north carolina, pennsylvania. he's got a little bit of mojo in places like florida or major work to do in virginia wisconsin and colorado. sandra: thank you to all of you for doing the show this morning. good tuesday morning. that is for that is it for us. "varney & company" is up for us. stuart varney, it is all for you. stuart: what do you mean, is he there? >> sometimes you go like this when i talk to you and want to make sure i don't catch you off guard. train to catch me off guard? are we good, very good. you're using up all my time. let's go. donald trump had a very good day. that is an opinion that is not shared by the media. good morning, everyone. in mexico and cordele joint statement with henrique pena. the negotiations on trade and the border looks like they've begun. hours later in arizona, a tougher job standing firm on deporting criminal alien, ending

catch and release, building the wall and having mexico pay for it. the media hated the mexico trip in the arizona speech as well. a circus as the "washington post" xenophobic, same old tripe, the lining of a cow's stomach. the duplicity of donald trump just political gymnastics. and hillary stayed home and she treated diplomacy isn't as easy as it looks. now look at this. the new fox poll. more goodness for trump in a four-way split is now statistically tied head-to-head with just hillary. he's narrowed the gap by four points. thursday, september 1st, the new trump marches on. same old, same old hillary and we haven't even mentioned the latest e-mail revelation. "varney & company" is about to

begin. ♪ stuart: you are looking live at the podium were moments from now donald trump will address the american legion. really address that same audience yesterday and in its entirety, hearst beach was totally an attack on donald trump. that was yesterday. waiting for trump today. last night in arizona, donald trump laid out his plan for illegal immigration. we've got a long tape for you. roller. stuart: >> we will build a great ball along the southern border and mexico will pay for the wall. we are going to add tax and release. anyone who illegally crosses the border will be detained until they have removed out of our country and back to the country from which they came. zero tolerance for criminal

aliens. we are going to triple the number of ice deportation offices. cancel unconstitutional, executive orders and enforce all immigration laws. there is only one core issue. in the immigration debate that issue is the well-being of the american people. stuart: well you heard it. mercedes schlep is with us. i want to ask your opinion on how the speech was delivered last night. first of all, bear with me. the mainstream media this morning. >> this is the title of an opinion piece. the duplicity of donald trump. here are some of the words used in the "washington post." the xenophobic circus, tripe. i think we understand that the media thinks about it. what about you?

how did the speech come across to you? >> it was a bit of a mixed bag. trump was very effect giving talking about his policy on ending illegal immigration. i think he redefines the whole argument. the presidents have not been able to solve in racing and obama that's more complacent more following an open door amnesty, while trump is saying we need to stop that. you want to come into america you need to come through the legal process. you've got it fixed the immigration system. however, when it comes to reaching out to hispanic voters i think there was a missed opportunity. there is an opportunity to talk about the compassionate story of those legal immigrants who contributed greatly to her country, were part of the american family and if there would've been a softer more positive tone it wouldn't have turned out some of my evening gop hispanic friends. i like tina and i can tell you

that was not received well in that community a gop hispanics who are supporting donald trump. stuart: let's refer to the mexican part of the trip. i think he looks like a visiting president. >> it was a home run. it showed he was willing to show there is mutual respect. it was a presidential moment. for the media they were completely caught off guard. it was interesting to see donald trump in a presidential role that was incredibly affect it. they carried it on to arizona to a certain extent which i understand he wants to be tough and believe me i think it's important to be the enforcer and chief. but i do think there needed to be that positive message of what illegal grimmer prints have in the united states. stuart: you are looking at one right now.

a perfectly legal one. where are you from, may i ask? >> my father is from cuba. i grew up in miami, florida as a cuban-american. you ask my father and say he's 83 years old. he says are you cuban, american? poa says i'm american. i love this country and i value freedom and democracy. those are the immigrants who won in america and that is what donald trump said last night. stuart: mercedes are my cufflinks. you can't see them, but they are the american flag. i wore them since the day i became an american citizen and her proudly. i am here and fading. thanks very much indeed. look at that podium again. this is cincinnati. moments from now we are expecting donald trump to take the podium and speak to the american legion. hillary addressed that same

audience yesterday and here is what rnc chair said about hillary speech. this is what he said about the speech yesterday. whether it's a reckless mishandling of classified information are dismissing the scandals been overblown, hillary has proven she? the judgment to become commander-in-chief. karl hates me, better in a trump supporter. forget what hillary had to say. i want to know what you want donald trump to say before the audience of veterans. >> will start putting our troops health care before the legal immigrant. i went to see him stay -- i want him to address to be a problem. he's been very outspoken. i want to see a priority to say domesticate program, before legal immigrant program. people who put foot to rear end were injured get taken care of first. stuart: i don't know what is going to say. i would imagine that's exactly the message he would deliver.

foreign policy. many veterans have served overseas and suffered for it. i would love to see him say something to the effect if we get engaged in a war we fight it to the end on our terms. take the handcuffs off our troops. we want to be diplomatic, send the troops home and let you know how it works out. stuart: it is his naturally audience. i am not all that audience, but i would've thought it would've been in favor of donald trump. >> the single action donald trump did that make us a favor when he stood behind, he stood behind his guy against all the allegations but i'm not going to fire him, not going to hold him accountable for anything until it's proven guilty. the conviction he stood behind his guy, obama doesn't have her back workout. stuart: year-end special forces? >> seal. >> i'm allowed to ask that?

have you taken part in mission? >> sure. stuart: fire your gun in anger? >> not in anger, but a controlled manner to defend the united states of america. stuart: thank you for your service. i think we told you actually. you are all right. thank you area much. next case. stocks going to be ever so slightly higher for the market this morning. is it possible -- is it possible for investors buying stocks because they trim the trump when looks a little more likely. i know it's a longshot. i've got to ask the question anyway. ashley: absolute stretch. stuart: how about the price of oil. this is interesting the price of

oil is down even a 20% of oil production in the gulf of mexico has been shut down because of the storms. ashley: we still have so much here. liz: there will be a limit out of the opec meeting coming up. stuart: the glut likely continues. how about that. they look at apple's chief tim cook calls the e.u. tax bill, forgive the language. it is his language, not mine. he says island was being picked on. no change for apple stock likely. one of six this morning. tropical storm hermine expected to make landfall as a category one hurricane. part of north florida, southwest georgia could get five, 10 inches of rain total. some areas may be fit team to 20 inches of rain. can you say flooding? tropical storm out of line is moving away from hawaii.

news as it will not make landfall on any eyelids. a lot of rain and they were hit with winds of 60 miles an hour. the storms will actually go around the side. this is a map of all the states that took in 10,000 refugees across the country. one of the states that did not take any refugees is mississippi. hillebrand can explain how you get out of this. he did. he will explain how. trump talking to the american legion moments from now we will take you there. more "varney" after this. ♪

the market's been pretty volatile lately. there is a lot at stake here, you know? we've been planning for this for a long time. and we'll keep evolving things. knowing you is how edward jones makes sense of investing.

>> i am going to create a new special deportation path voice focused on identifying and quickly removing the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants in america who have evaded justice, just like hillary clinton has evaded justice. maybe they'll be able to deport her. stuart: that was a trump immigration speech in arizona. you are looking at the podium for a moment or not donald will address the american legion. embed this, that map again please. that is not a map. that is me. the states which i've taken in some of the 10,000 refugees from syria who provides this year. non-red states are those where none were placed.

mississippi as you can see is one of those states that took none of the syrian refugees. mississippi governor phil bryant is with us now. governor company said from the beginning he wouldn't take any serious refugees. how did she get out of it? >> well, the first thing you do is say no. he sent a letter as i did to the president, joined with other governors, most of the ones we join together the republicans but some democrats were as concerned as we were. go to your congressional delegation and have been influenced as much as you can. the decision to buy there we went syrian refugees to the state of mississippi that already has challenges now with our medicaid costs and other social program. 92% of the syrian refugees will receive some type of medicaid or social direct cash benefits. we simply said we will not allow this to happen. all you saw the executive authority are hard working with

homeland security and state police to stop these refugees. stuart: the 10,000 of coming this year, 9945 were muslim. 52 by our count were christians. we feel that as a trout vote, lopsided and balance because the people being persecuted or the christians. did not enter into your decision? >> is certainly did give the president that we want to have a religious test. when this began, when the discussion started it is about christians being persecuted door. as a judeo-christian nation, we said let us help where we can. less than one half of 1% of those coming into the united states as he said the 10,126 are christians. the rest are sunni muslims that will be coming into this country. i can only imagine what isis by state, how fortunate they are that we are opening the door

that this president is so dedicated and that hillary clinton has said she's going to increase that by 550%. some 620,000 or more syrian refugees coming to the united states. just absolutely unacceptable and governors are going to stand against it. stuart: one last one. the other side of the coin is these people are in genuine need. they are refugees. they have been persecuted. there are fleeting war and vs humanitarians have some responsibility to help. how do you feel about that? >> you take an area within syria for one of their neighboring states. you put a protected zone around it or b. is the united states military to put those citizens near their homes until the conflict is over. bring this to a resolution. in the meantime they are protected.

