tv   Varney Company  FOX Business  January 31, 2020 9:00am-12:00pm EST

9:00 am
jack and dagen. >> teach me how to catch a football. >> you did all right. you did okay. good luck to both teams. it's the big game. you guys have worked so hard. i want to say rest in peace, the late chris doleman, minnesota vikings family. we love you. maria: have a great day, everybody. "varney & company" begins right now. stu, take it away. stuart: good morning, maria. good morning, everyone. the coronavirus is not contained. the market's down because of it. impeachment looks like it's done and the brits are coming ouchlt now let's get into it. we start with the amazing amazon. a spectacular earnings report. the stock has zoomed and taken the company to a trillion dollar valuation. that's the fourth trillion dollar american company. by the way, jeff bezos saw his net worth go up by $13 billion in a matter of seconds when the stock spiked. we have more on this for you. impeachment, oh, could be over soon. it appears mitch mcconnell has
9:01 am
enough republican unity to prevent the appearance of witnesses in the senate. that means it's very unlikely it will drag on as the democrats would like. a final vote, acquittal, could come tonight or tomorrow. i will call that a win. brexit, hours to go before the brits are finally out. by tomorrow morning, britain's parliament will again be making rules for the british people. i will call that a win, too. and the virus, 213 deaths in china, 10,000 cases worldwide. it's been declared a world health emergency. our state department issued a do not travel alert on china. listen to this. goldman sachs says the virus will bring china's economic growth rate down to 5.5% and says goldman, america's economy takes a hit as well, but it rebounds sharply by midyear. that's goldman. look at these modest declines across the board for the market. down 130 for the dow, not too modest, down 12 for the s&p, 26
9:02 am
down for the nasdaq. listen to this. joe theismann, nigel farage, pete hegseth, steve hilton, all of them on the show. let's do this thing. "varney & company" is about to begin. well, we're proudly creating jobs and killing terrorists. congressional democrats are consumed with partisan rage and obsessed with a deranged witch hunt hoax. you know, we're having probably the best years that we've ever had in the history of our country and i just got impeached. can you believe these people? i got impeached. they want to nullify your ballots, poison our democracy and overthrow the entire system of government.
9:03 am
that's not happening, i can tell you that. stuart: i'm going to call that rallying the base. i think it was in iowa just two days before the caucuses. we will definitely have more on that in just a moment. first, i've got to get to amazon with their blowout holiday numbers. see that? premarket, up $200. give me the numbers. susan: record sales, earnings crushed it and also, we had lower costs to get to one-day shipping and they signed up more prime members as well. there's a lot to like in this report. as you are looking at the stock, up 11%, the fourth trillion dollar company in the u.s. and if it was a dow component it would add almost 1200 points to the dow index and we would be pushing closer to 30,000 at this point. but there were some weak spots if you had to pick something. amazon web services computing division was up 34%, stellar but traditionally in the fourth quarter it's up 40% and physical stores, lower from a year ago. hey, there's a lot of good, a
9:04 am
little bit of bad. stuart: i wouldn't call it that bad. cloud services up 34% instead of 40%. i can't call that bad. up $205 a share as of right now. oh, look who's here. gerald storch, who knows retail backwards and forwards. is jeff bezos the new santa claus? you know, presiding over this money machine and enjoying extraordinary holiday sales? what do you say? >> well, he sure is. you could see this one coming a mile away. no one should be that surprised. we knew the consumer was strong. we knew holiday sales were overall quite strong. but what we saw were mixed results for bricks and mortar retailers so where were the sales? now we know. they were on amazon. what is remarkable here to me was not only did they grow much faster than the bricks and mortar competitors but they grew faster than their e-commerce
9:05 am
competitors. so most of the market, the e-commerce market grew by 15% to 18%. no small change over the holiday season. amazon grew by 22%. so half of e-commerce already, and they are growing faster than the rest of the market combined. stuart: the thing is, they do it right. they spent a fortune on what was it, same day or next day delivery and they got it right. it actually worked. they're just really good at what they do. they are the best what what the do. >> they have been doing this from the beginning. i partnered with jeff, i have competed with jeff, he's amazing, the company is amazing at what they do. you don't want to have them as a competitor. it's much better as a partner in life. the bottom line is that most consumers now just turn to amazon even when they're searching for a product. a lot of times, nobody else even gets a chance at the sale, then the delivery is spectacular and
9:06 am
the new logistics network they built out is unmatched. nobody can compete with them anymore. nobody can get it there as fast as they can and as reliably as they can. stuart: i'm seriously thinking about becoming an amazon prime member. i'm seriously thinking about going online and actually ordering something. if they're that good, i better get into it. hold on, i've got some more for you in just a second. i've just got to show our viewers this. a new gallop poll, hard to believe, 84% of us, we americans, are satisfied and happy with our quality of life. how about that. jonathan hoenig, come in, please, market watcher. that's not what we have been hearing. i thought the economy didn't work for everybody, we were all down in the dumps and a rotten bunch of people to boot. >> no, no. people are satisfied, stuart. look, an 11-year bull market has a lot to do with it. the stock market tends to follow consumer confidence in a lot of these statistics but i think there's also a moral element going on here. look, for eight years under obama, we had a leader who was
9:07 am
constantly apologizing for america. he literally went on an apology tour. there was a little bit of sense of guilt, little sense of just not feeling right about living and succeeding in america. i got a lot of problems with donald trump's positions on many policies but he doesn't apologize for this country and i think that's why so many americans are actually feeling the exuberance and feeling that optimism that the gallop poll refers to. stuart: left-hand side of the screen, i'm not sure you can see it, the markets are going to open lower. i take it this is because of virus fears. not yet contained. how would you play this market? >> i would play it first and foremost by hand sanitizing. that's how i'm doing everything these days. that's the easiest way to play it. it's a terrible human tragedy but it also potentially, goldman sachs alluded to this, could be an economic tragedy. this isn't just china's problem. the global economy is an interconnected whole and whether it's disney or starbucks or the airlines or google, companies are suspending operations, pulling their operations out. i tell you, i don't believe a
9:08 am
word china says on this. if they say it's 200 people that have died it's probably more like 2,000 people have died. look, the trend is up for stocks. we have seen from amazon. but stuart, this could be an excuse for people to sell and we finally get that long-awaited 10% correction. stuart: gerald storch, what's your assessment of the impact of the virus on the global economy and on america's economy? >> you know, of course it's a great tragedy when anyone gets sick but when you take a look at this kind of impact on the market, what you see time and time again is the markets are overreacting. while it is true that it's a serious matter, it's a short-term matter. it really shouldn't affect the fundamental valuation of these companies. goldman sachs' impact might be a quarter or two. whatever it is, it's short-term. if you take a look at any valuation, when you are in the m & a business or buying a company, look at cash flows that go out, at least ten years with a value beyond that. what happens the first two months really doesn't matter in the value of a company. i think this is a profound overreaction in terms of market values of these stocks, even as
9:09 am
of course it's quite serious human tragedy. stuart: gerald storch, thank you very much indeed. always appreciate it. thank you. got to take a quick look at ibm. the chief stepping down. she's held the ceo title for about eight years. she's stepping down. the stock's gone up five bucks to $142. okay. let's move on to the big picture. we are going to open lower this morning, down 100 for the dow, 12 the s&p, 26 the nasdaq. now then, the big game is on fox just two days away. that means super bowl commercials. we are talking or taking a walk down memory lane this morning, showing you all the iconic highlights throughout the years. i remember them all. speaking of the super bowl, joe theismann's with us, live from miami. i will ask him his game picks and those record high ticket prices. is that a sign of a booming economy? i think it is. i'm predicting the impeachment
9:10 am
circus is just about over but will democrats keep it going? watch this. >> there is no limit on the number of times the senate can vote to convict or not a president. >> this president is impeached for life. >> we will not stop. whether or not that leads to another impeachment activity, i don't know. stuart: i just can't wait. sounds like they will try to impeach the president again and again. mike huckabee joins us next to react to all of that. we'll be right back. look, this isn't my first rodeo...
