9:20 am
believes it's unlikely snowden would get a fair trial if returned to the united states. and the republican house ways and means committee is firing the latest shot across the bow. they're demanding details. what kind of access to your health information, the irs will have, through obamacare, so-called data hub. diane black from tennessee o help us with this, we're learning more and more about the implications of obamacare and certainly what's going to happen with our data, our personal data and now we know that it's all going to this data hub. what's this all about? >> oh, my goodness, it will set your hair on fire, the more you know about it. there is a data base formed as we speak that's going to put our most personal information, not only our name, address, e-mail, social security number and all of that, but also our personal health information into this big data base.
9:21 am
we don't have definition who is going to have access to it. we don't have definition about those who have access and whether they will have security clearances. this is scary. we look at the irs and what's happened there and how can we be assured that this information, the most personal information that we have about our finances and our health care, is going to be kept secure. that's what we're wanting to hear. charles: with all due respect, i think that most people watching the show say that he we can't be secure. we don't feel like this is the right time to accumulate late such data. we really want to have more than a verbal assurance that this is going to happen. so, i think this is what you're going to try to do. you're going to try to make sure at that before this is implemented, i know the clock is ticking rapidly on this, at that we get better answers? >> that's right. first first of all, we want better answers just how it's going to be secured. as i say, we keep being told they're going to take more and more information. first they told us thhy were not going to keep this information and now we know they will he' keep it ten years. first they said they're not going to gather our personal
9:22 am
health information and now we find it's happening. we understand that they're going to keep taking more and more and what we're not getting answers to, in addition to bill, hr 2022 that will put assurances there under the perjury of law, each one of the agencies would have to certify that the information is going to be kept private in addition to that, that they will not use it to target any individuals using that information. >> well, listening to this whole irs scandal as it's being played out right now. it feels like even if your bill went through. would it be able to stop some lone wolf, if there's such a thing, of thinking of doing a public, big service by llaking information or selling by some favors? >> many' going to tell you it's very disturbing, we mistrusted the irs with a very powerful organization, but that's been confirmed that our mistrust is valid. and we're doing things to get to the bottom of that.
9:23 am
so, i think right now, just the general feeling about the federal government having access to any of our ata should give us pause and concern. and what we can do is the best that we can do by putting things in place to ensure that that's going to happen again under the perjury of the law. >> you know, i realize this is the, you know, the crowning achievement of president obama, at least that's what he feels, with respect to the health care law, but he feels like it's coming so fast and rapidly and almost every single day there's a new headline about something that someone didn't figure out. they didn't put it together. is there any possibility of even delaying it, you know, forget about the idea, okay, we're going to squash it for now, but just some common sense and someone stepping in, let's push back the start of this thing? >> well, that's one of the reasons why we want them to come before our committee and show us where they are on this data hub. we have indications they're not ready, they're not ready to go and most importantly for me, is that we're going to secure the
9:24 am
information, but we want to see how is it going to operate. are you really ready to go? we're less than four months now before they're going to begin to sign people up for the exchanges and yet, we really haven't seen evidence that they are ready to go. and this may be an opportunity for us to say, perhaps this isn't fully baked. maybe it needs more time and we'll see that, we're asking the administration to send someone over to our committee, our oversight committee on ways and means and put the proof in the pudding so to speak. >> well, information equals knowledge and knowledge equals power and this is a whole lot of information that's going to be freely flowing out there, so, obviously, we appreciate what you're he doing and we hope you come back with some good news in the next couple of weeks. thanks a lot, we appreciate it this morning. >> thanks, charles, we'll keep you posted. >> thanks. relax, that's the message from the fed. don't take ben bernanke's word on anything literally. now we're just a few points away from finishing up in the green. that's all been happening this week. we're following the markets for you and see if we can hit that magic number that's on the screen next. we went out and asked people a simple question:
9:25 am
9:26 am
how old is the oldesterson you'venown? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we leard a lot of us have known someone who's livedell into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪
9:27 am
9:28 am
♪ let's call ben bernanke cool hand luke, one of my favorite
9:29 am
