dagen: that we probably won't find out until the fall. thanks to heather and mike and see you all. maria will be back tomorrow. she'll interview treasury secretary steve mnuchin, and then to the u.s. open. then it's "varney & company." stuart: thank you very much indeed. the investors dilemma, buy the dip or join the selling. money and politics, that's what we do and there's plenty to cover as this new week begins. good morning, early signs suggests there will be more selling of big name tech stocks. at least that's how the trading day will begin. it started friday when apple, amazon, alphabet, microsoft, facebook, sold off big time and they are down again this morning. will you look at that? no, that's premarket. good heavens. look at those. serious losses and that's how things are likely to open up at 9:30 this morning. so, here is the dilemma. is it time to get back in and

treat the selloff as a buying opportunity or is this a signal that the whole market is due for a drop and big tech was just the start? we will watch this unfold. now, here is a dilemma for democrats. is it time to rein in the extreme and now obscene criticism of president trump? outrageous examples of both this weekend. at taxpayer expense, shakespeare in the park, showed a trump look alike being stabbed to death. two pulled back and one did not. and gillibrant used an f-bomb as she described the poles. and so welcome to the show. are you buying the dip or the increasingly vicious attacks on our president?

"varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ i can see people selling at those very high prices on the fabulous five and rolling some money into lower technology companies, which haven't yet had the pop. >> well, that was me on friday, suggesting that maybe the big name tech stocks would be big selling point, as people moved their money into other stocks. that did happen. big tech names, they took a huge hit on friday, apple, amazon, facebook, alphabet, microsoft, netflix. more in just a moment. suffice it to say they're going to open lower about 27 minutes from now, as we start the new week. i've got big corporate news for you to get things loving. jeff immelt will step down as ceo of general electric. he's been there 16 years.

here is ge stock price premarket, it's up a buck, that's 4%. details on the leaving. liz: he's being replaced by a 30-year veteran, john flanker -- flan flan flanery. it's beaten the indices since the financial collapse it's been underwater in terms of when he started. i tell you, they've been hitting their eps targets with stock buybacks, but negative class flows. and placed a bet on oil before it plunged and spin off the media business. he has no sacred cows, can he move that stock price to start in the green direction. stuart: he's had 16 years. liz: jeff immelt has. stuart: a troubled period in

ge. i want to get back to that later. i want to get to the big tech names, they're going to take a haircut at the opening well. former reagan economist art laffer. i don't want to suggest that the show moves the market, but we did discuss rotating out of the big ones during the show. i want to blow my handwritten. >> you're way too cool. i follow you immensely on this. stuart: is this the dip or the start of a big selloff over the whole market? >> i don't think it's a big sell i don't have over the whole market. it may be a fairly large dip. these stocks have done extraordinarily well for long time and you get down turns now and then. i don't see anything fundamental in the marketplace that would tell me we're in for a huge down turn in the evera everall-- overall stock market. i've been wrong before.

stuart: you're going against david, who says it could drop 35%, that's a selloff and and a half. he says wall street is not ragsal. why don't you respond to him? >> he's been saying that for ten years. every now and then even a blind pig kinds an acorn and sooner or later he'll be right and he'll claim victory. the tut truth is, i don't see the evidence that says this economy is in trouble. i think the historical norms are below where they should be, if we get this boom i think is going to come with trump policies and taxes and already some has been put in, i don't see the market going down in the future. stuart: i want to add this as a last minute caveat. >> yes, sir. stuart: we get the boom if we get the tax cut, the infrastructure and cutting of red tape, correct? >> that's true. that's for sure, but we've already had a lot of changes, by the way. just not imposing new rules is

wonderful for the market and not kicking it and beating it like obama did every year. just stopping and hurting the market will do good for the market and give us somewhat of an increase and then if you have positive policies added on top of that, my goodness, this market has no place to go, but up. stuart: okay, we'll right there, art. because i think our viewers will like to hear that, this market has nowhere to go, but up. art laffer on videotape. see you soon. >> okay, sir. stuart: dianne feinstein wants loretta lynch investigated. watch this. >> i would have a queasy feel, too though, to be candid with you. i think we need to know more about that and there's only one way to know about it and that's to have the judiciary committee took at that. judge napolitano is here. that's a front.

>> she didn't say to have the senate look at it, to have the judiciary committee look at it. why did she say that? because there's a turf battle between the intelligence and judiciary. judiciary have serious cross examiners on it and the others don't. stuart: the whole point she raises-- >> is that jim comey accused loretta lynch of a crime called misconduct in office making a decision as the chief federal law enforcement officer in the land based upon the political wishes of the president and the democratic candidate for president. stuart: so i would interpret that, that's legalese. i would interpret that as this is interference in the political process by the nation's top law enforcement official in the election last year and for the obama administration. >> this is interference in the law enforcement, investigatory process for political purposes by the chief law enforcement officer of the land and this is the first time we've seen it articulated. now, we knew that she told him to call it a matter.

we knew that because fbi agents were teasing him. you're now the director of the federal bureau of matters. he got sick of the teasing and dropped the matter and went on national television and said it's a criminal investigation,that's what we do, plain and simple, after calling it a matter for months, but he realized that this matter, this use of the word matter, and other phrases that she requested of him mirrored the phrases used by the clinton campaign, pardon me, to characterize what the fbi was doing. stuart: so, it's not all going the democrats way. >> no. stuart: the comey hearings were rough on president trump. >> you just ran a clip from senator dianne feinstein, senior ranking democrat on the senate judiciary committee, who wants to investigate whether or not the democratic attorney general, loretta lynch, got instructions from the democratic president, barack

obama to put a spin on the investigation into hillary clinton. stuart: it's not all bad to the republicans. >> it's not all republicans. but sad that an adds to the perception that law enforcement is political, very, very bad. stuart: it adds to my perception that the obama administration on several occasions interfered with the political process and used the machinery of government against republicans when you're talking irs and loretta lynch. >> correct, and she condemned and said she took herself out of the hierarchy of the justice department because the meeting on the tarmac with bill clinton and bill clinton and hillary clinton herself were-- >> the political changing.

>> it's interesting to hear from chuck grassley. stuart: that's why it's top of the show. >> oh. stuart: and i've got some gee-whiz stuff for you from faebs. wait for it. they're working on a way to let you type with your mind. on facebook. you think of a word and facebook types it out for you, no more keyboards. i have no idea how it works, mind waves, maybe? but we're going to get into it. >> that's dangerous. stuart: sure is. and sports, big time for the pittsburgh penguins, beat the nashville predators 2-0. and the pittsburgh penguins win back to back for the first time sense 1998. and evander holyfield inducted into the boxing hall of fame over the weekend, there he is, and look who is walking into our studio, yes, the man

>> gold has had a run recently, but it's backed off significantly. 1266 is your price this morning. you know, there really is a lot going on with uber. the company's considering a leave of absence for this gentleman, travis kalanick, top executive. they're going to bring in an independent executive on the

board to face these multiple scandals that they've got within the company. james freeman, wall street journal editorial guy joins us now. can you put it in a nutshell? what's going on with uber? >> there's a big challenge here. you have basically a company, a fast-growing start-up. valued highly, but unprofitable, trying to figure out where it fits in with this new world of technology and it's basically been accused of having a cultural problem, which is resulting in a lot of executives leaving and perhaps people at the very top now eventually move on. stuart: is it bad behavior by the executives, risque behavior, bordering on harassment, that sort of thing? >> allegations of harassment since february from a former employee and also a scandal in india where they were-- one executive fired recently, trying to get or did get information on a rape victim. i guess he thought it was some

effort to smear the company. so, you also have a federal investigation. maybe they've been too aggressive in going into new markets. local politicians hate them because they've been breaking up the bureaucratic world of taxi cabs. stuart: but users like uber. and nobody says i'm not going to touch them with a 10-foot pole. >> they have a cultural problem and need to behave better. if the manage amount behave better, they know how to operate a ride service. stuart: they will have to delay any plans to go public. i know they're valued at $68 billion. i don't think they'll risk that valuation by going public in this climate and saying investors say yes or no.

