9:30 am
jobs number is, and inflation numbers are going to dictate the fed's hand because they're data dependent. we'll have a thin market. probably won't go too close from home, but volatile until friday morning. . charles: we did start yesterday on the upside and not doing too badly in the market. and i know you notice a flow, but you're suspicious. do you kind of ride this thing out through friday, if indeed we continue to rally? >> i've been doing it for 25 years and what my experience tells me is this, we might be higher or lower, but we'll slowly, but surely graduate toward that unchanged of level friday morning. it's friday morning we're worried about here and that's the number and i think they've been trending lower so we're not really looking for a huge number. i think we'll be on the defensive all day today and tomorrow as things consider waiting for that number on friday. charles: quick, scott, the opening bell has run. the dow is off 16 points right
9:31 am
now. yesterday it felt like the market was up on good news. if that sort of dynamic changes with the market able to go up on good news, will that change your perspective on this rally? >> yeah, i think so. i mean, we've got two things, this boils down to two simple things. number one, the things aren't good and the fed has to keep going, or number two, the market will find it on its own. for stocks, we've seen a race back up here or going higher, but ultimately speaking the economy gets better and we rally or the fed steps in and we rally. charles: that's called a win-win. the scott, have a great 4th. whenever a company makes a change at the top, i always say take a look at the stock and this way you can see how much everyone likes or dislikes the outgoing ceo. and zynga is the case here and the stock is up and looking forward to the former head of the microsoft's xbox. that was announced yesterday and the news is rippling through the markets. how are the shares.
9:32 am
>> look at that, up 12% this morning, so that should tell you. and just the rumors flying around yesterday also helps gwy zynga, and love the fact, which has been struggling. charles: disney's board extended iger by 15 months and remains chairman. want to check the shares on disney right now, relatively unchanged. we'll see what happens here again. the long range they're not expected to do well at all. i want to go back to nicole, and constantly the brands are supported this morning. it's a disappointment, less money and where are the shares. >> good news and bad news, i'll give you the bad news, the stock is to the down side and you see the stock down nearly 1% at 52.69 and lower quarterly earnings. the one piece of good news, they did raise their full year forecast. constellation brands, they may recognize some of the wines,
9:33 am
modavi wines, and others. . charles: and i recognize some of the problems. quick, ford. they just reported sales numbers, up 13% month over month. is that good news? >> the sales are up 13% and the stock is virtually flat at the moment, but good news for ford. they continue their record setting pace for the escape in particular. and we know the trucks are the bo bomb. charles: all right. nicole: the bomb means good. charles: and the f-series, it's the best for the f-series since 2005. i bought a new car and my wife wouldn't let me buy the f-series. and we want to bring in the markets and shah gilani. now, this is my name for you
9:34 am
you're the reluctant bull. almost as if you're disappointed that you're bullish. i'm a trader by heart and looking to be in the market one way or the other and i like it both ways, i prefer bull markets and make a nice run and have a long run at it, but we're sort of right now the fed potentially exiting ayn tand taking the foo the accelerator. independence day, can it raise independent of the fed. charles: let's say it can. last week there were sessions we were kind of up on good news. yesterday we were kind of up on good news and we were clinging on that rally into the close. let's say you see evidence, the number is 200,000, better than expected in and the market goes up. how does that he can change yex approach. >> it's much better.
9:35 am
and people say it's definitely the end of the fed. charles: that's my question, when and if the market ever exhibits the ability to rally even when it's on news when it puts the fed out of the picture, is that a good sign, even as a trader from a longer term perspective? >> i don't know that i would rely on that, what the fed is doing. i think we have to strip out the fed and assume they're going to do what they said they're going to do which is ease off the accelerator. are the companies going to drop top and bottom line. charles: as a trader you have to focus on the emotions of the markets, it's not the fundamentals. xyz reported 40 cents. who cares? if the street was looking for 42 cents, it's bad. if the street was looking for 38 cents it's good. you're focusing not on the emotions of market, ups says the market has been overemotional. go over weight on those and--
9:36 am
>> i disagree with that. i think it's incorrect advice and problematic for anyone who gets in late. we haven't had any major correction and i think to go long here would be nothing, but dangerous and foolish liz: i think that citigroup says up 10% some say too optimistic. are we headed for a summer rally? every year since 2010 we start great and then go negative. do you think we have a summer rally? >> we have the setup for a summer rally, i don't know. actually i've got fresh data points and i think if we get above these in the major benchmarks we could see a nice rally. if we don't, we're in trouble. dow has to get above 15,000, 112. and the nasdaq composite has to get above, break new highs. charles: and those are the numbers and get there on a closing basis and then we're off to the races.
