good at protecting on to the other side the thing themselves and guilty of. stuart: strong vix opinions expressed on "varney and company," monica crowley in our last hour. mike heinen almost got. 10 seconds to go. look who is here, neil cavuto. neil: you are asking like i have something to go -- stuart: really? stuart: always trying to give you 10 seconds of air time. and you don't want it don't take it. neil: fine. your british attitude. thank you very much, stuart varney. we are saying thank you very much for second quarter gdp report that as people were believed we are picking up steam but in the scheme of things are we really? 2.3% is the growth rate we experienced. without getting too are keen they did revise the first quarter to a gain of 0.6% but step back from this unrealized for the first half of the year

we're looking at 1.5% growth. that is better than no growth but still not typical recovery growth which is what worries greg smith. you have been looking at this for a long time. it is the strength of this recovery that concerns you. it is still percolating along but not robustly. what you worried about? >> it is percolating, you stole my thunder, you average two quarters out. neil: of i don't connell mcshane will come up with the chart. >> if you go back to 2012-2013 the commerce department this 2% growth rate seems to be the norm. the lowest since any recovery since the second world war and here is what concerns me. fiscal policy is not working.

wind will jack lew and penny said down and say this policy is not working, we need to change course? the fed policies zero interest rates, not working. neil: we are not back to the rates, we're certainly back of the maps and why don't cynics like craig realize that? >> they are wrong. there is so much malloy investment going on now as a result of zero rate interest policy that you are going to see those, excuse the oppression, chickens come home to roost just like we did when we did the sub prime mortgages. and creating distortions in the market is what my concern is. if we continue to grow at this lackluster pace and that growth is predicated on part-time workers and very low labour participation and physical maladies and tax problems, you

are not going to see businesses have the confidence to make the investments necessary to grow this economy. look at the fact -- neil: next you taking care of that. >> look at the bass -- the back end of the yield curve. is rallying, they see slower growth in the future and to quote a great do from new york, we are the tallest midget in the room but we should be the largest superpower economically throughout the globe. just because we have a big economy doesn't mean we are the big guys on the block. we need to get our fiscal house in order. social spending went from 15.5% in 2005 to 19.2% last year and growing. neil: on that note, we are joining the former co-chair of

the debt commission who is worried about that but great seeing you thank you very much. we pre-empted connell mcshane and melissa frances, defending his chart, to show a lot of charts, to show the fact that there is this connection between what is happening in the economy and on the market level. neil: connell: did something horrible happen to you with a chart attached? neil: seizing the charts was this traded in the market. >> you were ugly to him yesterday. he made those charge himself had his needles out. neil: i want to replay melissa getting whiny yesterday. take a listen. connell: q e stopped in october. since then look at this, flat stock markets and that could be one of the bigger stories at the end of the year when this policy

does change. >> will wake up! connell: don't make me come over there. neil: what is wrong with that? connell: what is right with it? sit back and melissa. melissa: my 5-year-old sun comes out of the beautiful drying and you fall asleep. that is what it reminds me of. he is working so hard. neil: okay, got a little chart. connell: it's -- melissa: won't stumbled down here after that reception. that was just mean-spirited. neil: can we start something else? you heard what this fellow was saying, this can't go on and we are seeing in this parallel graph universe with home prices hitting their peak, with

activity, retail sales, interest rates may be going the other way, it is all over. melissa: and economy built on nothing, what he is saying, that is true. when you look at the gdp number we just got, look at jobs numbers and that doesn't tell you how many jobs were added, two part time jobs held by the same person. you look at people out there, there is no real attraction, no pricing power, the fed can't get inflation going but that is a worrisome fine. we are celebrating this 2% growth. >> you are the fox weiner for sure. >> the stock market more than

the economy. i am done defending it. the economic data we have today confirmed that to some extent, we're celebrating and 2.3%. and we won't raise interest rates, >> they have made no other choice, and a wary some, they raise rates, the risk e-mail lynn, i don't have a job, at one grammy party. >> height in rates. it is a distinct repair in the fall imagine the stock exchange. an instant read on how they are dealing with this. connell: see what they think of you. neil: hey, guys.

thank you both. thank you both very much. melissa: don't pick on him again or i will be back. neil: let's not go into tweets. very good stuff. in the meantime the house has wrapped things up before the august recess, the senate has not been a number of issues to take up before they check out of town. a republican from south dakota what they're up to the km the funding measure. where does that stand. certainly has the majority vote but no matter what you do, the president would veto it. where does this stand now? >> we will have a vote on it next week and we think that is important. we have a lot of members who care deeply about this issue, have been incredibly offended by the videos that have come out and i credit senators joni ernst and deborah fischer who are

members of the republican conference, it ensures funding will be in place for women's health services, cancer screenings and std testing and pre and postnatal care, to continue to be funded through community health centers and other providers and planned parenthood. the premise is taxpayer funds should not go toward supporting feel organ harvesting which is what planned parenthood is doing and that is what the vote next week will be about. we will have that vote in the senate and we will see where the votes are. neil: when you are on the left, not all on the left, i should stress, this was all sort of a hatchet job on planned parenthood and it was the call meant to get the response it did, it like -- meant to entrap people? >> that is the distraction. you got to look at the substance

it is incredibly gruesome and chilling and any normal person would be deeply offended by this. the left is obviously going to defend it and attack the messenger which is their typical strategy. if you look at what is going on and what the organization and doctors leading this organization and the way they are describing this show is an incredibly callous disregard for human life and i don't think it is something taxpayer funds ought to support. we shouldn't be supporting an organization doing these types of things, and a callous disregard for life. neil: another measure, infrastructure measure, it would be a piecemeal measure to keep infrastructure spending going or the money necessary to keep it going for a few months but part of it is to go ahead and attacks overseas profits from abroad from companies to get the money

