"fbn: a.m." starts right now. ♪ ♪ i want to be your friday night street ride. .♪ barefoot in the moon light. ♪ wide open road. cheryl: great shot of new york city. it's going to get cold tomorrow. lauren: oh, boy. hi. [ laughter ] cheryl: telling you to bundle up. welcome to "fbn: a.m.." and good morning, i'm cheryl casone. lauren: i brought some heat. i'm lauren simonetti. heat from the markets this morning. cheryl: we're going to need it. let's take a look at how your money is moving on this friday. we have got green arrows across the board, trade optimism once again. it's the story of the morning. dow is up 91, s&p up 10, nasdaq higher as well. lauren: hang seng is up just fractionally. bad news out of hong kong,

recession, first time in more than 10 years and with the protests and the trade war it could be even worse. cheryl: taking a look at europe peek markets, we have green across the board. that is the trade optimism story. every market there is in the green. lauren: big rally last night, president trump rallying support for republican eddie risponi ahead of the governor's race in the state of louisiana. >> i'm thrilled to be back in the beautiful bayou state with thousands of hard working american citizens who believe in god, family and country. to send a message to the corrupt democrats in washington, you've got to vote on saturday. cheryl: the president not missing a chance to tout the strong economy p. more from todd piro outside of cafe usa in bosier city. >> reporter: good morning. the stated goal of the rally was to stump for eddie risponi. the president when he has a crowd and a camera, he a takes

the opportunity to tout the economy. >> first it was the russia hoax, then it was the mueller witch hunt. the absolutely crazed lunatics, the democrats, radical left, are pushing the deranged impeachment witch hunt. we did nothing wrong and they're doing nothing. >> reporter: that line of the night a clear dig at congress and the failure of the democrat controlled house to pass significant legislation while focusing on impeachment. one congressman feeling the wrath, adam schiff. >> adam shifty schiff, he went up and he made up my statement. it was r horrible what he said. he's a thief. he's a crook. he's a corrupt politician and frankly he should be prosecuted. >> reporter: president trump did get to risponi hope to flip the louisiana governor's seat red in what polls say is a neck in neck race with john bell edwards. >> you have a chance to elect a true louisiana ca champion, he'd

risponi. he's pro family, pro life, pro second amendment and 100% pro american. >> reporter: election day here in louisiana is on saturday. lauren and cheryl, back to you. cheryl: todd, thank you very much. lauren: amazon is announcing that it will challenge $10 billion pentagon contract awarded to microsoft and it gets awfully political. cheryl: it's all about the jedi. joining us now is brett larson. does amazon have a chance here in court to challenge the pentagon decision? >> i don't think so. i don't think so. this has been a long time coming. the jedi contract is pentagon wants to build this new cloud and amazon was miffed they didn't get the deal. amazon worked with the pentagon on other web services. the contract went the to microsoft and they're fuming. it's notably reasonable why they're fuming.

the president does not like jeff bezos and refers to him frequently, amazon as well as jeff bezos who owns the washington post. i don't know if that holds up in court, someone not liking you does not tend to hold up as an argument in court. ibm and oracle were early contenders early on in the bidding process. they were also nixed in the deal and the whol thing whole thing o microsoft. this is the statement from amazon, numerous aspects of the valuation process contain clear deficiencies, errors and bias and it's important the matters be examined and rectified. this is a 10 year, $10 billion agreement. next year the pentagon could say you know what, we do need a little help from amazon. ibm, we might want to use some of your watson technology. this is definitely something that could change over the decade. cheryl: it could be $10 billion depending how much the cloud services are rearranged under the military, they've got 600

different clouds right now. let's talk about google. attorneys generalses are expanding anti-trust investigations into google. they want to look at the ad business as well as search. >> google has been under the microscope a lot lately, it reminds me of microsoft in the late '90s, when everybody was saying microsoft is too big. the states are saying google is too big, they control too much. at concern is the android operating system, it's on a lot of smartphones. the concern is the bundled apps and the search that's built into the android phone. by default, it's going to be google search. that has concern because if you're bing or you have another product that you want to get in there, it requires that the consumer get the device and actively participate in using your app. it gives google the upper hand. the european union has fined

