With all the changes the company is making and reaction, lets go to grady trimble. Reporter boeings stock performed quite well under the you now former ceo Dennis Mullen bettemuilenburg but its handlif the 737 max crisis that ended up doing him in. The top of the to do list for the new ceo will be getting the grounded 737 max planes back into the air. They announced they were halting production of the plane while they work to get it recertified critics say the company was too cozy with regulators when getting the plane to market and after the two crashes the critics say the company wasnt transparent enough about the role it might have played in the crashes. The company says the new ceo will bring a renewed commitment to transparency and better communication in the hopes of he restoring confidence. Boeings stock enjoyed a bump yesterday but it shaved 641 points off dow back in march. Calhoon has been on the board of directors since 2009. He spent 26 years with general electric, working with aircraft engines and transportation so hes no traininger to this industry. Lauren and tracee. Tracee shares of boeing up 3 yesterday, up now the premarket this morning forget christmas, the left is acting like its impeachment season. House democrat hinting they will try to impeach the president again. Mark meredith is in the Nations Capital with the new court filing on possible new art tells of impeachment. Reporter the idea of another impeachment is sure of to raise a lot of eyebrows. On monday lawyers for the House Judiciary Committee filed a brief in federal court arguing they need to hear testimony from don mcgahn. The white house long refused to let him testify and lawyers for the house argue that if mcgahns testimony produces new evidence supporting the conclusion that President Trump committed Impeachable Offense thats are not covered by the articles approved by the house the committee will proceed accordingly including if necessary considering whether or not to recommend new articles of impeachment. A court date is set for early january. The fight over what comes next for the senate and impeachment continues this morning. Democrats say they will also continue to put the pressure on Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell to allow witnesses to testify in a Senate Impeachment trial. Its called a speedy and fair trial. Thats just what we want. Its hard to imagine a trial not having documents and witnesses. If it doesnt have documents and witnesses, its going to seem to most of the American People that it is a sham trial, a show trial, not to get at the facts. Reporter Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell argued it was up to the house, not the senate, to investigate and for him this is a political process. Hes blasting nancy pelosi over her decision to delay sending the impeachment articles of to the senate. Mcconnell said on monday on fox news, he has not ruled out allowing additional witnesses to be called. However, a final decision has yet to be reached. Back to you guys in new york. Lauren the optics on all of this is that democrats dont look like theyre taking it seriously after all of that. Mark, thank you very much. 2020 president ial hopefuls are taking on big tech. Hillary vaughn has details for us. Hillary, good morning. Reporter good morning, lauren and tracee. Some democrats running for president have trash talked big tech. That is not costing them Campaign Cash because workers at some of the largest tech firms in Silicon Valley are donating millions to candidates that are calling out their own tech bosses on the campaign trail. Mark zuckerberg gets to have a private dinner with the president. Small Business Owners dont get that kind of access. That company, amazon, did not pay one nickel in federal income tax. That is called a corrupt political system. Reporter employees and packs associated with facebook, google, amazon and apple have given over 5. 3 million to candidates this Campaign Season and they overwhelmingly went to democrats. Alphabet gave 2. 6 million in Campaign Cash, 83 went to Democratic Candidates. Apples workers responsible for nearly 600,000 in donations, handed over a whopping 95 of that to democrats. Facebook shelling out 69 of their total donationses to Democratic Candidates and amazon spent 75 of their dollars on Democratic Candidates, over 1. 3 million this cycle. While candidates like senator Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have been known to demonize big tech on the campaign trail, theyre still raking in the most cash from california where a lot of people outside of Silicon Valley work in the tech sector. Elizabeth warren with the most and sanders in second. Lauren and tracee. Tracee thanks, hillary. Well, the security and Exchange Commission is looking under the hood of bmw. The wall street journal says the sec is investigating whether the company manipulated sales figures in the u. S. Sources say regulators want to know if bmw did something known as sales punching, where they increase sales by having dealers registering cars as sold when no sales have occurred. Bmw said they are cooperating with the investigation. Lauren in september Fiat Chrysler paid 40 million to the sec for a similar investigation. Sears is selling its die hard line of batteries to advanced auto parts, the deal worth about 200 million. It a allows sears to keep selling the line of products in their stores. It cant, however, make any more auto related die hard products. This is the latest attempt from sears to sell off assets. In 2017 they sold the right to craftsman tools to Stanley Black and decker. Tracee the 13yearold charged in the deadly tappin stabbing oa majors appears in court. Attorneys claim the teen was questioned by police without a parent or a lawyer present and the officer who interviewed him isnt a credible witness because hes accused of falsifying evidence in the past. Meantime, police are searching for a 14yearold who is considered a person of interest. Lauren a win for ride sharing companieses in new york, a state judge ruled in favor of uber and lyft.

