Maria company head of investment strategist hank smith, also joining the conversation all morning long fox business Dagen Mcdowell and professor of business and economics at the Kings College in manhattan Fox News ContributorBrian Brenberg. Great to see everybody this morning. Thank you so much for being here. Hank, let met kick it off with you, it did miss slightly on the eps but looks like it was a good quarter, the consumer you have to put in perspective how its done since pandemic and lockdowns began. Its been a clear winner. As your colleague noted up 33 year to date. So, look its buy on the rumor, sell on the news, i think everyone knew it was going to be a great quarter and the top line absolutely outstanding. Perhaps the increase in covid expenses, we saw that yesterday with home depot in terms of an inaccuracy in employee compensation. That might have had to do with the epfs coming in line with expectations as opposed to a beat. But, look, lowes is in the retail category of the haves and in terms of retail investing, you have never had a more clear picture between the haves and the have nots as and an investor and longterm investor you want to be in the haves and ignore the have nots which are a lot of the brick and mortar retailers but have had a little bounce in here but we would avoid those. What does it say about the broader economy, though . Jay powells covid19 warning was pretty telling. The Federal Reserve telling that coronavirus poses risk to economy and ability to control the virus. Hank, what do you think jay powells warning tell us about where we are in the recovery . A little perspective. The fed has underestimated this economy consistently and i think perhaps theyre doing so now. Corporate america has learned very quickly how to deal with deal with this virus and operate very well. Now main street is a little bit behind that and main street is unfortunately has been more impacted by this virus. Hopefully, maria, we do not go back to the extreme lockdowns that we saw back in late march, april and may in which governors arbitrarily deemed certain businesses nonessential and over businesses essential. I think all businesses are essential and we are hoping we dont go back to those extreme lockdowns and rather just targeted lockdowns. In any event, do not underestimate the consumer even if we have an increase in this virus through the winner of, i think, we are learning to live with it and we are not too far away from the end of this with the distribution of effective and accepted vaccines. Maria even yesterday we saw the retail Sales Numbers slightly easier than or weaker than expected, hank, whats your outlook for the 2021 period given that we could potentially have the two vaccines before the end of the year, something that President Trump told us to expect, but here we have a market that is trading on what feels like a slowing of the economy. You look at the numbers this morning, you look at the retail sales number out yesterday. You look at the market reaction, i think the market is telling you because the market is an anticipatory machine and we are very soon going to see a vaccine thats effective, accepted and when that happens youre going see Consumer Confidence soar unleashing a massive buildup of pinned up demand and you will see soar higher. Maria okay, we will leave it there. Thank you so much for weighing in this morning. Thank you. Maria we will see you soon, hank smith. Morning mover is tesla, getting another jolt after Morgan Stanley raised to 540 a share. Closing 8 yesterday to the news that it would be added to s p 50, the stock up another 3 on tesla.

