do not know about so come down and check it out. thank you for having us today. markets are down, it is down decisively, dow jones industrial average down 45 points, as in the and russell 2,000 underselling pressures this morning. thanks for joining us. i will see you after labor day. have a great labor day. time for "varney and company". stuart: stopping gneisses, better yet killing isis. that has become a financial necessity. good morning. ices already brings in $2 million a day from oil. that is financing its terror. the terrorists have their eye on vast oilfields in southern iraq, kuwait and saudi arabia. that is a financial threat to everyone. defense secretary check hegel says isis is, quote, beyond anything we have seen before, worse than al qaeda but the plan is containment. the terrorists are clearly a

security threat. texas governor rick perry says they can come through the porous southern border legally of 1,000 american passport holders among the isis fighters. today wall street is apparently obsessed with the federal reserve. we will concentrate on the threat to your money and your life. "varney and company" is about to begin. ♪ stuart: listen to this. this is what defense secretary check cable set about isis. >> beyond a terrorist group. they mary ideology, sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess, they are tremendously well funded. this is beyond anything we have seen. we must prepare for everything.

stuart: colonel oliver north is with us. if isis is so bad, such a threat, why don't we have a plan to get out there and kill them? >> everybody else has up plan. if you look it david cameron, he came back from his vacation because he thought perhaps, it turns out to be true, the murderer, not executioner, the murder of james foley had a british accent. our president took five minute of his golf game to talk about the evils of al qaeda. everyone knows what they are. what we saw were brutal execution and murder of james foley is what they intend for the rest of us. on top of that -- stuart: terribly sorry. i am really agitated about this. why are we not flying 100 sui's a day with our planes? we aren't doing that? >> consider the most transparent

administration in history is opaque about all things except u.s. special operations telling our enemies things they don't need to know. is never a good idea but that is what the crowd does, exhibit 1, serving 23 years in jail, they now revealed we tried rescue mission for foley and the other two americans. what the devil are our objectives. before you commit american troops you ought to know what you want them to do. john kerry says isil is a quote makes evil that must be destroyed. the president wants to contain and prosecute this as a legal matter. stuart: attorney general eric holder wants to arrest the executioner, the murderer, wants to give the lawyer, in court. i say drone that guy with a british accent. are you with me? >> one of the problems is we have given isil, the islamic state, whatever they're calling

themselves this week, a safe haven. we have allowed them, as far as they are concerned the border does not exist between syria and iraq and we will not push isil across the border. giving a safe haven to any opponent is a terrible idea and they say oh yes, we want to pursue justice. what does that mean? i would submit this administration has a few days, not weeks or months to tell the we are going to hunt you down like ronald reagan did. he waited until after we had the terrorists in hand to say something like that. the fact is if you don't laughter isil and prevent some consolidating it is a disaster long term. the answer ought to be done now. order carry a battle group to the mediterranean and marine expeditionary force. we have none there. offer no safe-haven, attacked isil high-value targets, logistic sites, command and control communications nodes in

iraq and syria, they have not been given a single bullet yet even though everybody promised to do so, give them not only weapons and and all but the mobility they need and i mean yesterday. use joint tactical air controllers and the iraqis to shore of the regime and make sure you can start rebuilding relations with sydney tribes that i covered for so many years, lead for change, mr. obama. it is called an urgent summit, build a coalition in western states to understand perhaps far better than he does the threat to all of this from isil. stuart: i want you to listen to texas governor rick perry, who says our borders, the southern border is vulnerable, isis could walk right over. listen to what he has got to say. >> individuals from isis or

other terrorist states could be, a very real possibility that they may have already used that. stuart: i know the border is not your territory and i know that. we have discussed what we should do militarily. i want to your comment on that, that the border is open. >> you have given me a wonderful opportunity for shameless self-promotion. rick perry has read my two books, heroes proved and counterfeit lives because both of those books deal with that very problem and obviously this administration is not paying attention. what this administration has got to do is stop talking about the things we won't do. no boots on the ground, no troops on the border and start talking about the things we are doing. the problem with this crowd is they don't seem to know what to do. they need to sit down and listen to people, there's a lot of them out there. the waste basket at the pentagon, there are some people

