11:01 am
>> well look at it now down well over 100 points and then down 20 points now we're down 49 points. with whiplash there. now look at interest rates. that is the key barometer, yield 2.26% now. couple of hours ago it was 2.34% that is a huge spike and then decline. scott was in chicago and he's going to tell us what is going on. scott couple of weeks ago that tenure treasury yielded 10.7% but now 2.26 why the spike? >> back to good friday that bad number on that day. market, cash markets were closed but future market tanked but by the time we came in on monday and closed monday afternoon everything was much higher than it was say on thursday before good friday, and i don't think that bodes well for the market but upset feds an now fed is now sitting there thinking, they've got a job to do against the
11:02 am
bonged market. bond market is biggs bond market out there so we have to fight against the bond market and ting they're winning. they're ones bond market is pushing where it is. nothing but rhetoric from jenny. >> i couldn't understand is the spike of interest rates as a result of inflation outlook oring expectation of a more robust american economy? >> neither. we don't have inflation, we don't have a robust economy. we have a situation where the bond market is trying to take over but they think the feds should be doing. pushing around interest rates thinking that the feds should is raise but the feds not raising. so it is the bond market doing work that they think the feds should be doing for them. >> okay, now i understand. we'll talk about your diet in the next hour. thanks so much scott shelly. >> all right. to most people. >> a sharp rise in interest rates felt in the wallet in particular mortgage rates. right now the average on a 30
11:03 am
year fixed rate is 3.89%. cheryl covers real estate for us. you tell me where are mortgage rates headed from here? >> begin to get pushed up we saw mortgage rates start to go up and seeing once again. we were a little bit higher last. but i have to stay looks like we're going to be on up tick. >> both above 4%. >> 40-year fix seeing jumbo loan above 4% already for a 30-year fix. jumbo loan you can imagine that for smaller size loan not far behind it seeing a rise in all of this absolutely. >> wrong timing because tough to get a loan in the first place and to afford monthly payments as well. >> interesting because you're talking about traders in the bond market but turning americans to maybe jump in every finance. i think what you're going to see when we look back at 2015 for interest rates for mortgages that march was the low for mortgage rates for 2015. i think that ship has sailed still it is a good time to
11:04 am
refinance to be high for from here. >> call your broker. >> all right. [laughter] right. stay there for a second i have a big deal to tell you about verizon is buying aol do you remember them paying $50 a share. look aol is no longer dialup service of your father's day and content provider. huffing ton post hipster tech crunch that is what verizon's buying, content and advertising opportunities and paying big bucks for it. here's the headline of the morning with one of them. the nfl suspends patriots quarterback tom brady four games fines patriots a million bucks and they lose draft regular appeal. here's the debate is the penalty too harsh or too soft? pete from fox sports won't be allowed to hedge on this one. >> we have the decision is it too harsh i think it is pretty what are had issue around the league texting people this morning and last night everyone is a little surprised not so much about the four game for brady but million dollar fine in
11:05 am
taking away what bill belichick use as gold. >> wait a minute you're saying it is legitimate? to tack brady out for four games? he's only did what all other quarterbacks -- is choose the ball and the inflation level that they like. >> if patriots had come at this back in january with some sort of regret or some sort of hey we're going to do it and work with you guys but took the exact opposite and didn't stand for that. he didn't give up his text message an e-mail and robert kraft who he has a great rope with rouge are for goodell said nfl is going to end up apologizing us to. we expect an apology well they spent all of this money on wells investigation came back that they were incriminated here they were caught red handed and then patriots -- >> you're wrong. >>it was more probably than not. preponderance of evidence. >> circumstantial is what the agent -- there was in the definite but nfl said look we gave our stop
11:06 am
up when robert mueller investigated us with the ray rice videos. patriots were not that way. when they asked is for equipment manager to come in for a fifth time they said no you've had hill four times that is enough. that was the tipping point that was enough we have to throw the book at you. : are you a jets fan? seriously i detect a great deal of hostility to patriots. >> for me purgely or the way thanksgivings -- >> they hate the patriots and -- >> wasn't due to the silent. look where this was, ands in the press release got an decision troy vincent said you look back at 2007 with spy gate they didn't deal this as a one time action discipline on that but over a 8-year period by repeated offenses byes patriots. >> surprised you're so popular on this show. : so am i. >> but you're an honest man. we appreciate that.
