you at the negotiating table. [laughter] stuart: don't you love it? see you in davos, mr. president, now shutdown is over, friday's speech of global elites is back on. the climate crowd, the open borders people, the income inequality whiners, all will be there. the prosperity train has left without you. varney & company is about to begin. [laughter] ♪ ♪ stuart: this news broke earlier this morning, 7.9 magnitude quake off alaska. ash, there was a tsunami warning. ashley: there was, this happened after midnight in the gulf of alaska. originally reported 8.2. 7.9 is huge, there was a tsunami warning, warning went out to people's cell phones up and down

the coast of alaska, emergency alert, tsunami daughter on the coast, go to high ground or move to inland. stuart: has been withdrawn. ashley: canceled. all the way down to coast of u.s. and even san francisco, they put out a tsunami watch, but thankfully no big waves created. stuart: thankfully, indeed. thanks, ash, moving onto future's market, indicater of where we are going, fractional losses, shutdown ended and late rally took stocks to another record. dow closed at 26,214. that's the new high. apple, interesting news on these speaker things, apple's home pod speaker, available for preorder friday of this week, arrives in stores february the ninth, the cost 349 bucks. more than the price of the amazon echo and the google home speaker combined. so apple going for the high-priced home whatever it's

called. home assistant. blow-out numbers from netflix, 8.3 million streaming users, the most it's ever gained in single quarter and looks to do even better, premarket quote of nearly up 11%, 24 bucks, how about that? four dow companies reported profits, johnson & johnson going up, proctor and gamble going down and travelers up and verizon up. peter, economic professor of university of maryland, you saw the profit numbers from the dow stocks, how does it look, they look pretty good to me? >> i've said all along, the rally is being driven by profits. it's good that donald trump is president and better than having hillary clinton. i would be president if we had a rally. we need to be somewhat cautious that we could get an adjustment because we are so dependent on

the technologies an limits how fast they can grow and the old reliables like proctor & gamble don't have platforms anymore. like ge, they are becoming irrelevant. you wonder where would people rotate to when the market takes a lull. another thing that boarts me, no one is he he -- that's always an to say some caution, i still believe we are headed for dow 30,000 by the end of presidency. don't expect it to be straight trajectory. stuart: got it. looks like a booming global economy. the world stock market, the stock market is booming too. >> i call it a jump on the band wagon scenario. the fools at imf, irresponsible

for republicans to be running out and cutting taxes when aka we are really democrats. gee, it was a good thick and will give the global economy a lift. note that they are saying that the u.s. economy was slow and global growth will be threatened just in time for the 2020 election, how remarkable, you know, it's amazing. it's amazing, the level of political bias in economics these days is only exceeded by hypocrisy of the president of princeton university saying that that place is welcoming of conservatives. you know -- stuart: i want them to invite me. >> i will be coronated king of ethiopia. stuart: what are chances of deal that reforms immigration system, a big deal, what's the chances? jason chaffetz joins us now.

you build the wall, end chain migration, lend lottery, in return you allow dreamers to stay, surely moderates on both sides could support that -- that basic immigration deal, couldn't they? >> i would think so, the democrats including schumer, pelosi and others have supported those previous positions, you hear president clinton when he was the president making arguments very similar to that. if you're going to take care of the dreamers which i think we should, then you've also got to take care of the nightmare that is down on the border and that seems like a fair and balance way. i think the key, though, is going to be are we or are we going to grant amnesty, i think there could be legal protections for dream toaster stay here but i don't think you are going to see actual amnesty where people are automatically given citizenship. i don't think that's going to happen. stuart: but the left will object to this, the left within the democratic party, they will object to this and so will the right of the freedom caucus, perhaps, within the republican

party, but absent those two, you know, extremes if i can call them that, you have a big chunk of politicians right there in the middle who could wheel and deal on the daca people and get some kind of status for them which is acceptable, i sense a deal is not out of the question. >> well, president trump deserves a lot of credit because we are having the discussion. i sat in the house of representatives under barack obama, they never had a bill, i sat on immigration subcommittee for two years when dem cras house and senate and presidency and they didn't have bill. trump will ultimately take care of it and his voice is the biggest one in the room. stuart: i'm really surprised about this. very interesting. jason, thank you so much for joining us. as always, we will see you again soon. peter, thank you again, please, the government reopened and as

you know, peter, the president is heading to davos, home of global warming, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, look, i hope our president sticks it to them, how about you? >> well, i think you should remind him of how well the u.s. economy is doing compared to france and that, you know, conservative economics does have currency today but also, you know, this is all being described as america advocating leadership. america is saying the old model of multilateralism is not working anymore. a security system that expects americans to bankroll everything and in any state that is being imposed on the united states simply because the europeans have been so stupid and foolish as to impose one on themselves is not a model for growth in america, it's not a model for our children and finally, open immigration, i mean, a merkel-type approach to immigration simply doesn't

