neil: so you hate donald trump? kennedy: no. neil: sounds like it.kennedy: acceptance and new jobs and manufacturing in this country.not be the future but it's the present and puts people back to work and gives them long-term paying jobs , i think that's fantastic. sprint, fiat are very smart. neil: you don't want to be tweeted about. kennedy: positively. neil: what do you make of all of this? >> it does not work, free markets work. the government should not be bossing people around. the whole idea of the republican president bossing people around, telling businesses to operate, adding change, extremely unfortunate. i agree, it will work for a while, it will work for a while but not work in the long run and free markets are called free markets for a reason. they don't have government interference and free markets are the way to go in america. neil: but not everyone has free markets. the way the world is constructed, we don't have free markets. >> if we can get goods, quality goods from china or taiwan, let's get them from there. retrain americans to

neil, it is yours. neil: i don't know that i buy, that stuart. did you find it interesting as soon as we got details on the republican plan on health care and go about dismantling it and replace it, they were not all on the same page and we're down already. i notice accelerating almost looks like keystone coppish. stuart: you're right. that kind of statement and development would push the market down. you're right. what is with the glasses, neil? neil: i don't know. [laughter]. what's with the accent? [laughter] stuart: good luck, sir. neil: group hug. thank you very much. we were following this. again as stuart says, we can't get a real handle what is leading to this selloff here. we do know that we have these triple confirmation hearings going on concurrently with ben carson, choice to be hud secretary and mike pompeo to head up cia and james mattis, department of defense. none of those seem imperilled including down the road, including rex tillerson. what seems to be imperilled is republican unity. i don't want to overstress this or hint it co

neil: well-put.enator, general, thank you for your service for this country, at a very scary time as well. good seeing you. happy new year. >> yeah. my best to you, thanks a lot. neil: all right, in the meantime we're getting word from speaker paul ryan's office, that he too now is joining the president-elect in this idea if you're going to replace or repeal obamacare, you should replace it at the same time. that was a position advanced by senator rand paul here just a couple of days ago. but that is a point now that seems to be widely echoed among republicans. if that is true. this effort to repeal obamacare immediately would be shelved, until they have replacement in hand in place so it would be immediate. republican senator john thune joins us right now. senator, thank you for your patience with all this going on. how do you feel about that, sir? >> well, look, the first step we have to repeal the old and got to replace it with the alternative. replacing it can happen on the day that we repeal it.

neil, it is yours. neil: thank you, stuart. we're up to 47 congressman not going to the trump inauguration. that is 10% of the house of representatives. we've never seen that amount. why don't you give people with large investments and give them those seats, doing more than the congressman oing out? that is conjecture. keep in mind with the 47 know-shows on friday, host of fortune 500 ceos and beyond who committed a lot of money to not only jobs in this country but expanded jobs and facilities in this country. gerri willis with all the details on that. hey, gerri. >> neil, we have breaking news here, boeing ceo just meeting with donald trump after trump criticized of course the cost of the next generation air force one which boeing was making and they talked about it. here is what dennis muilenburg had to say to the press. >> certifications -- [inaudible] >> provide a better airplane. similarly on fighters we were able to talk about options and capabilities, that will again provide the best capabilities for our warfighters most

neil: yeah. neil: actually you could sing at it.. >> i don't know that he is, but sure i could sing. neil: what does that matter if he doesn't? >> i know. all he has to do is show up. i ask you this -- all he has to do is show up. in regards to hollywood by the way, relax, everything is okay. this is a guy who is very, i don't want to use the word liberal but very, very marginal. he is not severe in his thinking. it will be okay. but back to the point of entertaining do you remember one act from any of the past innagurals except mr. sinatra at ronald reagan's? neil: used to be know acts. i covered lincoln's. there were no acts. on this, we're learning -- >> you got fired. neil: donald trump, jack very evancho album sales skyrocketed after inauguration announcement. some people don't understand the movement. bottom line, why should he care? >> right. neil: it would be more attention getter if he did have a lot of entertainers there because that is just not him. >> i said it before. on twitter, he is great. get the people. neil: you'r

