53% oppose impeaching trump while 43% support impeachment and removal. that's front and center as the president heads to the state where he narrowly won in 2016. he's talking about jobs and energy. biden is already there, held a fundraiser last night and he's hammering vice president pence. here's what he told politico, i know pennsylvania and they will not be fooled by pence's blind promotion of donald trump's irresponsible trade wars. pence is shooting back. >> when joe biden was vice president, pennsylvania lost 50,000 manufacturing jobs. and overall under the obama administration, this country lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs. so if joe biden wants to defend nafta, if joe biden thinks we shouldn't be getting tough with our trading partners and demanding free and fair trade, we'll have that debate every day. >> reporter: as key witnesss in the impeachment inquiry continue to appear behind closed doors,

cheryl: it is all about dow component boeing today, they're in the spot light before the bell. lion air crash investigators say the design and mechanical flaws in the company's 73 737 max held cause the deadly crash in indonesia nearly a year ago. the head of boeing's commercial airplane division has just been

fired. there's a lot to talk about. let's bring in gus gako and kyle bailey, a former faa safety team representative. lots of questions for both of you guys. good morning. let's talk about the lion air report that came out, they cited multiple problems with the max and they really put the blame squarely on boeing, gus. is that bad. >> there's a lot of things up in the air. they have a goodwill problem. and right now, them and -- they're maxed out, bad term, but they're maxed out with production. goodwill wise, they have to pull back. cheryl: you've got to wonder if they should just scrap the max name entirely. but they pointed to the m-cast system. there have been so many questions about the system. it relies on a single sensor. indonesian authorities said that was the wrong decision and that the design of the plane was off. again, another reason to maybe get rid of that max completely. >> that is correct. initially one sensor was feeding into that system and now there is two sensors that will be

feeding into that. that should; correct that part of this the shy with the -- thee with the m-cast system. there have been other changes, such as the number of times the nose will be resulted as a result of the system kicking. cheryl: you think the max should come back. >> i think it should come back but it needs to be rebranded because of the explosion in the media from the two unfortunate crashes. cheryl: it's interesting, we've been watching the stock all year. this has been going on since march. the stock is up 4% year-to-date. so it's still kind of trending higher. but today could really be make or break for had that company. well, the stock, excuse me. >> there's a number of things that need to happen. you have to gain trust with the faa. you've been working with them for a number of months. they moved forward, seemed as if they would get production moving again and they would be able to certify the plane. that is on hold. you'll have the ceo in front of

congress next week. that's going to cause a lot of concerns. it's an election season. these are things that are going to probably have him on a hot seat for a long period of time. cheryl: he was the chairman, now he's only the ceo. there are some that say in the investment community that he should be removed completely, we should add. >> the person coming in, calhoon, is a pragmatic guy. it's either let's move forward and get rid of the problems and get this fixed. cheryl: you can't just blame boeing. the faa is getting criticized. there's congressional questions about the certification process of the max. i think that's kind of starting to get corrected. but that scrutiny is going to once again come against the agency next week. >> the key is the self certification process, really both parties came under fire for that and the faa took the brunt of the blame for allowing boeing to self certify. but it's worked fine in the past, i have to say. so i mean, but in aviation unfortunately you do learn from your mistakes. but i mean, in the of past it has worked pretty well before

these incidents. cheryl: again, pretty well doesn't mean when you've got nearly 400 people dead, the human l toll of all of this, lawsuits, they're going to have to give a status update on how they're going to handle the lawsuits and toes are continuing to pile up -- and those are continuing to pile up against the company. do you worry about that from a financial perspective. >> going in front of congress, you're going to find out what happened and when it happened. it could be a criminal investigation down the road depend pending what the answers are and what other information comes out. cheryl: it's interesting how everyone will be listening to this call more than any other earnings call in the entire reporting season right now because of the human component in all of this and the worries about that. it's going to be fascinating. >> the numbers are going to be secondary to what he has to say about what's down the pipeline and that sort of thing. cheryl: they've got the south carolina plant, they've got a military vehicle that is coming under pressure and also the 737-ng, there's cracks in that. there's so much. we're out of time. i wish we could keep talking

