hacks in new jersey, and california. eric: unbelievable this is happening, we will see you back here at -- >> 4:00 p.m. eastern, hopefully you can join us. >> see you later. ♪ >> president trump is doubling down on the economy hitting back against fears of global recession and promising more growth if he's reelected, welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm molly. leland: good to be with you, democrats have a slightly different view shall we say of the economy, the president and advisers say that china is burying the burden of tariffs and kevin corke traveling with the president on last day of vacation up in new jersey, kevin for a while it seemed like to

white house was saying, yeah, maybe the son -- consumers in america might feel the tariffs and now they are never mind. >> we've had incredible growth, consumer down a little bit of a shade, consumers don't seem to be impacted at least not broadly speaking, listen, all you have to do is look at last week, it's anybody's guest what happens with the market, right, but a come of things would happen that would take it in the right direction, we are talking about wrapping up the trade deal with china and clearly getting usmca over the finish line in capitol hill hill. therethere are a couple of indis that we look on the market, last week was certainly a roller coaster, look at the numbers my friend, down 800, then back up 99 and 307, what's going on with the markets? trade, hong kong just to name a

few but the president's chief economist, leland, says now is the time to stay the core. >> the trump progrowth program which i believe has been succeeding lower tax rates, big roleback -- roll back of regulations, trade reform, we will stay with that, we believe that's the heart of the free enterprise. >> larry kudlow there, the president's chief economic adviser, but over on capitol hill, more congressional democrats questioning the administration's policies and i should point this out, leland, the same goes for 2020 democratic candidates out on the campaign trail. >> that's the best possible way to come to a conclusion that benefits our economies and ensure that is we have a stable global economy going forward because i'm afraid that this president is driving the global economy and our economy into recession. >> beto o'rourke there talking about the best way forward is to

not continue this trade back and forth with china. i should point that in a week or so we will hear from chairman jarome powell, interesting to measure impact not just on markets but also chance to gauge the white house's reaction, the chairman to speak on friday. we are also looking forward to housing numbers, new home sales, i think that's on a wednesday, i will check the metrics on that and see what the president working with negotiators on talks with china, interesting week, back to you, my friend. leland: the president flies back in a couple of hours. kevin, thanks so much, molly. >> all right, let's bring in republican oklahoma congressman and ranking member of the house rules committee tom cole, congressman, thanks for joining us on this sunday, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> a lot to talk about the economy, pretty good rundown of

ups and downs we saw on the market from kevin corke, something to watch, slowdown broadly around the globe, the president kind of speaking from a point of confidence last week when he was up in new hampshire sort of suggesting, you have to vote for me because your 401(k) and economic adviser larry kudlow was on fox news sunday and he had this to say, take a listen. >> consumers, first of all, they are working, second of all, they are work at much higher wages, third of all, they're spending and fourth of all, interestingly they are saving even while they are spending, that's about as good as it gets, i don't know what it is, everybody wants to talk about pessimism, recessions, there's no res decision on the -- recession on the horizon. >> recession or no? >> we are in strongest position

of any major country in the world, decent rate numbers and very robust consumer confidence, you can see it in the spending numbers here, i feel pretty good, certainly things we can do, the number one thing congress can do is ask what the president asked them to do and pass the usmca, the trade agreement between méxico, canada and the united states. those two countries, by the way are much bigger trading partners than even china which is significant partner and we need to continue to press on that front, but, gosh, we ought to get that bill moving, they have the votes in the senate, has to start in the house, squarely up to speaker pelosi if she will put it on the floor, we have more enough republican and democratic votes to pass it. >> yeah, as you mentioned this very important, bringing something up, a lot of focus on china but also big and something the farmers are thinking about, we will talk to a farmer little later on in the show about it. what about there in the mid wrest, -- midwest, do they have

patience? >> they do, they would prefer free market, over 13,000 farms and ranches, something we feel, they think the president is doing the right thing, standing up to chinese, we've all known this needed to be done for quite sometime, it's ironic to listen to criticism, the president has been doing a lot of things that they've been urging presidents to do republican alike for many, many years, some of the criticism is certainly election year motivated, shall we say. >> i do want to touch on china before, we go, of course, further talks for next month, president trump expects confidence in u.s. economy that the u.s. economy can withstand the trade war, back and forth between america and china better than the chinese economy can, your thoughts on how long this is taking, extended back and forth with china.

