what an extraordinary day. tomorrow promises to be every bit as extraordinary. thanks for joining us. have a good evening and good night from new york. we'll see you lauren: it is friday, february 15th. here are your market movers. in hours, president trump is expected to declare a national security over border security, after signing a major spending bill. amazon pulls the plugs on plans to build a second headquarters in new york, taking 25,000 high paying jobs with it. we're breaking down the numbers and what it means for future business. forget elon musk and richard branson's missions to mars. nasa wants to take you to the moon and soon.

cheryl: here's how your money is moving at 5:00 a.m. red arrows for u.s. futures after disappointing retail sales pressured markets yesterday. the dow is down 42 in the premarket, the nasdaq is down as well, 12 and three-quarter points, s&p lower as well, nasdaq barely closing higher yesterday. we got earnings from pepsico coming up this morning. the weakness spreading globally. take a look at europe. the germany market is under pressure. maybe some positive movements for brexit. same story in asia, broad selloff. they were tracking wall street's performance. trade waitiners waiting for thes waiting for the conclusion of trade talks in beijing. lauren: good morning. i'm lauren simonetti. cheryl: i'm cheryl casone. lauren: there is unease out there. cheryl: just hours from now, the white house says that president trump is going to declare a national emergency to

secure $8 billion in additional border wall funding after he signed a spending bill that will keep the government open. lauren: ray bogen is following the ins and outs of all of this in washington. he has details for us. >> reporter: the $330 billion spending bill funds the department of homeland security and other agencies that were shut down for over a month. while the debate over funding may be over, a new fight over presidential powers may just be beginning. >> the ayes are 83. n a ays are 16. >> reporter: the bill is on to the president. sarah sanders says the president will sign the spending bill but he will also declare a national emergency to, quote,en p sur ene stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the r border. the president is unions again delivering on his promise to build the wall, protect the border and secure our great country. rea action to a national

emergency declaration is mixed. some are strongly against it. >> the precedent he's setting should be met with dismay and unease. >> it's likely you can't do it a all without a national emergency. i think he will go the national emergency route because he has to. >> reporter: and those who haven't made up their mind. >> we have to wait and see what actually the president does and says before i'm able to comment on whether or not a precedent is set. >> reporter: most of the public is against a declaration. a fox news poll shows 56% of voters oppose a national emergency. 38% are in favor. at least one organization has already announced they will file suit if president trump declares a national emergency. but the press secretary said the white house is very prepared for a lee l gafora legal challenge. lauren: stay with fox business this morning for our live coverage of president trump's announcement on funding the border wall, 10:00 a.m. eastern time. cheryl: from washington to back

here in new york city, governor andrew cuomo blasting progressive politicians after amazon pulled the plug on his plan to build a second headquarters in queens, new york. amazon reversing course after politicians and other local leaders objected to the nearly $3 billion in tax incentives that were promised. new york city mayor bill d de blasio blasting amazon for not being tough enough to stand up to critics. >> we gave amazon a good opportunity. all we ask is they be a good neighbor and be part of the community. they weren't ready to do that. there was no dialogue, no effort to work together. cheryl: polls showed most new yorkers wanted amazon here. why did they abandon the plan and so quickly? let's bring in pete p pashil a. you say everybody looks bad in

the end result. why is everyone suffering in their images, do you think? >> for multiple reasons. everyone is coming out a loser. proponents for the deal look bad because basically now they have nothing to show for all the work they did and the subsidies and tax incentives they were going to give amazon which they were going to take a political hit for and still will, they have nothing to show for it. opponents led by the likes of alexandria ocasio-cortez, they look bad because they look like they're prioritizing ideology over benefits to constituents like jobs. those are the polls that amazon and others are showing that show a majority of new yorkers, particularly minority communities were in favor of the deal. and amazon looks terrible. they look childish and figure fe and they're pulling out with a little bit of head winds. the opposition to the deal was

not that unified. if you look at the polls and other factors. this is something amazon could have easily dealt with and sort of would have died down in the long term. but they decided to pull out and it just makes them look really, really childish. cheryl: you bring up amazon's movements in all of this because they'll take those 2 ' thousands and spread them out. there won't be another hq2, if you will. was this a p.r. stunt in. >> it was a p.r. stunt to get the best deal and best incentives possible from any particular community. so it sort of exposes that whole process as bit of a sham. they're still going to have their bigger facilities in nashville and virginia. those are going forward. but the rest of the jobs -- they're just kind of shrugging, okay, we'll expand here and there, we learned our lesson, we won't do this big public

spectacle again. it's a sad day all around. cheryl: what does it mean for other technology companies? google is working with the u.s. government right now. is this bad for other tech companies moving forward? >> oh, yes, this should be an alarm bell, a wake-up call in that this is going to embolden opponents of big tech. big tech, if you've been paying attention the last two years, is facing a lot of opposition on various practices and policies. this is definitely going to embolden the people who are pushing against big tech and i think google is, to cite them, they're kind of doing this kind of thing the right way because they're vastly expanding their presence in new york city and they're not seeing the kind of opposition because they're not sort of doing this public spec take spectacle, asking for tonsf subsidies to give them a break. cheryl: mayor buildin they'ret downtown.

