9:00 am
35%. small businesses don't have those tricks, they do pay that rate. . dagen: happy mother's day to jack, joni, stuart over to you. stuart: you can spin this any way you like, hard truth is, this economy isn'ting do that well, is it? this is not pretty. 160,000 jobs created last month and this is tied into the slowing economy. america is by no means working flat-out. the participation rate all the way down to 62%, not good. reaction, stocks down and interest rates, whoa, way down. politics, the republican split over donald trump, the bushes, john mccain, mitt romney against him and speaker ryan can't support him yet, but unity negotiations have begun. trump says this morning, remember, i'm the guy who brought millions to the republican party. no unity for democrats, hundreds of bernie supporters
9:01 am
rally against hillary in los angeles. the mexican flag made an appearance among demonstrators. question, could hillary lose the california primary next month? look at this, turning into a catastrop catastrophe, an entire town burned down. 25,000 trapped, a rescue airlift has begun for them. getting out of fort mcmurray in canada's oil country is now genuinely hazardous. and cameras are everywhere capturing that real drama. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ all right. here we go, everybody. it looks like we're going to be down on the opening bell today. that's because of that very weak jobs report. we only had 160,000 new jobs created, but look at this, please. this is the yield on 10-year treasuries.
9:02 am
that's an interest rate. that's a key interest rate. it's a barometer of how we feel about the market, the economy going forward. all the way down to 173. now, on the market, the stock market, there are two, we'll call them former tech darlings which are going to be way down on the opening bell today. the first one is gopro. what's happening. ashley: not good. basically they beat on revenue, but the bad news for go-pro, called a one-trick pony is expectations for drone product, the drone camera. they're pushing back the release of this again. people say already late to the drone party and now you're pushing back and too much hanging on one product as well. that's a concern of analysts and gopro getting hit hard. down 77% in the last year and they're going to start lower today. stuart: so it was at 93-- >> 2014 it was at 93.85. stuart: it was a darling. ashley: not too much now.
9:03 am
stuart: how about fireeye, that's way down? >> it is, it's a cyber security company. issuing weaker guidance than expected and put those two together and that happens to the stock. we had a change at the top. the ceo replacing dave dewalt who is out. all of that combining to go lower. stuart: two tech darlings down today. the report affecting the markets. frankly it wasn't say big, only 160,000 jobs created. that means a down trend that matches the down trend from the economy. i don't know why we're showing pictures of president obama, but he popped up right there. what i want to see is austan goolsbee. former advisor to president obama and there's the graphic, recovery roadblock. welcome to the program, good to see you again. >> great to see you. stuart: here is what worries me, we can't do much to arrest this slowdown in the economy in the short-term.
9:04 am
we may want to invest in educational infrastructure, it's not going to happen short-term. and there's not much the fed can do, that's what worries me. mou -- how do we arrest in the immediate future this downturn into the economy. >> that worries me, too. it's not a-- it's mediocre, but we're growing in the 2% range it's a bit of a no man's land and we can't rely on any other country to give us a boost because they're doing worse and add on top of it, the market's got a lot of fear and uncertainty coming from the donald trump nomination, we're going to get a lot of political uncertainty going into november. i was a little worried about this whole thing as well. stuart: do you think the market might be worried about a bernie sanders nomination for the democrats? that's frightening to investors now, isn't it? >> i'm sure it would scare them a lot.
9:05 am
i think anybody who looks at the delegate math or knows anything about that realizes that's extremely unlikely. stuart: now, president obama back in 2012, he promised to deliver 1 million new manufacturing jobs. well, as of right now, he's about 600,000 short of that. this goes back to the political argument about how we create well-paid, high-paying jobs. it doesn't look like it's working at the moment, does it? >> well, i'd be a little careful saying that, stuart. as you know, we've added 9 million jobs over the course of this recovery, they haven't been as many added in manufacturing as they have been in health care and business services and i think almost certainly, that's for the twin punches of the dollar going way up and china, europe and emerging markets going down the tubes, so, a lot of our manufacturing's for export and we haven't had that much demand.
9:06 am
stuart: one fast one, i've not got the yield on the 10-year, 1.73%, it suggests that the economy really is slowing down. are you prepared to say that we're not slowing down so much that we'll get a recession? will you, you know, relieve our anxiety? >> you know, i wish i could, but i haven't. as you know, i always try to be completely realistic. you cannot rule out, given what's happening in the rest of the world, there's at least, 20, 30% chance that the united states could go into a recession. this is actually a very long-lived recovery that we've had. i think the third longest ever, since we've had the data. so, eventually we will have a recession and the worse the rest of the world gets, the more likely for the u.s. stuart: all right, we did three and a half minutes without me once accusing you of being the architect of this economic disaster. i think we did quite well today, actually. happy friday, young man. >> we always have a good time, stuart.
9:07 am
stuart: we try. austan, thank you, indeed. we'll see you soon. thanks. get to politics, look at this, please, hundreds protesting hillary clinton in east los angeles last night. she was celebrating cinco de mayo among protesters, mexican flags featured prominently again. most of the demonstrators were pro bernie sanders. some of the signs read never hillary. and tammy bruce is here, i'll get to my pet peeve, the waving of foreign flags, i'll get to that in a second. what do you think, could hillary lose the california primary? >> she could. bernie sanders had such a great run it's not unconceivable. in 2008 she beat barack obama in all the major states like california. as a matter of fact, in that primary in 2008, i voted for barack obama. she took that state. and at this point, the polls are wild. a few weeks ago they were within single digits of each other, now some polls have them double digits away, but when it
9:08 am
comes to even with the ones he's won, bernie sanders, like with indiana, he doesn't really get a delegate edge. in california over 50 of the 73 superdelegates that are available there have already pledged to hillary. so, no matter what happens, your agoing to see bernie sanders in a difficult business. he's running ads in spanish, being-- bill clinton has been campaigning for her there, there's hollywood money, but we see her stumble. we know that the fbi dynamic is hovering, so anything is possible. stuart: i don't think those mexican flags will drive voters too bernie sanders, they'll drive them to donald trump. >> many in california may stay home because of the condition of that state. stuart: i've got to move to london. we don't cover london much. but london is on the verge of electing its first muslim mayor. i'm told that 50% of some london neighborhoods are muslim.
