5:12 am
5:13 am
lauren: china has agreed to slash tariffs on $75 billion of u.s. imports. our next guest says the move makes beijing look desperate as it tries to cope with the coronavirus outbreak. asia expert gordon chang is here now. good morning, thanks for joining us. >> thank you so much, lauren. lauren: you see this move as desperate, not by any stretch of goodwill gesture by china to perhaps start phase two of the negotiations with the trade deal? >> it is a sign of goodwill and that is good. you've got to remember that if china buys more u.s. goods it's not because the tariffs are lower, but it's because state enterprises have been ordered to do so. remember, this is a semicommand
5:14 am
economy, an economy which is in contraction. we know that because oil he demand is off 20% year on year. factories are going to close for an extended period and even the trade fair scheduled for april has been suspended. and that means that chinese leaders don't think there's going to be a substantial recovery until perhaps june or july. lauren: so this -- it's interesting because as you paint that pretty dire picture, we have he global markets, including those in asia, in china rallying and it makes me wonder if markets should be l rallying, when the situation is so dire. >> well, of course they shouldn't be, but markets operate according to their own logic. because what you see in china right now is a controlled equity market and you're having the so-called national team either buy or threatening to buy, which pushes equity prices higher. so the chinese markets are
5:15 am
manipulated at this point. you've got to remember that xi-jinping is at a point where i don't think he knows what to do. hhe has just appointed a new coordinating body in the communist party, nine members, one of them is a health official and her degree, lauren, her degree was in mechanics. so they're not trying to solve the problem. they're trying to control the narrative. you can't solve the problem if your pry mayor youly -- primary purpose is to try to get propaganda out there and control the narrative. lauren: they're trying to focus on the relief efforts and maybe hiding how grave the problem is. the who says the vaccine is so far off and the calendar is interesting to me here, gordon, because 14 days ago the hubay province lockdown went into effect. the incubation period for the coronavirus is 14 days which is today, does that change the narrative at all in your opinion. >> i think the problem is that
5:16 am
the quarantine might be a good idea but it was far too late because before that quarantine went into effect, for instance, 5 million people left wuhan, according to the mayor, that's out of a city of 11 million. and this virus has been spreading fast throughout china for most of december, as well as a good part of january. because beijing only started to really deal with this in serious manner about january 21st, 22nd, 23rd, maybe the 24t 24th. and that's an indication that no matter what they do now, they're trying to control something that's already out of the box. lauren: gordon chang, thank you for the time. >> thank you, lauren. cheryl: all right. let's take a look at u.s. futures along this topic. we've got green arrows to show you, dow up 95, nasdaq up 34 and a three quarters. hopes that the coronavirus can be contained and again, as she was talking about, china cutting tariffs in half on $75 billion in books, these are market positives, folks.
5:17 am
also this story, apple folding to pressure from competitors, the big change that could be coming to your iphone. lauren: and remember the peloton wife in the commercial? she gave the company a big boost over the holidays. lots of sales. but we ask, are americans actually cycling away from at-home gym equipment? we'll have the answer when "fbn: a.m." returns. ♪ so many years we tried. ♪ to keep our love alive nature. so, we met in the middle. ohhhhh! look who just woke up! you are so cute! but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. yeah, it was really easy and we saved a bunch of money. oh, you got it. you are such a smart bear! call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be.
5:18 am
it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices. but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging and lower drug prices now.
5:19 am
5:20 am
lauren: apple might be changing up the iphone in a major way. cheryl: lets let's bring in t larson. what are they going to do now. >> there are rumors they're going to make a foldable iphone. cheryl: oh, like samsung.
5:21 am
>> it will be interesting to see if they do it. i love apple rumors. there's a whole community of people. lauren: they're usually true. >> they usually are true. this is based on a patent application that was filed. if you're filing a patent for something, that means you're trying to lock down the intellectual property. the foldable iphone rumor follows up on what could be a new i-mac, that would be a solid piece of glass that will fold in front of you. they're going to try to do it differently from samsung. there is no hinge on this, the renders that i've seen online, which are rumors, this is not confirmed by apple, they have no comment about future products, but it could potentially be good. we're going to have to see if they're going to do the motorola razr type where it folds in half and it's a smaller smartphone or if they're going to go like samsung and it opens up to a larger tablet. cheryl: i'm still waiting for my apple car. >> yeah, where is that with th.
