Whistleblower. Hes a fake. Everybody knows who the whistleblower is. The whistleblower is a political operative. These gentlemen know it. A political operative. If they would have compared what the whistleblower said, if they would have compared it to what i said in two conversations really, to what i said in the conversation, with the president who i think is a terrific person, of ukraine, he would have said well wait a minute, the whistleblower said this, and that wasnt the conversation because we have the conversation. Also shifty schiff, dishonest, corrupt politician, when he imitated or tried to copy my conversation, he didnt copy it. He made up a conversation, went before congress and made up a phony conversation, just like he does every time he talks. Hes a phony. Hes very dishonest, very corrupt politician. So instead of and look, the big upset, as you folks know, was when i released the transcript, because i dont like doing that because you have to keep this very very classified and confidential when you are speaking to heads of state, but i released it because schiff and the whistleblower made up a phony i tell you what. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. The press ought to be ashamed. They ought to end the witch hunt right now. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. I didnt say that. Hes already done the right thing because the president , the president , if you look, of ukraine and his spokesman, the foreign minister, they put out, there was no pressure whatsoever, none whatsoever. You knew that. You knew that very well, but youre fake news. You should be ashamed of yourselves. [inaudible]. Investigate the bidens mr. President . The biden is a whole different story, when you talk corruption, a guys father becomes Vice President and all of a sudden hes millions and millions of dollars. This guy got nothing, got thrown out of the navy, the press doesnt want to report it because the process is dishonest. I think it is a disgrace. I think the whole thing with biden is a disgrace. Should apple be exempt from chinas tariffs . We are looking at that. The problem is you have samsung, a great company. It is a competitor of apple. But it is not fair because we had a trade deal with south korea, a great deal with south korea, but we have to treat apple on a somewhat similar basis as we treat samsung. Now, with all of that being said, were doing very nicely with china, but i like it the way it is now because were taking in billions and billions of dollars, and were giving some of that money to farmers and others, but we are looking at apple. What i wanted apple i said some day were going to see apple building plants in our country, not in china. Thats whats happening. It is all happening. It is the american dream. Our country has never done better. Its doing better than its ever done. Unemployment at the lowest level. Numbers just came out today. Africanamericans, hispanic americans, asian americans, the lowest they have ever had in the history of our country. Were very happy. [inaudible]. So i can tell you this, china would much rather make a trade deal than i would. [inaudible]. I havent wanted to do it yet why havent you wanted to do it . Because i dont think they are stepping up to the level that i want. [inaudible]. Another round of tariffs could be bad for business and bad for the United States. No, heres what i say, what do you know . I put in tariffs. Everybody said oh, thats going to be bad for the economy. Well, as you just heard from tim cook, we have the strongest economy by far in the world, and were taking in billions and billions of dollars. So we will see what happens. We are dealing with china. I have a great relationship with president xi. They are a great country, but were a greater country than china. If i didnt win, right now china would be a bigger economy than the United States. Because i won, [inaudible] chinas lost probably 25 trillion dollars. Were much bigger than china right now. Were going to keep it that way. Thank you all. [inaudible]. David it is a big day for the president of course because of whats happening in washington, but also what is happening in austin, texas. That is where he is with apple ceo tim cook. Hes in austin, texas, of course taking some questions, mostly about the impeachment, but talking about china as well. Hes at a new apple manufacturing plant. As democrats keep their sights on impeachment, the president keeping his focus on jobs and the economy in his tour, but new 1 billion dollars apple manufacturing plant in austin, texas. Apple saying the plant could add 15,000 new jobs to the state as a whole. President trump making his seventh visit to texas so far this year, as he touts the Economic Growth in a state thats vital to republicans in 2020. Hi everybody. Im david asman. Welcome to bulls bears. Susan lee is at the new apple facility there in texas. Susan . Yeah, im just outside where President Trump and tim cook, apple ceo were just speaking to the press. I would also like to highlight that when speaking to tim cook, during their earnings a few weeks ago, tim cook also highlighting his optimism in the u. S. Economy as well, as you just heard from President Trump. Now, its very interesting to talk about the tariffs that will be imposed on apple iphones and ipads on december 15th, if u. S. China trade talks dont go well enough to repeal those tariffs. As you heard, President Trump says that he will review the tariffs, and he says that apple has to be treated the same as samsung, which is still the Worlds Largest smart phone seller even though they dont sell and make as much per phone as apple does, but apple is often reinvesting back into the u. S. Economy as well, as you mentioned opening and breaking ground that 1 billion dollars austin campus this morning and also by the way this facility which will compile the mac pro which is a high end pc. They are going to invest 200 Million Dollars to get that facility up and running. That means hundreds of jobs as well, 15,000 as you mentioned in austin. 