4:02 pm
nicole: comes as no surprise as we have the russell rebalance here, thousands of stocks that were revaluated and that brings heavy volume. one-time event, once per year, they have been preparing for this for weeks and you saw the big dramatic selloff. in fact, highest point we were up 200 points and look at this, now we are up 118. so we saw heavy volume right at the close and major selling that occurred, you can really see it in chart, you can see right there the dramatic dropoff. as we have noted the dow is down 8 days today, moved higher for the first time after 8 days, over 800 points during 8 days but we got some of it back, here is a look at dow leaders today, mcdonalds, dow dupont, chevron, a lot of energy names are there for today as we talk about energy that was one group that really surged on opec news. the markets this week, though, were to the downside, we were clocking in for the dow for one
4:03 pm
of the worst weeks in months in three months, you see the dow did drop twofold percentage points for this week, the s&p and the nasdaq, a little less than 1% each. the automakers came, look at this, you see mixed bag, they did have volatile day and this was on president trump's tweet about possible tariffs. this is something we have talked on fox business, the trade wars, tariffs, this jars the market and today was one set of news that he said he would do 20% of tariffs on automobiles coming in from the european union if the trading barriers were not lifted and we saw our stocks moving wit and carm ax x -- carmax hit high and we good a good month of june but today was wild. melissa: nicole, thank you. david: take a look at oil spiking after meet in vienna and up nearly 6% for the week,
4:04 pm
cristina has the details from the news room. they will increase output but not as much as expected? >> precisely, you saw it hit a little over $70 a barrel. the headline they will come down to 600,000. not all countries can actually put forward a million barrels per day. that contributed to the rally we saw today. opec as reminder a group of 14 nations and what they do essentially is they work on policies, petroleum policies and they try to sway productions. you are seeing on the map the countries that are involved in it, russia is trying to push to have a larger group and be part of it, so there's a lot of politics that are involved and leading up to this meeting over the past week or so, we have seen the price of oil climb higher because some oil traders have said and i reached out to them that they were expecting the worst of the meeting because
4:05 pm
iran we wanted to see the oil production down, saudi arabia we wanted to see it up even though saudi arabia wasn't always like that. there's a lot of politics involved, however, the price is still not what you've seen over the past 5 years when we hit on the left screen, green point, almost 120-barrels, the sweet spot according to many traders between 60 and $80 a barrel. again, why are we seeing this rally with all the energy stocks in the screen right now? output production was lower than expected, demand across the globe is extremely strong and americas love suv's and economies are doing well and there was one comment and analyst this morning that said could also be there's overcorrection for the price of oil. so dropped quite low and now coming higher. david because tomorrow i'm going on vacation and driving a lot all over the country and they had to raise just for my trip. >> average price of gas is 2.87
4:06 pm
and expectation it's going to climb higher especially before july 4th which is the middle of the week so that weekend. david: july 4th week. cristina, happy friday. melissa. melissa: fox base contributor carol and jack howe. phil, i want to go to you first, it's interesting they talk about putting more production on the market but really i think the driver out of that was the demand figure, i mean, it just seems like the economy is growing, that's what they care about. it really is, that's the problem opec has right now. let's say they wowed the market and they were able to lower prices, what's that's going to do do demand, it's going to go up even higher, they are really behind the 8 ball right now and getting a lot of pressure in the trump administration to do something about high prices. you can see how hand strong they
4:07 pm
are right now. a year ago we were talking about a glut and prices might never trade about $50 a barrel and now potential oil shortage that could hit before the end of this year. melissa: carol, what's your take? >> this is my least favorite game, what the cartels are going to be doing. it's one of those things that make it so difficult because oil is obviously very important to the consumer and i think we are in a goldilocks' situation, we have seen the price much lower and much higher, in a good place for businesses to be able to manage it but not be so high that it will have impact on consumer and i think that's what the markets reacted today. melissa: jack, i went to many opec meetings, i covered opec forever, they are the worst run cartels, they are cheaters, it's their main source of revenue.
