Reeling from janet yellen. She said negative rates are still on the table, so shes considering keeping some of the money we lend to the government. That did not go down well. So as we said, were trying for a rebound, looking for stability. Virginiany and company is about Varney Company is about to begin. Stuart what a headline, cia director john brennan telling 60 minutes that isis can make chlorine and mustard gas, and he says theyve used those chemical weapons already several times. Brennan also warns isis may try to sell the weapons into western countries. The director of national intelligence, james clapper, says it is the first instance of an Extremist Group developing and using chemical weapons since that serin gas attack on the tokyo subway in 1995. Got it. The northeast preparing for a deep freeze this weekend. Wind chill readings, look at that, expected to be way below zero in some parts. You know, ashley [laughter] yes . Stuart ive got a suspicion that the people of florida, texas, california and arizona are laughing at us. Yes. All those snowbirds, told you so. The lows early sunday morning here in new york city expected to hit right around 2 degrees, just 2 degrees governor 0. That would above 0. A very good chance its going to go below that. Its shortlived, by tuesday were going to have a high of 50 degrees here in new york city. So take that, arizona and florida. People in minnesota would say, what are you talking about . This is like september. Stuart thats right. It is winter. Exactly. Stuart we still have winterrings. Its the dreaded polar vortex. We havent mentioned it stuart cant wait. [laughter] to politics. Oh, yes, we love our politics. The democrat debate last night, no mention of hillarys email scandal of the state departments investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Byron york is with us with the washington examiner. Good morning, stewart. Stuart i was shocked. It doesnt take a lot to shock me in politics [laughter] any explanation as to why Bernie Sanders did not bring up the emails . Well, first of all, the moderators could have done it. And i agree with you, it was stunning, especially when you consider that this is the first debate theyve had since the fbi confirmed publicly that they are investigating this whole clinton email situation. So the moderators didnt bring it up. And will be, there was this point where they were kind of arguing over who supported obama more, and bernie standers said to secretary clinton, you know, one of us ran against president obama in 2008, and it wasnt me. He could have said one of us is under investigation by the fbi, and its not me. Stuart he could have done that, but he didnt. He walked away from it. I think the email scandal had a sideways entry into the debate in that hillary was lavish in her praise for president obama and stuck very loyally with him. Maybe thats because it is president obama who calls the shot on whether or not hillary gets indicted. [laughter] well, the president is in charge of the justice department, in case anybody forgot. Theres Something Else to remember too. Look at the exit polls from the New Hampshire primary where Bernie Sanders won a landslide victory. Fully half of the democrats who went to the polls this is not just all democrats, but the ones who were so motivated they went to the polls half of them said Hillary Clinton was not honest, was not trustworthy. And by the way, Bernie Sanders won that group by 96 . So this, you know, even if nobody says something, democrats are getting the message, and theres a significant number of them going to the polls who believe that Hillary Clinton cannot be trusted. Stuart byron, stay there for a second. More in a moment. I want to bring in tammy bruce because byron mentioned it briefly there, theres another side to this. Why didnt the taxpayersupported pbs moderators ask the email questionsome. Because theyre in the tank with the democrats. Theyre in the tank with president obama. They dont mind either one stuart do they have to make it so obvious . Well, in their world its not obvious because no one in their social circles discuss it. No one wants to touch it. Now, obviously, with hillary i also was wondering with that thing she was wearing, i was waiting for gallagher to come up with a watermelon and a big hammer with the slashing there. For her and for Bernie Sanders, hell never bring it up because he doesnt have to. Its already out there in the public. Its talked about, its the ghost in the room, if you will. He can bring up things that are related to it that remind people in their minds about the email scandal, about issues of trust and about being part of the system. But i think also they dont bring it up because it will affect president obama. We now know that he had emails with her on her system regarding benghazi that they will not release. Hes denied knowing about the system. That puts the lie to his initial comments about it as well. So i think that the entire liberal dynamic has an interest in not having this be discussed as a whole. Thats probably true. I think youre right. Bernie sanders, what an interesting candidate he is because anyone else would use this as one of the main hammers to hammer away saying what about your judgment, mrs. Clinton . Stuart of course. How could you