automatically go to recount. lauren: that's not all in governor's race in florida democrat andrew gillum's campaign is ready for possible recount. gillum did concede sort of to republican ron desantis tuesday night but since then race has tightened and we are looking at what's going on in arizona, another race too close to call, democrat there kristin sinema grabbing lead over more that he mcsally in senate race for the first time since election, up more than 400,000 ballots still need to be counted in arizona. cheryl: live report on that and analysts will be reacting to that story, also this morning president trump is going to be traveling to france, he's going to join world leaders to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the world war i this weekend. lauren: in washington top u.s. and chinese officials are holding security talks as the two nations remain locked in a

trade standoff, that standoff affecting stocks, secretary mike pompeo and jim mattis will meet with their chinese counterparts at the state department. >> well, trump administration is rolling out a new immigration policy as the migrant caravan moves closer to the u.s. border, the first one anyway, under the policy any migrant who attempts to cross into the country illegally will not be eligible to claim asylum in the united states unless they do so at one of the official border crossings. >> the federal reserve has spoken leaving short-term interest rates unchanged but they say the u.s. economy strong, policymakers to set another, fourth rate hike of the year at their final meeting next month. the fed statement says, quote, further gradual increases in target range will be consistent with sustained expansion of economic activity. they also noted that business investment and business investment growth has slowed in the third quarter from its rapid pace that was seen earlier in the year right after the tax

cuts but despite the slowdown at least 3 more rate hikes are expected in 2019 and the fed also did not mention the stock market volatility. cheryl: speaking of stocks, though, disney did not disappoint on earnings that came after the bell yesterday. lauren: tracee carrasco joins us with more on that and other headlines making news this friday morning, how is disney doing, tracee. tracee: better than expected earnings thanks in part to big movies like this. >> follow my lead. >> she seems more intense. tracee: ant man with the wasp boosted disney to best fiscal year in its history, results got a big boost by raising prices at theme parks, disney reported revenue rose $14.3 billion, shares of disney shot up 2% in after hours trading, meanwhile

set to rally? >> well, they could if they can find some support and it's important to take out the previous high, of course, from a technical standpoint, however, we have to remember that the fed raising interest rates is actually putting a lot of pressure on the debt system and we have record amounts of debt everywhere in the system and the more they raise rates incrementally it's harder to service the debt, as long as the credit market stays strong, yes, stocks will continue to market, if credit problems will cause problems and that can put pressure on stocks, we will have to wait and see how slowly they do this and how big of an effect that they have. lauren: what do you make of almost record amount of s&p 500 buybacks, stock buyback that is we have seen this year? >> well, it's interesting, that's what happened in 2007 before the market high but i think companies are basically incentivizing shareholders to hold on to the stock despite

heighten volatile. lauren: instead of investing in companies and employees? >> right, basically when they buy back stocks they are giving shareholders larger percentage of holdings, incentivize to hold on to the stocks that are being bought back if they sell other stocks when you have a heightened volatility situation. lauren: i want to talk about oil, there seems to be a shift in psychology that's affecting the market, it's now a bear market, it was what, october 3rd, 4-year high for oil prices going to 80 and now drop below 60, what's going on with the price of oil? >> oil is a bellwether for inflation and deflation in my opinion basically, oil going down is not a good sign and the fed should be paying attention to oil going down it means weaning demand and means slowing economy in addition to seeing how rate hikes affect the market, i think that oil has to be paid to, actually a deflationary sign meaning that the fed hiking rates and

reducing balance sheet is taking larger effect than maybe they're anticipating. lauren: you sound pessimistic here, francis. [laughter] >> every time the fed has hiked rates in the history of hundreds of years of markets they've sold off traditionally so that's just sort of what happens when you reduce the money supply, the stock market is liquidity meter and it tends to -- tends to come along with that. lauren: thank you very much. >> thank you. cheryl: we are seeing a little bit of pressure on friday morning, again, you had a big boost for marks earlier this week up to midterms, dow is down 82 in premarket, s&p is down 11 and a half, nasdaq down 41 and a half. well, coming up, investigators are still searching for a motive in yesterday's mass shooting at borderline bar&grill, live in thousand oaks with first look at possible clues. and nancy pelosi is not backing down from her bid to become

cheryl: new alarming clues as investigators piece together why a former marine stormed california country music bar and killed 12 people, now terrifying video paints dark picture of what exactly happened inside the bar. >> jonathan hunt live in thousand oaks, california with the latest for us, jonathan. >> lauren and cheryl, good morning to you both, it is a very disturbing video that has emerged overnight shot on a cell phone by one of the customers at the borderline bar&grill, it is disturb to go watch but it gives a very real glimpse into the terror that those 150 to 200 customers must have felt at the time of the shooting, watch and listen here. [shots fired]

>> it was college night at the borderline bar&grill and many customers were young indeed, early 20's when ian david long, 28-year-old former marine burst in clad entirely in black and carrying a glock 21, 45 handgun, served in afghanistan from late 2010 to mid-2011. and apparently returned with some mental health issues, that does not necessarily, of course, provide any motive or any real explanation for this despicable act he carried out but fbi investigators say they will keep trying to find answers for the victims' families, listen here. >> it's only been a few years, we will follow all the leads that are developed through

witness interviews, evidence recovery, the forensic evidence, any digital media that we recover and we will be sure to paint a picture of the state of mind of the subject and do our best to identify motivation. >> we are now also learning the names of most of the victims, they include, of course, the hero in all of this sheriff sergeant ron helus who died as he went into the borderline bar&grill but according to officials undoubtedly saved lives, lauren and cheryl back to you. cheryl: jonathan live in thousand oaks, california, jonathan, thank you very much. >> sure. lauren: let's take a look at futures this morning, it's been a very good week, strong week for the stock market, we saw slight pullback yesterday which is intensifying this morning, s&p down 11, nasdaq giving up 41, still ahead on fbn:am, the midterm election far from over, and a showdown in the sunshine

>> without consistency by the way. >> well, the republican legislature in florida created a law that had to verify the signatures and signatures have been be verified that the ballots are correct, look, if it was the other way around you would want a count to be done before you declare victory. now it's because democrats are behind you want to declare victory -- >> absolutely not. in each of the states you want to make sure that there's consistency, that's what's lacking in florida and the same claims might exist in georgia if it turns out that in georgia there's a possibility that there's inconsistency in the issuance in processing the votes there should be litigation there or arizona, this is not about partisanship this is about ensuring the validity of the election. cheryl: mustafa last word on arizona possibly a win for your party overnight, kristin sinema pulled ahead even laura engram said this might be tough for mcsally to win this seat,

mcsally has good sense of humor she put herself at the den his, -- dentist. >> look the maricopa counts are coming and votes are counted accurately and people that won get to be our dually elected officials whether it's arizona, whether it's florida, whether it's georgia, we want to make sure that counts are done right and the people right people are in office. cheryl: we will have to wait, michael barns, mustafa, thank you very much. lauren: what happened to oil prices, they are now below $60 a barrel officially in bear market territory, can opec meeting this weekend do anything to reverse the slide, we will go to a trader in london to weigh in. this is a tomato you can track from farm, to pot, to jar, to table.
