stuart varney asked john kasich, would you consider being vice president. let us listen to what he said, and tell us the probability. >> there is zero chance i will be anybody's vice presidential candidate. end of story. liz: end of story. would you think that might change if donald trump looks at john kasich and say he's the guy who might be the right choice to balance me donald trump out? >> i think john will look at mr. trump and say it's not my responsibility as an adult to teach another adult how to grow up. he's going to say i think i want to be president or work on making sure this country goes in the right direction. if you listen to messages are not one of separatism, not one of really anger and hate and all the messes coming out of the other camp. once this election is over, we have to be called the united states of america. we're facing difficult issues that bluster and just big bold statements are not ones that are solved. we have a person in kasich who solved things like our budget. solved things like bringing a state together, whether people l

stuart varney over to you. do not don't you love those europeans?e going to love this one. good morning, everyone. i'm turning to the election first. extraordinary pressure on mark arabia to drop out. this is the political story at the moment. revealed looks like he is going to lose the primary in his home state. the establishment wants him to unify the anti-trump. huge pressure. these now, please. he says he stays in. look at the spirit box paul, ru

stuart varney right now, "varney & company" begins, stuart, i brought ella bella in.ed, thank you, maria, and we appreciate that. talking about ganging up, the anti-trump people are pulling out the stop, legal and legit and otherwise. good morning, everyone, establishment republicans hold closed door meetings, they are plotting. prominent politicians go public and editorials scream stop trump and then there are the anonymous hackers trying to shut him down on-line and even a suspicious package to his son eric. it is a no holds barred dump

thanks for joining us, ashley webster is in for stuart varney, "varney & company" starts now. rubio is taking a last stand in florida and the same for governor john kasich in ohio. the big factor, of course, one mr. donald trump. on the democratic side, bernie sanders gaining momentum in ohio and illinois, could mean another upset could be in store for hillary clinton, remember michigan? staying on hillary, two big gaffes from her on the campaign trail. she links donald trump supporters to lynch mobs and then says no americans died in libya, while she was secretary of state. and a complete surprise from vladimir putin, russian troops

"varney & company." stuart: a fine shot, maria. a fine shot. maria: thank you.ay morning, everyone. donald has a more than 20 point lead in florida. he's so confident, he'll cancel the rally there and he'll speak instead in ohio. he wins both of those states, a clear path to the nomination. marco rubio, he's on the way out, needs a miracle to win his home state of florida. and violence, hillary clinton says he insights it, that would be trump and

. >> i just want to fly around with stuart varney. a lot of people vote ours.em were using the equivalent of subprime loans. >> easy money always leads to easy lending. the businesses try to prop up and keep strong sales going. you basically see the lowering of the bar. that was a big one. this one right now was not a big one. it can grow. it is also going on in housing right now. all we need to see if housing prices come down. >> in other words, one out of 10 of these is a 10 days or so. does that mean what could happen on the homefront? they call them more flexible loans. >> i itself, it does not mean it needs to happen in housing. you have to remember, businesses are so strong. the highest ever. last month leasing was that the highest month ever. trying to keep the numbers up. that is where trouble happens. all of these loans, unfortunately. a lot of these folks have very low fica scores. then you begin to wonder what that means. >> being dropped off at the auto dealerships. people bought homes and did not have the second mortgage payment. same thing happens

i was one of those people, you know, arnold schwarzenegger, elon musk, stuart varney, there's a whole tradition of people right around the world that have this inexplicable desire to just get to the united states. and it's something i think about the energy in america, the optimism, the feeling that anything is possible, that this is the land where magic can truly happen. and that's really what i kind of subscribe to. and i've got to tell you that i've never, ever been disappointed. this is the country where anything is possible. i think that this is still the land where anybody can rise above the circumstances of their birth and go on to achieve whatever it is that they want to achieve, and that is an elegant and beautiful principle and one that we've got to preserve for as much and as long as possible. >> host: well, the title of your most recent book is "retaking america," which seems to indicate we're doing something wrong. what is that? >> guest: i think, peter, that political correctness is behind every single problem in america today. whether we're talking about open borders, a

you heard christine varney last week talking about why they believe united technologies is entrenchedunited technologies believes, no, not the case. we truly think the antitrust impediments would have doomed this transaction and put uses in us in a poor position. honeywell missed the window for filing proxies to try to get nominations to the board of directors. but nothing says, given the long history between these two companies, 2000, 2011, 2015, 2016 comes the other way now from honeywell that there won't be yet another approach. the key, it seems to me, jim, is for utx to figure out a way to get its business operating in a stronger fashion, get stock price up and become more immune to a potential challenge when the window is open from honeywell. >> is that why the stock is not back to 87, 88? >> maybe. you know there's one day a bid there, right? may give you a little premium. >> wouldn't you love to speak to dave cote about that? >> i think you might do that. >> tomorrow on "mad money." it's called promoting. what i think is most amazing about this, before this discussion, the qua
