listen. this comes as he weighs a potential run for president garrett tenney reports from washington. >> reporter: on friday, lucy flores went public with her toritorestory, claiming joe bidn planted a slow kiss on the back of her head. today, flores said while biden's behavior doesn't rise to the level of sexual assault, it was completely inappropriate and for her his latest statement misses the mark. >> my point was never about his intentions and they shouldn't be about his intentions, it should be about the women on the receiving end of that behavior. and this isn't the first time and it wasn't the only incident where he was acting inappropriately with women. >> reporter: as for his potential competition, nearly every other democratic candidate has weighed in on the

allegations, saying they believe lucy flores and several are suggesting that he will have to answer for this allegation and many others if he decides to enter the race. garrett tenney, fox news. cheryl: americans remain split over whether the mueller report has cleared president trump. a poll found that 29% of respondents believe president trump has been cleared of wrongdoing, 40% say they don't believe he has been cleared. 31% unsure. fewer americans say they have doubts about the president since the mueller probe ended. the poll finds 57% have no more doubts, 36% say they do have more doubts. the full report of mueller's 22-month investigation has not yet been released. attorney general william barr says he expects to release it mid-april an won't show it to the white house first. lauren.lauren: later today, prt

trump could shut down the u.s./mexico border. cheryl: griff jenkins joins us from washington this morning, he's got more on the white house strategy and how mexico plans to help. we don't have griff jenkins right now. we'll try to get him back a little later on in the show. lauren: want to talk about boeing? there's always a headline out this plane maker. u.s. and ethiopian officials are reportedly at odds over the investigation of the crash of the max jet. u.s. investigators say ethiopian authorities are not moving fast enough to give them data from the black boxes. sources say ethiopian officials believe americans are trying to exert control over the preliminary crash report. senator chuck schumer wants the faa to take boeing off of an faa committee. schumer saying, quote, it makes no sense for boeing or any company, for that matter, to be involved in an active investigation surrounding questions of safety while also

retaining membership on a federal committee that recommends a airline industry regulation. so you shouldn't be regulating yourself, in other words. cheryl: well, here are some other headlines that are making news this monday morning. another day, another blackout in venezuela. power went out across the country yesterday, just as it did on saturday and even the day before that. these outages prompting president nicolas maduro to announce a 30 day plan to ration electricity. he is warning against any unrest in reaction to the blackouts. one of russia's richest woman died in a small plane crash in germany. the plane crashed in a field as it approached a small airport outside of frankfurt. she was the co-owner of the airline s-7 group. her fortune estimated by forbes to be nearly $600 million. german investigators are looking into the cause of the crash.

well, no laughing matter in ukraine, early results in the country's presidential election show a comedian with no political experience with a sizable lead over 38 rivals. he is far from a first round victory but his strong showing in yesterday's voting appeared to reflect ukrainian's desire for new blood in a political system awash in controversy. new york expected to become the second state to ban single use plastic bags. it's included in the proposed 2020 state budge which governor andrew cuomo said he agreed to with state lawmakers. it would force customers at stores to pay for plastic bags if they want them. it would affect millions of people. only three new york counties

currently have a plastic bag ban. and then finally this, dumbo falling short at the box office but the disney film earned and estimated $45 million domestically, that was below analyst expectations of around $50 million. universal's "us" finished second. also in the top seven, unplanned, a christian drama. that is what is happening now. >happen.lauren: later today, pt trump could shut down the u.s./mexico border as illegal immigrants surge boo int into o. cheryl: griff jen p kin jenkin. no one knows this story better than you. >> reporter: he's not bluffing. white house advisor kellyanne con way says president trump is dead serious about closing this border. >> it certainly isn't a bluff. you can take the president seriously. here is why. you're giving those metrics.

