tv   After the Bell  FOX Business  May 1, 2017 4:00pm-5:01pm EDT

4:00 pm
only on fox we made a big play in global rotational portfolio into emerging markets momentum stock. liz: great to get your ideas and concepts. gradient senior portfolio manager. one 1/2 billion in assets. [closing bell rings] liz: it's a record for the nasdaq. the nasdaq hitting the highest level ever. there is the closing bell. melissa and ashley for the closing belle. ashley: the dow losing steam in the final moments of trading. just turning negative a few moments ago. it ain't all bad. every trading day, a brand new record high. there you go. s&p also ending in the green. good afternoon, everyone, i'm ashley webster in today for david asman. melissa: good to see you. glad you could join us. i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." we have you covered on all the big market movers but first here is what else we have for you this hour. president trump is confident a vote on the new health care bill will happen within days.
4:01 pm
saying the goal of replacing obama care is within reach. more on where the bill stands right now. meanwhile, crisis averted. congress striking a deal to keep the government open, but at what cost to republicans? congressman dave brat will respond to criticism that the gop did more than compromise, they caved. the president vowing to keep the heat on north korea after another missile test. president leaving the door open for possible military action including sending more troops. for more on this coming up. ashley: markets anxious awaiting movement on health care and tax reform, aren't we all, but one sector directly affected by comments earlier. let's go straight to gerri willis at the new york stock exchange. you are watching the financials. >> that's right, ash, i absolutely am. we had big news when the president said this morning wouldn't it be a great idea to break up banks? the stocks dipped, jpmorgan, citigroup and wells fargo, but they came back strongly.
4:02 pm
not a lot of reaction. he is talking about a glass-steagall style law that would blake up consumer and investment banking. we'll develop to see what happens. the vix at a tin-year low. despite the nasdaq at record levels, investors are very happy apple with dividend buy backs tomorrow? will we hear anything about that? facebook, near all-time high. we're watching user growth as we always do. will there be any comments about facebook live? that is something we're watching, very controversial as you know. it has been an active day in the markets although not a big change but lots of action. guys back to you. ashley: another day of fun on the trading floor. gerri willis, thank you very much.
4:03 pm
melissa: oil ending a the lowest level in five weeks on concerns that rising u.s. out put would offset efforts by opec and other large oil producers to cap a global supply glut. david: markets dipping into the close. is it the calm before the storm? ahead of an imminent vote on health care and yes, again another busy week of corporate earnings. joining me gary kaltbaum, of kaltbaum capital management. steve cortes his panic 100 spokesman. both fox news contributors. gary, let me begin with you. the vix, believe it or not, kind of a fear index hit a 10-year low today, which some say is warning sign investors are just a little overconfident. what would you say?
4:04 pm
low vix means low volatility. the longer it stays down the vix, usually the correction will be a little bit tough every. i have to throw in one thing about something i believe gerri said, with donald trump talking about the banks and things like that, the president better be very, very careful, with valuations up in the trees, you start talking things like that, you don't know when you will create a crack in the market. i'm hoping he quiets down a little bit. not a smart move if you ask me. ashley: steve cortes, the president talking about financials. we still don't have health care reform, tax reform. are these things that could bring the house of cards tumbling down on the markets? >> they could. i don't believe it's a house of cards but i agree there are real risks out there mostly from washington. we look a at earnings, by the way, earnings for the most part are fantastic. ashley, i love on may day, it warms my capitalist heart some significant stocks hitting
4:05 pm
all-time highs on international socialist day. great celebration of capitalism with investments in facebook, and amazon. earnings have been great. there is a lot of optimism in the market that washington is going to get it together this summer. i personally believe that will happen. if it does i think we'll see a growth era we haven't seen since the 1980s. wow. melissa: president trump telling fox news's eric bolling there is no room for a bad health care bill under his watch. >> the one mistake i made with health care, we have one plan been going through. it has been getting better and better and better. somebody was saying people voted for trump are not getting good -- they wit get the greatest. these are the greatest people. we will have a great plan or i'm not signing it. >> steve i'm not sure i totally understood. what was the one mistake? he wasn't totally done when he brought it out or, what do you think? >> i'm not sure either. sometimes the president as much as i'm a supporter of him, he