11:07 am
now this charlie has learnedded that chris christie has been talking to facebook's chief mark zuckerberg in an effort to secure zuckerberg's support financial support as the governor plans to run for president. here with details. >> yet another sign and also what i picked up in vegas besides dice. i picked up a little info on christie from republican fund raisers this is another that he's borrows something unyou recall and running for president yet an op-ed. >> zuckerberg on the left big supporter -- >> they are -- facebook friends. they share commonality on school choice and other issues according to christie's people and from what we understand with fox business network is christie is indeed cozying up i would use other people using another word to cozying up to zuckerberg for some -- >> to christie? >> no christie --
11:08 am
making the overture. >> from zuckerberg to christie. you know that. >> don't know yet but trying to get it and trying to secure financial support. we should point out there's for this gave money to his gubernatorial campaign back a couple of years ago or ran for governor or might have been just after. but he gave money to christie in the past. so there is some here. i will say yet another sign we broke on the story on your show couple of weeks ago that christie's wife mary pat christie quit her job at a hedge fund and yet another example and one more point big op-ed from christie. >> you think that chris christie is the most reagan in economic policy. >> you read my e-mail but taking it out of somewhat context. what i'm saying is this, if you look at all of the guys, all of the republican contenders some of them have laid out, you
11:09 am
know -- sort of bits and pieces of their economic agenda chris christie is first to lay out coherently his economic agenda in reagan terms. awaiting for that from jeb bush and everybody else. we don't know. >> all right we'll take that john. give credit where credit is due please. >> great. i agree. [laughter] >> thank you indeed. let's check that big board like i say you can get whiplash following this market down over 100 points down a near 28. look at mcdonald's please trailing down the drive-thru menu say that is a pretty good move because i want fast food. to go to a fast food joint i want fast food. >> drive-thru at mcdonald's you're not getting fast food but a big old line and not getting food so franchise are complaining new ceo said enough especially with the drive-thru. and also they can their kitchens are overloaded so they have to simplify menu to cut down the
11:10 am
drive-thru onses for drivers and they're also because the franchises are saying give us medium size menu options something for a buck 50, 2 dollars they have a hyphened you know $6 sandwich or dollar menu saying you have to give us something in the middle. that is their whole plan. not -- health food there. >>ty get for 53 cents a seniors black coffee to go 53 cents the bargain of the year. >> so cheap. >> through the drive-thru. >> restaurant to use the bathroom. [laughter] >> you are so cheap. >> that's correct. >> ones in your life you're right. obamacare. new rules that demand insures provide free birth control. free, everybody. what if you have a moral
11:11 am
11:12 am
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. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do
11:13 am
11:14 am
>> still down? not by much down over 100 now we're down 40. that is the comeback. sill got a ways to go before we turn positive. price of ole 60 bucks a barrel as we speak. time is money. three more headlines for you. here we go happening this hour. secretary of state john kerry meets russia's vladimir putin on the table negotiations with china. russia ukraine invasion and letting iran get a nuke. and to speak publicly we'll tell you what they say. ultra socialist himself. new york mayor bill de blasio meeting with -- senator elizabeth warren today in d.c.. they'll unveil their own contract with america. also the obama administration gives shell approval to drill
11:15 am
offshore alaska. but don't cross the finish line needs permits to actually start drilling for oil. now this the department of health and human services says, insures must pay for the cost of birth control. so does this undermine the supreme court hobby lobby decision that declared corporations with a religious owners cannot be forced to pay for coverage of birth control. look who is here judge andrew napolitano is here. i have to sort this out a little bit. the supreme court said with a hobby lobby case they cannot be forced to offer all kinds of birth control to their employees through their insurer. >> closely held corporation and partnerships. which limits the -- the universe of those that cannot be forced. : some people cannot be forced. >> correct. >> along come health and human services that says yesterday under obamacare all insurance must offer all forms of burt
11:16 am
control to everybody. >> that is not quite what happened. the statute itself identified 18 medically accepted procedures or means for burt birth control scene says must offer one of these means for free to anyone who wants them male or female. the overwhelming majority of these have been selected by females. what hhs revealed yesterday is that some insurers were not all offering these for free but a copay and some insures were not offering them at all. so hss in its view is enforcing the statute. now you make a very prudent observation. how can they be with some employers when some employers are exempt from this requirements? those employers will have to challenge this in a federal court and they could win those challenges because the language
11:17 am
