[laughter] >> the investing public needs to know we will get through this, we flip from pandemic to pandemonium at times on television. we will get through it. the markets are telling us that's what they think. there could be another selloff around the corner, who knows, that's a timing issue that the investment public needs to balance, not whether the world ends or not. stuart: okay, the market just wants to go up, i've been saying it for a long time, what say you now? >> i agree with that, so much money that needs to go number 1, number 2, we are doing our best, where he -- at length how the other economies are struggling. i liked the numbers that we got on friday, they were fantastic. but, you know what, we need to have something there if things don't go well, we are running skinny here, what i mean by that is 3.5 or 3.6% unemployment rate we should be doing better than 2% growth, we really should be. and the 1.6% 10-year doesn't make me feel really good, that's capital destruction level rather than the economy is doing well. i just want us to do a little bit there so if we do see downturn we have gun powder to play with rather than have skinny than to have supper on the board. stuart: who said business news is boring? individual stocks are moving right before the open, hasboro, toys from movies have made them a lot of money, look at underarm our, down 15%, that's 15%, weak holiday sales and they are predicting that the virus will hurt their 2020 business. amazon shares in record territory, that stock is up 15% this calendar year, that's just in 2020, susan li at the new york stock exchange, do you have an explanation as to why it's made extraordinary gain? >> there's a lot going right for the company, s, -- stu, record profit, you also find more prime members, 15%, 150 million prime members are shelling out $119 a year and don't forget this is what we call recurring revenue, you get regardless of how many products you actually sell, most of amazon's profit are coming from their division called amazon aws service, cloud-computing division and they grew 32% at the final months of last year, toys, the market share that microsoft currently owns at 32%, still, if there was weakness here it's about amazon and slowing growth, the average price start on the stu, you will like this, $2,400 and above. stuart: i loved it but i missed it. that's live, i guess. susan, we will be right back to you shortly. that's a promise. i do not want to down play this, it is a chronic and tragic human story, we have an update on it, china, what's this, they fired their two most senior health officials? >> well, by some accounts, warnings, beijing getting very tough now, the party secretary for the hubai health commission, head of the commission losing their jobs, deputy director of local red cross out for his -- what they say duty of handling of donations to party officials also been replaced by one national figure sent in from beijing, bottom line is, beijing getting tough because they are under increasing criticism by the way they've been handling this outbreak. stuart: i think they the deflecting criticism to individuals, deflecting criticism away from the communist system which to blaming part for this. ashley: classic beijing playbook, over 100 died yesterday, there's some sign of hope, the actual number of new infections down 20% from the day before, now the number we have now confirmed 43,138 and 118 deaths. stuart: new infections -- ashley: slowing down. stuart: good to read this stuff, dow is up 100, s&p 10, nasdaq 45. the trump administration cracking down on sanctuary cities,i call that another example of trump unlearned, he's going right at him. there's this, tensions at -- apprehensions at the u.s.-méxico border, down, comes trump hard line at work, bernie sanders 7,500 supporters in a rally in new hampshire last night, big production as you can see, that's a produced show, plenty of enthusiasm too. how does the rnc like that? we will ask. more varney after this. stuart: primary voting in new hampshire has begun, last night left-hand side of your screen, bernie sanders big rally, 7,500 people. it was durham, new hampshire with a little help from aoc as well, very well produce bid the way. gop chair rona mcdaniel is with us, bernie took a leaf out of your book, and very successfully, did he? >> bernie has had crowds, he's had energy, he's just a socialist which isn't going to play in a lot of the country when he talks about taking away people's healthcare. stuart: i hate to interrupt the rnc chair but i did it. before the 2016 election people said no way a business guy, a maverick like donald trump could possibly get elected and he was and they are the same things about bernie sanders now, there's no way a socialist can get elected, what do you say? >> i don't think a socialist can get elected. i mean, let's look at this, i think donald trump will get reelected because of what he's done, like you just talked about the economic numbers are so strong, 90% of americans feel good about where they are, they're better off than 4 years ago, unemployment rates at record low, the president has delivered and the president is going to get reelected because of what he's done in office. >> proof of him going after his opponents because he really is now trump unlearned, do you like it? >> well, i think the president deserves a little time to vent based on what he's gone through, being under investigation for 3 years looking at the abuses of fisa court, all the things that he dealt with the mueller report which was completely fabricated and now this impeachment hoax, i mean, i think he has a little right to vent, he was very optimistic last night. he has a record to run on but he pushes back and that's what people love about him. he speaks the truth. stuart: i would like him to go further on it, maybe i'm wrong politically or strategically, but i'm sick and tired of people bad mouthing the president, people like me, like our viewers, i want to see them go after them, i really, do i'm tired of it. i want to see not retribution but i want a firm response, go after them, mr. president. >> well, i think he will like it. nobody has had to deal with what the president has. it doesn't mean you attack the president of the united states year after year and trying to prevent to get things done and what have you done despite headwinds and obstruction is really remarkable. stuart: i will be facetious and sarcastic, the vote came in 3 out of 5, 3 write-in votes for mike bloomberg, i would ask how much it cost to buy those 3 votes. [laughter] >> i was saying earlier, median income just went up in dicksville knox, i have no idea. obviously hillary clinton won dicksville knox, i was waiting for the ground hog to come out. the president will win new hampshire and win nomination, he's to popular in our party, they love that he's fighting for the american people and that's why he's seeing unprecedented levels of support. stuart: have you spoken to your uncle lately? >> to soon. stuart: thanks very much. merger with print votes approval, both stocks straight up big time that would provide new competition, the company will create, both of the stocks a are up. just a little. >> this is what he promised news 2016, people can argue whether it's the right priority, it's important to know that while sanctuary cities may be focusing on a sort of virtue signaling and trying to criticize the president, what they are doing is going against decades of policy from presidents of both parties, you go back to when bill clinton signed immigration law, a lot in there about cooperation between federal and local law enforcement, obviously it's federal policy, national law but you saw that bipartisan consensus even more state officials and enforce our laws, is federal responsibility, it's not something states and cities can said policies, i think the president will have a good argument, really provides in many cases the bear minimum cooperation, the government would expect when it's lawfully enforcing the law. stuart: i think the president wins the politics of this. >> i agree. the notion that a city can died our national immigration policy or -- or not cooperate with federal law enforcement, i think most people would understand that choosing to opt out of assisting a lawful federal investigation is not really an option for most of us. stuart: good to see you again. this year's oscar a total ratings flop. [laughter] stuart: viewership at all-time low. i'm happy, i'm happy. i don't want people to be watching these people, the talented actors, they are not politicians, get off my set. get off my lawn too. here is a look at futures once i calm down, you will love, 140 points on the dow, oh, what a day, stay tuned. stuart: how many people watched the oscars sunday night when they got real political? ashley: fell to all-time low. the emmy's numbers were poor, 32% year over year, people are not interested in what actors are to say about politics. kind of poking fun at the oscars, the most famous people in the world. everyday hard working people, it has the opposite effect. he's right, when he -- stuart: he did the golden globes. >> come up here, thank your god, nobody cares about what you think about the world. stuart: i think we have made our point. dow is going up from the get-go this morning, up 140 points, the rally continues, we will take it to wall street after this. begin to tell you... how bright you shine. how strong you are. how brilliant... unique... how you're... my rock. my diamond. for the diamond in your life, there's only one diamond store. it's the valentine's day sale. get 25% off everything. including these special deals. at zales, the diamond store. but inside every etf... there are untold hours of careful construction... infinite "what ifs?" and contingency plans. creating funds that help target gaps in client portfolios. tap untapped potential. and strengthen confidence in you. flexshares. powered by over a century of investment expertise before investing consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. go to flexshares.com for a prospectus containing this information. read it carefully. for a prospectus containing this information. pnc