speech at the united nations general assembly about trade and china that resonated around the globe. the president was more direct than he has been in a long time when talking about china. he says a previous administration thought that admitting china into the wto would force change. the president adds, it has not. >> two decades later, this theory has been tested and proven completely wrong. not only has china declined to adopt promised reforms, it has embraced an economic model dependent on massive market barriers, heavy state subsidies, currency manipulation, product dumping, forced technology transfers, and the theft of intellectual property. >> reporter: he says china has been gaming the international trading system for a long time. he says that ends as long as hes is president. president trump said he will get a good deal for the american people. the president saying that he's counting on president xi-jinping of china being a great leader

people nervous. it was the impeachment inquiry. >> that's the initial reaction in most news, that knee-jerk reaction, how are you going to initially trade that. when you look back at 1998 with clinton, you have a peak to trough 20% drop in the market during that initial inquiry. as things settled down, it snaps right back. you're seeing that initial how do we take this, digest all this news. you'll see more of it today. cheryl: we'll get more political news today, we'll hear about the whistleblower, the transcript and we'll get more news about the whistleblower. u.s. farmers have been caught in the crosshairs of the trade war with china, especially the soybean producing states, arkansas, illinois, iowa. now the chinese are saying they're going to buy pork from the united states. do we -- i guess we believe them or do we hope this goes through? things are so volatile with the chinese. >> that's a great point.

i call this a slow dance we're having with china. we're dancing together slowly. they'll announce something and then they pull it back and then they're going to say they have talks and then they leave early. trump's doing the same thing back and forth. i think this is game that will be played through the election and through the impeachment part of this, until they say whether they've got to deal with this guy for another four years or not. they really don't have to do anything differently if someone else gets in. cheryl: you subscribe to the theory that the chinese are waiting to see how the election plays out. >> no doubt in my mind. they're 100 year thinking kind of place. to wait another year is not a big deal for them. i think trump is willing to wait as well. in tend, i think we're going to deal. i don't know if it's going to be the deal we want and whether it will happen before the election. cheryl: the question is the timing. you're right, there's a bad deal and there's no deal. what do you want. doug, a lot to watch. thanks for coming in early. lauren: merger in the media

the evidence at this point? >> absolutely. so basically all that they have is that something somewhere might have happened at some point and they're saying that is a sufficient basis to impeach the president of the united states. and this is simply a political tactic and it's very, very n transparent. they can't articulate anything about anything that fits into the article two requirement that is very, very clear. so in order to actually legally and constitutionally impeach a sitting president it has to be a sufficient basis of a high crime of misdemeanor, treason, bribery. there's nothing they cited that is anything but vague. of course this is simply a political tactic, unfortunately. lauren: the senate would have to be on-board here and they're republican controlled. in a sense would you make the argument that democrats might win this battle but lose the ultimate war? >> you know, it depends on their goal here. we saw for the two years plus of the mueller investigation that

they were simply harping on russia, russia, russia and that came to absolutely nothing. they were trying to simply be the party of obstruction and to say president trump's judicial yoappointment shouldn't go through. they were trying to have a stall tactic. if the tactic is to delay the inquiry and continue the narrative in the media cycle coming up to the election, that may be all their objective is. what i'd like to know from nancy pelosi is when will you call a vote, how long is the inquiry, what's the scope, what are they doing so they will have full transparency. president trump has been completely transparent. the twhiet hous white house hasn anything to congress, to mule mueller, anyone that they wanted. this is about the democrats making this political and partisan. lauren: kt mcfarland land says this isn't good for anybody. >> i've been through an

impeachment. the country stops. we don't do business. the foreign adversaries look at this and say we're going to exploit the situation, get what we can when we can get it because we know the president trump of the united states is not in a position to come back at us. lauren: do you agree? >> absolutely. this is politically devi divisid this is something that democrats and no one should ever use as a political tactic. this should be an constitutionally speaking is a nonpartisan process and so for the democrats to simply wield their power to try to use this for political motivation is frankly anti-american and against the rule of law. lauren: it didn't work out for republicans when they tried to do this during the clinton administration. jenna ellis reeves, thank you for the time. >> thanks so much. cheryl: well, google is releasing their very own game platform to compete with apple. the monthly subscription service is called play pass, it has 350 apps and games, it's $1.99 a

lauren: senator elizabeth warren just keeps on going. building momentum. a new poll in you new hampshire shows warren enjoying a slight 2% advantage over former vice president joe biden. the long-time front runner in the race for the democratic presidential nomination. this survey is the second poll to show warren overtaking biden in a key state. anders joins us now. when you look at the polls, what got me is in four months elizabeth warren in new hampshire went from 8% support to 27% and joe biden went from 36 to 25. those are huge jumps in both

directions. what happens now? >> absolutely, that's the joe biden gaffe effect. i think i've said it the last such he'll times i've been on the show, is that elizabeth warren has proved to have a lot more to gain from other candidates dropping out than joe biden does. joe biden has been hovering around the mid to high 20s. now he's in the low 20s for the entirety of his campaign and warren has grown so much and that comes from the fact that other candidates are dropping out and they're finding her a lot more attractive and those votes are going to her. biden can't win with mid-20s support. that leaves over 70% of the vote that's supporting other candidates or undecided. lauren: as we talk about elizabeth warren surging, okay, maybe she could win iowa, maybe she can win new hampshire. what about states like pennsylvania when she's anti-fracking, when she doesn't have policies that support the state's economy. >> well, absolutely. joe biden has based his campaign around this idea that he the moderate candidate. but especially with this

