>> steve brought up something incredibly intelligent. this refrigerator is $60, and you own it. >> i can't tell you how many times every one of my kids when they went through college once a year, the school would rent them this for about 150 bucks for the year. >> you save money in a dorm. this is for a college kid, all their sodas, their snacks and stuff. you spend 60 bucks one time. they're going to the grocery store, not the vending machines on campus. now, we take you to the microsoft surface tablet. this is the thing that apple said you can't come close to doing what we do. guess what? they did. the surface is really -- this is the third generation tablet from microsoft. it's really great. i like the surface 3. i really do. i thought this product was nothing until they reached this level. however, you're now spending $500 to get this top level
3:55 am
surface. >> about $150 more than the standard apple? >> around the standard price of the apple. >> if you want your studying done, these are bose quiet -- >> can you hear them? >> a little pricey. i use these when i travel. >> you have to turn them in. >> these are quietcomfort 25s. >> you need them for school? >> what's great, it tunes out everything at home. >> a noise zee roommate. >> or you're studying at home, younger, you need to opportunity out. this will do it. and these are great. printers have come down in price. this is an hp all in one scanner everything. you're not going to spend a lot of money.

good morning. today is monday, the 24th of all. 2015. i'm anna kooiman in for elizabeth hasselbeck. the heroes who took down the terrorist in france receiving the nation's highest honor and telling the whole world how it happened. >> intentions were pretty clear. >> ready to fight to the end. so were we. >> and they all lived. but this morning, a twist. the would-be terrorist says it's all one big misunderstanding. >> of course. the markets are plunging even more this morning and guaranteed to hit your home from your 401(k) to the price you pay at the pump. today everything could change. maria bartiroma joins us live.
4:01 am
speaking of live, does donald trump feel threatened by jeb bush. >> you know what's happening to jeb's crowd, as you know, right down the street? they're sleeping. they're sleeping now. >> but today that could change. the bush campaign shaking up its strategy in a direct threat to donald trump. donald trump himself joins us in about 30 minutes. >> live from new york city, this is "fox and friends." >> here we go. let's not waste a second. let's go with an alert. awarded for their courage. the three americans who took down a gunman on a paris train on friday packed with people receiving france's highest honor. that just happened a short time ago in parents. the gunman's lawyer said don't call this a terror attack, he
4:02 am
was just trying to rob them. >> our kitty logan is live in london with more. good morning. >> reporter: i think you can see in this ceremony how significant the french authorities believe the actions of these men to be. the incident happened just last friday. first thing monday morning french president francois hollande is handing out the legion honor, three americans, one british man involved. this is the highest award in france. he praised the men for their courage when they tackled a heavily armed gunman who opened fire on a busy train. he said the actions of these men avoided what he described as carnage. the men say they believe it's important to get involved in situations like this. they fought the gunman. they restrained him until police arrived. that gunman is being named as 26-year-old moroccan ayoub el khazzani. authorities in belgium and spain are also investigating. his lawyer said on sunday that his client only planned to rob
4:03 am
the train, and also the gunman's father has been speaking out today saying he doesn't think he son could be a terrorist. french authorities can hold el khazzani, the gunman, until tuesday when they must charge him or free him. nobody knows what could have happened had the three men not stepped in. certainly the french government believes they saved many lives. also, there are questions raised about how this gunman was able to board the train with so many weapons given that he was known to authorities. >> kitty, thank you very much for the live report. that's right. he had an ak-47. he had a pistol. he had a box cutter and nine magazines of ammo. so how many rounds of ammo do you need to simply rob a train? that alibi is preposterous. >> you had spencer stone, anthony sadler and alex score dal liss, the national guardsman from afghanistan. he's the specialist. they all rose up and they all did something when they saw this
4:04 am
gunman click his ak-47. they said thank goodness he didn't seem to have weapons training or it would have been a different story. i think one of the best statements came from sadler. he said my advice would be to do something, hiding or sitting back is not going to accomplish anything and the gunman would have been successful if my friend spencer had not gotten up and, in my words, they didn't follow. it seems as though the front lines are the door next door, the train, the street. there is no battle lines. these three guys are childhood friends. anthony sadler, the one you just mentioned, actually is the only one of the three who is not saer vis member. >> he goes to sacramento state. >> he's a senior there. >> if you want to hear how it all broke down by the man of the three who they say is the biggest hero. airman first class spencer stone say this is is how it all went down. >> woke up from the middle of
4:05 am
the deep sleep and i turned around and saw he had what looked to be an ak-47 and looked like it was jammed and wasn't working and he was trying to charge the weapon. and alek hit me on the shoulder and said let's go. we ran down, tackled him. alek put him to the ground while i put him in a choke hold. he pulled more weapons left and right. pulled a handgun. alek took that. he took out a box cutter, started stabbing me with that. we let go. all three of us started punching him. i was able to grab him again and choke him unconscious while alek was hitting him in the head with the pistol or rifle. i can't really remember. it feels very unreal. feels like a dream. i don't really know what to say. >> i trust both my friends very much. if it wasn't for them, i would have been dead.
4:06 am
