tv   After the Bell  FOX Business  February 23, 2017 4:00pm-5:01pm EST

4:00 pm
democrats. [closing bell rings] i want to thank ed and christie, we appreciate it. something we've not seen for three decades, 10 record closes in a row for the dow jones industrials. david and melissa with gaap earnings. david: cheryl today. >> i am back, thank you, liz. so much. the roared streak continues. david: liz is putting her head down. >> second record close. fourth day in a row. >> fifth day in a row. david: sixth straight day. impossible to keep this market down. melissa: 8th straight day. >> ninth in a row.
4:01 pm
here we are again. i'm in, for melissa francis i'm cheryl casone. lauren: i'm david asman so happen to join us on "after the bell." we have you covered on big market movers. here is what else we have for you this hour. busy day, president trump putting business front and center, meeting with heads of biggest manufacturing companies in america, talking jobs, making big news on the border adjustment tax. the biggest names in the republican party gathering at the conservative political action conference this hour, ahead of the president's big speech tomorrow. we'll take you there live. also the u.s. and mexico, of course they're at odds over immigration, the wall and nafta. secretary of state rex tillerson is down there trying to mend fences. he is wrapping up meetings in mexico city on his way back to d.c. right now. we have he details on exactly what was accomplished.
4:02 pm
cheryl: the longest streak since 1987. adam shapiro at new york stock exchange. adam. reporter: we do have record close on the dow. some of the winners today, johnson & johnson. pfizer was up today. merck was up today. they had a successful drug testing for a drug prevents a virus for people who had bone marrow transplants. after that press conference where we learned that president trump is open to the border adjustment tax. retailers are in the doghouse. you don't have to need information that tax will hit consumers. retailers very worried about that. american eagle, abercrombie & fitch. urban outfitters. in fact nordstrom started to fall. they will report any minute after the bell. nordstrom was falling on the news from the press conference
4:03 pm
as well as president coming out on that. one other thing, square hit an all-time high. we talk about jack dorsey and twitter but let's talk about something that is working. square was up something like 13 1/2%. square is that little white thing where they swipe the credit card on ipad or cell phone. cheryl: you see it everywhere in new york restaurants. it is fabulous, adam. down there at new york stock exchange. want to take a quick look at oil. oil on rising on smaller than expected build on weekly supplies. but gold, interesting story. settled at a three-month high. fed minutes did not indicate any firm resolve interest rates anytime soon. gold, 1249 and change today. david: we did make records but markets were up higher before president trump made news on taxes, telling reuters the following. quote, it could lead to a lot more jobs in the united states.
4:04 pm
i certainly support a form of tax on the border. so what is going to happen is companies are going to come back here, again this is the president. they're going to build their factories and they're going to create a lot of jobs and there is no tax, end quote. scott martin, kings view asset management. fox news contributor. veronica dagher, "wall street journal." a lot are saying just importers against the tax. first every consumer is against it once they pay 20% more for all items imported. also a lot of exporters have to import manufacturing equipment. that increases the cost for them. and let's get honest about it, it is a brand new tax. we want fewer tax, not more of them. go ahead. >> right, when consumers see price of avocados or beer, whatever favorite product goes up they will not be so happy about this, especially if they go to their favorite retailer
4:05 pm
try to buy goods and clothes and those prices are also jacked up too. it will not be a pretty scene, especially for some of those retail stocks. we've already seen pressure on those stocks. we'll continue to see pressure, especially after the president's comment today. david: scott, steve forbes says it is very simple, yes the japanese do it, europeans do it, have a value-added tax essentially what they're talking about. just because they screw their consumers doesn't mean we should do the same to our consumers right? >> yeah, david. i'm not a big fan following europe and japan these days. let's be fair nothing more i like drinking a couple of beers and eating a a couple avocados and buying a clothing. the problem with these vat taxes our economy is not exactly built that way. it is not ready for a big shock that would occur with the big border adjustment tax. things if they occur need to be graduated, leaned in over time, not a quick switch for say 2018.
