4:01 pm
unched. walmart hit record high earlier today, then it turned lower strangely enough after strong quarterly earnings after the the after holiday season. good to be with you. i'm connell mcshane. melissa: i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." record close for the s&p 500 would be the second this week. the nasdaq appears to end in negative territory. can't get there more on the on the big market movers. first here is what is new this hour. president trump is about to depart the to the white house. the president will make his way to a louisiana campaign rally tonight. we'll bring you any headlines from the president if he stops to speak to reporters on the south lawn. capitol hill, a possible breakthrough on the usmca. full house democratic caucus is meeting to discuss the future of the trade deal. a new look for the ford mustang. we are breaking down the electric gamble for the automaker. connell: fox business team coverage of all our top stories
4:02 pm
today. blake burman live at the white house. gerri willis on the floor of the new york stock exchange. edward lawrence with the the latest on trade from washington, d.c. gerri, we start with you. silly dow turned a little bit lower on us. >> that's true. no unch for walmart if you know what i mean. that stock had an incredible quarter. shares are down because i think the thing has gotten so expensive. here is what happened in the quarter. sales extended the growth streak for five years. think about it. comp sales up 3.2%. e-commerce up 41%. the company is raising its guidance because it see as great big christmas turkey. they think it will be a great holiday season of the stock hitting all-time high, pulling back. here is the tell you should pay attention to. look at comparison, amazon, walmart, year-to-date. amazon shares up 16.8%. you think that is a winner? no. walmart up 28.7% on the year. this company is going strong. they have numbers to prove it. who else likes the report?
4:03 pm
donald trump he tweeted this. walmart announces great numbers. no impact from tariffs which are contributing billions to our treasury. he says inflation low. do you hear that, powell? trump is a big fan of walmart. the company also announcing or showing that is its ads for black friday. here is what we got going on. online sales start 11/27. november 27, 10:00 p.m. those sales go into the brick-and-mortar stores on thanksgiving day when they start shopping. they're talking about really great deal on apple products, manner of electronics equipment, toys, a lot to see there. big quarter for walmart, beating the pants off amazon right now. back to you. connell: gerri, thanks. melissa: let's bring in today's panel. jeff sica circle squared and doug flynn, flynn capital management founder. thanks to both of you for joining me. jeff, what do you take away from walmart? >> they are great numbers but we
4:04 pm
see we have a war of attrition. there are only handful of retailers surviving this massacre in retail. i think it's a great number. it shows walmart was able to adapt to the online. i think, what we saw the online numbers. melissa: yeah. >> up around 40% which is fantastic. so, you know, as usual walmart has been, walmart has been one of the most adaptable companies that are able to grow with the times and they're automobile to take advantage of the demise of brick-and-mortar retail. they are still standing. they are stronger than ever. melissa: doug, i mean the ons slaut, slaughter, all the words jeff used are really working for me as a shopper. there is just more on my phone, more variable. i can compare price very easily. who's winning the shopper or the investor? >> both of them actually. as far as the shopper goes no doubt i was in a store the other day i saw price, i thought that was good.
4:05 pm
i had a coupon. lo and behold it was cheaper on my phone. melissa: why did you go into a store? you're not spoused to do that anymore. i don't go into stores. >> i needed prescription, i was there i ended up not buying it. there is that. when it comes to online, walmart has done a fantastic job taking advantage of ever increasing shift towards online. not that amazon is not already there taking advantage of it, but they really made inroads. they're coming from a smaller space. that gives them a lot of opportunities. the sales face it are twice as big as amazon. really only one-fourth the size in terms of volatility. half the market cap. there is some opportunity there relative to amazon. connell: happening right now meantime in washington, the democratic caucus meeting to talk about, usmca, the trade deal. this as president trump is getting set to head to louisiana moments from now where he will have a campaign rally tonight. earlier in the day, speaker of the house, nancy pelosi said
4:06 pm
passage of the so-called new nafta through congress could be imminent. she hopes they get it done this calendared year. with that as a set up. blake burman live at white house following all the developments. reporter: hi, there, connell. there's a sense on both sides of the pennsylvania avenue right now getting the usmca to the house floor for a vote at some point here, potentially by the end of the year is getting close. you talked about nancy pelosi, rather bullish comments she made earlier today regarding the usmca, at one point saying quote, i with like to see us get it done this year. she also talked up how this deal between the u.s., canada, mexico, is constructed. >> we are moving postively in terms of the u.s. mexico canada agreement. again it all comes down to enhancement. excuse me, enforcement. enhancement too. but enforcement. we have, i do believe that if we can get this to the place it needs to be, which is imminent,
4:07 pm
that this can be a template for future trade agreements. reporter: back over here an administration source told me earlier today their feeling right now is quote, unquote, things are happening. we also heard from the top republican on the house ways and means committee, kevin brady. he suggested as well, potentially this could make its way through the house this year. >> i think the discussions between house democrats and white house have been very productive. look, this is a dream deal for labor democrats. it has provisions they never achieved ever before. port pot it outstanding questions, connell still remain with this one, which is it going to be brought to the house floor? if so when? and at that point are democrats willing to give president trump a political victory if you want to look at it that way allowing his signature trade deal to date to go forward? connell. connell: in the midst of impeachment hearings.
