far and he would prefer to see a full deal. we are looking for an indication of how things went as they walked out. there seemed to be a smile on the vice premier's face. we can tell you the chinese this week bought $134 million worth of soybeans, also made a large pork purchase. something that farmers have been looking for for a long time. later on today, the president saying that he will meet the head of the chinese team, vice premier liu he at the white house. look forward to that. back to you. cheryl: markets moving on positive news there. president trump held a big pretty eventful rally in minneapolis last night. this is his first rally since democrats began the impeachment proceedings against him. he wasted no time and took a swipe at squad member ilhan omar, right in her own town. >> congress woman omar is an america-hating socialist. she minimized the september 11th attack on our

>> it's so terrible. democrats are on a crusade to destroy our democracy. that's what's happening. >> reporter: and he had choice words for the bidens. >> hunter, you're a loser. and your father was never considered smart. he was never considered a good senator. he was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss barack obama's [bleep] >> reporter: now it's all eyes on the schedule's closed door appearance, former ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch in what has been described as a transcribed interview, not a traditional hearing or deposition which is governed by separate rules. >>rules.we expect her to slow ue won't know until the last minute. sunland we learned will appear for a transcribed interview as

a good thing to be able to tell his base he's getting tough on the chinese and he would like to delay a deal until the election year to maximize the stock market and voter impact. lauren:s that's interesting, because he also tweeted last night they, as in china, want to make a deal, but do i? and a lot of people including us herhere and our staff we were saying well, why wouldn't he want to make a deal. >> again, i think he likes the idea to say that i am the one looking out for you, i'm getting tough on china and i'm going to continue the talks until the deal is correct for all of you and for the american people. lauren: is it possible and realistic that china at some point under so much pressure economically and even politically as we see with hong kong and the protests with the nba, et cetera, that they'll cave on some of these big issues like the theft of intellectual property and the like? >> my sense is no, for one, because what could they say about the stol stolen intellectl property. that is what everyone does.

if we're going to go down this road, let's jail thomas edison, henry ford, steve jobs. my sense is the pressure is greater on the u.s. to come to some kind of a deal. an l election coming up. let's not forget, china is mcdonald's second largest market, nike's second largest market, gm sells more car in china than it does in north america. apple sells a b a fifth of its iphones there. this is a huge market for u.s. pes companies. the pressure is -- u.s. companies. the pressure is just as great if not greater here. lauren: i've heard it spoken of realistically that we don't get a deal and we operate as two separate economies and all of the companies you mentioned that do business in china start reshoring their operations and supply chains to the us and you have a decoupling of the two biggest nations in the world.

>> very dangerous and unfortunate. it would be a sign of an a economic retreat for the u.s. if our goal economically is to bring back the jobs of the past, that is something that would spook investors far more than the brakesmanship already. u.s. is all about progress. if suddenly we're going to retreat and become a manufacturing economy that will not please investors and will not be good for the u.s. economy. the reason we're the greatest economy on earth is we leave that work to others. lauren: a lot of people would say the opposite. we could debate that another time. as a sign of good faith do you think the president goes ahead with the increase on tariffs in chinese items next week. >> no. lauren: he doesn't? >> i meant the reverse. i don't think he's going to -- lauren: so it will be a measure of good faith, he won't increase those tariffs. thank you so much for coming on. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: the nba decidings

overnight to -- deciding overnight to no longer hold team media sessions during their trip to china. this comes after a tense exchange which involved cnn and thcnn andthe houston rockets. >> reporter: another day, more twists in the nba, china saga including this exchange between a cnn reporter and a houston rockets representative after she tried to question two of the team's stars about the hong kong protest. take a listen. >> i wonder after the events of this week and the fallout we've seen, whether you would both feel differently about speaking out in that way in the future. >> excuse me. we're taking basketball questions only. >> this is a legitimate question. this is an event that happened this week. this particular question has not been answered. >> any other questions?

>> reporter: the nba later issuing this, quote, during today's houston rockets media availability, a team representative inappropriately interjected to prevent cnn's kristina mcfarland from receiving an answer to her question. we've apologized to ms. mcfarland as this was inconsistent with how nba conducts media events. you'll recall this started following this tweet from rockets' general manager daryl morey, supporting pro democracy protesters in hong kong, leading to merchandise being pulled from floors in major chinese cities. store managers saying they were told by upper management that all rockets merchandise had to be removed. while the exhibition game between the lakers and nets went on as scheduled, you're looking at highlights right there, it was not broadcast by chinese state tv. saturday's rematch, also not expected to be broadcast in china. lauren and cheryl, back to you. cheryl: it's a $4 billion market for the nba. that is china.

