[laughter] judge napolitano is not happy with that response, and he's going to tell us why. >> well, i'm not -- good morning, stuart. i'm not happy because it lacks credibility. i mean, if mrs. clinton was using an e-mail address, clinton

e-mail.com on her e-mails to the president, it is inconceivable that he didn't notice that. if she was somehow routeing these e-mails through another server that gave the false impression that it had a government e-mail address something that the president wouldn't take note of because he would think it was coming directly from the state department e-mail, then she was committing another crime by engaging in interstate communications using a fraudulent address. but what the real issue is and bill plant's a wonderful guy with eight years of experience his son mike is a producer here here's what he should have said: are you concerned that mrs. clinton possessed classified servers in her e-mail, and we don't know where the server was we don't know who managed the server, and we don't know who else had access to it? and if you are concerned about that, mr. president will you prosecute her? because your justice department

just prosecuted general petraeus for doing the same thing with hard documents as opposed to digital ones. stuart: that's good. >> and i don't know how the president would have answered those questions but they should have been put to him. stuart: is it just technical legalisms? i think the public's got scandal fatigue. >> it may have, oh, there they go again, scandal fatigue with the clintons because this is their mantra, and they get out of it. stuart: you and i could cross the road on sixth avenue today and you could get me on something if you really wanted to. and i think the public has the impression that these investigations are ever -- there's always an investigation always a technicality. is it that? is it a technicality? >> i don't think it's a technicality when you're talking about the chief diplomatic officer of the united states of america in possession with the highest security clearance the government offers, and as a

result of that deals with the country's greatest secrets using a false and phony and fraudulent e-mail address. don't you think foreign diplomats and foreign intelligence services would pick up on that? and isn't she obliged under the law to protect the national security secrets? how did she protect them? was this server in their barn on their estate in new york? was it somewhere in texas in a company? this is one of the allegations, i'm not just making this up, in a company that managed many servers? did that company have the level of security that the secret service provides mrs. clinton? these are bona fide questions that the government should be asking. do you hear anybody from the government -- stuart: not the government but trey gowdy has subpoenaed these, and he's going to call her to testify, and she will testify under oath -- >> he has an impossible task before him, because his ability to question her is only as good as her responses to his subpoenas. he is not a prosecutor -- stuart: but then she loses politically.

>> can't send the fbi to raid her computer and raid her offices. he only has what she's surrendered. stuart: but i hate to say he's got her politically, but she looks politically bad if she cannot answer his questions and stonewalls with, i'm sorry, i don't recall. >> but she should be in criminal jeopardy. she will look terrible politically if she condescends to be examined. stuart: but she can't ignore that, can she? >> she has not surrendered a single e-mail to benghazi. who says she's going to surrender herself to answer their questions -- stuart: you can't become president of the united states if you refuse to answer questions -- >> the democrats will portray her as a victim. >> right. >> look, the gop is going after her just like they did after benghazi -- >> and they love to beat up women. >> exactly. stuart: all right. >> interesting times ahead,

it's killing these animals, it's creating an environmental nightmare for our children and there's some easy things we could do about it. stuart: bob i do take your point. look, nobody wants trash in the ocean, nobody wants hundreds of thousands of tons of plastic floating around out there killing marine life. nobody wants that. but so often i find the greenies, you know, you're trying to make a difference with the most minuscule little moves. and you given to look kind of silly, do you know what i mean? i think it's bad pr for you frankly. what do you say? >> well, i appreciate that stuart, i really do. but i think, you know, we have to say that this is really an easy one. we've been making coffee since the 15th century, and there's only one way you make it. you pour hot water through the coffee, bingo, there you go. now we've got to use this high-tech plastic approach. we don't. and what i would say to that one in three american families that have this machine, consider getting some reusable cups which you can get save yourself a

stuart: this was not a good weekend for hillary clinton. she didn't say anything more about her e-mail problem. no statements, not even a tweet. the damage was done by other democrats and republican trey gowdy. dianne feinstein perhaps the most powerful democrat in the senate these days she said hillary's silence is going to damage her. yes, indeed. inquiring minds want to know why a secretary of state conducted business from her own personal e-mail with her own server in her own house. gee, do you think she might have been hacked? martin o'malley, former maryland governor, democrat and perhaps a clinton rival said openness is required in the modern age. republican marco rubio referred to hillary as yesterday's candidate. most ominous of all, trey gowdy, powerful chair of a powerful committee in congress. he subpoenaed all repeat, all those e-mails and even worse he will likely call her to

