ressure, let's hand it over to stewart it's time for varney and company. >> thank you very much indeed. does america have the -- what did you say? i i didn't hear that? serious questions to kick us off this monday morning. does america have any friends left? have we any clout anywhere? good monday morning everyone. our friend, the king of saudi arabia will not show up at the camp david summit this week. president obama is trying to sell his newt deal with iran at that meeting but four of six gulf leaders will not be there. however look who showed up. next to putin in red square. china's leader. these guys are our rivals, and they teamed up. our new thought you think you heard the last of the deflate gate the new bet is tom brady will be suspended. the patriots have few friends.
11:01 am
and then take a look at this. how about that? the can i say. the embrace. if ricky fouler and his bikini girlfriend can't help golf, nothing will. varney and company is about to begin. all right. first thing monday morning let's take a look at the big board i call it pretty much not quite dead flat but dead, down 31 points for the dow 18,159, let's take a look at this. netflix hitting an all time new high. look at it go. 583 dollars a share closing in maybe 600. new high. netflix. what a stock. and look at zulily, we call that the chinese amazon, we're up 9% at 14 for zulily.
11:02 am
and then there's uber, could soon be worth -- well, actually it is now. worth 50 billion dollars. there's a new round of funding that could help uber make it just as valuable as target stores, kraft foods, if he had i can say and caterpillar what do you make of a 50 billion dollar price tag that gets you a car? >> uber overrated. this is all based on future impersonating companies you mentioned, they all make money. uber does not make a profit. >> right. >> so the round of funding that we've seen for this company, again it's the third or fourth round is unprecedented in tech financing circles. the question is they say they're going to grow 400% this year, stewart that's a big stake we're not seeing a sign of that. so is the evaluation a little bit big.
11:03 am
and go to has been they have legal trouble. >> they do. >> they've been kicked out of some places. >> yes, they have. >> they've had trouble in europe and india. >> when i saw 50 billion, i was shocked. >> well, for a company that's not making money right now. >> remind you 1997 or 8. >> yeah. we know how that turned out. >> but not that i'm suggesting that. >> no. >> but at the top of the hour, we asked this question. does america have any friends left? here's more on the story. the new king of saudi arabia snubs president obama skipping the summit this week had now it's four of six gulf arab leaders, they're not going to be there and the king of saudi arabia was supposed to have a one-on-one meeting with president obama before this summit in america. it's all off. what's going on here? >> well, you know, meeting from behind,ton paid off now we have allies who no longer
11:04 am
trust us, and we have adversaries that no longer fear us. >> it's the he had been of the deal he can't tell cell it to congress. >> no. >> he can't sell it to the arabs. >> no. >> i think they have already won, but the bottom line is that syngetting nuclear weapons and the country is in a region that as you just pointed out they're not listening to president obama they're going to do what they said they're going to do. if iran gets news, we get news. >> last week on this show, ashley. >> yes. >> katie said within five years, there will be a nuclear incident. he didn't say exchange or war he said incident. >> absolutely terrifying. >> yeah. you hold into that. >> yeah. since the dawn of the atomic age the nightmare scenario has been nuclear weapons, and that's what you have in the middle east. you have a cult of suicide bombers, and it's only a matter of time before some
11:05 am
kind of nuclear -- i'm not saying nuclear war, but some kind of nuclear weapon is used in one way or another. >> saudi arabia, then you think egypt possibly? and then turkey. >> and then you have countries that are unstable which we have seen in the arab spring, countries that can get toppled overnight. >> yeah. >> and then you have nuclear weapons in a region which shouldn't be allowed to play with matches. >> that's terrifying. your reaction to this. i was shocked to see it. chinese leader together and putin standing together, a 25 million dollars deal, and a cyber security deal between the two they're got an hack each other. what does that mean for us? >> i don't believe that. none of our leaders were there -- we said we wouldn't go. >> we're not going to go because of ukraine.
11:06 am
and the on whole goal of the american policy was to separate china from russia, from the two communist giants, and the reagan administration it was to beat the soviet union, now what you see is just the opposite, they're together. >> i've got to move move to this one the journalist says he says obama lied about america acting loan when killing bin ben. >> the pakistanis are making good money by keeping obama live and taking our doe. >> okay. we've got more top stories for you. lauren has them in the headlines and the segment we call in case you've missed it. latterth all right lauren, go. >> good monday morning the trademark and other intellectual property of the bankrupt company impose for
11:07 am
auction any main they make will be used to pay back the creditors. sometimes the name of a bankrupt company helps business find success online at a later date. let's show you me this painting. it goes at auction at christie's today expected is 150 million dollars, it could be the highest ever paid for a work of art the second highest sold a couple of years ago was 142 million. so it will be close. and let's say i'm craving chinese food for dinner, i open if i michigan food and type in chinese food, the closest restaurants pop up based on my location, i choose the items that i want from that restaurant, and the chinese food that i want is delivered to my door. google is going to use this data not to delivery us food, although that will happen, but to know what we want, when we want and how we like our food. what do you think of that?
