i'm neil cavuto.this is your world what a crazy world it's been from -- think about this week from vladimir putin and the big conversation and the big back and forth over interpretations and pivots and who knew what and a week-ending news shows the presence of a tape and maybe others that have people asking one word. why? to kevin corke at the white house. >> that is the 64,000 question. what on earth was michael cohen thinking recording his client like that. we won't even get to the number of issues that that has to deal with in terms of his professional future but fox news can confirm that in fact mr. cohen recorded his client, candidate trip a couple of months before the election in 2016. why does this matter? it matters because we can tell you that in those conversations the men discuss payments that were never made to a playboy model that said she had a fling with the president, then candidates, going back to 2006. here's what's new. the fbi seized those recordings. we're going to talk about the

neil: u.s.sian relations are the worse they've ever been but putin is not the reason, we are the reason just like we are the reason the chinese are cleaning up on trade, it's not that they cheat it's because for years we let them cheat. never mind russia invaded the ukraine, we let them invade ukraine or china seized on american's appetite for cheap goods, we let. it's not that russian leaders weren't cunning, not that chinese leaders weren't true, our leaders were true. not that canada has become threat to national security, we let them become threat to national security. canada? so don't blame any of their leaders, blame our leaders, just not this leader because to hear the president tell it it's not his fault the world is a mess. all right, i got a lot of reaction and a lot more on your world on fox news later on, 4:00 p.m. eastern time. a lot of you not thinking much of my comments there or that my goal dismerging predecessor. i want to get the read from a big backer of the united states, a

neil? the trade situation, when you talk to traders in general, nicole, how much does this weigh on them? >> listen, they're -- it's very headline-driven market, no doubt. when we start to hear 34 billion, right? u.s./china, that right off the gate monday morning really pressured stocks. now we're starting to hear businesses talking about it. for example today deutsche bank downgrading those airlines and concerns about cap-e, and spending. if the companies aren't going to be spending and trade's an issue, they're not going to be taking those trips abroad, and airlines are a good example because 65-70% of the revenue for those big three come from business spending and, obviously, travel. so they're worried about trade tensions. we heard general motors. so they're watching here on wall street every headline. still trying to remain optimistic though, they are still buying some of the dips like we saw yesterday. neil: nicole, thank you very, very much on the floor of the new york stock exchange

neil? >> neil: on we go. blake burman, thanks very much. normally this would be a worry to the markets and the economy. did not appear today to be a worry to either, especially given good economic news and surprisingly strong unemployment report that was out or jobs report. better than 200,000 americans finding employment in the month of june. there were some details within that record that were surprisingly strong and pointed to a continued strength that the president says gives us the advantage in any trade fight. hillary vaughn is here to break it down. hi, hillary. >> the president is celebrating this latest jobs report tweeting jobs, jobs, jobs. the economy is on the longest job-creating streak ever. last month the u.s. continued their historic run, gaining more jobs. in june, the u.s. added 213,000 jobs beating what everyone expected by 13,000 positioned. here's the industries seeing the most growth. health and education adding 54,000. manufacturing with 36,000 jobs. leisure, hospitality, an extra 25,000 jobs. wages stayed flat. up .2

neil? >> neil: all right. ellison barber. thank you. let's get the read on this from a former heinz ceo, bill johnson. great to have you here. >> good to see you, neil. >> neil: we've had these sort of pops up before where the economy has a great three months and then recedes back. the president is confident, his associates are confident, this could be a trend. are you? >> i don't know, neil. i think there's a couple of things that are much different this time. the deregulation of the economy, the tax cuts, the fact that businesses are starting to spend finally after a ten-year hiatus and the consumer confidence will play to strength. the economists are the same guys that said when the president was elected, sell all your stocks. >> neil: you're very right an't that. >> the world is going to a global recession. so they're the same guys that boo santa claus. i don't hold a lot of sway. >> neil: yeah, they were the same one at bill johnson, what is he going to do at heinz? they were proven wrong. let's ask about the environment here. even

