mr. muilenburg, how in the hell did nobody bring this to your attention in february when you produced this to the department of justice, how did did you just read this a couple of weeks ago. you're the ceo, the buck stops with you. cheryl: that was senator ted cruz during yesterday's hearing on capitol hill whether dennis muilenburg was on hand to answer for the company. despite all of the controversy, boeing stock has been relatively unphased by the turmoil but definitely volatile. it's trading right now at the same price as last year when the first crash occurred. we bring in a marketing expert and a senior analyst.

guys, good morning. jeff, to you first on the future of the ceo, dennis muilenburg. he's been accused an a lot of critics said yesterday he danced around, he tapped around the questions and he really didn't come out and frankly just -- he wasn't more emotional in his apology to the families, many of them sitting right there. >> yeah, it's one of those things where it's as much optics as it is anything else and with boeing, they have litigation to think about and at this point i think this is probably the best that we're probably going to see out of boeing's executive corps regarding an apology and admittance to own this. could they go further? yes. but i don't think we're going to see anything more than what he's been saying here in front of the senate and today, the house. cheryl: maybe, aaron, he's trying to protect himself and his job although he's already lost the chairman title. from a branding perspective,

what did you make of his performance and effect on the name boeing, the company, boeing. >> i think boeing has really dug itself into a hole here in terms of consumer perception. they really have not made a sincere apology as jeff was mentioning. i don't think we're going to get much more out of him. what we're reas lysing is how the -- realizing is how the back end really works and how they're allowed to self regulate. the faa was not going through with the checks and balances system. because of this, the consumer will become increasingly skeptical of all airlines. cheryl: well, blumenthal, senator blumenthal called it a flying coffin which is pretty harsh. that's the next question here, jeff, is the company has so much negative publicity, and the you future of dennis muilenburg is probably -- they asked him will he still have a job and he said he's not part of that conversation.

what can the company do to restore investor and consumer confidence to erin's point? >> you mentioned the stock was up yesterday. i think that just is reflective of so much of the bad news is out and we're not far now from the point where they'll begin to bring these aircraft back into the airline fleets. i just don't think there's much else out there that -- in terms of headline risk, that can be said that hasn't already been put out there to begin with. so at this point, i think we're seeing boeing investors and wall street in general looking towards those better headlines. so in terms of getting -- boeing getting this behind them, the best thing they can do is get this plane back into the air with all the appropriate checks and balances which is something that they've been working on since the grounding in march. cheryl: it's funny because you i talked to an aviation expert yesterday afternoon on fox business who said they can't go back and they can't not -- can't

discontinue the max. it's the latest iteration of the 737 and it's here to say so they've got to fix it. senator blumenthal brought the victims' families there and they were holding up huge posters in the room of the loved ones they lost. we heard earlier in our show an emotional statement from a gentleman who said basically he heard nothing that made him feel any confidence, he didn't feel he was being apologized to for the loss of his sister. is there anything we can take away from yesterday and do you think that blumenthal went too far in bringing the families into the room? >> i think that the families should have absolutely been in the room. but they should have been treated a bit differently. it would have been nice if he turned around and spoken to them eye to eye, rather than just speaking to the committee. it's obviously a very sensitive issue. it was more of a corporate dog and pony show. cheryl: interesting. well, the emotional effect was certainly -- i mean, it happened

on our televisions live for everyone to see. we'll see how today goes. he'll be back on the hill. thank you very much for being here. >> thank you. cheryl: hillary: lauren: coming up, days before apple launches its streaming service, hbo revealing the details of its new hbo max. with all the new competition, did hbo get the price right? apple will give clues on the all-important holiday quarter. does that mean more iphones under the christmas tree? keep it here on "fbn: a.m." ♪ welcome to the hotel california. ♪ such a lovely place. ♪ such a lovely place our 18 year old was in an accident. usaa took care of her car rental, and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. if i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, i would tell them, you need to join usaa because they have better rates,

competition apple needs growth somewhere else. we'll get an idea of when and where that is when apple reports after the bell today. lou basenese is here. apple's stock hit record highs earlier this week. revenue is expected to be flat as a pancake. where is the growth coming from? >> it's going to be services. last quarter was the first time the iphone accounted for less than 60% of revenue. services is right around that 20% mark. apa pell's rolling out their streaming service, their gaming service, services is where the growth is going to come from in the future. this quarter really doesn't matter what they say, honestly. it's really about the guidance for the holiday season. lauren: exactly. are iphone 11s going to be under the christmas tree. the streaming service is out on friday and hbo saying their streaming service is coming out in 2020, it's going to be $14.99 a month, it's called hbo max. i think $14.99 is expensive p. we're discussing this today with

our team and everybody else says it's free if you have hbo. what are your thoughts on the pricing? >> i think the pricing is in line with netflix and what's available. i think the key question for all the streaming services, the market is getting flooded, is how many services are consumer pay for. the latest research is most will pay for up to three. at what point do we go to a world where we wish they were bundled together again. whave we reached the point come may when hbo max launches. i don't know. time will tell. lauren: it seems awfully saturated right now. makes a lot of people wonder, well, i should just keep traditional cable. will that ever happen? >> look, i think the pendulum always swings too far in one direction. i think we're moving in that direction. we're unbundling it too much and at some point whatever that price point's going to be, consumers are going to revolt and say it doesn't make sense, too many passwords, too many services. lauren: you're telling me.

