really poorly. i mean, they are getting whupped. and the story is to throw bodies after bodies after bodies and a huge population in a giant run the, the tide turns. it's world war i, world war ii the, it's what they tried to do in afghanistan. so i just want to issue a word of caution. when we feel we're at the precipice of a win to understand the adversary and how history has played with the add very sir sea when -- adversary when it comes to war. another note of caution, stuart, is we lly, ukraine -- understands the end of the war, the limitations of the war. you want to send those tanks in, let's be clear, they stop add the ukrainian border. what, i mean, the most troublesome part of the united states of america is if ukraine becomes an existential let to russia and, by extension the, vladimir putin. and then we're talking about that button. if it's existential, then it's nuclear, do the we understand the war stops when you have played all the defense you can, not offense and attacking inside

of russia. that's a problem, i think, for the united states of america. stuart understood. let me pull back a little. instead of using the expression go for the win, supposing we send in the tanks, they push the russians back, and that crypts a situation where you could seniors peace aukes, where zelenskyy would accept that we've pushed them back, i don't know how far, doesn't matter. we've beaten their army, peace talks. >> yeah. stuart: isn't that a scenario which we might be working towards? >> so that's very rational, and that's -- and you're to be commended for the reason and logic behind that. let's get 'em to the point where you think it's a place where zelenskyy will accept peace talks, but that's the part of the human emotion and the chaos and the fog and the ambition of war that comes in. and that's the key, can nato, can joe biden convince zelenskyy of an acceptable set of terms for peace. and you have laid out, i think, a very rational win that you

think would result in zelenskyy going, okay, we're ready to stop the fight. i hope that you are correct, that that would represent the end of the war. stuart: okay. will cain, the voice of caution. now this one for you. i'm sure you've seen this, will, but i want to know what you think about it. climate czar john kerry mocked for his speech in davos. you've got to watch this. roll tape. >> i think that it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about, quote, saving the planet. if you said that to most people, most people think you're a crazy, tree-hugging, lefty the, liberal, you know, do-gooder, whatever, and there's no relationship. but really that's where we are. stuart: do you have any -- in a moment, i'm going to talk about the dallas cowboys' football team, but do you have any comment on john kerry? >> yes, of course i have a comment on john kerry. let me correct the record for you, mr. kerry, for one moment. i don't think the takeaway anymore is when you think of yourself as an extraterrestrial that you're a lefty,

tree-hugging do-gooder. i'm not under any pretense that you're actually attempting to do good or that you are really a lefty tree-hugger. i think you're an elitist who thinks of himself above the rest of human i the who can fly in g-5s while telling rest of us how many hamburgers we can eat. i think you and your friends in davos think you're extraterrestrials, and you'd like to be in charge of the rest of us. that's not how we see you. i don't care, actually, that you're a lefty. i care that you think you're an elite extraterrestrial. stuart: now you're talking, will cain. now let's get on to the cowboys. the cowboys play the 49ers on sunday. you missed aaron judge's 62nd home run because you were at the buffet. are you going to hold off? >> i'm a very, actually the, good multitasker. i played a game of 42 during the cowboys win over the buccaneers which is an excellent game i'd love to teach my american come

like, -32.9, i think the worst we've seen since maybe 2009, i believe? so, look, this recession, we're not in it yet, you know? maybe we'll enter it end of the first quarter, beginning of the second quarter. once we enter it, we're going to be in there until the fed actually breaks the labor market. so the fed if has to control inflation, the fed has to make sure they properly manage employment. i know the mandate's called full employment, but we are at overemployment right now. we're at a position where employees have a lot of leverage over employers, and capitalism is a beautiful thing. it works so well when the labor market is in equilibrium. but when it's off kilter, all of a sudden it starts to disincentivize businesses from taking risks and the economy slows down, and all those thing kind of snowball. stuart: your going to be with me for the hour, but do you with see a significant decline in stock prices from where they are

now? >> i don't know about significant. i would say -- i mean, is 10% significant? stuart: to me, yes. >> we could see another 10-15% pullback. i think we bottom out maybe beginning of the third quarter, and then i do think we have a mice run -- nice run into year end, and i think the s&p can finish maybe right around where it's at right now. stuart: okay. but in the immediate future maybe down 10%. >> correct. stuart: okay. right now we've got a selloff, the dow is down 2 the 60 points -- 260 points. nasdaq is down, but moderna is up 5%. on a day like this, 5%'s good. what's the story? lauren: the story is that they have an rsv vaccine and in the late stage trials 84% effective in older americans. and now hay intend to submit for full approval by june, is the expectation. covid vaccines, mrna technology, people skittish, that market has dried up. this is using that technology beyond covid. that's another moneymaker for

