navigating and talking about the big debate. "varney and company" is next. stuart: a former president picks up the phone and calls donald trump. what is bill clinton up to? do you think bill was trying to mess up the republican race? the call was made before trump announced his right hand after hillary announced hers. did bill think the donald's run would help hillary by disrupting the republicans to give the big debates are tonight as you know. president obama in what i am going to call on new low for this presidency compared republicans with the death to america crowd in iran. was a harsh campaign speech dressed up as a push for the nuclear deal. to the markets two big names will be down and down big today. remember when curie was at 160 and opens at 55 down 30% over

night? tesla, elon musk says building an suv is very hard. both of those companies join the parade of big-name brand losers we have seen this week. i have a winner for you, it will be you and i believe gas down again and another forecast under $2 gasoline next month by next month. "varney and company" is about to begin. >> just because iranian hardliners chance death to america does not mean that is what all iranians believe. if it those hard-liners were most comfortable with the status quo, if those hard-liners joy and didn't death to america had been as opposed to the deal, they're making common cause with the republican caucus. stuart: you heard it. the president of the united states in my opinion reaching in

new low campaigning iranians who can't get to america to republicans. john bolton joins us to talk about that later this hour. you are looking at the quick and loans arena deserted at the moment, won't be for long, the site of the republican debate tonight, the first begins eight hours from now. you can see it on fox. more on the debate for the next three hours. bill clinton to donald trump, the washington post reports the conversation happened in late spring and according to that report, four from our eyes and one clinton associate familiar with the exchange said the former president and courage trump's efforts to play a larger role in the republican party. joining us, the author of clinton inc.. why would bill clinton called donald trump? your theory please? >> simple reason. donald trump is the clinton donor and clinton donors get special access. donald trump has given a lot of

money to the clintons and the clinton foundation. we should not be surprised bill clinton whenever a donor calls up the grant them access. that is why people might be donating to the clintons. even donald trump said i am business man. i made business decisions and help explain his investments in that way. of course -- stuart: just as tame as that? >> there are a lot of layers to this. that is the most simple layer that is worth saying because i haven't heard anybody say that and it seems obvious. bill clinton, not clear if he wants hillary clinton to be elected president of the united states. stuart: hold on. you are telling our viewers is not clear whether bill clinton wants his wife to be elected president of the united states? really? >> really. this is what i reported in my

book, talking to aides to looked at the 2008 campaign, they saw how unhelpful bill clinton was at various moments in the campaign and they said they said to me i don't know. the guy is conflicted. i am not sure he wants to return to the white house and it would not make his legacy necessarily look good. he would be the president clinton who was impeached by comparison to his wife hillary clinton who would be the historical president clinton, first woman president. stuart: d. grant deeper into the weeds here. let me give you my interpretation. bill clinton picks up the phone, called donald trump, donald takes the call, bill clinton, they talk politics because they are both interested in politics and bill sadly implies you could do well in the republican party. he is urging him to run, he is saying you could make a real mess of the republican party. that is what they are doing sure the. >> it could be that. he could be saying donald trump would screw things up for the

republicans, such a loud mouth, uncontrollable, let's get him out there and make republicans look foolish little lot of players we don't know but the new york times reported last night on twitter that there is a recording of this call. if this recording to be released i think we would do a lot more about the contents of this call, where bill clinton is coming from. where donald trump is coming from. would be useful in analyzing this little lot of options, a lot of different things at play here as it could possibly be the case. we don't know what they are. release a recording of the call and let's hear for ourselves what went on, what these two masterminds, negotiators were up to on this private phone call. stuart: i want to hear the tone of voice, the way ideas were battered around. i would love to hear it all but don't expect to. thank you very much for joining us as always, it is a pleasure. let's get to the markets, check out the futures, indication of where we open in 25 minutes

time. slightly higher open. remembers there's a big jobs report tomorrow that may influence trading today. the gain will take us to 17-5. the price of oil $44 a barrel, down $0.50. because of that we have gas down another penny, $2.62 is your quote now. for 22 straight days the price of gasoline has gone down. that is a big deal. in a few minutes gas betty as in gasbuddy.com. he says this is a headline, several states will see gasoline below $2 a gallon next month. that will be september. month from now. he will tell us which states five minutes from now. individual companies, look at tesla, disappointing outlook, they expect fewer cars, dierdre bolton is here. i know you are a fan of elon musk.

>> generally speaking. stuart: i think he has a problem with hype and a bigger problem with cheap gasoline. >> you say he is p.t. barnum. i had this conversation with you before as an investor, down 8%. if you are looking for assuring all i can say is every engineer i speak with in silicon valley wants to work with elon musk because he does have big ideas leave your point, the model as he is saying, i said i could deliver 55,000 cars by the end of the year it won't happen. if there is a delay hard to make cars. the facade, gm does it all the time. tons of automakers do it all the time so the investment community is beginning to be in patients with elon musk saying you can build a rocket, how come you can figure out this car production? stuart: didn't the same moment ago the suv, his suv, didn't he say it was hardest car in the world to build?

>> he did say that and i think he is trying to manage expectations. he made a statement about quality saying i had to do this thing. i prefer to focus on quality. stuart: he does this all the time. >> you have to talk your book. stuart: if you are talking up, giving justin ideas saying we will do this, this and this, get the stock up. >> 55,000 cars delivered, not that much, less than 50. stuart: i am surprised there is no loss to. a stock like that goes down. >> will be down today. stuart: another one will come down today, green mountain, they are the single serve coffeepot people. i am looking at that scream. they will open 52. ashley: down 27%. they can't sell their coffee machine anymore, dropping off

dramatically. sales of coffee brewers, the actual machines down 26% and guidance going forward is not great either, having to cut cars, guidance is off all around. no big surprise this is 9. don: in november and december last year. it was 60 bucks. a trader's favorite. everyday would cross the tape going this way or that way. ashley: so many coffee machines people got it and that is what we see. don: back to gas. where is the cheapest gasoline in the united states? $1.89 in tennessee and the kangaroos station in athens, tenn.. gas buddy.com, you are there. you may have that line of the day. that line of the day in my opinion is you say in seven or eight state's gas will be under

$2 a gallon by next month. is that your headline? >> you got it. that king larue will be bouncing around state to state. you have to be in the south to enjoy it. it will spread by christmas as many as 20 states could see $2 a gallon and it is getting better. you point out oil is already at 44 and we are talking about refinery maintenance turnaround season looking a bit heavier still less crude oil running into those refineries could mean another bottleneck of crude oil, west texas under 40 could bring an abundance of cheap prices across the u.s. this fall. don: when you say the states in the south and the southeast or southwest that they will be the states under $2, that will be the average price within those states under $2. average price. >> that is right. by the end of september give me some room not by september 1st.

once we rollover september 15th, the u.s. which is back to the cheaper winter blend everyone loves to talk about and by later in september you will see or tennessee alabama and mississippi oklahoma areas of texas could see $2 a gallon prices and will bounce around and spread. stuart: this reminds me late last year or in the fall of last year when we had that long long slide, gas went down every day for 60 days or something, very similar to that but this time we could be even lower than the lows last year. is that accurate? >> absolutely. looking at west texas intermediary, strongest case is looking at the price of oil, the commodity sell-off and crude oil under tremendous pressure, talk about adding more crude oil to the global market, slowdown in china and refinery turnarounds season going to see less crude oil being in putting to refineries.

it is very bearish. don: we think it is just great. thank you as always for joining us, see you again soon. kellogg getting rid of artificial colors and flavors, kelloggs. laurent is here. >> snap crackle pop rice christie's, corn flakes will soon be all natural, kellogg's removing all artificial ingredients from its cereals by the end of 2018. kellogg is the biggest cereals of the maker in the world joining a long list of food companies that say they will stop using artificial flavors and colors including general mills, her she and craft. sales are suffering. frontier airlines will stop nickel-and-diming you. it is about time. is offering a bundled package they are calling the works sold for one state you get all of these and ons you use to pay for individual the, that feat for a direct flight is between $49, and $69 each way but perks include one carry-on bag, when checked bag, best available

stuart: the new york post reporting the fbi's investigation into hillary's private e-mail server is in our criminal investigation. keyword criminal. judge andrew napolitano is here. bringing you back to say what you said yesterday because you filled out with clarity and impact please do it again. judge napolitano: the fbi ordinarily does not investigate for civil wrongdoing. there are some circumstances into which civil rights violations turn out to the civil lawsuits rather than criminal and does not investigate for ethical lapses or technical violations of federal government rules. its goal is to investigate

violations of federal crimes or to find exposures for national security. it is clear they are looking at one of the two year but to my surprise this morning the new york post reports quoting an fbi official in the justice department in washington saying this is clearly a criminal investigation. here is why we should be surprised. general david petraeus was the subject of a criminal investigation for the failure to secure classified documents. those documents consisted of his diary, calendar, backup material. the study and a home, it couldn't make it into a computer server hacked by vladimir putin or chinese -- prosecuted for that and pleaded guilty. passed through the server in the barn in chapel choir, new york,

far more sensitive information. the e-mails i saw. i didn't see the ones the inspectors general sense so the fbi wants the location of french fighter jets during the libyan bombing, extent of the no-fly zone in various parts of libya where nato would prevent libyan planes from flying, the location of ambassador stephen this moving from one part of libya to the other, the same ambassador stevens was assassinated with american weaponry vichy cause to get into the hands of known al qaeda operatives. the fbi is on top of all these. don't be surprised if they raid her office or her home to see where that server is or what is there because they're under pressure from the intelligence community to find out what is out there and still exposed -- she doesn't have security clearance anymore. earlier who has this information

doesn't have security clearance, her ig people don't have security clearances, potentially possess national secrets. don: you played out the situation for the presidential candidate and is serious business indeed. starbucks chief howard schultz, some calling on him to run for the presidency. today responded to those calls and we will tell you what he said. >> judge andrew napolitano one hillary clinton baxley this e-mail message. will mrs. clinton be in serious legal trouble dq we break it down a:00 eastern, 5:00 pacific right here.

