completely overstepped his mandate. english has named his successor and says it will likely follow his lead. this is who the president has named acting director. as of midnight friday night, mick mulvaney will also keep his job at the white house budget director. mick mulvaney is the one that called that department a joke. he says he would take a commonsense approach to leaving the step until the present can on a permanent director that will be confirmed by the senate in the upcoming weeks. the federal vacancies act gives the president directed to the appointment this way. the opposite of how it is laid out in dodd frank. we could look at a legal battle here. whichever way this shakes out, it could have massive implications for consumers and the financial industry. you have a student loan, and for a debt with anyone you will be affected. >> caroline in washington, thank you. >> federal tax reform could have a major impact on the sports world. if the house built is an active both sports teams could see the

remember, when you invest in stocks, you are investing in the future. the market itself is building gains that things it will have an in the months to come. and right now things have been good. the economy has a three percent clip which is an increase. the business environment is certainly more friendly. with the trumpet in addition, a lot of my clients are happy about that. confidence is up for consumers. business confidence is up. investment confidence is up. interest rates are relatively low, inflation is relatively low, unemployment is relatively low. numbers are good. and my speed to 70 people, sometimes i cannot make sense of the stock market, this market kind of makes sense when you consider where the economy is right now. >> certainly, i do not want to be a debbie downer. but when things are good, a crash or perhaps a correction usually is a near future. is that the case? >> i am a certified public accountant. it is my job to be a debbie downer.

whenever i look at things that are going on i'm always trying to look at what are the risks here and where should we be advising our clients? there are certainly risks out there. i do not foresee and most analysts do not foresee some type of event crash happening in 2018. but it is not out of the realm to expect a correction of 10 to 20 percent. there's a lot of factors out of our control. in the american economy.look at china for example. they just the $133 million into the economy last week. to try and shore up liquidity. their huge debt issues. china is a world second biggest economy and do you remember back in early january, 2016, the chinese market dropped by 18 percent over a few weeks for the american market dropped by eight percent. in today's numbers, that can be a 2000 point drop. china is a perfect example of something that could go wrong.

and then have an impact on race. of course then there are other international things good at war with north korea would have a big issue for us. a spike in oil prices that is not forcing to have a problem. even tax reform. right now a lot of my clients and investors are building in more profitability in 2018. because there's and hopefully a reduction in taxes with the congressional tax reform. if that does not happen in the senate in the next few weeks i think you will have a big impact on the market. all of those factors in general. a few of them we are not talking about. anything like that can happen. i just do not expect a giant drop. but a correction is not out of the realm. >> that is good! corrections i guess do happen. and they are for good reason. >> they are. i can tell you this much. when i talked to clients, unless you are an individual stock market, and you are working on the markets and i do not know you that well but i am assuming you not and neither

my. as the typical investor, you want to have a professional you are investing with. you want money and a good mutual fund, a good financial planner that can advise you. keep yourself diversified. we like to tell our clients markets go up and down. over the history of time, the stock market is really one of the best investments you can make. as long as you are in it for the long term. do not get spooked if there is a correction next year. stick with it. as long as you are diversified and have good advice, it is always a good investment. >> what do folks, we have some extra cash to invest or maybe we should they do with it? >> first of all, you can always invest in my company. i'm just kidding! don't do that. you can do is put money away, diversify your assets.give a lot of money in the markets right now, maybe want to put it somewhere else. savings rates are very low but you can diversify so. if you talk to a financial

planner, putting money into different funds. whether it is a bond, stock, s&p 500 fund, even a real estate fund. a good financial planner or a good investment manager can give you some advice we should put it. there is not one answer for everybody. i want you to talk to someone and look at diversifying. you should be in good shape. >> okay gene marks, thank you! >> thank you. >> we use the highly technical economics turn, debbie downer. i'm going to propose we liberate debbie from that term business friendly, it is pre-judicial to debbie's around the world. >> what do you suggest we replace that with? >> let's just go with jonah. everyone knows you, knows you are not one of those. >> i am down with that! >> brilliant. >> still to come, las vegas getting in on the holiday spirit. when marijuana stores are giving to customers on black friday. and earlier we said today's small business saturday.

