only the air this morning. listen. >> i want to address some news you may see about me. over last several years i've made donations to dozens of charities including clinton foundation. that were a number of potential record but i should have made on air when we covered the foundation. i now believe that the directing personal foundation to that donation was a mistake. >> joinings us now author it have clinton inc. daniel. now let me get right to it. here's my opinion how can this man play any role in election coverage for abc running up to 2016? >> well it will be really hard. i mean he lost a lot of trust. but thing is we shouldn't be surprised that a former aid to bill clinton is giving money to bill clinton ride he had been in the clinton orbit for many year this should not comes a surprise that perhaps he might have a tilt of bias in favor of the clintons. >> tilt in bias in is a landslide for heavens sake. >> saying we shouldn't be surprised he's a little bit bias

turns out a lot more than that when he interviewed he should have acknowledged that a he was a clinton aid going after him for being a bush aid. clinton aid and helicopters to give money to the clinton foundation and a lot of it too. >> to me, it is a reflection on the entire establishment media which -- is downing the middle. it is not down the middle. the way they cover the stories and stories they cover shows a clear, bias to the left. amity too far out of line on this? >> not at all i agree flee. nbc for instance they didn't give money. they gave money to the clintons they paid chelsea clinton for years to be a special correspondent something she wasn't equipped to do or good at. look at cbs bob barnett, his wife works for cbs. they have the whole media is corrupt in this sense. they can't covert clinton's properly and that is a huge problem for mainstream media and we can't trust networks in any

of their clinton coverage. >> but you have missed something out here. reverend al sharpton is here bona fide newsman anchor at nbc he is but i don't think he should be. >> yeah look at chris matthews he used to work for jimmy carter. his defense he's not exactly covering jimmy carter anymore. not that much at least these people are ever cog people that they have connections to that they have connections with i think that is what is damaging about it. that is what is is corrupt about it. >> one last thing. sorry to keep interrupting you but does this damage hillary clinton? >> it doesn't damage hillary clinton, she'll be okay. it makes her actually look okay right even a mainstream person like george stephanopoulos seen by millionings every day adopting to her cause. but shows corruptness of it that shows there's tat george stephanopoulos on an evening show and he said thing to the

that's correct people give to the clinton foundation hoping to get something in return. stands to reason, what was george stephanopoulos hoping to get in return? since he knows very well that that is how it works ? >> i don't think he can play a role in abc coverage of the 2016 election but we shall see. daniel thank you for joining us appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. >> to the economy on whether we're in a recovery or not, you are not feeling in latest fox news poll 60% of you feel like the country is still in recession. mary is here from the wall street journal editorial board why do so many people 60% is a big number. where do we feel luke it is a recession? >> three big reasons stuart. first of all we're in a 2% economy so we're not creating a lot of jobs ab and people have dropped out of the work force because there aren't jobs for them. two wages are stagnant you're not el tooing very good about money in your pocket, and thirdly, the people who have

stocks. that is not every american. the middle class up class in america. >> poll is -- how we feel. not whether the economy is in recessioning. but i noticed today that that wall street journal has a panel of economists they think that economy contracted my .3% in the first quarter of the year. there's a forecast that it only grows .7% in the seconds. >> this has been the problem with the -- obama economy. right we get a little acceleration and then we fall back again. because businesses don't want to spend money or invest or take risks. >> not confident in the future. >> but we're also not letting them take those risks because washington is layered them with red tape and taxes of uncertainty. >> mary welcome back per the entire hour. >> just 15 minutes. >> this is it. >> very, very sorry there. >> appreciate the invitation,

but thank you. >> today we've got the dow now up 7 point. okay so we're beginning a little bit of a move. i think that is a record higher story will weather it is today or closing but not sure. 18259. now today first of the victims in amtrak derailment laid controversy regardless the left continues to use it to call for more funding for infrastructure. now the president is on action. listen to this. >> a growing country with a growing economy. we need to invest in the infrastructure that keeps us that way, and not just when something bad happens leak a bridge collapse or train derailment but all of the time. that is what great nations do. >> mary your thoughts on this. >> any money to spend taxpayer money. liberals love to do this health care, public school least efficient parts of our economy parts of the economy where they're spending our money and not liting private sector into it. i think it is disgraceful that

the president doesn't wait to find out exactly what happened in this crash, and take a real look at by the way, the 6 billion dollars that amtrak has what invested other the last decade that is between federal state spend and stimulus spending they love to spend money but they don't like to look at the consequences of that. >> not to mention, efficiency of government when you do give it the money to do a job. a.m. just not convinced that they do it well. >> exactly look at last year amtrak 1.1 billion in net loss when we have an example of a successful railway all onboard florida privately funded and serve routes that people want to use. why not -- this northeast corridor of amtrak prioritize it give us good service don't put the taxpayers behind it. >> silent mary glad you could stay. now follow-up on that story airfare between new york and