testify. and that would be right as the presidential campaign gets rolling. so here's the bottom line: hillary clinton is in deep trouble, and it is of her own making. the democrats are in trouble, and that's hillary's fault too. they don't have a plan b. they were expecting a hillary coronation. gee, i wonder if president obama is happy about this? after all, he and hillary are not exactly close friends or allies. so stay right there, everyone. in a moment you'll meet ed klein again. he's the guy who wrote the book "blood feud: the clintons versus the obamas." ♪ ♪ stuart: yeah, let's repeat that, ed klein. he is the author of "blood feud," and he joins us now. you have some news on hillary's e-mail problem and president obama. >> according to my sources, this

is only the first of maybe six shoes that are going to drop on hillary and the state department. stuart: what does that mean? >> my sources tell me that valerie jarrett has ordered investigations of clinton hillary clinton in the state department, the first of which is now the e-mails. they're also looking into her expense accounts. they're looking into -- investigating not looking into investigating her use of finances. they're investigating her use of giving contracts to companies that also donated to the clinton initiative. the bottom line here is that the white house, the obama white house does not want to see hillary clinton president of united states. stuart: but they would not be official investigations by the fbi, for example, or by congress. they would be internal -- >> internal state department probes, six of them.

stuart: all within the state department? >> all within the state d., and this was the first she, the e-mails. stuart: and you found out about this just in the last couple of days? >> yes. the sources are in the state department and they've seen huge wheeling what do you call it these places where you put a lot of papers on top to and they've -- they're wheeling papers of hillary's papers all over the place and going through them one pile after another pile after another pile. stuart: well, that would suggest that the premise of your book "blood feud," is entirely correct. there is, indeed a feud between president obama and the clintons. >> i'm not sure i even stated it as strongly as i should have because the obamas in particular valerie and michelle, do not want to see the somewhat centrist clintons in the white house. they want to see some democratic president who will carry out their more left-wing social

agenda and they don't believe that the clintons will. they think the clintons will compromise with the republicans and balance the budget, welfare reform, all the things that bill clinton did when he said the era of big government is over. stuart: doesn't this -- if there are these six internal investigations within the state department prodded by valerie jarrett -- >> yes. stuart: -- very close to president obama, how does that square with president obama saying over the weekend that he first found out about this in the media? he read it in the newspapers like everybody else? >> i don't like to say this about any president, but i think this president lied. stuart: about that specifically? >> about that specifically. he -- it was impossible. hillary was e-mailing and texting obama several times during can every day that she was of -- during every day that she was secretary of state about what was going on. how is it possible that he didn't know that these e-mails were coming from her private

one? stuart: if there are all of these investigations into her finances, into the e-mails, all the rest of it as you laid it out if that's happening, that's coming from the president, that's from the white house having a go at hillary clinton. >> yes. stuart: the republicans are going to have a go at hillary clinton. the left is going to have a go at hillary clinton because they don't want a centrist democrat for the presidency. >> that's right. stuart: that's an overwhelming number of forces going against hillary. do you think she survives as a viable candidate? you have to make the judgment for us, ed. >> well, i've asked people who know bill about that and what he's now saying to hillary, and i think -- although i don't know this for a fact, this is what they surmise -- he's saying, listen, we've faced worse scandals in the past we've gotten over them, we'll get over this. this'll fade. i don't think he's right. i don't think this particular scandal and the others that i believe will come next will fade. stuart: well you've broken some news for us, ed klein and we appreciate that. thank you very much, indeed,

sur. check the big board the bull market turns six years old today. the dow bottomed at around 6-u500d6,500. the price of oil still holding right around $50 a barrel, it's been there for about a month now. the price of gasoline also leveling off. the national average for regular came down a fraction overnight still at $2.45, but it came down a fraction. california, still on a tear, i'm afraid up 850 cents in -- 80 cents in a month. the average in california for regular is $3.43. but we always like to do this for you we tell you where is the cheapest gas in america. there's a price battle it's come back jasper, texas. $1.27 at the shell station there, $1.29 at the exxon station. jasper, texas. cheap gas. look at apple today is the day, of course, when they launch the apple watch. so let's bring in keith

fitzgerald from portland, oregon. all right keith obvious question: is the apple watch a big enough deal to put apple into the trillion dollar category? because it's fairly close right now. >> i think it's a good question. i think it's a big deal but i don't think it's the big deal. i think what's really going to put it over the top is the eco-sphere that tim cook is moving and the move into the dow because once you index, that's going to give you a lot of wind in your sail and off they go to the races. stuart: would you buy it in -- and hold it? i mean, i'm thinking of people who want to buy a stock for their 401(k), for their pension must be. is now a good time to buy -- for their pension money. is now a good time to buy if you've got a 10 or 15-year time horizon? >> i think it'd be very hard to go wrong at the price point it is today. stuart: a lot of people like my bought microsoft years and years and years ago when it was low, it did very well. we didn't get out of it when we

