now, they say they have a little more than $102 million in the bank. we begin here with trump 2020 communications director tim murtagh on the money raise. happy new year to you. >> happy new year to you, blake. blake: those are big numbers. you guys reported 46 million in q4. 143 million raised for the year. a little more than 100 million in the bank. those are big numbers. >> this is the most amount of money a presidential election campaign in history. $142 million. more than george w. bush or barack obama, preceding their elections. that is a big number. that is the most important number. we have $102.7 million in the bank. blake: essentially a profits of a is about. you bring in fund-raising. spend stuff on rallies and events going forward. what will you use it on then? >> beauty, the money we're talking about in the fourth quarter, the cash on hand, this is not even to count what the rnc raised as well. when those numbers come out for

the fourth quarter, you will see a really, truly, jaw-dropping number. blake: jaw-dropping, how big is it? >> definitely big into nine figures. blake: wow. >> that is without question. so what the rnc, luxury we have working with the rnc, the trump victory program we jointly use with them. funds are entire massive ground game. we'll spread around the different states we try to defend and also pick up the democrat states they want in 2016. meanwhile the campaign can focus on everything else. this is a campaign that will wont for nothing. we will have the resources to do everything that we can possibly want to protect the state has the president won in 2016 and to expand into new states where the president was close. blake: you bring up this 46 million-dollar number in q4, it's a big number, no doubt. when you look at the other side of the aisle, democrats are raising. here are the figures. bernie sanders his campaign announced 34 1/2 million dollars. pete buttigieg, north of 24. even andrew yang's campaign, north of $16 million.

if i were to told you tim, this time last year that the president would raise 46 and that andrew yang and pete buttigieg combined would raise 41. you're laughing, you probably would have laughed me out of the studio a year ago. what do you make of it? democrats are raising money too. >> sure. there is no shortage of people who are willing to throw their money at lost causes. i think it is pretty obvious, people who have no chance whatsoever of becoming the democrat nominee, let alone becoming president of the united states are still out there raising money. when you put the president's campaign and the ability that we have to raise money with the rnc up against the entirety of the democrat field, add them all up together, it is still going to be our side outraising them because, just because of the president's record. his record of success is attracting so many, so many grassroots supporters. that is what is fueling fund-raising. blake: what do you make of the bernie sanders number? this is his best to date and this is not his first cycle. >> it is not his first cycle. what i find interesting when the democrats are all on the debate

stage, making fun for pete buttigieg having a fundraiser in a wine cave, whatever that is, they're ask acting like fundraising is dirty business and would never sully themselves with raising money, when it comes to fund-raising deadline that passed they're bragging about how much they raise, which is it? is it a dirty business or proud of the money you're raising? on the trump campaign, this represents the support for the president's idea of record of his success and agenda. we're happy to talk about the money they raised. blake: before you go, if the president runs against joe biden, president trump wins how many states you believe? >> 50. blake: you know that is not realistic. >> i will not put a number on how many states but resounding number and better than last time. blake: the handicap, sanders or warren. >> we never handicap which one we will face or fear the most. the set of issues regardless candidate gets thrown free of

the record on the democrat side. blake: you need economy saying like this in 2020? >> economy is centerpiece of the president's campaign. it shows no shrines of slowing down and still growing and we're confident it will remain so. blake: tim murtagh, head of trump 2020 communications. thanks, tim. >> thanks. blake: to the kelly jane torrence if the democratic cash haul will translate into votes in iowa. happy new year, kelly jane. >> happy new year to you. blake: blake. blake: i don't know about you, you add the numbers of bernie sanders and andrew yang and pete buttigieg that is a lot of money folks were not talking about months, a year ago. >> exactly, blake. these are guys without huge track records. pete buttigieg, yes, mayor of south bend, indiana, not a huge city. andrew yang certainly been in business, no political experience previously. these guys are pulling in a lot of money but of course, money isn't everything.

i think of the last race. i believe bernie sanders raised in total 230 million in the primary, still lost to hillary clinton. who is one of the most unpopular presidential candidates, i'm glad you say money it everything because at this time last year or last cycle, candidate trump was not putting a lot of money raising money. we know who is sitting in the white house right now. >> exactly, blake. especially democrats. a lot of people think that money is so important and they complain about money in politics you know it's a terrible thing. billionaires shouldn't decide who is the next president as elizabeth warren said but i think they really overemphasize money. yes, money is important and it can help out and get your name out there when you're buying ads but people make their decisions based on what they think of the person, what they think of that person's policies, not just how much they have they have and how many ads they buy. we certainly saw that in 2016. i think you're right, don't read

too much into these numbers. blake: in case you're wondering why we're talking about bernie sanders, pete buttigieg and andrew yang, it is because we haven't yet got the official numbers from joe biden and elizabeth warren. does that, does that foreshadow maybe they might not have been the quarters that they wanted and don't want to put them out in the headlines just yet or still counting up all the dough? >> interesting you noticed that, blake. i think you're right. if they had done as well as bernie they certainly would be trumpeting that fact. i expect, biden might have do a little better than he did the previous quarter which i believe was 22 million. elizabeth warren really disappointing i think was about 17 million. these are two of the front-runners. they're doing a lot worse than their next rival, next closest rival, bernie. i do expect their numbers won't be that great. it has got to be disappointing for them. you talk about how important money is. bernie likes to mention how many

donations he got. i believe he got five million donations. blake: five million individual donors. sanders campaign says he didn't have that much last time around until super tuesday which this year is early march. so they're saying they are a couple months ahead of their schedule. as far as elizabeth warren's campaign foes, her campaign announced a few days ago at end of last year that they had 17 million on hand or 17 million in the quarter. hoping to get to 20. we'll see what they report. kelly jane torrence, from "the wall street journal." good to see you. >> thank you. blake: stocks are kicking off 2020 in record territory. look at that at the corner of wall and broad. the dow pushing up 200 start off the new year. up 193 for now. kristina partsinevelos at new york stock exchange with what is lifting stocks today. hi, there, kristine. >> blake you're right.

all three intoday sighs hitting historic highs for the day today. they're on pace to close out in record territory. we know how that could change in the last minutes of the day. what are the catalysts? easy monetary policy in china. more specifically the central bank over there said banks don't need to hold as much reserve. that is helping funds go into the slow economy. president trump signing a trade deal january 15th. that is adding optimism across the board. if we focus on individual member highs. i will talk about apple. literally from a year ago today the stock is up over 88% at this point. it is trading at $298.28. we had well-known tech analyst gene munster on fox last week. he believes the stock could hit $400.

