susan: i agree. stuart: doesn't hurt moderna's vaccine is probably almost certainly going to be approved, distributing it by the weekend that helps the market as well. susan: can i bring up one specific sector we have not highlighted something fresh for viewers, look at hotels and casinos group. jpmorgan raising their target prices on mgm, penn, even marriott hotels this morning because there i will was bounce back when it comes to consumer, hopefully travel, if we get more vaccine distribution a second one hopefully by tomorrow, and a return to normal. stuart: susan, thank you very much indeed. we have crews working round-the-clock to complete as much as the new border wall as possible. what happens when joe biden takes office? we'll have a report. fireworks erupting at a senate hearing over russian disinformation about this. >> you lied repeatedly. you lied repeatedly in the press that i was spreading russian disinformation that was an outright lye and i told you to stop lying i continued to do it.

susan: "i was wrong." so the truth is that when he was running for office, and then especially when he was running for the presidency, millions of people heard his messaging. how many people do you think heard his admission of being wrong and his path to reconciliation? was that covered as much as the campaign was earlier? ms. kennedy: probably not. but we hoped that the people who heard him went on and told other people, as he was certainly genuine. and it was -- he was telling the truth, from his heart. susan: so, if you look at the full arc of george wallace's life, from his early days, to really finding the path to power, through racial prejudice, and then coming full circle to a point of seeking reconciliation, what do you think george wallace's legacy ought to be in our society? ms. kennedy: well, he'll always be the segregation governor that stood in the schoolhouse door. that will always be. -- i would think hope his legacy would be coming full-circle. that he had the capacity to change and say tha

susan: it is. it took humans into space bar the first time , the first manned spaceflight in 10 years from american soil, so the man is just a genius stuart: absolutely he is and i don't mind him making that money when you deposit back brand-new industries. it's a wonderful thing. susan: what people should be doing, innovation. stuart: a socialist should not whine about billionaires, but encourage them to make more money elsewhere and benefit us all. susan: stop taxing them so much so they don't have to move from california to texas. stuart: well done, you got that in. people to judge does not, i don't think he speaks mandarin and has zero experience in china. that doesn't matter to joe biden, reportedly he is considering mayor pete ambassador to china. what does chinese expert gordon chan think about that? i will ask him. joe biden has a china problem and it just got worse. you will hear my take on that in the 10:00 a.m. hour, coming up. ♪ i have an idea for a trade. oh yeah, you going to place

susan: we have a u.s. army officer going against orders doing land speculation, which will ultimately enrich himself. was this not viewed as corrupt? steve: it was viewed differently, partly because it was out of view and partly because the notions of ethics then were not what they would be later. andrew jackson, as a military officer, dealt in real estate in a grand way in the american south. some people would accuse him of corruption, but he could kind of laugh it off and see it otherwise. some people accuse john c fremont of corruption. of supporting his own interests as a politician, which he undeniably did. some people questioned his right to land he obtained from mexicans during the actual war against mexico by getting land grants of dubious legality and fighting to have them upheld in american court. his activities were questioned, but never prosecuted, never fully seen as absolutely wrong. there were things he could do more or less in the open and people would criticize them, but it did not seem to

susan: what came of that effort? sarah: that was 2015, and as soon as trump was elected, he disbanded the task force. it does not exist anymore. that said, many of the community members, grassroots organizers, academics, researchers and policymakers to a certain extent, that were interested in this, have continued to work, just without explicit federal government financial support. for example, you have this phenomenon of what some call stat activism. as obama mentioned, we did not have any sort of federal account of the number of people killed by police each year, for example. now a number of nonprofits have started aggregating that information in order to have the first step of shedding light or transparency on particular police practices in order to ultimately improve accountability in the administration of justice. susan: and again this year in the wake of george floyd and other killings in the united states, there has been another big effort on police reform. i want to show a clip from june 16 of this year, geor

susan: you mentioned going to college. and when you went there, your eyes were on a pro football career. in the end, you surprised everyone by enlisting. take as on that journey. what inspired that change in direction? jake: i wouldn't say i surprised everybody because it turns out i wasn't that good of a football player. [laughter] but i went to the university of wisconsin on an athletic scholarship, and i played offensive line. and for anybody that follows college football, the university of wisconsin is the top program in the country for sending offensive lineman to the nfl. and so i certainly thought that that was going to be in the cards for me. and it turns out it wasn't. for a lot of reasons. frankly, i just wasn't as good as i needed to be to go play pro. but those were really powerful four years for me. i started in 2001. and i finished in 2005. anyone who is a young adult at that time, and that time period, we were attacked on 9/11, shortly thereafter we invaded afghanistan at the end of 2001. about a year and a

