legislation signed by president trump backing the pro democracy protesters in hong kong stalled progress on a deal. cheryl: anti-government protests continue in hong kong and some of them again turning violent. thousands of demonstrators faced off against police yesterday who fired tear gas a after they were attacked with bricks and smoke bombs. more marchmarches were held elsn the city. more than a quarter of multinational firms have not developed p contingency plans if the trade war takes a turn for the worst. in a few hours president trump will leave for london to participate in a two-day summit celebrating the 70th anniversary of the nato alliance. he's expected to meet with several allies including france's president and germany's chancellor. the president is not expected to meet with british prime minister boris johnson ahead of that country's elections.

the hearings, writing we cannot be expected to participate in a hearing while the witnesses are yet to be named and while it remains unclear whether the judiciary committee will afford the president a fair process through add decision nail hearings. but -- through additional hearings. the effort failed to garner support from republicans. >> it's clear there is none of the bipartisan support that speaker pelosi said for months wag essential to impeachment. >> jo our job is to follow the facts, you apply the law, be guided by the u.s. constitution and present the truth to the american people no matter where it leads because no one is above the law. >> reporter: republicans on the judiciary committee are calling for intel committee chairman adam schiff to appear before them. >> it's easy to hide behind a report. it's easy to hide behind closed door hearings. it's another thing to answer questions about what is happening and what he knew about the whistleblower report. >> reporter: it's unclear if schiff would appear.

we expect four legal experts to appear on wednesday, discussing whether this case rises to the level of impeachment. it's far from over. lauren and cheryl. cheryl: griff jenkins, thank you very much. let's move on to the ex-fbi lawyer who sent anti-trump text messages to her department colleague. lisa page spoke to the daily beast in her first interview in two years. she said when the president accuses you of treason by name, despite the fact that i know there's no way i committed any crime at all, he is in a position to do something about that, trying to further destroy my life, end quote. she spent hundreds of text messages to peter strzok. they allegedly had an affair. she served on robert mueller's team before she resigned in 2018. lauren: let's get to some other headlines making news this monday. at least 20 people are dead in mexico following a two-day gun battle between cartel members

and mexican security forces. the violence unfolded in a town an hour away from the texas border. officials say members of the northeast cartel opened fire saturday on government offices. it was just last week that president trump announced plans to declare mexico's cartel groups foreign tear electricity organizations -- terrorist organizations. saudi arabia wants and extension of oil production cuts through next june. persian gulf officials say if the request is granted it would prop up saudi aramco's ipo, the share price for the ipo. there is growing unrest in the middle east. aramco is set to announce pricing of its shares on thursday ahead of the $25 billion stock market debut. costco not re-vealin -- reveling on the influx of online shopping. the website went down for 16 hours on thanksgiving thursday. according to data analyzed by

the overnight hours, temperatures are going to drop and we will see the potential for significant snow, especially north and west of the city. so there's our transitioning low. this is 4:00 a.m. tuesday, eventually moving offshore on tuesday afternoon. but we're still going to see quite a bit of snow, especially north and west of new york and in towards new england. additional snow totals, some of these computer models differ, especially when you look at boston, anywhere from 9 to 3 inches, new york city we think 2 inches for you, 2, 3 inches and upstate new york we'll see the big jackpot snow toes tails. ladies -- totals. ladies, be prepared, there will be delays and cancellations. lauren: almost 500 flights have been canceled today so far, it's only 5:00 in the morning. 5,000 flights have been delayed. this is during american airline's busiest weekend of the

year. cheryl: cyber monday on track to break records. they're predicting $9.4 billion in sales, the most ever for a single day of online shopping, on the heels of a record black friday. there was also a staggering 6.2% drop from tradition l naial brid mortar sales. is black friday as we know it maybe going away? let's bring in chief research officer of h squared research. what's your biggest take-away from the fact there is more online shopping, less brick and mortar shopping. >> you'll see most of the shopping was taking place on laptops and smartphones. about $24 billion was spent just on your smartphone alone. which makes sense. people don't necessarily want to get off their sofas, get into their car and go shopping. you don't necessarily have to. you can sit where you are and shop from the dining table, shop

from your sew sofa or your card maybe going to the grocery store. cheryl: you say millennials and boomers, we're seeing a divergence between the two groups. >> we have this concept of okay, boomer, permeating social media. it really makes sense. not only just millennials, but gen-zs said they want more personalized shopping experience. and about 70% of gen-zs and 67% of millennials are looking on social media to find their products. cheryl: interesting. like instagram and facebook. >> exactly. social media is perpetuating the sales online. cheryl: that's interesting. let's talk about the busiest shopping day that's are coming, eight of the 10 bit yeast 10 but shopping days are -- busiest shopping days are still to come. do you think overall we'll see more spending? it looks like the economy is