we all had a critical role in whatever happened, and everyone else that helped. the conductor, the guy at the bathroom. everyone played their own part. he seemed like he was ready to fight to the end. so were we. >> that's right. here many this country, more than 150 yards from the new york city subway there are big signs that say "see something, say something." had they just said something, a lot of those people could be dead. they saw something. they did something because they say it was either do something or die. of course, rail security not quite the same standard as air security. it's gotten better in this country since september 11. but bill daily, former fbi guy who was on the show said still a ways to go. >> security has increased since 9/11. however, it's still very porous
4:07 am
just by nature of what we do. we need to move hundreds and thousands of people each day all around major metropolitan cities. to do some type of airport-type security is really not very practical and probably impossible. if somebody wanted to get onto a train and open up with a weapon, there's nothing really much stopping them. >> i get on the railroad almost every day. i don't see much law enforce: more credit to spencer stone. he saved a french american's live. because of his first aid training, he was able to stop the bleeding and kept him alive. >> spencer stone is the one with the sling on his arm, injured eye, jabbed in the neck multiple times with a box cutter. he's the one still that helped to save that guy. >> the crazy thing is the gunman who said he was out to rob people, he was on a watch list in three different countries.
4:08 am
he goes and buys a ticket in his name, and that doesn't set off a warning on the dashboard, at interpol or something? why have a watch list if you're not actually watching the people on the list. >> he was in syria for a while. >> all right. >> right now let's bring in maria bartiroma host of "mornings with maria" simulcasting right now. maria, on friday, a wild ride in the united states. it has been a wild ride overnight in asia. now it looks like wall veet is heading straight into the dumper again. >> we're having a debate this morning on whether or not, even though we'll see a sharp decline at the open, if that's going to be the case at the close. it started because of worries over china, the chinese economy for the longest time was the jewel of the world. that's where the growth in the world was. now yes see the reality of it is is we've gone from an economy
4:09 am
growing 11% at the peak all the way down to 6% or 5%. the numbers are debatable. but that's the crux of the problem. then, of course, there's all this intervention by the chinese government, communist country there. not to mention a federal reserve meeting next month and there's a debate on whether this economy in the u.s. is strong enough to warrant higher interest rates. john hill ten rath is here and you're not sure if the fed will be able to raise rates? >> part of what's going on overseas. the u.s. economy is doing a bit better. we're kind of like the tortoise in this global race for growth. we're cranking out slow, steady, 2% growth. not exciting for anybody. but compared to china we're leading the race. >> the debate is whether or not this economy is, in fact, that strong. the employment numbers are pretty good. we've got a gdp report guys this week out on wednesday.
4:10 am
we'll see -- or thursday. we'll see if that shows -- >> maria, the question is, let's say china doesn't come back. let's say corruption and communism combines to bring them down. what can we do? be hess dependent in the long run. but in the short run, do we have a chip to play? >> at this point the u.s. has been the strength of the world. that's where you're seeing the growth in terms of stability certainly. so i think the u.s. has to continue to see a strengthening economy. we'll see if the federal reserve raising rates takes a crimpof t recovery in jeopardy. >> we do have a chip, brian. the chip is called fiscal policy and cutting taxes. >> that would be good. >> that would be real good. what you don't have is a president willing to do that. you inaction because of a divided government. if you get one party running -- if you get the republicans running, you'll get tax reform, a rollback of regulations. if you look at larry summers op ed in the "financial times,"
4:11 am
he's the architect of some of this nonsense going on. he talks about too much regulation, regulation holding back the economy. >> of the financial system. >> of the financial system. that's the problem. >> you asked for the catalyst. it could be the election. the catalyst could be the election, the indication we'll get new leadership. >> the other chip that's important, the chip that china is playing a weaker currency for them and a stronger currency for us. they might come out of this turmoil and try to sell even more of their cheap stuff to the united states. >> you know what trump said last week? he said, look, if china keeps devaluing its currency, when i'm in the oval office, i'll put heavy tariffs on chinese goods. >> maria, donald trump is going to be with us on this program in 20 minutes. we'll ask about that. >> fantastic. >> thank you very much. >> tell him to stop picking on
4:12 am
hedge fund managers. >> pay your fair share. that's what he would say. >> great to talk to you. thanks so much. good economic news. since oil is down, gas prices could be down to $2.00 a gallon by christmas. at 12 minutes after the hour, we'll go to ainsley. do you have anything for us? >> i'll start with a breaking fox news alert. a louisiana state trooper is shot in the head and fighting for his life this morning. please remember this guy in your thoughts and prayers today. 43-year-old master trooper stephen vincent was attacked responding to a suspected impaired driver. parents say he got out of his car and shot the trooper with a sawed off shotgun. >> you're lucky, you're lucky. that's the words that came out of his mouth.
4:13 am
>> several drives stopped to help and captured dagal. he faces attempted murder charges. this morning vincent is in critical condition with severe brain damage. a nasty crash at pocono racew raceway. >> that's a hard hit right there. >> all by himself. >> driver justin wilson hit by a large piece of depre which broke off another driver's car. it hit wilson and flew into the air. wilson was swarmed by emergency crews and airlifted by a helicopter. he's now in a coma. take a look, you might not see this again. stunning final photos from one of saturn's moons. na nasa's spacecraft made a final pass of the system flying by the moon. the planet has a whopping 62 moons. those are your headlines. >> that is cool. >> much rounder than i thought. >> they're pretty round. coming up on this monday,

