trade representative robert lighthizer and treasury secretary steve mnuchin spoke with chinese vice premier liu he about this phase one deal which we have been talking about. they said headway was made on certain issues and they are close to finalizing some sections of that agreement. that's a bullish sentiment coming from them. also in a note this morning, je jeffries said a trade deal could be reached. what are expectations for the markets once it's signed, sealed and delivered, that's the question. let's bring in the floor show. tim anderson at the new york stock exchange, chris robinson at the cme and phil flynn as well. tim, to you first. what do you think? >> wow. let's get at that. sorry. go ahead. cheryl: dealer's choice. tim, go ahead. what do you say? >> i think that we've gotten through the first two weeks of earnings season where expectations were very low and the market has held in. we've had some misses, we've had some beats, but really, the stocks that have sold off in response to earnings disappointment snapped back pretty quickly. cat a couple days ago and 3m snapping back

good morning to you talks of the deputy -- principal level those are the top negotiations robert lighthizer stevethose talks might last. after the deputy level talks wrapped up in washington, earlier this week the south china morning post said those talks essentially went nowhere suggested in a liu he could cut his trip short as of last night white house says theshl operating under same frame for talks as spokesperson responded saying quote we are not aware of a change in the vice premier's travel plan at this time, when asked yesterday about the reluckance of chinese to take on intellectual property theft, president trump suggested that they were really only two people who could tackle that issue. >> there are so many false reports only two people that matter in this one that is president xi and myself we get along very well. reporter: president also said does not think china is lowering its expectations ahead of the talks, china has said a deal could need to be win-win the president says it to be a bigger than that. >> can't be like 50-150 deal a 50-50 peel you are up there we are down here 50-

threatening sanctions against turkey, chief white house correspondent john roberts was in the briefing room when secretary stevenuchin of the treasury department addressed reporters only on turkey. did not answer questions about china, that could come up later in this hour, but john, what did the white house say about turkey and possible sanctions in the future? >> good afternoon to you, he gave us a little bit of a head nod on china, but this is the president putting turkey all morning. and the reason why that the secretary of the treasury came out so very publicly to do this is because they really wanted to say to president erdogan and his administration, we are watching you very closely. don't go too far here. what the president did was sign an executive order that gives treasury new powers to put in place hard sanctions against anybody associated with the turkish government, all related to their invasion of northern syria. don't forget the president in the last couple of days, i think it was yesterday, tweeted out that he has three potential options on turkey. one, he can send in thousands of u.s. troops to

so my question is you've got noncrazy people at the helm higher up, roberts at comcast, where everyone says is a decent person. steveof nbc universal. why has no one asked them what nethey think of this and why thy are continuing to employ thesehi guys? >> comcast, they have stood by him. they stood by and he lacked, stood byys nbc news. i was on your show when i broke the story of variety with them at lower allegations two years ago in 2017. nbc news at that time released a statement that says we knew nothing about lower. we found out about the allegations, a woman came to hr, now we know that woman was brooke nettles and we fired within 24 hours. if they've been saying the same thing, they've been singing the same to them for two years. it's hardye not to backtrack and say just kidding, what we set for two years actually isn't the truth. >> tucker: so how about oppenheimer is profiting from hawking products on the air and is selling screenplays to hollywood while he supposed to be running a news division? is the kind of anything he can do that's too much? >> that has obviously been a complaint people pointed out,

i think we lost her. , calling fromeve robert saville, missouri. steve identifies as evangelical.teve, good morning. caller: good morning, thank you very much for taking my call. i'm independent, ex marine. i think that our biggest problem is that we don't have a third-party. you know, last week we had biden going to a gay rally and trump, it looked like a nazi party rally. the whole republican party is a fraud. trump is a fraud. he has deserted the kurds. being a marine, we don't leave our guys in the field. don't never do that. them people are going to get allghtered before it is over with. it's all about money. how come he takes troops out of syria and puts them in saudi arabia, if it is such a big deal having troops over there? it's all a lie. all of these evangelicals who think he is god's chosen one? bringingk you will be in jesus christ? he may be bringing in the antichrist. said you identified as evangelical yourself. who are you supporting for 2020? don't support either one of them. the closest one i can think of is elizabeth warren. she's a little bit too far to the left

chinese vice premier, we'll expect to see chinese vice premier shake hands with robert lighthizer and treasury secretary steve mnuchin as they greet each other for the pleasantries. once it starts we'll see exactly how far things go. if some of the concessions removed in the last may deal the u.s. says were deleted, put back. he wants to see if progress is being made here, real progress. neil: that will be a real debate. edward, thank you very much. 29 of dow 30 component are up on the promising talk. it is talk but it is promising. so far as some sort of a deal can be cobbled together that might not be sweeping but it will be something. the multinationals that dominate the dow, 3m, boeing, i talked about some financial plays, jpmorgan chase and host of others. if they seize on this, a chance the business environment improved. many companies that dominate the dow, the ceos are out there with warnings how uncertain things are with trade. that is obviously getting them to hem their bet as little bit. if they have less reason to do so, or some closure over next few days, or promising signs over the next few days