4:08 pm
>> ly not standby while you disparage the good name of opec. [laughter] melissa: i mean, they a lot of fun, great time on the road. >> higher oil prices spell real travel for petro, poorly-run petro economies, u.s. is going to produce more oil and invest in more pipeline and become more efficient in how we use it. this is not high enough oil price to really pinch most american consumers, most of them are getting benefits of tax cuts this year. melissa: very true. thanks, guys, go ahead, david. david: tingses are rising, -- tensions are rising, president trump threatens new tariffs on european karim -- car import. >> today is the first day of the
4:09 pm
european union started collecting tariffs on $3.2 billion worth of u.s. products. now that's not a big number compare today other retaliation tariffs out there but the eu tried to really direct those or target those tariffs at president trump's base. a number of the items, motorcycles, agriculture, orange juice, peanut butter, steel and aluminum tariffs, in response to this, president trump sent out tweet saying he's not going to back down. that tweet read based on the tariffs and the trade barriers long placed on u.s. and great companies and workers by the european union f these tariffs and barriers are not soon broken down, we will be replacing tariff on all of their cars coming into the u.s., build them here. now the president's economic advisers say that the automobile industry sort of highlight it is problem where the other countries believe that unfair trade practices are normal. >> the europeans have a 10%
4:10 pm
tariff on our automobiles which was in place before president trump did anything and they are harmful to american workers and president trump's position is just enough, enough. >> and at the g7 the president said he would love to see zero tariffs. india is going to put retaliation tariffs on the u.s. on august 4th on 29 products, we know about méxico, canada, china is not changing practices, in fact, they said they are going put qualitative and quantitative countermeasures or consequences on the united states but not exact i will saying what those are. the administration here is using these tariffs to try and level the playing field with trade. david. david: quantitative and qualitative as if quantitative wasn't enough. thank you very much. our panel is back, carol, on wednesday we get word of this tremendous decision, or at least proposal from germany because of our new ambassador rick to lower tariffs to zero across the board from europe to europe and then today we get this trump tweet
4:11 pm
about possible 20% tariff on cars. how is all of this going to end? >> keeping -- david: go ahead, carol. >> i'm certainly hoping that it ends well and i'm hoping that it ends quickly, i appreciate the sentiment and think that it's important however it is at a really bad time because we have done so much good here with economic policy in helping companies, you know, really have that potential for growth and to stunt that by creating uncertainty and having business leaders not sure if they should make capital invest mines because of trade wars, that's something as we look to the next quarter and we get guidance could be a tremendous issue include actually slow the economy. david: jack, it's my opinion, it's just an opinion, it's based on some of negotiating tactic that is we have seen before that president trump would like to see zero tariffs, no tariffs on our cars, no tariff on german cars because that's good for the consumer and good for our
4:12 pm
producers and all of this 20% business is just a negotiating tactic. what do you think? >> the problem is he views his tariffs as restoring fairness, then when you have retaliation he says that gets specout of fairness and we need to retaliate and you get tit for tat tariffs, this is biggest threat to long-bull stock market and economic expansion right now. the numbers so far aren't large enough to do much damage. but investors begin extrapolating layer after layer it could create problems for investors. i actually think right now is an excellent time to buy defensive shares preparing for something like that. david: phil, some people are buying stocks in general on the basis of the fact that essentially they'll be a deal and rather than hiking tariffs we will see tariffs go down all the germany deal. >> a lot of traders think it's negotiating tactic and get a deal done and you mentioned manufacturing today. i thought that was fascinating.
