Join us as washtington examiner sora westwood. How dyer is the campaign for jeb bush . We could look at his low poll numbers, but he keeps pushing on. I guess the question is why. Reporter jeb bush hopes to compete in New Hampshire above all. That is why we see him doubling down on his staff. Interestingly why you didnt see him in New Hampshire even though he did cancel a bit once in iowa and south carolina. He left New Hampshire attack, kind of like at the boat is sinking, would you throw overboard in what you keep to keep the boat afloat. The last claim to any kind of it are a jeb bush had was his fundraising pirates. If he emerges from the last quarter with the low fun reading all and having to cancel out to afford staffers here that is going to look back because what does he have left after the money . Dagen do we have any indication of what the fundraising will be like . Carsons Team Announced from the 3 million in the fourth quarter. Concerns there have been look at all the totals in the days and weeks to come. Concerns there about his burn rate. Ted cruz 20 million in the fourth quarter, which was almost double what he had dirty taken in in the year so far. Any indication about bushs fundraising . Reporter no, Campaign Staffers has remained quiet. If you have a great front racing you are excited announce a big ben carson and ted cruz have announced it before the quarters even close. Jeb bushs Campaign Team have said they will be competitive this quarter but they havent said how much they raise. Its not expected to be a whole lot. It is not very. What are you picking up from the fundraisers in behind the the scenes of the Bush Campaign . So far they protect themselves is behind their guy in the time is coming. Are they getting nervous and pressuring him a lot . Well, they are certainly one of the biggest red flags is probably what Jeb Bush Super pac right to rise has done. At one point had 100 million in the bank. Its been about half of that was very little to show for that. If i do give these big dinner to campaign, what am i going to see for it . You see where jeb bush is set to make his final stand in New Hampshire. That establishment so to speak is crowded. Hes going up against Chris Christie, john kasich and they all have a pretty similar share of the vote if he doesnt do well its hard to see where he picks up momentum moving forward something happen at a speech yesterday that donald trump did that perfectly captured why hes so successful on the campaign trail. This is how trump took on the president bush on climate change. Listen to this. You cant use hairspray because hairspray is going to affect the other thing.

That whether you are on the treadmill or watching it right now is very appealing. It is relatable. How can you not relate to that and be drawn to it. We saw this from the start. He felt at the stadium with 40,000 people in mississippi or alabama. It is easy to relate to the guy. People want to use. They want strength and security and they feel he can provide hope because its coming into debates and you can see how he is disliked in everything and hes got his resolve.

In the meantime the president joins Jerry Seinfeld on his lips areas, comedians in cars getting coffee writing around the south london and 63 corvette stingray. Doing some driving and sitting down to talk about another thing in the cafeteria. The staff cafeteria at the white house. Take a listen. Are they really smart, are they mostly had strong agenda laden . When you deal with congress, it varies. There are some folks that are foolish, just like in comedy. Well, everyone in comedy is foolish. Dagen i havent watched the whole thing, but i do want to watch it actually. He was on the bare burros show. He did between two firms a while ago with Zach Allison Mack is. This is what well see next to the president. Is he going to do some sort of comedy tour. Is he a comedienne now . We talk about trump in the reality television, but we should remember this president definitely had his own media strategy to avoid the mainstream and do lots of things that himself. Dagen this is my own pot theory. I think that he wants or could host his own television show. I think he is building towards that. If trump when the white house, you would have the reality tv is dark as commanderinchief. You are hitting the nail on the head. Theres been two things he has done all year and that his campaign or be on tv. He is entertainer in chief and thats all he has. Thats exactly what is he doing on here. Throughout the last four years, ever since he last congress to the republicans. He really doesnt care about it. Hes not that funny. When you are trying to be funny and you are not funny, that is true. What is interesting and ironic as you got this guy riding around in a stingray. Youve got 94 million americans who dont have a job, 46 million ounces cans and Hillary Clinton say he doesnt get the credit he deserves. At the end of the day that the problem. The reputational disconnect is one thing. Representing yourself alongside Jerry Seinfeld at this juncture in this economy looks really bad. Particularly given his reputation as a great communicator rate speechmaker. He certainly has its moments. He doesnt do the mainstream speech very much. The speech on terror was rare in the oval office. He doesnt like to do that. He goes for these niche moments speaking to certain parts of his base, certain parts of the crowd, but he leaves big boys in communicating policies. Its very strange. You are right. I think keith brings up a great point. Its a great use of taxpayer dollars, specially with what is happening right now. Dagen you are the leader of the republican and democrat country. What message are you sending them the economy stinks to high heaven, people are struggling to pay bills and you are writing around with one of the richest comedienne at her. Anyway, well get some more clips for you. I still want to watch it. Coming up, a wild year for stocks there will 2016 be even crazier . We will take a look. We live in a pick and choose world. Choose, choose, choose. But at bedtime . Why settle for this . Enter sleep number, and the lowest prices of the season. Sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. Good to great to wow only at a sleep number store, find the lowest prices of the season. Save 600 on the 1 rated i8 bed, plus no interest until january 2018. Know better sleep with sleep number. Dagen good morning, and Dagen Mcdowell and for maria bartiroma. It is december 31st.

