facebook, amazon, microsoft, all of these companies hoarding cash overseas, people want to get on the trent trained before it leaves the station. train to that is interesting. a lot of these companies in the fourth quarter taking the hits earnings because of these one-time write-offs you does that worry you? >> the rsi is stretched at 86. that has not been seen since the.com bubble. the market is right now the s&p is 12% above the 200 day moving average. we could see the market price that low as quarterly earnings may come in a little week. long-term, the economy showing signs of strain could get could last throughout the year. maybe would have seasonal weakness in the summer. certainly the trent trained, apple 20,000 jobs. oracle may be next.

it could be huge. train to $38 billion in taxes that they will pay come about the new campus here in the united states. is that good for apple? >> great for apple. what many people were recognized in as spend a lot of money on microsoft cloud as well as amazon cloud. not a lot of people talking about how could this affect in a negative way. they will build $10 billion with their data centers. these data centers will be housing your itunes music, i cloud, which they have a lot of opportunity to grow that space. i'm not that big of a fan of and i cloud. it is something they could get more user friendly and take over that space. with spending on data centers. it is a good pr win for them,

but i really think the datacenter push is going to be huge for apple. trade you real quick, morgan stanley, what are you waiting for? >> the numbers could disappoint. if there's a sea of our landing, they could be posting much better numbers because a lot of brokers are switching to investment advisory. they will be replacing commission based business, which could go way down. many people are not realizing the new impact of the fiduciary role passed by obama, trump said he would get rid of it. he never got rid of it, but that will cause an increase in fee revenue to wall street firms. cheryl: thank you for the commentary. appreciate it. lauren: coming up, time is running out to avoid a government shutdown. do republicans have a vote to avert one?

>> if one happens, you only have one place to look and that is the democrats. lauren: the blame game continues. new details on how the house of horrors somehow 13 siblings were found chained to the bed. it got missed all these years because it was listed as a private school.

that is what is happening now, lauren. >> senate democrats taken a harder line on negotiation on a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open and funded pastor friday night deadline. gambling that the gop will take all the heat at the shutdown happens. >> we want to do everything we can to avoid a shut down. if there is one it will fall on the republican fax. >> the president doesn't want to show data for one happens data for an happen sooner fun place to look and not as to the democrat who are holding our military and national security hostage by trying to push through other policies that have nothing to do with the budget. transfigured away in his cursing how quaint, political commentator. who is to blame? >> finger-pointing will continue until the deadline this saturday. honestly, chuck schumer is right here. this is going to fall in republicans.

not necessarily rightfully so, but that is where the blame is perceived to go because there's never been a government shutdown never before under a party who controlled all three branches of the government. that is the political landscape and republicans feel it. they are not in a good place. democrats are able to say hey, several members of our caucus and the senators said we are going to take a shut down if we can't get this deal on daca done. they're advantageous situation. we have to remember they're playing up her hand for the 2018 midterm and a novella group of daca supporters as well as those who favor more immigration policies are enthusiastic that they show up at the polling of playing out as well. >> where exactly and how exactly did all these talks fall apart? a few days ago it seemed promising and now democrats are demanding a clean bill and democrats are saying we want a

wall, and into the visa lottery system. where does the president stand up bass? >> obviously negotiations fell apart when he saw dick durbin come out with those comments. that's aiming about the fact that just a touch disingenuous for democrats to say this is about daca in the trimmers of the senator hadn't come out with comments and they hadn't been playing up all this in the would have a much different negotiation process here. you have to look at the fact for the past three months or so since september congress has continued to pass continuing resolutions rather than budget bills that this is how we push this further and further down the line. the president wants a bill of love. we can all agree whatever that means, the president is someone who has supported the dream is having a path to citizenship. just a matter of the tactics between republicans and democrats and it's really more about politics than policy. >> it seems that the president was willing to budge based on

what chief of captain kelly told bradbury last name. maybe only 700 miles of wall. it seems like there may be rooms for negotiation here. today the house is expected to vote on the continuing resolution. this would be a bully at the fourth stopgap spending measure passed since october and basically keep the government open and funded through february 16th. do you expect that to pass because then it there is a carrot for democrats and that is a six-year extension of chip, which is health insurance for more than a million children. >> bingo. that is a huge and important negotiating tactic because it's completely bipartisan. they want to see chip funding. they agree it should not run now. where you have trouble as the senate. paul ryan will corral those votes. the senate needs 60 votes so it includes democrats in order to pass that cr can attest that al

qaeda. >> you expect the house to pass that and then not the case in the senate. >> done by senator lindsey graham and turban can come to some kind of compromise. >> lindsey graham seems like a no. thank you so much. good to see you. basically what i said. cheryl: it has been a rough winter so far, but is more cold on the way? at least the snow and ice is gone. fox senior senior meteorologist janice dean has your forecast. michael was tell-all book about the white house may be coming to a small screen near you. take a look at features that make it a break. we crossed out 26,000 today. the dow lower in the premarket. you are watching transcendent. -- "fbn:am".
