cup was mismarked. it's marked in teaspoons but the instructions on the bottle is milliliters. stuart: mislabeling product as as opposed to advil itself? >> yeah. stuart: you have sent host of bullish sentiment. ashley, tell us again. ashley: recorded blowout, 18-year high in august, strong performance in july, confidence in this economy just follows the consumer confidence is going to be growing and has in sales numbers, brick and mortar stores have shown that economy is feeling confident and plays to what larry kudlow said earlier
12:01 pm
today. >> home prices, went up 6% in june, so people are driving more money from the value of their homes so they are going out to spend it. stuart: i really do feel that the recovery of the american economy and the return to prosperity by this country, i think that's the greatest story never told. ashley: yeah. stuart: this year. ashley: consumer confidence number, where will we find that? not going to be reported. huge economic story. stuart: if you look at the evening news, when did you ever see the extraordinary growth rate of the economy reported as a fact without some kind of nastiness. ashley: doesn't nit fit the narrative, the best way to do it is to ignore it. >> i like the new word from larry kudlow, i am going to use it, you can use it, growth year it is. stuart: i did use it. >> growth year. growth year is on me.
12:02 pm
stuart: larry kudlow knows that i am a grammar nuts. i think larry was having fun at any expense. growthier is not a real word. ashley: whether the world does exist or not the actual real facts and the numbers do exist and they show a very healthy economy. stuart: producer is in my ear, you will not tell me that growthier is not a word in dictionary? >> ease button to push. stuart: i'm a missionary for english language. susan as new-comer what's wrong with the following sentence, my mother told me to quickly run to the store? >> oh, gosh. stuart: you don't know. ash. ashley: split infinitive. >> you got help from the
12:03 pm
producers. >> no, they just told me to wrap. stuart: neil cavuto, never heard before but it's your hour. neil: what an impactful -- [laughter] neil: thank you very much, stuart. looking at the markets, they since ticked down a little bit here but sort of the battle going on back and forth whether the rally can suspend itself and whether it will translate to canada and other countries. you can get following the tick by tick movements, jimmy carter said he tried not to do, they mathed but sometimes in the environment, perhaps they mattered too much. >> when you were president, did you, did the markets matter to you, they mattered to this president, he mentions them a lot. thinks they are very important, what do you think? >> yes, the market is very important to me because i thought having a fair and
12:04 pm
equitable relationship with as many countries around the world as possibly could and friendship was national trade with them was good for america in the long term and good for individual americans as well and i still feel that way and i don't have any doubt that eventually we will work out another good deal between the united states and méxico which we might be doing now and canada in the future. i talked to canada today earlier and they are concerned with the future relationship to replace nafta. i believe that we -- i think that we will continue to benefit from international trade and -- and president trump's approach is not the same as has been in the past, perhaps not the same one that i performed when i was president but he has his own ideas and -- and my hope is that he'll be successful. neil: a loot more with the former president of the united states, 39th president for 37 years he has been former president longer than any other
12:05 pm
in american history, he left office at 56, now 93 year's young, going to be 94 very, very soon and is busy as ever, working on his more than 4,300 house for habitat for humanity but in the environment he says he likes to be in and he thinks that everyone, everyone on the right and on the left should be looking at doing some good and making a difference in this world. something he had to say about john mccain as well that will bear interest and what he had to say about the democratic push to impeach the president of the united states or at least start whispering quite loudly about it. all that coming up with the market up 5 points. let's get the read of how things are doing under this president, donald trump, the president carter had other choice things to say. united capital ceo, what former president carter was talking about the obsession with markets, it's important but sometimes we place too much importance on it and make decisions, i don't want to put words in his mouth, we make
12:06 pm
decisions we really shouldn't, what do you make of that? >> i think he's right. i mean, the markets are important leading indicater for the economy and i don't think -- and by the way w the fundamental nature of wealth creation and when they are going up that everybody has a greater amount of wealth and -- and more zeros in their accounts, that's not a bad thing. so separate the two ideas, there's still an important indicater and important kind of closely tied thing that we all should care about but they are not the ultimate score board as you see when wages, real wages aren't increasing but the markets are. there's a lot of noise that gets into the equation. neil: you know, one of the things the former president was mentioning is this ongoing trade tit for tat while he differs with this president's approach, he hopes that it succeeds and benefits american workers, he still seems to have doubts particularly treatment of canada. we will get into that in a
12:07 pm
second, what are your thoughts on that, if they had achieved the results the means don't matter? >> i think the markets are adjusting to much more vocal and externally placed battle, we are not used to this happening in a public forum and on twitter and now we are getting kind of used to it, we don't need to pay the attention and yesterday was quite significant to get something done with méxico, no discussion of the wall, none of the things that we said were bright lines and we ended up with what looks like an agreement that we hope is better for america very few of us have the details yet but says that this administration for all of the noise that it makes in the public way is still looking to get results and if that's true, then we have less concerns about china, less concerns about turkey, less concerns about canada, because méxico was the -- the most prominent noise that we heard from the administration, so i think it's a very encouraging sign for all
12:08 pm
investors that, hey, besides the noise there's actually good work being done. neil: what do you think of that dave? >> well, look, i think there's -- i think this president has done terrific things for the economy but i also think that the one place where his knowledge seems to be lowest and i think there's a broad consensus among economists and analysts that he doesn't really know what he's doing is around trade. there was -- i read a very interesting commentary this morning which essentially said, well, look, not much is happening here, this has very little effect on the domestic content rules only effect the nissan versa, the only high-production car that is caught and have to be rearranged and the net it's rearranging a couple of chairs in the living room in the economic living room and it didn't do much but the commentary said, gee, you know what, if he can sell this as if
