[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ elizabeth: president trump wrapping up a speech where he said it and he did it again, he said made in america, it's not just a slogan, it's a way of life. the president has been barnstorming through iowa, then barnstorming through the heartland of the democrat party, illinois, talking up trade successes, wowing the audience. it was an emotional speech. workers took to the microphone, and their voices broke with emotion and gratitude for what the president is trying to accomplish with his trade policies. jeff flock is live in granite city on the ground where the president just wrapped up his speech. jeff, he did it again, another
5:07 pm
emotional speech. no other president can connect to the audience like this one, jeff. >> reporter: i tell ya, i have to -- i think i have to admit that that is, in fact, true. you know, we talk to a lot of these workers, and so many of them just never thought this would happen. they thought, you know, the decline of u.s. steel -- not just the company, but u.s. steel in general -- was something that was just going to continue. they just didn't see a way that what is happening now could possibly happen again. and, in fact, it has. i mean, this is a tremendous win for the president. not only here at this plant -- and, by the way, you see, i mean, this is a crowd, i got several tweets of people that said how many people are in the crowd. there are between 5-600 people, but this was limited, invitation only, and most of them workers at in this plant, both new workers as well as folks that had come back from layoffs. and they all, very emotional about this.
5:08 pm
to think that they got this job back that they thought was gone forever. to me, the headline of the speech in addition to the emotion the president elicited was his comment about gdp. that's certainly what our audience might care some about. and he said we don't think we're going to get to the 5.2% increase this quarter that some people have predicted, barclays specifically. but we think we're going to get in the 4s. i'll let the president speak for himself on exactly what he said about gdp. or. >> if it has the 4 in front of it, we're happy. if it has like a 3 but it's a 3.8, 3.9, 3.7, we're okay. but these are unthinkable numbers. if i would have used these numbers during the campaign, the fake news back there would have said he's exaggerating. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: oh, we would never exaggerate, we just tell it like it is.
5:09 pm
[laughter] the other number i leave you with, and that is since president trump has taken office steel jobs increasing by 7%, about 5600 new steel jobs since he became president. pretty happy here in a steel town, granite city. elizabeth: you know, jeff, he also said, this is interesting, he was talking about the press. he said, quote: people are standing here, but the press will say i didn't get any standing to violations -- ovations. and he got a roaring round of laughter at that, jeff flock. >> reporter: oh, yeah. he's trotted that one out a couple of times. you know, we've been to damn near all of these rallies. this is not really a rally, it's just an appearance, but you're right. and the president has a way, as you pointed out right at the outset, of connecting with the crowd that, well, i think it's fair to say no other president at least in my time has had. elizabeth: yeah. we've never seen it. >> reporter: president lincoln maybe, i don't know. [laughter] elizabeth: great to see you,
5:10 pm
jeff. we really appreciate you. thank you, sir. >> reporter: thanks, liz. elizabeth: okay. we are in the thick of earnings season, and look at this. all the talk about trade fights, all the talk about talk about the michael cohen tapes and all of that, the dow soaring again, up 112 points, 25,527. amazon book its largest quarterly profit of in history, topping $2 billion. mark zuckerberg in a world of pain right now. facebook basically lost the equivalent of the market value of mcdonald's. it's the biggest one-day loss in stock market history. let's get right to nicole petallides in the heat of the action on the floor of the nyse. wow, the big board, look at what's going on. nicole, you're seeing a lot of action. tell us what's going on. >> reporter: we've had two very exciting closes. the traders even telling me how heavy and busy today's close was. they looked pretty tired. but we did see a mixed bag. the s&p and the nasdaq i pulled back because of facebook, and in
5:11 pm
the meantime, president donald trump wowing us at the closing bell two days in a row. yesterday, obviously, the deal with the e.u., and today now with the speech. and so what you're seeing is that the market is still bringing that optimism, up 113 points. facebook down 19%, biggest one-day loss ever for the company since the 2012 ipo, the biggest one-day loss over about $125 billion, roughly, that's the biggest loss ever for a particular company. amazon, let's take a look at amazon. after the bell, well, watching -- the stock is up 3.3% right now. and higher margin cloud business really helping them big picture. also those earnings of two billion, that was a record quarter. and they've been more efficient as well, so we're going to watch that one in the morning. and then there's good old starbucks. howard schultz out, people wondering whether or not he'll run on the democratic ticket, but they did have to lower their guidance, and the stock was up about half a percent. elizabeth: nicole, thank you so
