Susan li is with the president in texas. Edward lawrence is in washington. Kristina partsinevelos is in the newsroom. Were going to kick it off with, susan. Go ahead. Because obviously there is a lot of people here to greet the u. S. President. They brought out their megaphones as well. We have alex jones of info wars here. As you see behind me, a lot of protrump supporters, also antitrump demonstrators as well. We know u. S. President , President Trump inside the facilities along with apple ceo tim cook. They arrived there 20 minutes ago. This is a facility where they are compiling the mac pro, a very expensive highend pc the cheese grader as it is called. This is protecting american jobs as well. The pool inside with the President Trump and tim cook, they will first go to three spots where cook will explain what exactly is happening inside to President Trump. Then move on to two other spots within the facilities as well. This is all part of the campaign for apple to show President Trump that yes, they are indeed keeping jobs in america. Also investing in america as well. We know that they have just Broken Ground on one billion dollar austin campus. That was announced this morning. This will create 15,000 jobs in the future, the largest employer in the city of austin. Theyre also, by the way, trying to sell a lot more in this country as well. Melissa. Melissa susan a lot of people should have a Good Relationship with President Trump because their business depends on it, and they still dont. Look at tim cook, this is somebody wouldnt naturally be i think aligned with the president. But something is making their relationship work. What is that in your opinion . I would say probably business. As you know, they are probably talking about u. S. China trade. Right now since we know that apple gets 20 of their sales from china. They compile a lot of it phones, ipads. Their goods in china. Also subject to tariffs on december 15th. Ipads, iphones going up 15 possibly if u. S. China trade talks do not real back the tariffs. Airpods since september as well. That hasnt had impact on wearable sales. Some would say tim cook, reached out to the president. He reached out across the aisle. He said he is apolitical. They dont donate to any superpacs. They are capitalists. They care about business. Melissa no, it is so smart. A lot of ceos think it is in the best interest with the public to take smacks at the president. Clearly tim cook thinks otherwise. Susan, thank you so much. Connell . Connell well talk a little more with our friend jonathan hoenig, Founding Member of capitalist pig hedge fund. Fox news contributor. What is perspective on relationship the apple ceo has put together with the president . Budding romans, connell. The president prided himself not being a politician. Almost as if tim cook is doing his best impression of a politician, very successfully. He is lobbying to be exempt, get more exemptions from new tariffs enacted by the president. So he is putting on a pretty good show to demonstrate the president , apple is bringing back assembly, despite the fact we wont see the iphone made in austin. Connell right. This is small niche product, the mac pro, they retail for 6 grand. Tim cook is doing politicianss job getting photoop. Connell do you think it is, a show as you say it . Or making key products top products in the u. S. Would be different, this is just for show . Is that what youre saying . I wouldnt want to debase any Company Investing in america, connell, but big picture when it comes to apples bottom line this facility will produce a very small percentage of their total revenue and a very small percentage of their total product line. But apple knows, just contract, for example, jeff bezos relationship with the president as against tim cook. Jeff bezos i guess playing hardball. He has felt the president s ire. Tim cook is buttering up to the president. He is getting a lot of exemptions that the company needs. Hitting a potential road black. Phase one of the u. S. China trade deal may not be completed this year according to a new report. Edward lawrence in washington with the latest. Reporter this afternoon, Deputy White House press second judd deere told me negotiations are continuing and progress has been made on the text of the phase one agreement. Wilbur ross says this is finetuning of the trade deal. The two trade teams are talking by phone. President donald trump taking a harder stance. Just a day ago if he said they dont have phase one deal on paper they will raise tariffs. Today he revisited the tough talk. Listen. We continue to talk to china. China wants to make a deal. The question is, do i want to make a deal . I like what is happening right now. Were taking in billions and billions of dollars. Reporter the Sticking Point remains tariffs. Chinese want tariffs rolled back simultaneously as phases are completed. Trade sources tell us the u. S. Offered to roll back some of the tariffs but keep majority in place until china reaches certain milestones and follows through with the trade deal. As you said reuters is quoting trade experts, people close to the white house, saying a phase one deal on paper may slide to next year. What i can tell you, both sides are still talking. We have not heard a response from the chinese to the president s tougher talk about tariffs and that trade deal. Melissa . Melissa edward, thank you. Connell retail tragedy averted when you look at numbers from target and lowes. The stock prices hitting new highs earlier today. Strong Third Quarter results from both of those companies. Look at target. Jackie dee dee, up 14 . Pretty good day indown day for the market. Reporter it was remarkable for that stock. Target saw a double beat, a beat on earnings and beat on revenues. Revenues was 17 cents ahead of street estimates. The company also raised 2019 profit guidance. Digital sales up 31 . Remember this is really important for a company like target, it is competing with the likes of amazon, retailers like walmart. It is showing that it is keeping pays. Lowes was remarkable we saw a drop with home depot yesterday. Earnings beat. Revenues a little light. But it also raised the 2019 earnings guidance. That was a plus for the market. Only 4 pop up there. Well hear a lot more from retailers this week. Wednesday we hear from, we hear from l brands. Thursday macys. Nordstrom. Friday from foot locker. Watch for all the names, guys. Connell certainly different than home depot. Jackie thanks. Melissa. Melissa will the retail rebound last . Jonathan hoenig is with us. Every day i feel we get a different read on retailers. Seems like specific to the individual companies . I think that is exactly right, melissa. There is great winnowing of retailers. Names like Urban Outfitters which god killed today or kohls. Those struggled with names like walmart have succeeded because they have taken on amazon. The consumer is extraordinarily strong. That has to do with the record stock market. Call it the wealth effect, the more we have, more we spend. Nothing, save a real drop in the stock market melissa will likely change the trend for consumers. Melissa always brilliant, jonathan, thank you. Connell lets get to the push to protect rider safety, what uber will tell you as