12:09 pm
he can sell minor furniture rearranging as fundamental work of the trade situation in the world, that's pretty good for the world economy, that implies stability and implies that for all the rhetoric and for all the hot air, you know, we will get back pretty soon and that's a good thing. neil: all right, gentlemen, thank you very much, bus you news day. what the president is talking about after cementing a deal hope to be approved by congress and méxico and get canadians involved is $6 billion for u.s. farmers, that won't come close to necessarily the losses they are looking certainly on paper and reality, texas republican congressman brian, what he makes of all of this, congressman, he's making progress with the mexicans, could force can add -- canadians, a lot of farmers are wondering when do we get the benefit, what do you think? >> i have a lot of rice farmers that are concerned and rice wasn't on the list for some of
12:10 pm
the aid funds but i think that, you know, i support the president in what he's doing, we've had a miserable history with our trade deficits, you know, since 24 years ago we had a trade surplus with méxico, 1.6 billion and now we are 70 billion in the hole with them, trade deficit. so it was -- it was certainly time to do this and i support the president and what he is doing with his tariffs, but we have to be very, very careful and i think that's what he's trying to do. neil: what if the canadians don't come on board and we have deal with the mexicans and canadians aren't involved? a lot of people look back at this and say we had time with mexicans and they have been rewarded an not the canadians who have been loyal and regularly rewarding friendship and they do not? >> well, you know, i think the
12:11 pm
canadians, i believe, are -- there's incentive for them to join in to this agreement. i think they would probably be unwise not to come to the table and talk to us because, you know, let's face it, neil, the united states is always the first one to get hurt in these trade-type wars, we are always very generous as i just mentioned with the mexican trade deficit and i think that the president has made promises, he's keeping these promises, he wants to take care of americans and the job creators in america and make america great again. i really am supportive of him. neil: all right, we will see what happens, sir, thank you very much. >> okay. neil: when we come back, president jimmy carter maybe as you have not heard him before talking about impeachment and talking about his own part, the hard right to the left, talking about economy that has to be more about more than making people rich and poor and the

12:16 pm
impression with human rights, better relations with countries we used to ignore. former president has been very busy continuing to build houses for habitat for humanity. i spoke to the president about those efforts, i want you to know in context, putting in full disclosure i was intern at carter administration as college student so he now and then makes references to that. right now jimmy carter. by my count you are better than 4,000 homes, 14 countries you've been doing this and i'm looking at some of your fellow ex-presidents who have been making a fortune in book deals, millions of dollars for combined speeches and here you are 93 year's young building homes, what are you thinking? >> well, i'm certainly 94, as a matter of fact and my wife is 91 but we still -- we still are struggling along, we don't bigger as we did in the past but we do work on habitat side and it's gratifying, i feel like we
12:17 pm
get more out of it than we put into it although we work sometimes very hard and overwork on occasion, habitat is a wonderful organization and i would urge everybody that's watching this country to consider either making contribution to financially. neil: you've never been about accumulating wealth, i think you had said it has never been my ambition to be rich, former communications adviser said he doesn't like big shots and he doesn't think he's a big shot. [laughter] neil: you have a problem with big shots. >> no, i don't. i get along well with people who consider themselves to be big shots, they are not my favorite people. but, you know, i've written 32 books and i will be pleased that if my books brought as much as
12:18 pm
some of the others did but i've never been against people who got wealthy, i just -- not one of my top priorities. neil: i was thinking of you, mr. president, this time with everything that's going on in the country, it's very polarizing, as you've indicated in prior chats that we've always had variations of polarizing times but these seem especially nasty. how would you describe it right now? >> i think we go into a phase of difficulty. our country is much more polarized than it ever was before, there's much more disparity with poor people and we have been down to history as you know more than 200 years to overcome difficulties of that kind and i don't have any doubt that the basic principles of america and the basic status that we have of equality between
12:19 pm
people will principle -- prevail in the long term. neil: do you think what you are doing now and what you're doing to help the disadvantaged is going away, a lot of people criticize president trump that the focus has been on the markets and the focus on the boom, when you were president did you -- did the markets matter to you? they matter to this president, he mentions them a lot, thinks they are very important, what do you think? >> yes, the markets are very important to me because i thought having a fair and equitable relationship with as many countries around the world as we possibly could and friendship was national trade with them was good for america in the long term and good for individual americans as well and i still feel that way and i don't have any doubt that -- that eventually we will work out another good deal between the
12:20 pm
united states and méxico, which might be doing now and canada in the future. i talked to canada earlier today and they are concerned about the future relationship to replace nafta. i believe that we -- i think that we will continue to benefit from international trade and -- and president trump's approach is not the same as has been in the past, perhaps, not the same one that i performed when i was president but he has his own ideas and -- and my hope is that he'll be successful. as a matter of fact, i pray for president trump, i pray that he will, you know, keep our country at peace and promote human rights and he will be successful as president. neil: not too long ago you argued this president has a problem with the truth, what did you mean by that? >> well, i think -- i think it's been proven on a number of occasions president trump has made statement that is were not
12:21 pm
exactly correct and i think that john mccain and i who were graduates of naval academy in indianapolis were viewed with a principled that truth was preeminent and was a real test of integrity. any kind of a misleading statement that you made at naval academy would result in instant dismissal and no two questions about it. there was no trial or anything else. you were just gone and so i think that -- that elevating truth to top position and careful not to make a statement that might be misleading to somebody else is a very worthwhile thing to do. neil: you know, the president had a very relationship with senator john mccain. you know about the half-step flag and put up back, full staff and back to half staff, not putting out a statement and then
