we'll see what happens in the the next couple of days. that ibm move is 7% and help of jenny ladies have a great day. thank you so much or for a great show. once tben, and that will do it for us stay with fox business, varney "varney & company" is next. stuart take it away. >> i'll cease the day maria that's a fact. good morning maria. good morning everyone. well, look at this. down 300 tuesday up what nearly 200 at the open wednesday what is going on? is this computer driven trading? seen that way yesterday when a single report suggested a china trade meeting has been canceled. today with that report sphiewted the market reverses course. the dow is going to be up what 170, 180 points nice gain for s&p and nasdaq will be up about half percentage point of point d be said this reversal is held by strong earnings reports from ibm, with united technology, and proctor and gamble senate gets

into the shutdown dispute majority lead or will allow two votes one democrat, one republican to get the government reopened. neither is a sure thing. the shutdown is in its 33rd day tsa stick out continues and hundreds irs workers are reportedly off a the job. that could interfere with tax refunds. but overall little impact thus far on the economy. and then there's this. i'll say it is ominous a drone sighting interrupted flights at newark airport for half an hour yesterday. at 5 p.m. eastern incoming flights were halted. they have to circle. recently, traffic at london two biggest airports was disrupted by drone sightings. protesters terrorists or anybody could use a drone or for maximum airport disruption. i call that ominous. stay there please. you will want to hear what john kerry had to say. "varney & company" is about to begin.

>> taken this seriously doesn't have ability to have that kind of conversation. resign. okay. >> well, that was former secretary of state john kerry, obviously, strong words from the president. liz peek is with us foxnews.com columnist. i was going to say columnist -- [laughter] right. well what is the former secretary of state doing using the language like that on foreign soil about our president? >> embarrassing himself. i think first shaleful. shameful comments and i really love this idea that president trump isn't taking presidency seriously. let's remember that after the worst terror attack in european

history john kerry bring john taylor to paris to sing you've got a friend. that a -- >> what was his name? >> no -- was it guys -- james taylor that's right. that is not taking your job seriously but look john kerry like obama administration is trump are is step by step unraveling president obama legacy and nowhere more importantly than on foreign policy, of course, is john kerry as secretary of state legacy too. so iran deal, gone. paris climate accord, gone. and by the way, littles by little european nationses are coming around on the iran deal. not being a good idea. that iran can't be trusted so what is john kerry talking about? he's just annoyed. >> frankly i say he confirms this year is a joke. pfnlg irrelevant. >> i think it is a meeting of people whose policies have failed i think that's a fair statement. >> let's talk about government shutdown going to be two votes in the senate. one from the democrats, one from the republicans.

neither look like a sure thing. how and when will this shutdown end? >> well, i think one of the reasons market might be up today is that this at least shows some movement. it shows that mitch mcconnell is getting involved trying to move senate towards some sort of resolution. i don't think either of these bills will win. you're going to have 7 democrats cross party lines to vote for the bill that does include a border fence that's unlikely to happen. but they're also going to have to vote against a lot of things including protections for the dreamers that democrats very much want. so i think it is a tough vote for a lot of poem and get people like cory gardner and doug jones crossing line probably because i think that's a really tough vote for people who might be in trouble in 2020 and sort of right leaning states. but i think overall this just kind of maybe moves needle forward a little bit and i think that markets would cheer that. this has got to fend and really not a good display of american democracy at work. >> may i suggest it ends when a

poll or several polls come out and say, democrats are to blame. nancy pelosi negotiate. >> i don't think people americans like this. in fact polling already shows that most -- more than a majority of americans don't like the in thes negotiating position which is there has no negotiations position. so i think you're totally right i think if this tbins to backfire on democrats that they overreached once again which had they tend to do. that you will see some sort of change in their policy. right now, though, they think they're winning and it is really an appalling power play they're engaging in. bea harvard harris poll today shows that president approval rating at 45% slightly higher in last poll. >> interesting. they think his base likes what is he's doing, obviously, and some americans again don't like fact that democrats won't even tack to the president. that subpoena unacceptable. >> nancy pelosi speaks is at 10:30 eastern time this morning. >> liz thank you very much

indeed. thank you housing industry. very much in the news recently it has not been looking that good we had existing home sales yesterday. that was a disappointment. right now we've got the latest read i think it is on the trend in home prices. >> trend single family home prices up. they rose in november from october. so it is trail number up 8 .4% but up e nearly 6% year over year. but yearly comparison much better but pace of the rising prices slowed down considerably that's the problem. >> rising prices mortgage rates up a little from where they were. millennial stuck with a lot of student debt. still not a lot -- >> fingers pointing at me. >> so, i mean, that's the case. >> why is why so many are putting off and seeing vacancies across it and think too older generation has larger homes i don't need a big home my point in life. >> let's have a look on your screen right now there's future market pointing to a nice gain at the open bell up about 180

for the dow. how about ibm high per profit revenue declined again but look at that stock go up 7% very big gain. higher sales at comcast, watch it go up. nice gain nearly 3%. rosie forecast from procter & gamble grocery store giant. another quarter strong sales up it goes. 4%. look at united technologies profits improve i believe it is up yes it is up 4.8%. nice earnings reports today. let's stay on markets because dennis is here. all right dennis -- i was about to ask you, if the china trade story is more important than the the earnings reports story? i'll reverse that is earnings report story now more important than china story? >> i think that china story is probably has greater standing pressure standing power for next month two months three months.