9:09 am
>> one in four muslims in england and wales are under 10 years old. khan is by all accounts 10% of zack goldsmith his opponents. it looks like saadiq khan will replace the mayor. stuart: on the local level across britain. the fate of the far left labor party is up for grabs. ashley: it is. they didn't do well. didn't do as badly as expected. they tripped badly in scotland, the conservatives in the middle, but the british independence party, right wing, picked up some seats along the way as well. kind of reflects the sentiment. stuart: yeah, all right. moving on. we have news for you on another incremental development in the hillary e-mail scandal. the fbi has interviewed some of her closest aides, including long time advisor huma abedin.
9:10 am
it's an incremental movement, i've got it. it seems it's moving thick and fast and moving ahead. is it crunch time for hillary? >> they've been interviewing the aides and everyone is cooperating. they're working the fbi, with the campaign schedule to figure out to time to interview her, but they've interviewed brian pagliano, and he pled the fifth and now testifying under immunity. >> and who is fudging the truth and the nature of who made the decisions and we'll find out soon the decision. stuart: i don't think they can get around this by dismissing it. >> either way it will be a scandal. stuart: look at this, it's spacex landing a rocket successfully again. it was on the way down or went up, came back down and landed for the second time.
9:11 am
managed to land with the rocket upright without toppling over, that's a success for spacex again. >> you know what that effects? everybody who can't park properly in their parking space and they're landing on a boat in the middle of the ocean, that's hot. that's hot. stuart: and trump as in donald trump, trying to unite the g.o.p. behind him. several leading republicans refuse to go along with it. i say this is a flexible, i'm sorry, a fixable problem. what do you think? more on this in a moment. >> accusing the most honorable guy in the race of all kinds of dishonesty, goes after his father, goes after lee harvey oswald, as a christian, if he apologizes, i will forgive him and come on board. poor mouth breather.
9:12 am
allergies? stuffy nose? can't sleep? take that. a breathe right nasal strip instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight, mouthbreathers. breathe right.
9:13 am
9:14 am
>> hey, take a look at square. that's the mobile payments company. down today.
9:15 am
bad news for jack dorsey, not only is twitter near new lows, the other company that he got a hold of, that's plummeting, too. ashley: mr. dorsey had a double whammy of the blues. and posting another loss, but is raising 2016 guidance. they're not exactly cheering investors. by the way, a 180 day lockup period on square that expires may 16th which could have an impact on the share prices. stuart: before today it didn't have such a bad chart. ashley: all of a sudden, it goes down. stuart: all right. let's get back to politics, shall we? it's friday morning, why not? not just the democrats are split, the republicans have unity trouble, too. some republicans have already made it clear they're not going to endorse trump. bush 41, bush 43, mitt romney, senator john mccain, say no way
9:16 am
for trump. house speaker ryan is not get ready to endorse trump however, he'll meet with him along reince prebus, from the rnc. they're going to have to be fixable. >> they're going to have to be fixable. here is what bothers ryan about trump. they disagree with immigration, trade and ryan has spent his career trying to reform. and ryan said yesterday, look, i don't expect donald trump to adopt by policies, i get the impression they can agree to disagree on some of these things. >> it's not a deal killer. on the other hand, people close to ryan say look at the things he's publicly rebuked trump about.
9:17 am
the comment on david duke and the kkk. the muslim ban, and violence at trump rallies. those deeply disturbings paul ryan and i think he wants the assurance that he'll tone it down in the future, not sure he's going to get it. stuart: the trump's argument is simple as this, if you don't support me, if you don't unify, you're giving the election to hillary clinton. and that is the last best argument on his side and it's a powerful one. >> oh, it absolutely is. and there's an argument before that, inside the republican party, which is i won and this guy is making demands? and i think we're at that stage right now. but you're right, bottom line, trump and trump supporters will say, look, anything other than supporting me, donald trump, is a vote for hillary clinton and do you want to do that? >> what about the donors? because trump's not going to self-finance a billion dollars worth of election spending. he's going to have to go to the republican party for that. so there's a little leverage on
9:18 am
the part of the republicans, you don't get the money unless you temper some of your statements. there is that argument, too. >> well, there's that argument, but i think we saw a very big development yesterday when sheldon adelson, perhaps the biggest republican donor of all said he's going to support donald trump. adelson's reason, he's a republican and so am i. and i think what we're going to see is a number of g.o.p. donors, some of whom have contributed to other candidates, coming around to trump. stuart: okay. 10 seconds, am i right, is this fixable at the end of the day, they fix it, the unity question? >> it is indeed fixable. the issue stuff are definitely bridgeable and they can do that if they want. stuart: byron york, thank you, indeed. good to see you. >> thank you. stuart: look at this, please, these are images of creatures which have never ever been seen before. ashley: oh, my goodness. stuart: they are from the deepest place on earth, that would be the mariana trench
9:19 am
east of the philippines right at the bottom of the pacific ocean. the first time a camera has been down that deep. feeding back live footage. i'll repeat it, you've never seen this stuff before. rare types of deep sea cucumbers, eels, starfish. don't we bring you good stuff on "varney & company." >> we think we know it all as humans and the hand of god. stuart: very good. what about the pressure, 35,000 feet. ashley: my gosh. >> magnificent. stuart: and this, too, that's my favorite. >> great. isn't it. stuart: look at this, liberal, in california, a drunk driving check point canceled because of the slogan, fiesta time or jail time, the sensitive left didn't like that, they shut it down. "varney & company" will continue. >> don't cry. show me movies with romance.
