>> god to be here, stuart. -- good to be here, stuart. that's not me, that's hillary clinton. [laughter] stuart: ashley, you're with us for the hour. welcome back from australia. tell us all about the jet lag in a moment. [laughter] rubio announces today, hillary clinton announced yesterday. the race for the presidency getting interesting. here's what caught my attention with hillary. she will raise $2.5 billion in campaign donations in the run for the white house. republican senator from wyoming john barrasso is with us now. you know, that took my breath away, $2.5 billion. does it seem like an awful lot of money to you, senator? >> well, it really does, stuart. but i will tell you, i served with hillary clinton in the united states senate. she is determined she's disciplined, she does her homework and i think we absolutely have to make sure we don't underestimate her. we cannot take her for granted. but the american people want a change. we don't want just a repeat of what we've had. we need somebody new and a

change in direction for america. stuart: so are -- is the republican party saying we can beat hillary clinton? bring it on? we are confident? can you say that? >> oh, i am confident, but i'm just saying you can't take her for granted. it's going to be a tough, competitive race. but it's going to be a race about ideas. and we just -- we need a remedy to barack obama. we need a change in direction. and that's to get america back working again, let people keep more of their hard earned money so they can make a decision about what to spend, what to invest, what to save. we don't need the government making those decisions for us. but hillary clinton, in her views, obviously she's more of a much bigger government approach, that government has the answers, not the american people. and i put my trust and faith in decisions being made by the american people. stuart: you're on the senate foreign relations committee. you're going to be attending a hearing tomorrow on the corker-menendez bill which requires congressional oversight of any deal with iran.

listen to this quick bite from senator menendez, please. >> well, i think the president has a misguided calculation that if you open your hands to dictators that they will unclench their fists. stuart: how does it stand in the senate at the moment? we were told that you're getting close to the 67 votes you need to override a presidential veto. now i'm told that maybe those 67 votes are not going to be there. what's the status of overriding a presidential veto that demand that congress gets a say in the iran deal? >> yes. we are going to be voting tomorrow in the foreign relations committee. there is bipartisan support to say to the president bring this to congress. take this to the united states people before you take it to the united nations. we will pass that, we will pass it in the committee and we will pass it in the senate. stuart: right. >> the president has threatened to veto and the question is

when it comes back to the senate, will we have the 67 votes? we're continuing to work on that. stuart: are you confident you've got those 67 votes? because that's vital. our viewers i'll tell you what our viewers think they want, they demand a say in that iran deal. they don't want it to go to the united nations first. they don't want it to go over their heads. can you assure the american people that we will get a say in that deal? >> we're still working to get all of the votes. the president is working very hard behind the scenes to try to strip off a democrats who have spoken up in favor of the senate having a say. i'm continuing to work to get those democrats back to voting with us on overriding a presidential veto. you would think, stuart, that the president would embrace, would want the senate's validating, you know, giving credibility to this deal. that's what you would want. you would think the president would ask the senate to do that. it seems baffling to me that he

doesn't want the american people to weigh in. stuart: senator it's not baffling to you. you know as well -- i can see that smile on your face, senator. you know that this is a giveaway to the mullahs and the president doesn't want it to be seen that way. you know that don't you? >> well, i know that the president is pursuing a deal that i'm worried about in terms of our u.s. national security and the security of the world. as what i see of this framework it doesn't do the things the president promised it would do. i think it allows iran to ultimately get a nuclear weapon, and iran with a nuclear weapon makings the world less safe, less stable and less secure. stuart: senator john barrasso from wyoming thanks very much, as usual, for joining us. >> thanks for having me. stuart: what i'm going to call the other huge story, this is what occupied my weekend, shall we say. he's the guy i was rooting for, and it cap off a great -- capped

off a great weekend. he's the 2015 masters champion. finished 18-under-par, he's 21 years old. this guy's a class act. i think he's the new shining star who gives of golf a much-needed shot in the arm. here he is getting the green jacket. didn't quite get it on very easily. [laughter] you can't say get this off me because it doesn't fit. you can't say that you just won the masters. don't do that, young man. joining us now, golf digest's senior editor ashley mayo. you were in augusta, weren't you? >> i was. stuart: i say he's the new shining star who rescues golf if he keeps winning. would you agree with me? >> absolutely. and a lot of people agree with you, not just me. this guy's the real deal. we saw him win the australian open in november, the vas par last month in florida and then his next two pga tour starts were runner-up finishes.

so and that was entering the masters. so he's the real deal. stuart: but he's got character. i mean the guy's intense. >> yes. stuart: what really gets to me is he wants to win. he's not going to lay up and take it easy. he might come in a good second or third and still make some money. this guy wants to win. >> yeah. he had a tremendous lead entering the final round, on sunday morning said i want to get to 20-under. 20-under, by the way, would have been a major championship -- stuart: he almost did, you know he almost did. >> oh, that little putt on the last hole, that would have been a record. instead, he tied tiger's record. stuart: sitting next to you is ashley webster, one of the great things is he's american. >> desperately needed for american golf. he's very intense, he's quite a gentleman more such a young man, but he doesn't perhaps, have the by sat of a mickelson or -- pizazz of a mickelson or a fist-pumping tiger woods. can he galvanize america?

