The stock market reflects your play and your determination. Everybody needs to feel good about these new days. We have a new congress coming in. 2015 could be a good one. Charles i felt like i was on a filibuster out there. The dow up 81 points. Six dow spots making alltime lifetime highs. Home depot. All places for you to spend your money at. We have a strong gdp number. We did have a flat number when it came to business investments. What do you make of it all . Spending and income were good. The housing number may be a little bit of cold water on a fire. That is all it is. Not enough to put the fire out. Do not forget, i know you wanted to talk about it later. It has to be noted right here right now. Charles natural gas. Heating, electricity. That has collapsed. Lets say personal income. Consequently savings went down to 4. 4 . Are we in a position where all of this good stuff does not continue unless we get wage what you justify and was spending was up probably because of the gasoline numbers. You see that triple back in to spending numbers. I see that going forward. They will need to be selling more stock. They will be hiring more people. Wages will have to go up. There is nothing bad about it. A great way to and big year. Charles rates are at or near zero. It is not rates. What will it take for people to reembrace the American Dream . Owning a home was the cornerstone. People dont buy a house, they will never buy stocks. People still do not have enough confidence to invest in the future. That could be possible. What is this telling us . It gets so overheated. I went back 10 years. It is a completely random event that happens in january. You have to look at longerterm. Cheryl another topic. Right now, i want to go to fox news digital editor. I am saying that the president is irrelevant. He is a lame duck. In 2015, that will be one of the good things for the stock market. I think that he would disagree with you. We will know a lot more in the second quarter. He has an agreement with Hillary Clinton that he had the kickoff of the next phase of his executive action phase. He is willing to kick it off they are. He has his cuba deal. There are a lot of initiatives that the president can take. We will see what he does over the first three or four months of the year. Here is the thing. The midterm elections to me spoke loud and clear. It really does not matter at this point. I think hitching his wagon to Hillary Clinton may even be a big mistake. I am no fan of hers, but she certainly knows how to rile up the crowd better than Hillary Clinton. I am really excited about what kind of deals can be done or will they stick with executive orders . The president has hinted several times that he is interested in such a tax deal. Nothing the president has indicated he is interested in. The president has a narrative of the new year. He will be exceedingly liberal. He will be all things to all people. Here is what we absolutely no. This is a president that has largely been affected by events. I would think that with the that case. I would think that that extent of the commitment in afghanistan and all of these things will make the president not only relevant, but it will affect markets and the national discussion. Charles all of those things that you named first of all, i have to tell you. It feels like we are getting out of afghanistan unless ices really starts to revamp itself. I think we have elevated them higher than they had to be with this hacking scandal. Domestically, where does the president have any strength around here . I think they phrase it a little differently. Immigration is going to be enormous. Remember, we get to february and it is so time. That is coming up as well as a series of fiscal cliffs. The president and his deep, deep divide. We read from politico over the weekend a piece that basically said that the president was ensued. That is where we have been before. Charles a cheerful day for all. Back to oil. Sitting around 56. Obviously, you know eight name or two about loyal. This is still the gift that keeps giving. Very bad for the people. Very bad for russia. They do not like this. It makes them struggle as well. There is a lot of talk about why oil is still down. Saudia arabia who is known as a swing producer is overproducing. They are producing 10 billion barrels a day. The motivation, they are trying to drive the high cost thrillers and crackers on business. They have been hammered unmercifully. So dramatically. We do not talk about it. Look at that price. 1. 25. In a few months, it was trading 14. And other volatile market. When they do that, the prices of gasoline go down. You will see it going forward. All good news. You do not expect it to go back above 100 any time soon. Oil was 10. 50 barrels as well. It was not that long ago. I was here one week ago. Trading 73 a share. It is now trading 81 a share. What you just pointed out. Some of the names take you from all aspects of energy. The names are so beaten down. So hard. They are overdone. I think that the street was factoring in junk bonds. Was china actually working with north korea . If they were, does this mean our relationship with beijing is on even thinner ice . We will break it all down. Shes still the one for you.

