stuart: before the break we asked where the coldest place on earth outside antarctica, is it so. russia, north ice, greenland, we are reeling from your handshake with fidel castro so you've got to go first. lauren: gets on the wrong way. i will go with snag a, canada. stuart: because you've never heard of it before. i would say the peak of denali interact arctica, and alaska, the answer is i got it right. way to go. in alaska the lowest temperature ever recorded in denali was less than negative 75 degrees in 2,003 just after you shook hands with fidel castro. we are almost out of time. coast-to-coast starts now. adam:'s stop because the

economy won't start. stocks are primed to claw their way back today, doesn't look like it will be enough to make up for what is still looking like a down week, the first down week after nine straight advancing months in a row and that in spite of or because of stronger-than-expected jobs report that saw the economy adding 260,000 workers and sending the unemployment rate to near an all-time low. so what gives? president biden is not the only guy asking that question. he's desperate for americans to see the good news but they are not feeling it. gary, what are you doing here? what do you think of this? >> i've been saying for months when it comes to the market you simply watch yields, yields until the end of october sword, market got trashed where the russell 2000 was at bear market lows. in the last two months you had yields that crashed from 5 to

3. 8 and guess what happened the last few days, yields backed up, market turns back. for every viewer out there if the 10 year yield stays down good. if it starts heading back to 5% not so good. market is as focused as i have ever seen on the 10 year yield in history and that is the way i'm playing it. stuart: we had you on the 10 year at 4.60% when last i checked but you are quite right. look at rates, then look at stocks and when you do, if that yield is over four stocks go down. i wonder if we keep this link in place for good while. >> correlations last as long as they decide do. this is been going on for a while. even today, yields sort initially and market futures were down and yields came down and the market went up and now yields backup and the dow is

back to flat line so even on a daily basis we are seeing it so the real job for now at least for me is finding those grade earnings at revenue growth companies that will fight it off meaning if something grows 50% to one hundred% regardless of yields it is still getting going. it is usually in technology, growth stocks. i have my eyes, on nvidia breaking out of a 6 month trading range, but again, if yields go back to 5% the market will take half of that. stuart: let me ask about advising investors. many of them got burned in 2,022, nervous about jumping in 2,020 and then things picked up steam in the second half of the year, now they are saying i missed out on that party, don't want to miss out on another one.

suggests a presidential election year is almost always good for the markets. i don't know if it factors in if the year before was a good one but what do you think? >> i tell individuals use your sleep indicator. if you can't sleep at night you own too many stocks. all i can tell you is no worked on market uptrend looks like, know what a market, where leadership is going, right now the big banks are at new yearly highs. technology stocks off the highs a little bit, 4% off of the gargantuan move, that's basically nothing. as long as the uptrend stays, there's opportunities galore in different areas and that is a complete opposite of what we saw from july to the end of october when 80% of the market was in a major downtrend and hopefully this lasts a while. stuart: do you think the

markets are factoring in the november elections. i don't know what the timeframe generally is on that. when that comes into the mix, but what is it? >> as always as we get closer it will and it will be about higher taxes versus lower taxes, debt and deficits versus less and if you know what i think of debt and deficits, $2 trillion deficit this year to me as a financial soon that eventually there is going to be a comeuppance where the bond market vigilante say we had enough and if interest rates start to spike, look out below so fingers crossed, the market never wakes up to what we are seeing on 34 trillion, 2 trillion deficits per year which will get higher every year going forward. julie: even known each other in so many decades, the debt was 6 trillion when we started talking. it's a sign how old you are getting, great memories.

thank you, happy new year to you. talk about uncanny reads, ken fisher, successful billionaire investor. one of the best investors i had the pleasure of chatting with, will be speaking to us exclusively, what he makes of these markets. everyone thought he was crazy when after the bludgeoning we took in 2,022 said 2,023 is looking great, he still thinks 2024 is looking great. maybe not as great as this past year but pretty good. he will tell you the reasons for that on fox news. in the meantime, lucas tomlinson not far from valley forge, using that as a backdrop, i remember covering george washington there, one of my first stories, lucas kind enough to join us now. what's the meaning of this backdrop?