>> analysts blame the 2008 recession. dana because it takes trees about 10 years to grow, we are not just on the effects of the farmers that closed up shop vac during this time. i think this means we will either see more fake christmas trees or we should all embrace the little charlie brown trees that are small and pathetic. >> i agree. they have tiny ones, we will take those! >> you can dress them up. >> absolutely! >> is going to be a good holiday. >> has something on my mind but it will not come out here. simples cannot wait to start celebrating christmas. how they are getting ready in the mile high city. it's resourceful.

republicans looking to kick into high gear. they are up against the clock. on top of a possible government shutdown to have tax reform. the present will have lunch with republican leadership on tuesday. at a point might be the biggest vote in congress since the president took office. melanie is live in washington with details. there is still a lot of daylight between the house and the senate on tax reform. what happens now? >> the senate will work on tax reform legislation next week. if a bill passes it will go to conference committee for house and senate members to hammer out a compromise on tax cuts. when gop house members as republicans are determined to reconcile the two bills. >> the president has exerted tremendous leadership throughout this process. he has been out front, the executive branch has done their part. now it is just a matter of us

getting together, the teacher was getting together working out differences, putting a bill in the presidents desk. >> democrats are not convinced p1 house democrats as the bill the house produced is not quote - good public policy. here is more. >> is a concentration of the wealth among the super wealthy and the poor are left out of the equation because the inevitable tax cut, this tax bill will inevitably lead to program cuts because there is an extraordinary deficit that is created by this tax cut underway both in the house and senate. >> the senate could vote on the version of tax legislation as early as thursday. >> molly, one of the top things on congress is list of things to do? >> a number of them as they go into the last four weeks. here are some of the top items.

avoid a partial government shutdown by passing a spending bill that funds the government. after the current one expires on december 8. there are also other spending bills waiting for congressional approval. in addition, tax reform, tax cuts, also immigration. funding for the presidents promised border wall. as well as how to deal with so-called dreamers. illegal immigrants brought to the us as children. the present will meet with republican democratic leaders of the house and senate tuesday. will me with a larger group of senate republicans the same day to press for his legislative agenda before the end of the year. >> a big week next week. molly, thank you. >> report in this paper says conservatives anger of the seemingly limitless investigation and conducted special counsel robert mueller is quote - white-hot. when gop lawmaker, in florida, introduced a resolution early this month calling on butler to resent you for the president and his aides said repeatedly has no intention of firing the

man. probing whether the trump campaign collude with russia to influence last years election. we have a white house columnist with us and author of the article we just reference. thank you for joining us. is there any ground to say that robert mueller should be fired or resigned? >> in my opinion i think they are not. i think there are certain things are being pumped up to suggest or to muddy the waters as far as the investigation is concerned. i'm not personally persuaded that any of those rise to the level where he needs to recuse himself from this investigation.when he was first appointed of course, he was praised pretty much across the partisan divide and had supporters of the president like former speaker newt gingrich to request the president says he himself is not an investigation but we do see published reports asserting that they are looking to whether the president tried to influence the investigation

into michael flynn for fired fbi director james comey to work this investigation and so forth. should we believe that the special counsel is building an obstruction case against the president? >> i think it is difficult james. because the whole nature of this is that it is conducted behind closed doors. we know for sure what happens when indictments are issued. now, there is speculation about what is under investigation. there are certain things that can be interpreted from particular moves. but we do not know for certain, that is why there is so much education in all directions. >> and to the calls from republicans about mr. mueller should widen the scope of his investigation to include the clintons. is there any indication that they have taken of any of these items? >> i do not think anything suggests that. they suggested they would

investigate russian collusion with the presidents campaign and any matters that arose or may arise directly from that point. so as far as we know, the things you just mentioned, do not fall within that. >> niall stanage, we thank you. >> thank you. >> listen, "time magazine" is looking to clear the air after the president claimed he quote - took a pass on an offer to be named person of the year for the second straight time. the publication tweeting the president is incorrect about how we choose the person of the year. time does not comment in our choice into a publication which is -- we have built with all of the details. >> about 40 minutes ago, actually about an hour the president tweeted that his administration is going to save and make better, the consumer financial protection bureau

which he says has been running like a disaster. mick mulvaney, the presence director of office of management and budget will now also be acting director of the cfpb, the current director until as my current director richard -- quit yesterday apparently president really do not have many compliments about him. the president is back at the winter white house tonight. believe he is on lockdown for the evening, not going anywhere. he did spend about six hours at his trump international golf club down the street today. and yesterday he was up in jupiter. and a visit to the trump national golf club there. we now have video. the president getting ready for his amazing for some, all-time great tiger woods, number one in the world dustin johnson and brad paxton joining the president. no word on who had the lowest score i might say. aside from goffin, trump has