4:06 pm
sometimes speaks in convoluted ways, even someone like me that pays so much attention to him and so staunchly supports him i'm not sure what he meant about that. but what is more important his point i will not sign a bad bill. i won't sign a bill just to get one. in my opinion the only real failure of the first 100 days was the health care failure. i don't think it is president's alone but failure belongs on the hill but nonetheless a serious misstep. he is saying we'll not have a makeup call just to sign anything to make it right. we have to have a good health care bill. all indications are that is largely agreed to. if it is, let's move on to taxes which i think is the holy grail of policy reform for 2017. melissa: gary, what do you think about that? gary cohn had said earlier this week, earlier today i think it was he thinks that we will go to the floor with the bill this week. do you think that's possible? do you also think that taxes are the holy grail? >> well, first off, if they go
4:07 pm
with a bill on health care, they better pass it. melissa: yeah. >> if it doesn't, it is done, history, out of here. i've been saying since day one, people understand, consumers understand, americans understand dollars and cents. keeping more of your earned income is tantamount to the health care as far as i'm concerned that can be secondary. you put a good package together on corporate as well as marginal tax rates, and cut the heck out of75,000 pages of tax code you will see economy unleashed. you will see it jump 1 or 2%. melissa: you are speaking the truth. ashley: do i get an amen? melissa: absolutely. ashley: gerri willis talked about that. apple set to report second-quarter earnings here on "after the bell" tomorrow. a major headline to be that they are sitting on a hoard, get this, $250 billion of cash.
4:08 pm
that is a huge pile! melissa: crazy. ashley: gary, what will it take to bring the money to the u.s.? >> as usual every government incentive will keep it out of the u.s. you have to change it. enough of fees, fines, taxes let them bring it here. apple can buy every baseball, football, soccer team and money left over to do what they want. i expect a big dividend. i'm surprised they haven't bought netflix or something like that. i'm sure they will be very active. that is a lot of cash to be holding on to. ashley: it is. steve, should some sort of waiver be put on it, look we'll pay one day 10% tax incentive to bring that cash back to the u.s. but you have to do this with the money? is that un-american or something the trump administration could look at? >> i don't think it is un-american at all. you're not forcing a company to do that. they can keep profits overseas. it is good incentives.
4:09 pm
by the way i agree with that. i have a lot of friend in the white house, people i worked on the campaign with, i am telling them just that. what we don't want to have happen, it happened on george w. bush. a policy change, tax holiday, bring it home, what do they do? financial engineering, pay dividends, buyouts. yes, you have to invest in tangible things, in people, in technology, in equipment. by the way i would offer no taxation if you do that. imagine whoo that would do to this country, how much growth would spur if we say no taxes but you literally invest not in your own stock but real tangible assets and growth in the united states. ashley: invest in ashley webster's bank account. that would be one of them. thank you very much, gentlemen. don't forget apple releases earnings tomorrow. "after the bell" will bring you all the numbers you need to know with special analysis and coverage. that is tomorrow on "after the bell." melissa: president trump reaching out to silicon valley creating a new council to establish better digital services for the federal
4:10 pm
government. oh, boy. the trump administration plans to invite tech leaders to the white house next month to help generate ideas. steve, you know, it is always interesting to see who shows up. i mean you have a company like facebook that was paying people today, you could take paid leave to go and protest and go to the pro-immigrant protests but at the same time cheryl samberg herself showed up at trump to youer to see donald trump. granted it wasn't the ceo but still, who do you think shows up to this thing? >> politics can make strange bedfellows. by the way i don't think he would win popularity contests, president trump in silicon valley but guess what? he is making silicon valley a whole lot richer, tech stocks almost on a daily basis make new all-time highs. even if they don't love him, i think they will love his policies. that is ultimately more important. by the way if you love his policies, eventually you will come around to supporting him i think politically even if you have to hold your nose while you do so.
