tv   The Evening Edit  FOX Business  June 4, 2018 5:00pm-6:00pm EDT

5:00 pm
i left the white house $16 million in debt. david: so he was the victim because for a nanosecond, he was in debt. melissa: i mean, that was just amazing. he went on and on, and he said he never apologized to monica lewinsky. david: good reporter. good questions. melissa: evening edit is right now. liz: the stock market continuing to power ahead. optimism over job growth in the economy and tech stocks, they are powering a dow blowing past trade fears up 178 points today. this as the midterm primary season kicks off tomorrow and democrat nancy pelosi kicks off a new line of attack to regain power. this time throwing shade on the solid growth in jobs. you won't believe the latest argument there. and the fight for power in dc. now officially on. eight states tomorrow, including the all important california holding primaries. so what will get voters up off the couch to vote?
5:01 pm
and what will not work? well, we've got the antitax cut democrats and their wall-to-wall resistant hate trump. we also have the republicans focusing on bread and butter kitchen table economics and trying to stamp down fears over trade fights. money, politics, we deliver the debate behind tomorrow's headlines. i'm elizabeth macdonald. the evening edit starts right now. ♪ ♪ . liz: well, welcome to the show. it is the 500th day of the trump administration. the dow up 178 points. to end the day at 24,813. the nasdaq notching a record close. shares of apple and amazon jumping to new record highs. let's get right to nicole petallides in the thick of the action on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the very latest. nicole. >> liz, two days of gain we have that optimism from friday on that better than expected jobs report. that low unemployment 18-year
5:02 pm
low, and that really translated right into today. in fact, in those two days together, we're up almost 400 points. you see the dow finished up 178 points. the nasdaq closes at a record. the russell hit the record as well, and we saw consumer in technology stocks leading the way. taking a look at some of the dow winners because it was mostly winners here on wall street today. with some lighter volume. but you can see walmart, merck, home depot lead the way. merck has had trials with melanoma, so that's up 2.5%. but new record highs for apple, amazon, microsoft, netflix, look at that across the board. in fact, the house put a $2,000 target on amazon. a quick peak at starbucks and howard schultz will be stepping down as the chairman and will have the hornary title. ipo in 1992, and it's up 21,000% since then.
5:03 pm
and, of course, they've seen profitability and social consciousness, they say. liz: great to see you, nicole. thank you very much. nancy pelosi getting optimistic and wrong headed in her quest to gain history to gain power as house majority speaker. saying quote the main jobs report shows strong unemployment numbers mean little to the families hit with soaring new cost under the republicans watch. but did the may jobs report really show that? now, according to government data. full-time jobs. talking full time not part time. up 213,000 versus 93,000 over obama's entire presidency. obama did inherit a recession. government policies, though, had a lot of part-time jobs coming in. let's get to federal reserve bank of atlanta. second quarter of gdp growth. ticking to 4.8%. a comparable number to obama's final quarter in office. less than half that at 1.84. and despite the democrats
5:04 pm
saying tax cuts will grow and balloon the deficit, look at this. the cbo says tax revenues in april came pouring in. 515billion. that's up a strong 13% versus last year. and for the first time since the national federation of independent businesses, you like that ka-ching there? you hear that? they begin surveying wages in 1986. a record 35% of small businesses say they increased wages and compensation last month. let's get economist ben stein joining me now for reaction. so what do you think of all those numbers, ben. >> almost unbelievable. i mean, this economy is so strong, it's terrifying. this is the king kong of economies. it has just burst out of the jungle, and it's doing phenomenally. incredibly well. to be sure even with the increased tax revenues in april, we are running very large deficits. so to some extent, this is a deficit of that boom.