bank has technology to help a pnc business line of credit, because sometimes inner peace requires a little external soundproofing. or pnc total auto. a place online to easily find and finance the right car for you. and your passengers. or pnc home insight, to search for a new house within your budget. hopefully with a grass yard. pnc - make today the day. stuart: this is a bull market, look at that, less than 2 minutes to go before we open up and we will be up, that will probably hold for the next couple of minutes, mike murphy is here, ashley webster, all together now. [laughter] stuart: hello. i think that the market is completely separated from the virus, what say you? >> it's looking past the virus, stuart, it's really bad for people that are getting it and dying out. ashley: slowing down of new cases reported out of china, it was down 20% which is encouraging. stuart: i don't want anybody to forget that this is a tragic human story. ashley: o yeah. stuart: a friend of mine has parents on board the princess -- diamond princess. ashley: you're kidding me? stuart: real trouble. ashley: australian couple ordered bottle of wine to the beat. they got it and drank it. stuart: dreadful human story but the rate of new infections is slowing down, so we are looking as a say, mike, we are looking past the virus toward the say that we can say it's winding down, that's why the market is ignoring the virus and we will go up significantly at the opening bell, we also have some very strong numbers on the economy. actually more to the point we have strong numbers from polls looking at how people feel about the economy. ashley: 59% felt good about where they are. stuart: americans say this is the best economy since late 1990's, that's the headline in washington post for heaven's say that. the market will rally 3, 2, 1. [bell] stuart: there you go, we are up and running, let's see how we open. left-hand side of the screen, right from the get-go all-time high for the dow, we are up 113 points out all the dow 30 being open, 29,400, i think that's a record high. 29,400. we are up nearly half percent. how about s&p 500? 3366 all-time high, nasdaq, 55-point gain, better than a half percentage point rally. i say it's a bull market. tesla, check that out, they've been on a wild ride recently, this morning they are up $4. 776, i want to see amazon, all-time. $2,840 a share, microsoft, this kills me, this absolutely kills me, i sold it at 159 and 3 weeks later at 190. i don't blame you, 190, record high for microsoft, google, all-time high, just moved off of a fraction, right now up a buck 63, they've just -- hr has just left, not apparently hurting the stock, boeing, now that's bounced off its lows, it's back to 345 as we speak right now. okay, let's get tesla, still up 80%, this calendar year 2020 it's up what, 80%, that's extraordinary. [laughter] stuart: you know the question -- mike: i do. stuart: i ask and you answer, will you touch it with 10-foot pole? >> i would not, a lot of people in mainstream are talk about tesla and what tesla is doing and whether they should be buying tesla because they are seeing hundred point swings in the stock, if you're not the stock jumping after 80% move in the last 6 weeks is typically not a good idea. i would not suggest -- stuart: i'm surprised from a man like you, premier electric car company in the world and you won't touch it. >> i want to get in -- i think the easiest, stuart, when you get good entry point and good price, after 80% rally -- >> stuart: i think you make the point. i will give you that one. ride-sharing stocks, we will look at lyft because they are ready to announce results after the bell today, susan, come into this, lyft, it was uber that rallied on a good earnings report, i'm not going to ask you what to expect from lyft this afternoon, but there's some talk that lyft could be bought, you know that? >> that's right, north coast researching says that lyft could be worth $60 a share as acquisition target by the self-driving car developer like the tesla and alphabets of this world but after the bell today we are looking to do better because uber did better last week beating in the earn education report but also saying they will get to profit outside expenses a little bit earlier than anticipated in the fourth quarter of this year and people are expecting lyft to do exactly the same, they are not dragged down by the cost associated with food delivery, you know lyft lost 2 and a quarter billion dollars over the last 3 quarters, had to lay off staff last year, 60 of them, they have told us that they will get profitability by 2021, people are looking for them to bring that forward or disappointment later on today. stuart: thanks, susan, let's look at the iphone maker foxcon are recalling workers to the factories in phases but they can't get all the workers to go to the work because the crack-down and lockdown in various parts of china but apple still up this morning, 1.22 higher on apple, yeah, there you go. up a buck 22, 322.77, i have a short correction to make, earlier i said that the dow opened with all-time record high, sorry, folks. ashley: yeah, needs to be up 131 points to get into new record territory. stuart: it actual went do -- it went to 29,401. ashley: 408. stuart: let's correct that. we lost a bit of the rally, we are up 70 points. there you have it, canada goose, can we get that up please? i have a bunch of price target downgrades, 70% of revenue comes from china, the stock is unchanged, i think it's been down before today, the parent of coach, tapestry, all stores in china are closed, ubs raised price target to $28 a share and that's where it is. okay, got that, that stock went up 50% after announcing that they were talking with rival simon property group, that deal would be valued at 3.6 billion, those stocks up, full disclosure, i bought some -- what did i buy? simon property group. >> did you really? >> t-mobile merger with sprint wins approval. both stocks up. that's a good indicater, 1.57%, gold was a flight to safety, moving out to tune of 3 bucks an ounce and oil, i'm always interested in this. >> up a little bit. stuart: $50 a barrel. okay, look at the average price for gas, you come back, 242, the price fall of 20 straight days, murphy, i know that you're not interested, that's a terrific shot in the arm for the economy. >> absolutely, no debating that. trading price of oil is tough but having cheaper gas in the country helps everybody. stuart: certainly helps me. it does, that's well said, all right, back to stocks making the biggest moves, yes, new all-time highs for amazon, microsoft and google, well actually microsoft is backed off, it wasn't 190, there you go, you mentioned it, those 3 are members to have trillion dollar club. >> yeah. >> now you didn't like tesla because it's too valuable. they're valuable, do you like any of that? >> i do, microsoft is the one we haven't owned for a long time, i will not recommend jumping into all-time high at 190, microsoft has switched, stuart, from when you got involved it was a software company and then hardware company and now it's really a cloud company, so multiples expand there, they get higher price multiples from investors for that, so i'm -- i'd love bit of a pullback in microsoft because i love what they're doing now. >> you call it the cloud stock? >> i do, that's the growth. stuart: interesting, only 3 big companies in play. ashley: amazon. stuart: amazon, google and microsoft, i think alibaba has a piece. the big players are in the trillion dollar club. all right, google's head of human resources stepping down, tension among employees is that -- ashley: she's stepping down but reassigned we understand it by the end of the year, but, look they've had employees walk out over the sexual harassment claims and executiving leaving with big payouts that was a problem, working with the defense department, that upset some workers, remember that plan to create a sense add conversation of search engine in china, never happened but that upset a lot of google employees, there's been a lot of unrest in the rappings as they say, so this individual aileen norton stepping down to be be re -- reassigned. >> they figured out the best way to collect advertising dollars to use them, use them profitable, so i think it's a company that looking out to 2 to 3 years you can still massive growth from alphabet. stuart: all the talk about regulations and breaking then you -- up, you just don't hear it. they have faded away. >> the big-tech companies, the bigger they get, amazon has done a good job avoiding it, the bigger you get you will hear talk about from either one side of the aisle, but the company still keeps producing, so that's what an investor wants. stuart: are we going to break up the crown jewels, are we going to do that? quite a question. ashley: beg debate. stuart: you know what, mike, is that time, it's time for you to leave. >> always a pleasure. stuart: check the big board, we lost much of the rally, sorry to say that, okay, we are up 60, we have been up well over what 130, 140 points. 29,300 is the level. new study, small business owners prefer mike bloomberg to president trump, what is going on with that? well, we will cover the story for you, speaking of mr. bloomberg he won dicksville knox in new hampshire with 3 write-in votes out of the 5, does that mean anything at all, bloomberg's campaign adviser, he's in the 11:00 o'clock hour, how much did the 3 votes cost? yesterday president trump touted our economic success to a group of governors at the white house, one of them is at our hour next hour. better watch this. roll tape. >> and i think there's a way that we beat donald trump is to remember he's the enemy, right. stuart: what, the enemy. we have the rest of what senator warren had to stay and steve hilton will be coming up to comment, we will be back. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. with our moving and storage solutions. pack what you want, we store it for as long as you want. then, we deliver it where you want, so whether you need to move or store your things, pods is here to help you with flexible moving and storage solutions. she is on her way to our house. what?

