4:02 pm
selloff. some traders i spoke with this morning noting with these headlines, they didn't expect such a selloff. one confiding saying he was on complete wrong side of the trade because he had to buy more, because he feels optimistic about earnings coming out on friday. others tell me, they feel it is noise. ultimately bargaining by president trump. once we get headlines the u.s. and china are negotiating we'll get a pop to the upside. the dow is down 219 points. we noted that we snapped the recent up streak. industrials are definitely trade-related. oil, phil flynn will hit on that with a big selloff. we saw utilities as one area that was a safe haven. airlines came under pressure. americans airlines reduced outlook. saying they will pay more for jet fuel. down 8%, david and melissa. that is a new low and it was down over three bucks, dragged down a whole group with it.

4:04 pm
guess what? saudi arabia raised their production in june by a whopping 500,000 barrels a day. that is another sign that we'll probably see more oil out of the opec cartel, even though overall, opec only raised a little bit. they were making up for other countries that could have produced. a big day on oil. trade war fears in libya the biggest reason. david: phil flynn, thank you. melissa. melissa: as we told you stocks getting spooked by trade and back and forth between china. u.s. revealing $200 billion more tariffs on chinese imports. china looking to hit back hard. ed lawrence is live in d.c. with the latest. reporter: you saw as we enter a new phase with the trade dispute in china. the u.s. trait representatives's office started process of adding tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese good coming into the united states. the tariffs could go in effect august 30th, when the process ask complete. talking about tariffs possibly
4:05 pm
6,000 items or more. those include carpets and bicycle parts, refrigerators and agriculture. senior administration officials saying china has been non-responsive when it comes to trade negotiations. in fact those officials say, china actually told the administration that they don't see any harm in the u.s. economy with the way things are currently situated. now some members about congress and republican members of congress supporting the president but still question his tactics on this. >> i don't want to hamstring the president's negotiating tactics i long said i don't think tariffs are the right way to go. i think there are legitimate, absolutely legitimate unfair trade practices particularly by china we and our allies should be confronting. reporter: some democrats, 100% behind the president's tariffs. >> tough trade enforcement against china cheating has long been overdue. these tariffs are a tool to bring china to the table and get long-term structural changes to support american jobs.
4:06 pm
reporter: now senior administration officials say they see no signs of china sort of protecting intellectual property of american companies. also stopping the currency manipulation that they do, as well as leveling the playing field, or the trade playing field overall. melissa. melissa: ed, thanks for that. david: let's bring in today's market panel. jonathan hoenig of capitalist pig hedge fund, fox news contributor. todd horowitz, bubba trading show host. todd, you still think tariffs are the way to go? >> i think 100% way to go. president trump said time to you know what, get off the pot. that is why we're getting off 200 billion. get here, get it worked out, get free markets, get rid of all the nonsense we've been creating over the years because of lobbying, everything else that is going on. get the deal done, get here, 200 billion, that's it, good-bye. david: jonathan, i think there are better ways to do it than
4:07 pm
tariffs but you have to hit the chinese after all. >> they're not hitting chinese. david: hold on a second, jonathan. we heard from edward lawrence, a terrific report they haven't stopped their stealing of intellectual property et cetera. so how do we hit them? or should we not do anything to them? >> well, first of all, all this emotionalist argument david, somehow taxing americans is hitting china. it's hitting americans. this isn't me pie-in-the-sky. i know our guest wants -- david: you have to answer my question. you're not answering my question. the point they are -- i agree with you jonathan. >> how do we protect intellectual property. david: hold on a second. jonathan, one at a time. i agree tariffs may not be the right way to go but you have to do something to stop them from stealing our property. what if not tariffs? >> david, you remember this from the early 1990s, when the dvd privacy was made a big deal. i believe at that point probably under democrat president. it was treated as issue of property rights. those in possession of stolen
4:08 pm
