9:02 am
♪ baby you can drive my car ♪ >> yes. [laughter] yes! that's so good. baby, you can drive by car. don't fly, drive that car. very good choice, producers. the memorial day or the weekend starts now. what's waiting for you in the security lines? remember, they're telling you to get to the airport three hours before your flight. jeff flock, well-positioned at midway airport in chicago. are you-- do you have any lines to show? oh, you do not. oh, so let's bring our viewers good news, no lines at midway. >> breaking news for you, stuart, the tsa is doing a wonderful job this morning, it's amazing here. this is a place where we've had terrible lines, in fact, they're ready with all of these standions here that the lines could go out the door and into the cta garage there. not today. and look, one of the reasons why, look at this k-9 team that's out here. if they go, if you go past
9:03 am
their sniff by the k-9 team, you can go through the pre-check line even if you don't have tsa pre-check. that's helped things out here and this line is moving great. this cheers you, the tsa is doing a wonderful job, celebrate them. stuart: okay, jeff, time is up. we do take the-- >> i had a feeling, i had a feeling, yeah. stuart: to start the show with good news from midway. we will be back for you later. i want to see if there are any lines. okay? all right. we just received the latest reading on the economy. growth less than 1% and that's after record high taxes and trillions in stimulus. that's the obama economy eight years in. anthony scaramucci is with us, he's a trump guy and investor as well. the 0.8% growth, it helps trump doesn't it? >> it helps them and if they get a federal reserve interest rate hike, that be a problem
9:04 am
for secretary clinton, failed economic policy and the american public will probably want a restart, stuart. stuart: i've said .8% growth rate is anemic. >> you have to remember, we have 1.1% population growth, so, and we have about 2% productivity so we're actually in a statistical recession at this point. stuart: statistical recession? >> meaning you have to be at about 3% just to tread water with the economy and the productivity. so at 0.8%, you're really in a recession for most of the people in the united states. >> tell it how it is. stay there for a second, please. check dow futures, where are we going with the market opens this friday morning? we're going to be down just a fraction, basically flat, let's call it unchangeded. we're looking for 18,000 on the dow. talk about getting it today. and remember, we're only 500 points away from the all-time close, closing high on the dow. the nice of oil is down a bit this morning and we're back do $48 a barrel.
9:05 am
let's talk about gas. this is the memorial day weekend. it starts, a lot of people will be driving, myself included. gas, 2.31 is the national average. where was it a year ago? it was 40 cents higher, 2.73 a year ago. so, that makes gas a little cheaper this holiday weekend. how about this, mcdonald's, free advertising from donald trump. and clinching the nomination with a burger and fries, we should tell you that mcdonald's stock is up, what, 30% so far this year. he's a man of the people? >> he certainly is. i flew out to albuquerque with him this past week and l.a. with him, we had wendy's on the way out and eating jimmy johns. >> was that a prop? was that deliberately passed to donald? >> he absolutely moves that sort of food. we were leaving the plane going to the rally, he said can you order the wendy's for me. there were chicken sandwiches and hamburgers on the plane.
9:06 am
stuart: on a $70 million plane, mcdonald's fries and shakes. and hillary's e-mail headache is not going away. listen to what she said about it, roll tape. >> the rules were not clarified until after i had left, but as i've said many times, it was still a mistake. if i could go back i'd do it differently. well, i thought it was allowed. i knew past secretaries of state used personal e-mail, secretary kerry did for a period of time until the rules were clarified. they were not a model of clarity and it seems there's still more work to do on that. stuart: backpedalling on that. i think the democrats are panicking, they've got to decide, do we stay on this ship? this ship may be sinking. >> here you've got a woman, unless i'm told what to do, i don't know what to do.
9:07 am
i will have no ethics, i won't know how to approach things. without a rule she will-- this is supposed to be about leadership. the problem for everyone they should panic, the fact there's been no real fair competition, frankly, for donald trump. we all want the country to get better. for the democrats it's dramatic. she may not win california at this point. the numbers are changing so dramatically that there's-- but you know, they have the alternative. joe biden, you know, al gore has not endorsed or said anything at this point. i think there are a few people waiting in the wings, and this is time for someone to get in through the summer, at this point if they needed to. stuart: theys interesting. tamley, stay there, please. a lot more for you as well. sticking with politics, the proposed debate between bernie sanders and donald trump, looks like it may happen. listen to what bernie has to say about it. >> you made it possible for us to have a very interesting debate. >> that's right. >> about two guys who look at
9:08 am
the world very, very differently. >> the goal would be to have it in a stadium in california you, but what i hope will happen is that in fact, i will return against him as the democratic nominee for president of the united states and if i do, we're going to beat him and beat him bad. stuart: okay, bernie is tweeting this morning, game on, let's do it. in other words, let's do this debate. now, donald trump says, yeah, let's do it. raise millions for charity and get huge tv ratings. trump campaign advisor barry bennett joins us now. okay, before we talk about bernie or donald, this makes hillary irrelevant. the biggest debate of the year and she's not there? >> and she must not have gotten the e-mail, i don't know. stuart: seriously, but she's not going to be there. i think that's a very big deal. >> well, yeah, i mean it's a very big deal to her campaign for sure. stuart: you seem determined not to go to this.
9:09 am
i'm offering you a golden opportunity, barry. come on. do you want to take it or not. [laughter] >> you know, i mean, i don't think they're very happy about this for sure. stuart: so, do you think it's going to happen, we are going to get this debate? >> i think there are plenty of hurdles before it could happen, but it would be nice to raise a bunch of money for charity. stuart: why are you laughing? we're a minute into this interview only three minutes total and you spent the first third of this thing laughing, laughing up a storm and you're still at it, why? a pretty good couple of days and hillary had a couple of personal rotten days. stuart: is this euphoric laughter? i'm sure. look, donald is very confident, i'll beat him and bernie sanders is very confident, i'll beat him. how would you the debate go? tell me. >> i think we're happy to
9:10 am
expose bernie sanders' core beliefs, i mean, free everything, triple domestic spending, drive the deficit through the roof, i mean, you know, we would all be in bankruptcy before he got done. so, we're happy to have at that debate. stuart: and you know, he'll come right back at you and say that donald trump is a racist, a bigot, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, hates women. >> they've been trying that. stuart: does donald trump have a nickname for bernie sanders yet? >> i don't think he does, we'll have to work on that. stuart: keep laughing, barry, because obviously you're having a blast. come and see us again. >> maybe his nickname should be, the nominee. stuart: that's good, very good. now i know why you're laughing. barry bennett. thank you for joining us, you've got to admit that was fun. >> it was fun, a fun couple of days. stuart: see you later.
