Cautious because thats when things tend to swim up and hit us out of nowhere but the reality is this. We see a fed thats accommodative, and a u. S. Economy thats finally responding so, to me, the market will likely continue a lot of its momentum and any pullbacks that should be bought. Charles heres the thing though, its one thing for the market to do what its been doing but the underlying economy seems to be gaining momentum. Certain areas in this economy, for instance the housing data weve seen recently. There are signs that Business Investment outside of these big factories could also start to pick up despite how long in the tooth this rally has been. Trials, last year on this very program it came on saying you need to divide the market, it was down 20 . I said then recession was not in actuality, it wouldnt happen. It didnt happen and its not going to happen. I will take a a more bearish not bearish but cautious route. What im telling my clients throughout this, protect your possessions and either sell something thats up big or buy options, you can buy put options which protect, can protect your downside. I dont think the market is pricing in any type of political surprise in what will inevitably be a volatile year in 2020. Inevitably but also the euror market. Again, a look at some of the data that we have come the headwinds of 2019 could actually go into 2020. While they could. You and i talked about this parabolic move the market is making, and i think catherine and scott both alluded to it, it seems a little thin right now. And, and it, yet it keeps going up. I love it, dont get me wrong. But i scratch my head thinking, i am i . Is there nothing to worry about out there . I cant find anything. Dont get me wrong. But im worried that there is going to be a black swan out there that im missing. Just cant keep going straight up in spite of everything. Charles will catherine said she was going to tell you what you should be worried about. A third of all debt is now negative yielding and no one is talking about this right now because the markets are all at record high euphoria stage. We have negative Interest Rate policy on a global scale except the fed, thank god. That has been fostering too much Risk Appetite and assumption of risk. If we get even the specter of inflation in 2020, then i think the markets are going to retrace in a meaningful way. One more point that i will say that is not priced in right now, if we get a standard or worn nominee, 50 of the s p 500 is attached to banks, tech and health care. These are people that want to do those in. You make a good point. Health care stocks took it on the nose, and we hear this a lot. Theres too much euphoria out there. Right now individual investor optimism is too high, and i thought that was remarkable, despite that the actual data. The inflation could go a long way for stocks and weve seen inflation absently nowhere in the last several years. The fed has made comments on the fact that they like to see some inflation so that could be good for stocks. Dont forget the fact that earnings could expand really nicely off of a pretty easy comp year this year. So we get some earnings expansion and evaluations on the market could expand as well in that could take the s p even higher. And the consumer sentiment, some individuals think they look at inflation, the lowest on record. You know the fed kind of pivots toward that. People are expecting higher wages this year and a new low inflation is that too much of a goldilocks situation . I dont think so. I think most of the people that look at inflation are thinking still back to the arthur burnspaul volcker area of inflation. So much competition out there. Back then when they were fighting inflation, when paul volcker was at 10 inflation, there was no internet. You can go around and chop easily for prices. Who has Pricing Power anymore . I talked last week that there is basically one duopoly out there, boeing and airbus. Thats it. As far as wages to move their point, theyve grown the faste fastest. Which people dont point out. The final point i want to make is last i looked, there was like 5 trillion on the sideline so people that were afraid to go into the market, thats the flip side of my fear argument. Last week 6 billion of it came in. We have to leave it there, Merry Christmas. We very much appreciated. Also that brings chances in 2020 way up, and we will be right back. Sweetie hands off the glass. Ugh call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. I love her quite a few of them fell on their political swords. It looks like maybe some of them have done that already in the house and you wonder how many in the senate have the appetite for that. It certainly doesnt look like doug jones does. May the economy is up in good shape. I would say that president is a modest favorite, despite those macroeconomic factors going in his favor, showing 54 in favor of impeachment, 54 in favor of removal. I think we are seeing different views on the economy. Im not sure i want to i prefer economic models. They also President Trump winning big time. They factored in the electoral college. Its hard to imagine that those bluecollar workers that voted twice for president obama then gave their vote to President Trump, i can imagine im leaving. Especially since those jobs numbers, economic numbers arent just focused on wall street on the stock market, we are seeing really great stock numbers for a lower income and americans. The only issue in this election, i disagree with the analysis. We are at each others throats even though this is a fantastic economy. We are so culturally divided, i still see this as a big tough election, a fight and i do agree that President