To the campaign trail donald trump stepping up his attacks on bill and Hillary Clinton, trump talkedabout styling his hair and his need for hair spray. More on that throughout the morning and uber hitting a mile zone, its 1 billion food writer, that lucky customer securing free rides for a year cannoli year . Give him a ride for a lifetime. Or a billion years . Dagen the driver scored expectations list last trading day of 2015. That still recap of where we stand, the dow on track to have its first down year since 2008 at the height of the financial collapse, fifth out of the 10 best in the sectors negative for 2015. Keith can break down internal sun a lot of sectors with Consumer Discretionary that great. Energy among the worst performing and if nothing changes today energy will see its first annual backtoback losses since 2002. As far as stocks go the big winner for tech names, netflix, activevision and others are big top five performance, you conceive and there. Oil prices dragging down many in a genes, chesapeake energy, counsel, southwest and more were the worst performing stocks in the s p this year. With next years outlook kind of like to bring in senior u. S. Economist laura rosin air. Theyre predicting a recession. At the new year. Dagen that is how we started off. Wendy you call a recession next year . Starting to now. We are not looking for a sunny outlook in 2016 but we think it will be good enough for the fed to let least to continue gradually raising Interest Rates. We are talking about moderate growth, a little more moderate consumption growth but still an expansion. Dagen where will that grows come from . The consumer. Were cme tight healthy labor market. It is not necessarily as healthy as the seen in past expansion but it is decent and we have come a long way. People are seeing robust income. Look at the last three jobs numbers. Is averaging out 210,000 jobs and increasing amounts. A lot of jobs coming into the construction sector and healthcare. Everyone has been worried and we will talk later about oil but losing those jobs going into the construction space which is good for the consumer. Dagen the fact the Federal Reserve has started raising Interest Rates, it is that enough to call a recession . That is why you are negative. It clearly is. From a profit perspective we are in a recession. In this respect of were recession. Is not hard to call recession in components of the u. S. Economy. If you break it down and go down to the rate of change and after that it goes to bat and that is a question. We are acknowledging the same. When you see we will have a little bit of a slowdown i could say that slowdown will happen fast for slow. Generally what happens is these moves are called non later and they tend to surprise people. We havent had one in a long time. We expect it challenging year for corporate profits but not so much because the fed is raising Interest Rates but more because we have external challenges. Global growth is slow and the dollar is strong. The labor market dagen it will get stronger because of what the fed is doing. It is part and parcel of what is happening. It is more the growth outlook. 100 basis points of interestrate hikes should not change the world. You feel good about wages . I think banking on that, you are seeing that. Sure. On a real basis wage growth islam to. 5 . If you look at past expansion on a real basis we actually havent seen wage growth exceed 2. 5 many times. A lot of that has come from falling prices and that effect is going to go away which is why we expect Less Consumer spending next year but you are right, wage growth, more robust pickup in wage growth certainly wet and confidence to our outlook. Are you got on the consumer or not so good . We are looking for moderate growth, not the 3 we saw in the last two quarters, the 3 and above we saw in the last expansion that was really aided by a a big expansion in credit, building Housing Market. We are not seeing those trends. Every quarter, First Quarter of the year tends to be slow and disappointing on the gdp side. What do you see especially in the slow Global Growth environment with 2 , but back to when you are seeing, we are services economy, those numbers are great. Talk about the First Quarter and what will happen . We will see Something Different this year. We are going to see a really weak we seem to have an inventory overhang right now within a bump and we can see a better performance in bcu 1 because we are not seeing the crazy disruptive whether that really in some areas of the country broadly speaking the last two winters have been massively destructive. Dagen unless it continues what we are seeing in the midwest. Happy new year. And oil, we talk about that in 2015 on the downside for the second year in a row. Last time that happened was 9798. Gas prices for our way a lull. Suvs billing. Tell me why mobil oil is bad. If you look at the stock market this year being down is reflective of a slower global economy. The year of missed opportunities. I look at this as a double dip because if you look at the first part of the Year Oil Prices were recovering, things were doing good. By the fourth of july the price of oil was up to 63 a barrel, europe was expanding, bouncing back from recession, things were good but then you have 3 events the change the world, greece leaving the euro zone created a recession in europe and china and iran oil back on the market. Dagen i was just sitting here thinking because it has been a two part year and when oil started rallying, you can jump in here, people were betting on crude coming back but that is one thing that hurt a lot of hedge fund managers, and they were every which way. What typically happens when an Economic Cycle hits its top, what we went through with identifying what happened, the consumer peaked at 3. 3 growth. The economy peaked 78 months into u. S. Economic expansion, the demand signal started to fall, inflation became deflationary, corporate profits went negative. This is above the most pedestrian and obvious flowing we have seen a long time so now as we go through a a lot of what happened with a lot of Money Managers is they said i have value back, i was born on this earth to study what value this stock is and what they had wrong was the oil prices. If you tom your going to buy stock on these cash flows and based on 70 oil libel you are wrong because it is a lot lower. There pegging oil at 50 a barrel for next year and you saw that in the last Earnings Report that a lot of companies are picking that for next year and what is interesting is everyone is like why does will keep going down. Weiner supplies at . They need the cash, the to keep selling to a market place to raise capital to pay their interests. Dagen i look at this all like what you have seen in the selloff in parts of the highyield bond market, like the housing bubble bursting where people were betting on a hard asset, made being high, but changing the highlevel and you start seeing everything and wind. Something has got to give and what it will be you dont know. Will a saudis finally blink and change their policy. A lot of investment the second half of the year, not sure how long it took to watch through the industry but you will have to feel that affect. Dont Forget Oil Prices and Strong Demand environment can go down between 83 and 89 trish average price of oil was below 27 are a lot paneras out there. The reality is the narrative, the economy, profits are slowing. After that people get fired and spend less. The demand side of oil will be negative one. Supply, if im looking for some things get better is going to be supplied. Dagen see you next hour. You can jump in on that. Phil flynn. Good to see you. Up next, serious allegations from women, more than 50 women and now many have to finally face the consequences. Criminal charges against bill cosby next. Dagen horrifying moments on an air canada flight. Cheryl casone has that story and others. Cheryl 21 people were injured in a flight from shanghai to toronto.

Louisville creameries, an investigation by department of justice, focusing on listeria contamination of icecream linked to three deaths. Government lawyers want to find out what Company Executives knew about the problem and how they responded to it.

