tracee: just when the other retailers are caught up with the two-day shipping, now they have to step up their game once again. cheryl: i'm a prime member and i get several things already in a day, sometimes day of. i'm not looking for it. it just shows up. i think they've already been doing this. tracee: they have been. i think in many some markets, certain items, they are already doing it. lauren: what is walmart doing? obviously they have to compete with amazon. now they're previewing the future of retail. tracee: this is what could be what our future grocery stores look like. they opened up a new store in new york that's using the concepts they're working on. it's call the intelligent retail lab, designed to check out the artificial intelligence concepts. one of the things they're working on, they have cameras and analytics. they use that to trigger an alert that lets an employee know that a customer picked up the last item, go refill this shelf.

lauren: let's get you caught up on glow bar market action overnight. the dow lost 134 points yesterday. futures are down 50. we get earnings from the oil giantgiants exxon mobil and chen later this morning. the nasdaq is up 2 points in the premarket. it's on track for the fifth straight week of gains. in europe, this is how stocks are looking. the dax is down a tenth of 1%. deutsche bank cutting revenue

target one day after talks failed with commerce bank. the rest of the european markets are lower as well. and in asia, this is how stocks closed out the friday session. the one winner was the hong kong market, up two-tenths of one percent. cheryl: investors will be looking at earnings and reacting to what we got last night. we got amazon after the bell. they blew past the expectations but they warned of a slowdown in the second quarter. let's take a closer look at amazon's numbers. the challenges that lie ahead. fox news contributor gary b. smith is here. gary, what did you make of their first quarter profit, it doubled, but they warned about spending money to up their prime service. what do you make of it? >> yeah, i tell you what, amazon is phenomenal. let's stipulate that. it's made a lot of money for everyone. it will continue to be a great stock as they continue to build these moats as i call them around their company, preventing the competition. like the one day shipping -- two

day was enough of a problem for other p companies to compete. one day will be more of a concern. however, they're going to have to spend a lot of money for that and as they said, their revenues are forecasted to slow down a little bit. i'm worried if that's the economy. throw that on top of the -- what i see as trouble that they've had with whole foods. they've really not turned that around at all. i don't know if they want to reshape it, do they want to compete directly with kroger, do they want to make it an ultra premium? amazon is a warning sign for the economy. cheryl: just to give our viewers, $800 million is what they're going to spend to go from two day shipping to one day shipping. i said earlier, a lot of folks get their stuff in one day, even same day, thanks to prime. we'll have to see if it's a good competitive move. i want to move on to what happened with intel. intel was a different story. this is the first time we've had the ceo run the earnings for us and bob swan actually had a lot

to explain. look, the core itself wasn't rough -- the quarter excuse me was rough. he said the second half of the year we'll come back, we'll have strength in the second half of 2019. do you buy the intel story right now? >> you know, you always have to wonder, cheryl, is it a company-specific story or is the company having problems, management, how they're run, or is it an economy problem? i think with intel, as opposed to amazon, which i think is an economy kind of concern, intel i think is a company concern. you know, the whole market is moving toward the mobile devices, internet on the go, 5g. they've kind of ceded that market, especially the 5g market, to qualcomm. so they pulled out of a big potentially lucrative market. their market, like ibm was back in the '70s and '80s, is more kind of cpu processing oriented. that's kind of shrinking a little bit. so this might be an intel

company story as opposed to the economy. i hope so, for the economy's stand. cheryl: well, we are going to get a read on first quarter gdp, the expectation, 2%. a lot of things could change the market direction today. we shall see. gary, great to have you. thank you, sir. >> thanks, cheryl, appreciate it. lauren: let's get you updated on the situation at the southern border. a massive group of migrants escaped an immigration detense n center in mexico. thousands are on the run as police try to take back control. griff jenkins is live, following all of this for us in washington. >> reporter: this is very important. this is a sign that mexico may have trouble controlling the latest mother of all caravans, more than 1,300 migrants, mostly cuban, escaping on foot overnight from the largest shelter in a southern city where officials have been trying to slow caravan advancement. mexico's national migration institute said about 700 have been returned but 600 remain on the loose.

this is the largest escape for federal police, new to detaining the migrant caravans. the shelter's capacity is less than 1,000. sources tell us there's more than 3,000 being held there. this as dhs sends a request to the pentagon to send 300 to 400 more troops the southern border. there are currently a 5,000 troops there, 3,000 are active duty, 2,000 are national guard. a final decision on troop numbers hasn't been made. one place they may be needed, the l el paso sector where the border patrol chief there says it's overwhelming them. >> the numbers keep going up at a faster and faster rate. we're seeing unprecedented number of family unit you'd uns entering which is new for us. there are fewer of us are on the line. >> reporter: the sector is seeing a 1700% increase in family unit apprehensions. president trump calling in to hand ahannity last night, said l

construction is well under way. >> we're building many sections of wall right now. it's under construction right now. i intend to have by the end of next year over 400 miles of wall. we've renovated a lot of wall already. >> reporter: the president also tweeting yesterday that he's proud of the hard work our border patrol agents are doing and he's giving them a raise. lauren. lauren: as you laid out, very well, griff, both sides of the border seem ove overwhelmed rigt now. thank you. cheryl: former vice president joe biden making it official yesterday in a video statement that he announced he is running for president. later, he stopped in wilmington, delaware and laid out his message for america. >> america's coming back like we used to be, ethical, straight, telling the truth, moving in a way, supporting our allies, all those good things. cheryl: well, now that he's on the field, can the former v.p.

