not so much the economy. for six years president obama pushed higher taxes more government spending, intense regulation and a whole lot more debt. and what have we got? 2% growth shrinking middle class. very few good jobs and $18 trillion worth of debt. yes, we're struck. we're in danger. what do you do to stop the rot? print more money? another big stimulus program? tax the rich some more? that is not going to work. surely this is the opportunity for the republicans. stand up and shout, growth, jobs, free enterprise! get government off our backs, it is killing us! we're stuck and i'm worried but i do live in hope. stuart: laughing because i think that was a rather weakening to my little editorial there, follow it up with this shall we? that's a rally.

it is a monday morning. that is a rally. we're close to 17, nine. despite a very weak jobs report last friday. here is the thinking, the economy is so weak the federal reserve will not put interest rates up. in fact the rates stay near zero forever. so the dow goes up. the price of gasoline goes down. we're at $2.38 a gallon and has gone down 10 straight days. not quite a streak but we're down 10 straight days. look at it go. get to the nuclear deal with iran. this is a major story over the weekend. essentially america caved. iran got what it wanted. ambassador john bolton is with us. he is one of the leading voices against this deal. he says it opens the door for iran to develop a nuclear weapon. it does, just like that? >> iran right now is on the path to nuclear weapons. absent some development they will get a nuclear weapons at a time of their choice. the question is, if there is a deal with iran and i don't

think there is one yet, if there is a deal we can accept or will accept, will it slow them down or stop them? the answer to that is no. even under the white house's own assumptions the iran is left with a free path to get to nuclear weapons. stuart: we're told it at least slows them down and we can check if they're cheating. what is wrong with that. >> if pigs had wings they could fly. if we could slow them down and check that would be one thing. we made a critical mistake when you get all the technical details, to allow iran to have any enrichment potential at all. they're still free to do research on more advanced ways of enriching. this assumes we know everything there is to know about iran's nuclear work and manifestly we do not nor can we be guaranteed as the president said what they will do over the next years.

stuart: it looks like it will be done, no matter how bad it is from their side good for their side it looks like it's a done deal and the congress will not pass judgment on it? >> yes. i don't think congress will do anything in the next three months. i think the president still has a lot of negotiation to do. if you listen to competing statements out of geneva and what has been said since the gaps between the parties are still quite wide. i don't think there is yet a meetings of their minds. there may be, but even if there is it will not stop iran from achieving deliverable nuclear weapons. stuart: what is your time frame? suppose there is a deal basis what we found out already there is a deal how long before iran get as bomb? >> if iran wanted to race to get a nuclear weapon as soon as it could, it could get one in two to three months. stuart: i have to hold you up on that. two to three months? >> sure. if they expelled the international inspectors and enriched their stocks of low-enriched uranium to weapons-grade and fabricated as

a weapon would take two to three months. but that's not what they're interested in. they're building a very broad, very deep nuclear infrastructure. so when they do decide to go to the weapons level, they will produce scores or hundreds of weapons in very short order because they're not afraid of us. the only, thing that stands between them and that is israel. stuart: okay. could we reimpose sanctions the moment we feel that they're cheating, could we reimpose them. >> i don't think they will be reimposed anything like the magnitude they have been. but let's be clear. the sanctions that we've seen in the past three or four years have not slowed the nuclear weapons program down at all. the director of national intelligence has testified to that in open session. what the sanctions have done is caused economic pain. does iran want to be free of economic pain? of course no kidding r they willing to give up anything significant on nuclear program to do that? no. given up anything significant? no. stuart: your position is very clear but what is your read on american public opinion?

