wilbur ross says the chinese must show us something this week. >> if they aren't prepared to give on anything we're not going to get anywhere. >> right, right. >> remember what we need is to correct the big imbalances, not just the current trade deficit. but also structural imbalances, impediments to market access, disrespect for intellectual property. forced technology transfers. so it is more complicated than just buying a few more soybeans. reporter: chinese trade sources calling this preliminary talks this week. they want to focus on how to get a win-win deal for china and the united states. our sources say chinese invited to a farm tour of the midwest in an effort to meet people, there the retaliation has affected. build good will i'm told from the u.s. secretary of agriculture. the white house still believes this maximum pressure campaign with the tariffs will ultimately work. >> we thought we were pretty

close. they pulled back. that was a great disappointment. the president then took some tougher actions. he, since then, president has not been satisfied with the progress, but, again, as a sharp negotiator, the president keeps saying, we must talk. >> yeah. reporter: the white house watching the situation with iran where the foreign minister there saying there would be an all-out war if the the u.s. strikes. i can tell you from the white house the treasury department is working on sanctions, putting together sanctions at the moment as we speak against iran, which would increase the pressure so to speak against the regime and further isolate it. back to you. melissa: edward, thank you. connell: no surprise president trump is once again criticizing the head of the fed, following the rate cut. here is what he had to say about that today. take a listen. >> i don't think he knows how to play the game real well. they raised too fast. i've been saying this openly. they have lowered too slow. so i'm not thrilled with the fed.

despite that we have incredible economy. we don't have inflation. connell: reaction from the panel earth doug flynn joins us, bubba horowitz the trading show host. is he saying that openly, that jay powell, don't quote-unquote know how to play the game? you have to define what the game is in your view first? >> i think he is just trying to play them. if you go back a year ago, when they were raising he was talking about cutting. everybody was like, cutting? we're talking about raising. he starts to slow down, now cutting. he is talking about zero% interest rates. he wants wind at his back. he doesn't want any headwinds. he is trying to manipulate what he wants, which is easy money and keep the markets going. connell: maybe someone to blame too, todd. people brought that up. at the same time this is background noise for what is going on or not going on when edward lawrence is reporting on. are you getting hint of any

progress or lack thereof that markets or investors should bet on? >> i don't think investors should bet on anything because anything could happen in this deal but i do think president trump is right about rates. i'm not a big fan of the fed, i said many times. however in this case the global economy is melting down and everybody is at negative. so, why shouldn't we lower because basically last time our money we're paying interest on. we're lending mon when i in somebody buys treasury bonds. everybody is negative. why shouldn't we go lower? powell falling into the same trap as every other fed chair. he was a treat guy that understood. he got into "the glass house." he doesn't know what is going on anymore. melissa: airbnb is planning to go public next year. gerri willis has the details. reporter: melissa, that's right. we have very few details indeed. expected to come public next year 2020, we don't know when. we expect possibly a direct listing getting those pesky investment bankers out of the

people, but as you grow, you know you become a target of so many different things. seems like they're trying to get ahead of that, with the renewable move? >> i think he's great. i think's going to get it done. he is so far from a little bookstore, right? melissa: yeah. >> he built this conglomerate, multibillion-dollar, almost trillion dollar company. he will get it done. it is great they're hiring. they pay well and i think the stock will continue to grow because they continue to take more retail business and everything else they're getting involved in seems to be successful business with their cloud service which is the best. melissa: it's a good consumer experience. thank you. todd. connell: phil flynn is out in chicago. phil? reporter: it was an incredible day. oil price were higher than they are now. based on reports that saudi arabia is importing oil from iraq.

hawley, who called for a third party audit of the company to prove their platform was not rigged to conservatives. that was not a friendly meeting. hawley said he caught zuckerberg off-guard with his questions he told the ceo he thinks he should sell instagram and whatsapp. he said talk is cheap. until he does that he has major concerns about the company. he met at dinner with senator mark warner and senator richard blumenthal who wants facebook broken up because he thinks tech is too big. when asked whether he talk with zuckerberg said that was a bad idea, blumenthal has a long way to go before he changes his mind. >> even though we differ, i because impressed about the thoughtful comments on privacy. i'm hoping that we can work together on that area, even as

