unthinkable now looks increasingly doable. all of this with a backdrop of some crazy margaritaville hotel ready to open in the middle of manhattan, pandemic or no, confident that better days are ahead. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. this is your looking a little healthier world right now. enough to propel stocks. i'm not focused on that. more on positive trends on the vaccine front and thoughts that maybe, just maybe the virus could be under control, not just here but everywhere. we don't want to get ahead of ourselves but we want to go to steve harrigan keeping track of it all. steve? >> neil, certainly looking good for the johnson & johnson vaccine. the fda announcing that it has found after research that the new johnson & johnson vaccine against covid-19 is safe and effective. the next step likely friday a recommendation to authorize emergency use of that vaccine. that would give the u.s. three vaccines against covid-19 in its arsenal. johnson & johnson said they would provide four million doses immediately, 20 million by the end of march and over the next four months, it would ramp up production considerably. >> we're working with the company to accelerate the pace and time frame by which they deliver the full 100 million doses, which is required by contract by the end of june. >> there's some advantages to the johnson & johnson vaccine. it's a single shot vaccine. both pfizer and moderna require two shots a couple weeks apart and also requires no special refrigeration. the testing was done by the fda in the u.s., in latin america and south africa where there's a dangerous variant. the numbers were not as good as pfizer and moderna. the key metrics are you hospitalized or die from covid-19? nobody that took the johnson & johnson vaccine was hospitalized or died. so where it counts, this vaccine does the job, neil. >> neil: thank you, my friend. steve harrigan in atlanta. let's go to dr. bob at st. joseph university hospital. chairman of medicine. doctor, a lot of good news today. a lot of people might hear it and think we're through the worst of it. i know you always try to caution folks not to get, you know, ahead of this thing. what do you think of all of these things? >> i think, neil, this is really good news. i agree with you. i want to caution people, let's not drop our guard yet. we're still not there. wear your masks, social distance, wash your hands. but we see more than the light at the end of the tunnel, this is a bright spotlight, which i'm looking at. i'm so excited about this. i'm seeing stuff drop, cases drop in our hospitals, deaths are dropping. we don't pronounce people dead every day now. it's very exciting, neil. it's an extraordinary thing. i have to tell you, i'm not sure why this is happening. i don't think it's all related to the vaccine. i think this virus may have its own course, you know, like the 1918 pandemic. just fizzled out. >> neil: if it is fizzling out and again to your point and you warn me neil, didn't get too excited, but if it is getting more under control, i'm wondering could that be a case of herd immunity building here and that that is playing out in lots of places? >> yes, i think you're absolutely right. that's the only way that i can explain what isaing. as your viewers know, herd immunity comes from getting infected or getting the vaccine. so with both of those and i don't think we have an accurate way of keeping those kinds of records, we may be approaching herd immunity at least in pockets within the country and certainly around the world where this virus has ravaged certain countries that don't have the vaccine yet. >> neil: doctor, i had a chance to seek with the nih director, francis collins.he says we still have to wear our masks and wash hands and wear masks through the end of the year. do you buy that? do you accept that? that that is just a reality, whether people are getting vaccinated a rapidly rising rates or not? that these sorts of conditions won't be going away any time soon? >> well, as a clinician, i would hope we're careful. i have a much more hopeful view that we will dispense with mitigation somewhere september, october. so that next christmas, our big gift will be our ability to get together and celebrate the holidays like normal people again. >> neil: you know, half of israelis have already been vaccinated or at least gotten one dose. it's a smaller country than the united states. but you're hearing about this rapid acceleration in vaccinations that we still have to deal in this country with the reality that they're coming fast and furious to states, but the states have a devil of time getting them out. they all have different standards. you know, from some that are considering giving it to teachers first so kids can get back to school, others give it to the old and vulnerable first so they are protected. they're all over the map on this. should we have a more consistent policy to go by? >> i think, neil, you hit that nail on the head, too. i think we should have a consistent policy. my patients are very count fused. 