>> we are coming on the countdown closer. the markets finish in the red right now. 29106. triple digit loss for the dow. strong for the week, personally take into account a stellar january job report that came in this morning. that will do it for "the claman countdown". >> wall street closing the week on a down note which is ridiculous because we had a great jobs number but the profit taking all three ending in negative territory. snack being a four-day winning streak with a very strong jobs report. that blew past expectations. the dow down 277 points, still above 29000. i am alyssa francis. happy friday. connell: i am connell mcshane. the nasdaq also done for the day. first day they've expensive for this weight. president trump making his way back from north carolina at this

hour expected to land at the white house any minute. we will bring you headlines that come from the president this hour. we will cover it all at the top story with blake berman at the white house, susan lee on the floor and edward lawrence in washington with the jobs report but blake we begin with you. >> we are expecting president trump back here at the white house probably later this hour, it's the first time he left washington since being acquitted in the senate on wednesday in his impeachment trial. the president spending the afternoon in charlotte, north carolina with the opportunity zones which is the component of the 2017 tax cut and job act. it's also a key feature in the president tuesday night state of the union speech which had a heavy focus on a look back at the past three years. there are real questions here in washington right now would just how much can get done over the next year looking ahead. before leaving for charlotte today, the president was asked if he can work with nancy pelosi

and democrats and he did not give any reassurances. >> i think there is a lot of people on that side. they've gone totally crazy pray too bad. i've gotten tremendous amount done more than anybody has gotten done in three years. by far. but they're not constructive people. >> we expect to get a clear picture of the president's priorities going forward on monday. that is when he is expected to release his fiscal year 2021 budget. connell: that's what the democrats claim. melissa: a blockbuster start to 2020, the u.s. economy adding 225,000 jobs in january. absolutely crushing expectations of 160,000. the unemployment rate is still near a 50 year low. edward going says in washington with the details. big report edward. >> it really was, the expectations left in the rearview mirror with this one.

it shows an increasing rate of job growth in 2020 or at least to start 2020. for example, 219,175,000 jobs per month on average is what was created over the past three months so, here in 2020 and the end of 2019 it's 211,000 jobs that have been created boosting the economy. wages still rising, 3.1% over the past 12 months, that is more money and paychecks but not enough to put pressure on inflation. the biggest winner and job creation and gene reconstruction, healthcare, transportation, the really interesting part in this report could be the reason the unemployment rate kicked up slightly to 3.6%, 183,000 people reenter the labor force up 11.1% from december. these were people who were in the labor force and dropped out and are now back in the labor force. one uncertainty that has been growing is issue around

coronavirus. maybe the reason the market is down today, white house economic advisors do not see that slowing economic expansion. >> is a very hard thing to do. there is a lot there that involved in things we don't know. internally, we have looked at a drop in gdp of perhaps two tenths of 1%. that's all we found so far. december, january, if you look at january numbers on our economy they are booming. at the moment we don't see any negatives. they may come, i cannot predict the future on this. but we think it'll be an absolute minimal. >> a minimal, you heard him there. this may show up in the jobs report in the next month still this job report shows a very strong foundation to the economy, one footnote, literally in the fine . of the report here it says the labor department is now counting same-sex marriages

and the marital status report section of this report, same-sex marriages for the first time are now being included under marital status. >> interesting. >> with that strong report as we talk about the stock market was still in the red for the day. in the green for the week though. we get a perspective from susan lee who is on the. >> it came to an end with a strong week for the s&p and nasdaq. even the dow, for the dow and s&p the strongest week in eight months and then nasdaq the best week for the market but it declined today since 2018. we started on monday with manufacturing because they are no longer a contraction maybe manufacturing recession is over. we've had a pretty good earnings season so far. being led by big tech once again for the gain amazon, apple, facebook and microsoft as well. so three out of the

4 trillion-dollar companies in the u.s. leading the way. microsoft is seen pretty stellar gains up 8% or so. what really drags in the market today actually is what were getting from the asia-pacific and the concerns about the impact from a coronavirus. j.p. morgan flashing growth expectations for china in the first quarter. this 1%. this is the second largest economy in the world and they expected to grow initially at 6% so it went from six to one and expected to have a global ripple effect in a expected to have a bigger effect in the u.s. economy. but for the week not bad, for the day, taking some gains of profits heading for the weekend. connell: thank you. melissa: here now for more perspective on the jobs report. thomas phillips in the white house counsel of economic advisors. thank you so much for joining us. i have heard larry kudlow say whole bunch of times this is a blue-collar boom and when you look inside the numbers even

