will rush to the restaurant. and they will tear continue to can pair to chick-fil-a. [laughter] >> on that, we will leave it there. that does it for us. >> democrats and republicans, a battle over fake tech. on the hunt for e-mails from many of the biggest companies in the world. mark zuckerberg, tim cook just to name a few. lawmakers looking for financial documents and lawmakers with us to explain what they want from facebook. felicity huffman gets 14 days behind bars.
6:01 pm
it's scandal in american history, we will break that down. justice department officials on that. plus, the fight over slavery, political fallout and legal fallout. companies getting sued, for people getting sick and new questions over the consequences of cracking down. also tonight, fox news reporting attorney general william barr not received a report from the justice department on allegations of abuse. attorney general trump saying flavored e cigarettes, "wall street journal" reports they are considering pushing back part of a proposed ban on mental and mint flavored vapors. 80% are from flavored e
6:02 pm
cigarettes. >> there was a lawsuit filed in chicago today and in this lawsuit, like many of the others, the attorney claims jewel used deceptive marketing tactics to target young people. his client is an 18-year-old but he says he's been using dual products for the past year end a half. everything was fine until about a month ago when he got sick, shaking and vomiting. he had to go to the hospital and that's where he claimed doctors told him he had the lungs of a 70-year-old. we heard from him in a press conference today. >> i got addicted, that's why i continue to do it. i started because they advertised toward me. i like the flavors, i wanted to fit in. >> juul denies any wrongdoing, telling us we have never marketed to youth and we never
6:03 pm
will. our market is the over 1 billion adult smokers worldwide who should have the opportunity to switch to vapor projects if they desire. what might complicate this lawsuit is that teenager admitted to using thc vaping products. they are looking into whether they are linked to the deaths or illnesses that they are investigating. you mention the ban on flavored vaping products. at first juul said it would support a van but now there are reports that are push back that they might want to keep mint menthol flavors on the market because there are already menthol cigarettes. if somebody wants to switch, they should be able to have mint or menthol e cigarettes. mint is one of its top selling flavors so there's business incentives behind that as well. >> twenty me now is a "wall street journal", bill. so the "wall street journal" board from the states ignored
6:04 pm
they want you to quit smoking as well adding that this band will send smokers back to the pack. he could reverse the decline of smoking rates. the decline of smoking rates, it's been ongoing before vaping so the risk of letting it go down a little further versus maybe introducing a whole new group of people of smoking, young adults, teens or others. >> the main part, the main focus is the primary law here is law of unintended consequences. we know the raping helps smokers quit or move to plus harmful but we don't know there's been i think six deaths linked to vaping. how many was from vaping
6:05 pm
standard cigarettes, that they fought legitimately and how much is black-market and how much was involving marijuana or the active ingredient in it? we don't know all that. what is the black market stuff? if you ban it, you're going to find videos of how to make your own cartridges and so forth. that's a danger, we should have more knowledge before we go forward. >> there's no doubt about that. one of the manufacturers is calling for a distinction, industries want some oversight like most industries, particularly those, but this climate is one where both sides of the aisle seem to be pressed
6:06 pm
when things like this happen to move quicker than perhaps in the past. >> i agree. quicker is not necessarily better. when you legislate, you should achieve your goals and not have these unintended consequences which might be a bigger black market with deadlier products and so forth. i really believe this is a private sector issue. my family, our basic approach to smoking as if we can catch it, we will kill you. [laughter] and vaping, we don't want to do either. my wife takes the approach to me, have three cigars with your friends outside on the porch. we have to reintroduce our responsibly. >> i can have six, by the way. in february, knock that out when it's freezing. juul is an interesting predicament. with so much of their money coming from the e cigarettes, when i heard them mention menthol, i think i will add even more because menthol cigarettes
6:07 pm
have been pointed to as being deliberately marketed toward black americans, nine out of ten smoke menthols. they are easy to become addicted to and harder to get off and because of the components, they lead to more deaths, the chemical toxicity is even more harmful. >> i'm not familiar with all the science, i can't speak to that part but it does show the full vulnerabilities of these many factories have is one, legislation. the other, the lawsuits. what they are worried about is the lawsuits. you don't know where that's going to go. a lot of them was like a deal where they at least have the security but they won't be sued on a, b or c. >> at the board meetings, there's a massive push back against free market. there's a lot of intervention going on, a lot of things going on whether it's trade or whatever, that goes against the orthodoxy that has been on the "wall street journal"'s.