[ho, ho, ho ] lease the 2015 c300 4matic for 419 month at your local rcedesbenz dealer. Charles they have that thing ready for about one month now. Time now for your morning gold report. Not such big news. Keep in mind, i am sure is you do not need me to tell you this. Not all stocks are winners. Nicole . Biotech index index is one of the great performers. Bestperforming group of 24 came. Today, seeing some profit. The nasdaq in the red. Look at some of these names. There is some heavy selling pressure on this particular group. There could be some profit taking on their way. Dramatic moves to the downside. Energy, consumer stocks, industrials. The number one performer is materials. Healthcare is in the red. Charles thanks a lot, nicole. Appreciate it. Threatening the media with lawsuits if they reprint this stolen information. The printer does not comply. It could. I dont know. Give me a break. Monitoring all of these sites. Something from the sony hacks. Give me a break. And he really chase down everybody . Posting this information and saying you may want to higher your own attorney. Over the weekend i saw a variety of different people from all sides of the spectrum saying, hey, boycott sony. The administration threw them under the bus. Charles they want to sue someone . Go ahead. Go for it. Go find yourself a bunch of unemployed people. You will really sue people now after your Cyber Security was notoriously poor . Charles give me a break. China is denying reports that they did help north korea. Gordon chang joins us. You think north korea and china are inca boots with this. Well, certainly. These hacks did not come from north korea. That is consistent with what technical journals are now reporting. Right now, we do not have consistent proof on this. More than half of the Cyber Warriors are based in china. The icing on the cake is the firewall. We saw it. You had all of this information going out of china crossing the firewall. Terabytes coming back in to china. Those north korean hackers have been there for about one decade. Are these guys just so great that they brought them in to help them out . What is in it for china . That is a great question. China has sort of been using north korea. Charles as proxy. As proxies. We run to beijing and say please, please, please help us. That happens all the time. The chinese just love this. It advances foreignpolicy goals. Charles it is a dangerous game. After all, look at who their leader is. This can backfire on china may be at some point. The North Koreans do not like the chinese. This goes on for 600 years where you have that border moving and both directions. This is only a shortterm play. China does not want refugees flooding and. When north korea has real problems, those refugees will mostly go south to be with other koreans. Not forced in to china where they do not like the chinese and the chinese do not like them.

The forecast it isnt looking good for folks who want to travel for the holidays this week in. Maria molina is in the Weather Center to tell us what facing our out there. Maria this is producing all kinds of travel hit the send one of them is in the form of Severe Weather. We have a tornado watch that was issued a few minutes ago and this includes portions of the gulf coast, louisiana, mississippi and alabama are looking at that record tornadoes. We had multiple 20 Warnings Issued through Morning Hours but those have been lifted and now we are looking at a severe thunderstorm warnings in effect. Were looking at some strong wind gusts associated with storms and the Severe Weather risks will move eastward including portions of florida, george and also extreme southern parts of South Carolina the risks being tornadoes and damaging winds with those storms. We had delays that are piling up at the airport especially across parts of the northeast, new york city delays averaging an hour and a fill the international looking at them averaging 30 minutes but that makes it a lot worse as we head into tomorrow with at storm system intensifying and impact portions of the eastern United States and showers and thunderstorms and areas of heavy rain, heavy in some locations that we could be looking at more than six inches of rainfall across portions of the southeast so we do also have a flash flood threat in place out there. Number of what is in effect across the southeastern United States. Otherwise the other concern is strong winds. On the backside of the storm system portions of the upper great lakes and also the midwest are going to be looking at snowfall totals generally half a foot in some of the heaviest snow bands but you will be looking at that White Christmas for some of view across portions of the greek lakes and the new storm arrives as we head into wednesday, this would impact in portions of the pacific northwest. Lets get to you . Charles we all know pope francis doesnt shy away from speaking his mind but you wont believe what he told a group of Church Leaders days before christmas. Up next, why he thinks some top Church Officials are suffering from spiritual alzheimers. You dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. Thanks. [ male announcer ] fedex® has solutions to able Global Commerce that can help your company grow steadily and quickly. Great job. mandarin cut it out. See you tomorrow. Charles check it out, the dow, a long time to oil down 50 bucks. And some equilibrium here, levels to see gas prices dropping and dropped another 0. 