congress narrowly avoided the government shutdown over the weekend bypassing the new stopgap measure that will fund the government through march 3 president-elect trump and elon musk had their hands all over the bill, the original agreement had over 1500 pages trump and musk were able to convince conservatives to cut down 100. policies that were cut include a fix for stolen food funds and overhaul for pharmacy benefits, congressional pay raise in the crackdown on junk fees just to name a few. trump is not publicly responded but is reportedly unhappy since the bill does not address the debt ceiling. we'll get into that throughout the show. raleigh style speech since the november win. president-elect says his administration will be ready as soon as he is inaugurated. watch. >> we have a few days to wait will be fully operational by

2:00 o'clock on the 20th. >> with the greatest economy of the history on our country maybe in a country frankly and we did things that nobody could've done and will do them even better now. >> 2:00 p.m. on january the 20th. set your clocks, president-elect has promised a big day one. as we mentioned earlier the largest deportation operation in u.s. history. trump is also responded to critics saying elon musk is in charge of the white house. watch this. >> will create a new department of government efficiency headed by elon musk. and no he's not taken the presidency. i like having smart people. the on the new kit. russia, russia, russia, ukraine, all the different hoaxes. the new one president trump has ceded the presidency to elon

musk. no, no, that is not happening. elon musk has done an amazing job isn't it nice to have smart people that we can reliant. ashley: i love donald trump when he's on a roll like that. todd piro joining me thank you very much it seems like the media to donald trump's point is time to create a riff between trump and musk with musk taking over but in reality not the case. it's not the case, whenever donald trump wants to get rid of someone he's going to get rid of them. there's no rest, donald trump is in charge taking input from all sources. when he no longer wants the input the people will be dispatched to do something else. there's not a fight, government is messy is not linear it is complicated and often involves many divergent points of views and at the end of the day the american people voted for this president and all the people

that will work for him to clean up the government. elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are the two that are tasked with the cleanup the didn't do their best and is not going to be a clean process over the next couple of years but at the end of the day we have an opportunity for real meaningful structural reform. once-in-a-lifetime stuff. ashley: i could not agree more i'm very optimistic i'm not sure if it's unrealistic more power to him. bottom line use can overshadow donald trump. he does suck the oxygen out of any room. there is no question of who's in charge. the fact that there saying elon musk is trying to get his fingers into everything ridiculous. elon musk is not a shrinking violet, i don't know if anybody's used since 1950s. as one who got up with. nobody's going to push one but at the end of the day with two heads colliding donald trump is the one who is elected president

was in elon musk this was a messy process. republicans are not in charge of the current senate and despite what appears republicans are not currently in charge of the white house. this is a difficult situation they had to get through now and wait until january 20 we will see what happens then. ashley: next one for you we want you to listen to house minority hakeem jeffries about the chaos on capitol hill last week. listen. >> it was important for the american people to see the beginning of what is going to take place over the next 2 - 4 years which is chaos, dysfunction and extremism. a republican party that is not interested in helping out working-class americans. >> this from the party whose president was half-asleep for most of it. jeffrey says the spending bill fly is classic trump chaos. how do you respond to that. >> did you see the smile on jen

psaki phase this is the first time she saw the opportunity to smile since 11:00 p.m. on november 5. they're going to take what they view as a win anywhere they can get it. at the end of the day the trump breeds chaos wherever he goes. let's say for argument sake that the four years under donald trump or chaos, the american people voted for those four years over the last four years when things might not of been as clean and linear, the word that i use from 2017 to 2020. look at where we are the last four years, that's at the trump voters in the non- trump voters wanted to change said with her both on november 5. ashley: the democrats don't seem to get it. stay right there as i always warn you we locked the door so you can't get away. let's take a look at the future, the dow and s&p showing downward arrows, the nasdaq slightly

higher, mike lee joins us, great to have you along. i know you are bullish but will happen to the santa raleigh, is he still warming up. >> i think we're going to see more buyers coming in yet a bearish fail. what happened in the selloff last week right at key technical levels buyers emerged and one with the rippling raleigh at the end of the week last week. the bears try to take the market down and people are looking to take it out. it doesn't make sense, the macroeconomic is going to improve over the next year. earnings are going to be substantially better than they were this year. we're going to get recap from the fed and may not be as many thought a couple weeks ago but will get increasing liquidity this is a recipe for entire

stock prices. >> you say next year will be the year of software for artificial intelligence. make your case. >> historically how it works you get infrastructure buildup or hardware does very, very well and you have nvidia, google, microsoft building the cloud for all these companies. it certainly going strong and use all that with broad, a few weeks ago but at this point in the cycle you get your move to software. a name i talked about is palantir's stocks more than tripled this year. we're going to see that these other names. service now is another software name that i absolutely love. all the a.i. projects when you build a large language model with nvidia unido form of a software organized with the snowflake or service now or palantir.

