out making as big implications on impact on oil, one of the few allies in the middle east. and this is a situation, one formal american is a worst-case scenario for the united states. especially when you factor yemen, a president obama's insistence with iran. with the credibility of send the long-range missiles passed europe. "varney and company" is about to begin. ♪ charles: check the big board, the dow is down but nasdaq wants to go higher and has been higher all day long. an exciting tug-of-war session. sitting around $47, a lot of things going on including the
11:01 am
largest in 80 years. the kbps. you know what the blue chips are having pressure? they had a disappointing fourth quarter and were not for the full year. investors don't like what is happening, they are pounding the stock pretty bad thinking of the hit. i want you to take a look at mcdonald's. profits down 23% in the last quarter and also warned january sales are likely to be negative but looks like it is turning the corner. maybe millennials i changing their minds. we will see mcdonald's seeing it faces significant challenges for wall street. the big story the day saudi arabia's long time rollicking bob dahl led dead at age 90. his half-brother, deputy prime minister salman is taking over assuming the throne, he assumed the throne shortly after abdullah bin abdulaziz's death. the president of the american islamic forum for democracy and author of the book battle for the soul of islam. you are not shedding it here.
11:02 am
you say america ones a new friend, you disagree? >> i look at this as a reformer someone who wants to see the transformation of the middle east with liberty and freedom and those are not words uttered by this family. the new king will be the same as the old king. ultimately the sad thing is kings die mercifully but daily if not weekly there are liberals who are trying to reform is long to stop the radicalization that may be an ally but abdallah oversaw countries that created the radical ideas of al qaeda that attacked us on 9/11, that attacked us at fort hood, continue to attack harris on and on. i see no moral difference between the terrorists in paris and the house of saud who torture muslims because of laws they have in the government that prevent reform necessaries for
11:03 am
true modernization. charles: across the internet i even looked at the beginning of a burmese woman in saudi arabia. the be heading was an illegal act, and underscore is the things you said. a lot of people the enemy of my enemy is my friend. in this case we're talking isis. is that enough for america to embrace saudi arabia despite the negatives you laid out? >> in the short term in our whatcom will program it makes sense because al qaeda is our immediate threat across the world but in the long term we have to abandon that. that made sense in the cold war when we had bigger threat with the soviets and the middle east was a playground of finding the any of our enemy but now as the arab awakening is happening liberals on the ground are looking at america as hypocritical. to hear the president say the king had the courage of his convictions, come on. what are those convictions?
11:04 am
they are aggressive, they are evil and we need to call it state to state if we are not hypocrites of religious freedom and the principles we supposedly defend. if you want to counterradicalize and not prevent what is happening in yemen and across the middle east, we can't continue to embrace the any of our enemy because we don't have the same allies. >> it seems our pool of allies is shrinking every single day and that puts this in precarious situation near-term. iran with this intercontinental ballistic missile, who knows how far it can go? it could fit any country in europe and maybe one day even go across to our shores. israel alone can't be the only friend that we have even if we have to look away from certain indiscretions or what happened to the idea of back door diplomacy, the new crew in saudi arabia, younger, more a educated, have gone to western schools the idea that let women start driving cars that women
11:05 am