we provide food, water substance. we then provide education for them rather than bringing them to the united states disseminated and among the population that we have no idea where they are at, letting them take over detroit, rebuild detroit. it is much better to keep them in their own home country and protect them better. that is the humanitarian thing to do. stuart: governor bryant, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> thanks so much for having me. stuart: remember this is a financial program. we are bringing you this. the cow posted its first rising gambling revenue in more than two years. what is going on bear at the opening bell gaming stocks like stands will be up. salesforce gave a weak outlook. they work in the cloud right away. the pc server in the sky promising -- they are going to be down. liz: you are talking salesforce?

the stock market opens. you have donald trump addressing, and strong statements, he'll put america first, i'll never let you down. the audience liked it. here we go, five seconds to go. the stock market will be opening for trading in-- now. it's 9:30, it's thursday morning. where are we going today? pretty flat at the open, i'm guessing. left-hand side of your screen, all the lights will change color. if we go to green, the stock is going up. if we go to red they're going down. dark color is unchanged. we have a mixed market today. do we not? we are awe down one point, three points in the early going and the s&p 500 virtually totally unchanged. how about the nasdaq? this is the day before the jobs report. let's see what the nasdaq is doing, up .09% dare i say dead flat? ford motor company, i want to get to that.

the price of oil is down 77 cents. $44 per barrel, that's interesting. more on that in a second. check out the big check stocks as we do at the opening bell. first, ford motor company. this i do not understand. $12 a share, up 6 cents and their sales were down 8%. charles: the f-series which has been a signature vehicle so long down. stuart: on very low volume. i don't get this, why if you've got an 8% drop and trouble with that line of trucks, why would the stock go up? that, i don't understand liz: maybe it's priced to perfection. stuart: move on to the big name stocks that we quote every day at this time, this is where the money goes and that's what we follow. netflix, alphabet, amazon, facebook, apple, all of them are up a little bit. and as i understand this cloud computing company, the server

in the sky, i think i've got that right. bad outlook, down 5%. tesla is running out of cash and that stock opened down, not much, more in a moment. smith & wesson, gun company, after the bell closes trading, we'll see how much they did or didn't make. lower profit at the retailer, shoe carnival, i've not heard of it, but i'm told it's a big deal. charles: they sell shoes. stuart: ashley webster is here liz macdonald, larry levin, dr barton and brian is making a comeback. and now i'm going to be in hot water here. i have a suspicion that the stock market is staying above 18,000, well above 18,000 because some investors think that donald trump is going to win the election and that would be good for the election. am i totally out on a limb larry levin? >> yeah, i think you are out on a limb.

you know, donald trump winning the election would be good for the stock market, but with that being said it's fed-driven, stuart. i don't think that the fed is going to do anything for the rest of the year and that's going to keep the market going higher. stuart: okay, didn't quite know what to say there. [laughter] he wanted to shoot me down and he did. what do you say? >> i think he's right. the big news is come and we want to know what the fed is going to do and i think we're going to find that out with details some. i think you're wrong, stuart, i'm sorry, but i think you're wrong. stuart: that's all right. you can come back anytime you like. [laughter] >> the employment number is going to be watched almost like our fed navel gazing tomorrow. i don't think the trump overnight effect is as big as you'd like it to be, stuart, i think your long-term thesis is correct. charles: out of a limb. stuart: you've run out of limb. >> that's all i'm going to say. stuart: anybody on my side?

liz? no? liz: well. stuart: i find this interesting, we've got the car companies coming out with sales figures today. we've already told you that ford was down 8%, general motors down 5%. this is year over year for the month of august and gm is down 5% and the stock is up. can anybody explain to me? >> doing finally better than expected even though down year over year. >> that game. stuart: play that game. >> the expectations game. stuart: these car companies reporting lower sales, is that an overall economic indicator, the economy slowing like this? >> yeah, i think, it could be. i think consumers, we've talked about the stronger consumer lately. i don't think that-- i think we've overstated that case a little bit. when you see car sales dropping you've got to get a little worried here, again, it's an expectations game liz: when are we going to buzzer? kidding, just kidding. >> i always keep it short. [laughter]

>> now this, storms in the gulf 0 shutting down 22% of oil production in the gulf of mexico, 22%. that's 350,000 barrels per day lost production and yet, the price of crude oil is down right there at $44 a barrel. can you explain this, larry levin? >> sure, i mean, it's really a technical trade. you know, we really couldn't find any buyers at the $50 level. you stuck a lot of people long up there and the markets came down, 47, $46 and the gulf of mexico doesn't seem to be affecting anything at all. stuart: all right. >> short-term shutdowns like this where there's no damage and long-term effect are priced into oil already. the big deal is that opec is not going to be doing anything soon and yesterday's numbers showed that we're building stocks so fast. stuart: so, do you think it's going to drop below $40 a barrel? >> i know you shorted it, you expect it to go down and you're

betting on it going down, below 40? >> i think we're going to see below 40 again. stuart: what did you tell us earlier, liz, about opec? >> talking about production freezes and oil started moving up in price. i think that dr is right, wall street analysts think it's going to be bearish, the rest of the year. stuart: where is apple this morning? it was pretty much dead steady when we got news that the europeans wanted to finance 14 1/2 billion dollars. this morning we heard that apple's chief tim cook. he says the eu tax bill is political crap, excuse my expression, but that's what he said. he said that ireland was being pissed on. >> he's absolutely right. this is a total farce liz: able paying a global tax rate of 26%. ireland has given about $350 million net revenues into the eu. it was a drain on the eu and

now it's floating the eu. stuart: the european union doesn't like a member state having a very, very low tax rate which is business-- >> the eu has done nothing to encourage innovation. big tech companies are all in the u.s. and trying to get the hands into those pockets and the stock price hasn't even gone down, stuart, it dropped a little bit. gained it back for a simple reason, that the eu has no taxation power. all they can do is tell ireland to do the taxes and ireland might appeal. stuart: you'd buy apple at 106. >> i think everybody could buy it on dips, and my company-- >> 106 is okay to buy. >> it's a little high here, but a long-term buy, stuart. stuart: a diplomate. round and round. sales force, let me get this straight. they work in the cloud, okay? and the big server in the sky. what's going on, lori? >> well, the second quarter earnings were a huge disappointment, stuart, and

boy, it's a tough crowd. it was a beat in terms of what wall street analysts were looking for on the top ap bottom line. what are you going to do in the future when $2 billion in quarterly revenue isn't enough and this time last year, well, the problem, they call it deferred revenue and that's a key metric for cloud computing companies as to how future business will perform and that was a huge disappointment for this company. back to you. >> lori rothman right there. the new york exchange. how about this? biogens alzheimer's drug shows promise. up it goes, $3. that's just 1%. i like the sound of that, dr. got to say it. mylan, people are crossing the border, going to canada to get the epi pen cheaper, but low 40's, come down because of the epi pen problem. facebook, i'm fascinated by the company.

its instagram lets you pinch to zoom on photos and videos, this is a big deal. who doesn't like facebook? dr? >> no, i own it personally and we own in the company. stuart: brian? >> i don't like it use it myself, but-- >> facebook is up and coming in the future? >> absolutely. instagram is huge here. stuart: is this an economic indicator? campbell's soup, lower profits down 5%. economic? >> not the biggest economic indicator in the world, no. >> look at lands' end. lower profit, lower sales, now that's taken a hit liz: another retailer. stuart: they're a catalog company, aren't they? as opposed to on-line seller liz: no, they sell brick and mortar. stuart: they're down. mcdonald's, their president just retired and i don't think that's affecting the stock. it's at 115. mattel's american girl dolls, i think you can buy them in toys

"r" us, that's the story, isn't it? american girl now available in toys "r" us. i think that's the story. and that's at 33. the health insurers, look at them go up. another obamacare headline for you, fewer doctors, fewer hospitals to choose from liz: this comes from nonpartisan found that three quarters of the offerings are going to possibly be restricted plans like hmo's, restricted networks of doctors and watch this, in 2010, you have president obama saying we're guaranteeing to keep your doctor, nancy pelosi said it. the website said, 2013, you may be able to keep your doctor, and then that disappeared off the website, no guarantees. stuart: as insurers retreat from obamacare-- >> can a broken promise get more broken?

