is the one that can beat hillary, this is the one that can beat sanders because i think it's so important. to me, the most important thing is, we need a republican in the white house to change the economic policies and our foreign policies, totally different direction. maria: rudy guiliani, great to have you on the program. anthony and anastasia, good to see you. "varney & company" is next, we're expecting stuart's return, but you're not stuart! >> no, i'm not. maria: he got caught in the snowstorm. >> believe it or not, believe it or not, we've got a lot to discuss. a lot to discuss. maria: take it away, charles payne. >> i know there's a slight resemblance, but he has been delayed and we're tracking him still with our norad technology. the blizzard has delayed his travel plans and a lot of people's travel plans, stuart is in los angeles and he'll be here tomorrow. >> you think. >> we think, we hope. the markets are down another

big drop and we're going to see a big glut because of the storm. what does it mean for the oil market and gasoline. at mcdonald's, the highest in year for sales, and you can thank all day breakfast. a story you first heard on fox business, mike bloomberg, former mayor of new york considering a run. >> and "varney & company" we always go out on top, but we're about to begin. ♪ okay. here is what you're looking at, guys, the market drifted lower and lower and now we're looking at a down opening for the market, after the first winning week of the year last week. oil, of course, setting the stage and oil stocks down, it's going to be another one of those rollercoaster rides and already a tough day for

caterpillar and goldman sachs, downgrading the stocks. you can see it's breaking down big time. hasn't been a winner in a long time and goldman sachs, now they don't like it. the gas prices, rather, they continue to drop and believe it or not, look where gas, $1.82, that's the national average for regular. i want to bring in john hofmeister to discuss oil. it's a new week, we're headed lower and i guess the big question is, last week we had the inventory number for a split second, oil was down, but reversed. can we suggest maybe that's a bottoming area? >> i think it's anybody's guess, really, if it's a bottom or not. i think the two big numbers to watch are not the daily oil trading number because that just gives you a headache if you watch it every day, except for the traders who are doing the trading of molecules. but look at capital spend number and the overall demand number, those are the two numbers that really matter, i think, for people in the

producing world, for people in the consuming world, because too much production with too little demand, yes, we'll see lower oil prices and reverse it and we'll see the opposite. and i think we're really putting ourselves at risk, charles, of a major, major snapback in price because something in the 20's is going to shut in all of the small wells, that the little production wells that will take a million barrels of oil off the market in the u.s. and a lot of them will never come back because those are the strippers wells. >> right. >> so we're going to a danger point where a snap back and harm to the u.s. economy is almost growing by the day. >> so you're suggesting oil a little higher than 20 will harm the global economy even though it's come down from 100? >> yeah, because the price of oil snapping back, given the

value destruction, the destruction in the supply chain of capability, the loss of a quarter of a million people, that many of them will never come back, we're setting up the conditions for a rapid rise later in the year and lord knows what happens when the high oil price starts to stifle other economic activity. >> the irony of it, of course, we've had lower oil over the last year, it's come down, i mean, it's fallen like a rock and still we see a global economy that's struggling with recession and deflation, we see a u.s. economy where a month ago we thought the fourth quarter would be 2% and now it's maybe 8/10 of a percent. i understand your logic, but it hasn't worked that way so far. >> no, it hasn't. because there's been a slight, you know, too much production and the excess production is a play day for the traders because they can leverage that up or down: however, the daily market

psychology is operating. but my point is that we're going to find ourselves short of oil as demand rises, because of the

they're looking for something different. if they want to know the prospects. he should look at how hillary clinton and jeb bush are doing. >> michelle, you you say voters are looking for something different. look at the g.o.p. we've got donald trump, whatever you think of him. this guy understands what voters are looking for. they're looking for a super

alpha male and looking for business unusual in the beltway and the same is true, certainly, of ted cruz. both of these men have been brazen in their critiques of the way that business is done and, you know, both, i think, have brought to the table a sense that national sovereignty and certainly, with donald trump leading on immigration issues, strong border enforcement, yes, he's inartful at times in the way that he has talked about what needs to be done. however, people are this is why the establishment, the noises they've wanted are doing so awfully. i don't think that marco rubio should be happy about the iowa endorsement. i work for two major newspapers, one of them left leaning and the fact that a left leaning editorial board