so they're obviously showing their sensitivity to that, unfortunately. >> reporter: fascinating to watch that sensitivity to the all mighty dollar here. you saw it in the nfl, now the nba is experiencing it as well. cheryl: we'll have to see what they say when they finally come home. thanks for the live report. appreciate it. we've got a rally in the futures market on trade optimism and we're going to stay with china. we have word that china will get rid of limits for chinese securities and market funds. dow up 230, s&p up 26 and-a-half, nasdaq up 85 and-a-half. the markets rallied thursday on the possibility the u.s. could get a deal with china. is our financial security tied too tightly to the issue of china? we're going to look at that. a great deal for any seinfeld fan, how you can live like elaine from the tv classic and maybe you can dance like her too. keep it here on "fbn: a.m." ♪ i'm riding solo, i'm riding

cheryl: markets rallied yesterday after president trump said he will hold talks with china's top trade official, that meeting today. here's what the president tweeted. big day of negotiations with china. they want to make a deal but do i? i meet with the vice premier at the white house. james rieu you sew i russo is hs kind of a two-fold tweet, we're going to meet but do i want to make a deal. how do investors respond to that kind of stuff? >> they really can't. the volatility is here to stay. it's certainly incredible. china i don't think wants to make a deal either. they're so long-term thinkerring

thathinkingthat i don't see a de soon. cheryl: we've had several guests say they're waiting until the results of the 2020 election. are you in that camp as well? >> i am, clearly. that's what's going to happen. they're looking at it like they're not sure trump will be president. even looking out four years, these issues are issues for the chinese they want handled. cheryl: we got news they're going to stop limiting ownership of chinese mutual funds and securities. that seems like a step in the right direction. >> it certainly is. i think there will be continued green chutes we'll see here but they're limited. cheryl: all eyes are on the fed. we talked about a rate cut that could happen at the end of the month, more likely december. the fed won't give themselves a lot of room to maneuver to the downside if they cut again. do you expect a cut or do you want one?

>> i'd like one. i think it's needed. we're seeing global slowdown and the fed has room to do it. i think we'll see the fed cut rates again. cheryl: you expect a quarter point i'm assuming. >> one more cut, that should be it. cheryl: let's move to earnings season. obviously we're going to start hearing from the banks next week and a fed rate cut is going to be bad for banks. they don't make as much in profits, obviously, with lower interest rates. market watch headline today, bank earnings preview, the good times are p coming to an end. what do you make of that? >> i think it is. i really would avoid small and regional banks. i think they're in fairly tough times. i think th the larger banks are better positioned to continue to make money. they are finding ways to keep the bottom line sound. i think they'll continue to work through this situation. cheryl: you're not worried about goldman sachs, jp morgan. we are getting the big names next week. >> the smaller names i'm concerned with. cheryl: great to have you on the show. lauren: investment bankers

could deliver final opinions about the saudi aramco deal expected today. it is expected to fall short of the $2 billion. executives working on the ipo have suggested that $1.5 trillion is a more realistic evaluation. they're working to complete the ipo by late november. it is the world's biggest oil producer. still ahead, president trump's anger at washington boiled over in minnesota last night as he fired up his supporters. he also fired up protesters outside the rally. will minnesota help or hurt the president in 2020. the jonas brothers are looking to prove they're more than just singers. one company giving them the chance to be brew masters. keep it here on "fbn: a.m." ♪ pink cadillac. ♪ crushed leather seats. ♪ riding in the back. ♪ cruising down the streets.

lauren: president trump in minnesota, rallying his supporters and taking direct shots at democratic frontrunner joe biden. >> so now the democrats are making a pathetic bid to save sleepy joe. sleepy joe biden. he was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss barack obama's [bleep] lauren: that wasn't even the most heated thing to happen last night. let's bring in washington examiner commentary writer tiana lowe to discuss what we heard, what the president said. wow, president trump pulling no punches. there was no talk of how to make america great again of. did the president hit the right notes last night to take the minnesota vote in 2020? because he lost it in 2016. >> so remarkably minnesota only went 1 point for hillary clinton

as a state in 2016. minnesota's fifth congressional district, that's a d plus 26 district that hillary clinton won by some 50 odd points. i mean, the president was making a declaretive shot, focusing a lot of his shots on ilhan omar's personal life, which is a question of corruption, which there are some government records indicate it's possible her marriage was a sham. by focusing on the unverified parts of that story, the president knows where his bread is buttered and he snows by stoking the partisan divide he can turn out his base. lauren: and so he did. when you look at it like that, you make a point. i also want you to listen to what tulsi gabbard said. tuesday, we have the nex next democratic debate in ohio. she is back on the debate stage, one of 12. but maybe not. listen. >> they're holding so-called

debates which are not debates at all but rather commercialized rel at television meant to -- reality television meant to entertain, rather than to inform oreor enlighten. lauren: she's saying the whole process of finding a nominee is rigged. >> she have a point that sticking 12 people on a debate stage for three hours is not a productive way for people to figure out who they want to vote for. they should have broken it up two nights if they want 12 candidates on the stage. i'm sure kamala harris would love for tulsi to stand this one out. she absolutely should not, seeing as she has no pathway to making it onto the november debate stage if she doesn't make a splash in the october ones. this will be ill-advised. i'm sure she's getting extra media coverage out of it which is obviously what she wants. lauren: who will be on the debate stage is bernie sanders, having just recovered, back in