who could give them good vice and now is the time to do the things i just described to. stuart: talk to david cameron, britain's prime minister. thanks for being with us. see you again soon. got to get to the markets, check the big board. janet yellen made a speech. i have no clue what she said. i can quote you verbatim what she said but what it means i don't know. will rates go up sooner or later? i don't know. is there slack in labor market? she doesn't know or at least she is not speaking clearly. that is what the market is reacting to end by the way there is a report that 70 russian trucks crossed the border from russia into the eastern part of ukraine, 70 of them. last time that happened, ukrainians attacked that convoy and beat it up pretty badly. no further news at this point but that is a factor in this market at the moment. let's move to the s&p 500, closed at a record high, down a

bill this morning. where is the price of gold? up $4, 1279. where is the yield on the ten year treasury? still be a historic lows, unchanged since yesterday, 241. where is the price of apple stock? there are reports that supplies are scrambling to get enough screens for the i phone vi. there is a supply chain problem. to tears? apple is at 101. with the release of the i phone vi just around the corner walmart is offering the i phone 5 c, $0.97 with the two year contract. remember when we foolishly perhaps close game stop on death watch? look at it now. it has a nice boost from strong sales of x box and placed asian consuls. isis, the market, move on. aereopostal, a teen retailer. the fashion they got in before. >> they are having a hard time

and they forecast a weakness going for. stifle nicolas wraps up and said a couple things. what their business is is very successful, low growth tee shirts, louise, denim. it lost its appeal completely with teenagers and secondly, trying to find the new, hot thing has not been going well, to find a more fashionable trend assortment has proven difficult. vostok is down 9% today, it is down 60% this year so the forecast is weak, it is a negative. that is continuing. on your game stop you talk about the consoles, that was really what impressed bank of america merrill lynch. mario kart 8 and was another good game, came in at 16.5% and the essence was 5%, one of the reasons they reiterated their

buy rating. stuart: i will never put them on death watch again. if i put something on death watch the thing goes straight up. i should have put microsoft on death watch. where would we be now? $70 a share or something. hold on a second. the wall street journal backing up our reporting that obamacare makes the economy sick. the fed survey of mid-atlantic states says 18% of businesses are cutting jobs and employees. in the new york area of the fed says 20% of manufacturers reducing workers, 17% of service firms in the new york area down two, cutting workers. look to the south, the atlanta fed says 34% of businesses plan to hire more part-time workers because full timers are more expensive. welcome back. is obamacare to blame for that? >> this makes sense. if you are raising the cost of something you will get less of

it and obamacare raises the cost of workers, reflected in these numbers and remember this is coming in the context of five straight years of expansion so in the fifth year of recovery you are seeing 20% in some cases of these companies saying we are going to reduce the number of jobs, change the composition of our work force but again logical sense cost goes up, supply goes down. stuart: i am sometimes accused of cherry picking statistics, going to the people who are on my political side. can't say that about the federal reserve. >> you certainly can't say it about three separate banks and the federal reserve system. the economy is a complex mosaic. obamacare has not been in place long. on the editorial page, the editorial called the unemployed by obamacare in the paper this morning, what we're doing is presenting the numbers to give readers a sense of here is what we know now when here's a context in which you can think

about why these numbers are happening. stuart: two months and a couple weeks until the election. i think the economy may come back on to the front burner of the news cycle. we have not talked much about the economy for much of the summer. overseas headlines grabs the attention. but now i think the economy is coming back into focus and news like that from these federal reserve banks is not good news for the obama administration two months before the election. >> a lot of workers don't feel this is a recovery. stuart: i have a poll here. in new hampshire, scott brown, do you seize that? the republican candidate for senate in new hampshire is only 2 points behind jean jean, the democrat. got 46%, scott brown 44%. a month ago, there was a 12 point gap. >> he is running strongly against obamacare.

