you can see lockheed down 2%, rtx down 1.he defense stock price targets on three of them in particular. all three harris, lockheed martin and general dynamics are concerned about the budget and doge and not enough money coming into the sector. stuart: lauren, thank you. the president of honduras is threatening to kick u.s. troops out of the country if trump follows through with the deportation plans. jennifer griffin at the pentagon. jennifer, has trump responded to this yet? reporter: stu, the trump transition team responded with a relatively tame statement "the trump administration looks forward to engaging our latin american partners to insure our southern border is secure and illegal immigrants can be returned to country of origin". nothing more from president trump himself and here are facts about the u.s. military presence in honduras. the military base was a key part of u.s. counter drug efforts in central america since the 1980s. the u.s. has about 1,000 american troops and military civilians based at sotteau kano air

musk seemed to confirm his fears when they began to criticize lockheed martin. top stealth fighter jet in the world. it's revered. in november, musk elaborated on why he doesn't like the f-35 saying quote, the f-35 design was broken at the requirements level because it was required to be too many things to too many people. this made it an expensive and complex jack of all trades. success was never in the set of possible outcomes and man fighter jets are obsolete in the age of drones anyway. will just get pilots killed, end quote. wow. that is a mouthful and that's the indictment right there. pilots. they're too expensive but they're great. now speaking with cnbc's own morgan brennan during a panel discussion a couple of weeks ago, lockheed martin's ceo, he's been on many times. he gave a great response to criticisms. you can't just replace these fighter jets with drones because the enemy has fancy jets of their own. that's a nice kudo. i think he made a good argument for why the u.s. and its allies will still want some. they've found themselves under the microsc

and, you know, lockheed martinnen reported 5% sales growth last year. why the f-35 fighter jet's stock diving in details coming up. and russian president vladimir putin today throwing down the drone gauntlet, announcing he wants russia to become a global drone leader. well, billionaire entrepreneur palmer luckey is already ahead of that game. he's live as his growing defense tech company, and april, a leader in drone production, gets set to expand its production footprint, it's a fox business exclusive. you can't miss this interview, it's rare.

its market cap is twice that of lockheed martin.as a market cap that is bigger than lockheed martin and raytheon. we have a bunch of startups and it is down to 10 on the list that focus on things that will have an impact on war. one company specializes in hypersonics. the ability to travel five times the speed of sound. we have a company that specializes in high-powered microwaves that can shoot drones out of the sky, 100 or more. we have other ones on the list that are spending a lot of different areas that are redefining warfare. what is interesting about the list, all of these have been started in the past 6, 7, 8 years. these companies are at the sides were a palantir or spacex were at a decade ago. these are the up and comers. the timing and route to maturity is something to watch. caroline: now worth $14 billion. scale ai, all about ai, the data behind warfare, is worth $13.8 billion. can you tell us about where there is a home for defense tech or is it sprawling? lizette: you nailed it. it is very much sprawling. with ed's co

and defense contractors such as lockheed martin, the largest defense contractor in the world, who wasd a contract from the u.s. navy on september 20th are likely to be the primary ben factors. boeing is going through a number of different issues right no but they'll also be a b benfactor. look for the guidance coming out of defense contractors. i think there are better days ahead. maria: do you want to buy stocks going into all of these big earnings? >> let me go to the earnings of this morning and then i'll get to the tech. on the gm side, you highlighted gas powered sales which is very important because gm made a quick pivot away from evs earlier than other automakers around the world and around the world is very important when it comes to the context here. a lot of european automakers are struggling, volkswagen in particular, stellantis as well, done very poorly, have a lot on their plate in terms of rates to go ahead and deal with because people can't purchase cars as easily if rates are higher but in addition they've got emission issues, labor issues abroad, a lot of shakeup goin

