Bottom line message, dont be afraid. Reince priebus will be his chief of staff, he Knows Congress and will guide trumps policies through, and reassuring for investors. A phone call with chinas president xi, and afterwards trump said they will have the strongest of relationships and leaders of canada and mexico okayed talks about nafta. How about this, the first meeting as president elect with nig nig nigel farrage, europeans are mortified. The democrats are bitterly divided. Far left congressman Keith Ellison is one name mentioned for replacement for disgraced dnc chair Donna Brazile and and protesters want to delegitimize Donald Trumps presidency. And a week ago, Hillary Clinton was expected to be the next president. Welcome to the trump era. Varney company is about to begin. When youre caught between the moon and new york city i know its crazy, but its true i couldnt believe i could speak already. Let that song run on. Look at the remarkable super moon. Do you see it, guys . Its the largest moon since the year i was born, 1948. Theres an omen right there, boys, i tell you. Well not get another one like it until 2034. Youll have one more shot to see it tonight, and it will actually be bigger than it was last night. Tonight is the night, folks. Ashley start howling. Stuart ahooh. I should try to resist howling at the moon. In case you missed it, donald trump gave his first post election interview with 60 minutes. Here are highlights. Roll tape. I would tell them dont be afraid, absolutely. Thats not what youre saying, i said it no, no, im saying it, dont be afraid and i say stop it. If it helps. I will say this, and ill say it right to the cameras. Stop it. Are you going to take the salary, the president s salary. Ive never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think i have to by law take 1 so ill take 1 a year awe maybe win the election, obviously it didnt work, because we are here and theyre not and i think my strongest asset is my temperament. I have a temperament where we win. Stuart we will, of course, have more on that throughout the days program. First, trump announcing two of his top appointees, on the far left, not politically, but on the lefthand side of the screen. Rnc chair Reince Priebus, hell serve as chief of staff and steve bannon chief strategist and counsellor. Look who is back fresh from his victory, this is jeff dewitt. Thanks, stuart, for me me. Stuart let me see if ive got it right about Reince Priebus. He Knows Congress. It seems that mr. Trump will say, get them to give me a tax cut plan, a deregulation plan and obamacare plan and put it on my desk. Its very, very nice coming in for us, not having the political experience, to have someone like that, that Knows Congress, that can guide bills and measures through. Stuart thats what hes for. Absolutely. Stuart he wants these three things and more from congress and hes going to tell Reince Priebus to get it. And our campaign had a Good Relationship with the rnc, worked well with reince. Stuart in the end. They did a good job and a degree of unpleasantness, but sorted it out. Theyve been a pleasure to work with, even steve and reince, you can say theyre different from each other, but they really coalesced as a team and if you look, certainly in the last few weeks, they traveled around with mr. Trump together. Stuart and whats steve ban nongoing to do. Chief strategist and chief counsellor. I think similar to what he was doing in the campaign. Hes a very, very smart man. Stuart well, he spins the message, doesnt he . With the messaging, and some of the things that, you know, some of the different ways that we would go about getting some of our message across. Hes a very creative guy. Stuart is he Donald TrumpsValerie Jarrett . He is a confidante. I would say hes very much in the circle, as reince. But mr. Trump bounces ideas off all of us. What people dont realize, he listens a lot. Stuart have you spent much time with him over the weekend. Ive seen him. Hes doing great. Theres a lot of work to do, you guys must have gone out and partied the amazing thing is now, with the transition and everything, we have 70 days to basically get all the positions in place and start running government. Theres a lot of work to do, so hes a very hard working guy. I think he said on 60 minutes, he doesnt take vacations. Right. Stuart hes not going to do that. Mr. Trump is the most impressive individual in my life when it comes to work ethic. He works, he barely sleeps, hes go, go, go, very high energy and gets things done, which is what we need in washington. I dont expect it see him taking the vacations that his predecessor said. Hes a worker and he can outwork a 25yearold. Stuart let me offer congratulations, the first time or second time since the election. U were me a week ago you going to win, were you . Always felt like it, but every time i turned on the tv said we didnt have a shot. I was sure. Stuart i didnt think you were going to be win. To be honest with you, no, last monday i thought Hillary Clinton was going to be. I tell you this, secret sauce in the campaign. We really had a great ground game and had our act together. Every time we turned on the tv, they didnt think we did. We didnt want to tell them, but we had a lot more going on than people gave us credit for. Stuart jeff dewitt, you sly dog. Thank you. Stuart a record close for the dow. There you see it. Its the 11th of this calendar year, 18847. That means were what, 152 points and change away from dow 19,000. Well keep an eye on it for you today because were going up at the opening bell. How about the price of oil. Whoa. 42 a barrel now. Thats interesting. Oil down, but stocks keep going up. And how about this one, too. The yield on the 10year treasury is at 10. 