lauren: breaking news this friday morning, two days of trade talks between washington and beijing are now over. the u.s. delegation is set to meet with the chinese president xi jinping later today. the treasury secretary, steven mnuchin, calling the talks productive. despite no signs of real progress. there's been no decision yet on extending president trump's march 1st deadline for higher tariffs, but the white house says it is optimistic. >> they're covering all the grounds. they're hard at it. they are going to meet with president xi. so that's a very good sign. and they're just soldiering on. so i like that story and i will stay with the phrase, the vibe is good. lauren: the vibe is good. well, is it? tori whiting joins us now. good morning, tori. after all these days of trade talks are we closer to a deal or further from one?

>> i think what's most important here is that the two sides are still talking. the u.s. and china negotiations are still ongoing and that's a good thing. and seeing that the administration is open to extending that march 1st deadline is also positive because we can't rush these things. these are big structural reforms they're asking china to make and that takes time. lauren: where are the sharp differences, tori? >> the sharp differences with the two sides? the u.s. really wants to see substantial structural changes and china's wanting to slow walk that, like they always do. lauren: the wall street journal is reporting that china is seeking to woo the u.s. with a promise of big semiconductor, big chip purchases, generatessed in part, and this is interesting, by moving assembly operations or where we make the semiconductors, let's say mexico for instance, to china. so if that's the case, if that's the maneuver they're working on, doesn't that only benefit china in the end?

would we ever agree to that? >> well, i think that nothing is really off the table right now and what we really need to be he focusing on, though, is not these maneuvering trade flows but it's really the real issue, it's investment, it's tech transfer, it's intellectual property rights. we have to make sure the administration is staying on course, making sure those are the main issues. lauren: the follow-through is also a big issue. it seems china is willing to budge on this one issue, eliminating a national program that gives chinese drivers subsidies to buy cars made in china. do you see any budging on that point? >?to open up their markets to foreign competition. >> well, i think it still remains to be seen until we see some sort of announcement from the two sides but i think the most important thing here is really that any deal needs to include a removal of the tariffs that have been imposed thus far. they have been over $250 billion worth of imports to the united states are more expensive today than they were a year ago and we have to make sure that these new

taxes are not the new normal. lauren: and those taxes, aka tariffs, might go up again marcs are saying the president should increase the tariffs even if we don't have a deal to keep the pressure on china. tori, thank so much for joining us. >> thank you. cheryl: investors will be watching any developments out of beijing and of course a lot of news breaking here in the u.s. right now you've got futures in the negative. you've got the dow down 38, premarket, s&p down 3 and a quarter, nasdaq barely eeked out a gain yesterday, it's down more than 11 points right now. still ahead andrew mccabe makes explosive charges about the department of justice, considering ways to premove president trump from office. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein says that's not true. now they both may have to testify before congress. and have you ever been misconstrued on twitter? lauren: yes.

cheryl: could twitter wars soon be coming to an evened. the ceo is weighing a features that may help users clarify their tweets. lauren: tracee carrasco joins us with that story. isn't that like a retweet with a comment. tracee: it kind of is. this could be the closest thing to an edit button we ever get on twitter. the ceo said the company is thinking about the clarification feature that would allow users

to include additional context for old tweets. it could prevent inaccurate information from spreading, add valuable context to something that is being misinterpreted. still just something the company is thinking about, not necessarily something that could launch but we have seen lately so many high profile twitter users having to go back and clarify some things that they maybe said in the past. kevin hart for example withdrew from the oscars because of this. some tweets from 2010. so i think this could be something that a lot of people would find helpful. cheryl: you can delete your tweets which a lot of people do, they hit send and say wait a minute. tracee: some people have gotten too clever and are starting to save tweets that may be incriminating from the past. you can always screen shot that tweet before it's tweeted. lauren: so he's saying instead of you staying off the site

