host: we have more calls for josh mitchell of the "wall street journal." goodmorning karen caller: morning karen hey, josh. i respect the "wall street journal," and the level of excellence in reporting. that you have a consolidated effort from the rich, the 1% that all 90% of the wealth. they have a better moral understanding providing funding for the profit they are making today to a free education. how can we look to the rest of the world and see cuba is a poor country, giving a free education and producing doctors and others for free when we cannot do the same? and yet, we look down upon other systems of regimes. what is your comment? guest: i don't think there is any such thing as something for free. free,may college taxpayers will be paying for it and there is an underlying question of how do you bring down cost? someone asked earlier, is are going to be a crash like the housing sector? i always compare student debt like health care. what is happening is costs are rising and rising. i don't think there will be a crash. it will be a lot like health care

that's in part because of a big story that was broken late tonight by the "wall street journal." this story the "wall street journal" has broken tonight is something the legal experts are all telling us we should have probably expected. maybe that's true. maybe we should have guessed that this was happening behind the scenes. it doesn't feel like it. for those of us watching this presidency of late, and watching the scandal that envelops this presidency, more and more on a daily basis. this news broken by the "wall street journal," it does feel like a surprise. you see the headline there. right to the heart of the matter. manner. manafort sought deal in next trial. that means trump campaign chair paul manafort sought a deal with robert mueller. with the prosecutors at the special counsel's office who are about to put how many trial for another round of felony charges in federal court. but quote, talks broke down. to understand why, at least to the nonlawyers among us, this is such a jarring headline. just stand back and look at the legal trouble and the legal investigations that a

"wall street journal" editorial board., about the number of people support 33%, roughly, very much support him. 11% have a doubt about his persona. but they put the policies first. they say there is another 10% that emphasize his persona. they disapprove of the job performance because they don't like the way he is doing things. that is of the group that you know, on the whole supports him and doesn't hate him on the democratic side. what do you think of those numbers? >> you can parse the numbers anyway you would like. the numbers that i typically try to look at, the right track, wrong direction. at beginning of the year, the difference between the people who thought the country was on the right track and wrong direction was 25%. right now it is only 10%. so people see that our country is moving in the right direction. the president's approval ratings on the economy are plus 8%. those are the kinds of things, when people to to the polls, they're faced with the actual decision between a republican candidate who wants to kee

have a special announcement about her and the person who secured this plea deal and from the "wall street journal," breaking this story and we add another "wall street journal" breaking this story. joining us by phone, thank you for hopping on the line after this big scoop i think everyone will be talking about tonight. what do you see as import, significance of paul manafort's lawyers were discussing with mueller to negotiate a deal on the d.c. charges? >> thanks for having me. it does look like there is a little bit of chunk in the armor so to speak. i don't want to read too much into this. it is relatively common you went down to the wire and went through a very grueling trial and have another grueling trial in the next couple of weeks, you want to ex-explore for possible options to get this off the table and is there some kind of deal we can reach to handle this together and get him in front of the judge in virginia to get sentenced and get it all over with together. you mentioned and we said in the story they didn't seem to reach a deal. they are moving forward to go ahead with this washingt

the guy's a bumbling idiot -- >> "the wall street journal" interview, the president said he did it becausewondering if mueller's going to be interested in that, from the words that came out of, according to the "wall street journal," the president's own mouth. >> i don't think so. i think mueller would look at that and say, is that evidence of a federal violation? i don't think it is. i think it's poor judgment. that the president's got to say, do we have facts that indicate a violation? i don't think it does. >> okay. rick, listen. democratic senator richard blumenthal was on cnn earlier, he said he hoped this would trigger a bipartisan reaction. good luck with that. i want to play what we heard from republican senator john kennedy today, here it is. >> i think most americans look at our national intelligence expert experts -- >> a few republicans have spoken out against trump's actions. but i mean, all in all there's no bipartisanship, so much for bipartisanship. >> these guys live in the state of either fear or admiration of donald trump at all times. they will do nothing that will caus