vote, stop beating people in the middle of the street, you think we can let those things live at the same time? >> this is why daily, weekly the president needs to letter from his lips the names of prisoners of conscience, prisoners who once we start honoring them, just like reagan added the name and we call the soviets the evil empire, we can work with them with short-term similar goals against al qaeda and others that these oppressive regimes are producing the radicals victims of al qaeda, all while the fuel every barrel they sell radicalizes muslims in their homes and across the planet. if we are going to change the paradigm we need to have a strategy against jihad globally which is the advancement of liberty in places like yemen will deteriorate and the middle east will divide into a sectarian battle between two sides of the same:radical islam is in from the shiites in iran and radical sunni islam from al
11:06 am
qaeda, hamas and isis. charles: what is the answer? we follow what you just said what we are talking about is this goes back to the death of muhammed. will be the heir apparent? which religion is real and which one is intended longest the other one is the infidel or false religion this never stops. >> this is why we need a leader of the free world and in europe free world leaders to look at the blend of history today, where we are, not where they think we are on mars. the state of the union was missing what is really happening. islam today is where the west was in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century when they were rejecting a theocracy as we have an opportunity now with the arab awakening in egypt, no one is talking about how to nietzsche voted out right, is longest have been secular, democratic parties there. stuart: islam modernized against theocracy shi'ite arsenic, we
11:07 am
have to start empowering on the ground the movements of freedom in all these countries can see it on a daily basis and we are not doing that. charles: glad we have your police. to nietzsche, birthplace of the arab spring, it is amazing, glad you came to share your thoughts with us and at the back again real soon, thanks. charles: on saudi arabia let's look at oil, and change, mary kissel from the wall street journal editorial board with us. king abdallah's death led some point have an impact on oil. a lot of theories out there but one of the big fees, the band wagon i am on a saudi arabia's less grass at controlling the oil market, sent prices down to chris kirk rivals particularly american fracking. >> exactly right but the rivals they are trying to crush our russia in iran. i don't think the death of king abdallah will have any major
11:08 am
impact on how saudi arabia is looking at the oil market because there is something bigger had there. there is an existential threat to saudi arabia's existence. the passage of the king, i don't think it changes their attack on the oil market. charles: we talked a little bit about the arab spring. i remember in saudi arabia, a little nervous, giving out a lot of money they must feel the time has passed to allow oil to get this cheap but they may have problems with succession and things like that. what happens if there is internal turmoil there, family members, the crown prince salman is 79 years old. >> i don't think he will be in for a long period of time. i worry less about that transition and more about how the obama administration is going to handle it. saudi arabia feels very under threat not just from iran and russia but from isis, the forces
11:09 am
outside, they don't really trust us any more. we have the crown prince and wall street journal editorial, one of the princes in the editorial page. he used strong words it was shocking interview because he said where is america in the middle east? what are the goals? we see terrorism spreading? where are you guys? charles: in the state of the union address -- >> everything is fine. it doesn't even exist. doesn't even mention it. charles: by the way what was the biggest we that we had that everybody fired up in the editorial meeting for the show this morning? youtube stars interviewing the president? what about the present factss plans for the 529 plan? the thing that got everybody tossup was hockey. which one is better starbucks or dunkin donuts? starbucks is up big today and you loved their coffee. weigh in on this one. >> happy to weigh in on this with everyone watching "varney
11:10 am
and company" will tell you whether they love starbucks or dunkin donuts. they have more food, 9 million more customers than the prior year. at the new york stock exchange, walks around, did a survey. it says, this is a terrible survey and 26 like starbucks. all those -- this is the way to go. if i go to dunkin donuts on order a triple espressos. charles: i am not a fan of either one. these espressos all day long case nasty but are strong. >> really getting in vain. charles: i am an ex alcoholic.