(sfx:footsteps in wet cement) (sfx:birds singing, distant dog barking) hi hi ♪(whistling tune: "don't worry, be happy")♪ cheryl: red arrows for u.s. futures after disappointing retail sales pressured markets yesterday. dow down 44 in the premarket, s&p down 4 and a quarter, nasdaq down 13. the nasdaq barely closing higher yesterday. we're going to get earnings from pepsico later this morning during "mornings with maria." taking a look at europe right now, stocks there now all in the green. germany's market actually doing a reverse course in the last 30 minutes. taking a look at asia, you had that broad selloff there that

tracked wall street's performance overnight. traders waiting for the conclusion of u.s./china trade talks happening in beijing. lauren: in just hours from now, president trump is planning to sign a border security bill, passed by congress to avoid a government shutdown that would have happened today. and the white house says the president will also declare a national emergency in order to get more money for the border wall. that move is expected to bring major legal challenges and for that part of this story we bring in jenna ellis, a constitutional attorney. jenna joins us now. good morning. happy friday. >> happy friday, lauren. great to see you. lauren: jenna, is there any way that the president can appropriate some of the money, we're hearing he's expected to ask for $8 billion through executive action. is there any way he could get some of it that avoids a legal challenge. >> well, so in the context of legal suits, of course there's going to be legal challenges.

most of these are going to be political, even if they don't ultimately win. so the opponents of president trump who don't like the wall, they don't want to have border security, they're going to challenge this even if they don't think they will ultimately prevail. they're going to try to find activist judges. the question isn't whether they can sue, it's whether they'll prevail. if we look at the constitution, we look at the national emergencies act of 1976, president trump absolutely has the authority to do this and i think it should go directly to the supreme court. they need to quash any of these lawsuits and say president trump absolutely has this power. lauren: based on precedent, what has happened when executive action and declarations of national emergency go to the high court? >> every president since 1976 have declared national emergencies. the supreme court has never once in its history either overturned or vacated a declaration from a president of a national emergency. so that's the precedent as of

today. lauren: oh, wow. i imagine this takes time. let's say he finds a way to get his money, despite the legal challenges. what's the time line here to actually build the wall? >> well, in terms of building the wall versus the legal challenges, this depends on how long it will take to actually move through the process. we've seen temporary injunctions sometimes happen which as a widespread issue a lot of lee l galegalscholars think district t judges should not have the authority to bind the nation. that's why i think this needs to go to the supreme court very quickly, allowing the executive office, regardless of who is in office, currently it's president trump, to use his executive power. lauren: when you're more or less, when you're robbing peter to you pay paul, it is something that ironically president trump criticized former barack obama in 2014 for doing. he sent out a tweet, this is from november of 2014, he

tweeted this, republicans must not allow president obama to subvert the constitution of the u.s. for his own benefit and because he is unable to negotiate with congress. so what's different this time around? >> the key words there are subvert congress. congress in 1976 through the national emergencies act and also in 2006 has actually funded and granted the ability to build a border wall and have border security and so while this issue is through congressional legislation, this is something where he's not subverting the constitution. he's abiding by congressional action. lauren: all right. we'll see. thank you, jenna, very much. have a good weekend. at fox business we'll carry the president's speech at 10:00 eastern. be sure to tune in throughout the morning and day. cheryl: let's continue this discussion. investors are certainly watching all of this as the president plans to declare that national emergency, spending $8 billion on a wall. they're also looking for signs of progress in u.s./china trade talks. let's bring in gary b. smith,

fox news contributor and gus gako is with us as well. gary, i see you there. let's start with the issue of the wall and the $8 billion and the emergency. i mean, this i would think as an investors it is more tension obviously and maybe a lack of bipartisanship in washington, we're going in the wrong direction as far as getting things done in d.c., gary. >> i agree with you 100%, cheryl. i see this as another -- i suppose another kind of shutdown crisis. there's going to be no doubt litigation on both sides to try to get this through. it's going to wrap congress and the presidency in a tangle for who he knows, weeks and months to come. it's going to tie up everything. i'm not sure that's always bad. i never mind if the government's kind of out of action, if you will, for a bit. but this is just another mess if

you will that investors are going to have to decide does it affect the economy, does it affect earnings? probably the effect is minimal if anything at all. but it's one more thing we probably don't need to worry about right now. cheryl: well, that's good. at the same time, gus, we do have to worry about what's happening between the united states and china and we're waiting for more news out of beijing. wall street journal reporting that basically these discussions with mnuchin and lighthizer in beijing a set-up for a broader agreement. they're basically doing the ground work for the president xi, president trump meeting that may happen in mar-a-lago. how patient can the markets be with these ongoing trade discussions? >> this is a complex issue and it's going to take time, even if we do come some sort of resolution in the short-term, it won't be a final resolution. it will give you a framework and there will be continued discussions. i think both president xi and president trump both want to be able to come away and say they've made progress and