i mean, what i was at the "wall street journal" many, many years ago, there's no comparison, but i will say one trend continues. i think a lot of reporters who i know at the "wall street journal" are probably some of the most liberal people i know. and as a reporter, in many ways that's just kind of normal. but on the editorial side, it's a whole different ballgame. i've been watching the journal, especially after the new owner came up, and i think there were some changes in the coverage. yet something has happened the last few weeks. i have a guess, an idea, but it's not really fully founded and i don't want to spread anything, especially the camera lights here. but i think, you know, i think there is some internal dynamics that are taking place. i will say something, and it's not, yes, it is, i am lobbying everybody to subscribe, what is the "chicago tribune," whether it's the "wall street journal" or anyone, people have to subscribe. the dallas morning news. >> so i had to run out for a minute so maybe somebody asked this question but what you think is going to happen in the presiden

barbara, first to you, this information just reported by "the wall street journal" that david pecker,as clearly identified in yesterday's proceeding of michael cohen's guilty plea is now, it's confirmed by "the wall street journal," he is already cooperating with the prosecutor and had already cooperated with the prosecutor before they even made that presentation yesterday, which seems to make sense when you read every part of that presentation. >> yeah. this is very significant news, i think, because i think one of the skepticisms of what michael cohen had to say is just, you know, he's talking out of his own self-interest. now to have david pecker, someone speaking against his own self-interest to have provided that information is strongly kor -- corroborative. chances are, they are documentation that supports that as well. very significant piece of news there. >> and ron, president today telling fox news something kind of vague about his knowledge of the payments when he was asked about did you know about the payments. he said later, later. we have no idea what that was supposed to

no dodgy video it's not really about what the a wall street journal headline kind of suggests that facebook is giving access to their users and then asking for the banking data of the banks and it was especially only what u.s. banks they don't know all of our banking history by now what this is about though is facebook trying to become more and more of a platform where you do all your daily dealings on banking and financial transactions honestly one of those so does want you to spend more time on the platform so they get more of your data so we would need our bank details at the end of the day wouldn't it whether or not from the banks all from us but i guess it's the point that they have to ask us and our banks exactly well interestingly we're talking about facebook messenger which is process a. that's not been talked about so much but it is one of the essential tools when it comes to product development and they already have a feature called marketplace we can purchase things and so it's only natural for facebook to try to do more with messenger and if you want to opt in on messenger was.

less than a week after paul manafort was convicted on bank and fraud charges, the "wall street journal" is reporting that paul manafort sought a deal in the next trial. those discussions took place while he was deliberating in his last one in virginia. quote, the plea talks on the second set of charges stalled over issues raised by special counsel robert mueller, one of the people said. it isn't clear what those issues

according to "the wall street journal," no deal at this point, but whether that means there cannot be any deal ever were a modified trading relationship, at this point we don't see panic or anything like that. just a modest decline. you see the dollar rallying against the peso. he doesn't even get us back to where we were around noon today on the peso. context on the size of these moves. throughout the day there is been perhaps some of baking in that we might not see a deal. theartificial nature of deadline -- the delos to get approved by congress.

reading this in the "wall street journal," i feel like michael chai, like okay, so we got him, right. >> this is all over, right? no? nothing matters anymore? john brennan was white house homeland security adviser, he ran the national counterterrorism center under george w. bush, he spent 25 years at the cia, rising to become cia director in 2013. in his capacity as director, he was directly involved, personally involved with the

let's move on now, i'm joined by bill mcgurn, main street columnist for "the wall street journal" and member of the editorial board right on time. fox news contributor, as you all are breaking this news and had to have confirmed it with "the wall street journal" and fox news confirmed as well. david packer, ceo of the "national enquirer" has agreed to in immunity deal. >> that's bad news for president trump, i agree. the real threat against donald trump is not any criminal indictment but impeachment. and that is growing more and more likely as democrats seem to lead in the polls up to the midterms and the democrats are itching to impeach him, even if as is likely now, they won't have the votes in the senate to convict. >> harris: we are getting -- sources are telling fox news directly to john roberts who was just on with me a little while ago that we have to confirm this immunity to speak with federal prosecutors, for steel at the southern district of new york. what does this mean? you talked about, it's bad news for the president but what does this mean if it does not point to anythi

