if you go back to a year ago or two years ago and compared clips. he's noticeably more feeble today than he was at the start of his term and at the start of his term he was fairly feeble. it's a problem for democrats in the window is closing very quickly in terms of trying to do something in any orderly primary fashion. once you start primary voting it's going to become nearly impossible that's why every four years people recover politics like to talk about a brokered convention and it never happens. this is the kind of thing where it makes you wonder if something bad happens or something becomes so unavoidable that democrats decide they have to go somebody else between january and the democratic nominating conv convention. it might give them a way to do it more in a more tidy way to do it at the convention.

in terms of doing it with any input whatsoever with actual democrat voters that window is closing very quickly. stuart: the crowd at the south carolina football game exploded at the site of donald trump on saturday. watch this. [cheering] [cheering] [shouting] stuart: all i got to say reverse trump, frail biden. >> it's quite a position. whatever you think of donald trump, the guy is a showman. his ability to sniff out opportunities like that to go to the home state where one of his rivals in the primary hails from was governor is on the board of trustees at usc. to go down there and draw that kind of an applause in that kind

of crowd. it's truly extraordinary. i get it there are people that are not trump fans. i happen to find a lot of his antics very enjoyable and amusing. you cannot take it away from the guy, the guy knows how to work a crowd. we will probably never see the likes of him again. stuart: some would say that's a good thing. some would say he's going to be the president again. thank you very much. >> i will be sad when he is gone. the degree to which he is able to get people involved in politics who otherwise would not be involved in politics is a very good thing. i would say that on either side of the aisle, i think it's a healthy thing for our country. stuart: thank you for being with us on a monday morning. a quick check of the market, red ink, not that much, jeff sica with us is wordy. you think the federal reserve will cut interest rates early

next year? that seems to be the hope that's motivating the rally. >> that is the hope, we had a tremendous november, this november was probably the best november we have had in history with the market up over 7% in there is a lot of optimism but there is a number that i focus on it is called in to the money supply, the cash that people have on hand or savings account or checking accounts. that number during the pandemic increase by 40% that means a lot of money chasing fewer goods and services. the fed has proven themselves incompetent at every term especially when they came out with the word transitory when they were talking about inflation, they have a dilemma right now nevin unsustainable level of debt. the corporate and personal debt is at historically high levels with a higher interest rate that people cannot afford the payments and have a money supply

number that they are attempting to purge money out of the system to decrease inflation so they are in a quagmire. they're going to have a hard time figuring out what the next move is. i don't think they can lower interest rates until the end of 2024, not the beginning. stuart: there terrified of making another mistake they call it transitory inflation, it wasn't it was strong. they're afraid of making another mistake now. >> i squandered my education. one thing i would tell you when you. that much money and put into the system you are going to inflate everything and everything has been inflated. now they're trying to deflate it. they're trying to put a farce fire out with a water pistol. that's why they're having 70 problems. stuart: jeff sica on a monday morning. first lady jill biden unveiled

they have been preparing for this moment for weeks. 14 israeli citizens were released as part of the broader cease-fire deal with three thai nationals. we understand according to reports there is disagreement in the list for tonight's but officials are hopeful on the fourth day of the cease-fire between the two sides it will move forward. we know 4-year-old abigail the american israeli citizen was released last night as part of the larger group both of her parents murdered on october 7. it cuts through all the noise of the story to the people that lost so much and left without parents or loved ones. we spoke with one grandmother they came to the hospital today. she lost her son during october 7 attack. we visited her grandchildren for the first time in 50 days. take a listen. >> again and again, and again. we cry a lot. we laugh a lot.

it was like a wave. like a storm. all the feelings flow up. it was amazing. >> a true mix of emotions for so many that are here today. as this is taking place there reuniting families at this hospital. israeli leadership trying to show the world what happened during the massacre today. it is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with elon musk in the small committee that was hit so hard during that attack, elon musk getting a firsthand look at the atrocities that took place here. stuart: kt mcfarland joins us this morning. may i offer an opinion here. many hostages have been released the war has not widened into lebanon or the west bank. i hate to use the word but israel is winning or have a firm grip on a hamas, what say you.

>> i think that one momentarily up until this point are doing a very good job of rooting out hamas leaders and the soldiers and fighting the tunnels and destroying ammunition but hamas has flip the script, here's how they done it by releasing the hostages they will dribble out a few at a time and anybody who is connected to any of the hostages any national leaders or families will say extend the cease-fire a few more days let's get our people out, how could you not want that, what's going to happen going forward hamas is going to stretch out the cease-fire as long as they can, they use that time to regroup, rearm, to get the bad guys out of the crosshairs. then hamas will come back a few years from now, resupplied by rhiannon and do it again. meanwhile president biden and others say the cease-fire should continue.