in the hobby lobby decision is very clearly intended to protects them. >> why is it that health an human services urged obamacare keeping chips away at our religious and moral -- >> because in my view they're the same mindset at two characters meeting in washington, d.c. today about what you spoke a few moments ago. mayor de blasio and senator warren. they really don't care about basic american values. they care about the progressive ideology of government which is the bigger the government the better. and the more the government feltings how to live the more it will be equal. bring down rich to uplift the poor and somehow think history is the contrary notwithstanding that that will work. >> why is it that birth control has to be free? why? i don't know -- i don't get that. >> asking the wrong person. you want to -- >> to vote? >> >> try to get into their
11:18 am
mindset as we know nothing is for free. someone is paying for it. the shareholders of the carrier paying for it customer who is do pay premiums are paying for it in higher premiums. i think that government want it is to make available the type of sexual freedom that comes from free birth control to get to reelect that government. >> it is giving something away. i mean, government gives away things all of the time bailouts to the rich. welfare to the poor. tax breaks to the middle class to keep us voting for it. >> developing societies have seen birthrate fall to the point where they're no longer replacement level fertility. >> dangerously -- put aside -- >> talk economics. economics we're not talking about morality. been low for economic security because there's not enough people coming into the work force to compensate for those who are leaving it the other ends. >> look at japan. japan has the most extreme
11:19 am
demographic of any society in recorded human history. more old people fewer babies. what is that -- >> what is that economy going to look like in 25 years? >> what it looks line now a 20-year recession with zero inflation and losing population -- >> here's a suggestion for you next to where cheryl is sitting get mayor de blasio and two of us go after them. >> why do i have to sit next to mayor de blasio? >> such a figure of stability. >> really? not with him in the room. [laughter] >> do question of 20 seconds left? you're wrong on brady. >> theory was correct and correct with roger goodell strikes at the integrity of the game and he must be punished for it. >> you can't call the familiar by a what tom did. >> what brady did strikes up integrity of the game that is not a court of law and not proven beyond a reasonable
11:20 am
doubt. [inaudible] >> wrap me because i go over or wrap me because they disagree with what i'm saying? >> no we have a hard break coming up that is it. [laughter] >> love you. >> the young man not bad at all. >> moving on. up next more reports that say yes the obama administration was not telling truth over the bin laden raid. one pakistanis knew, two, one year before that raid someone told the cia where bin laden was hiding. full details coming up next.

11:24 am
>> another earthquake 7.3 it has struck in nepal after devastating quake that killed 8,000 people we've got new video from a canadian red cross worker. look at it that is a massive rockslide near the base of mount everest triggered by today's quake. you can see the entire side of the mountain collapse. hold that video for a moment buzz that stuff really came down. now this, this is inside nepal parliament the quake struck. cleared out building as shaking began. you can see this going on that is what it is like in the middle of a nasty earthquake. rescue crews searching the damaged buildings for survivors. dozens have been killed in this
11:25 am
quake. 1,000 injured but those numbers are expected to keep on going up. hirsch lenger, coverup in the hunt for bin laden. ashley webster is here. give me the full story please. >> let's run throughiest of what hirsch is saying close to white house tonight but let's get to the core of what he's say is that pakistan has been harboring osama and only time that u.s. found out about this when the pakistani military officer walked in and gave up game said you know what, we have him in the compound paid for by saudi arabia. the u.s. he claims then the u.s. went to pakistan the military official said we're going to give you two choices help us kill bin laden or cut off billions of aid in this country. you have a choice that was a year before the actual raid took
11:26 am
place. he claims they were going to take out bin laden and say about a week later that he was killed in a drone strike in the mountains. but what went wrong if you remember is that the helicopter crashed during the raid forcing the hand into coming up with another story. >> now, he could be attacked -- no. what is -- anonymous sources? >> that is what i find interesting is the idea that it was not the search for korea that took years and years. >> but 30 and the film. >> it was some a walk-in and pakistani military officer says i know where he is. who claimed 25 million dollar reward and hirsch claims moved by the cia back to the united states and has his identity protected. >> is a fascinating story. >> undermines what president obama said was the full story. >> that is true. and of course white house said this report is riddled with inaccuracy and enforcements
11:27 am
quote unquote. very big. thanks. radical islamic terror, lone wolf attacks inside america. according to the former head of the cia it won't end any time soon your grandchildren will be facing the threat. we'll deal with that next. >> i believe deeply that the threat that we face terrorist is significant and it is beginning to remain significant for a long time.