back here but also tax it for this purpose but democrats are saying they want higher gasoline taxes. where are you on this? >> we were able in the senate to pass, head over the vote in a moment, a three year multi-year highway built funded without a gas tax increase and we think it is important to have a multi-year bill, doing this in six months, in one year increments which creates a lot of uncertainty and makes it difficult for department of transportation and those involved in building roads and bridges to move forward. we did it that way. the house has ideas how to do that. democrats want to spend not just more on highways but lots of other things. my concern, when you're trying to make deals with democrats when it comes to taxes that they are going to want more revenue and more spending and ultimately you are never going to satisfy them and i hope the house of representatives as they move through the process of coming up

with a multi-year highway bill does it in a way that doesn't lead to higher taxes and higher spending and i am quite certain they will do that but we will work out differences between the house and senate. hope they put a bill that is a multi-year bill that doesn't have a tax increase associated with it. neil: you are one of the few republicans not running for president of the united states. trump said this and chris christie said this. marco rubio said this. it turned into a vicious food fight and some are concerned it will hurt them. >> it is early on. right now there is a lot of attention being paid but it is being paid by the people who follow politics closely. the average person out there in the country when they start paying attention and scrutinizing candidates have to look at their positions, and the issues and that will make the picture a lot more clear. in the debate next week, fox

news will be hosting we will start that process and you will see the american people zero in on those candidates facing can go the distance. neil: what if it is donald trump to goes the distance? the political establishment hasn't seen that. >> i think he is tapping into a lot of economic angst around the country, a populist feeling across the country that things washington isn't listening and he is tapping into that sentiment. a lot of our candidates will tap into that sentiment but in this end it is going to come down to where these individual candidates stand on the issues because most republican voters when push comes to shove will say who believes in the things i believe in? who will be an advocate for the issues i think are important to the future of this country gq who speaks to those? he is touching a nerve out there, touching a chord, the ability to go the difference remains to be seen but we have a

number of candidates in the field will make a compelling about why they need to lead the country in a different direction. neil: always good seeing you. taking a and look at what is going on in the markets, the dow is silent down 15 points, the nasdaq where a lot of stuff is happening, including all these online guys who seem to be off line even when the report numbers that appear initially to be the street estimates whether talking about twitter or facebook it is the guidance and all the other stuff piling up to drive them down. what is up with that? after this.

neil: want to take you to the senate floor. the house is done for recess, there might be others issues including of a highway bill here, this is the long-term highway bill, the short term one takes into account robbing peter to pay paul to keep the highway department funded for another few months but democrats want to get tax hikes, republicans have an alternative plan, companies keep overseas and taxing than a little bit to pay the $70 billion to ebullient dollars that would be required to fund the latest effort to fix roads and bridges that setter. here is the thing, they are attaching all sorts of stuff including renewed funding for the export-import bank and what normally happens, they threw a lot of things together.

nothing happens. and 4 facebook, and they were jarred from a buy something they don't often see. a bit of a sell-off. jo lin kent on why that is. >> facebook earnings beat expectations with revenue jumping 40% to $4 billion, earnings beat the st. to $0.50. mobile ad revenue good news driving sales making up 76% of total ad revenue for the second quarter up 62% year over year, monthly active users. it was 4.4 billion people and using facebook and most locking in on their mobile device, stock has been trading lower. spending shot up 82%, facebook expects that will affect future revenue growth slowing down, mark zuckerberg is putting lot of cash in a new data center,

and he continues to say you wants to invest even more money in virtual reality and artificial intelligence. there were a conference call last night that virtual reality is going to pay off eventually. remember oculus? facebook bought that last year and when they finally start selling a head set next year, you going to buy when? neil: no. it is dolby and looks stupid. i don't know why anyone thinks walking around like a bumble bee will be a moneymaker. >> you can't judge a book by its cover. i think they are pretty fun. neil: look at this. okay. your generation is lost. thank you very much. social media stocks are a good bet in this, standing around oculus and all this. >> have you put one on? neil: it is dopey, shut up.

i wonder -- >> the movie theaters and other world. neil: you are right. that is me. i am looking at this saying not is if these companies didn't report good numbers but maybe they get ahead of themselves. >> a sophisticated investors as i am in it for the long haul, not expecting earnings, expecting growth and you have something like mark zuckerberg leading facebook who stays disciplined, stays down to his fundamental message of connecting with family and friends, and this head set about to come out, one of facebook's hard core products but don't look for that to be the answer to a giant revenue stream for the company. the fact is facebook is all about monetizing engagement with people and they got their sights set down the road. they already got 1.5 billion

people right there and they will say what do we do with these eyeballs? we want money from them and advertisers are willing to reach an interesting ways and the very head set you don't want to put on is one way an advertiser will engage with somebody in the most profound unique way that is very valuable to advertiser. neil: they don't bump into each other because you can see with these things. >> you don't bump into one another, is about sitting down and enjoying. we won't walk around with these things. neil: thank you very much. very good seeing you again. another protest going on. you heard about hedge funds and they have at stake in every action. these are what we call hedge fund clippers and they are ready to clip the right out of all of these actions.

