Good morning. Good morning. Lauren were in the sweet spot or so it seems, Interest Rates low, taxes low, republican held senate. Whats your take . I think all of those things come into play and youre right. You have Interest Rates that are basically in a box, they cant be risen because of international flows or basically at zero overh overseas. Weve had a lot of stimulus. Were looking at at 178 to 180 in terms of earnings and that might be low, based on where margins are and you had a couple head winds last year, the gm strike and boeing which is the largest exporter. So a lot of things are being discounted on good news right now. So lets see how the year plays out. Lauren and what sectors or stocks in specific would you advise for 2020 investments . Were going to start looking at the industrials in a bigger way. A lot of the sickly cyclical a, business dont do that well. The economy was driven by the consumer. The consumer still will be there this year. Youll be looking at industrials starting to pick up in a bigger way. Look at boeing, our largest exporter, that should see a pop right there. Lauren the manufacturing contraction, the manufacturing recession that weve seen, that ends or continues . I think its going to end. You have overseas starting to pick up and 35 of the s ps profits come from overseas. So youll see a pickup in europe as well as china. Lauren ill take it. Do you think speaking of china. Ems like were in a trade truce now. Do you think it stays this way between now and november or do we try to pay for phase one and get to phase two and three and so on . Right now theyre writing out the specifics and youre translating it. Youll get an understanding of where were going but youre going to start phase two. In terms of phase one, we should having written by the end of the month and the chinese have been very quiet. In doing that, it means were going to end up probably having something right now that gets signed. Lauren all quiet on the trade front. Lets talk about the decade of debt as we wrap up the decade. The National Debt has hit a record 23 trillion this year. If you break that down, thats 70,000 for you and for me and for cheryl and everybody. Thats crazy. It seems to be getting worse not better. What do we need to do to change this . How worried are you . In terms of Interest Rates being low, that helps. Looking at the amount of debt were paying on right now, the debt coverage ratios are okay. As long as Interest Rates stay low we should be all right. It will be a problem when it becomes a problem, when rates get higher, probably around 5 . Lauren its amazing that the National Debt keeps going you up. The republicans are supposed to be monitoring this, saying lets cut the spending. Its not happening. Not at all. Politicians want to go forward and have a spending bill in terms of putting infrastructure in place and a couple other things that might ad to it. Lauren does tesla go private . I dont believe it does. Its too much debt. Theyll end up being 12 billion in debt this year. Cheryl we have a lot more coming up this morning. How much information is too much . We have details on amazons plan to know you better than the back of your hand. And this is something straight out of the x files.

It would identify users by surface characteristics of their palm. This is not their first attempt at a payment system, with the launch of Convenience Stores without needing a checkout. Germaphobes i think would be happy with amazon. Lauren thats a very good point. Possibility or pipedream . Cheryl very possible. 100 . Eye scans are happening at airports. Its happening, folks. Lauren biometrics are out there. A mystery taking shape in colorado and he nebraska as large swarms of drones between 17 and 30, theyve been seen flying between the hours of 7 0e december 23rd. The drones are estimated to have a six foot wing span and stay between 200 and 300 feet in the air. One local Sheriffs Office says the swarm seems to be flying in a grid search pattern, moving on once a certain area is covered. So far, no one has taken credit for the drones, with the local police, airport, dea and u. S. Army all denying that the drones are theirs. The faa said they do not know where the drones are coming from. Do you know . Cheryl no, i do not. Thank you for asking. I think its actually its probably a group of probably younger kids who are good with drones and theyre probably trying to do whether its a show or formation or whatever theyre trying to do but i have a feeling its a regular group of folks.