"your world" with neil cavuto starts right now. >> neil: all right. despite a heap of controversy and criticism, president obama in his final news conference standing by the decision to commute chelsea manning's preson sentence. take a look. >> chelsea manning has served a tough prison sentence. i felt that in light of all of the circumstances that commuting her sentence was entirely appropriate. >> neil: all right. many in the military community say that's not the case. that manning was behind the same type of intelligence leaks that were very big issues to democrats pointing out the election results didn't matter then suddenly matter now. suddenly don't matter now. the confusion is rampant. brett bauer, author of "three days in january" and that tossing of a baton and so many other ways of one administration and another. and brett, what do you make of what the president is saying about this? it's done, but how do you think he characterized it, she suffered enough? >> it's interesting to hear the president defend that considering his own defense secr

neil, it is yours. neil: stuart, thank you very much. we're following intriguing developments at trump tower. not more appointments or name, who will settle the veterans issue, who runs the department, look here, mitch mcconnell, wrapping up powwow with the president-elect and health care issue came up. >> president-elect and i had a good meeting about the senate agenda, which includes confirming cabinet appointments, betting further down the road toward repealing and replacing obamacare. we simply talked about the senate agenda and our ready to get going once he gets down there. >> will you pursue the process without going through vetting, financial records? >> everybody will be properly vetted as they have been in the past. i'm hoping we get up to six or seven, particularly national security team in place on day one. neil: the vetting process senate leader is referring, consider some of the democrats, argue they are rushing to the confirmation table so quickly, they haven't gotten their financial disclosure forms out or done, or any co

neil? neil: all right.o the trump tower where we just saw martin luther king iii, the youngest son of martin luther king, arrive. this comes at a time that a number of democratic congressmen are protesting the trump inauguration on friday by not going led by john lewis. of course, this could prove an important powwow here to try to mend fences between the african-american community on this mlk day. we'll see how far that goes, but the two have a rapport with each other, that is donald trump and martin luther king iii, and have done much together in the past. we'll see what happens here. a lot more. you are watching fox business. about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or

neil? >> neil: thanks. doug has been outstanding.there. we've had senator joe manchin joining us, west virginia democratic senator. senator, much is made of this back and forth among democrats and republicans and particularly coming live and well in these confirmation hearings. the two sides are far apart just like in the barack obama years and will continue ad nauseam. do you think that will be the case? what happens to the days of reaching a cross the aisle on both houses, i guess? what do you think is going to be -- the environment will be like in this trump administration to come? >> neil, i think things will settle down. i hope so. i'm working as hard as i can to start remember why we're here. who sent us here and for what purpose they sent us here. that's what we have to get back to, the business of the people of this great country of ours and the states we represent. west virginia sent me here to work with this president, president-elect trump. that's who was legitimately elected as our president and do everything we can do ke

neil cavuto ready and willing to take it away. neil. neil: thank you, my friend. we're following developments at trump to you are but washington, d.c. that was a close one in the senate 51-4to start the process of unraveling obamacare. -- 48. number of advantages republicans have in that body dissipate when you consider there are a number of republican congressman who are up for cabinet positions or being considered for them in administration roles. so you could maybe remove anywhere from three to five of them in this count. bottom line, in a body which they have 24-194 edge, the battle for repealing obama care, starts with repealing obama care, even though some members, this started with rand paul on a this very show, the kentucky senator said, hey i'm on page with that i think we should get rid of obamacare. what i don't like the way we're going about it with this budget mechanism this, resolution at least in senator paul's case would add trillions to the debt. president-elect donald trump agreed with that. seemed to be siding with senator paul. now seems just t

"your world" with neil cavuto starts now. >> neil: three days of this. they goof off and the market sells off again. today allow me to connect. you decide. let's just say you won't be happy. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. this is "your world." a confused and nervous business world because of what is going on in the political world. don't believe me. believe folks betting money on it and apparently sick of it. and you know why they're sick of it? because it is getting in the way of some of the real things that they want like tax reform, regulatory reform, jobs, growth and hope and a country moving. here's the thing. it's not happening. stocks are stumbling because these guys are fumbling in childish ways. let's give you an example. democrats boycotting confirmation hearing from president trump's treasury and health and human secretaries. senate rules if there's not a single member there, there can be no hearing. there can be no confirmation. so steve mnuchin and tom price, hurry up and wait. the same day that we learned that democrats are already planning to o

