♪ ♪ stuart: not sure of the significance of the music. hold on, i'm coming and looking at statue of liberty. lauren: where are you going? >> i think it's people arriving. stuart: ellis island is not on there. good morning, 10:00 eastern. straight to the money. mixed market with not much price movement. we've got cpi coming out tomorrow, fed starts to meet on
10:01 am
interest rates. a lot of caution ahead of those reports. the 10-year treasury yield has been moving up, it's moving up again at 426 and i haven't chek it had yet and check it now, $71 a barrel and bitcoin and dropping below 41,000 and now back to 41, 8 off the highs of last week. that's the markets and now this. the president had a big weekend, he went to california, held two fundraisers and walked away with an estimated $15 million. hollywood stars were out in force. steven spielberg, barbara streisand, jeffrey katzenburg and eager to open their wallets for the man taking on hated donald trump. hollywood love affair with biden is not shared by middle america. biden came back to a polling
10:02 am
shock. saturday "the wall street journal" put donald trump four points ahead of the president in head-to-head matchup. this morning, cnn released a poll showing trump beating biden 49-44 in georgia and in michigan, trump beats him 10 points, 150-40. it was perhaps desperation that drove the president to invite hillary clinton to join his campaign. nbc's article reads cline ton is popular with women and key parts of the democratic base and remains a fundraising draw and helps biden secure the money to get his messaging out". this is strange. biden doesn't much care for hillary. she edged him out of the 2016 race and it's desperation to bring her in. he'll be out there on the fundraising trail again this week. he has to be and any slacking off is a sign he's running out of steam. he can't afford to believe the polls and looks like the start of another bad week for the president. he has to negotiate some kind of deal on the border, and that's something he really doesn't want to do.
10:03 am
those polls are awful. second harper lanes of varney just getting started. stuart: charlie hurt joins me now. i thought it was going to play music there. all right, charlie, bringing hillary into the campaign. surely a sign of desperation? >> surely, there's no doubt. no, if you're joe biden and you need to get hillary clinton, you have to bring her in to -- against donald trump in order to win over women in the democratic party, you are in deep, deep trouble. the other thing amusing about this is that they're talking about bringing her in to help raise money. you're the president of the united states. the one person that can raise all the money he wants is the president of the united states. the one place he can raise money is hollywood. man, how out of touch do you have to be to pay a guy $15 million who has inflicted this unimaginable misery on
10:04 am
regular working americans? stuart: good question. they're shelling it out. they're paying. >> they don't care. stuart: i don't see how hillary can help his campaign. i don't see it. lauren: is it because obama wouldn't help in a bigger way? >> i think obama definitely will help him at some point, but he's probably eyeing the -- being more of a closer. it all stinks of desperation. stuart: yeah, obama will step in late, usually does. wait till maybe late summer of next year possibly. kevin mccarthy, he's giving some advice to donald trump in 2024. have a look at this. >> i don't see that and this is what i tell president trump. what president trump needs to do in this campaign is about rebuilding and restoring and renewing america. it can't be about revenge. but remember, you have a check and balance system and at the end of the day. >> where's the check and balance in the american party?