1 a, 1 b we understand. beyond that, nobody understands who is important. for example, i'll give you an example. a priest that services a congregation of maybe 1,000 parishioners was told that he was ineligible. yet he goes and gives last rights to people dying of covid. he was told he's ineligible. he has a large congregation where he faces hundreds and hundreds of people every day or every sunday and certainly every day as well. you see, we're fine-tuning this right now. i think we should just go ahead, my personal person. i've heard of the vaccine being wasted in some places because the people did not meet the so-called criteria. once we get over the vulnerable and the healthcare workers and the police and the fire and ems workers and school teachers, go for it. the general population should line up and get this with haste. not wait in line or go nuts as many patients of mine are doing right now. >> neil: yeah, the priest thing is world, doctor. dr. bob, a calming presence through this. we don't want to get ahead of ourselves here but we thought we should share good news. you don't hear that often. speaking of good news, we could resolve this whole higher minimum wage thing once and for all, whether it ever goes from the house to the senate. right now they're deciding that very scenario. because it's easy to say yes in the house. in the senate, they have different rules. it's the rules that we're trying to learn and that latest twist that could decide yay or nay. is this going to happen now or not? we're on it. research shows that people remember commercials with exciting stunts. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's something you shouldn't try at home... look, liberty mutual customizes home insurance so we only pay for what we need. it's pretty cool. that is cool! grandma! very cool. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ some people have joint pain, plus have high blood pressure. they may not be able to take just anything for pain. that's why doctors recommend tylenol®. it won't raise blood pressure the way that advil® aleve® or motrin® sometimes can. for trusted relief, trust tylenol®. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the mediave® or motrin® sometimes can. for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. this is andy, my schwab financial consultant. here's andy listening to my goals and making plans. this is us talking tax-smart investing, managing risk, and all the ways schwab can help me invest. this is andy reminding me how i can keep my investing costs low and that there's no fee to work with him. here's me learning about schwab's satisfaction guarantee. accountability, i like it. so, yeah. andy and i made a good plan. find your own andy at schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. >> neil: all right. will they or won't they? you're looking live at the nation's capitol. ee whether the $15 minimum wage push will be part of the $1.9 trillion stimulus plan. chad pergram likes to remind me, there's a big difference what happens in the house and whether it can carry-over to the senate. that's what they're trying to resolve. chad joins us from capitol hill. hey, my friend. >> good afternoon, neil. in sports when coaches wants calls go their way, they work the refs. in the senate, you work the parliamentarian, spectacularly elizabeth mcdonough. it's up to her to see if the wage increase can be in the next bill. it falls unreconciliation. >> reconciliation in most coffee shops in america, nobody would know what that is about. it's really about making sure that all the component parts are in compliance with the rules. >> democrats can avoid a filibuster by using reconciliation rules for the covid bill but provisions can't deal with policy and cannot add to the deficit. mcdonough must decide whether $15 an hour violates the bird rule. it's named after senate majority leader robert byrd. if it does, the wage crease comes byrd droppings. that means the wage hike would not be in the bill. neil? >> neil: all right. they're going off on a wing and a prayer. >> try to see if they don't run a foul of the byrd rule. >> neil: i was waiting for two minutes to do that. good job. you beat me. chad pergram in the capitol. if we have an update, we'll let you know. and very good to have, ro khanna. any bird analogies are welcome. first off, you have your own plan to try to find middle ground on this. this is not ultimately part of the president's plan, will you be disappointed? >> yes, i will be disappointed. the minimum wage is $7.25. i don't know anyone that can live on $7.25. we also raised it. $15 seems reasonable to me. >> neil: okay. obviously you know a number of republicans are concerned, some in your own party say it was chase away jobs. the cbo said 1.4 million of them if this goes through. you're looking at a way to help a lot of small businesses to absorb that. can you explain? >> sure. for the big companies, amazon, target, they can pay $15. they have done it nationally. there's no reason that someone in my district should not be getting $15 for amazon and walmart and someone in rural america shouldn't. so the big companies, makes sense to have a national standards. for small businesses, i understand. some of them have difficulty, especially with a pandemic. they have higher expenses. it's a challenge. that's why we need three things. we need to make sure there's a gradual implementation. two, we should look at tax credits to help them if they can deal with the cost and three, one of the things you have to do is give brick and mortar businesses cash credit for the sales tax. that's how amazon got as big as it is. they got treatment on sales tax. why can't we do that for our mainstream businesses? >> neil: all right. now, you're looking for others to join you. what is the latest on that? >> i just talked to leader mccarthy. i'm hopeful on common sense and supporting small businesses that we can do that. it's true that small businesses have been hard hit and especially with the pandemic. we should find ways to help them. we shouldn't allow amazon, target, walmart off the hook and not pay $15 wage. people say let's do it regionally. what i don't understand, why would you let amazon pay lower wages in certain parts of the country and only in california? doesn't make sense to me. >> neil: all right. is it your sense that one way or the other, this stimulus measure passes the house, goes on to the senate, with or without this feature, it's a done deal but might be along party lines? is that