4:06 pm
david: last word, they will have trouble finding republicans they need to pass this in congress, even if the president is pushing forward, a lot of resistance in congress against this, cheryl. cheryl: speaking of the white house, sean spicer wrapped the news conference and he was talking taxes on a day when the president met with big names in the manufacturing sector. blake burman was there. he is monitoring everything today at the white house and he joins us now. headlines from particular the ceo's and border tax discussion, big news this afternoon. reporter: how things can change just in an instance here at white house. let me walk you through at least the last hour 1/2 here. before the white house press briefing i was speaking with white house officials about the manufacturing meeting that happened earlier. what we were told that the border adjustment tax was talked about, and that some of the manufacturers expressed their interest in favor of this, and some of the manufacturers were against this. and everything that we had been led to believe, one of the
4:07 pm
ceos i talked to, had told me there was really no inkling from the administration one way or another about how they might be leaning. and then all of a sudden, the press briefing happened and sean spicer, the white house press secretary starts to talk up the merits of the border adjustment tax. that piqued our interest. as the briefing was happening, the reuters story interview with the president and you read some of the quotes which he talked up some potential merits of it. all of sudden, in the course of an hour here, you get a little bit of shift potentially toward the border adjustment tax. listen to sean spicer moments ago during the briefing. >> we're one of only a handful of countries that doesn't tax the imports, that gives disincentive for companies to stay in the united states, to manufacture in the united states and to hire in the united states. it it its the field against the american worker.
4:08 pm
so the president is looking attacks policy that encourages manufacturing and job creation in the united states. reporter: follow up when the reuters story he said border adjustment tax benefits workers, consumers and economy. david and cheryl, to be very clear, this was not a full throttled endorsement of the white house on the border tax adjustment, however the first step maybe we've seen in that direction. cheryl: it was a shift in tone, blake, to your point, a big shift in tone, during a speech, thank you very much. bring veronica and scott back to talk about this. here is what the white house is saying, if you manufacture in the united states, that you bring jobs back to the united states, that is better, goods are made here, sold here, no tax, good for the economy,
4:09 pm
simple idea but does it make sense, guys? >> to a degree, cheryl. i guess you go along that same line say the businesses are going to hire more workers, right, because they're making more stuff here and therefore wages are going to go up. i believe that to have a degree because competition will spark that. initially there will be a shock to the consumer that donald trump needs to think about. most importantly to blake as report, listen to ceos of manufacturing companies here on the impact to their business so he can figure out exactly what he is doing with the tax. cheryl: you know what, veronica, if i was sitting in the ceo chair, look, my stock is up, 10, 15s 20% potentially, i have a business that could benefit, i have more capital and cash, maybe it is time for me to bring things home a little bit. the only group that can really suffer, veronica, is retailers. they're the ones that told president last week please don't do this. this could be a win-lose for some companies but overall this could be better for american companies. >> potentially but to your point
4:10 pm
before, many companies bring in some of their materials to make those products, and so they would have to pay those fees. also the point about job creation. well if companies have higher costs, that job creation may not happen because their capital and their money will be tied up paying their workers and paying other costs related to the tax. so it is not such a black and white equation but i think we have to keep in mind there is so much division within the republican party on this issue, and on taxes in general, that we're going to have to wait to see actually what happens. i don't think we should get too excited either way yet. cheryl: that is a good point, david. david: i'm getting excited already. goldman sachs giving another shot, announcing that the market received quote, maximum optimism and a let-down coming. lest we not forget, two short weeks ago goldman economists were starting to worry about president trump.
4:11 pm
dow risen record after record. it is up 700 point since goldman's last warning. so, scott, i'm always skeptical of these economists, aren't you? >> david, i love these headlines to be honest. i thank goldman sachs for sparking another rally here in the next few weeks or months. look at history. look back to the rationale exuberance in the '90s. look to fears about housing market, in the early to mid 2,000s. things eventually correct. the more haters kid like to say, the more it wants to go up. david: veronica we have to give you another shot next time you're on. we have to leave it at that. a lot of breaking news. thank you for being here. cheryl: we're waiting on gap and nordstrom to all of you. new york police commissioner is telling officers not to help with federal immigration arrest, telling nation's largest police force at odds with the
4:12 pm
white house. former police officer bo dietl with his take. david: i think he is running for mayor. he says that president has done enough to be impeached s this exactly what his party want to hear? we have a fair and balanced discussion. cheryl: we'll take you live to cpac, host to the biggest names in the republican party, even bringing two unlikely people together from the trump administration, reince priebus and steve bannon. they say don't believe everything you read. david: boy, that is true. cheryl: they like each other. >> steve is very consistent and very loyal to the agenda. >> i can run a little hot on occasions. reince is indefatiguable. just like the people who own them, every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be with customer contracts, agreements to lease a space or protecting your work. legalzoom's network of attorneys can help you, every step of the way.