about it. gus and kyle, thank you very much. >> thank you for having us. lauren: exxon mobil accused of misleadinleading investors over climate change. they faced off against prosecutors in a new york courtroom. jackie dan deangeles has detail. >> reporter: he opening arguments from both sides, kevin wallace for the prosecution opening by saying that potential investors were worried about the risk of climate change when it came to exxon mobil and that exxon had different projections in terms of how it was assessing these risks. one set that it used internally and one set that it was using to show investors that these assets looked less risky. if that was the case, it would be a violation of the martin act, that's the state anti-fraud statute. now, ted wells, a partner for paul weiss, he gave the opening remarks for the defense and part of his argument was that the cash flow projections we're talking about here were future,

unfunded projects, that they actually don't have any impact on the current bottom line. of course, there are a lot of questions that are going to be answered over the course of what's expected to be a three-week long trial and all eyes will be on this courthouse next week when rex tillerson, the former ceo of exxon mobil, is expected to testify as well and answer to his knowledge or involvement in these particular situations. of course, rex tillerson was also former secretary of state. cheryl and lauren. llauren: still ahead, mark zuckerberg headed back to capitol hill today to face a grilling again from lawmaker as the company pledges $1 billion to a problem some say it helped to create. and more charges coming down in the college admissions scandal. is actress lori loughlin now ready to make a deal? keep it here on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ what kind of world do you

lauren: facebook ceo mark zuckerberg back in the hot seat today, testifying on capitol hill over his plan to launch facebook's new cryptocurrency, libra. lou basineste is here. through all of this, lou, i'm wondering -- you know, facebook is one of 28 members of the libra association. is he the right person for lawmakers to drill today over this issue? >> i think he's the wrong person and the wrong company that should be leading this, but they did try -- i would say that facebook made a money grab. they tried to leave this, introduce this cryptocurrency for nothing more than more profits.

however, i'll give zuckerberg credit. this one time. just this once. he is facing the fire. he usually sends his lieutenants to go testify in front of congress. so i read the prepared remarks. i think he's really got a weak just ajustification for lettingm do this. he said if we don't do it, the chinese will do you it first. it doesn't make sense. but the big thing is, the real basis for this, he thinks that the world needs libra because it's the way for the unbanked to get online and to have access to financial services and tha the a doesn't back it up. lauren: is this doa, dead on arrival? >> i think it is. if you remember a couple months ago we were talking about this was imminent, they released a white paper, it was happening and then we had elected officials saying put the brakes on here. in the prepared remarks,

zuckerberg is saying we're not going to do anything until we get u.s. regulators' approval. i don't think it gets out of the gate. lauren: he's playing nice, he's showing up, like you said, instead of sending a lieutenant. facebook is also spending a record amount on lobbying this year. you could call it noise, especially if you're an investors. at what point does a justice department investigation, 47 states attorney generals investigating you, a ftc investigation, at what point does it stop becoming noise? >> i think once there's some type of regulation. we've let facebook self-regulate for long enough. now we have to put parameters in there. i think that's relevant for the platform for users and investors. until we see definitive regulations, the stock has been unhe deterred based upon -- undeterred based upon the rumors and the testimonies. investors are turning a blind eye to it. lauren: tesla reports today.

i say two numbers are, one, cash flow and cars delivered. what do you say. >> i agree, 100%. what you'll see is the majority of the cars are low margin model 3s. that means the cash flow is going to be weak. they've got a huge debt payment coming up in november. this circus will continue. i'm going to go on the record and say this could be the next wework that falls apart in terms of valuation. lauren: i will agree with one thing. it is a circus and we're in it every day. lou, thanks for playing today. >> thank you. cheryl: facebook is sharing the wealth, sort of. they're investing a billion dollars to tackle the affordable housing crisis in california. the company will build 20,000 housing units across the state over the next 10 years. looks like it's needed. experts say the bay area in particular and the economy has only created one home for 10 new jobs over the past decade. that causes housing prices to skyrocket, less supply and a lot

more demand from higher paid folks. facebook has been blamed for helping korea ate the housing -- creating the housing crisis by bringing in the high paid tech worworkers. this is the worst housing crisis in the country there. coming up next, it is a battle in the battleground state today. both president trump and joe biden are in pennsylvania. will blue collar joe's fight against the trump economy be enough to sway the swing state? and millennials are obsessed with checking their scores from their uber ratings to their number of instagram likes, obviously. but the top number that they say they are most obsessed with, it's going to really surprise you. it surprised us. we'll share it with you coming up on "fbn: a.m.." we're invested in you. ♪ who runs the world. ♪ girls. ♪ who runs the world. ♪ girl. ♪ who runs the world want to fols rather than worry about how to pay for long-term care.

