nd six years ago on light sweet crude. thank you so much for joining us today, i'll seal you tomorrow. -- i'll see you tomorrow. "varney & company" begins right now. stuart: mar cra, thank you, indeed. you can't run forever, robert durst, you can't disappear forever vladimir putin, and you better get that gas price down some more and fast. that's a good way to start, isn't snit three deaths a mumbled confession on hbo, and after 30 years dodging prosecutors and and arrest robert durst behind bars. this is a big money celebrity story. in russia putin appears. out of sight for ten days, he pops up on state-run television. but that hasn't ended the speculation. does he still have a firm grip on power in now he's calling up 40,000 troops. and get the price of gas down and do it now. oil at a new low. the refinery strike is over so come on, let's see another gas

price plunge. we want $1.75 gas yes, we do. and 18,000 on the dow yes we want that. we might get both. see? monday's not so bad. "varney & company" is about to given. ♪ ♪ stuart: two big market stories to kick off the monday morning. a big triple-digit rally for the dow jones industrial average this is all speculation about the federal reserve and interest rates. on it goes forever. but we look like we're up to close to 18,000 again. now perhaps even an even more important story the price of oil keeps on dropping. 42.97 that is a new six-year low. that means, in my opinion sharply lower gas prices coming very soon. as of right now, the national average for a gallon of gas is $2.42, down a couple of pennies

over the weekend, and it's down nine days straight. remember, please the refinery strike in the west is over, we're still swimming in oil. i'm going to ask patrick dehaan of gas buddy next hour if gas prices are indeed, set to plunge the way we want them to. that will be about 11:30 eastern time, this program today. the arrest of robert durst in last night's finale of hbo's documentary the jinx which is about the unsolved murders he's linked to, he can be heard confessing, quote to killing them all. durst was still wearing a microphone as he went to the bathroom x he started talking to himself. listen to. stuart: that is the key phrase, "killed them all." he was arrested saturday in new orleans reportedly preparing to take a flight to cuba. he is the 71-year-old heir to a

new york fortune, he's been arrested in the murder of his friend, susan berman, a murder that took place 15 years ago in beverly hills. it took hbo's producers two years to find and recognize that audio of the confession from durst. judge napolitano on the durst big money saga and that mumbled confession, 11:15 eastern this morning. to russia, vladimir putin has surfaced in public, first time if ten days. there was speculation that he was sick, dead or a coup had taken place. russian state tv released new video today, shows putin appearing with the leader of kirk stand. putinen says rumors are nothing -- putin says rumors of his death are nothing more than gossip. why should any of us in america care if this guy disappears for ten days? >> well, you care because what was he doing? did he have a palace coup threat? putin has become very reckless. stuart: what do you think he was doing? >> i think he was shoring up

support. kremlinologists have always been watching russian leaders for. well, his girlfriend was having a baby, so he took time off to be with her, or maybe he was having a facelift and cosmetic surgery. i think much more likely was he was shoring up support with the constituent groups. the economy -- stuart: has he faced an internal revolt because of what's happening to the economy? >> the big thing is the economy. you know a year and a half ago when he ran for re-election, he was not doing well in the polls and then the crimea crisis happened, and he was able to stir up and whip up anti-american, pro-russian nationalist sentiment, and his popularity's now 8, 0 09%. so he's really riding high on the anti-american, we're the beleaguered russians we've been surrounded, we've been cheated, we've been lied to, and he's diverting attention from the absolutely dismal economy. the economy's going to catch up with him because there's no chance that gets better while oil prices are low. stuart: what's this about

calling up 40,000 troops? i believe he did that today. he made the announcement today. what's that all about? >> well, and he also revealed, this is the first year anniversary of the crimea annexation. he also revealed that russia was ready to go on nuclear alert. so he's beating the war drums. he's gotten himself into the position where they're on a sugar high. you know the russian people ignore the fact that things are bad in the economy, ignore the fact that their standard of living is rapidly declining, and if you're a great russian national, you have got to support me and support what i'm doing in ukraine. the question will be what do the russian oligarchs do? they've gotten really rich and they've just seen their billions probably decrease by 20, 30% in the last several months. are they going to say forget about russian nationalism, i care about my own personal money. stuart: will putin let them get their money out -- >> no. stuart: -- or drastic capital controls to say it stays here, boys? >> he'll do the latter.

