11:02 am
well. stuart: she has answers today. last time, she did not have answers to the question. why the delay in compensating victims. to some degree, she is ahead of the game. >> she, after the last hearing, said we are just starting and investigation. it will take us a little while to figure out the information. that is what she is doing. stuart: it does look like so far, so good. we will keep in touch with that and see what develops later in the morning. let's go to the markets. hierarchies weighing on stocks.

11:07 am

if i am right, if we are right and iran is playing a dominant role in the iraqi politics, then, presumably, at some point, they can control iraq's oil and use it as a weapon in negotiations. am i too far out with that idea? >> that means you should improve the pipeline immediately and deregulate all of the restrictions we have on future fracturing. move out and become energy independent in three years. we can do that. stuart: general, you are so right. i brought everyone in the news a few moments ago. canada is going to buy the pipeline. the idea that we will build a pipeline, i think that is out the window.

a lot of online ordering helped them as well and they had a good outlook for 2015. analysts on board liking what they're seeing with fedex and moving it to new highs, stock is up 5%. stuart: what a performance. let's get back to mary bara and gm, answering tough questions once again. i have a clip from a couple minutes ago. roll it. >> those deaths occurred because our ship, gm, had some problems that can't be fixed overnight. as gm and skipper, it is upon you. squarely. upon you. stuart: we are joined by congressman pete olsen, the one asking some of those questions. that was a pretty tough question you asked. how do you judge her answer? >> thank you for having me. as a man with six kids he had a
12:05 pm
great sunday. miss ourat a came in, one simple question, tell me how many people have died because these were defective, she said 13. on the wall behind us, 15 photographs of americans killed by these vehicles. that is outrageous. they can't tell us the truth. stuart: what do you want done with general motors? they are not telling us the truth, stonewalling and delaying what do you want to have done with general motors? >> they are making progress. the fact that the outside investigator who got free reign of gm's progress but give us the truth. i want to know how many people died, how many people died because of defective vehicles, that is it. that is all i want to know. stuart: do you think mary bara and general motors wants to limit their liability? if they say it might be 200 dad,
12:06 pm
just supposing they said that, that is unlimited liability. you can't expect them to say that. they have got to limit how much they have to pay out. >> i expect the truth. that is all we are asking for. the truth about these injuries and deaths occurred because of defective cobols. there is a victim compensation fund going on line. how much is that going to be? mr. feinberg, the white in seventh he is in charge of it. that is scary. stuart: how about this for a question? was the bailout of general motors at the time of the government take over the bailout of general motors, do you suspect that they knew about this safety problem but swept it under the rug to get the bailout done? any suspicion like that? >> we just don't know. we are trying to find out the truth. how many people have been killed
12:07 pm
by a defective vehicles the? ranch simple. how many have been injured by defective vehicles? stuart: at 10:00 eastern time you have been here for two hours and are asking questions. what is your judgment of miss bara's responses? >> she has taken charge, results of the for what happened but the bottom line is still it happened. people have died because these vehicles were defective. some people at gm knew that but that didn't get to people who could fix the problem and that is outrageous and we're trying to find out what this happened, make sure it never happens again. stuart: congressman pete olsen, thank you for joining us on a busy day, thank you very much. grover norquist with americans for tax reform in d.c.. i will make a blunt statement. nothing changes. i will not get a personal income tax rate cuts. a company will not get a corporate tax rate cut.
12:08 pm
there will be no change in tax policy period until 2017 and there's nothing you can do about it. >> that is probably true. obama won't sign anything worth having. he has always wanted $1.4 trillion in higher taxes as the price for any corporate tax reform which means you really can't have tax reform. he just thinks it is all hook to get a tax increase. since that is not going to happen, the 50 states are ready action is. you are seeing states like north carolina and kansas move toward zero on their state income taxes. arizona has a governor's rays where most candidates want to go to zero on the state income-tax. you can cut your taxes in the united states, you just have to move to another stage or if your company another country. stuart: here is my problem with
12:09 pm
this. obviously i am with you. i think that if we cut tax rates we will get real growth in the economy, reagan style growth, dynamism. i am with you all the way but i don't think there's anybody putting out that message in a forceful fashion on selling that message to the american people. we are getting the left, much stronger, saying it is not fair. is not fair. income inequality is not fair. i can't move up in the world. their arguments is being made more forcefully than our argument which is cut taxes and grow. >> again, in the states where you can actually pass legislation, most of the republican states, 24 states have a republican house, senate and governor. almost all of those have cut taxes in the last three years, 13 states are run by democrats. they have been raising taxes. they haven't been getting fairness, they haven't been getting less income inequality, they're just getting bigger
12:10 pm
government. these are very live debates at the state level because of the gridlock in washington. the establishment press reading the president's talking points a you are quite right that is the narrative in d.c.. stuart: i have to get your take on the irs. losing lois lerner's e-mails, not just any old e-mails but the ones from her to the white house, the ones from her to congressional democrats and the e-mails of six other irs officials as well, that is breathtaking. i don't know how to describe it. i.t. incredulous any administration would say that kind of thing. >> they have been used to the establishment press buying just about anything but this is rose mary woods and the 18 minute gap in the tapes that richard nixon had. this is oddly enough's a crash of a computer which actually
12:11 pm
makes a hard drive disappear but only specifically for six and seven people who were being asked if we could look at some of their sensitive e-mails. this is clearly a violation of the law. they are obstructing justice. and the nixon people went to prison for this. my guess is they are just hoping they can get past the statute of limitations. stuart: i am hoping they get those e-mails. they are on some server somewhere. >> the nsa must have them. stuart: the nsa must have them. they are useful for something. i am sorry, we are out of time but we got to get the message out there, reagan style growth. stuart: >> i am here on your show. that is our point. stuart: grover norquist, thank you very much. two topics for dr. keith ablow leave red meat for him, the archbishop of canterbury says instant reaction on social media has replaced reflective thought. second story, president