9:11 am
look at this, from here, that's a tornado. that's ripping across large sections of kansas. the one you're looking at. it was on the ground for 19 minutes. if you live close to one of those things, those absolutely terrifying. >> yes. stuart: it was in a rural area, scattered damage and it was an f-4. >> wow. stuart: a force 4. >> powerful. stuart: and only goes to 5, that's a big thing there. that's the video. the question, could the legal battle between hulk hogan and gawker change the way gossip news sites operate? surely there's going to be a chilling effect that could ripple through the gossip industry? we're on that story for you. and president obama laying a wreath at the hiroshima peace memorial. he paid his respects and did not apologize for america dropping the bomb 71 years ago. i editorialize like this, i say we should never apologize. we'll discuss that point of view. next, two alarming medical
9:12 am
headlines, a new super powerful e. coli, antibiotics do not work on it. plus, a new study links cell phones and cancer. when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges.
9:15 am
>> here is a question, with the egyptair crash, have they found the black box at the bottom of the mediterranean. >> every day there's one indication and it's refuted the next day. airbus out of france who made the plane that went down into the mediterranean said yesterday they have picked up a signal from the locator beacon, it's not the black box, but it would help in the search. from the search area the size of connecticut to a three-mile radius based on the signal that they picked up. now, sources within egypt say there's no such signal and that they are saying, no, that's not true. so, again, it's point-counter point through the whole thing. no sign where the plane it. stuart: limit it to that.
9:16 am
a couple of big name stocks, first on twitter, here is the news, two more top executives are leaving the company. by the way, the stock is down 38% this calendar year, it's pretty close to its all-time low not much change when it opens. game stop, there is a move there. it's a bricks and mortar video game retailer. profits are down and that will be down at the opening bell of the that's game stop. got it. let's move to the medical headlines we're following. first off, a government study on rats has found a link between cell phones and cancel. dr. marc siegel is here. how strong is this link. >> national toxicology program, nih. a lot of money put into this. 2500 rats and nine hours a day and found an increased risk of certain brain cancer and it's rats. i'm going to tell rats, wear this. seriously, way too preliminary for me to be worried about it, nine hours a day.
9:17 am
i say we've got to look more into that. stuart: the more important story, i think, is the deadly super bug which apparently arrived in america, and resistent to all forms of antibiotics, including the antibiotics of last resort. that's serious. >> very serious, especially since the antibiotic of last resort are something that countries around the world are feeding to animals. the animals get fed low amounts of antibiotics to promote growth and to prevent them from being infected. it back fires because e. coli changes in the intestine of animals and next thing you know, gets into humans. the kind of resistance like somebody playing cards at a casino. you get a card and has one resistance and another resistance. this resistance can be transferred from one bacteria to another. that's what's scaring us. this resistance could end up on a bacteria that's already resistent.
9:18 am
>> and we put up on the screen colistin, the antibiotic of last resort. >> we've had it for a long time and saving it and now we're finding resistance to it developing. i'm very, very concerned about this. stuart: because the whole organism could mutate further. >> it's already hard to treat and a common bacteria. it's found in urinary infections, it's found in gastro intestinal infections and we have problems with it. the headline here, we don't make enough antibiotics anymore, you know why? drug companies, not just lawsuits, drug companies don't make enough money on them. not enough profit because you only need it when you're sick. stuart: the latest bug, the super bug, if you've got it, does it kill you? >> in the case of the woman in pennsylvania, no. it was only resistent to the particular antibiotic. they were able to use different ones, but if it ever connects with a type of resistance that we worry about, you're going to
9:19 am
have an untreatable bacteria. we're close to having an untreatable bacteria. very scary. stuart: yes, it is. doctor, thank you very much. >> good to see you. stuart: all right, the big political story that we're on today. the possible, indeed, likely debate between sanders and donald trump. the outsiders, trump and sanders, they're taking center stage and hillary is fading. bernie sanders is being criticized for putting this on his platform. next, president obama visits hiroshima, laid a wreath. no apology given. more varney after this.
9:20 am
9:23 am
nothing should get in the way of the things you love. ♪ get america's fastest internet. only from xfinity. >> for the future i confidently predict a dead, flat open. it's been a nice rally this week. look at the price of oil. about $48 a barrel to close out the week. close to 49. i've got a winner for you, that would be ulta salons, up about $20. 213 at the close and-- >> that's 10%. stuart: i'm glad you're here to do the math. president obama laying a wreath in hiroshima, japan this morning. he did not apologize.
9:24 am
tammy bruce, earlier i editorialized and it's my opinion that no apology is necessary or required. what say you? >> i think that's more than appropriate. look, you've got japan is now one of the most important nations in the world typically because they were defeated by us. what we knew as we moved toward the japanese mainland was that the entire japanese population was ready to die for their god and we would have had casualties over a million people, mostly japanese. it would have been a blood bath. there was more damage in conventional bombing of tokyo than hiroshima because of the nature of the how the houses were built and et cetera. and doing this at that point, not only saved likely a million lives, but allowed japan to be able to rebuild by being defeated by us to become the nation they are today, an imperatively important nature and great culture. stuart: two things i disagreed that the president said in his
9:25 am
overseas trip. he stood around with world leaders, foreigners and criticized donald trump and criticizeded politics back home and number two, today, he said he looked forward to and would work towards a nuclear-free future. what's he doing to giving the iranians a bomb in ten years. >> in ten years, eye iranians will get a bomb and there will be no one here. in this case with the g7, to bring in these american politics something that also is i think very important overseas, highlights his juvenile way of viewing foreign affairs, the condition of the world, highlights that as well and i think america, this is why we're in the revolution we're in right now. the world is also generally appalled with his approach and his attitude. and it shows when he does visit certain countries. it's unfortunate, but we'll move beyond this. stuart: 20 seconds, should we
9:26 am
apologize. >> no. ashley: we shouldn't, he gave a pretty good speech. stuart: fair enough, welcome back. ashley: thank you. stuart: game stock-- stop, game stop, the name of the store. it's going to be down this morning, about 28 after closing at nearly 30. it's a video game version of the retail ice age, basically, that's a bricks and mortar store. it's suffering. we're going to take you to wall street and see if you're making any money.
