nukes until the rest of the world comes to its senses. stuart: i'm having a hard time keeping pace with the daily development, yesterday there were several developers, today we have this one just coming out moment ago. really an extraordinary thing. we started by saying we have never seen anything like this before and that is true. it is yours, neil. neil: i am thinking of this we say we get to doubt 20,000, but donald trump promises more nukes so we are all alone up as we are counting our money. stuart: have you become a leftist all of a sudden? neil: just worried. you don't seem to be. stuart: you are not a worrying kind, get out of here. neil: a lot more we are following, i am thinking about that. in the meantime, i don't know if you got your christmas shopping done. i am always late at these things and i find amazon is promising

one to two our delivery in some cities including this one, in manhattan. what do my loved ones really want to get in one hour or 2 hours and i am thinking donuts. thing is i am not great at this high tech stuff. i know you know it is going to be big but i am not sure how to go about ordering 5 boxes come all different types, variety of donuts. he is hungry on this. these are for the crew. i don't know how to do this. during this show, adam schapiro in manhattan, can we get that, can we start making that happen? connel mey is no object.

lou: i am about to pce the order. amazon.com, amazon prime, we have them. it is cycling, 45 for the donuts plus we put in a generous tip and -- the key here, $5, these guys work hard. it is christmas. the issue will go replace the order, she will get the donuts and put them in so off you go to get those donuts. there are 30 of these prime hubs throughout the country and you can get delivery of any item you order, from foodstuff to tvs to electronics to scented candles which get regifted 1000 times. you get any of these stuff, they are delivered with one hour, $7.99 with one our delivery charges, it is free if you are willing to wait two hours. this is only available to prime

customers at amazon. there are 30 throughout the country in big cities and these doughnuts being put in this bag are going to be in the hour. you will get them in an hour. these doughnuts, make sure megyn kelly doesn't lobby them. these are on the way to you and your crew and you will have them in an hour. neil: they better deliver, she put five donuts in. a dozen donuts in each box, 60 donuts. lou: adam: i would do dunkin' donuts. neil: chocolate powdered, a variety, glazed. are you watching her? a nice young woman.

she knows differently. adam: it will be on its way and a second. they put in a brand-new jaguar too. rupert will pay for all of it. neil: a big doughnut lover. it has been close. i am holding you responsible and accountable, those donuts have got to be here in an hour or two before i am off the air. you pay for -- duly noted. you seem a little defensive. adam schapiro, i know what you are thinking. your cardiologist, he is away. okay. other news going on here, the president-elect signaling he could be open to defense cuts if it involves big defense

contracts that are by his likening a little extreme. boeing and lockheed martin, on air force one, shouldn't be a $4 billion bus contract and in the case of the f 35 fighter jet contact, they can do better on that. signed, sealed and done deals, is there a bigger strategy here to rein in government access no matter what sacred cow it addresses. a democratic strategist, charlie gasparino, if you are looking at this he worked on a variety of fronts not the least of which is saying no government contract is a done deal unless i am looking at it.

>> donald trump knows some of the things he has done whether it is the issue with carrier or going after individual companies and saying you got to do better for america, he knows it is politically popular and understands the republican party is a 3-legged stool, the social conservatives, fiscal conservative, libertarian and defense hawks who are strong on the military. got to be good on all those things but they don't always agree. you have defense folks who want a bigger stronger more robust military and the libertarians, fiscal hawks saying wait, defense costs a lot of money. we have to balance the budget. what trump is trying to say i would like to have my cake and eat it too. is there a way to do fiscally conservative things, trim the fat, cut government spending and increasing the size of the military, he is looking to create a deal, it is a win/win and he knows the politics of meeting with ceos is a good first start to send a message.

neil: that expression you are going to have your cake and eat it too, if the cake is there, eat the damn thing. >> i want to eat these doughnuts you were talking about. warner: the everyone could see when they were delivered. i get very hungry here. >> i don't do donuts. let me address a little of that with you, what is going on behind the scenes and what trump might be trying to orchestrate. i always think he was elected to the chagrin of establishments on both sides, democrats and republicans, as much as republicans holding near and dear anything when it comes to defense. >> there will be a reality check when he becomes president, and he has to deal with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. i can tell you this, he does have an issue with the deficit. he wants, he just tweet did theed he wants to build more nuclear weapons.

sounds like he wants to expand the defense budget to some degree and to do infrastructure spending massively, and campaigned on big tax cuts particularly taking the corporate tax rate down from its current very high rate, the third highest in the world down to 15%. what i am getting from congressional republicans, they are discussing scaling back this stuff when the rubber meets the road, he has to compromise, the last thing they want, mitch mcconnell is a deficit hawk and so is paul ryan he has to compromise on the infrastructure or the tax cuts or defense. there are so many things he could do without blowing out the budget, creating a budget deficit and having -- this get down to bond yields, having the 10 year, 5%, the recovery he might have, that is what he is facing with republicans,

congressional republicans. >> they got deficits that get bigger and bigger. let me ask what might be negotiable. i could be very wrong, what they are coming up with, opening up everything mister president on the republican side, the infrastructure tank, to find a way to pay for it we are not going to do it. the signal that could send and opportunity to work with democrats. >> what cuts? the politics of him meeting with the defense industry is a great thing. this is like a lot of people forget they owned wrestling matches. he is playing definitely the hero looking for a big cut of win where he can show he is counting money and air force

one, the defense industry has been around since eisenhower. and with every administration, and cut specific projects. neil: sometimes that has great cosmetic value and sends a signal and these things register in that way. >> it could send an initial signal. the defense industry is smart and patient had knows how to play their politics, they will find ways to add another project they are looking for. neil: adult with contractors in your own home. >> you can't work in dc without -- neil: not a right or left argument but if donald trump has to face this reality charlie alluded to as well and everything you want can't be done.

