stuart: here we go. we asked a pretty good question i'd say, how many presidents have won the nobel peace prize? i know that barack obama won but i can't think of many others off the top of my head. so i will go with four. what say you, ashley? >> jimmy carter in 2002. i will go with seven just because it is not four. >> it's four. the answer, teddy roosevelt. >> well-done. stuart: teddy roosevelt, early 1900, woodrow wilson, jimmy carter, barack obama. four. we got that right. well-done, ashley. well-done. i was going to ask you for your opinion on kids in restaurants. we haven't got anytime. we'll discuss it tomorrow maybe. >> next time. stuart: that's it for "varney & company" today. "coast to coast" starts now. ♪. >> i don't care what they say, i

showered the other night. my skin was burning. >> there is a lot of people who don't want to stay, you really can't blame them. >> we're country people but we care. we all care. this is home. >> the first time i went into my shop was 36 hours after the derailment. i'm out of business. i don't know what else to do. >> i don't feel that they really care about us. >> getting the help or, you know, the sympathy. i'm not asking for sympathy but just, the sympathy of it all. we're kind of forgotten about down here. >> i'm terribly sorry that this happened to the community. norfolk southern is fully committed to do what is right. neil: markets might be closed today but residents in east palestine, ohio, hope and help from the united states government is not. fox on top what is happening now. fema sending in another team to assess conditions there, they already indicated this is not

your typical disaster, so there is very little it can or plans to do. it is up to the norfolk southern the company started all this the potentially toxic drama two weeks ago. transportation secretary pete buttigieg says nor has to fix this. it is up to railroad companies to boost safety so we don't see anything more like this. critics of the transportation secretary he is just blame shifting. let's just say, my friend, the shift has only now started to hit the fan. welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto. we're on top of the slow moving disaster around slow response to it. we'll be speaking with robert o'brien, donald trump's former national security advisor about president biden's surprise visit to ukraine today, more help is on the way there. still drama playing out in east palestine amid growing concerns little if any help is on the way there. to lucas tomlinson with the very

latest. lucas. >> reporter: neil, just a wide range of emotions here on the ground in east palestine. many people simply don't trust what the government is telling them about the air and water. ohio's democratic senator sounded sympathetic. >> they have a right to be skeptical. this is the same old story. corporations do stock buybacks. they do big dividend checks. they lay off workers, thousands of workers have been laid off from norfolk southern. then they, they don't invest in safety rules and safety regulations and this kind of thing happens. >> reporter: cleanup efforts continue here in town after that massive train derailment less than a mile from where i'm standing neil. some residents appreciated what norfolk southern is doing to compensate them, others remain very angry. norfolk southern ceo returned here saturday. the railway is handing out

1000-dollar checks only people live in the east palestine area. others say they're being forgotten. others say community needs to press on. >> we need people feel safe coming to east palestine. we need to rely on results we get. that is what we basically go off of. we don't very in results to prove what they're wrong. i believe the epa results, i believe our water testing results and i feel safe. >> reporter: hhs and the state of ohio will be setting up a free medical clinic tomorrow here in town. neil, just before we joined you on air, salvation army is setting up to distribute more bottled water. a range of mixed emotions. we talked to another youth basketball coach said he lost $40,000 last weekend because of a canceled basketball tournament. he wants to see the town press on and communities come here to participate in other sports activities.

neil: easier said than done in this environment. lucas, good reporting, appreciate it. i want to talk to bill mcgurn, watching other corporate crises. this is a big one if you think about it, bill. i was immediately thinking tentative, delayed reaction on the part of norfolk southern with the johnson & johnson the way it handled the tylenol tampering crisis in the early '80s. the crisis was not johnson & johnson's fault at the time but addressed head on regardless. do you think that norfolk southern has missed a chance to make a good first impression? >> well i think there is no doubt about that. look, you have to go there immediately. when you don't go, you look like you're hiding and it raises the cost of everything you do after. you you know, i'm not a guy that dumbs on corporate america and their leadership there is probably lots of blame to go around but i think it would have

been in interests to have the ceo go within the first days and talk. sometimes you go and all you do is stand there while people yell at you. that is part being the ceo. you're paid a lot of money. you know, like at the shareholders meetings. you know, sometimes you got to, for your salary, you got to take the abuse and i think there is a parallel in politics. you know, you have to go early. president bush didn't go early, flew over louisiana after the floods. and that guaranteed he had to go a lot more times in the future. but there seems to be, i keep watching the reporting and i hear there's no toxic chemicals in the water. the air is okay but then i hear people don't trust it. i see jd vance poking the stream and bubbles come up and talk of