9:20 am
9:21 am

show me more like this. show me "previously watched." what's recommended for me. x1 makes it easy to find what you love.

9:24 am
people were so offended by that, they shut down the road closure, the drunk driving road check. tammy. >> yeah, a bunch of snowflakes up there. at a native los angeles, no one knew, defeating the french. it's the mexican, latin american culture that infuses california. this is excuses to have more power to threaten more people, it's a ridiculous dynamic and oakland simply bent to it and putting people at risk by shutting down the check point. ashley: writing trump 2016 becomes threatening. >> this has repercussions, you're stopping the check points and everybody drinks, margaritas are a fabulous drink, but tequila is the best alcohol you can drink, apparently, so you know.
9:25 am
stuart: by a spanish word and mix it with drinking, you can't do that. >> in california everyone is effectively bilingual, it's a complaint and never an issue before. ashley: then we have to perhaps put up with a higher chance of drunk drivers and could kill someone. >> it's a sacrifice to political correctness. stuart: no wonder trump is popular, no wonder. now this, we're doing this because it's friday. look at that, you don't see that often, a hippo escapes from a circus in spain and shocked onlockers. >> i would be shocked, snapped pictures of the hippo just walking by. we're told that the hippo is in custody. look at the creatures we've shown you today. ashley: giant handcuffs. >> he deserves to be free. you escape, you should be set free. ashley: he should be in a mud
9:26 am
hole. stuart: and moving on the job market, more fears of the slowing economy. stocks are down and more importantly, interest rates are way down. that's a barometer of our future performance. stay there for the opening bell. ♪ at ally bank, no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like grandkids equals free tech support. oh, look at you, so great to see you! none of this works. come on in. ..
9:27 am

9:30 am
stuart: here we go, 10 seconds until "the opening bell" on wall street. they are applauding to start the trading session and we will be down at "the opening bell". not a lot, 60, 70 points, we are on the downside in early going, 18 points, 17-6, we are down in large part, my opinion because of the weak economy jobs report we had earlier. come on in ashley webster and liz mcdonald and anthony scaramucci is with us, and scott shelley in chicago. first question, the market is down because of the jobs report and interest rates are tumbling. >> i agree with you. if you look at the june futures rated less than 4% in terms of a
9:31 am
rate increase. you want a goldilocks economy, the jobs growing a little better than they are right now. if they we can is go to quantitative easing or negative interest rates, markets will trade off. stuart: it is not a great selloff. that indicates a very weak economy. what say you? >> that was the future a month ago december 16th. four more, 2016, are you kidding me, won and done, the next move from the fed will be quantitative easing, not another interest rate hike. these numbers prove the economy is stuck in the engine is broken and we can't find the growth. >> two for the global government bonds yielding 2% or less, we are negative rates. stuart: we are 1-7 on the ten year, and the two year.
9:32 am
got to get to two forgotten tech darlings, way down this morning, go pro and fire i, deal with go pro, you predicted this, you said it would crash. >> a bubble in search of a pin. and industrial like us steel in illinois, it may be a one trick pony, delaying their drones in the holiday, we see go pro in a world of trouble. stuart: $10 today, 93, 18 months ago. they do web security. why would they be down so much? everybody is insecure. ashley: a weaker changeup, who founded -- but by fire i is now
9:33 am
taking over fire i and current ceo being moved out as executive chairman. this is a company that says it is in transition, to the cloud, business model, numbers don't look great. in the long-term they are in the long-term. stuart: that is 60, now it is 14. gamemaker activevision, that means absolutely nothing. the popular videogame called call of duty, now you get it got a boost from king digital. that means nothing to you, candy crush people growing digital sales, stronger outlook, it is up 7%. look at this one. sales sliding at the chicken chain down 7%. higher profits that wind resorts, maybe that has something to do with mc cow, they are up 3%. the health insurer, not used to this, cigna, raising its outlook, stock is still down but they raised their outlook by
9:34 am
obamacare, higher profits and sales at the rebound, 10% higher. here is a big name, i know this one, yelp. i know this one very well. they raise sales guidance. what exactly does that mean? nicole: all of the analysts are jumping on board so they like make a lot of money through selling advertising, raising guidance for revenue, stock is up 12%, a huge move and they are struggling to stay positive. they pushed off being bought out but had a tough go of it, five consecutive quarterly losses but looking good going forward. you are seeing a big pop. stuart: $50 a share not that long ago and now it popped to
9:35 am
23. you explained it very well, thank you very much indeed. how about apple? hears the news. tim cook the ceo is going to visit china, meet the government. liz: could be mission impossible. china is apple app second biggest market, sales come from china. china stopped the sale of movies, apple lost its patent on the iphone, leather goodsmaker use the word iphone on the purses of wallets. i tell you something else, the reason it is mission impossible, basic china cracking down on the internet big time. stuart: i would not be surprised to hear the leadership they say to tim cook, to crack down on. >> if apple doesn't innovate,
9:36 am
and these older technology companies trade at, ton of cash, without innovation hit higher -- >> 20 multiple spaces. and an accent. stuart: i spit on the show like that, very serious stuff. canada wildfires spreading in the oil sands region of canada. $43 a barrel, how much impact on the crude oil market, dreadful fires been in california? >> with what we have happening in canada as well as middle east libya tensions, that speaks to the supply issues and on top of it when we get 0.5 gdp, no retail sales, we are not seeing
9:37 am
an economic engine of growth kicked into full gear, the overhang of supply, that shows you today, and middle east tensions, can't get going. stuart: that is fascinating, you would think we had a spike in oil with all this stuff going on. atlas worldwide, and that was up, because of amazon, has a tie in -- would be straight up but they are not. ashley: they entered into a partnership with atlas air and amazon to provide delivery aircraft or amazon, there are 20
9:38 am
boeing 767s decked out for package deliveries, part of amazon getting into the delivery business coming out the middleman. stuart: it was up 30%. that was my mistake. ashley: people taking a little profit into the weekend. stuart: this is the power of amazon. you get a connection with amazon you go up. ashley: and weakens ups and fedex. >> if you think of market share that will create the vertical for themselves over the last 20 years. stuart: which is the premier technology company? i will ask scott shelley. is it amazon? is it facebook? >> i would take facebook. stuart: what do you have? >> i don't like facebook but as far as stock goes i do like it. 50% of the internet traffic on a daily basis going through the amazon web services has got to be a pretty good juggernaut. there will be a lot more revenue coming out of that.