what happened on friday. thee americans hailed as heroes after taking down an armed terrorist on a train from amsterdam to paris and europe. does this prove american military personnel are the best equipped to stop terrorists in their attack. they got help from a brit and a frenchman. shawn has been awarded two bronze stars and a purple heart. captain parnell, if you're not a captain, how do we get that type of action in that similar type of situation from ourselves? >> you have to be aware of your surroundings. take your face out of your phone. if you're on a train or subway, take a look around. we live in the age of terrorism. if you see something, you can't just afford to say something. you have to take action and do something. that's exactly what these three american heroes did on this train. >> you see how one was woken up, hear it is click an runs towards the rifle. however, it seems as though the
4:19 am
conductors ran and hid. wrong response. also, some were inspired to help out when they saw the americans move. where do you get the leadership in a situation like that to take action rather than sit back, to be more like flight 93 and not a victim? >> that's exactly right. i think as americans we have that in us. when i was watching this story unfold, i couldn't help but think of 9/11, thinking of those new yorkers running into a fire to save people they didn't know. couldn't help to think of flight 93 and that "let's roll" moment. these three american heroes on that train are no different. they ran to the sound of gunfire to thwart an attack. you're trained to do that kind of stuff in the military, trained to take action. god help us all if we find ourselves in a situation like that. if they don't take action, they die. >> is it also something you can do as a civilian now is start visualizing different scenarios and start visualizing yourself taking action and not sitting back, not cowering in fear, but
4:20 am
moving forward. does that help? >> it absolutely helps. i think we have to do that. there's -- we can't just afford to say things anymore. you've got to visualize yourself taking action to stop an attack. we don't have a choice anymore. we live in an age of terrorism where american citizens have to stand up and fight back. we're in the middle of a war. even if we don't think we're in a war, our enemy does, and that means we're at war right now. like you said earlier, there's no front lines. the war is all around us, an asymmetric fight and we have to take a stand and fight back. the best way to do that is step up and take ak sthun. >> remember we had two military guys. but anthony sadler is a sacramento state student. they all acted the same way. great american stories and extremely proud. thanks for joining us, sean. for everything you've done for the country and your wisdom today. >> thanks, brian. always a pleasure being here. chuck e. cheese takes its no guns policy too far, refusing to

4:29 am
>> exactly. it's better to have a little awkwardness than regret it for a lifetime. >> don't you think that gets you more respect? >> absolutely. >> sadie, at your age, being that your life is from reality star to "dancing with the stars," do you want to be an actress, go to hollywood? >> i don't know. you see everything that's happened so far has been so god given, i haven't planned anything. i'll just keep going, and trusting in the lord. >> always our best to have you on the couch. give your best to the whole family. >> i will. thank you. >> i want to check your dad's license. he's marrying people. coming up, jeb bush headed to the border, joe biden holds a big meeting. will he run? donald trump here live with reaction to that and so much more after his big show in mobile, alabama. nfl hall of famer's chris carter shocking advice to