earnings numbers look backward china looks forward. i wish we would sit down with or more viable talks with the chinese and hasn't seen remarks come out from china yesterday concerning huawei so yes i do think that the china story has greater legs than those one day of earnings. those are great earnings, however, let's congratulate ibm. and let's look at the fact that with ibm procter & gamble i haven't done the math i don't have my computer with me but of the 190 points the dow is up 100 are from three strongs reported substantive earnings and one of the things that bothers me this morning is that the dow is leading the s&p, the s&p is leading the nasdaq we used to call that painting the tape we'll see what happens. impressive today. not nearly as depressive as yesterday 300 point and actual at one point 450 upon the decline. i've been bullish of stockses i'm somewhat more moderate, of course, of the last 4, 48 hours but unbalanced i think six months from now will be probably

higher. >> what do you make of this -- top of the show, i suggested that maybe computers were reading the headlines and instangtly reacting you know the algorithms tied to headlines. what do you make of that? have i got a point? >> well i think it is a very good point stuart on the way up, the computers have been trained to buy dips now that computers are retraining themselves to sell rallies. and that's probably what's happened. i don't doubt that yesterday was -- was computer driven but let's not get too carried away with fear of computers what has bought has to be sold what is sold has to be bought i think they create liquidity more than anything else. >> dennis says we'll be high per than where we are now so i'll leave it at that. >> leave it at that not dramatically so probably just modestly so one is always better to bet on bullish side of the market than bearish side bullish it is much nicer to dance and bull issues than to do -- than to deflect the bears horns.

i'm neutral right now. but i think unbalanced i would rather be bullish than anything else. >> got it dennis thanks for being with us today we appreciate it. thank you dennis. >> thanks stuart good to see you as always. >> here's the tesla story we used to have amazon now tesla story of the day. going to cost you or more to charge your tesla vehicle. tell me christina. >> on average cost about 19% higher. and reason is they're going from the state structure so everybody in one stot would pay the same pee and now it is individual charging stations because they're beginning to determine the demand. they're seeing an increase and there was one with article actually compared to toyota prixs use the price for a tesla model 3 would cost you about 8 cents per mile but a toyota prius will cost 4 cents per mile so argument is, why get an electronic car when you're seeing prices go higher and not as a much in terms of rebate but infrastructure needs to improve, and we have tesla now. that's increasing prices. >> stock down 6 bucks i think in

premarket trading today. that puts it firmly below 300 dollars share. overall we are going up. at the opening bell this morning look again at this. up maybe 190 maybe 200 points there at the opening bell now this supreme court agreed to hear a case about the right to carry guns outside your home. first tile the courts heard a gun case in about a decade. judge napolitano break it is down for us us in a moment and later we have something very special on the show. jackie robinson original contract. this broke the the color barrier in baseball. not just a piece of sports history, it is a piece of american history. and you're going to see it live we've got it on the set for you and we'll fell you the price to. in other baseball news, yankees closing pitcher rivera got a start in the baseball hall of fame. it was a fore gone conclusion bound to get in. vote to get him inducted was unanimous. first time that's happen ad in the history of baseball. baseball hall of fame i should say watch rivera and his family

react to the news of that unanimous vote. >> i have another piece of news. >> yes. >> you are the first person -- [cheering and applause]

all right just joining us we'll tell you this dow will go up about 180 maybe 190 points at the opening bell 14 and a half minutes away. then there's this. the supreme court accepts its first gun case in nearly a decade weather and to what degree lawmakers can restrict the right to carry guns outside your home. all rise judge nam tan know is here and back again and ten years since a gun case before the supreme court but now we've got a 5-4 conservative majority on court will that make a difference? >> we have a 5-4 conservative with kennedy siding for majority in the right to keep and bear arms is a natural personal

right. not a collective right. in order to get justice kennedy's vote justice scalia had to throw in a line which basically said all of this is subject to reasonable regulations of local an state government. here in new york city, that regulation i would suggest to you is not reasonable and unreasonable, though, you have a license to own a gun in your home in new york, you can only carry gun from your home to one of seven fire -- government improved firing range it is in the city. you can't carry it outside the city. and you can't take it to another home. question -- does that interfere with your right to keep and bear arms? >> the supreme court has had this question put to it many too manies in past ten years they've refused to hear it until yesterday are. they've decided to hear it. justice kavanaugh who, of course, famously replaced justice kennedy has a far broader view of the right to keep and bear arms this is the bear part. what good is the gun keeping it

if you can't bear it if you can't take it to be repaired you can't take it to practice in a place other than where the government wants you to go if you can't take it out of state? >> apart from which if i have a permit to carry a gun in new york city because i'm often carrying a lot of cash around. why can't i defend to carry my gun with me to defend myself? >> because city says it knows better and take care of you. well this is about a sword but this is theory the governments regulation of the supreme court. >> prediction -- the new york city ordinance will be invalidated with sweeping language that will change the law in all 50 states make it more difficult for government to interfere with right to bear. the government is already lost the right to product keep it is about to have its wings clipped on right to bear meaning to carry. >> wow that is fascinating so if you are a diamond merchant had. that gun is in your apartment it