that will lead to increased need for cybersecurity so palo alto and crouched like to do extraordinarily well. a.i. is not only assisting them to come up with better cybersecurity but having much larger computer models in operations and technology operations with the need for cyber. i think this will be a pretty spectacular year for software. ashley: very good. thank you so much. i love the tie. have a great holiday. now this as we approach the new year we have a fox pull on people's feelings for the country's future. our americans feeling hopeful? >> the future of the country, 55% are extremely or very helpful with what's ahead in the latest fox news poll but 46% are not. the current numbers are driven by partisan divide, overwhelming majority of republicans are

hopeful for the future. 86% will majority's of democrats and independents. 7254% are not. as you might expect in 2021 after joe biden was elected things were reversed with six and ten democrats saying they were hopeful and seven in ten republicans and six in ten saying they were not. my take away independents are pretty negative about how things are going to go. were not happy when the democrat or republican wins. hopefully chip the independent in your life is holiday season. >> is the nature of independence. thank you. donald trump promising to return to common sense when he takes the white house. >> revolution that's coming soon to america. we're going to cut your taxes, and inflation, slasher prices, raise your wages and bring thousands of factories worrying back to america.

capitol hill, good morning, what are lawmakers saying. >> there are so many opinions about this these are elected officials getting a big dose of opinion from someone not elected some republicans are loving the shakeup and others are adjusting. >> i think it's exciting and challenging and we're going to have to adapt to each other. >> they dumped over 1500 pages in elon musk using the tool of twitter brought transparency to >> we have a vice president and the speaker feels like elon musk as a prime minister. >> congresswoman marjorie taylor greene went online to suggest that jojo should become a legislative branch as others are lobbying to elect elon musk as the next speaker three democrats have been pretty outraged by the influence of elon musk calling him as shadow president. which trump shot back out over

the weekend. >> is not going to be president, that i can tell you and i'm safe, you know why he can't be he was not born in this country. he's right about that. democrats do want to work with doge, jared moskowitz is hoping that test loaner will reach out to somebody like him the next time he is in washington, d.c. and i do remember asking elon musk when he was on capitol hill he would work with democrats and he said yes. back to you. ashley: thank you very much. michigan congresswoman bill huizenga joined just now. thank you for being here. what do you make of elon musk's upcoming role in the white house. shadow president as someone suggested. >> i don't see the shadow president but good to be with you as were leading into this christmas time.

i do welcome his involvement he brings a level of transparency that frankly most people cannot. we are used to having outside folks influencing what were doing whether think tanks, whether individuals and whether constituents and obviously they weigh in different ways social media is a huge way of doing that. i saw a clip of senator hagerty talking about the transparency in elon musk's involvement brings and insignificant. i welcome it. >> next one. trump is reportedly not happy republicans cannot secure a suspension of the debt ceiling, he's worried the democrats will use it to get in his way, what are your thoughts on that. >> certainly, the debt ceiling about is something i've been a part of for the last 14 years.

it came in prior to that with a good goal and objective it is to focus and have a real debate about where our country is with our debt and deficit. i'm the author of a bipartisan debt commission bill with scott peters out of california. this is something that's been on a lot of our minds of the last number of years but you have to question the effectiveness of a debt ceiling vote. has it really curb our spending. $36 trillion later that answer is pretty clear. can it be read placed was something that is as effective to drive the debate. i'm very open to that. i have no problem with that. a debt ceiling is painted past obligation not about authorizing future funding that's really what we need to get to the debate about future funding.

ashley: at least for having the debate. thank you so much for joining us. merry christmas to you. >> merry christmas to you. we appreciate it. ashley: senator rand paul spoke about donald trump nominees over the weekend, what did he say. >> he said to go to get going, rand paul saying the senate under republican control will waste no time in getting trump's nominees through. here's what he said to maria bartiromo. >> i cannot be happier with his nominees. i cannot pick better some are exactly what i would've picked marty makary, at nih, bobby kennedy, kash patel, tulsi gabbard, the list goes on and on. pete hegseth, good people, we're going to work hard into the first week you have a half a dozen approved in the first week. i will control one committee and that i pledge to get them to her as quickly as possible. >> on the other side of the

aisle mckay john fetterman saying he's keeping an open mind when it comes to trump's nominees. >> my commitment and i think i'm doing the job. i'm going to sit down and have a conversation in the president picked these people, not would be my first choice, second choice, third choice but that's democracy. to me it would be distressing if he is confirmed and if the democrats are going to turn our back collectively to the leader of defense. that is astonishing and dangerous. >> at least one individual in the senate on the democrat side understands advice and consent requirement. we will see if the other ones do as well. >> we shall see. thank you very much as we head to the break taking a look at the futures they are showing us that the dow and s&p slightly lower than the nasdaq slightly higher but guess what we're

do is going to require legislation from congress and you have a majority in the house of representatives in the budget last week that there was going to be a lot of chaos he could do that unilaterally. getting the tax-cut permanent is a most important thing for donald trump that's good to be a battle on capitol hill. >> given the sunday majority in the house, how much can he get done he's going to have to leave on the modern public and build same with the speaker of the house herding cats and the republicans in two or three seat majority. right now.
