gus gako, hudson valley investment visor. that will do it for the "claman countdown." [closing bell rings] the dow, s&p, and nasdaq all-time records. please don't get bored. i need to see you tomorrow. melissa: not tired of winning. not tired of winning. new records on wall street. kicking off the week, green hitting all-time highs for the second straight trading day. the dow looks likes it will close up 28 points. the 12th record close of the year. what do you think of that? i'm melissa francis. connell: i'm connell mcshane. we got that part right. a record-setting day on "after the bell." seems like every day is. s&p 500 is in the green. settle as point higher. any gain is a record. nasdaq to the upside by nine points. we'll talk a lot about this. more on market movers we saw today. first here is what is new at this hour. at the white house president trump is about to meet with mike pompeo. the secretary of state just

announced a dramatic shift in u.s. policy in the middle east. we'll bring all the breaking headlines and reaction from danny danone, israel's permanent representative to the united nations coming up later in the hour. plus it hasn't been out for a full week but your disney plus account may already be compromised. then there is ford. betting on electric. the risky move the automaker is making with its new mustang. melissa: we have fox business team coverage. blake burman at the white house. kristina partsinevelos, on the floor of the new york stock exchange. phil flynn is watching oil at the cme. edward lawrence with the latest on trade talks from d.c. we start with kristina. >> starting with me instead of edward lawrence. what we'll talk about is the hp deal. a lot of people were talking about rumors that xerox wanted to buy hp. unanimously hp board decided to reject xerox's bid. in? they think it is way too low at

$22 a share. it undervalues hp. you're thinking similarities between the two portfolios. the end of that relationship. it could not be. according to hp in the statement, they said we're open to exploring whether there is value to be created for hp shareholders. there is few analysts like credit suisse putting out there, maybe a combination for the company as they continue to restructure, to overcome the loss of revenue. switching gears completely. i want to focus on kylie jenner. why? she makes a lot of money. she has a cosmetics firm that brought in $177 million in revenue this year. thee is selling a huge stake, 51% to coty, the new york based cosmetic firm that owns cover girl as well. they say they are keeping kylie jenner on board as creative agent, creative leader, you don't want to get rid of

somebody with 150 million instagram followers. kiley cosmetics going to coty, 51%. melissa: kristina, thank you. connell: working towards a breakthrough. chinese officials confirm trade teams in beijing and washington held what is described as constructive talks over the weekend. let's go to aforementioned edward lawrence with all of that. edward? reporter: the two sides are trying to get the language right between the chinese and u.s. the chinese indicate the talks are ongoing. in a statement about the phone call the chinese commerce ministry said this, quote, the two sides have engaged in constructive discussions around the respective core concerns of the first phase of an agreement that will continue, and they will continue to maintain close communication. if you follow the timeline laid out by president donald trump the deal would have been signed this past weekend. now as it stands, they're still talking about getting that phase one language right but the goodwill continues.

the chinese recently made large soybean purchases. also lifting the ban on poultry. u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer says that industry alone could represent one billion dollars in trade for u.s. farmers. today, we were the first to tell you the commerce department announced a 90-day extension for the temporary general licenses to sell to huawei. those temporary general licenses were set to expire tomorrow. now companies can continue to sell to huawei through february 17th of 2020. a spokesperson for huawei says, regardless, the u.s. is treating the company unfairly for still being on the entity list. the statement goes on to say this, quote, this has done significant economic harm to american companies which huawei does business and already disrupted collaboration and undermines the mutual trust on which the global supply chain depends. still this could be seen as goodwill from the u.s. because huawei continues to get the technology it needs from

american companies to keep going. connell? connell: edward lawrence on the trade beat in washington. melissa: the world's most valuable company apparently saudi arabia putting a $1.7 trillion price tag on its state oil company. let's go to phil flynn at the cme. and, phil, it does fall short of the crown prince's hopes after two trillion dollar valuation for saudi aramco, but hey, what can you do? >> a trillion here, a trillion there, right? i tell you this, the market didn't like that fact. in fact what the market didn't really like was the lack of foreign investment interest in this ipo and that is one of the reasons why saudi arabia pulled back on that a little bit today. they canceled one of the tourses where they would try to raise interest on the ipo. they're giving up short term on oil investment. the oil market didn't like that today. oil prices seemed to pull back on reports they canceled that in part because they believed that maybe saudi arabia might have

