3:05 pm
the stock is up now. we have t some breaking right now. president trump about to have back to the white house after wrapping up his two or a fema just moments ago. and all systems go for the big g7 summit where the president will be visiting our very friendly neighbors to the north. canada infuriated by the white house is tariff on steel. the white house economic advisor have a lot to say about this earlier concerning bilateral meetings with justin trumbo of canada. he sounded off on the trade issue. let me get to blake burman you were there in the room. we were tracking this and the like white house. it has to be a very tension field --dash tension filled meetg. they areery good neighbors an friends. and they were kind of trying to play down the possible tensions.
3:06 pm
the president is set to meet with manual macron. it is in cana. the president will meet with the host nation leader. everybody knows what the main topic here is during the g7 is going to be. so me across the world who follow this kind of stuff. let larry kudlow. he is trying tn po dowy any sort of tension. the tension is not going to be in any sort of unease walking into this meeting. you know how the treasury secretary was received at the g7 finance ministers meeting of the has already taken place but, kudlow also who describes us as a family quarrel to his plane out. also said h look, when you see the trade situation that's taking place a across the country right now and all across the world point the finger elsewhere.
3:07 pm
>> i need to find out. whether it is texas or florida or puerto rico. you going to louisiana and alabama. and places that have not been hit like this you can be very proud of yourselves. very proud to be with you and speaking for myself and my wife we think you very much. grt job. thank you. president trump addressing the employees. we were getting conflicting messages and information the president of course having spoken to fema and we have to keep in mind it's hurricane season and they are going to be very important to all of this. the trade issue we are going to be speaking. people shouldn't say i don't really relate to pig farmers.
3:08 pm
i hope they don't. a lot of people eat ham, bacon and business. we are going to be speaking to a top pig farmer who is at a massive expo in iowa. you have the mexicans now and for in full retaliation o pork shoulder. what did larry say about all of that. he was more so focused on canada and ask about nafta as well. at the g7. canada will be there mexico well not be there. he was trying to for the most part say look, this is a family kind of discussion. we have certain issues. the white house has moved awa from the possibility of even staying with nafta or wiping it away altogether. maybe they will just negotiate in canada -- with canada in one way.
3:09 pm
i don't want to set the expectations on this at all. you can kind of see that larry kudlow was saying this is an issue that goes well beyond present trump for many decades. don't blame trump. it was a good system. i agree with you. and it lasted fred a bunch of decades but that system has been broken in t lt 2 years plus . they are laying down the marker with the other. if the president is going and we have some issues. we will deal with them at the g7. that is going to be some g7 meeting. foxbusiness will behere we will hear more from the chief economic advisor. at the top of the hour right here because and melissa will be speaking to him after the bow and no doubt they will drill down on all of the details about when we deal
3:10 pm
with what has become a situation although the markets take a look. they are not at least today worried about it. president trump's favorite channel of communication on trade and other issues is twitter. we know that. it just added a lawyer follower. the s&p 500. eighteen and half hours away from twitter makiging a debut. today it is flat and slightly higher. it will be chasing agriculture. they have really done very well since the news first came out. often that happens. a company is added to the s&p 500 this time it may be a little bit too late to cash in on twitter now. our traders for your portfolio. but which stock do you think will be the next contender to join the s&p 500. if i knew that.
3:11 pm
i guess you guys are be would be the second to know. quite frankly and i have a clue in my 57 odd years of being here i'm sure i had owned a few of those. i can show you i don't know how they determined what to get a pic. when they do get picked at least initially it is a big plus for them. and just to clarify when it comes to be added to the s&p 500. a lot of buns after then add that stock. then you see it. i was noticing that some stocks it is not the case with monsanto. those stocks actually end up performing pretty well. and you would think because they have to buy it coming in. there typically is not.
3:12 pm
when i look at some of the biggest stocks. it there are two that really stand out to me. it is a lot of luck trying to just predicted this. i look at square and scylla group. right in the heart of the rest of the s&p 500 stocks. this company when you look at all things considered. they want to take on a stock that might sometime join the s&p.
3:13 pm
it is following the same path as twitter did which follows the same path as facebook. it is trading at about $14. a bottomed out at $10. after being at 30. the same thing happened at twitter. but now once he got back about the 26 level. i know it's been a long time. it went all the way down there. it could be a very positive sign and i see some bullish diversions with the new highs in the lability. i lik snap at these levels. both square and snap our starting either at the tail end or the middle of the recession and that just goes to show you the american spirit is really alive and kicking. great to see all of you as well.
