we have charles payne, charlie gasparino, along with holmes and gary. dagen just did usual great job sub hosting on bulls and bears, ben stein at a rally, who knows. what do you think of this push and how it's changing things and may be hurting donald trump in the process? >> well, look, it's post election stress disorder, the best way i can describe it. it started with the jill stein and this recount that lasted three minutes. but for me if you just go back to wikileaks, this is the m.o. of the party. they use the media and they isolate something, which is russia, and basically what they're doing is they're going after donald trump. and it doesn't start here. it's going to start when he starts his presidency 1,460 days of driving to the hoop on the guy. and there's nothing you can do about it. day in, day out. >> all right. but they have to sway 37 electors, essentially. can they do that? >> no. i had the misfortune of interviewing miss pelosi as well. and i can tell you amazing. >> not a fan of yours either. >> no, she's not. here's the thing, neil, o

fox business senior correspondent charlie gasparino has been all over the story and in the newsroom withtest details, charlie. >> will we argue today, melissa? david: charlie. >> she threatened me with physical violence. melissa: and i will do it again. david: i will back her up. >> i say ever be smacked around will be from melissa. how is that? my pleasure. we won't go there. melissa: my goodness. >> here is what we do know. i'm hesitant to report something as fact even when i had very good read on steve mnuchin treasury secretary until he actually i see the press release in front of me. we've been reporting last couple days gary cohn is telling everybody inside goldman and friends outside he is all but likely to leave the firm, essentially out of goldman sachs as its long-time number two. precipitating thing is not his love affair for donald trump who he might work for but rather the fact he did not, doesn't seem like he will get the top job to replace lloyd blankfein anytime soon. he met with trump. we understand he had three meetings. all went exceedingly well. apparently trump reall

charlie gasparino has the story.ne in the backdoor. >> he is meeting with scaramucci. looking to sell his hedge fund business, skybridge capital, join the trump administration in some economic post. liz: right. >> hank greenberg, formerly of aig, long time chief executive of aig, runs something called the star companies. he is heavily involved in the insurance business in china. from what we understand his meeting with donald trump discussed trump's china policy. we should point out businessmen, american businessmen are really scared. people that run major companies, do significant business with china, that trump will start some sort of trade war or be at odds with chinese economic policy. hess embrace of taiwan which, sort of nullified or at least walked back a little bit the one china policy where we officially recognized main mainland china as opposed to taiwan and the chinese government has american businessmen scared. there is no businessman in america today that knows more about china, been doing business there

that's why we're bringing charlie in. mr. gasparinoone to midtown manhattan, he's at columbus circle looking for a few extra cannolis, you are here to talk about goldman? >> high-end people come to time warner circle, this is dangerous work doing it from here. we have inside goldman sachs -- it's okay, we have goldman sachs, an odd time to have a debate about business model when stock is going up, you think everything is hunky-dory, there is a debate among goldman sachs, they have partners and the ceo lloyd blankfein how to right size it. lloyd blankfein current management team without gary cohn, he's with donald trump right now, head of the national economic commission. lloyd blankfein wants to keep t the current size and structure of the firm. offices all over the country and the world. inside the company, many of the partners, most of the partners are actually advocating for a downsize of the firm from that level to something close to 20,000, and here's what they want to do, they want to get rid of the bankers and the far-flung offi

gary: charlie gasparino and megyn mcdowell. charlie, this is good. they know how to get tax cuts through, and this is good news. charlie: i think one of the best things about president-elect trump is a pro growth agenda. i always said if he got elected he would be greet potentially for the markets because he wants to cut taxes, cut regulations and bring free markets back. the real issue with trump and i think the markets because they are now factoring in the less regulation and tax cuts. he's rationalizing the spending he wants to do on infrastructure which dagen pointed out as bonds spike. rationalize that and his anti-trade record. if he goes and rear negotiates nafta those are things that are not good for the markets. gary: thinking about long-term investors and investing. is this a good thing or bad thing? >> it's a good thing if these guys, mnuchin and wilbur ross execute in the way the markets are factoring in right now. the markets are factoring in a broad-based tax reform. take the corporate tax rate down. you get money back into this country