neil: everytime i see something weird in washington and can't figure out why they're doing and i get to know my betty, local encyclopedia who knows what is going on. it seems to me like a little bit of could be the theater. they are renting a lot of stuff into one but what is it? >> voting on a long-term, six your highway bill which includes an extension of the export/import bank. they pass an interim bill in the next couple hours which will all lead a shutdown of a highway programs at the end of the week, in real trouble if they don't do that at the end of the week, approving the short-term bill for three months, why is the senate forging ahead on the broader bill? looking for a long term bill at some point? house speaker john boehner has said we are going to work on getting a longer term bill, the senate wants to make its

position known. they adjourned for the august recess yesterday, no way they could entertain this bill. kevin mccarthy the majority leader 1,000 pages, too long to go through this in a short time, we won't touched this. a lot of house members including democrats, steady lawyer indicated he was not keen on this piece of legislation but regardless come september and october paul ryan of the hairs and -- ways and means committee. they will come up with their version for a long term bill and house and senate get together in a conference committee where they blend these bills together and get at final product for several years. neil: thank you, appreciate it. the business about a protest group in midtown new york, they are mad about something. before you start thinking this is a right or left wing group keep in mind by partisan

attacks, they went after andrew cuomo cozying up to his big wall street donors and resisting, to forgive a lot of puerto rican debt n they are going after chris christie in new jersey saying a lot of hedge funds were investing pension money in the state and doing a pathetic job at it. they attack with equal lee any and all, but their focus is on hedge funds. they call themselves hedge fund clippers. jonathan weston with us right now. good to have you. and and the state relied heavily on pension money through hedge funds. >> we have seen governor christie give a lot, millions and millions in pension money,

their funding is a campaign for president. all those hedge funds are not managing the money well enough to be profitable for everyday people who have everyday pensions invested in them. they charge high fees and produce lower returns, no reason to be investing pension money across -- >> they don't want hedge funds in this business. by and large they have until they got better returns but your argument has been with the kind of roughly comparable returns to other investment vehicles. why should states pay those fees? >> the return of we have seen are not even producing the same level as index funds work everyday stock market.

what we continue to believe is there a bad investment. what they do in terms of how poorly in they perform but all the other things they are doing in extracurricular activities whether it is driving austerity measures in pr or attacking -- neil: what do you do in pr? andrew cuomo in new york cozying up to wall street buddies or not going for this talk of forgiving these border region, $72 billion in debt. and don't do that, and for giving their debt, where will the money come from? >> let's be clear. what this is about is billionaire edge fund managers looking to make boat loads of money preying on everyday people in puerto rico. neil: say you took them out of the equation, hedge fund out of the equation, traditional

capital guys agree with you. if you find a way to allow puerto ricans to be exonerated what next? a lot of states and municipalities in the same boat. >> is impossible to take hedge funds out of the equation when they own a huge percentage of the desk in puerto rico. we did the same thing in wall street, we bail out wall street, everyday citizens in this country took on their debt. it is -- neil: raise a good point. you raise a very good point. these bank bailout started on this very show under president bush because it would lead to a slippery slope and lead to requests and demands for the balance and that is what is happening now but you argue about helping 4 million people. what if there are other states,

other areas? did that get us into this? >> countries across the world. they call them vulture funds for a reason. and pr. they are taking it out -- neil: hedge funds, the source of all easements. rice >> hedge funds are the ones coming in, we want our money back without actually trying to negotiate, reasonable for the puerto rican people so they can get out of this crisis. puerto rico going into deep depression. neil: good having you. and we will see how this goes. you probably heard donald trump is in tr them in the corner right now.

>> this is a diplomatic masterpiece that they stayed at the table and came to the conclusion that they did. neil: and i was worried about that iranian deal. turns out it's a diplomatic

masterpiece. i think joe lieberman might disagree. he thinks there will be a travesty if it comes to pass and he fears that just might. he will be joining us in the next hour joe lieberman among many democrats who do not share nancy pelosi's views. we want to focus in the meantime on donald trump in the latest thing they tried to get him on what the stats he said about john mccain not being a hero and earlier stuff about mexican and all of that. now they are trying to say you know in the past he has supported democrats. donald trump united said yeah, i did. it was for business and about business and move on. rebecca berg ought not and whether that hurts them or not. what do you think? reporter: well, the team we are seen time and again is that none of these attacks, none of his missteps stick to him. he is like teflon if a candidate

could be teflon. it is kind of amazing. the reason we see him being able to recover and search inside of them in these we've seen is people put him in entirely different category from other politicians. they view him as someone has a businessman not a politician and a lake is telling the truth even if sometimes the truth telling might seem relatively unflattering. neil: in the cnn interview he admitted to exaggerating a little bit. the one thing i did take away come and say what you will is doing well in the polls. a lot of this teflon ability is to avoid getting stuck with any of this. he doesn't dial anything back. he doesn't say he did something wrong. he is confident enough to say this is what i believe.

you might not like what i'm saying that this is a common deal with it. >> that is part of his appeal, frankly and the other candidates can't believe he can say anything and none of it is problematic. neil: on the left and right politicians have a long history of being a little of the cleocin having it both ways. the long-term elixir to him are the key to success that the appeal seems to be he is not just of their petri dish. >> cicely. this is the persona he is working hard to project in this debate. i would imagine this coming week. this is donald trump at its purest spirit i talked to people in this campaign and it's funny hearing them talk about how they try to manage donald trump. they can get him talking points and tell him this is a message that would be really good. donald trump will say whatever donald trump wants to say. there is no managing him.

