Transcripts For FBC Varney Company 20200203

dropped 7.7%. here, the market shows a very modest rebound from the 600-point loss friday. little perspective, we're still well above the 28,000 mark but we have taken a hit from the virus. as of this morning, the dow will go back up again maybe 130 points, down 600 friday, remember. the s&p up maybe 17 and the nasdaq, what, about 59, 60 points. so we've got a rebound in progress. now look at apple. i believe it's down just a fraction. $2.69. it's closing all its stores in china and some iphone parts suppliers, the factories, will stay closed. today in politics, let's get to that, all eyes on iowa for the caucuses. real drama coming up. bernie is surging, moderates are attacking him. the democrats are in a panic mode. to boost the so-called moderate cause, they changed the rules for the february 7th debate. so mike bloomberg can get on the stage. he's bought his way in. so the party desperate to keep an unelectable socialist out, turns to the billionaire class which they are supposed to hate. the anti-big money party turns to big money. you just know it's going to be a great show. "varney & company" is about to begin. mahomes throws, pass caught, williams, touchdown! kansas city. and they have done it. chiefs are super bowl champions here in miami, as they win it here at super bowl liv. >> i really believe this administration, me and this administration, we've done more than any administration in the history of our country. we've cut taxes at the highest amount ever in the history of our country. i mean, you see what's going on. there's a revolution going on in this country. i mean a positive revolution. stuart: that was the chiefs winning their first super bowl in 50 years. that was the president talking up the economy. more on all of this just a little later. let's get straight to your money, the markets and the virus. market watcher keith fitz-gerald joins us now. keith, i think you believe we've still got some more to go on the downside, is that correct? >> that is correct. in this business, you want to be right most of the time but this is one instance where i hope to heck i am terribly wrong. but i think the virus is well out of control. i think china has closed the doors because they don't want us to know the true extent of it and i think when the numbers start to surface, we are going to see a downside move. stuart: the truth is, we just don't know how long this is going to go on for. we don't know what impact on china's economy or our economy, so there's a lot of don't knows here. that's the reason for the caution, i guess. >> well, that's absolutely the reason for the caution. because it's not just uncertainty. it's the unknown. that is problematic. you've got to prepare accordingly. stuart: have you seen anything that's come down far enough that you like and you are prepared to buy now? >> i tell you what, i'm always a positive guy and i'm looking for that longer term horizon. if i see a big drop, for example, in microsoft, i see a big drop in alphabet, i see a big drop in apple, i'm going to get interested, but i'm not keen to step in front of a train i can't identify at the moment. stuart: would you say, i'm maybe going out on a limb here, the virus is a black swan event? >> i would call it more a gray swan, because we know what this looks like. we've got a history, granted, not a big one in terms of other pandemics, but we also know the markets are resilient. you have to counterbalance two extraordinarily positive influences with a big negative. stuart: all right. keith, stay there. i will bring you back a bit later. i want to bring in market watcher, i should say asia watcher, gordon chang. gordon, what is your assessment of china's response to this virus so far? >> well, right now, stuart, you see panic on the part of beijing. i think they realize that they are going to be criticized by the chinese people once this subsides, so they are worried about the recriminations. that's why beijing right now is sort of in lockdown mode. xi jinping, the chinese ruler, has sort of disappeared from thursday on. there are rumors that he was in wuhan. we will see if that proves to be correct. but i think essentially, the leadership knows that it's in trouble. the economy is certainly in trouble. you know, it was fragile before. now with this, we are going to probably see more defaults, we will see the central bank with rescue packages. this is going to be the economic story of the next several months. stuart: i am hearing that about half of china is shut down and that china has really closed off to the rest of the world. is that accurate? >> yes, i think that that's certainly accurate. it's not just china. it's the rest of the world closing china off because we are concerned about the virus, and the one thing that is of deep worry is that beijing has chosen to deal with this by attacking the united states. for the last two days, the rhetoric has been unrelenting and it has been hostile. we have been called immoral and worse. stuart: why is that dangerous? >> it's dangerous because it shows the hostility of the chinese system and of course, it makes it more difficult for other countries to help china, when it's in this mode. so i believe the chinese leaders now maybe see they have got very few options and they might lash out. i'm not saying that they will, stuart, but it's an increasing possibility given the rhetoric that is coming out of the foreign ministry, global times and people's daily. stuart: we hear you. gordon chang, thanks for joining us. see you again soon. now let's talk about apple. because that seems to be having some impact, the virus seems to be having some impact because of what it does in china. susan: right. to get 17% of their sales in china, they also build more than 50% of the iphones and a lot of suppliers in the country as well. as a result, they are closing all 40 of its apple stores, shutting down its corporate offices which impacts around 10,000 of its employees and as i mentioned, suppliers in the epicenter of wuhan, and speaking to tim cook last week in california, he told me his number one priority are the employees and they might be shifting production elsewhere. there are opportunities to do so. but back in 2003, sars impacted the chinese economy by $40 billion, they lost productivity. however, china is a much bigger economy today than it was back then and some are saying that's going to drag gdp in china by 2% and you can imagine the ripple effects elsewhere and around the world. stuart: good stuff. keith, come back in again. talk to me about apple. would you buy it at $306 with this in the background? >> i would buy it under $300. i think long term again, they still haven't begun to recognize the benefits of all of the pivots the company is making, big data, medical, et cetera. but short term, tim cook is doing what he needs to do. i think he's made it key he wants to protect the employees. the brand of apple is not going to diminish through all this. it's merely the supply that's got to go. stuart: stay there. bring you back a bit later on. let me show you now google. they report after the bell and look at them premarket, just look at this. you are up another $22. $1455. this is premarket. they report after the bell today. it's already a trillion dollar company. can you believe this one. amazon employs a half million people in the united states and that's up 43% from the previous year. it's triple what they employed five years ago. that's amazon. also up premarket. q. lo . look at tesla. the virus has not yet affected it even though it's producing their model 3 cars in china for the chinese market. look at it premarket, 3.5% up. $22 higher for tesla. overall, the market shows a modest comeback. remember we were down $600 on the dow friday, back up maybe one 40 th 140 this morning. president trump did not hold back when asked about the 2020 democrats. watch this. roll tape. >> i'm just going to throw out a name. whatever comes to your mind. start with joe biden. >> i just think of sleepy. >> bernie sanders. >> well, i think he's a communist. you mentioned elizabeth warren. she's not true to it. i call her fairy tale. >> michael bloomberg. >> very little. i just think of little. stuart: i promise you, we will bring you more from that interview and a new attack on bloomberg that has everybody talking. we got it for you. remember this tweet, tom brady reveals the real reason behind what i'm going to call a cryptic message. now we know. president trump's state of the union address expected to focus on the great american comeback but should he call out the democrats for what they have done to america in the last three years? i think he should. i will ask wyoming senator john barrasso what he thinks of that. he's next. hi, i'm bob harper, and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. stuart: futures show a very modest rebound from the big drop last week. we do, however, have lufthansa saying it is suspending flights to china until february 28th because of the virus, of course. it says it's continuing to fly to hong kong. also, united arab emirates suspending flights to china with the exception of beijing. the point here is that delta is suspending flights to and from china until april 30th. that is a very important indicator. president trump's state of the union address expected to focus on the great american comeback. now he's opening up to how unfair the impeachment process has been. watch this. >> well, it's been very unfair from the day i won, and i really say from far before the day i won, from the day i came down the escalator, the mueller report, russia, russia, russia, as you say, which was total nonsense, it was all nonsense, the whole thing was nonsense, but it was a very unfair and mostly it was unfair to my family. it's a very serious thing, it should never happen to another president. stuart: i think the president was being very modest there and i think the democrats have dragged america through the dirt for the last three years and i want to know if the president is going to call him out on it tomorrow night at the state of the union. i will now ask senator john barrasso, republican from wyoming. you think he should call them out, mr. senator? >> well, i agree with the statement the president just made there, stuart, and i will tell you that's exactly what i heard this past weekend in wyoming with 800 people at the boys and girls club large event. people know that the democrats have been against this president from day one and what i heard in wyoming, and i would expect around the country, is in spite of all of this, the president has delivered for the american people in terms of jobs, and the economy, and national security, usmca last week. we have seven million new jobs, stuart, unemployment at all-time low, wages are up. there is a really good story to tell and i'm looking forward to the president telling that in the state of the union tomorrow night. stuart: so you would favor a more friendly sort of approach as opposed to calling them out. remember, speaker pelosi is going to be sitting right behind him. she's the one who said impeachment is forever. very spitefully, i think. and the presidential candidates who called him a liar and racist are sitting right in front of him. should he just let them get away with it and be all nice and friendly? >> well, elections are about the future. i would like the president to point out