going to continue giving you money if you continue the failed strategy that you have. if you want short term orientation make policy changes, we're interested in that and that's the negotiation that's ongoing right now. >> one might get a kick out of this. democrats hate the free market and despise capitalism but if you start to threaten the new york times intellectual property, it sues a nonprofit like chatgpt. >> there's a problem not just with independents but core elements of their own base. you'll see more give aways and attempted student loans so-called forgiveness to young people as well. they're going to try to sort of push certain but buttons and use certain emotional and policy levers to bring people back on their side. stuart: i adore this song. into the great wide open. tom petty. signature next to me, don't you love that song? >> i absolutely love tom petty.

stuart: he was fantastic. he really was a. deserted sixth avenue i've said this every single hour, the top of every hour. they've not come back to midtown yet. it is 11:00 eastern time and friday, january 5. we're gonna start with the markets and going up today. s&p up 31. why in because of this. the yield on the 10-year treasury back below 4% and that's where investors want to see it. can you put it up there, please? it's now at 397. earlier this morning, it was 407 when it comes down like that investors like it. now this, do we have animation? there it is. i'll just start and get right on it. here we go. i've been covering politics in america for nearly 50 years and i go way back. i can't remember the administration as divided as joe biden's so many things have gone wrong. we're bringing you some new

video from our star reporter bill blew gin, migrants -- bill melugin and migrants pouring in day after day. put that video up. there you government they're flown and bussed all over the country and divided the president's party. democrat mayors in big cities overwhelmed and they're not happy. white house attempts to blame republicans falling flat, even with some democrats. foreign policy, bitter division over israel. the president is largely supported the destruction of hamas, that's infuriated his left wing. and biden had to bypass congress to supply the israelis with weapons. he couldn't get it through on a vote. and energy, biden's green policy is falling to pieces and has infuriated the climate crowd, especially young voters, same with black voters. once a solid democrat con stitch city drifting away and biden -- con stitch june seizure disorders and now drifting away. democrats want to open the border and stop deportations and get the hispanic vote. that's backfired badly. they are no longer solidly in

the democrat camp. there's division in all parties and all administrations and surely nothing as dramatic as this: the democrats are united on abortion, perhaps on guns, perhaps on january the 6 but as we said last hour, that is a thin list of issues 11 months from a presidential election. divided parties lose. third hour of varney starts now. >> kennedy is grabbing extra air time there starting before we start the interview. can you see a divided party winning this election? >> i don't see how democrats win right now, especially if joe biden is impacting the nominee because their coalition, which of course was an interesting and powerful one in 2020 because all they were doing was running against trump so joe biden now has three years of his own record, and it's not good.

the people that the parody has always take been for granted is not good and they're peeling off in alarming numbers and surprised there's not more alarm bells going off in the administration. administration. stuart: i think there are but they're muffling them. >> the first lady and summit with the senior advisers, they're not enough and being honest with the american people about their pain and what the problems are. stuart: could he be replaced? >> they're going to have to and they're going to push to the point where it's an absolute marge, met cal, psychological or others and hayes a losing candidate and picking up steam as a way to force him out. stuart: what do they do with kamala harris? she's less popular? >> she can't be at the top of

the ticket. someone has to grow a spine and what they're doing on foreign policy is they're waffling and they need someone strong and sturdy and even disagrees and they can bush back and someone has a vision for the country and lives here. stop telling me the economy is great if we can't afford things. stuart: has to be the first lady or some very, very close friend or relative who goes to the president and says hang it up. somebody as close at that and the established democrats are doing whatever they can to let joe biden is his bubble know that what they're doing is not working. stuart: the white house reportedly is planning a moral booster party for the staff. >> yay. stuart: now this comes as a second staff member, senior

