this week. we'll see you back here monday morning. thank you for joining us. we'll be watching over the thank you. i outnumbered now >> melissa: fox news alert, we just heard from president trump meeting with again later this hour along with the prime minister of india. this is the white house weighs in on decision to cancel a former meeting with russian president vladimir putin. this is "outnumbered," , and i melissa francis. i feel better than i sound. here it's it is harris faulkner. fox news contributor, katie pavlik. host of "kennedy" on the fox business network, kennedy. enjoining us on the couch today, david avella. he has outnumbered. thanks for joining us. so much to get you today. >> david: much to get into today. i look forward to it. >> melissa: you've got the g20, and all the particle wrinkling. we're glad you're here. let's get to it. as we await the president's second meeting of prime minister

abe, along with india's prime minister, the white house is denying reports from russian media that president trump and russian president putin will have a brief meeting at the g20. yesterday, president trump canceled a meeting with putin over a growing confrontation between russia and ukraine. today the white house said there is "no scheduled pole-aside," and a short time ago, press secretary sarah sanders saying "the russian witch hunt hoax, which is hopefully no nearing an end, is doing very well. unfortunately, it probably does undermine our release trip with russia. however, the reason for our canceled meeting is ukraine. hopefully that will be resolved soon, so that the productive conversations can begin." this morning the president and leaders of canada and mexico signed a new trade deal to replace nafta. the president touting the agreement as a win for american workers. >> the usmca is the largest and

most balanced trade agreement in history. all of our countries will benefit greatly. it is probably the largest trade deal ever made, also. this is an amazing deal for our farmers and also allows them to use cutting-edge biotechnology and eliminate nonscientific barriers. >> melissa: the presidents will also be sitting down with chinese president xi jinping on saturday overgrown trade tensions, questions over whether the u.s. and china can agree on tariffs and technology. let me start there, with that piece. that big meeting coming up with china. with all the distractions going in here in the u.s., i could tell you that's what the markets and investors care about. the president has put forth this model where, in spite of all the criticism, he has made a deal with mexico and with canada. and keyed up to meet with china, now. do you think something gets done? >> david: the most important meaning is happening, the one that has just occurred. the president meeting with

prime minister from japan, and the one he's about to have with the leader of india. it sends a clear message to china. "we are going after your neighbors to the east, we are going after your neighbors to the south. we are going to get deals with them. let's keep in mind, the two things that present she wants, he wants them to remain communist and a save the leader. in order to that, you have to deal to make it. has to be done in a way that everybody comes looking like a winner. that's the deal for the present trade can the steel be put together that allows the president of china to save face, look like he has gotten something for his country, but at the same time giving america what they want? >> melissa: people have criticized the president, kennedy, saying "he loves tariffs, this is hurting america." what he does his applied pressure. we look at the data, chinese activity at its lowest level in 28 months. this is having a big impact on china. it is hurting them.

does it put more pressure on their leaders to come to the table? >> katie: it does. they have short-term strategies, obviously, president xi wants to remain -- he has anointed himself president for life. they have gotten long term acute strategy. that is where the intellectual property stuff comes in. they essentially steal great american ideas, and bolster chinese technology and essentially manufacturing -- that is a long-term goal. that's what we should be shutting down. that's where the president should stand as firmly as possible, so they aren't stealing our great ideas for their long-term gain. in the short term, as far as these tariffs, it is really going to hurt them. you are absolutely right. they are going to have to craft a deal that boosts both economies, and the world economy along with it, so we can have freer trade back and forth between both countries. free-trade means you don't see other people's great ideas. >> harris: absolutely. the president is now, you are

alluding to, and unique positif power after signing the usmca today. democrats have criticized "well, he took pieces of that and put into the agreement from nafta. it's not all that different." then i would ask why they wouldn't automatically send it when they get the congress and not make any kind of changes. that aside, when you get ready to talk with china and you mention the neighbor situation, you can say "you know, look at what i did in north america." "i'm willing to do what i need to do to get the best deal for the united states." >> david: that's exactly right. as you look at many of the summits -- as the media wants to look at camera angles that show a foreign leader not liking president trump, the reality is, more often than not, it exceeds expectations at the summits. you are talking about the mexico and canada deal today. there was another significant deal that happened during this and administration that is not talked about as we talked about russia. that is that we got europe using

