what it took to finally grow up. .it is thursday, august 1st and "fbn: a.m." starts right now. ♪ ♪ lauren: happy august. welcome to "fbn: a.m.." good morning. i'm lauren simonetti. cheryl: good morning, i'm cheryl casone. let's take a look at how your money is moving the day after the big decision. as you can see, pretty flat market in the premarket. the dow is higher by 7, s&p is unchanged, the nasdaq is up a quarter point. that's after yesterday's big selloff. lauren: the dow fell 333 points. let's look at the 10 year treasury, 2.06% is the yield. that's down 4 basis points.

cheryl: we continue to follow tensions with iran, sanctions, we're going to talk about that in a little bit. oil is lower by 73-cents. lauren: stocks in asia as the trade talks in shanghai are over, new talks scheduled for september, markets in asia are mixed. the nikkei up slightly in japan, the shanghai down 0.8% overnight. cheryl: reaction in europe, the fed's decision kind of the same story in our future's market, the ftse and dax are lower. the cac is slightly green. lauren: the 10 candidate field turned into nine candidates versus joe biden last night. cheryl: hillary vaughn is live in detroit with all of the he details. it was quite a fight. hillary, good morning. >> reporter: wide a bloodbath -- quite a blood bath. the former vice president taking it from all sides of the stage last night. he took leading liberal policies

like medicare for all head-on and instead pushed to build on obamacare. >> this has to be the party that's not afraid to say out loud, we're going to tax the hell out of the wealthy. ask people about the reality of premium, deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket expenses, that's worse than any tax. >> i don't know what math you do in california and new york, i tell you, that's a lot of money. there will be a deductible out of your paycheck. >> reporter: biden defended former president barack obama's record in office. de blasio and juilan castro drilled into biden over obama's deportation rate. biden pointed out that then secretary castro didn't chime in and say anything to the president in the oval office when the deportation was

happening. >> second, we sat together in many meetings. i never heard him talk about any of this when he was the secretary. if you cross the border illegally, you should be able to be sent back. it's a crime. i>> it looks like one of us learned the lessons of the past and one of us haven't. >> i have guts enough to say the plan doesn't make sense. >> reporter: voters are expecting a head to head matchup between biden and harris but it was hardly that. they were drowned out by everyone else on stage, trying to get in shots at at the frontrunner, biden. at one point, the former vp called out senator kirsten gillibrand for criticism that she was levying against him, saying that he didn't know that she had a problem with him until she decided that she wanted to run for president. lauren and cheryl. lauren: hillary, thank you so much. cheryl: our other top story this morning, the federal reserve as expected cutting interest rates by a quarter point, the first rate cut since

december of 2008. the decision wasn't unanimous. and it comes amid fed concerns about trade tensions and the slowing global economy. lauren: let's get more on this from edward lawrence. >> reporter: the federal reserve cuts the federal funds rate 25 basis appointments. not everyone agreed with that decision. there were two descents, the boston federal reserve and the kansas city federal reserve president believe the federal funds rate should have remained where it was. jerome powell said this will not be the start of a long series of cuts, it might also not be a one and done. he almost took credit for the expansion continuing. he said as you see the fed moving to a more accomodative policy, he pointed out unemployment is low, wages are rising and consumer spending is increasing. so if december went too far according to some economists, i wanted to he know if waiting seven months to act on this cut,

did it cause business investment side of the economy to slow down. listen to his answer. >> you see manufacturing being weak all over the world, business investment is weak. i think there's a global business cycle happening with manufacturing and investment. and that's been definitely a bigger factor than certainly we expected late last year. >> reporter: the chairman making the point that the weaknes weakn our economy is being caused not by anything within the united states but pressures from outside. the global economic slowdown, also trade uncertainty. the federal reserve will end the rolloff of the balance sheet two months early, keep it as $4.2 trillion. the last time there were two descents on the hawkish side of things was back in november of 2016. back to you. cheryl: more on this later on. president trump we should also say did blast the fed's move on twitter.