11:08 am
>> i think that i know the chinese restaurants in my immediate neighborhood, and i don't have to pick up the phone to find them . >> so you think it's silly. >> no. i don't think it's silly. >> drive around other areas -- >> no, i think the last point you made, they want to know everything about us. >> yeah. >> they can sell it. >> yeah. they'll sell the data and i'll buy the stock on that. >> you don't need to look at the menu you know that, stewart. >> yeah. that's drew. hold on, everybody. i want to talk golf. >> yeah. >> because i was glued -- you were too; right? >> absolutely. >> all the would you weigh through 8:00 eastern. ricky fouler winning the championship. and, boy, did he do it in a dramatic fashion. he's 26 years old. now, wait a minute watch this. that's the champ kissing his bikini model girlfriend.
11:09 am
alexis after he won. if this isn't good for the game of golf, i don't know what is. do you have any comment at all? >> i was struck how passionate it was, it wasn't uncomfortable, but i'm like, wow this is pretty hot. this is what golf needs. they need a young infusion to take the game, take the man from tiger so i think this is it. i think that ricky fouler and alexa -- >> the women in my household. >> yeah. >> say that he is hot and that can i say will save golf. so the two ladies in the studio at the moment. >> i want to be kissed like that. >> is he hot. >> he's really hot. >> it was mother's day. he should have had mom out there and give him a hug. >> mom was there. >> all right. i think we've got to move on. [laughter] >> you're getting the point. maybe golf has been saved on sunday afternoon. >> yeah. >> thank you very much. multiple sources say that tom brady will be suspended. an announcement will come any moment.

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
11:13 am
>> if i say it's a dead flat monday morning, i think that's legitimate; right? >> that's true. >> it says it all. down at 11. here we go. price of oil sitting just below $60 a barrel, and price of gasoline went up over the weekend, but not much and we're at an average of 2.65. real fast for you this morning. first up the pollen tsunami the green ease are blaming global warning and she's
11:14 am
going to set them straight. orning. and boston university professor sends out rational tweets going after white males, yes, it is free speech, but is this what we've come to? the popular millennial will get at that. and next the plate that tells you how healthy your meal is. just put the food on the plate, and it tells you -- your smartphone. they're raising money, would you invest in that. >> no. because i don't know what i'm eating. i just like it. >> ta now this. multiple sources say the nfl will announce the suspension of tom brady. could be suspended for up to eight game, and he won't be there on kickoff night. fox sports right here. that will be a huge story. >> eight games isn't going to happen. that's too much. that's not what you're going
11:15 am
to get. >> okay. >> but we might see a couple of games here -- >> even if it's just one game, it's the first game of the season when they unveil -- >> it's thursday night football it's the opening kickoff, everyone has been waiting all summer for football and jimmy is at quarterback, not tom brady? it's a huge deal. the nfl has to make a decision and they've already thrown it at the falcons pumping in sound noise to the dome, and then texting people on the field from the booth up top. >> yeah. >> and he was band four games for next year. so if they're letting this kind of punishment for those kinds of things, actually deflating the factional and if they find that brady can be suspended for he'll miss sometime . >> do you think that brady endeared interfered with the
11:16 am
integrity of the game? >> i think there are a lot of sources thank the patriots are known to try to circumvent the rules to get a little bit of an advantage and tom brady didn't have to deflate these to beat the colts but i do think he did have something to do with this. >> you're hedging. >> because the report was 243 pages, and they didn't say he did it. he said more probably than not, which to me is them hedging the wells report, so for me not having all that information saying, yeah, they did it, i can't because they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get this report done, and they can't say that he did this. >> but if he were to release his e-mails and all his text messages. >> right. >> if he did that, then you could set that this question. did he intentionally have the balls deflated and interfere with the game. >> exactly. now, when rob effort was
11:17 am
interviewed for this game, he did give up his cell phone and e-mails, and that's the arguments that you can make. the league office themselves said we're an open book, and brady hasn't been, where the ball boy did give up his text. >> you've got ashley and i sitting here saying now, is this really such a huge story? >> i mean that's what we both and isn't it? >> it is so. >> football is hugely popular. >> yeah. let's be honest. >> it's wildly financially successful. >> yeah. >> brady suspended for one game, is that such a buying bigg deal? >> it is. it's the player and the team, the they have won four championships since the 2000s and belichick is the greatest -- >> and that's the ultimate red mark on his legacy, well, he
11:18 am
won but you don't want that out there. because of what the nfl has been throughed with all these scandals and now you have the super bowl champions being questioned for their integrity. >> can we just run the can i say again from yesterday afternoon? can't we just run that one more time? >> ricky fowler is very good for sports. >> look at that. i wish we had the video. it went on for some duration i might add. >> i watched it. >> all three of us watched it. >> johnny miller. i watched it . >> so is he the new guy -- >> i thought jordan spieth was the new guy next weekend billa -- golf is fine. golf is fine. >> wait it's a new generation. >> yeah. fowler has been around with the puma spornships,. >> i'm a hedger. a had had hedger.

