lauren: just saying. ashley: nasdaq turned negative, unlike the dow. big tech. stuart: 33.33, just a moment there. lauren, thank you very much. showed me how to do the math. ash, you're all right. ash ash thank you. stuart: stuart, it is yours. neil: big catalyst for a lot of this, strength what is happening in the private sector arena. in other words, what is happening in regular corporate america, leaving aside manufacturing. that had an unexpected up tick. strongest up tick we've seen better part of five years. more on that in a second. all of this is ignoring the d.c. partisanship clearly on full display. i won't shake your hand, so you will rip up my speech. to blake burman who has done a lot worse. he is outside of the white house. reporter: neil, you didn't even have to listen to the state of the union address to question how anything might get done in washington here over the next year. all you had to dos exactly

before it and directly right after it, sort of question how are these two sides going to get together? however president trump did lay out several items hopes that democrats and republicans can work together, including reducing prescription drug prices, which is often talked about here in washington. putting together an infrastructure package. increasing internet access across the country. making paid family leave more commonplace. on "fox & friends" this morning the vice president pointed to those top two. >> we can work on health care. which can, we can work on infrastructure. the question is, do the democrats actually want to get anything done for the american people? or did last night simply signal that they want to fight it out in the election. we're prepared to do either one. reporter: this morning i asked kellyanne conway why americans should feel confident that solutions will come out of washington? she suggested that some democrats in swing districts

might want to beef up their resume' heading into november. >> yes. she is speaker of the house but she has many rank-and-file including 31 democratic members who won in 2018 districts that trump and pence carried in 2016. so if i were them i would be getting very nervous about my lack of delivery, my production. where are my results? reporter: neil, nancy pelosi revealed yesterday she has not spoken to president trump since october. that is more than three months ago. even though you got members of the white house talking about how democrats need to come together to work with the white house on certain issues. the telephone is a two-way street. of course the president can pick up the phone and talk to nancy pelosi. she could pick up the phone and call the president as well. but pelosi said, that hasn't happened in months. after what we saw last night, you got to question if that will happen anytime soon. neil? neil: insultingly childish on

both sides. grow up. we're awaiting final iowa results by the way. seven out of 10 votes in. drip by drip process. candidates are shifting focus not surprisingly to new hampshire where bernie sanders appears, i stress appears to be widening the lead in a new poll. new hampshire is simple up or down popular vote contest. not this caucus byzantine rules confused iowa and pretty much theories of country. fox news correspondent mike tobin has the latest. reporter: hale, neil, the chairman of the democratic national committee happened here in iowa should never happen again. as you mentioned the campaigns have all who have moved on to new hampshire. there is nothing else they can do here in iowa. with 71% of the precincts having been counted thus far, the one scorecard really counts is the state delegate equivalent. if you look at numbers, pete buttigieg still maintain as lead. bernie sanders is in second. elizabeth warren, third place.

>> these are hard times for our country. the question is, what are we going do to? we can be discouraged but you're here and the way i see it, i look where we are. we have done iowa. we've got new hampshire in just a week. are we ready to do new hampshire? [cheers and applause] reporter: problem with the caucus, blamed on new phone app the chairman of iowa democratic party it recorded results fine but malfunctioned when it came time to transsubmit the data. it is backed up on paper. he promises the final result will be slow but accurate. >> the reporting of the results and circumstances surrounding the 2020 iowa democratic party caucuses were unacceptable. as chair of the party i apologize deeply for this. reporter: troy price says every

four years this nation has conversation about iowa first-in-the-nation status. no doubt that will happen again. indeed it is. neil? neil: do you know, have they indicated, i know this is slow process by the time we get our full count from iowa will we be done with new hampshire? what's the deal? reporter: they're not really communicating much. a lot of reporters are frustrated by the minimal communication we're getting out of the iowa democratic party. from yesterday, jumped to 62 to 71%. reporting in the afternoon. 11:00 at night jumped up to 71% of the precincts. 29% of the precincts left to go. expects to see more numbers today. they should be able to wrap this up, neil. neil: mike, thank you very much. we've been stressing the markets are pretty much ignoring all this noise. more intrigued by positive developments on the coronavirus front. possible drug to treat symptoms of the disease, not the disease