Lauren our big stor store tod, boeing. The stock soaring 3 yesterday after announcing David Calhoon will replace Dennis Mullenberg. Its unbelievable, on the eve of a holiday, boeing announces leadership change and the stock market and a investors were excited about it. But for a lot of people, myself included, maybe you too, i dont think bringing in this guy, David Calhoon who is a veteran of the company, been on the board for a decade really changes any of the culture at gloang they had to make a choice between bringing in somebody who would clearly be a fresh outside voice and somebody who on one hand has the institutional knowledge, wouldnt have a big learning curve, that is calhoon, but somebody who on the other hand cant claim to be the new blood coming into the company. Had this is somebody who up until recently was loudly defending denni dennis muilenbu, said he had confidence in him. A tradeoff there. Couldnt you new at this, continuity, yes. But in terms of convincing people its a new day, well see. What was the nail in the coffin for mulcoffin for muleen. There were problems beyond the commercial aircraft division. But in the end, i think the plan up until a week ago was to try to get him through the recertification of the aircraft and then he would say, hey, my job is done, lets pass the torch. Once that was not imminent and you didnt know when the end was in sight, he was more of a distraction, more of part of the problem than the solution. Lauren does the same go for calhoon . Hes 62 years old, i believe. Do you think he tries to get the 737 max flying again and then they look for a replacement for him . Good question, whether hes sort of more of what you would call a caretaker ceo, that could indeed be the case. Boeing has a mandatory retirement age of 65. So unless they change that, yeah, by definition, hes not going to be there for a decade or anything like that. So, yeah, he could also be a transitional figure here, at least hopefully get the focus back on what really matters, keeping people safe and not on just misstep after misstep for the company here since the crash. Lauren youre an aviation journalist, you know the ins and outs of all of this. For the average flier, for the traveling public, at what point if ever are they comfortable with boeing, with that plane specifically and with just Overall Trust of the company. Theyre also dealing with the star liner, the rocket that went into the wrong orbit. These are a series of missteps by the company. Yeah, lauren, when youre a company like boeing, its a problem whenever the public is thinking about you. Boeing is not really a consumer brand. Boeings costers percent are Airlines Customers are airlines, not the public. If the public is thinking about what kind of airplane its getting on, thats a problem for boeing. The history is people eventually move on from crisis. Unchartered territory, weve never had a crisis crag on like this one drag on like this one, soon it will be a year since the second crash, since the grounding, with no end in sight. Lauren the second contractor, mash eighth of this year, the stock was at 422 that day, now its hovering around 337. So obviously this is a loss of market cap, a loss of shareholder money and a loss of reputation. And how boeing recovers is anybodys guess. But you nailed it. You said its not just passengers that need to trust the company, its also regulators and suppliers. Because boeing is a major company. This has had ripple effects throughout the entire u. S. Economy, if you could speak to that. Supply chain, boeing is the top you could picture a food chain with hundreds of companies that when boeing suspends production boeing could say were not going to lay off anybody for now but all kinds of other companies that arent in the same position of a boeing that when they stop producing parts of those planes, they have no choice because they dont have the same staying power. Boeing is the biggest exporter for this country in terms of what this country sends abroad these days, its boeing airplanes more than anything else so billions of dollars of impact throughout the economy. Lauren thanks for the time this morning. Happy holidays to you. To you too. Thanks. Tracee boeing a stock well be