"varney and company" is about to begin. ♪ new developments in and

around ukraine. the market does not like it. russian troops lining up at the border, vladimir putin says there will be consequences if ukrainians go after perot russian forces inside the country. john kerry says if russia ignores the agreement to be escalate the crisis it would, i am quoting now, not just be a grave mistake but inexpensive mistake. he is threatening more sanctions. what is the financial response? the russian stock market is in free-fall, standard and poor's cuts russia's debt, it is one notch above junk. moscow hikes in interest rates. look at that, the dow a big triple digit loss, nasdaq down big as well. sandra smith, america's love with me. the market, america's market is down because of russia. >> it is on the rate of the nasdaq is leading the sell-off

-- stuart: amazon is down. >> that is a special case, one of the leading things in the nasdaq. i am not going to eliminate the possibility ukraine is causing some selling. it is in the back of everybody's mind if you're going to buy into this market, major tensions geopolitically. stuart: gold is up $10, gold is up. russia, clearly hurting financially. john kerry friends were sanctions. pressure on russia could work? >> if we had actual sanctions on russia, yes, they be. president obama is not cutting off russia from the system. russia's behavior, i think that is where the word comes from. begging for more sanctions.

begging for more help. stuart: you can still move money around the world very very easy. i put it to you. if you did interrupt the system, there would be significant fallout here as well. >> what do you prefer? i think i would prefer the latter. stuart: what will happen here? >> if there is any major destruction, oil would be bid. oil is down in today's trading session. stuart: let's move to individual

stocks. we mentioned amazon. down. i mean way down. we have the same old story with amazon. another example of that. big news that amazon is testing its own delivery network. sandra, they want to take the package that is delivered to you the last mile. sandra: they want more control. their profits were up 23%. $20 billion in sales. the prophets were a measly 108 million. what is cutting into that? delivery costs. they are trying to get a grip on that. it is missing a major debt in their profits. stuart: they plugged everything back into the business. now, it is not working for them.

sandra: have to do something about those shipping costs. sandra: this also enables them to deliver same-day. things that are making the shipping world completely come positive. >> they force other companies to compete and compete more efficiently. they will force them into bigger losses. maybe we will finally have a conversation in washington. stuart: do you want to traumatize them? it may force us to have a discussion about that and that is a good thing. stuart: whether or not amazon could or should by the u.s. postal service and take it over. i do not think that they will.

i have a couple more big names. we followed them closely. it is a mere $0.02 higher. 39.88. pandora cut its losses. listener growth disappointed. down it goes. nicole, ford motor company. i have to believe the stock is down. nicole: the stock is down. we know that the f series continues to do so well.

courting people like you. millennial's. >> yeah, it is really interesting. many of the engagements are at college universities. wednesday, she went to uconn. talking basketball. really trying to be likable with these millennial's. in addition to hillary, the super pack is ready for hillary. brought on board rachel schneider. obama's national youth coordinator. she has already set up hillary organizations. they are already working from the bottom up. i am not sure republicans are putting in the same effort. >> i have to believe that hillary clinton is the front runner. >> mullaney earls view her favorably. with that being said, i really

think that going into college campuses, this is what needs to be done. they recruit officers and they have this group of support. it is a really good idea. stuart: are you tempted to go out and get a government job, in which case, you would qualify for the forgiveness of your student loan debt in a few years. >> my belief is really the private sector is the way to go. i want to go out. i want to earn. i want to put my skills to use.

i do have student loan debt. i can sympathize with a lot of these millennial's. c 2 to go into politics? do you go into television? who wins? >> i could be pulled either way. stuart: you could have my job if i am not careful. >> no, stuart, you are great. stuart: bad news for the housing market. rising interest rates. sandra: it has gone up substantially. we saw interest rates shoot up.

>> this is not a real market. look, my fear is that if we do see this, you will see washington step in and say no. please go out and start lending again. that is what i watch. stuart: it does not look like we have it right now.

324 million -- >> they brought this case to state court. the defendants have that option. it is under a state antitrust action. stuart: why did they settle for a lousy $324 million? >> the case is not quite as strong as you would think. there were two claims. we colluded not to hire each other's employees. the fact of the matter is, while i agree with you, i think if you crunched crunch the numbers and found out he was underpaid what, it probably attracts the settlement. they sued for 3 billion. guess what, you can triple the damage.

forward to maybe 3% growth. you got to walk away from that. >> it trickles down to all parts of the economy. people don't buy furniture, building, a lot of things it impacts. stuart: all right. thank you for joining us. we were surprised by this news. i was surprised at the headline in the wall street journal, home loan demand plunges. >> very surprising. stuart: thank you very much, appreciate it. stock of the day, amazon down really big despite a jump in its profit. the problem, they put all the money they earned straight back into the company. in specific i got this news from amazon. is testing its own delivery network. it wants to take your package the last mile. from the warehouse right to your house, cutting out the upss and fedex of this world. jeremy, maybe this is a dumb question, why not just by the postal service?

