texas? see, the many of these commodity economies definitely were part of the global growth story and that'seally what this entire segment is about. is that we are all arm in arm on global growth. don't we remember how we climbed these big peaks after the credit crisis? the energy market was one and everybody jumped on. commodity goose in the market with regard to commodities. but listen, don't forget the middle east as well. and i always joke about a cartel. you're never going to get a bargain when a group is called a cartel. so the cartels take on the patriotic free marketers that came up with all the yankee inengine out on creating things like fracking and how to horizontal drill wells and like the article in the "wall street journal" pointed out, a lot of the numbers and scary aspects of the energy reversal here, didn't affect many that it was supposed to affect. and those that it was supposed to affect the least like saudi arabia, well, they're going through burn factor. because we've repriced. we've recalibrated. we're recalibrating energy, we're recalibrating trade. we're recalibratin

if you're in oklahoma or in texas, higher oil prices are probably good for your local economy because you get a lot of jobs tied to the oil industry. but if we look at what we're doing nationally in terms of our economy, if you've got lower oil prices that should translate to lower gas prices. and that means a little bit more extra money in everyone's pockets when it comes to what they're paying at the gas pump each week. nonetheless, this is one of those things that overall it should help the economy, but we haven't quite seen it yet. in other words, people have had this savings for some time, more than six months when it comes to gas prices being lower at the pump but they're not spending the money in part because they're just not feeling confident enough, bret, about this overall economy. so that's a problem. >> so the wild ride continues. trish? >> it does indeed. >> thank you very much. >>> be sure to check out "the intelligence report" with trish regan weekdays from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. on the fox business network. >>> a federal panel wants airlines and hotels to disclose pricing a

texas come a great cotton producer. the south thought they want to destroy the american economy. remember the war of 1812. it was only a generation away when a british admiral burned washington and every household in america remembered it. look at your license plates. war of 1812. there were four specific problems in the u.s.-british relationships. first in 1837 there was a rebellion in canada. some americans went north to help the rebels. at the end of 1837, british militia crossed the niagara and burned the american merchant ship the caroline, and pushed her over the niagara falls. americans called for war against great britain. how could they do this to us ? the british said, self-defense. you americans crossed the line and came up. we are ok doing that. the second problem was three years later. a deputy sheriff from canada was named the cloud was passing through new york state and stupidly he starts bragging about his role in burning the caroline and pushing it over the falls. not surprisingly, new york state authorities arrested mcleod and tried him for murder. the british said he has no personal res

economy the south needed more land and they could conquer that. it was a big part of what manifest destiny was about. that's what texas and the war with mexico is about and that was what the efforts to take over central america and cuba were about. but once it conquered the land it would need more slaves to work the land. the land wouldn't work that much unless you could open it up and grow within the cottonwood eat it up and you would move on. a great thing about slaves is that there were portable. as you expanded west you could keep taking your labor force with you. they didn't have to think about it. they didn't get a chance to think about it. so all of this played into bunches -- and so convincing was he that with his arguments the southern states would have no choice but to reopen the slave trade even when the confederate constitution bandit officially in 1851 the british envoy to washington broke back to the foreign office saying don't pay any attention to that. that's just something they are saying for now and they will change course immediately when they are in attendance at that happens. every time that the c