4:11 pm
melissa: gary, tech has a lot to be made or lost on all of this. he is talking about upgrading the government. he really understands business. he has got control right now. seems like, like him or not, you would want hill on your side. there is also a he question of the h-1b visas. there are not enough tech workers, not enough programmers. they need the help in the visa arena. better to get into the game with him, no? >> i think it's twofold. a, if you're a business, it is better to be on the side of the white house than on the other side as an antagonist. also i think, as a smart businessman, any smart businessman wants to surround themselves with geniuses of industry. why you see on a daily basis all the chieftans and captains of every industry coming to the white house so they can learn a lot more about what is going on out there. whether it is coal companies all the way to tech companies. this is a win-win situation for both sides. hopefully it continues going forward.
4:12 pm
it is a smart move. melissa: all right, guys, thank you. ashley: well, netflix hack attack. the steeling giant refusing to pay ransom to protect one of its biggest hits. more fallout from that and what it means for other media giants. melissa: tensions escalating between the u.s. and north korea as both sides make new threats. how bad does this get? we'll ask one of the foremost experts on the region, gordon chang. ashley: this was the scene earlier in new york. people that don't have a job to go to i guess. chaos in union square. one major city even giving workers the day off to go join in. melissa: how nice. ashley: nice for some, right? dan henninger of "the wall street journal" editorial page will sound off. >> we're here marching, being loud and visible because we'll not go back in the shadows. we'll fight. this is the country we love and we want to make it better. ♪ predictable. the comfort in knowing where things are headed.

4:15 pm
i've spent my life planting a size-six, non-slip shoe into that door. on this side, i want my customers to relax and enjoy themselves. but these days it's phones before forks. they want wifi out here. but behind that door, i need a private connection for my business. wifi pro from comcast business. public wifi for your customers. private wifi for your business. strong and secure. good for a door. and a network. comcast business. built for security. built for business. ways wins. especially in my business. with slow internet from the phone company, you can't keep up. you're stuck, watching spinning wheels and progress bars until someone else scoops your story. switch to comcast business. with high-speed internet up to 10 gigabits per second. you wouldn't pick a slow race car. then why settle for slow internet?
4:16 pm
comcast business. built for speed. built for business. melissa: may day protests underway nationwide and across the globe. the annual demonstrations typically highlight workers rights but thousands of people filling the streets, pushback against president trump's policies, including crackdown on illegal immigration. our own jeff flock live from union park in chicago with the latest. what is the scene like there, jeff? reporter: they have marched from union park to downtown chicago as perhaps you see. we're right next to city hall right now. the streets are filled with he protesters. as perhaps you can tell, maybe by listening, there you go, like they did that on cue. perhaps you can tell from the fact we're getting instructions from the protest organizers in spanish as well as in english.
4:17 pm
there is perhaps a skew to support, supporting i support immigrant rights and opposition to the president's plans on that. marching into daley plaza as we go. melissa, if i had to characterize the crowd, not just people who hate donald trump, i think there is a lot of them, they don't like our government at all. they don't like hillary clinton. they don't like democratic mayor rahm emanuel. they think we need a radical change in government in the u.s., not just one party or the other. that is not everybody. but that is a lot of people out here as well. leave you with this picture, as the march now continues from union park in downtown chicago which was just blocks from where the first may day, big may day day protest took place, the hay market you riot. someone through a bomb in the
4:18 pm
middle that one. they're still trying to figure out on that one and they were battling for a eight-hour work day back then. $15 minimum wage, president trump's immigration policies. what a day in chicago. melissa: thank you, jeff. how about they need much smaller post. how about that switch, ashley. ashley: wait to wave my flag. dan henninger, deputy editor of "wall street journal" i'm surprised. i thought he would be out there on the streets today. he is also a fox news contributor. thank you, dan, for being here. interesting to you watch protesters with jeff flock. we saw the american flag. we saw the mexican flag. this has gone from an international day of workers, i think of may day, russia, communism, socialism. it seems to be more about president trump and his immigration policy, at least today it seems that way. >> that is the issue they have arranged themselves around today. but of course it is all about resisting trump.