"your world" with neil cavuto starts right now. >> neil: the last man to walk on the moon is dead. welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. gene cernan at the tender age of 82 has left this world. the last man to walk so far away from this world, something he was surprised at, 45 years after the fact, that no man had come back of any country persuasion. the last man on the moon became a documentary heralded by hollywood, but that didn't matter to him. what mattered to gene cernan in frequent conversations is that we not forget what we did in space. what we did. a little more than a month after the passing of john glenn, the first man to orbit the earth and heralded in a movie that is very weak, the most popular movie in america the second week running, reminders of a time we dreamed of bigger things and greater things. gene cernan, again, the last man to walk on that surface, a look back with jon scott. >> you can let your imagination wander, put yourself out there 250,000 miles in space on god's front porch. that's what it was like looking back at the earth. it is a spiritual experien

neil? neil: blake burman, thank you very much.r joe manchin among others in the democratic party, they will do their best to work with republicans. what are your democratic colleagues think of you deciding to meet with him rather than the president? >> well, you know, i just reached out. being bipartisan. the president could have reached out. and i'm sure republicans could have reached out to the president whether they met with him or not i can't answer that. i did what i thought i was supposed to do, basically start building relationships and bringing america together, not letting democrats and republicans stay apart. i told him my job is to find eight, 10 or 12 moderate democrats that will work with republicans trying to find a pathway forward. neil: all right. that is a democratic senator who thinks it's time that both sides come to agreement on this we talked to connecticut democratic congressman who is also in the camp, says i'm willing to work with republicans. of course the proof is in the so-called pudding, right? getting

"your world" with neil cavuto starts right now. >> neil: welcome. it's an unusual meeting at the white house. the president of the united states with union leaders that gave him a round of applause for putting a halt to the trans pacific partnership trade deal. the same cancellation or at least executive order cancellation that had john mccain worried. if this strikes you as upside-down world, welcome to the administration of donald j. trump. he's rattling establishment washington and people are taking note. by the way, not only of the new sheriff in town, but the new representative of the sheriff in town when it comes to the face for the press. i'm talking about sean spicer, i'm talking about his first full white house briefing, and to show how unusual it was, he threw his first question to this next guy. now we're going to get to that question. first, the guy for us, daniel. welcome. good to have you. >> thanks for having me. great to be here. >> neil: first off, did you expect that? did you know that was come something. >> you always hope. i was

here is neil cavuto. neil: welcome, everybody.hen he started for the presidency nobody gave him a chance. he took out the contenders, cream of the gop crop, took down the bush dynasty and took down the hillary clinton an clinton dynasty. donald trump coming up to capitol hill, little more than 40 men's away from becoming the 45th president of the united states. that oath will be administered in 47 minutes. his vice-presidential choice, mike pence will technically be over him for a while, in terms of the status of the job, if you will. sworn in as vice president ten minutes ahead of the president-elect. so for a while maybe some bragging rights briefly, to have higher position before of course donald trump is sworn in. and as stuart was pointing out, looking at the who's-who crowd assembling there, hillary clinton in the role of the former first lady, coming with her husband bill clinton. all the former presidents are there going back to jimmy carter who was inaugurated 40 years ago this day. if you look at history of sitting there