this morning. he follows the media, intensely so. all right, brett, has the media finally turned against the white house, in your judgment? >> well, the answer is we don't know yet. we've seen five stages. stage one, when the story first came out, they were dismissive. cbs's adrienne diaz said the self-reporting here is probably the single most important participant of the situation. it's completely different from mar a rah lag go. the second stage was they turned this and they complained about republicans. don lemon was doing nothing but attacking the republicans for in the. stage three, they started turning reluctantly against biden after the first -- after the second group of boxes were found. stage four, they became even more skeptical of biden after merrick garland got involved. stage five is the interesting, this is where there are right now. they've grown frustrated with the white house. they know the white house is

stonewalling. they know the white house is not fort coming. forthcoming. stage six is what's going to happen next. i'm going to predict here. if the republicans or if the government come up -- don't come up with something, this story is going to die. it's going to flatline. if the republicans come up with another step, another misdoing by this administration, the walls are going to cave in on it. the media, it's going to be armageddon time where the media are concern canned. they're just not going to put up with in the. stuart: okay. it'll be interesting to see how in this thing develops. you're right, it's not over yet. wept9 bozell, thank you, sir. dozens of news outlets, media companies and sports leagues set up content deals for 2023 with twitter. ashley, how do these contracts work exactly? >> reporter: well, the program pairs advertisers with the timely videos from premium publishers, and then those

publishers split a percentage of ad revenue they made from their videos with twitter. pretty simple but it's lucrative. over the past few years, media companies and sports leagues have brokered these multiyear deals with twitter, typically between 1 to 3 years. it's through a program called twitter am prify. everything -- amplify. everything from the nfl to award shows, prime time tv hits are featured. analysts say there's little financial downside to staying in the content deals for these publishers on the platform or, put it another way, it generates too much revenue to give up even if some advertisers have quit the platform over elon missing's management style -- musk's management style. but the program works for all involved, apparently, stu. stuart: thanks, ashley. twitter is starting an online auction to sell off their surplus of office items, that's their word. they're not going to come cheap, and elon's twitter the bird sign will cost you $17,000.

hey, mark they were, he's not going to raise that much. is he desperate for cash? >> it would seem, i think, on the surface like he's kind of in panic mold. it has me a little concerned that maybe he sells that beautiful blue bird logo and downgrades to a pigeon. that wouldn't be pretty. but, look, i think this is just elon being elon. we're talking about getting a couple million dollars from this, so i think he's just kind of doing this to be symbolic of him ridding the company of all that bad ju-ju. stuart: he might close down that office building. >> he might. but when you look at twitter overall, regardless of why he's doing this, this is a company that you need to right the ship, and you need to right it very, very quickly because they're oning -- burning cash, and they certainly have quite a bit of financial problems. i don't think this is going to help it, but with you do immediate to figure out -- stuart: also it's musk grabbing another headline. >> he's good at that. he's such a good gunslinger. you never know what he's going to do, and he's entertaining, to say the least.

that's why it's excellent in diabetics. unfortunately, because so many people are using it for weight loss, diabetics having problems getting the drug. and there's the one woman i know that was reported who did not have her diabetes medicine for over three weeks because she couldn't get it. the supplier simply didn't have it. so it's a serious -- stuart: what can you do about this? >> well, it's not without its side effects. some people get nausea, diarrhea and have vomiting. it's, it's good to know that that's very rare. but what you can do is tell people that, you know, this is -- people don't exercise, people avoid diets because diett exercise, they don't adhere to their diet, they're not going to lose weight. with this drug, the injection is sure to allow you to lose 15-20 pounds very quickly. so we can simply add vise physicians -- advise physicians not to prescribe this

willy-nilly and to make sure that they have had their patients try a successful diet or to try exercising which is a very simple remedy, and it does work if one adheres to their schedule. stuart: that's not going to -- >> it's not a once a week injection. stuart: that's not going to work, doctor. [laughter] if you offer a drug, one injection, and you lose 15-20 pounds, there's an awful lot of people who will take it regardless of stretching supplies for diabetics, that's the way it is. next case. high medical costs caused 40% of people to skip out on medical treatment in 2022. you know, i can understand that. if you don't have insurance and something's wrong with you, you go to the doctor, that's $2-300 out of your pocket, and a lot of people don't have it. are you seeing people cancel appointments because they can't afford to come to you? >> we do see people cancel appointments even if they have insurance. they cannot afford the co-pay which is anywhere from $20-40.