3:14 pm
i wouldn't be sitting here that's for sure. thank you very much. a big scare for big insurers. all it took to tamp down travelers to the bottom of the doubt right now. it was a mere mention of a word. home insurance had travelers as one of the worst performers right now. the travelers are not alone. up next. if the pen is mightier than the sword. they just shredded google. it is going viral. to drop a certain defense contract after employees protested. the former google insider and now ceo of a huge hive of the

3:21 pm
tech companies that are good at this. certainly it is important that there are companies in our industry who can bring this expertise. we were showing some video of drone strikes that we often get post drone strike by the military and interesting aspect was mike bloomberg sought in a completely different way. he does not lean super right or super left. it will improve the actual pinpointing of the drone strikes. google might be in a top position here because they should be at the forefront of this technology. there are companies that had great expertise in artificial intelligence and they need to be working closely with our

3:29 pm
. liz: do you own a home? do you want to buy a home? usually when you purchase a home, you expect, you hope the value will increase over time. that might not always be a good thing. take for example vancouver in british columbia. canada. housing costs in that city are up 60% over the last three years. gotten so expensive that politicians are considering taxing the real estate market to cool vancouver down, like a 20% foreign buyer tax. new taxes on second homes. things like that, and believe it or not, there are a lot of home owners who agree with that because they want to see prices come down, so their children and other people can afford to move in. the world is being priced out of vancouver. one resident told "the new york times" if it means losing 200
3:30 pm
to $300,000 to bring the market back down, so be it. that is the complete opposite of one of america's busiest cities. jeff flock where the housing market is falling behind where the rest of the nation appears to be rebounding. jeff, what is happening that everybody is underwater? reporter: we have enough taxes here, liz, we don't need that vancouver stuff here. this is a beautiful house. $384,000. it's a short sale, why? because the people that own it owe more than it's worth. and you know what? chicago now leads the nation in what we call underwater homes. take a look at the numbers, almost astounding how far ahead of the pack chicago is on this. 254,000. that's three quarters of a million underwater homes in chicago, compare that to l.a., 74,000. seattle, 32,000. new york, 195,000. that's not on the list, there
3:31 pm
but, of course, new york has a whole lot more people. percentagewise, 15% of all of the homes in chicago are actually underwater. compare that to the cities that got hit hardest by the real estate problem, vegas and miami, phoenix, those are all with much smaller underwater rates. the problem is this, there's a number of problems in the chicago metro area, not the least among them taxes, unfunded pensions, crime, but the appreciation hasn't been here for chicago-area houses. take a look at the five-year appreciation rates for chicago compared to those hard hit towns by the real estate crisis like vegas and miami. 10% appreciation in vegas, 8%+ in miami. and you know what this has done, liz? made it impossible for some people to move. say you own this house behind me here and get a job offer in
3:32 pm
another town but you are underwater. you have to come up with money to sell the house and move to perhaps a better job and get a cheaper house somewhere else. you have to come up with the money, not only to cover the short sale but then for a downpayment on a new house. it makes people unable to move even if they continue to afford mortgage. it's not a good situation. liz: and the weather it. might be nice there today, but you got to give people some things to want to buy into. terrible winter, terrible taxes. reporter: my daughter moved to sunnyvale and she said, dad, why did we ever live in chicago? liz: california, my home state. jeff, we appreciate it. to farmers to fear they're talking on water. closing bell 28 minutes away. dow up 294, nasdaq charging up
3:33 pm

3:38 pm
process hogs are at the 2018 world pork expo in iowa. everybody is talking about one thing, the latest blow in the global trade. the president doesn't want to call it a war, call it a skirmish or discussion but it's a war as far as the farmers are concerned. mexico already slapped a retaliatory 10% tariff on u.s. pork products on top of what was 10%. by july 5th, this will rise to 20% tariffs on u.s. pork being exported. in a fox business exclusive. one of the attendees who left the fairgrounds to come in front of our cameras, ken mashof is former chairman of the national pork producers council. high anxiety there? tell us what the people are saying? >> yeah, liz, i would say high anxiety, any time you have your industry is very dependent on trade which the pork industry is as much of agkurlt as y
3:39 pm
know, and you get this kind of announcement, it's just unsettling. we don't know exactly what it's all going to mean yet. we don't know if we're able to rectify the situation. we certainly would hope so. today it's certainly unsettling and for the producers i saw, first time in a long time, many years, that i've seen this utter, i don't want to say disappointment but just fear, i would say, of what may come. liz: we are looking at video that we were able to obtain of your pork-producing farm, and i would have to say this has got to be disconcerting not only for the farmers but families, and that's specifically what caught our eye. that the organization put out a statement, and said this is devastating to pork-producing families in the united states. while producers are trying to be good soldiers, we are taking
3:40 pm
on water fast. >> yeah and -- liz: hold on. the president and his chief economic adviser larry kudlow and commerce secretary wilbur ross said americans have to take a hit short-term because the trade situation is unfair. is this you guys not willing to take a hit? >> no, absolutely not. in fact, the reason america doesn't really know is because we've been patient, but the fact is u.s. pork producers were already hit in the first round, the tariffs, the china issued. pork was the largest single component of the retaliatory tariffs. we were already at 25% with china before early april. we went an additional 25%. now a 50% tariff in china. that tariff went into place. pork was again the largest item of that, and we understand this is a bigger issue.
