recalls americans liars. we can't check this or that and no sanctions common none at all. severe weather in the heartland devastated by tornadoes. we take you there live on the ground severe storms moving into the southeastern part of the country today. g e does a total makeover. goodbye financial services. it is the all industrial company now, not your father's g e. "varney and company" is about to begin. stuart: >> under the leadership, our country is brighter stronger and better. why would we want to return to where we work? >> what difference at this point does it make? stuart: perhaps we should be

excused. being a tad snarky on friday morning but we couldn't resist it. hillary will announce a presidential run on sunday via twitter. not quite morning in america. mary kissel is here and letting. what i am expecting is the media is going to fall on all over hillary because she is going to announce and she is a woman and i think that is the reason in part why the media is going to from all over here. mi as for saying that? >> no, that is all see has to run on. hillary says a lot of very fundamental problems start with foreign policy, she was secretary of state presiding over all these disasters in the middle east. will see a loan that? domestic policy, how will she be different from what the obama administration did? taxol little more and spend a little more instead of taxing and spending a lot? she has scandals, she is not a natural politician, she represents the family of the past, not a new face for the

future. the the big hurdles to a presidential campaign. stuart: i want to hear what her policy stand is because i don't know what it is. >> this is another problem. the democratic party has moved very far to the left of hillary clinton. will she try to capture some of that base that has moved to the elizabeth warrens of the world will see track to the center? stuart: only time will tell. a couple quinnipiac polls, in colorado rand paul leads hillary clinton 44-41. look at iowa 43 clinton 42. hillary clinton is ahead of virginia 47 to get to rand paul's 43 but iowa colorado you can't put too much faith and credit into a very early poll can you? >> two things i would look at

are the favorability numbers and the honest and trustworthy numbers. if voters don't trust the candidate there is no way they will pull the lever for the men polling booth and hillary's trustworthiness numbers are way down. stuart: and falling too. look at this. this is a new ad from the republican national committee. roll that tape. >> hillary clinton has some explaining to do. >> personal e-mail accounts to conduct official business. >> not really working out well. >> catastrophic move for hillary clinton. >> million dollars of foreign governments. >> it was a lie. >> what difference at this point does it make? stuart: kind of blurry audio. not quite sure i got the message entirely but clearly an attack had. >> yes it is. they have a lot of time to make

the attack ads because democrats don't really have another candidacy. you have minor characters martin o'malley lincoln chafee. this -- he hasn't announced yet but if he did run he would run to the left of hillary the anti-war candidate but still on the attack ads are not ready, i would be worried, six months the you to put this together. stuart: not a great ad. next hour brent bozell, the top media watchdog in the land will say what we say we are in for four days of media falling. not that is my opinion but brandt says it has already started the joins us at the top of the hour. check the big board friday morning stocks are up very nice week for wall street, we are above 18,000 as of right now. stock of the day if not leak,

the month the year general electric. i am talking total makeover for this company dumping financial businesses, it will become a purely industrial company. that is the real reversal from where jack welch took it. this is a company that for a generation with a bedrock stock. most investors have a small piece of it. how many companies dumped financial and go all the industrial? investors like it. maybe they like the $50 billion stock buyback but they like it up 7%. >> dodd-frank, too big to fail government interference. stuart: the huge move for stock like g e. that accounts for part of the 60 point gain. look at apple. and other investment firm may be looking for a headline. downgrade the stock absolutely no impact whatsoever. the apple what is available for pre order as of today. is already warning shipments could be delayed by a month.