>> at least two dozen people were hurt, several homes destroyed in the town of van in texas, about 70 miles southeast of dallas. a tornado touched down there yesterday. now, officials also say there are multiple fatalities. the exact number is still not known. please take a look at this. a family from michigan unknowingly racked up $17,000 in roaming charges on a trip to canada. one of the kids was watching youtube videos just to pass the time. here's what the said. >> they wanted to charge me $17,000, you know, i just think it's insanity, we're willing to pay what the actually rate would be, actual
11:24 am
couple hundred dollars, but this is, like, buying a new car for a roaming charge. >> now ashley, i've got two points to make. >> yeah. >> there are two stories here. >> yeah. >> first of all, the $17,000 in roaming charges, that is huge. >> yeah. >> and secondly is invisible board. >> yeah. >> i don't know if it's a girl or boy. >> 11-year-old boy. >> go on vacation and all they do is watching youtube, must have been none stop. >> yeah. five hours, i think $17,000 for five hours. >> are you kidding me? >> yeah. and it was like, 11,000 in the first hour, and it linked into his fathers work cell phone and was clouded his data downloading. >> oh. >> so that's what happened and the father goes to work and we're, like, frank, we need to talk to you about your work bill. >> but the second point to make is that the kid is on vacation and they're down
11:25 am
there and that's the world we live in now. i'm just convinced you go to the grand canyon it's amazing, and i bet you see kids doing this. >> yeah. >> and probably in disneyland people are bumping into mickey because they're not looking up. >> you sound like you don't approve. >> my kid who plays video games says she knows what rome looks like. >> i get it, but life is going by, and it goes by in a heartbeat anyway, so look up and look around . >> did we ever find out who paid the $17,000? the company or -- >> it was waived. at&t just waived it. >> they did. >> smart move. >> all right. waived. illinois facing a massive budget crisis, and it's on the blank, that constituent. because of pension obligations. the union -- well, i could say they're holding the state

11:30 am
stuart: we call it the land of reddington but the state of finances there is not a joke, the governor is talk bankruptcy. the judge is here. a state cannot declare bankruptcy, can it? >> well, this would not be the state of illinois declaring itself bankrupt, that would have catastrophic financial consequences. stuart: yes, it would. >> this is a single pension fund, or maybe there's more than one pension fund that would be
11:31 am
declared in bankruptcy. so basically, the haircut so to speak, that the pensioners would take would not be dictated by their elected representatives in springfield, illinois, it would be dictated by one federal judge probably sitting in chicago, and that judge would make all the decisions. stuart: however i think it's the supreme court of michigan has said that's a contract, and you've got to live up to it. you must. >> supreme court of illinois. stuart: i'm sorry, yes. so could the bankruptcy judge say it was a contract, and you've got to do something in illinois to make good all this money? >> yes yes, great question. bankruptcy judges have the authority, essentially, to interfere with contracts even in ways that state governments can't. so a bankruptcy judge should say i find and declare after looking at all of the money that's available and looking at the pension commitments, it is impossible for you, the state of illinois, to provide for the health, safety, welfare and morality of the people in illinois and still comply with
11:32 am
11:33 am
>> they never said he did it, they said there's probably a good chance he knew about it. >> that would not wash in the courts. but it washes with the nfl. private entities like fox, can discipline on the basis of probabilities not on the basis of certainties. there's no requirement of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. if roger goodell wants to shore up this game, major assaults on its integrity will be deflected -- stuart: i hope i'm never in a court before you -- [laughter] because i'm a dead man. >> you know what it would cost tom? stuart: what? >> it would cost him probably about $25 million.
11:34 am
stuart: are you on first name terms with tom? >> no, no, not after this. [laughter] stuart: you hold on right there. >> all right. stuart: cuba's president raul castro, says he may join the catholic church after meeting with pope francis. on the phone father jonathan morris. father, i am reminded of the story of the prodigal son. this looks like the prodigal son raul castro returns to the fold. what say you? >> that's right. and what we do know is that he had a 55-minute interview or meeting with pope francis. that is a very long time in comparison to other meetings with heads of state. also interesting, stuart, was that it was a meeting just between the two of them. there was nobody else in the room. the secretary of state from the vatican was not there, no other leaders from the cuban government. so certainly, it was a very personal meeting. now, does that mean the pope should just say, you know, we're
11:35 am
going to talk about you coming back to the church and not talk about some of the atrocities done against the people of cuba by raul and his brother, fidel? no. and i'm quite confident that pope francis would have talked about those things as well. stuart: but you know, we often say, we often think that the holy father has tilted left in his politics, and maybe this is some indication that yes he's tilted left in his politics. he has great sympathy for the left. what say you on that? >> well, you know he's not a politician, first and foremost. he's a pastor. so just as i would have a meeting with anyone in my church -- stuart: i be, father -- but, father, he's playing a political role if he brings back a communist into the church fold. that is a political role that the holy father is playing. >> well, there's no such thing as coming back to the catholic church without conversion, without change, without repentance. otherwise it's just show.
11:36 am
and you can bet that before raul castro is welcomed back into the church he will be invited to do a very good confession and to make very clear changes beginning with respecting the dignity of every human being. stuart: okay. >> that's not happening right now in cuba. stuart: okay. father, look, thanks very much for joining us. i think we can all around this table agree with that position you've just taken, father jonathan. we do have the judge still with us who is a practicing catholic, and what say you to this? >> i would hope and think the church would welcome him with open arms as it would any sinner who confesses a sin and wants forgiveness. stuart: i do feel the pope has taken a political role here. >> i agree with you. listen the pope may single-handedly be responsible for the thawing of relations between cuba and the united states. he may well have been the go-between, and whether you agree with that it apparently has established some relationship with raul castro which may result in the salvation of his soul.