where we are today with the strong, healthy and growing economy and why we are there, because of the tax cuts and the regulatory relief and the efforts by the president on trade and it's time to talk about through an optimistic standpoint where we want to go in the future, to lower the cost of prescription drugs, to work on the highway bill. i chair that committee, stuart, in the senate. roads, bridges, tunnels, all of those things, to see what we can do for veterans. i think the president can talk about the incredible accomplishments through his administration and where we want to go into a second term. stuart: mr. senator, congressman adam schiff is convinced there was nothing democrats could have done differently. just watch this, please. roll tape. >> there's nothing that i can see that we could have done differently because as the senators have already admitted, we proved our case. the process in this impeachment was different than in nixon and clinton. in fact, the president had the aim d same due process rights which he did not avail himself of in this process as the prior ones. that is not an excuse that should be used by any senator for not fulfilling their obligation to hold a fair trial. stuart: senator, what's your reaction to that? >> adam schiff was partisan impeachment in the house, was completely partisan and political, i believe people have heard enough. the senate had a fair trial. two weeks of listening to the managers, the lawyers, present the case. 190 questions by senators, tens of thousands of pages of documents. we've heard enough. i didn't hear anything to which i would say the president should be removed from office. i'm ready to vote to acquit the president, to find him not guilty. the voting is starting in iowa today. this is a decision to be made by voters, not by the united states senate. we have heard enough. it is time to come to final judgment and that final judgment is not guilty. stuart: senator john barrasso, thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it, sir. thank you. with a democratic socialist, i just call him a socialist, in the 2020 race, and at least one more other candidate with far left policies, we've got a new poll and it shows capitalism wins over socialism amongst voters. ashley: not as overwhelmingly as you probably would like. that's the problem. this is from nbc news/"wall street journal." it says most, most view capitalism better than socialism. let's take a look at the poll. more than half, 52% have a positive view of capitalism, the survey found, but 18% have a negative perception of capitalism. on the other side, 19% of voters believe yes, socialism is good, but the majority, 53%, have a negative percentage. i'm surprised it's that low, to be honest with you. only 53%. by the way, this poll also found in head-to-head, bernie sanders beats donald trump 49-45%. so take what you will of that with this poll. stuart: i chuck in a grain of salt. let's get to john kerry who, as you know, ran for the presidency in 2004. he lost. now he's saying what about getting back into the race? susan: well, it's interesting that you just cited that poll because john kerry doesn't think bernie sanders has a chance in november. he was overheard on the phone in iowa by an nbc reporter saying the possibility of bernie sanders taking down the democratic party down whole is a real thing. he's basically said on the phone call that i might be jumping into the race and giving up some lucrative speaking engagements in order to do so but after this report broke and went viral, john kerry tweeted out expletive-laden denial, says as i told the reporter i'm absolutely not running for president, any report otherwise, you can fill in the words there. i have been proud to campaign with my good friend joe biden, who is going to win the nomination, beat trump and make an outstanding president. stuart: what's a man like john kerry doing dropping an f-bomb like that? susan: i mean, if you want the general population to actually pick it up, you wouldn't be using expletives. stuart: stay with fox business for all day coverage of the iowa caucuses including special coverage of the results, starting around 8:00 eastern tonight on fox business. quick look at futures again. it's a modest rebound from the big losses last week. up maybe 120 for the dow. mike bloomberg may be a billionaire. that's not stopping him from targeting the rich. we break down his new $5 trillion tax increase plan. we will do that next. imagine traveling hassle-free with your golf clubs. now you can, with shipsticks.com! no more lugging your clubs through the airport or risk having your clubs lost or damaged by the airlines. sending your own clubs ahead with shipsticks.com makes it fast & easy to get to your golf destination. with just a few clicks or a phone call, we'll pick up and deliver your clubs on-time, guaranteed, for as low as $39.99. shipsticks.com saves you time and money. make it simple. make it ship sticks. about being a scientist at 3m. i wanted them to know that innovation is not just about that one 'a-ha' moment. science is a process. it takes time, dedication. it's a journey. we're constantly asking ourselves, 'how can we do things better and better?' what we make has to work. we strive to protect you. at 3m, we're in pursuit of solutions that make people's lives better.

susan: three main components, search, of course, how much they are paying people to get on to their search engine. youtube with 2.5 billion monthly active visitors and cloud, since they are growing in that space and you know that is the future that's driving amazon, microsoft and google as well. stuart: i keep hearing that. cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud. all right. google right now, $1464. rounding out some policy -- by the way, yes, this is interesting. google rounded up some policy stars. they had a closed door conference. any idea what that was all about? susan: that was obviously to lobby and to probably get ahead of the antitrust investigation that's taking place right now that's being represented by 48 states and their attorneys general, whether or not alphabet or google oversees way too much control of the search market since they seized about 95% of search in the u.s., 75% control of the advertising market online by google and facebook combined. stuart: okay. susan: they have been paying a lot of fines. they paid $170 million to the ftc for violating the child protection act online, $5 billion over in europe. >> i would like to be a fly on the wall where google is trying to present the fact that they're not a monopoly. they own the industry. they own the industry but they need to come into this negotiation or discussion without being a bully and without -- and without trying to make it that they don't own the industry. they have done a tremendous job. i don't believe in antitrust. i think they need to show that they will be a little more transparent and workable. stuart: the only threat to google is regulation, correct? >> well, its own success. to jeff's point, using his words, don't take the bait. the regulators need to don't take the bait. they are trying to shut the door after the horse is run. i think arguably, if you break google up, you in fact have a much more valuable company. so they better be careful what they wish for. stuart: move on to amazon. as we said, they now employ half a million people in the united states. they had a terrific earnings report last week. our amazon guy is cautious about everything except jeff, he's not cautious about amazon. would you buy any of it? >> yes, i would. i fall more in love with amazon with each passing day. there's a world population of about seven billion people and i think amazon is going to continue to get a tremendous percentage of that population doing something for them, so they are yes, in fact, firing on all cylinders. i think they are a great company. susan: you also had growth at 50% of employees outside of seattle, so talking about chicago, austin and other offices that are outside their headquarters. but as i mentioned to you, we do have cloud of course being competed against with google trying to get bigger in that space and slowing revenue growth from aws, amazon web services. that's probably the achilles heel and physical stores with whole foods down about 1% from a year ago. stuart: a half million employees in this country. there must be one of, if not one of the top three -- ashley: yes. stuart: walmart -- susan: mcdonald's has a few hundred thousand employees as well. stuart: how about that. i have to leave time to get to the virus. jeff, i have to ask you about apple. apple has exposure, they've got factories in china and they've got stores which they closed in china. would you buy apple at $306? >> no, i wouldn't. you know what, i have been critical of apple but now apple is so heavily dependent on china for manufacturing, that this virus will affect their manufacturing capabilities if it continues to spread. i would be very careful if chasing apple at this price because they don't have a lot of production facilities outside of china that they can rely on. stuart: $307 and change as we speak. quick check of the big board. high of the morning. now we are up 160, 170 points. ashley: apple is the drag at this point. stuart: if it wasn't for apple, we would be up 200 even though we were down 600 on friday. i got that. now, here's the indicator i really like to look at. the ten-year treasury yield, down there, still down there at -- ashley: still it was 1.53 so it's coming back a little. little bit of money coming out. stuart: not that much. how about gold? it was close to $1600 last week. edging away from it now. $1582 is your price. and oil, very important here. oil. opec is going to convene a special meeting and they are talking about cutting a million barrels of oil a day. look at that. oil is still down at $50 a barrel. ashley: yeah. they're split. there's two options, one is a million barrels a day cut by the saudis alone to jolt the market, or a collective of opec cuts totalling half a million barrels a day. they're not too sure which way to go yet but either way, they want to cut production, try to push prices up. stuart: could they make either stick? ashley: interesting to see. susan: i don't think so. ashley: in the age of energy independence. stuart: i hear keith saying no, they can't make it stick. is that right? >> i don't think so. any agreement opec forms sooner or later, one of the members decides to go out on his own and take the agreement into their own hands. number one, i don't think they can make it stick. number two, i think opec is almost irrelevant except for the headlines. stuart: gasoline is now down to a national average of $2.47. susan: wow. so we have oil prices at its weakest now since august and the worst january since 2008. did you know china is sill ttil world's largest oil importer? can you imagine how much less oil they will be using and by the way, the two largest oil refineries are close to wuhan in china. stuart: is that right? hubei province is the center of the oil and gas industry, i think. susan: yes. that's right. i believe goldman sachs says it represents, the hubei area represents about 4.3% of gdp output in china. this is a big hit. stuart: i til wastill want to l the bright side, much lower gasoline prices. sorry, i got a bee in my bonnet about that. look at the dow now. we are up nearly 200 points. if it