maria: yeah.hey are representing preventing a much stronger global economy and doing damage to american exports and the president is the first guy with the backbone in decades, maria, to actually go after it. not just wisper it but to go after it with at least preliminary actions. maria: that was part of my interview with national economic council director larry kudlow on thursday on mornings with maria on the fox business network just a short time ago the president tweeted about this and he said president xi and i will always be friends no matter what happens with our dispute on trade. china will take down its trade barriers because it is the right thing to do. taxes will become reciprocal and a deal will be made on intellectual property. great future for both countries, but fears of a looming trade war with china sent the markets plunging on friday by the close the dow was down 572 points, the s&p 500 was down 58 points and the nasdac plunged 161 points in step with the massive volatility and fo

maria: and happy weekend. welcome to the program that analyzes the week that was and helps position you for the week ahead. i'm maria bartiromo. we've got a jam packed program for you. coming up in a moment, alpha one captain tall parters founding partner, my guest. and my emotional wide ranging entire view with george w. bush and former first lady laura bush. he was candid in his feelings about his moth's passing this week. you don't want to miss it, this exclusive fox business report. first, colin is standing by in the newsroom with the latest headlines. >> hey, stocks started the week off on the right foot thanks to strong earnings from the likes of netflix, ibm and goldman sachs. some weakness in tech. a rougho for apple as the morgan stanley report on weak iphone demand hurt that stock on friday. was it enough to ruin the week with all three indexes finishing in the green. well far ghost being find 1 pill ondollars for forcing customers into auto insurance and charging mortgage buyers unfair fees. consume

maria: yeah. probably the day in terms of economic this week. it's a quiet week, but we do get the friday jobs number and 180,000 jobs expected with the unemployment rate going down to 4%. that's a bad number. dagen: and last week you saw buying treasuries. i think people looking in the coming weeks not just to earnings season, but people will want to know if that was a fluke, was it portfolio rebalancing? some people peeling off these giant positionses they had in technology stocks and just parking the money in longer term treasuries or not, because there's been that flattening of the yield curve which might signal to some the economy is slowing down. maria: exactly. i said earlier it felt like a slowdown in the first quarter, although we did get the gdp number of 2.9%. the financials taliban on april 13th -- begin on april 13th, and that's going to kick us off where we are expecting profits to be up 16.5%. let's take a look at futures, because we are expecting a lower opening amid fears of a pos

maria: right. dagen: make us, remind us through his own humor who barbara was in part and i think that that's why people have such affections even still for president bush. maria: i totally agree with you. >> what's amazing is the outpouring of affection really broke through the news cycle and that's hard to do these days with so much going on. it's like the nation stopped at least for a little bit to pay respect. it was nice. maria: his leadership came across in the interview, i thought, and her elegance came across in the interview and as a result the strength of barbara bush came across. dagen: to digress a little bit, at the funeral service, memorial service, president obama and michelle will be there and they are very close to president bush and first lady laura bush and so i think that that's -- them being there is actually important for the family and the nation because it'll be interesting to see the interaction between the two because you have seen president bush next to michelle, remember

maria: mr. chairman you've got to explain what you just said i think this is extraordinary that you're telling us that in order for the fbi, the department of justice to launch an investigation into so-called collusion between president trump and the russians, there was no official intelligence used, then how did this investigation start? i don't understand, sir please explain. >> well, i think that is the point. we don't understand. we've never understood because we have access to these finished intelligence products and we've never seen one. so we thought well maybe there was one that went through a different channel that was kept really quiet that was secret, it was kept from the congress and other folks. well, in fact, after our investigators reviewed this, that is not what happened. there was no five eyes intelligence product as its been reported. there was no product and i think that's a major problem because we have to have trust with our partners with our allies. we have to make sure tha

thank you maria. maria: was this the right move?t certainly was the right move, and not only was it the right move, but the inclusion of britain and france and the operation as well as the support that turkey gave us, perhaps gives us a way forward because now we have a situation where all of the neighbors, all of the neighbors around syria, are dealing with the results of this max mass exodus of people fleeing this conflict, so as a consequence, all of europe, as well as turkey and jordan and lebanon, are in a circumstance now with 14 million people have been driven out of their homes, a half million killed, and they would like to see a solution. if we can have a strong diplomatic effort now backed up with serious financial pressure against those who are transferring these arms so that assad can continue this bloody conflict, we may have a way forward for a political solution that's what we need right now is to bring all of europe and all of the region together to do that. maria: understood but what is the way forward? how do you e
