tv   Varney Company  FOX Business  September 29, 2014 11:00am-1:01pm EDT

11:00 am
showing weakness as you can see, some economic data out this morning and really strong numbers from the dallas federal reserve. time for "varney & company." have a great show. stuart: thank you, maria. yet again something happens over there and we pay the price over here. yeah. good morning, everyone. this time it is hong kong. taking to the streets to demand democracy. they were met with tear gas, pepper spray, beijing coming down hard. will the democracy demonstrations spread? 1989. that is the newest backdrop to the wall street selloff. hitting an already wobbly stock market here. don't forget alibaba took tens of millions of american dollars when it launched here in america.
11:01 am
"varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ let's get right at it, hong kong and our market here. the dow industrials down 84 points in the very early going. "wall street journal" editorial board is with us. both you and i have lived in hong kong for many years, we have done that, we understand what is going on there. i see this is a real challenge for beijing. you? >> yes, it is. a challenge that has been building for months if not years, stuart. hong kong was promised full democracy by 2017, and in july beijing this is supposedly reformed government said actually hong kong, you are not going to get that. in august they came out again and said by the way when you do have elections beijing is going to pick who runs.
11:02 am
hong kong is important not just because it is a major trading and financial center, not because it is a beacon of free market given opportunities to millions of people for decades, it is important because it is the bellwether for china. what this says is the regime in china has no interest in democratic reform and i'm afraid, stuart, if the demonstrations continue, which i believe they will come you can see violence on the part of police or gangs they send in to excuse it. stuart: suppose it spreads, supposed similar demonstrations where i believe there is something coming up in the near future. charles: it is a special ministry of territory in china but far more infiltrated by the communist security forces and it is far more servient to china. i think the real danger for the one-party state in beijing is if
11:03 am
you see across the border where you have slightly freer press than the rest of china, protest like what is going on in hong kong happening over there. >> they would move heaven and earth to stop anything from happening in beijing. >> i don't think there's any question china will do whatever it takes to crush these protests, and i hope very, very much the u.s. government and especially britain come out with much stronger statements and thethey have the last couple of hours. u.s. came out and said, and i quote, "we don't take sides." we don't? stuart: what about alibaba? they went public and they raised over $20 billion american money, which has now gone for a chinese company. is there any relationship? >> all you have to do is read disclosures and that investment. they knew what they were getting into, but how are they
11:04 am
prospered? by getting into the charmed circle of making friends with the leadership in the country. stuart: which is now cracking any suggestion of democracy in hong kong. who runs alibaba, relationship with beijing and hong kong. >> one of the most important elements is the people in hong kong have experienced the awakening. the democratic leaders of the past, these people have largely moved from the scene and now you have a whole generation of people who want to preserve freedoms in hong kong. stuart: it comes at a time of our market is already looking wobbly so this is just another negative that is out there over there. it will not go away, we are going to stay with it with people who know firsthand the importance of these riots and the clash with beijing. now look right now, the market down 87, we were down 140.
11:05 am
growth concerns and the political unrest in hong kong is hurting our market here. more on the growth concerns later. s&p 500 right now down about half a percent. as for the nasdaq, how is the technology stocks doing right now? not as bad as the blue chips. somebody asked me the price of oil, not much, it hasn't been moving much recently. still around $1200 per ounce but the 12 year treasury is now well below 2.5%. that has a loss to do with the rest of the world slowing down. down on the 10-year yield. the maker of "shrek" and "how to train your dragon" down. dreamworks. nicole: this stock is up about 17% off the earlier highs. the reason why dreamworks animation's to the upside, hollywood reporter is actually
11:06 am
reporting japan's softbank may be interested in buying or tying up in some way with dreamworks animation. $3.4 billion deal roughly again on reports, as you noted they can use "shrek," they can use it for mobile services to market the brand and what is interesting is now we're seeing lions gate getting a pop on the news. the reason they are getting a pop is because they aually put a buy rating and noting now it shows the franchise value is really evident it is invaluable in fact have a lot of names in the asian market as well. b names such as hunger games, divergent, the names of they are tied up with. it is about the asian story coupled with this great franchise. stuart: japan's richest man. he took a ton of money out.
