blame it on macro uncertainty rather than what is happening in their own business. [closing bell rings] we could have a fairly muted earnings season. liz: i think you're right. nothing muted about today. we're closing at highs of session. look out for the fear trade. we hand it over to melissa and david for "after the bell." david: stocks are reversing course ending the day higher. dow jones industrials up about 77 points. s&p is up and nasdaq bigger winner of all percentage wise. hi, everybody, i'm david asman. melissa: i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." we have you covered on the markets. here is what else we have coming up this hour. political contenders going on offense unleashing harsh attacks against the other. hillary clinton hits donald trump on his business record in atlantic city, for his part, donald is taking on "crooked hillary" and rigged system. the fbi director is preparing to defend the agency's decision to

not to prosecute hillary clinton. lawmakers calling for emergency hearing on capitol hill. david: that should be fun. the fed says again it is in no hurry to trade rates. scott shellady watching trade on oil and gold. cme. and lori rothman on the floor of the new york stock exchange. lori, first to you. >> thanks, david. great to see you. we end up on a up note. what a reversal of fortune. the dow is off 12points at the low. -- 127 points at the low. a lot had to do with fet minutes from the the latest meeting. fed is in no her to race rates. amazon proving it runs things in the retail world. amazon hitting another lifetime high, just one month after doing that already. and son way outperforming the s&p 500. and then you have this analyst

at suntrust robinson upgrading price target to $775. closing at 737. you see that is a lot of elbow room for amazon. look at biotech. lifted nasdaq index. a big theme rising drug prices should lift what has been a struggling sector of late. biotech names with a nice gap up. is that right way to say it gaps up? big gains. melissa: thank you so much, lori. gold is up for a third day as investors look for safety. talk to me about that trade. >> it is a kind of a follow-on, over last three or four months or last six years we've seen a lot of commodities got beaten up as dollar got cheaper at beginning of the year, we saw a bottom put in. silver and gold on decent run that continues to be the case until we get some sort of a plan out of britain or the ecb what

they're going to do going forward as far as the european union. we mead them both to be strong to keep the rallies boeing. can't see treasurys and commodities rally together too long without that being a warning sign. melissa: absolutely, scott. thank you so much for that. david? david: as we mentioned the minutes from the federal reserve june meetings showing more vocal group of doves for the fed, wanting to delay another hike out to the year 2097. let's get their market panel. david dietze from point view wealth management. and kevin kelly, recon capital partners. i exaggerated a little bit, david. you know what i'm saying. when the hell will they ever get the backbone to do what is necessary to put in a rate hike. >> that is not at all clear. investors grappling with the "brexit" uncertainty they took a heart in little uncertainty as the federal reserve has up its sleeve.

one of the big bogey men of the market, higher rates seems to be off the table. we could see accommodative policy if the flight out of the pound and euro pushes the dollar to the point where it becomes too strong -- david: yellen, talking about negative interest rates, i don't want to go there, but kevin, the fact is savers in this country, and that is a lost old people and frankly a lot of voters, these are the people who go out regularly and vote they will have a big say in the election particularly hear donald trump talk about janet yellen and zero interest rate policy it might becoming a political issue, don't you. >> it is becoming heavily politicized. david: it should be. this affects everybody. >> if you look at fed balance sheet at $4 trillion. guess what the imf couple weeks ago came out and said middle class is at 30-year low. there is concern from global regulators. what has quantitative easing really gotten us? gotten us stock buybacks and nothing for the real economy.

david: let's be clear. got wall street a lot of cash and killing middle class and savers. talking about inflation not being high enough. "wall street journal" had a big piece over the weekend how middle class parent are getting killed. price of raising a kid going way up. going up at twice the rate of inflation. while we're being told by janet yellen and other muckket at this mix, middle class know there is inflation. >> education, health care, no question there is inflation. now the question with the fed having limited tools being on the sideline what is is government going to do? what i'm watching for which candidate comes out definitive proposal across the board, tax cuts and i think that is coming down this road. melissa: more trouble for tesla. the second cash involving the car's autopilot reported by "detroit free press." the passenger and driver were

not injured in the crash luckily. they said quote, we attempted to contact the consumer three times by phone without success based on the information we have. now we have no reason to believe autopilot had anything to do with the accident. david, are these incidents starting to catch up with tele? what do you think? >> absolutely, melissa. no one is in surprised in the race to develop autonomous car there would be a fatality. what is concerning here the reaction by the company. it looks like a mini cover-up. as usual the reaction, not the actual event. coming on heels of fraught with conflict, potential takeover of solarcity by mr. musk, i think raises real doubts about quality of the management. melissa: kevin, to say you tried to call three times tease people in this accident. send someone to their house. it is kind of a big deal. we have no reason to believe autopilot had anything to do with it. no one expects autopilot expect

