>> all right, guys, market hanging in there. not a rally, but i'm going to hand it over to neil. neil: where's stuart? [laughter] >> good question. neil: we have video of him at a sandals resort. it's so weird. [laughter] so i'm not -- i'm not buying it for a second. all right. thanks very, very much, charles. i'm just kidding. wherever you are watching this at any sandals resort nearby, stuart, we're just joking. in the meantime we are not joking, one week away from the iowa caucuses. can you believe that? all of this buildup for the caucus event. the caucuses themselves are poorly telegraphed in polls, in fact, polls are rarely right, in fact, over the last 25, 26 years, they've always been wrong. very, very wrong. a lot of that has to do with the nature that these caucuses are carried out. so does that mean that the presumed favorites in this race end up being that way on monday night when fox business will be going wall-to-wall on this? anyone's guess.

lisa and caitlyn berns now on the history of iowa surprising folks. well, the last two republican contests are good examples of that, lisa. we didn't see the final winners in polls that were being done just the day before on the democratic side pretty much the same thing. although the democratic winner tends to do better in the longer term than the republican winners. but handicapping all of that out. how do you see this going? >> well, neil, you're right. historically iowa caucus goers have made up their minds, you know, within just a few days of the iowa caucuses. so that could potentially happen here, and i would say this election cycle has been one of the more fluid and unpredictable elections -- or presidential election cycles in recent history. who would have thought someone -- governor scott walker would have a quick rise and fall in the way that he did? or that donald trump would be leading the polls right now nationally? this has been an incredible unpredictable election cycle. but the name of the game here and what's so important is

evangelical christians. evangelical christians make up about 60% of caucus goers and if you look at 2008 and 2012 when governor mike huckabee and rick santorum won, they won christian and evangelical christians, so that's going to go to the iowa caucuses. neil: and those evangelical christians who dominate the caucus activity in iowa, they like donald trump. he would not come first as a church going favorite. now, that's not to disparage donald trump, i think he would say as much. but here he is on top these of latest polls. what do you think. >> right. and that's why you saw donald trump attending church services over the weekend in iowa, which is a first for him. neil: yeah, i will i'll tell you what was a first for him. staying at a motel. that shows he's very serious about going all the way here. >> exactly. if that doesn't tell you. but i do think in iowa the race is really between ted cruz and donald trump at this point for that first or second spot. i think both campaigns

reallying need to win iowa. i mean trump's campaign is based on the idea of winning. not winning would be a blow. although i do think he could continue on and do well in new hampshire. and for ted cruz, i mean he has been running a campaign really tailor made for a state like iowa. tapping into people -- regular caucus goers. people who consistently turn out. so i think that could make a difference this time. neil: you know, lisa, it's interesting that terry, the governor of that state was not keen on ted cruz. really ripped him a new one. it has been a long time the des moines register with their respective picks, hillary clinton on the democratic side and marco rubio on the republican side, the endorsements weren't quite they were, for example, in new hampshire likes chris christy, he's polling in third or fourth, depending on what poll you buy. but what do you make of that where the state or the establishment part of the state is saying "no" to ted cruz.

>> well, look, i think those endorsements put these respective candidates out in the forefront and inducing them to certain caucus voters or goers in new hampshire that might not otherwise know much about them or learning new information. so it's important in that regard. but i think iowa caucus goers will make their own decisions and same as new hampshire. you know, right now the name of the game is getting to that 1,236 delegates -- or 2,470 needed to win the nomination. and although iowa only makes up about 1% of those delegates needed to win the nomination, what it does especially right now when we have such an incredible crowded republican primary field is it starts to weed out the candidates. and what's interesting is we'll likely see after iowa candidates like rick santorum and mike huckabee who won iowa in 2008, 2012 potentially leave the race as a result of the caucus. and i think we'll see a weeding out of that establishment lane like jeb

bush or kasich or chris christy potentially drop out of the field after new hampshire. so what this is going to do is serve as a process of weeding out some of these candidates as we move forward in the nominating process. neil: caitlyn, i still don't see anyone having those 1,236 delegates by the time we get to theconvention, do you. >> especially if you figure that donald trump and ted cruz and possibly whoever emerges from the mainstream lane continues on through this race, we have candidates competing in a variety of states this time. not just iowa or just new hampshire. what i do think is overlooked in a state like iowa, however, is the mainstream or established-oriented vote. we focus rightfully so on the evangelical base there, which is critical to winning the state. but there is a segment of the electorate there that is interested in a mainstream republican. and that's where that third place finish will really matter. so if rubio can secure that,

