5:02 am
venezuela. mike pompeo has tweeted the u.s. will withdraw all remaining personnel from the u.s. embassy this week, reflecting the deteriorating situation in venezuela as well as the conclusion that the president's diplomateic staff at the embassy has caused a constraint on u.s. policy. as the crisis continues, juan guaido was on trish regan prime time of last night. he said he will seek foreign military help. >> it is part of article 187 of our national constitution, which iis crucial for venezuela, allos for an outside country to assist venezuela as we state inned the article of the constitution, which empowers me as the person in charge to employ whatever measures are necessary to enact this cooperation and this assistance for venezuela. cheryl: you're going to want to
5:03 am
watch the oil markets today as venezuela's situation unfolds, the political situation affecting that, oil up a little more than half a percent. lauren: pressure is mounting on boeing as the list of countries and airlines grounding its 737 max 8 jet grows. singapore today becoming the latest country to ban the aircraft from its air space following the deadly ethiopian plane crash over the weekend. several airlines around the globe removing the plane from their flight schedules as well. you can see the list here. but in the united states, the f a aa says it has no plans to ground the yet right now. it has ordered boeing to make urgent improvements to it, however. boeing confirming it will deploy a software upgrade to the 737 max 8 and at least two democratic lawmakers are calling on boeing to stop flying the plane all together until its safety can be ensured, a all of this affecting the stock.
5:04 am
we told you it fell more than 5% yesterday, still falling today, down 1 and three quarters percent at $392.99 in the premarket. let's bring in seth kaplan and ian king to discuss. ian, good morning. p i want to start with you. how big of a hit is this second deadly crash in five months for boeing? >> so i think as an investor, the first thing you have to think about is whether or not you would actually fly on one of these planes right now and if you your answer is no way, you should entirely avoid the stock for the time being until the investigation is complete. lauren: seth, we are seeing a lot of passengers at the airports saying what do i do, this is such a popular plane, i want to to get on a 737 max 8. is there anything airlines can do? we see them swap planes out at the last minute. >> they can. we're talking about the max, the
5:05 am
new version of the 737. most 737s that you get, the vast majority still today not affected by this. you wonder here if ultimately it could be consumer pushback that forces things to change. if have you a lot of people say hey, i'm not comfortable getting on that plane, which at this point i guess about a third of the fleet grounded around the world anyway, let's see if a that kind of pressure causes boeing, the faa or the airlines in north america to change course. lauren: do you think china has anything to do with any of this, ian? i'm asking because they are one of the countries that have grounded all of this particular jet. they're also a major investor in ethiopian airlines an the continent of africa and we have a trade spat going on with them right now. we want to ban huawei technologies. >> right. i mean, the 737 max 8 is a huge program for boeing. it represents about a third of their bottom line. they delivered over 300
5:06 am
airplanes so far. they've got 300,000 orders in backlog. this is a big program for a huge american company. i don't necessarily agree with the conspiracy theory that china is behind this but there's been two crashes in six months and even in the united states you're hearing reports of passengers in had guard ya airport that -- laguardia airport that were, quote, unquote, terrified to board the planes yesterday. there are people searching for other means of transportation if they have to take a max 8. the faa has to take a good look at this. there's other countries such as mexico that are grounding their max 8s overnight. there's eight different countries grounding the max 8. i think the issue isn't going away. there's a big drop in the stock yesterday, a little bit of a rebound, but if i looked at the options market, the vo volatiliy right now is running at its highs that it has been for the past year and i think investors
5:07 am
are really, really concerned about what the future is for boeing in the short-term, in the medium term. cheryl: what do you make of that, of the faa saying this plane is still air-worthy and some democratic lawmakers saying maybe it's not, we should ground them, and passengers being afraid? >> you hear the faa saying you've got to make urgent changes to boeing but on the other hand saying it's still safe to fly. obviously threading a needle there. i believe that if they are kind of in a narrow technical sense saying it's safe to fly, it's because they believe that obviously all kinds of risks associated with something going wrong, you know, this is an aircraft that in many ways was not a radical debar churr. this is -- departure. this is an air craft didn't want to build, felt forced to build because of defensive reasons, this put pressure on boeing to get it out in the marketplace. it sold 5,000 of them.