more of our natural gas, and less of russia's natural gas. as we look at it from a trade perspective, this has been very successful. getting deals done that help american workers. >> melissa: and he's been very disciplined. that's what we seen from the beginning, no matter how much pressure he gets from home. from people saying -- they target the group that supports him. people yell at him here in the u.s. he loves tariffs, he does know what he's doing. he doesn't know how to negotiate. i said it from the beginning, and they never do this, but on business issues -- it was clear, he's negotiating with pressure. >> katie: he knows how to get all the noise out and focus on what the task at hand is, and a short period of time. he knows the summit is important. everybody is watching. when it comes to china, it's an interesting situation for the chinese president domestically on the ground. because china has been able to grow this middle class in china. exhibit good economically for a huge, huge population of people. they haven't been many complains about the censorship, the

communism, the lack of property, the moving people and from the rural areas to the urban areas. but, if that middle class no longer has economic stability and opportunity, which we are seeing as you pointed out, melissa, then the president of china has a problem on his hands with the middle class saying "what about the censorship? what about these opportunities they promised us as a government that are no longer coming close to my and it's a problem for him domestically if you can't get. >> kennedy: that's economic mobility. it's minted into our. that's essentially very new in places like china and india. and that's white so important. you are absolutely right. it's those economic issues that resonate everywhere, but that is new to them. if he starts to shut that down, you are right. >> katie: he's the strongest president of china since mao, and that's what he's been tightening his grip as the economy hasn't gone south but has certainly slowed when it comes to building,

manufacturing, and always other things that have been affected by these tariffs from the u.s. >> david: and it's tougher for president xi. in america, windmills blow because the wind blows them. in china, they blow because the government tells them to blow. he has to manage an economy where, unless he says that happens, it doesn't happen. everything has to be right for him. in order for that economy to keep going. that's why he has to have a trade deal. >> melissa: speaking or putting pressure on people, the person isn't meeting with -- and we heard this at the beginning -- as vladimir putin. here's what he had to say short time ago about who exactly cancel that meeting. >> we don't like what happened. we are not happy about it. nobody is. hopefully they will be able to settle it, the basis of what took place with respect to the ships and the sailors -- that was the sole reason. >> harris: i think, as a nation, this is a bit of transparency that has actually been good for us to see. i took an elevator ride with a

couple of our colleagues yesterday, candidate from kennr network. they set up a code you think for going back and forth?" and i said "no. this is good for the american sissy , it's not vacillation that's been going on. it literally is a negotiation that happens in clear, plain sight. we get to hear it -- russia through a bit of shade, yesterday. [laughter] they put out a statement and said "we haven't heard officially from the president of the white house," and that gives us useful time for some meeting meetings. >> kennedy: we assume it's a reaction to domestic policy. it has nothing to do with us being big, fat bullies and if threatening to invade ukraine. >> harris: knows who the president -- he says this was his decision. we all remarked "did he say it's his decision?" whose else would it be? >> david: there's the sacred counsel he has.

secretary pompeo come the chief of staff kelly, and bolton. they have all been very strong about the stance against russia. you mentioned a little bit of shade on the domestic side. look at the actual policies. sections of been put in place. they've gotten the european countries doing more trade with us. then taking away from russia. on a policy perspective, we've been tougher on russia in this and administration then we have in previous ministrations. we want so you weren't surprised to see them for a little shade. >> david: for decades, going back to president reagan, to be agitators. to be educators new assistant. what can they do to cause problems and divisions in the u.s.? >> harris: i know your voice is going, but i have to pick your brain on something. if they meet on the sidelines, for instance, you have covered these things. what is done, really? >> melissa: if they meet with russia? boy, that's a tough one.