prescribe well either. i'm very anxious to see what he says about immigration in particular there because i think it's kind of going to give us a window as to what will be possible in terms of a deal you are talking about after all democrats are not going to give up easy access to a new generation of voters who are dependent on the entitlement state and remember all half immigrants in the united states, half of all legal aliens are on means-tested programs than any state voters for nancy pelosi, that simply has to be stopped and that's what scares nancy the most. stuart: that's a pretty good outcue there, peter. peter, he's all right. thank you, peter. checking futures again, where are we? fractional loss, that's -- all-time record highs yesterday, fractional loss at the opening bell this morning. we have a new twist, yeah it is, new twist on incoming ballistic

missile false alarm in hawaii. the governor, he we wanted to tell everyone that it was a false alarm but he couldn't do it, why, he forgot the twitter password. ashley: we've all done it. >> newly uncovered text messages referencing a secret society within the fbi, what do you make of that, we will ask judge napolitano. first sad news to report, neil diamond announcing he has been diagnosed with parkinson's. he will retire from the business and turns 77 tomorrow. ♪ well, it's earnings season

do you make of it? >> a two-person wrecking team to the reputation of the fbi and it's unfortunate if they can't check their very strong political opinions at the door and use political opinions to drive what they're doing in official work. now -- stuart: hold on a second, the revelation, they are talking about a secret society within the fbi these two. now our plan -- >> i don't know what the our plan is, but if you combine our plan with secret society, you actually have in writing the revelation of what many of us have been ranting and raving about, characterize my own behavior as ranting and raving for years and that's the deep state, that's the part of the government unauthorized by the constitution which never changes no matter which party is in power that exercises extraordinary power and influences the way the government goes for its own

sake. stuart: this appears to have interfered with the results of our election -- >> attempted to interfere with the results of the election. of course, by attempting to dislodge the validly elected president of the united states from the white house. stuart: what's the legal word for that, treason? >> no. treason is defined in the constitution. a conspiracy to disrupt the election laws but, look, the -- the reference -- there's no collusion, it was made two days after bob mueller was appointed. mueller not even started the investigation. it is odd that he says, i don't want any part of it and then he becomes a major part of it and then the texts become public and he gets fired and moved into an hr position. stuart: wait a minute, 50,000 emails between these two, texts, i'm sorry, averaging 68 per day and all of these texts were

taken in a time frame that included the dossier, it surfaced, flynn was interviewed and comey was fired, mueller appointed and you have 50,000 emails between these two. >> the texts are all on mobile devices issued by the government. the government own it is hardware, the government owns the software, the government owns the texts, where are the texts? almost full circle to mrs. clinton to yet another example of the sudden disappearance of profound evidence in the hands of the government just disappearing. stuart: that is a plot, that is a conspiracy to undermine america's electoral system. >> it's an amendment. it obviously didn't succeed. donald trump is elected and donald trump is still the president of the united states, but think about it, the president of the united states

is the chief law enforcement officer of the land and one of the weapons to enforce the law is an fbi and there's a -- they want to dislodge him from his position as president of the united states, that's essentially what we are talking about this morning. stuart: yes. it's not russia, russia, russia, mule internal revenue -- mueller and trump, it's about this -- >> page is not an agent and lawyer and they have relationship to each other whereby they text 68 times a day. i've never heard such a thing but whatever and it's coming out in such a way as to impair the reputation of the fbi. there's so much more -- stuart: you're putting it so mildly, judge, it's a plot, a conspiracy to undermine our electoral system and the government of the united states. >> two people out of 8,000. stuart: i don't care how many it

better, the markets go higher and that's how i see it. stuart: scott shellady, coming, please. what do you say? >> what the other bankers are doing around the world, and there's more cash now because of the corporate income tax cut from 45-21. more cash on because the new things the president has done to create investor sentiment off the charts. those types of things, that is why you have a market to set a record every time it goes higher. the stock market is kind of like every pickup is a record. train to what is with the glasses? >> i used out with her glasses like this. a lot of folks like them and i brought them back out of retirement. train to you look like a movie star. you really do. blowout numbers from netflix. telling you about this earlier. the stock is gone straight up.

every time these conversations, probably netflix is always in the mix. eventually it will happen, but they are drowning in debt thomas winning billions on content every year. the subscriber number was impressive. >> go back to the screen you had on a moment ago. amazon up again. extraordinary performance. look at them go. streaming, i'll take that. netflix 24 bucks at amazon up $17. apple of 31 cents. alphabet another $5. i find that extraordinary. just watch them go. the international monetary fund says prost backs for the global economy writer. more numbers on the spirit >> was talked about how broad-based this is around the world. 120 economies which counts for three quarters of global economic activity are growing in developed and emerging economies are the strongest right now is seen in europe and asia and of

because the time to think about tomorrow is today. train to kellyanne conway, counter to the president is with us. i do want to repeat the u.n. found the street from the present short time ago. no one knows for sure republican the democrats will build a reach a deal on daca by february the eighth that ever will be trying with additional focus on military strength and border security. the dems have just learned that a shutdown is not the answer. i think there may be a deal here. you get the deal on immigration. build the wall, and chain migration and accept some from