movies. just relax and something needs a cool hand and that's what we're going to do, we're not going to stop printing money. what we're going to do is help the market and see if it can keep up the winning streak. join us now from chicago, scott shellady. the market has been under a pretty good streak and you and i talked about 15,000 and make a breakout. we're pulling back. are you thinking go long or short at this point? >> well, a couple of things first your hand luke reference. i think that ben bernanke had a failure to communicate. [laughter] >> great one. >> we've got another 2 to 4% in the market and i think it's like this all the way there. the last six months has been ttrribly harrowing and i think the next six months will be that way. but i think we've got a lot to get through government policy-wise and market-wise. charles: scott, nike had a pretty good number and then kind of warned for the next half, for the next quarter. part of the rally this year has been corporate, corporate
9:30 am
executives saying the second half is going to be better and the street taking them at their word. if we see any hickup, then all bets could be off, right? >> absolutely, and blackberry and accenture had some problems. we need the revenues get better and we can't keep cutting to profitable. we need to grow to profitability. >> as you say that the opening bell is ringing and as i said the futures turn sharply in the last half hour and the dow opening up, thanks a lot, scott. big name you know, disappointing loss and scott alluded to it and those shares were down big, where did they open? >> blackberry to the down side this morning, obviously, down 27%, their numbers come in and reported this unexpected loss. you see the shares sliding 27% at the moment. $10.64 a share, the problem with blackberry is that the new blackberry, i had a whole long chat, charles, with some of the traders here, the new blackberry is not better.
9:31 am
i guess the curve recently trying to e-mail on it, teenie weenie butt toponbuttons. maybe get the old blackberry and beef it up, that would have been better. charles: people had a target of 10 and now you'll see them going lower. thanks, nicole. and there was news for a big name you know, strong demand for shoes and clothing, and nike's profits up 22%. after the close yesterday the stock was up 2 1/2 bucks and looked like a juggernaut, but guidance was so-so, as you can see the opening is so-so. it was looking like it was going to lead the market higher, but it's not. watch out xbox and playstation, google is developing a video game and a wrist watch based on the android operating system. this according to the wall street journal and the device as soon as this fall. i want to get back to you, nicole. >> i'm baffled. i can't believe you're going into this now.
9:32 am
the stock is down 2/10 of a percent and now they'll try and take on xbox and playstation and it could be an uphill battle, we'll see. charles: they've invented a lot of things, but they have to make money. although it's not hurting the took too bad. thanks. >> thanks. charles: let's stay with the market, i want to bring in john layfield from bermuda lucky guy. he's bullish and why he's in bermuda and john is bearish in the studio and we'll have the bull and bear debate. start with you, john. you say we should be buying here? >> yeah, i think so. you don't know what the fed is going to do for sure, when they're going to start this buying program, probably the end. year, maybe in 2014 and maybe they weren't going to start raising interest rates until 6 1/2% and you know how it works, once the unemployment starts going down people join the labor force to push it higher and that's a long way
9:33 am
away, before the stocks are higher and i think we'll probably see it trend upwards and i think it's going to trend upwards 5 or 10%. >> another 10% would be impressive. >> very impressive. you know, dan, we have this discussion. you're bearish and you make an argument and the market keeps defining what you're saying. >> it has, but it hasn't. it looks like we're completing the timing pattern and i believe the market will collapse and follow the gold prices down. gold is the leader of what the stock market could potentially-- >> when did it happen and gold become the leader for the stock market? >> gold is now signaling that something is wrong. remember, i talked about the deflationary depression that's coming and gold is coming down as rapidly as it has to hit my first target, 12% and the next target-- >> you were bearish on the market and bearish on gold. >> yeah, a couple of weeks ago, four weeks ago, said that gold is something i wouldn't hold at this time. >> it's interesting, a lot of people bearish on the market,
9:34 am
and only because it's ben bernanke are long-- >> the only thing i'm positive on are u.s. treasury, when we had inflation, voelker was able to keep inflation in check. you cannot bring deflation, you can only go to zero. when the population changes the policy attitude about spending, you cannot change that. and the top line revenue announcing in some of the reports are just not going to be there. charles: you know, john, i think that dan makes a good.about the effort that the fed has made and really the impact. you don't see it. you know, we had consumer incomes up a little bit, but almost half from social security benefits, stuff like that. we're not seeing what the fed is trying to achieve. does that worry you a little bit that they're pumping 85 billion into the economy every month and rates are at zero, and that the needle is not moving on the economy? >> dan makes a great point. you can't control an
9:35 am
inflationary environment. especially in tech opponents and things that have been helped by automation. and the fed can't control things when it's a structural problem not a cyclical problem like we were talking about. talking about raising rates. the stock market has gone up ten of the last 11 times, once the fed starts raising rates. and i think dan's right. look, there is a potential down side problem here. i don't see deflation like dan sees. i think that the market is probably the only safe place to put your money right now, and in the world. >> right. >> and gold as well. so i think there's a baseline to it. >> and to that point, dan, alan greenspan made his irrational exuberance speech and the market went down for a month and went straight up for the next five years. i trying to pinpoint that's collapses is a tricky game.