4:34 am
capitalism.com writing in the new york sun today, the troubles with china he's blaming on you. he writes in part, investors and financial journalists scrambling to find an explanation for the recent plunge in global stock markets have plenty of suspects. for my part i blame donald trump. mr. trump's policies are the opposite of the pro-growth approach. he takes aim at your immigration, your trade and your taxes. >> wow, that's amazing. he blames me. i'm the one telling everybody what's going wrong and what's going to go wrong. i'm tea one that says you better start uncoupling from china because china has big problems and they're bringing us down. for this guy, i never heard of him. i have no idea who he s. he's probably not very good at what he does. to blame me is incredible. i'm the one that says uncouple. >> you also say the wall street guys are getting away with murder, including the hedge fund guys, they're not paying enough
4:35 am
for the money they're making. >> they're making a fortune. i want to take care of the middle class. we had a tremendous rally in alabama. people came up and said, you're treating us fairly. the hedge fund guys are paying nothing, paying nothing. what are they doing? it's one thing if you're building buildings. i'll take a little bit of something. these hedge fund guys, they move around papers, many of them are -- if the market goes up, they're geniuses, if the market goes down, they go into a different business. they're wiped out. >> what should they be taxed? >> they should be taxed a fair amount of money. they have all sorts of elements that are in there taxation. i say it's different from others. they're not paying enough tax. they're making a fortune and it's embarrassing. they should be taxed. i know many of them. some are friends, some aren't friends. i guess probably after that, i won't have too many friends. at some point we have to take care of the middle class. >> i know in the past, donald, you have said you would like to
4:36 am
streamline the taxes in this country. you'd like to knock h andr block out of business essentially. but can you reveal at this time what your tax plan would look like? >> you can have fair tax, you can have flat tax, you can take the existing plans that we have and simplify, and i always say that, not h & r block out. people spend a lot of money for these tax return services. for what? it has to be simplified. it's too complicated. you need 195 iq to be able to figure out the tax return. we're going to simplify. that's the easiest in terms of getting it done. later on the we go to a flat tax that's something else. but in the meantime we have to simplify and we have to reduce taxes in particular for the middle class. >> dronld, if you were going to do a flat tax, what would the magic number be? >> the magic number is a very complicated number. i've seen them from 15% to 20%.
4:37 am
nobody knows if it works. the one problem i have with the flat tax is that rich people are paying the same as people that are making very little money. and i think there should be a graduation of some kind. as you make a certain amount of money, i think you should have to graduate upward. that doesn't mean a raise in taxes. that means rich people might be paying less than they're paying right now. >> you're the numbers guy and went to the warden school of business. they already say those are the top bracket, paying 40% of their income. >> that's just federal. >> that's just federal tax. how much more can we take? >> we're the most highly taxed nation in the world. that's why taxes have to go down, business has to come back, jobs have to be back. when these people say trump, it's is sort of interesting, i say we have to decouple and bring our jobs back from china. i think he's using my name as a met a that for. he can't be talking a about the