>> i don't think america wants iran to have nuclear weapons and i think they realize once iran gets nuclear weapons it doesn't stop there the saud i consist egyptians and turks will get nuclear weapons. the real question is whether the president can sell this deal as if it is will work. he is making his best efforts. the fact this regime in iran can not be trusted. they have been trying to get nuclear weapons for 30 years plus and they're on the verge of doing think, you're leading hard-liners aren't you? i'm leading those who do not want iran gets nuclear weapons. this is somebody takes military action to stop it as israel has done twice before in its history. one against iraq and once against syria. stuart: ambassador john bolton, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: exclusive for you. yellow cab guys getting ready to sue uber. charlie gasparino is here.

let's go through this story. the yellow cab people threatened by uber they say that uber is allowing hailing of cabs, not with raising your hand on the street but by dialing them up on this. that is the equivalent of hailing a cab. so they say, unfair. you're breaking the rules. we're going to sue. >> breaking the law. you're taking money out of our pockets and you, new york city, by allowing them to do this there is a letter one of the biggest financiers of the medallion, you need a medallion to drive a cab. if you have the medallion you can lend it to somebody you can lease it out. one of the largest financiers of that melrose credit, sent a letter to mayor de blasio i believe overthe weekend. we obtained the letter. i'm not sure if it was delivered sunday or this morning. and essentially said this you're going to be on the hook for treble damages a lot of money because we are being deprived of our income and we followed the rules.

listen, i will say this. i always wondered when new york would be the place where uber was attacked. remember, san francisco, some other cities. you had some sort of a backlash from the taxi operators. listen my dad was a cab driver. driving a cab in this city is a long time, is a legendary profession. it is very difficult to get one of those medallions. they cost a million dollars right? peep lease them out. a place where immigrants start off. stuart: yep. >> uber is eating into that business. this is the first attack from a major part of that industry against, to stop uber. it till with be an issue when they do their ipo. stuart: exactly. they want to go public. they want to sell shares to the public. i was told they would raise $40 billion. the company is worth 40 billion. this would take away that value, surely. if they're facing a major lawsuit like this where they could lose big that value comes down. >> that is a good -- listen, they haven't set a date for their ipo but all these attacks,

legal attacks especially something like this if you know anything about the new york state or city law it is kind of interesting. you can't hail, you can't compete on a hail. i can call up cab service pick me up in an hour. stuart: yep. >> call car service. on a hail, just going out there wanting something immediately there is a whole bunch of rules. by the way you know, uber doesn't pay any taxes. they don't pay the mta tax. they evade all the taxes yellow cab driver goes to the city. stuart: definition of what is hailing a cab? >> yeah. stuart: if you dial it up on this thing -- >> want it immediately. stuart: hail it in the street. >> might be the same. that's what these guys are saying. they're very strict. stuart: where is your heart? where is your heart? >> my dad was a cab driver. so i'm fair and balanced because i work here and i will tell you listen, uber is a great device but my cab was a cab driver and people taking out of money people still alive. this is interesting backstory, david plouffe, former obama

stuart: big smiles, everybody, and that dow jones industrial average is up 133 points. why is that? because the economy is weak. if the economy is weak, maybe janet yellen will either keep on printing some more money or keep interest rates at zero. we love that, don't we, investors? up we go, 133 points.

"furious 7" won the weekend box office. it set record numbers for the easter weekend. took in $384 million worldwide. $143 million in america. why is this franchise such a winner? deadline.com reporter joins us from los angeles. answer the question dominic, why is it such a big deal? >> well stuart, let's be honest, people love fast cars. there is a lot of fast cars in the "fast & furious" series. i think one of the reasons this one works with it is multicultural diverse cast and also it travels. i don't mean that as a pun. it literally this is movie that plays all over the world. which is one of the reasons why it is shot all over the world places like u.a.e. furs just 7 it took off -- "furious 7", it took off with a roar. stuart: it has a lot to do with special effects. we're looking at cars chucked out of an aircraft, several of

them. that is special effect. it is all about cars. that is very american. there are lots of things going for it? >> that is true, stuart. the special effects are incredible. personally i love any action movie franchise with a movie name character named dominic. that is rare. cars are not just popular in america, my man, but all over the world. let me mention one thing stuart i would never be one to correct you, our figures here this will make $148 million this opening weekend domestically. a easter record, a franchise record around also, it is going to be an april record. stuart: are they shooting furious 8 already? they must be. develop in the development plans. one of the things i think particularly for this film, we're seeing it on the screen was of course paul walker, who tragically passed away almost couple years ago. a lot of people were very interested to see the way the film handles it. it handles it very well in my