3:41 pm
we understand t administration has many interests and many other issues at stake, but as we look back at it, we understand that we were certainly caught in the crosshairs and now with mexico, largest trading partner, canada is number four trading partner, and if these things exist in those areas, those statements are correct. that producers are looking at potential devastation. we already went since early april from what was, liz, going to be a profitable situation within operations, pork producers throughout the year anticipated to what's going to be a year where we'll probably see red ink. liz: cut to the chase, ken, are you guys going to go out of business? what is the worst-case scenario? how long can you hold on and can the farmers five miles from you at the expo in des moines, hold on through the trade discussion? i don't know, do you see it as a trade war?
3:42 pm
and could some of you guys go under? >> that could be possible. by and large, we're survivors, and we know that the president said farmers are patriots. i think he said, and as you said, good soldiers, and i think that we understand that we're going to be victims of any retaliation because whenever you have an industry that's world class global producer at a low-cost, we're a net exporter, very large exporter and could do a tremendous amount to offset the export trade imbalance. so i think, i think we're going to be just fine because i think calmer heads will prevail. i appealed to our friends in the white house that they think about it. here you have a sterling -- a shining star, you might say in the midwest in american agriculture. president trump said he'd like to grow the economy, 3, 4%, various economists and dems
3:43 pm
have said that's totally impossible. i personally feel it's very, very possible, but only under a circumstance where we take industries in this country that are highly effective, world class producers, where we have customers around the globe that want to buy the products. we need to let the companies and operations if agriculture is unstrapped and we have free trade agreements around the world, we've proven time and time again we can offset that trade imbalance. when you are a pawn in a trade war, you don't invest in your business because you're worried, to your point, you're worried about what does next year look like or the year after? can i stay in business? without those investments, i would say that the economy is not going to grow at 3%, but if we break down those trade barriers and write new free trade agreements and make sure
3:44 pm
the ones in place stay in place, we'll be fine, then, so i'm hopeful. i'm very hopeful that happens. >> that's all we can do at this point, and we'll be watching it and i hope the pork farmers and everybody there hangs in there, and fox business is going to be covering the g7 meeting. there may be news out of it, maybe they'll come to a solution. ken, thank you so much. >> appreciate the time. liz: of course. closing bell 15 minutes away. now up 301, folks. that is very close to the session high. we just hit a minute ago of 307 points. president trump's battle with the nfl apparently goes back to the 1980s when he owned a team called the new jersey generals of rival usfl, but could today's national anthem controversy do more to the nfl's business than herschel walker ever did on the field? charlie gasparino coming up next. keep it right here on

3:51 pm
this, the sponsors are on edge on the anthem controversy that the president keeps stoking. thinks it's good for the political brand to attack the nfl on essentially not mandating that all players, no matter what have to stand during the anthem. the compromise that the nfl came up with, i thought it was good, if you don't want to stand, stay in the locker room. trump hates it. amid this, the huge meeting the nfl is having with sponsors, anheuser-busch, visa ceo will be there, all in new york at the sheraton, probably going to go there. liz: probably? i'm banking on you going there. i want to see you get roughed up. >> and pushed around by roger goodell. commissioner. i have the agenda. i'm not supposed to get this but got it through my sourcing. what's interesting is not on this explicitly is essentially the controversy itself. when you go through here, there's no mention of the