me. i'm the one that's the opposite of what he's talking about, whoever this person is. >> you've been able to stay on message. hillary clinton wanting to be the champion of the middle class. that message has been mud ld because of the e-mail controversy. she's decided to take a break from her home in the hamptons. >> buzz over the weekend growing about joe biden possibly tossing his hat in the ring, even meeting with elizabeth warren. what do you think about this? >> i think something is going to happen. hillary is in deep trouble. the e-mail situation is turning out to be worse and worse. the number of messages, the number of -- look, it's very simple. general petraeus on far less important documents was destroyed. his life was destroyed, ruined, what he had to go through. for some reason that hasn't come
4:39 am
out. what has come out is the documents were more highly secret, more important, more of them. it's really general petraeus. at some point it something is going to have to happen. when you talk about campaign finance, the hedge fund guys are the ones giving her the money. when she was in the hamptons she was with the hedge fund guys. >> what do you think about biden getting in? does that worry you? >> i think biden will be fine. my attitude is right now i'm against 16 other people of which you probably have four that have a real chance. i'm against 16 other people and that's what i focus on. >> what about your relationship with ted cruz. everyone says you've met with him in the past, met with him recently. are you guys thinking about teaming up? >> no, we're not. i like him. i respect the fact that he's one of the people that hasn't attacked me. everybody that attacked me. you look at perry, lindsey graham, vicious attacks.
4:40 am
they all went down to zero and now getting out of the race. it's one of the greatest honors i've had in my race. everybody that attacks me goes down to zero. perry is gone. lindsey graham is gone. they attacked me and got a lot of publicity. bush, by the way, attacked me in a very modest way. he's a low energy person. when he attacks, he attacks with low energy. >> he's going down. >> what do you make of him going to the border today? the last time you went to the border you came back and said you talked to a number of border agents and were able to detail better what the problem is. >> i think it's great he's going to the border. i think he'll now find out it's not an act of love. he said people crossing are crossing as an act of love which came back to haunt him. he will find out it's not an act of love. i was down on the border. it's rough, tough stuff. this is not love. it's other things going ochblt i think he'll probably be able to figure that out. >> did you see that video over
4:41 am
the weekend of drug smugglers scaling a border fence between mexico and arizona? did you see this and what do you make of it? tell us about how you want to make sure that the border is not as porous, about this wall you say you'll get mechanics coy to pay for and have a door to bring in the good immigrants? >> i did see that, and i thought it was incredible. actually i was very impressed with the shape these guys were in. how they got over the wall was incredible, carrying the load of drugs on their back. the drugs go out and the money comes in. mexico is taking in tremendous -- billions and billions of dollars in drug money. the money gets sucked out of the united states and the drugs come in. as usual, we get the bad stuff, they get the good stuff. the money goes right back in to mexico. you have to build a wall where they can't do that. the way they climbed that wall was rather amazing, almost like
4:42 am
olympic climbers. they got over with no trouble. >> a lot of practice. donald, i know in the past you said you were willing to spend up to a billion dollars on the campaign. and you have said in public that some lobbyists came up and said i'd like to give you $5 million as a donation. you said no because, if you became president, you did want to be beholding to him. you are now, i understand, willing to take donations, but it's a no-strings-attached deal. explain that. >> only no strings attached. during the speech in alabama i said, i feel foolish. people are offering me millions and millions of dollars. i turned down a $5 million the other day from a lobbyist that i know. there's always strings attached. many people giving to bush, they don't give because they like his hair color. only one reason, total strings attached. they want what they want. i won't do that. but i will accept -- from a practical standpoint, i have so
4:43 am
many people that are writing in -- a woman sent a check for $7.32 with a long letter. it was the cutest thing. i have people sending $10 checks. i have people that want to contribute more. only if there's no strings whatsoever attached. the only strings attached is i want to make america great again. that's the only string because we need it so badly, the country is in such a bad way, you look at china, i've been talking about china for years. because china is going bad, it's going to bring us down, too, because we're so heavily coupled with china? we're being run by people that don't have a clue, don't know what they're doing, totally incompetent. we've got to stop. >> now the chinese are impacting our stock market. that's where we started. donald trump, thank you very much. we know you have to run your empire an roughen for president. >> thank you very much. >> calling in on monday, like old times. 43 minutes after the hour on a monday morning. up next, a state trooper shot in the head while trying to help a stranded driver. now he's in the fight for his

4:49 am
get the guy to come out of the truck, talking to him, great conversation. as he kind of grabbed for the door and came up, you saw the blast come and you see the shotgun come out. it's a sawed-off shotgun. that gun was not made to shoot birds. that gun was made to hurt someone and to kill somebody. it had buckshot in it. single shot. another shell in his pocket. he came out, and as the trooper went back towards his car and fell down. you don't see that part on tape. you hear him talking you her same say, are you awake? are you breathe? you're a lucky individual, but you're going to die soon. some horrible words to hear. here is a gentleman, felony convictions dating back into the '90s, multiple dwis. we're learning this morning, aggravated batteries on police officers previously. this wasn't a good person. thank god for those four
4:50 am
individuals that stopped. they stopped and they helped. they rendered first aid. they grabbed the guy, actually took the trooper's handcuffs and handcuffed him right there. to watch and see those individuals do that was certainly -- made my heart feel good. i got a trooper fighting this morning. my thoughts and prayers, the whole country's thoughts and prayers are with him. >> we are praying with you. colonel, thanks for joining us today. >> thank you. >> terrible story. >> thank you, sir. thank you. all right. ten minutes before the top of the hour on this monday. two teenage vandals busted after their own parents called the cops. and paying for the cleanup was just the start. the punishment that will have every parent talking this morning about, are we too easy on our kids? that when we come back. on this day in history back in 1994, ub 40 had the number one song in america "can't help falling in love".

