4:00 pm
the dow. [closing bell rings] we were down more than 200. not bad. as they ring bells, clap and smile, they have reason to, that will do it for the "claman countdown." connell mcshane, melissa francis pick it up now "after the bell." melissa: wall street major averages reversing earlier losses as investors shrug off escalating tensions with iran. the dow gaining steam in the final moments of trading up 68 points. we had been down 216 points at today's lows. i'm melissa francis. welcome back. connell: food to be back. happy new year, i'm connell mcshane. welcome to "after the bell." that is quite a finish where we were. s&p and nasdaq off the session lows big time, kicking off the week in the green at session highs to wrap up the session. so we'll talk a lot about that. have all big market movers. here is what is new at this hour. less than a month now until the first major test of the 2020 race for president. the candidates that are seeing a surge in the polls, perhaps just
4:01 pm
at the right time. we'll tell you who that is. we'll talk to karl rove, former senior advisor to president george w. bush. he will sound off later in the hour. plus massive fires, raging in australia. crews working to fight a blazing inferno that has burned through an area tries the size of the state of maryland. we'll have the latest from emergency officials there. new charges against harvey weinstein. the disgraced movie mogul arriving in court using a walker here in new york today just two years after dozens of women came forward with allegations of sexual harrassment and we're live at the courthouse ahead of jury selection. melissa: fox business team coverage. blake burman at the white house. jackie deangelis on the floor of the new york stock exchange. jeff flock is watching the action in oil and gold from the cme. blake, let's kick it off with you. reporter: hi, there, melissa. there will be a big briefing on capitol hill, wednesday afternoon, scheduled to be at this point, involving the
4:02 pm
secretary of state, the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and cia director. those four will be briefing members of congress about the president's decision to launch that airstrike that took out the iranian general qassem soleimani. democrats here in washington have a host of complaint about the strike's legality and timing, what repercussions could come potentially as as a result. appearing on rush limbaugh show this afternoon, president trump said soleimani's demise was long overdue and in the national security interests of the u.s. >> he should been taken out a long time ago. we had a shot at it, we took him out. we're a lot safer because of it. we'll see what happens. we'll see what the response is if any, you have seen what i said our response will be. reporter: over the weekend president trump threatened iran on two different occasions. if it retaliate against the u.s., its cultural sites would be targeted. the white house saying today for the moment that is a
4:03 pm
hypothetical. >> he said that was openly asking the question, why in the world they're allowed to maim people, put up roadside bombs that kill our people? let me clarify to all the questions being asked, the president has identified those sites, and has said that it may happen if iran retaliates in a certain way. reporter: the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi also said that said that later this week the house will take up a war powers resolution call for limiting military actions against iran. back to you. melissa: blake, thank you. connell: brand new safety risks on the grounded 737 max jets. go to jackie dee dee with that and more. reporter: good afternoon to you, connell. after the crashes with the 737 max jet if you recall, a software design problem was detected. that is what crashes were blamed
4:04 pm
on. but the faa has asked boeing to do internal audit of the plane to see if there are any other design flaws and in fact one of the problems with this plane is a wiring system problem that helps control the tail of the max. that is being reported by "the new york times." this could cause further delay in terms of getting the 737 max jet up in the air. investors watch this one very closely. very, very rough time for boeing 's stock as you can see on the screen. getting this back up and running, getting a fresh start with a new ceo, david calhoun, big priority for boeing. we'll continue to watch that story. but i also want to draw your attention to shares of tesla today, because despite all the problems that elon musk has had, the stock is doing pretty well. look at that chart right there. actually delivering in 2019, more model 3 units than it did in 2017 and 2018 combined.