what he's looking at is 4,000 migrants apprehended in one day recently, we're on track this month for close 100,000. we have never seen a surge like this. >> reporter: when it comes to current numbers, according to border pa l troll officials i spoke to as of last night, for the past nine days they've seen more than 1,000 apprehensions per day. but closing the border could have a heavy economic impact. it could tank markets and endanger $1.7 billion of daily cross-border goods trade with mexico. some democrats want to avoid that. >> the idea of just using bluster and statements and we're going to close down the r border, we're going to cut off aid, that's not going to do anything. let's work together, democrats and republicans. there's a lot of us who want to do it, to work together and address this problem once and for all. >> reporter: this as the president cuts aid to the tune of $500 million to el salvador, guatemala and honduras where a

majority of the migrants are coming from. mexican officials say they plan to revamp the humane tearan visa program for 2500 migrants on a limited basis starting today. i think they call it limited because that program was shut down earlier this year due to overwhelming numbers. cbp said over the weekend that 40% of their agents are being diverted away from the border security mission to care for these family units and unaccompanied minors. lauren: griff, there's also reports that another caravan is forming. so it's a big story. we thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. cheryl: griff's got that bahamas tan. want to point had that out. taking a look at u.s. futures. pretty good start so far, looking like, dow up 209 in the premarket. china manufacturing data certainly kind of helping he global march today. s&p up 22, nasdaq up 80 and three quarters in the premarket. we shall see. still ahead, in a rare move,

lauren: take a look at facebook stock, it's up a solid 27% year-to-date. this despite the company being accused of everything from discriminating against real estate consumers to helping russia interfere with u.s. elections. this weekend, facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg took to the pages of the washington post to write an op ed.

in it he says this, i believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators by updating the rules for the internet, we can preserve what's best about it, while also protecting society from broader harm. cheryl: he says the internet needs more regulation and it should be in the areas of harmful content, election integrity, privacy and data portability. let's bring in technology r expert and author of the history of the future, and there's the book cover right there, blake harris. good morning. >> thank you for having me. nice to be here. cheryl: this is a slippery road for many, internet regulation, but it has to be smart regulation. is he too late in his comments over the weekend about regulating the internet and stopping the spread of hateful content. >> for sure. like everything mark zuckerberg has said and done over the past few years, he's pretty shallow in his response and self-serving in facebook's interest and much later to the game than would you have expected for someone who actually cared about these things.

the first thing i thought of is, mark, you're calling for more internet regulation but you spent $12 million last year on lobbying the u.s. government, mostly against anti-regulation. so what's going on there? i think we can guess what's going on there, is we listed the four areas of privacy, data portability and harmful content, but didn't talk about behavior modification or what they're doing witha with algorithms. lauren: i'm going to take the flip side, the opposite side, that he feels like he doesn't have the tools or the capability of policing all this stuff himself, that he needs regulation because as we saw with new zealand, all of those -- that money on artificial intelligence and human moderators, it didn't cut it. >> no, you're totally spot-on. i kind of feel like this is him in the most self-serving way raising the white flag. the reason i call itself-serving is because this is something

they should be doing. typically, they want to be the public square. in an ideal world they would compete against other public squares and facebook would have their policies and other companies would have their policies and we would choose what they like best. he is going for interventions that he create protocols that level the playing field. it will help them more than other competitors. cheryl: i think some of the motivation may be the fact that he's under multiple investigations in the united states and abroad. the ftc could be a multibillion dollar fine. there's a business side of this as well. correct? he's trying to get ahead of, frankly, what has been a government grilling that has been nonstop against facebook since last year and cambridge analytical. >> absolutely. to use an over-simplified analogy, he's like an arsonist and he's lighting the fire saying is this bad, should i not light this fire or could you put regulations in place so i know

how big of a fire i'm allowed to start. all that said, he's not wrong. i'm not myself a big regulation guy, i'm a big free market guy but there needs to be some sort of regulation or intervention to make facebook accountable. lauren: should we go in the way of europe? essentially the rules in europe are you're in charge of your own data as the user, the consumer and the social media companies are held accountable. >> i think accountability is -- i'm glad you use that word. that is spot-on, exactly what the issue is. the new zealand horrific attack that was live-streamed, facebook has boasted about taking down 1.5 million uploads. we can talk about why there's that many people who want to share it. whether it's one upload or 1 billion uploads, they are a media company and if you had horrific content on here there would be consequences. facebook faces no consequences. cheryl: they just announced plans for new restrictions.

