have 10 million subscribers for their new disney plus service. walgreens, we've got lots of folks interested in taking that company private. now kkr offering to do it. boeing saying they're getting the max back into service. so big news there for the dow. i love wearing this hat. hopefully we can stay above the level. right, ladies? neil: gerri. melissa: commerce secretary wilbur ross telling fox business the china trade deal on the horizon. the trade deal on the usmca costing economy billions. fox business's edward lawrence is live on capitol hill with the latest. edward? reporter: do i get a hat with all this? melissa: absolutely. reporter: markets love the trade news. first of all china. commerce secretary wilbur ross says he wants to make sure that the u.s. wants to make sure everything that china promises is written down in the deal. he does say though that he is

hopeful that we're getting close to that phase one trade deal. >> i think there is a very high probability of it. at the last minute we were disappointed in may. maybe we get disappointed again now. if we do, the president is made quite clear he is happy to live with this situation where we impose tariffs. so we're really in a win-win position. reporter: others in the administration saying this is close to the finish line on a phase one trade deal. the president had one wanted the deal on paper by the apex summit timeline. the summit was canceled. that means they have to be on paper today or tomorrow in order for that to happen. white house economic advisor larry kudlow saying that they are still on that apex schedule going forward. now one delay that has. irked te president, is radification of the usmca. president says they should give

the american people a win and put that up for a vote. >> they should approve usmca. by the way it is the greatest trade deal ever made. they should stop playing games. [applause] you know, mexico signed it many months ago. canada keeps calling me, when is this deal going to happen? is this deal going to happen? it is sitting on nancy pelosi's desk. reporter: house speaker nancy pelosi saying ratification scheduled vote could be imminent but still is concerned about enforcement in the agreement. we'll have to see what happens. back to you. melissa: edward, thank you. >> health care stocks contributing to the rally. president trump outlined a major change to the system. blake berman at the white house. what was the big take wais? reporter: clearly the white house, deirdre, making the argument what is going on capitol hill, what is happening in the building behind me the president taking on issues that matter to voters. the issue at hand was pricing transparency in the health care industry. now here's the new rule starting

in 2021. hospitals have to make public the rates they negotiate with insurers. the administration is also proposing a new rule that would force insurers to enforce costs and negotiated rates online at some.down line. president says this will lead to lower prices, comparative shopping. >> our goal was to give patients the knowledge they need about the real price of health care services. they will be able to check them, compare them, go to different locations. so they can shop for the highest quality care at the lowest cost. reporter: on the impeachment front. the white house also released the first transcript today of the very first call between president trump and president zelensky of ukraine. it's a largely congratulatory call. though questions will likely be raised about its completeness as the initial reed out from the white house the two talked about corruption. deirdre, this transcript had no mention of corruption at all.

melissa: blake, thanks. telling voters what will happen to their money if they vote for a democrat in 2020. >> you can show the far left democrats, that you won't stand for their socialism and their corruption. you know your 401(k)s are through the roof, right? you know that. [cheering] if you want to see them go down, start voting democrat. you will see them cut in half, a lot further than that. melissa: bring in today's panel. lanhee chen, hoover institute and anneke green, a former speechwriter for president bush. you were writing speeches. what did you think what he said there. >> that is smart and memorable, the older generation saying i want my portfolio to stay high. need the 401(k) contributions, younger generations maybe for the first time i can afford to contribute here. melissa: lanhee, as you look at the field of democrats, he makes that argument, i'm the best one

for portfolio. state from a money point of view? >> so far we're not seeing it. i think democrats are being pushed further and further to the left. if you look at a lot of plans out there, from elizabeth warren or bernie sanders or even joe biden, or pete buttigieg what we see higher taxes more spending and we see factors that would tend to depress economic growth, tend to depress the growth of capital stock, things we would want to see to grow the economy, get the stock market continuing in an upward direction. so i don't see any democrat at this point posing a challenge. this will be a big problem for the democratic party because people still vote their pocketbooks at the end of the day. >> not formally in the race yet, billionaire michael bloomberg is definitely on the scene. spending an unprecedented record, $100 million on anti-trump ads.