what the market wanted to hear from jay powell, he wrote, and the federal reserve was that this was the beginning of a lengthy and aggressive rate cutting cycle which would keep pace with china, the european union and other countries around the world. as usual, powell let us down. but at least he is ending quantitative tightening which shouldn't have started in the first place. no inflation. we are winning anyway. i'm certainly not getting much help from the federal reserve. lauren: we should also point this out. when you talk about a quarter point rate cut, it doesn't save americans that much money. greg mcfried says it translates into $1 a month savings on a $5,000 credit card balance, $3 a month on a $25,000 car loan and $6 a month on a $30,000 home equity loan. cheryl: the u.s.-china trade talks in shanghai ended with no visible progress. the two sides agreed to meet again in september here in washington and we are learning some of the strategy the white house used in keeping china

engaged. trump administration is offering guidance to u.s. trade officials to maintain a measured response to the protests in hong kong. the fear that any u.s. statement favoring the protesters could derail efforts to get a trade deal. hong kong is facing the worst political crisis since 1997. for more on the ongoing trade negotiations, white house trade adviser peter navarro will be on maria bartiromo at 7:00 a.m. eastern time this morning. lauren: the way beijing plays that is showing up. john bolton was on lou dobbs. he explained the decision. >> the purpose is to demonstrate to the regime and iran, which after all was designated by ronald reagan as a state spons f

daterror. we restricted his activities and those of people who do business with him. lauren: he said the sanctions would have no effect on him since he has no assets outside of iran. programming note, national security advisor john bolton will also be on "mornings with maria" with maria bartiromo, 8:30 a.m. this morning. cheryl: the alleged suspect in the capital one hack may be responsible for other data breaches. the fbi is investigating whether paige thompson stole personal information from michigan state university, uni credit also looking at whether its information was exposed. thompson, a former worker in amazon's cloud services division is accused of stealing files from millions of capital one customers and amazon is also contacting its cloud customers thompson listed online.

new video shows the fbi raid on her seattle home that was earlier this week and there it is. lauren: missiles and midnight dashes happening in north korea. cheryl: tracee carrasco has that story. tracee: north korea claiming kim jong un supervised the testing of a new rocket launch system that could potentially enhance its ability to strike south korea and u.s. military bases there. meanwhile, a north korean soldier made a run for freedom by completing a midnight trip across the dangerous dmz into south korea. south korean officials say the man expressed his desire to defect and has been detained for questioning. the senate confirms kelly craft as u.s. ambassador to the u.n. craft, a long-time gop activist from kentucky is currently the u.s. ambassador to canada. democrats had expressed concerns about her inexperience and potential conflicts of interest due to money donated by her and her husband to republican

candidates. she was confirmed in a 56-dollar-34 vote. victims of the ebbin equifax daa breach could be getting less than expected. people who had personal information exposed were set to get $125 each. now it seems that amount mus mit be much lower. around 4.6 million people have already visited the ftc website since the $700 million settlement was announced. and lyft halting itsest-bite program in san francisco -- e-bike programs in san francisco after two bikes have gone up in flames. thankfully, there were no injuries. an investigation is underway as to how the bikes erupted into flames. that's what's happening now. lauren: that's scary, especially if you're just walking down the street, past the bikes. cheryl: let's take a look at futures right now. it is the morning after and look

at this, we just had a huge jump in futures with only -- this only happened in the last few minutes, folks. dow is up a 58 right now, s&p is up 5 and-a-half, nasdaq up 22 and three quarters. when this show opened we had a completely flat march he get. -- market. that has changed. we will have fallout from the fed's big rate cut. the president and wall street were not thrilled. did the fed set itself up for failure? and how napkins cause massive confusion on a delta flight. you are watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ oh, maggie i couldn't have tried any more. ♪ you led me away from home. ♪ just to save you from being alone. ♪ a visual snapshot of your investments. key portfolio events. all in one place. because when it's decision time...

jerome powell just dropped the interest rates and he admitted why, because of the so-called trade policy that this president has, that resulted in american families spending at much as $1.4 billion more a month on everything from shampoo to washing machines. lauren: kamala harris speaking on the second presidential debate last night. we bring in craig demuke. he want you to respond what you heard from kamala harris. is her attack on the trump

administration's trade policy on target and is the fed really worried about trade? >> i don't think it's on target. i think to blame all of the weakness on the fact that the president's trying to right the ship with china. >>, the mostfrequently cited abo trade policies trying to adjust that or trying to confront that is incorrect. it's something that needed to happen. and the economic data really started turning weaker back in early 2018, before all of the trade discussions began. you look at global manufacturing pmis, global growth forecasts, eurozone growth forecast, the data started to turn weaker before this. certainly they've been affected by it. the fed is responding to the degradation of financial conditions that we saw at the end of the year and ever since that we've seen conditions starting to improve. it's not all about trade. to blame it all on that i think misses the. lauren:mark.lauren: you were st

