What is going on here . 41 billion. Varney and company is about to begin. Stuart lets start with a market check, shall we . We are at 17,956. A little help from the jobs report today. Okay. That is stocks. Now look at loyola. 65 a barrel. Have you ever seen a decline like that . Gas down. The National Average coming in at 271. We do this every day. The cheapest gas in america. Where to find it . Oklahoma city. It is a gas war right there in Oklahoma City. Check this out, please. The photo from tennessee. To dollars 37 if you pay with a credit card. Now lets get to uber. It is an app. It helps you order a car. It is valued at 41 billion. Check it out. It is more valuable than delta airlines. It is more valuable than all of the above that you see on your screen. Dont you find it rather difficult to wrap your arms around an app that is five years old and worth 41 billion . It is a crazy market. It is outflanking it. Instead of attacking it frankly, it just goes around it. All of these taxi cartels, it just goes in there. You start to see the same thing in healthcare. Once we get a little more benign stuart that is fascinating. You think the same thing could have been. Okay. That is happening in the car service business. You think that could happen in healthcare. It is starting already. We had a Healthcare Conference yesterday. You see it in the banking industry. The governor of china was not there. They have data on all of the Small Businesses which is where you make the big money. We are in an era where government may lead the way. Entrepreneurs will find a way to blast around them. It is incredible. Think about the productivity that this is releasing. I always wanted a car on demand. That driver also wanted me now we have a method of communicating. This innovation out of silicon valley. It is extraordinary. We are in an extraordinary era. Stuart is this the Second Technology revolution into that . Have i gone too far . Well, just imagine. 41 billion, the aggravation of going out in the rain and not being able to get a cab with uber. The terms of the technology, yes. The fact of the matter is, so far this technology is real. It is just beginning. In terms of traditional manufacturing. I thought that was the original way to start a Financial Program on a friday morning. We go with uber. Everyone is a millionaire. Everyone has their own car on demand. We have sales sliding at the gap. I knew the gap in the 1970s when they sold only levi jeans and not much else. What is going on . You also have Banana Republic and the dining start of the day. It is old navy brands. 18 in november. They really attribute this. It is a matter of public stock. The name state of the change. This is a great performer. Hold out a second. I thought of old navy at the low end of the market. They did so well in the latest on. This stop, when you look at it today, it was in the 40 range. This was 17. Gap really turned it around. Stuart i bought a pool table off one of the founders at the gap 35 years ago. Nicole do you still have it . No. Nicole whatever. Lets move on. The u. S. Birth rate passes an alltime low. Nothing to do with me. It is 10 lower than in 2007. Steve forbes is still here. I think that is bad for the economy. We saw the same thing in the night team 30s. It is the malays out there. There is no future. Incomes are not going up. We saw it on the latest jobs report. Stuart i do not think america has a long term population growth problem. We have significant immigration. This is it is like japan. Japan is the classic example. Stuart did you know that japan is the most extreme demographic of any society . The sale of Adult Diapers now exceed the sale of baby diapers. What are the sales and washington there with all the crybabies they are . [laughter] i think the demographic problems in japan are one of the reasons they have been in mere recession 42025 years. Why would you spend money if you are 65 years old and retiring in japan . They need uber. Allowing more women in the labor force. They do not want to get married because they do not want to be under the thumb of a japanese husband that works all night. This is turning out to be a remarkable open to the show. President obama nominating Ashton Carter for secretary of defense. He is academic. He is a physicist. Carter is president obamas fourth secretary of defense. I have been saying that the consumer is put off by the endless buy, buy, buy treadmill. Spending trends are shifting. After one day delay, nasas orion space ship launched. A four hour test mission. We will watch this. Threetwoone and lift off. A new era of American Space exploration. Shes still the one for you. And cialis for daily use helps you be Ready Anytime the moment is right.