>> neil: no.it strike you as odd that he raises questions about them and -- >> no, no, he should raise questions. the story has been all over the place in the past couple days. then we found out a day later it was disinformation. >> neil: return on that? >> this entire thing from the beginning of trump getting in, he's says what story he wants one day and changes it the next. >> neil: so does the left. >> the left has done that for years. >> he needs to hear the briefings, listen to the intelligence community. my biggest priority is keeping the country safe. >> neil: i'd like to see the intelligence agencies -- >> i hope -- we should all get on the same page. that's our priority. keeping us safe. >> neil: group hug. thanks very much, a week from today, donald trump will be living and working in the white house. the question is, will he have a cabinet with him there? [vo] quickbooks introduces rodney. he has a new business teaching lessons. rodney wanted to know how his business was doing... ...so

neil: he did. do you guys think, though, how we meet to another leader, corporate let's go, go, go, that's getting everyone on your same page whether they are able to get on it or not, right? >> charles: true but that doesn't necessarily mean they are on the same page as you and maybe i think it's a cue to the reporters also. let's forget the questions that are designed to trap me, let's forget -- neil: that's what reporters do. charles: i know. the new marching orderers, if they want them to be effective, it's going to be short. neil: what about these two, to ben's point, i'm going to try to put it more nicely than he did that could it be a maggie thatcher or ronald reagan, different times, different folks, different ways of handling it? >> they have different issues. she was against brexit, he's for it. remember, thatcher, regan made the relationship great is there were four basic issues confronting communism. neil: he started out as a democrat. >> he was a right-wing democrat. but i think, you k

neil. neil: all right. thank you, peter. peter barns.he way, on this very same issue, the united automobile worker is out with a statement saying that it opposes discrimination of any kind and denounces any policy the judge's people based on the religion or nation of origin. but is that really what's going on here? muslim reform movement cofounder? what do you think of that? a lot of people interpreted this at its core as i guess essentially racist. what do you make of that? >> well, it's the new executive order has been completely misrepresented, and it's being exploited. and what i'm concerned about asn american, as a muslim is that it's being used to stoke fear in people. it's being used to stoke an anti-american and antiwest sentiment throughout the world and, for me, i see this as a soft propaganda campaign that's going to effectively turn people against america. it's being used for the sake of partisan, political interest by the same people who lost the election in 2016. and this idea of #muslimban is nothing less than having a res

neil: something going on with the dow? >> stuart: yes, sir. neil: a lot going on here. stuart i think is right when it comes to algorithms something set in stone, once we get close, sell orders kick in or something kicks in. right now 20 of dow 30 stocks are up right now. energy stocks not going along for the ride. that is a separate story. buoyed by employment report, kind of like sort of a perfect goldilocks report. not too strong, not too weak. continue wages of a respectable year for jobs growth. averaging 180,000 jobs per month. continuing trend wall street seems to interpreting as kind of bets of all words. nothing too, too inflationary here. something that won't dramatically change the federal reserve's move to increase three times this year, possibly more. they seem to be okay with this so far. about 43 plus points away from 20,000. get read on the mood and what is going on the floor of the new york stock exchange with nicole petallides. hey, nicole. >> neil, traders are watching resistance on s&p 500, a level we butted up against on s&p 500. broke through that.

neil? neil: peter, thank you very, very, much. again the cost of this is anywhere from 8 to $14 billion. a lot of those funds were presumably preallocated. the clear impression with mexico they're not going to be forking over any of those funds. we have our first sort of diplomatic cross, and that's probably putting it mildly. former arizona republican senator jon kyl with us on the dust-up at a the border. what do you make of it, senator? this is not shocking this is going to be the big issue with our countries. one country, mexico, not paying for it and the meeting's off. what do you think? >> this is not exactly breaking news. president pena is having problems back home. his poll numbers are very, very low. you would expect the president of mexico to say something like the clip you just paid. donald trump is noisy about building the wall and having the president of mexico pay for it. the president of mexico can not stand by and let that stand to his constituency. it is good news the meeting is off. diplomats on both sides of th

neil: henry kissinger. let you know donald trump is now, i think i might have misquoted, intercontinental, he is at his own hotel in washington, d.c. wonder how they got the lunch reservation. he is there with his wife and all his kids and mike pence. he is there with the chief of staff and everything kicks off tomorrow. with me my buddy charlie gasparino, looking at all of this. something dr. kissinger, charlie, the difference could be his strength, that that could be very refreshing. >> yeah. the world were, markets were used to one way for so long, it didn't do much good economically for us, maltierly or just in -- militarily just in terms of america's stature in the world it doesn't work very well. our stature has gone down in the world. this is wild card. neil: someone says in the defense budget if i see waste, i will go after it, right? >> one thing where sort of the wild card gets a little crazy, and you made the point about the new sheriff in town, there is some good reports about that we're doing r

