the question is will new york and other tax states get the message and am going to ask you, if david asmany, if you tax them they will leave. >> absolutely. here's what's going to kill connecticut's annual in the other states. not only high taxes but technology. back when carl icahn was becoming his billionaire. you had to be in new york city, that's where the people were, you did not have the high-speed internet, he had to do a lot of things face-to-face. i used to do the show from washington, d.c. because that's where the studio was, i could do this for my own house. i kept thinking why don't have to be in new york city, why should i pay the high taxes just for the convenience of being there. you'll find more and more people moving from those areas into the florida's, texas, because the technology makes it okay and the tax is the cherry on the top. >> we have seen this before, first of all there's no disputing that many people will flee a high-tech syria for lower tax area. but these places with concentration of industries that have something special going on like new york, california, e

good evening, i'm david asman in for trish. our top story tonight, major theatrics on capitol hill.ouse intel chairman adam schiff amping up the drama on the phone call with president trump's ukrainian counterpart. >> it read like a classic organized crime shakedown. i hear what you want. i have a favor want from you, though. and i'm going to say this only seven times so you better listen good. i want to you make up dirt on my political opponent. understand? lots of it. on this and on that. you know what i am asking or i will only say this a few more times in a few more ways. and by the way, don't call me again, i will call you when you have done what i asked. dave require appears like he's reading from the transcript. but the problem with schiff's statement is president trump never said that. schiff's version of the call goes unchallenged until later in the hearing when he admits his fabricated version was meant to be parody. >> my summary of the call was meant to be in part parody. the president never said if you don't understand me, i'll say it seven more times. my point is that'

welcome, everybody i'm david asman this is bulls & bears thanks for joining us. joining me on the panel is scott martin, christina partsinevelos, and gary kaltbaum and the carol roth. >> [laughter] david: well the president tweet ing this response to the rate cut. "jay powell and the federal reserve fail again, no guts, no sense, no vision, a terrible communicator." that is an economic confidence index of the country's top ceo's sinks to its lowest level under president trump due in part to u.s. trade policy, and jpmorgan 's jamie dimon says he does not think cutting rates will offset trade worries though he also reiterated he does not see a recession near, but should investors be concerned about a slowdown? >> not to be cynical here, david, but i think that the business roundtable might have an alterior motive because they were very concerned about the third quarter but then six months out, they have all of this optimism so they have a slowing in sales in the third quarter but six months out they think they were going to have an increase the same thing with capex

i'm david asman. stocks getting a big pop from news of top level trade talks, scheduled for october. we have been here before. the question is are markets getting ahead of themselves? what do you think >> i don't think so. keep in mind the indices are still where they were about a year ago. some of the smaller indices, transports where where they were 20 months ago. we're coming back to the upper ranges here. i think this is somewhat normal. keep in mind, the big guy is going to happen real soon. interest rates are coming down. the fed will lower rates. we have ten years of history when we get easier money, the market likes it, and i think that's a part of what's going on. as far as chinchina, i think th easy money is a catalyst to make it good news. even though there's no new news because we have been hearing the same for 15 months. >> yes, we're going to have china trade talks, boy, the market loves that, but behind that, we are look agent a act--e acquiescent fed. the consumer continues to do very

i'm david asman. joining me is jackie deangeles, heather zumaraga and gary b. smith. >> we are looking for a complete deal. i'm not looking for a partial deal. china has been starting to buy our agricultural product, if you have noticed over the last week and actually some very big purchases, but that's not what i'm looking for. we're looking for the big deal. my relationship with president xi is a very amazing one, very good one, but we have right now a little spat, but i think we're doing very well. our country is doing well. david: a little spat. well, president trump also adding he doesn't need to reach a deal with china before the 2020 election. all these comments prompting the china trade delegation to announce it is now cancelling a planned trip to visit montana farmers. that's next week. now, that sent the markets tumbling. check out the dow at about 1:13 p.m. eastern time, just when the china news hit the wires. markets dropping like a stone. the dow losing more than 200 points at that point. it recovered a little bit at the end of the day, but not muc

i'm david asman. joining me is kristina partsinevelos, jonathan hoenig and liz peek. after an attack on saudi oil facilities, will president trump be able to drum up support for action against iran? what do you think, liz? >> i think it is very difficult, the european allies in particular want to preserve the so called jcpoa, the nuclear deal with iran. they have their own self-interests and mercantile interests at heart. they want to do deals with iran. the minute the deal was concluded they were in iran negotiating all kinds of pretty large scale export projects and stuff like that. they want that to continue. there was a little bit of a breakthrough today when boris johnson, obviously the new head of the u.k., said he was interested in possibly doing a deal, and iran's foreign minister also talked about how maybe we could do a new deal with perpetuity of inspections and restraint on building a nuclear weapon in exchange for perpetuating the lifting of sanctions. so there's movement, but it's a pretty tough sell. >> that's the most important part of the equation tha

hi everybody this is bulls & bears i'm david asman. thanks for joining us. joining me on the panel gary kaltbaum, liz peek, jonathan hoe nig and robert wolf. house speaker nancy pelosi's drug pricing plan allows medicare to negotiate lower prices and penalize companies that raise the price of their drugs faster than inflation, but fox news medical correspondent dr. mark said gal joins us now and you say pelosi's bill has serious downsides explain. >> well first of all it's going to stifle innovation and that's going to be very interesting to everyone on the panel. innovation we're talking about personalized medicine talking about a time when something comes out like some kind of immune o therapy, bioengineered products, genetics, new cancer treatments, new robotics. all of these things work for some people not for other people and they are extremely expensive there's simply no way that a negotiated medicare price is going to cover these innovative treatments. >> so one of the things that seems to get everybody angry is that foreign countries pay less for ame