charlie gasparino and stephen lee, lizzie mcdonald and senior editor charlie brady.oing on? is right? >> millennials. we will get there. >> they have grown up in the era of instagram and snapchat. it is right away, and why not get their products right away? neil: this internet is big. >> if you start with the internet, mo gave me this idea, set me up, it is a thing, where it started was mcdonald's. that was the first -- >> that is not -- >> do you like microwave ovens? it is a big deal, mcdonald's. people -- people use to sit down and have dinner. you know what the problem is? in real life -- now we don't even have -- liz: no. >> no instant gratification. of the 20 what do you think of this? you are worried about getting stuff for christmas, we can get it in an hour or two. you got your shopping done. liz: can come soon enough, and gratification -- you are overreacting, big deal about mcdonald's or instant gratification. >> i'm not overreacting, look at the savings rate in this country from the late 50s to the end of the 1970s. 5% -- neil: instant gratification. and

charlie gasparino joins us now on this very issue today. you think you can start to quiet some of those critiques out there? the economy improves and as market reflects the future economy. the economy is not so great. it not bad, not great if you take away the topline numbers. look at people still underemployed and wages are great. if he improves the economy the way the markets say he will, my prediction is donald trump can run a brothel out of the white house. why do i say that? i went back and it wasn't too long ago, talking about leap 1990s. 97, 98, bill clinton was reelected for a second term. he began adopting right before his reelection, many more free-market policies including welfare reform, including closing capital gains tax cut and become a much more of a new democrat as opposed to a hillary clinton democrat. he moved away from her plan to socialize medicine, through that unregulated banking instead. then the lewinsky thing happened in 1998. it was literally a year, a most exactly a year after his second term began in 97. fast-fo

we've got charlie gasparino here.ou said a chance to try the donut. >> i want you to know your staff is trained to poison you. it says here for expiration date january 03. neil: well, maybe they are looking out for my safety. he saw that. wonderful secret service agent. he said go ahead and eat it. it is january 03. he interpreted the january 3rd >> i don't think so. they usually have the month in the year. as a northeastern italian american, we grew up into things. salvador is in a combo served by nuclear blast for many years. they are like rats and cockroaches and can't survive. i'm just telling you this looks like -- he's good for january january 03. i just tasted it. >> what is going on author that you're hearing? >> speculation and idea guy. rudy giuliani is a brooklyn guy. guarantee he ate a lot. i grew up with the guy related. >> atomic food. made. >> would become a brooklyn guy who ate takes over the years, the speculation in the fbi as he is at some point going to replace comey from the controversial republic

i don't know if charlie gasparino is going to build me in the quest to dow 20k. i don't know, you want to get a prediction in, i don't know. >> i want to get it over with so it can go down again. connell: i don't know about down again. >> it's going to go down. you know, the market looks like it has an inflection point at 90+ when you're about 25 point away, that's when it starts flowing down again. the market seems to unsure. listen, we're on light volume. who knows what could happen in the last hour of trading. it might pop beyond that. i think there's a couple things going on here. number one, the markets overwhelmingly like what they're hearing out of trump, overwhelmingly, they like the tax cuts, the regulation cuts. one of the issues about the markets have with them is trade, and i think that's what's kind of preventing this thing from going higher immediately. i think any time he's talking about trade, about tariffs, about going after china, something like that. that scares traders. net net, you know, protectionism generally is not good for the market. tha

[laughter] melissa: charlie charlie gasparino -- >> they've always got scaramucci ushering people goingdid you see joe kernan going -- melissa: i'm going to pull the plug and send it over to david. david: the charlie before him. president-elect donald trump doubling down on hisunabashed comment to make americans rich. >> but to be a strong nation, we must also be a wealthy or a rich nation. but they say, mr. president-elect, it doesn't sound good when you say "rich nation." i say we have to be a rich nation if we're going to rebuild our military, if we're going to build the wall. david: what's wrong with being rich? here now is steve forbes, a rich man, also "forbes" media chairman. you know, people come here from poor countries not to stay poor, not even to stay in the middle class, but to be rich. what's wrong with that? what's wrong with being aspirational? >> not at all. abraham lincoln talked about improving your lot in life. that's the great virtue of this country. you come here, you can make something of yourself. you look at the standard of living today, despite the last 8 or 10

