thousands of passengers trapped with 60 confirmed cases on the ship. three u.s. citizens already tested positive. this thing still is spreading. it's not contained. lauren: some of the passengers on the cruise ships are confined to their ca cabin. if you have an interior cabin, you can't leave the cabin for days. cheryl: isolation, yeah. let's move on to something else. this is a sad story coming out of china. one of the first doctors that blew the whistle on the coronavirus has died from the virus. reports of his death began circulating yesterday on social media there. chinese state media denied his claims initially. but he was declared dead just a few hours later. the 33-year-old was based at a hospital in the he epicenter of you wuhan, he warned classmates about the virus back in december a according to a com a communisn newspaper.

lauren: people really see him as a hero. he said shortly after he was interrogated by the police and forced to write a statement, claiming he was spreading false information. the doctor said he had been treating someone infected with the virus. he was then hospitalized himself. that was on january 12th. he had trouble breathing. people are celebrating for his vigilance in dealing with the outbreak. the white confirmed the u.s. killed a topa top al-qaida leadn air strike in yemen. qasim al-raymi died nearly two weeks ago. a victory president trump hinted at over the weekend. the state department offered a $10 million bounty for his capture after linking him to several terror plots against the u.s. and allied forces. cheryl: boeing moving another step closer to returning the 737 max to service. the head of the federal aviation administration says he expects the plane's certification flight to happen sometime in the next few weeks, that is one of the

pray for you when they know that that's not so. >> reporter: then the president spoke to america from the white house unfiltered, claiming victory after his acquittal and this time slamming the speaker by name. >> nancy pelosi is a horrible person. and she wanted to impeach a long time ago when she said i pray for the president, i pray for the president. she doesn't pray. she may pray, but she prays for the opposite. but i doubt she prays at all. >> reporter: the mainstream media not happy about either of the president post acquittal speeches. >> i don't know whos is going to look like a christian and follower of jesus with this kind of conversation and this kind of vitriol. why would you not want to accept at least prayer or that kind of positive gesture. >> he was attacking and making clear the consequences for anyone that crosses him. >> it was vindictive as you pointed out, it was full of revenge, it was mean spirited ox it was poisonous, it was

spiteful. >> reporter: in a scathing news conference, the speaker condemned the president for lacking class as democrats plot their next move, hinting their investigations are far from over. >> he really needs our prayers. he's talking about things that he knows little about, faith and prayer. >> reporter: of course, pelosi herself facing criticism this week for publicly protesting the be president's state of the union address by, remember this, ripping up his speech after it was over. the democrat controlled house by the way just killed a resolution to condemn her actions. back to you, lauren and cheryl. cheryl: aishah, thank you. breaking news overnight, scandal at credit suisse. there is a spying scandal at the bank. thomas gotstein will be replacinreplacing one of the em.

cheryl: boeing's 737 max crisis could take a bite out of u.s.

economic growth this year. steven you mnuchin spoke with our very own maria bartiromo yesterday. here's what he had to say. >> our projections have been reduced because of boeing and other impacts. so it will be lower. i think we would have hit 3% but, again, boeing has had a big impact on our exports being the largest exporter, i think that could be 50 basis points or not more. cheryl: that news breaking on fox business, francis newton stacy, director of cay tallies s here and your reaction to the forecast. >> if we can find some way to blame the fact that we're going to fall short of 3% growth on one singular thing, boeing, i think that's probably the thing to do. however, we've been in a little bit of a deceleration with economic growth for a little while. we've also been in a deceleration with earnings per share, despite market highs. what that tells me is that the fed is really keeping markets up with that liquid a liquidity. i think the liquidity from the

fed supports the growth and market levels a little more. boeing will certainly have an impact. the coronavirus will certainly have an impact and it remains to be seen but i think it's kind of smart of him to say, well, it's just boeing, that's why we're not hitting our targets. cheryl: that's interesting, your take on that. he did say about 50 basis points on economic growth. you mentioned coronavirus and the markets have been shrugging this off a. we hit all-time highs last night. we're seeing red on the screen today. do you think this is because of the realization that the coronavirus is not contained or do you think it's leading into a jobs report for january, maybe there's concern out there about the number? what do you say? >> i feel like we're just pulling back. the market went up so high, so quickly, it goes up on such a steep angle that we just pull back a little bit. we'll see what the jobs report says. so far the earnings and economic data have been pretty decent. i don't expect any surprises. the job market get is softening in the background but i don't know that it's going to be reflected in the numbers right

away. i think we're having a minor pullback. if the dow can hold 29,000, that says we're on the upward trajectory. again, the fed is actively injecting tens of billions of dollars into the sis p testimony and -- system and that's always going to support equity pricing. that's what i'm watching. cheryl: you also mentioned earnings and surprises. got to ask you about uber, francis. they came out and really stunned a lot of folks. they moved up their profitability targets to the end of this year, the fourth quarter and looks like they're really expanding globally, starting to hit key numbers for the company. what did you make of that? >> yes, i think it's so interesting. so the thing about having all these ipos not be profitable and stay interesting to investors, as long as markets are going up, investors are less picky about balance sheets and things like that. the minute the economy shows slowing or turn arounds, uber will be more compelling that