watching today. Right now, lets take a look at how your money is moving on this Christmas Eve morning. Futures are pointing higher, dow futures up by 17, s p 500 up by 1 and three quarters, nasdaq futures up by 4. Its a shortened trading day today. We could be kicking off a stan take clause rally today which would last the last five days of december and first two of january. Twitter taking steps to protect users from trolls but this time were talking about users with a medical condition. Keep it here on fbn a. M. Last christmas i gave you my heart. The very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears. Ill give it to someone special. Tracee more selfdriving cars are coming to california streets, just shrie just like td them. Joining us now, brett larson. The streets of california, if they arent crowded enough with cars in general and cyclists in those lame scooters that everybody likes lauren tell us how you really feel. The state has approved light duty delivery vehicles. So not necessarily like the waymo Driverless Cars weve seen in tests, these will be things like delivery vans under 10,000 pounds. This will be kind of interesting. This is right in amazons backyard where they can literally california is in their backyard because amazon is in sat l hell. This will allow them to use sought mated delivery trucks. Youve seen this in science fiction. In black mirror, you may remember the pizza delivery cars where you go in front of your building and punch in and get your pizza out. These are the things well start seeing on the streets of california. A couple years ago they had issues with uber as googles Driverless Cars. They didnt have the proper licenses for theyll and they were driving them around without them and that was of course causing problems. Interesting in this case, with the light duty vehicles, theyre not necessarily going to require a driver be onboard. These are fully autonomous cars. A lot of instances, like the Driverless Cars in arizona, you need an operator onboard. Lauren its scary, especially if youre a real driver in a car near a driverless car. Or if youre a pedestrian. Lauren and then theres tracee jump out of the way. Who am i making eye contact with. Lauren i dont know who is worse, the pedestrian not looking at the car, looking at their phone, or if the two meet each other, well have a problem. Well probably need to have transponders on our devices so a beacon is sent out, saying im here. Lauren twitter is preventing some image files. This is a horrible story. Last week we heard the epilepsy foundations twitter account was flooded with animated png files in an effort to trigger photo sensitive epileptic seizures. Terrible. Lauren thats awful. There was a hacker group that did this, sending out thousands of tweets in an effort to do this. Its happened in the past where someone sent an animated tweet to someone who did suffer from photo sensitive epilepsy and they did have a seizure. Now twilter is saying animated png files dont follow the rules of auto play. If you suffer from photo sensitive epilepsy, you can set it so it doesnt play. The png files dont Pay Attention to that. Twitter support noted the animated images that were sent to people and so theyre going to make it a better experience for everybody, theyre going to have to block these things. You know, people are terrible and they do terrible things and they find loopholes in technology to carry out their ridiculous attacks. So im happy to see twitter not only stepping up to this but doing it very quickly. We reported on the animated png files a few days ago. So they got on this very quickly. Lauren all right. Tracee hard to track where these are coming from. Exactly. Thats the problem with social media. You can say youre in the United States or eve wherever you wanto say youre from,s thats not necessarily the case. Tracee you can catch brett on fox News Headlines 24 7, sirius xm channel 115. Lauren yesterday, volume was very low, 23 below the one month average. So what youre seeing is a meltup on the shortened trading day. Any higher close will be a record close for the dow. Dow up 17, s p up about 2 points this morning, nasdaq up 3 andahalf. Havent seen a winning streak like this since 1998 for the nasdaq.

