that would not impose expensive training costs on airlines because of the similarity to previous 737 models. separately, boeing is saying it will install an extra warning light in the cockpit of all 737 maxes. previously, the manufacturer charged extra for that safety feature which involves wiring not just one, but both angle of attack sensors to the m-cast flight control system. we know a fault ian gel of attack sensor had been replaced on the lion air max the day before it crashed. it was bad data which led to the cascascading series of events tt doomed the plane. as if boeing needed more problems, the inspector general said it is launching an investigation that the acting defense secretary, patrick sahn than, improperly promoted his former employer, boeing. he allegedly encouraged the pentagon to purchase more boeing

>> reporter: good morning, cheryl and lauren. anheuser-busch has sent fox news and fox business a statement in response to the lawsuit. it reads in part, quote, we stand behind the bud light transparency campaign and have no plans to change the advertising. here's one of the ads. >> to be clear, we brew cooers lighcoorswith corn syrup. >> reporter: miller coors pushed back, explaining corn syrup is used in the fermentation process, not the final project. in its filing they said anheuser-busch launched a false and misleading advertising campaign. in a statement the company said, quote, this deliberate deception is bad for the entire beer category. we are showing the world the truth. after the first ads aired it got even more personal for coors which was born in golden, colorado. anheuser-busch put up billboards with a similar message, some right in the heart of coors

country. they read coors light uses corn syrup, bud light, we don't. then this week miller coors hit back with ads that show acr tore--actors playing the bud lit and others walking off the commercial set to crack off a coors light. >> if you look across food and beverage, there's an expectation on transparency. we think beer is behind. >> this is not about transparency. this is a marketing ploy by bud light. >> reporter: critics inside the beer industry say this is a distraction from an overall problem of slumping beer sales. cheryl. lauren. lauren: thank you very much. let's get to other headlines this morning. president trump says the u.s. is recognizing israel sovereignty. maria bartiromo sat down with president trump yet for an

lauren: president trump attacking the federal reserve once again. he told maria bartiromo that the economy would have posted even stronger growth, 4% growth for last year, if it weren't for the fed's rate hikes. let's bring in scott sheledy. he joins us now from the cme bright and early. good morning, todd. >> good morning. lauren: two questions. do you agree with what the president told maria bartiromo, that we would have seen 4% growth if it weren't for the fed, and do you care what the president has to say with that respect? >> he was anti-rate hikes all along. he might have accidentally been right on this one. the feds' job is to make sure we stay in their mandate. they wanted to see lower unemployment and they have. we had a lot of people that are

still getting this wrong. i think the top five insurers in the country like prudential and met were forecasting still this year a 10 year yield of 3 and a quarter to 3 and-a-half percent. we went to 2 and-a-half as we speak and the german 10 year went to zero. a lot of smart people got that wrong. i think ultimately the fed's taking a 180-degree turn, they've put the doveish key back in and ultimately we'll be 2 and-a-half to 3%. i don't think 4% would have been in the cards. that would have been a big stretch of. i think 2 and-a-half is still on the books and if we get a little lucky, maybe 3. lauren: there's so many external worries and concerns, like brexit. this just fascinates me. i know you spent a lot of time in great britain. so the e.u. will give great britain more time to leave the trading block. they delayed the threat of the hard brexit which was supposed to happen a week from today.

but what actually happens here? because parliament already voted down theresa may's deal two times. so what happens? >> twice, yeah. she was thumped twice. it wasn't like she was even close. here's what everybody's in the states has got to realize. what they had happen with brexit it was like donald trump getting elected here. can you man i think if after donald trump won the election it had to be ratified by congress. that's what happened with brexit. it has to be ratified by parliament. most of parliament didn't want to leave the european union. what a mess they've got on their hands. they have had two years to figure it out and they haven't. from the man on the street in england, i talk to a lot of those guys, cab drivers and the likes, they're just fed up with the whole thing and they would like to see a hard brexit. there is scare mongering about what would happen, drugs can't get into the hospitals, people are starving and dying, like you would imagine, but at the end of the day they voted to leave.

