Lauren tgif, good to see you, cheryl. Thank you for joining us. Lauren simonetti, i forgot to give my last name, im lauren. Cheryl yes, you are lauren. Things are really getting tough in california, folks. Fierce wild fires fanned by powerful santa ana winds are burning out of control in san diego county. The fires destroyed more than 400 homes and many other structures, 200,000 people in los angeles and ventura counties have been told to leave their homes, fire officials have said today will be another challenging day. Its going to move in different directions, its going to be train driven so crews are going to have to be very careful on their position when those transitions happen and sometime those can be very difficult to predict, other than just pure observations. Well, california governor jerry brown declaring state of emergency for san diego county. A fastmoving fire its roaring west. Lauren poor firefighters themselves they are tired and their homes are ruined in many cases. We are also talking this morning about the prospect of a Government Shutdown overted for now, Congress Passed a temporary budget to keep the government open for two more weeks. This will maintain spending for Government Programs through december 22nd for a longterm solution republicans put Pentagon Spending at top of wish list but democrats wants daca, a deal for dreamers. Cheryl well, for more on this, lets bring in oliver mcgee, former u. S. Deputy assistant secretary of transportation for Technology Policy and the clinton administration, hes also the author of jumping the aisle, i became a black republican in the age of obama, good morning. Good morning, cheryl. Cheryl they are pucker it to the wire, i guess thats not surprise when it comes to congress, oliver. This short deal is still arguing on the democratic side, the dreamers, we have to have something, she wants something now. The republicans are saying its about military, can they get agreement for longterm spending bill in police before christmas . I think so. I think when the leader mcconnell and ryan and nancy pelosi are meeting with Vice President pence and President Trump i think they were really happy about what they were trying to come to in negotiations and i think they are going to be coming up with a spending bill that has some constraints on what the spending is going to be in 2019 while they are trying to set up caps in 2018 and as you said, its very about dems with for the dreamers and the republicans for the defense spending and basically the two will find some path to meet together. Cheryl its interesting, you say that but its interesting oliver, i want you to listen to what Luis Gutierrez had to say, democrat, of course, of where the democrats stand pretty strongly, listen to this. If you need help of democrats, then it cant be a republican budget, it has to be an american budget and within that american budget, it has to include values and ideals of democrats. Cheryl oliver, the republicans cannot go it a loan on the budget. Right. They cant and they really need to have some type of compromise here. I think the white house and President Trump want to do something about daca but at the same time he wants to make sure that the military is well supported. Remember, the government is about the white house is about the guns and the money and they want to make sure that theres enough money to go around for the guns but at the same time theres American Values that trump is trying to ensure with daca to ensure that that is put in place, but he does not want that a part of the budget. He wants that to be separate, so that he can try to be able to come at that at a different angle and most of all he wants to ensure that the Corporate Tax discussion is that 20 and we can be competitive across nation because britain is going down below 20 and ireland at 12 , we really need to push this a little bit at 20 . Cheryl its everywhere. Oliver mcgee, thanks for getting up early this morning, we appreciate it. Thank you for having me.

Lauren alabama special elections candidates neck and neck in the polls, democratic hopeful doug jones is facing backlash over raciallycharged campaign that we will show you in just a bit as embattled gop roy moore hopes that President Trumps rally in florida which is about an hour away will help him put him over the top. Lets discuss former minority leader capris and ford oconnell, join us this friday morning, capri, i will begin with you, you think moore is going to win no matter with with or without trumps help . I do. I think that alabama is historically republican and while this has been incredibly, you know, contentious race with roy moore and all of the publicity, negative publicity that hes gotten nationwide, dont forget that roy moore has been thrown off of the Supreme Court twice in alabama and is no stranger to controversy and continues to win, with or without President Trump or with or without rnc, roy moore wins the special election, low turnout, the people that show up are going to be people that are concerned about maintaining a republican seat in alabama and maintaining that majority, republican chaimber in the United States senate, so you never know but but thats my read and i think a lot of this is just down to the fact that