is not on your hip. what good is it if you're carrying diamonds and some knows about it and comes after diamonds and gun is disabled and bureau drawer rather than vainl for yours use that interferes with your right. counterargument not legalistic is do we want a whole bunch of gun on streets of crowded new york? >> that has been progressive argument in places like new york and -- new jersey. wrep, and chicago, and d.c. for many years and that argument is finally finally starting to lose. >> one quick question i've got 20 seconds. should a drone be classified as a weapon and therefore, subject to the authority of the government in regulation? >> after what we saw in newark airport yes so if i saw a drone coming at my farm i would take out a shotgun. [laughter] say this on television -- [laughter] >> i'll take my luck with a jury of farmers on that one. >> back in the 9:00 hour. thank you buys.

thank you, sir. all right check out futures up about 180, and i'm going to give you now repeat of the -- of the new york drone story all incoming flights halted at newark airport last night a drone spotted flying over the runways think about it, anybody with a drone can create havoc more details coming up for you. [ phone rings ] hi, tom. hey, how's the college visit? you remembered. it's good. does it make the short list? you remembered that too. yeah, i'm afraid so. knowing what's important to you... it's okay. this is what we've been planning for. thanks, bye. that's what's important to us. it's why 7 million investors work with edward jones.

i am a techie dad.n. i believe the best technology should feel effortless. like magic. at comcast, it's my job to develop, apps and tools that simplify your experience. my name is mike, i'm in product development at comcast. we're working to make things simple, easy and awesome.

all right like to do this as we run up to opening storkt how it will open lngd side we're going to be up across the board. and let's repeat this drone story real serious stuff. incoming flights halted at newark airport yesterday after a drone was spotted. take me through it. >> in fact two incoming flights coming into new york spotted the drone at about 3500 feet above the airport in northern new jersey which is on flight path as they come into newark. immediately incoming flights were stopped halted 5 p.m. in the afternoon one of the busiest rush hour times in the airport as it is on roadways same l for the airports. departing flights would not affect it. it was just incoming flights for about 30 minutes faa had to then divert other flight and hold back flights so come into newark to reare leave con yetion so drones whatever it was or the drone, was not found.

no one knows who it was -- operated by and can't come within five miles of an airport clearly in violation and reminds us and shutdown two and a half days heathrow shutdown for number of days and when i came down to the news my heart sunk because i was worried you know that what we saw in u.k. gives people ideas here. >> well it would frankly it was resolved in 30 minutes. how do you stop it? >> no idea. i have no idea. we've had some suggestions on this program, kind of dome or that's not a solution? >> anybody can create havoc with these things and that's a fact. >> hope that it can track these people quickly. >> now, christina you have some news on chick-fil-a had is not going to open its restaurant at the mercedes-benz stadium for the super bowl. >> huge deal but stucking to their principles they do it not

open on sundays. the company released a statement saying that they're going stick to their guns pretty much they're going to use day to rest and worship if they choose and encouraging others to do same and they don't open on sunday and losing a huge, however, there have been occasions opened on sunday during texas tornado 2015 they opened to serve free sandwiches and in atlanta stranded at the airport they open and then also last one with at the -- unfortunate shooting in orlando at the pulse nightclub they also opened to serve sandwicheses so they're sticking to their principles and encouraging others not to -- reminding them to worship and -- >> if they so choose. >> i approve i'm sure ashley does not. s investors don't. they can free to do whatever they want to do. look but investors know that they've got their principles. and they're still run that stock up very nicely. true. people like it. they can do it. great. >> no i'm sorry what am i thinking here? i'm very sorry. look at that. to change the subject.

we're up about 200 points at the a opening bell. which will be -- there you go. up 200 points on opening bell told you. we'll be back. did you know with vanishing deductible, you can earn $100 off your deductible for every year of safe driving? sing that. ♪ vanishing deductible, you can... ♪ ♪ earn $100... ♪ earn $100 off... ♪ off your deductible. ♪ deductible. ♪ for every year of safe driving. ♪ ♪ for every-- for every-- ♪ ♪ for every year of safe driving. ♪ what are you-- what key are you in?

20 seconds to go and see how much of yesterday's loss will be

reversed to the open bell down 301 points yesterday we closed at 24,400 we're expecting to open up over 200 point this morning. so in two second we'll piepgd out if much of the loss is being done. it is largely gone. now we're up look at that now 203 point right from the get-go 205 okay. holding a gain of 200 points 24,600. that is about .8%. show me the s&p 500 please. where are we? we're up about half percentage point. the dow is a better gain i'll say. how about the nasdaq? let's see what that's doing in first couple of seconds a nice gain of two-thirds of one percent and we've had had big names or already reporting their profits or already this morning. comst cast profits up. stocks up 3% proctor and gambling doing well a 4% gain

there and kimberly clark people are down nearly 4 nearly 5% and united technologies look at that. up -- very solid better than 5% gain. we better check parking lot big texts i think all down yesterday and all of them are up today apple at 154 apple 1653 facebook 147. alphabet up and microsoft back to 106 who is with me i'll tell you. eddy is here. shah gilani is here christina joins now. and ashley webster to boot what is issue facing market right now? is it earnings or is it china trade? eddy -- >> 100% china. that is the biggest issue right now in the market. that's the the reason why everyone is so worried about earnings for 2019 heading into this year is all a of the earnings called worries about tariff and trade if we get a trade deal with china, i think that's going to be the catalyst for next leg up for this market. but more importantly for the global economy as a whole. smg what's the most important