I hate it when the engine warning light goes on for that low tire pressure. That does not happen to you. Because i dont have a car. [laughter] stuart starbucks launching beer and other things. I would never buy food at starbucks. No way. The economy added 321,000 jobs last month. This is the jobs report. The participation rate, steady. There is a headline number. Looks encouraging. We need to say that up front. It is good that we sought job creation across pretty much every industry. The bad news is wages are not really taking off and accelerating. The number is still at 1970s levels. That is the bad news here. I do not think it is a breakthrough. No. You cannot expect a breakthrough when we have demonized the job creators in our economy. I say many are over at the junk under the tree. There is just too much of it. Cloud nine living helps you give experiences as gifts. Cloud nine living executive Vice President when does now from denver. We like this idea. We are on your side. Excellent. Stuart give me some examples of experiences that can be given to men as gifts. Sure. Some of our most popular would be things like racecar driving experiences. Anything from racing aa for a for ari or going for a ride along with a professional driver in a stock car. Going up and taking the controls and flying a airplane or helicopter. Everybody needs a little work on their golf game. Stuart how about women . Food two words have really taken off in the past couple of years. Hating on the cultural aspect of the neighborhood as well. Different eateries. The best of brooklyn, chinatown, Something Like that. A dinner cruise. Lunch cruise. Sunset you can never go wrong with a small package. I get onto cloud nine living. I pick one and i give that experience as a gift to someone. You take a piece out of the transaction. Correct. Stuart you had 6 million worth of sales. 6. 25 million. A lot of it depends on the next month. We are expect in another of peter. Every year we have great growth. Okay. If i choose and experience gift for 100, what is your piece of the action . It depends on the experience. We negotiate our range. Stuart is the range from 5 to 20 . No, it would be more on the lines of 1520 . 50 is the highest. That is not a standard thing, to tell you the truth. Wow. You are private, i take it. How many employees do you have . We grew from 10 to 17. We are all doing the math here. You are splitting roughly 2 million am i right . I cannot really comment on any of that. We thoroughly approve of the whole idea of giving experiences. Thank you so much for having me. Happy holidays and merry christmas. I love it. It is amazing. You have to think of the other guys that will come in and compete with him. Do they have to call you mr. Varney . Stuart the race of 2016 is heating up although it is 2014. Mitt romney. Another report saying he is going to run. We have to give credit where credit is due. They think he is seriously considering a run. They think he is leaning towards a run. He has the backing of his wife. He is not 100 committed, but he is moving in that direction. So,as my personal financial psychic, im sure you know what this meeting is about. Yes, a raise. Im letting you go. I knew that. You see, this is my amerivest managed. Balances. No. Portfolio. And if doesnt perform well for two consecutive gold. Quarters. Quarters. Yup. Then amerivest gives me back their advisory. Stocks. Fees. Fees. Fees for those quarters. Yeah. So, im confident im in good hands. For all the confidence you need. Td ameritrade. You got this. Though bond. You are watching nasas or ryan moats the ship returned to where it. It went the court four our test mission disease even parachutes deploying. It is going to splash down momentarily. Giving some background on this, this is the ship nasa says will carry astronauts to mars, maybe even to asteroids as well. As you can see it coming downie will drift down gradually, down to 1,000 feet. 4,000 feet. There you go. You approve of this stuff . Is awesome. Is contributing to the some of human knowledge. This is fantastic. Like a little kid looking into a the telescope, looking at the sky. I was a time of a 1960s when we went to the moon. Now we go even further. Bernard when do you think the public is grabbed by this . Absolutely. We reported on that landing on the comet a couple weeks ago. Stuart that was gee whiz stuff. Humans on mars would grab the publics attention. Will grab the whole world. Stuart we will stay with this until it comes all the way down. It has a long way to drift. How long is it going to drift down for . 45 minutes, i am told. It is great to see if this. Am i right in saying this is the reusable rocket part that is being parachuted. The capsule, i am told, that they will eventually sit in on the way to mars. 2200 feet from here. What is your opinion going to mars . I love it. Generally in favor of this. Will not. Stuart some say it is a waste of money. No. Stuart that test was 370 million worth. They are also letting private spacecraft go into sobor but for profit but for these longterm ventures, this is really groundbreaking exploration, a am all for it. Imus in the morning when you are ok with your taxpayer money being spent to the disco am i. I am in favor of it. I love this stuff but i have to ask the question, is it worth it . Should we send robots instead of humans . Think about the scientific experiments in space. Think about your phone, the Satellite Technology we have. That wouldnt have happened without this stuff. Stuart why are we getting shots . The camera is where . On the ship above, looking down at that parachute that is gradually looking up at the parachute. From the ship, not the space ship, no, from the ship. Were getting to grips with this. Another 40 minutes to go. Nasas orion returns. As it splashed the at . How long until the thing splashes . No answer from the control room. They are watching and wondering. Stuart does 100 feet. We will stay with this until we see the splash. Is getting