we thank you for joining us. we hope you will join us tomorrow, thanks for bei cheryl: here are your market movers at 5:00 a.m. could the trade war between the u.s. and china soon be over? president trump set to meet with china's vice re-meye premier to. the crisis at the border intensifying with nearly 200 apprehensions in just hours in the rio grande valley. we have a look from the epicenter of a national emergency. well, if you've ever dreamed about getting a good night's sleep, the answer may lie in your pajamas. the late testhe latest tech-savo get you rest.

if you thinke think a few glassf wine a day is good for you, think again. details on the latest study ahead. "fbn: a.m." starts right now. ashley: good morning, let's take a look at how your money is moving at 5:00 a.m. the u.s. stock market futures right now pointing just slightly lower. the dow off 17 points, the s&p and nasdaq down about a tenth of a percent. take a look at what's going on in europe, more of a downward trend there, the ftse in long down 4 a 5 45, the cac and dax g lower at this hour. in asia overnight, generally positive, moving higher and just the hang seng down about two-tenths of 1%. cheryl: welcome to "fbn: a.m.." i'm cheryl casone. ashley: i'm ashley webster in

for lauren simonetti. cheryl: we've got breaking news for you right now. we're getting details of a preliminary report following the crash of a boeing 737 max jet last month in ethiopia. this report coming from ethiopian authorities, says that the plane repeatedly nose-dived before it went down and the flight crew performed all procedures that boeing recommended but could not control the jet. the anti--stall feature is being blamed. all max jets have been grounded worldwide until a software fix from boeing can be approved by the faa and other regulators. ashley: trade talks between the u.s. and china appear to be making progress, potentially ending the bitter trade war. the top economic advisor telling reporters china admits the u.s. has a point on intellectual property theft and other issues. >> i think the chinese have acknowledged these problems for

the first time. they were in denial and -- all of them. all of them. the i.p. theft, the forced transfer, lack of ownership, the cyber hacking, they've acknowledged it. cheryl: a sticking noint the negotiations -- point in the negotiations, punitive tariffs the administration is demanding to make sure china holds up their eastbountheir end of the . president trump set to meet with the chinese vice premier today at the white house you'll be able to see that live on fox business at 4:30 eastern time. the wall street journal reports president trump may announce plans for a summit with president xi-jinping also today. let's bring in michael zanto right now. you say you're optimistic that the u.s. and china can reach a deal. we should say, based on the reporting we're getting this morning, that the president may

be announcing the summit, seems we could be at the end of the game here. >> i think it's very possible. the trade relationship between china and the united states is very important to both parties. so there is a lot of incentive for china and the united states to reach an agreement here. cheryl: well, what is that agreement going to look like, though? a lot of industry experts are nervous that the agreement won't be enough to encourage the chinese to enforce the idea of whether it's intellectual theft, forced shared technology with chinese companies and concerns about the agricultural buying that the chinese may do because they'll be in control. could this potentially give china too much control? >> it could. but we should have control here because we have quite significantly the largest economy in the world and when you look at it, we're a much, much wealthier country than china. they need access to our markets more than vice versa. we do profit a lot from a trade

relationship but they need us mother than we need them. we don't want an adversarial relationship with china. cheryl: we've seen kind of a pick-up in u.s. and chinese manufacturing data and when you look at something like a that, which would be surprising, considering the relationship right now and there are tariffs in place, the only slowdown appears to be in europe from an economic perspective. does that mean maybe the pressure is kind of off of the chinese a little bit because they're showing strength in their economy? >> i mean, there is pressure here. but what i also worry about is throwing the baby out with the bath water. we don't want to harm the relationship to the extent it harms our economy, their economy or the global economy and we really want china eventually to be a captain lift capitalist, ps society, because they can better afford to buy american goods and

they want them to see us as a partner, rather than an enemy. so we just have to try to balance things. intellectual property is a very real issue. they've been cheating. we need to punish them for that. but we don't want to destroy the trade relationship at the same time. cheryl: yeah, there's a long leash we might be giving them here, 2025, that's a ways away. thank you very much for being here this early. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. ashley: let's get a look at the crisis at the border in the rio grande valley, this comes as the trump administration is battling illegal immigration and pushback from the democrats. cheryl: griff jenkins is live texas, seeing how difficult the job has become for border agents. >> reporter: good morning. there's a perception that the majority of the asylum seekers, many from central america, are surrendering peacefully and they are. there's been 12 freigh 12 straif