9:37 am
charles: shah gilani. nice to see you. republicans are now using the so-called war on coal that president obama waged last week against democrats. not only for the mid term elections, but for 2016 and man major swing states like ohio and pennsylvania, makes sense, your he' taking jobs and livelihood away from people. >> especially in states like ohio and shutting coal plants. the president says stopping climate change to you, the radio address, is a prerequisite for anybody getting your vote. west virginia not liking it. joe manchin saying this is ridiculous, the democrats going against the leader of their own party. charles: west virginia, ohio pennsylvania, a dangerous gamut on behalf of the president. and apple plans to build a new solar farm in nevada for the power center. i don't know, is this pr, a
9:38 am
smart move? >> apple is using more renewable energy for data centers. analysts are saying this is the equivalent what it's doing in nevada to taking 6400 cars off of the road. and then wonder, hey, what about that carbon tax? >> every time they use those or equivalent of planting trees. we don't take the cars off the road. i get what you're saying. new at 10:00, it's called digital dementia. more people, especially kids relying on technology and it's scary the results of this stuff. point blank, it's making us stupid and cutting edge technology. what do we do? we're going to bring both sides of the argument together in the next hour. digital dementia. and seven early movings fers. in a market that's flat. and credit suisse, this company they're calling an outperform. canadian is solar, i think i've had it on varney as a making

9:46 am
president of egypt? this is the untold story revolution. certainly we saw masses put mubarak into the history books and now we're seeing ten times larger masses come out and revolting against the brotherhood against islamist rule and sharia. and the problem is there is he' always been a state within a state. since 1952, the supreme council forces basically have run egypt. the late 90's they start today pull back and even though they came out of their ranks and basical basically idealogs, and they have their own businesses and et cetera, they're extremely -- they have not transformed into had a military of the people. in late 2012 morsi tried to
9:47 am
shuffle the leadership and tried it put in younger folks, it's a secular-baseddtype military. charles: with the other arab uprising scenarios we saw where the ruler was deposed and so was the military, at least the military leaders can we ever say that egypt will have a true revolution as long as the military continues to dictate who is the final victor? >> well, it will not be a true democracy or a republic based in liberty until the military is truly controlled by the civilian government. but what happened now, morsi has not ruled by democracy, he's put into place fiated blasphemy laws and areas of government in tourism. a group is running luxor and they say hold on, this is not freedom. and there's an uprising, we want to better government, better economy, back from the
9:48 am
islamists. this is a good move happening and we need leadership in washington to help transition this and we need washington to take sides and not be asleep. as we've seen in iraq, we saw in syria now, the military is a huge part of a transition and until they actually begin to take a real back seat. if they're going to listen to the people, we need to hear morsi and others say they're going to relook at the constitution and relook at a real parliament which has been missing and move toward reconciliation. charles: it sounds like you're saying you can live with morsi staying in there, as long as he implements more democratic reforms, because to your point, it feels like this uprising here is larger than the other one, but it's also leaderless. who is the opposition leader and who is going to step in? who do we root far is finally what i'm trying to figure out. everyone watching the show, we never know who to root for, particularly in this case. >> well, charles, the side we need to take is the side of the
9:49 am
people that are against the muslim brotherhood party and finally beginning to unite around the idea of liberty and take that side against the brotherhood. >> that means that morsi has to go, period? >> well, there needs to be a transition through a legislative process in which he goes and which you visit, revisit the elections, revisit the constitution in a democratic parliamentary process rather than a military coup that would reset them back to 2010, which is not a solution. they need a third pathway of liberty, not the mubarak, secular leadership. not the islamist failure. because if it goes too long, you'll end up with an iran, and the entrenched islamists that never go back to freedom. charles: you used the word never. and you've pushed hard and talked about a muslim jeffersonion outlook, and we appreciate your time on these things.

