4:03 pm
what they agreed to in early mayport port deputy level talks happen next week in washington, d.c. those are critical setting up progress of face-to-face talks which happen in early october here in washington. melissa: there she is. felicity huffman. connell: breaking news, actress felicity huffman sentenced to 14 days in prison. not interested in talking about the sentence. bypassing the cameras. melissa: surprise sentencing. a lot expected her not to get anytime, when you heard experts in the lead up to it. they asked for a month on the sentencing side. she got 14 days there. the judge commenting if you got off with nothing, then the people in your community would have asked why did you get away with this. we'll listen in to see if we can hear anything. >> folks out of the street, please.
4:04 pm
back up. melissa: leaving without commenting. she will begin the sentence in 60 days i believe it was. connell: we'll talk more about it later on in the hour. meantime our market panel, carol roth joins us future file legacy planning creator. and a market reporter from "axios." balance all of this, felicity huffman and markets, keep it in line. very good week for stocks. we're running up supposedly among other things optimism over trade, details leaking out from various sources. we faded at the end of the day today. one of the things happening probability of in the market from quarter point rate cut, almost near certain, 90%, almost certain 80% at the end of the day. almost like this good news bad news situation. i wonder if any will change. what is your take? >> that retail report was a
4:05 pm
little too strong. there is real risk, not us getting rate cut this month. that is factored in. the market wants something, fed chair jerome powell is usually on board with that but i think we're at risk of significant push back for some other members of the fed, particularly esther george. fed president kansas city. you could see pushback from randall quarles, vice president of the supervision. connell: okay. >> if you see pushback in the fed statement this week or next week, we're not getting as many cuts from the fed as market expects and that could be worrisome. connell: if we get quarter point, carol, what we get after that will be one of the concerns for investors. we've been playing that game for a while. what do you think the runup in stocks, money coming out of bond going into u.s. stocks? it has been a interesting week. >> u.s. and china and fed situation it is like a three-legged stool.
4:06 pm
as soon as one turns it affects other legs of the stool. strong consumer, great sentiment, retail sales. that makes the fed part be weak. theoretically we should be excited. we should be excited get get excited about the consumer. market likes to bully the fed like the president, i'm very focused on fundamentals. would rather have clarity on china and strong consumer. melissa: stocks ending in the green. gerri willis on all of this. gerri? reporter: today's market mixed but for the week we're in the green. trade optimism, talking about it on the show. strong retail sales. the consumer is still fully in play. that is very good news. winners this week, jpmorgan chase, caterpillar, dow, those are all companies that benefit from trade or from the strong consumer, or from rate scenario we're seeing at this point.
4:07 pm

4:08 pm
oil snapping a two week winning streak closing down nearly 3% for the week. let's go to phil flynn for all the details on this. phil. >> it really was. this week oil was all about the potential return of iranian oil to the marketplace and really the disappointment that opec didn't do an additional cut this week put us on a negative sidestep. oil prices are trying to hear on optimism the u.s.-china trade deal, if that deal gets done demand expectations will go up. that is a the a time we have to be concerned about u.s. production falling. baker hughes report said the rig count fell by five, lowest since 2017. you might want to lower shale projections. back to you. melissa: maybe. connell: escalating the antitrust fight. house lawmakers asking facebook, amazon, apple, google to turn over internal documents an deirdre bolton live in the newsroom with the latest on this
4:09 pm
story. reporter: connell, a bipartisan group of lawmakers want to see internal documents. these are emails to and from execs at four companies you mentioned by october 14th this is part of a sweeping antitrust investigation. house members demanding copies of email exchanges to and from amazon's jeff bezos, facebook's mark zuckerberg, apple's tim cook, then a lot of the early founders from google. larry page, sergey brin, eric schmidt. judiciary committee chairman, representative jerry nadler saying that the documents will help the committee understand, whether quote, they are using their market power in ways that hurt consumers and stop competition. they provided significant benefits to consumers. they also all maintain that they have competition. in other words each one is essentially tried to say we're not a monopoly. they have also expressed a willingness to work with
4:10 pm
authorities. if you look how the stocks have been performing, facebook is slightly lower today, but up 42% year-to-date. that is best performing of the "fang" stocks. amazon 22% year-to-date. google 18. apple, 38% higher year-to-date. long story short, connell, even with all this pressure, even with all this questioning they are still all-out performing the s&p 500. meantime, their legal teams will not be taking this lightly. this is a big deal. when you're asking for internal emails, that's serious. back to you. connell: sounds like it would be. melissa, thanks. melissa: amazon, facebook under fire. whole foods will no long every offer medical benefit for part-time workers next year. that applies to 2% of its workforce. that balances it out i guess. carol and deion are back with us. we were talking yesterday about all the companies trying to hire new workers. it is across the map. so is this really the time to be
4:11 pm