>> have you ordered it? stuart: not yet. the $20,000 gold apple watch already sold out in china. look who is here, look who is outside the flagships for in new york city, cheryl casone. all those people going in the store had an appointment by thing they will be taught how to program their watch. is that right? >> that is the thing. you can look at the watch. i tried on a sport watch but you can't walk out with the watch. you have to order it online. walk-in during your appointment today. the first two people in the store on new york city on fifth avenue was an elderly couple celebrating a big anniversary. you can't walk out with a watch. you can't get one. that is the problem but to your point about finish it in, there's a marketing issue because buzz aside unless you order that thing at 3:00 in the

morning you are not getting it. it is not -- stuart: if i came down to that flagships for, i could go in there now, touch this thing feel this thing put it on, say it looks good on me and it is a demonstration project on a massive scale isn't it? >> that is exactly what it is and this is what apple wanted. i don't know if it will work but out of retail sales she wanted this to be a non event. more media when they had to open the doors at 9:00 a.m. today, no way this is open 24 hours that they had to shut it overnight. there was maybe 15 customers standing outside and they already ordered the watch and were showing up for their appointment. there were 2000 people here in september when they wanted the iphone vi launched. it was huge, lauren simonetti was down here. it is a different story and i can't say i am impressed, the

watch is nice, i like the smart watch. it is $300 or something down the road. i tried on the $17,000 watch. it is not my thing. maybe somebody else will want it. stuart: very good. i am afraid you are stuck there for the day. i hope it stops raining. we will see you later. good luck. change of pace here, something serious, deadly tornadoes in the midwest, twisters overnight tearing through and destroying entire towns. this one you are seeing now, that was in fairdale ill.. one person killed, 11 injured. jeff flock is there. he will give us a look at the devastation on the ground. look at that. go ahead. peter: in some ways they look the same but in some ways they're different.

look over here at this one. everywhere we are surrounded. every single structure in this town is damaged or completely destroyed. if you want to get a sense of the power of this thing look at this tree, complete the uprooted. peoples -- pieces of this just everywhere. you see a lot of these scenes but we haven't this year in tornadoes season but it is on. stuart: you stay there. we want to see more. we want to see what happened. jeff flock in fairdale ill.. news alert a ran's ayatollah khamenei blasting the obama administration's new keel proposal. he says you got to lift all sanctions immediately. as soon as anything is signed get rid of all. no inspections at any military base. is this deal falling to pieces? we will bring you the latest after the break.

the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... using wellness to keep away illness... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care... by connecting every single part of it. for as the world keeps on searching for healthier... we're here to make healthier happen. optum. healthier is here.

stuart: i couldn't resist

looking at highlights from yesterday's performance by 20 make jordan speak. you see and putting one down. we will move on. look at this. this is the classic shot. watch it go. oh. can you do that. could you do that? i certainly could not. not that i play but even if i did, not close. this is the shot of all shots he can't see where it is going, crouches down, he is looking, we can see that thing. sound effects, please. he puts it away. update please, the second round has begun. spieth has tee off, he is one under today nine under total he leads. he is my guy. check the big board please, more good news, dow jones averages above 18,000, we are up 68 points. got it. if you go to florida you will see a walgreen's on virtually every corner all those

intersections walgreen's here and that cvs on the other corner, huge competition but walgreen's is closing 200 stores to cut costs. so is cvs winning this competition? if it is is it winning because it said goodbye to tobacco? >> i am going to say no. cvs is not winning the competition. walgreen's is closing 200 stores over the next two three years but on a conference call yesterday there executive vice president said we are opening 200 new stores, putting the rights was in the right places. that is the goal. cvs, a year ago able to keep their numbers up. if you look at the stock price walgreen's is doing better. cvs up 6%. i don't know. i think you think the opposite of me. stuart: i am wondering about the influence, when you stop selling tobacco is that good for your chain or bad for your chain? i think the jury is out quite

frankly but it is a factor in the walgreen cvs competition. i was very surprised to see walgreen's closing 200 stores because they want to cut costs, save money. interesting development. thank you very much indeed. iran's supreme leader ayatollah khamenei blasting the nuclear deal we propose with iran. he says all sanctions must be lifted as soon as any deal is signed and he doesn't like inspections either. what do you do without verification? susan crabtree is the white house correspondent with washington examiner and she is here. an ongoing too far as i say that deal looks to me like it is falling to pieces? >> the white house says nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to. looks like a huge stumbling block in reaching a final deal but what we have here is the supreme leader, statements are out of touch with reality.