9:11 am

9:13 am
i think you can too. trust aag for the best reverse mortgage solutions. so you can... retire better. stuart: virus fears hit the market again but not that badly, down about 100 for the dow at the opening bell. look at viacom cbs, transitioning leadership to george cheeks from joe ianello. down a tiny fraction. got it. the latest on impeachment. here we go. it looks like the senate lacks the votes to call witnesses.
9:14 am
senator lamar alexander is now a no on calling witnesses. i'm going to read his statement. if this shallow, hurried and wholly partisan impeachment were to succeed it would rip the country apart, pouring gasoline on the fire of cultural divisions that already exist. there's no need for more evidence to prove something that's already been proven and that does not meet the united states constitution's high bar for impeachable offense. former governor of arkansas mike huckabee joins us now. i'm saying this thing is almost over. what say you, sir? >> as always, stuart, you're right. you're always right. by golly, you have done it again. i hope you're right. this thing has just gone on insufferably and you know, only pierre delecto in the republican house and senate and susan collins looks like they may vote for it. we don't know about lisa murkowski yet but even if she goes the way of pierre delecto, it still is going to leave it so that there's no witnesses and i'm going to make a point,
9:15 am
stuart. this whole idea of we got to have witnesses, my question would be, i thought the house said they had an air-tight absolute slam-dunk case. they presented it, it was sure and solid. well, if it's so sure and solid, why do they need to add something to it. if the soup is so good it can't be bested and it's perfect, then you don't start putting other ingredients in the soup. that's what these house members have wanted to do. it makes them look like idiots. stuart: it may not, even if there is a final vote, it may not be over. listen to what the democrats are promising, which is more impeachment. roll that tape again, please. >> there is no limit on the number of times the senate can vote to convict or not a president. no limit to the number of times the house can vote to impeach or not a president. >> this president is impeached for life, regardless of any gamesmanship on the part of mitch mcconnell. there's nothing the senate can do that can ever erase that. >> we will not stop.
9:16 am
whether or not that leads to another impeachment activity, i don't know, but i know we must continue with the work that our constituents have elected us to come to congress to do. stuart: surely, governor, that is a political mistake if you keep this thing going. >> well, they seem to be really good at making political mistakes. they said there's no limit to how many times you can impeach somebody. there's no limit on how many times you can hit yourself in the head with a hammer, either, until you knock yourself out and that's what they're going to do but this is not about the ukraine phone call, what happened in july of last year. my gosh, they were talking impeachment before he was even sworn in in january of 2017. so let's be real clear. this is not about the president having done something wrong. this is about the democrats can't stand that he won instead of hillary in 2016 and now they want to prevent voters from even being able to re-elect the president, but their terrible
9:17 am
just childish tactics in all of this i believe is going to lead, here's my prediction, a landslide re-election for president trump in november of this year. stuart: okay. we'll take that. hold on, governor. i'm going to get more for you in just a moment. i want to go to hillary vaughn in iowa for us, just ahead of the caucuses. bernie, in the latest poll, is now pulling ahead in the race, right? reporter: that's right, stuart. the new nbc/"wall street journal" poll, sanders is in the lead at 27%, biden just behind him at 26%. in third, senator elizabeth warren at 15%. but interestingly, in fourth place, michael bloomberg, who is really not a big contender in the first two voting states, iowa and new hampshire. he's in fourth place right now in that national poll at 9%. the poll also found that 60% of all democratic primary voters have seen a bloomberg ad. that's a lot more than any other candidate. we have live coverage for you today starting with cavuto and "after the bell" all day from
9:18 am
the iowa caucuses. stuart: thank you very much. back to the governor. you know, i see mike bloomberg has 9% of the vote. i thought the democrats really hated the involvement of big dollars and big money in politics but now they seem to be grasping it. >> you're not suggesting hypocri hypocrisy, are you? i'm deeply offended that you would think such a thing. look, michael bloomberg has bought the top 200 feet of every radio and television station in the state of iowa. as far as that, for most of the country. and he's at 9%. he spent 90% of the advertising money. that's not saying a whole lot. the interesting thing is the bernie/biden matchup and they are basically tied in a dead heat. i think there's a real chance bernie could break loose and end up winning. stuart: you hope that. you hope that. i know you hope that's true, don't you? >> i do. yes, i do. stuart: by the way, you are always right. okay? just don't forget that. governor huckabee, it was a real
9:19 am
pleasure. thanks for being with us. see you soon. >> great to be with you. stuart: quick look at futures again. we open up the market on a friday morning with a modest downside move, pretty much across the board. now, what are we, two days away from the super bowl and we are talking about everyone's favorite, the commercials. we are taking a trip down memory lane and highlighting some of your favorites. we will do that next. ♪ ♪ through the at&t network, edge-to-edge intelligence gives you the power to see every corner of your growing business.