[laughter] stuart: okay. joining us steve hilton, the host of the next revolution on fox news. i think she's going to lose. >> that's the cries of a desperate woman. she's clearly lost to bernie sanders in mini primary for the real lefty vote, i don't like the word moderate, by the way, none of the candidates are moderate, they are all far to the left of where obama or even hillary clinton was in 2016. she's lost to bernie sanders, revealing her own hypocrisy literally within the same sentence there. these are the same people. one of my favorite moments to have entire campaign so far was the video from last week, did you see it of elizabeth warren getting off the private jet. stuart: i did. >> railing against climate change and embarrassing example of hypocrisy, she can't even hide that. stuart: i think the guy is on the roll, the power of spending $300 million. >> the really interesting business angle to his rise, there's a bit of self-interest here for us, if you are trying to sell ads, tv network, the bloomberg story should be the case study, that should be the first chart of your sales presentation for the next 10 years. spend money on tv in a couple of weeks he's gone to 15% in the polls. stuart: isn't it interesting a man like bloomberg who knows the internet, he know it is world very well put 90% of hundreds of millions into television. >> television. everyone says it's dying, all over for tv. it's incredible, the power of that medium to get a message across, it's a really good case study if you're trying to build any kind of commercial brand. stuart: you know that he won dictionville knox? >> it's already working for him. it was a write-in. stuart: 3 out of 5 votes. >> he's on a roll. stuart: how much did each vote cost? >> a hundred million each based on what he has spent so far. stuart: a lot of money. >> he has a lot more. stuart: he does actually, when can i see you on television? >> sunday night at 9:00 eastern. >> okay, i will be there watching. you know i'm asleep at that time. >> dvr it if you know how that works. [laughter] stuart: steve, you're all right, thank you very much, indeed, sir, check the market because we still got a rally, it's not exactly robust as it was a few minutes ago but we are up nearly a hundred, 29371, there's this too, wework's chairman says it's totally false that former ceo adam neuuman left with a billion dollars. ashley: $1.7 billion, the number of months ago but apparently according to marcelo who is executive chairman of wework he says that's totally false although that said he does have a lot of shares of which he's able as founder oh cofounder of we work, office space sharing office he will be able to cash in the shares but bottom line is the current executive chairman might be close to well over a billion dollars. it's not going to be a poor day, let me point out, but maybe not as much as a billion. stuart: i happened to run into somebody that works at wework. enough. check the dow, a balance of winners and losers, overwhelmingly in favor of the winners at this moment and the dow is up 101 points, next case, new sanctions will be imposed on sanctuary cities. i think that's hardline trump at work, congressman andy biggs from the border state of arizona is up on that an even smarter, stronger investor. exactly. ♪(rocky theme music) fifty-six straight, come on! that's it, left trade right trade. come on another trade, i want to see it! more! ♪ 80s-style training montage? yeah. happens all the time. ♪ 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. [ fast-paced drumming ] stuart: attorney general bill barr announcing additional sanctions on sanctuary cities, congressman andy biggs, republican from arizona, to me this is trump unlearned, he's going after a favorite issue that's been bugging him for years, is this a win for trump? >> oh, absolutely, this is something long overdue, i'm grateful that we are doing this, stuart, we need to think about this, the ice detainers is actually a fraction of those who are illegally in the country, the sanctuary city policies are basically saying that if you're a criminal and we have arrested you for a crime, even though ice wants them for detainer, maybe they've already been ordered to leave the country, we are not going to give them to ice, we will release them back into your community until we see certain levels of mayhem and murder that has been taking place. >> i can't believe the people that live in sanctuary state california or cities, wherever, are comfortable with releasing criminals back into society. i thought president trump could win politics of this. >> i think so, there are people in every sanctuary city and state that say we don't want to do that, for example, tucson, they voted down a sanctuary city policy recently and the reason is you actually put your community in jeopardy, i think this is a win for the president politically and, you know, stuart, you and i talked about this, i don't know the logic is for keeping these people who are criminals or letting them back into your community, doesn't make sense. >> i don't get that. >> border apprehensions down 8 straight months and down 11% between january and december of last year, that's a big drop, andy, this is without much of a wall being built. >> yeah, here is the thing, we are taking that baseline from the highest ever which is about 150,000 apprehensions last may, so we keep coming down but the normal number we would like to see there is maybe 8 to 10,000, we would like to see none but apprehend 8 to 10, that's the normal number, 3 times the number rate of apprehensions, so social security still a -- it's still a significant problem and that's why we need the wall, if you're apprehensions 30,000 people, there's a lot of get aways and some people say there could be as high to 5 to 1, we are not quite sure because they are getting away, this is why it's great that it's going down but it's not where we want it to be yet. >> i think there's a new political dynamic out there and you're witness to it, andy, i'm out of time unfortunately but thanks for joining us as usual, we will see you again soon. here is a story which i don't quite understand and i'm not sure why i care about it but we are talking about at&t, no, we are not, dc comic's movie birds of prey, did at&t make it or something? ashley: warner brothers, there's the connection. stuart: 84 million to make it. ashley: came in with 33 million, way under what they wanted it to be and now the question is why? stuart: what it's it about? >> comic book character, hailey quinn, one of the -- holy quinn; sorry. teenage girls, this was r-rated movie which may have hurt the ability for some of those fans of the story line to get into the cinema, we shall see, 33 million is way under what it cost to make, close to $85 million, so there you go, no competition at the box office really this past weekend, it was disappointing. stuart: name is holy quinn. ashley: we have to get that right. stuart: cutting spending, he seems to be enjoying it too, no more mr. nice guy, mike bloomberg won knoxville knox, new hampshire, he go 3 write-in votes, how much did those votes cost him? i will ask him. more varney after this. . .

