♪ ♪ stuart: i have proof, i love this music and it works for me. it's real christmas music. it's not the little drummer boy. it is 11:00 a.m., east coast. it's tuesday, december 17th. check the markets. the red ink is still with us. the dow is off 260, the nasdaq down close to 100. show me big tech, please. something of a mixed picture. we have apple, microsoft, and google up and amazon nvidia down. look at nvidia down again. that's in correction territory. the 10-year treasury, the yield there backing away from the 440 level down to 438. now this. kamala harris vacationed briefly in hawaii and made a short video saying don't ever let anybody take your power from you since losing the election. i don't know what that meant.

more recently addressed laid off campaign workers saying our spirit will not be defeated. again, not sure what that means. she is 60 years old, she's been california's attorney general, a senator, a vice president, and the loser in the last presidential election. so where to from here? well, on a call asked donors to cover her campaign's debts, she pledged to stay in public life. but in what capacity? may be tempted to run for governor of california. that would be something of a come down from the vice presidency. might try to run again for the white house if trump could come back after a defeat, why couldn't she? one good reason why running for public office again wouldn't be a good idea. kamala harris was not a good candidate and not equipped to win votes and democrats could make excuses and didn't have enough time to develop an effective campaign and couldn't shake loose from unpopular joe biden or america wouldn't vote for woman of color. all the executions ignore kamala

harris' weakness as a candidate, specificsly her inability and unwillingness to answer questions. candidate trump was in front of the cameras constantly. even when tied up in court, he was dualing with the media. his long interview with joe rogan hit 20 million viewers in 20 hours. harris shied away from rogan like she shied away from countless other opportunities and vote erics became convinced she was afraid of questions and sensed that she wouldn't go near the key issues like a failure on the border or persistent inflation. if you can't directly address your voter concerns, you lose. kamala harris is still the vice president, that's her job now. after january 20th, she'll have to chart a new course. hard to believe that she will run for public office again any time soon. third hour of varney starts now.

stuart: jimmy failla has walked across the set and taken a sit. >> did he ever. the only way for her to vet votes is on dance with the stars. she's finished in public office and she was dancing with the truth the whole election and denied flip-flopping on every single position and got out and embraced some biden policies. she claimed bidenomics was working. at a time when 72% of americans thought we were headed in the wrong direction, and that's what it really came down to. yes, trump was super available in a way she willing to be but she couldn't be because she couldn't defend her policies. one of the stories i tell on the show and i've it would you before is her and biden were basically like when someone is setting you up on a blind dale and won't tell you if the person is good looking. do they love sports or what does

she wear to the game? does she look good in the clothes or funny? their evasive nature coming to >> that spirit can never be defeated and our spirit is not defeated.

we are not defeated. >> we're willing to put in the hard work that and work must continue. that pep talk isn't enough. not even close. >> >> she didn't have a primary. okay. she didn't have to run. it was 100 days long and she blew a billion and a half and wound up 20 million in the hole. there'll move on and jobs and a good economy and nothing to do with kamala harris and that's the reality. okay. her policy is her moment, okay, did not connect with america. you owned by talking about christmas music and the little drummer boy. her problem was she'd rename it the little drummer them and nobody asked her that. secure the border. pay the groceries. that's all, varney. that's all she wanted.

>> stuart: we'll watch you saturday night at 12:00 p.m. eastern. thank you. jimmy. >> you're the best. stuart: no change in the status of red ink and down 200 on the dow and 111 on the nasdaq. going to 10 l thousand and backed out of to 106.2. what would you tell a young investor what was about to jump into built doyne? what would you say to them? >> be careful, and here is why, if you want to invest in bitcoin, you should. but you keep hearing it's hitting on new highses in that's not a good thesis.

if you want to sustain for the long term and want to go to 200, 250, a million. stuart: what do you tell someone that might be getting into the dow and dow stocks and getting a bit skiddish. what would you say? >> i would say that headlines like this, that if you knew nothing else and you just saw this headline that biggest string-over losses for the market since 2017, oh my god, major correction going on. there's no major correction going on. it's right at all time high ands nasdaq all time highs. id oint want to see everybody telling the headlines everything is great and everybody pile in.

