[opening bell rings] >> i think competition will be good it will keep the oil price down. we can't afford to pay higher oil prices especially with 1 1/2% gdp looks as though politicians in mexico are getting rid of a single-payer oil industry and opening borders to competition which will be a good thing for the price of oil and the consumer. charles: only took them 75 years to have a epiphany, you know what? maybe open to the private sector and ingenuity and innovation could actually help them. >> they have been growing so slow over the last 10 years they're looking for anything. i think this is the right way to go. i think it will help the bottom

line sooner rather than later. charles: i think it will be good for american companies. as you heard that was the opening bell, we start, listen, up 13 points. it was a big struggle yesterday. a lot of sea sawing back and forth. i want to get back to larry ellison. he told charlie rose that apple was not doing so good without steve jobs. how is it doing this morning. >> apple is 8% of the nasdaq of the that is one of the reasons the nasdaq was up a little bit yesterday when the dow and s&p were down. apple is down 1% to 471 this morning. this is a stock when everything is up big-time, apple is down 12% in 2013, charles. charles: although mounting a pretty nice stealth rally in last couple of months. >> it certainly has. everyone is expecting september 10th, new iphone, it will have fingerprint security. what else we're getting excited about it. there is competition out there and apple is a different company without steve jobs. charles: i think we all agree to
9:32 am
that thanks a lot. we have two big names that you know right now. look at them. tesla shares, getting a bump from ceo elon musk. his plans for mass transit of the future. every time musk is in the news all his stocks roushly go up. activist investor bill ackman is not having a great year. he resigned from the board of jcpenney and told us, this is what they talked about. that there is now a large shareholder, one of the outside observers digging at him, this outside of outside observe irof jcpenney. he is a shareholder but no longer on the board. kfc parent yum brands last month, in fact a big slide. lauren, what are those shares doing? >> yum! brands is having a rough day. the shares are down, charles, about 3%. look the local media in china saying it is hottest july in 140 years. kfc, 6,000 of them, owned by yum! brands in china? where is their cold drinks and ice cream? they're not advertising the
9:33 am
right way. couple that with the avian flu scarce and poultry supply they have a big issue. this company has not normalized yet. yum! brands is a loser today. charles: yum! brands depends on china more than any other country. they have some pr work to do there for sure. by the way, one more stock, lauren. eli lilly, good news on one of the lung cancer drugs? >> experimental lung cancer drug, eli lilly up 3 and 3/4%. a big winner. charles: thank you very much. to the war of words between kris jenner and president obama. here is what the president said to get yeper so fired up. quote, kids were not monitoring every day what kim kardashian was wearing or kanye west going on vacation thinking somehow that was the mark of success. kardashian is jenner es daughter. here is how jenner fired back. >> i wasn't aware you could only set the bar so high and that we could only dream so big.
9:34 am
i was taught dream big, work hard, and you could have whatever you wanted. [cheers and applause] charles: everybody's fired up. see if it fires up my man keith fitz-gerald because he joins the company. keith, want too get your thought on that, that whole back and forth there. >> i tell you what, i think the president screwed up because it is not presidential whether you agree with them or not to go after something personally or someone personally. would i like to think american children have something better to do than watch those two. jenner is right, you work hard and watch the fruits of labor. whether or not that is in the public eye, who am i to say. charles: the president always talks about expanding middle class. moving it outside ways and bringing people from the bottom into the middle class. he never talks about shooting for the moon, shooting for the stars. in my mind a country that has limits will be a limited country. we used to be the land where milk and honey. we thought that the sky was the
9:35 am
target. that, you know, the idea that the president has his utopia that we're all in some sort of crunched up middle class. >> that is the real issue here. you can come to america for several hundred years and make whatever you want. you can build your destiny, build your future and you can shoot for the moon because that is what the american dream is all about. for him as a sitting president of the united states, hey, you can only set the bar this high i think is a tremendous slap in the face and removes hope from every young person in this country frankly. charles: you know what? i'm inclined to agree with you as well. real quick on the market correcting, a lot of scuttlebutt about it last week. mark farber and other articles in the social media. what do you think, what do you feel? >> look, the markets come up to, flirting near record levels. these are natural adjust points the markets have a little give-and-take. tread carefully. do you want big knee-jerk decisions? absolutely not. we're long overdue on a