11:31 am
>> right now we're down an even 50 points we were down over 100. a little bit of whiplash on the market this morning. here's another cash of whiplash that is the bond market and interest rates. now yielding 2.26% on the tenure treasury and believe me that is a huge spike and then spike down decline. big deal. michael morell former cia deputy director on special report last night. he said another terror attack on america is iminnocent and we will be fighting radical islam for generations. >> i believe deeply that the threat that we face terrorists is significant and it is beginning to r for a long too many. time. i believe that my children's generation fighting this fight and i believe my grandchildren's
11:32 am
generation is going to be fighting it we're at risk of another attack here and i want americans to know that. >> now, special report host bret baier joins varney & company this morning. seemed to me watching that interview in its entirety that he is saying that terror is here, it is made a comeback on president obama's watch. that is the gist of what i got out of it. you? >> yeah that is definitely true. and he claims that the cia all along was saying to the obama administration that the al qaeda ideology was spreading all across middle east and north africa as administration publicly and president publicly was saying al qaeda is on run it is decimated we're essentially winning war on terrorism. he said he doesn't know why those messages change change ed and didn't want to get into minds of policymakers that said
11:33 am
that tracks with what we heard from the former dia chief general michael flynn who said they were throwing up rid flares all throughout the last two years. >> now he was deputy director in the late bush years, and into the early obama years so he saw transition from one administration to another. how does he explain or did he explain president obama's apparent unwillingness to meet the challenge and to define challenge and admit to it? >> he didn't. he wouldn't go down that road he said i was asking the wrong person when it came to politics in this town. he said he just deals with analysis, you know out at langley. you know it is important to point out he was acting cia director after general petraeus, stepped down. i think you're going to see more and more of these intelligence officials speaking out because they want to clear up the record, stuart. i think they want to show that the intelligence community was
11:34 am
doing its job, and that perhaps the administration was not egg that it or using it in their words effectively. >> the several very senior defense department official who is come out publiclying with their disagreements with the obama administration to their term at defense do you think it is likely that we'll see a similar outpouring from intelligence officials because that would be yet another bombshell for the presidency? >> listen you've already seen bob gates book that was very critical you've seen leon panetta that was even more critical. you've seen now mike morell, you've seen talking out on sunday talk shows including fox news sunday and hour show general michael flynn or former dia head. you've seen a lot already. and i think you're going to see more. that paint this picture of ad mirrors that has a view and president that has a view and perhaps they're not taking cues
11:35 am
from intelligence officials on a host of issues. >> it was very much a political view gears towards the 2012 election. bin laden is dead, general motors is alive. and then that was followed up with isis is the jv team unwillingness to accept the magnitude of the threat. that is my bottom line. yours? >> yeah, well i think that is a fair assessment and people make that assessment they point to a number of things that back that up. and moore can say this factors into benghazi as welling when you have the white house telling susan rice to go out there and say something about an anti-islam video that was never in the cia's talking points about -- about the situation on the ground. and said when they came out and said that their talking points from ben roads not to get into the weeds here were not about benghazi, he says, you know
11:36 am
they were essentially lying. he said this is strong word but they were misleading reporters. >> we will be watching special report again tonight all of us here an all of our viewers guaranteed to tune in. bret baier you're on. thank you sir, see you later. >> now this. current rate on a 30-year fixed rate home loan is 3.89%. fox news contradict tore bob massi joins us live. we've been talking about this spike in interest rates a world wide phenomenon we assume that will carry through to mortgage rates 3.89% right now. where do you see it going? >> well i think based on i was watching this show this morning i think obviously, as it goes up it could affect how people buy. but i have to tell you there's a different penaltity right now. a lot of people who lost their homes and rebuilt their credit and they've been renting homes, i will tell you that if their house payment will fit into a
11:37 am
budget that they now have, because they're tired of remember thing so they don't own i'm not necessarily con have i saided that most americans caring interest rates but being able to own again and meeting payment that they can make and as you know, fannie and freddie have loosened restraints although lenders are holding on. not sure it is as big of an impact but ultimately american family wants to own a home. >> okay. in las vegas, and i do want to ask you about project jack to the. and i know there's a big new building front seat that is on the strip. i think this is vegas's attempt to make a big time come back am i right? >> when you listen to mr. wynn who is greatest in casino business and says notion of a complete recovery is not true. it concerns me. i think that entire -- vegas is so different stuart, because there's this huge synergy here that the casino industry really has always been
11:38 am
the strength behind vegas now gaming changing and gamings down. revenues are down, where mr. wynn makes that kind of statement it concerns me. now some people, you know, have different visions. but the idea of where revenue is coming in the casino world versus what it used to be were gambling was majority in restaurant and club and booze and food was different that is reversing. so this -- i know exactly where this property is on the strip. it is a phenomenal piece of property and investors go in to buy it , i suspect people will buy it but i'm not con vis ised on what we see with revenues. i'm concerned that they have this vision but is it really going to last and be in the best interest of vegas? i'm concerned about it. >> i'll take your point because gaming opportunities -- usually just vegas and atlantic city now it is everywhere. that is a problem if you're looking for just gaming revenue.