4:13 pm

4:16 pm
nordstrom reporting fourth quarter results. the company up more than 3% after-hours following a beat on earnings but it did miss slightly on revenue. the retailer citing record sales of $14.5 billion. continued improvements to its operating model but the trump family is not a big fan of nordstrom's, they started, they discontinued ivanka line. cheryl: her shoes and dresses are all gone. it is the largest gathering of the conservative activists in the country. the cpac conference is underway in national harbor, maryland, betsy devos and top aides to president trump, reince priebus and steve bannon all making their way there today. doug mckelway is there. big day, doug. reporter: it got bigger in part because two people we don't hear all that much from, reince priebus and steve bannon took
4:17 pm
the stage. the auditorium was absolutely packed for first time to hear them talk. this is important. priebus described the inner-workings of the inner sanctum. he gave as you window. that he and bannon share a office together. bannon says his half is the war room. priebus's other half the office has a nice cozy couch which to relax. they both get into the office at 6:30 in the morning stayed till 11:00 at night. bannon says he has an edge a bit of a temper. he said priebus, steady as she goes, even keeled guy. he says what the public sees of two of them barely scratches the surface of absolute tsunami of information comes their way, day after day, hour by hour. decisions, policy decisions have to be made. bannon often seen but seldom heard. who was often demonized by the left as being this shadowy
4:18 pm
former publisher of "breitbart," father of the alt-right movement, often accused of being anti-semitic and racist, fought back vehemently about that and fought back against the mainstream media. here is a bit of what he had to say. >> it will not get better, it will get worse every day from the media. this is why. internal logic makes sense. they're corporatists, globalists media. they're adamantly opposed, adamantly opposed -- [cheers and applause] , to a economic nationalist agenda like donald trump has. reporter: there had been some question whether this organization, cpac, which is doctrine nair conservative organization, meeting here since 1973 would be accepting after donald trump presidency. donald trump skipped the convention last year. there was some suggestion that he was not enough of a conservative. that his appearance would do nothing to benefit his campaign. now he comes back tomorrow to speak at 10:30 in the morning as
4:19 pm
the president, powerful one at that, not only controlling white house and both houses of congress, two-thirds of late legislatures and 31 governorships.ere as leader of e republican party. he talked about this whether the two can meld. here is the chairman of organization, matt schlapp. >> selection much mike pence and neil gorsuch to fill the swing spot on the supreme court. with the most conservative cabinet according to acu's analytics on the scorecards, people in congress, this is the most conservative cabinet we've seen in 50 years, you put all that together, plus all the executive action, conservatives believe this presidency getting started on the right foot. reporter: we're down in an exhibit area of the convention right now. i have been booted out of the auditorium while the secret service does a sweep in anticipation of mike penn's speech at 7:30 and the president speaks at 10:30 tomorrow. cheryl: we'll have it here on fox business.
4:20 pm
doug, thank you very much. david: joining me mercedes schlapp, former bush spokesperson and fox news contributor and i believe zoom relative to that guy moderating that panel. in fact she is the wife of matt schlapp who you just saw moderating that discussion. steve bannon, i think most people wanted to hear from him. they hear from reince, quite a bit, former head of the rnc, now the president's spokesperson but steve bannon said something about the difficulty this administration has trying to change things, trying to drain the swamp. let's play that and get your response. >> if you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight you are sadly mistaken. every day, every day it is going to be a fight. that is what i'm proudest about donald trump. all the opportunities he had to waiver off this, all the people who have come to him, oh you have to moderate. ever day in the oval office he tells reince and i, i committed this to the american people.