and i think they'll start looking around who else could lead this great country. i don't think putin finishes his term -- stuart: really? >> no, i don't think he does. stuart: you believe he's going to do something dramatic. >> i'm worried that as he gets more and more desperate, you know, the wounded bear is a dangerous bear that he will be more aggressive. he'll have to continue that sugar high to the russian people. so ukraine

stuart: plausible didn't of direct contacts. >> sources have told foxnews.com reporters that this is on, this is happening in back channels in the senate. what's interesting is jeremy byrd senior adviser for the obama campaign, he was running one voice until the end of last year. guess where he is now? he's in israel. and he is working with victory -- stuart: and the $350,000 came from the american taxpayer? >> yep. your tax money through the state

department. yep. stuart: what do you make of this k.t.? >> well, the obama administration's wanted a regime change in the middle east from the very beginning of the obama administration. regime change in iran or -- stuart: you sound terrible. >> they want regime change -- stuart: in our foremost ally? do we want to change it? >> you bet they do. they think that israel and bibi netanyahu is personally standing in the way of some mythical peace deal, and they know they're about to have a deal with iran which is not favorable deal for the united states which is going to spur a nuclear arms race and they want to make sure bibi's out of the way. so they think a new israeli leadership will be compliant. i think they're wrong. >> and really quick, this group wants to go back to 1967 borders, and that is something that the president has actually voiced support for, our president. stuart: okay. so the left in america is providing money to the left in israel. i think that's a roughly accurate statement to make? >> and the swing vote is going to be palestinian -- israeli

citizens who are arab-pal palestinian muslims. stuart: do they vote in israeli elections? >> you bet they do. stuart: that would go to netanyahu's opponent. >> correct. stuart: okay. >> but that doesn't mean, you may win the election, that doesn't mean you get to be prime minister because you have to pull together a coalition. stuart: that's right. very fascinating stuff ladies thanks very much, indeed. a lot of headlines today. lauren simonetti has more in the segment we call "in case you missed it." >> the irs is warning about a new tax scam, and the can culprit is the tax -- and the culprit is the tax prepareses. some unethical professionals using obamacare to charge clients fines for not having health insurance and now qualifying for an exemption. they then pocket the money themselves, many of the victims are immigrants. well, hillary clinton's camp is claiming no e-mail was left unread, a statement released last night says they read all of her e-mails, and the 30,000 that

were deleted were personal. meanwhile an explosive report in the new york post revealing that president obama's adviser, valerie jarrett was the one who leaninged the scandal to the press -- leaked the scandal to the press. congressman mike turner who's asking for copies of the e-mail joins you today, stuart. and disney's cinderella made $70 million at the box office. the animated short film played before cinderella, frozen. and we'll show you shares now, up almost a buck. stuart? stuart: that disney, i'll tell ya. >> i know. stuart: all cylinders are firing fully. >> you put frozen and cinderella together? stuart: and apparently, when you walk out in the lobby or outside in the stores, there's all the frozen stuff all over again. either it's reintroduced or fresh frozen stuff. i don't know with. [laughter] >> cramming it down your throat. stuart: sorry, i missed that one. lauren, thanks very much. a big money celebrity murder

arrest up next. we're talking about robert durst with judge napolitano, and here's the question: can that videotaped confession from the documentary hold up in court? we'll get to it. but first, just take a look at this, please. a drag racer crashes, look at that. the car is split in half. the driver get this the driver walks away with bumps and bruises. he says he's ready to race again. just listen to this. >> nobody wants go through anything like that, but, you know, in the case like that happened on saturday i mean, you can go through that and walk away from it. so it's -- >> sure. >> believe it or not, it gives you, you know a sense of comfort, if you can believe that. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?"