11:39 am
bob massy thanks for joining us you're not a straiker recently we like that. thanks so much indeed. >> i enjoy being with you and i love your show buddy. >> you're back on tomorrow thanks very much. >> so easy to please. [laughter] >> i am. >> the mother's milk of television. reaction still pouring in on the brady suspension. now harry reid is criticizing the decision. come on in. what is beginning on? >> senator reid is talking about football correct -- and here's what he said quote i find it stunning that the nfl is more concerned about how much air is in a ball than with the racist franchise name that the washington redskins. he believes he wants them to change their name he said that redskins that is a racist term that team should change the name. used brady opportunity to take
11:40 am
own opportunity to move through with what he wants to see happen. more concerned about lying with protection of the senate floor about were political opponent which is exactly what harry reid did but that is another story. >> but this one just like everyone is talking tom brady today including senator harry reid. couldn't resist. >> football team. >> thanks so much. >> you bet. >> literals love to attack fox news they do. and one left this website that is using it for financial gain. we will explain it all in a moment.
11:42 am
>> i'm nicole with your fox business brief. right now the dow jones industrial average down 42 points. sitting at 18,062 a loss of one quarter of one percent. s&p down one-third of one percent down 7 points and nasdaq down half of one percent no loss of 21 points dow loses such as intel. also under the some pressure. goldman sachs also down to the downside. energi is one spot and up seven you can see names doing well.
11:43 am
11:45 am
>> this picasso painting women set a world word auction at $17 the million that includes commissioner just over 10%. that is better than real estate commission. >> must be in the real estate. so 179 million sale 12% get about $21 million and by the way, entire lot they sold in this one auction that is 706 million, in total sales. why is art so hot? because the über wealthy believe that it is a better dividend payer than stocker because of the value of art especially fine art because at last they would rather spend money millions of dollars in to this into a piece of art to picasso than going by heck, a piece of real estate or stock if you will amazing investigationments they make and cheap them. >> you can put it on the wall of the $50 million condominium say
11:46 am
look at this folks. >> by the way there's a little bit of an interest rate we're talking about interest rates earlier. as long as interest rates stay attractive luxury art remains an attractive investment for many of the wealthier people in this country and more so around the world. >> all right. now this. sowell.com using fox news at click bait here's the story essentially make up a controversial headline and mention fox in it. when you click on the article there's not a word about fox. howard joins us this morning. howard can you give me an example of how this works? >> sure. you know, if i read everything. so i'm looking at it and by the way no problem with anybody attacking fox news free marketplace all of that. but again and again you will see a headline like fox news, no nothings or how to deal with fox news and there will be a
11:47 am
picture of riley or reagan or so i click on it and see what is there. i scroll down, up, i go back and search and no mention of fox news sometimes throw away line stuart. >> by clicking on to sell on.com, you given them an eyeball click out of which they make money. so it seems to me that liberals are using fox news as a way to enhance revenue for liberal websites. >> that is truly shocking now look we all play this game to some degree. i write provocative headlines you want people to click search but if you're going to take on fox or obama or republican politicians, or conservatives who are clearly does not like, then where's the beef and deliver the goods. click on it and see what the argument is but on many headlines it is not there. using people a way of luring them in as you say quick pay. >> they need us. flattering in a way i guess.
11:48 am
>> i guess you could say that. [laughter] what about this one? a bloomberg mark, now being forced to apologize to presidential candidate ted cruz after he questioned him on authenticity of the oaky ban heritage and his cultural asked him to speak in spanish asked him about cuban food. what do you make of this? >> this made one me cringe a smart guy who went loco on the interview on bloomberg tv and damage across as smug and airlinely insensitive almost as if senator had to prove that he was a real hispanic. >> it is -- strange. trying to say you're hispanic american now american, you've got -- you are with an ethnic heritage and he wanted to point that out maybe to separate cruz from the other candidates. and i know, but it seemed like that is what he was trying to
11:49 am
do. worst part for me was where he asked senator cruz to say something in spanish he had to know -- cruz makes no secret about it but he's an american. his father grew up in cuba. and so, you know, has apologized wisely after getting beatup. he said his tone was inappropriate and he shouldn't have done it. but it nearly was insulting to hispanics just to a lot of viewers once this became widely known because of the way of which it was -- trying to embarrass him i thought it came across as condescending. >> given apology and interview is this a plus or solid? >> you know where it is a plus he handled it really well and didn't lose his cool and gave cuban dishes that he like and accepted apology rather than wine how media treating him. i thought that was good on the senator's part. >> got you always a pleasure thanks so much for being with us today harry we appreciate it. >> thank you stuart.