4:21 pm
i promised this when i ran, and i'm going to deliver on this. david: mercedes, that is a point a lot of people forget. even conservative folks who support the president's agenda who complain it is taking so long to get tax cuts through and et cetera, i have complained about tax cuts taking so long, the fact is the trump administration is up against a huge bureaucracy. that swamp wants to stay there, right? >> right. well there is two parts to it obviously. congress is slow moving element as we know. many congressional members have very different opinions, comes, for example, to tax reform. they're talking about whether they include the border adjustment tax or they don't. something that created division amongst republicans. there is this sense where training the swamp, for example, in terms of the federal bureaucracy is an incredibly difficult task. there are many of these career federal bureaucrats who oppose the president's agenda. many of them might stay in.
4:22 pm
many might decide look, i will try to undermine trump's agenda. one of the biggest issues trump administration needs to insure, the fact they move quickly putting into politicals, talking about filling 4,000 jobs across federal agencies to insure that you have those key people in place to help these cabinet secretaries and help insure that the president's agenda is being delivered. david: but the bottom line is, we're talking now, i'm sure you heard the news that president trump is speaking postively now about the border adjustment tax. we haven't cut taxes yet, and we may be in a weird position where republican administration, conservative republican administration will add a brand new tax before it cuts the existing taxes. isn't that the reverse order? >> it is quite the debate happening in congress right now. we know that the freedom caucus headed by congressman meadows is pushing back on the border adjustment tax. we know that the senate does
4:23 pm
not, will not that it is dead upon arrival -- david: why is the president, forgive me for interrupting, mercedes, why is the president promoting it as he just did to reuters? >> yeah. i find that to be a little surprising considering that he was questioning it about a month ago. this is something obviously that he must be working out with speaker ryan and the republican leadership. i think it is going to be a difficult task for them to push through congress, especially as we talked about in the senate. so, i think this is where we're seeing that this legislation, these types of legislations, even for example, obamacare replacement is difficult. it is a difficult task because of the fact that you need to insure that you have the majority of support in congress to push forward these pieces of legislation. let me tell you something, he has a independent ared window. he has the political capital now. he has to deliver on legislative agenda in the first 100 days.
4:24 pm
it is critical and he realizes time is of the essence. david: with limited amount of time i would think you focus all your attention on cutting taxes rather than adding a brand new one. that is my opinion. mercedes schlapp. >> i like your opinion. i'm with you. great to see you. david: your house is doing a great job. thanks for being here. >> thank you so much. david: cheryl? cheryl: they are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. growing outrage at town hall event across the country as republicans face tough questions about obamacare. dr. marc siegel is coming up with the right way to replace the health care law. in the room where it happens. president trump meeting with top manufacturing ceos in the white house. next we'll speak to one of the leaders in that meeting. he weighs in on what the president had to say behind closed doors.
4:25 pm
4:26 pm
4:27 pm
david: breaking news on the
4:28 pm
stock front. herbalife reporting fourth quarter results the company is down more than a percent after-hours following a slight miss on revenue but a beat on earnings. herbalife reporting record full-year volume. the company also announcing it reach ad agreement in principle with former gent venture of china's talle holding group, to be finalized in the next 60 days. >> thank you, mr. president. keith leimbach, ceo of live ops, representing the servicing industry. bring those manufacturing jobs back. >> good, we will. cheryl: promising to bring jobs back to the u.s. president trump meeting with ceos from two dozen manufacturing companies in the country. my next guest was one of the people sitting around at the roundtable. steve leimbach, from liveops. >> my pleasure. thank you. cheryl: i want to hear about the meeting and get reaction to breaking news came out of sean spicer's press briefing, seems
4:29 pm
in reuters interview with the president they're warming up to the idea of a border adjustment tax. did you hear talk about that today when you were at the white house? >> well, we talked a lot about tax reform, regulatory reform and what the workforce of the future looks like. we didn't talk about specific solutions on tax reform. cheryl: you didn't? i know some of the other ceos were in breakout sessions but you were talking about jobs and bringing back. let me ask you about that then. do you think that the message on jobs was we'll received on both sides? do you think that the voices were heard from the ceos? do you think the president got his message across that all of you in this room need to create jobs and now? >> this was a great discussion with the president that is very interested in how it is that we create jobs, how we bring jobs back, not just manufacturing jobs but services jobs as well. there is 14 million services jobs have been outsourced over the years.