>> i appreciate that. speaking of difficult to manage. charlie gasparino is here. talk about a guy who speaks his mind. fortunately not running for president of the united states yet. donald trump's net worth is that what he says. it is significantly less. >> ford says four and a half. this is always in the 90s when he would only answer for and say you were not saying that while to when others to move it down. >> here's the thing. we should put it in context. donald trump in 1992 a "new york times" story when he was having his divorce. his net worth was essentially zero at the time. he was broke. his real estate properties were intact and he backed that up.

he made $3 billion in 25 years. he's a really smart guy. >> you could be a single billionaire. >> this is what i love about donald his insane resiliency. he was down and now his way up. if you look at financial disclosures, he doesn't have a lot of debt. this guy makes a lot of money without a lot of debt. neil: he's argued bloomberg is wrong. then he said of the young guy who did this story, you know that guy doesn't have any idea what i own, doesn't have a clue. >> what is he going to say about me? neil: you know i'm telling you the same story we are discussing with the last gasp. >> she made a good point that this is -- it is what it is.

i will say this. he's an impossible guide to manage. it will hurt them in the long run. i don't think it matters how much he's worth. he's a billionaire. donald trump has an bot one hand. he won't. he's got 25% of the vote. this shows you what it really a marketing man he really is. how much money has he raised? maybe some donate to them. neil: even if a big chunk was in a savings account. >> in a stock holdings he did okay. this is a big grin. one other thing why he gives to republicans and democrats. don't hit alumni. neil: always good seeing you.

neil: i want to take you to the floor of the senate where they did pass this infrastructure bill along with funding for the export import bank. it's not going anywhere but it's loaded with enough things that democrats are already time the president don't go for this. the number of democrats in the fact of the matter departed the infrastructure bill does not include a gas tax which is long, long overdue. furthermore trying to do a carrot and stick approach with

money from overseas. companies hold overseas to pay for this. too early to say republican senator rob portman no-space details far better than i. senator, that is to read on this said if this passes it doesn't go much further. >> we will see. we have a few months to come up with other ways to pay for necessary infrastructure because we have roads and bridges crumbling. neil: would you be open to a hayek had in taxes? >> we have some of those profits come back and infused the trust fund. something you and i talked about a lot. our code is so outdated with everything else going on around the world that is driving jobs and investment overseas. if we could change the code to bring back to $2 trillion locked

up overseas we could use some of the revenue for the highway trust fund. that's a better solution. neil: i'd be remiss if i didn't mention the array and deal seen as a diplomatic masterpiece. what did you make of that? >> yeah, look, it is historic not in a good way. i have deep concerns about it and frankly some of us to lay out our concerns early on did so with the understanding the administration did take more progress with regard to simple things like monitoring and enforcement anytime anywhere and it's just not what happened. i don't think it is something people should call a masterpiece. instead you should say it is historic because it does allow iran to do something they haven't been allowed to do before. it also gives them a lot of money. the roughly $120 billion is a lot of money for the number one

state sponsor of terrorism to use against our interests and our allies. neil: you don't have the vote to override the deal at this point. >> we probably don't although it's possible. as i talked to democrats, they too have concerns. probably you would need 13 to override a presidential veto. neil: senator, always good seeing you. leon cooperman billionaire investor who made good on the rich and how the rich are getting hit on again and again. he mentioned something very interesting. when you keep hitting the rich what you are doing is hitting everyone else. a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit?

for you. >> i'm not the one. thank you again. neil: those are the breaks, my friend. >> exactly. get a chart together. neil: thank you very much. connell, i don't have any entitlement mcshane. bernie sanders said we should be expanding medicare and aggressively so because that is at the heart of a lot of this nation's problems and underfunded folks with health and related ailments. he says just expand it. a debt watcher hears that and says worst possible thing you can do. why, sally? >> hello. neil: hello. what do you think of this? bernie sanders says don't scale back on this stuff, double down on it. we need more. >> of course bernie sanders is a huge propope -- pro.meant of will run on that. i'm canadian. i grew up long waiting lists rationed care, and it is expensive. we don't want to do this i hope the american people do not

listen to bernie sanders and his rhetoric. neil: the fact of the matter is on the right and the left there has been reluctance to really cut to the core of the problem and address these entitlements. someone like chris christie in this country comes out with the vaguest of plans to rein in social security. raise the retirement age. make some benefits means-tested. he never offers exact specifics but just those headlines were enough to get some nasty town hall meetings for him. but where is the bravery on this issue? >> well i think i've been strong opponent on medicare and medicaid, they are 50 years old, voucherrizing them. medicare block grant the states. let the states control how they spend their medicaid dollars. medicare, program for seniors is different situation. we need to raise eligibility age. we need to provide seniors with vouchers based on age. more wealthy you are, say, warren buffett, you don't need you don't even need a voucher. you can take care of your own

health care. medicare should be there for those seniors -- neil: sally, i know you heard this many, many times, people move. this is very transient society. we move back and forth so whatever you're getting in one state changes in another state. very confusing for folks. what do you say? >> issue after the king v. burwell decision on ball kiar, the supreme court decision the president has been roaming around to the states those 20 states that didn't expand their medicaid programs trying to get them to signed up. i think he really is hoping all the states will sign up for medicaid expansion under obamacare. then states will not have money to fund it. he will say, i think federal government take over medicaid just like medicare. that is what bernie sanders would want. we need to repeal and replace obamacare to have people be in charge of their health care, not the federal government. neil: how is that health system working for canadians.

