Homeland security adviser redmond strategy president , Michael Balboni is with us and investment in investment strategist with the ballots here. Good morning. But to talk about this morning and i guess michael, we learned a lot about the suspect in his usage of social media. The picture is very disturbing, but they had some things when you take a look at the profile come and animal mutilation, utilization of guided imagery, the baklava looking like a terrorist, those are the images out there meant to strike fear anonymously very disturbing. Train to we are getting more information in terms of what lawmakers are looking at. Going to school massacre. A gunman opening fire at his former high school killing 17 people, wounding a dozen others before being arrested. But that man identified as 19yearold Nicholas Cruz. He has been expelled from the school for unspecified disciplinary actions. Reportedly stormed the school before the end of the day yesterday was armed with ana r. 15 assault rifle. He was wearing a gas mask and carrying smoke grenades before pulling the fire alarm. He pulled the alarm so students could come out into the hallway. He has described the scene is chaotic. We heard gunshots going up and down the hallway. He shot in my door. There was dust everywhere. We just heard him go up and down the hallway. We ran to the staircase, but that never would pause and ran back to the classrooms in the gunshots started. I saw they were breathing. There was blood everywhere really. Overnight, 30 searched a Mobile Home Park for possible explosives in relation to the shooting investigation according to the palm beach post, President Trump gave his condolences on twitter. Prayers and condolences to the tends. No child teacher in on all should feel unsafe in american school. U. S. Army officer, retired n. Y. P. D. Lieutenant and criminal justice professor. Court jury. Good to see you. Investigators are combing through the suspect social media accounts. Tell us what they are looking for. Your reaction to it took place yesterday. It is terrific to say the least. A documented sociopath. They will look at the level of complacency. Who did he reach out in the past to give information that had been able for having the propensity to commit to this type of attack moving forward . They will look into how did he acquire this firearm . My understanding this is ana r. 15. Its in civilian eyes of what soldiers use overseas. They will look at how we acquired the firearm. Most of social make up in terms of who these cannot degrade, understanding he was expelled from the school as a result of a fight between an exgirlfriends boyfriend. Could that have been the children of the attack, also numerous instances of this person be impossibly bullied. This collaboration of information is going to be introduced. I guess you have to say was premeditated because he pulled the fire alarm so everyone would rush out into the hallways so he could have more people to shoot. Unfortunately chilling so we had to gas mask posing the fire alarm to put everybody out. Going out with the students, trying to evacuate. Thats the first time ive seen that sophistication. These things usually end so quickly by either taking their own lives or in a shootout. This is very unique from that perspective. This remind me of your work, colorado shooting. With james e. homes, same thing. He shot a good movie theater, but he exited with the rest of the population. It was her flat about that. Dagen this is to both you and michael, but as we find out more about their murderer and the disturbing images on social media of bad behavior, been expelled from the school, nevertheless, what would it take before hand for Law Enforcement to intervene, to prevent this because posing with guns on social media and saying outrageous things, theres nothing in Law Enforcement can or will do. The cops arent going to come and arrest you for that. You have to have collaboration between educators and Law Enforcement. The intelligence it elicited from now will determine where access you to this individual put up some red flags. Is this someone will have an issue with moving forward . His picture shouldve been posted at the front door. When i look at this instant a separate two components. The internal and external peace. The external peace is where this started. Initially started at the component which shouldve have been from the internal security or perspective was close those doors. Schools generally have wide thick doors. They are not screened doors. If you close that door, it wouldve prevented this this assailant from getting in. Trade to the miami herald reported School Administrators had considered sub for another threat that there was an email from allowing them back on campus. There was some pushback, but was there not enough security . Another thing that happens at schools, a lot of people dont realize, and they have of violence report that comes out annually in schools often marginalized this violence of untrue because it makes the administrator looks bad. Its the inability to get their information on effectively two on force me this from happening. Dagen i have experienced at this personally and quite frankly schools can not and will not act until an act of violence is committed, until someone actually lays hands. Thats a very valid point. Dagen a parent can go in fully restraining order. Intel theres a restraining order there isnt a mechanism. I did my doctorate, completed my doctoral studies for the university in one of my focuses was violence in the schools and i found there was a disconnect between Law Enforcement and educators. You have two different agendas. One for whats to come in and provide a level of enforcement. However, Educators Want to minimize interprocess. The two components oftentimes what together in unison and i think that in many instances they would give the position more in touch. Is the ageold question do we want to have an oncampus in school . On the dobbs last night he talked about how florida invested and spent money security, Security Guards for students and clearly thats not working in this case. We have to mention the outcomes and historical timeline. Whats happened in this particular school in how theyve been able to compensate for whats happening. This is the socioeconomically found School District or so this is more of an aberration than a norm in this area. The same token we did have a threat and they didnt effectually neutralize the moving forward. This raises the question of doing it magnetometers in every school in the United States . That may not be the answer. Different demographics to determine which security protocol would be. Magnetometers may be good in a place like new york city, but it may not be suited for that area. Base they detect metal. Like when youre going to an airport. The entrance to every school. I dont know. Is it warranted at this point . In that particular area will did it for something you want to move forward. Maria just a few hours after the shooting, comedian chelsea hammer had this to say on twitter. Heres what she wrote. We have to elect candidates who are not funded by the nra in november. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who wont allow kids to go to school and get shot. Its disgusting how many times this has happened and republicans do nothing. You all have a lot on your hands. Oftentimes the first thing i hear is gun control. I dont think gun control is an answer to the problem. This is a far more advanced situation. There are different components. When you think of gun control, it is not the effect is me. I give you contracts and comparisons as this. Jackson hole, wyoming, chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country but in jackson hole they dont have these issues as gun control is not something in place. Why is that gun control is not an issue there, but its an issue in chicago . Its far more multifaceted. Dagen across the spectrum of ideas for the right to the left, people want greater checks on people who might be mentally ill to on the left mark on control at the federal level. All of this involved encroaching on peoples Civil Liberties in one way, shape or form. I want to point out theres the focus of nothing done at the federal level. No assault weapons ban proposed after sandy hook in newtown, connecticut that was not passed. The mansion to be a bill for universal background checks not pass. More than 200 at the statelevel gun laws passed in the last five years and it still continues to have been. Thats because its unpredictable. The nature of the violence is unpredictable that demographic is not always the way you can apply resources. It can happen anywhere. And that is the challenge for everybody is who is buying the weapons, how they get their hands on them. What is their Mental Health background. Trained to do we know how he got his hands on this . Not yet. Dagen dillon rip and another Emmanuel Church in charleston, he should not have a weapon and he got one because the failure of the background check at the local level working with the fbi, they didnt Followup Committee got a got a gun and kill people in a church. Trade wherever that. Appreciate it very much. Coming up from a Bipartisan Senate caucus reaches a deal on immigration.