if he were truly about business, you kind of get down to "what is it that i really need? why can't we meet? where are we?" and the silane meetings could be so much more effective because they are quick, to the point. with russia -- you know, it is really tough to know. because you don't know where -- it isn't just about money. it's about the power between them. >> harris: we will be covering it every second here on fox. >> melissa: a quick note to our viewers, this saturday, from the reagan library, other fox news anchors and correspondence will be monitoring some terrific panels during the american defense for. it will stream live on fox nation, and parts will air on the fox news channel. fox news sunday will be incurred live from the reagan library as well. check your local listings for times on the fox news network. or catch it all here at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. eastern. >> harris: former

>> harris: growing fallout over the latest development in the mueller investigation. president trump's personal attorney, rudy giuliani, is accusing the special counsel of deliberately finding new court filings to coincide with the president's departure yesterday for the g20. shortly before air force one took off for buenos aires, the president's former personal attorney, michael cohen, pleaded guilty to lying to congress about talks during the 2016 campaign to build a trump tower in moscow. that deal never happened. "the washington post" citing the new court filings as evidence, the president has become a central figure in the investigation. meanwhile, yahoo news is reporting that mueller is also looking into ivanka trump and don jr. and their work on this scrap to moscow project. bus speed is reporting the trump organization plans to givein a n penthouse apartment in that said building. trump's attorney, rudy giuliani,

called the report "crazy." the president pushing back on all of this, tweeting this morning "oh, i get it. i'm a very good developer, happily living my life, when i see our country going in the wrong direction. open to put it mildly. i continue to run my business very illegally, and very cool. talked about on the campaign trail. look he liked at a building in russia, put up zero money and zero guarantees, didn't do the project. witch hunt!" the incoming chairman of the house judiciary committee, jerry nadler, says there is still a lot about what mueller has found. >> it's also clear that mueller knows a lot that we don't know. and that cohen's testimony is far more relevant than just his involvement in paying off stormy daniels. brother trump activities

-- >> harris: i think my brain just broke. "there's a lot whaton't know, but we will see what we do know based on stuff that doesn't have evidence that because we haven't seen it." >> david: one thing we know is that michael cohen is why bad lawyer jokes were created. he personifies it. [laughter] that said, mueller can make somebody's day bad, but nothing yet today has suggested it would be the president. everything has been about business deals, everything except with this investigation started on. "did vladimir putin and doubled trump get in a room together and say here is how we are going to make sure hillary clinton doesn't get elected president? "if we get into business deals -- if that's what this new thing is, business deals, let's start with nancy pelosi and every time she votes does her venue get a benefit from that? the two wealthiest u.s. senators in the u.s. senate are richard blumenthal and dianne feinstein.

both of whom got wealthier while they served in congress. if we are going to start investigating people's business deals, let's do everybody in congress. >> melissa: i like that idea. >> harris: i want to hit where some of the president's critics are hitting him now, kennedy, and pick your brain on it. when those critics say "the president isn't telling the truth, because he says he wasn't doing deals with russia and oh he's talking about as if he had talked about it contemporaneously," what do you say? >> kennedy: i think all of those things can be true the same time. >> harris: does that make the president not telling the truth? not telling the truth now? >> kennedy: i don't know, man. i think some of this is fluid for him. his memory sort of changes with time, and that's one of the reasons his lawyers didn't want him sitting down with special counsel. but, in his defense -- and i really believe this -- he thought he wasn't going to win. he needed other stuff to do after november 8th 2016, and was continuing along with the real estate development business and the other aspects of the

family business. i think we were all shocked when he actually won that night. i think him, most of all. the point is, how far back do you go punishing someone? is it when they first think about battling in politics? is that high school, college, law school? is it five years ago? what is the timeline? is it when he became the nominee? when is it more legally problematic for him? notice, michael cohen -- and his guilty plea, he lied to congress about the moscow building development. when he was asked why he lied, he said he was staying consistent with the president's political messaging. he didn't say "because the president told me to." that would be problematic. >> katie: my question here is, what is the implication? even if donald trump or his organization -- not him directly -- had offered vladimir putin to have a penthouse in trump tower. when you do business in russia, if you are going to do business, you have to go through vladimir putin. there was no other way in that country to do business.