thank you, mary. little league world series presentation many davis and the philadelphia dragons are out of the tournament, they have a second loss last night to chicago. many took the world by storm with her 70 mile an hour fastball. and because she is only the eighteenth young woman, girl, ever to play in 68 years of little league world series. she made the cover of sports illustrated. what does money want to do with her future? play basketball for the university of connecticut. >> number one forever. stuart: uconn, that is right. that is where she wants to go. listen to this. there is a shortage of qualified truckdrivers. can you believe that? with millions of unemployed, the industry crying out for drivers and they can't get them. what is going on here? we do have an answer.

3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about? foreign markets. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. if you convert 4-quarter p/e of the s&p 500, its yield is doing a lot better... if you've had to become your own investment expert, maybe it's time for bny mellon,

a different kind of wealth manager ...and black swans are unpredictable. stuart: janet yellen speaks. happened to clue what she said, we were down 40, now we are down 25. check the price of gold, up 3 bucks, 1279, check the price of oil. i feel like good morning vietnam. what is the weather forecast? hot. by the way crude-oil is at 93. big-name you know, marine mountain. a new high. actually it 130, 10% gain. i missed that. there is weaker demand for agricultural equipment. john dear laying off 460 employees. not good. $84 on the year. 30 seconds of headlines for you. an auto worker finally charges against his union and ford. he wants a refund for the union

doesn't want his money going to political campaigns. that is a problem for the union's list of restrictions on prescription painkillers coming soon. that is a serious subject. >> we shouldn't make light of it. stuart: did siegel breaks it down later. the fed chair janet yellen speaks. i have a clue what she said and no clue what she means. will those rates go up sooner rather than later? slacking the labour market, she doesn't know, not speaking clearly. we try to interpret it. the market doesn't know what to make of it, down 26. not dead flat. 0.1% down. to me that is dead flat. the american trucking association estimates we are short 30,000 truck drivers. new regulation might make -- drive some more drivers away.

we are joined by the executive vice president of the american trucking association, welcome to the program. >> good morning. stuart: good morning to you. we are talking about this alex trebek log, what is the correct name for it. >> the electronic blogging device. >> can't write something on a piece of paper that isn't true. this is an electronic log. it will restrict the hours a trucker can drive straight through for and that is up problem for the trucker because they will earn less money. that is a problem, isn't it? >> the good news is we have a lot of experience with these devices. we have experience in their impact and will be a doing in the marketplace. stuart: when it is a safety feature. i got that and now will be

extended to what is on the road. it will further exacerbate the problem of finding qualified drivers because the qualifications required to drive a truck, more strict, more stringent, now with this electronic blogging, the number of hours for work will be to some degree restricted. it is a problem for you guys. >> quite honestly, the impact on drivers and wages is probably over standard. drivers generally like these. at the end of the day, if i put these in the trucks i quit. two week after they were put in the truck if you take it out i

quit. they end up loving them. nick the company more efficient. stuart: i got that. why are your 30,000 truck drivers or in a country with millions of people unemployed. >> there are increased regulatory restrictions outside this area. the medical qualifications, the fact that there's a new oversight program, getting into business of little too much. not everybody wants to do that. is a big responsibility. not everybody wants that. stuart: they are not making a lot of money. what do these guys get? they are away from home and awful lot. 60,000 year? >> the average is short of $50,000 which is not high enough and the good news is with the shortage we are talking about, the industry and the marketplace is reacting to that. we see all kinds of fleets in the past few weeks starting to

raise drivers' pay. we do need to recruit more people into this industry. stuart: i always think of you guys as the good economic indicator. the amount of freight your truck around a country is a good indicator on the state of the economy. would i be right in saying your freight volumes at this moment reflect an economy growing about 2%? >> fade to. that is almost on stock. bob put out more data and it was short of 2 present on the positive side. you are spot on. stuart: a great indicator. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. difficult time in the trucking industry to some degree but we appreciate you being here. a new warning from jean mail users. your information is even less safe than you thought. we will tell you about the latest threat your privacy. i knew about this.