11:11 am
the best thing for me as espresso. is amazing on the floor, the exact opposite does it like big-time, not afraid to spend 5 bucks on a cup of coffee. >> we have one here and there was always a line here. charles: there was always a line. imagine if they brought up starbucks. everybody watching this show. it is at an all-time high. president obama, youtube store closed out yesterday same person on your screen bathing and fruit loops. are we being too harsh on the president with respect to this? criticizing this interview? >> call me cynical but youtube is owned by google, a big backer of the president, this is a big pr event so i connected the
11:12 am
dots, and surrounded by sycophantic. charles: doesn't think he could be intellectually challenged, how can you challenge -- >> he is comfortable with these people. he is very frank. he says things like wouldn't it be great to take money, suck money out of private banks. the internet takes down north korea. end more pressure on castro. it was a frank, open into view. charles: was there any push back? >> i don't think so. charles: wall street editorial board -- >> not sure that is west time. the office of the presidency

fox, finally gone public today and postponed this idea own twice, the waiting worked off a. 56%. rolling stone magazine the headline here americans sniper is almost too done to criticize. here's a quote. to turn the iraq war into a saccharine, almost p g rated cinematic diversion about a killing machine with a heart of gold and very slowly starts to feel bad after shooting enough women and children that was a hard one to see coming. concerned veterans for america ceo and fox news contributor is with us. something tells me you have a different idea about it. >> myself and the over $100 million in ticket sales who fled to this movie because they believe in what chris kyle stood and fought for, when he died for, what he put his life on the line for. he put his life on the lines of
11:18 am
folks like matt taibbi and michael more could make absurd comments and statements that the bigger issue is it underscore is the anti military nature of hollywood. it panders to the value in this statement does michael more native week, this is the full article making effectively and anti military case. they like to celebrate we support the troops but not the war but when it comes down to wet, they are dumb, ignorant over the religious, bloodthirsty, that is how they see chris kyle and that leads through this article. charles: they have a hard time trying to hide their disdain for the warrior themselves. what about the notion that america not only glorifies war but act like we are the only ones who have been victimized we have to kill everybody else on the planet because they offended us or scare us. >> war is hell. war is difficult. people died. that people die, good people die, people who deserve it and
11:19 am
innocents. everyone acknowledges that including chris cotter libya looking into these when he was alive, he talked about moral conflict between watching people die at the tee couldn't save the iraqis and americans. one phrase matt taibbi used was chris kyle was a killing machine with a heart of gold and that is america. we have the biggest, baddest most powerful military in the world that could kill anybody it wanted but we have a heart of gold, we believe in american exceptionalism and the cause of freedom so we're judicious in how we apply it just like how chris kyle is judicious in how he applied his violence as a sniper. america is a great story with the powerful military. we defend free people and we don't counter that land. that is what we should talk about not criticize the sniper's doing his job. charles: i think he meant to the heart of gold angle differently. what i worry about is because the left has been so adamant against first was the war in vietnam and the general topic of war itself to america is the
11:20 am
policeman of the world, at the end of the day won't people around the world suffer more if americans don't show up to help break up civil strife and dictators? look at syria. we are closing in on 200,000 civilians dead. the idea of parking america's military killing machine could be death to the entire planet. >> isn't that right? is not america -- who is it going to be? who is behind as ready to carry the vanguard of freedom? the bridge could hand over the guarantor of freedom to was after world war ii but there is no one else to be the guarantor of the free world and if we decide to sit it out, decide not to confront the big challenges of the date is not that russia will takeover or the islamists will takeover it will be chaos which is exactly what we are seeing in libya and iraq and syria and afghanistan and all the places where we decided to pull back. american leadership stabilizes the area and make sure the forces of good have a forceful seat at the table. history is not over and we are not sure where things go.
11:21 am
charles: keeping the peace is the foundation that created a billion extra middle-class people in the last two decades. you mention the money angle, we brought adam shapiro in. over 100 million. in the first few days. >> that was the first four days 107 million but now we are going into the second weekend of this film and is projected according to variety and take in $45 million. put this in perspective. we have two huge movies opening this weekend. jennifer lopez and the bully next door and johnny depp in this thing called modified. it takes in 12 to $15 million and modify is expected to take in 10 to $12 million the americans sniper will take $40 million and will be the largest second weekend ever for in any film in january, pre ticket order sales.
11:22 am
this film resonates with the majority of americans. that matt taibbi article said something about this. is the fact the movie is popular and actually make sense to so many people that is the problem. that is what he is saying. to what the previous guest was saying, what matt taibbi, america is good and people who are watching this film understand america is good and have no problem saying it or believing it. charles: that is like putting an end on your head with this pledge of allegiance. a lot of people don't like the concept of that. i don't know if you were smirking when i was hyper bolick about america saving the world. think about what happened in asia. none of these countries will prosper without the u.s. navy failing up and down and letting trade happen. we are not in the middle east

sure starting to sound like a capitalist. "the government will not create jobs. it does not have to. people have to create jobs". mary, did you ever think you would hear something like this coming from the lips of bob dylan? >> kind of blaming the billionaires. yes. the fact that he does the interview at all shows that he is a capitalist. [laughter] charles: the cheapest ticket would be $500. >> aarp is a big obama supporter and a big supporter of big government. charles: he still admits that government cannot do it.
