following last week's air strike. now there's a new threat for our service members coming from the daughter of iranian general qasem soleimani. here to talk more about this, former marine captain, thank you for joining us. what does retaliation look like? >> the most likely course is going to be in the region. iran has global capabilities, it certainly has committed terrorist attacks and struck targets around the world, in argentina, asia, all kinds of places. the nature of the escalation, i don't think an attack on american soil is likely. the most obvious and easiest answer for the iranians is to strike american forces in the region, particularly iraq. lauren: what about nuclear. iran said they would abandon whatever they were keeping of the abandoned 2015 nuclear deal. >> they haven't abandoned it entirely. the europeans and other people could come in and try to salvage that. but they're increasing

enrichment and working towards that capability at least that's the stated intention of. that's down the road a little bit. the immediate concern is what the iranians could do to american forces in the region and how vulnerable u.s. troops are, especially in iraq. lauren: iraq called for the ejection of u.s. troops in the country. how disastrous would be for the rise of isis? >> i don't have a crystal ball. i can't predict the long-term consequences. in the short term, i'd use the reagan rule, are you better off today than you were before. you look at what happened in the wake of the strike. the iraqi parliament voted to eject u.s. troops. we've got the state department telling americans to he get out of iraq. we have iran issuing threats in the region. all of this, the short-term consequences are certainly disastrous. lauren: how disastrous? where does this all go?

>> that's the million dollar question. i think the respectable kind of quote, unquote, serious opinion in dc is the risk of a larger war is not that high, that's sort of th the consensus. neither country wants a war. there's plenty of times in history where neither country wanted a war and they stumbled into one. the risk of a larger and existential war for the iranians is there. and then all bets are off. lauren: thank you four joinings us today. cheryl: the tensions in the middle east are you affecting our markets here. futures are down once again today on worries about what's happening with iran, iraq and the united states. the dow is down 163, s&p down 18 and three quarters, nasdaq down 62. well, still ahead, golden globes host rickey gervais not just taking on hollywood's elite last night. >> actress rolled into the tv game about the importance of dignity and doing the right

cheryl: as congress returns to capitol hill, impeachment proceedings remain stalled while white house democrats refuse to hand over the articles of impeachment to the senate. lindsey graham was on sunday morning futures and he talked about it. >> we're not going to let nancy pelosi use the rules of the senate to her advantage. so what i would do, if she continues to refuse to send the articles as required by the constitution, i would work with senator mcconnell to change the rules of the senate so we could start the trial without her if necessary. cheryl: how and when is the senate going to be able to move forward with trump's impeachment trial and what are the logistics of all this, let's bring in trial attorney misty maris. we're talking about the constitution of the united states. >> right. cheryl: and now you've got lindsey graham saying that maybe they change the rules to where they take pelosi out of the

process. but this could be i'm assuming not just a congressional battle but the legal battle at the end of the day. >> absolutely. i think we're going to see a lot of legal battles spurring out of what we have now which is this congressional battle. this week if nancy pelosi moves forwards and sends the articles, the whole thing will be moot. what's interesting about it, democrats are saying on one hand this is so time sensitive, they're in federal court making arguments about we need this decision quickly, this is critical, the timing, the timing. on the other hand, stalling. so it's like which way is it, which way is it really, really can't have it both ways. cheryl: talking about changing the senate rules, which is a little i think for the future of the country, the constitution, the congress and how we operate as a fair government is a little disconsistent disconcerting. >> it's interesting to think about what's going to happen next, that will be the new rule. cheryl: another big legal story, harvey weinstein, he begins his trial this week. it's expected to be at least two

months. he could spend his life in prison. he he's charged with five counts, two of which are rape. what is your expectation for this trial? >> this is going to be a crazy trial, cheryl. we will be covering this day in and day out. right now, today, the ground rules are going to be set, we'll be talking about timing. the next two weeks, jury selection. and in a case like this where you have such a high profile defendant, jury selection is going to be a beast. that's going to be a huge undertaking for both sides. so that's something we're going to keep our eye on. then as the trial starts, i think the most dramatic moments are going to be the cross-examination of the victims and the three others who have been called in to testify as witnesses. cheryl: some of which are celebrities. i want to ask about lori loughlin, speaking of celebrities. there are reports that she hired a prison consultant, a coach to help her prepare for possibly spending a long time in jail. i think she could spend months in jail, if convicted on these

