Hes blasting nancy pelosi over her decision to delay sending the impeachment articles of to the senate. Mcconnell said on monday on fox news, he has not ruled out allowing additional witnesses to be called. However, a final decision has yet to be reached. Back to you guys in new york.

Hillary vaughn has details for us. Hillary, good morning. Reporter good morning, lauren and tracee. Some democrats running for president have trash talked big tech. That is not costing them Campaign Cash because workers at some of the largest tech firms in Silicon Valley are donating millions to candidates that are calling out their own tech bosses on the campaign trail. Mark zuckerberg gets to have a private dinner with the president. Small Business Owners dont get that kind of access. That company, amazon, did not pay one nickel in federal income tax. That is called a corrupt political system. Reporter employees and packs associated with facebook, google, amazon and apple have given over 5. 3 million to candidates this Campaign Season and they overwhelmingly went to democrats. Alphabet gave 2. 6 million in Campaign Cash, 83 went to Democratic Candidates. Apples workers responsible for nearly 600,000 in donations, handed over a whopping 95 of that to democrats. Facebook shelling out 69 of their total donationses to Democratic Candidates and amazon spent 75 of their dollars on Democratic Candidates, over 1. 3 million this cycle. While candidates like senator Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have been known to demonize big tech on the campaign trail, theyre still raking in the most cash from california where a lot of people outside of Silicon Valley work in the tech sector. Elizabeth warren with the most and sanders in second. Lauren and tracee. Tracee thanks, hillary. Well, the security and Exchange Commission is looking under the hood of bmw.

Sears is selling its die hard line of batteries to advanced auto parts, the deal worth about 200 million. It a allows sears to keep selling the line of products in their stores.

Lauren our big stor store tod, boeing. The stock soaring 3 yesterday after announcing David Calhoon will replace Dennis Mullenberg. Its unbelievable, on the eve of a holiday, boeing announces leadership change and the stock market and a investors were excited about it. But for a lot of people, myself included, maybe you too, i dont think bringing in this guy, David Calhoon who is a veteran of the company, been on the board for a decade really changes any of the culture at gloang they had to make a choice between bringing in somebody who would clearly be a fresh outside voice and somebody who on one hand has the institutional knowledge, wouldnt have a big learning curve, that is calhoon, but somebody who on the other hand cant claim to be the new blood coming into the company. Had this is somebody who up until recently was loudly defending denni dennis muilenbu, said he had confidence in him. A tradeoff there. Couldnt you new at this, continuity, yes. But in terms of convincing people its a new day, well see. What was the nail in the coffin for mulcoffin for muleen. There were problems beyond the commercial aircraft division. But in the end, i think the plan up until a week ago was to try to get him through the recertification of the aircraft and then he would say, hey, my job is done, lets pass the torch. Once that was not imminent and you didnt know when the end was in sight, he was more of a distraction, more of part of the problem than the solution. Lauren does the same go for calhoon . Hes 62 years old, i believe. Do you think he tries to get the 737 max flying again and then they look for a replacement for him . Good question, whether hes sort of more of what you would call a caretaker ceo, that could indeed be the case. Boeing has a mandatory retirement age of 65. So unless they change that, yeah, by definition, hes not going to be there for a decade or anything like that. So, yeah, he could also be a transitional figure here, at least hopefully get the focus back on what really matters, keeping people safe and not on just misstep after misstep for the company here since the crash. Lauren youre an aviation journalist, you know the ins and outs of all of this. For the average flier, for the traveling public, at what point if ever are they comfortable with boeing, with that plane specifically and with just Overall Trust of the company. Theyre also dealing with the star liner, the rocket that went into the wrong orbit. These are a series of missteps by the company. Yeah, lauren, when youre a company like boeing, its a problem whenever the public is thinking about you. Boeing is not really a consumer brand. Boeings costers percent are Airlines Customers are airlines, not the public. If the public is thinking about what kind of airplane its getting on, thats a problem for boeing. The history is people eventually move on from crisis. Unchartered territory, weve never had a crisis crag on like this one drag on like this one, soon it will be a year since the second crash, since the grounding, with no end in sight. Lauren the second contractor, mash eighth of this year, the stock was at 422 that day, now its hovering around 337. So obviously this is a loss of market cap, a loss of shareholder money and a loss of reputation. And how boeing recovers is anybodys guess. But you nailed it. You said its not just passengers that need to trust the company, its also regulators and suppliers. Because boeing is a major company. This has had ripple effects throughout the entire u. S. Economy, if you could speak to that. Supply chain, boeing is the top you could picture a food chain with hundreds of companies that when boeing suspends production boeing could say were not going to lay off anybody for now but all kinds of other companies that arent in the same position of a boeing that when they stop producing parts of those planes, they have no choice because they dont have the same staying power. Boeing is the biggest exporter for this country in terms of what this country sends abroad these days, its boeing airplanes more than anything else so billions of dollars of impact throughout the economy. Lauren thanks for the time this morning. Happy holidays to you. To you too. Thanks. Tracee boeing a stock well be watching today. Right now, lets take a look at how your money is moving on this Christmas Eve morning. Futures are pointing higher, dow futures up by 17, s p 500 up by 1 and three quarters, nasdaq futures up by 4.
