other direction delivered by his defense secretary. we'll share with you. david: starbucks, you knew this was coming, passing on price of higher minimum wages to you the customer. we knew it was coming but not this soon. >> closing bell sounds on wall street. major averages ended the day you see the dow rose 97 points. [closing bell ringing]. rebounding from a 218-point drop. gold down, oil higher. a big turn around there, david. david: huge turn around. we'll talk to a trader at the cme about exactly what happened with oil. while markets wait for tomorrow here is everything you need to know right now. a one-month bandaid, greece's last-ditch hope. the new pitch as greece's prime minister showing up to the big eurozone meeting with no specific plans stunning financial ministers but now there may be some hope. >> listen to this, german
4:01 pm
chancellor angela merkel at the center of negotiations aimed at keeping greece in the e.u., that role not being taken lightly in germany. one of the country's leading tabloids labeling merkel as the iron chancellor. sound familiar. the name was given to margaret thatcher in the 1980s. david: president obama picked up phone speaking with merkel and greece's prime minister alexis tsipras encouraging all sides to negotiate. that seemed to have impact on the markets. our own ashley webster is on the ground with the very latest. ashley, we saw it in the markets. were the folks in greece aware of the phone call from the president to greek prime minister? >> reporter: not one bit at all, david. we have people coming up to us, what the heck is going on in brussels? have you heard anything? they continue to wait in line outside of banks as they get their 60 euros for the day.
4:02 pm
more and more they're just betting 50 euros. there is very real threat the banks will be running out of cash by the end of the week. you would think the greek leaders would be hustling a little bit more when they got to brussels today. no such thing. there may be an inkling of a deal but nothing yet. maybe tomorrow. we understand there could be a two to three-year deal, a proposal to basically buy some time for the greeks but i'm not sure the iron chancellor, angela merkel will go for it. that reference is basically the german saying, be tough, don't give in to greece. they have had two bailouts. if they get a third they have to come up with those terms. as you said even president obama got in on the act. white house press secretary josh earnest says everybody loses if greece falls out of the eurozone. >> all parties continue to acknowledge that it is in their collective and mutual interests for greece to remain part of the
4:03 pm
eurozone but the only way that we'll succeed in achieving that goal is for all of the parties to agree to a package of reforms and financing that puts greece back on a path toward economic growth and debt sustainability. >> reporter: no easy task and bear this in mind, greece's debt stands at $356 billion. that is, for every man, woman and child in greece, $32,000. that is how much they have received from the e.u. in their financial lifeline. and now they're asking for more. so it is not going to be easy. germany is certainly going to hold the line. we're now getting reports that they could indeed reconvene the emergency summit on sunday. isn't that just like the eurozone. when doubt, call another meeting. back to you guys. david: ashley i started to talking to you early this morning when i was on with maria. are you still on with another
4:04 pm
hit after this or are you going to bed? >> reporter: yes. no, more to go, david. more fun. david: the man who never sleeps from greece, ashley webster. that news out of greece driving a major turn around in the stock markets. here at home the dow seeing a 328-point swing. how is that for a roller-coaster ride? stocks ending up in positive territory being down as much as 218 points at the low. oil pushing higher in electronic trading after dropping below $51 a barrel since april. alan knuckman, bull's-eye's options standing by at the pits of the cme in chicago. alan what a wild day. it was noon eastern time we saw this turn-around. i noticed it first with a couple of energy stocks. i saw halliburton had turned positive. then conocophillips and a bunch of energy stocks. is that what really started this turn-around? >> i think that was a drag on the marketplace. what is interesting how the
4:05 pm
market came back yesterday even though we've seen energy stocks, energy itself, crude oil go down 15% in the last just few weeks. that was incredibly impressive turn around in the face of this weak energy but the market rebounding the way it did today, that is usually the sign after bottom. we want to see how it follows through here. it made new relative lows and closed positive. the vix did not make new highs even though the market may new lows. david: not only did it close positive, i noticed halliburton ended the day pretty much at its high for the day. it was up over 3%. that's a good sign for tomorrow, right? >> it could have been some short-covering. we need to see what kind of buyers step up. david: okay. >> you have to look at a lot of resource stocks. if you look at energy, look at metals, if you look at any of the resource stocks they have been crushed over the last few weeks. it is important they participate. it is very encouraging to see the broad markets bounce the way they did. this is typically how a bottom is made. now let's be aware s&p is positive for the week and
4:06 pm
positive for the year. so we've been through all this and we're still positive which is a very encouraging sign. david: barely but we're on the right side of that arrow. >> green. all we're looking for. david: that's right. we got it. alan, thank you. gerri? >> love that green. new and familiar warning from the imf, cautioning the fed once again that hiking interest rates too soon could stall the u.s. economy. the it mf says the fed should wait until it sees clear signs, clear signs of wage and price inflation. the federal reserve is expected to release minces june this afternoon. that i doesn't stand for international. it stands imperial. david: oh, i like that gerri. there is china. chinese stocks fall as the supporting steps to help the stock market. the central bank would lend from its own balance sheet to support stocks. some worry about conflicts interest. that is the government's most desperate move yet.