should have gotten out of it. could you say the same thing about apple? >> sure. the easiest thing to do, stuart, is wake up every morning and ask yourself for the reasons why i'm buying apple today still intact next year, next month, next week and if they're not, you're out. simply run what's called a trailing stop, you stop 25% below your purchase price and let that move as the market moves. you can always get back in later, but that saves you from having a small loss turn into a catastrophic one. stuart: how about mcdonald's off 4% in february, nine straight months sales decline. would you buy the stock? it's just under $100 a share. would you buy it on the idea that maybe they'll turn around? >> you know, as much as i personally love to eat at mcdonald's no, i would not. i kicked that company off my buy list late last year. their menu is a wreck, and they have lost the fact that they're about value-oriented food menu and they've got lots of competition right now that is absolutely, pardon the punker

eating their lunch. stuart: yeah, we hear it. hey, keith it's a big news day thanks very much for being with us, appreciate it. >> you're welcome sir. stuart: lauren simonetti is here in case you missed the headlines. >> this just in stuart, president obama will order sanctions against venezuela. the president says he is, quote deeply concerned by the venezuelan government's intimidation of its political to appointments. seven venezuelan officials will have their u.s. assets frozen, and they will not be allowed into the country. meanwhile, big changes coming to equifax experian and transunion that may move your credit score. the three credit reporting agencies now changing the way mistakes on your credit report are handled. the agencies will use trained workers to review errors hoping to change more of them. they've also agreed to wait 180 degrees before adding any medical debt to your report. and brand new information about what may have caused the delta jet to skid off a laguardia runway last week and nearly into

an icy river. federal investigators now eyeing the braking system to see if something malfunctioned since the plane made a normal approach and touchdown, and the runway in question had just been cleared of snow, and two other planes landed safely. and an out of work father job hunting in a unique way. he's been holding up a sign in front of thousands of commuters at a philadelphia train station for the last five weeks asking people to take his reds may. he's a cert -- resumé. he has been out of work since 2011. poor man. i at least look at his resumé if i was hiring somebody. stuart: it shows effort at least. nigerian-based islamic terrorist group boko haram pledging allegiance to isis. radical islam is spreading. general tom mcanyoneny on that next.

at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda. if you take multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a common side effect. that's why there's biotene. it comes in oral rinse spray or gel so there's moisturizing relief for everyone. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth.

stuart: general motors still owes taxpayers, i believe about $11 billion. the stock is up today because they've got a $5 billion stock buyback. then we have boko haram, that is the nigeria-based terror group. they've pledged their allegiance to isis. lieutenant colonel tom mcnerney is with us -- i'm sorry, i just called you general, that was a newsroom promotion. i'm very sorry, sir. >> thank you, sir. stuart: lieutenant general. got it. now we don't -- it seems to me that boko haram is the forgotten terror arm. we concentrate on isis in the middle east in the gulf region. we've forgottennen about boko haram, but they're a real threat aren't they? >> well they're a significant threat in africa and particularly in nigeria, stuart and we should be concerned with them. and, of course their announcement of joining a caliphate under al-baghdadi is

a reaching out so they will be recognized as part of the global caliphate. they're also in trouble, and they'd like money because a multi-national force in nigeria and chad is coming after them now, and they're about to have a main attack at the boko haram headquarters in a town up in northeastern nigeria. so they would like to get other muslim radical islamists' help i think, as part of this announcement. stuart: now, is it possible that we will see a victory on the part of the opposition to boko haram? i mean, you said that there's -- there are troops massing to go after them at their headquarters. are we on the verge of a victory some good news here? >> i hope we are but, stuart, hope is not a strategy. but i think one of the signals is when they made this announcement, that they wanted to be part of the isis caliphate that this is showing they need some help.