9:30 am
>> all right we're almost ready to start the trading session, three, two, one. i do this all of the time. bang 9:30 off we go. however, ready to be slashed. flat up two, down two, up ten, down ten. not much missouri. early going maybe that will change. remember we're working from a u new economic report that shows our economy, with in america growing at less than 1% annually. truly anemic growth. ashley webster is back, liz mcdonald is leer. scott is in chicago and anthony scare knew chew scaramucci is that a factor in the trading sector at all? >> i don't think so i think it is for a fed centric market and
9:31 am
it is digesting the idea of a possible september rate hike had. >> september. that's what market is sensing. >> discounting june, july? >> board is saying it may happen in june but i don't think janet yellen will make it happen. >> before the election. >> i think -- >> that will be amazing. >> scott you make your point again please u how can federal reserve raise interest rates in june or july when you've got an economy growing at less than 1% annually? >> how are we talking about that? question to them would be what swrow done with my america? twice in a row u now we have had gop, and last time missed a .7 with a .5 and we're not growing. but approaching employment if they're not doing thinking. record number was people not in the job force. why are we con tell plaiting a rate hike? >> right before the presidential election, how could that be?
9:32 am
>> how we be talking about it anyway? what happened to common sense. we're not growing we're selling. economy on recession. global risk and the report. i don't know why we're even having a conversation. >> news headline growing slower than europe. >> good lord. >> last two quarters. >> is that possible? >> anthony -- he got his wish. >> with the fed will say that data driven and improvement starting to get wage growth and basis rate overnight is emergency level interest rates so that's when had they would say. and they have to -- [inaudible] coroner and you have to remember corporate profits are down 4% year over year and trending at 2012 levels. haven't grown. >> no longer the answer people. >> go ahead scott. i hear you. go ahead scott. >> fundamental shift right in
9:33 am
front of our eyes gone from being data dependent reason to raise rates and now hoping this doesn't get worse that's the big ship. >> what a mess. >> can it do it in check out the stock up, gains, profit and sales down, this is a brix and mortar by the way in the world of retailer video games, but the problem is that the people are now downloading their games through their own playing console what game stop has tried to do so expand business like celling cell phone and consumer electronic devices not working. they also blame lack of block buster launch in this quarter but not going to stores either. >> that's the problem but buying online. why -- >> i am. because they make it so easy. you know, you can get -- one of these you click, it's yours. what's wrong with that?
9:34 am
>> a book industry. [laughter] >> not that i play games, of course. how about twitter? two more high level executives are leaving. what's that story? empleght ahead of global business development. nathan leads global media team they're reportedly headed it out on heys in the last several months of other heads of product. engineering and ceo jack dorsey is trying to keep top talent and not doing a good job and try to restructure and reorganize this. a lot of people are jumping. >> that death watch. that death watch in music come oing. >> linkedin website see twitter resumé constantly you have the team in there to make it better. >> why is it that facebook can monetize its users but twitter can't? >> has to do with the time of
9:35 am
the eyeballs this is blogging site but we don't spend a lot of time on it and that's a problem. facebook is destination for people looking through photograph and ideas reading essays, you know it gives you an opportunity to look through -- about twitter feed an news feed. >> that is fascinating. why they can't make money out of a company that is mentioned by almost everyone every day. >> do not make money. bloging sites but ultima i will 140 character blogging site. now five minutes into trading session this friday morning up 24 points pip repeat this is a fairly flat market. now look at target executives say that bathroom policy did not hurt shopper traffic in the first quarter. what's that story? >> here's the headline out of target they're saying you know, basically people are doing less shopping trips they're doing what is called stock up trims but ever since this --
9:36 am
bathroom policy was enacted you know, the stock is down about 20%. they've lost about a 1/5th of their market value. target has not proven or given proof that this has nothing to do with the new bathroom policy. >> but the stock is down what 20%? did you say -- nearly 20%. nearly 20% they lost what -- 9 billion worth of market value since this bathroom policy lost and they say it is not the bathroom policy but people shopping online hurting our brix and brick-and-mortar. >> proof that it did not have an impact because it is deeper than wal-mart or costco or other comparable dollar general stores. >> move on innings to that we watch. we watch these every single day. this is where you put your money. start with amazon it is down a fraction today. 50 cents down at 714 a share. 722 the high.

9:47 am
new york with us with the washington examiner joining us this morning. i don't think this debate i think will be a huge hit. i can't imagine he will not watch that. but i think it's a huge setback for hillary. she's becoming irrelevant. she's not there. >> well everybody would watch it. there's absolutely no doubt about that. but don't really look for it to it happen. everybody is having fun with this debate idea, trump is having fun with it. bernie sanders is having fun with it. jimmy kimmel had fun with it except hillary clinton she's not having any fun with it. but i don't believe it's going to turn into a real debate. but right now what they enjoy is exactly what had you said it's bernie, it's trump hillary soft picture. >> why do you think that debate will take place? there's money in it for everybody. lots of advertising and ten or 15 million bucks for charity. why not? >> one guy has won his party nomination and other guy hasn't.
9:48 am
so i think it would be very helpful or for bernie sanders to be there debating the republican nominee. but it doesn't it make a lot of sense for donald trump to debate the guy who is going to lose the democratic race. >> really? >> veiled thought it would have been good for donald to ace out hillary. okay let me move on for a second because things are so negative or forillary at the moment that i think there are some people beginning to panic on the democrat side. and i think there are some people who believe that maybe hillary will not be eventually the nominee of the democrat party. let's say you. >> well this state department report was absolutely terrible and problem shows she wasn't telling the truth all the way along. go back to that march 2015 news campus first one she had about e-mail where is she explained that oh she only did it because she wanted it was more convenient. she would only have one device instead of two devices and we find that was completely untrue.
9:49 am
she did it for secrecy from the get-go. and i think a lot of democrats view this as an absolutely devastating report, and it's beginning to come back at her time after time after time through this general election campaign regardless of what the justice department does. >> it looks like she could actually lose california on june 7th. let's say you? >> that would be an enormous defeat for her because this is biggest, bluest state. last one on the calendar, i mean, you're supposed to have the thing wrapped up by june. and she won't. on the other hand, i did look back at the 2008 results, the race between clinton and barack obama and she actually won a couple of contests in june. and she won california, barack obama lost california in 2008 and ended up winning the nomination. but it's going to make her look incredibly weak when at the end of this long campaign, she cannot put away the biggest and
9:50 am
bluest state in the country. >> byron nory but thanks for joining us good to see you. >> thank you. hulk hogan gawker lawsuit result, maybe a chilling event on other gossip magazine website i should say. we're dealing with it plus venezuela teaching on collapse. now those socialists are trying to escape and are here in the united states. as memorial day weekend warning of long lines at tsa at the airport get there three hours early. we've got some good news and at the moment we're not seeing disastrous lines just yet but we're going to check on atlanta. . you grow up wanting to be a lawyer, because your dad's a lawyer.