google for this. lauren: interesting that google stock is up right now,. >> oh, yeah. lauren: search is the heart of their operation. >> that's where they make all their money. lauren: regulators are coming down for everything that google does. pivot to apple, another big tech company we like to talk about. there's talk it might bundle its music, news, tv together, to get more subscribers. how does this affect the profits? >> this is an interesting story. everybody's got a streaming service now. disney has the bundle with hulu andest spn. apple is saying we're going to bundle news, music and apple tv plus. the concern on the content side is the product that goes onto the news plus service, they only get -- the publishers get half that revenue. the concern is, if take tha thae goes down, if you make less off the customers, that means we get less. that's where the concern falls. it could be a boone for consumers. if you could say for $15 a month

you get these three products, that's good for the -- that's good for the consumer, not so much good for the content creator. we'll see how this plays out. lauren: you hit all three stocks we're watching today, apple, amazon and google. >> all at all-l tim-time highs. lauren: you're the best. cheryl: apple reportedly have hired a pro-trump lobbyist to help in the ongoing battle to avoid tariffs from china. reports say it was jeffrey miller that they hired. he became a top fundraiser for the president's re-election campaign. lauren: china in the news again, wall street waiting on phase one of a u.s.-china trade deal. larry kudlow says the first phase is almost done but president trump is not ready to sign ofte off on it just yet. he added there has been very good progress, talks have been

constructive. deputy level negotiations took place yesterday. but reportedly the talks have hit a snag over how much china will spend on u.s. agriculture. president trump was due to leave for chile today to sign the first phase of a trade deal with the chinese president xi-jinping, but that planned summit in chile was canceled because of protests. cheryl: another win for america's farmers. the trump administration says brazil agreed to import 750,000 metric tons of u.s. wheat, duty-free. additional imports of u.s. wheat would face tariffs but midwest states have been hit hard by the u.s. trade war with china so that's good news for america's farmers. lauren: another trade story is the usmca trade deal, will it ever get done? a vote may not be far off but major questions can do remain including does this get support from democrats. cheryl: blake berman is at the white house with more. blake, good morning. >> reporter: on both ends of pennsylvania avenue, there is

starting to become the sense that getting the usmca vote onto the floor of the house could be happening soon. nancy pelosi for example saying on thursday, quote, i'd like to see us get it done this year. she also talked up how the trade deal between the u.s., canada and mexico is constructive. >> we are moving positively in terms of the u.s., mexico, canada agreement. again, it all comes down to enhancements -- excuse me, enforcement, enhancement too, but enforcement. i do believe that if we can get this to the place it needs to be, which is imminent, that this can be a template for future trade agreements. >> reporter: an administration source familiar with the ongoing talks tells me their sense is that, quote, things are happening. the top republican on the house ways and means committee saying he believes the house could take up and pass the deal before the end of the year. >> i think the discussions between house democrats and the

white house have been very productive. look, this is a dream deal for labor democrats. it has provisions they never achieved before. >> reporter: the outstanding yesquestions remain, will this e brought to the floor of the house and a when and are democrats willing to give president trump what would be his signature trade deal to date. back to you in new york. cheryl: thank you. a devastated community is gathering for a vigil, just hours after a deadly high school shooting that rocked the nation yesterday. lauren: tracee carrasco here with the details. good morning. tracee: a teenager is accused of killing two people and injuring three more on his birthday. this took place at saugus high school in santa clarita, california. the 16-year-old suspect shot himself in the head and is hospitalized in critical condition. a motive is unknown. ben sass is demanding answers on the death of billionaire jeffrey

epstein. he sent a warning letter to the bureau of prisons director who is set to testify before the senate judiciary committee next tuesday. the senator warning the director not to deflect difficult questions. epstein was found dead in his new york city cell while you a waiting trial on sex trafficking charges. an explosive end to thursday night football, the browns, steelers game erupted into a sideline-clearing brawl. >> beyond words, joe. >> oh, gosh, that's one of the worst things i've ever seen on a professional sports field. tracee: wow. browns defensive lineman miles r garrett ripping off the helmet of mason rudolph and hitting him in the head with it. mike pouncey retaliated, kicking garrett in the head. the browns won the game, 21-7. and that is what's happening now. cheryl: those announcers are

right. that was one of the most brutal things i've seen in an nfl game in probably the last decade. that is incredible. way off the charts. they need to be suspension. tracee, thank you very much. well, from football to something else. who says had that you can not show an old dog a few new tricks. retail wars are he heatin heatih one name making a comeback while giving a also one a run for its money. a growing trend is trying to change the gail of thanksgiving. how -- game of thanksgiving. how thanksgiving staples could get a meatless makeover. coming up on "fbn: a.m." ♪ can't you see we're getting money up under you. ♪ can't you see delivery drones, or the latest phones.