they're digital. they appear in four swing state as of today. lanhee in unusual twist he is not featuring himself in his own ads. do you think this is his way of being a team player? keep some would be competitors at bay, if he is the nominee, hey i have a lot of money? >> yeah i think that is exactly it. i think he is trying to demonstrate he has the capacity to run a campaign because he has the financial resources to invest in everything from voter contact to campaign infrastructure to paid advertising. the challenge is none of this is going to benefit him directly right now unless he is able to associate himself with it some way. tom steyer spent a whole year talked about impeaching trump. it hasn't helped hill as he entered race as one of these democratic candidates. mike bloomberg will have to make a formal decision whether he is in or out. meantime he is doing everything he can to attack president trump. >> based on what lanhee just said, michael bloomberg was the

mayor of new york city. he has a larger public service record than the other billionaire at least in the race, tom steyer. will that make a difference if he decides to go through with it on a national campaign? >> i think right now he is enjoying the speculation. it will be helpful to him. there are 17 candidates still in the race. that is a lot of people for voters to try to keep straight. so if he were to enter right now, i people wouldn't necessarily compare him to steyer. media would but he would run the risk of blending into the crowd. if throws his hat into the ring, he was like, the other guest was saying, he has been looking like a team player, at very least, if he doesn't get nomination, he will be on the short list for a cabinet position. >> thank you very much. melissa: major medical reversal. why a former fda advisor who originally voted to approve lasik eye surgery now says the procedure should be taken off the market. is he right? we'll talk to dr. devi at this hour. >> a deadly warning ahead of the

deirdre: investors shrugging off a contentious day in washington, d.c. the dow officially closing above 28,000 for the first time but the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, she is on your tv screens all day, testifying in the second impeachment hearing. hillary vaughn with us from capitol hill. so tons of headlines from this event, hillary. what stood out? reporter: deirdre, today's witness, former ambassador marie yovanovitch did not show up with any first-hand information about the july 25th phone call, or any information what led to a temporary pause in military aid for ukraine but house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff says that was not the point of her showing up today. she was showing up on a face what they say is alleged

corruption in the white house. >> ambassador, i just, i don't really have very many questions for you. you admitted in your opening statement you don't have any first-hand knowledge of -- >> do you have any information regarding the president of the united states accepting any bribes? >> no. >> do you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the united states has been involved with at all? >> no. >> isn't it true that the only reason aid or only time the aid went to the ukrainians was after the whistleblower complaint was made public? >> yes it was after the whistleblower complaint made public. >> you don't really get points when you get your hand caught in the cookie jar? reporter: today's bombshell did not come from what was said inside of the hearing room. it came from twitter when the president tweeted about the witness while she was testifying

today. chairman schiff read the tweet to yovanovitch and asked her to react real time. >> the president implicitly threatened you in the call record. now the president real time is attacking you. what affect do you think that has on other witnesses willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing? >> well, it is very intimidating. reporter: that exchange is exactly what both democrats and republicans were talking about when they left this hearing room and came here to talk to us. democrats saying that trump tweet was obviously a key point, pivotal point for them. but republicans are brushing it off. >> that she had to endure yet another attack today even as she was testifying that the president of the united states is just appalling but as we have observed so often, appalling in this administration is not the

least bit surprising. nonetheless, she endured the attack and went on. we're grateful for that. reporter: republicans are saying that the president's tweet was not witness intimidation. it was a characterization of yovanovitch's resume'. deirdre? deirdre: hillary, thanks so much. melissa: we have james press a former doj prosecutor. was your big takeaway from today? who won? >> tv ratings won but not many other people. it was pretty, pretty in the weeds kind of conversation. i spent a lot of time focusing the way the questions were asked and i was largely disappointed by republican counsel the way he would not get in and get out with his very articulate and pretty talented witness. there was a lot of technical flaws. the big moment of the president's tweet being brought to the fore by mr. schiff, not much in terms of moving actual

