lauren, thanks a lot. let's talk of a white house strategy. white house correspondent john harwood joins us. what's the strategy? they'll take some time today. they were going to wrap it up and now take a few hours to finish their case. >> ultimately, it's a strategy of brute political force. a lot of words. arguments from pat cipollone and jay sekulow and others yesterday. alan dershowitz. they have made the arguments that house impeachment managers did a bad job. that democrats, the bidens are bad, that trump didn't do it. then when john bolton made that less tenable position, alan dershowitz argued, even if donald trump did do it, it's not impeachable. we'll hear a couple more hours of that sort of closing today. those are just the words. if you look at the music of this impeachment of president trump, it's a visceral appeal to tribal solidarity among republicans, trying to say democrats can't win. we have to win. joni ernst reflected that in talking about potential damage to joe biden yesterday and they're trying to make the case they have

lauren? lauren: i am buying that. stuart: you are? lauren: yeah.to be a temporary dip, then everyone will be fine. stuart: that's not a black swan, then. black swan takes you down and you stay down. lauren: a gray swan. stuart: in five seconds, this market opens. let's see what happens. three, two, one. bang, it's 9:30 eastern time on a friday morning. check that big board. they are not all open yet. they will. we are off and running. in the early going we are up 100 points already. 101. 29,263. that's a gain of .33%. look at the s&p 500. where's that? it is up .twooi25%. it is up. the nasdaq composite, up half a percentage point. that's a rally. al all-time high, 9,400. how about that. all-time high, nasdaq, opening right from the get-go. >>> now let's get to the casino stocks. macao could close the casinos there. the wynn gets 75% of their revenue there? >> absolutely. we know the chinese are big gamblers. we already see disney in shanghai closed. this could potentially close some of the gambling facilities. that will hit them hard. stuart: they

lauren fox is live on capitol hill.alk to us first about what americans tuning in today should expect. >> well, this is going to be a day all about debating that rule. basically majority leader mcconnell will present his resolution, then they'll read it aloud. then you can expect there's going to be a debate with democrats very concerned about two key provisions in that resolution. one of them, the fact that each side will each have 24 hours to make their case but that they'll have to do it over a two-day period. that stretches things likely into the night because that means they'll be making their case for 12-hour pieces of time. that's significant for democrats who argue they don't want to be making this case in the dead of night, and republicans are trying to conceal the information that house impeachment managers are going to be making. now the other issue that democrats have with the resolution is that while it does allow for an up or down vote on whether or not to move forward with witnesses, no specific witnesses

lauren: yeah. paralleling back in 2003 with the sars virus and how long or short, however you look at it, took about two months for many of these companies to recover, but this is 17 years later and china is such a bigger economy now than it was then. so when you look at disney closing its shanghai theme park and you look at mcdonald's and yum brands, which does so much business in china, and them closing stores, yeah, it will have an effect on the global economy, at least temporarily. stuart: lauren, thank you very much indeed. james carafano, thanks also for joining us this morning on a big day. appreciate it, both of you. >>> we are, can you believe this, we are one week away from the iowa caucuses. joe biden, elizabeth warren, picking up some endorsements from local newspapers. but you know, it's bernie sanders who is surging in the polls. should his bid for the white house be taken more seriously? i suspect yes. he's got the support. even democrats in the media admitting that president trump's

lauren: no u.s. casualties.o say okay, also it seems like it was an intentional miss by iran. they could have struck different bases, they could have taken out american service members and perhaps they did not. they saved face by telling their country there were casualties. stuart: that's right. they did. they did. lauren: this is the off-ramp in my opinion for president trump. we'll see what he says any minute now. stuart: you are directly right. they did tell the iranian people a lie, that there were 30 dead u.s. soldiers. ashley: higher than that, actually. 80. stuart: 80. it was a total lie. that was domestic propaganda. that's what they were up to. saving face, as you said. lauren: the other thing unusual is that this is an unusual iran attack on iraqi soil and iran is claiming responsibility for it. that's very un-iran like, if you look at their previous provocations which usually involve proxy forces. stuart: their language is much more restrained as well. it is now precisely 11:00 eastern time. another b
