President ial democratic candidate Bernie Sanders called racist. Rich will be here on what some are calling racist rhetoric. Plus the epipen price gouging scandal not going away for mylan and ceo. Mylans coupon not going over well with food allergy advocates. Well take a look into mylans explanation for the soaring cost of epipen and tell you if the price is right. And janet yellen leaves the markets shaking in their cowboy boots this morning after a speech in jackson hole, wyoming giving the impression a rate hike is coming. The markets liked it at first and then stealed declined through the afternoon. The Dow Jones Industrial average now off 79 points. Less than an hour to the closing bell, im Ashley Webster in for liz claman, lets begin the countdown. Ashley a fed head shake out . Well, both the head chair and vice chair saying a rate hike could come as early as next month, the market calling its buff. The market having its biggest intraday swing of two months, down 13 at the low end and up 124 at the high point but futures pricing in a 36 chance of a rate hike in september if you believe such things. Meaning that most professional traders arent willing to bet that it will actually help. Oh, and, by the way, volatility is back at a sevenweek high. Who says nothing happens on a friday in august . But, by the way, volume is rather below average, which you would expect for a friday in august. All right. To politics. After arguably the most brutal day on the campaign trail yesterday with verbal assaults being traded for hours, the candidates not backing down this friday, it all started with donald trump posting a video to instagram reviving the clintons racially charged remarks about then senator obama back in 2008. The Trump Campaign then tweeted the clintons are the real predators, linking to another Instagram Video of the former first ladys super predators remark. Well, the Clinton Campaign fired back with its own 30second ad using trumps line to black voters when he asked them what do you have to lose by voting for me . The clinton ad answers that question by saying everything. Blake burman has been following all of these moves hour by hour, minute by minute, blake. Who said a summer friday was going to be slow, ashley; right . Ashley exactly. Not this summer at least. Yeah, youre exactly right. Donald trump has been using social media on this day to launch a full throttle defense and an attack against Hillary Clinton. For example, well give you one example here. He sent out a tweet earlier this afternoon quoting from it. How quickly people forget that crooked hillary called africanamerican youth super predators has she apologized . Well, clinton used that very term in 1996 and trump brought it out again earlier today with this video right here. Take a look. No conscious, no empathy, we can talk about why they ended up that way, but first, we have to bring them to heal. You called out president clinton for defending secretary clintons use of the term super predator back in the 90s when she supported the crime bill. Why did you call him out . Because it was a racist term and everybody knew it was a racist term. Clinton not standing by on this day, though. She followed up her blistering 30minute trump centric speech yesterday with a tv ad of her own. Here it is. What do you have to lose . Youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. Look at my africanamerican over here. Trump management with charged of discriminating africanamericans and breaking federal law. I have a great relationship with blacks. Now, ashley while the video from trump is a social media video that ad right there from clinton will be playing over the airwaves in four crucial swing states, florida, ohio, pennsylvania, and north carolina. Ashley. Ashley still 70, plus days to go and many more ads im sure. Blake burman, thanks very much. Appreciate it. Thanks. Ashley rich and cristy will be here later to further discuss this brewing bigotry battle on the campaign trail. A huge day for investors too, the Federal Reserve chair janet yellen in the spotlight in jackson hole, wyoming today. Yellen saying there is a stronger case for raising federal Interest Rates. Strengthening she says. Peter barns standing by with the details of what else she had to say this morning, peter. Well, ashley, lets get to the key line in her speech this morning. It reads quote in light of the continued solid performance of the labor market and our outlook for Economic Activity and inflation, i believe the case for an increase in the federal funds rate, that shortterm benchmark rate, has strengthened in recent months. She did not tip her hand as to timing, but as you heard there are some fed folks thank perhaps the policy meeting at the end of september might be the time to raise rates that fed funds rate a quarter point. But theyre going to be waiting on the data according to yellen and the others. But for reaction, i want to talk to one of the countrys top labor economists, Allen Krueger of Princeton University and, allen, you were in the room when she read