4:13 pm
we got a report from u.s. manufacturers, their confidence is at highest level ever. in europe it's absolutely the opposite. they are getting less confident. maybe the trade war is giving manufacturers -- david david by the way, we don't even want to talk about china, what's happening there. they are in deep dog doo over there. phil, carol, jack, have a great weekend, thank you very much for being here. melissa: china zte has now paid a 1 billion-dollar fine. this is according to u.s. commerce department official, the 400 million-dollar escrow payment should be completed within the upcoming days as well. david: it's been six months since tax cuts were passed into law and democrats are railing against them again arguing none of the promises republicans made are coming to fruition, we will
4:14 pm
discuss. melissa: details of new proposal from the white house. david: president trump shining the light on participants who is children have been killed by illegal immigrants. this is house republicans on immigration bill pushing vote next week, live on the white house on what will happen together. >> we are gathered today to hear from american victims of illegal immigration. you hear the other side, you never hear this side. you don't know what's going on. these are the american citizens, permanently separated from their loved ones ♪

david: president trump honoring the lives of those lost at the hands of illegal immigrants as gop leaders delay the vote to
4:18 pm
come to a decision on an immigration bill. blake berman is at the white house with the latest, blake that was a very tough meeting that the president had today. >> it was, indeed, david, some within the white house have argued that this is the kind of story that needs to be told repeatedly and all across this country that is that there's a different kind of family separation that's unfortunately taking place. that being families that have been separated from their loved ones, their husbands, wives, brothers, daughters, children because of deaths killed by illegal immigrants, to that and the president met with angel families, parents describing detailing the loss of trying to bear -- bury their own children. >> no major networks sent cameras to homes or displayed images of incredible loved ones across the nightly news. they don't do that. >> we were lucky enough to be --
4:19 pm
we are aren't lucky that we are separated for 5 days, we are separated permanently. >> stops administration's zero tolerance policy. democrats continuing to contend today that is it's the president and republicans who are trying to use the children in this equation as political bargaining chip. >> he's taking infant children hostage wrenching them from the arms of their parents, traumatizing them perhaps for life for the purposes of forcing us apparently to make an agreement that we think is bad. >> despite pushing for change, the president actually recommend today republicans today that they should put a pause on this immigration debate. he tweeted out earlier this morning the following writing,
4:20 pm
quote, republicans should stop wasting time on immigration until after we elect more senators and congressmen and women in november, dems are playing games. have no intention of doing in to solve decade-old problem, we can pass great legislation after the red wave. however republican leadership, david, clearly not listening to that because the number two in the house kevin mccarthy announcing today that come next week, republicans will take up on the house floor the compromise bill, of course, that's a bill that was delayed this week and the big question going into next week is do republicans have the numbers or not. keep in mind, democrats are not going to provide a single vote on that one. david. david: one thing is clear that the angel parents today in the white house were not playing any games at all. that was the real truth. blake, thank you very much, appreciate it. melissa. melissa: here to react brad blakeman, former bush 43 senior staffer, what do you think about how this is playing out right now? what happens from here? >> i think it's important for the american people to
4:21 pm
understand that they have been victimized by illegal immigration and in some instances ways in which with never been repaid or the clock turned back to bring their family members back home. so immigration has been a problem since our inception, we've had never secure borders, even under president obama who ran on immigration reform was never done even when democrats had the power. i disagree with the president. i think republicans on our watch, while we have the power to do it, we need to fix it and we need to fix it right and not fix it for today, we need to fix it for the future, for every american and also to be fair for those who want to come here. melissa: nobody wants to see suffering children, you know, without question and those pictures are, you know, break your heart in the same way these parents break your heart and it shouldn't be contest of who is worst off of this point but you to question some of the images that you're seeing, for example, we talk about separating the
4:22 pm