4:08 pm
blake burman on the north lawn. melissa: fox business confirming trade talks between the u.s. and china officials took place today. let's go to edward lawrence with details on this. edward? reporter: those trade talks are going forward here. the u.s. trade representative, i'm told from sources within the administration, trade sources that there was a deputy level phone conversation between the u.s. and chinese trade teams. i'm told there is progress that is being made towards getting that phase one deal down on paper. what i am not told, still asking about, is the timeline going to hold? originally the administration wanted to see if they get it down on paper, signed the next few days. the president was supposed to leave today for the apex summey which was canceled. the president expected during the summit to sign a phase one trade deal from china. what happened, the chinese bought another round of soybeans a large purchase of soybeans according to the u.s. agriculture department. also the chinese lifted the ban
4:09 pm
on poultry delivered into the united states, imported from the u.s. into china. the u.s. trade representative says poultry industry is one billion dollar transport or industries from the u.s. to china. so that would be a boon for farmers when they start buying. back to you. melissa: edward, thank you. connell: reshaping the local economic landscape, housing prices soaring in arlington, virginia, since the announcement of amazon's second headquarters which came a year ago. meantime new york city real estate prices have gone down. the company decided against a similar plan in this area following local protests. jeff, you first on this one. the amazon effect i guess what do you make of this? >> garden city was a perfect example. here you had, here you had prices surge in guarden city when amazon announced. connell: long island city. >> long island city, i'm sorry. you have what is happening in arlington county, seeing 30, 35% increases in home prices.
4:10 pm
this shows that amazon coming into your neighborhood is a good thing. there is nothing that i could see outside of a few outlyer negatives that would make this a bad thing. i think we have to pay close attention to what happened here. i was a big advocate of trying to keep them in the tri-state area. connell: yep. >> but now the people in arlington county in virginia are going to benefit for years to come. you're talking about maybe 50,000 jobs in the next few years, in the next few years. that is a tremendous advantage to them being there. connell: jeff says, good thing. you know the argument on the other side. people come in, say, look at these numbers in arlington, virginia, you have an affordability problem. that is what people on that side of the argument have said what side are you on? what do you say about the amazon effect? >> problem here losing, he is right, 25,000 jobs directly, and
4:11 pm
25,000 downstream jobs that means people will have to move guard out to make things affordable like they do anywhere else. but really does give the opportunity. it's a missed opportunity here of which they yet even talked about replacing. aoc was the big one who tried to squash it here but i haven't heard anything what will we do to replace all of that here? over there they will benefit. that is the point. people here were trying to take advantage of that, speculate, buy up some of the property as they have done over there as well. overall it's a plus. but it will be an affordability issue but the bottom line, the consumer is doing really well. incomes are up. this is furthering that, making it perhaps easier to afford it, you might have to move out further than downtown. connell: thank you, doug, jeff. thanks as always. melissa: doubling down on a wealth tax, elizabeth warren taking the fight against billionaires to a public platform. critics say her push could backfire on the 2020 race? are they right? connell: searching for answers. california regulators launching a former probe into the planned

♪. connell: "fox business alert" on the tragedy today in california. two people confirmed dead. at least three others wounded after a student opened fire at a high school north of los angeles before then turning the gun on himself. the suspected shooter in custody in grave condition at a nearby hospital according to officials. we'll keep you updated if there are any developments. melissa: now on to the 2020 white house race. elizabeth warren is attacking billionaires critical of her wealth tax in a new political ad. take a listen. >> it is time for a wealth tax in america! [cheering] i heard there are some billionaires who don't support this plan. >> viliification of billionaires makes no sense to me. it's bull. >> she would ruin what we have. >> she probably thinks more cataclysmic change to the
4:17 pm
economic system as opposed to tinkering. >> i'm most scared by elizabeth warren. melissa: wow. all right, joining us now vin coglianese, "the daily caller" executive editor. what do you think of that ad, will it work? >> as long as any billionaire responds, man, that elizabeth warren is a threat, that will appeal to her populist base. if the goal is to attract voters in her campaign in the democratic primary. that seems to be a strategy that is working. this is not the first time we've seen billionaires complain about elizabeth warren. recently mark zuckerberg was concerned if she became president of united states that he would need to mount a legal defense to keep facebook alive. plenty of billionaires are expressing concern. when you see leon cooperman, that elizabeth warren doesn't know what she is talk abouting i will go to war against her, that
4:18 pm