susan: that seals the deal. when democrats meet in charleston, the sweltering heat of the summer the convention falls apart on the issue of slavery. northern democrats and southern democrats cannot see eye to eye. they are sympathetic to slavery in terms of wings of the party that southern democrats are not satisfied that stephen douglas is enough proslavery so they walked out of that convention. anyone paying attention to party politics in the summer of 1860 can see the election of abraham lincoln and republicans had gotten a tremendous boost of likelihood. host: what about the republicans that year? this is only the second time they had advanced a candidate for election. how united where they? susan: it is crucial for our viewers to understand as you just reminded them this is only the second time the republican party had mounted a presidential ticket. we are talking about a party that is five years old going from losing its first effort and -- two winning in the second. it was not the favorite candidate. he i

susan: free lunch. stuart: thank you, susan. our retail expert of the day is kristin bands and she joins me now. kristin, we have been trying to figure out what the retail sector looks like when we have gotten through this pandemic. i say that online shopping is going to dominate, it's here to stay and we are going back to the old way of doing things. what say you cannot i am wearing this green necklace because of you, so i do believe you are correct in your assumption, stuart. stuart: okay. flush it out a little bit, i mean, this holiday season online shopping is going to look to what proportion of retail sales? is it 30% this christmas, what? >> it should be more. for black friday, football as they say in the uk was down 52%. americans are shopping online and shopping online in kind. the you will see more of that going forward. you are absolutely correct, shopping with our fellow. stuart: i always think of amazon as the ruling company with online shopping. who's the second and third team players you like about online arena? >>

susan: absolutely. i forget, it was not in philadelphia, but someplace along the way there is a young girl who writes him a letter suggesting he might look good with a beard and that is the beginning of that. host: and shows he takes advice. susan: he is open to suggestions. host: it is well documented on the last leg of that trip that abraham lincoln survived an assassination plot. who was behind that, and the second question is, did president buchanan respond in any way to that attempt? susan: i have limited knowledge in that area. i do not have any record of it buchanan responding. it was a pinkerton agent who brought the information to lincoln and that there was a heightened risk in baltimore and this is something that is really interesting. after the inauguration, the crisis at fort sumter, lincoln needs to call up the militia, and the ones who march through baltimore are assaulted. i want you to think about that for a second. maryland is a state that remains in the union despite the fact that it i

susan what does bernie want to see? susan: won't surprise you. he wants to see a left tilt in the biden cabinet. despite the fact most of the cabinet has already been filled. sanders says he is disappointed there are not more progressives. sanders says the progressive movement is 35 to 40% of the democratic coalition. that should be reflected in the biden choices in the cabinet. he argued that mayor rick garland, merrick garland the expected pick for attorney general is not left enough. he also pushed for that 1200-dollar check in the recent stimulus bill t was an odd coupling with racial bipartisanship with josh hawley. that is how shows off his left-leaning tilt as you know. david: susan, thank you very much. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez receiving a warning from the chairman of the new york democrat party. lauren, what did he teller had. lauren: don't challenge senator chuck schumer, because if you do you will lose. so aoc has been rumored for a long time to be mulling a primary challenge to the senate minority leader. he is a veteran

susan: absolutely. stuart: all right. thanks, susan. d.r. barton is with us this morning, market guy of the moment. d.r., there's a very positive backdrop to the market this morning. you've got news on the vaccines. you've got the stimulus possible compromise. you've got a low number of jobless claims, only, what, 712,000. corporate profits are still doing real well. that's a strong, positive backdrop. you still bullish? >> yes. still very bullish, stuart. you know, this news on this stimulus i think has gotten the market's attention because one of the things we're looking at on the balancing of that scale, as susan just mentioned, we have 200,000 new cases, 100,000 hospitalizations, 300,000 deaths, all highs on the coronavirus front. so for the market to not be down big when we are getting numbers like that on the coronavirus side of things, stuart, i think is a very positive and shows the bullish underpinning of all that great data you just mentioned. stuart: in the last five years that you have been on this program, it may be longer, have

