deal or president will raise tariffs on chinese imports markets caught in cross hairs and this agreement friday between white house peter navarro and economic advisory larry kudlow, of course, which was on your television screen is what happens after 90 days that really triggered a massive selloff. two men tried to narrow their differences on the issue over the weekend. china's next steps are now clear. >> we need structural changes and we need market opening so we need all churl sales and manufacturing sales on like and we need stroll changeses on this fundamental issue of noneconomic technology transfer. well trade talks have been complicate bid arrest of this cfo of the chinese tell come huawei. the bail hearing to meng is resuming today in a canadian court and now accused of violating u.s. sanction on iran among other things. main claims that she should be

without the permission of the other 27eu members. the judge's rules this could be done without altering terms of britain current membership. analysts are saying that this ruling makes staying in the the eu a viable option and it could sway some members of parol whment they vote on prime ministers brexit deal tomorrow. we go to ashley webster he's in london following the very latest for us. ashley. >> good morning to you well is the week the united kingdom finally gets that divorce deal settled with the european union or is this the week that the prime minister suffers a crushing and humiliating defeat in building behind me with a deal going down and possibly losing her job. the odds for mr. may do not look goods right now. the prime minister, though, says they're off three options you can back her deal you can back no deal and just crash out of the e ux or you can are forget brexit together and stay in european union. but there are other calls perhaps for a second referendum perhaps for a general election and new government all perhaps

trying to renegotiate with the eu to get a better deal although frankly eu doesn't seem interesting no one knows how this will end but you can see be sure that financial markets are following it every step of the way who knows what outcome will be. but it will have an impact and probably add to volatility we've already seen on the financial markets in the united states. because we'll be here all week flong every development in what is a true political drama here in the u.k. guys back to you. >> all right we're going to have more on that a little bit later on in the show but to this big news breaking on friday white house chief of staff john kelly is going to be leaving. now president trump says he is still interviewing candidates to be his next chief of staff. but nick ayers frankly considered a lock for the job has declined the offer. to move into the west wing, now ayers is vice president pence's chief of staff but a announced leaving the the white house actually at the a end of the year following the departure john kelly reporting trump is now considering north carolina

[laughter] >> if you have time to get the shopping done like i said. all right can you pick one michael? what you think is biggest

headline affecting sentiment today in brexit, trade? >> i think trade numbers over the weekend are very disappointing they point to chinese economy i think got over the initial booth of front loading in ports and exforts in october in september and october. we saw significant e slowdown in export growth. we saw a slowdown in import growth i think or more importantly i think the fed that they were lower than expected to all of china major markets would appear to suggest that ultimately we're getting global economic slowdown. i think it's feeding in to the lack of confidence that investors have about the growth in our going into 2019. >> yeah, and imports in china slowed also so their domestic economy is slowing as well. gary let's bring, let's talk about what's going on with the huawei executive ms. menges

there's an allegation that she lied to banks to british banks particularly hfcc and standard charter about company ties to sky come which -- which was operating in iran, how -- can our trade representatives negotiate a trade deal with china without being guided by the legal ramifications of this huawei situation andses pee imagine can they do both at the same time? >> no. i think at this case everyone has their backup with rightly so because we don't know truly what happened. but it does look like in this case as with, you know, almost since the start of the negotiation, whether it be with china whether it be with -- a north korea. the political ark dominates the economic ark and i see that, if it was just an economic negotiation, you know, both countries saylet have no tariffs.

but we can't because trump keeps throwing politics into it that got him leblghted i don't blame him and in this case until the -- political ramifications get resolved, the legal ramifications as you implied i don't think there's going to be any trade deal and i was so hopeful you know even a few weeks ago. >> will there be a brexit deal, michael? >> i think it's unlikely in the short-term. i think the reason it doesn't have numbers to get this deal through now the european justice ruling i think muddies waters further because what it does it emboldens those who want another vote or no brexit at all and on the the flipside of that i think you also got believers who are to dig their heals in even harder there's no majority in the u.k. parliament for any of the alternatives that are countrily touted so i think we're going to have to take this one event at a time. now there is a risk that she could postpone, the vote