>> china has horizon time wise and frankly they've had a free run ever since they got wto in early 90's, so they just frankly haven't played by the rules, they've exploited the system, by the way, it's not just us saying that most countries in the world will tell you same thing and i think there's an opportunity here for the united states to work with other countries who also have found that the chinese predatory in trade practices, you know, prone to steal your technology and engage in intellectual property theft as well. so, again, i think the president has a strong hand, the american people need to be patient on this, i think they'll bring a good deal home but i would be surprised for chinese to give up easily when things have worked for them so well so long. >> yeah, and there are folks on the other side of the aisle, congressman, thank you. >> molly, thank you. >> democratic options to spin the economic numbers come 2020,

strategists and former obama campaign spokesman zach joining us from the sunny shores of california on sunday morning, good to see you, my friend. all right. >> good to be here. >> facts are pesty things, facts, there's not been incumbent president who has lost reelection in a good economic times since world war ii, reasonable people can agree we are in a good economic time, how do democrats do it? >> well, i'd actually think there's a couple of way that is they could do it, first off, you can make hillary clinton was running and many expect third term of barack obama and even though the economy had turned around and i think we do have something something that's pretty different in this time that we've had historically which is people aren't quite feeling the economic growth in the same way, lower, and industrial midwest which would be the state that is carried the election in 2020. leland: is there a fine line for democrats to walk when you have somebody like bill mahr saying

this? >> i've been saying for about 2 years that i hope we have a recession, i'm just saying we can survive a recession, we've had 47 of them. yeah, a recession would be worth getting rid of donald trump and these kind of policies. leland: beto o'rourke trump is driving us into a recession, congressman from texas yesterday trump is accelerating us into a recession, sounds like democrats are hopeful for it? >> i think it's one thing to say that you believe that the president's policies are bringing you into a recession and some things that haven't been helpful but totally inappropriate to be rooting for a recession. leland: can you understand how it sounds that way? >> with bill mahr is direct. i would take a different view on those running for president that they would do economic policy different, they wouldn't do tax cut for the rich and i think accelerating some of the

challenge that is we are facing economically, the president's policies. leland: in terms of how they are spinning it people running for president, take a listen to pete buttigieg in the campaign trail, we will get your reaction. >> you have an economy that's not working for most americans, big debate whether we are on the cusp of a recession, i think we probably are but the more important thing even during an expansion most americans haven't been able to get ahead. leland: now we look at the american public views that, there is the fox news poll of personal financial situation, 50% holding steady, falling behind 26%, get ago head 22%, noteworthy exactly the same numbers as september 2018. >> well, i think if you listen to president reagan are you better off than 4 years, according to fox news 76% of americans are saying they are not better off economically four years ago, if i were the president i would be concerned, he's been running on the

economy. strange thing to do. go ahead. leland: so should that be the democratic message and come back with reagan line, if you're better off, go ahead and vote for president trump otherwise vote for me and you think they will on that? >> i think that they need to focus on economic populist, they really need to focus on the states throughout the midwest, if they did that again and talk less about the larger and broader social issues that they seem to be consumed with, they would have a good case. leland: economic populists are you going as far as the elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, wealth tax, free college, et cetera, because people at least that i talk to throughout say the industrial midwest, they are not really interested in government handouts? >> yeah, i don't consider that populist, i consider that an ideology, for me this is more about how does somebody that works 9:00 to 5:00 able to pay for mortgage, somebody that works 9:00 to 5:00 be able to ensure that they have health

care, basic bread and butter things and both parties that have quite frankly forgotten about and if you focus on the issue you'll be okay in 2020. leland: you think act the factories workers in western pennsylvania and michigan and wisconsin, they are certainly not working 9:00 to 5:00, certainly long hours there. zach, appreciate your time, good to see you. >> thanks, leland. leland: enjoy the rest of the weekend, molly. >> pictures out of greenville, new hampshire where julian castro and few other candidates attending picnic, peter doocy in north carolina where bernie sanders is supposed to tour neighborhoods, peter. >> molly, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are both trying to chip in into joe biden's big lead in south carolina with african-american voters, this is a state where african-american voters make up the majority of the democratic primary electorate and bernie sanders will try to do that today by rolling out what he's calling a

justice and safety for all plan, you heard of medicare for all, now justice and safety for all, the campaign sent over remarks and this is what he's going today, no more keeping people in jail because they are too poor, if we can stand together reform and prosecute police brutality, if we stand to go there's nothing, nothing we can't accomplish. elizabeth warren in south carolina this afternoon, the day after she did something that's very rare for democratic primary candidates in early states, she had a capacity crowd of hundreds, there wasn't room for everybody that wanted to come and here senator warren, she did go out and address the overflow crowd, she said at one point she had bad news, there was no more room inside but she had good news, there was no more room inside. she said she thought they could make south carolina a red state a blue state, warren and saturdayers -- sanders forgiving student loan debt and this morning up in new hampshire we heard julian castro who still