secure the -- or, you know, christy or another candidate can secure that third place spot, then that gives them momentum heading into new hampshire. . neil: all right. we'll watch it very closely. i thank you both. >> thank you, neil. >> thank you. neil: in the meantime enter one michael bloomberg, you thought there was only one billionaire in the race, new york city mayor who many say big money bought his way to city mansion here to be governor or to be mayor i should say for three straight terms. very much interested in eyeing an independent run for president. bloomberg nation spokesperson on why that might make more sense than pun. he's leading the way for a bloomberg run. good to have you, richie. the argument seems to be that mr. bloomberg wouldn't entertain this if hillary clinton ended up being the democratic nominee. is that true? >> so i don't speak for bloomberg at all. we're unaffiliated grassroots movement of citizens thank

he's the right person for the elected office. neil: okay. i understand. at that. so you guys don't talk at all. >> no. weir not affiliated with the bloomberg camp. neil: has he ever talk to you or you to him then. >> have not. neil: okay. in this independent run if hillary clinton ended up being the democratic nominee that apparently he likes her, finds her views more in his mainstream seeking, is that true? >> i don't know. i can't speak for mike bloomberg, but i can speak for our community of community of leaders that believe that mike bloomberg would make the best president. he represents the american dream. neil: okay. now, he certainly has done a lot with a little the way he -- he has a massive fortune getting fire from a brokerage firm and then turning it into billions upon billions. and one of the most successful billionaires on the planet to put it mildly. but the issue with independent runs as you know is that you can garner a lot of votes, russ perio garnered the votes

but not a single electorate vote and you must know that. >> so we believe that by creating a grassroots movement of people around the country banged together, we can create the positive swell and support needed to change and transform the way that -- neil: how would you sell it then? how would you get that grounds flow going? what would you be featuring? >> so first we started on that. since the site went live, we have people joining all across the country and people as far away as germany and canada join the movement from washington, chicago, all over the country really standing behind it. neil: those in germany and canada, are they american citizens or germans and canadians? >> people who want to see change happen. primarily it's american citizens and it stands in the tech community. neil: that community feeds to the extremes. i guess on the republicans and

the left on bernie sanders, but is there a way that an independent candidate even with his money because as i've said it's been an uphill climb. >> we believe that placing bloomberg side by side with anyone in the election would speak further itself. his results -- been a person of action with a track record of results. neil: yeah. >> the only leader in the election that has turned around the city. new york was on the brink -- neil: no, he was a very effective mayor. but i know he has conducted internal polls to give this a viable run or see whether it would be worth his run. those polls must have looked favorable for him going beyond just talking about this. >> i can't speak for mike bloomberg, but i can speak for our group of citizens that want to see it happen and doing our best to push the movement forward.

and we'll be creating a lot of media and leveraging the best tools in digital media to spur the conversation and inspire a new president to hopefully win office. neil: so you have nothing in it for you. in other words, if he were to make the run, you're just doing this out of a patriotic that you want the guy. >> yeah. it's my patriotic duty. neil: thank you very much, richie. spokesman, again, no ties to mr. bloomberg himself but, again, if bloomberg were to run. you know, in the meantime back to hillary clinton and these e-mails, that seem to be gathering a little bit more steam. what she knew and when she knew it. former attorney general on why this could amount to something here. there are a number of folks who is -- general, very good to see you. >> good to see you,. neil: that it could amount to something but that the justice department would be hard-pressed to follow up even if it came to that fbi recommendation to take action

against her. let's say that were the case. fbi recommends taking action and they don't follow suit. then what? >> then i think you get the kinds of distribution we got at the time of watergate with resignations and i don't think it's going to come to that. neil: resignations where? >> at the bureau. for sure. including possibly the director. i'm -- i can't speak for him. obviously. but if he were to recommend a charge in a case this serious and it were not to be followed -- neil: that would be unusual and certainly legal or justice department history, wouldn't it? i mean if the fbi were to recommend something and it didn't follow up? infrequent as it is. >> i don't know whether it's frequent or not. and i've seen the fbi walk in to the door of the u.s. attorney's office with what they think is a case and it turns out not to be. but this isn't that kind of thing at all. neil: what is it? >> it's huge. i don't think that this is going to end happily for mrs. clinton given the kind of

evidence and the amount of evidence that we've already seen. neil: the amount of evidence being top secret data and information -- >> being top secret data, her clear knowledge of what was there. and her instruction to people to send classified material and unclassified setting. . neil: so when she said at the time that she didn't know or see it as such, it was only taken and relabeled that after the fact. do you believe that? is it a possible? >> it's possible that something came to her wasn't labeled classified. on the other hand she was the secretary of state. the information contained in there was classified whether it was labeled that way or not. so to say that it wasn't labeled classified and was labeled only afterwards is saying absolutely nothing because it's the information that's protected, not the label on it. neil: all right. so she could be in real legal trouble here. and even if the justice department didn't follow up