charges. >> if she's convicted or if she gets a plea, i think the reality is she -- back to reality. it's a real possibility that she might spend time behind bars and it seems like she's trying to get a feel for what that might be like using that resource of a coach. but, look, i think that's it, cheryl. she's realizing when you see plea deals coming down, you're not getting off yo off without l time. cheryl: they're not messing around. they put harsh sentences on people. thank you very much. i'm sure you'll be back to cover a lot of this stuff. lauren: we have new details coming in detailing the death of jeffrey epstein. there were nooses made from bed sheets and bottles of prescription pills. no images were taken of epstein in his cell after his death. rumors regarding his death have circulated, bolstered by an independent examiner who disputes the opinion that epstein died by suicide. cheryl: when it comes to the

now have their first brick in the wall of worry for 2020. but how concerned should investors be? we ask david nelson, chief strategist with bell point asset management. good morning. stocks down 233 friday, down again this morning by 175. is this a buying opportunity? >> i think you've got to step back and ask yourself is this an economic event. it likely is not. i don't think a company like lululemon is going to change the sales forecast due to the geopolitical concerns taking place 7,000 miles away. i think you're going to turn to energy, it's the focus, touches every fabric of the economy. it's a different era at this point. opec is a cartel-like structure, no longer exists. the united states is largely energy independent. i think the knee jerk reaction is to sell stocks by cooler heads will prevail as the week unfolds. lauren: oil prices are rising a little bit. that's actually not a boone for

saudi aramco. on sunday, their share price fell 1.7%, down again today. you know, what risk is this for investors, that investing this part of the world, this is what could happen. >> i think what this is about is this was an egregiously overpriced ipo when it first came out. they came out at $1.7 trillion. most analysts thought it was worth half that. i think this will settle out over time before it's an investable bottom. this is a liquid at this event. they're -- liquid a liquidity er them. lauren: a big week for economic data, particularly the december jobs report which comes out on friday. your expectations? november was a stellar number. december not expected to be as big. >> it's expected to be 155,000. this late in the cycle, i would expect that to level off. the consumer largely led the economy at this point. if there's going to be a wrinkle, i would be looking at

thursday's claims numbers, where you'll likely see the first wrinkle. right now, the economy is very strong. the consumer's very strong. they're a big part of it. the numbers have to hold. lauren: david nelson, thanks for the time. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: we have a lot more coming up. from washington to hollywood, the left condemning president trump for taking down qasem soleimani. wait until you hear what a lot of these folks had to say. coming up next, we're going to talk to a national security expert and u.s. army vet on what she thinks of all these comments. and a pricey picasso for pennies, how you can get your paws on a piece of art history. you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ products i helped develop was a softer, more secure diaper closure. as a mom, i knew it had to work. there were babies involved... and they weren't saying much.

so there's a sense activity towards targeting cultural sites. cheryl: the president said there's 52 sites we're going to go after in iran, that's where the war crimes act could become an issue. >> i would prefer he leave those targets alone. we should make decisions to avoid war. targets, i would keep cultural sites out of it. cheryl: the talk of war has americans up in arms. second pompeo was on with maria bartiromo yesterday and he talked about that. i want you to listen to this and react on the other side. >> we think there's a likelihood that iran will make a mistake and make a decision to go after some of our forces, whether military forces in iraq or -- cheryl: we had a technical issue there. he was saying, look, the decision to do this was not taken lightly, that there was concerns about his actions, we don't know what the intelligence

is but this was something that was necessary to do and we will protect our country, we will protect the united states. >> it was such a high risk decision, i would have sought congressional consensus so it was fully calculated, making sure that this is what we're doing, so that it doesn't come off controversial. unfortunately, that did not happen. so you know, with this type of decision, especially when you have americans that are in close proximity, it's a very high risk decision in terms of proximity. so i would have definitely sought congressional approval or congressional consultation. cheryl: he tweeted over the weekend he was going to use social media to put them on notice. i have a feeling you're going to tell me that wasn't enough, there needs to be more a more formal process. >> absolutely. the decision making is high risk. it's better we seek consultation from congress. cheryl: how worried about iran's reaction.