dead fish. so there is a lot of stuff that's not easily reconciled and i think, first of all, we have to have the facts, you know a place to clear the facts and know what the problem is. neil: you know, sometimes when you dismiss peoples fears you mock them. i think one of the things that came up with even some, you know, local officials saying not the mayor, but some other officials say you know the water is fine to drink. make if you have well water you shouldn't drink it. try telling that to young moms and dads tying to take care of their family, wondering what the future is like there but when their fears are is did is mid-i think it just hightens the angst that's there. >> right. neil: norfolk southern promised to be there through the end to do whatever it can. obviously the liability costs here could be considerable but there is already efforts being made right now to increase the minimum or the maximum fine for disasters such as this. i think they're 225,000 right

now. many want to make that at least 10 times that. i don't know that will go but facing a fine of that serious consequence you will be careful. what do you think of that? >> i think, how does a fine like that help the people of east palestine? do we think the government will spend money better? you know one of the side crises of ohio is that the public health authorities so disgrace themselves during covid that no one believes them now. again i draw a distinction, it seems to be immediate threats of contaminated water and air aren't there from what the experts say and the residents are worried about the long-term effects because you can't even tell them just move. no one will buy their houses or something. they shouldn't have to move. they have their lives there. so i think we're paying the price for a lot more than a

train derailment. neil: well-said. bill, great catching up with you, my friend, bill mcgurn of "the wall street journal." i want to noll up with dave maney, expert press ceo, the business angle on this and there is a big one here because i used that johnson & johnson example, jim burke, of course the ceo at the time, remember those capsules, tylenol capsules were attempted. about a dozen people lost their lives. had nothing to do with johnson & johnson but he took the proverbial bull by the horn, immediately, immediately discontinued selling capsules, something we call caplets everyone recognizes today at enormous does. bottom line j&j's share of the pain reliever market increased because people felt he cared and he was always in their face. he was always giving updates. he was always going to the very communities where lives were lost. sometimes getting a lot of you know choice words thrown at him

even again through no fault of his own but that's what a leader has to do, what do you think? >> i think you're exactly right and i think bill said a lot of really on target things as well. this is a multilayered problem. we have a nation that is sort of lost trust in institutions and government most of all and, and major corporations right after that. and you're absolutely right, there is nothing you can do that's better than showing up and demonstrating concern. this crash as i understand it, appears to have been caused by a faulty wheel bearing. now imagine that is probably the smallest part there is on a railcar. neil: right, right. >> that is what caused this problem and so you know i don't think you can do the j&j thing of let's shut the entire railroad down which is one of the largest in the u.s. and would have immediate disasterous effects on the economy so i don't think that is a good idea

but i think sort of showing up, helping combat the recently bias, what you see on the screen can only help and that is what he should have done from the start. neil: we're already getting indications the government, particularly transportation department which certainly isn't getting in i badges of honor for its handling of this saying railroads have to boost safety and increase fines for derailments in general saying they're making a lot of money. i worry about them overdoing it, punishing a sector by and large, pretty responsive, pretty key getting the nation back on track, no pun intended and just as we're seeing more goods over the rails, economy is improving a fraction of it contains hazardous chemicals, i'm not dismissing that, but a fraction of the overall business but if you really want to punish it, punish those stocks you might want to think about what you're

hoping for because it could boomerang. >> absolutely. look, this is, let's remember several of those cars, there is amani fest that the epa printed on its website. you can see what was actually on the cars on the train and a whole lot of them by the way didn't burn, didn't blow up were carrying oil, petroleum products and this administration shut downpipe lines and said, guess what the alternative is? railcar transportation of petroleum products. this has so many layers in it. you're absolutely right. like, okay, show up, get your pound of flesh from the u.s. transportation department but if you overplay any of those hands you will have these kind of rebounding effects through the economy that just aren't going to help anybody, let alone the people of east palestine. neil: yeah, they need immediate help, not lectures about big ol' bad business but we'll see. still early, no badges of honor yet for the norfolk southern ceo

alan shaw aliving late to the party, but, but, he is now saying he will make up for that, make good, make wheel for everyone in east palestine. always food having you, my friend. good seeing you again. >> thanks, neil. neil: dave maney. meantime president surprised a lot of people. everyone knew he was going to poland. what they did not know the first stop would be ukraine a 10 hour train ride that got him there safely, at the same time make history. we'll explain and explore next. ♪.