neil: i don't know. i will give the benefit of doubt to maybe jet lag and time differences but holy -- thank you very much, my friend. as stuart and company just reporting here, we got very confusing read what happened down in 2016 what really transpired. where did all of this go? suffice it to say vladmir putin was of the mind-set what interference, what election meddling. the president appeared, the president appeared to take him at face value, it didn't seem to be much there there. of course it was said at a venue where vladmir putin was telling this to the president behind closed doors and explaining what was there. the only hint where president of russia was indicates woe be open to look into this was this notion of exchanging information with essentially each other's agents. i'm over simplifying here but good luck on that front here. could explain why the markets are nonplussed or just dropped jaw awe. let's get read on all of this here. what is important, this dominated discussion with the media.

neil? neil: hillary, thank you very be very. read on all this, if we've been under assumption it is russia, all of that, no, we find china puts them to shame, what do we do? defense one technology editor patrick tucker with us right now. patrick, are they as big as this as that report seemed to intimate? >> yes, a new report from f5 came out on their website actually within the hour. it does show that chinese hackers were specifically targeting internet of things devices in helsinki in lead-up to the trump-putin summit that traffic jumping more than 2000 percent and it does come in line what we understand about chinese cyber espionage. it is persistent, it is pervasive, it is very well-done. these particular attacks were brute force attacks on internet connected devices. a lot of compute power, manpower going into them. the difference whereas china takes information that it ex-filtrates and uses it internally to inform strategy and future decisions, russia will operationalize it in ways that causes a lot of attention. many ways

neil: incredible.we keep ignoring that or putting off the tough decisions, i know when you were serving in washington, very minor adjustments and for example, title and elsewhere, there are waves of slowing the growth of this. >> there were. neil: but even that, both parties are reluctant to do. what gives? >> interesting, neil. joe lieberman and i created modifications for both social security and medicare that were fairly painless except for those very well to do in our country, that would have extended the life of those about 25 to 30 years, and neither mcconnell nor harry reid would hear for us to bring that to the floor. neil: not to give them a pass here, but even when you talk about minor adjustments, it's generally vilified, you are throwing granny off a cliff, or forcing older folks to live on dog food, and the debate ends, right? >> here's the thing, americans, 22 trillion doesn't mean anything to them, nobody knows what a trillion is. here's what's going to happen, and it's happened through

neil: i am curious.ocrats will never get back in charge, they would be pushing an attack the court mentality. maybe if they had the run of the table or control of the white house or one of the branches, particularly the senate. add more supreme court justices so it could never be overturned. have you heard that? >> i have seen mentions of it. that's really silly. think about it like playing tit for tat. they could do that. the next time the republicans get in they could get rid of those judges and expand the court and soon we'll have 100 justices on the supreme court or like china, 300 justices on the supreme court. which is political. i don't think some democrats would mind. they have been behind an effort to make the courts represent political views rather than an approach towards constitutional law. neil: john, thank you very much. i appreciate it. this all about the legacy of this president it's a little more than a year and a half. he could set the tone on the supreme court that will establish a leg

neil: really? >> now, the president really didn't like that kind of a suggestion, but obviously came to like it because of the decision he made tonight. neil: well, let me raise it with edward lawrence who's at the white house right now. edward, given the connections, the bush family connections and some of these issues that didn't really jazz the passion of the conservative crowd, it looks like kavanaugh was not going to be in the final running even though early on he was and there was a lot of, you know, horse trading back and forth as to who was in the lead. what closed the deal for him, do you know? >> reporter: you know, at this point we don't know exactly what it was that closed the deal. yeah, the president obviously looked past the differences he's had with president george w. bush because this is a candidate who was appointed to the judgeship by president george bush. he also served in the inspector general's office partly under the bush administration. now, you know, you heard here in the