5:08 am
it's a similar airframe to the old planes but the system indeed a big step forward, boeing thought, in terms of addressing things that had caused past crashes and instead we don't know by the way still here with ethiopian, lion air, the anti-stall system whether it contributed to the crash itself. based on what the faa is saying, sounds like there's some suspicion that it caused this one too. cheryl: there could be parallels between the crashes. we'll wait for the results of the investigation. seth, ian, thank you, gentlemen. cheryl: now to the breaking developments out of europe this morning. britain and the european union appear to have hammered out a last minute deal overnight. british prime minister theresa may and european commission president announcing they removed the biggest road mark to the brexit divorce, that is the so-called irish backstop. now the u.k. parliament ready to
5:09 am
decide the fate of the plan to leave the e.u. >> m.p.s were clear that legal changes were needed to the back diss stop. today we secured legal changes. now is the time to come together, to back this improved brakebrexit deal and deliver one instruction of the british people. cheryl: but does she have the support. let's bring in michael. she has such a bruising he defeat earlier this year, something that you hadn't seen in the history of her country in a parliament vote. where are we now? >> i think that really is the big question, certainly i think while scanning social media this morning, any vote tonight is still likely to be very, very close to call, too close to call, in fact, because ultimately that defeat by 230 votes included 118 conservative party m.p.s as well as 10 democratic union m.p.s.
5:10 am
she's 116mps to change their votes to get the deal across the line. that is by no means certain and a lot will depend on first and foremost whether the democratic unionists will agree to the minor changes to the side agreement which clarify the use of the backstop and the attorney general's jeffrey cox to change his legal advice around the backstop itself. cheryl: michael, the pressure -- >> that's likely to be key. cheryl: the pressure has got to be on the mps at the moment. i want you to listen to what jean-claude junker said. seems like he's losing patience. listen. >> in politics, sometimes you get a second chance. it is what we do with the second chance take counts because there will be no third chance. let us speak crystal clear about the choice. it is still that brexit might not happen at all. cheryl: if he was an american
5:11 am
he would have probably been yelling that in the microphone. but he basically said this is it to theresa may. this is her last chance with him. >> yeah, m.p.s have to decide. ultimately you don't always get what you want. ultimately i think he is mistaken if he thinks there will be no brexit at all. the default position as things stand on the u.k. statute book is the u.k. leaves the european union on the 29th of march in the absence of this deal passes. if this deal doesn't go through, there will be another vote tomorrow, potentially trying to take no deal off the table and i struggle to see whether the majority of m.p.s will be able to get that through and then of course there's talk about an extension. so -- cheryl: which could happen. >> it could happen. most definitely. we could see an extension but it's likely to beyond -- it's unlikely to go beyond may 20t 20th. cheryl: i've got 10 seconds with you. the pound is really strong this morning, up about 2% against the dollar. what does that say for the
5:12 am
investor side of this? >> from an investor side of things it tells me that i think the markets think the m.p.s will blink, me, i'm not so sure. cheryl: michael, great to have your voice from across the pond on this breaking story. lauren: other headlines making news this tuesday morning, robert lighthizer heading to capitol hill, also testifying before a senate panel about the world trade oranization. it comes at a crucial time for u.s./china trade talks. lighthizer reportedly speaking with his chinese counterparts last night as no date has been set with a meeting between president trump and xi-jinping. wells fargo's ceo tim sloan on the hot seat. he's sitting before the house financial services committee, focusing on the fallout from the bank's fake account scandal, the first time a bank ceo will appear before the committee now that it's led by maxine waters and democrats.
5:13 am
sloan's future might be in question as regulators seek answers on whether he can repair the bank's image. let's see if it's repairing the stock this morning. wells fargo shares not moving in the premarket. that is an ugly one year chart. the internet celebrating a big birthday today, 30. google celebrating with its popular doodle. there's a warning, however. in a blog po post it's written t the web has brought a lot of good and also dysfunction. cheryl: let's take a look at futures before we go to break. we do have a -- we're pointing to a higher market, dow up 30 in the premarket. coming up, as the humanitarian crisis in venezuela worsens, the u.s. now pulling all of its diplomats from that country. opposition leader juan guaido has a stern warning for american socialists. you're watching "fbn: a.m.."

