11:00 am
>> part of new york term relief
11:01 am
rally and lasting a few days and doesn't change the main trend and that's being one of the more brutal bear markets. >> money is made buying in down markets and it's hard to do. it stresses you out, stresses me out. >> got to watch the banking industry and bond markets and continues to expand and then those are the kind of things that can create a crash versus the gradual decline that the fed has done pretty good job of managing so far. >> american leadership focuses on things that don't work. they're more concerned about what the color of your skin is or what your sexual preference is or how you identify them and how competent you are and the rest of the world sees that and america is in decline and when you're in decline, your influence goes down.
11:02 am
ashley: nice shot of midtown square and traffic heading down on sixth avenue. the holiday scene and it's still the season and new years around the corner. it's 11:00 a.m. on the east coast on this thursday, two trading days left and hello, everyone, i'm ashley webster in for stuart varney. look at this, a little bit of a rebound after a measurable time for the markets selloff yesterday and a bit of rebound and dow up 300 points and s&p up 1.5% and nasdaq 2.5%. big tech names having a nice back today and meta up and microsoft al up and apple up more than 2%. with all of that you'd expects 10-year treasury yield to come down and yes, it is. it's down three basis points at
11:03 am
3.85%. >> i thoughts maybe i would find holiday cheer in the notes and we expect a bad 2023. no, you say more interest rate increases and the fed will unwind the big mortgage backed securities $2.7 trillion worth. you put all of thattology and there's a tough road to go in 2023. >> i think so. i think it's entirely radius to de-certain that way and i'm being cautiously pessimistic about the coming year and what unfolded in 2022, i expect more of the same in 2023. bear in mind the fed increase interest rates from basically 0 to 4.25% over the course of 20226789 that was a decent increase overall.
11:04 am
they're 75 basis points away from the peak and will start reducing rates again and it's mindlessly optimistic and they'll have to go beyond 5, 6, maybe 7% in terms of fed fund rate to get inflation under control. there's a long ways to go. ashley: the question being how bad of a recession is it, deep or shallow? what do you think? >> the housing market is going to carry on take ago hit and we haven't taken a hit and slowing down and number of transactions down and prices are going sideways at least in some markets and some markets have come down a bit and that'll take a hit and the recession is a real possibility. it's almost certainty at this stage that the fed will slow down the economy even further with these interest rate hikes. now ordinarily when you have
11:05 am
that kind of scenario, the central banks charge into the fray and lower interest rates and boost the markets and the bond markets and thingses will look pretty good. this time around they're not going to be able to do that and that makes this recession very, very different from prior ones where the central banks cut interest rates really aggressively going into this one. i fear in this particular recession, their hands are tied and not going to be able to do that or ride to the rescue of equities and bond markets. ashley: talking equities in your opinion, another safe havens out there or is cash king in this environment? >> cash is king or very short dated bonds or high quality dated bonds with not much of an interest rate exposure, which is basically cash. i mean, i wouldn't recommend keeping the money under the pillow at home and maybe that's not looking so bad at the moment. that's the best place to be. to sit on the sidelines and wait for signals from the central banks to jump back in and
11:06 am
that'll be are they cutting interest rates again and that's the time to put back into the market rather than putting it now. virtually all sectors and some sectors have done pretty decently over the course of the past year and relative to others and utilities have done fine and healthcare has been okay and things like that . they've taken a hit and they've done well. >> they're looking at where the money is and how the system woworks and technically ensuring that i have my assets and they're not being sort much absconded by a fraud sterling heights. in general in the past looking back and thinking what kind of frauds and ponzi schemes and have we seen in the past and it never really impacts the asset
11:07 am
class or influids looking back in the 1980s and basically michael mill kins instrumental in the creation of that turned out he was a crook. the fact that bernie madoff was a crook didn't destroy the asset management and falling out of favorite and in general things do survive that but there's a difference in the crypto world in the sense that governments don't like crypto. crypto currencies in particular, bitcoin have been created as an alternative to government-feared currency and no one likes monopoly and even challenged and i think regulation dropping in and regulated out of existence after batting outright. ashley: terrific stuff here. we cover add lot of ground. appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you. ashley: let's move on and today