wages for production workers rising at double the pace than their managers. if you look at the federal reserve, wages at the bottom 25% are growing faster than the top 25%. is there a part of the economy that the president would like to target next? >> we are very, very happy with wherwhat is going on right now. this is really a labor market of a lifetime if you think about it. we have broken a bunch of records in 2019 and were currently accelerating out of those records with the job report. what was nice about this report is confirming for multiple sources that we had a blockbuster january behind us. one was obviously the government data coming out today but even the private data coming out a couple days ago and unemployment insurance is hitting rock

bottom, all of those in the government data, all four majors indicating this was an extremely robust january. >> in spite of the numbers in the data you heard democrats that are running against the president say that they want an economy that works for everybody that this is only for the rich and even though, i don't know democrats don't like to do numbers, i think they think math is a myth. if you look at the numbers, they continue to say it, how do you counter that message. >> the message is, there was a tax cut for the rich. they're basically off and the data from what the data is telling you on both fronts. the tax cuts did not reduce revenue according to their own data were finding out now. the second thing well then equality is falling. and you see this in today's jobs numbers which was 44000 new construction jobs. the reason they are there is essentially because we have a housing boom going on with

enormously benefiting middle income people because they are the main wealth component is housing inc. pension. and they have grown and well far faster than the one per centers. which reverses equality. >> you mentioned income inequality and i know i pay more taxes now than before. not very exciting but i live in that country new york. medium income under president obama felt almost a whole time for the entire eight years. it rose by only $1000. medium income in the triple administration is almost up $4500 more than four times what it was during the entire obama administration. are you thinking about another tax cut by any chance? how do you keep that going from here? some people say were due for recession, this is the longest expansion that we have seen, maybe a tax cut would keep going

what do you think? >> they said that in august 2019 that we were going to have a recession. they say that the day the president got elected. and obviously people say that don't understand what was coming. i think that is pretty clear what has happened since. melissa: we heard larry kudlow and others talk about a ta tax t or something that would be targeted to the middle class to drive home the point that is who this is all about is there more talk about that? >> we're deliberating on that for sure. all the economic units both csea and treasury and others are deliberating on it, i don't want to front line that process but there's something that certainly will come up with during the election year. melissa: thomas phillipson, think every time. connell: as we move on, banking on billionaire support and bernie sanders and pete buttigieg running neck and neck in new hampshire after the iowa caucus, wall street heavyweight

>> reading from headlines from newspapers about pete buttigieg, he has most exclusive billionaires than any other candidate. but we are in a moment where billionaires control our econom. connell: that's what we call an attack on momentum. bernie sanders blasi pete buttigieg the former mayor of south bend, indiana has been rising this week in the polls. and now we have multiple finance sources telling fox news that wall street backers are considering throwing their weight behind mayor pete.

here is the hills editor-in-chief. if this happens, it is interesting obviously we know what bernie will do, he will go after them and say this is a party billionaires but also mayor pete could be well-funded to go forward in this campaign if he's taken biting money from wall street, what do you think. >> absolutely. this is a good sign for buttigieg, he did very well and i will, and the fact that bernie is going after him means he is a threat. he is a threat, he has the momentum and it's all about the momentum. let's face it, wall street cares about one thing, wall street. they are very concerned about bernie's policies. i am not surprised, they are going to get a lot of money in 2020. >> bloomberg does not need it, it makes an interesting dynamic. then it's down to biden and mayor pete, if you're sitting on wall street may be back on

bloomberg because that would be a favorable democratic and he basically comes for free. you don't have to make any political donation. >> bloomberg also is going to be getting in the democrat debates because the ncs changes roles. but overall, the pressure is on biden because buttigieg beat him soundly in iowa and it sounds like buttigieg will become in new hampshire, but we will see. the challenge for him is to get the minority voters. but his plan, he's all in for iowa, new hampshire and generate momentum into the later state. >> that has been the challenge numbers wise and especially heading into a state like south carolina. there is a debate in new hampshire tonight, what's interesting about that, someone made the comparison to the other side last time around in marco rubio's candidacy that he had a pretty good iowa. he had a better-than-expected iowa. andy had a terrible debate ahead of new hampshire and basically ruined him. so the pressure is on buttigieg to deliver tonight because everyone will go after them.

can he handle it? >> he has never been the main source of attack, some of the debates is fated to the backer. i don't think he had a bad debate but he did not have a shining moment. now he will be attacked in integral test if you're gonna win the nomination on either side you have to win the punch. he will be taking punches tonight. >> from biden and bernie. good to see you again. melissaprogressive candidates ae gearing up for the next challenge convincing voters the higher taxes are beneficial in the live free or die state. hillary is in the antitax state of new hampshire with all the details. >> new hampshire is a no income tax, no sales tax state. that is not stopping progressives with high tax plans from topping in the polls. right now senator bernie sanders is a current front runner for the nomination in new hampshire and we talk to you, undecided democrats about what they think about his plans to raise taxes

on the middle class to pay for medicare for all. >> it seems to be hitting at the 1% bracket. not something i fall into so i'm not concerned. >> i feel they should elaborate because i don't know if there will be a metal cut tax. >> i would be concerned if there was. >> probably a little bit socialist. >> probably to raise taxes for the people who get afforded to help those that cannot. >> maybe the upper class, hit them a little harder on the taxes, they can certainly afford more than we can. >> most people we talk to were not bothered at all about the idea of middle-class taxes going out but one boater told me he is taking democratic promises seriously but not literally. >> first of all they don't know what socialism is.

