msnbc host and correspondent ali velshi joins me now.harles schwab executive described it accurately when he said there's a psychological impact to this number of 20,000. other than that, what does it mean? >> first, not only is it the number but the idea that the dow has the board we just looked at. if you have a 401k, your investments are probably in something that emulates the s&p 500, not the dow. the dow is just 30 stocks. the s&p 500 is 500 stocks. these 30 stocks that make up the dow we're staring at is -- they sort of represent the vast array of american business. and so people use that as a bammer it bam er barometer of how the stock market is. it should remind you to take a look at your own investments because on average over the history of doubt it returns 5.3% per year. take a look. i think we have an indication of what it's done this year. we're at 14.8% this year alone. >> wow. >> so your typical increase is 5.3. you're at 14. some people would take that to say i better sell. others take that to say this is amazing. >> if y

the quote he gave msnbc according to msnbc. is that kind of rhetoric from the president-elect appropriate in your view? >> well i think it's important to keep in mind that the arms race has been something that has been taking place for the history of the human race. and the forces of freedom and human dignity have always had a choice. we either stand by and let the enemies of freedom prevail in that race, or we make it clear to the world that we have both the capacity and the commitment to win any arms tlas takes place, and thereby, prevent those that are enemies of freedom from entering that kind of a dynamic in the first place. >> congressman franks -- >> not only in terms of weapons also in terms of how we have philosophy. >> sure. but donald trump has not even been sworn into office. should he be starting an arms race? before he's even sworn in? >> i don't any that's whathe's doing at all. sometimes donald trump's communications may not always be the most diplomatic or the most elegant, but he has got the principle right. i
