francis newton stacy, with optimal capital director of strategy. francis, thank you for being here. is the market becoming a little more number to the impeachment proceedings, it's going on, people are kind of bored of it, tired of it and the markets continue to march on? >> i think so. i don't think we'll see a real reaction in the markets unless we get an indication that he might be removed from office. you all the markets care about is the china deal, china deal, china deal. instead of it's the economy, stupid, now it's the china trade deal, stupid. ashley: before that, every headline had a 100, 200 point impact. doesn't seem that way right now. are you confident they'll get something done? what happens if we get phase one of the china deal done, we get usmca comes up to a vote and goes through, where do the markets go under that scenario? >> the china trade deal i think is mostly priced in. i think the rise in the markets recently -- you've got global gdp going like this. you've got equity markets going

like this. they're so divergent at this moment in time, i think a lot of the lower volatility and a lot of the up in equities is the anticipation we're going to get a china trade deal which will give us certainty. if we don't get a deal, i see a massive correction coming to reprice the economic data. ashley: when you say massive, what are you talking about? >> it's a little early for that. ashley: like a 5% correction? >> easily, actually. with some of the economic data, it's still kind of hanging in there and some of the economic data has been decelerating for a while, since the third quarter of 2018. so markets have largely been ignoring this scenario because of the china trade deal and i think the volatility is lower than normal because nobody wants to short these markets in front of a possible deal. or a tweet. ashley: there's still a lot of money on the sidelines. they must be kicking themselves because they've been missing the bull reason that's been going for some 10 years. >> that's true. a lot of people got out this fall because they were worried

about china trade volatility and they missed the last leg up and some of them are rushing in. we've got the december 15th cutoff. as far as the china trade deal, i don't think either one has a choice and neither side wants to look like they're bending to the other side but china, the local credit markets are breaking down. they don't have much of a choice. and then trump, for obvious reasons, impeachment and economic data, it's better to get a deal. ashley: five seconds left. so overall you're bullish? >> well, i am bullish. i'm interested to see if the deal comes through and if the deal comes through, i know we're going to get an uptick in nature get. i'm interested to see if that's sustainable or how much is baked in. ashley: the jobs report is coming out. are you confident where we are in the market? >> it remains to be seen. it's very important for the fed and iand the fomc meeting.

cheryl: apple may be changing the way you charge your iphone. there's a huge uproar about it. let's bring in brett larson. >> good morning. apple has been fawned throughout the years -- fond throughout the year of changing ports, getting rid of things, getting new things. that's why we have to carry around adapters so we can use our corded head phones on our newer model phones that still have the lightning connector. there's talk they might get rid of the lightning connector and make it a fully wireless experience. if you have the iphone 8 or greater it can charge wirelessly. you put it on a charging pad, the she charger and off it goes, it. starts to charge. the wireless charging is a little better because it outs ss off once the phone is completely charged up and saves the battery in the long run. what if you're somewhere where there isn't the wireless charging. it's not necessarily a standard just yet. it seems aggressive to be moving

that quickly. ashley: but it is apple. >> it is apple. someone always has to pull the plug -- pun intended. they have to sort of force the hand of -- ashley: for the consumer. >> the wireless charging pads, you can get them for at little as 10 bucks. it's not like it will break the bank. once they go to the portless phone -- cheryl: i don't love my wireless charging. i know we've got to move on but -- >> i don't like having to carry all these adapters. ashley: bill nye is a nice guy, a science guy, he's taking disney to court because he says you owe me money. >> he's been doing science, getting kids interested for 20 years. he's come out and said that disney owes him money for back pay on royalties for the show that he did. he did a show for pbs, it's on netflix as well. he's saying you guys weren't paying me the right amount of money. you were making more money off

few lbs. the husband is now speaking out, the actor. he's a school teacher in vancouver. he says this was a mistake, that people are now mistaking him as his horrible husband despite the fact that he's an a actor. ashley: it could hurt his acting career. >> he said when he made the ad he got positive reviews for it. he has come out and said i don't see what the problem is. as for the price reduction, this is kind of cool. you can get -- they have the peloton app that you can use when you're in your phone, now they'll add it to the apple watch and fire tv and will reduce the monthly price, dropping it about to 12, 50 a month. so, listen -- cheryl: they're trying. >> they're trying. it's a good way to stay in shape. a lot of people don't like going to the gym. they like to work out in their home. i know a lot of people that use peloton because it's still that sort of community feeling of working out. ashley: one day we won't be talking about this story. >> exactly. ashley: not sure when. you can catch brett on fox news headlines 24/7 on sirius xm

at a campaign event. ashley: aishah hasnie has the details. >> reporter: merl goreman was asking joe biden about getting his son 00 tear job in ukraine -- hunter a job in ukraine when the former vp went off. >> you on the other hand sent your son over there in order to get access to the -- you're selling access to the president, just like he was. so you've got to -- >> you're a damn liar, man. that's not true. >> i didn't say you were doing anything wrong. >> you said i set up my son to work in a an oil company. isn't that what you said. get your facts straight, man. >> reporter: biden called him a liar, too old to vote, seemed to

