lauren: need a job? amazon is hosting a hiring event next week. they plan to fill 30,000 full and part-time jobs by holding a career day in six cities on september 17th. arlington, virginia, boston, chicago, dallas, nashville and seattle are the locations. ups says it's planning to hire 100,000 seasonal employees to support the anticipated increase in package volume. that will begin in november. christmas shopping. cheryl: all right. ready. well, it has been a banner year for the stock market, something that the president spoke about last night before leaving for a l rally in north carolina. >> just so you understand, our country is doing phenomenally well. there's a chance -- i don't want to talk about it, but over a very short period of time that we'll hit a yet new record. i think we have 118 records for hitting the top stock market.

two weeks ago the fake news was trying to convince people that maybe there's a possibility for a h recession, well, a lot of things have happened, very positive. cheryl: that was yesterday afternoon, before he had the rally yesterday. todd hou horowitz is here. the dow has had 107 record highs since election day. there's a lot of talk about a recession. do you see anything out there that tells you that this economy is nothing but strong right now? >> well, good morning, cheryl. i think we're in good -- great shape. i think we are in the early stages of a recession. again, it will not necessarily affect the markets today or tomorrow but i think there's some things to look at and the lack of now hiring as much as they were hiring, we know we have great jobs numbers and they're lower but when you're starting to see companies start giving employees more hours and not bringing in new, that's usually a sign that there could be changes coming. there's a few other things.

the massive amounts of debt out there and the company trying of raise money through debt because they have to sell goods. so those are some issues out there. but of course i think we'll get to the next record high. we have just broken out the other day a new rally, so i think that now we might see another leg up here and i think we will at least test the past highs here. i think there's a chance for 120 and 108. cheryl: how worried are you about what's happening between china and the united states? talks are scheduled for next month. but it seems more and more that investors are just saying you know what, we're likely -- maybe we won't get a deal or if we do it's going to be what long way -- be a long ways out. we have to be patient. >> i don't think we're going to get a deal. originally i thought we would get one quickly. as we get closer to next year's election, i think that china will probably try to hold out and see if there is a new president in place. i think they like the old deal they had where they took total advantage of the united states. so i don't think there's really

going to be a deal and i think the agricultural markets are telling us there won't be a deal. however, i think investors are now past that. we're looking at the chase for yield. as investors look for places to go, there's one place in the world that you can get real yield still which is the united states stock market and as long as that's the case, money rules and price rules and i think that's what we're going to see. cheryl: the u.s. dollar is part of more than 85% of global currency trades. the dollar is still the place to be. i remember peter navarro was on with maria bartiromo on sunday morning futures, he was saying the economy is strong. he continues to say the chinese are paying for the tariff war. you can dispute that or not. but all of this could change when we hear from the ecb later this week and we get the fed decision next week. if we get more stimulus flooding into global markets, it's not going to matter. it's going to be game on for the markets, right, todd? >> i think so. i think, look, the way you look at it is very simple. the u.s. dollar is another safety asset which people run

to. i think you're going to see mario draghi go out in his final meeting with guns ablazing, looking to do whatever it takes to make his markets go higher, which will propel our markets. i think the free money will continue to push markets higher as bond yields fall, as we see the consistent lowering of rates, we're going to have the massive rally coming out of there. cheryl: guns ablazing. we'll see if jay powell has his gunblazing next week. lauren: wendy's is bringing back breakfast, spending $20 million to add more items to the menu and extend the hours. items include a chicken biscuit and a frosty made with coffee. right now wendy's offers breakfast at only 300 locations. cheryl: i will try the frosty with the coffee. lauren: me too. cheryl: millennials may not want to pay rent. but a new survey says they're willing to pay top dollar for grocery.

this is a study by whole foods. nearly 70% of millennials will spend more money if they can get high quality food. they will pay more money for food that is responsibly sourced. i think a lot of people are kind of going in that direction. lauren: i agree. that is the trend, especially with millennials. first, it was google and now a child. why the ftc is targeting an 8-year-old kid. and the fda going after juul, over more than just the company's vaping products. keep it here, "fbn: a.m." ♪ i've been hanging around this town. ♪ i've been thumbing around this old townan for so long. with technology that helps you offer shoppers a better experience. take your company's app. we can add in all sorts of capabilities, which help your customers manage rewards, offers, and payments on the fly. and now, applying for credit

to the folks out there what anti-trust is about. if you remember the movie with daniel day-lewis, there will be blood, he said if you're drinking the milkshake and your straw goes all the way to the person at the other restaurant and drinks up all of their milkshake, that's a company sucking up competition. what the ags are saying is google has, for an example, sucked up all of the competition from all of the other search engines. lauren: nine out of 10 searches go through google. >> that's right. what they're saying is usually monopolies were busted from the late 1800s to the 1900s if the price went up and the consumer was affected because they had no other choice but price. here with google, remember what's happening, companies out there are buying ads, only on google and they're steering the algorithms so the consumer only has one choice. they have to dial into google to find what they're looking for. lauren: possible outcomes here? >> i think they've got a really