11:50 am
11:54 am
we were at 2.34% on the tenure treasury yield. now we're 2.26%. that is a turnaround. big story on markets today the turnaround look at this. robots wow, they could be putting some doctors out of business. there's a new medical device that is called setsi anesthesiology machine that may be automobile to replace anesthesiologists in the operating room how about that dock stegall who happens to be right here. >> serious or you mean you don't get a human being putting you to
11:55 am
sleep is it a machine? >> this is going to happen now because the american college of anesthesiologist is no longer blocking it because they've decided it is beginning to happen no matter what they do. and right now it is targeting very basic things where thefacient is healthy. like a colonoscopy but 14 million done a year and could be big, being business. i tell you i look at it like cruise control on a car. in other words you want to set your car for a set speed. but driver better be there all of the too many because i'm worried about one of these robots going haywire. >> running video there of a human anesthesiologist how does a machine put you out? >> machine will regulate how awake you are and how much sedation you need to be put to sleep. >> machine puts you to sleep. >> computer. it does it by -- rating and figuring out how awake and asleep you are. to a certain point it is given
11:56 am
enough medicine. >> yes, of course there's a catch -- but anesthesiologist is in the background i think monitoring this. >> there's a needle administering it that knocks me out. >> and computer monitors this. >> but a downside. top story in "the wall street journal" today when should you use advil and tylenol in answer the question. >> advil is used if you have an inflammation like in your knee is swollen or back or inflammation in your body you need advil. problem with advil is if you take it every day it is a problem for your liver and kidneys so people say alternate with tylenol. problem with tylenol is you can use it for a headache. you can use it for pain, you can use it for fever but it does not decrease that inflammation. so some tissue is swollen, the tylenol won't help you. >> i had a kidney stone but i had to make a speech i was in agony. i took a half bottle of --

12:01 pm
financial show that actually keeps you interested. hour two starts now. ♪ . david: i keep using this word, whip lash, but it's accurate, we were way down and now we're only a little bit down. same story on interest rates we were way up at 234 on the ten-year yield now we're down to 224. you don't see that kind of thing happen often. now, on interest rates, a 30-year rate is that. 3.9% here's what bob said last hour about what americans really want from the housing market. >> i'm not necessarily convinced that most americans care about interest rates they care about being able to loan again and meeting the payment that they can make, and some of the straightens which bothers me a little bit so i'm not sure it's as big of
12:02 pm
an impact -- david: that's interesting. mortgage rates are going to go up, bob doesn't think it matters at this point. look at oil it's up today and do you remember aol? no longer a dial up company certainly want, verizon is paying 4 billion for them, $50 a share aol a big winner this morning. and in the nation's capital today, meeting with massachusetts senator elizabeth warren, they are unveiling their new contract with america. blake berman is in dc, all right, blake, what is mayor saying in this contract for america? >> well, as you will recall, stewart, bill declined to endorse hilary clinton now he is stepping out onto the national stage in a speech here in washington d.c., later today he will unveil, and i'm quoting here, the provision agenda for combat quality in
12:03 pm
america, and in a speech this morning here in dc, one of the profound lessons of the 1930s was that the government needs to step up and address income inequality. in that speech today he also talked about in order for people to believe in themselves and in their families once again, you need to reward work. listen here. >> we need an economy that rewards work and not just wealth. that is one of the simplest ways of saying this, we need to get back to the notion that we have to reward work. >> all right., stewart, as far as that agenda goes, that will be unveiled later this afternoon, here are some of the key points this was given to me did i a democratic aid who is in the know here. he will talk about universal prekindergarten, tax reform, increasing the tax interest and waking the minimum wage all the way up to $15. that speech here in dc, which
12:04 pm
will also involve howard dean is later this afternoon during the 3:00 hour, stewart . david: that sounds like a manifesto, if i ever heard one. thank you very much, blake. now, senior wall street executives have a good morning hillary clinton. stop bashing the banks. lay off wall street or risk losing the election, just like former british leader lost the election last week. joining us now fox news political editor. what we've been describing for the past couple of minutes is a big push by the left to have their agenda very much front and something in the 2016 election. now, how successful do you think they're going to be? >> well, i think they're going to be very successful.