9:29 am
stuart: stock futures show a loss at the opening bell. yep, that's the virus. but okay, they're down but now look at amazon. we're looking at a $185 per share gain and that company, if it opens at that level, will be a trillion dollar company. okay. got a big day coming and need some help to cover it all. david dietze, susan li, lauren simonetti all together now. you can't beat this amazon juggernaut. >> i love amazon, their willingness to innovate. taking a page out of the costco book with their prime offer, now 125 million people have those cards plus of course, people want things instantly. went from two days to one day and it's resonating. a lot of retailers have down results over the holiday period. amazon was up. lauren: third party sellers, when they put their business on
9:30 am
amazon, their business goes way up so this is good for amazon, for other businesses and for consumers. so it has wide-ranging effects. susan: you will add $100 billion in market cap, equivalent to tesla and ibm. stuart: incredible. that is astonishing. here we go. 9:30 eastern time. we are going to open lower. the question is how much. right from the get-go we are down 130 points for the dow industrials, not all the dow stocks have opened at this point. minus 150 points. the s&p on the downside, too, i believe. the s&p is down just a fraction, actually, nothing like the half percentage point drop for the dow. then we have the nasdaq composite and that is up a quarter percent. that's amazon for you, isn't it. quick indicator here. the ten-year treasury yield down to 1.55%. lots of money going into treasuries. look at ibm real fast. chief ginny rometty is stepping down. the can sstock is up six bucks. let's get to amazon out of the
9:31 am
gate. all-time high. $2042. any idea how far this can go up? would you care to predict? >> let's remember yeah, it is important as to when you get in. it's over a trillion now, it was briefly over a trillion in september 2018. so timing is everything. i love the fact, you know, the aws, the cloud is the cash cow for the company. nevertheless, they are competing against alphabet, competing against microsoft, both of those i would not want to be competing against. stuart: i wouldn't buy it at $2042 per share. i would not do that. susan: the price target still is above $2,000. aws, the cloud services business that i mentioned to you, growth was 34%. it would be great for any other company except for aws which traditionally in the fourth quarter has 40% growth rate. i think physical stores, by the way, and yes, hindsight is 20/20, were they right to pay $13 billion for whole foods when physical store sales are down 1% from a year ago? but i guess it also transitions to the e-commerce base as well when you oversee 50% of the market. stuart: i just find it hard to
9:32 am
take issue with amazon which is the stock of this day. i do declare. leave it at that. let's move on. we are down 175, 170 points in the very very early going. look at tesla. elon musk says they are close to having an electric car with a 400 mile range. no charging infrastructure, though. is that a problem? lauren: it could be. but the average american drives about 30 miles a day. tesla already has a car with about a 370 mile range. so 400 sounds good, but does it really make a difference in people's decision to go buy an electric car? stuart: what's your point? susan: the average electric car has 200 mile range on one charge already, the model s has 370. best in class. you are going to get to 400 miles per charge, is that a big difference? and by the way, the middle part of the country doesn't have that charging infrastructure but the people that buy electric cars are in the coastal areas like new york and california. stuart: when you say best in class, are you making the judgment that the tesla electric
9:33 am
car is the best electric car out there? susan: no, i'm saying in terms of getting your miles per charge, it is the best in class. nothing comes close to a model s and they are, by the way, building their own batteries at the same plants as elon musk said if we are going to build any plants in the future it will be a dual battery and car maker. stuart: i was wrong on tesla. that thing has just about doubled in the space of the last four or five weeks, i think. lauren: it's got a $1,000 price target today. if it gets to 1,000, it goes into the s&p 500 which means more funds start to open it so that could very well happen at this rate in 2020. stuart: oh, that's a big deal. lauren: then you'll own it even if you don't want to. stuart: facebook, big drop yesterday because they got slowing revenue growth. they are down to $206 right now. that's not a very big dip. would you buy the dip? >> maybe. i mean, here's the thing. they have unique property. everyone's on instagram, of course facebook is a favorite. they are still growing tremendously. on the other hand, they've got a target on their back.
9:34 am
everyone in all the countries are looking at them for privacy violations, for manipulating political campaigns, that's going to be a headwind for them. we will see what happens. stuart: look at the big board. we are now down 200 points. here we are rattling on about tesla and amazon but look, the dow is off 200, back to 28,661. here's another negative indicator. the yield on the ten-year treasury, 1.54%. look, this is what happens when people are anxious. you put money into very safe treasury bonds, up goes the price, down goes the yield. so i could call that an adverse indicator, an indicator of anxiety. we are down at 154. look at gold. i would presume that's up a little. no, it's down two bucks. not the safe haven it used to be. oil, this is important. $51 a barrel. that's again the virus scare which is cutting down travel. lauren: it's a tale of two
9:35 am
markets. talking about tech being a bright spot but when you look at industrials, caterpillar guided down for the year. that stock is down 2%. copper industrial growth down 12 days in a row now. it's two different stories. susan: as you mentioned, oil on pace for its worst january since 2008 and this is on coronavirus global growth concerns and don't forget that oil majors like exxonmobil still account for 11% of the s&p weighting so when oil falls that drags the rest of the oil sector down along with it and the major markets as well. >> i'm actually hoping that all this weakness is due to the coronavirus because history shows that a year after these viruses stop, everything's back to normal and of course, all these vaccine makers are going up in price, a vaccine will be found. as long as it's just a vaccine, okay. if it reflects underlying global weakness, then that's a bigger issue. stuart: i got you. i do expect the price of gasoline to keep falling. the average nationally is $2.48 as we speak. by next week, it could be down at $2.45. we shall see. look at ibm.
9:36 am
the company sanamed the new ceo replacing rometty. remember when i interviewed her on this show? roll tape, please. ibm going straight down. their turnaround is not going well. she's been running the company for what, seven years? we will ask if this is the time for new leadership. that was october of last year and ginny rometty is out. would you buy ibm? >> yes, i would. stuart: you would? >> yeah. because i think that company has been undermanaged. i think she was not able to get the revenues up. i like the new person because he was the mastermind behind the red head acquisition. cloud is where it's at. susan: aren't they behind schedule with clouds? amazon web services already had a six-year head start on everybody else and basically is the size of the next three
9:37 am
competitors. ibm might be late to the game. $33 billion acquisition of red hat, largest in its 108-year history but new leadership has been called for for many years, right. because she basically saw 22 quarters of falling sales as ceo to head off -- to start off her tenure and the stock is down 25% since she took over in 2012. lauren: at the same time period, their stock is down 25%, microsoft is up 500% in that same exact time period. stuart: old tech, new tech. reinvented. lauren: cloud and no cloud. stuart: cloud and no cloud. very true. but you would buy it? >> absolutely. they were late in making the change. stuart: look at this. we are down 224 points now. i guess this is because of the virus and because of taking away the risk of stocks and going into the safety of bonds. that's the trend. that's quite a decline in the early going this friday morning. susan: the oil majors, exxonmobil shares hit a nine-year low this morning.
9:38 am
down close to 4%. stuart: exxon, nine-year low? susan: yeah. stuart: with oil at $51 a barrel -- susan: worst january since 2008 for oil pricing. that takes along the oil companies with it. stuart: i think the producer is trying to make the point by putting microsoft up there that i indeed did sell far too early. left a lot of money on the table. microsoft, $172. i'm not going to buy back into it. i have made my decision. am i an idiot? >> you know, microsoft, you know, the new leader is taking a low profile, executing well and i love at how you are taking market share in terms of the cloud up 62% year over year. great outlook. stuart: yeah, great. okay. move on. this story really, really surprised me. it's a new study and it says one quarter of all millenials have $100,000 in cash in savings.
9:39 am
i'm astonished by that. i thought they were supposed to be broke and ruined by student loans and whathave you. susan: i'm impressed because the millenial generation is supposed to be the poorest since the great depression. stuart: a quarter of them have a hundred grand in cash? get out of here. what have you got? >> the people who wanted to forgive all the student loans didn't want you to know that fact. now their cover has been blown. stuart: a quarter of them with $100,000 cash. they will vote for bernie sanders? you kidding me? lauren: millenials are close to 40 years old. think about it like that. stuart: okay. hey, david, you're all right today. thanks very much indeed. 9:40, almost. the dow is now down, okay, come back a tiny fraction. we are down 195 points. got it. we will follow it. president trump says he is confident democrats will flip on impeachment. watch this. >> i call it the impeachment hoax and that's what it is. it's a hoax. it should have never taken place, should have never been allowed to happen but i have great confidence in republican senators and probably some
9:40 am
democrats from what i understand. stuart: the opinion that i believe the impeachment deal is just about over. that will be the theme of my take coming up top of the next hour. the big game almost here. we had joe theismann with us. i will ask him his pick and what he thinks about those outrageous price of tickets. have you ever wondered how long it takes to assemble the halftime stage at the super bowl? we are going to tell you. might even show you, actually. back after this. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. who's the dummy now? whoof!