stuart: howard schulz answering calls to run for the presidency in an op-ed in the new york times. the challenges facing us today are too dire for another status quo election. for too many americans the believe that propelled me that i had the opportunity to climb the ladder of prosperity has greatly diminished. anxiety, not optimism rules the day. despite the encouragement of others i have no intention of entering the presidential fray. i am not done serving at starbucks. he is not running. he wants to pass judgment on american policy. >> he is saying americans want and need a servant president but he has no political experience. he runs in extremely big

>> this is -- yes, really. [laughter] stuart: went on from there. top of the hour on hillary and bill clinton. you've got to remember, we start at 9:00 sharp, so you've got to get there real early, okay? the opening bell is ring aring, trading has now begun. we're expecting a modest gain for the dow, and that's we got. two points, eleven points, we're on a roll, boys and girls. okay. look at tesla, they gave out a disappointing outlook, they expect to produce fewer cars, down at 250 right now, that's a 7% loss. ashley webster's here, deirdre bolton. first of all, d.r., would you buy tesla down at 250? >> deponent like it here, stuart -- don't like it here, stuart. their production problems are coming to roost. i said we've got to keep an eye on that. they only made 21,5 cars in the

first half, they've got it down to 50-55 for the year, i'll take the under on that one, and i don't think this is done going down. stuart: cheap gas doesn't help either. >> no, not a bit.it's just the people that like the toys. stuart: on the subject of cars and maybe the tesla, i've got an alert for you, another car hack has been exposed. there's a homemade device, unlocks car doors using a wireless signal. fox has the exclusive story at 10:15, but, d.r., you say tesla, because it's so electronic, could be -- not a victim, but could be accessible by this device? >> yeah, the most wired car. jeep from by yacht chrysler -- fiat chrysler had a hack, and tesla is one of those names people are going to keep watching because they are the most electronically-wired car. stuart: moving on to apple, apple music has 11 million trial

members, and the app store -- this is the big one -- brought in $1.7 billion in one month? >> in one month. you know, it's -- yes, they're struggling in a lot of areas, but my god, if all of those trial members, i'm one of them, if i decide to sign up for the service and everyone does, it will already meet half of spotify's paid membership, and they've been around for ten years. stuart: $10 a month, is that what it is? >> unless you have a family membership -- stuart: you get the fist three months for free? >> yes, you do. stuart: it sounded like a good deal. >> they do have your credit card. it's free, they're not charging you, but you would have to -- >> signed up, automatically -- >> there you go, you won. >> two million of those clients are up on the more expensive $14.99. stuart: apple, the app store brings in 1.7 billion in one month, and the stock's only up a buck from yesterday's big drop.

>> so app developers made a ton of money and including in china. >> that's right. i was just going to say the same thing. stuart: don't miss this, we're going to talk apple music, okay, with harry wayne casey from k.c. and the sunshine band in the studio. here's the question for harry, has streaming brought his music to a whole new generation? i think the answer is, yes. i want to hear "get down tonight."

in the long run. stuart: i don't understand this, the new model only takes what? >> they're trying to make it so you can only use their pods, not replacement -- stuart: only theirs. locking it in. >> also cutting the work force by 5%, is so their sales outlook is very soft. stuart: it was a day trader's darling. >> yes. >> for a long time, very true. stuart: if you watch the tape over the last couple of years, it was always going across because it was trading backwards and forwards and now $50 a share. all right. more big names, we watch 'em every day, hope you to do too. first of all, netflix, where are we on netflix this morning? a series of all-time highs, we're up 126 on netflix today. you don't want to say anything about netflix, do you? >> only that it's great, and their expansion model is working. it wasn't working at the end of last year, they're rolling in new countries month after month, more and more international subscribers. >> they launch in japan, i

think, in the next 30 days. stuart: yes, that's right. now let me alert you to this, a new low for twitter. i believe we're down to 28, 28.18 is the lower hitting as of now. go on, say it. [laughter] >> 300 million sets of eyeballs on this app, stuart, and they can't make it work. >> did you see google's ceo? we don't give a hoot about twitter because a lot of people are saying google should buy twitter and, apparently, they're not even interested. >> that's what they say. stuart: i don't like ending with a stream of negatives. you've got to plow through all of that to get to the tweet. that's just me. disney, coming off its biggest drop in four years after investors were kind of worried about the growth rate there at espn. it's down another $1.45 today, under $110 a share. then we have billionaire activist bill ackman. he's made a huge bet on -- [inaudible] they make oreos, a whole bunch

of other stuff. >> the stock's up about 3.5% right now, hitting a new record all-time high. your point is, and i hear deirdre talking about junk food, and that's right. we talk about oreos, cadbury chocolate, people are moving to healthier choices. bill ackman saying cut costs or -- and grow the revenue or consider selling yourself off maybe to the likes of kraft heinz or pepsi? those are some of the names thrown around. nelson peltz, another big, huge investor, has his money there. stuart: i think ackman wants mondelez to be taken other, or he wants to split the company up and make it worth more in part than it is in whole. >> right. and if he puts it together with kraft, it has been with kraft prior. stuart: right. >> we'll see if it goes back. stuart: that would make one giant corporation if they did get together. that would be about $160 billion

below $2, so in all reality, this should be coming. stuart: dan can, saudi arabia is borrowing $27 billion because the low oil price is straining its finances. that sounds to me like they're pretty much fed up in saudi arabia with low oil prices, and they might want to do something about it. will that put a floor under the oil market? >> well, you know, it's -- it'll be a funny thing to see what happens. everybody's worried aboutbe the frackers because oil went below a certain price. let's assume that saudi arabia does cut back in production and oil bounces back a little, i think we have a ceiling around $60-$70 because all indications are that the fracking fields in north dakota in the u.s. are profitable at those levels. these things weren't shut permanently, they will be turned on again. stuart: okay, in a permanent situation of $40-$60 per barrel of oil, is that right, dan? >> yeah, i think we're good for

now. stuart: take a look at fitbit, disappointing profits. d.r., i think they're a victim of the analysts' expectation thes. miss an expectation by a tiny amount, the stock gets killed. >> and for the first earnings report after the ipo, they just blew the numbers out. they were awesome. and they guided lower. i think the real issue, stuart, if we dig a little deeper is the wearables market is not panning out. apple's having real troubles there. >> they had some tremendous international sales, but the margins are getting lower and the revenues slowing down. stuart: fitbit doing well overseas. >> doing very well, but the guidance -- >> to your point, you had that 48% pop on that first trading day, a huge start out of the gate, hard to keep that going. >> yeah. but they're hitting their numbers, they're just saying they're not going to keep going there for the rest of the years which is what one of apple's

suppliers has said about the background. i think that's one of the reasons apple had this big tumble. that was a story that wasn't headline news, but all the traders were looking at that going, whoa, let's pull back. stuart: got it. look at under armour, sitting near an all-time high. they sponsor pro golfer jordan spieth. if he wins the tournament, the bridgestone i think it is this weekend, that young 21-year-old, he goes to number one in the world. you'll see the under armour low to go everywhere again. that's a big deal, ash. >> it is a big deal. [laughter] i mean, this kid's on fire. it doesn't hurt that rory mcilroy did a stupid thing playing soccer and injuring himself, took himself out of the british open as well as this because people love a good head-to-head competition, but jordan spieth is the real deal, and whoever came up with the idea to sponsor him is crowing every second of every day. stuart: they do it so well because that logo is

everywhere -- >> it is. stuart: side of his head, lapel, i think. >> there's no confusion. zero confusion. stuart: yeah, and he's only one sponsor, that's it. under armour. sort of like a -- >> i was just going to say, nascar. >> if you put them on cricket players, ashley will go bananas. >> now wait a minute, that's stepping over the line. stuart: there's a second story going on about cricket, and we are not going to discuss. check the big board, and we are down. we're 62 points lower, dropping below 17,5. donald trump right at the center of tonight's gop debate in cleveland. the gop says they're going to concentrate on hillary. really? we'll deal with it next. ♪ 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?

stuart: all right, now we're down, whats it, 60 -- 69 points, almost 70

point toes we're down in the early part of this going thursday morning. let me make something real clear here -- [laughter] sounds like nixon, doesn't it? >> it does. stuart: jordan spieth's big sponsor is, indeed, under armour, but there's a lot of other sponsors, titleist, rolex, at&t, i'm sorry i didn't want mention them -- i didn't mention them, but the most prominent logo is under armour. >> you can't miss it. stuart: but they're not the only sponsor. got it. to facebook, please. not too far from are its all-time high, 97.50 right now. they're going to let businesses send you instant messages just like you can with your friends. i think there are commercial possibilities there. businesses sending me -- >> at least they hope so. stuart: that's commercial. molson coors getting hit by a strong dollar, profit holding up, however, and investors like it, the stock is up 2%.