>> it's a tricky time. they lose 3 billion a year and what travis kalanick said an exsten sh exst exstential threat. if they decide to launch on an ipo road show, i think it will get a lot of questions. >> i do, too, if they decide to launch on that road show. james, stay with us, please. the big name tech stocks, huge losses friday and a real break in their upside move and more losses at the opening bell today for all six of the big-name technology stocks that we follow very, very closely. overall the dow will be down and the big names down significantly more. back in a moment.

up until friday and all of them came down big and i mean big time, 4, 5% drops, some of the biggest names anywhere in the world in technology. how are we going to open up this morning. in four seconds, the market opens and our first check is the big techs. 9:30 monday morning, what's going on here? we're down just a fraction on the dow jones industrial average. we're down 17 points and plenty of red on the left-hand side of your screen, i've got that. look at the nasdaq, how did that open? a whooping great big drop on friday and down another 55 points right now. almost another 1% drop. so, technology across the board taking it on the chin. s&p 500 is down a me quarter of 1%, it's a broader-based market index. now, look at, before we go to the big techs, look at ge, immelt, as in jeffrey, stepping down.

he's been there 16 years and the market likes it, rewarding with a 4 1/2% gain. the big story of the day, the big name technology stocks as they open this monday morning and will you look at that? apple is down $5. 143 on apple. last week it was 155. amazon down to 965. last week it was 1012. facebook was 153, down another 2 bucks this morning at 147. let me see alphabet. microsoft, netflix, another-- these are more of the huge gainers, big name technology alphabet, that's google. down $17 at 952. it reached 1,000 last week. microsoft was 72, and now 68. netflix also on the down side. here is the story, the big name tech stocks, they are the big story of the day and the selloff is continuing. big stuff. joining us now, elizabeth macdonald.

james freeman, scott shellady. i'm starting with the tech selloff. is this the dip or a sign of really big selling still to come. scott shellady? >> you know what? slow you roll and stay in your lane here. two words for you here, lazy money. when they chase it up, on a momentum, and they're really not just by -- justified being in the stock in the first place, these are the first people comings out. that's what's happening. this is them on the exit as they took the stock higher on momentum plays and no right being in the stock in the first place. stuart: let me see how big the selloff is. >> nearly 100 billion paper losses on friday. stuart: just friday. liz: just friday. what scott is talking about. they're responsible, the stocks, 2/5 of the s&p 500 gain and adding market value to the overall s&p 500. so it's a lot of money at stake here, he's absolutely right. $600 billion equal to south

africa and others combined. paper gains so far this year for the stocks, so they're up 600 million. stuart: paper gains of 600 billion, friday, 100 billion loss more losses today and probably 50, 60 billion as we speak. liz: possibly. stuart: james, you're not a stock market analyst, but i'm asking you a stock market question. is this a dip or start of a selloff broadly based? >> you're still sitting on gains if you're an investor. earnings have been getting better, that's great. the stock has been rising faster than the earnings, has been increasing, so, you know, markets fluctuate and maybe this is a natural dialing down, given the huge run-up lately? >> my question is, will investors start to jump in. if amazon is now 957, 955 as you see on the board there, will they jump in and expect it to go back to 1,000. liz: which stocks, microsoft is

up sweetly. could that be the breakout. stuart: do investors come back on the dip and buy because they think it's a buying opportunities and it's going up by the end of the day? are they going to do that? >> you have to be optimistic about future growth. this gets into the debates how fast the economy is going to grow. if you're looking at fundamental analysis, they're tough stocks to say they're a bargain though, after recent drops, amazon is probably 170 times earnings or something like that, so, it's really, it's kind of a belief in how they grow in the future and they have been growing very fast and how fast the economy grows. stuart: now, the big winner among the dow stocks is general electric. why is ge up nearly 5%? that's a whopping great big gain for that particular company. jeff immelt out at ge, the ceo for 16 years, he's done and scott shellady, was his tenure that bad for the stock for the

company? >> in a word, yes. look at the performance of that stock over the last 15 years. it's horrible, a bad loser on the dow and going forward, big investors, they lost their confidence. when they lose confidence, they op and finally, jack welch is always going to be a tough act to follow, too. he had a couple of bad things going his way, 15, 16 years later. this is what happened. >> was it the economic times that did in ge and jeff immelt. or him, what he did to the company? >> and he did have some challenges, a financial crisis, obviously, ge in the middle of it couldn't roll their commercial paper. stuart: they were a financial company during the crisis. >> i think maybe if we want to say, i know it's been not the run that investors wanted, certainly not what the jack welch era was, but one thing that's nice, here is an

executive who did learn from the financial crisis and decided he didn't want to be a too big to fail company anymore and didn't want ge to be that way and they've become a more focused company and i know it's been rough on shareholders at times, but taxpayers, i think you've got to appreciate that somebody didn't want that federal safety net and changed his company. stuart: well, there are people buying it right now on the expectation that it bounces back, nearly a 5% gain. and other stories that we've been following, retail ice age. listen to this, a study from cornerstone capital, it seems like exaggeration, at least 6 million retail jobs are in jeopardy and by the way, moody's lifts 22 retailers at risk of bankruptcy and only listed 19 of risk of bankruptcy during the height of the crisis. >> these kind of studies, they're looking at jobs that they think will go away because

of technology and they're generally not understanding the new ones that will be created. obviously, very challenging for retail, but some people have figured it out. you look at best buy, given up for dead a while ago and they figured out that manufacturers of big electronics equipment want a showroom and they're willing to support a company that's going to be there and not simply on-line. so, and you definitely, you have to have a creative strategy, but i think it's probably pessimistic. liz: the stores up for bankruptcy according to moodies, looked like they carved out a niche. they're so underwater with debt. charming charlie. nine west shoes, neiman more cuss and true religion, now they're at risk of bankruptcy? >> it's only just started. stuart: hold on a second, i want to turn to you, scott. you're our european correspondent these days.

[laughter], yeah, you are, look it or not. aldy and lidle, german companies going to build stores and sell creep groceries, do you think that's a threat to the wal-marts of the world in america? what do you say, scott? >> maybe not in the beginning, stuart, but what i can say is this, having been here now a while, the landed gentry and who you would hang around with here, they are slowly, but surely sneaking into those places under darkness because they like the stores better. they've gotten a lot of play here with the upper crust going to those places and kind of solidifying the market entrance. they could be a force to be dealt with down the road. once people get familiar with them, they're here to stay. stuart: the germans are coming, the germans are coming. they've thrown that at me all

these years, the british are coming. by the way, the losses in ap and microsoft count for a whole lot. and by way, microsoft announced a new xbox x-one console, $499 $100 more than the sony. and there's a downgrade to apple and they're concerned that the iphone 8 the enthusiasm around it is built into the price of the stock ap it's down 4%. 143 on apple. here is a story i want to get to. gee-whiz tech. facebook is trying to get together so it types what you're thinking in your mind. brain waves. don't laugh, scott gentleman somebody tweeted me, the

democratic party better not get on here, there's a lot of vulgarity delay. it's a delayed send. it's the idea na it's a headband. somehow flash a light into your eye and see what part of your brain is active and try to guess which words you're thinking of and then fine tune it with the help of 60 scientists to do thought texting, thought e-mailing. it's science fiction stuff, i don't know if it's plausible. stuart: it's dangerous. liz: dangerous for sure. need a delay on the send button. >> i need a brain implant for sure. stuart: we're ten minutes into the session, we're down 16, 17 points, the story of the day is the huge drop still going on in those big name technology companies. i've got to say goodbye to scott and to james. thank you very much indeed. monday morning, big show, off to a great start. yes, thanks for being with us.

let's get back to amazon, the amazon is 20 dollars lower. president trump and daughter ivanka pushing a new plan for jobs and bringing back manufacturing and they say a four-year college degree may not be the right path for everyone. they want someone learning a trade-in stead. that's interesting. apprenticeships, anyone?

