lauren: tensions with iran escalating, a report that the trump administration made preparations for strikes on iran

last night in retaliation for the downing of a u.s. drone but called off the operation. we bring in gil berndale and phil flynn, a fox business contributor. gil, why the about-face? >> i think the president has been pretty consistent the last few days and has seemed to have real reticence about a full-blown war with iran, about launching into real military action, absent a greater provocation than what we've seen so far. lauren: we saw an about-face a little bit on the price of oil, on that report. >> we really did. i think that what we're seeing from that is the market is concerned about what's going to happen in this part of the world and this is a very important choke point for oil. it could have a major impact on the global economy. and i think president trump, even though he pulled back from a military strike, doesn't mean

that the united states isn't going to act somehow. he might just do it smarter and more effectively and by doing so, reduce the tensions of a conflict that could actually have a bad impact on the global economy. lauren: what is really, phil, moving the price of oil now? is it what's going on in iran? or is it this trade, global demand issue? >> yeah, it's a combination of everything. i don't think you can just throw out the iran situation, even though the u.s. is the biggest producer in the world right you now. it still is a global commodity, it's still going to have an impact. there's a lot of other things going on here right now. a couple weeks ago we were telling the world that the u.s. is going into a recession, the world's going into recession and everybody wag doom and gloom about u.s.-china trade deal, it wasn't going to get often and everybody was gettin get bearisn demand. prices went down, demand spiked up. looks like we could get a

u.s.-china deal. what's interesting is you have the federal reserve talking about cutting interest rates next month. then of course you've got europe cutting interest rates. china adding stimulus to the system to react to a h slowdown that may not happen. that's going to be explosive for oil demand and i think trade is starting to get that. lauren: it feels like everything is kind of at this boiling point. we have the g-20 next week. we're t waiting on what the u.s. response to iran will be. what are some of our options for retaliation here? >> i think we can respond in a more calibrated way. there are options that aren't military options. lauren: like what? >> we can talk about cyber, we can talk about reacting to iranian proxies in lieu of actual iranian forces, things we can do inside the country in terms of stirring descent and other options. there are a lot of economic levers, information levers and other things we can do in the region, short of actually

launching strikes on iranian forces and the escalation that follows from that. lauren: is it necessary that we respond? if we don't respond, does that send the wrong message to other adversaries, russia, north korea, even china? >> i think sometimes that idea of american credibility gets used to drive us down paths we would rather not go. this idea that we have to constantly display strength. people are under no allusions about american strength and even american resolve as well. so i think responding to a calibrated provocation and over-doing it, a disproportionate response i think is not going to i'm press people -- impress people. lauren: the new york times article that reported we were preparing the attack, pulled back at the last minute, i found it interesting that no government official said hold this report, don't go forward with this report and the message that that sends, what is that

message, essentially, that we want to send? but of course the market and certainly the oil market is looking at all this. i'll let you wrap it up here with us, phil. >> i think so too. i also think it shows the strength of president donald trump. he has a lot of hawks in his administration, probably recommending a strike. he held back. it shows that he's still in control. lauren: got it. phil, gil, thank you very much. and look at that, your names rhyme. >> thank you. lauren: happy friday, gentlemen. cheryl: all right. let's take a look at your friday futures. see how i did that. pretty good, right? dow is down 20, s&p up 5 and three quarters, nasdaq down 16. remember june has been a really solid month for stocks. we'll see how today shakes out. also still ahead, china's president holding another summit with kim jong un. this time in north korea. why some say xi-jinping has other motives to visit the rogue regime. and if you're a taco bell fan,

cheryl: canadian prime minister justin trudeau and president trump meeting at the white house for talks on the revamped north american trade deal yesterday, coming together to push for passage of the usmca which so far only mexico has ratified. >> it's the largest trade deal, by far, ever entered into. we're very close to having phi finalizing. we're really competing against the world. we're not competing with each other so much. cheryl: the trade agreement

faces an uphill battle on capitol hill where nancy pelosi says the trump administration is moving too quickly. let's bring in clark packard of r street institute. good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: did you have any hopes? were you more hopeful we would get the usmca being ratified after yesterday. true dough met with president trump and -- trudeau met with president trump and several other congressional lawmakers about getting usmca through. >> i think this is the president's top priority right now. i think ambassador lighthizer is doing a good job, reaching out to democrats, trying to make the case for the agreement and trying to come to some sort of consensus and they know that changes need to be made and they seem to be willing to make those changes. cheryl: all right. so changes need to be made. that's what nancy pelosi says. remember that democrats are getting pushback from union leaders, i'm thinking about richard trumka in particular. they want to make sure mexico