11:37 am
stuart: spiritually was i accurate in using the parable of the prodigal son? young man goes away, he spends all the money, he lives off the fatted calf -- >> then he comes back. stuart: -- he comes back, and his father welcomes him back. his brother is really angry about this. >> i've been here all along, and you -- i thought your comparison was nothing short of brilliant. [laughter] stuart: okay. you have rehabilitated. [laughter] >> from the tom brady rant, i'm rehabilitated? [laughter] stuart: yes. spiritual reinvigoration. >> thank you. stuart: all right, now this. hold on a second. rickie fowler, come from behind win at the players championship. can we get the video, the video of the kiss, the embrace, the whole ball of wax? that's what i want. look, rickie fowler is a young guy, handsome, very pretty girlfriend. she's a bikini model, for heaven sake. can he save the sport? more on the kiss, next.

stuart: all right. you know we never forget about apple on this program, and listen to this. there's a new report that says china's smartphone market, which is the largest in the world, shrank for the first time in six years. that happened in the first three months of this year. that is big news, and it's taken apple's stock down 1%. we're back to 126 on apple. now this: golf blogger stephanie wade she streamed a pga event via periscope. pga turned around, revoked her credentials and kicked her off the tour. look who's here stephanie wade, joining us in new york city. welcome to the program. >> thanks for having me. stuart: let me get this straight, you go to a golfing event, you hold up your
11:43 am
smartphone and using periscope you stream all the event on to this to anybody who wants to watch for free. >> well, it was a practice round, actually. stuart: okay. >> a monday practice round, pretty quiet, and i streamed -- i followed jordan spieth in a practice round and the response i was getting was tremendous. people were saying -- comments stream up on the feed and you can see them live and people were saying things like this is what periscope was invented for, more like this -- stuart: it's true. >> and i saw it as a new way to engage fans and boost interest in the tour and its players. stuart: well, was that not allowed? pga said no, you can't do that? >> yeah. they said it was against their regulation. stuart: i don't know how you could stop it, because i could go to a golf event or any sporting event and stream anything live using my smartphone. i mean how do they propose to stop this happening in the future? >> well, i think fans are allowed to do this from monday to wednesday technically. they can video and take pictures until the cows go home.
11:44 am
stuart: monday to wednesday. >> yeah monday to wednesday. stuart: practice rounds. >> i guess they can now take pictures when the golfers aren't hitting, i was told that was the case last week at the players, but just not when the golfers are hitting the shots but you can't stop it. i think it's time for the tour to modernize its regulations perhaps. stuart: periscope and this streaming undermines the broadcast networks and the golf channel which -- >> right. stuart: -- they paid a lot of money to put it on real tv, so to speak. >> right. but i don't think it would detract people from watching the telecast because it's about the viewing experience. stuart: true. >> if you're watching it on your phone, i mean it's not the best quality in the world, especially if you're a fan and you're in the gallery, you don't have a great angle or what have you you know it might drive people to see it, oh, this looks interesting maybe i'll go watch it on tv. stuart: maybe. you're saying it drives the market. >> i think so. stuart: i don't think the pga
11:45 am
sees it that way. >> i don't think so either. [laughter] stuart: they've got a contract. >> and i understand. they have to respect their broadcasting partners and these relationships, and i would understand, you know if nbc or golf channel called them and said what's going on with this, you know? so i understand that their stance but the way that we're digesting media and how we consume it is rapidly changing. stuart: it sure is. you're into the world of golf, and we just can't let you walk off this set without showing you rickie fowler from yesterday afternoon. i think -- yeah, we've got the video. >> there you go. stuart: we've got the video. okay, this is the kiss and the embrace which went on for some time, i might add. [cheers and applause] my daughters, four of them, tell me that that is the kiss and the embrace which will reinvigorate golf. he's hot, she's hot. >> i think he's been around for a while and he's been marketed very well. this was only his second pga tour win and it was
11:46 am
interesting. earlier in the week "sports illustrated" came out with a poll, it was anonymous survey by pga tour pros, and fowler was tied with ian poulter as most overrated golfer. and then he goes out and wins the biggest tournament -- stuart you know what i'm talking about. >> yeah. i thought jordan spieth was supposed to reinvigorate golf. stuart: is jordan spieth hot? >> i think he's attractive with a hat on. [laughter] stuart: is he bald or something? >> he has a reseeding hairline at 21 -- re ceding hairline at 21. rickie has, you know the bright-colored clothes, he's great with fans, he's great with the media, he's a nice all-around good guy. stuart: so here's the question, key question, rory, spieth and rickie, up and coming generation. hot young guys real talent. will that give the game of golf the shot in the arm that it does
11:47 am
need? >> i think so. i think that we need to move past the tiger woods era as much as people don't want to let go of tiger woods winning another major. it might happen, i'm not saying it won't but i think he's a little bit past his prime, and where we need to focus are on the younger guys like jordan and rickie and rory and so many others. the depth is so huge. stuart it's incredible. you going to get your credentials back? >> i hope so, but the pga tour does not run the majors and those are the important ones right? stuart: i didn't know that. >> i didn't either. >> yeah. it's run by different governing bodies. stuart: so do you think you'll get your credentials back to cover nonmajors? >> well i hope so. [laughter] stuart: do you have a lawyer? >> yeah, i do. [laughter] stuart: i hope you don't have to pay too much to get your credentials back. we wish you the best of luck. thanks very much, indeed. >> thanks for having me. stuart: all right. they are calling it the pollen tsunami.

