4:01 pm
you know usually talks to reporters on the way out. we'll keep an eye on that. i'm melissa francis in new york. this is "after the bell." hey, connell. connell: hey there, melissa. i'm connell mcshane. we welcome you to the state of wisconsin. back in 2016 we didn't realize how important this traditionally blue state in presidential politics. one year out from the next presidential election there is far more attention on wisconsin. so, if you look at it, even as job growth is being celebrated around the country, this state is one of the few where jobs have been lost this year. the non-farm employment in wisconsin down 2800 in 2019. that is in thanks to decline of 6500 manufacturing jobs. we come to you from racine county. not far from milwaukee. this area is heavy on manufacturing. it is a type of area president trump's campaign desperately want to keep red. doing so might be challenging
4:02 pm

4:03 pm
have it signed by the end of next week. that is when the apec conference was supposed to be happening in chile. that got canceled. that through everything up in the air a bit. so far the specifics when this could happen, where it could happen, have not been presented. bottom line, with all of this. speaking of days, next wednesday is shaping up to be a pretty big one in washington. house democrats announced first public hearings take place for bill taylor, top diplomat in ukraine. taylor's transcript of his deposition was released today. marie yovanovitch, former ambassador of ukraine will will be here next wednesday. president women will meet with president erdogan. that will be the first face-to-face between those two since the turkish invasion in northern syria last month. back to you.
4:04 pm
connell: blake burman at white house. pete buttigieg has taken aim at the president on the economy. saying voters in his home state of indian and across the country are asking him, what about me? joining us here in wisconsin, scott martin, kingsview, asset management. fox news contributor. paul after avasano on the panel. scott, with me in person, you're welcome, trying to make an argument about the president on economics. we've done so many stories hey, that is the area where he is strongest. mayor pete will go after him. is there argument to be made? is it trade? >> trade may be only thing. if you're saying what about me, what will you do? if stuff is wrong how do you fix it? record highs in the stock market. record high balances in 401(k)s. more jobs that can be filled.
4:05 pm
real estate prices from the terrible crash we saw years ago. i would say mayor pete what is wrong, how will you fix it if things are so bad. connell: something better than the economy. >> you have to go off track, talk around things maybe people don't understand. you try to trick them into voting for you. connell: paul, what is your take on this. >> look at the economic data that came out last week. moderate gdp growth at 1.9%. fed lowering interest rates 25 basis points which was positive for the markets and as was previously mentioned, we added 128,000 jobs. record low unemployment at 3.6%. what is not to like? melissa: the dow fighting to end with a new record close. let's go to gerri willis details. i keep watching it go back and forth into positive and negative territory as it settles out. still looks like it is negative. >> this has been, you said a volatile day at the beginning of the show. it really has been trading in a narrow range. we had optimism early. not so much. we came back, kind of break even
4:06 pm
here. dow and nasdaq are lower after hitting new, all team highs yesterday. you can't expect that to happen every single day, right? one company that is being watched today, on the negative, chesapeake energy. plunging to a 20-year low as the street is really losing faith in the shale oil driller. yesterday issued what is call a going concern notice. not good news here. the share price fell below a dollar a share. it is there as you can see. that is not something you can do every single day. bad news for chesapeake energy. it is downgraded across wall street. back to you. >> gerri, thank you for that. spending big, amazon pouring more than one million dollars into the seattle city council election while the preliminary results are not a slam-dunk for the company, the tech giant appears to come out on top in the biggest contest of the night, defeat of socialist, outspoken critic of amazon
4:07 pm
suwant. washington state votes by mail-in ballots. close races can take days to finalize. paul, when i talk to you, company give them the lay of the land, what would you say about a place like seattle? >> putting that aside for a second, like what we're seeing never before is the correlation between politics, the economy and business. and sometimes when people don't like a particular message or a particular point, they try to bifurcate that but whether you like it or not they're really related. wealthy individuals, wealthy companies, they're just doing what they're allowed to do under the law. you know, you may not like some of the point but it is what it is. melissa: yeah. scott, what do you think? >> i think seattle has to be careful, melissa. interesting aside about the amazon influence, a lot of amazon employees also contributed similarly to their company. so that kind of backs up i guess what the company was doing to paul's point. seattle has to be careful. we learned what happens with
4:08 pm
political pressure with amazon hqii outside your door in new york in the queens area. if amazon is not happy with the political climate over the course of the next few years, adios. melissa: you can only push the companies so far. scott, paul, thank you. president trump is set to depart the white house any moment before heading to a campaign rally tonight in louisiana. we'll bring you any breaking headlines. if you're feeling leak those never ending robocalls have only been getting worse, you're not alone. we're breaking down the record-setting stat coming up. what do you have, connell? >> well, we'll be talking with voters here on the ground, melissa, in wisconsin about the race in 20206789 also i have the former governor of wisconsin coming up, scott walker. that is later on in the hour. stay tuned for all of that. one farmer who has been voicing some concerns over the ongoing trade war. >> it has been over a year to 18 months these things have been