5:22 am
with the foldable phone, we've got the coronavirus concerns which is -- people aren't able to go to work because they're under quarantine. we could see a slowdown. cheryl: let's talk about peloton and some of the problems they're having. >> they hit a bit of a stumble over the past 24 hours, the stock taking a bit of a beating. i think this is a case of market saturation. you can only buy one bike, if you're going to have a peloton bike, you're only going to buy one. you're not going to put one in every room. lauren: sure. >> i think a lot of these companies when they come in and say we have our widget that you're going to buy and you're going to pay a monthly fee. that's going to be great on the balance sheet for the first time. it's the monthly fees that we need to focus in on for these companies. i think that's what we're starting to see with pell ton. they hit market saturation. the people who are going to buy the bikes are buying. lauren: what about corporate
5:23 am
partnership as, if they ink deals with hotels. >> that would be a good move because you will get more customers to sign up for the monthly fee. cheryl: the peloton wife, that actually juiced up their sales for the holiday. >> got them a lot of attention. cheryl: at the time, the stock took a huge hit. how wrong could people be? it's interesting. >> they have a future, peloton has a you -- has a future. they lowered the monthly fees. a lot of people like the group exercise. lauren: a lot of us were discussing we don't like working out at home. cheryl: brett, thank you, sir. lauren: catch brett on fox news headlines, 24/7, sirius xm channel 115. look at what's going on on your screen, the dow, the nasdaq and s&p higher four days in a row, dow is up an even 100, folks.
5:24 am
will china's move to cut tariffs in half lead to more records today? cheryl: it was a happy ending for one pup parent. coming up next, we have the brewery that reunited a woman with her dog and they're doing so much more. you want to stick around for this story. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ mmm... good. so i've spent my life developing technology to help the visually impaired. we are so good. we built a guide that uses ibm watson... to help the blind. it is already working in cities like tokyo. my dream is to help millions more people like me.
5:25 am

5:26 am
we are called to comfort these people, to be a blessing to their lives. - [presenter] for just $25 we'll rush an emergency survival package to help one desperate elderly person for a month. call right now. - in ukraine there's no support network. they don't have food cards or neighbors that come in to help. they're turning to us because they have nowhere else to turn. - [presenter] your gift is a lifeline to help these elderly jewish holocaust survivors. help them to live out their final years with dignity and love. call right now. - what i pray is that you won't turn your eyes but you will look at their suffering and your heart will be changed.
5:27 am
- [presenter] with your gift of just $25 we can rush an emergency survival package to help one desperate elderly person for a month. call right now. cheryl: here is your morning cheat sheet, the top headlines to get you through the day. president trump is going to speak today at the 68th annual national prayer breakfast. the event is hosted by members of congress and the fellowship foundation which is a nonprofit that brings together religious, political and business leaders. house republicans could vote today on a resolution to condemn speaker nancy pelosi for her now infamous paper ripping moment at the state of the union. it condemns pelosi's actions as a breach of decorum that brought discredit on the house. pelosi told reporters she did
5:28 am
because it was, quote, a manifesto of mistruth. china cutting tariffs on $75 billion worth of u.s. goods as the 12th case of the coronavirus is confirmed in wisconsin, the outbreak killing over 500 people in china with over 28,000 cases. lauren. lauren: wall street is on track to set more records today after china announces that it is cutting tariffs on some u.s. imports. todd horowitz, chief strategist, joins us now. good morning. >> good morning, how are you? lauren: citigroup is warning about a sense of euphoria and complacency in the markets l. they say the impact of the coronavirus is unclear, yet the dow could reach 30,000 today, this week. how do you interpret all of this? >> well, you know, i think it certainly can reach it, lauren.