>> cheers. stuart: well done. we're less than eight hours away from the first big gop debate on fox news. bring in fred barnes, please. fred, donald trump obviously in the spotlight, but the top republican says, oh, no, we're going to shift the attention away, we're going to attack hillary, all of us. do you think that's possible with donald trump sitting right in the middle of the debate? >> i think that's ridiculous. i think voters and the press and even me and probably you too, stuart, will find that, debate so-called will be a waste of time. i don't think that's what anybody wants to hear now. they want to hear about the republican candidates, what they're for, what are their differences and why donald trump is leading. my own view is they won't attack trump, and that will be what makes the questioners from fox news even more important. they'll be the ones who will have to hold trump to the fire on what he believes and whether he has a real agenda -- stuart: but there'll be strict rules in these debates.

hemming in candidates according to the time that they've got available. and the sequence with which they speak. it's not like donald trump can just raise his voice and dominate everybody. i mean, he's got to play by the rules, so that will cramp his style a little bit, i suspect. >> it probably will. but, remember, who is in charge here? the moderators from fox are in charge, you know, chris wallace and megyn kelly and bret baier. they can break the rules. i mean, look, if there's a good and useful argument going on, a difference of opinion, say, between jeb bush and donald trump or something, they can let that go, and they should. but if they have these rigid rules where, oh, no, we have to go hear from john kasich now, i think that would be a mistake and really i don't think they're going to stop some interesting debate that's going on. stuart: indeed, that's right. i think you and i agree, fred, i don't think we always like what donald trump has said, but i think we both believe that he's brought an enormous level of

interest to the republican party and especially to this particular debate. without him, i don't think there would be this interest in this debate at this time. >> no. i agree, and that's why i think the questions need to focus on him in particular at least in the beginning. more than, say, john kasich. trump is the campaign right now, and that shouldn't be forgotten. stuart: i'm sorry, fred, i was just interrupted briefly there. what we've got on the screen right now is the first, the prime time debate. those are the candidates who will be in the prime time debate let me see now, have you ever seen a debate in american politics which has gathered this level of interest? ever before? i mean, you and i, we have a certain vintage. i think we've gone back all the way to the nixon-kennedy debates. i don't think there's ever been as much enter as this one. >> well, there never has been. i didn't see the nixon-kennedy debates, but i wish i had.

[laughter] this exceeds by a huge factor any other debates i've seen. there have been big ones before, there were some ones with eight and nine candidates back in 2011. but nothing where the candidates are this strong, and donald trump's there. and that makes all the difference. stuart: i've got to raise this question with you, fred, a lot of people say sooner or later trump implodes. he says something so outrageous, he's like the emperor with no clothes, he just implodes. what say you? >> well, look, this is sort of the talking point of republican officials, and they really believe that. i think if trump's going to hit a demise, it'll be because he becomes too cautious and up interesting, and that can happen. -- can uninteresting, and that can happen. we'll learn a lot tonight about him. stuart: i'll be glued, fred, and i think you will be too. >> i will be. stuart: thanks very much, indeed. we'll see you soon. all right, we are awaiting,

stuart: president obama trying to drum up support for the nuclear deal with iran and taking what i think was a cheap shot in the process. roll tape. >> just because iranian hardt liners chant "death to america" does not mean that's what all iranians believe. in fact, it's those hard liners who are most comfortable with the status quo. it's those hard liners p chanting "death to america" who have been most opposed to the deal. they're making common cause with the republican caw cause. stuart: okay, we heard it. joining us from washington, ambassador john bolton.

ambassador, i think that was a cheap shot. i think it was a low blow, and i think it's unbecoming of the office. am i going too far? >> no. i think that's all true, but it's very typical of the way the president argues, and it is exactly what he did in that speech. you cannot be against this agreement, or you're a warmonger. he doesn't really argue the merits of his position. he attacks his opponents, and he counts on the mainstream media to give him cover because they don't look beneath the superficial political shot to really examine whether he's defending his position, which he's not doing very well. stuart: in 2009 america had basically won in iraq. and at that time there were these protests in iran over an election. the president failed to support the freedom people in iran. he retreated from iraq, and we lost iraq, and now he's having to deal with and do the kowtow to iran. and he's blaming the people when

supported the iraq war in the first place. he's turning history on its head, and -- >> but, stuart, but it's so typical of what he does. this is all george w. bush's fault. that's a what he said for six and a half years. you know, the logic is that if you oppose this deal with iran, you were one of the people who probably supported the disastrous iraq war. and by the way, here i am at american university giving a peach at the same place john -- a speech at the same place john kennedy gave a speech talking about the agreement with the first arms control agreement with russia, failing to point out, for example, that john kennedy's also the author of our involvement this vietnam. but he counts on the mainstream media not looking into it because they have the attention span of a flute fly. stuart: -- a fruit fly. stuart: international inspectors are not allowed into a nuclear facility in iran, just not allowed in. so we can't find out what they've been up to for the past

few years, just can't find out. >> that's one of the reasons why these so-called side deals between the international atomic energy agency and iran are so important to see. the critical link to get sanctions removed for iran is the iaea being able to say there was no military activity. but what they're allowed to do, what will be the basis of their conclusion so central to this deal, the administration isn't pressing for, congress momentum know what's in it, the american people don't know what's in it, the president won't address that deficiency. he'd rather call names. stuart: indeed. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: in our next hour, another car hack. little homemade gadget. look at it, there it is. lets you break into cars. you just press a button, and in you go. we have the exclusive report, about 10:15 this morning. and we're counting down to the presidential debate tonight in cleveland. a deep bench for the republicans

on display. the second hour of "varney & company" two minutes away.

stuart: here are the brig stories at this hour, the big gop debate on fox news, both of them, they start -- well, one of them, in seven hours, the second one after that. now we hear president bill clinton had made a phone call to donald trump just before trump announced his presidential campaign. the rumor mill running wild on what they talked about. gasparino on that on this program shortly. meanwhile, president obama insults the gop by comparing them to iranian hard liners, the very same people who chant "death to america." extraordinary. and an exclusive story this hour, hackers have figured out a way to hack into any car. hijack it, in fact. we'll tell you how they're doing it. and look at the share price of tesla. it is down big. of course, elon musk is still saying big things are coming, but the stock is down 11%. the second hour of "varney & company" starts right now.

♪ ♪ stuart: i have breaking news for you right now concerning mortgage rates. this is interesting. freddie mac, 0-year fix -- 30-year fixed rate loan, 3.91%. 3.91%. that's down from last week, and that's down from the week before, so we're on a down trend at the moment, 3.91 on your 30-year fixed. come on in, katrina, who knows a thing or two about the real estate industry. what should we do? if i'm re-fiing, should i jump in and get myself a 0-year fix -- 30-year fixed rate loan? i know exactly what the payments are to come, i sleep well at night, or do i go with an i just bl -- adjustability and take some risk? >> well, with these rates being so low, especially if you're on a five-year a.r.m., now's the time to refinance -- stuart: with a what?

>> i'm sorry? stuart: with a what? if you're -- whatever you've got now, re-fi with what, fixed or adjustable? >> oh, fixed. definitely fixed because, you know, the rates just went down to, like you said, 3.9%. and so now would be the time to refinance to a fixed rate. you know, the overall housing market is doing extremely well. the pending home sales are up consistently year after year. even if you have slight changes month to month, year-over-year they're up. the biggest obstacle in the market continues to be low inventory. you have buyers out there that want to buy, the demand is there, but the inventories in many markets are very low. and then you have sellers that have equity in their property and are ready to east downsize or upgrade but yet can't find the perfect property to actually switch to. so, and, you know, one other thing that's important to know is that the prices continue to rise because of this low inventory. stuart: yeah, that's the problem. >> so what -- yes.

while income is only rising 2%, let's say, the prices are rising between 6-7%. so i would say that's one of the obstacles we have to keep an eye out, and that's not going to change until inventory changes. stuart: i want to alert our viewers to what's happening on the other side of the screen there. we're looking at planet fitness, it went public for the first time, and it has drop asked, what, 10% right there at the opening -- not the opening bell, but certainly the opening trade. the offering price was 16, we're down $1.40 at 14.70 and change, and that is a down 8% on an ipo. that's a little bit unusual, i would say. >> yeah, it is. stuart: you don't often get an ipo that sinks right from the get go. >> yeah, that's true, but it's a fitness gym, so they often struggle with a buildout of spending -- stuart: liz claman is here, knows a thing or two about the markets. [laughter] >> thank you so much. you can say, well, it's a

fitness gym. yesterday a solar company went public and had a very difficult time too. so maybe this is not the best day. timing's everything. stuart: yeah. maybe they overpriced it, is that possible? likely, i would guess. >> that is exactly what happens. and then you look at the competitive landscape, people's discretionary income, what do they have available to spend right now, on maybe it's not planet fitness. stuart: so if they're down, like they're down $1.50, does that mean the underwriters, the big investment banks who brought this to the public at 16, they're holding the bag? they paid 16 for this thing, and they're only going to get 14.50? >> i think if you go in the hallways of the stock exchange, they're committing hara-kiri right now. not what they want. [laughter] the total opposite -- stuart: great to have you on the show, liz. [laughter] i really want to get to something positive, and i've got something very, very positive. i'm looking at the price of gasoline, $2.62 is your national average.