this is the death spiral. stuart: look at tesla, running short of cash, elon musk companies liz: 422 million dollars to bondholders by the the end of the month and they have to go back to the market for an offering or raise and burned $3 billion in cash in 2014. by the way, about 15 big institutional investors passed on investing in solar city. elon musk stepped in. >> i believe that donald trump has finished his speech to the american legion. he's left the podium and meeting some people now afterwards. it was a relatively short speech. i don't think he enhanced any policy statement. i don't think he made any news headlines. and it was a very short speech. i think about 20 minutes and that's it now he's left the podium. i want to thank everybody who appeared on the program. larry, dr, thank you one and all, very much indeed. where are we after 11 minutes of business. 18,417.

now this, a picture that a lot of people are sharing on-line. a university of florida player spots a boy eating lunch by himself. the lad is autistic. the football player asked can i sit down and eat with you, they share lunch. the little boy is now one of the most popular kids. i like that story. >> great story. stuart: i love that story. donald trump as we said wrapped up his speech to veterans. we'll bring you any headlines that he made. more varney after this. ♪

i want you join the debate. say that donald trump yesterday in mexico and arizona had within of his best days in a long time. do you agree with me? >> i at least half agree with you. i think he had a huge success in mexico. you know, go back just 24 hours, we were talking about how risky that trip to mexico was and it was in fact risky, who knew exactly how he would be-- trump would be received by president pena nieto, who knew what embarrassments would happen. he had the meeting with the president of mexico and they come out, a press conference standing in front of a marble wall that kind of looks like the united nations and you've got two world leaders standing there. it made trump look very, very pel. one more thing, hillary clinton has all sorts of video, photo ops of her being a major player on the world stage as secretary of state with the president of this and the foreign minister of that. trump didn't have any of those

pictures until yesterday. now he does. stuart: now i take it that you take issue with the speech last night in arizona before a very american audience. are you saying something was wrong with that or he missed an opportunity? >> i think that the mexico trip was a bigger plus. i don't think the speech actually last night hurt him because trump has actually not been hurt when he does policy things. he's been hurt when he attacks khan, or when he attacks a judge in the trump university lawsuit case and those things have hurt him. when he comes out and gives a policy speech, even if it's a policy people don't agree with doesn't hurt him much. as usual i thought the speech was a little long, but my feeling is it won't hurt him at all with his supporters. stuart: now, what we're saying the last couple of weeks, this is a new trump. it's more measured, it's on camera, it's scripted on

teleprompter and that contrasts, with hillary clinton who seems to be retreating into a self-imposed scandal corner, won't answer questions, doesn't do that much on the campaign trail. do you see it that way? >> well, the big difference, i think, you hit it at the end. the big difference is, trump is out there campaigning and hillary clinton isn't really campaigning very much. so i know it's august and maybe you're supposed to just be at the hamptons or martha's vineyard or something, but trump has been out there campaigning and you're right, has been refining his style and given a whole bunch of stump speeches now that really didn't make a lot of unplanned news, the way they sometimes would in the past when he went off script. he's been much more disciplined about that and hillary clinton she did give the speech to the american legion yesterday, but has been doing a lot of fund raising-- the big news she danced with paul mccartney at a fundraiser in the hamptons, she's not been out there campaigning?

>> can you explain it? >> one way to explain it, they think they've got this in the bag. the democrats say no, we expect the race to tighten and a tight race, blah, blah, blah, i think, one, they think they have a solid lead, that the equilibrium of the race is hillary clinton ahead by 5 or 6 points and also, they still fundamentally believe that that democratic electoral college advantage where a democrat basically starts out with 242 electoral votes and needs only 28 more to win the presidency. stuart: complacency can be a really big negative. >> that's it. stuart: i would suggest. we'll see. byron, thank you very much indeed for your comments. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: we appreciate it. i've got breaking news for you i think we've got the video of it, a spacex rocket exploded on the launch platform, this is cape canaveral during the test firing of an unmanned rocket, obviously. and buildings shook from the

blast and i don't think we've got the actual blast on camera. charles: charles:. >> it was for a routine test, it was supposed to be a routine test of the firing mechanism and something went terribly wrong. stuart: i see a lot of smoke, but it was a failed test, spacex. and the colors and lights and all of that, split market. half the dow stocks are up and a little over half of down and the dow jones industrial average is up 10 points. now, if you don't like crocodiles look away now liz: oh, no. stuart: yeah, look at this liz: wow. stuart: this is a 14-foot long crock in australia, by the way. this thing has been eating cattle. >> yeah. stuart: it took seven officers with a rope to secure this thing and duct tape to boot. they say the crocodile is a

danger to the community. i think that's an understatement. >> to the cattle. stuart: reminds you of "crocodile dundee." more varney in a moment. l of engineering... it's a performance machine. with this degree of intelligence... it's a supercomputer. with this grade of protection... it's a fortress. and with this standard of luxury... it's an oasis. introducing the completely redesigned e-class. it's everything you need it to be...and more. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> now, as you can see from this, you're about to see the

stock price of tesla. that is a spacex rocket. tesla is the owning company. the rocket exploded, not-- that's the wrong word to use, big fire in a test firing. you can see the smoke, it's a failed test firing and tesla stock immediately dropped. now we're down $3 at 208. that's tesla. donald trump has now completed his presentation to the american legion. he's left the podium. short speech. last night, during his speech on immigration, trump had the families of victims who had lost their lives to illegal immigrants. that was a powerful moment, liz liz: it was, the parents began filing onto the stage as mr. trump moved to greet them and hug them and they're essentially saying, you know, the lack of media curiosity about this. that's donald trump is saying, you focus on the illegal immigrant story, but you've got to focus on our story as well. what donald trump is talking about, too, 23 countries still refuse to take back their

nationals after they've been convicted of crimes here and there's a move afoot in the senate to stop allowing visas given to those countries to basically stop that problem. stuart: that was a powerful moment right there with the victims' families. >> it was. stuart: the united states and other world powers reportedly agreed to allow iran to evade restrictions on the nuke deal. this is all in secret. what's this about. ashley: i think it shows how much the obama administration wanted to get a deal done with iran on the nuclear program to kind of hang their hat on it. as part of that they kind of waived restrictions imposed initially so iran could get erelief from sanctions on deadlines. we're going to give your money back by this date, but you have to do these things. they didn't do all of those things, they said, oh, okay, don't worry about it. we'll deal with that later. you'll get your money when we said you'd get it. this report is put together by david albright a former u.n.

weapons inspector. this isn't just idle chatter and it was all done in secret. no one knew that iran wasn't actually being held accountable. stuart: you shake your head about that on every front. >> the more you learn about it the more, you noknow-- it all becomes, it's a mess. stuart: donald trump made that visit to mexico. you know that, met with mexico's president. the mainstream media blasts him. and hillary clinton playing defense. she's got more trouble over those e-mail scandals. we'll be back.

>> it's almost funny, the media's reaction to donald trump. since june of last year, when he first announced for the presidency, the over the top attacks have come thick and fast. it's been a daily dose of hatred and contempt. now, as a new scripted and controlled trump emerged, the

media has been challenged. horror of horrors, he's been gaining in the polls and hillary, the media's candidate has been pushed into a corner of scandal. what are the trump haters to do now? well, they've been reduced to nitpick-picking nit-picking. they're all over dispute about who pays for the wall as if that's the big deal in immigration policy. there was a difference in tone between the speech and mexico and the speech in arizona. that's called political gymnastics, according to the new york times, he swerved and says "the washington post," trump's visit angers americans. gee, you would have thought they would have caught on criminal deportations or the end of catch and release, or the 300,000 criminals not deported or the american victims of illegal criminality.dia not see and hear their horror stories at trump's speech last night? this isn't going to change the

media elite detest the brash trump and will never end their campaign against him. be careful where you get your news and conference. the second hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ >> heavy on politics and we'll give you more on donald trump in a moment. first, the market, check that big board. virtually unchanged ahead of the jobs report. we're down 18 on the dow. look at oil, storms shutting down production of the gulf of mexico, but oil is a huge supply. there's a glut of the stuff, so the price is still going down. $44 a barrel right now. the latest on mortgage rates, what's the 30-year fixed rate number. ashley: i tell you, stu, 3.46%, just up a tick from last week. but, still remarkably low. stuart: we say is every week. ashley: we do.