do you think he would be of a mind to say mitch mcconnell is giving me cold signals on infrastructure, i push that off. >> what donald trump is going to one to do is get an approval rating that is high, rallies, people are cheering for him, and the big things like a huge infrastructure deal, tweeting at a ceo and getting something more cosmetic. the extent democrats have been sidelined in washington in two years, donald trump, if things don't go his way make an enemy of congress. if the economy is not doing well does donald trump set up a no lose scenario for himself if he points out pennsylvania avenue? >> bottom line is this is a

partnership. right now donald can tweet whatever he wantss and move stocks and cut a deal that is pennies on the dollar when it comes down to it with these defense contractors but here is the thing. when it comes to january he will have a chunk of change for infrastructure and a chunk of change for tax cuts and whatever else he wants to do, mitch mcconnell and paul ryan goes if you do all this the budget deficit is going to balloon and destroy your economic recovery and they will be prioritized. neil: do any of you worry about the side thing varney mentioned at the end of his show, he might be interested in saving, he is open to more nukes? it worries me. save this money and get blown up. >> that sort of goes to my larger point. saving on air force one and these things, definitely looks good but tweeting let's spend more money on nukes. with him tweeting about china and other things, maybe he is

that is more military spending. neil: flushing out the new detail. ashley: just do some nukes. the other thing we have to talk about his trade. stories leaking out that he wants to do carrots and things of that nature. as these stories are leaking out the dow is not hitting its 20,000. neil: you are back in hating mode. ashley: i hate equally. except for you. i love you and your donuts. neil: know nukes for you. merry christmas to all of you. i appreciate your insight, even yours, charlie. in the meantime, 13 minutes, they are not here. this is not looking good. if this is delayed you are not getting one. look at this. he is on camera. we are waiting for five different boxes of doughnuts. they are supposed to be here

before the hour is up. adam is spending big on my money and ordered the one hour delivery so that would have to be in 45 minutes. i give him the benefit of the doubt and push him and so happy they can keep the one hour delivery, i will be annoyed and very hungry but the pressure is on. i am a prime member and international anchor. we will have more after this.

i've spent my life planting a size-six, non-slip shoe into that door. on this side, i want my customers to relax and enjoy themselves. but these days it's phones before forks. they want wifi out here. but behind that door, i need a private connection for my business. wifi pro from comcast business. public wifi for your customers. private wifi for your business. strong and secure. good for a door. and a network. comcast business.

built for security. built for business. ways wins. especially in my business. with slow internet from the phone company, you can't keep up. you're stuck, watching spinning wheels and progress bars until someone else scoops your story. switch to comcast business. with high-speed internet up to 10 gigabits per second. you wouldn't pick a slow race car. then why settle for slow internet? comcast business. built for speed. built for business. neil: we got a counter here, a little time or. that is the countdown for amazon to get the donuts here. i ordered five boxes of various

donuts and i want them here. adam schapiro without my approval went ahead and spend my money to get the one hour delivery but i will deal with adam later. for now, i am holding amazon accountable to that two our promise to get here, this mad rush before christmas to get goods to people's homes and working within two hours of ordering them. it might seem stunning but amazon is promising it. you saw them stack the boxes of doughnuts, sugared, powdered, chocolate covered with my cardiologist is away on vacation. i will let you figure the rest out though we are going to watch it. what do you like? boston cream. that is not in the group we are ordering. work with me on this. we have the best in the business. 's product might be on the amazon list.

right away, cofounder john paul, good to have you, merry christmas. >> merry christmas, i will take a glazed donut glaze. neil: a good marketing attraction but amazon is saying you are running late getting your gifts at least in this select list, we can get it to you in two hours. >> that is brilliant, it is good marketing. i think they can do it. they said they could do it, let's give them a shot. that is the future. neil: one hour and 40 minutes to get that to me. if they don't, what do you think

i should do? >> considering that you are on television everywhere i think you should accept their phone call, the biggest apology in the world they will ever give you for not doing it because the pressure is on. i have a feeling they already know but i can feel the pressure. those donut the coming. neil: i'm not one to ask for a little extra but you think if they put two and two together that this is neil cavuto they might throw in an extra box? should i accept it? >> at least, of course. those will come out of the corner that really love those. neil: which brings me to you. within a two our time frame i didn't see any of your precious goods listed among the items amazon could get to you within two hours so i am beginning to think they are a little jealous of you or this is limited to certain things like edible products with a lot of trans fats. >> it is definitely requires certain items to go or not to go. you are not going to find

tequila coming over there. you go to your hairdresser and a better recommendation and you know it is a real thing. neil: are you and amazon prime customer not that you need to be but are you? >> absolutely not. i don't even have internet or email. neil: it is going to be huge. you didn't hear that from me. >> i get inundated. i like to have phone call and texting, i will talk to you personally. works better for me. neil: you are a good sport. i love your sense of humor, billionaire investor, savvy marketer in his own right. he has never been late delivering anything to anyone if he were so disloyal is put up with that stuff. more coming up and i am just saying, amazon, tick tick tick, more after this.

neil: we now know the guy behind the attacks in berlin. the trouble is they still can't find him. he could be a problem but the odd thing is even the night of the attacks, he was driving the truck, he got away. how could he get away and how long before that were authorities not on to him at all even with multiple warnings? terrorism analyst extraordinaire, there were so many questions here and few answers if you indulge me on the more medium one, how he got away, what do you think? >> he got away because he had people happening - helping him. isis, he is an isis sympathizer. isis said they smuggled terrorists in the refugee populations. he has accomplisheds, friends where they can hide him.