11:29 am
this is what it is all about. all of these new cash policies. when it comes to creating jobs, it has to be business. >> the president said, i created a lot of problems. let's just keep doing what we are doing. charles: president obama wants a -- get ready for a serious fight on capitol hill. stuart: performing some of these welfare programs. they will come down on you like a ton of bricks. you are a vicious, nasty mean-spirited guy. >> you summed that up very, very well. ♪

11:35 am
so not. it almost goes against every selling point. it is really a war on the middle class. just look at how middle-class income has stagnated. he wants to tax the 529 college savings plan. these are savings that make a little bit more to qualify for aid, yet you cannot pay-as-you-go. the only way they can keep up is to set up these plans. they can get protected from the taxes. now, he wants to eliminate pat. you cannot call that middle-class economics. p 16 to your point tax-free.
11:36 am
spend it on education. anyone in the family can make contributions. they say that these plants hold over $200 billion. it is really just rich people that are taking advantage of it. here is my problem with this administration. they only want to punish rich people. the average small middle-class family is getting hurt. >> more than half of these are families that make over $150,000. that is why these plans are so critical to them. the only way that they can get their kids into college. the left continuing its penchant for picking winners and losers.
11:37 am
charles: a lot of things were thrown out in the state of the union address and since then. would they cap individual retirement accounts? 521 plans? would they change state taxes? >> that is the tragedy of the whole state of the union message, charles. bill clinton was in the same exact situation that barack obama is in now. clinton was facing the first republican congress and 40 years. he comes before the congress to give his state of the union message and he says, i get it. that is when he made that famous proclamation. he reached across the aisle to the republicans. together, they did some more racket with things.
11:38 am
in clinton's words, they ended welfare as we know it. the result was the economy absolutely blossomed and bill clinton secured a place in history as one of the more popular president in our age. that model was right there for barack obama to use instead, he squanders it. charles: maybe the message is i want my legacy to be great amongst empire mental list. amongst progressives. amongst the left. the era of big government is just beginning. >> that is why they elected the biggest republican majorities in both the house and senate since 1928.
11:39 am
history is already being written. charles: thank you very much, congressman look when talk. >> president obama himself used the plan back in 2007. guess what, he does not want to tax those plans. he takes advantage of it and then he wants to tax you. charles: this is just another one of those obstacles for job creators. >> the department of labor has an office and they set the rules for minimum wage over time. charles: $15 minimum wage. do the math.

12:03 pm
are trying to save money. not for some mansion, but trying to put their kids through college. 12 million of them. only 5% of them are with people that make over $250,000 a year. the president of the united states in 2007. he and his wife put $240,000 into his 529. he took care of himself. charles: the hypocrisy is there. the damage to the opportunities i feel like the more the president talks about with his ultimate vision for the economy the more i see economic success sawed into half. >> absolutely. we have seen this in other
12:04 pm
countries. the attack on individual accounts. all of the various accounts that allow you to save for your healthcare. he wants to damage those by taxing them. in argentina, when the government tensions were not doing well $3 trillion of unfunded liabilities for government pension plans. the governor of argentina swept in the equivalents and took them over and said to the people, you are now on the government's plan and we took all of your resources. they suggested doing just that in the united states. >> a lot of people are free.