she is dead wrong. and they all think they are not getting taxed it someone else. you will get tax people every single one of you. thank you. sorry i can't help it. it is so annoying. socialism is the richer people should pay more, no that's not what it is. the government takes the memes of production. hello. connell: go back to those people. the virus, we continued new details on four passengers being evaluated for the coronavirus after a cruiseship docks on the east coast. plus, not so fast, new york striking back at the turbo administration decision to suspend the global entry program. ♪ it's the next one. you always drive this slow? how did you make someone i love? that must be why you're always so late. i do not speed. and that's saving me cash with drivewise. my son, he did say that you were the safe option.

wil melissa: the east coast, 27 people on a royal caribbean cruise ship screen for the

coronavirus. rushing four of the passengers to hospital for further observation. brian is on the scene in new jersey with the details. >> melissa, good afternoon. all the passengers on board have been disembarked in our now home all except for four of the passengers who were on their way, actually at a hospital in new jersey and being evaluated for possible coronavirus. the governor of new jersey said cdc personnel had 23 passengers on board a 23 were immediately cleared, four of those passengers obviously were not. they all had come from mainland china, royal caribbean is one of the four passengers tested positive for the flu and in a statement royal caribbean said, none of the forecast showed any clinical signs or symptoms of coronavirus while they were on board are all other guests had been permitted as usual.

we spoke to passengers in many said royal caribbean did not make an announcement on the crucial battle. they had no idea what was happening until they received text from family. but we did speak to a chinese national who said he was one of the 27 passengers who was isolated and he said we have not been to china in three years and now he's a little bit concerned no, nno. >> meanwhile 7000 passengers onto cruise ships are now under quarantine. one cruise ship off the japan the diamond princess with thousands of passengers are now going to be quarantines until february 19. a lot of americans on board that

ship have been diagnosed with coronavirus and there's another cruise ship on the coast of hong kong that is also quarantine. all of that while three planes carrying over 300 americans have landed at military base here in the united states where they will be in mandatory quarantine, those planes coming from china. they will be manned under mandatory quarantines for military bases for the next 14 days. well caribbean saying this just a couple of hours ago, they will no longer allow passengers with passports from hong kong, china or macau through february. on any other ship. >> thank you so much. >> the country is acting in a way on this virus and keep it contained. as long as that continues and as long as were getting good information about the coronavirus, things should start to get better around april, may, june and kick into full gear around the third quarter. connell: timing is everything in

it's hard to make the prediction. >> you think the risk is more on the downside to speak and things could get worse before they get better. and you have to make a bet whether a political bent or an economic that the things will get better in the second half of the year. it will stabilize over there. do you have confidence they can get it under control and as a result. >> that is what we are all hoping for. when you look at data from americans who are making changes about their own financial data, 74% think they will be better off financially from now, i'm optimistic about coronavirus and also optimistic about our economy at home and with the end of the winter season whether were talking about april, may projection of the coronavirus will be under control. we also tend to seek consumer spending around the summer months anyway because the kids are out of school and people are

taking vacations, warmer outside, activities and the cold include an viral season is so much more than coronavirus keeping a lot of people inside and were getting a lot of snow in denver but this is going to happen naturally as we move into summer. people will enjoy the economy and all that has to offer and it'll be to the presidents advantage. melissa: a booming economy, january blockbuster job hitting a record 112 straight months of job growth in the u.s. last month, you had some doubts. >> what concerns me most is that were in the end of the cycle historically low interest rate environment, historically this market has driven consumer spending, how long can i continue. >> in the short term i think there's more term to run but in the long to medium term i'm a little more bearish. >> this time -- let me ask you have you feeling any differently

now? >> you have me on the flashback friday. to borrow a line from joe biden which you probably don't hear much on the show. here's the deal, here's what i would say, obviously a very strong and healthy job report which drives consumer spending, historically low interest rate add fuel to the fire. we have a lot of positive fit into things heading to their momentum. trump's acquittal, phase one china trade deal and even tax cuts 2.0. i had said this last time too on the show. i think what you need to look out for is another box one type of event. if it's not the coronavirus it's something else. it's very difficult to predict that but i think what most people say, even leadership or management in general, you cannot get complacent when times are good. i am optimistic but also think people need to be prepared for another potential black swan