good chance, lauren. i actually do. finally after 25, 30 years of the internet, i think we're going to see some type of relief to try to rein in and let others come into the field. lauren: we can debate whether that's good or bad for the industry but i want to talk about the college admissions scandal. felicity huffman will be sentenced on friday. she wants probation. is she going to prison instead? >> i think she's going to prison for one month. and very quickly, what she did is she's trying to minimize -- these pleaded guilty. she's trying to minimize her sentence. i've got to tell you, for a former desperate housewife star, she looks desperate by saying, gosh, minimize my sentence because i can't h get work. lauren: where's the violent crime? who lost money? >> it's the kid who didn't get that seat because felicity and other folks paid for their kid's sat scores. they paid -- remember, it's the fraud of using u.s. mail. so they paid for this across

state lines. lauren: it's all about privilege and fairness. brian, thank you. >> thank you. cheryl: well, e-cigarette maker juul is facing backlash from the feds. in a warning letter, the fda claimed the company ignored the law by marketing their products as safer than cigarettes. the fda said the company targeted children. if they don't work to correct marketing they could face fines or other consequences. the cdc is investigating 450 case is of a mysterious illness connected to vaping. we have action on wall street to show you. the dow is under pressure. we got weak economy data out of china, two different reports showing their economy might be in trouble. dow is down 55, s&p is down 6 and-a-half, nasdaq is down 24 and three quarters. going to be good for the trade negotiations, though. could the war over fake news be headed to instagram? why the popular app could be in the middle of a 2020 controversy.

(pilot) we're going to be on the tarmac for another 45 minutes or so.

cheryl: a brand-new poll shows the three frontrunners on the democratic side are commanding a solid lead. joe biden is in the front at 27%, bernie sanders at 19, elizabeth warren with 17%. a 10 point lead over fourth place kamala harris. a former pennsylvania governor is accusing warren now of hypocrisy, saying her campaign, which has sworn off big donations and any influence from the wealthy is actually built of left overfunding from her 2018 senate bid which was funded by large donors. this is ed rundell that made the comments.

could this be a dent for the progressive candidate. let's bring in anders heckstrom. is she a hypocrite? >> can you blame her for sticking her hand in the cookie jar one last time before closing the lid? cheryl: no, i can't. the new york times reported it was $10 million that was taken from her 2018 senate bid. >> i certainly think there is certainly a tinge of pock hypocy to it. i think she is serious about her anti-wealth rhetoric. this is a dent but i don't think it's going to affect how people -- like how seriously people view her policies today. i think she's done a pretty good job of selling the idea that she is anti-big business, so i don't think it will be too effective. cheryl: okay. does the average voter know the behind the scenes stories? >> exactly. cheryl: no, they don't. that's the problem.

let's talk about joe biden. there's a report out in politico that says basically that all of the other campaigns are waiting for a biden collapse, that even though right now he's way ahead in the polls and if democratic voters want electability, it's still joe biden against president trump. all of these campaigns are coming up with plan b, when you falls apart. is this the gaffe machine? what's going on? >> i think that's been the feeling that people have had about joe biden's campaign from the beginning. the day he announced his campaign, people said oh, this is the best day his campaign will ever have, the day he announces. to a certain extent that's been true. he has been consistently dropping all his -- his lead has done nothing but shrink since he announced his campaign. it hasn't shrunken a whole lot, as much as other people expected but it has shrunk. every time he's gone on a stage, he's made a dozen -- dozens of

gaffes and sort of embarrassed himself in a lot of ways. i can understand why a lot of campaigns are smelling blood in the water because a lot of the time biden seems not able to even string a sentence together. cheryl: i was going to say, we're coming up on the next democratic debate later this week, anders. is this going to be make or break -- maybe not for biden so much but what about kamala harris? >> i don't think kamala harris has much of a chance at this point. i think the story is sanders, warren, versus biden and i think the real chance that either sanders or warren have is if the other drops out, then the other could beat biden. i think that's the path that either of those have to winning the democratic nomination. cheryl: we're getting ready, iowa, new hampshire, a few months away. and we're going to have you back to talk all about it. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. lauren: the cia slamming a cnn report claiming a russian informant had to be extracted because they were com compromisy