>> president biden is coming back to the critical battleground state of pennsylvania. estate he has visited more than any other statesman's becoming president, 15 miles from george washington's winter in canada at valley forge which you visited in 1777. the biden campaign taking a page from the midterm playbook when the president spoke in philadelphia at the marine corps centuries, the red color, yesterday at the white house, karine jean-pierre explained what president biden will be talking about. >> january 6th was an unprecedented attack on our core principles and our democracy. this is something the president takes very seriously. disrespectful soda constitution and attack on our democracy. let's not forget these are values we hold as a country, as a nation. >> reporter: with that in mind the biden campaign releasing its first campaign video of the

new year. >> there is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. >> many republicans say president biden has talked about january 6th and the war on democracy because he can't run on his record. i don't buy that they believe it. if they really believe the united states as we know it would cease to exist if donald trump was elected president, they wouldn't be sitting there with president biden at 30% approval ata 70% run, 75% of democrats don't want him to be the nominee. >> 4,000 of george washington's soldiers camped at valley forge, their goal was survival, not going on the offensive. genera pope -- general howell and the british forces were housed in philadelphia not far away.

general washington told his troops and he man caught stealing food would be met with a lash, a punishment so severe that when caught stealing food, so painful the men bit down on a lead bullet, hence the term bite the bullet. stuart: i did not know that. not bad, thank you very much. good seeing you again. lucas tomlinson on all of that. this is what the president is focused on today to bring people back to the january 6th insurrection. a lot of critics saying focus on the here and now whatever you think about what happened then we have real problems now. the democratic campaign strategist, former biden 2,020 official. i want to get to the perspective from democrats on this is that the president is looking back to january 6th. in the eyes of many regardless the politics, scared a lot of folks but that was then, now we

have these problems going on with the economy now, the administration saying things are getting better but that should be the focus, not what happened back then. what do you say? >> it is the focus that we are recognizing the third anniversary of that horrific scene play out and when the president launched his campaign on the focus of restoring the soul of america and is going to double down on that message heading into 2024. you wants that in the wake of charlottesville and the white supremacy and the then president's failure to condemn that outright. what we've seen in the past three years since january 6th from that moment in charlottesville is the doubling down, you saw the former president double down saying he would be a dictator on day one. these are very dangerous things the former president is trafficking on. nikki haley yesterday said i don't understand why he still ponies up to dictators and you will see the president have

that clear contrast with a history of january 6th and this campaign. >> people have strong views on this but people are worried about the price of bacon and eggs and they are worried about milk and a lot of basic staples that no matter how much inflation has come down they are still markedly higher than where they were, they see a president obsessed with talking about some things that rightly or wrongly americans are not focused on for the time being. they are more focused on bread-and-butter issues. >> good to see you all. nancy pelosi this week said the same thing, yes, it's important to talk about democracy but president biden has got to figure out a way to make it about kitchen table issues, bread-and-butter issues and there's a recognition at least from nancy pelosi that yes, americans are still hurting. it is interesting we see the job numbers today, the unemployment rate has stayed

stagnant at the same level, the amount of people who are unemployed now compared to a year ago is much higher, more women are working 2 and 3 jobs holding down multiple jobs are for the past year. a lot of spots i can see in the jobs report are signals that things are not good in the biden administration doesn't have good answers, a lot of the labor policies we've seen and are expecting to be handed down from the biden department of labor are going to impact the opportunity for women and people who are just looking to carve out their own niche of this economy and the independent contractor roll. i don't think president biden has any good answers for the american people and back to democracy is not going to win the votes he needs. stuart: don't know about the approach but i would question this is a pretty good jobs report, steadily very good jobs report, you can argue about the nuances you talked about but you are right, it's not resonating with americans but

it is pretty good report but having said that i am wondering about the growing concerns, you mentioned this is the third anniversary of january 6th, good time to look back at it. i wonder if the reason he's doing so is because he's down in the polls, often times by a lot as things stand now he might get swamped. there was no such focus on this a year ago when he was doing a lot better. >> in the lead up to 2020 he talked about democracy being on the ballot in that speech in independence hall and this president has focused like a laser this is one of the key reasons he came out of retirement to take on donald trump, you saw comments that he made off the cuff not long ago before the donors when he said i don't know if i would be running if donald trump -- neil: he keeps going back in the past, valley forge going back in the past, i was there, i get it but he seems to be

always in the past. doesn't it accentuate that this is a really old guy? >> you have the past in terms of the 2020 race and the contrast, elections are diametric. this speech is marking january 6th, he will travel to south carolina to talk about the rise of political violence in this country, next week in charleston but again, every other trip is focused on the economy talking about build back better, talking about chipset investors across the country, this we can focusing on that anniversary. stuart: got it. i'm cutting in here because i did want to pick your brain on this. the fact that it is possible, it is possible the teamsters president sean o'brien with whom i will be chatting might just endorse donald trump. doesn't seem likely he's met with the presidential candidates but we can read into that that the teamsters still haven't committed to president biden and we are fairly light