11:08 am
so far, you have some movers for us and speaking with paramount. lauren: did you see top gun maverick? ashley: i haven't seen it yet. have you? lauren: ash, it's so good. stream it on paramount+. ashley: i'm going to do it. lauren: as many people have, broke the streaming record for that site. paramount up about 5% today and by the way traditional box office for maverick about $1.5 billion. did well. intel. italy's prime minister requesting a meeting with intel's executives and they want to invest billions of dollars into intel as italy aims to cooperate with them to put a chip plant in their country. that stock up 2%. you know what, i think the bears are just tired of selling because if you look at some of the year's biggest losers, generac, match group, and tesky laxer they're leading the group. tesla up 9%. ashley: yep, about time. finally something to smile
11:09 am
about. lauren, next one, are you feeling pressured to eat healthier in the new year? lauren: no. ashley: listen to this. >> would you like to sample arourvegan bacon? >> sure. >> sir, is there a problem? >> just making sure no one ever has to eat this. ashley: vegan bacon, throw it in the bin. lauren, tell me about the new push to get people to ditch red meat in the name, of course, or not of course, of climate change. what's going on? lauren: it's a push to make you feel guilty. so researchers said put the label like the calorie count labels and put the climate change label on a menu to see if that helps steer people away from ordering beef because it's bad from the planet. high climate impact on some food and low climate impact on green
11:10 am
in others. will that change customer behavior and force you or steer you to order chicken, fish, vegetables because it's better for the environment? i'm so indecisive on this and i remember when they started putting the calorie count on menus. i said, oh, that salad has that many calories, should i get a burger instead. i feel like i made worse decisions because i thought it was healthy and it's not. it has more calories and chose something worse. ashley: i ignore the calorie counts. whatever, i enjoy my food. thank you, lauren. november food prices showed 10.6% increase over last year and because of things like droughts, supply chain shortages, overall inflation next year, you can see the prices pop even more. it's getting expensive to go grocery shopping. good time to bring in stephanie
11:11 am
nash. she's a dairy farmer in tennessee and joins us now. stephanie, good morning to you. do you see food prices going down any time soon? >> no, we're not going to see any change and imported 57 more from brazil and mexico and telling the government or tollations and our leaders what are you doing? what are you doing with american grown, how are you supporting our family farmer ranchers and supporting americans at the grocery store? they're paying anywhere from 10 to 18% more for products and we need to fix that. we need to fix the way american runs and how we support our family farmers and ranchers.
11:12 am
>> we're not getting communication to the public and jbs, cargill, tyson and marginal record profits off family ranchers and texas beef selling record numbers because they have no water and you're seeing california dairy farms sell off because they can't afford feed. it's just crazy. i think the usda needs to do a better job of implementing programs to feed americans to support american grown, and just be stronger. you know, you look at the markets and look at imports and exports. we continue to support other countries and we're not even supporting the american people. ashley: you talk about shortages a real possibility next year. how bad could it be? >> you look at ukraine and russia and look at what's going on in the netherlands. i think there's going to be a lot of food shortages next year. you know, americans go to the grocery store with confidence.
11:13 am
they can get the food they need and i think we take for granted what farmers and ranchers do around the country and take for granted the products we produce and products we produce here in america, and we need to rely on that and protect our rural communities and futures that are stronger and food security. ashley: stephanie, we wish you the best of luck and difficult time, things are great and it's difficult to be a farmer and especially difficult right now. stephanie nash in tennessee, south of nashville i believe. beautiful part of the country. stephanie, thank you very much. ashley: a woman found guilty of handing out deadly fentanyl-laced pills is speaking out from behind bars and said she had no idea the pills were lethal and encouraging others to learn from her mistakes. we'll bring you her story coming

ashley: going anywhere in new york city and walking around on the streets and smell that unmistakable odor of marijuana and the skunk smell. now the first recreational cannabis dispensary in new york city is open. i mean, is it open now, lauren? lauren: in a few hours, at 4:20.
