Yes theres still questions to it. How much do you keep . How much can you write off. But coming down pike one, two trillion infrastructure plan and continues to be optimistic to push for prosperity in your wallet Varney Company right here starts right now. Charles i know the frozen tundra is redundant but necessary the east coast and west coast in already a serious e deep freeze and it will helicopter into the new years. Youre looking at windchills check them out negative numbers across the board absolutely phenomenal. On the other end the scale higher oil near 60 last two sessions. But not because lots of people are using heating oil the big spark the last couple of days has been libyan where fallout after that pipeline blast and adam you have nor details on that. A blast they expect to have this pipeline back up and running in about a week but knocking 100,000 barrels off of the market so price was trading above 60. And highest it has been in a long time. West texas take a look at this opinion headline from the wall street journal, listen to o varney find a broader audience Fox News Contributor with wall street journal wrote that article and he joins us now. Sanders enforces trump middleclass tax cuts and seems like hes trying to somehow walk it back. I dont know if cnn caught hill at the end of a very long week and didnt mean to say what he said but what he admitted is one there are lots of middleclass tax cuts. 91 folks get a tax cut. Im guess closer to 100 but well take 891 from bernie and he said what he should make hem said the tax cuts should have been made permanent so i think he well knows the reason theyre not permanent is because democrats wouldnt negotiate and so republicans had to use a reconciliation process that prevented it but bottom line is senator majority leader mitch should bring a permanent tax cut to floor inen jay and sounds like you have at least one vote in the democrat caucus with Bernie Sanders. You know listen, i mean, i think once february hits people see tax cuts actually hit their wallets. You start to see the tide of Public Opinion change on this. The democrats are going to be a whole lot of pressure whether it is brought up again in january remains to be seen when infrastructure and other things on dock et but certainly there will be more bites at this apple. You rise a good point where reality is about to set in. We heard all of the rett reck before the vote where nancy pelosi was saying this is armageddon the ends of the world. Maybe that deep freeze in the midwest she was talking about. That would be more accurate wouldnt it. Because i think both politicians and pun dangts on the left now have to reckon with fact that despite what theyve been telling us or for week this is cut is actually across the board middleclass, upper class, all income earners all break from ets are getting a break so isnt that sort of the whats happened here because you know they do the fear mongering before armageddon in the world expfer afterwards actually probably looking ahead know that these are this is popular. Who is unhappy to keep more of what they actually earn this ridiculous so now the argument is hey, people should have gotten a bigger tax cut. Yeah, i think people are gong it see theres less withholding ton out of their paycheck and see their wages rise, and also were starting to see, obviously, a lot of companies announcing bonuses with their cash. But also what youre really going to see is increased investment. By u u. S. Companies in the United States, and thats going to have benefits that people are going to feel as well. Last tuesday night fedex talked about paying into pension fund but pensions matter to it a whole lot of folks. Thanks a lot be back to you many a moments. Huge year for a stock market and sort of spinning our wheel this is week but might break out todays and were going to get big question, of course, is now a repeat of this next year a lot of people would say issue that what we saw in 2017 had a lot to do with trump now i want to get back to politics to bring in katy, foxs contradict tore town hall editor after the new year theyll be high gear potion on the fbi and russia, is it time to shut this one down and in your mind maybe move on to some things luke the economy and other things that are really happen hadding in real time . I think that democrats is time for time to try to shut down narrative because it is gone nowhere for a year when it comes to legal aspect and we dont know when that will end and white house thinks it will be wrapped up quickly and didnt know that. Could be in it for another year oar come to close early in the spring were not sure. But in terms of the narrative democrats have to get together, which they will at the beginning of the year and decide what their running for in 2018 and what theyre running against President Trump and being part of the resistance is really going to be their strategy going into those districts. I think resistance hashtag resistance will probably be their hallmark if you will. But you know how do they resist because russia, russia, i think is is really starting to fade people are confused and james ill bring you in on had this and credibility with fbi and key folks involved in the investigation being questioned their animosity viz rile to President Trump, im not sure why they want to hang on to this one. This investigation from Michael Horowitz department of justice i. G. Is creating problems for that mueller inquiry. One exposing bias within his ranks. But also as we go forward i think what its going to show is all of the problems created by former fbi director james comey. And all of the ways that he did not follow protocol in the the clinton email investigation. You had basically bipartisan dpreement among former clinton, obama, Bush Administration officials that comey had acted way beyond the world of an fbi director in in dropping the case and speaking publicly about it and making decision that were not his to make. Last second changes, of course, to the statement the folks who were involved in that as well. Weve only seen a small portion of these Text Messages and evidence that official government offices that the fbi in washington, d. C. Were used to go after a political candidate based on personal feelings of agents working with on the Hillary Clinton case. So i think were going to see a lot more of that once we see Inspector General report. But question is really going to be what is being done about it . And is there accountability that is put into place because thats what the American People are so frustrated about. Whether its irs going after conservatives, and people like louis lerner walking away with a full pension there are questions about how fbi is being transparent and how theyre actually turning over a new leaf when it comes to making sure their investigations are free of personal political bias. So you think there could be some special investigate counsel fatigue listen, ting that democrats have now got ton precarious position because a lot of focus has shifted back to the handling of Hillary Clinton. Situation well democrats were demanding special kowj and thactd cut both ways. So im not all about investigations to investigate the investigator because when that is like a russian doll never get to the end of it. But there are questions about the accountability and as weve pointed out the i. G. Report is early february and well learn a lot from that. But there will be action taken to make sure that there are consequences for those actions. Ultimate outcome of the mueller case situation you know do you think it would be tainted no matter what . James, and to degree at least in a court of Public Opinion, will it have been worth it . Well i think the