9:39 am
i think amazon is the one to go with just because i am not a big fan of usage. it is a good reporter, and amazon. stuart: i will stay on facebook, a lawsuit challenging facebook's facial recognition system. >> they have state-of-the-art database collection on users that advertisers bluff, san francisco federal judge says yes, a lawsuit against facebook and go forward, the lawsuit says facebook, you got to stop collecting faces with names without our consent and storing it and keeping it. a privacy issue. stuart: if you and i have a picture taken of the two of us and it gets on facebook, we are tagged. my name comes up. the lawsuit says quit doing that. liz: collecting and storing it,
9:40 am
that is the issue. without people's consent. it is dangerous because they have a state-of-the-art database collection. advertisers love it. stuart: to make a lot of money in the future they have to keep and store those names and faces and the lawsuit says knock it off. liz: the lawsuit can go forward, facebook is a big deal for facebook, could be a landmark. stuart: what did you say? >> it is too late. that horse has left the barn. it will only be good for people to get on facebook tomorrow if they ruled today. your face and name is out there already, that technology has been happening. stuart: i remember the google glass thing, you walk into a room full of strangers and you knew everybody's name. i don't know whether it works or not but i like that. new york times will start
9:41 am
delivering meal kits to your home. you heard that right. this is the new york times food delivery. ashley: sign of the times when you rely purely on circulation and advertising for an industry losing ground, they already have a wine cloth, travel service where you can go around the world led by a new york times correspondent. liz: how about fixing the front page where everyone thinks they are ernest hemingway on the front page? you have to read the stories backwards. stuart: criticizing the editorial stage which criticizes economic failure, i digress. >> chicken is going to be served pink. stuart: last word to scott shelley. >> we found a way to get lazier than going through the drive-through, now it will be delivered at home by drones so it is generation couch nation is where we are headed. stuart: he just trademarked
9:42 am
that. the dow industrial average is now down 15 points, not quite the selloff we thought we might see, down 12, down 10, any advance on that? down 11. here is a video that is angering a lot of parents. it shows a baby left to swim on its own in a pool. i don't know how you feel about that. i have six kids, my grandchildren, we will show you more about this later on the program. democrats split down the middle, hillary clinton the subject of huge protests in california. bernie sanders supporters vow never never never will we vote for hillary. more varney in a moment.
9:43 am
9:44 am
9:45 am
9:46 am
stuart: friday morning the loss 11 points down for the dow industrials. look at gun stocks in the news this morning. a judge has ruled attorneys may continue their effort to get internal documents from the makers of guns which were used in the 2012 sandy hook. >> this is a landmark case. connecticut superior court judge says yes, you can continue the families of 26 people who were killed in sandy hook 2012, you can continue with your liability suit against the maker of the assault weapon used by the shooter. they are now being basically pushed forward into the suit, a 2005 federal law would sue makers of guns if you sell the
9:47 am
gun to somebody mentally defective. there is a loophole in their, a different matter for gunmakers. stuart: pressing the liability issue on the gunmakers. successfully the gunmakers could be -- ashley: begun -- delegate to the individual, not the gun maker. stuart: it is a loophole in the federal law. major protests against hillary clinton last night, made bernie sanders supporters were out in force chanting never hillary, called her a liar, waving the mexican flag in california. harlan hill is with us, a democrat who has said on this program never hillary. look what you have done. the democrats are totally split. are you happy? >> this is no surprise and i won't take the credit for it.
9:48 am
i think -- i would blame debbie wasserman schultz and what she has done in dnc to protect the front runner hillary clinton, everything from coin flips to superdelegates to manufactured controversies with a data breach at a major democratic venture, she has manufactured every controversy to suppress bernie sanders so it is no surprise people are rejecting it. stuart: we talked a lot about the republicans trying to get some unity to fix the disunity between trump and the republican party. that may be a fixable problem. how about the split among democrats between hillary and bernie. is that fixable? >> there is no reconciliation to be had here. she picked sanders as a running mate to reconcile, there is bad blood between these groups between their supporters. i don't think there is any reconciliation to be had. it is going to be rough. is in this amazing? a few weeks ago we thought we were going to go to the republican convention and that would be to modulus. now we are looking at the democratic side. looks like the convention that
9:49 am
will have all kinds of turmoil. stuart: as someone inside the democrat party, can you tell us how many bernie supporters would vote for donald trump? give us an idea what you think is the proportion of bernie people going to trump? >> right now i saw a recent poll that 40% of people said they were supporting sanders and could never support hillary clinton. that number is very low. when we litigate hillary's passed from her time as us senators all the scandals, benghazi, the email servers, this number could change. we still haven't talked about wall street and campaign finance reform. if donald trump speaks of these terms, there could be a lot of bernie supporters. stuart: harlan hill, we will see you again soon, thanks very much. look at the s&p, a broad-based stock market indicator briefly dipped into negative territory

9:55 am
shocked a lot of people, the first one that has gone to trial. stuart: changed the date on the migrants crisis. iraqi security forces have liberated the city of ramani. sending new images show ramani destroyed in the process, what you are looking at on the screen is before the battle, then after its liberation. as you can see, entire portions of neighborhoods flat out destroyed. the institute for the study of war, put politics aside for a moment, if you study war, what i'm looking at with those images is absolute destruction, that is modern warfare in practice today. >> a scorched-earth policy from isis and the iraqi government, the iraqi government for the only to generate rulers, take the territory, the united states
9:56 am
helps with that, isis says no you are not and if you take it we will blow it up. we like to think of modern warfare as being precise but hyper accurate, in context of history we are more accurate with our munitions today than ever before but ultimately if isis, the only way to liberate that city is to destroy it. stuart: it does indeed. one more thing for you. donald trump has said the iraq war was america's biggest mistake. listen to this. >> the war in iraq was the worst decision ever made in this country's history, totally disabled lysed the middle east. stuart: the worst mistake in the country's history. what do you say to that? >> victory has 1000 fathers but defeat, everyone wants to claim victory. in 2003 i was in kuwait getting ready for the invasion of iraq.