9:36 am
>> absolutely. charles: you've been bearish for the entire run. could you handle another 9 points on the upside. >> i'm not 100% short. my portfolios are different than what i'm-- >> people watching the show and grappling for help. people watch our show and our network because they want to figure out a way to earn some money and how do they do it and what do they do from here? >> this is a tricky environment now. like musical chairs with the stocks. you can be in the stock market, but you've got to be ready to pull the trigger and have your exit strategies, i like u.s. treasuries, they've lost control and there's an opportunity on u.s. treasuries, the commercials are high net long position and the highest in a year which shows me that a rally could be around the corner. now, we could get that disconnect now, that treasuries could rally and the stock market go down. the fed has done everything that they could to pump money into the system. the velocity of money is not there. the market can't continue with velocity of money going negative. >> listen, i agree with you on
9:37 am
the velocity and i may have to call you mr. contrarian here on out. most of the street is saying, you know what, sell bonds, buy stocks, itts the only game in town and you more or less said the same thing? >> yeah, that's my motive as well. i think the stock market is the only place back. after the internet bust of the 1990's, the companies, ciscos, apples, they got very, very strong and i think you're seeing that now with companies that had cash on the balance sheet. they don't need to hire people. and asking them to hire people they don't need is not a jobs plan. they'll have everything they can, the companies like google, like amazon. >> you guys are great and always great to be on with two smart nice who know what they're talking about and disagree with each other almost 100%. yesterday on "varney & company" i got into it with former u.n. ambassador john bolton, listen
9:38 am
to this. >> the bad news comes out and the market goes up, they think the fed will keep buying. charles: before you tell people not to do the market, people watching the show, missed the market and bought gold and getting crushed now. gold is down 30%, the stock market went up 100% and you're waiting for the bottom. waiting for the crashh and you can expect more fireworks coming up. the ambassador is back, round two next hour. right now though we have breaking news from capitol hill. darrell issa, chairman. house oversight committee says he believes that lois lerner waived her fifth amendment privileges when she gave an opening statement to congress last month. the committee is voting today whether she wavived her rights. if they decide she did they'll bring her back. and i'm going to give you seven early movers. this is dendreon, pretty good news this morning, up 7%. boston scientific are taking
9:39 am
over the electro physiological business. a great story, two guys met at a picnic and made a company that went offer the rails. and raymond james says this is low enough and buy or outperform this morning. biogen is looking pretty good this morning and so are a whole lot of biotech companies, i didn't see the news and it's a big, big move and that's a mover. zumiez, their target $36. molycorp, important, after the bell yesterday. the sec completed a formal investigation and they say into the public disclosures and found nothing that is enforceable so there probably won't be an action there, big, big news for them. and finally game stop. you know the name. target 55. we put this on death watch not long ago and the guy that helped us put it there will be on the show later on this morning. let's check the big board. the futures turned south before the open and as you can see
9:40 am
that's where we opened. the door up under 15,000. hey, af got another consequence of obamacare, major retailers are coming out. they want to delay it, it has to do with defining what a full-time job is. is 30 hours enough for you? a lot of guys working 40 are going to be working less. find out more next. ♪ (announcer) scottrade knows our clients trade and invest their own way.