One clemson against number 4 oklahoma in the capital 1 orange bowl. Michigan state taking on alabama in the good year, amble. This move inshore the rose bowl and the sugar bowl will stay on new years day because god forbid we dont get to watching a football as we go into 2016. Totally agree, it throws off my party. Dagen you going to take them . Thank you. A bombshell for bill cosby. The actor and comedian charge on allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004. Here are the details. Reporter looking beleaguered and wearied bill cosby would not speak with reporters as he walked into court with his attorney in elkins park, now charged with aggravated indecent assault in a 2004 incident at his nearby home. Charges to they are filed as a result of new information obtained inert july of 2015. Statute of limitations in this case is 12 years. Do you want to say anything reporter the 78yearold bill cosby is charged with the assault on a former Temple University director of operations for Womens Basketball. She contends she was an appropriately touched during one encounter at bill cosbys home, drugged and sexually assaulted in another instance. The evidence shows bill cosbys established a relationship with vote victim after meeting her through her Work Associated with Temple University Womens Basketball program. Reporter the charges a bill cosby give the victim three blue pills and wine, she called robbery and like jelly, she said her vision became blurry, she said bill cosby fondled her from behind, put his hands in her hands and sexually assaulted her. Bill cosby told the police the encounters were consensual that he never had sexual intercourse with a victim, quote, asleep or awake. Did you drug that women . When you look at the case, there are a number of aspects that are undisputed. Reporter dozens of women have come forward over the years to accuse bill cosby of drugging and molesting them. This is the first time bill cosby has faced criminal charges which he faces a preliminary hearing in mid january. His lawyer says bill cosby is prepared to vigorously defend himself. Do you want to say anything . Dagen thank you so much, dave. Joining me now to breakdown the case is National Law Journal contributor Kent Zimmerman. How hard is this case going to be for the prosecutor to win with lack of forensic evidence . This is the burden of proof on the prosecutor. Always does. It will come down very likely to to the jurors in the case fine as more credible. Is it going to be bill cosby or the accuser is . Bill cosbys credibility going into this case has some big cracks in it. The biggest of which is what gave rise to these charges, the deposition in a civil suit almost ten years back in which bill cosby admitted multiple times he gave drugs to women with whom he wanted to have sex. That strike going into the case makes him look not particularly credible. That will help the prosecution a lot. The defense on their side will try to pick apart the accuser, figure out if they can paint her as someone in it for the money. Dagen she already got a settlement. Hard to argue that. She did get a settlement. She could be in it for a number of reasons. They will also say why was she reaching out to bill cosby in the first place, look at her background, her morals, that is the playbook criminal Defense Attorneys bring to the table. Dagen part of the prosecutions case hinges on being able to introduce the stories of other women who accused bill cosby of us all. What are the chances of those being presented at trial . Montgomery county d. A. s office has already said other women should contact that office if they have claims against bill cosby. That indicates they are interested in hearing from those people. How tough would be to get the testimony in . That is hard to tell. Bill cosbys attorney will fight to keep it out. Related to these charges is the chance that that testimony could come in the entire apostle other women, 50 or more have said they have similar cases against him and have made similar allegations so entirely possible that could come in. Dagen thanks for joining us, happy new year, Kent Zimmerman from chicago, new year, new beginning. Why cant that apply to your workplace . Companies like into the new year, we look at ways they can create better culture and happier, more productive employees in 2016. Front stabbing. We will talk about that . What is it . You will find out. Dave had not just average people making resolutions, Companies Taking a look at corporate culture, making big jamess on how they treat and retain employees. Help the employees find higher purpose in their everyday work, and publishing a report on how they did it. Bruce is the vice chair of hiring and communications, joins us with much more. Good to see you, at the new year. What is it you guys do. We have found the most important trends in the workplace today is still retaining, attracting and motivating top talent to do their best work. Dagen how do you do it . We have pound having good pay, good benefits, good career enhancement is very important, but a really untapped assets is employees drive and interest in having more meaning and purpose in their work. So we have initiated a variety of efforts to try to help them breathe frame and elevate the meaning of their work with great results. Dagen what about these posters we see on screen. Is this part of the campaign . That was a way we wanted to get our employees involved in telling their own stories about their purpose at work. What distinguished our efforts from a lot of others where people are focused just on getting employees to memorize a slogan about the official corporate purpose we asked employees to tell us about their own purpose at work and we did it by we challenge them to tell us 10,000 stories about their meaning at work. Point i want to point to a fabulous wall street journal article. I predict it will be one of the most read stories in the journal today, nice is a four letter word, companies are endorsing and pushing blunt direct criticism called front standing in said backstabbing. Suck it up, i will tell you what youre doing wrong, you dont like it, go work somewhere else. The first time i have heard that. Dagen that is how i was raised. Suck it up, you are lucky to have a job and take a paycheck and go to work. We are in favor of giving people constructive feedback at the time and moment they are performing their work, but i think one doesnt have to necessarily be insulting or front stabbing people to give them that. Maria since this book called extreme ownership or extreme leadership. Dagen two former navy seals. Maybe it is a little more polite but they are saying look, i am leader of the team, take responsibility in the results but use the people on the team also have to empower your selves as being significant and contributing things that matter. These think that is the millennial thing or just a modern day thing . I dont think it is just the millennial thing. I think people want to take responsibility for their work. I think they are open to feed back. We probably need to train people a little more to recognize when they are getting feedback even when it is not in a formal situation but people think millennials i that much different than the rest of the work force. We found in the work we did with higher purpose that the millennials and our Older Workers were equally interested in the purpose. Dagen good to see you, happy new year, thanks, take care. And i promise to get met marys reaction to that article because an anecdote in the article i want to talk about, cheryl standard, some advice she gives to a former google executive these new controversies and shocking advice from the campaign trail, president obama comes even closer to being a reality star, comedian.

It is already 2016 in new zealand, last hour we saw the fireworks celebration and cities around the world are on alert ahead of new years celebrations. Lets talk about what is happening in new york city, roughly 1 Million People will ring in the new year in times square. To they are i dont know. Who wants to do that . There will be 6,000 Police Officers in the area protecting those people celebrating. In brussels traditional new years fireworks celebrations cancelled due to terrorist threats in that country and moments ago we learned several people have been detained in connection to the tower plots in belgium. Also is this more and officials in brussels the rest in a tent suspect in last months terror attack in paris. The latest out of the midwest where the death toll from historic flooding is now at least 21 people dead. The Mississippi River likely to see a record crest later today. Turning to the markets on the final trading day of the year, a full day in the United States, we have paul regains across the board. If the dow wants an end in the green it will need a lot more than that, moving 219 points. The s and p barely up for the year, nasdaq at 7 . Checking oil prices this morning down 30 , down about 0. 01 a barrel, what is to come in the new year . We will discuss. Bill cosby free on 1 million bond after facing his first criminal charges related to Sexual Assault allegations. The latest on that case coming day. The friend of one of the San Bernardino shooters has been indicted and accused of conspiring to support terrorists and chair a hot topic on the campaign trail. Also attacks on bill and Hillary Clinton, more of that from donald trump also talking about styling his hair and what type of hair spray he likes and he links that to climate change. More on that. Uber hitting a major milestone, 1 billionrise, but the customer securing free rides for a year. The driver scoring a vacation. President obama might be on the president ial ride the remains on screen for many americans, the president making an appearance and Jerry Seinfeld, getting coffee. Dont you think every american child the days you grow up loving the president. I do really well with the zero to a demographic partly because i think my ears are big so i look into like a cartoon character. Dagen on the campaign trail there is more, donald trump from somebody wants to the tv star to one who is and wants to be the president , donald trump got a little vocal while explaining to iowa voters why he is on top of the national polls. The economy, i get 55 but we know that. Illegal immigration, almost 50 . Isis, who is number one with handling isis . Trump. 46 . Think of it. Because they know i dont mess around, they know politicians are all talk, no action. It is all dagen he can say that if your donald trump but not on live television. The Democratic Front runner Hillary Clinton facing scrutiny over her husbands paid speeches around the globe. Another terrific story in the journal today, the journal reporting the former president was paid 8 million by of Foreign Governments around the same time period where those government class had pressing matters before Hillary Clintons state department. Lets bring in john hart, editorinchief of opportunities and former Communications Director for senator tom coburn. Another controversy for hillary, terrific reporting by the wall street journal but will it have any impact on her poll numbers . I dont think so in the short term. It was a great story, they did the job reporting on that but the fact is hillary has made bill an issue in the campaign and he will meet his own campaign bus to carry the baggage he already has. This will add more baggage to that and what it shows is theres a double standard in clintonsworld and it is a conflict of interest and they think the rules dont apply to them. They will different people to different standard than they do themselves but in the long run what is going to move numbers is going to be handling the economy and the fact that the president s policies havent worked at Hillary Clinton ones to continue those policies. Is donald trump the best person to go after the clintons on those kinds of things. He defended bill clinton in 98 during the impeachment and is playing his own donations to politicians and questionable things. Is he a good messenger if you want to take that attack line . Donald trump has a Bright Future in television. I dont think he is the ideal messenger really because he is not a consistent conservative. In all seriousness you have a very deep bench on the republican side this year and donald trump is one of the least qualified people to get at the core issue and the core issue is people are angry and upset because they have a material challenges in their own daily lives, not doing well financially. Dagen those at the very people, people, registered democrats, people who live in midwestern states who feel disaffected, they feel cut off, they feel they have been ignored by everyone in politics, those of the very people who are supporting him, tweeting about him and going to get out and vote for him even in primaries. I dont know that that will be true. On the air the stage we see from that lead dissipate so i wrote a piece a couple weeks ago called donald trump is about to get fired and everything i predicted is coming to pass which is in iowa his losses lead to ted cruz coming in New Hampshire his lead is dissipating. The fact is it is new years eve, people making their plans for tonight. They are not making political plans but they will in a few days. As people tune into the race you will see more and more of a shift away from donald trump towards these other candidates who are well qualified to be president , marco rubio,. Ted cruz, Chris Christie, a lot of mothers much more capable of delivering the message to Hillary Clinton that her policies dont work. Dagen people are going to tune in to jeb bush . Why now . Why would they tune in now . Look at Rick Santorum in 2008. Rick santorum at this stage in the race was an non factor. He was in los singledigit and won the Iowa Caucuses so bullish i argue is a better candidate than Rick Santorum. If he could serve why not jeb bush . Rick santorum surged in iowa and maine at named their but bush is pulling out of iowa, complete the retreating. Trying to stake everything on New Hampshires where Chris Christie is taking his campaign. How will he separate himself from the hat, he is so established and an relatable, how will he do that . I am not arguing bush is going to win. The point i am making is if you look at how these raises play out in the final two weeks we are entering the stage of complete turmoil when there are big shifts in momentum. We have been talking about this race in the media for months but only 30 of normal voters have tuned in so now we are at this stage where it is getting really serious, i am arguing anybody could surge at this point, the race is wide open. It is more likely to see ted cruz or marco rubio than bullish, but if i am bullish i am thinking if Rick Santorum can have a good run why cant i . Anybody can certainly trump will surge in hair spray sales, Paul Mitchells wild ginger that is currently the best finishing sprang out there sponsored by that to augment his campaign but at the end of the day hideous thing should be the man of the people . Who will be somebody who speaks to the 94 Million People who dont have jobs, 46 Million People on food stamps, the real economic matter donald trump obviously doesnt live in his daily life . Great question. We have to talk about the real problem and the problem is american inequality is the growing gap between rising costs and stagnant wages so when you look across the economy whether it is health care, education, food prices or housing, you prices rising more than income, you have to communicate to peoples anxiety and say we understand aires Economic Growth and the person who is able to capture that best in aspirational terms in specific terms and to argue the American Dream still works is going to be the next president. Could be any number of our candidates capable of delivering that message of the dagen and stated his fire the bombs in office and protect me from terror and that is why trump is ahead. Thank you so much, happy new year. More on the other historic flooding across the midwest, five states declaring states of emergency, the Mississippi River rising to near historic levels. Here is an update on the wild weather. Reporter unfortunately we are not done with this flooding just yet. The rain falling event has ended but we are continuing to see rivers rise, the missouri river, illinois, ohio river and we will watch these crests work their way downstream into the upcoming weekend and next week, first week of 2016. Heavy rain this morning central and southern georgia, florida panhandle, some areas, one could see as much as two inches of rainfall. In the northeast looking at dry conditions, looking at new years eve festivities, celebrations, conditions looking great, the dry weather relatively light wind, temperatures in many locations, new york city, philadelphia, washington, 35, looks chilly but midnight new years eve is pretty good.