neil? >> neil: thank you. blake burman in london. add nancy pelosi to the course saying this meeting isn't a good idea quoting is pelosi. president trump's continued refusal to condemn the russian attacks on our democracy even after special counsel mueller indicted 12 russian intelligence officials for interferes in the 2016 election makes it clear that meeting with putin would be pointless and dangerous. we don't flow whether he won't bring it up. it's a given he will. whatever. catherine herridge now in washington with what we're learning now about these russian officers. catherine? >> the indictment matters because it's the first time we've had a connection drawn between russian military officers and the election meddling. the officers are part of the gru, which is like the cia or the intelligence i equivalent here. they were mining this with two tracks. one was stealing the documents and political e-mails and the other was disseminating that information. here's the deputy attorney general from earlier today. >> first, they use a

me, neil.t can only do so much and i guess when the saudis says that they are open to producing $2 million more of oil a day, doesn't mean they will, doesn't same with the russians, doesn't mean they will, do you think they will and if they do will it change things? >> well, certainly saudis have made a commitment to balance the market as they have put it. if you look at opec from a larger scale, it's kind of a double-edged sword, you have some opec nations reducing their global output. if you look at specifically venezuela, nigeria,angola, commitments from kuwait and emirates to increase production with russia also committing to increase production, you kind of see that there's going to be a balance and there's anticipated that they'll be more overall production from the opec nations, the question is whether that's going to be able to balance out worldwide demand growth and right now, you know, in the last year, demand growth worldwide grew by 1.8 million-barrels a day, that's a significant gr

>> neil: all right, we are going to see it again.utin maybe this fall, as we are going back and forth about what the president could have done, maybe what he could have not have done with the one powwow he had in helsinki, finland. the change this fall, i would guess, kevin, may be at the white house. what are you hearing? >> if you know, sometimes you get a sense, especially when you read between the lines. i mentioned to you earlier that we saw the president talking about how he was looking forward to his next meeting with trump-putin. it was a throwaway line in the earlier tweet this morning, in fact we were always saying i wonder if there is more to that that meets the eye. suffice to say, apparently there is a lot more than meets the eye. we just learned from the white house secretary that the president has an instructed john bolton to reach out to vladimir putin and in fact, invite him here to washington, d.c. it has been a long time since we have seen a russian president come here to washington. let me sarah sarah sanders to e

neil? >> neil: do we know the revelation of these allegations, that pruitt might have doctored some calendars. that that was not known as recently as yesterday by the president or anyone in his team. >> it remince to be seen if that was the tipping point. there was ocean after allegation after allegation of scott pruitt. the latest was the secret calendars. he was here yesterday at the white house. fast forward 24 hours, not only is out but the president accepted the resignation. president trump had stood by him. in the tweet, he said he was doing an jut standing job. very clearly there's something that was a tipping point and the calendars might have been just that. >> neil: thank you. blake berman. scott pruitt, the administrator of the epa, environmental protection agency, stepping down amid a flurry of controversy. olympic media, katie murray, what do you think? >> i'm not surprised, i don't think many people are. from the moment he came in, it's been dramatic, it's been constant the dr

stuart: neil, its yours. neil: stuart, thank you very much. see what is happening at corner of wall and broad. this dow reading could give you a different impression, because it is ignoring facebook. despite run-up in the dow, mark zuckerberg net worth has been tumbling. i don't want you to worry too much about him but on paper, more than seven teen billion dollars he is off. slid to the sixth richest man in planet. for a while the second richest man on the planet. that math is changing very quickly here. with facebook it was all about delayed expectations that were realized when very few thought they would see it. we should add as well, there is a camp, that says this is way overdone, whether at 20% fall-off, 23% fall-off, worst levels of the day. we're now about 17%. what is justifiable read on facebook? are all the problems, privacy issues. let's get the read with deirdre bolton. "dow jones newswires" chief editor glen hall. "making money" host charles payne and. is this beating today in facebook's stock in your eyes justified? >> yeah. i'm