department of government efficiency poses to the f-35 fighter programs and now baked in the price of lockheedtin? do you see that falling under the incoming administration? >> i don't want to own the stock. even at 79 i'd rather own pounds because they are figuring out how to fix this defense procurement problem and the problem is that these companies make too much money and the taxpayer doesn't get the bang for the buck. lockheed martin came down nicely, it will find a level to buy, yields 2.7% and it's within the administration. richard in california. richard. >> caller: hello, mr. cramer. thank you for taking my call. happy new year. >> of course. same to you. what's going on? >> caller: thank you. i am a sports fan and long before overweight routed oregon in the rose bowl. nike has been fumbling the ball. they have a new ceo. i have been -- i have seen multiple cnbc episodes and highlighting nike as a buy or at least a hold. since i purchased nike in last may of 2024, it has been a disappointment. so should i continue to be really patient, which i can do and hold on to it. >>> should i bu

we have the president and ceo of lockheed martin. we have the director of space development agency and the vice chief of space operations for the u.s. 's. it is an honor and privilege to have you here on stage. thank you. -- the vice chief of space operations for the u.s. space force. >> space has changed immeasurably in the last five years. if you look at what the chinese and russians have done in advance and capabilities -- think about that. combine russia, china, and our adversaries like north korea and iraq, over 1000 constellations in space, they are serious about making sure they take over this domain and also fielding very aggressive capabilities in space. many antisatellite capabilities, things that should really put us on notice. we know, too, that the modernization of our military will be based upon what we are able to do in space. look at communications, command, and control. it will go through space. gps will go through space. the challenge -- the challenges are many. the opportunities are many. i argue that we have a gre

that is true is uh i'm on the case, it says will she will do the testing test job on the history, lockheed open. that is how much does she oh, how much that sound good. and then just you know, to the model of the met is do you have to get so much that's a little of a song out of the song all wrong. somebody should never set on with wants us to all these or will be sushi will recess. the said i need to, she works. gotta be yeah, she's back because know your show only the motion docs are what it is. you should be ready. all right there. what about when you, when you the full major sees around the world? do you adapt how you perform? when you do add, take your act to different countries or the these, the heart of the, or the also is that you perceptual? a lot of this was done by somebody that also was abuse tom o what, who had got a who have, who had the oakland? uh what i love you. i should be busted to sujata who knew it all heck, down full feet. so that full for the interview, there's a match or for live interview. so sophie son died. we send you a message over the database to few mac. oct

one area where it really benefitted us was in our investigation and ultimate challenge of the lockheed arrow jet merger. as you know, how the defense department comes out on a major merger in the defense industrial space really matters. it could be very difficult for an antitrust agency to say this is harmful to competition an d.o.d. says no, it is great so making sure we had that relationship to have that analysis and benefit from that was one of the many ways that the e.o. was constructed. we also filed comments in various regulatory dockets during the f.t.c. experience when usda was thinking about their rules addressing fairness or d. o.t. was thinking of their efforts. so all of that i see as having been quite successful. mr. baer: i have heard over the years from agency and cabinet secretaries and deputies counsel there's nothing like being responded to the white house two or three times a year to report what you have done it achieve the executives staff executive order and that accountability really made it easier for your views to be heard and be invited into the process. sticki

ended up not winning that one, but after i joined we had a steady drum beat of vertical mergers from lockheed arrow jets to where we ultimately prevailed. bill: prevailed in district court and ninth circuit. chair khan: microsoft-activision is still before the ninth circuit. bill: merger guidelines. 2010 guidelines had been around, but you and jonathan decided to take a fresh look. tell us what evolved from that process and to what degree there's been court acceptance and embrace of the merger guidelines. chair khan: this is a process we started quite early. i think we sent out the first rfi, request for information, december of 2021 posing a list of open-ended questions to the public. that informed our drafting around what should this next version look like. i think one of the most significant steps was even figuring out conceptually what should the scaffolding of the document even look like. when you open the 2023 merger guidelines, they look different than the 2010 guidelines, and figuring out what is the right way to put out what are ultimately analytical tools to aid enforcers during the

cummins, lockheed martin, microsoft. what do they have in common?science to work in as positive way for their businesses and the economy at large. so cummins, they're coming off some softness many their core business, but they are improving, and we expect 20 the 25 the to get better. very good, solid company with a good balance sheet. lockheed martin, i cannot imagine that our government is going to be spending less money on defense going forward. things like c-130 airship, for example, very strong. book to bill very strong there. and microsoft investing tremendously many a.i., co-pilot, a as your, all of that makes -- azure, and and all of that makes sense. all of them the very low debt, very profitable assets, all of them very consistent -- charles: no worry about interest rates, the fed, the fundamentals are so good, you don't have the to worry about -- >> let's say you had something go bump in the night, everything goes down, i think these hold up. we think they hold up better. charles: right. kevin, great sufficient. happy new year. >> thank yo