republicans want to make sure in washington that roy moore plays ball. Ironically capri, this early in the morning we actually agree with something, its going to come down to turnout but because demographics in alabama, leans so heavily republican, you have to understand trump won the state by 28 points, the last democratic United States senator elected from the Yellow Hammer state was in 1992, look, theres no question that doug jones could win and, yes, trump may give moore a bump, but in reality if anything goes moore should win. Lauren what happens if roy moore wins . Immediately theres going to be backlash. So many republicans are saying he should drop out. Look, theres no question theres going to be backlash but you have to understand why President Trump wants this seat so bad in 73 years since world war ii, the republicans have only controlled house and congress seven years. Given where democrats are, including illegal immigration, this seat is whats important and hopefully basically the situation would be adjudicated swiftly and ideally, what will happen is they throw roy moore out and governor of alabama appoints a suitable replacement incase roy moore is innocent, which i hardly doubt. Lauren i want to talk about campaign strategy. You see doug jones appealing to two groups, number one to republicans, im all gun ownership, et cetera, on the other hand, we are going to show you the ad that was sent to African American voters in alabama basically saying, think if a black man went out of high school girls, anyone would make him a senator, what do you think about the strategy, capri . Yikes. This is allow blow. The only shot that a democrat has galvanizing African Americans and getting them to the polls, theres better ways to do this than mitigating circumstancey dirty way that, i think, hes trying to go about doing it. I mean, im sure that there are a number of things that roy moore has done to contrast those records between, you know, someone in the democrat that, you know, prosecuted members to have ku klux klan versus someone who has made statements about African Americans, thats a better way to go than than stirring up the racially charged, you know, controversial capri, thats not the only one being placed in alabama, highway alabama ive never heard of. Telling alabama voters that essentially their vote would be made public and community will know. Please. So bad that google and youtube no friends of republicans pulled that ad down. So theres a lot of going on here and nobody looks good all around. Agree. Lauren we will see what happens on tuesday, in the meantime enjoy the weekend. Thank you. Thank you. Cheryl we continue to follow the devastating wild fires out west with no relief in sight for Southern California. Its going to be traindriven.

On the 15th. Cheryl very excited. We couldnt get tickets but we are still going to talk about it. A lot of breaking news this morning, fierce wild fires have been fanned by the powerful santa ana winds, they are still burning out of control in Southern California. These fires destroying more than 400 homes and several other large structures overnight. Lauren fire Officials Say today will be another struggling day. Will carl, how does it look . Well, good morning, guys, its setting out to be another dangerous day on the ground here. The winds have died down overnight but you can see that the flames are once again baring down on this community and we have been on the front line, take a look at what we have been seeing. The flames have raised down the hillside in the couple of minutes, they are being fanned by the fierce winds that we have had throughout the course, they are eating everything in their path. Now the reason this is such a concern is because on this side of the Pacific Coast highway you have a number of beach homes, you can see how close all of these flames are, there are firefighters on the other side trying to do everything that they can to protect this community. These fires have threatened 23,000 homes, 190,000 residents remain evacuated and the fire crews are working day and night and the residents we have spoken with say they are truly grateful we are very grateful for the Fire Department and all of the Fire Departments from up and down the state and outer state. They are all here helping us. It never dreamt that we would be back here again, we thought we were safe last night. Check out the dramatic video of ranchers racing to save their horses, it has really turned into a dangerous game for those firefighters because when they are able to put one fire out, thats when another fire can pop up and weve had this for the last three days. Cheryl there were some horses that had been lost, we are looking at the dramatic video of his or hers escape but there have been wildlife lost . Several dozen horses killed in this area a couple of dais ago and such a scary situation because some of these fires break out in the middle of the night and all you get is a text alert, some people only have minutes to try to get off of their property and when you have so Many Wildlife like the horses in the middle, you can see how crazy the situation is to not only try to save wildlife but your family and yourself at the same time. Cheryl will carl live in ventura