whoof! so get allstate where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. sorry! he's a baby! hi with the world'se first invisible trailer. invisible trailer? and it's not the trailer right next to us? this guy? you don't believe me? hop in. good lookin' pickup, i will say that. oh wow. silverado offers an optional technology package with up to 15 different views - including one enhanced view that makes your trailer appear invisible. wow. - that's pretty sweet. - that's cool. oooohh! that's awesome. where'd the trailer go? i love it. it's magic.
9:42 am
stuart: heading a little further south. we are down 215 now, three quarters of 1% on the dow. american airlines pilots are suing to halt china flights. they are suing because of the
9:43 am
coronavirus. they are going to court to stop those flights, they say. the stage for the super bowl halftime show can be assembled in six minutes flat. i didn't know that. kurt knudssen will tell us how they do it. tell me. >> welcome to miami. you know what, for 20 years they have been doing it the same way and they just get better and better and faster and faster. j-lo and shakira will experience this and they have been rehearsing since june at the location, the technical aspects of what we will all see at halftime coming up this sunday. it is remarkable that in six minutes flat, they take essentially the center of the field and immediately erect this enormous stage that is just like a concert stage anywhere else except they've got it down to a science where they do it super, super quick and they break it down just as quick. that entire window for the mechanical part of putting the halftime together is roughly 20
9:44 am
minutes. the stagecraft coming in about six minutes. you ever watched it, stuart? stuart: watched them put the stage up? i have watched the halftime show. but i have never seen them put the stage up like that. that's pretty good stuff. i've got to ask you. all this gambling on the big game, billions and billions and billions of dollars, i think it's going to be done largely on this, on a phone. i think it's going to be done in bars or at home so you watch the game on tv and you gamble on your phone. it's a new way of super bowling, isn't it? >> it is. it is. you know, this is the only second super bowl since the supreme court knocked down a law which essentially, it's legal on a federal basis but some states still call it illegal so it's in this murky water. some states say we are still cool with this, you can go ahead and do it. nonetheless, you find that people are doing it all over the country, all over the world. draftkings is one of the leaders and they have also the odds that are out there.
9:45 am
people are even betting on this, stuart. they are betting on how many times somebody will mention that one of the teams has a female coach. how many times in the game is that going to come up. it's not about who wins and loses, either. it's about a point spread because they want people from both sides of each team to still gamble so right now, there's a 1.5 point spread. i think it favors the chiefs. who do you want? stuart: i have no idea. i'm not going into this at all. i'm just interested to see you there in miami. it looks to me like half of fox news is down there in miami, which is appropriate, since the super bowl is on fox. okay. kurt, have a good time, son. see you soon. now, susan has the list of the biggest bets placed so far. susan: yeah. so as i mentioned to you, $7 billion will be wagered on this super bowl. that's a record. the largest bet is $1 million that's being placed on the 49ers at the mgm mirage.
9:46 am
the line is plus 120. that means if you bet $1 million and the 49ers do win, he gets $1.2 million back on $1 million. so he walks away -- i don't know if it's a he or she but the person walks away with $1.2 million. as you see on that list, you have $684,000, $550,000. a lot of people are placing these huge number of bets on and as i mentioned to you, you know, right now it's a very tight game with the chiefs i think ahead plus 1 1/2 points. stuart: who have you got? susan: i would go with mahomes but that line is not worth the bet. basically it's like a flat rate, isn't it? stuart: you don't win very much and you take enormous risk. susan: exactly. probably not worth it. stuart: like selling microsoft early. susan: it's not your thing, apparently. stuart: who you got there, lauren? lauren: i'm going with the chiefs but i'm not placing any money. stuart: why the chiefs? lauren: because i like the family that owns the chiefs. good family. and it's been 50 years since they have won a super bowl.
9:47 am
all right? and i like patrick mahomes, too. stuart: we are counting down the top five super bowl ads all throughout the show. lauren is here. oh, yeah, wait a minute. you've got number five? is that now? lauren: number five is, you know what number five is? stuart: have you got number five? lauren: number five is larry bird and michael jordan because i love that sports commercial, one of my favorites. basically they were trying to compete on who can shoot the basketball from different places. shall we listen? stuart: let's see it. >> off the floor, nothing but net. >> off the wall, nothing but net. >> off the expressway, over the river, off the billboard, through the window, off the wall, nothing but net. lauren: one of my favorites. no dunking i think was the
9:48 am
iconic line because at the time i think michael jordan was slam-dunk champion and larry bird probably couldn't get as much air but probably in a three-point competition larry bird might, might win. but mcdonald's, that was one of the iconic ones for the golden arches. stuart: i do hope that one of the top five is mean joe green when he chucked his jersey to the young follower. we shall see. but that was before you were born. susan: no, no, no. stuart: millions will miss work on monday right after the big game. how many? lauren: 17 million people. but it goes to the argument that you always make, well, should super bowl be on a saturday or should monday be a holiday. the thing that bothers me about this, if you want to call in sick ahead of time, fine, about five million people do, but one and a half million people don't show up to work, no nothing. they just don't come in. could you imagine doing that? being a no-show? ghosting the office? because you watched the super bowl? susan: anybody want to bet if
9:49 am
our producer shows up on monday? stuart: which producer? susan: you know which one. he's called in sick before. stuart: he will be on. he will be with us. he will be with us. he says he was legitimately sick. i believe you. i won't even use your name. check the dow 30, because overall, we are down 235 points, about three-quarters of the dow are in the red. we are back to 28,624. question, is tom brady leaving? the cryptic clue that has everyone talking. that's apparently the clue. i will ask joe theismann what he thinks. oh, this is a tease. we'll be right back. this is the age of expression. everyone has something to say. but in a world full of talking, shouldn't somebody be listening? so. let's talk. we are edward jones. with one financial advisor per office, we're built for hearing what's important to you.