other ipos. otherwise, the nonprofitable ipos will suffer in an economic downturn. there's no his. cheryl: francis newton stacy, great to see you. thank you for being here. >> thank you, cheryl. lauren: let's take a look at futures. the dyethe nasdaq is down 49.fot gains of about 4%. the jobs data of course could change all this, maybe we can end in the green. still to come, it's been a big week for tesla ceo elon musk and now he's making big moves at another one of his companies. his latest plans and what they mean for a new industry. cheryl: and bernie sanders sitting on a comfortable lead in new hampshire. but does that mean he's got the most to lose in the big debate tonight and who is on his heels, we're talking about it coming up on "fbn: a.m." ♪ cold medicines,

the day. one of the theories of why a slow wakeup is better, it's like reminiscent of birds childrenning or something you would hear like the sun is coming up and it's like is it time to wake up and you slowly bring yourself to life. like the rooster on the -- not like a car alarm, like that's going to leave you worse off. cheryl: it leaves you tired later. you don't sustain your energy because of this. >> when you wake up suddenly, you're groggy for like four hours. when you wake up slowly you're lulled into facing the day. lauren: maybe i need to change the sound of my alarm clock. cheryl: that and coffee. >> lots and lots of coffee. lauren: i got that cor cornere. spacex might be spinning its satellite internet business. >> spacex is gunning for a satellite radio service. the satellites are lower in the

lauren: we're only four days away from the new hampshire primary and more than 40% of the state's re registered voters say they're undecided. cheryl: hillary vaughn has the latest. >> reporter: the dnc wants a recanvas on the results out of iowa on the same day senator bernie sanders says he is the winner. >> that screw-up has been extremely unfair to the people of iowa. it has been unfair to the candidates, all of the candidates and all of their supporters. >> reporter: a big part of what can make or break a candidate here are the voters that are undid youndeclared. they can think on the spot which primary they want to participate in by picking up a republican or democratic ballot on their way in and they can walk back out still undeclared. that silent majority of moderates could have a big impact on the democratic primary. we talked to undeclared voters in manchester, new hampshire and

they tell us they take the responsibility of being an undecided very seriously. >> for me, like finance yo finm more republican, but socially i'm more democrat. i try to go with somebody that's not part of the establishment, i guess. >> the reason i'm independent is i actually believe in different things from both parties. so i like to look at the individuals, look at who they are, look at how they represent themselves and make the decision based on that. >> reporter: it's very common for voters to make up their mind on election day. i talked to one voter who says he know he's going to participate in the democratic primary, he doesn't know who he is going to vote for yet. cheryl: hillary, thank you very much. joining me now to talk more about this, former white house deputy brad blakeman and democratic strategist, kevin chavitz. kevin, we'll start with you, the iowa debacle behind us, the det

baidebate tonight, has the party recovered and what do you make of sanders' 1 point lead in new hampshire. >> the party has talked about recanvassing. we still don't have an official winner. it hasn't been good. the candidates are moving on to new hampshire, as they they should, and i think that sanders should be the favorite. he won against hillary clinton in 2016 by 22%. he's from new england. obviously with elizabeth warren in the race, she also has roots in that area so you would think she should be competitive. but i think mayor pete is the big winner out of iowa because it looks like he did win the most votes after the reallocation or got close at least to sanders, he closed the gap. so he's in a good position. we'll see. but sanders should win. i think if he doesn't win it would be a big problem for him because that's his backyard and he's had success in the past. cheryl: it's a 0.1% difference as we can see from the iowa results.

s that's what we've got now. it's interesting, you look at the suffolk university survey, they're talk aing abou talking e buttigieg is on the heels of sanders. there's a 1% difference in a poll and there's a margin of error. >> that's why i think mayor peat becomes a huge -- mayor pete becomes a huge target to p stop his momentum. bernie is favored and all eyes should be on bernie. between bernie and buttigieg and a couple swipes at joe biden only because he didn't perform well and you want to lower expectations for biden to do well, not only in new ham shirks you becausnew hampshire-- new he won't, as he moves into super tuesday, that's really make or break for joe biden. mayor pete needs to stop momentum and you need to take bernie down a couple pegs and while you're at it try to put a stake in joe. cheryl: kevin is right here, listening to every word. i want to ask about the biden