is trump still on board with a ban? reporter: well, it's hard to say for sure, stu, but it actually doesn't seem like it. at a press conference just before president elect trump's meeting with tiktok ceo at mar-a-lago, trump didn't rule out stopping a ban on the app. >> we'll take a look at tiktok. i have a warm spot for tiktok because i won youth by 34 points, and there's those that say that tiktok had something to do with that. reporter: the president elect met with chu on the same day tiktok filed a emergency appeal with the supreme court. the social media company is asking the court to block the law that would require its chinese parent company byte dance to sell the app or face a ban in the united states. as of right now, it has just over a month to sell or tiktok could go dark across the country the day before the inauguration. lawmakers that pass the divest or ban law argue the social media company poses a national

security threat, but the company says the law violates the first amendment rights of its users and tells fox business that tiktok ban results in massive and unprecedented s censorship f 170 million americans on januarw that small businesses on tiktok would lose more than 1 billion in revenue and creators would suffer almost $300 million in lost earnings in one month unless the ban is halted. tiktok is asking the supreme court to weigh in by january 6 so a pretty quick time line here, stu. we'll see what happens. stuart: yes, it is. grady, thanks very much. a senior russian general accused of using chemical weapons against ukraine was killed in an explosion in moscow. a remotely detonated bomb was hidden into a scooter outside of his apartment building. former state department official christian whiten joins me now. any speculation on what putin's

response will be? >> probably unpleasant win. this is someone that's well known to the russian public, well known to president putin, not just one of dozens or hundreds of generals. this was a strike within moscow implies the fact that it make it is clear that ukraine does have an intelligence network of human operatives and not just people that can eves drop on electronics but plant a bomb that was placed inside an electric scooter, and kill someone at a very specific time. there's going to be a very strong and unpleasant reaction. stuart: what does it say about the russia ukraine war? i don't necessarily -- it's not expanding but taking on a new form? >> it is. it's l sort of seems as if the ukrainians are not necessarily taking on board president trump's advice to take steps to negotiate. he's not president yet. he hasn't named a negotiator and ambassador to germany as supreme

negotiator and hasn't designated the task without that general kellogg, another senior figure in the first trump administration so that hasn't gotten organized yet, but killing a senior general is not something that's going to change factors on the battlefield. it's going to sort of agitate your opponent. i'm not sure it's what you do if you want to facilitate talks with your opponent. stuart: be benjamin netanyahu, a spokesperson said he's not going to cairo. listen to what john kirby says about a ceasefire deal, watch this. >> we believe and the israelis have said this that we're getting closer. no doubt about it, we believe that. we also are cautious in our optimism and we've been in this position before where we weren't able to get over the finish line and hamas will have to come toll table and willing to negotiate in good faith they've been the obstacle here. stuart: christian, you're heard kirby, hamas is the obstacle here and trump says there'll be

hell to pay if they don't give up hostages by january to the. doesn't this raise the chances for a deal? reporter: it should raise the chance for a deal along with complete collapse on the other side of israel of the assad government, which is another iranian client. iran should be feeling very vulnerable and lost syria and going to lose hezbollah and the people taking over syria aren't going to want a shia army to re-with their own soonny administermy and gaza going for them. going out on a limb with iranians and kirby is a bs artist that's been saying the exact same thing for the last year plus and and it's not imminent till we hear that specifically from the ziti ragaini ellie government. stuart: the map of the mideast being rewritten ask largely because of trump and netanyahu's

insis tans ongoing after his enemy. and not biden and democrats but ned netanyahu and trump that arranged things in the middle east. did you agree? >> i do agree. we'll give netanyahu, there's tension between bb and president trump, but till give netanyahu the leverage he needs and leeway he needs to finish the military job in gaza and then there's still the lack of a political solution, israelis would love for the gulfies to come in and create some sort of state. it'll be awe authoritarian and not going to have -- atorrtarianism and not going to be govern gaza and maybe trump can help get them there because biden has not been helping the israelis find the solution. stuart: leaving it there. christian whiton, thank you very much. united health, goldman,

into a family i was overseas on a deployment. i got separated from my marines and i got hit in the neck, and it broke my neck and paralyzed me. 14 years ago, i was on a training mission. did a military freefall, and i had some faulty equipment. i hit the ground. going, 30 to 40 knots and was instantly paralyzed. i met jack fanning when he invited us to park city, utah, through his foundation. i was able to actually get on the mountain and ski with my family, i can't put into words what that meant. i got paid in the military to do crazy fun stuff. and after my accident, i'm still that same guy. and when i was able to jump out of a perfectly good, helicopter, at 10,000 feet, i did it. i was talking to some vets last week