so they'll say i can't afford the co-pay. but, you know, we do have clinics in the major university hospitals. now, as a salaried physician, there's no problem because we get all comers. however, the university hospital and the hospital that employs the physician if still wants to get paid. so the patients tend to avoid even the clinics, which is a big issue. and this is unfortunate. stuart: but there would be, i'm not going to say an explosion of illness, but there's going to be an increase in illness because it wasn't taken care of last year. that's going to happen? >> prophylaxis for heart disease and stroke, handling high blood pressure, just the topic we were just speak of, diabetes in obese people, all of these things are very, very dangers, and they limit life span. you're hearing about more young people dropping dead suddenly in the gym of heart disease or

discharged to rejoin. but defense secretary lloyd austin says no further service members will be discharged for refusing the vaccine and also announced that any the troops under existing investigation or judicial process would be cleared. so there you go, they refused to follow orders. that's what we're hearing from the pentagon. stuart: okay, we understand. thanks, ashley. a man accused of trying to kidnap a barista through a drive-through window is under arrest. it happened in auburn, washington. you can see the guy grab the woman's arm using a kind of looped zip tie. she fought him off, the guy drove away. police say a tata too the helped them -- tattoo helped them identify the suspect and make the arrest. there you see it, they got him. do you remember this video? it is the video that tesla used to show its self-driving technology. this was back in 2016. a tesla engineer now claims it was all staged. we've got the story. nick el, crucial element needed to build cars, the u.s. has one functioning nickel mine,

2018. the 2016 video you're talking about in question was used to promote tesla's self-driving technology such as stopping at a prosecute -- red light, accelerating at a green light. now, technologies apparently the system did not have according to the testimony. the engineer says the video was staged and was not meant to accurately portray what was available for customers, but what was possible to build into the system. the testimony also claimed that drivers intervened to take control in test the runs and when trying to show the model x could actually park itself with no driver, a test car crashed into a fence in tesla's parking lot. so far there's been no response to all of in this from tesla. stu. stuart: okay. thank you very much, ashley. with the electric the car market growing, there is a greater need for nickel to make batteries last longer. got that. but right now there's only one nickel plant in this country, and it's going to close soon. connell mcshane is in minnesota. of they want to build a second nickel plant there. who is stopping them?

tampa rack, minnesota. population, 62. but it may play a big part in our future. stuart? stuart: i'll remember that. thanks, connell. all right, this is the time where we try to get a sense of the market. this is what the dow 30 stocks are doing. obviously, heavy selling. the dow's down 360. that's 1% or better, and there's only four winners out of all the thirty stocks in the dow industrial average. selling today. the biden justice department reported a decline to monitor the the president's attorneys as they search for classified materials in his homes. compare that to the massive fbi raid on mar-a-lago. seems like a double standard, doesn't it? shannon bream will address that next. ♪ ♪ if -- and i'll never, ever, ever be the same ♪

dismissed? and, second, was this prosecutor backed by george soros? if mike, what have you got? >> reporter: stuart, good morning. yes, she is backed b soros. some drug offenses, theft of personal property, even a hit and run accident are some of the offenses the loudoun county, virginia, prosecutor wants to hand off to law enforcement to handle. in other words, make the arrest and then take them to court. commonwealth's attorney in loudoun county wrote a memo obtained by fox 5 d.c., quote: as you may know, with the increase in the trials in circuit court and the introduction of body-worn camera and related recordings in each case, the oca office of the commonwealth's attorney is inundated and left with insufficient sufficient time to prosecute every infraction and low-level offense that is charged. virginia's attorney general told me prosecutors cannot which arely pick laws to enforce and laws to ignore, and he argues this could be devastating for the morale of law enforcement. >> it really puts them in a very, very difficult position

because you're going to have case after case where they will be in court with the defense attorney that has the freedom of movement to argue the law, and they're going to be there without any backup. and i think our prosecutor should be backing up our law enforcement, not abandoning them. >> reporter: the commonwealth attorney is upset her memo was leaked. >> it's unfortunate that this letter dated december 30th was prematurely released. that's why we have the shock factor as to why people are are saying, oh, my you know, i didn't know. it it wasn't your time to know. we invited the court judges to have a conversation. >> reporter: the county board of supervisors and the sheriff only found out through news coverage. the chair of the board of supervisors is blaming the prosecutor's inability to manage her office and keep her staff. stuart? stuart: you didn't know? it wasn't your time to know, because it wasn't your time to know? if that's a great quote. wonderful stuff. mike emmanuel, you're all right. see you again. look who's here now, shannon