i would put it behind him that they had a plan, a place for him to go. they are working with networks. look what happened there. the terrorists who committed the terrorist attack in paris last year around this time couldn't find him for two week that i was the she was hiding two blocks from his home. they have friends in places hiding them in the muslim community and the refugee community who are there for this purpose to carry on terrorists attacks the plan to plot and hide after someone commits a terrorist attack. neil: we talked after the nice attacks, a truck ramming through a pedestrian crosshair killing 86 people, more were injured. the driver didn't get away, nor did any accomplice that we know of. here he did. when you mention there had to be help, would have to get that help right away, would have to be alerted, i will plow through this right now, looking for me

at such and such and get me out of there and something or someone made sure that happened. >> exactly. that is the scary part, to know there are people living among us, you can imagine how the germans are feeling to know there are people living in berlin who sympathize with the terrorist who committed such a hideous attack and they are covering up for him, hiding him. the guy does not disappear into thin air. he was somewhere where someone is providing food, shelter, maybe plans to get out of the country at this point. this is where the direct level threat we are facing is different than the threat we faced under al qaeda ten years ago because right now we are not looking at major operations the take months of planning and multiple people with financing,

it takes very few people with little money and somebody crazy willing to carry on the terrorist attack, whether he is operating by himself and the help of two or three people and look what they can do. >> i wonder if it may be terrorists or isis changing tactics a little bit, this would be the second prominent truck attack in the past year or fear, not saying they have given up on planes but is this the new crude priority? >> it is an easier priority, they know at the airport worldwide, security is very tight, not as easy as it used to be even though sometimes you look at the people in the airports and tsa workers and wonder how safe are we but in general terrorists are finding it much easier to carry on a quick attack. they are adapting to the new way and someone carrying a machete and slashing people that are more like we have seen in

america or somebody starting to/people at ohio state university or places like that, it does not require a lot of planning or money, the price of a knife, it is easy to blend in and they have multiple people carrying it, this is why isis focused specifically on putting out sophisticated videos on the internet in multiple languages to recruit from different people in different areas, training videos in german, passed in, english, french, to be able to recruit as many as possible to carry out these terrorists attacks. neil: thank you for joining us. whether this is way on the markets are not, hard to say even with the downdraft today, we are up appreciably since donald trump was elect

he did make some comments that rattled a view, whether you are republican or democrat talking up the economic stimulus to come but also mentioning in a tweet that he is open to more nukes which worries some folks. wouldn't that be a killer? you get rich and then you get blown up. u doing? oh hey john, i'm connecting our brains so we can share our amazing trading knowledge. that's a great idea, but why don't you just go to thinkorswim's chat rooms where you can share strategies, ideas, even actual trades with market professionals and thousands of other traders? i know. your brain told my brain before you told my fac mmm, blueberry? tap into the knowledge of other traders on thinkorswim. only at td ameritrade.

..

neil: you are going to be looking my designer.

the producer assuring me in the amazon folks you just got a text that the order is coming soon. i want to show you live here when they arrived, they will be coming down this hallway. again, the idea is to get them here by 2:00 p.m., an hour and a half from now even though we paid extra for the one-hour service. that is my picture in the hallway there. it was invisible before. to make a powerful statement, it is coming momentarily. so you will see when we see the doughnuts arriving and we are going to carefully make sure that the five boxes of various flavored doughnuts including powdered sugar, chocolate covered, you name it. i was sort of agnostic about it are coming. i am getting a bulletin. one second. one block away.

that should take in this traffic -- that could take a while. amazon is promising to our delivery on a variety of good and food items. not everything. in some locales for last-minute christmas shoppers there. a lot of you say i hate to lecture you even know when you say that, you are. but you had your heart surgery. deepening you should be letting your cardiologist know about this? he's on vacation. when the doughnuts arrive, we will keep it there. amazon, longtime happy prime customer, they know me as well. apparently they just drop it. looks pretty stable. they could easily get year. i don't want to hear we stumbled into a lot of vendors things.

you are nowhere near the trump tower. he's down in florida as i recall. this could be a sign that the retail season is strong which a lot of people with the election of donald trump. i've got lindsay joining us. the new york stock exchange joining us. if amazon doesn't get these doughnuts here in time, should i make their life? >> the doughnuts are on their way. just around the corner there will be a nice place are some of those cookies that i get it and up to date. doughnuts would be a big improvement. neil: that's why they kept you down there today. last-minute trying to get them out and reassuring it is very,

very strong. most of them based on anecdotal evidence. >> we still see the consumers out there spending. right around the 3% range for quite some time below the 2014 p. we are relying on deep discounts and other types of marketing such as delivery to entice shoppers into their stores around to their sites in order to make it a more airy holiday season for retailers. neil: do you believe obviously to 20,000 is proving tough. we've gotten so spoiled with this enormous run-up, a couple thousand points since the trump election that people say anything is possible.

do you ever worry about america tickets ahead of itself? >> there's nothing rational about the stock market or pricing of individual stocks. from my perspective, we would've seen a relief rally no matter who got elected. the fact that the results were a 10 trump got elected just as the icing on the cake as far as the stock market is concerned. the change in washington is basically the end go for a positive market reaction whether or if hillary or charm. i do believe the rally. we are certainly due to give a little back here and the soul over on 20,000 is interesting and make skype theater. the fact is we are probably getting their. neil: i love you to death, but we have all these elaborate graphics. we have confetti. so you might not make a big

deal. so we will see. we would have had a rally regardless of the trump phenomenon is unique and they might have had a relief rally. i could be wrong. what do you think? >> i think it's driven right now by the optimism from trump ushering in potentially a new era to reduce, simplify, tax regulation, policy that has been this heavyweight on the business investment community that has been the missing component. this is very much in line with what trump was saying. >> we hope to go back later. on the phone, look at that. they arrived. 30 minutes. are they the right items? >> we have to check.

neil: we ordered these from amazon.com to our delivery. where is david? this is the mix. you just stay there. they really smelled good. three boxes in this? so wait a minute. five boxes of mixed. i ordered the heart healthy ones. they came in this bag. adam, you told me -- and amazon fulfillment center in manhattan. maybe you can level with me. he spent a little extra to get it here in under an hour. i suspect, the last thing i am is barracking.