12:05 pm
i should be okay living off of $200,000 a year. how does anyone tell me what i should be able to live off? if the president wants to take a pitchfork, it should be against these kinds of policies. >> there should be a cap on how hard you can work and how successful you can be. your life savings should be confiscated after a short time. first of all everything the president said he wanted to do on tax increases, none of that is happening. to your point, people heard him say it. if hillary clinton gets elected it is on their to do list. why should i start to save now
12:06 pm
hoping i could accumulate something when someday they will take it away. he is killing savings now with an idea that will not happen while he is president. charles: why shall i save? why should i build a business? grover, thank you very much. really appreciate it. >> good to be with you. charles: i want to bring in larry from chicago. talk about saudi arabia. >> a chance to sell this market again. the blessed place for oil. certainly, a knee-jerk reaction with his death. they had a plan in place. for the people that do that,

they are facing those problems. we are talking about younger voters. they are probably not reading the "wall street journal." they probably are not reading though washington post. quite frankly, i would like to see republicans be a little bit more innovative in our outreach to young voters. charles: i think maybe -- grabbed a handful of those froot loops and have a candid conversation. >> jeb bush. if you look at someone like marco rubio, he sat down with somebody like jq and talked about the rap songs that he listens to.

12:38 pm
>> no surprise. go deeper into the review and the author says the politics of the movie are so ludicrous and idiotic they are reminiscent of the world view of the walnut sized mind of a president who got us into the war in question. the aids bush, he's the iraq war and doesn't like a movie. the amazing thing is many on the left despise this movie, many on the right have embraced this movie. it has become a political battlefield as well as the war movie and i heard you say earlier $100 million in revenues so far good for the box office. charles: great for the box office and already set all kinds of records for a january opening. what you are talking about criticizing everyone, every american who like this or buys into this, somewhat stupid or backwards. >> the thing about new the criticism is you don't need a license to do it. anybody can play. the movie like this that is seen
12:39 pm
as political overturns and involve the controversial war, it provides an opportunity to fight that war will use the clint eastwood movie as a way of saying it is a terrible film because, rather than judging it on its merits listen critics may like and some may not but it has become such a political football i think we have to discount this kind of extreme language in the rolling stone review. charles: i got almost everything rolling stone puts out but something like this -- >> stories like gains rate at the university of virginia. charles: journalistic credibility in sinking down the tubes quicker every day but isn't it interesting that hollywood was once fixated on the iraq war afghanistan in such a negative way yet movie after movie failed miserably at the box office and here comes one directed by a republican clint eastwood with right leanings if you will, that seems to have captured a gigantic
12:40 pm
share of the american imagination. is there a total disconnect between hollywood and mainstream america? >> politically it is hard to argue against the notion hollywood is a left-leaning place, a gives barack obama a lot of money and when movies are made or green light to the extent that they have political overtones and is not just the lego movie, that will be reflected in a lot of projects. clint eastwood spokane republican convention to the imaginary share representing the president. he will make a different kind of movie. it touched a nerve in the heartland of america and the left does not like this film. charles: thank you very much. obamacare, thousands of patients and new regulations. find out which one's domino's pizza is calling at impossible disaster. >> i hid the fact that the nanny state is in my hamburger. i hate the fact that the nanny state is in my people. government has no business in this.

12:46 pm
taking those private jets to fly to davos to discuss climate change. there's more. here is what he said about other networks covering davos. roll the tape. >> come on financial networks, introduce the individuals who are supposedly covering as journalists as though there were superstars. >> super bowl of business gathering in davos, we have some truth all stars. >> goldman sachs's lloyd blankfein. >> nonexecutive chairman steve miller. >> ceos from etna, dow chemical lenovo and a lot more. >> the monsters of money! charles: charlie gasparino is in davos and we are trying to connect him. >> this story, i am glad john stuart finally agrees with us here that it is ridiculous the amount of money they're spending. al gore as charlie reported from davos actually took a commercial flight. the rest of the not so much. before finally got it.
