the political campaign, sunland, saying i think you're incorrect about president trump's intentions, the president has been he very clear, no idea he o quo of any time. i suggest we stop the back and forth texts. here's the real point. it's unclear whether either ambassador will be called to testify in light of the texts. the hearings will continue today. ithe inspector is back on the hill, testifying behind closed doors. we may get developments perhaps he later today or over the weekend. cheryl: we'll follow all of it. griff, thank you. lauren: let's go overseas. hong kong's government is taking a harder line against pro democracy protesters there. carrie lamb says face masks at public demonstrations will be banned starting tomorrow. the protesters have been using

open around the country without enough people to fill them. google's program helps workers get qualified to apply without needing a college degree to do it. lauren and cheryl. lauren: hillary, thank you. make sure to catch ivanka trump on trish regan prime time tonight at 8:00. cheryl: investors are gearing up for the jobs report. the economy expected to add jobs but at a weaker than expected -- but a weaker than expected read wag be the latest in a string of disappointing economic reports this week. let's bring in gus gako, ceo of hudson valley investment advisors. we're expecting the estimate, 145,000 jobs, unemployment rates are supposed to stay at 3.7%. what are you expecting for the report this morning? >> it should be pretty close to those numbers. i think people got spooked by the lei earlier this week. if you look at those numbers, have you to look past them. things are still pretty strong. the housing market, you see an expansion in housing and jobs

are still pretty plentiful. if you have those two things going, there's no real reduction in terms of the economy. it's still we'll call it good, but a little slower than it was in terms of gdp growth. cheryl: you saw the manufacturing jobs and the adp report on wednesday, that was a positive sign, which goes against what we saw with the ism number which hurt the market. >> correct. if you look at the lei versus the pmi, there's a market pmi, it's 800 data points and it's telling you that there is continued growth. it actually hit a high. so if i'm looking at things like, say we ended up having 17,000 new vehicles that were sold, of that, 70% are pickup trucks and that's when the construction trade is doing well. cheryl: it's true. >> it's pointing to strength. it's just a little slower than it was. cheryl: we've seen growth in new home sales. part of that has been low interest rates, people are taking advantage of that for the 30 year loans. at the same time, we've got this big jump if the futures market yesterday for a rate cut for

october. we weren't even talking about a rate cut for october. now we're at 90% this morning. for a quarter point cut. do you expect that? >> i think you're going to end up having to see a cut. if not, the markets are going to discount that we'll see more slowing. right now, the economy is being held up by the consumer and the housing market. i mean, it's continuing to look positive. cheryl: we're going to hear from jay powell today. we'll he see if he gives us a line -- a little hint as to what's going on. real quick, elizabeth warren came out with a proposal on the campaign trail, she says the first day if she's elected she will sign an executive order, all federal contractors would have to pay $15 for a minimum wage, to right to work laws across the country, and would make it easier for folks to unionize. she is starting to show her hand again as being frankly anti-business. what do you make of those ideas. >> i think the two things you have to keep in mind, there's unintended consequences.

if you go into a mcdonald's you'll see the effect of a $15 an hour wage increase. you go in front of a screen as opposed to a young person that gets their first job. new york city is different than des moines, iowa. the differential in terms of what you're getting here versus there in terms of incomes really will put a dampening effect in terms of job t growth, especially for entry work. cheryl: that's a good point about the wages -- it's a state by state story, city by city story. gus, thank you very much. we're going to he see, folks, what happens this morning with that jobs report. complete coverage and an analysis of the september jobs report, "mornings with maria," that starts at 8:00 a.m. eastern time today. lauren: united airlines is looking for pilots, 10,000 of them to be exact. united is offering a number of perks to fill an anticipated gap over the next 10 years including help with training costs, coaching, and learning tools. student pilots can spend more than $100,000 in school costs and accumulate the minimum hours needed to work for a regional

lauren: joe biden's campaign releasing its latest fund raising numbers and it's not looking good. biden raising $15.2 million in the last three months, that puts him behind bernie sanders and pete buttigieg and it's also a 30% drop from the prior quarter. is this another sign that the

frontrunner and former vp is running out of steam? let's take that question to washington examiner reporter emily larson. emily, is he running out of steam? i would think the ukraine situation would help him with his fund raising. >> i would say that the $15 million figure is certainly not good news for the biden campaign. elizabeth warren is going up in the polls and she's starting to catch him or even surpass him depending on the polls. that combined with seeming lack ofe enthusiasm from a large base of grass t root support with the fund raising figures is troubling going into the fall. the ukraine story, people i talked to are waiting to see how this play out for joe biden. on the one hand he looks like a sympathetic figure on these attacks from trump in one sense. on the other sense, it does highlight hunter biden was on the board of a ukrainian gas company. we don't have indication of an