These sanctions would forbid u. S. Or foreign nationals conducting business with black listed firms as well as any assets the companies or individuals hold inside the American Financial system. We are following bill cosby, he is free after being arraigned on a felony assault charge relating from a sexual encounter with a woman 12 years ago. He posted 10 of his 1 million bail in cash. He told the judge he understood the charges against him, he has surrendered his passport to the prosecutor, and was ordered not to make contact with the alleged victim. Talk about multitasking.

Hope everything is ok in your work place. Dagen you know y . Maybe i am not the nicest person sometimes banned brutally honest and blunt so i appreciate this and i think it introduces better employees and i see in general the work place young people being called to the point, your bosses are not or parents, we wont tell you are wonderful actor you work here three weeks. You are not getting a raise. If you get rewarded and praised if you do the work and do good work. The hardest thing for most bosses is to get the balance right. Theyre too night sometimes and then blow up and can be explosive in a shocking way. Getting the method right to give critical feedback people need to hear, be honest and blunt, not sure if we need to come up with dagen french stabbing is my new phrase of 2016. Cheryl an article in the journal, low performance, stalled projects, resentment and these companies are saying they want this in place in the workplace because of business, they are not performing because of coddled 25yearolds who think they should get a 25,000 raise. Theres not a participation trophy in the greenroom when i get off today. Dagen if you say or do something we really dont like we will tell you about it. It gets down to leadership. If you dont have strong leadership that supports objective criticism you will lose because then people washing at each other for their own benefit. A lot of things along with this. People have to know what is expected, measure the expected and be told when they are doing well and not doing well. A lot of confusion, what do you want from me, how am i supposed to perform, a lot of people are uncomfortable having this conversation. The bottom 20 off. Dagen a Famous Hedge Fund manager who notoriously will walk into a Trading Floor and say everybody, you are fired. Let me point out there is an anecdote from kim scott who worked at google who said when cheryl standard who is now at facebook took her aside and told her to stop saying um because she sounded an intelligent, that is valuable if you want to move up. That kind of criticism is hard to hear but it gets you very far. She said it since 1991 probably. Dagen you are one of the nicest people in the building, just throwing that out.

This goes back to College Football timing. That is the reason it is hard for the packs to get a Heisman Trophy winner because the games are on so late so 44 the Denver Broncos, he was back to Peyton Manning and doing well, that is why it is hard to watch these games when you dont see that happen during the year.