a mere $2.62, down another penny overnight. earlier we asked gas buddy's patrick dehaan how cheap gas will get. now listen to this. >> and we're talking about refinery maintenance turn around season this fall, it's looking maybe a bit heavier, so less crude oil running into those refineries could mean another bottleneck at crude oil. we could see west texas under 40, and that could bring an abundance of cheaper prices across the u.s. this fall. stuart: let's get some details, shall we? the price of crude is now $44 a barrel. patrick dehaan was talking about eight states where by the end of next month -- september -- you'd be looking at under $2 a gallon for gasoline. liz claman is on the show. we're -- [laughter] >> ta da. [laughter] stuart: you have to admit, that's unadulterated, in my opinion, good news. >> a positive all the way around except for, of course, companies that are involved in the oil and

gas industry. stuart: that's true. >> tesla's not thrilled about it either. >> it's not helping tesla at all. stuart: i've got to draw your attention to the big board. the dow jones average is down close on 100 points. in part that's because of disney which is down another 4.5% as we speak. now, disney's a dow stock. that takes points off the dow industrials, and it shows up in the overall average, down 96 as we speak. check some other big name stocks, everybody knows these things. apple, 31 million trial members -- 11 million trial members for apple music and, even better, $1.7 billion coming into the app store in july alone. >> wow. stuart: that stock only recovering by five centings. you let out a big wow, liz. >> i'll tell you, that's the market cap of jcpenney and bigger than the gdp of some small countries. stuart: that means in one month just the app store brought in

$1.7 billion, bigger than the gdp of probably 20 or 30 companies. >> and bigger than jcpenney's market value. stuart: and it's only up 15 cents. >> that's a classic what have you done for me lately? stuart: time to move on to something that just hit a new low, and that would be twitter. i believe they were at 28 earlier, they're 28 now, 28.24. that's very close to the all-time low on that stock. >> they don't have a ceo. stuart: that's true. >> that's a good point. >> that's the problem. where's the leadership? stuart: who's working right, that's for sure. you use twitter? >> all the time. i just tweeted @varneyco, you should be happy. stuart: i am. [laughter] i've got to get back to tesla. they're not selling as many cars as expected, yet elon musk says the future looks good. come on in, liz claman. the aforementioned. [laughter] you and i have locked horns on tesla, i think, a few times. >> just a couple of times, but i can tell you right now, you're

going to kill this guy for being an eternal optimist? meaning proverbially, for not being up front about what he was going to be able to do for the year. they have down scaled their numbers for the year, but everything in perspective, stuart. this is a company that five years ago was delivering 600 cars annually. they just delivered this the quarter more than 11,500. stuart: fair point. i just don't think elon musk has factored in the impact of very cheap gasoline on to the electric car business. these are $100,000 electric cars. wonderful cars, no question about it. >> gorgeous. stuart: they are, indeed. great performance too. but who needs to spend $100,000 on an electric car when i can buy a gallon of gas for 2.30 in new jersey? >> look at ford and their sales for big trucks have done extremely well because americans have a short memory. it was just a couple years ago that oil was pretty high. stuart: thanks very much for your input today. [laughter] the new york post reports the

fbi is investigating hillary's private e-mail server, and it is a criminal probe. there's also this, bill clinton called donald trump in the spring, told him he should get more involved in the republican party. last hour we talked to clinton inc. author daniel hard per. listen to what he had to say. >> donald trump is a clinton donor, and clinton donors get special access. he has given a lot of money to the clintons as well as to the clinton foundation, so maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that bill clinton whenever a donor calls up, he grants them access. >> no, no, no. you've got it wrong. >> why he wants trump involved, that's the bigger issue here. stuart: i think bill clinton called donald trump to see if he could goat him in the race to mess up the -- am i craziesome. >> no. a lot of people think that. a lot of people -- stuart: let's see what charlie gasparino has to say later this hour, he'll be on the show. and we just showed you the

republican candidates who'll be in the debates tonight. they start seven hours from now, that will be the first of the debates. the second one comes up at 9:00 tonight. look at that lineup again, please. blake burman, you in cleveland, what have you got for me? >> hi there, stuart. the head of the rnc, reince priebus, said this morning -- i think you'll find this interesting -- they feel there could be as many as 12-15 million people watching the debate tonight. if that were to happen or anywhere close, that would shatter the records for a debate, a primary debate as early as this. the reason i bring that up is opportunity. it's eyeballs. republican voters tuning in, checking out these candidates. here's why. gallup released a poll this morning, how familiar these candidates are, how familiar republican voters are with these candidates. i want to show you the top and bottom. let's start with the top. donald trump has a 92% familiarity rating, not a shock there. jeb bush at 79%, mike huckabee

at 73%. but here's the bottom three for those who will be at this 9:00 debate tonight. you'll see a huge difference. john kasich, just 35% of republican voters are familiar a with him. ben carson, 49%. scott walker, 52%. so if those three can make an impression considering only about half or a third of republican voters know them, are familiar with them, that could be big for those three. and to put this in even further context, rick perry and rick santorum who are in that 5:00 debate, 70 and 61% of voters are familiar with them, so they know them more than some in that 9:00 debate. stuart? stuart: those are astonishing numbers. all right, blake, thanks for joining us. all right, i want to get to starbucks' ceo, howard schultz. he has an op-ed in today's new york times. it says -- it's titled, "america deserves a servant leader." very critical of both parties. a couple quotes for you. the challenges facing us today

are too dire for another status quo election. here's another, for too many americans the belief that propelled me that i had opportunity to climb the ladder of prosperity has greatly diminished. anxiety, not optimism, rules the day. liz claman, still hanging in there, glutton for punishment. [laughter] okay. i think a rot of people were -- a lot of people were calling on mr. schultz to run for the presidency. he's not going to run, but he puts that op-ed out there. >> he sure did. he's always been involved in big issues whether they be social or political. this is a guy who says i'm not just running a company looking for the almighty dollar, i actual want to improve the country. i encourage everybody to read it, i think it's great you brought it up. he said stop freegz out people -- freezing out people who hold different views. he's taking a page out of president lincoln's book, he turned around and gave three rivals cabinet positions. that's leadership. stuart: okay, okay, okay.

look, i read the article. the guy is not going to run for the presidency. he says he wants more social mobility. i'm with him all the way. but i want to hear how he's going to do that. i want growth in this economy. i want educational reform in this economy. i want voucher systems. i want charter schools. >> he's offering free education to his employees. i don't believe see what the candidates are doing -- i don't see what the candidates are doing. they need to articulate tonight on the fox news debate exactly how -- not just throwing out the sound bites. the next question, how are you going to do what you say -- stuart: i'm sure our moderators will ask precisely. >> it's going to be fun. tour stuart liz, will you ever come back? >> what was so bad? [laughter] stuart: thanks so much, liz, appreciate it. listen to this. uber lets you hail a private car. it's supposed to be worth $51 billion, but it is losing hundreds of millions of dollars. we'll have details in a moment. plus, hackers have figured

out a way to hijack any car on the road. exclusive details are next. and it's coming, the big debate tonight. more "very think" in one moment. -- varney in one moment. ♪ ♪

stuart: the missing malaysia airlines plane, one of its windows is thought to have washed up on the island of reunion where a piece of the wing has been found. there's other debris as well that includes foil commonly used on boeing jets that was collected nearby. the debris are is from the missing plane. and this, uber, the app that helps you hail a private car s losing more money than anyone thought. leaked financial documents show it lost $160 million in the first six months of last year, nearly triple the loss of a year early. now this, another car hack exposed. a hacker can get into any car

using some kind of remote-controlled device. but gary fast low's got the details on this. welcome. >> how you doing? stuart: it's a little box, we've been showing it on the screen. this is created by one individual guy that lets him hack into any car of any kind, so he can get into the car and start it up. is that accurate? >> pretty much. he's the guy that hacked onstar last week. basically, it sends a code to the or car. the car has the same code generator as this, so it reads the car, locks the car, then burns that code, can't ever use it again because it's easy to intercept, copy and try to use it. he's created a device that jams the system, copies the code, and then when you're like, oh, that didn't lock, you press it again, now he sends the original code to the car and steals the second code. now he's got a hot code -- >> wow. stuart: it would be awfully difficult to stop happening in the future, wouldn't it?