5:29 am
we've broken back out to the upside after last week's trouble. a lot of the news might be priced in. it was kind of known because markets are efficient in pricing ahead of time. so right now we broke out this morning, we are significantly off what the overnight highs were. you're seeing other markets that are starting to show a little bit of concern, the bond markets turned from negative toes positive, grain markets which should be exploding higher on the tariff news are not. they're lower on the day. so again, i think we're obviously still going higher and we're going to go higher until we don't. 30,000 is 2% away. we could get there. we could get there today. we could get there tomorrow, and tomorrow is the jobs numbers. certainly, we're going to get there and for now the rally continues and there's no reason to think that it can't go higher. lauren: are we complacent or euphoric? those trigger warning signals to me when i hear adjectives like that. >> well, i think we're more
5:30 am
euphoric now than complacent. when you follow the the vics, n we're complacent, it's around 12. right now we're around 15. it says there's more people buying protection now which means they have a little concern but they don't want to miss the rally. what they're trying to do is is they're trying to buy protection and buy the rally at the same time, versus just buying the markets. we're not as complacent as we were. i think that's kind of slipping away. still, euphoria is there and again, we can continue to go higher if we get a good jobs number tomorrow, you could see a major explosion higher. lauren: the private job creation, in the headline number we saw that manufacturing jobs came back, construction jobs, those were two weak spots of the 2019 u.s. economy. have we turned the page for 2020? >> you know, look, it looks great and i can only say this,
5:31 am
that the number tomorrow better be a blowout or it could cause some grief into this market because now markets are no longer worried about what the fed's going to do at the moment and looking for a bad jobs number so the fed won't hike. it seems the fed's in line, everybody's in line, so now we better meet expectations tomorrow and i think, again, 291, i don't know if we get that high but certainly they've got to be good or you could see selling pressure. lauren: reason to tell. todd horowitz, thanks so much for the time. >> thank you. cheryl: well, yesterday we brought you the mirror rack stoa minnesota woman that was reunited with her long lost dog after seeing the dog on a beer can in a commercial from a florida based brewery. joining us this morning is the director of sales and marketing for motor works brewing, barrya. what an ayou macin -- an amaziny
5:32 am
that you decided to put pictures on beer cans and the dog was reunited with the owner. are you blown away from this happening. >> it's absolutely incredible. the project has been escalating. the day we released the cans, the first two dogs were adopted on-site that day and then this story with hazel finding her way home all the way up in medicine he sew take, the chip information -- minnesota, the chip information checking out. it's the most incredible story. it's a big testament, like people, make sure you check your dog's information on the chips. there are so many dogs that have out-of-date information. that's why she wasn't reunited earlier, like that information was incorrect and the shelter was not able to contact her previous to this. cheryl: that's the first thing i thought, was make sure your information is up-to-date with microchips on pets. this is may day, the pit mix.
5:33 am
i want to ask about you as a company and beer maker. what inspired you to do this marketing campaign and to put dogs on beer cans. frankly, it's pretty genius. >> thanks. to be honest, it's nothing new to us. we've been doing different things with animal related nonprofits since we opened our doors six years ago. every third sunday we do a wrapy hour extravaganza event and working with nonprofits every month since we opened. this idea just came to be, we were talking with shelter and animal network, nonprofits from january and they saw we had done a special edition of our lavender ale that was benefiting breast cancer research in october. they said we saw you did a short run with this, can you do something with this and i'm like yeah. cheryl: selling beer, selling craft beer, for a good cause, this isn't the first time you've done is. >> we're very community oriented and it's something we know that
5:34 am
the community takes care of us so we try to take care of the community. it's something near and dear to our heart. it's part of our company ethos. cheryl: again, an amazing marketing campaign and it had a happy ending for the pet owner. we hope you're going to do more of this. >> it's going to start seeing distribution. the first batch was available in our tasting room and sold out immediately. we have so many accounts trying to get on board with it. we're looking to get additional dogs on cans, get them on chefs and continue the awareness. cheryl: you could consider cats, barry. i have to ask you, craft beer, we've been doing a lot of stories about younger kids that are drinking hard seltzer, not drinking beer, people aren't drinking wine. how is business in general for you as a beer maker? >> we're great. we're growing exponentially still. it's making sure you have proper
5:35 am
targeting in the market playstationthe march place --ma. people haven't stopped making beer. cheryl: it's motor works brewing, beer for a good cause, i encourage our viewers to check it out, maybe buy some beer and help out a pet or a cancer victim. amazing. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having us. lauren: speaking of helping man's best friend, coors light is offering to cover adoption fees of you up to $100 ahead of valentine's day. the beer company says this is during a time when people tend to couple up but the offer is only available to the first 1,000 eligible participants and the dogs has to be adopted between now and february 21st. cheryl: fur-ever homes are very important. i love this. you're going to love this. your money is moving higher this morning, the dow is up 99, s&p up 9, nasdaq up 36 and-a-half. a lot of positive news. china cutting tariffs on $75 billion in u.s. exports. also, you've got the coronavirus might be getting a little bit
5:36 am
