>> they could try to clarify for investors their plans for slowing qe. former fed vice chair says the policy stalemate could make clear that the fed has no plans for reducing qe. it could also emphasized that any start a reduction of bond purchases remains dependent on the labor markets. the statement could also point to slowing inflation which provides ammunition for the fed to continue qe and low interest rates. questions about whether bernanke will actually be around to see this through, it sounds like president obama does not think

so. >> bernanke is a little bit like bob mueller, the head of the fbi. he has already stayed a lot longer than he wanted or he's supposed to. >> janet yyllen continues to be the odds on favorite among fed favorites to take over for bernanke. other names that have popped up for speculation include roger ferguson, jeremy stein two is a new member of board of governors and, what the heck, let's throw in tim geithner. there is speculation that he may show up here to take over. who knows.

peter brooks joins us. thh new york stock exchange spokesperson has the client, to fox business on that particular case. alexander has said that these programs have produced critical leads. >> i was comfortable with the program before, in fairness. fifty plots in more than 50 countries. that is critical. it played a role in stopping the pots. go back to 9/11. what was the cost of 9/11 to the american economy? trillions of dollars. think about the lies that have been saved. they will only tell us about a couple of those.

they have to be careful about sources and methods. still needs oversight. congress should be looking at it closely. i am pretty comfortable with what they have laid out so far. connell: speaking of september 11 and attacks on our financial industry, general alexander have the following quote talking about rather being here debating this point in trying to explain how we failed to prevent another 9/11. do you think that these programs , you know, the internet surveillance or the phone collection, in terms of records, do you think that that would have prevented september 11?

>> they did say something to this effect. he said they may have been able to track one of the 9/11 hijackers if they had this program before 9/11. that is if i heard it correctly. that tells you something. who knows where we would be today in our history if they would have been able to do that. connell: supporters of the nsa leaker say he has been able to prompt or develop this discussion that we are having now about civil liberties, about what should be public. what affect do you think that these leaks have had? >> a terrible effect. they cost a lot to put together. they cost a lot to maintain.

this individual took it upon himself to decide to leak it. his case, snowden's case continues to fall apart. six months from now, we may come down where ww have a terrorist plot or attack, god forbid that may have been prevented because of this program and if it had not been late to outsiders. i think it was very irresponsible on his part and i worry about the damage it has caused to our national security. the general talked a little bit about that this morning. connell: 50 so-called terrorist events. peter brooks, thank you, as always. dagen: coming to get their corporate tax loopholes. that is right. the g8 leaders are getting on the right page.

massive paradigm shift that's going on today in the market. if you think about the banking apps, a like what was mentioned, depositten online, there's a wide variety of other things, transferring money, paying bills online, buying stocks, bonds, options, you know, a wide variety of things done today, traditionally, have been done in the last 20 years on secure, personal computers at home connected over a secure internet to a secure server back in the bank. that has all changeed now with the banks feeling pressure and excitement and opportunity, okay, of putting mobile applications in place for someone like yourself or your wife or your kids or virtually anybody out there that is doing mobile banking. dennis: give me a agreed on the squall of security as i do

happen here is you actually have to stop the hackers and stop the threats at the application level. you have to fortify and harden the application with technology like ourselves here. you can see a demo on the website which will articulate to you how easy it is to get into the app or any app that's a mobile device based app. dennis: a yes or no answer, do you use smart phone banking apps on your smart phone, and would you? >> not yet. i am waiting for, i think, the industry to come up to speed and adopt the technologyings we're talking about. >> thank you very much for being with us today, mike dagger. >> thank you. cheryl: switching gears to another story we follow for you today. the fed's bond buying program with a positive impact on housing. new home construction for may rebounds today up nearly 7% from the month of april, led largely

and home builders are concerned about the quality of the brand and pulling in random people is not part of it. >> multifamily homes of 21% month over month. >> 69% year over year. cheryl: not single family homes or mom and pop. the economy's not what we're thinking here? >> the apartment story is people move out of their parents' houses, move into apartments, stepping into the living independently life, home buyers that are representing or buy, and people want more space. vacancy level apartments is less than 5%. you can see that in forever. cheryl: that is an astonishing number. you look at regions, and i want to get to this because of the south led the way of 17%. was that on the commercial real estate side or residential side? >> commercial real estate. florida's back. listen, we have have an added

supply in forever in apartments in hotels, and wear houses and retail so real estate's back, the demand's there, and the interesting thing is while interest rates are growing that could chill the market, if they go up because the fed decides to taper or reverse course it's because the economy is strong, and when that's strong, it's great to rent. >> you say it's strong, and that's an alternative investment, kind of out of the will house a bit, but we keep asking the question here where a is all the cash going? it might be pointing to commercial real estate here. >> definitely, and it's important -- interestingly enough, it's not just the big cities anymore. it's across america. >> the strip mall's going to come back? >> going to come back, senior housing complex comes back, and -- it's not just apartments. the small suburban office building. >> and hotels as well. >> and the forecasts for the rest of the year. cheryl: revenue per room. >> 5.9% for this year, 6.2% next

caught between customers and government orders they are not allowed to reveal. in all of this, one underlying theme, government arrogance,,a paternalitic attitude that know what's best to impose on us whether we like it too much. is twitter in your business too much? tweet me for what's bugging me. cheryl: all right. back to, and dennis loves this or hates it, 106 point upright now. deenis: lighting that. cereal cheryl you do. it's about this guy, ben bernanke, stocks soar ahead of the fed decision. the meeting began today. also, one of the clearer signs yet that mr. ben bernanke is going to be exiting as fed chief next year. >> and does what goes up come down? netflix soaring, but too big for its brichs? that story ahead. >> let's look at the energy markets, oil, brent, new york

harbor, there you go. we'll be right back.