itself. it is promising. china is throwing a lot of money at the problem to minimize the impact. there is still worrisome news on that front. a number of airlines, including united, american, extended freezes on flight into and out of hong kong? that adds to uncertainty. get a view all of this from "real clear politics" contributor, anneke green. we have fox news contributor john layfield, and democratic strategist, laura fincke. i want to begin with you, end with you. the read this is black eye for democrats and nancy pelosi didn't help matters any ripping up the president's speech even though i guess the president didn't shake her hand. regardless, do you buy the argument it has not been a 36 to 48 hours for democrats? >> fund-raising total for each of the candidates, buttigieg had his best day ever after the caucuses. depends how you look at it. reality there are a number of front-runners that people are

energized. that looks good for democrats. nobody likes to see chaos and confusion around a primary but iowa democrats are cleaning it up nicely. we'll get a tidy result and take another look at the caucus system. move to primary more inclusive and includes more people can afford and able to come and participate. neil: john layfield, that was a surprise, on that report from blake burman of the white house, long before this tension convention between nancy pelosi and the president, that the two haven't even talked on the phone since last october. i have italian relatives of course who can beat that by decades but having said that that's pretty worrisome regardless of your politics. difficult to get much done. >> absolutely. we're in new world of politics we're not rooting for whoever is best. we're rooting against whoever is worst. both sides need someone to dislike to galvanize their base. when you do that, you spew a lot of venom back and forth t

created this block in congress. it created a block in politics. it created a huge partisan divide. president trump is the most partisan president in history. 92 to 94% of republicans are for him but only 7% democrats. that has never been measured that difference. his approval rating is up because of with that partisan politics. president trump is not solely to blame for this. all these guys in washington, d.c., fighting at each other's throats and getting nothing done for our country. neil: get to the substance that matters here. do you think this started by the president refusing to shake nancy pelosi's hand, yes or no? >> no. i think it was before that. i saw that moment, i wonder if it was intentional. it is president trump, probably was but ripping up the speech was a very dramatic gesture. there is always room to wonder, maybe she was trying to do away with it. she said it was dirty. it has gotten very muddled. it is clear there is bad blood there.

neil: i guess what i try to get handle on, incumbent on both parties. is it your sense that it is hard to get much done in an election year anyway but this pretty much confirms that we won't what do you think? >> i mean i think it will be a challenge in an election year with the normal circumstances but the polarization is real. i also think this is the first time we've seen theatrics like this out of nancy pelosi. no more asymetric warfare where trump is only one participating. you talk about some of the things he included in the speech like infrastructure. look at last year, the actual actions. he walked out after meeting with democratic leaders assembled ready to cut a deal on infrastructure. so important, something we all agree on. president trump stormed out. you have to look where the actions are, not so much at the gestures and theatrics of any particular day. neil: but you know words matter. i know i will hear it from both sides on this, i criticize nancy pelosi ripping up a speech or the president, some of his comments, but he had a lot of whoppers last night.

anneek i don't mean to single him out but he was one speaking. he had doozies. lowest unemployment rate in we've ever seen, lower in the '50s, 2, 2 1/2%. growth we've seen is most startling we've seen ever. it was double that under the clinton years. he talked about the number of federal judgeships that happened under his watch. it is a record number. we had ronald reagan with more. bill clinton was double. and, obama with 50% more. so i'm listening to that. and i'm not trying to come off as never-trumper but that is almost never telling the truth in the speech. if i'm a democrat, i'm listening to that. how can i be patient and understanding and you know, gentlemanly or gentlewomanly about it when he keeps doing it? your thoughts? >> it is not news that president trump is bombastic. he exaggerates. neil: bombastic is little little

bit different than misrepresenting or lying, you know what i mean? >> i, like you i would have love to see annotated fact checked versions of the speech was where they are getting the claims. but at the same time, that wasn't a speech to democrats. now i think state of the unions should be a speech to all americans but it is an election year like we've been noting. he is talking to his base. what his message to all americans was, i was impressed with, he used the guests in the box to make the message clear, the country is doing very well. so there is not a lot of room for democratic candidates to contradict that. neil: no you were right about that. i thought going to the box and actually doing something with it, in the past presidents, john layfield, we covered this in the past, have recognized people in the audience and commended them but he promoted one guy to a general. he united a family. he recognized -- >> scholarship. yeah. neil: that raised -- all future presidents now better bring

medals and recognition with them. >> he set the bar high. neil: it so there is that. i found that very moving. having said that, john, obviously if you're a democrat and you're listening to all this, the backdrop is a strong economy, maybe not quite as robust as the president paints it but certainly good, you have to a tough battle on your hands. what do you do? >> you certainly do. the president last night gave away everything but a free car. neil: actually at the end of the speech he did give away -- no, i'm kidding. >> i don't doubt that at all. if you're a democrat right now you have to offer alternative to this. presidents to get reelected when economies are good. this economy is not great. the president did exaggerate the numbers but this economy is very good. the president deserves a lot of credit for this. the problem the democrats have, fighting against an incumbent. incumbents tend to get reelected against a economy with good. presidents with economies that are good, tend to get reelected. they don't have a candidate overwhelmingly inspiring. look at mr. sanders.