With me kevin kelley, Keith Mccullough. Your top stories at 7 29 eastern time. Already 2016 in new zealand. Earlier this morning we saw the fireworks celebrations and in about 30 minutes we will see sydney, australia bringing in the new year. Just a few hours away from the new years celebrations starting in new york city in particular. Major cities around the world are taking great precautions ahead of those festivities. In new york about 1 Million People bring in the new year in times square. Therell be 6000 Police Officers patrolling that area. In brussels, the fireworks celebration canceled due to terror threat. Also breaking this morning officials indulge him arresting a 10th suspect in last months terror attacks in paris. Following the latest out of a midwest here at home. The death toll now at at least 21 people dead. The Mississippi River likely to see a record crest later today. Turn in the markets on the final trading day, a full day here. Futures lower at the moment. We were seasoned green earlier. The dow down 23 points. Looks like the blue chips will add the first down year since 2008. Many Global Markets are closed today. Oil trading here at home. Take a look at the cost of crude off more than 30 this year. That is one of the major drivers in the stock market all year long. Trying to catch what didnt work for many investors down about a quarter of a dollar of the barrel. Bill kospi free on 1 million bond after facing its first criminal charges related to Sexual Assault allegations. The latest imac cases coming up in the 2016 president ial race, frontrunner Hillary Clinton facing scrutiny over has been paid speeches around the globe. The wall street journal reports the president was paid more than 8 million by Foreign Governments around the same time where they had printing matters before Hillary Clinton state department. A major milestone of 1 billion with free rides for just a year. The driver scores of vacation. Oil on track to the downside is the Second Annual loss in a row. The last time that happened was 9798. Bill flynn at the cme group with the latest. The economy looked pretty good, didnt it . Not so much now. It did look good then. Low prices drove the market. It didnt look good for the Energy Industry back then. We saw a lot of major mergers in the economy. Com. Mobil, texaco went out of business but it did create a generation of a bull market. We need to party like its 1999. Guess what happened in 1999 after two down years we have the biggest percentage increase since they started trading oil features. The next year after the two down years, oil was up 117 . A lot of the same things that happened and are happening now. We are seeing contraction in production, cutbacks in Capital Spending that may lead to a rebound in the new gear. Dagen really quickly, not one of the critical things will be there refinancing or the finances of some of the smaller fraction players in the United States and what happens as payments come due. Theres a lot of shoes to drop. We saw the jump of market get hit by this. The banks that lent to some Companies May feel the effects and 2016 and we are still waiting to see if there are more mergers shut down. We didnt see that this year. Not very much. We did see a cutback in Capital Investment that may work its way through but we havent seen a lot of shoes drop. We saw the 10th consecutive cutbacks, not to keep track of all these numbers this is one of our big macro themes going into the new year that the credit cycles may be in the third inning and that will place itself. Deflation in the seventh Inning Stretch but youve got to be careful in the last three months. Many people who dont do macro, it will do you if you are too early in the labs. Here is one interesting point i would like to make how energy is impacted the market. If you look at this year, earnings are impacted to the downside negative 6 . If you strip out energy, earnings were up 5. 6 or the year. The energy story is not over and it will still be turbulent going into next year because thats not nobody to there hasnt been a reset in the financial conditions of these companies. Dagen kevin is worried about the Municipal Bonds in these areas. All the Financial Institutions are related to it. Financials and industrials have a lot of problems. Dagen that is something that was planning on as well. It is never just one thing. Thank you, phil flynn at the cma. Two house panels looking to review how the nsa handled communication obtained between israeli officials and members of congress. This happening while israel was lobbying to block the iran nuclear deal. The wall street journal reporting the nsa may obtain surveillance of israeli Prime Minister benjamin yahoo and other allies despite a promise to years ago that the part of sudan. Former cia analyst fred flight with more. Are you really surprised by this . Dagen, good morning. Im not surprised nations by another nations. We have to spy on the german and french heads of state monday. This is an issue where the private conversations of congress and American Jewish organizations were being gathered up in the runup to the vote to disapprove the iran nuclear deal. This is something that is not supposed to happen. There is an nsa wrote that if these discussions are gathered, discussions of members of congress, it has to be destroyed unless it cant achieve significant foreign intelligence. This is not significant foreign intelligence. This is Domestic Intelligence between the white house and congress. A lot of heads should roll for this. It is matt murray. We also reported that israel was spying on the u. S. And had its own interests in terms of the talks. The administration argued then and Benjamin Netanyahoo went to congress and might argue in this case. Therefore it became a National Security matter. What would you say to that argument . Look, i have no problem with a president obama wanted to spy in israel. Israel spies on the u. S. It is very specific rules of nsa when there are discussions of members of congress, private discussions, this has to be destroyed unless the nsa director determines a compelling foreign intelligence reason to provide the information. This is a domestic dispute. Dagen was it just shoddy espionage frankly, fred . I am not dismissing the story, but if it is just shoddy spy craft. Well, there are two things here. And if they had a responsibility not to provide this information. Where are the whistleblowers . You talked about Edward Snowden been a repugnant individual. Where are the officials come the officials coming for to congress or Inspector General saying this is going on. I was in the intelligence business for 25 years that i wouldve never been a party to this. Dagen really quick, kevin, whose heads do you think should roll . How far up the chain does it go . The nsa director was supposed to issue a waiver to allow this type of information. The private discussion of congress to provide it to the hilt i mean, to the white house. We have to find out whether that happened. If he agreed, he should resign. They also bear responsibility and we have to find out what nsa analyst, whether the Intelligence Community liaison to the National Security council, how were they involved in this . My question is how can we enact that, how can peoples heads actually roll . We look at James Clapper. We know that came to be not true. He said that in front of congress. Nothing ever happens. We are not seen any heads roll at anything especially National Security. Who can make these decisions . Is James Clapper able to fire some analyst who spied on medicine or congressman . I think its possible intelligence officials could be held accountabaccountab le because congress is pretty angry. This is an issue for the campaign that represents a lack of leadership enough for her. The white house knew they were saving material they were supposed to have. They were basically saying to nsa we are not trying to collect or not collect information but if you collectively with certainly appreciated. We need to hear the candidate explain how they will bring new leadership in a new level of ethics that will not allow this thing to happen again. Fred, what should happen next in congress . Theres talk of investigations. Israelis seem to be contemplating a formal protest. What is the process from here on out question what should have been in your view . Welcome awaiting full investigations even though no one will be held accountable. This will send a message to intelligence professionals that this is unacceptable and if this happens you have to report it to your management, the Inspector General sent to congress. There is a certain rule here. This is probably a violation of the fourth amendment. The spying on american citizens without a warrant. These american citizens were involved in terrorist and criminal activities. They were involved in a political dispute and using a powerful Intelligence Agency to spy in another branch of government is not supposed to go on in this country. That is Banana Republic stuff. Dagen fred fleitz, thank you for joining us. Happy new years eve. It pays to shatter every box off this record imaginable. By the way, i called back. I said that early on. Come on. A lot of analysts were making that call. The man behind the fourth comes out swinging against the company that paid him millions excuse me, billions for the franchise. That is next.

A Phoenix Family received a random act of kindness yesterday. The short family was on their way to tennessee to bury their father who died from cancer. They missed their connecting flight in minneapolis and that they were going to miss the funeral. The family began screaming, crying, waving their hands in the window trying to get the pilots attention. A few minutes later the plane pulled back into the terminal. They think the pilots returning the plane around. I was just crying. I couldnt believe we were going to miss that flight. We are very, very thankful to the pilots. Cheryl an act of kindness.

Less than 1 , the Housing Markets had a rough patch this winter after being quite strong earlier this year. Joining us in in San Francisco is the founder of the group and star is always fired up. Roe is always ready to get and is this done. How crazier prices in San Francisco right now . They have definitely escalated quite a bit here the same for cisco market as you know is on fire. It has been voted the best place to live in the whole entire United States coupled with san jose which is right down the road from us in Silicon Valley. Its a highly desired Placement Firm wants to be here right now. In the latest numbers, San Franciscos the one of the hottest cities in terms of price increases up almost 11 for the month about over from a year ago. What about the affordability of people getting priced out of the market. I know it to Center Technology and a lot of extremely young wealthy people in this region. It is still not able to afford the increase in expensive homes . Im glad you brought this up because one of the main things we are dealing with is the difficulty for firsttime home buyers to purchase something here in San Francisco proper. Theres a lot of affordability in parts of the bay area. Here for 2015 we only had 30 of the people vying for firsttime homebuyers which is historically low. The last time 30 was in 1987. Weve had about 52 rises in rental income for rental properties in the Median Income for a lot of workers only one of 25 . As you can tell you started becoming an affordability issue for renters and not being able to come up with a down payment to buy. Unless you are rich you cant buy. That is the bottom line on that front. The San Francisco Federal Reserve had John Williams they lower gas prices are great and he doesnt talk about rent being up 35 yearoveryear in San Francisco. Have you seen any deterioration in all of the demand side of the market or are you seeing ongoing demand on the rental side . There is crazy pent up demand all across the board in San Francisco when a lot of people are going over to what we like to call our brooklyn, which is oakland. The rent over there is going up, too. They are up 25 . A lot of Technology Companies are moving over there and is just booming. The Housing Market is fantastic. Quick question for you. Are you seeing other people want to go into other markets at portland or seattle . Portland is up 10 for the year. Are you seen people saying they can afford same cisco. Lets move up the coast because it got the special connection between seattle and San Francisco . Ask him a hop skip and jump over to portland or seattle. Both are great hubs for technology and makes a lot of sense and people are moving down ballot. Venice beach they now call silicon beach. Kind of like our Silicon Valley and that is what is going on as well. Other markets i done for a very hot right now. Houston is doing very well. The domestic United States is doing really well on the real estate asset. The 7 everywhere else in tampa disco is secluded up 11 . The whole general real estate economy is doing very well. Dagen before we go, i lived in San Francisco for a year. I think oakland is a lot cooler. It was just a good example of whats going on. San francisco is the island and you hop on over in oakland in 10 minutes. Dagen did you have a Good Business here . Its been fantastic. Im blessed and very thankful. It has been really good.