. >> that's one thing they want to reform the $200 hammers doesn't mean lockheed was making $200 on aammer it was all of the oversight. >> in the new warfare, drones are taken on huge importance are drugmakers doing well. >> one of the big winners the biggest defense contractors down 10%, credos there invested in hypersonic technology unmanned aircraft technology that is up almost 50% since the election seek and see where the winds are blowing. let's switch to gasoline. gas prices are up almost 1% and demand is up almost 1% over the past four weeks versus a year ago economist a great that means economy is kicking in, drivers say. enter terrible and pay more the pump. >> economist are about as well, inflation we did see in the cpi the energy cost made up about 40% of the gain in headlines. this is not totally great news and consumers not super happy. it is interesting oil prices have been on a tear since the start of the year and what we haven't seen as actual prices at the pump also going on a tear they have been taking a policing roughly the beginning of december $3 and now 310, 311

host: the top pentagon contractor donors to think tanks, here's the top five, northrop grumman, lockheed martin, mitsubishi, rtx and airbus at about $1.7 million. what should we know about pentagon contractors? guest: there's a lot to know, great question. i think when it comes to that list you mentioned, it is well worth noting, we talk about companies, these are some of the very top defense contractors, these are companies getting tens of billions of dollars every year in pentagon contracts and taxpayer money. what we see with this think tank funding is they are turning around and taking a little piece of that, giving that money back to think tanks, they are making recommendations that would be a financial benefit. this includes things like recommending specific arms sales . recommending other arms sales from places like israel. we see this over and over again that these think tanks are funded by pentagon contractors are making recommendations that would be financial windfall. you are seeing this -- i would say virtuous, but you are seeing the cycle of taxpayer money going to these ent

when he was going to lockheed. so at some point he went to bed because he was in bed. >> reporter: it was text messages or you couldn't get through to him? >> the text messages stopped. after a while. the text messages stopped probably at about 11:00 p.m. at about 11:00 p.m. the text messages stopped and the last phone call when i talked to him last was about 9:30, 9:40 and he was walking around with his lantern in the house. chase and i were talking to him. we were on facetime and he was in there with his lantern gathering his stuff and putting stuff up. he had just took his medicine and that was it. >> so sad to think about that. >>> look at this. in the palisades fire a ring camera caught the moment a home was overtaken by flames. this is from tuesday night. all those flames suddenly came up and the smoke made it nearly impossible to see after that. the palisades fire is still the largest that's burning in l.a. it is already the most destructive fire the county has ever seen according to cal fire. this helicopte

it says what she will do, the testing test job on the history, lockheed open. that is how much does she oh, how much that sound good. and then just, you know, to the model of notice, do you have you so much that's a little of a song out of the song all wrong. somebody shouldn't be set on was to watch this to all these or will be sushi will recess. the said, i need to choose one. got to be 0. she's back because know your show only the motion docs are what, what is it should be ready. all right there. what about when you, when you perform overseas, around the world, do you adapt how you perform when you do take your act to different countries or the, these uh, parts of the, or the, or says that your boss actually a lot of this was done, but actually that also was abuse tom. oh, i love to have that. but who i love, who had the oakland? uh what i love you, i should be busted to sujata who is all heck, down full feet. so is that full free and easy? does it matter for live interview? so sophie sent that to be sending us over the database to few mac or to colorado. co

it says what she will do, the testing tests out on the history lockheed open. that is, how much does she all talk to soon? good. and then joshua matches the model of the night is do you want to get the most of the song out of the song all wrong? so i'm be sure to be set on with the watch list of all these will load up will be sushi will recess. the said i need to, she works gotta be yeah, she's back because know yourself only the motion docs out around. we're going to, you should be ready. all right there. what about when you, when you the full major sees around the world? do you adapt how you perform? when you do add, take your act to different countries. all the these uh, parts of the or the offices that you boss actually a lot of this was done, but actually i also was abuse. tom. oh, i love to have that. well, who i love? who had the oakland? uh, well, i love you guys should be busted to sujata who is all heck down full feet. so is that full for the interview? is it not so for live interview? so sophie son died. we sent you a message over the database to vie