thing for the market earnings or china? >> this morning it is earnings but i agree with eddy it is china and i agree with him 100% if we get a positive note on some resolution market will go through heaven forbid nothing by the deadline it is anticipating that the donald trump needs to do something in order to push the market higher. if nothing whats i think this market has got a big tanking ahead of it. >> really -- if we have a deal -- >> with china it has to be china because everyone is watching china. all a of the investors are watching china if we get a deal market will go up another leg and set the stage for rest of the year. if we don't, and it's so negative that there is no chance of a resolution to this and trade tariffs turns into a trade war. market is going to tank. >> that pressure on mr. trump because one of the key point of earnings is guidance. we, you know, yes past earnings important but the guidance is critical until we sold the china issue that guidance is clouded it can't be that accurate.

to that point thus far we haven't seen that much of lewding to the china trade with the exception of apple. >> that's true. none of them have said hey had windchill out because it is china. and most of the earnings reports have been pretty good i think. most of them at least. most. >> i've got some numbers for you about how we feel about the economy in investing. a gallop poll says 48% of us are feeling more pessimistic about the economy. nearly half of us. where that comes from. up 12% from november. ouch, and boston consulting group says 73% of investors are worried about a recession. eddy comment please. looks like a bunch red flags to me. >> i love this. because when there's a lot of pessimism, that's just another case for my bullish reasoning for this market. in october i got a little bit cautious as my concerns was too much complacency in the market then we have this -- selloff in the fourth quarter now all of a sudden the world is coming to an end. it was oversold in december we

get the china deal. this secular market continues so i love pessimism. >> is that your quite a few in this studio she cringed when you said you love this stuff -- move quickly along here check the price of oil please. we were down to about 52 yesterday. where are we now? 53 dollar per barrel. and i have to tell you this, the price of gas is inching up again. 2.26 is national average. i don't like it -- [laughter] >> low. we're laughing at you. you're laugh willing you're like to see 15 a cents. yeah. when i first came to america there was gas wars. you know, that we won state at 25 a gallon and one with was 26 cents gallon and you go off to 25 cent a gallon. stop that, let's get serious. tesla, raising the price for a charge of their electric vehicles.

the stock crude oil would you down 9 bucks is it a good move to raise charge price? >> a terrible move but they need to that's why stock is down. i don't have position i'm going to take another shot at shorting again. i have been beaten up a couple of times heading down to 250 if it breaks 250, 240 and go below i think 190. >> oh. so we've got earnings coming up, i think elon musk has warning he's been talking about and don't expect profit we might have one and see if it is slim and also fact that you know he's -- going to need to raise capital he has a bond coming due and stock is way below 387 range where he's going to need to raise money, and it is this a huge problem for them. >> but that is a big deal for tesla to eat up a ton of their cash. >> and i think it is more than 900 million coming due to replace that with something. i don't know how debt market will feel about that. down 3% down to 289.

>> accelerating and average price right now they're predicting 225 dollars share. >> ouch. >> okay. check the big board because this is the high of the day. as with suggested almost all of yesterday's loss has been erased we're pup 272 points. look at this. better profit at ibm, okay revenue is down again. butted profit was up and stock is gain there of 7% that's big gain for ibm. e revenue falling short at capital one financial. what does that do to stock take it is down, 4.7%. then we have lowe's home improvement people now official sponsor of the nfl or one of the sponsors, it is a multiyear deal covered the super bowl and other events like annual draft, stocks taking it down what, about a third of within percent. what do you make of the strategy eddy? >> i think it is good from a branding perspective for them home depot is trying to make a real big push to get market share from home dough foe sorry

lowe's is so they're trying to go after the consumer that does a lot of their own renovations in their house and with housing market as low asking down, that could be an area that you can see untick because people are do more renovation to their home when market slows down on housing side. >> i'm not allowed inside a lowe's or pick up a screwdriver or hammer. >> i'm that bad. >> thank you christina qk to the show. great to have you. now this -- ups expanding keyless dropoff for packages that means -- they can drop off your package inside your home or apartment. so it doesn't get stolen when they leave it outside. s that's a direct shot at amazon isn't? >> amazon key that has a same tg but you can't get into the home only apartment buildings because they buzzed i know i live in apartment building they'll buzz every unit to get in so they can drop off the product so now they can have a key if -- if you choose to -- >> if you so choose. qow so choose?