to be perfect at this point in time. swoop in. doing something positive? where am i going wrong with it. >> you're not doing anything wrong. autopilot you open up "the wall street journal" and you relax. driver error also plays into these things as well. that is what tesla tried to come across. these type of accidents consistently happened. google even had a self-driving car into car accident with another autonomous self-driving car. this is not independent of tesla. these is aross the board. they're developing technologies. not meant to be set it and forget. david: company under pressure following a downgrade from jeffries which cites u.s. growth concerns. so kevin what is the bad news for jeffries based on? >> you know, it is really not, everyone anticipated that the u.s. growth wasn't going to be robust. they're planning on -- david: that is not news though. we've known that for years. >> it is all about international subscriber growth. they have even said it themselves, netflix on the last call this was a transition year.

people as well as investors should be expecting this. they're doing their investment across the globe. but i think jeffries along with other research shops want them to do core investments in the wealthiest spots just playing across emerging markets. david: what is surprising, jeffries down grade just as they announced deal with comcast. comcast putting netflix device on the box or get them in the box. free ride for comcast on netflix. that is pretty good deal. >> this is ultimate at this sell on news. trading 21 times earnings no room for misstep or uncertainty. why did they have to go into the partnership? people are selling based on news. david: gotcha. selling on the news. david, kevin, appreciate it. melissa. >> investors arrive in sun valley. the conference is known for producing some of the biggest media deals ever. adam shapiro is standing by in sun valley with the latest.

adam. reporter: not just media moguls and tech giants are here. president from argentina flying in. justin trudeau, prime minister of canada is here, speaking to attendees. but what we all get excited about are the deals. in the past there was verizon aol deal hatched at sun valley at the conference. that was $4.4 billion deal. discussions they have closed to the press, closed to the public, discussions about the future where media and tech might be joining forces and going forward. nobody knows that better than barry diller. we had to the opportunity to speak with barry diller. he has no problem with chord cutting and what that is doing with cable tv. this is what he told us. >> the internet where you can publish direct without going through anybody. use our video. use all sorts of devices to do it, will allow creators, i think

for the first time to not be dominated by distributors on all together healthy condition. reporter: so this is a place where multibillion-dollar deals are struck. i don't think reed hoffman, who is here, linkedded inn will look for any deals. he just sold the company. made over a billion dollars. michael dell is here. his company went private not too long ago. sheri redstone is here. involved in legal battles for control of viacom. john donahue from paypal. the ceos from airbnb, pinterest and dropbox or perhaps ipo in the future or sale in the future that stuff goes on here among a beautiful backdrop and plenty of booze to make everybody ready to deal. melissa: what a name dropper you turned out to be adam shapiro. thank you so much. reporter: bff. david: hard to avoid it out here. hurting our heroes, new charges against the department of veterans affairs. why a congressional report

calling for urgent reform again, at the va! when are they going to get this right. melissa: divided we stand. a woman kicked out of a restaurant showing support for donald trump. we're breaking down growing animosity on both sides of political aisle. david: comey's big faceoff with congress. emergency hearing on capitol hill and why he exposed hillary clinton for quote, extremely careless behavior and stopped way short of indicting her. >> i would really like to know the difference between carelessness and negligence because the director frequently referred to intent but at that is not in the statute. if you are grossly negligent in the handling of classified information, which clearly based on the fact pattern that the director laid out, she was, why is that different?

>> nothing that i sent or received was mark classified and nothing has been demonstrated to contribute that. >> seven email chains concerned matters that were classified at the top secret, special access program, at the time they were sent and received. >> i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two. >> secretary clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at state department. and she also used numerous mobile devices to send and to read email on that personal domain. >> system we used set up for president clinton's office and, it had numerous safeguards and there were no security breaches. >> it is possible that hostile actors gained access to secretary clinton's personal email account.