action after a heart attack. and he put out a video of him swinging a baseball bat on instagram and saying look, i'm going to be honest about my health conditions. i'm fine. do you think bernie sanders needs to slow down a bit? do you think voters thinks he needs to slow down a bit. >> what we need to know is -- this sounds technical, but the pumping efficiency of his heart. it's possible he had a heart attack that resulted in minimal or negligible heart failure or heart damage. if it did result in something, hopefully it did not, god willing, but if it did, then he will need to disclose that, not only to his supporters but to the electorate at large. he cannot run for president if his heart is failing. we don't know. the freak-out over bernie is a little overblown considering every frontrunner plus our president, they're all in their 70s. lauren: a lot of people have been talking about this, which begs the question, whoever the nominee is, do they pick a number two on the ticket who is

much younger because, come on, after bernie's first term, should he be elected, he would be 83 years old. >> his first day in office, he would be older than ronald reagan, our oldest president to leave the oval, on his final day. lauren: tiana, thank you, have a great weekend. cheryl: he has definitely phoned home. former child star, now a-list actress drew barrymoore is getting her own daytime talk show. the star is going to have a new show starting next fall on cbs. the project doesn't have a name yet and barrymore is said to be the executive producer. she already owns her own production company so it kind of makes sense she will take a new direction with her career. let's take a look at how your money is doing this morning. we have a rally for futures right now as you can see. triple digit gains on the dow, up 228, s&p up 27, nasdaq up 85 and three quarters. hopes of a china trade deal,

cheryl: there is a twist this fall in the housing market when it comes to bidding wars. usually if wars drop with the cooler weather. this year, they are break. real estate broker brian kaco is here. what is going on in the market? >> i've had two bidding wars this fall. they were sort of in the $800,000 range. so all real estate is local. and it's all about prices. i think what we're seeing is a little bit of pent-up buyer demand. they were sitting on the fences. we had all the changes and sellers were disconnected from prices in some markets. these buyers now, fueled by these interest rates -- cheryl: low mortgage rates. >> they're jumping. they're a full point lower than a year ago. cheryl: we're at the 3% range right now. >> i did a re-fi, i got 2.75,

15-year fixed on a conforming. cheryl: on a 15 year. nice. >> ridiculous. this is your chance. some places, there's a real affordability right now. so tulsa, oklahoma, love that. memphis, tennessee, you're seeing little pockets where the income actually is very good for the intro buyers, the first time buyer, some of those millennials and the prices are coming down a little bit and you've got these interest rates. so poof, bidding war, price it right. cheryl: who would have thought there would be a bidding war in the fall. younger buyers want historic homes but that could come with problems. you say we need to be cautious if we're going to buy a historic home. >> there's a responsibility that comes with a historic home. if you're going to maintain something, you may not have to work regular contractors. you need artisans. you might live in a historic district and that district might

actually have some coug some rue not ready for. you get people knocking on your door sometimes, they're like oh, my gosh, i've heard this is the house that -- i'm a virginiaan. there's a lot of houses like that. cheryl: there's a lot in new york obviously. >> absolutely. cheryl: historical things in the new york area. we're seeing haunted houses up for sale. we did a story a few weeks ago with a guy with a scream mask on that was the realtor. this one is in gardner, massachusetts. this is -- there was like seven people that died in this home. >> is that the lizzy borden place? i don't know. historic homes, haunted houses, any house that has a little bit of notoriety to it, every state is different for a broker about do we disclose it. something's been published. it's out there and people know about it. but here's a fun fact. i was listing something where the seller was really disconnected from the price of the market and do you know what

sold well before they did? the same day it listed? the am aityville horror house. they changed the address and they've done all kinds of things. that home has always traded and done well. cheryl: strange, right. >> if have you a house like that with that notoriety and you're still on the market, you've got to price right and maybe you'll get a bidding war. cheryl: we showed viewers different homes, there's several out there. brian, great to have you on the show. lauren, over to you. lauren: speaking of houses, if you're a seinfeld fan, your dream home just hit the market. the townhouse that was used for elaine's home in the sit com now up for sale. the home is in the chelsea neighborhood of new york city, a short walk from museums and parks. it spans four floors, has six bedrooms, an open kitchen and a backyard garden. if you're ready to move in, cough up $8.65 million. is that a loot for this, brian -- lot for this, brian? >> you know what, we'll see.

we'll see if that's a lot for it. cheryl: the original owners paid less than $1 million for that. that's a $7 million profit. >> god bless america. lauren: take a look at futures, a 1% gain for the dow, for the s&p 500 and the nasdaq gaining 1.2% this morning and you know what, now all three major averages, if these gains hold, certainly higher on the week. we have optimism on those trade talks continuing today with beijing and news that china is letting some more foreign money into their financial system. well, still ahead, a stranger things landmark going up for sale. good news for potential buyers. it is not the upside down. and whether it's an unexpected diet of pie deer spiders of nigp before bed, people have ideas on how to get the best he sleep. but are they myths. keep it here on "fbn: a.m.." we're invested in you and your sleep. ♪ ♪
