from the heads of state of other countries. there are note downstream price effects on her industries that are significant. the mission is to defend her steel and aluminum industry so that they survived. lauren: navarro is defending policies with host chris wallace yesterday. the president threatening to impose new taxes on european cars if the e.u. in retaliation increases tariffs on u.s. goods. commerce secretary wilbur ross on "sunday morning futures" defending the president's position. >> china and europe talk free trade and practice protectionism. they are far more protectionist than we are. take cars. our automobiles is to .5%. europe's tariff 10%. china's tariff 25%. that's a funny kind of comparative advantage. lea: republican senator lindsey

graham: the president's plan a bad idea. >> china wins when we fight with europe and the american consumer has higher prices because of terrorist they don't affect chinese behavior. china is winning and we're losing with the terrorist regime. you're punishing the american consumer and allies for making a huge mistake here. drink it out of the business roundtable and former george w. bush white house chief is tough joss bolden warning about the risk of trade wars. >> it's bad enough in the steel and aluminum case that the treats for the president including the treats about responding a german autos on friday suggested he thinks the trade war is easy, winnable. it is him. nobody wins a trade war from especially in this globalized age.

literally a hazard for employees. what's going on. tracey tracee carrasco joins us with more on that another headline. what on earth causes people to walk into walls? >> good morning. reports of employees walking into glass walls at the spaceship campus in cupertino, california. a look at the 9-1-1 transcripts. in one called the dispatcher asked what happened. the caller said we had an individual who ran into a glass wall at 10 and hit their head. they have a small cut in their slightly disoriented. we have on-site security with them right now. another one that same day where he had decided getting a little bit of a cut on the eyebrow appeared in a call two days later the injured employee actually spoke to the dispatcher directly and said i walked into a glass door and the first for apple part when i was trying to go outside, which is very silly.

lauren: had ever walked had ever walked into a glass door before? >> i have not. apple employees taking matters into their own hands, putting posted subsidy of some direction on where to go. lauren: have done it. no injuries. it's very jarring when it happens. lea: i know somebody you broke her nose walking into a glass wall. it can be dangerous. if those employees were wearing spectacles, we might have had video of this. >> this is kind of a gamble considering snapchat took a $40 million hit on the generation of spectacles at around 150,000 units. snap is reportedly working on two new versions of the spectacle wearing camera. one is a second-generation model that offers performance improvement in new colors at the second is the more ambitious version with two lenses on a more advanced camera technology could cost up to $300.

dow lost over 3%. negative for 2018 on word that it trade war wilbur ross says don't worry. >> in terms of the inflationary impact, we are talking about a total of $9 billion of terrorists. that's about one half of 1% of the economy. so this business that the sky is falling is just silly. lauren: he also said a camera talk about a penny more. this week with their market panel and a u.s. aircraft carrier arrived in vietnam in a landmark visit for the very first time, vietnam war. we will be right back.

great, another dead end. sarge, i just got a tip that'll crack this case wide open! turns out the prints at the crime scene- awwwww...did mcgruffy wuffy get a tippy wippy? i'm serious! we gotta move fast before- who's a good boy? is him a good boy? erg...i'm just gonna go. oh, you wanna go outside? you gotta go tinky poo-poo? i already went, ok? in the bathroom! as long as people talk baby-talk to dogs, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

lea: president trump says trade wars are received. is this a potential trade war with casting a shadow over the market? >> i think it's got markets a little bit concerned although what is really going on is this is trump's way of starting to renegotiate some of these deals. you heard wilbur ross talk about the automobile tariffs. in europe they tax their cars at 10% and we taxpayers a 2.5%. i don't know anyone who would say that is free or fair trade. it's only free if it's fair. $9 billion worth of tax on steel, but the opening foray in what the markets are worried about more than anything is that it gets out of control and not sure it's going to get there. lea: that's the big question. the market was volatile even before the tariff controversy. where are they headed now? >> he makes a great point here that i don't see this getting

out of control. u.s. imports as you look at that as the fifth-largest economy in the world goodbye would anyone want to get in any trade war with us? our economies on solid footing in with a much bigger stick a few bigger stick if you will than anyone else. the volatility made the headlines and has more to do with interest rates or inflation coming back. things we haven't seen in almost a decade. the reorganization of assets is causing more turmoil than his headlines. lea: the dow was up more since election day 2016. if president trump does follow through on this plane and does announce a formal decision, do you think will see another move like this in the markets or will it be muted because of the announcement made last week? >> i think the reaction to his announcements already in. there is a secondary piece to this and why he chose steel is that he's pushing an

infrastructure plan and that is the major 500 billion to $1 trillion for the public-private partnership and i think he thinks i would be a terrific way is the part of the planned for the u.s. steel manufacturers to participate. the bigger picture as we went for almost two years without any disruptions in the market, without any bad news, anything that spooked the market in any way and now we get to the point where prices are to the level right now the p.e. ratio where things are starting expensive and all that really means at the end of the day is smaller and smaller things can have an impact. when you're treating them as some of these ancillaries may not have an impact on stock prices. when they get as high as they are, down the road maybe things won't be as good so let's start to reposition portfolios today.

