♪ silent night ♪ holy night ♪ stuart: silent night, nice. that is the fox christmas tree. a good competitor to the rockefeller -- raqqa center tree. much better than the one in london which has a reputation for being ragged. let's get on with it. good morning, everyone.

it is 10:00 eastern. straight to the money, the dow is up 20 points, the s&p down 13, nasdaq down 116 points, the 10 year treasury, the yield is down a little bit but you still have 4.5%, the price of oil back around $70. bitcoin has come down a bit, 95, 600 at the moment. we are keeping a close watch on capitol hill. the house has until midnight tonight for preventing a government shutdown. a temporary fix at 10:00 this morning. looks like that will not happen at this point. this new plan would be a short continuing resolution, unclear how long it would last. we will bring you the latest as it comes. it is a rock and roll morning, latest read on consumer sentiment.

lauren: it is 74, up for the fifth month in a row and the highest in 8 months. buying conditions very strong particularly due to a surge in consumers exciting future price increases. stuart: now this. the failure to pass the government funding bill shows how difficult it will be to extend the trump's tax cuts. that has rattled the stock market. late last night, 38 republicans in the house voted against a trump supported spending and debt deal, trump had demanded a yes vote and threaten to primary anyone stupid enough, his words, to oppose him. oppose him they did and the bill went to defeat and the government faces a shut down at midnight tonight. at this point the republican party is split. trump's control of the party has been challenged and there is some resentment of elon musk. on the other side, biden is still president, he supposed to be in charge, nearly 200

democrats voted against funding the government, they are shutting things down. they are playing politics. that's what they are doing next year when the new congress takes over. it will be hard to extend the trump tax cuts when the gop has only a razor thin majority in the house, and the party is divided. there is no republican party discipline, the trump agenda is in danger. this is not what investors want to hear. the market has rallied since the election largely because the trump agenda is very pro-business, this morning there will be no attempt to pass a new funding bill. serious negotiations are underway, no way of telling what is going to happen but last night demonstrated how difficult it will be for trump to have things his way when his own party refuses to accept his authority. second hour of varney just getting started. tammy bruce, friday morning,

the trump agenda is in danger. 's of this chaos that we are seeing? are we going to have this or four years? >> i would say the success has occurred and that he stopped a 1500 page woke debacle. that was the danger. it was going to submit woke and spending, it was going to give everyone in congress a payraise when all of us are struggling, it was going to protect people in congress from subpoenas and investigations. it was a freaking christmas tree, the wish list of which lists. even santa probably wanted to punch them in the nose because it was wrong. that was stopped. let me tell you what newt gingrich says about government shutdowns on twitter, donald trump and republicans should not be afraid of a government shutdown, the next election is two years away. we had two showdowns in 1995 and became the first reelected house gop majority since 1928.

it made -- donald trump is serious about draining the swamp. this is success. if you want to this new bill to pass, he doesn't want the fight you mentioned next year for them to gum up the works and so he knows what he is doing but he saved the country and saved next year from the debacle of what the first thing was that johnson was perfectly happy with, that is what he stopped, that's what elon musk stopped, what the american people stop so it is politics, it's fine, we are going to see, trump is going to have to be more aggressive but -- stuart: more aggressive? liz: he only has two years, the midterm is coming up, may be four years. he knows what has to happen. stuart: he desperately wants to get the debt ceiling provision in. he doesn't want the debt ceiling. if there's a debt ceiling and it stays in, schumer will exploit it next year.

liz: not that he wants to spend more, this is the thing, doge is going to fix those issues. there's an element in place where the spending is going to go down, republicans have to accept that. standing up and saying i don't like this, those days are over, this is a different two years, different four years coming up. this is not like what are we going to do, we know what we are going to do in cutting spending, the republicans have got to let him do his job he was elected to do and there will be people primary aid but that is what got that 1500 page bill killed and now they've got to let trump be trump and get the work done we hired him for. we one another contentious issue to deal with. it is an explosive report in the wall street journal for claims the white house covered up biden's apparent mental decline from day one of his presidency. to adapt the white house around

the needs of a diminished leader they told visitors keep meetings focused, interactions with senior democrat lawmakers and cabinet members including secretaries like defense secretary lloyd austin and treasury janet yellen, those meetings were in frequent or they grew less frequent. they conspired to dean i the truth about biden's mental ability. tammy:it was a constitutional action coming happening because the president is supposed to be aware the buck stops. he is the person we hold that person accountable, when things go wrong, but we've had unelected, faceless bureaucrats running this country who will not face repercussions and will remain in a bureaucratic post edition and that's the opposite of what this country was built to be able to do yet we started on this show, this is not new, we've been saying this for years. i'm a little disturbed that it