12:22 pm
putting out a statement, what did you think of all of that? >> i thought that president trump made a mistake the first by not recognizing john mccain's unquestioned commitment to our country in the navy and as a prisoner of war and service in congress and both his critics and also his supporters made clear to him that he had made mistake when the flag was up and down and so forth, but i think that his last statement that i read yesterday has corrected that and the flag would be lowered in honor of john mccain's service to our country until appropriate time. so i think -- i think earlier mistakes that were made have been adequately corrected. neil: mr. president, many in your property that are salivating prospects, talk of a blue wave, many of them are mentioning the i word, impeachment if they get control
12:23 pm
of the house, what do you think of that? >> not me, i don't talk about impeachment. i think that's a wrong thing for democrats to do and i think they -- i come to 2018 elections i just completely unknown now. neil: yeah. >> i'm not actively involved in politics as you know but i will helping democrats the best i can and i presume you'll be voting republican, i don't know for sure, but you don't have to tell me, but i think that -- i think that the american people will make the right choice. neil: you would be surprised my political views, mr. president. president trump has said if democrats pursue impeachment you can kiss this market rally good-bye, stocks would tank, what did you think of that? >> you know, i think the president has much less influence over the economy than
12:24 pm
certainly publicized by the president himself. i know when i was in office, you know, some bad things happened with the economy, i never did feel that -- that i personally was responsible for it because the economy is on taxation and federal reserve access to money and things like that and the general attitude in the business community have much more to do with the economy than incumbent president, but whenever the economy goes up the president takes credit for it. [laughter] >> when the economy goes down the president wants to avoid responsibility and i think it's been that way in our country since we started. neil: i thought of you, sir, when this president was criticizing jarome powell, new federal reserve chairman and if anyone could have made a case, you know, it was you with paul at the time, you didn't. was it tempting then, the rates were going up, half a point at a
12:25 pm
time, what did you make of that and why didn't you publicly state anything? >> well, i guess you're talking about when -- well, i was deciding on who to appoint to be head of reserve bank and i decided that paul would be the best choice because i thought he could take steps even though it was not good for me politically, it would be good for our economy and for our nation and so that was one of the most difficult nations made was to put paul in charge. neil: do you think that caused you the election in retrospect? >> it was a negative factor in the election but i wouldn't say it was the cause of the election, no. [laughter] >> but it was the right thing to do and i'm glad i did it and n retrospect and since then has become a friend of mine, he and i both are good fly fisherman
12:26 pm
and we get together on fishing and so forth. so paul has been a hero of mine economically speaking ever since then. neil: mr. president, it's a great -- it's been great chatting with you. i remember getting coffee and working the copier, i learned a lot. [laughter] >> well, thank you, neil, you did more than just get coffee but thank you very much for being an intern and also for your good work on television. neil: thank you very much, sir. >> best wishes. neil: to you as well. former chief adviser wrote a cracker jack, one to have best i ever read on jimmy carter, he will be joining us and his read of impact of presidency and his message today, when we come back, someone who will seize on what the former president had to say about impeachment talk. the former president says it could boomerang on them, after
12:27 pm
this.
12:28 pm
12:29 pm
12:30 pm
12:31 pm
neil: mr. president, there are many in your party who are salivating at prospects in midterms talk about a blue wave, many of them are mentioning the i word, impeachment if they get control of the house, what do you think about that? >> not me, i think it's a wrong thing for democrats to do and i think they -- i come of 2018 elections i just completely unknown now. neil: yeah, the former president says when it comes to this president and trying to talk about kicking him out of office probably not a good strategy on the part of democrats, unless some are whispering about it and hoping that they do seize the house, that would be their call. access reporter, access among those reporting of not impeachment, certainly a lot of investigations, right kayla? >> republicans have created a
12:32 pm
list of topics that they are worried the democrats would investigate should they take the house in the fall that would begin in january and so, you know, while impeachment it seems that the party is not unified around that idea quite yet at least in terms of the elected officials of the party, you know, investigation will be rampant should democrats take the house. neil: is there a difference on the people you talk to about whether you launch investigations or you begin impeachment proceedings that the american people are going to say, no, thank you, we are not in the mood for that or not in the mood for two years for that? >> neil, i want to read to you axios did survey about american's views on impeachment and 44% of americans think that congress should begin impeachment proceedings, but that's 79% of democrats, 49% of independents and only 8% of republicans so i think, you know, this looks like division
12:33 pm
in the country about president trump. you know, so i think that investigations while they're not as disruptive as impeachment, what axios has reported that democrats before they begin those proceedings they want to make sure that public opinion is on their side and right now it just is not quite there. neil: yeah, i think the message i was getting from the former president was that there are other issues to focus on which democrats might be able to seize the initiative and criticize bifurcating economy and he was saying that during barack obama's administration and the thorn i guess in both the president's side, i guess, but is it your sense that the more they talk about this, the more they talk about investigations or even upping the ante and mentioning impeachment, despite leadership, democrats are guarantying defeat in november? >> i don't think you can see that, no. i think impeachment gives something republicans to run on
12:34 pm
and energize their base saying, you know, we have to protect president trump but i also think that -- i don't think it guaranties defeat because there are so many other factors in this election and as we said president trump is so divisive. neil: caitlin owens. >> thank you. neil: the president wanted brokered deal with anybody. nafta had underpinnings in this administration, this administration starting from scratch, some wonder whether there could be more bad than good, policy adviser next.