>> did you try the wipe the whole server? >> i have no idea. that is why we turned it over -- >> you were in charge of it. did you wipe the server? >> like with a cloth or something? >> it is also likely there are other work-related emails they did not produce to state and we did not find elsewhere and are now gone because they deleted all emails they did not produce to state and lawyers then cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery. david: despite all those contradictions and all of the charges by comey yesterday, he is heading to capitol hill to answer for himself. the fbi director will testify in front of the house oversight and government reform committee tomorrow. comey is coming under harsh criticism about the agency's decision not to recommend charges against hillary clinton despite all the charges he said against hillary clinton. joining me, andrew mccarthy, "the national review" contributing editor, former u.s. district attorney for southern

district much new york. andy, first of all, do you agree with me comey laid out a very compelling case that what she did was grossly negligent, which is against the law? >> dave, i not only think that, i think, it was an overwhelming case and, you know the jim comey i know and fbi he leads, i think probably, at most he understated it but if he says that is what the evidence shows, then i'm willing to take that to the bank. david: but let's just focus a little bit more on this before we leave it because the law is -- we can put the law up there. it is statute 18 usc, u.s. code, number 793-f. we put it up here. i'm not going to bother reading it. everybody pretty much knows it is not vague. i mean, here's the key question. he admitted yesterday, comey said that there was extreme carelessness on the part of the way hillary clinton dealt with

top secrets. isn't that the same as gross negligence? >> i believe it is. i think that, i think i heard mine and jim's old boss, rudy giuliani talking with some of you guys yesterday saying that, look, at the end of a trial where the charge instructs the jury on the law, he would have to define the terms of the statute and if asked what gross negligence meant, that the judge would define that term as extreme carelessness. i don't see any difference. david: andy, isn't willful violation of the law, of the rules, in a way that puts our own national security at risk worth an indictment? >> it doesn't even have to be willful. under the statute it just has to be gross negligence, so yes, absolutely it should. david: what happened? you do know jim comey. you respect jim comey. what happened to jim comey? >> i don't know what happened. all i know, i mean i don't know what the operation of his mind is.

i know that he laid out what i considered to be an overwhelming case. i really don't understand why he made a recommendation against the weight of his evidence when he didn't have to make a recommendation. and what i particularly didn't understand was the comment that no reasonable prosecutor could disagree with where he came out because it seems to me a lot of us do. david: let's talk about the confluence of events. we don't have much time. look what happened in the past seven days. this extraordinary meeting between clinton and the attorney general, bill clinton and the attorney general which was clearly not an accident. there are 24,000 private planes that land and take off every day. this was not a chance meeting. then you have the president and hillary clinton zipping off to a fund-raiser, before comey has come out and said anything, about whether she was going to be indicted. there seems to be too much inside information going on.

>> well there's a lot to be suspicious of. on the other hand, if there is a big conspiracy and comey is in on it, why does he lay out a really damning factual report against mrs. clinton under circumstances where he didn't have to do that? he could have just passed it along to the justice department without going public? david: bottom line, we have to wrap. donald trump is saying this is a rigged game. we're playing it at a card game where people are cheating. i think what happened, and correct me if i'm wrong, that comey made a political, not a legal decision but a political. he did not want the fbi playing a role in this election, which they clearly would have done if she was indicted. is that your belief? >> i disagree with that, david, because i think that no matter what the fbi did here it was going to be treated with politics. should be liberating as long as

we -- one way or other let's do the right thing. david: i'm not saying i agree. i agree it should be based on legal, not political decisions i think that might be what happened. at any rate, andrew, your opinions as always are valuable. thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks, david. david: really appreciate it. stay tuned to fox business. we have live coverage of the fbi director's testimony, all starts 10 a.m. eastern time tomorrow. this is must-see television. melissa. melissa: with only a few weeks left until the start of the republican, democratic conventions donald trump is playing catch-up with hillary clinton to raise money. trump raising total of $51 million during the month of june and last week of may. compare that to hillary clinton's fund-raising haul of $68 million alone. trump campaign issued a statement thanking supporters for their support. david: donald trump renewing attacks against likely opponent. email battles are far from over. lack of good-quality jobs for

americans. why government regulations are not, i repeat, are not the answer. ♪

[announcer] is it a force of nature? or a sales event? the summer of audi sales event is here. and i quit smoking with chantix. i have smoked for 30 years and by taking chantix, i was able to quit in 3 months

and that was amazing. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it absolutely reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side-affect is nausea. i can't believe i did it. i quit smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

melissa: high-stakes ahead of jobs report. technology reducing demand for workers. peter morici said it is bad government policies making things even worse and americans deserve better jobs the economist and university of maryland business professor joins me now. peter, i got to imagine, when you hear wednesday as we heard yesterday out on the stump, barack obama and hillary clinton talking about we had 150 million consecutive months in office where we have seen jobs increase and how much better they have made the economy. people at home sit there and think, really? i don't think they're feeling it. what do you think of their bravado over the economy? >> well it is the big lie on the most grandest scale. you know barack obama has

created half as many jobs as ronald reagan over the same period of time. and ronald reagan was dealing with a much smaller labor force and economy. it is that simple. barack obama's economy grew at 2%. his grew at 4.5. the numbers are damning. this is a terrible recovery, but on top of the he slow growth rate, we are seeing more and more machines take the place of workers. melissa: right. >> we call uber, no dispatcher anymore. it is computer program. melissa: yeah. no, it is absolutely true. it is about technology and a shift in the workforce. and at the same time, hillary clinton giving the speech yesterday, she said we have to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and give middle-class families a raise. i listened, she was reading a prompter, you are wondering does she really mean that? does she think middle class is people working for minimum wage? it is almost that bad right now. jobs in the middle have disappeared and kind of moved down. how do we fix that?

