friday, december 13th. 12 days to christmas and 12 somedays to hanukkah. markets turned south and red ink across the board, not that much, dow off 11, s&p down 10 and nasdaq down 67 points. big tech, they were all up and now mostly down. they're all down. and all in the red. 10-year treasury yield going up to 4.37%. that's the markets and now this, the president elect plans a dramatic start to his administration. the action begins at 12 noon on january 20th. that's the moment the second trump presidency hits the ground running.

incoming president president doesn't want that and it's tied up for the loose end. he's met with the formally antagonist ick mark zuckerberg and accepted a million from him for all the inauguration. dinner at marla go and deportation ovmigrant criminals is not exactly a loose end and it's an issue on day one. trump is moving to nip the opposition in the bud. the mayor of new york after meeting border czar tom homan said the city will not be a safe haven for criminals by january the to the, other cities and states may have fallen in line and and there'll be hell to pay if the hostages are not out by

to be dealt with and here in america, the you hatred on display and more than a year after the october 7 and going to be shocking and seen through the universities and then in general in society, seems once again it's a political mule move. that's no way to run the country and insult to everyone involved and help americans who are of arab dissent and jews and everyone else by helping americans by making america great. that lifts everyone up and it's the end of identity politics and you can see how awful it ends up being. stuart: it was yesterday.

>> this is what's bizarre, overwhelming public vomiting of jew hatred by a very small, you know, special interest groups, that has to be addressed and it never has been and he says instead, which on the flip side implies that other hatred doesn't need to be dealt with and we're not going to touch that. that's awful. stuart: always good to see you, tammy. very special. >> january 20th can't come soon enough. stuart: thank you, tammy. back to the markets. >> president trump has his extra

two months and getting his things in order and already getting what he wants to get done done. that's a big push for the markets. and economy and interest rates that he wants rates to be lower and fed's already were bier looking at about 90% and interest rates lower in the coming year and another tail winter storm for the market and the economy is sensorineural vent and strong and inflation starting to somehow down a bit and the economy is holding up. and then less regulation and add all that together and going higher. stuart: going higher. 12, 13 years since we had a market that just went like this. we've had a bull market for seems like s15 years to me. >> yes, there's been blips along the way, stuart and sometimes we've had a couple of down years

in there and couple of flat years in there but really when you look back, if you expand for time horizon past years and out to 50 years or 100 years and market ends it to go higher. >> we remember that. stuart: yeah, you didn't make much money in the stock market and worries people like me getting another decade and trying retire my money. >> you are but in the 70s you didn't lose money. i don't know where you'd have put your money anded better. and that one specific time, you wouldn't have gotten the returns as other times. the biggest mistake is we're going to move to this and i'm

pilot with a small drone and crashes into your window but in terms of large drones flying over, unfortunately they're just not this. reporter: but, new york senator said we need to investigate all possibilities including that a foreign adversary is launching drones from the ocean. >> wouldn't be hard for adversary to have a ship in the area, festivus they just pay a shipping company to carry their cargo. it's very complex. >> you don't want to shoot a drone done over a city. that would be dangerous with collateral danger on the ground. reporter: there are safe ways to capture these drones. stuart: benjamin netanyahu want as gaza and ceasefire deal.

mr. ambassador, is this statement a gift to trump from netanyahu? >> i think what it is is a recognition that iran is now looking over biden's shoulder at trump coming into office. and telling their proxies to ratchet down and net ragaini hue sees that as a opportunity -- netanyahu sees that as a opportunity to pressure hamas more a deal now. stuart: from your perspective, will a deal happen before inauguration? is the pressure sufficient? >> yeah, i don't think so. i think hamas, it's influenced by iran and it's paid formy by iran and is not controlled by iran. i think they're still going to hold out. also what they've done including if you remember last week rendition of anthony leasing this video of american hostage and they're trying to continue

to leverage these hostages as a way to avoid that kind of heavy pressure. stuart: do you think the -- i'm political and diplomatic map of the middle east has been redrawn largely. can we use this situation for regime change in iran? can we go that far? >> i think the iranians can go that far. if the u.s. instigates that, it backfires on us but the pleasure is on for the maximum pressure policy and loss of influence in the middle east and reassignment of israel and saudi arabia and some sort of settlement in the conflicts we've seen so far and houthis and that may show a lot of weakness in iran that can cause the iranian people to think the time is right. stuart: the parliament wants america to send black hawk helicopters to ukraine and she wants to use them to take out

