prove his platform isn't rigged against conservatives, he needs to open it up to a third party audit and to also prove that he is not anti-competitive, he needs to sell off some of his most popular apps. >> the way he can show he's trying to do better is to sell instagram and what's app to submit to an independent third party audit. i think he was taken offguard and he thought that was not a great idea. >> reporter: zuckerberg met with mark warren and richard blumenthal, who said big tech, particularly facebook, needs to be broken up because it's too big. when asked if zuckerberg was able to convince him that breakup would be a bad idea over dinner, he said he still has a long way to go. >> well, we had a very serious and positive discussion, even where we differed. and i really welcome the opportunity to sit down with him and try to reach some common ground. >> reporter: while facebook

heads of the two trade teams, china and the u.s. meeting face-to-face in washington in early october. commerce secretary wilbur ross says that he believes the chinese delegation has though us something in order to move forward with these trade deals. >> if they aren't prepared to give on anything, we're not going to get anywhere. remember, what we need is to correct the big imbalances, not just the current trade deficit, but also the structural imbalances, the impediments to market access, disrespect for intellectual property, forced technology transfers, so it's more complicated than just buying a few more soybeans. >> reporter: the chinese are calling these preliminary talks. today, chinese trade sources say the at moss fear changed for them when president trump decided to delay tariff increases 15 days from october 15th. the sources say the chinese want to talk about how both sides can

make a trade deal that is win-win. the chinese did start buying soybean purchasing. fox business asked the secretary of agriculture sonny purdue if farmers then would need to have help as they have done in the past. this is his answer. listen. >> well, we can't say that obviously everyone would rather have trade. i would love to have a big trade announcement coming and prices recover and there wouldn't be a need for one. the president is prepared if it's necessary that he will not let china bully him into a quick deal in order to resolve that. >> reporter: a smaller part of the chinese delegation has been invited to visit farms in the midwest. details of the trip are still being worked out but it would extend the chinese visit here. the secretary of agriculture says this is designed to produce some goodwill between the two sides. back to you. cheryl: edward, thank you very much. president trump and first lady melania trump are welcoming australias' prime minister and his wife to the white house this morning. morrison is just the second

military strike against iran, just based on my own experience as secretary of defense, it was pretty clear that the iranians would respond to that kind of strike by attacking our forces in the h region. so we could see a war. i don't think either the united states or saudi arabia wants to get into another middle eastern war. cheryl: you can watch the full interview, 7:00 a.m. eastern time on "mornings with maria." don't miss it. lauren: the pain from a uaw strike against general motors is spreading as the walkout now enters day number five. navatar says two assembly lines will be down next week because there aren't enough parts on-hand. and gm suppliers are starting to lay off workers. the list includes next year automotive, leer seating and the automotive component carrier. a top union official says some

not about how the economy looks from a day a take perspective, it's how the consumer feels. >> we had a tor torid pace of gh in 2018. we had an economy that was growing 3 to 4%. that's slowed down significantly. the consumer is starting to feel that. things are slowing down a little bit. but that's a long way from a recession. and i think the consumer's a big part of that. cheryl: they also talk about the president and their view of him since he took office and if you're a republican, 50% say things have gotten better. and the market has certainly gotten better. maybe the trade war is weighing on markets this year but in general with unemployment at record lows it seems to me that the data supports a strong economy even though we've got that quarter point rate cut. >> the unemployment numbers have been really good, fantastic, all-time lows. the consumer actually has more money in their pocket.

saving rates have been fantastic. consumers have been saving money. that's the day a at that point. that's -- data point. that's fantastic news. they look at the headlines every day, trade war with china, war in the middle east, political strifes in washington. cheryl: we've been talking about maria bartiromo's show about this, can you talk yourself into a recession. she asked about this very issue. listen to what she was told. >> i don't think so. the u.s. has roughly 70%, maybe 72% in a consumer economy. we've got roughly around 11% manufacturing. manufacturing's going down. there's no doubt about that. it's quite soft. but the consumer has the advantage of full employment, the way we measure it. and so now we're getting compensation for workers that are going up faster than

inflation and that's a good thing for workers. cheryl: he's bullish. do you agree? >> yeah, i do. it would take a lot to turn this economy around. let's point out maybe the obvious. in the fourth quarter, we had that major correction in the market, the consumer did stop spending. and that's what happened with holiday sales. they really dropped kind of off a cliff towards the end there. so it can happen. if something comes along and frightens the consumer, they will hold on tight to their money, they stop spending, that means somebody else doesn't have a job. that could happen. cheryl: markets are watching all of it. thank you for being here. over to you, lauren. lauren: state of emergency in texas, as the state is battered with catastrophic flash flooding. at least two people confirmed death. we could see a spike in the price of oil, right now it's up 33-cents, 58, 46 a barrel. cheryl: senior meteorologist janice dean has the forecast.