stuart: 3.4, whatever it is. ashley: 3.46%. stuart: and every week i say when i got my first mortgage it was 12 1/2%. ashley: i remember it was 18%. stuart: green fields when i-- >> walked uphill without any shoes. stuart: let's get serious. tim cook, he calls the european union's tax bill, political crap. forgive the language, that's what he said liz: he said it's matening, no basis in law and the european commission says remember the story was that apple only paid 0.0005%? wow, they made a mistake. they're now saying that only applied to one of apple's units, the sales international. and apple's tim cook is saying that was total rubbish, it was wrong from the get go. we paid 4 1/2 million at the irish rate. the eu story is wrong and this is breaking out of european commission. stuart: they should have a good appeal

liz: he wants to appeal and and is confident. stuart: the stock stabilized. and it dropped to 105 yesterday. the spacex rocket did indeed blow up on the launch platform. you don't see a blast, you see smoke. it did hurt the stock, tesla is down 4%. down to 207. that was a test firing that went wrong. >> an an israeli satellite went wrong in a test firing. a huge explosion rocking buildings and shaking windows two miles away. stuart: and down it goes, 4 bucks lower now on intraday, 207. politics and the media reaction to donald trump. here are words in "the washington post." how about xenophobic hatred or fear against foreigners. circus like, the trip to

mexico. tripe, and that's the lining of a cow's stomach. ashley: disgusting food. stuart: tripe and onions. >> good morning to you all. stuart: second only to kippers liz: good morning, again. stuart: we're joined by the advisor of vincente fox and now currently advising gary johnson. sir, the meeting between mr. trump and president pena nieto has not gone over well in mexico? >> that's correct, everyone is doing hash tag, you are not welcome here and you probably heard my former boss vincente fox giving his opinion, too? >> is everybody saying that? nobody wants a stable relationship with maybe the future president? >> and it'ssaying a lot in common

and they don't like either one pena pena nieto and trump. stuart: they don't like what he talked about what so what? >> so what? for latinos, it's important. on one hand we have in the united states, trump the master of reality shows. i do campaigns often times and it's incredible how he was able to go down to mexico the same day and come back and for ten days has been promoting this immigration reform that will be more humane. but to be honest as latinos, we're so tired of insults on one hand from the right. i'm a republicans, but from this guy, trump, but also the promises of the left and by the way, that's why i'm supporting gary johnson today. stuart: aren't you a supporter of vincenti fox, belongs to a

different party from pena nieto and why you're encourageing anger. >> no, vincenti fox supported the president. today i'm in the united states and supporting gary johnson because once again on the left it's these unkempt promises and especially regarding immigration reform and especially about these wonderful 11 million people in this nation that are my friends, that are my family members, a blessing for the united states. stuart: you understand that some of us who came in the united states legally stood in line, paid the money and took the time to become legitimate american citizens, some of us might be a little uncomfortable with 11 million people who jumped the line, crossed the border, and now take jobs away from americans? you can understand that, can't you? >> yes, of course, i

understand, but we've been speaking through both sides of our mouth. we keep saying, immigrants, from mexico, latin america, don't come-- if you can make it there is a great reward and by the way, there will be later on, a way for you to legalize and become a u.s. citizen. we've done it, the republicans have done it, the democrats have done it. obama, he told us that he would give us latinos a space at the table. i was with cain against obama i thought maybe he's going to give the space and promote immigration and he did not, eight years of telling us he would. stuart: do you think that the victims of illegal immigrants and their families who were with mr. trump last night in arizona, have they got a point? their relatives were killed by illegals who were not deported. and if they were deported they came back. have those poor people got a point, do you think? >> it's so unfair what trump is doing that he is trying to give the image of the undocumented as being people that are criminals, that are rapists.

i'm sorry, but according to immigration reform and many other studies, the group that least commits crime in this nation are undocumented. there are reasons they're going to work early morning they do not have driver's licenses and they stay home on the weekends and want to stay out of trouble. they're a blessing to the nation. they help create jobs. why is trump now, backing away from his statements against immigrants. yes, they're a blessing, sir. stuart: juan hernandez, thank you for joining us, we hear you. thank you. >> thank you. stuart: a blessing. hillary clinton is playing defense and it's not helping her poll numbers. clinton antrumd trump nearly tied, 41-39 in a four-way split. eboni kay williams is here, i think that hillary is missing

on the campaign trail. i don't see her out there making speeches and punching it up. >> she's not making speeches, not taking press conferences, not engaging with the press for a while. i said this two months ago, she's going to do a run the clock out strategy. she has no plans to address the concerns. she has no plans to address the e-mail concerns or clinton foundation concerns or concerns about her candidacy. what she's banking on, i think it's dangerous strategically, is that donald trump will be the undoing of himself and then she will benefit from that. the problem with that, stuart, what if he doesn't? what if he continues to, you know, as many have predicted, do this presidential on script type of delivery, then he think she puts herself in a vulnerable position because, really, the success of her candidacy depends on the unsuccess of his. stuart: she cannot hold-- well, look, she can of course do it. >> sure. stuart: there's grave risk in doing that because every

question will be about the e-mail scandal, the foundation scandal, one thing after another. big risk. >> and there are some that would recommend that risk, that's the best way it get in front of the skepticism and unfavorability. why he had the polls showed her at 56% unfavorable. stuart: highest ever. >> highest ever for her, worst ever, only to be by donald trump-- >> a huge risk to do that. >> she's not good off the cuff. stuart: can she answer the questions? what does it say about her judgment? she bent the truth, shall we put it like that? how dos she answer questions from an informed press? >> let's look at her husband. bill clinton had lot of scandal going on in his white house, certainly. there were times when bill clinton would get in front of the press and do this kind of folksy apology and people sometimes received that better. hillary just hasn't been able to do that and it really seems like that's something that's missing in her political arsenal. stuart: do you think she can win if she never answers

questions, never holds a press conference and just stays quiet in that corner? >> certainly she can, but again, it's risky because that strategy depends on donald trump getting off his game. if he gets off his game, he can essentially let her win by default which is what she's banking on. if he's consistent and does well she's giving him way how much power. >> i'd like to hear her give a policy speech specially on the economy because this economy is not doing well. i'd like to hear her say how she's going to improve it. stuart: do you think that would help her? >> that gets the conversation off e-mails, off the clinton foundation and back on things she says she's substantively capable off, yet, she's not doing it. stuart: i haven't heard her come out with a vision. this is what i want to make america into. >> this is how my vision differs from our current president. many people are looking for something different for the next four to eight years and

she's not doing it. >> okay. eboni, i think you're staying with us, aren't you for a couple more minutes? >> not today. stuart: oh. >> don't look so sad. oh, no. stuart: thank you, eboni. stuart: hillary speaking to veterans yesterday, what was the theme? attack donald trump. we'll show you voter's reaction to that, too. and how about this. leonardo dicaprio caught up in an international money scandal. we'll tell you details after this.

there's something out there. that can be serious, even fatal to infants. it's whooping cough, and people can spread it without knowing it. understand the danger your new grandchild faces. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about a whooping cough vaccination today.

>> thursday morning, dead flat. we're down 6, 18,394. however, look at wynn, the best performer and macaoo had the best in years. and they opened the wynn casino resort and wynn goes up 5%. back to that spacex rocket,

blew up on the launch pad. this is down in florida, the share price of tesla coming way down because of this. it's down now $6. this is a serious interruption in spacex's satellite launching program. there's a test firing that went badly wrong and an explosion of some sort. all you can see there is the smoke. buildings rattle for miles around and this upsets their satellite launching program. ashley: i would imagine so. they're supposed to send a satellite this weekend from israel up in the sky. stuart: six bucks down now, 205 on tesla. we like to show you videosment we call them dials. the voter reaction to candidates. redline republican reaction, yellow independents and blue line democrats. here is hillary's speech from yesterday. with the dials, roll that tape. >> you don't build a coalition

by insulting our friends or acting like a loose cannon. you do it by putting in the slow, hard work of building relationships, getting countries working together was my job every day as your secretary of state. more than a photo-op. it takes consistency and reliability. and it certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations, by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. that's not how it works. stuart: okay. the grays that we're giving out. she got an a from democrats. got that. independents a c-minus and republicans an f. that's the result of the dials attached to people who are watching. ashley: the independents, i think is fascinating. those are the ones in the middle and as you saw there, the internet were starting to

dislike. stuart: came down with the independents at the very end there liz: and trump is leading big with independents in ohio. they're tied next and neck in ohio, an important swing state. stuart: former marine bomb technician, retired staff sergeant, johnnie, joey jones is with us this morning. you've lost both your legs, i believe, in combat situation, is that accurate, sir? >> absolutely, both of my legs above the knee. like i tell everyone, i was given a second chance at life. stuart: yes, sir, you were. tell us your reaction. we know what the republicans think, the democrats think. the independents think, the grades there. this wasn't addressed -- this was an addressed to the veterans. >> hillary clinton, she was all over the place. she talks about billed ago slow and consistent relationship. maybe with iran, but not with people like the leaders of the iraq where we pulled out and left those guys stranded with no support. what we're doing the same thing in afghanistan.