these are not as cheap as they once were and i own lockheed martin and that's been a great name for us, but it is not near as attractive from the point of view as it was five or six years ago. again, people have fled to it because it is viewed as being stable and right now stability looks good. >> still, i take your point that maybe in oil it's more of a headwind and in defense it's more of an entry point and maybe the evaluations, you'll see. you're watching the housing space for that although housing feels like rates are whipping around the way they are and we think there are companies that can cut through that and do well, and it's hard on the local front, isn't it? it's hard to do national deregulation of housing. >> yeah. i think we're getting a political consensus on the need to build more homes and we're getting a consensus that what stopped this from building homes is regulation. people point to the fact that houston has falling rents while california has very much rising rents, and so i think for the first time actually in my life time we're getting a consensus on that, and i

that it didn't work at lockheed or any number of ticket defense contractors, i did meet a pic when at an particular. pick any. i don't have any special interest in a particular system or any particular company or any particular narrative. i want to know t what works, i want to know what defeat our enemies, what keeps us safe, what deters them, d what keeps r in these up at night. whatever that is, more of it. and i want to invest in it. i know that's the view president trump sso. >> some have commented recently about the need to eliminate immediately a manned aircraft pics i was a maybe one day, that they is not now and certainly not prior to 24/7 especially in indo-pacific so if confirmed we commit to work with my office and this committee to ensure the proper mix of fighters, manned and unmanned? >> i look forward to working with you on that because unmanned will be a very important part of the way future wars are fought. just the idea survivability for human being tries cost and time in ways i minces and do not. i look forward to that conversation. >> thank you, senator budd. i now

you can see them listed mostly in the defense space, boeing, lockheed martin, raytheon, a few others. to these companies effective immediately of all companies that have dual civilian and military uses. all these developments underscoring rising tensions between the u.s. and china. all of that taking place before any tariffs have yet to take effect. guys? >> we appreciate it. thanks, megan. in washington. >> let's get the latest on terror attacks. they are terror attacks. nbc news jay gray joining us now. j? hey, brian, kelly, yeah the fbi saying this morning that they are 100% inspired by isis. that these were in fact terror attacks carried out by suspect. a lot unfolding in this investigation, the latest is the reopening of bourbon street. pedestrians after that terror attack that killed 14, wounded at least 35. the driver of the truck and gunmen at one point also died in a shootout with police. let's tell you what we've learned from investigators as they have updated the information they are providing for us. the suspect in this case, 42 years old, army veteran. apparently posted v

china has slapped 28 contractors on the export control list including boeing and lockheed martin.ans the trade of the dual-use goods will be banned and they have to apply for permission to ship the items. ten contractors have been placed on unreliable list over the u.s. arm sales to taiwan which china doesn't like. that means these companies will be banned from trade making new investment in china and executives will also be blocked from entering the country. the big question, of course, now is how much of an impact does this have on the defense business and whether it will affect commercial side now. in a separate move, china is now talking about expanding export restrictions on the use of batteries and critical use minerals. some expect this to help china on lithium, but also impact the expansion plans of the companies. aussie lithium miners fell in trade today and this could throw a span in the works. in singapore, sam vadas, cnbc business news. >>> to focus attention on the spanish economy, the december unemployment in spain is .98%. it leave 2.6 million people out of work. th

the trump administration adding more american companies to its control list and boeing defense and lockheed market. the president-elect saying he may have tariffs up to 60 percent from china. it got china to sit down and write a trade deal in his first adelphia ministration. >> bill: donald trump junior posted this on x from greenland a moment ago. here is the video. >> looks like the runway santa claus would land at. >> i thought there was more. i thought there was more audio than that. the caption read greenland coming in hot. really cold actually. president-elect trump posting on truth social a moment ago saying the reception in greenland has been great. this is a deal that must happen. maga, make greenland great again. greenland's leaders have repeatedly said it is not for sale. they have a prime minister. he said the territory is not for sale and never be for sale. i don't know. >> dana: never know. somebody comes and knocks on your door and says i want to buy your house. we'll see. >> bill: art on the wall. what are you willing to pay? >> dana: come over and ask me and i'll let you kn