needle about impeachment. >> take into account the tweet. they kept asking her how did you feel, how did you feel? were you mistreated. it lent to the idea her feelings were hurt and the president, kind of stomped all over her. how close does that get to you impeachment? i mean he kind of stomps on a bunch of people? >> every day there is somebody that can claim being stomped. look, mr. goldman, the guy did the questioning is former federal prosecutor. a lot of experience. i think very talented the way he conducted his direct examination. i think what he was doing was essentially peeling the onion in front of her trying to get her to cry a little bit, apparently happened behind closed doors, that would be a great sympathetic moment. she didn't rise to the bait. there is room from the other side, saying wait a minute, this is elite narcissistic class of people that feel like they're entitled to run government no matter who is the president, that they took offense with a

president who came in started taking names and numbers. there was room to cross-examine a little bit about her bias. about herself interest being fired. i thought it was done in fairly clumsy fashion most of the day. melissa: to people who voted for trump. here is somebody whose whole value and power are derived the way things are done, way things are always done, all those people are threatened by the president who was elected because people are sick of hearing, this is the way it is done. we never get anything in return for the money we send to other countries. we never do anything about corruption in other places. people who supported the president are tired of people like this, sort of sitting there saying this is how it always happens. when they asked her, one moment i thought was missed was they went over the conversation between the two presidents and the ukrainian president said that he didn't think she was going to support him. do we know why he would think

that this, our ambassador to the u.s. wouldn't support the new president of the country? >> yeah. no. that's a huge question that is kind of left unasked. you know, again, backing up to the big picture for a second. this whole impeachment, this whole question whether there was arguable crime committed by the president is completely rebutted by the prime minister of ukraine, who publicly said repeatedly, i never felt pressured, bribed, i wasn't extorted. we're into the weeds of intergovernmental working relationships, state department people coming together against roughian president but we're not getting in i answers to something critical. melissa: their case is demanded quid pro quo, he didn't get it, now impeach him. is there more to it? even if you take, take them, so demanded this thing, he didn't get it. he released the aid. now they want him impeached? >> he didn't link it to

anything. there is no obvious linkage to the funds being withheld. so i think the ship sailed in terms of proving actual criminal statute violation, you can always if you're adam schiff, they're resisting. they're disagreeing, they're tweeting, therefore there is obstruction. coverup, not the crime kind of thing. that is where you will see schiff, shift things from this point forward to say it is all about obstruction and abuse of power, which is kind of undefinable. melissa: we know that democrats went and did some testing on people in swing state, they thought that it made sense to move to bribery. sounds like in your mind bribery is not working. they will try to go to whatever is next. do you think that will be more luck? >> i think they will get vague. they will go with notions of abuse of power, look how mean he was to a diplomat that has done many good things. bribery there doesn't work for the same problem. there is no pro, for the quid prowould, asking and corrupt

withholding. melissa: james, he is a big mean any. that is their case. not you. the president. you're very nice. thank you. >> see ya. deirdre: crying foul. amazon lost a lucrative pentagon contract to microsoft. the tech giant is taking big steps to contest the decision. we'll tell you what they are. plus the drugs you're picking up at dollar tree may be putting you in danger. the fda with a dire warning. we'll bring it to you later this hour. allocation in health sciens was the potential to help many people through investments that help fund medical innovation. my team and i often choose to invest at the very early stages of human trials. investing lets me use everything i've learned as a doctor to help make a positive impact. so that's why i go beyond the numbers.