4:05 pm
he tweeted about taking the company private. he had problems with the sec. there was a much booed -- botched truck unveiling when windows broke and. he is there at unveiling of shanghai plant. the first shipments coming in at the heavily-invested plant the company put out together. turning out more than 1000 model 3s at this time. the stock is trading higher on that news. closing up 68 on the dow, huge reversal, guys. a big shift in sentiment. connell: that was the story late in the day, jackie deangelis at the new york stock exchange. melissa: oil closing up .35% as investors reconsider middle east risk. jeff flock on this one. jeff, i thought we were supposed to be so concerned. oil would go through the roof, a disaster, not so much. >> the story what didn't happen,
4:06 pm
melissa, indeed. 63.27 at the close. that is down 22-cent and not much more in the after-hours. looking at board we're down 23 cents in the after-hours. not much movement at all, yes. reconsidering exactly. traders pointing out that you know, with shale now, we're pretty energy independent. these sorts of concerns in the middle east have a lot less impact than they would have several years ago. still, some fears out there. you know the president has said, that threat, that you reported earlier about potentially taking out cultural targets in iran, traders think more likely target would be iranian oil infrastructure. the problem with that is, you take out oil infrastructure for iran, they don't have any oil money coming in so that's a problem too. still oil, susceptible stocks, down today, particularly the airline stocks. take a look at those in question, like american, delta, united, alaska air, all down on the day.
4:07 pm
on those fears that you know, something could happen out there in terms of fuel prices but, at this point, all is calm. on the oil front. melissa. melissa: love it. jeff flock, thank you. connell: really interesting day. talk about it with michael lee, michael lee strategy founder. if you think about it, the dow at one point down 200 plus points finishes higher. oil as jeff flock is talking about, hits a 8-month high. finishing well off the highs, goes lower after-hours. what is the market takeaway from reaction or lack thereof with tensions with iran? >> i think cooler heads prevailed. when you look at actions the united states took, bows back to old adage, why do you have a military so big? precisely so you don't get into conflict or don't get into war. the actions taken by the trump administration to take out the general is a stern warning no one is safe in the iranian hierarchy. if they want to stay safe, stop
4:08 pm
trying to kill our troops, to maim our young sons abroad. stop all the proxy wars. enough is enough. connell: we come into the situation don't we, in a pretty good situation economically, and for the market. take oil, for example, where it is in the mid 60s. where would oil have to go before it is real economic problem? have to rise a fair amount from 63 bucks, wouldn't it? >> almost a double. connell: yeah. >> every year the u.s. foes forward the last dollar on price of gasoline means wallet share for the entire country. cars are more efficient. people, auto sales are the lowest now they have been, steadily declining year-over-year. people are driving less. cars are far more fuel efficient. energy sector is a small sector of the s&p 500. so as we're becoming more energy independent, we're using less of it. melissa: falling behind in the streaming wars, netflix, walking away from the 2020 golden globe awards with two awards despite the record-setting 34 nominations.
4:09 pm
so can the tech giant bounce back? michael i thought it was so funny ricky gervais made a joke in the introh. this is netflix's show, come out say, congratulations netflix you won everything because they had so many nominations, they ended up only winning two things. does it matter, does it matter for the stock, does it have impact on investors or viewers? >> you bring up a great point. this is foreshadowing what is to come with netflix in the streaming wars. what it is, content always wins. so netflix content is no longer dominating these awards because you have gotten new participants by way of apple, amazon, google. everybody is, disney getting, getting in on the streaming war. netflix will always have first mover advantage. they have a huge international presence. at some point their streaming, their subscriber growth for streaming will slow down. not only that, there is only so much content can be made. netflix has 4 or $5 billion of
4:10 pm
cash in the balance sheet. they have 100 billion. so the companies creating far more cash flow will be able to outspend netflix for the choice and quality content. so i think they spent $300 million on "the irishman." this is only 4th or 5th watched movie last year. there are real problems to come for netflix which stock trades 50 times rosiest of earnings next year. as soon as the subscriber growth tends to taper, they burn more cash to compete for content i think you're headed for real problem with the netflix stock. melissa: interesting analysis, michael, thank you. connell: as we continue, changing threats on the world stage. iran vowing severe revenge after its most powerful military commander was killed in a drone strike. president trump fighting back. we're in the amman, jordan when we come back. melissa: different from mild revenge. graphic images of jeffrey epstein raising new questions

4:15 pm