susan. susan: warp speed. take a listen. >> now, we are 10 months into this crisis but, for the first time we really can see the end in sight. why? because the vaccine is coming next week. the vaccine will be here in new york city. because vaccine is being produced in huge quantities for this city and for this whole country. susan: that's right. so fda approval could come as early as this weekend for the pfizer biontech vaccine because they have met the criteria. what does that mean for schools and reopening after city that desperately needs it? stuart: maybe the mayor and governor of new york could give some credit to trump for delivering these vaccines at warp speed but i don't expect them to do that. it is 10:51 and brian kilmeade is with us. i will start with new york governor cuomo making this comparison. brian, i know you've seen it but watch it again. roll tape. >> we're like the modern day de niro and pacino. you can by whichever you want. you can be the de niro or pacino fauci and cuomo. i will give y

big change, susan. susan: talk about apple, 4 1/2% right now, that is probably taking the broader indices with them. apple is the most single influential stock in 40 years going back to 1980. the reason? there is report apple will get into electric self-driving cars in four years, 2024. that is short time away. they have been working on it since 2014. they're taking along lidar sensor producers, luminar, it is owned by the 25-year-old billionaire that rang the bell on the nasdaq a few weeks ago. what does lidar do? back on sensors of iphone 12. they are laser scanners that map out the terrain in 3d for self-driving in the future. what about the addressable market when it comes to electric cars? tesla is winning the race. tesla rocketed 700%. addressable markets. total addressable market aventura. electric cars is worth $800 billion in seven years. think about it. tesla is openly producing 500,000 vehicles each year. there is a lot more to go. there is lot more room for other entrants and that is apple.

susan: he takes visitors. well,of well-wishers as but the interesting thing is this is where lincoln is scrutinized. timeld say that for a long civil war scholars really look at this period and thought why did lincoln not do more? why did he not reach out more, placate the south? ashas come to be described deploying a masterly inactivity. he is careful about what he says, he doesn't speak but not about slavery and what he repeatedly says it is my record stands for itself. manyhe means is that on issues he is open to hearing suggestions. he wants to halt the momentum of secession but there is one issue on which she is inflexible and that is the founding principle of the party that elected him. congress has not just the right but the obligation to forbid slavery from spreading into the territories. host: all eyes were on his cabinet selections during that period of time and he did a lot of interviewing of people in springfield. what was he trying to do with the cabinet he was assembling and how was it viewed by

susan, what date did he give us? susan: june next year. next summer for vaccines for anybody that wants one. the u.s. is on the goal to meet 20 million vaccines by first week in january. so far less than two million people reached the first dose of the vaccine by this past weekend that should double by this week. nearly 10 million doses will be distributed. the u.s. government purchased 200 million doses of pfizer moderna vaccine. that is 400 million. that it is more than the u.s. population. they have more than enough for everybody in the country. david: susan, thank you very much. a "washington post" op-ed said the border wall says says is a complete waste of time and money. tom homan is fired up. he responds to them. >>> the cancel culture is at it again, keeping lockdown open posers silent. todd piro is here next. ♪. david: "the new york times" is being accused glorifying cancel culture after publishing a piece that readers say celebrate ad high school student's vengeance on a classmate. that classmate was forced to withdraw from her

susan. what is the worst for you of those that we've listed? >> well, i'm right in sync with ali lately. i would go with covid for all the reasons that ali mentioned but i would like to give a runner up place to the undermining of the election and what he has done to our democracy. he didn't tear down the pillars, but he came very close to it. and especially up until today, the way he has handled himself and talking about a rigged election and talking about potential, people getting ready to go on january 6th. he's practically inciting violence, and that is, i think, the attack of who we are as a country. >> joy reid. >> it's a tough one for me too. the bounties is just stunning, but it's sort of par for the course of donald trump being more pro-russia than pro-american. i have to go with ali on this one. donald trump knew in january. some senators did as well, who played the market on it. the idea that anyone in leadership in this country knew not only that covid was deadly but that it was airborne and that trump would actually call up bob woo