9:54 am
super bowl weekend. stuart: yes. it's super bowl weekend, almost. now, very expensive tickets and people are buying them. what does that tell you about the state of the economy? >> well, i think first of all, the economy is doing very well and people do have the ability to afford it but the other thing is, you look at it's supply and demand. it's a smaller stadium, the stadium only seats about 65,000. it's been 50 years since kansas city has been here. it's been a number of years since san francisco has been here. so you wind up with a situation where people want to capture the moment, they want to be there for that moment. if the chiefs are able to win, i mean, this is going to be monumental for the city of kansas city. i listened to you guys talking about people missing work. i think kansas city will be shut down entirely, and 1.7 million people will all be in kansas city. it may even happen the same way in san francisco. people have traveled a long way for a very special moment and the weather is fantastic. it's going to be a beautiful day on sunday. stuart: can you explain something to me? there's this cryptic tweet that has sports fans wondering what
9:55 am
is next, that's brady, right? all he did was send out that picture and we are all supposed to guess about is he leaving the stadium, leaving the patriots, leaving football, what do you think, joe? >> oh, that cagey fox. what he's going to do, i think what he's doing is taking one last look at the stadium because i believe he will be back in new england next year. he will be compensated fairly. he hasn't been compensated to the level of some of these other people who haven't proven near as much. i believe he will sign a two-year deal, it will be a one-year deal with a one-year option by the patriots and tom will ride off into the sunset and we may well be talking about him one last time as he puts on a seventh super bowl ring. stuart: how about that. i've got 30 seconds and you have to tell me who's your pick for the big game? >> i like the kansas city chiefs in this game, because i believe their defense stepped up two weeks ago against tennessee, they will have to do the same thing against the 49ers in this game. if they can do that, patrick
9:56 am
mahomes will get a ring. kansas city will get a championship after playing in the super bowl after 50 years. by the way, andy reid's like santa claus. you just got to love him. stuart: catch the game on fox. no place else. fox, fox, fox. joe theismann, always a pleasure. see you again soon. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: sure thing. look, let's get serious. i believe, my opinion is that the impeachment circus is just about over. a key republican senator says he's not going to vote to hear from witnesses. that's quite a blow to the democrats. and it is a new era for the brits. they will officially leave the european union tonight. we have a live report and nigel farage joins us to weigh in. more "varney" coming your way next. ♪

>> we are waiting for the latest numbers on consumer sentiment. when we get them you will get
10:00 am
about 15 seconds time and we will see if there's any impact on the market. as we go into those numbers and head towards 10:00 o'clock we are down, the market is down over 200 points, that is about three quarters of 1%. and the big negative is again the virus. spreading, not contained, it hurts, it hurts china's economy and may well hurt our economy too. consumer sentiment, i think we have a number. >> it is very strong 99.8 for the month of january. that equals a seven-month high in december. even a little bit stronger, this is very good for the u.s. economy which is powered by the consumer of two thirds of the u.s. economy and i think amazon results told you what to record sales over the holiday. heading into 2020 consumer continues to spend and be stro strong. >> that is a very good number and a very interesting trend as we start the new year, maybe the economy is strengthening and it might in the future if sentiment
10:01 am
is so strong. check the big board, no reaction to this number. we are down 240 points as we speak. now this. >> let's wrap this up shall we, the drive to throw president trump out of office is just about done. good. impeachment has become a national embarrassment. but three years the left has dragged our country through the dirt for one simple reason. they lost the 2016 election to a man they cannot stand. hatred and contempt should not be the guiding force that any political party, the democrats, they cannot help themselves. adam schiff, california represents los angeles, hollywood, speaker below see, hollywood, san francisco, nadler, new york city, is impeachment brought to you by the coastal elites and grossly unfair from the get go. secret depositions. 18 witnesses. what is it all about, a phone
10:02 am
call, as a speaker pelosi gleefully observed, he's impeached forever. look for the democrats are now. in congress, a three year get him out of office failure. their hate filled tantrum has got them nowhere. and in the coming election, they are split between socialist, warren and bernie and aging gap prone joe biden in amman was $60 billion mike bloomberg doing his best to buy the nomination. gee i thought democrats hated big money and politics. add it all up, this is an un-litigated disaster for the elites. just like in britain. where the elites were dead set against leaving europe, they lost, britain is out. here they were dead set against trump, they lost, trump is still in and looking better and better for a second term. listen to this. >> there is no limit on the number of times the senate can
10:03 am
vote to convict a president, no number limit how much they can impeach. >> this president is impeached for life regardless of any gamesmanship on the mitch mcconnell. there is nothing the senate can do that can ever erase that. >> we will not stop, whether or not that leads to another impeachment activity, i don't know but i know we must continue with the work that are constituents have elected us to come to congress to do. >> impeachment now and impeachment forever let's think what tammy bruce think about that she should be fired up on a friday morning. >> this is really no different. the irony, i don't think the democrats have replied that that you've been impeached. that this entire activity has exposed them to the american people about what they really been about. interesting with representative waters, they did win vaguely in the midterm and 18 but they ran on the issue didn't they.
10:04 am
they told constituents and all those cities in those districts that they were going to work on the issues, on jobs, working across the aisle with the president and they lied. this is all they got to show for. we are moving into fabric 2020 election year, state of the union address next week and this is all they did and they did not even do it well. they did and they failed and they did and they harm themselves. that is classic when it comes to what the democrats are doing. the president whether impeachment or the coronavirus, this economy is so strong, what he has done has allowed the nation to withstand any black swan, any surprising event that maybe would've crushed and maybe will have a dramatic impact on china but our markets, our economy, our free market will be able to withstand something like the virus and things like impeachment because of the strength of the president, that will never be over in this event will be historically a
10:05 am
remarkable damaged mark for the democratic party. i think overall. >> i am with you on this but i'm going to segue to the market because we just dropped 300 points now, down 300 pre-goldman sachs is saying that this will shave .4% off of our gdp. is that right, but they do say it'll bounce back again later. but that is taking the doubt. i want to segue to that we are down 1% about 300-point. >> chicago manufacturing activity came out for january, the weakest since 2015. that is when we got the additional. >> let's wrap this up. we have a strong consumer sentiment. >> the highest since 2019. >> in a week manufacturing sector indicator from chicago we are down 300-point. >> and remember usmca, an element that has just been
10:06 am
signed and we are going to see some kind of an impact with the continuous work of the president. >> at the moment the 300-point is a virus. the president held -- where are you, pick a camera. they are all mine. the president held a big rally in iowa last night, he is not concerned about impeachment he's running at the top of his game watch this. >> why am i not worry, i should be worried. remember nixon was like a dark. , a very dark. , you think about it and with clinton it was not good. and they say with johnson, it was a long time ago, none of us remember but they say it was a very dark period. this is a happy period for us. it is a happy. because we call this impeachment light. >> that the exact opposite from what you see in the media, it's all doom and gloom and he says it's happy. >> it is because what we have got here with today's
10:07 am
communication is is make clear what the intentions were here. this is not a crisis for the country. it was more politics, it was what we were saying in 2016 that we want work on the issue, we wanted our lives to get better. and of course i think it is the president's attitude and the fact that he is able to communicate directly to people over the heads of the media to make sure the people know what's going on, the work that he is doing and also this is a man for the first time ever, we have seen a president who is so transparent and consistent and who he is, what his attitude has been. you don't see this man changing or have to wonder if he's telling the truth. you might not like it necessarily all the time but you know that you can trust him, that he is telling you honestly what the situation is. >> tammy hold on for a second we gotta get back to the market, still holding with a- 300 as we speak. down 1%. i should point out that the dow, s&p and nasdaq are still positive for the month of
10:08 am
january. still just positive. rebecca walster is with us with walter asked under management will come back to the program print you have been consistently bullish for the two or three years you have been on the program. what do you say to the drop now, down 300. >> it is totally the coronavirus obviously and what the impact will be on the energy sector and all the manufacturing. i flew the redeye back to california which is the gateway to the u.s. from china. and i was the only one wearing a mask in the airport. i was like does not anyone else know what's going on. the investors know, we know that follow the market maybe i'm in a bubble. >> the thing is we don't know what the impact on our economy is going to be on the chinese economy because we don't know when it's going to be contained, how far it spreads, how many cases will be reviewed. i think the market is reacting to what we do not know. >> that is right.