neil?eter, obviously people will seize on that as a sign, is the trump administration then setting itself up to complain about funding the u.n. or even leave the u.n., if a vote comes up which we might disagree. reporter: she, none of the senators were asking about leaving the u.n. all together, despite all the criticism that we've heard. she wants to try to work on reforms. there has been no discussion about us leaving the u.n., at least at this hearing. neil: but holding out the possibility that the funding, which we're responsible by and large, 24%, whatever figure she used, that could be held out as a stick, if we don't get a carrot? >> right. that has been effective in the past, when u.s. wanted reforms in unesco, education body, u.s. got reforms by refusing to provide funding in that instance. neil: peter barnes, thank you, very, very much. reporter: you bet. neil: senato continue questioning. four differe confirmations going on but not just nikki haley, tom price, health and human se

neil cavuto is next. >> neil: all right. is this the market's way of saying president trump, we have a problem here. neil cavuto here. the stocks suffering their first decline in weeks. and not so much the issue of the travel ban, there's a lot of different angles on that, but more to the point, whether it gets in the way of the president doing something that wall street wants to see it do. cut taxes, cut regulations. today with stocks getting drilled, even when the president was out lining his plans with members of his national economic council and small business representatives, fox business's black berman at the white house. is this the disruption that surprises? >> as you know, major tax reform was a major hallmark of the trump presidency. investors appeared cautious today that that could take place, the reform, in 2017. so at the white house press briefing, i asked sean spicer point blank, can the administration commit to a major tax overhaul this calendar year? here's his response. >> shepard: we're going to continue t

. >> neil: count them. more than 50 democratic congressmen and women are not going to the inauguration saying that donald trump is an illegitimate president. but he's striking very legitimate deals with some of corporate america. more than 5,000 jobs at general motors. 10,000 at walmart. 3,000 at behr. and the pow-wow with the ceo of boeing a day or two after he met with ceo of lockheed-martin after pushing jobs and cutting costs. we go to trump tower with the latest. >> mr. trump taking time to meet with the ceo of boeing. the two of them have talked in the past about bringing down the costs of the new air force one. we're told they talked about that again. touched on the general climate as well for american business. watch. >> i think mr. trump is doing a great job engaging business. we're all on the same page here. we want the best capability for our country, we want to generate jobs in the u.s. >> that's the theme, generate jobs. on twitter, the president-elect said thank you to general motors and walma

neil? neil: gerri, thank you very, very much, gerri willis.ng into or out of this country and you're not moving? >>> all right. nancy pelosi is expected to formally introduce speaker paul ryan. again these are some rituals both parties enjoy and sometimes they get a little bit sort of mechanized here. they're part of our iconic american civil and right now both parties passing the olive branch to each other. in this case, nancy pelosi to paul ryan who say she doesn't agree with on virtually anything. more after this. neil: all right. the heft of your screen, we're waiting to hear from speaker paul ryan, as expected, witness again put in -- once again put in charge of things on the house floor. joe biden does the swearing in, that is the vice president's role, so a lot of the political tension eases up today, but the battle lines are drawn, and each party is ready to do just that. we've got ashley webster now in for trish regan. sir? ashley: i'm going to swear myself in for the 2 p.m. slot here, neil. neil: excellent. ashley: thank you very muc

neil? neil: what is interesting, in all the picks that you said, given their birthdates all of that, if they get a conservative, they want that conservative there for a long, long time, don't they? reporter: that is one thing. i mean in this case, age certainly does matter for some folks. you get them in there, potentially somebody in the early 50s like all three of these folks are, you could potentially have them for several decades after that. as for neil goresuch, he is 49 and surgeons 50 this month. could potentially be a big month for him. neil: i think so. blake burman. take a peek at the dow, up 143 points. financial issues leading the way. does help to have goldman, jpmorgan, travelers, likes of them all leading this charge, bank of america, all these financial issues that will be benefiting no matter which way rates go. the fact this should be a boom for consumers, they would buy more, invest more, bank more, well, wall street is seeing green more. after this. liberty mutual stood