janice: 43 inches for i believe jefferson county. that would make it the seventh wettest tropical cyclone in the u.s. the fourth wettest for texas. so last 48 hours brought incredible amounts of rain, as i mentioned, over 40 inches of rainfall in southeast texas and this just a couple of years after harvey. so this is devastating for them. and it doesn't take a named storm. this storm was just a remnant low. it wasn't p even named and we got 40 inches of rainfall. additional rainfall, 1 to 3 inches along the coast but the worst of it is over. the damage is done, though. active tropics, at one point we had six named storms, that ties a record for the amount of storms so close to home here. we are still watching jerry and humberto. the good news is they are moving away from land. cheryl: janice, thank you. lauren: coming up, the new iphone in stores today, why some of you are saying you might want to wait before you buy it. not so fast, folks.

from washington as we learn the report might actually involve ukraine here. griff, good morning. >> reporter: that's right. good morning. according to the washington post who broke the story, the secret complaint involves the president of ukraine and a promise to post rights at two and-a-half weeks before the complaint was filed. trump spoke with ukraine's president, a political newcomer who was elected in may. the call is under investigation by house democrats who are examining whether trump and his attorney sought to manipulate the ukrainian government into helping trump's re-election campaign. giuliani appearing last night on cn nsaid democrats ought to look into former vice president biden. >> in the course of investigating that, i found out this incredible story about joe biden, that he bribed the president of the ukraine in order to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son. that is an astounding scandal of

major proportions which all of you have covered up for about five or six months. >> reporter: this after the inspector general for the intel community, michael at kinson, appeared before the house intel committee, refusing orders from the acting director of national intelligence to reveal the substance of the complaint but saying it was sear jus serious d urgent. adam of schiff says he's prepared to take legal action. >> if it comes down that we have to go to court to get this, that we will have a very good case to seek a temporary restraining order or a mandate or some urgent form of relief because the inspector general said this cannot wait. >> reporter: the white house is not commenting, although the president tweeted, calling it fake news. up next, the acting dni is expecting to a appear before the intel committee next thursday. this is clearly not over. cheryl: never is.

griff jenkins, thank you. lauren: no, it's not. iran is now threatening an all-out war in the u.s. or its allies launch military action against them. the u.s. military is presenting several options to president trump, as the u.s. looks to respond appropriately to the attacks on the saudi oil facilities. all of this as world leaders are set to meet at the united nations next week. we have jonathan waktel, a global affairs analyst with us. as the president considers his options, i'm curious what you think his optionses against iran are. >> the options are going to be a series of things, from beefing up u.s. military presence, supplying the saudis with addition armments to be able to he defend themselves, to actually taking on some sort of iranian target, an air strike or whatever is decided. lauren: if this is confirmed to be iran and they ultimately claim responsibility, why would they be so provocative to attack the world's oil supply? >> the iranians are feeling pain from the u.s. sanctions and that

in and of itself is an incentive to try to stir things up, to show that they have some might and some influence in the region. the other argument is possibly that it's an attempt to try to raise the price of oil itself, even though there are sanctions on iran, it still does manage to trade oil either illicitly or even officially to some nations that are willing to do it. lauren: and they need the money. >> and they need the cash, desperately need the cash. so there is the incentive to do it. whether it's to cause an all-out war with the united states, that's a different question. they've been systematically ratcheting up things, drone was taken out, our drone, the attacks on the ships in the strait. you know, other actions have been provocative, trying to test the resolve of the united states and other nations in the region. they may have overstepped the line here. we shall see.