enforces agreements when it comes to how they treat and how they pay labor south of the border. u.s. union leaders worry more jobs to go to mexico. i>> i think that that has always been over-blown argument. it doesn't shock me that richard trumka and the labor unions are bent out of shape about this. i think ultimately i do think that this agreement gets done and, again, there's going to be compromises made. maybe you'll see something on environmental issues, on pharmaceuticals, trying to lower pharmaceutical prices. a number of issues where i think there's going to be some sort of consensus between democrats and republicans in the administration. cheryl: speaking of trade, interesting pictures coming out this week. we're seeing president xi-jinping walking alongside of kim jong un in north korea. of course, the g-20 is next week. many investors are looking ahead to that meeting. do you think that president xi

had ulterior motives to meet with the north korean leader. is this going to help him do you think with an edge over president trump when they finally talk? >> it's really tough for me to say and try to get in the mind of xi-jinping. but look, i think that the u.s./china relationship is the most important geo strategic relationship in the world right now. it's important that we get it right. and it wouldn't shock me if china was using the north korean issue as a chip to play, to gain some leverage in this conversation with the united states. cheryl: yeah. well, again, all eyes going to be on that summit which starts again next week. clark pack car packard. thanks for being here. lauren: president trump showing restraint with iran, what the 2020 democratic contenders still on attack. the border patrol chief is upset with socialist alexandria ocasio-cortez. what agents are now sounding the alarm about as the crisis on the border has gone global.

lauren: doesn't feel like a summer friday. there's a lot going on. one week left in the month of june and the second quarter, for june, all three major averages gaining more than 7%. best june for the dow since 1938. futures mixed but relatively flat this friday. yield on the 10 year treasury at 2.03% this morning as tensions in iran continue to drive up the price of oil, following the biggest gain of the year yesterday. oil still bubbling higher, up a quarter percent, $57.24 a barrel. gold also with an up arrow, hitting new six year highs right

now, at 1392 an ounce. asian markets mostly lower, the shanghai composite in china add half a percent overnight. green on the screen in europe, all three indices gaining, the best performer, cac in paris. cheryl: we're watching developments in washington. new york senator shuc sense chud not mince words about president trump's handling of the iran crisis. >> i told the president these conflicts have a way of escalating. the president may not intend to go to war here but we're worried that he and the administration may bumble into a war. cheryl: also, the new york times is reporting that there was supposed to be a military operation against iran, authorized last night but that authorization actually didn't happen. there was a change of heart on the part of the president. let's bring in american majority founder and ceo and centra stra, ned ryan. good morning. i want to say, what i find interesting here, is the white house did not waive off the new

york times on that report. that report is still out and the paper is still standing behind it. do you think the administration wants to make sure the american people understand that they are taking their time, they are doing their due diligence to make sure we do not over-react to the situation with iran? >> oh, absolutely. and i think this is a struggle a little bit between the president and some of his senior add vicar -- advisors who would prefer to use quite a bit of force against iran at this moment. what president trump is trying to do is figure out the right response. there will be a response, but at what level and where and what will it look like. i would like to see him use force against wherever the strike came from that brought the drone down, very limited but obviously very forceful. at some point, we have to admit, if the mullas will not back away from their desire to have nuclear capabilities, we can't allow them to have these capables, my argument is force will have to be used at some point in the future. i think it's israel and saudi

arabia with us providing cover for them. cheryl: you make a good point about the saudis, they were attacked by a group that was funded by the iranian regime. the saudis have a lot to lose. as well as maybe a simple thing. maybe do what president reagan did, that was put more war ships into the region to escort our tankers. the two things we need is the continued flow of energy supply through the strait of hormuz and is there a diplomatic solution with the iranians, is that possible? >> i'm not really sure that there is, cheryl, as long as they stay in power, as long as the mullas stay in power. the thing that's disappointing to me, is when chuck schumer says we might bumble into war. we will not bumble into war. iran might but we will not. israel has a vested interest, as does saudi, in making sure they don't have somebody in their backyard with these capabilities. i think in a much larger picture the fact that nancy pelosi was

bringing in wendy sherman and john brennan to brief the house democrats on this situation, i find deeply disappointing. and when you look at this overall situation, this is about policy differences. president trump won, he is the executive. he is the commander in chief. they would do well to support him in whatever decision he makes. cheryl: we have to run but i want to show our viewers that of course some of the democratic candidates are already weighing in including joe biden who said basically -- he's calling the president's iran strategy a self-inflicted disaster. there's the full quote. a lot of other candidates are weighing in. it's already being politicized which is disconcerting considering this is becoming at this point an emergency. thank you for your help this morning. lauren: it's so interesting. with everything going on, the market is marching to new highs. the s&p a 500 marking its fifth record close of the year yesterday. the dow not only a stone's throw from setting its own new high, but it's ready for the best june