9:57 am
and people in iraq supported the invasion, overwhelming supporting the senate. both administrations, the bush administration and obama administration made mistakes of the prosecution of the war in iraq, he is going to give a credible policy statement on the right thing to do. 13 years ago, nobody is disputing that, let's talk about what you can do to solve or fix or address this crisis of the foreign terrorist organization like isis. stuart: thanks for joining us. liberal lunacy in california, listen to this, the owners of a vegan restaurant receiving death threats after it was revealed they were meat eaters. we have the story and former celebrity apprentice consistent clay aiken says trump is a good guy but trump is not a republican.

9:59 am
10:00 am
stuart: new this hour, look at that. donald trump, a big hit in coal country. feeling the love while wearing that hard hat in west virginia. blue collar workers, yes, they are supporting him bigtime. >> thank you, everybody. stuart: thank you, everybody. [laughter] you're welcome. here's what california's waking up to this morning, union workers want to know how their dues are being spent. the seiu shut down their own membership. in north carolina lawmakers standing firm behind their bathroom law even though the obama team says it violates civil rights. north carolina stands firm. and here is an only-in-california story tailor made for a show like us. a couple runs a vegan restaurant. they receive death threats from their customers because turns out they are meat eaters. [laughter] you can't do that. more on this later. check the big board, we're down 30 points.
10:01 am
a weak job report came out earlier today, but we're down only 29 points. how about the s&p? a broad-based stock market indicator, dead flat just about, dead flat for this calendar year. then we have fireeye. that's a cybersecurity company, and it's taking a big hit. the ceo is leaving. profits fell short, but it's still surprising to see an internet security company down like that. look at gopro. there's another former tech darling. it was at $93 a share 14, 15 months ago, now it's down to 10. look at the yield on the ten-year treasury, all the way down to 1.76%. it was lower than that earlier -- >> i don't think we would have seen this a year ago. to see that number right now, that tells you weak jobs report, people are a scared of what's going on in the u.s. economy. the treasury is a safe haven. we see around the world two-thirds of government bonds yielding around 1%. that tells you the world and the u.s. economy is in trouble.
10:02 am
are we sliding into recession? watch this, the fed may not raise rates, so that could be bullish for the stock market. stuart: we'll see about that. [laughter] don't forget yelp, raising their sales guidance. what is that all about? >> you know what? a turn-around of sorts. they've had five quarterly losses in a row, but they beat on earnings and revenue, all driven by a nice uptick in local ads, and sales up 34%. stuart: and the stock's up 17%. >> love. that. stuart: like that. all right. let's get to california. every day, oh, yes, we do. new this hour, unions in california stopping an effort that would have forced them to publicize how they spend their dues. >> this all began with a complaint from a union member five years ago, eventually got into the legislature, and a lawmaker has introduced two bills forcing the union to open up their books and detail how they spend all the money. that was defeated down party
10:03 am
lines. the second bill would have required a union vote every two years. the problem is, you know, the union says we are very transparent. we are, you know, we will tell you what we're doing. they don't. and this lawsuit was started by a woman who noticed a crossing guard who was a member of the union was standing there with no one crossing the road because there was an underground pass. they said how come she's got the job? it was a payback to the union, so she was just being paid to stand there. >> transparent as a bucket of molasses. what their fight against was forcing the union to put their spending on the internet and show the world -- >> that's not going to happen. stuart: wait a minute. the guys in the union win. did the judge say open the books? >> the members of the union lost. the union leaders won. stuart: thank you. >> that's it. stuart: that's the point. deep breath. [laughter] hysteria. [laughter] let's talk about that jobs report, shall we? we're not seeing robust growth
10:04 am
in employment or in the overall economy. come on in, jeff sica, a man who says the stock market, ultimately, is going to go down, and it won't be too long before we see it, is that right? >> yeah. i mean, take a look at this number. the first thing we've got to realize is there are 94 million americans who are not in the work force for whatever reason. this number was dismal. and for all of those half-witted economists that believe that the jobs number has been the greatest support for the so-called recovery, they have to think again because this was a dismal report. and we keep getting downward revisions. stuart: yep. >> we had a downward revision for february, a downward revision for march, and now we're looking at the potential of this being a downward revision as well. stuart: now, does this tie into -- you're bearish on the stock market. you think the market's going to go down. these numbers today tie into that bearish view? >> yeah. let's take a look at the market today. it's very tame, very calm as far
10:05 am
as the performance today, but the reason it is is because we have a market that's become addicted to the fed. the market has not plummeted on this horrendous economic news because it's supporting the good -- the bad news is good news theory which means that the optimism about keeping rates lower for longer is alive and well. and that's been the only fuel that this market has had to rely on. stuart: and you say it cannot go on forever, and when it stops, we go down. >> it's going to be ugly. and i think people have been deceiving themselves into believing you could have an earnings recession for this long, this many quarters. earnings have showed us something. people are deceiving themselves to think that there's any sustainability to a market that does not have the backdrop of good earnings and a strong economiment we don't have that -- economy. we don't have that. and there's nothing that's going to create it in the near term. stuart: just what we need -- [laughter] >> happy friday. stuart: jeff sica comes along
10:06 am