12:39 pm
think of that? >> you know, i think that the president has much less influence over the economy than is certainly publicized by the president himself. i know when i was in office, you know, some bad things happened with the economy, i never did feel that i personally was responsible for it because the economy is on taxation and federal reserve access to money and things like that and general attitude in the business community has much more to do with the economy than incumbent president but whenever the economy goes up, the president wants to take credit for it and when the economy goes down the president wants to avoid responsibility and i think that's been that way in our country ever since we started. neil: all right, that might have been jimmy carter's way of telling donald trump, you know, be very careful owning this market, you can own it on the way down as well. former domestic policy adviser and author of president carter,
12:40 pm
he was also an ambassador to european union during clinton years, later deputy secretary of the treasury, you name it, what a resume, stewart. >> you conducted terrific interview, almost at 94 he was incredibly lucid. neil: amazing. yeah, i quoted you a couple of times, let me ask you about the message he had for this president about bragging about market and can cut both ways, of course, but presidents are pegged to that so good when they go up, not so good when they go down, what did you think of that? >> i think he had two major messages in first in answer of impeachment that it's the absolutely wrong thing to do for democrats to talk about it and the second is that almost all
12:41 pm
economists would agree presidents can influence markets and the economy at the margins but the economy itself is an enormous engine that's driven by business decisions, that's driven by the federal reserve on the monetary side. as he said, presidents can have influence and certainly one has to say that president trump's tax cuts have encouraged more consumption, they've encouraged more investment, deregulation has helped as well in setting an environment but those are more at the margin and i think what president carter was saying is, be aware because if you try to say that you're responsible for the uptick, when the inevitable downturn, not necessarily a recession or slowdown occurs you'll be going to be blamed for that so you have to be careful and i think it was his message, he was on the wrong side of that, we were on the wrong side of that during the 1970's, we inherited a difficult economy from nixon and ford and got worse in part because to have
12:42 pm
iranian revolution and he got the blame for it. what he did do and i think this is very important and you got into this, he decided just before we were getting ready for reelection against ronald reagan to make the most difficult decision and he said so in your interview and that's appointing paul. neil: absolutely. >> told him, mr. president, you've tried anything to deal with inflation, nothing has worked, i'm going squeeze it out of the economy the hard way through high interest rates which he never complained about during the election -- neil: did he ever, though? if there was a president who could draw bone for hiking interest rate that president trump is talking about jarome powell, increases have been tepid by comparison, was he ever tempted to, oh, my gosh, this guy is killing us? >> absolutely, certainly internally we knew that this was
12:43 pm
killing us politically when you have double digit inflation and double digit interest rates caused by tight money supply. carter knew that was what he was going to do and he told i'm willing to lose my reelection if inflation dropped dramatically but only in the first year or so of reagan's administration. it was greatest contribution, so surely internally we meshed our teeth all of the time but publicly he respected the independence of the fed as he respected by the way the independence of special counsel who is investigating his chief of staff without one saying it was a witch hunt or trying to interfere, he believed in presidential restraint on the independence of other institutions like the fed and like the special counsel in the justice department. neil: he wasn't adverse, he
12:44 pm
never, again, as you stated publicly demeaned them and i'm wondering, he was careful in phrasing about donald trump but he -- he did talk about it, i guess the most gentlemenly thing to say if you're calling someone a liar not to call them liar, attitude of ignorance of truth under the part of president trump, what did you make of that? >> i think he was taking about misstatements and these have been very well documented by the press in hundreds and thousands of cases. i think he was very careful in not trying to in any way indict the president, he said he prayed for him, he was positive about the deal that's come with méxico, which i have two -- we negotiated a natural gas deal with méxico during the administration and the last major trade agreement, subside
12:45 pm
clinton administration was done by president carter and bob strauss. he was a real clear trader, he was respectful as he should be toward the president but he also said that truth was important, after all, we ran, neil, in a post watergate era where i will never lie to you was the center piece of his campaign and that was just not rhetoric in 1970, ethics act, special counsel laws, now at the 40th anniversary almost of having the inspector's general passed merit selection of judges, these were all done as part of the post watergate era. he grew up in an environment with the naval academy where the truth was incredibly important and that theme i will never lie to you was what helped him defeat gerald ford in post watergate era, obviously this was critical in the administration, it was not just rhetoric, he was careful today in how he dealt with --
12:46 pm
neil: like a preacher, cautious in condemnation there. but i talk about this before when you and i were chatting about the fine book and imprint and i can't help but thinking he sees himself and maybe regrets seeing himself like a rodney dangerfield of presidents, he doesn't get the respect, he doesn't -- it doesn't matter to him the multimillion dollar deals even though he has written like 3 dozen and has to stick in his crawl? >> it doesn't and one of the things he's pleased with my book although is that it's a positive reassessment about all of the positive things he did which were obscured by iran and inflation such as energy security, the environment, ethics laws, opening to china, the camp david accords, human rights and foreign policy, tough stand toward cof yet union and
12:47 pm
afghanistan and i think his concern is and the reason that i wrote the book is not to ignore those, i don't whitewash them as you know, but it is that they've obscured the real establishments he made and i think that does stick in his crawl but i hope my book will cause reassessment of presidency not just the fact he's admired former president but he did important things, i think, becoming the most accomplished one-term president, 70% of our legislation was passed, these were obscured by these very real problems. i think he's now seeing the fact that hopefully through my book and -- and other commentaries that the positive parts of his administration are coming through including the ethics part, telling the truth, being respectful in the office, being respectful in the federal reserve's independence, even when they hurt and i'm glad you have given him the opportunity and given me the opportunity to
12:48 pm
talk about them. neil: how do you work for both president carter and president clinton, i don't want to say who did you like more but who impressed you more? >> well, i think -- let's take trump, clinton and carter. i also worked with president johnson. president trump is an extraordinary politician in nurturing his base every day he does that, president carter had the problem that he was too liberal for his conservative southern white base and too conservative for his liberal interest group race in the democratic party so it fell in the cracks. >> cost him with ted kennedy. >> now, with respect to bill clinton, bill clinton is a master politician, president carter had -- in a sense obama did, sort of intellectual view of the presidency, doing the right thing regardless of the
12:49 pm
political consequences, he always said to us, don't tell me the politics, i'm going to do the right thing from my viewpoint and let the politics fall where they may. well, the president is the commander in chief but he's also the politician in chief and that's what bill clinton understood, bill clinton nurtured his coalition, he loved politics, he was gooding at compromising and so he was as bright as jimmy carter, they both really brilliant, clinton a wrote scholar, carter finished near top of naval academy but jimmy carter had a different view of politics, you part politics at office door and do the right thing and hopefully you will get rewarded. that's not what bill clint own feels, it's not donald trump feels, it is you're a politician every day, every minute, you have to nurture that base. neil: yeah. >> i think that's the difference but had we had a better economy, had we not had hostage crisis, jimmy carter's approach would
12:50 pm
have succeeded. he did get 70% of his legislation done and he did have huge accomplishments abroad and at home. neil: you spelled it out on black and wide, the good, the bad and everything in between. thank you very much. >> neil, thank you. neil: more after this. ign up for new insurance instead? for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ you shouldn't be rushed into booking a hotel. with expedia's add-on advantage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia.