4:19 pm
that is essentially means that we're seeing these, most of these demonstrations in liberal blue cities. los angeles, new york city, chicago, san francisco. ashley: new york. >> new york. the hotbed of you know the democratic party. and they're rallying cry right now is resist, resist trump. but you know, you look at a march, where is the idea of building anything? do they have any ideas? where will they try to produce something? it is all about tearing down this presidency and the republican party, at least demonstrated in liberal cities. ashley: they represent working people. immigrants in the shadows. i saw this from one protester. we will not go to work. we will not go to school. we will not buy anything. wonderful. you're not working or being productive. you will hurt businesses they rely on, their business to survive. so to me feels like they're shooting themselves in the foot. >> to my point, we have to have a constructive economy, a
4:20 pm
growing economy. increasingly with these workers demonstrations on may day, it is mostly public sector unions. ashley: right. >> there was a time areas ago it was private sector unions, a long time ago. the private sector unions know that their fortunes were completely tied to the success of their employers, whether it was the auto industry or the mining companies. these public sector unions do not think that way. they see it in terms of wealth transfers from the rest of society into public budgets and then down to them, and on to the streets. ashley: isn't the irony that the unions that they are very protesting for and union power, the ones essentially have broken the bank of many of these cities, chicago in particular? >> that, chicago is a perly good example. san francisco -- i mean there is nothing there that suggests that the demonstrators want to find a way to make the entire economy better, to raise everybody at the same time. it is all about them and their
4:21 pm
isolated problems. and increasingly the democrats, i think have got to figure out a way whether they're simply going to push a policy that singles out donald trump as main point of opposition or whether they build beyond that. that is what hillary clinton ran her campaign on at the end. simply being against trump. ashley: right. >> what is the policy behind these prohe tests? what is the policy behind hillary clinton. unless the democrats come up with an alternative beyond marching in the streets, they're going to stay in the streets. ashley: what does it achieve? i see the mexican flag there. to some people that is offensive. >> well it is, you know, building it around immigration the idea that the trump has travel ban, has sanctuary cities. ashley: illegal immigration. >> illegal immigration. people i think, average person watching these demonstrations is wondering just who are those people? why do these demonstrations turn violent? and what is the cause that they're out there marching for,
4:22 pm
other than simply overturning things? ashley: i guess we'll have to keep watching to try to find out. dan, get back to your protest. >> down to union square. can't wait. ashley: back to you, melissa. melissa: good stuff. dan is so smart. another effort to replace obamacare. is there enough votes to pass a revised health care bill this time around. congress coming up with a spending bill and avoiding a government shutdown. are republicans caving or compromising? republican dave brat is here to weigh in. >> president got a lot out of this bill, more significantly $21 billion to rebuild the military. this is a down payment on border security. this is a down payment on his ability to rebuild the military and repealing, replacing obamacare. ♪ symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension,

4:25 pm
ashley: it is a very busy week in washington, when isn't it that these days? the white house looking toe push
4:26 pm
forward key legislation. fox business as blake burman live from the white house with latest. blake? reporter: white house press secretary sean spicer said earlier this afternoon said they have two goals here at the white house this week. first, to try to get health care done as soon as possible. second to fund the government, get the deal done to fund it through the end of september. on that latter part, there is a bipartisan compromise on capitol hill among republicans and democrats for a short-term spending bill to get through the end of the fiscal year that being september. on one hand here at the white house, they're touting the fact that there are $21 million for military spending. 21 billion. that is priority for donald trump. democrats hold up the fact that no money going towards building of aborter wall. sean spicer was adamant that money would eventually end up going to the wall. >> make no mistake, the wall will be built.