11:07 am
to the economy, working age america is not working although one in four of people prime time for working on employed, not looking for work or they will not get a paycheck. from washington. this goes the whole concept of the disconnect, the spin of this level is positive, reality on the ground is nothing like that at all. i can't remember a time when a quarter of the prime working age population was not working, can you? >> the president eventually with 60 minutes giving an interview about how wonderful the economy is, how many jobs have been created and it is a divorce room reality because with these statistics are telling us is we are just shy of one out of four americans in the prime of their working age are not working.
11:08 am
3.5 million prime working age americans that have dropped out. stuart: you can't say this is people going into college because the prime working age is 25-34. so what is going on here, what is going on with that quarter, that age group that is not working? >> i think there are two factors here. we have a shortage of jobs. i think we will get a good number on friday for jobs but we are still half the level of jobs we would normally be in this stage of a recovery. not the supply of jobs, but the second one that is overlooked too often is demand. that is a lot of americans have dropped out because they have other alternatives for income and i'm talking about welfare. when you have 47 million americans on food stamps and expanded medicaid, extended unemployment programs, you've gotten rid of work environments, cato institute study shows you
11:09 am
have a full list of benefits, 35-$40,000 tax-free without working. i think that has something to do with it. stuart: i think you made your point very well. i want your take on something in the financial times this morning. a poisonous combination of record debt and slowing growth suggests the global economy could be headed for another crisis. that is pretty strong stuff, i think that has to do with today's market decline, what do you make of it? >> i love the rise in the dollar, we will get a good jobs report. we had a revision of gdp that came out late last week that showed business investment was up more than we thought, that is a very important, positive leading indicator. now i have to tell you, i have been wrong the last two years. whenever we have an upbeat
11:10 am
assessment of the economy, we dip down again. this could be another one of those bounces, but for the short term, i am bullish. have to explain to me why the dollar is doing so well, why businesses are starting to spend again. those are very optimistic signs. for the short term, i am optimistic. stuart: one thing that surprises me is the dollar. i thought of the australian dollar closely, one australian dollar, i'm not going to ask you all that you have done, but 18 months ago one australian dollar is worth $1.10 u.s. today worth about 87 u.s. cents. that is a huge decline and a huge run-up for the u.s. dollar. i have to believe a flight to
11:11 am
safety all over the world you have this massive debt that printing money like crazy, america stopped printing and we are relatively stable so up goes our dollar. >> i'm going to challenge on that one. there is something to that, it is clear you just noted the interest rate on the 10-year treasury bond dropped with the news of what is happening. every time there is turmoil around the world, stuart, people rush to the dollar. it is the flight to safety. but then explant me like my the prices are falling and why the price of gold isn't fallen. if you really want to safety, the gold price will rise. you have to explain that one to me, stuart. stuart: you don't get the price of gold to go up unless we have inflation. they are killing me. you lost the argument, so get out of the interview. >> i think you've got a good
11:12 am
come back. i am not so young. stuart: we will see you again soon. we will dig deeper into this disconnect in our next hour. there are dozens of restaurants, going to tell us about the restaurant business as a result of president obama's policies coming up. how is this for hypocrisy? billionaire couple beyoncé and jay-z at the global citizen festival. this is a festival about inequality aimed at ending global poverty. roughly 60,000 people attended and left quite a mess behind, didn't they? so what's the dumbest readers who left trash all over new york the week before. moving swiftly along, item one. a new study says regulations cost taxpayers more than 1.8 trillion every year. the judge has something to say about that.