states and the trade deal confusion. do you feel any better this morning than you did on friday about the trade deal with china? >> you know unfortunately i don't. i was hoping for a year end resolution on this trade deal but i think we do not see it, obviously, given events of the arrest that we saw here recently. i don't think we're going to see anything dating until first quarter of next year so i think this heightened volatility that we've seen i think we're in 7th inning for markets we know we're getting close to the end we don't know what outcome will be. so sadly cheryl i don't think we're going to see an outcome by the end of the year. he's bringing up issue of volatility and we've had a lot of volatility going back to october and it is not just you know worries about china but also worries about a global recession. but if you look at the economic data out of the united states especially does it point to that maybe germany has some weak pns and concerned about brexit but overall do you think that we've

got this global recession coming like the bears are saying we do? >> so -- i think global recession is too strong of a term but it is clear that u.s. economic activity is set to slow going into next year. look in autos look at weak withness in housing, you've seen dollars strength adversely affecting negatively affecting multinational earnings so it is clear that there are headwinds out there. fed has talked about dated going forward i think that's a very good thing. but the fed maybe a little bit more tight than they think and not a lot of people are talking about quantitative tightening reduction of the balance sheet behind scenes here of i think that's causing more volatility so when you've got the potential for u.s. growth to slow into next year, you've got question marks surrounding fed policy, pane to the point we were just talking about a minute ago you have all of these concern around trade, and with trade is it about trade deficits? is it about -- chinese companies stealing u.s.

technology and u.s. intellectual technology or a broader washington policy around containment of chinese growth so -- suggesting a lot. >> david there's something else here as we were just showing tenure we're still below 3% on the tenure, and that was a big worry for the majority last week was the spread between short and long bond, and how tight things got. is that still a worry for you was that ever a worry for you because again word recession comes up when you look at the spread on treasuries. >> yeah you know inversion and yield kuive is kind of thing that i think a lot of people are looking at at right now. i think this time will be different. i don't think qee going to have to put as much weight in inverted yield curve because if you look at real rates we're about zero percent right now for real rates even if curve does invert i would be hard pressed to think that a environment is too much for the economy to handle. so i think even if it inverts the markets should still rally you know nine to 12 months

before any impending recession. >> brian also you know if we look at the arch investor right now. they're probably a little bit nervous about about the the year end picture for them is there anything is there any catalyst for you that you think could change the picture from markets as we approach the end of 2018? >> yeah. well i think some of the things we talked about a minute or two ago to get a little bit more clarity on fed policy on trade relations i think that could go a long way. but going into 2019 i think some of the best opportunities in markets might be in international equities or even into merging markets equity space or even in debt space because if you think about what's going on this year, you've had u.s. growth accelerate the rest of the world has slowed. i think you see a trade of places next year why overseas growth starts to stabilize and u.s. flows a little bit. >> i'm glad you brought up fed adding to wall of worry it is a bigger wall than what we're talking about at the border brian and david thank you guys thank you for being here. appreciate are the it.

>> thank you. thank you. >> about technology -- so let's do that right now. the big tech stocks led the market lower on friday. so can they rescue the market today? let's ask lew of disruptive tech research what he thinks what do you make of this big tech selloff, lew? >> look i think anyone pronouncing tech dead is premature but we have to distinguish there's tech selloff that's deserved and others that are overdone i think we've talked at length if facebook they can't keep from stepping in controversy this year. that stock is down you know 30% from highs totally deserved if. but then take a look at stock like apple or xpi they're trading at 10 to or below 10 times forward earnings, selloffs in those stocks are overdone because those are resistant no one will stop using smart phone in case of xpi leverage to automotive internet of things machine learning and artificial intelligence those are tech

trends that are going to persist no matter where global economy on u.s. economy goes. >> lew but if we get into all out trade war with china, and if as peter navarro said in robert lighthizer or said that hard deadline is 909 days or tariff go up that does affect tech names you mentioned and others. >> does absolutely. we know apple we thought they were going to be immune from iphone tariffs it sounds like that entered the picture but i think this is opportunity is knocking here. i do not believe that we're going to play a game of chicken with china in definitely there's a trade agreement. i do believe and i said this previously when i came on it that president trump will strike is a deal with china to avoid a trade war all out trade war i think that's presenting opportunities in some of these names that are unfairly sold off on concerns over what will happen in china. . let's switch gears to talk about two car companies über and lyft both filing paperwork for