bream. okay. i don't quite get this. in this particular county, there's a misdemeanor offense. the police take them to court, but the prosecutor doesn't prosecute. does that mean they walk free? >> that is the frustration. yeah, a lot of law enforcement officers have on the front lines, they're the ones who make these arrests, they put together the paperwork, they make the case. but ultimately, if the prosecutor decides they're not going to move forward with the case, in most cases, that is the end of it. and so very frustrating for men and women many uniform who are out there. they know it's going to take time and effort for them to get these things together to make the arrest and do the paperwork, and if they know a prosecutor's going to back them up, you have to question what it does to their willingness to go after people for things like misdemeanors that most people would agree are not a high priority, but if we want law and order in our society, we want things on the books enforced. and if officers don't think that's going to happen, why should we ask so much of them out there on the street? stuart: here's one more to

explain to me if you can, shannon bream. how is it okay for the fbi to raid trump's place in mar rah mar-a-lago -- mar-a-lago, search his apartment, search his house, but when biden comes up with documents, it's his personal lawyers who go find the documents and go through his house? >> yeah -- stuart: a complete double standard. >> and a lot of people will view it that way. that's the problem with the doj, they know the world is watching. a lot of eyeballs in this country, half this country is watching because we have in the area situation where a former president has got documents that there were questions about at the same time we have a current president dealing with this. "the wall street journal" reporting that there were conversations between the fbi, doj and with the president, current president's legal team, about whether fbi agents should come and make searches after they found that first batch of documents. and it was agreed between the parties, at least according to "the wall street journal," that these personal attorneys were going to continue the search. it wasn't going to be agents showing up with a raid. now the biden team, the white house will say, he's been

cooperating from day one. there were negotiations with the trump team and the doj, they got to an impasse, and that's what led to the raid. they like to call it a search. but, listen, people have this corps -- corps door worry when they say things like, oh, they were asking the attorneys and no fbi needs to show up. that at least gives the impression that all americans are not being treated the same way by the justice department, and that's the last thing we want for our institutions and agencies. we want americans to believe in them, have confidence. stuart the fbi went into trump's wife's wardrobe, checked her clothing, for heavens sake. whereas personal lawyers of bind, we don't know what they looked apt. did they search the first lady'. it's just such a glaring double standard. and i get the impression that the media has now turned on biden. what do you say to that? >> it is interesting because here in washington he has complained, the white house complained they feel like the media has not been fair to hem for the last two years.

well, now they're getting this taste of the badgering at the white house where the press secretary has incoming not just from peter doocy and ed lawrence and others, but from all of these networks who are now saying, okay, we've got something here where you've got the former president, you made comments how could you be so irresponsible, and now you're in the same hot seat, so we want to know the same answers from you. stuart: oh, what a tangled web we weave. shannon bream, great stuff. we will be watching you on "fox news sunday" every sunday, 2 the p.m. eastern. shannon, thanks for being on the show today. much obliged. look, it's almost # 1:55, so i'm going to jump on the wednesday trivia question just a tad early. i know the answer to one, guaranteed. when was the last russian czar, nicholas ii, forced to abdicate? 1901, 191099 -- 1909, 1913 or 1925? tepper's playing along with, he's writing it down. >> let's be clear about that, i

don't cheat. stuart: and i absolutely guarantee that i know the right answer. i guarantee this. i read a book about it. we'll be back. ♪ . .

stuart: when was the has russian czar nicholas the ii forced to abdicate the thrown? ashley, you're first. >> russian revolution, 1917, go number three. stuart: tepper second. >> that sounds like a good one, i will go 189089.

stuart: ash, you're right, i'm right. 1917. been reading a book about it. >> you're spot on. stuart: did he make a mess of being a czar? nicholas ii was the worst. let's look at the markets, we're down pretty much across the board. down 300 on the dow at this point. tepper, you still think we will go lower still? >> i do. something doesn't smell right when you had the win streak kick off the year, ark innovation up, meme stocks up 50, 60%. when last year's losers are leading the way makes me a bit skeptical. stuart: everybody one on the show pointed to a downturn. we didn't v a bull on the air. >> that is food point. got to be contrary can. >> my time is absolutely up. it is time for neil. three seconds are up. neil, it is yours. neil: thank yo