cutting benefit? >> it probably isn't. almost seems like they're begging for some extra regulation. i almost have a conspiritorial theory on this, if these big guys get regulation in place ends up hurting smaller businesses, make the smaller businesses not compete. all the things going on, even though amazon may say oh, we don't want this, but at the end of the day they may be pushing for that because it will help them in the long run. melissa: i like the suspicious theory, the cynical theory there. deion, the flipside of this coin, whole foods a lot of people complain they have to go back to focusing on their core product and that costs have spiraled out of control. they have to cut somewhere. >> i don't know necessarily this is where you need to cut. whole foods profit margins are pretty strong. they're still delivering good gains for amazon. not like we're in a situation
4:12 pm
where jeff bezos, big daddy bezos needs to cut benefits for employees or cutting down on suppliers, things like that. this isn't a fire-sale by any means. he wants more money in his pockets. that is how it looks especially to folks looking to regulate amazon, a la bernie sanders and folks on the democratic side of the aisle. really feels like he is revving up, giving more ammo. i'm on board with that conspiritorial idea maybe he is trying to bring on regulation. melissa: we'll see. thank you. connell: more to come in the varsity blues aftermath. saw actress felicity huffman coming out of the courthouse being sentenced to time behind bars in the college admissions scram. what does it mean for the so-called rest of cheating elites? we'll talk to remi spencer and the fallout and advice for universities going forward. melissa: challenging white house policies. democratic candidates taking aim at president trump's trade war on the 2020 stage but their

4:17 pm
melissa: right now. felicity huffman leaving court after being sentenced to 14 days in prison for her role in the college admissions scandal. kristina partsinevelos is in the newsroom with the latest. reporter: melissa, huffman cried in court she said i was frightened, i was stupid, i was so wrong, deeply ashamed what i have done. she has now officially been sentenced to 14 days behind bars, 30,000-dollar fine, one year probation, 250 hours of community service. huffman marched into court. didn't say anything. she was with her husband, actor william h. macy.
4:18 pm
you may recognize her, she is the star of "desperate housewives" and she paid $15,000 to rig her daughter's s.a.t. test. prosecutors in court, they didn't hold back at all. they told her that what she did showed little confidence in her children's academic capabilities. they even, they should be angry at their mom. huffman's legal team wanted only to get community service and a fine. prosecutors says amounts to absolutely nothing, huffman worth millions of dollars, and enjoys doing community service. huffman pleaded guilty. lori loughlin, is on "full house." she will fight the chars. huffman is the first parent sentenced to entire operation, varsity blues, the college exam scheme. huffman's daughter will not attend any school next year. melissa: thank you. connell: attorney remi spencer
4:19 pm
joins us right now. we try to assign a message to a sentence from a jury or judge. in this case is there one? a lot of people predicting no jail time at all. at the same time it is hard to get less than 14 days on a crime like this. what do you make of it? >> you're right. the government invested millions of dollars in this case. it garnered incredible press coverage and publicity. the judge's decision as reported here on your network was really well-reasoned and thought out. the judge went through the aggravating and mitt fating factors. -- mitigating factors. i don't think there will be an appeal from either side about the sentence. if the judge did not give her 14 days or anytime in prison, it might appear that she was getting off scot-free. even though that wouldn't have been the case. connell: wonder what it means for the others? some of them could get more jail time, right? as the judge pointed out, her
4:20 pm
bribe i guess was the lowest of them, right? they could get more severe sentences for more of the others? >> you're absolutely right. she is the culpable in this group of defendants. she is the least offensive. her crime is the smallest amount of money. she paid $15,000 to have her kid's s.a.t. score changed, morally, ethically, and legally wrong. but others paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. not just lori loughlin and several other departments who acts are far worse and -- connell: lori loughlin case is interesting because she is fighting it. >> that's right. connell: if you're seeing this and you're lori loughlin, is that the right call or change strategies? >> if i'm lori loughlin's attorney i would not have encouraged her to reject the plea early on. she is not in this situation
4:21 pm
handled it well from a pr standpoint or defense standpoint. she has meant of reasons to be concerned. if at the end the trial she will spend prison time, undisputed. will be over a year, two years, could be much more than that realistically she will be spending years in prison. connell: bigger picture point in all this, we've been covering this for months, talking about the scandal as it were. now that you've seen as much as you have seen, would you have any advice not only parents dealing with the college process but the universities themselves no doubt in a new kind of environment where they ban to make sure that everything, even if it is legal, that it looks right? do you have any advice for the schools that are operating in this, i guess new environment you would think because of this story? >> it should be a new environment this case should be a wake-up call to colleges and universities in this country. it is shining a spotlight on the corruption, in many cases if you
4:22 pm