impeachment inquiry that's been happening right now, that's been a lot more difficult for biden to make that case because he himself has come out in favor of impeachment, just yesterday, and that sort of puts him in a difficult place. it's hard to say that he is the level-headed candidate, the moderate candidate when he's in favor of all these impeachment proceedings and more radical anti-trump policies that he had not been in favor of. lauren: there is one candidate, representative gabbard of hawaii who told kennedy last night that she doesn't support an impeachment inquiry. listen. >> i feel strongly that this is not the route that we should take. it politicizes something that the american people need to be trusted to decide, who they would like to see as our president and commander in chief. lauren: so how will that outlier message on the october debate stage, because she made

it, play out among 11 other candidates on that stage? >> yeah, i think she'll have an important card to play, especially in taking away that moderate card from joe biden. i think if she is going to play a major point, it will be in hurting joe biden in that debate. lauren: thanks for the time this morning. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: president trump is scheduled to meet with ukraine's president this afternoon, this will be their first face-to-face meeting on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly, first face-to-face ever. the ukrainian leader is at the center of a political storm in washington. let's bring in lawrence core, former assistant secretary of defense. good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: set up the meeting today. there's going to be all eyes on these two leaders because what it's done to upset the balance of washington and the impeachment inquiry but also he has to balance out what he needs from president trump and that's help with putin and russia.

>> i think that's a good point in this whole thing about who said what and the phone call and everything. we're forgetting that you crew y important to us as a buffer to prevent russian expansionism and that's why we gave them aid to begin with, both under obama and president trump. i'm glad that the president's going to release the transcripts of the conversation so that they can get back to real business. cheryl: so we'll know that today, hope brin hopefully thate comes before the meeting. i want to pivot over to china. the president yesterday, he really went after china. we are in such a sensitive time right now with the chinese. all the back and forth, all the language. want you to listen to what president trump said yesterday in particular about the issue of china. >> the world trade oranization needs drastic change, the second

largest economy in the world should not be permitted to declare itself a developing country in order to game the sis system at others' expense. >> charles: what d.cheryl: whaf that? >> it doesn't help, later yesterday the chinese foreign minister gave a speech that contradicted that. that means it's going to be hard for us to work this out. trump's big mistake here was getting out of the trans pacific partnership because if we stayed in that, all of these countries could use their leverage to get china to do what it's supposed to do under the world trade oranization rules. cheryl: because they're still a developing country under the wto which i think the president is right on about, that they are hardly -- they're the world's second largest economy. they're not a developing country. the chinese have a lot of power on our economy when it comes to u.s. farmers, whether it's soybean, now they say they're

going to buy more pork products. so we are seeing good faith from the chinese. do you think that's a sign, because their economy has been pressured during the trade fight, do you think that's a good sign that the chinese are willing to come to the table now and do a deal? >> i think they are. i think it's important. trump didn't help it yesterday when he kept saying this is not a globalized economy. it is a globalized economy. take a look at what you're wearing and where it came from and the cars that you have and where they came from. so no, we need to work it out. nobody is winning with this right now. and not only are we suffering, but the rest of the world is. cheryl: lawrence, there is so much to get to. didn't even get to iran with you. so much is on the table this week. it's never boring during u.n. week. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you. lauren: a major penalty for mercedes-benz parent company, daimler. they were hit with a $960 million fine for selling

cars that cheated on diesel emissions. the fine came in at the end of the -- lower end of the expectations. four years ago the environmental protection agency exposed volkswagen for cheating on diesel emissions. cheryl: take a look at wall street this morning. this will be the story of the day. futures, we are down 73 points right now, s&p down 10, nasdaq down 39 and three quarters. the impeachment inquiry, all the things happening at the united nations, trade talks, all of it, a lot on investors' minds today. also still ahead, there is a company that tracks how you watch tv and movies and they've just been charged with fraud by the fcc. and a popular retailer is finally joining the 21st century. marshall's finally gets to embrace the internet. lauren: i'm excited. cheryl: we're going to have details of that. i know, it took them forever. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ don't go breaking my heart. ♪ i won't go breaking your

pound, trading there relatively muted. so what is that telling you? >> it's telling you there's an awful lot of uncertainty about whether or not we'll get an election this side of the 31st of october. ultimately, i don't think there is the time. i think what will happen and what's more likely to happen is boris johnson will you try and negotiate a new deal. he won't want to go to the eu for an extension. i think it's likely he could resign prior to that eu council meeting and put it into the hands of the people in parrelment to try to get that -- parliament to try to get that extension in his place. lauren: so as you said, michael hewson, prayers is what we need to send your way this morning. >> prayers. lauren: thank you so much for joining us and trying to unpack all that is british politics, cheryl. cheryl: there's a company that tracks what movies you watch and they've been accused of fraud by the fcc. lauren: what's going on?