put these secret emails on your private server . Stuart im going to chuck this out. No need to discuss. Bernie doesnt want to knock out hillary from the race yet. If he knocks her out quickly and now someone else comes in. Stuart in comes Vice President biden, and maybe bernies making the calculation he cant beat joe as well as he is beating hillary. And al gore. Al gore is getting people to the gop stuart no, no, no. Climate activists to the gop town hallings throughout New Hampshire. Hes now been tweeting about some of this. Watch out for that. Stuart i find this far more interesting, but im going to get to the markets. It is my duty. Heres how were going to hope today, stocks up. Trying for a rebound, trying for stability. Wild ride yesterday after janet yellen mentioned negative Interest Rates. Well get into that later. How about oil . As you can see, its up 1. 74 right now, thats 6. 5 . Ash, why is it up so much this morning . Well, we had this comment in the United Arab EmiratesEnergy Minister yesterday who said, guess what . Opec is ready to the coordinate some sort of Production Cut in an effort to bring prices back up. You know what, do you believe that . Complete skepticism out there. No, because saudi arabia is hell bent on pumping at full tilt. Stuart yes, but if theyre not going to actually cut production, investors seem to believe that they will cut production because the price of oil is up. Because they so desperately want to believe it. Stuart im in conspiracy theories. You are. [laughter] stuart how about this one . Up popular billionaire bill ackman, runs a hedge fund. He wants Michael Bloomberg, multibillionaire, to run for president. The title of his opinion piece in the Financial Times is pretty clear. America is burning, but Michael Bloomberg can put out the fire. So one billionaire promotes a multibillionaire for president at a time when billionaires in general are wildly unpopular. Byron york, what have you got to say about this . [laughter] you know, tell me if youve seen something, but i have never in all of my political coverage detected a groundswell of support of, an outcry for a Michael Bloomberg president ial candidacy. [laughter] it just doesnt exist. Isnt it odd, by the way, that bloomberg talks to the ft, and this man writes in the ft . What about usa today or Something Like that . There simply is no republican, democratic or independent groundswell for a bloomberg candidacy. Stuart he thinks there is a groundswell for someone who could position themselves in the middle. Extreme left Bernie Sanders, hard right Ted Cruz Donald trump n. The middle bloomberg thinks hes got that ground. I believe thats what he thinks. But, stuart, the only reason were talking about bloomberg as opposed to some other candidate who might fill that alleged gap, the only reason were talking about bloomberg is he has so much moneyment he can spend a billion dollars if he wants to. But other than that, theres really no reason to think that a somewhat successful mayor of new york city would somehow appeal to millions of americans across the country who are unhappy with democratic and republican choices. Stuart you know, byron, you were verging on sarcasm there. [laughter] and as you to know, sarcasm is a low form of wit. Meant every word of it, stuart. [laughter] stuart thanks for getting up so early on a very cold day, byron york. Thank you. Stuart thank you, sir. His antigun position alone, bloomberg would have so much difficulty. But he could put out the fire of that americas, you know, americas on fire, as the Financial Times noted, with all those big gulps [laughter] pour them onto the fire. Stuart its a low form of wit. Think about how the rest of the country viewed his actions in new york. He would have a difficult time. Stuart fair point. Just for a brief, shining moment, we showed that video i saw that. Stuart this is not the cruise ship nightmare. Thats a 100foot wave crashing into a stranded ship. This is in the middle of storm gertrude which slammed britain last month. 140 mileanhour winds, massive waves. Weve got the video. Now drop it, please, because im seasick already. I cant imagine being on that boat. Ship, i should say. Look at this, two passengers trying to enjoy a ride in a hot air balloon, p shortlived idea. Look at that. The passengers, good news,they were unharmed. But that is probably the worst pr for the is that a regular house . Stuart looks like it. Could you answer the front door . Theres someone in a wicker basket. [laughter] theres two adults with champagne. Stuart whos who . I dont know. Thats a nasty accident right there. Finally, finally, look at this. Some green for the markets. Looks like we have something of a rebound. Looking at a tripledigit gain at the opening bell. Tenyear also up to 1. 70, 1. 69. And gold down 9, 10, so a little bit of risk off. Stuart thats jargon. You deserve the buzzer for that. All right, come on. Stuart then theres trump. I spoke to him yesterday about his comments on the pope. Trumps not happy that the pope plans to stand with migrants at the mexican border. The pope is a very political person. I think he doesnt understand the problems our country has. On the floor everybody down nobody move on the floor hey, do something oh, im not a security guard. Im a security monitor.

