the contract expired which is why it continued the way it did. gm put out a statement, i quote, the negotiations have resumed. our goal remains to reach an agreement that builds a stronger future for our employees and our business. gm said they're reinvesting $7 billion over the next four years, 5400 jobs, even talks now about reopening two of the four idle factories. we have a source saying that the main sticking point of the negotiations that went on yesterday into the evening was the fact that they don't plan on bringing back a lot of production from mexico. that is a major concern, that a lot of the production has moved to mexico. we had one uaw international representative, kiren martin, speak about the negotiations. listen in. >> we're willing to stay out as long as it takes for us to accomplish our goals and get a fair and equitable contract for our membership.

cheryl: president trump said that it appears likely that iran is responsible for the attack on saudi arabia's oil assets over the weekend.

the president backing off somewhat on a military response. if it turns out iran is the culprit in this, what other options does he have. what options do we have? it seems like neither the saudis nor the u.s. really want a military response to this. but at the end of the day, iran is ramping up with their attacks, if indeed it was iran. >> we need to really keep in mind that this was an attack on the kingdom of saudi arabia, not on the united states. and the unite united states dona formal security obligation to the kingdom. we need to think about what is in america's interests and america's interests here are fairly limited. the united states needs to make sure there isn't terrorism emanateing from the middle east and we need to make sure that global oil supplies are not disrupted in the long run. this attack isn't going to affect either of those things. our acher actions here need to e

restrained. president trump understands that. cheryl: they've already come after us. this isn't just about the saudi attack over the weekend. we've got tankers that have been attacked, not just us but other allies a around the world, the u.k. i'm thinking of. and then they've gone after our drones. remember in june, the president was real close to doing something but he called it off at the last minute, an you attack on the iranians. i think it's a bigger problem than just the saudis getting a attacked on saturday. >> i think president trump is right to have a more restrained approach to things. we have to remember, again, we have very limited interests here and it's important to see that the maximum pressure campaign really isn't working. so iran's economy has certainly been harmed but their bad behavior hasn't changed. i think we ought to look to diplomacy rather than using military power and military force. again, we should be strong but we should use that to back up diplomacy to end this crisis. cheryl: to your point, i'm glad you brought this up, they're the

third largest defense spender in the world, the saudis are, $67 billion and change in 2018. why are they slow to accept u.s. intelligence that says that it was iran that hit them on saturday? what are they waiting for, do you think? >> well, the question is whether it was iran or whether it was iranian proxies. remember, saudi arabia is involved in a war in yemen and this war has actually been going pretty badly for saudi arabia, it's also bad for the yes yemen. we need to disen tangle ourselves from these kind of fights. it ultimately won't be good for the world and the united states. president trump is right to be restrained, to pull back from military options that other people in washington are trying to promote that haven't been working. we've been fighting there for decades and it hasn't been working to secure our interests, our safety, our economic prosperity. cheryl: we are waiting o waitia

press conference from the saudi energy ministry, we're waiting for any updates they can give us. lauren: specifically, how much oil did they get back online because we saw oil prices soar after those weekend attacks that knocked off half of saudi arabia's oil capacity. right now, oil is down 1% here in the u.s., 62, 28 a barrel. still elevated. compare that to the close back on friday, 54, 85. and you can see the difference. bill flynn is the senior market analyst at price futures group and fox business contributor. he joins us now. do you think saudi arabia got their supplies back online. rick perry, energy secretary says they're watching and waiting to see if we have to tap our emergency reserves in the u.s. >> you know, we're hearing mixed things. the saudi aramco press conferences is going to be huge. early yesterday there were reports they were getting some

production back online fairly quickly. what we're hearing overnight is that now the latest word is that it could take weeks or months to get production back online. saudi arabia's customers are hearing from saudi arabia that deliveries of oil that were expected soon are going to be delayed to later in the month. they haven't declared an official force majeure which is the inability to carry out a contract. but they are talking about delays. i think this press conference is going to be huge, not only to find out when production is going to come back online but what they're going to do to stop an attack in the future. lauren: so then explain why brent and wti are both down this morning. >> i think it's a little bit of a pause because right now it doesn't look like there's going to be an immediate military response to what's been happening. i think that's easing the concerns a little bit. having said that, i don't think the military option is off the

table. just because donald trump is telling everybody that they're not looking at a military response, he's also said in the past, i'm never going to tip my hand, right? if i'm going to make an attack, it's going to be a surprise attack. i'm not going to signal my intentions. so i think even though the market isn't expecting an immediate you attack, i don't think you can tack that off the table. lauren: well said. thank you for the perspective this morning. what consumers are paying at the gas pump, that rose overnight, $2.59 per gallon. phil, thank you. >> thank you. cheryl: let's take a look at futures this morning. we have a mixed bag. it's somewhat flat. the fed's meeting gets underway today. are we going to get that quarter point cut? we shall see tomorrow. for now, a tepid start to your tuesday. dow down 5, nasdaq down 4 and-a-half. still ahead, a show about nothing. finding a new home.