dr. people. that sounds like a possibility, doesn't it? it's a real possibility when the president held for one solid hour live on television. they rely on chip for the health care. they could've kept the government out but instead of shutting it down and start to negotiate immigration reform. the democrats are immigration they hear one thing, daca. the president hears the race for things and in fact, his plan has 70 points on it. the four principles you just laid out with ice age and then catch and release. he deals with the miners over the border. so many different things the president is looking not in total. trade to the key seems to me those senate democrats have her reelection in november of this

year who come from dates that president trump one and november 2016. they look very likely to jump ship and vote with a compromise immigration deal. they're the key to it, aren't they? >> they are key their leadership leadership or any other liberals trying to drive the entire democratic party left of center. it is regrettable that we have so few who are going to shut down the government but not willing to reopen it. it's no coincidence that many of them are looking. they said no to the tax cut bonuses and job creation and repatriation of wealth from abroad and now they shut down. but these moderate democrats i look at them that moderate in most dates, but they are looking at their electoral prospects are

concerned about their party. they say no, and they weren't willing to take it to chuck schumer and the liberals. train to have been quite outspoken on davos, i want president trump to go over there on friday and stick it to them. forgive the abrupt language, but are you with me on this? is he going to put it to them? >> president trump is very willing and eager to go into different countries in different situations we have many different countries are presenting. he certainly talked to are hosted or visited 150 world

leaders since he was elected president. davos is no different could expect him to go there and show them what america looks like on the world stage beauty certainly willing to engage on trade and participate in the global economy. however, he has made very clear they will always benefit americans can american workers to american interests and american allies also. he is also going to put the pressure on isis and our partners around the world to get tough on north korea and nuclear-capable countries like north korea and iran. he's open to trade deals. these open to participating economy but his america first. i saw your interview earlier with maria and you are both highly spirit in exchange and learn a great deal. this is president trump whether he's showing what leadership looks like this weekend and align the legislature to do what they needed to do and get a deal and then he signed into law last

night or he goes and lanes all the way into davos could expect who he is every time is gone abroad which is five or six times in his presidency. stuart: i am dying to see what he says. i really am. thank you for being with us. i was a pleasure. we'll see you again same. there will be more "varney" after this.

liz: beth warren, senator bernie sanders, senator kirsten gillibrand, all are thinking about running for the democrat nomination in 2020. they want to be the president of the united states. all of them voted to keep the government shut down. they put the interests of illegals ahead of the interests of the country. so there's the divide. the senate democrats who want to be president are all on the left. all in favor of supporting illegals. they are basically open borders people. i don't think that is a winning election strategy. and, it opens the door to a trump lead, a trump deal on immigration. build the wall, end chain migration, end the lottery system, but let the "dreamers" stay or at least some of them. that is the trump deal. it's a deal moderate democrats, especially those up for re-election this year could support. how about that? a bipartisan deal on immigration. yes it is possible. all because senator schumer gambled and lost. and the left couldn't give up

its open borders dream. the second hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ stuart: all right, we have 31 minutes into the trading session on a tuesday morning and we're down a mere 36 points on the dow but look at the level, 26,179. how about the big technology companies, where are they? all of them to the upside, facebook, amazon, microsoft alphabet, apple all to the upside. microsoft hitting yet another all-time high along with jpmorgan, home depot, visa, travelers, all of them, all-time highs. will you just look at them go. jpmorgan has come back a fraction, earlier at a high. look at netflix. have you seen this? $249 a share, up nearly $22. that is a gain of roughly 10%.

totally split. >> look, there are 44 democrat senators in the senate. 16 of them voted to keep the government closed. that is a third of their party in the senate. that is a problem for them. when you look at the people who are standing up for illegal immigrants over the interests of the americans, it is people who want to run for president in 2020. now the question is, can they win a national election? they're all from states like california, new york, vermont. is that really going to play? they have a big problem on their hands because president trump was able to flip 100 counties from blue to red. meaning from obama to trump. they have to find a way to get back to that, and this is not the way to go, that's for sure. stuart: those moderates, the democrat moderates in the senate, they hold the key to whether we get an immigration deal. they are likely to vote in favor of a deal. i would have thought, you build the wall, keep saying this, endlessly, build the wall, get

daca people to stay. that is president trump's deal. that is what he wants. i think he will get the votes in the senate. >> he may but i also think these far left members like elizabeth warren, like cory booker, from new jersey, they have have a lot of influence whether something passes or not, and i think they will actually move the goalposts what kind of deal gets struck here. not just talking about daca. people are talking about children who were brought here by their parents. they will want to allow amnesty for the parents of those people and maybe some of their family members as well. stuart: would you as conservative, i believe you're a conservative -- >> i am a conservative yes. stuart: would you object a really big deal, the wall, the lottery is gone, chain migration is gone, maybe 3 1/2 million illegals can stay, would you do that? >> i have to see what the final parameters are but bottom line for conservatives and majority of americans, watch amnesty roll and roll, border security has to come first. we have seen before that hasn't happened.