wasn't for apple, we would be up 225. put this in perspective here. the virus is affecting our market but how badly is it affecting it? the dow now stands at 28,500. the high was 29,000 and small change. we have only come down 600, 700 points. that's not that much, keith. >> well, exactly. we can fall another 2% and still not disturb the longer term rally if you are a classic chartist, you want to apply a technical indicator. that is the silver lining amidst all the fear. >> there's also a lot of complacency people have to be worried about. i think what people are anticipating is they are anticipating that we will contain the virus here despite what china does. china has a terrible history of containing viruses. there is a bet that we will contain the virus and markets will move. stuart: i don't want to sound callous but i don't think investors worry that much about whether we can contain it in the united states. i think they worry about can we contain it within china and what effect on the global economy and chinese economy. last word to you on this, keith. >> respectfully, stuart, i would disagree. i think the market is totally underestimating this. i base that on personal experience, having been in china during the avian flu, when memories of sars struck. i remember seeing hotels locked down and guys standing with machine guns controlling who goes in and out. i don't think the markets here recognize the potential this thing truly gets out of hand. again, i hope i'm wrong. stuart: okay. okay. susan? susan: i feel china is in lockdown and quarantine right now which the chinese foreign ministry says is a little excessive but you think about it, goldman sachs on friday quantified it saying it will drag on gdp by half a percent but then rebounds a quarter later. we saw that before with avian and also sars. stuart: on this subject of containing it within america, alex azar, health and human services secretary, will be on this program at 11:15 this morning. just booked him. susan: 11 confirmed cases now in the u.s. stuart: united states, 11 cases. three more added overnight that came up in california. that's 11 cases. i wouldn't put that as a very high number, quite frankly. ashley: so far, no. stuart: so far. quick look at tesla, please. they've got a factory in china. i don't think that stock has been affected by the virus at this point. susan: oh, my goodness. stuart: tesla is up 7.5% right now. what? >> this stock is completely immune from any bad news. i mean, even apple, the ultimate apple is affected but tesla is not. this is kind of crazy. stuart: what have you got to say on tesla? >> not just kind of crazy. this is absolutely crazy. great for tesla shareholders. boy, that is a risky, risky bet. stuart: okay. points. want to let everyone know that. if you just joined us, i still call that a modest rebound from the 600 point drop friday. new hope for peanut allergy sufferers. the fda approving a new drug. kristina partsinevelos at the new york exchange with more on this, please. kristina: i know parents are rejoicing and probably very excited about this and shareholders because the stock has jumped over 20% in premarket trading. reason is, the drug is the first fda approved treatment for peanut allergies. it's made from peanut powder so it's actually peanuts in this little capsule. you break it over food, it's supposed to be a treatment for children between the ages of 4 to 17. you slowly build up the immunity. according to the doctors that work there, it's not a case where you all of a sudden are able to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but more so, it would reduce allergic reaction. the street likes it. seeing some notes, cantor fitzgerald overweight, market perform from jpm securities. they believe the stock will climb to $44 a share. right now it's at $32.81. this drug is not cheap. it's $890 a month, more than almost $11,000 a year whiches expensive for parents but obviously a great revenue stream for the company which is why you are seeing a positive reaction from analysts. i would like to end on another little tidbit. there's another drug that potentially could be approved at the end of the year, it's a different company, it would be a skin patch. finally, we are moving forward with peanut allergies. i know parents are frustrated about not being able to give their kids peanut butter and jam sandwiches at school. this is big news. stuart: it is good news. very interesting news. thanks very much indeed. i never worked out why all of a sudden, we've got peanut allergies surfacing just in the last generation. ashley: you mean the incidence of it, the number of people suffering from it. stuart: yeah. i don't remember this. i'm an older guy, i don't remember it 50, 60 years ago. i just don't remember it. >> all three of my kids have peanut allergies and we have had so many incidents with throats closing. i mean, it's a very ugly thing. it is relatively new. i don't remember when i grew up either. i think this gives us at least some hope but again, this is not a cure. susan: epipen. stuart: $800 a month. $11,000 a year. ashley: lot of money. stuart: it's not a cure. it's a progressive treatment as opposed to absolute cure here and now. that's a very expensive drug doing a very valuable service. >> costs me over $3,000 a month for my kids to eat peanuts. stuart: is it severe? >> not severe. they haven't been taken to the hospital but they will get symptoms. stuart: okay. we are now up 193 points on the dow industrials. what have we got on nike? susan: so the stock is -- stuart: it's up 4%. susan: it was upgraded to buy from neutral. shares were down last week on heavy volume because of concerns over coronavirus. it's interesting because nike gets around 15% of its sales from china, second largest in the world. so nike has a china play, china impact. stuart: got nothing to do with the super bowl last night. ashley: no, i don't think so. jpmorgan also added it to its focus list of great growth opportunities. it's getting a lot of backing from analysts. stuart: we are up 200 points as we speak, 28,457. again, we were down 600 last friday. right. where do we go from here? what do we have next? tell me. dwe wework. this is interesting. wework has a new ceo. the ceo comes from the world of real estate. ashley: yes. a real expert. stuart: we're not really a tech company like we said we were. we are a real estate company. ashley: he comes from the brookfield property. brookfield has these big shopping complexes and offices around the world. big one here in new york down on the hudson river. as you say, now it's becoming a real estate play with the appointment of this ceo. let's not forget softbank's investment in this, they committed billions of dollars. now there will be a strong tie between softbank and the new ceo. they are trying to get this back on track. stuart: can it be an ipo? >> remember the dilemma they had was adam neumann, who was a very visionary person, did not understand and made a lot of mistakes. they bring in this industry person. yes, i think they waited a little bit too long to take this bailout from softbank, but i think they will be able to ipo at some point, if he's able to execute. i think they made an incredible decision to hire this guy from brookfield. brookfield's a dynasty. he brings a very good background. stuart: wish we had time to put netflix up on the screen because they have signed meghan markle to do a series. susan: reality show. stuart: it's that time. got to say good-bye to jeff and keith. gentlemen, thanks very much for being with us. all good stuff. let's check, new high of the day, up 230 points now. we've got 26 of the dow 30 in the green and moving up. now this. social media buzzing after jay z and beyonce are seen sitting down during the national anthem at the super bowl. we've got that story for you. our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence. yeah, they help us with achievable steps along the way... ...so we can spend a bit now, knowing we're prepared for the future. surprise! we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. oooh, well... i'm good at my condo. oh. i love her condo. nana throws the best parties. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.

make the world you want. stuart: up 260 points on the dow this monday morning after the big drop friday. the virus, let's focus on retail. retail industry analyst michael zakkor, i need the names of those american retailers which are most at risk because they got a supply chain in china. >> yeah. i think companies like walmart, target, apple, major retailers who have big exposure to china in their supply chain from a manufacturing point of view, from a shipping point of view, as a central location to make and ship products to the rest of the world, companies will have an issue. stuart: we've got target up, best buy up, walmart up. not on that list, but nike, that is also up. investors don't seem to be terribly worried at this moment. >> no, but i think, you know, i was listening to keith fitz-gerald speaking with you earlier this morning before i came on, and i agree with him that i think investors are underplaying the effect this is going to have on retailers and brands globally. stuart: why do you say that? >> because what we're looking at, sure, right now products that were made a month ago or two months ago have been shipped already, they are on the water, it hasn't really hit the supply yet. i think if we look a month or two out, what we are really going to see is all the factories that did not or will not reopen after the chinese new year. remember, this last week, china was going to be shut down for chinese new year. what's going to happen is potentially millions of chinese factory workers may not go back to work, and many of these factories may not open for the next three weeks, a month, two months. so we are going to see really three months from now, the effect on the people who aren't making things today, aren't going to be able to ship them tomorrow and that's where these companies could be in real trouble. stuart: the thing is, we don't know how long china is going to be shut down for. the idea it might be shut down for a month or two months, that's extraordinary. i don't know how a population can be locked down and locked in for a two-month period. i don't see how that could happen. that would be dramatic. >> not only locked down and locked in but right now, what we are really seeing developing is borders to china are essentially being sealed. american, delta, united, the major carriers have announced no flights in and out of china until mid-march. we are seeing countries and airlines from around the world shutting down service to china. china is not only in lockdown but increasingly isolated. stuart: i'm interested to see alibaba going up six bucks at $213. now show me apple. i believe their stock was down a little in the early going this morning. it's recovered. down just 14 cents. that's all you've got. there's no real reaction on the part of american companies, investors in american companies, which do business, a lot of business in china. we have not seen a reaction yet. >> well, i think we saw the reaction last week. what you may be seeing this morning is a bit of a comeback. i think there was a big selloff the last seven days, people are getting back in. it was only ten days ago alibaba's stock got to its 52-week high of $230 and a couple days ago it was down to $205. seeing it come back a little is a good sign. stuart: still on retail. hold on for a second. i'm looking at forever 21. they reached an agreement to be bought, i think. how much? susan: simon property group, brookfield property partners, authentic brands, these are the two largest landlords for this brand. the price tag is pretty small, talking about $81 million. when they filed for bankruptcy protection the end of september, they still had around 800 stores and had to close down 100 of them. still, when you are in debt, especially to your landlords, they are the ones that take over. stuart: michael zakkour, $81 million for a company that had 800 stores doesn't sound like a lot to me. >> it's a distressed asset. not sure what they are going to do with it. maybe they are looking at a real estate play here. i don't see how they rebuild the forever 21 brand in the short term. this is something that doesn't resonate with younger consumers anymore. we will see how that turns out for them. stuart: forever 21. michael, thank you very much indeed. now then, i alluded to this earlier. let's do the tom brady thing. we always call this a cryptic picture. it was actually a plug for hulu. during the super bowl, in ads he said i'm not going anywhere. susan: that's right. that's before the fact they had this cryptic post on instagram where they said all good things must come to an end. does that mean he's retiring, does it mean he's moving to another team? no. it's just a plug for hulu saying i'm not going anywhere. hulu, 28.5 million subscribers, looking to build that. we have netflix close to 140 million. stuart: okay. let me do some more on the super bowl. ashley: oh, why not. stuart: i could not stay awake for it all, unfortunately. i should have. great game. it was a battle of the campaign ads, trump versus bloomberg, right? ashley: it was. 60 seconds each, about $10 million estimated for that. mr. trump split it into two 30-second spots, one for criminal justice reform, the non-violent drug offender who got a life sentence, was freed. also, he did a second 30-second spot on the booming economy. mr. bloomberg focused the 60-second ad on gun violence. stuart: all in the eye of the beholder as to who won. now, president trump really unleashed on nancy pelosi for her handling of impeachment. roll this tape, please. >> i think she's a very confused, very nervous woman. i don't think she wanted to do this. i think she really knew what was going to happen and it's her worst nightmares happened. i don't think she's going to be there too long, either. stuart: whoa. now, trump's 2020 national press secretary kayleigh mcenany joins me in our 11:00 hour. let's see what she thinks about impeachment and whether it helped the president or not. i'm sure she says it helped the president. the president is delivering his state of the union address tomorrow night. expected to focus on the great american comeback. should he just let the democrats have it after they put this country through the dirt for three years? sean spicer joins me in our next hour. he will react to that. . . stuart: coming up on 10:00 on the east coast. we will have a big number for you on the manufacturing sector in a moment. it is the start of a big week. the iowa caucuses underway shortly. google reports after the bell this afternoon. tomorrow president trump gives his fourth state of th onk in j. right now, it is precisely 10:00 eastern time. that means we've got a read on the manufacturing sector. this is a very important sector for the overall economy. we would like it to bounce back in line with president trump's -- ashley: we're trying to find it. hang on. stuart: what we're looking for, we're looking for the trend. what have we got? ashley: 50.9 which is important, it was 48. before you shout at me, anything under 50 is contraction. we were in contraction for december. we were expecting contraction for january. we're 50.9. the trend is up. stuart: trend is up. market likes it. up 320. we have number on construction spending. no the as morn as manufacturing. susan: disappointing, down .2%. we were expecting a solid half a percent gain. some disappointment. we heard from the government in the gdp report that housing is steady uptrend recovery in the last six months of last year. stuart: market does not appear to care much about the construction spending number. we like the manufacturing number. shows a trend, upward trend. expansionary trend for the manufacturing sector. the dow is up 330 points. that is 1.2%. ashley: more than halfback from the friday selloff. stuart: more than halfback from the friday selloff. ashley: in what, 31 minutes. stuart: we're filling up nicely. ashley: filling up nicely. susan: very strong manufacturing number, highest since july of last year. ashley: new orders seven-month high as well. stuart: we'll take it. the dow is up 327 points. and now this. the president's getting a lot of advice what to say at the state of the union address tomorrow night. i don't advise the president but i know exactly what i would like him to say, hammer the democrats please. for three years they have dragged our country through the dirt. they told the rest of the world we elected a racist bigot. that we ourselves are racist bigots too, as well as being stupid. and now they say it's the president's job to bring us together. no it's not. it is their job to apologize. they won't of course. but they really should. they launched the russia, russia, russia, fiasco. mueller killed that. there was obstruction of justice. that didn't fly. vindictive, hate-filled impeachment comes to an end this wednesday. they have done their best to make mr. trump, his supporters, america look bad. i have no doubt they will try to keep it going. why should the president back off now? we understand mr. trump will make a positive presentation tomorrow night, focusing on the blue-collar boom, job creation and prosperity. that is positive unifying. seated behind him will be speaker pelosi, it is the speaker who launched impeachment. it is the speaker who spitefully said impeachment is forever. seated in front of him will be bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. both of whom have called the president names and will vote to throw him out of office. go right at them, mr. president. you won, despite the democrats. america stands tall, despite the democrats. the media won't do it but the president can. remind everyone just who has wasted the time and money of our nation. and just who has been bad-mouthing our country. i will calm down to bring in blake burman at the white house who will tell us what the president will say in more detail. what have you you got there, blake? reporter: the theme for the president, stuart, is the great economic comeback. expect a heavy dose of the economy when the president gives his third state of the union address. tick through a handful of themes, five of them the white house says will be at the heart of the president's speech. first off, quote, unquote, blue-collar boom they often describe it. we hear larry kudlow a lot describe it as that. the president well talk about supporting and promoting working families, lowering health care costs. that is the economics in the speech we'll hear from the president. the white house says he will talk about a safe and legal immigration system, something the president has been talking about four to five years now. along with generally speaking protecting america's national security. those are the five big points that a senior administration says that the president will be talking about, stuart. we're told the davos speech that president trump gave, two weeks ago in switzerland, similar themes, similar language from the davos speech that the president will give up on the capitol tomorrow evening. whether or not he is going to hit democrats as you say, wouldn't necessarily get into specifics when we were briefed about this just to say there will be a lot of talk on the economy. stuart: good stuff, make. i will be intrigued what he has to say. blake burman at the white house. bring in matt schlapp american conservative union chair. i think the president should go after the democrats if he does, the would that be bad political strategy? >> standing ovation to you. he ought to go at the democrat with truth. what the democrats done tried to willfully suspend the truth last few years. collusion with russia. donald trump is traitor. his policies are dangerous. the american people in every poll objectively know better. we are more optimistic than any day of the obama administration because americans are very practical people. we feel better about having more money in our pocket. having higher wages, having low unemployment numbers. having a raging economy. the second thing, stuart, americans like being proud of their country and of a strong america. donald trump is overseen this rebirth. stuart: i think it goes in his favor, quite frankly. i want to ask you about the tweet you sent out, i am going to quote it now, extreme conservative, junior senator from the great state of utah, mitt romney is formally not invited to cpac 2020. i take it you're done with him as a conservative? >> i never saw him as a conservative. i never liked the binders full of women and pierre dilecto approach to politics. there is phoniness and faux necessary. he said what he thought he had to say to secure the nomination. he didn't believe it in his heart. what we saw with donald trump was the exact opposite. what he said he actually believed, he is actually doing. that is how politics changed in america. we don't need everything, we don't need perfect words or scripted speeches. we want to know what is in the politician's heart. donald trump has shown us he will do what we wanted done for 50 years. no room for mitt romney at cpac. i never gotten more positive response to a decision. stuart: matt schlapp, thanks for joining us from wherever you are. it looks cold. >> des moines, of course. stuart: what am i thinking. of course matt. >> bye, stuart. stuart: market, 300 on the dow. apple fully recovered t was down three or four bucks. it is up a buck 74 what have we got, susan? susan: apple building phones through foxconn they will shift production elsewhere. foxconn will start using plant in vietnam, india, mexico, in order to fill the china gap. but the closures might have big impact still on the supply chain and possible apple sales. stuart: i think that is really significant news, the company size of apple, making i phone, quick pivot to different parts of the world. susan: they alluded to this last week. i asked tim cook what do you do when you have two suppliers in wuhan. he said we have other avenues to explore. i think they're going to other countries. stuart: now, let's see if they can execute the pivot. that is interesting news. the overall market come back a fraction. we're still up 300 points for the dow industrials. look at google. they report earnings at 4:00 eastern this afternoon. they're up 32 bucks. later this hour, we have a guest who says google has been lying about its left-wing bias. there are 11 confirmed coronavirus cases in america. the virus continues to spread around the world. there are at least 17,000 cases now. dr. marc siegel will tell us what we need to know about this explosion. president trump slammed bernie sanders this weekend, called him flat-out a communist. we'll tell you exactly what he said. we'll show it to you.