since 1938. why? let's ask public trading.com strategist todd horowitz. good morning. i'm going to ask you why. i'm also going to ask you, because i know you expect the market to hit new highs, how long does this last? >> good morning, lauren. well, again, listen, there's no place else to go with your money right now. if you look around the globe, where do you want to invest? and the only place to go is the u.s. equity market as it stands. 10 year's at less than 2%. the rally will last until it doesn't. i know that's pretty ambiguous. that's what's going to happen. i would expect to see some selling and the leadership in this rally has not been great. when the nasdaq and the russell are lagging the dow, that is not a real bullish sign. however, the markets will go up until they decide it's time not to go up. there's a lot of issues out there. i would expect to see a fairly substantial sell-off for now i think you have to continue to watch it go up until it doesn't

go up anymore. lauren: gold is also going up, six year high yesterday, 1400, haven't seen that since 2014. what's at play in the gold market? is it fear or is it something else? >> i think gold -- first of all, gold is truly not a fear asset. gold is a hard asset that's great to own. it's a fight against interest rates, it's an asset that a lot of people try to sink as a fear but it doesn't protect an equity portfolio. i think gold has set a nice base and started to rally and i think yesterday's action, what we would call in the trade a blow-out move to the upside, i expect gold to go higher. i would think it would pull back now before it makes its next move and i would think 1500 will be next on the target. lauren: okay, what a call. as you look at the move to the upside for gold, for stocks, the fed, is the wind at the market's back essentially. yet there is huge calls for a rate cut coming as soon as next month.

what's your call? how many basis points is necessary by the end of 2019? >> i don't think any is necessary. lauren: okay. >> i think it's sad that we as an economy are depending on the fed to cut rates to get the stock market to go up. if the economy's as strong as it is, we shouldn't have a need for a rate cut. actually, rates can command a much higher price. in the mea meantime, i expect te a 50 basis cut probably in july. i was surprised they didn't cut on wednesday because of what draghi did on tuesday. they're being forced down because of what's going on globally and to try and stay in line and keep the dollar weaker so imports and exports work. i don't think they should cut. economists are ridiculous. lauren: what worries me is if they do cut and we see inflation, vis-a-vis oil and gold, what have you, the fed has to hike going into 2020. that's going to be a political fire storm. but we have to end it there. todd hou horowitz, i'm sure youe a lot to say about that. have a great weekend.

cheryl: let's get to breaking news. want to give you a live look right now. this is philadelphia, fire as you can see lighting up the sky. this is an energy refinery and it has gone up in flames overnight. there are reports of several explosions in that area. according to local news reports, this fire began just after 3:00 a.m. it's sunoco refinery. it's unclear if there are any injuries. we'll monitor the live pictures for you this morning, bring you any details. border officials are revealing shocking numbers about the crisis at our southern border. >> our operations are now being overwhelmed on a daily basis. we're dealing with a humanitarian pric crisis, this s like no other. lauren: illegals from 52 countries are entering the united states with 100,000 people getting past agents, this year alone. allison ba barber is live for un

washington this morning with pretty powerful testimony coming from capitol hill. >> reporter: it was a busy day on capitol hill yesterday as it often is between briefings on iran and the release of testimony from a former trump aide, heard from carla provost and she said border patrol is over well med on -- overwhelmed on a daily basis as more and more migrants try cross the southern border. >> this is like no other crisis that i have seen in my career when it comes to the humanitarian side of the house. i have been forced to divert 40 to 60% of border patrol's man power away from the border as we process and care for nearly 435,000 families and children that have flooded across our southern border so far this year. >> reporter: border patrol has come under fire for conditions at detention centers. a report released earlier this

month found egregious violations of detention standards at some detention facilities in the u.s. including overcrowding and inadequate medical care and food safety issues. earlier this week, alexandria ocasio-cortez compared detention centers to concentration camps. lawmakers were quick to criticize those comments. ocasio-cortez defended them. they say border patrol agents are going above and beyond to care for migrants and doing the best they can with limited resources. a $4.6 billion border supplemental bill was just approved. $2.9 million will go to the care of migrant children. it's expected to go to a vote next week. lauren: it is the first day of summer. and the longest day of the year. cheryl: meteorologist adam clots is live in the weather center with the forecast for the

weekend and much more. >> we're talking about the longest day of the year and we're talking about rain. it's been soggy across large portions of the country. early this morning we've got a big area moving into new england, this is only going to last through the next couple hours. by the time you get into afternoon, finally sunshine for folks who have seen a lot of rain recently. the rain moves into the middle of the country this afternoon. this is an opportunity for severe weather across portions of the plains, stretching back into the midwest. this will be a spot to watch where we could see spraps severe thunderstorms fire -- perhaps severe thunderstorms fire up. take a look at some of these numbers, triple digits in parts of texas, widespread running up into the middle 90s. this is the longest day of the year. 93 in atlanta 102 in phoenix. this means tomorrow a little bit shorter, sunday even shorter than that. if you blink, it's going to be winter before you know it. lauren: no. adam.