neil: all right, president trump doubling down on google saying that the company rigged search results and doesn't look good for him or conservatives, here following the drama, what's going on here. >> the president in a series of tweets as we have been following said essentially that google search silences the voices of conservatives, hides information. it is news that is not fair so to speak. so, you know, the president previously mounted a similar attack against twitter, if you remember from a few months ago saying but i want to go through -- we now have the response from google and i'm going to read part of this full response, when users, this is coming coming frm google ceo, when you type in search bar, goal to make sure they receive the most relevant answer in amount of seconds, not used as political agenda, we don't bias results toward political ideology, every year we issue hundreds of improvements to algorithms to
12:55 pm
ensure they have high-quality context. by the way, we never use rank for political purposes. so i think from whatever whichever said you -- side you want to favor in the case, it's difficult to see what the president or any other citizen could really do to have google change this particular product and, of course, the google search is part of alphabet, publicly-traded company. i'm not even sure to what extent we need legals to say what could the government do even if this were proven, there are more neutral sources say that president trump may have gotten information from a conservative blog that said that 96% of these hits were hidden when they should have been shown but there are many people criticizing the media who put out results saying that their stands were unscientific actually was the word used. neil: whatever is done veering against them?
12:56 pm
>> yeah, i think this perception that many people say is not a perception to your point in that what most americans read or listen to have inherent bias, that's at the heart of this argument, where it goes from here legally is questionable, if you look at the stocks, google, alphabet, up 35% and beating every other market that we have, so -- neil: not to chabby. diedre, thank you very much. either way, when you own the market, you own it when it goes down, the read from a former treasury secretary who on that point agrees after this at fidelity, our online u.s. equity trades are just $4.95. so no matter what you trade, or where you trade, you'll only pay $4.95. fidelity. open an account today. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else.

neil: 1:00 p.m. on the east coast. we have stocks up about 22 points here. a little bit of gains from earlier today, about 70 points have shrunk a little bit. a lot of back and forth on the trade deal. whether what we got with mexico is much to write home about or not, depending who you are reading and watching. let's get the read from edward lawrence in washington, d.c. he just had a chat with the mexican economic minister. edward. reporter: he obviously believes this is a huge deal for the mexican government. he also says like the trump administration, the trump administration believes that canada will sign on to this and canada needs to sign on according to them. in an exclusive minister with
1:01 pm
the man who negotiated this deal, he believes that canada will be forced to sign on because of economic issues. you just negotiated a revised nafta deal or as the president calls the united states mexico trade agreement. would you like to see canada come in? >> definitely. let me tell you. when we have finished is a very important step towards giving the mexican economy certainty. we have an understanding in the totality of u.s.-mexico commercial relationship that can in the basis, when canada joins in to come very quickly to trilateral agreement. that's what we have. reporter: the canadian foreign minister who does their negotiations will be here in washington, d.c., later on today meeting with u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer. they, canada, have until friday to sign on to the original
1:02 pm
agreement, the original paperwork here. however canada can still sign on. canned when the u.s. trade representative send as letter to congress. that start as 90-day clock, when congress looks over the agreement for ratification. canada can sign on up until that ratification, somewhere around the end of november. >> i think that we would like to make a good deal with canada. we said that many times. we've been negotiating with them quite some time unsuccessfully. i think they would like to make a good deal. that good deal, has to include among other things, intellectual property rights. reporter: this deal with mexico does incorporate protection for intellectual property. white house economic advisor larry kudlow, that canada has to talk about specifically about dairy products milk and cheese. that is something that canada is not willing to talk about up to now, but something the white house believes they need
1:03 pm
to address. the united states-mexico agreement has forced canada to come to the united states, come to washington here for meetings. this is a new day, a new day on trade negotiations. back to you, neil. neil: i like the way kudlow worded that. we would like canada a part of deal. would be a pity if we don't. edward lawrence, thank you very much. president carter with me a few minutes ago talked about how trade is important, and warned the president not to botch it. neil: he mentions that a lot. thinks they're very important. what do you think? >> markets were very important to me because i thought the having a fair and equitable relationship with as many countries around the world as we possibly could, friendship with them and maximum favor with them was good for america in the long term and good for individual americans as well. neil: so if we have a deal with mexico and canada has to wait,
1:04 pm
what will the markets do with that and does the president own the same markets if they go south? you know the drill here. "wall street journal" editorial editor, bill mcgurn and fox business's kristina partsinevelos. building notion on this that the president has to move carefully here. what do you think? >> look the mexican minister says the best part it removes uncertainty. of the president trump threatened to blow up nafta. people are happy it is not blown up. because they are happy about that because they would accept some parts of that that they would not accept in principle. for example, the new figures for the message of domestic content for a car. we're pretty much unreagain rat free traders. i don't really liked planninged part of the deal. in europe -- neil: you said this is worse, the editorial says this is worse than what we have? >> look in europe the president is pursuing the policy right one on cars.