now the pentagon has income meanted on this but from digging up that we did, i found the contract was actually expected to be awarded in late 2018. it took a little more than a year for the final decision to be made. it wasn't just amazon cast aside but oracle and ibm. they were passed over too. very lucrative contract worth or anticipated to be worth about $10 billion. remember, guys, the cloud is the future for all these companies, for amazon and microsoft it's a very competitive space. doing this, amazon will have to prove that the president's alleged bias had something to do with the decision to not give them the contract. they can't just make a case that looks like amazon is sour grapes because it didn't get what it wanted. guys? deirdre: jackie, thank you very much. jackie deangelis there. for his reaction, live wire.com editor-in-chief, lance ulanoff. thanks for being here. amazon notifying a federal occur

as jackie was telling us to protest this decision. she pointed out plenty other competitors in the cloud space did not get this strategy. is this smart business strategy or does amazon look like a bunch of crybabies? >> look i think it is worth bringing up. president trump spent a lot of time tweet about amazon and "the washington post," making it clear he doesn't like one of them. he also made it clear he wanted to have everyone look into the possibility that amazon might get the jedi contract. that is out there. at the same time we're talking about microsoft here. we're not talking about a random competitor. microsoft is very powerful in the space. yes, it is not where amazon is in the cloud space but it has a tremendous cloud business. deirdre: and growing. >> every quarter it is growing. there is little bit of flattening out. obviously they wanted to grow back on this it is an interesting space. oracle got boxed out.

ibm got boxed out. google took itself out and working with the government and employees. microsoft went out of its way we hear you, employees about potential concerns here but we think it is important to play the space no one is at future at the table that understands the future a.i. amazon will play this out a little while. i don't think they can spend too much time on it because they have bigger fish to fry. deirdre: certainly do. switches gears, apple may bundle all services into one megabundle, apple, plus, apple tv, and news goes into one significant bundle. is that apple is finally going like every other company. >> i been saying for years, apple, when will you bundle stuff? how many different things can i pay for? ample tv plus, apple arcade,

icloud, i'm paying for all these different things, all the differ bills, amazon model, prime $119 a year. service business is super important to apple. they want to continue to grow, have it healthy and fat, having all the different revenue streams coming in, but the frustration is there. also at this moment, we just saw, tv plus launches. one report around 200,000. i don't know if that is quite right. you know, they didn't about out there to say how many sign-ups they got. disney said we went out and got 10 million people. this is a moment where apple says look we'll make this more attractive for everyone, if you're a appliercustomer, in there, all in with us, you will get a bigger deal. we won't hear a word until next spring which is on cycle for the next big services event. deirdre: to your point, consumers may win if they bundle like hulu tv.

sexual abuse by epstein. fox news's bryan llenas with us with the latest. brian, what is it? reporter: good afternoon. lawyers representing jeffrey epstein's estate worth more than $577 million know it will be a target of dozens of lawsuits from epstein's alleged sexual abuse victims who are seeking financial compensation for their suffering. rather than being bogged down in years of litigation, the es he state executors are asking the court in virgin islands to establish a victim's compensation fund dedicated to pay epstein's accusers, settling claims out of court. that is the caveat. these claims must be settled out of court, in a confidential way. the proposed compensation program would accept claims via website, 90 days after the court gives its approval. the executors promise to design the compensation fund with the

help of epstein's accusers and their attorneys. the fund would not be operated by the estate but rather three independent claims administration experts including kenneth feinberg who developed the september 11th victim compensation fund, who payed out millions to victims who died as a result of 9/11 related illnesses or exposure. he also helped disperse fund for catholic church abusers. jennifer rose, said she will not participate in the fund and pursue litigation instead. attorney lisa bloom who represents five victims, that they all support the fund but they will decide separately whether they participate. >> my opinion it should go into the entirety of victims proportional to the loss they suffered. suicidality, medical bills,

therapy bills, everything victims go through. it is time for that. reporter: deirdre, meantime questions about epstein's death remain unanswered. the director of the federal bureau prisons which operates the manhattan jail where epstein decide will face a grilling from congress in a public hearing on tuesday morning. deirdre: brian, thank you very much here to react is attorney mark agler. thanks for joining us. what do you think of this? is it fair, does it make sense, would you advice the client to participate? >> i would certainly be skeptical because i am a lawyer but i think it seems fair. i like the idea of people administrating it, i like the idea there are funds being set aside that are going to be available. i love it is non-adversarial. understand litigation is brutal. i'm involved with it every day. peopler erroneously think you spill a cup of hot coffee