d.c. have gone up. i mean way up since train crash. lauren simonetti here with the details lauren. >> if you need to fly from new york to washington d.c. this weekend all i have to say is good luck. earlier this morning flights were available starting at 700 dollars topping out at 1300 bucks that for nonstop coach detective from laguardia to reagan national if you travel that route. you know that is at least triple the average price. but at this hour, almost none of those flights have available and cheeps i found was 856 round trip. okay some carriers aiming to cooperate travelers delta and america have added two flights. delta has increased the size of the plane that it has using but limited options to get to new york to d.c. after that fatal am track derailment. buses and trains are full. always little car but question we're asking right now, is this price gouging, or is this the free market at work? >> let's ask mary. >> it is a free market at work. supply and demand a lot of

demand. limited supply, the price goes up. >> what do you think of delta using planing and adding routes and unitessed not doing either? >> i don't know. i'm not sitting in united office but do they have those? >> not specify. >> people who want the service have to pay for it same as über works with high demand with human body for price goes up. people who really want the cars and need cars get the cars. i won't say it is price gouging but airlines do mother here considering circumstances. >> thanks everyone how does he change issues. we're talking it be. look at this. you asked for more varney & company yes you did. some of you did. we're giving it to you starting june the first we'll be moving to 9 a.m. eastern going all the way through till noon. watch out sports fans, a whole extra hour of your favorite financial program coming your way. clear your schedule.

[laughter] but in terms of the negative

portrayal of poor people not that we do it but maybe in the media there's that feeling of a negative portrayal of that does he have the point right? >> no, i think that is actually a false distraction from the actual issue here, and that is big government policies and whether they benefit the poor. when the president accuses fox news or anyone else of dem nicing poor he's not just talking about his policy but policy of progressive since the war on poverty started more than 50 years ago has failed to keep people out of poverty. when you look at the numbers here, you have a record number of people all of labor force. that certainly doesn't help the poor who are looking for jobs. you have the number of people who are looking for homes at -- at the lowest point since 2007. when you take a look at the record number of people on food stamps that is real war on poor here putting them into a system that they cannot get of because it doesn't allow theming to

escape through economic opportunity. >> the president also saying that the media needs to change the way it covers the news. roll that tape again please. >> we're going to have to change how our body politics thinks which means we have to change how the media reports on these issues. >> do you remember couple of years ago when there was an -- equal time was under discussion? remember that? the left was not happy about talk radio which was dominated by conservatives, and bring back the equal time doctrine. do you think to the back -- the doctor that is right. do you think in the bask his mind the president wants to do something like that? >> of course he does. president has never been happy way that press covers the white house even when it has been favorable. president needs to realize that this south america. this is not russia and the press doesn't -- you know, belong to the government or shouldn't report ways things in the way that the

government or white house wants to just because he thinks that they should be shaping a certain narrative. i think that his attitude that he's expressed is something we've seen before and seen it reflected in his lack of transparency and deliberate targeting of reporters don't forget that the administration has tried to intimidate reporters into covering things the right way or not covering them at all. whether that is by tapping phone lines of reporters and their parents even. i mean this administration really had a serious war on journalism not just about the president says the press should cover things differently but they've taken out of the very serious action against the press as a result of their ideology. >> he has a thin skin. don't think he likes it at all. great -- >> no he does not. >> not good for a president i would say. : no. >> thank you so much for joining us have a great weekend. >> you too. >> dairy queen dropping soda from their kids' meal menu, i say helicopter parenting in this day and age go a little bit too

friends don't drink soda. soda industry has a huge problem with their next generation of buyers. >> i do see that. but why -- are restaurant chains trying to push us around and what we have the freedom to buy with our money. >> i think you have the freedom to buy it and responding the fact that people are trying to be healthier and that so many parents my age are not giving their kids soda so why offer it only the kids meal menu right now. they don't necessarily want. sugary beverages are material for you. i don't care what warren buffett has to say. that is irony what we're talking about right now pushing coke to the side and warren buffett is largest shareholder i believe individual. >> i have one more for you. you feelly strongly about with one babies born to low income phones are using smartphone and tablet byes age of 2. with respect see anything wrong with that quite frankly group do.