you know, if building a slow relationship means nuclear weapons in iran, then, sure, a-plus. the rhetoric doesn't speak to her record of secretary of state where ours as a country the last ten years and that's concerning. stuart: how do you think most-- i know it's a very difficult question to answer, but most veterans. most people who have served in america's armed forces and there are millions of people. millions and millions of people. how do you think most of them feel about a commander-in-chief named hillary clinton? >> sure, i think that benghazi is a big topic. no matter where your politics are, the uncertainty and the knowledge that isn't there from benghazi, the questions that aren't answered, that's a big topic. if you get past that and look at the body of work, you've got rib yeah rib-- libya, you've got the secretary in regime change with hillary clinton and for those of us that fought in the war, we want to know what the end goal is before we flip another regime

before we go into another country. we want to know what is our desired end result? by the way, are we going to clean up where we've already been before we continue to work in that way. so that's our biggest concern. she doesn't get a good grade in those areas. stuart: forgive me for asking a question, but how were you injured, where were you injured? you're a bomb technician, were you trying to take a bomb apart? >> yeah, i'm a bomb tech because i don't have legs, maybe i'm not that good at it. that's a joke, by the way. i was injured in afghanistan in 2010 my second combat deployment and i was there to remove the ied from infrastructure. the enemy is smart. they place ied's around the local people. we were liberating them bringing markets and schools back. i stepped on an ied. it was about the 80's full up ied of that deployment. i like to say i still have a good record because i did disarm that ie did, i just did it with my feet. stuart: oh.

are you trying to-- i admire that. johnnie joey jones, a man with a sense of humor is a good man. thank you for being here. we honor your service. >> thank you. stuart: controversy over actor leonardo dicaprio involved in an international money laundering scheme. we'll explain it in full. nancy pelosi hacked, e-mails which show her connection in spinning the benghazi terror attack. more varney in a moment.

>> i have good news. biogens alzheimer's drug shows promise. the stock barely moving, but i like that and an alzheimer's drug that shows promise. now this. reuters analysis of a report

citing several government officials, the united states allegedly agreed in secret to give iran a pass on some restrictions in the nuke deal so they could begin the deadline to begin lift sanctions. ashley: this is a report headed up by david albright, a former u.n. inspector. and u.n. and other negotiating partners said to iran, they laid out the game plan, if you like, to allow them to resume the nuclear program. and the deadline approached, the west to left the sanctions . and they didn't do everything. and we'll waive them and you continue to work on them and we'll take off the sanctions as agreed on the deadline. so, it's-- is it any wonder that iran is so emboldened with the u.s. right now. it's gotten its way every step. stuart: you do what you like,

here is the deal. you get the deal, doesn't matter what you do. ashley: we bend liz: it was plutonium and lifted the restrictions how much low grade uranium it could receive and this is by the commission. ashley: all because the u.s. is so desperate to get a nuke deal done with iran. >> and iran was on the commission that lifted the restrictions. stuart: i'm faber -- flabbergasted on this. stuart: the hacker or hackers known as goosefuhr 2.1, nancy pelosi's showing democrats to urge dismiss the theories, and attorney katie, you're with us.

you've done your homework. does this drag nancy pelosi into the benghazi scandal? >> what a tangled web we weave. when you're going to say something, you better make sure there isn't smoking gun documentary evidence that a cyber hacker can come and find that will link more democrats to what's going on here. apparently there's memorandum that let's dismiss it, that this was premeditated, planned attack in benghazi and that it was released in the high level authority in the months leading to the attack. it's outrageous, and pelosi, clinton, shouldn't be allowed access to computers because they don't know how, unless they sit on them. stuart: seriously, the administration led by hillary clinton put out the word that it wasn't a terror attack, it was all a street demonstration

that got out of hand because of a rogue video produced in the united states. the video was to blame, not terrorists. and that, i think, draws democrats into this-- into a falsehood, essentially. that's what it does. >> it does, it brings in your pelosi involvement. it implicates then ambassador to the united nations rice about what she said and how she said it. was it really a spontaneous protest that came because of the pro video that was aired in the united states? what's the legal angle to all of this, which is important for people to know, goosefer 2.0 from the original goosefer after he was extradited from romanian. if we find out who it is and they get busted for what they've been doing, julian assange and others are saying thisser' doing us a favor

behind benghazi and everything that's happening, the reality is they're going to be prosecuted. goosefer is looking for four years. are we punishing people for telling us what's true? we are. stuart: katie, you always do your homework. thanks. >> check the big board. we are down 83 points. now, what happened in the last few minutes that put us down 80 odd points. ashley: oil is down 2%. stuart: down 2%. is it 44 or 43? >> 4388 we dropped below 44 and the ashley webster ratio kicks in. ashley: there you go. stuart:

stuart:. stuart: take the credit, lad. back to the compli. i do want to know what is the state of the economy right now? we're going to get a read on it tomorrow with the jobs report, but i want to bring in trump senior economic advisor steve cork, who is with us now. tell me, i know you're a trump guy, i've got that. what's the true state of the economy right now? how bad is it? go. >> stuart, as you know, i'm a main street guy not the wall street guy. i'm there in the street helping people understand what their business needs are and home lending needs are and dealing with the real people of america. if you think this anemic 1% or less potentially gdp growth is a representation of a recovering economy i've got another story for you. stuart: you're saying it's a weak economy? >> very weak indeed and fragile, very fragile. we need to ensure that we're a safe country to operate in. that we've got great national

security and restore the confidence of american business owners and workers and we need to rebuild our middle class by implementing many of the tax policies that mr. trump put forward, a 15% corporate tax and an opportunity to repatriate from our foreign companies. and institute the child care allowance to help middle america and also, to get jobs going again. it's that simple. we have to have our entrepreneur spirit. stuart: another steve on the trump team, steve moore on this program said you'll get 4%, 4% growth in each of the next five years with the trump tax cuts. are you on board with that? because that's a boom and a half. >> look. it's very, very exciting and i think that american leaders, especially business leaders and small business people are literally waiting. they're sitting on the edge of their seats for the right opportunity.

not just to buy stock back and create better dividends, but to invest in the growth of their businesses. they want real business in the white house and-- >> those are political talking points. you tell me, are we going to get -- i'll do it again -- 4% growth in each of the next five years that's the storiment is it 4% for five years? is it? >> i think that's a very, very real, very real possibility. it has to happen through the right leadership and policy. stuart: what happens to the debt if we do that? >> if gdp increases. stuart: 4%, what happens to the deficit. >> we want 40% of nontax paying americans back to work and increase that tax base and increase business so that taxes are into the pot and pay the bills and reduce the deficit and get our country back on track again. the recipe, stuart, is not that hard. it's taking action, the

decisive action that a real leader will take. stuart: you say you're not a wall street guy, you're a main street guy. what do you do on main street? >> well, as you know, i'm a big community banker. we're one of the largest federally chartered bank home lenders in america. we spend a vast majority of our time, educating first time home buyers on the opportunities of home ownership and then show them how to responsibly acquire and then borrow the money and pay that money back for home loans across america. of course, we also do all types of other lending safe and sound lending as a federally chartered bank, commercial loans and construction loans, things like that. stuart: i want to see you do it. are we going to get 4% growth in each of the next five years if we put the trump plan into action? >> in full effect, i believe we will. i think we can do it as americans. >> i'm trying to chalk up the number of receives on board for the next years.

>> you've got four to go with economic advisors. good luck with that. it's up to the american people. great leadership, we can make it happen. stuart: steve, thank you for joining you gos us. >> thank you. stuart: these are track for manufacturers. no, tractor supply is not a tractor manufacturing. they're not. caterpillar, deere, yes. i want to go to jeff flock, the annual super bowl, the annual farm progress. what are you going to tell me about the tractor market, jeff? >> i'm going to show you the new john deere 608-fc folding corn head. take a look at this. you're not going to have to pick your own cord. that is an eight head deal. this is the super bowl of manufacturers and of course, it's a tough agricultural market right now. walk over this way, if you would, give stuart the whole

picture here. everybody's displaying here, but i tell you, farm income is down. it's going to be a problem. all the way the product is out here, this is the latest corn baler and you won't have to use your pitchfork on the farm. i saw the pictures, maybe that was green acres, but it was you. everywhere here though. next hour i will show you the first autonomous-- this is the big combine here, that's the f-670 from deere. i'll show you one that eliminates the farmer. that's to say a driverless combine. it's the future, apparently. stuart: okay. i'm going to remember that. all right. jeff flock, right there. i've been to the iowa state fair which is a little different from the place where you are now. >> this is like the auto show in detroit. this is for the farm. this is all the the latest products and cool stuff. stuart: that's where i believe. i should really be there. all right, jeff flock. i'm sure we'll be back to you throughout the day.