is only like real because a newspaper said it. our newspapers said it. this has been obvious. how many years have to go by to where we suspend disbelief and people talk as though biden was being the president, we knew that wasn't the case and here we are at the end when it is over is that we are dealing with this. that disturbs me, that is the kind of thing that has to change about where we look for information, different sources, fox and fox business saying things to inform the american people but only now is it real. that is part of the problem. and her he is not president yet, faceless bureaucrats are still in there doing stuff and we need to be concerned about that. stuart: wonderful performance, i wish you a merry christmas. to change the tone of the day, merry christmas. tammy:it is great for the country. i'm excited and the future is

good and bright and we are not going to walk into it, we have to fight into it and use the system the founders set up. it is a beautiful day. stuart: you held your end up. back to the markets. the s&p down 10 and nasdaq down 81. the losses have been limited. ray wong joins us. the magnificent seven stocks. give your outlook for 2025 please. >> part of the reason is we were in am and mande market, ipo market on the other end. companies like google, microsoft, acquisitions that it couldn't do in the past. companies like tesla as it gets deeper into the relationship

with elon musk and we think this will be a great market going forward, valuations are very high but they are about to get unleashed because we have an opportunity to have a merger and acquisition market we haven't seen before. stuart: give me your forecast on tiktok. will it be banned or sold? >> one of your guests said it is a spy agency for the chinese government. they will have 2 have national security concerns. hopefully it will be sold in terms of safety perspective but both presidential candidates used tiktok and found it useful. the right thing to do is to sell it. stuart: we've seen a lot of tech leaders take the tractor mar-a-lago.

he or a text site and, if you were running $1 trillion company, would you go down to mar-a-lago to meet with donald trump and if you did what would you ask for? >> you have to kiss the ring and if not, for the duty of the country, to see jeff baize oh sander elon musk, captains of the tech industry getting together at the same dinner and it is about innovation, talking about what types of regulation should be curtailed or put into place. those were the conversations you should be having talking about where the future might be. how do we get to $0.00 per, what our for energy, compete with china, $0.00 a kilowatt hour in five years, that means ais cheaper, manufacturing is cheaper, issues like this, tech policy issues that should get the president's attention and

what the long-term competitiveness is for the us economy. stuart: if you play your cards right you might have an invitation to mar-a-lago. >> i will take it. stuart: thanks for joining us. i want to wish you a merry christmas. you are looking, i want you to start with eli lilly because that is moving. lauren: we said in the last hour no one orders had a drug trial for a weight loss drug that was disappointing. that's good for eli lilly. it's drugs help you lose more weight, the fda said there is no more shortage of the key ingredients, it is down 19%, 3% because they are testing obesity pill. 2,025 is the euro who could be

the skinniest person alive. stuart: 19% down because of slight missing expectation for the weight loss drug. lauren: this company is negative for the year after all of this type, there are a lot of competitors coming in and losing one fifth of your body weight doesn't cut it. stuart: let's move on. occidental petroleum and sirius xm. lauren: berkshire hathaway uping a stake in both companies. they now own 28% of sirius xm. stuart: carnival is up. lauren: they are up 2%. carnival reported stronger demand, stronger revenue, they are predicting 20% earnings growth in 2,025. not only are we booking cruises and sea voyages but spending more on them.

stuart: senator ron johnson from wisconsin joins me now. there's an argument about the debt ceiling. trump wants no debt ceiling. many in the republican party cannot go along with that. what is going to happen? what is your position? >> merry christmas. i understand why donald trump is frustrated he has to deal with this after he becomes president. there are extraordinary measures, not that pressing an item now but i am a supporter of maintaining the debt ceiling. it's the only leverage we have of raiding and the size, scope, and posture of government and its influence over our lives and that was one of the promises of the trump campaign and what doge is wanting to do. if we give that up, i don't know what we have. i'm a big supporter. i need to convince donald trump to use that to his advantage rather than trying to dismiss and give up that leverage point. stuart: the republican party is split. how do you get around that?