neil? >> neil: thanks, garrett. what is interesting ahead of this briefing any second and they'll address some of these trade issues, the market was fascinating. down about 200 points and belief this is going from bad to worse and rebounding that maybe we can avoid it all. there was a comeback in technology issues for a separate reason. one day does not a trend make. but it's safe to say that it trades on the prospect of trade. the worse it looks for a deal, the worse it looks for stocks. katherine what do you expect will happen on this when everything is said and done? >> it's a negotiating tactic. it's a dangerous one, neil, without a doubt. but china has been cheating for decades. the u.s. has been incapable of curbing the theft of intellectual property, incapable of improving the trade imbalances with regard to unfair terms of trade. i think this is a negotiating tactic and can get some -- we have gotten some -- we've made some territory with the chinese since the threats have been made. i'm not going to say a f

stuart: neil cavuto standing by to take it over. neil, the queen is yours. [laughter] neil: i can imagine this is like a homecoming for you two. i know you were both there to cover when william the conqueror -- [laughter] 900 years ago. all right. thank you, guys, very, very much. we're told the president has, indeed, arrived at wind sor castle about a -- windsor castle about a half hour west of london. this is the 12th president that her majesty has met. every u.s. president, we're told, since harry truman with the exception of lyndon johnson. don't know why lyndon johnson couldn't find a meeting with her majesty, but he's the only one in recent memory who has not met with her. donald trump, of course, has been eager for this moment. this is the queen's favorite stomping grounds. she is often at buckingham palace for business during weekdays, but this is her favorite place and has been since she has been queen. president of the united states arriving there right now. he will be having tea with the queen. melania with him. let's see if we can pick up anythin

that nominee was neil gorsuch. and i have to say president trump hit a home run with justice gorsuch. i came to this floor nearly a dozen times in support of justice gorsuch's nomination because i knew neil gorsuch and i knew what kind of a judge he would be. i knew he would interpret the constitution according its original meaning, not according to the pet theories of liberal law professors or liberal activists. i knew he would give effect to the plain text of statutes rather than running around to find bits and pieces of legislative history to support his preferred view. and i knew he would hold the administration -- the administrative state to task and help check the unrestrained growth of the unelected, unaccountable fourth branch of government. justice gorsuch has done all that, and more. he has shown himself to be an independent thinker who faithfully applies the text of the constitution and the text of statutes. he's shown that is perfectly be comfortable every -- comfortable disagreeing with the administrat

like neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh is unquestionably qualified. like neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh has shown a commitment to the constitution into the principle that the judges are to interpret the law, not make it up. like neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh will be confirmed. i have confidence in my colleagues. he will be confirmed. he is a good man, i know him personally and have known him for a long time. he is a good man. he's a brilliant man and a man his nomination i am honored to support. i will do everything in my power to see judge kavanaugh confirmed to the supreme court. i cannot be more pleased than to help shepherd through one less nominee terminations highest court. i cannot be more pleased that nominee is judge brett kavanaugh. i know judge kavanaugh, i know what a great just as he will make. i know he will be fair. i know he will live in accordance with the law. i know he has courage and conviction. that he will do what justices have to do. that is, interpret the constitution. there are statutes in the next country that's about all we c

neil: john hannah, always a pleasure, and honor to talk to you. thank you. >> thank you, neil. neil: the president is set to speak in missouri. we'll take you there when he does. the dow in and out of session highs up 236 points. all the issues you would think would be affected like boeing and united technologies from a trade war benefiting on a belief it will not happen even though the president says tariffs are the greatest. they disagree but they're not disagreeing on buying. they're doing that in droves. more after this. ♪ antage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia.