>> next hour. stuart: dow 30 stocks, let's look at that pretty picture. ooh, a lot of red. 27 in red. three in green and the market is down 76 points. up next, we'll continue with the tale of two campaigns. hillary goes defense. trump stays on message, appears more presidential. we'll have the tale of two campaigns next. . the usaa car buying service is helpful because it gives you that automatic savings and i think it helps service members feel like their families are really cared for. and that's a really good feeling. (announcer) usaa car buying service, powered by truecar.

>> remember, "varney & company" starts at 9:00 a.m. every day eastern and here is what you missed in the last hour. >> big difference is trump is out there campaigning and hillary clinton isn't really campaigning very much so i know it's august and maybe you're supposed to us be in the hamptons or martha's vineyard or something. but trump has been out there campaigning and you're right, has been refining his style and giving a whole bunch of stump speeches now that really didn't make a lot of unplanned news the way they sometimes would in the past when he went off script. he's been much more disciplined about that and hillary clinton she did give the speech to the american legion yesterday, but has really been doing a lot of fundraisers. the big news, she danced with paul mccartney at a fundraiser in the hamptons. she's not really been out there campaigning that much.

>> regular viewers of this program know that i am absolutely incensed about the numbers on the left-hand side of your screen. 10,000 of the syrian migrants have come to america this calendar year. 9,945 muslims. 52 christians. what's with that imbalance?

tucker carlson is with us, foxx and friends weekend. welcome to the program. >> great to see you. stuart: you want to explain this? i'm not sure i can. >> the context is that syria is at least 10% christian as a historic christian minority who have been doing pretty well under assad, who is not a great guy, but protected them. two reasons for this, one, the institutional left christianity, there's a sense that muslims are persecuted and christians are not. and the opposite is the true. a political component. christian arab christians in the united states, pittsburgh, outside detroit, and voting just like the cubans, hispanic, but republicans. and muslims overwhelmingly democratic voting. as with our immigration policy on a broader scale, we've favored under the obama administration those that would

be democrat. stuart: if they were republicans we wouldn't welcome them in. if they're democrats we would? >> we won't bring in poles or latvian who are-- >> this is election packing, and the country changed dramatically in the last 30 years. stuart: one thing that gets to me. i don't want a religious test, i want a test of being a genuine persecuted refugee and it's the christians who fit that bill and christians who have been christians, murdered slaughtered, burned out. why aren't they given the priority? if they're refugees, they're clearly refugees. >> theres' a reflective anti-christian bias. and people scoff, it's the war on christmas, but there is a reflexive bias against christians among the elites in the united states and again,

because those are most certainly to be republican voters. this is a long-term plan since 1965, it's not a conspiracy series, it's accurate, to change the nature of the people who live in the united states to ensure a democratic majority and it's working. stuart: there's nothing you can do about it. >> there's never been a referendum. it's fiat from the highest level and we have no say. stuart: why don't we have a choice whom we wish to bring here? there's nothing in the constitution that says who. >> they're required to bring everybody, it's not in the constitution as you pointed out. and trump mocked as he may be, i've never heard a single candidate, why don't we have a skills based immigration system we decide who can come here on what they can bring to our country. if you're hiring 100 people for your business, are you morally bound to take the first hundred who show up. no, you take those who are for your business.

>> i don't think you're a trump guy, but i think you're a guy who looks at the media and the hatred expressed in the media of donald trump, and the contempt for donald trump, as you're reacting against that. i don't necessarily think you're a trump supporter, i don't think you are, i don't know. >> there are things about trump that gives me great pause, but i think the bottom line in one sentence, i think it's legitimate to attack trump, he's running for president, he has a lot of flaws. it's not to dismiss trump voters as oxycodone addict or other-- >> do you think that hillary clinton will hold an if you will scale press conference between now and the election? >> i think she has to. her strategy is making it all about trump. trump was helping her making it all about trump. to the extent that he forces issue forces her out of her hole and explain about the wall and immigration system whether

you have relatives here. stuart: i don't think she will make-- have a press conference. i don't think she can. i think the risk is enormous. all the questions will be about the scandals and the falsehoods and-- >> she faced no risk at all as long as it was about trump. she could hide and she wins that election if it's about um interest p the man, she wins. if it's about trump's issues, he wins. i think at some point, yes, i face a risk in doing that, she's pretty tough, she can handle it, but she hans to respond. stuart: here on "varney & company" we're having the time of our lives. >> you're the happiest, and there's no surprise at all to me that this show is killing it, which it is. because it's like a better show than what is shown on other channels at this time. stuart: you can come back on. >> i'm totally sincere. stuart: tucker carlson, watch him on fox news channel 6 to 10. you're the only guy who does more hours than me. >> i'm asleep half the time. [laughter]

550%, some 620,000 or more syrian refugees coming to the united states, it's just absolutely unacceptable and governors are going to stand against it. stuart: one last one, governor real fast. the other side of the coin is, that these people are in genuine need. they are refugees, they have been persecuted. they are fleeing war and we, as humanitarians have some responsibility to help. what do you think about that? >> you take an area in syria or neighboring states and put a protective zone around it and use the united states military to put those citizens near their original homes until this conflict is over. you help try to bring this conflict to a resolution, but in the meantime, they are staying in their nation. they are protected, we provide food, water, sustenance. rather than bringing them to the united states, disseminating them among a population we have no idea

where they're at, letting them as bill clinton would say, take over detroit, rebuild detroit. it's much better to keep them there in their own country and keep them there. that's the humanitarian thing to do. stuart: governor bryant, governor mississippi. thank you, we appreciate it. >> stu, thanks so much for having me.

stuart: if you want to see the contrasting campaigns, look no further than yesterday it was on full display. they are very different. perhaps the sharpest contrast of of any recent presidential election. hillary clinton appeared before the american legion. her speech was all attack. trump was the target. that was it pretty much for the day. she took no questions. trump the exact opposite. the mexican president made a joint statement with him.

he made a major speech on policy and immigration. he was tweeting morning and night. trump takes the polite cool initiative and engages. hillary retreats. maybe she has no choice. who wants to hold a press conference when scandal would dominate everything. hillary chimed in late yesterday with one tweet. trump just failed his first foreign policy test. diplomacy isn't as easy as it looks. i'll leave it at that. the third hour of "varney and company" is about to begin. [♪] >> we'll build a great wall along the southern borderer. and mexico will pay for the wall. we are going to ends catch and release. anyone who illegally catches

the border will be detained until they are removed from our country and back to the country from which they came. zero tolerance for criminal aliens. we'll triple the number of i.c.e. deportation offices. cancel unconstitutional executive orders, and enforce all immigration laws. there is only one core issue. in the immigration debate. and that issue is the well-being of the american people. stuart: that was donald trump in arizona last night. here is what the mainstream media wrote about that speech. "new york times," the duplicity of donald trump. "washington post" called the

words xenophobic. a circuit atmosphere, and trite. that's a word of contempt. that's contempt in the extreme. brent bozell, what do you make of all this. it seems the contempt overflowed, especially the mexico part. >> it's interesting. there were four stages yesterday. after he -- after the visit, it was kind of anagement that maybe it was successful. but they attacked the president of mexico for daring to visit with him. after a week of attacking him for flip-flopping, they are now attacking him for not flip-flopping. where the substance of it was concerned. the "new york times" called it hollow.

in my entire life i have never heard a more comprehensive plan than this. agree with it or not. and finally and predictably all the networks, abc, nbc, cbs, cnn be they are fix eight on the most important question. did he or didn't he bring up to the president of mexico, mexico paying for the wall. stuart: they nitpick. they have to pick on something to make a controversy. who would pay for the you'll that's what they picked on. amazing stuff. >> if i can say one thing. he is boxed -- he has boxed hillary in a corner on this one and the press knows it. it will break down to this. do you favor following the rule of law or do you not favor following the rule of law? that's the distinction between the two.

the press will hammer him because he knows they boxed him in a corner. stuart: brent will you stay there, i promise i will be back to you momentarily. liz? >> a reality check from righters. there are 750 miles of walls in the european zone in the e.u., equal to 40% of the mexico border. stuart: breaking into the markets. we were down 100 points, now we are down 95. the reason in my opinion is the price of oil. we are way down today. we are down 43-0. a 2.5% drop. even though oil production in the gulf of mexico would be shut down. doesn't matter. we are swimming in this stuff. 43.58. coming up, art laffer.