still an impressive number. stuart: okay. we welcome back to his true home, steve cortez. he is a senior advisor and spokesman. spent two years in the wilderness of siberia called cnn he is back. he has seen the light. he is back. steve, your reaction, enough of this. what are you going to say about the jolts report. >> i am back because i'm working for america first to help reelect this president, so these kind of economic numbers become the norm. i haven't gotten sick of telling the good news of the american economy and renaissance out there. i don't think the american people are tired of it. we have an economy we haven't seen in this country since the 1980s. i think in many ways we're harkening back to the days of reagan in terms of optimism, in terms of economic opportunity. this is glorious time to be an american. the statistics prove it. that is part of why i'm here to help reelect this president. stuart: stay here, young man. take a quick look at the market. we're back to 100 point gain. 108 to be precise. we have 6.4 million job openings. not as high as most people like to see. we would like to be back at seven million. ashley: right. stuart: we'll take it. the market did not sell off on that number. in fact it started to move up. the dow is up 111. 29,388. and now this. oh, it is the democrats worst fear, trump unleashed. it is happening. he. i unleashed the justice department to go after the sanctuary movement. unleashed budget bean counters, cutting spending. he has a new combative tone. he is enjoying it. watch this. >> we are the party of boundless optimism, excitement, energy and enthusiasm. we love people. our good republicans in the united states senate voted to reject the outrageous partisan impeachment hoax. in the house we won 196-0. then we got three democrats. in the senate, other than romney, we had -- [booing] we got 52-0. we have the highest poll numbers that we have ever had. thank you, nancy, very much. stuart: why shouldn't our president turn up the heat? for three years his opponents have dominated the national debate with contempt and frankly hatred. the media has been fueling, fueling the fire. well, they lost. mr. trump has ever right to come back strong. better yet, he has the most important election issue very much in his favor. that's the economy. the left fought him on this they opposed tax cuts. they didn't want to cut red tape. they lost that one. the economy took off. and now they pretend that the astonishing stock market rally is many so how bad. are you kidding me? tell that to the 55 million households with a 401(k). 35 million with an ira. tens of millions with a very nice retirement egg, thank you. nest egg that would be. the democrats didn't want a wall, didn't want i.c.e. deporting criminals. now trump unleashed. will put 2 billion into the wall. his justice department will start dismantling sanctuary cities and states. if they thought illegals liked republicans the democrats will be building the wall. personally i would like to see the president unleashed on all those who called him and us nasty names. america is not a racist, bigoted society. remember them of that. remind them of that forcefully. no more mr. nice guy, please, mr. president. that's what i think. president trump taking off the gloves as you saw right there, going for the knockout punch look who is with me, "wall street journal" editorial board member, former speechwriter for president bush, bill mcgurn and already introduced steve cortez. bill, to you first. trump unleashed. are you enjoying it as much as i am? >> i'm not sure democrats would say he was leashed much before. stuart: that's true. >> what is interesting, especially if you compare what he is saying, state of the union message, compare the state of the union, basically morning in america, reagan's re-election bid. we've done all the good things, the best is yet to come. it is very optimistic. you compare that with the democratic debate we saw friday, i don't think there was a single positive word about the private sector. how we're a fundamentally racist and sexist society. i don't think there was a single positive word about america other again the private sector. stuart: i think america in general is tired of the name-calling. >> they are. stuart: tired of that contempt. they don't like it. we don't like it any longer. >> right, well of course that was mrs. clinton with the deplorables. bernie sanders said almost the same thing. the other people have said variants of it. >> stuart, to that point, there is a split screen political scene. you have the president, american action, accomplishment, achievement. we certainly saw him properly boast that in his state of the union last week. on the other side you have beltway bloviators focused on attacking the president and the agenda. i'm so glad you brought up sanctuary cities by the way. i'm hispanic, son of an immigrant, let me tell you something illegal immigrants they can't stand the notion the democrats put forward that it is okay to come into the country to trespass into our country. on top of that if you trespass in our country, if you are a known dangerous criminal to hide in plain sight like so-called sanctuary cities like this one here in new york city. stuart: do you think the american people like to see our president forcefully going after his opponents? do they like it? >> yes. stuart: a criticism of president trump is the style, language, tone. >> stuart, this president was elected to be a fighter. he is a consummate counterpuncher. he is the floyd mayweather of politics. no one counterpunches better than president trump. he is best when he is fighting. that is why we elected him. we didn't elect him to tinker around the edges. we elected him to smash the political class of washington, d.c., that create the monstrosities of sanctuary cities. that is what we elected him to do. he doesn't drink but he is fine wine but getting better with age as the administration goes on. stuart: hold on a second. we have to check the market. we've gone back up some more. we're up 106 points, 29,383. we crossed 29,400 earlier today. but we're up 109 points. there you have it. quickly a couple individual stocks. hasbro, they reported this morning. toys from big movies like "frozen 2", "star wars," made them a lot of money over the holidays. they're up a buck 21, $102 a share. under armour, they reported weak holiday sales. they have virus worries that will hurt the business in 2020. look at that, under armour is down 17%. back to bill mcgurn still sitting next to me. glutton for punishment. you wrote an article, mayor pete is the man to beat. >> mayor pete is good in the debates. he sun flappable. he holds himself well. the democrats are looking around what is the guy's weak spot. the weak spot is his record. he talks about the south bend transformed. the closer you look the less good south bend looks especially for the african-american community which is quarter of the population there. stuart: is that the home of the fighting irish? >> yes it is. stuart: notre dame? >> yes it is. stuart: you know i once walked up to the bandleader of the notre dame brass band, a long time ago, i just arrived in america. i said my, that is wonderful high school marching band. englishman with english accent saying that to the fighting irish. i shouldn't have done it. >> probably wearing a bowler hat. stuart: this is 30 years ago. that is my south bend story. check this out, "gallup poll," sensational stuff, 59% of us, that would be americans say they're better off financially and 74% think things will get better here. steve, have at hit. that is as good as i ever heard. >> as messaging guy i almost feel badly for the other side, almost. i don't know how you run against this. how do you run against this level of optimism? as bill mentioned it is morning in america. there is a renaissance in this country. not just that, it is a broad prosperity. we're benefiting the economic underdogs, the strivers, people who did not participate in the slow growth, obama years. and all of these poll numbers are just stupid pend does. gallup released -- stupendous. 90% of the americans are satisfied with their personal lives. there is spirit that is pallable, real, i believe people will vote more than anything their kitchen table reality come november. they will reelected this president. as good as it is we haven't seen nothing yet. he can do more in the next term. stuart: steve cortez, bill mcgurn, thanks for being with us. appreciate one and all. the vote is underway in new hampshire. bernie sanders appears to have momentum. look at the crowd he drew last night? senator rick scott from florida joins us later this hour, from new hampshire. should the gop be a little worried about bernie and the enthusiasm there? we'll ask him. remember elizabeth warren went on her you didn't build that rant, remember that? we dusted off the sound bite today because we have a self-made billionaire on how the far least demonizes success. good tie-up there. next oscar ratings, an all-time low. is it because of the politics? yes, of course it is. i'm asking brent bozell he is in the studio with us this time around and yes, we will be back. ♪. this is the age of expression. everyone has something to say. but in a world full of talking, shouldn't somebody be listening?