member resigned over the administration's handling of israel. is a party going to fix anything? >> no, absolutely not. then again it speaks to the president's waffling. because this is one issue where you cannot have it both ways. you have to have a very firm, solid resolved policy when it comes to our relationship with israel. and, you know, there are a lot of anti-semi-mites on the far left and they're cloaking their anti-semitism in the whole free palestine, water mellen emoji -- watermelon emoji nonsense and it's going to divide the party in ways this president is not prepared for nor his secretary of state stuart: i wonder if the president will be at this moral-boosting party. >> if they serve ice cream. the first lady had to remind him, oh, joe, your favorite food is ice cream, remember. it's like, i remember having those conversations with my grandmother before she passed, god rest her soul. stuart: indeed. kennedy, always a pleasure. >> the pleasure is mine, stuart.

what a day. stuart: okay, we're going to get back to the markets, why not? i see green on the left hand side of that there screen. nasdaq up 100 points, dow up 100 and s&p up 28. jonathan hoenig joining us this morning. i read your stuff every week and you're following energy stocks s and is energy leading the way as tech cools off? >> yeah, look, the magnificent seven on the new year and mag seven down about 2% this year and energy once again is really taking off. it's leading for a couple of reasons. one is very cold weather nationwide and the other is unrest in the middle east. i'm looking at a lot of energy stocks, stuart, which, look, during the 1970s they were the leading sector and a lot of them have a tremendous yield and that's where you can make money, certainly at the beginning of the year. stuart: what's your energy pick? >> usai is an etf that holds a lot of what they call the midstream companies, stuart, they're involved in transport

and proc processing and holds al earth firsters and environmentalists are talking about windmills and solar panels and making it so when we turn the light or heat on, it works. >> our regular viewers are waiting for your exotic investment pick, i don't think usai is particularly exotic, anything else for us? >> stuart, it's about making money should be what people are focused on and a lo lot have not what people are focused on and mastered limited partnerships and processing and the transport and processing of energy. it's all about making money and a lot of these are exotic because they're a combination of both dividend pain and growth-oriented names. stuart: usai is in your

portfolio, in your hedge fund? >> we own a lot of energy stocks in capitalistpig.com and i'm eyeing this and people should put these on their list to make money on the long term. stuart: green energy, dabbling in them? >> they were huge money losers last year, stuart. that was fascinating, even despite billions and billions of incentives from the biden administration as solar, wind, all major losers last year. they could have a bit of a bump here in 2024, but i think long term if it's subsidized, it'll underperform. stuart: got it, jonathan hoenig, have a great weekend and see you next week. >> be well, stu. stuart: lauren is looking at movers and verizon is moving nicely. what's the story? lauren: up 2% and leading the dow and so is its dividend after yesterday we learn that had walgreens halved its payout and dividend is now highest at 6.7%. stuart: wow, 6.74%, that's pretty good. lauren: now you know.

stuart: new york city is suing 17 bus companies for sending migrants from texas to the big apple. madison alworth is in new jersey. madison, are the buses still arriving and are they getting off the buss and going straight to new york city, is that what's happening? reporter: yeah, stuart, for the local leaders we've spoken to in new jersey they're expecting buses to arrive here and migrants get on trains headed to new york city and buss are arriving to new york city as well. with the executive order, it limits when they can arrive between 8:30 a.m. and noon monday through friday but, yeah, the expectation is that migrants are very much still making their way to new york city and i want to talk about that lawsuit that was announced yesterday. mayor adams suing 17 bus companies for transporting migrants from texas to the big apple. the lawsuit is seeking $708 million in compensation

claiming that "the cost of continued care in violation of new york's social services law". but it's not just happening in new york, of course. other blue cities are also struggling as migrants continue to cross and head to their cities. democrat leaders in boston, denver and chicago all begging for help from the federal government asking for federal guidance or financial help with shelter systems that are stretched beyond their limits and budgets that are struggling. and as the migrant crisis spreads so is the lack of computer security. commuters that live in in new jersey and travel to new york, they're frustrated about the lack of order and security. >> it was around 13 years when i came here and it was a very long process. i struggled for many years to get a green card or become a permanent resident here. >> i do fear for the safety of