and we're happy for you and proud to have you only the show. i have another question for you here we go -- 36% of new u.s. businesses were opened by women last year. that is way down from what it used to be. what do you make of that a low percentage of women starting new businesses, go. >> i think that there's a lot of resources out there that women can take advantage of and veterans as well. there's women business development centers, there's veteran business outreach centers. there's a bunker there's a magnitude of resources and that as a business owner you really have to be a lifelong learn earn recheats to take advantage of those. much how many people do you employ? >> we have about 18 employees right now. >> going to expand? >> yeah. hope that we're employing a lot of veterans putting them to work welcome and i really think that --

veterans make really great entrepreneurs. despite the challenges that they face veterans are able to really utilize leadership skills that they have in the military to improvise, adapt and overcome. andening that really the military training that we get really teaches us how to function as a team and teaches us about commitment and about leadership, and building a business really and has to deal with that quality. veterans have a lot to bring to the table. >> yes they do you brought a lot to the table. kenny o'neal thank you very much for joining us, congratulationing on your position of the 2015 veteran entrepreneur of the year. what do you make of that? >> we do a lot of stories about veterans getting jobs starting business, and there's so many large companies reach out to veterans. it is actually more difficult

and she's been very modest about her success. more difficult for them to get businesses started. and start to put that seed money dun and benefit again coming out of the military the financial benefits are not what people think. so the fact that she was able to build a business -- >> more of a question of her spurt. she has discipline. she understands leadership. she wants to bring things together in her own business and ideally qualified as are many veterans. >> one of the issue they face unfortunately has been issue of ptsd that is something that they're trying to address in the business community but these veterans make incredible employees. you know who has done a good job? banks i have to tell you jm morgan to be financial advisors because of the discipline aspects of being a veteran. it is really to be heartening to see businesses like banks do good things. >> thank you cheryl. a woman fired from her job after she deleted an app that was

it didn't happen until about 2 -- 2 months into her employment. >> was it a company issued upon? >> it was an iphone. >> does company therefore own the phone and own the apps and use of apps on it? >> the company owns the apps on phone and owns phone itself but it doesn't have the right to invade her privacy on her own private time. what was nature of the work that miss arias was doing? >> she was a sales representative actually a sales manager for a big swath of the valley of california out to the coys of california. a number of different counties she covered. >> you could make the case that she had to be in touch with her employer on a constant basis you could make that case, couldn't you? investigators question that she needed to be in touch but that is different from being monitored this is not what she

was complaining bout about the fact that according to him and learned with the new app installed on her phone to keep the gps feature on at all times of the day and night when she was technically off the clock. >> are you suing to get her job back? and/or damages? >> we're suing for damages and injunctive reshe does notment to work for a company like that. >> how much are you asking for? 500,000 alleged in the complaint room for time of trial according to to what jury decides. >> is this according to the law of employment. employment law is it at stake here? >> yes, and it is also kind of national privacy laws at stake. we have rules in california that prohibit invasion of privacy already in our constitution. and in a penal code section in

california, that says you can't gps track people. okay that is the california rule. you can't gps, track people. now if you win that has significant repercussions for all kinds of industries and companies i think. each case depends on discreet facts but an important rule that we're talking about here is the separation between our personal privacy and the rights of our employers to know what we're doing at all times of the day and night there's not a right of the employer and that i think law will bear that out in this case and this case will as well. >> gail thanks so much for joining us a very interest case love to see how that turns out. thank gail, appreciate it. >> thank you too. what do you think cheryl? >> interesting argument to have repercussions for companies and for employees throughout the country. i mean but i think -- the company does own the phone. they pay for it.

"imus in the morning" one later this hour herman cain is with us with his take on george stephanopoulos at 12:30 today. to the markets i call this a

dead flat day, we are down 20 points s and p 500 hit a record high yesterday down two points. netflix, look at that. an all-time high $616 a share earlier. it is of 70% this calendar year and it is up today, i am told it will get into the china market. price of gasoline $2.69 for regular today. we have markets at record levels, you are not feeling the so-called economic recovery. according to the latest fox news poll 60% of you feel the country is still in a recession. here is scott shellady in chicago. that is how people feel. they feel we are in a recession. do you think we are going to go into a recession? >> the risks of us going into recession have never been greater. i say that even with 2009 in

mind. if you look of a thing as we can only muster a 2% gdp, pp i is failing, we have unemployment rate not doing what we think it should do or giving us the jobs we thought it would give us so where is the growth going to come from? where is the white knight in shining armor? q e was only there as a place holder in hopes of new growth. we have got no new growth. what will rescue the economy? no one has the right answer. "imus in the morning" when you put your finger on it. we are obviously the economy is not growing very fast if at all. what policy tools do we have available to get us out of this fix? we are not going to print another $4 trillion. president obama won't lower taxes. what policy tool do we have available to get us out of the mess? >> we are seeing papers the brightest minds saying we might