mr. sanders as far as socialism, only 18% of country believe in socialism. that is 50 million plus americans. they sound very loud but four out of five americans don't believe in that. i don't think mr. sanders has a chance. they need a candidate inspiring. they don't seem to have that right now especially against an incumbent with a good economy. neil: well-said, all of you. i appreciate it. remember our job covering speeches as it is, we were in iowa as it will be in new hampshire, we're calling balls and strikes. i find it childish when speaker of the house rips up a speech. i find it childish the president of the united states deliberately slights said speaker doesn't shake her hand. i find it childish that you have a good economy, and you inflate numbers. i find it childish, won't get up when you're recognizing a tuskegee war hero. that is childish. that is fair and albansed view of adult the acting like children. we'll have more after this.

neil: all right. all eyes certainly on the dow but general motors, fourth quarter profit nearly wiped out by the 40-day labor strike. that is why you're seeing a bit of an uptick in the stock because taking a look at that, even accounting for the strike better than expected on that front but the company's problems still need addressing. grady trimble has the details. hey, grady. reporter: this is the first time we're seeing just how much that united auto workers strike cost general motors and it turns out it was quite a lot. gm says it took a hit of $3.6 billion during that six week strike. its u.s. factories came to a screeching halt during the work stoppage. it didn't produce a single car in the u.s. during that time. the company lost $194 million in

the fourth quarter as a result. still gm still reported earning of $6.7 billion after taxes for the year. switching gears, one thing came up during the earnings call today, how coronavirus is affecting the business. gm already had to close down factories in china. it also gets a lot of parts in china from u.s.-built cars. gm ceo says it is a fluid situation but they are monitoring it and adds it is an integrated supply chain. you do have charts floating from china to around the world. we're looking at all that. the country's largest automaker by sales, general motors also says it continues to invest heavily in lech trick. tesla has a head start. even though its shares are down today, tesla is still doing quite well. its market cap is actually larger than general motors and ford combined. general motors is looking forward to an all electric future t has plans for that electric hummer as well as

electric suvs and trucks in the years ahead. neil? neil: grady, thank you very much. grady was mentioning tesla. it has great days and a day like today where it has off day. one of the biggest single day losses after consistent trend of bigger than expected gains day in, day out. it is volatile with a capital v. get the read from david dietze who follows this, so much more, very closely in the markets. david, tesla, that is a grenade isn't it? it can be a nice grenade if it never goes off but can be very bad if they take the pin out. what's real? >> the bottom line, this is a dangerous stock for people to invest in. it has gone parabolic you cannot justify the metrics on any kind of fundamentals and even if the story plays out as well as people think we're talking about a decade away. having said that -- neil: that decade away is the camp this could be a 7,000-dollar stock?

do you buy that? >> you know, anything is possible but i think the odds are against you. this looks like aol, 1999, yahoo!. bitcoin in 2018. even volkswagen when porsche tried to take over in 2018, the shorts got squeezed. this is a massive short slaughter which caused the stock to go up. which means it is divorced from the fundamentals and when ever the market is acting irrational i advise my clients stay clear of that having said that, neil, elon musk is starting to get the job done. it is not about electric vehicles. it is about a tesla. there is a lot of competition out there. no one wants it. they want a tesla. if he is able to corner market in batteries and sell everyone solar panels they will do well going forward. neil: they are beautiful cars. they are the most stunning. that is subjective view here but i always worry when the shorts give up and capitulate. some say now it is a cult.