another major mover, microsoft hitting a all-time high, 52-week high. this is the best it has ever seen in the past decade. highest, look at numbers, $159.41. when we see trade optimism those stocks move up in tandem. talking about forward looking to friday, aka, tomorrow. what are we waiting for? fed minutes from december. that could read a little more what is going on with the economy here. then the u.s. manufacturing ism numbers which also play a big role. so we have numbers coming out tomorrow. could add volatility, or, mirrored highs, blake. blake: another reason to look forward to a friday, right? kristina partsinevelos on the floor of the new york stock exchange. kristina, see ya. tensions rising with iran despite medical like thats with -- militias withdrawing from the u.s. embassy in new york. defense secretary mark esper on how the u.s. is responding. what he had to say as "cavuto: coast to coast"

>> we retain the right of self-defense of our forces, our interests, our partners the region. we said that very clearly since my time in office now and at the time where iranian-sponsored attacks on the saudi oil facilities as well. we need to stand up to iran and we need them to behave like a normal country. blake: that was the u.s. defense secretary mark esper earlier this morning as president trump is sending about 750 troops, additional troops, to the middle east after protesters tried to storm the u.s. embassy in baghdad. those iranian-backed militia members have since withdrawn but it was quite the scene in iraq just a couple days ago. here now the hudson institute senior fellow rebecca heinrichs, sending u.s. troops. she says that is not the answer to all of this.

hello, good to see you. >> good to be here. blake: that is not the answer. why? >> depends on what the mission is. immediately, if the immediate mission is to protect u.s. forces in the region you got to do what you got to do. that is the response that we need in order to protect our immediate interests. but if the larger goll is to kick iran-iraq it will take a lot more forces than that. we're sort of playing on the margins here. it is not going to be sufficient. blake: what do you need to do, then? >> at this point -- blake: when you look at that larger goal, clearly the short-term work, iranian-backed militia members pulled out of the embassy, that scene calmed down for now but the bigger picture is iran in iraq. >> my concern, that the remember rain government said the retaliatory response which had to the right to do. they killed one of our contractors. we responded, killed 30 of their

guys. the irrackky government said we're. it is we need to put pressure on iraqi government, to defend themselves and kick iranians out. blake: the u.s. responded with missiles sent to iranian forces based inside of iraq. if tensions player up even more with iran in this region, do you think we ever get to the point where u.s. missiles sent inside of iran? >> i think it is a distinct possibility and i think the iranian government -- blake: big possibility soon? >> i think that the u.s. government is trying to look at prudent and measured responses. and i don't think that the iranian government should interpret the united states not responding that way up to this point that president trump is unwilling to do so. the president wants us to get focused on china and deter china. secretary esper said that at the reagan forum in california. this is not a government that wants to pour more troops in the region but if iranian government forces our hand we'll do it. blake: president said he put

14,000 troops into that region since may. they are banning the soldiers from using the app tiktok on government owned devices. navy banned the platform as well. the issue it is a beijing company and all issues with china. now another government branch is saying not on our technology. >> the important thing if it is made in china there is no distinction between the chinese government what we understand as americans as private companies there is no distinction. so if you have an app made in china it's a security risk. you should behave as though you recognize that. if it is being operated or being used by army officials, it is a threat. we don't know exactly how the china government is using that but -- blake: do we know they are using isn't. >> i think we have been ambiguous, the government has been ambiguous. no reason to believe they are not. this is great power competition.

blake: might it be time to consult your computer? google's new intelligence system can match some cases outperform radiologists when detecting breast cancer. interesting one. susan li with the details on a this susan? >> google is pushing deeper into health care. they have developed a artificial intelligence system that either matches, or they say outperforms

radiologists in detecting waste cancer. looking at the results would say that the improvement is marginal as best. this was published in the journal nature. they were fed 25,000 mammograms from the uk and 3,000 from the u.s. according to results it reduced missed cases by 9.4% in the u.s. and 2.7% in the uk. as for reducing incorrect positive reads, google helped to reduce the wrong diagnoses by 5.7% as you see in the u.s. and just 1.2% respectively in the uk. these are not huge numbers. this is not huge improvement we're looking at. google, also by the way, beat six radiologists they say in determining whether certain patients would actually develop breast cancer in the future. they also published results that google wasn't always better than the real-life doctors. while the a.i. system caught

cancers the radiologists missed, the radiologists in u.s. caught cancers that google missed. the results are a bit mixed there is concerns about privacy and data control. we know google is working with ascension, the largest catholic health care system across the u.s. in this project nightingale reported by "the wall street journal," hundreds of millions of patients actually don't know google has access to their health data. brad, back to you. blake: you got to remember, whether they have to go to another doctor or ai technology. >> why not. blake: susan li, thanks, good to see you. a push to go booze-free by the companies that make the booze. grady trimble has the details on this january 2nd. grady, what is this all about? reporter: blake it has to do with dry january. that is for people that indulged or overindulged during the holidays and they want to cut

globally. seeing a big positive reaction in the markets to get new year underway. blake: china has done this in the recent past as well. should we see more in the year ahead. >> we'll see how the economy goes. the chinese economy slowed from 10% rate of growth, 20 years ago, 15 years ago, to five or 6% growth if you measure it properly today. that is much slower and because of concerns about trade wars and adjustments in the chinese economy, weakness in the property market, there is concerns about exposure to the chinese property market there is a real chance that the chinese authorities will have to continue to pump money. every time you see in the past china pumped money in the economy in particular, to ease pressure on the chinese economy it is generally very good for global markets. it represents significant injection much money global markets. people want to buy more stocks and assets more generally. blake: gerry, you know the argument president trump is making in his view the trade war has dragged china down. the u.s. market continues to

roar like we see today, thus the u.s. is a big winner, china is the big loser. that is part of his view. we're told he is headed to davos or expected to be headed to davos in a few weeks time. that event is january 20th, which would be the three-year anniversary of the president raising his right hand and putting left one on the bible here in washington. i guess it would be kind after victory lap to go before world economic forum leaders, look at me, look at us? >> that's right, blake. first of all he will try, before davos he will sign phase one of the trade deal to get it done. blake: january 15th. >> you may recall he went to davos two years ago. he doesn't go last year. the davos is gathering of world's self-appointed global elite who tell the rest of the world how they should be behaving. he gave them a big speech