that, and the swimming pool is completely full -- >> he's good with lawn maintenance. stuart: janice dean, ladies and gentlemen, she just popped up out of nowhere. >> i'm sorry. stuart: jumped in. this is a story for janice dean, the weather machine. are you listening for this? >> i am. stuart: the formal intro. how bad is the pollen season? it is being called a tsunami. guess what? the greenies blame climate change because of the long, cold winter, got it? here she is, janice dean is with us. let me look at the logic, see if you agree with this. >> okay. stuart: the winter, long and cold. stretched way into mar and into early april. that's because of climate change. that created a ton of pollen from the trees, because they had a restricted pollen season coincided with the grass pollen season so now we're all suffering and it's because of climate change. >> i came prepared. how are your allergies, guys? [laughter] here's your kleenex.
11:54 am
stuart: i don't have allergies never have. >> i'm doing okay too. how about you, ashley? here is the thing dr. clifford bassett, he's the director of allergy and asthma care in new york, he's the one that came up with this term tsunami of pollen. he's the one. so what does that do for his business? >> good question. drumming it up. >> right? they're saying, oh, my gosh, please fix me, give me anything. stuart: some people are suffering. >> yes, absolutely but last year was the pollen vortex. so, again i just don't like the hype surrounding this. yes, the winter was prolonged -- stuart: was that because of global warming and climate change? >> here's the thing. i went back to science, okay? scientists say the pollen numbers are not that unusually high for the first week of may. and there's nothing close to record-breaking right now in the pollen -- >> no tsunami. stuart: you haven't answered the question. climate change is that -- >> listen. the climate has been evolving and changing since the beginning of the atmosphere. climate change is always going to happen stuart.
11:55 am
stuart: okay. love that voice. [laughter] you're not done yet. >> oh, i'm not? stuart: roll tape please. the can kiss. the embrace. i know we're maybe overdoing this a little bit, but janice dean is here. >> that looks planned. they want a reality tv series.

stuart: is there no end to president obama's floundering of foreign policy? what a mess we woke up to. one, the saudi king will not show up at camp david, the summit there, where president obama is going to promote the iran nuke deal. they don't want their bitter enemies to get a bomb. they're going to get one of their own. oh, what a mess. two guess who stood next to putin in red square for the 70th anniversary of the allied victory in world war ii? china's leader.
12:00 pm
he was there to sign a huge energy deal. and a cybersecurity agreement. they won't hack each other. three, president obama's tax and spend policies went on trial in britain's election, and they lost big. the socialist, ed miliband, wanted a mansion tax, a millionaires' tax and restrictions on what the brits could say about islam. his ideas were soundly defeated. the bottom line here is that america looks weak. in the real world, our enemies and rivals take advantage of that. but take heart, think back to 1979. gas lines and iran held our diplomats hostage. america's weakness was on full display, but we all remember what happened with the election of 1980, don't we? >> in this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem government is the problem. ♪ ♪
12:01 pm
stuart: check that big board, it's been -- no, it's not been positive all morning, but just a minor loss. that's what i'll call it -24 points, that's not much of a loss. 18164. sue lily is higher. alibaba's bought a piece of it, they spent $150 million. maybe somebody else will chip in some money and the stock will go higher still. price of oil not moving much at all, right at $60 a barrel. price of gasoline went up a bit more over the weekend. we are now at $2.65, that's the national average per gallon of regular. next up, sports. multiple sources say the nfl will suspend tom brady for maybe eight games. football's opening night, and brady arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, might not be playing.