apprehensions. border patrol agents are stretched thin but it doesn't stop them from their drive and determination. >> we found a group, this is the first one we found, just nothing but thorns, bushes, bugs, snakes, spiders, this is the spotlight, you can see, there they are. >> this one tried to run. this one was hiding underneath the brush to my left. this one right here got up from the brush and took up running but i was able to get him before he got away. >> this is the brush underneath here, where i am, where the last illegal crosser was laid down and herman had to crawl in like this and go through the bushes and thorns, it's treacherous. >> reporter: there were 11 migrants believed to be in those woods we were in for hours. they got eight of them. we had over 180 total

apprehended with the crew we were with yesterday. there's been 12 straight days of 1,000 plus apprehensions. that's 12, possibly 13,000. it's overwhelming the system. they only have capacity for 3300 in detention facilities to hold them. they've got more than 6,000. the numbers are going in the wrong direction. this as fears over the border closinclosing in texas are moun. ted cruz says the answer is not to punish those who are legally crossing the border and the answer is not to punish farmers and ranchers. it would harm american commerce and trade between mexico and the united states. mexico is texas' largest trading partner to the tune of $187 billion. this as dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen travels to yuma, arizona today to visit with cbp

officials there. this drama is far from over. ashley: griff jenkins giving us an up-close look at the battle at the border. cheryl: three more women claiming former vice president joe biden touched them inappropriately. four other women said biden touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable. the former v.p. responded to these allegations. >> social norms have begun to change. they've shifted. and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset and i get it. i get it. i hear what they're saying. i understand it. and i'll be much more mindful. cheryl: well, the three new accusers say his statement that you just saw a piece of there isn't enough. ash let's' take a look at. ashley: carlos ghosn back in police custody. authorities descending on ghosn's tokyo apartment this morning, saying he was arrested on suspicion that he used a

$5 million of nissan's money for personal use. ghosn was released on bail just in early march after spending 108 days in custody on other charges. the arrest comes just a day after ghosn took to twitter, vowing to tell the truth about everything a at a press conferee next week. british lawmakers voted to ask theresa may to ask e.u. for another tension for the brexit process. a bill passed by just one vote. it will prevent theresa may from pulling britain out of the european union without a deal. britain is currently due to leave on april 12th. nato secretary general admitted president trump's push for nato allies to increase their defense spending has made the alliance stronger. in a historic address to congress, he also told lawmakers the european allies and canada have spent an additional $41 billion in the last two years and by the end of 2020 that number will rise to

$100 billion. house democrats demanding the irs provide president trump's personal and business tax returns, congressional republicans accuse the democrats of weaponizing the tax law. the president dismissing the news? >> is that all? >> that's all. >> usually it's 10 so i guess they're giving up. we're under audit despite what people say. we're working that out. ashley: congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez suggesting that democrats won't take no for an answer, she boiled her view of the situation down to a mock conversation between congress and the president and ending it by saying we didn't ask you. a major milestone for elon musk's spacex, the company firing up the mars space ship prototype for the first time in texas. the roar so loud, it rattled windows miles a away.

it is a small test version of the rocket which spacex hopes to land on nature's a few years. cheryl: taking a look at u.s. futures on your thursday, here we go. this is how trading is shaping up. dow down 30 in the premarket, s&p down three and-a-half, nasdaq down 14 and three quarters. still ahead, elon musk's battle with the s.e.c. over contempt charges heads to court today. that's not the only problem for the tesla ceo. the company reported its biggest sales drop in its history. and if you've ever used one of those dn a a testing kits, you're going to want to hear this. why one company says it has a right to share your very personal information. it's all coming up on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ hey, set me free, why don't you babe. ♪ let me be, why don't you,

ashley: tesla's production and deliveries in a word, falling, the company made about 77,000 vehicles in the first quarter, down 11% from the last quarter, but it only delivered 63,000 vehicles. that is down more than 31% from the fourth quarter. tech analyst and founder of big eyed wish, ian wishinggrad is joining us now to talk about this. thanks for joining us. those numbers don't sound great. what was your take-ayeaaway on l of this? >> my take-away, a lot had to do with the tax credit. it was a deal to buy a tesla. the government incentiveized people to do that. the other issue is simply i think the badge of a car, people would drive a mercedes on bmw, it says something about you, tesla is a little pedestrian now. it used to have a bat mobile presence that was special to you.

