5:10 am
losing 10 out of 14 states on super tuesday. there is a real sense of your uy for his campaign in michigan. he's held five events in the wolverine state in recent days, hoping to replicate his 2016 surprise michigan win over hillary clinton. for biden, the vice president campaigned in michigan with former presidential candidate senators kamala harris and cory booker who joined four other democratic presidential hopefuls, now endorsing biden. >> we have a potential to have a joe biden, who is truly the person in our party, who is truly the one that's calling us to stand together, not to fall apart. >> our campaign is the campaign that in the general election can bring millions of young people to the polls. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: biden is banking on support from michigan's independents, black voters, suburban women and working class white voters, the type of coalition he argues is needed to
5:11 am
beat president trump. sanders is banking on young voters to show up in record numbers, something they have not done yet in this campaign. >> senator sanders was far too late trying to pivot to what made sense to the voters. >> reporter: regardless of the results in michigan, sanders and biden are looking forward to next tuesday's races in florida, illinois, arizona and ohio. in fact, both candidates have dueling rallies tonight in the buckeye state. cheryl, lauren. cheryl: brian llenas, thank you, brian. let's look at other headlines, top stories making headlines today for you. dozens of conservative leaders are calling on the senate to censure minority leader chuck schumer. he's been under fire since making an alleged threat against supreme court justices gorsuch and kavanaugh during an abortion rights rally last week. jeff landry and charlie kirk are
5:12 am
signed the open letter. they call schumer's remarks inappropriate and dangerous. robinhood is in hot water with customers. the trading app suffered another outage yesterday, its third in just eight days. happened shortly after the opening bell preventing users from trading or selling during the wild market day that we saw. service to robin hood was not fully restored until 3:30 yesterday afternoon. cvs is taking an extra step amid the coronavirus outbreak, it's waiving home prescription delivery fees. aetna is waiving early refill limits on 30 day prescriptions to those who have pharmacy benefits through cvs care mark. a spoke spokesperson says the ss will make sure patients have all options available to them. finally, new york governor andrew cuomo comes one a solution to the hand sanitizer shore damage he revealed a new
5:13 am
brand of sanitizer made by state prison inmates. it's got 75% alcohol. cdc recommends products with 60%. it won't be available for purchase. cuomo said it's been given to schools and government agencies. he also said how lovely it smelled, we should add for all of you at home. lauren: how lovely it smelled. cheryl: he talked about the scent. our governor. lauren: this is a relief rally, if you will, dow surging 822 points, s&p up 97, three and-a-half percent, nasdaq up 303 this morning. global equities are higher. we had a bad data feed at the top of the show. the ftse in london is certainly higher this morning. we had it lower. is the selloff over? could a biden win tonight in michigan make for another market rally? cheryl: and pete buttigieg is going hollywood. the failed 2020 democrat's new gig coming up on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ we will, we will rock you.

5:16 am
cheryl: finally folks some green on the screen after president trump announced measures to combat the price fight over oil and the coronavirus uncertainty. is the selling over, let's bring in mike lee, chief strategist, david deitz, president of point
5:17 am
view wealth management. mike, did we capitulate yesterday? >> i don't think so. i think we're in for a nice relief rally. until we have the end in sight of the coronavirus, like the contagion, i don't think we're out of the woods for this volatility. cheryl: the one, two punch yesterday was the oil market and the price fight between the saudis and the russians, that necessarily hasn't resolved itself but we're seeing green arrows, explain that. >> it was the worst day in the oil market since 1991. when you get that type of selloff, clearly an overreracks to the situation, you're -- over reaction to the situation, you're going to see a rebound. certainly a year from now we should be higher. cheryl: what about the economy, mike, because does a market selloff necessarily mean the economy is going to be in trouble or do you keep those two issues separate. >> up until now the economy's been spectacular. the atlanta fed tracker,
5:18 am
tracking for 3.1% gdp growth in the march quarter but none of the march data has come in yet so when we we get into april and may we'll start comprehending the data that all the self containment and all these sorts of bad news, what's effect that's actually having on the real economy, and i think the stock market's a little ahead of that. we'll see if the two kind of collide. cheryl: interesting. david, how many phone calls did you get yesterday and also this morning of investors that want to buy into what was maybe to some an opportunity? >> the level of concern is about a three on a scale of one to 10. i actually wish to see more people in a panic because we're getting most of our calls, people are saying i have some additional money, how fast can you get it invested. cheryl: you don't like, you're telling me. >> yeah. because i would rather have people say they're totally disgusted if we're trying to call a bottom. i tell people, if the outlook is long-term, in it for the long haul, this is an excellent time to get invested.