this is expensive. how much pressure is on you, bart, to come up with a solution? >> well, we've always felt pressure to get to the table and get people back to work and the trains back on schedule. the -- only one of the unions asked for a cooling off period, and the other union agrees. we should deal with this now. i'm hearing we may be able to get back to the table today so that would be great to get talking. >> all right, rick rice, bay area transit, we appreciate it. good luck out there. the last strike in 1997 was six days. going to nicole, general motors have their sales, up 6.5% year over year. what's that doing to the stock? >> i was watching the intra-day of the stock just as i saw the first gm headline cross. it's up 1.7% at 34.58, just off the highs of the day, just about almost 30 cents on the news. it's fun to watch the intra-day

saying i'm in the white house, i see what the job entails and what the risks are, and i won't say as far as apologizing to president bush, but saying i see now, i've been enlightened, had an epiphany, and these are new things i stand for. >> exactly right. that's why he created the mess for himself. he wanted to keep the rock star campus hero, campus messiah image while at the same time doing the necessary things that the president has to do, and the problem is that once you find out what the necessary things are, you can't reconcile those two images of obama, and he's caught in the switches now, and a lot of these european countries, you know, i'm in a situation where i have no sympathy for anybody. the european countries who are getting to the fainting couches about how outrageous it is for americans to spy on them, one of the things revealed in the communiques is a conversation where the germans talk about how much the french is spying on them for industrial espionage.

10:09 am
conspiracy thing the statement from snowden was not written by snowden because there's grammatical things in it reading it like a european and not snowden himself. he would help himself to get op camera at some point. this is a huge problem for president obama and john kerry, secretary of state, because it's all the press wants to talk about. john kerry is running back and forth with israel, and all people the to ask him about are these questions, are you really spying on the allies? what do you think of snowden, all the rest. they need this off the front pages, anne it's not -- and that's not going to happen until they get their mitts on the guy. >> u.s. spying and everybody shocked at the gambling in this facility. thanks, buddy. talk again. >> thank you. >> it's about the 4th of july, and some of the staples will be purchased, long known for the smithfield proposed takeover by

hong kong, rich edson is live in smithfield, virginia. rich, the people there, how do you feel about the deal? >> well, it's mixed, charles, when you look at it. first off, there's a large level of excitement. you can export more pork, and there's one things the chinese-american relationship can use is more exports to china rather than imports from china. on the other hand, though, there's a lot of concern in the area, especially if those export promises don't come to fruition, whether or not the folks around here believe that that's over inflated, they are not sure about that yet. they are also concerned about possible food safety. they are also concerned about a number of other issues. look back to what budweiser happened, a belgium company buying an american icon. smithfield is an icon with food, with american pork. they feel as though they are losing a sense of control here although the company says

they'll keep the management in place and honor labor contracts and keep it things how that are there for the 2800 employees who work for smithfield in this town, there's concern as this rolls out, charlsz. >> liz here. rich, what's the company saying about toxic food? that's concern of viewers with food imports from china. china uses thing like fer formaldehyde in tof urges, and there's poisen in the food there. what's the company saying what it's doing to protect the american consumer from toxic food practices from china? >> well, the one thing they say first off is this a mostly an export deal where they export pork. again, there's nothing to guarantee that in the long run. you're right, liz. especially looking at the import concerns we have about consumables in the united states coming from china. on the other hand, you have american food safety standards, american inspectors overlooking anything that would come from
10:12 am
china, but there still are concerns with that. oddly enough, smithfield ran into trouble because of the chemical it used in pork production that was banned in china, something they are removing from their production, so it's interesting. it worked the other way for a little bit. >> yeah, something of irony there. believe it or not, the people will be happy when money rolls in. guarantee you that. looks like a nice day there. enjoy yourself down there, rich. talk soon. >> thank you. >> at it again, calling for a $1-$10 # tax on every gallon of gas you buy. up next, someone who says it's a good idea. ♪ any last requests mr. baldwin?

♪ >> hey, guys, dow up big time, up 57 points. i want in on the act. follow-up orbits, a stock i mentioned before. i still like it. in fact, it's on the cusp of breaking out to new highs. short position a couple months ago was 10%, and now it's 19%. i think they get crushed. margins are improving.
