9:00 am
f total cash spending. he says obviously, that companies could be using this in a lot smarter ways. maria: sandra smith and keith mccullough thank you. over to stuart varney have a good show. stuart: you cannot fire a government worker even when your personal security is directly threatened. good morning everyone. case in point, chronic problems with airport security. 67 times out of 70 attempts fake weapons and bombs went right through the tsa. and the top guy is simply reassigned, not fired. big trouble for the iran nuke deal. the new york times reports the iranians have been cheating. their nuclear fuel stockpile has grown. it was supposed to have been frozen. what will it do for president obama's legacy. he says he's made america the most respected country on earth. there's a firestorm of criticism about that one. what leads the news on social media?
9:01 am
caitlyn jenner and vince vaughan we cover it all and "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ >> good day sunshine ♪ ♪ good say sunshine ♪ >> the beatles, now there's a boy band for you. the original. i'm afraid to say ladies and gentlemen there's not much sun in new york city rainy in fact, but we're fired up for day two of the three-hour extravaganza known as "varney & company." a few names, brett baier, former ceo direction, and the man who shot bin laden coming up. we're talking to the ceo of boxed who says he's going to pay college tuition for all of his employee's children. look who is with us to help
9:02 am
things going. liz from the fiscal times and ashley webster who needs no further introduction. headline, your tax dollars not working. an undercover investigation finds that tsa failed to find bombs or weapons 96% of the time. tell me about the security failures, ashley. ashley: department of homeland security put the red teams together and tried to sneak weapons through the tsa screening areas to see how alert they are to the threat of terrorism. apparently they're falling asleep because 67 of 70 weapons ap explosives manage today get through undetected. one was a bomb a fake bomb strapped to the back of an agent who set off the alarm and patted him down and said you're fine carry on. stuart: he walked through. 67 times out of 70 times. liz the top guy in the tsa, only on the job five months. he was reassigned.
9:03 am
you cannot fire a worker. >> that's true. the data is impressive. in the private sector about 3% of employees lose their jobs due to incompetence or whatever. in the federal work force, two and a half million people it's less than 1%. actually it's .55 of a percent. so, in fact nobody gets fired and why? it's a combination of union rules and civil service rules and honestly it's something that nobody talks about, nobody wants to reform it's a huge problem. stuart: sure is. especially this time around. liz, hold on a second. i've got other issues to go through. what is president obama's economic legacy? pretty good if you ask him. roll that tape. >> when i came into office the united states and the world was going through a terrible economic crisis. the worst really since the 1930's. and it was hard, but we ended
9:04 am
up avoiding a terrible depression and within a year the economy was growing again. here in the united states now we're back to the pre-crisis employment levels our auto industry was saved. stuart: well that wasn't a vigorous defense of the economy and his performance. what do you make of it liz? >> he could barely remember what happened. i think, first of all, look henry paulson did a lot of things that started us on the road to recovery by sort of stomping out all the fires of the financial meltdown and then the taxpayers stepped in. we saved the economy through the stimulus and through auto bailouts and bank bailouts. the truth is yes, there has been a recovery, we all know it's the slowest since world war ii and what i think is striking now, seven years on is that consumers are not spending and businesses are not
9:05 am
investing. what is the common link there? the last of confidence. where does it come from? i think it comes directly from the white house. stuart: ashley. ashley: couldn't have put it better than myself. suggest sub 2% is not good enoughment we contracted in the first quarter and i know they said we did the same last year. you can only blame bad weather for so much. stuart: and how it's going to play out in obama's legacy past 18 months we have been talking with iran. their stockpile of nuclear fuel has increased about 20%. liz i've got to go back to you on this one. how can you claim that america has now become the most respected country on earth when our enemies are lying to us cheating us and we're going to give them a bomb? i'm sorry, i realize that-- easy there. the truth is on the iran negotiation all the frailties
9:06 am
of the obama administration's foreign policy have come home to roest. we are basically so desperate. obama is so desperate for the legacy for the iran deal that we're sweeping under the rug, the preliminary agreement a year ago they were supposed to come clean and military developments and things like that. they haven't surprised. who is surprised her' cheat-- they're cheating? i'm not. >> russia takes over part of ukraine and crimea. chinese builds 45 military islands in the pacific ocean. isis running rampant. we're the most respected country on earth? i don't get that. ashley: it started with the apology tour around the muslim world and we haven't had any strategy at all and that
9:07 am
ditherring ditherring led us to where we are today. stuart: the tsa, and obama, we're not where he thinks. and lauren is here in case you missed the headlines. >> good morning, seven million watches how many apple sold since april 10th and out of those seven million orders not even half have been shipped. analysts have a way to go and they say they'll sell 40 million watches this year. watch out spotify. apple is working on a streaming music service that will cost you $10 a month. they transformed the music business with itunes in 2003 and plans to do it again with the new streaming service, expect an announcement next week. those apple vans that you've been seeing roaming around cities across the country, well, a new report says they house apple's new mapping data base. they've been gathering pictures of stores streets, landmarks and 3-d images for apple's new
9:08 am
data base that's expected in 2017. stuart: i keep thinking we're still on at 11:00 in the morning. and i said well where is apple stock? the market has not opened. apologies everyone, a memory lapse there, it's 9:07 and the market will open then. and call me caitlyn. caitlyn jenner blowing up social media, the first to add a million twitter follower. this is what everybody is talking about. >> it's phenomenal. the cultural phenomena. you go through the process with her and that's-- that photo on the front of vanity magazine striking and he's going to be she's going to be pardon me i'm going to do that a lot, a very very rich person. stuart: yes, i think-- that's what i take away from this because coming up she's going to have a reality show i
9:09 am
believe, of some sort i'm thinking it appears in the fall of the year. ashley: not a surprise. stuart: that's going to be a ratings bonanza and a huge moneymaker for caitlyn jenner no way around it? >> no and rightly so. it's a huge story, a huge celebrity. those two things go well together. i wished i looked that good. what the heck. [laughter] >> the reaction has been astonishing in terms of its pervasive impact on social media. i got up this morning at 3:00 checked in with the apple, you know, i should say, it's all over that that's what everything is geared towards. i'm astonished at the reaction. it's not a negative reaction it's a lel of interest. ashley: stuart, it's the story right now and fascinating. well, one of the stories. stuart: i want to see that reality show. >> i guess. i mean yes, i guess. stuart: i will watch, i will watch. i want to see how many millions of dollars she makes out of
9:10 am
this. >> that's going to be very impressive. stuart: yes, it is. thanks, everybody. hillary clinton maybe showing her true colors. a supporter who wanted a picture with her and autograph and hillary tells her to get to the end of the line not in that tone of voice, but get to the end of the line. how does that look? we're going to play you the full video and you can be the judge. >> when families are strong america is strong. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman. >> i want them out as soon as they can get out. >> will you demand it? >> well they're not mine. >> what difference at this point does it make?