5:19 am
cheryl: the president came out yesterday and talked about a payroll tax cut possibly. he's meeting with gop leadership today, administration officials are, wall street executives tomorrow. does this tell you that we're out of the woods? >> you know, i think there's more news. we still have the fear of the unknown. we don't know how far this coronavirus is going to spread in the u.s. we don't know the damage it's going to cause not only to human life but to the economy. but i think the president's showing us that we are -- we are about to enter a period of unprecedented fiscal stimulus from the government, whether a payroll tax cut, excess unemployment insurance, other measures to take care of hourly employees. we're going to see unprecedented monetary stimulus. cheryl: helping the cruise industry, helping the airlines, sectors that have gotten beaten up. it is mini super tuesday, david. you've got sanders, you've got biden. do you think we get another rally tomorrow if it's a biden night tonight? >> actually, i think we do.
5:20 am
because although right now wall street is expecting with biden now in the lead that sort of a black swan event of bernie sanders taking over the presidency is less on the table, i think that will represent hel sentiment. cheryl: sanders wants to tax transactions for trading, the exact thing we're talking about this morning. so a little disconcerting. >> absolutely the wrong direction. cheryl: mike and david, thank you for being here on a crazy market day. lauren: crazy in the oil patch too, the price war after talks failed between saudi arabia and vladimir pew continue but was russia -- putin, but was russia's real target u.s. businesses. cheryl: clean it before you swipe it, you are not going to believe how many days the coronavirus can live on your phone. we have new guidance from apple to tell you about, at least to keep your phone clean. keep it here and keep it clean on "fbn: a.m." ♪ let's get loud. ♪ let's get loud.

5:24 am
cheryl: there may have been one upside to yesterday's oil plunge, it caused prices at the pump to fall. the national average price for a gallon of regular is down 15 days in a row. some stations are selling gas for under $2 a gallon. gas prices have been dropping over coronavirus fears. oil this morning is up 5 and-a-half percent. lauren: a big reason for the drop yesterday is the price war between saudi arabia and russia. moscow wouldn't agree to scale back its oil production an and e u.s. energy patch went into a tailspin. senior fellow lieutenant colonel daniel davis is here. good morning.