stuart: he has the power suit. he has a 5, it is against islam to issue, do any kind of nuclear development whatsoever. the international community, there's a wide consensus they're involved in trying to develop a nuclear bomb obviously so that fought. stuart: i have to ask comment as of right now, is our president going to cave to the ayatollah's position? he is taking an extreme position, get off our backs, no sanctions can you can't inspect the you cannot verify anything just sign a deal. will obama cave to that? >> i don't think he can. he has been equally strong in drawing his own red line on the sanctions being phased in and providing very historic, very intrusive inspections so i don't think at this point senator

schumer who just came out for the corker bill is going to allow him any bipartisan members of congress to allow him any wiggle room on this deal. stuart: the deal we already put forward, the framework as the call already says you can't inspect military site. all military sites are off base, you can inspect them or go anywhere near them. and whether you can have snap inspections, turn a band -- you can't do that these you got to get us time to clean everything a. >> two hours is on the table now. two hours. there are arguments you can clean it up by then. the white house continues to say these are the most historic intrusive inspections in history. iraq is a big country. iran is a huge country as you know. how can you have any confidence in what the white house says

when we started out saying the goal is to have iran eliminate its nuclear production capability when he has broken so many red lines and now he is saying we are not going to inspect military facilities but ballistic missile program. how can we take seriously? stuart: i have to add to this. the president says this is the most intrusive inspection regime in history. what happened to united nations inspectors to for six use have been denied access everywhere they wanted to go? >> exactly right. you can see the supreme leader weighing in on this because he thinks obama is desperate for deal. stuart: he is. >> you have congress on the other side saying total line. >> i have to push you a little on this one. don't you think democrats are going to cave? they don't have 57 votes for that quarter bill and doesn't look like they're going to get there. is this a done deal? >> almost 67. >> who is going to get them

there? >> will be interesting to see what chuck schumer does. he is the linchpin the bellwether. he is becoming the next minority leader, taking harry reid's thought. if he caves it will be huge news because as you know he could take a strong stance on the nuclear negotiations. stuart: i am wrestling my paper because i'm looking at the piece by kimberleys roslyn, wall street journal. she says some of those democrats who wanted this bill to encourage sanctions they are backing away from it. backing away. tumor is still on board and other democrats are backing away which means they are not going to get the 67 votes they need to override a presidential veto which means president obama can go ahead and sign a lousy deal and make it stick. >> you had bob mendez leave the foreign relations committee, ben carden stepping in for maryland he is more moderate even though he is a prominent jewish member so this is the fallout from the

vote. stuart: i want your judgment. my judgment is the president is going to sign a rotten deal which we cannot verify. what do you say? >> i think he is leaning towards that. they're pushing him on iran and congress, this is a time for congress to push back if we want a strong deal. stuart: okay, susan. thank you for joining us. coming up next, a report from fort hood, shooting victims getting purple hearts. this ceremony is going on right now. we will take you there live in just a moment.

>> absolutely. this hits upon two of their strategies. they have gone after other muslims as well. sending an example to the west and others in the area. you either convert or die. that is how they have been building this. they are serious about holding this. it is about gaining population. they need a banking system. stuart: christians are systematically being ran out of the middle east. is that accurate? >> absolutely. it has been built on for a very long time. ancient church burnt to the

ground on easter day pete we were watching as this was going on. systematic whole sale. you watch and connect the dots to what is going on. this is systematic. they want to take out anyone that will not follow their ideology. unfortunately, we are getting into this a bit too late. >> i want your judgment, lisa. on the response of the united states and europe. how do you judge their response to what is running out of town? >> as a whole look at how the west is dealing with the threat of radicalism.