now, a lot of people can afford one. i think the caches a little gone. now they're in a real war as the competition comes as a reality. it will be interesting to see how the survive this. ashley: is the future of tesla based on the model 3, the car of the masses, is that where the future for tesla lies? not only do they have trouble getting these things produced but as we see from those numbers, it's getting them delivered. it's frustrating if you're on a waiting list forever. >> i was on a waiting list. it took too long, so i had to get a car in the interim. ashley: do you have one now? >> no, i got off the waiting list. the mid-size suv is the future as well, the model y. a car in that price range is what you need to survive in the long term, not a $100,000 car for the world. the other factor is gas prices, as everyone really rea acts to those, but the bigger situation is a lot of the legacy car

brands are coming out with the technology. they were these ipods on the road for a long time. they had a huge lead. now there will be a lot of other brands in competition. y long is famous for saying i've never run an ad, i'm anti-advertising. he's had his own problems. the tesla brand will have to stand on its own two t feet. i wouldn't be surprised if the guy that was anti-advertising finds a way to market the car. ashley: he's also battling the s.e.c. over contempt charges in his continual tweeting about things they say you shouldn't be tweeting about. how does that play into all of this, how much of a distraction? >> it seems like because he beat the first s.e.c. charge, this will not break through on the news cycle so much. he'll get fined again. they might slap him and say you can't use social in a certain way but he's the kind of guy that will never be silenced. he will find some way to get the word out. we want to follow these people. y long ielon is the steve jobs.

we want to find these, quote, heros of our time. ashley: he likes to poke the finger in the eye of authority. >> yes, that's the situation. this is good for the -- the more noise he makes, the better. ashley: there's a waiting list in this done which suggests -- in this country which suggests there is demand. the international deliveries, he's got to clear that up, right? >> the difference between building a brand and a car and getting it delivered, this is a crazy business he got himself into. that's why closing the doors on certain dealerships, he's batoning down the hatches, it's war for survival for the next few years. ashley: thanks so much for being here. cheryl: we've got a lot more coming up this morning. facebook reportedly teaming up with a newspaper in an effort to get the company some good ink. the stunning details on this one coming up. while congresswoman alexandria

negative headline this week that we've seen from facebook. but yes, according to a report from up-guard, a cyber security firm, they found that two third party facebook app developers were found to have been storing facebook user data, using amazon's cloud computing services. which basically made it accessible, made it public to anyone if they figured out how to get into that information. so with these third party apps, one of the companies they exposed the records of some 540 million records, things like comments, likes, account names, on these amazon servers. another app reported to have unprotected facebook passwords of 22,000 users exposed. facebook though saying they are going to be working with the app developers to make sure that this doesn't happen because it's a violation of their policies, obviously. ashley: there is no privacy anymore. that's my theory. with a all the backlash, facebook is making attempts to redeem itself in as positivity

campaign. what does that mean? tracee: they are trying. facebook is paying british newspaper the daily telegraph to run a series of positive stories about the company. dozens of stories on controversial issues like cyber bullying, terrorism, hate speech. they say it's part of a larger marketing campaign effort in the u.k., trying to educate people, bring more awareness. i think they may want a little good p.r. cheryl: get the regulators off their back in the u.k., another good reason. just a thought. sharing jeans is one thing but sharing dna results is a completely different situation. tracee: last month, family tree dna, one of the dna testing companies, they changed the rules to allow customers to not have to share the information with the fbi but now they've got a new campaign, a pitch to customers, saying why don't you help the fbi, why don't you help law enforcement solve crimes by sharing your dna. they're actually going to be

running commercials, there's a new campaign called families want answers. the face of that campaign is ed smart, the father of elizabeth smart who was abducted back in 2002. his pitch is why don't you help families with children who might have been victims of these crimes. the company even -- the founder and president saying, quote, the gene controlling community has the ability to crime source. if we could bring closure to families then we feel the company has a moral responsibility to do so. ashley: interesting. cheryl: tracee, thank you very much. ashley: let's take a look at u.s. futures for you right now, ahead of the trading day on this thursday, pointing lower, modestly so. the dow, the s&p, and the nasdaq all down about a tenth or two. all right. coming up next, we are learning more about the ethiopian airlines crash and investigators seem to be pointing the finger as boeing for its 737 max jet.

