1800flowers coming in, new seasonal hiring, wait till you see how many people they are hiring. The ceo of equinox. Director of center for chinese strategy michael here on hong kong and the latest, fox news senior judicial analyst judge Andrew Napolitano on antiprobe into google and napolitano, dont miss a moment of it, weve got the futures right now showing pretty good rally, things accelerated moments ago when we got the news that extradition bill is now going to be completely withdrawn, your reaction, nancy . One more tension off the table that they are ringing hands around just a dropoff in new export orders and new orders about 20 , so if we can start to see some resolution and some stability in china and with the trade deal i think we have the opportunity to rally pretty heavy in yearend. Maria you know, this bill andy basically put in question the autonomy of hong kong, thats where the protesters were out in force and if you looked at really amakeup of the protestors, there were a lot of young people worried about their future that china was going to be too authoritarian on them. Reminds me yaoundes where it is a signal from beijing that they want to pull things back and calm things down in the region of the country, thats real positive. I feel very good for the people at hong kong. I think they have 5 demands in total, i think they would like to see the situation calm down rather than have good tense. Maria yeah. If we saw violence there, chinese leadership would go in and create violence to to stop protestors, i think it would have been gone in a very different way, jackie. I dont think people were expecting actually to see a compromise like this, i think unfortunately violence was the expectation because the tension was getting ratchet up and when it comes to markets and china trade, we have so many things to look, brexit, only concern that i have is protestors will say we got an inch, now lets try to take a mile. Maria we will see where that goes. The agreement to have to have autonomy for hong kong expires for 50 years, goes back to china in 2047, you mention china trade, thats another issue, the president weighed between u. S. And china yesterday, he said this on twitter, we are doing very well on negotiations with china while i am sure they would love to be dealing with a new administration so they can continue their practice of ripoff usa, 600 billion a years, 16 months plus is a long time to be hammering jobs on long shot, think what happens to china when i win, deal will get much tougher and china supply chain will crumble and businesses, jobs and money will be gone. U. S. Senator steve and david perdue met in china, they did meet with Vice President lou hi yesterday where he urged to Deepen Mutual understanding in the trade fight, where do you see this fight going now in terms of markets perception, nancy . Listen, that this is what holding back the markets, maria, the numbers reinforces that and so did the university of Michigan Confidence numbers, the fed is kind of on the sideline, i think we need to see some sort of Movement Forward or we we need to see companies perform, we saw gdp corporate profits were revised, things are not as dire as everyone many would like us to think, but i do think we are at a kind of turning point. We need to see some movement before the market will take off. Well, we will see, its the china pushback, right, andy, the president said he had a deal in place back in april, i believe, and they wouldnt agree to not steal intellectual property, can the president do a deal without those bigticket items being agreed upon . I think the problem for the president in his negotiations is that that he has problems, socialisttypes that are holding back, i think what he would like to do is reach a deal, i think the big threat to china, the president brings it up at end of remarks, the supply chain will move out of china. When they move on, they are are gone. This is a real threat to them. Maria hes reminding the chinese of that in the tweet, basically talking to xi jinping in that tweet. Having said that, you know, looking at futures yesterday morning and seeing imposition of the new round of tariffs over the weekend, i think there was part of the market that thought maybe he will step back from that, maybe he will suspend them or delay them a little bit and when he didnt the market also realized he is playing hardball here in terms of his overall objective and thats been the storm thats been difficult to weather at least in august. Maria yeah, its true, and i think this hong kong situation takes a little more pressure off xi gyp jinping was adding pressure, probably a good thing for the administration to see people on the streets. Absolutely, one of the problems with this is that china the china may say, okay, weve done enough and the people that were out in the streets and with protesting they back off and this may be china taking one step back but hope to go take two steps forward once things calm down and we will see how it goes, it was good for the administration that there was this problem in hong kong because it puts more pressure on the chinese. Maria hong kongers were reaching out to america saying please stand with us. Yes. Holding the american flag, we do not have a yet date for the chinese premier, xi jinping to meet in september, we will see where that goes, the uncertainty remaining for markets, then theres Hurricane Dorian, of course, this is down to category 2 now, has been weakening but people in southeast u. S. Coast making final preparations for Hurricane Dorian over 2 million residents along the coast in florida, georgia, north and South Carolina have been warned to evacuate, jillian mele live in island this morning, shes in georgia with the very latest, jillian. Maria, thats right, weve seen a couple of rain bands going through here since weve been out here the last few hours, one pretty significant right now, light rain, no significant wind picking up just yet, we are expecting that to change throughout the day, theres mandatory Evacuation Order among many of the counties along the coast even some of the closer interior counties and then we are also dealing dealina curfew overnight and seems that people are adhere to go that, you can see behind me businesses are boarded up, shut down on island, one of the things that people worry about is significant storm surge, right now 150 yards away from water, so that is something that everybody residents and elected officials are going to keeping close eye on, listen to this. We realized that there was a lot of lessons learned, it really devastated us because we werent prepared for devastation upon us. One thing that we are doing this year that we havent done for matthew and irma, we hope to get cameras out to the field, drones in the air, document where the disaster is actually happening. Jillian okay, so that was officials talking about the things that they learned after Hurricane Matthew struck the area about 3 years ago, there was so much significant damage, power outages, significant flooding and storm surge and you had people without power, that is something that everybody is prepared for right now and when you hear people talk, you hear people compare this to matthew just because of the track, so officials have learned a lot and they feel confident that they are ready for this, maria.