be in this situation and other ten years. maybe get used to the feeling because we don't see this new growth, maybe it comes from health care or technology but nobody can see it coming. as long as that is the case we are not getting bright minds doing what needs to be done. we will be in this quagmire for quite some time because we have no more tools won't cut taxes. if that is the case there will be no new growth. stuart: is the stock market the place to be? is the only game in town. >> because of quantitative these and we pushed mom and pop when a out the risk curve. people are upset because they're looking for that search revealed. i would say that could become increasingly more dangerous to be doing something like that and we have seen the stock market fall because of that. stuart: thanks very much. bring our viewers up to speed on a couple items about the economy. wall street journal economists say the first quarterly three months of the year we will

shrink the economy, not grow it but shrinkage and the second quarter of the year the we are in el, growth of only 0.7%, not much. not good news on the economy. crews are cleaning up the wreckage from the amtrak derailment and president obama has joined the chorus. he is using the accident as a reason to call for more infrastructure spending. listen to this. stuart: a growing >> we are growing country with a growing economy and we need to invest in infrastructure that keeps us this way, not just winds of thing that happens like a bridge collapse or a train derailment but old-time. that is what great nations do. stuart: congressman bill schuster, republican from pennsylvania who chairs the house transportation and infrastructure committee. good to see you, sir. >> thanks for having me. stuart: i said president obama publicized the derailment. what do you say? >> he absolutely did and many democrats on capitol hill, it is

shameful that they would use this tragedy to try to address this situation about a money issue when money has nothing to do with this accident. to point out to your viewers when democrats controlled the house and senate for four years as president obama was president they did nothing to address this situation on the reform of amtrak. our committee in a bipartisan bill passed a reform bill for amtrak in march. we are waiting for the senate to take up and there has to be reforms first even when you talk about money. stuart: what kind of reforms? real radical stuff? >> no. putting in practice business practices corporations around america use, first of all separating the business lines so we get an understanding of what profit and loss on different business units out there. what we did in the reform bill is focusing on the northeast corridor for the first time that an amtrak reform bill was ever

put forward to say the $480 million of profit on operations they create in the northeast corridor should stay in the northeast corridor, not send it across the country, not to do things with the federal budget like high-speed rail in california $3.5 billion going nowhere. if they invest in the northeast corridor you would have a significant difference in the speed of the trains and quality of service that this accident had nothing to do with dollars. had to do with either operator error or equipment error and we are going to find out in coming weeks. stuart: do you think the government should be in the business of running a railroad? >> technically amtrak is a private corporation. the government subsidizes it. i believe we can move step-by-step to move amtrak away from the subsidies and the way you do is force them to put in practice standard business operating practices like having different business line so you can analyze financial analysis

to determine where profits are good how you can change the system to make it better. i believe the northeast corridor is critical to the nation. 18% of the population lives on 2% of the land mass. the densely populated areas you have to have the northeast corridor not just because of amtrak but also the transit systems and commuter rail systems for use these tracks. 200 million people year ride on the northeast corridor rail system and so it is critical to the nation. stuart: is there any chance that in the foreseeable future it will be possible to have the bullet train linking new york philadelphia, washington d.c. and boston? any chance whatsoever? >> not in my lifetime but i believe you can take higher speed rail, the capability of traveling 150 miles an hour. the average speed on the northeast corridor is 88 miles an hour. with better management weekend

that that where you can get from washington d.c. to new york in two hours. that should be our goal. but at pennsylvania, harrisburg to philadelphia, they made the investments and reduced travel time by half an hour. the ridership on the railroad has gone up 80% in the last several years and they're going towards we hope to make a profit. stuart: congressman bill schuster, republican pennsylvania shares the house committee. thank you for joining us we appreciate it. big corporate stories today. loren has got them in case you need them. >> carl icahn investing $100 million to left, a ridesharing apps that values $270 billion a fraction of what uber is with the there is room in the market for both companies. take a mackenzie's laundry detergent appellates you don't have to use that big liquid bottle. they might be easy but they are dangerous. at least seven people have died from bleeding into them.

