back at some of the week's big moments in this weekend's edition of "the week's talkers." ♪ ♪ maria: the russian intelligence watching others comes up with a report and says hillary clinton approved the plan to tie trump to russia. >> the democrats accused us of what they're doing. turns out it was the clinton campaign working with the russians to create this fake hoax. maria: what's your reaction to these declassified notes that show it was actually hillary clinton's plan to tie trump to russia? >> so it was the dnc buying russian dirt to embarrass president trump and divert away from her e-mail arrangement. that wound up being exactly what happened. maria: how much of this may or may not resonate for the american people with 26 days left til election day? >> first, does it resonate -- if it first doesn't resonate, we're going to have a hard time

surviving as a country. maria: you heard hillary clinton, she says joe biden should contest this election, whatever it takes. >> they cannot win on game day. they've got to i try to steal it starting the evening of november 3rd. president trump's gog got to have a a massive victory. maria: we've beening talking all morning about declassifying documents. >> hoping that maybe in trump's final days or the edge of his presidency or maybe the final days of this run, i don't know who's going to win the presidency, obviously, and then we should see a recovery also. [inaudible] maria: meanwhile, ooh another volatile week for stocks. investors responding to concerns over the president's health, the showdown on capitol hill. joining me to break it all down and look ahead is alpha one capital partners dan niles. dan, it's great to have you, thank you so much for being here. you say we are at an important juncture for the stock market right now.

walk us through that. >> yeah, i mean, you obviously had a big move down in the markets, a big ramp back up in the markets driven by stimulus, and now you're sort of at this critical juncture, as you put it, where you've got three big i events between now and year end. the first one is, obviously, additional stimulus. we're going to probably get some before the elections and then, obviously, after the elections we should even get more. and right now you have about 30 of gdp in the united states spent on stimulus already between what the fed's done in terms of expanding the balance sheet by $3 trillion and the four phases of stimulus we've already gotten. that'll, obviously, be a positive for the market. the second big thing is the ramp in the coronavirus. as the weather gets colder, obviously, flu season starts to kick up, and you should start to see infections go up. but the positive is that we should, hopefully, get a vaccine between now and year end, so it's going to really be the

interplay between segments of the world potentially shutting down, but then what a vaccine can do to help us through that. and then, obviously, the final thing is what happens with the election because depending on who wins, different segments of the market will benefit or not. obviously, if you end up with a change in administration, there'll be more focus on things like clean power with the $2 trillion climate plan. if the current administration stays in place, that'll be much better, protects stocks which you'll have a lot less pressure and also in terms of taxes which will be lower which will be helpful for the overall market. those are sort of the three big things we're trying to manage around between now and the eventful three months before year end. maria: dan, we've heard the biden/harris campaign about raising taxes. joe biden wants to raise taxes by $4 trillion, and as part of that he wants to take the capital gains tax way up there to the 40% range. would you expect the selloff in

the market if joe biden wins? because i imagine people will want to sell their winners before the year is up so that they don't get hit with that 40% capital gains tax next year. >> yeah, i mean, i think, you know, obviously lower taxes are good for the market. we saw the market react to lower taxes. obviously, raising taxes by itself, that's going to be bad for the market. and then, as you pointed out, in terms of the capital gains rate is going to move up that dramatically, which that seems to be the plan if they can get that through, then, yes, you would anticipate a fair bit of people taking their profits this year when the tax rate's going to be a lot less. so on the margin, i think you could end up with a change in administration, yes, that will be negative for the market as a whole relative to if you have a more business-friendly environment which is currently what we have today. maria: you've been doing incredibly well, up in the first

quarter even while the s&p 500 is down. continuing up every month, on track for one of its best years in your entire 16-year history. go through some of the names that you believe will do well regardless, or you could compartmentalize it and tell me what you think is going to do well under trump versus under biden. what do you like? how are you allocating capital, dan? >> yeah. i mean, i've really got it split up into three buckets. so i've got the names before, during and after the pandemic. so gaming is probably the area i like the best, because you have a catalyst between now and year end which is you have sony and microsoft launching the first new consoles, game consoles, in seven years. so gnashed be really good for the -- that should be really good for the market. you've seen microsoft spend $75 billion to take out bethesda soft works. you should see that really starting to do well going forward, and you saw, obviously,