9:11 am
9:12 am
9:13 am
>> listen to what hillary clinton told an autograph seeker on the campaign trail in new hampshire. roll tape. >> if you go-- go to the end of the line. why don't you go to the end of the line. stuart: when i saw that what
9:14 am
if she had been a republican ordering a woman to the back of the line? i think that it would be different. ashley: absolutely. this happened outside the schmucky nose brewery, i think it's-- >> that's what it's called. ashley: the schmucky nose brewery perhaps the way she was behaving. the biggest knock on hillary, her personality, she's inaccessible, she won't answer questions she's very uncomfortable around the everyday americans she's trying to reach and that's another example of that. stuart: the way i saw the videotape she was looking to one side of her and a question came from a reporter. she didn't want to answer that question. >> she immediately shot to the right. >> and turned and said to the young woman get to the back of the line. ashley: deflection from the question. stuart: i think so. i think it was a pre-programmed response to questions which she does not wish to answer. ashley: either way it feeds into the inaccessibility she gives off.
9:15 am
stuart: it's not hurting her in the polls. she is ahead of the republican candidates. ashley: there's a long way to go. stuart: well said. in washington today, a hearing is taking place in the next hour on the deadly amtrak accident in philadelphia. the democrats used it as an opportunity to call for more funding. >> to fund amtrak as the president's budget request was voted down. an amendment to fund the train control which some have said could have prevented what happened night before last that was that would have funded positive train control at the president's budget level $825 million, that was voted down. stuart: the amtrak derailment became a rallying cry for more spending on infrastructure. joining us now, congressman bill schuster to chairs the
9:16 am
house transportation committee. welcome to the program, good to have you with us. >> thank you for having me stuart. stuart: is this a money problem? if we chucked money at amtrak would we solve the amtrak problem? >> no what nancy pelosi said about amtrak is absolutely wrong. in fact they were working towards putting ptc on and they had some technological problems, but ptc from my understanding talking to amtrak, it was on track to be up and running by the end of the year. so this idea that money was the problem is absolutely false. what we have here today, we're going to be at a hearing from the fra administrator, from ceo of amtrak and n.t.s.b. we're getting some answers on where this investigation is going. so far they have not said anything about the equipment and they're looking at the operator. so we need to find answers and then act-- congress needs to act accordingly. >> is it a problem? amtrak has a problem and is
9:17 am
that problem that it's essentially run by the government? what i'm getting at can you ever expect amtrak to be run efficiently and profitbly? some way can you make it to be an efficient and profitable operation? can you ever do that? >> what i believe, we can reform amtrak. a couple of months ago in march. we passed a bill in the house and it has significant reforms to amtrak focusing on the northeast corridor which is the only profitable line in amtrak's inventory, focusing those profitability dollars into the northeast corner and make those investments and look at other lines across the country and business units and see how much they're losing money like a real business would do focus on restructuring them do them where they're not losing as much money and get them to maybe break even. i believe we need passenger rail in this country. northeast corridor is ception.
9:18 am
the population on the land mass. stuart: could we privatize, maybe not the northeastern corridor, that's profitable. but the other lines? couldn't we sell them off to private enterprises and they make a go of it? that's what they do in britain. >> they sold off the operations and kept the infrastructure. that's something that we have to look at. with our reform bill we're separating out the different business units so we can see what they have the assets and liabilities are, what the income statements really look at profit and loss and i think that we need to do that before the private sector will consider looking at some of the other lines. >> many of our viewers really have a problem with this administration, which is all government all the time in the name of fairness we keep introducing government and just about everything. can we get away from that? i mean really get away from it, reverse course go for smaller government less
9:19 am
intrusion into the many sectors of our society? i'm sure that's the way you want to go congressman, but do you really think you can do that? we've never been able to do that in the past. >> absolutely i think we can and i think you'll stay tuned for the coming months. we're doing an f.a.a. reauthorization and do something very different as we talked about for 20 years. we're finally at a point where we can do something different. we can make the air traffic control organization out of the government and turn it into a lot for profit corporation, similar to what the canadians have done and the germans and the brits have done and take it out and they can hospital in a much more efficient way and continue to maintain the higher levels of safety that we have today. stay tuned in the next coming months you're going to see that on the f.a.a. ornaments. stuart: congressman schuster come back and tell us about your progress. we'd like to hear. coming into us now, ford motor company sales and this is year over year may this year over
9:20 am
may last year. down 1.3%. i was expecting. a lot of people were expecting auto sales would be going up. this is just ford motor company and they're down 1.3%. i am told that that's better than expected. don't trust these expectations down 1.3%. ashley: fiat chrysler is up better than ford. stuart: first bank of america, then goldman sachs and now billionaire carl icahn delivers his warning on the markets. let's see what he had to say after this.