5:05 pm
but the economy is astoundingly strong, and i will tell you just anecdotally, you walk down any street in any of the towns i live in, especially washington, d.c. or l.a. and you see help wanted, help wanted, help wanted everywhere. everybody is short of labor. it's almost like it was during world war ii when there were such tremendous labor shortages. liz: interesting. ben, look at this. the president just tweeting quote the fake news media desperate to distract the economy in record-setting numbers. so talking about the phony witch hunt in many ways this is the greatest economy in the history of america, the best time ever to look for a job. okay. people could dispute that best time ever. but the real point, ben, is this: there are unseeming food fights breaking out in washington things like where is melania trump and other fights. nancy pelosi is mistaking activity with her comments as achievement.
5:06 pm
that's what the debate is about. policy achievement; right? i mean, do these numbers -- are these numbers -- you're talking about, are they crumbs in the do they mean little to american families. >> they're incredibly important numbers. they're absolutely mind-boggling numbers. and the numbers for jobs are great. the number for full time equivalent jobs are great. the number of people who were not in the labor force that have now left the idle less on the sidelines are now going into the labor force are fantastic. there are infringe benefits. the number of people -- hardly anyone is losing so many more people own homes and many. not all parts of the country are seeing great improvement in the value of their homes. that's a little bit of a worey there. could be a pending housing bubble in some parts of the economy. but the for nancy pelosi to criticize it, really takes all of her fable power of
5:07 pm
imagination. liz: you know, ben, obama's first chief economist larry summers said the u.s. would not see 3% growth. a new era of stagnation upon us. paul krugman said it's more likely we would see driverless flying cars than 4% growth. and remember when hillary clinton said trump's tax plan would destroy millions of jobs? >> by contrast, donald's plan has been analyzed to conclude it might lose 3.5 million jobs. why? because his whole plan is to cut taxes, to give the biggest tax break ever to the wealthy and to corporations. adding $20 trillion to our debt and pausing the kind of dislocation that we have seen before. because it truly will be trickle down economics on steroids. so the plan i have, i think will actually produce greater opportunities. the plan he has will cost us jobs and possibly lead to another great recession. liz: i mean, i have said this eight years ago. they're for trickle down government. your reaction here.
5:08 pm
>> my reaction is incredibly impossible to predict the economy. people just say whatever they think is going to get them elected. this is trump's economy is magnificent. i cannot help but give him a fantastically high a plus work for his work on the economy, and i agree with him entirely, and i agree with you entirely on where is mrs. trump. where is what's going on with the russian witch hunt. it's all to distract that we've made incredible progress on the economy. this -- i don't know exactly what mr. trump's done. he must have some magic wand that he has waved, but we are doing amazingly well. it's hard to believe that it can last much longer, and i have to say he's right. this is the best economy in history. last time we had economy with this much history was during wartime, and we're still having strengthened economy. liz: that's interesting, ben. let's move on to this next
5:09 pm
case. manufacturing jobs. blue-collar backbone of the democrat party. look at this. 256,000 created over the last 12 months. more than prior combined. i think 322,000 since donald trump took office. but remember when president obama questioned donald trump saying "well, how is he going to bring those factory jobs? they're not coming back. watch. >> for those folks who have lost their jobs right now because a plant went down to mexico, some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back. he's going to bring all of these jobs back. well, how exactly are you going to do that? what are you going to do? i'm going to negotiate a better deal. how exactly are you going to negotiate that? what magic wand do you have? . liz: ben, your reaction. >> the magic wand is optimism. business runs on optimism. optimisms are the heartbeat of the country, and i think everyone in the hiring end of the business world is optimistic now that the government is not going to
5:10 pm
stomp on their oxygen hose and not going to do anything tricky or difficult to stamp them down and keep them down, and that means everything. optimism is everything in the economy. obama was antibusiness, anticorporate. and, by the way, when mrs. pelosi slams corporations, corporations are owned by the teachers unions, they're owned by the steel workers unions, they're owned by the automobile workers unions. corporations are not all owned by the rockefellers. corporations are owned by individual workers through their pension plans. it's great when corporations are doing well. liz: that's an important point. you know, the federal reserve, look at this, ben. now saying quote manufacturing higher gear. more than half saw a pickup in factory at this time of. a third saying the activity is strong. you know, that's as good of report card we've seen in manufacturing in a decade, maybe two. you know, to your point, ben, also, the long-term underemployed have lost their factory jobs. now it looks like they're getting them back. what do you think.