cheryl: the united states with drawing all american diplomats from venezuela as the country spirals into chaos after a nearly week-long blackout. lauren: todd pyro joins us with the very latest. >> reporter: a major escalation in the tension between the u.s. and nicolas maduro. secretary of state mike pompeo tweeting the u.s. will withdraw all remaining personnel from at u.s. embassy venezuela this week. the decision reflects the deteriorating situation in venezuela as well as the conclusion that the presence of u.s. diplomatic staff at the embassy has become a constraint on u.s. policy. this comes as venezuela remains in a blackout, thousands in darkness from a power outage, widespread looting causing havoc. humanitarian aid offered to help the venezuelan people refused by maduro. despite the repudiation of maduro on the world stage, some
5:18 am
countries continue to support the rogue regime. >> moscow continues to provide political cover to the maduro regime, while pressuring countries to disregard the legitimacy of juan ga guaido. >> reporter: juan guaido is warning about the perils of socialism to the american left. >> i invite everyone to he see what's going on in venezuela, the amount of displaced persons in our country and the drama that it's become, the day-to-day living of seeking out food, water, or simply having power. >> reporter: guaido has said he will invoke a constitutional provision allowing the venezuelan congress to authorize foreign military operations to intervene. that last point, one definitely worth watching. cheryl and lauren. cheryl: we're watching the oil markets this morning, todd, on all of this. todd pyro, thank you very much. lauren: in terms of stock

from the tech companies yesterday, in spite of elizabeth warren stepping up the fight against facebook in particular. cheryl: tracee carrasco has that story. i guess the banks are a good enough target for her now. tracee: facebook took down some of the ads for elizabeth warren's presidential campaign because she was saying the big tech companies should be broken up. so the ads for companies like facebook, amazon, google, they need to be broken up because they have too much power over consumers. facebook later put the ads back up after a report from politico and elizabeth warren saying you proved my point by taking the ads down. facebook said we removed the ad because they violated policies against use of our corporate logo, in the interest of allowing robust debate, we are restoring the ads. they're saying it's more about the logo, not the content of the

lauren: let's get you caught up on global market action overnight. small gains on wall street, stock futures building on yesterday's big rally, dow up 24, s&p up 5, nasdaq tacking on 24 points this morning. in europe, a mixed performance at this hour, the ftse in london down 22 points, but you can see the cac in paris is up 10 and in asia a sea of green, we are seeing big gains by the nikkei, the hang seng, and the shanghai composite. cheryl: well, president trump introducing his budget for 2020 yesterday and it doesn't project a balance to balance the deficit until 2034. a little bit later than what the president used to say. democrats in the house say this has no chance of passing. for more, let's bring in white
5:30 am
house core upon dent amber -- correspondent amber athey. reporters are talking about the fact that deficits will be at 5% of gdp in the country in 2020. the president is boosting military, veterans groups. what is the reception in d.c. to this proposal? >> right. obviously people were hammering sanders for that because they noted that president trump promised he would cut government spending and eventually bring down the record high government national debt. but this budget does eventually balance after some years, after about a decade. it's obviously not as quickly as the president promised. but it is on track to do what he said he was going to do and i talked to his senior administration official back when they were still writing this budget and what they told me is that it does contain 5%
5:31 am
cuts to domestic programs, but they do increase the military because that is another thing that president trump promised during his campaign. and they're also adhering to current spending caps. they wouldn't increase spending caps. they would fund a lot of the military budget through the overseas contingency operation fund. cheryl: you talk about eliminating the deficit by 2034, 15 years. republicans had been targeting 10 years. there's a break in the party there between the president and the republicans but of course elizabeth warren, conditio candr president 2020, came out, very vocal with how she feels about the proposal from the white house and she went after the president on twitter. she said a budget is about more than numbers many she said it's a big wet kiss to the super rich and giant corporations and it guts programs for everyone else, she's talking about the cut to domestic nondefense spending.
5:32 am
she seems a little off, talking about giant corporations and the super rich who are right now getting hit with their tax bills from last year. she seems to be misdirecting her anger here. that is a mistake? >> it's certainly interesting for her to make that argument. she pointed out that a budget is a reflection of l values. i think she's right. when you look at this budget, it is a reflec reflection of what president trump says he wants to focus on in terms of the increase in defense spending and the eventual long-term reduction of the deficit and of course that $8.6 billion requested for the completion of the border wall. the president has already secured about half of the funding required for completion of the border and this would give him that rest of the money to finish it up. cheryl: real quick, i do want to say the president did talk to brightbart in an interview, he did talk about this with regard to immigration. i want to show our viewers. he said i don't want people in this country that need welfare, we're paying for massive portions of nato, he's defending
5:33 am
his budget and talking about the need for the border wall, and for strengthening our immigration system. amber, we have to leave it there. thank you for getting up with us early. we appreciate it. lauren: time for tesla news. the ceo, elon musk, is fighting the s.e.c. his lawyers telling a judge that tweets he sent last month did not violate a previous settlement agreement. so the s.e.c. wants to hold musk in contempt of court. but his lawyers are accusing the agency of censorship and violating musk's first amendment rights. let's discuss this with attorney misty maris and usa today reporter nathan baumy. is this all about the tweet in question which was sent february said we're going to make 500,000 vehicles in 2019, is it about that tweet or is it about something more? >> yeah, it is. this is about whether elon musk is adhering to the settlement