Maria with the clock ticking, and senate is close to a deal on immigration reform. It may not have the support of the white house, though. Cheryl casone with the details. Yeah, maria, a group of senators have the dreamers. President trump threatening a veto here, urging senators to decide to vote for a bill proposed by iowa senator charles grassley. That bill needs more of the president s checklist come including greater limits on legal immigration. Theres a lot of ideas around, just heard the minority leader said that there is a few republicans who go along with the democrats.

Though its not clear the enclosure is related or was demoted from his post after the information emerged. Maria, those are your latest headlines. More intrigue on the bruce ohr story. Maria Michael Balboni, more information about omission of information at the department of justice and fbi. He didnt need to tell the ethics regulators that his wife worked for the firm that created the dossier that was used to get a wiretap. At some point you wonder, so you asked the question and you lied . Were you asked a question and you simply forgot about it . There is such a process in place and you assume that everybody who goes to the process is bedded in the same way. But there is a standard and youve got to answer the questions truthfully and we will find out if you dont. That is supposed to be the process. Obviously, somebody questions about is it fair . Was it applied you are malay . And of course, what is the intent of someone who doesnt the question right . Maria there is just so much by sms you like pollution and corruption at the top of the fbi around the election. It is looking like significant issues on how the fbi, that is such an Important Role and one force and has operated at the top levels. I do fix this problem . It is a broken process across the board. It begins with leadership. Theyve got to say this is going to be done in a way that is absolutely foolproof. We have to hire the researchers and look at peoples answers. Fine, we send a message to everybody. If you live your leave you live in the things that of your application, you are gone. Maria which is why we need accountability here, trust that the system works. Because at this point it is collusion. By a handful of people at the top of the agency. We will take a break and when we come back, look at the School Shooting in south florida this morning. We are watching markets and will find out what impact did the dow industrials.

Despite the highs of expected inflation data come you with us this morning when the market completed thought of bad after the cpi was released at 8 30 a. M. Yesterday. The market reversed course going from 202 down 300. As soon as the cpi was released in at the end of the day another reversal. Markets at this morning 250 points right at the start of trading 1 . S p up half a percent and the nasdaq is up two thirds of a percent. Lindsay bal, after a big day at the close yesterday. Would you expect . What do you think went on after a stronger backdrop for the economy . Volatility is certainly here to stay and yesterday was interesting because the cpi numbers spooked investors and is so highly publicized and people were so focused on it. One member was the cpi number that important, that the nasi retail sales weaker than expected. When all said and done, it will be in operation for the market. I know that a lot of economists were burning down their gdp expectations for the first quarter. January is the first month of the first quarter. We still have two more months to go. Maria what is with the atlanta fed coming down to levels below 12 in terms of its growth . Right, they are expecting to. 2 growth. Maria this from the 5. 4 prediction from the sad. You know what, its come down 3. 2 , still very, very good. The Fourth Quarter is looking right now a 2. 6 . Those numbers come down a little date a little bit given inventory numbers. But it has been the consumer consumption that has been brought down. With the 4 in the initial investment of 5. 4 gdp growth not down to 2 , which is still a pretty decent number historically on average. We have seen consumption in any given quarter average about twopoint a percent. In the Fourth Quarter was 3. 8 . January, the consumer doesnt spend as much. They are paying off credit card bills, they are used to discounts. Maria really good inside, wednesday. Dagen and i marvel about all the guess who could give us a serious, accurate information. As a reminder to watch this program, it was january 5th, earlier this year when Jpmorgan ChaseCeo Jamie Dimon told us back in january to expect higher Interest Rates, expect inflation. It came almost three weeks after he set it. Listen to this prediction in january. Youll be much lower than people think in the 10 year and theyve up slower than people thought. Itll be faster than people think. I dont know if that is now an inflection point, but it would be surprising in the next six to nine months. It will be for good reason for a strong american, thats okay. Maria he said will be talking about inflation, Interest Rates in the next six to 12 months. Happen immediately. Dagen one interesting thing that happened yesterday as you had a cellophane treasury across the board in terms of the yields hitting mole two year highs between the fiveyear, 10 year treasury bond, moved about 3. 16 near its two previous peaks of the last three years. What the bond market is beginning to say is stockstill rallied in the face of that, but the Federal Reserve is going to act more aggressively to keep inflation in check. If the fed doesnt move and is Holding Back LikeAlan Greenspan did, then you have these higher prices eating into peoples higher wages. That is what you dont want to have happen. The market is anticipating increased rate hikes by the fed as we go throughout the year. Right now, we still expect three. A 20 chance we will get four. I think inflation, while it is showing signs of increasing, it is still 1. 8 yearoveryear. That is the core cpi number yesterday. 1. 5 . These are low by historical standards. Dagen by inflation, you have to factor in by historical standards. If they see that comedy act in a way that demand higher wages and say im worried about my food prices go up. They cause then inflate this upward cycle in inflation. You look at the fiveyear break in inflation rate that its cracked up to 2. 3 . That is exactly what youre talking about and we havent seen that since 2008. Maria have to worry about whether the Federal Reserve will go too fast, too high. Goldilocks is gone. Dagen by the way, the republicans with that budget bill, the buster are not helping matters, running trillion dollars deficits as far as the eye can see. That added so much pressure on the Federal Reserve and so much more concerned to the market. That was a mistake. Maria look at the market of 280 points. Is it a different focus are we talking about 18 20 growth story . We regain half of our losses. This year we expect 20 Interest Rates. It is going to go higher. Maria im sure. Deutsche bank is at 23 . You want to Say Something. Outline its Consumer Optimism going to last . Dagen wages are going up perfectly. Maria growth is going now. Wages are a key component. Dagen its like i said, who is opening their paycheck this month they i wish nancy pelosi had this money instead of me. You earned it and you get to keep more of it. And he was thinking i wish democrats would be spending this for me. Maria when we come back, nba stars for the florida School Shooting. When the tragedy hits especially close for the u.