5:11 pm
>> it has been sort of a miracle. i mean, i hate to think maybe i'm dreaming this, and i'm going to wake up, and it's not true. but it is miraculous recovery in manufacturing. i don't think it has to do with the trade deals. i think it just has to do with a general optimistic feeling. mr. trump has kind of a magic he gives off, which encourages people. you see in israelis. people are credentialed by him. and when i meet people in business, they love him. when i meet people in teachers unions, they hate him. by the way, you said a moment ago the manufacturing people are the bases of the democrat party. that used to be. now it's the teachers union. liz: that's interesting. you know, ben, i think all of this is going on even before the tax cuts are fully in effect right, ben? final word. >> that's absolutely true. and as i say, there is something about him that just makes people feel better. not in the teachers union, not in the big studios of the
5:12 pm
mainstream media, but out there in america where people hire people, he makes people feel better. liz: great to see you, ben stein. love having you go on. come back soon. >> thank you very much. liz: now, look at this bombshell story. it's a game changer. a blood test that's able to detect and pick up ten types of cancer years before a person falls ill. we've got the breaking details. also, look at this: president obama gave canadian prime minister justin trudeau advice to speak out and stand up if he felt threatened. obama gave that advice before he left office. coming up, we're going to have wguest on that's going to debate all of that. he's from the last -- this is
5:13 pm
basically under the last administration, that's what happened. we also have former president bill clinton breaking press event and hitting trump saying impeachment hearings would've begun already if a democrat were president. we're bringing in former oversight chair jason chaffetz going to react to the sound after this. he's fired up. don't go away thousands of families every month, listening and offering local knowledge and advice to help find the best senior living communities across the country and it won't cost you a cent.
5:14 pm
this is a free service. call today. a place for mom. you know your family. we know senior living. together we'll make the right choice.
5:15 pm
>> if there were a democratic president, most people in washington believe impeachment hearings would've begun already. >> if it were a democrat in power right now. >> yeah. and most people i
5:16 pm
know believe that the press would have been that hard or harder. liz: former president bill clinton saying impeachment hearings would've begun already if a democrat were president. let's bring in former republican oversight committee chair jason chaffetz. good to see you, sir. >> hey, thanks for having me. appreciate it. . liz: so do you think impeachment proceedings would be well underway by now. >> no. first of all, there's got to be some evidence that the president has done something wrong. high crimes and misdemeanors. but thus far if you ask a democrat what's the single best piece of evidence you have, they don't have anything. they don't like the fact that donald trump's the president. they have already started, you know, picking out the furniture and the carpet and the drapes for hillary clinton, and it didn't come to fruition, and they've been beating this drum since day one, and i think america's tired of it. liz: you know, a number of democrats, they do not run on
5:17 pm
the beef trump bandwagon. former campaign chair for both bill and hillary clinton, he's also saying don't do that. in fact, i think democrats won. they gained five seats in 1998 when republicans complained on impeaching bill clinton. so was this a mistake by the former president to say that? >> i think it's a distraction. the fact is the democrats going into a pivotal primary tomorrow, they don't have anything other than put nancy pelosi back in charge, let's raise taxes, let's get more of those regulations in place, that is not resonating with the american people. and they don't have an issue to run on, so they run on all of these other distractions to try to get you to look somewhere else as opposed to the booming success of the economy, which you've been talking about in this show. liz: you know, congressman, all sorts of sectors of the u.s. cultural, business, they were affected by the me too movement. here's president bill clinton defending his behavior in the monica lewinsky scandal during that interview. let's listen.