together, and the thing about political cronies is that you have a lot of political gypsies that are going from one cronies campaign to another cronies campaign. so this is not exactly a shocker. but the good news is he won't be in a position to ask gotcha questions of presidential candidates. >> i think he's a movement i think he's a mole for the clintonistas inside abc news who surfaces every now and again to make hillary clinton look good. am i going too far with that? am i being nasty in the man is an accomplished journalist i'll give him that. a fine man and a fine personality. i just think he's a mole. >> i would agree with you. i don't think you're going too far, stuart, here's why. i used to watch his show from time to time because my wife and i normally go to the early service at 8:00, and back home by 11:00 and i will watch his show. i got so disgusted with the liberal leaning slant and the defense of hillary clinton

defending her titles and never talking about her accomplishments i simply stopped watching it because to me and to you and others who watch this on a regular basis, we could see right through the bias, so you're right. he cannot be a credible journalist or a credible moderator for any of the presidential events that will be coming up in this next several months. stuart: i don't think he can be a bona fide journalist on abc. and i want to ask you, herman, about the position of the reverend al sharpton at nbc. i just don't see how a credible news organization can have the reverend al sharpton on their air as an anchor. i don't see it. >> you shouldn't use al sharpton and credible in the same sentence okay? you need to separate the sentences. look, stuart you and i both know and most people know this because if you will note, and i'm sure that you have al

sharpton's show has done nothing but go down in terms of ratings. that's good news. not because i wish them any ill relative to their program, but it means that more people are waking up and there are fewer and fewer people who are stupid enough to believe that there's any credibility to what al sharpton has to say, and unfortunately, george stephanopoulos has put a very bad optical cloud over his credibility with this entire incident. stuart: why don't you comment on this herman. the president says the media needs to change the way it covers the news. just roll that tape for a second, and then herman comments. >> we're going to have to change how our body politic thinks we're going to change how the media reports on these issues. stuart: all right change the way the media reports on the issues. what do you think he's got in mind?

>> what he has in mind is report what i want to you report, the way i want you to report it, and if it is negative toward me or my administration, don't report it. that's what he is basically talking about, stuart. this president has demonstrated over and over and over that he and his administration cannot withstand constructive criticism. they would rather control the narrative and if they can't control the narrative they would rather bash stations like fox news and others who do not agree with the narrative, because their narrative does not match the facts, and the onl way that they can get around it is to try and silence those that are telling people the truth like fox news and like the herman cain show. stuart: right. i just wonder if the wants to go back to the doctrine equal

time. is that in the back of his mind? >> i believe it's in the back of his mind and the back of the mind of the federal communications commission because about a year ago stuart, they did try to back door the fairness doctrine by saying that all newsrooms needed to have a government mole, as you called it in their newsroom, so they could evaluate how you and i and other news organizations determined what goes on the air. well, that was such a backlash and outcry from a lot of listeners as well as a lot of producers and it was an unfair doctrine but wants to do it through the back door like the administration has done with so many other things in the last six years. >> i believe -- you've got a picture of ronald reagan right behind you. that's the backdrop for herman cain. i think it was ronald reagan who ended the fairness doctrine

and opened up the media to reel interesting points of view. i think that's the case. >> you are absolutely correct because ronald reagan wasn't afraid of the media telling the truth. this administration is afraid of the media telling the truth. stuart: herman cain tells it how he sees it, and tells the truth. appreciate you being with us. thank you very much. >> thank you, stuart. my pleasure. stuart: take a look at this please. this house can be yours for $150 and a good essay. a man in texas is offering this home worth $400000 to the person who writes the best essay and chips in 150 bucks to get into the contest. he's received a few dozen submissions he will make a decision by the end of the summer. cheryl? >> the first question should be why, and so did digging onto this one. it came across the guy is a realtor. this is a hot area of houston. six million people in the houston metro area he doesn't want the house torn down, in the 1920s, 1,000 square feet.

old cottage home. in this neighborhood it's likely someone is going to buy it and tear it down. he probably thought we'll make our money back because we'll accept the essays but you have to pay a fee to submit the essays. he and his wife think they're going to make their money back. i think you won't. stuart: i read into. this he only has a few dozen entries so far. and he expects 3,000 by mid-june. that's not anywhere near 400,000. >> june 13th he expects. in the website he's got built. he said we can rescind the offer change our minds he could get 300 k in that neighborhood for the house. stuart: for the property, not for the essays but the property. he goes out and sells it which is what he should be doing. there is precedence in maine,

if he doesn't make the money he's going to sell it. the guy is not stupid. come on, give me a break. stuart: he's a realityor. not being pejorative about realtors. >> not at all. i used my sources. stuart: what's next? tom brady. officially appealing the punishment handed down to him for deflating footballs in the afc championship game. and another player says it's not the first time he's played with deflated balls. and leave you with another hit from b.b. king, this one is called "everybody lies a little."