4:30 pm
there are seven million unemployed americans and 91 million americans not part of the workforce. so i think that is huge opportunity to bring work back to america. cheryl: say it is call centers in india, those jobs come back to the united states. it is electronics manufacturing jobs in malaysia, those come back to the united states. how realistic is that in your opinion, in particular if we are talking about this border tax? >> well i think it is very realistic and the reason is, if you think of services jobs, someone needs computer and headset and landline, they can be working in a call center environment. we provide call center work from home solutions. we employ only americans. it is u.s. based opportunity. we think there is tremendous opportunity. cheryl: i like your company. you're reaching out to those lost workers, particularly stay at home mothers that stay at home several years, veterans, people would like to get back into the workforce. i obviously like that message but let me ask you this, what was your biggest takeaway when you walked out of the
4:31 pm
white house today? >> well for sure, this is a president that's listening. this is a white house where we're talking the language of business. we're seeing a lot happen. there is lots of debate whether it is good or bad from different perspectives but there is a lot happening. this is a president very much listening to what needs to happen in order to continue to increase jobs and bring jobs home. cheryl: keith leimbach, ceo of liveops at the white house today. keith, thank you. >> nice talking to you. david: nice to get a fly on the wall in that moating. cheryl: he was right there. david: has the left gone too far? criticizing the president is one thing but some democrats are already taking it to a very risky level, talking about impeachment. special edition. this is one gorgeous truck. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actually there's 5. aaaahh!! ooohh!! uh! holy mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style.

4:34 pm
4:35 pm
♪ david: so many songs about getting higher. 10 in a row, the dow closing at a brand new record high for the 10th straight day, keeping this record streak alive. this is the longest streak since 1987. that's what we said yesterday. now we have double digits. s&p 500 also ending the day in the green. cheryl. cheryl: we have breaking news right now. two of president trump's top cabinet members are about to leave mexico following a crucial visit to that country. secretary of state rex tillerson and homeland security secretary john kelly met with mexican
4:36 pm
officials to try to ease growing tensions between the u.s. and mexico. >> we also reiterated our joint commitment maintaining law and order along our shared bored, stopping potential terrorists and dismantling the transnational criminal networks moving drugs and people into the united states. there is no mistaking that the rule of law matters along both sides of our border. cheryl: secretary tillerson went on to pledge no mass deportations following conversations with officials there. david? david: as the administration working hard to get stuff done, the democrats are putting up all the roadblocks they possibly can. the possible new leader of the democratic party even throwing out the possibility of impeachment. take a listen. >> i think that he, donald trump has already done a number about things which legitimately raise the question of impeachment. david: here now is gianno caldwell, red alert politics, senior contributor, capri
4:37 pm
cafaro, former ohio senate minority leader. good to see you both. do you feel comfortable, with the possible head of the dnc talking impeachment right now? >> i understand he is trying to throw red meat at the base. the number of people that actually elect the chair of national democratic committee are insiders of insiders, 450 people sitting in this room in atlanta just in about 48 hours. you know, i get what he is saying about the emolument clause and best way we get donald trump out of the white house, or republicans out of power is actually having a message, something cohesive. david: i take that as a no, capri. i don't mean to force the issue i don't think you're comfortable -- >> i'm not a huge keith ellison fan. david: gianno a reason capri is not alone. this guy worked for the nation of islam. he was a supporter of louis farrakhan. he spoke very highly of louis
4:38 pm
farrakhan in the mid 1990s. louis farrakhan nation of islam, that white folks are devils and jewish religion is gutter religion. that is their words. that is louis farrakhan. this guy was saying is a terrific guy. what will it mean for the dnc to have something like that as their head. cheryl: first and foremost thanks for putting me on with a honest democrat. >> thanks. cheryl: i completely agree with your assessment. david: she is very lovely. >> what i believe about keith, he is spreading fake news. this is what is impeachable offense by president trump, people coming to president trump's hotels or rather what his son's hotels because they were covering a business, saying that is what would cause him to be impeached. absolutely not true. and for a number about reasons. in addition to that fact, he turn down a 2 billion-dollar business deal in dubai. they continue push -- david: i didn't know that. >> he did. this was real opportunity, a