makes voters interested in her campaign. melissa: is she a populist? to my mind she is a socialist. wants a government power grab. populists don't want to grow the size of government. she seizes money from everyone and she doles out things like health care and whatever else as she sees fit? >> right. actually this is one of the great ironies of people who are socialists like her although she doesn't like the label. reality is, that this is someone who says look at these disgusting concentrations of power, they're ruining your life. the answer is a massive concentration of power. in the government that leads to deep corruption. that is what elizabeth warren wants to create. melissa: she wants all the power and all the money for herself. vince, stick around for this one. as if the democratic field was not big enough, one more candidate with ties to wall street, whoo-hoo, is jumping into the white house race. hillary vaughn on capitol hill with the details. reporter: deval patrick is the
4:19 pm
freshest face in the race filing to put his name on the ballot in new hampshire today. before he did he called his senator elizabeth warren to break the news. >> first of all i want to, i want to acknowledge my, my friendship and enormous respect in particular with senator warren. i talked to her last night. i think it was kind of a hard conversation for both of us, frankly. reporter: senator warren name dropped patrick, her former governor this week as someone she might consider for her cabinet if she were to become president. warren has come to the top of the 2020 field picking fights awith the wealthy along the way. patrick doesn't see capitalism as a dirty word like some socialists in the race like bernie sanders have is a right way and wrong way to do things transactions will go sideways without private equity.
4:20 pm
capitalism, i'm a capitalist, have a lot to answer for. reporter: patrick stepped down as a role of managing director at bain capital and already aware his ties to a private equity firm could cloud his campaign like it did for another massachusetts governor turned presidential candidate mitt romney when he ran against barack obama in 2012. patrick brought that up today, saying he did not buy obama's attacks against romney back then and he still doesn't today. back to you. melissa: good luck on that. so, does he have a chance? what this race really needed was more super loaded dudes. i mean we had almost, bloomberg, trump, although everybody says does he really have that much money? another from bain capital. oh, thank goodness. >> tom steyer too, the billionaire. melissa: yeah. bloomberg. >> he is jumping in, bain capital, important to remember the private equity firm. the left often referred to this as rather than a venture
4:21 pm
capital, vulture capital that they go in wreck companies and destroy jobs. this is, there is no appetite for this on the left. definitely no appetite in the base. the appetite for this comes from the donor class of the democratic party, the corporate donor class of the democratic party that is panicking about elizabeth warren. this is smash glass with golden hammer in case of emergency. melissa: >> that is why this guy is jumping in. it was amazing warren would voice any support for him in her cabinet, a private equity guy? that is insane. melissa: that is exactly who is panicking. it is rich folks on the left that are panicking. if you go back to the last race in 2016, the securities and investment industry gave $88 million, to, hillary clinton. they gave 21 million to trump. they don't like trump. they don't like warren. who do they like? they like these big, these wealthy guys on the left and gals on the left. that is who they're putting in the race. it is interesting, barack obama

was behind this too. we don't know. meantime senator bernie sanders and congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez unveiling a 180 billion-dollar plan to overhaul public housing. as part of their "green new deal," also known as a giant trojan horse, the "green new deal," what do you think of this one? >> i think this is their effort to try to come up with the easiest possible entry vehicle they can find for the "green new deal," because 93 trillion-dollar complete economic overhaul of the economy that aoc came up with in the first place, it just did not appeal to people. as soon they find out she wants to destroy fossil fuel industry, destroy energy jobs across the country, that wasn't flying t was way too costly. this is the camel's nose under the tent this is the effort to try to get the "green new deal" some attention and i just don't think voters are going for it, not right now. >> last one we never would fly in planes again. she found out a way getting paid

melissa: fox news just learning that attorney general william barr is at the white house right now meeting with president trump. the president is expected to depart shortly for a campaign rally in louisiana tonight. we'll bring you comments from president trump, if he stops to answer questions from reporters on his way to joint base andrews. he usually does that. it is usually fun. we'll see. connell: all right. new look after 55 years. how about this? ford just completely altering
4:28 pm
the look of one of its newest mustang models. apparently will call it mach e. four door mustang unveiled on sunday. gary gastelu, will join us. this is risky for ford by definition. the mustang is not a car and doesn't use gas. so i guess the question will be whether it is worth the risk. what do you think of it? >> it is pivotal deal and putting 55 years of mustang brand on the table to generate excitement t has looks of a mustang. they could have called it mach e, went all in, called it mustang mach e, in the hopes it has the same reaction the mustang did 55 years ago. people went nuts and sold millions of them in the couple years. this is the ford first electric car from the ground up. the first of many coming pretty