is the implication that if they gave putin this penthouse that he is somehow in support of donald trump for the presidency? if that is true, why did bill clinton take $500,000 from a russian bank and he was directly saying, personally, by vladimir putin quizzed mark when his wife was running for president? the same implication is that it benefited hillary clinton as it does trump. i'm not sure what the point is here when it comes to someone who has a global enterprise, who's doing business in a foreign country with a leader who controls all the business deals, including the people in his own country, of what exactly the end game is and what it has to do with russian collusion. the entire special counsel was most be based upon that. >> melissa: when i read the report about them promising to give away that penthouse, i laughed out loud in my office. because anyone who covers president trump in business knows that the trump organization is actually cheap as hell. sorry. [laughter] they would not have given away anything that they did not

absolutely have to. to me, that sounds like "guess what? is the price of doing business." that was floated. whether or not they would have done it, to me, you have to have them -- or any other new york real estate developer, none of them give away anything. >> harris: i want to go back to the president's critics on that. i think that's one of the reasons this has bubbled up. now we have an idea of whether or not he is part of the mueller investigation at the center. that's being said because we knew a couple of the questions. what do you think? >> david: it's trying to expand the nets beyond what this investigation started at. which is, did the trump campaign included the russians and defeat hillary clinton? now we are talking about potential business deals, before he became president of the eyed states. and you will hear critics say "oh, he's giving food and special treatment now. is that sanctioned? bombing syria? doing deals with europe to take

economic activity away from russia? if that's vladimir putin's friend, who is his enemy? >> harris: there is a theme i picked up on. it is that reach back. it happened with paul manafort, and with michael flynn. he reached back, you see what people were doing before the campaign. >> kennedy: can i make one point? alan dershowitz pointed out that the police and the charges and the indictments that have all come from the mueller investigation have all happened after robert mueller became involved. these aren't things -- these aren't necessarily indictments because of activities that took place during the campaign. they are procedural indictments, and that -- again, i think the president could be, as there she pointed out, in political deep yogurt. there is a lot to be learned. >> harris: the political -- we are looking at 2020 already. that's all that matters. we will move on. we were waiting, of course, hearing, as attorneys for the

former fbi director james comey are seeking to dismiss a house subpoena. to have him talk behind closed doors. lawmakers want answers on the doj's actions in the run-up to the 2016 election. comey doesn't like the format. but house republicans say it's way past time for them to hear from him. stay with us. >> we need to know what jim comey was doing, with regard to the initiation of a so-called "trump-russia collusion investigation." ♪ have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan for up to 100% of your home's value. if you need cash for your family, call newday usa. with automatic authority from the va, we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. call now: 1-855-376-1361.

court, "mr. comey should not be coerced into participating in a partisan effort to undermine the legitimacy of an institution that he served for the better part of four years. there is no legitimate reason why mr. comey cannot provide live public testimony about the matter under investigation." house judiciary committee chair bob goodlatte responding to comey. >> we have already indicated that we hate it will the transcript of this under oath private interview the next day. 16 other people have testified under oath in the same setting that we are asking him to do it. his claim that he needs to do it in public is, in my opinion, a farce. quite frankly, 5 minutes is not enough time for an experienced former prosecutor like trey gowdy or john ratcliffe to follow all of the threads that need to be followed. >> melissa: comey says he's

concerned about leaks. he's been accused of licking himself, and let's not forget. especially when he gave memos of conversations he had with the president. republicans have also subpoenaed former obama attorney general loretta lynch to appear on tuesday. katie, i mean -- in fairness, james comey doesn't like to do anything if there isn't a camera present. it's not worth speaking if you don't have an audience. >> katie: this actually is reading to me. james comey was the head of the fbi. do you any regular civilian who gets a subpoena from the congress has an ability for two seconds to negotiate the terms of where they appear and when? and what questions are asked? this is a totally privileged out of touch, entitled, government bureaucrat who 60s not only above the law, but above the same standard of the law that everybody else in america has to comply with.