>> we really can't fix the fact that the jobs in the middle have disappeared. what we need to do is equip people more to do difficult tasks. you know, systems analyst, engineers but also technical jobs like being a windmill engineer or fixing cars which is very sophisticated now. the trouble is most of the kids we graduate from school, whether high schools or college don't have the where with all to learn those kind of things because they're not particularly well-educated. our educators are very good at talking about social justice and feminism and all the rest of this stuff. they're not particularly good at teaching people something practical. when my university was founded, it was founded as an engineering school. now it's a place where you go and just complain about your parents. melissa: [laughter]. what do you expect from friday's report before you go. i want to get a preview? >> we expect 180,000 jobs. some say 200,000. we're coming off 38 last month. melissa: right. >> you have to look at several months at a time, over the

quarter we're 115,000 jobs april to june. that is half the pace of the prior three years. melissa: yeah. >> jobs growth has been slowing successivelily to 13, to 14, '15, '16. obamacare and higher minimum wages are accelerating shift to computerized checkouts and all the rest. melissa: it's a big problem. peter, thanks for coming on. always appreciate it. see you soon. >> take care. david: the commander-in-chief is slowing down plans to withdraw troops from afghanistan. president obama announcing that he will leave 8400 u.s. troops in the country by the end of the year. figure is thousands more than the initial target. cites the rise of taliban and counterterrorism against islamic state as change in exit strategy. >> donald trump hitting her right back over the fbi email investigation. this after --

>> she is "crooked hillary" and everybody knows it. >> and make sure he never has the chance to bankrupt america the way he bankrupted his businesses! [cheering] >> she is not a trustworthy person. and by the way, you speak about temperment. she has a horrendous temperment. she would be a terrible president. david: the candidates not letting up obviously as attacks continue. they're hitting each other on business and the economy. joining me are bush 43 senior staffer brad blakeman and busse-l politics editor emily shire. brad, is trump hitting her on public service saying she is "crooked hillary." and based on private work. worked for a lawyer and worked for a crooked s&l company. who wins in this debate? >> i think donald trump wins. david: why? >> because donald trump hasn't been feeding from the public trough over 30 years. donald trump risked his capital and he got rewarded. sometimes he lost. no successful businessman or

woman has ever been successful without failure. failure is component of success. david: that is certainly true. emily, there was a time when he was, kept talking on the campaign stuff about trump university and bringing up the -- that didn't go over well with public. i think the public just wants to keep his personal business away from everything, doesn't he? >> i don't think it helps him. i don't think this is clinton's strongest line of attack, actually on the economy, trump is beating her in terms of american's faith who will do a better job. may be one area where trump is winning against clinton. i'm surprised she wint after his failed businesses in the united states as opposed to fact that he is exporter in chief. that so many of his trump products are made in bangladesh, honduras that could have potentially helped her if she wanted to hit him hard. david: there is one fact, brad did i, hillary will have difficulty with. who creates jobs here. donald trump and, this is a very liberal, because i have seen figures up to 50,000.

but he has created 34,000 jobs. the public sector doesn't create jobs, the private sector does. i think we all agree on that. and donald trump has created 34,000. hillary clinton, while only thing she really created in terms of the business clinton foundation. that has 486. >> that's right. and by, by the way, just look at her record as secretary of state. talk about fiscal responsibility. look at ig's report where they're missing $6 billion. by the way, nobody ever died because of a business decision that trump made. but people have died because of the business decisions that hillary clinton made in not, stepping up and protecting her personnel. david: fair and balanced e i have to give emily the last word, how do you deal with the number, 36,000 jobs, versus 486. >> i don't think she does have deal with it. beating him close to five points after today. david: she is losing lead. emily, she is losing lead. it is coming down. >> i don't think trump will win on his business record.

