>> caylee thank you both for being with us thank you, lou have a good night from new york. cheryl: it is monday, marchth. the stage is set for a u.s./china trade deal, both sides agreeing to roll back tariffs, in exchange for china purchasing american goods and protecting intellectual property. nearly two dozen are dead after a massive tornado tore a path of devastation through the southeast. a desperate search for survivors underway right now. we're tracking a winter storm that has much of the east coast waking up to a total mess. and alexandria ocasio-cortez's latest push to get her own party on the green new deal train gets

derailed with a "saturday night live" spoof and a poll showing voters are not on-board with the democratic socialist. here's how your money is moving at 5:00 a.m. u.s. stock futures pointing up this morning, optimism over a trade deal with china. in europe, you can see green across the board as well in europe and in asia, let's take a look at those numbers in asia, the nikkei and shanghai up more than 1%. cheryl: asia moving on the big news, a report on sunday that we may have a trade deal, a huge story for all of you. we would like to welcome you to "fbn"fbn: a.m.." good morning, i'm cheryl casone. tracee: i'm tracee carrasco. in for lauren simonetti. cheryl: this is the story today, a may r juror development in the u.s. -- major development

in the u.s./china trade deal. the wall street journal is reporting a deal is close at hand, with the agreement for china to make big purchases of american goods. they want tariffs eliminated. president trump may want to keep some to maintain pressure on china. tracee: president trump told a conservative audience at cpac that tariffs work. >> even conservatives, good conservatives, they don't like tariffs. i'm not liking -- or not liking. the minimum, the greatest negotiating noel th tool in they of our country. do you think china would send ththe top representatives over? tracee: the agreement reportedly would expand markets for american financial services firms, energy companies and farmers, but sources tell the journal that both sides face

resistance back home. cheryl: let's bring in riley walters of the heritage foundation to talk about this. there's been a lot of speculation, markets have been steadily rising on hopes of a deal. is this going to be a good deal, riley, from what we know? >> the devil's in the details for this trade deal. what it's looking like, we might have a deal set by the end of march. the question is whether tariffs will continue to still be around at the end of march, whether perhaps the tariffs on $200 billion worth of chinese imports will remain or perhaps all $250 billion worth of goods that are currently tariffed will be removed. i think for sure i think what markets are hopeful and what a lot of americans would like to see is a complete removal of these tariffs at this time. cheryl: speaking of markets, we should say that ubs put out a note saying that basically if this deal is finally signed, you could see a 10% global rally in stocks. we're certainly hoping for that. at the same time, it is about

the intellectual property. robert lighthizer was on the hill last week in the middle of all the other testimony we were watching capitol hill and he talked about the fact that maybe 30 pages of the 100 pages in the working document with china actually discussed the issue of intellectual property. that is the one thing that many investors have said and analysts said they're nervous about because we won't be tough enough when it comes to the theft of intellectual property. that's a big sticking point for president trump. >> it is. intellectual property, if anything, has been the great unifier of this trade sort of negotiations. it's what brought both opponents and those who agree with the trade war together around this issue. that's why we haven't seen as much pushback against the trade issue as we would have liked to see. it's one of the major sticking points. the president and robert lighthizer are tariff mening, they likmen, theylike to see ta. there are more effective ways of

handling intellectual property theft. cheryl: some think we shouldn't sign a deal so soon, that it could take almost a year to really get the best deal for the united states. other critics of the president say he needs a win on the heels of what turned out to be no deal with the north koreans. do you agree with that? >> i think the sooner the deal, the better. there's going to be a lot of speculation or a lot of people in the president's ear saying he should continue to hold out until something happens. at that point, you're two years later and you're into an election and you can't really get anything done because you waited too long. and meanwhile, the united states is losing economic strength because these tariffs are affecting americans too. and americans don't want to continue to see -- especially the farmers n. don't want to see these costs for another two years. cheryl: this poe februar poe py $10 billion energy purchase is being reported as well. on the political side, president

trump certainly has been vocal, besides the two hour speech he gave at cpac on saturday, he tweeted why he thinks things went wrong with him when it came to north korea. i'm wondering if you think that the failure with the north koreans means the chais niece cl have leverage over president trump and do you think mar-a-lago is the place we get the final agreement signed? >> i would think the president's position or i guess success with actually the u.s./canada slash mexicu.s./canada/mexicoagreemenn the future of u.s u.s./china negotiations than the u.s./north korea negotiations. certainly north korea is a bad actor. i think with china, i think a deal should be made. i think there will be one by the end of the month. cheryl: we're thinking march 27th, that's the date being thrown out for the summit

