Dollar is strong and will be eaten up sales when translated. Good news on Consumer Confidence that prices are edging back a little bit. Something is going on and not just the weather but the recovery that looks more than a little flaky to not at all. What is going on gary . We came off the rose the state of the Union Address but the reality is todays news hit harder than expected. With six years of Economic Growth now we enter the and chartered territory could this be the year things change . It has really turned into corporate caution as it did a panacea but what people are concerned about what is happening. I think oil is a big concern right now it could have the volatility clearly people investing right now with the vix index double digits with oil around 46 of beryl. Neil you lost me because you are so smart. But is this a sign of things to come with more companies of more worries . I think the economy is of good quarter bad quarter but we just had Energy Prices dropped 50 and it still isnt helping. We have a rough road ahead the wing for bird. I do worry about the centralbank to be involved every single thing every single day in the markets are reflecting that a little bit. Neil looking at a strong dollar is a great testament to capital worldwide but you are arguing it is limited . Will get the global picture that we are so interconnected it is a domino effect around the world. It has caught some of the corporation is by surprise to say we will keep the spending on the sideline instead of risking a the Capital Expenditures that is twothirds of the average person then we could be in for a slowing quicker than expected which is bad news for the economy. Neil last night you were mentioning this but is this part of the extremes . Id in the scheme of things were doing okay. What do you say . Markets overall our range bound. But keep in mind this is my biggest problem, last week the European Central bank but tomorrow it is the central bank. I dunno if albania will show up. There is so much interference talking about the dollar because the central data are crushing a the currencys enabling the dollar to skyrocket. You see the earnings and that we start reacting with theyre trying to do over there. Neil do we go lower from here . We got 50 percent of the markets of the bear market and 50 percent of Global Market or 5 trading range right now. Neil i will be that there. This is the start of the rollercoaster ride. We may see intense volatility average investors hold on long term but make sure you know, the risk of your portfolio to make sure you cover your assets. Neil phil flynn says the storm did not help but do not think it is smooth sailing for us. What are you looking at . Inaccuracys a lot of Power Outages have people going through disturbances. If you have cold weather with no power is one of the worst things. Has in many parts of the country the prices will spike that will cost every consumer a little bit of money. But over the long run nationwide it will cause prices to go down. We saw a lot of demand destruction because of the storm and a lot of planes did not go and people did not go to work and did not use gasoline even though it is a shortterm spike but the heating bills will come down will work. The caveat is what then is Mother Nature have next . With another cold blast the prices could go back down. But in the near it the near term they could retreat again. Neil bundle up the york governor says more storms are on the way and he knows why. That is part of the changing climate and i believe with a new extreme weather pattern. It is something we have to address to adjust to that is costly and dangerous. Neil fox business allstars mark, you said the governors head is in the clouds . The governor and the mayor are in a tough spot favor damned if they did or didnt but to support Climate Change theories they say there is no causal relationship between any single storm in their theories. So asking if there is of debate moving to policy solutions those are usually bigger government than the government picks winners and losers with auto emissions or Energy Production we are subsidizing wind and solar which is not a good investment for the taxpayer but penalizing coal producers we should have a level Playing Field for hydro and nuclear the stick that do not emit carbon instead of winners and losers. Neil but not too long ago we talked about Global Warming sun now use to Climate Change. So now the key at 2014 though work this year on record. But they say that atmosphere is what is producing the storms to make it so bad. What do you make of that . The explanation from climate Scientists Say snowstorms slowdown with more accumulation to become more selling in its more severe but i am not an expert so the governor has to have humility. Is a complicated scientific issue. Even if we could determine manmade Climate Change is causing catastrophic effects so then what k and we do about it for what should we do . My big worry is the reasonings. We start spending money we really dont have with a probably are not 100 percent sure would be solved many say the earth is getting warmer the way that plays out is anyones guess. Because then they said we would all be wearing bermuda shorts. Do you remember the speech last year that the mayor gave to the un when he said because of our reckless ways of living of how we live that basically that is causing Climate Change or Global Warming or whatever term they use this year. Such a key play being human beings with the scare tactics that we make a huge impact on the climate changing or the big storms is preposterous. A gets to the point where they end up building policy. So is new york city theyve made a goal to reduce by 80 percent Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2050. They set up the big aggressive programs in hopes it would stop the globe from getting warmer as scientists are tracking it will get warmer by 1 degree and it comes to a point why keep putting the blame on the human beings . But the climate will be changing. Neil to follow this very closely but we would have a lot of storms like a Geiger Counter now they have some bigger rationale. And i worry about that because it means all paid your wallet. The politicians should turn to the act of god clause. This comes on the heels of Superstorm Sandy creating impact. The climate will do what it will do. You have to be careful how this translates to policy solutions. So right now it is just talk so we have to monitor because we know that the far the free market control emissions. I still wonder what it was when i was a kid. You will be back later in the show.