12:05 pm
she's made an alliance with elizabeth warren, bill is a long time ally of hers in new york, i. "s&p what we will hear from hilary clinton is what this all is a dance in which hilary clinton she's already been through these issues on same-sex marriage, emigration, illegal immigration, income inequality call it, just tease it up now for her to do it, but i don't think the banks have to be worried long term because she'll go right back to what they're selling for the election . david: chris, i want your judgment in britain last week, his stance was tax the rich and spend more on entitlements and other government spending. he lost very very big. what about the here in
12:06 pm
america? if the democrats adopt a similar agenda as we were just pointing out, do you think that would also be defeated in the same way that ed was defeated in britain. >> well, i certainly think that if they packaged it the same way, it would meet with the same result. now, the other thing of course that was significant, and i dare not pass myself off as an expert in -- on your television broadcast, but i would say this. that david cameron's decision to aggressively court voters who might have fallen under the sway, that for him to go out and say i am interested in middle class wages, i am interested in addressing the economic consequences of mass immigration, i am interested in talking about our relationship to the continent middle class voters was the key for cameron, and it will be the key for republicans. can they talk to those voters in a way that makes them feel like they're engaged .
12:07 pm
david: especially when battling the media, that will be an uphill road to on him. >> you've got it . david: have a great day. >> thank you . david: more news from verizon the fcc announcing a 158-million-dollar fine on verizon and sprint for cramming customers. that's loading up their cell phone bills with behind charges. these are charges that appear on your bill as service fee. service charge and other fees. 158-million-dollar fine. how about that? now, remember we told you yesterday that alibaba now we call it the chinese amazon is buying a piece of zulily, now, meet the can. that wants to become the next amazon, a truly global organization. the author of, you know, know alibaba world and he joins us right now. >> thanks for having me, stewart . david: now they want to be a truthful global company. a lot of our viewers like to invest in the up and coming global companies. they want to be into the next google or the next microsoft.
12:08 pm
>> right. david: do you think that alibaba can do it? >> well, that's why i joined the can. in -- david: yes. you're a former employee. >> yeah. i joined the company in 2000 because they had this dream, you know, the company was started by a school teacher with no business experience, he wanted to build a global company from china and actually from day one theas been global. a lot of people don't know it, but there are a lot of buyers and sellers in the u.s. who do import and export already whether they can bring their consumer market to the u.s. -- david: well, you've got to make that judgment for us. because our viewers want to know should i buy alibaba, if i buy it now, can it go to 800? that's what they want to know. >> well, i've been an investor for about 15 years and i've only regretted selling not buying, but i worked in the company, and they had a vision to work in the company for 102 years . david: have they got the expertise. >> well, that's the amazing thing about this story i write in the book how this group of ordinary people with
12:09 pm
no business background built a great team, they did it. so certainly in china where they're running the worlds largest shopping mall, they did a great job . david: are they selling valid products that's not intellectual or knock-offs. >> well, you do have counterfeits on alibaba just like you do on ebay, what we need to do is fight the counterfeiters and put some law enforcement on there. the good thing is that people are moving their buying activity onto their cash cow so by pushing counterfeits off the website and getting those merchants off more and more will be buying from their cash cow . david: now, look, you know the company from inside out, we just quoted it at $86 a share. make me a forecast, please, because that's what our viewers buy. i'm going to push. >> pin me down . david: yeah, i'm going to pin you down, if i buy at $86 today, can i expect 150 in two
12:10 pm
years. >> buy and hold for the long term, and you can feel secure, i think find other stocks if you're going to day trade it. personally i'm very confident in their long term perspective david: alibaba's world the book. thanks for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you . david: back to today's other stories, there's lots of them. lauren has them all in case you missed them. >> it's a business day stewart, and secretary of state john stewart is in russia for the first time in two years he's meeting with putin, and in the icy waters of the arctic ocean the green light is seen as a big victory for oil and gas companies and lower oil prices. centrists very optimistic, they think this area holds whack 22 billion barrels of oil. and former cia director,

12:14 pm
12:15 pm