whoof! whoof! so get allstate where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. sorry! he's a baby! stuart: this is very active market day. look at that we retraced half the loss we made on friday. we're back up 318 points. there are big movers today. look at amazon. their workforce in america tops half a million. up 43% in one year. the stock is up 31 bucks. well over $2,000 a share. i have got to talk about tesla, on a real tear today as well as the past year. the stock more than doubled since last february. it is up $62. ashley: talk about a active day. this stock five minutes ago was 732 was. very volatile. people with short squeeze hold their nose to buy. it continues to move higher. it has never gone before 700. it has done that. look at the stock start to come down again. it is very volatile. 732 bucks five minutes ago. stuart: three or four minutes ago it was 735.18. ashley: there go. susan: a research group says the stock is worth 700 to $4,000 in five years. stuart: what? susan: it rallied 200% in the back half of last year. 200% in six months. short squeeze, many people are still shorting the stock. i think they have been killed by the results in the stock rally. they have to just cover them. ashley: where is jeff sica? where is jeff sica? stuart: when a company puts out a headline this thing might go to $4,000 a share within five years, that is a headline grabber, isn't it? ashley: it is. whether you believe it or not. makes you think. i don't know. stuart: would you buy the stock at $700 because an investment firm says it will go to 4,000 in five years. i would not. susan: they're reasoning this is the amazon moment for tesla, being a profitable company after losing money for years. stuart: fascinating stuff. we're all over the place. >> yeah. stuart: get to this. president trump slammed bernie sanders over the weekend and then some. listen to this. roll tape. >> i think he is a communist. look, i think of communism when i think of bernie. you could say socialist. didn't he get married in moscow? that is wonderful. moscow is wonderful. >> honeymoon. >> well, whatever, you don't necessarily think in terms of marriage, moscow. and it's wonderful. i'm not knocking it but, i think of bernie sort of a socialist, far beyond a socialist. at least he is try to what he believes. that is one thing. stuart: i'm sorry, i find that rather entertaining. i hope you do too. i certainly did. look at this, 52% say they have a positive feeling about capitalism. 19% have positive view of socialism. charlie kirk, turning point usa kind of guy. why only 52% of us like capitalism. i know. you millenials. it is you millenials pulling us all down. >> that's correct. he it is our generation fault. if you take us out of the formula it would be up 70, 80%. it is promising america's view of socialism is 19%. i don't know who the 19% are. they're obviously completely ignoring the growing of the trump economy. higher wages, best economy in american history. it will be hard for senator bernie sanders to win the presidency. he might win the nomination. tonight will tell us a lot. it will be really hard for him to win the presidency with america's views of social e at 19% approval. him trying to say we need a fundamental economic revolution. when you have economic renaissance happening. that message does not resonate as well, stuart. look, it is my generation kind of pushing the rise of bernie sanders upper 20, early 30 millenials, unfortunately misled by the university system. but i will tell you the rest of the country will not want to buy what bernie sanders is selling. stuart: occurs to me, i've been giving millenials kind of a bad rap because we to the this number from bank of america which said one quarter of millenals have at least at least $100,000 saved up. i don't understand, maybe i'm at fault here, but i don't understand, that generation, a quarter of which is so wealthy should be in any way be ad tracked by socialism? >> i can tell you. i would love to see how those savings have grown over last couple years thanks to president trump, i can tell you that. on average, would be hard to find they have gone down. i guarranty they have gone up quite significantly thanks to booming stock market and higher wages. bernie sanders whole point to my generation, let's nationalize more of the american economy. put simply we're an iphone generation trying to be convinced to vote for a post office party. somebody like senator bernie sanders wants inefficient bureaucrats to get more involved in the most successful american economy in the history of our country. so look, it sounds nice. it is very easy to promise other people's money when it comes down to it. i think more and more people will vote for free enterprise and capitalism, especially thanks to the results this administration has delivered. stuart: i like that. i like the analogy there. iphone generation, post office generation. very good. i'm the post office generation. i still write letters. don't hold it against me, charlie kirk. best of luck to you. >> thanks, stu. stuart: we're following the rally. nike is up four bucks at $100 a share. kristina at the exchange, what have you got on nike? >> the reason you're seeing that pop right now, 4% higher. nike, $100 a share, analysts bullish on the stock. jpmorgan specifically saying this is a buying opportunity. they say heading into the next few months you're seeing improved products as well as nike innovation. the reason they increased, calling it a buying opportunity. you have ubs, analysts at ubs putting it as a buy. that's why you're seeing the pop. as long as we're talking about retailers let's look at macy's. shares of macy's are higher today, $16.48. that is really having to do with losses from last week. we know there were steep losses across the board. no analyst report -- we know macy's struggling for some time. this is rebounding from the loss of last week's shares. they were trading much lower on friday. back to you. stuart: thanks very much, kristina. all the excitement of the super bowl seemed to be too much for one fan caught taking a nap in the first quarter. i can't see him. i think we have a video. ashley: take our word for it. stuart: it was expensive nap. take my word for it. we'll look at some of this year's stand out super bowl commercials for you. there will be more "varney" after this. ♪. ♪ ♪ everything your trip needs, for everyone you love. expedia. for everyone you love. at comcast, we didn't build the nation's largest gig-speed network just to make businesses run faster. we built it to help them go beyond. because beyond risk... welcome to the neighborhood, guys. there is reward. ♪ ♪ beyond work and life... who else could he be?

>> that is a big word, pandemic. that spreads more fear. we're not quite to pandemic yet. we have enormous out break in china regions around wuhan. the problem i see, despite two hospitals being built, they're running out of supplies and containment is still difficult. there are skyrocketing number of cases. part of that is they are able to diagnose them earlier. i think many thousands of cases were never diagnosed. higher than we thought but less deadly than we thought initially. stuart: more contagious than the sars outbreak? >> definitely at this point more contagious than the sars outbreak. stuart: will it expand to greater numbers of people than sars? >> already there. already more than sars. i will tell you what is very important here. here is the headline. our public health officials here in the united states, elsewhere in the world have done a great job trying to isolate, identify, contain this, looking whoever was in charge, whoever that was contacted by someone that got sick or may have been in contact with the virus. that is working so far. that is why there is only left 11 cases. the idea of quarantining people coming into the united states, american citizens returning this is a very good idea. there is one or two week period of time where you may not show symptoms. the idea of closing borders, not letting people here in the regions unless they have family members here in the united states may be controversial, but from a public health point of view i think it is a very good idea. stuart: what sounds like good news for people with peanut allergies. there is, fda approved a drug that could potentially, i don't know whether eliminates the the allergy or treats it in some way. what does it do? >> it ameliorates the allergy giving it a tiny bit of peanut over time, with probiotics that populate the gut with better bacteria. the theory is peanut allergy occurred because of overuse of antibiotics or vaccines. something that sterilized the gut caused the allergy in the first place. we introduce peanut bit by bit. causes body to get more used to it so you don't have the same reaction. it isn't a matter of itchiness. more you don't want somebody in the hospital with anaphylaxis or life-threatening situation. this will end up preventing that. stuart: we were talking earlier 20 or 30 years ago i never knew anybody who had a peanut allergy. never heard of it. all of a sudden it arrives. is that because of the overuse of antibiotics? >> that is part of it. we also don't play in the dirt anymore like you and i did. we're in air-conditioned cars all the time, our studios. before we were out playing with each other and we were getting dirty. so we were exposed to germs at much earlier age. stuart: is that right? >> i believe that is the case. stuart: why you have allergic reaction, allergies phase? >> allergies are connected to immune system. if the immune system goes haywire, not used to seeing a germ, bam, you get allergy. stuart: moral of the story, bet your kids out playing in the dirt. >> don't use antibiotics. overuse of antibiotics. stuart: thank you very much, dock seeing he will if. dow industrials are up 340 points right now. down at the new york stock exchange, uh-oh, i hear the organ music. kristina partsinevelos, what is with jcpenney?

the reason he had all the cities compete, he saw what happened with tesla getting is $.4 billion from nevada for the battery factory they built. elon musk pitted five states against each other with the people, government officials, trying to get ahead of each other offering the best to get thousands of manufacturing jobs. stuart: can't blame the guy for wanting to get the same incentive elon musk got. what is that? susan: boeing got 7.1 million from washington state. stuart: i don't blame jeff bezos going after that as well. michael bloomberg, president trump spent what, $10 million at least on super bowl ads last night. so far in total, bloomberg spent 200 million-dollars plus on campaign ads. come on in "mediabuzz" host howard kurtz. it seems to be working. he is buying his position moving up in the polls. ironic democratic party hates big money in politics, bringing huge money into politics. what do you say? >> other democratic candidates are attacking bloomberg buying the nomination. i've been skeptical of the bloomberg candidacy, but the super bowl ads underscore he is the only guy that can compete with the president in a campaign. stuart: most of this money, $200 million, isn't that going to the tv stations all around the country, is specially in iowa? >> a lot of tv stations and networks will get rich off mike bloomberg's money. i won't say he is successful. he has gotten to eight or 9%. he is not competing in first four states. more significant was the spat between the president and former mayor of new york city where the president both in his super bowl interview with sean hannity on twitter, calling him mini mike, bloomberg denies it he is asking for a box to stand on when he gets in the democratic debates. bloomberg calling donald trump a liar. the spokeswoman making fun of the president's hair, weight, spray-on tan. a lot of people not the wanted to get into the don rickles of american politics. that may be a risky strategy. stuart: may be. i wonder if the president has met his match. i don't think he has. that is just my opinion. here is another one for you, the democrats complain about the president's style, complain a lot, he is rude, his language, tone, tenor, that he is unfit for the presidency but listen to this, from over the weekend. roll tape. >> those people politicians are all [bleep] believe me you will be hearing that. your job today is as knock on doors to say to people, it is not good enough anymore to complain. >> i can't be quiet, no. we're going to boo. that's all right. haters will shut up on monday when we win. >> the dnc will not allow cory booker on that stage. will not allah julian castro on that stage. but they're going to allow mike bloomberg on the stage because he has a billion [bleep] dollars. stuart: okay. sounds like a double standard to me. criticize the president for his language, come up with your own yourself? >> what bernie said didn't particularly bother me. he running for president. you say things. actually the most significant, last two, particularly congresswoman rashida tlaib, she talked about, we're going to boo, talking about booing hillary clinton. nobody likes bernie. shows you a division in the democratic party at precisely the time you think, they're running against each other but coming together to try to defeat donald trump. instead there is a lot of racially charged squabbling going on i think is not helpful to the dems. stuart: a full-scale fight. wait until mike bland berg takes takes -- mike bloomberg takes the nomination. >> we will. stuart: you heard it here on "varney." thanks for joining us. a guest coming up who says google is lying about political bias. we'll let him make the case on the show. he our guest will be with us shortly. there's a company that's talked to even more real people than me: jd power. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. we're gonna need a bigger room.