5:18 pm
>> looking back on what happened then through the me too now. do you think differently or feel more responsibility. >> no. i felt terrible then, and i came to grips with it. >> did you ever apologize for you. >> no. yes. and nobody believes that i got out of that for free. i never talked to her, but i did say publicly on more than one occasion that i was sorry. that's very different. the apology was public. i dealt with it 20 years ago. plus and the american people stayed with me, and i tried to do a good job since then with my life and with my work. liz: okay. here are the facts. chelsea clinton is about six and a half years older than monica lewinsky. bill clinton saying he was $16 million in debt when he left office. he's saying he publicly apologized. does he owe monica lewinsky a
5:19 pm
private apology. >> i mean, the decency of it, you would think so. that's really up to ms. lewinsky more than, you know, me as a partisan republican here in utah. but the fact of the matter is, the president went before the american people and lied. and he lied about it, and he did something that was horrific and should have never been done. and did he pay a price for it? i -- you know, anybody else, i dealer think they should have been booted out of office. and just the humility of it, they should have stepped down from office. but he didn't, and he persevered, and he continued on, and he won reelection, and history will rewrite a lot of things about it. but the reality is he lied about it, and he look into the american people's eyes and lied about it, and i think that will stick with him throughout history. liz: all right. let's move on. let's get to this: the primary season officially kicks off tomorrow. eight states including the all important california. voters there -- everybody's going to the polls in those states.
5:20 pm
here's the game plan for the democrats. they need 23 seats to take back the house. nancy pelosi trying to make history by regaining the house majority speakership yet again. that's why california is o of the up most important to reclaim power. the democrats are trying to flip ten of the 14 house seats that republicans now hold in california. remember, hillary clinton won seven of those districts back in 2016. again, california looks like it may set the stage for the midterms. congressman, what do you think of pelosi versus republicans focusing on kitchen table issues that matter? i mean, talking about trying to repeal the state gas taxes. that's on the ballot. california gas is up 78 cents higher than the national average. go ahead. >> well, look, democrats have always advocating that they wanted higher gas prices if they were left, they wanted higher taxes on gas and higher prices on gas. so people are smart.
5:21 pm
they see through the duplicatecy. to try to blame it on republicans, that's what they always advocating for. they had this crazy so-called gorilla primary in california. there are three districts in orange county that are pivota p. liz: you mean the jumble primary; right? you meant to call it a jungle primary. >> jungle primary, gorilla primary, whatever you want to call it. it's crazy. so different than what most -- exactly. and so, yeah, they've got a very different system there. it's really hard to tell district by district what's going to happen. but very well could be the republicans actually hold those seats that they're pretty much banking on flipping. liz: congressman, we love having you go on. come back soon. that was great stuff. >> thank you. thanks, liz. liz: sure. more evidence of liberal silicon valley. we're talking the california silicon valley tech company google under fire yet again. this time, a picture labeled a trump was supporting a republican-state senator.
5:22 pm
a really nasty word. a bigot. we've got the details. but first, former president obama giving justin trudeau advice saying hold up to your values if your values are threatened. former trump senior adviser is going to take that on after this. don't go away it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.
5:23 pm
hi.i just wanted to tell you thdependability award for its midsize car-the chevy malibu. i forgot. chevy also won a j.d. power dependability award for its light-duty truck the chevy silverado. oh, and since the chevy equinox and traverse also won chevy is the only brand to earn the j.d. power dependability award across cars, trucks and suvs-three years in a row. phew. third time's the charm...