president trump. they say misguided speculation that the president's handling of the nation's most sensitive intelligence drove an alleged ex filtration operation is inaccurate. according to the washington post, the russian informant had provided information to the u.s. for decades. the new york times says the unidentified person was vital in uncovering russian election meddling. they were reportedly extracted from russia back in 2017 over concerns over being caught by the russian government. cheryl: well, instagram could be the next battleground against fake news in the 2020 election. a new report from new york university lists the social media app as one of the largest threats to the u.s. election. researchers point out dis information is largely spread through images, rather than texts. lauren: speaking of fake news, the third time not the charm for facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg. zuckerberg rejecting a new and

third request to testify before lawmakers from a dozen nations working to investigate disinformation. both canada and the u.k. threatening to summon zuckerberg after he skipped prior gatherings in their countries. rhode island democrat david sisilini will be the first u.s. lawmaker to participate when the group meets in november. cheryl: a special back-to-school gift for kind kindergartners to tell you about in boston. the public school system is starting savings accounts for every kindergartner in the area with $50 in each account. it is available to the students when they graduate high school. lauren: let's take a look at how your money is doing this morning. the dow looks like it might break a four-day winning streak, futures down 71, down 8 on the s&p and 31 on the nasdaq. still ahead, another bad day for boris johnson. why the british prime minister just can't catch a break.

are his days numbered? and we're going to tell you how you can own the car that broke the 300-mile per hour barrier. keep it here on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ i woke up in a new bugatti. ♪ i woke up in a new bugatti. ♪ i woke up in a new bugatti.

cheryl: the bugatti that broke the 300-mile-an-hour speed barrier could be yours, or at least a replica of one. they plan to sell 30 copies of the car. the car is not going to be exact replicas. they will have a limiter to prevent the car from going over 300 miles per hour. the company is considering allowing owners to bring their cars to the track and have them modified so they can at least hit that top speed in a safe environment. lauren: u.k. lawmakers reject early elections, that's strengthening the british pound and pressuring the ftse 100. this is ahead of this week's meeting of the european central bank. let's start with brexit. craig erlum is a senior market analyst. he joins us from london. there's a showdown between parliament and boris johnson. johnson wants a do or die brexit. are we looking at a delay

instead? and jp morgan this morning says the most likely scenario is boris johnson resigns. >> let's face it, we're all playing guessing games at the moment. i'm sure in a week our guesses will be modified and a month from now it will be different again. i think what jp morgan is saying is the most likely, ultimately boris' hands are tied. while they will try to get around the law, if they can't go around the law they certainly won't break it. boris isn't going to risk jail time over this. i think the most likely scenario is they find they can't get around the law, he resigns, the extension happens and then an election happens shortly after that. lauren: that is a real possibility that boris johnson can be put in jail over all of this, this three-year saga continues to continue. we have the ecb meeting later this week. what can they do? what will they do? will it make a difference, craig? >> i don't think it will make a difference, to be quite honest. we're looking at a bond market where so many bonds are in

negative yield territory, the 30-year german, the yield serve is in negative territory. how much more can a central bank do. they can cut the deposit rate by another 10 basis points. how much of a difference will that make? i feel like we're getting desperate and i think it's the government that's have to do more rather than the central bank. lauren: the deposit rate is minus 0.4% and what good is it? craig, thank you very much. cheryl: a california judge again has blocked the trump administration's new asylum rules. lauren: tracee carrasco here with the details. tracee: it is the second time u.s. district judge john tiger ordered a nationwide halt on the trump administration's plan to prevent most migrants from seeking asylum at the u.s., mexico border. the judge blocked the policy back in july but theth circuit court of appeals limited the order to california and arizona. tiger again blocked the rule nationwide, saying it was the

only practical way to proceed while the asylum restrictions are challenged in court. southwest airlines and boeing have been discussing reimbursement plans due to the grounding of the 737 max jet. southwest's ceo, gary kelly,s says he wants to share it with employees. southwest says the grounding of the jet has cost $225 million in the first half of the year alone. if that money is paid out evenly to all employees, each could receive about $3,800. cleveland browns odell beckham junior made headlines for his $350,000 watch he wore at sunday's game. now the nfl said beckham may have violated a rule that prohibits players from wearing hard objects. the league will meet with the star wide receiver and he could be fined. and that is what's happening now. cheryl: just silly decision by his -- i mean, come on. lauren: a $350,000 watch. cheryl: just a watch in general. that's a safety issue on the

field. glad the nfl is going to deal with that. tracee, thank you. coming un, apple is getting ready to unleash the latest and greatest products later today. but will the china trade war rain on the p raid? we'll talk about it. has degree is looking to make -- hasbro is looking to make monopoly your new favorite game. here's a hint. it's ladies night. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ at synchrony, we're changing what's possible. for instance, we know how your customers shop. and what they've already purchased. like this lamp. and we use those insights to show you what they might consider buying next. mid-century modern, nice. that way, you can keep sending them offers for the perfect products. and that keeps them coming back.