4:55 am
left them. have you ever had a reaction like this? >> no, not in the almost nine years that i've been in business. it's very rare to get compensation from a vandal. >> these letters from these two teenage boys, a 14-year-old and his younger brother, what did they say? >> general they they were real sorry for wasting the local government's time, city employees and police officers and tax dollars is what they wrote in their letters to me. they wanted to use this as a learning lesson. >> and their parents are getting applauded this morning saying this is a good parent alert. you've got actions -- you take actions and they have consequences. if you do something bad, there's goings to be a punishment headed your way. instead, they decided to write these heartfelt notes and send you some cash. i understand you're going to be a dad soon.

5:07 am
it was jammed and wasn't working. he was trying to charge the weapon. alek hit me on the shoulder and said, let's go. ran down, tackled him. we hit the ground. alek came up and grabbed the gun out of his hand while i put him in a choke hold. seems like he kept pulling more weapons left and right. pulled out a handgun. alek took out a box cutter. started jabbing at me with that. we let go, all three of us started punching him while he's in the middle oufs. i was able to grab him again and choke him unconscious while alek was hitting him in the head with the pistol or rifle. i can't really remember. feels very unreal. feels like a dream. i don't really know what to say. >> i trust both my friends very much. if it wasn't for them, i would have been dead. we all had a critical role in whatever happened, and everyone
5:08 am
else that helped. the conductors, the guy at the bathroom. everyone played their own part. no one specifically is to praise. >> he seemed like he was ready to fight to the end. so were we skbl for their heroi heroism, earlier today in paris, president francois hollande gave france's legion of medal honors in the palace. >> a very high honor. two of the three american heros are service members. the one who is not, anthony sadler, a senior at california's sacramento state, he said, you know what? you have to stand up and do something when there are nefarious things going on around you. you have to act. he's the only wunl of the three who didn't have the training. the other two guys said our training kicked in and that's what we did. we took this guy down. he was armed with a box cutter and an ak-47. while he was trying to reload and get that ak-47 to fire and
5:09 am
cause even more carnage on that train, these guys took him down. >> the gunman's father says he can't believe his son is a terrorist. he said he found the arsenal of weapons by chance under a bush in a children's park. that sounds believable. belgian officials say we've been looking at this guy for about a year, he's on our radar. they let him get on in brussels. he's been to syria and back. this was his mission. >> radicalized as well. he was on some watch lists, but it didn't keep him from getting on the train. meanwhile, let's talk about the race for president. earlier, about 35 minutes ago we had donald trump on the program. he was responding to the fact that jeb bush is going to go down to the border and eyeball things with his own two eyes. this is mr. trump's observation about mr. bush and his trip. >> i think it's great he's going to the border because i think he'll now find out that it is not an act of love.
5:10 am
he said people crossing are crossing as an act of love which came back to haunt him. he will find out it's not an act of love. i was down on the border. it's rough, tough stuff. the drugs go out and the money comes in. so mexico is taking in tremendous billions and billions of dollars in drug money. the money goes right out, gets sucked right out of the united states and the drugs come in. so we get the bad stuff. as usual, we get the bad stuff. they get the good stuff. >> on all the sunday shows, over the weekend on friday with the 30,000 people, everything is about donald trump still. and jeb bush is going after him. that's one of the things he's doing, is not holding back. the big mantra now for his opponents, not a conservative, he's not a republican. >> and hearing from other candidates like governor huckabee who said, i'm not going to address donald trump questions anymore at all because we're giving him more air time. meanwhile donald trump has always said i can't be bought
5:11 am
and sold. i'm not going to apologize for being rich. now he's say i will take donations but they won't have strings attached. >> a woman sent a check for $7.32 the other day with a long letter. it was the cutest thing. i have people sending $10 checks. i have people that want to contribute more. only if there's no strings whatsoever attached. the only strings attached is i want to make america great again. that's the only string because we need it so badly, the country is in such a bad way. you look at china, i've been talking about china for years. because china is going bad, it's going to bring us down, too, because we're so heavy coupled with china? >> at the end responding to a guy writing in "the new york sun" that he blames donald trump for the problems with china. donald trump did join us at a big event on friday night. 30,000 in attendance in mobile, alabama, which means at this point he's had the largest
5:12 am
audience of anybody running for president, including bernie sanders. >> who came in at 28,000. >> he has a strategy. for a guy that's supposedly weighing in with a staff of one, he seems to know that alabama will be a major state in this primary series. he's starting to surround that as other ones with more experienced staff. >> he has a business model. alabama was part of it. he had a big splash there on friday. straight ahead, she's pulling ahead in the latest polls, past john kasich, marco rubio and chris christie. how much do you know about carly fiorina, the only woman in the race on the republican side. here explaining what she would do differently. and bleep your feelings. we have practical advice for managing life's impossible problems. you definitely haven't heard this before.