9:51 am
and eventually you land a grown-up job with a 401k and you meet your wife. and you both work constantly... so you're surprised how much you both want kids, and equally surprised you can't have them. sometimes you fight about stupid things. then you move on. but you feel like something is still missing. so together, you adopt a little boy... and then his two brothers... and you up your life insurance because four people depend on you now. then, one weekend, when everyone has a cold and you've spent the whole day lying around watching monster movies on tv, you realize that you didn't plan for any of this, but you wouldn't have done it any other way. no matter who you are or where you end up in life, with the right financial partner, progress is possible. i know what i can expect from usaa because i have my checking with them,
9:52 am
my savings with them, my credit card with them. and then i learned i have this usaa car buying service. the usaa car buying app was really helpful. all the information was laid out right there. i was able to see the savings that i qualified for. it makes your life so much easier when you have to purchase a car, so i've been telling everybody. usaa car buying service, powered by truecar. exclusively for usaa members.
9:54 am
9:55 am
something totally different, however, media, exploring a possible slow after that legal battle with hulk hogan which fuy upset tech investor peter. now here's the question does the case, the gawker case have a chilling effect on other gossip websites? attorney and favorite guest of ours emily is here. there's the question -- gawker lose it is, does that have a negative effect on other gossip website? >> it should have one on gossip website that is what is newsworthy so remember the issue it wasn't x's answer of the sex tape but it is public case of the actual video so yes those sites detebt as a signal what is and what is not will be brought to battle in court. >> what is newsworthy and what's not. >> sure in eyes the jury. but a larger impact on field of journalism and gossip site in general is what we've seen
9:56 am
cameron diaz and sharon stone and celebrities that took accusation to heart saying no, i don't have an eating dissed ordr or cheating on my husband and this has to stop out of nowhere stuff has to stop. >> there's a chilling effect out there that's or already out there this chilling effect on websites. >> resistance of celebrities to salacious gossip are not true . >> okay so what about this? i'm going to show the picture of front picture of a tabloid. and it's -- it's a man who looks like prince charles kissing a young boy. not going to show you,s that's the covert globe. how could they get away with u stuff like that that's in america gawker being shutdown? efnlgt great. well they're a different set of the laws but remember they can have what thepght and repercussions that we see. you mentioned earlier look at poort ousted against his well in 2007 and then he bankrolled ten
9:57 am
years later so there's a sense of the injustice and there's a sense of the wrong that you can come out of seeminglywork to take down the site. j one saying i don't like that and pay for killing. in my quarter. [laughter] emily thank you so much for joining us have a grat weekend. i'm going to calm this a political sea change light you've not seen before. outside terse that trump and sanders they want to debate at a huge stadium in california. meanwhile, hillary clinton becoming shall i say irrelevant? here's a headline for "the new york times" a she's not in the debate and b look at this california is no longer looking like a sure thing for clinton. that is in the knock "new york times" fresh from venezuela people luting grocery trucks. chaos on the street. this is the reality of socialism.
10:00 am
>> new video this hour of the looting and sheer desperation in venezuela. they're raiding food trucks before they get to the stores. they want rice, they want to eat. the country's collapsing. full story for you coming up. democrats hopelessly split, now bernie sanders is putting critics of israel on the party's convention platform. question, for the only jewish republican in the house of representatives, is this an opportunity for the g.o.p. to win more jewish votes? and we have this, president obama criticizing donald trump to foreign leaders and trump fires right back. good morning. here comes hour two of "varney & company". ♪
10:01 am
>> i like that music. i like that music. ashley: it's stirring. stuart: and it does. and we're playing it, of course, in honor of memorial day and memorial day weekend. we honor all of those who serve this country. and it's also one of the busiest travel days of the year. a live look at midway airport in chicago, where are the long lines at security, not there. but we understand they're forming in atlanta. i guess we're bringing you good news from chicago this holiday weekend morning. we we're trying. if you're hitting the roads, national average 2.31, down 40 cents from last year. ashley: yes. stuart: and triple-a says 38 million on the road. ashley: 38 million will travel on the road from now until monday. stuart: they're driving, they don't want to fly. ashley: cheap gas. and i think another reason, we know the hell it is to fly
10:02 am
these days and peeshl -- especially this time of year. you don't want to be driving in a traffic jam like that one, crawling along. we should have showed you the glorious freeways of america. change the video next time. let's get to politics. oh, what a difference, 354 days doth make. in just this time. donald trump has gone from largely dismissed as a candidate to clinching the nomination. he's boasting about it on social media. >> i'll leave it to you to speculate how this whole race is going to go. >> well, i don't think it's likely that donald trump will be the nominee. >> he's not going to be the nominee. >> it's not going to be the nominee, chuck. >> donald trump who is not going to be the nominee. >> donald trump is not going to be the republican nominee. >> donald trump is not getting to 1237. >> he might get to 1237, realistically, i wouldn't bet a dollar on it.