02 overnight, 2. 37. We have 28 states with one station has gas below 2 a gallon. Look at that map. And at westering convenience in colorado. Strong words from of the pope. A 15 point catalog of spiritual diseases, Liz Macdonald is our resident catholic. The holy father took the words of these guys. No Christmas Card from of a pope to the vatican bureaucracy, which is 3,000 strong. A withering critique, he blasted them, sharply criticized as them. He said they are power and glory clerics guilty of coldblooded killing the reputation of their own colleagues engaging in satanic assassination of peoples good teams, looking obsessively at their own image, Walking Around feeling in more land in the june and he is saying enough is enough, time to stop. Charles kardashian household. Liz he cites the spiritual emptiness he is seeing in the curio. No academic degrees can fill. Really sharp words. Charles are these the same polk they lifted him. Liz lifted him to the job. Hes an outsider. He didnt historically worked in round and seeking to restore it with a coterie of individuals that might change the Catholic Church and start at your own kitchen table. Charles i dont agree with everything the pope has said so far but this pope has been so electric and my wife is a catholic also and i also see the ministers and her church and you feel the vibrancy, the use are coming back. For someone to do that is an example of leadership. We dont see that in american politics. That kind of leadership to dress down your own intelligence 3. Liz still waiting for that in cyclical freedom and democracy, blasting communism, the evils of socialism as well. Maybe we will see that from the pope next year. Before i tell you what, you have to admire the man no matter what, no matter what you feel about what he said. Liz he has a heart of gold and it was striking when he installed showers for Homeless People to clean themselves in vatican city, that was striking. And reaching out across the world. And we we see more from the pope in 2014, yes. Time magazine was right to pick him last year. Charles facing a republican majority, at this moment not only is he a lame duck but irrelevant in his final two years in office. Julie woods in ski has gone and he just went and did it. It is a lame duck session, killed of the majority, and continue to do this. He looks a little liberated. Now no longer has to worry about running for reelection carrying congress. Charles to your point he is doing a lot of things but ultimately run into serious opposition. Wont get everything he wants of any of these things he is pushing through against the will of the law, the will of the people, for me i thought he was a lame duck a long time ago to be quite frank with you, what did he get through other than his signature achievement which is falling apart at the seams. Liz you cant say he is governing like an emperor and then say charles how many executives as he put out . I dont know but the president ial memorandum, executive orders, we cant liz they are the same thing. Of course they are. I dont know what the number is. Liz more than president gw. Charles the bottom line is he is trying to govern as an imperial stick president and that hasnt worked, it hasnt worked for the party or the country and i do think there was a message sent in november whether he chooses to ignore it or not is his prerogative but nevertheless i do feel as someone we think his goal is to get things done unless he finds a way to put his ego aside. He rode the thing of the pope wrote, he might have to sit in a row by himself and look at it. The pope doesnt surrender, at the job for life and can tell everybody to go scratch and he is argentinian and you speak to him in his own language. That was very nice. In a language that he knows. To some extent look at the market. The market is a record high, the biggest job growth since 1999. If mitt romney had won you would have said was because of mitt romney. Charles i am telling people for the first time china would give about 50 . They carry the worlds economy for the first four years out of recession and 40 as the profits from outside. Glad you are giving it to the chinese. Stuart whoever is buying our cars buy more cars than we do, they buy more General Motors cars and General Motors stock goes up they deserve it. And why dont we buy more cars. We have a record amount of job markets and a record amount of people on food stamps and a record amount of people who are completely discontent. Biggest job growth since 1999. And construction of the job. If you are happy with a whole bunch of things. Im not happy. The market has gone through the roof. 90 of voters didnt theyre working parttime jobs and are in trouble. Lets talk about the republicans. A lot of infighting. Rand paul, marco rubio, round 1, let them go at it. The annual festival thing, and a large part of what you do, they sell from close but repeated to shreds and the eventual nominee. It made obama stronger at general election candidate, and helps Hillary Clinton if the coasts the nomination. Charles 2014, it has been a great year for technology and 2015 could be even better. According to favor to the company will break down the top tech trend for 2015. Could protect you from cancer . What if one push up could prevent Heart Disease . One. Wishful thinking, right .