5:12 pm
much. let's get back to president trump in illinois just moments ago. here he is talking, let's take a listen to what the president said. >> i want to personally thank european commission president jean claude junker for working to forge this historic agreement. he's actually a very tough, very smart, very good man. of course, if i didn't make a deal with him, i wouldn't be saying that. [laughter] elizabeth: ben stein is with us, the president just knocked it off the park again. i say that because the people were standing throughout his speech. he is completing trade deals, moving the path forward, ben. these workers who took to the microphone, their hearts broke in gratitude. you could hear the emotion in their voice, ben. what do you make of the president's breakthroughs in trade talks? >> i think it's amazing. it's astonishing. i think a few days ago we were all wallow anything the fear of an all-out trade war that was going to bring us down into recession, and now he has lifted
5:13 pm
that fog, and he's given us a clear and hopeful vision of the future. it's astonishing to me, he said tariffs are a good thing, and that's not true, but he is able to negotiate extremely well. and by the way, he does connect incredibly well with crowds, incredibly well. but so did ronald reagan. elizabeth: saying our country is no longer going to be taken advantage of. let's watch. >> i want to personally thank european commission president jean junker for working to forge this historic agreement. he's actually a very tough, very smart, very good man. of course, if i didn't make a deal with him, i wouldn't be saying that. [laughter] elizabeth: you know, ben, the president is talking about trade in the heartland of the democrat party, illinois. your take. >> it's not the heartland of the democratic party anymore. the hart leand of the -- heartland of the democratic party is maybe cambridge, massachusetts, or oakland,
5:14 pm
california, or portland, oregon, seattle, washington. the industrial heartland of america is solidly republican at this point. that's been documented over and over again. there are a lot of reasons, but one is the president is committed to them. if you want to have a friend, be a friend, and he's being a friend in a way that the democrat presidents haven't been for a very long time. elizabeth: let's return to how the president is resetting the table on trade deals. german chancellor angela merkel said she is open to cutting e.u. tariffs on u.s. car imports. they're now talking about zero tariffs and zero trade barriers. germany's stock market hitting the skids, showing serious problems. looks like the u.s. came out a winner in that regard. president trump also got a trade deal with south korea a few months ago, and now, ben, mexico's top trade adviser now saying he sees a nafta deal in the next few months saying while issues are going to be resolved, he says it's inevitable, ben. he actually praised trump saying the president, quote, has a very personal style. he like toss appear chaotic, but
5:15 pm
the last thing he is is chaotic. i think he's a very intelligent man. your reaction to all that, ben. >> well, he's clearly a very intelligent man. he's achieved an astonishing amount, and i wish we would pay more attention to the fact that he sets goals and then he keeps them. he is an amazing politician. he makes promises, and then he keeps his promises. how many politicians have we had who promised pie in the sky and didn't keep it? he keeps his promises. i mean, that's an a amazing achievement. elizabeth: you know, ben, we're going to move on to what the media was predicting about the president, but, you know, he is getting natural gas deals sold into europe, undercutting russia's putin. and, you know, it could make texas displacing, texas could beat iraq and iran in terms of their energy and their petroleum output. but,ting you know, ben, to your point, the past year was predicted to be the worst of times. i said -- people were talking about it was going to be an age
5:16 pm
of foolishness, a season of darkness, a winter of despair. that's how the media was reporting it. according to the exports about a year ago, donald trump would cause a market crash, plunge the world into recession, threaten the planet's health and safety, bring fascism to america, maybe even get us all a killed. and, you know, andrew sullivan said in new york magazine that trump is an extinction-level event. paul krugman warned new york times readers that america is going to turn into trump-istan. ben, your reaction to all of that. >> it's all nonsense. nobody can ever predict future of the economy with any precision except we know that it just keeps going up and up and up over long periods of time, and we know there's so much hostility and personal animus against president trump that totally subverts the intellectual ability of these people, totally subverts their knowledge of history. this country is a country whose greatest days lie ahead, and the idea that somehow mr. trump
5:17 pm
because he's got that weird hair or for whatever reason is going to bring the economy to ruin, it's just nonsense, and it has a always been nonsense. nothing he could do is going to bring this economy to ruin. and, as a matter of fact, we are -- [audio difficulty] elizabeth: what is it? come on. come on, i know you have a number. >> i don't have a prediction, if it's in the 4s, development the, a doctor is here to break it down on whether this new drug is all it's cracked up to be.