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
>> there's a new book out by a long time aid of former president obama ben rhodes, and he writes this in the book. he said "obama not usually an outwardly sentimental man attempted to pass a torch of sorts, and he referred to a meeting with you. justin, your voice is going to be needed more, as he leaned on his knees. you're going to have to speak out when certain values are threatened. you brought this up you feel as if you're going to step up in certain ways. when did you interpret what president obama was trying to pass to you. >> we're going to be polite, but we're also not going to be
5:26 pm
pushed around, and that need to be firm about projecting our values and defending not just our citizens but citizens around the world. liz: that was canadian prime minister justin trudeau talking about the advice former president obama gave to him before leaving office. now, listen to this. trudeau taking up that advice. showing that canada is quote being firm. now speaking out against the administration's trade tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum. >> the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable. liz: let's take it up with former trump state department senior adviser christian. great to see you, christian. >> great to see you. liz: so justin trudeau is friends with president obama. they're going to have those. what did you make of president obama's advice of justin trudeau. >> i think obama was actually
5:27 pm
telling a fellow left-winger, basically, you should resist trump. this was part of obama's efforts to make life trouble for his successor. really unprecedented in american history. trudeau is, you know, not at a lot of things in diplomacy. he wears colorful socks around the world. he embarrassed himself in his country in india dressing up like a clown when he met with prime minister. but what is good, we'll see later this week is criticizing his number one ally, the united states, and he's going to lead the course against us in québec at the g7 this week. liz: all right. what if president trump said that to a political leader. what if he did the same thing. >> i think interpreted as, again, trying to use a foreigner to influence world affairs to the detriment of the united states. liz: you know, here's the thing. isn't it worth noting that canada has a tougher immigration policy than we do. they've got a refugee-based system, and they're tough on refugees right now. >> yeah. there's a tremendous amount of hypocrisy in this,
5:28 pm
also, they're lecturing us on free trade. if you look at canada, they have a 270% tariff on dairy products imported from the united states and other countries. the fact that we're trying to create a level playing field and defend some of our own industries that are important from a national security perspective, and they're just throwing a lot of hypocrisy our way. liz: this may be the tip of the iceberg. we don't know what our leaders are telling leaders from other countries. we know, of course, what's being reported about what's happening with this administration. but we also have secretary of state under president obama christian, under fire for a reported shadow diplomacy to save president obama's iran deal. again, could there be more to thistory than we know about. >> yh. and this oy came to light because ben rhodes, the architect of obama foreign policy after he got a masters in creative writing from nyu basically put this in a book, the book got published, and this is how it came to light. over time, the obama legacy
5:29 pm
being undone completely by president trump, it's going to come out that i was in the end of the bush administration, and we were under such clear orders to make things good for the next team because it was right for the country and obama did the opposite, and it's going to come to light because of partnership and their ideologies. they have done as much as possible to undermine the president. if it hurts america, our economy, our national security, they don't care. liz: well, here's trump budget director mick mulvaney talking to fox about the president's policies this morning. i like your reaction. let's take a listen. >> cannot just ask other countries to treat us better. that's not the way the world works. but everything a president has done is described to help american workers and the american family. and the trade policies is part of that. will it be as quick to show results? probably not because we're dealing with foreign countries and not just congress on the hill. but everything is aimed in the same direction. liz: and you're dealing with companies too. it's going to be tough to get this trade policy done, christian. it's not a given we're going to get those factory jobs back
5:30 pm
because of tariffs. companies can simply go and make stuff in factories more cheaply and, say, vietnam or malaysia; right? >> yeah. but increasing tariffs on steel and aluminum, there are categories to make sure our supply chain is intact and okay. but, again, going back to trudeau, we import a lot of steel of a particular kind that's very important in armor from canada. canada goes pretty left wing sometimes, and we probably don't want to be dependent on them for that. also, i think trump realizes we have a lot of leverage. our exports to canada are about 2% of our gdp. canada's exports to the united states, 25% of their gdp. we have leverage, and these countries are playing with fire. liz: to your point, quickly, there was breaking news. the imf now saying the trump tariffs on canada will hit canada's economy pretty hard so they can come to the table possibly rapidly. christian, great to see you. we love having you go on. good stuff there. >> thanks, liz. liz: coming up, a bombshell of
5:31 pm