and says this horrendous economic report. [laughter] that market's going down, we can't sustain this forever. have a nice day. [laughter] all right. we're going to show you those images, this is a catastrophe, frankly. this is western canada. alberta, to be precise. massive wildfire is still burning bigtime. i think the total is now close to 90,000 people who have been evacuated. there are two oil sands sites, you know, for the production of oil, they're in jeopardy. that is affecting the price of crude oil. it has now gone back up again. that's because you may have a lot of oil taken out of the pipeline because of those fires. you don't often have that -- >> you don't. 49 separate fires burning. this is one of the bigger ones. but, you know, the weather has been extremely dry, a very dry winter. hot winds blowing now, and they just can't get a handle on it. stuart: that fire is still burning. to north carolina, lawmakers
10:07 am
there standing by their transgender bathroom law in direct defiance of the obama administration. come in, clay aiken, democrat, yes? you are a democrat. >> i am. stuart: and you are a north carolina native, are you not? >> i am, yes. stuart: and you're the guy who was on the apprentice -- >> you're batting a thousand. stuart: and also "american idol." and you're going to comment on north carolina's bathroom issue. >> i am. why not? stuart: what do you make of it? >> i mean, i think it's obviously a political issue in north carolina, the general assembly has really overreached in the last five years. stuart you think? >> absolutely. stuart: wait a second. the north carolina law says you go into the bathroom which corresponds to your gender at birth. >> do you want to go to the bathroom with caitlin jenner or? that is the point. >> no, it is not. that is not the point. if i walk into a woman's bathroom in, say, a target store --
10:08 am
>> absolutely, or you should be in trouble. stuart: but i'm not in a target store. i'm not. >> you absolutely are in trouble. stuart: i identify as a woman, therefore, i've got every right -- >> you are a very unattractive woman. [laughter] stuart: you know what i'm talking about. you can't change the subject. >> i'm not trying to change the isn't. i'm telling you there's not one reported instance of anyone doing that. if you're going to try to molest somebody, you're not going to do it in broad daylight. stuart: why open the door to this kind of problem? >> there's no open. people have been using the bathroom that they associate with for decades, and it hasn't been a problem. this is a problem that was created and manufactured by the -- stuart: i don't recall men walking into a woman's bathroom freely for decades. >> i absolutely, i absolutely agree with you. but transgender women have been going into the bathroom that they associate with for years. transgender men have been going into the bathroom they associate with for years, and you didn't even realize it.
10:09 am
stuart: why do we have to change? >> we don't have to change. stuart: yes, we do. >> no, we don't, and that is the point, that is the point of the argument. that's the crux of it. we don't have to change. this has been something that's been going on for 20 years finish. stuart: all over america they're getting rid of men bathroom, women bathroom, they're going to unisex bathrooms. >> what someone does -- stuart: with whom they are not related. am i crazy? [laughter] >> i'm considering it. [laughter] i am considering it. stuart: come on. common sense. >> common sense, again, says this is something that's been going on for years, and this is a political ploy to try to make sure that they boost voter turnout in north carolina, and i think it's going to backfire. stuart: do you realize that you're only on this program because you're a former apprentice -- [laughter] >> i thought i was brilliantly intelligent. stuart: now we've got you on about bathrooms in north carolina. you know donald trump because you were on the apprentice so you had to interchange with the guy on a frequent basis.
10:10 am
>> oh, yeah. stuart: you liked him, as i recall. >> at times, certainly. stuart: but you're here to say he ain't no republican. >> well, i don't know that i'm here to say he's not a republican -- stuart: that's what you told my booker. >> that's what i told you last time i was on here. i don't think his views necessarily line up consistently k and i think that's what scares me about him as a potential president. he's got his finger in the wind, and he goes where he wants to. he agrees with me on the transgender law. and for someone who's going to potentially be president with their finger on the trigger, that's not something that i want. i don't want someone who's inconsistent. stuart: look, he agrees with you on the bathroom issue -- >> and he disagrees with me on dozens, dozens of more things. [laughter] stuart: clay -- [laughter] you may come back. >> we'll argue more, absolutely. stuart: all right. a split in the gop, oh, yeah. some of the party's top names

stuart: i'm going to call this purchase a dead flat market despite a weak jobs report. but we're down just four points now, 17,6. let's go to south carolina where a parole board has decided to grant early release to a teenager. he was inspired by isis and, ashley, i believe he was accused of and convicted of plotting to kill u.s. soldiers. >> yeah, he was. he was actually convicted on a
10:15 am
gun charge, but authorities in south carolina say this was a young man -- they have not identified him, just as a 17-year-old american citizen belonging to a syrian family -- had said that he was attracted to the i islamic -- islamic states. he was given a five-year sentence, but he was never charged with federal terrorism charges on those threats or those beliefs that he held. is so, you know, he's being released one year after a five-year sentence local law enforcement are furious about it and blame the feds for not stepping in and increasing the charges leveled against this -- stuart: he's out after one year. >> exactly. stuart: got it. londoners going to find out today if they have elected their first-ever muslim mayor. he is the son of pakistani immigrants and, yes, he is a muslim, and he was seen with an isis supporter. that was part of the debate. he's got a real chance to win, and we'll have the results in a
10:16 am
couple of hours probably. judy miller's with us, author of "the story: a reporter's journey." bigger picture here, is what this -- if he wins, if a muslim becomes the mayor of london -- >> oh, i think he is going to win. he's 11 points ahead, so he is the next mayor of london which is the first muslim mayor of london. stuart: of a major european city. >> absolutely. stuart: what's going to be the reaction across europe? because the muslim question is a question. >> i think we've already seen not only a growing muslim population in europe, but we've seen a reaction to it from the right. the extreme right. so i think you're going to have, as the muslim population of europe becomes larger, the growth of the extreme right. you're going to see a reaction to that phenomenon which is pretty much unstoppable at this point, stuart. stuart: yeah, but what about -- i don't quite know how to put this, but the birthrate amongst muslims. take britain, for example. it's extremely high. >> yes.