planning how he plan to changed the way america would do business around the world t wept over surprisingly well given the audience. he didn't go last year because of the government shutdown. he is certainly stronger than most of the economies in europe which are heavily represented at davos and where most of the disdain for president trump has been the last couple years. he has a strong story to tell about the u.s. economy. he has a strong story to tell so far about some of the trade progress he made whether with usmca or some of the trade progress with china. he has got, he is in a pretty strong position. so, whether or not, however, they will listen to him and, accept some of the things that he has done have been beneficial is another matter entirely. he is certainly in a strong position to make the case is has been very successful three years on the economic front. blake: of course as you know didn't go last year because of the government shutdown. we'll see if he goes this year eventually because of the whole senate impeachment trial could be going on at that time. no one knows the schedule. we have to leave it there, gerry

at very low level in beginning of 2019. we had a deep selloff at end of 2018. we're only about 10% higher. that makes the market seem more reasonable than people think. blake: the market and the economy are undoubtedly doing incredibly well. also the president, believed will have a re-election fight on his hands because not necessarily everyone is feeling this. do you think that eventually plays out in 2020 or by the time we get there, more people say you know what? , this has helped my pocketbook? >> i mean i certainly think that if you look at past presidential elections, one, if you look at over the past 100 years, 10 of the 13 re-election campaigns went to the incumbent. 77% of the time. the times they didn't were carter of course and then president bush, sr. those times were economic opinions or public opinions of the economic side of things were weak. that is not the case now. so, i'm not too worried about

it. one thing i'm a little concerned about the election, business confidence has been generally weak, somewhat due to trade policy uncertainty. i wonder if tax policy uncertainty weighs on businesses looking at the election. blake: i would ask you real briefly, one word answer you think people benefited from market or tax policy? >> i would say most people benefited from the market. blake: interesting. got to leave it there. shawn snyder, citi personal wealth management. thanks for coming in. good to hear from you. taxing times for tesla. what the loss of a tax credit means for the price of its cars. tesla is doing big business in china. that is coming up. ♪. so what are you working on? >>i'm searching for info on options trading, and look,

follows on february 1st. we ask them how they feel about the tax credit? was it the tax credit that drove their super fan dom or lack of a better word for tesla? or was it the fact they really love the car. i tell you it is split 50/50. we think in the u.s. we'll see decline of tesla sales because of loss of tax credit. blake: it is not the loss of 1875. at one point it was 7500. when you do that up, do taxes at 20, 25, 30% clip on top end, whatever you might be in if buying a tesla, add in that the gas savings. it ads up to a lot of money. take the 7500-dollar credit away, one-time shot you might think twice. >> absolutely. like i said, general motors will follow suit in april. it will be interesting to see. i do believe tesla has got super fans what i like to call them. they absolutely love the car because of the environmental

issues. the fact it is clean and it its electric. it will be interesting to see whether those fans stick with tesla. or whether they were fair weather fans. blake: here is the interesting timing, at least i think. here we sit on january 2nd, 2020, and that tax credit goes away. meantime the story over last few days with tesla, or at least one of them, they delivered model 3s in china. the timing isn't necessarily convenient there, right? i mean that's, there is a reason and a purpose behind that, is it not? >> i agree. tell you as of last friday, elon musk was able to get a 3600-dollar, u.s. dollar tax credit in china for the purchasers of those cars. so that is kind of a burn, right? kind of a double burn. like what elon musk could lose u.s. tesla consumers he will pick up in china. blake: china is helping them out. locally-made tesla three over there will be exempt from a 10% tax there too. >> yes, yes.

10% or 3600 u.s. dollars. there is 1000 of those rolling off the assembly line as we speak, per week. blake: per week. they're hoping to get 3,000 potentially per week. tesla stock meantime continues to sit right around the 420-dollar mark. that elon musk, 426 you can see famously talked about. lisa copeland. got to leave it there. good to hear from you. interesting perspective. thank you. >> thank you. blake: coming up the company that says smokers need not apply. we'll tell you which one. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right.

destroyed families. it has filled jails and prisons with non-violent offenders. it has disproportionately affected black and brown communities. reporter: big motivator is revenue. recreational pot is expected to generate $500 million for the state. the pension debt obligations are the billions. city of chicago has same issue. pot revenue is a drop in the bucket for the deficit but the cannabis users want their weed. >> how does it feel to be the first buyer? >> better than christmas when i got a barbie dream house. this is really exciting. it is wonderful. reporter: now the street level illegal pot dealer is not necessarily going out of business because that guy doesn't have to deal with taxes or regulations. the street level dealer is considerably cheaper. talking with people at the legal dispensary they take comfort in the regulations particularly as it relates to the vaping

products. they know this stuff is regulated a bit safer. they will pay the extra. blake? blake: as far as i can see, 43 stores across the state only have conditions to be able to do this. as you mention not like the street person will go away anytime soon. mike tobin in chicago for us. thank you. president trump changing his tune on vaping? he is expected, maybe even within the next few hours here to announce a limited ban but listen to what he said back in september. >> it's again very new and potentially very bad. there have been deaths and there have been a lot of other problems. people think it is an easy solution to cigarettes but it turns out it has its own difficulties. blake: to americans for tax reform paul blair. paul, thanks for coming on in. >> absolutely. blake: good to see you. i know you're in the middle of this issue. the president in the oval office alongside the first lady and the hhs secretary gave the impression that there would be a complete ban in september.