>> it helps when i got this tv and thank you for my early chanukah gift. i'm going to enjoy this. >> you get the guaranteed. >> i'm with you. i am a cheese that guy. neil: how does this work? you got everything but a place where they have the kind of ability to do it. >> yes. neil: the way they work it is if you pay the 799, that is guaranteed one-hour delivery. in new york, there's only 30 cities where this takes place at amazon prime now. the way they do it in new york as they have a team of contractors who work either on foot, bicycle, subway or car to deliver packages in manhattan, queens. brooklyn has its own. in other cities it's mostly by car. neil: i'm sorry, you're not

doing your job. i'm meeting my doughnuts. bottom line, adam, you are right they delivered. you are on top of this. i'm going to have a more challenging order. do they do napoleon, cannolis come anything like that? >> as long as this package, they would. they put dry ice into this insulated thing and very posh >> you did such a good job. we are on another hour or 15, 16 minutes. vanilla and what? chocolate obviously. here we go. i want ice cream.

>> you want ice cream? i will provide over to dan the producer. here we go. a video running with my money to get my ice cream. give a thumbs up. if it's news to you, it is nice to dan. dan is going to get the ice cream. at amazon, you did such a good job. vanilla chocolate, i'm going to try a macadamia nut because that's a tough one. i'm going to see how good amazon is. the now chocolate macadamia nut. how much do we want to get? cookie dough. an hour. do it now. we will have more after this. retirement journey takes you, we can help you reach your goals.

>> and nicole petallides lichter fox business brief. we will keep a keen eye on dow 20,000 just in case. a look at the top indicators related to the leading economic indicators that come from the conference were they really show the underlying trend for the economy continuing to expand into the first half of 2017. we will accelerate adequate pace with construction and industrial . household spending to the

downside. fall in november, incomes have been flat and watching the retail under pressure today. durable goods in november with some long-lasting and a fractured good. those have been under pressure. also looking at aircraft. we will keep it right here on fox business.

neil: the doughnuts have arrived. i want to show you something here. this is all that is left. i met to share, but hello. do you know real quickly on these, 190 calories. the frosted 350-pound or 220 selected middle choice. some of you are worried about the actual serving. it is that little bite they take off. still waiting on ice cream. it is still not here, is there? president obama, the big doughnut fan, and may be ice cream as well, but not a fan of fox apparently. he's a messenger says when people criticize in, they are responding to a fictional character named barack obama who they see on fox news or would they hear about or rush

limbaugh. a familiar argument. what you make of that? >> he seems constitutionally incapable of thinking for policies their message. it has to be someone is missing arms or body paid for. their summers in the criticism and the inability to grasp why someone will object to a policy like obamacare or dodd-frank or environmental regulations. that's a big reason people realizing people in d.c. are incapable of connecting with them for whatever reason. >> all i know and maybe i've been due to my employer, where we work and what we do. i don't think fox pointed out the premiums going up by double digits are fox responsible for the cost of an mri going up a 50% or fox that produced the

high initial cover costs. i could go on and on. if the democratic party doesn't do some soul-searching here, where the like them or not, just like republicans for the longest time could not admit that they were eaten and beaten badly four years ago and regroup and rethink things. if you don't get to that stage are never going to win it. >> foxes beaten up by both sides during the campaign. the clinton camp in the trump camp all had times they were pointing at boxing. it's a feather in you guys cap, absolutely. they acknowledge the mistakes are having communicated your message well. that is a prerequisite moving forward, honing their message, honing your policy so maybe they address criticisms people are raising. that's very important. neil: thank you very much.

the people at fox are very serious and angry. as the scene are done that show? is he going to watch our ice cream on that? hello. is it something. is it something jeff flock on the ski slopes? and eating doughnuts as he is doing it. really? reporter: i'm entirely serious. we were so serious earlier we knocked them off the cliff. more seriousness to come if we get down the mountain. we live in a pick and choose world.

neil: i hate to break it to you, but america, amazon, which got a problem. the vast grocery fillers, they

are not delivering. the stock is trading down, probably on the startling development. word that they do not have macadamia nut ice cream, so they can deliver the vanilla. they can deliver the chocolate. they can deliver the macadamia nut, no macadamia nut. dan, our producer on the scene working closely with adam shapiro had to make sort of an executive decision, sort of a quick one and here's what he decided to do to keep the cookie dough ice cream which we also ordered and manages cookie dough. which is weird. i don't think cookie dough itself is notable. it is archaic. why would you want me to eat something that could maybe kill me unless he wants to kill me. this would probably be in for some emissary of team that

"cavuto" rushing down to deliver in a blow that they were going to hog my ice cream ready as quickly as they were going to have the doughnuts ready. now word that this could hurt disorder. >> we are very serious here, about a perfect day for skiing and a great start to the season. if you remember, this time last year and i got chad hartley to make a mosquito wreck your at the top of the mountain here. you are mowing grass this time last year? >> pretty much. it was a warm one last year, but this year's fantastic that everything is so big. about 20 inches of snow and three feet here in the mountains. >> it's wonderful.