does it do the job and you say no. >> average wait for can madans to primary care doctor to specialist is 18 weeks. that is four months. canadian people don't like it. the docs that city the study program is not working. entitlement programs are so hard to get rid of. it very rarely works. neil: right about that on the right or left. salary, thank you very much. very interesting perspective. we have problems on the hand. mathematical problem. not right or left from conservative or liberal problem. alan simpson joining us on the phone says both parties better wake up to this problem. this is the latest case of this, on the 50th anniversary of medicare, medicaid. it has done a lot of good as you said, senator, but the fact of the matter it carry as good price tag. >> i'm up here in the woods. anyway, my father was in the senate when they were messing around or he was running and i remember that hubert humphrey got up in the debate said, if

this thing costs over a billion dollars in five years i will eat the statute book an one guy jumped up, if he does he will have more law in his gut than he does in his head. that's not true. it is terrible, what you just described, it is math. it is simple math. 10,000 a day turning 65, take care of a three-year-old with a preexisting condition lives till 60. got to do asking with providers. got to do something with lawyers. got to do something with doctors. got to do something with pharma. for god's sake a guy at your station get as heart operation and doesn't get a bill. who is kidding who? neil: a lot of people look at cost of this. i'm looking at affordable care act many fine people like preexisting conditions, keeping your kids on policy longer what you said at time to assume wouldn't be higher bill for that is at best naive. we're looking a at higher bill.

are we looking at medicare medicaid examples much as people -- i know what do you do? >> like paul revere wandering out through the villages this business, and i heard the young lady speak, let me just say there is political reality here which is so vivid. okay you would like to get rid of obamacare. you can't get rid of it, even if you passed it in both houses because you never get his veto overridden f your horse drops dead, it is better to get off. neil: i'm following through the analogy. kind of left me. as long as he is president this thing isn't going away. i don't think it is ever going away, senator. i don't know how you file. certainly another 18 months, already fairly entrenched, getting more so. what do republicans do? when it comes to addressing entitlements what do you make this effective. >> come up with something, instead of repealing this, a no here, no there, that won't get republican anyways.

put something together, cobble something up. this is republican alternative for anything that comes up. immigration, climate, whatever. whatever, do an alternative instead of being the party of no. neil: when they come up with alternatives the president comes back and says we already got something that is time tested and supreme court multiple votes, multiple rulings, shut up. >> sure. supreme court will be in the game forever because the congress won't do a lick. if anybody can't figure out what is happening when the the con won't deal with heavy issues of the day, groups all over america in the worm wood, start up district court. go to the appeal and get it to the supreme court and make the decision. you won't like it when i ever side it is on. neil: alan, by my math you alienated 17 different social groups in this interview. touche. good having you. >> always fun. come up here i will cook you some flap jacks. neil: can't wait. don't do it in the villages because you're not exactly a hero there. alan simpson.

calls it like it is. another guy calls it like it is. i want him to respond this nancy pelosi. >> this is a diplomatic masterpiece that they stayed at the table and came to the conclusion that they did. neil: all right. joe lieberman probably missed the first part of that. but, joe, senator, what she was saying this iranian measure is diplomatic masterpiece, historic at that what do you say? >> yeah. well, i'm afraid if it's not stopped by congress it will be historic but it is not a masterpiece. i fear has much more risk in it for the united states, much more reward for iran then they deserve. it basically clears the path for iran to become a nuclear power which is not what all of us who voted for economic sanctions on iran wanted. the whole idea was you would only pull the economic sanctions off if iran stopped its nuclear

weapons development. neil: john kerry says alternative is a unicorn i'm paraphrasing, as the president saying there is no factual argument you can use against this things. what do you think? >> i can't resist saying in response to the unicorn metaphor, nobody oppose toed the deal is looking for a unicorn, we're looking for a strong horse, a real horse. this horse, this unicorn will take us over the edge into i think a cat chrisic range because they are going to become a nuclear power. they will create a nuclear arms race in the middle east. the sanctions are totally lifted. they will get billions and billions of dollars, one to strengthen fanatics to who run the government in tehran and two to support the terrorists. neil: they already said they would support, they are not lying about it. >> the amazing thing since the agreement, july 14th, i would have thought the ayatollah, the foreign minister rouhani would have gone quiet.

they have doubled down in their fanaticism. they still shout death to america. how can you make a deal you can trust with country that says it wants to kill you? neil: since this passed in the united nations security council that they will get money from those other members who passed it and it might be a moot point your old friends say? >> they may well figure that but the congress of the united states has the authority over the constitution. also the united states remains the strongest economic power in the world. even if the other countries stop the sanctions and u.s. doesn't because, congress has the guts to say no, our banking sanctions, our sanctions on their oil, still are in effect. so bottom line, what does it mean? that businesses around the world are going to have to decide do i want to do business with iran or do i want to have access to the american economy and particularly the american banking system? and that is still the choice. neil: i wonder if it is too late for that? last time you were here you

thought it would be uphill fight for 67 votes to override. i think it is beyond that i think this thing goes through. the president survives but the argument i heard lately, for support going through, if we vote against it, we send mixed messages to the world, because the collective world in the security council i think they're saying has already voted to let this thing go through? >> that is not fair. we're a sovereign country. and secretary kerry negotiated an agreement. congress has to decide whether to approve it or not. that is what our constitution and the law calls for. neil: before you -- you're a fair arbiter here, when you talk to old democratic friends, nancy pelosi clearly no subtle way trying to tell them this is a masterpiece, let's keep this going. that might extend to your old buddy chuck schumer and senate what do you think? what is pulling at these guys? >> so i would say the longer time passes from what the agreement was made the worse the agreement looks, and that's true not only for members of congress