very close. We have splashed down. Splashdown confirmed. Stuart splash down confirmed. Ryan is back on earth. America has tripled and spike as it crosses a bridge into the future. Stuart golden spike. We have confirmation. Bernard when a golden spike into the railroads as they crossed america. Remember when they linked up . The golden spike . We have the golden spike. I thought we handled that mars coverage rather well. No Market Impact whatsoever from the mars vehicle. It didnt fall on the stock exchange. The market is back. Stuart after the break amazons jeff bezos criticized by investors for spending big on expanding the companys reach. Amazon is launching its own line, why do they do that . Tax reform in washington. We talk with leading senate republicans, is there any way to get a lowering of the Corporate Tax rate . Not if president obama gets his way. Stuart republican senator from utah orrin hatch joins us. You are a great. Stuart we are off to a great start, senator. Whig stuart are we going to get a lower Corporate Tax rate next year. I want you to tell us. How we going to get a lower Corporate Tax rate yes or no . For comprehensive tax reform, since the president would table the serious bill on that, we will look at. Everybody knows, we have to reduce the lowest corporate regime in the world so we cannot only repeat it stop these inversions from occurring. Stuart he doesnt want to tax cut. Doesnt want less revenue from corporations but wants in some way to manipulate rules so you get more out of corporations. Tell me something i dont know. That is exactly right. 600 billion, that bill a few years ago, tax increases. Is mindboggling to think he wants more with an 18 trillion deficit in this country or National Debt in this country. The fact is i am forever in neutral tax reform. I prefer comprehensive tax reform. If they come up with a bill that is serious and remain serious work, we work with them and see what we can do to get our Corporate Tax system down to reasonable levels so we can compete with the rest of the world. Nk he would compromise on tax reform . And dont think he will compromise on climate, immigration or obamacare but i think, this is my opinion, i think he would compromise on tax reform. Do you agree . I think he will also. This man has a chance to grow up as a real leader if he would work with us on true tax reform and hopefully comprehensive reform but if not, have him send us a bill that is a serious bill with regard to Corporate Tax reform and we will be happy to work with him. Keep in mind is a tough issue because 80 of Companies Individuals in most cases, 20 are see corporations and 50 of the money in the past through companies, 50 , is a complicated area but we could do it if he would work with us. Stuart president obama wants to raise the gas tax. Twentysecond. Any thoughts. With regard to the highway bill. We need more revenue so we can have a longterm highway bill. That is one of the suggestions we will listen to what of the suggestions. You would not vote in favor of a tax hike . We do have to solve this problem in this country. We dont know what you would come up with, and which most of the people in this country will support. We love it. Please dont raise the tax. Your head is not on the right. I am not excited about raising taxes in any way, shape or form. Certain ideas that i prefer and you might prefer the ones i do. Stuart thank you very much. Honor to have you with us. Appreciate it. Look at the share price of apple please. It is up 40 this calendar year. The companies accused of using seatac to preserve its apparent monopoly in music. What did they do . Before streaming was popular, 20072009 everyone was downloading music and along comes itunes. It is popular but you have to pay for it. Would not have not gotten the music they purchase from itunes but another music site. Apple said an error occurred and lost the songs they didnt buy on itunes. Now theres a classaction lawsuit seeking 350 million that might get tossed out. I will tell you why in the second. They say that was illegal. Stuart but they did it. They deleted peoples music because it wasnt download or paid for from apple. What apple says is this is they had to be complying with the music label and had to protect users against hacking. It could be thrown out. You know why . You have to prove the ipod was purchased at the time of the suit. Stuart one more for you. Amazon has its own brand of baby diapers. Wire they doing this . It starts with two products. Isil under a private label for amazon called amazon elements. They are inexpensive. If you buy these diapers you know where the materials come from. Here is where i think it is important for amazon. You have to be a prime member to buy these diapers. 99 a year you get free two day shipping, you always need diapers so it is a replenish a bull item. The 99 is no big deal in this end. This is how amazon hooks you. You by the other stuff too. Stuart another hook in kind of deal. That will take it into diapers and they are competing with the vendors on their side that sell them on line. Stuart with the birth rate down so much thank you. Fracking, moving closer to energy independence, i say is this. There is absolutely no way of stopping this billion dollar industry from expanding. Green ease may want to stop it. I think they are going to lose. You are talking about an industry that is 1 billion plus industry. And we would have lost 50,000 jobs in year 1 if we ban fracking in colorado. The Economic Cost would be a 1 billion. Weekend afford that. With the expansion of medicaid at the same level with retirement costs rican not afford not to have a vibrant Sustainable Energy industry.

The Dow Jones Industrial average hitting new highs with financials approving jpmorgan, goldman sachs, dupont, intel and traveler and we are watching stocks continuing a new high, trying to spend what they have been doing extended into beer and wine, extending their monroe minuend stock is up 2. 7 .