>> so, susan is right, as well. that, currently, clinical trials are not being done on pregnant women, either. so this, again, becomes very tricky because, on the one hand, you don't want to be doing clinical trials on pregnant women. but, on the other hand, you also don't want to be excluding pregnant people from the benefits of this vaccine, especially, since there are many pregnant women who are essential workers, health care workers. and also, pregnant women tend to have more severe effects because of coronavirus. however, when you have tens of thousands of people enrolled in a trial, some people could become pregnant. and so, i think we will get some more information in time to come. and one thing susan could consider is because she probably won't be in the first group of people eligible to get the vaccine. could she hold off and get the two doses of the vaccine, and then work to start her family, then? >> dr. wen, what about for men is there any concern about infertility? i mean, is there any data on that? >>

how soon, susan? susan: next year. that's according to the taiwan economic daily news and they say apple sort of ramped up orders for the car suppliers in taiwan ahead of the cars debut and as early as next september, so the increase in orders could be characterized as an explosive amount, that's a high amount. next september, of course, would be earlier than the 2024 introduction supported-- reported in a time that it's not just the market of the car that it will make but the self driving electric taxi in the future. i found that interesting. ashley: speaking of apple, find this fascinating. elon musk reportedly said he wants asked tim cook to buy tesla. susan: mind blowing for a lot of apple heads. in you imagine? apple buying tesla at a 10th of the price? i think around a $60 billion. apparently this took place a few years ago during a time when elon musk was sleeping on the factory floor to get model three production problems fixed, but according to mask tim cook did not even take the meeting. i got in contact with

susan, tell us. susan: every house and senate member's personal office can get two staffers vaccinated, up to four staffers in the office for every committee chairperson or ranking member. congressman and women have been receiving their own doses in the past two weeks along with the executive branch and also the supreme court. now some in congress have been turning down getting vaccinated since there are limited doses available. there has been controversy when you saw for instance, aoc shown getting the jab on social media. some younger members should not be first in line ahead of the elderly and most vulnerable in the country. david: i would agree with that. grandmothers are worth are more at risk any way than the young folks are. susan, thank you very much. >>> weekly oil inventories are breaking right now. lauren, give us the numbers. lauren: a huge decline for the week, down by 6.07 million, david. the expect was about 6.2 million. this is three times more than expected. the price of oil is up ju

baker by new yorkn reporter peter baker and his wife, susan glasser, staff writer for "the new yorker." i know that you fully cooperated with peter and susan in the research and setting up the interviews, but you did not have any editorial control over the final product. sec. baker: no. talmage: so i'm sure you've read it. what's it like to read the biography of yourself published, by doubleday, huge reviews in "the new york times"? what did you think of the book and its presentation of your life? sec. baker: well, of course, i was a little apprehensive, because i'm a conservative republican, and the "new yorker" and "the new york times" are not necessarily conservative publications. but i determined there wasn't really anything out there for me to hide, so i gave them everything. i gave them boxes, files of correspondence from years ago with my parents and with my sib, my sister, and others. and i just said have at it, because i was not really particularly worried. was i a little apprehensive about what conclusions they might come to? you bet i was. are there some conclusions in the

i think susan got you this week, though. >> his was great. >> susan, fantastic. so, again, read susan's piece in the new yorker. "the president is acting crazy, so why are we shrugging it off?" and i appreciate it. have a great weekend. thank you so much. >>> one white house adviser says people are quote panicked as he prepares for a campaign-style rally tomorrow. >> you need to understand, this is not just about georgia. this is about america, and this is about the world. and it's in your power to, in fact, have an impact. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. understanding how to talk

>> thank you, and welcome back, susan. so good to see you. >> thank you. >> [inaudible] and one question. i think i mentioned this in our discussion about intangible heritage assets, but the city library, the public library, the main branch conducted this survey called shades of california, and that's where normal, every day people, people who don't know anything about preservation, people who don't know anything about community building or advocacy or anything, were allowed to bring photos in to be conned. they could -- scanned. they could have been photos of their families, they could have been photos of their neighborhoods, they could have been photos of their businesses, but that would give you a look at people and places of san francisco that people might not have a lot of knowledge about. los angeles published a book, and it was really great for us to go into kind of the many microneighborhoods that you were talking about because there's really no other way we were able to get that kind of information. and my questio