10:05 am
>> americans don't want to see the idea of retribution and it's rebuild, restore and renew. you'll see that. stuart: charlie, no revenge. talk about building up america, be positive. is that good advice? >> absolutely and i think kevin mccarthy is right and he's more than the media is giving him credit for and the media wants to focus on talking about retribution and talks about issues and the reason people love him is the issues and he got elected in 2016 because he was right on all the issues that not only democrats but also republicans had ignored for so long and the 2016 election was the most issue-oriented election of the lifetime and those were issues that donald trump brought to the table and no one else had done that before. so i think that his -- the winning card for donald trump is talking about those issues. obviously he's a fighter and his supporters love that about him and his detractors don't like that about him so much. part of the reason they don't like that about him is because they don't want republicans to
10:06 am
fight. and they're so used to having republicans that don't fight, and this is a guy that's right on the issues and he's willing to fight. i think that what we're seeing in the polls right now, donald trump -- we will -- i think we'll laugh that we thought that donald trump might not beat joe biden when this is all over with. stuart: a year to go in a head-to-head matchup and trump wins by four points. that's a crazy position for a sitting president to be in. >> and it's not going to get better and nothing about this is going to get better for joe biden. it only gets worse for joe biden. stuart: got it. charlie, thanks for being with us on a monday morning. good to see you. ohio senator jd vance was asked about possibly being trump's running mate last year and what did he say? lauren: he sidestepped and said he was elected to serve the people of ohio and he'd be happy to serve trump any way that he could. watch this. >> the way it's most effective
10:07 am
and he was a good president and the american people benefit from having the president again. the idea that trump will be radically different than what he was four years ago is just preposterous. he was an effective, successful president. i think he'll be an effective, successful president again and that's why i've endorsed him. lauren: he was responding to a report in axios suggesting that vance and others could stack trump's c cabinet and vance potentially as vp. it was a damming report. he said trump is looking for pre-vetted loyalty and willing to prove they do believe that the 2020 election was stolen. stuart: all right. lauren: that's what axios reported. stuart: got another one for you, senator rand paul issued an ominous warning to other cou countries. lauren: it was ominous and voted down a request for $11 billion
10:08 am
and we have too much debt. we can't keep printing money and he issued this warning. >> this is an extraordinary thing and interest rates are now becoming the highest or one of the largest in our budget so really people can talk about wanting to help other countries and we don't have the money and has to be printed up and it's destroying our currency and why it cost more to go to the grocery store to buy your groceries and can't allow it to happen and there's a possibility to go too far with this, and we could have a cataclysmic speck downturn depression and recession of the depression. lauren: the issue of talking about funding for ukraine and israel on the southern border is moral and emotional for many voters and if they're not given money to win and need a victory for putin to take more of europe. for those that want to attach border funding for those supplemental and that for me is an emotional issue.
10:09 am
all these people coming into our border overrunning it and overrunning our resources. it's emotional so you have big topics are attached to all this money. stuart: there's going to be decision this week and ukraine aid or action on the border. they'll make the choice. lauren: biden is having it and it was a good move on biden's part. stuart: back to the markets and green for the dow industrials and they're up about 40 points and s&p up 2, nasdaq down 30. david warrenson with us this morning and specializes in dividend picks and you've got electric power to kick it off. >> we've got to get one utility name in there and only one we own. utilities are the worst performing sector this year, and we believe generally that performing sectors one year become better performing the next. it's got a 4.5% dividend yield
10:10 am
and absolute best pick within the sector, american electric power. stuart: is there much downside risk for the stock price? >> i really don't believe so. it's about 20% below value and interest rates have come down and pushes utilities higher, stuart. stuart: tell me about verizon, you've picked this before and there's a solid dividend yield. >> well, it's up about 24% in the last two months. we've owned it for several years and they've been in a few years of spending billions of dollars in cap x building out 5g, now we think that they're finally starting to really reap the rewards of that, and then in terms of their home, wifi, internet business, they just get a great deal of some of the streaming services bundling these together and so verizon is really hot right now and still has a very large dividend yield and we believe that was very
10:11 am