better. also, coming up, bernie sanders leading the pack so far in new hampshire after a pretty impressive showing in iowa as mike bloomberg is rising. could it be the billionaire businessman p versus businessmac socialist. lauren: the army is developing technology to give our soldiers a big advantage in the field and it's straight out of a science fiction movie. we'll have he details straight ahead on "fbn: a.m." ♪ gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
5:37 am
5:38 am
5:39 am
lauren: 2020 hopefuls take new hampshire by storm after the caucus chaos in iowa. dueling polls show pete buttigieg and bernie sanders in the lead. cheryl: griff jen p kin jenkinw hanewhampshire this morning. >> reporter: it may be cold in new hampshire but we have a democratic nomination race that is heating up in a major way, coming off of the iowa news that you got sanders and buttigieg in a virtual dead even tie, here a new boston globe poll shows interesting things, sanders, the hometown favorite on top at 25% but buttigieg 19%, up 4 points from yesterday. biden, 12%, which is down 3 points. warren at 11% and get this, 14%
5:40 am
were undecided. yesterday, the mayor with this momentum was talking about appealing to all the voters of all stripes. watch. >> we have to recognize there are options somewhere in between a revolution and a status quo. in order to govern as well as to lead, we've got to enlist energies of people from my party, independents, and some number of people who are accustomed to being in the other party. >> reporter: that drop for biden not good news, they hoped to gain steam in new hampshire. he's absent from the campaign trail today, advisors say he's meeting, trying to prepare for a town l hall perhaps tonight. he was attacking yesterday, though, the frontrunners. watch a this. >> he calls himself a l democratic socialist. well, we're already seeing what donald trump is going to do with that. >> i do believe it's a risk to be straight up with you for this party to nominate someone who has never held an office higher
5:41 am
than a mayor of a town of 100,000 people in indiana. >> reporter: vice president biden is probably not the only one that will be attacking mayor pete buttigieg in tomorrow's debate. we'll have to wait and see. cheryl: thank you so much. appreciate that live report. a new poll from emerson shows bernie sanders with a commanding lead ahead of the new hampshire primary. pete buttigieg, a distant second is it time now to consider bernie sanders a favorite to win the nomination. let's ask siri kim and spencer krishley. guys, good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: spencer, first to you, i guess not a big surprise with new am shire. this is -- ha new hampshire. what do you make of the numbers? >> i think that we have to be very careful with polls as
5:42 am
always, especially polls so close to primaries. we've seen how volatile they are. if we look at a collection of polls over recent days, we can see wide swings for individual candidates. that said, and even taking into account the neighboring state effect, bernie sanders is a strong campaigner this time, he was a strong campaigner last time, not to be discounted. i think buttigieg pulling ahead so convincingly in iowa was really striking and i think it's kind of a tribute to his just solid core as a candidate. he's very young and as joe biden points out, his resume is a little thin for national office but i think people are probably responding to the solid core he has as someone with pragmatic solutions that a lot of people can relate to. i think they're both very strong candidates. cheryl: to your point, its is early going. we didn't have a clear -- four years ago, we didn't have a clear leader in the republican party at this point in the many campaign but siri, to that, joe
5:43 am
biden kind of lost here and kind of his slipping. iowa was not good for joe biden, siri, and he's already fired one of his field cour directors. the campaign is kind of in crisis mode, it seems. what do you think of that? >> it is crisis for vice president joe biden. we forget he came in essentially fifth in iowa. he already preordained he was going to lose new hampshire. when you are behind in the two early states, i'm not necessarily sure south carolina is going to be his firewall. he should be in crisis. cheryl: it's interesting too, as we look at somebody else who is not in crisis, who actually is polling strongly and that's mike bloomberg and i'll take that to you, spencer. you've got an interesting dichotomy happening in the democratic party. you've got a billionaire in mike bloomberg who we always hear from bernie sanders and elizabeth warren is the evil in the country, you've got socialism on one side and
5:44 am
somebody very wealthy on the other. what do you think the party is going to lean more towards, spencer? >> well, i think the party is just going to lean towards nominating an effective candidate who can beat president trump. i think people worry too much about the democratic party have the thumb on the scale too much. i think we could see something like that happen. bloomberg has been running a very impressive campaign, a lot of people thought he would be blowing through his seemingly endless supply of money. money cannot buy success in politics as many preview previos self-financed candidates have found. i was at an event in mont montey recently. it reminded me on an obama event. bloomberg's event struck me as in that league. he's spending money very intelligently. cheryl: the last word to you,
5:45 am
siri, impeachment ending in washington. is this a negative or a positive, do you thinker think,e democrats, the impeachment debacle. seems to me it maybe hurt them a little bit. >> i absolutely do think it is a negative. first and foremost, you have absolutely solidified president trump's base as if he needed anything else to energize his voters. when it comes to the democratic party, they are in a panic mode because they can't find a narrative to beat the president in 2020. they tried a abuse of power. they tried quid pro quo. they tried inept aitude, they tried bad character. it's unlikely they'll settle on a candidate d to beat him. cheryl: thank you for being here, fascinating. here we go with new hampshire. we'll have you both back. thanks, guys. >> thanks so much. lauren: it's going to be a long year. let's take a look at -- november is many months away -- how your money is doing this morning.