10:17 am
it's a one out of three muslims in london at the moment in the u.k. is actually under 15. so in some cities we now have in the school system, for example, in barreling ham, the -- birmingham, the population is 80% muslim. we're well over the 50% mark in some cities. so you really do have the kind of muslimization or islamization of europe in terms of population. now, whether or not -- i think we have to be careful here to distinguish between extreme muslims which was the charge here against mr. khan which the londoners did not believe because they've elected him, and those who just want to get on with life the way most people do. and i think the test now will be, you know, do these people integrate, a assimilate -- stuart: do they accept western values with regard to, say, gays, women, the separation of church and state? >> that's right. stuart: do they accept those core western values.
10:18 am
if not, then the politics of europe are going to be dramatically affected by opponents of the judeo-christian ethic. >> as we've already seen in germany and the cologne incident you were talking about earlier today. but i think in london the irony was khan is more liberal and more accepting in some of these areas than his counterpart who was zack goldsmith, a jewish englander, british citizen, who was accused of using the muslim card against his rival. it went down very badly in this election. stuart: yes, but how do you defeat a muslim vote in the be city of london which is enormous? i mean, i can't imagine many muslims in london voting for a jewish guy, mr. goldsmith, who was khan's opponent. it's sheer numbers, isn't it? >> well, it's numbers, but you have to remember we're still talking about a population which is 1 to 20. there's 1 muslim for every 20 non-muslims in the u.k., so we shouldn't exaggerate this.
10:19 am
but in certain areas where muslims have immigrated and where they've congregated, yes, they are going to control local politics, and we have to adjust to that and get used to it. the issue is what do they say? do they accept western values or not? and in the case of khan, most of the people who turned out to vote today believe that he has accepted it and that this charge that he had dealings with isis was not true and it was unfair. stuart: well, we're going to get results, i think, within a couple of hours. as you say, he's probably going to win. >> he's probably going to win. >> david cameron is going to win because he's huge in the labour party, a huge supporter of the e.u -- >> that's a great point. >> absolutely. and if we can also point out that going from boris johnson to khan is like in the united states going from a barack obama to a -- stuart: to a donald trump. [laughter] almost. >> almost. as big a shift. judy, thank you very much, indeed.

11:36 am
in espionage cases. espionage, the failure to keep secure state secrets that have been entrusted to your care is one of the rare federal crimes that may be proven without the government having to prove intent. and the author of that article and editors at the washington post ought to know that. on the other hand, there is evidence of her intent. there is an e-mail, stuart, in which she said to one of her aids, simply remove the word secret from that secret document and fax it to me from your home fax machine to mine. now, that shows a specific intent to remove state secrets from a secure environment to a nonsecure environment. that's icing on the cake for the feds because they don't need to show that. stuart: okay. what do you make of this -- you and i have discussed this many times. the incremental movement which

we keep seeing, almost daily developments in the scandal, i get the impression that it's coming to a head, there's more and more of these developments all the time. do you agree with that on me? >> yes, i do. yes, i do. i believe that the interviews of mrs. clinton's closest aides have been completed and they're now going to ask her for an interview and at the conclusion of that interview if she does it, the investigation will be complete. remember they are also interviewing this character we talked about yesterday, gusifer who either will or will not demonstrate the nature in which international elements that may wish us harm, in fact, did hack into her e-mails. stuart: 20 seconds left, judge, can you give us any kind of time frame. i don't suppose you can, but have a stab at it, if you could. >> before the democratic national convention. stuart: so within two months. >> yes. yes, i think so. and i'm going to say what i've said 100 times before. if they don't present this

11:39 am
true story. one of the stories of so many that i found. stuart: however, if a lady goes away, has children, leaves the job, attempts to come back to that job later. >> uh-huh. stuart: the employer could say wait a minute, you've been out of the workforce, you've not kept up to date what this job requires whether it's technical or professional, you're not up to date, sorry you're not quite right for the job. you can't call that discrimination. >> it is a form of discrimination. nobody gets stupid. stuart: but you're not up to speed on the job. >> i interviewed a harvard educated attorney who took three years off from the workforce. she could only get contract work. because there's this assumption that you're sitting around doing nothing for those five years when, in fact, you're keeping very busy and a lot of these women learn to keep their skills up to date during that time. and that's why i wrote the book because other women can learn from this. learn just because you have children doesn't mean that you're not a valuable part of

. stuart: now, here's a mover for you. endo. it's a drug maker. do you know that they make the painkiller percocet? they have slashed their revenue and profit forecast and the stock is down 40%. biggest loser by far in the s&p 500. the percocet maker. way down. and now this. residents of switzerland, adults that is, may get a tax-free income of 2800. every one of them. ashley: every swiss adult will get what they call a basic income. this is part of an initiative that got more than 100,000 signatures, which means they can vote on it. and who wouldn't vote for it; right? it basically says that it would ensure for the swiss a dignified existence. people living in more -- more expensive areas will get more of those in cheaper areas get slightly less. stuart: you're kidding me?