>> all right. what we've got here is a big board that shows a 33 point loss for the dow industrials. by the way, look at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, the nasdaq, the home of technology is down a whopping 82 points, way more than 1%. so i can tell you clearly that the selloff in big tech continues. amazon reportedly plans to sell cars in europe. tell me more, please, nicole.

nicole: are they going to be the only company left in america, we buy our goods from them, they move to groceries and get everything in an instant. now reportedly moving to cars in europe pushing some showers abroad in the united kingdom under pressure and there are reports and there's one trade publication in germany, in particular, that's noting this, that they have already done the test market in italy, that they are planning to expand in the u.k., and luxembourg and they've now took an industry specialist, chris moehler to put him in charge of business car sales. not only are they now talking about this? they're in the midst of hiring car sales executives so they can have european car dealerships for amazon. right now, you see the stock is down $28. we know that tech overall has been under pressure. this is a whole new development

for amazon and cars in europe. stuart: that stock is down 60 bucks in a couple of days. thank you very much indeed. i want to focus on manufacturing. look to is with us, drew gre greenblatt, the ceo of marlin steel. i've got my pet theory here shall the way to bring manufacturing jobs back to america is to create the situation where you've got very cheap electricity. am i on track with a good idea there? >> it's a critical element. you know, electricity, energy in general, it's about-- we use about 40%, manufacturers. so there's a huge input and there's a big impact. the fact that we're having all of this fracking and natural gas exploration, it's driving the price of fuel and energy down and making a huge competitive marketplace advantage for american manufacturers, compared to korea and china and europe where they have much more

expensive energy. so it's a big benefit for american manufacturers. stuart: the president's whole energy policy is bring down the cost. create it domestically and bring down the cost. get rid of the paris climate accord and encourage fracking. do you see real progress in opening up the energy market and getting juice costs down? >> absolutely. because it's, again, a big input cost for a lot of factories and these manufacturers, they're competing with mexico. they're competing with china and korea and when their costs are higher, they're going to lose and we're going to win more and that's great for the american worker and that's what i care about. we need more american manufacturing jobs. stuart: yes, we do. >> the average wage is $83,000 a year and when energy costs are-- >> that's the average wage in your steel factories, $83,000 a year? >> that includes benefits, and if the factory is an exporter averaging the mid 90's, so it's a tremendous benefit for the

american worker when energy costs are low because that really differentiates the american worker's opportunity versus the chinese or korean employee. stuart: i want you to deal with this one, drew. ivanka trump is calling for work force development. listen to this tape. >> there's a viable path other than a four-year college experience, so really investing in vocational education, skill-based training. there are 6 million available american jobs, so we're constantly hearing from ceo's that they have job openings, but they don't have workers with the skillset they need to fill those jobs. so really bridging that gap and bringing experience-based education to the forefront. stuart: drew, i think ivanka trump is talking about apprenticeships. your reaction? >> she's spot on. we have a disconnect. we have a big skills gap in

america where we have colleges pumping out students that have abilities that don't match the needs of american factories and american business in general. and also, not every high school kid should go to college. some, it's better for them to get a vocational trade. they'll do better. again, in manufacturing, you could be earning, 60, 70, 80, 90 grand a year without a college degree. this is a path for some people, not all, and i think she's nailed it and right now the problem is that we have 40-something different government entities spending billions of dollars and it's diffused and it's got to be organized and streamlined and we've got to get college administrators-- i'm sorry, high school administrators and guidance counsellors to realize that a path for everybody should be including vocational tech. stuart: we don't need student debt around some youngsters

neck either. drew greenblatt, appreciate it. i'm moving fast because i've got two items up for auction at christie's. do you know what that is? >> that is is an enigma. a genuine enigma. german generals used to coordinate and hitler with that machine and it's up for auction. on the front here, that's the first apple computer. one of the first apple computers built by jobs and wozniak. both up for auction. that's 1976. you'll get a much better look in a moment. t on, like what goes down doesn't always come back up. ♪ [ toilet flushes ] ♪ so when you need a plumber, you can count on us to help you find the right person for the job. discover all the ways we can help at angie's list.

also in new york, the puerto rican day parade, big guest, a terrorist, who manufactured bombs, there is no americans. he had been released by president obama. some democrats. actually embraced him. more from new york. kirsten gillibrand. while describing president trump proposes owe. media called the demonstrators anti-islam. that was not so. very interesting, that "the new york times" has a piece today, pointing out that extremists on the left are hurting the democrat party, gee, you think? maybe moderates in the trying to

understand violent resistance to all things trump will not attract voters. maybe there are voices within the party who understand he is not going to be impeached. it should be evident that the contempt shown for our president encourages violence. they will not listen. enough is enough. you're not helping your cause and you are not helping america. the second hour of "varney & company" is about too begin. ♪ >> when it comes to the tapes and it comes to testifying he ought to say what he means and if he does, we'll take him up on each case. i would like to invite the president to testify before the senate. i think we could work out a way that it could be dignified, public, with questions. stuart: now we're going to deal

with the democrats and president trump in just a moment but right now i'm showing you the money side of the program today, which is a downside move for the dow industrials down 70 as we speak. here is why. big tech stocks, biggest of big names are down again and down significantly again. look at this, apple is down nearly 3, 4%. amazon back to to 950. look at alphabet, formerly known as google, look at microsoft, netflix, all of them way, way down, big percentage drops all over again. i will bring this to your attention, ge's jeff immelt stepping down as ceo after 16 years. the market likes it. the stock is up 3 and 1/3%. one more technology stock, snap hitting all-time low. it is back to 17. i want to get back to my editorial at the top of the

hour. we call it my take. the democrats, they're split and violent anti-trump left appears to be taking the party over. listen to senator kirsten gillibrand using an obscenity giving a speech at new york university. roll tape. >> has he kept any of these promises? no. [bleep] no. [laughter] instead -- [applause] instead, sorry, i understand this is younger audience. this is okay. fundamentally, if we are not helping people, we should go [bleep] them? stuart: what did i just hear? i understand younger audience it is okay? what? i didn't know that. i did not see that particular, i did not know that. that was a shock. sorry, that was a shock. let me move on. check this headline out from the "new york times," it read, and i'm quoting directly, democrats in split screen. the base wants it all. the party wants to win.

there is a lot to go at for fox news contributor tammy bruce. first of all, i know it's a young audience so that is okay, so you can drop an f-bomb on young sisters. >> someone advised her to do this, that is mistake, right? she was surprised she did it herself. she did it during an interview in front of an audience in front of magazine, almost exactly same line, almost like hillary's deplorable line, she used it in a script in "variety" of arenas. they think young people will relate to them if they sound sloppy or edgy. that is not going to happen. that is big mistake. all of us sometimes use swearing. stuart: we do. >> sloppy way of speaking, certainly we're not u.s. senators in front of an audience in public. like a child looking for attention. it worked. we've seen her now in the news a lot, haven't we? stuart: at the top of the hour i said enough is enough.

this utter contempt for our president is leading to violence, is leading to a violent reaction against the president, witness shakespeare in the park. >> yes. stuart: am i going too far? >> no. when you see this kind of dynamic people become inured to it. they see violence is natural, almost like terrorism, the left wants you to see terrorism as nuisance which is john kerry's word. it become as regular part of your day, when you see it, you don't have shocked rejecting reaction we normally would. when you have the scene in that play is remarkable. even though the audience seemed to like it, a number of people spoke to press afterwards saying well, this was a little shocking and maybe we shouldn't be doing it. in the back of a new york city mind of an audience they didn't like it. the shakespeare in the park is supported by companies. the tickets are free. they're given out in lottery way but donors get tickets and

guaranteed seating, you have thntire swamping of regular new yorkers in a beautiful scenario watching the murder effectively of a man who looks like donald trump, gory and aggressive, physical. i think that it is about normalizing and making it even romantic in a way attacking the president. stuart: i'm shocked to see it come a few days after the severed head of kathy griffin and other extraordinary developments in terms of the public demeanor of the left. i'm -- liz: totally incompetent. tammy is right, you can not win over the rust belt, midwest voter who the democrat union worker, with swearing or gory displays like this. stuart: hold on a second because i have to move -- there is a lot of stuff to cover this morning and i want to get to it. attorney general jeff sessions is scheduled to testify before the senate intelligence committee tomorrow about the russian investigation. senator john barrasso joins us now. even with all the drama in d.c.,