in the cycle to do so. what do you make of that? >> they have an open door and considering president biden billed himself as the most union friendly president in history, that said, the teamsters, only 1.3 million labor unions strong compared to the afl-cio which has endorsed president biden but that speaks to me that maybe their membership, they are open to donald trump and maybe donald trump has a end, potential in with the union vote. donald trump has always spoken to men and women who feel they have been left behind by domestic policies and economic policies so if the teamsters at the end of the day decide to give their vote to donald trump it would be a big shakeup and another example of the demographic the left is losing. we are seeing the softening of support among blacks and hispanics and even women so i

think there's concern on the democratic side. stuart: neil: he has revolutionary soldiers going for him. i am kidding. i'm kidding. thank you very much. kevin, great seeing you, happy new year to you both. i did mention sean o'brien, the teamsters president who will be my special guest on fox. we are taking a look, he's met with virtually all the presidential candidates. he has been with the president many times but not on this endorsement issue. we are following the significance of the fast and that that he is sampling the field. looking out of the trouble in the red sea, prices inching up again, the volatility remains at all the big shipping companies and tanker companies, oil concerns are avoiding it like the plague. not a one has come back after this.

neil: maersk and these other shippers, there are other oil concerns other than bp. not a one has come back even with promises of the international task force to protect them led by the united states rigid with lawrence on what that could mean in the

impact of all that. >> reporter: the largest shipping company in the world by fleet capacity will not go to the red sea. maersk looked at the houthi attacks that are continuing and will not take the risk. 25 times the houthis of try to attack commercial ships in the red sea since november 18th. i talked to the former commander of the uss cole, he knew operation prosperity guardian would not work because partner countries are only half in. >> deterrence has failed for the united states and every country involved in this coalition. many of them purposely chose not to put their ships or forces under any kind of us control and that means the coalition is failing from the beginning because they are serving their own national interests first instead of the broader goal of protecting all those ships going through, whether they are maersk, msc or others. >> reporter: experts told the europe will see the larger median impact from the price increases but as the us will

eventually see higher prices and indian exporters say they could see price increases of 15% to 20% globally. >> reporter: shipping companies are making difficult decisions about whether to transit the red sea and the impact it is beginning to have on global commerce, countries that are more and more becoming aware of this increasing threat to the free flow of commerce by the houthi use and increasingly being willing to express their discomfort with that. >> reporter: i've seen estimates that it could cost 2 million per trip to go around africa and avoid the red sea because of fuel and transit costs. >> this environment has made it difficult for those trying to ship oil or to buy oil so it has come to the benefit of us shale producers, they are filling in the gaping hole in the availability of oil. in and await is like our energy is coming back or in demand again.

the significance of that with senator bill cassidy of the senate finance committee, always good to have you. happy new year. in a weird way, the problems around the red sea and the concerns about violence have a lot of folks looking at us shale producers and getting oil from here. what do you think? >> it shows that energy is a geopolitical weapon. a geopolitical defense force, the united states needs to double down on producing domestic oil and gas for our own needs to keep prices low and for those of our allies. this administration has done everything they can to inhibit the risk with oil and gas, the administration continues to prevent adequately sales. if we do that we make ourselves more secure, prices for consumers and help our allies. stuart: neil: everyone says the president is bad for, gosh,

everything, oil production, the economy, you name it, he's the reason everything stinks but on this issue, he has quietly vowing dotage bowing to political pressure such as yours opened up more oil production, more shale production, reading the political tea leaves but is that to his credit, what do you think? >> most of the increased oil and gas production is coming on private land, not public land. if you look at the lease sales that recently occurred off the coast of louisiana, the only reason it happened is congress passed a bill saying you got to pass it, you got to do it and very restrictive. there's been some stuff that he has done. i give that he has opened up a field but that will come online in ten years. there's pipelines that have not been permitted, federal lands that inhibit the production, this is at best a mixed record

on increasing domestic production. neil: you been critical of donald trump so your choice is donald trump or president biden. which lever do you pull? >> we know who the nominees are going to be. they say a week is a lifetime in politics. to say we know the nominees are going to be between now and then, but a lifetime between now and november is a millennium. neil: indulge me on this. if he is the nominee, where do you go? >> i will vote for a republican but we will see. but i think the thrust of your question presupposes something i don't think we yet know to be the case. neil: always good seeing you, thank you for taking the time. when my staff told me jeff flock was going to be here in the flesh, my first reaction was, i'm thinking of wearing

neil: jeff flock is here in the flesh. we love jeff. he does great reports, great storyteller and he did something i thought was interesting and fun. he wanted to see what it would be like traveling 800 miles in an ev, you found out something that's very different from taking those same 800 miles in a gas powered vehicle.