neil: all right. we woke up to find the president of the united states had a meeting with president zelenskyy of ukraine in ukraine. it was pretty hush-hush ahead of time. peter doocy now with the latest from warsaw, poland. this surprised a lot of folks, peter. >> reporter: neil, we're getting some new information this evening here in warsaw about how exactly they got president biden into a war zone in a country where there is no u.s. military presence. >> the traveling party accompanying the president was extremely small as well consisting basically of a handful of his closest aides, small medical team, photographer

and the security package. >> reporter: president biden took a train from poland, according to "the new york times." as he walked the streets of kyiv air raid sirens were wailing warning of possible incoming even though we can now report the u.s. did give russia a heads up about the visit. president biden: freedom is priceless. it is worth fighting for for as long as it takes. that is how long we'll be with you, mr. president, for as long as it takes. >> we'll do it. >> reporter: biden announced a half a billion dollars in new security aid. no f-16s like zelenskyy wants but that is not diminishing the visit zelenskyy is talking about in historic terms. >> translator: the most important visit in the whole history of ukraine-u.s. relationship this is the visit in this most difficult period

for ukraine when ukraine is fighting for the liberties of the world. >> reporter: russia peace putin is expected to give a set of remarks tomorrow. i spoke to an official from the national security council who was here ahead of the president who still has not arrived in warsaw yet, i asked how much concern is there about putin's response? this official basically answered the question with a question, what could be worse, what could the russians do is worse than what they're already doing right now in ukraine? neil. neil: thank you very much for that, peter. i want to go to edward lawrence at the white house, not so much to address the president's surprise showing up in kyiv but this other meeting that was going on in germany where our secretary of state did finally have a meeting, albeit a brief one with his counterpart from china, wang yi.

it was tense with the balloon came down what can you tell us? >> reporter: it was a direct meeting. secretary of state antony blinken said he was clear with his chinese counterpart flying a chinese spy airship over the united states was unacceptable. >> i told l h wang li, my counterpart that was unacceptable and should never happen again. we talked about the russian aggression in ukraine. >> reporter: blinken is concerned that china might help russia and give support. critics getting no consequences from its action even asking u.s. to repair the spy airship. >> sounds like to me wang yi was there to place blame on the united states. this was clear china violation of sovereign airship. when they didn't own up to that, didn't apologize for that, tells me they don't want to take

responsibility. they will continue this aggressive behavior. >> reporter: nsc spokesperson john kishly says we have to have the conversations so the chinese don't misrepresent our actions. >> you have lines of communication that are open with china are important to keep open because at times like this, when the tensions are high, you want to be able to avoid miscalculation and misunderstanding. secretary blinken was able to deliver that strong message in munich. >> reporter: lawmakers on the select committee on china say the president looks weak. >> we know that they have been stealing our intellectual property for decades. we know they have been stealing your military secrets again for decades and nothing has happened to them. they are the greatest adversary and the greatest threat to our democracy. >> reporter: so the president says that china is a competitor not an adversary. neil? neil: okay. edward, thank you for that. to robert o'brien now, the former national security advisor under president trump.

mr. o'brien, very good to have you. what do you think of the chinese posture on this? i joked on air, sir, that i don't know what mandarin for chutzpah but first of all, condemn us for downing their spy balloon and then to say we should repair it and give it back and then to say they got to punish us for these actions because they're beyond the diplomatic norm, that is over the top and it is not getting any warmer, what do you think of it? >> the chinese humiliated us with this spy balloon crossing the breadth and width of the united states and no consequences. the only consequence they had is that secretary blinken didn't meet with wang yi in beijing but met with him in germany. they met with him in germany, no matter what they do to support the russians in ukraine, no matter what they do to the united states germany will continue to be their trading partner. so you know, today tiktok is in 100 million households. it is like 100 million chinese balloons all over the place.

we're buying millions of chinese semiconductor chips from simc and others flow into the country even though it's a security threat. ford motor company is building a chinese communist battery plant in michigan so they can get american subsidies. why wouldn't the chinese demand the balloon back? given everything else that is happening we're kowtowing to them in a way that is unbelievable the congressman is right, we look weak, and chinese weakness is provocative. it is not a virtue. neil: while i have you here, mr. o'brien, i'm curious the biden administration argued there were a number about these balloon incidents dating back to the trump years. i think they cite at least three. do you remember anything like that? >> no. we were never briefed on it. look to their credit the biden administration had secretary pompeo, myself, john ratcliffe the former dni into the headquarters of the odni last week. they briefed us. what they told us these balloons