charlie gasparino joining us.im astray to take the election away from donald trump. >> while coming to the vet to the 1990s and bill clinton with the same type of terrorist views. stop obviously have been. we were in the middle of a constitutional crisis in 1998. go back amok at the videotape. it's pretty amazing. because more than not, it was the fiscal policies of clinton which involved the socializing medicine, lower taxes and are particularly capital gains in all reducing the size of government, paying down deficit, not raising taxes. it involves regulatory reform. all the same stuff for much of the same stuff minus one. donald trump has proposed why the markets are going up. the one thing bill clinton did that donald has the least alluded to that he while design trade. donald makes a big mistake when he starts talking protectionism. neil: and maybe they don't see it as a real possibility, but when people climb in and as always you can always have melt ups. >> it's going to trade off at some point. the fed wil

joining us now, charlie gasparino to discuss, charlie? >> you know, there is a sort of inverse reaction to this too. the reason why the stock market is going down, liz, is because the bond market is going down, because higher interest rates and what higher interest rates usually mean? is that people are going to start buying bonds in the future as opposed to stocks, to capture that yield, because, of inflation. because inflation will be dealt with and economy will slow. it will slow down. that is what the bond market is pricing in. that is why the stock market is off. this is an interesting trade going on here. i thought, for sure, liz, when she would say three rate increases, not such a great economy, i don't know how much full employment, how much more we'll get toward full employment, that would be a net positive for the market. doesn't mean she will go hog-wild with rate increases. market took sitting else, uncertainty as a negative. bonds started trading off, people think there could be inflation and higher deficits in the future whi

charlie gasparino joins me now. charlie, can it be done?ember on wall street, you covered business with me on wall street for many years, analysts, there was this theoretical chinese wall between the research department and the investment banking that analysts couldn't hump a stock to help the investment bankers to win the stock deal, right? they're supposed to be separate, because the analysts are supposed to be working independently. it never really works out. so chinese walls are easily ev his children, theoretically, will control the wiz, he will be -- the business, he will be working in the white house, but, you know, the ability of his -- i mean, the notion that he's never going to talk to his kids about what's going on -- [laughter] in various parts of the country -- trish: is a silly one, right? >> now, the question is, should we be going nuts over this like "the new york times" and everybody thinking this is the biggest, corrupt organization in the world, i would say, no. here's the thing. we elected a businessman president -- well

we have charlie gasparino with the latest from the newsroom. hi, charlie. >> this is only breaking news, if you didn't watch fox business because we've been reporting this for weeks now, and i guess now it's official because we reported a couple weeks ago on foxbusiness.com and on air that carl icahn was weighing both an official and an unofficial role. what he told us at the time when i got the tip about this, he was leaning towards unofficial role, almost 99% sure he would do unofficial role to advise trump on economic matters. that's what this is. he's going to be an unofficial adviser, an outside adviser with, i guess, a special code to the president, maybe with the president's cell phone number on it where, he's going to be talking to him and advising him on economic matters, regulatory matters. and i'll tell you what's interesting about this, in my view, you know, unlike other presidents who are afraid to appoint successful people to top jobs, afraid that somehow the notion that you came from nothing, which carl icahn did, not necessarily

up next, charlie gasparino is going to zero in on the true meaning of the so-called trump bump because, you know what? since the day after election day, these markets have been on a tear. charlie breaks it. next, we're live on the floor of the new york stock exchange. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. .tell your . . chills, muscle aches or cough. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me. see me. see me. on my way. find clear skin... and a cleare