connell: no peace in the middle east. tensions escalating with the united states and iran exchanging new threats after the killing of the iranian general qassem soleimani in a u.s. air strike. benjamin hall, fox news correspondent live in amman, jordan, with the latest. reporter: connell, good evening from jordan. we heard ever since the death of qassem soleimani numerous threats out of iran, they want revenge. we've seen that right in the funerals taking place in tehran at the moment. hundreds of thousands of people coming out. both military and political leaders say they want to attack u.s. mainland, attack the white house, ships in the gulf or saudi all lies. they also said today they want to attack, put target on president trump. they said there was bounty of $80 million on his head. there was a funeral today. they urged support is at one dollar each so they could reach
4:16 pm
that figure. we're also hearing from qassem soleimani successor at the quds force. is name is ismael ghani. he was deputy head of quds force. previously head of operations in afghanistan. he said he will continue with legacy of soleimani. will harness proxies that qassem soleimani used himself. he spoke to leaders today, also makes you wonder whether or not they might be part of any kind of retaliation. certainly many people in the middle east wondering what kind of retaliation might take place. the other big news from iran today, rather yesterday, they announced they would no longer abide by the limits set by the 2015 nuclear agreement. they have been pushing up towards levels, top levels for some months now. they won't abide by them at all. that includes number of centrifuges, limits on enrichment. they have for a long time wanted to get an atomic weapon. now it seems they are going to be free to do so and try their
4:17 pm
hardest to do that. we're also getting new information about the strike that killed on qassem soleimani. that road that leads from baghdad airport to baghdad city. it is the sail road where countless american soldiers were killed using iranian ieds. some people saying perhaps poetic justice where it happened. connell. connell: speaking of iraq, benjamin, i want to ask you about presence of u.s. troops after the vote in iraqi parliament over the weekend there were reports earlier today, about a letter circulating from a u.s. military official, possibly making plans for troops to move or withdraw. defense secretary made new comments. can you clear that up for us an tell us where things stand? reporter: certainly, yesterday there was a vote in the iraqi parliament and they voted overwhelmingly for u.s. troops to leave but it was a non-binding vote. sunnis and kurds didn't take part. then today we had this letter that was leaked that showed, it was from the u.s. saying that
4:18 pm
the u.s. troops weren't going to pull out. we heard from mark esper, there is evidence, there is no plans to pull the u.s. out. he said, period. at the moment, certainly no plans for that to happen. but at the moment the way things are playing out it is hard to read what will happen. certainly the u.s. denying there are plans to pull u.s. troops out. connell: all right. benjamin thanks, benjamin hall in amman, jordan. melissa: here to react, heritage foundation senior fellow and former deputy secretary of defense, peter brookes. peter, general jack keane said this was the biggest shock to the ayatollah in 41 years. that they're trying to figure out what to do next. do you think that is an overstatement and what do you think they do from here? >> no, it's a huge blow to the regime. this person was perhaps the second most powerful person in the country, somebody who might become the president of iran at some time if he had not been killed in that strike.
4:19 pm
yeah, i think they're on their back heels. i think they're on their heels and they're concerned how to move forward. because they're afraid of taking on the united states, melissa. they will go after us asim met i cannily. they will to after what they perceive our weaknesses. they will not take us on strength on strength. they know they can't. they are weak economically. you talked much about on this show. politically there is social pressure of iran outside of this latest event. of course militarily they're no match for u.s. military forces. >> let me ask but the social pressure because we've been watching here on the show, so inside of iran there was uprising among people who, you know are looking for their basic needs to be met. >> yes. melissa: we had the regime inside cracking down, killing people. this was just happening. now we're looking on the screen and other networks describing these people flooding into the streets, screaming "death to america." in essence i heard them saying on abc a week ago, they wanted
4:20 pm
to take the regime down and now the whole country is united against us towards their government. is that is what is going on? >> it is hard to say. obviously this was a big event in iran. it has affected emotions tremendously but it down change the underlying issues that the iranian people are very unhappy about. that includes lack of opportunities, lack of employment, limitations on educational opportunity, the economy, economy shrunk by 10% last year and they're expecting the same this year. so once again, they have basic human needs are not being met. so once again very high period of emotion but we'll have to see how this plays out. melissa: peter, all of these reports about iran end with this idea, now they are barreling towards nuclear weapon because they are angrier than ever and before they weren't doing that. i look back at a report from this fall, both the bbc and reuters reporting that the international atomic energy agency went into a factory in