6:08 pm
>> it's pretty a life there. >> are you smoking cigars there? >> pretty much. take out up with mayor de blasio. >> when you see a shift happening, the left has always been hot on the markets. they like government but now you have the right for different reasons, kind of thinking answer is back to the market. i don't think that's the answer. the answer is to rely on competition, have faith in that. i don't think there are any solutions that go after the market. i think the right will regret it if they succeed. >> i would suggest montecristo number two should be there. something coming out our short time ago, resigned from the board of apple two thing in several months before each company launches their own streaming service. to the water market, dow and
6:09 pm
nasdaq are up three weeks in a row. stock exchange, with details. >> market has been a mix for the day. dow up 37 points. s&p down to, nasdaq eight down 18. all three major averages finishing in the green, on pace for the third straight week of gains. the idea that we might get a trade deal between the u.s. and china and retail sales, the story is still intact even at this time. meanwhile, francis think they will block develop mix of facebook's digital currency, not sure how they can do that technically but they are very critical of it. it could create risk for consumers and threaten sovereignty of government. interesting story there.
6:10 pm
>> a tropical storm threatening the bahamas. fox news is on the ground with the latest. >> a new storm is heading this way and for the people who can at least -- can't afford any more damage, storm rains could hit the northern islands of the bahamas. the area is crushed by hurricane dorian for less than two weeks ago. here's what that scene looks like. with entire neighborhoods crushed, some do what they can to try to establish order. alone without electricity, they watched, closed or cover roofs with tarp. a few hammers standing in the sea of destruction. others lack the strength. this woman uses plywood for the remains of her house to shield her from the sun. she lays alone in the ruins. the landscape all around cut apart by category five wind. this used to be a three-story house, the storm was so powerful it ripped off the top and flipped the entire house upside down.
6:11 pm
the destruction here is so intense, so thorough, most families are not thinking about rebuilding. the proper choice whether to bulldoze everything and start new or just leave the island. people here say they have yet to see anyone from the government. this man hoped to salvage something from his home. >> nothing. abed, my stevie, everything gone. everything gone. >> the search for bodies in the northern bahamas continues. the government is confirming 50 dead which still 1300 people missing. back to your. >> next up, white house democrats and republicans are teaming up against the biggest names in tech. e-mails from mark zuckerberg, and felicity huffman -- the biggest ever college admissions
6:12 pm
cheating scandal. i get it all the time.

6:16 pm
>> the committee is doing more than just watching an impeachment rope. they are now demanding internal e-mails from some of the biggest names in the tech world. leaders of the house judiciary committee want documents and e-mails from apple, facebook, google's parent company at amazon. lawmakers want to know about possible anticompetitive measures. his comes as attorneys general from all 50 states, writing their own investigations. there's been a lot of tension between big tech and congress. states back to a series of senators had with mark zuckerberg followed by a major hearing. kevin mccarthy says it's important tech companies strike a balance between their size and what they know about consumers. >> just because you are, doesn't mean you're anticompetitive but
6:17 pm
we want to make sure they are. why wasn't sears becoming amazon? they have the catalog stores and everything. they had the competition. what are people are gathering about our own information? i think that's a philosophy of private property. when it comes to privacy, shouldn't we know what someone is able to gain from us? we should be able to move it and delete it. >> jerry nadler said the documents will help the probe as they come across growing evidence that corporations have captured an outside shared commerce and communications. >> the firms argued that they act as monopolies. the congressman david coulter answers evasive. >> with me on the phone, debbie. thank you for joining us. we always root for bipartisanship from capital hill
6:18 pm
and we got it. do we want to? it seems like part of the probe is the anti- competitiveness and maybe under the guise for anti- trust and then there's the privacy issue. what part you think is more prevalent and can you argue to our audience or convince our audience that this is a mission looking for problems that may not exist? >> i think we need to balance this. we don't want to hurt businesses in the u.s. but we also want to make sure that there's competition. that's why i think it's been bipartisan for the judiciary committee to request documents just to see if there's anything
6:19 pm
back. we have to educate ourselves first, i think that's a good first step. however, i also agree with kevin on the privacy issue. i think his concept that we customers, should own our own data, it's a really good concept. i also serve on the home and security, we have called some of them in and there's totally different issues there. some of my democrat colleagues are worried about racism and that type of thing. the conservatives are concerned about filtering out conservatives. i think there's a lot of multitude of issues but the judiciary committee is concentrating on trust issues, are they are and is there anything there? i think it's a good first step. let's not go crazy. let's make sure we are not overstepping our bounds.