this what is the people wanted. now you've got the risk that parliament goes against what they've been there to do and stand up for the people. that's a big deal. so that's why it's in the headlines. i think that the man on the street wants out. they would take a hard brexit over more of this delay, delay, delay. ultimately, the sewer there, the swamp doesn't want to leave the european union and they would like to delay as long as possible to maybe change the outcome. does that sound similar to something here? lauren: it does. the e.u. is basically saying, you know what, the longest delay that you're going to get as of now is may 22nd, if you can get your deal pushed through on try number three. the french president is saying the chance of you doing that, theresa may, is -- he puts a number on it, scott, 5%. one more for you. i want you to listen to something that alexandria ocasio-cortez, freshman congresswoman said last night. >> they're trying to say that the green new deal is about what we have to give up, what we have to cut back on, when in fact the green new deal itself is a resolution to be more expansive.

lauren: what do you make of that? we always have to get aoc in here, scott. >.what we have to give up. >> i'm surprised to hear her say the word more expansive. that's what they want to do, they want to control everything. this may sound like socialism. they want to control everybody, everything is going to be expansive. they've taken the veil off of that. they know what to do with your money better than you know what to do with your money. allstate remember, that's the intellectual elites think. lauren: the cost of it. final question, where have you been that you have that tan? >> i was in scottsdale for three weeks. it was nice, put it that way. lauren: have a great weekend. reminder, you can watch maria bartiromo's entire interview with president trump 6:00 a.m. this morning on "mornings with maria." cheryl: we've got more coming up, dar dare devils plunging toe ground when a high wire stunt

goes terribly wrong. and we have a video showing each pulse-pounding moment. stick around for that. another blow for boeing, after a multibillion dollar order for its max jets probably will be canceled. is this just the tip of the iceberg of loss of trust in boeing? ♪ fly like an eagle. ♪ let my spirit carry me. ♪ i want to fly. ♪

lauren: good friday morning. the nasdaq and s&p 500 will open at the highs of the year but are set to lose half a percent each at the open. the dow's weekly gains are in jeopardy this morning. dow down 139. european leaders give great britain a short extension to their exit from the european union, the ftse in london is down 55 points, the dax is down 68. in asia, we had a mixed --

actually, all up, i apologize. a tenth of a percent gains essentially across the board. cheryl: the scrutiny on boeing growing as the company works to address the fallout from two deadly crashes of its 737 max 8 jet. seth kaplan, an aviation journalist, joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: so many questions about this. i want to get to the breaking news overnight that gruda, the flagship carrier of indonesia, wants to cancel 49 jets that had already had on order. from a contractual basis, can they just cancel it without some penalty? i would assume they would take a penalty. they've already taken delivery of one. what is your instant analysis of this story? >> kind of scary, the idea that this could be the tip of the iceberg. we'll have to see if that's what happens, if this does open the floodgates or if they remain a one-off. they are sold out on this aircraft for the next five

years. if they had one airline trying to cancel, they could have somebody else paying more for the same jets. in this situation, we're not going to see another order until boeing gives everybody comfort with the idea that this plane can be safe. boeing is fortunate, that it is part of a duopoly. boeing and airbus are coke and pepsi. there is no store brand when it comes to aircraft. and if they ordered a 737, it's because they have a lot of other 737s, the older version, so they're going to want to tend to stick with it. it can be expensive to switch to airbus. we've seen a lot here in the past few weeks that obviously we wouldn't have expected not too long ago. cheryl: it's the jetways, it's the training of the pilots and the crews, it's the mechanics. there's so much involved in the upkeep of an aircraft, rightly so. you're correct that a lot of airlines are going to likely stick with boeing. i think there will be a financial penalty. i want to move to what boeing is

doing. they reportedly are going to add a warning light to the 737 max. it would basically tell pilots when these two sensors are in conflict and that the measure of the plane, what the sensor are saying, the measuring of the plane, the nose down is in conflict with what the sensors are telling you. is that a fix? how fast can they make that happen? >> that was already an option, one that lion air and ethiopian airlines didn't take. people obviously asking why should something mission critical like that be an option rather than standard. what's harder to say, whether or not that would have prevented the crashes. with lion air, the pilots clearly knew that something was wrong, they knew that they were getting a bad reading, the problem was they couldn't override the system. hard to say whether that would have prevented the crash. you would like to see something like that standard going forward. cheryl: i'm not so sure, not to question two people that are no longer with us, but at the same time there are reports that that

