unquote punishment be? >> u.s. officials have to hear those tapes that supposedly exists. they need to have some insight into what's really going on there before anybody can make a call. i does it for us. >> that does do it for us. "bulls & bears" with david asman starts right now. david: from wall street to washington and across the country we talk about topics that matter the most to you and your money. this is "bulls & bears." hi, everybody. thanks for joining us. joining me on the panel today, our very own christina parts and nonetheless. took me a longtime remember that game. liz p., jonathan hoenig of the capitalists is hedge fund in gary kaltbaum, president of cult capital management came on the way from florida to be with us
5:01 pm
today. major headlines out of d.c. the dow ending the day down 327 points. we will break it all down for you this hour with our panel and some very special guests as well. first, the street from treasury secretary steve mnuchin sending shockwaves through the markets. just met with president trump and secretary of state pompeo and we have decided i would not be participating in future investment initiative summit in saudi arabia. markets immediately plunged on the news and what happened to the markets? >> just another big geopolitical then. they don't know if there's a big rift between the united states and saudi arabia. what does that mean for oil markets? should saudis retaliate or not increase production to offset iran's losses and then there is this big arms deal on the table
5:02 pm
which president trump is talked about. it's not insignificant for sure. >> $14 billion has been materialized, so still a lot of money on the table. i do believe it's a bigger picture if you look to chinese markets expecting gdp numbers coming out today. will we see china's economy start to slow, hit that six-point x%. >> i mean common the markets week to begin with. news like this takes more and more out of the market. i don't care how many billions of dollars plan to buy from america. reports of what they did as journalists were actually unbelievable. they carved it up like an animal. this is a journalist trying to do his job. it doesn't matter how many billions of arms will sell. the president comes from this. saudi arabia, it's like an
5:03 pm
islamist cesspool. every accomplishment is just now women can drive and they have movie theaters. >> in bullish markets, bad news can be excused. in bearish markets, all bad news is accentuated. we had cut out today talking about china by the way of just ignoring trump right now because they don't have an election we do. by the way, and mnuchin expected to not go. they may not have met. >> over 300 points in the dow. imagine how much worse all of this with the if we were dependent on oil as we used to be. the trump administration liberated carbon fuels have you talk oil, gas or coal. we are not independent of the world oil markets. people are confused about. we are not completely
5:04 pm
self-sufficient. that's the amazing thing. >> less than 12% of the oils from saudi and real me is 40% on petroleum because of the green energy movement. things are a lot better. >> we need to fill in not offset. and the sanctions coming iran and you've brought up the saudi -- it is horrible. i completely agree. in the business perspective, think of the money the saudi company united states right now. the reported 5 billion in uber a loan. the public investment fund they are investing all kinds of startups. we can't discount that. >> not to mention the bonds they have. kristina: i think it's horrible, inhumane, blatantly obvious what happened. will the president and administration stop doing business? everybody's point of this conference to show faith or will they stop doing business? i don't think so.
5:05 pm
>> the problem is we are in a very momentous time right now vis-à-vis iran. the dimension we are on another sanctions regime and our entire mideast strategy is sort of up for grabs now. it's very uncomfortable to me that so many enemies. >> what do you mean up for grabs? >> saudi arabia and the gulf states generally speaking to confront iran. this is in a position the president taken. we really need to have the saudi center can. what's alarming is turkey is looking at this as an opportunity to divide us from saudi arabia. obviously cheering us on. this is really -- >> i just got back today to think the head of the joint may have done this and we're supposed to trust the thought process of this person that supposedly going to change the culture for saudi arabia.
5:06 pm
>> it doesn't even matter if there's actual military response. we talk about the bully pulpit of the presidency, and call a spade a spade and call it out for what it actually is. >> knows more about this region than any of us put together. president trump on his way to montana stopping to take some questions say that looks the "washington post" columnist jamal khashoggi is in fact that any spending for answers from saudi arabia. >> we are waiting for the result about three different investigations and we should be able to get to the bottom fairly soon and i'll see you on the plane. >> whether you're considering possible consequences based on mouse? >> you'll have to be very severe. it's bad, bad stuff. we'll see what happens. >> joining us now is volleyed ferris, fox news national security and foreign policy analyst and former trump campaign. great to see you whalid.