stuart: if you have a computer you know the name adobe. strong profits and that goes the stock. it is 7%, not bad. how about coach? i often called the democratic luxury. it is down. stock is down. barkleys cut its target price. look at that. it is sinking below $40 a share. now this. bill and hillary clinton's support the death tax. that doesn't mean they're going to pay estate taxes. liz macdonald is here to look into that. liz: this from bloomberg news, they broke the news that the clintons have been avoiding taxes with the state, using trusts and things like capital gains taxes so the question is
12:16 pm
hillary clinton has been out there saying we were dead broke, making an appeal to the middle class, not sure you can make these 1% moves and still appeal to the middle class. is this another gaffe on the part of the clintons? ensure appears that way. stuart: just like warren buffett. won't pay estate taxes on his $35 billion, no, he will give it to the bill and melinda gates foundation, give it to charity. liz: bill clinton vetoed an elimination of the estate tax in 2000, still wanted the estate tax and said it is your patriotic duty to pay taxes. again and again we see politicians raising taxes on everybody else but avoiding them in their personal lives and it really is not a great way to go. stuart: i can not spell it but i know hypocrisy when i see it. thanks. now this. the archbishop of canterbury says the rise of social media,
12:17 pm
facebook and twitter, killing quiet reflection and distorting discussions on complex subjects. sounds like what we have been hearing from our own favorite guy who puts people on the couch, dr. keith ablow is with us now. this is right of your tree. i said earlier, i mean no disrespect it is enough to make you an episcopalian but not quite. i know you agree with him. he says all this looking at these things you can't, there is no reflective thought. i say okay, i understand that but these things are here to stay. you can't cut the law. you got to get used to demand incorporate them into your life. right? >> i don't know. we can have technology holidays. we may restrict access to some of these apps or technologies for people under certain age. we need a surgeon general's warning about this.
12:18 pm
the archbishop is saying there is up window here. you only use 140 characters. that is the medium being the message. it truncates discussion. it ceases people being reflective. it stands in a way of that and when you think about the fact that you can instant message anybody any how, you might not even invest a phone call on that person so the whole relationship is a lie. everyone u.s. sending a group e-mail to on father's day, it is a why because it is too easy. you don't care about those people, don't care if they're happy, shut up. stuart: i have to ask this question, may have asked this before. am i a bad father? because one recent day i was watching frozen on one screen with three of my grandchildren, the three grandchildren were watching that scream and also they had their own little screens doing stuff on narrow little screens which i thought that was just fine and dandy.
12:19 pm
am i am bad father? >> you are not a bad father, you are just misguided because we rely on you as an elder statesman of the family to say listen, put away the screens, let's at least pay attention to one thing for a while and by the way we're going to get out and play a game after this is over because that is when we will have fun. takes kids time to get adjusted to that now but it is reality. i caught that. i felt it in my hands. i had to move my muscles and saw my grandfather was proud of me. that is a very different experience. stuart: i will try to learn from your example. >> they should put you more too. you should be dug the lot, you are ambivalent about hugs and you should be at constantly. stuart: moving on. president obama back on the couch. scandal at home, and rest abroad, he goes golfing and attends fancy fund-raisers. put him on the couch. what is he thinking?
12:20 pm
>> things are going well for this president because this president is watching the retreat of america which he has orchestrated from spheres of influence where it belongs. spreading freedom and stabilizing nations so that liberty can grow to the extent he can he roads that weather by laizzez-faire attitude or various mack and asians to which we are not privy but i believe move him, he wins and why wouldn't he go golfing? america is not exerting its influence and that was his goal from the beginning. stuart: fair point. i want to see do you have any reaction to this? the netherlands just on one up against australia in the world cup. >> i think the game will end and a tie, but there will be a threat at the last moment for a 2-1 game but it won't materialize. psychiatrically speaking. if i'm right i will sell my
12:21 pm
predictions. stuart: you probably could. that was fun. clinton, she will run ou. for the presidency in 2016. i say she loses. my take on why. that is next. stuart: australia just legalized, they scored, netherlands won, australia won, out of time, let's go to break. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow.