10:03 am
stuart: columnist charles hurd is with us now. were you one of the doubters, charles? >> actually, i was actually from day one, the moment i saw him coming down that he ehe is-- escalator, i thought, this guy could be president. the day after he made that announcement. this is a guy, both parties, the establishment of both parties has completely neglected the average voter. voters have been fed up with this place. they're tired of it. and the frustration is palpable for anybody who goes out and talks to people. everybody is so frustrated and it takes a monstrous change agent like a donald trump to-- who masterfully was able to sort of touch all the nerves that he needed to touch. and that's why i said all along, i think that hillary
10:04 am
clinton or whoever the democratic nominee is is in real trouble. stuart: what blew me away was that he offended a lot of people, a lot of groups of people. his language was truly harsh. that was something brand new that had never seen before and out. i was totally wrong. everything he said he got over ap grew in strength. >> and i think, stuart, that's exactly why so many people liked him so much. it's not necessarily his proposals, or his policy positions, things like that, but the fact that he took political correctness and smashed it on the courthouse steps. people are so tired in both parties, of all the politicians to talk, talk, talk, but never say anything and whatever they-- whenever you do drill down on what they say, turns out it was a lie, you know, in the first place. and of course, all of the stuff about the e-mails with hillary clinton, you know, it's-- i don't think people understand all of this stuff and know the particulars of it, but they know that she's lying and that's--
10:05 am
>> and also, charles, they know that she's not going to be in this debate between bernie and donald trump. i don't know whether that debate will take place, i think it will. i think it will be a huge media event. but hillary is out of it. she's not part of it. i think that makes her-- i hate to say irrelevant, but you know, that word comes to mind, doesn't it? >> it sure does and i mean, i pray that this debate comes to pass. and i love that it was hammered out on late night comedy tv. it's a perfect way to-- you know, jimmy kimmel should be our debate moderator for, you know, going forward and hammering out the deals between democrats and republicans for the debate. stuart: i'm sorry, charles, i just couldn't quite hear that, what you were saying there. forgive me, i'm sorry. i've got somebody in my ear that would not go away. are you saying there will be a debate? >> i pray that there will be a debate. there has to be a debate for the good of the country and i
10:06 am
mean, it will be the single most watched political event probably in american history liz: there's news on this. bernie sanders wants a debate with donald trump before the california primary. stuart: i tell you what, charles, i will be watching. i'll watch the replays, i'll watch the highlights and watch that thing beginning to end and i bet they get an audience of 40 million. >> it will be massive, bigger than the debates so far. they've blown all the records. stuart: i suspect you're having a good time. charles. >> it's a time to feast. stuart: thank you for joining us. >> thank you. stuart: check out the dow jones industrial average. this is a narrow, narrow trading day. we're up 25 points, but 17,852. the price of oil, just below $49 a barrel. check game stop. that's a bricks and mortar video game retailer, profit and sales down and the stock is down what, 6% there.
10:07 am
more shoppers and higher sales at the discounter, big lots. that hit a 52-week high of 50, a little earlier. this continues the story. discounters, cheaper goods, the people that sell goods at a cheap pace, a cheap price. they're doing very, very well in this retail ice age. look at this, what you're looking at is new video out of venezuela and liz, i think you've got this for us liz: yes, this comes on the heels of the video that we've got of people eating garbage. take us through this liz: what is happening, poor people are raiding a grocery truck for rice and this is near caracas, near there. and the president hand picked by hugo chavez, he does not want a default. he's basically draining the
10:08 am
country of its gold reserves at record lows. so we've got-- this is a situation that's growing more dire by the hour. stuart: that's chaotic liz: but the government is saying, we have it under control. it doesn't. essentially what we're seeing now is a move away from the food lines where people waited hours for food to outright looting. stuart. >> that's what you're looking at there. in the video you brought to us yesterday. you could see national guard troops watching the looters and the rice truck. they don't have it under control liz: they don't. the national guard is standing back. here is the issue, too. if venezuela defaults, it would be the biggest default in the history of the country, of the world. so, the debt level is twice what it was. ashley: the desperation liz: the situation is really bad and we're hearing from boots on the ground, they're worried about a news blackout. worried about a military crackdown. they're saying that the government will not accept
10:09 am
outside medical help from who because it would be too embarrassing to do so. stuart: coming up on this program in a few minutes' time. we'll talk to the caracas-born mayor of doral, d-o-r-a-l, in florida, one of the biggest venezuelan populations in the country. we'll have the mayor from doral shortly liz: this is socialism breaking down. where is sean penn. >> somebody should ask bernie sanders. stuart: maybe donald trump in the debate will ask him about that, if he does. the tsa is asking for congress for more money to fix the lines of security in the airport. the agency warns even with more funds we should be expecting longer wait times. now, jeff flock is at the airport in chicago, i think he's at midway. jeff, we spoke with you last hour. no lines and i can see behind
10:10 am
you now, no lines. >> i don't think they need extra money, they're doing fine. look at this, they eliminated the k-9 the team out here, they bring them on the early rush hours and late rush hours, still no lines here. look, they've got non-tsa personnel now checking people through, doing some of the tasks that the tsa used to do. seems to be working smoothly. i think as i'm sure you'll agree, how government can respond to a channel and democracy can work to our advantages. >> listen to flock. sarcasm is a low form of wit and don't try it on this program. government bureaucracy doesn't work well and you go out there and rustle up a line or two. [laughter] the democrats split, it time over the mideast. bernie, aligning himself with two outspoken critics of israel.
10:11 am
a deep divide within the party. the republicans may use this to their advantage. we'll talk about that one. first, let me show you this, this is a russian robot, of course, called ivan the terminator. they're calling it russia's answer to ironman. russians newspapers say this thing will replace soldiers one day, it shoots gun and teaching it to drive. it can withstand high temperatures. can i show it to you. the russian robot liz: do laundry? >> more varney after this. ♪
10:14 am
10:15 am
ulta, u-l-t-a, salons, hair and cosmetics chain. same-store sales, they've got over a thousand across the country. up 15%. gr to china, new signs of escalating tension in the south china sea, what's that story? >> news satellite imagery obtained by fox news shows that china obtained a drone with stealth technology to one of the contested islands, woody island, the same island where the satellites have shown surface to air missile positions set up on this island. we also know that the chinese military is poised to send subs with nuclear missiles into the pacific ocean. that's the first time that's ever happened, for what they call naval patrols. they blame all of this on aggression by the united states, that quote, leaves them no option. so lots going on in the south china sea and they're continuing to ramp up defenses,
10:16 am
runways, the militerization of that area. where this all goes, we don't know, but their intention is very clear. stuart: china's leader told he would not militarize the deal. ashley: we have the prove that's not true. stuart: look at that, that's militerizati militerization. bernie sanders is adding professor cornell west and minnesota congressman ellison to his platform drafting committee. this sets policy for the party in the election. both of those men are outspoken critics of israel. with us now is congressman from new york, only jewish republican in the house of representatives. congress, welcome to the program. >> happy to be here. stuart: 70% of the jewish vote in the last several elections has gone to the democrats. after this, with these two people on the policy drafting committee, do you think this is an opening for republicans to get more of the jewish vote? >> well, there is no question about it. and this is related to
10:17 am
president obama's foreign policy, the way that he has growing daylight between himself and prime minister netanyahu. this is a new issue where the last democratic convention they were setting a platform. they have a growing element in the democratic base that is pro palestinian. i've been in the house foreign affairs committees where half the crowd is code pink to bring israeli leaders on war crimes. so, ronald reagan got a lot of the jewish vote. it hasn't happened since. >> i'm asking sort of a leading question. how important is israel and its security to the american jewish community? >> well, it's important for any american, whether you're jewish or non-jewish, israel is one of our greatest allies, if not the
10:18 am
greatest in the world. certainly in the middle east. with everything going on around her, we should be strengthening relationships with our greatest allies like israel. right now we're treating israel like iran and iran like israel. there are jewish voters who voted democrat and will always vote democrat, but there are more and more people ready to vote republican because of obama and because of the pro-palestinian movement within the democratic party. stuart: and also the iran nuke deal which turned into a shambles and a direct threat to israel. do you think it's possible in this election six months from now, that the republican candidate, donald trump would get half the jewish vote? is that possible? >> well, half would be a lot, compared to where mitt was in 2012.