hasn't qualified for the september debate said he's getting close pitched something similar. ♪ >> we have scaled up, if you're between 0 and 250% of poverty level then you would -- you wouldn't have to pay anything and then it goes up from there but nobody would ever pay more than 10% of their income and if you go like that for the life of the loan or at most for 20 years, then whatever is left, would wiped away on tap of that we cap the interest that you could pay. >> bernie sanders, one of three in fox news poll in double digits along with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and joe biden, has the ability to fill up hundred or several thousand seats venue but something small, going with small crowd, you can see behind us they have music and dancing in the neighborhood and we do expect the senator from vermont

here in colombia any minute. molly. >> peter doocy, thanks for your work out there on the trail, we appreciate it. leland: barbecue going there too, amid peace talks between the united states and the taliban, isis is now taking responsibility for an attack that killed at least 63 people, injured almost 200 at wedding in afghanistan, hard to imagine the headlines and peace talks and attack a coincidence. gillian: isis claimed responsibility for the attack, the group posted propaganda photo of the man they claim is the perpetrator, they host online, terrorism experts say the move has become a signature for the terrorist groups who used the aftermath of attacks to spread hate far and wide across the internet. one guest who was at the go aheading where the attack

unfolded described the scene, take a listen. >> the explosion happened near the stage where the musicians were, all the youth with children and all the people that were there were killed, some wounded and now they are in the hospital and others are dead. gillian: president trump convened a meeting with national security team this weekend to figure out whether cutting a deal with the afghan taliban in exchange for withdrawing troops in the country makes strategic sense, afghanistan's president meanwhile is making the case that taliban is not to be trusted. >> the taliban cannot absolve themselves of responsibility because they provide the platform for terror. gillian: some of president trump's strong supporters are opposed the idea of a drawdown. >> there's no circumstance i can envision leaving afghanistan without a counter terrorism force and intel capability to protect us against another 9/11

because al-qaeda and isis is alive and well in afghanistan. >> military draft who support withdrawing from afghanistan make the case that u.s. troops on the ground and the country has been reduced as glorified police force and they see after 18 years of war it's really just time for the u.s. to pull the plug. leland: america's longest war and lindsey graham went worst that it would be worst than obama's deal with iran to leave without the necessary precautions. >> tough criticism. leland: thanks, gillian. >> fox news alert, you are looking at live pictures out of gibraltar, that tanker was being held for allegedly trying to breach eu sanctions in syria, iran ambassador to britain released statement saying the ship is expected to leave tonight. leland: all right, there was a river of democracy protestors in

>> yeah, my family's farm is fourth generation farm in central iowa where we raise corn and soybeans and to be honest with you, it's been a little tough this year continuing to try and understand how these tariffs are going to impact us and to -- to manage through so much uncertainty in the markets right now. >> yeah, you are essential not alone in that, many farmers that showed the concerns, let's start into trade and impact we have been talking about trade lately, several big deals yet to be made but democratic white house hopeful kirsten gillibrand was on today and she talked about the new trade deal with canada and méxico, take a listen. >> i'm concerned because i think nafta 2.0 is a disaster, i think it was a give away to drug companies in méxico, it's going harm our jobs, president trump said no bad trade deals, not only entered into them but he started a trade war with china and it's really harming producers. >> now, she argue that is this deal harms, what is your take on

the usmca? >> i would disagree strongly with her, i actually think that this trade deal is one that will help us farmers especially as we continue to struggle through just time when markets are down and farm incomes have been down, any time that we can have access to major trading partners like canada and méxico, it is something worth pursuing and i encourage our elected officials to -- to follow suit and to get this ratified. >> you know, you talked a little bit about uncertainty here at the top of the intervene, shifting to trade war in china, the strength of the u.s. economy is good, long back and forth with china can be withstood by the u.s. economy, and the administration is offering essentially compensation to america's farmers, your thoughts on that? are americas' farmers running out of patience on this? >> at tend of the day we want

trade and not aid, farmer support while it was there for president trump, starting to become really strange. the administration has noticed that and has made adjustments and offered opportunities to -- to try and negate some of those things, at the end to have day, we want to be in the game, we are tired of being in the sidelines when it comes to china, one of our major trading partners and we are concerned that we are losing our spot to countries in south america or australia or others around the world that once this gets resolved we may not have the same access that we had prior to this. >> you brought it up, china is turning to brazil who have ramped up soybean production, are you concerned that supply lines, once a buyer begins to find new places to buy things from, are you worried about the long-term impact of all of this? >> i think that's exactly right, when we think about this as farmers we don't think just in