>> it sounds like it. garage door openers have this system, it's a pretty standard idea. you know, it needs to be tubed or programmed for each -- tuned or programs for each particular type of car or garage door opener but, again, millions of cars use this system. stuart: the original hacking story was when somebody got inside that jeep and deliberately ran it into a ditch. that could be kind of a terrorist tool in the tushfuture. but the -- the future. the hack you're talking about is a thieves' tool, isn't it? >> exactly. stuart: get in, start it and drive off. >> or you can get in and physically hack with the car and get into your garage. this is two different types of security you're dealing with here. and also he didn't say he could start the car, but a lot of these remote keys now have a reemote start function as well. you usually need the key in the car to drive off with it but, again, this is another level of security that could be possibly breached by this concept. stuart: this raises the cost to every car company for security.

because they're all going electronic, heavily electronic these days. they've got to have some kind of way of stopping these hacks. they've got to find a way to do that. it's going to cost them a fortune. >> absolutely. and this is old school technology we're talking about here which you can't easily update. they're basically going to have to redesign the whole system. effort has to go to into this, but once these are out there, criminals are going to be having a pretty easy time getting into -- stuart: did you just say they've got to redesign the whole remote control system? >> it's not the sort of thing you can update with a pleasure drive because -- with a flash drive. again, some of the newer ones may have come up with solutions to this problem, but he hasn't had trouble yet, and he's hacked into some newer cars. stuart: now, you know the car industry, are the car companies nervous about this? >> it just came out, so we'll find out. again, it's not just the car companies, it's the garage door openers, any remote key that's out there, and there's a lot of those on the market right now.

we'll find out later today or tomorrow when he explains more details about the system how scared they really are. stuart: there's a press conference tomorrow? >> he'll be at the hacker conference in vegas. he's going to be talking about this, the onstar hack, every other way people can get into your car -- stuart: wait, wait, wait, a car-hacking village? >> yep. stuart: what exactly is -- >> a place where the hackers are telling you all the ways they've managed to hack into car systems. stuart: these guys are proud of it. >> they are. this is their job. they go out, find holes in systems -- >> do they get hired by the -- >> a lot of them do, that's it. [inaudible conversations] basically, you know, it's advertising for their services. stuart: well, i can understand it. somebody's going to do it. >> they're figuring out before the car companies and the original equipment manufacture ors -- stuart: i suppose we should thank them. >> that's what they'd like. stuart: coming up, disturbing video from a fast food

it was insulting. no president should say such things. here's quote, this is what he did say: those hard liners chanting "death to america," they're making common cause with the republican caucus. president obama was drumming up support for the nuclear deal with iran. that comment was a low point for the presidency. he compared republicans with america's mortal enemies. such a partisan, insulting statement is, at the very least, out of place. especially when dealing with the security threat from the mullahs of iran. what he's doing is desperately trying to line up 34 democrats in the senate and 146 in the house. that would make the iran deal veto-proof. but instead of arguing the merits of the deal, he lowers the presidency with distortion and crude innuendo. he's just done a deal with iran's leaders who have themselves led the "death to america" chorus. and have been killing americans for a generation. and the president of the united states says they're just like

the republicans. the bottom line is this: president obama has poisoned american politics. it'll be a very long recovery. 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?

there isn't a money guy in new york city that i talk to and this is where a lot of the gop people money guys are, they're split between marco rubio, walker to some extent and jeb, that doesn't believe he is doing this to help hillary. to help him and held hillary in the end. they think he is a plant. >> if bill clinton calls the donald trump band says get involved in republican politics that will help hillary. messing up the republican -- >> one by one he goes out and i liked donald but he goes out and beat the hell out of the front runners. he is not directing his ire at ben carson. use erecting his venom that jab, walker, rick perry. rick perry talked about wall in texas between mexico and the u.s. like it is a big stimulus projects. people forget texas doesn't need the stimulus because rick perry has been a pretty good governor. >> tea or point you expect him

at some point to drop off the gop ticket, go independent and hand the victory to hillary? >> my view is it is not that easy to resident independent, ross perot had infrastructure in all 50 states. i don't thing donald will spend his money to do that. >> just a mess up the republican bench, help hillary and dropout? >> he will become bigger and bigger. >> does it help his brand by dropping out? legally drop out if he's losing. >> when you are stuck at 20%, 25% and the other guy gets the rest, you have to drop out. >> we shall see. >> remember what he did is fascinating, billion, get 20 people running, he figures out what other three issues i need to hit on and don't need to explain myself that much that get me 20% of the vote including a lot of crazies, walls between mexico and thus, you name it,

china, isis, a secret plan to destroy isis and gets 20%, he doesn't mince words and then stays in a race for a while. >> when you are totally riderless trumpet wins. >> if he wins, it is full employment for people like me. i am good at reading financial documents. >> i want to get to the debate, they start tonight. i am interested in a candidate who will focus on growing the economy. that is my interest, this is a financial program. i want the economy to grow. liz macdonald, which candidate will give me economic growth? >> ted cruz, marco rubio and rand paul is the club for growth. to get that march is jeb bush, chris christie, donald trump. >> there is such a thing as growth and their priorities grow this economy. three people were marco rubio,

ted cruz. >> host: rand paul, ted cruz has been against obamacare, against regulation, marco rubio and paul want to repeal the tax code, over all the entitlement state, george -- jeb bush grew faster than the rate of inflation and population growth. chris christie backed obamacare's medicaid expansion, donald trump, 1999, tax hikes on the rich, for single payer universal health care system and said in 2004 the economy does better and democrats so that is the word on donald trump. >> you don't think he is up plant. come on. >> which candidate gives me economic growth, not growth. >> in 1999 he says tax the rich, single payer, donald trump. >> he said he was for single payer. >> that one come of tonight in the debate. 5 as another republican candidate or one of the moderators i would say you said this in 1999, you said this in 2004.

what is with this? >> host: trying to catch him in a flip-flop. >> i wonder what he will say. >> host: hillary clinton flip-flops on capital gains tax cuts. use for them in 2008, for them before she was against the. she did say in 2008 she wanted to cut capital gains. >> how dramatic is this? >> has been cut it and that is not as dramatic, these are core republican issues donald trump has been a lefty on. not even a moderate. >> we will launch tonight to see what donald trump says about tax the rich and single payer. >> you are fired. you ask me. >> may i move on? is this, american victims of terror finding a lawsuit to stop the release of frozen iranian bank accounts. they want that money frozen, stay frozen please the president obama admitted some of this

money will go to terror. here's the quote. let's stipulate that some of that money will flow to activities that we object to, groups that threaten our interests and interests of our allies. attorney katie saying joins us now. you are a legal person. they filed this suit, the victims of terror have filed suit saying stop it, don't release that money. is that a successful suit? >> a pretty impressive group of plaintiffs' attorneys, 20 plaintiffs bringing this lawsuit, trying to stop between one hundred to $150 billion from being released from blocked and restricted accounts overseas. less state department release a statement saying we don't have any control levers these funds, these are from iran's oil sands, we have no control of these funds so sorry but remember they are going up against the biggest law firm in the world, the federal government so the best of luck of them to stop the

federal government from releasing these funds. >> plaintiffs are saying because this money, because the iranians have said the president has said that some of this money will go to activities the we don't like, that would be terror, the plaintiffs are saying you can't release this money because it is going to these activities. we will be even further victimize if you do this. that is their case i take it? >> yes indeed is a compelling argument because they have very sympathetic background stories as to why they were able to recover these multimillion-dollar judgments but the reality is the president has to certify is that iran will no longer be at terror state and you know he cannot do that because he just said some of the money is going to go to support terrorism so he is stuck between a rock and a hard place but ultimately this reminds me of the 2008 libyan normalization process where as a part of that process libya had to pay terror victims from lockerbie and the other incidents in order to

achieve normalization so if we are on our road that we with iran but remember libya is junior varsity compared to iran in terms of recalcitrance and difficulties so maybe that will happen. >> come back and see as again because i want to know how this lawsuit is progressing. i want to know if this money will be released and go to terror. i am interested in that. thank you for joining us, we appreciate that. time for the sector report, energy stocks leading this market lower, they are the worst performance as a group within the s&p 500 right now, we're talking will, gas, pipeline companies, all of them in the red. that is a reaction to the sharply lower price of oil, we are down to $44 a barrel. that would be roughly 4.5 month low, $44.55 as we speak, all the way down from the $60 of their range about a month and a half ago, way down. now look at fitch bit down big,

quarter in a eight year history of the companies are really proud of that accomplishment. but it is strange. our guidance and wall street consensus as well. >> by my calculation you lost, you personally have lost $100 million today. that does make you a victim i think. >> i don't think about it that way. that is pretty short term for me. i am focused on execution of long-term prospects for business. >> you don't look terribly disappointed. i am surprised. you turn in record earnings that are terrific and stock goes down big. >> all we can do is execute and perform really well. we can't really control what the public markets do but i am pretty sure if we continue to perform shareholders will be happy. >> jo lin kent is with me, she knows more about this tonight is on will turn it over to you. >> i wanted to ask about sales, you had $4 million devices sold

the expectation level we see that stuart varney was talking about especially in the holiday season when we see updates on other types of devices. can fit bid delivery? will you have new products? what will they look like? >> we are not setting guidance on any new products but on our earnings call yesterday we raised our guidance for the full year and all we can do is continue to execute on the business as we have in the past. >> james park, thanks for joining us. $100 million, still smiling. check the share price of yelp, they are expanding. now instead of just looking up reviews for restaurants you can look up which hospital has the shortest wait time at the emergency room. what is this all about? >> this makes up 6% of their review businesses and they believe this is the information people really want to know so they started with a nonprofit

group and they get the average wait time many ares, they studied 4600 hospitals, 15,000 nursing homes to see which nursing home 7 find recently, 6,300 dialysis clinics, people on dialysis, how many received infections and had to be hospitalized. they believe this is information people want because this is public information you can get and hard to sift through and they will do it in one go. >> host: the free market health reform we want, doctors and hospitals to publish online their prices for all their procedures. they don't do that right now. if we had that going to you would see a boom and prices dropping. we see that what i surgery. >> that is good. field is opening the door on information dispersal what we really want. >> yell could use the help on this. >> we can too. look at this for a second. you are about to look at the dark side of the moon.