media assault on the president continues. look at a couple headlines about the president from today. first of all from "the washington post," look at that. president trump is taking a blowtorch to the norms that allow our political system to function. this from "the new york times." trump pretended to be a different kind of republican. he is lying. that is krugman for you. brent bozell, media watcher is daneing us with his presence in new york. >> a lot of notes. stuart: i forget about what i am about to say. the media just won't lay off. i suspect they're getting even more what is the word? rabid. >> speaking of rabid. you can go rabid. i was thinking on the way here what is it we're seeing with the media? they have trying to get him being a fraud, being a cheat, being a criminal, being a traitor. and, every single time, it is like, it is like bugs bunny and he elmer fudd or roadrunner, wiley coyote he evades them. they're besides themselves. they don't know what to do. today's new narrative he is a thug. he is a bully, a thug, mean-spirited. this is how, this is the new way they will try to portray him. that will last a couple weeks until they realize it will backfire on them. then they will try something else. stuart: i was looking at my notes here you're riverring to. eugene robinson who said trump has gone full thug. >> when he picks on poor nancy -- come on, that has to be funny talking about heavy breathing behind him while giving the state of the union. that was a funny line. here is a woman who practices ripping a speech. practices being unsulting on national television, in the biggest address in the country. yet she is the victim. it is not selling. stuart: i got one more for you. the foreign film, "parasite," got the oscar for best picture at the oscars. in "the new york times" which have the following, the triumph of paradise is a sign of crisis -- "parasite" is a sign of a crisis of faith in capitalism. it is a radical parable of inequality. where are these people coming from? >> it is the opposite with ronald reagan. with ronald reagan it was morning in america, the shining city on the hill. we were aspirational, we're redemptive. today it is aoc and it is all about negativity and trying to tear down. it is ironic because you're in these booming days you mentioned the stock market is up. add another 100 points. we can go through all the stats of record employment and every strata of minority blacks, women, hispanics, everyone is in a boom. yet hollywood applauds a movie with just the opposite. they say they reflect reality. hollywood only reflects only its reality. stuart: you have that right. i want the ratings for the oscars, lauren you got them. lauren: oh they got them. all-time low. stuart: good. lauren: never lower. 26.3 million watched on sunday night, six million less than 2019. you know, in 2019 they didn't have a host. that worked. the ratings weren't terrible. they did the no-host thing again the ratings just plummeted. some acceptance speeches like brad pitt's got political, a lot of people weren't into it. the show was boring. that was the result. stuart: 24 million people that is all? lauren: not even, 23.6. all-time low. stuart: brent bozell still with us, glutton for punishment. look at tweet from ricky gervais about the owes cars quoting, i have nothing against the most privileged people in the world using their global platform what they belief. i agree most of it. i tried to warn them when they lecture everyday hard-working people it has the opposite effect. he is right. >> ouch. stuart: they won't watch. we rebel against this. >> you know what i think is happening? you can say yes, streaming video had effect on number for the oscars. they're paying for the sins of previous oscars. clearly the word has gone out, do not do the political because it is just driving away your audience. brad pitt was the only one. last year if i recall, they had almost nothing but look what they did before, where it was a, you had to be as insulting as possible. today you've got a vast swath of the american people that has no intention of even trying to see what might be on the oscars. i think they may have lost them permanently. stuart: one can hope. brent bozell, great to see you in new york. thanks for being here. see you soon. >> thank you very much. stuart: different subject, get back to new hampshire. residents there are heading to the polls today. it is the primary. you wouldn't believe the size of the crowd for the rally at bernie sanders t was big. later this hour senator rick scott will join us. he is in new hampshire. americans collecting social security get a slight boost to their check. you can thank president trump for that. no you can't, you can thank, what you thank is inflation adjusting. that is what it is all about. we'll be right back. can my side be firm?

[cheering] up 90%, up 104%. is there anybody doing badly with a 401(k)? i would like not to talk to that person? does anybody have a 401(k) where they're doing badly please? don't put up your hand. i don't believe it. no. the 401(k)s they're up 90%, 95%. i always tell this story. people come up to me, i want to thank you. stuart: president quite rightly likes to talk about your 401(k) because that is the impact on everyday people of the stock market rally. it just doesn't enrich only the super-rich. we're all doing quite well like this. now on another story, we've got, i think a small increase in the social security check? ashley: yes, the cost of living adjustment as they call it, 1.6%. that is extremely modest, about $24 extra for a senior each month. but that does not, let's be honest, keep pace for the costs that seniors face. housing food, transportation, especially health care and prescription drugs. at least a third of that amount will be eaten up in higher drug prices and medicare costs. so it is modest to say the least. i mean anything is great fully received but it is not going to make a huge amount of difference. stuart: based on the inflation rate. ashley: correct. stuart: of the previous year. ashley: right. stuart: so you adjust it for the next year. we have virtually no inflation, so the adjustment up was pretty limited. ashley: it gets eaten away pretty quickly. stuart: i'm sure it does. market is up 100 points. bull run continues, 29,392. yesterday's voting day in new hampshire. last night a rally for senator bernie sanders, the crowds big and enthusiastic, almost trump style actually. florida senator rick scott will comment on that. he is in new hampshire. he joins us from the scene after this. ♪. cologuard: colon cancer screening for people 45 plus at average risk. i've heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. i'm not worried. it doesn't run in my family. i can do it next year. no rush. cologuard is the noninvasive option that finds 92% of colon cancers. you just get the kit in the mail, go to the bathroom, collect your sample, then ship it to the lab. there's no excuse for waiting. get screened. ask your healthcare provider if cologuard is right for you. most insured patients pay $0. and let me tell you something, if cologuarrodeo...ht for you. i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan, like any other. big difference is how you pay it back. find out how reverse mortgages really work with aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage guide. eliminate monthly mortgage payments, pay bills, medical costs, and more. call now and get your free info kit. other mortgages are paid each month, but with a reverse mortgage, you can pay whatever you can, when it works for you, or, you can wait, and pay it off in one lump sum when you leave your home. discover the option that's best for you. call today and find out more in aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage loan guide. access tax-free cash and stay in the home you love. you've probably been investing in your home for years... making monthly mortgage payments... doing the right thing... and it's become your family's heart and soul... well, that investment can give you tax-free cash just when you need it. learn how homeowners are strategically using a reverse mortgage loan to cover expenses, pay for healthcare, preserve your portfolio, and so much more. look, reverse mortgages aren't for everyone but i think i've been 'round long enough to know what's what. i'm proud to be a part of aag, i trust 'em, i think you can too. trust aag for the best reverse mortgage solutions. so you can... retire better. ♪. i like this, waves of joy drifting through my open mind. before we go to the next story, look at the market please. dow 29,401 as we speak. if it reaches 29,408, we have a brand new all time intraday high. we're about five or six points away. ashley: yes. stuart: we are close, ladies and gentlemen. we're up. bernie sanders, drew a nice crowd for him at his rally last night in new hampshire. how about 7500 people? it was heavily produced. look at that. we have fireworks, a band, all the rest, nice lights, dancing ladies. i don't know. ashley: i know. stuart: bring in florida's fox news senator