10:19 am
now, mitt romney got about a third. george h.w. bush, a couple of decades before that, only got about 12%. so, the trend is certainly one that allows for donald trump to grow, which can help him in a state like florida, especially. it could even help him in a state like new york if some point the ball gets closer. even a place like new york could be in play, but florida is definitely going to be important. the iran nuclear deal is an issue that is certainly one that can't be ignored. the iranians call israel the little satan and america the great satan and chanting death to america. the other thing, the growing group on. stuart: it's terrible on colleges today, anti-semitism is right up there, it's reared its ugly head on campus and i
10:20 am
think it's a flat-out disgrace. congressman, i'm out of time. come back and see us again, okay? >> looking forward to it. stuart: thank you, sir, appreciate it. i've got some live pictures to us from fresno, california. later today, donald trump will hold a rally there. where donald goes, so do the protesters. a small group outside the venue. okay, we'll be checking on that for you later on. disturbing pictures from europe. 4,000 migrants rescued in one day. the italian coast guard picked them up and brought them ashore. a number of boats capsized this week. 4,000 in one day. meanwhile, six flags in new jersey closing its newest ride just hours after it happened. the public not allowed on. cheryl casone, our own cheryl, there she is, she was there when they shut it down. we'll tell you about it. and this, a government study linking cell phone use to cancer. doc segal says not that big a

10:34 am
share where's it going right now? >> 52 week high is 32% higher it so see that probably in next 12 months. >> back to 130? >> i think so. >> andrew aarons now you also leak american express. what's the case? >> american express is, you know, in a situation where they lost the contract with costco everyone knows that. stock deteriorated it down 30% has come back quite a bit right now. but it looks like -- american express is going to get, you know, they have a billion dollar slash cutting with with their jobs and everything. so i think that the market is unfavorable right now to american express. i think they're going to do well. they have a 2% dividend and i think that american express is going to probably move -- make a nice move. >> $63 now. going where? >> that i think you can see that stock and $80 a share. >> 80 not bad. i was surprised how value the
10:35 am
costco deal was to american express on whether costco deal to the use only used one card that was american express that was it. they drop that or in the process of dropping it and dropped 30% because of that? >> drop more because of that. and then you know -- there was a lot of neftion out there that could trickle down to other things. but it looks like they're starting to get their act together and american express could do well. >> thank you. i want to talk about a company which is not potentially traded. it is private, and sort of a number surrounding this company are astonishing i'm talking about snapchat a social media site with disappearing messages some of us use it all of the time deliberately u now valued at wait for it, 17 billion dollars. >> yeah. that's right. raising more money. >> 1.8 billion. big names in here invest. bought pieces of the snapchat

[laughter] >> okay this is a very difficult transition to make baa you're looking at chaos in venezuela. desperation. what you're actually looking at is a food truck being looted it before it gets to the stores.

saving it and now finding resistance to it developing i'm very, very concerned about this. flght because who else organism could mutate further. >> it is hard to treat and a common bacteria in urinary infection and gastrointestinal infection and we have problems with it and other big headline had here is we don't make enough antibiotics anymore you know why, drug companies don't make enough money on them and not a lot of profit involved with antibiotics because you only need it when you're sick. >> leats bug, superbug if you've got it does it kill you? >> in the case of the woman in pennsylvania who got it no resistant to this particular antibiotic and they were able to use different onces but it ever connects with another type of resistance that we worry about, you're going to have untreatable bacteria we're close to having an untreatable bacteria very scary. doctor thank you so much.

weekend. we remember those who sacrificed everything for our freedom. here is what is new this hour. wake up at 8:00 there. virginia governor, close friend of the clintons, video emergence of him attending a clinton fundraiser with a chinese businessman who is under investigation for illegal campaign contributions. we will show you the whole video. the irs still grabbing money from business owners who have done nothing wrong without notice and without paying it back. new video from the collapse of venezuela, looting food trucks before they reach the food stores. they are eating out of the trash. that is socialism in venezuela. check the big board. i have never seen a period where it goes nowhere for so long. memorial day weekend. stuck at plus 20 for much of the morning. we did get a late reading on the
11:01 am
economy today. it shows our economy growing at a growth rate of less than 1% a year. i don't think much to that. here is the cohost of outnumbered. former person on this program, sandra smith. sandra: i will be here anytime you want. sandra: ashley webster and liz mcdonald on board. that is rotten, my opinion, a 0.8% annual growth rate is flat out rotten. i say that is very good news for donald trump and bad news for hillary. sandra: whenever he makes any campaign speech about the economy you are talking a near 0 growth in this country, there is no excuse for it. consumer spending why aren't we seeing a boost in consumer spending? they are spending more on food, consumer spending more on housing. healthcare. stuart: the deductible on obama
11:02 am
care. sandra: the extra money they are saving in their pockets is where it is going. stuart: i characterize the economic report is weak but the white house says otherwise. liz: they say they have more work to do. the white house is kicking it to congress saying we are calling on congress to support policies that boost long-term growth. what we are seeing in the gdp report is corporate profits are down nearly 4% year-over-year flatlining at 2012 levels, the white house talking about more government spending, corporate earnings trending down and the white house growing slower than europe. stuart: the us growing more slowly. the e.u. gdp. they are doing better than we are. liz: for the last two quarters.
11:03 am
stuart: put it in perspective. that is the perspective you want. big-name stocks, where are they now? we go up 25 points. the big names not moving very much at all today. the market is not moving much. markets going nowhere. any comment on that? sandra: i watch all these companies very closely because these are names we all know. the technology sector, a lot of people looking for a wake-up call, what is new? what is the next driver behind growth? ashley: they have not been able to match that. stuart: those other companies most americans who buy individual stocks are buying into. and on the day before memorial day weekend. >> we still have them going down the second half of the year.