11:13 am
forbes released an annual list of the 400 greatest americans. bill gates tops the list for the 23rd year in a row. 100 alien heirs did not make the rich list. and investors: $60 billion out of pimco after the cofounder bill gross left the company according to charlie gasparino. they really did not like gross at pimco, so can you shout at your colleagues and keep your job these days? now there's a question for you. don't shout at me be at president obama blamed intelligence community on the rise of isis saying they underestimated the group. intelligence community is not happy about that. here next. ♪

11:16 am
stuart: now look, the market is coming back. we were down 142. maybe it is because this is the middle of the night in hong kong. they have certainly wound down because we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. maybe that is why the dow is coming back a little. the biggest losers are big oil, energy is dragging down the
11:17 am
entire market. the big-name blue chips are losers on the dow this morning. look at the price of oil, pretty flat, $93 per barrel. president obama blamed intelligence unit chief underestimate in the rise of isis in iraq and syria. mike baker responding to that with this. >> we've been reporting not just the cia but military intelligence have been coping information into the white house for up to two years now on the growth of the islamic state, on the chaos that was created by abandoning iraq, assessments on the concerns over the readiness of the army, the technical leadership command and structure. stuart: intelligence new t is clearly not cap with what president obama had to say on
11:18 am
"60 minutes." neither are the voters. that is when usama bin laden was killed, down 38%. fox news contributor judy miller is here. was that a pivot, it is not my fault? >> my head is spinning around so much it is hard to steer straight at you or the camera. it was a pivot, the transformation of barack obama into a wartime president, into george w. bush, who also blamed intelligence community for bad information which led to bad judgment, but this is worth in a way. i will tell you why. it is true the head of the defense intelligence establishment said yes, we underestimated isis strength and we overestimated the iraq government capacity to fight back, but in fact michael flint, the departing defense intelligence agency guru
11:19 am
testified this is exactly what is going to happen. seizing territory, they were going to seek deep roots. john mccain stood out publicly and said in january the black flag of al qaeda is now flying over falluja. we have had warnings after warnings after warnings and the president disregarded the intelligence he got. it is not that he got bad intelligence, would not pay attention to the warnings our intelligence community was giving him. stuart: do you think you'll ever pivot again toward saying we're going to be straigh destroy isis therefore we need the marine corps in there. could he have chosen that kind of pivot, would he do it? >> i think it could be possible if the poll numbers continue to deteriorate. is this a true change of heart for the president or is this political expediency?
11:20 am
it is a question all journalists should ask. >> first 12 have to distant was between intelligence bush got with poor intelligence, it was wrong and intelligence president obama got which was correct and he chose not to act on. the question now is the distance between what the president says he wants to degrade and destroy isis, and here is what we have to do to achieve that and what the president is allowing to do. the rhetoric is one thing, but what h he's letting them do on e ground is quite a different one. >> he is laying the groundwork for a pivot on the ground because as he had one of his key advisors say it is not possible to do what we want to do without boots on the ground so after the election he is laying the groundwork for turning around on this issue if he needs to.
11:21 am
stuart: mi right to say, his men paul ryan address this? now this morning, san paul ryan on fox business had this to say about president obama's handling of the pentagon. >> at a time we have all of these threats when the president is acknowledging the threats, proposing to devastate the military. the budget negotiations, they use defense as a bargaining chip and are happy my opinion to cut defense because all you have to do is look at the budget. stuart: cutting defense dramatically. >> it ensures that is going to happen. congress also has to now pick up this issue again and say perhaps an army 450,000 men and women is not good given the power play of threats we face. >> one other thing about that interview that was very worrisome, the president advocated response ability for what happened to iraq after u.s. troops left.

12:35 pm
markets here so concerned about the pro-democracy riot riot over there in hong kong? >> i think the market is where they remember china will not hesitate to use force in the remember half of china's trade will disappear absence china. this has a potential to end very badly. >> a potential to end very badly. you know asia very well, i know hong kong, i used to live there. i've never seen anything like that in all the time in hong kong. do you think this is a prelude? >> i have been up most the night with a lot of contacts over there. the news coverage of this is being blacked out in mainland, china. it is not been reported in the media yet. in hong kong demonstrations seem to be the gathering force so i don't think this is going to go
12:36 pm
well in china decides it is not going to tolerate the threat to the capitalist party. stuart: i doubt they would allow this to spread to beijing. maybe just across the border from hong kong, that'll be another major negative for wall street. >> i agree. that is a very realistic possibility. all it takes is a flash of instant and they lose control be at stuart: think you for joining us as always. a big name and you know it, state farm: this ad because rob schneider stands on childhood vaccine. here is dr. manny alvarez with the fox medical a team. first of all, is there a link between childhood vaccinations and autism? >> not that i know. i have searched this very carefully. there is no scientific evidence whatsoever. more papers keep coming out