what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

stuart: you know, there's all kinds of ways of starting monday morning on wall street, we'll take this one. the dow is up 183 points, not that far away from 18,000 again. now this new drugs to control cholesterol from amgen and

regeneron showing signs they can cut heart risks in half. heart disease is the world's number one killer. look at the share price of those companies right now, all up very nicely, thank you. here's what else we have for you. elon musk has got people talking again. sent out a tweet, big announcement coming later this week. looks like a new plan to extend battery life on his cars. do you buy the stock on elon musk turns to twitter to stimulate buzz and when gas prices keep on falling? we'll have an answer next hour. weddings, whoa, getting much more expensive. according to the knot.com, the average is $31,000. that's nationwide. much higher in manhattan. off the charts here. we'll talk to the editor-in-chief of the knot 12:15 eastern today. we have some gee whiz tech for you later on, the device that claims to cut a baby's crying by 50%. [laughter] i have some experience in this.

not sure i'm going to buy that but we are talk to the creator. here's the story that's really creating the buzz, the big money celebrity real estate family member, robert durst, arrested, charged in connection to one of the three killings in his background. he's caught on tape saying "he killed them all." hbo picked up this so-called confession because durst's microphone was still live when he went to the bathroom. listen again. stuart: you could hear it. it was kind of mumbled, but you could hear it, so here is judge andrew napolitano. can you convict based on that? >> i'm chuckling because i've tried many cases with so-called confessions, never one quite like this. [laughter] stuart: i'll bet. >> first of all under the law this is not a confession. a confession can only be given to the government only after

warnings and after an assertion in writing or on tape. i know and i realize that i'm giving up my right to a trial and i'm saying this. so the government's not even going to argue it's a confession. the government will argue it's a spontaneous admissionment and that's -- admission. and that's where the issue of did he have an expectation of privacy comes in. did he think in his own obviously demented mind he was just in the bathroom? did he forget like he was, like you and i are now wired with live microphones? each we who wear these things -- even we who wear these things all the time forget that they're live. stuart: we do. >> we all do that. so these are questions the court would have to have asked and answered. then there's an issue of his mental stability. he's obviously a madman of some sort. the question is does he know

right from wrong. did he know right from wrong at time he made this statement, not "i killed them," but "killed them all." stuart: it seems to to me prosecutors seized on this spontaneous admission because he was about to get on a flight that took him to cuba, and if he did, odds are he's not coming back. this was only just discovered the relevance of the tape was only just discovered. >> isn't it interesting that the fbi was there at his hotel room at the time this show aired, therefore, they knew about it before the show aired. when did they know about snit and if they really think this guy is a dangerous murderer on the loose, why did they wait until the program calm on -- stuart: come on, judge, let's not throw the blame onto the prosecutors or the -- >> well, i'm suggesting that law enforcement's glee over this will be short lived. i understand their frustration. he is probably a serial killer: he probably committed these other murders.

but one of them he hasn't been charged with. the one that he was charged with, he was on the witness stand for four days gave an absolutely absurd absurd meaningless defense. i killed this guy in self-defense, and then i panicked and so i cut him up into little pieces, and i wrapped each piece in three pieces of plastic and threw it into gavel stop b bay -- galveston bay, and he's found not guilty. stuart: that raises another question, if you're really really rich and you can hire an army of lawyers, i believe he did, you can get off. >> he can't be tried again for the one for which he was acquittedded. he could be tried for perjury however they usually don't do that if they've got you convicted for murder. this is not going to move the ball in a positive direction towards the prosecution of robert durst. stuart: but he's in prison. and he's not coming back. >> yes, he is in prison. i'm not so sure she's not coming out. the delay argument that i gave

you is a substantial argument for giving him bail because the government knew for a long time about this garbled statement and chose not to arrest him. therefore they cannot argue he's a danger. if he's a danger today, he was a danger the day before they arrested him. stuart: real fast, in your experience as a judge do people who have done something wrong, maybe many, many years ago, just want to get it off their chests? >> yes, yes. stuart: either in peace or forgiveness, whatever it is finish. >> yes. i know that is sometimes the stuff on which novels are made, but it's based on reality. stuart: all right, judge. >> it's fun once in a while. it reminds me of my prior life. when creeps like this were two feet away from me in the courtroom, as close to meas you and i are now. stuart: don't back off from -- >> not from you! [laughter] stuart: okay, everybody check this out. a dad in australia thousands of miles from his family, he

experiences the birth of his son thanks to -- look at him -- virtual reality. the full story's next. >> who do you reckon he looks like? >> i think he looks like you. healthy boy, healthy mum. and i got to see it, so nothing better than seeing your baby for the first time.