cheryl: global market action this morning, ongoing hopes for a u.s.-china deal pushing markets higher, a little pressure this morning due to ongoing concerns about the manufacturing activity. dow is down 35 in the premarket, s&p down 4 and a quarter, nasdaq down 16 and three quarters. in europe, there are hopes that britain will not crash out of the e.i. and a hard brexit is going to be avoided. right now, they're in the red. in asia, investors watching news out of the white house later today, president trump meeting with china's vice premier, 4:30 p.m. eastern time. ashley: h president trump is t to meet with the trade negotiator today. we've said it before, maybe this

is it. dominic tavella joins us now to talk about that and other things. good morning, dominic. let's begin with the trade talks. it does feel like a little more optimism now about what's going on. what's your take? >> it's been a grind, right. this has been going on now, what, six months and it's progressed. they've made key progress, according to mr. kudlow, key progress on very important ideas. there's some sticking points, especially the fact that the u.s. wants to keep unilateral decision making process if they feel like china is not going to comply. and of course, president trump wants to continue some of the existing tariffs for the foreseeable future, in hopes to keep china on track. there are sticking points. i do think it's going to get resolved. i think a little longer than people expect. ashley: a little longer -- the biggest -- one of the stumbling blocks is enforcement. you can say anything you want but we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. can we solve that issue?

>> i think that's one of the biggest issues. they've solved the intellectual property issue and this idea that companies have to partner with chinese companies in technology transfers, those were huge issues. the uh want u.s. wants to be abo decide when and if china is not complying. the chinese are going we should have a system in place to negotiate that and discuss it. that's a big sticking point. ashley: let's talk about the jobs report tomorrow. february we got a big shock, just 20,000 jobs added. what are you expecting tomorrow? >> that was a horrible number. we've been growing 200,000 jobs a month on average. this one came out of kno out of. most people expect this number to be revised upwards. the adp number came out yesterday. what we noticed there, small business owners did the least amount of hiring in a really, really, really long time. i think that's the fear factor, the fourth quarter was horrific

number for the major indexes, there was a lot of fear we might be going into a global recession. small business owners are very sensitive to this kind of headline risk. they don't hire casually. when they put something on the books, they expect it to be a long-term commitment. i do expect a rebound this month. i do expect a revision of last month's number upwards. but i do think this is a process. i don't think it's going to happen overnight. ashley: very good. we'll find out tomorrow what that number is. dock nick, thank you very -- dominic, thank you very much. be sure to watch "mornings with maria" tomorrow for our jobs in america coverage. cheryl: we continue to follow breaking news this morning. a preliminary report has been released from ethiopian officials following the crash of a boeing 737 max jet last month after it took off from that country. the ethiopian report says the plane repeatedly nose-dived before it went down and the

flight crew performed all recommended procedures but still could not control the jet. investigators there are blaming an anti-stall feature on the jet that has been of course the focus of a global investigation. let's bring in aviation journalist seth kaplan. thank you for rushing to the studio. we appreciate it, seth. your take on what the ethiopians say was not pilot error? >> at least based on what they're saying, we're back to kind of where we started. in the days following the crash, we said ethiopian airlines is not lying, with a rather good safety reputation, how could this happen. there were questions about whether the pilots did follow procedures, whether they got the updated education based on what happened in the lion air crash. this preliminary release is saying that they did, that they did everything they could, it sound like. the other thing we're learning is that it was, again, a sensor, another similarity with the lion air crash that apparently caused it. we'll have to hear what boeing, the faa and others have to say about this.

at least based on this, it sounds very much like the lion air crash, with the major difference being that the pilots seem to have done everything they could. cheryl: there was maybe more pilot procedures that were done correctly in this crash. we're going to hear more, i'm sure. at the same time, what about -- there's been a lot of kind of concern about these global pilots, these overseas pilots not having any simulator training in the max jet and also not having enough training in general. i'm thinking of the first officer in the ethiopian cockpit who had very little training at all. did that play a factor here, do you think? >> not based on what they're saying. that's common by the way around the world, not only in developing countries like ethiopia, but the requirement in the u.s., now that you need 1500 hours experience just to sit in that right seat, just to be the first officer, is unusual around the world. so even let's say in western europe, it would be com common o have a pilot with just a few