the data. you say the data was weakening last year. well, we get data today, manufacturing has been weak. we get fresh ism july numbers on that and we get the july jobs report tomorrow. what are your expectations about the strength of the economy? do you think we need as insurance a 50 basis point cut instead of a 25? >> i think we'll need one eventually. we were here with you on june on the day of the fed decision, we said we thought they should cut then, get ahead of market expectations. there are parts of the economy that have been weaker, manufacturing for sure, but the consumer remains in a good spot. so there's reason to believe the economy will be strong but it would be nice to have i think a 50 basis point buffer and then readjust from there. the big challenge right now, i think this is an interesting point ought of all of this, is this is the reality of being in a low interest rate world.

if they had raised rates to 5% already, which this is the longest recovery and expansion on record, so by this point we should be up to 5% or so if this were a normal cycle but because we're at two and three eight hads -- i think this is the reality of being in a new interest rate world. lauren: there is a 51% chance that they cut again next month. we'll see, craig. but as we learned in the past, usually these mid-cycle adjustments come in threes. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> have a great day. cheryl: well, president trump may have been watching when bernie sanders headed to canada earlier this week to highlight the high cost of drug prices in the u.s. the white house announced a new initiative aimed at lowering the nation's healthcare costs by letting states import prescription drugs from canada. the fda would set up guidelines

for drug manufacturers who want to import drugs that are sold overseas. canadian medical professionals have expressed skepticism if there drug supply is enough to support both countries. lauren: investors might think the reaction to the 25 point cut yesterday was overcome because woverdone becausewe have a come. still ahead, from cell phones to theme parks, facial recognition technology is spreading fast but as the tech world looks to enter into schools, is it spreading too fast, too far? and a startling new report on how hackers could bring an entire city to a standstill with just a few key strokes. keep it here on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ uptown girl, she's been living in her uptown world. ♪ i'll bet she never had a back street guy. ♪ i bet her mama never tolder --

schools, even disney world. cheryl: is the technology helping or hurting us. lauren: let's ask brett larson. >> minority report should be viewed as a documentary on what the future will hold. i remember seeing the movie and thinking like this will happen in 10 years and it kind of has in a way when you go online, if you search for something, the advertisements you see are based on what you're searching for. we haven't gotten to the point where when you log into, say, a banana republic or nordstrom website, hey, it's been a year since you bought those shoes, you might want a new pair. we're not there yet. the facial recognition technology, i have it in my hand, i unlock my phone with my face. airport security in some airports, they're scanning your face and look at your passport. i went through airport security in st. maarten a while ago and

it was like smile. cheryl: it's a part of our lives. wouldn't this be a better way for identification, even than a finger print. i say that because as we move into this new world, some say this hurts our privacy, i would argue on the other side and say this is better for my privacy. >> it's privacy, personal liberty, it's that balance that we have here. the issue a lot of people are having is facial recognition technology has a hard time with people of color, specifically women of color, it has a hard time recognizing them. it's definitely a fault in the system. there are a lot of police organizations that have been stopped from using the technology, san francisco stopped it, oakland stopped it, much to the chagrin of the police department that's were saying wait, we need this, we understand your concerns but let's not stop this before we get down the road. disney world is using it to id you if you use the band to get on the ride, it knows how to find your photographs. so the concerns are always with security. if you're doing this mass look at a crowd of people, that's

where it's -- what if you look similar to someone or what problems are you -- cheryl: we talked about children and using this technology for children. brett, thank you so much. so many good points on this. i think we'll have this segment all over again. tomorrow. >> keep it going. cheryl: check brett larson on fox news headlines, 24/7. lauren: an entire city could be brought to a halt because of hackers. there's a new report out there that shows what it takes for a hacker to take down an entire city. a new study by the georgia institute of technology said hackers randomly stalling 20% of the cars in a major city like new york during rush hour could create massive gridlock. hacking 10% would slow emergency vehicles down badly. cheryl: the day after the fed decision, let's take a look at futures and your money this morning. we have green arrows, big jump in futures in the last half hour many we are watching it. dow up 47, s&p up 4 and-a-half,

nasdaq up 18. still ahead, well, some surprising moments out of the second night of the democratic debate in detroit last night. >> the bills that the president -- excuse me, the future president here, that the senator's talking about -- >> first of all, i'm grateful he endorsed my presidency already. cheryl: and there's more. who will survive to the next round of debates? we break it down. also, congressman elijah cummings' own words may have come back to bite him. we'll have how the white house is responding. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ synchrony, we're changing what's possible every single day. and if you run a business, that means a lot. we create financing options for your customers. to help them get the things they love instantly.

cheryl: the democrats took to the stage for the second night of the debates in detroit last night and things got off to a bit of a rough start.