point gain, but volatility's back, big swings are back, and all those people concerned about when we broke 15,000, the traders said, you know, buy on the dips, thought the uptrend and technicals pointed to the upside so what i'm looking at, also names lead the way, pfizer and verizon doing well this month. looking month to date, this month of date, pfizer, verizon, dow jones clocking in another winning month; right? since december of last year, every single month has been a winning month, and right now, not tracking the street, not yet. back to you. cheryl: repeat the fact we did not sell in may. we did not go away. nicole, thank you very much. dennis: cutting back on promiscuous bond buying and easy money. reports that fed chairman, ben bernanke, and the fed may be ready to ease up on bond buying, and peter barnes has more.

>> promiscuous bond buying? well, dennis, fed watchers don't expect any change in policy out of this two-day meeting that ends tomorrow, but the press conference is tomorrow, and they do see this as an opportunity by ben bernanke to clarify or walk backkthe comments from a month ago about possible easing of fed bond purchases being less promiscuous and slowing quantitative easing. >> there's a solid majority to keep their policies in place at least until september, if not longer, but they are talking about when to stop or when to taper, when to slow down, and that's natural, but talking doesn't mean doing. i think that's where the market's ahead of itself. >> and we'll get a policy stttement from the fomc saying

that is the opportunity for the committee to clarify its policy plans, for example, former fed vice chairman don cone says the statement tomorrow could reenforce the pace of reductions in bond purchases could -- would be gradual, be data dependent, and could be reversed if the economy had any kind of reversal. it could -- the statement could reenforce policy decisions about bond purchases are separate, everybody, those are separate decisions, and finally, the statement could clarify the fed strategy for selling off the 2.5 trillion in bonds it has promiscuously bought in quantitative easing. whether or not ben bernanke is going to stick around to do this, well, didn't sound like president obama thinks so. >> i think ben bernanke's done an outstanding job. he's a little bit like muller, head of the fbi, where he stayed

longer than he wanted or supposed to. >> as for successors for chairman ben bernanke, janet is the front runner of analysts and other names, speculate for fun, roger ferguson, former vice chairman of the fed now running tia, germany stein, harvard economist who joinedded the fed last year, and what the heck, throw in tim geithner, president obama's former treasury secretary and former president of the new york fed. dennis, cheryl, back to you. dennis: quite a beauty pageant. thank you very much, peter barnes. >> okay, guys. cheryl: ben bernanke uses terms like "escape velocity" with the bond buying program. he's using the language. anyway, i tell ya. playing defense, increasing foreign demand of military equipment benefiting defense stocks. breaking it down coming up.

dennis: speaking of defense, finding jobs for the men and women who served our country. we talk with a vet teaching them to become entrepreneurs. cheryl: the world currencies and how they are fairing against the u.s. dollar, a buck-34 against one euro. ♪

corporations to report what taxes are paid and stop shifting profits across borders to avoid taxes. that's a look ag the headlines now, and back to you, dennis. dennis: thank you. a shrinking u.s. military budget and increased global competition actually are good news for defense stocks. our own jo has more. >> that's right, dennis. the u.s. air force is encouraging sales to militaries overseas. the industry, by no surprise, is coming up against challenges as the american defense budget shrinks, and the air force said international air force armed sales doubled in two years and expecting more increases. this is an industry valued at 138 billion dollars. at the paris air show, deputy of the air force told us that increasing pressure on the u.s. defense budget makes it important for u.s. allies to carry out intelligence, surveillance, and missions as -ell as refueling good for contractors saying selling equipment to foreign countries

that's attractive. you look for that dislodging. when a company grows in revenues and earnings, that tends to be favorable for stock buyers. when a company stock price appreciated aster, that's is overpriced. cheryl: so if you had taken his advice back then and invested in pepsico, you'd be doing well right now. look. the stock is up over 20% since oliver recommended it. you're looking at the six-month chart. i hope the chart kicking street continues as he joins us friday for the fox business summer time show down. eight stock pickers, two every friday going head to head in the month long competition, and we'll kick it off with oliver here to duke it out with chand morganlander. who comes out on top? both in the swim suits, muscles are ready, noon eastern time here on fox business. dennis: and a hundred thousand dollar prize that we have to take out of cheryl's salary because she -- cheryl: horrible idea.