as a result, that's why china yesterday took boeing, lockheed and raytheon and said we are not going any parts coming out of china on a dual use basis. and so i don't see a reason for either side to back off immediately. a lot of it depends on president trump. >> before we get on to trading, i want quickly, i don't want to leave this topic without talking taiwan very briefly. what do you expect to happen there, and is it a 2025 issue? is it a 2027 issue, which increasingly i'm hearing that that is where the real confrontation may come. >> if taiwan was invaded by china, tyler, i believe that that would set off a global catastrophe. i don't think that xi jinping is strong enough now with an economy growing between 4 and 5% to essentially shut down the economy to take taiwan. i do think he is determined that china will eventually take taiwan. now, whether it's '27 or '28, i don't know. but it's not 2046, which is the 100th animals of the ccp. i see it probably in the next couple years. >> thank you very much. let's move on to trading this topic and china stocks in particular. tim, your

the l, i guess the first l in mine is lockheed martin which is a beneficiary of increased defense spendingtalked a lot about energy and really just this supply demand constraint that's not going away anytime in the near future, one of the largest oil and gas producers. my b is baba, i think we share a letter this year. and this is just really looking abroad, at emerging markets. if you see any of this improvement in u.s. and china, this is a beneficiary you want to make sure you have as a piece of that. my a here is abercrombie, the only one that has not done so hot since the beginning of the year, had quite a selloff. this is a play in a tough retail space they have resonated with the younger consumer, and i think the younger consumer is going to continue to be strong, and this is a brand that you'll likely get to see that resonate with, and lastly here, we have louie vuitton, which i think you're going to see the luxury buying rebound. you have seen that with cartier's parent company. that's going to be a trend this year. global is my acronym now that thyme following the rules. >> yai, c

adding more american companies to its expost port -- export control list including boeing defense and lockheedying he might add 60% tariffs. and those tariffs forced china to sit down and make that phase one trade deal in the first trump administration. back to you. stuart: we remember. thank you very much, indeed. economist e.j. antoni joins me now. trudeau out. how do you see this tariff showdown with canada shaking out, e.j.? >> oh, city -- stu, i see it working out very well for the american people because we're going to have donald trump at the helm. anytime if he was negotiating on our behalf in the first trump administration, i think things worked out well for the american people. what he's about when it comes to international trade is getting the best deal possible for the american people because they are the ones he represents. look, it's not that he's out, you know, to hose the rest of the world here. it's not that he's out to do economic damage to places like canada, he's just trying the get the best deal possible he can for the american people, again, because that's who he represen

imagine having anything else other than to continue increase in defense spending and lockheed is a primarymicrosoft, they just announced they'll be spending $80 billion on building out ai. they're very real formidable competitor with co-buy lot and all have increasing dividends and last five years and increased dividends and solid companies and going to get poised higher than in 2025. >> tremendous skewing in the averages and companies that are $3 trillion in&more out there and while they have huge profit potential on the other hand there's a lot of opportunities in companies that have been basically overlooked. liz: kevin, great to have you once again. here comes the closing bell everybody. on the first friday of january. all 11 sectors on this continuing in the green. larry: hello, folks, welcome t

lockheed martin ifen reported, what have we got?iss and, frankly, not the best forecast going forward. some of their aeronautic sales were bolstered by increased revenue from the f-35, but they said there were still some delays in system of the tech snafus with that program. stuart: here's another can defense contractor, r rtx, formerly moan as raytheon. >> yeah. benefiting because aging aircraft, guess who services them? rtx. interesting though, they just came out and said that they're having future guy dance worries about one of their main customers, i think we can all read the tea leaves and think that might be boeing. but that's not impacting the stock. stuart: what has jetblue got to say for themselves today? >> they're losing less money, but nobody cares. the forecast going forward well below expectations. they're looking at unit revenue between a decline of one-half of 1% to up 3%. analysts wanted 4.8% in the positive, so you really seeing just a miss here across the board, and they are expecting to operate fewer flights than