20 . That means that Interest Rates up, but stocks up as well. Very unusual situation. Oil down, stocks up, rates are up, stocks up. You dont see that that often. How about samsung . Maybe they want to change the subject, but theyre buying into the Electronics Company harmon international, 8 billion. Samsung wants to get into the car business. Harmon, of course, going straight up. Lets get to the democrats. Former clinton insider, doug schoen says the party, the democrats taking a hard left turn. Watch this. I think this was a complete repudiation of the party that i belong to and now the party appears potentially to be moving further left, which i think is a profound mistake. Stuart well, theres some evidence for that. One of the leading candidates for the dnc chair is that gentleman on the left. That would be keith elseson, congressman ellison. Tammy bruce, congressman ellison is way out on the left. Hes a socialist. He has the support of elizabeth warren, Bernie Sanders and amazingly, chuck schumer, senator schumer. There are issues and relationship with care and the dynamic, everything we havent liked about about the democrats, the recognizing the enemy and radical islam. And somebody who needs to drop right now tim kaine. Why not a tim kaine. Its interesting the extremism. Stuart he wasnt a wild success as a veep was he . Theres no real great option for them. You dont have to go to the extreme left. A lot of people have left and thats why the independent is so important these days. Youve got for the democrats the moderate normal people have left and what theyre now trying to do is appeal to the more extreme elements. This is going to be the death ne knell for the party. Going further to the left means theyll lose more power and become irrelevant. Stuart that looks like where theyre going. Let us have the genuine democratic party, schriver and kennedy, where they had their finger on the pulse of the people. Stuart good luck with that. Eventually, out of the ashes. Stuart ive got to bring this to our audiences attention. A powerful magnitude 7. 8 earthquake hit new zealand over the weekend. Damaged buildings, two dead. Hundreds of aftershocks, some as large as 6. 2. Its the largest quake since 2009, the one that wrecked christchurch. And donald trump meeting facetoface with nigel farrage. He led the brits. This is the first meeting since being elected, and its farrage. Europeans are apoplectic about this. And the chicago cop tweeted out a video. The spread that donald trump laid out at trump tower for the cops. Another Football Player sitting out the anthem. Buccaneers wide receiver evans says hell protest until further notice because of trumps election and i believe hes going to walk into the yes, well hes not walking into the studio right now. Thats him, willie robinson, duck dynasty guy. Whats his take on the lefts outrage over trumps big win. Hes on the show in about two minutes. Well be back. When they thought they should westart saving for retirement. Le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. This gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us arent prepared for retirement. Just start as early as you can. Its going to pay off in the future. If we all start saving a little more today, well all be better prepared tomorrow. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Look at this. Thats a wildfire outside of los angeles. From moments ago. No, no, thats live now. Sorry about that. Thats live pictures, quite some fire which by the way just started. All right. Despite calls for unity from both sides, many on the left are just apoplectic over the election of donald trump. Theyre attacking oprah, can you believe . Oprah tweeted this, everybody take a deep breath. Hope lives. Theyre being nasty to her in tweets thereafter. Look who is here, willie robertson, the author of the new book american fib fisherman and from duck dynasty. Im told that officers in new york city and in los angeles, the sons of daughters of the rich and their officers are crying hysterically over this election. Theyre sad. Stuart sad . Ive got messages, theyre crying. Theres no crying in politics. No, man. Its not going to change anything. Weve got four years, so, i mean, its a marathon, not a sprint, they need to its pathetic, people in their 30s crying. They run a whole office and theyre crying in public . That doesnt surprise me. I havent cried over an election. Stuart you cried over an election . No. Stuart youve never cried period. No, i dont cry. I dont cry over an election. I cry sometimes, but certainly not over politics and elections and, yeah, theyre sad and im sure because the media said theres no chance this was going to happen and it happened. So, they dont know how to deal with it and i want your reaction to the tampa bay, i think hes a wide receiver name is mike evans. He sat out the National Anthem to protest Donald Trumps election and listen to what he had to say afterwards. Roll tape. I dont want to, you know, disrespect, you know, the veterans or anything, the men and women that serve this country. Ive forever indebted to them, but the things going on in america lately, im not going to stand for that, you know, when Ashton Kutcher comes out and says weve been punked, ill stand again, but i wont stand anymore. What do you say to that . Hes going against what he just said. He doesnt want to disrespect, but hes disrespecting by what hes doing. Arent there other outlets besides the one thing right there . Arent there other outlets . Youve got the social media and hes a professional athlete, he could use that in any other way, but yet, they choose this. I dont understand it. Initially it was over that, now were going to sit down because of who becomes elected president. So, its just more divisiveness and this is not healthy. Stuart its not the time for nfl ratings on tv are not too good either. It affects it. It definitely affects things and when you watch teams and players and i just, i dont get why at that point in time is that where you want to make that statement . Got to get a handle on it. Stuart ive got 60 seconds left. And i know that youve got is it a big announcement, a special announcement coming up . A