5:22 pm
know. there are, there are spouses who have died never knowing whether their husband made it, if maybe he was roaming around the world somewhere. i have interviewed people when i did local news in san diego, i interviewed spouses who never found out what happened to their loved one, people whose brothers went off to war, and they remember them as a little girl and in this big brother who went off to war, and they never knew what happened to this person. it is extremely emotion. it is so important, for someone who serves, we sign a contract with them from the u.s. to our service members that if you are lost overseas fighting a battle, we are going to bring you home. and it is so important to family members that they come home. they always have that hope, and that hope is just sheer pain be they never get -- elizabeth: yeah, that's a great -- i'm going to reveal something about myself. i never talk about this, i just don't. i come from a firefighter family. you don't talk emotion or sentiment. my mother never knew her father because he died from
5:23 pm
complications of being hit with mustard gas in world war i, i think our family's served in every war dating back to the civil war. so, you know, your point is very well taken. is there a concern about the authenticity of these remains? >> there always is, because if you talk to people in prior administrations, they say the north koreans always use these remains as a bargaining chip because they know they are so near and dear to us. they have been accused in the past of putting animal bones in boxes and sending them back. elizabeth: do you think they could pull that off here? would they dare do that? >> i certainly hope they would not. one of the questions is how organized are they. we believe they have somewhere around 100, 150 sets of remains in the possession of the korean government. this is just a start anyway. there's believed to be over 5,000 sets of remains north of the 38th parallel. so we need -- if they do send these remains home, we're going to have them tested in our lab in hawaii, determine that they are our service members, identify them, but then we need to send teams in to try to get the rest of our people.
5:24 pm
yes. and is one of the concerns from north korea will be that that gives us a level of access that we've never had before. elizabeth: we know what it means, i know the viewer's not going to understand, my mother was only 1, and my grandmother was pregnant when their father died from complications of mustard gas, but your point is well taken. we're going to -- >> i've lost people at war that we never found anything but an oil slick out in the middle of the ocean. you never know what happens. elizabeth: it's heart ache. the president threatening to sanction turkey. a 50-year-old evangelical pastor from north carolina has been held for nearly two years on trumped up charges that he engaged in sanctuary for terrorists. it was rebel fighters, basically, standing down -- standing up, rather, against turkish dictator erdogan. he faces more than 35 years of espionage charges. financial sanctions as well as stopping sales of the f-35 fighter jet. congress is moving on that front. is that what turkey really wants, those fighter jets? >> you know, what turkey -- we've seen turkey doing is
5:25 pm
turkey has become more and more autocratic. you know, the last election in june got rid of a lot of the checks and balances of a democratic-like government. turkey has the second largest army in nato and is supposedly one of our nato allies but has not been acting like an ally. instead, we've seen them getting closer and closer to russia. russia's agreed to build a nuclear facility in you are tur. turkey is looking to buy the s- s-400, and that system has radars that can gather material, gather information from aircraft that fly. so we give -- we sell the f-35 to turkey, they work with russia on the s-400 which, by the way, can't even be integrated into nato defense forces, then russia's going to be the able to gain information on our f-35. elizabeth: what a complicated story. >> there's a lot of issues. elizabeth: we love having you on the show, thank you for your service to our country and your family's service as well. amazon is in that heated race with apple to be the first

elizabeth: vice news reporting that twitte, quote, shadow banning -- basically blocking and censoring in certain ways -- prominent republicans like the rnc chair ron that mcdaniel and republicans jim jordan, matt gaits. -- matt gaetz. we will back look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once. we're going to get to that in a second. shadow banning is, let me just explain what that is. when you do, you click on search on twitter, usually somebody's profile will pop right up. instead, it was showing results like mark meadows' sweater or
5:30 pm