strong so far. >> that's interesting. the sales have been starting since november 1st. if you think about it, it started in july when you had amazon's prime day and christmas in july. so the consumer has really had a real ramp-up to the spending time. with that said, there are so many promotions and retailers are hitting consumers so hard. if you look at the retailers, they have spent so much capital expenditure in beefing up the ability to shop online. so if you think about how much walmart has spent with acyo acquisitions and jet, just to make sure the customer will stay on their site and shop and take market share away from amazon, so many combined with that and these other tent pole events like the saturday -- super saturday, the saturday before christmas, that's coming up, it's a shorter shopping time so retailers are pushing that. cheryl: walmart and target have changed their online game in a good way. target said they don't want to lay off people but they're

rejiggering what the employees do, focused on stocking shelves overnight and during the day fulfilling online orders. that's interesting to me, that this is changing the job picture as well. >> yes, not only is the job picture changing, but they're also getting the consumer to help with that aspect of it. what i mean by that is that if you go online, it's not just free shipping on target but they will give you another discount if you buy online and then pick up in the stores. sthat's a job generation right there. target is fueling or sort of the back end behind toys r us. so you saw the toys r us launch in new jersey, in texas. target is the one that is fulfilling the online orders for that. so that is another aspect of target that's really kind of getting that consumer to come in, shop online and then pick up in their stores. cheryl: small business saturday, $3.6 billion in online. i'm wondering if that goes back to the social media part of this. >> completely. a lot of the small businesses

are advertising hard on instagram as well as facebook and of course twitter. instagram is the one that's fueling that. cheryl: thank you so much for being here. and this segment goes to our question of the day, does cyber monday have better deals than black friday? it is cyber monday so think about it sen. send us your thoughts. lauren: coming into work this morning, i might have done some shopping. let's take a look at the great deals on wall street, up arrows, dow surging 110 points, s&p up 12, nasdaq up 30. coming up, president trump's economy keeps breaking records and filling wallets, now it could help decide the 2020 election as battle ground states see the best income growth in almost 30 years. amazon under fire over this christmas ornament. the outrage when "fbn: a.m." turns. ♪ she ain't into wine and roses.

lauren: the s&p 500 up 25% this year, could be the best year in six years and history says the good times can continue in 2020. joining us now is fox business contributor, jonas. the good times continue in 2020 is because an incumbent, donald trump is running for re-election and history shows that's usually the case, you he se set yourselp for a good year the following year. >> i don't know if there's enough history to make predictions. that said, the market is up because it doesn't think the tax cuts are going away. if the market thought the

corporate tax rates were going back to where they were, the market would be going down. it looked like it was last year but right now it's strong. it means in all likelihood the market sees no reason for the president not to get reelected. lauren: you're putting this on tax cuts over interest rates. >> i don't think the stock market's history is a predicter. lauren: you don't buy it. but the history shows the dow gains on average 10% when an incumbent faces re-election versus down 1.6% in an election year where there's an open field. so there, just giving our viewers the numbers. looking at 2020, i've seen all sorts of year-end targets for the s&p 500. at the high end, 3425, at the low end, a decline to 3,000. so says morgan stanley. where do you see the s&p 500 at the end of 2020. >> i think it will be lower than right now. i think we went up way too much off the crash late last year. we need to earn it with better earnings or it will slip back

again. lauren: the trade war is pinching that. bloomberg looked at personal income and found that personal income has grown in several of the key batter ground states -- battleground states, pennsylvania for instance. does that help the president? >> yeah, i think the trade war also helped the stock market because the trade war led to rates going lower which boosted stocks. the negative effects of the trade war are not as strong as the positive effects of low rates and i think even the fed was concerned that rates were getting too high, given the drag in the trade war. the local economies that are doing well, they need a strong economy and they have one because it also disguises the slightly negative effects of the trade war. a lot of the communities in those states are the areas that have to deal with export problems to china but the market's so hot, there's an interesting article in the wall street journal about this a couple daysing with where there's lots of jobs to be had so people aren't that concerned, even though their businesses are

taking a hit because of the policies of the president they voted for, they'll vote for him again. it would probably not be like that if we had 6% unemployment, serious layoffs in farming, then it would be what have we got ourselves into here. so i think it's good for the president. lauren: we look at thanksgiving weekend and spending, about $30 billion. so the consumer, because of the personal income gains, the low interest rates, the consumer is strong. >> yeah, the consumer is more optimistic than businesses. businesses got nervous about the trade war and cut back a little. consumers don't see the trade war as something that is worth cutting back on spending when there's a great sale to be had. i don't think consumers get nervous unless they see the stock market tank. they cut back a little last year because they have a little thing where like if the market's down a lot, something's bad. that happened in 2000, 2007. if you saw a 50% decline in stocks, people are going to panic, lead to high unemployment. lauren: did you see the