Trump is looking right now that anything could happen in the next year. If i could jump in there as well the stock market is up and that unemployment is down but we still have tens of millions of americans that cant afford a 400 emergency. The mike rowe is going well now but to your point, 300 Million People come up there millions. The numbers are always going to be in the millions but enough to win the election. And the uniters come out of the Democratic Party, and i think its a close second to the economy. One thing im seeing from the democrats is they have a slightly different plans, and some of them tend to waffle on some of the specifics. It will be interesting to see where voters and up falling. So do we give away every single thing or just 90 of it . To your point, you see what happened with the numbers . I feel we are going through primary process where to your point, it would be hard to bring that coalition back together on the other side. We have people that are all for Bernie Sanders and medicare for all and we have people that are for joe biden and approving the Affordable Care act. Elizabeth warren and mayor pete are in between this public auction, and i dont necessarily see them coalescing behind someone if they become you bring up tribalism and, that gets to the soft underbelly of america right now. Classes and the issue of race and things like that. With that play a role in deciding this election in a client sense that many people feel like russia took advantage of that last timeout . Of course its not the kgb anymore, its the sfb about a long history of pushing the fault lines on the American Society that are real fault lines. They dont think they are interference in terms of facebook ads and such did much of anything, and they did have the deep cultural divide. I think it goes to the fact that the president consistently has his 4045 . Basically it doesnt matter what it does. They feel like they are playing for all the political marbles because of where the left is and because of what the Democratic Party has gone. People are willing to overlook things that even in the past ten or 20 years ago they wouldnt overlook the candidate but thats going to be our politics. I hope that in the longterm future americans find a way to come together but i dont see president has become the actual proxy for those disenfranchised voters who voted for them the first time around. And speaking of gifts, the house putting some coal in the white house talking but the senate is giving the senate a present when it comes to impeachment. Article one is adopted. Better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Whats next . Sharing my roots.

The my account app makes todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Not my thing. Article one is adopted. On this vote, the aye are 229, mondays are 198, present is one, article two is adopted. Charles the house voted to impeach President Trump but House Speaker nancy pelosi Still Holding back on the articles which means the senate trial is still in limbo. So what happens now . Federal prosecutor Katie Czajkowski joins us now. On one hand we were told throughout this process, it was a vulnerable process but now its supposed to shift to the senate as the democrats feel like they are treating them like criminals. What are the dynamics about this . With the impeachment trial, the procedure is everything. They are, is destined. For the sake of deciding how to run this and for the future of all president s, the senates need to agree upon the procedures. One would assume that the majority would be the one setting the rules like nancy pelosi set the rules for everything that went on in the house . Thats true to a great extent, and you have power to do that. The question is how do you make the decision, they make it a legitimate process and when you have a trial, the bare minimum that should be required to some extended witnesses and the presentation of evidence to make a valid decision. Charles that process is modeled on the house side. Very few republicans think the entire thing on the house side was fair, they want for key witnesses, im not sure that they would like to see hunter biden coming up to testify. Its got to be balanced if thats the route they want to go down. Absolutely. I think the democrats better pick their poison because there are going to be confessions on both sides. But for the sake of the procedure i think there does need to be some semblance of what we know the child to be given to the constitution doesnt require any witnesses to be presented or any evidence at all. I think it would be a mistake to not require at least some of that procedure. How much should they borrow against history . Mitch mcconnell said with gone through this before and we knew the rules in the past. Hes willing to walk along those same parameters and guidelines, and still i think hes got a fair amount of pushback from democrats rather. I think it would be a lot easier if there were specific rules prescribed. These going to be a debate about what should or shouldnt happen and even at the trial itself there still people making decisions about what evidence comes in and what doesnt. Charles are there specific rules that you are alluding to . Give us the parameters that make you think would be ideal and fair . At the bare minimum i think there needs to be an allowance to present some amount of witnesses on each side, to present some amount of argument on each side and maybe even limit by a certain number of hours and come to lead that to a boat. I think that would be the semblance of a trial. This is a trial and there should be is some allowance for the presentation of evidence and i think that would be fair to both sides.