rick scott. sorry, rick, mr. senator, we're having far too much fun this morning that was a very enthusiastic rally for bernie sanders last night. and it looks like he is going to win. are you guys worried? >> i think he is trying to package socialism better than how it really works. they really want to look how socialism works go to caracas, venezuela, or havana, cuba. all the fireworks he is package something a little better. i think it is great if he wins. the democrats have gone off the deep end. they're into socialism. it never worked. trump over here on capitalism which always worked. so i going to be a great contrast. if he gets the nomination it, will be a pretty easy choice in november. i think average american will say, my 401(k) is better, my income is up. i think i keep going with this president. stuart: you came into politics as a business guy, very successful business guy. what is the business outlook like in new hampshire? how is the new hampshire economy going? if you got bernie sanders saying, oh, this economy doesn't work for everybody, how does that relate to new hampshire itself? >> they're pretty busy. everybody i talk to is pretty happy. the businesses are packed up here. i wish they were all in florida but there is a lot of people actually like the weather up here better. they like the snowy is not my favorite thing to do, but no, this economy is doing well. low unemployment. i saw governor sununu he is doing a good job. he is working to create business. it is helpful to have other states like new york close where they're doing the same thing, raising taxes. clearly not doing that here. new hampshire is doing really well. the country is doing well. lower unemployment for african-americans, hispanics this, is a great time to live in our country. stuart: you mentioned 401(k)s, mr. senator as you were speaking the dow at record intraday high. we're at 29,413 as we speak. >> isn't that something? stuart: that is incredible. i've been sitting here for years seeing the market go straight up. it is the trump rally. we should call it that. it is a sensation. why are you in new hampshire? are you surrogate and they flew in lots of you to back up the president? >> yeah. the trump campaign asked me to come up and talk about what trump's accomplished, whether supporting military, securing the border, working on getting health care prices, especially drug prices down, this great economy. in contrast with what the democrats want to do, "medicare for all," take away your private health insurance, "green new deal," take away your cars and planes all those things. by the way, democrats they still, biden, the sanders warren, they still fly in the private planes. they will have to get rid of those in the next race. just a contrast, socialism versus capitalism. stuart: over the weekend, a disturbing story as you know, mr. senator, over the weekend a driver ran into trump supporters, or at least their set-up. they were trying to register votes in florida. here's what the local republican party chair had to say about it. roll that type, please. >> we support peaceful political processes and the only revenge we talked about is the type that you get at the ballot box. the best revenge is victory we said but we emphasized that this needs to be peaceful. stuart: what do you say, mr. senator? >> well we can all disagree but, i mean, people shouldn't go to violence. it is wrong what that young man did. i can tell you, you know, the party chairman there is hard worker. jacksonville, duval county will get the vote out. they were big in all three of my races. trump will have a big win in jacksonville this fall. he will have a big win in florida. the economy is on fire. rnc is doing a great job with the grassroots. now it is trump's home. when i was governor, i kept saying why are you paying ridiculous new york taxes. finally he moved down there. stuart: mr. senator, rick scott, republican, florida, as always. what a pleasure have you on the show. thank you for being here. >> nice seeing you. stuart: yes, sir. dow industrials moments ago, where are we now? 29,412. we're up 135 points. look at nvidia. that used to be one of the very, very high flying tech stocks. now it has come all the way back again. at a new high. makes chips for games. $271 a share. up 3% as of right now. look at amazon, microsoft, google. earlier all three hit all-time highs. a couple are still there. microsoft is at 188. it had been at 190. all of them, in the trillion dollar club. how about jetblue? the stock i believe is up but, no specific reason for it. it is up 2 1/2% at $20 a share. jetblue. >> >> chinese officials giving an update on the coronavirus deaths. what's that update? ashley: over 100 yesterday in a day, 108, which is the first time they have seen more than 100 deaths in a day but the number of new confirmed cases is slowing down. it was down 20% from the day before. the number of confirmed cases well over 40,000. the death toll at 1018 but we also heard from the cdc in the last half an hour or so with regard to the u.s. and the virus. it has not been severe so far in the united states but they do say the information that they have suggests that the coronavirus is more transmissible but less severe than sars. in other words, it spreads more easily than sars but is not as you know fatal as the sars virus was on a per capita basis. stuart: fatality rate is lower than sars. ashley: correct. stuart: 1% of the people who get it die. 1%. that is accurate. lauren: that is accurate. >> barely 1%. by the way remember the plane we followed recently evacuees from china, 100 people, been at a military base in los angeles. all of them will be tested one more time today. then they will be released. no one had the coronavirus. stuart: there is unfortunate sidebar to the virus. that is chinese restaurants here in america are taking something of a hit. explain. lauren: there is a sense of worry and precaution out there, not panic. we're feeling it here all the way east. if you go to chinatowns in san francisco or right here in new york city, foot traffic is down by some estimates 50%. and also, peking duck, a very popular restaurant in chinatown, new york city, used to have to wait to get a reservation. now they're reporting cancellations and no lines. like i said the stock market is up. it seems we're controlling the coronavirus but still people are executing their own precaution. why am i going to a neighborhood that might have people who have been to wuhan province or china or some one contact recently. stuart: very, very unfortunate sidebar to the anxiety. you don't want to see that. it is true. it is happening. got it. now a favorite subject of mine, gas prices. they keep falling. i love it. the national average for regular is now 242. with gas so cheap, do we need to drill in the arctic national wildlife refuge in alaska, anwr? i will ask alaska's governor, mike dunlevy about that. he is coupling up next. later, remember when senator elizabeth warren said you didn't build that? a self-made millionaire is on the show. he started out with a few thousand dollars and he is a millionaire and he built it. ♪. 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? there is the moment. beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. ♪ ♪ every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected, to do the extraordinary. take your business beyond. it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices. but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging and lower drug prices now. >> we ended the war on american energy. they want to take our energy away. they want to take our wealth away. they want to give us wind, wind. if it blows, wonderful. if it doesn't blow you got problems. wind. stuart: yes, the president rightfully talking up america's energy independence, that was at the rally in new hampshire last night. look at price of gas. 242 is your national average, okay? it has fallen, gone down for 20 straight days. that's because we produce a lot of oil and gas in america. alaska's governor, mike dunlevy, is with us now. governor, great to have you back again but i've got a question for you. with gas so cheap and oil so plentiful in america, do we need to drill in the arctic national wildlife reserve? >> well it is cheap today, stuart. we don't know what it is going to be tomorrow. we've been through the ups and downs so long, so often. you mead to make sure that you have insurance. that is what anwr is. anwr is a our last great hope for conventional drilling field in america. the area we would drill is the about the size of a postage stamp in a football field. i grew up in the arab oil embargos in the '70s. i remember sitting in cars waiting for gasoline hours on end. i don't think we need to put ourselves in that position. we need to have insurance and backup. stuart: is there likely there is a major oil field underneath the arctic national wildlife reserve? is that likely? >> that is what they believe. the experts believe there is a very real chance that is a large pool of oil. and again, having