Neil forget march madness lets get ready for g. O. P. That is because the divisions are looking like the aa tournament break down. Good to have you back. I will shave. Neil did you do any work at all in davos . Yes. Neil understood. I found a good restaurant by the way. Head was amazing. [laughter] neil tell me about the bracket. One guy who are really like a former House Majority leader working on wall street we started to chat and comes up with an interesting analogy is like like, not to the prediction but it is like the n. C. A. A. Brackets in march madness where you have various clusters of candidates. And with the Establishment Group but i think jeb bush. Neil what about the other brackets . In the second bracket this is where it will rise from ultimately. Neil lets go a little further. This is the passion part. With that skilled politician in the bracket is Mike Huckabee he is camera ready, a smart, with the former the fox news anchor he is intellectually brilliant. Neil bayou give him the edge . Because he is the best politician. Neil this is like a the wild card sohu is in this group could be merged . I think it is ben carson but i dont the key has a shot because i really do thank you have to be a professional politician to win this thing. Neil but it says each group has two more to its leader then fight it out . Each one will merge. And it made a lot of sense. Neil i dont know if we have this but what were you doing . Is such a city where sunglasses. I was outside. Neil that was outside . I had on my jacket. Neil who were you trying to be . Talking about the suns at cnbc were threatening our guests. Neil to put on the glasses. Day you like it . Neil but you did things . I have decided to have done nothing. I did interviews. They say stuff without saying stuff. My job there was to go up to talk to people behind the scenes which i did a lot of. Neil is better lot of time and restaurant. That is where people hang out. [laughter] at the bar at the hilton. Neil what about the swiss cabdrivers . I was downtown. By the way the contract says firstclass accommodations and there were not first class but they were centrally located so we could walk around. [laughter] neil your parents has popped. But the president has been trumped by candidates letter seriously considering a run. But one former bush aide is not taking many of them seriously. Maybe you heard the bracket comparison it will cut down to each of those groups and find a single winner or finalist . Do you agree this is the only way to little this town . Site en impressive impressed with Mike Huckabee. As an item in hollywood and it is all about flashy and rhetoric but he is not done anything. But not only that the b the country is ready for an adult like john k. Sec or scott walker. Neil so you gravitate to the midwestern Governor Group . I do. And the country is ready for the mid term is the democrats got shellacked they did not like the policies they wanted the country to go back in to have success for people that our legitimate. Neil i think scott walker is the one to watch not just for his reaction but quietly he has done a lot of things that those around the base want to see more of. What i like about scott walker he is a good speaker and has improved immensely. That is important. Look what he did with the unions. Neil you dont think that is the boomerang nationally . They are dead anyway. But show some spine is very important with a good midwestern ethnic. And i think given a chance others would diverge and i would take walker any day of the week. I take that is where we will find the next president but not those under just trying to sell books are have reality shows. I think they have done a good job to have less debates in to have more control. We will see what happens. Neil good to see you. Thanks. Remember the obamacare promise . I will not to sign a plan that has one dawn before deficits either now or in the future. Neil give him credit he did not. He added trillions of times. After this. The lightest or nothing.

The mainstream press, pretty much buying hook line and sinker that our deficits are no longer big stinkers as a percentage of gdp, theyre coming down. Everybody whooped it up are they serious . Celebrating the half billion dollar deficits need i remind anyone whatever deficits get added to the debt that no one disputes we have because for every dollar or more that we spend and take in that old 18 trillion debt pile keeps going up, up up up up. Its like maxedout visa bill. Look at it this way, you figure over the years, youve had it. Because you earn more money now, its not quite the burden it was when you got it. Bottom line, youre not doing squat to deal with it are you . Youre making the minimum payment to get by unaware in so doing, overall balance is getting higher. The difference there, of course, is thats your money, thats your choice. This debt is all our money and the guy spending it arent giving us the choice, and how do you think we would respond to them telling us theyre spending, well, spending all of us, and our kids into the grave. We tell them to put the shovel down and stop. But theyre not doing that are they . Instead, theyre fooling us into thinking things are good because we can manage the deficits we have failing to remind us that the debt they are amassing is killing all of us. Interest payments on it alone are now costing us more than all social entitlement programs combined. One thing for politicians to lie. That i expect. It is quite another for the Mainstream Media to let them. That i wont tolerate. And neither will tea party titan radio host extraordinaire best selling author jude lauden. And Republican House as well what are they doing just letting this happen . Hello, cromnibus bill. They are continuing to spend, and its so typical, neil of the alphabet soup media along with the Mainstream Media to be their microphone. If they were cooking the books in a wall street firm like our government is cooking the books and using accounting tricks to say this is reducing and we have the great economy going on, they would go into the wall street firm, lock up computers and take them out and handcuff them. Neil they already have, if you think about it if anything looks untoward they are all open like you know what. They practice this on a much, much higher plane, and not a peep out of press. Thats whats obnoxious. People dont have to believe us, neil. Look at the facts. Take the state of the union, right . Neil please. On the one hand obama said look at the economy is so much better, look what ive done. Everything is rosy and wonderful. On the other hand not a few minutes later, he said the economy is so bad that all women need to be in the workforce. So therefore we need to increase spending for day care for women because everybody has to work for the economy. Which is it . You cant have it both ways. Americans arent stupid neil theyre sitting down at kitchen tables reconciling budgets and know that taxes are increasing Discretionary Income is going away and theyre looking at this and it doesnt matter how many times the lame stream media repeats it that everything is rosey. Americans know better. Neil you cant ignore the fact all the money tied up in washington, the debt payments tied up in washington is all our money that will never get out to the private sector ever. Right and the other facts theyre hiding our deficit this year, 468 billion. Projection right now it will be 1. 1 trillion in 2025. Neil gina, we remember the time well, i can, im older than you. Half a trillion, we could be gagging at that. By comparison of a trillion, it looks terrific . Absolutely right. I think that americans are catching on. If you take one statistic in our books that you just talked about, we talked to women and we found out that the number of women just taking that demographic has completely juxtaposed. 56 of women supported obama in 2012. In 2014 midterm elections that number completely switched and 56 of wo