business accelerate a lot as people were stuck at home during the pandemic. now, tied in to the pandemic, obviously, people are working and learning from home, so you'll see 5g infrastructure, spending around all that do well. we like names like erickson with regards to that, providing the infrastructure, qualcomm providing the chips going into that and lumentum providing augmented reality chips for those high-end phones. and if you look at, you know, other things, obviously, social media's keeping us connected, you like facebook for that. they're getting into e-commerce, obviously, amazon is seeing, you know, two to three years' worth of future demand pulled forward because of this and, you know, they're going to continue to benefit going forward from that. and then you've got other areas like online sports betting which, you know, should see really great acceleration next

year. and so name it is like caesars, we own for that. but then there's opportunistic stuff that we like a lot, automotive being at the top of that list where unit auto sales were down 48% year-over-year in april, only down 5 in september. so names like nxpi, which we own, they preannounced positively today, on friday. and then, you know, other names in that space i think will benefit. but green power is one with climate change, i think, going to see more investment in that space. so we like that. so names like bloom energy or ballard. and then finally, construction where, regardless of who wins the election, you're going to see much more money spent on roads and infrastructure, etc., and we like a name like summit materials -- maria: yeah. >> or a play off of that. maria: dan, it's great to get your insight. thanks very much. >> my pleasure as always, maria. maria: we'll see you soon.

president? we can have all of these documents, we can see exactly what happens, but unless john durham comes out with a report or indictments, unless bill barr comes out with some kind of a ruling here, do you think this is resonating on the american people? >> unless bill barr indicts these people for crimes, the greatest political crime in the history of our country, then we're going to get little satisfaction unless i win, and we'll just have to go because i won't forget it. but these people should be indicted. this was a greatest political crime in the history of our country, and that includes obama, and it includes biden. these are people that spied on my campaign, and we have everything. now they say they have much more, okay? and i say, bill, we have plenty, you don't need any more. we've got so much, maria. just take a look at the comey report. 78 pages of kill done by horowitz. and i have a lot of respect for horowitz, and he said prosecute.

liberal democrats and the radical left, there'll be no fracking. then he gets on a stage in a more normal time with people that are normal, like us, that have to have fracking -- we're energy independent now because of fracking. oh, yes, i'll frack. maria: this was one of your key themes in terms of turning the economy around. you opened up the spigot on energy along with -- >> totally. we're totally energy independent. maria: it's -- and but biden said he's going to reverse your tax cut plan, mr. president. that means raising taxes on everybody. >> substantially. maria: your tax cuts moved the needle. what else do you want to do in terms of tax cuts in a second term? do you want to -- >> we're cutting middle income taxes. maria: uh-huh, or go ahead. >> we're cutting middle income taxes substantially. they know that. we're -- that's what made this thing successful. between that and the regulation cuts. he's going to put all the regulations back on. it's going to take you 20 years to build a highway. i took it down from 19 years to

probably 1 by the time i totally finish it. and, by the way, if it doesn't work, it's going to get reject for environmental or safety reasons. but he's going to put 'em back. it was taking you 20 years to get a road approved. 20 years to get a road. think of it, you start as a young man. by the time you're a middle-aged man, they haven't approved it. you couldn't get anything approved. you couldn't get plants approved, energy approved, you couldn't get anything, it was so crazy. i showed you that list of things that you had to go through to get a permit in this country for a simple factory. maria: yes. >> it was 30 feet high. i've taken it down to a year from it could be 20 years, it could be 15, it could be 12. it was massive. and what that would do, it would stop everything. i think that was, frankly, a bigger thing than even the tax cuts. but he wants to end our tax cuts. two things will happen. we won't have any jobs. all of the companies that are pouring into our country -- of which there are many, especially

car companies from japan and germany and other places -- they're going to go back. if you do that, they're going to go back because our taxes were so onerous. and our regulations were so onerous. and even if they wanted to come, i have many car companies coming into this country. you know, when i was, when i first started, we hadn't had a car company come in in many years. this country was off bounds. now they're taking advantage of it. they make the cars in japan, germany, china, and they'd sell it in our country, we wouldn't charge. we'd have a maximum of $2% tariff, but we wouldn't even charge them that. and i saved the chicken tax on the truck with south korea. they were going to wipe out the chicken tax. if it wasn't for me, that tax would be nothing right now. it's the only thing they make money on because they can't compete. maria: news this week of china blocking out part of the vice presidential debate in china. when we come back, the president pulls no punches on china and the trade war and its role in