irishman and will it help netflix's stock because jp morgan said it will. >> i'm pretty sure jp morgan won't say a movie financed by debt is a bad idea. this company sold this year to finance a $150 million deal. i don't see the mentality here except for one thing. the typical plan with these high debt -- there's a lot -- they do a series. this is a one time thing. netflix does not have a big -- this thing is boomer central, old people playing young people, it's not very believable. it looks like a an instagram filter on rober rob deniro. cheryl: the writers guild of america is preparing to strike as the current contract is set

contained nicotine. one kid is putting president trump to the test, putting his money where his mouth is. wait until you see this kid and this story, that's coming up on "fbn: a.m." ♪ i ain't no holla back girl

lauren: here's your morning cheat sheet, the top headlines to get through the day. cyber monday is underway. today's shopping frenzy is expected to be the biggest ever with sales likely to reach almost $10 billion. right now, a deadly winter storm is hammering the northeast. snow, sleet and rain moving up the coast after pummeling several states, leaving seven people dead, nearly 500 flights canceled this morning. in just a few hours, president trump will leave for london to participate in a two-day summit celebrating the 70th anniversary of the nato alliance. the president is expected to meet with several allies including france's president and germany chancellor. cheryl: e-cigarettes are making alarming headlines across the country.

so far, there have been 47 vaping related deaths and 2,290 vaping related illnesses reported in the u.s. alone. many of the cases involve teenagers and our next guest says she is, well, one of them. bailey says she suffers from migraines and breathing problems since she used juul. she said when she started using juul, she didn't know the mango flavor she was puffing on had nicotine and the packaging had no warning that it did. bailey and her attorney jeffrey haberman join us now. guys, good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: thank you for coming on to tell us your story. what got you hooked on e-cigarettes? >> well, like any kid, we're easily impressionable. if everyone's doing so, we're going to go ahead and do it. it was just advertised everywhere around me, everyone had one, so it was kind of decembedestined.

cheryl: when did the migraines start? >> about a year ago now, maybe a little less, a little more. cheryl: do you still vape or did you let it go? >> yes, i do, unfortunately. cheryl: you're still vaping? >> yes. cheryl: obviously juul has been responding, the company, to all of these claims especially the big new york times investigation where they spoke with bailey. you say that they need to be held accountable for what they've done to teenagers. tell us what you're planning and how bailey play intuse this. >> sure. that's exactly right. juul is and phillip morris and altria are responsible for the epidemic of youth nicotine addiction with the sale of e-cigarettes that's popularized by juul. the government thinks that nicotine addiction among youth is an epidemic. it's incredibly dangerous for our country's young people to be addicted to a nicotine delivery

device which is a drug, a drug and an addiction that's as powerful of an addiction as cocaine and heroin. so it's important to get the message out to young people that this is dangerous, that the product is defective, and we seek to hold the powerful to account for their misdeeds and so our firm in fort lauderdale, florida, we filed lawsuits on behalf of teenagers and young people who are addicted to and have been injured by juul and bailey is one of those young persons who has a nicotine addiction which is a disease and it's very powerful. you asked whether she still vapes and she unfortunately still does, she still uses juul because she's ad indicted to juul. she -- addicted to juul. she uses it when she wakes up and when she goes to sleep at night. each pod of juul is one and-a-half to two packs of

cigarettes. cheryl: bailey, i was looking at the numbers, 3.62 million middle and high school kids were e-cigarette users in 2018. what makes it so cool to you and your friends? >> well, for us, it was the flavors. we loved the whole -- it doesn't take like a cigarette. nobody knew if it was a cigarette or what it was. mango, you're not going to find a box of cigarettes that taste like mango. cheryl: what did your parents say about all this, when they saw you were using the e-cigarettes. did they try to stop you or talk to you about snit. >> of -- about it. >> of course. it was first they didn't know. it's so easily disguised. it looks like a usb. they would find it and ask to questions about it because they had no clue that it was something we were using to smoke. but eventually they found out. but they found out a little too late.

i was already hooked on them. cheryl: i certainly hope that you feel better, i know that this is something that you didn't plan on having as problem in your life. keep us posted on your progress and jeff, keep us posted on the lawsuit. >> thank you so much. cheryl: thanks, guys. appreciate it. lauren: well, shopping high did not end on black friday. thousands of people lining up to buy marijuana on the first day of recreational sales in the state of michigan. some waiting seven hours to get inside one of the three pot stores in the state. michigan is the tenth state to legalize recreational marijuana in the u.s. take a look at this kid. president trump is known for eating fast food but this kid has an idea to change that. a cash donation to veterans. a fourth grader from florida pledging to donate $1 million to veterans organization ifs the president goes vegan for the month of january. if he doesn't, well, the money goes down the drain. no word yet on a response from president trump. cheryl: the kid also goes so, mr. president, do we have a

deal? lauren: do you think the president's going to answer him? i kind of have a feeling he will. coming up, joe biden hitting the campaign trail in iowa amid questions about his campaign's strength and bizarre incident over the weekend. and the tesla cyber truck has quickly become an internet sensation but the latest mash-up might be the best yet. keep it here on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ papa don't preach, i've been losing sleep. ♪ but i made up my mind, i'm -- here's to the straggly ones. the itchy ones. the black, brown, red, and grey ones. the ones grown by dad. the ones grown for dad.