Dont you think every american child is a president and you grew up loving the president. I do really well with zero to eight demographic. Hardly because i think my tears are big and i look a little bit like a cartoon character. Dagen hes got some lines. On the campaign trail, donald trump got a little vulgar when he explained to iowa voters why hes at the top of the polls. The economy i get 55 . Illegal immigration, trump almost 50 . I says, who was number one with handling cases . Tromp. 46 . Think of it. [applause] because they know i dont mess around. They know these politicians are all talk, no action. Dagen that was almost as good as his riff on hairspray and how he doesnt care about climate change. The Democratic Frontrunner in the meantime Hillary Clinton is facing more scrutiny over the paid speeches. They mention that a short while ago. The drummer reports the former president paid 8 million by Foreign Government during the same period that Hillary Clinton had Business Matters or matters before hillary state department. Joining us right now is Fox News Contributor julie budzinski and rich galen. Julie is one of my favorite people on earth. You are drunk and you are saying now. Dagen i love it when you are here. I want to bring it back to trump the hillary. This is already happening privately. Theyve gone right to die. If you dont like trump but you dont like hillary come if there is come if theres come if there is a matchup, whod you vote for . I wonder the backandforth you are seen over the women issue, the gender ratio, does that get them anywhere with primary voters. As they get anywhere with people undecided. Helps those for different reasons. The Republican Party tape it directly to hillary. Hes the one person in india to hillarys skin. In the month of primary republican voters. For her, it reminds people should visit it to him and the whole bill clinton thing which is what she wants to portray herself as. Her numbers were never higher. She does very well at presenting herself as a victim and the fact he brings up the factor has been cheated on her, hes not doing it the right way. There are hit that you can take but its not taking it correctly. The heads are wenches going after all these women coming forward accusing bill clinton of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault in some cases, she was right there. She was part of the move to not make them believable. Trump is saying her husband cheated on her. A lot of women a lot of women out there by the way to stay with their husbands for various reasons that will sympathize with her. Dagen i have a feeling donald trump is going to make those points in the weeks and months ahead. I think this is just scratching the surface. The point is exactly right. We are still in the primary season. Is a difference between attracting primary voters a general election voters. What trump and clinton are both doing, not sure they are expanding their primary voter base. Clinton doesnt have to. They are solidifying their base that people that were sort of fort tromp that were for trump. I have no reputation much. It is like my stock taking. Its just awful. Dagen i will say ive been completely wrong. Ive been on a show and said this was a summer romance, that people were going to sober up after too much tequila and realize this is not happening. This guy says he is a backyard pool and its above the ground which doesnt count. I was completely wrong. Being wrong is one thing but we also have see some actual votes. Just one quick question on this. Can tromp attack hillary on becoming an elitist in terms of a dynasty . Can he go there . You can say anything he wants. I know that sounds silly, but years and years ago when i was at the Congressional Republican Congressional Campaign committee, there was a congressman in indiana indianapolis coming democrat in a republican district. We pulled and pulled to find out why have been real life did. Who would tell people this is what he sat at home and this is what he said on the congressional record. People in indiana said we dont believe you. Whatever trump says, his supporters will simply twisted enough to say he is right about that. Theres nothing you can do. Either his balloon will lose air of its own accord or he is going to be the republican nominee. We are talking about something julie mentioned, which is women. Is not someone seemed to have strong appeal with women. To attacks like this make it harder for him or might they help him . Who knows. [laughter] you can answer every one of these questions with the same two words. The white republican men dont typically do all that well in general elections with women to start with. Theres a name for that, the gender gap. Again, it hearted as the porters. There is support for him. As we move into the actual voting, we will see whether or not these people who are for him. Somebody wrote a great piece the other day that i quoted in a column and he called it patrick ruffini, the digital guy. He said there is a difference between people who prefer trump and people who support trump. We will see whether they can be transitioned into supporters and voters. The im a little worried about rich. [laughter] the only final word [laughter] i am excited to see what trump says next. Mexicans, and criminal poll numbers go up. Insult the women, the poll numbers go up. Insult a war hero, polls go up. Go after disabled people. I dont know whats next i found an old picture of him with kenny g saying he produced terrific music. If thats not the end of his campaign who knows. Thats the headline. Wait until trump starts campaigning the crazier things have happened. Julie, it is good to see you. Happy new year to both of you. Not a happy new year for people in the midwest had up his 21 people have lost their lives. Thousands displaced in missouri and illinois. Floodwaters continue to ravage parts of the country.

The first criminal charges against bill cosby. Dave charette weiser has the details. Reporter looking beleaguered and weary, bill cosby would not speak with reporters as he walked into court with his attorney in its own ton of alcan sparked a charge of aggravated indecent assault and a 2004 incident at his nearby home. Charges today are filed as a result of new information that came to light in july 2015. Statute of limitations in this case is 12 years. You want to say anything . The next 78yearold bill cosby cosby a former Temple University director of operations for Womens Basketball. She contends she was inappropriately touched her in one encounter at bill cosbys home in a drug and sexually assaulted in another instance. Evidence shows mr. Bill cosby established through Work Associated with Temple University Womens Basketball program. Reporter to charges they cosby gave her three pills with wine. Her vision became blurry and dizzy. She says cosby her from behind, put his hands and her parents and assaulted her. He never had with the big gun asleep or awake. Did you drug that woman . When you look at the case, there is a number of aspects undisputed. Dozens of women have come forward to accuse him of drugging and molesting him. This is the firsttime cosby has faced criminal charges. He faces a preliminary hearing in january. Cosby is prepared to vigorously defend himself. How do you feel . No comments . Dagen joining us to break down the charges is dan simon from california and los angeles. Good to see you. Are you surprised by this criminal charges even the timing . I know the statute of limitations i think it is a talker statute of limitations. It has been a long while. Right now do you think . They just got in under the wire. A couple more months than it wouldve been barred. There is a story with this particular indictment that the da campaign that happened a few months ago was a big part of it. The campaign discussed the issue of bill having not been charged yet. The new da got right on it. Dagen do you think that the case, given the lack of forensic evidence you have the deposition coming out is new in this. If you have to defend the case, is it easy to defend her extremely tough given everything out there about an end of 50 some odd women who have accused him of Sexual Assault or improprieties . I would not want to defend the case. If i were defending this case i would be counseling bill on how to come clean and minimize the damage and try to do right by some of these victims. Forensic evidence would be a bigger deal if there were any question of the identity of the perpetrator. There is no question of that. Cosby admitted he had the relationship of some kind is that there is no need to prove that he was there. You know, if these things are unpredictable whether a jury can be mixed beyond reasonable doubt as we know is never guaranteed. But i dont think things are looking too good for bill. Quick question for you. What are the implications of his admission of health of drugging a woman in the deposition, given the fact because she was drug she waives all consent. What are the implications for that . You basically screams guilty. Dagen and as benadryl a drug . Yeah, he claimed it was benadryl at one point. Theres a lot of evidence that may have been quaaludes. Yeah, that certainly doesnt help his case one day. Of course, his Legal Defense team will make some arguments as they always do. That is their job. From everything we are reading, though, i think bill will have a rough year. Dagen thank you for joining us. Dan simon from los angeles. Happy new year, take care of yourself.