neil. neil: all right, you obviously have been hearing a lot about a right to life protest going on at a rally, to overturn roe v. wade, that might be easier than done. vice president of the united states spokespersonly to the group the as i mentioned earlier we have never seen a high-ranking official as this address the right to lifers this comes a week after the million woman march in the same city. just a quiz for you, what do you think will get more coverage? think will get more coverage? after this. >> consider susan b. anthony. well, i feel pretty smart. well, we're all about educating people on options strategies. well, don't worry, i won't let this accomplishment go to my head. i'm still the same old gary. wait, you forgot your french dictionary. oh, mucho gracias. get help on options trading with thinkorswim, only at td ameritrade. .. >> 44 years ago our supreme court turned away from the first of these timeless ideals but today, three generations hence, because of all of you and t

neil. neil: thank you very much, nicole. we mentioned off this this pacific parter inship order and president says he doesn't want any part of it. ever since the language in the president's address, in his inaugural address, japanese stocks, foreign markets concerned fallen the most on fears that he will walk away from any trade deal that might benefit asia, more particularly in this case, japan. so that market was feeling the pinch. china not so much. china was falling well ahead of this. it might be a bounceback for that market. we have former bush 43 spokesperson, mercedes schlapp, democratic strategist, chris at this setzer. let's get right to it, guys. mercedes, you first. this should not be a big surprise or fox alert for anybody who was paying attention to donald trump and what he wanted to do. he is now fulfilling that. the question can he carry through on it beyond executive orders and get congress to go withim, what do you think? >> the executive orders are first place to start. no surprise on the tpp, signing of t

thanks, congressman. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: all right.emember that time an iranian vessel fired on an american ship and captured american soldiers? they tried another provocative act only this time we responded very differently. that's after this. i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, n

neil? >> neil: all right. thanks very much. so how will america make good on telling the mexicans to pay for that wall? because i've heard so very nasty words south of the border. whether they're in spanish or not, that i cannot repeat. ust sy on my car insurance by switching to geico. i should take a closer look at geico... you know, geico can help you save money on your homeowners insurance too? great! geico can help insure our mountain chalet! how long have we been sawing this log? um, one hundred and fourteen years. man i thought my arm would be a lot more jacked by now. i'm not even sure this is real wood. there's no butter in this churn. do my tris look okay? take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more. >> we'll be reimbursed by mexico. >> so they will pay us back? >> 100%, yes. it will be reimbursed from a later date from whatever transaction we make from mexico. >> neil: the mexicans in a variety of ways say that's not happening. former republican governor of arizona, jan brewer with us right now. g

neil: why is that called fascism? >> well, when government starts directing businesses what to do. >> i didn't use that word. neil: i did. >> when government plays a heavy hand in directing the economy, that's a form of fascism. neil: soprano preference. >> sorry. it's called mafia. neil: there you go. >> but my point is the ford guy said, you know, he said we're staying because of donald trump and his policies. you know, the obama administration, the liberals don't want to accept that. i mean, donald's policies, taxes and regulation is why -- neil: you're going to have to start going the president-elect policies. >> i'm sorry. i keep doing that. but donald elect. neil: close. [laughter] the. >> the new twitter has been effective so far. neil: but you think it's going to wear out. >> well, donald has to make it more of a attractive place to stay. neil: but hasn't he been -- >> because he's going to have to do that and he's going to need the republicans to work with them. it has got to become -- mexico has so many more