we may differ on other issues. reporter: he will also be meeting with senator john cornyn at some point later this evening. on top of all the other topics, data privacy, antitrust concern. there is looming question. cryptocurrency. a lot of lawmakers are not friendly to the fact that facebook wants to get into their own cryptocurrency with libra. melissa: hillary, thank you very much. connell: draw as crowd, that mark zuckerberg. melissa: libra is the last thing they would let them do right now. they're so worried about everything going on the site, whether it is bots or privacy or everything else. let's let them have a currency now. what a great idea. connell: doesn't seem like a lot of fans out there. whether or not they would be forced to spin off instagram. i don't see that but we'll talk about that coming up. muddling through the middle east tensions from the u.s. and iran. fall out from attacks on saudi oil facilities reached new heights. we'll have that. phil flynn talked about it at

before leaving abu dhabi he responded to foreign minister zarif, warning of all-out war if there is an attack on his country. >> this was act of diplomacy while the foreign minister of iran is threatening all-out war, threatening to feefight to the last american. we're here for a coalition maintaining peace and peaceful resolution. reporter: pompeo said the regional allies have determined that it is abundantly clear that iran is responsible for this week's attacks on saudi arabia infrastructure and fingerprints of iran's ayatollah put the global energy supply at risk. iran denies responsibility for the attack. zarif says iran does not want to engage in a military confrontation though iranians will not blink to defend their country. iran also refuses to negotiate with the united states until the u.s. rolls back sanctions that it put on iran after the u.s. withdrew from the iran nuclear deal last year. administration officials

promised the exact opposite. they say more sanctions are coming. u.s. officials also say intelligence shows the drone and cruise sis mill attack against the oil facilities came from southwest iran though publicly the pentagon is refusing to say specifically where they think that these attacks came from. they say right now the investigation is ongoing. they will reach a conclusion once they finish working with saudi officials. connell: rich edson live at the state department. melissa. melissa: joining to us react james carafano from the heritage foundation. there is no amount of evidence the iranians would agree to saying you got us. they will continue to say it is based on lies. what is the point going through the exercise, and what is the right response from the u.s. and the rest of the global community? >> first of all the iranian response is really interesting. you know there have been 1200

missile drone attacks on saudi arabia, most of them coming out of yemen. so in some ways this isn't new. the actually launching it from iranian territory, why would they do that? and did they actually know they were going to do such tremendous damage to the saudi oil fields? so i think the iranians may be a bit fits about this they want to take credit for attack but don't want to take credit for attack the iranian response is really weird. melissa: do you think it's a chance it is not them, why would they fire it from iranian territory? you think it is not them? >> well it might be them. maybe the irgc didn't tell the guys upstairs. i don't know. and that is the thing, we don't know exactly what their thinking was. but the mixed messages we're sending now doesn't make it any clearer. the u.s. has to do, what do we know. we know what we want to accomplish. we want to keep the pressure on

because on because that is what hurtingwe need to take the stra. we are only country that can lead and do that we have to support our allies. be honest, in the end this attack is on saudi arabia. saudi arabia will have to defend themselves. we should support them like we should support israel. melissa: sure. but there is the idea that you don't look at the attack in isolation. that they have gotten increasingly aggressive in their unacceptable behavior and that it is piling up. whether the grabbing of oil tankers in the strait of hormuz, shooting down our drone and now doing this, they're obviously trying to provoke a reaction. you know, they want the reactions, i guess they can scream about it on the world stage. at the same time they keep stepping it up, it can't continue to go on without being checked? >> i look at that differently. i think they're increasingly

desperate and frustrated they don't have a way out of this. they're trying to do all the different things. what is important about all the different things. they don't lead to iranian escalation. they messed with boats. they stopped because it doesn't work. they shoot down a drone. they don't attack americans anymore. they shoot at the saudis. now they claim they haven't done it. seems like they're poking around to try to find a way out of there i think the answer for the u.s. is to keep the pressure on. what is really cool from the u.s. perspective. everybody criticizes information they shot at us, why don't we shoot back? they shot at and nobody really died. when we punch back we punch back at ways iranians can't touch. after they shut down the drone we cut off oil to syria. we shut down 90% of the revenue from. frustrating thing the irrapians can't get back at what we do to them.

melissa: president pies on more pressure to the sanctions, he is open to sitting down, talking do you think that is the right approach. >> i do think it is the right approach. i don't think we'll see iranians do that anytime soon. i don't think they're done. trying to poke different ways to get out of the box. the other thing is, you got to believe at the end of the day, somebody is saying let's wait 18 months. maybe the guy won't get reelected and some yahoo! will come in to give us what we want. they will poke. they won't start world war iii and desperately hope he doesn't get reelected. if he does get reelected then they will figure out what to do from there. melissa: what do you think about the democrats saying that the president's fault getting out of nuclear deal? >> the only problem with that is reality. after doing the nuclear deal, they will abettor actor. they were more meddling, and the more money they got, more dangerous they got.