are you guys still able to make progress repeating obamacare and taxes? i want to press the point because so often we heard on this program yes, we're making progress, yes, we're getting it done. can you guarranty it, senator? >> i am very committed to it, stuart. we are going to get it done. i agree, enough is enough. i was in wyoming, people want to focus on things important to their lives at home in terms of jobs, the economy, national security and of course health care. so tax reform is important and critical that we get it done. the reason it is important so that we can actually get more people working and, bring back jobs from overseas. bring back money from overseas, in terms of repatriation. those are the things that we have to do, make product we create in this country more available to be sold overseas and more competitive. there are real reasons to get these things done. it is not just checking something off. it is getting it done to get the

country going again. stuart: one more for you, senator, upgrading the infrastructure. that obviously is a big priority for you. is this an area where congress can get things done quickly? there is bipartisan support, is this the one issue that you can really get to grips for them to do? >> there is absolutely bipartisan support. i chair the environment and public works committee that oversees a lot of this. i met with every member of the committee. they're committed to getting things done. you talk about getting things done quicker, we need to make it easier to make the permits easier to get the job done. president donald trump a excellent speech on friday, it is 10 years to get the permits. we need to shorten that dramatically. look the way they built the empire state building or pentagon less than two years. you can't even get permits to do that sort of work so there is a lot of work to be done. donald trump can do at lot. the president can do it with his pen as he has done it before,

regulation, getting rid offing arelations. people in wyoming are very happy with the things president trump has done to the move the economy ahead. we need to do more and infrastructure is a big part of it. stuart: real fast, senator, would you favor doing away with the filibuster entirely, so everything before the senate gets 51-vote massessage, would you do that, would you favor it? >> i was willing to do that with the supreme court. you asked the question should we do that on legislation? if they had done that, when president obama was in the white house, and nancy pelosi was speaker of the house and harry reid and harry reid was leader in the senate, what we would have now are higher taxes, we would have single-payer health care in this country and we have legalized sanctuary cities all across america. it was republicans slowing that down through use of the filibuster that prevented us as a country to have run amok. stuart: so the answer is no, keep the filibuster? okay. that is fair point. fair point.

senator, i'm so sorry i'm out of time. as usual it is a rapid-fire news day but thanks for joining us, senator. >> thanks for having me. stuart: yes, sir, thank you. uber facing some serious problems. a top executive planning to resign and the company's ceo may take a leave of absence. what more do we have on this, liz? liz: three-month leave of absence. what the board investigation found, it was led by former attorney general eric holder travis kalanick, had a lot of autonomy, a lot of independence, set a freewheeling, brash, looked like out of out of control culter. 250 sexual harrassment claims. think foiled government regulators from taking rides with uber. whether uber can reset and reboot, they face 68 potential valuation ipo. wall street is taking a close look at that that number could

come down. stuart: i suspect it would, thank you, lizzie. one, one winning ticket for the weekend powerball jackpot, it was sold in california. the grand prize? $447 million. got it. also ahead, we have the man hine the effort to get conservatives to move from california to texas. wouldn't that dilute the dozen or so conservatives who are still in california? i don't know. we have the man who is promoting that. he is on the show. one princeton physicist says global warming is rubbish. the earth is actually cooling. he is with us later this hour. oh, yes, you are watching the second hour of "varney & company." ♪

stuart: big news out of general electric. long-time ceo jeff immelt is

stepping down. the market likes it. gerri willis with more on what is going on. >> that's right, stuart. this company struggled with the winning wall street approval. he started out well enough. take a look at stock screens comparing their stock to what is going on with the broader markets, both s&p and dow. that company did well until about 2009. in the wake of that, the stock, well, it didn't do as well as the broader markets. stuart: when he took over the stock was about 40. when leaves it is under 30. >> i have to tell you they are under pressure from companies like triad fund management, look, you have to cut costs, you have to do better. two moves they made not liked by wall street. giving away nbc. that is the general take selling half of the company to comcast. they sold it way undermarket value. way under what they thought it should have been sold for. look at baker hughes.

that deal, the company expecting some kind of a big boom in oil prices. we've seen a gain but we're still not back through $100 a barrel. so real concern, real issues with this. i have to say, this has been a disappointment for wall street, what immelt has been able to do with this company over the last 16 years. stuart: then again i would not be wishing to take over a company which previously been run bit great jack welch. it would be different cut, wouldn't isn't. >> that would be difficult this is a 300 million-dollar market cap, it's a massive and huge company but where do you drive it in the technology area? what do you do for a living? what makes money? what makes sense? still struggling some ways to defined that. stuart: stuart: well-said, gerri, thank you. now this, our next guest he is helping conservative families move to conservative areas of the country especially texas. paul chabot, founder of

conservativemove.com. paul, i disapprove. how will you win, how will republicans ever win in place like california or new york state with all the conservatives move to texas where they're already winning? >> i think that would make quite difficulty, you're correct on that assumption. look, i'm a father. i have got four kids, ages nine, eight, seven, four. my wife and i were born and raised in california. 43 years. i was in the law enforcement, military. california is no longer same state we're raised in. crime is out of control, taxes, lack of good-paying jobs. illegal immigration is now a problem. we decided no longer a place to raise our family. this idea came as accident. at going away party, a lot of people asked us about moving to texas as well. we've been in texas five months. love it. great state to raise a family. we launched a business which is national model, helping families relocate from liberal areas into conservative areas of country

starting in north texas. stuart: tell me the response so far. give me the business response. how many customers have you signed up? >> yeah. stuart: if you're relocation service, how many families have you helped? >> over 1000 families have signed up. we've been in business for eight days. stuart: eight days. >> eight days. it has exploded on national level. so we're pleased but what it shows, stuart, what we want people to understand, not only are we a business, a capitalist idea, we get that. but we want people to have broader conversation about what makes up a good community, the safe community with conservative values. great schools, great jobs, low crime. those things don't exist in the liberal bastions of california wees caped from. stuart: so far you talked about california. are you encouraging people to move from new york or new jersey or connecticut or massachusetts for heaven's sake? i take it you favor a move from any blue state?

>> we absolutely will. we now have families from 40 different states looking at our corporation to help them, and i will say we'll be expanding beyond north texas into many other regions and states across this country. this was just a grass-roots local movement but exploded quickly. stuart: paul, real fast, do you find them a job? do you find them a home? >> that is critical. we have realtor on the back end, front end, conservative realtors on the knows regions well. we have links where people can find jobs. north texas is booming. tons of great-paying jobs out in this region. stuart: perhaps we should have the other way around, encouraging liberal folks to move to california? >> we would like to start a liberal move as well. stuart, maybe we can work on that together. stuart: i think you should. good business. paul, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. stuart: different. anti-sharia law protests in

several cities over the weekend. masked leftists clashed with them. the media played it all as an attack on islam. you won't believe this, but we'll deal with it in a moment.

stuart: the big story of this day on wall street is more technology stocks on the downside joining the big five also on the downside big time. look at that, netflix, adobe, twitter, yahoo!, all off percentage terms. twitter at 16. we have the share price of fedex. it is down just a fraction. earlier it touched $208 a share. that was an all-time high. we have an investment firm saying it will hit 216, backing off just a little at this moment.