in a new interview with the "wall street journal," he says "i call it the rigged witch-hunt. it's a sham and these people let it so i think it's something that had to be done. laying out very clearly where his mind is. the white house also releasing a list of nine other former and current officials in the intelligence community whose security clearance we're told is under review. critics of the president's move are calling this an enemy's list, nixonian and a dangerous press da precedent. >>> joining us now, lisa monaco, a senior national security analyst. thanks so much for being with us. so many developments overnight, including the president telling us exactly why he did revoke the security clearance of former cia director john brennan and put those nine other people on the list on double secret probation to have their security clearances revoked if they speak out again and the president says it's because they were behind the russia investigation. he says i call it the rigged witch-hunt, these people led it so i think it's something that had to be gone. retribution the pre

what this says to me when you look at both the cnn reporting and "the wall street journal," "the walleet journal" said being investigated for possible tax fraud, right, possible tax fraud. that's a big word. i don't think we should underestimate that and discount that word, the possibility of, but i think it means that michael cohen is a treasure trove. he's a treasure trove of information from the president. if you read into the reporting where it says that they're looking at whether the banks or people who were in charge of doing loans, whether they did everything that they were supposed to do as they were giving michael cohen loans, i don't know if that says anything -- >> i think -- what my assessment is, what worries the president a lot right now is not only what michael cohen knows and if he flips and were to tell all but allen weissleberg, who's been involved for 40 years, he's been subpoenaed apparently to testify before a grand jury. >> it all comes back to the president. they want information on the president. they figured that weissleberg and michael cohen are the two best

and then right now they say they're not i mean that was initially reported by the wall street journal but facebook has walked that back saying they're really just looking to take on some of the customer service offerings from the banks in tiny into facebook more directly so does that mean that facebook is going into take no no it really isn't like i said this is just kind of goes towards facebook's. focus on customer service i mean facebook right now is kind of stagnating in the western world so they're trying to find new ways to kind of deepen the engagement their customers have they want the customers not just to postpone information there but also to turn to facebook for different type of them services and while this is necessary financial tech it's really kind of focusing in on the customer service options that they're hoping will increase in gauge meant among their user base why is facebook looking to deepen the user experience experience all the user engagement why do these are mean another two billion people on facebook already well you're right there are two billion people on

this is according to "the wall street journal." fox business's deirdre bolton is live in the newsroom with the latest on this story. deirdre. >> melissa, "the wall street journal" reporting that facebook asked jpmorgan chase, wells fargo, citigroup, and for detailed information about their checking account balance and credit cards. this is part of new effort to offer new services to users. facebook released a statement. it disagreed with the reporting. this is longer estimate. a recent "wall street journal" story implies incorrectly that we're actively asking financial services companies for financial transaction data. this is not true. there is a little bit after longer statement. here is another phrase i thought was important. the idea is that messaging with a bank can be better than waiting on hold over the phone. it is completely opt-in. we are not using this information beyond enabling these types of experiences, not for advertising or anything else. analysts speculate that the long game for facebook to allow users to buy and s

that follows earlier bombshell reporting from "the wall street journal" that one of the things broidy was reportedly trying to sell to a foreign buyer was his self-proclaimed ability to make major department of justice investigations go away. he and his wife offered a gigantic multimillion dollar contract to overseas buyers. the terms of the proposed contract say he and his wife would be paid $8 million no matter what as a nonrefundable retainer if this contract were entered into. and then if they were able to get the justice department to drop this one particular major investigation within six months, broidy analyst wife would be paid $75 million on this contract. if it took them a year to get the case dropped or settled, then they would only get paid $50 million. ef presumably in addition to their $8 million nonrefundable retainer. that will case that elliott broidy and his wife were reportedly offering to make go away for those very large sums, that case that they said they could get quashed, settled, ended, that case that they were offering that contract about is one of the larges