American eagle, the Holiday Quarter profit next, analysts forecast down 12 and many retailers had a tough week, much more varney and Company Coming up after the break. You dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. I have 40,ney do you have in your pocket right now . 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. Bernard what Northrop Grumman defense contractor a big winner, buying back stock, got an upgrade, had a high earlier today. 5 gain, best performer of all the 500 stocks in the s p. Ford motor co. Sold more than a million vehicles in china. Firsttime it has ever done that. No impact on stock. You know how we love to talk about fracking and all the jobs and growth it generates . Right now we have the man who wrote the book about fracking, it is called the boom. And is a reporter russell gold is with us. I want to know, i am going to say i think fracking is unstoppable. Is going to expand dramatically, very soon and i think it will expand into california and new york state where there are enormous reserves. Tell me i am right . At these prices, you are wrong. At these prices the industry will bat and down the hatches, where anyone knows there is good rocking in texas. If you go to 100 which we will in a few years from whales they might start looking around. Stuart if original gas and shale, you need fracking to get both, Natural Gas Prices remain low and a nice long term future. It goes to 7 or 8 where they are now. Before the industry gets confident enough to do exploration. Stuart i you telling me i am wrong . That new york state is not going to allow bigtime fracking and california will not explore the quadrillions of cubic feet it has got under its territory . I dont see new york and california and moving ahead and even if they do i dont see the industry rushing in. They need higher prices. They are looking where they know where the rocks are good in north dakota, in texas, they have tons of room there, all more friendly Regulatory Environment in texas, west texas, that is where they will concentrate for the next few years especially with current prices. Stuart did you say eastern ohio . Eastern ohio is interesting place. Chesapeake energy, the new company is very active. Theres a lot of drilling, they are trying to figure out where is the oil and gas. Ohio is very active. But you have earthquake problems and the state has been aggressive. Went to we have an earthquake . We will shutdown fracking until we figure out where the year earthquake is coming from where is it is related. You have interesting regulatory issues. I dont think it will derail but you have some interesting each is. Stuart do you think we will have a lot more oil and gas coming on from fracking in the next five years . Our production is going to keep on going up regardless of price is production going to keep going up . This is a question about Americas Energy independence. Are we going to get that . I wouldnt have said this a couple years ago but we will get to a point of vanity independence where we will be importing somebody effectively it will be smaller numbers than we are used to, we will be independent, in control of our own destiny. We are on target to become the Largest Oil Producer in the world, largest natural gas producer, we could be the Largest Oil Producer in 201617. We are getting very close. The real question is because we have seen oil prices in the 90s, down to 60 somebody has got to give. We have too much oil in the market. Who cries uncle first . U. S. Oil drillers . I dont think so. Russia, venezuela, smaller opec members. Somebody has got to scale back production. Stuart i have ten seconds. Do you think president obama will located time fracking on federal land . Over there on the land. Oh no. Never going to happen. I dont see. I think the federal government is focused on power plant rules. I dont think they are as focus on fracking. Meaning the war on coal. Two years left in the administration. And on coal. Stuart cant have this wishywashy stuff. Thank you very much. I want to break away. We are awfully close to 18,000. Look at that, up 80 points. This is an intraday high on the standard and poors 500. Were 81 and counting. If someone were to buy some microsoft which is the dow stocks, you might see 18,000. Once i am on the air and i like that. Up 81. 17,091, we are watching. Take this, dr. Siegel. Turns out i was right on flu shots all along. The full story after the break. Shes still the one for you.

Some of the bigger names, starbucks, and disney, wells fargo, new highs all across the board. 11 points away from 18,000. I am not one to gloat but the cdc is now telling us that this years flu vaccine may not be Strong Enough to fend off the current strain of the flu. Dr. Mark siegel is here to argue with me because i am not getting a flu vaccine if the thing is not 100 effective and not even 60 effective. I know you like numbers so that we give you the numbers to still bolster my side of the argument. The centers for disease control, the scene people you talking about, estimate the flu costs 10. 4 billion a year in hospitalization and in clinic visits and you know what the flu shot those . Decreases the need to go to hospitals or clinics at least 40 of the time. On a bad year 40 . On a good year 60 . That is less money spent on health care. Also people get bad diseases like pneumonia. They die from the flu. Stuart that is a lousy deal. Allows the deal . Not dying is a lousy deal . Bernard when you offer me a product, i have to pay for it in you tell me it works 40 of the cases. Half the time it will work but by any way. What is the downside of getting the flu shot . Stuck into your arm that goes into your system. It is did. It doesnt cause the flu. Doesnt cause major side effect. You might get a slight allergy from. What if you have in your home a ring of immunity, a pregnant woman, in your home somebody with a chronic illness, child with as much. If you get the vaccine you have less physically englishspeaking chair are few pregnant women in my household. I want you to get the flu shot. I am not giving a. This is going to be a bad flu year. Stuart we are in full dow watch no. Approaching the team can. We are on it two minutes from now. Hard it can be. How. To breathe with copd . It can feel like this. Copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Spiriva is a oncedaily inhaled. Copd maintenance