her remarks, what did you think . Well, i guess i wasnt so surprised. The labor market certainly has strengthened. Weve made a lot of progress over the last seven years, and were seeing stronger job growth or continuation of strong job growth. Were seeing wages pick up. So i think you really cant argue with her economic analysis. That said, i would have liked to have seen a little bit more debate about whether we could let the economy go a bit stronger than we otherwise would because inflation has been so low for so long. I think there should be some discussion about whether the inflation target of 2 should be interpreted as 2 over a long period of time in which case that will allow us to have inflation above 2 for some period of time since we were below 2 for so long. But i think there is little argument that the job markets continuing to recover, and thats putting upward pressure on wages, and we are seeing inflation gradually approach the feds 2 target. So it sounds like you would not rule them out possibly in september, but they do have a meeting in november just before the election, not sure theyll do it then. And then also one in december. It sounds like theyre teeing up a rate hike at least some time this year as long as the data continues to perform. Thats right. The fomc is going to continue to be data dependent. Theyll look at the data come in. I think september is certainly on the table. I dont think its the most likely time to see Interest Rates rise. But i would be surprised if they dont increase rates by about a quarter of a point before the end of the year. All right. Allen krueger from princeton, thanks for joining us and your insights. Ashley, back to you. Ashley as always, thank you, peter barn. What an amazing background. It doesnt look real. Whatever anyway, peter, thank you. So what do our traders think on the it floor about all of this and Janet Yellens comments and how about the rig count, by the way, did not rise for the first time in nine weeks and what does that mean for oil . Lets get right to the floor show, weve got traders at the New York Stock Exchange, the cme group, and imax. Didnt increase the number of rigs pumping out oil but where does oil go from here do you think . Well, last week we were talking about crude oil being at a top level. Starting to come off. And it did. It came off several dollars. This week came off some and thats one of the reasons why i dont think the rig count went up. It didnt feel so good to be increasing rig count when you dont see much support in the crude oil market. Very shortterm, i think we have a little bit more to go, not much. 50 after that, down we go. Its an oversupplied market, a lot of players in this market, have a lot of crude oil to sell. I think were still heading down, and i think we might even see mid30s before year end. Ashley yeah, still swimming in this stuff. Lets go to jonathan down at the nyc. Jonathan, what did you make of Janet Yellens comments today . It feels like weve been agonizing it over for years and getting the feeling that the fed doesnt know what theyre doing to be honest. What are your thoughts . Today is a day weve been waiting for all week and its nice to see our markets are still alive. Weve had a significant move today, up 100, down 100, so its good to see that the volatility is back in this market. But like from your previous leading guests have said, wasnt anything that was unexpected today. They are still claiming that theyre data dependent and the big debate now and continue will be when are they going to raise rates . I dont think theyre going to have a chance to do it this year before the election. I dont think theyre going to want to throw that curveball into any economic or political ring at this point. Especially as we get towards this election. After that, its going to be up to anybodys guess to see what they do. But the data has shown and can support that our economy is Getting Better and clearly information we get tomorrow is going to back that up. Ashley yeah, an agonizing process, though. Chris robertson to you. Theyre now factoring in a 36 chance of a rate hike in september. I think it seems unlikely before the election. Of course the fed will say that has nothing to do with it. But what are your thoughts . Yeah. I think most people certainly have a thought that theyll probably do nothing in front of the election. But i think thats i couldn why you have the move today in the dollar you had a pretty good whip in the bonds. Look at a fiveminute chart of the bonds, you can see how she talked, the market moved. So the two things forward what happens with the bonds and the u. S. Dollar. The u. S. Dollar rallied today when she was leaning toward a rate hike. Now lets see what happens next week, next friday. Unemployment number. If were data dependent, thats going to be a big number. Ashley yeah, and if its a blow out number, then maybe september is definitely on the table. Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time tout outta to talk to us. Thank you. Ashley be sure to tune in tonight.