4:21 pm
tehran where before, benjamin netanyahu had said this was a weapons factory that hadn't been inspected. now the iaea says that they have detected nuclear particles within this factory. everything has been moved out. that would support the claim that they were in fact charging ahead with weapons and not letting inspectors go in. why aren't we hearing more about this? why is no one focused on this? >> it is really, it is an important issue. we talked about it over the years. we certainly don't want a regime like iran to have a nuclear weapon. once again, they have been violating the joint comprehensive plan of action, also known as the iran nuclear deal at small levels. it is important to read what they have said, melissa, i recommend people do. what they're doing, they're doing incremental violations of it. but things are potentially reversible. they have basically said in the statement on sunday that they will come back to the agreement, if the united states lifts the
4:22 pm
sanctions. melissa: yeah. >> what they're doing, trying to put pressure on us, trying to put pressure on europeans to help iran survive these tremendous economic sanctions that they're having to do. but obviously our biggest concern is, is iran. melissa: they won't respond to this evidence that the factory in tehran -- >> they had a program. melissa: that is was a cleaning factory. >> they had a program. they had a nuclear weapons program, there is no doubt about that. we may not know everything going on that the iaea may not be able to inspect. melissa: pete, thank you. always appreciate it. connell: "fox business alert" on juul. juul labs is moving around its leadership team. this is just in from the e-cigarette maker. the company's chief financial officer in october, moving to be the chief transformation officer. the company's current accounting chief will act as the interim cfo for the time-being. cartwright will lead juul's billion dollar restructuring effort. new cfo i guess. melissa: we'll see what happens there. connell: yeah.

4:36 pm
because he doesn't know yet the quality and volume of the evidence against him in california. stated differently, if he takes the witness stand and is aquiteed here in new york, if, but something he said while the on the stand could harm him in california, the jury in california will hear about it. this is very, very complex at this point. if i were his lawyers, i would ask that the trial that is scheduled to begin as soon as jurors are chosen later this week or next week, however long it takes be put off until discovery, until the lawyers in california can advise the lawyers in new york of the nature and quality of the evidence against him in california. connell: those are interesting points. maybe they will do that we'll see, how it plays out here in new york and california. the other story i want to talk to you about while you're here is carlos ghosn. boy, this is a crazy story. we're learning more about his escape essentially from japan. two u.s. security experts,

[ applause and band playing ] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ melissa: reduce, reuse, relocate? new york city mayor bill de blasio under fire for his handling of the garbage rom in the city he promised to manage. new "politico" article reporting that the mayor's pledge to virtually zero out the garbage exports by 2030 is now basically nonexistent. here now is dan heninger from "the wall street journal." also a fox news contributor. so de blasio had campaigned on this idea that new yorkers would ship all of our garbage, or a lot of it to ohio and to the
4:46 pm
carolinas. he said we're not going to do that anymore. we'll reduce by 90%. instead it is up. surprise, surprise. not only did he not eliminate it, it is higher now than before and just for the record, it is construction and demolition industry in new york which produces most of the garbage, that isn't recycled. >> well, for those of us who live in new york city, melissa, who can doubt it. there is trash anywhere, most of it along the streets and yeah, there is a lot of construction and all the demolition, demolished material has to go somewhere and bill de blasio now has two years to make good on this promise. i think chances of him doing that are about zero. melissa: we're showing on the screen some other cities that send their garbage away for someone else to take care of pause new york is hardly alone. a lot of liberal cities on there. l.a., oakland, san jose, philadelphia as well. garbage is enormous problem, as
4:47 pm
we dug deep into the garbage pit on this story, in most cases you used to export a lot of recyclables to china. there are chinese garbage billionaires in los angeles, no joke, they take it away on boats and barges, who knows. claimed to be recycled but i don't know if we know. now that is not happening. >> the chinese refuse to do it. they're not taking anymore of what they call the west's loathsome garbage. they're not doing it. i think this basically been a public sector problem. recycling is the answer. recycle something that the public sector has been in charge of for years. they have failed to come up with a system to get people to recycle properly or process recycled trash. the answer at this point is turn it over to the private sector. melissa: right. >> new technology to figure out ways to resource the trash.