>> the senator's had several plans so far and any time someone tells you you're going to get something good in 10 years, you should wonder why it's going to take 10 years. >> your plan by contrast leaves out almost 10 million americans. so i think that you should really think about what you're saying but be reflective and understand that the people of america want access to healthcare. >> the bills that the president -- excuse me, that the future president here, that the senator's talking about -- go first of all, i'm grateful he endorsed my presidency already. >> you can't have it both ways. you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign. you can't do it when it's convenient and dodge it when it's not. >.>> i'm an advocate -- >> she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if the she smoked maur

wamarijuana --she smoked mariju. cheryl: did any of the candidates look like they could be a match for president trump. let's bring in amere beno and capri kafaro. good morning. amere, i'm going to start with you on that that last little bit we heard from mayor bill di blas he yow. de blasio. let's talk about taxing the wealthy. what is going on? >> i think de blasio came across like a clown yesterday, frankly. and it was a disaster for him. i think he was trying to get that sound bite, that little blip that will go viral. i think he fell flat on it. i think he came across sounding like what the democrats are afraid that they're going to come across sounding like, the far left fringes, everything's

for free, he even has a tax the hell website he was promoting. the whole thing was a joke. cheryl: look at the fiscal budget in new york city and we'll talk about b de blasio. let's talk about the general theme of the debate. >> the general theme is democrats are not huge fans of de blasio. cheryl: let's talk about what's going on with -- you had joe biden stumbling a little bit. seems like everyone was going after biden and harris. how do you think each of the candidates did, particularly joe biden? >> any time you have members that are competing against one another, in a debate what happens is that those that are leading the pack take the firing from pretty much everybody else and that's what we saw last night. i think that joe biden did enough to stay in the game, to vie for his frontrunner status. he was definitely less sleepy,

to invoke president trump's moniker for vice president joe biden as sleepy joe. he was less sleepy last night. he was not afraid to talk about some of the moderate positions that he holds, for example on immigration. he did what he needed to do to stay in the game. i think kamala harris started out strong but pie the teared tt petered out. she took a shot straight between the eyes from kelsey gabbard for her record on criminal justice. cheryl: there's so much to get to. i want to move to healthcare. to capri's point, joe biden is trying to be that moderate in all of this, calling out kamala harris' healthcare plan and saying how in the world are you going to pay for it, throwing out 2, $3 trillion that this could cost. and you're saying this could be in 10 years. what about right now. did biden win in that fight

against harris with healthcare. >> first of all, it's $30 trillion that it's going to cost. i think she did score points with her. she came across as inarticulate, unable to express the del tails she needed to -- details she need toded to have command of oe debate stage. biden's own plan, what i see as a problem is -- i get the idea, in the primaries they'll go to the left as far as possible. they're painting themselves into a corner that they can't tack back to the center and there is a heritage poll that came out that said 70% of americans don't favor the medicare for all or biden's type of public option plan. and that includes 65% of swing state voters. cheryl: capri, really quick, i want to give you the last word on this. biden took a lot of hits with regard to his record on

immigration. president obama, some called him the deporter in chief. they tried to go after him. that i think would take him down among likely democratic voters. what did you see. >> i think in places like the midwest, the fact that biden has not gone away from his views with regard to immigration is actually going to help him. i think we shouldn't assume all democrats are modelists when it comes to the issue of immigration. i think those competing against joe biden will make it an issue. don't be so sure voters will go for it. cheryl: i stand corrected, $32 trillion is the estimate on kamala harris. $32 trillion in 10 years, that makes total fiscal sense. you guys were great. appreciate it. lauren: have you seen this? newly resurfaced video from a congressional hearing 20 years ago, shows he'l elijah cummingsg harsh words describing his own hometown. listen. >> this morning, i left my community of baltimore a drug

infested area where a lot of the drugs we're talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children, the same children that i watched 14 or 15 years ago as they grew up, now walking around like zombies. lauren: republicans now say it is a double standard after democrats accused president trump of being racist for calling baltimore rat infested. u.s. housing and urban development secretary ben carson visited baltimore, he defended president trump's comments and he said, quote, the president's emphasis is on the people and a that certainly is my emphasis. we have to learn to work together and realize we are not each other's enemy. cheryl: well, osama bin laden's son is believed to be dead. an official says the u.s. did play a rule in killing the emerging. >> al: kaemerging al-qaida lead.