10:09 am
the uncertainty. if we do a couple of things, usmca, phase i china, brexit happen today in the uk and boris johnson is going to talk tonight and that's an opportunity for trade agreement with the uk. if they get the wall we situation, i am excited for this year as soon as the impeachment stuff is put to bed i think investors -- they already discounted that and we are looking forward to getting the coronavirus cap down and consumer sentiment. >> we still got the good stuff from usmc still to come. i don't think the feds are going to do anything that would upset the apple cart. >> of course not. we basically found out -- like they say like they always say, we will always reassess, that is their job, they are always reassessing and looking indicators. there on a pause and were happy with that and we just need to get to the coronavirus and enjoy the game on sunday and get to this part of it.

10:15 am
yesterday was confirmed there was the first human to human transmission of coronavirus here in the u.s. so people are taking precaution, the state department is warning do not travel to china, if you are in china, come back. >> i think it's a appropriate to bring in michael who is the center infectious disease research and policy. michael we have been reading your stuff and you say this epidemic will get a lot worse. tell us all about it. >> thank you for having me on. first of all let me just say that i've been involved with investigating the previous major coronavirus outbreaks both sars and mers. and really reflected on what happened now in that regard. what we see in the last three or four weeks has been very rapid spread of the virus throughout all of china. all of the ministry of districts and although the case numbers as you decided artificially around 10000, that is limited by the number of people who have access
10:16 am
to the new test. when in fact we believe the cases are in the many thousands in china. the emergency rooms are overflowing, the healthcare system is on the edge of imploding. and on top of that the virus is now in six short weeks since it started as a small outbreak in wuhan, china is now in 20 countries. it is acting in terms of transmission out of a influenza virus. which means once it starts to spread there is no stopping it until it decides it is done. >> you cannot contain it in other words. china and other countries are effort being a ring fence of the thing but you said they cannot do it. >> we are not going to contain this. early on we thought if it was more like sars and mers virus that we could ring around the case to make sure the context of the case were followed up and we do not have transmission. this is acting differently.
10:17 am
as much as it's going to transmit to many more people than the other one did, we also have to look at the severity. i think one of the things that challenges us is what it will do to healthcare through out the world. on average flu year which in itself is bad about .1% to get into the united states die from it. right now we are seeing a% of people dying in china is probably somewhere around 2% or 20 times higher than we would see with average flu year. we have to anticipate this is going to happen right here in the united states as well as throughout the world. this has a leg on it that will last for a number of months and one day it'll be interesting because we will all the rest of the world probably be much like china is right now. >> can i just ask, person-to-person contact, physical contact, you touch a person who has the virus and can
10:18 am
you get it or canopy in the wind or in the air in a room for example pre-do we know this yet. >> all the information we have support transmitted by the respiratory route meaning breathing air of someone near you. in that regard, think about seasonal influenza. you reported on that many of times. as we do around the world. none of us are in a position to stop winter influenza when it starts to sweep across the country. it is because of the respiratory contact. the other thing that is happening, we have evidence that cases can actually shed the virus, breathe it out when they're symptomatic. they are not yet cases and don't have symptoms so you and i would not even know that they are potentially infected. what is going to happen here, we have our first cases in the country like the united states where we have a recognize exposer to china. but what we've seen with influenza is a contact, the
10:19 am
contact to the contact who is in china will be the big problem for us in the united states. our message is local hospitals, healthcare systems, need to get ready in fact we could see a really bad influenza season like illness sweep through the united states for the month ahead. that will happen worldwide. >> you are describing a very difficult and dangerous situation. i take it you believe it would have a huge impact on international commerce. >> i think part of it is what we don't want to do is overreact and be panicky. i think the chinese and shutting down the 65 million people in wuhan was really not helpful. that in fact we knew 5 million people in wuhan literally floo d the city in several days before the lockdown occurred. part of it because of the holiday but part of it because they fled. we have to keep our wits about it. it is going to be a challenge and will stress our healthcare systems. but in fact we will get through this and that's the important
10:20 am
message. but yes it could very definitely impact commerce and trade as we know it. >> this is valuable information and we really appreciate you coming on board to share it with us. i hope you can join us in the succeeding weeks for a progress report. michael osterholm thank you. the dow industrials still down 300 points in the virus is to blame for that selloff. a totally different subject, we are counting down the top five super bowl ads, number five with bird versus jordan, the mcdonald's commercial,. >> that was number four. >> the next one we are going to show you is a soft drink commercial. i don't know which one but we will show you. >> i do ♪ ♪

11:01 am
president trump. in their urge to slime him, they painted a picture of americans, you and i, as unhappy, bigoted, stupid and bad. the jig is up, though. president trump has won on virtually all fronts. impeachment has become an embarrassment for the democrats. the economy is a triumph of tax and red tape reform. iran's in a box, china's in trouble and with nine months to the election, the president's opponents are bitterly divided and frankly misguided. somebody should tell them that massive tax increases and the fantasy land of the green new deal would be an utter disaster. 276 days to the election. president trump is riding high. >> but i never forgot when cnn fake news and all these people, they go around interviewing the farmers, they could never find anyone saying bad about trump and now you people are going to make so much money, you're not going to do -- just, you know
11:02 am
what, relax, take it easy, put it away, enjoy your life but you're going to make a lot of money. you're going to make a lot of money. stuart: relax, sit back, you're going to make a lot of money. he says it all the time. susan: you have made a lot of money in the stock market. best year last year in six years, going back six years. your 401(k)s are looking pretty healthy. stuart: 55 million americans with a 401(k), 35 million with an i.r.a. all of them have done well. sit back and be happy. lauren: you have to question what brings people to the polls to vote. is it enthusiasm for a candidate, people love or hate donald trump, or is it anxiety? are they anxious about something? so without a clear winner in the democratic party, there's a lot of enthusiasm for the president. stuart: there is. it's palpable, almost. get outside of new york, los angeles, san francisco and couple of the other places around the world, get out -- get into the real world where americans are concerned about their everyday lives, and their
11:03 am
everyday lives are doing pretty good, there's real enthusiasm for this president. now, when i drive up country, upstate, i should say, up country, that's an expression from africa when i lived there, no, upstate, you see trump signs all over the place. you see trump bumper stickers all over the place. this is new york which is solidly democrat. lauren: we saw them in south jersey the other day, in wildwood, new jersey. susan: let me bring up the a.p. poll. 66% of democrats would say how they characterize heading into this 2020 vote is anxiety, whereas 46% of republicans have enthusiasm. however, it should be noted that anxiety actually gets people to the polls more than enthusiasm does, according to the a.p. and this poll that came out. you know, i'm just reporting some of the numbers and the facts here. you can take what you want from it. lauren: democrats are enthused to get trump out of office. susan: that's the other side of the coin. stuart: back to your money. i'm looking at amazon.