She said she took the oxygen mask from the assistance and putting it on her dog of. She said she fired him for not finding the incident funny. Theres viral backlash against her for those documents. Lauren an outoftouch celebrity, thats what im going to go for in in this instance. We have green arrows across the screen as we wind down 2019, dow up 20, nasdaq up 5 5 this morn. Could president obama step back into Public Service . If one president ial candidate has his way, you might see him on the Supreme Court. We have the biggest scandals of 2019 coming up next on fbn a. M. Cheryl heres is your morning cheat sheet, the top headlines to get you through the day. The pentagon releasing an a image of u. S. Air strikes hitting hezbollah militants in iraq and syria in response to rocket attacks that killed an American Contractor last week. The nypd will increase their presence in jew communities jewish communities in the wake of a stabbing inside a rabbis home. The yo attack left five people hurt. Tomorrow is new years eve but the ball will drop today over new yorks times square. Officials will conduct a test drop right at noon eastern time. Its got 32,000 lights and it will create billions of different patterns as it drops. Lauren Bernie Sanders makin tg about his longtouted medicare for all plan. What i want to tell you is we are putting into medicare for all what we call a Just Transition program which will help everybody in the industry for a fiveyear period maintain their income, get their job training that they need to get another job of. I think thats the fair and right thing to do. Okay. Lauren the vermont senators was forced to address the issue during a rally in New Hampshire on saturday l. Saturday. Elizabeth warren has also embraced the plan. Some say it could result in a loss of 2 million jobs. Did you hear this . Joe biden said he would consider nominating former president barack obama to the Supreme Court if he wins the white house. Bidens was responding to a question at a Campaign Stop over the weekend in washington, iowa. Bidens comments coming even though he hasnt been for mallly endorsed by president obama, his former boss. So if biden is elected and does nominate obama to the Supreme Court, the former be president would only be the second person in history to be both commander in chief and a Supreme Court justice. Cheryl joe biden was once again the r target of heckles and insults during a rally in milford, New Hampshire last night. This is a democracy. [ indiscernible ] golly, i hope it does. I hope it does. Let her go. Let her go. Cheryl biden spent his weekend backtracking on comments he made about not complying with a Senate Subpoena to testify, this as republican senators are inching toward having a no witness impeachment trial. Here to talk about ought of this is the president of freedom works, republican strategist, adam brandon and democratic strategist laura fink are both here. Great to have you both here. Great to be here. Cheryl i want to start with you, laura, on this. Theres been a lot of talk that if joe biden ends up the nominee, that the hunter biden story is going to do nothing but plague him and this could be a political negative for him. We know that was by design and President Trump went overseas to even make sure that that happened. And so this is a plant like this quid pro joe, thats a plan in a nutshell. I know this becaus i because i n campaigns. This is probably all happening by design. I think joe biden is handling it pretty well. Cheryl what do you think this means for President Trump, the talk about a no witness trial in the senate seems to be a better option for the president. Chuck schumer is pushing for witnesses. He wants to see john bolton and mick mulvaney, among others. In the house impeachment you needed 51 of the votes to proceed. The senates a different animal. You need twothirds or 67 votes to impeach the president and right now i dont see any t path forward for 67 votes. So i think what Mitch Mcconnell rolled out is lets get through this as quickly as possible, constitutionally we have to take the charges but its up to him to figure out what the struck your chur churro be. I think this will be a quick trial and this will be over within weeks of it moving from the house to the t senate because i dont see a path forward of 67 votes to remove the president. Cheryl we still dont have the articles of impeachment from the house sent to the senate. Nancy pelosi is you waiting. Theres now discussions that she could add more articles, that possibility has been floated out there. What do you make of her i think maneuvering i guess is a good word to call it. I dont think she would deny that. Its a question of who do you choose to prosecute the case. You cant do that until you have the rules. Shes waiting for Mitch Mcconnell to set the rules. Hes waiting for some of the republicans to settle in. You have susan come links and troy Gardner Collins and troy gardner in swing states. Theres going to be noise made by swing state republicans running for reelection. Cheryl Lisa Murkowski said she found it disturbing that Mitch Mcconnell would work with the white house. Thats true. Adam, lets move on to the issue of other candidates. Were about a month away from iowa. Theres fund raising problems for Elizabeth Warren. She raised 17 million in the fourth quarter. Thats only a third of what the fourth quarter. Thats a