inflation. she mentioned the fact that you've got unemployment in the mid-3% range in the country and she said that could be a catastrophe. tracee: crews in r new orleans are searching through the rubble of a collapsed hotel for the last two victims after two cranes looming dangerously over it are demolished. new orleans officials calling the fiery explosions a success. three workers were killed after the hard rock hotel partially collapsed last weekend. chick-fil-a says it's closing its first restaurant in britain 10 days after it opened. the move is in response to protests in lgbt groups, denouncing the company's opposition to same sex marriage. a public health alert. federal officials warning consumers about shop rite brand

cheryl: democratic presidential hopeful pete buttigieg proposing the hike the corporate tax rate back to 35% to pay for his healthcare plan. will the fl idea -- will the idy with investors and voters? let's bring in david dietz. many of us don't want to see the corporate tax rate back to 35%. >> why did we reduce it? it was to make a level playing field with how corporations are

taxed overseas. to the extent you have too much taxes here, corporations will go overseas and of course when you tax corporations at a higher level you'll get less research and development, you'll get less capital expansion and there's going to be less money available to hire additional workers. it doesn't make sense. cheryl: he's got to come up with $1.4 trillion to pay for his medicare for most plan. we'll talk about that later. let's talk about this piece in the new york times, about the fact that if the united states economies is so strong, why are tens of thousands of workers out on strike, talking about gm and chicago teachers for example. why is there a strike boom going on in the u.s. >> the unions are saying they gave back concessions when times were tough, now they want to take them back. the reality is this may make sense in terms of a union situation where you have a large employer but gm only has 17% of

the auto industry. they are continuing to lose share because they can't stay competitive. cheryl: ah you ahe toe salese -- auto sales have been slowing down in the last couple years. the ceos can't control that. the blame seems a bit misplaced from the unions. that's my opinion, anyway. let's talk about earnings season. boeing, that's going to be a big report. >> boeing is a tale of two stories. there's intense focus on the 737 max, what are the costs of that going out of service, when will that resume. what's that done to their backlog of orders. on the other hand, you've got a tremendous boom in air travel. boeing has 6,000 planes on back order, it's booming worldwide. it's a great fundamental business against this one very unfortunate situation. that's what we're looking at. cheryl: the stock has been volatile because of the max

story. could be volatile when they report this week. we played comments froms christine lagarde, she's going to run the ecb. she kind of warned the president, she said if you keep pushing the fed to lower interest rates with low unemployment, inflation will go nuts and the u.s. trade war will take the number one title away from the united states as the global financial power. which we've enjoyed that title for decades. she says we're at risk. are we? >> there's two thoughts. one is she's going to take theman mantethemantel of the tor in europe. she wants to set the tone. the federal reserve policy, central bank policy should be where the ball is going, where the puck is going, not where it is today. no one knows for sure. they missed the downturn in 2008. it's important for the federal reserve to look out and a see and insulate ourselves from what the tough economic windses are blowing from overseas.

cheryl: he sh shy.cheryl: shr opinions. tracee: andrew yang will push the freedom dividend today, the signature campaign promise of $1,000 a month for all americans. yang says the income would protect workers against the rise of automation. he says if the federal government were to give the money to americans, it would create a trickle-up economy. tomming up next, tensions -- coming up next, tensions escalating between president trump and nancy pelosi. how the president is responding this morning to the house speaker's surprise delegation to the middle east to discuss the conflict in syria. and first he was mocked for the way he blows out his birthday candles and now the internet has another bone to pick with mitt romney. ♪ keep me coming back for more. ♪ and i feel a little better than i did before. ♪ if i never see your face again

unbelievably, no reports of any deaths serious injuries. let's bring in janice dean with all the latest. you warned us last week it was going to be a rough weekend for the weather. you were right on. janice: they did have some warning and unfortunately not like a hurricane where we have days of preparation, sometimes we only have a few hours to really know what to do and know where to go if there's a watch or warning and that of course, that tornado happened last night so it's dark. i always advise folks to have their noaa weather radios on ifs there's the potential for severe weather outbreak and you get the warning. hopefully, because we had no deaths, people were on alert and knew what to do. heavily populate area, we'll see damage throughout the day today. we have tornado watches stretching from texas you through arkansas, up towards the ohio and tennessee river valley. we're not out of the woods yet but the line of strong storms will start to weaken throughout the morning hours but we still