what a trump presidency be good for the stock market? before you answer, i was shot down on this earlier this morning. no the market action today has nothing to do with the election whatsoever. they shot me down totally. i'm looking to you to resurrect my reputation. go. >> i don't know what i can do for your reputation but i can resurrect you on this issue. yes, this will have a huge effect on the stock market. the corporate tax income he rates he proposed. the the steve moore forecast of growth of 4% for five years, i think if trump gets in that will be a minimum. stuart: 4% in each of the next five years is a gigantic boom. do you think it will be better than that? >> i think 4% average for the next five years is very doable.

we did that under reagan, and frankly, you know, it's much worse now than it was under jimmy carter, if you can believe that. i think the opportunities are great. once the spiral start stuart, the democrats will jump on board and everyone will become tax cutters and pro growthers. just like it was with reagan. stuart: obamacare. it seems like every day we have a new story of failure. a new study, 75% of exchange options next year will be hm, plans. -- will be hmo plans. that means far fewer choices for consumers. is that accurate, art laffer? >> i don't know why you are surprised by that? we have been talking about this for a long, long time. you can't give away something

for free and not expect it to be overused and misused. then you will have to allocate by allocation techniques and not market techniques. that's not the way you want to go on healthcare. it's way too important the let the government run it. stuart: obamacare has been spiraling down. >> it has been disintegrating for a long time and it will fail. what jimmy carter did with gas lines, you may see all that coming up. it will destroy itself and it won't work. you can't have a government system like that work in healthcare. stuart: i want to go back to brent bozell. sphran quarterback colin

kaepernick. but the media largely ignored his comment on hillary clinton. we have hillary who called black teens presented towards and we have a presidential candidate who has deleted emails illegally. that doesn't make sense. if it were any other person you would be in prison. stuart: i didn't see much made of these comment. all we heard about was trump and america. what your thoughts on this? >> i think this man is a disgraceful ingrate. i spit on him for what he has been saying. how dare this moon have done that, given all the men and women who gave their lives for that flag. how dare he do that. he's saying typically stupid things about trump.

but at the same time he has also been saying this about hillary clinton. there were 48 stories on trump. there has only been one story about his attacks on hillary clinton. including an interview with george stephanopoulos with tim kaine, the vice presidential nominee about kaepernick and he never asked about this. stuart: you and i used to talk and i used to say that leftist media bias can't go on forever. well, it did. >> sick attacks by trump on the press. the crowd roared every time. stuart: brent, thank you for joining us. we'll see you soon. look at this. a spacex rocket, it blew up on the launch platform. it looks like a lot of smoke. it did actually blow up. buildings around really shook.

no injuries, but it's hurt tesla stock. spacex is a tesla company. it's struggling to stay above 200. >> lost a payload satellite, that's an expensive malfunction. stuart: we are keeping a watch on tropical storm in the gulf. the "wall street journal" opinion piece titled "benghazi bombshell." it's what jew kition watch and the state department found on hillary clinton's server. we have a number. no googling. we'll have a number and liz will

present it in a moment.

stuart: we asked before the break how much the white house would be worth if it were placed on the market. liz: $250 million. 18 acres of land. the brits came up with this. the royal institution of chartered surveyors of london. stuart: a benghazi bombshell. 0 emails recovered by the f.b.i. from hillary clinton's private server. tom, welcome to the program. i read this headline in the "wall street journal." benghazi bombshell.

what the f.b.i. found on hillary's private server. what did they find and what's the significance? >> what the f.b.i. did is they went to her server or servers and recovered the -- attempted to recover some of the deleted emails mrs. clinton deleted. she only gave half the emails she had to the stated department. they recovered 14,900 emails they didn't turn over to the state department. the state department found 30 emails that were responsive to our request for benghazi information. they want a month to look at those 30 emails, and the court suggests that's too long, an email a day. but there are 14,900 emails that are not about yoga or her

daughter's wedding, but about a terrorist attack. stuart: were they written and sent at the time when hillary clinton was saying it was all because of the video, not terror? >> we don't know, because the government hasn't told us that. just to find out that it was 30 emails, they said they found the benghazi emails last week. they wouldn't tell us how many. sow the court had to hold a hearing and we found out as a result much a federal court hearing. they have until tuesday to report back to the court as to what's going on on how quickly they can release them. stuart: you submitted questions to hillary clinton concerning her private server. and she will submit answers in writing. i put it to you, tom, she won't even see these questions or

won't have much to do with them. her lawyers will write the response and you can't respond to the lawyers. it's under wraps. >> i suspect her lawyers will have involvement in helping her craft the responses. but in the end she'll have to say these are my answers and they are under oath. this is pursuant to a federal court order and the court has questions he thinks she hasn't answered yet about her email system, so he gave us the ability. we would have freeferred question her in person. he said you can do something less onerous and give her questions in the writing and she has to do it by september 29. so we'll be getting benghazi emails potentially and her answers under oath and who knows what else the next few weeks. stuart: please come back and tell us what you found. thanks very much, tom fitton.

. stuart: the dow is down 70 odd points that's because oil dropped to the $43 per barrel level. look at the price of walmart stock, there's news there. they're cutting -- i think it's back off jobs, ashley what's that? ashley: yeah, i'm just reading about this. they kind of hinted at this but what they're doing is taking all of these accounting jobs in each of their individual stores and eliminating that position and streamlining it to one central area at the headquarters in arkansas. these are much prized jobs. the person gets to sit down rather than stand on their

feet all day, they're quite well paid, and i was just reading a quote from one of the employees and say none of these jobs open up but now they're being eliminated because walmart tries to cut its costs as they compete with the amazons of the world . stuart: you've got that right. now, donald trump will visit a black church in detroit this weekend as part of his minority outreach. listen to what he said about that effort at a rally in washington state earlier this week. roll tape. >> in the wall street journal today, heather macdonald of manhattan and the manhattan institute just wrote an article about the soaring crime, and it's soaring like you've never seen before in the inner cities, and the responsibility of democratic politicians for creating this horrible problem. big article. highly, highly respected person. er

stuart: and look who's here. heather macdonald, author on the war on cops and also an article of black lives matter to donald trump. why and in what way black lives matter to donald trump? what racist and on a lethal vendetta against black citizens. it's false, and it's dangerous dangerous. stuart: well, hillary clinton criticizes donald trump very

very sharply for painting what she says is a very unfortunate and stressing picture of the black community. because he's saying this kind of thing, he's being hypocrisy is stunning and hard to follow frankly . stuart: heather, would you just hold on for a second? i have a donald trump on the news front here about mr. trump's appearance at a black trump i think coming up this saturday. ashley: the bishop wane

jackson managed to land an interview with donald trump, a one-on-one interview in detroit and prior to that interview. i remember this impact network, a very powerful and influential broadcasting network. he was invited to a service at the church. this created outrage according to the bishop among his congregation who really reacted as though the devil himself had been invited to take part in the services. we understand that is going to go ahead, and he is indeed going to be part of the traditionally black church on saturday. . stuart: but black leaders, they did not want him, this particular black leader did not want him there. what is trump's policy for getting some jobs, real jobs into the black community? and real better schools?

the post office to pick up their social security checks.reclamation policy number one. nothing else matters. stuart: heather macdonald manhattan institute. thank you very much to joining us today. we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you, stuart, . stuart: okay. back to trump's speech on immigration last night in arizona. here are some of the highlights. roll tape. >> we will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. there will be no amnesty. we will immediately terminate

president obama's two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnettity to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants . stuart: that was trump last night speaking on immigration in arizona. here is republican congressman from texas. did you like the specifics of what he had to say about law and order last night? >> absolutely. absolutely did. he was saying the things -- some of us had gotten a little concerned that maybe he was softening his position. but he took criticism previously, stuart, for saying we have some very good laws. that's what some of us have been pointing out when obama kept saying, well, we can't secure the border because we fixed the law. the laws were there. they needed enforcing. and his point about with

holding federal money in sanctuary cities are not going to follow federal law. it's one thing for obama to be driving around. would they be in a wreck with illegal insurance? probably not. i hear it all the time to people that it happens. and when you have a little girl who say it's just my mom and me and he totaled my car and when the tow truck took my car, he took off. well, if obama gets hit, the taxpayers buy a new one. but here in texas and around the united states, people don't have that luxury. we need a president who will enforce the law. and i tell you something else, stuart. he had some facts that he set out in there that i know came from people that i love and trust and work in the house

and senate, and i'm really pleased to see what he had to say. stuart: now, louie, you've never been a big trump supporter. you're not enthusiastic toward him. are you warming up to him? >> that speech goes a long way. excellent. really excellent. the ten points were right on point. enforce the laws we've got eliminate the executive amnesties. stuart, he even said that properly. so many people in the media say, well, you know, president obama signed these executive orders creating amnesty. he didn't even sign orders. he spoke it and then jay johnson did memos that created the illegal amnesty. so he's really getting these things down, and that was really encouraging, and especially just coming back from mexico. he went, he stood his ground with the mexican president, he looked presidential, that's very encouraging. . stuart: okay. that's interesting. louie, thank you very much for

joining us as always. i'm sorry it's so short. you know how it is. full of news. just keeps on happening. louie, everyone. thank you very much. i want to get back to obamacare. i'm saying -- it's in a death spiral. after the break, we're going to break down my interview with obamacare emmanuel. we're going to break it down point by point. that's coming up next . stuart: really screwed america. go ahead. i don't know why you're smiling because i think -- go at it. >> your memory is just so poor about how bad the system was, first of all, on -- let me make three points. stuart: let me laugh. i believe your brother runs chicago; right? is he paying 55% more on his health care premiums? because the people of illinois are.

