manufactured crisis and fear politics. what do you say? >> i think the president made a fairly deliberate case for immigration fixes in all their forms. the president clearly laid out that the human cost of illegal immigration and this is something we should all oppose, the fact that women and children are coming to the border and they're being assaulted and attacked because they're innocent and because they're more vulnerable than other folks. we know we want to stop illegal immigration from impacting our own citizens. i think the president made a deliberate case for a all hands on deck a approach for stopping illegal immigration. lauren: he sounded presidential while doing so. my question is if this is a manufactured crisis as the democrats say, at what point does what is happening at the southern border become a crisis? how bad does it have to get? >> exactly, this is a case where we're seeing increasing numbers

of women and children coming to the border, we're seeing increases in the number of family units and caravans coming to the border. these are yo unique problems, nw problems we have to stop. the left doesn't want to seem to have to deal with illegal immigration. they don't have any solution other than say let them in. lauren: every week, 300 citizens are killed by heroin alone and 90% of that heroin comes across the southern border so it's an issue in that sense as well. senator sanders said the president -- well, that he likes to lie. listen. >> donal.>> trump has told the n people several hundred times and he mentioned it tonight, that mexico would pay for the wall. that's a lie. if this wall were to be built, mexico would not pay for it. american taxpayers would. trump said that thousands and

thousands of terrorists are entering the united states from the southern border. that is also a lie. lauren: your response, david? >> i've taken issue with some of the statements by the administration in the past because i do think that they haven't always been the most accurate. but today or last night, the president's address i think it was really making a compelling and pretty accurate case for why we do need fixes to border security and immigration enforcement. i didn't think that simply saying that there are costs to illegal immigration would evoke such a sad response from the left. lauren: we have a meeting today with the democrat and the congressional leaders -- with the president and congressional leaders at the white house. the president said we can get a deal in 45 minutes. we saw where they dug in their heels last night making speeches, both sides. can we get a deal today? are you optimistic about that?

>> i think the american people want to see illegal immigration as an issue solved. i don't think this is something we can just allow to continue and we do need members of congress from both parties to be able to come and wrap their hands around what is the best way to stop illegal immigration. let's have that discussion. what does that look like at least. if the democrats don't agree with the president's strategy, let's at least hear what they would do at the southern border. lauren: doesn't so man seem l- doesn't seem like they're going to talk about negotiating until the government is open again. cheryl: we're watching the shutdown, day 19. that's one of the things investors are looking at. they're also optimistic about the u.s. and china trade negotiation. they have wrapped up the much anticipated trade tawfnlg it's been three days now. do we have a deal? and if so, what does that mean for your markets? again, dow up 104 in the premarket, s&p and nasdaq up as well.

we ended up selling off quite a bit because of the risk of interest rates as well as the china issues. the china issues haven't gone away. we're expecting interest rates are going to hold where they are. you're looking at probably margins that are going to come in a little bit from record levels and sales are going to come in a little bit from also areas we haven't seen in over a decade. it's still strong but not as strong as it was. lauren: the volatility still remains. what do you make of the volatility? and also, have we found a bottom? when do you think the stock market will find a bottom, if we haven't already? >> volatility is still here. it's going to remain. while we have so many headlines on the table, as we just talked about with the china headlines, they still make me a little bit nervous and the deal isn't done yet. of course, you have brexit, you have drage retiring at the end of the summer and the debt ceiling and more macro risks throughout the year.

i don't think we're going to find the bottom yet. it's too early. laurenearly.normally these taket months. lauren: this continues and it probably goes until the march 1st deadline when the 90 day trade truce with washington and beijing expires. jason was talking about this, gus. do we get a deal? what does that l deal look like? and how do we enforce that whatever china agrees to, that they actually adhere to what they promised? does the exact nature of a deal that we get with china affect investing? >> yes, i believe it does. the thing that you have to keep in mind is it's one thing to say you're going to buy more cars or you're going to buy more farm products. but in terms of talking about the rules of the road, what you're not going to infringe on, the ceiling or basically passing along of trade secrets or things of technology that are going to enhance your growth over a long period of time, those things take a lot of time to work out. it's not as simple as just saying i'm trading more.

it's more or less what are the rules, what are you going to adhere to, how can i test them? if we're looking at a ronald reagan, it's trust but verify, those are the things we're trying to do is come up with verifications. lauren: what if the administration said this, okay, thank you, we have a deal, you agreed to what you wanted you to, but we're going to keep the tariffs on until you prove you're following through? >> yeah, i think that you should always have the right to be able to put tariffs back on, whether we completely lower the tariffs and then we wait to see if they prove and do what they say they'ring going to do, we should always have the right to be able to put tariffs back on. i think it will be interesting about i.p. protection and ultimately opening up the economy. so i think that brokerages and financials will be interesting to see how that plays out in china as they potentially launch the nasdaq equivalent of you beijing, what type of access are our financial firms and insurance companies going to get