myself and my family right now. you know, it's really crazy what's happening in this world rate now. it needs to stop, bottom line. reporter: so new jersey towns are also considering enacting executive orders like the one we see in new york city to limit what's happening with customers here because again, these buses show up and towns themselves have no far warning as to when they'll arrive. we've not heard anything about that yet in terms of enacting executive orders if we get that information and when we do, we'll obviously pass it along. stuart. stuart: you got t it's a mess any way you slice it. madison, thank you very much indeed. the white house accuses republicans of holding up border funding. roll tape. >> house republicans decided to vote on a bill that would cut 2,000 border patrol agents@border. that's what they d. that's what hay did, and they continue to obstruct and get in the way of the president wanting to move

forward with this supplemental that includes border security. they're getting in the way of it. they are. stuart: okay, congressman bryan steil joining me now. republican, you returned from the border and how do you respond that republicans cut 2,000 border agents. put that in context for us. >> after three years of trying to keep the border open and bring in as many people as possible and now the administration knows they have a political problem and we need to not only make sure we're restarting border wall funding g and we need to change the policies allowing this volume of individuals to come across and abuse in large part of the asylums on the catch and release policies and return stay in mexico and enforce the immigration laws that are on the books today. if we did that, we could rendition of anthony acceptable the blow of illegal immigration and 300,000 individuals that

came into the united states last month and problem is impacting the border states and every single community. stuart: do you get annoyed when the white house blames you guys for the mess that they created? >> evidence of infection think the american people are far smarter than to believe the propaganda coming out of this biden administration. they're send ago signal to the u.s./mexico border was not secure. this problem is a creation of the biden administration and the american voters are far smarter than to believe the propaganda this administration is trying to sell now. stuart: okay, what are we doing about this and are you willing in the negotiations ongoing, are you willing to shut down the government if you don't get full border control? >> i think what we can do is both. we can keep the government open and operational and force the administration to change course on policies and put a line for

no funding for tension release and would extend dramatically and would be functionally forced to sign that and everyone knows that catch and release policies of this administration are causing dramatic negative effects, not just on our nation's largest cities but on small communities and 14,000 person city in wisconsin wait water over a thousand migrants now lifting in it. this is a problem and one that's impacting communities all across the country and we could make small changed to have a big impact and force the administration to do that. stuart: fox's jacqui heinrich pressed john kirby about the administration indirectly financing iran. listen to his response, roll it, please. >> i would tell you none of that money goes to the iranian regime or the mullahs. if it's been allocated against, it would go to approved vendors that would purchase food, water,

medicine agricultural products, and ship that directly into iran for the benefit of the iranian people. stuart: congressman, do you believe that? he says the money doesn't go to the mullahs or the regime, it goes to vendors to buy food. do you believe that? >> this would only work if money was infungible and this is like giving your child a $5 billion gift card. that just frees up money for other purchases and iran is the largest state for ter terrorism sponsor and administration wants you to believe the funds go to a good purpose and at the end of the day, iran continues to be the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism till we get serious and enforce our sanctions. stuart: earlier on the show, four star retired general jack keane, he suggested that we be much more aggressive with iran. and go after their oil

insulations. would you -- installations. would you go that far? jot easiest thing is enforce the sanctions on the books. >> this administration continues to look the other way rather than force the sanctions on the books and get serious with the sanctions we do have and restrict from going to iran and prevent sale of oil and prevent them from funding the terrorists that they are around the globe. stuart: congressman brian style, republican, wisconsin, thank you for joining us, sir. appreciate t always, thank you. now this, antony blinken headed back to the mideast. lauren, where's he going? lauren: fourth trypsins october 7. israel, the west bank joined qatar, uae, saudi arabia and egypt, nato members, turkey and greece. that's a big trip. i don't know what he gets out of this but they need to talk and talk and talk to stop this wider