Oil on track to the down side. 97. 98. And if history is any indicator, this year or the new year will be great for oil. It should be. The last time we were up 117 . If that happens again. That will put oil close to 80 a barrel and that may not be totally impossible if you look at history. We looked at the equivalent of our daily consumption. You look at the fact that we have to replace 30 Million Barrels of day in the production world next year. Thats not going to happen. Those projects arent going to get billed and the other thing that gets oil prices going, oil prices care about prices and demand and expectations set up for a good year, back to you. Thank you, phil flynn, happy new year, my dear from chicago. Dagen today is the last day of 2015. The dow on track to have its first down year since 08. Si six out of the s ps are down, if nothing changes today. Energy will see the first stocks annual back to back losses since 2002. And winners, netflix, activision and others among the top five performers in the s p 500. Meantime, oil and the price of crude dragging down energy names and this is the biggest losers. Southern, and more. And what about the coming year, everybody . Lets talk about it. Joining us now is the host of risk and reward, and jason, i go to you first. What does the new year look like . Sure, dagen, its been an interesting year this past year. As we move into 2016, well begin making progress back to normal, but that requires a bit of a definition here. One of the aspects of normal is more normal monetary policies. Well see an increase in short Interest Rates and probably longterm as well and those have been held down significantly by the Federal Reserve. At the same time, we are seeing the new markets. Japan is coming back into focus and people are realizing, its not as bad a place to investigate as we thought for the past 20 years, and that could be more interest and china is transforming itself from a manufacturing exportled economy to a consumerled economy and at the same time you were talking about oil a second ago. We think that we may see a reversion, at least marginally, in the back half of 2016 back to normal as we finally see production fall off as a result of the oil declines and the amount of cuts in production plans put in place. Dagen deirdre, what are you looking at . I think all the points you raised. Looking at oil and china and the strong dollar. I feel look there was a lot of angst to have the s p 500 unchanged and i think this tugofwar, especially with what the fed is doing continues in the next year. You mentioned netflix and amazon. These stocks are amaze, i wrote these down. Netflix up 140 and amazon doubling and the nasdaq knocking it out of the park because they dont have energy stocks. Dagen ill point out one of keiths favorite stocks is mcdonalds. Mcdonalds is one of the biggest winners in the dow already. You still like it because im going to ask you that in terms of your positioning with very solid no leverage economy. We dont agree with the Economic Outlook of concensus. Were developing into the u. S. Recession and the credit cycles in the third inning and eventually start to see the currency war play out to its final, we internally call it the game of slowing, instead of game of thrones. You have mutually assured destruction among central planners who think they can devalue their way to prosperity and at the end of the show everybody dies. Its not a very positive out look. [laughter] thats why i think mcdonalds is a great place to be. Its not leveraging stock, its not china. When youre hung over after the recession, you can have breakfast all day at mcdonalds. Mcdonalds is actually from the investor day, theyre going to buy more stocks. Thats the biggest take away that came after the earnings. Theyre starting to put that out and they cant afford that. That raises an issue. Sales were accelerating, and thats the best catalyst for mcdonalds. We bring up the issue of debt and something that so many people have been wrong about, since the end. Recession, that longer term Interest Rates were going to skyrocket. I want to know from keith and everybody else. Look at the uncon strained bond funds. They were short longer term treasuries and long things like junk, they were betting that longer term Interest Rates were going up. What happened was people got the cycle wrong and this is, deirdre, i listen to your show every time. If you dont watch on satellite radio or dont listen to it on satellite radio you should. You heard money manager after money manager why the cycle is about to get started and the stock market is worse since 2008. Worst commodities market is ever, and ever is a very long time. I think that the market is discounting what weve been saying and i think that the Federal Reserve would basically come to us through the year and Interest Rates would be down what im looking for. Thats why i think the Federal Reserve has an opportunity to stop oil going down. Another debt question, debt in china and debt emerging markets which is hanging out there. China is slowing, even if theyre trying to get to the consumer economy and they could be below 65 this year and their debt has built up the last years and how worried are you you mean the fiscal debt, not the unofficial debt. How worried should we be about an emerging market. Like jasons views, china agrees with this and devalued their current city to a fiveyear low this week and theyre going to do everything they can, including making up the gdp numbers to make us believe that thats a point lets clarify something here. Sure, go ahead, jason. Lets clarify on china, first of all, our position is more on the emerging market consumer and we think that china and many of the emerging economies are going through a change in the way they have he managed their economies, where theyre not building up their infrastructure like they were before. Theyre focusing their spending, providing social safety nets, welfare, programs like that in order to have the consumer side of the equation, in terms of debt, thats a confusing picture. Theres corporate debt and loc local municipality debt in china and other regions. You look at the national system, china is debt negative because of the cash and reserves. Thats enough to do what they want fiscally, they could restructure things and wipe the debt off with one decision. That requires a decision to be made or a series of decisions, but mainly creates a much different picture than what people typically talk about when they talk about the excesses of debt that built up in emerging economy. The final word, i see tech and the killer app, help the cia track down bin laden raised 800 Million Dollars privately. No intention of going public. And i want to know what that cost for public shareholders of tech companies. Dagen a lot of money sloshing around in the tech world and a little bit of stupidity. Just a little. Good to see you. Thank you so much, happy new year to both of you, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. Dagen dont forget start mornings with maria 6 a. M. Eastern time here on the fox business network. Here are some of the best moments you might have missed from earlier in the show. And i double dog dare you. [laughter] did you double dog dare me . Im nervous. There are two things hes done all year, thats campaign or be on tv. Hes entertaininger in chief and thats all he is. Thats exactly what hes been doing all year. And thats throughout the last four years. And were going to be brutally honest with employees, and i just wanted to get your take on this because i find it hilarious. It is hilarious.

Back up to amc sun devil woo thank you, kevin. If you start drinking at 8 00 youll never make it until midnight. Unless you have good pacing skills. Thanks for the callout.

Why settle for this . Enter sleep number, and the lowest prices of the season. Sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. You like the bed soft.