treatment. That helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. You know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. Spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. These may worsen with spiriva. Discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. Stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,. You can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. Other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. Nothing can reverse copd. Spiriva helps me breathe better. Sfx blowing sound. Does breathing with copd. Weigh you down . Dont wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. Stuart look at this. The dow is indeed approaching 18,000. We are watching this very closely. You are going to see it happen if it happens. First, this. I have some vivid memories of my arrival in america. Big cars, the worlds best highways and yetwars. I had never seen petrol stations competing for my business and certainly never seen 0. 25 a gallon. Back then i loved it. 40 years later a miracle. There is another gas work in progress. Is limited to Oklahoma City but maybe it will spread. Competition has driven the price down 1. 98 in Oklahoma City. Dont you love it . Vladimir putin is in trouble. He needs oil at 100, not 66. Socialists in venezuela will likely default and the millers in iran, the will market hasnt been kind to them. For america stand up and cheer. Cheap gas is the best news we the people have had in a long time. Lets take a drive this weekend. Lets say fill her up with a smile. The oklahoma gas war comes to us right here on the set in new york city. We keep saying it. We will bring you the gas war in just a moment but you have to look at this. We thought we going to hit 18,000 at the top of the show so we took a look at it. We were getting close. We are still close, 17,985. Charles payne makes an appearance friday afternoon. It will hit 18 k today, isnt it . On this show. Absolutely. Right before five minute before the end of the show you will break out that 18,000 at. You got to do it. They have been buying. Charles i called this a long time ago. We are still buying. Bernard when you think the market is doing fine . Charles it is harder than it was before to find value but from a real point of view like valuation metrics alltime high, blow up tomorrow absolutely, we are still buying airline stocks. Stuart i am not surprised. Gas prices, jet fuel prices, gas was down over almost 0. 02 overnight. And National Average is 2. 71. Look at prices in Oklahoma City. 2 and under, all over that city. They have a gas war and it is going on right now in Oklahoma City. Guess who is joining us. Tw shannon, oklahoma states speaker of the house. Dont you love being in new york where it is 5 a gallon . I need to be theyre filling up my suv in oklahoma. Stuart why is there a gas born in Oklahoma City . We maintain a low tax base in oklahoma, make sure we keep our taxes low and that is part of it. It is nice in this economy to see the free market can still work in some areas still is exciting. The sad news is most of the savings consumers will see from the low gas prices are probably going to pay for their healthcare premiums that are increasing as a result of obamacare, not to buy more christmas presents which has historically been the case. In oklahoma you sit at the focal point because you have if they build the pipeline youll get more stuff coming that you. That is the idea. We could get the Keystone Pipeline finished which i think its critically important that we do we certainly would see increased production oliver. We could see lower gas prices everywhere and i dont think this will be sustainable. You cant have record low gas prices forever but consumers are enjoying that while they can. Stuart you cant interrupt this gas war. We love this. I am a republican. I am a pessimist by nature when it comes to prices but good to see the free market can still work despite the federal governments best effort to stop it. Stuart it started in Oklahoma City two days ago. Somebody opened at 1. 99. We put in all over the airwaves and three of the stations jo lin king. One of the went to 1. 98. 1. 98. That is the way the free market is supposed to work. Stuart when you are an important guy. Former speaker of the house. Stuart where do we get to 1. 90 in Oklahoma City . I got to do it but that create some challenges in State Government and other areas and like i mentioned before most of those savings are not going to go toward more christmas presents which is what we would like to see. It will cost to take care of the costs in increasing the cost of obamacare. Charles oklahoma, texas, north dakota and parts of Pennsylvania Economic miracle. The rest of the country doesnt want to hear about maybe interrupting your particular miracle. How about a compromise, the white house finally not just keystone, lettuce built more new liquid natural gas facilities, liquefied this stuff, it costs 4 and we could sell in japan for 14 bucks. Get rid of this ban on exporting crude oil. When will the white house and its take advantage of this, lets dominate the world . When we get a new president will get that. If we get a new president stuart will republicans nominate somebody who will do what charles just said . Get out there and do it. That is the issue but not the only issue. Think about what is happening, working with Community Banks across the country, what doddfrank has done, to collapse Community Banks and what we have got to do is find ways to expand where we get Community Banks which are 90 of smallbusiness lending in this country when they get back to lending, small Community Banks can be the impetus along with charles financial crisis, five banks controlled 44 of 15 trillion, big banks got bigger, people cant get loans. Black people in america have 34,000 mortgages out of 1. 6 million last year. Talk about a president s is the devastating disaster for the poorest people in this country and talk about income inequality it blows my mind. Stuart gives you the best stuff. Charles that is why i am waiting for dow 18,000. Stuart what a pleasure to have you with us. Anytime you are in new york you can sit right there. I will take you up on the offer but i have to get my suv filled the too. Stuart thanks very much. Lets go to Nicole Petallides, several stocks hitting record highs, big names, go through the list.