i forget who said that. he had given up. when they all give up that usually represents a defining moment where the stock we all gave up on begins to run out, right? or down? >> they have had to give up because their bankers are calling them asking them to for collateral. neil: absolutely. >> as losses start mounting. but that can only go so far. at some point we don't know exactly where, maybe pivot point was today. things start to come back down to earth. neil: you and i were briefly saying during the break about the overall market. you're a great historian, one of the best i know. if this market on valuation level, is it rich to you? >> well, it's on the overvalued side. neil: is it on the 1999, 2000 overvalued side? >> of course not. cisco was the largest company in the s&p 500 in 1999. i remember it well. it was 100 times earnings. we have got great companies,

microsoft, amazon, alphabet, so forth. they're not trading at multiples, anything like that. and their businesses are far more compelling that an cisco was selling hardware internet -- neil: price to earnings front not awful but you look at another metric, right? >> the other metric that is a little daunting price to sales. right now that is 2.3 times the overall revenues of the s&p 500 for the market cap. we have never seen that in the last 100 years. that exceeds price to sales late 1990s. something to think about. it can be justified because of big profit margins, perhaps there are factors wages go up and other things develop where profit margins could get squeezed. neil: very interesting. david, thank you very much. we'll continue to follow that. follow the dow up 350 points. it is trying for the record. s&p is trying for the record. nasdaq dipped down a little bit oddly in conjunction with amazon. that dipped a little bit. we'll follow that closely. new hampshire voters are struggling with student debt.

flights arrived here at marine corps air station in san diego. the 747 arrived from travis air force base up in sacramento. both flights carrying 350 passengers total, arrived early this morning from hubieu province in china to california. some will stay at travis. some will stay here at the marine corps naval base for 14 days in quarantine. all of them were working in the danger zone in wuhan in china. after arriving here, they will remain here until the cdc is convinced they do not have the coronavirus. they will stay here in about 150 hotel-like rooms. there are four bases in the united states designated by the pentagon to receive passengers. we received word earlier today that two more flights will be heading to, to the u.s. one to

staff. then reformatting stores. this plan is so serious, they actually dubbed it the polaris strategy. this is according to macy's press release. if you're wondering about the three-year turn around plan. they have three pillars they want to focus on. the fashion game, some people say they're not as trendy. they will be expanding their value offerings as well. what i mean by that is, they will be expanding the macy's backstage locations. these are off brands. think of like a tj maxx, so things are a little bit cheaper, if the season is over, they would put it there. they will be reformatting stores. what i mean by that, creating smaller stores. market by macy's is an example t would be a stand-alone store, much smaller. there is one actually opening in dallas tomorrow, if you happen to be in there. not all analysts are sold on the turn around plan, despite the stock being higher. citi analysts say they have no reason to believe the strategy is enough. they have pushed to sell the stock with a price target of $13. i will end on this, capri

states and swing states while ignoring the first couple democratic primaries. by my count he has spent $300 million on television, radio, online advertisements. taking up those open slots. for example, tom steyer has, former hedge fund manager spent $134 million. no other democratic candidate has reached $30 million in ad buys as of yet. now in addition, now that the iowa caucus results are trickling in, some experts i talked with, they think the true winner of that caucus was michael bloomberg. his campaign, and ad buys based on the idea that former vice president joe biden would fade in the polls. apparently his fourth place finish, if it holds is opening the door for bloomberg. maybe he saw that, bloomberg did. on so but doubling down on the ad buys might push him into the polls and into the nomination he is hoping. back to you. neil: got,it, my friend. thank you very much.

there is other stuff today. forget on awaiting iowa results. the other i word, impeachment. we get the final vote whether or not to con scribing the president of the united states that sun likely. we'll be watching and how, whether they split hairs as mitt romney might do, insisting right now there is a possibility to convict on one count and not on the other. it is a mess. i don't understand it. fortunately bill mcgurn, great writer, "wall street journal," former speechwriter is with me right now. he is with me right now. what do you expect happens here? i think it is a foregone conclusion there will not be a conviction. maybe what certain democrats or republicans might do, what do you think? >> that is what you say is true. what that shows is, it has been kind of a sham because people always knew the outcome. it was never likely that the senate would get 20 republicans to switch over and convict.

we've gone through charade and everything. the problem democrats have, they bored people to death. before the state of the union i saw poor adam schiff still making his case. i'm wondering were anyone a part from a few twitter watchers tuning in to hear him talk about that? neil: i can only imagine that was meant for the viewing audience but did it change any minds? no matter who you talk to, democrats overwhelmingly supporting impeachment, republicans overwhelmingly not, in the end did it change anything? >> impeachment? no. i don't think -- neil: if anything his numbers are higher. >> which is what happened to bill clinton after he was impeached. neil: but he wasn't running for president. >> all that i think that they did is set donald trump up for his triumphant state of the union last night. i mean because he is kind of, he is kind of like godzilla. they're throwing spears at him, they're shooting him, the army, still bouncing off of him. it is the most dramatic stage in