this is going to be a very versal we believe, why? >> i think for a couple reasons. the facts have become a little more clear today than they were in september when a lot of the vaping illnesses, even in some cases deaths were falsely attributed to legal nicotine products. what we now know today as a result of an examination that the cdc has done is that the products that were getting people sick across the country were black market, illicit marijuana and thc products. they were not legal nicotine products that adult users are using to quit that you can find in convenience stores and vape shops. that led to this change in opinion. blake: there is more data. there is data on youth and youth usage that has come out. there is polling that we know. according to polling that was done by mcglocklin and associates a few months ago, here is what the polling showed. the trump administration banned sales of flavors in all nicotine products would that make you

more likely or less likely to vote for president trump for president? more likely 2%. less likely, 74%. the white house saw this polling and then it got the vaping industry in its ear. you could argue this is the swamp, that the president has campaigned against. >> well look, i think the vapor voter is an important component of modern right of center political coalition, i do not think in september the white house fullied into how passionate the people who successfully quit smoking using e-cigarettes preserving access to those products. this was a grass roots of campaign across the country of adult vapors, weighing in with the white house, slow down, consider sensible regulations. the 1920ss were no successful case against prohibition. teens will always experiment, despite marijuana illegal. blake: health crisis among teens? >> we don't want teens using

nicotine. we don't want steens -- teens using products but we have to balance with adults limited teen access to the product. we've done raising age to use the products to 21 which the president just signed. blake: speaking of that, you can't get a job at u-haul at least starting next month. the truck and trailer company it will stop hiring smokers and nicotine users in 21 states. so if you smoke, want a job at u-haul, 21 states will say no, we're not hiring you. your thoughts there. >> it's a little silly. it's a little silly. you certainly don't want adults wasting time on the job but to limit their ability to use products as precondition for employment i think moves in the wrong direction, for entrepreneurs or people entering the workforce. i think it is kind of silly that states move into that direction. blake: when if they say you can't vape? >> many cases adults vaping are quitting smoking. that is more absurd than limiting ability to smoke.

at the end of the day you want consumers to transition to less harmful activities. if you tell an adult they can't do that. tell a smoker they can't do that. that would be a reckless decision. blake: paul blair, americans for tax reform. you have to leave it there. >> thanks for having me. blake: "cavuto: coast to coast," surprising surge in fund-raising how it might shake up the race. the numbers are in. did you see what those two raised? it ain't small. your credit cat into one monthly payment. and get your interest rate right so you can save big. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k. i come face to face with a lot of behinds. ...

fever pitch, as we are just four weeks out, from the iowa caucus. andrew yang and pete buttigieg seeing a major surge in campaign cash pulling in a combined when you add them up $41 million last quarter alone, bernie sanders, the big winner though from all that at least has been reported with $34.5 million, but sanders massive money haul still more than 10 million behind president trump. the trump campaign announcing today it has pulled in $46 million the past quarter, here is the communications director telling me they are just getting started. >> this is a campaign that will want for nothing and we will have the resources to do everything we could possibly want to protect the states that the president won in 2016 and to expand into new states where the president was close. the economy is definitely going to be a center piece of the president's campaign and it shows no signs whatsoever of slowing down. >> to the federal senior editor chris bedford, district media group president beverly halberg,

and mark avalone. hello, all good to have you in. >> happy new year. >> you all have a good one? >> it was great. welcome back. chris, let's start with you. what stood out there when you see all of those numbers, bernie sanders, yang, pete buttigieg, the president so far reporting you takeaway what? >> the only one i didn't expect was yang. >> 16 million, that's not like a small chunk. >> he raised 10 million in q3 so this is increasing enthusiasm for yang. he's not simply going away. he's maying the money and it seems like people are donating to him and are interested in him pete buttigieg was less surpris ing because he's a big, he's got a lot of fans on wall street and the financial liberal circles, but bernie sanders just as someone who reporters just started to somehow notice recently in january. >> well poll numbers have picked up. >> but he's been in the top two or three the entire time, in 2016 he was written off by reporters who turned up he has been filling crowds in these

states with 5 million individual donors that's impressive. >> ahead of super tuesday, beverly for takeaway? >> the most important thing when it comes to bernie sanders is here is somebody who was 78 years old with a heart attack on october 1 and seems to be so far the top fundraiser for the democratic primary which is pretty impressive. the numbers he's pointing to though is that the average donation was $18 and that he had 30,000 new donors on the last day of 2016 so when you think about how many people are donat ing you see that there is some people still feeling the burn and i also think when it comes to elizabeth warren she's the one who will struggle from this the most. >> mark if i told you last year there would be two people named pete buttigieg and andrew yang and they would raise $40 million in a quarter, you would have said get out of here. >> well i think the markets are digesting these two names and i think what you'll see is a lot of enthusiasm from the democrats , cumulatively this is a lot of money trump beat them all on an individual basis but cumulatively there's energy here and the markets however stay on hold for a while from the prime

democrat primary side because they don't know whose going to pull ahead and it's not until after super tuesday, or even until the convention, that the stock market is going to weigh in. >> i think it's also when you take another reading of just how well the economy is doing when you look at all of this money. you look at the last few cycles, 2008 led into a recession, 2012, 2016 we're into an economic up-tick into now you're looking joe biden has in reported yet, elizabeth warren the democrats when you add those in are around 100 million, the president was at 46, and the rnc is going to report nine figures, you add it all up the dnc, you're talking about hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, chris. >> the rnc has beaten every single fundraising record this year except for january because of trump's inauguration previously. there's a ton of money flowing into this. it's going to be a massive race and right now the republicans

are definitely ahead but it's on every single level in fundraising. >> ahead in what sense? >> development and fundraising and new donors especially after this impeachment craze but what is going to we're going to have to see is what happens the democrats candidate. >> that's the question when all this money, candidate a, b, c, d , you got one dropped out what percentage of that flows to the person who might have been donating to someone but the nominee was their fourth choice. >> i think they keep all of that money and maybe more. there's a lot of anti-trump sentiment on the democratic side and i think we're seeing a taste of it when you look at these cumulative numbers so early in the process. >> meantime stocks roaring in 2020 at the record, the dow was up 190 and it led many still feel left out of the markets, massive momentum there, the numbers the dow is up 180 right now about two-thirds of a percent today. what about that beverly?

that if you're in the market, and you bought a house, a handful of years ago or a decade ago, you're doing great. but if you don't have both or maybe one or the other you might not be feeling as hot as your next door neighbor. >> i'm sure over the holidays a lot of people looked at their 401 (k) and how it did this year , very very well, but one thing you do hear from democratic candidates who focus on two main sectors, where the average american house struggled now it comes down to healthcare cost and higher education, these are two sectors that people are struggling in, average person is struggling in, everybody has some type of hold in that especially when it comes to healthcare, problem with the democratic candidates they keep saying that government is the answer but government is what got us there to begin with. >> you've got more companies coming out over the last two days saying they are raising the price of prescription drugs we'll get into that later on in the show and i asked tim, the economy do you need it to be at this level come november, october, november for the president to win and the campaign thinks that it's just going to keep ongoing.