the multi-national force has actually been very successful along the border between cameroon and nigeria in driving them out, so i frankly think that we are on the verge of a significant success. stuart: is america helping this effort with -- >> covertly. stuart: covertly. >> covertly. stuart: what does that mean? what are we doing? >> well, we're giving them intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance intelligence information, we've got certain advisers there that are talking to them and helping them and doing that and helping them to organize and doing those important things when you're starting the pre-intelligence work for major battle. and that's what we are doing. stuart: do you think we're on the verge of some good news against isis? >> well, it looks like tikrit may fall, but i'm not sure that that -- that is -- that would be good news, but the fact is when we finally put some our air

power in there to help them, that is what is going to turn tide. if we would only use our air power correctly stuart, we could turn that tide a lot quicker. but for certain reasons unbeknownst to me that i have not been able to figure out, we've elected not to use it effectively. stuart: well the president wants them to do it themselves. he wants not us, but them to fix the problem in their backyard. i think there's a certain sympathy in america for that point of view-- >> and i strongly endorse that. on the ground we want them to do it. we don't need our ground forces over there to do it. they must do it. however, i don't think that we have used our air power effectively to enable them to do that. stuart: okay. we'll check in again with you soon, sir, because we want to hear some goods news on the terror -- good news on the terror front and maybe we'll get it. we'll see. general mcinerney, we appreciate it.

>> thank thank you, stuart. stuart: the justice department is set to charge new jersey democrat senator bob menendez over allegations he used his office to help donors. now, there is some suspicion in the media that senator menendez is being targeted because he opposed president obama on various issues recently. therefore, president obama is unleashing the justice department against the senator. >> you know, that's an interesting theory. however, this case has been in development for more than two years now. so mr. menendez is being accused on corruption charges. basically, a quid pro quo with a friend of his family who was, runs -- he's an ophthalmologist, a clinic. so he will say menendez will say he's a personal family friend, we spend holidays together, we go to funerals and weddings together, however, it appears that the congressman intervened on this doctor's behalf after getting money, campaign donations, taking free

flights on his airplane -- stuart: yeah. >> he paid for that. but intervening in medicare billing disputes with kathleen sebelius to argue for the doctor, to get the doctor's company, you know surveillance equipment at a dominican point so there's a quid pro quo -- stuart: but why now? senator menendez says i oppose president obama in what he's doing with the deal with the iranians and the iranian nuke, and days later the man is possibly going to be charged in a criminal offense by president obama's justice department. >> and he has been upset about the 180 on cuba as well. menendez has been opposed to the reversal on cuba sanctions. so the why now is such an important question because, you're right, this case has been out there. the information's been out there for more than two years. i don't know the answer to that. stuart: senator cruz thinks it's political -- >> payback. stuart: that's the expression he used, i believe? >> yeah. that's what we're hearing. we'll stay on that story for

you. stuart: politics. thanks liz. wisconsin's governor, scott walker just signed the state's right-to-work bill into law. this is a blow to organized labor. stops unions from forcing workers into joining and paying dues. wisconsin is now the 25th state with right-to-work laws and it crossed wisconsin's legislature by a wide, wide margin. a driver charged with homicides because she was distracted by facebook. the full story coming up next.

stuart: it's called the solar impulse ii, that's it. it took off today from abu dhabi hoping to be the first fully solar-powered plane to sur couple navigate the world. just made the first stop moments ago. the trip's going to take about five months to complete. solar power. now this, it has been reported that a woman who was involved in a wrong-way crash that killed her 11-year-old daughter and her two 5-year-old nieces was actually using facebook at the time of the crash. liz macdonald has the full story. take us through it, what was she allegedly doing? >> it's a tragic story. in her suv, she's texting,

chatting on her facebook page. she's rounding a curve, loses control of her suv and hits a truck head on. and so, you know, these children died in the accident, and this is part of the debate about what do you do about people who are texting and driving because right now it's just monetary fines of maybe $300, $500 dollars. stuart: she veered off the road there's a dreadful crash, then the snow came down and covered some of the wreckage. the snow melts the police recover the phone -- and right. stuart: and it's on that basis they say she was using facebook at the time of crash. >> right. police are mystified what happened, and they discovered that she was texting a man within two minutes of the crash. in other words facebook chatting with him. stuart: within two minutes of the crash? >> or thereabouts. so you know, she was apparently distracted. she was also on oxycodone as well. stuart: oh, she was? >> the thing is, stuart if

you're texting at 55 miles an hour for five second, you go the length of a football field not looking up. $what do you do, do you throw the book at them? how do you deal with this because it's a big deal right now for drivers. stuart: that's a very interesting -- what do you do? because as we all drive around you see a lot of people using the cell phone for whatever purpose. not just speaking on the phone but i've seen them, you know, making text notes. >> you can voice text, but she faces ten years in prison for homicide. terrible story. stuart: well, it is a terrible story. wouldn't want to pass judgment on it but it's a terrible story is. >> yeah. stuart: we're 30 minutes away from finding out exactly what the apple watch can do. is it a fashion statement? is it a real game changer? we're going to take you to san francisco next. >> it is going to replace your existing, old-fashioned watch. and to the guy who sent in the tweet or text or e-mail to you saying he's got what he's got already and doesn't need that

that'd be like you saying i've got a typewriter, what do i need a laptop for?