between the two presidents and the huge event happening in china where xi will be under pressure to come up with a deal for them. riley walters, thank you. tracee: we may soon have ad trade deal with china. president trump now linking his decision to walk away from the north korea summit to michael cohen's hearing. he tweeted for the democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar at the same time an important nuclear summit with north korea is perhaps a new low in american politics and may have contributed to a walk. never done when a president is overseas. shame. cheryl: like we said, very vocal president trump over the weekend. white house national security advisor john bolton was on fox news sunday and he described the hanoi summit as a success. >> what north korea has done consistently in the past is promised to denuclearize and by the way not do it to get economic benefits which provide

their economy a lifeline, get them out of trouble they're in and go back to the new career nr program. that's what president trump said he would not permit in his administration and he did not do it. cheryl: the united states and south he korea eliminating military springtime deal and replacing them with smaller exercises. president trump talked about how expensive they were. tracee: this may be helping president trump's job approval rating. a new poll shows it's up to 46% of americans approving of how he handled the job. it rose 3% from january. cheryl: we'll see how unemployment is doing when we get the jobs report this friday. but in the meantime, white house senior advisor ivanka trump talking about automation taking over jobs on the next revolution. this was last night. >> we've decided to really know cuss on the fact that -- focus

on the fact that since we have such record low unemployment, we're going to use this as a moment to get the private sector to step up, really focus on the investments they need to be making in their workforce and also work with us. the private sector knows which jobs are at risk of being automated out of existence. they need to inform us of those facts. we need t prepare the american work for for that inevitability. tracee: gymboree filed for bankruptcy in january. now the children's place and gap are swooping in to pick up the pieces. children's place will reportedly buy the gymboree and crazy 8 brands while gap will acquire the more upscale janey and jack brand. the deal needs court approval. gap's move to buy janey and jack l follows an announcement last week that it plans to spin off old navy.

cheryl: let's head overseas. venezuelan oppositioned leader juan guaido is hoping to finally return to his country today after defying a travel ban. guaido has been on a tour of latin america to rally support. he wanted to return february 23rd by delivering humanhumanitarian aid but he was stopped with tear gas. guaido is vowing to returns this morning. he's called for nationwide demonstrations against maduro. that would be timed to coincide with his arrival in venezuela. tracee: here are other headlines making news this morning. an american citizen is being held in sawe saudi arabia. the u.s. state department confirmed a dual citizen is being detained and allegedly tortured while in captivity. he was rounded up in the kingdom during 2017.

describe it. >> reporter: a woman describes the moment a tornado hit her home. >> i grabbed my dog and went and got in the closet and i'm holding the door, just in case, because it didn't close all the way and a few minutes later that's when i could hear all the wind and the house moving. >> reporter: president trump did tweet about this. he says to the great people of alabama and surrounding areas, please be careful and safe. tornadoes and storms were truly violent and more could be coming. to the families and friends of the victims and to the injured, god bless you all. violent storms also ripping through parts of florida, south carolina, and georgia where a twister actually tore through a church but listen to this. incredibly, left a pulpit standing. amazing. meantime, back in lee county, officials are using drones equipped with heat seeking devices to scan the area for survivors. that search resumes this morning. cheryl, tracee. tracee: thank you very much.

cheryl: oh, my goodness. the pul pulpit the last thing standing. we're following the massive winter storm dumping snow across the east. it's causing major headaches for the morning commute. janice dean is tracking the storm this morning. republican senator rand paul said he will vote to block president trump's emergency declaration. what this means for his border walls and one of his biggest campaign promises. ♪ all in all, it's just another brick in the wall. ♪ i can't believe it. that we're playing "four on four" with a barbershop quartet?

cheryl: a powerful snowstorm pounding the east coast overnight, shutting down schools, causing major travel problems.

tracee: 80 million people across the country are under winter weather alerts this morning. senior meteorologist janice dean is in the fox weather center with the latest. janice: good morning, tracee and cheryl. we had devastating tornadoes last night across the southeast. parts of alabama and georgia total destruction in some of these areas and of course we had a great loss of life as well. so this is going to be a big story. the warmer part of the storm brought the severe storms and this is the area where we typically see tornadoes in march. so the problem is, unfortunately, we lost some lives. that's the devastating part. the colder side of the storm, the area of low pressure brought the snow across the northeast, several inches especially in interior sections of the northeast. we're getting a bit of light snow in new york city. but most of it is now into new england. it will exit the coastline later this morning, into this afternoon. the problem, though, is that the temperatures are going to be very cold over the next several days, so anything on the ground is going to freeze and that's

going to cause problems on the roads, on the highways, on the tree limbs, that kind of thing, so people need to take precautions. the other big story of course, the cold not only for the northeast, but parts of the northern plains with the witch warnings in place. the storm is exiting the east coast. we'll deal with very cold temperatures across much of the country for much of the workweek. back to you ladies. cheryl: also there's this, folks. extreme weather in colorado as well. an avalanche barreled down a mountainside right towards the highway. these incredible moments all caught on camera. >> you got it? >> most of it. >> holy bleep. >> it's not going to come down here, is it? cheryl: it did. the wall of snow and debris crashed down into a creek, created a powder cloud near this major highway. this is outsigh o outside of de.

