FBC Varney Company July 14, 2024
Wednesday, forgive me, before the july 4th break. And the dow, nasdaq and s p 500 all in uncharted territory, still close to record highs despite looking down in the futures. President trumps salute to america speech from last night praising unity and american ideals, freedom and democracy. Thats what this country is all about but dont tell that to the left. They say trump got too political, shouldnt have taken the stage at all on
Independence Day
. Also, the largest earthquake in 20 years hitting california on july 4th. Buildings shaken, houses burning, highways cracking. But according to reports, no fatalities. We will have a live report for you later in the show. Varney company starting right now. Today we come together as one nation with this very special salute to america. We celebrate our history, our people and the heroes who proudly defend our flag, the brave men and women of the
United States
military. God bless all those people in the military. That was
President Trump
at the salute to america event on the
Washington Mall
on the fourth of july. The blue angels flew over washington to celebrate americas independence. That was a spectacular sight. We will have more on yesterdays event coming up throughout the show. Back to that blockbuster jobs report. 224,000 jobs added in june. Come in, david mcintosh, club for growth president. David, im happy. Are you . Very happy with that report. It was very strong and it indicated the economy continues to grow, i think in large part thanks to the president s tax and deregulatory policies, and as you mentioned, the key was that essentially this is going to put a pause on those who want to see changes in the rates because employment looks good, inflation is about at target, there really is no reason for change. David 335,000 people coming back into the work force, so that of course ticked up the
Unemployment Rate
to higher than it had been, 3. 7 is a worrisome rate for some but not to me when i see all those people coming back into the work force. I think thats right. Thats an indication the economy is continuing to expand and people are responding. Thats one of the biggest changes from the obama era recovery and the trump era recovery is that now the pie is getting bigger. It means more people can find jobs. David exactly. If you build it, they will come. We had a very tight labor market. In fact, some were concerned there werent enough people looking for jobs and that was making it more difficult for employers to find people that they could hire. Now with the influx of 335,000 coming back in, thats going to make it a little easier for employers who want to hire more to expand more. I think thats right. Youre seeing wage increasing slowly over time, 3. 5 annually, and thats a response. Employers are realizing theyre going to have to pay good wages in order to continue to attract more people to come off of unemployment and come back into the employment market. David just imagine, david, what would happen if we get a china deal. In fact, i want you to listen to what
National Economic
council head larry kudlow said about the china trade deal. Take a listen. I can promise you that were working hard at it, reopening the talks, but i can promise you we are seeking a balanced relationship. David we are going to hear from larry later this hour. Hes sounding optimistic. Do you think a deal is going to get done soon . I think theres a good chance they will get to a deal. Both sides have an interest in doing that. But what youre seeing right now with china announcing well, were not going to do anything unless you remove all the tariffs, they know thats not going to happen. They are staking out their extreme position in a way the president s already done that in threatening to add more tariffs. That phase is done. Now we are going to get back to real negotiations and thats a very positive sign. David i think the give on our part, on huawei, some people are concerned about it, wondering if we are going too much to huawei considering how dangerous they could be, but anyway, that give was a real positive step for a deal, was it not . I think it was very much a positive step. The big question here is going to be youre never going to get all of what we need from china on recognizing property rights, particularly intellectual property rights, but if they move in the right direction and then agree on the trade side to a more balanced trade, i think that will be a deal that would look good to the president , if we can move forward and be a tremendous success to the economy. The tariffs are hurting us. They are a drag on the growth and if we can get to a deal where those come back off, youre right, another round of really fantastic
Economic Growth
david im sensing desperation on the part of the chinese. Not only the slowdown in their own economy but whats happening in hong kong is of great concern to them, as it should be. So it looks like they are hungrier for a deal than they have been. The key, i think im hoping larry kudlow, who i know understands this, is able to get the president s ear, the key is letting the chinese save face even as they make those concessions, and thats just a cultural aspect to it that needs to be factored into the whole negotiation process. David david mcintosh, always a pleasure. We are going to be able to ask the man himself,
National Economic
Council Director
larry kudlow. Hes going to join us to talk jobs, china trade and a whole lot more coming up in about 45 minutes from now. Now to the markets. We are close to an alltime high. Come in, rebecca walser. How long do you think this economic boom is going to happen . Well, you know, this was great news this morning. Like you said, 335,000 people back into labor force, 224,000 jobs added. We have just had a phenomenal report all the way around. I discount the tick up in