6:20 pm
>> on the privacy part, if americans are willing to give up privacy or access other things, should the government force itself or should we allow that to exist between the businesses and customers? >> i think that's something we need to hash out. but certainly, i don't think most people really realize how much google, i have an android phone, i think it is convenient. that's why so many people use them. but how much information that they are gathering and able to monetize that, i don't think people realize it. maybe we need to educate the
6:21 pm
public a little more. >> we are getting away a bunch of stuff freely. we love pouring our souls into these devices. on the idea that ultimately, breaking up these companies or dismantling recent acquisition, that be part of the solution? >> i don't know yet. i think this is just the first step at least from the judiciary committee, trying to find out more information and facts with the request for documents is. so we'll see where this leads us. i'm a free market person. i believe it's hard businesses and small businesses. we don't want to stifle that in our country. we are a free society so it has to be this approach. >> thank you.
6:22 pm
we've got our eyes on other stories tonight. the attorney general revealing court documents that they have uncovered 1 billion and wire transfers to conceal millions of dollars in transfers to themselves. there behind the oxycontin mak maker, some of the transfers went through swiss banks. thousands of governments and two states reach settlement with the family earlier in the week. they are agreeing to a pay $11 billion to resolve most claims from the campfire in 2018 and fires from 2017. insurance companies wanted $20 billion, 86 died in the campfire. at least four people are staying, several thousand evacuated after rains and

felicity huffman has been sentenced 14 days in the college admissions scandal, the first parent in the case to be sentenced. molly, a lot of people shocked by this. >> what does this mean for the other defendants who will likely be hurt in the upcoming months? is this the benchmark that other parent chose to plead guilty will be facing flex felicity huffman is the first parent to plead guilty. the first to face justice. she admitted what she had done.
6:29 pm
she stopped and apologized to the parents, the colleges, she did not speak to the media that was waiting for her as she exited the courthouse. she did release a statement saying i will try and live a more honest life. she pled guilty to this one conspiracy in may, she admitted she paid the $15000 to ultimately get the exam corrected on her daughter's behalf. plus one month in prison, they got less than what they were calling for. they argued most parents do not step over the line. government lawyers argued for probation and community service and for judge determined prison time was warranted. saying she knew what she was doing was wrong. it was not an impulsive act. trying to be a good mother does
6:30 pm
not excuse this. potentially trials and some of these cases, what could this potentially mean for these parents getting closer and closer to their day in court. the other famous face in this case, laura gluckman. felicity huffman has had repor reports. >> thank you. joining us now, d.o.j. official tom, i want to get your reaction to the sentence. most of the legal scholars i spoke to said there was no present record, pled guilty right off, probably wouldn't get any time. prosecutors normally ask for 30 days to begin with. >> the question is whether the judge will sentence her to jail or not. that's not half of what they recommended. from the judges perspective, she
6:31 pm
clearly knew what she was doing was wrong. the judge was conscious of the need to send a message to people to deter others from doing this. that's why she decided jail time was warranted. >> this sort of anti- where the pushback against wealthy people who don't pay the same price for any crime that others do. this feels like a round flow in the country, they could benefit this as well. >> judges don't live in a vacuum, they live in the same communities we do. they watch the same shows most people do so they are very well. this was a concern had we not had the double standard in this country, one for the rich and elite and one for everyone else. i think the judge took this very seriously her duty to impose a sentence without favoritism and
6:32 pm
apply the law to facts and conduct. >> felicity huffman sentencing has social media buzzing about lori loughlin's fate. $500,000, a lot of things were alleged here. this is really where huffman was trying to be a good mom, this was a lot more deceitful if she's found guilty. >> i think not only lori loughlin and other that will go through this have to look at this position as a benchmark of sorts. i think i can't help but look at what huffman did and what they did and try to figure out where they went wrong. i think huffman was probably closer to the end, not as bad as what others do so the others
6:33 pm
seen that huffman is going to jail, they have a tough road ahead. >> is it too late to change their pleading? >> not at this time, she said she would accept whatever sentence they dish out. >> thank you. next, 2020 democrats, elizabeth warren may lead to this more and more about why a democratic president might have an uphill battle when it comes to reversing trump tax cut. forcing this to set with the aircraft carrier. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better.