11:19 am
get it. lauren: housing works is a nonprofit and they're the first to be opening their doors this afternoon. one of 36 licensed dispensaries in new york. look, i mean. the prices for vape kit for instance and that'll sell for $95 a plant. the issue is in the time that the state was trying to come up with all of the rules, you had -- you elicit pot shops open up and nay need to find a way to make the others work and be profitable. ashley: a woman accused of handing out deadly fentanyl-laced pills at a party is speaking out from behind bars and she claimed she had no idea the drugs were that dangerous and william spoke to sanchez and joins me now. william, how long is her prison
11:20 am
sentence? >> she's serving 12 years and pled down from 20 years after smuggling the painkillers in from over the boarder and charged essentially with murder after three friends overdosed and one died and we found her outside of seat until a federal prison. >> i felt very horrible inside just to know that a friend of mine lost his wife over the pills. >> a pill jocelyn sanchez provided. at halloween, sanchez took one and gave three others to friends, all of whom overdosed and two teens sur survived and n chachavez did not. >> in my eyes, she was guilty all the way. >> sanchez smuggled a thousand percocets over the border in
11:21 am
nogales un-aware they contained fentanyl. >> you think if they say it's okay, it's more than likely okay. >> it wasn't. the next morning police found her three friends unconscious. >> that's when they found aaron dead so it just kind of went really bad -- well, not kind of it wasn't really bad. >> sanchez faced 20 years to life in prison but accepted a plea deal for 12. >> i don't think it's too fair for people to get a murder charge. people don't maliciously intend to make shnikeys overdose or hurt anyone, but it would definitely make people think twice if they were in the situation i am. >> she spoke to us hoping someone will think twice before using pills bought at a party. aaron left behind a baby girl and jocelyn a baby boy and both being raised by relatives.
11:22 am
ashley: terrible story all around. william, thank you very much. appreciate it. check the markets now. we have seen them rebound after yesterday's selloff. all the markets yesterday and major exchanges down more than 1% and today coming back and dow up 300 points for good 1% gain and nasdaq up 2.5% and some of the big tech names getting some ground back and s&p up 1.5%. all right, now this. kim kardashian is opening up about faith and family. we're going to tell you how she's fostering her children's relationships with god. republicans meanwhile are just days away from regaining control of the house. one group of lawmakers planning a big push to prevent financial institutes from politicizing investments in the new year. the report from capitol hill is next. ♪
11:23 am
11:24 am
11:25 am
11:26 am
11:27 am
ashley: taking a look at phoenix, arizona. it's 58 right now in phoenix. take a look at these markets for you. a lot of green on the screen and something we haven't seen a lot of recently and dow up 320 points and nasdaq up 2.5% and s&p up more than 1.5%. finally some buying today. now this, republicans are just a few days away from taking control of the house and looking to take on so called woke investing. hillary vaughn has been following the story and joins me now live from capitol hill. hillary, what exactly is their plan of action? >> good morning, ashley. they're promising to investigate once they get in control, republicans on the house judiciary committee promising to investigation esg and idea that investment groups takes investment, climate, and social impact into consideration before investing into an entity and lawmakers think before doing that could be a violation of antitrust laws and six
11:28 am
republicans write ago letter to climate investment groups questioning them over esg policies saying, no matter how firmly a company or its executives believe in the goals of esg, that belief does not excuse anticompetitive agreements or unlawful conduct to advance progressive policies and idea behind esg is that it protects investors from volatility and risks of investing and bloomburg reporting that in 2022, the ten biggest esg funds posted double digit losses in early december including b blackrock's fund and all performing and lagging behind the s&p 500. republicans say esg steered investment hurts oil and gas and makes energy prices higher for everyone else. >> yeah, that's a very significant issue as well the whole esg thing that restricts financing and dries up the cost of financing and combine with
11:29 am
the moratorium on producing energy on federal lands both on shore and off, the lack of permitting and administration is holding up permitting and litigation and all those things not only reduced the supply but they drive up the cost of energy >> congress tries to weigh action here and states are not waiting to act. seven states will pull their fund from blackrock out of concerns that they're putting esg over investors. ashley. ashley: next week, all airline passengers traveling in china to the united states must test negative no mar than two days before they flight and comes less than three years after then candidate joe biden suggested that donald trump's restrictions on travel from china was xenophobic. in a tweet biden then wrote "stop the xenophobic fear mono-gordon changing, be
11:30 am
honest -- fear mongering and be honest and do your job". mercedes schlapp joins me now and clearly biden being hypocritical with the new travel restrictions; right? >> yeah, wouldn't it be nice to take politics out of the covid discussions that we have seen? you know, it was one of those moments i remember when joe biden did attack president trump calling him xenophobic on taking these important restrictive actions against china as a moment in time where joe biden thought that he had the answers to how to manage the covid situation and obviously we know that president trump took the right actions during that time to ensure that they would limit the number of restrictions in place and trying to balance that out with what we needed to do to keep the economy going and obviously we knew the lockdowns
11:31 am
were not healthy or beneficial to the u.s. economy at that time. but again, it just shows that if we're able to take the politics out, now it's very acceptable to make the restrictions at this moment because as we know, the chinese what they do is they hide data. they manipulate the data and they're not transparent when it comes to the covid cases and what's happening in china. ashley: a lawyer for the aclu insist that republicans are overstating the border crisis. listen to this, mercedes. >> i think people are overstating what's happening at the border. if you close the border for so long, of course there's going to be a temporary influx of people but ultimately it'll even out and the federal government has more than enough resources to deal with this. ashley: may may do but they're not. this is a crisis of humanity.