9:31 am
in the wall street journal some think it's a bargain. larry levin in chicago, is cold a bargain at 1193 an ounce? >> i agree it's a bargain and i agree with the other guests there raising interest rates will make it go higher. if there are higher interest rates, it's fed driven cold prices will certainly reflect that. stuart: sandra, i want to bring you into the price of gold. texas is talking about building its own gold bullion depository. sandra: this is not a spot you're going to store your grandmother's gold earrings it has to be in bullion form. but the bullion has to go to the governor by the way and a
9:32 am
representative, a republican representative has been trying to do it for years. it's got to be bullion, stamped in a particular form and interesting, because-- >> well at the moment texas has a billion dollars worth of gold bars that are in new york. sandra: at the federal reserve. stuart: no at the hong kong banking corporation in new york city city. sandra: you know, they used to keep this in all the central banks. chicago, we used to see it all the time. and that's not the case anymore. this could be something that could shape-- other states could follow suit as well. stuart: could be. look at apple shall the market is now open. down 50 points look at apple, one analyst says they will sell seven million watches. they've already sold seven million watches and they're going to sell 40 million for the year how about that? connell: apple smapple. ashley: this year is the apple watch christmas, and everyone will want it that's what
9:33 am
they're saying because that's what they want the apple watch christmas. sandra: we can't get him to wear a regular old watch. ashley: a regular watch. like a sun dial. stuart: they say-- stop it. they say it sold seven million and only delivered half of them. they've got a delivery problem and expect to sell 40 million by the end of the year. >> you look at apple, they don't overproduce, so they underproduce and create a demand there. if you go on the apple site order a watch, you can get one in july. apple is creating the buzz around the product. i agree, by christmas, the apple thing is the cool thing to have. i have five young kids i expect to buy at least five apple watches. stuart: five young kids. ashley: will you adopt me. [laughter] >> i have six children and nine grandchildren. >> for now. stuart: what's that gm sales?
9:34 am
gm sales up let's bring everybody up to year on year. and general motors stock is at 36. a big liability problem. sandra: car, truck sales, they continue to tick up. a lot of positive signs as far as the consumer is concerned, people are at least buying vehicles. stuart: 17 million new vehicles sold this year may be on track for that. which is a huge number. go pro, take a look at that. we give them a lot of pre free advertising. they've come out with one with a touch screens. ashley: for the geeks out and there techies, they love it. they have a gadget with six cameras on it to use it in a virtual world. they have an a drone coming out and they're adding to their product list. >> they're not a one-trick pony. people talk about gopro's
9:35 am
valuation and whether or not they deserve that. the biggest thing is the content. if gopro can take the videos and put them on the internet and go to pay for. you see the stock from the high 40's to the high 50's in the last week. >> i was looking at the video we're showing there. >> skydiving. sandra: do each one of your kids have these? >> only three have it. ashley: i can't believe it, will you adopt me? >> wait until the grandchildren arrive, son. and wal-mart raised wages for 100,000 people workers who show up every day on time don't take a lot of sick leave, very hard to find. sandra, i think that wal-mart raised wages because they want to attract and keep quality labor not just of some left from the left or union. >>. sandra: we know that wal-mart aren't meet the demand for higher wages unless it benefitted the company.
9:36 am
it's hard to find work-- it's affecting the bottom line. in the most recent quarter wal-mart reported on. we took a hit to the bottom line because we had the wage increases. be careful what you wish for. if you have a long-term affect on the company, that affects the american job. stuart: have you seen the ad. raises in pay raises of us. >> of the 1.4 million workers, only 5,000 are at minimum wage and everything else is an above that. so they're getting a lot of pr by a wage raise. sandra: by the way, they count on the workers to spend that money at their story anyway. stuart: higher for dollar general. come in nicole from the floor of the new york stock exchange. is dollar general is indicator? >> it certainly could be. the worker at wal-mart are paid more, but overall we've had stagnant wage growth we
9:37 am
haven't even the greatest job creation and it's been tepid. they're seeing the customer spending there, customer receipts are higher. so there's been higher traffic at the store. what are americans buying at the store, tobacco, candy, snacks, perishable and apparel and home goods. dollar general is up close to 4% and the profit rose 14% and they've had the full year outlike. stuart: the dow jones industrials is down almost 100 points. we're off 92 points well below 18,000. when we have a stock market guest on the program, we insist he or she recommends a big name stock. they've got to like it and say this stock is going up. what does mike have for us today? >> starbucks. stuart: thank you. how much do you like starbucks? >> we like starbucks a lot. it's several reasons, not just because of the coffee which everyone knows about.
9:38 am
we really look at starbucks and the reason we're buying it at multi-year highs. stuart: you own it? >> we own starbucks. starbucks has new technology you're going to be able to go on your phone, order your drink put your name is way for it on the phone and walk out-- >> is that a big deal? >> walk out in ten seconds. >> you no longer wait in line no longer have to pay there. stuart on the cup and-- >> he doesn't know he won't buy a starbucks because it's expensive. the customers that goes into starbucks is techie. the second they were able to buy it on the iphone they use the phone. eight out of ten customers i see at starbucks pays with their phone. stuart: i take it back. >> they'll increase same-store sales because you're not able
9:39 am
to wait in line and later they'll roll out high marina alcohol. a lot of people like it and that will help margins and we think that the stock has a lot more upside from here. not cheap, but a lot of upside management. stuart: you could have your cocktail waiting for you at starbucks. stuart: later on the show we've got a guy who runs a website that will deliver alcohol to you in a big city in 45 minutes. sandra: i've already got that. stuart: you've got an app? connell:. >> no i've got a guy. >> going after movie theaters for exclusive rights to show certain movies in certain markets. they don't like local monopolies. what is the government doing. stuart: i have no idea they
9:40 am
say it's the movie studios who make the decisions on these and say they want an exclusive with, you know regal cinemas or amc. ashley: in this market you've got it. stuart: what prevent doj from coming in there. sandra: stay out of our business and out of our movies. >> the movie theater business changed a lot. you're getting a higher quality service when you go there. you have the movie theaters they'll bring you food or drinks to your seats so the i think the government is trying to overset their grounds here, but but-- >> rand paul claim being-- claiming victory over the patriot accurate. but on this show ralph peters highly, highly critical. roll tape. >> doesn't know how to works, or care how it works. rand paul is a scoundrel and
9:41 am
charlton. he's going after his crave enn ambitions he reminds of mccarthy, but at least carthy feigned going after congress, but rand paul is targeting patriotic and intelligent professionals.