6:36 pm
but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are
6:37 pm
swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid. fun fact: 1 in 4 of us millennials have debt we might die with. and most of that debt is actually from credit cards. it's just not right. but with sofi, you can get your credit cards right - by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. you can get your interest rate right - by locking in a fixed low rate today. and you can get your money right. with sofi. check your rate in 2 minutes or less. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k. trump tax cut, democrats are
6:38 pm
threatening to go the other way. >> the administration pushing tax cut 2.0. larry kudlow making the patient to house republicans that they are retreating, the senior administration official says some of these would include tax cuts being extended to expire 2025. we are talking about keeping around the lower marginal tax rate. double while extending personal exemption. he adds that tax cuts 2.0 would help keep the economic expansion going. >> if anything, i think with a global slump, with come to this pretty well. >> kudlow sees something about mid next here on the tax front
6:39 pm
there. the white house also watching for trade front. in china, two items added to the exemption list for tariffs. pork and soybeans. that coincides with confirmation from the department of agriculture that a large soy bean by has happened from china. the goodwill being felt on both sides of the pacific. >> with china's tariffs, we return favor and that the negotiations are moving along nicely. the president said yesterday, we are always available for the deal. >> the talks start up again next week. the progress that will indicate how well the face-to-face talks and head of the trade talks will grow out. >> while the president, the
6:40 pm
different cuts at the debate last night defended their plans that will create more taxes for the middle class. don, so if there's any criticism, maybe from both sides of the aisle, this was a tax c cut, a great positive impact on the economy but middle-class folks probably want the tax cut as well. >> that's just what the democrats are saying. the republicans are think the truth which is every american taxpayer got a huge tax cuts. families with children gotta refundable credit the standard deduction was launched in favor of doubling the personal exemption. top rate was lowered, everybody made a killing on this. this was a great deal. >> trump is the one saying he
6:41 pm
may do a middle-class tax cut and perhaps get something done before the election. there may be some political pressure to do that. the whole doubling standard deduction, we've already also heard payroll tax cut. what you think of that? >> i'm saying we will do tax cuts in the future, it should be clarified. they should say we should do more tax cuts, another tax cut because we've already done one and we should do one every year. the more the merrier, so let's keep going. as a reporter said, one of the things we've got to deal with in the future is some of the tax cuts actually expire away in
6:42 pm
2023 and 25 so one thing, the president will have to do hopefully before the election is make a temporary tax cut permanent because everybody always says the tariffs are so terrible, excreting uncertainty but the idea that tax rates in 2023 and 25 just automatically check back up to where they were under obama. that's the uncertainty. what they go up automatically or not? all congress had to do is nothing. can we agree nothing is the one think they do well? >> inflation, we know it's been talked about inside the administration, we know trump has pondered it. at one time, saying maybe it
6:43 pm
would be sir feeds perceived as elitist that mostly benefits the wealthy. what you say to that? >> i voted for trump for one reason. he promised not to be politically correct. he promised to be a fire shield against the false accusations. the capital gains to inflation is fair. having people pay taxes on the inflation on the investment they've held for 50 years, that's unfair. why should you pay taxes on inflation? that's an incentive to the government to have higher inflation. it's unfair, corrupt trump shouldn't be afraid of a little criticism which he will get anyway. people will walk on water and just say it will swell. >> thank you very much.