Jude medical being halted. Were just getting some information on that. But as you can see stopped at 75. 81. Some devices were vulnerable to hacking attacks, which is not good. So questions about those medical devices. It seems like everything can be hacked these days, including medical devices, and thats why were seeing st. Jude medical being halted. Lets go down to adam shapiro at more to this story at the New York Stock Exchange. Adam. Thats right. As you said it was muddies water capital that shorted this stock and cardiac devices might be susceptible to cyber attack. But they say they stand behind the security of their devices as confirmed by independent third parties and supported through their regulatory filings. They also went on to say that the allegations made by muddy waters on safety and security and di that these are safety and st. Jude stands behind the safety of their devices. Ashley very good. Adam shapiro on st. Jude medical halted. Thanks, adam. A new report out just hours ago shows confrontations between iran and the u. S. Up more than 50 this year. There have been a series of incidents where iranian boats as you can see there have been harassing u. S. Navel vessels in one case a u. S. Ship forced to fire three warning shots, all of this happening in one area, critical to oil shipments, by the way, 18 Million Barrels of crude per bay pass through that region. So the question is why is iran being so aggressive . Didnt the Obama Administration just pay out more than 1. 5 billion to them . Arent we friends again . Im being sarcastic. Fox news colonel ralph peters on his take of why iran is being so aggressive because they can be is the simple answer; right . You took the words out of my mouth. Because they can. Literally. I mean, ashley, the iranians know that they have literally a license to kill, at least to the end of obamas presidency. And it doesnt end in november. It doesnt end still after new years and theyre going to push the pedal to the metal. Not just to the persian gulf but in iraq, in syria, and in the gulf specifically with these. Theyve figured out when we when they grabbed our sailors, abused them, and john kerry our secretary of state thanked them for handling the situation so well, they knew they could run wild. And i honestly think that in addition to trying to humiliate us and show the other gulf countries and the emirates that were not serious, they cant depend on us, i think they might be trying to set us up in the sense that they want us eventually to really fire on one of those small boats and think it. Giving them the excuse to hit one of our smaller ships with a shorter ship missile, aircraft something. They would love to sink. They know they cant sink a carrier. They would love to sink a small u. S. Ship for two reasons. One it humiliates us, two it drives the price of oil back way up, and they need that. Ashley yeah, i would not be surprised. Thats probably a pretty good theory and dont forget we find out. Theres definitely a link between president obama saying theres a redline in syria if saud uses chemical weapons, which we know he did, but we did nothing. But it turns out that were in the middle of negotiations with iran who threatened to pull away from those negotiations over their Nuclear Program if the u. S. Got involved in syria. To me, every step of the way, every angle you look at this story we are deferring to the iranians. Why does mr. Obama want his legacy, at least his Foreign Policy legacy so much be focused on iran and we all getting along and being friends again . I dont get it. Its all he has. There has never been and im not speaking with hyperbole, ashley. There has never been another u. S. President whose Foreign Policy has failed so comprehensively whos been so disastrous for our alliances, so beneficial to our enemies, and obama is clinging desperately to life preserver, what he imagines to be one of this iran nuke deal. It fits his left wing antinuke bigotry. I mean the madness, the naivity. But its what he wants its what he hopes he can cling to, he hopes future decades will vindicate him on the contrary, i think future decades and historianians and analysts will look back at this period as the absolute nateer of u. S. Diplomacy that set up us and the middle east ashley i dont think we need to look back. We know it now. Thank you so much, colonel ralph peters right to the point. We really appreciate it. Thank you, ashley, have a great weekend. Ashley you too. [applause] ashley i dont know why thats so funny.