Our top story this half hour. The latest deadly School Shooting todds life this morning. Todd, what can you tell us about the shooter in the investigation at this point. Fox news has just learned that the heroic football coach who jumped in front of bullets to save students lives has died. He was an assistant football coach in the Security Guard at the school. Also a graduate of the school. In the first fatality to be identified. We did learn new details about the killer as the Investigation Continues here behind me at the school but also at a Mobile Home Park about 30 minutes away from here. A Massive Police presence was reported overnight. It is in connection with the shooting. A neighbor said police told him it was some kind of explosive at one of the homes. The pictures from inside the school are terrifying. Students trying to find cover under death. The gunmen killing at least 17 innocent victims sending off fire alarms and then shooting those fleeing with a arkansas 15. He then tried to sneak out in a fleeing crowd before being arrested in the nearby neighborhood. The shooter shot through the door. With each passing hour. A picture of the 19yearold nikolas cruz. He was living with the friends and family. He was expelled from school for disciplinary reasons. He was seen with pictures of guns and knives bragging about shooting animals. The sheriff calling the post very disturbing. Any people described him as obsessed with guns. They were called to his home multiple times and he was seen shooting at a neighbors chickens. They described the killer. One student even told local media that everyone predicted the shooting one day he would shoot up the school. He wouldnt talk a lot. He is like the weird kid at the school that you see walking around. The fbi as asking for picture and video from inside the outside the school as they do their investigation to try to piece together exactly what happens. We will come back with any other information. We want to look at the breakthrough in biotech as well. Some of the biggest names are teaming up for a new moon shot effort. They have already raised 250 million in capital funding. It is backed by a wide array of leaders. The former apple ceo. And the founder of the ventures. As the founder chairman and ceo along with regularity coach almon great to see. And you two are also both cofounders of human lung bend longevity which i am a big fan appeared the pre company was really the massing of the genome which is has taught us so much about disease and where we are today. And be able to intervene before it occurs. As a rockstar in this industry. The scientists and engineers that they have. The placenta is the richest source of stem cells that can help lung j how to use the stem cells to help fight cancer. Our mission has been to turn cells that are occurring from that postpartum placenta the riches source of stem into true medicines that can be deployed to treat cancer. How does it work. Somebody said earlier. That is my favorite phrase today. What we had realized as at the heart of the aging process is a loss and exhaustion of the engine a big part of this we believe is directed at replacing those lost regenerative cells with the cells cells that can be recovered mass produced and delivered like a medicine. Our company when we were part of celgene pioneered the Development Products right from the postpartum placenta which are mass expanded and then they are delivered by infusion or at direct injection direct injection and they literally can reprogram the tissues or organs that they reside in. For example when we have our two children we stored the cells with life bank usa. What stored was their original boot disk. The genetic materials that can be used eventually to actually reengineer and regrow organs. How will this be used on a practical basis. Right now we are developing products that are directed just like pharmaceuticals. There will be Specialty Products that will be used to treat autoimmune is disease. Cell therapy over 25 years is safe and there is a perfect storm occurring. Into the consumer knowledge of what these technologies can do. The fact that people go on the internet to look at diseases and how they are feeling and what symptoms they have. Amazon wants to control it they want to be a heavyweight in the healthcare industry. They are offering medical supplies for hospitals and outpatient clinics. What kind of impact is that having on industry in your view. Amazon disrupts up and down the food chain. But at the end of the day the science is where the discoveries are being made. And what they are doing with it 20 years of science legacy is developing a whole new set of products that are are get to can be used to revolutionize how cancer is treated. And how do we actually regenerate ourselves. How do we solve tissue and organ issues. And ultimately extend the human life span. To live a mobile strong life even after your hundred. What we see as the signs and symptoms of agent. And the ascetics begin to degrade. What we recognize as is a cornerstone of maintaining this useful type is to have the healthiest population of stem cells that nationally renovate and repair us. And they did a great job on the cellularity website. Where people can realize the different elements that are now can to become available for them. This is obviously a moon shot opportunity. Congratulations to you. We will look at it and learn more. Thank you so much. It really broke incredible ground. You are continuing to do so. Thank you so much. We will take a break olympic tribute.

Lots to talk about on earnings 57bd thand the stock market. We worried about the cpi yesterday and at the end of the day the markets blew it up. Dagen the stock market because of strong Earnings Growth which you hammer home every morning, but again, it was a big it was a selloff in bonds and treasury bonds, really across all maturity. Two, 10, even 30 year. So at what point do those higher Interest Rates hurt stock investors if at all . The top line too. You talk about earnings, sales growth has been so impressive. 75 of companies that reported beat their estimate.