cheryl: president trump is headed to the keystone state today, eggs gointohe he's goings and energy in pittsburgh as joe biden is trying to sway voters in scranton. pennsylvania is an important battleground state which trump narrowly won in 2016. let's bring in kaley from the washington examiner. one of the things joe biden is going to talk about is his economic policy and his economic background when he was vice president. is that going to really -- how will that play out in pennsylvania? >> biden is one of the only democratic candidates that we don't have a full economic plan for yet. we do know a few things. we know he will go after trump's tax cuts and we know he will attack trump on the premise that trump is just enriching himself and the wealthy and the coring'ses, at -- corporations at the expense of middle and lowers classes. he will appeal to the blue collar workers in pennsylvania and try to appeal to that way.

cheryl: it will be interesting. when you look at manufacturing job losss in the state of pennsylvania, the numbers may be a problem president trump. the biggest percentage declines in states where trump won by less than 5 percentage points, trump had a lo loss of 81,000 j. he has to get the working class and the suburban voter in the state. >> this could be where trump's economic policies hurt him in swing states like pennsylvania. he tends to blame unfair trade deals for job loss and job outsourcing. if you look at the numbers, seems like automation is doing more harm to mining workers and other automotive industries in states like that. cheryl: it's interesting too, the president -- we'll see what happens if he goes off script or stays on script but the impeachment inquiry he's been very vocal about that. the editorial board of the wall street journal said his use of the word lynching yesterday kind of shows he's putting other

republicans on the spot, defending what some say could be an indefenseable word, to use that term, lynching. joe biden used that same word during the clinton impeachment hearings, is this noise or is this resonating with potential voters. >> among the blue collar workers that biden and trump will be speaking to, i think this is just all noise in the beltway echo chamber. what they care about is they're coming home to more cash on the table because of the tax cuts, they have more job security and those are the things that matter. cheryl: that's the trump economy. i agree with you there. l elizabeth warren among college democrats has now actually taken the heed ahead of -- we're surprised by this -- bernie sanders. what do you make of that? s is that about sanders' health issues? is it because she's resonating more these days. >> sanders' health issues could play a part in this. it's remarkable. if you think about it, the younger voters, especially the

educated college students, were the first ones to get on-board with bernie and the kind of radical change that he's proposing. now they're moving over to warren, and her plan for everything agenda, it really is quite telling about where this election might drift to. cheryl: again, today is going to be pretty interesting. we'll have biden in pennsylvania, we'll have trull in pennsylvania, -- have trump in pennsylvania, we'll be watching all of that. our viewers need to stay tuned. who know what the president will say and we'll be interested to see what mr. biden has to say as well. thank you for being here. >> thank you. lauren: actress lori loughlin an 10 other parents are facing new charges in the massive college admissions scandal. prosecutors add ag adding a briy charge for those who pleaded not gil in the case -- guilty in the case. a new report says loughlin may end up taking a plea rather than risk going to trial. felicity huffman was given 14 day behind bars after she

prime minister boris johnson's brexit plan but blocked the timetable. michael, can i say we might finally perhaps be coming to an end of this brexit drama? >> oh, most definitely maybe, perhaps. [ laughter ] >> that is definitely what is feels like. we do appear to have made some progress, i think. but the problem is the mps wanted more time to scrutinize the detail and that's where i think the process fell down. it feels almost like a relay race and we got to the firsthandover. un-- first hand over. unfortunately, the baton was dropped and we have to start again. where do we go to next? ultimately the next stage is in the hands of the european union. they have to agree to terms of the next extension, is it going to be a short extension, is it going to be a longer extension.

if it's a long reer tension, dos the u.k. government bend the bill and push for an election. will labor be minded to grant an election and so on and so forth. so i think much depends on when the extension or how long the extension is. will the prime minister try and negotiate with mps to push the bill through in the remaining time allotted of two or three weeks and if not, will he call an election. lauren: it's a marathon. the ftse 100 -- >> it's always been a marathon. lauren: it's higher by half of 1%. is it safe to say as we wrap this up take that no deal has been averted or not yet? >> no deal has been averted in the short term. and that's why the pound has come off a little bit because the uncertainty now continues potentially to january next year. and that's essentially where we are. lauren: all right.