property were prosecuted as such. david: so we prosecute them. i wonder where. >> that is question of property rights. david: jonathan and i don't like tariffs. i think they're a tax on the consumer. >> no one does. david: i don't like taxes. i do think something has to be done. is there anything other than tariffs that you could do to hit back the chinese? todd? >> i'm sorry. i mean, i don't think there is any way to do it. i don't think this is tax on americans. i think it will work itself out to bring in true free markets. we can't prosecute them. we can't go against them. really what happens the only way to attack them is financially and create their goods from coming. >> you're attacking americans. >> we have to make our own goods. >> we heard from farmers. we heard from all these types of ceos and -- david: >> hold it, jonathan. farmers, grain prices are not any lower than they were before this all started. with the exception of soybeans which are little bit lower we're
4:09 pm
higher prices than we a year ago before any tariff talk. maybe there is lack production. that may be an issue. david: thank you very much, gentlemen. melissa. melissa: shares of pfizer closing lower. the drug giant agreeing to delay price hikes due to pressure from the president. just talked with fiz sear ceo and secretary azar. pfizer rolling back price hikes so american patients don't pay more. we applaud pfizer for the decision. we hope other companies do the same. grade news for the american people. our panel is here to discuss. this is what i don't get about this story. jonathan, maybe you know the answer. you have to pay $1400 for month's supply of lipitor. i went online, googled, can go anywhere, costco, you get the generic for 26 bucks. i'm wondering who out there, if anyone is actually paying full priest, $1400 or new or old
4:10 pm
price the president is talking about, that 9% increase, who is actually paying that for lipitor i get the answer is zero? >> to me, respectfully, melissa, that is a bit of a straw man. what you have a president threatening private companies. melissa: i think they're talking about nonsense. this is non-story. you're raising 9.4%. are people paying full price? the story is price of lipitor which is unrelated to what anyone pays for lipitor. >> quickly, i know we're tight on time, admit to you the pricing of prescription drugs in country is completely messed up in terms of list price versus incentivized price because that is function of government control. what you're seeing from the president more government control. if obama did this they would be raising hell. they're applauding it because the president with private companies, threaten be private companies. melissa: i'm not applauding the
4:11 pm
president, a, wastes his time on fake issue, nobody is paying that price and b, you're right, he shouldn't be bullying companies. who pays $1400 a month for lipitor, todd? anyone? do you know anyone? >> i'm in agreement to you, melissa. i don't think anyone pays $1400. i think more of a non-issue. more of a headline story to create the illusion that people are paying it but i'm 100% agreeing with you. i don't think anybody is paying it. i'm in agreement with you. >> everyone is saying no one pays it but hear about folks who can't afford prescription medicine. melissa: tell me if they're paying full price for lipitor? i'm just trying to solve the mystery. i can't get an answer. i've been looking all day. if anybody knows out there, you tell me. jonathan, todd. david: i don't know anybody that pays full prize. republican senators taking a stand against the president while overseas, vote overwhelmingly to challenge

4:16 pm
heat on our nato allies for not paying their fair share an calling out germany for relying on russia. blake burman with the latest from brussels. reporter: president trump using a nato appearance calling out germany, that a energy deal makes them captive of russia. president criticizing germany for relying on a pipeline from russia to import gas. the president questioning how that serves in the interests of western defense. >> how can you be together when a country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or from the group that you want protection against? >> because understand,s when we stand together also dealing with russia, we are stronger. i think what we have seen -- >> you're making russia richer. you're not dealing with russia. you're making russia richer. reporter: angela merkel defended her nation saying quote, i experienced a part of myself a part of germany controlled by
4:17 pm