>> well i let people in all of the time like water delivery ups delivery. fedex -- [laughter] i shouldn't say that on live television here's one of my favorite stories. global warming on the agenda. of course -- it always is. global elites gather there, of course. andand 1,500 jets expected. that will melt the snow in the alps all of that -- so laughable, though, isn't it? all up there they're of the world. >> very rich, very elite getting together to talk about poverty irony cannot be lost on anyone sure isly. [laughter] >> xepght -- i know cool like a john kerry what i like more is not taking helicopters from the airport where they're staying. because they can't get a spot in the city, though, so those are elite that get it right in the center. don't try to excuse them christina. but i'm not trying to show off i

have a better jet and you have plush seats and you've got leather. seriously -- davos this year is irrelevant. major leaders are are not there. mr. trump is not there xi jinping is not there. it's not relevant because it is for protesters. there will be. so what you've got is -- a bunch of people sharing sail idea and congratulating each other and leaving and oblivious to the real world. >> i think we'll leave it on that note shall we? oh, it is 9:40. [laughter] we have to say good-bye eddy thank you. sorry you made your good wife cringe there. watch yourself. [laughter] shah gilani is your name thanks for joining us. we have got a rally as we said almost completely erasing yesterday's loss we're up 250 at the moment that's a 1% gain. the coast guard still working during the shutdown not getting paid.

is the first time in history that act aive duty military personnel are not paid during a shutdown next a congressman who visits coast guard people how much pain are they feeling and what's he doing about his own pay? good story. he's coming up. something a little different professional boxer keith thurman son the show. defending his title in the big fight this weekend. he's not your typical boxer. he drives a prius studies yoga and plays the lute he's on the show. how about that? [laughter] this is must watch television, ladies and gentlemen. we will be back. our grandparents checked their smartphones

when it might be time to buy or sell? with fidelity's real-time analytics, you'll get clear, actionable alerts about potential investment opportunities in real time. fidelity. open an account today. not quite the hist day but we'll take it with a gain of 240

point, 24,260 is where we are. carter republican from georgia, mr. congressman welcome to the show good to see you, sir. >> thank you. you're one of the 100 members of congress who have rejected pay during the shutdown. tell us why you're doing that. >> well look if the hardworking federal employees in that district aren't going to get paid then i'm not either that's only fair. and it is very unfortunate we have a lot of -- federal employees in the first district we have the federal law enforcement training center down in glencoe and coast guard, in fact, i had opportunity to meet with members of the coasted guard yesterday and when a great group of professionals i'm telling you these professionals truly understand their mission. they fulfill their responsibilities they're not happy with not getting paid none of us are. but at the same time they are still there doing their job. day in and day out. >> i want to talk to you about the tweet that president trump just put out about unity in the

republican party of which you, of course, are a member. i want to read it to you i want to see this. great unity in the republican party. want to once and all put an end to stop a war crime on drugs border security and wall no doubt. now, the president saying look we've got unity in republican party. ishave you? is it locked tight solid behind the president? >> i would say yes. i would agree with the president. i think we are unified in this. we all all understand the importance. you know, we need to focus on the the issue here. the the issue is a porous border with gangs, criminals we have human trafficking all of these things that are impacting our society need to be stopped. i would consider it to be a crisis and yes i do believe that i'm sure there are few exceptions within the party but for the most part for the vast majority, i think we are unified in acknowledging that we need to

address this crisis and we need to do it now. >> are you prepared to make any confession whatsoever that president demands a wall with or a physical structure in and any demands over 5 billion dollars. would you full become on either demand? >> i'm sure that's up to the president but i would be -- i would be receptive to that, and the president has done his part. look, this is the way the process works. congress the legislative body, appropriate. when the executive branch when the president doesn't agree with it then we try to negotiate well if you've got to side that doesn't want to negotiate that takes a not one cent mentality or we're not going to allow this president to deliver on a campaign promise, then it doesn't work. this system has to work. we have to negotiate. there is a compromise out there. i can -- i can tell you it exist. >> we have the tsa sick out continuing problems at the airport as. we've got irs walkers reportedly

hundreds of them in a sick out that could interfere with tax refunds you yourself visited hard press coast guard people, i put it to you. there is enormous pressure to get this thing settled but yet, no movement. can't go on forever this thing. >> no it can't and that's why we need to be negotiating. that's why the president went on -- on tv in publicly last saturday and offered a solution. he's doing his part. he's negotiating, but democratic leadership and a the house and senate they're the ones who are not negotiating. that's not the way this system works. the system works is that you gorget and come it a xrieses. >> we're in dier straights here would you say that by the end of next week one week from now, for example, you think this will be over? >> listen i'm the eternal optimist yeah. i do believe that we can -- and again this is up to the democrats. this is up to their leadership. whether they decide okay we're

going to negotiate we're going bring this to an a end and address a problem that we acknowledge years ago when we voted for the qawl funding. yeah, they did that. and yet now all of a sudden it is not -- it's not a problem. and it is immoral are you kidding me, come on. >> congressman carter thanks very much for joining you surprised me, though, with a question. thank you very much for joining us we appreciate it. >> yes, sir. >> let's check that market again because we've got a niceup side move 250 points up, and we've got let's see now 24 of the dow 30 in the green. they are up. pretty much a gain across the board today. president trump tweeting out a very interesting poll has support among latinos hitting 50% now that's a big number. i want to know why it is so high. weal tell you after this. i don't know what's going on. i've done all sorts of research, read earnings reports, looked at chart patterns. i've even built my own historic trading model.