Christmas celebrations taking place around the world tonight from the birthplace of to your homes and buckingham palace. Listen to the christmas messages from some of the worlds leaders. The president and i wish to tell each and every american a very Merry Christmas. It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps that bring about the most lasting change. And so i wish you all a very happy christmas. There is darkness in human hearts yet the light of christ is there still. With the light of christ. Charles santa claus of course has become a very big part of modern christmas and of all the ways to deliver gifts, the aurora, colorado, Police Department gave old saint nick a s. W. A. T. Escort. Santa delivered toys in the aurora area. I will be back with you at 6 00 p. M. Eastern time for a live special report. Now back to your world. Merry christmas. Charles you think the Holiday Shopping is over today . Think again. 7010 consumers will shop the week after christmas to take advantage of postholidays sales. Sarah, when does the stop . Its black friday, its super saturday, and now its postchristmas shopping. Its not stopping anytime soon which is great for retailers. They have an extra six days before the end of the month to make up some revenue that they might have missed. Although the forecast says they will probably be flat this year but the good news is people are going in stores. 68 of americans are planning to head into the stores on decembeo they will be receiving gift cards and taking advantage of sales. I was reading an article earlier in the week about these massive returns and how that was bad news for the retailers. They can sort of nudge you towards buying something else. You hit the nail on the head. And especially the day after christmas, things are marked down 20, 30 or 40 off. I wouldnt be surprised who, when people are making more purchases than returns tomorrow and the days after. Charles imagine gift card cards. The gift card mania, and are they still significant right n now . Thats a great question. They are not just buying gift cards, they are buying discount gift cards. It was valued at a hundred dollars but you can buy it at 15 off or 10 off so it cost you 90. And people are savvy. They are our deals and sales and coupons. We live up so mark will to the hype this Holiday Season . Did we live up to the hype . People started shopping a lot earlier than they had in the past, and retailers have to look at the season really starting back in july. In fact people started that early when they started their Holiday Shopping. Charles and pretty soon it will never stop, it will just be a continuous circle. Heres something you probably didnt find under the tree this morning, a survey from Country Financial debt relief on at the top of 49 of americans. And they are saying get me out of it. Come who knows. It might actually be part of the National Theme from here on out but, its tough though. The debt situation. It feels like we never truly get it out of control, and we went from credit card smell Student Loans and people worried about subprime auto loans. But also americans want to get out there. They want to live, you can drive a new car for 180 bucks per month and its hard to resist that. When you only have 80 bucks a month hundred 80 doesnt make any sense. The problem is we all live in the moment and we want everyone that we see everyone else having. And they have a lot more money than a lot of us do. But the problem is they have to have discipline and commitment and what i believe that people need to remember about that moving forward, that is a moral commitment in my opinion. You charged eight, the advance to the money. You owe it to them and its their money. You need to have a real obligation to the people that you do owe them money. Thats a great explanation. The idea is, it wasnt your fault. These folks who gave you the 180 card knew you were only making that. Its on a corrupt system and people actually felt okay with not paying these. They thought that was morally okay. Thats why i think my last book was all about core values and thats what you have to bring up the moral side of this, honesty, integrity and respect for peoples money. You pretty much already enjoy. We need the moral obligation around taking care of the people who advanced us that money and understand they did us a favor. With one minute to go, some of the Economic Data i look at show that our savings rate is still relatively high, and it feels like we learned something of a lesson. But are we just doomed to repeat the mistakes that weve made on the past, even when we try not to . Its sad that we have to but probably if you dont learn the lesson the hard way, obviously people didnt learn it the hard way. Pain is a great teacher, consequences control behavior. And if you never get the consequences, chances are you never change the behavior. Charles if you are the grinch, you are actually santa claus making us do the right thing in the right way. Thank you very much. From spending money on presence to spending my money on 2020, we will see how thats shaking out in the new year. Charles impeached and raising money off of it. The Trump Campaign reporter bringing in 10 million in the two days following President Trumps impeachment vote. Is this a money sign of things to come . Lets get the read from new york. The numbers are phenomenal. Hes been raising money, his poll numbers have gone through the roof and in the meantime independents are saying, we dont have an appetite for it. The democrats look like they are sort of in this sort of unbalanced position right now. Yes charles, it seems like the democrats have shot themselves in the foot in one more way. Which is not only have they they have set up a process they know is not going to lead into the president s removal first of all, its alienating independence