recommendation the fbi -- hypothetical it may be. a lot of people could say she could survive even that minus the other drama of possible fbi resignations and people standing down. avoiding that, she could still survive. >> that's a political judgment, i'm not a politician. but it's hard to see how. neil: why? we've seen it before. we've seen it in the irs who many people said should have been investigated but were not. >> lois learner wasn't running for public office. neil: what difference did that make? >> being elected. neil: no just to be hands off. if there was a hands off policy with lois learner as there was, whether hillary clinton is running for office or not, i agree with your summation. but they might argue it's the same deal. >> i suppose they might. and by survive, you mean survive without a charge being brought during this administration? i suppose it's theoretically possible. but i thought you meant survive politically. neil: so you think surviving

politically is what's healed, hell, in question here? >> well, do you really think that the american people are going to elect somebody as to whose there have been recommended charges of -- neil: if it came to that. >> if it came to that, it's hard for me to see how. neil: all right, judge, thank you very, very much. in the meantime we're going to have a lot more on the political fallout from all of the above, electric including in the state of iowa where right now hillary clinton is battling it with bernie sanders and trails in this race with so far any such charges being considered or weighed. so imagine if that were to pass, it would pass certainly by the time of the iowa caucus this week. we're providing live coverage on this on fox business 8:00 p.m. eastern time and ahead of all next weekend in iowa special shows for fox news and teasers for fox business. ahead of the big vote, again, on monday night. the caucuses are slow and often drawn out affairs. i think the last time we were on air until 2:30 in the morning and it was like gerri

lewis of the end of the telethon. and i don't want you to laugh at me and i'm very vulnerable. we have a lot going on in the markets here. it's a big deal pending between tyco and johnson deal. this is a $20 billion one. but here's the interesting thing about tyco. based in ireland. you know what the deal with ireland. it has a much lower tax rate than here, and they're talking about a new inversion that right now is legal on the books. should it be? donald trump joined president obama say that it should not. stick around. you're watching fox business. iall across the state belthe economy is growing,day. with creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow.

i think they lost a lot of people when they talked about the 10,000 character limit on messages and the like. whatever. twitter can't seem to get out of its own way. in the meantime nothing like what's going on with mcdonald's, it's the first dow stock to hit a record in this new year. it's one of the best performers. in fact, by far the best performers. certainly within the do you as i predicted going breakfast all day long did the trick. let's go live to my video when i said this is a good idea. you know,. [laughter] well, we didn't have the video. handy but i did think it was a good idea if they had breakfast all day long. they weren't supposed to flash to me there. all right. scott martin on companies looking to avert taxes on what we heard coming out of tyco and johnson controls. now, tyco, i think the deal right now that gets its attention, scott, is the fact that it is technically based in ireland with a much lower tax rate. maybe you've heard this

before. and it will take advantage of that lower tax rate and there's nothing you can do about it because it's all perfectly legal for the time being. what do you think. >> yes. it is all too familiar. and it's due to tax policy. we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. and remember, if you're a company that's traded on the stock exchange those days, your number one obligation is to the board and certainly and your shareholders. so what you do as you try to lower costs. you try to raise profits, and you do that by averting these tax issues, so that's why you go overseas in this case. neil: you know, you and i have chatted about this before that you could avoid a lot of these problems in the united states if you just even the tax scale. i think companies -- they don't look to leave or look to branch out unless it's so in their financial interest to do so and survive that they have to. but all of this would go away if we had a less prohibited tax system or at least one that was on a scale certainly ireland.

>> i totally agree. and we've heard that kind of conjecture out of many candidates in the up coming election. and, listen, i'm all for it too. if they want to change the deal, that's fine. but i think if you're going to change it on companies, you have to give them a little bit of a by pass here. whether it's a corporate tax holiday so that they can get things in order that, yes, if they do change and stop going overseas, at least they have a chance to organize everything before they dome sile everything back in the united states. neil: you know what i wonder? ander companies will do this as well, the thinking of we don't know what next november will bring us, but we better move fast now. and this deal is just a preview of coming attraction. what do you think. >> i agree. and even the tail of look at the economy. the economy is struggling to grow certainly in the u.s. but certainly struggling overseas, which is where a lot of great american companies are getting their revenue. so look at the weak parts of the economy.