cheryl: let's get you caught up on global market action. u.s. stock market futures rising

overnight on a report that the u.s. and china are in the final stages of completing a trade deal. the s&p is up 6 and a quarter, nasdaq higher 29 and a quarter in the premarket. the boost could hit global stocks by 1 10% if signed. all the european markets are in the green. asia has been sensitive to the ups and downs of the trade talks. the nikkei, hang seng and shanghai all rising. tracee: president trump's border wall may face another hurdle as a growing number of senate republicans say they'll vote to block the president's national emergency declaration to fund the border wall. the president admitting at cpac on saturday that republican support isn't ironclad. >> know i'm building the wall, we're finishing the wall, we've got a lot of money. >> build the wall! build the wall! >> there will be some people in

the room that don't like this. tracee: joining us for more on this is an ders heckstrom. i want to tell what you senator rand paul said over the weekend. quote, i can't vote the to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't been appropriated by congress. if we take away checks and balances, it's a dangerous thing. senator paul said he will vote he yes on the resolution. what does this mean for the president's national emergency declaration? >> well, i think this resolution is mostly symbolic considering the fact it will go to the president's desk and he will ultimately veto it and the votes in congress to override his veto simply aren't there. this is definitely mostly symbolic. it punts the questions back to the courts which is where we thought the question would be answered with regard t to the

declaration of a national emergency. congress is on the record saying they don't think there is a national emergency, they don't support these funds. that may affect what the courts say about this ultimately. this court question could leak into 2020 and really affect or become the centerpiece of the 2020 presidential campaign. the democrats clearly want this. they think this is a winning issue for them. trump clearly thinks this is a winning issue for him. i think both sides want to exacerbate this issue and they want the court case to become the centerpiece of the 2020 campaign. tracee: you mentioned the vote. senator paul becomes the fourth republican senator to support the effort to reject the national emergency. others who could flip, mitt romney, cory gardner, mike lee. is there enough gop support? what does this say about the gop

senatt senate dissension when it comes to the president? >> they're caught between a rock and a hard place here. a lot of republicans see president trump's declaration of emergency and they hear president barack obama saying he's going to enact his will with a pen and a phone. a lot of republicans are on the record opposing president obama's executive overreach and so they want to -- they don't want to appear hypocrite call when president trump does something some people see as being similar. tracee: senator paul wrote a an op ed and he said essentially the lawmakers who criticized president obama for executive authority should be doing the same for president trump. thoughts? >> yeah, i mean, i think that's where a lot of republicans are. but this is where one of the issues is. president trump isn't going to lose with his base on this issue because he has done everything within his power and while some

would argue he's gone beyond the scope of his power to get the wall, which was the center promise of his campaign, and so i don't think necessarily he's going to lose votes in 2020 because of this, because he's pushed for this in congress and once congress didn't go his way, then he's doing this, he's doing the national emergency. and we'll just have to ultimately see what happens in the courts because this is a question that's an honest question. you'll see republicans fall on bode sides of this, whether this is actually an executive overreach. we'll have to wait and see what the courts say. tracee: thank you so much for joining me this morning. >> thanks for having me, tracee. cheryl: it was a two hour plus speech extraordinaire by the president on saturday at cpac. one of the highlights, he was telling the audience that the economy is booming, but it could be better were it not for the federal reserve. and then he pointed a finger directly again at fed chairman jerome powell. >> we have a gentleman that likes raising interest rates in

the fed. we have a gentleman that loves quantitative tightening in the fed. we have a gentleman that likes a very strong dollar in the fed. cheryl: that's where he went after him again. let's bring in jason barsieme. the president has been attacking jerome powell for months. it seems that the markets are starting to ignore what the president has to say. used to kind of make us jittery. lately it has not done that. why? >> i think the market is looking more towards what the economy is actually doing and the raw data that's coming out. you can't blame the president at the end of the day for wanting a weaker dollar and lower interest rates. every president wants that around the world. what the president needs to be careful of is to separate the powers between the white house and monetary authority. when you look at actual raw data, whether it's th core pce

inflation data, you look at jobs and manufacturing and wages, everything looks pretty good. and so i think if i'm jay powell i'm going to be holding tight which is what the market's pricing in. in fact, now there could be some probability of lower interest rates by the end of this year, now that probability's up to 20%. cheryl: the markets love to think positive. the data is there if you look at what happened in february. i want to bring in courtney comstock to join the conversation. courtney, if you look at the february numbers, we just closed out the month last thursday, pretty strong global market that we've had. u.s. stocks rising 3.7%, this is a fund based number. international stocks, 2.4%, bonds up a fraction. i guess you don't care so much about bonds in february. man, we really liked our u.s. based stock funds last month. >> yeah, there's been such a rebound from the bit of a crash