as you said and the Trump Campaign is internal polling showing that in some of these battlegrounds that the democrats won in 2018, but the present one in 2016, theres 11 Percentage Points of people in favor of getting rid of the democratic congressman. Now you have this new funding gap being created, because this president is very good at making a case that hes being persecuted. And you know what, he is being persecuted for three years. Hes been the subject of one investigation after another and that it really felt like when the Mueller Report got desperate, that was the first thing that appeared and that was his whole ukrainian phone call. And it nancy pelosi to your point, it was pretty obvious she knew the political peril. She pushed back and pushed back until, i felt like it was a sunday tweet from aoc that took you over the edge. I think shes politically wise. This is a shrewd woman. Now you sense the feeling that they dont know what to do with this. I mean its very clear and the president defenders will say that the decision not to transmit the actual articles of impeachment and allow the process to play out in the senate, what else could it be about the fact that they hadnt felt like they built up enough case to convince a National Consensus of people to remove the president . Im shocked that to your point they are compounding mistake after mistake. Its important that hes been talking up 2020 candidate elizabeth warren. This is behind closed doors to wealthy donors. When she gave that speech that really propelled her to the national stage, he gave many speeches very similar as well. It feels like they do is share the same ideological sort of beliefs. I think so, too. It feels like they are very much both to the left of center but not full on socialists. I think there have been signals from president obama that hes very worried about Bernie Sanders and what he would represent for the Democratic Party. And so he wants the party to remain very much a Progressive Party but to be a Progressive Party thats in the hands of the parties elites. The responsible people. Charles this was the year the democrats were going to show the world how progressive america was and we have people of color and things like that. More recently trump has been talking up women, and you have to believe with his influence that as a woman is at the top of the ticket she will definitely be the vice president. You live by the politics and died by the politics. I think we live in an age where people feel like things are broken. These kind of politics are always representation and checking boxes, delivering things like President Trump has done. Wage growth for the first time, serious wage growth for the first time in a long time. Manufacturing jobs, thats what people are looking at. Charles its been great having you here. Amazon has a new feature to help keep the holiday stress away. And youll be surprised at how easily starting small. Can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette charles tis the season for spending quality time with family. But a new survey revealing the average person cant last for hours with the relatives over the holidays and that sounds about right. Lets get straight to it. All right mike, for hours. Thats pretty good. I dont agree with most of those numbers but the that sounds about right. Its every human beings godgiven right to get into an argument over the holidays. Its not really an argument unless you get into a fight but i guess i figure for hours, youre a couple drinks in and you let your guard down and everybody gets loose on it. Its funny because just a couple weeks ago we already got into the fights over thanksgiving and its like im in the clear. But then your moms going to say, youre still single . And youre like yeah, mom. Its only been three weeks and im still single. People will be provoking each other and whatnot but thats the beauty of the holidays. Families dont have boundaries. Anything you would have it up cocktail party, any rule, youre going to break. Money, religion, politics, your weight, marital status, everything. Its a prime time to get into arguments about it if we are actually going to broach that subject. Charles but i also feel like we know the jerk in the family on the person whos going to get drunk first, we have to know a lot of personalities. Charles it always feels like there wasnt a way to stop at this time but there never is. And then you have people like me who like stirring the pot. I am not guy. Im happy hes not my relative. Its like what do you think about Climate Change . And then we start on that. I think about for hours and then you start drinking more. So those two are sticking it out with the families and amazon alexa has something that might help. Its a new feature that allows you to tell the Virtual Assistant to a change of subject. Then it will ask a random question. Thats ridiculous. I find that a cool feature, i always toot alexas horn at everything but we also have to know our change our own topics. Now its an emotional crutch to our isolation. Its just too much. Of it seems like mike needs all the help he can get. [laughs] listen, it shows how much we are lacking in our social skills. Its the fact that we rely on a alexa to change the topic. But i wish they had something we could meet somebody at the table, thats the feature i want. I think there will be big arguments over what alexa chooses. Like my alexa wouldnt have picked that in my house. Not even just alexa but the apple watch has a setting where if somebody is bothering you and your Blood Pressure is going up, it shows a blue symbol. My sister has it and then she looks at it and it points to me like, you are bothering me. So its a whole trend. We had that when i was growing up, called the mood ring. It where as accurate as on apple watch. [laughs] like i was real happy in the mood ring would be black and its like, what . Come on. That was a really technology. But i guess that plays the role. What they are trying to do is alexa will throw out other topics to debate cell, one of the questions is already a given his diehard a Christmas Movie . Then you can just argue about that as well. So its not really solving anything when they are just throwing out things that people will get in fights over. Its been one is love actually a Christmas Movie now . I think it qualifies. Diehard is. Another one, putting fido first. 