that in the mix of america's energy portfolio i think bodes well for america, bodes well for the economy. it adds stability going forward. we're looking forward to these anwr lease sales. it will be good for alaska and it will be good for america. stuart: you were at the white house yesterday for the governors meeting. i believe you were there with the president. can you tell us what this presidency has done for the state after alaska? >> this presidency this, administration, president trump has probably been the best president for the state after alaska since statehood. with regard to opening up anwr for lease sales. the tonga national forest for mining, echo tourism. looking at the offshore oil and gas possibilities as well. every time we meet with the president he asks pretty much the same question, how can we help alaska. as i'm sure he does with the other states? we have that conversation with him. my administration is very pleased with what the president has been doing. in terms of regulations moving forward i think this will bode well for the country and for alaska. stuart: i believe the president won alaska in 2016. i don't know the margin but do you believe he will win again this year with an increased margin? >> i do. i do believe the president's going to win. i do believe it will be with an increased margin. again he has been very good for alaska, very good for this country. we have the lowest unemployment rate now in the history of alaska. our personal income is up in alaska. our gdp is up 3, 4, quarters in a row. we're riding the wave the rest of america is riding. we still have a lot more to do in alaska. we're looking for more investment to come to alaska to create more jobs. nonetheless it is moving in the right direction,. stuart: do you watch "life below zero"? >> i lived life below zero. i lived in some small towns. my wife is a is kim mow native and we know that area very well. stuart: the hailstones? >> yes. stuart: i i didn't know about that. i'm glad you told us. i'm addicted to that show. governor dunlevy, thanks for being with us. >> sure thing. stuart: our market at or close to record highs across the board. look at that the dow reached 29,400. how about that? i can't believe the next story, tell you about it. paw patrol is popular with young children. my grandchildren like it a lot. one professor calls it propaganda and won't watch it. what is going on? lauren: because paw patrol promotes capitalism. isn't that when you think of when you watch the show? it is a bunch of dogs, do good dogs. they go out and help people in need. this canadian professor is making an argument, i will not let my 2-year-old watch it, because instead of calling the police, instead of calling in the government to help people in need, the dogs just go out and help themselves, help other people by themselves. that is capitalism. i'm sure any two-year-old would really understand that. stuart: let's put it out to everybody. ashley: my god. stuart: all, 2, 3, 4-year-olds in america. watch "paw patrol." it is good for you. it is a moral show. >> it is a good show about being nice to animals. what you can do if you work together but it promotes capitalism. how dare they. stuart: i watched it. i watched it. next one, former nissan chief carlos ghosn is looking at a film or tv deal. ashley: of course he did after that hollywood-style escape from japan. it is crying out to be told on the big screen or the small screen or both. he is apparently hired a michael ovitz, founder creator of artist agency a big agency in hollywood. ovitz is a former president of disney. here is a guy who reportedly hired a former u.s. army beret to help with the escape plan. he got out what we believe a case of some music equipment. i mean, the story is too good. not to be told by hollywood. by the way, when he escaped, he forfeited his 14 million-dollar bail. the estimates are he could have paid up to 15 million for this plan to take place. so he is down 29 million. so the idea of getting a lucrative deal for his life story is probably a smart financial move as well. stuart: who plays carlos ghosn? ashley: that's a good question. stuart: i have no idea. no idea. any ideas? ashley: someone who can fit in a case. tom cruise. stuart: fit in a music case. that was great. tom cruise would be great. all right. i have a new study. it shows small business owners prefer mike bloomberg over president trump. i don't believe it. what is going on here? we'll ask our businessman senator mike braun in our next hour. first though, remember senator warren slammed success saying you didn't build that? up next, we have a self-made billionaire, tom gallasino, started his company with just $3,000 and a credit card. now he is a billionaire. he is on the show 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. shipsticks.com saves you time and money. there's a company that's talked than me: jd power.people 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. wheneveryone is different.a, which is why xfinity mobile created a different kind of wireless network. one that saves you money by letting you design your own data - giving you more choice and control compared to other top wireless carriers. now you can choose unlimited, shared data, or mix lines of each and switch any line, anytime. no one else lets you do that. design your own data with xfinity mobile. it's wireless reimagined. simple. easy. awesome. it's our most dangerous addiction. and to get the whole world clean?

>> $3,000. a couple credit cards the banks quickly took away. i went four years without getting my own paycheck t was tough. stuart: you had a wife and two children. >> a wife and two children. stuart: so i'm going to put words in your mouth here. >> okay, go ahead. stuart: you built from scratch. >> exactly. stuart: how do you feel about senator warre. [saying you didn't build that? >> let me say this, we became a nationwide company, we service 6700 companies in the united states. we provide payroll services, human resources services. we are a public corporation. we have a market capitalization of $32 billion. we paid for a lot of college educations a lot of retirements, so on, so forth. why would you feel bad if she vilified a billionaire? of course i feel bad about it. i can't believe it. i paid $300 million in taxes in the last 15 years. i also paid $300 million in philanthropy and more. stuart: she wants to take your wealth away from you. if, i were you i would feel really unhappy about this. i would be pounding the table. >> i have been pounding the table but quite frankly i, i think in this race between socialism and capitalism she is going to lose. stuart: okay. good stuff. i got one more for you here. i want to you listen to what some in the crowd were chanting at mayor pete in new hampshire yesterday. listen closely. roll tape, please. >> because we are for higher wages and the empowerment of workers. we are for honoring our troops by putting an end to endless war. stuart: that was over the weekend by the way. they were chanting wall street pete. having a go at him. i guess because he used to be a consultant with mckinsey. >> i didn't know that. go ahead. stuart: i what is going on here? >> i don't know. i wrote a book you know. i wrote a book entrepeneur on theship. stuart: yep. >> i have sold to entrepreneurs services and products for all my life and i love entrepreneurs. i wanted to do something to help them. so i wrote a book called built, not born. talks about the story of paychex, how it evolved and happened. stuart: you have done a remarkable thing, tom you really have. >> thank you. stuart: i will read the book, if you got a free copy. >> brian got one. stuart: tom golisano. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. stuart: sure thing. i'm interrupting this, we got a new presidential tweet. here it is. new stock market records. congratulations. spend your money wisely. keep america great. sew watching the market just like everybody else, up it goes. what about this? dixville notch, new hampshire. it is a town with only five residents. guess who won the town? guess who won three votes in the town? ashley: a clue. stuart: write-in votes. there is a clue. if you don't know who he you will soon. he is not even on the ballot in new hampshire. we will talk to pollster doug schoen about that in the next hour that is. the economy is booming. trump touted it at his rally in new hampshire. what are the democrats talking about when they talk down the economy? next up we go to new hampshire with pete hegseth. he is talking to the voters. we'll be back. ♪. at fidelity, online u.s. stocks and etfs are commission-free. and when you open a new brokerage account, your cash is automatically invested at a great rate. that's why fidelity leads the industry in value while our competition continues to talk. ♪ talk, talk whhey there!mpetition continues to talk. i'm lonnie from lonnie's lumber. if you need lumber wood, lonnie's is better than good. we got oak, cherry, walnut, and more. and we also have the best selection of plywood (clattering) in the state... hey!