american democracy. neil: does that make nancy pelosi rodan? >> could be. they set him up. by being there, you have thrown everything you got at me including constitutional equivalent of a nuke and here i am standing here. i think it set him up to look strong. that is always the advantage the president has in the state of the union. he is the commander-in-chief. neil: right. >> the speaker may be speaker of the house, always seen as a more partisan figure. neil: were you surprised bill, you covered this a long time, that nancy pelosi and the president haven't spoken since last october? >> i'm surprised in the sense of washington, that you would think that there would be some business -- i'm not surprised, you know given the dynamics. neil: if he is reelected, assuming the house stays under democratic control -- >> big assumption. neil: right, right. what do you think? how is it going to go? >> i don't know. i think it is all up for grabs now. again, as you say, presidents

approval ratings have been rising through impeachment. and look the people who really matter are not the republicans and not the democrats but the independents, especially in those battleground states. i think they hated impeachment. i think they regard that as a washington kind of soap opera, especially when you know the outcome, all these pious speeches on both sides. neil: it is not over. they're still trying to subpoena john bolton. >> how is that going to work? you remember bob mueller? casey at the bat. if only bob mueller could get up and take a whack. and now he is faded into the ether. i don't think impeachment will be such a big deal. neil: as you point out impeachment with something else. >> it is a first. we had other presidents impeached before, no one in the first term who would run for the second term. neil: wild stuff. thank you, my friend, very much. bill mcgurn. meantime it is all about the jobs. but this time the blue-collar jobs. why what the president is saying

more. they get out in the workforce, they realize whatever career they have selected, they're never going to be able to pay that back. so it would be like -- neil: does that mean we don't give loans to philosophy majors? >> that is a good question, neil. i think it comes down to buyer beware. you have to put some thought into the fact to say, if i'm going to be a philosophy major, or i will be a librarian, how about that one you need a master's degree, okay, how much money women i will make? 55,000, 75,000? meantime you absorbed $250,000 in debt? neil: i always figure the dad who accosted senator warren, right? i worked a variety of jobs to pay for my daughter's college education. i worked my butt off to do that you're forgiving those others who didn't have to do that. >> that gentleman had a point.

i did all the right things, i worked multiple jobs, i saddled with all this debt or my child is saddled with all the debt. the person who took the lazy route potentially, everything is free. the system is clearly broken in that regard. neil: i wish we had more time i wanted to talk to you very quickly about the survey out. 44% of couples keep financial secrets, either separate accounts the other doesn't know about, or worse. what did you think of that? >> well, all relationships, neil, are built upon trust. neil: right. >> people want to trust. it is that natural human feeling, you want to trust your spouse, your friends, everybody you know. and then when you find out that they're cheating on you because they have a secret bank account, or credit card, it really hurts. and, we have to look at what is the reason why people do that? from what i saw in that survey, you have people that still want

to be able to maintain control of their finances. or on the other end of it, sometimes they don't want their partner to know they're a little irresponsible or not good handling money. neil: in your case, revenues from your multiple best-sellers the revenues iryour wife had no idea it existed. >> and it is offshore [laughter] neil: there is a way to do this, folks, that is the way to do it. thank you, dan, he did not do that by the way. i set it up here. meanwhile millenials are about to jump in the housing market the way we have never seen. you remember the way they were burnt what they saw their parents go through by the meltdown? i think they're over it. ♪. well have you tried thinkorswim? this is totally customizable,

it. >> 100 billion-dollar colossus that basically incubates every major tech company and made really bad bets this year including wework. we knew, we the rotted in the past there would be a shake-up in the fund. we thought misra is going but we is is not. he is staying. his number two is going. here is the interesting thing. this is where the rubber meets the road on this, misra is trying to raise money for the second vision fund. he is trying to get the biggest investor of the first vision fund which is the saudi sovereign wealth fund, pif, trying to get them in the second one. that is mbs's, his big pile of cash that they're using to basically modernize the company. the country. if he does not get that money, and from what we understand it is still up in the air whether he will get it or not, a lot of people say he will not, both parties tell us it is still an open question. if he doesn't get that money, according to analysts, ms. a

we could see more records today. s&p and the dow are trying to follow the nasdaq into that territory. we'll update you on that. maybe advancing the politics. anyway, five year highs was the sprint ahead. it really surprised a lot of folks. in the meantime, we are looking at the back and forth not only

with the iowa results in new hampshire, but the disarray with parties that something is actually working in the markets performance today. let's get to our panel. james, let's begin with you on what's happening on "wall street" today. democrats disarray or investors party. what you think? >> i guess you could say it's sort of the story of the year the drama in washington and the market just kind of cruises along and obviously that number is affecting a lot, it looks like big job growth. the unemployment rate has been so low, there still people in the job market, this whole government report and will get a look tomorrow quickly report on small business it has to make people optimistic going forward.