now this, anti-sharia law rallies took place in two dozen cities across the country this weekend. counterdemonstrators called the rallies anti-islam, stopped them, basically, threw a few punches. tammy bruce is back with us. i'm astonished here. how is it that you can protest against the mutilation, general knit tall mutilation, you can protest against burning of homosexuals and subjugation of women and you're called a racist. >> american muslims don't want this dynamic into their cities. 100 girls in michigan. feds are making female genital mutilation, homosexuals thrown off buildings in middle east. no one wants that in the united states, certainly not american muslims. it is little ironic, they're effecting confirming this is something muslims want. that muslims should, many have been supporting this move to

make sure that that kind of, not even fundamentalists but this twisting of the religion in order to subjugate people we're seeing around the world this, is actually pro-muslim, certainly american-muslim, pro-women, everything the left supposedly says they stand for. stuart: they said it was anti-islam. almost uniformly, not anti-sharia law, no, anti-islam. >> there are many conservatives and trump supporters in the group. anything that might make the president look good they have to be against. this is problem where they're digging themselves a hole in this country. stuart: bringing violence into it. pretty extraordinary what is going on in this country. thanks very much indeed, tammy. serious stuff going on. >> sure is. stuart: sponsors pulling out of shakespeare in the park production of julius caesar. instead of caesar being stabbed a character who looked like president trump dies on stage. a great deal of blood. we're all over that story. president trump considering paying for the border wall with solar panels.

what say you? >> not sure if it encourages violence but certainly is, just a new low in a culture, in an entertainment world, stuart, feels free to do any vicious depiction of president trump. this makes kathy griffin look like a girl scout. this is repulsive idea to have this clearly trump-like character, stabbed to death in front of a american flag by a bunch of senators, call it art is perversion of shakespeare. stuart: what about the media? same thing is happening in the mood he yaw. i think that is the encouragement to violence. >> well you know, it is interesting, isn't it, one of the sponsors of this new york public theater of rendition of trump as caesar is "the new york times." i will be surprised if "new york times" follows lead of delta and bank of america, pulls its support. "new york times" extremely -- stuart: they are taking their time like cnn they fired the

host who tweeted obscenities about president trump following the terror attack in london. this is what he tweeted, this piece of, i'm not going to say it, you know what it is, this piece of is not just an embarassment to america but embarrassment to humankind. it took days to get rid of this guy. i think the establishment media is, police it in this contempt for our president which leads to violence. that is my premise. >> there is a lot of contempt, not in every single corner of the mainstream media but certainly in a lot. here cnn, which is, airs a lot of anti-trump commentary and even tilting against the president in reporting it took a week and seemed to put out this very mild statement,well, this was never appropriate and aztlan apologized. as pressure built, quietly on friday afternoon which is when the government tries to bury its bad news quietly, dumped the guy as host of one of the it is

shows. stuart: we've called the media on this i have been quite extreme about it frankly. has anybody else? >> well you know, when the kathy griffin thing happened there was a national wave of repulsion against her which pressured cnn into dropping her. this story about shakespeare in the park starting to get some traction. by and large there are some folks in the media that have outright disdain for president trump, that it doesn't strike them that this is a terrible thing. you know, again, you can disagree, you can challenge him personally, politically, professionally, but this sort of violent depictions can, calling him a piece of excrement and all of that is beyond the pale. have some minimum respect for the office. stuart: why do you think it is this group of people, i will call them the elites, this is true throughout the western world, utterly contemptuous of conservatives, free markets, capitalism and donald trump especially. why is that? >> i think those who fall into

this category are even more contemptuous of donald trump because he is not a establishment conservative, somebody who does things traditionally, even though they might disagree idealogically. there is built-in disdain for a guy who they don't think ever should have been president. they can't believe he is in president. they don't like the way he, sort of pugilistic style to the presidency. even if you're a commentator, there are lines of decency you shouldn't cross. zooms like one of these comes up every day, stuart. stuart: did you see it coming, howard, last question, i've got 30 seconds, did you see this coming? >> i thought there would be a lot of media opposition to donald trump. i did not believe there would be this level of viciousness and cultural disdain for the president, his family. it really has gone too far. i think those of us in the press need to recognize that. stuart: well-said. howard kurtz, thanks for joining thus morning.

that would look like that all the way along a vast solar panel display. >> the top would be the note voltaic energy gathering component and bottom is steel mesh, 30 feet in height, exceed department of sescations of homeland security and general services administration. stuart: you will produce all the electricity from the border wall, that is enough money to pay for it to be built and pay for it to operate? >> it won't pay for all of it but pay for substantial part. stuart: how much would it generate, how much electricity would it generate per year and how much would that be of value? >> we think it would generate two million megawatt hours per year. stuart: how much? i have no idea. >> let's take a look at the current market which is between 30 and $50. you're talking about $120 million that it could potentially generate. stuart: wait a minute. the thing costs a couple of billion to build? >> between 3 and 4 billion. but you would finance between bond financing. stuart: okay.

you guys, sustainable technologies, you would issue bonds and say, right, we're going to build the wall, buy a bond, contribute to building the wall, we'll pay you interest on the bond with the electricity funding? >> correct. stuart: that's it. >> guaranteed by the federal government that they will purchase our electricity. stuart: so the taxpayer has to guarranty they will purchase your juice at certain price? >> they have build it anyway, they have to pay for it. we think we can knock off between a one-third and half of the price. stuart: did you get to the president before he made that sort of semiannouncement thinking of solar panels. >> the rumor he saw us on fox business news, he saw our design and that he in fact started talking about it as a viable idea. i don't know that to be a fact but that is a rumor. stuart: has anybody from the administration contacted you? >> not as of yet. stuart: have you submitted your stein as a wall-builder? >> yes. we submitted our design, but we are getting the traditional push-back from the gsa wants to

do it traditional way, here is rfp. companies will build the wall if you pay for it. we want to build the wall and construct it in component parts in the rust belt, selleck tryst to the grids and southwest united states and mexico so mexico pace for part of the wall. stuart: would you agree your idea is a bit of a stretch? >> it is eminently doable especially with this president who challenged us all to think out of box. stuart: how much have you spent on the design? >> our investors put in couple hundred thousand of his own money. we'll generate interest from this show and other shows. stuart: one investor. >> yeah. stuart: kill will you tell me who that person is? >> dr. malcolm herzog a entrepreneur from city of chicago, illinois. stuart, fascinating stuff. you might want to come back talk to us a little more. >> i would love to. stuart: thank you, brad.

not warming? it is in fact cooling, that accurate, sir? >> no. i, you know, you can look at various data sets and you can see that the earth actually is warming very slightly, you know he. the surface base data show more warming than satellites but the warming is much, much less than the computer models have predicted. so that is the point. you know the way you tell the truth in science is not by voting on it. you compare your theory of how science works with observations and if the theory agrees with observations, it's, that is a good sign. may still not be right but at least not wrong on that basis. stuart: but you don't -- you don't very often get a public forum to state your case, and bill nye didn't want you on the program with him. >> well, that is pretty typical

of, you know, movements like this. they're quasi-religious, and like stating, you know, a religious heresy. stuart: i'm not a scientist. our audience is not necessarily a scientific audience, we're presented 97% of all the climate scientists believe the earth is warming and humans who are to blame. how do we respond? i mean, how do you respond to something like that when you say the science is in? what are we supposed to say? >> well, first thing you should do is check where that figure comes from. it is complete nonsense. the surveys have been discredited many times, but the second thing is, as i say, science is not determined by vote. you know, we're very proud at princeton of james madison who helped write the u.s. constitution and one of the

points he made in arguing for the constitution, i will read it for you, i have it right here, it says no man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause because his interests would certainly bias his judgment and not improbably corrupt his integrity. with equal, with nay, greater reason body of men are both unfit to be judges and parties at the same time. so the climate scientists they want toking judges and parties of the same time of their story. stuart: i got to tell you, professor, we don't often have princeton professors quoting the constitution on this program or any other but we would love it. we love it. i have to throw one more at you. president trump takes america out of the paris climate agreement. we got that. now the french are trying to hire u.s. climate scientists. perhaps those who see things their way. your reaction to that?