jeff: some brain at fox said you are visiting your daughters in chicago for christmas, you should take an ev home instead of a plane. i said okay, we will do it. neil: is cheaper that way. jeff: so we did. road trips for evs are a different thing than going from home to work. i wanted to see what the whole range issue was and we found out some very interesting things as you may see in this version that is coming shortly to your screen. watch. chicago to new york in an ev. according to tesla it should take 16 hours compared to a gas car which would be 13.5. ashley: are you going to make it on time? jeff: fingers crossed. off we go. our first charging stop in

indiana. we traveled one hundred 12 miles, it was supposed to take us 219. backing up skills to access the rear port. a half-hour later we are back on the open road, charging stop number 2 in ohio. according to the car the battery should have taken us 205 miles but only gotten 127. we stopped for the night in elyria, ohio, not far from cleveland. when we parked the car we had 38 miles remaining. this morning, didn't do anything overnight, 15 miles remaining. the tesla software routed us to the nearest super supercharger in sheffield, ohio. we could have gone another 15 feet. stopping off in gerard, ohio, for our second charge of the day. at this point we traveled 87 miles since our last charge, 46

miles less than anticipated. with the battery charged we headed back to the highway, three more stops to juice up the car, each time only getting 58 to 69% of the mileage the car had estimated. after two days of 808 miles of roads with next to no traffic we reached new york city in 17 hours of driving plus charging. an hour longer than the car had estimated but 3.5 hours longer than a gas car would have taken. in fairness to tesla's they do say if it is cold you are going to get less. if it is hot you will get less because you are running the apps. i was surprised it was that much less but they do warn you. neil: telegraph where you can find charging stations. jeff: the reason we ran short that night is my producer who you know well wanted to get a

steak somewhere and we went off the trail and came back and by that point we were lower than we should have been and overnight lost some charge because they keep the battery warm at night so we were down to 2% by the end. neil: you and jan traveling together, plays, trains and automobiles. jeff: friends in low places and you can't put that in. he's actually a pretty good singer. don't know if you ever -- neil: i have not had the pleasure. what is interesting about this, this is the new way of, government is pushing it, people are pushing it, they are beautiful cars. they are beautiful, they are not cheap, they 're getting a little cheaper but what do you think about the net push and the reality? jeff: you got to know what you're getting into. when i got into the car and didn't know how to start it, that was stupid, i guess. they are twittering me going

they violated state law by not caring for these migrants and that is why we are suing. >> is a look at the lawsuit on your screen which was filed in a new york state ct. this week in new york city is suing 17 charter bus companies with $700 million for busing those migrants from texas. mayor adams is blaming them for the massive costs they dished out in new york to feed, house, and offer services to migrants over the past two years. cording to adams, 33,000 migrants and counting have been best in since april 2022. you see on the streets in new york, migrants all over the place, it is all part of operation lone star. the initiative by texas governor greg abbott and the texas department of public safety aimed at curbing illegal immigration as border states are inundated with daily

migrant crossings. governor abbott is releasing a statement saying every migrant bust in or flown into new york city did so voluntarily. this lawsuit comes a week after adams issue these they could order tomato curb their hours but since then buses were rerouted to new jersey and repair for 20 minutes. the new jersey transit officers are putting them on a train back to new york. new jersey's governor had this to say. >> we are monitoring this very closely. this is a national issue. we need congress to take action. period. >> reporter: the governor of new york says she backs this lawsuit so keep an eye out. neil: we have the mayor of trenton, new jersey in the target zone where a lot of migrants are coming, the city can't deal with this.

they have enough for school pressures. the mayor of trenton, new jersey, thank you for coming. i know you had an opportunity, meeting with governor phil murphy on this, the more alarming question is how you deal with wave after wave of migrants who are coming. >> we've had 659 migrants left off of buses in the middle of the night between 4 am and 7 am. most have gotten on trains bound for new york, some have family in the trenton area and elected to stay in the capital city. we don't have the resources to take care of sheltering needs, food needs, medical needs so agree with our governor that congress needs to get back to work, they can do it on a bipartisan basis.