11:32 am
how can you say it's being overstated? >> this lawyer is ignorant or overplaying the demo democrats d it's shameful and we've seen how the drug traffickers and how the human traffickers are the ones who are benefiting, they're profiting at the boarder and they're taking advantage and assaulting young women that are crossing the border and obviously bringing drugs into our communities killing thousands of americans. this has to stop. the mere fact that joe biden, kamala harris who was supposed to be our border czar and secretary alejandro mayorkas failed to contain the border crisis and what you continue to see are record numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the border is something that is a national security risk and something that needs to be stopped. it's been -- what is so frustrating to watch many of these liberals, many of these
11:33 am
democrats continue to support an influx of migrants through the border illegally. we should be supporting legal immigration into america, not allowing for this chaos that is overwhelming the border patrol agents at the border. ashley: 30 seconds, should we hold mayorkas actable? should that happen and someone has to hold them accountable for this? >> absolutely. you have to watch the majority of the house of representativess and that'll be one of the first priorities in congress and i think it's time that we find change in leadership but it's not going to be enough to change the homeland security secretary and it needs to become a priority for the biden administration and needs to bring in republicans who have been dealing with this issue, calling governor greg abbott who is at the boarder and these other border governors get them involved in the process to help stop this border crisis and put order at the border.
11:34 am
if they want to be humane and stop this humanitarian crisis, they really need to take action immediately. ashley: right. they do indeed. mercedes, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us today. good to have you on the show. >> thank you. ashley: now this, the vatican is reporting pope benedict the 16th is lucid and alert and health update is one day after pope francis revealed his predecessor was sick and in need of prayers. theologian john jonathan morris joining me now. you are a former catholic priest. do you have insight on this? >> i have tone on the vatican and used to be vatican would never talk about a sickness of a pope. we remember for example john paul ii when he was sick. he had par kinsons and there was -- parkinsons and never a mention of parkinsons or his illness and only till we could
11:35 am
see with our own eyes because he allowed us to see his sickness, john paul ii that we were able to see how grave this situation was. the terms in italian that was used by the vatican yesterday about pope benedict's health were very grave and so much so that it was very clear that not only is he very sick in the words of pope francis, but they've decided not to bring him to the hospital. all of us who have had family members who are very sick like that and we choose not to bring them to the hospital know what that means. we'll see over the coming hours and dais what that means for the longevity of pope benedict 16th but this will be a historic moment. ashley: i want to move onto another issue here, jonathan. in a new podcast, kim kardashian is opening up about her relationship with god. listen to this and i'll get your comment.
11:36 am
>> do you eat, pray, love? >> i do. i pray every night with my kid, even if i'm out of town they'll call me and we'll say our prayers together over face time. they just like that. they can't go to bed without that. ashley: couple of things occur to me here, jonathan. one, she's one of the biggest influencers on social media there is. and we've talked about the people with faith. people not going to church and it's starting to fade a little bit. something like this i would imagine in your opinion is very positive. someone with so much influence talking about how important it is for her to pray with her kids every day. >> yes, and i never thought i'd do the transition of pope benedict 16th to kim kardashian but can i tell you, pope benedict 16th would approve. he talk add lot about building those family traditions, that faith is passed on.