your gut? >> that is and it's unfortunate. i think the country is desperate for coming together, doing things that can find common ground. here it's going to be on a house party line vote and then on a senate party line vote after this, whether it's infrastructure, whether it's small business tax credits. i hope we can find things to work together on. >> neil: while i have you, congressman, the recall effort going on with gavin newsome in california. seems to be gathering steam. what do you think of it all? is the governor in trouble? should he be in trouble? >> it's a concern. i think he will survive it. i'm supporting him. i don't think recalling a governor in the midst of a crisis is the right way to go. it's tough. there isn't a governor in this country with covid who has had an easy time of it. i heard your earlier segment. i hope they're right, we're getting past it. but variants comes in. it's a tough time to govern. anything you do will upset both sides. so i think the governor is doing his best. it's a tough circumstance. he will survive it. but it's a serious challenge. >> neil: all right. we'll see what happens, ro khanna, california congressman. keep us alerted, sir, to what kind of progress you're making on this move to try to find a way to salvage a higher minimum wage and help small businesses the process. meantime, fair and balanced. lance good den joining us, the texas republican. serves on the house financial services committee. congressman, good to have you. i don't know if you had a chance to hear that with ro khanna about finding a way to offer credits and the like to help small businesses absorb that higher minimum wage. what do you think of that? >> it's a nice gesture but this $15 number is too high. i don't believe it will get bipartisan support. doesn't have the support of the democrats in the senate. i think democrats in the house know that so they're trying to come up with these carrots to get a little more support on the side of their policy. with the issue as i think is that we have seen a covid relief bill come forward. 9%, less than 10% of what is in this bill will actually go to coronavirus relief. that is the frustration on the republican conference on both sides of the chamber, that so much of this bill is waste. i saw a very interesting proposal from mr. romney and mr. cotton today with respect to the minimum wage, settling on a $10 figure and tying it to e verify. i would be set on that if we raised the minimum wage over time and tie it to e verify and have a disincentive for cheaper labor, which is the reason we're talking about this minimum wage in the first place. that might be something that would get some republican support. >> neil: congressman, you mentioned mitt romney. there's a column talking about the package being a clunker. he's referring to the whole stimulus plan because so much is spending that you don't need. a lot of that despite the trumped up headlines to get it out there right away, that can't be cut till next year. so given that, are you a no as things stand now in the house? >> absolutely. if senator mitt romney thinks this is a bad deal and it's too liberal for him, you can bet the rest of the republican conference in both chambers is against this bill. it's a real shame. prior coronavirus relief packages in the last year, president trump's term were bipartisan. republicans and democrats were willing to work together. president trump was willing to accept a compromise. president biden has not gone down that path. he wants what he wants and he wants this high figure. it's so bad that not even all democrats are yet on board. i think that as the days progress back to your byrd comment, as people flock to the senate, we'll see less support and a bipartisan manner unless we cut the pork out of this bill. unless we get away from the $15 minimum wage talk and doesn't do anything to combat the low salaries and low wages that are the reason we're talking about this increase in the first place. >> neil: congressman, i see your point there. we talk about big pieces of legislation. oftentimes there's bipartisan in the begin for the trump tax cuts. all republican votes, not a sickle democratic vote. for obama, all democrats vote. no republicans. the history exists on big pieces of legislation, it's all or none. does that disturb you? does that make you wonder whether bipartisanship will ever return on this and other matters, infrastructure for which we're told there is bipartisan support but never materialized. >> it doesn't disturb me. everything you mentioned are examples of big policy proposals that were instrumental in the campaigns that the people that got elected. what you're talking about and what i've been talking about is something in response to a national emergency, a national crisis. that's what we're in right now. we're trying to defeat the coronavirus. this is not just a tax cut or obamacare. this is a national crisis. the last year this country has come together, congress has come together in the last year of the trump presidency. we came together. i think congress is ready to come together now and we need president biden to lead and put forward a proposal that can support in a bipartisan manner, this is different than past take it or leave it policies where there was no bipartisan support. the coronavirus legislation over the last seven to eight months has historically been more or less bipartisan. i think this should be as well. >> neil: all right. congressman, thank you. the one byrd analogy is very good. but this process is for the birds according to you. i'll try to have the last word. thanks, congressman. >> thank you. >> neil: i want to take you back to this weekend and this scary image of this united airlines engine on fire. you think this was an isolated case?