amazing how we have these houses where they can come over because they■re in chairs too. carpet and wheelchairs don't mix very well. tunnel to towers, they got rid of all that. they redid my whole bathroom. that's probably the favorite part of my house. i thought they were just going to do the upgrades. but the surprise to me was they paid off the entire mortgage. when they told me they're going to pay off my mortgage, i cried. please contribute $11 a month by visiting t2t.org now do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? now you can sell your policy - even a term policy - for an immediate cash payment. call coventry direct to learn more. we thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. but we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. our friend sold their policy to help pay their medical bills, and that got me thinking. maybe selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry

direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned we could sell all of our policy, or keep part of it with no future payments. who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. if you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit coventrydirect.com to find out if your policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen. coventry direct, redefining insurance. stuart: the markets, dow down 270 and nasdaq down 73. there's still plenty of red ink on the left hand side of the screen. mike murphy with me, you brought junior stock picks. first up, united health group, which i believe is down sharply today.

>> now there's talk that trump wants to attack a lot of the "middlemen" and somehow the insurers going for that and i¢ bought it yet and watching the selloff and some sign of bottoming and i know for sure, my premiums for united healthcare insurance are going up 14% this year. so there's a good business model and haven't lost customers. this hasn't impacted their bottom line so there's value in the company. the thing for nerve nucleus is not only currently doing this and government pushes forward and going for them and subsidiaries and parts of the businesses and going for them

and stuart: donald trump promising to knock out the prescription drug middlemen and madison alworth joining us and what do they do? reporter: going between all the insurers going from drug makers and pharmacies and he agrees with trump and they're a big reason why prices are going up and looking at pbm and determining what drugs are included under a specific plan. critics like them and going for them going for that.

>> knocking out middlemen and getting drug costs down at levels that nobody has ever seen before reporter: true value of rebates are not known but it is known that pbms take home a portion of that rebate for their own profit instead of passing the full value going for them. signa and united healthcare group falling down 3% and looks like they're following suit. the reason why they're taking such a hit is because those three make up 59% of the pbm market and no offense to mike murphy, not just an insurer, but they work in the pbm space and that's why we're seeing the movement this. of course we reached out to the big three and heard back from cbs and they -- cvs and said "any policy that limits the use of pbm negotiating tools leaving

american patients, taxpayers and businesses at mercy of drug payer and maker set. they're interested in learning more alaska the value we deliver. the pharmacist here, he agrees with trump and says pbms are guilty of raising prices and not giving a lot of value to the patients. take a listen. >> that's a very good spend and they have a billion on p, r. i can tell you this, manufacturers deserve thrnings g and creation something. reporter: they're working together to tackle the very issue. so obviously president elect trump not yet in the white house but we're see ago lot of movement on the issue. not only from the big guy but also from the chambers. student stuart: madison, got it. thank very much.

robert f. kennedy jr. on capitol hill trying to drum up support and he's trump's pick for health and human services secretary. guy benson joining me this morning. is rfk jr. confirmation in trouble because of the comments on vaccines? >> i'm not sure it is clear it is in trouble at this point. he might have tough questions from the right flank on abortion and single issuer healthcare and some on the left and others questioning him about vaccines and some of the things he's said through the years, but in terms of hard nose lining up, until you start seeing those, i wouldn't really categorize it as in trouble and let's say hypothetically, there's one or two republicans who can't stomach something about rfk jr.. some on the left wing are back hand for the reasons and possibly another strange bedfellow moment and going for vaccines.

stuart: i think of polio and the idea to ban the polio vaccine and that's a nonstarter as far as i'm concerned and most americans, but he doesn't want to ban poll owe vaccine and wants to take a closer look. >> >> we've eradicated a terrible disease and rfk said similar things and that's why the hearings are going to be important and this is in terms of process certainly and for the public to maybe feel reassured people that aren't totally sold on rkq and myself included in some respects and having him under oath answering the questions and explaining what he actually believes and what he would intend to do with the power he'd be entrusted with in this department that'll be a big moment. stuart: we saw trump speak for 40 questions with reporters and strikes that's an enormous

contrast with biden over the last four years. what we're looking at is live action presidency and i keep saying that. >> i had this moment, sturt, and i wonder if you did too. i had to remind myself this man is not yet the president. it felt in almost every way he's the president and in some ways that's a good thing and we're seeing progress onconumerous fronts but also somewhat frightens and someone else that has the authority, the power of the presidency and as usual, he's mostly mia. as far as press conference went, wide ranging, kale lee mack -- kayleigh mcenany call it had free wheeling and he's estranged in some of the other performances and expect as americans a free country have leaders to respond routinely to