the soviet union. therefore say we determine our own policies and make our own decisions. the president and merkel later met on the sidelines here in nato headquarters. president saying they discussed pipeline but he would not elaborate. he insists thatted u.s. and germany, have quote, tremendous relationship. the white house also says that the president implored nato nations to spend 4% of gdp on defense, putting it in line with the u.s. the president long questioned why nato nations do not spend more on defense. however 4% is highly improbable at least in the short run as only a handful spend 2%. the president president tying it all together, what good is nato if germany paying russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? why have only five out of 29 countries mitt their commitment. us pays for europe's protection, then loses billions on trade. must pay 2% of gdp immediately,
4:18 pm
not 2025. some nations point out they have until 2024 to fulfill the 2% commitment. back to you in new york. melissa: classic. david: former ambassador, lincoln bloomfield served as national security advisor under president's reagan, bush 41 and bush 43. ambassador, good to see you. i know it is undip me mat tick and ruffle feathers in colleagues in the diplomatic community. it is refreshing to americans to see a u.s. president frankly speak to the diplomats and not allow them to speak double-talk and get away with things. >> i'm not a profession ago diplomat. i was appointed. when they put it on the table. they get a headline. president trump certainly knows how to do that. david: well, his point, let's be specific about what his point is. germany is doubling its energy imports from russia with a
4:19 pm
sweetheart deal with gazprom on gas, just as we are spending billions and billions of dollars trying to protect germany and rest of europe from russia. this makes sense. >> this is old issue. when ronald reagan took office there was hue and cry about soviet gas pipelines into western europe, the same argument we're hearing today. this is not a new argument. putin has tried to create other alternative pipelines that would essentially tie up eastern european countries, make them dependent on russia, just the way he did ukraine when he shut off their fuel in the middle of a cold winter. david: the thing about this pipeline, keep the map up. the other pipeline you mentioned went through ukraine. this gives russia the ability to avoid ukraine, they could shut off ukraine without affecting rest of the flow to europe. this puts ukraine at definite disadvantage. >> for sure.
4:20 pm
look, we have resisted, our government has been resisting russian pipelines plans for a long time. what do they do? they're trying to sneak offshore, go through the baltic sea, come onshore in germany, not get caught bribing governments or the eu getting pipeline over land. gerhard schroeder, the former chancellor runs the pipeline enterprise from moscow. david: this is what really stinks about the deal. gerhard schroeder, the former chancellor left in 2005, he left with this deal put on the table. he signed it just before he left. then he ends up on the board of the offshoot of gazprom in charge of this deal. it makes the whole thing look like crony capitalism, insiders deal and a lot of germans are opposed to this as well as president trump. >> so, david, i have to say good for you, good for the media, for bringing out the facts. we need to look at that pipeline. we need to look at history of
4:21 pm
putin, whether he is reliable energy supplier or whether he used energy for geopolitical pressure which he has. we have to look at the terms of the deal with germany and see if anybody is implicated. i wouldn't be making accusations until we find out. david: there is a lot of smoke there. >> there is a lot of smoke,. david: but the other thing that gets me. this has to be the final word, whole concept of nato, people say jeez, president trump is endangering our commitment to nato. look what nato is become, $1.2 billion monument to bureaucracy it is housed in in brussels where president is right now, it is so bureaucrat c and so much after dark hole billions of dollars are being poured, you wonder whether it is worth it. >> i will push back. david: sure. >> i spent eight years in the pentagon. every government invested in their own military.
4:22 pm
so suppose europe spend more on defense, it will go to their own industries tear own troops, we'll spend more catching up to military exercises and plans we would do with larger european defense force, which is a good thing of the point it deters aggression. david: it does, but $1.2 billion headquarters? do we really need that, ambassador? >> i'm certainly not a judge of architecture. president trump knows that better than i. david: i'm a judge of money. 1.2 billion seems excessive to me. >> i think diplomats and government officials can get by just like the people they're supposed to be serving. david: ambassador. we have to leave it at that always a pleasure seeing you. >> thank you, david. melissa: brett kavanaugh getting ready to face absolute scrutiny from democrats in the senate. alan dershowitz joins us on the upcoming battle. the billionaires have arrived. we're taking you live to sun valley, idaho, where fox business is getting inside scoop on all things media and tech.