by the way, you're saying that, gasparino is saying good point. you are on record. charlie, you are on the same page, along with ben stein. >> it might be the first time he's agreed with me. it wouldn't be the first time i agreed with him. >> the whole week, neil, he went from carrier, which i don't think is the worst thing in the world but i don't like the use of corporate welfare because taxpayers are subsidizing corporate welfare. >> and taxpayers have been doing that to keep businesses in their state. >> it never really works. new york's been the king. it's horrible. but let me put, then he went to rexnord and attacked them and tanked their stock for a little bit, then went to boeing because he didn't like -- >> well, they all see what happens. i see your point and others want to follow. i do see that. what i think is that for him to be criticized for trying to do everything in his power, let alone as a president-elect to save jobs is not a bad thing. >> listen, i don't disagree with the merits of what ben, charlie and adam are saying. >> don't give ben credit. >> we sh

to charles payne, charlie gasparino, along with ben stein and jessica. adam, kennedy at a rally right now so they couldn't join us. charles payne, do you, and i think there's a certain brilliance to this and i'm wondering if i'm layering the intentions a bit more than i should, but it has the right effect, right? >> it certainly has the right effect right now with all the names that you just mentioned. listen, here's the thing. first of all, he's taking on sacred cows of the republican party. >> right. >> i mean, the defense. we're talking about he's taking defense head-on. no one ever touched defense before. he's putting them in a harsh spotlight, a glaring spotlight, and the world is watching them negotiate with them and open. it's really putting them on their heels. ceos of boeing and lockheed stepped out of mar-a-lago -- >> the ceo of lockheed martin hardly left the scene which -- >> what happened the next day? the next tweet we're going to have boeing look into perhaps f-18 going against the f-35. lockheed martin's stock gets hit. so, yeah, you know

we also heard from charlie gasparino as well about cohn.ord, 650,000 recalls for seat belts in the lincoln mkz and the ford fusion. . neil: all right, to this day, and we're almost a month out from the election. democrats not only the president of the united states saying it's not really their fault, certainly not his fault. might be a case of a lot of people watching fox in bars across the country, but i always wondered about that. maybe it's because they're drinking because they're depressed about the economic policies in this country. i joke to make a point, no one acknowledging that maybe in the democratic party they were part of the problem, maybe a big chunk of it. to the independent women's forum sabrina schaeffer and adam smith and brad gersman on if the left is out of touch. brad, you were the last person who is out of touch. i'll ask you this, do you think the president is, not even acknowledging that his legacy he campaigned on and hillary clinton said should continue, was rejected by voters? >> i don't know that it's so much abo

ben stein along with jessica, charles payne, charlie gasparino and adam working on hangovers as we speak. well done, gentlemen. seymour, i'm going to start with you. unions are running scared, at least union bosses are, but it seems as though union households gave trump quite a boost in the election. is the split a good thing. >> i think the election of trump was very good news for many unions, public sector union probably not because trump wants to shrink the government. but when you talk about the old blue collar industrial unions, those unions are going -- that is to say the workers in those unions are going to do very well because donald trump is very much committed to bringing back the jobs of coal miners and of pipe fitters and truckers and, you know, other kinds of industrial jobs that have left the country. so i think the union leaders wanted to run in one direction and the union members that they're supposed to represent wanted to go in the other. but i think ultimately more jobs is good for unions and i don't know what they're trying about. >> all right. seiu making these massi

we were talking earlier, charlie gasparino talking about the boeing ceo talking at mar-a-lago and the lockheed martin ceo is going in now. there is the optimism there's a new attitude towards business, at the same time, this president-elect has been confrontational in dealing with certain businesses, what do you make of it? >> when we're dealing with our clients' money or we're on the show, you don't say what's the most popular thing to say. in january when energy prices were getting crushed. the math does not work for $25 a barrel oil. it was the best sector you could be in. when the fear trade was, in people were saying buy gold, gold should not be valued where it is, it's in the worst sector can you be in. the math does not work. i hope i'm wrong about this, we owe a lot of money and interest rates are going up, have to pay a higher debt. because of that the dollar is going higher. the multinationals that are driving the dollar up, they're going to make fundamentally less money, all of this is on the hope and the hype going around with the trump trade right now, that is that lower