9:42 am
9:43 am
9:44 am
>> why is the dow industrials down 91 points? well, we're told that greece has to make a $2 billion payment by friday. they don't have the money. and nobody's going to lend them the money so i suppose you could say worries about greece yet again pushing our market down. all right, rand paul declaring victory over the nsa, but he's got critics. he's on his own side of the aisle. let's bring in a former director of the cia, on our air yesterday, sir, we had a respected military historian
9:45 am
and military m8 that's what they're doing with e-mails and a lot of people talk about this as if they were sitting out there reading the content of your e-mails. that's a lie. stuart: okay. sorry to interrupt you, sir, but we've had a lot of
9:46 am
discussion about this on this program. my position is that in the age of potential nuclear terrorism within our own borders, that's a distinct possibility in the future, maybe we need some new rules a new interpretation of the constitution so that we can actually take care of this threat and you say what? >> well at the very least, one does not want to make the problem harder for the domestic law enforcement agencies or overseas for the cia and nsa, by the way one operates and these steps that senator paul and others have taken are effectively ending the bulk surveillance or surveillance outside of the envelopes for e-mails and that's a big loss. there was press this morning that at least one of the telephone companies, that they were looking to to say, look
9:47 am
you're going to store the data right? we can look at it within six months or whatever. that phone company said no there's nothing that requires us to store anything. >> it has to be the government nsa which restores everything otherwise it gets deleted and we lose access to it that's your point. let me bring this to your attention, it's coming to us now from the associated press. the fbi confirms wide scale use of surveillance flights over u.s. cities. these planes were carrying video and cell phone surveillance technology. your thoughts on this james? i know we're springing it upon you your immediate thoughts and reaction? >> i don't know what their ports look like for that. the law enforcement matter and i was not in law enforcement. i was in intelligence overseas. so i think that somebody like a justice department counsel, someone familiar with this issue, whether they needed some type of filing from the court
9:48 am
or do this on their own and whether there's any federal court surveillance of this such as the foreign intelligence surveillance act court. i don't know. but if they were behaving legally then hopefully they're succeeding. if they were behaving illegally somebody should make them stop. maria: you ran the-- >> you ran the cia and outside of our border. >> i oversaw them. stuart: well i guess that's the same thing. i'm not quite sure, but you oversaw the cia. i don't want to sound as if i was the case officer. i was not. stuart: okay. are we weaker today in terms of intelligence overseas than we were when you were overseeing the cia? >> well some things were improved after 9/11 by making it possible for us to work closely with overseas intelligence services and there were some steps in a reform
9:49 am
direction that made it easier, but this act in the senate over the course of the last two or three days basically completely undercut the key parts of the patriot act. i think that it's a bad mistake. stuart: what do you think is the major threat from overseas? i know that our viewers which it's the iranians getting a nuke. what say you? >> i agree with that, but it's also the north koreans even as of today because either-- any country as long as it has a nuclear weapon and a ballistic missile that could put that missile into orbit and that would include today, for example north korea, is in a position where they can launch into orbit a nuclear weapon detonate it in orbit say above the united states and do huge damage and even shut down if they do it right, our electric grid. we've got 18 critical

infrastructures in the country, food, water, et cetera all 17 of the others depend on electricity. if the electric grid goes down it's not just the lights that go out, it's everything else. stuart: i hate to leave it on such a threatening note james woolsey overseer. if i can put it like that.

9:55 am
raleigh, north carolina. tom, your reaction when you first heard the feds are just taking your money? >> i was very shocked that something like this could happen in america. i was in disbelief when i first learned of the fact from our bank vice-president saying that we had no money in our account and that we had approximately an hour to come to the bank with a little over $18,000 so that we could make good on checks that were coming due that day. stuart: they didn't-- no federal agent appeared on your doorstep and said we're doing this because of this this and this? you first found out from the bank? >> that's correct. the bank vice-president called in the morning and spoke to me. she was somewhat hysterical and said that your money is all gone, marla, and you have bills
9:56 am
that are going to be due within an hour and if you don't cover this, you're going to fall into default. stuart: wait a second did the feds explain to you what you supposedly had done wrong, tom? >> no there was never any explanation never any warning, absolutely nothing. stuart: okay marla, how are you going to pay the $25,000 legal bill because you've got to pay? >> well the only way we have been surviving so far because, unlike other people we actually lost our business as a result of this. most people who have gone through with civil asset forfeiture may lose their money, but their business stays intact. however for us the people that we have done business with will no longer work with us. we have lost our reputation. we have lost just about everything and for this year the way we survived is that we
9:57 am
are selling off, through auction things that we were saving supposedly for our retirement. stuart: tom and marla, you are classic examples as to why this rule on structuring must be endedment thank you very much for your time today. we appreciate you coming and telling your story, it's shocking indeed. thank you. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: president obama says yes he's restored's trust in the world. we are number one again, he says. we'll ask the man who killed bin laden what he thinks about that. >> 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.