stuart: yes, i have. >> so they control what you see. he's controlling what he sees this the delivery room. they set up the little camera, samsung did, and then his head and eye movement and where he's looking around control what he can watch in the delivery room. so he was able to look at the there, he was able to look at her, he could move around. he was in charge. that's the difference in this. and it's actually a very touching story. stuart: you've seen it. >> i watched the entire thing, and basically samsung -- somehow they found out about the story, basically samsung said we want to experiment with you, would you mind? would you want to participate? sure enough, he was out of perth when the baby came, and so he was able to -- they set up this whole room for him. obviously, it's a commercial. this is a company, they want to sell technology. but it's not bad. stuart: it's cool, and it worked. >> yeah, it worked very well. stuart: case closed. thanks, cheryl. as the price of oil to drops, will gasoline follow? the gas buddy, he's next. i want a plunge. i want $1.75 regular gasoline.

quarters...yup. then amerivest gives me back their advisory... stocks. fees. fees. fees for those quarters. yeah. so, i'm confident i'm in good hands. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. stuart: yeah, look, that is almost a 2 to 00-point rally -- 200-point from for the dow. perhaps the biggest story is oil it touches $42 a barrel earlier, now we're $43.11. who knows what happens to gas prices when you've got oil down again at those lows. whey don't we ask -- why don't we ask patrick dehaan, gasbuddy.com guy. the refinery strike is over, we've got a whole lot of oil supply in america. i saw we i say we ought to have a gas price plunge and you say what? >> i think you're fairly

optimistic, and i think you certainly could see it come may when refineries finish up with their maintenance. of course, you still have that big hole in the i side of a refinery at exxonmobil's facility in los angeles. that's probably not going to be fixed as fast as you'd like. are we going to see your $1.75 plunge i think you said earlier? maybe not see that much, but it's looking very good, stuart, for the summer. stuart: come on, patrick. okay, i picked a number out of the air, $1.75, but it should be below $2. after all, last time that oil, crude, went to 42, $43 a barrel we were down at $2.03 national average for gas. now we're at $2.40. i mean surely we -- the driving public -- aren't we entitled to $2 or less in. >> well, see, you bring up a great question that a lot of motorists have been asking. crude prices are at 42, what in the world is going on? well unfortunately we can have all the crude oil this the world, but if there's a problem refining that crude into

gasoline, this is where the disconnect is taking place, and as refineries switch to more expensive gas as they do maintenance, you know, i feel like i'm sitting here explaining it, and i shouldn't be giving them any credit. once that maintenance is done you're going to see gasoline prices start dropping, and that's why we're fairly on the mustic that this summer's easily going to be the cheapest since 2010. in fact you'll see those sub-$2 a gallon prices start coming back if crude oil prices hold trajectory. stuart: oh, patrick dehaan, that's good. that's good stuff. you don't make as much money when gas prices are plunging. i know you don't quite make as much money. you like them to go straight up so everybody comes to you to find cheap gas but you're still making money -- >> nobody can take the suit off my back anymore. stuart: and that rolls royce is in the garage around the corner. you're a good man, thank you very much for agreeing with me. see you again soon.

something just in from new orleans robert durst just agreed to extradition. he's going back to los angeles. he's agreed to do that. our cameras are outside the courthouse in new orleans where a hearing is taking place right now. at some point we will have him emerge. not necessarily from that door but he will emerge and he's going to be extradited back to los angeles, we hear. now, to the man who is in high demand in washington. look at this. we've known for years that steve moore has valuable insights, that's why we put him on the show. he rates. now politico is writing an article called "the wooing of a washington wonk." behind the scenes every presidential candidate is fighting over a small pool of top candidates. steve moore is one of those top people. he joins us now. >> hi, stuart. thank you. i'm glad you're finally treating me with the proper amount of respect. [laughter] stuart: absolutely. >> just teasing. stuart: what are you telling these republican candidates? in a nutshell, i know you've got a message, what is it?