5:17 am
issues? joining us right now is republican presidential candidate carly fiorina. good morning. >> good morning, steve. how are you? >> i'm doing okay. the people on our business channel are probably pulling their hair out. the stock market sold out 500 points on friday, looking like it's going to be dipping down 300 when the market opens in about an hour and 13 minutes from now. what's going on now? >> i actually have been expecting a correction for some time. the market has been way too high given the fundamentals. our economy is not particularly strong, 2% growth is very lackluster. china's economy has been slowing down for some time. europe's economy is in trouble. i think the stock market has hit record highs over and over again because the federal reserve has ensured through its easy money policy that the stock market is the only place you can earn a return. now the federal reserve finally is going to back off of that easy money policy. so i think this is warranted,
5:18 am
honestly. >> okay. so we should have seen this coming. meanwhile, here is something we didn't see coming. those three american friends from the childhood on that train in europe, they averted what could have been a massacre. they were awarded this morning france's highest medal of honor as well for their terror takedown. you look at there -- listen to their stories, they're inspiring to all of us. >> they are inspiring and thank goodness for them. you know what's also inspiring about these through young men, their humility, modesty. they're not pounding their chest and talking about how great they are. they're saying any one would have done this, even though we know that's true. i think part of haeroism and leadership is modesty and humility. they're the best america has to offer. >> meanwhile, let's switch to politics. if you're the republican nominee, a possibility you would square off against hillary
5:19 am
clinton. you say you absolutely believe hillary clinton intentionally lied about benghazi and about the e-mails as well. okay. so what's going to happen? >> well, i don't know what's going to happen. here is one of the reasons i think people are just sick of politics is because we have these sanitized sound bites and bumper sticker rhetoric. people don't use common sense language. by any common sense definition of the term she lied about benghazi, she lied about her server and she's lied about her e-mails. i think the most effective thing a republican candidate for office can do is to continue to throw punches at the other side because ultimately we're going to face off against a democratic nominee. maybe it's hillary clinton, maybe it's joe biden, whoever it is, i'm going to continue to throw my punches at the democratic nominee because that's the fight we have to win in 2016. >> some people have criticized your record at hp. you were in business for a very
5:20 am
long time. how would you grow jobs in america? >> you know, i hope people will take a real look at my record at hp. i started as a secretary. during my six years al at hewlett packard, we doubled the company, went from lagging behind to leading in every public category, every market segment. we saved jobs. i hope people will take a look at that record. the real job creators in this company have always been small businesses, family-owned businesses, community-based businesses and farms. i started out typing in a nine-person real estate firm. my husband frank started out driving a tow truck. we are crushing those job creators. it's small business that creates two-thirds of the new jobs, employs half the people. we are for the first time in u.s. history destroying more of them that they're creating. >> we've got to create more. you say you're the person for it. carly, by the way, will be on the intelligence report with

earners in the country are the highest earners with the lowest unemployment rate. under this new system, this pay-as-you-go system, they start paying into the system right away. the undergraduate degrees are a different story. you a lot of for-profit institutions with very few graduates who have taken out a lot of loans and can't pay them off and not getting the jobs to pay them off. the system is different for each level of education. >> lisa, how do you view this trend? >> that's not the case. these graduate students of that $1.2 trillion in debt, they're taking up 40% of that debt with only 14% of those graduate students are represented in the higher education students. what we're doing is encouraging highly educated deadbeats. this is one of the fastest growing entitlements we have right now. with the students taking advantage of the income-based repayment which has doubled under president obama in the past two years and student loan