"the daily caller" associate editor and author of that book, the manipulators. peter, says, google it does not have a bias, it does not have a left-wing bias. explain to our viewers why you think it has? >> it is a absolutely not true that google does not have a bias. i obtained all sorts of documents in my book that really just hammer home, that a lot of conservatives worst fears about these tech companies are true. you know, for example, i obtained documents showing calls about demonization, or things like that are made by people in the pr department which google has not presented it. i obtained other documents showing google employees organizing anti-trump protests using company resources which is not something anybody, you know, to the left of bernie sanders get get away with at google. stuart: so what is the outcome here? if you can show that yes, there is a bias against conservatives, is that a concern to regulators going forward? could regulators do anything about this? is this significant in any case that could be made against google? >> well i mean it is definitely something i think, everybody needs to be aware of and to take a look at. because it's, you know, something that impacts how everybody gets their information. even if you don't have regulators taking a look at it, it is still something that your average person certainly should be aware of and concerned about. these are just a couple of many, many examples of how these tech companies are biased that i show in the book. it is really, really, concerning stuff in there. stuart: peter, i have got to run. i'm real short on time. thanks very much for being with us. i would point out to our viewers despite what peter has to say, despite what is in the book, the stock this morning is up 34 bucks. this thing is on a charge, on a tear. it is valued at over a trillion dollars. it report this is afternoon. we have a new bill, this is hard to believe, we got a new bill that would ban new york pet stores from selling animals. ash? ashley: dogs, cats, rabbits. instead this bill would have the pet stores selling rescue and shelter animals. the main reason being they're trying to stop the puppy mills to pet store pipelines. they say, they're created from suffering, these puppy mills. animals produce also suffer. they are sick. they want to take that away completely. sheltered and rescue animals would be adopted within a pet store. they can also continue to sell food, toys, beds but not the pet itself. what does the american kennel club think about this? stuart: not much. ashley: totally opposed to it. would put dog breeders and retailers out of business. they say there are reputable breeders who want to buy purebred dogs. puppy mills, dogs exploited in pet stores, coming out of committee, going to the legislature today. it is interesting. stuart: is interesting. i see point on both sides. fair enough. turns out tom brady pic, him walking out, that one there, it was actually a plug for hulu saying, i'm not going anywhere. that is what he had to say? susan: relief for new england patriots fans. that was the caption and instagram post he had before the super bowl ad. people thinking 42 years old, is retiring? is he going to another team, getting paid more? no apparently in the super bowl ad, i'm not going anywhere. hulu this is brilliant for them, they need to lift their subscribership. they only have 28 million subscribers, compared to netflix which has 150 million. apple signed up 10 million in in the first day. hulu is not still profitable. get tom brady to treat controversy and panic. stuart: i don't know what that means, i'm not going anywhere? does that mean he is not staying with the patriots -- susan: not retiring. ashley: that is all we know. susan: most likely staying with the patriots. stuart: president trump unleashed on speaker pelosi over her handling of impeachment. you better take a look at this. roll tape. >> i think she is a very confused, very nervous woman. i don't think she wanted to do this i think she knew what would happen. her worst nightmare happened. i don't think she will be there too long. stuart: has the impeachment circus helped president trump? i will ask trump 2020 press secretary kayleigh mcenany. i am sure she says it has. health and human services secretary alex azar, i want to know if america has a handle containing the virus. more "varney" after this. ♪. oh, hi, samantha. you look more like a heather. do you ever get that? it's nice to finally meet you in person. you're pete nocchio? oh, the pic? that was actually a professional headshot. i'm sure that's it, yeah. i, uh, i think i've lost a few pounds recently too. i'm actually doing a juice cleanse. wait! you don't... (glass breaking) (gasp) ah! oh...! with geico, the savings keep on going. just like this sequel. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. about being a scientist at 3m. i wanted them to know that innovation is not just about that one 'a-ha' moment. science is a process. it takes time, dedication. it's a journey. we're constantly asking ourselves, 'how can we do things better and better?' what we make has to work. we strive to protect you. at 3m, we're in pursuit of solutions that make people's lives better. stuart: have you ever seen a political party in such a mess. the democrats are fighting each other and it is a very nasty and public fight. they're terrified that an unelectable socialist will win the nomination and in comes a multi-billionaire to buy the nomination of the party that is supposed to hate big money in politics. this disarray is surely unique in recent presidential politics. today, the iowa caucuses supposed to point the way forward towards a single nominee, but it's not going to give the clarity they need. they changed the rules, the democrats changed the rules. they might end up with two winners. the vote count winner and the delegate count winner. it's complicated. bernie is surging and that has produced apoplexy in the party. hillary has gone public, nobody likes him, she says. john kerry is overheard saying the democrats will be torn apart if bernie wins. that's why they changed the rules for the next debate, so mike bloomberg can get on the stage. joe biden doesn't look so good, so they have turned to a multi-billionaire to be the great moderate hope. some moderate. he's just introduced a $5 trillion tax hike plan. isn't it ironic, though, the party that hates big money is now turning to a man worth $60 billion to buy them out of trouble. so here's the democrats. they have lost on impeachment, they have lost on prosperity, a socialist leads their presidential ambitions. that's reopened the split that hurt them in '16 and they turned to the billionaire class, who they constantly reviled. it is not a happy party. and president trump seems to be enjoying all of it. roll this. >> i have to sit back and watch. i mean, i'm watching and i have little nicknames for all of them but -- >> i'm sure they love your nicknames. >> but they're accurate. i mean, they're very accurate. look at sleepy joe. what's going on with him? he's having a hard time. you look at bernie. i call him crazy bernie. they now, they're sort of rigging the election against him again. i see what's going on. they're rigging it against him. stuart: that was the president from his super bowl interview with sean hannity. elizabeth macdonald is with us, host of "the evening edit." what do you make of the state of the democrats? liz: it's really stunning. we have been watching this kind of unwind go for about two years now. it's like they didn't get their wake-up call from the last decade when the democrats started losing state legislatures starting around 2011, and that trend is now moving apace. cook political report says this is total chaos, this is likely the weakest field since 1972. president obama had said don't do the circular firing squad. now the democrats are shooting at each other underneath the same tent. even the "new york times" can't make up their mind who the nominee is. i think what's happening is this. the reason that the field is split is because voter polls show that they are split away from the democrats. they don't like what the democrats are selling. you look at the battleground voters, the labor base is very strong, the labor base likes their health coverage. they don't want -- they have higher health coverage rates than the national average. the democrats are saying take that away. the democrats are campaigning, take away the electoral college, abolish it, but they are going into the states, the small minority states that need the electoral college to represent them. the democrats keep selling gloom and doom, recession is coming in. i want to ask them have any of you sold your stocks? right? stuart: if you think a recession is coming, why not unload your stocks. ask them. liz: they are selling this culture of victimhood, it's not aspirational because they are like the government can fix everything. they act like there's more catholic saints in government than in the catholic church. and they doubled the debt under president obama, right, and what happened? right? so you got everything you wanted under that presidency and what happened? but they want more of the same. i think it's a mess. i think voters are seeing it. voters are aspirational. they fought for themselves for their own financial achievements and they didn't go to the government for a handout. that's who the democrat party used to be. stuart: art laffer, former reagan economic adviser. art, i don't see -- sorry, there you are. i don't see anybody on the left, bars and tone right there. it should be art laffer. we'll get him. i promise you. i don't see anybody on the left, there you are, i don't see anybody among the democrats who can keep this economy going. i don't see anybody with a plan for growth of any kind. >> they can't have it, stuart, because the far left, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders, and their proposals, are pulling all the other democrats to try to co-op some of their support. and what has happened is it pulled everyone to the left and the democrats should be extremely worried about that, by the way. stuart: would you say the same of mike bloomberg? look, you critiqued the far left and most of the standard democrat candidates. what do you say about bloomberg? i think we lost him. we lost him. sorry about that. let's go back to elizabeth. hold on a second. i'm going to switch subjects for a moment. i want to talk about the virus. the virus is not contained by any means. you've got, what, 17,000 cases worldwide, 300 odd deaths in china. what impact is this having on our market? i would say not that much. liz: not that much. there's concern about the global markets, of course, because of the supply chains in china. they are using hiv drugs now to treat it. that's the reports coming in. you know, it is a game changer. it is more virulent than sars. sars was only contagious when you show symptoms. we have had multiple doctors warning about that. so it's different from -- it's more aggressive, more aggressive than sars. yes, the economy of china is much bigger than versus the sars era but chinese people are much more mobile. this is crossing borders. it's now in 20 countries. so it is a game changer. stuart: i just want you to listen to what larry