aishah hasnie has details. >> reporter: good morning, lauren and cheryl. president trump was asked about this yesterday but he would not confirm or deny the report. >> do you have any intelligence that bin laden's son has been killed. >> i don't want to comment on it. >> reporter: he was thought to be 30 years old and he was emerging as a leader within al-qaida. as recently as february, the state department offered a million dollar reward for information leading to him. on wednesday, a u.s. official confirming to fox news that the son of the 9/11 mastermind is believed to be dead. hours later, 2020 candidate tellsy gabbard accused the president of supporting the terrorist network. >> this current president is continuing to betray us. we're supposed to be going after al-qaida but over years now not only have we not gone after

al-qaida, who is stronger today than they were in 9/11, our president is supporting al-qaida. >> reporter: the facts show the terrorist network has actually lost territory. the islamic state emerged out of al-qaida in iraq after the u.s.-led invasion in 2003. at one point, isis controlled 35,000 square miles from syria to eastern iraq. and every passing year that number dropped. by march of 2019, isis actually lost the last bit of territory in syria, bringing an end to that caliphate. he details on how or where hamza bin laden died, they remain a mystery. cheryl: thank you. lauren: coming up, trade negotiators are heading home from shanghai. what's the new strategy for a trade deal? will china continue to play the waiting game? and forget couch potatoes, why

because they basically don't know what's going to happen. a lot of people are questioning the quarter point rate cut in the first place. gdp in the second quarter was at 2.1%. >> i think there's a litany of good economic data. i don't think the rate cut has anything to do with the overall economy. we're having issues with inflation here. it's counterintuitive. if we wanted to have more inflation here and not get into a deflationary environment, we should be raising rates to somewhere along a more normalized rate, in the 3% range. cheryl: we're between 2 and 2 and a quarter percent right now. there's the question, what if they were wrong. what if we have an economic catastrophe. they didn't leave themselves a lot of room. >> we don't have very much room. the problem is, i think there's 13 central banks worldwide that are in extreme accomodative stance and then you've got negative rates in places like germany. the problems is, if we're trying to revitalize manufacturing and

the dollar gets too strong, trying to reset the table in terms of global trade, that has almost everything to do with this rate cut. i don't know that we need any of these. but we got them. cheryl: that's why the market sold off yesterday. are we going to get more cuts? he tempered that expectation. i want to move to china and trade. this slow progress now is looking more and more like the chinese are playing out a waiting game, a long game with the united states. mnuchin, lighthizer on a plane right now, coming home as we speak. when they get back, they didn't get any true progress. that's something powell talked about yesterday. >> it seems as if this back and forth is going to go on. i'd expect an announcement in the spring of next year. from what i understand, the trade deal is almost already c it's important for china to save face and look like they're coming out with a whip ahead of this. -- win ahead of this. i don't know how they can win

anything. we hold all the cards. the longer they wait, the more foreign investment goes to places like vietnam, south america, north america and global supplies are moving away. cheryl: if they think the president is going to win another terming and he may just, it will basically crater these negotiations. over to you. lauren: the feds are looking to crack down on the latest college aid loophole. we'll have details. it's been 15 years since harold and kumar went to white castle. >> i want 30 sliders and cherry cokes. >> i want the same, except make my diet cokes. lauren: we'll have how you can join in on the anniversary. keep it radi right here. ♪ sugar, honey, honey. ♪ you are my candy girl. ♪ and you got me wanting

shanghai composite down 06.8% -- 0.8%. in london, the ftse 100 is up 4 points, the cac is up 37, dax gaining 40. let's bring in ranko bearish. good to see you. good morning. we heard from the fed yesterday. today, your turn, bank of england. what do you think? >> the bank of england's problem isn't policy. we no they will leave rates unchanged. the problem is how they deal with the risk of a no deal brexit. in the past it's been pretty easy for the bank of england. all they have to say is a no deal brexit is not government policy, therefore we're not going to put it in our forecast. we've got a new government. the new government looks to be far more willing to do a no deal brexit than the previous one. the question is, how far will bank of england go in really truthfully telling us how bad a no deal brexit is going to be. lauren: and how do they address the free-fall in sterling?