he's not only trying to dictate the terms -- after we know but what he is, it's absurd and ridiculous and it's an affront for everybody else who follows the rule of law to the letter every day or they face consequences like going to prison or jail. >> harris: to speak to how important it is that they hear from james comey, there is, in fact, a negotiation going on. the rest of us would not get that. we know that because it is now being reported that perhaps there would be a release of the transcript the very next day after. you can sit down, you can say what you have to say behind closed doors. then, why not just put it out there to begin with? unless you think you can get something without leaking classified information. that's what i think is the bigger concern. would that get out? not so much whatever he's concerned about, in terms of fairness. >> david: as worthy as this investigation may be, the evidence is that comey has

already lied to congress. so, what makes us think this investigation or this hearing would be any different? it probably wouldn't be. the reality is, in the next few weeks, goodlatte is going to go from being the chairman to not being the chairman. and the democrat is going to come in and we will never hear about this again. >> katie: one point about that, quickly. if republicans believe truly that he has lied under oath and they have evidence, they have the ability and the power to refer him for criminal prosecution. they have a time. not to do that, and we will see if they actually do based on what they claim is comey lying under oath. >> melissa: kennedy, back to that point, how recent it down mike is it for him to talk about leaking? where bret baier kept saying "but he went and took this material, and you gave it to your friends." to then be shared with the media. that is a leak. and he was like "that's not a leak in my book." >> kennedy: of course not, because it directly benefits hi him. which just points to his malignant narcissism. he only wants to testify in public because he wants to

increase his brand, and his appeal to a general audience so he can get higher speaking fees. that's offensive. you are looking at someone -- he leaked that stuff in order to launch the special counsel. he also has his deputy director, who was fired for leaking. you have two people working under him who were overseeing the hillary clinton investigation and then shepherded the russia investigation. they were anti-trump and they had text messages going back and forth. and they were working for special counsel. there are some in a conflict of interest that still have yet to be resolved. i'm not really that interested in james comey's brand. i want the truth, and i feel we are never going to get it. it just goes to show how partisan he is if he only wants to give that proved to one side. >> harris: all right, well, with just about a month before power shifts in congress, house democrats have begun setting their sights on michael cohen.

lawmakers say they want president trump's former longtime attorney back on capitol hill for a new round of questioning, after he admitted lying to the senate intel committee. politico said that he would be returning to capitol hill and it would be a spectacle to rival the watergate hearing. one democrat on the house judiciary committee, jamie raskin, said "obviously you have to be a little bit ginger with anybody who has been lying for a long time, but he is clearly going to be a truth-telling refugee in the trump world." i would expect he has something to contribute to this congressional investigation. the lawlessness of the trump administration. meanwhile, while congressman jim jordan has been tapped to become the top republican on the house oversight committee when democrats take control in january. congressman jordan is expected to be a fierce defender of the president. i see you having nonverbal sorts of reactions to this, and i want to know what you are thinking. >> david: my first thought is, michael cohen has exceeded his 15 minutes of fame.

that said, head-shaking, now democrat see michael coyne as being the great truth teller. and she referenced it in their quote. here's a guy that has already lied to us in congress, but now he's going to tell us the truth? and it all goes to -- >> harris: not just congress, right to the senate intelligence committee. yeah. >> david: they are going to bed whatever facts they get to what makes it look like donald trump did something wrong. no matter what it is. >> harris: so, kennedy, you kind of forecast this out -- this is somebody who the president trusted. this was his personal attorney. there was a lot of talk about whether or not there was attorney-client privilege, in the very beginning of this. regardless of all of that, you've got somebody who potentially could tell you things that his clients never thought would ever be repeated. that is completely fair, because that's what happens when you hire somebody.

>> kennedy: is anything protected by attorney-client privilege anymore? it's very curious. i do understand how people can take someone who has clearly lied and just assume that now they are the flavor of the week, therefore, this version of their event is to be believed. this is somebody who has been gaming the system, and he is a gross person. i hate to say, but the president has attracted some doozies over the course of -- >> harris: i don't think even he would argue with that at this point. [laughter] >> kennedy: roger stone, michael cohen, it's like "come on, man. it's time for you to drain your own swab and move forward without some of these hangers-on." these slimy, vaseline-covered salamanders do more harm than good. >> melissa: in the past 24 hours i have heard all the overly-cute people who hate the president say "well, why would somebody lie about lying? that doesn't make any sense." [laughter] in the history of your career, you've never heard anyone lie