county, will, thank you. You bet. Lauren speaking of the dramatic wild fires theres alarming glitch in a Navigation App that is hurting drivers instead of helping them. Cheryl Tracee Carrasco has that story and other headlines welcome back, trace. This is scary, the navigational app directs people where to go, directing people to streets, these quieter streets that are off of the main highways that are closed down because of the fire, so drivers are heading straight into the areas that are shut down because waze is directing them. A lot of this seems to be happening wednesday, that was one of the busiest days, waze had a hard time keeping up, by thursday users did report that the issue was figured out, yes, you can see it would be pretty scary heading you directly to the wind and waze should be directing you away from that. Lauren hopefully in a safe car. You have news from safe cars . Tracee top picks for 2018, you can see at the top, the kia fortedubaru and Mercedes Benz glc, as far as the list goes, they do keep updating throughout the year as new changes are made and new vehicles do come out. If youre looking for a new car, thats a good list. Cheryl a lot of people are for the holidays. Speaking of holidays, a lot of wine being served, you have a lowcalorie wine to tell us about . Tracee low calorie and sugar free. This is something new that not many people are doing, thats a tough wine but slim line wine. Thats a tough one there. It would be launching next week, its available online, red, white, sparkling white and sparkling pink, its 370 calories a bottle, 50 calories a glass and no carbs. Cheryl 270 a bottle . You could if you wanted to. Remember Bethany Frankel had skinny wine, she did pretty good. A lot of people want low calorie low sugar option. Lauren i cant wait to try it. [laughter] cheryl put that in your stocking. Tracee tgif. Lauren lets move onto jobs report that comes out in about three hours from now. The number should give us a more accurate look after the hurricanes caused a pretty big swings in the data. Sean ohara joins us now. I want to talk about report and other things, john. We will kick it off with jobs, what do you think the number is going to be and to you think this solidify it is fed hiking rates for the third time this year later this month . Good morning, lauren, thats for having me on this morning, i think we will see a jobs report in 195,000 to 200,000 range as being predicted, its not necessarily the number thats important as it relates to the fed but the quality of the jobs, we had had the Previous Administration had some type of moderate job growth but the job that is were created were mostly government jobs and lowpaying Service Oriented jobs and parttime jobs, what we want to see in numbers solid wage growth along with creation of new jobs and i think thatll give the fed the signal that they need to determine how quickly and how many more times they raise rates. Lauren we would expect to see a wage growth, and you also have businesses hopefully feeling more confident with respect to their taxes going down . Well, i think that, you know, the unemployment numbers at 4. 1 now, Labor Participation has been increasing, t getting more competitive. Its good for people looking for jobs. I could just tell you from our perspective from small etf company we have hard time filling job that is we have and we are trying to grow. So i think that pressure will will cause wages to rise just by itself. Lauren i want to show you a chart of bitcoin, it is up 1500 this year, its unbelievable, here is the latest, it grew 40 in 40 hours time, at one point hitting 19,000, it started 1,000. This sunday we will begin to see futures for bitcoin start to trade so i am curious your thoughts on bitcoin in general but will we see a bitcoin etf at some point soon . You know, i think its fascinating that its gone up so much in the last couple of dais especially in light of the fact that there was a story 50 and 70 million worth of bitcoin were stolen, the white house has been hacked, the dnc was hacked, yahoo was hacked and i dont know if i can put my money where theres nothing behind it. Its not something we are interested in. I know there are several filings out there. The filings have challenged that go with them. Custody issue is a big deal. You will see derivatives problems, role, schedules, how futures and options work, its just something that to me looks very speculative. It reminds me, though, if you want to use historical analogy in the 1850s in california there was a gold rush, the people that really made a lot of none gold rush were the dry good stores, the people who sold picks, shovels, all the equipment they need. If you want to use bitcoin that way, use technology. Land research, there are semiconductor manufacturer, the sales were up 36 , fiveyear expected growth is 24 , that maybe a safer way to play it. Lauren thats a very good tip, john, thank you, we appreciate your perspective today. Thank you very much for having me. Cheryl coming up a movie event two years in the making is finally here. Finally someone showed me the place. Cheryl it is the premier of star war it is last jedi, global event and talk about shaken not stirred, this truck overturned on the highway loaded with vodka.