they get plans to launch a new feature to record audio during their ride. Kristina partsinevelos is live with this story. Tell us about it. Uber told me specifically yes theyre confirming a pilot program. They will launch in mexico, brazil in december. They said it is not imminent in the United States just yet. They confirmed it. It was for protection issues. There has been a lot of assault cases, a lot of misconduct, harrassment. There are no public numbers. People have been complaining, saying uber is not acting fast enough. I asked streets of new york, what they thought about the privacy . Listen in. Recording conversations do you think it is infringement of privacy . No i do not think it is an infringement of privacy. I think it would be keep me safer as a woman. Reporter privacy issue or not . I dont think so. It could protect a lot of people. Seeing what goes on the car ride. Reporter two positive voices right there i struggled find anybody against this idea. The issue though that uber will have launching a i cross the country, states have different rules when it comes to consenting recording conversations. For example, 11 states require both parties to consent whereas other states, if i dont complain, say, hey, dont record me, that is deemed consent. Uber will have to overcome this. Why theyre not moving ahead with the United States just yet. Connell some legal issues certainly to look at. Reporter privacy. Connell privacy versus safety. On a different note, kristina, moments ago, story breaking from uaw filing charges against president gary jones, righthand man vance pierce. This is big story potentially. What are you hearing about that . Reporter this is huge story. The uaw is filing charges. They will set to vote to remove both men you mentioned, gary jones and pierson. The reason theyre doing this, filing or accusing them of directly false, misleading, inaccurate expense records. Gary jones wasnt arrested but pierson was arrested. He was charged for wire fraud, money laundering, embezzlement of funds. He is being accused joining forces with gary jones, a few other people in the union, to steal member fees and use to it buy lavish products like villas, liquor, golf, et cetera. It is a 15 day process. They will vote on to remove them. Connell well watch that. Good stuff, kristina on both stories.

Ambassador to the european union, and a key witness in the impeachment inquiry, testifying in the fourth day of public hearings. Blake burman is live at the white house. Blake. Reporter Gordon Sondland testimony contained section two called quid pro quo. European ambassador to the european union, in order for the newlyelected ukrainian president to come to the white house to have a meeting with President Trump ukraine had to commit publicly to investigations into it 2016 election and into burisma. A company which hunter biden once sate on the board. You have testified that, that the white house meeting president zelensky desperately wanted that was important to president zelensky, was it not . Absolutely. You. You testified that meeting was conditioned a quid pro quo for what the president wanted these two investigations, isnt that right . Correct. That everybody knew it . Correct. Reporter sondland also testify while it was quote belief, Security Assistance for ukraine was being delayed until the announcement was made, no one told him directly that was the case. Republicans also point to a september phone call sondland had with President Trump in which sondland asked the president what he wants from ukraine . Upon leaving the white house for texas earlier today, President Trump highlighted, that portion of sondlands testimony. So heres my answer. I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Tell zelensky to do the right thing. Then he says, this is the final word from the president of the United States. I want nothing. Reporter the Vice President s office today also tried to distance itself from sondland saying in a statement, in part, quote, the Vice President never had a conversation with sondland about investigating the bidens, burisma, conditional release of Financial Aid to ukraine based upon potential investigations. The sondland testimony just wrapped up. Not done for the day, by the way. Two more witnesses up on the hill later this hour as well. Back to you. Melissa blake, thank you. Connell here with analysis, judge Andrew Napolitano. Fox senior judicial analyst. Host of liberty file on fox nation. This, judge, was billed by many observers being the biggest day in the impeachment inquiry. Witnesses may end up siding whether the president is being impeached by the house of representatives. For someone who didnt see all the testimony, blake said it went on hours and hours, in your analysis what is the beg picture takeaway from Gordon Sondland . The big picture takeaway, Vice President of the United States, mike pence, secretary of state mike pompeo were aware of holdup in aid, refusal to grant an inperson meeting until the announcement of a existence of a coming investigation of the bidens was made. So, the president of the United States was not concerned with the occurrence of the investigation. Just announcement of it. Connell right. Secretary of state, Vice President denies they knew about it, denies they were involved but when an allegation of this magnitude is made under oath, there is going to be pressure on them to make their denials under oath. The failure or refusal to do that will be interpreted by democrats on the committee as an admission. This is the strongest testimony, connell so far against the president. Connell youre saying there is potential of obstruction being involved, is that what youre getting at or implying . He started his testimony, members of the committee im here based on my memory. I dont have my notes or my phone records because the state department wont let me have access to them. Connell the state Department Said he would have had access, could have had access. Well see in the coming days how that plays out. I have to ask you about is the republican response which blake burman referenced. Saw congressman jim jordan say it this afternoon, im quoting him, there is no direct evidence whatsoever in reference to the fact that ambassador sondland said he didnt speak directly to President Trump about holdup of aid. How important is that . Direct evidence would have to come from rudy giuliani. We know why he has thrown the subpoena out that they sent to him because he doesnt want to be in a position forced to testify what his client told him because there is no Attorney Client privilege in an impeachment hearing. So that is where the direct evidence would come. Ambassador sondlands argument is, with all this evidence, it was plain to infer this could only have come from the president. The Vice President didnt hold it up. John bolton didnt hold it up. Secretary of state didnt hold it up. There is only one other person that could held up the aid. That was the president of the United States. Until the whistleblower filed his complaint. The president denied there was quid proquote. Guess what happened late. Connell two days after the complaint or committee started that irinvestigation, right . Okay. Judge thank you. Well keep covering it. Judge na