questions and so little of that under biden and think alaska the harris campaign. she didn't answer a single question for 40 days. it's crazy. stuart: the press conference seemed like the mood of the whole country was changed and you're watching the guy and he's entertaining and not ranting and not like that at all. not insulting anybody these days and he's just carrying things forward very rapidly. i think he's got the country on his side. stuart: 200 billion. lauren: the reporters there appreciated doing that job and quality of the questions and the tone. the tone was a little bit nicer. >> yeah and the quality and tone of the answers as well. stuart: exactly. >> you don't have to be a partisan to look at what we witnessed yesterday and saying where all respect, the sitting president is not capable of that right now. he just isn't. jacqui: that is true. guy benson, thank you for joining us.

with 1100-horsepower engine in it. they built it because they love my foundation and they want to help us raise money for the next round of work ethic scholarships. that beast is going to be auctioned off next month in scots dale at barrett jackson's big charity auction. it's a huge deal for me, stuart, 100% of the money goes into the work ethic scholarship program and raising money and one of a kind. i mean, honestly, it hummens me that these -- humbles me these men would do this for my foundation. i'm going to promote the heck out of it. stuart: so you should. think you'll get more than 100,000? the press was there to write about it as just a truck in and

stuart: the president elect is demanding the administration stop selling off unused sections

of the border wall for bennys on the dollar. mr. trump is threatening to take legal action. joining me is a art del cueto ad national border vice council. they're trying to sell off the wall and that's a deliberate stalling tactic to stop trump from completing the wall, am i right? >> definitely s. and once again, these individuals are showing their hatred towards trump is bigger than love to america or the citizens because what's happening? they're selling in off knowing full well that the administration is going to come on and finish off the portions-over the wall not finished and now the material is gone. they have to buy material once again. who is the one that's going to have to pay for it? obviously the taxpayers and falls on the hands of this administration. i'm going to say this, varney, there's nothing wrong with that material. i've heard some experts or so-called experts say the material was old and out in the desert like the festivus has been up in the desert; right?

only difference this is laying down. they just had to finish off the footing and put those panels back on. there's nothing wrong with it. they could use it. they're just going to use excuse after excuse to destroy and hand over a dumpster fire to the incoming administration. stuart: they're just making things worse. bloom burg reports that the trump team reached out to governments of mexico and el salvador about taking back any migrants that we deport. i'm more interested in places like venezuela because they're that the going to take anybody back, no matter what trump threatens. how will that work out? >> they'll have to. there's going to be work done with countries and countries of the individuals that have come through but at the end, look, i think when you threaten them with some type of tariff to their executives and canceling off some of their visas, maybe some of their leadership, i think they'll come around. things are laying out and he hasn't taken over office and

president of mexico, she dug her heels in and saw the relate in some of her advisers told her hey, hold on. she's since changed her position and she's willing to work with the united states. i think we'll see a lot of that once trump takes over office. stuart: meanwhile there's a rush tots board tore get in before trump takes office. they're going to get in, aren't they? if they can make it to the border when biden is still president, they'll get in? >> most definitely. and the numbers are going up again in certain spots and again, as we've said many times before, the being issue i've been preaching about it is the got aways and it's the big issue so simple to come across and ask for asylum getting released and have to wonder how bad are the intentions of those not wanting to be noticed coming in or how bad is the criminal background on the individuals. yeah, it'll be hard the next several weeks before taking office. stuart: we'll all pay for it. art del cueto, thank you very

much. see you soon. back to the markets because we've got the dow, at the moment down 200 points. it looks like it's going to be oonine-day, nine-session losing streak. what's your advice? don't panic? >> absolutely don't panic. because i think towards the end of the year, a lot of times people make one of two mistakes. if the market is rallying, they say i better jump in here and not miss this late rally and put money to work. and if the market is selling off, they say oh, i'd better sell. and either one i think isn't the rights plan. to make an investment move based on a few days or a few weeks of movement, f in the long term it's not going to work out and people should have a plan on what they're doing and shouldn't let holiday shortened trading change that and invest and stay on the market. stuart: your position is always stay long in the market. adjust your portfolio but all means but you're in stocks. that's the way to go. >> worked for last 100 years so i'm sticking with it. stuart: i can see. okay. murphy, thank you very much