>> great question. build in infrastructure that reaches every house in america, just capitalize on that. i was away on a little vacation trip. i had waiting for me a stack of catalogs, direct mailingss, credit card offers none of which i really wanted. amazon wants to start fresh with something just for them that supplies only their product. a great little model. stuart: an extraordinary thing. they spent an arm and a leg on these warehouses. they have gone from 50 to 100 distribution centers in three years. they have invested heavily in a competing system, on robots and now they're going to buy a bunch of trucks because the truckers take it to your house. that is an extraordinary investment. >> it is interesting because think about the products they're -- services co. an entirely new business. brooklyn brewery makes beer in brooklyn. when they started they didn't have a distribution network. they build one and it is a bigger business than the actual

sales of beer. the distributor the people's beer. perhaps amazon is looking to create a second fantastically giant business for themselves. stuart: they should buy the post office. that was the teeth to get it into the interview. i have other stuff in a moment. another tech name moving big time. pandora is down, way down. not enough people have signed up to listen in to the radio service. how bad is it? nicole: stocks down 13%, exactly what the options traders, 13% move either way, to the downside, the ones making money on this today. pandora right now 2442. you are right. they do have the advertisers, they do have listeners but not enough to impress wall street. several analysts cutting price targets.america merrill lynch kept their buy rating and rbc cut the outperform rating, the slowest target. stuart: you use pandora, don't

you? >> no. stuart: when you don't? nicole: i know i should. maybe we should sign up. stuart: there isn't a musical bone in my body as everyone knows. dow is down 116 but look at microsoft. higher profits. i do own a few shares of microsoft. we are cheering. it is up in a down market. look at least of. that is a big drag on the dow industrials. it is a dow stock and it is down 3.5%. at last count that contributed 50 down points for the dow industrial average. look at the big board, down 114 points. we were down 150. come back a little bit. ukraine tensions, vladimir putin, all of that apparently one of the major reasons we have this, not a major sell-off. we can have 0.69%. back to technology, facebook is buying a fitness tracking apps

called moves. could be a sign they are trying to break into the wearable technology field. you love this kind of stuff but i got to put it to you. nike just walked away from that whole market. they are not going to do that. >> they are up in the air. stuart: thinking about moving out of it. i don't think that is a viable product. don't know how many people i have spoken to who bought one don't use it anymore. reminds me of exercise machines which end up in a broad scale. >> a couple years back we never used again. i will tell you look what i have brought in to show you. the entire world is getting into this market. look at this. smart watches. i have reviews of these. stuart: i want to get a short of that because you are where all kinds of stuff. >> every tech companies getting into these things. that is why there are so many. stuart: that is the real watch. >> that one actually works.

stuart: what is the other when? smart watches? >> two from samsung. this is the basis band which gets your heart rate and monitors your sleep patterns. they do everything. stuart: who cares? you buy them and discard them because you get tired of them. >> i don't thing so. there's a reason companies like facebook and as big as nike are gambling on this, pulling back a little bit but this is really going to be a big part of the future. stuart: why? no one is going to wear two watches? >> i talked to a tech friend of mine is as she does do that at the gym. deegan i am not going to do that. stuart: i know a few in my time. different from you and i. >> what we are going to see is some interesting takes. this one, see if i can do it in time. shouldn't be showing off but it pops out a few concede this.

july and director, it pops out. >> instead of a watch like this you wear it in a laughing. there really is a feature in these things. stuart: i am totally skeptical. hold on a second. one more. got to get back to those e-mails from steve jobs that surfaced during the silicon bay lawsuits. it was a lawsuit. one e-mail sent from google's eric schmidt said he fired a recruiter who was going to try to coach apple employees, jobs for the bad e-mail to his age artie with the smiley face attached to the. we will fight this guy and steve jobs is ecstatic. he really was -- got another one for you. got to read this properly. an e-mail sent from steve jobs,

if you hire a single one of these people, that means war. steve jobs doesn't come out looking like a very nice guy. and he wasn't a very nice guy to work for with. >> no. no. he was a caustic genius let's say. let's be honest was brilliant but also a tyrant. it wasn't just steve or apple, and couldn't coach employees from each other. as the business i understand that but as an employee, one of the people looking at these, i can't get a job at google because apple doesn't want to let me. stuart: they suit, these e-mails he emerged, tech companies, four of themselves on the wall street