from the president, if he stops to answer questions from reporters on the south lawn. meanwhile, fox corporation, the parent company of fox business reporting first quarter results. let's go to deirdre bolton with the numbers. >> melissa, it's a beat on the top line and bottom line. we'll look first at the top line revenue. wall street expecting 2.6 billion in revenue for this fiscal first quarter. in fact the company exceeding that expectation, 2.67 what it posted. if you look at earnings, instead of 69 sent a share which is consensus, company posting 83 cents a share. i want to mention a highlight coming across through the press release. the company announced a 2 billion-dollar stock repurchase program. that is part of why at least after-hours it is not showing right now. the initial after-hours activity got a little green on the screen. investors like the share repurchase programs. they are seen enhancing
4:14 pm
shareholder value. one way to return capital to existing shareholders. we saw positive reaction to that. long story short, melissa, a beat on top and bottom line share repurchase program. back to you. melissa: deirdre, thank you. back to connell in wisconsin. >> i want a country we can be proud of with values. >> do you think president trump is giving that? >> i have some reservations. >> he knows a thing or two about business. >> when president trump came along, it was like an extra plug we needed to make, to the next step for a city like racine. >> would you say business is booming among the farm industry? >> i wouldn't say it is booming for the dairy industry. it does look a little better. connell: we've been taking a look all week long at the politics of main street, talking to local officials and business owners and farmers throughout the tour of swing states this week. we're joined live in wisconsin by a local farmer you may recognize from seconds ago. dave daniels. owner after eyeglass store in
4:15 pm
downtown raise seen. john is a racine county executive. this is nice cross-section of people to talk about the local economy. welcome, gentlemen. our crew was on your farm, good tour of understanding of the business. came back telling us there is concerns, particularly on trade. talk to us about the trade war. is it having an impact? >> it is having impact because we know tariffs are aimed at agricultural products and one of the agricultural products is dairy. i'm in the dairy business. 15% of dairy goes out of the country. so that does make an impact. connell: what do you need to see, china deal, usmca deal passed in the congress, what do you need? >> it would be nice to see all of them get to fruition, get to the finish line, especially usmca. that is in the legislative house. we hope they will take it up to vote on it. i think votes are there. connell: just a matter of getting it to the floor. we've talked about that. the votes appear to be there
4:16 pm
we'll see. ken, it's a little different as small business owner, what are your concerns? or do you remain optimistic about the economy doing quite well? how is it doing right now? >> doing well in the state of wisconsin last eight years. some things dave mentioned, they are important like usmca go through as well. but overall our economy is pretty strong. we had a few manufacturing losses. we got foxconn coming up which should easily fill most of the holes next couple years. connell: foxconn, we'll talk to scott walker, former governor, on a little bit about that. company out of taiwan, most people probably know, building a factory in this area. there is concern whether all the promises on jobs will come true, but are you confident? >> bringing back advanced manufacturing to racine county can't be overstated enough. we're confident. we see buildings going up. we see the hub of activity happening. so we are confident that this is happening. connell: let's talk a little bit about, working the economics
4:17 pm
into a political discussion. i mentioned at the top of the show, nobody, it is true, we didn't look at wisconsin as a state we're paying close attention to last time. we should have. many argue hillary clinton should have, didn't pay enough attention to it. everybody is here a year before the election. how have things changed? you're the county executive. we'll work backwards this time on the panel. or same conversation. >> racine county went from for obama in '08, 12 and trump in 2016. for a presidential election we're a purple county but people want to know rubber hitting the road. what policies affect them the most. that is what racine county is viewing. connell: ken you're a supporter of the president i understand it. you still are? >> i am. i was last minute supporter this time but very strong advocate now. connell: who were you for? >> anybody but trump except hillary. connell: that turned you. >> it came down to who is in charge of the supreme court, if
4:18 pm
i could live with my own conscience voting for hillary clinton. i could not do that. connell: now? >> pleased with a results. there was a few struggles along the way as he was figuring out how to be the president he was quite surprised he made it himself. doing a great job. comfortable. courts is doing great. economy is doing well. jobs we talked about. that is fantastic things. government is getting out of my way. connell: what about you, dave, somebody that expressed concern about trade? is that something you take into account when you vote? do you blame the president for some of ish? >> i don't blame him for the tariffs. he is trying to do things get trade issues updated and things in a better place. a lot of things the administration did for the agriculture. 2018 we got a job bill done before the end of the year. sometimes six or eight months after that before it gets done. tax credits going to dairy farmers once we make money. connell: you see it as a
4:19 pm
pro-business administration? >> no doubt, would be supportive of it next time around. is there anybody here, we were in michigan yesterday, talking about alternatives in states, heavy manufacturing states, what about on the democratic side, do you see anyone that you could possibly support like a former vice president biden or to ask the question a different way or some of the other candidate too far to the left for you? >> i think for the most part they have swung really far to the left. i'm a little more on conservative side. connell: ken, you explained where you stand. >> if biden was 20 years younger i would have concern. but i don't. his age, lack of energy is going to tank him, whether he or warren becomes the ultimate opponent. connell: jonathan, last word? >> partnering with the white house, bringing foxconn here is positive. connell: that will come to fruition. that is a big deal. >> it is. connell: tell me why. >> advanced manufacturing returning to united states, returning to racine county. we're getting high-paying jobs. people work or spending disposable income.