susan: yeah. smeep, i think every calculation -- i mean, i think calculation republicans are making and democrats, too, are about the georgia special elections. most people i talk to give republicans a narrow edge as the home team in both of those races. but if the senate were to change hands that completely scrambles every calculation we've been making about the biden administration. and i think mcconnell's fear as we go forward into january, where congress still has to certify the electoral college is he's trying to get in front of any situation in which the republican party could be divided. they're probably going to have some drama on the house floor, certainly among the president's house allies. but mitch mcconnell has been talking to senate republicans and saying don't agree to these objections. don't be part of the sirkus. and the fear is that it will look like republicans are for trump and against trump and that could have some ripple effects throughout the party. i'm not as certain as mit

i think susan got you this week, though. >> his is great. >> susan, fantastic. read susan's piece in the new yorker. the president is acting crazy, so why are we shrugging it off. i appreciate it, have a great weekend. thank you so much. >>> one white house adviser says people around the president are panicked about the georgia runoffs. former president barack obama says this about the race. >> you need to understand, this is not just about georgia, it's about america and it's about the world. and it's in your power to in fact have an impact. you're cams and you get the biggest spot, and you swam in the river all day in the warm afternoon sun... that's pure gold. tonight, i'll be eating a veggie cheeseburger on ciabatta, no tomatoes.. [hard a] tonight... i'll be eating four cheese tortellini with extra tomatoes. [full emphasis on the soft a] so its come to this? [doorbell chimes] thank you. [doorbell chimes] bravo. careful, hamill. daddy's not here to save you. oh i am my daddy. wait, what? what are you talking about? >>> so georgia republicans are on edge befor

susan? >> thanks, joe. first, let me say that i think we've had a christmas miracle occur in washington. we have worked night and day for over a month, literally on thanksgiving day with texts, conference calls and zoom to put together an emergency covid relief package. each and every one of us has been committed to that goal. i want to thank my democratic and republican colleagues in the senate for working so hard to bring us to this day, but it also want to thank our house counterparts, josh gottheimer and tom reed who lead the problem solvers caucus in the house, who worked with us every step of the way. [applause] so these bills are not only bipartisan products, they are bicameral as well. my hope is that our hard work will spur our leadership on both sides of the aisle in the senate and in the house and in the administration to take our products and use them as the basis for a covid relief package that is urgently needed by our struggling families, our hard-hit small businesses, our stressed out health

>> as susan just said, he does not care. he does not see his duty as the protection of the american people. this has always been about him. obviously, we have yet to see the president ever speak out against russia, and he's far too concerned about convincing his loyal followers that this election has been a hoax. so everything else that happens is of no concern to him. that's what's so dangerous about this moment. when you have a president who is focused solely on an election that happened over a month ago, he's dropping the ball on so many other areas, and it makes us vulnerable in an international space. when we have a secretary of state who's reluctantly going to go against the president and say, okay, we possibly have been hacked, but he's also someone who's not recognized as joe biden's president-elect. so the level of disorganization in the american electorate, in the upper levels of american government, have made it such we are vulnerable to adversaries coming into our nation in various ways because there's no leaders

warner: thank you, susan. first of all, to joe and susan. abouts been relentless keeping an eye on the ball, let's keep this product moving forward. i hate to acknowledge this. he was right were often than not. if we let a little grass grow under our feet, we might not be here. susan, who has been a fiery advocate for small business, this proposal takes great ideas from the first cares bill, refines them into i think an even stronger package. she has done a great job for example on outdoor venues and other venues. they and everyone in this group have been extraordinary. tom, and my hope is that the one piece that some of us still have got to weigh to get to, but i have great confidence in josh anton. people like rob portman said we may be able to bridge the final point. it is a bit of a cliche to say that we are living in challenging times. also might sound like a cliche, today is actually a really good day for our country. vaccines werethe starting to be distributed around the country. we are starting to see at least the beginning of the en

>>. >> susan, you do want to start? >> i actually had some introductions to the project before being asked to be a framer because i was invited at the behest of the initial conversations about how the whole project works i was invited to be a part of the introductory video because my initial thought was that before you can talk about what you want to add to the constitution it's important to know it's already there. and compare what you would like to see put into it to what you think might be missing. so my initial thought these are things i have been thinking about for years, things that were regarded as deficientÃb deficiencies in our constitution. almost entirely negative of what the government can't do, but it doesn't say anything about what the government should do or must do, especially the promoting quality. so my thoughts were already in the direction of there are some important things here that really given that the constitution is not only the structure of government but also an articulation of our fundamenta