about line? line? >> kennedy: i will tell you why. to diminish his time in jail. let's look at this through a 9-biased lens. you would lie in the first place. hoping for a benefit from the president, or to obscure something you did illegally. you would lie in the second place, because now you realize the president is not going to give you a deal. and you are trying to cozy up to mueller. i don't know where the truth lies. the president may very well have done something wrong. michael cohen almost certainly did something wrong. but when you say "why would somebody lie about line?" to lessen their time in jail. >> harris: he is facing prison time, so he did something wrong. as you are talking, i'm thinking -- democrats are going to take over the house. they are going to have a position they haven't had in a few years. is this really why you want to go? i know, the talking point of "walk and chew gum at the same time." but any time i interview a democrat, there's another

investigation they are going to tag along. maybe that is the gum chewing. where is the walking? >> david: it's what they can bandage on. investigations and impeachment. >> harris: and americans want to see that? >> david: we will find out. >> katie: they want you accountability to root out government corruption. they also get sick and tired, whether it's republicans or democrats doing it, of investigation after investigation and hearings that never come up with any accountability for anybody, and just turn into political shows for these lawmakers on capitol hill going to make a name for themselves for whatever political reason. >> harris: does anybody think if they go behind closed doors into released transcripts, and to keep this silent, that they would be more or less grandstanding? i would say probably less. when he put it all on display the way james comey wants it, it's going to be a show. >> kennedy: that's a great question. which is worse? not knowing, or seeing a clown show? >> melissa: i think the essential difference behind the closed doors isn't necessarily about the leaks or transparency. what it is is that 5 minutes

versus a longer period of time. you can wait out and not answer questions in 5 minutes. it's much harder in the course of an hour to really sit there and invade answers. >> harris: i understand we want to go back to the g20 and buenos aires, argentina. president trump is speaking right now, let's watch together. >> president trump: the relationship between us is extremely good, extremely strong. i think with india, it may be stronger than ever. with japan, i think stronger than ever. we are doing very well together. we are doing a lot of good together, a lot of trade and defense. a lot of military purchases. we are going to now have a discussion between the three of us. so, thank you very much. translator >> translator:

as they toggle back and forth between their link which is an english we will go back. this is a very important meeting, melissa. >> melissa: david made an important point, those people are china's neighbors. this scene right here is a message to china. >> harris: excuse me once i can. we have translation. let's watch. it's a puttermac >> for prostrate incivility, i'm happy that both the countries are both of them are -- the three countries together, it's a matter of good fortune that we will go together. when you look at the acronym of our three countries, japan, america, and india, it is "jai," which in our linkage means success. this message is a good message that goes out to good beginnings, , and together, as i said earlier, we would be playing a very big role to work together. for prosperity, peace, and

stability. >> [speaking foreign language] speed went all right, now we have the prime minister of japan, shinzo abe. what is critical here, david, we were talking about earlier. you have the whole world watching after a deal that was already made with mexico and canada this morning. they inked that deal, the president did. we know that this president will jump in and renegotiate trade, and his critics can say "it's not that different from after." no doubt, on that podium right now, they see a man in the subject is willing to get into it. china already, their neighbor, has been feeling the tariffs and the tough conversation. >> david: there isn't a country in this world that doesn't want to do business with the united states and have access to our market. there is no doubt to the president of china is sitting in his hotel room looking at this press conference right now, or will watch the replay of it. because this is more than just

economics. we are doing economic activity with these two countries. we are also doing military with these countries. they are buying our military weapons. >> harris: president trump is taking some questions. let's watch. and the timing, sometimes that goes on. hold on one second. he was getting shot at some questions and he answered quickly. if we can, we will play back. they are finished for now. as we see the situation at the g20 come back, we will bring it to life. >> melissa: i wanted to add really quickly, something i heard yesterday about china that's really important. this is already working, because they have already lowered tariffs. as of november 1st, on 1500 products -- textiles, paper products, electrical, mechanical equipment. i was fact-checking this with the brain room and i want to make a point. people ask what effect it's having. china has already caved.

♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> kennedy: here we go, that's a picture of the president meeting with prime minister's abe and modi from japan and india, respectively. that's a trilateral conference. the president also apparently bumped into sardi crown prince mohammad bin salman. we don't know the contents of that. we are very curious as to what they might've discussed. what you think went on that conversation, david? >> david: we can only speculate. what did come out of the summit that is significant is the deal between the united states, mexico, and canada. in this meeting that just occurred there between the president and the leaders of japan and india. because those are significant to get china. that's what matters out of the summit.

>> kennedy: melissa, one of our closest allies, japan. saint japan, india, the united states. that since a clear message to china. india also has an emerging middle class, and they would love to have access to the u.s. market in u.s. products. >> melissa: he saying "i'm making a deal with these guys come and you better get on board because you don't have a choice." the data coming out of china, we were talking about it before, issuing increasing pressure on the population on the kingdom itself. we have seen china case. i mentioned that briefly before the break. somebody mentioned it to me yesterday, i wanted to do a fact-check here at fox. there are so many products as of november 1st that the chinese lowered the tariffs on. signaling that they are coming or around and they want to send. i think the president is making progress. >> harris: really quickly, to vladimir putin, seated next to -- at that leadership meeting this morning -- the crown prince of saudi arabia. they exchanged pleasantries right there on camera so we could see that as well. just reporting the news.

>> kennedy: interesting. we will keep you posted all of that. we will be right back. stay withme us proven cough medicine. with 8 hours of vapors, so he can sleep. vicks vaporub. goodnight coughs.

>> melissa: we want to bring you this breaking news as it's happening. we are just getting reports of a very large earthquake that has hit anchorage, alaska.

the usgs right now is reporting that it's approximately 6.7 in magnitude. that is a big earthquake. there's also a tsunami warning in effect right now for the coastal areas of the cook inlet and the southern peninsula that is in alaska. there's a tsunami warning now in effect after this earthquake. we are getting very preliminary news of this. there's not a lot else that we know at this moment. we will keep you posted as we get more details. a major earthquake, right there. we want to bring it back down to the couch to talk about one of the things we just saw a short time ago, going on at the g20 summit. that had to do with the president and the crown prince of saudi arabia on the sideline. we are told they were exchanging pleasantries. we don't know what that means. or, many more details about that. acknowledging each other. what is your take? >> david: conversations like that can be helpful but often at the summits they produce nothin nothing. the larger policies that america

and the president are pushing toward saudi arabia are far more important than any tent-second exchange the two of them may have at the summit. >> melissa: one thing we heard a lot of criticism about his louis the president reacted, is the united states doing enough? i wonder, we don't have any idea what's going on behind the scenes. we don't know what the united states has done in terms of a response to this. when he talked about privately, what is coming. what are your thoughts on that? >> katie: i think there's a lot we don't know. however, it's a bigger picture. we talked about the iran issue. i saw an article yesterday in the jerusalem post about how saudi arabia and egypt are potentially going to open up trade with israel. which is peace in the middle east that we have not ever seen. it's a broader, bigger picture than just punishing saudi arabia for what happened. the president isn't going to just berate him in front of the world, because people feel like he should. >> melissa: kennedy, really quick, it reminds us why we are so closely aligned with israel.

they share our values for human rights and democracy. something like this remind you about how they are different from the neighbors. >> kennedy: they are, and they are surrounded by people who want them wiped off the map. it's impossible for us to conceive of a dynamic like that. >> melissa: more "outnumbered" in just a moment. veterans like us earned the powerful va home loan benefit that lets us borrow up to 100 percent of our home's value. at newday usa, that can mean a lot more money, especially if your home has gone up in value. on average, our veterans take out 54,000 dollars. the newday 100 va loan lets you refinance your mortgage, consolidate your high rate credit card debt, get cash... and lower your payments by over 600 dollars a month. and because newday usa has been granted automatic authority by the va, they can say yes when banks say no. they look at your whole financial picture, not just your credit score. they even do all the va paperwork for you, so your loan could close