The cat was fine. Cat hopped off, thanks for the ride. The cat looks scared to death. Scared to death. [laughter] how could you not be. Dagen thank you very much. Happy new year. Happy new year. Dagen the white house, front page of the wall street journal today set to announce new sanctions against iran. The first since the president s controversial Nuclear Agreement with iran was reached in july. The planned action is directed at nearly a Dozen Companies and videos in iran, hong kong and United Arab Emirates in the iranian Ballistic Missile program. Joining us United Nations spokesman, rick grinell, what do you think of this development . Is it a big deal or empty . Its puzzling will the Obama Administration is going to sanction iran for multiple tests of a Ballistic Missile, but yet, were going to continue to give them billions of dollars next month and were going to continue to trust them that theyre going to come clean on the nuclear deal. Its crazy. Senator kuhns, a democrat from delaware says were sanctioning iran because of their destabilizing behavior if you he was for the deal to next month give them 100 million. Were going to sanction them and give them 100 billion. Who is running the Foreign Policy . Where do the allies fit into all of this. They were part of the deal, our european allies and they wanted to do business with iran, too. And even if the iranians are annoyed at the u. S. Sanctions theyre going to do business with the allies. Does the u. S. Have leverage with them when it comes to these and other sanctions or that is over . A good question, the europeans have been the leak for us. Whenever we try to implement a policy to really sanction, you know, you look at what were trying to do to putin, the europeans have never been able to kind of follow up and play the tough guy. Theyve always been the weakness link, so to speak. So its an ongoing problem. What i did find, being at the state department for eight years, when you articulate a tough policy and youre very firm on this is where were going and this is what we expect the europeans to do, you can hold them for a pretty substantial amount of time. Theres a lot of hand holding that has to be done. Youve got to constantly use diplomatic leverage from other entities that treasury who are commerce or agriculture. But its key to stay on the europeans because together, obviously, were much better. U. S. Sanctions on a company alone, you know, theyre not going to hold very firm because, as you say, you can go around the europeans and especially when it comes to financial or banking. So, rick, we get this news on the sanctions against entities who are helping with the Ballistic Missile program. At the same time we had tehran testing unguided rockets and near the american Aircraft Carrier and french warships in the straits of hormuz in the gulf. What do we do . Nothing. And they violated the travel ban earlier, the international advisors. Right. To the Supreme Leader violated the travel ban, yet, we just dont do anything about it. And i think that one thing that ive learned with being at the u. N. With john bolten, youve got to have very quick reaction. When the iranians first test a Ballistic Missile back in october, immediately call a u. N. Security Council Emergency meeting. Bring everyone together and throw down a resolution that says this entire deal is threatened. What we have is, you know, washington kind of pretending that were going to move forward and were going to slap their hand and samantha power, our u. N. Ambassador to the u. N. Issues a statement that literally says, you violated the deal. Im not sure how you could violate the deal without throwing the deal off. This is what we constantly had from the Obama Administration, that nothing like donald trump, nothing sticks when it comes to Foreign Policy. Dagen rick, its great to see you as always. Thank you so much for taking the time, early hours for you on this new years eve. Happy new year. Dagen hope to see you a whole lot in 2016. Coming up, a uber driver and a passenger getting the surprise of a lifetime after completing their ride. And take a look at the cute puppy, zip, no limits when it comes to fetch. After the ball was stuck on the roof she decided to climb it and grab it. For round two, stay with us. Uberhitting a major milestone. That lucky customer hitting a free ride for a year, plus the driver scored a vacation, a vacation where. A car based vacation or what . Do you get to go on a plane or a boat . As cities prepare to ring in the new year theyre putting impressive security measures in place. Well bring you the latest from around the globe. Im in a new york state of mind as we get ready for 2016, ramping up security. 6,000 Police Officers will be in times square. Gerri willis is in the news room. Youre right. 6,000 Police Officers and 500 have special training in preventing terrorism. Take a look at this, s. W. A. T. Teams, a thousand snipers on roof tops. K9 and water and air patrol. Deblasio, the mayor of new york calling this more extreme than ever. When you get to other parts of the country, youve got big college Football Games going on. Pasadena, the rose bowl, the Rose Bowl Parade and extra security there as well. Tightening down the hatches all over the country, wherever people are gathering together. Across the world, i want to tell you whats happening there. Brussels canceled their celebration and last year attracted some 100,000 people in paris. The fireworks have been canceled and in london, theyre having their fireworks display, but you have to get a ticket to go there and in fact, theres going to be some 3,000 Police Officers there. A quick note for you, dagen, red square will be closed. The kremlin said theres going to be a special shooting, some kind of film there, right . Reportedly the film crew is saying were not doing that. Theres no plan to shoot tonight. Dagen sounds like russia, thank you, gerri willis, happy new year and were going to do some new years resolutions, if you will or look back. Mine is liposuction. [laughter] thats my resolution. Well, go ahead. Mine is to get off my iphone. Ive become one of those annoying people in new york crossing the street, ive got to chill out with the iphone. Dagen otherwise youll be hit by a car. It happened to me. Did it happen . A car back over me about of the iphone. But im serious youll get hit by a car. And mine is the hover board ap go work out. I dare you to bring it to the work, to the news room. I think theyre dangerous. Kevin, yours . To appreciate how much i love my loved ones and look what happened, adel said hello, Justin Bieber said hes sorry and we have hover boards even though theyre segues without handles and kim ya had a baby and didnt call it southwest. Ive got tough competition, youre better at being a millennial than i am. Dagen you need to come in with a bad mustache and a worse attitude. Im not that great of a millennial. Dagen and keith, your resolution and something you want to share with us . Ill pick up on what kevin said. This year for me is to spend as much time with people i love and the big hockey people is a part of that. Yesterday we won the holiday tournament and these kids worked their hearts out. We all worked hard and keith has a new baby and he coaches hockey, he runs his own business and gets his butt in a car many mornings and drives in from connecticut to be on this program. So, i just have to come down the street. Thanks for having me. Dagen so, markets, predictions . I can jump of off quick, its going to be a turbulent year. Dagen more than this year . Exactly, because were now getting off the easy monetary policy. Were hung over and well see how it plays out. So this year in the First Quarter, this is at 17. 5 and were at 16 now and well see the effects of the stronger dollar, oil, play out so be ready for a turbulent year. Keith will say turbulent. And im picking up on some of the trump qualities and got to spin it. Im a bullish person on wall street next year, but long bond. If youre bearish on growth, buy the long opportunity. Tlt is a good instrument. Dagen how low can the rate go on the 10year. I think alltime lows. Dagen holy moses. Keith, im bearish, maybe from hanging out with you, but bearish for the First Quarter. Five seconds. Im probably closer to kevin and keith, i dont like to make prepare predictions. Weve got to watch wages and see if they break out. Gentlemen and ladies, happy new year. Keith, and matt, and stuart varney, it is yours, my dear. Stuart it is indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Now three words i really dont care, happy new year. Here is my new year toast, prosperity, liberty, freedom. Aint no platitudes on this show. Good morning, everybody. [laughter] in the News Business he is the gift that keeps giving. Its at it again. Trump declares war on the clintons and he calls bill and hillary his enemy. No poll yet whether that will be a winning approach, but sure grabs the headlines, doesnt it . This is the serious and, yes, tragic headline. Flooding across a wide swatch of the land