one year increments, we like to think about the long-term and what we are doing in our businesses, so many of our investments an purchases are large dollars that span multiple years and so when we think about this trade war, we are looking and concerned about how we lose our spot at the table when new markets or new countries are -- are taking our place while we are sat on the sidelines. >> all right, scott henry, among the team that runs farms and we wish you many years of success along with colleagues and thinking of farmers, appreciate it, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. leland: democratic congressman tlaib wouldn't go to israel and now calling for boycott of bill mahr, what are fellow members of the squad saying when we come back? hi mrs. carmen! hey theo. cop: onstar, i have the stolen vehicle in sight.

rashida tlaib is suggesting viewers boycott a show after he used harmful language to criticize the support of the boycott israel movement. >> it is important to remember that rashida tlaib and ilhan omar support for this boycott is why israel blocked them from visiting this last week in the first place. in light of that, bill asked his pal if it was fair to boycott the jewish state when they sidestepped the question he answered himself. >> it's a test by people that want to appear but actually slept through history class. as if the occupation came right out of the blue, this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied. >> he went on to cite the

movement us is the jewish state shouldn't exist. as for tlaib and omar he says it's clear they would not receive a heroes welcome due to anti-semitic statements he -- they made. but tlaib says maybe phil should boycott his show. i'm tired of speech center on equality and freedom lysistrata had to discredit and stop the boycott against our part tied in south africa. they said israel was right to block the visit given the track record of criticizing the jewish state. >> they consistently post anti-semitic things on their social media. there anti-semitic relationships and associations. anti-semitic tropes. >> the movement does not have a lot of support in congress and

despite arguments is worth noting that just last year said minor leader chuck schumer described as an anti-semitic campaign to delegitimize the state of israel. >> it seems like this just keeps going and going. >> and it will. >> thank you. >> without the store would be over on friday with that would go toward talk radio panel atlanta-based post were shot of richie and -- good to see you. there's a lot we can disagree back and forth on who is right and wrong but logical politics of this. somehow the president has forced so many of the democrats to come to the defense of two of the most extreme members of the democratic caucus who have certainly flirted with if not outright supported a lot of anti-semitic things. >> will i think they find themselves having to talk on both sides of the mouth and one respected think there was a resolution where recently criticizing the movement and 390 votes to 16 or something like that. the vast majority of democratic

party and republican party is against the bds movement. ilhan omar and rashida tlaib i think represent a very small minority of the thinking process out there. >> i guess the question is, is the president, forcing summary democrats to come to the defense something that is wildly unpopular? >> i think the president is making a mistake. netanyahu was going to allow these two columns him into trouble they are given in the midst of their criticism. aipac the strong as procrit israel group on the planet earth disagrees with benjamin netanyahu, disagrees with president trump. tell me that aipac is more american -- >> let's get away from whether it was right or wrong of the prime minister to deny entry. let's look forward here to the politics of this that somehow the president has pushed a

whole slew of democrats it would love to distance themselves from ilhan omar and rashida tlaib into defendant appeared. >> but no one is monolithic in a political narrative. i don't think increase any type of style points for the president. democrats simply have different philosophies just like republicans. ideology is a spectrum. it is never concreted moves over time. i think actually gives them and their movement more media because we are talking about it. and you'll hear more on monday so probably is positive for the congresswomen not for president trump. >> somehow brian everyone's been talking about rashida tlaib's grandmother a lot. she was not exactly a household name 72 hours ago. >> now. well, and i think that's where the breakdown occurs. both congresswomen would've benefited from this to the extent they wanted to get their movement in front of the american people as a broader discussion point. their trip itinerary said they were going to basically to palestine, not israel. and i think that was one of the

problems that israel had a flag that said then we requested this visit because of her illness. that made sense, yes, absolutely. but you must promise and she did in her statement, that she would not criticize israel when she realized that she said no, not going. many suggested she threw her grandmother under the bus. what's more important than your 90-year-old grandmother before she passes will make a political point while you're there. >> and it seems like she answer the question about what was more important. the lender clearly says as he is pointed out, the letter said, any conditions that you placed on me to visit my grandmother and then it was not 12 hours later that she said nevermind, i cannot deal with conditions you placed on me. that doesn't exactly lend credibility that this was a genuine, heartfelt attempt to go visit her grandmother. it just feels so more political and calculated. >> we do not know.