this deal with johnson control today is a good example. the industrial sector, manufacturing sector is getting pummeled. so in those areas where they're suffering, you bet they're going to look oversea. neil: mark just dug himself out of all the snow. thank you, buddy. >> thank you. neil: you might have heard something once or twice about a snow storm in the east coast, it was easy getting into work today because a lot of people decided not to go to work today in washington. a lot of people decided to skip out today. i always like it when they say only vital personnel or those who are important should back and forth going to work. so in that city, i'm told that 90% did not. i don't know what that means but i'm just sharing it anyway because i like the little chuckle. more after this

♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪ ♪jake reese, "day to feel alive"♪

neil: well, the storm is now gone but the cleanup and all day residual side issues and the finger pointing, that's

all just starting. connell mcshane on all of that. connell: hey, neil, this was a big one and the cleanup will be just as big. there's an impact on this storm up and down the coast. number one the human impact, there are more than 30 deaths blamed on the storm, whether it be heart attacks of shoveling snow or carbon monoxide poisoning from sitting in their car. there's also an economic impact. we're trying to look into that. that's a little bit tougher but 40 inches of snow in west virginia, 29 in baltimore, almost 27 here in new york. there's going to some impact, productivity people not able to get into work. in washington d.c. for example, federal office buildings are closed today. they only got their metro system up and running about an hour ago and here in new york long island railroad still limited service. so a lot of people had trouble getting in from the suburbs to get to work. there's a company that tried

to put a number on it. huge change between 350 and $850 million. so there's something there. but sometimes people just shift their spending around by a pair of gloves or jacket or some people delay their spending, but they still spend money at a later date. now, two things, neil, that should help us to absorb it from this time around. number one this happened on a weekend, so definitely more people being productive and working today than, say, if the storm hit today or tomorrow. and the second thing this is our first major snow storm of the year. so what really hurts the economy is when you have a sustained period of awful weather like last year or the year before. so first bad storm but it was a did you sey. neil: . neil: why weren't you covering the storm outside? connell: well, the way i like to do it, i'll cover it before they hit, which is what i did on friday, but now that we

have snow on the ground and my shoes are polished, i like to do the reporting from inside. neil: and you're fashionable. >> that's right. neil: thank you, buddy, very much. connell mcshane. jeff flock now on the blizzard might be gone but travelers are realizing it ain't over for them. not by a long shot. jeff, what's going on? >> a bunch of wimp reporters in new york and washington. neil: you and me both. >> i hear you. but the cancelation board here in chicago and this is wrecked air travel in a lot of places, mainly in the northeast. that's the dc national and flights. they're trying to get one out if you're really a big frequent flier and going first class, you might be able to get on that flight. if you look at newark and wil laguardia, those are delayed but they're going, baltimore has cancellations today too. look at the total since it started on friday, the cancellations that is over

1,500 cancellations. 700 plus delays. if we look just -- or that's just today. since it started 12,000 cancellations since it started. i'm looking at numbers from flight aware on the worst locations. newark apparently today the worst. 55 cancellations. reagan about 250 combine. so i mean i just talked to a woman here who has been stranded here in chicago for three days trying to get to dc. you know, just not happening. so what can i tell you? they're not as used to it there as we are here in chicago the snow apparently. neil: yeah, she and connell i guess. all right, jeff, thank you very much. >> yeah. shiny shoes, though. which is nice. neil: i guess it's more important to look good than do your job. >> priorities. neil: priorities is right. thank you, guys, very much. if i can get in the middle and start a war between these two, i think i've succeeded. we have a lot more coming up including iran. we know they have their hands on all of that money, the

dollars making their way to them, the sanctions frozen, making their way. so what the first big purchase they make? well, for a lot of airbus planes and what do you think that was a big ol' sink or two? well, a lot of boeing planes. we fly, you decide. i've been called a control freak... i like to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast. mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro. i don't want to live with the uncertainties of hep c. or wonder whether i should seek treatment. i am ready.

because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who've had no prior treatment. it's the one and only cure that's one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients... can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. with harvoni, there's no interferon and there are no complex regimens. tell your doctor if you have other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you.

.... .... ....

....

neil: that did not take long. having their hands on some of those long frozen sanctions. not to the country that opened up this big get for them, but all those other countries that did not. they are doing just that. amy collard right now on iran's president wanting to do more business. not necessarily with us. amy. >> u.s. sanctions remain in place. needing to exercise a lot of caution before doing business with iran. a lot of untested waters there. conditions on all of this are divergent. president obama has to really sell the deal. europeans are racing to sell goods to a very hungry iran. it is not just the first trip by an iranian theater in decades. a huge delegations.