5:07 pm
we can't completely cut her ties to saudi arabia because of oil, because we need them with iran in a whole lot of other things dealing with isis, et cetera. our relationship with them is going to change. in what way? >> it isn't my field. with the president is trying to do from the moment they could be a rogue action under the level of policymaking in saudi arabia is to precisely save the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia even if there are punishments are sanctions because any co-ops with saudi arabia means three things immediately. we were just discussing this. we will fail or have trouble in wrenching or implying sanctions on iran. if the saudi's eyebrow, don't expect the uae to stay hidden. don't expect egypt, bahrain, maybe jordan. >> we know we need them, but the question is how a relationship change? i know they have a lot of crown
5:08 pm
princes over there. i'm told by one of the panelists it got to thousand of them. is it a matter of changing the crown prince or what? no, no, not so simple. mohammed bin salman is the nerve center of the regime. think of the alternative. you're going to get the muslim brotherhood as an alternative. not another social democrat or liberal. sacking, the control of the reforms in saudi arabia would be set back. i'm not happy with the situation but that's the reality of it. in terms of sanctioning weddings to be sanctioned, sending the mother of all message that not having that relationship. >> you touch upon. my name is christina partsinevelos. does that mean stopping short and not sanctioning the prince himself, not his father as a whole. >> just the opposite. sanctioning the people who have committed this as high as
5:09 pm
possible and if orders are given from the top, and then we have to put in pressure for the change. now before we get the information. second, remember we've been preparing an air of coalition. it would be nothing if that happened. thirdly to relaunch the peace process between israel and the post and in. as the backbone of this? each of saudi arabia. but be careful while we are proceeding here. >> it also sounds like you think mbs is the best of all worlds over there. is that what you're saying? is that how bad it was over there who would take his place? >> yes in a sense. i've been following the reforms in saudi arabia. in five years, six years we may make it another structure but between now and five and six years. he's in charge of these reforms. better would be to put pressure on his regime to do different
5:10 pm
policies to make a strong declaration about never doing this. in addition to back him in legal system in saudi arabia reagan punished. there are many options you can take on just sounding the alarm. we have to be careful while we are engaging in that direction. >> it seems there are opportunities to have an exit strategy here. i assume that's what our government and the saudi's frankly are working towards. i don't mean that they get off stock free but some group of individuals inside of those responsible for this and mohammed bin salman is eliminated from that group. i don't see how we otherwise move forward with all the things you've talked about, there has to be a group of people basically targeted for this assassination which is what it looked to be unpunished. is that basically what's going to happen here? >> i agree with you. the saudi probe first and maybe another type of probe will take
5:11 pm
place. while bubble there was a decision to engage in the initial decision to go and kill him or with the initial decision to go and bring him. there's a big difference between notes. if it's below the highest level of concern, then we could work it out in the solutions. if it the highest one we have a problem. >> jonathan hoenig. the mysterious regime to latin american spirit are americans allowed to travel to saudi arabia to visit? >> yes. we have so many companies there. thousands and thousands of americans going there. maybe some americans cannot go for religious reasons. that's a different story. where the center is. men and women can travel there. of course you have what they should wear. it's tectonic. if we do not pay attention,
5:12 pm
everything that has been improved will collapse. >> i think back to the shah of iran. he was an awful dictator but he was replaced by the dictators and he did much worse. >> that's a concern i have because we know who the opposition forces are backed by the muslim brotherhood. we want to be very careful to send a strong message to the leadership in making sure whatever has been achieved is not lost. david: partsinevelos, great to have you on. a market mover today. president trump threatening to close the southern border as a caravan of migrants makes its way through mexico. latest developments from the white house in the week to former acting i.c.e. direct their tom homan. he is here next.