opinion. they had his brothers in to stand in as well as digital effects. to go forwards the franchise as they say at the end, i will not give it away but everything will be different going forward. stuart: do you know if the actors got a piece of overall revenue as opposed to a flat fee? >> we do know vin diesel is executive producer on this series. i'm sure whatever deal he said on this, we'll see some profit participation. let me tell you stuart you know as well i as i do, numbers add up. everybody is making bank on this one. universal is over the moon. stuart: last night's finale season finale of "mad men" on amc. you say it will not beat walking dead in the ratings. i'm not surprised but tell me why? >> we, i mean, first, it was the debut of the final seven episodes of "mad men" which is critically acclaimed. "mad men" as you has been a big

one with the vital demographics but it is numbers have never been up there in the walking dead. the season finale of waching dead, got 18 million viewers in the 18 to 49 demographic. "mad men" never reaches those numbers. it reach as very strong demographic. you see especially going into the final episodes, those numbers will go up. here is what is interesting this is the second time. amc introduced a split final season strategy. it worked so well for them two years ago with "breaking bad." you won't see "walking dead" numbers but you will see very good numbers i think for "mad men" going into these last episodes. stuart, we're all talking about it. stuart: dominic, one last word, no more coffee for you. you're out there in los angeles. i know it is early in the morning but no more, all right? dominic patton. >> i hear you my friend, you should. thank you very much. >> happy easter. stuart: decaf. that too. now this a growing number of

stuart: oh, lord. >> they want mentorship, stuart, more senior people no they want pool tables and massage artists. isn't this argument for outsourcing? i didn't go into the workforce expecting free bananas dr pool table in the office. i. >> i didn't expect a piece of fruit. what i think is worth noting by 2025 10 years from now, essentially, 75% of the work force will be millenials. whether or not we went in i'm with you, i was grateful to be there. happy to be there. stuart: they will learn. >> i don't know. they're the majority. stuart: university of hard knocks it is called. >> but if you're within the majority, i don't know if it matters. stuart: they're talking about googles of this world which do provide that kind of thing. no problem whatsoever. >> google is monopoly though. stuart: if i'm going to get a good job, i want a good job. if pay for masseuse whatever it. stuart: means i don't get a good job i don't want a masseuse. >> what if you're the employer stuart? hey if i get a masseuse here

one day a week it is cheaper than paying people a little extra. they feel good. work harder. i make money. stuart: wrong on the masseuse. good for the cheap breakfast. cheaper than them buy it someplace else. >> or have time wasted ordering online. stuart: have we reached agreement? >> i think we have. write this day down. stuart: what time are you on? >> 1:00? stuart: want more of that. 39 minutes from now. >> all right. stuart: thank you deirdre. >> thank you stuart. stuart: up next, the governor of california, the drought, jerry brown, ready to fine people i mean big money for taking a long shower. when i say big money, i will define big money for long shower after this. ♪

wherever it was talking pub puckly -- >> it was on abc. stuart: didn't the reporter ask him why do you allow them to produce almonds which takes more water than san francisco and los angeles combined? >> his answer was the state provides the nation most of it is fruit and vegetables. this farming provides jobs for most vulnerable residents of the state of california. you're right, farmers 80% of water usage is farming industry which is exempt from restrictions. stuart: he dent mention starting up new reservoirs. >> no he didn't talk about that at all. desalination plants will require dirty energy to run the plants. talking coal and other ways to get water into california. stuart: liz macdonald on former golden state. >> that's right. stuart: president obama allows iran to keep its nuclear industry. many say that will lead directly

to the bomb. >> congress has taken itself out of the mix and the president is giving them the back of his hand. he will just pretty much do what he wants. if we see any mushroom clouds we'll know the deal wasn't very good.