thinks that rubio shows promise with the g.o.p., meaning making it-- is not good for concerned voters in iowa. >> i'm not sure what the strategy is. michelle malkin, thank you for getting up and spending time with us this morning. you're fantastic. >> great to see you charles, thank you. much of the east coast has been paralyzed with this weekend's blizzard. lauren simonetti has the story. >> i've got a couple for you. there was a storm this weekend. turns out washington cannot measure snow correctly. snowfall totals at reagan national airport were measured incorrectly. the trackers did not use a snow board which they're supposed to use and whiep clean -- wipe clean. and the snow was left to accumulate late and compact. what does this snow look like

from outer space? >> like this taken by scott kelly and posted to twitter. as the sun rose. that's from outer space. a giant panda at the national zoo in washington, had fun rolling around and stretching and making snow angels, look at him go. picking his feet up over there. all right. well others turned to empty new york city streets and the ski slope. >> that's stuart varney! >> and his friend was skiing next to him. yes, they were stopped by the cops, but that video went viral. stuart: thank you very very much. some people say that panda was having a psychotic breakdown. ashley: like a guy in a bear suit. the pear paris terrorists before they carried out.

and vladimir putin, is he becoming more dangerous, next. i know you're my financial advisor, but are you gonna bring up that stock again? well you need to think about selling some of it. my dad gave me those shares, you know. he ran that company. i get it. but you know i think you own too much. gotta manage your risk. and you've gotta switch to decaf. an honest opinion, even if you disagree. with 13,000 financial advisors, it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. ...

>> oil down and, yes, stocks are down yet once again. you're looking at the futures, dow back under 16,000. one bright spot, mcdonald's is set for a record high. strong store sales particularly at the united states and the breakfast working big time for them right now. isis releasing a video with a paris attack. . charles: nine of the extremists, charles, that were involved in the november 13th attacks in paris. very disturbing video, but shows the extent of the planning that went into the paris attacks, of course, that claimed the lives of 130 people at versus locations around paris. and it shows, also, all of it was coordinated from syria as paris authorities had suspected from the very beginning. it's a 17-minute video believed

to be shot in syria. disturbing, it shows these nine extremists shooting and beheading captives and talking about their upcoming attack on paris and threaten the u.k. and show landmarks in london, tower bridge and st. paul's cathedral and even david cameron in the cross-hairs. stuart: the fact that they're so emboldened. colonel ralph peters. your take on the video? >> i think that ashley nailed it. the thing to me as a former military man how thoroughly integrated their campaign plans are, they're thinking about a massive attack in paris and already thinking about using it as a recruiting tool and media operations, how to exploit it after the fact. and that's something, frankly,

we don't do. we need to, we talk about it, but we don't do it well. what really struck me, our reaction is always the same, oh, the beheading, it's repugnant, reput, horrible, how could anybody withdrawn by that. we're so politically correct, still, in our approach to terror, that we miss elementary things, to the young message the islam state wants to recruit, the chance to torture, murder, behead, rape, it's great, it's better than any video game out there and the thing that-- our intelligence, the stripes -- they really don't get and islamic state does get. in times of crisis when things are going wrong and people are angry and frustrated, they don't want rational explanations.

they want revenge. they want somebody to blame and the islamic state knows how to give people an excuse for their own failure. >> ralph, that's what i wanted to talk to you about, vladimir putin, implicated in the murder of a former russian spy. and you have a piece out "if vladimir putin would only become more murderous and dangerous" what makes you say that? >> one, he's never been not allowed to go unchecked. he's gotten no reverse here, and until he hits a wall he's not going to stop. building upon that, the russian economy is now facing serious troubles, primarily due to the collapse in commodity prices, oil and gas, but also the effect of relatively weak sanctions are more or less compounding that. the sanctions are working and by the way, john kerry just

last week raised the possibility of lifting those sanctions in the coming months. same thing with iran and the reason i say putin may well become more dangerous now, because suddenly his imperial ambition, then ear they iterly imperial ambitions is to rejuvenate his military and modernize it. so far the budget for the next fiscal year which is evolving as oil prices drop. it's still fencing in his military operations and military improvements, but that can't go on and my concern is that he's so used to winning now and so angry, as he feels the pressure, he may become more violent, more aggressive, rather than less so. charles: well, one thing, the ruble is nothing and yet, his popularity is high. and hopefully you'll get shoveled out. >> i'm going to start shoveling

as soon as we hang up. charles: a big weekend for the super bowl. the lineup is set, the denver broncos against the carolina panthers. more varney next. we're the hottest young company around but if we want to keep the soda pop flowing we need fresh ideas! >>got it. we slow, we die. >>what about cashing out? no! i'm trying to build something here. >>how about using fedex ground for shipping? >>i don't need some kid telling me how to run a business! i've been doing this for 4 long months. >>fedex ground can help us save money and deliver fast to our customers. not bad, kid. you remind me of a younger me. >>aiden! the dog is eating your retainer again. let's take a short 5-minute recess. fedex ground is faster to more locations than ups ground.