Joining us to talk more about that is former Deputy Assistant director for the fbi counterterror division, terry terkh. Thank you for weighing in this morning. Youre welcome. Maria tell us what you see in terms of the authorities, what theyre looking for now. What do we need to understand at this point . Right now theyre trying to understand the motivation, theyre trying to figure out what the trigger was that caused him to snap and do what he he did. Did. This goes back to something weve been working on and worrying about for many years, in the aftermath of the unabomb. What are the signs we see . We commissioned a study in the late 90s, amazingly looking at the few serial bombers we had and also mass casualty shooters. We found similar characteristics in all of these cases. Since then, they all really fit in with the people weve seen in the more recent bombings. Essentially, they were these. They were the fact that these people are loners, they all have significant anger issues that showed up to people and people knew and felt what these people were feeling and seeing. They came to the attention of local Law Enforcement and they wanted to matter. This is really important. This was the thing that really stood out. Just about all of these people wanted to have like this Group Identity and be part of a group and yet they never could. Many of them tried to join groups and were tossed out because they were too violent. Finally, they all had some form of mental illness. When you put that together and you look at some of these things and you look at what happened yesterday, it continuously comes back to us with the same set of circumstances. Maria its so heartbreaking, particularly about this football coach. Terry, stay with us. We want to get the latest news because fox news is confirming this morning that the very here heroic football coach who reportedly jumped in front of bullets to save the lives of students, he has died. We have the latest from parkland, florida. Theres a quote, todd, that he said this is not fire crackers, get out of the way. And he started shielding kids. Reporter maria, we do so many of these stories, unfortunately, these days. Its a situation where over the course of the next couple hours were probably going to hear a lot more stories of here oweis s individual. He was a graduate of the school, a 1999 graduate of the school. He is the first fatality to be identified. Just this morning, the kill taken to county jail and overnight we learned brandnew details about him. This, after authorities swarm a Mobile Home Park about 30 minutes away from here, Massive Police presence reported overnight, sources saying it is in connection with the shooting. As for yesterdays nightmare, the pictures from inside the school terrifying, students trying to find cover under desks, shaking and crying, not knowing whats about to happen. The gunman killed at least 17 innocent victims, setting off fire alarms and shooting those fleeing with an a. R. 15. He had a gas mask and had smoke bombs with him during the carnage. He was arrested in a nearby neighborhood after trying to flee. Im so scared. I just have that sound of the gunshots in my head. I just hear it like constantly. It was the most scariest experience of my life. Reporter and with each passing hour a picture of 19yearold Nicholas Cruz becomes clearer. His adoptive mother died this past november and he was living with a Friends Family. He was expelled from school for disciplinary reasons. He was described as obsessed with guns. A former neighbor said police were called to his home multiple times and he was seen shooting at a neighbors chickens. Words like off, strange, troubled, used by multiple students to describe him. One student said, quote, everyone predicted the shooting, with kids joking that one day he would shoot up the school. He was shy. He wouldnt talk a lot. What was your take on him . I mean, he he wa was like tht weird kid you see walk around at school. Like a loner . Yeah, like a loner. Reporter well continue to bring you any new developments the next time we see you. Maria thank you so much. Terry terkhi is with us this morning. Anything that authorities could have done to prevent this, when you hear about the potential motives and see that he was mulling about, trying to blend in with the other students. What could have been done beforehand, if anything . Well, first of all, i have to be really careful here. I dont want to act like im second guessing anything. We dont know a lot of the information that has yet to come out about the police and school interactions with cruz. Some of the things that stand out is weve prevented some of these issues before, these incidents before, by intervening, doing searches, and then finding information and eventually arresting somebody and thereby preventing something from happening. But you just dont know what they really had at certain points in time here, how far this was taken or what people were really saying before this happened. This is an extreme case of all these indicators but it goes back to point out that one of the things we definitely dont have when youre trying to pursue Something Like this within american law and the rule of law, these are the kind of cases where youre worried. You do all that you can. But you have to stop short because if at the time youre dealing with these people or this individual in particular, in this case, theyre not really doing anything. Theres just not much you can do. Theres no provision to just watch them forever. Dagen thats what i was going to ask you. You went through this extensive profile that was put together through intensive research. But really until an individual has committed a crime, theres not a lot that Law Enforcement can do. Dagen, thats exactly right. Look at it this way. How long have we been saying if you see something, Say Something. Michael would completely agree that people have gotten that and taken it to heart. But even Law Enforcement, look at the case of the boston bombing, even when Law Enforcement is involved and does a case, the case they put together is a snapshot in time and at some point ironically we talk about fisa a lot today, at some point they have to back off and let it alone if they dont have enough information to take it forward. Terry, how significant is it that this individual tried to go out with the entire crowd of students, that he pulled the fire alarm, that he got in with the smoke he grenades, that he did all a this preparation and had tactical capabilities, how significant is that for you . Well, i think its very significant. But michael, you see that in all these cases. All of these people, whether theyre International Terrorists or theyre domestic tear rit dos or like cruz, they like to plan out their scene. Look at stephen paddock, all the prework that went into that. Some how they have this sense of how and why they should do it. He knew a lot about the inside. He was a student there. He knew the procedures. He knew what they would be doing at any particular time. And all of that went into this planning. Those are the kind of things that make this kind of case really tough, because both in he preventinpreventing it and lookt what could have been done to try to prevent it. Maria the first thing he did was pull the fire alarm to students would start coming out and people in the hallway for him to shoot. Exactly. Maria thank you very much.

So many signs that Florida Shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities again and again. Michael balboni thats what we were just saying, weve been saying see something, Say Something for years. It leads to a bunch of questions. The first is, what is the he behaviobehavior report . Its so subjective as to what constitutes a threat. Second, is what kind of privacy do people have out there . We he talwe talk about social ma monitoring. Theres capability to he see what people put online. At the end of the day, if you think someone is a threat, what will you do about it until they do something . Something wrong . Dagen a lot of people immediately go to gun control. Maria i dont want to go to politics after Something Like this. Dagen they always go to Mental Health. If you havent hurt someone or committed a crime maria what are they going to do . Dagen you violate someones Civil Liberties. Will we have a National Database of people who are diagnosed with depression. Maria its importan an impot point you make. We expect a big opening for the stock market. The dow industrials expected to be up 250 points this morning t the opening of trading. Investors had concerns over inflation after the unexpected decline in retail sales coupled with the increase in the Consumer Price index. Lets bring in john hildenbraft. The markets completely fell out of bed after we got the cpi number. It was down 300 at one point. By the close investors turned to strong earnings and strong Economic Growth and rallied. We could see more of that today. Were getting another inflation number many this is the productioneproducerprice index s inflation among businesses. It looks like this volatility trade weve had for the last couple weeks might be washing out and people are getting back to buying. Maria weve got the Producer Price index coming out in an hour, expected to be up 4 10 of a percent. Do you think it will be the same situation as yesterday . Exactly. This morning the markets are um premarket. Maria they were up yesterday before the cp. Theyri. They were up hug. Im looking forward to getting past the inflation data and moving forward. One data point doesnt make a dredged. Trend. The economy is strong. We have Consumer Confidence that is at very high levels. We have a global Economic Growth situation going on here. This is all very good for the market. I would ask you, john, just with regard to the fed rate hikes coming onboard, how are the people that youre talking to on a daily basis viewing the increase in the deficit and how thats going to impact the feds trajectory Going Forward . Well, i think it complicates matters for the fed, the fact that not only the deficits are rising but that were getting added stimulus to an economy thats already at what economists call full employment. The Unemployment Rate is at 4. 1 . When its very high you justify fiscal stimulus, either tax cuts or spending increases, to get the Unemployment Rate down. But its already at such a low level, its kind of heart to justify it now and the fear is that when you pump more money into an economy in a low employment state, that it causes Financial Market overheating or inflation. It raises the probability that the fed is going to raise Interest Rates a little birth more thibit morethis year than e would have done. What we saw happening in the markets yesterday is people are realizing when it comes to inflation and when it comes to the fed, its a glacial process. The fed is not going to be reacting on a trigger the may the markets are right now. They might do four rate increases instead of three this year. Thats a decision they dont even make until december. Theres a long, slow process that has to play out before any of that happens. Maria listen to the jp morgan morning note this morning. Theyre saying the robust u. S. Rally on wednesday continues this morning, partly because the actions of the u. S. Dollar strength on the back of the firmer cpi reflects the markets more he relaxed view of policy. Thats being used as the excuse to buy stock. Dagen that makes me stomach turn. Maria people are not worri worried. Dagen you need to worry. Maria well take a break. Well be right back. Markets up 245. The day after chemo might mean a trip back to the doctors office, just for a shot. But why go back there, when you can stay home, with Neulasta Onpro .