4:07 pm

4:08 pm
recruitment problem stems from the forces feeling they aren't going to win on the battlefield. listen here. >> general dempsey was training iraqi forces eight years ago. i visited him in iraq. that was his primary responsibility. we've been training them for nearly a decade. >> reporter: shortly after that white house press secretary acknowledged the 60 syrian-trained fighters clearly is not enough but josh earnest also added there are current challenges. >> we want to make sure individual who is go through that groups, for example. we want to make sure that the right individuals are going through that training program and setting up the program for vetting those individuals takes some time. >> reporter: on the hill during testimony carter also pointed to another number, 5000. he said there has been that many airstrikes against isis in both iraq and syria which president
4:09 pm
obama you might remember yesterday also mentioned as having been successful eliminating isis leaders and capabilities. so that the administration cites. gerri, david? >> not to impressive. thanks for that report. david: we have a panel coming up discussing that. meanwhile in politics senator marco rubio taking center stage outlined his domestic policy agenda. he called for tax reform and plan to deal with the student loan mess, as a way to usher in quote a new american century. the senator sat down and talked to our own neil cavuto and the conversation turned to none other than donald trump. neil. >> if marco rubio is concerned about constant attacks getting from donald trump he had a funny way of showing it earlier today, rubio said he is very much focused on anything but donald trump. >> do you think he is hurting the party? >> i think comments he has made, i think comments he has made not about the party, i think comments he has made allowed
4:10 pm
people that don't want to have debate or talk about illegal immigration to talk about the very serious debate on hand and that is this. we have a broken legal immigration system and we have illegal immigration problem that isn't just composed by the way of a porous border with mexico. >> bottom line he is continuing to stay focused on his own campaign despite a drop in the polls. rubio says it is still early. it is that, dave, very early. david: indeed it is. neil cavuto, thank you very much. what is interesting he didn't really attack head on the way that bush did attract trump. >> no. david: chris at this did as well. he was more subtle bit. disagreed with him but wasn't taking on. >> his whole demeanor is pretty calm. another day, another deadline, u.s. world powers pushing the date for a nuclear deal with iran again. one senior white house official saying it would be a tragedy if a good deal can't be achieved. we'll go live to vienna what is on the table now. david: hillary clinton widely

an adversary in a negotiation who has shown a decided unwillingness to make difficult decisions does repeatedly extending the deadline serve as disincentive to get the adser is vary make the decisions. the official called that way too simplistic adding incentives are not just ones on the table in a negotiation room. a time deadline may have less of an impact than what minister zarif has to face back home. maybe another member of the p5 plus one has an election and that is greater factor on their decision making. the official confirmed they will amend u.n. security council resolutions on sanctions on iran limiting ballistic missiles that could deliver warheads. they add important restrictions remain in place in terms of u.n. sanctions and unilateral sanctions on conventional arms and ballistic missile stockpiles. the treatment of the iran by the security council has been terrible to put it mildly the

a spokesman conferring euro summit on greece just ended. italian prime minister saying that all 28 e.u. leaders will attend sunday's summit, not just those from the eurozone. david: that should be a fun session. "friends with benefits." hillary clinton to give her first national tv interview since announcing her candidacy. cnn chief political correspondent scoring the interview. two weeks ago she attended wedding after prominent clinton aide. we have rich lowery "national review," fox news contributor and sheri jacobus from national strategies pr. nomi, just coincidence that the cnn reporter at the hillary event. >> this is part of hillary's m-o. whether journalist side or plethora banking connections of money that funds what she does
4:32 pm
and how her ideas are. no, definitely, definitely crafted this is part of how the, her team operates. david: well, now, rich lowery, the onus on this reporter, the cnn reporter to do her stuff and to focus on, for example, the emails. questions why there is a big gap of emails missing exactly when the benghazi committee wants to know about what is going on? do you think she will press the point? >> she would ask obvious questions and so embarrassing for her and cnn if she didn't. as interviewer the question is the follow-up and how tough you are on the follow-up and whether you don't let your interviewee get away with anything. the other reason this is a shrewd twist for clinton campaign this, reporter is covering the campaign. she doesn't want to blow up her relationship with the clinton campaign a year-and-a-half from the election. so she will ask the obvious questions, so she can say she was tough enough but will not