joining us to discuss all of this senior correspondent charlie gasparino, and top banking analyst dickital markets. dick, let me get to you first. ever since steve mnuchin talked to maria bartiromo we've seen fannie and freddie stock value going up. why is that? a significant amount of money which would result in much higher stock price than it is at present time. should they be privatized? i think so. i think basically the government has got to get out of, if you will, guarantying mortgages and put housing industry more on private sector funded basis. right now appears, depending upon whose statistics you take, 70 to 80% of all mortgages in the united states tied to the u.s. government one fashion or the other. that has to stop. ashley: charlie? >> the question i have for dick, there is privatization and privatization. suppose there's a privatization as most conservatives like jeb hensarling would say if you put him on the spot, no government backstop, fannie mae's debt, freddie mac's debt is not backed up by the implicit support of the federal government. therefore they borrow at mar

charlie gasparino has an intriguing look kind of scenes of what is heard.ng. >> great interview. it was spread out the cost so he was less guarded. and not really liking that. >> confusing. pretty amazing. it also shows you don't have to kiss the sky's rear ends. hats off to you. the issue essentially was one of optics. they believe common meaning trump himself, people of the trump towers had so many conflicts with so many foreign governments that one positioned in secretary of state would oppose the confirmation issue. i think he did so much work within. neil: do you think he offered other positions? >> i don't know about that. after bridge gate who i had a long conversation with last night. i'll tell you about it later. it is very nice. he and his wife mary pat are there. neil: what you mean when the field? i was in the field for the cookoff -- kickoff. thanks to john tatum. was he your previous guests? neil: i don't know. that's a big football game. the only defeat. >> second defeat. neil: apparently they want other news here. >> the other news is i thin

charlie gasparino in newsroom has word of a possible cap net appointment, what do you have, charlie? a consideration, this is big for wall street because this is one of the major players on wall street. what sources telling fox business network is that goldman ceo -- coo, gary cohn, number two to lloyd blankfein, ceo, is being considered for energy secretary after his meeting meeh president-elect donald trump early in the week. what we understand, trump and cohn, who met on tuesday had very productive meeting at trump tower. we have some footage of him going in. there has been plenty of rumors about him being possibly the omb chief, but the other name that we're hearing they're considering is energy secretary. i'll tell you, this comes as rumors are swirling inside of goldman sachs that cohn, who has been rumored to leave for a long time. he is very unhappy being number two. he is very ambitious guy. he wants to be number one. lloyd blankfein that he surveyed a cancer scare is not leaving for some time and he is getting itchy. every time there is gary cohn story he is leaving every t

but back to charlie gasparino and these other ones, a similar meeting presumably about some of these costs that grow exponentially which is the nature of government contracts. some say cynically, too much so. but he does seem to be sending a clear message here as we're looking at the respective stocks and how they faired on the day, that business as usual won't be business as usual with me. what do you think of that? >> yeah, particularly when it comes to taxpayer money. the good side is this here, you know, donald trump was elected by people because they wanted a businessman in office. he's going out showing that he's a businessman, that he understands government contracting, he understands balance sheets, he understands what costs are, he also understands that, you know, things can get out of hand. and he's not going to stand for that. that's the good part. you know, the bad part, again, listen, i have no problem with him saving taxpayer money. i'm all for it. and i really like the fact that he's a green eye shade on costs because we're going to need that going forward, particularl

listen to charlie gasparino. a week ago, you would have known what's happening today. he flagged you the hot question today could goldman sachs president gary cohn be now the third goldman sachs alum to join donald trump's administration? charlie broke it, and now he's got more on it next on "countdown." >>> before we go to a break and we're focusing on money and the markets, but need to give you a live look at the white house where moments ago president obama ordered all flags lowered half-staff in honor of legendary former astronaut and senator john glenn and died yesterday at the age of 95. a true american hero. we'll be right back. what's with the dog-sized horse? i'm stressed trying to figure out this complex trade so i brought in my comfort pony. well, you could get support from thinkorswim's in-app chat. so you don't need a comfort pony. so what about my motivational meerkat? in-app chat on thinkorswim. only at td ameritrade. . liz: breaking news. donald trump has just now arrived and is speaking in baton rouge, louisiana at the get-out-the-vote rally, as the do