have severe thunderstorm warned storms ahead of this cold front which sis one o is one of the mn ingredients we had yesterday to bring the severe weather threat. the threat extends from southeast texas, through louisiana, mississippi, parts of alabama and up towards tennessee and that will continue throughout the day, perhaps into the evening and then we'll watch this line move across the southeast and the mid-atlantic. still packing a punch. know what the to do if there's a watch or warning in your area. ladies, back to you. cheryl: hurricane season not over yet, janice. thank you so much. all right. well, nancy pelosi leading a bipartisan delegation out to the middle east amid all the chaos that's happening in syria. the visit is drawing sharp criticism from the president. tracee: mark meredith is live in washington with the newest twist in the battle between the president and the house speaker. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. never a dull moment. the speaker's office says the congressional delegation had a

chance to make multiple stops in the middle east, leaving with several leaders including the king of jordan, afgha afghanists president and mark esper. it was made up of nancy pelosi as well as several members of congress including one republican house member. pelosi's office put out a statement following the visit writing, quote, meeting with and hearing directly from our troops and diplomats on the ground is essential for congress to conduct effective oversight of our mission in afghanistan. president trump also had a chance to weigh in on the trip, as lawmakers continue to criticize his decision to pull troops out of syria. he be put out a tweet saying, quote, she should find out why obama grew drew the red line in the sand and did nothing, losing syria and all respect. now, kurdish military leaders tell fox news they're deeply disappointed in president trump's troop withdrawal decision but they remain hopeful to have a cooperative relationship with the u.s. all this comes as south carolina republican senator lindsey

graham says he now supports the president's efforts in syria. that's a major reversal from what we heard from him as of just last week. he was one of the president's toughest critics on the syria decision. >> i'm increasingly optimistic we can have historic outcomes in syria if we play our cards right. i blame erdogan for the invasion, not trump. >> reporter: last week, the house voted to approve a resolution condemning the president's syria strategy. several lawmakers including many republicans supported that measure and they're now calling for a new briefing from the administration on its syria strategy. all a this comes as president trump will hold a cabinet meeting later on today. cheryl: mark, thank you so much. we've got a lot more coming up. elizabeth warren dodged questions about her medicare for all plan for months. now she's ready to reveal some of her ideas but is cutting healthcare costs for the middle

work. warren has been criticized for side-stepping questions about whether or not her plan would raise taxes on the middle class. let's bring in brad polumbo of the wash a ton examiner. -- washington examiner. good morning, brad. elizabeth warren said my view on this is costs will go down for hard working middles class families. she's saying costs will go down but she's not saying if taxes will go up for middle class families. how realistic is this to do without raising taxes? >> well, it's fundamentally dishonest, that's what it is. elizabeth warren we've been told is the candidate with the plan for everything, right? but she's proposing this dramatic, radical government takeover of healthcare that would throw hundreds of millions of people off of their private health insurance and it would undoubtedly almost double federal taxes. so for her to pretend as if there's any question that middle taxes would go up, middle class taxes would go up, it's just dishonest, plain and simple.

bernie sanders to his credit is a socialist just like warren but he's willing to admit that taxes will go up and you'll get government healthcare. that's the tradeoff. elizabeth warren needs to be honest about it. tracee: a new study says federal spending on healthcare would increase by about $34 trillion under a single payer plan, similar to medicare for all. the cost is going to be astronomical. you how can warren soften this a little bit? >> well, it will be astronomical. that's what happens when you're nationalizing an entire private industry and taking it over by the government. i think her plan to soften is looks like deny, deny, deny. we don't have to talk about the looming elephant in the room and the problems, then maybe they aren't there. actually, amy klobuchar said it well when she said if she had a good answer for this question, we would have heard it by now. tracee: i want to switch gears, let's talk about joe biden and his fund raising. when you compare his war chest to the war chest of the other

candidates, significantly lower. he brought in $8.9 million for the last quarter that ended september 30th. you compare that with a sanderst $33.7 million. how big of a disadvantage is this going to be for his campaign, especially further down the road? >> look, i actually think it's going to be a big disadvantage. it's not just elizabeth warren and bernie sanders who have out-fund raised him, it's also lower name candidates like kamala harris and pete buttigieg. joe biden is searly behind the game when it comes to fund raising. that's going to be a problem. the l campaign has looked sluggish and slow. he'll have less money for cash in key states and fewer funds to fund advertisements. so it's not a good sign for the former vice president. tracee: brad, thank you very much. cheryl: let's stay with politics. 2020 presidential candidate tulsi gabbard slammed her party's 2016 nominee, hillary clinton. she went after clinton after she suggested that gabbard is