that i'm talking to, i'm specifically talking to democrats who are undecided but for the american public. the last two major polls on this had increasing opposition to the iranian nuclear agreement. neil: senator, and, i think time is the worst thing opponents of this have on their hands because people are steeped in august. august summer mind-set. they're thinking about other stuff. this looks like a deal, better than no deal. they're hearing all of this other stuff that could happen. but they're just not that into it. >> whether they're into it or not i think time helps the opponents. neil: you do? >> yeah. i was glad when they didn't get the agreement done in time to get it to congress for 30-day window. there is 60 days now. there is tremendous organization of the opposition to this agreement and what it means to the united states and to our allies like israel and the arab countries in the middle east. if you asked me today is it hard

to get to 2/3 -- let me say i'm increasingly confident a resolution of disapproval will pass both house of congress. that in itself is significant because the president and the secretary are out on their own. but then -- neil: still a deal? >> then the president vetoes it. can we get to 2/3? i believe -- i do. and notwithstanding my respect for leader pelosi, we have not yet heard from chuck schumer and we have not heard from the current democratic leader in the senate harry reid. and there, in my opinion, both at least open-minded. neil: all right. we will watch very closely. senator, good seeing you. joe lieberman. meantime want to look what is happening right now on the hill because even though the senate is still working and voighting on measures the house is gone but not before there was a threat to topple the speaker of the house and kick him out of there. one guy and speaker boehner more or less said, like, yeah whatever. he didn't say that.

that's me saying, yeah whatever. but the gist was this. speaker boehner doesn't think he has anything to worry about. i want you to meet a guy that says you know, not so fast. after this. so you're a small business expert from at&t? yeah, give me a problem and i've got the solution. well, we have 30 years of customer records. our cloud can keep them safe and accessible anywhere. my drivers don't have time to fill out forms. tablets. keep them all digital. we're looking to double our deliveries. our fleet apps will find the fastest route. oh, and your boysenberyy apple scones smell about done. ahh, you're good. i like to bake. with at&t get up to $400 dollars in total savings on tools to manage your business.

>> we have a member here and a member there who are off the reservation. no big deal. neil: all right. now what the speaker is referring to one congressman maybe more out there, who want to get rid of him. they say that he has torpedoed their hopes of getting spending under control and cracking down on business as usual deals. freedomworks ceo adam brandon says there is a much bigger push to this than speaker boehner thinks. explain, adam. >> well the first thing i would like to say i got to commend congressman meadows for stepping

up because it's a hard thing to do to go against your own leadership or your own speaker. neil: he had nothing to lose adam, think about it. he was sidelined on chairman chaffetz not going along on prior measure. he had experience getting shoved into the broom closet. we helped get him out when we brought it to people's attention. he figures they already hate me, already isolate me, i have nothing to lose. are there others like him? >> i know there are others like him. i know some people are not publicly coming out right now but if i go back to the beginning of this session you had 25 members vote against the speaker. the big thing i see happening here, this is an insurance policy. so if everyone was upset about the "cromnibus" that happened late last congress. so that doesn't happen again this motion is out there and if something bad like the "cromnibus" starts happening again we have a debt ceiling deal. we got some spending bills coming up. this is out there and speaker boehner has to remember that

this is there in case he decides to do a last minute deal. these congressman can come out of the woodwork overnight and the bill and vehicle to remove him if he is, failing in leadership, the vehicle is there now. neil: isn't there a procedure though when you're in between elections, when you want to get rid after speaker. not just the party of the speaker that decides it, the whole house would? and that makes it doubly difficult because a lot of democrats probably would support boehner in that position? >> well, that is pretty difficult if we're in the position now where the republican speaker of the house needs democrats to remain speaker and democrats to pass -- neil: do you think it would come down to that? that he would survive it ironically it, you cobble together a coalition of maybe moderate republicans and other democrats to keep him there? >> it's possible but if that happens, i think in the next congress you would be looking to people like jeb hensarling as a great alternative.

it is kind of the closest thing we have is a show of no confidence. i want to say something specifically about what meadows is asking. neil: sure. >> when you read his document, he puts things in there like let's read the bill for three days. let's not have these manufactured crises where we have to wait to the last second, otherwise, if we don't pass the debt ceiling increase everything goes to hell in a hand basket. why don't we start working on that stuff right now? then something else he says strikes really true to my heart is we are, congress is ceding so much power and authority to the regulators. that is not the constitutional balance. it is up to the speaker to protect the congress. neil: you're right about this we have the epa running crazy. >> right. neil: labor department. you're right, a lot of people are reading his movie or being crazy movie, he is talking about get back to doing what we're constitutionally told to do. >> absolutely. and i think that is part of the problem. what is congress's main job? it is oversight. neil: yeah.