and golden auction guy, and they'll tell us all it be. that's quite something really is high. now president trump is being tweeting about his support of polling support amongst latinos. look at this. nprpbs poll shows president trump's approval rating among latinos going to 50% that's an increase in one year of 19%. thank you. working hard. that's the presidential tweet. what a surprise, joining us now is daniel gaza president of the libra initiative i call that a conservative latino group. next up there. >> conservative group. okay. [laughter] 50% support among latinos to president trump explain it. and the community record labor participation rate record home ownership wageses are up, record increases annually or for the latino community so expanding

opportunities. latinos self-identify more conservative than they do liberal or moderate according to a poll and historic. you were surprised you have to admit it was a shock pool. it is but as a conservative who loves the president's decision on the supreme court, on less taxes on less regulations pro energy, i'm glad to see that. but it is border wall in immigration that has so many people thinking that latinos oppose the president. >> people forget that the president was elected on basically a very much on that promise that he was going to enhance border security is part of it being infrastructure along the border. i'm from texas i live on the border. i appreciate my security. >> could it be that many latinos already living here do not like the idea of people coming across the border undocumented some of them criminal some of them gang members do they not like illegals? >> there are -- americans overall not just latinos. are the most compassionate

generous people in the world. but they also like order. we get to choose who comes into our country, and so in this order what they want is expanded security. so this is a priority for the latino community too. and when they see the president acting on behalf of the country to enhance board security that's important but the president should also heed that -- the other priority is that vast number of americans not just latinos want to see thing permanent a permanent solution for the daca community so they want to see both solutions taken care of. >> will the democrats lose the support of latinos if they continue to iger ignore dreamers and do down interests. >> will be wise to remember what abraham lincoln said this was a country of the people by the people and for the people. not of the party and by the party and for the party. so you have to listen to what the american people are telling you and they're telling you they want more border security they want also a permanent solution

for daca community, and what i mean by a permanent solution is they're tired of these young kids who are brought here to -- the decision was made for them that you don't have to keep, keeping consequences for actions of their parents we want something that is going to give them certainty in their lives that is long-term so they can contribute to america like in millions of immigrants have done of before and current is is bad. it is great to hear you say that. i'm an immigrant i've been taking some stick actually.

stuart: exposed, the pernicious influence of social media and the eager to hate left. i'm talking about the covington catholic high school in kentucky and the deliberate destruction of young men's lives. if there was ever a teaching moment, this is it. saturday, a brief video emerged on twitter. it showed an elderly native-american surrounded by young white men, some wearing maga hats. immediate charges of racism. nathan phillips told "the washington post," he was swarmed by teenagers chanting build that wall. he told the "detroit free press," the young men were beasts praying on a group of black protesters. liberals had a field day. they indicted president. sunday a longer video emerged showed the truth. nathan phillips approached the young men, not the other way

around. black hebrew israelites were chanting racial epithets. remind me of duke lacrosse players terrorized by the media. these days we have social media to encourage lies and hate. twitter took down the original short video but did not take down the posts of trump haters. so-called comedienne kathy griffin wants personal information of young men to be publicized so they are can be terrorized and they have been. twitter didn't take that down. reza aslam, posted that the young men had punchable face. not taken down. social media has been taken over by trump haters. the mainstream media eagerly jumped on board. disgraceful. that's "varney & company."

entire quarter. what do you say to that? >> that is not a very pleasant thought for investors. i got to tell you, that comes at a time when corporate earnings estimates have fallen off a cliff for the first half of this year. now we're in earnings season for the fourth quarter. we already know those numbers will be good, right? , when you look at first quarter, short while ago, a few months ago, we were looking high single-digit growth this year that would have been fine. the market is trading 15 times earnings, that is ordinary price. that is ordinary growth. estimates fallen for the first quarter of 2019 are looking for 2%. second quarter for 3% i'm not sure that is quite enough growth. we're not at end of the quarter yet. we have to see what happens, by the end of the first quarter we cohave estimates calling for earnings decline which i think no one is really pricing in right now. i think market will not -- i'm not saying it is going to happen. that is the way the forecasts are trending. stuart: forecasts could be defensive. you play something down,

hopefully you can beat the expectations. >> a good point. like for the fourth quarter, wall street says 14%. everybody knows we'll come in three or four points higher than that so we, upside surprises are no longer that surprising companies companies manage expectticses. numbers generally come in ahead. i think a lot hinges on what that growth will look like this year. stuart: kevin hassett says there will be a trade deal with china by march the 1st. that is it what he said, flat-out there. maybe the market is focusing on that, we're up 270. >> you get short term movements. i think that is shiny object in the foreground investors are watching. equal at least as important, maybe more important is what is going on in the background with the trend for growth. this march, you know we talk about super bowl soon. we'll talking about march madness, basketball tournament. there is march madness coming for investors we have government shut down could roll into

deadline for the debt ceiling. we have brexit and wee have china trade. big deadlines for all of these things in the month of march. going to be pivotal for investors. stuart: i got to tell you i really doubt if this thing doings on the first quarter that you will have 0% growth for economy. i doesn't that. >> it is both sides, trying to make the other side feel pain, and investors are stuck in the middle wondering which way it will turn right now. hopeful for a deal. these are three big issues that need to be resolved in a sensible way by march. for this market to continue to head higher. stuart: got it, jack hough. thank you very much. >> thank you. stuart: let's get to politics. far-left freshmen in congress