>> okay.

take a look at the price of oil right now. down a buck 20. 30 going to be a new support point? and okay, now, we've got to shift to another area, another stock, having difficulty. twitter over the weekend. four top executives leaving and you can see the shares are going to open lower, complete disarray there, the ceo will probably speak more later today. all right, guys, super bowl 50 is all set. the denver broncos taking on the carolina panthers at levy stadium in san francisco. they were the top seeds in their conferences and jared mack is here. what have you got? >> i think i like carolina. ask me in another 10, 11 games. time to soak in. and thomas davis says there's no way to miss the super bowl. i think carolina brings more.

i saw memes, the offense is amazing. and you did like seattle, i mean, you had seattle and new england a couple of weeks ago. >> yes, but i also had-- ash, ash, come on. ashley: jared did call for peyton manning over brady. charles: okay. so i'm busting your chops. [laughte [laughter] >> this super bowl, i think a lot of people were thinking the matchup we saw between manning and brady, a ratings juggernaut. but this could be-- >> it's east coast and rocky mountains. if arizona would have win here on the east coast i'll watch on sunday and not buy into the hype so much. peyton manning is a story in himself, but the denver broncos defense, what they did to tom brady yesterday. he had been hit no more than 12 times in the season. yesterday they hit him 24

times, and sacked four times. denver has to play near perfect football to beat carolina. charles: thank you, going to be a great, great game. the oil is down and the opening bell is next.

companies are going to be very nervous about doing business with iran. the fact remains that iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. what happens when they are tied to an active terrorism? i think that this is making them nervous. >> announced a day after sanctions are lifted did they will start building trust there again. it is a large economy. i do not think they realize how big it actually is. the europeans will take advantage of it while we sort of wait and see. >> i think the europeans will be slow to move. the banks in britain are being very, very slow. they have been slapped by the americans because of violating sanctions. even though the market is big,

the republican guard in iran has 60% of iranian companies. that will make people nervous about getting involved in the sponsor of terrorism. charles: somehow, boeing did not negotiate a do with them. import export bank involved. that is their stated goal. to get exports going. >> i agree. this whole deal is such a bad idea. american companies will suffer because of it. charles: what do you make of iran. they will bring back all of this oil. they have some barrels and

weight. their whole infrastructure has broken down dramatically. would it be okay, and some respect, or just completely dumb politically? reduced the output. >> i think it will all come back to us. we will create a landline for our companies. iran remains so involved in sponsoring terrorism. i just think a lot of companies will be really nervous about engaging here. charles: i want to talk to you about this isis video. it is just one of these things that isis is known for. it is shocking.

>> it is shocking. at the same time, they have been sending us these signals. they have made it very clear. if you look at the number of isis injured actions that we have had in this country, we are up to 95 now. since march 2014. who have been arrested, killed or charged. we know that they have the supporters in this country. this latest video makes me nervous. they are telling their supporters in this country, go ahead and carry out attacks wherever you can. unfortunately, i think we will see some of those attacks. charles: they give very much, we appreciate it.

charles: shares of caterpillar nerve pressure. while most of us on the east coast digging out of the snow over the weekend, in south jersey, snow was the least of their worries. joining me from phone in new jersey. have not really heard that the flooding was as bad as you are describing. tell us what is going on. >> the southernmost tip of the state. when apples nor thieves, we have a small harbor in cape may.

consequently, coming from the northeast, it has a dramatic effect on the wave washed in the harbor. charles: already this morning, we are hearing amongst jersey oh facials that there are different views what is going on. it is really bad. to your point, excess of sandy. so far, perhaps, the governor not agreeing with them. it could be catastrophic. >> yes. i agree with that. it is a difficult call. the tide was the highest tide we have ever had in history of cape may. an excess of 9.2 c. that leads me to believe it was worse in terms of flooding. i think the difference between

the sandy storm and this one, we had sustained wind between 35 and 45 miles per hour. that creates more of an impact on the water. it does not help with the flooding. tell us about the response from the state and federal government and how long it took for you guys to get your business back up. >> they were very, very prepared. we were very lucky that south jersey was not impacted. they made a couple clicks to the west. we missed the brunt of that storm. i do know that the state government said, they were very easy dish and beard they did a good job. i cannot say a bad thing about them.