10:16 am
the company's got control of their costs. i think it's a takeover play, ultimately, in the space, but they are coming on strong. i think the stock is -- still, the target is ten, but not surprised if orbitz goes orbital. i know, corny. the chief climate scientistments the obama administration to have a carbon tax that generates, they think, about $600 billion a year. the way it works is $1tax per gallon of gas for you and me, and that's the start of things. it could be $10 a gallon. i kid you not. let's bring in bill with the center for bilogical diversity. bill, when you heard this, were you jumping for joy? >> ha-ha! well, yes, i am because i think it's a good idea, but before we all hype ventilate, we're not talking about $10 per gallon. we're -- congress would have to set the amount of any tax or fee, and the most important thing about this proposal is that there's a rebate attached to it. the american taxpayer would get
10:17 am
the money back. this is a -- >> then why do it at all? sounds like an exercise in futility. why do it at all? >> because climate change is killing us right now. i'm in tucson right now and over a month of 100-degrees temperatures. superstorms, floods, i mean, we have to do something about climate change. >> bill, what you are saying is that you make life miserable for everyone else and crush their pocketbooks and they are still going to have to buy gas because they have to go to work, got to go to the supermarket, and take the kids to soccer practice. you're going to make life more miserable for people inside their wallets and outside when they go to the car. >> no, i don't look at it that way. i have kids, drive my car, and take them to practice. this helps the american people. they get the money back. we have to get a grip on climate change. back to something i said, i was interrupted. this is the conservative solution of climate change.
10:18 am
many conservative think tanks and economists say this is the way to deal with climate change. don't have congress deal with plans, have it be a pure economic program. add that with the clean air act, we'll tackle climate change in a way that makes sense for the american people. >> your idea is if you tax it, people use it less, but they will ultimately get a rebate and get the money back. again, it's like a weird exercise in futility, ultimately, if you take the money from me tuesday, but mail it friday, what's it determining? >> well, what happens is if buying gas is more expensive, but you're getting that rebate, are you going to continue to pour money into gasoline fuels or look for ways to save money? like tobacco. we tax that because we want it used less. at some point, we have got to deal with carbon solution, and this could be the most longer call way to do it in addition to existing law. again, conservative theorists -- >> i heard you use the word
10:19 am
"conservative" three times right now. >> i hear what you are saying, and we debate a car bop tax for years. you make really interesting points here, however, i mean, even mother jones and liberal think tanks say carbon tax has little to no economic impact or environmental impact on the climate, and what they are saying essentially, what's better is moving to net gas or cleaner energies like solar rather than carbon taxes that annoys everybody, hits the poor hard, hits the communities hard, and not do a lot towards basically helping the finances of the u.s. government because there is no lock box for a carbon tax. go ahead. >> well, liz, i think you raise an interesting question, and agree there's no economic impact, only environmental impacts. the idea that the carbon-based fuels are taxed force a look at solar and wind and geothermal, allows technologies to operate on a level playing field. right now, oil, gas, and coal industries get $20-$50 billion a
10:20 am
year in federal subsidies. this takes a whack out of that allowing all technologies to operate, again, on a level playing field. >> yeah, ultimately, i think the free market -- if not meddled with, allows evolution of all alternatives over a period of time. ramming them down our throats at an expense that liz laid out is outrageous, to me. bill, you know, love having you on the show, be back soon. thanks a lots. >> appreciate it. >> all right. edward snowden still in russia, more and more countries denying him asylum. we got two questions. is president obama taking him seriously, and how exactly can he catch him? all rise, the judge is next.

>> first to nicole. zinga, still a big winner? >> a big winner, unbelievable. what's happening? zinga is failing, trying to turn it around, the ceo hand picked don from microsoft who was heading their gaming division. he was hand chosen, and don said he was not sure whether or not to go over, and he went on a long bike ride, and mark's reassured him he's willing to let go of the reigns, wanted don to tom in and take over, and he did making this plunge, and look
10:25 am
what's going on. stock's up 11%, over 20% in two days of trading. >> adding credibility to the company and the stock is reacting in kind. thanks, nicole. well, brazil, the latest country to deny nsa leaker edward snowden asylum. mean meanwhile, at least publicly, president obama appears to not be necessarily taking this international incident seriously calling snowden, quote, just a hacker, and joking about scrambling fighter jets. former state department official chris whitman in dc. it is interesting that the president seems to bristle at the idea that this guy is a big deal in public, calling him a hacker, 29 years old, we're not going to scramble jets. the alternative is nothing. what do you think about this, chris? >> right. it's amazing. obama saying that he's not calling foreign leaders like putin or the chinese president because he doesn't think he has to. look from their perspective.