cheryl: an investigation into under armour's business practiceses found the company used accounting tricks to stay on a growth streak. wall street journal is reporting that in order to meet sales targets the company would move business from future quarters to hide the fact that sales were actually slowing down. that tactic helped the company extend a streak of 20% sales growth for 26 quarters. under armor says it's confident in its accounting practices. we will key you posted. lauren: the u.s. consumer has been driving the economy. did retail sales, which fell in

september, bounce back in october? pwc partner mitch rochell might have answers for us. miff, good morning. you're going shopping this weekend. are we worried about retail sales. >> not at all. amazon prime day was in july. so august and september were a little sluggish, maybe a retail hangover if you will. the consumer is the real story in the economy and i expect retail sales to be really, really strong. in fact, i think there's a little darling in there. the housing market has picked up a little bit. we may see home improvement sales which had been sluggish for the last year pick up a little bit. lauren: mortgage applications surged last week. this could continue in the months ahead. how are you guys feeling about the holidays? >> pretty strong. our forecast this year is up a little under 3%, 2.7%, the average american spending just under $1,300 for the holidays. so we're feeling pretty good about the holidays as well. lauren: apparently not spending it at jc penney. they report before the bell.

we are looking at same store sales, key metric to fall more than 8%. >> i think with retailers, it's either the haves and the have-notes. walmart's earnings were really strong. comp store sales were up 3.2%. really, really strong. they're the largest retailer, the largest grocer and they have figured out omni channel and those who haven't figured out omni chan he he'll wil channel . lauren: is walmart almost the largest online company as well? if you look at the e-commerce business, it was up 41% in the quarter. are they beating amazon now at their own game? >> i think that it's not a single channel choice. so if you want food and you want to pick it up or you want it delivered, you know you go to what's convenient. online shopping is all about convenience. if you figure out a way to deliver that value proposition to customers, it's a win. with walmart, they figured a lot

of that out. lauren: if you look at this year, walmart stock trouncing amazon's, up almost 30t 30%. the number of 401-k millionaires, folks that have at least a million dollars in their 401-ks, at a record high. people are not risk averse? they're still buying stocks and bonds? >> the stock and bond market are up. the enrollment is up. back in 2006, the pension protection plan was passed, and it allowed for you auto enrollment. the number of people who auto enrolled in 401-ks went from 50% to 80%. the fact that you were getting regular deposits, guided people to have the discipline to put the money away, companies matched and that's why we have 200,000 401-k millionaires. lauren: mitch rochell, thank you for joining us of.

is duvall patrick obama 2.0 or is he another version of mitt romney? we're going to debate that coming up. plus, could socialist darling alexandria ocasio-cortez be headed to the white house? details coming up on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ makes me that much stronger. ♪ makes me work a little bit harder. ♪ makes me that much wiser ♪ do you recall, not long ago ♪ we would walk on the sidewalk ♪ ♪ all around the wind blows

cheryl: duvall patrick has many challenge as a late comer to the presidential race, one of them is how does he explain his work at private equity firm, bank capital. >> there is a place for private equity in the private economy. there is a place for business in our lives. but it is also true that capitalism generally has a lot to answer for. thats is so. and we need to be able to confront that. that's exactly the work i've been doing. i've done that same work in other business settings before.

cheryl: let's bring in former white house deputy brad blakeman and democratic strategist, kevin chavits. let's start with you, kevin. some are saying he's obama 2.0, others are saying he's another version of mitt romney, with the drag on his name. how does he fit into the primary? >> well, it's interesting because it is so late in the game and because in a lot of ways he's going after sort of the base that thrown their support behind he joe biden. he he's looked at himself as the heir to the obama legacy. they're close friends. because it's late in the game, he'll have to find a way to raise money pretty quickly. he's going to have to with lightning speed get his name id up. while he was governor of massachusetts, joe biden was vice president of the united states. they that goes a long way with voters because they feel more familiar with joe biden who also

had an extensive career on capitol hill before becoming vice president. so i just think it's a little bit late in the game. you talk about his work with b a ane capital, that doesn't help either. it's going to be an uphill battle for sure. cheryl: do you think, brad, this could be something that joe biden could be worried about. so far, joe biden has been doing pretty good with southern black voters as far as the polls go. duvall patrick in two southern states is too late to register for the ticket. the black caucus even said he doesn't have name recognition, that's a bigger problem than the positive comparisons to president obama. >> the fact that more democrats are entering the race, like bloomberg and patrick, suggest they're not happy with the already broad field of candidates that are being put up for the primaries and caucuses. i have to say that patrick's going to be the bain of the democratic he party. how do you attack mitt romney as some evil corporate ogre and not