basically a russian agent. >> if you stand up against hillary and the party power brokers, if you stand up to the rich and powerful elite and the war machine, they will destroy you and discredit your message. but heres is the truth. they will not intimidate us. they will not silence us. cheryl: gabbard called clinton's claim a smear and a reretaliation for endorsing senator bernie sanders in 2016. some on social media are backing tulsi gabbard over the weekend. speaking of bernie sanders, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez and the democratic presidential candidate held a campaign rally over the weekend. but take a look at where they held it. near the site of where amazon had proposed to build a second headquarters right here in new york city. amazon you may remember in a surprise move pulled out of that deal, siting political and neighborhood opposition. aoc of course a big part of

tracee: the first federal opioid trial begins today in ohio. two counties are taking on six powerful drug companies in their fight against the opioid crisis that killed more than 400,000 people. aishah hasnie joins us live with more. >>.good morning. >> reporter: this first trial is happening in cleveland and it's sort of a bellwether trial for all the others to follow. the two ohio counties are suing multiple drug makers, including the country's big three drug distributors. this trial, particularly, will focus on distribution, were the companies obligated to halt shipment of suspicious orders and if so, did they comply. this is just a small piece of as

massive trial involving 2600 lawsuits, cities and counties across the u.s. suing doctors, pharmacies and big pharma, blaming them for the opioid epidemic that killed as many as 400,000 americans. families and communities want these companies to pay up for what they've had to spend so far on drug treatment and fighting drug related crime. one mom who lost her son to an opioid overdose describes how you she felt when johnson & johnson was ordered to pay $572 million back in august. >> nothing's going to bring my son back but this victory allows his death to stand for something and yo i know he's cheering rigt now. >> reporter: so many families looking for justice. there was a last minute $48 billion offer to settle this over the weekend but the cities and counties that are suing,

they refused that and the reason isn't the amount of money, it's that they want control of how the cash will be distributed. cheryl: and you i know the defense had an issue with that as well. thank you very much for that live report. for more on this, brett's bring in david bruno -- let's bring in david bruno. what will they try to prove in court against the companies. >> there's a federal law and regulation, that required the distributors to come up with a process to identify misuse. cheryl: bulk orders, for example. >> exactly. they should have had a process in place to identify that there were too much drugs coming into these two specific counties. that's important too. this is only two counties. cheryl: it's tough to prove but i'm not the attorney. >> it's sheer volume. it's the sheer volume of it. yeah, and the distributors, they're going to say we're the middleman. we didn't manufacture this. we didn't prescribe it.

and the dea was involved as well. the doj, horowitz inspector general, he recently came out and pointed fingers at the dea to say that they didn't do enough, that they had quotas to actually -- cheryl: is it the government's responsibility, though, to police -- a doctor writes a patient a prescription, whether they think they need it or not. i'm assuming they would, right? personal choice. personal responsibility. >> sure. cheryl: i'm thinking as the company's defense. >> that is another layer. that's another layer, personal choice. you have doctors involved. you have the government involved. you have personal choices of the people that actually use the drugs and parents like we saw here. cheryl: it's horrible. i don't want to sound insensitive. it's horrible what happened with the opioid deaths. statement, can you really fault the companies and -- maybe the doctors, sure. >> we're going to find out in this trial. if it goes and doesn't settle --

it could still settle. that is the issue with the distributors, did they do what they needed to do as far as the federal law. cheryl: i want to ask about the impeachment inquiry. i want you to listen to what mick mulvaney and chris wallace discussed on fox news sunday, get your reaction. >> aid to ukraine depended on investigating the democrats, why did you say that. >> here's what i said. there were two reasons we held up the aide. the first was the ram. >>rampantcorruption in the ukra. the president was concerned about whether other nations were helping with foreign aide t aide ukraine as well. cheryl: he was defending comments he made last week. do you think mulvaney put the president in more legal jeopardy. >> any time he opens his mouth right now is putting the president in more legal jeopardy. they need to be quiet. criminal defense rule number one, be quiet and must also apply to impeachment here as well because they cannot get out of their own way on this issue.

button it up. cheryl: the more they say, the worse it could be. >> it continues on. it's giuliani back with stormy daniels and now this. it just does not stop. be quiet. cheryl: david bruno, thank you for that pe perspective. tracee: there are mores questions than answers when it comes to brexit after boris johnson's deal with the eu hits a major snag. could a no deal brexit still happen at the end of the month? plus, a new study may explain why cookie monster and most americans are crazy for chocolate chip cookies. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ but i know the reason why you keep your silence. ♪ to follow your passions rather than worry about how to pay for long-term care. brighthouse smartcare℠ is a hybrid life insurance and