120. thirty cars needed to transport them to their meeting today. $18 billion of deals are expected to be done over the days here. including in shipping, railroads, infrastructure. the list goes on. the groundwork was laid. 300 italian's. it went to iran last year. a nuclear deal. not the first time the pope has met and iranian leader. an invitation to, this iranian president could extend an invitation for the pope to visit iran. no grass growing. as you said, already over the weekend. there is a lot going on. the trip was proposed to what happened back in november.

it was put off until now. last emerging market. iran. neil: emerging market. thank you very much, amy. amber smith on who iran is trying to tough up. the europeans on the other hand. both trying to do business with iran. what do you think of all of that push a mark. >> i think that we will see more and more european countries. china, russia all looking to jump headfirst. iran has the money to spend. over $100 billion. as well as the possibility of gaining $30 million a day into oil revenue. china relies heavily on iran. they are also looking to reopen the so-called new silk road, railroad trade route between china and the middle east.

we are seeing some of these major players in the world, china and russia, sort of looking to get in on this alliance with iran. neil: not a surprise they do not want to do business with us. think about it, we would feel a kind of bit weird if they did. i guess money talks, doesn't it. >> it has. we have to remember that all this money and all these business deals continue to embolden iran. a state sponsor of terror. the leaders of iran are funding these proxy wars around the globe. they invite continued aggression. promotes instability. essentially, more war. iran is starting to see the alliance with russia and china as a pathway to success.

looking to get into the fight against isis in the middle east. they will continue to draw in more and more people into this iranian alliance. neil: should we be pushing for u.s. companies to take advantage of this? airbus will be a beneficiary. the chinese, of course. trying to get some upper hand. should we just say that evil is evil. these guys are corrupt and the leading sponsor of terror. when, in fact, we have given them the money. now unfrozen assets. the weird box to be in. >> it definitely is. we do not do business with state sponsors of terrorism. we do not make deals with terrorists. we have to remember what iran's bottom line is here. they are still going to be looking to instill those nuclear

ambitions. having that dominance and power in the middle east. not only be a regional player, but a global player. we have to remember what the intentions are ultimately down the road. doing business with other major players on a global scale. a state sponsor of terror there. still looking to destroy israel. they are still funding terrorism around the globe. neil: let's take a quick peek at the dow. again, off that much. much concern about oil prices. mcdonald's. some earnings. as a accurate earning. an all-time high. again, as i predicted. that is just the way i roll.

they will be down year-over-year. markets really cannot get going in a big way. our fed is no longer printing trillions of dollars. the next few months will be trouble some. i think we are going lower when all said and done. neil: not a rally. still a soft market. >> i do not think that we will see higher rates. probably avoiding a u.s. recession. long-term rates going lower in recent weeks. they could in theory self there bond portfolio. that will cause a recession. inflation is so low right now. they are very limited to what they can do to restrict money and rates.

you will not engineer a recession. >> i have a theory on the fed did less inclined to follow the markets. full employment right now. you and i can dispute the ability of those numbers. whether they reflect real job gain. it is steady as she goes. maybe not this meeting. what do you think? >> i think bernanke was watching the market every minute of every day. i do believe that she is watching markets. they do dick tape policy. i think that will be an issue. i do not think that they are raising rates. if markets worsen, it will tell you that the economy is heading south. i think that they want to raise

rates, if possible, right now. i just think it would be a big mistake at this juncture. >> hope things improve. oil settles. going back up. you love to see well inflation. it will be nice to have low rates again. just cannot go to that right now. they cannot drive our dollar up another 30%. that is why the earnings are weak. we have already had that increase. they cannot just keep grinding up our dollars. overvalued currency. neil: thank you both very, very much. we are just a week away from the iowa caucuses. i am talking about the folks that give money to the candidates. a week from now. they may decide to put up or shut up. leave.

♪ . . . .

neil: we have a tweet from donald trump focusing on his major opponent we're told in iowa. it is time for ted cruz to either settle his problem with the fact that he was born in canada and was a citizen of canada or get out of the race. say what you will of these questions as to whether ted cruz is natural born american citizen , donald trump has discovered they have arrested what was ted cruz's ascent in iowa. in fact in some of the latest polls, which are all over the map, they certainly show that ascent stop and donald trump moving in front. some polls a little bit. some polls a lot. noelle nikpour is says that is the idea to have voters question whether ted cruz is viable candidate going forward. noelle, when you add the state's governor questioning whether cruz is viable candidate