>> it's a tough battle for the opposition party to deal with. >> it is. almost, but almost feel bad for the democrats. the data shows the opposite, you've got people, 72% of the people have gone back to work, that's going from job a to drop be. they're going back into the workforce after having been completely sidelined. this is helping out people in middle america and low income neighborhoods, record low black hispanic, asian unemployment and women, best number since 1953. tax cuts from the millionaires and billionaires is a complet complete -- >> if you look at it and maybe this is trying to take a page from 2018, don't focus on the economy as healthcare.

they are going to wreck your entitlement. i heard a lot in iowa and a lot more in new hampshire and it worked. in gaining traction for them in the house. what you think? >> what's so different about 2018 is in 2018 from what they were saying let's not change healthcare. the candidate in 2020 and all good looking at the leaders on the democratic side is going to be saying let's make radical changes to healthcare. in some ways, the situation is reversed where trump is going to be saying here are my incremental improvements but it's the democratic side this time who's going to have to defend what are pretty radical changes. bernie and elizabeth warren are saying let's get rid of private out have plans. that's roughly 200 million people affected by that. >> it's interesting that they

are still waiting for the final figures. bernie sanders looks okay. i think there's a panic developing among democrats. they might go ahead and skip that role on the first ballot. to further disrupt that. what you think? >> i think it's disgusting. bernie sanders and like very much but if they are going to defeat him, they should do it fair and square. in the fourth inning of a baseball game, you can't run all the way to third from first. it's ridiculous. >> they want sanders to be the nominated, democrats thought they could cross donald trump. >> that's true. there is a risk, he's easier to beat than others so not exactly

one that's warm and toasty but it's only fair that they should win or lose according to the rules. you've seen them already change the rules to get michael bloomberg into the debate but they didn't change the rules to help kamala harris or cory booker. >> the real beneficiary from office. >> there bending over backwards to change the role to get him in the next debate. as long as the chaos goes on, he has the money to capitalize on that. fifty-five -- 60 billions in the bank. he could spend 10% on this and still have another $50 billion left over. >> ohio state senator. you heard all this talk back and forth, they are getting confused about the whole, is it sanders,

to eco- hard left? we stick with someone for moderate? may be still joe biden. >> definitely not joe biden. i don't know that there's confusion amongst democrats, one that is more vocal and more organized amongst the party activists and that is the progressive lane. there are a lot of militant moderates on main street that want to see pragmatic approach. >> they also want to wind. >> we do want to win. i would say the real loser out of iowa is joe biden because he came and forth no matter what comes on here. i don't think he's going to be able to move into third and overcome elizabeth warren and if he underperforms in new hampshire and comes in second to bernie sanders and potentially loses south carolina, which he's counting on the strong

african-american base, really, really big trouble because it's going to be slow down which means money is going to dry up. by the time he gets to south carolina, he may not have the resources necessary to win fair and stay in the game. i think this is where mayor pete is going to be in a good spot coming out of iowa and mike bloomberg i think is a real beneficiary who's going to swoop in and i predict will have more delegates than joe biden after super tuesday. >> you remember, there's talk among the republican establishment when they could ship the rules of the convention to prevent a trump domination. people realized pretty quickly the party would have revolted. you can't have someone winning all along and then be knit denied the price of the end. the same thing with bernie

sanders. when after win after win. you're not going to be able to sustain an argument that rules can be changed at the convention to prevent his nomination. >> i agree. i don't think we are going to see a consistent single winner. i think we are going to get different ones. >> the first ballot possibility, it's possible. >> it is possible. it's hard to say because it's contingent upon how close the numbers are and who the people are. >> the argument that bloomberg builds. bloomberg once that second ballot because then the superdelegates can come in and deny bernie the nomination. >> i don't think bernie is going to sit still over this. his supporters are not and they were upset about the fact that the dnc stole the nomination from him, at least made it difficult for him. four years later, these people are not going to support the

democratic nominee. some may vote trump, some may just stay home and discuss. >> we will begin new hampshire, you've got our coverage this weekend then monday on this network and fnc, we are going to corner all the catering. our prime time coverage on tuesday night as well on this channel, 8:00 p.m. eastern, one of the rare places you can get the numbers coming in if the state provides them, and foreign market reaction. it's all fair and forth.