62 of millennials essay they would take their pet to the vet before they would go to the doctor and i can say that those folks have never had gout. What would you say . Health care as a convenience and cost thing in the industry. I think the overall gist here is though that we love our dogs or cats more than we love ourselves. It defies the trend also. You look at dental care, 95, its 300 for your pet. The emergency room though . At the bottom is, a lot of people could care less about humans. I must say this. I think that for dogs, yes. The movie cats, that is a free show. I hate cats now. I actually think its about mental health. At your pet isnt there to have you less lonely as we disconnect from people and so as you spend on their health, you feel happy or like you are giving. I think the trend is with that. I know right. Pets arent as annoying as human beings. Then you would never have any problems. Thank you very much. We all love our pets for many reasons we dont even know. Except cats. Thank you both very much. Coming up a christmas message during these very trying times. Ill get that later. Dylan but the one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. What . Switching and saving was really easy i love you what . Sweetie hands off the glass. Ugh call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be. I love her for your worst sore throat pain, try Vicks Vapocool drops. Its not candy, its powerful relief. Ahhh vaporize sore throat pain with Vicks Vapocool drops and try new vapocool spray. When youyou spend lessfair, and get way more. So you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one. For small prices, you can build big dreams, spend less, get way more.

Charles as we reflect on this christmas day, lots of tension an and a lot of trying times but we do have a lot to be thankful for and a lot in common toward the new year. Lets talk to one of our favorite guests, bob father roberts a request. Thanks for joining us. Good to be with you. We have these segments every christmas and we are always hopeful but it always feels like to a degree certain parts of our society, that seems to even be getting worse. Even though it was a good year in general for america. If you look at the manger scene, this is the big image of what christmas is. We think of this as an idyllic pleasant bespoke place but, in reality it was it was a stable. There were animals that were in the stable. They were looking for a hotel room. And of that is precisely the mass into which the son of god came. So if we reduce the idealism of christmas and emphasize its incarnation, which is what the feast is about, i think we can have a more realistic and holistic understanding of the meaning of christmas. Charles so is that holistic realistic meaning more about hope in the future rather than a concentration on the present tense and what we dealt with throughout the year . No. I think it is the hope comes from the reality, the sanctification of the present. This is a young woman who was caught in a calling from god that literally could have put a life at stake. They are being chased by Hostile Forces and its damp and cold and precarious and yes it becomes the most profound woman in human history. Her name is blessed in all generations. There is the hope in exactly the circumstance that he confronts with her son and he becomes the king of kings and the lord of lords. In a derivative way we can understand that the contingencies of our lives, the precariousness of our lives have become the location of greatness if we become one who is the prince of peace. Even as people are now in their homes with families and all kinds of discussions, intentions and baggage, i wonder if we could just sit back and look and say, you know, theres the possibility, the potential for peace, there is potential for holiness in the midst of this very contentious circumstance. It was seen that that was the case even considering history in general and all of the things that we have overcome as human beings in general and but we lose sight, it fades away fairly quickly and for some people it could be a parking ticket or a bad day at the office. So many of the great things that have propelled us to this point, we forget about. Its very easy to forget about it because we get so caught up with the details where we lose the big picture of what the meaning of life is. I have often thought that the greatest consolation i have in times of distress is thinking of history. Thinking of the movement of history and that things are never quite as bad as i think they are, that they could be improved even tomorrow, they could be improved. Things could take a turn. Charles we got 30 seconds but in society these days that sort of thoughtfulness, some frown upon it as being corny and misplaced. I think thats true, i think we need a little too much corny nests, would become far too cynical. We doubt our own selves and a christmas points us to anything its that star that leads us to the one that gives us the meaning of our own existence. Father, thank you so much. Also folks at home, thank you very much. Merry christmas, happy hanukkah and have a great new year. Juan hello everyone, im Juan Williams along with katie pavlik, jesse watters, dana perino and greg gutfeld is here. Its 5 00 in new york city and this is the five.