illegal issue but it does look uncomfortable. lauren: this is one of the reasons that senator warren is rising in the polls. and it's also interesting, it's one of the reasons why trump and the r envelope c had that record -- rnc had that record haul o of $125 million. i want to talk about an issue near and dear to voters. healthcare. what do you expect biden to say about his healthcare plans. yesterday president trump signed an order to broaden a medicare private insurance option. he framed it as an attack against medicare for all. >> biden has been criticizing medicare for all on the campaign trail. he says he doesn't want to eliminate private insurance. some other candidates have poked holes in biden's healthcare plan, saying it would leave about 9 million people uninsured because it wouldn't virtually eliminate and replace all

private insurance with a government run system. but joe biden's response to trump would be, look, you wanted to eliminate obamacare. you wanted to get rid of these things that barack obama administration implemented and so i think that's going to be the challenge for the trump campaign going forward, as they try and give these little -- these proposals that expand some choice in access in government program but they have yet to have a full comprehensive healthcare response. lauren: finally here, the other topic that is being discussed from the dems is the idea of being a billionaire, that it's outright immoral according to some and they're going to pay for their socialist plans by taxing your money and a look at bernie sanders' wealth tax by harvard economist actually shows it's better to be married whereas elizabeth warren's wealth tax has a marriage pen l at. penalty. what do you make of all this? >> that's the problem with these

proposals that bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are proposing. a wealth taxis very outside of the norm of was we have as a tax structure right now and i think those proposed -- that article shows a little bit of the trouble with that and the challenges in implementing it. that won't only be the only challenge, figuring out the marriage thing, how will you value these millionaire and billionaire assets, how are you going to implement a valuation structure and will billionaires and millionaires still hide some of their assets in offshore accounts. lauren: capitalism or money is mobile and there's always a way around. emily, thanks for the time. have a good weekend. >> thank you so much. cheryl: let's take a look at how your money is doing this morning. it is jobs friday. so all of this could change. but right now the dow is lower by 63, s&p down by 8, nasdaq is down by 19 and a quarte 19 19 a. manufacturing takmanufacture dag

>> reporter: good morning, lauren and cheryl. i'm at the first ever made in america conference where products from across the country are being featured right here in this conference space. this is rose tenant, the spokesperson for this event. this is such a cool concept and so patriotic. >> that's exactly how i feel. my heart swells when i walk through this hall. american made these quality and cost efficient products. we're getting more competitive as we start sourcing more materials and products right here in domestically in the u.s. and i am so happy for these manufacturers because they've been committed to only sourcing here in the u.s. and now they're benefiting from it and we're seeing new businesses pop up as a result and some of the businesses that were producing those materials are now doing even better. so quality and cost effective is what's so important. >> reporter: it's such a win-win. it's all about keeping the business here, keeping the money here. check out these hats, guys. american made is great again. right here we have some -- i'll

put that down right there. we have ledgers, some planners. i want to take you over to the man of the hour, this is don buckner. he came up with this entire idea seven months ago. he put this whole entire conference together. it's happening today. how are you feeling and congratulations? >> a sense of relief and excitement at the same time. it's incredible for these people to b be here. >> reporter: why did you want to feature products exclusively made in america? >> it's never been done before. it's been a 20 year vision to put this together. the trade show is the very beginning of this. this is a movement. there's a lot of passion attached to this, to convince consumers to spend american dollars on american products, that's the goal. if we can get american consumers to spend those dollars correctly and consider origin when they make that purchase, our economy will be significantly stronger. >> reporter: tell me about some of the manufacturers that are here today. >> well, there's some that you may recognize, there's wellborn

cabinets, a company alabama, great company. they go from log to your kitchen. and we have channel log, a familiar name in the tool aisle. >> reporter: you said a lot of the businesses are small so they struggle to get here but they wanted to come because they wanted to do something patriotic. >> a significant number of them said i don't know how we're going to get there but we're going to get there. for many, this is their first show and manufacturers as a whole do a terrible job of marketing their product. they know how to build it but to sell it, distribute it, put it in the market, they don't do a very good job. >> reporter: this event starts with the pledge of allegiance, the nation alan them and a prayer -- national anthem and a prayer so it's a well rounded event taking place in downtown indianapolis. lauren: i'm going to take it from there. we're looking at a new survey, it shows that six in 10 american consumers would rather buy an american made product than an imported one.