journal. $24 million. the people who fire this it wanted $3 billion. a great deal of money to take out of the apples of this world, $10 billion or whatever it is. >> it is the same--it ties back to the non competes everyone signs when they joy of for a company especially high-tech companies, i promise i will never work for my competition. i understand where the companies and coming from you have to sign with the employees in this case. you can't go get another job because they are preventing this. on a corporate level. stuart: as one of our viewers that one not just put them on a contract? macon's on a contract are here for two years at x amount of money and can't leave without two years being up, put them on contract. >> this is in addition to that. a senior level thing. we have steve jobs saying i am going to abide by these things and they go to a lot of tech companies. stuart: thank you very much

stuart: a pitcher with the new york yankees suspended for ten games after pine talk was found on his neck. brian kilmeade joins the company now. that is really not a serious penalty to pay. he clearly had the pine tar. anyone can see is this wishy is suspended for ten games. the only missed two games but he was cheating. >> you are right. how ridiculous it was his attempt at cheating where he was

almost caught ten days ago and goes back to fenway park after being heard for two legitimate years coming back, this guy was in spring training for the new york yankees outside tanaka. look how the new york post is handling it. fool on the hill. this is not nice. this is saying are you crazy? how can you put that on the back of your neck with 50 cameras on live national televised -- stuart: before he did that he said hi to somebody. he got the kind car in his hand, consistent cheating. >> give of two runs, a little concerned about gripping the ball. it is an embarrassment. to the yankees credit they say they are embarrassed. not trying to cover for him. stuart: next one still on sports. >> did you just blow up my opinion? you don't like the story? stuart: i don't think you were going far enough. >> how dare he did something like that. stuart: northwestern university

football players voting on whether to joy union. which way do you go? >> there has to be a way to pay the top revenue generating top athletes but not through a union. i don't want to see the players union a bunch of 17 and 18-year-olds led by an expense of high-priced lawyer tell the n.c.a.a. how it should be done. you cannot treat them like pros, the unions look to maximize their health benefits, maximize their pay and that is not in the best interests of college football, college baseball, college basketball. stuart: when european soccer on a rise in america. i am told by my producer rival deal with that later in the hour. are you coming back? >> if you have me. stuart: he is staying in that seat while i do a separate interview and then we go back and european soccer. you are going to stay. stuart: stay right there. everything you want to do you can do on line and our next

we try to give good value, we build packages people pay what they would in the restaurant and it is not about a discount, it is about our tools. stuart: i have got used. i prepay. i come to your web site, you organize the event. i prepay and you go to the restaurant and say you have a few tables through their, a bunch of guys want to come, you give me a discount, you get the discount. >> we do make our money from bringing business to our partner network. we build schools and people would come end we could drive great business to our partners. stuart: how old is a gaggle.com. >> we launched in may of 2013 but we have been up and running for six months. stuart: how many customers have you got? >> we have done over a thousand in the city, over 60 partners we work with, we are growing rapidly and excited about it.

stuart: specialize in new york city. >> and hampton's last summer with eyes toward expanding in other cities in the future. stuart: when you own the whole thing. >> i work with partners, of former colleague of mine, mike mulcahy. stuart: a third of it? >> more than that. it was me when i started by myself. stuart: half of this thing? what did you sell? >> depends what the number is. stuart: $10 million. stuart: why not? >> i am a young guy. not ready to hit the golf course. i want to turn a few more cards on $10 million. stuart: $50 million. >> i would think about it. stuart: cash. >> i don't think so but if we could bring $50 million into the business and i could still run and be involved this is my life's work and i'm not ready to leave it behind the we could do a lot with $50 million. the cliche answer might be to say yes or say no but we could do a lot. stuart: i ask this question of

everyone. >> i've is excited u.s.. i was ready. stuart: our producers said varney will ask that question. you knew it was coming. what you did was the exact opposite answer to what many people do. they say no, i am in this to save the world. i am interested in helping people. stuart: we help people plan social events and bring people together but it is a business and we can do a lot of great things to further our business with an amount of money. stuart: when you are the salvation army by different name. kevin mulcahy. is that right? >> you got it. stuart: it is un nice product. >> really appreciate it. thank you for having me on. stuart: the sierra club, hypocrisy and gas guzzling cars. my take on that is next.

why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york? i tell people it's for the climate. the conditions in new york state are great for business. new york is ranked #2 in the nation for new private sector job creation. and now it's even better because they've introduced startup new york - dozens of tax-free zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years.