war. it could happen intentionally or non-intentionally and that's the worry. there was a hamas leader killed in lebanon and houthis attacking our ships two dozen times since november and then we conducted a retaliatory strike to take out a militant in iraq and i name sod many countries in the middle east and he's got to talk to the leaders how to contain the situation and how to manage gaza in the future. stuart: yes, he does, that's a tough job i've got to say. thanks, lauren. what we have for you coming up, oil production recently hit a record high and the white house stayed silent about it. gee, i wonder why. we'll certainly break it down for you. and president biden new approach for his 2024 campaign. he's going to focus on january 6 he calls trump a threat to democracy. we'll ask deroy murdock if he thinks that will be an effective campaign strategy. we'll be back.

independence hall and president biden speaking to community college about 15 miles from valley forge and general george washington's winter encampment at the white house and press secretary karine jean-pierre explaining what the president will be talking about. >> january 6 was unprecedented attack on our core principles on our democracy and rule of law in our constitution. so this is something that the president takes very seriously. it was disrespectful to our constitution and attack on democracy and the president -- let's not forget, they're values we cold close as a country and nation. reporter: the biden campaign releasing the first campaign video of 2024. >> there's something dangerous happening in america. there's an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs in our kn democracy. reporter: republicans think the

president is sparking back on the so-called war on democracy. >> i don't buy they believe it and if they really believe that had the united states as we know it would cease to exist, if donald trump was elected president and they wouldn't be sitting there with joe biden at 0% approval at a 70% wrong track and 75% of democrats don't want him to be the nominee. in december of 1777, george washington's 70,000 soldiers camped and the goal was survival and not victory. they built about 2,000 log kansas city chiefs wins and the british forces camps nighedly in philadelphia and a lot of people wasn't feeding the constitutional army and taking it into philadelphia because they paid more. stuart: that's the last time the british paid more.

lucas, a fine report there and president biden marking third anniversary of the speech at valley forge and expected to call trump a threat to democracy and going an the attack and is that an effective winning strategy? >> i don't think so. the american people want to hear about your plans for the future and not looking back to three years ago. secondly george washington and the army would be appalled at what joe biden and the democrats are doing and trying to lock donald trump in jail with four different court actions and illinois may be interested in doing the same thing and taking people autothe ballot and biding could give a speech and say stop i want to detail him in the polls and he's okay with it. supreme courts and the student

loan program and that's unconstitutional and response is whatever, i'll weep doing it and cost of $400 billion plus and time and time and time again you see democrats and joe biden attacking democracy and they're the enemies of democracy and not donald j. trump. stuart: that's got to be his attack like and nothing positive in the three years in office and has to go negative. >> he could say i learned from the last three years and i feel your pain as bill would kay and say we're going to go a different direction and here's my plan for the next fur years, different than the last three. that would be refreshing. stuart: clinton pivoted. >> and biden could do that. stuart: first two years of office, he took a supra aural shlacking incongress and he too. >> he won't do that because biden like this is. he's a hard core left exist never been a moderate or senate

sentries and zero most liberal and this man has been a left winger his whole career. he's not pivoted because he doesn't want and likes the policies he's implementing. stuart: nikki haley getting heat after saying new hampshire voters will correct aye iowa caucus results and she seems to be predicting poor result and projection in iowa. you don't do that if you're a candidate. >> you think you're gonna lose lower expect taces and she says we're going to win iowa and loses that looks bad. saying i'm going to lose or come in second, maybe far behind and she does, then she's lived up to expectations. she does a little better than people expect, she "won" iowa. people win the iowa caucus even by losing because they do better than expected without being victory yous and maybe trying to set herself up for that victory which is a smaller loss than people expected. >> after the iowa caucuses about ten days later i think it is,