does he just have to keep winning? >> absolutely, he has to keep winning and we all think he will. he does have that pizazz, just in a more subtle way. man, does he get people going. the pga tour's facebook photo announcing that he won is their most-liked of all time by 140%. >> really? stuart: here's something i noticed, all of the golfers -- not just spieth, every single one of the golfers they never take their hat off. and when they do, scratch their head, they make sure everybody can still see the logo. [laughter] that's where the money is. >> we're all savvy, so -- stuart: do you play? >> yes. stuart: handicap? >> 2 the. >> oh my -- stuart: oh you didn't have to tell me that. [laughter] >> it's fun. he really does get the crowd going. on our social channels as well, people are very excited. stuart: okay. so we're in agreement. if he keeps winning, he's the new star, he saves golf. >> absolutely. [laughter] stuart: okay.

great way to start a monday morning. thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. stuart: bad news for retailers who do not assign workers to consistent schedules. lauren simonetti has the story in case you missed it. >> hi, stuart, good morning. some popular retailers or are being targeted for how they treat their work e. the new york attorney general eric schneiderman, sending letters to 13 retailers wanting to know how they staff their stores. some of them under fire for requiring workers to show up or to stay home with very little notice. if a retailer does this, they may be violating a new york law which says that they must pay workers who show up at least four hours' pay. so basically a half day's pay even if they're sent home right away. the 13 stores that are being targeted include target gap, abercrombie & fitch, jcpenney. it's clearly beneficial to the companies, it allows them to staff stores only when they are

busy. but as for the workers, it's very tough. tough, a -- can you have to, a, rely on the pay you mite not get, work your daycare schedules around that practice accordingly. it make sense, especially when these workers stuart, they have to be available when they're needed for, like, double hours and all of that. stuart: i can see both sides of coin on this one i really can. fair and balanced. lauren, thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. stuart: up next, christy ram pone, captain of the women's u.s. soccer team. here's the question, will women ever make as much money in that sport? my answer, not a prayer. but first, another congratulations for the masters winner, here he is 21 years old. hats off to you, young man, even if the jacket doesn't quite fit. [laughter] >> we're very proud of you. >> thank you very much. [applause]

[laughter] she's the tap cane -- captain of the u.s. women's soccer team, and she's heading to a fifth women's world cup in june. welcome to the show. >> thanks for having me. stuart: let's talk money. >> let's talk. [laughter] stuart: i'm told there's only maybe five women who can make $100,000 a year out of soccer. is that accurate? >> there's a little bit more

now. i'd say maybe around 20. stuart: really? >> yes. stuart: where does that money come from? i mean, i don't think it comes from a professional league, does it? >> no, it's a combination. a combination of u.s. sock or a combination of the league as well as sponsors. stuart: why do you think it is? i mean we've got, what is it, renaldo? 300,000 a week? >> yeah. we're not there yet. [laughter] stuart: do you think you will get there? >> i mean maybe eventually, but that's years and years away. like, we're just, you know we're just playing because we love it. stuart: i'm being nasty, aren't i? i'm pushing you into a corner. >> 19 years i'm going to retire, and then i'm going to find another job. [laughter] stuart: you are 39 years old, and you're going into your fifth women's world cup. you're a defender. >> correct. stuart: what's your odds? >> very good. stuart: you were the championship team of '98? >> '99. haven't won since. stuart: you were on that team. >> i was on that team.

hopefully start with a world cup win and probably finish with a world cup win. stuart: are you the favorite? >> we are one of favorites. we're second in the world, but i like that. >> who's first? >> germany. >> bloody germany. [laughter] you have australia, nigeria and sweden in your group games, so feel confident ability that? >> confident. i like it, because it's the group of death. i like to play the toughest competition because it'll be good going into the next round. >> australians tough? >> yes. stuart: june the 6th, it starts. now, you don't make much money out of soccer, is that true? >> i mean, enough to live. not to retire off of. stuart: the decent money is in enforcements. >> correct. stuart: you've got an endorsement. >> i do. stuart: what is it? >> it's called epicore. it's a safe and natural supplement. stuart: you use this? >> use it every day. one a day. stuart: for a long time? >> three years. stuart: and you are testifying?

earn user in this cub. concern earners many this country. as you said, the top 20% pay 84% of all federal income taxes. 40% 40% of americans pay negative income taxes. so they are being, essentially they're being supplemented by the other 60%. stuart: so the bottom 40% of income earners don't pay any federal income tax. they get a check in the mail to pump up their income. >> they do. the government files benefits through income tax, earned income credit and education credit. stuart: what fascinated me was to be in the top 20%, you need to earn $134,000 or more. >> correct. stuart: now in some parts of this country $134,000 a year doesn't make you rich. >> san francisco, new york. any of these places you cannot live that well. stuart: massachusetts, new jersey, new york state, much of california. >> exactly right. stuart: you can't live that well. more on this later.