third of what she pulled in in the third quarter. Now shes looking for smaller donations. Is she still do you think a threat to the republicans . Absolutely. A absolutely. She may have peaked too early. She was just on a tear there for a little while. But remember, iowa is a very close its a very grass roots election in these caucuses so i could easily hold her on if not even win iowa. Even if she doesnt win and she has a good strong showing, just remember, the rules changed a little bit in the democratic primary. You start with iowa but just about a month later you have california and california just has so many votes. Theyre going to be critical for the democratic primary. She could have if she does well in iowa and surges in california, she is right back in this race. Cheryl Pete Buttigieg has spent a lot of money in iowa, weve seen some polls showing hes strengthening, not in all, but in some. Some say Elizabeth Warren has a strongly run campaign and thats her thats going to be a good thing for her in iowa. But buttigieg seems an outlier. Hes a more moderate guy. Shes done a little bit of a dip. Biden and buttigieg would like to hit her numbers. Shes on pace to raise 20 million. I think her organization is on the ground and its fierce. Its fierce in california, a huge state. Shes doing really well and she knows what shes doing. The Grass Roots Campaign will continue. Cheryl its fascinating to watch. As we look ahead to iowa, New Hampshire, its game on for 2020 and politics. Who do you think on the democratic side has the strongest chance from a wall street perspective. I ask you that because were a Business Network and theres a lot of folks on wall street who donate to democratic campaigns who are nervous about sanders and warren. They should be. The leading candidate is called brokered convention. Its hard for me to see someone breaking out of the pack right now. And that means you go towards go to the convention and this person will be picked in milwaukee this summer. That being said, if i was wall street, id be waiting to see who is going to get the nominee. For wall street its scary because the Democratic Party is moving farther to the left, more taxes and the rest. Cheryl every time somebody brings up brokered convention on our show they have a twinkle in their eye. Like youre rooting for it or something. Cheryl its going to be great. Adam and laura, thank four beinr being here. Lauren as 2020 aapproachs, we take a look back at this years biggest scandals. Cheryl we have more on the top controversial headlines of 2019.

In new york answerl, fox news. Lauren the dow, nasdaq and s p 500, which by the way is riding the best year since 1997, up this morning. Look at the nasdaq, just down 1 point this morning. Well continue to monitor that for you. Fearing the checkout after your checkup, youre not alone. Why americans are paying the heftiest prices in the world for healthcare. And farmers throwing a wrench in one major point of aocs green new deal, well have details ahead on fbn a. M. Stop dragging my. Stop dragging my. Stop dragging my heart around. Fun fact 1 in 4 of us millennials have debt we might die with. And most of that debt is actually from credit cards. Its just not right.

Lauren the International Federation of health plans which represents ceos of Health Insurers worldwide said americans are paying far more than most other countries for healthcare. In one example, americans play 32,000 for an a angioplasty whe playing 6400 in the netherlands. Why are americans paying so much more . Lets bring in dr. Neshua. Thank you for joining us. Good morning. Lauren its the obvious question, that healthcare is better in the u. S. , thats why its more expensive, or is that an incorrect statement . Well, that may be part of the reason. But what it comes down to, lauren, is its a Fragmented Network of Health Insurance companies. Theres no standard. Theres no federal oversight. They can charge as much as they want. And for different prices for different services. Theres a lack of transparency. Prices are going up but the services are staying the same and nobody knows what everybody costs in advance and thats why people are upset. Theyre getting Surprise Medical Bills in the mail and its putting them into financial ruin. On top of that, hospitals have to increase their prices to make up for their losses and the debt they incur for those patients who are uninsured and then we have to deal with those who have chronic diseases, that accounts for a huge increase in healthcare cost such as Heart Disease and diabetes and that sort of thing. Lauren should the government play a bigger role here as many on the left are advocating for . We might need a little bit of oversight. For example, the country of norway, they spend a third of what we spend here on healthcare. Their government sets benchmarks for standard of care and standard pricing throughout the country. So that theyre able to take care of their citizens without putting the citizens into financial ruin. But on top of that, what we have in america that they dont have in other countries is lots of waste, administrative cost, fraud and frivolous lawsuits and liabilities and then on top of that, a lot of he research is conducted by major hospitals in this country and that research requires funding, requires money. So thats why some of the costs are higher, in addition, hospitals and Healthcare Providers that