obviously, the stakes are much higher. lauren: and the stakes are high with china as well. we have meetings going on in washington between negotiators from both teams. michael pillsbury an adviser on china to the president says maybe we need to increase the pressure, maybe we should double tariffs on some chinese items. can you see something like that happening? does that get us any closer to a deal? >> right now we've seen some kind jess gestures by easing of tariffs on certain items, christmas lights, barbecue grills and other things to try to of move things a along and actually not hurt the u.s. economy in the process of this as much as possible too, because the american consumers expect to be able to buy these products and they don't want to see inflated prices that make it difficult in our pocketbooks to be able to move forward here. you know, they're at a very delicate point right now. it's good that the negligence he other united nationses -- negotiations are going on. the united states still needs to achieve its aims, and that is to

end the weird practicing -- not weird, the destructive practices of the chinese that have gone on for so long. we've had such a long l game here, it's time to at least see something happen. lauren: so tariffs are the negotiating tool but are they getting us where we need to be to fix the theft of our intellectual property and the like? >> right. i mean, that's the big question. you know, and this is a delicate time now and as you know, when you're having the negotiating process, when you have the middle managers in there discussing, not the big shots in october, this is where a lot of the critical discussion points happen. this actually decides whether those talks in october will be successful. lauren: those middle managers are meeting with some of our farmers next week. we'll see. jonathan, good luck next week. good to see you. cheryl: we talk about tariffs almost every day on this show. actually, we talk about it every day on the show. this is a new one even for us, folks. check this out. a popular halloween costume this year is likely going to be the

he reportedly told fellow donors at a recent biden fundraiser that the two progressive candidates do not represent the democratic party. the new fox news poll shows that while biden is still in the lead, he has been losing some ground. let's bring in former white house deputy, brad blakeman, along with democratic strategist, kevin shavitz. good morning. kevin, this is your party. there has been a divide. we've been seeing it growing for a while. you've got the ultra left, sanders and warren, and she's really starting to gain ground and then you've got biden who is taking that moderate stance. where do you see the party going? >> well, it's interesting because biden still retains a solid lead, as you mentioned, and he still has a very good lead among those who consider themselves more moderate and conservative but who are voteing in the democratic primary and also among nonwhite voters, which has really been sort of his strength. but the healthcare fight i believe has really become sort of this proxy battle for sort of

the soul of the party because he's really in -- in the debate we saw fireworks where he called out elizabeth warren over dodging the question whether her plan would raise taxes on the middle class. he gave sanders a compliment over being open about the fact that taxes would go up with his plan. there's a bat l he'll going on. -- battle going on. i think for democratic voters, the most important issue is who can beat donald trump which is isn't we haven't seen recently for democrats to be so focused on -- cheryl: electability. >> that's what bolsters buy deen and keeps him in the lead. cheryl: i'm glad you brought that up. you brought up the issue of the white suburban voters. that's where the trump administration seems to know they've got a problem coming up, that is white suburban women. in 2018 we saw that voting block kind of really go left and help

the house go blue. and then you've got this new fox news poll, only 7% say they're enthusiastic about how the government is working under president trump and only 24% say they're satisfied. >> at the end of the day, we know in presidential election cycles, people vote with their pocketbooks. when they go in the voting booth, they'll ask themselves am i better off today than i was four years ago, is the economy doing well. we know from polls that the economy is doing fantastic. and when we talk about white suburban women, when they go into the voting booth, they're going to say they're much better off. they're at full employment, wages are rising, and so i think if the democrats want to run on the economy, they're going to have a tough time because president trump has delivered. you might not like his rhetoric but you sure the heck like his results. and at the end of the day, the economy is everything and i believe that -- cheryl: policy not the person. >> i think trump has a good shot.

cheryl: we've talked about that. i want to go to bernie sanders, kevin, he hit a new milestone, a million individual donors. he's not doing the big fundraisers that joe biden is doing. elizabeth warren is on his heels and her crowd sizes seem to be growing. what do you make of that. >> yeah, they are sanders, even when he ran in 2016, he really sort of touted his aable to connect with the grass roots and get large amounts of small donations. he's got a ferven base of supporters. it's a gule milestone for -- good milestone for him and i think he would show his strength if he faced trump. he's got to defeat biden first. cheryl: brad, final word. >> joe biden, i think his party has long since passed him by. he's been running for president for decades. he he's going to fail. a more progressive socialist is going to be their nominee.