11:04 am
i can bet a lot of people who trade stocks. i am very competitive. stuart: an interesting story. not sure how to take it. 4 in 10 americans say they take social security as soon as they can, 62 years of age. these are people surveyed, they are in their 50s and four out of ten, 62. does that tell you anything? sandra: very high cost, needing to take this money earlier than they are supposed to end earlier than they should. tells us the state of the
11:05 am
economy. tough time, the length of time we are staying on the planet, life expectancy is going up, but we have people trying to take out retirement funds earlier and earlier. stuart: that is misleading, 40% dip into retirement. you take it at 62 or 66 or whatever your age is, you don't take part, not a 401(k). sandra: which they are doing. stuart: they are dipping into the 401(k) and ira of earlier and prepared to pay a 10% penalty and pay tax on what they take out. it is a rotten deal. sandra: it feeds into the political environment, people are upset, angry, our lives changed, money is stretching less far. it is ugly.
11:06 am
stuart: the trick is you borrow money from your 401(k) to pay the ira and got to pay it back so you get lump-sum but pay it back, you are paying yourself back and interest goes to you. i like that. if you are taking it out and paying a penalty. sandra: if you are in a job where you make regular payments if you lose that job you are at major risk for paying that back and you are in a financial shape. i am just pointing out. just saying. stuart: not so sure how secure my job is but i'm doing all right. virginia governor, a close friend of the clintons, new video of him attending a fundraiser, clinton fundraiser with a business guy from china. he is under investigation for illegal campaign donations. ashley: $120,000 in
11:07 am
contributions. him. this footage shows the businessman going into hillary's house for a fundraiser. by all accounts people say they shook hands. the fact that mcauliffe, you may not remember him but the fact remains he was there for hillary fundraiser and the fbi is probing the amount of money where the money came from his own campaign. stuart: terry mcauliffe got $100,000 for the campaign but also gave $2 million to the clinton foundation. i want to know why a chinese businessman who is a member of chinese parliament is giving $2 million to the clinton foundation and what he got in return. liz: saying he is a us citizen. stuart: don't care about the legality of it. why did he give $2 million to the clinton foundation?
11:08 am
china's parliament -- the clinton foundation. >> never saw or met that. >> i love how you act shocked. stuart: job security. staying on hillary clinton, proposed debate between bernie sanders and donald trump looks like it might happen. here is what they said. role both tapes. >> i would love to debate him but i want a lot of money put up for charity. if we can raise for maybe women's health issues or something, if we can raise $10 million or $15 million for charity, that would be an appropriate amount, i understand the television business very well, we get very high ratings. >> we ask donald trump if he would be prepared to debate. [cheers and applause] >> it appears donald trump is prepared to debate.
11:09 am
stuart: hillary is not in this. she looked irrelevant. >> we are reminded of her words in 2008, anyone running for the highest office in the land should be willing to debate anywhere at any time and now she is saying not now, not today, not there. that being said, this would be awesome. bernie sanders's campaign says every tv network has reached out to them saying we want to do it because it will be amazing. >> sanders wants to do it before the california primary. of the one june 7th, that is a week from tuesday. >> end of the close primary. you have to be a registered democrat to vote. stuart: who would not watch that debate? big stadium. millions of people traveling for memorial day weekend. we were warned about long lines, security lines at the airport but in chicago it is looking clear, jeff flock is that midway airport.
11:10 am
what is the latest? any lines? jeff: i found a line for you. 30 minutes for a cappuccino, congressional hearings expected next week. the tsa not so much of a problem but i will say this, you told me no sarcasm. a guy showed me a video of tuesday this week at midway with lines out the years, tsa has all hands on deck. can they maintain this throughout the summer? that remains to be seen. stuart: we will be back later on. sandra: stuart varney scared everyone from flying, don't fly, getting your car and drive. that is the place to be. ashley: go to o'hare instead. stuart: we have reports of lines in atlanta. unconfirmed.

11:16 am
suggests you are engaging in illegal activity to circumvent that law so innocent taxpayers, innocent small businesses they get cash deposits when they go in and regularly make these bank account deposits. empty their bank account, guilty until proven innocent without any evidence of illegal activity on the part of small businesses. this is really bad. this is been happening for years, small businesses getting slammed. the irs as we changed the policy, you have to return the money. that is going on, tens of millions of dollars, small business on the verge of bankruptcy because the irs is incompetent. even though they say they changed the law and said they won't do this without proof of illegal activity they are not returning the money, have yet to return the money. stuart: the irs has pretty bad publicity, really bad. liz: the irs commissioner who didn't show up for his impeachment hearing showed
11:17 am
appear to apologize at the congressional hearing. stuart: okay. i don't take it all back but look at donald trump. he reached the magic number 1237, the delegates he needs to secure the nomination releasing a video marking the people who doubted him. you got to watch this. >> i leave it to you to speculate how this race is going to go. >> not likely donald trump will be the nominee. he won't be the nominee. >> he won't be the nominee. donald trump who is not going to be the nominee. >> donald from won't be the nominee. >> donald will not get 1237. >> he might get to 1237. realistically i wouldn't get a dollar on it. stuart: ed rollins is here, proton great america pack cochair. >> thank you for not putting me in that video because i was going to be right there saying he was not going to be the nominee when he started. we had 13 candidates, very significant candidates. of the one who didn't say i doubt donald trump will be the
11:18 am
nominee? >> that complements what he did do. he tapped into the revolution out there in the country better than all the established politicians and to a certain extent that is why this wrapped up and a real contender. stuart: what do you make of this debate? seems like bernie and donald trump wants to have this debate. >> it is not going to come about. at the end of the day, trump will debate, sanders, the logistics not quite happening. if it did it would totally overshadow everything else, california primary as you said earlier, hillary will be totally irrelevant for the important week before. stuart: if there is a debate and she is not in it and it is in california right before the primary. >> sanders would win california and she limps into the convention, she will be the nominee but badly hurt by it and it is two views, bernie sanders is a socialist, trump would
11:19 am
point that out, the things he said, dangerous things he said and it will be a wonderful debate. stuart: you are a political professional, that is what you do. you are telling us you think bernie sanders would win california? >> he close to to two points in a reputable poll. i predict he has the support of the people who will go out and vote, volunteers, young people. it is going to be a real interesting race but he will have it. stuart: what about the general? is it possible that donald trump would win california? >> i am a california man. i grew up in california. we now lose california by 3 million votes. that is a big margin to make up. the entire margin of obama's victory last time was 4.2 million votes, those two states, california and new york
11:20 am
he won everywhere else, hard to make up those two states. we want don't think you can win new york? >> you can be -- california is pretty hard. florida you definitely can be competitive. pennsylvania and some others. stuart: pennsylvania and ohio. >> we have to in ohio and florida or we can't get to 270. we got to win those states and add pennsylvania and the states romney carried you get 276. stuart: i wasn't supposed to be doing any math. >> you have to preserve yourself to ride in the helicopter to the vacation spot you are going for the summer. stuart: whatever you say. ed rollins, pro-trump guy, good to have you with us. the governor of louisiana signing into law a blue lives matter bill. we tell you what is in that bill and we will tell you what bernie sanders is saying about police officers. we going to the memorial day weekend for what you are about to hear is toby keith, american

11:26 am
of body cameras on tops is controversial. in denver they saw an 18% drop in the likelihood of cops making an arrest when they were body cameras but bernie sanders is tweeting that the federal government should fund body cameras. there is a host of problems. ashley: on the hook for this, the state issue. government shouldn't been mandating police forces across the country, should be required to wear body cameras. stuart: the bathroom issue, since when does the federal government dictate bathroom policy to the states? liz: the issue you get the federal government involved at the state and local level with cops. stuart: we are in this narrow range, right before the holiday weekend the dow jones average is up 20 points, it has been there the last couple hours. game stop profits down, sales down, stock is down 6.5%.