stuart: a triple digit gain on a monday morning.

here comes the apple watch. the stock not doing much at this moment. fox and friends host clayton morris is at the event in san francisco. i got some extra rest. the guy is concentrating on the watch. is this a breakthrough platform? six-seven years ago. >> we will see this afternoon. they have been secretly working on developing their apps to be shown off. developers who have been here behind closed doors working on their application just to see

how much of a breakthrough this could possibly be. stuart: i find that interesting. very quietly to make a big splash. the watch emerges with apps already to go. is that right? >> right. we could have stood up her for four hours. there was that one slide that they put up on the screen. you look at the list of things that the watch could do. today, we will see a lot more of what this watch can do. allowing you to pay using the watch. without even making you go to the front desk.

stuart: i want to get back to that question. >> this is the biggest question of all. can apple convince millions of people to put something on their wrist which is otherwise a air? it is a breakthrough platform. apple is great at doing that. you did not think you needed this item. when we show you how awesome it is then you will want to buy it. whether or not people come out in millions. a remarkable first step for a brand-new device in the apple category.

stuart: is this the high point for your entire year? >> apple has become somewhat predictable. this is the first time we have had so many questions today. what will it cost. the first female executive take the stage today. the former ceo of burglary will she stand up on the stage? this is a very mysterious event. stuart: the highlight of your year. >> the super bowl is big. let's keep going with this. christine campbell. she also worked with tech ologies before she got in to the

fashion business. the apple watch is being touted as a fashion item. is it? >> well -- i think overall it is a type knowledge he device rather than a fashion device. stuart: i have seen one. i have not touched it. are you going to sell it in your boutiques? >> no. stuart: it sounds like you are dismissing the whole idea that you buy this as a fashion statement. >> that is correct. if you were looking at it from a purely fashion respect of, you

would have to understand, how does it work with my wardrobe. that does not seem to be the way that this is being approached. stuart: what about the lady from her very? that is fashion isn't it? >> you are right. i guess that there are two different kinds of fashion. if you can track that to a trenchcoat with a square watch with a rubber wristbands, i am not really sure that is at the same level as something from there. >> i understand what you are saying. i do not have any young teenage grandchildren. young teenagers. thirteen 14, 15, 16 -year-olds.

they may consider the apple watch a fashion statement. you with me? >> yes. i am absolutely with you. such a pull to that generation. perhaps, they will bridge the category from tech ologies into fashion. i wonder about gen xers. baby boomers. well they replaced the rolex with an apple watch? i do not know. >> thank you for being very honest about this. you did not like this as a fashion statement. we appreciate your honesty. >> take you for having made.

crimson mim. short for my grandmother's name. stuart: okay. you see that is another thing we did not know. glad you told us. >> we you pay for an apple watch for your teenage daughter? >> i have one teenage daughter left. i am generous with that onto with my children and grandchildren. yes. i would do it. president obama. going after your guns through a bullet band. it is easier to buy guns ban vegetables the president says.

i have never had to present voter identification to buy a vegetable. if the president is referring to a legal firearm purchases then we can talk about that. four him to coat this and make this general statement it really does reflect not only his ignorance on the issue but his way of trying to seem that done purchasing is worse than it really is. >> this is a tweet. they appeared to maybe be backing away from the bullet band. just a publishing the state. no ablow exemptions revoked.

>> let me tell you how this tweet came about. i published a story and i compared to 25 rules and regulations. i can tell you that 2005 version to the new 2014 version. the exemption for the ammunition they are trying to ban now is no longer in the 24th teen version around the time they are trying to propose it. they just got caught because they had already taken out of the rules and regulations. the administration's position is weakened not get this ban through a vote in congress. we can't get it through an executive order or a change in the rules.

they cannot get a boat going their way but they can do it this way. >> they are certainly trying to do it this way. if they reclassify this as armor piercing and they ban it, that means they can and every type that exists. there are hundreds. this is a very slippery slope. the president four years has been trying to get a hand past through congress on that ar-15 rifle. the most popular rifle in the united states. he was not able to do it. if they get this one done, they can get all the rest done. stuart: i do not know which side of the fence anybody is on on