>> a lot of companies have invested in upgrades for the year and it looks like it's going to be a great year. we did earlier, by the way. neil: be safe, guys. be safe. more after this. ♪

neil: the count down is now on for the doughnuts that have to arrive when the caucus to one hour even 17 minutes in 30 seconds because because that's what it was about 17, almost 18 minutes ago with a start amazon order after they quickly delivered on the doughnut codes and got the various doughnuts we requested. five dozen doughnuts, all different types, which may staff authority pretty much beaten.

now we play as an ice cream martyr. and a reminder they are going to do that stuff before the day is out, before the outbreak help you up there and he and requested ice cream. vanilla, chocolate, macadamia nut and cookie dough. then we heard we don't have macadamia nut. the first time there's a kink in the works here. what add-on and dan, our producer have decided to do to bail them out. >> we screwed up the order. >> i gave you a direct order. it was all daniel's fault. we placed the order.

they do not have macadamia nut ice cream. cookie dough. cookie dough. we got you the cookie dough. i think there was a miscommunication between daniel and myself because we did not get the mail and chocolate. we got you the chocolate chip cookie dough. we got you a lot of it. they didn't have the macadamia nut flavor. we are sending iraq cookie dough because that's the best part of making cookies dismantling on the raw cookie dough. neil: if you get enough of that, it can kill you. let me gas, as you can see they got 40 minutes here and it not looking good. it is not what i ordered. >> has the order gone out?

>> ureter is about to go out. neil: the order hasn't even left? >> replace it after we talked with you. not that i'm defending amazon. jeff bezos has billions upon billions. he doesn't need me to defend him. neil: because of this snafu, the stock is down six backs on the macadamia nut selloff. are they aware? >> neil, i will bet your salary he ice cream arrives before 1:45. >> that's not what they ordered. you're going to cancel the order. neil: how they think we should accept the ice cream when they arrive? i'd replace my credit card with voucher not as credit card because you are ordering under

an hour and i never answered. neil: don't forget you bought me the tv. >> i don't want the tv. i didn't want the raw cookie dough. i just had heart surgery, adam. people are watching. >> okay, let ralph eat the raw cookie dough. he is young and healthy. neil: that's a good idea. everything is back on, all forgiving. we want you back. in the meantime, good stuff. this is all part of an effort on the part of amazon to deliver goods very, very quickly. i don't know whether this extends, probably does. that could be a separate order. in the meantime, it is assigned they are interested in getting them fast. if you are running late days before christmas and it's your only option, it keeps getting.

you have 38 minute, amazon. does this surprise you? does this say something about a happy public and a happy shopper? is it a post-boom from the election and could any of this have been forecast earlier? i follow the business local commentator in the barack obama campaign director. so many things that so many experts got wrong, not the least of those which use cantilever food in under an hour. would you have expect they'd not only donald trump winning, but the market responding the way it has in people getting products in under an hour delivered to their homes? >> first of all, it picked the wrong day to be in the d.c. bureau. i don't know why you're not doing this experiment in

washington. neil: this has great promise. >> we are next here in d.c. these forecasters, the media, we aren't used to seeing folks making bad political predictions, but never to this degree before. person after person said how poorly the markets were going to flounder as soon as donald trump would take office and we think just the it is time to get out of the business of forecasting these elections and the political theater of these predictions. neil: there was so much between things that just went wrong and of course they and of course pick obama both parties part. it was four years ago republicans were so sure that romney was going to read at the first debate almost packing up and heading to the white house. how are we supposed to do this

going forward? tress consensus, challenge consensus, think outside the box? >> of course they see the country is heading in the wrong direction, the majority thought that, status quo is not going to play out that well. for example with regard to brexit, all they had to do is look at angela merkel. to get her policies. i am from germany. that's one of the reasons i voted because i saw come in what is happening now. a disaster of the refugee policies she is pushing in the brexit people basically only had to play the part. so it's actually foreseeable that british people said in germany and france that's going to happen in england. not with us. is a very, very easy campaign in a way and for me not that surprising at all.

in the end, we are going to see more of that. i can hardly forecast that with regard to other countries in europe based on the latest development. >> obviously the fact that hillary clinton won the popular vote, with nothing to do with the legacy or programs, much more to do with a fluke event or in event or in the case the president told me the atlantic some month ago the article is finally out. fox and rush limbaugh. when you go back, it do you really think that way? or is this the way of sort of shifting blame? >> neil, i'm glad you brought that up. i think democrats need to really attention. the one strategist at it get it right was the senior strategist for wells fargo who did predict brexit and did predict the market search for the united states.

but i still think the democrats need to pay attention and take into account populism is the lay of the land spreading all over europe and is spreading in the united states. we are concerned about the needs of the everyday man. seems like a no-brainer to me. neil: the fact they are not doing that, they are very happy democrats are doing that because they won't learn, but what do you think? >> i think we definitely -- the message shook me alerting clear. we also have to hold president-elect trump accountable for his promises. everything he set out to do his first 100 days as far as infrastructure improvement. all of those things that will foreseeably jumpstart the economy and i think that's why we see some of his fries right now. we need to make sure he does and they don't benefit those at the top. we've got our work cut out for us. neil: thank you reasserted them aside because the ice cream is still not here, but i digress.

my christmas to all of you. in the meantime, we are still waiting on that ice cream because time is running out. it's not going to be the same. by the way, the big development is no macadamia not in the replacement thing is beyond the pale. my friend and colleague, adam shapiro and dan shapiro and didn't host and obviously don't want them assigned to take the fall. but they are taking it in a weird way and didn't you tell me to say he would gladly take the cookie dough. that is actual cookie dough. not the cookie dough ice cream, thinking i would make me happy in nepal. he has offered to take that cookie dough if i don't. i want to see yuki at all in front of me because it is bad for you. one of them decent enough and it could kill you. blake or may now with the latest

addition to the donald trump team that go beyond the ice cream and cookies. >> can i point something out to our viewers? can i put that shot up in the hallway? pop it up if they can. look at how it has your picture perfectly framed up in that live shot. neil: i'm glad you pointed that out because we frantically saw them replacing. a lot more to come. they dug that out of a closet. >> fantastic. kellyanne conway got a big kick today. she's coming here to washington d.c. we knew that. she is going to be the counselor to the president. it is a role in which they kind of describe the inner circle. she will be among the top folks, but they also say she will work on the messaging and legislative