Some names that are hitting record highs, starbucks, and disney, wells fargo, we have seen these name is doing so well, treasury yields running up, financials leading the way, 46 names on the s p hitting records. On the dow to get in peter thousand. Intel, United Health and stuart varneys gold microsoft up almost 30 , United Health up 33 and intel up 45 . What about alcoa . That was up 60 this year so that helps things around. We are getting close to the 18,000 mark. Stuart we are real close. I got to tell you about uber. It is a ride sharing apps and it is worth 40 one billion dollars. It is five years old. Is an apps but it is worth more than delta air lines, kraft foods call list of companies it is worth more than on your screen. Cohen joins us with this one. You and i are pretty close in age. I think i have a few years on you but nonetheless you got to tell me how to explain 41 billion for an apps. What is going on . They are valuing the apps as a Technology Company when it really is just a Service Company that has been able to leverage technology. They havent reinvented the taxicab, they reinvented how you get one. That is the difference. The world is looking at it like it is some sort of new technology. They are just getting used that can add in a different matter. Will be getting of musical chairs. Stuart we are astonished at this, trying to explain to our viewers why on earth, and apps, a taxi, a ridesharing apps should be ready should be the global reach. And have 2 why are you shaking your head . I take it every day. It is a great thing to have. They are not reinventing the wheel, no pun intended. Theyre reinventing the way they live review to get to that we also is not a Technology Company and people are thinking is a growth stock. Be careful. It might be a utility stock in five years time. Be careful. Stuart i will just be careful. Thank you very much indeed. Back to the markets, look at j. C. Penney, dare we put this back on deathwatch . Charles, is this a diamond, we have been talking about this forever. Charles i got in it on weakness. I am happy we did. It is a tough one. This is a tough industry. The first Big Department store wanamaker went out of business and this always happens, supermarkets used to dominate the world, they were going to break the map, competition took about the messiers, woolworth, might be too little too late. A lot of people werent there. Stuart would you buy it . Charles i am not going to buy right now. May be a new low and looks like there is some life but no need to force it. I would rather chase the winner then pick the bottom on this. Charles stuart another one people say should be put on death watch, aerospatiale. Charles it is a tough one. The of team retail, doesnt go to entities doers. Charles he was the one who told me a couple years ago get out of urban outfitters, get out of all of them. I said okay. If they could hang in they may be hit again. That is the big guessing game for everybody. Bernard when you are not buying at 2 a share. Here is what we have lined up for the rest of this scintillating noon hour. New home sales are expected to jump next year because of millennials. Really . You have to heres this guy. A target manager going on an epic speech. His workers rights before black friday. He is passionate, and there i say inspiring. The marvels of 3d printing helping doctors with transplanting faces. We have one of those doctors with us next. Stuart i was confident we would hit 18,000 at the top of the hour. We did not. We have slipped down a little bit. Maybe we will take a new run at it but we are 78, 17,978 is where we are. Three dow stocks hitting record highs. Some of them again, travelers, visa, disney, disney at 93. The s p 500 in record territory, 46 stocks in that 500 index. 46 of them. Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is willing to put money on Hillary Clinton winning in 2016. He is putting his money where his mouth is by making his first donation to a political group, 25,000 to the group ready for hillary. He is backing Hillary Clinton. Charles he does not want elizabeth warren. That might be the good news but it is interesting. I am not surprised. Stuart the u. S. Birth rate has fallen to an alltime low, 10 lower than it was in 2007. Why is that . We are told it is because having babies is a very expensive proposition. Any input on that . Charles i disagree with that theory. We are highest birthrates in the world. Nigeria, you gone the, the poorest country in the middle east. It is not a lack of money. In america, steve forbes hit earlier, a lack of faith in the future. We change everything. People, even how we save our money, we dont save to buy a house, we save to buy a pair of shoes two weeks from now. We dont save for college, we dont have faith in the future. Will not increasing it. We are not forming families. We are in out and living for the moment. Is a form of self loathing. Stuart that is fascinating. I wasnt expecting you to save that. Charles i want a little bit of a baby boom. Bernard when you are so refreshing. You come on with original ideas to blow us away. Stuart he does have its own show. It is on which network . Before the fox business network. Stuart is it tonight . Charles it is tonight live. Bernard when can you laugh and other six hours . 