>> no one underestimates what is happening. the big problem could be flooding. you want people to understand this. >> yes. absolutely. we had a lot of snow. certain sections where there was absolutely no snow. with the rain that we had, have, it just melted a lot about. it exacerbated the flooding issue as well. perfect. your business, we just took a picture of it on the screen. are you more concerned from an economic or safety point of view? >> i think both for me. every storm that we have been having, it seems that the tides keep getting higher and higher and higher. we are called the storm bar

because we are high and people can get to it. the next one, if it gets beyond that, i have a big problem. trish: thanks a lot. stay in touch with us. we will put out the word for you as well. donald trump cannot stay out of the headlines. better off with him there them may have with president obama. more varney next. ♪

. charles: checking the big board. again, holding steady. we're not used to this; right? let's consider it the calm before the storm. i still think volatility is going to pick up. certainly this week a lot of big news coming out. in the meantime check the price of oil because that's still setting the stage off

the lows of the session. down fairly well. down 3%, that's a lot pressuring stocks as well. shift back to politics here and donald trump making a bold prediction about black voters. watch this. >> look at african-american people in their prime. 30s, 40s, 50s. look at their unemployment rate. they want jobs. they're going to like me better than they like obama. the truth is obama has done nothing for them. charles: david web, the host of talk show on serious xm radar. what do you think of that? >> under the policy of donald trump, blacks would do better. how many times have we talked about this? that blacks should not give their vote to one party, young democrats, however, not at all they're looking at their choices, i get people on my radio show and they say i'm

25, i'm black, i'm 65, i'm thinking about donald trump and what he says. obama did give them promises and no delivery. you got promised all these things. what did you get? double-digit unemployment. black youth unemployment at ridiculous levels, somewhere of 30%, ask look at your future. how can you build a future? . charles: black wealth s down substantially under president obama and yet, you know, it's -- it's tough because he's -- president obama is seen as a hero amongst black people. hillary clinton not so much and certainly not bernie sanders. so i think donald trump would have a good shot. but what happens when they roll out barack obama on the campaign trail? and he starts to demonize republicans particularly donald trump. >> you know what? i'm going to be a little harsh and call it blacks who just vote for him because he's black. if you're going to do that, then you deserve what you get. the problem is your children don't deserve that. they deserve a future. look at policies and to the republicans, i'm going to say this. if you're going to claim you want to help the black

community, you should claim you want to help the american people and tell people how free market capital i am, a real pro growth system, real tax policies, real pair back of regulations so people can operate and own businesses. own what you owe. jay z taught so many blacks about capitalism. he cleaned it up really nice, sold it for 4.99 instead of 99 cents, learn from the people who have done it. charles: well, having said that, i think that does resonate with young people -- including my son who came out months ago and said he wants to vote for donald trump. but by the sam by the same token i think it was friday or saturday, donald trump tweets something from a white supremacy group. those kinds of things, people will vote for that over their own pocketbooks because essentially -- when i say "we," i mean all americans want to know whoever that president is, that person likes me. we still want to think that

that person likes me. >> that's stupid. donald if you're listening to me, pay attention to your twitter timeline, your social media, and whoever else is helping you with it. vet things. you've got to do these things. i washed him become compassionate in south carolina. there was a former employee of his. she had terminal cancer. i wrote about this in my hill article. she asked me for help. she was there, she had gotten permission to come there. donald comes over, talks to her. he takes the picture. encouraged her. there was nothing for him in it at that moment. there were no cameras around except for my cell phone to take the picture. that's the donald that needs to get out there to the peopl. charles: i think that donald is starting to get out there. i mean i know the anger set the tone for this whole thing, and i think he appealed to that, even stoked it a little bit. but a game plan. anger is great but a game plan is important. >> i've got a game plan for donald trump. charles: you going to give him advice? >> i'm going to give advice.