bin laden is here about that. and yet he says and i quote i am the closest thing to a jew who has ever occupied the oval office. what about the? whatever happened to the care act. going up thanks to obamacare. and support for the second amendment, the actor wants to see more guns in schools? the judge is here to weigh in on that one. the second hour of "varney & company" starts now. . stuart: where are we now nothing like that dow industrials? we're down not that much, we were down 106 now we're down 75. the car makers are out with their numbers for may. ford sales down just about 1%,

10:02 am
president obama. here's what he said to channel 2. you know i think i am the closest thing to a jew that has ever sat in this office. people say i am antiisrael or worse, it hurts. >> let's give you the context. this came from an interview with a israeli administration david axlerod, so that's the source of this. he said that the president made these comments venting because he was very upset that he was being portrayed as antijewish and even worse anti-semitic and that's when he made those comments, to say i'm antiisrael, it hurts. just speaks to the relationship i think between this white house this administration and israel. because axlerod goes on to say that netanyahu is the one who wants something as opposed to the type of politician that
10:03 am
does something. >> so he is if you're going to the fight between president obama. >> absolutely. it's very scathing of netanyahu . stuart: i wasn't expected to read that. another one about president's legacy. here's what he said when asked about foreign policy. >> you know, people don't remember. when i came into office, the united states in world opinion ranked below china and just barrel above russia. and today once again the united states is the most respected country on earth. and part of that i think is because of the work that we did to reengage. >> well, joining us now is the former navy seal, the man who shot osama bin laden. welcome to the program again. >> thank you . stuart: you the most respected country on earth. what douse. >> well, that's optimism
10:04 am
coming out. but i don't see that as far as the middle east. the negotiations with iran, and at the end of june, those are over. we've got the problem with isis they're running wild, they took all the surplass of machinery we left behind for them. as the poorly led iraqi armey flees, we've got the problem in yemen the hutu rebels are backing out. everybody is making moves out there because they don't feel -- one of the pillars of our military is they're not detered by anything because we're not going to do anything. stuart: no fears the united states of america. huge military power, and nobody fears us. i don't think we're respected. >> we're definitely not feared. there's a number of reasons. the enemies that we have around the world -- not even just enemies but competition. they study us. they realize one time of problems is that the american problem doesn't have the stomach for another war right now . stuart: do you believe that. >> well, no, i think we're coming around to it as the threat of isis grows especially .
10:05 am
stuart: yeah. >> we're seeing bad stuff on the interpret but worse is going on behind the scenes . stuart: so nobody wants to see 150,000 troops walk into afghanistan. >> it wouldn't take that . stuart: but, say a group of navy seals or rangers, i don't think people are that opposed to it. >> right. that would be more for point targets though. i'm talking about something off the coast of syria with a marine unit that can sent in some marines that way. air and ground supporter. if the marines fight isis, it's not going to take that long at all. i fought against these same guys, and it was a lot easier than you would think . stuart: you've got to tell us about this. >> well, they're really tough when they're cutting off people with their hands behind their back. when we met them, they were dressing as women cowering, we were break into their houses, wake them up at night in their sleep . stuart: you did that?
10:06 am
>> yeah. that was one of our tactics. . stuart: were had it these just extremists -- >> no. this is hard-core al-qaeda which was the founder of now isis . stuart: why do don't we hear this? >> yeah. stuart: i want to see guys, isis guys with their hands up, white flags waiving. >> yeah. stuart: being marched we away. >> they make it even easier because a lot of them want to fight to the death, so that's the easier way to fight. safe money on had you seen of. . stuart: why haven't i heard this before? i have not heard this before. i have not heard that they don't fight very well. all i heard that they -- >> yeah, because of. >> everyone's running away and all they do is execute people. if they stood tow to tow with the u.s. marine core, it would not be long at all. >> how many guys do you think it would take? >> oh, that's more of a -- >> difficult one. >> something for the pentagon to decide. >> 10,000? 20,000.
10:07 am
>> 10,000 . stuart: sitting right where you're sitting now rob,. >> yeah. stuart: he said 10,000 guys from the united states of america could certainly hold them off and push them back. >> yeah. stuart: i don't know about total wipe out. but 10,000 troops would do it. >> 10,000 americans that were allowed to fight with the gloves off and use our air supporter, our great weaponry and communications. >> and these guys want to fight; right? >> the marines? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> that's what they do. >> they're hiding in the civilian and -- >> yeah. that's the problem. what the enemy likes to do is they'll put women and children in places where they know we're going to hit and then they use the propaganda and say, look, have made bombing schools. but i was fighting in iraq, there was a 20-1 ratio even though we never use that, and we started putting rules
10:08 am
ourselves and restricting ourselves where we had to say can i make the shot or am i going to go to prison? if we say no collateral damage, there will be no can california collateral damage . stuart: may i ask what the rules of engagement were when you went to knock off osama bin laden. >> we were there to capture a kill. but we also knew what a threat everyone there was. so if they weren't standing there surrendering, we were assuming it was a suicide vest. so at my last point in afghanistan, i did 13 total my last deployment i remember where guys were leave in the trees, go into caves and we would say we don't know there are women and children in the waives, we just approve there are. . stuart: i didn't know the conversation was going to go like that. >> i didn't either. . stuart: thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you . stuart: here's lauren with the
10:09 am
other headlines in just case you missed them. >> that was fascinating stuart . stuart: yeah. >> well, another snack company goes healthy. removing artificial flavors lowering sodium in 250 products pizza to hot pockets. so the bad stuff will be gone by the end of the year. and imagine this. after two deadly and mysterious plane crashes last year it decimated business for malaysian airlines, they will break even by 2018. that's about cut willing a third of its staff and selling some of its planes. they have been kept alive by the government in the meantime. and the army is getting a new uniform. next month you will start to see soldiers wearing this. it's what's called the operational camouflage pattern, they have four years to make transition. . stuart: hold on a second. rob o'neal. >> i knew you were going to do it .