it got him the nomination but i don't think it will swing independent voters he needs to actually win. i just don't think it will win them over. david: brad, emily, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: donald trump certainly not remaining quiet over clinton's email server investigation. >> and she was so much worse the abuser of the system and, you know the whole thing with the server. the system is totally rigged. she should have been treated very harshly. melissa: brad, what is your reaction to that one? what do you of the way he takes it on? >> he is absolutely right. donald trump will be prosecutor. hillary may never be tried in court of law but she will be tried in the court of public opinion. he will behe lead prosecutor and voters will be the jury. they will go in and weigh all of this negativity that hillary clinton has brought to the table. she is hurting with her base. donald trump is also hurting with his base but, the key to

this race is not only getting your base behind you but appealing to independents, women and minorities. i think donald trump is making that case. melissa: emily, seems like what he would have to do, rather than saying email over and over again, i think people are really tired of that, feel like maybe weech seen the case, they're not looking at details between us in the media are, but when you put statements side by side, what she said, comey said they proved, what is says she is a liar. that would be road for him to go down to be successful. what do you think? >> i think it is damning. the problem trump is the mouthpiece. if it was mitt romney it was coming from it could be very damaging. clinton and trump are seen as highly distrust worthy. "cbs poll" said 33% trust clinton. that is horrendous. 32% trust trump. they're both doing horribly. i don't think when coming from trump's mouth it will have same effect it would from another candidate. melissa: brad, what politicianion do you trust?

isn't that the hallmark of being a politician? you're a liar and not trustworthy? that is how you get the job. isn't that what most americans think? >> politicians have horrible public approval record. look at congest guess they're in the single digits. thing that catapulted trump. he is outsider. hillary is ultimate insider. been involved in politics by her own admission 40 years. this is the year of outsider, not insider. that is trump's greatest strength being under estimated. 16 other candidates underestimated him as nominee. i think hillary will do so as a head-to-head in the general election. melissa: we'll see. thanks to both of you, david. david: brad himself underestimated him. remember that? melissa: everyone. david: the race for the new prime minister, teresa may established as front-runner, receiving more votes than second and third place finishers

combined. we have steve hilton, former assistant to prime minister david cameron and crowd pac ceo. he is author of, more human. good to see you. theresa may, should tell american viewers was stay in the eu. after the vote she said the following. there was no attempts to remain inside eu. no attempts to rejoin it through the backdoor and no second referendum. so she is telling people that she respects their opinion, even though she disagreed with it, she will honor their vote. do the british people believe her? >> well, certainly right thing for they are to say if she wants to win but i think the idea the outcome of this extraordinary referendum with its momentous decision to leave the eu, someone who actually wanted to stay in the eu comes out on top. that will be a hard sell. david: do you believe her, by the way, that she is willing to switch gears now on the eu? the. >> oh, i certainly do.

i think she's a very serious and sincere politician. i worked with her myself when i was working in 10 downing street. i'm sure she means it but i think fundamentally when such a big decision has been taken for someone who is on the losing side of it, to end up winning a leadership election and not be leader of the british conservative party but to become prime minister, i think in the end people will feel there will be more confident negotiations to leave the eu will produce the outcome they voted for if those negotiations are led by someone who actually campaigned to leave. david: by the way, maybe it is just because i'm old enough to remember her and loved her, margaret thatcher, but you look at a conservative mp running for prime minimum, you can't help but think of margaret thatcher. are there similarities? >> i think so. she is certainly very tough negotiator. i certainly experienced that myself and she is very practical and hard-working so a lot of

similar qualities are there. that is in many ways the basis of her campaign. she is not saying so explicitly but she is making those kind of comparisons from those who support her are saying that kind of thing. david: margaret thatcher would fit well with this political environment. she was against the establishment, old arris toecratic politics in britain and broke through it. she he was of humble origin. is theresa may from similar background? >> it is similar and from humble origins. there is big difference. margaret thatcher was fired up by a radical desire to reform the economy, to curb the power of the unions, to change fundamentally the way britain worked and to put power in the hands of people. that had been her hallmark all through her career. i think theresa may, all very certainly competent administrator doesn't seem to me

to have the same radical reforming intent too bad. doesn't have fire in the bellly. good to see you, steve. melissa: our nation's heroes not receiving consistent health care. the new report exposing va shortfalls. plus a state of emergency in florida is gaining national attention. david: what is up with that? melissa: whoa. m henry winkler ad i'm here to tell homeowners that are sixty-two and older about a great way to live a better retirement... it's called a reverse mortgage. call right now to receive your free dvd and booklet with no obligation. it answers questions like... how a reverse mortgage works, how much you qualify for, the ways to receive your money... and more. plus, when you call now, you'll get this magnifier with led light absolutely free! when you call the experts at one reverse mortgage today, you'll learn the benefits of a government-insured reverse mortgage. it will eliminate your monthly mortgage payments and give you tax-free
