i mentioned earlier when i was talking to stuart varney, reminds me of dunkirk, which i saw over the weekend, and the assembling of vehicle, boats, whatever vessels they could get into the water to bring those soldiers back from france. that's the kind of effort we're seeing when people, ordinary folks, get their boats out and just start getting in to help and aid the federal government which there's a finite amount that the government can do. it's going to take everybody and other countries helping as well. >> sandra: all the help we can get. the speech from the president expected at 2:30 today. a big one for this president. i'm sure we will be covering it tonight. martha, thank you. >> thanks, sandra. >> sandra: this video from the coast guard showing a dramatic rescue of a mother and baby as we con to see this scene play out over and over again 37 patrick woke up with a sore back. but he's got work to do. so he took aleve this morning. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one p

ashley: stuart varney says we don't want oil independence, we want oil dominance.y keep fracking, as they say. let's get to the big question of the day. 700million. you're the money guys. let's go back to scott at the nyse. what are you doing with your money, scott? >> well, 10% has to go to charity and then a few million i have to move to my parents in with me. but anyway, in the eighth year of a bull market okay. what i wouldn't do is i wouldn't put it all in the stock market now. what i would do is put it in a money market account, and i would every single month put in flows into s&p cash and the s&p fund. so just in case we do get a corrective phase, i could cost average in over the next multiple years because over time, the bull market wins. not all now, monthly in flows over time, get a great average cost, and i do think we could make 8 to 9% on that in the years ahead. ashley: so are you going to buy, like, ten boeing 737s, but, no, you actually do like real estate in kiev. that's another story for another day. ira, what would you do with your 700 million? >

i saw your clip this morning on stuart varney's show with the arrogant elitest professor saying it's okay to break a few eggs and plot. that was okay to bring in socialism. i mean, i don't know where the f students were over the last hundred years as socialist regime after socialist regime fail. i mean, 100% of the time they fail, and it's failing in venezuela. people are dying in the streets. they're rioting because they're starving to death. i feel terrible for the people of venezuela. . liz: i hear you, tye. that's a great point. jason in venezuela maduro last year even rooted for bernie sanders to win. he called him the quote revolutionary friend. and here's what bernie sanders also said. let's take a listen to this. >> we're going to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. we must strengthen and expand social security. i believe in a medicare for all single pair program. liz: quick note. four democrats voted for single pair in a symbolic vote on -- this past thursday night. 43 democrats. they wouldn't vote for it. bernie sanders pushing for single pair. socialism here in the unit

every american should be told, great, stuart varney, you want to vote, let's see our voter card or if9 years with a green card. never tried to vote, never registered to vote. i didn't vote until i became a citizen of the united states. >> that is how it should be is not asking too much. stuart: deroy murdoch, you're all right. don't be such a stranger to this program. >> happy to be back, stuart. stuart: now this. tesla's chief, elon musk tweeted that there is a bigger threat than north korea. here's the tweet. if you're not concerned about ai, that would be artificial intelligence, safety, you should be. vastly more risk than north korea. emac, i guess he is worried that machines take over. is that right? liz: echoing physicist stephen hawking who said the same thing. you should be more afraid of robots, artificial intelligence than nuclear arms from north korea. he said it is a danger to humanity. watch this tweet. he said nobody likes being regulated but things that pose a danger to the public, cars, planes, food, drugs, is regulated. artificial intelligence should be regulated. th

nicole, i started out with stuart varney on the fox business network. me a forecast. on thing he would give me is that the dow would finish above 22030 today. it's on pace to do that. >> it's 22037. we just saw that chart. i remember when the dow was at 6500 in 2008, 2009. it was a very tough time. there were a lot of obviously layoffs. there was a time of financial crisis. now it's a very different picture. we're breaking records. in fact, this will be the seventh straight record close. the dow has soared since the election. what drove us since the election? here are some greatest performers. boeing up 68%. apple came out with some great performance this week as well, 40%. hit a new high this week. united health and mcdonald's up more than 30%. that's what's driven us to these key levels and some great earnings and the idea that the policies coming out of the administration, they're slow but they're still believers. then tessla killed it after the close yesterday. the $35,000 model 3 from tessla. this is ilan musk's baby for the mass market. he recentl

varney & company begins right now. stuart, convince them and we will do it, that's the state of play this friday, good morning, everyone. president trump is not backing down, oh, not, not one bit. he set himself apart from previous presidents and he's made it personal, watch this. >> he has disrespected our country grateful and said things that are horrific. he got away with it for a long time between him and his family. it's a whole new ball game. and he's not going to be saying those things and he's certainly not going to