do you believe that? >> i think a recession in 2020 is highly unlikely at this point. remember they report looking back a quarter as well, so for there to be a reported recession and for people to feel pain from an economic slow down, that's going to have to occur before november and this economy is roaring and not looking to slow down any time at all this calendar year. >> you know we've heard it's the economy, stupid. >> right. >> there's all these prediction s that the economy is just going to keep roaring. what if it just stays at this like if it were to stay at this level and flatline, up and down but generally stay within let's call plus or minus 3%. the president is going to be able to go out there and say we'll get the numbers over the last four years, try to beat that, whoever the democratic candidate is. >> steady is beautiful for this economy and good for the president's re-election hopes. gdp north of 2%, unemployment in the mid 3s, corporate earnings up or at least expected this calendar year, that's a recipe for a steady market, the levels are high enough for people to

feel wealthy, to be optimistic and it's how people feel about the economy that drives a lot of their decision. >> chris what about what beverly was hitting at which is you might be looking at their healthcare costs and republicans i remember they said they are getting rid of obama, public polls show that 75% of this country likes their healthcare situation if they have it, and some folks might be sitting at home saying i don't want any sort of change and you saw what happened in 2018 with the house. >> there's not a lot of popularity amongst the republicans in this country. a lot often thousand jax is for president trump. that's the person they want to back. a lot of republican you'll see with congressmen and senators who were very weary of him who were saying okay now they are trying to attach themselves as closely as they can to the president because he is the driving force, they do remember the republicans didn't help with obamacare. they weren't able to repeal it and the individual mandate yes but huge aspects of it no and there's some anger at that. i don't think that the leader of

this republican surge here was going to be mitch mcconnell or even kevin mccarthy. it's going to be the president. the one good sign for all of them, and everyone basically, in washington, especially the party in power, is wages increase in the united states for the first time after decades. >> the federal reserve bank of atlanta says 4.5% for the bottom 25%, so labor department reports 3.7% i think it is year-over-year so wages are increasing if you look at when the president got in office and even to what could be reported for years end. the administration points out it could amount to $5,000 or so and then they also talk about the tax cuts real quick. >> here is the narrative we're hearing for democrats. they realize a recession isn't going to happen so what they are saying is the average american didn't feel the benefits but going back to campaign spending looking at the numbers of how much people spent in december, average americans are feeling the benefits of this economy. chris, beverly, mark stay there for a second. still to come, new year, same old grid lock, maybe. how problems on capitol hill

welcome back to cavuto coast to coast. we continue to follow the developments out of the meats as iran backed malitia are retreat ing from the u.s. embassy in baghdad following days of attacks there. trey yingst has the latest from jordan. trey? >> >> reporter: blake, good morning iran and the united states both appear to be preparing for the possibility of a direct military confrontation after that embassy siege earlier this week. as we speak there are hundreds

of american troops headed to a u.s.-based in kuwait and these troops are members of the 82nd airborne division. their battalion has thousands of more sold yours and also on standby. they are continuing their own rhetoric, a top commander in iran's revolutionary guard said his country was not moving towards war but isn't afraid of conflict. that commander adding iran has the power to break america several times. all of this after that u.s. embassy siege in baghdad earlier this week for two days, iran malitia-men and protesters destroying parts of the embassy lighting fires in other parts of the compound. this all in response to a u.s. strike, on sunday that killed at least 25 members of the iran-backed malitia group hezbollah. u.s. defense secretary mark espe r today not ruling out future offensive american strike s. >> people know that we have vast capability to do any number of things. we will act in response to actions by iran or its proxies and we will act to preempt any attacks on our forces, our

personnel, by iran or its prox ies. >> iran's supreme leader overnight said he would be hope to talks with the united states, if president trump would first lift sanctions on the islamic republic and the trump adminitration has been very clear that they continue to keep up this maximum pressure campaign, and they will do so in the future, so iran and the united states still at a stalemate for the region. blake? >> indeed in a big story as we kickoff 2020 live for us in jordan, trey, thank you. well drug prices are going up in the new year, with any hope of a fix going down. so is time running out on the president's agenda and really democrats and republicans in washington to get something done on this. back with our panel, beverly, when you look at the prices of drug prices basically these companies, it was a company who looked at some of the major players and said prices are going up for the most part, a bit beneath 10% on average about

5%. it's an increase, it runs above wages and it runs above inflation. >> look there is a tough issue, a reason by both president trump and democratic elected officials come out and said we need to have some type of a fix that when it comes to the market aspect you do have to be careful and you want to give the incentive for businesses to spend money on research in order to develop these life saving drugs. if you remove that financial incentive are we going to have the same type of strides and gains we've seen with so many new drugs coming on the market so there is really a balance one thing you can do is allow generic companies or drugs to come into the market sooner to help with cost but overall it's a tough issue on all sides. >> they say the usmca keep the cap that allows companies though to keep generics off the market longer? >> right. >> that was something that democrats didn't want to do right? >> correct. >> so they had their chance in the usmca. speaking of democrats, this is largely an issue, surprise medical billing for one, bringing drug prices down with it that democrats and republican s want to get donald

when i asked the white house what are you going to get done in 2020 chris the main policy was get usmca passed in the senate, and tackle surprise medical billing and prescription drugs. they talk about it and want to get it done. will anything happen this year? >> it's going to be pretty difficult. >> why it's democrats and reporters and the white house say let's do this. >> because democrats don't want to give any wins to republicans. >> they just gave them usmca. >> it took a little while and i was surprised that happened. pelosi largely wants to push this away keep these away because we're especially now that the politics are ramping up , any win is not good; however if there is going to, it's not good for democrats. if there is a bill that they could come together on, on any of this, it would be something like drug prices, because all of their constituents wanted, there are probably no losers to any of the voters really care about the corporations might get hit, and to your point but the voting blocks will not be the only losers if d.c. can get something done to keep these prices down.