350 billion dollars in investments from apple over the next ten years or so, back into the u. S. Economy and creating what they say over 111,000 jobs. And people want to talk about, yes, tim cooks relationship with President Trump since they just seem so i guess different and at odds on different issues, but at the end, they do have a lot of similarities and a lot of things to talk about. That includes china of course and business because both say they are capitalists at heart, including tim cook who says that hes bipartisan and has never invested in a super pac. David . David could argue the two most powerful men in the world together. They do have a lot in common. Lets bring in the panel, scott martin, kristina partsinevelos, carol ross and liz peek. Apple is keeping their mac pro production in america. The company says the new facility will initially employ 5,000, it has the capacity to add 15,000 new jobs. They also say they will be investing again 350 billion dollars. Thats a huge number over the next decade in the u. S. The president touting the strength of all this. The question, liz, is should the president be getting more credit for all of this . Absolutely. I mean it is the president s progrowth policies and in particular the tax bill that have really encouraged apple to bring home money. Remember, they were the poster child for having accumulated over 300 billion dollars overseas and bringing back a great deal of it because of provisions that the tax bill included. So in doing that, and explaining why it was so good for American Workers and the american economy, apple made a pledge that they would indeed build new plants, invest 30 billion dollars in the u. S. This is a real feather in President Trumps cap. It is also by the way extremely smart as per susan lees comments, for tim cook to talk to President Trump. If he had the input of more of the Business Community, maybe he would be guided to change his policies in terms of tariffs and so forth and i think tim cooks done a good job of doing that and representing apples interests. Liz, i feel like you missed a big part, the fact that the u. S. Administration gave ten exempted 10 out of the 15 tariff requests that the company put forth. We know that tim apple i mean tim cook has been lobbying for quite some time with the president. They had lunch or dinner in august. Youre seeing this almost bromance form between the two, but tim cook is doing a great job not only being a ceo but being a lobbyist for his own company so he doesnt have to face the tariffs that so many other corporations in america are facing right now, contributing to the decrease in ceo sentiment. Yes, it is a win for the president , by bringing these jobs back, but keep in mind, the apple iphones are still going to be made overseas. Theres a huge part of thats a huge part of their bread and butter. The positive thing, though, is this is about advanced manufacturing. Thats a very very positive sign when talking about building the mac book pro and mac book. Tim apple is the nickname i think they have between the two of them. Thats a totally cool thing. [laughter] trump needs this, guys. We were up in wisconsin just a couple weeks ago for a shoot and talking about the local economy there and how folks expect, you know, that big factory to be built. Now, it is in some question. Obviously its been delayed and it is something thats hopefully coming in 2020 for trumps take because he needs another win like this as we go in through, you know certainly yes employment numbers are very good. Gdp maybe not so much and obviously some distraction in d. C. , so the fact that hes able to get as you guys both pointed out reasons for apple to make this investment in the United States whether its china trade or as liz pointed out some of the money they had offshore at one point before the Corporate Tax cut, this is a big win for trump on that side because he needs a victory here. So happy to see a politician who is talking about capitalism and growth instead of taking away our money. This is what we should be hearing from every candidate who is running for president and fortunately, were hearing it out of our current president. I would say that its also a win for texas. You noticed that they didnt open the plant in illinois thats not friendly to business. It goes to show you that when you are a friend to business, it ends up working out well for david lets look at it from the business side. Mac pro is a bigticket item now, expensive product, does advanced computations. It is exactly what china needs right now. One of their biggest markets for the mac pro is china. If he gets if tim cook based on the relationship gets a waiver for the mac pro in china, thats going to mean billions of dollars potentially for apple. Yeah, of course, as kristina said, hes been advocating very successfully for apple. My point is really that Business Community in america has sort of begun to shun President Trump. Why would they do that . What we know about this president , he wants to work with people. He started out working with labor, working with business. Tim cook is someone whos kind of smart enough to get that, to get the fact that it is going to work not only for apple but also for the United States, but i think this is a terrific achieveme achievement, if you will, and it is at the heart of trumps message, pro manufacturing, pro tech, lets do it here instead of china.

