afternoon in hamburg, 9:45 back on the east coast. that's when president trump will have first meeting, face to face with vladimir putin, the russian president. the president gave a bit of a vague preview earlier this morning from hamburg on twitter saying the following, i look forward to all meetings with world leaders including my meeting with vladimir putin, much to discuss. now, that was a bit of mix messaging from the president as it relate today russia, there was skepticism surrounding comments that he made involving rubbian meddling saying it was probably russia, could have been other countries but then he added, quote, no one really knows, however, later in the day he took a much harder line against russia by saying that they need to join as he put it the community of responsible nation. >> we urge russia to cease its

destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. make blake now,, the g20 is now underway, on the eve of the meetings last night. there were protestors by the thousands that took to the streets here in hamburg, they were met by police in riot gear. the protests lasted for hours. we expect as you probably heard or even saw those folks behind me there, that these protests will continue throughout hamburg today and into saturday and one person who was expected to be joining those protests on saturday, the new york city mayor bill de blasio according to his public schedule he will be coming here to germany in a couple of days. back to you, guys, in new york. lauren: amid another trail derailment in new york. blake berman, thank you for the report. cheryl: as tensions continue to rise with north korea, defense secretary jim mattis says that he doesn't believe the u.s. and the north are closer to war.

>> diplomacy has not failed. it is our self-restraint that's prevented war, any kind of effort by north korea to start a war would lead to severe consequences. cheryl: well, this comes after north korea successfully test fired first intercontinental ballistic missile earlier this week. meanwhile in the speech ahead of g20, south korean moon jae-in is willing to meet with kim jong un at any place. lauren: u.s. district judge denying an emergency motion filed by hawaii to expand the exceptions to trump's executive orderer banning travel from the u.s. and six muslim countries. the supreme court rules last month that only those with bonafide relationships with family or businesses can enter the country. the judge saying that question

is up to the high court to decide leaving the ban in place. cheryl: big story this morning. billionaire warren buffet plan to go make a bold move. lauren: he's buying the crown jewel. tracee carrasco with the details. tracee: a unit of warren buffet said it would acquire oncore. according to a reuters's report yesterday, it agree today buy dallas based bankrupt parent for 9 billion in cash. now, this is a bold move by buffet who is trying to win approval from texas regulators after they blocked two earlier attempts to sale oncore.

a deal they said it's not in the public interest. chief executive shepherd said in statement to reuters by joining force, whether he gain access to additional operation, operational and financial resources as we continue to position oncore to support the evolving energy needs to our state. in 2013 buffet lost $873 on 2 million bond investment, so for him this deal marks a return to investment gone bad. lauren: what does this mean for warren buffet and berkshire? >> one of the largest acquisitions. as far as oncore, 10 million customers, 73 million income, quarter ending, berkshire hathaway energy, they have six

big utility companies and they add to that. cheryl: tracee, thank you very much. we also have the story following for you, samsung saying it expects second-quarter operating profit going to hit a record high thanks to boom in memory chip sales. company estimating it made over $12 billion. up more than 70% a year ago, massive growth and data. samsung, the news coming after the company was force today recall the galaxy note 7 smart phones last year after several of them overheated and a couple of them caught fire. lauren: the biggest economic report of the month comes down in about four hours from now, three hours from now, an hour before the market opens. the june job's report could be another disappointment though. we have seen payroll growth missing expectation in march, april and in may. this what exists are looking for

for june. 179. a thousand new jobs added, 138,000 in may. as for unemployment rate, that's expected to hold at 4.3%. we, of course, will have complete coverage and analysis of that job's report on mornings with maria, it all starts 8:00 a.m. eastern. don't miss it. cheryl: big question with the report is it going to show a slow month of hiring? rob, good morning. >> hey, good morning, cheryl. cheryl: yesterday's adp, that actually showed the private sector weaker than expected, 158,000 jobs for june. that has some understanding if today will be a disappointment. >> i guess, cheryl, if there's a silver lining is really there's not a lot of correlation if you look back through history in adp report and job's report. just because the adp report was disappointing doesn't