12:02 pm
here's fox sports' pete schrager from our last hour. >> the patriots are known to habitually try to circumvent the rules to get an advantage whether it's the letter of the law and you're asking me if he's questionable -- tom brady didn't have to deflate these footballs to beat the indianapolis colts. i do think he did have something to do with this. stuart: we could get the news of a brady suspension at nay moment. of course -- at any moment. all right, we have a breaking story that a we're following. this is los angeles international airport. a skywest plane had trouble with one of its some of its landing gear, forced to land with just one wheel. you can see it leaning on its side. that would get you worried if you were in that plane, wouldn't it? no word how many people were onboard but we're told everybody is okay. it's dramatic video. i'm calling it more of a failure of the president's foreign policy. the saudi king snubs the
12:03 pm
president at the camp david summit, and more than that, putin and china teaming up. fox news contributor gillian turner is with us. now, we've got these developments where our friends are walking away from us, our enemies are getting together against us but so far i've not seen any impact on us here in america. do you think we will? >> i think that we absolutely will, and i also think let's not mince words about exactly what the king's refusal to attend the camp david summit is. this is a very strong signal to the administration of his displeasure over iran nuclear negotiations and the president's failure to really adequately back up arab allies in the region and hedge against iran. i think this is going to be a huge missed opportunity for the administration. we're working on a lot of things very closely with the saudis right now from pushing back against isis in iraq and syria to conflict in yemen. stuart: another person who will not be there is the ruler of
12:04 pm
bahrain. america's fifth fleet is headquartered it's stationed in bahrain. and i think it was two other gulf arab leaders will not be there. so four of the six leaders of gulf arab states they're not going to be at this summit. opportunity that really doesn't that spell the end of any nuke deal with iran? >> well i think this is very quickly this camp david summit becoming really a summit of foreign ministers. and in the case of saudi foreign ministers and even as kind of far down the food chain as the interior ministers. so it's very likely that this is going to to have long-lasting reper cutses for the nuclear deal can. -- repercussions for the nuclear deal. stuart: when do we pay the price? what price will we pay? >> we will pay a big price in the long term because russia and china, as we know readily acknowledge and understand that cyber is really the new frontier of national security. this new cyber agreement that you mentioned earlier is really not just an agreement to refrain
12:05 pm
from attacking one another, it's much more than that. they've agreed to share intelligence with one another under this agreement and share information from are law enforcement communities. so it's a much bigger deal. stuart: they're ganging up together, essentially, looking at us as the rivals. they're ganging up against us. now, that's a reversal of the foreign policy we've had since president nixon's day, isn't it? >> it is in some regards. and in some very important regards it's a step backwards. when we talk about this, what we really mean is the projection of u.s. power not only regionally, but across the globe. and we talk about u.s. influence we talk about political power, economic power. we're faltering a little bit in each of these areas. and, you know, something important here is we're seeing not only middle east adversaries take advantage of this but now longer standing, traditional allies that we've hedged against very well for a long time pushing back against us like china and russia.
12:06 pm
stuart: who would have thought we'd arrive at this. gillian turner, thank you very much, indeed for joining us. >> thank you. stuart: let's bring in steve moore in washington and look at domestic policy for a moment here. i say that domestic policy is a mess because we have not returned to prosperity. i want to know what policy tools are available in the next 18 months to fix the economic mess that we've got on our hands? >> that's a tough one. laugh i mean, i think, you know, we've been waiting for six years for some of these policies to take place, and none of them have. i think there's low hanging fruit when it comes to cutting the corporate tax rate. i think that's pretty obvious. i think republicans and democrats agree with that. stuart: but it's not going to happen steve. >> that's right. you've asked me a tough question stuart. i mean, what can we do with this president in the white house? i'll tell you one thing that we need to get done i do think we need to get this trade deal done with east asia. i think it is good for american workers, i think it's good for american consumers, i think it's
12:07 pm
good for the global economy. so i would like to see president bush -- i mean, president bush -- president obama pushing harder on this trade deal to get it done, because i think that has very positive ramifications for the u.s. stuart: yes over the long term i agree with you, the trade deal would make a difference over the long term. but if we're sliding down our economy -- and it is -- >> right. stuart: -- virtually no growth at the moment, maybe a modest pick up, maybe. i just don't see what this president and what this administration is going to do about it. i don't see how they arrest the slide, do you? >> right. i don't think they have a plan b. they never did. they deluged the economy with easy money, with stimulus plans that really didn't create the jobs. i mean, i'll give you an example of something that could be done right away that would help, you know, in an important way which would be to have some kind of corporate tax holiday to bring money overseas back to the united states. i mean, if you did that, that would start creating jobs right away in the united states. the president, in his budget,
12:08 pm
wanted to do sort of the opposite of charging these businesses more for the money they have stored overseas. i think, you know, the obvious one, the obvious answer to your question is to build the keystone pipeline. that is a truly, that is a true shovel-ready project the president won't allow the shovels to get ready for because he won't fund it. stuart: so are you still sticking to your guns so to speak -- [laughter] that the economy will rebound later this year, and we'll go back to maybe 2% growth? really? >> i am. i do, i think we're going to get from 2-3% growth, and 3% growth is going to feel better, and i'm going to say this for a couple reasons. i think the fall in energy prices is a net positive for the economy. we're seeing some of the ramifications of that in the jobs report institute. we saw -- stewart. saw better construction numbers manufacturing numbers. any industry that uses energy -- and that's 95% of our industry outside of the drilling industry -- really benefits. i think these low interest rates and the fact that the dollar is strong. i have an opinion on this that a strong collar is actually --
12:09 pm
strong dollar is actually good for america. i know most conventional economists believe just the opposite. those are three factors that i think point to a positive direction for the u.s. and if we get a president who wants to do these kinds of things we've talked about week after week on this program then i think we're talking about 4 or 5% growth. stuart: yeah. but i just can't wait for 2017. [laughter] i mean that's too far away for me. we're only in may of 2015. i don't want to wait for another 18 months before we get prosper prosperity coming back to america. >> you have to learn this, stuart, elections have consequences, you know? stuart: who said that? >> we had an election two and a half years ago, and i didn't like the outcome, but president obama's in office for another 16 months or so, and we're going to have to live with that. republicans need to be pushing harder on the growth issue. i think they need to bring these things to obama and make him veto it, make him veto this stuff like again like the keystone pipeline and reining in the epa and a corporate income
12:10 pm
tax change. stuart: how about showing some respect for the people who work? how about showing some respect for private enterprise which is the great engine of america? that wouldn't be such a bad idea now, would it? you've got ten seconds, by the way. [laughter] >> look, i've said this, i've said this constantly, when was the last time this president said anything good, stuart about private enterprise or business or corporations or employers? it's attitudinal. stuart: i agree with you. >> yep. stuart: private enterprise is the enemy. don't quote me. thanks very much, steve moore, we'll see you soon. back to today's top stories there are lots of 'em. lauren has 'em in case you missed it. >> so the avengers sequel crushes the box office for a second week, another $77 million in ticket sales for the disney marvel movie. that brings its ten-day tally to an impressive $313 million. disney shares down about 1% now. so "the new york times" has an iphone app, and that app is now free.