also been tweeting every day down here. today about stimulating the local economy. quote happy small business saturday! a great day to support your local community and america's job creators by shopping locally. last night, trump tweeted out this at "time magazine" quote - "time magazine" called to say that i was probably going to be named man/person of the year like last year.you have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. as it probably is no good and took a pass. thanks anyway. and the president meeting with the bid for congressional leadership at the white house about avoiding a government shutdown next month. trump also has lunch on tuesday in washington with the gop leadership. it will be there weekly tuesday lunch appear one of the main courses will be tax cuts. of course the house has already passed the big tax cut and tax

reform bill. the senate has got one in the works. possibly could be voted on this upcoming week. remember, this is a major campaign promise by the president. he is now 10 months into his administration. so far, it has yet to happen. >> a really big week! phil, thank you. >> possible legal battle brewing washington is a president taxes on office of management and budget director to be to have a second federal agency. that move overriding the outgoing directors decision to pick a different successor. caroline shively is in washington with details. >> there is only one head of the consumer financial protection bureau. usually. but two people are claiming the title. one is been there in years and 11 calls a sick, bad joke. richard was out of the bureau until friday when he quit. and he named his chief of staff as the acting director. the dodd frank act that created the agency says it is proper

procedure. he is not billions of dollars in settlements from financial services companies for various wrongdoing. it has made him a hero of some watchdog groups and a major target republicans in the banking industry is a he has completely overstepped his mandate. english, the hand-picked successor will likely follow his lead. this is who the president has named the acting director. effective as of midnight friday night. mick mulvaney, you also keep his job as white house budget director. mulvaney was the one that called the bureau a joke. in a conference call, the white house says mick mulvaney will take a commonsense approach to leaving this death until the president can nominate a permanent director. they would then be confirmed by the senate in coming weeks. the federal vacancies at gives the president the right to do the appointment this way. the opposite of how it is laid out in dodd frank. we could be looking at a legal battle here. whichever way this shakes out could have massive implications for consumers and the financial industry. if you have a credit card, student loan, mortgage or any debt, you will be affected.

but they wondering why this is taking so long. >> it is amazing that congress is just doing this and that you have to tell members of congress you should be among the more successful members of society, not to group people with whom they work. >> the resolution should have no trouble passing but we will have to answer next week for the results. and what about allegations against other prominent figures in the media and elsewhere? >> lawmakers are not alone in this accusations. just last week, prominent news anchor and host of cbs this morning, charlie rose, was fired and also has many journalism awards and honors i have been given to him rescinded. also cbs, pbs and bloomberg terminating a contract with him. and down in alabama, the roy moore campaign plagued with sexual abuse allegation appeared but roy moore still in maintaining his innocence. he will hold a rally and monday, the first since

november 16 when reporters on hand were told they could not ask questions about the allegations. >> thank you maryann rafferty. >> reporters who cover the state department and many inside the department that have never seen a secretary of state with less of a public profile than rex tillerson. now the new york times reports efforts by the secretary to trim the ranks of career diplomats and foreign service officers. it is hurting morale among the diplomatic corps in their blaming rex tillerson and the president. neither firm has been shining into picking the department as a bloated bureaucracy these people either do not believe the us should be a world leader their utterly incompetent. as a former ambassador cutter piercing either way having 70 vacancies in essential places is a disaster waiting to happen. but a spokesman for secretary tillerson disputed all that telling the times quote - there are qualified people who are not delivering on america's diplomatic mission. it is insulting to them every

time someone comes up to them and says state department is being gutted. it is a stark clash of divergent claims as you can see. and the settlement for us is the former director of human occasions and spokesperson at the us mission to the united nations and by way of full disclosure, a former producer for foxes with whom i worked for years and who still is me a beer from election day 2000. good to see you. what you make of what is happening right now? >> first i do owe you a beer james.it has been a number of years. inflation has not been too bad so it might be a pint and 1/2. let's see. >> was happening at the state department? >> there has been every design since rex tillerson took over. it has of course, caused consternation among the ranks at the state department, they have about 30,000 employees. it is a very large organization. not as large as exxon by the way which was 70,000.