5:19 pm
people? >> first though let's be clear i heard the soundbite saying that god take care of these refugees. when they show up on immigration court in its come if they show up, more than 87% of those are cases don't qualify. so that is first. on an earlier show, this is about getting to the united states to get a better life. i can't blame them for that but they need to do it the right way. they cannot respect the laws. second of all, there's more of this caravan coming. congress needs to get off their and do their job. i've been up on the hill when i was i.c.e. direct her. secretary nielsen telling what are the loopholes. whether republican or democrat you'd want to secure the border. no downside on that. >> this is gary kaltbaum. we've given billions to
5:20 pm
honduras, guatemala, salvador. we just caught a major trade deal with mexico. this money not talk with these countries to prevent these things from happening? >> money talks. we've got a warrior is a president. we've got to take one thing at a context. billions of dollars go to these countries every year. people who live illegally in this country works in money back for their families and home countries and billions of dollars every year so we've got to keep that in mind. i can understand pulling back from foreign aid but we need to look at remittances and hitting them there also would make a big difference. >> how effective can the mexicans be at halting this caravan at their border? i understand the need some sort of passport or something to get into mexico. why can't mexico take that burden off her shoulders? >> i've been saying for a couple days about the president talking
5:21 pm

5:22 pm
400%. but then again, in the list of loopholes and legislative changes, we want mandatory either side that they refuse to do it. as far shutting down the border, president reagan dead at. i remember sitting in my cruiser at a port of entry that was close because they're looking for a dea agent and president reagan was holding them accountable. we have mexico accountable back then. mexico responded to your >> hi tom, jonathan hoenig. as you said, most people are simply looking for a better life, a better american dream at a time when american employers are looking for employees, why would we stop them at the border? why would we take some of the jobs and build the economy? >> if we need low skilled label or this type of labor, how congress open up the labor market, whatever. we cannot condone illegal aliens

5:29 pm
engineer plans because they believe this american company and the cofounder who is a chinese u.s. citizen still employees, also stole -- >> kaman, we know it's china that the one. >> obviously china -- my biggest worry is this has been going on for a lot of months now. we've got mexico, canada, china going on. they have no reason to get a great deal done so quickly. i think they're just waiting on it. the only thing we have in our court right now, say they did six points at 1% gdp, not true. they have used twice in the last couple of months. people in china are getting upset and starting to bubble up a little bit. hopefully that moves them because this has to get done. whatever the answer is going on right now.
5:30 pm
>> i really disagree. a lot of pressure on china. under pressure for almost a year now. the markets way down. but that's because the outlook for the economy and as you say we don't know how bad the economy is. probably worse than the reporting at this point. but also, president xi jinping has become a target for criticism, which is actually unheard-of as of 24 months ago because people are not sure he's doing the right thing i've been so staunch opponent. they just lowered tariffs on 1500 products. china has very high tariffs. a lengthy article in "the wall street journal" about what we're doing vis-à-vis china. we are active on 10 different fronts. just today they changed the way the world post office assesses postal rates on china. they had a ridiculous thing that'll save as this $300 million a year. >> jonathan todd about that a little bit.

5:32 pm
>> products that come into the united states of course will hurt the economy. i don't think china will back down. china is trying to dominate. they have been made in china 2025 manufacturing. in their own currencies they are the largest holder of u.s. debt. helping will start to pay that would be a fire sale may lose out. i do not think we should discount how hard and how long they played this game. >> their entire business model had a very strong plan to further consumerism they had to flip that on its head. this is hurting them. >> they have ghost towns. i was in china last year. it's also hurting us to now.
5:33 pm
>> the guidance down because those tariffs, you say it affects china, fine. it affects us, too. their support gets better. >> how can any control, and the only reason china has gotten where it is now is because it they open up their economy. the control of unfree economy could never dominate. the reason it dominated us because we've been the most free. >> the truth is we should have done this 10 or 20 years ago. i blame the chamber of commerce crew. >> stop them from doing what's in there. >> by the way, we are putting people in jail. that's one of the wonderful things happening. i understand this is going to ding our economy slightly.

(roger ) before i'd think of the stuff i might miss. but now with keytruda, we have hope. (avo) living longer is possible. it's tru. keytruda, from merck. ask your doctor about keytruda. every call is different, so the only thing that we can do to make sure that we get there safely, and that we leave that scene safely and go home at night, is train. and we train all the time in the fire service.