no, i'm serious about this. it's time for that speech and i'm not talking 45 minutes or an hour. in 20 to 25 minutes say, look, as a businessman i operated in new york, i operated conglomerates in different cities, democrats, i gave money to them, everything else. but let me tell you i'm going to govern if elected president. and then lay out a policy platform do that to the nation. stand up and give that address to the nation much in the way while obama did it for the wrong reasons as i see it politically, he did in philadelphia. he through his white grandparents under the bus but resent himself and went on to south carolina. trump needs to reset with the country that my past is not how i'm going to govern if elected president. charles: now, some conservatives are saying that he's going to do exactly that. but what he does that reset, it's going to look a lot more liberal than his campaign has been so far. >> that's the back and forth in politics. everybody has an opinion, even i've got an opinion. what i'm looking at is strategy and tactics and coming out and demonstrating and how you're going to do these things.

charles: but the bottom line is donald trump does promote a pro growth and pro business policy. it doesn't matter what color or age or race you are, when the tide is lifting -- >> everybody raises. charles: we've got breaking news for you right now. washington d.c.'s mayor says that the city's metro will be reopened at 11:00 a.m. but he adds that the clean unis going to add for several days and urges residents if you can stay home. and now to this. goldman sachs downgrading caterpillar, ashley with the details. >> we've got a lot more. okay. we're talking about caterpillar here. goldman sachs saying that we are they believe the beginning of a commodity deflation cycle and they say, well, caterpillar is going to get crushed. they've -- downgraded the stock from neutral to sell. their price target is being lowered from 67 bucks, charles, to 51. they say a plunge in commodity price is just bad news for machinery companies. especially a company like

caterpillar that relies on mining and agricultural companies who themselves are slashing their budgets. so all in all, it looks pretty bleak given what we know about the commodity sector right no. charles: yeah, it has been bleak for them for a long, long time. >> it has. charles: i think there's an indictment on china too. >> down more than 3% today. charles: thank you, ashley. we've got a new study that finds all those friends you have on facebook might not be your friends. >> what? . charles: jo ling, explains that. >> yeah. this comes out of oxford. this is a study that says you may not have as many friends as you think. the average person says only 27% of their facebook friends are actually real. and in their survey they say the average person who participated, say, 150 friends and they said only 14 would express sympathy online if something bad happened to them, which is really remarkable. that's less than 10%. charles: did they do that? if you needed a few bucks. because then your friends really nary it down. >> well, you're probably gotta

less than a couple of bucks or two. is actually -- also shows if you have a larger list of friends, which i'm sure you do, charles, it doesn't necessarily mean you have more close friends. so just because you have 3,000 friends, doesn't mean you're going to actually up the appear ante. charles: i call close associates buddies. >> buddies. i see how it works. charles: the shakeup at twitter. what the heck is going on here? >> yeah. four department heads leaving twitter all at once, you can see jack dorsey cleaning house or also a crisis of leadership in the company as they try to figure out what is going to happen next. it just -- twitter touching all time lows over the past couple of weeks and it's trading below the ipo price. the question here is the two new board members who are coming on the board later this week, who will they be? jack dorsey and other reports saying that it's going to be a big media celebrity personality. so i would like to know who is your guess? . charles: i know kanye was trending over the weekend -- >> and -- kim kardashian.

and the top people that are most active on twitter, i wonder if ellen degeneres might be making her slash over there. because she does use it a lot. she's a media personality. charles: ashton kutcher. >> that's true too. charles: this is what i think, the last six months, if dorsey can't get the job done by the end of the year, you've got to sell the company. >> stock down 56%. >> they didn't get fired, they chose to leave. charles: true. all overnight. >> and these are innovative people who left the company that were often seen as great leaders. charles: critical roles too. media, engineering, pr. >> a lot. charles: well it's peyton manning versus cam newton, guys. this is going to be one heck of a super bowl. right now the panthers are the favorites. we're going to discuss it. we'll be right back ♪ [ male announcer ] fedex® has solutions to enable global commerce that can help your company grow steadily and quickly.