parents and the children, the lieutenant governor from texas explained that it's not always what it appears and he knows firsthand. this is what he said. >> of these children and teenagers that we are talking about, over 70% came here on their own, about 40,000 this year, by themselves and you just cannot -- i have been on the border many times. you can't accept that these are the real parents, the drug cartels control the border, they make as much money or as much in smuggling people as much as drugs, they will send families in and extort money from them. they will send families in to take up a lot of border patrol and then they smuggle the drugs in the other direction or the other people who are paying them more. so right now the drug cartels are looking at america and they are laughing. the president is right on this. no one wants to separate the kids but he was following the law, obama did the same thing. we know all that now and that's in the past. we need to move forward. melissa: what's your reaction? >> we need to fix that which is
4:23 pm
broken, that's government's charge, government is supposed to prevent harm and not merely respond to it and not get caught in news cycle. this needs to be done. it's not a want, it's a need, congress has the power, the president has the pen, they should get together and this -- they should not wait for midterms, midterms is too late. we can get through the house if necessary then go nuclear in the senate by 51 vote instead of 60. melissa: you talk about getting through the house and i was talking to one of the house lawmakers earlier today and he said the thing that was missing from the current bill is e-verify, that would be in his opinion the thing that would get the last couple of holdouts over the line but a lot of people in the business community don't want it because it means that you have to verify all of your workers. they don't want to deal with expense and they don't want to deal with the reality, what do you think about that? >> look, it's responsibility that they need to bear, the same withholding taxes and they have to be responsible for government to their employees, this is an added step, it's reasonable,
4:24 pm
it's necessary, it's in our national security interest and economic interest. it may be a burden on them but a burden worth, the imposition on business and it's not going to mean any other or undo expense on their part beyond which they should bear as a responsible business. melissa: right, they have to hire legal people. brad blakeman, thank you for your insight. >> pleasure. david: that one mother who held up the urn with the remains of her child, i mean, that was one heck of a press conference. it was very hard. you saw the president running afterwards. i think it affected him emotionally. meanwhile don't judge a book by it's cover, the truth behind the photo -- have you heard about this? talk about outrageous. deadline for rod rosenstein to hand over unredacted documents, what's the political fallout if

they don't bill mcgurn, wall street journal columnist is here to sound off coming next. >> paul made it very clear there's going to be action on the floor of the house this week if the fbi and doj do not comply with our subpoena requests. how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we're changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning today. book now at lq.com. . man: i got scar tissue there.

. >> i support making sure we get the documents we rightly deserve, that we legitimately requested. we expect compliance. they could have spared the country a whole bunch of drama if they would have complied to the document requests months ago when they were made in the first place. david: house speaker paul ryan will hold the d.o.j. accountable if they don't hand over documents unredacted about the russia and hillary clinton e-mail probes by today's deadline. the d.o.j. telling fox business the process is under way. my next guest has an op-ed in the "wall street journal" saying if deputy a.g. rod
4:29 pm
rosenstein doesn't deliver, time for him to be impeached. bill mcgurn, powerful piece, what's the latest you heard? >> the latest from chairman nunes's committee, they are still waiting. expect a letter from the d.o.j. today, but they don't know if it's going to give them what they're looking for or ask for more time. >> i suspect what they receive will be something but won't be sufficient, it will either be incomplete or fully redacted? >> right, i think the speaker is reflecting the frustration within congress how the fbi and justice have just not complied with legitimate congressional subpoenas. david: what's extraordinary is what we found out this week from the inspector general horowitz. all kind of stuff that rod rosenstein hadn't been giving. congress had been asking for more information from peter strzok and lisa page, which we got from horowitz, not rosenstein by horowitz and a
4:30 pm
lot of information about other people and agents at the fbi so anti-trump that they were trying to influence the election. >> right, there's two issue, one is the issue what happened in the investigation. what they're trying to find out in the russia investigation, what really started it? we know official start day of july 31st, looks like a lot of action with fbi informants beforehand. how can we make any evaluation before we know what started this investigation? the other is more broadly getting back to the proper separation of powers. congress is a separate and co equal branch of government. i didn't just say impeachment. contempt. jailing someone -- david: you went pretty far. >> the advantage is that's totally within congress' power. if you make a criminal referral, you have to rely on the d.o.j. if you make a civil referral -- >> that's why law enforcement agencies, as wonderful as they are and a lot of them put their