event particular coming outside the united states. melissa: the new cycle is so fast, anything can happen between now and the next election. it seems like it's around the corner and trump time is a billion years away. >> that is right certainly were not limited to what is happening on our country borders and outside of our control and foreign-policy, certainly on voters. we will see as the end of the democratic primary phase, a lot of those debates will completely shifted people will be paying attention to the issues that will drive the election. melissa: out more taxes are always bad. thank you. connell: reunion 15 years in the making, new report that all six stars of the show friends are going to return for what they're saying is going to be an hour long unscripted reunion special. >> thank goodness. connell: three of the $4 million

things and they're all focused, you will see it on in new hampshire, these democrats all of them want to have big tax increases and as people focus on issues rather than personalities, by golly, they will be in trouble politically. melissa: a couple questions on that. is there a method to the madness, everyone is behaving badly. they say trump is horrible at the press conference, all the things that he said in the right says nancy pelosi did this and that. if everyone is behaving in a uncivil manner, however, you want to say it, who wins? >> the president has occupied the office for three years and has a solid record. in the democrats only hope is to focus on nonrecord issues, i.e., tweets and things like that. when there behaving like nancy pelosi on national television turning up the speech as if she is a mad first grader, what does she stand have, 0.

all they can say is we don't like donald trump, people may not like him some but by golly if the economy is better in your wages going up, prospects better than they were, most americans would say yes, that's what will win elections, his approval rating is greater. approval ratings with election days is usually what the president gets, obama 51%, that the popular vote he got, same with george w. bush in 2004, 54% that's what he got. trump is moving up in the approval ratings, that's bad news for the democrats. melissa: nobody 100 knows who one iowa. >> that's a good issue for the republicans, you want these people to run your healthcare? melissa: if you look at the head in new hampshire, it is folks who really do want to raise everyone's taxes and turn the economy in the other direction. do you think -- pete buttigieg seems to be catching fire here, bernie sanders has had a lot of supporters for a long time.

both of them would mean really tough thanks for the economy and for the stock market and for jobs. do you think either of them, look like you have a chanter now? >> the answer is yes . the last time the democrats went so far to the left was 1972 before anyone watching the show was born. but the fact of the matter is in 1972 when they did that they lost 49 out of 50 states. that is what they're setting themselves up for this one. you don't have to have a popular income net as long as the record is good, economy and the other side is proposing stuff that will make everyone poor, not a winning formula and you think they would've learned the democrats but clearly they can't even run a caucus in iowa anymore. melissa: steve forbes thank you. connell: furious over federal government band, new york state taking steps to fight for residents place and the global entry system and other trusted traveler program sprayed will have an update on the story and

its networks and hoped, which is never a good strategy, and a hope security piece catches up to huawei implementation. so none of that would've been good it would've been a shouting match. connell: on a trade front in the u.s. with a bilateral sense. >> they have a lot to lose in the spring not only on the trade piece but they definitely need a bilateral trade agreement. we need to rush to help our british "friends" and that but on the sharing of intelligence, there is no when it gets more intelligence in real-time then great britain and if huawei is in those networks the united states will have to reevaluate, it won't mean it'll shut up and a half to reevaluate how it shares information. it would be big losses for them and makes it more difficult for us. we count on their intelligence, it goes both ways. connell: but talk about what he should do with 5g, the sec has the action for later this year so there's the case being made that we could build this up on

called cbn, goldilocks band of this. really, really important, great job, still work to do but great job on chairman pride to do this. the next piece, here's where bill barr might get it right, one of the things the chinese government is doing, it is unfairly investing in r&d, all government subsidy for r&d for huawei to move out on certain technologies. number two, the way they finance deals, these are government gifts of huge sums of money so huawei comes into your area and says izzy wrote down in 0 payments for three years and will pay for everything. hard to compete if your western company. i argue that the u.s. approach to this auto said let's reinvigorate the exim and do loan guarantees like nokia to be competitive in these markets and let's find a way to help them bridge th r&d gap.

and then let the companies run themselves. they're doing pretty well, the notion that nokia was in trouble, i kind of scratch my head, their cash went up, their market share is looking pretty good, they're in a pretty good financial position. now we need to help them beat back the chinese government from subsidizing the deals. connell: you can't just give some away. the former chairman of the house committee. melissa: they are challenging the trump administration, filing a lawsuit over the department of homeland security to suspend new yorkers applied or reapplying for the trusted traveler program such as global entry. the band was put in place because of the states information sharing policy with the federal government. governor andrew cuomo calling abuse of power, will new york be able to make a fair case, who better to ask than david asman. a lot of people are misunderstanding this issue.