hundred hours in the right seat. that in itself, yeah, i mean, you're right, not a particularly experienced pilot but that wouldn't necessarily cause something like this. we've all flown safely where the first officer didn't have a lot of experience. cheryl: how do you feel about what boeing is doing right now? sh have been criticized, and we have lawmakers in washington going after them to maybe being too close to the faa, have an faa representative being a boeing employee, the fact that maybe we didn't examine this aircraft enough, maybe it shouldn'shouldn't have been in r in the first place. a lot of criticisms on boeing, what do you say? >> this doesn't help that. the idea that maybe it was partly pilot error, and this is all preliminary, based on the ethiopian investigation, but the idea that maybe the pilots didn't do what they should have done, if anything didn't change the tragedy but helped boeing, kind of mitigated the impact. if this is more squarely on boeing, that's unhelpful.

it needs to continue to do what it's doing to give the world confidence that this plane is safe with the fixes. cheryl: we appreciate you literally waking up to come on the show this morning. we appreciate you getting the breaking news for us. >> thank you. ashley: here are other headlines making news this morning. a house republican thinks he has the answer to the alexandria ocasio-cortez's green new deal. congressman max goetz unveiling his green real deal to tackett climate change. >> do we believe if we outlaw cars, cows, planes an buildings that the rest of the world will follow? of course they won't. they will laugh at us. ashley: his solution calls for more investments in clean energy like solar and nuclear power, he says it will create millions of jobs. lori loughlin and felicity huffman appeared in federal court in boston in the college admissions scandal. reports say prosecutors are

cheryl: three more women accusing former vice president joe biden of inappropriate touching. this after de biden released a statement promising to be more findfumindful in the future. >> in my career, i've always tried to make a human connection. i shake hands, hug people.

social norms have begun to change, they've shifted and the boundaries of personal space have been reset. i get it. i get it. i hear what they're saying. i understand it. i'll be much more mindful. that's my responsibility. cheryl: the accusers have said the vice president's video you just saw didn't go far enough. let's bring in reporter emily larsen. he's being criticized and more accusers are coming out. a big piece in the new york post about several say whether they were interns at the white house or at fund raisers, that he just got too close. >> i think that biden's team is trying to handle this the best way they know how. he had this video and he seems to be unscripted and there was a generally positive response to it. but one thing noticeably absent is that biden did not directly apologize for his past actions. i mean, you think to acknowledge he can't do this in the future, but he didn't directly

apologize, something that people are taking notice of and think he should address in the future. cheryl: he hasn't officially declared a run for president but he seemed like he was someone that was already running in that video. but let's talk about representative tim rideen, a moderate democrat from ohio, he announced or is expected to announce on the view, on abc, that he's going to be throwing his hat into the democratic presidential candidate field which has gotten pretty darn crowded, i think we have a graphic to show our viewers. he's a moderate. i think that's what's interesting about him. what kind of mark could somebody like tim ryan make against bernie sanders who is making on, frankly, socialism orca mil, a harris who is running on education. >> time ryan has talked about the -- tim ryan has talked about the manufacturing industry and has tried to reach out to the people in the state of ohio and labor workers and people who have an investment in

manufacturing and workers like that. but he has a lot of challenges. he doesn't have the name recognition that a lot of people running have and he, as a moderate, might have trouble trying to get support in this crowded democratic primary from people who are moving toward the left, the party is moving left, and as a moderate that's going to be a challenge for him to outpace other candidates. cheryl: when you've got people like aoc who is not running but has become quite a force in the party as a young democrat. i want to ask you about beto o'rourke of texas and the fund d raising. he's got a big chunk of change right now. he's sitting on about $9.4 million he raised in about 18 days and that's a -- a lot of that's online. i guess that's small money. what do you make about beto o'rourke's fund raising. >> the small money, you mentioned it is small money but that's a point of proud in the democratic primary right now, everybody's talking about their average fund raising number and his was lower than some other

candidates. another interesting thing is that he had the highest per day average i think of about $540,000 per day. and that -- the question is, is going to be whether he can keep up this pace in the rest of the primary or whether the excitement around him will fade. cheryl: he's getting a lot of buzz right now, looks like a lot of cash as well. emily larsen, thank you very much. >> thank you. ashley: still ahead, a new weapon in the fight for a good night's sleep. how about smart pajamas? we'll have details. the united nations wants to fight the housing problem with a floating city. it's not venice. we'll tell you about it when "fbn: a.m." returns. ♪ the they they were splishing d splashing. ♪ reeling with the feeling. ♪ moving and a grooving. ♪ hey, now