9:36 am
correction. that depends on uncle ben bernanke what he does or doesn't do. that is where the market tenor is right now. be prepared. charles: there is distinction between a correction and a massive crash a lot of doomsayers are saying. keith, i need you to stay right there. new rumblings about a possible ipo for twitter. want to find out if you're buying it? >> no, i don't and i'll tell you why. investment bankers make money. early investors make money. angel investors make money. guys come to the table and buy on an ipo, lately they haven't made money. i would be staying clear of that one. >> if it is done right, facebook was not done right. facebook was a brilliant company and they squeezed every single kernel and nickel they could from the public. some people say they were smart in this respect but they were dumb in that respect that a lot of americans might have been more earn thousand as i can about the stock market in general if that was a smoother ride. how should twitter go about it? should they try to squeeze every
9:37 am
nickel and let the stock trade up to 45 the same day and get a trading range and everybody one feels like you know what, there is money to be made for all? >> that is a very valid question, charles. frankly i don't know the answer. the question of an ipo, is it a quick rich scheme or is it value investing? when we look at companies historically, microsoft, intel there, was a lot value. social media i don't know that you can make the same argument. why i generally steer clear on those things. charles: why they squeeze every nickel they can on the first dave things. keith, talk to you soon. guys, look at this, this is a 3-d printed dress. the new technology is exploding getting cheaper by day. at 10:00 a.m. the designer that made the dress. of 3-d printed clothing he says for everyone could be just around the corner. time for your seven early movers. we're up a little bit. maybe i have seven. look at x-1. this is 3-d play.

in. it is still coming in positive. stuart: charles: the economy is still pumping along. that is the view could describe it. the new york times reporting the obama administration is delaying another provision of obamacare dealing with consumer protection part of it that limited your out-of-pocket costs, feeling a push to defund the health-care law. senator jim demint telling lawmakers to take a stand, quote, politicians who oppose obamacare should not vote to funded. those who wanted socialized health-care system should vote to fund it. there's no middle ground and no place to hide. senator jim demint joining us now. strong words on the eve of a monumental showdown. before we talk about that, republicans themselves are a little split. a lot say the fund and others say the way. there is the problem delaying it? >> we are talking about the same thing. if we don't fund it on an annual
10:01 am
appropriation bill it will be delayed a year but the bill is clearly unfair, and affordable, and popular, and increasingly unpopular as people find out what is in it and the president is giving congress a waiver, unions waiver, and big corporations but the individual americans are stuck with this thing starting oct. first. charles: to your point the latest gift, this is amazing and you must have read about it but there was going to be a limit on out-of-pocket expenses, individual would be $6,350 for family, $12,700. because computer systems aren't ready to go insurance companies i going to be allowed in some cases to lift those limits and sometimes they won't have a limit. back to your point, insurance companies get a pass. big labor gets a pass, unions are getting a pass. everyone getting a pass exit the
10:02 am
average person sitting at home watching the show. >> you are right. either we should all live hundred or no one should. this bill is not good for america. it is going to hurt our health-care system, hurt millions of americans. 0 you have to do is look at britain to see how this evolves. the strategy i have heard from some republicans is let's fund it, that americans will see what a mess it is and we can repeal it later became can't repeal it wants the private insurance market dries up, once employers drop their plans. there is nowhere to go but a single payer system and harry reid has already said that. they know this bill is going to collapse and we will end up with totally government health care. that is not what americans want. charles: let's talk about more realities, back to the republican side. if the plan is to go after the continuing resolution and stop this government in its tracks, stop paying bills in its tracks,
10:03 am
the president would say hold the economy hostage do you think we have enough members who can stand that kind of p r he's? >> that is the question. republicans have the courage of their convictions. just about every republican in the house and senate has run their campaign on stopping the obamacare, pledging to fight to stop it. of republicans in the house of representatives passed a bill that funds the government in its entirety except for funding obamacare than the president has to decide whether to accept that funding or shut the government down. americans aren't stupid. if republicans take a clear message to the american people they are going to figure out the president is setting the government down in order to protect this law that he has given waivers to people who supported it. it is not fair and i think americans need to have this debate and if republicans want to introduce a bill that would delay it for a year that would