4:31 pm
lives on the line every single day, you have to have oversight otherwise you have a law enforcement agency, in this case, the fbi, operating on its own and if they have political interests, using the power of that agency. >> i think we sometimes forget that the elected parts of government are there to keep track of the unelected parts of government. not the other way around. david: quickly, alan dershowitz, didn't go so far as to say he shouldn't be impeached but did have comments about what should happen to rod rosenstein, take a listen. >> i don't think they can make him resign. look, he should be recused. no doubt about that, to the extent the investigation involves all the firing of comey and he was involved in the firing of comey, he shouldn't be in the investigation at all. david: so the other thing we found out from horowitz's report is james comey, former head of the fbi is now being investigated some way, some form, didn't go into details, wouldn't be proper, since he's
4:32 pm
part of the investigation, rod rosenstein shouldn't be part of it at all? >> completely separate issue. he's a witness in this case. it's amazing he has not recused himself. look, it comes down to. this congress has been demanding and threatening, and unless they follow through with action, they'll continue to be treated badly by the departments. david: finally only 15 seconds. what congress wants now specifically is information about the fbi informant or informants, we're hearing about more -- >> at least on the house intel committee. the judiciary and oversight may have their own issues. david: democrats were pooh-poohing the idea there was an aspiring informant, and maybe more than one. >> right, and look, the primary accountability is to the american people via their elected representatives. david: bill mcgurn, "wall street journal," have a great weekend. >> thank you, you, too. melissa: the "roseanne" reboot is back, following controversy over its star.

. melissa: not backing down, house democrats slamming tax cuts as lawmakers mark the six-month anniversary of the law. >> republicans passed a hastily written tax law that added $1.8 trillion to the deficit. >> the lack of fairness in the republican tax scam. lack of openness in the process which they wrote the bill. >> six months after enactment, none of the promises that republicans made are coming to fruition. melissa: here now is ford o'connell, civics forum pact chairman and republican strategist. what to you think? does this rhetoric sell? >> well, look, the democrats don't care about people keeping more of their money, they don't care if the job market is booming. 2018 midterm strategy is to hate trump at every turn, not just on tax cuts. we see it on north korea, immigration, you name it, listen to nancy pelosi's rants. and essentially what they're
4:38 pm
trying to do is fire up the base so everything including the kitchen sink at the wall thinking everything works. melissa: it's hard to trash talk money, hard to talk down money and say gosh, you must hate that money you're getting. >> look, you're absolutely right. every politician will tell you generally when the economy is good, you re-elect the same people. this is personal for the democrats. they want to short circuit the trump administration and don't care what means they use to do it. melissa: there is the chance that everything we're seeing, these are all the workers that have been benefitting from tax reform from all of these different companies. you can see there on the screen, it's a number of people that you would be trash talking money to, if that actually worked. but the tariffs as we see higher oil prices as we have, it could eat away at that money, is that a risk? >> everything is a risk in politics. we don't know what's going to happen six months from today,
4:39 pm
when we have the midterm elections. but i will say this, if the republicans do indeed hold their majorities in the house and the senate, it will be primarily due to the economic optimism that is gripping this country, which is a direct result of the trump administration's deregulation and the tax cuts. it's that simple. melissa: do you think some of the negative images in the way the narrative turned back to immigration and you know the separation of families does, that overshadow the economic message? >> it does overshadow the economic message but understand something else, the immigration, there is no issue that fires up the republican base more than immigration. immigration plus the economic message is great. here's what the administration has to do. they have to flip the optices and turn it into a security issue because if it's framed as a security issue, guess what? independents agree with republicans and that's what the trump administration should do if they want to make sure they hold both houses of congress. melissa: they brought out the

. david: folks, here is the cover seen around the world now debunked. the father of the little girl that was featured on this week's "time" magazine cover telling the daily mail that she was never separated from her mother. very different narrative implied by the picture featured on the cover were what the editors wanted you to perceive. joining me is howie kurtz, "mediabuzz" host and fox news media analyst. howie, this is propaganda pure and simple, not factual-based