>> well, i'm an experimentalist. i think we should test it. so i hope some scientists will apply for a job in france. you know i'm willing to apply for one. i have some time now that i retired. writing a book. stuart: you wouldn't get the job, would you. you wouldn't get the job. >>? >> not likely. stuart: professor, william happer, princeton what a pleasure to have you on the show. you can quote the constitution any day you would like on this program. thanks very much, indeed, professor. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: see you again. we're keeping eye on various groups of stocks in particular the airlines at this moment. got red arrows across the board, all down, one, two, 3%. that is a big drop for airlines. maybe that has something to do with the price of oil which bounced back 1% today. here is the other big stock story, that is the continuing decline of those big-name technology companies. apple, amazon, facebook on your screens right now, all of them

down again with big drops on friday. more for you, alphabet, formerly known as google, microsoft, netflix, down again. again they follow big drops of friday last week. tech stocks under continuing pressure. next case, iran kills the terrorist behind last week's attack in tehran. liz: haven't revealed his name in mountainous region southern part of iran. five people were killed. they think mastermind behind that attack killed 17 in iran. it was an assault on parliament and also on the ayatollah's gravesite. in possession they found weapons, explosives and isis flag. so the fear is, iranian kurds could be hooking up with isis to infiltrate iran. stuart: got it, thanks, liz. president trump will hold his first full cabinet meeting in the next hour. we expect the president to say something at the top of the meeting we'll bring it to you when it happens. this is the second hour of "varney & company." your insurance company

combinations. stuart: cheap, cheap, 300,000. >> that's right. stuart: nix one, the 1976 apple one computer. >> yes. stuart: you can't reach over, but does it work? >> it does, it works. it was purchased in 19, by the present owner in 1978. it was expanded to 12-k. originally had 4-k ram. it plays chess. it is a wonderful little thing. stuart: but, who would buy that and why? >> we have, ever since the computer revolution has brought about many, many tech billionaires, they love this this is the birth of the home computing age, this brought everything we have today. ♪

stuart: the big money story that we focused on for the last 18

months is the rise of the fabulous five as we call them. big american technology companies whose stock prices have literally gone through the roof. to put it mildly, they have come off of those highs. most people who have any investment in the market have a piece of this action. those people are clearly and reliably and righteously anxious. while, this is now, amazon, apple, facebook and microsoft all of them down this morning. we don't predict the market, we leave that to the people that are paid to predict the market. but for what it is worth, that's my opinion. they're in these tech stocks for the long-term, most of them, i think, will stay in waiting things out. they have made big gains, they don't want to pay the tax if they sell. then there are traders, these are the people that buy and sell

by the minute, if not by the second. they have probably been doing some selling but will be eager to buy back in to catch any rebound. bottom line, this is very different from the.com bubble. the success of the fabulous five is based on real profits and real growth and the prospects are much more to come. countless dot coms went belly up. the fear that happening again is live and well and keeps things in check. it's a dip and not a bust. in a few minutesly ask someone with actual skin in the game if he agrees with that assessment. the third hour of varney&company is about to begin.

♪ ♪ ♪ >> yes, we are all about money in this program and we will get to money but i want to take a look at the white house where president trump is holding full cabinet meeting. we will bring you any headlines from that meeting. we expect the president to say something on camera. we will, of course, bring you that immediately as we get hold of it. check the big board. dow industrials down 30 minutes, most of it is caused by the big-name technologies companies which are way down again. look at that, we have apple, amazon and microsoft down percentage points. google's parent company microsoft and netflix, all of them are down as well, all of

them coming back a fraction from the losses of maybe five, ten minutes ago. is there this a repeat of the dot com selloff or what is it? >> the the answer to the second question, this is where the growth is happening and this is where the growth will happen. >> stuart: our viewers are investors, many of them, all have a small piece, they have a piece of this action, ul not advice panic selling at this point, correct, keith? >> i wouldn't advice panic selling. it's a different thing if you

need the money but buy and must be. buy and manage, you go where the companies are. the world needs what they produce. that to me says you know what, you bite your tongue and wait in. stuart: dagen stockman, former reagan budget director says the s&p 500 could be in 35% selloff and also says wall street is not rational right now. >> people have been make those predictions since the dawn of time, stuart, particularly the perma bears. you have to take that with a huge grain of salt, if you're

managing what we just talked about, we are going to be just fine. panic is not what you want to do. you have to look carefully. a lot of these guys talk their own book, this is a lot of what's driving the sales. goldman came out and said these things are overvalued. some element was probably short before they released report. >> i have to ask you general electric, long-time ceo immelt will step down. flannery will take his place, shares up on that news. now, would you step in and buy some ge now at 28, $29 a share bearing in mind that under immelt stock has gone from 40 to under 30.

>> it's very attempting but the reason i wouldn't step in, stuart, i don't think the company know what is it wants to be when it grows up. under josh welsh you knew what it was going to be. stuart: thanks for holding everyone's hand through maybe a panic period. we appreciate it. keith, everyone. some liberals are leading a violent opposition to president trump. that's causing tension in the democrat party. fox news contributor mercedes schlapp joins us now. i think it's producing element of violence. i say enough is enough, what say, mercedes?

all the celebrities in hollywood who obviously the american public are watching and they're seeing them take on this role that goes almost beyond -- it takes a resistance movement to the next level which is clearly to the point of indicating, planting seeds of violence. we saw maxine waters in event in california and you saw what griffin did with her photo or image. we saw the case in new york where you had this play where you they were pretending to as is nate donald -- assassinate donald trump. i think it's something that the democratic party need to be careful that they don't produce this environment where the resistance movement gets to appoint that it leads individuals, part of their base to say, you know what, what if you do perform a violent act against the president and move forward on something like that?

>> what about kristin, democrat senator from new york which over the weekend speaking to a college audience used the f-record and followed it up by saying, that's okay, because i know this is a young audience. i just get the feeling that middle-america, average america is about done with this. it does not like it. >> i had a friend how difficult it is from individuals not graduating from college that is the messages from democrats is dark and negative and antiamerican because their whole focus is to be so highly critical of the president and you also saw the dnc tom pérez use the f-word and simply like they cannot control their temper and anger and i really think that the american voters are going to read -- see through them and basically realize that

if they go in this resistance movement where there's no solution to policy and no willingness to work with republicans and the president, i think it's going to be very hurtful for the party if all they focus on is justenergizing their liberal base by saying the resistance movement is the only way to go. stuart: one big move from the president on taxes would clear the air and hear a lot less from this stuff from the left. 20 seconds, do you agree with me? >> i do agree with you. i don't think it's not just about talking about tax reform but finding a solution for obamacare. you know, i really believe it's talking about jobs. this week is about workforce development, apprenticeship, all he needs to focus on, primary focus is to bringing jobs to the communities. if he stays on the economic message which he did during the campaign it could be a winning message come midterm elections.

stuart: the economy is doing quite well and will do better if we get a tax cut. much appreciated. james comey told smat intelligence committee that the fbi lied. the president is right, listen what he said on the program a month ago. >> how would you describe fbi morale at this point? >> i guess it's going to be a lot better because they really were starved for leadership. d. at wells fargo, it's our expertise in finding this kind of insight that has lead us to become one of the largest investment and wealth management firms in the country. discover how we can help find your unlock.

i did active duty 11 years.my in july of '98. and two in the reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. it actually helped to know that somebody else cared and wanted make sure that i was okay. that was really great. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. call today to talk about your insurance needs.