priorities as well. she initially had sent out or express it publicly about holding the white house opposed, but she laughed that off her shoe is on with maria bartiromo. watch the exchange. >> we were talking with juan williams and was questioning for kids. he got creamed on twitter. everyone was saying why? so what she is going to be working. >> i don't want him to be creamed, but i would say i don't play golf and i don't have a mistress. i have a lot of time that these other men don't. reporter: transition made by the way are given a little more insight into the meeting yesterday with the ceos of rolling and lockheed martin saying the ceos were there to talk and discuss maryland, houston and there to talk about the governor projects they have. there were no job offerings

whatsoever nor are they being interviewed at all. i think that is my time. merry christmas, buddy. >> thank you very much. in the meantime updates from the food and drug administration on cookie dough and how much you should be. if the fda had its way, were made days before her surgery that if you keep eating like this, you were going to heart surgery. anyway, the bottom line for you and your kid is don't eat raw cookie dough and even though there are other website devoted to flower crafts, don't give your kids raw dough or baking mixes that contained flour to play with. bottom line, donated, don't try it unless it's your producer, dan, don't do it. wow. more after this.

neil: we still don't have any ice cream. on a day that amazon is trying to strike its fast delivery of the world, promising one hour, to our the latest. 25 minutes to get ice cream here. by this time with the donut delivery, they were here and gone and eaten. the ice cream order proving much more problematic. we requested fidel ice cream, chocolate ice cream, cookie dough ice cream. you can see charlie gasparino already eating up at macadamia not. we don't have the macadamia not. we are not going to blame this on amazon even though i think it is a routine flavor they didn't have it.

working closely with adam shapiro had to make an executive decision to go ahead and smog the macadamia not ice cream for cookie dough. raw cookie dough. not a very good idea to do. they wouldn't even recommend a teaspoon. essentially it could kill you. so dan wants to kill me. and ordered from a raw cookie dough plopped in the senate to see if i survive. that is a whole separate issue. whether it's going to kill me or too sweet and melting fast, it is not here. you've got now 24 minutes, amazon, to get it here. by the way comic quick look at amazon stock. anyone running with ice cream. this stock is tumbling on this development. maybe a little more time delivering stuff and less time lunching staff.

we've got charlie gasparino here. you said a chance to try the donut. >> i want you to know your staff is trained to poison you. it says here for expiration date january 03. neil: well, maybe they are looking out for my safety. he saw that. wonderful secret service agent. he said go ahead and eat it. it is january 03. he interpreted the january 3rd >> i don't think so. they usually have the month in the year. as a northeastern italian american, we grew up into things. salvador is in a combo served by nuclear blast for many years. they are like rats and cockroaches and can't survive. i'm just telling you this looks

like -- he's good for january january 03. i just tasted it. >> what is going on author that you're hearing? >> speculation and idea guy. rudy giuliani is a brooklyn guy. guarantee he ate a lot. i grew up with the guy related. >> atomic food. made. >> would become a brooklyn guy who ate takes over the years, the speculation in the fbi as he is at some point going to replace comey from the controversial republican who turned the election upside down as you remember weeks before the election was over. he basically announced he was

reopening hillary clinton's e-mail server. the clinton and the democrats think obamacare premiums they can have a much more bigger impact. they know when a commit that. they will just talk about comey. there's a lot of people inside the inner circle believe that comey and someone has to go. neil: he has another gazillion years left on his term. >> there's ways around that i hear. listen, in many ways he serves that the president discretion. there is a discussion you can get rid of them. that's one thing. i don't think carl china levin event. he's in new york guy. do you eat this kind of food? >> i'll tell you i don't.

i will every now and then and told on the weekends. i've been doing bark lately. have you ever tried chocolate art? it's very good. it's much less refined and it tastes pretty good. neil: charlie gasper -- gasparino is strengthened and not refined? >> it's bad, cookie sheet. neil: my cardiologist might be watching. >> i'm telling you. stick with me. neil: we like you here. we've got a case of raw cookie dough tv. my producer is telling me that the ice cream has arrived. it's not? come on. 20 minutes, amazon. neil: make sure the date is right, too.

it's going to be melting. it will be like sue. >> it's warm outside. not that cold. a little more attention on delivering stuff. neil: they got you in the crosshairs and tribe. more after this. i feel like i went to bed an hour ago. i'll make the cocoa. get a great offer on the car of your grown-up dreams at the mercedes-benz winter event. it's the look on their faces that make it all worthwhile. thank you santa!!! now lease the 2017 c300 for $389 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer.

neil: it was a tweet that kind of concerted folks. the u.s. must greatly expand its nuclear weapons to former army intelligence officer, and repeat. i hope i misinterpreted the intention here. i think we have enough nuclear weapons. >> this is not actually that controversial position. even the obama administration this year and not a 30 year $1 trillion revitalization plan of america's nuclear stock pile.

neil: more, better? >> it means more. it means upgrading how targetable they are. the most effect to nuclear weapon in keeping america safer and not the city busters reimagined during the cold war, but nuclear weapons that might conceivably actually be used. that actually increases our deterrence and sort of makes it less likely for other countries to test us and whether we would use them or not. neil: you are the expert. i wanted when i hear any authority saying that we need more of this type. you are saying it is not that. >> no. harshly it will be some more. there is already reasonably strict restrictions in how many warheads we can possess, how many delivery systems we can possess. it's not like we have a silo in every city in america.