this is in the wake of what happened in new zealand and the live stream of the terrorist attack there in the mosque and cheryl sanburg did write a letter to new glee happened. new zealand. she said we are taking three steps, strengthening the rules for using facebook live, taking steps to address hate on our platforms and supporting the new zealand community. is that enough, in your opinion? >> i mean, if had they actually executed on that i would say it's enough. it sounds like a lot of buzz words to me. because i don't understand what they're actually going to fund men a tally do differently. how do you actually stop someone from posting a video like that? what are they going to use, algorithms? are they going to use humans? is there a seven second delay? what are they going to do. they're good at using words but i care more about actions and accountability. lauren: all right. blake harris -- >> thanks, guys. lauren: you're not happy about this. thank you for joining us this morning. cheryl: we've got a lot more coming up for you.

lauren: good monday morning. let's get you caught up on global market action overnight. strong start to the week, month and second quarter. it coming from solid manufacturing data out of china overnight. dow futures higher by 190 points, s&p up 19 this morning. more green in europe, stocks higher across the board. the ftse in london is up 50 points, parliament is set to vote on more options for brexit

as the deadline approaches. and in asia, stocks also higher, the shanghai composite up two and-a-half percent and more than 1% gains for the nikkei, hang seng and kospi. watching upbeat factory data out of china and trade talks later this week in washington. cheryl: let's a take a closer look at what's ahead of the u.s.-china trade talks, set later this week in washington as she mentioned. riley walters, a policy analyst for the asia economy and technology group with the heritage foundation and i think we're really ready to see where is the proof, where are the signatures. are you optimistic we could maybe wrap things up with the chinese vice premier later this week? >> i am optimistic. i think everyone's pretty optimistic on trade talks right now. whether a deal will be made this week is unlikely. this week is a good opportunity to sort of finish dotting the

i's and crossing the t's on this potential deal. cheryl: we got this economic news out of china, caught a lot of folks by surprise, in a good way, it was pmi at 50.5, not a contraction, that is barely above the growth line that you look for, a six month high for china and th the purchasing manager's index, despite the trade tensions, despite the fact a that the tariffs have been under threat and certain tariffs are already in place against china. what do you make of that? >> well, markets are always cyclical. there's always ups and downs. i think china is rebounding a bit from last year's down. the government themselves are doing several number of measures to try and inflate their economy right now and certainly there's a lot of questions to what the tariffs have actually cost the chinese economy. but going forward, the tariffs are having effect on their economy, just like it's having event on our economy.

it's negative, i think, to a net degree for both of us. cheryl: some of the headlines last week point to the fact that it looks like the chinese are becoming more and more willing to frankly give in to u.s. demands and treasury secretary steven mnuchin tweeting about it on friday that he's optimistic, he's not a big tweeter, we should say, so i think that was significant. markets rea acted. what do you say? >> he's certainly more of a tweeter than ambassador lighthizer is. he is optimistic on this. surprisingly so, given what ambassador lighthizer last week he gave an interview on npr, he was very optimistic on that too. so the question is, whether maybe they're being a little too optimistic. cheryl: riley, thank you very much for getting up early. a lot to go through. it's a big week for u.s.-china trade. we're watching. thank you, sir. lauren: you have the relative optimism out there about the trade talks and you also have a lot of good data coming from china. so we ask, is the u.s. economy headed for a recession?

investors might get a better idea this week. we have a lot of domestic data coming out on the economy and the health of the economy. jason barsima, the president of halo investing, he joins us now. are you optimistic? you call the economy sluggish, it feels sluggish right now. why is that? >> good morning. i do feel like it's slug i. sluggish. manufactures' been slowing down, inflation worries me. overall, when you look at the u.s. economy, we've been doing pretty well over the last 12 months but without inflation picking up, makes me a little nervous. there was an interesting article published by credit swiss that is putting the p probabilit proa recession at almost 30% within the next 12 months. now, it's a model. don't put too much weight into any model. i think it should give us pause, especially with the credit markets right now. lauren: you said your worry is there is no inflation, is that what you said?