especially given ethanol views, "the des moines register" backing one marco rubio, obviously for a lot of the establishment folks there or the media it is anyone but cruz, what do you make of the pile on here and how it affects cruz supporters and donors? >> i think it really does affect. where its into where i specialize in, national fund-raising it is going to really, i think that if you are for cruz, and you're committed to cruz, you're going to keep on the cruz train, especially it is so close in iowa. now, if they're trying to get new funding, because there is a lot of other donors out there that have not committed to you know, the cruz and rubio and what not, they're still out there. some people give to walker back in the day and they still haven't committed to anything. we have a lot of old bush donors, some billionaires, haven't gotten off the train. not because they don't want to support anyone else other than

jeb bush, they just don't know what to do and a lot of people were putting skin into the game in that jeb bush race. i think a lot of donors. i talked to about eight of them. i emailed them before the segment, saying, what are you doing now? i got emails from five of them. they told me they're sitting. they're not writing any checks right now. the newest thing whether or not bloomberg will get in the race. strategy on the trump folks back to your point, hammering on the canadian issue. you have the governor of iowa stating his deal on the ethanol thing, that's hurting ted cruz just a little bit. now, those numbers may push trump up but see trump is not really asking for any money. once again leaves donors cash sitting still once again. neil: but you know this would be remarkable if it were donald trump would win this evangelical state. i'm not casting religious aspersions here but obviously

would change the mix here if a guy that is ted cruz, who up until a week ago was favored in most of these polls to win iowa, suddenly loses iowa, donald trump goes on to win new hampshire. we've got a different ballgame, don't we? >> we have a very different ballgame. we also have a ballgame, if you want to look a little step further and beyond, donald trump he is running on the gop ticket. but he is really not in the stream of you know, the gop main establishment or really anything. you know he really, he is not beholden to anyone. there is no real donors associated. there is no real big team associated. so, let's just say he gets the nomination and he wins to be the president, he really, you know, no one on the infold really with inhad. there is nobody crows to the vest with trump. there is not a lot of people cutting side deals. a very interesting campaign i

think that is why it ticked off a lot of people in the bush camp or establishment camp, because they have to no in with him. who will get ambassador appoint ment and appointments from all over and being advantage working on the team and working hard to get a president elected. it is really throwing the whole system out of whack. neil: but they are coalescing around him. a little too early to tell. he is not the fool they were trying to make him out to be before. >> no. neil: that could represent a little wiggle room and maneuvering. noelle nikpour, we'll know when we have the live coverage of iowa caucuses beginning here at 8:00 p.m. till whenever. gina loudon on another "fox news poll," republican voters are frustrated. they feel because of lack of a

better term the establishment. nigel, that should help with donald trump and ted cruz, to those type of voters. only one can succeed but what do you think of that? >> the dream scenario a lot of tea partiers, after the primary would have cruz-traumaticket or trump- cruz. it is american nationalist, america firsters, revival of buchanan brigade that are base of trump's supporters. cruz supports say the debt is too high and we need to reduce size and scope of government. those two wings reinforce with each other and if they continue to wage war -- by the way, they're first and second virtually every state poll around the country. neil: that's right.

>> the problem if they keep going to war with each other, some establishment figure like marco rubio, which is kind of ironic, could sneak up the middle and seize the nomination. neil: we'll get into someone who is looking at that pretty closely including that newspaper endorsement. gina, you said something profound last time you were with me as you always do and nigel as well. not that he is turning voters away turning off with the republican party might do that for latinos and women but could he bringing far more into the republican party, people not only never voted republican but never voted at all and that is something uncharted. what do you make of that? >> this should be a huge lesson to the establishment that all those people out there, neil, when you and i were talking about we don't need the raise debt ceiling. when the government shuts down, not end of the world, that the

too big, too powerful, establishment is talking about, they were predicting they would have nowhere to go and vote republican. they didn't. they found a candidate in trump and they're not sitting down. it is fascinating if you just look at the rebellious nature of the fact that the gop has essentially chosen a donald trump and a ted cruz as their two viable options for president, this ought to be a huge lesson to the establishment. but you know what, neil, i bet awe million bucking they still don't get it. neil: i don't like to bet a million bucks. maybe a burger. maybe a burger. >> maybe a double. neil: thank you you both, very much. pete snyder, on this, "des moines register" being paing marco rubio. the register rue teenly support one on democratic side, one on the republican side. hillary clinton on the democratic side, marco rubio on the republican side and rubio sort of a bridge candidate. does that paper's backing, i

guess i could extend it to all newspapers backing change things? what do you think? >> i don't think so, neil. if you're running for president, especially in the crowded field that we've had in the republican nomination cop test, you're marco rubio, you're thrilled you get this endorsement. i'm not trying to knock that. in this day and age in 2016 i don't really think it matters that much. if you look attract record of "the des moines register" they have never picked iowa caucus winner for democrats and only picked republican oner a third of a time. i don't think it is very predict tiff. if you're marco rubio you have to be happy about it. neil: ahead of "des moines register" hit piece on you tomorrow, let me get your tense of iowa period. for democrats it's a much better scenario to go further and win than it was for barack obama eight years ago, than it was for republicans because it didn't really help mike huckabee eight years ago or rick santorum four years ago. why is that?