stuart: the words criminal, investigation, fbi, and hillary clinton are now used in the same sentence. that's how serious this e-mail scandal has become. as secretar secretary of state, she used a private server to conduct foreign policy and destroyed 30,000 e-mails on this system. did you hear about this? if you watched the established media, you did not. think about that. the front run running democrat is involved in a criminal investigation and the media ignores it. if there's ever a time when the media has shown it's true leftist colors, this is it.

it reminds me in 2008 when the media ignored obama's own pastor. now, just for a moment, think what the reaction would be if it were a republican contender who were involved in a criminal investigation. the republican would be pounded daily, hourlily until they were driven out of the race. the left spent months talking about traffic on a bridge to go after governor chris christie. yet again the elites are letting us down. the media is not doing its job and that is deliberate, in my opinion, they want to republican in the white house and they will do anything to make sure even a bad democrat gets in. ♪ ♪ . stuart: all right. let's get right at it. you heard what i had to say on my take, come in, please, wall street journal editor dan.

if it was a republican candidate anywhere near a criminal investigation, they would be out of the race. they would be resigning e-mailed but not hillary. what is going on here, dan? >> well, hillary is the terminator of democratic politics. she's just going to keep going and also the democrats have no plan b unless you think bernie sanders could be elected president of the united states. so they're locked in. and, you know, they do have a problem now. i have been saying for weeks, stuart, that all of this negative information about the e-mails and the foundation has had expressive -- would have a expressive effect on hillary bets extended by social media. more people find out about it. and, man, these head-to-head polls came out last week of her against bush, walker, and rubio in ohio, colorado, and virginia. she's losing to all of them on the basis of trust and integrity. she's down below 40% in these three important battleground states. so the democrats have thought

to be really nervous and now this fbi investigation -- her candidacy is getting no altitude at all. stuart: got it now, you write in your comment today in the wall street journal, the republicans, this is the big race to lose. >> yeah. stuart: your message basically don't mess it up. >> yeah. stuart: i think you actually say don't screw it up if i'm not minimum of. >> don't blow it. stuart: thank you. in what way could they screw it up? >> by picking, nominating a candidate who cannot win the presidency in 2016. stuart: you talking trump? >> i think conceivably trump because he does not have the professional political skills to put it across the goal line. i think he's -- a force now but i don't think he can win. and the stakes for winning are so crucial in this election. look, people forget that in 2010 after barack obama passed the affordable care act and

done frank swept into the office in 2010, the democrats were sent into minority status in the house. a republican tsunami has built across the country at every level of government. the number of state legislative seats, the democrats have lost since obama became president is over 900. the guy has been a looser for them and now the election of 2014, the republicans put nine new members into the senate, they control the senate, they control the house and now the final prize is the presidency in 2016 so that they can control all branches of government, at least the legislative and the presidency and get something done. but you have to win. . stuart: and it's exceptionally important because if you really want to reverse course and change the direction of the country, away from barack obama's direction, you've got to win the white house. >> you have to control the presidency, the senate, and the house. then you have about 24 months to reverse much of what obama

has done. if you fail to do that, it's going to be gridlocked for another four years. stuart: you've studied economics very, very closely. do you think it is reversible in the first couple of years out of the box? can you just reverse obamacare? can you reverse the iran nuke deal? can you reverse this mediocre performance of the economy? >> i do, stuart, think a lot of this can be fixed because people are in place in the house in housewares mean tact, paul ryan, the head of the finance economy and to do, in georgia, three strong people who are ready to go to take on the process of reserving the affordable care act and redoing the tax code. there's a reason for optimism, but people have to focus what's important in these candidates and try to pick someone who they think can beat hillary clinton. stuart: i love him for saying

donald trump can beat hillary clinton. >> that is a long shot. stuart: okay. dan, wall street journal. thank you very much, sir. check that big board, please. we're coming back a little bit. disney is a drag, is coming off its biggest drop in four years, that was yesterday's session and it's down again today. another 4% lower for disney. that takes about 30, 35 points off the dow industrial average. and then we have green mountain. sales down, forecast down, these are the people who make the single serving coffee machine. far cry from december. 53 now. far cry for december. it was at 160. ouch. fitbit. they did not meet analyst expectations. oh, don't do that. they had a wonderful quarter, great profits but the stock is down 12%. don't miss those expectations. and tesla, they're not making as many cars as they were expected to make.

yet elon musk says the future looks good. who wants to take off on that one? just look at the stock. down 26% -- dollars. 10%. >> what i thought was so interesting with tesla they're saying the cost, operating up. things that are costing more business they're trying to make the jobs good for him. but the projections for the sales number for the year, down. we're not going to sell as many teslas and at the end of the day you can make a great car but gas is cheap and . stuart: i'm paying 2.30 a gallon in new jersey. >> yeah. stuart: for regular. why should i go out and buy an electronic car. >> an expensive one? . stuart: for $100,000? why should i do that? i'll never get my money back. >> uh-huh. stuart: on the subject as we look at the price of oil, i believe it's just below 45? yeah, 44, 48 on oil right now. it's down again. and because of this decline

this oil, you've got the decline in gas. 2.62 is the national average. and get this. gas buddy.com, the guy there is patrick. he says eight states will see their average price drop below $2 a gallon by the end of next month. that will be by the end have september. below $2 in eight states. now, there's a headline. come on in. shark report, steven shark joins us. don't be such a stranger in the future and don't get technical with me because we've got a buzzer ready to go. now, i think you -- >> got it. stuart: okay. that was my preamble here. where's the price of oil going? below $40? >> yes. i think at this point we're right now about $2 away from testing the lows that we saw back in february. but we're at a point of season, stuart, where demand is about to peek. we're going into the weakest now demand section of the year, that will be the fall.

so certainly i do like oil prices low. i do think we will break the $40 a barrel and test maybe down into the low 30s by the end of this year. stuart: now, our feeling here is that you get the price of oil down and then ultimately you get the price of gasoline down and we've got all these headlines here about eight states going below $2 by the end of september. if you're saying that oil's got a further down to go, i presume you're agreeing with some of our analysts on this program who say, yeah, gasoline is going below $2. do you agree with that? >> well, absolutely. and regardless of the fact even if crude oil does not even move any further at this point, gasoline prices will certainly head lower because in four weeks we'll be at labor day. so we'll be at the peek of the holiday driving season and demand will fall off at the first week of september. and then the second week of september, we start to blend for a different type of glass, a winter grade of gasoline, and that will occur until november. so the gasoline we are going

to be putting into our tanks will be cheaper for the industry to manufacturer. so you always get a 15 to 20-cent gallon discount when you get into the ladder half of september. so right now, yes, those eight states will certainly see gasoline prices lower, even if crude oil prices stay where they are. now, if i'm correct and crude oil prices do head down into the 30s, then prices are going to be significantly lower, and you're going to see more than eight states with below $2 glass in this fall. stuart: steven, i don't want to rain on the parade, but i'm going to show you this headline, it says saudi arabia is borrowing $27 billion because they're short on money because of low oil prices. that would imply that they'll try to get prices up a little bit. what do you think of that? >> i disagree with that. and i maintain the standpoint that saudi arabia wants low oil prices because they need to have low oil prices. now, where i disagree with a lot of people, people will say that saudi is trying to fight

producers in north america to knock out the shell industry. i say "no" they cannot do that because they cannot compete with shell. but the saudis are in a very difficult position right now because the white house has now given iran a free pass to develop a nuclear weapon. and iran's wmb abusing satellite will have access to that weapon. so we're talking about the entire power structure of the middle east shifting away from sunni arab to iran. so the saudis cannot afford to allow, they will not allow, they will not fund k ran's ambitions to build a nuclear weapon. so two things company. even this is a nuclear war and they have to keep pressure on the iranians, and they can go to the debt market and do this and they will be well received in those markets because the iranians can't do this. they want to keep the pressure up because it's clear now that the saudis do not have a

friend and the valley ease do not have a friend with regard to iran in this white house. stuart: steven, with a forecast like that, you can come back any time you like. thank you very much indeed, steven, and interesting stuff. we appreciate it. >> cheers. stuart: look at apple. it has signed up 11 million people to apple music. another statistic for you. they brought in $1.7 billion to the appstore in one month alone. 1.7billion in july. those are big numbers. the stock is flat though. and harry has streaming music help bring his songs to a whole new generation of fans? we'll bring you that at 1:50 this morning. and we have some new video from the show of deadliest catch. they were out at sea during this past february's super bowl, and they had this

reaction at the end of the game. >> no. what? >> this guy interaccepted the ball. >> why did they throw it? why had they throw it? oh, my god. >> oh, my god. >> that reminds me, out at sea, they're in the bearing straights looking for crab. what happened? >> you know what? that reaction was as well the same across america and across the world. exactly the same moment. even if you were watching it on tv you couldn't believe it. it was down at the end zone there, we all expected it was going to go to lynch, if i was going to run the ball in, they through it instead, the patriots won the super bowl, they're out in the middle of the bearing sea. >> i was at that game. i was at the super bowl, and i was sitting next to two

seattle fans. i mean talk about pain and disgust. >> still in therapy. >> the whole stadium looking at each other, like, did that happen? . stuart: and yesterday we asked the question is apple boring? well, there's nothing boring about selling $1.7 billion worth of stuff from apps in just one month. full details in a moment. one of our producers, i'm not going to name him yesterday yeth. yet. he said apple is becoming boring. >> yeah. it kind of has. i mean they haven't -- oh, wow another iphone, oh, yay it's thinner. 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?