kudlow, the white house chief economic adviser, here's what he had to say about the virus impact on our economy. this is what he said last thursday. roll tape. >> this is principally a public health problem and the pandemic, of course, is in china. not the united states. number two, insofar as the economy, we see no material impact on our economy. we've gone back and looked at the sars episode in the early 2000s. there was no material impact. stuart: no material impact on the economy but that was thursday. liz: yes. stuart: i put it to you we really don't know what impact we have on this economy until we know how long this is going to go on for. how much it slows down china's economy. liz: right. it's the continuation of it. so we looked at market reaction in other pandemics. this can conceivably be called a pandemic. the market has snapped back. it's really about china's economy. if you are talking about a one percentage point to the downside in china growth, you are talking about a $14 trillion, $15 trillion economy, that's a big hit. when you see people in haz/mat suits, when you see countries like mongolia, russia now hong kong shutting borders with china, you have to say what exactly is going on inside china. i find it no small irony that china is censoring and shutting down social media but it will not shut down its live animal markets that grotesquely abuse animals where a lot of these pandemi pandemics, vectors have come out of these markets. we are talking mers, sars, coronavirus, swine flu. it's a real brand image hit to china right now. it's an enduring impact, i think a game changer for china itself. stuart: when can i see you on tv? liz: 6:00. be doing it tonight. also with neil cavuto covering the iowa caucus. stuart: that's right. of course. thanks, liz. good stuff. in a few moments, we have alex azar with us, secretary for health and human services. i want to know if america now has a handle on the virus right here in america. quick stock check. look at google, for example. profits reported after the bell today. that thing's gone straight up. investors must be expecting a really solid report because we are $40 higher. i think that's a new high for google. $14.73. amazon, big rally last week. their u.s. work force now tops a half million. first time we have ever seen that. the stock's up $25. they must now be one of the top three or four employers in the united states. mike bloomberg, he's already spent $200 million on ads and president trump is going right after him. wait until you hear what the president said about bloomberg needing a box to stand on in the debates. ouch. the trump campaign coming up on that. tomorrow, we will hear the president's third state of the union address, which trump are we going to see? unleashed or -- and hammering the democrats or a unifying commander in chief? i'm going to ask sean spicer. today, though, iowans vote for their democrat nominee and we are talking to the head of the state's republicans. do they have anything up their sleeve, especially if bernie wins? the third hour of "varney & company" just getting started. ♪ stuart: yeah. the coronavirus outbreak. i need the latest numbers. give them to me. ashley: let's give them to you. they are changing all the time. there are web sites out there that track this. let's start with the actual number of reported cases, confirmed cases of coronavirus. it's 17,000. we have 489, it's gone up four since we last put this graphic together. want to give you that idea. it also has the number of deaths at 362. i just want to get back to that 17,000 number. all but 183 are on mainland china. so 17,306 are actually in china. that gives you a little bit more of a sense. 362 deaths in total and as you can see, this map here, some 27 countries, many reporting just a few. here in the united states we have 11 confirmed cases, 10 in germany, 12 in australia, 20 in japan, the highest among those outside of china. it's interesting, all the way down to sri lanka, finland, sweden. it's certainly getting out there but still, the focus is on mainland china. stuart: interesting. is that a story of containment, i wonder? i don't know. ashley: because of the, you know, incubation period is quite long, we don't know. stuart: we don't know. that's the point. lauren, china is accusing the u.s. of fearmongering? lauren: yeah, they are. it's interesting, as they do that, you all go out and buy protective masks and are accusing us of doing certain things. bloomberg is reporting that china is asking the u.s. now, after those accusations, of flexibility in what we pledge with the phase one trade deal. that agreement was sealed january 15th and there was a clause in it. that clause states that the u.s. and china will consult in the event that a natural disaster or other unforeseeable event delays either from complying with the deal. stuart: that's very interesting. there's some pushback from china. they want something. do we give it. ashley: it seems to fit what's in the agreement. stuart: it's in the agreement. i want to bring in health and human services secretary alex azar to give us the rundown here. lots of questions here, mr. secretary. i wonder if you can answer them rapid-fire. do we know how this is transmitted? >> well, generally with any respiratory illness like this, it's going to be transmitted by people who are symptomatic and basically the aspirated spray would be it but this is a virus that i think you said earlier, we don't know what we don't know at this point. it's very important that we not rule things out at this stage, so we have seen some asymptomatic transmission, resp not coughing, don't have fever, able to transmit. that's why we keep taking prudent measures to protect the american public while we learn more about this virus. stuart: do we know the fatality rate? that would be if you got 1,000 cases, how many people die of those 1,000? do we know that, the fatality rate, yet? >> again, these are some of the uncertainties. right now we are seeing approximately a 3% to 4% fatality rate among reported cases, but it's really important to remember that you are hearing reported cases might be those who present at hospital in china. you might have many, many others who aren't presenting or are unable to get into the system, or have low symptomatology so the common denominator might be unknown. we don't know what we don't know at this point. fatality rate, severity, incubation period, it's a level of uncertainty we still have to get to the bottom of. stuart: we have 11 confirmed cases in the united states. i will make the judgment that seems like a low number because there are 17,000 worldwide. what are we doing to keep it out of america and there is something more that you think we should be doing? >> well, as you said, the risk to any american is very low. we have only had these 11 cases and 9 of them were from individuals who actually had been in hubei province in wuhan and two of them were very close intimate contact of the other two -- of two of those individuals. so the risk to any american is very low. we are taking appropriate, measured, layered steps to keep the american public safe. the steps that we announced on friday regarding transit into the united states are temporary, they are very measured approaches, very titrated to the risk so we can focus our energies, use public health resources where they have maximum value. stuart: hold on for just one second, mr. secretary. lauren has news of gilead sciences testing what might be a new treatment for the virus? lauren: yeah. it's a promising treatment. it's reportedly being used on humans in wuhan. the new england journal of medicine says it was used on a u.s. patient, a 35-year-old, had promising results. citi analysts say this could be available very fast and could be a windfall for the drug maker. obviously, these sick patients would need this. stuart: of course. mr. secretary, your thoughts on this? >> well, that's one of the potential products that is a potential therapeutic. there's a protocol for using that. i can't comment on any clinical trial results on that, but we through the nih and fda are working with many drug sponsors who have potential therapeutics that they may be able to use to help patients here. we are going to be deploying an all of government approach to make sure anything is available as quickly as possible if it shows clinical benefit. stuart: your biggest challenge is surely no panic amongst the american public. avoid it at all costs. correct? >> absolutely. what i would like the american public to know is that their whole of government is focused on keeping them safe. the risk is very low to americans here, but our job is to work to try to keep it low through appropriate, measured steps. stuart: got it. mr. secretary, always a pleasure. thank you for being on today. very important day indeed. thank you, sir. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: sure thing. we've got the market up 240. check tesla. you better check tesla. whoa. now they are up $77 at $727 per share. elon musk is holding a hacking marathon? what? at his house? he's warned of the dangers of artificial intelligence for a long time. i don't understand that. hacking marathon at his house. i have no clue what that's all about. the stock is up $77. ashley: is he hacking other sites? stuart: no idea. that came right out of the blue right there. check apple, too. they are closing stores in china because the virus. they're not spreading out their -- they are spreading out their -- they are not spreading out their production to vietnam to fill the gap in production? i believe they were. okay. let's sort that one out. stock is up two bucks. we've got our eye on everything 2020. mike bloomberg just released an outline of his new tax plan. can you guess where this is going?

reporter: he wants to raise $5 trillion in taxes and it's not going to go to pay down the national debt. the presidential hopeful michael bloomberg has plans for those monies. he plans to use it to pay for a number of proposals like revamping health care, his trillion dollar infrastructure plan and education reforms, among other items. his planned targets, corporations and the wealthiest of americans so the increases, he wants to put back the top tax rate at 39.6% from 37% which is what it is now, reversing the president's job cuts or tax cuts and jobs act. bloomberg would then add a 5% tax on people making more than $5 million a year. he wants to levy those more taxes on corporations, heavy on the rise of -- including rising the corporate income tax rate for corporations from 21% to 28%. bloomberg will then toughen the estate tax as well as making capital gains taxes the same as income tax for people worth more than $1 million a year. worth more than a million. have to figure out the calculation for the worth of someone. now, the name of his game as you know, increased revenue for the federal government through taxes, taxes, taxes. stuart: may i say this. i know what the name of his game is. hey, i have made my pile but you ain't going to make yours. that's the way it is. reporter: he has said, though, he knows he's going to pay more under his plan and he's okay with that. stuart: yeah. whoopy-di-do. thank you, edward lawrence. tomorrow the president gives his third state of the union address. what's he going to say?