less incentive to juice up the price of oil. that was one of the speculations that caused a little bit of the selloff in the oil price today. that remains to be seen but we have a big opec meeting coming up in early december. the other thing i thought was interesting on the whole ipo situation, even as the valuation you still get a better yield with exxonmobil or some of these other big oil companies here in the united states. melissa: that's really interesting, phil, you know i also wonder why is it at this moment that saudi aramco wanted to do the ipo and cash out? they're sitting on all this oil. not that they need the liquidity. go ahead. >> no. i absolutely agree with you, they really do need the liquidity. when we saw crash in oil prices they used a lot of saudi aramco's money to power the government. when prices really crashed last year they were leaning the wrong way. this is desperation. there is some thought saudi arabia really want to get away from oil in their economy.

the prince has a vision 2030 plan which supposed to get them off of oil. might be admission by saudi arabia concern about peak demand. maybe demand for oil won't be what it is a few years from now. melissa: it has to be that. the only thing that makes sense. >> sure does. thank you. connell: thousands of protesters in hong kong flocking into the poll at the polytechnic university where police forces surrounded the campus. hundreds of protesters are trapped inside and inside for day, trapping the students. 400 have been detained. the number since sunday. this is more violent and chaotic since the protest began in june. dean churning heritage foundation. does this surprise you what happened the last few months,

boy, what do you expect to happen next? >> no, unfortunately it hasn't been, sr. pricing. we're watching both sides take ever harder position. we'll see what happens if the hong kong authorities hold district elections this weekend. there is some real question about that either way it looks like with the police besieging the campus, with people firing arrows at the police, with casualties among protesters with growing violence i think we're in for a very ugly several weeks if not months ahead. connell: looking at chinese state media coverage, a few headlines from the people's daily, said there was no reason for commentary for compromise with protesters on television. on cttv a comment aired, said any attempt to oppose china to cause chaos in hong kong will never succeed. you wonder whether the pressure is now building to end these protests by any means necessary?

that the pressure on the police there to just get this thing over with, what do you think? >> i think on one hand we have xi xinping also bringing up the hong kong issue while he is abroad this is very rare sort of thing. chinese only typically comment on domestic events when they're at home. the chinese are well aware in this connected world especially like hong kong, rolling the way they did in tiananmen, almost exactly 30 years ago at that would devastate u.s. china trade talks, chinese diplomatic effort and upcoming taiwan elections in january. connell: even if it doesn't become a repeat of that tianamen square will hong kong ever be the same? >> we have definitely crossed the rubicon in that regard. hong kong police have used firearms in a way almost certainly sapped their credibility. students, many have become much moderate alizeed and beijing is

looking at this, almost certainly thinking to itself is if it is like this right now, what will it be like in another 20 years when hong kong fully reverts under prc control? deirdre: we're watching on day-to-day basises especially okay weekends. thank you for the analysis dean. melissa: president trump sitting down with federal reserve chairman jerome powell at the white house today. only the second meeting between the two since powell took over as fed chief. blake burman is at the white house. blake, this was face-to-face instead of twitter. reporter: it was. good way to put it. one of those fly on the wall type moments we get every now and then at the white house, melissa. president trump sitting down with jay powell earlier today. also in the room, treasury secretary steve mnuchin. i'm told larry kudlow was a part of that meeting as well. in a statement the fed said that the president invited powell over here to the white house. the two talked about the about economy, employment, growth, inflation. afterwards president trump provided his own readout of the

meeting, took to twitter. said quote, just finished a very good and cordial meeting at white house with jay powell of the federal reserve. everything was discuss, i had concluding interest rates, negative interest, low inflation, easing, dollar strength and the effect on manufacturing, trade with china, eu and others. interesting the president said this was cordial, there is arguably no bigger target for the president than powell. for example, last week at the economic club of new york the president said the fed has suppressed stock market records. >> if we had a federal reserve that worked with us, you could have added 25% to each one of those numbers, i guarranty you that. that doesn't happen. [applause] but we all make mistakes, don't we? not too often. we do make them on occasion. reporter: meantime here in washington, week two of the public hearings of the impeachment inquiry will kick off tomorrow.