liz macdonald is here, fewer people identified as christian. >> yeah. david: it's a huge drop off. >> here's the headline which did a survey from 35,000 adults in america, it was nearly 78% identified as christian in 2007, now 70%. but when you read into the headlines and the research, which i did the headlines don't appear as dire instead what you're seeing is an influx of immigrants who in fact are christian. so there's five million fewer christians in the united states out of a base of that a million adults. so five million is not a lot . david: so it's a very modest trend toward a bigger population. would that be accurate. >> yeah. that would be accurate meaning agnostic,ate atheist or not christian so i want pew to do a deeper dive into the numbers to tell us whether or not millennials who
12:16 pm
are not appearing to be christian, you know, or don't go to services, whether they become boomers, in fact, return to their faith . david: just as long as america doesn't go the loser route of the european,. >> yeah. everybody worries about that, at least i do . david: yeah tom brady suspended for four games, he will fight that decision though. the patriots official twitter page changed the profile picture to brady's jersey, they are standing behind their quarterback. and he thinks that the four game suspension is right; correct? >> yeah. especially what i read in the followally follow-up behind the four game suspension, the million-dollar fine, and the managers suspended indefinitely. they took into account with
12:17 pm
what happened withify spie gate and said you guys are repeat offenders . david: the patriots had a pat enof what you call cheating. >> it happened two times and it happened prior to 2007 they believe, so it also went into 2015. and they don't tom brady was candid with them when they were talking with him, and they're still upset that he did not hand over the text messages and his e-mails . david: well, look, i don't want my private e-mails and messages seen by anybody. >> they said they would allow his agent to see it first and then just hand it over . david: being now, when you're being questioned in this kind of situation you're going to be very defensive because the slightest word might imply wrongdoing, and you need an army of lawyers behind you. >> but they don't feel he was being candid, in the high reigning position of the league they also go to o to say they don't believe the equipment managers were candid to them, and when the patriots
12:18 pm
wouldn't allow the managers to get a follow-up interview then they said they don't believe the candid was fourth right, and they have some videotape of some evidence of these guys going around the bend supposedly taking air out of these balls, and then coming back . david: i don't think tom brady and the patriots are going to be big losers, because the first game he plays in,. >> yeah. he's going to have four games off at 39 years old, that's not a bad thing. >> they were 2-2 last year, with or without tom brady they want to give their young quarterback a young, instead of being speed champions now they have something to prove . david: and the ratings on that sunday night game, the patriots versus the colts, i think it's october. >> right. david: october on a sunday night, the ratings will be huge. >> why is everything ratings.
12:19 pm
>> because that's what he knows works. >> but i'm just saying overall they're going to appeal this, they might get a game or two and i can't wait for brady to go behind the microphone and say whatever he's going to go . david: is he going to speak soon. >> no. he's going to give his side of the story publically . david: i don't think it's going to be much of a new story on friday morning. >> he could have given over his phone and the nfl said your lawyer can vet your smartphone e-mails and texts you can take out your personal private text messages and e-mails, he wouldn't do that. so the smoking gun does sit in his phone, and he won't give it up . david: like hilary clinton. >> yeah. and we have not spoken before this segment; right? >> no. we have not . david: and the record did show that you did not willingly call mr. brady pretty boy. >> yeah. that was the in the prompter. . david: i was watching your
12:20 pm
performance, and he said pretty boy, i couldn't believe it. >> everybody knows. this is a room full of men he's an attractive man, am i right, guys. >> yes. he is. >> but do you think he's a pretty boy? >> no. i think pretty is derogatory so i'm not going to say that, great quarterback, unbelievable story, married to a super model, when you part-time job as a print model, you know you're an attractive guy and full-time job a quarterback so i think he has a lot going for him, but he should have said candid yeah, i told the guys take a little air out of the balls, they did too much, game over, maybe a small fine, that's it . david: about 8 million dollars a year in endorsements. >> money does not buy you happiness . david: but i'm determined to give it a shot. [laughter] >> all right. david: you're all right.

12:26 pm
fields and see what's going on in our fields and we can't use it for our commercial purposes yet. >> the problem is the faa has not authorized you to do things like, spray pesticides or fertilizer you could do that with drones if you have permission. >> correct. there's one case of it being approved in california, they're going out there and applying some pesticides and things like that to help out their crops but legally we can't do that here yet. >> messages to washington? >> speed up the process so we could pesticides on our farm. >> and the reason we're sitting on the ground right now is it's a very windy day here and you try to take up in the air we already crashed it twice. >> yeah. there you go. the winds reek havoc with these, some of the systems hold the wind better than others but today we're pushing over 25 miles per hour gusts, and it's just more than we can do. >> i appreciate that. they're coming.