10:10 am
stuart: what do you think of it? >> those are sharp. >> one of the things i used to work with a lot of guys, the first time they got it, they said we don't need to shine those in my anymore we're so happy. >> kitchening a question? >> sure. >> there's requiringous testing that goes into making these uniforms, do you know anything about that? >> i don't know much about it. i just remember they called it the digital camouflage, and it could work in the desert, in the trees with at night especially, and against enemy night optics if they had them. . stuart: those look like army boots,. >> they don't feel like it either. [laughter] . stuart: one more time. thank you very much. health care. it's about to get even more expensive for a great more people. why some providers want the hike fees by as much as 30%. we'll have that for you. plus the fees being demanded by doctors from across the country. now, some of them are making tens of millions of dollars just from you being ill.

[laughter] she's got a big show planned for today. he is in orlando, florida. landlord, neil. i know you've got a lot of big name republicans there. but you know what we're all looking for? we're looking for a breakout candidate. i know it's early in the election cycle but we want somebody to break out become
10:15 am
the front runner. you got him or her on tap today? >> i have no idea, stuart. [laughter] >> you didn't goon? i would share that? . stuart: no. >> they're all going to make their benchmark marco rubio was supposed to be here, because of senate duties, he can't. so the senators aren't here. rand paul isn't here, but a lot of governors are kris chris christie, nevin between. but as far as whether it's scott walker, what they're going to do, what they're going to say to calve nize the crowd, this is just sort of their warmup act to get people thinking about their prescriptions for the economy. it's only about the economy. just the economy . stuart: yeah, as long as they cut tax rates for individuals and corporations, we're right behind them. is that right neil? >> it's all by you, isn't it,
10:16 am
stuart? . stuart: you have to admit it, neil. >> i deeply admire that. . stuart: okay. just wait a second. you have to admit that neil coast to coast is modeled directly on "varney & company." isn't it? [laughter] >> you got me. [laughter] . stuart: neil with we will be watching. >> you got me . stuart: thank you very much for appearing on "varney & company." >> he's speechless. >> you caught him. wow . stuart: some health insurance proposing big rate increases hike from up to 30% for providers all across the country. look who's here. apple metro ceo. he owns and runs 30 apple in the new york area alone. good morning. >> good morning . stuart: what's happened to the cost of heth care that you provide for your people since obamacare came along. >> well, it was all very
10:17 am
predictable. the people that would opt in would be the ones who need health care most, predispositions, et cetera et cetera. the people who need it least will take the fine. $90 versus 10% of their income. so what's happen? and it's going to get worse stuart. here's a prediction. that when people see what their increases are for the health care, they'll opt out for next year. so the pool who are in there will become smaller and smaller for healthy people. and they will also find i can tell you this firsthand, that they have found over estimated their income, so these tax rebates that they're getting aren't there. and they feel a bit deceived. and those people definitely won't be . stuart: i'm going to pick up on that. they feel a bit deceived. >> correct. stuart: you're talking about the reaction of the people who work in your restaurants. >> absolutely .
10:18 am
stuart: they will have deceived. >> of course because you estimate what your income is. now you have a -- it's household income, by the way, . stuart: yeah. >> so you have a son daughter starts to contribute to household income, and your estimate is higher. well your tax refunds were incentive identifying you to buying these. . stuart: enthusiastically on a daily basis. >> yeah. stuart: you run an operation. >> yeah. stuart: with thousands of people. . stuart: your capital is at risk. what do you feel about this? >> well, -- you look calm, by the way. >> it's turning. look, it is what it is and you have to work through it, and you have to navigate through it. but it's much worse than what you're prereceiving. what you're seeing here. here's what happened last year in new york. we have one week sick leave, which is another way of getting one week's pay. that started -- for every 30
10:19 am
hours work, you get one hour of sick leave. so up to 40 hours. . stuart: is that raises your cost right from the get-go. >> everybody gets another week's pay week's vacation. would you not use your week's -- so it's another week. we've got spread of hours. what you know spread of hours is? stuart: tell me. >> if someone works ten hours they don't have to work it. they come in and you say take the rest of the afternoon off because we have a lull from 2:00 until 5:00. if you're on call for ten hours, you automatically get paid another hour of free pee. you you get paid for 11 . stuart: your costs have just gone straight up. >> we keep going. we just keep going. minimum wage . stuart: what is it? >> well, minimum wage increases this year in new york state it increases december 31st, and then of course you know about all these things that are going on about raising the minimum wage. the motto wasn't built to
10:20 am
handle that increase in minimum wage. so bottom line. what can you do? a i don't want to sound uncompassionate about the lowest earners because it's really easy to paint a picture of you're not compassionate you don't care about your people -- we desperately care about our people and about the people in america and the working force in america. we're just hollowing out that work force. we're taking pride. america, we're going to give you the raise the president said. who is the "we"? number one? . stuart: it's you. >> it's you. it's everybody here. . stuart: that's true. >> that's the "we" that he's giving our money away. america will give you a raise. but more importantly we're weaning people more and more toward government. health care has stepped in. you always went to your employer for health care; right? >> yeah. stuart: now you go to give the
10:21 am
for health care. now you go to give the. so how do we get through this? there's only a couple of things. there's not a lot of alternatives. and the biggest thing that the governor did here in new york state, servers -- the people which is about 70/30 70% in the front of the house 30% in the back of the house servers were paid $5.25 an hour below minimum wage, but in reality they earn 20, 30, 40, $50 ran hour because tips are counted . stuart: yes. >> the government decided we won't count tip share anymore. so servers all get a 50% goes from 5 and a quarter to $7.75 . stuart: glad we came to you. you're on the ground floor you know what you're talking about. >> yeah. we are. and we're keeping through it . stuart: keep us updated . stuart: appreciate it. >> thank you . stuart: earlier we told you
10:22 am
about president obama he is the closest thing to a jew to have held the office. congressman lee the only republican jewish person responds to that next hour. that will be 11:30 today. what a show. >> great show . stuart: extraordinary stuff. the company that allows you to rent your house only. why would anyone let you rent your house to total strangers? the word. money. and reduce the amount of antibiotics they use in their animals

10:26 am
stuart: lawmakers in oregon want farmers to use fewer antibiotics. and they are considering new restrictions thereon. liz. chipotle nestle, private enterprise, may restrict already because consumers demand it. >> that's right. stuart: is those the proper role for government to insist on it and regulate. >> no. it's not. and this little guy the small businesses are up and arms. they're saying if you do not let us use antibiotics in our cattle and meat products, those animals will get sick and die so why are you making the animals suffer without the use of antibiotics? i think it's a really bad trend and it's not right . stuart: does it lead to healthier food and a healthier society. >> well, they're worried about the over use of antibiotics. and let me tell you something.