4:20 pm
it is great news. connell: thank you all three of you, all different walks of life, how different sections of economy, how things are going. maybe we're back before the next election. nobody is ignoring wisconsin. >> we would love to have you. connell: we do have real quick some news to get to, on one of the places we visited earlier in the week. you remember chester county, pennsylvania, philadelphia suburbs, turns out democrats have a big night, they flipped the chester county district attorney's office, reason that is important, first time it ever happened. the party won race for sheriff. took majority on board of commissioners. first time that happened in history. so we'll see if that means anything at all as we head into the 2020 election. of. how do you brew a successful small business? meantime we'll find out. we're at the racine brewing company. we have that coming up. what else do we have, melissa? melissa: that was a great interview. high-tech manufacturing bringing it back, that is what people are

melissa: "fox business alert." streaming company roku, the company reported a loss of 22 cents a share, up from nine cent a share a year ago. company exciting higher costs to attract subscribers as the reason for the decline. roku also saying that disney plus is expected to launch soon on its platform. taking new steps, away from the nuclear deal, iran will start injecting uranium gas at midnight into more than 1000 centrifuges at a fortified nuclear facility. chris harmer, a retired navy commander. thanks for joining us. i love the way you put politics to the side on this stuff.
4:26 pm
give us the straight scoop. what does it mean? >> it means iran is looking for a way out of the nuclear deal. what they really want more than anything is relief of sanctions. they're looking to back out of the nuclear deal as leverage to force us to to relieve sanctions. without politics, nuclear deal is bad deal. for number one they issued a torrent of cash to finance terrorism and improve nuclear capability without enriching uranium. because the senate never ratified the treaty, the american public never got a vote when the treaty would be extant long term. it is falling apart. now we have to go start over from scratch. melissa: that is interesting distinction. you said they were using money to improve the nuclear capability. i assume because they continued testing ballistic missiles. does anything here, you know, with this latest step, tell you that they were still working on
4:27 pm
plans in secret in the meantime or no? >> yeah, absolutely. look there is no doubt that the iranians never intended abide by substance agreement. superficially enough to relieve sanctions. i will accept a article of faith they were not enriching uranium, maybe they were, maybe they weren't, absolutely categorically they improved enrichment capability. they used money they got insigning for nuclear deal. they improveed the nuke clear enrichment capability. at same time they were using that cash to improve the ballistic missile program. so it doesn't do you any good to have a nuclear weapon unless you can deliver it. the iranians have the capability in spades. they have a massive ballistic missile program. it is not as good for western standards but good enough for their purposes. they have nuclear technology.
4:28 pm
they are starting enrichment again. what they want for us to engage in a new nuclear plan, nuclear treaty will give them permanent relief of sanctions. i don't think that will happen. melissa: when we look at everything went on to turkey and syria, and the turn of events where you know, a lot of people are very critical of president trump for looking the other way with president erdogan, however you want to categorize whatever happened there, these folks are allies of iran. how does that situation fit with this one? because everything is connected. >> it is incredibly difficult situation. if you allow me to take a small stroll down memory lane. it was seven years ago i first appeared on your program. that was the 2012 near beginning of syrian war, i told you at that time, at least my note said we have bad options, we have worse options and we have horrible options. i don't criticize president obama or president trump from
4:29 pm
macro perspective because there is no good option there. i would say from a strategic perspective, one thing i criticize president trump for abandoning the kurds because they were the only proxy force in the middle east we could consistently count on to be loyal to us to be effective. iran definitely improved the strategic situation in syria. they have the land bridge over to hezbollah to lebanon they wanted. that is threatened by protests in iraq and lebanon. for the time-being iran still has a very solid strategic position in the aftermath of the syrian civil war. melissa: what a mess. chris harmer, thank you for breaking it down for us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. melissa: soaring to new highs, americans received a record number of robocalls in this one month alone. what you need to know coming up. major warning before your next flight. a new study revealing many of the u.s. most popular airlines don't provide safe drinking water. they could even make you sick!