4:39 pm
hotel, maybe a earned $100,000 or whatever the case was for that weekend but you're turning down a $2 billion business deal shows what you're willing to do as president. david: capri, i want to focus again on a guy who would support people that believe white folks are devils and, in fact the democratic party really needs white voters right now. they lost a lot of them in the last election. i don't think you will get a lot of white voters if the dnc is headed by a guy believes or at least defends somebody that believes whites are devils? >> this, somewhat of this question came up yesterday in the cnn dnc debate where the moderators asked keith ellison whether or not the allegations of him being anti-semitic were indeed accurate and he really did dance around it. i was saying earlier, if we want to be successful, most important thing we can do have a clear vision, i wrote about this in my piece up in the "washington examiner" today
4:40 pm
about yesterday's debate. we need a clear vision, clear message. we need to reclaim the economic message and values that donald trump took from the democratic party. we need to bring that out to all americans, regardless of gender, color, sexual orientation, we're all in this together. david: as a final point of order here, in 1997, quoting keith ellison, minister farrakhan, talking about louis farrakhan is not a racist. he is not a anti-semite. minister farrakhan is tireless public servant of black people. he has to deal with the record. the record exists. >> he is not running away from the record either. david: he can't. he can't. >> he is not trying to. cheryl: we have breaking news right now. gap just out with their first quarter results. climbing slightly after hours following a beat on revenue and earnings in line with estimates. the retail giant posting first quarter profits up nearly 3%, another company, david, to watch
4:41 pm
as we discuss the border tax issue. david: yeah, big retailer. defying orders, latest message from a police commissioner letting illegal immigration slide, bo dietl, former nypd detective coming up on that. the future of obamacare, angry protesters flooding town halls. dr. marc siegel joining us on that next. so tell us your big idea for getting the whole country booking on choice hotels.com. four words, badda book. badda boom... let it sink in. shouldn't we say we have the lowest price? nope, badda book. badda boom. have you ever stayed with choice hotels? like at a comfort inn? yep. free waffles, can't go wrong. i like it. promote that guy. get the lowest price on our rooms,

4:44 pm
[shouting] >> you work for us. cheryl: anger over obamacare. crowdses flooding to inhalls to protest president trump's plan to replace the signature health care law. [shouting] >> aca! >> take a couple more comments or questions about health care. [shouting] >> everyone in this room has
4:45 pm
been hurt or helped -- [shouting] cheryl: that was a town hall in arkansas for senator tom cotton. dr. marc siegel, medical correspondent and professor of medicine at nyu. a lot of anger at that town hall. and those participant say they want to keep obamacare. but, the administration says, it is going to go. >> americans are very mixed on this, 40 to 45% want to keep it. the other 50, to 55% want it to go. if it helped you might want to keep it, but on the other hand i said many times, i am not alone. it is cumbersome, clunky, ex-extremely expensive and premiums are soaring and not working in a doctor's office and we have physician shortage. the problem is how to repeal it. cheryl: i want to get your take, we had heard from, from former house speaker john boehner and i want to read you this because he said, basically that a full
4:46 pm
repeal and replacement of obamacare is quote, not going to happen. so that is what he said. but then, in response to what boehner said, that you're seeing right there, sean spicer this afternoon, actually responded to a question along the same vain. listen to what sean spicer said in response to boehner. >> i think what we're going to end up with is something i talked about over and over again. we'll end up with a more accessible plan that will allow people to see more doctors, have more providers and drive costs down. cheryl: that is the white house's response to this criticism, and john boehner saying, don't do this. >> i agree with sean spicer on this because we can see a future, where there are health savings accounts. where you know what you're buying. price transparency. insurance goes back what it was intended for, to cover catastrophic hospitalization, emergency room visits. if you want more bells and whistles you buy more bells and whistles. not everybody has a huge policy covering all preventative
4:47 pm