>> you know what it is, growth, growth growth. we've got to grow this economy we've got to get it back to the 4-5% growth that we haven't seen in this country for a decade. we're seeing declining middle income families in terms of their take-home pay, and it's this kind of recovery has not reached a vast majority of american families. stuart: yes, but are you telling them, are you telling these candidates you've got to reduce corporate and personal individual tax rates? >> of course. [laughter] of course they do. stuart: that's how we get growth? >> look, i'm a radical on this. what i've been telling them is blow up the tax system entirely, start start all over again, come up with something mush simpler fairer and brings jobs back to america. we've got a tax code right now that works against this company. it's like our competitors wrote it for us. look, the good news is i'm just doing this with these candidates because i think this is going to be one of the most important elections in our country in 50 years, maybe at least since reagan was elected. we can't afford to have someone

who isn't a pro-business growth advocate, and i'm very worried about it quite frankly. i have to tell you, stuart having talked to five or six of these candidates already if you're a republican, it's a rich talent pool out there. stuart: okay, one last one. i think to get the economy really going over the long term, we've got to reform medicare and social security. >> of course. stuart: are you telling them that? >> of course. stuart: that's the third rail of american politics at the moment, isn't it, steve? >> it is. but, you know, look, with social security reform, why not move towards a system of personal retirement accounts for younger workers so they don't lose 15% of their paycheck for the rest of their life? with respect to medicare and obamacare, i think there's a broad populist appeal to repealing obamacare and coming up with a plan that covers everybody in america but allows them much more choice. you get to keep the doctor and the physician and the hospital of your choice, and we could do that, by the way, stuart. one of the things i've been telling them, we can cover everyone in america with health

insurance for about one-third less cost than obamacare costs. and people would get better quality of care. stuart: steve, it's a pleasure having you on the show. the powerful people in washington that are coming to you, rightfully so -- >> that's because they watch "varney & company" every day. stuart: excellent. very good, steve. you're back next week. [laughter] thank you steve moore. good stuff. >> thank you. stuart: all right we've hit the official debt ceiling again. rich edson is in washington. come on rich, i don't want to talk about the political maneuvering about what the democrats do and what -- i'm not ed. i'm interested for you to tell our viewers how much does each of us owe? >> got bad news stuart, you owe the government $42,000. and in 2014 -- i'm sorry in 24 years you will owe the government $124,000. that's each american. stuart: whoa. that's a raw -- that's huge. that's almost impossible to imagine. now, the next question, what about the payment of interest? how much are we paying out in

interest now and maybe in the future? because that's a back breaker that level of interest that we're paying. >> oh, sure. and think now, stuart, we're at low interest rates. we're getting a pretty good deal at $229 billion a year. that balloons in 2025 to $808 billion according to the congressional budget office. meaning from 2016-2025 the u.s. government will spend $5.5 trillion on interest payments alone. stuart: all right, rich. you gave us what we wanted because i'm not interested in the ins and outs the political wrapping over the debt ceiling, i just want to know how much we all know, and you told us. thank you very much, indeed. now, we have something really, really different and very special for st. patrick's day. one of the top bartenders in the world, she is going to show us how she makes some drinks using guinness, of course. the beer is a key ingredient in st. patrick's day cocktails.