"your world" with neil cavuto starts right now. >> neil: thanks very much. welcome to "your world." we're at the pentagon. james mattis has already been sworn in as defense secretary of the united states but the president wanted to do the honors and see this carried out in a big way with the big boss there to witness it. so when that happens, we're there. meantime, to blake burman on a very busy white house at what has been a very busy week. blake? >> certainly you can call it that, neil. we expect the president at some point this hour to sign a few more executive orders. one deals with a major campaign promise, that being extreme vetting. that spawned off the president's initial muslim ban but formed into that extreme vetting terms. while the details of this have yet to be officially released by the white house, we expect this to deal with how visas are issued, who is get them, the process for that. especially talking about the focus of countries in and around the middle east. there are also expected to be a couple more executive orders signed there as well. we are told they will d

neil? >> neil: thanks, blake. i want to go to dan patrick, the lieutenant governor from texas. joining us out of houston, i believe. governor, good to have you. what do you think of the fast-moving development,ly what% tax to pay for this wall on goods coming into this country from mexico? >> first of all, neil, the world better get used to donald trump as president. he's a business man. he's bold. this is what america elected him to do. was to get our country back in order and to create jobs and improve our economy. make us the leader in the world again. quite frankly, neil, as you know, many of us believe the last eight years we've been walker under obama. so in this particular instan instance -- and this news just broke. and theresa may seem like she's fits in. but england is the third largest trading partner. mexico needs us and they're very good for america. we have about a 58 to $60 billion deficit. this is the first foray. this is the way trump will conduct business. he's going to be strong and bold and first and he's going to put the other side on defense. >> shepard: a

very good to have you. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: what do you think of this? that was an unexpected development for the vice president. >> i think that was a great surprise. both that it was surprise, and that the vice president who said, i don't deserve this, does richly deserve it. after 44 years of elected service to the people of delaware in this country, i think joe biden has been a tremendous public servant. and do i think as you said, neil, that president obama and vice president biden have had a tremendous, close, and productive relationship. joe biden has been an effective voice on behalf of america's middle class and fought for the recover rift auto industry and manufacturing. i'm excited to see his next chapter in public service. >> neil: this might be a next chapter to your point, senator. he would be, what, 74, a little older, four years from now if he chose to run. could you see him doing that? >> i do never count out joe biden i was referring to he's going to be based at the university of delaware, doing things in our state and our country and a

and still 50 points short. >> neil: thank you, shepherd. i am neil cuva to. and rex tillerson getting a lot of heated questions. he seems to handle himself well for a guy who is never been a politician. he has been a guest on politicians when they have grilled the big oil ceo's. i want to update you on the dow situation and how the donald trump sent the markets in a whirl wind on the first press. he tlo threw cold water on the drug industry. earlier in the day, at l-- 11:2 pharmaceutical will companies were getting away with murder in what they charge the government for medicine and pricing of drugs in general. some believe he will police or control or reregulate the drug industry. be that as it was. it was a big slide for drug related issues. several had prominent role in the dew. merck and ph yser and johnson and johnson. itty rebounded when it was much ado about nothing. it is a reminder that the president-elect cast no aspersions over the industry. he's targeted defense contractors and automanufacturers and his message is the same. i will police you aggre

neil? >> neil: thank you. former defense attorney jeg jarrett on what he makes of this. gregg jarrett, he didn't express much remorse for this. but even when a death penalty is handed down, it can take some time. >> yes, it can. this is pretty quick. dylann roof himself pounded the nail in his own coffin, he was model of ineptitude when he delivered a stilted five-minute closing argument in front have the jury, offering no remorse which might have ban mitigating factor. instead there were myriad of ak ra vating factors that -- aggravating factors, pre-medcation. it was especially cruel and heinous and atrocious. there were multiple killings. all of those are aggravating factors. nobody called to the witness stand, expert for example, who could have argued a mitigating factor like a psychiatric expert who could have said, well, he suffers from, you know, a mental disease or defect. he's not insane. but he has a diminished capacity. somebody else who says he has, you know, intellectual deficiencies. those would be minute gating factors. nobody called to the witness stand,

you know me, neil. the bottom line is, i have 172,000 west virginiians that have healthcare now that didn't have it. i have many seniors getting care know through the doughnut hole, people on the exchange. we have to find a pathway forward and pay for it. there shouldn't be winners and losers. i shouldn't have small business people like i am that are basically paying double, sometimes 30, 40, 50% or more and trying to offset the cost on the other end. there's got to be a way to fix that. the president-elect said he doesn't want to do away with pre-existing conditions. he doesn't want to do away with the 26-year-old or the caps. so those things, if we agree on that, don't you think we can sit down and find out how we can preserve the good parts, get rid of the bad or repair them to the point they're more acceptable? that's all i'm trying to do. i'm not going to say people trying to kill people or make people sick. that's not me. >> that's pretty crude marketing pitch, is it not? >> both sides. i'm not go