>> i haven't seen congress doing a lot of oversight lately. if the regulators, bureaucrats that will never be accountable are oversight, look out. that is kind of, that not the way our system was designed. neil: you express it very eloquently, adam. appreciate it. thank you very, very much. >> thank you. neil: freedomworks ceo. talk about the times and how they're changing we have our country and china joined at the hip when it comes to government. it needs government. it needs a lot of government. the fear is that in the united states interest rates are going to go up so that is not good for a market that doesn't like government maybe backing off. in china, maybe all of that buying of chinas stocks on the part of government backs off and they don't like it. that's weird. that's not laissez-faire. that is just not fair. that is not right. that is setting a very dangerous trend after this. ♪

neil: you know sometimes i stay up to pass along some incredible news, comments just kind of reek of chutzpah. this is out of white house. josh earnest saying it is about time that the gop passed a bill on time, referring to this measure to provide funding for our infrastructure and the like even though it is combined with an export-import bank funding they have been typically late on all these measures, that they have a history of being late. that they keep kicking the can down the road. i'm thinking to myself. >> self, not casting aspersions on either side here, this is the same white house ignored its own debt commission, ideas to get spending under control and ignored logical early solutions to prevent these government brink shows both parties have part in playing. like me coming to make a national statement, you all have got to start eating right! yikes!

jan burke here, great read of government's gone amok here. looking not only what is going on in china and how the markets there are revolting over a government that might want to step back, easier said than done, but as you point out, my friend, no difference with our markets having problem with federal reserve stepping back, each depend depth on the government. >> absolutely. they are all seem to be dependent on government. europeans are dependent on the central bank. we're dependent on the fed. neil: what happened to us? >> we've learned all the wrong lessons from 08. what we learned from '08, the government created crisis by keeping interest rates low and increasing housing market we redoubled that. we need government to prop stock prices up. need government to keep economy going. no, we don't. the economy does best when the government gets out of the way. the economy does best -- neil: there is a fear factor, go back to the time of the bank rescues and everything, that you

don't want to know what will happen if we don't. we'll never know. >> that is a power grab. that is how government grabs power by scaring and fear-mongering. this is the history of authoritarianism. neil: under george bush, under republicans went all for it because everyone got nervous. >> this is not democratic or republican thing. this is statist thing. people who believe that centralized power, centralized control is necessary. this goes back hundreds of years, thousands of years. neil: you and i were talking during the break are old enough to remember there was a time where the markets worldwide recalled at any government intervention. now they recoil any signs of government backing off. >> because government fed the markets. think of last six years in the united states. think of qe, 1, 2, and 3. government basically printing $4 trillion of money people believe have gone into the markets. neil: i know it is a game but what do you think? >> i think economy would be healthier and growing faster.

unemployment would be lower. real unemployment would be lower. i think the unemployment would be a lot lower without all of that. what exactly should the fed have done out of the financial crisis? who knows exactly but, qe, buying up debt en masse, buying mortgage-backed securities en masse can't be right solution to the problem. having freddie and fannie today being larger buying bigger percentage of mortgages before the crisis can't be solution. i thought after '08 we would get rid of freddie and fannie. neil: they were exempted from any of the harsh punishment. >> we fined banks over $200 billion. we create ad banking system afraid of its own shadow. afraid of making loans. neil: i'm not apologists for them. find itself because -- >> small business in america today suffering, there is entrepreneurship, for first time last year we had more businesses close than we had new businesses created. now that is real tragedy. that is so un-american if you

will. this is the land of entrepreneurs. neil: ultimate chutzpah we criticize chinese for propping up their markets but that's what we're doing. >> it won't end well. japanese tried same thing in early '90s. look at them. they have 20 years of stagnation. a lot of it has the government answers the markets very hard for them to exit. like entitlements in the early in the show. once you establish entitlements hard to get rid of them. with the government buying stocks and bonds. neil: thank you very, very much. well, are you a whole foods fan? a lot of folks are certainly around here. they're all thin and very fit. they love it. one time i went in there and i ordered two pounds of arugula. and it was not two pounds t was 1 1/2 pounds and they charged me for two pounds of arugula. from that moment on i was just eating meat and potato chips. what really happened at whole foods and why now whole foods is coming back at the media for

saying it's your fault. whoa. after this. hi my name is tom. i'm raph. my name is anne. i'm one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. don't let unanswered legal questions hold you up, because we're here we're here and we've got your back. legalzoom. legal help is here.

>> straight up we made some mistakes. we wantown that and. neil: owner of whole foods may be food scale rigging. i don't know if you ever do this go to the store, coiled cuts pound of baloney or two pounds of arugula, i'm more in the latter camp.

all of sudden you realize it is not quite the weight you ordered but a little less and being charged for the full weight. this is something happening in some new york stores. but now the company is saying it doesn't like being portrayed as doing this across all of the stores. so somehow cheating owl of its customers. company saying in statement, something went viral in the media and hurt our trust. we do feel like we're victims. we have lizzie macdonald and john layfield saying blaming the media is probably not the way to go. especially media loves this store, right? >> the media hasn't taken on whole foods and their skyrocketing prices. i shopped in whole foods and a lot of grocery stores, their prices are really high. neil: can't find a ring ding. no lays potato chips. >> no lays. one thing he said, he is not doing anything differently than other supermarket as well but didn't names. that is peevish and churlish of

him, not really, you're going to rat out other grocers they're overcharging as well but not say who? neil: john, in this case happened in new york stores it was prebought food. in other words you don't go up to the deli count irper se. have a sandwich or something like that, premeasured you think you're paying for measured rate but actually paying more because it is not that. but, it happened in just one area. does the store have a point? or is this a more common practice we're learning about? john? >> well, i'm sorry. neil: caught up on the allying la thing getting cheated. go ahead. >> exactly. a rueing law threw me off completely. the problem is not reporting of news. the problem is the news t wasn't one area, but eight different stores, and it was 80 items and all 80 they took as test sample were priced incorrectly. if this was mistake be priced on