struck impeached tax do create a big problem in terms of credibility and i think it adds to the credibility problem jim comey created at the fbi during 2016 campaign. So it is going to be question i also i dont know if mr. Mueller has ever had to answer question of why does he have so Many Political activists on his staff and can you really not find competent lawyers who arent hacks . Thats a big question. Assuming he could. A lot of people are asking that. Next within for katy a new wall street journal poll shows that College Educated women before democrats over gop and 62 to 30 . All right katy now we have seen a shift in recent years, right . What do you think is happening here . Well, well have to see it depends on the election, right. So if theres an economic orn the table women tend to think about those in a way just like men do. But what this does not break down is a difference between single women with College Degrees and married women with with College Degrees, and overwhelmingly single women with College Degrees tend to work for democrats where as married women vote for republicans so the shift in this could be married women actually profell President Trump into the white house. Absolutely. Stlos a split between married and single women. I would make a joke and say well this is what happens when we seeds women to college. Because they learn all about ideas and those are things that you get out of college and use. A Pugh Research report this morning, and you know, republicans in general have frowned more upon College Education than democrats and in part because, you know, the cost associated and return on investment for money theyre putting into 100,000 in a degree so republicans do have some work to do, though, thats for sure. Yeah. At least i think they all admit that too. High fashion vanity fair magazine and a little bit of hot water poking fun at Hillary Clinton. Stay is there katy because we have with more on this coming cp as well. Well, its earnings season once again. Yeah. Lot of Tech Companies are reporting today. And, hows it looking . I dont know. Theres so many opinions out there, its hard to make sense of it all. Well, victor, do you have something for him . Check this out. Td ameritrade aggregates thousands of earnings estimates into a single data point. That way you can keep your eyes on the big picture. Huh. Feel better . Much better. Yeah, me too. Wow, you really did a number on this thing. Sorry about that. Thats alright. I got a box of em. Thousands of opinions. One estimate. The earnings tool from td ameritrade. Start by taking a look at bitcoin one of the big areas not only do they mine it there. But it is huge amongst just average traders so Government Intervention and bitcoin taking it down a little bit. And take a quick lock at gold had are really good week last week and nevertheless creeping closer to that major resistance point and breakout at 1300 a lot of gold bugs are saying what abouts . Okay now this. Theres a train station getting a new name in jerusalem adam l you have those. Israeli minister of transportation building high speed rail are from telaviv if you find you can take the train all the way to gurs jerusalem to a station near the western wall, and that station they proposed to be named after President Trump in honor of what he did few week back with recognizing jerusalem as israel capitol. Didnt get noble peace prize but a face named after. Not 100 picial but thats where they seem to be thanks a lot. Now theres this, tax bill we know is next big time on the agenda for the Trump Administration is this it trillion dollar infrastructure package i want to bring in former ray began economist laugher all right listen lets talk about a couple of things here. First economic boost more obvious in taxes where people are going to see february first, but how do you, how does a Republican Party argue for a trillion dollars in infrastructure and how that impacts everyones everyday life . Well it depends very much in what had the infrastructure is, with charles. If the infrastructure is high ways things that add to productivity a really easy sell if infrastructure is bridges to nowhere i think it will be a real problem but i think trump in this administration can really focus infrastructure make it work. And that would be really great. Its got to be a longterm project, though, you dont want to rush infrastructure. You really dont. You want to make sure it is well thought out done over a long period of time so achieves objective it wants to achieve and then infrastructure can really be a spectacular part of the overall spending program. Do you like the idea of going at it sort of with this three part three prong approach . Federal government ponies perhaps two or 300 sate is or local ponying up and private sector getting them involved that the right sort of mix there . That sounds cool to me to be honest i love Public Private partnerships i really think it is wonderful. I want to make sure they dont do a structural spending and stuff the same reason that w did and obama did to stimulate employment. Infrastructure is not an a employment stimulative unless it is really good products that are being built that will really add value over o the longterm. Just providing jobs to people who are out there is not a good idea it is a very bad idea but provide aring good infrastructure programs and Public Private partnership i think are fantastic. And what the government really is supposed to do. Highways, stadium, all of these things are really important. You are art i went back and i looked back at 19 50us and every year i studied the month to month job changes, and Eisenhower NationalHighway Program didnt necessarily stimulate that. But serge connected to country that brought us to life and thats when we peaked as world number one, you know, greatests share of the world gdp. That was a great, Great Program that iosen, however, did i knew when he was in high school, and he was no just choking. Joking but it did hook america together and it really add to the economic efficiency of this country. The truck aring industry is owes a lot to eisenhower, and a the advantages we did then trump can do Something Like that in infrastructure i think it would be fantastic for years to come. And our governor did a great job on highways. Within for you now art because this is something we thought about you first head coach Greg Popovich had words for those who dont donate to charity. Because we are rich as hell, and we dont need it all and other people need it, and you are a blank you dont give it. Pretty schism. Whats your reaction to that . Are rich obligatedded to give back . I dont think so. I mean you look i think it is whferl rich give to charities a lot of 501c threes out will are not charity but tax dodges a lot of them are, and so thats what they call charity when rich give and they give when they like it is whferl anyone gives it is welfare. And thats what were all about in this society is helping our fellow man, and any way in which we can but i dont think anyone should be shamed into giving or scream at us it if they dont give. It just doesnt makeceps. Remind everyone too were by par the most generous country in the world and given every way phenomenal as a country. With other countries as well. Charles. We give money technology, blood, sweat, toil, weve given everything to rest of the world. You know, for Little Things i think, but thats a different topic. I dont like anyone shaming into doing something. For you the best appreciate it. If thanks charles had yes we have more from that parody video from vanity fair remember any conservative magazine if they were to put Something Like this out it would be blasphemy so we want to react to it, next.