jim jordan's video. let's take a check of the stock of twitter ending the day down almost 3%, possibly in sympathy for what's going on with facebook's troubles. let's bring in now the rnc spokesperson, kayleigh mcenany. one of the people affected, the rnc chair. >> that's right. this is pretty extraordinary, liz, because two months ago the rnc chair, ro in nn amc daniel, and the head of the campaign sent this letter to facebook saying they've received all sorts of complaints of bias and that they need to look into this. and they specifically mentioned shadow banning, what you just described. two months later, no response from twitter, but our chairwoman who's a very mainstream, sound republican voice, one of the leaders of our party, the leader of our party, found out she herself was banned. how many everyday americans were banned as well. elizabeth: twitter gave a confusing answer saying it's a
5:31 pm
bug, they fixed it, had nothing to do with the content, something about the account usage. i still don't understand it. new york congressman jerry nadler are, he's a democrat in new york, he says, you know what? all you republicans complaining about this, that it's fake news, censorship of conservatives, is a hoax, another false story about republican victimhood. what would you say to jeremy nadler? >> well, mr. nadler, it's quite curious that not a single member of the 78-person progressive caucus was banned. the ones who were banned were conservatives. he could not be more off base. we know facebook has had all sorts of complaints about basically hiding conservative news stories because people choosing the trending news stories were liberals. we have documented case after documented case, that's why we've had congressional hearings. elizabeth: the thing is, these are privately -- private companies. they're not public government entities, and these companies can do whatever they want with their web sites. it's not illegal. it's about their business model and what they purport to be,
5:32 pm
media sites. and, you know, the question is what are they putting on their sites? if you remember the story about how the parents of the sandy hook parents, they wrote a heart-breaking open letter to mark zuckerberg pleading with him stop letting hoax theorists on facebook insist that their children who were murdered were just actors. and then zuckerberg also recently said he would not automatically ban holocaust deniers. he has since dialed that back. what's your reaction to those kinds of issues? >> yeah, that's inexcusable, to have anyone calling sandy hook a hoax or anyone denying the holocaust to give them a platform. that ice inexcusable -- that's inexcusable. anyone who's a holocaust denier should not be welcome on facebook. but instead of taking the time to ban these individuals, what they're doing is banning mainstream conservative voices, and we have to stand against it. you're right, this isn't the government, they're a private company, they can do whatever they please, but we sure as heck as conservatives will not sit by and let it happen. weaver going to be vocal about

the internet of things, possibly health insurance, pill delivery of pharmaceuticals. i mean, what else -- what do you think, melissa, amazon next step into? some say banking. >> they're going to try to do everything. they really are trying to step into everything. but remember, sometimes you don't have the quality. like remember they bought whole foods. now, i shop at whole foods. it's not nice, as nice to shop there anymore. so it's great that they're trying to do all these things to help consumers, but some consumers like quality. so, you know, you're giving up some of the things for the cheap service to having it come to you for delivery. now they have the food delivery to your house. i'm telling you, i'm not 100% happy with giving up quality, and i don't really know where that leads, because amazon's going to put a lot of people out of business. elizabeth: let's get to facebook. $123 billion market loss, ty, the biggest one-day loss in u.s. stock market history. it lost the equivalent of a
5:40 pm
mcdonald's. it wiped out its gains for the year. and i think mark zuckerberg personally lost $17 billion in net worth. what's your take with what's going on at facebook, ty? >> he did, he lost $17 billion in the last 4 hours and gave -- 24 hours and gave back all the gains for the year, as you just point -- elizabeth: let's get to melissa, we lost the feed there. melissa, did we hit peak facebook, melissa? i mean, the full-blown love affair with social media, is it over? i don't think people like being surveilled and then have profills of -- profiles of themselves sold. >> you remember testifying before congress, that didn't go off that well, but the stock recovered. and just yesterday before the earn, it made all new brand new highs. so the thing that was panicking was the steep dropoff that it had. it was so quick and so fast from last night until today, and that's why mark zucker or burg lost a lot, why people that were long the stock lost a lot, because it was in the 170s, and it was up close to 220.