challenge his iq. a spokesperson said he said the word facts, not fat. not a lot of people are buying that. after all of that, biden admits it may not have looked so good for his son to take a high paying job with a ukrainian gas company. biden said it may have looked bad, but didn't do anything wrong and he said that's totally different than a president who held up $400 million in aid for the ukraine military when ukrainians are dying, that is criminal. gorman says he has no regrets about the heated exchange with the former vp. he said it's glad it happened, since all the other questions that were being asked were just soft ball questions. back to you guys. ashley: testy indeed. aishah hasnie, thank you. susan cheryl: moving forward with the articles of impeachment could end up hurting democrats especially as we get closer to

the election. house speaker nancy pelosi raising eyebrows after dodging questions brought the impeachment in the process. joining me to talk more about it, siri kim and kelly grace gibson. kelly, i want to talk to you first. seeing joe biden lose his temper like that, getting into it with that obviously nonvoter, the guy is not going to vote for him. was that a bad look for biden, do you think. >> everybody is waiting for joe biden to step out on all this. he's flying below the radar and numbers are slipping in iowa. the combination of family and politics and lots of passion, but there are responses coming out of this that makes it seems like he's ready for a fight against president trump, that people are waiting for this feistiness. maybe as a campaign professional it wouldn't be my suggestion for a candidate to respond that way, i think that there is a world in which people are starting to see him really gear up for this big fight ahead of him. cheryl: i want to move on to

the impeachment with you, siri, because nancy pelosi telling her caucus to move forward but some are saying she is setting up her members for failure in 2020. we saw how this played out during the bill clinton years and what happened to republicans after that in the following election. are democrats going down the same scary path? >> i do agree that they are going down the same scary path for two reasons. adam schiff, jerry nadler, nancy pelosi, they were all swept into power when newt gingrich lost his speakership after they chose to impeach bill clinton. i think they're very conscientious of that fact. more importantly, people should pay close attention to this calendar. senator elizabeth warren and sense r tore bernisenator bernie taken off the campaign trail and they will be on the well of the senate floor. former vice president joe biden, he will be called as a witness. this is not a hearing where he can dodge whatever he says he thinks he can do.

the chief justice of the united states supreme court will be presiding over this trial and joe biden will be sitting there, testifying. cheryl: kelly, respond to that. >> well, i think that in terms of the senators, biden and warren, or sorry, sanders and warren, having to leave the trail to come back and sit trial, it's not so harmful for democratic voters especially early state voters who are highly educated and support the impeachment in high numbers. as long as their campaigns do a good job communicating to voters that this is a constitutional duty to hold the president accountable, that's something the voters can get behind. as far as joe biden, there is -- it's complicated. it's a very complicated situation between what's happening with the impeachment and the re-election. it's fundamental to the 2020 re-election to proceed with this impeachment because it's all about the president asking for presidents to interfere with our democracy. that's our constitutional you duty to explore and hold him to

account. cheryl: siri, nancy pelosi talked about this. she did the cnn town hall. you know, the moderator very sqy asked her, are you worried about what this will do to the party. in the swing states we're seeing polling especially among independents starting to back you a way for the idea of impeachment, there is less support than there was a week ago. nancy pelosi is not only saying she's not worried about it, she wants to defend the constitution, she doesn't hate the president but she said we should embrace the art as americans. is nancy pelosi hank handling hs well from a pr perspective. >>-- perspective.>> she is not. the constitution is pretty much set in stone and i think the democratic party should be very concerned about the fact that over 20 of their 31 freshmen from 2018 are in districts that president trump won. these people when they talk to their constituents, they want to talk about drug pricing, usmca,

they want to talk about persistent unemployment, they want to talk about the issues as relates to their neighbors. the character of president donald trump is not what they want to talk about and thank you to the democratic party for making donald trump the number one issue in 2020. cheryl: she was asked, look, if he gets reelected because of this, are you going to take the blame. that's when she got he defensive. she brought up the fact that during the bill clinton impeachment hearings he was under impeachment because he was, quote, stupid. that struck he me that she said this about bill lyn clinton. >> she is managing this better than any elected official could. they are talking about the issues concerning their neighbors in addition to the impeachment inquiry. she's trying to put it in context. the donald trump impeachment hearing is nothing like the clinton impeachment hearing. democrats believe that president trump took advantage of his office and that's really

important to get figured out before the 2020 election. the democrats are. minmanaging itjust fine. cheryl: she does know how to read her caucus. thank you so much. enjoy dallas, texas. we'll talk offline about it. i know you just moved. >> thanks, cheryl. cheryl: let's take a look at your money this morning. green arrows, ash. ashley: the dow is up 59 points, it's modest but we'll take it. the s&p is up a quarter of a percent and the nasdaq is up a third of a percent. cheryl: the christmas season for many means christmas movies and no one does them better than the hallmark channel. i sat down with danica mcgeller to see what makes a hallmark movie so special and addictive. and taylor swift giving her fans an early christmas gift. the ama artist of the decade's brand-new christmas song, it's