>> although the law required no reason at all to fire an fbi director. the administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader, those were lies

plain and simple. stuart: that was the headline from the comey hearing, the president lied. let's backtrack a little. president trump said that morale of the fbi was low, comey then said that is a lie, let's bring in someone who knows what he's talking about on this, former fbi assistant director james. was it a lie? >> i don't think it was a lie. i think he disgraced hymn. his actions disgraced himself. when he had that -- that referral come over and say you can't call it an investigation and by the way you can't have a grand jury, that's the day he should have stood up for the american people and resigned. and tell people and he didn't and danced with the devil and

kept danced with the devil and the muis stopped on that day when he had the press release in which he was so far out of bounce and far beyond the rules and ended up with a ridiculous statement that hillary clinton could not -- had no intent because she didn't know what was going on. that's just a pathetic answer that really infuriated the agents. stuart: would you hold on for a second. i have breaking news and this concerns the testimony of attorney general william jeff sessions. liz, what do we have on this? liz: he's going to testify before senate intelligence offered to do that before intelligence committee and he was going to testify in front of appropriations committee. now he wants to possibly rebud james comey testimony last week about the nature of that meeting between james comey and the president and also james comey raised the issue that possibly there could have been a third undisclosed meeting between jeff sessions and the russian embassador.

we are going to watch to see if jeff sessions rebuts that and senate intel accepts open-session testimony. stuart: that's important. the public can watch on television? liz: 2:30 eastern time tomorrow. stuart: that's very important. one more for james kallstrom. it was comey felt queasy when lynch told him to call the investigation a matter and not a criminal investigation. listen to what dianne feinstein had to say about that. >> i would have a queasy feeling too, though, to be candid with you. i think we need to know more about that and there's only one way to know about it and that's have the judiciary committee take a look at that. stuart: let me put this in context.

the highest law enforcement official in the land tells the director of the fbi, that's not a criminal investigation, you refer today that as a matter. that i believe, is political interference in the fbi's business and they have no right to do that and you say what? >> i counteragree more. strange guy with this great education and zero common sense in my view. it's just weak. he's just a weak person. he's getting queasy because somebody hands him, you know, a grenade and hi accepts. you know, he accepts it from her without being furious that he's not representing the people of the country just like when he shut down the investigation into the clinton foundation. did he write a memo then, i don't think so. stuart: should the president of the united states hold a one-on-one meeting with the fbi director and hint to him that maybe b drop that investigation, walk away from it, move on from it, the president shouldn't have have held the meeting in the

first place, should he? >> i would have had liked to have someone nels the room with him and talk about these things. i don't think he went over the top. this guy was a war hero, this general, i mean, did he make a mistake, yes, but there wasn't even a criminal investigation. it was a counterintelligence investigation s. this guy going ruined for life, i don't know why he didn't tell the truth to the vice president, it's kind of crazy. i don't think the president went over the line. i think comey -- he went over the line and he's playing political cards that we are finding out now he's been playing for a long, long time. stuart: james, always a pleasure to know somebody who knows what they are talking about from h years experience. and you've got it, thank you, sir. >> thank you, sir. stuart: all right, right now president trump is holding first full cabinet meeting, we will bring you headlines of that meeting as soon as they come in. big night for pittsburgh penguins.

>> the american dream is back and no where is that more clear than the grand canyon from arizona, we headed from the strip to the desert to explore the new landscape and live the american dream. stuart: well, i'm living the american dream so we figure we show that had clip there from the new season of the property man which adds on fox business. host is bob macy and joins us on

the program. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: mortgage applications for new homes are 7-year high. mortgage rates below 4%. housing sales, pretty strong. home prices on the upside. all of this good news and yet i am told that home ownership at the lowest level in 50 years. do you want to explain this? >> very complicated picture. i read this report that it's several years of explaining and a lot of different issues. first of all, you credit worthiness issue, people who lost homes have good credit but the question is what are their credit worth, what are their wages, amount of loans that they have that they still have to pay for credit card debt. things like that. you have millennials dealing with student loans and an site you from all the foreclosures and fines and penalties many of them paid. there's a complicated picture as a result of what we went through

in the last ten years. stuart: so we need some impetus, stimulus for people to go and buy those homes. how about this? supposing they got rid of some aspects of dodd-frank so that people like myself and our production team, we don't have to jump through hoops to get the mortgage, how about that? >> deregulation i think is good. i'm concerned that we don't go too far which i'm not suggesting suggesting that you feel that either that we allow lenders to police themselves again. i have concerns that if we go too far, we know that developers are complaining, stuart, that there's still too many regulations, too long to get permits which the president has talked about basically cutting back, if you loosen some of those things up, yes, i'm very concerned for our young people. young people particularly 30's to 40's right now who want to own and tired of renting, they have a family, they want to have home ownership and the american dream is tough for millennials because of all the issues that

we are talking about. >> stuart: do you think millennials, youngsters will get back to the time when i was at that age where my dream, hope was to get a home on that own. that put me in the american dream, when are we going to get back to that feeling amongst our youngsters? >> well, listen there's a couple things about that. i remember that i rented for many years before i had the money to buy. there's a length of time oh the young people that feel that they should own too soon at an early anal but saying that they should have the desire to own again, but do i think that these lenders are so paranoid still they will not lend unless they feel their buyer perspectively is going to meet obligation which is a good thing but at the same time the kids need a future and know that they have a stability and they can own and obviously we are going to have to wait and see what the president does and some of the things we are talking about are important issues for these kids to look at. stuart: i feel we are in the cusp of a real buying binge but

it's not quite there. congratulations on the new show. supreme court expect today issue an order on president trump's so-called travel ban maybe this week. opponents have until 3:00 p.m. eastern today to file a response with the supreme court. all rise judge andrew napolitano. so we are probably not going to get a ruling this week? >> i don't think so. i don't think after the ninth circuit. the supreme court doesn't like to rule on something while the similar issue is pending in the court below. two lawsuits, one in maryland, one in hawaii. each making their way up. they both get to appellate

stage. you like what i'm doing with my hands? tomorrow it's the deadline for submission of documents, june is the busiest month of the year for the supreme court. they do not want another case on the october. they'll decide whether or not to take this one. stuart: far more important than that attorney general jeff sessions, he's going to testify in open session tomorrow, the senate intelligence committee, i believe, is doing the interviewing. we can all watch it 2:30 in the afternoon. what's the significance? >> i think the significance is profound and potentially very dangerous for general sessions. i will tell you about the danger in a minute. over the weekend heavy duty negotiations went on from the department of justice, independence counsel mueller about parameters, presumably there's some agreement. they are not going to tell us what parameters are. if some senator asks a question,

the chair will rule. here is the danger for general sessions, he's not testifying as the attorney general in charge of these investigations, he's testifying as a witness in the investigations. stuart: what's the difference? >> he has a terrible dilemma because an answer for him as a witness might harm his boss. he has to choose am i here to defend the president of united states who appointed me or am i here to defend jeff sessions, he will be accused from perjury, for this to happen in a public forum while he's a witness is very dangerous but he's apparently willing to take that chance. stuart: dangerous for general sessions but more dangerous for president trump? >> jeff sessions will face with the choice of how do i answer it, do i answer it to protect the president or do i answer this to protect my own legacy, my own tenure as attorney

general, my own status as a lawyer with license to practice law because he will be accused of things that would jeopardize all of those. he will be accused of perjury, lying to the senate judiciary committee about not telling him first and second and now a third meeting with sergey kislyak. that will be the allegation against him. stuart: it'll be very important, key television, we must take a look at everything that happens tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. >> i love those hand motions. [laughter] stuart: one more for you, two more questions. first of all, the attorney general of washington, d.c. and maryland are plan to go sue the president on the grounds that he violated the constitution by acceptance foreign money at trump hotels since taking office. >> a he hasn't done that, he doesn't own those hotels personally. he owns shares of stock in a

corporation that owns them and operates them. he's receiving dividends on the stock. stuart: so this is nonsense? >> correct, this is a political lawsuit because in order to file a case in federal court, they would have to show that the state of maryland and the district of colombia were somehow harmed by this and they can't show. tossed as soon as it's filed. stuart: one more. [laughter] liz: you're looking more american by the day. >> because of jeremy corbyn. [laughter] stuart: officials arrested

19-year-old ebbing -- ecuadorian. seems to be a dreamer. >> this is the type of target that president obama prohibited them from going after and that president trump said, we are really not after this type of person, he's been here -- he's as american as apple pie and just wasn't born here but fully americanized. i don't know if this was a mistake but it's going to become a big deal because they arrested him in front of students and faculty at or right before the senior prom. they could have been more delicate about it. i don't know where it's going to go. is he here illegally, is he here of his own volition, absolutely not. stuart: the circumstances are bad news. >> they are. i'm sure if the president of the united states, secretary kelly knew of this, the boy would not have been arrested.