4:33 pm
nail her on anything. david: sherry, surprisingly, hillary may get tougher, tougher deal from some of her democratic opponents, particularly bernie sanders. he is collecting a lot of people now at these crowds. there was a crowd of seven thousand in event in maine in a town with only 50,000 residents. she is getting smaller crowds. let me play -- she spoke to bernie sanders earlier today. let's play the sound bite to get your response. >> look, you know, this is going to be competitive. it should be competitive. it is only the presidency of the united states we're talking about. so, you know, the more the better. let's get everybody out there. let's get everybody working hard, running their own campaigns and then we'll leave it up to iowa to decide what happens in february. david: sherry, a real threat? >> of course it's a real threat. what this has done, it smoked her out. since somebody from the left instead of somebody from the right, made her come out of hiding. that is why she is doing the interview with cnn in my view. she is forced to. briana is good reporter. i have no reason to think that
4:34 pm
she will be in the tank for hillary clinton, even though she does have personal relationships. reporters trade on relationships. it is competitive. they want to score the interview. david: sure. >> as rich said, it is follow up that, so i'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and i think a good interview would be one that the far right is upset and if the far left is upset for very different reasons, then people right of center, left of center, maybe it was okay. but i don't think -- >> anger everyone. >> any political reporter worth their salt is going to even want to let hillary clinton off the hook at this point. david: hope springs eternal but we shall see. nomi, sherry, thank you very much. rich, while we have you here, you had a recent release in powe lit toe. you said, sorry donald trump has a point. >> i wouldn't recommend anybody go out to talk about the issue the way he has but i think folks coming in from mexico it's a legitimate issue to look at their level of education
4:35 pm
especially. because these are not moral degenerates. they work hard but high school dropouts overwhelmingly. you come here, you can work hard have the education level you're still poor, you still end up on welfare. david: not necessarily of the most immigrants come to the united states, the people who come here are the exceptional people. not easy to pick up and leave your hometown, to leave your family behind to leave your language behind, go to a new place. that shows adventuresome almost entrepreneurial spirit. >> or desperation. and if you just look at the numbers, mexican immigrants, the highest in terms of all the sort of things you wouldn't want -- david: compare them to korea, for example. which is a good point, because the koreans who come here, they have to do the same desperation to come here to leave their homeland as mexicans but they have much higher education. >> 60% have a college degree where mexican immigrants only 5% do. i don't blame mexicans for wanting to come here when they're in desperate
4:36 pm
circumstances but our imperative as a country should be crafting immigration policy makes sense for us. which means emphasizing education and skills. we don't do that right now. david: a little move for donald trump to explain, wasn't it. in one setting. >> we just did it in about three minutes. david: we did but he is used to smaller sound bites we are even. rich lowery, good to see you my friend. >> thanks, david. david: irs, gerri has new to make. gerri: that's right. they're imposing new rules that could make it harder for you to afford health care. agency penalizing small employer who offer reimbursement accounts to employees. the penalties, get this, could be high as $100 a day per employee or $36,500 a year per employee. congress getting involved. kevin kuhlmann, legislative director for national federation of independent businesses. explain these accounts to viewers. they may not be familiar with
4:37 pm
them. employers can put machine nye a into them. this is where employees get this gratis. how does it work. >> thank you, gerri. employers don't offer expensive group coverage but afford health insurance will give tax-free distributions for the employees to purchase individual insurance. no joke, the irs says no longer can you do this. gerri: i tell you. that is the thing that confounds me most. employers doing right thing by employees, helping them out. how cot irs possibly object? >> well. that is a tough decision for me to say. i think they took a look at some of the nuanced obamacare restrictions and regulations and says, well, this doesn't comply with the kind of one size fits all design. therefore it can no longer exist. gerri: wow. okay. according to some folks i talked to it is a philosophical difference the irs is playing out here. they want everybody to be in obamacare basically.