they turn around at least the nuclear deal kept them from going nuclear. that is a lie. we knew that. obama administration says they were on the verge of a breakout when we did that. if we doesn't stop a breakout, we didn't stop bad behavior, explain to me what the advantage of the dial was other than letting europeans doing in nothing and giving the iranians a ton of mon? melissa: thank thank you, james carafano. >> thank you for having me. connell: who is gaining momentumwise as we get closer to the election. melissa: plus is it on or off? the highly buzzed about raid on area 51 is not officially on the calendar anymore but isn't stopping the ufo enthusiasts from showing up. how local officials are preparing. that is one of the local officials right there. connell: that is a good look. washington monument finally reopening after three years of repairs. tourists can again visit the

a bigger threat to him. this comes after joe biden set a personal low in the fox poll. here so discuss, kaitlin owens, reporter for "axios." if you're a biden campaign half full or we're still in the lead, half empty, the number is going down only 29%, what do you say? >> if i was the biden campaign i would say warren is the candidate to look out for. she slowly increased in her numbers. sanders has been pretty high. biden has been pretty high all this time. biden getting knocked down from the top position increasingly looking like elizabeth warren will be the one to do it. connell: we'll talk about bernie sanders in a moment. he is hanging in there especially in our poll at 18%. >> right. connell: you mentioned liz warren, the other thing about the poll, look at head-to-head matchups between the any of the candidates and president. the joe biden does the best by far. he is up 14 by president trump head-to-head in national poll. other candidate ahead of the president. liz warren only plus six.

that is 8-point difference. joe biden still matches up head-to-head against president trump. what do you make of that? >> i think that is joe biden's greatest strength in this race. there seems to be divide between democratic primary voters who want the candidate knows likely to beat president trump and the candidate they like the best. increasingly democrats are saying look it is most important we pick the most electable candidate. joe biden is the most electable candidate. i will say joe biden is the first choice as democratic nominee. he will have my vote. connell: want to talk about bernie sanders a little bit. he hung in there, very well in this poll, surprisingly so, compared to other polls in recent weeks. we received word from the campaign. they reached a million donors. they claim they're the first campaign to get there. a few month ago people wrote off elizabeth warren on democratic side. she is not going anywhere. i wonder whether the campaign of bernie sanders has been written

off too quickly, saying warren is on rise? how do you see the give-and-take between those two? >> obviously i can't predict the future here. there is big difference between sanders and warren. sanders was a huge name in 2016. 2015 and 2016. elizabeth warren us indeed the beltway we know who she is for a while. she had to introduce herself to voters and convince her a progressive candidate on liberal side of the spectrum is better choice than bernie sanders. as her polls go up, she is increasingly make the argument to progressives she should be the candidate instead of sanners. connell: they're fighting for same voters. we all know it is very early, too early. >> it is very early. connell: thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> not backing down, the united auto workers strike against general motors stretching into a fourth day as ripples from plant shutdowns continue. grady trimble is in detroit with

and it is about their. >> wage. >> that is what this is about today. reporter: those issues will certainly be part of the contract negotiations as they continue. again this is the first sign in four days of this strike we've seen any movement, any, possibility of things going in the right direction toward a deal between the two sides. melissa? melissa: we'll see, grady, thank you. connell: how about this one? fox business getting a first look at apple's fifth avenue flagship store, the cube, which has been there but now the store will be much bigger, opening up to the public tomorrow morning. they are going to open it at 8:00 in the morning, new york time. and then after that, you know it is like a drugstore, it will be open 24 hours a day in case you need a new iphone at 3:00 in the morning. melissa: i usually do. connell: right. this comes as the new phone is about to hit the shelves. john meyer joins us, starship call tall management, from austin, texas.