4:27 pm
the president made it very clear. we have five months left in the fiscal year. we're getting 1.5 billion for border security. a lot can be helpful to that. reporter: there is the feeling, ashley, they are indeed getting closer to a bill that could end up passing the house of representatives. white house officials earlier told me they feel they're a handful of votes away. when i asked them, bus that mean two, three, five six, what is the number? they would stick to that, we're getting close, we're about a handful away. donald trump, the president, spoke with eric bolling today as part of an interview tonight on "the fox news specialists." he said on health care, quote he is doing the best i can. >> we'll have a great plan or i'm not signing it and i said from day one the best thing i can do is let obamacare die and thin come in with a plan. reporter: ashley, what we're hear something is a vote on health care could potentially happen midweek, as recall as wednesday. also this afternoon, the
4:28 pm
vice president mike pence headed to capitol hill to talk to law i cans about this issue. ashley: we heard it before. hopefully they're correct. blake, thank you so much. melissa: here is congressman dave brat, republican from virginia, a member of the budget committee and the freedom caucus. what do you think, sir? thank you for joining us. when do you think a vote will happen? >> melissa, i think wednesday, i hear rumors of wednesday. we're getting to yes. we're working hard. vice president pence came over and offered up a win-win scenario for all of us. we get a little more states rights. states want to opt out of some of the regs can do it. liberals can do liberal policy, moderates, moderate, conservatives, that sounds like a win-win. basic republican policy. i think we get there which wednesday or so. melissa: that is really interesting. give us a few more ted bigs. what else can you tell us is in there? >> it is the same we've been
4:29 pm
discussing, right? obamacare failed because it paid sole attention to coverage and not to price. so prices are going you through the roof. that is why you're in a death spiral. so on the republican side, we didn't want to make the same mistake. we're paying more attention to price at the end. obamacare is regulations. for people out there, obamacare is the regulations. if you keep all regulations, you keep the high price and your premium will double again in about three years, right? it is going up 30%. melissa: right. >> if you get rid of some regulation, right now a young person after college, they can not go buy a cheap policy. why not? because they have to satisfy some of these regulations. let them buy a cheap plan without a 10,000-dollar deductible. i think that is a win-win. that is what the american people expect. melissa: what do you see with folks on preexisting conditions, are their premiums higher? will they go into the risk pool? will you direct government mon any into the risk pool? how will we pay for those folks.
4:30 pm
>> there is a lot of misinformation there. the key piece, 5% of the folks account for 50% the health care costs in the country. so they can't get insurance in the first place. you're right on the money. we'll set up high-risk pools, number, most importantly, number two, obamacare covers preexisting conditions. we're not changing that regulation. right? melissa: yeah. >> so that stays in place. on top of that we added $120 billion for high-risk pools at the state level. another $15 billion called the maine experiment that increase coverage and reduce price. everybody, we've gone out of our way to find win-wins in economics you can do that. up on the hill it is always a zero-sum game. we can do much better. >> switching gears to the budget, congress agreed on a second bill that would fund the government. border wall construction are not included in package. some are saying he caved. then you've got chuck schumer
4:31 pm
saying it is so good that we work together. when he is complimenting you maybe a sign things have gone off the rails. give me your take on all that. >> i have a mini list. sanctuary cities, obamacare, epa, planned parenthood, doesn't fund the wall. rush limbaugh was teeing up that thing on 2:00. on the ride up here, turned him on for a minute. he is not a happy camper. where is the trump agenda? he won the presidency. we're also not dealing with the travel ban. we're fully funding that. that is a trump policy in place already. we're refunding central american immigration programs. and basically, the major trump initiatives we're not paying attention to. no money for the wall. so, it is a head-scratcher. and, the conservative base is not going to be happy. president trump is not going to be happy. the only good part this only goes through september. president trump is very good on leverage, right?