ethiopian airlines pilot, the recent crash, he had never even been in a simulator for a boeing 737 max. i would think that would be standard training. >> yeah, that was part of the pitch here from boeing, was that you didn't need simulator training for this new aircraft. in this case, he was based on these reports due to get the max 8 simulator in particular later this month. we all know what happened there. so again, would he have been able to successfully override the system, we don't know. but we see here that boeing was on one hand trying to represent this as an easy drop-in into the fleet and on the other hand pilots clearly didn't fully understand the system. cheryl: they made so many technical changes to the max and to your point about the 737, it's the workhorse of the avenue united nations industry and it's been around for decades and it's been up to this point a solid aircraft. this story gets more and more

perilous. thank you for getting up early. we appreciate it. lauren: could also factor into the chinese trade talks. the u.s. trade representative, robert lighthizer and treasury secretary steven mnuchin set to visit beijing next week for another round of high level trade talks and then chinese vice premier will travel to washington after that. let's bring in economist tori whiting. we have all of these talks set up. do we expect any action? >> well, i think that they're signaling that we might have some sort of agreement later on into march. this keeps getting pushed back, obviously, and it really comes down to the president making clear that he wants this to end and he and president xi sitting down and signing an agreement together. so that's really was we're waiting for. we're waiting for the lower level negotiations to conclude so that the two leaders can come and sign the dotted line. lauren: the negotiators on team trump are down-playing a quick deal. why do you think that is?

>> well, i think that there's still a lot of negotiations to happen. so far we know we have some sort of agreement on corn circumstance but -- currency, but not a whole lot of movement or noise on intellectual property rights protection or broader changes to investment restrictions. so those are the key issues we're looking at seeing more details on. lauren.lauren: the easier parts deal is to get beijing to buy more of our stuff, right? and there's a report out there that the president wants them to buy $1.2 trillion of u.s. goods. is there demand for that in china? and tori, this is how i'm going to tie in the boeing story. after what happened, the chinese buy a lot of our boeing jets, after the boeing 737 max dilemma tragedy, are they really going to continue to buy those planes? >> well, here's the thing. i think that this focus on purchasing agreements and this focus on the trade deficit is

really red herring in the negotiations. the negotiations need to focus on the long-term structural changes in china. buying things is a good thing. the market will demand what should be bought and sold between americans and the chinese people. the negotiations need to focus on structural reforms. lauren: the president has said tariffs are going to stay until we can guarantee that whatever deal they come up with, that there's enforcement of it, that the chinese agree. how do you think the chinese really feel about us saying, yeah, we're not taking these tariffs off anytime soon. >> lauren, as you know, i said on this program many times that there should be no agreement between the u.s. and china unless it includes a removal of the tariffs from both sides of the pacific. it's absolutely essential. this week actually the council of economic advisors came out and said the trade wars, the many trade wars have amounted to taxes on the american people of

an additional $14.4 billion in 2018. that's absolutely unacceptable, 70% more expensive to buy from abroad for the american people than it was a year and-a-half ago. this cannot stay in place. lauren: you say take the tariffs off, they're hitting you and me. tori, thank you very much. have a good weekend. >> thank you. cheryl: here are some other headlines making news for you this morning. president trump standing by his criticism of the late senator john mccain. our own maria bartiromo sat down with the president for an exclusive interview. she asked for an explanation. maria: you spent a good portion of your time in ohio the other day, trashing john mccain. senator john mccain is dead. why are you doing this. >> it's not a good portion of my time. if you realize three days ago it came out that his main person gave to the fbi the fake news dossier, it was a fake, it was a fraud, it was paid for by hillary clinton and the democrats.