good to see you. on the physical retail locations, i watched presentation at the september 10th event. they spent a little time on that. how important is that in this day and age, 2019 physical store experience especially for apple? >> i think apple is doing quite a good job for retail. they have set the bar for retail in the age of essentially an apocalypse going on all threw out the retail industry. i think retail will become crucial for apple is in the next 10 years, where apple needs to figure out what will drive their revenue after the iphone? it is going to have to be another new hardware product. what better way to familiarize the public in incredibly dense place like new york than, you know, more investments with retail. so i think it is definitely a good idea for apple to be investing in this direction. connell: could be a new mood for millenials or whatever generation unmillenials is called. the bars used to stay open in

new york until 4:00 in the morning. we need to find a diner. oh, it will be the apple store. we need to be open at that hour. what do you make about the transition and transition over to services, and the rest? when you heard the presentation the phone seems to be all about the camera. i played around with it earlier today. you can do more with the camera. it seems to be more about the camera. you have tv, pricing some other things you mentioned. what do you make of the mix of products and strategy apple is going with right now? >> i think apple really is trying to buy time here. i think that is what the higher level story is. you know, we're clearly in a position where the iphone has plateaued in terms of revenue. i think what apple's really doing, they're biding time with services. it's a great talking point to investors because the services revenue is increasing but there is no way services will ever get close to where iphone revenue was. connell: buying time to get where? what, what do they want to get

past? someone would say it's a trade war but are you alluding to something else? >> yeah i am and i think about buying time they're buying time for "the next revolution" in computing after the smartphone. my prediction that is augmented reality what apple is investing a lot of money in right now. connell: working on that just like years ago they were working on the phone, didn't come out with that, everybody had ipods. okay. john meyer joining us. >> great to see. >> panic in the sky. passengers grabbing oxygen masks on a delta flight as it plunged from 39,000 feet to 10,000 feet in less than eight minutes. what caused the midair emergency? that is next. terror on the tarmac, a ex-american airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging a plane may have ties to isis. why federal officials are sounding the alarm. ♪t while helping you to and through retirement.

expand that to all flights eventually, even domestic flights and that is causing some privacy concerns. the process is pretty simple. rather than showing a passport and ticket at the gate, you smile for a photo. customs and border protection sends the image to the cloud which matches a picture they already have particularly with your passport. it deletes pictures of u.s. citizens in 12 hours. images of some aliens can be held up to 14 days. they have not out right said they will not share data with other federal agencies writing that is up in the air. the only authorized cpb personnel on partners will have access to the collection device. only cpb staff and cloud provider service personnel will have access to the database not directly in the future whether it could be shared with federal agencies. aclu says there need to be laws limiting the technology. >> congress has never clearly

authorized the tsa to use this technology and is simply not ready for airport use. we have not debated the privacy concerns and we frankly don't understand what the agency wants to do, how they will be storing and using this data? reporter: cpb says it is the fastest way to keep people safe. it has a 97% match rate. it already helped keep people out posing as some one else. 173 people on land at u.s. border and 73 people at airports. connell: you mentioned privacy a lot in your report. what if someone is like, you know what, i don't want to do this i will opt out, what happens to those people. reporter: you can opt out. even airlines said that will slow these down. aclu taking issue that could penalize people for wanting their privacy. people are not out right being shown to opt out. it took me a few minutes to find

out the information. in the privacy section there is footnote, travelers who don't wish to participate can notify cpb officer or airline to seek alternative means of verifying their identity. it is difficult to find there, not immediately apparent. we'll see when they roll it out with tsa if there are big signs everywhere when that happens. melissa: yeah, right. connell: that is a screen none of us read, we hit agree. have no idea what we're agreeing to. jacqui heinrich at jfk. melissa: we have mike boyd. it is interesting we're having this conversation, we'll talk about a second for that worker in miami who was tampering with the airplane. they're now thinking he might be a member of isis. at the same time we're asking about that and saying how could this guy get through and how could he be near an airplane? we're also questioning whether or not we should be allowed, letting cpb use facial recognition software at the

airport. does that make sense? do we want to be safe or not? what are your thoughts? >> there is two separate issues here. facial recognition, i have real problems with that. just like the aclu said there is no control over it. i don't know if it is any faster or not looking at a piece of paper or running a code through something. i think we need to look at it a little bit more before we go into this willy-nilly. airlines like it, all the rest of it i have to question whether or not we can control it. that question has not been answered. i say that goes out the door. melissa: when you say control it where would it go? at this point in time your face is everywhere. our biometrics are being stored all over the place. apple admitted they were doing it in their stores. they say it is to help. just one of those things that is kind of going, what do you mean we have to control it? it is already out of control? >> exactly right. what do we do with that? what can they do with that information? as you just pointed out they