have enough money, you can buy your way in for your kid legally. so where do we draw the line? if you have a billion dollars to donate to a college, your child is let in, are they being treated differently than the student that can afford it. connell: do you think it will have an effect. >> it will have an effect. you will see more schools like harvard is doing, refusing money from donors in the context of their children going to school. connell: right. when they get into high school, right? >> that is exactly right. connell: a lot of other schools as far as i know don't do that i don't think but you say more will. >> i think more will. it is hard for the schools to turn down money. hard for any business to turn down money. connell: that's right. >> when you look what they're doing, how they're admitting students, how can you be transparent, how can be you honest if the billionaire's child is not getting in but not the average parents child is not getting in? where do you draw the line that the question mark this case
4:23 pm

4:28 pm
nancy pelosi criminal sized for delaying passage of north american free trade deal in congress, it might not be her fault. chad pergram, fox news senior capitol hill producer. when i see the likes of justin trudeau, calling nancy pelosi, visiting her when he is in town, kind of begging her to put forward this deal, in theory the u.s. mexico and canada have agreed to, i naturally blame nancy pelosi for the fact we don't have this deal and, our economy and farmers especially could use it but you're telling me that it is not actually her fault yet? >> well the reason is because the administration, once they think this thing is ready to go, they have to send a letter, send the paperwork to capitol hill to start the clock running. they don't have the paperwork yet and the reason they don't have the paperwork because if they were to send the papers up this would not pass. the speaker is trying to get an agreement on enforcement, actually get that built into the structure of the agreement.
4:29 pm
i talked to house speaker nancy pelosi at her press conference yesterday. i asked her what this would be like if they were to build in enforcement provisions into the actual agreement and it not be a sidecar? listen. what would be different about the construct of the usmca having enforcement built in, in concrete terms, what that would look like? >> all trade agreements are, need to have enforcement or else you are just having a conversation, you're just having a press release. it has to be enforcement within the agreement. >> i know nancy pelosi for a long time here, when she is pretty serious about trying to get an agreement on something, she will push for it. melissa: okay. >> she is serious about this. she wants to get this done. why? because it is good for her members. melissa: chad, a couple questions for those of us not on capitol hill. what is she trying to enforce specifically? >> she wants to say okay, if you will not adhere to the
4:30 pm
agreements -- melissa: like what? >> pharmaceuticals or labor provisions environmental provisions, okay that has to be written in the agreement to say we're out, or you have to pay this fee or whatever it is, this fine, those are the types of things they want built into the actual agreement. melissa: do you know what penalty she wants to be built in? by virtue of the agreement if somebody doesn't do part of it, the agreement is over. if we're out, that doesn't need to be built in, that is the way the deal is, people are not abiding it is over. does she want some sort of penalty? >> whatever would get the votes. she commission ad group of four democrat to work on this kind of working group toiling with robert lighthizer, the u.s. trade representative and whatever that will get the votes, nancy pelosi you have to remember is very pragmatic. if it is fees, if its penalties, whatever satisfies them she could probably put it on the house floor and probably get a lot of democrats and almost
4:31 pm
every single one of the house republicans. melissa: do you think she wants to put the bill? >> yes. because she wouldn't talk about this as actively as it is. she has a lot of regrets about nafta. she cast an aye ballot in 1993. she said in the press conference she wishes there were enforcement mechanisms in there. i've been hearing from sources from capitol hill. it is coming. later this year, maybe november, december. i wouldn't be surprised if it rolls over into next year. she spoke a couple weeks ago with justin trudeau as you said, she would not be working this as actively as she was if she weren't serious. melissa: you're sticking up for nancy pelosi as an honest broker on this issue? >> in a sense, i've seen her body language, i seen how she works when she gets her teeth into topic like this. that is what she is doing. she says if we don't get the provisions i can't deliver the votes and it's a bad agreement. melissa: chad pergram, you're the truth monitor on capitol
4:32 pm
hill. you're like wonder woman's truth lasso. you know exactly what is going on. thank you for bringing that to us. thank you, my friend. connell: chad, thinking through that analogy if it was a comment. the whole wonder woman. melissa: how could wonder woman be an insult. connell: to chad i'm saying. melissa: again how? connell: [laughter]. okay. melissa: bring it back to center here. connell: all right. jeez, we have a lot more to come as we continue here for one thing. helping to save lives one meal at a time. there is a non-profit which we talked about serving thousands of meals. >> is incredible. serving so much food. connell: the work in the bahamas we're following. another thing we're following is the a storm that is near the bahamas. the details on that. melissa: high-taxed state ex-one legendary's investor's move out of the big apple and what other
4:33 pm
investors might follow. connell: most elementary kid students or college plans wouldn't have their plans firmed up you would think. but one tennessee super fan. the florida fourth grader has been offered a four-year full ride to the school. the university said it would cover tuition and fees starting in the fall of 2028. melissa: that's amazing. ♪ oh, here we go. i know i can't play an instrument, but this... this is my forte. obviously, for auto insurance, we've got the wheel route. obviously. retirement, we're going with a long-term play. makes sense. pet insurance, wait, let me guess... flea flicker. yes! how'd you know? studying my playbook? yeah, actually.