10:04 am
be two good choices for us to debate. do we defund it or delay it? i think legislatively, the only way we are going to bring this to a head is for republicans to fund the government but not obamacare. charles: it will be a heck of a showdown and about your fellow former colleagues are saying lo former colleagues are saying you are not for reelection and they would rather be reelected first and then make their stand, get reelected and then get more betsy if you will. >> that is not the way it has worked recently. they told us after 2010 when republicans won the house let's not have the fight now, let's win the presidency and americans were not inspired by that lack of fully. now let's not do anything now but wait until 2014. republicans win a majority they will say let's not do anything now but wait until 2016. october first is when people are

10:19 am
>> that is a possible hypothesis but she mischaracterized citizens united. it says corporations have free-speech, did not say they can contribute publicly to political campaigns. john roberts rose the opinion and president obama went up in the state of the union address that year and mischaracterized it the same way and sam all the no sitting in front of him said the words not true. this points possibly to a reason or incentive the irs had to do what it did but the most important thing we found out since congress started investigating this is not just that the irs is dragging its feet in hand over records requested by the investigative committees and house of representatives but specifically have not yet given those committees the records they requested which would reflect communications between the irs and playhouse. liz: you could see why lois lerner pled the fifth. we talk about how democratic

they don't need food stamps or freed cellphone, americans proud of what they're doing, absolutely not, like ships crossing in the night, absolutely amazing. know what else is amazing? twenty-eight million part-time workers and the minimum wage war that is not letting the. retail and factory workers demanding a minimum-wage be waged to $15 an hour. for receipt of office depot and autos zone joins us now. thanks for your time and expertise. from an economic point of view fifteen hours minimum wage what does that have on every one? >> the american dream has always been about entering the workforce and moving your way up progressively making more and more money so the idea of setting a higher minimum wage seems like the great thing to do and an appropriate thing to do if you want people to live the american dream. the problem is doing so can hurt the very people you are trying to help. when you raise the minimum wage
10:38 am
companies can't afford it and cut back the number of hours, cut back the number of jobs that are created. disproportionately hurts the people who are entering the work force. is proportionately herds certain industries over other industries because if you can move the jobs to lower wage area you will doing so the people in can't move the jobs end up cutting back the hours or automating so if you have people working on a packaging line minimum-wage goes up to $15 an hour maybe that is the economic justification for adding automation and kills jobs. charles: here is the other side of the argument and what we are talking about here. it is fair, second of all it is part of the middle class bargain which hints at some sort of birthright the federal government -- thirdly is in corporate america just greedy? wall street at an all-time high companies lot of money, why
10:39 am
don't they share of a wealth? >> the objectives are great to move people. the problem is you don't want to raise the wage and destroy the jobs they don't have jobs and. if you look at this recovery it is a jobless recovery. we added 162,000 jobs last month, very few years today barely keeping up with a population entering the workforce, 77% of the jobs that have been added this year have been part-time, and if you make it too expensive to add those jobs you will kill the recovery. it will go away entirely and raised unemployment even higher. i think the region deals with the. we are talking the federal minimum wage increase and you have the -- let them deal with the role that the company's deal with it and if you want to watch for $6.50 an hour --
10:40 am
charles: you are talking freemarket solution. that might be too complicated. >> pretty radical. >> how long do minimum wage workers stay in that position, how quickly do they move up the rates. >> the minimum wage folks are people coming out of high school organized for working their way through education or college or your first job out and you tend to move up so what happens is the largest amount of unemployment today is in that group so if you raise minimum wage and take away or destroyed those jobs or cut back the number of hours so there part time when you're doing is raising the unemployment or forcing people to get two part-time jobs to cover what would have been one full-time job. charles: you articulated this in a way that makes sense and is on a standstill being rejected. we need to come back and explain it more than once. appreciate your time this