necessarily mean that today's jobs report was disappointing. however, the trend in the last several months with the job's report has been a little light, so i guess given that trend, it wouldn't surprise me if that one is a little bit light too. lauren: which suggests, rob, good to see you, we've had 200,000 jobs created every month, that is behind us, as for unemployment rate, do you expect it to ever soon go below 4%? [laughter] >> well, lauren, it's certainly within the shooting range. let's put it like that that the unemployment can go above 4%. we are certainly starting to reach a point where economists call full employment where we just can't drive the unemployment lower but i don't think we are quite there yet. cheryl: let's talk about wages, rob, forecast 4.3%, .2% was gain that we got for may. but that seems to me to still be

fairly low if you really want a strong economy. >> yeah, cheryl, do i think that that tends to be low and -- and lies a problem for the fed because they're at a point now where they would like to see a little bit of inflation, they're raising rates because the economy is expanding and that's all good but where is the inflation and i guess the first place we might see it is in wage inflation and we are just not really seeing it yet. lauren: the fed is certainly watching for wage inflation. you look year over year, we see wages going up 2%. i know that seems crazy to say, wages are growing too much, do you think that's something that the fed is watching as they go to control inflation? >> i think that's probably front and center and even in the job's report today, there are items, statistics relates to inflation that they'll be looking at. so it's definitely right at the top of their list, i'm sure. cheryl: before we let you go,

federal reserve, obvious the job's report today will be a piece of the puzzle whether or not they decide to raise short-term interest rates again. third raise this year. how likely is another fed rate hike from the fed in your opinion? >> you know, based on the commentary from the fed governors and the minutes, i think we are definitely going to see at least one more hike, probably not more than that unless, you know, the job's report today falls off a cliff in a negative way, but i think it's kind of baked in that we will see one more hike at least. cheryl: rob morgan, thanks for the perspective this morning. >> thanks u cheryl. lauren: president trump comes face to face with vladimir putin for the first time in just a few hours from now. >> we urge russia to cease destabilizing activities and support for hostile regimes including syria and irrein. lauren: the president talking tough on russia in his speech

yesterday, but will it carry through to this highly-anticipated meeting with the russian president? just a couple of hours from now? right here at home wearing a bullet proof vest throwing knives, trying to get into trump tower. the job's report, dow futures down 8. s&p futures up not even a point. you're watching fbn:am.

cheryl: 5:15 a.m. in new york. let's get you caught up on what's happening now. 55-year-old man in custody after trying to get in trump tower. the man told security that he was a senator and we wanted to see ivanka trump. he's currently in new york hospital undergoing psychiatric exam. illinois going budget plan. first complete budget in two years. governor criticized it for adding 5 billion in taxes, illinois still, though, at risk of becoming the first ever u.s. state with a junk credit rating. chip maker asking international

trade commission to stop import of apple phones and tablets, but apple is infringing on patents. qualcomm is seeking payments on innovations that it didn't make. the stock interesting to watch. fight continue ifs for market today. hey, green arrows. nasdaq pointing to a slightly higher open, yes, lauren, that's what's happening on job's friday. lauren: it has been a down weak for the 401(k), president trump set to meet with russian president vladimir putin, first sit-down with the russian leader, let's bring in paul, he's the director of programs at the action institute and a former foreign policy adviser to george w. bush, good to see you, paul. >> hey, there. lauren: do you think the president will raise the issue

of moscow's meddling in u.s. election, he spoke about it a little bit in poland, soft peddle it. do you think he will raise that issue? >> yes, i do. i think for a couple of reasons, one this makes perfect sense to raise it. he's already acknowledge that had the russians have likely played a role. there's no reason why he wouldn't do it in private, but also people have started theory a while back, the democrats pushed specially that president trump wants such a relationship with russia that he'll do anything to get it. that's his predecessor, president trump pushes america's interest first. if he believed that the russians has been aggressive in anyway, crimea, rest of ukraine, syria whatever, elections, he's going to say so. i don't doubt he's going the say that. i don't think he's going to curse him out and have a fist-fight. he already did that yesterday and he did that when te bombed the syrians and showed russians that america is leading again.