or is that just the oddity of the parties for the time-being? because it also dovetails nicely with poll numbers invariably that never show the ultimate winner either on the left or right? >> new hampshire folks like to say iowa picks corn and new hampshire picks presidents. that is an old adage. i think this year you could actually win iowa and new hampshire. that may happen. i think donald trump has a decent shop pulling that off. neil: if he does that trump wins both iowa, evangelical state, he must be serious he went to church yesterday, he stayed at a motel, motel, if that doesn't show commitment -- >> i heard he said the mattress was clean. neil: i make that point to show a little bit of seriousness, what if he were to pick both states off? >> i think he runs the table. i agree with you. i think donald trump is

underrepresented by about five to 7%. folks really backing him wouldn't at the cocktail party or neighborhood kegger at mid it to their neighbors. i think he has real strength. if this were anyone else's name beyond donald trump, insert any other politician people would say he will lap the field. media is just discounting it because it is donald trump. neil: what i find amazing, say what you will, every candidate he targeted or responded to he says, he says he only responds when they try to pick him off, many will argue he responds with a pea shooter with a anvil on their head, having said that, every candidate he wrestled he knocked them to the ground. in this latest case, stalling at very least stalling ted cruz's numbers. what do you make of that? >> only one to do well with battle with donald trump is you and make again kelly.

jeb bush was sunk from the beginning when donald put him in his sights. he really absorbs a lot of oxygen in the media. what could be snarky comment from one politician another become as four-day news cycle. it is stifling for other candidates. neil: amazing. pete snyder, former rudy giuliani pollster. he is uncanny prescient on some of these trend. we'll call you then that is if "the des moines register" doesn't trash you in the interim. more coverage of the iowa caucuses on this fine network will begin 8:00 p.m. eastern time. we'll be there doing specials for both fox news and fox business. our coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. and will go whenever. i speak for the staff, whenever it goes. four years ago we didn't know till about 2:30 in the morning but the winner of that race was rick santorum. that was then. could we have another late night

neil: wit a minute. is this the kind of stuff meteorologists put on any on? i bet we break the snow record? >> we can go to the videotape. i think national weather service did it to i can us upset, a .1 of a inch they missed it. neil: where do they measure it? >> i think central park zoo. neil: the animals could have rigged it. >> that's brilliant. neil: it is how i roll. i'm curious with snow total, i know you must get to your very important report, we must have done in day or weekened -- >> a season, absolutely right, neil cavuto. new york city, laguardia was single biggest snowfall total they have ever received. because we do it in two days, that is why we missed by that much. look at that. 42 inches in pennsylvania. pennsylvania 38 inches.

there we are, 26.8. the record was 2.9. i think they just did it to spite me. current snow depth, how much snow is on the ground right now, two feet. millions of people in the d.c. area, philadelphia, new york, took me several hours to get in this morning on long island railroad. don't get me started. d.c., temperatures hovering around the seasonal mark. we'll not have a huge melt here. it will hang around for the kids who love this kind of thing. your forecast highs for tuesday, in the 40s the most part. a little cooler on wednesday. but we're not dealing with extreme warmth or extreme cold air which is good news. cold but not frigid. the frigid air right up here in canada. that stays there. seasonal temperatures we'll not see a mass melt here. it will kind of stay, i know like most kids if i could interview them they're happy about our forecasting. neil: not really. i will say this though, that when we tried to reach you last

cleanup effort as you can see from this pile. i was speaking with member of the city administrators office, just in washington, d.c. alone, some 800 pieces equipment. that is just the government. not private businesses people within their own homes, et cetera, out on the streets right now. 5500 tons of salt from the government put down on the streets, main their row fare. this is north capitol, runs right into the capitol. a lot of major streets are doing fine. the side streets are the worry, when you get out into the suburbs. mayor here, muriel bowser is the mayor and she said at a news conference she warned there is a long way to go. >> we knew we would have 24 inches of snow in the district and cold temperatures throughout the week. several days of cleanup, we know we're dealing with snow all of this week. reporter: part of the story is here on the ground and up in the

neil: we told you the biggest winner mcdonald's before, now the biggest loser on the dow is caterpillar. the industrial equipment manufacturer taking a hit when goldman sachs outlined a pretty pessimistic outlook for the company, cite ad slowdown where you don't needed much demand for industrial equipment, the life and blood of caterpillar. people taking out and hitting the stock hard. as a result it is among the factors weighing on the dow, mcdonald's success notwithstanding. to foreign policy and secretary of state john kerry speaking china's help dealing with the north koreans and this nuclear threat. republican congressman from the fine state of new york leigh selden, we're talking to the wrong guys about the wrong guy. presumably not even the chinese, congressman, can rein this nutcase n maybe they're right, look, we tried to talk him off the ledge to no avail. do you believe that?