Meantime, joe biden says he wants to focus on voters rights if he is elected. Joining me now to discuss this is president of Freedom Works and republican strategist adam branden and the executive director of the pluralism project, hasma kahn. I want to start with you, hasma. Democratic donors on wall street said they might sit this out, they might back President Trump if Elizabeth Warren is the democratic nominee because of her stance on big banks and corporations and the wealth tax. Were not seeing this of course as an official endorsement from president obama but does he see warren as having a chance at being the nominee since he is making this push or is it more just about getting a democrat elected . Be still my fluterring heart. To be honest with you, i think the president is making sure that we have a democratic nominee who is fully backed by democratic donors and by the elites of our party and a i think thats exactly what he should be doing. I think that whoever the nominee will be, Elizabeth Warren will be backing that person and so will be the majority of our democratic supporters for all these past campaigns. Traceecam. Tracee adam, your r. I saw Elizabeth Warren is launching a campaign saying her campaign will be 100 backed by small dollar grass roots. This is slightly hypocrite call if shes calling in her friends to get the big donors out to support her campaign. Tracee tell me about lets talk about biden, hes vowing to make Voter Protection a foundation of his administration. He touted his early years in the Senate Working on extending and strengthening the voting rights. Is he trying to say that our Voter Protection laws are not Strong Enough here . They arent Strong Enough to be honest with you. I think thats exactly what hes saying. Hes also looking ahead to South Carolina where its a very important state when it comes to African American and minority voters who have been excluded from the political process in our country. I think hes doing exactly what needs to be done to win an important Political Base for the upcoming ply marry and to protect primary and to protect americas freedom. Tracee what do you sunshine. Sunshinethe majority of votese cast before the election and were getting further away from clear set rules. That means more elections will be settled by lawyers. The one thing i agree with biden on, we should have paper ballot backups. Im concerned about some of these systems and vulnerabilities. I would rather see us move towards a system where we vote on election day and you have to show some form of id when you show up to vote. Tracee lets talk about mike bloomberg, how hes throwing wilmillions of dollars into a secretive tech firm he founded months ago. Hes calling the business hawk fish. He founded it during the spring. It will be the primary Digital Agency and Technology Services provider for the campaign. Adam, is this a secret weapon or is this just bloomberg using his money as an advantage as many have said he has been doing as hes running for the white house. I believe Michael Bloomberg spent over 100 million when he ran for mayor of new york. He clearly has the resources to do what he wants electorally. Politics is all about getting to know your voters and the best way to do that is through the digital space. Campaigns we think of as yard signs, it is absolutely a technological war these days and so bloombergs looking for any advantage he can find. Tracee final word on that. I cant disagree with anything i heard. I think bloomberg is trying to build as strong a president as he can online to make up the fact that he doesnt have as large of a base when it comes to voters because people outside of new york dont really know him at all. Tracee thank you for joining me this morning. Merry christmas, happy holidays. Merry christmas, happy holidays. Lauren one church in Southern California shows its better to give than to receive this christmas season. The Christian Assembly church collected more than 5 million and they used it to pay off medical debt, more than 5500 struggling families in the loss an hlosangeles area will benefim the gift. Worshipers raised 50,000 over the past year, unaware of what it cass going towards was going towards. The churchs pastor said the purchased the debt for only a penny on the dollar. Tracee ive been to this church and theyve always been big in the community, doing things for others, as we see from that story. Lauren what a story. Merry Christmas Eve, everybody. Lets show you your holiday markets. We have a santa claus rally on our hands. We should see new highs today, stocks pushing into further record territory. Thats a big change from last year when the market just about slipped into bear market territory. What a difference a year makes. Well discuss on the other side. California dreaming. On such a winters day. Stopped into a church. I passed along the way. Scientist at 3m. I wanted them to know that innovation is not just about that one aha moment. Science is a process. It takes time, dedication. Its a journey. Were constantly asking ourselves, how can we do things better and better . what we make has to work. We strive to protect you. At 3m, were in pursuit of solutions that make peoples lives better. Lauren stocks continue their record run in the finalled trading days of 2019. Weve got five left. It was a much different