meantime, the president is not studying down for a one-on-one with the russian president putin while in the country for the g20 summit next month. last night, the president offered this tape to jay leno on our relationship with russia. listen to this. >> there's there have been times where they were in the cold mentality, and what i say to them and putin is that's the past, and, you know, we have to think about the future, and there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to cooperate more educatively than we do. >> bringing in michael, senior political analyst at the washington examiner, a fox news critter, michael, standing up to russia, finally; right? >> well, finally president obama came to office, pledgedded for a reset of relationships with russia. he evidently had the view then that president bush is a texas
11:03 am
primitive mindless conservative and adopted cold war abuse and repelled the modern up to date russian. looks like he had something of an education. president bush had a positive impression of putin when he met him as he related to the book "decision points," and clearly changed his minds. it's taken president obama a little longer to do so. dagen: is it a waste of time to go to the g20 summit all together, michael? >> well, is it a waste of time to go to the g20 summit? i've never been to a g20 summit, so i have not -- dagen: for the president. >> it's probably a waste of time. we have, you know, it's an odd collection of countries in here. we got argentina in there as one of the supposedly most developed countries in the world, which is pathetic joke, sorry to say, sorry for the people of argentina, and russia is the host, which is become kind of a
11:04 am
thugocicrity, but it gives the president the opportunity to cultivate personal relationships with other leaders, and that could be useful for him to do. dagen: in terms of our frosty relationship with russia, what can unthaw it? is there anything? do we need to worry about that? you can pick up a host of problems and issues we had with the country in recent years. >> well, president obama came to office assuming if he kissed the nether regions of putin, he would be rewarded, and putin would be a handsome prince or something of that equivalent. he did the kissing, but the nice president putin is still missing. we abandoned missile defense installations in poland and czech republic, two countries pursuing democratic courses, very good friends of the united
11:05 am
states, hillary clinton, secretary of state, placed a call to the president from poland at midnight, refused to take the call, and i don't blame him a bit. the idea that if we were nicer, sweeter, made concessions to putin, his russia would be our phren was a fallacy from the beginning, and it appears that president obama has finally figured that out. it took him longer than it took jimmy carter to learn about the communists. dagen:ments to avoid another photo op like in northern island sitting in the chair next to putin looked, well, laughable, absolutely laughable, was it not? >> well, it's, you know, russia is a much less important country in the world as it is today than 25 years ago when it was one of two nuclear -- antagonistic superpowers. it's got half or less of the
11:06 am
population than it did then. its economic heft, unfortunately, is not strong, and it's exports oil and natural gas when u.s. production of those things is now increasing, and we never needed a reset with russia, and this president has awakened to that rather late in the game. dagen: michael, great to see you, thank you so much for the insight, michael, be well, see you very soon. >> thank you. dagen: so half of the residential mortgage holders in california are underwater, so the city come up with a new idea to prevent these people from going into foreclosure. imminent domain. essentially, the city just takes the loan from the banks if the banks are not willing to work with the city to modify them. this is something that will surely -- i don't want to say "cause temperatures to rise," but end up in courtrooms everywhere. legal analyst for fox news, bob, it's not just richmond, but there's other cities moving, i
11:07 am
think, el monte, california is looking at this. where do they get off? i mean, is there a legal leg to stand on to do this? >> well, the courts are going to decide, dagen, to be honest with you, because this comes from the decision back in 2005, 5-4 supreme court, that sort of allowed private enterprise, if you will, to enter the business of imminent domain. they say, look, lenders, you people, talking about the wall street loans, by the way, not fannie or freddie, you are not willing to reduce, we have blighted areas, we have to save the city, no property taxes, things like this. they believe, municipalities believe, in fact, they have the power under imminent domain, and that's challenged in the courts, believe me. >> well, there's, no north las vegas, where you are, correct, they have moved to do something similar. are you hearing outrage in your community? >> there's already a lawsuit
11:08 am