>> mark you hear about these drug companies raising prices at 5% and part of you says 5% okay, i can stomach that, but again, when you're talking about more than inflation, more than wage gains, it starts to creep into that territory of when a drug price is too high. >> right and they are an easy target in a political year and president trump has great political instincts on this whether he gets this passed or not regulation, regulating prices he's going to be able to say he's fighting the pharma companies, that's a win for him and he's picked up on something that has common sense appeal for every american and that is why do americans pay more for the same drug than someone in canada or europe. if he pounds that on the election trail doesn't matter if legislation passed. >> but what could be done about that, anything? because right now there's no cap saying drug x, you can't put a cap on that, to make sure it never crosses that threshold. >> part of this is big pharma is big lobby so they do give to a lot of campaigns where nancy

pelosi even with the usmca was in a tough position, as she knew that democrats who voted for impeachment needed to come back with something to their district , and because the agriculture community had been hurt by these tariffs, that's what she wanted to bring back as a win when it comes to drug companies and they are also paying for some of these campaigns so it's a tricky one. big pharma is big lobbying we just saw what happened with vaping, as lobbying industry got involved with that one and there was a little bit of a turn from the white house. good point that you brought up there. got to leave it there. stick around, we'll have you all throughout the rest of the hour. meantime still to come on cavuto coast to coast we'll have more after the break as the market continues to run and we'll be right back. turn on my tv and boom,

it's got all my favorite shows right there. i wish my trading platform worked like that. well have you tried thinkorswim? this is totally customizable, so you focus only on what you want. okay, it's got screeners and watchlists. and you can even see how your predictions might affect the value of the stocks you're interested in. now this is what i'm talking about. yeah, it'll free up more time for your... uh, true crime shows? british baking competitions. hm. didn't peg you for a crumpet guy. focus on what matters to you with thinkorswim. ♪

well fox business is invest ed in you and we want to hear from you. we'll be holding a live audience show january 22, if you want to be a part of it go to fox business.com and all the details are right there. the video game console wars now coming to a head. the nextgen regulations of playstation and xbox both expected to come out this year, but gamer world news entertainment host says that it's unlikely that these would be the last physical models and i guess that sounds right as technology changes day to week to month to year it almost seems like so what's the story of video games in 2020? >> it's very interesting i tend to look at this from a historical perspective and i think 2020 is an inflection point for the video guam industry. >> how so. >> the reason is the next generation consoles are coming out from microsoft and sony says this is the xbox series and playstation 5 and it's quite

possible these consoles may be the final generation of video game consoles before everything moves on know these cloud-based subscription services. cloud-based streaming which is what just about every other industry is moving towards. >> netflix from games. >> when i hear cloud-based streaming i think about amazon. they could be getting involved in this somehow? >> every tech company is getting involved. google already, they were the first movers here, they had a cloud-based streaming service, microsoft is getting involved and amazon is getting involved and if i had to pick a winner microsoft is in the best position to succeed because they have been making video games for decades with a huge library. if you look at what happened to google when it first came out -- >> you could say that about blockbuster moving forward and look what happened to netflix so it's the best position where you want to be at the starting point of the next decade. >> they certainly had the first mover advantage, but one of the greatest weaknesses is that they

actually don't have a history of making video games. microsoft does so when this new technology comes into play you have to be able to sell it to the video games and say that we have this new technology but cool games. >> so you've got to play the video game and the couch with the big screen tv and all of that. you've got the box there. with streaming, are you able to do it on the cell phone, put your ipod in or your ear pods and do it there if you want? what's the future there? >> that's basically you can play it on tv, switch on to your computer, on to your phone, and it's going to fundamentally re shape mobile games because right now, mobile games are simple and some people criticize them, but when you have the best games out there, you know, on your phone. >> as a father of two young children, is this going to get more expensive or less expensive in the decade because at things move off the television into the phone i'd think streaming that it might get cheaper, right? >> it should get cheaper,

that's the whole point is that when you're investing in a new video game console you'll have to pay like $500 and the whole point of streaming technology is to completely bypass this. save you some money for your kids. >> all right the question is what else do you spend it on then? tian wang, very interesting good to hear from you. well the fda finalizing a ban on flavored e-cigarettes that appeal to children, the news is just dropping on this, and we'll have a live report coming up from the white house, and what we're learning, that's next. whoa, this is awful, try it. oh no, that looks gross what is that?

well this is breaking within the last few minutes here as the fda has just finalized enforcement policy on unauthorized flavored cartridge- based e-cigarettes that appeal to children, including fruit and mint. the bottom line here, we'd been awaiting a decision on vaping what would be allowed and the administration had once talked about a ban. it is now a partial ban. edward lawrence has the details right now, at the white house. so edward what are we learning here? >> reporter: yeah, what we know now is that the fda says that they will give 30 days now for companies to stop selling these flavored vaping cartridges, or the fda will start to take enforcement measures related to those vaping cartridges. now as you said the president wanted a full ban. you talked about that last

september; however, this is sort of a compromise from the administration on that between a full ban, and having a partial ban. this limited ban though will not include some flavors like tobacco, as well as other flavor s just menthol is the other flavor, because that's a stepping stone according to the vaping industry, off of cigarettes and the president of the industry, the administration does not want to stop that ban, and now the limited ban as a compromise it will also effect the closed package containers not the open mixtures sold in vaping stores. this limited ban stems from a november 22 meeting with executives at the white house. you may remember it became heated. you also may remember seeing it play out live on television. the argument seems to have sway ed the president off the total ban. he changed his tune making comments late on new years eve. listen. president trump: we have to protect our families. at the same time it's a big industry we want to protect the industry, and as you know, we'll

be taking it off, the flavors for a period of time, certain flavors. we're going to protect our families, protect our children and protect the industry. >> and the president adding that if everything is okay and deemed safe then the ban could be lifted on this but the fda is going to look into this. the fda also leading the examination of the entire industry may 12, they will have the folks in the industry will have to submit applications for their flavors, pre-market applications. if they do not submit that by may 12, then after may 12, the fda says the enforcement will target those companies that don't have the applications in. the whole goal for the president is to make sure the kids don't start vaping which then could lead to other as a gateway drug to other things. back to you. >> edward those in the industry will tell you that may 12 deadline almost as important as the decision and the direction coming down from the white house that we just heard now and the

fda. edward lawrence live at the white house edward thank you. well just keep on trucking on, as the federal judge telling truckers to get back on the road , as california's new gig law gets tested. to the cow guy at merrick solutions scott sheledy. hello, scott good to see you in outfit in 2020, new year new decade. >> happy new year. >> so we were awaiting this ruling from california, basically uber and lyft had sued california saying that this new gig law that would make it harder to make gig workers contractors, they sued before the new year and the ruling came down not with uber and lyft but as it relates to truck drivers, which says that these truckers now don't necessarily have to be subjected to this law. what's the big deal here? >> well, a couple of thing, i think. number one, i think the uber and lyft models are going to run

into some troubles going forward and i think the stock price is already telling you that they are more easily replicated and those businesses i think are at risk and you know what? it's nice to see -- >> what do you mean by before we get into the truckers what do you mean by at risk? >> okay how about this? airbnb, they go city to city, country to country that type of business model is very hard to replicate. i like airbnb, but do you know what? in a city, you can have just a local lyft or uber depending on what kind of name you want to call it. i was just in china right? its got its own little uber they can replicate that model without having to have the things to say an airbnb. now we talk about that new economy, airbnb's model is much more difficult to replicate because those go farther and wider than say city by city like uber and lyft so that's why i think they are going to struggle and it's more difficult, but also it's nice to see something come down on the side of the truckers because you know, 26 or