until that is done i can't give you that promise. ashley: you would do that deal, wouldn't you. stuart: yes, sir, i would. >> we have a deal. stuart: look, if you can radically change our immigration policy and posture -- ashley: visa chain. stuart: they stay. i will do that. >> why not 11 million then? why just 3 1/2 million? stuart: i can't give you a number. >> there you go. stuart: it would be nice to settle this thing. >> it would be nice but people talking about daca in simple terms. what we get down to the agreement that chuck schumer was talking about yesterday with mitch mcconnell, details will get a whole lot more gray than they are right now. stuart: okay. one more thing for you, katy. i'm outspoken. i want our president to go to davos and stick it to him. >> i think you get what you want. i think he will go there and act like himself, punch them in the nose a little bit just like he has done before. we have seen him have influence when it comes to nato and going to nato headquarters for

example, pointing out the big fancy building they had was probably paid for by the united states. little things like will be part of that. stuart: should go to davos, we know how to restore prosperity and you don't. take notes and listen. we'll bail them out all over again. >> let's not bail them out all over again. lie in the beds they made for themselves with the european socialism. stuart: i'm with you, okay. katy, you're all right. thanks for joining us. >> good to see you, thanks. stuart: the treasury says the new tax cuts will lead to higher take-home pay for 90% of wage earners. that gain starts in february. that is couple weeks away. steve lon began is with us, new jersey congressional candidate, guy from new jersey. how are you? >> good to be here, stuart. stuart: you have got numbers, a large number of middle class people in the state of new jersey get immediate benefit. >> remarkably enough, stuart, states like california, new york, new jersey, wealthier states will benefit more 15%

above the national average for take-home pay for middle class working americans. stuart: why? >> because you have a higher net income. you have higher average wages. of course the states, higher return on your paychecks but also have a lot of wealthy people in new jersey who will see much bigger returns on 401(k)s, investments, on business investments. a state like new jersey will benefit better than most states in the country. my liberal opponent was on dana perino on fox news. he got on tv, that people in new jersey will not be able to deduct property taxes any longer. that is not true. stuart: you can deduct 10,000. >> he said nothing. the state income tax caps property tax deduction anyway. a bunch of bipartisan senators said we can solve the problem by raising the state's property tax deduction above the 10,000 level new jersey already has. that would solve the problem. stuart: wait, wait. wait a minute. that is in the weeds. you know as well as i do, the 1%

people, the people who live in new jersey, make a significant amount of money, they're going to get killed. they are. >> they're not getting killed. stuart what you are seeing right now -- stuart: killed, killed. >> what you're seeing right now this massive growth in gdp will benefit everyone. stuart: no, wait a minute. steve, come on. if you're in the 1%, you're a high income earner, you live in new jersey, you no longer are able to deduct new jersey income tax. you can't deduct it. you just lost one of the biggest deductions you ever had. you will end up paying a whole lot more than you used to pay. >> the state of new jersey does not allow as one of only two states in the whole country does not allow deduction of your federal income tax on your tate income tax return. new jersey can fix that now. stuart: i'm not talking about the state income tax return. i'm talking about your federal income tax return. you live in 1%, you live in new jersey, you're killed.

>> you are not killed. stuart: yes you are. >> i was at a restaurant in the bergen mall -- stuart: steve come on -- >> stuart you're seeing real economic growth. stuart: i'm not denying that, but if you can not deduct your state taxes against your federal income tax return, you get killed. >> and you can't deduct your federal income taxes against your state incomes taxes. stuart: i don't care. i don't care. talking about your federal tax return. >> we have the most far left liberal government in the entire united states of america. our new governor phil murphy will make jerry brown look like ronald reagan. new jersey's problems are new jersey's problems, one of the most mismanaged states. stuart: all true. >> we're in the worst state in the nation for business growth. stuart: all true yes. >> worst tax structure in the entire country. new jersey needs to fix their problems at home. trump tax cuts will grow the new jersey economy, allow phil murphy to fund his failed economic programs. new jersey problems ares

homegrown failures. most progressive sales tack. highest corporate income tax. we turned new jersey greatest economic power 40 years ago into the worst state in the country. stuart: just talk to my accountant. i will give him your number. >> i will. what women you do with the extra money you will make in your paycheck. stuart: stop it, steve. stop it, steve. i will lose a fortune. >> you're not losing a fortune. i will be back, come talk about october. stuart: no we won't. >> this is great. stuart: i'm done. i'm out of time. i'm very sorry, i'm out of time. got it. check this out, ralph lauren unveiling the united states olympic uniforms. the outfits are quipped with heating technology. athletes can set temperature with cell phones. the heat lasts up to the five hours on the high setting and 11 hours on the low. they're made here in the united states. next, netflix, hitting an all-time high, top performing

you were fired because you wrote a memo criticizing the company because it excluded conservatives, and isolated conservatives. that is the bottom line here, right? >> yeah. and also criticized some of their illegal practice. so common sentiment while it was circulating was that, finally the discussion was being had but once they fired me, that just silenced everything. so in that case maybe they don't regret firing me because it silenced any progress within attacking their policies. stuart: well, look, you're involved in a major lawsuit. i take it that it is not easy for you to find work at this point, is that correct? >> it is definitely been difficult. stuart: tell me about the lawsuit. it's a class-action lawsuit. how many people are involved in it? >> we have several named and unnamed plaintiffs at this point. after we announced it, we had