this was either a miscommunication, overzealous prosecution which could be startling to us. stuart: can the president step in and release, we are sorry? >> yes, this is an area where the president can absolutely say, i don't want that kid deported. stuart: you think he should? >> yes, dreamers like this, children born here as infants fully americanized could happily become productive and happy members of society and shouldn't be involved in the misbehavior of their parents 18 years ago. stuart: judge -- >> on this we agree? stuart: i want to thank you very much, indeed, judge. i want to run a sound bite from democrat senator, this was over a weekend. >> are you going to bleep anything? stuart: we are going to bleep it. just watch this, please. >> as -- has he kept any of the promises?

no. [laughter] >> instead -- [applause] >> sorry. understand that this is a younger audience, it's okay. fun mentally if we are not helping people, we should go -- stuart: you know, she says, look, i understand this is a young audience so that's okay. come on. this >> this shows so much on bitterness resisting the president. look at the awful things going on, assassination right here in central park. this is all part of the same cultural which knows no limits in its opposition to this man as the president of the united states. it won't confine its limits to political opposition. stuart: judge, i'm glad that you got to comment on that because i'm appalled by it. liz, i know -- liz: yeah, should be the direct opposite, you do not swear in front of anybody specially millennials. you're supposed to be an example. stuart: i believe that we have

fox news chris with us now and chris, i'm pretty sure you saw the sound bite there from the democrat new york senator. look, i'm appalled by it quite frankly, this kind of treatment of our president is a very dangerous thing. sorry, chris. i know you're going to respond, president trump is just on tape now, i just want to listen to the president for a moment, please. >> good morning. we have much great news to share with the american people today. as we continue to delivery on our promises. due to a record-long delay and confirmation and the con fir mags -- confirmation senate democrats which i call the obstructionists, maybe they will change, but they are truly obstructionists, this is the

first cabinet meeting with the entire cabinet present. the confirmation process has been record-setting long. i mean, record-setting long with some of the finest people in the country being delayed and delayed and delayed. but that's much of that is over and now we are going through the regular process with people of other levels of government and that's a very long process including ethics committee which has become very difficult to deal with. all of that being said, we now have our cabinet finally approved and i want to welcome secretary of agriculture sunny perdue, secretary of labor alex acosta. director of nationaliel coats. and your representative robert,

incredible talented group of people in this room, generals, governors, congressmen, entrepreneurs, businessmen and many others, i chose each person at this table but i not only chose them because of remarkable experience and success but because they've all united by one share goal and what they want to do is one very simple but very beautiful goal, serving and defending our beloved nation. together we are working every day and we've been working very hard together for our country to protect safety and bringing back jobs into the country and putting always america first and when i ran it was make america great again and that's what we are doing it and we are doing it as a much faster pace than anyone thought. i will say that never has there been a president with few exceptions, in the case of fdr,

he had a major depression to handle who has passed more legislation, who has done more things than what we have done, many bills, 34 bills in congress signed, supreme court justice who is going to be a great one and be a great supreme court justice and many other things we've achieved tremendous success and i think we have been as active as you can possibly be at a just about record setting pace. and we are achieving these goals by eliminating the job-killing regulations, unlocking american energy, rebuilding our military, pursuing fair and reciprocal trade deals, achieving massive reductions in illegal immigration, transforming the department of veterans affairs and building a new partnership among nations to defeat terrorism. in just a very short time, we

are seeing amazing results and, in fact, there are a couple of major stories today in the newspapers about miners opening and going back to work, actually pretty big stories. people are surprised and more small businesses are planning to hire than at any point in the decade. last month unemployment felt to lowest point in 16 years. i recently returned from a trip overseas that included deals for more than $350 billion worth of military and economic investment in the united states. these deals will bring many thousands of jobs to our country and, in fact, will bring millions of jobs ultimately and help saudi arabia take a greater role in providing stability and security in that region. one of the big things that we did and you're seeing it now with qatar and all of the things that are actually going on in the very positive fashion, we

are stopping the funding of terrorism. they are going to stop the funding of terrorism and it's not an easy fight but that's a fight we are going to win. we are going to staffer -- starve the beast, believe me. the house passed a bill, the senate has it right now, mitch mcconnell is working very, very hard as are the republican senators. we will have zero backing from the democrats even though they should get in and do something but we expect to get zero. if we had the greatest bill in the history of the world on health care, we wouldn't get one vote from the democrats because they are obstructionists, that's what they want to do, that's the game, they think that's their best political game, they are looking to '18, so far we've had two races and we spent both of

the races, they have spent millions of dollars and we have another coming up and we have been doing very well but they are obstructionists and that's sad, but we are coming up with something that i believe will be very good with zero support from the obstructionist democrats, sad. secretary mnuchin is helping us put together one to have biggest tax cuts, may be the biggest single tax cut in american history and that also includes a great deal of tax reform, simplification and other things. director mulvaney has led reference to introducing new budget that cuts wasteful washington spending and protects the taxpayer and that will come out and believe me, we will take care to have people that we have to take care of. so that's a first step, but we will be taking care of the people that have to be taken care of on the human basis that's very, very important.

today we are going the hear from secretary tillerson and secretary mattis on the ways that we are combating isis and defeating terrorism. we've had tremendous success against isis and fight in the middle east where we are doing very, very well. we are going to have a news conference in two weeks on that fight and you will see numbers that you would have not believed and if you look back to six months you wouldn't have believed it was possible. secretary will give us update on tremendous work to make sure that our veterans are finally giving the care they deserve, one of the most important things in the campaign trail. we have also been strongly purring for -- pushing for the va act and if they fail, if passed the senate and the house, it's tomorrow.

we have a big vote, david, and i think we are going to be in good shape. that's something that's going to be great for our veat reins. we-- veterans. we will also hear from secretary acosta. expanding apprenticeships an getting people back to work. we have the lowest number in terms of unemployment in many, many years, at the same time i've always argued with that number because it doesn't take into account millions and millions of people that have given up looking for jobs and we will be doing something about that and we will get people back to work and it's already starting in ohio and it's starting in pennsylvania and north carolina, south carolina and florida. you see numbers and they're starting. i call them the forgotten men and women but they're not going to be forgetten much longer, believe me. there are millions of good jobs that lead to great careers, jobs do that's do not require a

four-year degree or massive debt that often comes with those four-year degrees or even two-year degrees, these require advanced skills and technical training, apprenticeship, a very good word from the trump standpoint, apprentice, apprenticeships are going to be a big, big factor in our country. people with tremendous talent, maybe a mechanical talent, maybe fixing motor. we will help get the young people the technical training that they need to pursue really exciting careers and careers that they can make good money, they can really eastern great, great salary and maybe even open small businesses. if everyone in this room continues to do their jobs, then we can restore american

prosperity and make millions and millions of dollars and we can make for these people and the american dream come true, make the american dream come true for a lot of people that will not have had that experience without the election results that we had in november 8th. so we are here to change washington, return power to the people, we are here to give people a great shot at a great, great job and even opening small businesses and employing other people. i look forward to hearing all of the reports from the different people in the room today. we have done as u -- about as much despite tremendous opposition from the other side, we have done something that's very special and you see it in the economic numbers because the

economic numbers have been incredible. one just came out, almost $4 trillion in work has been created in the stock markets of our country. just take a look at that. 700,000 jobs have been created in a short period of time since the election. 700,000 jobs, if we would have said that on november 8th, nobody would have believed the numbers. if we would have said that almost $4 trillion in the stock markets has been created, everybody would have laughed at us and said that's ridiculous. that's what it is. so we are very proud of it. we have a phenomenal team of people, a great group of talent and we are really now seeing the early fruits of vary labor, some of them won't be able to kick in because statutorily you have to wait, we will be having some

major legislation very soon the dumping of steel in our country which is absolutely killing our workers at our steel company, we are going to be having some very major legislation on the dumping of aluminum and various other things into our country which is killing our workers. we will be announcing that very soon. so i think what we will do, most of you know most of the people around the room but i will start with our vice president, where is our vice president? [laughter] >> there he is. maybe start with mike and go around and you name your position and then we will ask these folks to go back and have a good day and we are going to discuss our various reports, mike. >> thank you, mr. president. and just greatest privilege of my life is to serve a vice president to a president that's keeping the word to the american people and assembling a team that's bringing real change and real prosperity and real