the ntsb said it could be a classic case of metal fatigue. bowing is grounding 777s, about 69 are still flying. robert is here from the ntsb. thank you, sir, for being here. >> neil, thank you. thank you for having us. >> neil: this metal fatigue issue, do you think it could be, you know, a 777 issue in a larger sense? i know a japanese air carrier was pointing to it for recent problems. how widespread do you suspect this could be? >> i want to point out that the 777 has two engine manufacturers. some of the airplanes have a ge engine and some have this pratt and whitney 4000 series. this pratt and whitney 4000 series is a minority of the 777 population. >> neil: so the problem is with -- if there's one, it would be limited to the pratt and whitney engines. it's very early and i appreciate that, but what are you looking for, what kind of pattern do you hope to see or at least try to isolate? >> well, a big finding the investigation so far is the identification of the fracture and identifying that as metal fatigue. as of today, we identified the initiation point where it occurred. so that is a good start. meanwhile, as you know, the faa has issued an emergency air worthiness directive to ground those airplanes with these engines until a detailed, very comprehensive inspection can be carried out. that eliminates the immediate threat right now. >> neil: did you have, robert, only so much you can share and i understand and appreciate that, of any prior incidents, nothing of this magnitude that would make you start connecting dots? >> well, there has been. in june, we completed an investigation of another 777 with the same engine type. it was going to hawaii a few years ago. so we completed our investigation of that. it was a situation where a fan blade fractured and in japan, under the impression that they have already recently completed or they are in the process of looking at a similar event in japan that happened in december. >> neil: you know, you always have twin responsibilities. you're aware of that. your biggest concern is of those that fly, end of story. but comes at a time when the airline industry is getting ready for the spring travel season, hoping more people will be flying. incidents like this give them trepidation, understandably. how long would an investigation this take to conclude? >> well, our investigations are comprehensive. as a result, they do take time. however, if we find the need to issue urgent safety recommendations, at any point during our investigation, we can certainly do that. the inspections that are being done under the faa order are very time consuming. it takes eight hours per fan blade. not per engine. per fan blade. each engine has 22 fan blades. that is comprehensive. each airplane has two engines. these are lengthy and detailed examinations being done at the demand of the federal aviation administration. >> neil: this is a more open-ended question. there's no right answer. but through the pandemic and airlines and plane manufacturers have been dealing with the same pressures, economic pressures. do those pressures and the cost of those pressures, have they to your knowledge ever compromised safety standards? >> we at the ntsb have not seen any level of change of safety. now, we really are in the accident investigation business. fortunately we've had a very good rate of zero accidents. i think overall there has not been a diminishment of safety. >> neil: all right, robert from the ntsb. thanks for your time. i know you have a wild crazy schedule. best of luck on this. all right. meantime, you know what stocks were doing today. so if you want to jump in and buy, jump in and buy. buying a home, that's going to be a little more difficult because it just got more expensive. we're on it after this. still fresh... unstopables in-wash scent booster. downy unstopables. welcome, today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste. you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself. so why wait to screen for colon cancer?