But its not without its perks. Like seeing our album sales go through the roof enough to finally start paying megs little brother i mean,our new tour managerwith real,actual money. We run on quickbooks. Thats how we own it. Stuart people are watching right now to see how were going to open up this morning in light of the huge losses weve suffered recently. The news is well be up about 120 points as we stand now, thats 15 minutes from now. How about oil . Were up 1. 56. Opec says its ready to cooperate on cutting production. Prices are up nearly 6 on that. Lets see if they actually do it. Donald trump on the show yesterday calling out the pope over his plan to stand with migrants at the u. S. mexico border. Roll tape. The pope is a very political person. I think he doesnt understand the problems our country has. I dont think he understands the danger of the open border that we have with mexico. And i think mexico got him to do it because mexico wants to keep the border just the way it is because theyre making a fortune, and were losing. Stuart joining us now is robert jeffers, pastor of first baptist, dallas. Donald trump says the pope is political, and you say . I say that donald trump is partly wrong and largely right in what hes saying. Look, stuart, its wrong to suggest that religious leaders shouldnt get involved in politics. I mean, the word politics means to influence. We are to influence our culture without religious leaders involved in politics, there would have been no abolition of slavery, Civil Rights Movement or even american revolution. Pastors were at the forefront of all of those movements. But i think trump is right in suggesting that not only the pope, but evangelical pastors who argue for a lenient immigration policy are really basing their views not on biblical truth, but on personal opinion. And thats where i think trump is right. Stuart how do you think voters will react to this . I mean, the catholic vote in the United States is a sizable vote. How do they feel . Be any idea . Im reluctant to ask an obvious protestant about the catholic vote, but nonetheless, well take your opinion. [laughter] first of all, i have great admiration for the pope. I think hes a very godly man. But i think poll after poll suggests that all americans, including catholics, are concerned about american border security, theyre concerned about criminals, drug dealers and now isis pouring through our borders stuart one second, robert. Yeah. Stuart one second, robert. We should not forget the humanitarian angle here, and i hate to call it an angle, but there is a humanitarian perspective here. Are you forgetting that . Well, there is, but heres where i think the pope and pastors are confused. Theres a difference between the responsibility of the church and the responsibility of the government. As individual christians and as a church, were to show compassion to those in yield. But stuart in need. But, stuart, the government has a different responsibility. Romans 13 says the government is to protect its citizens, and i think the problem is when we confuse the role of individual christians with the role of government which is to keep us secure. Stuart the line i remember is render unto caesar, but thats right. Stuart robert jeffers, thank you very much, indeed, for joining us. Ive got to break in for breaking news. This is important. The European Union says it is poised to restrict passportfree travel in the shin zen zone. That means, ashley, i think, that theyre abandoning or maybe about to abandon the policy of Free Movement in europe. Correct. Because theres 26 countries in europe that ballooning to this. Essentially belong to this. Essentially, europe acts as one country so you can move freely stuart once youre in. Once youre in. The problem, of course, weve seen with terrorists and the refugee problem is that these people can move freely and without accountability. This is a very, very dramatic move by europe the entire union now, thats going to end. Stuart for a twoyear period. The union doesnt end, but the free travel within the union which was one of the biggest selling points in the first place. Stuart another element in the crackup as serious, nato has launched patrols to return migrants to turkey. More than i believe were dealing with when it comes to isis. So when it comes to the pressure, its interesting. Stuart tammy and ashley, thank you very much. No mention of Hillary Clintons growing email scandal in the debate. Instead, they made race a major theme of the evening. Watch this. We are sick and tired of seeing videos on television of unarmed people, often africanamericans, shot by police officers.