cheryl: we have seen statement that is the president isn't going to be tough enough on vladimir putin and small amount of people in the room, if you listen to that speech yesterday in poland that the president gave, he did say that he wanted them to stop destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere. how do you think vladimir putin is going to take that? >> i think they are going to exchange pleasantries and make tougher points not designed to have a kitchen cabinet debate like president nixon gorboshah and they will say something that's considered tough and not what the other side wants to hear but i don't expect a lot of drama out of it because it is their first meeting. the president made a tough speech. lauren: paul, if you look at the optics of all this, putin is a

former spy and dealt with past u.s. presidents, president trump is relatively new to this game, how do you think the psychology element will play out? has donald trump been prepped? what do you know? >> yeah, i think definitely been prepped but donald trump has been around, maybe not kgb spy but done real estate in new york city, that's not child's play. he's using to size up people and use today trying to get his way in a deal. that's what business negotiators do, so i'm not expecting either man is intimidated by the other person and i don't think they expect to go over gigantic list. that's not what the meeting is about. what president trump did yesterday in his speech in poland and what he's done over the last few months such as bombing russia's allies in syria, he's making very clear where he comes from and where he intends to go. i think that's the kind of meeting he'll have. cheryl: what do you make of the

fact that they want fiona to be in the room, there's no report that she will be there, national security council for europe and russia, what did you make of that? >> yeah, i don't know, it's hard for me to understand what kind imaginations were behind the scene. the most important thing is for the two to have the meeting, obviously translators. it need to be a small business because they won't have substance. cheryl: trading celtic green for miami sunshine, whether he tell you about the latest free agent signing in the nba. plus, fans fill the final two spots on all-star teams, we will tell you whoa they showed. a plane with people force today make emergency landing after a passenger try today enter the cockpit.

let's go to blake berman. hey, blake. blake: good morning from hamburg, 3:45, 9:45 later on the east coast this morning when president trump will have face to face with russian president here at the g20 summit. president sent out a vague tweet earlier this morning ahead of the meeting, i look forward to all meetings today with world leaders including my meeting with vladimir putin, much to discuss. the president had mixed messaging yesterday as it relates to russia when he was in poland yesterday on the one hand, he received some skepticism saying that russia probably try today interfered in 2016 lexes but it could have been another country adding, quote, no one really knows, however, in a speech later in the day, he took a much firmer stance against the country saying that they need to join as he put it the community of

responsible nation. >> we urge russia to cease destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and to support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. blake: now, the g20 is now underway here officially but last night on the eve of the meetings, there was a pretty big protest here. protestors by the thousands taking to the streets, they were met by police with ride gear. that was very much anticipated. the protestors took to the street and the police were ready. by the way, we do anticipate these rallies, these protests to continue over the next couple of days here and one visitor will include the new york city mayor bill de blasio scheduled to take part in a rally here in pamburg on saturday. cheryl: new york press is having a field day with that one. there's a report this morning

that that meeting between putin and trump is going to be a very small group and we are wonder if the white house has made any comments, have you heard anything from the sources there about who is going to be in the meeting? >> well, we know it's going to be the president and rex tillerson from the u.s. side of things. this makes sense on a lot of levels obviously. the president, secretary of state, but also tillerson has a preexisting relationship with vladimir putin from his days at exxon. these two know each other very well. tillerson has been meeting with russian counterpart sergey lavrov and those two meeting in hamburg today. when it gets to the meeting 3:45 in hamburg, at the u.s. side of things it would be solely the president and rex tillerson at least as it stands of this morning. cheryl: blake, thank you. blake: indeed. lauren: tensions continue to rise with north korea.

mattis says he does not believe the u.s. and the north are any closer to war, listen. >> diplomacy has not failed, self-restrainted that has prevented war. any kind of effort by north korea to start a war would lead to severe consequences. lauren: still trying to go to diplomatic route after north korea tested intercontinental missile capable of hitting the u.s. meanwhile ahead of g20 summit in germany, south korean president moon said he's willing to meet with kim jong un at any time at any place. cheryl: well, back here at home, let's talk about the battle over health care, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell plans to produce a fresh bill in about a week and he's also acknowledging a plan b saying if he is unable to reach an agreement, some kind of action with regard to the

oncor to other companies. in may texas regulator opposed 18 billion-dollar acquisition of oncor, a deal they said was not in the public interest. oncor said in a statement, by joining forces with berkshire hathaway energy, we will gain access to additional oarmsal and financial resources as we continue to position oncor to support the evolving energy needs of our state. in 2013 buffet lost $873 million on a 2 billion bond investment in energy future holdings, so for him this deal marks a return to an investment gone bad. cheryl: it's interesting because what would this mean for buffet and hathaway? >> this would be big, they have six big utility across the country. they've got over 400 billion customers with those. onocor has 10 billion customers. lauren: tracee, thank you.