both sides but they were all in favor of the store. one new york city inspector called it the most egregious thing that he has ever seen since he has been inspecting different stores. for them to blame the news reporting on this to me is very disingenuous. the news here is the problem and same-store sales having a problem since mid 2013 that is the big problem. neil: that is big worry. >> that is a big worry. at a time where you have groceries basically delivering food to your home like fresh direct and other grocers coming up, whole foods is seeing heat and feeling heat from competition. here with what the city inspector said, worse case of overcharging, what about gas stations overcharging too. neil: good point. >> he may have been a little hype every ventilated. i think john mackey sunday the gun. john layfield is right comparable same-store sales last week of june were really bad. he had to come out to say something. this is really about customer trust in whole foods. neil: they didn't have ring

dings. any of that horrible stuff. >> drake fruit pies. neil: don't get me started. whole foods, i warned you. thank you very much. a lot of warnings to the irs commissioner better send over emails, start providing stuff republican congress wanted and now there is hell to pay. the commissioner says he has very good reason not to provide these. the judge said you're really dragging your feet and keep doing this, you will be dragging your fannie right to my gavel. to gerri willis on that and what is going on here. gerri? >> well look, i spent a lot of time with these 20 pages of the transcript in front of judge emmett sullivan who has been trying for entire month to get the irs to produce emails from lois lerner. wanted them to produce emails every monday. they made one deadline. that was it. finally, this is like a divorce proceeding. it is really bitchchy. i will have, haul into court the irs commissioner to hold him personally in contempt.

personally. he describes the excuses he is getting indefensible ridiculous, absurd. this is really contentious. the judge here is saying he won't stand for it, not anymore. if koskinen wants to come in front of him he will happily hold him in contempt. neil: thank you, gerri willis. might have been hearing some frustration on part of chris christie going after a poll that said he wasn't doing at that well for all the time in new hampshire in new hampshire. and that the poll doesn't reflect progress he has made. is his problem really donald trump. if donald trump were not in the race would chris christie be doing better in this race? new jersey and joe piscopo takes the governor's side after this. >> what i'm out there talking to folks nobody in the real world asks me about this. nobody. >> right. >> but every time i get on a media show, all anybody wants to talk about is donald trump.

can a business have a mind? a subconscious. a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit? can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive?

>> time now for the fox business brief. i'm connell mcshane. looking at shares of under armour, because the stock, there it is, just under 100 bucks at record high for third day in a row. under armour has been on a tear here, up a little less than 1%. over last few days doing great. fifth best performing stock for the year in s&p 500. we'll not tell you the other four. you have to guess. skechers from sportswear to

footwear, a pair of sneaker stocks hitting record highs. skechers is one of them and there is the rally for one week, up close to 150 bucks a share. good earnings there for the second quarter. the company has been benefiting for strong shipments from the back-to-school season as well. so that is doing it for skechers. how about nike? lifetime high. pulled back a little bit. but hit a life-time high earlier today. one more before we break. we'll squeeze in twitter. fell at the open, fresh 52-week low. neil back, more "coast to coast" in just a moment.

neil: all right, it is all a republican cabal. look at josh earnest on this whole planned parenthood dust-up. >> i know there has been an effort on the part of some republicans to try to, to play some politics with, selectively-edited videos this is tactic we've seen used before. neil: all right. now, i said this before, i don't care if you're on right or left, these are not selectively edited videos. if you want to put a bunch of selectivelily edited, what do we do on this show, fox news show. we lifted those individual comments, one at a time, to hear about what kind of money you can get on open market for fetus parts from hearts to kidneys to other organs and other stuff

that came out just so over the top, it doesn't bear repeating. i wouldn't want to unsettle you. the fact of the matter is, joe piscopo says this is an issue that isn't funny. and that whether you're pro-life or pro-choice as we discovered on this show, this is something that is hitting a chord. a lot of people find offensive. >> my gosh, we're more concerned about the lion. more concerned about cecil the lion. that is true. more people tearing up about the lion which is terrible in its own right. but to harvest body parts from a fetus, neil? neil: none of debating what you get for pristine organs in the open market for fetus parts. none of that was doctored or edited. >> don't get fooled. i, from the white house, they will actually say that? they're actually -- neil: right-wing cabal. i've seen republicans do this with democratic criticisms early on where were the weapons. so it is fair. i understand that.

what i think is unfair to then take this and posit in a way to make people forget about the core issue their folks over at planned parenthood doing and saying this kind of stuff. >> don't think that is the is bible bangers or religious right. this, and you put it so well, it is just on any level, in any regard, this is wrong. neil: it is wrong. >> it shouldn't come from the white house. neil: it is but should not. chris christie showing polls not making any traction in new hampshire. oddly the enough the poll that shows it that donald trump is. is donald trump more than a poll, his biggest problem? >> yes. i clearly, because the beauty of chris christie for me and again you know i sided with the governor because it is a jersey thing but i love the way his plain speak. neil: you are blindly loyal. >> i'm not blindly loyal. neil: run for governor, you need him? >> no. just, you, i my problem is neil, i meet the people, i like him. neil: he is very likeable guy

but he is inn trouble. >> he plain speak, shut up, sit down. so jersey i love it. donald took all of that way abecause donald is doing it right now. neil: in the same poll he bemoan, comes into new hampshire, hammites? , people from second favorite guy. >> did you see him one-on-one, did interview with local tv guy in new hampshire. neil: he will survive this okay. >> we're drooling for the debate. we love the debate. like watching super bowl. so exciting. they have the big debate and kid's table for -- neil: incredible. >> it will be fun to watch. neil: you think christie does okay? >> that is debate because donald will have to be specific. neil: will you watch him in new hampshire? you're polling below the favorite second guy -- >> senator cory booker said don't underestimate chris christie. i'm just saying.