monday morning to show you something like this. a 155-point gain for the dow jones industrial average. that despite what i'm going to call a lousy jobs report that came out last friday morning when the market was closed. first opportunity to respond, we're up 155. come on in. keith fits gerald in portland, oregon. why is the market up so much after that jobs report? >> well, this is continuation of something you and i talked about many times, stuart the good is bad and bad is good memi. the news that the job data was so bad it will keep the fed involved and delay looming interest rate hikes that traders have so long been anticipating. stuart: that is still it then. we're still down the same road bad economic news is good market news, same ol', same ol'. >> same ol' same ol'. this is last call at bar. everyone wants one of those drinks or in this case addicted to cheap money will make a run. this enables trading and stock

deal. we had several days to look at it. all people are unhappy wit. here is what ambassador john bolton said earlier this hour. roll tape. i'm sorry we just lost that tape, my fault. so come on in, conservative strategist jeff balbon. >> good to be here, stuart, thank you. stuart: if iran keeps nuclear industry and the deal says they can keep the nuclear industry you say that opens door to the bomb no matter what. >> we're kicking can down the road but not that far. stuart: how far? >> i heard ambassador bolton, two to three months. i had people on the ground talking to in switzerland and israeli security that's it, we're months away. stuart: that would mean if we don't get a deal and iran stays as is right now, within three months they could have a bomb that accurate? >> they certainly could. stuart: therefore, wouldn't you be prepared to say, maybe we should have this deal? >> we except this deal does

nothing. all we've seen are concession after concession after concession. we're talking about the six most powerful nations in the world up against a second-rate, country with a third-rate economy and we keep giving in, for no good reason. stuart: why? can you get inside of president obama's head? he just did an appearance with the "new york times," trying to explain why the best deal they could come up with. what is inside of president obama's head. why should he do this. >> that was great metaphor i think rationalist value of president obama. bibi netanyahu comes to america and presents to congress. he presents to the american people. president obama goes to the "new york times" and tom friedman. that is his idea of presenting a case. the case he makes is, you have to understand they think like us and we'll treat them as though they think like us but they don't. they have a different culture. it is a very long and ancient culture. they have a set of ideas that

are rational but different set of goals than the united states or president obama. stuart: president obama, i believe got roughly 70% of the jewish vote in the last election and one before that. i think it was really 70 to 80%. in the next election will a democrat get 70% of the jewish vote? >> depending which democrat they will get somewhere above 70% of the jewish vote, quite likely. stuart: how do you explain that. >> it is complicated. i didn't know we were going here this morning or this afternoon. the way jews vote tend to be fear of other issues than this. there is a lot of trust in government including big government. and they're i guess jewish vote is divided into two categories. they're ethnic minority category. they vote like any other ethnic minority. democrats say we'll protect you from the majority. if you're a racial majority we'll protect you from the white majority. if you're women, considered a minority in terms of power we'll protect you from men. if you're from jews, who will we protect you from?

the party of white christians. it is overt, if you look at democratic talking points it is overt play to jewish fears of being minority. there is the other group, 30% of talking about, different form of jude aism mission set of ideas. they run in line with conservative thought and republican thought and reliably voting for republicans. stuart: at the end of the day you're convinced the iranians get a bomb? >> at end of the day i hope something happens to intervene but right now it isn't looking very good. stuart: always a pleasure. thanks for joining us. we do appreciate it. >> thanks. stuart: opening day for baseball. there are some new rules that promise to speed up the game. is that going to work? brian kilmeade is next. ♪

stuart: yeah. it is opening day, major league baseball. fans will be watching. faster games they say. who better to ask about this than brian kilmeade, host of "fox & friends" on "fox news channel." what are they doing to speed the game up? >> they're document a couple of things. number one, we have to get more people watching. we have to get younger audience pick up the pace. one thing, tv replay, do it from the dug out. don't walk out to the mound a million times. two minutes to get the new pitcher in, ready to go. have them ready to go. buck showalter tells me you need the time. you're not a good manager. nothing is more boring than a pitching change. and you got to stay in the box. if you're batting, in the batters box don't get hit by a pitch or dirt or something happened, like a broken bat, stay in there. one foot out, go back in. that is way it should be. no more boring to watch somebody adjust themselves 20 times. stuart: do the glove.