11:04 am
i am going to call them the stock of the day, the month and possibly the year. they reported their earnings yesterday. the stock has gone straight up. right now it's up $172, 9.2%. but susan, they had great numbers. how good? susan: let me ask you this. if amazon was a dow component, it would add 1,000 points to the index with this rally we are seeing just today. stuart: you're kidding. susan: yes. it would push the index closer to 30,000. not the selloff we're looking at. stuart: how does that work? susan: how does that work? stuart: if amazon was a dow stock -- susan: it's weighted. there are 30 stocks that make up the dow. for every $1 move that's seven points gain on to the index. stuart: okay. susan: or the other way around. $7 means one point. there you go. stuart: extraordinary. i did not know that. hold on a second. i'm interested in jeff bezos' net worth. that spiked with the stock. have you got any numbers on this? lauren: it spiked by almost $13
11:05 am
billion to $129 billion and get this, since the president is in office, jeff bezos, who owns the controversial and critical of donald trump "the washington post" has added more to his personal fortune than anyone else. so bezos' wealth has gone up since president trump is in office, now at $129 billion after that earnings report. stuart: my, oh, my. i think it's time to bring in steve hilton. i'm going to go back to the rally because steve was at the big rally in iowa last night. we have run some clips from his speech. he seemed to really wow that crowd. take us back, take us inside the rally last night. what was the atmosphere? >> well, you know, the thing is that you've just got this incredible connection between this president and the people who support him, that it's such a big part i think of keeping him, reminding him of what he's there to do, which is to bring change, deliver those promises and above all, get the economy going. it's those results i think that really show people when they see
11:06 am
him, you know, we put our trust in you back then in 2016, everyone said he's an outsider, he's never done it before, the democrats were vicious to him, the media was vicious to him. they put their trust in him. now he's really delivered and more, and i think that's what you're seeing with this incredible reaction. we put faith in him, he put faith in us and it's working. stuart: i understand that the rnc, republican national committee, brought in $26 million just in the month of december. was that just because of impeachment? did they raise funds on the back of impeachment? >> yes. i think this whole impeachment farce, that's been going on now for months, if you think about it, back to when they first started doing it in the house but of course, really for years, because they have been planning it for years, i always thought it would end up being a positive for the president. you've seen it in that fundraising because it's reminded people what the stakes are in 2020, because the establishment has been out to get this president from day one,
11:07 am
and they really want to do that again in 2020. the people who put him there don't want to see that. they want to see the good times keep going. that's why i think this whole process in the end will go and benefit the president. stuart: i see this contrast emerging all the time. impeachment is just about done, any moment now, it's done. meanwhile, the economy is roaring and president trump is riding high. what a contrast between the two here. >> exactly, stuart. this is a theme i have been hitting on my show for weeks now, which is prompt results versus democrats' stunts. that's all they've got. the interesting thing about the results is obviously we focus on the economy. that is foundational. but he's winning results right across the board, in foreign policy, with iran, with the trade deals, with china, conservative judges, wherever you look, there are real policy achievements and even one of those areas on its own would be a fantastic result for any president. to get all of that done across the board on policy issues is

i call it the impeachment hoax and that's what it is. it's a hoax. it should have never taken place, should have never been allowed to happen but i have great confidence in republican senators and probably some democrats from what i understand. stuart: okay. let's get right to it and bring in pete hegseth. he joins me now, "fox & friends
11:13 am
weekend" cohost. pete, it seems to me, this is not wishful thinking, but it does seem to me honestly and objecti objectively that this whole impeachment thing could be over because i don't think the democrats have the votes to force witnesses. what -- how do you see it? >> i think you're right. that seems to be how it feels. it seems like republicans are going to be able to close ranks. there was this last-minute bombshell like in kavanaugh with the whole bolton thing, the democrats tried to use to change the narrative. seems they will close ranks, minus romney. forget about romney. he hates the president so much he will vote against him no matter what. that doesn't mean it's over. that's the thing that's incredible about this whole thing. it feels like it's never going to end even when the vote is over to acquit him, because the democrats will keep going. stuart: hold on a second. i think it will be a political disaster if the democrats try to keep on going and going and going and sliming him. >> i think you're right but can they learn? their hatred is so deep.

if he gets re-elected i think they try to find new nuggets to their own detriment. stuart: okay. now, you are in miami. i think the buzz for the super bowl this year is bigger and louder than i have ever heard it before, and i think that's because football's coming back after the kneeling problem. >> i think you're right. first of all, it's on fox. we do the super bowl right. i think you're right, the nfl has turned a corner on that. they have embraced patriotism. they tried to push that aside. no teams have brought in kaepernick and i think that's because they don't want the sideshow that comes with that controversy. you also have a new young generation coming up, a guy like patrick mahomes keeps exciting fans and is turning a page with generational talent also. you have the two best teams in football legitimately playing in the super bowl with like a one-point spread. this is going to be a great game as well. add that all together and football's about as big as it's ever been in this country. no doubt about it. stuart: pete, we have a clip of your favorite super bowl ad.

11:24 am
generation takes a little heat for being a bit behind but as far as savings go, they are pretty good because on average, they started saving at 24 years old, gen-x, which i am one, started saving at 30. baby boomers, 35. they are ahead in that way. 25% of millenials have more than $100,000 in savings. stuart: they started saving early? deirdre: they started saving of any group, earlier than any other. earlier than gen-x, earlier than baby boomers. so you got to tip your hat to millenials for that. one thing i will say, according to this survey, transunion posted some numbers and bank of america just kind of doing a cross-check on who has what money where, transunion says millenials want $1 million in the bank, in other words, to feel financially secure. they have a pretty high bar. interestingly enough, from a cultural perspective, you know, they enter the work force, they saw their parents lose a lot of money in the recession so they are more conservative with their money, whereas the group that
11:25 am
followed them, ages 8 to 23, they are more comfortable with financial services. they are getting out now. life is pretty good. historical low for unemployment so they are more willing to take on debt, get a car loan, get a credit card. millenials are saving. stuart: your entire report was good news. deirdre: there you go. especially if you are a millenial. have your millenial kids take you out to dinner. stuart: reverse my opinion of an entire generation. new numbers show bernie sanders in a virtual tie with joe biden. now, this is nationally. this is not just the caucuses in iowa. no, this is nationally. almost a dead heat. coming up, we are talking to iowa senator joni ernst. her state votes or caucuses monday. i want to know are they going to support a socialist. of course, she's a republican so i think she's got an opinion on that. and yes, the impeachment trial may end tonight or tomorrow morning. will that truly be the end of it? the democrats have promised to

11:31 am
and the interesting thing, though, is yes, bernie is a socialist but let's all be honest, the entire democratic party, they tend to be trending that direction towards socialism so we've got socialism on the march right in the state of iowa and we will see that again in many of the other primaries in the future. stuart: you want this. you like this. because you think you can beat him easily. >> well, i do think that if we have a candidate bernie sanders, i think that makes our party and our policy platform look much more appealing to americans. they want to know that they can work hard and see results. they don't want the government taking over their industry and their lives, and that's what socialism would do. stuart: senator, we have been saying all morning that there's going to be a vote pretty soon on allowing witnesses or no witnesses. we think, having read the tea leaves, we think there's going to be no witnesses, which means
11:32 am
this thing could be over tonight or tomorrow morning. can you bring us up to speed on this? >> yes, there has been a lot of debate over the last several weeks on whether we need additional witnesses, additional documents, and i would state that at this point, i don't believe there is a need to have additional witnesses. i think that the house managers in their own words, they had overwhelming evidence and they have proven their case. is that true, we don't need to extend this any longer. iowans want us to get back to work. they really want to see us working on transportation, lowering health care costs, the things that really matter in their everyday lives. they see the impeachment as a farce. look, the left has wanted to impeach this president since the very day after his election. i think it's time that we move on and i think the greater body in the senate will agree. stuart: i think, however, the democrats, regardless of this vote, will want to extend impeachment proceedings forever. just take a look at this quick
11:33 am
tape, please, senator. >> there is no limit on the number of times the senate can vote to convict or not a president, no limit to the number of times the house can vote to impeach or not a president. >> this president is impeached for life, regardless of any gamesmanship on the part of mitch mcconnell. there's nothing the senate can do that can ever erase that. >> we will not stop. whether or not that leads to another impeachment activity, i don't know. but i know we must continue with the work that our constituents have elected us to come to congress to do. stuart: senator, it's not over, is it? >> well, it may not be over for them but i don't believe that our constituents elected us to continually vote on impeachment of the president. i think that that is laughable. again, i think americans want us to focus on the economy and really pushing them to do better in their daily earnings and their daily lives.