10:27 am
i've covered this story. the chicken industry fights diseases in their flocks every day. vd in the chicken industry. so they need to keep those antibiotics in place in order to keep their businesses going going. whether you're against it or not or pro animal, i i am pro to an animal rights . stuart: yeah. >> and i understand what the ranchers and this meat industry is saying in this regard . stuart: that's good stuff. thank you liz. >> sure. stuart: polarizing remarks. he says he wants to see more guns in schools. now, does that protect children or put them in even more danger? we're on it. plus more on the exclusive report, government slackers being paid to do a bad job and they cannot be fired the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables

10:31 am
stuart: actor vince mann started a firestorm online after making comments in an interview with eq magazine about school shootings and teachers and staff carrying guns in schools. he said in all of our schools it is illegal to have guns on campus so again and again these guys shoot at these schools because they know there are no guns there. all rise janet napolitano on a different subject for you.
10:32 am
>> it makes sense to me. talking about students in secondary schools, public schools. stuart: caretakers and staff carrying guns. he thinks it's good that you think? >> i agree with him. it is real where the teachers and staff are trained and required to carry guns. you never see the type of innovation spare. stuart: they are using a rather different security. >> i agree the culture is different and what vince vaughn suggested will not change overnight. but think about it. why did these killings occur in schools? the perpetrators know the chance of them being stopped. they all end up dead the killers. the fodder occurs before the police get there. it could be minimized and
10:33 am
perhaps avoided. stuart: are you prepared to pay the risk of a student and a teacher in front of the class with a colt 45 under the arm or locked in the juror. >> it would be a concealed weapon. it wouldn't be a target for the students. we are talking about the israeli example, where people are trained in the use of the weapon. it would be potentially catastrophic if they had a weapon and didn't know how to use it for us to have the weapon and is slated in a way so it became an attraction. stuart: would you be prepared for a teaching program to pay teachers and teach them how to use a gun and carry the gun? >> what a u.s. back to the question to the parent of the babies that were slaughtered in the new town massacre. they would've had a better
10:34 am
chance of survivor. the police can't be everywhere all the time. we all know that. if these monsters are stopped innocent lives will be saved. stuart: i have to tell you i've got six children and nine grandchildren and i can imagine wanting those children to go to a school for the teacher carries a gun in the classroom. i can't imagine it. >> instead you imagine the reality of a school where they are like fish in a barrel to a monster. liz: why do you have armed security guards in every school? >> i was there at the same purpose. i don't know if that is much different than what is suggesting. stuart: i think we disagree on this one. >> get off the set. >> the fbi is spying on us as we walked down the street. stuart: gladly read the story.
10:35 am
the fbi confirming the agency -- can we get quite on the set. the fbi confirms they been operating small surveillance flights over u.s. citizens. they've been looking down taking pictures. i suppose he would say there we go again. our privacy totally invaded. i can't think of anything more un-american than big government watching us from the skies. where are they authorized to do that? >> it's not a precaution. they can check up and say what is going on to alert people to danger. >> to prevent dragnets, which the king of england imposed on us. that is the year in which the fourth amendment was written. there has to be a basis for targeting someone whether it's articulable suspicion on both level basis but thoughts and ideas about the person or probable cause serious
10:36 am
evidence. the government can't take pictures of people in the hopes we find someone breaking the law. that is profoundly contrary to the constitution. stuart: have you visited england recently? >> london is the most about in the planet. the average person is photographed 64 times. >> we are getting that way here. and there are no handguns in england. not a cloud. on a regular basis. no handguns anyway. can you imagine the n.y.p.d.? you can't lay down rules. >> are the bad guys in london genteel like you and ashley? stuart: didn't you read the story about the geriatric jam guys in the 70s.