skirted the u.s. and they only learned about it after we left office. we were never briefed. there was nothing of order of magnitude we've seen here. no crossing of the united states. no loitering over our nuclear sites, our submarine pens, our nuclear capable airbases. this is something that never happened and look, neil, you know as well i do, the chinese would never done this as president with me as national security advisor, with mike as secretary of state. this just wouldn't have happened. everybody in america knows that. neil: it would be amazing if it did. one thing that came up, i don't know if it is true or not the military didn't advance it to higher-ups at the time but to your point was relatively quick. that it itself beget questions shouldn't you guys like you in the administration know about that regardless whether military

types were afraid of burdening you with this information or not? >> again that was not something that was briefed to us at the dni. but if it did happen it would be a serious breach and if an adversary invades our airspace, national security advisor, president of the united states should know about it. i hope that is not the case. i hope those reports are inaccurate but again, what the chinese did, what they're seeing now. look, the chinese would love to have us fighting between the pentagon and the white house who knew what when, rather than talking about the fact this was a massive violation of our sovereignty. what are the consequences of chinese? tiktok is still on kids apps. we're importing semiconductor chips. we're building battery plants. they're buying farmland which are permanent weather balloons to our airbases there are no consequences to chinese. wang yee goes to russia talking about to the unlimited partner

about ukraine, what are the chinese concerned they launched a balloon over our country without any consequences? why do you think they can't support russia in the war in ukraine without consequences? neil: chinese cree for the second time i believe in four days launched missiles, got very close to japan, very close to south korea and i'm, they're upping the ante first time this year. they have been relatively quiet for a number about weeks. i wonder if this is done in concert with china's knowledge or just to add to the kind of provocative actions from that part of the world? >> well i think it is. it is similar to the iranians increasing their enrichment of uranium and totally ignoring the obligations under the non-proliferation treaty threatening their neighbors. north koreans have gotten in on the act. all these rogue regimes when there are no consequences for malign behavior, weakness, or perception of weakness, i don't

believe the united states is weak. we're a strong country and remain fundamental strong but we'rer perceived after afghanistan and letting russia go into ukraine and the balloon we're perceived weak. bad actors get in on the action to see what they can do an exploit. peace through strength works. we need to coordinate with our allies. i was pleased to see the president go to ukraine supporting the ukrainian people who are in the fight of their lives for freedom but we have to take a different posture. unless we do this activity is only going to continue. neil: all right. we'll watch it closely. robert o'brien, very good seeing you, donald trump's former national security advisor. by the way news out of meta of course. they have been in the news a lot but they're ready to launch a 12-dollar a month verification program, a paid verification program for instagram and facebook. you have to pay for this. it makes it safer but would you pony up? after this.

we've seen the job cuts. meta already fired 11,000 workers. reports are circulating there might be more to come. this could help the revenue side. this is trend emerging in the industry. twitter offers a similar structure with twitter blue. even snap launched a subscription service last year, which is cheaper, called snapchat plus. the other thing to point out, nothing changes on facebook and instagram for accounts already with the blue check. that was a close one. new service will roll out here in the u.s. and other markets we think in the coming months depending how the test goes in australia and new zealand. there you go, neil. we'll see how it works. how much revenue it brings in. neil: i have no idea what you just said. i'm kidding. thank you very much, my friend, connell mcshane on that. rob luna knows this stuff in and out. real talk ceo. i was thinking as connell was speaking, if you're not paying

industry. i'm wondering where it goes and a lot of customers are saying what i used to get for free, thought it was free and covered for free i'm no longer and it might boomerang? >> i think at the end of the day it will probably not have a major impact for people not extremely active on social media, not trying to monetize it. today, neil with the gig economy, everybody is becoming a social media influencer. everyone is trying to create content out there. people if they're not there yet, they think they are going to be there. this is something a creative, it does gather some steam with meta, neil. look at the end of the day there is some kind of prestige having this blue check mark next to your name. i think you will see a lot of people putting that up on their profiles. neil: you know, wondering what you make of technology? markets are closed today obviously for presidents' day. futures are generally down throughout much of the day but

there seems to be sort of a comeuppance feeling that the federal reserve is not done. there are hints from a number of voting members of federal reserve open market committee, set interest rates, next hike would be half a point, not a quarter point. that would be bad for technology as well disproportionately. i wonder how you see this sorting out? >> i think we cosee the 50 bps. the next quite is supposed to be a quarter and come dak down a quarter in december. the challenge, neil, we have the lowest unemployment rate since m.i.t. 69 at 3.4%. that is giving fed a lot of cover. 4% is the line in the sand. once you see the 10-year get near there, tick above that, that will be a lot of headwinds for the technology stocks and if you look at some of these names, the more aggressive names like the cathie woods portfolio those names are up 38 to 40%

year-to-date. we're at a point in the market right now if you see the fed get a little more aggressive most people are believing, be prepared for a 10, 15% pullback in those technology names. neil: even with the comeback that she has enjoyed, she is still down a lot year-over-year. >> yeah. neil: so we'll watch how that sorts out. rob, always good seeing you, my friend, thank you very much. >> thanks, neil. neil: all right, in the meantime here we're following governor desantis officially, presidential ambitions are not on his radar. he was in new york. he will be going elsewhere promoting incentivising people to become florida cops. he is getting quite the reaction after this. ♪.