12:37 pm
saying there is no link. autism is a complex disease, genetic component to it. it is a different category. the simple fact you can take one vaccination and somehow you get a neurological defense response that leads to autism is just not there. stuart: what they have done is created an environment in which some parents have no vaccinations for their parents whatsoever. >> i hate these people, and i say this, they hide behind celebrity status, a big social media following. very talented actor, i get it. but come here, debate with me and scientific form what your ideas are. just because freedom of speech is there and people can say what they want to say when it comes to scientific information you
12:38 pm
are being irresponsible, and if it was a doctor saying that, these are the two just statements you're putting children at risk when a child dies of the measles, and they do die of the measles, what will you say to yourself? there are pockets in the community we see with people not being vaccinated, diseases we did not see before. because that is the land of know what else. sophisticated people in social media, i guess the whole thing. we are seeing measles, whooping cough, and it is getting worse and worse and worse and worse. so this whole issue of public figures hiding behind the celebrity status to contaminate the mind of good hard-working americans is irresponsible. stuart: i've seen cases where
12:39 pm
the family that vaccinated the children refuses to have play dates with another family whose children would not be vaccinated. >> it is creating confusions. a new proposal in which is a parent does not want to vaccinate the children, they have to get a doctors note, the doctor has to sign it, not the parents. i would like to see how many doctors will start signing notes for children going to school without vaccination. stuart: a doctor would have to sign it. no, you don't have to have this vaccination. >> good luck. stuart: you will find a doctor who will do what you want to do. i like the actor. stuart: like the product. i am with you. appreciate it. a new social network billing itself as an alternate of facebook. it is growing fast.

12:45 pm
facebook is run visit we do sell ads, the advertisers are the customer and the users, what is being bought and sold. they are the product. on ello we are just making a social network that is fun to use. stuart: it is an invite only network. to tell us whether or not you should jump into it is mashable senior tech correspondent. welcome back to the program. we just said this thing is surging in the last couple of weeks. what is the big deal? >> they're getting 30,000-50,000 ads an hour, which is huge. to backtrack a little bit because everybody is sort of confused. it is spawned on the anti-facebook people are saying because they have a policy you have to use your legal name and this upset the community because people are using different
12:46 pm
names, they don't want to be tracked, this is a way for no advertisers to collective action about you and you can be whoever you want to be. stuart: if they invite me and i accept the invitation, i can use any name i like, don't have to prove it, nothing. and that is a privacy thing. they will not sell, they cannot sell my information because they don't know who i am. >> if there are no advertisers, they can hire the talent in order to fix it. that is one of the major challenges recently. stuart: where is the money coming from? >> we don't really know quite yet. there have been some talks they will have membership, fees and stuff like that, but we really don't know just yet.
12:47 pm
there are people really looking outside of the facebook and twitter box looking for something different. what is interesting is people are going onto facebook and kind of boasting about how they have a ello request. just another place to be. stuart: ello has to say stuart varney, we want you on. that is how it works? >> or if i get a request, i can send it to you. you can ask for a request, granting certain people a request. it has been kind of choosing and that is sort of the factor, you feel sort of special, i guess. once somebody is on the site, they can send an invite to somebody else. stuart: 35,000 per hour? >> 30,000 to 50,000 per hour on friday. stuart: could i invest in ello?

jetblue. in the past when you say you like a stock thing goes straight up, today it is up $0.04. explain. >> we think it is, we look at the longer-term. a great position to make some more money, a new ceo, he seems more interested in profitability and the predecessor. lot of free goodies, a lot of legroom. we believe they could start charging for some of that and add a few more seats to the planes. stuart: you say there is room for them to come down market a little bit. a little bit more like bare-bones airline industry. the idea is to start charging for some of the stuff, it would
12:55 pm
have an effect on earnings per share. >> you can do that because most of the flights are jampacked full even at very high prices for jetblue has room to maneuver for more revenue and the current passenger load maybe reconfiguring the plane? >> right now they have 20% more legroom than th some of their competitors. still have more legroom but if you more seats on the plane. stuart: i don't think that will be that unpopular. do you know for a fact they have a plan to do that or are you just offering advice and say if you did that, your stock would go up? >> the ceo has indicated he is more open to that kind of thing than in the past, and we think that is clearly the way for them to go to become more profitable. we think they will be at stuart: jetblue is outstanding newcomer.