many more that want to join it. it is still being updated as we speak. stuart: i want to ask you a question which i think you're in a position to answer past judgment on, rupert murdoch, wants facebook to pay publishers for news content. i will quote exactly, james what mr. murdoch said, if facebook wants to recognize trusted publishers, it should pay the publishers a carriage fee similar to the model adopted by the cable companies. they are enhancing the value and integrity of facebook through their news an content but are not being adequately rewarded for those services. in other words, if you take mine commentary, you pay me. mr. murdoch think that gets rid of fake news. what is your reaction to that? >> google and facebook definitely have a lot of power in this space and any concentration of power is really dangerous, especially when they have been shown to have bias, especially for example, google recently had a fact checker

feature on google but it only attacked conservative sites. and so, there is definitely a lot of conflict and it is really unclear what the best solution is. stuart: tell me about the lawsuit again. when is it going to be heard in court? i mean when is an end coming to this thing? >> hopefully soon but, they will definitely try to silence it. stuart: okay. james, thank you for joining us, sir. keep us in touch with any progress you make on the lawsuit. james damore, everyone. >> thanks. the sec issuing a warning on blockchain. ashley: really great. add the term blockchain on to your title suddenly your stock goes up. the sec is aware of this. they're very leery of this. they will look at companies that change hair names and business models to jump on this.

if amvets which is a great organization for veterans obviously, americans the name, they want to put out money to buy a legitimate ad, nfl should say, listen i support free market, i will let them play, we would love to have veterans here. we understand the american people have spoken out against many players kneeling with their fists up in the air or taking a seat, not coming out of the locker room, they're making a mistake here. stuart: i agree. they should reconsider an allow free speech in our society. i understand that the, i think afc championship game, the patriots, jaguars, it drew 48 million viewers. that seems like a very high number for me. is this aing isnal nfl ratings may come back? >> no they have been hurting down, we're talking about juggernaut, they have been down five, 10, 15%. i had the numbers with me last week for our hit. this week they did have great news. they had a great game and a great story. you have a great team, maybe the

best i ever seen in any sport during my lifetime and that is the patriots, playing against the up start jaguars. the jaguars had a lead. word spread throughout the country. the audience really grew, fourth quarter, guess what happens, the patriots come back. guess what you have? great culmination to a show which ace game. you have basically the highest rating of any football game since the super bowl. shows the audience is there for great football. shows they're reluctant to come back because of it. i still walk around, stuart, say i am not watching the nfl here because the kneeling and -- stuart: i do too. repeat that, the patriots are the best team in any sport in your lifetime, across the board? so why does everybody hate them? >> that's part of it. number one they have the best-looking quarterback who has the best-looking wife, who has the best-looking family who wins every big game. people have natural resentment,

they only tell their therapist the real reason. number two they were caught in questionable situations with "deflategate" and taping walk of this thrust against the rams, who still hold they were robbed of the super bowl because the patriots seemed to know their plays. they have one of the finest owners football, one of the greatest people in football. started out as a fan, ended up multimillionaire, bought the team. in salary cap era, a league built for parity, you're seeing something the 49ers were great, they outspent people. they kept two great quarterbacks in era you have only some players and so much money they still win, they win with players that could have been on anybody else's roster. they pick them off the scrap heap like amendola. he was on the practice squad of the cowboys. he is unstoppable in the fourth. they lose their best weapons in gronkowski and julian edelman before the season got going, they still find a way to come back from 10 points in the

fourth quarter when they looked anemic for three. i have never seen anything like it. stuart: i have seen the great soccer team real madrid played in 1960. they won 7-3 for the european championship. >> in fact i have video. let's go to that now. actually they're on kinne scope. and black and white. we're having problems with the tape deck. i can not roll that in. i'm a stocker guy too. there is no salary cap for real madrid. they can buy whoever they want. that makes this more impressive. stuart: you're good, brian. you're good. >> turn it over to the panel, to see if i have any backing? stuart: you have no backing whatsoever. ashley: that was very good. stuart: kilmeade, you're done. we're through. thanks for joining us. >> see you in the hall. stuart: kid rock, singer, donating what, about $120,000 to a voter registration organization affiliated with college republicans. the money was raised when he sold merchandise promoting kid rock for u.s. senate.