as demand is used to dealing with large many employed organizations. so this is a very huge task that he brought himself to try and push through. >> if he is successful, and the state department is much smaller than it used to be, can it still carry out the core functions of people expect of our diplomatic ranks? >> you cover the state department for years. i remember working on stories with you about the state department. much of a deep approbation about diplomats and how many ways they are the front line and in defense and the offense of line in trying to avoid a deeper conflict that can happen. they are essential. there absolutely vital to the national security. absolutely vital to the impression of the united states worldwide. they are essential. you asked a very important question. we have to get the numbers right. we have to make sure that there have been claims that rex tillerson is out to gut the

state department. let's look at what they outcome is going to be of this redesign and then take things from there. >> is one thing for the secretary to want to trim the ranks to get rid of a lot of positions he feel so duplicative. he got rid of special envoys and special ambassadors. but if you look at the new york times article says the initiation is yet to nominate a diplomat for east asia or an investor to south korea. there is no confirmed assistant secretary for near eastern affairs. as a middle east region of the state department. there is no confirmed ambassador to saudi arabia, turkey, jordan, egypt or qatar. is that part of the redesign? >> it is not. although there will be a revamping i'm not privy exactly to that point in the redesign and deliberations that are going on. we're going to want and ambassador to saudi arabia. a couple of things are at play here. there are accuracies and there

are also things are nuanced that are not included in that. in that report. one thing that is very important to bear in mind that there are several dozen appointees that are awaiting confirmation. in congress. you know having cover the state department that it is not as if you appoint someone and lo and behold next week there in there doing their job. it is a very long process of vetting that goes through. and it can take weeks or months to get a person in there. as i said, there are a couple of dozen people waiting to get that final green light to be able to take up their positions. when that happens, then you will see a balancing out of the statistics that you read a new york times article for instance. and what you saw some numbers that look like they were very large disparities but actually it is going to balance out to a large extent. >> so far we have to tap your expertise about the state department and how it works. now behold friends i will

torment you. you worked with the un ambassador nikki haley during the early part of her tenure there. it is mentioned a lot of times that she potentially could succeed rex tillerson if for some reason he would not serve out his full term as secretary of state. what you make of all that talk? >> it is not the first time have controversy between ambassadors and secretaries of state. it happened during the time of madeleine albright, during with kissinger and we have to understand things in the context of history. as a history so important james. the truth is, they both have huge jobs. nikki haley has to deal with 193 member states of the united nations for action hundred 92. 193 in the united states included. that is a big test. she has to deal with a variety of conflicts and issues that the un tackles and security council, the general assembly and other policy issues that come up.

rex tillerson is running a huge bureaucracy, 30,000+ people, to different jobs. plenty of work for both of them to do. both of them of course, attend the cabinet meetings with the president. i think you recall this. >> this week they were to get in a room with the president talking. question ambassador is subordinate to the -- >> technically speaking the top diplomat any country as a secretary of state.just like at the foreign minister and other areas. >> when you work with ambassador nikki haley, it was earlier in her tenure. diddy says that she was facing a learning curve? were you able to observe that? >> nikki haley is a very bright person. bright enough to know that there would be a learning curve when you step into a job that is not the job that you typically do. there is a massive learning curve that happens. and certainly, working in the world of foreign affairs, there is a constant learning curve.

so yes, she was smart enough to recognize that, brought on people that were quite knowledgeable and gave her the information that she needs to be able to go in and push for american policy. >> certainly, despite all this talk of collusion in russia, she is been vocal in criticizing russia on the world stage at the united nations. jonathan, thank you for stopping by. great to see you. >> great to see you two. >> terror at a mosque erupting during friday prayer. many dead and injured. that is coming up next. patrick woke up with back pain. but he has work to do. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong.

not 4500. that is what we are talking about when we say overeating. but you have tips and ways to show up to a party where you're not starving and you will eat the entire turkey and everything else left in front of you. you can eat before you join the party. >> you should always do that. people feel that you can somehow bank those calories and have a feast later by skipping breakfast or lunch but it is not that civil. the hormones that wants us to eat high calorie and high-tech food. so when we get to the party we make poor decisions. and remember, weight gain is real. >> it makes your tummy growled. >> i think of gremlin because who wants the kremlin around? >> no! you can also drink water. a lot of times, you know this and maybe they do to but many times when you're hungry, you're dehydrated. >> yes, exactly! and it makes you crave sugary things. we drink water, first of all it is a zero calories and it feels your tummy up so you're less

trump and republicans. and washington state is calling it sabotage. >> all of the negative things of the trump administration of them said since he came into office has affected the market overall. it has made it unstable and created a lot of uncertainty. that is something that health insurers do not like. >> the president did cut off cost-sharing subsidies for direct payments to insurance company is after federal judge ruled them illegal. because congress never approved them. and that is partially impacting the cost of silver plans here premiums have gone up each year since the law passed. mainly because insurers are paying out more than they are taking in. >> it is obamacare is relations that have more than doubled premiums of the last four or five years.it is the sloppy drafting of obamacare that led to the illegal cost-sharing subsidies of the obama administration that they have been spending without the authorization of congress. >> despite the often times confusing blame game, consumers are cutting through it all in