safe. stuart: big picture, please. will the federal reserve lower interest rates in the next six months? >> yes, they will lower interest rates in the next six months and debate only about how much. a point, half a point and markets indicate they're only three quarters of a point and fed cuts rates by next summer and it's long overdue, stuart. stuart: got it, david bahnsen, that ythank you and see you agan soon. lauren is looking at movers and nike is one of the big movers. lauren: up two and a third and calling biden a promising recovery opportunity ahead of earnings like the 31st and inventory and fewer discounts and 135 price target. stuart: tell me about pinterest. shares near two year high and 35, 53 and rbc raises them to outperform with the price high target and this is a way to play if you're a advertiser and want your ads where people are

10:18 am
but were thanksgiving this wawarted and ziti -- thwarted. benjamin netanyahu saying in warning to hamas. >> dozens of hamas terrorists have been surrendering to our forces. they're laying down their weapons and handing themselves over to our fighters. it will take more time and the world is in full swing, but this is the beginning of the end of hamas. i say to hamas terrorists, it is over. don't die for them, surrender now. reporter: he's talking about the leader of hamas. as the activity on the southern front increases as does it on the northern front with lebanon, yesterday israel's chief of staff as a resulting troops there and israel reportedly set a deadline for a diplomatic solution to put hezbollah to the
10:19 am
border and a lot of activity on the region and comes as there's 137 hostages inside gaza. stuart. stuart: trey yingst, thank you very much. kh mcfarland joining us now. is israel winning the war? >> yeah this, is the beginning of the end for hamas. the way you can tell is that israel has taken out the mid level officers of hamas. that's parent because once they take out the top level, which they'll be doing now and going forward in the next couple days and weeks and then the guys at bottom and tens of thousands of hamas fighters at the bottom, there's no place to report to and in the good old days and they're mowing the grass and israel would go take a few top leaders out of hamas and go back to israel and hamas comes back in a year or two's time doing the same thing all over again and taking out the entire mid
10:20 am
level and they're surrendering and doing it all the time before the goal is and to eradicate hamas and that's degrading and looking to eradicate them. stuart: would you put a time on that because israel doesn't vascularized all the time in the world and world pressure is on it big time. what have they got, a month, two month s? >> yeah, two months on the outset and you're right to point that out s. far the biden administration, to my surprise, has stood by israel and was supplying them with weapons and sharing intelligence but diplomatically at the un vetoing a lot of anti-israeli efforts at united nation and biden is with them but how long can biden stay with them as world public opinion changes? two months on the outside but hopefully getting it gone in a month. stuart: biden invited president zelensky to the white house and think biden will pressure zelensky to talk peace with the russians because we don't want to get involved in an extended war with the russians and peace will be mentioned in that
10:21 am
meeting. >> i sure hope so because we're in another forever war and israel has a plan and deadline and goals and ammunition to get there. they know what they're doing. zelensky and ukraine, noble as their battle is, they don't seem to have a plan. is it a negotiated solution? to push moscow -- i mean russian troops back to moscow and get them out of crimea? get them out of ukrainian territory? nobody really knows and ukraine is not winning and at best it's a stale meat and i hope biden is singing the song telling the ukraines get the best deal you can and win the fight and get the peace because the world and maybe russia needs to get out of ukraine. stuart: could the ukrainians louis lose flat out if they don't get this extra
10:22 am
$100 billion worth of aid from the united states? >> that's a hard one because they're fighting and russia will fight fighting and it's more likely it's a stalemated solution and russia can keep fighting for a long time as long as oil prices are high and they're going down a bit and gives russia enough money in the coffers to go buy weapons some place else and the best bet is settle now and it's not what ukraine has been talking about doing and not what the biden administration as been encouraging them to co. stuart: thank you, kt. always appreciate it, see you again soon. thank you, kt. the u.s. is looking for partners to help combat the recent houthi attacks in the red sea. have we signed up a partner yet? lauren: no, but we don't want to go it alone and reportedly the international response to
10:23 am
safeguard shipping and international shipping in the red sea and it's a super high and thousands of ships and millions of barrels of oil per day and the houthis saying we're going to target any ship in that area headed to israel. obviously that's not sitting well with israel and reports that netanyahu told biden over the weekend that israel will take action against the houthis if he, biden, and the u.s. does not. clearly the president is trying to ratchet down the rhetoric and at the same time houthis and other iran-backs groups attacks u.s. bases since the middle of last month 87 times. stuart: got that. all right, thanks, lauren. what we have coming up for you, hunter biden lead attorney take ago more addressive approach expects gun charges thrown out in federal court. david spunt with the story. a left wing group media matters accuses media matters of peddling on x and media matters trying to silence musk because