they would like to start it this year, perhaps september, they would like to announce it at a meeting where they're not raising rates, so that much we know, but we don't -- you know, it's very important because reducing the balance sheet is an effect tightening rate, another way of raising rates in a sort of, kind of sort of way, so we do know some but i think there's a lot more that we would like to know. lauren: we saw the ten-year yield go up, highest level in two months, nasdaq and s&p lowest level in two months. what do you make of higher rates right now? >> well, i think there's been a long-awaited view that the yield curve is going to steepen, lauren. that's what happens when an economy expands. it's been confounding people that stocks have done well and bonds have done well, maybe we are starting to see the steepening of the yield curve, that's a natural consequences of outstanding economy. cheryl: let's talk about that economy.

2% growth target whether it's the fed 2% growth or the president 2% growth or 3% growth that they want to see. the economy seems to be stub lg a little bit, rob, why is that? >> well, you know, the fed addressed that a little bit. they said that in a lot of ways in their opinion anyway, i guess i'm taking them at their word that this is the slowdown is a bit transitory. i'm not sure, there's probably a number of small factors that we could kind of say is causing it. i don't think anybody, i don't think there's one big reason for this, i guess just looking down the road the fed thinks this is a term phase and they are expecting resume to more robust growth. lauren: rob morgan, good to see you, thank you. cheryl: thank you, rob. we have a lot more coming up. north korea is set to be a major topic of discussion among world leaders at the g20 today. how is president trump going to deal with the potential nuclear threat from that rogue nation?

course, north korea is expected to be one of the major topics. let's bring in paul, former foreign policy for adviser to george w. bush. good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: the president has been pushing china to put pressure on north korea because really the chinese are the economic lifelines, to north korea, do you think that president trump can get anywhere with the chinese president today? >> it depends. i think that the president is going to give china one more chance. i think he was quite interested in chinese help. he wanted to see if his presidency would be a different thing for the chinese to deal with. maybe or maybe not china has gotten that but i think that the president will give him one more shot and one of the ways he will do that is to show the president of china and the world we are serious of embargo with north korea. before we two to war, we are serious about cutting every

avenue the north koreans have. the north koreans have never faced sanctions the way say iran did. there's a lot more that can be done. rex tillerson and we are willing to go to war necessary to preemptively strike and do what we have to do but in the meantime we will cut off every avenue of funding because north koreans are working with a lot of countries around the world to make money. lauren: isn't it unbelievable to you, paul, since provocations began, trade between china and north korea has actually increased? >> absolutely and, you know, there are a couple of reasons for that. just trade moving forward, things in the pipeline, there's probably disagreement in the chinese government, province run by military leaders that have business involvement in certain areas and they may not want to cut back trade and so the chinese government hasn't taken seriously that president trump

means what he says about north korea. cheryl, of course, highly-anticipated meeting today between president trump and vladimir putin, all eyes on that, although we may not get many details of what they talk about. certainly north korea is going to come up. what do you think putin will be willing to do to deal with north korea? >> i think a couple of things that he will do. one to make clear the united states will not tolerate this. i'm a different president. i'm not going to be like the previous three presidents that made deals around the edges with north korea and hope that their good behavior would e merm because the world wanted them to. i think they want to make it clear that's not what he expects. the least you can possibly think of the north korean regime and therefore expects the worse. the other thing he will say, what is it that the united states and you and i could work onto get you on my side on this, again, he is a negotiator. it's diplomacy.

cheryl: we will see how it goes. paul, thank you very much for your perspective. >> we will. surely. lauren: coming up in sports trading celtic green for miami sunshine. we will tell you about the latest free agent signing in the nba. we are going to show you they chose and outside severe storms moving east. state of emergency declared as severe flooding hits western pennsylvania. are going to take a look at friday forecast and your weekend forecast coming up. you're watching fbn:am.