just for you, nicole. i am told they are words like 80 times more than ordinary. nicole, thank you very much, indeed. let's get back to the situation overseas. the isis that is beyond anything we have seen. eric holder wants to arrest these guys. i say the opposite. i say drone these people. listen to what oliver north said this last hour. >> it is a terrible idea. they say, oh, yes, we want to inhale justice. what the hell does that mean?

it is a disaster for long-term. stuart: there are a couple of different sides to this opinion. i say you get that guy with the british accent and you drill him. just kill the guy. you cannot do that. that is unconstitutional. they may take eric holder's position which is arrest him. where do you stand. where are you on this? >> the point is together evidence. when you capture a terrorist, the point is together evidence and intelligence so you prevent a future attack. after you do that, then you try

them in a tribunal. the thing that disturbs me is that they just forget this whole intelligence gathering part. remember when they captured that guy in libya? what did they do? they put him on a ship in the dead of night. it was like a couple of weeks. they sent him to new york for trial. it can take months if not years. keep them for as long as necessary to protect americans in the future.

stuart: i want to get back to the market for a second. the dow industrial is down. despite the flash report i got from the "new york times." they are firing artillery. that means nothing to this market. no impact. let's get back to this story. the dea. limiting the painkillers. this is a huge app. it helps you identify a song when you hear one. you hold up your iphone. it tells you. you can buy your song through this thing, too. plus. a good news story. it went on for 11 hours.

bank bailouts. it probably will not work again. democrats are also looking at income inequality. it is still out there for majority leader eric cantor. it is still probably the most visible example of that. it is nowhere near its heyday of 2010 and 2012, stuart. >> i find that interesting. good story. green mountain, a new high. this one is on its way. the u.s. open on monday. we have some numbers for you.

for someone else. stuart: it was a personal locker, a gift, writing a check to a charity. that person behind me, give them something. >> that is what americans like to do, they like to give to strangers and like to give to charity and to volunteer our time. we are the most generous nation in the world. we like to give back with a randomly to someone we don't know or someone -- a cause we're passionate about. stuart: are we the most -- are americans the most generous people on earth? >> 2013 world giving index indicated that. it was in the top 5, there are generous people across the globe who want to do good giveback in small ways and large way too, and there's still good in the

world. stuart: not adulterated awful news around the world. the ice bucket challenge, i just got the number in. they brought in more than $50 million. >> that is so great, now a has spread stuart: thank you for the uplifting good news. it is one of the hottest and most useful apps ever. we have the ceo of shares and after the break.

before the big u.n. climate summit next month. in new york. and they talk about how much carbon costs and how we achieve hayfork. listen to leonardo dicaprio here. >> if national governments won't take action, your community can. we no longer need the dead economy of the fossil fuel industry. we can move our economy pound by pound, state by state to renewable energy and a sustainable future. >> let me tell you what boulder, colorado has been doing for eight years. they collected $10 million in tax revenue by charging you and me regular residents $25 a year and businesses $95 a year and renewable energy is so expensive, as they are putting that money into their utility to get them fossil fuels and off of coal. they can build out the infrastructures and we can save on this renewable energy. that is what boulder is doing.

other countries and cities are trying to do the same but at the national level this is hard to convince especially republican lawmakers that it is worth it because of the costs. bernard: it is their money, do what you like but don't take mine. >> $25 a year. >> i wouldn't pay a dime for it. not goodbye to you. i am not paying. >> i did learn one thing. stuart: i paid at the office. i paid with my electricity bill. get off my back. i am being extreme. >> people say that next year solar energy will be on par with natural gas. i thought that was a little bit early but that is what they're hoping. stuart: hoping. have you ever heard a song play in this war or a bar and wanted to know who's saying it, what is the song? you need shazam to. one of the most useful apps ever.