1:05 pm
our ideal world they have zero tariffs on our stuff and they have zero tariffs on their stuff. in mexico it seems to be a little bit different. we want to negotiate a form ma for managed trade. we're not managed trade folks. neil: right? you disagree? >> well, i think something is going on here the elites of the corporate world are missing big time and -- neil: mcgurn. >> no really, there is something going on it was already a managed deal, nafta. so, if it is managed at 62.5% of parts, automobiles being assembled in north america, some people thinks 75% means more opportunities for american workers to get a job. the initial reaction yesterday, one of the best reforming group in the market were auto parts companies. borgwarner surged, up four or 5%. the markets seemed to like it yesterday. i think the american worker will like it. i think those people are worried
1:06 pm
about flight because of for economic reasons, would a 16-dollar threshold, obviously helps mexico, but again, these mechanisms were already in place. so i think if you're dealing with the hand you're dealt, in this particular case, this is what trump was dealt, to bill's point, if he wanted to drive a harder deal and blow this whole thing up, we could have been talking about something that could have gone on months or years, maybe not getting done. i think market is -- the elites have to be very careful. always talk seems like they're talking about corporate profit margins when they push back. gallup survey, 18 to 29-year-olds rejecting capitalism. young adults in america are rejecting capitalism because of this kind of stuff. >> i may interject this deal being done. it has to go through congress for 90 days. canada has par men terri
1:07 pm
process. i don't think they will be on board with this. neil: you don't think canada will be on board? >> i think they have time. there is quote from the prime minister, prime minister trudeau saying that no deal is better than a bad deal. so they're not going to rush -- neil: he is is not going to be bullied into this? >> that is the whole view. his image is at stake right now. already there is contention -- they're not getting along between the united states and canada. that is being very visible. you have 90 days to go through congress. like edward said in the report, november 30th would be the deadline for canada to join. however the united states is pushing right now, and mexico so say officially this deal is done by this week. why? you have midterms. you have the switchover of the new president in mexico. i think timing for them is really important. to say it is a done deal and it is a win. however nafta will still be in full force for the next six months. nothing is going to change. neil: what do you think, bill? >> i go back to the original point. yes, nafta was a bad, not a bad deal but i think it had a lot of
1:08 pm
managed parts that were not good. i think answer to go in the good direction, in europe, zero tariffs. look, if i were the president from his point of view, not from my point of view, he doesn't like multilateral agreements. he likes bilaterals. he should have gone to britain which needs a deal because of "brexit," to say, we'll have the cleanest deal with zero tariffs. their economy and ours is kind of easiest to do, come up with at cleanest trade deal you can. this is open to any other country. you know, when they talk about the workers, let's be clear, this helps some workers maybe in the car industries but raises prices for other workers, right? the definition of a good company, by definition is almost one that is competitive in the market. neil: but automakers were up on it, to charles's point, they're okay with that, right? >> you know, during this whole saga we saw people, we've done reports from the nail company and done reports from the fishing guy, with, might lose
1:09 pm
his fishing boat. we never did a report, i haven't seen, maybe one of the seven million americans who think they lost their job to trade and maybe their kid who is hooked on fentanyl because his dad didn't have a job, they didn't have anyone to look up. this destruction that a lot of people voting for trump that he would hope he would try to resolve threw these kind of deals. neil: are these deals bringing us in that direction? >> i think it helps. there is no magic bullet. these are complicated multibillion dollar trade deals that have been in place. 24 years. world trade organization, general agreement on tariffs and trade from 1948. they're all antiquated. they need to be tuned up. >> i agree. you're bringing up zero tariffs is the ultimate goal, but given our society across the globe and moving towards national listtic countries, patriotism, how will we ever achieve zero tariffs? >> i think it should be the goal. >> we have subsidies. >> my answer, don't increase
1:10 pm
subsidies. >> we just did in the united states recently to offset the tariff. >> it is not good. >> if there is something that you regard as incorrect or incomplete, it seems to me the answer to try to address that, to have a goal, which the president claims to have in europe. and we have a different goal over here. again, we talk about a relief, you said oil companies, these other companies, they love this stuff. it is protection. it reduces the competition. the average joe will see the price of a car go up. neil: but average worker will see his or her wage go up? >> maybe not the average worker, some workers in some protected industries will. other workers will pay more out of their paychecks because of that. >> we had 400,000 new manufacturing jobs since trump has been in office. we were told that was impossible, absolutely impossible to achieve. we have consumer confidence number about, highest since october of 2000. you know, the other part of this is, can, you know, equation is,
1:11 pm
before i'm a consumer i need a job. so i think most americans, at least, those in the heartland will say, before we do the chicken and egg thing, give me a job first. then i worry about how expense system my car is, because let's face it, people in prosperous society, we're not even buying cheap cars, right? we do a segment next on the death of the automobile in the united states. we're buying expensive suvs and expensive crossovers because prosperity is back. neil: kristina? >> the second part of that equation, prices you just brought up, if this deal goes through we have to buy more u.s. local steel to hit the 80% capacity. that inevitably will increase prices in the united states, not just for cars, all aluminum and steel product. >> let's not forget, it will take a while to come on line. imagine this our aluminum capability it at level it was world war ii. we could have a war with china 10 or 15 years. people say hey we could get the
1:12 pm
aluminum and steel from canada? when we need to build warplanes and ships, we're waiting around for a shipment? there is legitimate concern. neil: thank you very much. tone matters to jimmy carter. he doesn't like the tone out of the white house when it comes to everything from the trade issues and treatment of a former u.s. senator. how that matters, or does it, after this.