within china. is it going to be closed or open. lauren: the russell 2000 is looking good for a lot of folks right now. q1 earnings growth is expected to be in the double digits for russell 2000 companies, up 16%. do you think that's priced into the market? how are you feeling about the russell? >> i think you've seen over the last couple days companies coming clean and saying we're going to end up having some issues in terms of where margins are at. sales teasales seem to be robusn from high levels. so we're still strong. we're seeing a little bit of a pullback in margins and i know from talking to various companies, they're starting to see the flow-through of costs, input costs going up. so right there, i don't think analysts, just like last year, analysts didn't anticipate the tax cuts and how robust it would be for margins. on the flip side, i think we're at a point where analysts have to compensate for the higher costs, the input costs going into a lot of the production. lauren: thank you guys so much for coming on this morning and

unfortunately as we were doing this segment, futures have halved their gains. cheryl: president trump did not declare a national emergency in his prime time address last night about the southern border, despite the fact he's publicly threatened to do so several times. the declaration would bring swift legal challenges. let's bring in jenna ella, an attorney. jenna, good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: he's got 123 statutory provisions that he could choose from. the one that seems to be most likely cited has been u.s. code 20808, permits military construction projects, not otherwise authorized by law. it's a 1982 provision. he would take previously authorized military funding and he could use it for the wall. how legally strong of an argument could the president have there? >> very strong. there's in fact just the next

year in 1983 the supreme court in a 7-2 decision held that when congress through legislative action delegates specific authority in immigration and otherwise to the president and the executive branch, they can't block that action through veto or otherwise simply because they disagree with how that power is being used. so i think that that's a very strong argument for the president in addition to national emergency statutes, even the same provision that was discussed with the so-called muslim travel ban and of course he won that case ultimately at the supreme court to declare a national emergency and preclude any person or class of person coming into the border when national security was on the line. he's on very solid footing here. lauren:.cheryl: you mentioned e national emergencies act of 1976. congress has the opportunity to disapprove of his action. if you look at other presidential emergency

declarations they were brett specific. one was during the great depression. president wilson did it to stop the selling of u.s. ships overseas because we were going to war. when you say national emergency, can that be disputed in a court of law. obviously this will end up in the court system. i think the president already knows that. >> of course these wai will be challenged in court. some groups will be chomping at the bit, trying to sell lawsuits. the question isn't can they sue, it's will they he prevail. this prevision doesn't require the president to justify or allphqualify what he deems in hn view qualifies as a national emergency. cheryl: i want you to listen to what judge napolitano said when he was fox and friends yesterday about the issue of imminent domain along the border. >> he can declare a state of emergency but the declaration

itself does not give him the power to take private property and according to congressman will herd, through whose district most of the wall would go, most of the property the federal government doesn't own, so he has to condemn it and pay for it. he can't do that without congressional authorization. cheryl: does judge napolitano have a point about imminent domain. >> he has a partial point. this can't be unilaterally done and done without compensation and without complying with imminent domain provisions. in that sense, yes, the president does have to comply with that, he can't unilaterally comandeer land provisions. any court will side with president trump on the border provision unless they're activists and don't like trump or disagree with his policy which is not under their purview.

cheryl: the land owners are going to -- there's several lawsuits that have been in the courts for years, land owners in texas who have -- they were hit by imminent domain and have taken it to the courts and have stopped the border security on the texas border, correct, jenna? >> it's halted it. people can challenge these things in courts and justice doesn't necessarily come swiftly but the outcome of these cases should be more swift and activist courts should not prevent the exec ti executive bh from doing it its del delegated. cheryl: thank you for helping us to look ahead for the potential roadblocks. >> great to see you. lauren: executives step down after a company disagreed with comments that were made. cheryl: tracee carrasco has that story and other headlines. tracee: these comments from former ceo richard gudis were allegedly made before he officially became the head of herbalife in 2017.

viral. it's about a boss who's pretty darn bossy. tracee: a 28-year-old ceo posted the ad on job search site, seek, detailing a part-time personal assistant position at his company. the listing details the many personal and professional criteria of the job, some high demands like never being able to clock out. the listing reads if you want to clock in and out of your job, this isn't for you. the ey ideal candidate should nt take things personally. it states the applicant must be willing to put up with profanity. the salary for this part-time job, $50,000. it has since been removed. no word on what ceo this company is the head of. cheryl: obviously social media went after this guy, the kid, guy, whatever, he's 28. there's a lot of anger on social

media about this. lauren: tracee, i know you won't be going for that job. all righty. cheryl: stay with us. we'll let you clock out. tracee: thank you. cheryl: let's take a look at futures. investors, they're there and they're buying but not as much as they were earlier in the overnight session. dow is up 62. we were up triple digits earlier. nasdaq is up 19. it was a shocking championship game and now we've got the viewership numbers when clemson rolled over number one alabama on monday night. and one local distillery in columbus, ohio is pulling out all the stops to keep a russian hockey star playing for the blue jackets. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ i remember running through the wet grass. ♪ customize everything - bike, wheels, saddle. that's why i switched to liberty mutual. they customized my insurance, so i only pay for what i need.