go the distance takes 20th democratic candidate? joining me now, daily caller white house cor correspondent, r athey. he announced the first 24 hours of fund racin fund raising is c. he brought together some big donors in pittsburgh. will he have enough of a war chest to really fend off bernie sanders in particular? >> sure, i think if there's one problem facing joe biden, it's probably not his ability to fund raise. i think the big issue here is that joe biden has always been seen as this moderate democrat, he of course will be running in part on obama's record. but he still feels this desperate need to appeal to the younger, more progressive wing of the democratic party and you saw that with his announcement video. he announced in an online video as opposed to going on a cable news show. he talked about charlottesville and praised antifa, a group

known for perpetuating violence at places like trump's nomination, while talk us aboutt the character of the nation. he promises he will directly tack l he'll donaldirectlytackl. cheryl: bernie sanders and elizabeth warren went after biden last night. elizabeth warren said he's somebody that's been in the pocket of credit card companies. they're going to come out against him with everything in this man's plight l cal politicm the '70s up to now. do you think they'll remind the american people that maybe joe biden has made mistakes in his political career. >> there is questions about fund raising ties to the ukraine. there's the meme where he's seen touching women in an inappropriate manner. with obama, there's the 2008

recession and the he slow slow . you can bet the republicans will attack him on this. i think his biggest challenge going forward is if he can prove that he has the progressive chops to win the primary. cheryl: tony roth, the cio of wilmington trust, he has done research on biden. he says he presents a very meaningful threat to the stock market if elected president. he says the fear is a that he would unwind in particular the regulatory framework that president trump has put into place which has been, we have to say, a market positive. >> that's exactly right. donald trump's deregulation and the tax cuts have provided a big boost to the economy. but really any democratic president who wishes to roll that back would be a threat in that case. cheryl: amber, we'll have you back he very soon. amber, thank you. >> thank you. lauren: here are other headlines making news this morning. good news, bad news from deutsche bank. the bank announcing this morning that cost cutting helped to boost first quarter profits 67%,

plus the bank also cutting its 2019 revenue targets, saying it expects essentially flat full year revenues. the earnings coming a day after the bank ended merger talks with commerce bank. shares down two and three quarters percent this morning. jack dorsey is standing by twitter's decision to not take down a controversial tweet from president trump. dorsey reportedly called congresswoman hahn omar on the -- ilhan omar on the phone to explain why twitter didn't remove the tweet which connected her to 9/11. that tweet led to death threats against her. dorsey said trump didn't violate twitter's terms but he did admit the company needs to do a better job keeping hate lfuful posts of the site. the share of high school graduates enrolling in college rebounded last year. nearly 69% of 2018 high school grads enrolled in higher education in october, up 2% from the year before. the data indicates the strongest

job market in decades has yet to excite young americans away from pursuing higher education. and colleges is a no-brainer for one high school student. she has been accepted into 115 colleges and received more than $3.7 million in scholarship money. she has a 3.5gpa while also being enrolled in a community college. she has a tough choice to make. what will he she do with all of those acceptance letters. cheryl: look at that. somebody actually got into college the old fashioned way, by earning it and not having their parents pay for them to get in. lauren: even more silver lineing to that story. cheryl: let's take a look at your money this morning. we're shaping up for a mixed open, but we'll be hearing from chevron and exxon mobil, they're dow components. this could change. the dows is down 41, nasdaq up 5 and three quarters. history is made as the arizona cardinals make the first pick in

so those folks loved it. what do you say? >> yeah, to audiences waking up at 5:42 in the morning to this jack he et, you'rjacket, you're. this is a crazy jacket to wear at 5:45 in the morning. it's worth it. the movie is absolutely incredible. it's a genius film, juggling doesedozens of characters. if you're a man of the marvel films, you're talking about 21 films prior, this movie is kind of a reward, a thank you to all the people who watched the film over the years. that's not getting into details on spoilers or plot. this is reliant on the idea that you have seen all the movies, i mean that in the best way possible. if you haven't seen the other films, the only one you need to see leading up to this to follow end game, would be infinity war, which is the last film. lauren: this movie is three hours long. >> it felt like 30 minutes.

lauren: that good? >> yes, yes. lauren: in order to have a lot of screens available to show it, how are theaters making that happen. >> i've been reading stories, that some of the amc theaters are staying open 24 hours. some of them are 96 hours from thursday to sunday. the film is three hours. infinity war was two hours and 35 minutes. i've seen the film twice. i saw it twice in a 24 hour period, so six and-a-half hours of my life within 24 hours in avengers end game and i didn't blink an eye. i will see it again right now if you put it on a screen. that's how great it is. cheryl: does this solidify disney's dominance over hollywood? you've got the avengers, they've got star wars, they bought marvel. lauren: to piggy back on that, there's a report that this summer disney could have half of the box office. >> yeah, because you have -- disney this year alone has avengers end game, captain marvel which passed a billion,

you have lion king, toy story 4, frozen 2, star wars episode 9. this is going to be the biggest studio of the year. you're talking about properties -- this movie will make close to $2.5 billion after all is said and done. the last one did $2 billion. they're possibly saying -- deadline is saying this could open up to a billion dollars this weekend alone, all over the world. which would be the biggest opening in the history of movies. it deserves it. this film should not exist. it should not be as good as it is. i don't understand how the film makers, the rooster brothers, if you've seen civil war, infinity war, now this movie -- cheryl: i've seen none of those. >> this franchise has made over $17 billion at the box office. the movie is a five out of five. no spoilers. anybody who sees this movie, don't ruin it for anybody. cheryl: i love your jacket.