neil. neil: all right. kristen, i look forward to going back to you. in front of the white house, the north area, the northern part of the white house and the south the motorcade just departed. so the president and his family are now on route to that cathedral. it's about a ten-minute drive. when you're the president of the united states, one of the immediate benefits is you don't have to deal with traffic. what's at stake for this service and its timing after such a heated election year that will play out again in washington today because as this service is going on, some protest going on, a million-woman march, we'll get into that in just a second. but it got a little agitated yesterday. that's probably an understatement. acted institute president father robert joining us. father, this is a tough time and a divided time for this country. we saw it play out, the inauguration yesterday. this ritual -- i think it's a good one where presidents of either party meet and gather with all religious stripes. how important is it to you now and what type of mess

neil: all right.are seconds away from hearing from the president of the united states in his final address to the american people in the place that started it all and gave him his push onto the public spectrum here. barack obama. >> ladies and gentlemen, the 44th president of the united states, barack obama. [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] neil: all right. barack obama addressing many in this crowd, by the way, we're told are some of the same ones who were with him about eight years ago, some ten years ago when he first announced he was interested in running for the presidency of the united states. of course, his wife and daughters are there, the vice president, joe biden, his wife there. they chose this venue because he wanted to get outside of washington and make a statement about the small town guy who made it big even though chicago's hardly a small town. in the case of barack obama, it launched a career that changed american history. many critics will say they don't like the kind

neil, it is yours, sir. neil: thank you very, very much. before we get issue at hand in security briefing what we have to look at what is selling off and everything has to do with everybody acting like babies! can you believe this. prominent democrats, saying whipping about obstruction they did that to us. don't they remember how they treated merrick garland, barack obama's choice for the supreme court. tit-for-tat. get over with it. deal with it. republicans saying this is very different. my point whether you're on the right or left. whether you're republican or democrat, this is not getting anything done. and this obestin nance is why why the markets are worried about anything ever getting done. a lot of that has to do with people communicating with each other, which seems to be alien concept intraand interparty. we'll get the latest from dhs secretary john kelly, many said was left out of the decision-making process on the travel ban, whatever you want to call it. he will clarify how his department will handle that. that it is not nearly

neil: yes.ive me a sense of how that works from the investment point of view. neil: we think sterling is undervalued. we think inflation is likely to overshoot rather than undershoot. the bank of england is the wrong way around. quantitatively easing --guy: sterling and inflation? neil: yes. what we are seeing right now with retail sales last week, the weakest sterling is feeding to the higher prices. we may find food starts to rise. you and i will find we have less money in our pockets. thinking he doesn't need as many of us and doesn't have to pay us as much. guy: minutes away from the markets open. a few interesting stock stories out there. we may see a bit of merger activity. home brokers -- homebuilders along speculation could be to stocks on the move. i can barely see the bonnet on the drive on the way in. that is what london looks like. transparent start to the working week. eight minutes until the market opens. this is bloombeg. guy: minutes away from the market open. five minutes, but s

neil: all right, jeff. recent president who said good-bye at a venue kind of like this was george h.w. bush who said his good-byes at west point. his son famously in the east room in the waning days of the financial meltdown, and that was a low-key affair even though the address was spun toç the natio. jimmy carter, bill clinton, ronald reagan all speaking from either the oval office or the east room of the white house. kennedy is with us right now, we've got lou dobbs with us as well. lou, a lot of expectations here that barack obama -- who's personally very popular even though his legacy and his policies were the ones that helped elect donald trump -- he's in a bit of a weird position here tonight, isn't he? >> no, i think you're right, neil. there is something so dissonant about the evening as we are in, now, the trump era, and suddenly we're hearing from president obama saying farewell. you know, neil, i think what the problem is, i don't think any of us can accept the idea that barack obama -- still a