since he was murdered on june 24th. i find great solace in what appears to be a defeat of lori lightfoot. she is polling number three. the guy who is really pulling that top spot, paul vals was public school ceo, when i was in elementary school. a very pro police guy, believes in fairness. he is a democrat but i appreciate somebody willing to put forward policies supportive of police officers and victims unlike what we've seen with lori lightfoot and kim fox, the county prosecutor there. when we come to this race quickly coming to an end, i'm hopeful chicagoans make the right choice to vote lori lightfoot out of office. she tries to push her candidacy, trying to address issues now when she had a number of years to do that. many family members murdered on her watch. she does not belong in public office. can go back to be a lawyer

whatever it is she wants to do but she should not be leading the city of chicago, neil. neil: gianno, it is well beyond chicago. i remember when you went down to washington get to the bottom of it what republicans and democrats will do about it, just as you're aware, a crazy incident in austin, a drag race, got pretty violent, pretty dangerous, not a cop to be found. makes you wonder we're defunding them, just ignoring them or just ripping them? >> you know what? it could be all three, neil. i think the approach that we took when it came to policing wasn't the appropriate one. you can have training. of course there will be nefarious officers no matter what you do. we see tyre nichols case, there wasn't enough training, not enough training. no amount of training in the world would have preventing them doing what they did. they felt they can do that. that is what happened. there are officers that, but that is not majority of

officers. that is not even close to being majority of officers. so our police need to know they're supported. they need to know they can do their jobs without fear or favor of people who may decide oh, i don't like officers in general. we need to defund this police organization. that shouldn't be the case. so i think people, a lot of people have actually woken up to the fact that was not the right way of doing things. there needs to be change if you want to see police officers continue to enforce law and order which is what our country should stand for, especially locations like los angeles, philadelphia, new york city, chicago and all over where, you have these county prosecutors who aren't doing their job, these district attorneys who are not doing jobs enforcing the law. we need to reform the system as a whole to insure that law and order is the consideration of the day, neil. neil: gianno, thank you very much. i always tell you my friend, you have done so much to pay it forward from the tragedy of your

brother's death. goes without saying you got to seep keep saying it, keep on doing. folks like gianno has experienced personal real grief when you lose a loved one for no reason at all, none. gianno, thank you. >> neil, i feel, i have no choice anymore. so i'm continue forward. thank you for your support, your continuous support meant the world for me and my family, neil, thank you. neil: you have got the world's support, my friend. giano caldwell, on all of that. meanwhile, so much going on here. we have the big money show after us, 11 minutes away. taylor riggs, what is on tap? >> it is about consumer auto payments coming in a little bit late with rising rates. speaking of rising rates how is the mortgage market acting? we have a new broker regional tips and cool-down. all that coming up next

2018. he was just three years out from having completely eradicate ad cancer that pretty much taken over his entire body. it also almost like a heavily event, it all went away. obviously went on a number of years to this day but maybe that luck has drawn to a close right now. the president seeking hospice care right now, not wanting to get anymore medical treatment for whatever ails him. we do not know exactly what that might be. a return of the cancer that gripped so much of his body. anyway jonathan serrie with more for us from plains, georgia. jonathan. >> reporter: hi, there, neil. the carter center says the former president is moving to home hospice care with the full support of his medical staff and family. the news is generating an outpouring of support from everyday people and world leaders including president biden who tweeted, we admire you for the strength and humility you have shown in difficult times.

may you continue your journey with grace and dignity and god grant you peace. as a devout christian mr. carter dedicated his post-presidency to promoting peace and eradicating poverty and disease around the globe but he also remained highly accessible to the public here in his hometown where he welcomed both locals and tourists to his weekly sunday school classes. >> he wasn't the flashiest president. quite frankly even in post-presidency he talked about not becoming rich, going back to kind of his humble beginnings and his relatively small, you know, ranch home in rural georgia and i think all of that kind of goes along with his outlook on following christ. >> reporter: at 98 jimmy carter has lived longer than any other u.s. president. neil? neil: a remarkable journey. thank you very much, my friend