9:45 am
>> all right. let's check on the big board because we're accelerating so much to the down side. dow off, well below 15,000, something after psychological numbbr for the market. time now for your morning gold report. look at this, another 13.80, 197, under 1200, the key number and everyone is joining the chorus saying 1,000 for gold, we'll see. and ibm, 5.90, i think mostly in sympathy with accenture which had a disaster and that's now 14% and ibm one of the big names holding back the dow. now, concern over obamacare continue to pile up and now retailers want to delay it. joining us now is neil troutwine from the national federation and neil, did you guys have an epiphany overnight? why four months from the implementation of obamacare, the
9:46 am
urgency to delay it? >> we've been spending time educating our members and i'm concerned at this state and not all the regulations out that we're getting too close to the debut of the affordable care act. it's a scary year next year, a lot of new stuff coming at us. i call it the freddy krueger year, most times. charles: well, what part of this is the scareiest? what part of it really has you like, saying, okay, we've got to delay this, we can't get our act together and they should give us more time? >> well, there are a lot of provisions, such as there are all the reporting requirements still pending regulations, but what really scares me, it's not the fine, it's not the rest, additional coverages, but it's the changes to the work force. if you're forcing us to manage to a 30-hour full-time limit. that's going to force some real changes to the way we run our
9:47 am
businesses. and what i hear out there, when i'm out talking to large and small members, and we represent 9,000 members.. we represent everybody from the biggest retailers to the smallest mom and pop shop, there's just a lot of frustration that they're having to take on these rules and regulations and run their business in a way that is foreign to them. charles: you know, neil, it's interesting that you mention that because we saw a lot of of individual businesses initially week out on this. we saw where, you know, the owners of red lobster said we're going to have to adjustments and other franchises made these numbers and they were immediately skewered in the media, mean spirited, greedy, to the point where some had to walk the statements back. did the retailers come to you and say the real world is we're going to have to make adjustments, and a lot of people
9:48 am
working 40 hours we have to bring them down to 20 hours, we need the cover and need an institution and you guys to fight this fight. individually, we're getting beaten up in the press? >> well, it is true that retail companies and chain restaurants belong to the national retail federation because we provide that uniied front and there have been a lot of skewering. the watch word i hear when i'm talking to my members, is opera optimizization of work force, not necessarily cutting back, but getting the right balance between full-time and part-time and i think that is going to be interesting to watch. some of them may be incremental in replacing employees after they-- with a full-time employee with a part-time employee, but a lot of change. charles: a lot of change, it's going to be painful change and lot of it is not in your control, but you're reacting to new rules and the public is
9:49 am
going to have to understand that. we appreciate it, you've got work on your hands. we'll talk to you again real soon. right now breaking news, chicago pmi is out, number 51.6 in june, 58.7 in may and you can see that is taking the market down significantly lower. blackberry facing its second biggest one-day drop ever. right now down 28%. you can see $4. and we are going to obviously be following this stock very, very closely. alex baldwin had another blowup. surprised? that's right, ranting and raving on twitter and cursing out and threatening a reporter. and find out why monica crowley will have something to say about it. she's here right after this. night
9:50 am
9:51 am
9:52 am
9:53 am
>> i want to get back to the breaking news we brought you a few minutes ago, darrell issa believes that lois lerner waived her privileges when she gave an opening statement. monica crowley is is here. it was caught and he was breaking and sooeone caught it and turns out maybe she did
9:54 am
waive those rights. >> you know who caught it, congressman tray gowdy who is a prosecutor who said, wait a minute, you can't say i'm taking the fifth and issuing a statement saying hey, i'm not guilty, i'm innocent and didn't do anything wrong and he says by doing that, she opened the door. and this opens the door to her being called back. charles: and i want to talk about alex baldwin, one of your favorites, and saying that he was inappropriately tweeting during james gandolfini at 9:53, 10:17 and 11:03 a.m. and asking for things like wedding anniversary gift ideas for promoting appearance on a television show: the only problem was gandolfini's funeral started at 10 a.m. and baldwin's wife said she left
9:55 am
