not bad. >> i am going to be the great stuart varney. what i supposed to do? xt story. ready to foot the bill for the first time? the latest vacation is going to cost you big time. according to the washington post president obama's vacation to africa will cost the taxpayers anywhere from 60 to $100 million. and amtrak carrier, amphibious hospital ship, 50 support vehicles will be brought in for the president on his africa vacation. >> i normally don't begrudge presidents and their families vacation, they're human beings and they need a break like everybody else but this first family takes more vacations than the average president and ppesidential family. in this case in an age of sequester and an age when we are supposed to be at least looking at some government fiscal restraint to have a vacation that is expensive seems incredibly outrageous and unnecessary. when word got out they decided to cancel the safari, part of their african vacation how much will that save? how much? we don't know but that is a drop in the bucket compared to the overall cost. stuart: w

do you remember when i got up in the b block and interviewed stuart varney?: do you remember what he said? >> alisyn: no, let's recap it for our viewers. >> brian: do you want to let him recap it? >> alisyn: let's do it. >> this morning the dow jones average may recover 100 points of its 500-point loss. the price of gold will come back maybe $10 after dropping over $100. but there will be no change in interest rates. they will stay at the new elevated level. that means mortgage rates are on the rise very quickly. that means there is going to be a rush at banks to get in there and make sure you get your mortgage rate at the old low rate, lock in now. there is going to be a rush to do that this morning. >> alisyn: of course, it's tough to know what the fed should have done because this was a stimulus that's been going on for a long time. just so i get it right, it's $85 billion a month. this is a bond buying program. also known as a stimulus. it had to taper it at some point. it had to pull back on that gravy train. >> brian: he got us on the crack and now tryi

stuart varney is here to weigh in. what's ruining the economy?for the rest of this entire decade, gas-powered cars will be cheaper to own and run than electric-powered cars. the two only balance out in the year 2020 if gas goes to $6 a gallon and you get a $7,500 permanent tax credit. that's the only way you'll balance out the two. that's it. >> i thought that expired, the $7,500 tax credit. >> a guy from the c.e.o., ronald geckin, the government's bean counters, they are the ones saying it. he's saying the two don't match. electric is not as cost effective as gas. that will be the same for the next six and a half years. >> that's for the driver. it's never been cost effective for the taxpayer. >> didn't you recommend these things? spoeupb i recommended they -- >> i recommended they turn the chevy volt into a gas-powered car. talk about the green movement. >> it's politics. this is a green car. green is a policy. green is all about politics. when it comes to economics, business, it simply doesn't work. it's not price competitive. by the way, we'r

stuart varney is here. it comes down to two words: ben bernanke. >> this is ben bernanke's stock market recovery, ben bernanke's housing recovery. it is not president obama's. this is ben's. at 2 p.m. today ben speaks. is he going to keep the money flowing or is he going to cut back on the money flow? and if he does, when is he going to do it? investors are doing he's got a lot of leeway to keep on pumping out that money, keep the stock market going, keep the housing recovery going. because inflation is at a 50-year low. we haven't had the inflation you're supposed to get when you pump out all the money. so the betting is he keeps on printing for the forseeable future. the stock market has gone up the last two days. it's going to start out higher this morning as well. >>brian: is the world happy about that being it is the world currency? >> the world wants this. >>brian: doesn't it devalue what that paper's worth? >> it does. but most investors want stock prices to go up. most people want the housing rally

stuart varney joins knee now. this has gotten a lot of attention in terms of the focus i can at the moment. what do you think about all that? >> i think it's a big deal. the president is about to kill an american industry. the coal industry. he will addressee athlete students that georgetow georgetn university. he's going inthe state -- he's going to use the environmental protection agency, the epa. he's going to say you have got to cut emissions at the nation's power plants. that will affect the coal industry dramatically. it's not just future power plants, it's current power plants as well. it will eliminate keel jobs and it already eliminated half the value of america many coal industry and it will certainly put up the cost of electricity. it's a very big deal. this is a big speech on a very important issue. martha: it's rough for the coal industry. you look at the u.s. auto industry by everybody thought was something that was worthy to be saved and you have the coal industry which has a black mark on it so to

stuart varney, host of "varney & company" on the fox business network. you have to laugh, stuart, if you don't you will just cry. this is, when you think about a private corporation trying to convince shareholders that this would be a good way to spend their money, that would be a tough climb but this, nobody asks us if it's okay with us for our money to be spent this way. >> but, wait, martha, there's a whole lot more, taken straight from the inspector general's report which is now being detailed. how about this? $27,500, plus first class travel for someone to make two speeches. those speeches at this irs conference in anaheim, california, were how seemingly random combinations of ideas can drive radical innovation. 27, five, plus first class travel. by the way, the small business division at the irs had the presidential suite in the hotel for five nights. and, wait for it, the $4 million cost of that particular conference was partially financed with $3 million taken from the budget to hire more irs staff. so you can see that the anger is rise especially

what does this mean to stuart varney, anchor of the fox business network. >> reporter: here's what's going to happen when the stock market opens. it will stage a very modest rebound. it may be up 30 to 50 points. that's not much of a bounce after coming down 560 points in the last two days. the price of gold very, very modest bounce. up maybe $4 an ounce after dropping nearly $100 an mount last three days. interest rates will stay at the new higher levels. that's the big problem. under rates. ben bernanke opened his mouth wednesday afternoon and said watch out. the 30-year decline in interest rates, the cost of borrowing money is going the other way. and we have. rick: i listened to the chairman and he was talking about that interest rates are a bit higher as a sign the overall economy is strong and these are good things. i would think that would be good for the market and investors. >> reporter: ben bernanke is talking about a growth rate of 2.5%. and he's not talking about a flood of new jobs coming into the economy tither. he's got to quit the printing money at some point. he's hi

and stuart varney says it may be the sign of a little bit of good news but also something else that he's calling our new normal. welcome to the new normal. so, you know, it's like hitting your head against the wall. you don't know how it feels until you stop. >> reporter: this is what we have got, this is the new normal. that's a slow recovery. not many jobs and a low rate of growth. you go to the numbers on new jobless claims. they are down 12,000 from last week. that's not a great number. that's still relatively high. retail sales numbers up .46%. so what you have got -- here is the question. are you going to accept this new normal of a very slow recovery? is america repaired to accept this new normal? martha: i think -- let's take a look at some of these numbers and show how people are feeling about the u.s. economy. it does appear they are starting to get used to this. right now the number of people who say the economy is excellent or good is 18%. back in january only 9% called that excellent or good. you can see the numbers for only fair or poor. let's take a look at the other one a

stuart varney, fox business network joins me right now. j. russell george, the inspector general who looked all this and has been he have iting, we asked these so-called rogue folks at the irs in cincinnati, who instructed you, where did this directive come from to sift through the applications for conservative names and monikers in here. he said he couldn't get them to answer that question. >> there is really a lot of frustration here. it is growing. it is intense frustration. because there is a suspicion and clear evidence that the machinery of government was used to intimidate the president's political opponents in two election cycles. yet we do not know who may or may not have the orchestrated this. who orchestrated, who demanded and who organized this campaign. as you just heard, the investigator there, j. russell george, he didn't look at that aspect within the irs. two previous irs directors said they will not name names and they don't he no the answers anyway. then mr. werfel said, yesterday, he will find outs but that would be in the