Cheryl top officials at several intelligence agencies in the u. S. , the fbi, and nsa, are concerned about surveillance from smartphones that are made by chinas huwaei and zte companies. They are concerned about the risk of using those phones that are beholden to foreign governments. Some of those phones outsell appeeapple in some markets, incg eastern europe. Travelers will now be required to remove all electronic devic e larger than a small phone and will put them in a separate bin. Precheck travelers dont have to undergo the new measures. And speaking of travel, guys, a Flight Attendant is getting big props for coming to the aid of a mother and her baby. An angered passenger caused a huge scene on his delta flight at jfk after she was seated next to an 8monthold baby. She complained she didnt want to listen to him cry for the entire flight. The baby wasnt crying at the time. The mother who recorded the video said the rude passenger started shouting and yelling at everybody as soon a as she board the aircraft. The Flight Attendant said you know what, take the next flight. The woman refused and she was still removed from the plane after she cursed out the mother and the Flight Attendant. She said to the Flight Attendant, what is your name, im going to cost you your job . It was a flight from, correct me if im wrong, from new york to syracuse, which is about a half an hour. This is the example of why flying is a nightmare. It is not the Flight Attendants. Its not the crews. Its not the weather. Its people like that. Take a bus, lay by. Take a bus. Maria as a parent, what are your thoughts . I have four kids. If theyre sitting on a plane, they have as much right as anybody else to be on the that plane. This woman got on, she complained she was sitting in the back of the plane. There ought to be an ability for an air carrier to sit there and say you dont get to fly. Youre going to disrupt everybody else. It shouldnt have to be only about violence. He she should bwe should be ablf youre going to disrupt this flight, you cant be here. To attack a woman and her child, i mean, its absolutely outrageous. Dagen she was threatening to get the Flight Attendant fired because she was telling the lady to calm down and sit down. Dagen when people are nasty, ill tweet the employer of these people, when they threaten you. Maria thats a good idea. Then it will be right there. We are following troubling news this morning.

The suspected shooter is Nicholas Cruz. Theres his picture. He was expelled from this high school. Police have just released his mug shot. Cruz has been booked on 17 counts on premeditated murder. It was a horrific day, a detestable day, absolutely sick to my stomach to see children who go to school with backpacks and pencils lose their lives. No parent should ever have to send their kids to school and have them not return. Maria just a terrible day. Authorities will hold a News Conference at 1 10 30 a. M. This morning.

First, this top story, 17 people are dead this morning, more than a dozen others injured after a 19yearold opened fire, reportedly armed with an assault style rifle at a high school in parkland, florida. The suspect identified as former student, Nicholas Cruz. Hes been apprehended by police and is in custody. Florida republican senator marco rubio and democratic senator bill nelson are speaking out on this tragedy this morning. Each time this happens and how many have happened, we say enough is enough and then it happens again. So its a tough, tough day. Its a day you pray will never happen has happened. This is not the kind of thing that you expect when you send when your kids go away to school school. Maria authorities will hold another News Conference this morning at o 10 30 a. M. , joining me right now is john baraso. Thank you for joining us. On a tough day, your reaction to what has taken place. Is there anything that could have been done to stop this beforehand . Were still getting more information, but its a terrible tragedy. Its utterly devastating news. I visited with marco rubio, the senator from florida earlier this morning and told him that all of america is grieving and we are standing with the people of florida. Maria for sure. For the latest in washington, a Bipartisan Group of senators calling themselves the Common Sense Coalition reaching an immigration agreement that would increase Border Security and grant legal status to the dreamers. The coalition is scrambling for support ahead of the deadline set for the end of the week. There is the possibility of a vote today. What do you expect on this, senator . In terms of immigration, from my point of view im looking for Border Security which is keeping our country safe, enforcement of the current laws, but looking for a solution for the young people who were brought to the country at a very young age. Thats part of it. President trump has laid out a four pillar plan, which is a very reasonable i think actually a very generous plan to give us the Border Security that we need and deal with the daca program but also with people that are brought here through chain migration and with a diversity lottery that i think must be ended. So were going to have some votes today. We need to come to some solutions on this. But im not going to compromise Border Security for anything. Maria its interesting, because Lindsey Graham say this deal will establish a pathway to citizenship. Hes clear that the deal will not deal with the socalled diversity visa lottery. That prioritizes immigration from countries for family reunification. Why isnt is didnt with the lottery becaus, knowing its an important point for the president. Hes right to focus on skills, bringing people to the United States that can bring the contributions that were looking for, the skills we need. Well see what can get to 60 votes today in the senate. To me, the focus is keeping the country safe and we need to deal with the immigration of those people who were brought here illegally. When you use the phrase path to citizenship, that is an area of concern because i know so many of us are focused on trying to give them some legal status, some relief from the worry and the anxiety that theyll be removed from the country when they were brought here as children but not at the expense and the cost of a citizenship at this point. Thats the he debate. Maria do you expect the president to veto any bill that doesnt include the visa lottery . Youre going to have to get something past the senate, as well as past the house. That comes then to the president for a signature. I think the president has been very forceful and actually very generous in what he h offered wh his four pillars. If you stay along those lines, youll get a solution. We need to get an outcome, not just a political vote that satisfies some peoples wishes but doesnt get to a result. Maria what do you think is going on here . Do they not want a true deal . The