11:37 am
not by some miraculous event but rather by parents educating their children in the faith. giving them an insight into truth that otherwise without faith we cannot obtain and not one promoting kim kardashian's every decision as a model for all of us, but the fact that she says i pray with my children every day, they cannot go to sleep without it i think is a wake up call to all of us. am db of interauralling -- that am i doing that with my children and what's the faith level of our adult children like? listen, my kudos to kim kardashian. ashley: yeah. yeah. it's interesting and it's a very difficult transition and does play into each other and one last thing, jonathan, i saw you sit down on the monitor here and you had your glasses with you. you reminded me of someone, the
11:38 am
big -- yeah, come on. i was trying to think who does this remind -- put them on. there you go. oh my goodness. who is it? ashley: remind me of harry carey a little bit. >> i don't know who that is. no idea who that is. lauren: we play a game when jonathan is on and i try on his fun glasses and then i get made fun of. >> i was told their very masculine. lauren: i like them. >> and i can see. ashley: i do. they make a statement and i'm not sure what the statement is but we'll leave it at that. lauren: the 1970s style glasses with the thanksgiving day suit. ashley: i wonder if jonathan morris, thank you so much. >> i wonder if kim kardashian would approve. lauren: she would.
11:39 am
ashley: she's a stylist. we'll have to leave it there. thank you, jonathan and your glasses. now this -- happy new year to you. shocking new irs data shows just how many millionaires left new york during the pandemic and, hint, it's in the thousands. more than 2300 southwest flights have already been canceled today. the department of transportation is vowing to hold the airline accountable. customers remain stranded from coast-to-coast. we'll have the report from southwest chicago hub next. ♪
11:40 am
11:41 am
11:42 am
11:43 am
11:44 am
ashley: you're taking a look at new york city, 45 degrees, a whole lot better than it was just a week ago when it was absolutely freezing and, of course, we're days away from the big new year's celebration in time square. crews just installed 200 new crystal triangles to the famous time square ball and today, interestingly officials tested the new year's confetti making sure it's "air worthy". 3,000 pounds of confetti will fill time square at midnight on new year's eve. how about that for a job description. confetti tester, that would be fun. it'll cost you more to ring in the new year with wine and champagne this year. the median price of champagne costs $5 more than last year and about $55.58 a bottle. the reason why is the supply
11:45 am
chain container ships that were stuck off the coast of california contained wine bottles so wine makers and champagne producers couldn't bottle on time and then items like labels, which were sourced from ukraine were affected by war so prices are set to climb even more. enthusiasts say you should stock up now. like i needed an excuse. back to that holiday flight mare at southwest airlines. the airline already canceled 58% of their flights today. fox news correspondent mike tobin at southwest airlines hub in chicago. they're canceling flights for tomorrow already? reporter: they are but the numbers don't look as bad at the second. the big ugly visuals are gone and the pile of b bags that was down here at midway airport has frankly been moved out of the
11:46 am
way of the cameras and doesn't mean the bags have been reunited with their owners or even moved to the proper destination and we learned from one southwest customer that the bags were being stored in a proper airplane hanger. so they've just been moved out of sight because frankly there's more reporters standing around here than you do have people, customers travelers at the moment. talking about flight cancellations from southwest. first looking at domestic flights across the nation. 2,471. of those 2,471, 2,361 of those are southwest airline flights. so you still have a dramatic skew in terms of other airlines being able to bounce back and southwest airlines stuck in the hole. if you advance to tomorrow, you've got 39 flights that are projected to be canceled but it's not really clear if that is an extension of the fact they've canceled two-thirds of the flights already going into tomorrow and have additional 39. regardless, southwest management
11:47 am
is apologizing once again. >> my personal apology is the first step of making things right after many plans changed and experiences fell short of your expectations of us. we're connelling the work to make -- continuing the work to make it up to you and you'll hear about it soon but for now we're focused on restoring the reliability and customer experience we expect of ourselves and you expect from us. reporter: you've still got people stranded across the nation and staying in cheap hotels and trying to rent cars s and price gauging in the car rental industry and people are worn out by the meltdown from winter storm 2022. >> i didn't grab my medicine and put it there and my medicine and charger and my everything that i have, my perfume. all my personal stuff was in the suitcase and presents for christmas. >> my concern is really one of my bags is all christmas gifts. i just really want that bag.
