Good evening. The show begins with a conversation about the American consumer and the economy with Elizabeth Peak of Fox News, Fox Business, The Hill. Cyber Monday was a hit. 12.4 billion on Cyber Monday. The consumer is staying in the game.

No backing off. There is a slowing of momentum, says a Fed Governor, that might describe the fact that we like to shop and we've got money