that's what he said in "the wall street journal" interview.the rigged witch hunt and quote it had to be done. so this is going beyond retaliation for being critical of him, to these people being involved in a very serious investigation of him and his campaign. >> two sides really, right, heidi? the word used in kristen welker's report, protect. protect the information, that which is classified. any of these individuals we are unaware of any sort of situation where they have gone outside the classified space, right? taken stuff as classified and said it in the public, number one. flip side this fits in with the messaging to the base. >> it does. >> the intelligence community, not good. >> here's the thing, though, that's so interesting about the base. at the same time that the base is fired up and it speaks to the base, if you look at the numbers, more and more americans are saying that in this midterm election, they want whoever they pick to be a check on this president. so you do have this small, fervent base. but the numbers and the intensit

wall street journal reporting that sec began probe last year trying to determine whether tesla mislead investors with unrealistic numbers with model 3 car production, meanwhile tesla workers say the model 3 production is way behind schedule and employees say goal for each shift is produce 300 cars but one worker lames that was only met 3 or 4 times in the past month. cheryl: tesla looking for number two executive taking pressure off of musk. increase speculation of musk's future with the company. >> he's one of the rare ceo's who defines his company rather than the opposite therefore i think the board will do everything in its power to try and keep him in place but his conduct here looks very, very problematic. cheryl: we are going to have much more on all of the issues facing tesla coming up later on in the show. lauren: trump administration prepare to go turn up the heat on turkey over detained u.s. pastor, andrew brunson held in turkey since 2016, accused of being involved in attempted coup , now treasury secretary steven mnuchin threatening to take additional action. >> we've put s

the breaking news. >>> i do want to bring in, to weigh in on this on the auto side of this, "wall street journaler tim higgins. tim, again, the "wall street journal" reporting there is no deal between the u.s. and canada and automobiles, that's your specialty, is a big piece of this. gm's got for example a big plant in ontario. this is one of the threats and this is going to be difficult bargaining chips between the u.s. and canada and there is no deal. what do you make of that? >> it's a big deal for gm and chrysler, with a big factory across the street, across the river from detroit in windsor. what we have seen here really, a global kind of chess game as the trump administration pressures mexico, we have seen some changes there to increase the amount of components that are made in the u.s. and the vehicles that come into the u.s. we have seen that. we have seen the eu respond, show willingness to kind of, you know, lift their tariffs in that regard. so it seems to be having some effect but the question is now canada. it throws a lot more uncertainty into the automakers' planning. cheryl: inte

our colleagues at "the wall street journal" now have a story saying u.s. and chinese negotiators are drawing up map for talks to end the trade impasse which leads us into next week. to the best of your knowledge what does that map look like if what do you expect next week? >> i think there are talks that have been publicly announced next week. i think those talks are a positive sign. i think that china has a lot of reforming to do and we look forward to talking to them about a way to do that. we believe that if they do reform it will be good for us. connell: but the goal of those talks, kevin are what? they're fairly low level to be fair, right? >> in the end all deals start in the weeds and work their way up. the fact that talks are on going is a really good sign. connell: i will end on just a broader question if i might on the mack -- macro economy. >> my favorite topic. connell: larry kudlow had interesting comments on the cabinet meeting. do you think the chinese economy is struggling, gives us an upper hand in negotiations? >> larry is right about tha

"the wall street journal" is reporting this, and "the wall street journal" reports that federal prosecutorsave granted immunity to david packer, the ceo of the company that publishes the "national enquirer" in the cohen investigation. "the wall street journal" reports that packer met with them in the manner that i just described involving michael: and candidate donald trump. prosecutors are indicating that dylan howard, the chief content officer at the "national enquirer," a parent company also, will not be charged in criminal investigation of michael cohen. but the deal that everyone is talking about that is breaking news according to the journal is david packer granted immunity. your thoughts? >> lawrence: i think that bob mueller is not looking for a legal case. he's looking for building a case with congress for some sort of impeachment. he realizes he can't do it on the legal side and this is a bad move. the more they do this kind of stuff the american people will push back. it seems like they are trying to get rid of a duly elected president, whether you like him or not. >> harris: ken