>> i'm very worried. esmail ghanni is commander of the regional forces, the forces that are affiliated with hezbollah and a lot of the terrorist groups. so he had full control of that and in retaliation that could be a regional he blow for so many hot spots in the middle east right now. cheryl: final thought on where we go here, because there's a lot of nervous investors this morning that are worried about us going to war. do you think that's premature to have that conversation? >> well, you know, looking at it right now, we should avoid war as much as possible, use any type of tools, whether it's diplomacy to avoid that. but it is definitely something we should worry about. we have a lot of american front-liners there. the proximity is what concerns me as far as iran and baghdad and we have a lot of american troops there. cheryl: keeping our thousands of troops out of danger. >> yes. cheryl: thank you very much for being on this morning. great to have you in new york. lauren: investors are nervous, they're buying gold, oil prices continue to rise.

your plans accordingly. this system exits, we watch the next one tomorrow a afternoon and another one moves into the west coast. that's going to bring heavy rain along the coast and he snow in the forecast over the next several days. the center of the country looks really good right now. 46 in kansas city, 39 in chicago with mostly sunny skies. we get mostly sunny skies in new york city and by the weekend it's going to feel like springtime across the northeast. so a quick reminder that snow can happen and it also can be like very spring-like. lauren: it's how people get sick. janice: that's true. take vitamin c and don't ride a bull by the horns. lauren: janice dean, we love you. have a great day. janice: bye. cheryl: good job, janice. coming up, how a classroom initiative to help cancer patients is now in the national spotlight. we've got the inspirational story coming up next on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ the best is yet to come, come

cheryl: cancer diagnosis is devastating for anybody, but especially if you're young. rob matar was diagnosed with cancer as a junior in high school. his friends rallied around him and started the student movement against cancer to help fight back. lauren: joining us now, the co-founders, david and rob of.

good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. lauren: this is a long time ago, rob. you go got cancer as a junior in high school. i can't imagine what that felt like at at that time in your life. you got a warm reception from your friend. >> it certainly did it. it made matters complicated for a junior in high school. in tend, it was a -- in the end, it was a positive outcome, thanks to a great group of friends. cheryl: david, you were one of those friends. you shaved your heads, started doing fund raisers. what motivated you to help your friend? >> when we heard about the diagnosis, we were afraid. you hear cancer, it's hard to know what that means. so we just wanted to do something. together, we kind of -- we figured out different ways we can make a difference and it was my 17th birthday and rob came back from treatment and we all decided to shave our heads together so that he felt like he wasn't alone.

lauren: you did a lot more than that, didn't you? >> we realized we were onto something, that more people wanted to do something to make a difference so we started a club, the club became the largest in the high school and then we incorporated it and made it an actual organization. cheryl: rob, you're feeling good. you're now at morgan stanley, the finance world. what is the goal, what do you want to see happen with your charity. >> we're undertaking a national inception. since the inception in 2001, it has grown on a grass roots basis so there's 18 chapters that exist today. most of which have been started, they've been self initiatives at a local level from people that heard about smack and now we want to provide the framework and the guidance such that we can take this national. we have our launch, our first launch event next weekend in new jersey to really tell this message a, to certainly acknowledge all the efforts of those that have taken the bull by the horns and helped us get to the stage.

now we have our eyes set on creating the format that this could be in schools across the country. lauren: what's it like to be a young person and living with the fear that it could happen again to you? >> i don't think you can worry about what's out of your control. i think i learned that in life. but certainly it puts things into perspective, you know. it's certainly a terrible thing to have been diagnosed with cancer and to go through it. i don't wish it upon anybody. but i think if you speak to survivors, i think it certainly puts life into perspective and it teaches you what's important. certainly, this has taught me that friendship is very much important and certainly giving back to the community is important. so i implore people that have been touched by cancer personally, through family, friends and neighbors, if you can channel that energy from a negative situation into something positive, it really -- it ends up being a positive

experience because dwelling on the negative is not the solution, but putting your efforts into something positive i think certainly is. cheryl: i think it's positive to have the support of the friends and david, you were part of that. how much money did you raise now? >> we raised a little over $2 million from the chapters that exist right now. i think one of the motivations for us lawn offing a national expansion is we think that can be exponential. cancer affects everyone. it's universal. everybody knows somebody. and so we wanted to give people an outlet to do something positive and to take a lot of what we got from our experience and bring it to their communities. lauren: david, rob, thank you so much for sharing your story and this amazing organization. thank you. >> thank you for having us. cheryl: thank you for watching "fbn: a.m.." we now send it over to "mornings with maria," welcome back, maria. maria: thank you so much. it is great to be back. good morning and happy new year to you, ladies.