stuart: fitbit share price down again this morning, despite reporting strong earnings. so what's all the fitbit hype about? cheryl got a chance to look at

it, watch this. >> well, i'm going to do some running here in central park in new york city, but i brought in an expert to tell me if the fitbit actually works. >> how do you feel? >> good. >> what does it say your heart rate is 158. let me see what i get. it's 1a, yeah, about the same. >> how do you feel about it? >> you know, i really like it because it measures a lot of things we really need to know about. does it motivate you? >> uh-huh. >> yeah. it kind of does. >> all right, cheryl, you're now a live in-person with us,. >> with my fitbit. so that's the fitbit we borrowed from the company, and this is my personal one i wear every day. and, yes, the numbers were good. but the question mark that both of you have raised to me, and we databased this a bit is is it a fad and are you only going to set cell to a certain part of the population with the rest of the population

won't even care? and i think that's where the wearable technology advice in the industry -- stuart: and your answer is? >> i'm still a fitbit fan, i don't have five different bracelets in different colors, but am i the one person out of 20? are there going to be more consumers after me. stuart: and for how long will you use it? you obviously have not put it away in a couple of months. >> well, i'm going to live to be 100. did internal revenue tell you that? . stuart: news flash. >> breaking news. i'm going to be 100. stuart: here's a news flash for you. apple. the stocks have had a rough time lately. one of my producers called the company boring. whoa that set off a firestorm. i don't know if there's anything boring about those. apple hit a record # $.7 billion in july. do you think apple is boring

at all by any chance? >> i can't agree that apple is entirely boring. listen there. yes, they haven't had made a breakout hit like an iphone recently, but this year alone, they announced the apple watch, they're working on this autonomous cars, and apple music is taking a lot of people away from the spotify streaming service that so many people had fled apple for and bringing them back around. so i wouldn't call apple boring quite yet. stuart: $1.7 billion in appstore transactions. is that mostly games? it certainly seems to me normal. $1.7billion is greater than the gdp of half a dozen companies if not more. i think that's an enormous amount of money. >> it's an enormous amount of money and a lot of it is coming from those who are purchasing music. yes, app purchases will continue to increase as more and more people create apps senate bill, have the inapp purchases and they will have to pay apple for those inapp

purchases. and the big thing is music and apple clearly with apple music is going to continue to increase those subscriber numbers. they want to get to 100 million subscribers in the years ahead. stuart: but they can't make as much money out of apple music as they could with a break through new product and the watch does not appear to be at this point the breakthrough new product. >> i would agree with that. though, i will say one of the things that i think makes people think that apple is boring is the fact that their m and dad is now using apple. but that's a good thing for apple. the more they can get into corporate organizations where they're switching it out for blackberries, that's something that makes them a little bit more boring, but a little bit more mainstream and a lot more money in the years ahead. stuart: i just wonder if the whole idea of wearables is that big of a deal? i'm beginning to suspect it's not. and last word to you. >> i don't know if i agree with that, stuart, we'll have

to see. but, though, they didn't release the apple watch numbers, they'll have a lot of momentum. and, again, i'm one of the fitbit wearers and have worn it for over a year and a half, so i believe. we'll see what happens. stuart: okay. i'll back right off. >> it's the women that are wearing their fit bits. that's why we're going to live longer than you. stuart: well, you do anyway. >> we do that's true. but, again, we'll see. >> what douse about stuart and i? . stuart: all right. all right. now report from the senate on the irs scandal. did lois intentionally target conservative groups? gerri willis has an answer for us in a moment. and later this hour, is streaming music hurting the music industry? 1:50 he's on the show.

. stuart: they make ritz crackers, there's a whole raft of stuff that they make. and billionaire is making a big bet on it. he's put in $5.5 billion into

that company. he either wants it taken over or broken up for sale. stock's not moving. dead flat added 46.23. a report released capitol hill. assessing the irs lowest learner. gerri willis is here. what is the verdict? >> gross mismanagement. dysfunctional bureaucracy. they were deliberating, some of which were held for five years. some employees worked from home four out of five days of the week. other managers managed people who were 2,000 miles away. some managers weren't trained in the area where they were supposed to be experts in and managed. so big problems not culture of the place allows someone like lois to see that through. . stuart: but we knew this.

we knew they were incompetent, and we knew they were pressuring conserve groups. but we what did we really wanted from that report was who told them to do it. >> so in the republican comments to that report, do you remember from the decision from the supreme court, the president had that decision in 2010 said it could have free speech with their decision in america. that's what the supreme court said. weeks after they cascaded that decision, they started holding back and made new rules for the tea party. the department of justice discusses bringing criminal charges against this group. the federal election commission investigators these tea party organizations. so maybe the president didn't pick up the phone. maybe, maybe he didn't have to. stuart: because the pressure that he'd exerted made the irs do what it does did.

very interesting. gerri thank you very much indeed. >> you're welcome. stuart: a live look at cleveland ohio, please, everyone is watching as donald trump could be getting some support from an unlikely ally. will comments like this help trump score the union vote? >> they can't get jobs because there are no jobs because china has our jobs and mexico has our jobs. they all have also jobs when a moment spontaneously turns romantic, why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms

stuart: this is the low of the day, the dow industrial is down 115, and disney is down again. 4%. look at oil. lowest since march the 29th. look at the price of gas. only 2 -- only 2.62 a gallon. down another penny overnight. in fact, it has gone down 22 straight days. now this. rand paul is taking on the nsa, the irs, and the federal reverse. he was once a top contender. heading into tonight's debate, he's polling near the middle of the pack. only got 5% of the vote. former rand paul staffer joining me now. brian, what went wrong? what happened? rand paul high flier now he's not. what happened? >> well, i think one of the problems he's had is he led in with high expectations.

he was declared the most interesting man in politics by time magazine, and he was doing really well early on by the race even started. now he's come back to a place where it's not that bad of a place to be, he's on the debate stage, pulling between 5 and 6%, could be doing better, but i think it's a marathon, not a spring. and we're just getting started. this is the first real interaction that the candidates are going to have. so the campaign starts today. stuart: could it be that the public did not like his stand on the nsa? he doesn't want surveillance? and he wants all the records in which we've collected so far to be destroyed, even though we've got terror actions in the united states, which were linked to overseas and phone calls and messages from overseas? i don't think the public liked his nsa stance. >> i think the opposite. i think they did. i think the american people treasure the fourth amendment right. the fact that the american

people have a privacy right and the government can't suck up all of your phone call data. i do think he's going to have a challenge because he's going to be fighting with a lot of these other candidates and national security issues on the privacy issue and on some other general issues too. but i think on that issue, he's with the american people because the american people we want to go after the bad guys. let's dedicate resources to getting on the alleged terrorist, not all americans. don't sweep up everybody's phone records because privacy is very important. it's a core valley. stuart: i don't think you're right. i think the public reacted against his nsa imaginary. we're going to disagree on that one. who are you with now if you were a former rand paul, who are you with now? >> i'm 100% in the tank with rand paul. i think second would be jeb bush. i think it's fascinating who it's all going to play out today, and i'm just excited to be here. stuart: yeah, what do you think of trump?