Ashley, breaking news in the Sumner Redstone family drama, lawyers for karen redstone, granddaughter of viacom founder agreed to dismissal of claims against her grandfathers estate. The lawyers saying that karen agreed to remediate the remaining parts of family dispute and meet with her grandfather directly. Earlier this week redstones met with phllippe dauman after months of disagreement. Maybe months being put to bed. Well see. Carl icahn, bill ackman back bickering over herbalife for years. Were learning mr. Icahn looking to offload his stake in the company. Here is the catch. Ackman, his arch nemesis who labeled it pyramid scheme could be one. Potential suitors. Say what . Here now to give his take, charlie gasparino. Earlier in the week there was market rumor purely that carl icahn was selling his stake in herbalife. Ashley yes. Did he say why . He never answered my call. I did a story that said this and you can rewind the videotape. Herbalife, Company Officials said he is not selling the stake, they dont believe he is selling it. They were very honest. They said it on the record. Carl did not get back to me. If he sold the stake it would be a big thing. I left it as open question. Ashley 18 is a big chunk. Has five board seats. Today we learned the journal wrote he tried, tried at some point, we dont know you who hard he tried to offload some of his stake through jeffries. The buying party of this thing which i think is fascinating who is ackman, who would buy a piece of it. Ashley why would he do that after labeling it a pyramid scheme . Just to mess with icahn . He wanted to buy and sell. He has a rationale which i dont get. Why eye kahn would roll the dice and sell to ackman not expect him to take a victory lap is whole another story. We have calls into carl on this. Look at stock action on herbalife. We should put up stock chart t looks like investors are getting comfortable with this story. The company, it is you now trading at 59. It was at 60 earlier. Ashley just under. Came back off its lows pretty dramatically t was down six bucks earlier in the trading day. Ashley pretty resilient stock, lets be honest. You can see it taking the hit. It bounced back up. I think what you got is twofold, two things going on. The analyst on the stock is a bull, take it for what it is worth, tim rainy making case icahn sale is positive for the stock. I dont believe that. That means there is potential buyers out there. He thinks icahn if he sells the stock he will sell it less out of conviction about the company being having a problem, more carl is very negative on markets right now. At least that is what rainy said. Ashley all right. The other thing the company is telling investors today, it is pretty much of a derek quote, that icahn, quote, is pretty positive on the stock. Theyre trying to spin carl is ashley theyre all spinning, charlie. Carl is negative on the market, not necessarily the stock. Ashley yeah. It is working a little bit. We should point out ackman was on cnbc today. Basically says icahns sale would be existential threat to the company. Ashley of course. Distributors want out. Stock would go bonkers. And you know ashley just the latest chapter. One thing i would say is this, if that was the case, because i think the journals story is pretty solids as he tried to sell it, if that was the case the stock would be going down. Dow is off now . Ashley down 30 points. Down 100 at one point. The stock would be getting cratered. There is some level of support. Ashley right. It is all talk now. It is all talk we have not heard from him. He is uncharacteristically. Ashley he is on the phone. He has been very weird about talking about these ashley cautious. Charlie, great stuff as always. Thank you very much. Okay. Ashley closing bell ringing in just unhalf an hour. The dow trying to come back. Down just 30 points now. Down to this story getting a lot of talk, my lans ceo, heather bresch, under fire, but one ceo says there are ways to save on epipen despite mylan mea culpa. Not easy to say.

Every day seems quite long. We can expect plenty more mudslinging on the trail but we can also expect a dump of potentially electionchanging information from wikileaks. Julian assange appeared on fox friends this morning and said the release of 20,000 emails from the Democratic Committee upped ante. We have quite a lot of material in relation to the u. S. Elections. Thousands of pages. Relating to various aspects of the hillary Clinton Campaign and some other institutions. The publicity as result of our dnc publications which caused top five democratic officials in the Democratic Party to resign including president Debbie Wasserman schultz has led to other sources being encouraged. So they stepped forward and hopefully that process will continue as we continue to publish and we can see kind of a cascade of information. Ashley a cascade of information. Hillary clinton by the way currently leads donald trump by 10 points, even with the revelations of her connections to the Clinton Foundation as secretary of state come to life but does wikileaks have the power to actually choose who takes the white house . Im joined by christie setzer, democratic strategist and rich lowery here in the studio, editor of National Review. Thank you to both of you. Let me go to christie first. We see Julian Assange at ecuadorian embassy, he has been there many years. Are you or anyone associated with the Democratic Party concerned about what could be contained in the next email dump . Anybody that has a email address would be a little nervous what is something someone who is doing their best to take you down