>> and a very good afternoon morning still i suppose. lori rothman on the floor of the new york stock exchange with your fox business brief. stocks once again being dragged lower by falling price of crude oil. down 2% plus at the moment. so stocks turn lower here as a result. the dow off 80 points at about a half of 1%. on the s&p 500 you've got 2.3%, having a great day, the gambling casino owner up 5%. basically reporting its first rise in gambling revenue in some two years. so that's good for them. on the downside, though, you

have shares off almost more than rather than 9%. the automakers the first of the month, you can see the stock reacting as a result. general motors ford down with declining sales. quickly pokémon go generated more revenue than the top box office right now. 480million for pokémon go.

>> republicans complaining about that. shocking. stuart: it's always somebody else's fault, isn't it? >> that's not what about the

affordable -- would you let me finish? first of all, i agree that having high -- stuart: zika, you've lost your smile. are you now going to apologize for what you've done? i think you should apologize and if you can't, we're done. >> there's no way i'm apologizing. stuart: thank you very much indeed. smile. it's over. . stuart: that was a little part of my interview with zeek emmanuel, on obamacare which i say is a death spiral. we're going to fact check what zeek had to say. first of all listen to this. >> the first point is we had insured 20 million people. so whatever your version of failure is, that's a big improvement. and we now have less than 30 million americans without insurance. that's a substantial improvement. . stuart: okay. hold on a second. we have betsy mccoy with us. the author of beating obamacare. he says 20 million uninsured

now less than 30 million. >> the lion share of those 20 million people were enrolled in medicaid steward. they're not covered by obamacare plans. the fact is 8 million previously uninsured people were enrolled in obamacare plans and maybe some of them are winners, not all wanted to do it. but the fact is compare them with the 11 million americans who are paying penalties because they don't want obamacare. 11million. and 5 million people who lost their plans and lost their doctors because they had to give up their plans because of this. stuart: you know sometimes i have to restrain you. so restrain yourself for just a second. here's another one, betsy, roll that tape, please. >> the second point is in many of the states you identify where we don't have enough insurers, that is a long-standing problem of rural areas, and i totally agree we need to address it. it is not escaping. but it's not a problem that the affordable care act created . stuart: okay. there are five

states -- hold on. five states where there's one insurer. 17 states where there's either one or two insurers. he says it's not obamacare's fault. go. >> it is not a role problem. it is obamacare's fault. one of the states suffering the most because of this is florida. we see many states where there were four or five insurers it's down to one because the other insurers dropped out this year. aetna, humanna, united health care, they're all dropping out because they're losing billions of dollars on a plan that cannot be executed . stuart: that was a short answer with all you've got to say. very good. number one point number three. roll tape. >> the third point i want to make is that, in fact, health insurance premiums have come -- not come down, but have not increased at the same rate they did between 2000 and 2010. in fact, the american public la count 2 recent analyses . stuart: desperation. >> saving a substantial amount

of money compared to what we expected. >> that's the wizard of oz. the fact is health insurance premiums are shooting up on average 23% this year. and let's put this in perspective. when obamacare was passed just before it was passed, health spending was increasing at the slowest pace in 50 years. 3.9% stuart. now, according to the congressional budget office, it's increasing at oar 5%. and soon it's going to be increasing at 6%. so obamacare did not slow the increase in health care spending. it accelerated it . stuart: i made another comment. i said does your brother, rob emmanuel who's the mayor of chicago, i said is he going to have to pay the 50, 55% increases like everyone else in illinois? now, he didn't answer the question but am i factually correct? >> yeah, the majority of people will have a 55% increase this year. and what emmanuel is calling

for is tougher foliants keep people into this losing plan. the fact is the next president on day one inauguration day should suspend those penalties on obamacare uninsured people so that people have a choice of whether to buy these losing plans or not. they're facing $1,000 or mor per person. stuart: well, we had a lot of people get on facebook and make comments about the interview that we did. >> uh-huh. stuart: and a lot of them were pointing out this -- the idea these deductibles. not just 6- 7,000. one person wrote in and said look, for two people -- >> 12,000 . stuart: for this lady it was 9,000. >> yeah. stuart: but it can go up to 10, 11 12,000? >> after you've paid enormous amounts for the plan. you never get any of it back. but here's something that's very telling. more people have paid the penalty choosing not to have obamacare than signed up for obamacare. stuart: that true? more people pay the penalty than signed up? >> more than 11 million people paid the penalty to avoid having obamacare .

stuart: all right, betsy. i'm glad you know your stuff and i wish i would have that stuff in my head when i did the interview yesterday. but you can't get a word in otherwise. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you . stuart: i've got breaking news. a couple minutes ago a federal judge sentenced the romanian hacker known as g works on osfer to prison. ashley: unauthorized access to a computer. hacked a lot of high profile people's accounts including former secretary of state collin powell,, and i imagine they're not going to give him a computer in jail. stuart: i guess not. how about this? of all the people -- these people on the screen, who is

the most interesting man in the world? one of them is on this program next and it's not just me. [laughter] sharks have a week dedicated to him. he is the most interesting man in the world. >> i don't always drink beer. but when i do, i prefer dosxs.

. stuart: you know who that guy is. he's the former most interesting man in the world. >> oh, that's evil. [laughter] . stuart: and he's here. do you believe this? his name is jonathan goldsmith, and he lives in vermont. >> a beautiful state. stuart: yeah,, yeah,, yeah. socialist paradise. i know. now, you had a slight spanish accent on that commercial.

>> very preceptive. the gneiss thing i was living on a sailboat, and i did my own woodwork and all of the fellows on the dock thought i was latino. stuart: that was a terrific spot. i want to talk about your new venture, which is true inc.,. >> right. stuart: this is an online venture. >> yes, it is. stuart: and what you're telling people is it's experience, which is more valuable than things. >> exactly. it's interactive. it's an interesting story. when i was a young man, i was in this magazine. i was all about challenge and personal and besting one another. and i met a fellow who happens to be the publisher of this incredible magazine. it went out of business about -- after 35 years in the mid-60s i guess. but some writers earnest hemingway, winston churchill hill, i'm sure you know him. and it's a marvelous

recapturing of adventure. stuart: you've resurrected it as an online magazine? >> absolutely, yeah. stuart: so if i get into it, you show me experiences, travel experiences? adventure experiences? >> absolutely, for instance, the publisher is on his way to mongolia on sunday to look for tomb . stuart: you're a business guy, even though you live in socialist paradise, you are a business guy. how do you make money out of that? >> well, you know about advertising. somebody pays your salary, don't they? . stuart: yes, the advertisers. that's true. that's how it's done? that's it? >> well, i'm not involved with the mechanics of that. but all i know is i am -- have an out lib for my poetry, i have been for years, and now i'm going to have a series on true mystery.

all kinds of wonderful adventures, shivvlery and all things like that, which was not invented in england . stuart: people who believe experiences are more powerful than things are people with a whole lot of money because they have all the things they want. is that accurate? >> i don't think so. it's experience. we're such a materialistic society. there's no time for things that like the old days. experiencing things. instant panacea, the computer answers. but not understanding. not interactive. nine years i had the pleasure of playing that character. but i never related with people. . stuart: okay. >> and now i have an opportunity. i'm going to be involved -- i'm going, taking people all around the world on various jaunts and adventures and things . stuart: i'm coming up on a hard break but that was interesting. true, inc. jonathan goldsmith. thank you very much for being with us. >> editor amerits . stuart: i'm sorry. vermont socialist.