filed by a lawyer over there, greg smith, who basically said, listen, this action to be even considered by north las vegas, and this is similar, by the way, dagen up in northern california and other municipalities, an abuse of imminent doe nan, violates the taking clause, a due process, all legal things, and bottom line, it's a haven for lawyers that's going to be going around for a long time, and to be lonest with you, the 2005 decision from the supreme court, honestly, dagen, that started crony i'll, allowing for corruption. that's the issue here. what happens, is private investors comes in to buy the loans, and if, in fact, they get the properties, if the homeowner can't qualify, they sell it to somebody else. they will short sell it, and, in fact, the municipalities make money, and everybody makes money going in and out, so they say it's right, but i don't think
11:09 am
imminent domain applies here, honestly. it goes to the supreme court. dagen: what's odd, the towns doing this now, is the housing market is beginning to recover, and many underwater mortgages just with the price depreciation are not underwater any longer, but it kind of -- i guess it goes to your point that there's other motives at play here, not just rescuing homeowners. >> well, you know, if barbara was hearing this, you know, i used the word "bubble," and i think it's fictitious because, for example, in las vegas, there's no inventory. if there's no inventory, dagen, the prices go up. talk about municipalities the, north las vegas, a blighted area, richmond, a blighted area. areas going up are not the areas we are talking about. here's the other downside. dagen, you own a home across the street from where this is happening, an fha insured loan. guess what? your value's under, who saves
11:10 am
you in nobody. when they do these deals in the declarement of domain, your values are equally affected by it. it's not fair. that's under the equal protection argument they argue here in front of the courts. dagen: bob, good to see you. thank you so much for weighing in. always. see you soon, bob. >> thank you. dagen: health records at risk, security lost in the rush to get the president's health care law up and running. the most under appreciated jobs in america. these are people who are irnd -- under paid for work they do. teachers and police officers should be on the list, but you'll be surprised at the other jobs. mannings back at it prepping for the nfl season, but they had time to do this commercial for direct tv. you can't hear it, but you will shortly. it is ridiculous. take a look at the oil markets, tom is coming up to talk gas prices. that's not necessarily good news

overall fuel economy of the american fleet is heading lower which also helps consumption. >> yeah, ben bernanke has really done sort of consumption a favor. he's encouraged people to buy new cars, trucks whatever, and the fleet is much more first time, and it's rolling over, so even if you don't need to buy, let's say, a gremlin or old denim interior vehicle -- dagen: who has that interior? >> they had that gremlin along with the pacer that wayne's world drove in. there's better miles per gallon, 25 in the new fleet now, and if that turns over, we use less, and people over 55 drive less. i'm determined not to do that personally, but that is the largest growing demographic in the country right now. dagen: thanked go. you don't have people hitting the accelerator as they drive into the cafeteria, somewhere, that happens. >> in the left lane with the blinker on, by the way. dagen: all guilty of.

really get considerably below that, that means that we're in a recession. that'll bring us there, and that's not the one thing we want to route for, but i don't think we're looking at the $4 numbers. i don't think we have numbers next year that are is size of this year or last year. modest, but relief, higher prices than a generation ago, but lower prices than seen in 2008 forward. dagen: great to see you. >> nice to be here. dagen: welcome back any time. >> okay. dagen: coming across the bridge from new jersey is a headache. >> sometimes i just want makeup on, so that's it. dagen: now you're going to go party. tom, thank you so much. this generation of family business, johnson outdoors, going strong, a 52% increase in net income despite the chilly recreation cementer. we are live in eagle lake, wisconsin, where i wish i was, with more. hey, jeff. >> ha-ha, well, i bet you do.

the rug? they don't want to know how much we really are in debt as a nation? why is that? >> well, partly, of course, when you look far into the future, the numbers you get are subject to some dispute, and one person might want to make one set of assumptions, somebody else different. they are not quite the hard numbers as the actual debt outstanding, but they are very significant, and pretty much any way you look at these, there's no concluding anything other than the fact that the u.s. population is aging, fewer people working, fewer people receiving benefits, a major, major fiscal challenge. dagen: speaking of the challenge, do you believe that politicians will take on that challenge and move to fix this amount of money and reduce it? reduce the obligations that the country has? >> i don't see that happening. i think a lot of us hope that it would, but the issue is that this is not a crisis.