Plus arizona congressman andy biggs on where the investigations into rusha gate and hunter biden if joe biden takes the white house. Dont miss a moment of it. Mornings with maria live on fox business. Maria now this, from georgia 2700 more ballots discovered in fayett county, georgia, 2600 ballots were found in floyd county on monday. Joe biden maintains a lead by nearly 13,000 votes meanwhile in michigan wayne county board of canvassers certified the county votes overnight. Reversal from decision. Conduct a, quote, comprehensive audit of all unexplained precincts around the country. Joining more to talk about that robbie suave. Robbie, thank you very much for joining us. There were two democrats and two republicans who were overseeing whether or not to certify the results and when they had a standoff, they were not going to certify the results because all of this unexplained ballot situation, they were attacked and criticized, so they rolled over and said, okay, we will certify the results, whats your reaction . Right, i think that erases some confidence in the decision to certify it when initially they said, no, we are not going to do it, we think there are issues here and then theres an outpouring of Public Comments, negative, harassing, intimidating comments that causes them to change their minds, so that, you know, that tells you something. That said, its still, even if that is a little bit fishy and even if theres some other irregularities this certainly need looking into, it looks very, very to my mind difficult to say michigan could possibly go the other way, could go into the trump column, the margin is so high and thats the broader problem the president s team is running into and even if you can chip away at joe bidens lead in some states, you need to do this, you know, thousands more times to get tens of thousands more votes in multiple states which is just obviously not going to happen. Maria yeah, well, Rudy Giuliani obviously taking over the campaigns lawsuit in pennsylvania. Hes arguing during a hearing yesterday that hundreds of thousands of ballots should not be considered and the States Election results should not be certified. He talked to us about this yesterday and how far the campaign plans to take the efforts, take a listen. Somewhere around 700,000 ballots were counted in secret, the republican the republican watchers which is what theyre called in pennsylvania, were literally kept in corals and then locked out, some of them roughed up a little bit, this would be our first established vehicle on our way to the Supreme Court and i should say second. The one in michigan, even though the certification went ahead, that case is also another vehicle to go to the Supreme Court. So now we have two. Shortly we will have wisconsin and soon georgia and then we will have 3 more, the ones i just mentioned to you are drafted and ready to go. Maria so robbie, what youre saying, yes, we have all of these irregularities but its not going to be enough trump votes that come out that actually overturns the election, is that what you just said . Yeah, i mean, thats just with looking at it, the margin is just, you know, its tens of thousands of votes in several states and when we see what happens in georgia where we do find 2700 more votes, and i get it thats tremendously frustrating that mistakes of that magnitude are made but then you the situation, okay, trump picks up 500 votes, is this are there 25 more times this is going to happen which is what it would need to do to overturn georgia and then you need another state to flip, it just seems not likely. With the pennsylvania issue. I see the point, that it seems bad for the integrity of the election, for the democracy that republican watchers were kept at such a distance, but but thats an argument of doing it that way and i certainly understand it. I think you will have a hard time demonstrating to a court that because that was done the, you are going to say all the people who voted, your vote is thrown out or not counted because of that. Maria right. Robbie, let me is you real quick before you go. Given all of the new ballots that were found in georgia, do you worry that there will also be irregularities in upcoming january 5th senate races in georgia . Certainly, and thats why why looking into this process right now and figuring things out is so important. The election is not over there. So absolutely this should continue to be looked at, thats a significant issue and the mistakes that have been made so far are embarrassing and need to be corrected while probably not changing the outcome of the president ial race. Maria all right, robbie, great to see you this morning. Thank you. Maria coming up canceled culture in action.

Maria welcome back canceled culture is in action a new petition at Harvard University is looking to ban former Trump Administration officials from teaching, speaking or even attending the university because of their association with President Trump. If any association is made at the school, it must, quote, create and share with students transparent phone guidelinesr why. Several leaders alexandria ocasiocortez encouraged listmaking of people who aided President Trump in time in office. Brian brenberg, youre a harvard alum what do you think about that . Brian the fact is Trump Administration officials have been involved in some of the most important issues from an Economic Perspective and Foreign Policy perspective that we have ever seen. Why would you want to give up the opportunity to hear from those individuals. If you dont agree, then ask tough questions, thats okay, you can ask tough questions but to shut yourself off from that opportunity is ridiculous and these students just arent ready for college. Fact if theyre not ready for this, they should stay home and do Something Else until they are ready to go to college and explore ideas. Dagen brian, youre describing you utopia in college, they have spent years and what has come out in part is violence that is targeted at conservatives out in public squares out in public streets. Its all part of that. An effort to they dehumanized a conservative to the point that they dont see, i said this on the five monday, they only see someone who needs to be shut down and now even injured because these individuals, these leftwing liberals dont agree with conservatives. It is very dangerous where we are in this country. And it speaks to not just students and trump former officials but what about the 73 Million People that had the guts to go out and vote despite being shamed ridiculed privately and publicly, i think the left is missing something because theres going to be an uprising and im not talking about violence but im talking about more and more people standing up for the right to speak and standing up for right to have an opinion, a conservative opinion and standing up for their right to vote for whomever they see fit. Maria its pretty incre