new show duck dynasty coming out. Season 11 and were going to make a special announcement there and then we have a followup show, spinoff show going viral. All things internet. Stuart whats the special announcement . Im not going to tell you the announcement, a big announcement from the robertson family. Dont want to spoil it here on monday morning with you, stuart . Stuart you make it you didnt pay me enough money to announce it. Youve got to pad the hand and ill give you a little more. Come on now. Stuart whats that book youve got . American fisherman. Stuart now will you tell me . Willie, youre all right and thats what we think. Good to be here. Stuart all right. Were keeping an eye on the big tech names, theyre down since the election. Look at this, apple, amazon, facebook, big declines in those stock prices and microsoft, by the way, yes, i do own some. Down 2 and google is down 5 , so what about today. Here is where apple will open in about, what, 10 minutes time. Were going to be opening slightly lower, and apple will be slightly lower, 107. How about amazon . Where is that . Thats going to be up a little bit, but still at 7 45, 100 below where it was a month ago. Facebook will be virtually unchanged. Microsoft, interest in that, up a few cents. And thats it, if that. And google will be almost dead flat. No big comeback this monday morning for the big tech. And mea culpa from the New York Times . What . Can it be . Dead set against the Trump Presidency now saying its going to rededicate itself to honest journalism. Well be back. What powers the Digital World. Communication. Thats why a cutting Edge University counts on centurylink to keep their global campus connected. And why a Pro Football Team chose us to deliver fiberenabled broadband to more than 65,000 fans. And why a leading car brand counts on us to keep their Dealer Network streamlined and nimble. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. The New York Times has issued its readers something of an apology over the papers election coverage. Here is how it reads in part. We aim to rededicate ourselves to the fundamental of times journalism, that is to report america and the world honestly without fear or favor. We believe we reported on both candidacy fairly during the president ial campaign. You can rely on the New York Times to bring the same fairness, the same level of scrutiny, the same independence to our coverage of the new president. Tammy bruce, it sounds like an apology and an mea culpa, are you reading it that way . Not at all. From that bit that you read there, theyre saying we were fine. We were fair and were going to continue to be fair, but then why are they issuing this at all . They effectively blame donald trump. That was he so unconventional why we couldnt figure it out. So its his fault and they ask questions, what forces and strains in america drove that divisive election, like maybe you . You had a part of this. This is a very strange approach in that they knew they had to Say Something because they knew they threw the rule book out, but are blaming trump and points we were totally fair, were rededicating ourselves to being creative. Sure, theyre writing fiction for a great deal of the time. This was not an mea culpa, it was an effort to address the fact they got caught without add mitteding anything and thats part of their problem. The New York Times needs to go completely digital and get out of being a hard copy newspaper. Stuart maybe so, but the times helped deliver the democrats to just the coastal elites. Thats all theyve got left. I mean, one third of House Democrats come from three states, california, new york, massachusetts. One third of the entire. Theyve lost them totally, completely. You look, nobody else is reading them, but the coasts and maybe they have an impact there, but theyve become a regional party. The New York Times has become a laughingstock and america is changing for good, i think. Stuart okay. Thank you, tammy. Moments away from the opening bell, you know, we are on the dow jones average, that was the close on friday. That was a record close, where now, what, 152 points away from dow 19,000. And when that bell rings in a couple of minutes, were going to go up another 50 or 60 points so youll probably see 189 in the first few minutes of trading today. Liz really . Cant wait. Youll see it live in three minutes. Here we go, its almost there bang 9 30 exactly. Were off and going up. The lefthand side of the screen, lots of green there. 35 points at 40 points in the early going. You might 48, we might hit 189 and we did. 18,900, there you have it. And most of the dow stocks are green and theyre going up. How about the s p 500, where is that . Its also up about. 2 , not such a huge gain. The nasdaq composite. The technology companies, not such a huge gain either. Up. 1 . Now look at oil, not making any waves in stocks this morning, its at 43 per barrel. Ouch. How about the price of gold . Where is that going . Up or down . Its another 8 bucks. 1,215, my, thats come down. How about the 10year treasury yield. Thats a headline and a high for this calendar year, 2. 23 . Way up since the election. Ashley webster is here. Elizabeth macdonald is here and so, too, is scott shellady. And so is keith fitzgerald. Im calling this the dump growth rally. If anybody wants to take me on, take me on first, keith. The trump growth rally, yes or no . Absolutely, without question, a lot of money still got to move and were seeing it now. Steve moore, and yes, it is. And go ahead, say it. Obviously it is, but i want to make another point, the way that donald trump has comported himself over the last week since he won the election, very calming, very modest, very humble, and gracious, i think is exactly what investors wanted to see. Yeah. That hes going to reach across the aisle. You couldnt script it any better. I think that the interview with 60 minutes did him a lot of good. What do you say, scott shellady, the trum