eight witnesses tomorrow will testify throughout tuesday, wednesday and thursday. those four on your screen there in two different sessions. tomorrow, the headliner we expect going into this, melissa, gordon sondlands u.s. ambassador to the european union. he will testify on wednesday. melissa. melissa: blake, thank you so much. i'm glad larry kudlow is there. he is able to smooth things over. he is a gentleman. >> yes. melissa: that could have been a little uncomfortable otherwise, maybe that meeting? connell: i think it had the potential being uncomfortable larry or otherwise. outlining a list of demands. we'll continue with house minority leader kevin mccarthy over the network's decision not to air a story on jeffrey epstein years ago. we'll break all that down. the legal fallout on that is coming up later in the hour. melissa: plus an escalating fight. fedex ceo fred smith is calling out "the new york times" about

connell: fedex challenging "the new york times" to a debate. susan li in the newsroom with details on the story. reporter: we do have fedex, and fred smith throwing down the gauntlet, let's debate this in public. who pays more taxes and who reinvests in the u.s. economy after "the new york times" report this weekend, front page stuff alleging that fedex despite the fact they had their tax bill cut from 1 1/2 billion dollars in 2017 down to zero for 2018 they actually cut their capital investment back into the u.s. economy. so effectively they went from 34% tax rate down to zero which fred smith and fedex firing back over the weekend saying well, actually "the new york times" paid zero as well in 2017 and they cut by the way, their reinvestment back into the u.s. economy by 50% in 2018 to just around $57 million or so, which is a rounding error for the $6 billion that fedex actually

has invested into the u.s. economy. now fred smith of course, throwing this gauntlet, throwing the challenge to a.g. sulzberger publisher of "the new york times." let's have the open debate. you bring your business editorial editor and i will bring my head of taxes as well to see who has been investing back into the u.s. economy. guys? connell: like it. i like it. a debate moderated by melissa francis no doubt. melissa: yes. i love it. i will declare who won as well. i want all the power. here is dan hen -- henninger from "wall street journal" and a fox news contributor. there are couple elements of the story i absolutely love. i love fred smith hitting back. "the new york times" writes a story, puts out a statement, puts it on twitter, puts it everywhere, he doesn't attack "the new york times" their report something wrong, hey, kettle, who is calling black

here. doing the same thing as we are. what did you think of that? >> that is wonderful. we know fred smith is no shrinking violet when it comes to this sort of thing. it is great he is standing up for the private sector. here is one of the greatest entrepreneurs arguably in the history of the country. the number of employees employed by fedex worldwide is 425,000 people. i mean fred smith and fedex are supporting nearly half a million people, they have been doing it for years. so you got to ask yourself, which would you prefer? a world of private sector investment of the sort that fred smith represents or what "the times" seems to want, to transfer most of their corporate tax income to the federal government and let them make the choices. that seems to be the debate fred smith wants to have with the "new york times." melissa: not only at that, the premise of fred smith's business about expanding the economy. it is facilitating all these other businesses.

mom-and-pop, everyone else making money by delivering goods from one place to the other. he is not just supporting his own employees which is huge in of itself. he is also, the lifeblood of the larger economy. another thing i think is interesting, whenever they have the debates about companies not paying their fair share of taxes this, that the other thing, they're all doing it legally. they're doing what the government has set up for them to do with their profits through the tax law. i mean if you want to fault somebody for how the system is working, why don't you go to those chuckleheads in congress who are responsible for writing legislation? what do you think? >> well, i mean, congress indeed passed the cut in the corporate tax rate in the first year of donald trump's presidency and arguably, i mean it is the difference between the strong economy we have now, stock market continuing to set records as the president says, increasing people's 401(k)s, versus "the times" candidate

like barack obama, who was president for eight years and never to the growth above 2%. we had high unemployment across that period. i think the corporate tax, the cut in the corporate tax rate had a lot to do with that, along the with deregulation allowed industries like fedex and trucking and distribution to flurish. "times" opposes that thing. no surprise they would put it on the front page. i love the idea of fred smith debating the business editor of "the new york times." melissa: that is absolutely true. you're right. talking about the corporate tax rate. i'm talking about when people attack the loopholes and they say, whether it is deductions or whether they go after, whether amazon saying, with the depreciation rules, you paid this tax but you got this back, this back and forth, we do have a very complicated tax code. companies use that to their advantage as they should. that is what the tax law is about. if you don't like various