4:38 pm
what are your members telling you at the national federation of independent businesses? what do they say? >> well our small business owner members, we have 350,000 of them nationwide, many of whom were not able to afford the high cost of group health insurance coverage. they said, look, we didn't want to go all-in. we didn't want to throw our employees on their own. so instead we offered this middle road where we gave them some tax-free money. they purchased coverage on their own. irs taking away our ability to do is really going to put us a the a disadvantage and employees at a disadvantage as well. gerri: i have to tell you it is confounding. the federal government killing, smashing a solution that small business operators found to a big problem. i want you to hair what congressman charles boustany had to say today. he is talking about the legislation he and others are putting forward in congress, he says using health care reimbursement arrangements is creative approach that allows employees to select health care plans best tailored to fit their needs. our common sense bipartisan
4:39 pm
legislation frees employers to provide their employees with options that put individuals in charge. kevin, is this legislation, is it going to pass? >> well, as you know on capitol hill there is not a lot of agreement on health care and health insurance issues but there is good news on this one. and there is in both the house and senate the small business health care relief act. we're optimistic calling for congress to act on this quickly. we're, with our members help we'll push and hope they do that very soon. gerri: kevin, thank you for that. >> thank you. david: gerri, we have some breaking news. german chancellor angela merkel speaking live. she says she expects the greek prime minister, alexis tsipras, to submit a proposal as soon as tomorrow. she says then creditors will study it to determine if it is sufficient to open talks again. also a spokesman is confirming the euro summit on greece has just ended. it's a little before midnight there. italian prime minister

david: mike baker former cia covert operations officer and nomi and rich are back as well. mike, four years, hundreds of millions of dollars spent in this program. we have 60 fighters. what's up with that? >> i guess we basically hit about not quite 1% of our target in terms of training. and, in terms of costs, we've spent spent over a billion dollars, a billion dollars. david: on 60 fighters? haven't done the math. but probably hundreds of thousands of dollars per fighter. >> this was an incredible event. the president meeting with the pentagon advisors and coming out to give this speech because he knew he had to try to do some damage control and be seen as getting ahead of the curve. there is no strategy involved. we haven't had a strategy for some time. look, the sad reality is we know

this after a decade trying to train iraqi troops and trying to get other countries into this effort, the sad truth without us, the u.s. re-engaging on the ground, we will not defeat the islamic state. as much as we'd like to think that some limited effort will do so. and the problem is, we have no political will to do that. who wants to do that? david: but, nomi, the fact is what ashton carter says, we have to trust the defense secretary to know his business about, i think direct contradiction to what the president was trying to lead us to believe that we have an action plan. >> well, when the whole plan was initially more funding was provided last september, another $500 million into those numbers, the idea was that the syrian moderate group would somehow be on the side of the u.s. because they are against isis, we're against isis but they're also against president al-asad. the idea they would stop that fight to be on our side and be recruited into the u.s. fight against isis.

that was illogical to begin with. it was illogical then. these numbers indicate it continues to be illogical. david: after four years. >> the strategy doesn't make sense. david: after four years. rich, there is another thing going on here. that is the electorate of the united states clearly seems to be against any kind of boots on the ground. on the other hand, the gop republican caucus voters, 72% according to "quinnepiac poll" are in favor of supporting more boots on the ground, both in syria and iraq. what do you make of that? >> amazing finding, isn't it? i really think, not just true of the republican party but american public generally, there was a shift in the james foley beheading video, when you really saw the kind of dovish turn in public opinion nationally and among republicans change. and the person who should be looking at this finding and most worried about it is rand paul because this shows that his foreign policy views are really out of step with the rest of the republican party.
4:47 pm
david: or gop caucus members are out of step, i'm wondering? maybe the gop is out of step with the general electorate? >> among the general electorate, polls showing 50% of the people favoring boots on the ground. i agree with mike you will need american ground element to make this thing work. we focus on that the exclusion of the main question. first you need a strategy. then you need resources to support the strategy and someone to actually implement it. david: last word by rich, gentlemen, lady, thank you very much. appreciate it. gerri? gerri: more breaking news out of europe now, german chancellor angela merkel speaking live from brussels, she is reiterating that greece has inyet submit ad proposal that warrants restarting talks. she expects the greek prime minister, alexis tsipras to submit a proposal tomorrow. also important to note merkel is indicating she is open to a deal that would fund greece in the short-term. she is saying any proposal from greece would have to do even more in the way of reforms than what creditors demanded before