1:17 pm
now the flag will be lowered in honor of john mccain's service to our country, until appropriate times. so i think, early mistakes that were made have been adequately corrected. neil: all right. that was jimmy carter's way of saying let's move on from this little drama here. but of course it is not moving on from the little drama. back and forth over not only what to make how people are reacting, who will go to the funeral, who will not go to the funeral, issue of possible successors for john mccain. hillary vaughn following it all. reporter: hey, neil. the stakes are high for arizona governor doug ducey who needs to single-handedly to fill the success for for mccain the next two years until voters make their own decision in a special election in 2020. the seat is critical to maintain republican control of the senate. democrats are already eyeing the seat as a potential flip in their favor. the president is watching very closely to see if ducey picks
1:18 pm
someone he can count on to vote in the senate and assure his nominee brett kavanaugh will go through. he will pick a republican on short term. here who is can be the on the short list. cindy mccain has been floated. some are kept call. two former arizona lawmakers. jon kyl and arizona rep john shadegg also an option. the governor may look at an outsider. someone that has not served in congress. barbara barrett, ambassador to finland or one of his closest confidante's kirk adams, his chief of staff. kelli ward mounding his own campaign to take over senator jeff flake. she polling behind congresswoman martha mcsally, if she does not pull off a win. she may be considered to take
1:19 pm
over mccain's seat. she may mount her own challenge for the seat in two years if she isn't picked. governor doocey will make the decision after memorials have completed. if governor governor ducey goes with someone different, he said if arizona doesn't move more towards the middle he thinks there will be a lot of pushback against some of the president's policy, he says the republicans could lose control of the state entirely if they don't move more towards the middle. governor due sy taking all that into consideration as he decides to who fills the mccain seat in the short term. neil: thank you very much, hillary vaughn. what would senator john mccain have recommended? we are told that if he had his druthers he would have governor pick an hispanic woman to replace him. to latina coalition chairman hector barreto. good to have you.
1:20 pm
is that true? did he say that? >> well, that is one of his advisors says. i think it would be a great idea. there is a lot of prominent latinas in arizona i think could do a good job. you know, give them the opportunity to see if they want to run for re-election in a couple of years. but i think that would be very positive. unfortunately probably not going to happen. neil: now, there had been talk again about the senator's wife cindy taking that job on interim basis. muriel humphrey served in that role after her husband died, the late hubert humphrey. doesn't always go well. there is a lot of frustration, a lot of them say you know what, i'm out of here afterwards but how do you envision this all going? >> well the governor will have a very tough decision to make. i'm glad he is paying respects to the family. he will delay the decision until after all the devents and ceremonies. then he has to make a very important decision. he has some good people to choose from. i notice jon kyle is on the
1:21 pm
list, former senator. could hit the ground running. close friend of john mccain's, he could do a great job for two years coming up. neil: while you're here, what progress have if any, republicans made with latinos, particularly in arizona? >> well at a lot more work to do. the hispanic vote will be critical in the elections. there is a late tina running for congress, we're excited about. she is the current ceo of hispanic chamber in arizona. republican party has to do better job reaching out, letting hispanic voters they want their support, they support a lot of ideas and philosophies they have. neil: what is interesting, you and i got into this before, this weird reality, that say what you will of the economy, whether it is all president trump's doing, we are looking at record low unemployment for a number of key demographic groups including
1:22 pm
hispanics and yet it is not translated into a measurable pickup in support, at least on a national basis for republicans. does that surprise you? >> well, again i think there has been a lot of strain in the relationship. this is not something new. it has been going on for a long time. i mean my former boss i think hit the high-water mark. he got 44% of the hispanic vote. no republican has come close to that on a national basis but there is a lot of opportunity because we talked about this before. hispanics are homogenous the way they view issues. i think a lot are independents. they choose on a case-by-case basis. senator mccain had a lot of hispanic support in arizona, he had it for years because he had a great relationship was. they weren't looking at the initial behind his name. they trusted john mccain. more republicans have to do the groundwork in the hispanic community especially with all the growth haing in our market and our community. neil: very good seeing you
1:23 pm
again, hector. thanks for taking the time. >> thanks, neil. neil: jimmy carter says it's a matter of reaching out to everybody to make sure everyone is part of this financial pickup here, the former president doesn't deny it's a pickup, but what are republicans missing? more to the point, what are democrats missing? the read after that. with liberty mutual new car replacement we'll replace the full value of your car. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty ♪

neil: all right. automakers were jumping yesterday on the heels of this, you know, crafted deal with mexico, u.s.-mexican trade agreement. they're going the other way right now. let's get the read from jeff flock, who is looking maybe a bigger, more macro factor for this. sir? reporter: on auto row in napierville, illinois, this is ford dealer. big cheers yesterday, because they didn't want to get nafta blown up because interconnectedness of between mexico and the u.s. because of the supply chain. look at the growth worldwide.