early because she was feeling ill and those were messages personally, alec baldwin of course took it real hard. and i don't know, you read the tweets. threatening to hurt this guy and called him a queen. and which is interesting, and since everyone in hollywood is cheering the supreme court victory stuff this week. what do you make of this? >> it's typical alec baldwin bad behavior. the guy is-- >> can we always say it's typical? people say that's alec being alec. can we-- >> but i don't think we should excuse it. this is time all the time this contained rage that you see coming out of him, but these casino of tweets when he's going right after the journalists, personally attacking him and using what could be described as a homophobic slur and calling him a queen. no one calls alec baldwin to account and we have the paula deen scandal and made to pay the ultimate price for something she said 30 years ago and alec baldwin slowing around slurs because he's a liberal, a left
9:56 am
winger, that's okay? i don't think so. >> remember how bad he was with his own daughter? and new at 10, carly fiorina is going to join us, what we need to do. and the democrats criticized him and a woman who says smoking pot helped her be a better mom. a big fun hour ahead. monica is going to stay, too, so you stick around as well. in today's markets, a lot can happen in a second. with fidelity's guaranteed one-second trade execution, we route your order to up to 75 market centers to look for the best possible price -- maybe even better than you expected. it's all part of our goal to execu your trade in one second. i'm derrick chan of fidelity investmes. our one-second trade ecution is one more innovative reason serious invests are choosing fidelity. now get 200 free trades when you open an account.

10:01 am
guest, carly fiorina we are down today but let's get your thoughts. the sense we're getting a message from the market right now? >> first the message is the market for some time has been ahead of the fundamentals and the economy is doing better work, but face it, it is not doing great. second, the market tells us the fed has too much power. one man says three sentences we spend then next week to figure out what he said is it on the accelerator or the break? than the market coastal by hundreds of points. now we see concern of the fundamentals of growth it is not limited to china but growth and companies. charles: those emerging-market played a big role like with caterpillar
10:02 am
and apple. >> no question. charles: whaa about growth in america? is that the keys he'll? >> yes. the market is ahead of the fundamentals when you have growth around 2% at this juncture and unemployment we have a problem. i think the fundamental problem is on to print your ship is under assault. you have more small businesses failing more starting than any of their time. when small business is not prospering, people are not going to work and the economy is not growing at a robust way. charles: people would be shocked how many great businesses were started. >> that is what we're down as much as we are.
10:03 am
but that is dragging. i am has been a loser for the week, month, quarter down 3% for the month 9%, a second quarter 11 point* 5% and nearly 50 points of the doubt. charles: it does not weigh as much as ibm but we have to talk about blackberry. a significant loser today. >> we watched that. some analysts said it is doing better than rethink but not really because it is down 27%. they are missing across the board and you can see the stock is reflecting that. i will try to use my 2007 blackberry if i can get it to charge because the curve is hard to work with. >> corporate eric gan said
10:04 am
not like the two ceos but we will be back. j. george says they were targeting the left groups as well as democrats accused him to be biased and we have been following this story better than anybody. >> the it is confirming that the so-called evidence of the ira's targeting liberal sampras's equally is a bunch of bull. we have examined carefully the whole party shows that that proves progressives were targeted as much but it does not prove that at all and the ig has been very specific from the beginning rural letter on wednesday because of the erroneous press reports and he said we did not find evidence that the criteria you identified to label progressives were used by the irs to select
10:05 am
potential political cases during the 2010 through 2012 timeframe. now instead of saying they were wrong now npr in the new york times are accusing him of changing his tune this was the story the inspector general changes his tune. he never did. he never said they were equally targeted at all. charles: he has been playing it down the middle. but this reaction from the left. >> this is the new york times. one word about how they miss reported what the idea had been saying. i will do this. just like the congressman did to the report from the irs. >> they were so desperate to win still the narrative that liberal and progressive same way that they have to
10:06 am