president has been so clear over and over again, talking about the lottery, that seems ridiculous and chain migration as well. Do they not want to get a deal done . I agree with you, maria. It makes you wonder, after the schumer shut down where the democrats shut down the country by prioritizing illegal immigration over american citizens, you would think they would have been ready with a bill that they agreed to but yet weve been discussing this forge severaforseveral days. They havent brought a bill to the floor yet. It makes you wonder if theyre looking for political debate and discussion and to have this as an issue, rather than looking for a solution. Im looking for a solution that gives us security for the country and deals with the young people that were brought here at a very young age. Maria what happens if nothing gets done by march 5t march 5th, by the deadline . Theres the daca program, some judges have ruled on that in california. That has now been appealed to the Supreme Court. I believe what president obama did was illegal, to set up this program and were going to end up going with a Supreme Court issue related to that. But i think we need to get to a solution to deal with it legislatively. Thats how it should have been dealt with originally, not with the president iall president ial y president obama in the last administration. Maria the white house released their infrastructure plan yesterday. According to multiple reports, President Trump is calling for a 25cent increase to the federal gas tax in order to fund the plan. That federal levy is 18. 4 cents a gallon on retail gasoline, 24. 24. 4 centss on24. 4 cents on. You were in the infrastructure meeting with the president yesterday. What can you tell us about this . Youre right, maria, i was in the meeting with the president. The president s plan i think is a very good one, to work to repair the crumbling bridges and roads and the waterways and the dams and the things we need to do for infrastructure in this country. There is a discussion about how to pay for it. Weve just passed this massive tax cut for the American People which is very successful in the minds of the people and in their pocketbooks as well as for the economy. So im not one that wants to raise taxes. The other part of this, maria, though, is the streamlining and simplifying of the process of getting permits to build and the president knows better than anybody how the delays by government can make it harder and more expensive to do these projects. We had a project in wyoming, it was a safety project on the highway, 14 years to get the permits, 10,000 hours by a wyoming state staff workers to get it done. The project took less than two years t to complete, all because of the regulations and things that i think were absolutely unnecessary. We need to be able to build these projects sooner and the president is calling to get the permitting done within two years. Maria thats really important. Youve done so much on the finance committee in terms of rolling back regulations and getting some of this red tape out of the way. I understand why thats very important and im sure well see more of that. But what about the gas tax idea, do you like it . I dont like it. Others do. It will be a point of discussion. The question is how do you pay for this. The budget bill that just passed has 20 billion in it. Thats i think a very strong down payment on doing this process over a whole 10year plan that will take that long to rebuild the infrastructure that we need done to help our overall economy. But its about jobs and the economy and quality of life for people. So im in favor of what the president is proposing. My preference is to pay for it ways other than a gas tax. If you talk about a user fee, that means people in electric cars dont wont be paying and it also means that the gas tax right now is used not just for roads and highways and construction and bridges, its also used to pay for transit and other systems and i dont think if you do that, the money ought to be going for things other than actually the repair work for our bridges and roads and highways. Maria you make a good point. Where does the money come from . Were talking about trillion dollar deficits once again after that twoyear budget deal last week that you signed and you voted for. Where does the money come from . I think well see massive Economic Growth and were seeing it right now. Youre seeing the numbers up, the number of people working now that werent working prior, in the last add a medicine adminise President Trump was elected we have over 2 Million People more working. People are working and paying taxes. The workers are paying fewer taxes. 90 of people will see more takehome pay because of lower taxes. The revenue coming in because of the new Economic Growth i think its going to be higher. Maria the growth of 4 is what people are talking about in 2018. Are you worried about inflation that comes along with growth, senator . Thats always part of the discussion. We havent seen it up until this point. Youve seen the markets changing dramatically and youve been reporting on that accurately. But im so supportive of what the president has done in terms of the tax cuts, the regulatory relief, all of these things have contributed to a strong, healthy, growing economy. This president ran and said im going to focus on jobs, the economy, paychecks, prosperity and donald trump is delivering on that. Maria definitely feels that way. Senator, good to see you. Thanks so much. Thanks for having me. Maria still to come, fed up with Silicon Valley, peter teal is leaving San Francisco over intolerance of conservatives. Where hes taking his business to next. What he has to say about the environment right now. And then a new lawsuit for l. L. Bean to tell you about. Why a customers suing the Clothing Company over its beloved return policy. Stay with us.

My analysis of sensor and Maintenance Data indicates elevator 3 will malfunction in 2 days. There you go. You still need a pass. Maria welcome back. An unhappy customer suing l. L. Bean for ending its lifetime return policy. Cheryl casone has the details. Cheryl it was a nice policy while it lasted. Last week the retailer imposed a one year limit for most returns.

It is back up this morning. So the question is why. The answer is south korea. This is the third biggest market in the world for cryptocurrency. In fact, bitcoin a fifth of all those transactions are happening in korea. At first the government said they were considering a ban on cryptocurrencies. That was back in january. Thats when everyone kind of got spooked. Now one of the government officials is saying no, no, no, and this is a quote, were looking at making cryptocurrency trading more transparent. So if thats regulation or some sort of understanding that this quite frankly is a global phenomenon, lets figure out a way to handle it and eventually regulate it.