state. [ cheering and applause ] cheryl: all right. president trump stirring up the crowd at a rally in new mexico last night. he did lose the state to hillary clinton back in 2016 as he said. that'not a surprise since the se has not gone red since 2004. the president made a big push last night. is he going to turn it around? let's bring in commentary writer, tiana lowe. new mexico, do you think the president has a shot of it going the other way? >> unfortunately, it seems unlikely in the next year. however, there is an interesting void in new mexico where obviously hillary clinton did win the state but 10% of the popular vote in new mexico did go to gary johnson. it is a state with some republican past. the president is correct that the demographics are not destiny, especially when you look at how diverse hispanic americans are. they don't tend to vote one way. but that being said, i think that when you see some of the concerning polling of the head to head matchups between trump

and, say, joe biden, in states like texas, he needs to focus on consolidating turnout where he knows he can get it. it was only 80,000 voters in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan that gave him the white house. cheryl: that's one of the things that helped him beat hill hillary clinton, he was on the ground so much more. he loves the rallies. i think he'll be out there. let's talk about els elizabeth warren. interesting story with elizabeth warren. even frank luntz said she's got quite the game when she gets on the stage. her numbers are gaining. she seems to be taking a bite out of sanders. joe biden still leading in the real clear politics average but warren seems to be really taking a lead here. what do you say about her? >> elizabeth warren is a high energy candidate and she doesn't necessarily come across at her best on national media and on television. there is a reason why she gets a lot of grass roots turnouts in

states like iowa, even yesterday in manhattan. if bernie doesn't exit the race, he's going to keep that 20% of the electorate that he's consolidating. his base is loyal to him, in the same way trump's base is loyal. cheryl: what about the reports that joe biden and allies of joe biden are starting to take a closer look at elizabeth warren and this progressive message. it seems that she might be a real threat and they're starting to figure out how they're going to respond. >> the thing about elizabeth warren, the biggest concern has always been electability. the longer she can show gains, the more she can make the case that she is electable. the polling is not vague about the fact that joe biden is the number one candidate that's equipped to beat president trump. cheryl: yeah, above 20% and they're in the teens still. but it's early and you never know and that's what makes it so darn fun to cover. thank you very much. >> thank you. lauren: and today president trump will be holding private fundraisers in california. they're so private that donors

seen but i think that yesterday's muted volatility has more to do with the fed than it does with the oil situation. of course, you have to see how long it's going to take them to recover and get more output going and are there any more attacks ahead of us. there are plenty of risks we can't quite calculate. lauren: when we see 15% jump in the price of oil and gas prices rise from $2.56 a gallon yesterday to $2.59 a gallon today, up to a quarter more this month as predicted by triple a, does that mean inflation is there, so therefore the fed, their cushion to cut rates even more is removed? >> well, if it's an external thing that's sort of a freak accident, i don't know how much you can really say, it could put some pressure on inflation. it's just if the price stays up there, if the price of oil stays above $62.50, now you we have a new price for oil and, yes, that will reflect in the inflationary situation. if it falls back because the

situation is resolved, there's no major conflict, and then some of our oil output actually kind of makes up for some of their loss of oil output, then i see it kind of going back to normal. i don't think this is going to weigh too much on the fed's decision tomorrow because i they're going to wait to see what the ultimate impact is. lauren: same question to you. >> our country is far more resilient when it comes to supply disruption than we were in the past. our economy has grown by more than 50%. we have doubled our oil production. but our energy use has remained stable throughout the time. what that means is the supply shocks are troubling but this is going to just have very modest effects on economic growth and just modest effects on inflation. where we would see longer term problems is if we were to actually go enter into a major war or if the supplies remain offline for an extended period of time. if that were to happen, we have

enormous supplies of our own energy here. we are the biggest -- world's largest oil producer, we were the world's largest oil exporter back in june. we can ramp up our own production if we need to. lauren: we are in the trade war with china and we'll have deputy level meetings this week before the big meeting between the presidents of both countries next month. when the federal reserve looks at this, is there an argument to be made that they should cut rates, perhaps dramatically, fr the sake of global competitiveness and that would be stronger, a stronger argument than just the u.s. economy is strong, we don't need to cut rates as much? >> well, we really believe that the federal reserve should be actually focused on its primary mission. the primary mission should be providing liquid at this in the market -- liquidity in the marketplace for when we need it. interest rates themselves, that's not going to determine economic growth. japan, germany, they've had negative long-term rates. japan has had that now for a

number of years and guess what, our economy is doing better and growing faster and that's because we actually have put into effect those policies that spark growth. we've lowered our tax rates. we've cut back on regulations. we should keep the focus on that and i really highly doubt the fed is going to take really into account what happened over the weekend in determining what levels they're going to attempt to set interest rates at later this week. lauren: do you think, francis, the president will get his big interest rate cut? do you think we'll see zero or negative rates here in the u.s.? do you think that's possible? >> i do think that we are ultimately headed to negative rates unless something drastic intervenes and that's because we have to somehause somehow sers record level of debt. negative rates are preferable to a default situation. the business cycle peaked in the third quarter of 2017 and europe and china probably peaked in the third quarter of 2018. here are the risks on both

sides. if we lower rates too aggressively, then we do help with the debt service and we do stimulate somewhat -- in 1937, they were pushing on a string phrase which means there's only so much stimulus you can do. in any case, we do that, going in tandem from the rest of the world and we keep yields from ticking up which puts risk on the bond market. we've had capital coming in from europe and other places because we have positiv pos positive yi. if you reduce the rates too many times, you lose that. lauren: thank you for the time. cheryl: drug deal ergs are reportedly targeting sites like facebook and youtube as new ways to illegally sell steroids. according to new research from the digital citizens alliance, the illegal drugs are marketed on posts on instagram and twitter and were found using simple search terms like human