we are strong supporters of the first amendment at "wall street journal."ame. i don't believe the president thinks i am the enemy of the people. it would have a more credible case -- these papers, i would like to know where they were on citizens united and the attempt to suppress the tape on mrs. clinton. union members don't like their money on political issues on pro-life clinics. where were they on those issues? >> that would be hard to keep track. 350 newspapers would participate. does this make them look any better? >> remember the power that the president has the bully pulpit. he is the president of the united states and it's 51% of republicans agree with the president that the press is out there trying to get him and is an enemy. that's troubling. republican or democrat, what bill spoke of, the constitutional provision for protection its of a free and vigorous and partisan press is absolute in a democracy to produce informed citizens. >> so important. bill you said the "wall street journal" did not participate and neither did the "new york times." the

but the conservative wall street journal refused to participate reading that the first amendment does not say that the government cannot criticize the press mr trump enjoys free speech just as media adversaries do. trump has responded to the nationwide wave of editorials saying the press is free to write and say anything it wants. but he has shown no interest in making amends. and we're joined now from chicago by james warren he's the executive editor of news got a u.s. service that writes the credibility of thousands of english language and he's also the former managing editor of the chicago tribune james thanks for being with us over three hundred fifty news outlets across the u.s. all running editorials in defense of press freedom what's your take. my take is that it's a worthy effort it's impressive good for the boston globe for trying to rouse an interest in the subject but then unfortunately it's probably a one day story that won't have much impact trump has already come out and is typical early morning counterattack tweets. branding us as involved in collusion and even getting

things and yet wages have not risen so i want to turn to a tweet that i i made reference to a wall street journal article and they were saying that the u.s. will soon spend close to twenty percent of g.d.p. on health twenty percent of g.d.p. and health i said you know what we are high deductible health insurance policy masquerading as a country is a hospital disguised as a cannot even that like a hospital at least like if you're dying they're going to fix soon they're going to like give you resuscitation and put some also some machines in you there might be some use there but this is a high deductible health insurance policy it's just a piece of paper that comes with a lot of other paper every single time you visit the doctor you get thirty forty pieces of paper to explain what happened and whether or not they going to pay and how much it could have cost them and blah blah blah but here it's just a piece of paper financialization as a piece of credit that you might possibly have so it's a high deductible health insurance policy masquerading as a country as a result of hyper financialization that

i speak for myself, by the way, not for the wall street journal. i am not sure people have fully quickly weard how have gone from a brick and mortar world i grew up in to this always-connected, always-on, always-listening world. it has been about a decade which is a very short period of time. in that time, i'm attesting to this personally, i feel like i have had the wiring of my brain shifted around. first thing in the morning i checked the phone. the last thing before i go to bed i checked the phone. when i'm trying to make pancakes i'm checking the phone. when i am not supposed to be at work i am at work. all these things which would and shocked my grandfather had him shaking his head and saying why would you want to live that way -- i want to also say i understand it has not all been bad. i understand there are many great benefits to the internet, to these devices. i know disabled people are able to interact and connect with the world in ways they never had before. all good. i am asking people to consider the downside a little more critically th

and the pennant journalist and former wall street journal correspondent joe lauria joins us live now for more on this what do you think is there any limit to how far the western powers will go to put pressure on russia. it doesn't seem to be so they keep finding new people and new companies or new things to sanction despite those nice words we heard the europeans are going along with that for the most part germany is really hard to understand why germany has a buying of americans gone along with this since it's her german interests more than anyone else is very convenient that the u.s. and the u.k. for example have very little trade with russia or business compared to germany and german businessmen have been against us from the beginning and of course merkel is trying to be a good u.s. . what can i say a good u.s. follower and a member of nato her we know that the n.s.a. has been bugging her so she wants to do what the americans want and this is really hurting her i think frankly but you know over all the reasons that were given by the surgery department for this round of sanctions w

>> so the facebook actually says that the "wall street journal" reporting overreached but i do want tof the banks. it's j.p. morgan, citi wells fargo and bank corps. according to colleagues at the "wall street journal" they say colleagues asked focolleague facebookasked for i. disagrees with the reporting. i'm going to pull up part it put out a long statement i picked two quotes.