Reaction to the latest shooting. Just arent words to describe this tragedy i lived in Coral Springs 8 years assigned to miami fbi office two dozen agents or more live in park land Coral Springs because it was one of the safest places south florida a tragedy, i guess what strikes me if ever a case where someone was flashing red, flashing signals that they were about to go off it was this young man, i think, i think there were a lot of opportunities, here, that may have been missed. Maria yeah, that is what we have been talking about. Dagen let me ask you this it is Dagen Mcdowell what could police do Law Enforcement do if this young man had no criminal record . He had been expelled from this high school still in school in Broward County, but what can Law Enforcement do until there is an act of violence . Yeah, it is really difficult. Every school has to have a Risk AssessmentThreat Assessment Team in this day and beginning given 44 is mr. Shootings since columbine high risk situation, probably the greatest risk facing schools need to work hand in hand with police this case young man was expelled they slfb a threat assessment at the school, maybe even a restraining order taken out on this young man he was he presented a very clear present danger to someone, either at school or somewhere else, this is where i think there is a little bit of a breakdown, is the action part of it. They did the expulsion but you the there was not he followup, i dont want to secondguess armchair quarterback but there is a situation where you need to coordinate action between Police Department and schools. Chris, so this is as you know, better than anybody that these incidences individual shooter usually doesnt survive is takes his life or you know, killed by police. So what do you think were going to learn from this individual, as to motives what what will this help in terms of as we go forward we look and how we prevent these things in the future . Yeah, you know someone who does School Security assessments, i am looking for research and Lessons Learned on these events, and really isnt as much out there as you would hope. So in this case we are going to get a a good firsthand look right out of his mouth obviously cooperating with fbi they intier gated him his motivation is important the assault rifle, and you know what how he planned it that sort of thing. The area of security, these are Lessons Learned that conbe put into play. We have learned a lot since columbine we need to learn more. We saw pictures of him with guns on social media so that obviously should have been picked up, i mean, there the school told him dont come back here with a backpack. So they say threats. But didnt do enough about it. Yeah. It should not have been dont come back with a backpack it should have been dont come back here at all. This kid, really did present a danger. To the school, there as i said there should be a Threat Assessment Team or Risk Assessment team at every school we see these as i do security assessments i see them present the action part is missing, in this case, im a strong proponent of armed Security Guards outside whatever you are trying to protect, i have done Security Consulting with banks, it is proven that you can reduce Bank Robberies by placing an armed Security Guard outside the bank, that is a deterrent, you put them inside they are already in there it is not going to deter anyone from coming in so in this case i am not sure where Security Guard was should have been outside. Chris thank you so much thanks for weighing in this morning, issue fbi want to get to scene right now, parkland florida fox news, todd standing by charges filed. 17 counts, of premeditated measured just filed moments ago according to our sources, and the individual 19yearold Nicholas Cruz is expected to be in court, at around 12 30 all this, following a very, very long night into the Early Morning hours, the questioning.

After spending trillions of dollars overseas rebuilding other countries, it is time to rebuild our own kin, and to take care of our citizens the money that weve spent overseas not to mention the middle east where as of two months ago we had spent seven trillion dollars, and yet if we have to fix a road we cant fix it. Maria coming a new fox news poll show americans are in favor of spending more, on things like infrastructure. And national defense, 63 , say that the federalizing should be increasing spending there but 32 approve of a bipartisan Budget Deal Congress passed last friday 44 disapprove of the plan with the additional spending joining me right now former speaker of the house fox night contributor Newt Gingrich thanks so much for joining us. Good to be with you. First talk about infrastructure plan where this money comes from you know we spoken in the past about people saying look the republicans have lost their fiscal responsibility with that budget Discretionary Spending plan last week now weve got another 200 billion looking for for infrastructure. Is the gas tax increase a good idea . I think if dedicated only to infrastructure, it will be acceptable to most americans dont want a general tax increase the bureaucracy, if it is going to mean better bridges better highways i think there will be support for it our infrastructure has decayed, you ride around america you go through some airports, really embarrassing how much we have allowed to it decay. Now the other key part of that is president is proposed very bold very dramatic reforms would really reduce the cost of infrastructure very substantially and accelerate getting built a two part plan where does money come from but also can we fix the system get infrastructure built. Your take on Discretionary Spending bill house passed last week the budget, exactly spoke with Speaker Paul Ryan about it yesterday, and he said it it was needed, because of the needs of the military what is your take newt . Well having served with reagan in 80s i thought a very a regular like move a regular always put National Security first, Economic Growth second, and the deficit third. You go back look he was dealing with democrats in the house for example where they mad a majority, and functionally we dont have a real republican majority in the senate, because you need 60 votes to pass things, so the fact is you have to have something against democrats means more spending than you want what a regular would have done, just wrote my newsletter, gingrich production published at foxnews. Com pointing out get to balanced budget we know how to do it i helped balance budget you four straight years only speaker in history to do that i think the particular bill at this time was the right thing to do and paul ryan is correct. Maria but your contract with america, your you know, dealing with bill clinton, that was a different moment. You you actually talked to your colleagues on the other side, you went out for coffee, i mean there is so much vitriol between two sides, today, very different than when were you speaker about. Sure that just means you have to design new strategies key said the key you had to have American People on your side, he used to say his job was to turn up the light for the American People, so they would turn up heat on congress. Maria yeah. And i think, still in same business, you know, if we were if we design for example, the right work fair program at 95 approval when we did it in 1995, you are going to have democrats in places like missouri, and indiana under enormous pressure to vote for it may well pass dr. Very dramatic he raermz if American People concluded you are right. Listen to what paul ryan told me when i asked if he is going to be around to hear the fruits of labor after successful year in terms of tax reform i asked him if he is going to stay, speaker of the house after november listen to this. My wife and i have that conversation in the spring of every election we are we havent had that yet we will if i go out then. So you are not sure if you are staying. I havent it is something i do every term this is tenth term i have been in congress 10 years jan and i the a cycle Decision Making progress we go through that is something we are going to do like we do every term down the road i feel really good where we are proud of the work we have done i really think we put not just House Republicans in a good position buttive we put the country in a good position. Maria and he did, he has done a good job if saying he would have said it dont you think . Not necessarily, i think paul ryan tells you what he really feels one of the things makes him so attractive he doesnt have to be speaker of the house he doesnt have to be center of things i i think he has more fun, back in janesville taking kids he deer hunting going out not compelled to play the game, my guess is in the end he will run again, but i also think what he says is real they are going to stop at some point in the spring going to look at it together, going to decide for their family, and he could go either way i hope he will stay, i think will become very effective really learn the business, i also respect row much kofshl being paul ryan in jamesville. Newt gingrich there we will be right back with ppi number. Producer price index month over month in line 4 10 of a percent Producer Price index hitting table january ppi pretty much in line although the yearoveryear number is a little hotter than you would like not seeing reaction in terms of of markets we saw yesterday when cpi was out markets on track for 5th day of gains futures pointing to rally open of trading Dagen Mcdowell we focused on inflation yesterday with cpi now ppi out your reaction, to this number. Dagen you dont see markets shaken certainly stock market by what is going on in the inflation picture, yesterday, different story, ultimately, stocks rallied, were able to ignore the hotter inflation that we saw in Consumer Prices but you did see bonds, yields across all treasurer for the most part hitting multiyear highs at least testing levels 3. 