great games yesterday, huh? >> yeah. that was great football. charles: we have to ask right off the bat, who you got? >> i've got carolina. their defenses is one of the top in the league. they're the top scoring team in the nfl and cam newton is just like unlike any play i've ever seen. charles: so if you were playing them in the championship right now, how would you go about trying to disrupt them? particularly to begin -- it seems like you've got to slow them up from going on a role. >> yeah. you have to get at them early. they do such a great job of running the football. if you can get to a lead on carolina, that kind of limits what they can do. makes them one-dimensional. but, you know, stopping cam newton is a tough task. he has the flamboyance of a cornerback, physical like a linebacker. charles: although the broncos have serious people on the defense. von miller, i think this is the first time in super bowl history the first and second picks are in super bowl against each other.

if they can get after cam, they can make it a hell of a game. >> yeah. everyone said before the game tom brady, his release is too quick. there were a couple of times that von miller got to tom brady before he caught the ball. charles: that two-point conversion, brady looked wiped out. that is as exhausted as i've ever seen him. >> yeah. got hit 23 times that game. that's 12 more times than he had all year. so denver did a great job. their defense is lights out. charles: we have to talk about the manning factor. because he'll be the oldest quarterback in super bowl history. he brings a tangible to the game and that could make the difference. >> yeah. his leadership, his composure under pressure is unlike anyone else. he's so smart, you know, with calling audibles. knowing where to run the football -- charles: what does omaha mean? >> i think we're all trying to figure that out. but he does such a great job presnap of seeing what the defense is going to give him. calling the play that's going to be -- put them in the best

position and scoring from it. charles: so i mean, listen, nfl can't be happier. a lot of people joking of course that rodger goodell really breathing a sigh of relief. not handing that super bowl championship over to the patriots. that might have been an awkward moment but the league itself, these playoffs have gone pretty well so far. >> they have. they have been the most exciting playoffs i've seen recently. they had some great games in the wild card level next to the divisional finals were great. and afc -- nfc championships were wonderful games. so this league has been growing. the popularity is growing. and they're putting a great product out on the field. charles: now, having said that, one of the things they've been having trouble with is of course the perception amongst the younger players, big push back in a lot of places. former nfl star barry sanders actually says letting kids play football is pretty good. but, you know, just be aware of the risk. you don't hear -- the big story has been a lot of former players saying i wouldn't let my kid play. >> uh-huh. charles: you've got a star like barry sanders who, by the

way, quit early saying, yeah, it's okay for kids to play. >> yeah. i think it is safe to play, have you just to educate the coaches. if they look dizzy, and they look like they got their bell rung a little bit, take them out of the game. you have to be smart, the nfl has made great strides in health and safety. charles: you know, my son didn't like football, he kind of played because of me and his second practice, he had to go out with a concussion. strip his head to a gurney and everything. and as a parent, i sat there with tears in my eyes because i kind of forced him to do it. >> thanks for having me. charles: up next isis discussing a megamerger. we're talking about the axis of terror becoming reality. that's next nobody move! get on the floor! do something! oh i'm not a security guard, i'm a security monitor. i only notify people if there is a robbery. there's a robbery. why monitor a problem if you don't fix it? that's why lifelock does more than free credit monitoring

long time, the only difference now is it's overtly talking about what are has covertly going on and these are the islamist of the sunni variety, the al-qaeda, muslim brotherhood, swore allegiance to al-qaeda. there's a confidence now happening to fill in the vacuum. libya is prime territory for that because of how chaotic it is because we haven't supported civil society there. and this is also happening in response to the shi'a islamist forces be it iran, assad, and syria, they're seeing now billions of dollars flowing to the shi'a radical, the sunni radicals have to respond saying, hey, we're present here with we're going to call the caliphate before you establish. charles: does it combine to being a vigil? >> absolutely, and i hope the west wakes up to the fact that this has been a threat. isis hasn't been a threat itself. prime minister cameron also

talked about the conveyor belt of the muslim brotherhood ideas. so these are all common threads from the ideology out of saudi arabia. all of this is confluencing now, and i hope we wake up that it's the same trough of political islam, the land of islam and the land of war that they view in the midwest. charles: al-qaeda also saying that this hope this move would inspire islamists in other countries in tikal jeer i can't and egypt. do you see that happening? >> absolutely. now in the defense in egypt, so they are looking to find this and also the french concerning what's happening there, so they're going to push that movement, we're going to see it where isis has had a big movement as well. so the entire region now being filled with radical sunni islamists where they can put their ideas down. >> well, we're going to talking about this a lot more in the future.