hold onto the little nugget that wasn't true been remitted to establish the narrative. they want the story to be was targeting everybody and the irs is out of control but it was a strict political agenda to only target conservatives and conservative groups. the irs has admitted that. >> there was an effort to cripple a political movement that threatened the president's reelection. to be specific 2010 when they saw the power of the tea party with the republicans won overwhelmingly they did not want that to happen in 2012, the ira's somehow apparently got the message. charles: so this gets the question back where did the orders come from? even if not direct orders from the white house was there a suggestion if you do this, you will be my favorite? >> the whole objective was to kill the tea party movement in the cradle before they can get traction
10:07 am
remember in 2010 people said where are they? this move had a material effect on two election cycles. when you talk about how high does it go? this is just the beginning. charles: right now we will talk about the new normal. weak economic growth, high unemployment and carly fiorina is still with us. if you your ben bernanke talk i print this money because no one else is helping, wink wink. fiscal policy. is it right for corporate ceos to make the decision to bring the country back? >> one of the things i find disappointing and amazing is several years ago now, some symbols, at a commission inaugurated by the president
10:08 am
says something that is sova bipartisan to save as a fundamental tax reform coupled with that we have to have fundamental regulatory reform if we continue with the tax rate that is uncompetitive, the highest in the world, and a tax code and regulatory spigot that is killing with this complexity, this is why small businesses land on their back incorporation sit on mountains of cash cash, because they are nervous about investing, they don't know where demand is going up and tell a and unless we take on fundamental tax reform and simplification of the tax code, we will be underperforming as an economy. charles: from a political perspective, it worked to the president was reelected to say that they wanted to change some rules to put more money in their pocket,
10:09 am
everything fell into their lap. do we have to live with this reality for the next three years or at some point* could the economy pushed the white house to make a conciliatory move? >> i certainly hope so but who knows? when you hear the president's speech about the environment you're not left feeling very confident we will do the right things for the economy. i found it depressing depressing, honestly, that tim cook is brought up in front of up by partisan group of senators and excoriated out the tax bill that he pays because it is a fundamental misunderstanding of what we're doing too big and small companies. charles: that is disingenuous because i bet all those people that brought him up they did not call up to say make sure i pay up every single tax that i can. >> of course.
10:10 am
lot what has been much more rewarding and productive if that group of senators called up tim cook to say you're one of the prize is a very american economy, a great technology, what should redo to help you succeed? what should we do to the tax code to make sure the small entrepreneurs that you count on our thriving? but they did not do that instead they said why aren't you pay more taxes? that does not get us down the path and. charles: it takes us in the opposite direction. it back to nicole because believe it or not i think we have a winner.

10:38 am
down to discourage savings and the fed is displacing private investment and the notion that the fed monetary policy can make up for bad fiscal policy is a big mistake. is well beyond the functions of the central bank and not only has negative economic consequences but negative consequences in terms of democratic legitimacy. charles: i am on the same page with the federal reserve. i pointed out earlier when alan greenspan may be irrational in severance speech about the market being ahead of itself that was 2006. we took a hit the and then we rallied, for the next four or five years but trying to call it is difficult. people sit on the sidelines and just watch.

10:40 am
starting to recover so we should resume their normal role not as the sole instrument of policy but the central bank. charles: maybe he agrees but i also hear him hint at fiscal policy. do you think the fed thinks they have no choice or no partner they do all the heavy lifting themselves so that is the extra risk? >> that is a problem. if you have gridlock in the government that is the way it is. people get the government they deserve and in tel we get straight what kind of policies we want to me will not have a coherent regulatory policy. i say it has done more to retard companies than advance them but it is not plan be with the elected political branches don't function. who elected the non transparent, autocratic, of
10:41 am
very distant group of very intelligent people? we did not select the it aristocratic form of government just because the fed has the import control does not mean the other branches are not doing what you think that the fed should step in. nobody elects the fed or campaign. i think it moves in the direction of the european union where government of italy and greece to the wrong thing to push the of government aside in the european union takes over. it is a big mistake. charles: i agree 1,000 percent i am glad we e mailed each other.