♪ ashley: the government shutdown is over, well for now, and it is time now to negotiate on immigration. kellyanne conway says democrats need to understand there is more to that discussion than just daca. roll tape. >> the democrats decided to waste three days and a lot of worry for our brave people in the military, our children who rely upon chip for their health care, they wasted three days when ironically could have kept the government open instead of shutting it down and started to negotiate immigration reform. when the democrats hear immigration, they hear one thing, daca, they hear "dreamers." the president hears at least four things. in fact his plan he released two months ago or so, stuart, has 70 points on it. merit-based immigration, four principles you laid out, 10,000 additional i.c.e. agents. end catch-and-release. unaccompanied minors coming over

the company said he would be stepping down to take a chief executive role at another firm. the stock dropped below 24. 23, ashley. all-time highs for amazon, netflix, alphabet, microsoft, repeating one more time. amazon, netflix, microsoft, all-time record highs again today. netflix added 8.3 million streaming users despite raising prices. original shows and movies like "stranger things" and "bright" helped the streaming service. gene munster is with us, loop ventures manning director. now that netflix is worth more than $100 billion that somebody would buy them outright? >> stuart before we get get into that, and take a quickstep back on the significance what is going on with netflix. as you mentioned they raised prices in october by 15%. they beat the street estimate

for sub ads by 3030%. this is big. content is king. you're in good shape, stuart because content is important but yes, this company here at 110 bill done lar market cap, for someone to step in and buy it i think it is unlikely. i will put a small wager here it is not going to be apple. people kind of kicked that around but i think at $108 billion, netflix will be acquirer. stuart: it really ace success story as opposed to a potential take over story, because as you suggest, they did so well. they still got a lot of folks you could sign up. worldwide they have a big market to go at. they're saying the king of streaming, they will stay the king of streaming and they will advance on their own? >> yeah, this is probably maybe the next hbo or bigger than the

next hbo. as you mentioned 110 million subs. analysts more broadly think it will get to 170 million by 2020. the u.s. penetration of netflix in home is 52% of the households have it. there is a lot of password sharing goes on, but actual usage is probably closer to 65% but globally we're talking sub 5%. that is the real kicker to the story here. that is the escape velocity creating more content localized for other countries. stuart: that is incredible, isn't it, 252 bucks on netflix. >>? this one i'm told you, disappointing iphone x sales led apple to possibly slow down production of those iphone xes. is that accurate? >> the first thought came into my head is fake news hits the tech space. i think iphone x is doing exceptionally well.

apple tends to press into, when things are going well, you probably saw a lost advertising around iphone x, around the last championship nfl weekend there. the bottom line iphone x sales are fine. i think we'll hear a lot more on february 1st when they report their quarter but we think that iphone x, here is the takeaway. this is a much more expensive phone than a typical iphone and i think this will be the catalyst for them, having higher asps than the street expecting for fiscal 18. my money is clearly on the iphone x will do well. stuart: gene, we love having you on the show because you sort of nail down some of the stuff that's out there. you are telling us netflix is not a takeover target. they're going it alone. telling us the iphone x is fine phone, thank you very much. you slade a couple dragons right there. gene munster will you soon. >> thank you, sir.

sinamed which is commonly used. stuart: i think of parkinson's disease the primary symptom is shaking s the that the primary way you figure out i've got it? >> that one thing. the other thing is falling. the as you mentioned with your brother. the shuffling gate. i think neil diamond it probably affected muscles in his throat. it can affect speech and singing as well. he is an icon. "sweet caroline." getting award for lifetime performance at grammy this is weekend. stuart: extraordinary thing it is so prevalent, it is the most common movement disorder in the world bar none? >> yes. i want you to understand, when i say neurodegenerative, i mean the cells of the brain, neurons of the brain are deteriorating. it is, can cause depression and it is very difficult to take care of. stuart: dr. siegel, i'm out of time. >> need research money. neil: very, very important subject. appreciate it, doctor.

good to see you, sir. there will be more "varney" after this.

>> seems to me the presen the president is on a roll. if you've watched this for the past year you would have seen countless rules and regulations on the trump chopping block. you saw the withdrawal from the climate accord. you watched the stock market run-up $8.3 trillion in the massive tax cuts and the trail of bonuses and wage hikes that followed. and the economy is booming. let's not forget senator schumer's utter defeat in the shutdown fiasco that mr. trump is not personally popular, not yet but his policies are clearly working. that's my opinion. job one for america is a return to prosperity and that is happening.

the president will take the prosperity message to the heart of darkness, europe. the annual elitist get-together in the swiss alps. i'll make no secret of my hostility. it's entitled creating a shared future in a fractured world. that has such a nice feel to it, doesn't it? not. i want him to go in there like a wrecking ball and tell him open borders have been disastrous. extremism has hurt the middle class. socialism has given the europeans an unsustainable welfare system and they can't innovate their way out of a paper bag. tell them mr. president, put down the chablis, park the private jet and listen. we know how to grow and prosper and you don't. the third hour of "varney and company" is about to begin. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm getting all riled up.