this is a national crisis that needs to be addressed by congress. neil: he has not done that and frustrated with him as well. are you? >> we are frustrated we have lack of notice. if we are truly trying to do the right thing they might give us some notice, we could check on the immigrants ourselves. neil: texas gets no notice, they been dealing with this a thousand times, 10,000 times. >> greg just has to pick up the phone and give us a call. neil: what would you tell him if he did? i could use your help, taking in these migrants. >> i would say let's work together and call congress up and get them back to work. article 1 section 8 clause 4 says congress controls immigration.

they need to stop doing that and come back to washington and get to work. they did it in the 80s. president reagan signed bipartisan integration reform into law, they can do it again. neil: did want to get your thought on new jersey being a sanctuary state, places like new york city being sanctuary cities. do you regret that? do you regret new jersey having that? it isn't up to the delivering the goods on that. >> sanctuary state or city means different things. we encourage migrants who live in the capital city to cooperate with police. that's how i see sanctuary city forming. we don't have the resources to house them and you want to do the right thing and provide for

people so i think congress needs to give us the resources or resolve this issue. neil: thank you very much, good luck with all this. dealing with others in trenton, new jersey, we have a lot coming here. another strong jobs report but it isn't what it appears. people can go to the numbers and politicize this but the fact of the matter is americans in general are seeing their wages not keep up with the price of the things they are buying and that has caused more than little bit of a conundrum. that after this. ♪ salonpas, makers of powerful pain relief patches for 89 years... believes in continuous improvement...

increasing at the same rate as items most americans purchase are going up and that is a problem. according to ken coleman that could be the source of a lot of angst. you are looking at the big picture explaining things. that is a problem, isn't it? people are getting so into the stats they lose the story. what is the story for most consumers? >> the headline the biden administration and a lot of people in the upcoming political you are talking about 216,000 jobs that were added to the economy in december, that was about forecast. most economists saying 170. this is troubling. there's three warning signs in this do new data. the first is 52,000 of those jobs were government jobs. that's not a sign that the economy is growing and super healthy. those are government jobs, nothing to do with mainstreet and small businesses which drive the economy, second thing

that is troubling is we saw wage growth begin to slow down as you are mentioning overall, wage growth in the latest report is starting to slow. we have to keep our eye on that but the most troubling factor is the participation rate of workers between the prime work ages of 25 to 54, that was off a half of one% over monthly high. that's a lot of data so let me explain it simply. that is a sign of it is not terrifying but a sign that we need to keep a we need to keep our eye on because when we see participation rates start to drop we see potential recessionary environment. recession is not about the data. recession signs are about changes when we see changes which participation rate scares me a little bit, that means companies are pulling back a little bit and some people dropping out of the economy. we need to keep an eye on that. this was not a great jobs report and that's the point. don't get stuck in the headlines because politicians

are going to play at that up. where are we really is what you've touched on. inflation is still stubborn. everything is more expensive for people where it hits them in their monthly budget. that is why voters are confused about the headlines versus the line items in the budget. neil: i respectfully disagree. i think it was a pretty good jobs report all that notwithstanding, we try not to politicize a one way or the other but having said that, there is something to what you are saying that consumers feel the pinch. i notice the popular items people purchase, cereal, eggs and milk and that sort of thing are still running at a pace that exceeds whatever they are making. that gap is narrowing a little bit and hope it continues but it hasn't narrowed enough. a lot of people are still feeling the pinch and you see this trend toward in-store items, not the big names and that frustrates people. a busy season of buying, how do

you advise those folks? >> great question and it is frustrating and i don't want to minimize that. what you've got to do is you can't focus on things you can't control like the way companies are raising prices to deal with their rising costs. you can't control that. you can control your monthly spending so what you've got to do, your good friend, my leader, my mentor has done for 30 years, we help people take control of their own budget. that means we have to cut expenses where we can, focus on the things we have 2. groceries aren't optional, gas isn't optional. what we have to do is cut everything we can cut and when we can't cut anymore we have to focus on addition. the second job. maybe the third job. if you have to change jobs to get a bump in salary you have to focus on keeping more of what you make because you can't control how the cost of groceries and gas are going up

or down. neil: good advice. the dollar is on track for the best start to the year at least in nearly a decade. a lot of foreign capital being drawn to it. it works in a couple different ways. we have more after this. jorge has always put the ones he loves first. but when it comes to caring for his teeth he's let own maintenance take a back seat. well maybe it's time to shift gears on that. because aspen dental has the latest technology and equipment. with a staff that goes out of their way to provide exceptional care. plus free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance and 20% off treatment plans. making it easier to get started with quality care. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner. we're here with chris counahan