a report. a blood test that's able to detect ten types of cancer years before a person falls ill. we've got the details. but first, california's silicon valley tech company, it is google under fire again. this time for a picture labeling a trump-supporting republican state senator as a bigot. conservative commentator lawrence jones is fired up about this. saying this is more evidence of silicon valley bias. that's after this
5:32 pm

5:35 pm
. liz: more evidence of potential bias at google. look at this. liberal california silicon valley company under fire again. this time for a picture labeling a trump-supporting republican state senator as a bigot. you can see it there on the search results. the north korea state senator responding to fox about it earlier. >> we certainly see this a lot in editorials and the news media, especially the liberal media on social media, on any outlet like that, you can go on and call anyone anything you would like to. and it's very hard to get it off. they do it in the liberal newspapers every day if you're a conservative and especially a conservative woman. they need to have a procedure in order to take those images down when they're not factual. liz: google under fire recently showing naziism under
5:36 pm
a california republican party listed as its ideology. google stock ending the day in the green. let's bring in conservative commentator he is lawrence jones. lawrence, your reaction to all of this. >> well, liz, it's kind of hard to take these companies seriously, especially when they act like children and refuse to take any type of accountability. this is a group of people that have said that this was wikipedia's fault. they have no idea how it took place. they knew well why this happened. it's in the middle of an election season, and they are puppets for the democratic party, and they're trying to help their party, plain and simple. liz: google can knock out all things pretty rapidly out of their search results but google is being accused of dragging its feet over this instance of removing this term bigot off of that photo. i mean, google did offer an apology to the senator. but, again, it took a while for them to take it down.
5:37 pm
your reaction. >> well, they find a way to block conservative speech all day. and so the fact of the matter is that someone knows what happened inside this organization. this is a multibillion dollar company. if this is the level of incompetence -- and we know, liz, just based on their history that they don't like conservative. but at the end of the day, this should be about a business. liz: you know what -- >> there are bashing half of their audience. liz: that's the point. their stubbornness drains them of all common sense. when you call somebody a name, you shut down debate about policies; right? it is so easy to shut people down by calling them a name. but you know what? the american people, the polls showing, lawrence, they're not having it. go ahead. >> well, liz, them as a business, their job is to curate content from all different sides of the political. they can have a private stamp. but the fact that they're willing to put their business on the line because their
5:38 pm
political agenda is stunning to me. and we see this for a lot of the left. what's going to eventually happen is that conservatives will find a different platform, and they're going to lose the money. liz: or google is so powerful, i think it's more than 90% of all search results done on google. lawrence, very good point there. you make an excellent point. republicans or congress could step in and say wait a second. house intelligence committee chairman devon nunez telling maria bartiromo just that. that google may need to testify about these search results that keep coming up. let's listen. >> it's always been there with newspapers and is television. but now as you see it getting into the internet, and it's one of the challenges we have with millennials. so somebody types in republican and up comes nazi. well, nobody wants to be affiliated with nazis. should they be reigned in? i hope they don't go there. i hope they don't get involved in politics and sensor
5:39 pm
conservative republicans. but if they do it, we have to move obviously to hearings on these issues. liz: do you hear that? they could step in and regulate. i mean, if they don't stop it, they don't do it, they could get regulated. go ahead, lawrence. >> well, it becomes very complicated for me, liz, because i'm a free market guy, and i don't think the government should step in. i think the free market is going to decide at the end of the day. remember, think about how the media during this past election try to take control of the lecture and the american people decided, hey, we're going to turn them off, and we're going to vote the way we want to vote, and we're seeing that other businesses. when the american people speak up and say, hey, i'm against these agendas and these, you know, policy stances that you guys are taking with your platform, they go somewhere else. and at the end of the day, we see those businesses start to cave. so i think that's the best solution to google. liz: yeah, it looks like a leading edge of a problem there for google. great to see you, lawrence. come back soon. we love having you go on. we're going to still talk about this boom shell that's able to pick up ten types of
5:40 pm
cancer. it's a ground-breaking report, and it can do it, apparently, years before a person falls ill. we're going to bring you the details coming up. but first, a new report. another bombshell report. facebook shared you and your family and your friends personal information with way more companies than you realize. and the information, you're going to want to hear about the details coming up >> we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that was a big mistake. and it was my mistake, and i'm sorry. i started facebook, i run it, and i'm responsible for what happened here.