melissa: breaking news for you. broadcom nearing a deal to buy software company ca technologies for about $18 billion. according to dow jones report and could be announced later today, the deal coming just months after broadcom's $100 billion bid for qualcomm that was blocked by president trump. david: speaking of deals, media and tech moguls are kicking off the annual alan and company sun valley conference this week in idaho as we're in the middle of some of the biggest media deals ever made. charlie gasparino is breaking major stories from the conference. he joins us with the very latest. hi, charlie. >> fox business has learned that i have not been thrown out yet. david: we'll start with that we were worried about you.
4:27 pm
>> i know donald trump hates anonymous sources but i'm going to say, mr. president, sources are on the record saying this, that i have not been thrown out of this conference. david: anonymous source, charlie, you revealed yourself. >> that is what i'm saying here. here is the deal here, we'll quote on some anonymous sources of deal-making going on here. as we reported today everybody thinks that the at&t-time warner deal is done deal that judge leon, approved it, blocked trump's attempt to break it up. not so fast, what we learned today doj definitely wants to appeal that deal. there is one fly in the ointment for them to do it, the head of the antitrust division wants to appeal it, they are resisting that appeal. that is where it is right now. they have until august 12th, 13th, essentially 60 days after the ruling to appeal the
4:28 pm
case. so there is a battle inside of the doj to get the solicitor general to approve the appeal. that is where we are right now. so that is not a done deal. people at at&t are worried. i've been talking to a lot of them today. some are here. some are back in dallas. they're worried about that. the other big deal is comcast. what are they going to do? are they going to bid on the sky assets they want to buy that fox is looking to buy before they happened it over as part of the fox-disney deal. do they leave that alone? as we reported last week, disney bankers were telling me they thought chances of comcast going after 21st century fox assets going to disney were low. they would focus on sky. maybe a smaller portion of fox. some of that is coming out today, brand x, i never say the name over there in englewood cliffs, they're essentially what i reported last week. that tells you why you should watch us and not watch them.
4:29 pm
the other thing you should watch us and not them, they're inside of this conference. they're part of it. i don't know how you can believe anything they say. it is establishment telling you stuff when they're reporting it. we're getting stories based on sources. i can tell you this, we're going to have to see where comcast goes on this sky deal. they have until friday to bid on sky. they have a little longer to bid on fox assets. the thinking right now is about what we were reporting last week, citing disney sources they will focus on sky and probably not go for the fox assets going to disney. that said, i'm not brian roberts. he is the ceo of comcast. i'm not his broker. i don't know exactly what he will do. i can just report you what he is saying. david: thank god you're not with brand x, charlie. they have a lot of trouble keeping up with breaking stories. >> they don't get thrown out of this conference. why is that? david: they're not doing their
4:30 pm
work. that should be the way of judging a qualities of reporter's work, whether you get thrown out of conferences. we have to leave you at that thank you very much, my friend. melissa: taking a hard-line. nato, president trump calling out allies over defense spending. why many countries are leaving the u.s. with the tab. not backing down. democratic leaders working to block judge brett kavanaugh from the supreme court. how should republicans respond? alabama senator richard shelby is up next. ♪ the employee of the year, anna.