11:32 am
days and hillary has had a perfectly rotten couple of days. stuart: he was really enjoying himself. we are laughing at this impending debate, leslie marshall is with us, committed leftist democrat, welcome to the program. what do you make of this debate? if hillary is there she is irrelevant. >> he has 14 million votes, she is the democratic nominee, and the first female president, leading nation, pretty relevant, and money goes to charity and both bernie and donald would like to make hillary irrelevant but it is amazing also that you don't need to be on that debate stage with a two of them to be the nominee or even to be the president and hillary clinton will prove that. stuart: with me now is a
11:33 am
satirist, been kissell. what does he have to say about the debate and hillary not being there. >> obviously it is going to be a huge increase in ratings but she is not there. it might help ratings for sure. they called bill clinton the first black president because he could play the saxophone on arsenio hall. it doesn't necessarily mean because hillary is a woman she will be the first female president. if you look at the motion in donald trump i would almost argue he is more feminine than hillary. stuart: you are on dangerous ground. >> i love women and that is a consummate to donald. stuart: no certainty this debate will take place. it is a proposal, bernie and trump want to do this. but no certainty. >> have to lowercase down to commentate. stuart: everybody wants to see it. leslie, this is for you. a way to look at this video.
11:34 am
hope you can see it, this is venezuela. it is shocking. these are people rating, looting of food truck. this came from liz mcdonald. she got it for us was on the left-hand side of the screen they are eating food out of trash. this extraordinary. this is what socialism does. how can bernie sanders run as a socialist in america when this is going on in venezuela? >> being that i am pro-hillary, thank you for pointing that out and this is one of the reasons democrats need to look at the difference between a desire, the united states is very different from venezuela not only historically, economically, demographically, but this is why hillary clinton is the better choice, because she knows capitalism is a good thing but not having no federal government which would be more what donald trump would like, there has to
11:35 am
be a balance between how much government involvement you have helping the country and its people and the robust economy has a balance of both with capitalism and with government and the experience of donald trump saying government bad and bernie sanders says capitalism and wall street all bad and the point why bernie sanders supporters need to look at what they want versus what they truly can get. stuart: i am from the government, i am here to help you. been kissell, what do you make of venezuela? >> they owe $16 billion and have $15 billion and have kneecaps. in america they would get those shattered. i have to agree with leslie. the difference between socialism and capitalism is those people look like individuals in this country at an old country buffet
11:36 am
lining up to do marshmallows into the chocolate fountain which is a brilliant, brilliant invention but it is a socialist country so they are digging for a dumpster fire. those of the differences. old country buffet versus dumpster fire, both are being fed but you argue what is better. stuart: you got me going there. i got one more for you. this is donald trump's post on instagram, he is eating mcdonald's on board his $70 million plane. pretty good publicity for mcdonald's. >> absolutely. i love the picture. brings me back to bill clinton. if you remember the great phil hartman sketch on snl, went to mcdonald's, mcnuggets and fries, that brought me back to that moment, my heartstrings were pooled in favor of donald trump. makes him seem like a reasonably smart guy. no matter how wealthy, you can enjoy mcdonald's literally when you are 34 years old?
11:37 am
i won't make any comment. >> is it bad? is a good? stuart: it is great. almost precisely half my age. that really annoys me. leslie marshall, i do appreciate it, great weekend to you. we have gone up a little bit. 34 points higher and that is the dow industrials right before a holiday weekend. a string of beauty salons are up 9.5%, they turn into remarkable sales performance up 15%, same stores year over year, they have 900 stores in america which i did not know. i am calling the long lines at airports the failure of government and i have a solution for you, get out there and drive.

11:43 am
airlines, one airline, the top guy at the tsa says you better get to the airport three hours before your flight. he expect more lines this summer. how are we supposed to react to this gross failure of government? we are paying top dollar for seat and top dollar to check bags and we are supposed to go quietly down the security line, kids in tow for a couple happy hours, i think not. it is another black eye for all government all the time administration and a lot of people are saying enough. why not drive? it is much cheaper than flying especially if traveling with the family. it is convenient, you step into your car and luggage goes in your own truck, you can take liquids with you, don't have to take your shoes off and there is no patdown. you are sitting with your own music and food and the kids have their own devices. you are in your own space.

11:47 am
action from happening. and not going back unless you fix this problem. it is an outrage. unless we forget, i was a judge on the bench from chief justice -- to privatize all the security at the airport, remember the big push, they hired all of the private security guards except for those 100 or 200 who didn't graduate from high school. there was no change, you just moved the private sector employees over and made them government union employees. which makes them less accountable and that is why they are so protected. stuart: i have a chrysler town and country and i'm going to get out there and drive. >> i love driving as well. stuart: it is the american way.

11:49 am
hours a day, a two our period, and it wasn't every day, it was at intervals but they found their was a link but only in male rats. they don't know why. they never did release the results on the mice so you have the mice conspiracy theory out there but what difference does it make? they send these results to the fcc? the fcc over stays healthy standards of cell phones. they read the report and they are looking at it at it won't have any major impact on cell phone safety standards if you like. there is no link. and brain cancer rates for the last 30 years. and no increase in brain cancer at all. stuart: donald trump and bernie sanders want to debate each