>> i assume we have enough between ourselves, russians and six or so other countries to blow the world up like 100 times over. >> okay. we haven't tested them for decades. how do we know if any of them work? neil: are you advocating we showed? the whole line of nuclear capabilities from testing to revitalization of the type of warheads we are producing. when's the last time we are connecting decades. this is a way to make sure we do and when other countries make sure through testing and they are going to cast in something could go wrong. don't put my words in his mouth. global range of nuclear

capabilities that have to do with underresourced area for funds right now. neil: and her comic thank you very much. >> i thought we were going to talk about ice cream. i do appreciate it. if you were here i would share the ice cream with you. still not arrived, hasn't it? can we take a look at it? we are told is coming up in the elevator. checks in the mail. been there, done that.

:

. neil: the ice cream has arrived! welcome, everybody. apparently we made it there. now she's coming here with a bag that contains said ice cream. this is all part of the amazon challenge. thank you, very much. amazon says it will deliver anything you want except apparently something common like macadamia ice cream within, 60 minutes to an hour? >> yeah, i think we paid for an hour delivery. neil: what do you mean? you used my card for that one. >> what's in here? >> there is definitely ice cream. neil: anything raw, rancid cookie dough? >> rancid, i don't know, but there are several packs.

neil: this is actually pretty cold to touch. dan had to make an ordering audible, because they didn't have the macadamia nut ice cream. >> in the bag is raw cookie dough. neil: which the fda says is dangerous. >> and two ben & jerry's pints of that cookie dough. neil: and all of this came in their desired time, not as fast as the doughnuts. >> no. neil: now, if you've got a christmas gift of anyone or a combination of these items, how would you feel? >> pretty good. i love cookie dough. neil: yeah? >> all right, but i also didn't have massive heart surgery. neil: that is unkind. why are you giving me raw cookie dough knowing i had massive open-heart surgery. >> you have to ask dan. he's great. we have a box for all your

belongings, just take that out. they did it. a lot more to talk about. bob, you are great, a money guy, that's saying quite a bit, that's a retailer telling you if you are concerned about getting stuff to your house by christmas, we can get it to you within hours. everything but macadamia nut ice cream, we're not going to be nuts about it. what do you think of that? >> i love macadamia nut ice cream and disappointed they didn't send it to you. neil: the stock came down, that is an interesting subset to this discussion. >> i was going say, i do love cookie dough, i like to live life on the edge a little, it's dangerous. neil: you always struck me as that kind of a guy, and i do want to move on a couple of quick things, obviously you have an important life to live and i'm thinking if they're doing this and people for a mood to shop and people for a mood to pay extra for getting stuff right away, there's something going on underneath

the surface in this economy. what is it? >> yeah, clearly there are people who have got the money and want to pay extra and buy a lot of stuff, and if you look at a lot of dot com, not dot com, what i meant was social media type of companies, they're based on getting people things quickly, fast, meet your needs, be personalized and i think it means that people are ready to spend, they're spending again, some of them. neil: we don't have the final number us and are indulging because it's topical and fun, when all is said and done, the shopping season, kiplinger said the money is going to be one of the best in a decade. >> well, i think it's one of the best in a decade for online, no question that's growing a lot. no indication brick and mortar keeping up with this stuff. what did you just get? something that is online. neil: good point.

>> we'll have to see, and the perennial losers in the brick-and-mortar business that keep dragging it down, sears, k-mart, that part of the picture is doing well. neil: bob, thank you very much. i want to get on amazon fulfillment center, adam shapiro. the goal is that they can get goods within an hour or two hours. you are very proud of yourself for doing this, but i might point out though you met the one hour guarantee and beat it nine minutes, it was cutting it close, it wasn't amazon that screwed up, it was you guys because they didn't have macadamia. there was controversy that people thought i was ordering pistachio but i was not, what happened? >> well, blame the producer always, right? it's never talent's fault. it was daniel hilton. >> i knew it. >> he was the one who decided to send you all of that poisonous cookie dough.

i want to let you know something. i saved you, he wanted to send you a scented candle. neil: are you kidding me? >> no scented candles for neil cavuto. would it have been an insult? the kind of thing you regift. neil: i'm going to regift the chocolate chip cookie dough, it's very cold. they have a refrigerated section, right? >> they have a refrigerated section, they have dry ice and put the cool stuff in here, and the dry ice is great because you can put it in water, it's dangerous, but you are about to feed them raw cookie dough, why not? neil: give the kids raw cookie dough, have them play with the dry ice? >> in water. it bubbles, but you are not supposed to do that because they can burn their fingers. neil: thank you for clarifying and getting everything here. not bad, amazon's effort with days before christmas to get the items to you before

christmas, not everything, not things that people are clamoring for like macadamia nut ice cream. you can't be perfect. you are having the ice cream, is it good? >> very good. worth it. neil: it came in my name. >> merry christmas. neil: wow, a lot of tweets, people recommending that i not eat the cookie dough, there is this guy hal who is recommending that i eat a lot of cookie dough. finish what the doctor couldn't this past summer. really? burt tweets, i'm loving your show with the ice cream with amazon, just ordered my ice cream. and evan amazon live on air, what a time to be alive, what a time indeed. [ laughter ] and david, it's a good thing your cardiologist did not deliver the doughnuts. he's building an extension to his house, he might have done that just to get me back and

finish what he couldn't finish this past summer. amazon, you got me this time but i'm watching you. more after this.

. >> reporter: good afternoon live on the floor of the new york stock exchange i'm lori rothman with the fox business brief. stocks are down, and not trying to give 20,000 a shot. the key milestone. health care, technology, financial sectors are weaker in

the session today. higher interest rates. this is an ongoing theme and promised about three more next year. mortgage rates are up, highest level, 4.3% for a 30-year fixed mortgage. if that is something you are interested in doing, refinancing, get on the ball with that. gas prices are up, national average, $2.26 per gallon, 24 cents more than this time last year and can you thank the opec deal to cut production leading to expectations of tighter supply as you head into the end of the year. that's it from here, back to "cavuto: coast-to-coast."