4:35 pm
senator richard shelby. thank you so much for joining us. there is kind of nobody i feel like is happy with judge kavanaugh on the issue of health care. on one side you have the sound you just heard and folks saying, you know, this will be the death of millions coming with this judge. do you think first to that side, do you think that is the case? >> oh, no, absolutely not. that is democrats hollering around, probably making up a lot of issues that don't even exist. i think nomination of judge kavanaugh by the president was an excellent choice. i look forward to meeting with him, discussing things as he makes the rounds here in the senate but that is an important appointment. one of the most important things that we will do this congress is vote to confirm judge kavanaugh. i believe he will be confirmed. not, it will not be without a battle, because, people are divided in this country. a viable conservative, common-sense supreme court is important to the welfare of all
4:36 pm
of the people of this country. melissa: there are other people criticize him from the other side on health care. in fact when he was writing his decisions he refused to say obamacare was unconstitutional. what do you think of that? >> well i had my problems with it. i voted against obamacare. i voted to repeal it many times. i would continue to vote to repeal it. i think that is the democrats hollering wanting big government, trying to couch it in different ways. trying to scare the american people. we ought to look at the qualifications of this man which are great and his record which i believe is an excellent record and vote on him. melissa: one of the very big stories of the day, senator, we are talking about the president heading off to russia. you just returned from a trip to russia as part of a delegation that was hoping to break the ice ahead of the president's upcoming meeting with vladmir putin. what did you learn on that trip? >> well, basically i learned that the russians probably haven't changed any at all. we knew that before they came, but you know, we try to opened
4:37 pm
up a dialogue with them. that is a lot better than being a total adversary especially with nuclear powers as we are. my advice to the president, if he needed any, he probably doesn't need any, would be prepared, be careful with putin. putin is smart. he is ruthless. he comes out of the kgb. i met with him one time here in the capitol number of years back. he will want a lot and not give anything. be cautious. melissa: what would you advise the president to ask for? what does need to get? >> i would like to see him make a resolution, get russians out of syria. i would like to see some kind of resolution, a positive resolution to the invasion of ukraine. we can go on and on. we have a lot of grievances with the russians. i said when we came out of moscow, the russians need to earn our trust. that will be a big ticket item.
4:38 pm
it might not happen. a meeting in helsinki. i hope it is substance rather than optics. melissa: do you think he should ask about meddling in the election. >> absolutely. that is what we talked about among other things. i appreciate you bringing that up in america. of course they are in denial there. putin will deny it. but obviously we believe it went on. they tried to meddle. probably did to some extent. we don't like that. they should stay out of our domestic politics and domestic policies. melissa: you voted today in favor of a motion to challenge president trump over his trade policy. your state is going to be specifically hard-hit. in fact the chamber of commerce said $3.6 billion of exports from alabama alone could be threatened by the tariffs. what is your message to him on that? >> my message to the president would be that tariffs generally don't work. you know, we put, impose a
4:39 pm
tariff, chinese impose a tariff, germans impose a tariff, tit-for-tat. i would look at all of our trade agreements. they ought to have a sunset provision in them, see where they work and where they're not. we're being eaten alive by the chinese in trade. some areas by some of our friend in europe. melissa: yeah. what did you think of his chatter in nato today? you know, he was castigating a lot of who are our allies, basically saying germany in particular is getting a lot of money to russia by virtue of that pipeline deal. and that that doesn't really match up against the rest of nato calling for tough talk against russia. what did you think of that? >> i think the president is spot on. he is spot on about the pipeline. russia will be selling more and more gas and oil to western europe. they will be dependent on russia. secondly, the other thing that he raised and should have, is the western europe, nato allies

congressman james comer from kentucky. sir, her lawyers have responded and said that she has made it abundantly clear she will cooperate with this investigation through both her actions and words. all she asks to be treated like other witnesses. that she just needs the time, access to the documents, so that she can properly be prepared. what do you think about that? >> well, i think she has had plenty of time. with respect to her saying she is prepared to cooperate, she is off to a very bad start because congress has been requesting an interview with her, deposition, for seven months now. so it's time for her to answer some questions. the whole nation is in turmoil now, having to sit back and wait and wonder and worry about the special investigation, the mueller investigation. this is something that as more and more information comes out from the fbi, doj, it does appear to be a witch-hunt. it is something very expensive.
4:46 pm
it is something that has consumed a lot of time in washington. it has been hard on the president. and, we need to wrap this up. but we can't wrap it up without the, without testimony from lisa page. melissa: i mean, it is your committee. what would you ask her? >> well i have a lot of questions about the texts. we have possession of the texts between she and peter struck. they're very concerning. -- strzok. they clearly show a bias. there were texts that read, peter strzok hoped that hillary clinton one one hundred million to zero. a text between strzok and page we have an insurance policy strzok assured page that hillary would win. when you have two very important investigators in the hillary email scandal, as well as the russia investigation, with this type of bias, it's very concerning. so we'll have a lot of questions. melissa: i imagine you have the same question for him tomorrow.