6:44 pm
breaking news. trump tweeted saying, while i like the vaping alternative to cigarettes, we need to make sure the alternative is safe for all. let's keep young children from vaping. army secretary makes his case to keep american troops in afghanistan during this hearing. trump plans a legal $300 billion a year for what he claims will close loopholes. we'll discuss that. hmm. exactly.

6:48 pm
president trump meets with the army, testified yesterday on the confirmation hearing on providing a topic including defending keeping troops in afghanistan. >> acting army secretary ryan told senators u.s. forces must remain in afghanistan because the afghans are still not able to fight on their own. >> roughly two to three of the most pacific instigated terrorist organizations on the earth. so we can't take our eye off the ball here until a time where
6:49 pm
there's much more strength within the afghan government. >> described the pace of troops need to stay. >> it's clear you have this capability as well as counterterrorism and strength capability to help the afghan government to continue to grow and mature. >> they are up 28% in august compared to previous months according to the air force. president trump said they increased in the past few days after the 16th american was killed in combat this year. >> the last four days, we have hit our enemy harder than they've ever been to before. and that will continue. >> today, special operations airmen received the nation's second highest medal for valor
6:50 pm
for his actions in afghanistan in 2017. he fought 350 fighters, 15 hours and help evacuate the wounded and exposing himself to enemy fire to run the helicopter. they just arrived in russia, days after trump called peace talks with the group. >> joining me now from the heritage foundation, lieutenant colonel, what's your reaction? >> the complexity of the situation, this is at the heart of the debate. if you pull out, he got no ability to influence what's going on. no intelligence on the ground. you have problems evolving over time but if you do stay in, when does the afghan government get its act together?
6:51 pm
so there's no good option. otherwise that would have been selected. it's one of those things you have to feel your way forward. >> i was struck when the nominee said the afghan would have to grow and mature into this role. how many more decades do they need? how many more americans lives to be sacrificed before they take care of themselves? >> i'm right there with you. i would just assume to pull the plug and go home. but you have to think logically and if we did that, one of the consequences? you got pakistan, china, russia, iran .
6:52 pm
there's a potential for this being thanks ray for the groups like al qaeda, taliban aren't going to be good stewards of that region and trustworthy allies. so it's what we have to work with and we are trying to do the best we can given circumstances. >> we were warned that afghan has a history that goes back hundreds of years, they've never really been conquered. anyone who has tried has been driven out in the past. we are balancing all of these things and some wonder, we don't get much, i think the biggest is probably. can we watch from afar? >> if a problem comes up, you come in and hammer it. it's a trading partner so much as we would get from japan and etc. it's a security matter, it's an important reach in the world, we do have terrorists in that region. so the thought right now is to stay involved at low levels when
6:53 pm
you think about the size of the military and it keeps problems from getting worse over time. we just have to make the best effort we can to get the afghan government along. >> thank you very much. trump attacking democrats declaring negotiated from bad deals on immigration and trade. i've been plotting to destroy you. sizing you up... calculating your every move. you think this is love? this is a billion years of tiger dna just ready to pounce. and if you have the wrong home insurance coverage, you could be coughing up the cash for this. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem, like me-ow.

[applause] and we hope to have as much as 500 miles of wall built by the end of next year. 500 miles, that's what we want. >> president trump with his a agenda on border security. adriana cohen, this is been a pretty good week for the ministration on curbing illegal immigration. the big victory of the supreme court and the numbers that have gone down, the apprehension numbers at the southern border are extraordinary and encouraging.
6:58 pm
>> absolutely, border crossings are down, 61% over just the past few months which is very encouraging and that's because of the president's great policy put in place by putting pressure on mexico to help stem the tide of illegal immigration in the supreme court decision which will have asylum loopholes that are very important. the president is making good on his promise to making america safe. and try to address the border crisis. >> president trump tweeting, illegal immigration costly u.s. over $300 billion a year, there is no reason for this, and things are being set in motion to have this come way down, democrats would make loopholes in a whole lot easier, faster but it all happened anyway. he also said, negotiated trade deals and illegal immigration are tremendous cause and burden to our country, they are both coming along very well, and someday in the not-too-distant future, america will see very positive change. remember america first. we have not heard that line in some time. coming back to sometime for
6:59 pm