ipo's, how will will this -- ipo going public actually transform not only the companies but the the ride sharing market as we know it. >> i think it's going to take the froth out of the market. i'm very pessimistic about about these ipo like i was about snap ipo. traditionally, companies that are unprofitable and highly valued do not perform well in the aftermarket facebook flopped before it really popped so i expect this to be a positive for the ride sharing sector because now we start figuring out look we're going get transparency. we're going to get quarterly reporting on what initiatives are. are they really investing heavily in self-driving carses are they brarnlging out into scooters so i think those are important. >> discounting über and lyft. okay thanks for joining us. many topicses to discuss we appreciate you. >> thank you. get him back with ipo's next year let's say actually in tech space right now there could be

good news for one social media -- >> some good news tracee carrasco you have that story and other headlines making hopefully good news this morning. >> good morning according to an fec filing facebook board approved another nine billion dollars for shares repurchases adding to 15 billion dollars it had previously authorized to buy back its own stock. goldman sachs is predict share buybacks will hit 1 trillion this year facebook is down 22% year to date. >> so that's a good time to do discount buying i guess if you will. all right amazon wants on the go for travel what does that mean? >> this is a great idea rioters says amazon is looking to expand cashierless free store to airports for travelers amazon is reportedly evaluatingtop u.s. airports for new locations according to public records request to several airport operators since january amazon is opened 7 of its amazon go

committed at his direction. all right let's bring in attorney david to talk about legality of this i heard the question on friday i think it begs repeating today david if the president knew about the payment the stormy daniels the hush money if it came out of his own pocket that's not campaign but a civil suit at the end of the day because president didn't disclose the payments. is that enough of a crime to go against president trump? is that enough to keep this investigation going by mueller? >> not on its face. that particular statute does require the knowledge and a willful violation so that would mean that donald trump would have had to know that it was legal transaction here he's dealing with an attorney. let's not forget about that relying on his afghanistan, so no that doesn't just because itt the discretion doesn't get you to the knowingly or willful violation that's require by the federal law. >> right and also the fire of

james comey we were looking at pictures of the president and james was his ire tooing of obstruction of justice by trump yes or no? >> no i do not believe so he has the constitutional right to make those decisions so a lot has been made of this. there's a lot or more that's going to come out there's no doubt about about that. but at this point we do not have enough to implicate the president in any crime. >> let's talk about the -- all of this as at the center of robert mueller's investigation was there collusion between president trump and the russians michael cohen did lie to the fbi michael came back and said yes, in fact, trump associates, and russian operatives trying to put two together meeting never happened. do you think that mueller has enough there to continue investigation as well? >> well, here's what surprises to me on cohen front. when cohen came in and pled guilty two week ago to lying to congress we all believed that he was going to get out of jail as a result of this.

if it was -- if it was a valuable information to mueller that would probably have been the case but that's not the case. while mueller has said he did, in fact, cooperate with his investigation, it is the southern district of new jersey that came out swinging last week in essentially saying that he should get substantial prison. he is -- he is exposed to 51 monthses to 63 months in the new york case. if it was substantial corporation from mueller i would have thought he would have gotten no jail on new york -- >> but looking for a lot more jail too many you're right. i want you to listen and go back to implication for the president at the center of the probe, obviously, angry about it as we read his tweet what he said to say about implication for president trump. >> because there's a very real prospect on the day donald trump leaves office the justice department may indict him. that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail

time. >> what do you make of that? >> well what they're talking about -- is because i think everyone is agreeing right now that it is sitting president cannot be indicted by the department of justice. so that would mean in the event that he's not reelected there's a very, very small window of statute of limitations to campaign violation and anything that whatted during the 16 campaign. that is what they're talking about here. if it is nt true they cannot be indicted a smalg window to charge courtrooms if they, in fact, have been committed. >> we have to have you back as always to talk about legality of this because this investigation is still going. it is still after all of this time. david bruno thank you to you. >> and millions of dollars and trader in london to see if key ruling from brexit means great britain can stay in the european union. >> you said that right.