important. the tax cut is terribly important and as people asked me, how far can the stock market go, i tell him it's a bull market and it will continue until it stops. my friends, we've all tried to call a top and it just continues to blow up in your face. will walk in one day in the be some geopolitical event and the dow will open 400 lower, it won't trade higher and that will be the end. until that happens the trend is from the lower left to the upper right and it's still a bull market. >> is this the trump rally? i said at the top of the hour, he's on a roll and helping america return to prosperity. do you agree? trump is largely doing this. >> actually, i think it is a global rally because global stocks everywhere are up. european shares are up, japanese shares, chinese shares, russian shares, i would say this would be attributed to global growth rather than attributing it to

the president. if i were the president i would not take credit for what's going on because when the inevitable bear market hits, will he take credit for that. i'll just simply say this is a global plow horse economy that continues to move from the left to the upper right. it will continue. i tend not to give great amounts of credit to the president but he's done a better job than many have anticipated. >> i think we can say that with certainty. >> you ever mess around with that coin, it's down today around 10000. everybody asked me, and i'm sure they ask you, should i buy bit coin. should i get involved in block chain. what's your answer. >> you should be involved in block chain, you should avoid that coin. they are considered to be synchronous, one with the other, but they are divergent. they're completely different. block chain will change the matter in which we trade export units and how we trade stocks and foreign exchange. the block chain is

extraordinarily intelligent, high-tech movement but the bit coin nonsense. it is truly the tool and please avoid it. this will end in tears, these things always do. this one will too. let me sum up where was gone. there's a bull market rally in it ends when it ends. you don't give a great deal of credit to present trump, it's the global boom and you wouldn't touch bit coin with a 10-foot pole. the one last one. big tech is on the huge tear for a couple years and these companies are very highly priced. would you buy any of them at these prices? >> honestly, no. i'm an old guard trader, an old guard investor, i went on the things that i drop them on my foot will hurt. i would much rather own u.s.

steel for the simple things that are incumbent in domestic and international. >> have you missed all the. >> wait a minute. >> you did. >> not a question, i've missed the high-tech revolution. not a question. if you take a look at what steel prices have done, u.s. steel is up 35% since the start of the year or since late in december. that feels close to what's going on in high tech. it takes a younger man to understand high-tech. wait. i'm at least as old as you are, probably older and on the left-hand side of the screen we have microsoft up 52% since the election. if i would have listened to you, i would be for as a church mouse right now. >> no you wouldn't you would be in fine shape. you may not be up 51% but you might be up 25 or 30% and that's not so bad. did i miss microsoft and

facebook, yes. i won't understand facebook. to understand copper, lumber, steel, transports, those types of things, they make sense to me. i understand them. if i've learned anything, do the things you understand and avoid the things you don't. if other people do well, god bless them. >> you watch this program? >> if they do. >> every day? >> it wouldn't say every day, probably two or three times a week. we'll take that. at that one last one for you. the trump administration is putting new tariffs on imports, washing machines and solar panels. sounds like you might be the opening gamma in a trade war. >> i agree. i think of the terrible idea. yes the president will make headline saving 700 jobs in

iowa where whirlpool has headquarters but will charge more for appliances to the broad american public, this is the first blow across the bow of a trade war. i wish this had not occurred. i am absolutely, utterly and completely opposed. >> you are very clear on that. the bull market and when anne's. trump doesn't get the credit, bit coin don't touch with a 10-foot pole, don't go anywhere near the big tech stocks which have made a fortune for various people, and it's a trade war. dennis, for your first ever appearance, you haven't done real real well.

our newest southern inspired flavor, smokey mountain barbecued. >> okay, hold on. crispy fried chicken, biscuit, two biscuits, one biscuit, mashed potatoes and gravy, how much. >> 499. starting monday. >> that is a deal. this is our bucket. this is a very famous kfc bucke bucket. >> what's in it. >> right now, nothing but you can get a fill up. >> you came on this program, i give you a commercial and you have an empty bucket. >> we will have one brought over to you as quickly as possible she can have it for lunch. >> i take this seriously, thank you very much for joining us. when the show was over i will take it taste. >> very good. you have to let me know what you think.

we've blended the flavors from across the barbecue belt into an undeniably delicious flavor and unlike most barbecue, it's crispy. it really delivers. >> you got it all in. that was a three-minute commercial for free. that was extraordinary. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> let's get serious as of smokey mountain chicken isn't serious. earlier this hour we talked about a new california proposal that would automatically register illegal immigrants to vote. here's what candidate for california secretary of state had to say about that. roll tape. >> the social engineering that's going on, this globalist movement that you see going on, why do you think they want a century state so they can relieve all the

legals and go vote for them and keep them in power so special interest can find ways to tax their citizens more and enable politicians to continue staying in power. >> let me straighten this out for a second. you are in california, you're an illegal immigrant, you get a drivers license, the proposal is if you get a drivers license now you can vote. that is unconstitutional. >> the proposal is if you get a drivers license you are automatically registered to vote. unfortunately, it is not unconstitutional. it would be unconstitutional if, and this is difficult to police, it's going to aggravate you even more, it would be on constitutional to vote in a federal election but it is not unconstitutional to vote in a state or local election. so what happens when they're held at the same time in the same booth where you would vote for mayor of san francisco and a local official but also for president of the united states. they are creating a monstrosity that will be impossible to survey a,

impossible to enforce and will result in rampant voter fraud. >> what are we going to do about it. >> i don't know but the congress would have to change the law right now, federal law is that you must be a citizen to vote in a federal election. member of the house, member of the senate and vice president but you do not have to be an american citizen to vote for governor of new jersey or governor of california. >> i didn't know that. for a long time i had a green card and i never voted because i didn't think we were allowed. >> there's apparently no state that permits that. this proposal which the candidate for secretary of state quite properly criticizes would be the first in the union were that would happen. >> so let me get this straight. you are an illegal in california. you go to the dmv, i want a drivers license and you get one. when you get that they propose you automatically are registered to vote and you