11:46 am
ashley: yeah, they're going to grade it the way you live. now, want this represent a third of switzerland's gdp. but the reasoning behind it is i much rather have people spend the money than the government. they're part of the society, they get to decide what they want to do with their money. stuart: and where does the money come from? ashley: the same people who put it in. it's not going to pass. at least it's a long shot. let's put it that way. it's amusing. >> it's socialism. stuart: thank you, cheryl. >> this is exactly why the bernie sanders crowd is running around saying i would like free college and free booze and food and housing. of course if you're going to hand out free stuff. people are going to say that's wonderful. stuart: all you have to have is 100,000 signatures. ashley: 100,000 signatures. stuart: and 8 million people, and it's on the ballot. i've got to move on. a woman has been arrested on fraud charges. she allegedly got $4.6 million
11:47 am
just accidentally transferred into her account. she spent some of the money, 3 million of it. and now i believe she has been arrested and she's in jail. i think that's correct. emily, you've been following this story. she's in jail? she was arrested? wait a minute. if that's correct, she's getting the blame for what the bank or somebody did transferred the money four years ago into her account. >> you're right. so a month shy of her 18th birthday she opened an account, and she was granted this clerical error unlimited overdraft. so over the course of four years, she with drew over $4 million, spent the night in jail when the feds finally caught up with her in australia. but here's the fortunately. the two crimes she's charged with which is dishonestly obtaining. these are serious charges in australia. they each bring to them five to ten years of penalty.
11:48 am
and it accounts for the fact that it's inadvertent. they specifically say recklessness and negligence isn't okay. so she's on the hook for 20 plus years in prison for a clerical error. stuart: but it wasn't like 4 million was shifted to her account. but she opened an account and got an up limited overdraft. is that what happened? >> correct. and the magistrate here seems to sympathize if not empathize with her saying, look, these aren't proceeds of crime. this is money we dream of. but this same thing happens in our country a lot. with people social security administration, for example, they'll receive overpayments. pass their eligibility, they don't even realize it, and then one day the government knocks and says, oh, by the way, you owe us hundreds of thousands of dollars or thousands of dollars and there's a division between the fraud unit and being on the hook for the money. they may not go to jail, but they have significant bills they cannot pay back. stuart: i'm going to move on to the facebook lawsuit.
11:49 am
here's how i'm going to try to explain it. if you and i have a picture taken, and it appears on facebook, we will be tagged. our names will appear across the bottom. emily, stuart varney. there is a lawsuit which says we don't want that. that's an invasion if our price. stop it, facebook. that's the lawsuit now in progress. have i got it right? >> you do and the same argument here goes with what feature can you use to turn it off? so here facebook is going to counter argue, well, you don't have to be tagged in certain photos. that's the feature, for example, in twitter that you can shut it off. but i don't see this as succeeding very far. although i do see facebook changing their features in response into to avoid future lawsuits and potential class action. stuart: but facebook wants that information. they want to know what you look like and what your name is. so they'll fight hard to keep this, i suspect. >> well, and everything that they do has to do on the basis of their privacy definitely or -- i'm sorry their argument that basically access to information.
11:50 am
trumps the privacy on our side. so i agree with you they will fight hard, but i don't think they're going to let this go so far as to potentially have a huge ruling in court. stuart: fascinating, emily, you believe your homework for us, and we really like that. thank you very much indeed. emily, lawyer. [laughter] i mean it in the nicest possible way. ashley: uh-huh. stuart: i do. next. next. the mayor of cupertino, california says apple needs to pay more local taxes. he's going to join us in a momet you both have a

11:54 am
. stuart: our next guest is the mayor of cupertino, california. that's where apple is headquartered. now, the mayor has said apple, pay more in local taxes. you are abusing my city of cupertino, california. your honor, barry chang is with us now. okay, your honor. let's get right down to basics here. number within you, how much does apple pay to your city in local taxes right now? b how much do you want them to pay? >> it's about $18 million right now. and i want them to pay about
11:55 am
$41 million, $23 million for the transportation because the resident here to traffic is so bad, they cannot get around. and it's all stuck in the traffic. and then we -- silicon valley is the high-tech center of the world. but then our public transit system is so embarrassing. really embarrassing. when i say this, of course i offend a lot of people. but this is the problem we have to face. if we don't face the problem, we are not going to solve it. stuart: so as i understand it, you tried to visit apple's headquarters. did they throw you out or something? you didn't have secure pass? what happened? >> no. that's not the case. misquoted. i did not say apple abuse us. i just asked them to pay more taxes. but they misquoted. okay. that's one point. the other point is i did visit apple headquarters, tried to talk to their executive.
11:56 am
but then the receptionist was so cold, and she said you don't have an appointment, you have to leave. so i left. i did not get thrown out. no, no one drag me out of apple headquarters. stuart: your honor, we've been showing our viewers pictures of the construction of the brand-new apple headquarters. >> right. stuart: i think they're spending 5 billion on it, and it's called the spaceship by some people. >> right. stuart: i presume that when that is occupied, when they move in, they will be paying a lot more in local property taxes. is that accurate? >> correct. because i negotiated with them more than 12 times. i worked really hard. and then have them pay 30% more sales tax to our city. so which is quite not easy because most people know that apple doesn't pay federal government; right? stuart: all right. >> but what i'm looking at is this is a much bigger problem for our society, not only cupertino, not only silicon valley, not only california, it is entire country.
11:57 am
because if you look at the rich get richer and then the poorer get poorer, middle class is dwindling and every member say the have willing to share with the have-nots then there's a piece of history. but when the have not willing to share with have not, there is war. so we're in the same boat. we have to work together so that the rich people should share, in my opinion,. stuart: we hear you, your honor. we do hear you, and you made a good case for that. you're getting 18 million, you want 41. we'll remember that. come and see us again and tell us how much you actually get them for. barry chang, everyone. mayor of cupertino, california with a big smile. more varney after this