today and say it is a profound courage, it is not. it's simply a matter of white and wrong. we are doing right. it's not a courageous act. it simply following the right. >> electing republicans to the senate, the nrs sees jones decisions to convict the president names it disrespected the overwhelming majority of those who stand with president trump. republican mercenary sender 2020 election year, that means it's too late to remove the president. >> the ballots have started being cast. i think it's out rages. i don't think any senators are paying much attention to what adam schiff and jerry nadler believe is the best thing to do. >> is 2:00, mitt romney from utah, he voted for witnesses.

he will make his speech and announced how he will vote for o'clock eastern time. we were told he might be but it seems like indicate they should have it on the republik inside of the aisle. here's the process at 4:00. they grow individually to each articles of impeachment through first abusive empower and they will vote 151 guilty or not and they call onto the second articles of impeachment obstruction of congress and they will announce them on both. they need to 67 votes. they won't get anything close to that deal. i've always told here that history of the united states plays out under the dome here in the united states capital. that will happen later today sometime after 4:00. >> thank you very much. the trump administration pushing in this case, 5 million-dollar tax credit scholarship program.

>> pennsylvania, we have a government who just vetoed a bill that would have expanded educational choice opportunities to let families just like hers be able to choose the most public, private homeschool for the family. he vetoed the bill and denied it. that's why the president last night said not only do we want to open the doors for her but we want to open freedom scholarship for people all across this country. >> we've got james friedman and ohio state senator with us. let me begin with you, the president is trying to say, can you imagine democrats not supporting this? you say -- >> supporting what exactly? are you talking about school choice? democrats usually don't support issues of school twice and here's why. it's the teachers union.

that very well may be in a political aspect of this but someone who served in the state legislature for a decade, the concerns we have in ohio about school twice had oversight of tax dollars. if administrator appropriately part of school can be fined by york utilizing public dollars in a private domain at least in the case of not ohio, no accountability and no equity in performance. >> the teachers unions. the partner alternatives. >> the problem is that the performance records are nearly as good as the public schools. i'm speaking for my own experience. i would say that if there is pushback on school twice, it's usually because there's an inequity in performance and lack of transparency utilization of tax dollars. it sounds great and i know there

are charter schools that work in places like new york. >> i do think it is about the teachers units. the same democrats who say the school factors or k-12 are awful, the most horrible thing. pell grants, when it comes to college, they found out kids 18 years old older go to a state school like georgetown or private schools like princeton or stanford. k-12 the same opportunity to choose where you go to school, it's antichild, i think it goes back to the fact that the teachers on the democrat party, they pay for them and democrats don't want to see that stopped. it's too bad for them. >> he's pushing for every success story like this. one woman featured last night, and others. >> that's the market, which we don't have with people and

education when they are stuck in the government school and they don't have options, they can't go out into the market. of course, if you have an open market, some will do better than others. then parents can make their decisions to go to places that work and take their dollars away from the places that don't. obviously it's an issue they feel strongly about. they feel like it may be politics as well to parents who are looking for an option after the vice president went to philadelphia, he went to the catholic school along with the secretary talking about the amazing things this school has done with very low income community getting kids into all kinds of great colleges and not everyone can get those results but if you have competition, parents can find the places like the philadelphia school. >> opportunities last night, featuring an individual who benefited.

[cheering] >> i'm grateful for the opportunity the president did pass a deal that would give this opportunity because like he said, it's what happened to me and it's a story i want to get out. that's the main thing that's important to me. >> it's not really the democrats this opportunity. >> when he was secretary -- >> absolutely.

so there's more on this than what meets the headlines. >> i would hope we see more like us. we often see things like infrastructure and cities and rural communities and everyone shares in the benefit of that. i think opportunities are the same kind of thing. there are number of communities across the country that particularly from the communities i'm from that have suffered from economic decline and so opportunities provide for that chance. >> the difference in the parties of whether opportunities should be targeted. >> the pushback on democrats, they are saying the opportunities are putting the money in the pockets of already wealthy real estate investors coming in and taking advantage of low income communities to put more money in the pockets.