every taste profile that you would like. i'm just going to pour in a little more. stuart: it's going to overflow. is that how you pour -- >> no, this is a half and half. this is different. you're going to top it, you're going to use a bar spoon just like this, hold it like this because you want the draft to kind of float on top. stuart: okay oh, okay. so the again misshould float on top -- >> factically. stuart: so that it is different colors. >> it is different colors. the the traditional draft is a heavier, maltier beer, and the amber ale the guinness blond is a light lager. so it sits on the bottom. stuart: i've got to interrupt because what you're doing is not advertising a cocktail, you're advertising that brand new guinness product. >> i am. the newly-released guinness blond. this is a beautiful crisp amber lager that i really love. stuart: i've been to the guinness brewery in dublin, they

didn't teach us like that. >> no, we're pouring it out of a can. stuart: hearts unknown is the name of the second guinness cocktail parts unknown. >> this is going to be using the traditional guinness draft and rum. we're just going to pour in a little bit of -- [inaudible] because the flavors actually really work well with the bitter notes of the guinness draft. and then we're going to add in a beautiful aged rum. stuart: and you make that rum, i'm sure. >> yes. a beautiful age. four different barrels that it's aged in in guatemala. stuart: if you don't use one of your rums, you're out of a job. >> maybe i could come work for you. so i'm going to pour in a little bit of almond syrup, and i realize actually i am making a little bit of a mistake. you're making me nervous here, sir. i'm actually going to pour this into my shaker because this is a shaken cocktail and a little bit of lemon juice to balance it

out. stuart: i can smell the liquor from here. >> you can. it's a delicious cocktail. on st. patrick's day 13 million glasses of guinness are drank every year. but not everybody likes to drink beer all night, so it's nice to have that combination of cocktails. and the great thing about these cocktails is that if you're a beer drinker, you can also drink them, and if you are a cocktail drinker, they work for you as well. so i'm going to pour in some nice ice cubes right here. ice is very important as well. so that we have your glass chilled down. so this is the perfect combination of a good rum -- sorry ant that. stuart: the set. >> got to break the field. give that a nice shake. everything is in here but the guinness itself, right? so now i'm going to strip that over so i like to fine strain. i'm getting bits of ice in there.

stuart: oh, that looks good. looks like a pink squirrel. >> exactly. much better. stuart: real fast. >> absolutely. we're going to top that. stuart: got to put the guinness in. you have to get the commercial angle. >> i know. there you go. that's the perfect cocktail. and all these cocktails can be found on the welcome back site called the guinness hooly.com. now we're going to make a twist on an old-fashioned -- stuart: coming up against a hard break here. >> wild oscar. simple syrup a couple dashes of bitters. an ounce and a half of bull let bourbon. and then we're going to mince it with an ounce of -- mix it with an ounce of the glynn necessary extra stout, the original one. stuart: okay. the name of the web site again? >> the guinness hooly.com. because hooly is the word for party in ireland. hooley.

stuart: guinnesshooley.com. >> i just want to remind everybody to drink responsibly no matter where you go. stuart: absolute. elaine duffy -- it's duff. >> there's no y on the end. stuart: thanks very much for joining us. >> you're very welcome. thank you sur. stuart: all right. i'm going to be sitting down shortly. march madness brackets are set. the questions fans are asking this year isn't who's going to win, it's who can beat the undefeated kentucky wildcats? we will have an answer in just a molt.

stuart: big crowd at yankee stadium this weekend. they weren't there to watch baseball. new york city's newest major league soccer team, 40,000 fans showed up to watch the nyc sc, they took on the new england revolution. new york won 2-nil as they say in soccer. [laughter] okay 2-nil. and then we have march madness, it is here. the question this year is not who's going to win, it's who can beat the undefeated kentucky wildcats. we have got an answer from pete schrager with fox sports one.

>> kentucky's looking to be the first team since 1976 to go completely undefeated and win the ncaa championship. right now 50% of pools have kentucky winning but i think the kansas jayhawks can beat the kentucky wildcats. stuart: i don't know anything about basketball so i don't know if it's a joke or not. >> it's not. they're number two seed, they've got a good squad. they're coming off a tough loss in the big 12 championship, but they are a battle-tested team. if you're looking for a team that might give kentucky a run, that's my pick. duke can always play, arizona, but kansas jayhawks that's my sleeper team where no one's talking about them but they might be the ones to shake up college basketball. stuart: help me out here. if i'm going to fill out these brackets why don't i go backwards and start with kentucky as the winners and then just go all the way back? >> it's not the worst idea. however, in your office pool everybody is picking kentucky, so if you miss one here, miss one there, you might have the winner and still lose your pool.