recession. they'll pull out sometime middle of next year, and i think today's a great buy, looking at the demographics long term, brazil, india, china, things like that. dennis: that's nervy of you. that's good. you like housing and consumer. talk about that. >> i do. i like our large cap multinational as well and housing begin -- given the traction we see now. as we see unemployment tick down and continue to see wages increase, we're going to see housing continue its expansion now into the future. dennis: yeah, the housing bubble stocked by the easy money, low interest rate, and it's the hair of the dog who bit you and more low interest rates. thank you, lair. >> thank you for having me, dennis. cheryl: interesting take. well, finding jobs for the men and women who served our country. we talk with a world war ii vet who is teaching the younger generation to become

fantastic life, 67 wonderful years, and never a loss. cheryl: you were a kid in the great ddpression. what did you learn when you were a child that you apply today because you are someone that has neon not just several wars, but you've seen several economic cycles that have gone up and down, and if you're an entrepreneur, you had to ride each of those cycles. >> yes. i think the one thing i could say in two words is targeted thinking, that we have to learn to rely on ourselves, particularly today, and most of the safety nets are gone, and so people used to go to work for a big company and work for 30-40 years and retire. that doesn't happen today. you got to count on yourself and, in this market place, you have to prepare to be in a

business that you love to be in, doing something you love to do, and find a way to make a profit out of it. cheryl: if you love what you do, you never work a day, do you think that's true? >> so true, absolutely true. i can say that because i'm the beneficiary of that type of thinking, and my purpose in writing the book "the evolution of an entrepreneur" is to give today's veterans and today's emergeing business people a crash course. everything i talk about is something i've done, they are all stories and i try to simplify so that you find experiences of people emerging will have a very similar to

mine. cheryl: jack, a lot of amazing experiences, and your story's fascinating, jack, again, you said the book, again, "the evolution of an entrepreneur," jack, thank you very much. >> thank you very much, and take a look at the website to get more information. cheryl: this is why you are successful. >> i'm the oldest living tweeter in the world. cheryl: thank you, jack, appreciate it. ongoing house and intelligence committee hearing on the nsa data collection program, officials testifying at the nsa's program foiled a slew of high profile terror plots. >> the president suggested the other night the new york subway bomber could not have been or would not have been caught without prism. is that true? >> yes, that is accurate.

without the 702 # tool, we would not have identified them. dennis: this hour, the fbi'ss@ deputy directer testified about a plot to bomb the new york stock exchange. going to the floor, and keith bliss, bow's up 120. any threat you discounted to the market. what are you hearing now about the latest report? >> well, it's certainly something we are talking about on the floor, but to be honest, dennis, we dealt with threats the last 12 years now since 9/11, and so the markets have rallied to the all-time highs, something we are always conscious about, but this is the safest place in the world, downtown new york right now. there's a lot of security on the streets, and you know it's there, but there's security you don't see on a daily basis. we don't worry about it. the market trades on where it trades, and it doesn't worry about security threats or bombings. it's always out there. go on with everyday lives and don't be threatened by it. dennis: not enough to scare you

guys. the markets, though, in the last week or two are scared about ben bernanke and feds pulling back. what happened to the fear? why up another 120 on top of yield's gain? >> well, because the market is expecting the fed to stamp out bond buying program or raise it a little from what i'm hearing from clients and other chatter op the floor is that the fact of the matter is that the u.s. economy is a ot softer, and we've not gotten to the escape velocity talked about a couple years ago, and when you also factor in that the unemployment rate has not hit the level of 6.5%, not any time soon, i doubt, seriously, that they'll pull back or make noises about pulling back. ben bernanke had extremist in il moment on may 23rd when the s&p had a high on my 22, floated the trial balloon about pulling back, but since then, the data is soft. i don't see any changes coming from the policy statement tomorrow. i could be wrong. i think that's what we gauge on now. dennis: if the fed increases from here, the markets don't

know what to do with the fear. thank you for being with us, keith bliss. >> my pleasure. cheryl: metals move lower. listen to the trading pits at the cme, and phil flynn, what is going -- what's begin here with gold and copper here in particular? >> gold, you know, they are going down because no one is playing. the cpi is weak, putting downward pressure on the market and as well as the fed may be taperinn back, two reasons to get out of gold. i think copper goes beyond that, not only do we have to worry about the fed, but worry about supply, have to worry about demand in china. there is a story today, there's a big compromise that was down since may, maybe coming back online. that is is going to be huge because if you're going to bring on more supply at a time when demand is weak, that's putting pressure on copper, and that's why we have a low today. back to you. cheryl: phil, thank you. >> thank you. dennis: is netflix getting too big? the stock popped up 15 bucks

yesterday on a 7% gain on news of the deal with dreamworks animation and the stock up 4% yesterday as well. netflix is taking a huge risk, it's core skill is renting hollywood movies and network shows and accident happening them to the laptop, but this deal creates shows. wouldn't reruns of sponge bob be better? they thought the deal expire. these days, it fancies itself to be on par with hbo. a new forecast says ad spending will double the growth rate of this year and top half a trillion dollars wwrldwide next year. apparently, for the first time in world history. public group says ads next year rise 6% to $515 billion. that's a lot of commercials, baby. ad spinning this year gross 3% to 3867 # billion, down from 3.1% growth originally. ads up 13% this year.