11:48 am
reporter: you've got spokes people from southwest airlines who are unable to give a total figure as far as how many bags were lost and how many bags have been found, how many have been reunited with their proper owners. all they can do right now is say they've got new resources and those new resources are certainly links on their website that people can use to punch in their baggage claim number and see if they can find their bag, find out what city it's in and see if they can get some restitution as far as their ticket prices and hotels, meals, things of that nature. ashley. ashley: so glad i didn't have to fly this holiday season. mike tobin in chicago at midway. thank you, mike. appreciate it. let's take a look now at the dow 30 and some of those stocks get a sense of the markets and it's been a nice rebound from yesterday's selloff and one stock on the dow is down. that is caterpillar and that is almost flat and wall disney and
11:49 am
apple leading the dow up 388 points. more than 1%. of course it lost about 1% in yesterday's session. we gain that had back. now this, a major city is considering bringing back mask mandates for students returning to school in the new year. some parents say it's unfair and unnecessary. karol markowicz is a mom and she takes that on next. ♪

ashley: the great n'sync with bye bye bye and new york city on a mostly sunny morning heading towards the end of the year and by the way, woe are playing that song for a reason. it's because 2,000 millionaires, count them, have left new york city. bye bye bye, since the start of the pandemic. that is according to new data
11:54 am
from the irs. tax refugees heading out to florida, texas, tennessee, somewhere where they're not paying so many -- so much in taxes. 2,393, remarkable. now this, the boston public school district is considering a plan that would force students to wear a mask when they come back from winter break. now parents are split over the proposal. i tell you what, let's bring in karol markowicz, karol, this isn't the first time we've heard about schools bringing mask mandates back. you're a mom, what do you think about it? >> well, i think the mask mandates were a terrible idea from day one. they should have never existed anywhere at all but specifically for children who were the lowest risk for covid and we've known that since, you know, april 2020. i think that the proceeding headline about the millionaires leaving new york city is very much related to the kind of thing that you just mentioned about the masks. i think that people who have the
11:55 am
means to get out of crazy places who keep doing crazy things in response to the covid virus left and they went to senior places like florida, tennessee and other place where is they didn't have to worry about their kids being masked in school when grandma gets to go to the bingo hall and go to dinner and do whatever she wants even though she's not the high risk one. ashley: yeah, very good point. you're one of those by the way. we know that. you escaped the madness and i want to get to this issue. a school district in missouri considering a four day week. now, hundreds of schools across the country already operating on shortened weeks. you know as a parent, are you in favor or opposed to these four day school weeks? what do you think? >> well, i guess i want to know, ashley, are we going to go to a four day workweek because that's the only way this could possibly work. i think we've gotten to the point where we've forgotten that school is partially day care. it is partially child care and it's somewhere that we send our kids to be safe and to learn.
11:56 am
it goes hand-in-hand so unless parents are moving to a four day workweek, i don't understand how a four day school week can be discussed. ashley: it cannot. you're absolutely right. we're going to have to leave it there, karol. you're continuing to enjoy life in florida. good for you. we appreciate your time today. thank you. >> thank you so much. ashley: thank you. guess what. it's time for the thursday trivia question, which is a good one. which year was january 1 officially the start of the new year? there are your options, 183bc, 112bc, 45bc, 32ad. i have absolutely no idea. think about it, i'll have the answer right after this. ♪

ashley: all right. earlier we asked you which year was january the 1st officially the start of the new year? there were your choices. i had no idea. i went for number two. guess what? the answer, number three, 45 bc. it was put into place by the way by roman dictator, julius caesar. and no, stu varney was not there to cover that event. there you are. as we leave you the markets moving higher. dow up 400 points. i've done my best. edward lawrence in for neil cavuto. edward: we'll see if we keep it going here.