lauren: democratic presidential can p date joe biden kicked off -- candidate joe biden kicked off a tour over the weekend, he will go to 18 counties across the state of iowa as he tries to appeal to voters amid slumping polls that threaten to derail his national polling tour. this comes as joe biden went viral this weekend when he was caught anybod nibbling on his ws finger on-stage during a campaign stop. thank you for joining us. rashad, you first, nibbling on his wife's finger o on-stage, another awkward moment for biden? >> yeah, but it does not calculate to the awkward moments trump had when he ran for president or while he's been president. this is not material to his candidacy. is it a weird joe biden moment? yep. does it matter on the campaign

trail? not really. and his polling numbers have not been affected. it has nothing to do with his policy. i think that's what the american people actually care for. what does joe biden stand for and is he willing to articulate their agenda while being president of the united states. lauren: a no m no malarkey tou? does that resonate with young voters that he needs? >> it might do great with the older set of the electorate. what joe biden has to do is stop the hemorrhaging of polling in places like iowa and a ne new hampshire where he's in fourth or fifth place in the polls. the problem with all of these, whether you want to call them gaffes or the finger sucking and sniffing, talking about little kids touching his leg hair in pools, it's not about the substance of his argument but what it does show is that he's out of touch with where a modern america is and it lessens his

appeal and undermines his core message. he has real problems. he's not winning iowa. what he has to do is come in the top two or three so the narrative coming out of iowa is not that he's a major loser. hillary.lauren: he is winning nationally. if we pull this up, he's at 27%, bernie sanders at 18%, elizabeth warren at 15. mayor pete buttigieg at 11%. joe biden seems to not be concerned with mayor pete, but should he be? >> he doesn't need to win iowa as your guest says. iowa has 49 delegates, 41 are pledged which means you have to earn them. there's a 15% threshold in how the caucus is done. he will meet that 15% threshold which means he leaves out of iowa with actual delegates. he doesn't have to win iowa. he just has to do well. places like georgia, where you have 125 delegates, and other places, southern states where he

will absolutely top within number one or number two, those are places where he's going to rack up on the delegate count. lauren: should he worry about mayor pete? >> not nationally, according to the polling data. iowa is going for mayor pete because he spent $870,000 on a campaign buy and then that poll was taken two days after the campaign buy. so you're seeing the effect of that particular ad purchase which rightfully so, he did a good job, making sure he spent a lot of money in iowa. biden hasn't spent that kind of money in iowa. he's not trying to win iowa. he's trying to finish strong. >> biden doesn't have that kind of money to spend in iowa. as of last quarter, biden was headed towards the bankruptcy column. he has to be careful where he spends money. the issue right now is it's not that biden isn't going to win electors out of eye ya way.

iowa. it's a question of momentum. the narrative of momentum can halt you as you think you go into your firewalls in the south. lauren: typically we see the candidates who do well in the first states to caucus kind of get that momentum. but then have you a candidate like mayor mik mike bloomberg ws going to skip the first round of contests and see how i do. amy klobuchar attacked him over the weekend. she said i don't like his mentality that he can just buy his way in because he doesn't think the field of candidates is good enough. she was insulted you by that. what do you sunshine. >> welcome american democracy. he has the right to do it the way he's doing it. he's going to get slaughtered on the debate stage if he gets in at this point. let's be clear. his company since inception in

1981, bloomberg lp, has been riddled with lawsuits. the last lawsuit was in october. the culture according to the suits is there's age discrimination and gender bias. that will weaken his campaign if he doesn't figure out a way to articulate an answer to the longevity of legal suits that have been launched against him since the early '80s. lauren: john, let me let you wrap this up for us. >> the super tuesday only strategy hasn't ever worked before. doesn't mean it can't work because bloomberg does have resources. but to your guest's point, if you simply think you're going to try to buy this election and you can avoid reporter inters views, you're not going to address me too allegations, that narrative can backfire and undermine your paid advertising campaign and this might be the gift that an elizabeth warren and bernie sanders have been hoping for because they've been wanting to run against big banks and wall street and they've finally got it. lauren: thanks for the time. >> thank you.