there's a success. both countries are in a point right now, the u.s. obviously is doing better economically and china has seen a definite slowdown but you can see things are starting to turn there. if you look to the markets, whether it's start of commodity prices and chinese stocks, they're starting to pick up a little bit. so i think there's hope of the chinese side that things will come to a resolution sooner versus later. both sides want a resolution. cheryl: i've seen slowing inflation data coming out china as well. the interesting thing here is what if those tariffs do jump up? this is an unpredictable president, let's be honest here. what if the tariffs jump 2 a 5% on $200 billion on march 2nd as the president has so far threatened. there's reports that he may extend it but you never know with trump, you just don't. >> well, you're right, cheryl. but here's the thing. maybe i'm whistling past the graveyard on this. i don't think there's going to be much effect at all. we've already had tariffs in

place for a few months now and the market and companies have done just fine. even if all the tariffs are implemented per your remarks just now, you'd have to collect all those tariffs and there's so many work-arounds on that, both countries can ship through other countries to avoid the tariffs, just the fact of collecting them is difficult. but even if every single dollar is collected, we're talking about tariffs on that amount over a total gdp of almost $35 trillion. the dollar impact is like 0.02% of the combined gdps. i'm not going to say it's nothing because there are companies and people affected but really for both economies, it's just -- it's a blip, cheryl. it's generated a lot more headlines than i think is going to be the total effect. cheryl: i want to switch gears. we will be hearing from pepsico

today, we'll be hearing from deere. s&p 500 earnings 16% year over year even though the guidance was adjusted or exec a station versus been adjusted for most companies. how are you feeling about the numbers? >> i think we had a pretty decent earnings period based on taking numbers down which is traditionally what happened and then beating them. i'm looking at pepsico and deere. you'll get inside in terms of worldwide economy, in terms of demand on the consumer side and the commodities area which deere is a direct benefit from and you'll see internationally how things are. i think the outlooks will be more important versus what's going on currently. cheryl: a lot of the outlooks haven't been positive. that's been a story line we've had. gary, gus, guys, thank you so much. >> thanks for having us. >> thank you, cheryl. lauren: let's go overseas because breaking overnight, spain's prime minister has called for a snap election after the socialist workers party failed to pass the 2019 budget.

the vote will take place on april 28th. in venezuela, disputed president nicolas maduro revealing the country held secret meetings with the u.s. envoy. maduro said he is holding out hope of meeting president trump and he predicts he will remain in power. president trump is preparing to give a speech on the dangers of socialism in florida next week. he recognizes juan guaido as the country's president. william barr is officially sworn in to head the justice department. he was sworn in by chief justice john roberts at the oval office. his three daughters and grandchildren were also in attendance. he was confirmed in a 54-45 vote. this as deputy attorney general rod rosenstein's future is up in the air. republican leaders are calling for rosenstein and andrew mccabe to testify following an

explosive 60 minutes interview. >> i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so with the aid of the government of russia. lauren: mccabe alleged that there were high level talks about kicking president trump out of the white house. lawmakers want to know on what basis an investigation was launched. a source with direct knowledge tells fox news that, here he is, forker vice presidenperformer ve biden is almost certainly running for president in 2020. fox news learned bernie sanders will announce his decision by the end of the month. the dnc announced the democratic debates will begin in june and there will be room for up to 20 candidates. nasa is trying to jump start development of landers in order to bring humans to the moon

schools would have been negatively affected. they wanted more concessions. i think its depends on which side of the aisle you're standing on. there were a lot of jobs in the pipeline we're not going to see now. lauren: do you think basically mayor de blasio just held up a big new york is not open for business sign for future businesses, for future technology companies that might be looking to come here? >> that's a concern. i mean, there are people that are trying to recruit more tech companies to new york who think that after such a high profile deal basically imploded, that people are going to be very reluctant to look at the city. i do think in the end it is new york and i think that there are a lot of people who feel that this deal wasn't handled quite right, that all the negotiations were with the mayor and the governor, they needed more buy-in from other local lawmakers. i think companies that do want to come in will be more careful before they make the commitment. lauren: the wall street journal editorial board is saying it's a testament to new york's toxic

business environment, that's pretty powerful language. let's talk about the fallout that the residential real estate market for instance could see. i mean, after we heard about this deal, there's reports that residential contract signings were up 181% on the annual basis. what happens to all of that now? >> that's the problem. long island city's been kind of up and down. there have been a lot of fits and starts. rents were going up, folks were excited about amazon coming. now that they're not coming -- you've already had high profile pull-outs. met life was there and then they left. citibank was leasing a lot of space and now they're not doing it. and so they really wanted to kind of boost this community and this might now hurt that effort. lauren: and amazon is just walking away and we're going to see what happens with the veigh can you sigvacancy basically ri. we'll see if aoc and her friends