3d printers are helping doctors to transplant faces. Joining us is dr. Frank ridicki. This is a lay audience of make it really simple how you use 3d printing to help facial transplants. Go. Thanks for the opportunity. This is actually a printed model of one of our patients faces and you can see you can hold it in your hand and look at the bony structures from carrying gold is the way this image is made is from the cats can. The regular cats can we use to evaluate the patient before the surgery and you take those cat scan images and you create an electronic 3d image and from that electronic 3d image we post process it, send it to a 3d printer. This one is 3d printed on not stratus printer and overtime, six or seven hours we are able to get this 3d printed model that is very hard, feels like bone and represents the bone tissue that is very important. Our patients typically had catastrophic injuries which is why the need a face transplant in the first place and with this model we are able to assess the bone features you really cant get from what 2 dimensional computer screen and you need to know before the surgery. Stuart so you got a very precise model on which to build a new face. I got that. Is it a transplanted phase from another even being going to a different human being or are you constructing a new phase using that as a model . It is the transplanted face. Is an organ donation. I can show you a little bit about how that occurs and i appreciate the question. This is actually at soft tissue model of this patients face after the time of injury. We are able, you can see how thin it is because of the injury and scott tissue that is fair. This is a model of the patients face before the transplantation. Before an organ donor donated their face to replace this face that was catastrophically injured. You can actually see that the models will fit right in because the soft tissue comes directly from the patient and we are equal to actually look at a representation of not only the bone but the soft tissue. You can remove the soft tissue, take a soft tissue if i could reach over here, this is a current model of the patients face. As you can imagine with the accuracy just mentioned, you are able to assess the soft tissues in the patients face at present from a more recent cat scan so this was from an early cat scan before the face transplant and this is a 3d printed model of the bone as well as the soft tissue now. So with unprecedented accuracy and the real ability to look and touch and hold this in your hand rican actually monitor how our patients are progressing over time and is remarkable technology. Will for this we used photographs. Stuart are you telling me that someone with a catastrophic injury to the face can come in, go through the process you just described and get the face of another even being put on to their skull . So that they would in fact have the face of another, different human being . That happens . That happens. It might institution we have doney institution we have done that surgery 7 times. Our patients are doing well. This is a procedureat my instit that surgery 7 times. Our patients are doing well. This is a procedure that happens and it restores aallows them to eat properly, to smile, have touch sensations for the first time. Is really a life changing experience and allows people who had catastrophic injuries to actually go out in public. Stuart i am sorry we are out of time. This is a Financial Program but this has nothing to do with money whatsoever. We brought this to our viewers because this is gee whiz technology, gee whiz medicine and you are our example today and i think our audience is captivated by what you have got to say. Was a real pleasure having you on the show. Maybe you can come back again. Would it be possible to have a patient who has gone through this, put the on television . Could you do that . It certainly is possible. Many of our patients do not want to be identified but many are happy to be part of the me and tell their story. Stuart please do that. It was a real pleasure. Keep it together, thank you. Can you imagine that . Charles that will be big money. That is an economic tour. Stuart okay. To me it is gee whiz. Charles what it needs to could be amazing. My question would have been if the nose is a little bit what you are at it can you stuart put it on your show. Charles can you get rid of one of the chins . Help me out a little bit. Stuart the video that is tearing up the internet. The target managers standing on the checkout counter rallying his workers. We tell you all of this next. This is the team this is target you dont need to think that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil. And powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. Stuart i really thought we would hit 18,000 in this hour. So far, we are slacking. 17,975. We will start with intel. Intel is up 45 . Look at United Health. Nice chart. Up 33 . We should sound the trumpet for this one, please. Microsoft. Up 30 . It is the video everyone is talking about. A target store manager trying to inspire his workers right before opening on black friday. Fire in their eyes. We bring christmas bargains to them. We will show them that we are not just the best store in this neighborhood, but the best store anywhere. We are more than just a store. This is a team. This is target. Stuart [laughter] i think he was a little bit tongue in cheek and his laughers were workers werent laughing, too. I loved it. I thought it was fantastic. I am feeling from him. All right. Here is a prediction for you. New home sales will spike next year because of millennials. I remain skeptical. Shes still the one for you. And cialis for daily use helps you be Ready Anytime the moment is right. Cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently.