loopholes and deductions you should change the tax law. it is not their fault they're doing what the tax code, how it has been set up. they're taking advantage of it. >> put the tax rate back up where elizabeth warren wants it, you inevitably have the return of those loopholes. melissa: dan, thank you, appreciate your time. connell: not so magical start for es disney plus. a new report revealing thousands of users are already at rick. we'll explain what you need to know to protect your account. melissa: oh, boy. connell: colin kaepernick's strange workout. new details emerging on former quarterback's efforts to maybe try to get back into the game. no commission. no matter what you trade, at fidelity you'll pay no commission for online u.s. equity trades. more exciting than than getting a lexus... giving one. this is unbelievable! >>it really is. the lexus december to rembember sales event

connell: what can go wrong with unwavering enthusiasm? thousands of disney plus accounts have been hacked just days after the service officially went live. and now, we're told they're up for sale on the dark web. there is a report out from an outfit called zd net.

curt knudson the cyber guy joins us. number one, what does this tell but disney? is there particular haver inability has been exposed or does it say hackers are motivated, it's a new service can happen to anybody? >> or something else. connell, hi. perhaps users too simplified a password and repeating passwords that are familiar to them that they use in other services that could be the culprit here. along with a factor, the fact, disney does not allow dual factor, two factor authentication, meaning a second way to sign on. they don't want to do that, studies have come out about streaming services and one of the things that hinder people to adapt to them the fact they have to authenticate it constantly. connell: right. >> they don't want that in the way of a user i can confirm, i looked at various places in the web, i will not tell you where they are, there are indeed thousands upon thousands of

accounts for sail that give people access to stolen disney accounts. connell: they sell them five bucks. >> some are even free. some are even free. connell: they are. >> i don't know. there are people that do things for jollies, that could be one of them. the fact of the matter is, here is what you want to do. you want to use a much tougher password. don't repeat the password for disney. for those people with little ones in the family likely going to the theme park, if you used any of the electronic means to say buy your ticket or shop at disney at the theme parks there is a possibility those accounts could be linked and crossed over, meaning somebody could hack into your tv account. well they could buy tickets. connell: people get annoyed, as you know, by trying to think of multiple passwords. they use some version of the same one many times. easy to remember. do you recommend a way around that. take the suggested one and save it? >> i never use a suggested one. but i use a password manager.

there are really good ones out there. you shouldn't have to pay for it. last pass is one of the leaders that should make it a lot easier. however it will be you are using the app on the tv with that password app. i would look to also add the name of the service, whatever the password nice my password. so that way it makes eight little more complicated for a hacker to guess but, i'm not going to forget it as easily. connell: okay. interesting. good advice all around. while you're here, we're speaking about the streaming wars. this is a different type of story. they're getting a bit of a holiday twist. two cable channels in general over the years, hallmark and lifetime, just dominated holiday movies. hallmark and lifetime and now with all these services out there, we talked about disney plus, of course netflix, even apple which paid for a lot of money for one of the holiday classics to make it into a musical. there is lot of competition. disney in of itself has a lot of

old classics, "miracle on 34th street," interesting to see how it plays out. >> the deal for hallmark, lifetime, hallmark spends 30% of production revenue on christmas related programing alone every year. they have 40 record number, 40 movies related to holidays. already started prehalloween. lifetime coming to a close match. they have never gone up with numbers online, apple, disney, with 20 christmas themed movies. like classics you're talking about, others online that will give them a wallop on this one. what it does signal is for us, as consumers, we're going to win on this one. connell: yep. >> also, i think it is a testament to the fact that people are trending towards feel-good content in the media at at moment. i can't imagine why. connell: i wonder why. melissa: exactly. connell: netflix didn't used to do it as much.