16 on 30 year bond yesterday, so again, we talk about stocks but you have to be careful if you are long treasurys in this environment because you are suffering principal losses on some securities, if you are not careful. I think that is story, if Interest Rates get significantly higher going to force Federal Reserve hand to hike Interest Rates more than expected, and that will ultimately be bad for stocks. I would love to see 10 year right now too in reaction to this but great to see at the the market regards to this number later today going to get jobless claims weve got industrial production, industrial economy here in u. S. Has been very strong expansionary territory quite sometime now that iss very good but the underpinning of this economy remains strong even if inflation picking up supposed to pick up as the economy improves. Dagen one thing we need to hit home the wall street journal does it today, in editorial, essentially telling jay powell not to make same mistake of bernard mcguirkey and Alan Greenspan hiking rates to passively if you will or too timidly but you have people who are have wage gains, the economy is in better shape in good shape, peoples wages rising but if inflation startings picking up eats into what they take home it hurts individuals, in britain they tolerated inflation to point now above 3 had political ramifications. Gasoline health care two drivers of this ppi report dagen, paul ryan told us the other day, Health Care Costs move much faster than veef inflation entitlements wringdz in some growth spending critical. One of the reasons why i dont think politicians maybe even in my lifetime will do anything to tackle medicare it false on washington to decide what medical treatments get paid for what the government is going to pay for something. That is why it is such a difficult, to paul ryan credit he said this, they do they do deserve some proper respect, for trying to reform medicaid, they passed last year, and few people in senate gave it a thumbsdown, so that is what they need arms around this we also got a good philadelphia Federal Reserve report here lindsey you do have evidence that this backdrop, for this market is very much in place, in terms of Economic Growth better than expected. Market trying to figure out in a low growth period for so long that market is trying to figure out how do we react to this moving into higher levels of growth, while Interest Rates are going up a lot of unwinding Balance Sheet a lot going on here environment we have never been in. But you know, in early stage as like this i think a good thing. You were saying before everybody is optimistic like going going up then should they be there this in bridle enthusiasm after we just had january we just had . Well, i know, i agree with you come placency sigh wouldnt down a percent, a huge concern, complacency live. Earnings growth from 2018, 4 potential Economic Growth, to gdp okay, come plac placency is there. The not you know, cfra we dont expect derailment on economy causes recessions, not causes bear markets excuse me. This is longest expansion we have seen, i think. Dagen this is best bull market run for the s p postwar era even, by january, the s p had gone up more than 300 , even beat the bull market during 1990s, during the creation of the internet. Hard to beat. Dagen creation of the internet so i think the reason you have volatility coming back the reason that you have nervousness discrepancyism coming back we are so far into expansion and bull market. You have Consumer Optimism confidence there, a lot of the Small Companies and main street and individuals are not investing in the markets, really it is so much more you institutional the question. Dagen i have got to stop you more than 100 billion dollars went into global equities, equity funds. Maria retail investors. Dagen more than a hundred billion. Usually contrary indicator retail, last investors last. Maria i dont know if true the anymore investors armed with so much information smarter than Mainstream Media give credit for i dont believe shoeshine story anymore in terms of average investor being stupid i didnt buy it. Dagen i do believe stupidity about the bitcoin tweet nasty things to me all you want people trying to get rich quick on these it never works. Thankfully not intertwined. 17 People Killed yesterday, a dozen others injured after a teenager a gunman stormed the high school, this is his former high school alleged shooter Nicholas Cruz, there he is, charged, with 17 counts of premeditated you murder. Former nfl star jack brewer thank you for joining us i know this is hard for you where you grew up. Well i didnt grow up here i have been here for about five years now. Maria ask you live there now. Live here now, my kids go to school, you know a community that you know i promised you i coach right in backyard where this thing happened, my house is just blocks away, i was just so sad, tragic to think that today in america, already been 18 of these School Shootings, in 45 days into the year, i mean some point we got to do something about this, i mean, i am almost i am trembling in last night, you know so somber laying head down thinking about parents lost kids that were going to school in United States of america and i think we put so much attention now on Opioid Crisis we got to continue to do, but weve got to start protected schools, you cant go to any place where you have, 3200 people gathering in one building one location, that you dont have a highly secured so a there are so many issues, and you look at you know people talk about gun control all they want we got to stop letting 18yearold kids get access to gins you should not be able to buy guns until at least a sound mind, to be able to make those type of decisions so many issues, maria i am telling you my heart just goes out to parents, and i hope some point this nation can really come together, because, we have we have a major cries at hanz right now. Maria when we were talking yesterday you were telling me you had friends that their kids were stuck in closets or hiding when you and i were talking on twitter yesterday or texting, did you know anybody about who has been directly affected by this horrific act we know first victim heroic football coach. Yeah, i mean none of my friends kids hurt they all got out of the school yeah i mean talking to them real time with kids stuck in the closets, at the school, and just terrible to think that you know in this day and age, dealing with this type of crisis we have become immune to this we dont cover it as much anywhere, i didnt realize that 18 schools had this happen to them until yesterday. So we just all got to take a step back here, and in our country, whether in time unfortunately you see the Public School systems the ones being hit never even happened in private school, and so we really got issues to take on Public School system. Dagen there is a gun control Advocacy Group it is a not for profit jack that tracks School Shootings, and after this is after just since sandy hook which was in 2012 more than 413 people shot at 273 School Shootings in this country, 273 most not Mass Shootings but, nonetheless, you are absolutely right, i when it comes to people taking guns, into a school. And i mean this this is this first graders sandy hook, they see people who lost lives virginia tech, where an individual two handguns murdered many. Cant we cant we as a nation i mean cant we as a nation take a stand they see are our kids how much would it really cost to have Armed Security . We got military retirees need jobs need things to do.