could potentially find even if youve done nothing wrong. No, if the worst he has to offer is what Julian Assange put out ahead of the democratic convention, which by the way ended with basically a singing of kumbayah between the sanders and clinton supporters then i dont think Hillary Clintons campaign has very much to worry about, i do not. Ashley what do you think, rich . A lot of this stuff, i feel, goes over the peoples heads almost like a drip, drip of a tap you ignore it for a while. Could it have impact . I think to some extent is hostage to what is on her emails and Clinton Foundation emails and what someone like assange might have. To your point Clinton Emails are baked in the cake, email scandal. The question can you find something so catastrophically shocking it changes trajectory of the race . You need bread crumbs of emails leading to policy change or need someone directly in email, change this policy because x gave us a million dollars. Ashley there is never a smoking gun, is there . They tend to be very careful. Ashley let me follow up with rich, with you on this one. I will talk about Hillary Clinton being very strong on the race issue, basically saying that donald trump is a vessel for hate speech. Does that have an impact . Does that resonate . Is that a good tactic . I doesnt anyone wants this campaign to be about race but that what has been the last several days. Clintons speech was keeping of her strategy since the democratic convention. Dont make any policy con seconds. Dont even attack donald trump on policy. Disqualify him for the presidency that he is unsuited and doesnt have character. So far she has to then traction on that. Ashley christie, quite a few people, a few, thousand, millions, dont like either candidate to be frank. Does this approach gain votes out there that could be gained . In other words could she persuade undecided taking this route on race . Her campaign obviously believes that it can. Look, when youre running a campaign, the first thing that you do go after your base, shore them up. Then you go after the middle. And then if youre in really great position which the Clinton Campaign obviously believes they are, then you try to cut into your opponents support. Yesterdays speech was all about republicans. It was aimed at getting votes of republicans who are really uneasy with donald trump. And that is why you saw her do things like align herself with john mccain, george w. Bush and even ted cruz by saying, you know, donald trump went after your father. Ashley right. So they clearly believe there is something to be gained by pursuing this strategy in this way, yes. Just amazing, were here in late august and Hillary Clinton is defending ted cruzs honor. Right. Ashley which goes along perfectly with the nuttiness of this entire campaign. Im been told were out of time. Busy news day but fascinating stuff. Christie, rich lowery of National Review thanks for being here. Lets get back to the markets. We have breaking news again on st. Jude. We were told the stock is halted about the news of possibility of a hacking into their medical device cardiac device. That is not good. Is adam shapiro available . Reporter yes. Ashley adam, what can you tell us . Keep an eye. It will start trading a few seconds. This is from the chief technological officer. He said the allegations are absolutely untrue. St. Jude medical which makes these devices we want to reassure our patients that our instruments meet highest International Requirements and International Authorities and meet standards. When the stock was, affirm muddy waters which shorts stocks came out with a report that merlin at home devices monitor implanted or heart cardiac device had some kind of a flaw which would allow cyber hacking. According to st. Jude, they say the report of muddy waters applies to older versions of the merlin at home device that had not been patched with upgrades. According to st. Jude medical, e new devices have. Ashley thank you for that update, adam. As you can see the stock trading again. Look at the Dow Jones Industrial average itself.

The Company Expanding access to the product not by lowering the price but by creating a savings card, the one you see right her. That will cover up to 300 of its epipen twopack. But is it a savings card really the answer . Outside experts claim overall impact of the card will likely be very small and not a solution to the broader problem. Yesterday on countdown former mylan specialty spokeswoman shared why she resigned and offered her two cents. A coupon is just not enough at this point. It is too little too late. Heather needs to step down. We need to do damage control. She owes a stronger explanation to consumers who rely on mylan and epipens to keep their children safe. Ashley rx savings solution ceo michael ray joins us now live in a fox business exclusive. Michael, thank you so much for being here. Youre the ceo of rx savings solutions. So you help companies and their employees get the best possible deal for their health plan, is that right. Thats exactly right. We work with health plans and selffunded employers. Were about more than just about cost. Were about therapy options as well. So there is a discussion happening that includes, you know, what is the price of the drug. We really focus on taking a clinical approach to solving the problem. Ashley so youre the guy that looks at costs. Youre very well aware of what goes on in the pharmaceutical world. Yes. Ashley are you surprised by the cost being charged, the price being charged by mylan . Im actually not. Ive seen, i feel like ive seen this happen over and over. Ashley really .