story, the weak showing in iowa. he's making staffing changes and speaking of staffing, elizabeth warren losing six women of color from her campaign. they're claiming a toxic work environment at the elizabeth warren campaign. your rea action to that? >> well, mayor pete dealt with something similar. it's definitely troubling for elizabeth warren and she does not need any story like that as she's trying to rise, make her profile higher. she did okay in iowa. she's got to do better. and i think brad is right, that super tuesday will be make or break basically for all the candidates. joe biden has got to perform well in south carolina, that's been sort of his firewall. if he doesn't win south carolina or performed poorly there i think he's essentially doomed. and with elizabeth warren, she just cannot afford to have any setbacks, especially among voters of color, because she's got to surpass senator sanders. that's somebody who is standing

in her way, both sort of fighting for the same vote. so we'll see what effect it has but she's got to step up. it would be nice for her if she could surprise people in new hampshire, indications are that that won't happen. but we'll see. this race has been very tough to predict, that's for sure. cheryl: it has. again, i've got to go back to the biden story. by the way, we're seeing andrew yang on that stage, he'll be debating tonight. he's made a huge reshuffle in his campaign as well. brad, to you, looking ahead, joe biden, what do you say? >> joe biden's treading water. he has underperformed as he has in his prior campaigns for president. he hasn't caught fire. my prediction is, this is the year of the socialist democrat and the democratic party that joe biden knew has long since passed him. cheryl: guys, it is going to be a fascinating evening tonight. friday night, get your popcorn, the debate it on. good to see you both. lauren: let's take a look at your money this morning. you can see the dow jones

lauren: arguably the most important economic report of the month is due out in less than three hours. the economy expected to have created 160,000 jobs in january with the unemployment rate holding steady at a 50-year low of 3.5%. danielle booth is the ceo and director of intelligence for quell intelligence. thanks for joining us on this jobs day. >> good morning. lauren: we just gave the expectations but what really are you looking for in this jobs report and more importantly, does the momentum that we've seen, does that he slow dow slot revisions going from april 2018 to march of 2019, a lot of people are saying there could be a drastic down-shift in the economy. >> well, actually the

statisticians in dc give us a good idea of what the revisions are going to be months ago. we're looking at somewhere around 45,000 per month deducted from average monthly growth in nonfarm payrolls. that's going to be a big hit to what we have thought of as the trend but investors tend to look at what they're seeing in the here and now and overnight we had noa come out and say december and january are the warmest on record, going back to data from 1895. they're looking for more upside, kind of a continuation of what we saw with the adp report when we see the data had hit at 8:30 this morning. lauren: you know what surprised me about adp and the blowout number, if you looked under the hood, manufacturing we saw jobs created there to the tune of 10,000 and also construction, the housing market is getting better. are you encouraged by those two sectors of the economy which kind of weighed on the market

last year, even though it was a great year overall. are they bouncing back in 2020? >> you know, housing has certainly been a great benefit since the federal reserve lowered interest rates three times. that filtered through to lower mortgage rates and we saw a big rebound in housing. i'm worried a little bit going forward, emisson what's happening with -- given what's happening with the coronavirus, we're definitely seeing weakness and layoffs in the industrial sector, in transportation, in the auto sector prior to the news of the coronavirus coming out. i'll worried about carrying momentum past the month of january. lauren: you're not alone. especially when you look at the stock market, that really has been flying high. records for the dow, nasdaq and s&p 500, a lot of people are scratching their heads but nonetheless saying the fundamentals of the economy do support that. whether about wage growth? it's expected to rise 3% on an annual basis. but the democratic talking point will be, well, only the rich are making more money, no one else

is. as you look at the numbers, are you seeing a different story? >> that is absolutely the least true thing i've heard. the national federation of independent businesses, over 300,000 small businesses queried every month, they came out and said that wage growth for the past three months for them has been 7%, going back to data since 1984, we have never seen wages growing at this pace. so the skill shortage in the united states continues and businesses are struggling to get the best skilled employees that they possibly can, so i would expect upside when we see that wage inflation number come out this morning. lauren: what headline number are you looking for today, danielle? >> you know, i think the consensus is sitting somewhere around 160. given what happened with the adp report and how warm december was, i would look for upside, northwards of 200,000 when the data hits this morning. lauren: i'm concerned if we get something like 170 or 150,000 that the market sells off because of that positive adp

report. we're just expecting bigger numbers. >> there would certainly be a disappointment factor. it is extremely unusual to see futures down as much as we are this morning ahead of a payroll report. normally they flat line on these fridays. lauren: but it has been a he tremendous week. thank you for your time. maria bartiromo will have complete coverage and analysis of the january jobs report, that starts at 8:00 a.m. eastern time on "mornings with maria." cheryl: we are just getting in a brand-new tape from president trump and it's talking about china. this is just coming in and this is over his phone call with the president of china, xi-jinping. he said i just had a long and very good conversation by phone with president xi of china, strong, sharp, focused on leading the counter attack on the coronavirus. he feels they are doing very well, building hospitals in a matter of days, nothing is easy but he will be successful especially as the weather starts to warm and hopefully the virus