gave at least 60 device makers of phone makers deep access to more than 50 types of information about you, your friends, and your family. we're talking phone numbers, e-mails, relationships status, politics, even more. now, even about you borrowed that sharing, they got the info. the new york times also did a test on blackberry and show back burglary grabbed facebook messages too. the companies include apple, microsoft, samsung, all happened over the last decade without your consent. facebook admits it has partnered with companies to do things like help build apps and to get a bigger system out there through these phone companies. but it's still saying there were restrictions saying quote we controlled them tightly from the get-go. facebook stock closing the day in the red down less than half a percent, though. not really taking hits, again, from a story like this. let's bring in democrat strategist al. great to see you both. you know, kelsey, here's the
5:45 pm
thing. didn't facebook say the same thing that they control the information? they said that about cambridge that they were controlling the information tightly there but that information was used for political purposes as well. >> hi, liz, thank you so much for having me. look, i understand americans' frustration when it comes to this question about what facebook and other tech companies are doing with our private and personal data. but i also think we can't be naïve here. we're all consenting adults. and when we use these platforms, it's a choice. and most of us are using them for free. so i think it's a little naïve to think. liz: i hear what you're saying but i don't even know if people understood the extent of it, though, kelsey, it's pretty broad. >> i agree with you there. i don't think facebook has been transparent. i think they have an obligation to be more transparent with its customers, and i think it's worth facebook considering a version of its platform where consumers have a choice to pay for version where their data will not be sold.
5:46 pm
liz: that's a good point. and, you know, al, apple ceo tim cook. al, you've talked about this. apple ceo tim cook is saying we are all about privacy. but it turns out apple was getting the information too. let's listen to tim cook. >> mark zuckerberg, what would you do? >> what would i do? i wouldn't be in this situation. we're not going to traffic in your personal life. i think it's an invasion of privacy. i think it's -- privacy to us is a human right. it's a civil liberty. and in something that is unique to america, you know? this is, like, freedom of speech and freedom of the press and privacy is right up there for us. liz: well, you know, apple has been prett good along those lines, al. and now they're involved in this too. al, go ahead. >> well, i would agree in part with your other guest. but here's the problem. the law's very clear. you have to tell people what you do. and if you don't do that, you
5:47 pm
can be subject to federal trade commission enforcement. and it looks like -- i don't know for sure -- but it looks like facebook may have told people one thing and done another thing. apple has historically been very pro privacy, even pushing at times for opt in legislation on the hill. so i would say -- i would give cook some credit there. but all of these tech companies give people notice, but it's very beneath many layers of web pages, it's very convoluted and complex. and people don't actually know what's going on. they could if they read it. but most people don't do that. liz: yeah, that's a really important point you just made there, al. let's get to the me too movement. it changed the world forever, including the business world. bill clinton now defending his behavior amid the me too movement. let's listen. >> looking back on what happened then through me too now. do you think differently or feel more responsibility. >> no. i felt terrible then. and i came to grips for it. >> did you ever apologize for it.