>> the chinese definitely have weighed in publicly and privately in opposition to north korea's missile tests. there is no doubt about that. but it's also very obvious that more needs to get done. we're not doing. we're not doing enough, whether ramping up sanctions, increasing military cooperation with allies, putting more intelligence on the ground. the sanction effort with the economy in north korea, i mean that's an important piece. the military is an important piece as well. cybersecurity, there is a way to go on offense against north koreans in a way we have seen them knock us off our heels here so the cybersecurity piece is a piece as with he will. neil: to your point, congressman, but they have been able to rattle our cage in the face of sanctions that would make some of the iranians blush and still do it.

who is to say just, reinforcing sanctions or getting tougher with sanctions will do the job? maybe this is really a rogue nation run by a rogue imbecile what do you think? >> i think this is a rogue nation run by a rogue i am -- imbecile. sanctions are one pies of this. japanese have much more aggressive approach with north korea than the rest of us do. so there are more options on the sanctions front. there is also more options if china was to ramp up its effort. the fact despite the chinese weighing in against missile tests in north korea they still have a alliance that is counterproductive. neil: what do you think if the north koreans are ignoring this? in other words, this one time china may be telling the truth that they can not control north korea, they just can't, that is even scarier, isn't it? >> i believe it. while we have to look at all the different options that are on

the table, the reality is, as you pointed out this is rogue nation with, this is a whack job in charge. he is a loose cannon. he is imbalanced. so that reality, no matter whether we're looking at five options or 15, the reality is that this guy is, he is imbalanced and he is someone who is a great concern of having a nuclear weapon in his own hands. neil: thank you very much. i share your concerns because there are some inconsistencies there. lee cell den, fine state of new york. >> thank you, sir. neil: apple may be losing the top spot as the most valuable company on the planet. that isn't a big surprise. who usurps apple might be after this. ♪ every insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company

neil: all right, whether you call it google, or alphabet, it is on the verge of eclipsing apple as the richest market cap company around. jo ling kent how close that is to happening. jo ling? >> yeah, google, alphabet inching ever closer to taking over apple. here's why. look at apple chart. down about .68% on fears how earnings will look tomorrow. you can see down almost .7% right now.

there is expectations from wall street we'll hit 76.5 million phones but concern that apple may not actually hit that and actually decline for the first time year-over-year. expecting revenue and eps of $3.23 and earnings of $6.71 billion. look at the headlines we've gathered over the past year or some apple expected to surpass one trillion dollars valuation this year. a lot of discussion, excitement about them becoming the most valuable company. if you look currently where alphabet and google stands right now, you see alphabet-google, 517 billion, creeping up towards panel's market cap of a $60 billion. there is concern how apple will perform. -- $560. some analysts say expectations are just too darn high right now. tim cook also said it will be relatively flat, he does expect, the ceo, to sell more phones

over this past holiday season of the magic number, neil? 76.5 million iphones in the holiday quarter. the real question here, are the fears overblown on wall street. what does this mean? you might remember back in 2011 apple surpassed exxon as the most valuable company in the world. looks like google may be getting extra foot on them, maybe going into tomorrow after the bell. neil: so weird we talk about this, selling 76 million of something would be a deemed a disappointment. >> exactly, right. neil: amazing. jo ling, thank you very, very much. apple news coming out tomorrow. charles payne remembering sort after market rule. those who rule don't necessarily rule forever. keep that in mind as you invest. good to see you, buddy. >> that's right. behind creative destruction, the idea governments have to make things right, not in the free market. ultimately the market makes is right. apple is having a hard time

because hardware companies have a hard time staying ahead of the curve. lot harder to piece their monopoly than someone coming up with a better iphone to eclipse them. on paper, apple should trade three times more than google. neil: look at alphabet, there was a day prodigy was a search enin, aol. >> no doubt about it. couple years ago, exact opposite, apple was skyrocketing, google was plummeting. apple investors have the last laugh but they're sitting on bunch of cash. they have to deploy it wisely. people are wanting to see something. we're bracing for a subpar iphone season. i saw more red shirts than customers. neil: is that right? >> i have to go short this thing. it was keep of scary. a lot of pressure on them if they step up to the plate, no doubt about it.