10:37 am
>> do you believe this? stuart: what a show with god. it's a great show. talk to my agent about the fee. >> there we go again. cash or slackers. millions of dollars paid to federal workers who are not doing their jobs. listen to a former labor department official vince dimaggio told her. >> they need to be funding the doctors and employees to serve veterans i mike they do today. i'm not quite sure about whatever is going. liz cummings got another one. transport you know how unions and the government are doing union business at their best
10:38 am

. stuart: president obama says he believes that he is as close to a jewish president that we've ever seen. that's according to to the david axlerod. here's what axlerod said to israel channel # and i'm quoting directly. you know, i think i am the closest thing to a jew that has ever sat in this office. for people to say that i am antiisrael or even worse it hurts. that's what axlerod said obama said. joining me now congressman lee. >> well, facts and history tell a much different story. i mean just last summer when the israelis decided that they wanted want to live in fear,
11:32 am
running to bomb shelters every day from the attacks from hamas and they said enough was enough, it was the president who was saying urging patients on part of the israelis while praising the authority by name. he -- the vice president and the congressional democrats many of them scripted the israeli prime minister speech before congress in march. obama had much of the campaign team over in israel in recent elections, that included a couple nonfor profits raising millions of dollars while they're talking about how to work with the obama administration. their efforts were entirely focused on a turnout amongst the arab israeli vote. so the president decides that his plane needs to go in a different direction. the facts and the history tell a much different story . stuart: now, this david axlerod's interview is going to be broadcast a little bit later on today in israel. and that statement from
11:33 am
president obama is contained within that interview. do you think in some way this is an attempt to mend fences in israel? any attempt like that at all do you think? >> i think it's primary an attempt as far as domestic politics go to write a different story as far as exactly what the day light has looked like between the obama administration and the netanyahu administration. it is at the same exact point in time here we are in june june 2015, as part of the p5 plus 1 the president trying to close a deal with iran, that does nothing to the iran's state sportsmanship of terrorism, they're pledging to wipe israel off the map the list goes on and a whole lot of stuff that isn't even part of the negotiations. so as those negotiations go on with iran, looking although what the presidential elections coming up in 2016, i think the president is just trying to tell a different
11:34 am
story here at home primarily . stuart: historically democrats and president obama in particular have received somewhere in the region to 70 to 80% of the jewish vote in every single presidential election going back to decades now. the next election, 2016, bearing in mind america's relationship with israel, and obama's with netanyahu, do you think the democrats will still get 70% of the jewish vote? >> there's a zero percent chance that the democrats are going to get the same numbers that they've gotten in the past amongst the jewish voters. with all the developments in foreign policy, the growth of the bgs movement on college camps, the rising tied of anti-semitism in united states and arnold the world. but the foreign policy negotiating with iran, and the 18 miles away from the board in syria. and the fact that the democratic party has a growing

element amongst it. and there's a hearing focused on the palestinians going to the united nations to try to bring war crime charges against the israelis, and the committee was over half filled with code pink. you know, it's this base amongst the democratic party that it's just not trying to stand strong with our nation's strongest ally . stuart: i'm not trying to pin you down. but if the democrats do not get 70% of the jewish vote, will they get 50%? will they get 40%? i hate to ask you for a number, but can you give me an idea? >> so kind of need to know who is going to be the republican nominee, what issues they're focusing on, and what their outreach effort is like. the potential is there. they can get 40%, they can get 50% of the vote. i mean there's a possibility that the republican candidate for president is going to be able to get a majority of jewish voters in 2016.
11:36 am
it's a possibility. but, you know, still a year and a half between now and the election . stuart: yeah, but that would be a significant turn around in american politics. that's for sure. >> whatever the number is, it's going to -- certainly be a growth . stuart: congressman lee republican new york. thanks so much for coming on the program with such short notice. we appreciate you being here. >> thank you . stuart: check that big board please. markets not doing that much. we're down about 30 points, we had been down over 100. do you remember billionaire carl says a selloff is coming. it's just a question of when. apparently not today thus far. you never know. >> you never know . stuart: oil right now is closing in on $61 a barrel. the price of gasoline is $2.89. and senator elizabeth warren, she says chairwoman has been caught extremely

about 25 minutes . stuart: what? 25 minutes? that's it? >> that's right. yeah, from the time you place an order to the time it gets delivered to your store about an average of 25 minutes across our cities right now . stuart: now, i take it you've not been in business that long. how many deliveries do you make in san francisco how many a month? >> i think between our cities right now we're doing a little -- close to about 10,000 transactions a month. on we have, you know, hundreds of thousands of customers on our platform. we're doing thousands and thousands of deliveries every month. primarily between los angeles and san francisco. we just recently launched san diego and it's rambling quickly. but people like the service . stuart: okay. if it's a 20 -- no let's be realistic. it's a $30 bottle of scotch and you get it to me in 25 minutes, how much do you charge me to getting a $30 bottle to me in 25 minutes? >> so the way our model works
11:40 am
is we work with independent retailers throughout the city, we charge them a monthly fee depending on how much volume we're sending their way. so the pricing is about the same price as the store delivered to you . stuart: where do you get your piece? you get a piece from the retailer i guess? >> correct., yeah. stuart: how big a piece? [laughter] >> it depends on the retailer. it depends on how much volume we're sending them. but it can be substantial. we have retailers that we're representing almost 30, 35% of their bottom line now. we prefer to work with is fewer retailers and drive these small businesses but it's starting to become a very meaningful part of their income . stuart: okay. and it's a free app, saucy saucey,. >> i just want to know if you're coming to new york . stuart: yeah. >> of course we're coming to new york . stuart: when? >> this year's going to be a big year for us expanding. we'll probably be in new york in the later half of the year, we're also moving into texas and chicago and some other big

11:48 am
we can't do; right? stuart: you're bringing me to tiers. >> he's being humble. the reason is because of the roots and where you came from. >> that's right. stuart: no. no. no. i'll tell you examine where this matters. we're about him as if he's not here. because you can now attract high quality people and keep them in this time of bonus. so it's huge. >> yeah. i think that is obviously a secondary benefit. but there's better and smarter ways to do that than give away most of your own money. so it does literally come from a very spacial part of my background and that, you know when i grew up, i came from a very humble background. didn't have -- not a lot of money, but didn't have any money growing up. so i'm able to do what i'm doing today because of education. so i realize a lot of folks out there don't have that same opportunity and unless you're going to rely on the charity of kind of other charities out there or the charity of the government then you really don't have that opportunity ahead of you, so i didn't want

don't know . stuart: you don't know. >> i don't know. stuart: reno $500,000. what do i get? >> this is a better safer neighborhood. i don't want to offend people in these cities. but this is about the same. again, it's three bedroom two bath with a comparable size-wise and it's 2469 square feet. and it's basically the same thing. built in 2006. much much neuro. same price. it's got ceiling fans and a deck and storm windows garage patio tennis courts . stuart: so what's your choice. >> i would probably go with the -- because of the age of the st. louis building and also likely it's st. louis,. >> i would go with reno . stuart: reno or st. louis. >> i would pick my closet in new york city probably. but if i had to choose, i might go reno. golf, a lot of the box children can use that . stuart: i love older homes. i'll go with st. louis. . stuart: st. louis, st. louis reno. would you buy an electronic bike? they have them on the market