stuart, you are a bold man. you are a proud man. i say you go on a limb, you take kansas, you ride with my pick you win the pool when kansas beats kentucky, and you say i knew it all along. that's the move. >> every year we hear it's going to be kentucky xyz team, and every year there's some kind of major upset. we saw it in the nfl. i think going against kentucky might be the way to actually play pools this year. stuart: do you agree the kansas jaywalkers? [laughter] what's their name again? >> the jayhawks. >> i think arizona's got a really good shot. >> i like that. well coached. sean miller's their coach. cheryl's right arizona could be the pick. stuart: pete, you've got to call it who wins? >> oh kentucky's going to win. they haven't lost all year they're the best team. but if you're looking for a fun pick go with someone else. stuart: can i bet on march mappedness in vegas? >> yes, you can. stuart: and i guess -- >> even money on kentucky. it's 1-1 odds, it's not even

worth making the bet right now. you should go for a long shot, have some fun with it. the best part about march madness is it's thursday/friday this week, and everyone in the office gets swept up into it. it's fun. stuart: ten seconds, what do you make of that new york city football club homeowner? 40-odd thousand fans? this is a run away success. >> people love their soccer, and there's a team in jersey, red bull. people are loving soccer in the states. stuart: pete. good luck. see you soon. hillary clinton's team says, don't worry, they read all of her e-mails deleted just the personal oneses and sent the other ones along. problem solving, right? congressman mike turner says, well, he's on the oversight committee, and he says not so fast. he's up next. plus, real estate heir robert durst arrested. detail on him and his big money family. hour two is two minutes away.

dropping. still roughly a six year low. that has big implications for the price of gas. down about a half pretty overnight. down for the last nine straight days. gas buddies said there is a very good chance we will see much lower prices by this summer. hope so. let's get to hillary clinton's e-mails. 32,000 e-mails to be exact. they were deemed private and deleted. there are all kinds of questions here. who gave hillary clinton steve the right to go through these e-mails and delete 32,000 of them feared shortly that is a

huge problem isn't it? >> absolutely. we only know this because hillary clinton got caught. pushing on the issue of her e-mails. it became public that, in fact, she had her own system. she is not just saying i have e-mails that are personal, she said she went to the extraordinary step of the leading them. stuart: do you think that we will ever see those e-mails? do you feel that that will happen again?

>> i don't. this is a very important issue. we have to get down to the bottom of what occurred and how it occurred. we need clear answers. those e-mails certainly provide insight. i think that chairman gaudi has asked for a very reasonable step. as we learned from lois lerner, even deleted e-mails can be found. stuart: probably going to call her as a witness before her select committee. >> i think at this point it is very important that they take the lead on this investigation.

>> that is what a lot of people think. they had an open investigation. they arrested him last night because they had some key pieces of evidence. for some reason, he moved to galveston texas. very bizarre. if you look at all the evidence, it was clearly look like he killed him. he admitted to the dismembering of the body. he said that he killed him in self-defense. he got caught on the black murder. he was picked up in pennsylvania i believe steely gaze sandwich out of a grocery store.

>> they are strange. stuart: obviously. does robert durst the man arrested does he have bloody? >> they kicked him out of the business into not a settlement. if you look at the first killing she was a medical student. this is a woman that had everything to live with. she disappears. he did not really help the police. i just know that if my daughter-in-law disappeared i

still felt like i have an obligation even my son to justice. the durst family will have some question to answer here. if they would have stopped it did, to more people would have been alive. stuart: we want to cover everything for you. here is lauren simonetti. >> vladimir putin laid to rest rumors. k.t. mcfarland said a bad russian economy is hurting putin. >> i think that they will start looking around at who else can leave this country. i do not think that putin

i think if you or i owned a gas station, we would probably feel the same way. >> $42 a barrel today. a low for the last many, many years. >> you will find an awful lot of buyers step in there. this market is really tight. there is tightness there. >> that could interfere with my gas price plunged. now, winning. the average price is skyrocketing. the average couple spends for the urdu with vows of dollars on the big day. that is up. we have the editor-in-chief with us here in new york.