10:26 am
this kid stole our secrets, giving them to all our enemies, and obama can't even pick up the phone to ask them to take the politically unpalatable step of extraditing him. it's how the administration is slack when it comes to national security secrets. >> you know, here's the thing. we have to believe something behind the scenes is happening right now, some sort of negotiations going on do you think the president, though, boxes himself in because it feels like the white house worried about public relations already anything else so if you try to appear to be calm and cool to the public about this, just what can he do? how much does that mitigate what he does from the negotiating table? >> well, i think there are things, as you point out, going on behind the scenes. diplomats o working on this living through the wikileaks things involved in this, but they saw the white house was not a lot of help when thousands of sources were harmed or potentially killed by wikileaks. there's pressure on countries like brazil and ecuador and
10:27 am
looks like ceo dare decide -- ceo dare decided it doesn't want to commit economic suicide. ecuador saying they will not receive him with open arms the way many thought they would. >> so, ultimately, what it boils down to, our image, after this scenario, after this saga, if you will, taking a big hit? >> yep, you know, we have the doctor who helped us find and identify pakistan rotting in a pakistani jail. the white house leaked that. no one's been prosecuted for that. you have wikileaks where thousands of sources around the world were rolled up. white house did nothing about that. you have a former kgb colonel in the kremlin in moscow looking at this laughing at us saying that snowden can stay as long as he stops tampering with their american partners, ha-ha, i think putin is enjoying this thoroughly, and, again, this administration looks feckless as an organization of wikileaks and
10:28 am
a person, snowden, waged political war on us. >> chris, thank you very much. >> thanks. >> now to the next question. how exactly would the administration go about catching edward snowden? well, all rise, the judge is here. okay. judge, we're not going to scramble fighter jets, but is this something we can do? >> why do we want to catch him? he's engaged in an act of moral courage and political heroism by revealing to the country and to the world the most massive violations of the right to privacy, the clearest violations of the fourth amendment in the history of the country. look, the government says we have to protect the country because of national security. well, national security not only secures our real estate, but it secures our freedoms, and if the government keeps the real estate safe, but jeopardizes freedoms, it's not doing the jobs we hired it to do. when someone like snowden, and i admit his post revelation
10:29 am
behavior is difficult to defend cozying up with putin and characters in china, that's not easy to defend, but if the initial rev lyings of what the government was -- revelation of what the government was doing revealed that the government can't be trusted, that's a positive good. okay. >> that's a positive good, but the other secrets outside -- that part is what made him initially the knee jerk hero to a lot of americans, and that is chipped away for the reasons you mentioned, but what about some of the secrets that he might be sharing that could actually cause us harm? >> well, i don't know what he's sharing. that's the problem with these prosecutions. the government charges with espionage, they have to articulate the secrets that he revealed, and they have to say how the secrets harmed us which is why espionage is a rarely prosecuted crime because the government inflicts on itself as much harm as it says the defendant inflicked on it. how can they secure him? wearing the legal hat for you
10:30 am
now opposed to my value judgment hat. >> okay. >> they secure him through diplomacy like the previous guest says. they can secure him through the stick saying to ecuador here's the harm that comes to you. joe biden tells you i don't have to make the call. it's what the president says. if you give him cover, here's the good coming to you if you expel him. they can also, if they want to get very extreme, kidnap him off the public street, and deliver him to the united states because when you show up in a courtroom in handcuffs with marshalls, you say, hey, judge, i was in mew lain two days ago, they kidnapped me, the judge says if you they they kidnapped you, file a complaint against you. nothing to do with how you got here. >> before we wrap, donald trump on fox and friends says we should kill him. this sort of thinking might actually also be growing. is he a legitimate target? i know he's not in your mind from your values point of view,
10:31 am
but could we argue, someone in the government argue he's a point and take him out? >> it's interesting the donald said that. that's prohibited under the constitution, but it's not in the mind in this administration because this administration has argued that it can kill americans when it is impossible or difficult to arrest them and they are aggressively harming the united states. >> so extreme and awful. >> well, i know. >> it's repellant. it's unconstitutional. it's prohibited by treaties and by federal statutes. it exposes the president's, in my view, the president once he leaves the white house, but in his mind, he can do it. i disagree with the end result, but it's consistent with president obama's. >> you've been fantastic. >> this case is great for television. whatever the outcome, whatever you think of snowden and the nsa, it's great for television. >> thanks, judge. >> pleasure. >> advances in technology make life easier and convenient for everyone, but there could be a dark side to it all called