5:34 am
which requires him to get approval for any tweets that have a material impact on the company, meaning if a tweet is going to probably move the company's stock, he needs to get tesla to sign off. they've already acknowledged that that tweet was not approved by tesla lawyers and so the he question now is was the tweet material, was it significant enough to actually move the stock and so they're debating that in court. lauren: mis misty, wasn't that information he sent out in the tweet already in the company's earnings and other filings? >> yes, and that's the argument that his lawyers have made. look, his lawyers raised all of the right arguments. i think we predicted this when the contempt motion was originally filed, that his lawyers were going to argue that this tweet was not material. so they focused on that point. the other arguments focus on -- they're saying elon musk is making a good faith effort to comply with the settlement agreement. they're bringing up a very novel and interesting first amendment argument, whether or not that's going to hold or water is a
5:35 am
question for the judge. lauren: misty, what if he is indeed held in contempt of court, what could happen to him? does he lose his ceo title? do they ban him from twitter? what happens? >> there's a wide variance of what could happen. it's really the judge's discretion and the judge has a lot of latitude here. it could be anything from additional fines, you could see an order with more teeth in it, meaning that if you violate another order or if there's a problem in the future, there's going to be severe consequences. and lauren, those consequences can be removal as ceo and actually banning him from acting as ceo to companies for a certain time period. the consequences can be very severe. lauren: nathan, i'm curious if we've ever seen anything like this before and also if you view this, nathan, as the s.e.c. maybe being a little petty here but really trying to build a case against elon musk, to probe
5:36 am
him a little bit to see if he'll over-react and do something erratic like he usually does and then they can get him with something bigger. >> well, i certainly don't think we've seen anything on this scale any time in recent memory. we have certainly seen ceos tussle with the s.e.c. the question is, is this getting personal. i think it's already personal when it comes to elon musk, he's accused the s.e.c. of being the short seller enrichment commission and has made it clear he doesn't respect the s.e.c. the question now is the s.e.c. sort of trying to get under his skin and i think that from the very beginning they did not like the way he's been handling his social media communications and they believe that he's sort of flouting the federal law on this and it's coming to a head. if someone's going to lose -- the question is, will musk be forced to do something significantly different on social media rather than just sort of scaling back a bit.
5:37 am
lauren: to think we didn't have these problems before social media. anyway, nathan, misty, thank you very much. cheryl: here are some other headlines making news this morning. new details in the sexual harassment cases at google, the tech giant paying two top executives $135 million. they left the company after the allegations were revealed. the price tag we found out is part of a shareholder lawsuit at the time, the reasons for those departures were covered up. democratic house leadership smacking down speculation they may try to impeach president trump. speaker pelosi saying president trump, quote, just isn't worth it. those comments drawing criticism from freshmen lawmakers like alexandria ocasio-cortez, house majority leader steny hoyer took a swipe. stacy abrams says a 2020

cheryl: the labor department set to release the february consumer price index. that is a key inflation gauge, that's going to be 8:30 a.m. eastern time this morning. core cpi that excludes food and energy expected to rise 0.2% from january. let's bring in joe mcclain, cliff hodge, guys, good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: great to have you here. cliff, i'm going to start with you. we're expecting this inflation reading this morning and, again, these government reports after the shutdown, we're getting them back going. what are you expecting from cpi and how important is it, cliff? >> good morning. it's great to be with you and great to start getting back on a normal data schedule. we are anticipating cpi to
5:43 am
basically come in line with consensus estimates but we do think there is a risk that inflation picks up in the latter half of the year, as we continue to see wage growth which is a very important factor continuing to creep up. cheryl: that's interesting you say that. that's what the fed is watching. right now, the markets are saying there's not going to be any rate hikes for the rest of the year. but that could change the game. all right, joe, i want to move on to what's happening with technology. i want to show our viewers this move we've seen in tech, in particular with the nasdaq yesterday. we have the nasdaq actually having a strong performance. apple gaining strength, nvidia up almost 7%. we've seen good news in technology. so this is a positive for these beat-up tech investors. but we've got news this morning that mike pompeo has warned germany and the u.s. is warning germany about using huawei technology. i want you to listen to what mike pompeo said to maria bartiromo about huawei and the
5:44 am
issues we have with them. maria: if you are in high level talks about national security with poland, with the five is, americans' information is out there too because china tapped into their network. >> there's a second piece we shared with them. if a country adopts this and puts it in critical information systems, we won't be able to share information with them. cheryl: this goes back to the issue of u.s./china trade negotiations and our stance against huawei. does that concern you, as a market participant this morning? >> i think it does concern us. at the same time, all of us are trying to add higher levels of transparency, higher levels of accountability, i think it's in our best interest as investors and both in those trade discussions between choug chinad the united states. technology is something that continues to evolve over time. it's not something all of us trust personally. we don't know how that works with all our personal data. the more high level scrutiny and
5:45 am