many of them even willing to pay more for those goods. so we ask why aren't more companies making items right here in the good old usa. we have tony uphos the president of thomas which does supply chain management et cetera joining us now. why aren't more companies making things in the u.s.? >> here's what's happening. it's a slow but sure progression. we've seen p subpoena a stie -- we've seen a reshoring of u.s. manufacturing. this is not just done for altuistic reasons. it makes good economic sense. u.s. manufacturers have become competitive on the world stage today, a advanced robotics and automation. we created 284,000 jobs in u.s. manufacturing last year alone. some of the jobs created by the increased ry reshoring. lauren: do you think the trade war with china --we have new

rounds of negotiations, how is that bringing jobs back to the united states and how is that dampeninening the economy where there might not be a demand to buy those manufactured goods. >> i don't think we know yet. what we're feeling in the market is a bit of a pause, not a decline, based on uncertainty. it affects mostly tier 2 or tier 3 suppliers the most because they're having to reassemble their supply chains. if you're a large player, you have set supply chains that can likely absorb some price volatility. you're a second tier or third tier supplier, meaning you're smaller, you can't pass the cost on. lauren: is the consumer willing to pay the added cost? >> that's the question. i think so far, the answer to that is yes. i think over time that uncertainty will dampen markets. lauren: where are we -- if you look at at the health of the manufacturing sector. we got the dismal read earlier in the week, which triggered a

selloff. in the jobs report today we're expecting to see 4,000 manufacturing jobs added. >> he three quick points. that survey is done by a trade association called ism. they sample 300 people and you attempt to lift that to a $2.3 trillion market which is what u.s. manufacturing was in 2018. it doesn't make any sense. the same day that report was released, ihs, a professional research company with a broader and deeper sample size, came to the b conclusion that in september u.s. manufacturing actually expanded to its highest point in the last five months. so i think there's some counter-balancing data. tommassnet.com, we track all of the buying. we can see expansion in demand in the month of september. so i think there's counter-balancing on this and we need to b realistic. lauren: it' wobble. i'll call it wollly. cheryl: looking to save money and be happier. the key might be quitting

facebook. researchers studied more than 1700 students at texas a & m university and found those that didn't use the site for a week were less depressed. they also made fewer impulse buys online. researchers say the results show how add dick testify facebook can be -- addictive can be. we're seeing an escalation in selling this morning. we were down more than 300 points yesterday. then the session actually closed up higher. now we're in the red again. we'll see what that jobs report gives us. that's going to be this morning, 8:00 a.m. eastern time. also coming up, batman's biggest bad guy is coming to theaters today. >> one small thing. >> yeah. >> will you bring me about, can you introduce me as joker. cheryl: the movie's got theaters on high alert. is fear going to keep audiences away? a lot of controversy about this one. and a new deal has got big bird and his friends on the move. we're going to tell you how you can get to sesame street.

my whole life, i didn't know if i even really existed. but i do.

people are starting to notice. cheryl: well, joker is opening in theaters today. the movie is about the early life of the batman villain, putting some theaters on high alert. some folks are concerned that the film glorifies violence and may inspire a copy cat of the 2012 colorado theater shooting at a screening of the dark knight rises. should movie goers be worried and should we see it. there's a lot of controversy about the movie. it depicts violence, mass shooting, he he's got mental issues. some of the families of the aurora victims, two of those were children, we should say, say they don't think hollywood is making the right decision by releasing the film. >> it's a difficult and complicated situation. i think on the one hand, unfortunately people are easily influenced especially young people, especially people who are on the edge. and what this film does do is

make you similar pathetic to -- sympathetic to someone who is sociopathic. that's a danger but at the same time it's not the first film -- i don't know if this necessarily glorifies violence. cheryl: their point was they make him look sympathetic. he is a murderer, he goes out and starts shooting people. >> i'll use a reference. the movie monster, she was a prostitute and serial killer. you didn't necessarily think she should be killing but you understood why she was. cheryl: okay. that's true. >> and in this movie, it's a similar situation. you understand what drove him over the edge. the danger is -- who do you blame? do yodo you blame society? do you blame his upbringing. he basically went off his meds because the government cut funding, so -- cheryl: political side note too. >> there's that.

cheryl: that's interesting. >> it only touches upon that. cheryl: we should talk about the money real quick, 80 to $100 million is the projection for opening weekend. warner brothers has really tamped down marketing and promotion. they didn't let print reporters on the red ca carpet for this thing. will that hurt the box office? >> absolutely not. i think it makes it more interesting. people are interested, what is this movie, how did the joker become the joker, and that's kind of where this movie -- the joker never had a great origin story and this is it. if this becomes part of the new dc universe, it could work. but you kind of wait for joker to become the genius that he is. he's crazy, but he's genius. he'.cheryl: the buzz about joan phoenix's performance -- this is oscar season -- >> his performance makes the film. cheryl: mike sergeant thank you