receiving key assignments on the house oversight committee and also on the house financial services committee too. james pindle, political reporter for "the boston globe.." james, i see real trouble here. radicals on the, on the oversight committee. radicals on the financial oversight committee. aoc, tlaib, i see this as a problem. what do you see? >> when you look in the house oversight committee it is pretty much a grandstanding committee ever since dan burton held it in the clinton administrations. republicans leading it, democrats leading it. while it is accountability committee by definition this has really been a grandstanding sort of a showy committee to hold the administration accountable depending who is in office. whether or not anything gets done in that committee, particularly with divided government in that committee but certainly there will be a lot of

headlines coming out of it. stuart: i want to talk to but the 2020 race as well. i have your latest headline and it reads, elizabeth warren new hampshire swing is about poaching bernie sanders's base. is she succeeding? >> to a degree yes, she is. there is a lot of deep questions whether or not bernie sanders should run. that particular story looked at the new hampshire where bernie sanders won by 23 points over hillary clinton. anyone, even a moderate to do well in new hampshire primary will have to win over bernie sanders supporters. right now we're trying to figure out the different lanes ever since liz about the warren come in the race on december 31st, we have one candidate come into the race every 3.1 days. obviously senator harris came in on monday. we have two on this week. this will be a wild primary to see exactly how these candidates move to the left, which is obviously the dynamic in this

democratic primary as well as actually who can stand out from the crowd. stuart: i don't see many moderates running. i see a lot of people on the left and dragging the whole party to the left? >> you know what is interesting about that? i accept your premise. what is interesting about that you may have so many progressive or self-styled progressive playing to the base they could take up the bigger slice of the pie. that is a moderate is the one who could be left with a bigger voting bloc. maybe even mike bloomberg for example, to throw out a name that could appeal to a more moderate democrat would play better because he has more of a chunk, because everyone else is splitting up the pie. stuart: i didn't think billionaires are very popular in the democrat party? >> they are not. if there is one, running on one particular angle. look what happened to donald trump in 2016. he was throughout almost all of the primary season, 70% of the republicans picked the different candidate. he had a solid 30% definitely with him.

the same dynamic could happen on democratic side. mike bloomberg is not aligned where the democratic party is in 2020 but he may have that solid chunk on his behalf. stuart: he has $20 billion. that doesn't hurt. >> i hear you. stuart: jack, thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: get back to my editorial let loose at top of the hour, social media spreading hate and misinformation in the covington incident. ash, kristina, i don't know how you stop this but i find that covington situation absolute disgrace. you want to chime in? ashley: absolutely. the problem is, once the detractors are desperately looking anything to latch on to, they are easily manipulated. social media, editing of video can be incredibly misleading. looking at something, declaring outrage and taking it to the innth degree when we found out there was a lot more to the story, that is often the case.

stuart: destruction of young men's lives is appalling. >> it is opportunity where people rushing to judgment. that is what we're seeing too often. it is social stereotyping we're seeing to fit whichever narrative. from the left side, look, they're wearing maga hats. from the right, liberals rushing to judgment right away. issue for everybody, journalists, this should be a pivotal moment you don't take something at face value. literally like a sound bite in somebody's interview. it is 10 seconds, when you need to know the entire picture. it is unfortunate everyone wants to rush and publish first. ashley: it will not change. it will not change. we would like world peace. that will not happen either. it is reality. >> journalists, watching the situation, executive producers and maybe i should double-check. ashley: no. >> they are quick to forget. ashley: it creates a wave whatever it is. no one can stop the wave. the way it is. >> we can. ashley: you can try but good

luck, good luck. >> i will try my best. stuart: journalists didn't in the covington situation. >> i know. a lot of people were quick to judge. stuart: people piled in there disgracefully. now this, vice president pence declaring america's unwavering support for the opposition in venezuela, opposition to president nicolas maduro. protesters take to the streets today. our next guest says today is do-or-die for the opposition. big deal. the country she says, has erupted. i want to know what the end game is. maybe we're close? mexico trying to fast track humanitarian visas as the migrant caravan heads our way through mexico. president trump says build a wall and crime will fall. we're on the story. plus we really do cover it all on "varney." later this hour i will be joined by keith thurman, he is a boxing champ defending his title this weekend but he is not your typical boxer. in his spare time he does yoga, he studies religion, he plays

claim to power. he has never won the presidency in a free and fair election. and he has taken mained his group of power by imprisoning anyone who dares to oppose him. stuart: now let's bring in mariance stacia o'grady, columnist for "the wall street journal" this is your turf. you're saying this is make-or-break day, do-or-die for the opposition in venezuela. make your case? >> well this is what i'm being told for the opposition. let's establish first of all, january 23rd is important day for venezuela. it is the day in 1958 they told the last dictator he had to go. they poured out in the streets, they said no more. that is for sure why the president of the national assembly elected, has chosen today to have this rally, to call the venezuelans to the street. he will be sworn in as president. i think what the plan is, they

will go to the palace where the dictator is, tell him his lease is up, and he is being evicted that. >> is serious stuff. people of venezuela marching on the president. >> they have done this many times in the last 20 years. the question is, what will the military do, that is the key question. lots of people. i have my ear to the ground there, are saying that the military will take the side of the people, the reason is simple. you have children, their bones are showing. the starvation, malnutrition, the disease, treatable diseases, the country is just at its wit's end. it is saying no more. this is do-or-die. they're very determined. people said a lot of them are willing to die, but the question is again, which side will the military take? let's not forget that the cubans have infiltrated the military, they have cyber control of the country and so forth. still, the people that i'm