setting a new 52 week high. we will be watching disney in 15 minutes, they miss yesterday and we will be talking about that but otherwise tracy byrnes. tracy: every morning. see you tomorrow. dennis: ben bernanke and company have done a good job keeping on track. richard ville monday joins us now. if you were given the fed a report card you say actually they have done some pretty high marks in keeping the economy, housing, the banking sector and inflation back on track so i assume you are not buying the bearish arguments that fed capering killed this rally and saying the economy? >> no way. i love the armchair quarterbacks that have been criticizing ben bernanke over the years. got to justify this results they created. five years ago today we were sitting on the press of this of an economic collapse and and where are we today? we have economic growth.
12:02 pm
is a perk? it is a little slow. maybe 2% by the second half and hopefully 3% next year. we have low inflation, something people who were anti ben bernanke and company were screaming about, that the q e infinity would create hyperinflation, none of that happened. we have inflation that is extremely low, the banking sector on the edge of getting nationalize five years ago is doing great and the housing sector is recovering, people are feeling more confident because housing prices are going up and they're seeing equity on their balance sheet. dennis: y deuce and many people worry this is all just one big hot air souffle created by the fed and low interest rates? >> this is an unprecedented program the fed has put into place and they haven't seen it before but it is not created the conditions people have been worried about which is hyperinflation. dennis: the fed quadrupled the supply of dollars in the world,
12:03 pm
$4 trillion, you would think with that kind of increase in the number of dollars we would have rampant inflation. why haven't we had is that a sign the economy is lacking any demand at all? >> it is not a sign of that at all. there's a lot more resilience in the economy than people give the economy credit for and we have -- the tactics of work. dennis: windows the fed start capering? if they cut $85 billion in bond purchases to $50 billion it has to be the end of the world, does it? >> paper is a good thing. people are worried about it. the economy is recovering or we're getting off life-support, if the economy was a patient in the intensive care unit at the hospital and they said your mom is doing great we will be able to take off life support and she will go home and a few days, you would be ecstatic and look at where we are, wringing their
12:04 pm
hands about this thing, the economy is getting better is the bottom line, great news. dennis: why is there such a malaise. why don't we get what you are saying? >> people look for things to worry about. that is the situation. the market in june declined substantially when they first announced and they have all time highs and the same might happen now. last couple days and today may be declining initial reaction but ultimately see it as a good thing as the economy strengthens. dennis: you see some glimmering of feeling in europe. do markets realize your main not be as bad off as everyone thought? >> i don't know what the markets think. estate away from anything with additional risk that wants to go to the united states because it looks a girl like a safer bet, but to us we like places like the emerging markets and europe because emerging markets are such a huge disparity compared to here and europe has only
12:05 pm
gotten have the performance of the u.s. market so we look there and there are great opportunities. dennis: thanks for being with us. tracy: the second-largest quarterly profit in history, president obama quotes to shutter the company. peter barnes is in d.c. with the latest. peter: freddie mac reporting a $5 billion net profit in the second quarter and announcing it will pay the treasury, the taxpayers most of that money with the $4.4 billion dividend under the terms of big bailout in 2008, it got $72 billion eventually from the treasury as part of the bailout, has repaid $41 billion of that and could repay most of the rest when it decides to make an accounting decision about a $28.6 billion
12:06 pm
deferred tax benefit, tax losses it could not use when the company was in the tank so it banked them on its balance sheet and held them in reserve and housing markets on fire, fannie mae reversed its tax benefit paying the treasury department a $60 billion dividend. freddie did not do that for this quarter but experts expect it will soon. >> you might think some of these that they have taken might go back the other way with mortgage rates going up, they will be reporting profits for several quarters to come. dennis: from the earnings statement the company says if the housing market continues to improve the company's positive trend in book and taxable income continues, the company retains its positive outlook for taxable income than freddie mac
12:07 pm