4:51 pm
journalism. narrative that is meant by the coverage. this is a little girl one of the separated from the parents and it's just not so. don't we deserve an apology from the editors of "time" for this? >> well, it's the latest in a series of anti-trump covers on "time" magazine, "time" making no effort to hide outright disdain. david: this is a lie, one thing to have anti-trump. this is portraying something that's not true. >> okay, i could make the case that at the time the magazine went to press, everybody in the press believed this picture of the two-year-old honduran girl was iconic, taken by a pulitzer prize-winning photographer, thought she was separated. but the fact that it's been revealed, no longer dispute about it and "time" saying we stand by it because it's a metaphor, that's why people hate the media. own the mistake, if we had known, and we are sorry, "time" magazine not doing that. david: makes sense, so many
4:52 pm
false narratives. goes back to where this started about a month ago when we had information, photos put out by democratic operatives showing detention centers, here's one of them. of course this took place during the obama era not trump. the implication is this is what happens with the trump, no tolerance policy and, in fact, it was something from the obama era? >> right, i think overall the fact that many i guess more than 2,000 children separated from families regardless of where you stand on the immigration issue, that was not just an important issue with many conservative commentators, outlets, criticize the president as well. these kind of mistakes, it's amazing how often the mistakes are always anti-trump. never a mistake that gives the president the benefit of the doubt. it always goes in one direction. david: absolutely true. last photo we had, maybe put that up again of the kid with his fingers through the chain-link fence, that's an extraordinary one.
4:53 pm
that really gives the impression of a kid fenced in. in fact, was from a protest that was done in dallas, texas, and the kid just saw his mother right outside of this cage that was set up by protesters, made to look as though it was another internment camp by the trump administration, not so. >> haven't been many pictures because of government restrictions on journalists. too many have been using other pictures that don't really show what they purportedly show. >> the bottom line, howie, forgive me for interrupting, democratic operatives working in tandem with the media to put across a narrative that in many cases is untrue with the pictures that they're using. and again, when you create public policy, that's the end of this, hopefully, there will be good public policy, but you can't have good public policy that comes from false narratives, can you? >> absolutely not. unacceptable, not good journalism.
4:54 pm
i was trying to make the point the larger picture became so controversial, that's not a false narrative. we could argue about the ways and the overly emotional ways, at times, it's been reported. david: quickly, "roseanne," the show back on without "roseanne." peter fonda was involved in this awful tweet which he suggested things to be done to the president's children, just awful. i don't want to repeat it. he keeps his contract with sony to do a motion picture. roseanne loses her contract with the tv show. is that fair? >> ultimately abc did the right thing and salvage the franchise by having roseanne without roseanne, i'm not sure that works. >> thanks. don't forget to catch howie every sunday 11:00 a.m. eastern for "mediabuzz" on fox news. great show. melissa: remembering a friend

4:59 pm
prize-winning columnist, "new york times" best-selling author and one of the highest profile commentators of his generation. krauthammer lost his battle with cancer at the age of 68. >> he's a member of the fox news family for more than a decade. special report honoring krauthammer with an empty chair where he was best known to fox viewers for nightly appearance. that is a sad sight. focusing on the sad is the wrong thing with this man because he had to struggle for every single breath, every waking moment of his life and he never pulled back from that responsibility, but that love of life, he had such a love of life, he didn't view it as a burden as it was a necessity as he knew what he had to do, a great, great man. >> i spent the day looking back what he said and how approppo they are for today.

rather than hammering them, he talks about figure out what they actually believe and draw a logical line to what you believe and what you're talking about. even in this day and age where people aren't conversing. i don't know. >> a great man, he'll be missed. "the evening edit" starts now. >> where is the media outrage over the catch-and-release policies that allow deadly drugs to pour into our country? where is the condemnation of the democrat sanctuary these release violent criminals into our communities and then protect them. liz: firestorm over illegal border crossings still white hot. now this, questions mounting about "time" magazine's misleading cover. the face of separation at the border not at all what it seems. we have new details of what really happened and it's not as bad as you've been told. and this misleading photo is being downplayed in the