. neil: all right, we're getting news out of syrian army has taken out the last group of rebel fighters in aleppo, and that it has full control over a region that looks like dresden germany after the bombing, this was a vibrant commerce and industrial area, rich in retail shops, history, just decimated now, and this was something that we could have prevented. enough blame to go around, concern about barack obama and redline on chemical weapons, brought it to this or whether congress' reluctance to declare outright war in syria brought

it to this, but the government working with russia largely, vladimir putin seems to have won, taken aleppo, the rebels forced out. great controversy worldwide and where they go, we know where they are not, in aleppo. all right, a great deal of controversy about whether social media companies are responsible for spreading terror when they provide a safe haven for bad guys. we talked to a guy representing the victims of that orlando nightclub attack earlier this year says that the assailant there was too much, too close to that. and others have been privy to the same material, other nut cases, other lone wolves who have not been affected by, that they are just crazy and not that it doesn't take them to the next step where they attack. >> that's true, but it doesn't mean that the companies should

not do what they reasonably do to prevent using isis to use their site as an instrument to conduct operations. neil: what he's trying to do is sue the companies that provide the means of like facebook and google and others to allow those who hook up to the organizations to be embolden by the organizations and suing them on behalf of victims of that orlando disco tech terror attack. an attorney says they should be held accountable but another attorney disagrees, why do you disagree, erin? . >> for starters, my heart goes out to the families and love nothing more than justice being served in some form. the big hurtle is the federal law. section 230 of the communication decency act which has been uniformly interpreted by the courts as creating this blanket immunity for internet service providers who are

acting as hosts for speech rather than creators of speech. even if the plaintiffs have shopped their rear ends off and found a judge who could be inclined to revisit these interpretation of the federal law, they have a problem with the underlying claim. how do you prove this causal nexus? especially when there are so many contributing factors which could have been the impetus for this person going off the rails like this. neil: emily, you are not quite convinced. >> i'm not, and here's why, while that defense has worked in the past, this is what the social media sites have stood behind saying we're not responsible for the users' content they post. it has been pierced in. the algorithms the companies are using to create and target users on the other hand, that is creating novel content. the social media sites are not merely providing the platform

which users post things, they are creating novel content when they post ads that targets that user so that defense no longer works. neil: what would you do to address that? would you say they can't do that at all or should be forbidden from doing that? then you are starting to screen and then sometimes you get people saying it's intrusive doing all that. >> if i could jump in quickly. the problem with that argument, from my perspective is it's like putting the cart before the horse. that content that's generated is based upon what the end user is searching. so to say that those targeted ads are somehow the impetus for his radicalization completely ignores the fact that he was the one searching for this information in the first place. let's be honest about it, you don't just stumble about isis propaganda, you got to go looking for it. neil: emily, sounds like what you're saying is don't make it so easy to look for, right?

>> while that's not the legal issue, so the search has nothing to do with the actual provision, so the point is that regardless of who stumbles upon or searches for this content, the content was created in concert with the social media platforms and they do not have the chasm between themselves, their creation and the users' posts that they heretofore have been hiding behind. neil: keep an eye on this but could be one of the precedent-setting lawsuits whether online companies have to share in the kind of nuts that are out there and emboldening there. we'll watch it very, very closely. keeping an eye on the dow, trying to claw its way to 20,000 but doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. two hours left in the trading day. if amazon can deliver doughnuts and ice cream and raw cookie dough in less time, maybe pulls can deliver 20,000, we'll see.

. neil: all right, sean spicer is going to be the new white house press secretary. that is largely expected. he had been serving in that role for the republican national committee, and word that kellyanne conway is counsel to the president. she had askewed that position, spicer was an obvious choice for that. a lot of other names had been mentioned. he has experience with dealing with the press and the renegade republicans when donald trump was marching for the republican nomination, handled it very well, and difficult questions, has an even handed approach to things and doesn't get angry which is a good idea if you are white house press secretary. sean spicer will be the new josh earnest or josh earnest

will be the outgoing sean spicer. stocks on the great amazon sell-off, really? really? connell mcshane on the 20k stall. what are you doing? >> what i did was on my way down here, i got online and ordered macadamia nut ice cream from amazon. it was here in 10 minutes. neil: you got the macadamia. >> adam delivered it personally. i didn't know you liked macadamia nuts. neil: it's the 99th favorite flavor for americans with ice cream. >> my favorite is cookie dough? neil: i've got raw cookie dough. >> raw cookie dough, absolutely right. neil: it says to the packet, you know suzanna devore, you worked with her, right? she said neil, it's okay to eat all the raw cookie dough that you want.

on the front of this package that they delivered, do not consume raw cookie dough, it says your producer lizzie borden is trying to kill you. >> do not consume it. neil: do not consume raw cookie dough. >> raw cookie dough, especially if you had heart surgery! >> let's say hypothetical you had your chest ripped open and heart stopped for five hours. once you get all this. >> my gosh. neil: it looks frantic, there how are you holding up with the pressure? >> well, it is tough to keep everybody calm in situations like this, i'm the man for the job. we're down 16 on the dow, 19,925 and what i was going to say until i started going on about ice cream, it's not that odd when you get on a round number as we did in 1999 with 10,000, for then it was a month before it break through.

it broke through intra-day and took nine session to close above 10,000. it's been a week like this where we're eating ice cream waiting for 20,000. neil: thank you, my friend, very much. merry christmas to you. >> same to you. neil: that was heart felt. i appreciate that. by the way, in the ben & jerry's they have fortune cookies, did you see that? the last one said your staff is trying to murder you. more after this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ how else do you think he gets around so fast? take the reins this holiday and get the mercedes-benz you've always wanted during the winter event. now lease the 2017 gla250 for $329 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer.