4:47 pm
he is already responded, i guess, that in his other testimony, that we didn't get to see, that basically these are just personal attacks. doesn't mean anything. >> well, i can imagine what the fbi would do if they were on the other end and had texts like that from people that they were interrogating. they would use those to the max. we expect better out of our intelligence community. this is certainly given the intelligence community a black eye. there are a lot of questions that the american people have. and there will be a a lot of questions we have tomorrow for peter struck. melissa: what is the result of what happens tomorrow? if he comes forward, just says these were personal attacks, they didn't mean anything, what is achieved? >> well i think, you know, it is obviously going to show he has no credibility. the fact that he was on both the hullry email investigation as well as the russia meddling investigation, you know, that appears to me, to be a conflict of interest. especially when you take into account that he clearly had a
4:48 pm
bias against president trump. he clearly wanted the president to lose the election. and we all know that the fbi played a huge role in the final weeks and days of the presidential election. that is not supposed to happen. regardless if you're a democrat or republican, you shouldn't have the fbi on the front page of the paper every day. melissa: real quick, so does that mean the goal is here to discredit the mueller investigation? that is what the other side is saying. if he led it, did these things, you can't really believe it, it is almost sounds like same thing. >> not to discredit the mueller investigation, chairman gowdy and bob goodlatte, we want this thing to wrap up. it lasted over a year. as far as i'm concerned i have not seen one ounce of evidence that would imply donald trump did anything wrong. if they have evidence they need to bring it forward. this will be part, part of the whole process and congress, when we were request information from a federal government agency we should get it. we shouldn't have to fight to get information from our

4:53 pm
some people are coming out with this theory the reason cavanagh was picked was to empower, because cavanagh believes in strong executive, this would help trump in the coming impeachment trial. >> if that were trump's goal he would appointed me, not cavanagh. let me tell you why. i think, i write in my case, impeaching trump, you need to have a crime to impeach the president. cavanagh says, no, no, if the president engages in dastardly behavior he can be impeached. that is very permissive standard. if the president wanted to appoint somebody who would defend him -- david: even if you believe that impeachment played a part in his think about cavanagh this wouldn't make any sense. >> makes no sense at all. david: what do you think, just in general of cavanagh? >> i don't know him. i've shaken hand with him in harvard law school faculty lounge. everybody i know who knows him has high regard for him as intellectual, a scholar, straight, fair guy, as libertarian conservative.

not a kind of flame-thrower who will reverse everything, comes in with an agenda. he is regarded as superb judge. if i were a senator i wouldn't make up my mind yet. i would wait to hear how he answers questions. david: everybody made up their mind. that is the new way of doing things. on the issue of roe v. wade he would let the facts speak for themselves. a lot of democrats are saying he already made up his mind on roe v. wade but back in 2006, senator schumer, one of those senators prejudged him, actually had a chance to ask him about it. let's play the tape. get the lawyer's reaction. >> do you consider roe v. wade to be and a bomb nation? >> senator on the question of roe v. wade, if confirmed to the d.c. circuit, i would follow roe v. wade faithfully and fully that would be binding precedent on the court. decided by the supreme court. david: that is very different from what a lot of democrats are saying about him now? >> what democrats did, some of them, some of the radicals, they held up signs with a blank name, saying oppose and whoever he

picks. now some people, like, my friend liz warren, she said no, would only oppose people came from the list provided by the federalist society. but others said, anybody they will oppose, citing republicans, we oppose anybody who obama nominated. we stole the election, nomination from the democrats, and people asked me all the time, who would have been my favorite justice to be nominated. my answer merrick garland. he deserved it. david: liz warren, your friend, she may want to read the book but if she read the book in martha's vineyard, she would be thrown in jail. >> we have a new cover, plain brown wrapper, especially for martha's vineyard. take the case to the beach. we did as kids when which would have dirty books, which would have plain brown wrapper. david: you have another coffer. >> i have another cover.