russia's drones and now we just received this and literally just getting it and president biden has announced a $500 million weapons package for ukraine that does not include the black hawk helicopters and doesn't that change the situation and these talks in russia and another $500 million worth of stuff? >> well, i think getting ukraine in a strong of position as possible is necessary to get putin to take seriously the idea of having some kind of peace. putin thinks he can win and destroy ukraine and massive barrage overnight on energy structures in kyiv and putting in a lot of the other parts of the country in the darkness. i think publicly tin thinks he can fight this out and it's very important ukraine get military equipment to hold them off and that it gives trump a opportunity actually to persuade putin it's not worth continuing to try and fight. stuart: think they should get

black hawk helicopters for weaponry? >> i simply don't know whether those are the capabilities that ukraine really needs. air defense is something they critically need and just again saw the missiles and drones launched at crew crane overnight and drones and missiles and need better air defense and steady stream of ammunition to go through that and trying to hold the front line. stuart: thank you for joining us. appreciate it. see you again soon. stuart: necessary. now this, premier at alberta, an data committee, announced a plan to secure the border with the united states and responding to the pressure. what's the plan, ashley? ashley: they're indeed premier for them on the strategy platform saying alberta will take immediate action to secure the northern border and combat criminal activity such as trafficking in ill illegal migration and plan includes 51

>> yeah, stuart, you and other taxpayers are take ago bath on this, and the irony is it's been sitting around for four years and four weeks before trump takes office and wants to use it. biden is selling it for pennys on the dollar. this has been a debacle from the beginning when president biden stopped construction of the border fence and abandoned millions of tons of steel. where is it now? huge sections we found yesterday being trucked off the border sold at scrap and tons of it at auction sight near tucson and three of them meaning biden team selling $350 million with lights, cameras, wires and pvs and expensive items and according to the auction side and bids around $5 each at 40,000 pounds of finished steel. >> i mean, honestly that's just

a slap in the face not just to the agents out there working but the american public as a whole. they could have left the panels alone. >> last year we know the biden administration told more than 700 of the 30-foot steel segments for $200 a piece and taxpayers took a loss of roughly $10,000 for each bollard. 250 was under construction when biden stopped the project refusing to fill in the gaps in the fence that border agents begged him to as migrants steam to do the this is a pile i found near yuma three years ago. >> message the white house, i will bid on all that wall and we'll buy it in texas and we'll give it to donald trump. >> sabotaging the incoming administration going to get it done. after our report last night,

arrested, he was therefored to another shelter and going for them and going for the records request and they can't honor my records request. the district da told me there's currently no charges so really shocking story. stuart: the governor of massachusetts says they're going to fight the deportations and not going to allow the police to be involved in the deportations, does that effectively mean that massachusetts is protecting criminals in these shelters? >> it can mean that, look, massachusetts, our law and courts ruled we cannot honor detainer request from isis and have somebody brought in from container from ice and hold onto that person they can't do so. they've become this huge debate and a big debate going into the trump administration and tom homan is saying we're going to

go after especially criminal migrants stuart: okay, senators warren and sanders and representative aoc made sames that seem to rationalize and even justify killing of united healthcare ceo brian thompson. watch this, please. >> this is not to say an act ovviolent is justified, but i think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and ex-perns denied claims as act of violence against that . >> violence is never the answer and going to get a trial that allegedly killed the ceo of united health and can only push people so far and then they start taking matter into their own hands. stuart: what? what? why can't they just come out and condemn a murder and leave it at

that? >> murder of fellow american, a father, a husband, it's unbelievable they would talk this way. politics should know better and they get threats all the time. think there'd be empathy of being a public facing person. if they want to talk about insurance, which clearly they're passionate about and why bring in somebody's life that was lost into this? talk about biden and trump administration trying to bring about more price transparency and the price of insurance in some cases is growing faster than inflation or a man that lost his life. doesn't make any sense. stuart: it does not. it's a disgrace. thank you very much indeed. stuart: the governor of virginia is going after sanctuary cities. ashley, what is he doing? ashley: the proposal is banning sanctuary cities and states and counties and independent cities not complying with ice and
