>> i agree with steve forbes. this is a big story, this is the opposite of colin kaepernick were football players were doing unpatriotic things. this is american companies stating that for the principle of free speech and freedom. i applaud the mba for doing that an apple for standing up to china. and steve forbes is right, when somebody's players and owners suck up to the chinese, i think it suggests that they do not stand for anything. i think this is a great thing, the hong kong protesters are great, great freedom fighters and i love the fact that you have a major sports league standing behind them and maybe at the cost of some of the prophets. >> haven't we seen this for quite some time. yes the mba is relevant and topical at the moment, but companies have been caving to china for a long time going back to google, they left china in 2010 and they removed a lot of the protests, they removed searches. i feel like is anything going to change, were talking about the story but it seems that profits are a priority w

think acquisitions or takeovers are part of the equation or strategy for tim cook. >> russell, steve forbes, on a scale of one to ten in terms of innovation, that's what it was under steve jobs, is this just a refining products that are sort of out there? does apple have something big on the horizon that would revolutionize high-tech again? >> that's an interesting question. over the next year or two, the answer will be no. what we will see a continuation of refinement. we will see apple next year possibly move into 5g which will be viewed initially as being somewhat behind some of the competition even though that's kind of consistent how apple handles new technology like that. the next big thing for apple that people will keep an eye on are the glasses. we keep seeing it come up here and there where we have, you know, this augmented reality tech that's going to live on your face. that's exciting for some people and kind of nervous and big brotherish to some. apple is going to carefully walk the line on how it approaches that. that will be apple's push into the new innovation. david: russel

melissa: steve forbes, forbes media chairman. i'm kind of speechless by that. the nerve.y invented the word hats spa. talking about lack of qualifications his son had no qualifications to be on the board of the natural gas company in ukraine, not to mention his dealings with the chinese. vice president biden back then brought his son on the trips. if he doesn't want his son to be involved in things he shouldn't have been involved in, why did he bring him along and why did he turn a blind eye to this? he is desperate and he will try anything and we're seeing it unfoal now. melissa: one of the worst things when your son is under the microscope. that is your weakness. you go out after the other person's children. it is just, not terribly smart. similar to when, i guess what makes this really poignant in my eyes is that when he went out on the trail and began his campaign, he sat down with robin roberts for the first interview to say i'm running. she said, what is your slogan? to make america moral again. i want to restore integrity to the country. this is the same guy overse

business jackie deangelis, fox news contributor liz peek, former republican presidential candidate steve forbeseat to see everybody this morning. >> god to be with you. maria: lots to talk about today, new worries over china, china trade hitting markets this market, china yesterday overnight cast some doubt on a long-term deal with president trump, that's according to bloomberg this morning, beijing reportedly said that it is worried about the president impulse i -- impulsive nature, china and the u.s. currently trying to work out phase one of a much larger trade agreement but now they have china actually saying, we are worried about something long-term, we are okay on phase 1, what do you think? >> this is no surprise, they they want to take a shot at president trump, they can't trust us, show us you can trust us by making concessions, the fact that they're pessimistic is optimistic, reverse thing, when the atmosphere is good, you can expect a setback but when it's down as it was before the phase 1, usually means they are trying to hammer something out. maria: liz, they never really indicated

steve forbes joins us in new york with his reaction to this phase one of a trade deal. boy, how does this line up for you, steve? better than you expected, about right, you want to know more, what is your take? >> obviously we have to learn more, very fact they're doing this in phases, trying to do it in pieces instead of trying to get a grand deal at once is probably a good thing. the markets certainly like it. the key thing can they get that thing finally signed? if so the quicker they can do it the better. the fact they are the, the president would go public the way he did, and detail in which he did about 40, 50 billion in agriculture, market access for financial companies, obviously they think they were further along than last may when they thought they had a deal and it blew up. if this thing blows up it will be extremely serious. the chinese, i don't think would have let this go as far as it did. it would be a massive humiliation for both sides. so something will get done. one of the things to look out for, they talked a lot about ag. i think you will see eventual

who better than steve forbes, chairman and editor in chief of forbes media.ree with my premise that it's elizabeth warren's nomination to lose? >> it is hers to lose and she could lose it. you may find somebody like bloomberg end up coming into the race or something like that. stuart: really? >> but in terms of the election, in terms of the election, i don't think most voters are going to want nurse rachet in the white house. stuart: that's harsh. >> no, it isn't. she reminds, that angry demeanor you hit in your editorial, people -- she reminds people of the teacher you didn't like, the one who was always scolding you, after you and as you say, that may appeal to the far left but voters don't want that. they want somebody who uplifts, looks to the future, is aspirational. that's what obama did. didn't live up to it. that's what trump did. and he's trying to live up to it despite the mainstream media. people want to look to the future. she is always angry and she would do what -- she would put us on the road to serfdom. stuart: hold on for a second. let me pla

no taxation without respirations, as steve forbes said. these people get their money and invest in new companies, give it away, do whatever they want with it. they will do a much better job with the money than uncle sam. quite the contrast, from the conversations we have about millenials being supportive of leftist economic policies and to your point, maybe they shouldn't be. >> to chris's point, it's long been understood in sociology circles that the difference between being poor and poverty is the mindset about time. if you are focused on this week or this month or even just this year, you are likely to be in a poverty situation for a very long time. the higher up you go, the income ladder, the higher the probability that people are not just thinking about my lifetime, but the next lifetime and maybe even the generation after that. and the real correlate between doing well is how far ahead you can look and take seriously. my biggest concern with the millenial cohort is there doesn't seem to be a lot of long-term looking. a lost us think

steve? >> reporter: eric, there is still some sporadic fighting going on between the two sides, syrian forces on one side, the turkish "forbes"s on the other -- forces on the other. you can see smoke rising from the sky in some up toes along the border, but for the most part the u.s. defense secretary says this ceasefire is for the most part holding. he says for the most part it is working. he also gave some news about the u.s. forces in syria, anywhere from 700-1,000 u.s. forces being withdrawn from syria will likely be moved to western iraq. it's there they will continue to monitor the islamic state. the defense secretary's not ruling out any cross-border raids against the islamic state. of course, one of the real concerns not just in the u.s., but around the world was the u.s. withdrawal could lead to a resurgence of the islamic state. the defense secretary trying to put some of those concerns at rest. in the mean time, you mentioned the ceasefire scheduled to expire on tuesday, that's unless all kurdish fighters get out of a huge buffer zone, 275 miles long along that syrian border. if that doesn't happen, the turkish pr