they have six of their own that are brand new. kurt, thanks as always. >> good to see you guys. melissa: looking for explanation. questions why a abc news story that didn't run that had jeffrey epstein in it. why this time we might get answers. that's next. connell: secretary of state mike pompeo announced a major reversal on u.s. policy in the middle east. the israeli ambassador to the u.n., danny danone, will join us. he will explain what it means for the only democracy in the region. melissa: more planned power outages may be on the way in california. strong winds, the threat of fire, leading pg&e to warn, 250,000 customers could lose power this week. can't believe this is happening again. pg&e shares hitting a record low less than three weeks ago. every american wants their dollars to work as hard as they do. however, since 2000, the buying power of the dollar

law. here to react is ambassador danny danone, israel's ambassador to the u.n. thank you so much for joining us. i'm wondering why this statement is important given the fact that america moved the embassy, as soon around the world to be an ally of israel and the president has made so many moves to support israel, why is it important to make a statement like this reversing what john kerry said on his way out? >> good afternoon, melissa. indeed it's a very important decision and we are grateful for that. another reality check for the palestinians. basically the u.s. administration telling the palestinians, enough. let's talk business. talk about peace. we are ready for that. we are ready to negotiate directly with the palestinians. they cannot go back for 70 years and blame israel for everything. that is what happened with the move of the embassy. now what is happening today. they are coming to the u.n. almost every day blaming israel

for everything, complaining that the building in judea somera illegal under international law which is not the case. what secretary pompeo did today was the right thing, setting the record straight, telling the palestinians come back to the negotiating room, speak with the israelis. >> this is criticism from from the council of foreign relations about this specifically. i'm hearing to hear this respond. she said some of the settlements don't get us any closer to peace. they actually get us further from that place. you say that you want to find peace between these two populations. how do you respond to her criticism there? is that possibly true? >> first we proved we are capable of signing peace treaties. we did it with egypt more than 40 years ago. we did it with jordan 25 years ago. we have strong peace with these two important nations. we can do that with the palestinians. they need to come, recognize israel, negotiate with israel. the settlements are not the

problem. they are not obstacles to peace. i think on the contrary at the end of the day we will have to live together, israelis and palestinians. i think, the palestinians have to realize that, that they will have recognize israel and to live with us in the same area. melissa: would you then in turn recognize them? >> indeed, when we have negotiations we make compromises. we proved it with egypt and jordan. they have to sit with us, negotiate with us. not come to the u.n. and pass empty resolutions. that is what they did when secretary kerry passed a resolution in the security council condemning israel's building in judea and samaria. our presence in the holy site of jerusalem. it was not helpful. it was not directed to reality. it is sending a message to the palestinians, come back to israel and the negotiating room. melissa: this is kind of the on the fly, i've been watching a lot of videos on twitter and

elsewhere showing uprisings in iran. more of the people are trying to push back against the government as iranian government has not used the money that came in as a result of you know the deal that happened in the past to help their people and stand by their people. instead they sponsored terror. you are, israel is a great source of information what's going on inside of iran. do you think these uprisings, you know, some pictures we're seeing is it real, is it big. will it make a difference? what is happening? >> it is very important. let's look at numbers. $7 billion a year the amount of dollars the iranians are investing in terrorism in the entire middle east. we see it everywhere of the israel, lebanon, the gaza strip. iranians are saying enough with that. we're seeing what is happening to the economy because of the sanctions. we speak directly to the iranians. we know they're suffering. we have nothing against them. we want the regime to change. we hope they speak up, put

pressure and hopefully we'll see a change in the regime. melissa: yeah, have those people finally have freedom. ambassador, thank you for your time. >> thank you very much, melissa. connell: demanding answers. in a letter sent to abc news, house republicans calling for an explanation over the network's decision not to run a story on jeffrey epstein. this as prince andrew is facing intense backlash following a rare interview he gave over his ties to the convicted sex offender. bryan llenas with the latest on all of this. reporter: prince andrew denied meeting the virginia dupree, who was forced to have sex with the duke of york when she was 17 in epstein's home. he said he did not remember taking this photo with his hand around virginia's waist and it could be fake. she also met him at a club where

he was dancing and profusely sweating. >> there is problem with the sweating because, i, have a peculiar condition, which is i don't sweat or i didn't sweat at time. reporter: in the end the prince also said he did not regret his friendship with jeffrey epstein. >> now, i still not for the reason being is that the people that i met, and opportunities that i was given to learn, either by him or because of him were actually very useful. reporter: critics have slammed the prince for this interview. lawyers for epstein's accusers called the interview appalling for the its lack of empathy. house minority leader republican kevin mccarthy wrote a letter to abc news president james gholston to hand over all