12:11 pm
it used to cost $8 a month, but the young subscribers the company was hoping to sign up for new york times now never did. shares of the company, we bring 'em up, are up more than 1.5%. and an olive guarden investor loves the -- garden investor loves the breadsticks so much, he wants to make sandwiches out of them. darden says it'd be a great idea and the company is listening. they are putting a breadstick sandwich on the menu june 1. shares of darden up half of 1% and sales of olive garden, they're turning around. they were up 3% the first few months of the year. stuart: my name ends in a vowel sound. is that good enough? >> for now, sure. [laughter] stuart: varney. something serious. here we go. violent tornadoes destroying entire neighborhoods in texas. what if i told you there are
12:12 pm
12:14 pm
12:15 pm
stuart: now we're going to show you the video of that skywest plane landing on just one wheel. there she goes. this is lax airport earlier this morning. the plane had trouble with landing gear forced to land on one wheel. almost down here it is. 43 people onboard. plane evacuated after it landed. no injuries, no fire onboard. it was a very short flight. it was coming down from monterey california down at lax. and look at that, it landed. one wheel, ladies and gentlemen. would you like to have been one of the 43 people -- >> i wouldn't want to know if there was one wheel.
12:16 pm
>> that is good piloting. you see the wings are remaining intact and you've got the plane clearly, there it is, scraping on the left side -- stuart: i see a few sparks. sparks on the left-hand side -- >> really solid landing for that pilot to pull it out like that. stuart: i would say. i wouldn't want to be onboard, but the 43 people who were are okay. good video. thanks so much, everyone. now this, the race for 2016 republicans finally embracing social media. they're kind of playing catch-up with the democrats maybe. elizabeth macdonald has the full story for us. >> yeah, that's right. facebook in 2008 was so big, now it's going to be about streaming video apps. this is sort of like the equivalent, the video streaming equivalent of going to a parade and pressing the cyber flesh right now. and it's a way for the republicans to get their message out circumventing the filter of news media, stuart. stuart so they're going to stream live events of republicans either speaking or pressing the flesh, put it on
12:17 pm
social media. do you think young people will watch it? >> yeah. this' a way to get -- that's a way to get the message to untapped young voters. you know carly fiorina just announced on facebook and twitter, and she used an app called periscope. we have rand paul at south by southwest, this is a major music event in austin, texas. that was a huge hit. and now we've got jeb bush talking about doing the same thing, getting the message out directly to voters. stuart: that's the second time we've mentioned periscope live streaming on this program. first it was golf events, now it's political events. >> yeah, that's right. stuart: that's how you reach young ones. >> the voters you want to tap. stuart: at least two dozen people hurt, several people hurt in van, a town in texas 70 miles southeast of dallas. a tornado touched down there yesterday and two are confirmed dead. look who's here, kurt the cyber guy, who has apps that tell you that a tornado is coming. is that right? >> amazing apps hereñ
12:18 pm
these are the kind of apps that'll save your life and most of them are free, and the highest price is about $5 for these, and what's your life worth r worth right? the american red cross put one out, simply called tornado. it educates you on how to -- stuart: what is it? what am i seeing? >> you're looking at an app called tornado, and what it does from the american red cross is it helps you prepare for a tornado and also tells you what would happen right after and how to deal with what happens right after. stuart: i don't want that kurt. i want an app that says, hey there's a tornado about 20 miles away and it's coming right at you. is there an app like that? >> tornado warnings. >> that is what you want,. [laughter] that is what you want, and that is a significant and substantial way of getting people aware of it. other great apps that are out there -- stuart: red cross? >> that's the red cross. it's totally free it's called tornado. it's downloadable, every platform's got it.