haven't said they won't share it with other people. i don't think someone going to buffalo, new york, needs to worry about whether his face will get shared on several website across the government. so i think it needs a lot more scrutiny before we proceed with this i am concerned about it. melissa: while we're on the topic of airline safety, we want to get your take on the story. i was talking about a ex-american airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging the airline, shared violent isis videos, expressed support for the terror group and has a brother in iraq that might be linked to isis there are conflicting reports, according to federal prosecutors. what do you think about the situation? >> put it in context only the shadow knows what evil lies in the hearts of men. american airlines doesn't and transport workers union doesn't either. this guy has been there since 1988 without material problems. the hijackers on 9/11 had been in the country a long time as well. it is one of those things, pops

up, how did he get near an airplane? he was a mechanic. on the payroll for 30 something years. why wouldn't he be near an airplane? could. melissa: do you not belief, that they have the story incorrect, his original story where he said he was trying to disable the plane to make more overtime money, did that make more sense to you? >> either way it goes the fact is we don't know, there was no way of the company knowing or anybody else knowing he was going to do this. i don't buy the stuff where he says he, the airplane could not be damaged. i understand the lawyer said this didn't put anybody at risk. that is malarkey. so the guy put 150 people at risk. the guy should go to jail, period, end of discussion but why he did it isn't clear. with the background they have now found, that is another whole smoke. melissa: michael boyd, thank you for joining us. appreciate it. connell: yeah. >> thank you. connell: crazy story. a lot of element there. meantime we'll move on to this. we promised it, we both always

said this, once they get going there is no stopping a ufo enthusiast. melissa: none. connell: think about it. you can't stop them. the storm area 51 raid went viral. they canceled it. if you look for aliens they don't take well, it is not the canceled. they're going to nevada anyway. we'll talk about next what that means for this area you're looking at. ♪ all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. 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 ... fisher investments. clearly better money management.

p.m., and it lasts for only one night so that's our public service announcement of the day. melissa: we're all over that at my house. the facebook event that went viral, the organizer of storm area 51 officially canceling the event but alien enthusiasts are still descending on the remote site in nevada. fox news william la jeunesse has the latest from los angeles. reporter: well people are already showing up from around the world, likely to get a good look at a top secret u.s. military installation, also the desert has a certain appeal but they have to assume the feds have already moved the aliens to some other classified location off site. obviously they won't let us see the bodies or space ships, however it's 1% of 2 million show up that's 20,000. this video warns the environment is not friendly for humans. >> there is no water, no amenities, no resources and the invasion of this location is a crime. this area is home to scorpions, rattlesnakes, badgers, and is

generally not an environment suited for humans. >> police arrested two young dutch tourists for trespassing but reduced to three days a one- year jail sentence provided they leave the country. >> we take this crime seriously and people need to understand we will not put up with this kind of nonsense. >> for three nights we have to spend there and on thursday the 19th we can go back to the netherlands to our home country, so yeah, >> we didn't want to cause any trouble. it has all gotten a little bit out of hand but we learn from our mistakes and it's good to be back. reporter: and while the wait itself is canceled three events are planned a concert in vegas, alien stock with 25 vendors and a sound stage expects several thousand visitors, camping in cars and rv's. >> feels absolutely amazing and we don't know what to expect in the next few days but right now this is the calm before the

storm. reporter: nearby at the alien research center another concert now concerned with the lack of gas stations on a single highway , police arrested a command center. >> we prepared for mass casualties if that were the case we're prepared for just a mass invasion of the nevada national security site and we're even prepared for just an event of a lone wolf. >> so getting around, food, sleeping this will be a challenge so this party could be a bust or a blast. in los angeles, william la jeunesse, fox news. connell: oh, boy. melissa: i have a couple important questions. how did we know those two guys weren't aliens? they could have flown here in a ufo. connell: what was it dutch guys? melissa: that's what they said. connell: that whole report seemed kind of like a joke. melissa: but? connell: but if all those people showed up in that area, they have water, nothing? melissa: no cell service that would be horrible. they said they are ready for mass casualties? that's a little severe. connell: let's go back to the

mcdonald's story that was more uplifting. melissa: you have to stop there if you go to area 51. that does it for us. connell: french fry stocks tomorrow, bulls & bears starts now. david: house speaker nancy pelosi unveiling the democrats long-awaits and sweeping new prescription drug pricing plan, but critics are calling it a radical and far reaching proposal that could impact prices on more than 200 medications nationwide. hi everybody this is bulls & bears i'm david asman. thanks for joining us. joining me on the panel gary kaltbaum, liz peek, jonathan hoe nig and robert wolf. house speaker nancy pelosi's drug pricing plan allows medicare to negotiate lower prices and penalize companies that raise the price of their drugs faster than inflation, but fox news medical correspondent dr. mark said gal joins us now and you say pelosi's bill has