. >> neil: thank you, leland. now let's go to deidra bolton on what happened to facebook. >> yes, what happened. the biggest loss in stock market history. their stock plunged 19%. just over 18 on the down side. so facebook missed quarterly revenue forecast. what was more concerning to investors was the outlook statement. so the social networking company said their revenue growth rate will slow from last year. part of the reason, facebook is going to be investing more to focus on privacy. they're going to be spending more money to accomplish their goals. the cfo making a specific statement saying they're going to invest billions per year inproving safety and security where they went through the fake news and election meddling came up. the company's previous worst single day performance, we have to go back to july 2012. that is when the stock fell more than 11.5%. that is after the company talked about mobile advertising and selling more mobile advertising. you saw how the stock got punished at that point. it's wort

neil: it seems like it.nk of england watchers are thinking it does look like a done deal and markets are giving an 85%, 90% probability to a rate hike. the u.k. economic data generally has been reasonably ok, quite solid. positiveys have been as far as the manufacturing sector. inflation is coming down. i think the bank of england is perhaps concerned that wage inflation might start pushing up. again, that is not totally clear cut. ,t does look like a rate hike mark carney is infamous for his inconsistency as far as forward guidance is concerned. i want to point out the at sixi trading today point 82 offshore. talk about the chinese exchange rate and what it means for you at vtb capital. neil: i think that is a very relevant question because a lot of people in the market do keep an eye on the dollar renminbi exchange rate when the renminbi weakens, some converters argue that is associated with risk off investment themes in the marketplace because we remember the previous devaluation that corrections stiff in

neil: without a doubt. angeles lakers have not been to the playoffs in a number of years, but adding a player like lebron james changes things clamatically. you look at the eland cavaliers teams he brought to the nba finals, they weren't that good. it was almosby a sheer force of will that lebron was able to make it to the finals, let alone win a championship a couple years back. i do think we will s an immediate turnaround in this lakers franchise and lebron james is obviously going to be a huge part of that. laura: just briefl how much nger can lebron remain at the top of his sport? neil: that is a great owestion. i knhe lakers are hoping it is at least three or four years. the length of hs contract. as not slowed down at all despite playing a lot of minutes and being over the age of 30. typically, you do see players of that age start to slow down but we have not seen that with lebron. specifically during the regular season. this year, he was not held back in terms of his minutes played. he played a lot o

those with long memories who remember back to win neil chrsuch is -- when neil gorsu was nominated, the senate had rules in place that allowed a 60 vote threshold for confirming a justice. the filibuster at threshold was doen -- done away with. that does not mean that a supreme court justice will be confirmed on a partyline vote because the president has a handful of republicans that he needs to worry about. --an collins, lisa murkowski the two most moderate republicans who support abortion. we think about jeff flake and who areer, two senators retiring up so he needs to win those folks over, and if you hope he ofneeds to the same three democrats to vote for his nominee that voted for neil gorsuch last time. joe manchin of west virginia, joe donnelly, and heidi heitkamp. >> the new york 11th, joe seat thatlosing that she tweeted that -- you tweeted that politicians face a rorschach test. what did you mean by that? that was a story with multifaceted story lines it, not the least of which mr. crowley was trying to position himself to be the next leader of the house democrats, and the ocas

>>reporter: last year when the president announced neil garcia's -- neil gorsuch and garner more than 40 million views. tonight's announcement is 6 pm pacific time. >> we will be carrying that live. >>> here is a quick look at each of the four finalist. judge hardeman is currently on the us court of appeals. he was the first in his family to attend college at the university of notre dame and help to pay for his lawful education by driving a taxi. he was the runner-up wench from nominated neil gorsuch in 2017. he might appeal to drop if the president is looking for someone from a blue-collar background. the only woman is amy coney barrett, she is also the youngest at 46. she is currently a judge on the seventh circuit up appeals. it chosen and confirm it will be the first time four women would serve together on the nine-member supreme court. she served as a law clerk for antonin scalia. her husband is an assistant us attorney. they are the parents of seven children, two of whom adopted from haiti. >>> moving on to brett kavanaugh, he is a judge on the federal appellate court. he attemp