The wall street journal report that is united industries, unit of caterpillar will pay a fine of 5 million and 20 approximately in restitution. Caterpillar says it has not found any safety issues related to this case. Perhaps one of the stories of the morning, video a tractor trailer carrying vodka overturned yesterday, spilled its cargo on i95 outside of philadelphia, you can see the crews on the scene, they spent hours unloading the boxes of vodka so they can get the truck to become lighter and turn it rightside up. Driver was taken to the hospital to be checked out and this accident, of course, is under investigation. Cheryl thats really see to see the vodka on the floor. [laughter] lauren i wonder how much of it is okay, not broken, the bottles not broken. Cheryl all right, we are one week away from, well, its going to be popular, the release of the film everybody has been waiting for and cannot stop talking about. This is not going to go the way you think. Cheryl star wars last jedi making awes in world premier in tokyo last night. Here to weigh in the hype, excitement, katrina is with us this morning, good morning. Nice to see you, good morning. Cheryl so it begins. So it begins, people are so excited, the buzz is happening, social media is all a buzz, people are really, even fans who fans and even nontypical star wars fans are talking about this film and i think Carrie Fisher might have something to do with that. Everyone wants to know whats going to happen with Carrie Fisher and people want to see how they pass the or torch. Cheryl old cast members that are back. The carrii fisher, issue, you filmed her scene and she was suppose today stay in the series, we have learned. Yes, she was. She was going to stay, its been confirmed. They will not try to continue character in some strange way with past footage, she definitely will not appear nor will the character so that leads people to believe potential spoiler alert that princess lea will be killed off in this particular film and there are some rumor that maybe her daughter billy lord who is also in this film might perhaps take the reigns. Estimated 200 milliondollar weekend which is great, it would be the biggest opening of the year beating out disneys beauty and the beast, of course, in the spring and so its stands to be the biggest opening of the year and possibly the second biggest december opening ever. Lauren really . Yes. Cheryl i tried to get tickets and have been unsuccessful. The presales are toast until january. Exactly, you will have to wait. Cheryl i want to ask you about the future of they are now saying that they will do another trilogy of star wars after this trilogy . Exactly. Cheryl wild. Spinoffs i think with new characters that will be more stories developing, of course, this is the last jedi and people are thinking that the whole jedi concept is going to die and theres going to be new evolution and thats what Luke Skywalker will be teaching ray, sort of the new way, the new jedi, not such a division between good and evil but something in between. Thats the stage for that to come next. Cheryl the question i cant wait to find out, is ray lukes daughter . I think so yes. I say yes. [laughter] cheryl thank you very much.

Cheryl a lot what is happening in fourth quarters, falcons with new orleans saints, matt bryan knocks home a 52yarder to give at lant tea 3point lead, drew brees, road zone with less than two minutes to go in a game riddled with interceptions, sealed the win for falcons 20 2017. Update on Pittsburgh Steelers line backer, underwent spinel stabilization surgery, suffered injury, 25yearold had to be taken off the field on stretcher, fans concerned that the injury could jeopardize promising career in the nfl.

Soccer federation and slamming the financial burden put on parents of kids who play socker. Cheryl wow, very vocal there. Coming up, of course, its been a big headline, we have been following britains role to lead lever European Union, thats next on fbn am. Remain closed at. Remain closed at. news anchor 3 the stats are in and this city leads with some of the worst traffic, with the average driver sitting in gridlock the equivalent of three days a year. For every hour that youre idling in your car, youre sending about half a gallon of gasoline up in the air. That amounts, over the course of the week, to about 10 pounds of carbon dioxide. Growth is good, but when it starts impacting our quality of air and quality of life, thats a problem. So forwardthinking cities like sacramento are investing in streets that are smarter and greener. The solution was right under our feet. Asphalt. Or to be more precise, intelligent asphalt. By embedding sensors into the pavement, as well as installing cameras on traffic lights, we will be able to study and analyze the flow of traffic. Then, we will take all of that data and we use it to optimize the timing of lights, so that traffic flows easier and travel times are shorter. And sacramento is just the beginning. With advances in cameras, sensors, and network speeds, we have the ability to make cities smarter, and happier. What excites me about this technology is that were using some of the most cuttingedge machinelearning, and ai, to help solve the most fundamental challenges that cities face around the world. Who knew asphalt could help save the environment . lani and the possibilities are endless. Eu and britain reaching a basic through on uk leaving the eu. Good morning, riva, big news. Good morning, the reaction has certainly been big in markets after about six months of negotiations it seemed to be too to the many investors you got a breakthrough in terms of divorce which means that finally negotiations can move onto talk about things like trade agreements and possibly a transition period for the uk which is really given a shot in the arm for bank shares and really european stocks. Lauren we hear from three Central Banks next week, riva, ecb, bank of england and the fed in the u. S. , what are you expecting from them . I think the fed is almost certainly going to raise Interest Rates next week, we will get a final confirmation of that in todays jobs report, bank of england and ecb have a tougher stance normalizing monetary policy. They will be watching the fed closely, no one anticipating big moves from the European Central bank of bank of england quite just at this juncture. Cheryl riva, thats been so interesting, Global Markets have continue today really rally, you know, International Investors are now investing, do you think in general that that trend continues into 2018 . I think a lot of that will depend on what happens with tax, just how fast the fed moves and where the economic momentum remains, you could argue that if you continue to see such a Strong Economy in europe that people may start to think about investing here or in japan as well where stocks are cheaper but a lot depends on tax and on economic growth. Cheryl riva gold, we will see you monday. Lauren thank you for joining us this week on fbn am and mornings with maria starts right now, hey, maria.