♪ ♪ stuart: watch out everybody, on

sunday a tweet is going to be delivered. hillary clinton expected to announce her presidential bid on sunday with a tweet. herman cain is with us. look, you're not surprised by this. what surprises me is that there is no alternative nobody else has stepped forward of any significance in the democrat party. that's the surprise to me herman. >> well you're right. you're right stuart. it's not a shocker that she is going to announce. what's going to be interesting is what are going to be the reasons that a her supporters give for thinking she would make a good president. that's going to be the surprise. [laughter] what are they going to come up with as to why they think she would make a good president? stuart: oh, herman sarcasm is a low form of wit, and you know it. [laughter] let me give you a couple of polls, because they're not good for hillary. quinnipiac polls. in colorado, rand paul is beating her 44 to 41. in iowa rand paul beats her 43-42.

now, she is ahead in virginia 47-43, but iowa and colorado they a really stand out -- they really stand out. i know they're very very early polls, and we shouldn't make too much of that. but that doesn't make good reading for hillary clinton, does it? >> no, it does not. and it also doesn't make good reading for the 40 some odd percent that think she'd make a good president. this is what baffles me. are these people not aware of, one, the news two what's going on and three what lineup qualities look like? -- what leadership qualities look like? she has hinted at only one reason why people should vote for her, and that's because she is a woman. stuart: it's identity politics. >> that, to me, is not a compelling reason to vote for her. stuart: understood. but identity politics was very successful for barack obama in two elections. you could say that in some elections around the country, identity politics has won significantly. >> true. stuart: and you could say that there is great support for hillary clinton to be the first

woman president of the united states. i don't think you can dismiss her because she's playing the identity game, but i think she should identify what she's doing. >> absolutely. you're right, stuart. the people that are still saying that they would vote for her it's based upon identity politics. the clintons know that the democrats know that, and a lot of people may do that. however, the bright little shining light for me is the fact that last november some people didn't swallow the identity politics which is why we had change of control of the senate, increased control of the house and i happen to believe that over the course of the next several months more people are going to wake up and not be fooled by identity politics. stuart: i want your comment on the fort hood event, terror attack. of course, you know about that. >> yes. stuart: today some of the victims, 43 of them, are going to be honored -- they have been honored with a purple heart. >> right. stuart: however, they're not getting combat benefits because

that is still workplace violence, not an islamic terror attack. what do you make of this e herman? >> well, a medal is nice, but fair compensation would be, would be better. this ises a disgrace. -- this is a disgrace. with all of the money that the federal government wastes on various silly, nonproductive projects, it's a disgrace that they don't fairly compensate those that were wounded in fort hood. and to continue to call it workplace violence, quite frankly is being dishonest with the american people. it was not just workplace violence and i believe that those people that were wounded or lost their lives are not being treated fairly. stuart: herman cain our guest every friday morning and a valued and honored guest at that. herman, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: all right. check out that big board. nice thing to look at on a friday morning. we've got the dow up 76 points, above 18,000. price of gas, the national

average for regular is $2.39. by the way, that's $1.23 cheaper than where it was in this time last year that is money in your pocket. apple's watch officially available for preorder but that's not the only new product that's being launched today by apple. also is the new mac book, and we have one right here on the set with us along with samantha murphy kelley from mashable,.com. you've got one. >> i do right here. stuart: can i hold it? >> yeah, of course. stuart: i know it's precious. is this lighter than the other one? >> yes, it's lighter thinner, more portable, and as you can see, it's gold. it's available in three colors first time the gold has come to a mac book. stuart: but i'm not buying it for the color. i'm trying to open this thing. i got it. okay, well, good looking thing. so what were the shortcomingses here? >> sure. there's a lot to love about it, like we mentioned.

but because it's so thin and, again, that is an amazing selling point there's a lot of limitations within it as well. so, for example the keys, you know apple's trying to say, oh it's thinner so so look at these great features and, again, you can read some of them are limitations. when you press a key, you're traveling less to hit the bottom so it doesn't feel like you're pressing as hard. and the track pad, too it's called force touch. so in addition to just using it like a regular track pad and clicking to the right as well, what you can do is you can hover over a certain word, and it will give you, um, basically a blurb like a wikipedia entry or a definition. and that's a really neat thing too. but what's really interesting is the -- and a lot of people this is the controversial part of it -- is the ports. there's an audio jack on one side and then on the other side there's a usbc port. and apple says this -- stuart: a what? >> a usbc-type port.