they dot new hampshire primary. does haley have a good shot performing well in new hampshire? getting closer to tram snap >> maybe a respectable second and if she's ahead ophryon desantis, that might be the end of his campaign. the republican party wants donald j. trump and like the policies of his first administration and looking forward to more of the same and we need a tough leader and we're getting our butts kicked all around the world and middle east in flames and somebody tough needs to come in and straighten out the house, which is totally out of order right now. stuart: on your screen, trump has 62% support and haley 11 and desantis slightly less at 10 and ramaswamy 4.3, christie 3.3. add them up and don't amount to anything like trump's support. i don't see how trump can lose this. >> he's up by 51% against his nearest opponent. that's astonishing. no one has seen anything like this and the more the left,

democrats attack him and try to knock him off balance and all the legal actions and popularity goes up, up, up and republicans rally around the leader of the opposition. >> those that love politics will have a wonderful year in 2024. >> we will not be board. stuart: no, that's for sure. deroy, you're all right. see you later. support for joe biden plummeting and a new poll shows he's rapidly losing support with female voters under the age of 30. lauren, what's the dramatic numbers. lauren: down 18 months in six months time and it's another group of voters that turned out for him in 2020 that are on the fence for 2024 but my question here is where's kamala harris? she's a woman. if the campaign is out there saying that trump is taking away your democracy and freedoms, isn't that the right to abortion? shouldn't we hear -- shouldn't that push women ages 18-29 to go to the polls to vote for biden? we're seeing the opposite happen. they're disillusioned and i find

this very strange. messaging is not working. stuart: for those that love politics, 2024 will be a wonderful year, and i include you in those people that love politics. like it or not, lauren. thank you very much. lauren: it'll be unexpected. '24 will be so unexpected like anything we say, i throw my hands up in the air. stuart: don't do that, you've got to come back soon. one company is looking to ai to solve the food crisis, which they believe is caused by climate change. we'll tell you all about that one. republicans investigating president biden's $400 billion green bank. officials have warned the loan program poses "tremendous risk to taxpayers". former report from washington is next. ♪

stuart: congressional republicans are take ago closer look at president biden's $400 billion green bank. hillary vaughn joining us. hillary, what exactly is this green bank? reporter: good morning, stuart. this green bank is basically the treasure chest that is holding biden's $400 billion climate legacy, the white house, and the biden administration is in a race against the clock to spend every dollar of it before november but republicans in congress say not so fast. they want to make sure there's no pay to play and money not going to adversaries like china and it's not a scam. the green bank basically shuttered its doors in 2011 after solindra went bankrupt after receiving $535 billion in loans from the federal government, but biden brought it back to life with his billions of taxpayer cash he's stashed away for climate-friendly projects only, but republicans want a paper trail and not after a bankruptcy blowup hits the headlines and the top republican

on the energy senate committee alongside the chair are digging into this green bank tearing open the books and they want to know where all this money is going and to who. senator barrasso saying "solindra going to look like chump change". the inspector general in charge of oversight saying the amount of money the biden administration is trying to spend in such a short amount of time is unprecedented and she warns they aren't prepared. >> on the issue of not funding oured aerer sayres, i am greatly concerned the department hassett up a vetting center, which is a step in the right direction, but it is now six months old and it has three employees, it has no written procedures. reporter: the biden admin vagues is not just in a rush because this money is basically use it or lose it if it expired but if democrats lose in november and republicans gain control of congress, they could claw back this money entirely and shut

down the bank basically. stuart. stuart: how about that, hillary vaughn, thanks indeed. have a great weekend. see you later. one artificial intelligence company wanted to help covid food related climate challenges. which company, lauren and what are they doing? lauren: climate ai and assess climate risk by modeling weather pat persons and making predictions and the food and beverage companies like this and they can focus on area where is they might need to invest or act differently to protect their crops and one is mccain foods and known for frozen onion rings and used ai and climate rem stations and the seed company and they change when had they harvested after the weather report they got from climate ai. stuart: okay. oil production, re-kently hit a record high. what's the white houssaying about it? lauren: hi a feeling this was going to happen and would not be