you'll get a warm welcome in the new new york. see if your business qualifies at startupny.com xfinity watchathon week was the biggest week in television history. but just when you thought it was over... what now? with xfinity on demand you can always watch the latest episodes of tv's hottest shows. good news. like hannibal... chicago fire.... ...and bates motel. the day after they air. xfinity on demand.

victory, great for golf and shows the sport can thrive without tiger woods. the pga of america president joins us in a couple minutes right here. you do have to practice what you preach. if you tell others to do something you better follow your own advice. if you make policy for others you better support that policy with your own actions. if you don't you could rightly be called a hypocrite. here is my take. i am going to pick on the sierra club, an environmental activist group, specifically i am going to pick on them for not practicing what they preach, gas guzzlers, mpg. the sierra club is big on this, they supported president obama's command that automakers get their fuel economy average of to 54 mpg. the sierra club has a ton of

money and put it all behind leftists who just love to tell us what kind of car we ought to drive. and enterprising conservative group, the mind mental policy alliance checked into the vehicles this year club executive board actually drive. 15 board members, top guys, 32 vehicles registered to them, they found seven suvs, two gas guzzling luxury jaguars and an average mpg reading about half what the president is aiming for. this is the group that called climate change a threat to our children and the threat to the planet as we know it. if it is that bad why don't they take the action they recommend for others? why are there any gas guzzlers driven by their top people? i get a little tired of this. they tell us what to do but they do the opposite. they set national policy and

ignore it. the policies which they spend big money to promote costs as a ton and we have got to pay it. no choice. why do you think gas in california is $4.20 a gallon. please. can we change course? can we stop giving so much power to hypocrite's? probably not but you know, you can't keep america down forever. i hope sooner rather them later the hypocrite's will be swept aside. i live in hope.

stuart: major league baseball ratings and ticket sales have been on the decline. at the same time european soccer continues to grow in popularity in the united states. saturday and sunday morning on network tv. brian kilmeade still here. is my premise correct? european soccer on the rise, based on the decline. >> they spend that money on a property, stocks got the world cups and nbc, european soccer, premier soccer going through the roof and shocking everybody, it is fantastic but not really related to the fact that baseball is at a slow start.

i don't think the american sports fan is making a choice. i knew this was happening five years ago because i have been around a soccer community but i have known soccer players, not soccer enthusiasts talking about these games, the champions league, whatever they going to do with all the middle eastern money, wait a second, you don't play, follow the game. people wants to see the action. stuart: you can watch the best players from the best teams in the world, said back and watch them on tv. that is very attractive but i am told tickets for the world cup final in brazil in early july, they go for more than super bowl tickets. >> we don't know who is going to be in it. super bowl tickets feet up,

certain people will go. it is going to go on for three weeks and you get a chance to see the story lines built. if they are going high now, you will be through the roof. as far as brazil, sacrificing the entire infrastructure, they will never use again. that is another story. everyone is keyed up for it. if you put the u.s. in the semifinals or quarterfinals, there will be abuzz about american soccer. stuart: a huge boost for major league soccer and united states. >> most of these players are playing in america and begin to selva sport and watch it and it is steady and here in european soccer is coming. stuart: i you done with this? >> cleaned up. you are still on the show. don't move. >> you seem disappointed. have you read your run down? says i'm saying the whole block unless you want me out of here.

that he rented the space or something? have you ever seen someone so anxious to get me out? you asked me over. stuart: your cutting into the time of the next guests of the quiet. bubba watson came away with the second masters earlier this month for the big story that came out of the tournament, the masters was the absence of tiger woods. ted bishop is with us, pga america's present trying to get a word in edgewise while brian kilmeade dominates the show. welcome to the program. >> i love hearing this soccer talk. tiger woods and play in the masters. the ratings went down. that is bad news for golf. you need the guy. >> golf needs tiger woods. the other thing that impacted the ratings this weekend, the first night weekend of weather that we had across the northern half of the united states, a bigger factor than tiger's absence. stuart: ratings or down over

four year period, 20, 40, 30% depending on the day. really surprises me because that final day i watched a gripping tournament. that was having a go with bubba watson. that was terrific. >> was but it is not the first time tiger woods has been absent from the game. there are other factors but that being said, he is important to the sport and we need him back. >> another major win for him needs consistency, rivalry. phil mickelson is almost there. when tiger woods wins phil mickelson is here in terms of importance but i need to see him win again and i want to see the matchup and same thing, matchups, great quality but we got to know the guy. stuart: when you got to love bubba watson after he won the game, he goes down with his son

in his arms, with that crowd. that makes him an attractive personality. >> i think there is a big segment of the population that relates to a guy like bubba. it is a blue collar segment but an important part of golf. it was a good win in that regard. stuart: what you doing to get youngsters into the game? >> a couple great programs, the pga junior league, golf's version of the league baseball, 7 to 13-year-old, boys and girls that play on the same team, each has a golf shirt with a number on his or her back that promotes the team aspect of it, they played nine hole formats, three holding grumman's, two person scramble and the other thing that took place during the masters, this contest which is again it is going to expand into all 50 states.