this gets you more involved. the leagues love it too, stuart. stuart: i thought it was fantasy or real baseball but it is not. >> you can do both. stuart: this is real baseball. >> money for getting in. money for certain incentives. stuart: you gamble on this. >> absolutely you can gamble. stuart: i don't the fantasy stuff. >> i don't either. i'm staked into reality. so i think. i'm amazed how many people just do fantasy. care more about their team than the team they should be rooting for. >> this is for dr. keith ablow to investigate. just kidding. stuart: would he approve or not? >> living through other people but having a stake in the game as opposed to just rooting for laundry. >> he might like it. stuart: tell me about the masters. i will press you. you have to tell me, who is the next big star of golf? >> well, i will tell you this i'm not willing to move off tiger woods right now. i know he is coming back after a terrible off-season and last season. listening to the bbc to get to doing this spot to get used to

your accent they said we can't wait for tiger woods to come back. he is globalstar. dustin johnson is other one. he has his act together after going through rehab and various stints and problems. he is living up to potential. stuart: go back to woods. the man is 39 years old. he has a bad back numerous surgeries. you think he can come back win a major? >> almost everybody watches play it is in his head. it is not a matter of coaches. he knows how to fix his own game. he needs confidence in himself. my fear he is so in love with the woman. remember what happened to mcenroe, meets tatum o'neal, never reaches heights again. you might be happy he found a relationship that but that hurts the game. don't have single focus. if you're an athlete you should not date the opposite sex if you want to be successful. do what jeter did. date a lot. wait until you retire. settle down. did it work for him?

stuart: jordan speith. bubba watson. what about rory mcilroy. you have not talked about them. >> i thought you wanted my reasons behind tiger woods. a lot of people could win. what i feel it hurts game. as much as it hurts for purist of golf you want a person to root for, good and evil. >> celibacy in sports is that what you're advocating. >> i will say this i'm not willing to push for it but if i was managing a local professional athlete in a single sport, i would say hey, put off the dating and let's focus on your game. back to work. look what happened to mcilroy when he and his friend backed off. stuart: why don't you tell, knock it off? >> i would say in diplomatic way. here is stack of money you could have. here is the stack of money if you will have if you continue to date instead of practice. focus. stuart: of all the sports that i know you follow basically you're a soccer guy you like all

sports but i think golf is your least favorite, isn't it? >> i think that that is a theory you might es south because it is your show you might stick to it because "varney & company." i'm not even and company. stuart: that's right. >> you have nothing to base it on. the way i struggle with the golf club in my hand will be your testified that i'm not for that. stuart: i watch you three hours a day on "fox & friends." i listen to you very carefully when you appear on the show. you're not keen on golf. i just know it. >> i will say this i appreciate the skill of the sport but i would say if you had football, if you had baseball, if you had basketball or soccer or boxing i would take them all over golf although i appreciate the game and know the majesty of the masters. stuart: you know who is listening to this greg mormon. a friend of yours. colleague and and acquaintance of mine. >> friend of yours. he watched me play and he has asked me not to, right? stuart: he was on the show, i asked him -- >> did he bring me up?

the patients get a shot in the arm. go back to work and go on with daily activities. stuart: is it that simple? a single shot in the arm, go pack to work and it works its magic hopefully on your tumor? >> each time they get treated, that's it. they get treated first every couple weeks. every couple months, twice a year for maintenance. just like a flu shot for a patient. stuart: bring me up to speed. success in the trials but not yet okayed by authorities in america to go out there and put this thing on the market? >> no. this is experimental. it is in clinical trials. we've been in clinical trials for 10 years. and our phase three final trial is due to finish next year. and this 51 patients of data have come out in the meantime alongside that. stuart: there has been publicity recently on "60 minutes" where the polio, whatever it is called goes street into the tumor and kills it but you're using a very different approach.

can you give me 20 seconds to make me understand how you're doing it? >> yes. so we're taking the master cell of your immune system that mobilizes the whole immune system, all different parts and we're putting a fresh batches of those cells back into the patient. because what tumors do is they either turn off the immune response or they hide from it. and we're turning the immune response back on. stuart: you are northwest biotherapeutics? >> that's right. stuart: publicly-traded company? >> that's right. stuart: ticker i am bowl. >> nwbo. stuart: nwbo? >> that's right. stuart: got it. linda, appreciate you being with us. a fine story on a monday morning. >> thank you, we're excited. stuart: yes ma'am. tonight on fox business, the hit show, "strange inheritance," jamie colby meets a man from new mexico who earns the nickname, doll boy. he inherits his mother's big collection, 5000 dolls. check this out for a second. >> i was shocked. i know lori was really shocked.