attack patrick for the same kind of work that they alleged romney was doing. that he's a greedy capitalist. i think he's got a lot to answer for. of course, democrats live a life of contradiction and exception and they'll give him a pass. certainly joe biden is not up to the job. other democrats know that. and i think we'll see iowa, new hampshire not be kind to joe biden and that's where others will be able to generate and pick up steam in fund raising and also broad support. cheryl: and kevin, also too, private equity we should say, sometimes kit be good, sometimes it can be bad. even elizabeth warren who has gone after the banks and the finance sector and private equity, these corporate raiders, if you will, he'll have to explain what bane capital did to toys r us for example. how does he do that? >> he manages something called a double i'm pact -- i'm pac impa.

he's going to say he's investing in companies that are making an impact on communities. but i think it is going to be tough. i disaa agree with brad, that he'll get a pass. this time with the way the activists on the democratic party have lurched everyone to the left, i think they're going to come at him with their knives sharpened, really on this. but he's going to have to -- he's going to have a tough job ahead of him, trying to make his work different from that of mitt romney. he's had a long career in business. he worked for three years i believe with the department of justice, but after that he's been in corporate america pretty much his whole career before becoming governor. so i don't know if the party's really ready for someone who spent their life, most of their life in corporate america. cheryl: yeah, in private equity. that's a very good point. brad, last word to you. i do want to ask about this. bernie sanders made an interesting comment that aoc would have a very, very, very prominent role in the white house if he was elected. he's dragging if the polls, we know that.

what do you make of that? is this his vp pick if he gets the ticket? >> sure, i think it's a desperate ploy to appeal to younger voters. the younger voters last time loved bernie. byrney got screwed by the hillary machine and he's desperately looking to recapture that. he can't do it himself. what better than to hitch his wagon to aoc. aoc is certainly not going to be a vp but i think she could be, god forbid, if bernie became president a cabinet member and god help the united states. cheryl: she's 30, he's in his 70. it's an interesting friendship. thank you for being here. lauren: i bet she doesn't say okay, boomer to him. cheryl: she probably doesn't. lauren: now to the fighting on the israel, gaza border, the cease fire holding for now, despite sporadic rocket attacks seen last night. cheryl: benjamin hall is live from is the rail, gaza border with the -- the israel, gaza

border with all of the latest. >> reporter: three times yesterday islamic jihad broke the cease fire. it wasn't until after the third time that israel responded. frankly it showed remarkable patience on their part but finally their hand was forced. israel always said they would stop firing when islamic jihad stopped firing. that's what we've seen happen. we haven't seen a rocket for about 14 hours. last night there was that final attack with more rockets which tipped israel's hand and they responded with air strikes, taking out two islamic jihad sites, one in the you south, headquarters, another a rocket making factory. earlier, benjamin net y netanyau spoke about them, saying the initial operation had been fully achieved. >> the enemy has got the message, we can reach anyone. i hope this lesson has been learned. >> reporter: the latest fighting has shed a light on internal divisionses within gaza.

whaha ha mass did not -- hamas d not want this to escalate. the jihad group acting jun unilaterally and a they broke the cease fire. it's significant that hamas did not join in the attacks and significant that israel didn't hit one hamas target. for once, their goals seem to align. there does seem to be peace at the home around here. people who live near the gaza strip are angry that israel didn't react harsher. they canceled school in protest over the cease fire. they say they want the israeli government to take this threat out and that's how they felt for some time. it's certainly how they will feel going forward. back to you. cheryl: benjamin hall live for us on the gaza, israel border. thank you. lauren: take a look at futures in the us. the market is on pace for six straight weeks of gain as we enter the final day of the week. dow is up 66, s&p up 6. we could see more records today. still ahead, we'll find out just how healthy the consumer is ahead of the holidayses and

and are parents or from what you're hearing, are we willing to spend a lot to get what we need for our kids and for the holidays or are you seeing a slowdown. when you look at the numbers, this is why i'm asking, the average consumer spends $10 on toys. $10. i can't tell you the last time i was able to spend as little as $10. how does that work out. >> with the varying price points, it works out just fine. this right here is less than 10s dollars. so kids want to pick out what they want and parents and guardians are looking to get the kids what they want. lauren: is there a toy that surprised you this year that you didn't think it would be popular, yet is actually a really hot toy. >> there are some adorable trends, unicorns are very big this year. lauren: still. and sequins. >> that's part of the picks thn here. kids love it. lauren: are there toys that get kids outside and doing physical