you got a problem with that? ashley: i do. we lost 100 points. want to know where it went. stuart: it's a modest rebound after friday's big drop. yes, it is because of the virus. let's be honest here, the virus continues to ravage china. no question about it. trish regan is here, the host of "trish regan primetime." look, i think this is a tale of two countries, actually. the united states is open, democratic, and we have 11 cases. we've got a handle on this thing, by the looks of it. china, a communist dictatorship, is breaking out all over. they haven't controlled it. trish: right. they tried, think about it, they tried to keep it under wraps, right. this was first going down, i think that was initially part of the problem because we would confront that problem head-on. we are an open economy, we are an open market, we are an open press. there's no way you can just sweep it under the rug. china didn't deal with it really until it had to deal with it once it became such a big threat. so that's the reality of it. i think people should remember, the market should remember it's in china right now. we have some cases here but it's still primarily a china problem. stuart: i think xi jinping is in real trouble. he's got the taiwan problem, he's got the hong kong problem, he's got the belt and road problem and now he's got this virus. trish: you can add to that, the trade problem, right? that donald trump has dumped on him in that xi jinping didn't really have to worry about, other administrations and other people in the u.s. speaking up and saying the trade deal isn't fair, so when you combine all of it, yeah, he's got some issues. look, he doesn't have to get elected, so he's got that going for him, i guess. stuart: he's very brittle. when you have all the power, you've got all the responsibility. when there's a chink in the armor and you're brittle, it can break your authority easily. trish: it would be nice, i'm going to say this, it's a little controversial, but i would like to see china break, because i think that china, if we don't recognize that for the threat that it is, you fast forward 20 years, 40 years, we run the risk of turning into france, they're the next usa. if you think about it, in some ways china's akin, not exactly the same, but akin to what the u.s. was during reagan's time. so we are putting a lot of pressure -- a lot of that is they have done it to themselves in china. coronavirus is just another example of that. but they have a problem and if he cannot manage all this, you are going to see a big uprising, the people will say enough, enough, it doesn't work. stuart: it's very hard to keep 100 or 200 million people under wraps, locked down for fliany length of time. trish: five million people got out of the city, the epicenter itself. the mayor went on to cctv which is state owned and controlled so this was kind of a remarkable interview, and he said five million people got out. he admitted to it. i think that's a good example right there of some politicians in china saying you know what, this is bigger, this is bigger than the state. we need to speak up. stuart: okay. when can i see you on television? trish: you can see me every single night except for tonight. i'm going to take a break because iowa is going on. i will be back tomorrow night with commentary after the state of the union, so 11:00. but normally, every single night, 8:00 p.m. eastern. stuart: you got a day off. my goodness me. trish: well, i'm here. i got to spend it with you and that is definitely a plus. stuart: lucky you. trish, thank you very much indeed. see you soon. all right. now, president trump delivers i think it's his, yes, his third state of the union tomorrow night. the theme will be great american comeback, relentless optimism, an inclusive economy and the blue collar boom. we know that's going to be in his speech on tuesday night. look who's here. sean spicer. i'm going to ask him the following. i hope that the president goes after the democrats and hammers them. they have been knocking our country, bad-mouthing him and our country for three years. i don't think he should let them off the hook. >> i disagree. sorry. stuart: what's wrong with you? >> i will take my market advice from you, but no, no, listen, you and trish tell me where to invest my money, i will listen. here's the thing. he's got a great story to tell. he's got a great talk of what he's done for the economy, in trade, in foreign policy. all these areas where not only did he keep his promise but the results are there to show. i think that what he wants to do is use his captive audience, the state of the union is like no other opportunity. you've got a captive audience of the entire country watching every single thing you say. you've got the entire congress sitting there having to watch what you say. he has an opportunity to remind people where we were, where we have come to, and where he wants to take us. that's a very very unique opportunity. those moments in convention speeches and others that are innately political are times to go after your political opponent. this is one where he can get up there with nancy pelosi sitting behind him, having to stare at him talk about here's what the economy is, here's how many people have been lifted out of poverty, here's how many people are off food stamps, and she's got to sit there and inherently that's a contrast with the policies that her and her party, who continue to go to the far socialist left, have. so i think this is an opportunity for him to take the high road, to talk about it frankly, every one of his state of the union and his first joint address speech i think have been his best of his presidency. so this one is a really good opportunity. so for all those people who are out there who don't tune in every day, they finally get to tune in and they listen and they go you know what, he's right, my life is better, things have improved, the military is stronger, veterans are -- stuart: look -- >> are you with me now? stuart: i see your point. i think it is good politics, a good political strategy to do what you -- but i'm so angry at the way we have all been bad-mouthed all these years -- >> politics sometimes is like investing. don't get emotional about it. make the right decision. i think in this case, this is the right decision. in business, you don't get your head wrapped around a stock -- stuart: not only does he disagree with me about the state of the union speech, he's telling me how to invest now. >> i think part of the market is reacting to the pmi falling out of the chicago exchange. stuart: what? >> i don't know. i heard charles payne. i don't even know what that means. stuart: all right. let me show you a headline from the "new york times." this is standard media stuff. it said look, while stained in history, trump will emerge from trial triumphant and unshackled. >> un shackshackleunshackled. if trump has been shackled the last three years, imagine what unshackled looks like? holy smokes. look, they can't ever say anything nice so it's sort of hey, this was not a good experience but he's better now. anyone normally would look at this and say well, if you came out stronger and better, then it wasn't that bad of an experience to begin with. they are trying -- they can't say something really nice so this is the best way they can. i get a kick out of the fact if you are at the "new york times" and you think trump has been shackled for the last three years, you might want to buckle up. stuart: they might not have seen that interview with sean hannity right before the super bowl. the box question. i kind of like. i'm just waiting for the "new york times" to come up with some next, what was it, a bombshell tomorrow morning. >> you know the funny thing, i jokingly said if you are a democrat running for president, you could save money by getting any opposition research. every single thing that people -- people know everything about trump and if you think you are going to throw some bombshell out there about something in his past that will change what viewers think of him, you're nuts. they either like him or don't. they are impressed with the economy and the way the country is doing. the fact of the matter is he has a record as president that is pretty damn impressive and i don't think it will be easy for a lot of these democrats who are vying for this position in iowa to come out and make the case that somehow they've got this bombshell report that's going to make people think differently of the president. stuart: i'm just speculating. >> you're right but they keep throwing stuff at him. this, they used the biggest political tool they had in the toolbox, impeachment, and instead of coming out weaker he comes out stronger. you have more independents coming his way. it's hardened his base. they have thrown everything but the proverbial christmas sink at the guy. stuart: you have been persuasive, sean spicer. >> i should have been in sales or something. stuart: you are a good man. thanks for being here. see you soon. saudi arabia considering a big cut in oil production because and in response to the virus. look at that. they want to cut production, the price goes down? ashley: it does. for now. because they're not sure what to do. the saudis will either cut a million barrels a day to try and jolt the market, or collectively with the rest of the opec countries try to reduce by half a million barrels a day. either/or, there's a split in what to do. we can say that crude has just been really hurt, down 15% over the last four weeks. just looking at west texas today, flirting with below 50. it's $50.32. down another 2% today. this really hurts. by the way, hurts the frackers in this country because it doesn't become economical to do what they do. it's getting to the point where it's very concerning. stuart: exxon and chevron both down very sharply. we have come back to a mere 200 point gain. next, michael bloomberg, the president set his sights on the other new york billionaire over the weekend. not because of his wealth but because of his height. we will show you, we will tell you exactly what he said and get the reaction from the trump campaign, too. joe biden, snapping at another reporter. we've got the sound and we will play it for you in a moment. first, we've got to roll this. >> we choose truth over facts. >> why should people want to make a change, though?

>> we got to stop [ inaudible ]. >> whomever i pick, it's two things. one, is capable of me being president because i'm an old guy. ♪ stuart: well, mike bloomberg has introduced serious big money into this election cycle, and he's done it very very quickly. how much has spent so far? lauren: i'm calling this his down payment. $200 million in just five weeks to buy his place on the stage, if you will. it's actually working. he could be in the next debate. most of this $200 million is in tv advertising and it's working. he is rising in the polls. remember that company, the tech company, they can get great content out there in ads, it was $12 million alone. he employs 1,000 people in 35 states. he pays them a pretty penny. so that's just what we know that he spent because that's what's been filed for. obviously the number is bigger than that. stuart: the point is it's worked. he worked his way up in the polls, he's making it onstage in the next debate february 7th. lauren: friday. stuart: good lord. president trump took aim at bloomberg when he was interviewed by sean hannity right before the super bowl. listen to this. roll tape. >> michael bloomberg. >> very little. i just think of little. you know, now he wants a box for the debates to stand on. okay. it's okay. there's nothing wrong. you could be short. why should he get a box to stand on, okay? he wants a box for the debates. why should he be entitled to that? really, does that mean everyone else gets a box? stuart: i'm sorry, i did laugh when i first saw that. kayleigh mcenany, 2020 trump press secretary. kayleigh, should one candidate be making jokes about the physical appearance of his opponent? >> i would say ask michael bloomberg, whose spokesperson took to twitter and absolutely took president trump to task, shredding him on his personal appearance. i would direct that question to the bloomberg campaign. for president trump's part, he talked about boxes and getting an unfair advantage in a debate aesthetically at least. i think president trump has every right to defend himself and every right to respond. stuart: okay, but i think, you know, 100 million people probably saw that joke. you think it went down well with 100 million people? >> i do. i think a lot of people probably watched that and like you said, laughed at the thought of that, of wanting a box to stand on at the debate to increase your height, apparently. so i think most of america watched that, laughed before the super bowl started. stuart: hold on a second. i have another what i would call sometimes a cringe-worthy sound bite from joe biden. roll that tape, please. >> that's not true. you're saying things you do not know what you're talking about. no one said that. who said that? who said that? >> don't you think that it's just one of those things where people think well, that seems kind of sleazy, why would he have that job if not for who his father was? >> because he's a very bright guy. stuart: well, he's defending his son hunter biden there for his doings in ukraine. what do you make of this? >> yeah. a lot of very strange sound bites from joe biden. it's like we get one a day to work with. but you know, what's interesting about that sound bite is joe biden is saying oh, he didn't get this job, hunter didn't, just because of his last name when hunter biden is already on tape saying yeah, i wouldn't have gotten the job if my last name were not biden. so you have son contradicting father. it just goes to show what a mess the joe biden campaign is. stuart: kayleigh, tomorrow night, the state of the union address, i've gone on tv this morning saying hammer the democrats, please, mr. president, because they have been bad-mouthing us for three years. our colleague sean spicer says don't do that, that would be a bad political strategy. what say you? >> you know, i will leave that to the president. i know that tomorrow is going to be about talking about the great american comeback, the blue collar boom, paychecks rising for low and middle income americans, wages going up, jobs at historic lows, generational lows in unemployment. we have a lot of good to talk about tomorrow. we will see if the president decides to address the democrats but i think you will see a contrast between the achievements of this president and the antics of the democrats. stuart: you think the president wants to go up against bernie sanders or mike bloomberg?