>> just to ask about your thoughts on whether this could affect the fed and interest rate hikes receive. >> i think what will impact the fed is the speed of economic growth this year. the fed is a little bit behind the eight ball and that they should have been raising more proactively in 2015 and 2016 but it got overly political. as the speed of the economy picks up, so goes the fed. whether we read three or four rate hikes is not a big deal. the big question comes to happen two or three years down the road when how fast are we going to need to construct the economy. i can imagine the sorts of terrorists having any impact on fed decisions. secretary rice at $9 billion a year is pennies to the entire u.s. economy. i wouldn't be looking to that. lea: you both have very calming voices on mass this morning.

"fbn:am" starts right now. ♪ lauren: 531 in the morning. i'm lauren simonetti. lea: i made gabriel and for cheryl casone.

lauren: march 5th was the deadline for the plan for dreamers. two federal judges have temporarily blocked the administration for amending the "fbn:am" program. they could revisit the issue by march 23rd. that's in the next spending bill is due. we've had six months of back-and-forth. still no deal in sight. let's discuss our panel, president of xl alliance and creator of dreamers ventures. good morning to you. media director for campus reform. hey, guys. we will start with you. where do we go from here? >> it seems like no one wants to take responsibility because it's easy to say that the court take care of it. it doesn't really need to be such a partisan issue. a lot of americans if you look at poll numbers that they support giving protection to dreamers. it's just what comes along with it when they can come up with much of a compromise.

the left has stuck themselves in a box with this one. president trump is novel in a compromise. that's the reason we can't come to a deal. back in january he came out instead of at the dreamers. let's give them protection, pathway to citizenship another leftist struggling to say he won't compromise is because he did come out in think it will play poorly for them in the midterms in 2020. as a smart move because now there's some action in more compromise from the left to get something done. lauren: the left is putting on a series of political ads. we'll show you one of them. i'll ask you to respond on the other side. an ad from the aclu and puts the onus on donald trump is looking at it now, basically says trump, time for you to show the left. what is the president need to do here, leon?

>> the president has presented a simple one-page framework for what needs to be addressed or leased a guardrail for what he's willing to approve. baker at the fact it's turning more partisan than he needs to be. we are talking about lives, close to 1.8 million youth that have known in america as their home. 75% are employed and generated an estimated $2 billion in taxes per year. so there is a contribution, and economic value to these lies and anyone that is saying there is not a framework where the president is not willing to negotiate, needs to go back and read a simple one-page he's already put forward. excuses need to be out of the table. if nothing passes, you are letting partisan and political bias get in the way of good decision-making. lauren: do you think at this point the president has laid out his demands $25 billion for

border while, the anti-chain migration, do you think now is democrats that would be, for lack of a better phrase, carrying less about dreamers, not doing enough? >> many democrats in d.c. are afraid of looking like they're working with president trump because president trump because of the political kiss of death to look like you are giving president trump what he wants. but the bottom line is that's how compromise works. in this case i don't think he will play well with the american voters to look like you are willing to make a deal especially because president trump has come not willing to do that. would receive from president trump is the method in the logic we see from the white house is low, we are willing to make a compromise but at the same time we have to make sure it doesn't continue to present itself. most americans can agree number one daydreamer should have said that the protection number two we need to secure the border.

republicans are saying the two things don't have to be mutually exclusive. we can do both. it will play poorly for democrats moving forward if they are willing to give anything but expect to get anything. lauren: thank you so much for your perspective this morning. >> thank you. lea: united air lines getting rid of employee bonuses and replacing them with a chance to win prizes. lauren: it better be a good price. what is united doing? >> it's a good price, but you have to win the lottery to essentially take her quarterly bonus. this is something new united is doing. prices ranging from $2000 to $40,000 cash, cars, luxury vacations. you could win $100,000, that united is giving these instead of the quarterly bonus. each reaches a performance that whatever drawing eligible to enter the drawing.

getting one of these prizes. people are a little upset you have to win enabled to get the prize. not everyone gets the bonus even though they should. lea: most people want to pick what they get. cash is king. >> mixed reaction i think that i'm not sure would like it. truth or if you guys got a $100,000 bonus and i didn't get my regular bonus, i'd be annoyed. lea: and it's the one who wednesday, not the one who works the hardest. lauren: a new study showing the lendale's would be more up to speed with scams and how things work on mine but that's not the case. >> millennialist lost more money to scams, fraud, all of those things that people that were older. this comes from the federal trade commission. 40% of americans in their 20s reported fraud in 2017 compared with 18% of those 70 or older. here's the interesting thing. those 70 or older lost more

money in the scams, frauds that millennialist. the lendale's average $400 loss, does between $601,000. >> may be because they spend a little more time online. starbucks getting the new spring drinks. one of them taste, like a shot at? >> that's what i thought when i read the description. but it is a cinnamon almond milk balky auto admin hazelnut mocha coconut milk balky auto. lauren: i had one. it did remind me of spring. i didn't know was a spring drinks. tragedies are not what you think of when they think of spring that they are available right now adding to the menu available all through spring yet hot or cold. we will see. lauren: did you like it? >> i have a habit and i thought immediately this sounds like for