stuart: well, it was a lot worse than that, actually. he was also apologizing for the dark periods in america's history. fox news national security analyst k.t. mcfarland is here. how does -- this is not the first apology. >> oh, my god, this is a continuing saga can. it's a series. the first was right after he took the oath of office when he went to the middle east. stuart: the objective of apologizing for our perceived past faults, if the objective of doing that is to change our policy and make them think nicely of us -- >> uh-huh, not working. stuart: -- it's a total failure. >> just the opposite. in fact, it encourages them to take advantage of us. i think it stems from the president's world view and mindset. he does not think america has necessarily been a force for good in the world, and so he goes around on the apology tour. even in washington when he goes to a prayer breakfast, he apologizes and scolds christians or compares isis to the crusades.

it's a mindset that america has not been a force for good in the world and that somehow if we just take a step back, lead from behind no longer are the world's superpower that somehow the global community, whatever that means, is going to come, and we're all going to live happily ever after. stuart: ashley kt, the failure is obvious. it has negative results. i mean, the middle east is exploding putin's running riot. >> uh-huh. lack of leadership has its impact, and we've seen that. stuart: why doesn't it change? if it is manifestly a failure, why doesn't the president put some backbone into our foreign policy? >> i think it's also, you have to learn from your mistakes. and if you look throughout this presidency, the president has never changed his mind on anything. he continues to full steam ahead whether it's working or not. if we're going to have some "kumbaya" world-based community world-based international order what about isis? what about iran and nuclear weapons? they're not playing by our rules. they want to have new rules that

they're in charge. stuart: he's going to leave this world in a mess. >> yes. stuart: and his successor has a big job of doing something about it which which brings us to hillary clinton. kt, she was secretary of state. can she run on her record as secking tear of state running for the presidency -- secretary of state running for the presidency? >> that's a tough one. [laughter] you know, there's a reset with russia. that didn't work out too well. putin's shoving his way all around eastern europe and the world. we have president assad as a reformer he's now butchered probably 200,000 people. the libyan war, the invegas of libya to knock off -- invasion of libya to knock off gadhafi and what was going to happen hen, i guess democracy was going to break out. instead we have jihadi chaos in benghazi. i think the biggest problem hillary has is those e-mails aren't gone. she thinks she's erased them, the ones that were surrounding the benghazi period. they exist. the russians hacked 'em, the chinese hacked 'em.

according to nsa experts, there are probably at least four groups -- they still exist. stuart: well, listen to what carly fiorina said morning on fox news concerning foreign policy and hillary clinton. roll tape. >> she doesn't have a track record of results. let's just look at her time as secretary of state. honestly, we had the benghazi attack which she misled, purposely the american people about for over a month. the world is demonstrably a more dangerous place on her watch. i've met vladimir putin, and she thinks she can thwart his ambition with a gimmicky red reset button? stuart: there's not much success there. but do american voters care that much about foreign policy? >> i don't think they do as a general rule. this time they might. why? because it looks to most people, the majority of americans, that we are no longer a society or a civilization on the rise that we are inevitably in decline. we've heard this from the liberal elite for so long that the majority of us believe it. so there is the issue of

leadership. is there anybody out there who can restore america's leadership? i look at hillary clinton and say the only thing she's really got going for her is that second x chromosome. and i get that. i'm a woman of a generation where we were discriminated against, where we did have to to break the glass ceiling, you know? the first job i got out of college was as a secretary not as my male counterparts could get in a professional capacity so i get all that. >> yeah. >> the question is, will women decide okay, maybe she's not that good maybe she's not that qualified, but after all, let's break the glass ceiling? >> it's a good question. i think she's going to struggle because i think she's a lousy politician. there's nothing more cringe worthy than watching hillary clinton trying to relate to the locals. i think she's a really poor campaigner and ultimately, she'll be fine in debates and the rest of it, but i don't know whether she's going to really connect. stuart well, i'm looking forward to this afternoon when marco rubio declares. >> yeah. he's a very inspirational guy. stuart: and he will do it a live

top. stuart: interesting. okay. how about number three, blake? >> reporter: there was the campaign logo. you can just look at the logo, it was that blue h with the redder row that was pointing forward -- red arrow that was pointing forward. according to a memo sent by the hillary clinton staff out to top democrats, they feel that president obama took the economy forward, and they say it cannot go backwards. stuart: blake berman right there at headquarters for the hundt campaign certainly in new york city. thank you -- for the hillary clinton campaign certainly in new york city. see you again soon. not much on the specifics. you don't expect it, i got that. you're not running on foreign policy. you don't tell us how you're going to restore prosperity, but you do tell us you're going to raise $2.5 billion. >> but inspiringly she's going to be the champion of the people. stuart: you know sarcasm -- and you are jet lagged because you've jutte flown back -- just flown back from australia. >> i'll sleep sometime this week.