maria: he's dead. he can't punch back. cheryl: you want to catch maria's full interview, the exclusive interview with president trump, that comes up 6:00 a.m. eastern time, "mornings with maria." about 22 minutes from now. president trump signing an executive order supporting free speech on college campuses. but some are concerned that the order may have a cooling effect on expression and research on campus. the president of the american council on education telling the wall street journal it could lead to unwanted federal micro management of university research projects. well, new video has been released of a high wire act gone wrong. the sarasota sheriff's office releasing the footage of the 2017 incident where five people were injured severely. nik wallenda said it was a miracle that everyone survived this. it is believed that a member of the act blacked out during practice and that caused the eight-person pyramid to fall. and as no bras no people work oy

efforts, two men are calling what they found a gift from the heavens. they found a mini bridge with ice cold beer. the men cracked open a few cold ones, they took photos for social media. they enjoyed the beer. it's a silver lining in what's been devastation for the state. cheryl:.lauren: she just lande cover of time magazine. alexandria ocasio-cortez said she never experienced american prosperity. we're going to he debate that coming up next. the baseball rivalry continues even when you don't play for the team anymore. how the red sox are trying to rain on former yankee a-rod's engagement parade. you're watching "fbn: a.m."

cheryl: as home buying is slowing amid rising talks, 2020 democrats are looking to tackle affordable housing on the campaign trail. for more on this, let's bring in mitch rochell. aoc is on the cover of time magazine april 1st. the first thing she does is say

that an entire generation which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in america, came of age and never saw american prosperity. i have never seen that or experienced it really in my adult life, prosperity, home ownership. many young americans are buying homes. she's got this new york view and she's pushing it with the green new deal. >> she definitely has that new yorker magazine -- speaking of magazine covers, she's got the new yorker magazine cover view of the world, like there's new york and everyplace else. housing is expensive in new york. there is an afford ability issue across the united states. the median price for a house across the united states is less than $250,000. cheryl: she's not running for president but 2020 candidates are. elizabeth warren wants to make affordable housing a big part of her platform. will that resonate throughout the entire country? >> it's a hot issue, because there are -- if you think about

numbers, household formation statistically is when children move out of their parents' house, we've formed 3 million new households than we've built of new supply. we're not building enough supply. rents are going up as a result for people who want to rent. housing prices are going up for people who want to buy. there's an affordability issue, no question about it. i think that resonates with the entire electorate, whether you're in a blue state or red state. cheryl: so it does, and the wall street journal does point out that younger borrowers in expensive cities like new york city, san francisco, really aren't able to buy. but many 60-year-olds in new york city and san francisco can't afford to buy. >> if you're in big gateway cities, you could be frozen out of the market because prices are high. cheryl: elizabeth warren, i want to play this sound bite, she had this cnn town hall earlier this week and she talked about the housing issue. i want you to listen specifically to her words about it. >> i believe what we should do

is we should make a big investment in housing and by the way, if we do that independent analysis from moody's says that we would lower rents across this country by about 10%, that's across the board, and we would create an opportunity for more people to become buyers. cheryl: is that true? >> the only way you lower rents is to flood the market with supply. because the way -- real estate is very simple, it's a supply and demand equation and we don't have enough supply and there is a wall of demand so that's why prices are going up. the only way to really lower rents is to throw a ton of supply in the market. the question is, who's paying for it. cheryl: you've got a construction labor issue still. that's why costs have been going up. you don't have the bodies to get out there and build the homes. >> you have restrictive zoning in municipalities, which makes the land price just to come out of the ground very high and you have building materials are going up. so all of the component parts of

housing havely sense have risent difficult to add new supply. cheryl: median home prices up 41%, rent's up 21%. whether building an apartment complex, single family home, that is a cost issue. >> silver lining, interest rates are down. so interest rates are down, three quarters of a point from about the high when they hit over 5. so there's a silver lining there. cheryl: we're trying to find silver linings. mitch, good to see you. lauren: investors like silver lining too. i guess no interest rate hikes is a silver lining. we had gains for the week. the dow is down 132 points this morning. the nasdaq was up five days in a row but it is down on day number 6, down 31. is your ncaa bracket busted? the madness unleashed in a pretty fiery first round. pete's shaking his head. you always see words florida man