12:47 pm
charlie is with us and joining us from davos. what do you make of it all? >> we do not make the john stuart klipper real. no fox business in that. i have been saying that, one big circle, you know what. the interesting thing about this the panels are in danger, there is a panel about meditation that went on yesterday or the day before. it is all but touchy-feely topics about making the world a better place and i think to be honest with you basically to protect the fat cats and allow them to do their sleazy business on the side which goes on at all the parties, all these other gatherings and restaurants. what goes on isn't the story of davos. what goes on in there is the sort of dream of what it should
12:48 pm
be. the unreality of the reality which is fat cats, someone like larry think we brought before. meeting sovereign will funds in davos. it is not about climate change or anything else. charles: stay out of trouble. we will see you again real soon. >> i was at a party where the cops rated last night. charles: i did not hear it. the swiss franc is a too much. have a good weekend. talk to you again soon. i got to tell you these guys are not happy about the obamacare provisions that require restaurants to post calorie counts for all the items on their menus and why, you may ask? get these guys, there are 34 million different pizza combinations on their menu. we are talking about a manhattan sized yellow pages, they had to
12:49 pm
post all these calorie counts, 34 million combinations that would make for the world's most incredible man you and 8 huge expensive course for domino. we are joined by domino's executive vice president of communication. obviously they didn't have you guys in mind when they put this one through. >> they did not. it is interesting because we have really -- we are not against providing calorie information for our customers. we have been doing it voluntarily for 14 years and we do it on line and you and do that with 34 million combinations, you can do it on line in a viable and helpful way for consumers. the way the fda has interpreted this in their manhattan sized phone book interpretation of this is it is a murky and complex and unworkable for us. charles: what happens when restaurants don't comply? what if you don't? what is the penalty?
12:50 pm
>> that is an interesting question. that is part of the murky section. they talk about compliance and they say there has to be a forced sign off for somebody that says i certified this is the correct number of calories and face a third could be criminal penalties if we somehow make a mistake. maybe you could go to jail. charles: wouldn't that be ironic? no one from the wall street bubble went to jail but someone selling pizzas behind the slammer because they sold one with anchovies and all lives. i you talking about some sort of exemption on this? >> we have been talking to everybody that will listen and we just want a common-sense solution. we offered one up, we think for pizza companies. the main way to label should be online because that is where the majority of customers are going today. that is where we can label it to work well for our consumers. for the consumers we want it
12:51 pm
that way but workability for small-business to not burdens them with something expensive no one would look at. we offered great solutions and continue to make noise about this until hopefully somebody hears us. charles: in the meantime i will add something to your legal defense fund this weekend so don't fret. >> and order a pizza. charles: that is what i am going to do. i want you to check it out, my favorite artist of all time, this is a painting we are told is worth millions. you will find out many millions right after this. how could a luminous protein in jellyfish impact life expectancy in the u.s., real estate in hong kong and the optics industry in germany? at t. rowe price we understand the connections of a complex global economy. it's just one reason over 85% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average.

12:56 pm
for over 40 years that a painting of his has come on the market sell is an incredible ready. charles: it feels like that is low. it feels like -- again i think of the work and how amazing it is and the historical significance and again, looking, you see crazy numbers, how does this happen? >> they do represent incredibly good value across the board and it could well be, the estimate is 3 to 5 million, but it's worse be on that price. i do agree in the general comparative relative terms on the low side, to be able to buy a painting by one of the most revolutionary artists who ever put into easel is really remarkable. charles: again, because there haven't been any sold in a while
12:57 pm
this is a discovery process that may go for more. >> absolutely. probably his earliest known work, one of two or three versions that he painted. you was just setting out as an artist. you would go on to be the favorite painter for popes and cardinals and the richest most powerful people in rome and naples, died at a relatively early age. charles: a great life story too. the auction is this week. >> the auction is on wednesday. >> where are the buyers? these auctions, there was a lot of foreign money coming in and buying these pieces competing against these. is that still happening? >> i suspect this will be a private buyer. we had interest from places like china russia. charles: we have got to go. i love the painting, it is my favorite. more varney after this.