♪ ♪ maria: welcome back. in this final part of my interview with president trump, i get his take on if he'll be able to fill the supreme court vacancy and his playbook on bringing the economy back. we started a off, though, with china and china's role in the covid-19 pandemic. take a look. >> the deficit was coming way down with china for the first time in 30 years. way, way down with china. i was taking in billions of dollars. i took in $28 billion. i gave the money to the farmers because the farmers were targeted by china as a way to get me to negotiate. i said, no, instead of that -- and that's why other presidents, a more normal type president like a sleepy joe type, china

ripped them off for years and years. i said to china, listen, you want to play games, so what they do, listen, if you don't give us everything you want, we're not going to buy any corn, and we're not going to buy soybean is the and beef. i said, that's okay, don't buy it. i said, look, we've got to play a game with these people, but i'm going to put tariffs on you. nobody even heard of tariffs, nobody. in fact, when i first started doing it, they didn't even know what it meant. maria: what about the economy, mr. president? how are you going to get back to the boom times that we were in before covid arrived? you had an unemployment rate of 3.5%, the lowest that anybody has seen in some portions of the country. are you going to use the same playbook to get us back? give us -- >> yeah, we are. maria: -- the tools you'll use in a second term. >> yeah, we are. well, i'm going to use tariffs on china. i was going to tell you that we get $28 billion because our farmers, that's what they got targeted for. i gave all of the money to the farmer.

we had tens of billions left over which goes into the treasury. china was getting killed. we were building -- don't forget, you've been a great reporter for a long time. the year 2019 china, if you go back ten years, 2019 china takes us over as the largest economy on earth. well, prior to this plague coming in -- and still, by the way, but prior to the plague coming in, china was doing lousy compared to us. we were upping them. we were getting bigger and bigger compared to them, and we were doing great. we were way ahead of china. china was never going to catch us if we had a smart guy as president. and the tariffs were pouring in, billions of dollars. then i made the trade deal, and it was a really big deal. they broke it, if you remember, at the last minute, with two days left. they said we can't agree to this, you know, the opening up of china and all the things. so i broke off the deal. then they came back, and i made a partial -- there was a deal, a good deal for manufacturers, farmers, you know, etc. it was more of a -- it was

modest, but it was still a massive deal. not as big as usmca, by the way, if you can believe that. maria: uh-huh, right, right. >> but i made a great deal with china. two weeks ago they made the largest order of corn in history, the largest order of soybeans in history because they want to keep me happy because they know that i'm a hair trigger e when it comes to them, and i'm sick of them. everything that we have, we have that covid, the china virus because of them. you look back at other, other infections that we've gotten because of them, this isn't the first time. and, by the way, the n1 -- h1h1n1 that he always calls it n1h1, the swine flu which is h1n1, we tried to tell him, every time i have to correct him on that, but that big deal. if you look at that, he did a horrible job of running it. it was a joke. his own person, ron, said he

didn't know what he was doing. it was a horror show. he couldn't run it. if he ran this, you would have had 2.2 million deaths as opposed to over 200,000. and one is too many, because it was china's fault. remember the original projection, maria, was 2.2 million people will die if it's not handled properly. maria: that's right. [inaudible conversations] maria: in america, yeah. you have so much that you're dealing with, and now you want to get your next supreme court justice confirmed before the election. do you still feel that you can do that and confirmupmy coney barrett -- amy coney barrett in the next 25 days? >> if we don't, it's the republicans' fault because there's no reason why not. look, i'm president, and it's happened 29 times. she made another mistake last night, what she said about lincoln. she was wrong on that. you know, they say things.

they say we're not going to do this, and they're going to do it. i've never seen such liars. they're worse than crooked hillary. she was worse in other ways. she deleted 33,000 e-mails illegal ily, and she should be indicted for that. if people delete e-mails in a regular court case, she deleted 33,000 e-mails, and nothing happens to her. maria: my thanks to president donald j. trump. don't go anywhere, more "wall street" right after this. ♪ when we started carvana, they told us