soon. if it's a not a hit, it's a bellwether or the industry that they will not capture lightning in a bottle the way tesla had. transition to electrics will be like transition from v8s to turbocharged v-6s. there will not be a big moment they can get they are hoping for but look, old time mustang fans may not like this idea at all. that is the where the risk is. if you annoy them, loyalist customers, they were polled not so much by the idea of electric mustang but the idea of suv mustang, that is really where the issue is. we'll see what happens on sunday. connell: the comparison people made about porsche with the cayenne. if you want a porsche 911, you will not buy a s-sv. that was successful s that a fair comparison? i'm sure ford hopes so. >> ford has that in mind. par that, lamborghini have suvs look like they're sports
4:30 pm
guys but not called the 911 suv but they came up with new brand names for those. as big of a deal as mustang is, ford sales 57,000 in the united states. 115,000 worldwide. it is not one of the best-sellers. if people walk away from that, somehow makes it feel i don't want to own a must tank anymore, it will not kill them on that side but the really important thing how well this does. ford hasn't said how many they plan on selling. it will be the calling card for the rest of the electric lineup that will be coming in the next few years. they're putting $11 billion into it. connell: right. >> this thing needs to be a hit. connell: we'll hear how they price it on sunday. that will give us something to talk about on monday. gary, good to see you. melissa: amid a growing outcry, california regulators are taking a major step to hold pg&e accountable for blackouts that left nearly 2 million in the dark. we'll talk to fox news judicial

4:36 pm
meeting. we do know, however, there will be a second day as judge andrew napolitano joins us now of impeachment hearings tomorrow on capitol hill. the judge is fox's senior judicial analyst. host of the "fox nation" liberty file. set it up for the viewers tomorrow. we don't know what the two are meeting about at the white house. yesterday the acting ambassador, bill taylor give us some new information. he said that one of his staffers overheard a phone call and now from what we understand, that staffer that overheard the call, will testify behind closed doors not at public hearing. how important what we might hear tomorrow is? >> to close the loop what we learned about 45 minutes ago, we learned another staffer has reported that he or she also overheard the call. now, this call took place between the president of the united states, somewhere in the u.s. and ambassador sondland in
4:37 pm
a restaurant in kiev. there are a lot of security implications here. he must have been at a table with others, and these others are beginning to say they overheard it. what they say they overheard was ambassador sondland assuring the president that the ukrainians were onboard with the investigations. now this is fuel to the fire for democrats because they interpret this to mean, and this phone call was the day after the president's phone call of july 25th, 2019, with the president of ukraine. the democrats will interpret this to mean that the president was pushing investigations of joe biden or hillary clinton in 2016 and was holding up the 391 million until he was satisfied the investigations were underway. further that argument. connell: the real big testimony seems to me will come next week from ambassador sondland himself, the person said to be on the phone call with president trump. mark meadows, a staunch defender of the president.
4:38 pm
the republican congressman, in his view, that is the big one. sondland as he put it, holds the key to whether or not president trump will ultimately be i will peached. what do you say? >> ambassador sondland, as you know, gave private, under oath recorded testimony, then corrected himself in writing four days later, the correction was 180 degrees from the original testimony. so some skepticism about him. one respect what he did was great, you realize you made a mistake, you correct it. you can do that in the law. the other way to look at it, why didn't you say this the first time when we were all with you when you were under oath? congressman meadows is right. the language he used, ambassador sondland is the wild card. we don't know what to expect. the democrats case could very well rise or fall on him this, one man, a trump donor who was a hotelier and restaurateur become the ambassador to ukraine, excuse me, to the european
4:39 pm
union. never imagine he would be at the center after impeachment firestorm. connell: he is already and will be next week. one other topic for the judge, while he is here, from california, judge. the utility company, pg&e, now under investigation. california regulators passing unanimous vote to launch this probe into planned power outages we reported on the left. millions of people are in the dark. where might this investigation of the company -- they did this on purpose, where might this investigation of the power outages lead? >> i think this is, this is a fraud, the investigation, i'll tell you why. because pg&e is the, is the monopolist. pg&e is the public utility that the state of california chose to provide electricity to the exclusion of all others. what does that mean? that means they have already access to their records. they don't need to start the investigation. they get all the records. that is part of the deal when you become the monopolist. i think this is a political
4:40 pm
move, because the turning off electricity so infuriating to so many innocent people nowhere near the fires, people who need electricity to stay alive, keep their businesses alive, that the governor is responding to that political pressure. connell: wants to make it look like they're doing something? >> precisely. in fact they already have the records they now claim they're looking for. connell: judge, good to see you as always. >> pleasure. connell: okay. melissa: taking romans out of existing. women are not waiting on men to take the lead. how the shift is impacting retailers during the most wonderful time of the year. plus season of giving. what you need to know about the celebrity gift guides. that's next.