we are going to need to wait to see how this bears out to see who really the winners and losers are. if we could litigate, the better off we are long-term success in our urban centers that could potentially be beneficiary. >> this is great news. happy to see this on number of levels. the program came out of the tax cuts asked, this is a part of a big tax cut, zero democrats are due supporting it. we hear from the left all the time on how trump is racist and hayton black people. there is this black man in the house gallery, a black mom and her child benefiting from us. >> what did you make from that? >> i thought it was terrific. you look at that support for black colleges and universities the idea that trump is a racist is a biggest lie around here. it's a vista talking point. blonde haired blue-eyed people in the gallery if he wanted. if you really were white supremacist what she's not. he had a number of black people

including that general. and of course his great-grandson up there, too. this is terrific. it shows all the positive things this administration are doing for black americans and i'm glad this is being showcased. >> i'm hoping the president may inspire some big cities. opportunities are a workaround for the fact that a lot of cities are hostile in business. high tax, high regulatory burd burden. if you want a business to come look at the new york city and other places, there tends to be a campaign from local state federal government to show how the burden can be reduced. it would be nice if you just had a nice low regulation environment for everybody. >> we are going to take a quick break. nasdaq and s&p both on face for record close here. the dow is not that far away. microsoft and amazon getting a lot of attention.

who later said in 2016, those kinds of jobs are not going to come back. it's also worth pointing out that president obama added more jobs overall in the last three years of his presidency compared to trump's first three. once the economy started to recover, the jobs followed. whether president trump will get another term top the numbers, will be seen but he'll clearly bring that up on the campaign trail. >> thank you. you don't need that, if you can build and repair, any of that stuff. back with our panel, i'm looking at that, look at like the pope months in advance. he's doing something right. >> vesture. i was in a restaurant here in new york a couple of months back in the bartender and i were talking about it and he said i went to play welding school. i said what you think you can

make? he told me after a few years you expect to make 180 -- $200,000 a month. if you could get those available for people because not everybody will be something of that sort. a vocational schooling partnership program president trump is pushing, that's the next way to get people to do well in cases like these, very, very well. >> those are very valued skill sets. >> tangible skills in the economy are rewarded. he got a lot of applause last night talking about expanding these kind of apprenticeship programs or vocational training but i think there's also now a new healthy questioning of the

value of college degrees, what exactly am i going to learn? how much in my paying for it? what can i expect for this major or that program once i get out? what's the income going to be? at something that really should have been going on all along. all of the federal money thrown into the market is distorted a lot of decision-making. >> so many of those jobs we have to bring in from abroad or ship out abroad. it's in our interest to encourage it right here. >> this is a bipartisan issue and i come from the industrial midwest, we have always supported apprenticeship programs, investing in the building trade and we need to remember your making that kind of money because you are highly skilled but also because of prevailing wages. policies at the state level to protect those strong wages which are earned because of strong training. >> another one that's getting a lot of interest from economists and what's happening on the

housing, have picked up. we have a lot of data but one thing, who is doing the buying? a lot of millennial's. this was the same, younger versions of themselves. what do you think? >> sleeping in their parents basement to getting into their own houses. this is great news. what this also means, which is very positive, when they move houses, they have to bike dishwashers, refrigerators, washing machines and etc. >> hope they are made in america. >> they need an electrician. >> it ripples across the country. >> obviously people have made a lot of jokes about millennial's, taking along time to get started. this is positive, maybe it's a generation because of a

financial crisis and its aftermath or precession doing a lot of the normal milestones of adulthood, they are now embracing, it's not just good for everybody, good for them and the economy but also a political edge to it as well. once people begin being owners, owning houses, having a stake in society, they tend to think about those things and they vote on issues and spending taxes and other government policies. >> speaking of which, maybe you can give me an update. young voters in particular. >> i'm not a young photo. i'll pretend to be though. >> i'm wondering mayor pete and joe biden, where's their head out right now? >> i think it depends on with iowa in particular, the caucus goers in iowa seem to skew younger which may have benefited mayor pete to an extent who is i

believe 37 or 38 years old, looking for some kind of excitement and motivation fact. interestingly, mayor pete performed well with older voters in rural areas. very much the mere image of the 70 something-year-old bernie sanders who seems to elude the hearts and minds of bernie tattoos that look like bernie sanders. [laughter] >> interesting development, we wouldn't assume the gunk would gravitate towards that. the last group was ronald reagan. >> including yours guhle at that time. >> bernie sanders and a lot of supporters are college students, 60 years younger than he is or something like that. i think the economy is a big positive, the gop will pick up support from people living at

parents homes and are not being able to get out. gop are to pick up those as well. >> he's got a good story to tell your. he just recited one economic statistics after another, i thought it was very compelling and i think it's compelling. >> thank you all very much. they must have done something right. the president is about to meet with the opposition leader, trying to see, it's an uphill battle. ♪