11:34 am
i think there is so much more at stake here than impeachment. again, i think there's a lot of work that we need to be doing as a senate and as a congress. stuart: i know the work that you're doing to get rid of wasteful spending. can you update us on something which i believe you call is it welfare for politicians? tell us more. >> the elect act. this, because we are in a presidential caucus season and the election season, there is a fund that is established and is a tax check-off, our taxpayers pay for it, that provides a fund of dollars for presidents to actually run their campaigns with. if they choose to do so. and listen, the last time that anyone that took part in this fund was actually elected was clear back in the george bush election campaign and i think the latest person to take advantage was jill stein. she was part of the green party
11:35 am
in 2016. it's just a slush fund for presidential candidates. i think it's time that we eliminate that. you would save over $300 million that exists in that fund for better use like reducing our deficit. stuart: yeah, get rid of that. senator joni ernst, republican, iowa, thanks for joining us. always appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: okay. well, the time has finally come. time for the number one super bowl ad of all time. drum roll, please. lauren: the mvp of super bowl ads. go back to 1984 and the mac computer. >> on january 24th, apple computer will introduce macintosh and you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984.

11:37 am
saturday? >> wow. you know, i didn't even hear about this movement. i swear. this is the first time i've been hearing about it. the first time i've heard about it. so it makes sense, totally makes sense, and i mean, i wouldn't be against it. you know, the wait is already so long, the two weeks prior to it. i mean, just escalates every single day and everyone's just always waiting for the game. if it happens, it happens. i'm not against it. lauren: instant reaction from the gronk. you know, 17 million americans will be calling out sick on monday. 11 million already have vacation days planned for monday. basically they know they will be off monday. one and a half million employees actually ghost their employers. stuart: i'm going to be here. are you? susan: i definitely will be here. lauren: you kidding me? i'll be here. you could make the argument that businesses would do better if people could stay there longer without having to worry about waking up for work. you would drink more at a bar,
11:38 am
for instance, or wherever you are for the game. susan: i have a bet for you. over/under, whether or not justin will be in on monday. stuart: justin will be in on monday. that's our executive producer. he may be here on monday. susan: i think it's an over. stuart: avid football fan. oh, he's going to be here. we will check him out on monday morning. wonder what he looks like on monday morning. we get in at 4:00, by the way. how about this one. tom brady, you know he posted this tweet, dramatic photo walking out of a stadium. maybe that's where the patriots play. fans are up in arms, thinking he might retire. here's what joe theismann had to say about it earlier on this show today. roll tape. >> i think what he's doing is he's taking one last look at the stadium because i believe he'll be back in new england next year. he'll be compensated fairly. he hasn't been compensated to
11:39 am
the level of some of these other people who haven't proven near as much. i believe he will sign a two-year deal. it will be a one-year deal with one-year option by the patriots and tom will ride off into the sunset and we may well be talking about him one last time as he puts on his seventh super bowl ring. stuart: i should have asked him because that was a live interview on the show about an hour ago, i should have asked him okay, what will brady sign for, how much money would it take to bring him back. susan: he makes $35 million now. stuart: does he? susan: yeah. in fact, he took a pay cut so they could sign better players. he's going to san diego or elsewhere, they will pay him a lot of money, i suspect. stuart: more than $35 million is a lot of money, true. better have a quick check of ibm. their chief executive, ginny rometty announced she's stepping down. she's been in that role for eight years. she will be replaced by one of ibm's top cloud people. that takes place on april 6th. i kind of hinted at this some time ago.

soul, if you like, of this country. of course, that's been nigel farage's argument for so many years now. i can only imagine what he's thinking at this moment. interesting, we have an elvis impersonator over here singing elvis songs with brexit lyrics which is classic. we have had conga lines, all sorts of eccentrics showing up today. as 11:00 approaches, that day, that time, means the uk is out and now the real negotiations begin to get a new trade deal with the eu and there are those that say you know what, how about a hard brexit, get out, we can do very well by ourselves. we haven't got rid of that term yet. tell nigel he needs to come over this side. stuart: i will tell him right now. i'm sure alcohol's got something to do with the celebration right there. all right, ash. let's make way for mr. brexit himself, his name is nigel farage. he's organized a huge brexit celebration to mark this great occasion. take your victory lap, nigel. >> yeah.
11:46 am
they are congregating already, as ashley has said. i have seen people for the last few hours gathering in big party mood and yes, union jacks. you know why? that's our national flag. we don't want the european star-spangled banner. we don't want their anthem. we don't want their president. we don't want their police force, their army. we in six hours time are going to be free of it and it is because of that. this is the greatest day in modern british history. it's that big. stuart: i've got to refer you to this headline in the "new york times," the business section. i will read it for you. brexit is finally happening, now things are going to get really complicated. okay. the elites don't like this. what's your point of view? >> no, of course there will always be those that try to make things difficult for us. look, what happens at 11:00uk time tonight is we pass the point of no return. we are leaving this political union, we will never, ever go back. sure, there's details to sort
11:47 am
out and yes, it matters, but we now go into this next phase with a renewed confidence about who we are, about our friends around the world, of course including the usa, and the globalists like the "new york times" or cnn or all these people, they will always try and make out that it's difficult but i am already sensing just a month into this year a new sense of optimism in this country. a new belief that we can govern ourselves, be a great people and reach out to our friends. i've never felt more bullish about britain than i feel right now. stuart: how long will it take to get a trade deal with america? >> well, that depends a bit on what happens with the european negotiations. remember that australia negotiated a deal with america ten months end-to-end of hard negotiations. all these lies we get that it takes ten years to do a trade deal, it's all rubbish. everything in life is about will. if you want to do things, you can do them. stuart: we like the sound of