story one year ago. Rewind, when the s p 500 nearly fell into bear market territory at this point in 2018, jim russo is the chief investment strategist at at altrius capitl management. Whats the difference between now and december 2018 . The fed. Its clearly the fed. Last year we had the fed raising Interest Rates and tone deaf, powell coming out saying were on auto pilot. Quickly reversed himself in january and started communicating much better, saying that theyll be data dependent and started decreasing rates throughout the year, fixing the mistake they made. Lauren so many investors are looking for an entry point. When can you get into this market thats sitting at record highs . Whats your answer to them. Theres a lot of stocks undervalued right now. The broader market, were a little pricey. A few stocks, the fang stocks, take out facebook and amazon, netflix and google and the markets not overvalued. And so thats the really thats the change we have. So much is proliferation going on, passive investing, index investing, big getting bigger and big money pushing in. If you take out those few stocks, the market is not overvalued. Lauren would you buy fang in 2020. Google has 39 straight quarters where Revenue Growth topped 20 . Can they keep doing this with this regulatory oversight. I dont think so. I think have you to avoid those stocks. Growth has outperformed for a decade. You have to be smart about it and look at the overval United Nations thats going on. I overvaluation thats going on. I havent seen this since the tech bubble of 2000. Lauren with the nasdaq up eight trading days in a road, record highs, the longest streak since 1998. Whats the difference between now and when the bubble burst. Its a little higher compared to back then. You can find terrific values out there if youre willing to buy the names people dont want to buy right now. If you stay away from the ones that continue to go higher which everybody wants to jump on, wall street generally follows momentum. I think its going to be safer for your portfolio when the next correction comes which we could see in the next year. Lauren vanguard says theres a 50 chance of a correction in 2020. I mean, okay, 50 , its like thats not really saying much with those odds. Its just that things feel very tope. Yo toppy. You have the electiog in 2020. Im going to put the olympics in there. The olympics is an opportunity for ad dollars, media, et cetera. The trade war too. You throw these things in there. Weve had a lot of corrections this year. We had three significant pullbacks. Thats why you want to stay invested. Although its difficult to deal when you go through the corrections. This year i think Going Forward we certainly could have the market correct but youve got to hang in there and collect your dividends while you wait. Lauren jim russo, thank you very much. We do appreciate it. Tracee, over to you. Merry christmas. Tracee lets take a look t how your money is moving this Christmas Eve morning. Taking a look at futures, you can see them moving slightly higher, dow futures up by 17, s p futures up by 2, nasdaq futures up by 5 and a quarter.

Joining me now is carol stobb, an associate broker at douglas elman real estate. I want to ask you, how would you describe 2019 . There was a lot of focus on the salt tax. Interest rates were favorable. What stuck out to you as kind of driving the market that we saw in 2019 . In 2019 we had a number of markets, we cant really put the markets all together. There were markets that belonged to the nonhigh tax states and there were markets that belonged to the other states, the markets in the high tax states saw a decline in the number of sales due to the implementation of the salt tax. The other states saw very good number of sales and, however, the sales could have been higher. However, there is a housing shortage going on, especially in the mid the starter to midrange market. Tracee thats a big market for millennials looking to get starter homes. What do you see for 2020 . Wow. 2020 is going to be the year of the millennial market. Theyre going to really be driving the market and a lot of them are leaving urban centers and theyre going to hipsturbia. What theyre trying to do is the rental prices in the large your n baurban centers have incd become almost to the point of being unaffordable. Back in a new york mood. Back in a ne new york mood.

I was confused when i saw this. Im going to have to say. Im not sure which way. Its one of those things, weve seen it from time to time, especially on the internet. A couple years ago, the big thing was what colors is the dress, is it white or gold. Theres a new video out there. The question is, what way is this person swinging. Now, i think hes swinging towards us. Right . You would think that hes swinging towards us. But if you go on twitter, theres all these different explanations saying hes actually swinging towards the building. I think theres no way. Theres no way that he could be doing that. But they have all these different graphics saying that its the position of the camera that hes actually swinging towards the building. What do you think. Tracee what about this . Could there possibly be two people on that swing. Back to back type thing. Tracee ones maybe a little smaller. What were thinking are arms could be another set of legs. Could be.