27 of the states in the u.s. , out of 50, trucking is the number one industry right? and they've been getting all of this heat from how many hours they can work to, our uber and lyft or at least driverless vehicles putting them out of business. to some degree our own government is going to really push that technology and maybe even trying to put their own businesses out of business so with the truckers 26 out of 50 states it's the number one industry and of those states, it's the number one industry for those that don't have a college education so this is really going towards middle america, so it's nice to see something land in their laps for once instead of getting taken away. >> scott part of the argument from uber and lyft before the new year before ab5 this new law in california went into play was that they said that they were being unfairly targeted that this law was specifically going after uber, lyft, postmates those in that field, but now with this ruling out in

california, do you think it helps uber and lyft's case or hurts them? >> i don't think it's fair to say that they are being unfairly targeted. this is an issue and it's not only just them. there are other industries that have groundbreaking technologies that are kind of making end road s that way and we're still kind of trying to find our footing when it comes to technology right? not to get off subject but we've got a lot of folks going on about the minimum wage being $15 an hour and what technology is starting to do to that so these economies are changing and look the bigger picture again i don't want to get too off topic but look what wages are doing? they aren't doing that much that's because we've got all these new technologies sneaking in and they are supplementing their income. >> but according to the federal reserve bank of atlanta is not enough? >> no, do you know what i don't like anybody doing anything like that. how about that. it's my best answer. why can't we just let the market

decide what you should get rather than have some people mandate x percent, or $15 an hour. i think that's a local economy's decision and if the demand is there and then it supports it but if that's the case why don't we just give everybody a raise because that helps as the left would say that's going to help gdp if everybody gets higher wages. >> got to leave it there, good to see you scott. happy new year. >> good to see you. >> coming up google different tech company outperforming doctors in detecting breast cancer. how ai could be part of the fight in the future. the details on this one and fascinating numbers behind it, coming up. with sofi, get your credit cards right by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. and get your interest rate right so you can save big. get a no-fee personal loan up to $100k.

"for 22 years i had a courtside seat to watch david in action. he was a mentor and one of my dearest friends and we spent hours in the office, at arenas or on planes. david had extraordinary talents but with him it was always about the fundamentals, preparation, attention to detail, and hard work." that's what stern's legacy will be. he revolutionized the nba in a lot of ways focusing on the branding, the business, the stars, larry byrd, magic johnson and michael jordan and lebron james. stern is also remembered for creating the wnba in 1997. michael jordan said this. "without david stern the nba

would not be what it is today. he guided the league through turbulent times the grew the league into an international phenomenon creating opportunities that few could have imagined before." stern's business legacy making the nba one of the most popular franchises in the world, he boosted nba revenue from 118 million the season before he took over to 5.5 billion in 2,014 when he retired, and he also single handedly raised rev into you from television broadcasts 10 million a year, to roughly 900 million. now stern made the league an international powerhouse, 150 international games televised in more than 200 countries and territories, in more than 40 languages. it's an understatement blake to say he will be missed. >> also created the nbdo, which is the g league jackie a lot of people growing up when david stern was running the nba including myself, thought man that would be a cool job to have to be like david stern the nba

commissioner. he was that good. jackie thanks. well stocks kicking off 202s is exactly what we want to see to start off a new year and a new decade a good omen potentially going forward we'll have more coming up on cavuto coast to coast. i'm really into this car,

but how do i know if i'm getting a good deal? truecar knows exactly how much people have been paying for the car i want. i tell truecar my zip and what car i'm into, and it shows me the truecar curve. this shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car. looks like these folks paid a little more than everyone else. and this guy got the deal of a lifetime. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar. (narrator) before you buy a car, see what others paid for it with truecar.

welcome back. japanese authorities have now

issued a wanted notice for the former nissan chair, carlos goen , after he fled corruption charges in japan, just like that in the middle of the night. to making money host charles payne. hello there charles happy new year. did you buy your ticket to the carlos goen movie? you know it's coming at some point. it's just fascinating. charles: it's certainly not a matter for hollywood because it's a new script. he's still got it though the ceo skills came in handy. running a multi-national corporation on several continents and knowing how to engineer thins he put it altogether in the great escape and it's really intriguing. i'd say there's so many elements to this on tuesday, rather, i listened to a talk that he gave at stanford business and it was really compelling and he talked about the challenges of being a foreigner in japan that need to form alliances and not worry about ruffling feathers and it was really compelling and building up to this moment and

how many people perceive the way he's been treated since this whole saga began, it's really remarkable. >> reuters is reporting it was a three-month plan in the making that was over seen by private security firm and they are cit ing sources and they say that he isn't going to talk about it because he doesn't want to out who was involved. charles: he did come out saying his family was not involved because there's early speculation his wife was involved and he certainly does not want them implicated at all. it doesn't seem like they probably would have had to have been. already we seen the rest in certain parts of the world, turkey, so, we'll see what happens, but he's not going to get extradited he's of lebanese descent and he's seen as a hero. many people including myself i felt like he was getting a raw deal in japan by the legal system. >> and wouldn't have made it through the legal system all of the numbers show like 99% conviction rate. speaking of we'll see what happens as you said. let's move to politics to president trump in a second, first though to bernie sanders. president trump though did out