5:48 pm
>> yes. and nobody believes i got out of it for free. i never talked to her, but i did say publicly on more than one occasion that i was sorry. that's very different. the apology was public. i dealt with it 20 years ago plus and the american people stayed with me, and i tried to do a good job since then with my life and my work. liz: okay. let's focus on monica lewinsky here, kelsey. no private apology from bill clinton. she was just about six and a half years younger than chelsea clinton at the time. she has spoken in the past about her epic humiliation. she was shamed in silence. even thought about leaving the country. had post traumatic stress disorder and more. and got zero support from feminist and liberal women. your reaction to this, women. >> it's deeply hypocritical. monica lewinsky's name was
5:49 pm
dragged through the mud, and it's important to remember that this affair happened when bill clinton was president of the united states, and she was an intern in the white house. that's very different from any of the conversations we're having about president trump right now. and i think this interview was extremely unflattering for bill clinton to not be open to offering her some sort of personal apology looking back now from the me too perspective. liz: you know, i think i need to correct myself. i think that -- yes, monica lewinsky is older. six and a half years older than chelsea. your reaction to all of this, al. >> well, i think kelsey is right in the sense that there was a power of equity in the white house. but, look, bill clinton faced an awful lot of music for this. he has said he's sorry, and i don't like the way the right concentrate confiscates his behavior with donald trump. they're just different and the president was impeached. president clinton wasn't convicted. donald trump has said he's
5:50 pm
going to pardon himself. liz: i hear you, al. do you hear bill clinton should privately apologize to monica lewinsky. >> i hate this retrospective gotcha. liz: no, i'm just asking you a question. what do you think. >> sure. liz: kelsey, al, you've been terrific. really appreciate your time. >> thank you. liz: we're going to get to this story. ten types of cancer can be picked up by a new blood test years before a person falls ill. we're bringing in the guy to talk to. dr. mark siegel. he's on it after this you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one.

5:54 pm
ill. it could become available within five years, scientists say. trials on a number of patients found this simple procedure -- looks like it's effective. let's bring in fox dr. mark siegel. wow. >> it's called a liquid biopsy. basically, the idea is tumors make mutations. they make abnormally dna. and that dna is in your blood before you could see it in the tumor. so they scanned the blood looking for this abnormally dna or genetic material, and they actually found it, and we're talking cleveland clinic here in a high percentage of the cases. 1400 patients were studied. they looked at colon cancer, ovarian cancer, lymphoma -- and pancreatic too. >> and pancreatic. pancreatic and ovarian are two biggies because you never get to see them until it's too late. liz: those are the deadly and silent. >> we need more numbers. it's too early for this to go out on the market. liz: we don't even have any companies linked to it yet.
5:55 pm
>> not yet. liz: and harvard. >> harvard has another study where they looked at 127 lung cancers and found with about a 50% accuracy finding it early. liz: wow. >> the point is genetic markers abnormally dna finding cancer production it. liz: amazing, amazing stuff. let's get to another amazing medical break through. according to an international study, many women with breast cancer would receive chemotherapy now do not actually need it. it's expected to change medical treatment. >> now, this one's here. this is not in the future. this is here. liz: this is now. >> this is a study that looked at 10,000 women over a decade and used a tool we knew about called tailor rx that looked at 21 genes for abnormalities. and if you're a woman that has breast cancer, and we know we can cure it by taking the tumor out early stages, then the woman says to us, well, wait a minute. you're going to give me radiation, you're going to give me hormone therapy because i have hormone
5:56 pm
receptor positive, what about chemo? and we have used this tool in the past. if you were high risk, you got chemo. you still get chemo. if you were low risk -- now they're saying. >> intermediate risk, which is 70,000 women a year in the united states in the intermediate category now we can use these genetic markers to tell chemo or no chemo and the majority of time. so thousands and thousands where they don't get poisoned, their hair doesn't fall out, they don't get nauseous, risk cancer or infection. liz: you love these developments. you're passionate and fired up. >> because it's personalizing medicine, liz. this is personalized medicine. woman by woman, patient by patient. liz: dr. siegel, we love you. come back soon. we have more after the break. don't go away until... we lost it. today, we're renewing our commitment to you. fixing what went wrong. and ending product sales goals for branch bankers.