we have to talk about facebook, a major report coming after the closing bell today. i think my biggest question for facebook is all this bad news, all this regulatory scrutiny, will the advertisers continue to spend money on facebook where that ad revenue can overcome all the bad news? >> absolutely. where else are they going to go? they don't have any other option. so that's the irony here, is that privacy be damned, it's all about the profits for facebook and the advertisers and they don't have another audience that they can reach that's over 2 billion use earns. -- users. look, i think it's amazing. the stocks is up 43% year-to-date despite just the most distractions they've had on the regulatory front, the most scrutiny ever in the company's history and it's completely undeterred from investors buying the stock. lauren: growth is up a little bit here in the premarket. yet you have the ftc and 47 state attorneys general looking into your company.

amazing. lou, thank you. cheryl: we've got a lot more coming up this morning. adam schiff accused of blocking questions from gop members during impeachment hearings. we're live in washington where temperatures are boiling over. and paid to play, a landmark decision from the ncaa allowing student athletes to cash in. but should they be taxed? the firestorm ignited as law makesers vow action. you're watching "fbn: a.m.." we're invested in you. ♪ i'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe. ♪ great riches will find you when liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. wow. thanks, zoltar. how can i ever repay you? maybe you could free zoltar?

griff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lauren. house republicans are furious and hammering yesterday's testimony, accusing adam schiff of shutting down the questions and conducting unfair hearings behind closed doors. >> we tried to ask the witness certain questions and adam schiff wouldn't let him answer. >> he's running a one sided soviet style process that we've never seen before. >> reporter: that's not slowing down democrats pressing forward. >> this is about the united states constitution. this is about the rule of law. this is about national security. this is about abuse of power. this is about i the fact that te president betrayed his oath of office and the american people. >> reporter: this as the democrats put forth the text of a resolution laying out the next steps in the process in the impeachment inr choirly which in-- inquiry which includes public hearings. the white house is saying it does little to provide basic due

process he's,ish shying a statement, the resolution put forward by speaker pelosi confirms that the house democrats' impeachment a has been a sham from the start as it lacked proper authorization by a house development it' vote. tomorrows' vote is not a vote on whether or not to impeach the president but rather it's a vote to advance the process of the inquiry to the next phase. it's expected to pass. watch where the democrats who are in trump districts end up. cheryl: griff jenkins, thank you so much. the u.s. economy has rallied under president trump with the unemployment rate at a 50-year low, the stock market has been setting records, just got a new s&p record this week, by the way. but democratic presidential candidate joe biden sees things differently. >> donald trump inherited a strong economy from barack and he me. things were beginning to really move. and just like everything else's

inherited, he's in the midst of squandering it. cheryl: we're going to get a test of the trump economy today with the release of third quarter gross domestic product, gdp and of course the federal reserve's decision on interest rates, it is a big day. james russo, chief investment strategist is here. really i think the fed decision's going to be something else today. we're expecting a quarter point. incredible. >> we definitely need a quarter point from the fed and it was interesting here, biden's comments about the economy that trump inherited, certainly we've had 2% gdp that's been te tepid over the past decade. the shot in the arm we got from the tax reform was wonderful. tariffs have been a damenning on they need to correct things with

another quarter point. cheryl: you're looking for a quarter point from the fed. the gdp estimate is 1.6%. we've got 2% in the second quarter. so it's not 3%. the trade war, maybe, you think? >> it is. it's really hurting consumer confidence and more importantly business confidence. you're not getting that business spending. businesses are sitting on their hands, really deciding what the to do. i don't think we're going to see anything really positive l coming out of the trade and tariff war any time soon. i think you're going to he see trump eventually is going to have to he declare a truce on this as we head into the political environment. he wants to get reelected obviously so with a truce, at least we'll be in a better position for the economy to stabilize. cheryl: we're going to be getting the jobs report coming out, the monthly jobs report. and with unemployment at a 50-year low, companies are now right now in the season of hiring for the holidays. and we're seeing companies announce they're going to be adding 10, 20, 5 o 50 you 50,00.

they're going to have a hard time filling those jobs. >> they are. the consumer's been resilient. i think you're going to see a wonderful christmas. i think the job hiring will be there. the earnings season has been positive for most companies. cheryl: let's talk about the comments -- you know, wall street more and more, we've been getting more and more commentary from hedge funds, from billionaires, ceos, the banks, that are talking about the 2020 election and they're worried the stock market could take a big hit, especially if elizabeth warren or bernie sanders were to take over the white house. in particular, steve cohen, $15 billion hedge fund he's managing, he said gdp would hit 1% if it's elizabeth warren and s&p would lose 25% of its value if elizabeth warren was elected. >> we heard a lot of the same when trump was elected too. america's been so resilient in both conservative and more liberal presidencies. so businesses are incredibly resilient in their ability to

earn money, both in positive regulatory environments and those that are more challenging. i think if you have an elizabeth warren election, you'll likely have continued gridlock and a lot of things that she'll want to get through really won't happen. they'll move -- businesses will move to where the ball is, to have they need to continue to be profibeprofitable. cheryl: you're not as worried as he is. james, thank you very much. appreciate you being here this morning. i want to remind all of you that fox business has got you covered today with all the big stories, the release of the gdp report, maria's going to have that, the fed decision on interest rates, charles b payne will cover that and apple's earnings coming up after the bell. lauren: what do futures do in the meantime. wait and see, kind of flat,down 17, nasdaq down 2 this morning. is that what investors need to see to turn up the heat and push