4:48 pm
they have to be clean to turn into plastic resin. we define technology producing robots and so forth age to do that now. there is enough market incentive the recycling industry will get it done but in places like new york the public sector has to get out of the way. melissa: to summarize, the government has been in charge. they have done a horrible job. now the private sector needs to come in with technology to fix the problem. >> ideology of incompetence. bring in the private sector. melissa: we solved it, dan, thank you. connell: solved. talk about the surge we're seeing in the polls for bernie sanders there is a new poll has him leading in new hampshire and tied with joe biden, pete buttigieg in iowa. bring in fox news contributor karl rove. forker advisor to president george w. bush. what is going on with bernie here? >> one cautionary note, one set
4:49 pm
of polls from cbs in new hampshire and iowa, so we have to be careful but it does make a lot of sense he seems to be gaining at the expense of elizabeth warren but we have to keep it all in check and got to put it in perspective. ultimately what we're talking about here are delegates and the question what would happen in iowa and new hampshire if this all played out like the polls say its plan today. in iowa there are 41 pledged delegates. that is what the democrats call delegates elected in caucuses and primaries as opposed to superdelegates, became delegates years ago and remain delegates today. the three-way tie would obviously leave it with biden, buttigieg and sanders with 11 each, because you have to get 15% of the vote. otherwise you don't get a delegate. only four candidates, elizabeth warren joins the trio have 15% or more in the "cbs poll." in new hampshire which has 24 pledged delegates, the results, mayor pete at 13%. so he doesn't get any delegates.
4:50 pm
sooners at nine, biden ad nine, warren at six, buttigieg at zero. we're not talking about a big difference. think about this. under the option i just laid out it is after iowa, new hampshire, 20 for biden, 20 for sanders, 14 for warren, and 11 for buttigieg. if buttigieg who is at 13% in new hampshire today, gets 15% of the vote, he then gets in the delegate pool and it is 19 for sanders, 18 for biden, 15 for buttigieg. now he is in third place and warren in fourth at 13. basically not a lot of votes separating all of the candidates. connell: waiting for the next whiteboard to say brokered convention. that is what everybody talks about in these scenarios. one of the headlines the bloomberg campaign hiringfy hundred staffers in 30 plus states -- 500 staffers in 30 plus states, hiring like crazy. this scenario plays out, in the
4:51 pm
hands of mayor bloomberg that it gets so close super tuesday he can compete? >> i don't know if it plays into his hands. if he spends a lot of money he expands the opportunity for the delegate pool to be split up not three ways or four ways but five ways because think about it. five candidates get 15% or more, 75% of the vote is shared among those candidates, they get, they all get delegates. think about this. by the end of the night, on march 3rd we will have seen 48% of the delegates to the democratic national convention selected because a lot of big states moved their primaries earlier. that night, california, the largest delegation at the democratic convention will be elected. texas the second largest. north carolina which is about the fourth or fifth largest. virginia on its tail. tennessee is big. colorado and alabama which are both roughly nine electoral votes each. they're roughly similar in size.
4:52 pm
colorado a little bit larger. massachusetts which elizabeth warren home state. we have minnesota, amy klobuchar's home state. dogs and cats out there, oklahoma. connell: all right. >> this could be split, 48% of the delegates chopped up between four or five candidates depending how much bloomberg is a player that night. that makes it mathematically difficult to show up in milwaukee with absolute majority of delegates in hand before the first ballot. connell: that is why people like you writing about the brokered convention. we'll keep talking about it. it will be a crazy year. sounds like a nut at this next few months. karl, as always, thank you. >> thank you. melissa: can you patch drywall without google how to do it? a new survey show two in five americans cannot fix any basic household problem, unclogging a drain or fixing a leaky faucet without turning to google for the answer. does this mean the next generation will be fully dependent on google?
4:53 pm
who better to ask it our own handyman, david asman. >> i can fix drywall. the bottom line is this is a terrible news story, i think it is great news we have google to help us fix all these things we don't know how to fix. yes, our great grandfathers and fathers knew how to fix toilets and bad drains, et cetera. the previous generation, generation-x, i get them confused, the ones before millenials, they couldn't fix anything. they neither had knowledge of their grandparents, are no did they have google at the beckon call. we have got google there. so the fact that people can't fix it on their own, go to google i think is a great news story. i don't think bad news at all. melissa: you're confirming what you thought you knew. i'm not sure we're looking for all the answers. you kind of know. you just want to make sure. what is coming up on your fabulous program? >> we have congressman jim banks, also a former serviceman. he served over in iraq and