that was in the fourth quarter of last year and i think the rate, the powell coming back on what he was saying, now he's going to be more patient with rate increases and i think that just totally boosted the market sentiment and i think that's a big part of why you're seeing such a strong january and february this year and who knows about march yet, but so far, so good. cheryl: so far, so good. you sound pretty optimistic. jason, we are optimistic and the wall street journal reporting yesterday and that's why futures are rising that the u.s. and china in theory have come close a deal. robert lighthizer talked about this last week in his testimony, they felt they had made positive progress. there are some investors out there that say a deal this early isn't a great deal for the united states. there's criticism that the u.s. is giving up too much to the

chinese. where do you sit with all this right now? >> well, i don't think that the u.s. is giving up too much to the chinese. i think there's some uncertainty because 30 of the 100 page document is about i.p. protection and there's no concrete solution at least to me of how do you really protect our country's i.p. but when you look at part of the deal that's proposed is china's going to double its imports of u.s. goods. that's a home run. at the end of the day, if you look at trade deficit numbers, we're looking at one of the largest trade deficits we've ever had in the country. if trump gets his way, gets a lower dollar and increases exports to china, i think that then you're going to be able to not only reduce the trade deficit but also get back towards the target 3% gdp numb. cheryl: one of the things the journal reported was there will be a mechanism in place that say that a chinese company is barring or putting up barriers to investment from a u.s. company, that there would be kind of this review process put

in place where both sides, the u.s. and beijing officials would actually kind of weigh in on that. that's one thing. going back to the economy, it's interesting because if you look at the inflation bets that are out there, there's another great piece in the journal that came out yesterday, thatted said basically investors are scaling back inflation bets, that signals doubt about growth. is that what you're seeing? >> absolutely. i think around like across the board people are saying a slowdown is coming and inflation has been dropping ever since really the summer, it started heating up and then rate increases of course helped with suppressing inflation and it doesn't surprise me that those numbers are dialing down. that's why -- that's a big part of the reason that powell stepped back on his rate increases for 2019. cheryl: data-dependent. he was pretty careful last time he was in front of the micro

phone i think he's -- micro attorney. i think he's learn his lesson about less it more when it comes to his testimony. thank you very much. >> thank you. tracee: here are other headlines making news. speaking out at a share mow in selma, alabama yesterday hillary clinton had some harsh woods. >> this is a time my friends fundamental rights, civic virtue, freedom of the press, truth, fact and reason are under assault. and make no mistake, we are living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy. tracee: clinton's comments came as she accepted the international unity award at the martin luther king and coretta scott king unity breakfast. the democrats' 2020 playing field is getting more crowded by the day. former colorado governor john

hickenlooper is expected to announce a run for the presidency this thursday. an advisor told fox an event scheduled for this week will be a formal presidential announcement. he joins a crowded list of san dates including bernie sanders, kamala harris, cory booker and elizabeth warren. >> democrats are embracing the same tired economic theories that i'm po affected millions, d socialism. tracee: a new poll shows that americans seem to agree with vice president pence. only 18% of americans view socialism in a positive light. half view it negatively. only a quarter of americans are comfortable with a socialist as

the next president. speaking of socialists, new york congresswoman, alexandria ocasio-cortez, is in hot water for her choice of transportation. the freshman whose green new deal touts the need for environmentalism took a minivan to a st. patrick's day parade on sunday, despite having a subway station just blocks from her office. the new york post reports aoc took more than 1,000 rides from ride sharing companies like uber and lyft, costing nearly $30,000 since she announced her candidacy. ocasio-cortez tweeted, i also fly and use a.c., living in the world as it is isn't an argument against working towards a better future. the green new deal is about putting a lot of people to work, developing new technologies, building new infrastructure and getting us to 100% renewable energy. that's what's happening now. cheryl: i think new yorkers would like to see her ride the

subway more so she can share our pain. tracee: she did say it was her aunt's van. cheryl: join us on the subway, it's a ton of fun. a lot of optimism, futures moderately rising overnight over the potential deal between u.s. and china. the dow is up 67, s&p up 6 and-a-half, nasdaq up 29 and three quarters. still ad head, president trump pushing back on a surplus of investigations in washington as democrats lay the groundwork for impeachment proceeding. despite having any substantial evidence, we're going to go to washington for the latest on the back and forth there. and why are parents throwing cheese at their kids? the cheesy challenge that's taking over the internet. we'll be right back. ♪ be young, be foolish, but be happy. ♪ ou liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.