The basic bottom line here is 1. 99 is cropping up in Oklahoma City and in texas. This is good. We have a rally. The answer is probably yes. We will get 18 k. I want to ask you if they manage on being on death watch. He has done a bad job with this. He sold off though profitable stores. How about radioshack . They closed 1100 stores. Unfortunately, they do not have a good online presence. Unfortunately, i think radioshack is not coming back. Stuart are you on board with bricks and Mortar Stores being squeezed out, online selling is very, very big. Some of the big names will have to shut down. Yes, i agree with that premise. Radioshack and fears. Jcpenney. Once you get behind the curve, especially with technologies, it is very, very hard to catch up. Thank you for joining us, john. 321,000 jobs added last month. You are usually critical of these jobs reports. You usually say that they are just not good enough. Today, i am saying that there is a pretty solid rapport. What do you say . I think they are decent numbers. I think we are going in the right direction. You are bound to get a good number coming out. Stuart do you think that we will get 300,000 new jobs . If we did, that would mean a Stronger Economic recovery and maybe a stronger economy as well. We will take a look at the policies and regulations especially here in washington. I think that optimism is there and the aspiration among those that come hire and invest. I am a conservative guy. I like markets. I like current profit. I think that capitalism was reinforced by the election last month. I think that this positive trend has a lot to do with politics and the election. I completely agree with you on not. All of the typical things have happened. I think the real story of the election is the tribe of the American People say, look, well, we tried something and wait a minute, we want our boys heard. 300,000 jobs next month would open the door to Hillary Clinton to walk into the white house in 2016. I think that there is a lot of explaining to do. The oil shutdown, the issues with the pipeline and the jobs down there in louisiana. How does she explain the lack of interest in putting the regular person back to work . World tax reform. If we really got that next year, what is your position for Economic Growth . It would be much higher. I think it would be reaffirmed. I think people are looking for solid ground. Yes, sir. New report and it suggests that that romney will be running again in 2016. We should emphasize with our enemies. Roll that tape. Trying to understand what is psychologically possible. You dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. Nicole a monumental day on wall street as we are watching the dow 18,000. We did see a record high earlier today. 17,981. The nasdaq up one third of 1 . Intel is the best performer. About 45 . Goldman sachs, jpmorgan, some of the financials doing well today. More than 46 names hitting new highs there. Starbucks and humana. Airlines have been hitting alltime highs. United continental and delta. 5. 7 . Stuart will we have a housing boom next year . Realtor. Com is hoping so. 25 next year. Cheryl casone, i think you should pour some cold water on this. Cheryl of course they want to see housing go up. They make some interesting points. I will share them. Some of it is true. Yes, some of it is a big number. Stuart that is interesting. Hot cities, basically. Number one is atlanta . Dallas is number two. 7 there. Jobs in the energy industry. If you want to live in des moines iowa. Bob jump they are predicting for new home sales. If you want space, if you want life, a good education for your family, des moines, iowa. It is a great place. It really is. Apart from the climate. Denver is on the list, by the way. Also, l. A. The number one hot cities for next year, atlanta. They call it hot land that. Anyway. Yes. Take it with a grain of salt. Speaking of Georgetown University on wednesday, Hillary Clinton says we should emphasize with our enemies. What do you think this does to her chances in 2016 . I think her record is open. If she is running on her most recent Public Service record, it is very difficult for her. Look at the world. Look at what happened with russia feared look at what is happening in ukraine. She will have a lot to explain in terms of her role in the obama ad industry should. Come at them in a slightly different way. I do not think invading a country is particularly popular. I think if the election were held today, and clear it is not, it would be difficult for any. Running what would be interpreted as obamas biggest term. This that romney has a series of meetings with donors. He is convinced that that romney is running for president again in 2016. Number one, do you think that he will run . No. Stuart do you think that he should run . No. It would be better for them to be able to turn the page and move forward with a new cast of communicators and fingers for the conservative clause. If you are an old name, forget it. You should not be representing the republicans. I think it is better for the republican party. Very surprised at the situation. It was very surprising considering the president ial race he was deemed to have run. If you have a chance to do something fresh and you have an open seat, the fact is, people always like romney better as a potential candidate than an actual candidate. I think the party is in better shape with somebody new and vibrant than they are with someone who has ran twice. Running twice and losing, i think it can be difficult. Stuart okay. You said jeb bush has overwhelming support 76 of support for jeb bush. That was the name that was thrown out there. Jeb bush has always been project did as someone doing very well at the job. I think bushs problem, does he really want it . You do not sell your mother down the river if they say you when. If jeb bush runs, marco rubio does not. I think that it is difficult. They will say that jeb bushs decision as no bearing. I believe that psychologic weight. I do think that the impact, i think you shall be given more of a look. Which republican republicans have the best shot of beating Hillary Clinton . Any of the top tier candidates can be clinton. I can give you three or four names. I do not think he gets enough, or, if you will, as someone who is a potential toptier candidate. Stuart we are getting closer to 18 k on the dow. More on that in a moment. Of course, we are watching it. Major details on the major hack attack on sony. He is a god you do not want to mess with. It is a nowin situation for us.

This is getting interesting. Working the story with law enforcement. Seth rogen and james franco. They are the ones that started that movie, the interview. The movie cost 44 million. Also, they are revealing emails about what sony executive thought of this start. These are embarrassing. It looks like a slow drift will continue. Also, the Social Security number has been exposed. I am told that there is some drug use. 500 for marijuana and pills. There are those little perks that sometimes actors like to indulge in. It shut down sony pictures. Flat out murdered them. It is still a hollywood mystery. Possibly an inside job as we reported yesterday. We still do not know who did the jpmorgan hack. The fbi is still saying that they do not know if russia was behind it. I thought that the official was denying it . Denying that they did anything wrong . Law enforcement is not believing it. They are continuing to probe north korea. Stuart more varney in just a moment. Speed that. We really did think that we could use it in this hour. It looks like it is not to be.