debt forgiveness. it's at the expense of taxpayers. >> that's actually untrue. >> that's actually the facts. >> 72% -- it's false. 72% of graduates and degree earners have jobs straight out of grad school. they're paying into the system right away. >> these programs have become incredibly lax under president obama. as i mentioned, the income base repayment program alone has more than doubled under president obama. this is what we need to do. the federal government needs to reexamine its role in the process as a whole. since 1984 for undergraduate degrees, since 1984 private four-year universities have more than doubled. for public universities, it's quadrupled. the reason being, a study recently came out from the federal reserve bank of new york that showed for every $3.00 the federal government pumps into the system, the cost of tuition rises by $2.00.
5:28 am
>> private schools are upping the tuition while the loan amount continues to go up. meanwhile the federal government is in troll. banks never would have allowed this forgiveness. they're in a for-profit business. the government is in control. we're taking a bath. don't you agree on that? >> no. actually what happened is under 30 years ago, milton friedman came up with a system saying federal repayment programs should go to students, not to schools. there's no accountability of schools. what's happened is states -- hang on -- states have cut funding to schools. as a result the for-profit institutions that are complete scams are taking advantage of federal subsidies. >> they're taking advantage of it because there's no accountability. we've seen a direct correlation about the amount of money from the federal government going in and the rising cost of college tuitions. guess what, the problems like you and hillary clinton want to add to the problem. if you look --.

5:34 am
last week -- sorry, the dow and the s&p almost 5% and the nasdaq almost 7%. traders come in today and have to navigate wall street. right now they're looking at everything to the downside. you're seeing the favorite stocks that people know so well, apple, exxon, intel, just to name a few on the s&p 500 that are 20% off their highs. there is called bear market territory. apple, exxon, walmart, procter & gamble, chevron, intel, just to name a few, ford motor. for the people who love to invest, they start to look, when do i step in? if you loved it up there, you certainly love it down here. first things first, is this an overreaction or is this a bigger picture? china, the feds, these are things front and center and watching oil below 39 a barrel. there's a lot to navigate through. for the risky folks, they'll see whether this is a greedy moment. for the ones nervous, they call it fear and greed.

that's why they call it that. >> not sure if i can categorize this question in eergt one of those, is this an opportunity to get into those stocks that have been too high? >> right. >> this could be an opportunity for some, if you feel as though we've hit the floor on them, correct? >> it's very hard to know when you've hit the floor. some people say this is a complete overreaction. we had wilbur ross on this morning, great investor. he says this san overreaction, there's light volume. it's summertime. is it a time to get in? you have to know your risk appetite. if you liked apple at $130, you certainly like it now at a hundred and whatever, 20% lower. that's the kind of thing. i think first things first, let's get out of the game and navigate. we're coming off some really tough selling and we'll say -- by the way, 600 points to the downside. 1100 would be about where they would halt trading at the new york stock exchange totally and give it a breather. hopefully we don't get there. >> nicole pet lean any joining

out the answer to things once or twice, but if you've tried and it's getting you nowhere, what you're doing is postponing coming to terms with the fact that it is what it is and you need to deal with it. if you really know you're doing yourself, then you forget about happiness and take great pride in the fact that you're tolerating a lot of pain and still being a good person. that's the hardest thing in the world to do; is not being happy. >> fake it till you make it. but at the same time this author is using his daughter who is a comedian to raise eyebrows, shock value, bleep feelings is what it's called, bleep self-esteem, bleep fairness. just because it's spicy language doesn't mean it's going to spice up your life -- you can't bottle up your feelings. >> it's a good message. the if you're having trouble in your life, deal with it. don't be a victim. >> but go through the process at least. feel sorry for yourself for a

resources towards him. >> what's the answer? i don't know. the german authorities had him on a list, the belgian authorities had him on a list. who is in charge in the new european union? >> it doesn't look like anybody was today. one of the difficulties of these watch lists and all of the radicalization going on under the isis model is, we're in a new era where it is come-as-you-are terrorism. choose targets that are available to you. bring your own weapons of destruction and go commit to action on a timetable that is yours. the fbi is very, very concerned about that time between flash and bang, the time between inspiration to act and actual action and the shortness of that time today with isis-style recruitment. >> sure. >> ryan, i understand you told one of the producers with the ex-does of u.s. military from afghanistan and iraq, that means
5:48 am
there are fewer intel boots on the ground over there which means it's hard to tell what people have got brewing all over the world. >> that's right. that to me is a key concern. when we pulled out of afghanistan and iraq in huge numbers, we also pulled out intel resources, and that means, i'm talking about people. it is much easier for me to assess you and recruit you as a source of information of intelligence if i can see you face-to-face and deal with you on that basis. when we pull all those folks out, you leave a void. >> the place we really need to be is syria because that's where the headquarters of isis is. we don't even have enough to target people on the ground for the most part. >> we've been criticized, particularly the cia has, over the years of not having intelligence sources in the right places. some of that is on the back side of scandal where they're criticized and they decrease their footprint and their