basically, everyone is familiar with usb 2.0, 3.0 and now there's the next generation. this is good for many reasons because it'll be thinner, lighter, and you know when you're trying to charge something, you don't have to put it in one way. you can flip it either way, the wire, which is really great. but we're not there yet, so you're going to have to buy an adapter to connect either a smarter smartphone -- certain smartphone or a monitor, so you're going to have to spend a little bit more money. stuart: how much? >> this is 1299. actually a lot more than other mac books, mac book air, and it's actually not as powerful as some of the other models. this is probably perfect for a student. it's portable, it's light, but it's not -- it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a traditional apple computer, so there are definitely some limitations but it's beautiful. stuart: okay. if you were in the market for this kind of computer, would you buy this one? >> it depends what i was using

it for. if i was in school -- stuart: just you. >> honestly, i think it's a little expensive for me for what i would want to do with it, so i think i would probably, if i was going to spend that amount of money, i would want something more powerful and battery life is only nine hours, which a traditional mac book will give you a day's worth. stuart: $1200 for students, that's a little expensive, i would say. samantha kelley, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: isis and the war on christianity. more christians taken hostage in syria and they're demanding $30 million to set them free, but president obama still refuses to call it radical islam. father jonathan morris on that, next. ♪ ♪ you can't predict the market. but at t. rowe price we've helped guide our clients through good times and bad. our experienced investment

abducted, not only are they being, ransom being asked for their lives but they're being brought to the front lines of the war and being used as shields for these terribly evil warriors of isis. stuart suiter right on all counts, but i don't understand why the president won't name it. i don't think he almost ever uses the word "christians" in the context of what's happening in the middle east. he doesn't say it. i don't understand why. >> you know well, you know this is thinking -- the best that i possibly can of his reasoning, he doesn't want to create a religious war between islam and christianity. the fact is that there already is a war. not a religious war from christian the city's point of view -- christianity's point of view, but people in the name of islam slaughtering christians in the middle east. so it's purely academic theoretical at best. what we need is for him not to

get more involved in that world, but rather to tell us how are we as an international community -- i don't mean just the united states going over and starting a ground troops war, but using the leadership of the united states of america to rally international leadership, to stop what's going on. stuart: pope francis has done this hasn't he? not exactly been outspoken, but he's used the right words, has he not? >> he certainly has. he's also said remember, they're being killed precisely because they are christians. he's saying it and he's also saying the international community should stop them. how do you stop terrorists who are slaughtering christians? unfortunately, you have to use violence itself. stuart: whats' the feeling in the united states -- what's the feeling in the united states? both you and i we live in the united states we see what's going on. both of us are practicing christians. from your point of view, how do americans feel about this? is there a degree of exasperation that our president

is not standing up for who we are? >> you know, it's exasperating, no doubt, that you see it only on the news and which here we are bemoaning the reality of this genocide and we're not getting reports. i'm not suggesting that the president has an easy decision. it's not so easy to go and just stop isis. but we need the leadership of saying this is what's happening this is what we're doing. not just waiting to get pressed by political, for political motivation, but rather, this is why we're doing it. there's a moral cause here that we are involved in and this is the type of action we're taking. and to give that as a regular report not just when you're pressed on it. stuart: okay. if the president were to say this is islamic terrorism and this is what we're fighting, would that help? >> of course it would because it would mean that he's more serious about danger that it

poses. i think what he's hoping is that it will go away at least as a domestic issue as a national issue. we can let what's going on in the middle east take care of itself as long as we are not recognizing it for what it is and recognizing that it is a global danger, not just something that's happening over in syria and, hey, listen, that's not really our job. no, this is isis connected to al-qaeda connected to al-shabaab, and so many of these others -- and what do they have in common? they are radical islamists. stuart: father jon than morris thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. stuart: up next, a web site that is designed to let mothers work from home. does it work? back in a moment.