we anticipate over 50,000 kids that will participate. stuart: as the little league for baseball that declines. not so many kids play. along comes golf and snatches those youngsters for their sport, you baseball guys got to take a lesson. >> you are taking a listen from team sports, saying instead of a little phenom on the corner of the blocky want to say you could be good and there will be a place for you and will be teammates because that is what kids do. they want to feel a part of something. i couldn't agree with you more. >> having two girls are junior players. back then 15, 20 years ago it was a lonely game. tough to find other girls to play with. to promote the team concept, the social aspect of golf is a huge. stuart: when is tiger coming back? chipping and putting this week. stuart: that is august.

golf club in louisville, ky. >> one of the greatest things of the next decade in sports will be tiger gets close to closing out on the final day for another grand slam. when we see another major go his direction and get close to jack nicklaus the world will be talking again and i think he needs that. stuart: when you can't keep this guy out of an interview. stuart: did you want me out of the interview? stuart: from here on out, brian kilmeade and company. thank you for joining us. here is a headline for you. gold, $5,000 an ounce. what? the real halftime report is next. ♪ [ cows mo] [ sizzling ] more rain...

financial day. the real halftime report, scott kennedy from the stock exchange, nicole petallides, john layfield in bermuda and brian kilmeade you can't get rid of. it is all about russia? >> i will say a little bit russia. we will have more head winds as we get higher and higher. taking positions where they're going to single stock positions, not general overall position that if they have general overall positions, go to general overall safety positions. and a little more cover at these highs, that is what is happening. stuart: russia is making an expensive mistake. >> the only mean one thing, energy. the president says he has sanctions, you got to tease them.

to the red line once, we ignored it. the only thing that will get their attention is energy so it is natural gas, oil, and european allies. they have something on the table, vladimir putin's attention. stuart: what are you hearing on the floor? >> traders focusing on these, that seems to be the number-1 problem here, the dow is down 123 points and is evidenced by the flight to safety. gold up $10 and everyone blocking the treasury, treasury 2.66%, the ten year, nobody wants to take these big stakes out of the week in. stuart: we have got it. more big names, stocks we are watching, amazon with its own delivery network. if they're testing delivery network why not just by the postal service? >> why not? that would be -- what we're seeing with the stock is to the downside, 15 or more analysts cost there price targets with buy ratings, not too hot on the

fact that amazon has a lot of spending on technology. the latest number, the revenue increase is hit hard. stuart: come on in. are you buying amazon at $300 a share. >> i am very tempted. at this point it will be a compelling buy. haven't seen all 13 analysts the downgrade, at the average 39, the lowest price target is $320 with a high of $500 so a lot of people are very bullish on amazon, spending their current profits on future investments. i actually like this strategy. they are trying for world dominance. that is pretty remarkable. stuart: why not? if you can make some money. let's get back to scott. i see oil heading below $100 a barrel. what do you say? >> the worst recession the

country has ever seen. how can anybody expect the u.s. consumer, paying at the pump on a weekly basis and on a table on a weekly basis. food and energy inflation, i can't believe geopolitical tensions, traders behind me say high prices cure high prices. stuart: market watch, peter schiff sees a reckless federal reserve pushing the price of gold to $5,000 an ounce. >> i don't see it. chicken little about the sky falling, i don't see it. in japan they kept it low for the past decade. we're keeping rates low, they got to come up that some point. everybody says that, but rates are artificially low for some time. and go as a safe haven, going where the only thing they are rewarded is the stock market.

stuart: $5,000 an ounce on gold and you say what? >> it won't be long, that means the absolute armageddon, i am going for the farm and throwing up a ten football, have fun with everybody else. stuart: we are getting the message. yesterday we had one of your wrestling buddies on the show, diamond dallas page on the show. hope you can hear this. listen up. your name is? >> diamonds dallas page but most people call me gdp, feel the bad. stuart: the hand action. >> i bring that into my workout. pushing index and farms together reaching the back, come out, hold it up, brother. stuart: all right, i know you saw that. $10 million on yoga. your comment? >> that was a bit out there.