12:26 pm
alive in the digital age. she has a campaign staff, ready to roll, she has money and she has a book. surely hillary clinton is running for presidency in 2016 ensure the sheet will be the democrats' candidate. can she win? here is my take. my track record in presidential election forecasting is not good. i really thought mitt romney would win. having said that i am prepared to say there are three strikes against a hillary victory. first she is a professional lifetime politician. i don't think america wants and other professional lifetime politician in the white house. the ability to lead is of prime importance. her new book does not outline exactly where hillary clinton would lead america. second, her name clinton. is not the association with
12:27 pm
president clinton that is the problem but the idea of a political dynasty. a bush or clinton has been involved in eight of the last nine presidential elections. a lot of people i saying enough already. third this clinton has achieved very little in her lifetime in politics. as first lady her own version of health care reform failed miserably. as secretary of state not even her own state department could come up with a list of achievements. to be president you need a track record of success and the clear vision of where you want to take the country. let's not underestimate her clear advantages. many people want her to be the first woman in the top job and there are many people who want a moderate democrat in the white house. hillary clinton fills those slots. here is where i come down, 2-1/2 years before the election. america wants competent management at the top. economic growth for everyone, prosperity. surely we have had enough of all
12:28 pm
government all time. that is not what hillary clinton is offering. gender politics, attended san fresen, same old same old. it is not going to cut it. i think she runs, my guess is she loses. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especlly those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoidt

12:33 pm
changing the name. stuart: that was earlier this morning. the democrats collectively want the redskins to change their name. >> they sent a letter to the commissioner asking him to get the redskins to stop the use of the name. this is equal end of an economic sanction, whether or not they will lose money from this move. they can still use their name. there have been counterfeit and knock offs all the of merchandise, i'm not sure how much material impact this would have on the redskins. stuart: we are still mary barra testimony. she is back on capitol hill for round two. any fireworks? >> she went through a grilling. mary barra, a republican out of pennsylvania who runs the subcommittee says he is unconvinced that he thinks there

may have been a cover-up of bad decisions that led to this defect that killed at least 13 people. he still has questions whether gm knowingly covered up prior liability lawsuits what was going on with the defective switch. could they have done a recall and save lives? and a representative says it is alarming most senior executives did not know about the defect that caused dozens of deaths and does not absolve them of responsibility. the last congresswoman i cited was a democrat. stuart: have to look at some of the polls out this morning because they are really interesting stuff here. only 41% say they approve of the overall job the president has been doing.
12:35 pm
i think that matches the low in that poll. only 41% say the handling of the economy is okay. his approval on handling a form policy has hit a new all-time low, 37% city president is doing a good job on that front. we had dr. keith ablow, listen to what he said. >> why wouldn't he go golfing? america is not exerting its influence. stuart: herman cain is with us. for more on that an in what he d about golfing while iraq burns. last night break human said this presidency is failing, it is a failing presidency. that was his precise wording. what do you make of this? >> i think he is absolutely correct. the american people can't hold him accountable because of
12:36 pm
harry reid. remember harry reid controls the united states senate. if the house were to make any sort of charges against the president, they would have to go through the senate. harry reid would much rather talk about changing the name of the redskins then doing his job in terms of helping this economy and helping the president with foreign policy. the other reason this is a failed presidency, this administration has a crisis of crises area did plural when you look at the va, you look at iraq, we have an economic crisis. obamacare is a crisis but they are in denial. even what the epa is doing to put the coal industry out of business, it will create another crisis based upon not proven science. they have a crises of crises. stuart: here's what i am picking
12:37 pm
up from the viewers. intense frustration because the matter what happens this november, there is no serious change coming until january at least of 2017. because even if the republicans sweep the senate this year, they want to do something in the following year with republican house they still face a veto from president obama. i put it to you they are frustrated because there ain't nothing you can do until january of 2017. >> not so fast. let me explain why. in 2014 by taking control of the senate and keeping control of the house, we can slow this administration down. right now we don't have the ability to slow this administration down because of harry reid. before you stop a train, you
12:38 pm
must slow it down. so i believe 2014 is critical, and it will make a difference. stuart: 2014 is absolutely vital, no question about that. what i am saying is you are not going to get an income tax rate cut, a corporate tax rate cut, you will not reverse the epa rules on call, there are all kinds of things. you cannot reverse this until you have got somebody else in real power in 2017. i don't think you will disagree with me on that one. >> oh, no.uf i thought you said some of your viewers thought 2014 won't matter. it will matter a lot. all of those things, that spells this economy is not only going to continue to stall, but i think we're going to see more of what we saw in the first quarter of this year, and that is an economic contraction. all of the things he mentioned spell uncertainty, they spelled

maybe they don't see what they saw the first quarter and maybe would have liked to continue something in terms of additional support or stimulus. anything she says will be very impactful. we will have to keep a close eye on it. stuart: what do you think is going to come up here? >> it is broken because so many excess reserves, the banks have to borrow from each other. we do see inflation creeping into the u.s. economy and how they will deal with that, that is key. stuart: whatever she says today, does the market to up or down when she said it? >> everything positive, nothing the market will dissipate that will be rewarding for the market. she can only step on her own toes and the market will probably suffer from it.