Now it heads to the president s desk. We will be speaking with congressman tom reed a moment from now. Hes just running from the vote. He will give us the details with what happens now, whether the president will sign this bill, coming up. Meanwhile fireworks in todays impeachment hearings during testimony from u. S. Ambassador to the eu Gordon Sondland. Edward lawrence has the latest live from inside the beltway. Hi, edward. Hi, david. You just heard the president say it is a witch hunt, it is over. Now both republicans and democrats say that ambassador to the eu Gordon Sondland proved their points. Democrats say he confirmed the quid pro quo. Republicans say he confirmed specifically there was no quid pro quo. So this is what sondland testified to when he called the president to try and clear up the confusion about what the president wanted. Listen. I believe i just asked him an openended question, mr. Chairman. What do you want from ukraine . I keep hearing all these different ideas and theories and this and that, what do you want . He just said i want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Sondland says that he assumed at the meeting at the white house was predicated on the ukrainian president announcing a corruption investigation into the Company Connected to hunter biden. Still the chairman of the Intelligence Committee says that he is listening to an Impeachable Offense committed by the president , even though ukraine received the military aid and they got the visit, the trip to the white house. Listen. Now, they also seem to say that well, they got the money. The money may have been conditioned, but they got the money. Yes, they got caught. They got caught. And republicans not backing down saying adam schiff is misrepresenting the facts. Is that your testimony today, ambassador sondland . That you have evidence that donald trump tied the investigation to aid. I dont think you are saying that. I said repeatedly congressman i was presuming. And the answers heard today have been looked through the public lens. Both sides seeing what they wanted to hear. Back to you guys. David thank you very much. Here now is former federal prosecutor doug burns. Today adam schiff essentially is hanging his impeachment on the testimony of ambassador sondland, but as we saw from that report, there are a lot of conflicts with his testimony. It is like the old joke in conference rooms, were we watching the same hearing today . Okay . And joking aside, you know, testimony is in the eye of the beholder. If i understood it correctly, it is actually pretty interesting. You are seeing a series of pivots which they have to make, a pivot, a pivot. Many legal experts say wait a minute, if you were explaining this to a jury, the president was threatening to withhold money in terms of press conference, except for one problem, they got the money and didnt have to do a press conference. David there was no quid pro o quo. It is not more complicated than that. Now here comes the pivot they say the only reason they released the money is because whistleblower came forward and congress started looking at it. But the volley back seriously was President Trump on a call in august was quoted by the witness as saying tell him its going to be good news. That was very powerful and sets up the argument that the president already knew for a while that he was going to i thought that was interesting. It is carol roth. Im watching the reactions on twitter. Anyone who has been antitrump says oh my goodness, hes toast. And anyone who has been pro trump say wow this is an absolute nothing burger. Where do you think this all goes . How does it shake out from here . It is kind of a mixed bag from here. As i understand it correctly, you have to put the point on this pencil which is that its pretty clear that there wasnt any kind of the point is that there wasnt with respect to the aid, but it appears that there might have been with respect to the meeting. But then comes the next volley back well they met at the u. N. So dont tell me he didnt get a meeting. Maybe im a little biased myself but my straight legal analysis is that no big earth moved today but they just dont have this case in my view legally. It is scott martin. Staying on the tennis kind of theme, im a tennis player. I thought we saw a passing shoot here, maybe pass court one here. With respect to credibility questions of the ambassador, in the sense of one thing he talked about being not an avid note taker. Having to rely on others which he does which has been a crux point in this whole investigation, he said she said, how does that affect things today with respect to credibility question . You are right. He dumped that in the bottom of the net; right . Yeah. Right into the bottom of the net. Didnt even go over the net. You are right, there were legitimate questions about look, he took no notes, etc. Made this wild complaint about that material wasnt provided to you and all of that. The reality is i found it interesting too because i said last week, isnt it convenient that when a witness changes their testimony to something that goes antiPresident Trump all of a sudden oh no the second version is definitely the truth. It doesnt work that way in a trial. Either the first ones true or the second ones true. In fairness, a lot of times people adjust their testimony in the later one proves to be true, but again when you mix the politics with the testimony, it really becomes kind of comical honestly. David doug we have to leave it at that. So sorry. We had to cut it short. Headlines out of the uaw. Developing details on this, coming next. Thousands of women wit