Maria lauren, thank you very much, important story about walmart, andy, your thoughts on this, what walmart is doing here . Walmart, if this is what feels its interest interest of consumers, if this is what will bring business into walmart, drive sales, something they need to do and they are willing to take the backlash from it, thats what capitalism is about, its their call, they have every right to do it. Maria a lot of people were skeptical and criticized walmart for, whatever, getting political, et cetera, when it happens in a walmart, they can do what they want. Yeah, brings it home. I was running cke, if we had shootings in the restaurant i would have changed the way we look as management, the way we look at gun laws, so i can see why they would have done it. I dont know its going to help their business or not but its their call. Maria i want to talk about ism, the ism was real important in terms of moving markets, nancy, we know thats the weak spot in the economy right now, we try to preview indexes every month when they come out, what was your read on the ism yesterday . Yeah, it was disappointing but not unprecedented, this is the third time weve gone below expansionary which is the mark in this cycle, interesting fact, the milwaukee pmi with producers in the midwest, bluecollar employment is at 57, white collar at 41. 1, blue collar tends to be leading indicater, thats super encouraging if youre looking for information about where we are going, i mean, manufacturing, bluecollar workers, i dont think its as dire as the ism indicates.

Maria welcome back, pretty good rally at the opening of trading, dow industrials to be up 195 points; we had weak manufacturing data yesterday which dragged on major averages yesterday according to ism report, u. S. Factory sector contracted for the first time in 3 years, new oped, manufacturers have added 55,000 jobs this year compared to 162,000 during the same period last year, while manufacturing makes up small share of u. S. Economy it can be canary since its sensitive to business demand, mark, good to have you on the program this morning, thanks for being here. My pleasure. Maria your reaction to what we saw yesterday in ism and lets talk about the importance of manufacturing in the broad economic landscape in the u. S. And the world. Sure, i think you hit on it and your guest also said it its important, its being impacted about trade uncertainty as you talked about earlier, while a canary in the coal mine, consumer is really driving the u. S. Has been historical and they are spending more than they have before, they are still spending quite well. Maria youre not word about ism report yesterday . Not yet, you know, as long as the u. S. Consumer continues to have decent confidence in their buying power and not chose to, you know, its all about the sentiment in psychology wanting to buy big durable goods, for example. Maria nancy made the point that the consumer is not just big part of u. S. Growth but the global story. 17 of global gdp. Hey, mark, how did you feel about the market up at the same time the ism came out and was contractionary, we saw the market get upgraded 50. 3 for final reading, does that mean anything to you . A little bit. These numbers move around so much, month to month that we start to see significant trends we start to get really concerned, i like to sort of separate the Financial Markets from the real economy and try and focus on the numbers, what is the real economy doing today. [laughter] jackie deangelis, back to comments on consumer, twothirds of Economic Activity is the consumer but the consumer has been so strong and im wondering how you feel about tariffs going into affect over the weekend and raising from 10 to 15 , we have another round coming in december, is this the Tipping Point where the consumer starts to really feel frit china and then we see potential, you know, impact there . Yeah, i mean, the more tariffs you put on, the more broadly you spread the more difficult it becomes for the consumer not to ultimately feel them in the form of higher prices, its ultimately a tax on that twothirds of the u. S. Economy in higher prices and that leads into Inflationary Pressure and other things, you know, ultimately thats going to be unavoidable, just really becomes a question of how much and how long the tariffs will have to be for it to really pass through for the consume near a meaningful way. Maria we have andy puzder, ceo of cke, squeeze on the consumer of perhaps higher prices . I think higher prices have impact on consumers, right now Consumer Spending is incredibly strong, its stronger than its been in decades, Second Quarter was the best quarter since 2014 but it was the second best quarter since 2003, so we are seeing real consumer, i worry more about the of the negative publicity, about trade and the other issues, maybe scaring consumers off, causing them to be more conservative than they would otherwise be, i think that may be the intent of some of the publicity to get consumers to back off, those who are rooting for a recession. I do worry about that, but prices obviously have a big impact. Maria what about the fed, how does all that fit in here because, mark, Central Banks are stimulating across the world, the European Central bank is in favor of stimulus package for rate cut and this comes after boston fed says he doesnt think rate cut isnt needed at the moment. Your reaction and the impact that it could have on markets . I dont think i see the betting market whether or not the fed will rate raise rates this month 100 , and youre