talking to are saying, that enough of the people in the military side are going to break with maduro because they have families too. they have seen their country go down the drain. stuart: we've had you on the show, many, many times, i always ask the same question, when does it end, how does it end? >> stuart, you're one of the few people who continue to care about this case. it is a big deal. stuart: they're virtual neighbors. >> heartbreaking, 30 million people living in squalid conditions. it is awful. stuart: this could be the day when it ends? >> it could be. there are other things that could happen. it could be partial break with the military. in which case i would anticipate a lot of violence. there might be, fighting and don't forget also that the cubans have trained paramilitary squads. chavez bought 100,000 kalashnikovs from russia and he distributed them to his paramilitary. what will these guys do? will they try to go after the crowds? in the past they used sniper

fire to kill people marching in tennis shoes. they have been very brutal. the question is, today will the military take the side of the venezuelaian people say you know what? this is enough. we'll go with interim president. we'll have new, fair elections. we'll try to start over? or will the military side with cuba, side with the dictatorship and gun people down in the streets? that is the test. i have a feeling it will be some mix of that. so if that is what happens there will be violence because those, the two sides will clash. but i don't, sorry, just one more point, i don't think it is sustainable, the current situation just because the entire country, super poor neighborhoods which were supporters of hugo chavez. last night there was, they set on fire a big statue of hugo chavez in the state of bolivar. they're taking down chavez symbols. they're very angry. i'm talking about the real

people in the barrios. not the elites which of course were the initial ones went against this 21st century socialism. stuart: mary, thank you very much for pointing out the significance of the day and the drama involved today. please come back soon, tell us what is going on. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: thank you. stay with fox business because trish regan will interview vice president pence this evening, 8:00 p.m. eastern time. do not miss that one, 8:00 p.m. eastern time, fox business. check the market again. we still have a 200 point gain, about 20 minutes ago we were up 300. we have come down a little bit. still a solid gain. 24,600 is the level. ♪

the quarter, things are bad. it is more embarrassing than long economic impact. stuart: you don't think it will have that big of an impact on the economy? is he exaggerating? >> i think really depends how long the shutdown lasts of the government estimates at about one point, 0.13% a week off gdp. we're down for seven weeks already. almost a percent off gdp. we're looking 2 1/2%. we're looking 1 1/2 now. stuart: why are you still so positive? if it is having impact of economy. >> takes away the economy from the first quarter. all the things come back from the second quarter. all the ipos, people get paychecks, go shopping. all this sufficient is really borrowing, taking away we get it back. stuart: all right. let's be hypothetical, let's speculate wildly. >> shall we? stuart: why not. suppose we get a trade deal by march the 1st. some kind of a deal. doesn't have to not be all encompassing, handshakes all

are going up, we've seen that, and we think that will continue to happen through the year and housing values were really high all last year. we're seeing softening. i think the market is slowing down. maybe a good time to buy, almost turning into a buyers market where the last year plus was a sellers market in my opinion. stuart: is there another problem here, student debt? that is huge overhang for first-time buyers, millenials, that is a problem, isn't it? >> the big reason why millenials don't buy a home, don't understand the down payment, maybe i have to bring 10, 20%, you can get it for cheaper than that. absolutely. majority of houses are bought with 3, 5, 10% down when everyone thinks 10, 20, 30% down. with that plus student loan debt. they don't know there is opportunity. you know what they do? stay on the side continue to rent. that is slowing housing. first-time home buyers slowed

with that in mind. i think -- stuart: you would give a youngster a loan, give them a mortgage, if they only put down 3%? >> fha has done 3 1/2% forever. va for veterans is no money down. stuart: so the secondary guys would buy the mortgage you originated? >> it's a huge part of the market. thinking 20% down is almost not the best choice. having cash in your pocket, ability to handle different things when you're a first-time homebuyer is key. you have to find a mortgage ex-pet to educate you on it so you can figure out your options. people think 20% down, big bank, 3, five, 10% down, talk to a local mortgage broker you find the option works best for your family. stuart: if i put 3% down you will charge much higher rate than 20% down. >> that is what you would think. that is not the case. with mortgage insurance, anything less than 20% down through fannie and freddie, you don't get a higher rate. maybe talks about hundreds of

thousands, thousand dollars difference in fees, i tell you not a big of a deal. i recommend to my own brother, even though you have 20% down, put it in your pocket. something invested for rainy day. people don't know, 5% down, 3% down, 10% down is the norm. it is a safe loan with credit scores and qm out there with fannie and freddie. stuart: can you make getting a mortgage easier? jumping through hoops of fire when you go the to bank with all the paperwork. plowing through the electronic stuff, it is murder. >> it is getting a lot easier. stuart: no it is not. >> i really think you have to talk to an expert. people think i can do it myself. you can't do a mortgage itself. not bike -- like buying a airline ticket. closes loan 15, 20, 30 days max. it is happening. you have to find the right person than going on line, sigh the commercial, going after the
