the law that is part of it, but also measures to empower our border security agents and law enforcement and to make sure we extend the role of illegal drugs into this country and those are broadly supported a very important to an immigration plan. i know the senate is taking that seriously as they negotiate the use. cheryl: that seems to be the sticking point of the centrist group that put the bipartisan plan together some even calling themselves back, those in the middle here. the president will veto anything that doesn't have every single point of what he wants. he wants, by the way, the bipartisan plan does not do anything in regards to chain migration for the visa lottery system. he's not backing off on that. >> he said it very plainly he

wants his four pillars. he is not going to take two. the common sense coalition doesn't seem to be prevailing for both sides of the out to come together on capitol hill, only shows very low approval ratings for it. the common sense coalition is onto something here. zero in on those two tanks. beecher daca covered. i know it's bad optics for some it's got optics for sending scott again. move forward at lindsey graham said it 35 more years. it's a band-aid solution. the senate means that software bugs. they don't like to work on friday. they need to get this out. train to the president seems to know how to play this game very well. he knows that if they push it up to the very end which they are famous for doing, you were in congress. the president is going to come back and say it's on you.

you're the one that can't get an immigration bill done together in his hands are clean. >> you are right the polling mount on other prospects, but every pillar has broad public support with majorities including among democrats and independents in the other pillars are of course ending chain migration for broad extended families beyond the nuclear family is and also ending the diversity lottery. the proposal that they've been working on getting all the attention in the past 24 hours actually does touch on three of the pillars, but leaves the diversity lottery impacts, which is a little bit hard to imagine because public support is two and the random lottery and the president has public opinion on his side. if they can come in on not,

they've got daca in line with the president. they've got border security funding. cheryl: i hear yeah. i wish i had my time. breaking news out of florida, but we do appreciate you waking up on the story for us. lauren: more in the breaking florida. 17 people plus dead after the shooting. >> we got the call from our child, a whisper, there's been a shooting at the school and you hear that all over the news and you never suspect to get that call from a child. lauren: new details coming in. any information about a motive from a set back. also watching the markets today looking pretty good this morning. it's not how you open that how you close that matters today. dow futures searching 285 points. five straight days of gains. the volatility has fallen the past four days.

nothing. the alleged shooter didn't tip anybody, colony buddy, tip anybody, warn anybody this is about to happen. turning social media is the second thing they are focusing on today. they told us they have found the very disturbing post commending us relating to shootings, guns, knives posted by this kind man, nikolas cruz in this case. they will be pouring through that. the fbi going through that today. his first the school year, it will be closed today and tomorrow. they are providing grief counselors. lauren: caroline, thank you very much. cheryl: president trump tweeting about the tragedy. prayers and condolences to the terms of the terrible florida shooting. the child, teacher i know and i'll should feel in american school. the director of global elite joins morning to talk about the story. mike baker covert operations

officer joins us over the phone. good morning. let's first talk about what we know so far. this was a troubled teenager. the signs were there on social media. he was a legal gun owner. kids at the school described him as a loner, kind of troubled, maybe taking medications. the signs were there. how did he miss her? >> it's very simple. when they are aware of some off-center behavior, and they seem to compartmentalize it is not necessarily disgusted with administrators and schools. there are other bigger issues here in one of it lends itself to how, children are being programmed both through the entertainment industry into video games to carry acts of this nature. we are already politicizing this. what i find interesting is as disconcerting as the episode is commerce equally disconcerting to know that none of our elected officials have put their brains

together to figure out how they will s.t.e.m. the flow of these incidents. >> that's a fair question. we've been through this before. in modern history this is the third deadly shooting behind sandy hook and behind virginia tech. here we are once again covering a mass shooting at a school. >> fray. i mean, the answer is to the frustration that yes, we all look at this and we think you would go again. another incident and we all know in the back of our mind that we are going to go through the same steps. the horror and the revolt should not react. there will be this stage of grief and the thoughts and prayer statement from other politicians. there will be the last, demanding how could we not take gun control measures. they will be the right guy for not and then we are going to

move on until the next incident. what we've got to do is find some point on the curve though both sides of this issue because it's always political. both sides can agree to and whether that is how do we deal with mental health issues and also hardly deals from an an operational perspective sharing information in that space with the issue of it is there some gun control matter here we can deal with that is not going to unseat the left and the right. cheryl: re: have a debate about gun control after everyone of these of these incidents we've seen. this time around they do we do something different. maybe we talk about dealing with this at the school level as mike just said dealing with mental health issues and maybe more monitoring of social media, better monitoring for can catch things as they happen.

>> and we speak to this intelligently, let's identify the fact the common denominator to every one of these mass killings as mental illness or emotional illness number one. number two, if we speak about gun control in a fully support the second amendment, we have to do that equally. what i find disturbing as those of us in law enforcement go through different screening process for vetting process as opposed to those who indiscriminately walk into stores throughout the united states and by the same weapons they carry military and law enforcement without any vetting except for the fact they been convicted of a felony. perhaps we need to entertain the idea we need to psychologically screen people before we allow them part of these weapons. i have no aversion to anyone wanting to protect their family and if you feel you so need this kr 15 or m4, i understand that. i understand the rationale and arguments on both sides.

we are issued minnesota rush upward association, psychologists and psychiatrists trained to social media training and social media screening is the new west end. authorities cannot use it to stop this. we are out of time. i wonder thank you for joining us on this breaking news. appreciate it. >> stephen minich in getting good on capitol hill. going to tell you exactly why. what exactly is going on with the economy prices going up, spending going down. that sounds like bad news hit the market doesn't seem to think so. at least not right now. future surgeon while over 200 xt points this morning. we will be right back. he talks to planes. he talks to planes. watch this. hey watson, what's avionics telling you?

realize facts are biased at every given pricing you have to know which your own inflated defensive when it comes to portfolios that selection. lauren: as for equities in treasuries, john, we saw almost 3% for the 10 year yield yesterday and that brings up the great rate debate. is it a level of the interest rate that we are worried about for the past come the speed at which you get there? >> it is the speed because this has been telegraphed very well by the fed. inflation is no surprise that the rates are coming. looks like three this year. we have a real problem in our government with the fiscal responsibility. these guys that they can balance the budget any better than what we are doing right now. we have a problem with interest rate up about 4%. this conceptual row normal rate. lauren: disney just raised their theme park prices at amazon