>> yeah, at the end of the day, inflation has been sluggish. if you look at the easing that we've had and the state of the current jobs market, you would think that wages would boost up inflation a little bit. but we're just not seeing that, which is not such a bad thing. lauren: so the fed is justified with being on pause for 2019 then? >> i think so. absolutely. if anything, i think the fed's going to continue to be on pause and they should let inflation run a little bit faster, even above 2% if we can get it there. put some credit in the bank and give us ammunition if you will. lauren: if the fed's on pause and trade talks are going relatively well,s is there a fear of missing out kind of feeling among investors, let's get into stocks because looks like everything is teeing up nicely. >> there was an article in the wall street journal about the fear of missing out this weekend. i certainly think that that's the case, when you look at flows into the equity markets over the last five weeks, they've started to turn positive, although the

last two weeks have been negative. at the end of the day, the market that we've seen over the first quarter has been nothing short of spectacular. i wouldn't expect investors to see it over the course of the remaining year. i would see investors should start to tee up to expect a sideways market. the previous segment you were talking about china. i just wanted to add one fact. i just got back from a trip, four continents in three weeks, i saw a lot of different economies and within china you can see the pick-up coming from small business lending. that was a clear apparent fact. and so with all the lending and credit extension that's coming out which is kind of old hat for chinese money tri policy, that's really fueled the local economy. lauren: on the other three continents you were on, how's the economy doing? is it warranted to say there's a global slowdown based on what you saw. >> there's a global scare. i was in sing bore, dubai,

china, london, south africa. when you look at it, there's a global concern, especially around china and the united states and so i think if we can finish that up, and button that up over the course of the coming weeks, the global economy will be doing much better. lauren: jason, thank you very much. thanks for sharing your journeys with us as well. >> appreciate it. cheryl: here are other headlines making news this morning. the l department of homeland security issuing a warning that hackers can access almost any connected device including implantable defibrillators. they are vulnerable to a cyber attack and could a allow unwanted access to sensitive data or to even interfere with the device. well, as americans worry about their healthcare, the mobile app good rx announcing the most expensive drug in america. the honor going to the drug actimune at $50,000 per month. the drug is meant to treat

cheryl: former vice president joe biden pledging to listen

respectfully and denying any intention of acting inappropriately in a statement released on sunday morning, after he was accused by lucy flores of kissing her on the back of the head years ago. flores responded to biden's statement on cnn yesterday. >> i'm glad that he's willing to listen. i'm glad that he is clarifying his intentions. never do i claim that this was to the level of sexual assault or anything of that nature. what i am saying is that it's completely inappropriate, that it does not belong in any kind of professional setting, much less in politics and that it is something we should consider when we're talking about the background of a person who is considering running for president. cheryl: while she is making it clear that he's not accused of sexual assault, the question remains what is next for the former v.p. joining me now is white house correspondent amber apey. good morning. >> good morning.

cheryl: what is next for him? is this what we can foresee to come if he indeed officially declares he's running for president, this this going to trail joe biden through 2020? >> i think likely not. i think his response probably put this particular allegation to bed. and let's be clear. if you've been following politics at all for the past few years, you know there's a creepy joe biden meme where there are tons of pictures of him seemingly getting too close to women and acting in an an inappropriate manner with them. the thing that he has going for him here is this woman declined to call it a sex l wall harassment or-dark c. wal -- set or sexual assault. the dnc finance chair denied that this ever happened. he claimed that biden and flores were never alone together in a manner where he could have a acted in this way toward her. it looks like he will at least for now come out of this

unscathed. let's talk about congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. she's been making news. i want you to take a look at this poll that came out about her. as far as a favorable a rating, 23% give her a favorable rating, 36% say unfavorable, 38% said they excellent heard enough. her constituents say her heart is not there and she doesn't care about them. what do you make of that. >> the more that we see of ocasio-cortez, the more we see she is not ready for the spotlight that she's been thrust into. her repeated gaffes, whether claiming a constitutional amendment was put in place to prevent fdr from running again, after he was already dead, just shows she is unprepared for the high level of scrutiny that she's getting and these favorability polls reflect that. people forget that only 15,000 people, approximately, voted for her in that primary when she

unseated incumbent joe crowley. now that more people are exposed to her views on issues, her penchant for socialism, the more that her unfavorability rating rises. cheryl: amber, we've got to cut it short. please come back. it's always great to have you. >> thanks. lauren: it feels like spring on wall street. dow futures up more than 190 points, looking like a good day, good start to the week and the quarter. still ahead, absolute madness, the shocking march madness upsets setting the stage for the final four. we've got all your ncaa highlights next. ♪ and i poured out all the reasons. ♪ to keep knocking at the door. ♪ the changing of the seasons. ♪ i don't love you . want more from your entertainment experience?