mayoralties that benefit in 2013. tracy: one could hope, peter barnes, thank you very much. the government as peter alluded to spend $190 billion to freddie mac and fannie mae, estimated $1.7 trillion on housing overall under president obama and all is great ideas and we are seeing a housing recovery nominee president programs have fallen flat. joining us now, the housing website that constantly tells me what is not worth a lot. we have modified loans, first-time home buyers, dumped so much money into it. you think those programs other everything that housing market is moving. >> it is mostly because of the market itself, prices fell so much and rates have been so low. that housing market and the jobs
12:08 pm
market, the best thing in fact that the administration did for the housing market was the stimulus because that helped give a little bit of a tail wind to the overall economy and boosted housing demand and fell short of expectations but it is less about keeping people in their homes and more about giving more spending money to help stimulate the economy. but overall if the price reductions we have seen that have encouraged investor activity in buying and low mortgage rates have meant buying a much cheaper than renting even though lots of people ask whether to rent versus to buy and mortgages so tight. tracy: where is the incentive for the bank? we are trying to encourage banks to lend six weeks until tuesday but where is the encouragement out of the bank when interest rates are so while why what i as a bank wants to lock my money in with you for 30 years at 3% when i can throw it to my trading desk and make more money? >> there have been huge
12:09 pm
financing, but rates have gone up more than a decade and the past couple months there's a big question for banks. what id they do when his refinancing demand does that open up more capacity to start right more home purchase loans? a lot of people hope that is what banks will do almost because financing dries up, more capacity and also because we are hoping there will be greater clarity and certainty around mortgage regulations starting next year. we will have to wait and see what the impact of these new rules that let out more clearly the financial and legal risks banks take when they write mortgages that are deemed less saved but hopefully that will open more lending. tracy: we don't want to go back to where we were. we can harken back to 2008 again. the president gave a big speech, and talking about getting rid of fannie and freddie, that is a political football nobody wants
12:10 pm
to touch. what did you think of what he had to say? >> this shows how different the housing market is that was a year ago. foreclosure prevention would have been at the top of the agenda. defaults are falling, foreclosures are falling, rising prices give people incentive to stay in their homes, that is down on a list. what is at the top of the agenda is more mortgage credit, continued refinancing expansion and also the president is concerned about moral hazard. and responsible homeowners, responsible borrowers, responsible families and clearly government policy isn't designed to help irresponsible families. tracy: wasn't in the beginning and everyone and buyers. we got to wrap this up but one thing missing yesterday was mortgaged interest reduction. no one is talking about getting rid of that. is it because housing lobbyists said too strong to let it go to view >> mortgage interest deduction is a political hot potato, of the few areas that could be
12:11 pm
bipartisan agreement and the tax reduction debate but fundamentally it is a question of how much we value homeownership and investing in housing versus preventing taxpayers from being on the hook to the next melt down. tracy: there lies the question. thank you for being with us today. >> the plan to make solar panels agreeing to sell that business, but first solar cutting yearly profit forecasts. charles payne says there's still money to be made in that sector. tracy: cyberfred, the higher one for google and roy users, tom kellerman is here, tell us what we have to look out for but as we do every day at this time of day take a look at how energy is trading. oil down, look at that. almost $105 a barrel, down from that height of 108. we will be right back. with the spark miles card from capital one,

dennis: to the floor of the stock exchange adam shapiro is down there. >> i love the smell of money in the morning, smells like victory. the move the lone ranger will take at $190 million loss and their earnings reports, shares leading the losers on the dow, down 2.5% of 39%, disney down, and essentially flat,$.8 million, revenue up 4.4%. and it missed what the street was expecting, shaving 12 points off of the dow which as we look is down 72 points. tracy: they are jammed. tracy: not the all-time high in recent weeks, coming down from a little bit. disney is getting big.

12:17 pm
and that is a terrible sign, the bottom line was hit so hard. castro was so so. you talk about this with ge when a company buys something and uses its own stock,.4 s shares, what people are saying is you have more faith in holding cash than your own stock. if it was going to go up in value i would rather give way cash which gets eaten away by inflation rather than giving the stock unless they don't have cash and the seller refused to take cash instead of taking your business. >> also they had a shelf offering, talk about a lot of pollution, two quarters in a row. the average selling price of these modules has been going down for a while but the rate of that going down has slowed dramatically. maybe it hit the bottom.
12:18 pm