weekly occurrence. ups sees the latest, they have been hit in 24 states but did not notify their customers that their security has been breached. the ceo of better qualified was here with us now. what is the problem? ups doesn't tell you, target doesn't tell you. >> urban outfitters don't want to tell you. the head of security at urban outfitters. everyone is trying to say it is not the right thing to do. maybe we are exposing more in securities with in corporate america but as a consumer myself i would say it is your ethical, moral responsibility to notify me e immediately if you use my information to process the transaction and it was compromised. i should be notified immediately so i can then protect myself and what you said was how many people are we talking about? stuart: we have these reports

constantly, millions, tens of millions of people have their data breached but nothing ever happens. >> stuff does happen because we deal with it every single day as a corporation. i listened to people crying on the phone. their accounts have been wiped out. stuart: bank accounts? the money? >> retirement accounts. stuart: it happens? i don't hear about it. >> most of the time people get their money back because it is fdic insured. there are ways to go about that. it could take years. the average person spends more in two years trying to correct this information. stuart: why haven't i heard about this? why have i not -- i am in the newspaper. >> the reason we are talking about this, big corporations, big data companies don't want to continue to talk about this so they are trying to lessen the effects in the media. here is the other thing. the latest biggest one ups was a

small one comparatively speaking but who is to say the 1.2 billion people that were compromised in the russian data hack, that a year from now on 100,000, and million of those people don't have their identity stolen and their bank accounts white doubt. what if they are just waiting to use the information? they are compiling this day and they are going to use it so right now may be a small percentage of the overall people who had their accounts compromised they haven't been affected. stuart: i go to a retail store and use my credit card. the date on my credit card has been compromised. i can't do anything about that. >> you can ask the bank to change the account. in the one i can't pay it for ice cream or whatever. >> what can you do to protect yourself? we are working with different companies to try to come up with

solutions, and the world pass key will be one of the things it comes into fruition. along the way people have to vigilant. they have to monitor themselves. these companies we deal with, they are not protecting us. we have to protect yourself. you got to tell me. you got to tell me fast. they got to do that. >> here is the problem. the federal and state laws are ambiguous to say the least. there are terms and phrases that say within a reasonable time frame without delay but the government has to step in and say you have 30 days to notify your consumers. stuart: that would kill your business. >> call me crazy. stuart: thanks for joining us. very important subject. we usually not big fans of government regulation but here

thing, i would agree with that for once. the drug enforcement administration can do good things. the problem is the drug like vicodin which is hydrophone plus additives, acetaminophen , spring, for some reason have been losers and if you took the same drugs trade and gave that alone. that is already scheduled. if you had tylenol or aspirin, you know what is wrong with schedule free? i write one prescription for 30 days and refill it five times without seeing you. my finger is no longer on the medical calls, why i am prescribing this medication. i can only give you a 90 day supply so i am not busy redoing renewing renewing. i got to see the patient every three months. i really like that. things are so abused because we are giving them out like water. vicodin is one of the most abused drugs in the united

states. 127 million prescriptions last year alone for this kind of drug. stuart: is highly addictive. >> its cousins -- just as addictive. stuart: because it is the pure -- >> the five refills. stuart: acetaminophen and you get a five refills. the street drug, nothing added whatsoever. what? >> it is more restrictive and what is really ridiculous about this is it is more restrictive if it is pure. what is ridiculous is adding an acetaminophen makes it more dangerous because a lot of reports of people accidentally overdosing, i will just take another flight didn't, you may end up with acetaminophen overdose. stuart: when you have got me on this. i am in full agreement. >> stuart varney on behalf of government restriction of drugs that are abused. stuart: when you got me.

thanks very much. your take on the show coming up next.

>> what this administration has to do, stuart, is stop talking about the things we will not do. start talking about the things that we are doing. what we need to do is sit down and listen to people. there are a lot of them out there. there aren't some people around that could give good advice. stuart: that is just some of what oliver north had to say. kathy had this to say about using drones. i am a libertarian. i say kill them. i am with you, kathy. that is my show.