4:32 pm
he has all the secretaries, $4 trillion budget. we own the house and senate. i hate to say next time we do better this is not good enough. president trump won a major victory on fairly clear agenda. it is not embedded in the budget. melissa: congressman dave brat. you had me going on first one but now we're depressed again. >> thank you, melissa. ashley: don't be depressed. melissa: i'm kidding. ashley: smug liberal denier, samantha bee that america has a smug liberal problem. why this may actually be hurting the democratic party. melissa: plus, preparing for the worst. how the trump administration will confront the nuclear threat of north korea. >> 28,000 troops on the line. they're right there. and, so nobody is safe. we'll probably not safe over here. if he gets the long-range missiles we're not safe either. what if technology
4:33 pm
gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. there are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample. with the microsoft cloud, we can analyze the data

4:35 pm
4:36 pm
ashley: the house preparing to debate a bill tomorrow that would authorize new sanctions against north korea by the united states. this as president trump says he is preparing for the worst when it comes to dealing with the so-called hermit kingdom. joining us to weigh in on all of this is forbes columnist gordon chang. thanks very much for being here. it is interesting president trump in an interview, look he would meet with kim jong-un if
4:37 pm
the circumstances were right. do you think that could ever happen? >> anything is possible, especially with president trump who is really intent on breaking convention, willing to do things that need to be done. we have to remember the united states has its back to the wall. within four years the north koreans will be able to mate a nuke to a long-range ballistic missile and hit the lower 48 states. right now almost anything can happen. we're at a point where we haven't ever been before. ashley: they're talking about sanctions. a lot of people think, surely we have very strong sanctions already begins north korea. is that true? is china following through on its role in those sanctions? >> well the sanctions on the paper are not nearly as stiff, for instance, the sanctions imposed on iran. also, those sanctions are not being enforced by china. china has been blatantly ignoring its obligations. also the other sanctions that we really need to talk are those on chinese banks and enterprises supporting the ballistic missile
4:38 pm
program of north korea. also north korea's nuclear weapons program. they have been selling semiprocessed fissile material, all sorts of components for nukes. the united states has known about it for decades and we haven't done anything about it. some chinese banks are involved in illicit commerce of north korea. for instance the theft of $81 million from the bank of bangladesh and federal reserve bank of new york? that was probably facilitated by chinese banks because federal prosecutors think chinese middlemen orchestrated that. if chinese middlemen were there, so were chinese banks. ashley: is kim jong-un rational enough to negotiate with? >> he is rationale but i think there is so much turmoil in pyongyang. we started to see that at the end of january. he is is not in a good position to deal in good faith with the china and the united states or international community. now is not the time to talk to him directly. now is the time to coerce him. ashley: back him into a corner.
4:39 pm
>> back him into a corner where he realizes he has no choice to give up his nukes and long-range missiles. if we do that, we can talk to him. then we can have a negotiated settlement. until then talking to him will not do any good. ashley: get your feedback on this. president trump is facing backlash over white house invitation over rodrigo duterte of the philippines. we've been following his bloodily war on the drug scene and possible violations of human rights. is there any advantage gained by having this individual come to the white house with regard to the region? is there any, influence this person may hold? >> with regard to the region yes. this has been sold as part of coalition-building for north korea. philippines has really very little impact on the resolution of north korea you but it does have a critical role with the south china sea because it blocks, for instance, the chinese navy and air force surging into the western pacific where we don't want them to be.
4:40 pm
philippines is treaty ally. yes, duterte has been involved in state-sanctioned murder of drug dealers and drug addicts this is really horrific. but we already had the chinese president in mar-a-lago and there are state-sanctioned killings in china and we don't raise the subject with regard to beijing. we need to have some consistency here. ashley: we'll leave it right there, gordon, appreciate it. melissa. melissa: an historic anniversary in the war on terror. it has been six years since the daring seal team six raid that killed osama bin laden in pakistan. "fox & friends" spoke with the man who called the shots. >> frankly it was all 500,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines fighting al qaeda for a long time. we were just fortunate enough to be the guys on the compound at the time pulling the trigger. but, today is an anniversary not about the seals. today is anance versely about
4:41 pm
america. ashley: what a moment in history that was. orange is is the new hack. netflix has a major security breach. who wrote that, bravo. bracing for more deadly weather on where storms are expected to hit next. that is coming up. >> we've come together to respond to challenges like this to help our neighbors. now is the time for us texans to come together and help our fellow texans rebuild their lives.
4:42 pm
4:43 pm
4:44 pm
melissa: netflix facing a major security breach the streaming site was threadenned by a group of hackers resulting in a leak of their hit original new show, "orange is the new black." hillary vaughn has details sure rounding the hack. this is quite a story, hillary. reporter: hi, melissa. this hollywood hacker calls himself the "the dark overlord." he is targeting some of the
4:45 pm
biggest tv networks. next flicks is working with law enforcement after the cyber thief held one of it hits shows, "orange is the new black" hostage and demanded a ransom. netflix wouldn't pay off the hackers. so the episodes went online. hacker says it is netflix's fault. saying we naturally approached netflix and others in an attempt to devise a mutually beneficial arrangement where we are paid and netflix and friends don't wake up to find their hard work plastered on the internet. our proposals went unanswered so our hands have been forced. the internet bandit says it is offended none of the networks responded to its demands.