it should be extended in war should stop. what will israel do, israel will look like the aggressor is after the cease-fire ends they going to finish the job. a long explanation for my answer but at the end of the day israel is not good to do what it needs to do which is to eradicate and eliminate hamas. stuart: we will leave it there we should debate labor until later in private. i was thinking public relations for holding children hostage and exchanging for car bombers is disgusting of the world to see it that way. i want to move on to this tom cotton a conservative guy calling for stronger response to the attacks on u.s. troops by iran. roll tape. >> i would target iranians that are operating in iraq and syria and send a message to iran if they don't stop immediately we will begin to threaten their assets like ronald reagan when he sank half of iran's navy for attacking a u.s. navy ship.

the president talks about fear of escalation, fear of escalation ensures escalation, the way to stop is establish dominance over a terrorist supporting regime like iran. stuart: what do you say to that? the way to counter is by real force, what do you say? >> i am a reagan person i worked in the reagan administration and i worked in the top administration. the way those presidents dealt with iran is economic stimulation. for example the top administration iran was broke couldn't export oil, oil prices were low even if it could speak out the oil. what was happening hamas was complaining to the iranian leader saying where's our money wears our stuff. iran had to cut off the terrorist because it cannot afford to do it. i believe in economic strangulation and i believe we have to have a strong military deterrent and i don't think president biden does either of those. he's enriched iran. he allowed them access to 100 billion, nearly $100 billion

since biden administration began through higher oil prices, failure to enforce the sanctions, giveaways to iran. were paying for both sides of this war. stuart: always good thank you for joining us, we will see you later. here is a shocker of water system in pennsylvania was hacked over the weekend. was this done by iran? >> absolutely iranian hackers took control of the water station intricate and alarm and flashed a message it is down with israel. the water facilities equipment is owned by an israeli company. the hackers were able to shut up about supply line but the water committee said it use the backup in the water in the town is safe. stuart: they reached right into our water supply. a quick check of futures, red ink on a monday morning after a couple of weeks of significant gains. will take you to the opening bell on wall street. right after this. ♪

months, apple easily into the mid to hundreds, a little higher late this time next year. stuart: i would like you to repeat that, microsoft live hundred dollars a share within 12 or 24 months, what did you say about apple in the mid to 50. >> mid to hundreds even substantially higher a year from now at this time. >> you realize you're on videotape and we can roll this back as the year goes by. you understand this? >> i sure attack hope so. this is a tough business and we are fortunate to get a lot right. one of these days i'm going to be horrifically wrong but i hope it's not tomorrow. stuart: what about other big tech companies, do you like any of them? >> crowdstrike i'm watching carefully, on a tear that is a no-brainer in a point in history where we have to have what they make. i'm expecting a 30% growth on the bottom line may be on the top line 80% growth in earnings

if they come out on the bottom line. many executives, 60% have got to spend in cybersecurity to keep the company's home. stuart: consumers are spending we saw that black friday and over the weekend. when it does help amazon as we go toward the holidays. >> i think it would but the interesting play is going to be around the walmart and the costco's. what i also saw the number of buy now pay later purchases went up 45 or 50% of my memory is correct. what that tells me consumers are stretched and were good have to look to the bargain retailers, the big-box stores if we want to buy the product. stuart: keith fitz, thank you for joining us you are on tape and we will replay it in the future. opening bell, 70 pushes a button, push the button please. okay, there you go. the market is open slightly lower for the dow industrial, down 12 points, a fraction of

hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars funneled president biden screen agenda. edward lawrence, what is the money being spent on? >> president joe biden sitting on this war chest for the green push. most pastor the inflation reduction act, 740-dollar bill. a lot of it going to the forced transition, $400 billion to the energy department loan program which is picking winners and losers related to the green agenda. the program has handed out billions to gm and ford and both of those pulling back the ev programs because of demand and ford dealerships pushing back against the investment to become a ford certified ev shop, forward allowing those dealerships not to make the move because of slower sales and e ev's. jeff van drew said elected democrats need to stop forcing things. >> we don't want the electric cars it if you do you can buy them but by and large most people don't want them there more expensive and we don't have

the capacity to drive them all, we're going to have brownouts. >> president joe biden telling his top advisers to speed up the forced transition to electric. >> we can't be complacent, we have to keep going, above all it shows is that climate action shows an opportunity for the nation to come together and do some really big things. i have seen firsthand what the reports make clear. >> and the latest fox news polling, 89% of registered voters extreme the concern about inflation 82 about crime. bottom of the list 58% very or extremely concerned about climate change. there are other things that voters are worried about about the transition to ev, back to you. stuart: thank you very much. stephen moore with us. polls show voters don't want this. when do we start pouring money into green energy, can we stop

pouring money into green energy or is it set in concrete. >> start tomorrow, do you remember solyndra, remember that company. that was under obama when they tried the same scheme to subsidize the solar and wind panel companies and many of them went bankrupt and were likely to see that again. the only difference biden is spending ten times more money than obama did. obama spent 50 billion, biden is talking about 400 billion. when i talked to republicans i say the first thing you should cut out of the $2 trillion deficit is 400 billion-dollar what i call slush fund. all the money is going to liberal groups that are advocating for the stuff. meanwhile, there is a new climate change conference going on in the middle east right now. i think this is a 28 conference and they've had.