information about amy robach's interview with virginia dupre three years ago. this has consequences. fewer victims willing to come forward victims of perpetrators of this modern day slaver very to justice and a minors that could have been spared over human trafficking over the past three years. abc news said robach's reporting did not meet standards to air. connell: bryan llenas in the newsroom for us. melissa: interesting to follow that what do elizabeth warren, taylor swift and popeye's chicken have in common. connell: that's easy. melissa: really? >> i can't tell you now. melissa: now the democratic 2020 hopeful is trying to capitalize on a pop culture debate for political ambitions. former nfl quarterback colin kaepernick's workout video is not working out. what does the controversial star

in this but worth noting data from the private advocacy group for the industry, they support 26 million jobs. nine million americans work for companies backed or owned by private equity firms. those companies pay $174 billion in taxes. we should say it does look like taylor swift will be able to perform her old songs at the amas after all. we got word of that. melissa, the bad blood put aside at least for now. melissa: yeah, exactly. connell: all right. melissa: also that is a hit at deval patrick working in private equity. they want to make sure they get ahead of him too. grady, thank you. connell: a controversial workout. we wouldn't expect anything else from former nfl quarterback colin kaepernick. sending footage of workout to

all 32 teams even ones that weren't there. jared max, headlines 24/7 to talk about it. talk about the controversy, the workout, change of venue in a moment but bottom line here now, nfl teams have a business decision to make. colin kaepernick's controversial, we know about the kneeling for the national anthem, he hasn't played in a few years. will one team take a chance. do you think anybody will? >> i would love a team to sign him to put an end to all of this. new england patriots seem to handle circuses to keep it type, i don't think colin kaepernick will work in the nfl again. he did everything in his power to embarass the league. to alienate a lot of consumers, to alienate a lot of people in the league itself. colin kaepernick as transparent i believe the nfl dog-and-pony show with this work out, kaepernick is equally transparent. people who supported him for so long are turning against him.

connell: one of those people, stephen @ smith from espn. we'll talk about it here is stephen a. smith. >> don't want to play. he wants to be a martyr. guess what? it ain't working this time. you don't want to work. you just want to make noise. you want to control the narrative. it's over. colin kaepernick aspiration in the nfl, for an nfl career. it's over. connell: wow. i'm sure you saw kaepernick after his workout. which by the way according to some pros who watched it, scouting people said it looked pretty good. a lot of people said. kaepernick said i've been ready, i'm ready, i'm ready. i don't buy it. >> he said we'll go anywhere. we're already. we want to play. really any don't believe you colin kaepernick, you know why? you asked alliance for american football for 10 million-dollar salary.

connell: that all we care about behind closed doors. >> in new jersey there is opportunity to push a point spread different. if you think one team will destroy another you can change the point spread on a game. like the jets you bring up, the jets were underdogs against the redskins. i made the jets favorites 13 1/2 points. had they not given up meaningless touch down in the final seconds i would be buying steak. con i call you connell. connell: share the picks next week with melissa and me. >> spinach. melissa: i love it. that is impressive. >> chiefs tonight. melissa: former new york city mayor michael bloomberg apologizing for the city's "stop-and-frisk" policy but bill de blasio isn't buying it. bring in david asman. who better to talk about it. >> i give de blasio 0 for 0. wouldn't you? what is he doing? i'm not the biggest fan in the world of michael bloomberg but

on the other hand when he was mayor of this city crime rates went down dramatically. in 1990 we had 2200 murders every year in new york. now it is less than 300. a lot of what bloomberg did is responsible for lowering the numbers dramatically. stop-and-frisk was part of it. might not have been the best part. might have been better ways to do it. there were other ways, like broken windows. tough applaud that. most of those murders, 2200 murders in 1990 were minorities, were blacks an hispanics. those are thousands of blacks and hispanics lives were saved as a result of some of these policies. melissa: what will come up with bulls and bears? >> we'll talk about someone with "blue lives matter." andy mccarthy, talking about the president willing to testify