cheryl: more than a third of americans say they get less than seven hours of sleep per night and a lack of sleep can lead to higher levels of stress, anger and anxiety. one group is developing smart pajamas that could help that all go away by helping you get a better night's sleep. let's bring in associate professor of chemistry and chemical engineering and director of the wearable electronics lab, tricia andrew. she's joining us via skype this morning. how did you sleep last night and this one of the reasons that you and your group decided to come up with smart pajamas, which we're told have sensors in them. >> we were thinking about babies and figuring out remotely how they're sleeping, face up or face down and that's where it started. we realized there's no technology on the market that

tells you which posture you're sleeping in and that's what we're trying to do we realize the garments you normally wear throughout you life, most people wear something when they sleep, they move with you and they actually have a pressure applied on them as you're sleeping. we figured out if we can make aa fabric based pressure sensor we could tell you what posture you're sleeping in and if we could monitor breathing, we could tell you which state of sleep you're in, and whether you're getting r.e.m. sleep or not. cheryl: you mentioned wearables, i wear a garmin24/7. these smart pajamas you say will monitor the heart, breathing and sleep posture. we've never seen the sleep posture component of this. so that's why it's brand-new. when they do make it to market, you say it could be 10 $100 to 0 a pair. >> we basically started with a

pre-made garment. we put a lining on. these work if it's a loose fitting garment. it doesn't have to be a tight thing, a wrist strap or anything like that. it moves with you. that's part of how it works. and if you start with a pretty cheap garment, we know we could hit a lot of price points. cheryl: there's a bluetooth transmitter in a button, right? is that what you created? >> that's right. there's no wires. you're not hooked up to the wall. you don't need to recharge anything. bluetooth is low power consuming. it lasts for about eight hours. there's a built-in power bank in the button. you don't see it. one of the reasons the prototype has an old fashioned -- it had buttons on it. we can integrate the electronics infeelectronics. cheryl: as someone who wakes up at 2:00 in the morning every day, sleep is everything.

more power to you. let us know when you're ready to take it to market. we would love to have you back, tricia andrew. thank you. ashley: if it works, i'm all about it. cheryl: whatever works. ashley: if you ever wanted to on the water, yes, the united nations has a plan for you. we'll tell you about those plans for floating cities that, get this, could stand up to hurricanes. and then there's this, say it ain't so, the new health study that wants you to put down that wine bottle. cheryl: what? ashley: yes, cheryl, down. it's all up next on "fbn: a.m.." no! ♪ i'm feeling good from my head to my shoes. ♪ know where i'm going and i know what to do. ♪ i tidied up my point of view. ♪ i've got a new attitude. i'm working to keep the fire going

water. there are no high emitting cars or trucks allowed on the floating cities, no high rises either. it's very futuristic. it sounds very complicated. the builder believes in this. they say it would help with the housing crisis, help with the housing shortage and the threats from rising sea levels. ashley: it would suck if you hate se seafood. tracee: drone deliveries, that's how you get food. ashley: it's like water world with kevin costner. there's a study comparing wine consumption with smoking cigarettes. what's that about? tracee: british researchers say that drinking one bottle of wine a week is as cancer-causing as smoking as many as 10 gets within that same week -- 10 gets withi10cigarettes within the sa. it says it increases lifetime cancer risk by 1% for a man, for a woman, 1.4%.

other medical professionals say this doesn't take into account all the other things that smoking causes, heart problems, respiratory issues as well. but the study they say, we just want to make sure people make healthy lifestyle choices. ashley: it's like i thought a glass of red wine a day was supposed to be great for your heart. cheryl: i think it is. ism going to stick with that. tracee: we like that. cheryl: what would you mean, a bottle a week? really? a bottle a day, maybe, i could see that being a health problem but not a bottle a week. you know. all right, we shall see. thank you very much. ashley: interesting stuff. cheryl: that it is for "fbn: a.m.." great to have you here. ashley: great to be here. cheryl: "mornings with maria" starts right now. maria: good morning. happy thursday everybody. thanks for joining us. good morning. i'm maria bartiromo. it is thursday, april 4th. your top stories right now, just before 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. carlos ghosn back behind bars this morning. last night what an unbelievable night i had. i was about to start an