12:19 pm
stuart: if i've got that on my mobile phone i can put it on this thing -- >> you can. stuart: so as i'm driving around wherever, it works? >> it works. there's some criticism about it not being so accurate in terms of giving you some false alarms if you're, say, on the other side of town where no weather's happening at all. there are other apps, though, that have patents on the way they track, and there's one that's right here that's -- i mean, they're just brilliant. stuart: okay. best app? what's the best app? if you were out there in tornado land, which app -- >> i want my radar or one called storm by weather underground. stuart: radar. >> my radar right here. this is showing me what's happening in the past present and in the future in the weather. it also allows me to layer in what's going on in terms of, oh i can look at lightning, i can look at -- see, here's lightning that's just been reported 100 miles -- i'm sorry, we have it set for 100 miles. it'll give you down to the
12:20 pm
pinpoint of exactly where you are what's going on with the weather, whether you've set it for a tornado warning or whether you have just have it happen to have it on. and this, by the way this has also these photos in it. i don't know when these happened, but you can click on them. you can see here's a tornado right here. these are from brandon colorado. this was yesterday. and these are uploaded by anybody, and they're curated -- stuart: even i? >> even you. even with a rotary phone -- stuart: i've got an apple. >> it's myradar app and what else? >> storm is a -- >> storm by weather underground. those are my favorites. stuart: are they free? >> one is, one is not, and one is populated with ads until you pay 'em $5. stuart: tells the story. >> there you go. stuart: i live in new jersey. do i need one? >> why not?

you'd want to know about flooding lightning and this will be on target. and so will one called weather radio. it'll be on target to nailing exactly what's going on in your neighborhood. >> works in the car? you can use it in the car when you're driving around? >> the location tracker's brilliant. you can set your kids' school to it and know exactly what's happening at the school. you zoom in, you see exactly where every lightning strike is happening in america right now. stuart: okay, all right. you've convinced me. >> all right. stuart: it's good stuff. i'm just a little skeptical that i will ever actually do that you know what i mean? uber worth $50 billion. that would be as much as caterpillar, target stores even kraft foods, $50 billion? ah, you can bet the lawyers have that company in their crosshairs. and up next, yeah, the attack on the sharing economy. here it comes. ♪ ♪

>> homeland security secretary jay johnson says that loan wolf terrorists could strike at any moment, and we have entered a new phase where they're now inspired by social media. it's good to have you with us again, colonel always good to see you on the set. >> thank you . >> i maintain -- there's not much you can do about this. you can't really defend yourself adequately against a loan wolf attack. agreed? >> no. i have to disagree with you stewart, i think that one of the most important things is you have to have leadership that is focused on where these attacks are emanating from.
12:33 pm
and when you think about how in new york city you have the counsel, the surveillance program that was there and you've seen some of the results from that, you had the one loan wolf who attacked two new york police officers with the hatchet. we have to start doing the trend analysis, and we have to start going into the social media and figuring out what they're doing. and if we could -- if we could in world war ii break the enigma, we could surely break any code these guys are coming up with. >> what you're talking about is intelligence, you're talking about surveillance, looking at the masks and what is being preached, you're looking at social media and following up on trends there. but surely there are loan wolfs who just shoot up a shopping mall, for example. i'm not grooving a map of how to do this. >> yeah. >> but there's no defense against that. once they've slipped through the surveillance, you've got a problem here. >> well, one of the most important things we have to trust the american people to be more alert. to be more aware.
12:34 pm
that's why when we hear people talking about gun control that's one of the least things we should be talking about. where i'm sitting here right now in downtown dallas is about 30 minutes away from what happened in texas. and it's also about two and a half hours away from what happened in 2009 at fort hood. and the fact that even on the military invasion, we did not have armed soldiers that were able to defend themselves, there was civilian contract the police that took care of it and so we have to understand really, the twenty-first century battlefield is not over in iraq, it is right here, and we have to have very courageous leadership that talks about how we solve this problem and stop being contrained because of political correctness. >> but we don't have that at the moment, you're saying we don't have that leadership at the moment. so what would you do right now
12:35 pm
to take care of this problem? >> well, that's the problem in and of itself because when you look at this administration, you know, isis is definitely not a jv team, we continue to allow this enemy to be able to freely roam and do what they want within this country and because any time you try to bring pressure -- this look at the university of maryland where the students are saying they did not want to have the movie american sniper shown and the administering of that school said okay. so we have to start cowering to demands and we have to start making the american muslim community saying we want to coe exist with. to the live side by side but you have to help us out here and stop allowing these to live amongst us, and you need to be open with telling us about the social media activity you know of. >> we hear you. always a pleasure. thanks for being with us. come again soon. >> yes, sir. >> breaking news. the first confirmed case of bird flu has been found in

12:37 pm
>> well, i don't like what google is doing, but the privacy issue is out of the bag 30 years ago stewart. so yes i still like google stock because big data is what google is all about. there are going to be things that are on the back page that are going to come to the front page in years. . >> but -- you believe that google should break up, don't you? and it will be worth more in its separate parts than it is as a whole. >> yes. thank you for remembering that. i do i think they've got big data business, computer intelligence business, i think they have a lot of other businesses inside the hive that is being constrained which at $500 a share is hard to manual . >> would you buy it at 545884 where it is now on the expectation that it will be split up and worth more. would you buy it now? >> i've recommended that. i think it's going to be very hard to go wrong with that stock, it's going to go up and down, and over time it's going to be one of those stocks that truly changes the face of the