>> hold on, rashad, go ahead. rashad? >> we don't really know what happened between those 12 hours. >> we know what she said and what she did not say. we know she said any conditions in the she said i will not accept the conditions. so whatever it was she said she would accept it. >> as a said before, we do not know what her conversation was with her grandmother after she said that. my grandmother would've told me, you better stay or behind exactly were at until conditions are proper for a free exercise of your ability to come to this country.>> she made the point and the grandmothers family when interviewed by fox news and others made exactly the point that you just made, gentlemen, great discussion about a sensitive topic. we appreciate the insight. have a great weekend. >> dozens of military members seeing their families for the

china's economy has been heading south so -- >> will get to the economics in a manipulative economic argument that china guitar the other is a national security argument. why do you think we keep hearing the economic argument that you suggest a fib that the u.s. never pays any of and china pays all of it. when they could be making this the national security argument? >> well, actually think they are protectionists the people running the country right now, for the country first. there is a national can security with the intellectual property and things like that but i'm a big believer in outcome. we have been told how tariff wars are marvelous and great and easy. it's been like 16 months now and we are in the worst position we been in since we started talking to them before we started talking and now china is retaliating and aware that puts president trump in a box now and again, there is

more to come. >> in a way, the administration cried uncle to unilaterally pull back these extra terrace because they said they worried about the christmas season and retailers rising prices.this is how the american public feels about free trade, a great interesting poll from the nbc wall street journal organization, free trade is good 64 percent free trade is bad only 25 percent. >> free-trade is excellent. it is what the economies of the world have flourished over the last couple of decades being able to do business with everybody else as the consumers get better. one of the great stories around the globe for the last 10 or 15, 20 years is so much people coming out of poverty and work and into wealth and able to spend more money so it has worked and i just which we would get away from what we are seeing right now. >> is worked for the chinese are free-trade in the united states, they are not so keen about free trade back into china.

either way, it is about the economy to quote - dana perino that removed the is the economy stupid, she moved the stupid yesterday so will give her the quote - rather than james here's how the president put it about his support. >> i know you like me, this room is a love best, i know that we have no choice but but to vote for me because your 401(k) down the tubes, everything will be down the tubes. whether you love me or hate me, you have to vote for me. >> 15 seconds, do you agree that if the president will leave the stock market takes a hit? >> i think it bernie sanders or elizabeth or president absolutely less so for joe biden. i think is definitely more moderate. a long way to go my friend. >> very long way. that means we get to have you back to talk about it. may your driving range section be as good as your insight good to see you. >> thank you. >> kids across the country

kids are contributing more and more. so children will be spending $53 of their own money towards buying these purchases. it's about 50 percent higher than what we've seen previous years. they're making a contribution. >> and perhaps they understand the value of a dollar. a lot of schools of their work is to be up to date and to know how to use computers in that sort of thing is that part of this overall expense to be up-to-date with modern-day technology? >> absolutely. one of the two biggest items that we see both for back to school and back to colleges electronics.the number one item for back to college, by a long margin and they are buying mostly laptops. >> also want to touch on quickly, tariffs, this is been in the news big-time is it having an impact at all on back-to-school spending?>> you know, we do not actually see a lot of impact for these goods because a lot of these goods come in the country some time ago. and are not subject to tariffs yet. >> we have a couple photos of something that potentially

could be impact but i think you're getting at some of the stuff is already here so -- >> absolutely. and you know, we are pleased to see the government has pushed back the next set of tariffs which will contain a lot of items that would have been on the back-to-school shopping list. do tips member in december. so that is positive news. >> what about the sales tax holidays? they are big in august and a lot of states have them some already have them. does that help the consumer, who does it help? is it more of a marketing thing? >> i think it actually helps the consumer. we see 16 states doing it this year which is one of the highest readings that we've had since this started in the 90s. it doesn't sound like big numbers, six or seven percent but remember sales tax is a regressive tax. for low income families it makes a difference it is your spending, $1600 per household, you know every little bit that you can save is, it's a good

thing. >> they mean something. national retail federation, mark matthews, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> only in florida you might say. why police say this suspect tried to bury his girlfriend's car. what could go wrong with that? next. sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar. glucerna. everyday progress ...and it's now on sale fors and just $59.ories. it can lead you on an unexpected journey... ...to discover your heritage. get your dna kit (now) for just $59 at ancestry.com. the doctor's office might mejust for a shot.o but why go back there when you can stay home with neulasta® onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta® reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%