5:25 am
>> good morning. lauren: what is the motive of vladimir putin, in your opinion? >> this is a very high stakes power play by the number two and three oil producers in the world. mohammed bin salman of russia and putin have different targets. the biggest loser will be american oil shale companies. they're swimming in debt right now. they have to have an oil price of about $40 a barrel to maintain solvency. when it drops below that, it will really harm our long-term prospects because it could potentially drive some out of the market and that i think is putin's primary objective because i think he's using this, a lot is retribution against the united states for the sanctions we put on during the negotiations a couple months ago. lauren: do you think that move will backfire on putin, especially as he looks at his power dynamic in the middle east? it was last year where saudi arabia rolled out the red car ct
5:26 am
for vladimir putin. boy, how times have changed. >> times have definitely changed. it's a real high stakes gamble. from reports we can hear, probably putin has been looking for this opportunity because they have stockpiled somewhere close to half a trillion dollars of reserves to try to ride this out. so he's gambling that he can suffer the loss of revenue from increasing market share, increasing pro dorks but also lower -- production, but also lowering the dollars they get per barrel of oil. it's a gamble to see who will blink first, will it be saudi arabia, russia or will the united states do something to change the dynamics. lauren: maybe all three of us blink at the same time. i have to question, call it the rashness of crown prince mohammed bin salman of saudi arabia. it seemed like he was keeping a low profile. then all of a sudden he really takes on moscow, boosting production and cutting prices. that was a rash decision, no? >> yeah, i mean, i think it is. looks like it was more of an
5:27 am
anger situation because they didn't like the fact that russia wasn't willing to play ball with them and didn't operate according to their time lines especially. it does look like it was a rash reaction and we're going to see, it could cost saudi arabia quite a bit. >> do you think the president will announce some sort of stimulus for the oil patch and our shale producers at home? >> i do. i think he's going to do something to try to take care of our oil producers. he knows how important it is we don't have a lot of companies going into bankruptcy. we have to maintain solvency. i think we'll be able to ride this out. lauren: the department of energy saying the attempts by state actors to manipulate and shock oil markets reinforces the importance of the usa as an energy producer. thank you for your perspective this morning. >> thank you. cheryl: markets are in a different position this morning than they were yesterday at this time. as you can see right now the dow is up 926 points, our experts telling us this is a relief rally.
5:28 am
president trump may be coming up with a payroll tax cut. he's going to have meetings today. we'll keep you posted. right now, the s&p is up 110 in the premarket, a gain of 4%. nasdaq is up 334, a gain of 4.2%. well, the coronavirus wiping out stores across the u.s. of in-demand products like hand sanitizer and lysol. but how you can get the supplies you need without paying a steep price, we're going to answer that. lauren: some big changes coming to some of your favorite shows. thanks to the coronavirus. we'll explain when "fbn: a.m." returns. ♪

5:33 am
multiple daily deliveries. they're always in stock. they are taking care of the customer. so unlike their competitor, doing billions of dollars of stock buybacks, lowe's is investing working capital and inventory to take care of the pros and the consumers. bj's, chris baldwin, we strong and doing the same thing, bj's opens at 9:00 in the morning. weekdays and weekends. albertson's is going to do a successful ipo, they're doing a great job taking care of the customer. retailers that own its own warehouses, trucking fleets, and do around the clock distributions to the stores, the night crews pack out at midnight, viewers should go to the stores between 7:00 in the morning and 9:00 a.m. they'll get the products. lauren: not everybody can go to a store at 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning because they're working in the office, not at home. when you do go to the store, and you see empty shelves when it
5:34 am
comes to bottled water and hand sanitizer, doesn't that create maybe more of a panic than there needs to be. >> it creates a panic. in upstate new york, walmart store 1540, bj's store 150, people were driving 200 miles each way because they knew they would have the product. they're working monday through friday and going upstate to shop the bj's, wal-marts and lowes stores in courtland. there are seven day a week, round the clock deliveries are great for consumers and public safety and reduced panic as you referenced. lauren: i know you're out and about, you do checks of the stores, inventory, have you noticed social distancing, people wearing a mask or keeping a safe distance between themselves and someone else. >> we're seeing social distancing. we're also seeing that lowe's,
5:35 am
bj's, albertsons, safeway, walmart, et cetera, have massive amounts of wipes. as soon as you walk into the store, so people are disinfecting his or her cart and they steer clear of the other customers and feel good there is no cross-contamination on the cart. they can go to lowe's and bj's, albertson's, safeway and be in stock and have no cross-contamination, maintain social distancing in the store and still get what they need. lauren: be careful as you walk around with lysol wipes because you're a target. >> i always leave some behind because i have so many from store checks across the country. lauren: thanks for the tips. we appreciate it. >> thank you. cheryl: here are top stories that are happening today. the u.s. will begin with drawing troops from afghan taken as part of the peace agreement with the taliban, bringing the number of
