stu, if you are looking for a repeat of august 2010, will you be disappointed? >> oh, i think so, mandy. these are not necessarily the same kind of conditions as we had back then. the u.s. economy's actually been looking a little bit better lately and inflation certainly not showing signs of weakening as it needs to, i think, for the fed to get aggressive and mr. bernanke will buy sometime, end katding that the fed is on the case and watching, but don't look for them to do anything. >> i know, david. but you are not looking for anything either. with the market around four-year highs, how much anticipation of anything happening is built in and how much might we fall if nothing happens? david, are you there? okay. we appear to have a problem with the audio there. stu, i'm assuming you can also hear, still. >> yes. i hear you loud and clear, mandy. so, you know, i don't know how much is priced in. i do know that the rally we have had as of late is pretty listless. not a lot of volume. so, there's a certain degree of complacency maybe coming to be built in here. but

let me start with you on that, stu.entional wisdom is, those guys are supposed to be democratic voters. >> but entirely understandable, isn't it? large numbers of people turned out to see mitt romney because he wants energy independence for america. he wants to drill for more oil. in particular, speaking in southeastern ohio, coal country he wants to mine more coal. that resonates anywhere when you've got $4 gas for many people and middle eastern oil is near $100 a barrel. if you're a coal miner, making steel, if you're in those basic american industries which need cheap american energy, mitt romney's message of energy independence really raise mates. -- resonates. building of windmills does not. megyn: he accused president obama waging a war on coal. he lights all sources of energy that come from above the ground. i'm for all the oil, coal, gas. the obama camp denies that. scott, what do the numbers show in terms of how these two men are doing? let's start in the state of ohio. overall and with this voting group, if yo

[shouting] bill: that is the video of the day, huh? like the olympics out of london. it was a very big deal. why nasa scientists called this, quote, seven minutes of sheer terror and how they got through it. heather: not terror after it though. so much for the golden years. a historic shift in retirement benefits. why today's retirees aren't getting what they paid for. the dire new warning for social security. bill: there is a lot more reaction on harry reid's accusations about mitt romney's taxes. why the head of the rnc says the senate majority leader is a quote, dirty liar. heather: dirty. >> well wit is time for harry to put up or shut up. harry will have to describe who it is he spoke w

good morning, stu. >> good morning heather. look, agricultural products, products at the farm level, the price of those products eventually find its way into the grocery store for the price of food that you pay at the grocery store. well the truth is that those basic farm products are spiking in price. just look at this. because of the drought here at home in america, we have the price of corn up nearly half, 47%, since june. and the price of soybeans has gone up by a quarter, 26% just since june. the news this morning from the u.s. agriculture department, the harvest for corn and soybeans will be the worst we've seen in many, many years which means prices will go up some more. the bottom line, heather, that food price inflation is right very close to it. here it comes. you could see it coming. heather: stu, those prices going up. beef prices are going down. why is that? >> that is an anomaly. beef prices are going down because cattle in america for beef are fed on corn. corn is very expensive. farmers know they will have to pa

stu varney, thanks very much. >> gregg. martha: consumers also taking a big hit at the pump lately as gas prices have been rising across the nation. in california, which is the nation's largest gasoline market, the average price of gas already topping $4 a gallon. that is up from $3.86 just last week. lack of production and the peak summer driving season just two of the things. a lot goes into the mix in the gas price but that is couple other reasons we're seeing a little bit higher this morning. gregg: i paid $4.29 the other day for premium. martha: ouch. where? name names. gregg: well, transportation costs up there add to the price. martha: got to go to new jersey. gregg: i will come down to your neck of the woods and by gasoline there and say hello. martha: we have lots more for you, folks. republican lawmakers telling eric holder, we'll see you now in court. what they want and whether holder will be forced to comply this time. gregg: president obama calling paul ryan extreme but governor romney says, hey, it is the othe

[gunfire] president assad desperately trying to hold onto power. he speaks out on the one battle that he believes will determine the fate of the people and that nation. patti ann: also double trouble. the same state hit by a massive dust storm suffers flooding, stranding drivers. just ahead we'll have some heart-stopping efforts to save lives. >> i was driving down and i was stupid enough not to, you know, realize that there was water going through. and then the water, i swear, felt like it started rising because cars were going right past me and i assumed they're going past me it is perfectly fine to go and well, it want. wasn't i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis. i've always had