that is something that we have not seen in years. this is a ten-year treasury yield. this is boring you. it's neil, he's boring. i am. but this back up in rates, see the middle of last year, this was down around .40%. in other words, this is a rate that is pegged to mortgages. mortgages were the lowest in human history. now they're about triple where they were then. still very, very low. i can remember there was a time when, you know, there were double digit interest rates for mortgages that if you grabbed one for 13 or 14% like my wife and i did when we got our first home and thought we were financial nosterdamas, we were. but right now lumber prices are climbing. what do i do? it's not showing up in the housing data. existing homes new ones, we're seeing it pop up in housing starts. when you started building a home. i want to explore it with charles payne, making money host on fbn. we have daniel from dallas fed. let me ask you a little bit, danielle, what you make of that. it's slow, steady and hardly alarming. but it is still notable. what do you think? >> well, neil, part of what's doing on, as you say, they tripled. you have to look at mortgage rates against the backdrop of home prices. you know, the mortgage bank publishes news on how many people put in an application to purchase a home or refinance a home that data shows that they're down four weeks out of the last five. this last week we saw a tremendous decline. a lot of it tied to the texas storms. texas applications were down 40% last week. we did see the biggest decline we have in some time as the 30-year fixed talked about 3%. again, this is against a backdrop of the average home price in america according to nba being 418,000. so if you're already squeezing your way in to a home that you can barely afford and you're only doing so because boy, i have the low super 2.5% mortgage rate, any move up because home prices are at record high level can affect the calculus in terms of what you can afford in a household. >> neil: and we'll go into this later, pam or if you're listening to me. but president biden is going to be signing an administrative action, charles payne, to deal with some of these supply disruptions we've had that affect the housing. go back to watch, guys. because he wants to find out why things like that happen. why there's disruptions and everything from computer chips, food, medicine supplies. this is driving up the cost of a lot of this stuff. it's hard to solve by executive edict, isn't it? >> there's no doubt about it. you know, the lumber issue has a lot of different issues that have helped this including the ultra low interest rates and supply and demand aspect. with respect to president biden, what i thought was interesting today in the white house, it seemed like a lot of this stuff was new to him in terms of supply chain issues. it quite frankly essential to what president trump was trying to address. you wonder about the protective equipment for the covid. you think about computer chips, the vast majority made outside the country, the toothbrush to the nuclear determent system, it's everything. it's an america first light without admitting it. i don't care what he labels it but i'm glad the white house acknowledging that we should be making this domestically, some of this stuff we should not be willing to hope that china will sell it to us, whether it's computer chips or rare earth. i was happy about that. >> neil: yeah, the rare earth stuff, that i have a total lock on that. we got into this issue of things getting pricier leaving stocks aside. prices of homes, the cost for borrowing for a home. all of these things that go into so many gadgets and every day life, medical supplies that are all rising. again, for all different sorts of reasons. the backdrop is an improving economy, right? so i guess what i'm asking is, whether in is a signal of more inflation to come. albeit very low levels. i want to stress nothing like old farts like charlie and i were just starting out in the business. it's alive and well. does that sound like something we should be worried about? >> you know, when you consider that housing is household's biggest expense, every u.s. household is concerned with food. right now, neil, shipping costs, freight costs have gone up so very much that you have india, the country of india sitting on too much sugar because they can't get the container ships to carry it. vietnam on too much coffee, this goes back to the supply chain disruption because the united states doesn't produce enough of what it needs. we're as reliant on china still as i wish we were not. but the inflation and shipping and freight is becoming so high that my concern is that u.s. households are going to start seeing higher prices where they expected the least and need it the least and that's at the grocery store. so i am keeping a very close eye on inflation in the coming months because it does mean so much to the average u.s. household. many of whom are still struggling. >> neil: charles, the federal reserve is doing its part to keep rates low. they can't control all rates. the market rates. but these got quite a job on his hands. >> you know, chairman powell was on capitol hill back-to-back days. first spoke to the senate and then the house. you're right. here's the thing, neil. this federal reserve wants to do too much in my opinion. they already had a duel mandate, which was inflation and employment. no other central bank has a duel mandate. now they want to layer some social just tis -- i get maybe they feel there's some guilt to the fact when they keep the rates ultra low, the wealthy get wealthier and exacerbate the income and equality situation but it's not their role or job to fix it. they're probably going to make things worse. so wall street is cheering this like crazy. society at large though should be asking more questions. >> neil: all right. final word on that, charles. thank you, danielle. very good catching up with you as well. we're monitoring the president of the united states. this is a herculean task what he's calling for here, making the supply chains more effective. i hate to break it to you, folks. if you're looking for instantaneous results, it's not as if the supply of computer chips will materialize or certain ingredients will magically pop up on store shelves or medical equipment will pop up in your local hospital like tomorrow, this is a long-term issue. and we're not ready. more after this. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ hey limu!