melissa: "fox business alert." we're waiting for president trump to depart the white house. the president is holding a campaign rally in louisiana tonight. we will bring you any headlines from the president if he stops and speaks to reporters on the south lawn. but for now, back to wisconsin. >> foxconn is one of the biggest invests we'll see in the united states in the last 100 years. it is happening six miles from where i'm standing. we're expecting that to bring a lot of jobs, a lot of production, a lot of wealth into our community. connell: "back to the future." plan to bring a taiwanese tech company foxconn to this area
4:35 pm
where we are one of president trump's first moves to bring back manufacturing jobs when he first took office. there was a big groundbreaking ceremony last summer, not far from where we are today here in racine and the question becomes will the company be able to bring jobs it promised? the former governor of the state scott walker says, foxconn is still on track for a ribbon cutting in 2020. the governor played a role in getting foxconn to commit to wisconsin. good to see you, sir. >> great to be with you. connell: questions on a few of topics. we've had a good day in wisconsin. boy, an interesting state politically. what about foxconn, bringing jobs, will it happen as they promised? >> they will have a rib -- ribbon cutting early next year. one of the largest economic development projects in the state's history or nation's history. they were talking about 13,000 good paying jobs and 10 billion-dollar investment. a part of the state where you
4:36 pm
see in a state already booming. southeastern wisconsin, racine, kenosha county in particular is booming. one of the big challenges that area will have like other parts of the country is finding a workforce to fill those positions. connell: yes. one of the things though, you mentioned they were originally talked about 13,000 jobs. it may not live up to the hype there. may not get to 13,000. are you disappointed the way the process played out given where it started in? >> no. the bottom line this is a deal they get credits based upon performance. we said all along we expect they will get or exceed that original number. but even if say they got 10,000, 7,000, whatever number they get, they only get tax credits based on the performance is. that would be still one of the biggest economic development projects in state history but i'm confident going forward they will create the jobs they talked about of the they will be good-paying, family supporting high-tech jobs we need in the state of wisconsin and it will
4:37 pm
transform that area the same way a company like microsoft did for the state of washington. connell: that would be something. i want to bring you back to 2016 a little bit. we were talking before the show today, because, you know, i was in the studio in new york with neil cavuto on election night. i was working maps. looking at it, boy, if wisconsin goes for trump, could that happen? there some footage from that night, november 8th, 2016 and it did. it was a tipping point state. being here a few years later, it could be a tipping point again, do you think? how do you think things changed since 2016? what do you expect next year? >> by every account i don't think i've seen a map or anywhere, any show, doesn't have wisconsin as pivotal state when it comes to electing the next president. reelecting donald trump or electing one of the democrats. why you see all the attention, all the focus, rightfully so, in many ways we're a snapshot of america. you have large urban areas. you have communities built
4:38 pm
around college campuses. rural areas, suburban areas. industrial cities in between. it's a little bit of everything. we see that reflected in the elections for u.s. senate, for governor, other statewide offices. saw it in 2016. we'll see it again in 2020. no doubt about it -- connell: quick final point. >> building strong economy, he will do well in wisconsin. connell: that was my quick final point. you made it for me. i was asking how do you think he is positioned. thank you for coming on the show. good to have the conversation. we're having a good day in wisconsin. >> pleasure. connell: continue from the state. scott martin is with us, listening in on the conversation as well. we talked about the markets earlier. what stood out from the former governor? >> i loved the foxconn comments, to me, connell that needs to happen. he talked about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, need it january 2nd for the state to refire for the republicans. we saw from the gubernatorial election a year ago, the margin of victory for democrat
4:39 pm
candidate, tony evers was razor shin. in 2016 election, 27,000 votes separated hillary and donald trump. they need foxconn going to fire up -- connell: you drove up from chicago. you have family in wisconsin. how important manufacturing is in the state. we talk about numbers, maybe it topped off or turning lower. where are you sensitive now. >> it had a great run. things are cyclical. things ebb and flow. some trade concerns certainly suppressed manufacturing activity. we seen certainly suppressed on sentiment numbers. which leads to less r&d, less production. i think trade concerns me. get a little bit alleviated i see manufacturing firing up again in 2020. connell: we're about to free you. enjoy yourself at the brewery. >> finally. that is what i came for. connell: had a feeling. brewing success in america's heartland. that is the transition.