are in rural parts of america, sometimes they have to charge interest and raise the prices just to stay afloat and to make up for the lack of business in that community. So lots of factors that play a role here. I think one of the he key points is, we have to have transparency and know what we are paying for, what exactly is the cost, because if we have transparency, that gives patients choices and options and that will hopefully drive down prices through competition. Lauren i know, i think a lot of us have sticker shock when we see that bill. All right. There is such a thing called blue monday. Its the third monday in the month of january. Sure. Lauren why do we get depressed in january . So this happens, its real, its not a myth. Its whats called seasonal affective disorder. And what happens is theres a lack of sunslight. When we go outside, the sun hits our skin and a it provides us with hormones, vitamins and minerals we need to help us function, keep our mood stable, keep us happy and healthy. When that happens, when theres a lat of sunlight, when its gloomy outside, that can change the way we feel, it can change our mood. Then on top of that, we have all these sweets during the holidays, so people eat sugars and carbs and blood sugar spikes up and it goes down and they crash. That can have a negative impact on mood and cause inflammation in the body. The good thing is, lauren, there are things we can do to help tackle it. Very simple things. The most important, in my opinion, is to stay active. Exercise, because remember, those happy hormones, happy endorphins that are released when we exercise, so stay active, go outside, go for a walk, watch what you eat and see your doctor if youre not feeling very well. Lauren thank you very much. Cheryl. Cheryl we have green as for the dow, nasdaq and s p. Nasdaq is up 1 andahalf.

This obviously cost you a piece of business. But staying open on Christmas Day, you had always told these folks that they could work but it was completely volunteer, there was no pressure. They seemed pretty happy to come in, though. Yes, they did. Yeah, correct. Im the general manager, not the owner. Cheryl sorry about that. Yeah, everybody was super excited, colby does a really good job with the social aspects of it so its grown. Weve gone doing it for five years. Each year its grown a little bit more in each way and it just all came out at once this year and a here we are now. Cheryl lets her hear about te day, Christmas Day for these folks. You were going to be hope 4 00 p. M. Until 9 00 p. M. All of a sudden the phones just go crazy and people started ordering pizza after pizza after pizza, it sounds like to support the employees there. It was amazing. We let the employees set the hours and the restrictions as far as if theyre going to do dinein or carryout. Its their rodeo. Rob let me know he wanted to do carryout from 4 00 until 9 00. I posted about it and people were like can we preorder. I said rob, what do you want to do about that. He said they could start calling at 3 00. And they did. They started calling at 3 0. Cheryl oh, my gosh. How do you top this next year, rob . Weve got a year to plan for it, like always. And if its anything like we think its going to be, you know, well have much more staff and we may add a few elements. Cheryl and colby, before i let you go, i do want to ask you, being a Small Business owner in this country, how a has business been for you in general, besides the Christmas Day fireworks that you had . Overall, how is business for you, colby . I mean, its pretty good. Its like anything else. Ebbs and flows. Its a roller coaster ride. I married into it. Its not necessarily my first choice. Im a planner. Its nice to know like budget and what youre going to have each week and when you own your own business you cant do that but my husband is more of a gambler in that way. But its been pretty good. Our shop is very community he focused and we give back a lot to the community. Its sort of its just what we do. We are just led to do that and were lucky enough that we have a lot of support from our community in return, so we were super excited about how they stepped up and loved on our employees. It felt really good. Cheryl looking back, what is the best part do you think about not just the year but about Christmas Day . You must be smiling about just the overwhelming support you got from the community. Thats got to feel good. Right. That was like just a great Christmas Present in itself, the support. I mean, aside from the great money as well, it was just it was nice to be recognized by the community, you know, that we work for day in, day out, to provide a very good service. Cheryl yeah. Colby, ive got to ask you, i guess next year, do you still open from just 4 00 to 9 00. If you open up for the whole day, the employees if you did this again next year, theyre going to get more money, more than 700 each. No pressure. We will do whatever they want. I mean, it is Christmas Day is the one day i dont worry about the schedule and we dont worry about any of that. We give it to robbie and he takes off and he tells us and he will figure out who wants to work and build it from there. We will support them and do whatever they want. Cheryl colby and rob, its a great so story. Thank you so much for coming on fox business this morning and its great what you did for your folks, of course from brownsburg, indiana.