[cheers and applause] >> since my election america has gained 7 million new jobs, the unemployment rate has hit the lowest rate in half a century. the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any previous administration in the history of our country, you believe that one. stuart: i just want to back that up, i've worked in 5 different countries and i've visited 63, and the president is absolutely right, america is the most inclusive country in the world by none and bears repeating; what you heard was the president last night in new hampshire, joining us from new hampshire is pete hegseth, "fox & friends" weekend host, pete. >> good morning. stuart: what do they say about the economy? >> well, they love it and when you, boy, nothing more triggers the left than saying than the president saying we are inclusive, right, they claim he's the divider in chief, he's creating in america, democrats concern, they look at the rally, unemployment, they look at the state of the union and the way you contrast that with nancy pelosi's tearing up and they realize they are running against one of the strongest presidents and candidates they see in their lifetime, that's baked in the democratic voter base but they are also confused. a lot of voters don't know what the future of the democrat party truly is. if you're selling radical change and socialism which bernie is saying openly but the rest of them are still peddling, what are you running against when you see people's whose lives are better, wages have increase and you have a president who says i support borders and law enforcement and strong military and better trade deals, standing for the anthem, cultural things that matter to people too, voters here will cast their ballot as democrats and say, okay r we the new socialist party or have we chosen a new direction with someone like mayor pete who is 38 year's old and sells unity and hope and change, it's very confused environment in new hampshire, stuart, i have to say. stuart: look, from here it looks like it's bernie sanders race to lose in new hampshire, but what does it look like from where you are? >> i agree. i think his revolution -- they won in 2016, remember, bernie won here, the supporters are still rabid about what happened to him, a lot of people shifted from joe biden to pete buttigieg, they feel like biden will not get it done, we will leave him, amy klobuchar, elizabeth warren not catching any traction anywhere. so maybe mayor pete can be our hope change alternative, he speaks in the poll tested platitude that sound moderate even though he's very left wing, so i would not be surprised to see it closer than people think. i think bernie will win. depends on whether he can turn out the college voters, the young voters who are enthusiastic at the rallies when rock band show up, the question do they show up to vote tonight and it'll set to trajectory of the party, iowa had an impact. it was a disaster, the pete supporters feel like it galvanized them and created replacement for joe biden who has been a terrible candidate in the entire process. stuart: pete, i hope you're staying the night so we can talk to you from a dinner, i don't know what your plans are. >> we will be at the airport diner in manchester so, stuart, listen, if you come to colin,i will always answer, whatever you want. stuart: i will take my private jet up there. >> yeah, we miss you. give me a ride some type. stuart stop it. pete hegseth. great guy, see you later pete. let's turn to housing, we have positive news from the housing market, i love housing news. lauren: renters and home owners have taking van of interest at 3.45%, 40% of renters will want to purchase a home at these levels and 46% of homeowners will renovate their homes with rates at these levels in addition refinancing, buying second homes and vacation homes, buying bigger homes, all of those numbers in high 20's, so people are enticed by what they are seeing, the low rates and their paychecks. stuart: in my opinion, the investment at the moment which offer it is best rate of return over the long term i think is real estate. ashley: florida. lauren: texas. ashley: texas. lauren: iowa. stuart: low-taxed states, that's where they are going. lauren: do those states change politically when they get the influx of the coasters. stuart: that's just austin. i take your point. lauren: good stuff, lauren. stuart: take a look at tesla, please, short sellers, the people who bet down, well, they lost 2 and a half billion dollars on monday just when the stock went straight up, calendar year, short sellers have lost over $8 billion betting against tesla, it's up a buck 80 cents today, 7.72, how about amazon, well, they opened a new fulfillment center in ohio, they are opening them up all over the country. $177 a share. now look at microsoft, hit all-time high earlier above 190, it's come back a little. 188 microsoft, alphabet otherwise known as google, record highs of another 90 bucks. then there's invidia at all-time, come on in, susan, why are they up so much now? >> flurry of upgrades. four quarters and four years of declines, check out the stock, if we can bring the upgrades as well because a number of them, we are taking a look at the bullish calls with rbc, deutsche bank raising target price at $220, wells fargo says it's worth 290, and there's a a lot f bidding up of the stock hitting into the earnings on thursday and that's because analysts believe that there's a turn around thanks to news from china, coronavirus might be the wild card and how it impacts on chips that go bo gaming and i'm willing to bit that's the surge in rally in bitcoin and has to do with pushing up invidia stock. stuart: i think you're right. susan li at the exchange, thanks very much. this is a difficult story, 5-year-old tape, it just surfaced, mike bloomberg defending stop and frisk policy, this could hurt his standing among african-american voters, we will explain, we will have bloomberg pollster doug sean. tale of two rallies, sanders and trump last night, i say bernie's rally had a trumpian quality to it, supporters and rock band to boot, the trump campaign in response to that in a moment. first senator mike braun, i want to know small business owners apparently prefer bloomberg over the president, i can't believe, third hour of varney rolling. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ stuart: stock benefited from a report that ibm had put all employees on slack, kind of workplace bulletin replaces texting, 350,000 employees at ibm did the stock power of good but imb says, well, we have been on slack for years, the stock came down again, 25 bucks a share on slack. t-mobile and sprint both up on news, billion merger, flip flown, lauren. lauren: 1400 bucks, goes on sale friday, this is why it's a big deal, a lot of companies samsung included have tried the flip phone smartphone idea, it's like your iphone, it's hard to do. and they have to pull the phone as a result, so is samsung after previous debacles, is it going to be game-change. they will come out with flip iphone and the customers will buy it. stuart: being able to flip it. lauren: hanging up on somebody. ashley: good-bye. lauren: absolutely. put it in your pocket or purse or clutch, you don't have to worry about that. it's different, i actually think it's really cool, motorola razer, that was a success. for a while. stuart does not want the flip phone, got it. [laughter] stuart: listen to this one, 69% of small business owners say they benefited from the 2017 trump tax cuts. so scroll up, get going here, i want to see the other part of this, the other part of the story is -- what? where is it? okay. all right. look, what i'm trying to get at here is that, okay, 69% of small business owners benefited from the 2017 tax cut, all good stuff, however, the same survey found that the vote that small business operated, they prefer bloomberg to president trump. lauren: 52 to 48. stuart: they prefer bloomberg? >> clearly confused because if you look into the details, the second page almost every tax that was rolled back that rates going up, enterprisers and most small businesses probably operate as an llc or a sub s, that rate went from 396 to 296, bloomberg wants it right back up to 396 and in my business when obama raised rate to 396, they clearly need to see that michael bloomberg is emphasizing stuff to roll back, so once that gets vetted they won't fall for that because small businesses, it's been the hottest economy for us since i've been doing it. that's been 37 years and c corps always find their way, that went from 35 to 21, when their effective rate some thought would have been under the nominal rates and in this case, llc's sub s's don't have all the writeoffs so our effective rate is the nominal rate and if we lose that, this economy will go back into the obama. stuart: we are supposed to believe that mike bloomberg is a moderate and i guess he is compared to bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, et cetera, et cetera, i don't think he deserves that label if he's going jack up the actual taxes paid by the entrepreneurs and small business people of this country, in fact, i think that would really hurt the economy if we did that. >> no doubt about it. when i watched in '17, december, senator johnson weighed in because they were not going to do the rate down and when that happened, that encouraged all of us to invest to raise wages, if we lose that and that's not permanent until 2025, this economy will go right back to where it was before president trump got here. high liquid income, stu, which are probably mostly returns filed by the other side of the aisle anyway, there needs to be investigation on where we can gain revenue, but not out of middle of america and not out of the job creators that generally pay as pass through with k1, if he does that, it'll get the economy tanked like it was before it got turned around in december '17. stuart: would you consider as a revenue raiser the idea of taxing wealthier people, the 1%, the very rich, taxing them a little more, would you consider that? >> stu, high-liquid incomes can probably afford to pay more but not in the context when our deficit which is a trillion dollars is mostly structurally due to spending, i'm on the budget committee which is now the most irrelevant committee here to find both sides of the story, but until we address spending, which is up 8 to 10% this year and we've got record revenues; we are at the sweet spot of taxation, we need to get back to where we find out how to live within our means like we do in the state of indiana and then there might be revenue sources for highly liquid big earners, most of them aren't enterprisers, they are not mainstream america but that's avoiding the real issue, getting a handle on spending if we are ever going to get rid of the deficits. stuart: does president trump win indiana again?