>> it will require a unanimous republican party to do something with the debt ceiling. those of us who are supportive of maintaining and using it as leverage in getting something for it, those who went to suspend it or do away with it we have some discussions. we all share the same goal from the standpoint of returning prosperity, focusing on the hard women and this country. one thing that's crushing americans is $36 trillion in debt with no end insight and no fiscal controls terrain that in. i hope donald trump can embrace the leverage the debt ceiling will provide. he's a good negotiator. let's use the debt limit as a negotiating tool. stuart: senator ron johnson, i know you're busy and let me wish you a merry christmas indeed.

after he encouraged them to sync the initial deal. the wall street journal reports president biden's decline had been apparent even in the early days of his presidency. he would reportedly become tired if meetings ran long-term interactions with cabinet members were infrequent and tightly fitted, the white house pushing back on these characterizations as the president insists he will stay involved. >> president biden: we are not going away. i'm not going away. i will be deeply involved in foreign policy and deeply involved in all the things moving forward. a lot of people are doing that. >> reporter: the biden administration is making plans in case there's a shutdown. the office of management and budget has been in touch with federal agencies to see what they plan to do. stuart: we've got it. thanks very much indeed. a former analyst at cnn apologizing for ignoring president biden's mental decline.

>> as a reporter i have a confession to make, should have pushed harder earlier for more information about president biden's mental and physical well-being and signs of decline. people around joe biden were absolutely adamant that suggesting anything, asking the question whether he was in some physical, mental or both decline was offensive. how could you? it is age shaming. that impacted me at some level. stuart: that was honest. that was quite an admission. >> the stupidest confession i've ever heard. this is why it is so ridiculous. you heard him say he should have pushed harder to get to the bottom of the true state of joe biden's cognitive state, are you had to have was

eyesight, hearing a basic sanity. will use i'm shaking hands with the air or repeatedly fell down or forgot the names of his own cabinet members, when he said he had conversations with foreign leaders who had been dead for many years and 40% of his presidency on vacation, his decline has been on display going back to the 2020 campaign and now he leaves office with the lowest approval rating we've seen since richard nixon 50 years ago so if you are under 50 congratulations, you just lived through the worst presidency of your lifetime, hard to imagine any president that has performed worse, he's currently at 66% disapproval but if i only dug more to find out what was truly going on, it was right there in front of you. stuart: you are steamed up. tries this one. democrats and the mainstream media are raging against elon

musk's growing influence in washington. watch this. >> welcome to the elon musk presidency. >> speaker musk right now. >> i think elon musk believes he is president. i do. i have called him vice president, i've called him president but i don't know what jd is doing. >> is the head guy in charge. >> an unelected oligarch governing by tweet. >> president elon musk will be exerting the house republican conference than any president in the white house would. >> heard some republicans and for republicans referred to donald trump as vice president trump and it's not going to sit well. stuart: a lot to go out. looks like the democrats are trying to put a wedge between trump and musk. >> wonder why no one is watching the networks but you just showed anymore. during the first trump term, that was vladimir putin controlling trump, now putin is

old news that we will try it on musk is the one who is running trump, no one runs donald trump. it's the most ridiculous thing and they are trying to drive a wedge, trying to get trump to think maybe elon is getting too much attention, maybe he needs to be out, of course not, these two have been working together to cut government waste, they are not an office yet but they've been talking about it but this is a preview. if elon musk is running doge along with vivek ramaswamy and they want to cut 75% of government waste, they are going to have a big problem if this spending bill is any indication because republicans and democrats don't like cutting spending very much, they make these recommendations and get the pushback they are getting right now, this spending bill is full of pork, the they need to have republicans and even democrats on board but it is all talk when it comes to cutting spending as we see with the debt.

stuart: you've seen this and heard this but i want our viewers to say this. charlemagne tha god thinks biden may be jumping onto jen's he worked trend. >> last question do you think biden is quietly quit? >> no, absolutely not. >> if he doesn't do that in the next 30 days i will say he quit. stuart: looks like biden quietly quit. >> he's back in washington today but on tuesday he went to delaware and didn't come back until last night. and a level workweek, not a holiday week yet and there he is going back to delaware for no apparent reason and you have donald trump, the defector president negotiating with canada on the border to commit $100 billion in us investment, knows -- goes to notre dame, meets with emmanuel macron, we

barely see or hear from president biden. i think he has quit. the only thing he hasn't quit his pardoning people and commuting sentences. there he is setting record so he's active on that front but overall this is the absentee presidency. he quit a long time ago. stuart: i am going to conclude by wishing you a merry christmas and see you again soon. >> merry christmas. take care. stuart: the biden administration just gave california the green light to ban the sale of new gas powered cars by 2035. steve hilton calls that an assault on working people. texas has a new strategy to deter illegal border crossings putting up billboards in mexico. governor abbott's message to the migrants next.