1:28 pm
autos led the recovery. in the u.s. we had seven straight years of sales growth. globally now we're shrinking as we are in the u.s. 2016 we had almost 5% growth. last year 3%. this year, less than 2% growth. and, you know, that is driven not only by the u.s., but also by china. take a look at ford sales in china. in the last month, down 32%. year-to-date, ford and china down 26%. something to do with trade concerns? the chinese stock market not doing too well. confidence over there probably not the highest. speaking of high, come back here for a second. i say we are walking past. that is the ford excursion. last made in 2005. look how big that sucker is. speaking of big, the hit on the german automakers, we reported on this before, in china, for example we have this tariff now.
1:29 pm
cars made in the u.s., shipped to china, big tariff, 40%. now bmw is ceasing to make and ship to china its x3. that potentially takes jobs away in a place like spartanburg, south carolina, where they made the x3. germans making them in the u.s. plant and shipping them oversees. because we don't have a deal with china, they're not doing that anymore. in europe, declining growth. look in europe, 2016 they grew by 10%. this year looking closer to about 3%. you know in some ways autos led the recovery, neil. now autos may lead to the next phase, how many cars do we need you? can't just keep buying new cars. we replenish in the what had been kind of a dearth of sales. now, i don't know where we're going from here. it may not be to the moon. we've already been to the moon. neil: that is true. reality, making them so much
1:30 pm
better they last longer. so you don't need to replace them. reporter: exactly. neil, i don't want to get away without saying what a great interview with president carter. he is the first president i ever covered. you worked for him back in the day as an intern. regardless what you say about his presidency, what a great man to this day. neil: very nice. he is driven by other things. money ain't one of them. it doesn't drive him. so unusual. yeah, we remember him well, don't, we, jeff. we're showing our age, my friend. jeff flock, very good man. a lot more coming up, including implications what is happening on the technology front. this is the time of year where a lot of these companies come out, especially the smartphone makers, samsung, with its latest note phone of the it is huge. it has a huge 6.4-inch screen. word apple will have a model bigger than that i'm telling you they will be like this, big, is what i'm saying.
1:31 pm
event chairs cio ben phillips. ben, obviously apple will promise something for everybody at every price point but bigger is going to be the real moneymaker draw for them and that people won't bat an eyelash at that do you think that's the case? >> that's right. we saw in the last time they went bigger it was successful. you see it walking around the streets. you see everyone walking around with phones look like mini ipads. they thought about slashing the smaller ipad and combining them. between an ipad and a phone you won't know what you're holding anymore i think. neil: i wonder, what is the implication of all of this? a lot of young people i know use these devices rather than traditional laptops for a lot of artwork and computing. they feel that is all they need. >> i think that's right. they are, if you look 10 years ago, these are more powerful than computers then, right? they are little computers we can put in our pocket and fit in our purses or laptop bags.
1:32 pm
it's a mobile high-powered computer we can use pretty much for anything. neil: now the 1000-dollar price point. made a big deal of that. we found out when apple's numbers were broken down, a lot of people were more than okay paying that. we're getting read from samsung is and its galaxy phones. the latest note, also big, also pricey, people are okay with that if they feel they are getting a lot for the money. what do you think? >> to your point, these are little computers people are buying and they are. what is the price point for a small computer i can carry everywhere i can go. they compare $1000 they paid for computer. now they pay $1000 for a phone. maybe don't need to replace the laptop as frequently. neil: thank you very much. >> neil, good seeing you. neil: the effect of the markets with the president talking about that. this president goes after his federal reserve chairman. he appointed jerome powell but it can cut both ways. listen to jimmy carter on the
1:33 pm
same subject. >> i decided paul volcker would be the best choice because i thought he would take steps, even though, it was not good for me politically it, would be good for our economy and for our nation. and so that was one of the most difficult decisions i ever made was to put paul volcker in charge. neil: do you think that cost you the election? do you think that cost you the election in retrospect? >> it was a negative factor in the election. i wouldn't say it was the cause for the election. it was the right thing to do i did it. neil: on the phone now, former bush 43 treasury secretary john snow. good to have you. >> thanks, neil. good to be with you as always. neil: in talking to president carter, sir, i'm reminded of presidents as long as i can remember had a problem with federal reserve chairman or chairman who go too fast hiking interest rates and doing things they don't like them to do, this president is a little different, that is president trump, making it very clear how much he
1:34 pm
dislikes it. jimmy carter might have had concern how aggressively paul volcker was raising rates but he sort of grin an bared it and lost an election. what do you make of that relationship? >> this isn't the first time there has been some tension. neil: right. >> you will remember 41, george herbert walker bush, had trouble with the fed, thinking they were raising rates at the wrong time. neil: right. >> so it's not a big surprise that real estate developer would favor low interest rates. i think the important thing is not what has been said but what has been done. the president has made some superb appointments including chairman powell and two others to the fed and these are first-rate people and, and they will sustain the commitment to an independent fed, i'm sure of that.
1:35 pm
neil: i always wonder, secretary, you were there on the front line when the presidents sort of weigh in on the central bank chief, they always have a problem with this but of course an independent federal reserve is valued. if they do their job right, it could be to the president's betterment, and the country's. not all the time. the case of jimmy carter comes up. what do you think? >> i think carter showed enormous good character, put america above his own election and clearly the volcker years were a high point, were a high point for the fed. but i don't think the fed's independence is at all in jeopardy here. as i say the president has appoint ad strong team. i have the utmost confidence they're going to follow their mandate which is, you know, full employment, non-inflationary full employment. neil: but i wonder, secretary, whether you can't win with this