>> i think he's doing great. i think you hear a lot of -- i'm worried about the protectionist talk. i understand him beating up on chairman of the board and our competitors in mexico, but i worry it's going to turn off people that treasure the free market and the fact that, you know, he's pulling 26%. he's doing really great. so you have donald trump on the rise and hillary clinton not doing well at all. stuart: well, said. brian, thanks for joining us. we appreciate you being here. thank you. i want to stay on tonight's main attraction. the debate, but the main attraction i see is donald trump. as president, he says he'll bring jobs back to the united states from china. joining me now democratic strategist and former union worker chuck. you've got to like trump for what he's saying about bringing jobs back to america. you've got to like the guy. >> well, there's a lot of things about him i don't like. but that one piece that i think a lot of people are feeling a lot of frustration and that's why you see a lot of rise with him, with bernie sanders, they're all talking

about the same thing. and when you're talking about bringing jobs back to america, there's a lot of lunch pail middle of the road voters who that's music to their ears. stuart: yeah, sure. i just heard you mention bernie sanders. are you with bernie sanders? you want him to win? or are you a clintonian? >> well, i haven't decided who i'm with right now. i love the debate. stuart: are you kidding me? you haven't decided just yet? are you kidding me? >> well, it is early. it's a marathon like your other guy just said. stuart: do you have a preference? >> i have a preference that's going to return the job that i lost and that's goodnight i want to be with. stuart: is it hillary clinton? >> it may be bernie sanders. stuart: i said is it hillary clinton? >> you're not going to get it out of me today, but i love the good faith effort. stuart: well, we're mentioning very closely to you and you have not mentioned hillary in any positive sense.

address this for me. she has a real problem here with the fbi criminal investigation into her use of e-mails and what she did with them, where she kept them. that's a very serious thing. you've got to be worried about the front runner for the democratic nomination. you've got to be worried. >> i think there are a lot of people that are concerned. i think this is a white noise that if you see this constant flow of all of this information that's coming out over and over, and i think you're seeing it in the numbers overall. and what i found interesting is a political consultant this week is there's a $2 million buy going up about a really great story about a woman who is her mother, and that tells me me they're trying to prop her back up and make sure people know her entire story so we're not talking about e-mails, more did you say trust now that they say her favorables are upside down. stuart: would you prefer joe biden? >> i think that there's a lot of good room out there for democrats. i love joe biden, i'm never going to bet against him. stuart: so you're inviting others to join in the race because you perceive hillary clinton to be in trouble.

i'm reading between the lines, chuck. >> you can read all you want to believe. the more people in, it's good for my business and your open market. what you're doing is opening up the market, societies good for me. right now we've only talked about one thing. so let's have everyone in and have a great debate about it. stuart: okay., chuck, we do hear you. and thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you, varney. stuart: sure. we'll be wrapping up all the debate action tomorrow morning on "varney & company." but that's not the only good news coming up. the big jobs report for july. 8:30 eastern, that's when they come out. special coverage jobs in america starts tomorrow morning 8:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox business network. and now this. tom the billionaire environmentalist. he wants to fire california's high gas prices and believe me, they're high. and he is it is not believing the green ease. >> no. he's wanting the california legislature to explain what their profits

are -- it is refiners. >> on these high gas prices. let us not forget the state regulations are the biggest reason why these gas prices are so high and why are they there? because the environmentalists, the green ease. stuart: you have to have a serb certain blend in california. >> yeah. stuart: so you have to have a special refinery in california. >> they also have had a refinery fire and a strike and the tax of california. the thing is a slippery slope because you can't tell me that those in california isn't being spent happily by legislatures. stuart: it's just -- >> no. way. stuart: trying to get around the problem that he and his green powers have created. >> yes. stuart: the high price of gasoline has nothing to do with refining oil prices, greeny regulations. >> uh-huh. stuart: which tom is all about. you look skeptical. why. >> well, i think the blend is a big issue, that of course

is, yes, an environmental issue for the state of california. nice clean air in california, i'm not going to a couple, i enjoyed it, i used to live there. but at the same time -- >> tax environment. >> yeah. again, the tax environment in california is my big issue with all of this stuart: suffice to say tom is wrong. up next a 92-year-old woman registers to vote for the first time. she wants to cast a ballot for donald trump. she called into the fox business show intelligent report yesterday. shedding a surprise. trish is coming up to tell us about the big surprise this allergy season, will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicines alone.

>> the dow jones industrial down for the 6th day in the row, right now down 120 points and lost nearly three-quarters of one%. the nasdaq down 1.6% and the s&p off 17 points. take a look at some of these names, all these names started in red this morning. they are squeezing out some green here. gold corp. up 3. it%. exxon up 1%. and chevron hitting a 52-week low now up this morning. and look at plant fitness, by the crowd who is down to 13.75. down over 10% but right now virtually plat the flat 11 cents. and in the midst of earning season, godaddy, marathon, all down arrows after the quarterly reports, and you can see brinkers down 5.6%.

we want you to start your day every day right here on fox business. sandra smith more in

stuart: will you look at tesla? plummeting this morning. there's some concern that the electronic car maker might not turn a profit when it's supposed to. financial group founder ron is here. now, we were talking during the commercial break. i hate to exclude the audience, but we were talking privately there. you're a great believer in

elon musk, aren't you? and you bought the stock for yourself. >> just for myself. this is not a client investment for us. most of our clients are retired, soon to retired, the emotion is just too high. but if you have a long term view and you can believe in people like steve jobs, thomas edison, i believe this man has the ability. stuart: you're putting him in the same -- putting elon musk in the same category as edison and jobs? >> i think if you look at what he's done with the space company, with this, they have just introduced a tesla option that is 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and goes 300 miles. stuart: that's a fast car. >> it's whip lash. all i'm saying is there is a future. if you're willing to ride then, then fine. but as a company, it's not exactly a riskless bet. stuart: i think the bet on tesla is that battery factory will really be revolutionary

because that's the answer to everything. if you could store electronic power that you created from the sun or the wind, you've got yourself a winner. do you think that battery thing, plant is a winner? >> well, this is the thing about elon musk. of course it's a huge bet. stuart: yeah. >> an enormous bet. but if it works, it changes a good part of the world. but you understand that it's not just tesla but toyota and gm. it's possible that everybody will go into his manufacturing plant. stuart: if that happens. >> then you took your bet, and you made some -- you made a lot of money. stuart: tell me about green mountain. single serve -- now you're -- now he's saying. down 29% or $22. you do not like it? >> you know when management disappoints, then analysts go running for the hills. so there's -- that's number one. they've been promising this cold soda stream competitor, and it just haven't delivered on it. stuart: that's the problem.

>> yeah. that's a big problem. cup sales are down, lots of competition, unit sales are down. there are good parts to this. number one they're down so fa. stuart: yeah. >> so now gross stock became a value stock relatively speaking. so 14 times earnings before this so maybe it's i don't know 11 times earnings now. stuart: would you advice clients who are retiring. >> no. but coca-cola has a 16% stake in it now. so they just bought the best distribution system of any product on the plant. so there's reasons to look out there and say, you know, they may be -- they may come out of this. and they bought back a billion dollars worth of stock. stuart: well, we hear what you're saying on tesla, thank you for about being with us. >> my pleasure. stuart: now, yesterday we told you about the 92-year-old lady who registered to vote so she could cast her ballot for donald trump.

trish got both the woman and donald trump to get on the show yesterday. >> i want to thank you so much. >> well, i appreciate. i tell you what, i appreciate the man for this country. and i hope and pray you'll do what you said and they are to get rid obama a long time ago because he hasn't done nothing. >> you have no complaints. you have many people out there that are agreeing. stuart: i think she talked over donald trump. >> she's the one that could get away with that. stuart: trish, that was great television. well done. >> she was lovely. wonderful woman. in the beginning she had a little bit of a hard time hearing and someone else there with her who would repeat the questions, but she got with it. and by the time donald trump called into that show, she was pretty darn excited. stuart: so you had to carry the interview with the lady and wait for donald trump to call in. >> yes. he joined probably

about three minutes in. and she was very excited, and he said, look, i want to thank you fox business support, vitae, and it was a nice moment. and we talked about the debate and how he's preparing. but this is what he's tapping into, stuart. women like that, people like that who are saying i've never been enthusiastic about politics before but all of a sudden along comes this guy donald trump and i'm excited. stuart: i wonder how many votes she encouraged for donald trump last night. by the way, trish has much more on tonight's debate. she's going to be taking a look at the texas id law that's discriminatory, and are all government workers required to show a id before they vote? 2:00 p.m., that will be on the fox business network. >> thank you, stuart,. stuart: and waiting for all

morning, ledged european musician howard casey, i remember him. live on the second just a moment why should over two hundred years of citi history matter to you? well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these,

and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours.

now. stuart: wow you've got a young audience? >> absolutely. stuart: seven out of ten of your audience is tuning into your music dare i say it, 30 years old. >> or older. stuart: or older. so streaming opens it up to a big broad audience. >> yes. stuart: what does it do for you? do you make any money? >> it's a limited amount as compared to what we get. it's definitely a big difference and there's been a lot of up are you aware about it. stuart: a lot of the money has been taken out of music. >> yes. stuart: since you no longer have to buy vinyl and all the rest of it. streaming is cheap and -- it's just taken the bucks out of it. >> right. yes. stuart: what are you going to do about it? >> well, i don't know. i know some of the other artists have been soliciting congress and everyone else to try to get this changed. i think bmi just won a suit against pandora to increase the streaming rights. i'm not sure what's going to

happen. it is our living and a lot of people think maybe we get too much as it is, but it's pitie. stuart: you get too much? >> the streaming is less than pennies. stuart: you don't get much from streaming. you've got to pay an agent or two. >> yes. stuart: and a lawyer or two. >> yes. stuart: and you've got to pay the government 50%. >> i end up with 10% of what i make. stuart: . stuart: how do you like it? >> i don't like it all at all. i wish i would have became a basketball player. stuart: you're am i size. wouldn't work. >> or football or something. stuart: tomorrow 7:00 you're going to be performing on 8th street. >> yes. stuart: come on down and listen to casey and the sunshine band. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. stuart: more varney in just one moment hard? working 24/7 on mobile trader, rated #1 trading app in the app store.