5:41 pm
it doesn't the mean they're not going to recover. i would not run back and buy stock tomorrow, but there are a lot of people that were long facebook and may have taken a hit today. but i wouldn't jump back in you want to go long, wait until the stock recovers. the tech sector though, and you can see from amazon tonight, is not going to necessarily take a hit if facebook -- elizabeth: you know, here's the thing, facebook, i think, has become too uncomfortable for users. twitter is a virtual times square, but facebook is the virtual family living room. they don't want to hear about politics at family dinner table. they don't want to hear it on facebook. that's an uncomfortable space for viewers -- excuse me, users to be in. i think time spent on facebook is trending flat to the downside. >> that's right. and it might be because of the reasons that that you said. people want to go on, and they want to have fun, talk to their friends and family, they don't want to get into arguments about politickings. elizabeth: right. mel a saw, you're terrific. sorry we lost ty.

5:46 pm
during the national anthem next season. they will not have the option of protesting by staying in the locker room. that is part of the nfl's new policy. that's now under debate. let's get to ratings, down about 10% versus last season. that's being blamed on the increase in streaming, a lack of marquee matchups and the anthem protest. basically attendance is down about 7%. let's bring in dallas fallen officer foundation president, great to see you, sergeant. >> great to see you also. elizabeth: you know, other sports leagues' players stand, the nba, baseball. why is this still a divisive issue for the nfl? >> well, first and foremost, i want to thank jerry jones for having a decisive business model and being able to make a decision that's appropriate for the country. we know that this is a divisive issue, and this should not even be a part of anyone's
5:47 pm
discussion. kneeling during the national anthem. i mean, we realize that's a divisive issue for the country. like you said before, we've seen a 10% overall decrease in viewership, and we saw a 7% decrease in, decline in attendance last year because of the kneeling. i think the nfl should get the message that, you know, the public doesn't want to go to these nfl games and see kneeling. they don't want to be involved in politics. elizabeth: the players are saying, you know what? we still want to protest for what is happening with african-americans in this country, social justice issues. but you know what's interesting? they got in trouble for celebrating touchdowns and kneeling, they got in trouble for that, but we're still having kneeling there. there is a social justice aspect to this. can you take that on? >> let me first say that kneeling has absolutely nothing to do with social justice issue. it has nothing to do with the african-american community. that's been a flawed narrative that's been facilitated for the
5:48 pm
longest of of times by individus that want to create the divisiveness in the country. individuals that have benefited off that divisiveness. so that's not even a part of an intelligent argument of saying that, you know, the kneeling is something that that's appropriate for dealing with race-related issues in this country. and, quite frankly, i'm glad that president trump called attention to it and said, hey, we don't want to see that this year. because every time something related to divisiveness in this country comes out, they blame the president. so i think it's appropriate for him to step in and say, look, we don't want to see that. we want the nfl to take charge and say that certain behavior should not be tolerated. if you've got a problem with race-related issues of divisiveness in this country, then use your platform not on the field, but use your platform in the community to see if you can fix those issues. if there's a problem dealing with law enforcement, i would encourage any one of those individuals to set up town hall

but if you already have a weakened immune system, you can have difficulty breathing, it can cause paralysis of muscles in your body, and rarely it can be life threatening. so it is important they are proactive -- elizabeth: what is botulism? >> it's a spore and it's a bacteria, and it can grow. we used to see infections in canned foods back in the '90s. so that's why it's important to take action, be proactive. if this gets into the body of someone, god forbid that it causes -- elizabeth: you know, i mean, i'm just stunned by this, because over the past week we had ritz crackers were a problem, the whey cheese, salmonella. mcdonald's had problems with its salad, pepperidge farms god fish. it feels -- goldfish. it feels like a lot. >> it's better to be safe and voluntarily pulvers us having more patients come to see their doctor and end up in the emergency room -- elizabeth: so a lot of this is precautionary, right? >> right. very few deaths from these recalls and from the