connell: taking is had talents to south beach, not lebron james. that was years ago. carl icahn moving his hedge fund from here in new york city to miami saying he would enjoy the warmer client and more casual year-round pace, slow down a little bit. that is a report from "the new york post." a lot of people reading that maybe a bid to lower the tax burden like some others. steve forbes joins us, chairman of forbes media. are you next on this steve, moving down full time to florida from new york? a lot of people are thinking about it obviously. >> actually doing it. certainly in my neighborhood, home state of new jersey, a lot of people have done it. i haven't done it yet, why every financial advisor i talked to, examine your head you shouldn't live in this state because of high taxes. several years ago, hedge fund manager moved down to florida. blew 140 million-dollar hole in new jersey's budget.
4:38 pm
democrats spun it he wanted to be close to his mother. i'm sure he did and liked the extra 140 million he saved. connell: he loved his mom. i'm reading through, flashing numbers on the screen, reading through announcements, wonder how much you can save until you were talking about as well. high earners i read, making 650,000 a year, you can save almost 70 grand a year. that is real money. >> it is not just the money, the hassle of filing taxes going after you. new york state has become very ferocious. if you step in the state they call you a resident. they're not as bad as north korea, they try to shoot you. here they try to take everything you have. connell: there is that. >> that will still not stop the exodus. it is difficult but people are doing it. the politicians are sort of acknowledging, governor cuomo sort of acknowledges it, but they don't do what the problem is, you have too high taxes, too
4:39 pm
high spending. new york state's budget is twice that of florida. the services here, are they twice as good as florida? not even close. connell: as you point out, not as bad as north korea. steve forbes high praise for new york. want to talk to but the debate last night, a little bit. about specific elements of the debate. andrew yang, got a lot of attention. he wants to hand out money. universal basic income, his version of it. here is what he said. >> my campaign will now give a freedom dividend of $1000 a month for an entire year to 10 american families, someone watching at home right now. connell: a lot of people are dismissive of that, handing out money that is a good idea or not, if we don't talk about issue what is going to happen. his point, a lot of jobs will get replaced by robots or artificial intelligence. he claims, retrain something not enough. that something else has to be done. does he have a point there, even if the, the idea of just handing
4:40 pm
out money is not the right idea? what do you think of that issue? >> handing out other people's money. if he was handing out his only would be impressed, these are campaign contributions, not his money. in terms of people moving ahead. we've had worries of 200 years. where we got the book frankenstein, the terrible things that would happen with automation. in 200 years, 95, 97% of the people most of the time have jobs. new jobs are created. 2/3, almost 2/3 of jobs existed back in the early '60s when president kennedy had commission, what do we do about automation, unemployment we'll have, 2/3 of jobs don't exist. we have record number of jobs, record number of occupations. connell: other thing we talked about, i was looking forward to the discussion trade, to see what they would say, the democrats, focus was in their view president trump might be doing wrong, rather than what they might come in and do right.
4:41 pm
listen to a few of the comment on trade. >> this trade war is hurting american families. >> you have a guy in the white house who has been erratic on trade policy. he conducts trade policy by tweet, frankly born out of his fragile ego. >> trump obviously hasn't a clue. trump thinks trade policy is a tweet 3:00 in the morning. connell: all personal stuff, steve. many of them probably agree with the president's approach on trade, the democrats, i don't know. >> the democrats have been lurching protectionist, connell, since the late 1960s. president clinton wanted nafta, other trade agreements he had to rely on republicans to get the votes, his own party was bitterly opposed to it. he attacks trump himself, tweets, sleeping habits rather than substance. there are substance of things you can say about tariffs. tariff is another word for sales taxes, that is the best approach. we can have a real debate. they weren't willing to engage in that they're protectionist,
4:42 pm
they don't believe it. they don't think he is going far enough. connell: makes for an interesting political dynamic. steve forbes, have a great weekend. >> you too. thank you. melissa: health crisis across the u.s. e-cigarette giant juul is weighing options to exempt itself from the proposed vaping ban but escalating lawsuits could backfire on the company. e. but in a world full of talking, shouldn't somebody be listening? so. let's talk. we are edward jones. with one financial advisor per office, we're built for hearing what's important to you. one to one. edward jones. it's time for investing to feel individual.