could, indeed vote in a local state election. >> yes, somehow they have to distinguish, inside the ballot booth, or have separate ballot booth for local, state and federal. >> they're not going to do that. >> this is a state where there's not even an organizer of the republican party. >> this is the most radical state in the union with respect to the relationship of the government to the people. they do things their own way. washington. [inaudible] they got 55 electoral votes and we have the largest block of all and can swing the presidential election based on voter fraud. >> precisely. it's a very serious issue. it's good that you articulated this now. the next federal election as this year in 2018. i don't know when this will become law and what the

leadtime will be, but if it does become law, you can that it will be in place by the presidential election in 2020. they are salivating over that in california. >> i'm trying to calm down because that is outrageous. thank you very much. >> i'm sorry to bring you unhappy news. >> now go eat your free lunch.

what is this app, a dating app? that's a? >> you could use it for that, but not truly. it's a social networking app where you find people in your area of similar interests, i considered going back to the sandbox. you had people of similar interest on one spot that you didn't judge off their looks are their shoes or whatever may be. >> so it's getting together with other people. >> cracked and you learning about who they are from what they share in common. >> they got a common interest so you hook into that common interest. >> ) you go on this website and you decide i will look into sports. is about yet? >> it is currently out there. you get on google play or the app store. now (i can understand why this guy is involved in sort of a dating, but what are you doing? >> i know who you are, you're involved in this two. >> absolutely. i think it's very creative.

think of the number of saturated apps that are out there, i think what separates us from anything out there is that again, it's an app that has, helps will meet with shared interest. that's hard to find. some specialize in one thing or another, hive social embodies everything. >> do i pay? >> it's free. >> that's one of the things that separates it from the other app apps. it's completely free. there's no guarantee you have to make friends or go to a certain location, it's up to you. >> it's not your app, you didn't invent this thing. >> no, but you are marketing the sink. >> how do you make, how does the app make money if it's free. we are a financial program, we want to know about the money. >> eventually we'll get to that point. i'm not to brain minus

operation. we have people in place to handle those things. >> and you're off and running already. >> oh yes. this is the notifications from the last 20 minutes. it's taking off. >> see what you get when you come on this program, this one's for you. you might think i know nothing about football. you're probably right, but i understand that you could be voted into the nfl hall of fame. why aren't you in there already? >> you have a lot of people out there that bring up character issues so for me, it's one of the things that in terms of the bylaw in which a player should be inducted, character should be the major issue or emphasis to get in. i think when you look at the bylaw it's based on your body of work and what you've done in that particular sport. in my case, on the football field, but for whatever reason when it comes to me it's always a hurdle, every year as to why i can't get in and they

keep any of these character issues. >> character issues, you were a wide receiver. >> i am a character. forgive me, but i have to ask this ridiculous question. a wide receiver is the guy who runs like hell to the far end of the field and looks to the ball and catches it and makes the touchdown, that's you. you've got to be really fast. >> somewhat. once you get to understand the game, just like hive social, once you understand the nuance.

politics, let's get back. congress is back at work trying to reach a deal on immigration. i want to bring in senator john kennedy, republican from louisiana.

sir, here is the outlying of a deal. you build the wall, you and chine chain migration and in return some of the dreamers stay. i think there's enough moderates on both sides to get together and do that deal, do you? >> i think it's a start. here's the problem. some of my democratic friends only want to talk about amnesty. now that's not going to happen. if they want to talk about immigration, let's talk about immigration. let's talk about the entire problem. you mentioned some of the issues we need to address. chain migration. the diversity of the visa lottery program. the wall, security, trying to design a sense of cold cover blind immigration system like canada and australia that looks like somebody design nothing on purpose. i mean before you talk about

immigration, let's fix the problem. if my democratic friends think that what we agreed to is okay we agreed to talk about amnesty and nothing else, that's not accurate and that's not going to pass the u.s. senate. >> of course not, but if you build that wall and you really rearrange the immigration system, and you do it first, then surely we could be generous with those people who are already here illegally and make them legal in some way or the other. we would be very generous to do that and we would in a sense change our system. >> i think that's a great starting point, but i've got to see that my democratic friends are willing to address the immigration issue holistically.

at least half of them just want to talk about amnesty. that dog is not gonna hunt among all 60 members of the united states senate. it's just not. my democratic friends, some of them did not exactly have a lincoln moment when they decided to shut down the entire united states government. >> i knew you would get there. >> they came to their senses, but even though i don't think my side did anything wrong, i'm going to apologize to your listeners and american people. there are a lot of things i believed in passionately, but i'm not going to shut down one branch of the federal government because i can't get my way. >> i'm terribly sorry, i'm out of time. come back and show csp we have a lot more time. >> this never happens in the uk, does it. >> i'm american mr. senator. >> and we are glad to have you. more bernie after this.