pace democrats with a $46 million fourth quarter fundraising, let's actually start with the president. here is the trump campaign communications director told me that that is just a part of the number because the rnc number, charles, he says will be even bigger. listen here. >> the money that we're talking about in the fourth quarter and the cash on hand, this is not even to count what the rnc raised as well so when those numbers come out for the fourth quarter you'll see a truly jaw- dropping number. it's pretty big. definitely into nine figures. >> wow. >> that's without question, so what the rnc, the luxury that we have in being able to work is the trump victory program which we use jointly with them funds are entire massive ground game. >> nine figures he says for the rnc, president trump 46 million, we haven't even heard from joe biden the money train continues. charles: the money train continues but joe biden is absolutely remarkable. you know, my team and i we talk

about this all the time. since the heart attack where he's being written off, bernie sanders has come back so much stronger and his message is crisper, it seems like his spirit is reinvigorated his numbers are reinvigorated and it's really remarkable. >> we await joe biden, elizabeth warren to come forward with their numbers but you see what democrats are producing and the president is producing and there's 10 months to go until november. charles: we'll break all the money records for sure this election. >> good to see you too happy new year. see you on making money. meantime stocks starting the year at a record pace a new year s resolution is lifting some stocks but will it stick? christina partsinevelos is at the new york stock exchange. kristina: even the traders around me got one guy on the right hand side another one is trying to go to the gym more and another one is no alcohol or car bs. i'll try to go with no booze for the week but how about those

health stocks more like planet fitness, often the case when you enter the new year, it's a new you dedicating yourself to fitness, nautilus is a big sports equipment company with gyms across canada and the united states. you can see those three trending a little bit higher but some of the other regular ones that follow within the health craze in 2020 or the new years resolutions aren't doing as well you've got weight watchers here down almost 9% the reason being a lot of it has to do with competition. you've got apps out there and newt are system just announced they are creating their own customizable weight loss program a direct competitor to weight watchers and you've got fit bit that's always waffling up and down and volatility continued talks about acquisitions and stuff and nothing immediately in the pipeline. however, for all of those that are watching right now you may have made your new years resolution, according to analysts that work at four square there is an actual day of the year calls to fall off the

wagon day which means you make these resolutions and really start going to the gym and so they are expecting that day this year to be february 9 the second saturday of the month only 40 days after the new year, so i hope that our viewers watching will stick through it a little bit longer. blake i hope the same for you. i don't know if you've made any, no booze, no carbs? keto diet? >> no, i've got young kids so i'm not sure about the no booze thing. my wife and i talked about watching a movie once a month, a classic movie just sitting down watching a movie. kristina: that's a nice thing, i guess, you are a family man so i won't tease you and make fun of you for that goal so that's good >> hang that over me for the rest of the year. i will last past february with that one. >> okay, good. >> see you later have a good one happy new year. kristina: you too. >> dominoes taking on mayor bill deblasio, after he called on residents to support local

pizzas after dominoes charged $30 for pizzas on new years eve. the company is saying the mayor 's comments suggest new yorkers who own or work at a dominoes franchise are "lesser than those who don't." back with the panel now, chris, beverly and mark. the story here is there was a tweet that said in times square, they are selling $30 pizzas, bill deblasio went on twitter and said classy to dominoes and then kind of railed against the $30 pizza. i know you've got some thoughts on this as you once worked for dominoes. >> i worked every job there was , a delivery guy answering the phones, man alling, making the pizzas, i was there for six years an they gave me money to go to college with books after. they are all owned by small business owners, our owner scott gasper came up through the ranks of dominoes to corporate until he could buy his own place. this isn't like a starbucks where everything is controlled by a corporate entity in seattle this is something that enriches

local people and makes the economies, local economies much better. >> nokia tariff take bill deblasio's side but do you think he didn't know that like he thought it was a big corporation trying to take care of, trying to make a buck or two they shouldn't offer? >> i'm sure but even if he didn't know that, $30 for a pizza? dominoes they always stress like the low valor valued pizzas or low prices. these guys are standing there in the freezing cold walking back and forth like same thing when you go to the baseball park or football stadium things cost more and they are handing them out and everyone is buying them. i understand that but for him to rage against high prices in new york city because of a $30 pizza , given to you, he's getting killed on this one. >> i think it's also the issue of peak pricing, restaurants are going to do this, uber and lyft do it peak pricing is here to stay. it makes good headlines but it's a new trend. >> as someone who lived in miami for a while, new years eve in miami is expensive. you see this sometimes unfortunately in states along the coast when hurricanes hit

that's price gouging. i think as you're saying there's a difference between peak pricing and price gouging when there's something unfortunate like tax >> right. >> speaking of ringing in the new year, without a ring, the american academy of matt are moan it attorney, they say january is the most popular month for people to get divorced what do you think of this? >> i haven't heard this before. >> it's a new story for me but the only thing i can think of is a couple of things first of all because of the stress of the holidays and after the stress of the holidays couples realize we just aren't working out so we need to plan for something new. >> new year, new me. >> the other part could be though that they want to stay together for the kids through the holidays and january is when they are really going to do that separation, move forward with the divorce but all in all i hate this story. >> it's not a good story but look, it might be part of that. let's stay together for the kids i think there's tax implications too like get past the new year and maybe start the slate clean on that front? >> well there could be.

i actually wrote an article on this in forbes about the january divorce rate. >> right. >> a lot of the post-holiday letdown, and from our perspective as financial planner s, we talked about how to avoid the financial issues that lead to divorce in the first place prying to take a positive spin on a negative outcome and it comes down to communication, planning together, involving both partners. >> is it like the year-ends, how did we do, like when you said what is it about -- >> underlying discipline as we just heard and then it manifests itself after the holidays in time for a new year fresh start. >> there's also something you learn a lot about your spouse during the holidays because your family is so important to you even if your mom or dad or someone else could annoy your spouse they are so important to you and how people act around each other's families and the things that are very important to their spouse, says a lot about how they care about their relationship and husband's and wives are watching each other and saying do you love the

things i love. >> i wonder if there's new year s resolutions of let's stay together through the year and like christina says come the end of january, just couldn't do it. >> that lasts until february 9. >> i don't know. >> well we hope everyone stays together. speaking of staying together thank you for joining us for this hour. appreciate it, mark, beverly, chris, happy new year to all three of you. a state of emergency is declared in parts of australia ravaged by deadly wildfires. it's quite the scene there, an update coming up. the epson ecotank. no more buying cartridges. look at all this ink it comes with. big ink tanks. lots of ink. no more cartridges. incredible amount of ink. the epson ecotank. just fill and chill.