Unemployment Rate
because obviously all the people back into the labor market so you know, its ironic of course, like we have been talking about, where normally we get a great jobs report and the market would have a great reaction. Now theyre saying gosh, were not going to get the rate cut that maybe we expected in july and thats obviously making the market go down slightly this morning. So you know, its crazy. We get great news and the market reacts badly. Its short term and long term what this means is the economic fundamentals are still there and we are really excited that that is the case. David you mentioned rates. The tenyear treasury yield is now at 2. 02 . The question is, is the fed going to bail us out if things get bad. You know, thats the thing, david. Things are not bad right now. I just disagree, i know
President Trump
wants rate cuts. To his credit, he had seven rate cuts in two years of his administration so he deserves some help but the truth is the economy is still really strong. We might get a china trade deal so maybe its premature to cut rates this month. What do you think . I think so. David im going to be asking larry kudlow about this but you know what steve moore and other friends of that kudlow group think, which is that the fed is stuck in this idea that you cant have tremendous growth like we have been having without inflation. Those two things dont necessarily go together and the fed doesnt get it. Thats why they think rates should go down. What do you think . Thats right. I agree with you. The thing is, we have seen a lot of things that dont actually, you know, stand the traditional economic models we have had over the last hundred years. Negative
Interest Rates
for one is just a mind blower. But the fact is we cannot afford when the real recession does hit and it will hit eventually, economic cycles are cyclical, we cannot afford a weak, anemic federal funds rate of 1. 5 to 2 . Thats terrible. What are they going to do with that . How will that help us . We should save our rate cuts for when we really, really truly need them. David so when are you thinking . Obviously you dont think theres going to be one this month, even september, you say no. Any time at all in 2019 . Well, i think if the china trade deal goes south and we dont get a deal, then we are going to see some real results of that, and thats when we will need to have that power. David remember, theres an election coming up. I dont think this president will let that happen. Ni know. We need a good economy. David thank you very much. Now,
Southern California
was hit by a 6. 4 magnitude earthquake. Susan, you have the details . Susan scary news during the july 4th
Independence Day
celebrations. This is the largest earthquake since 1994 to hit
Southern California
. It looks like the epicenter was at ridgecrest, california. There are reports of injuries, fires, damaged homes but luckily, this is the great part of this story, no fatalities. 6. 4 magnitude. We do have seismologists warning that given that california sits on this fault line, we could see a second tremor, possibly in the next few days. Theres a 1 in 20 chance of that happening. Just to go back to 1994 for comparison, the 6. 7 earthquake, that left 72 people dead, more than 20 billion in damages. Lets see what the assessment is. David we hit on california and some of their crazy economic policies but their preparations are extraordinary for earthquakes. They have done an amazingly good job. Congratulations on that to them. Check the futures, if you will. Despite the great
Economic News
, the markets are generally down. They are fearing there wont be a rate cut which they kind of worked in a little bit on wednesday. Thats why we had that huge pop, record day on wednesday. Doesnt look like its going to be that way today when the market opens in about 20 minutes. But it is a big day for amazon. They are turning 25 years old, started as an online bookstore. Remember that . Grown to a tech empire. Can you imagine right now susan without amazon . David life without amazon . I cant. I absolutely cant. We will get into all of what amazon has done for the country and the world. Meanwhile,
President Trump
had a huge night last night, holding his salute to america fourth of july celebration. It did not get too political, as everybody on the left said it was going to be. Kept it about our extraordinary military, our history, the amazing people that made this country the great country it is, but he is still facing a ton of criticism from the left. Were on that. Also criticizing the president , joe biden. Hes saying he could beat
President Trump
by pointing out his racist policies. You will hear it after this. Driverless cars. All ground personnel. Or trips to mars. 4. 95. Delivery drones or the latest phones. 4. 95. No matter what you trade, at fidelity its just 4. 95 per online u. S. Equity trade. David futures dont like a terrific jobs report, it appears. They are down in premarket. This is amazon in particular. Amazon is celebrating an anniversary today. We will tell you about that later. The
Dow Jones Industrials
down about 118 right now. S p is down by a greater amount percentagewise. The nasdaqs the worst performer in premarket activity. That could change as investors begin to realize the effect of so many more people coming into the work force. Thats why the unemployment number ticked up despite the big jobs numbers. 335,000 people coming back into the work force. That is a huge number. Now this. President trump held his salute to america event on the
Washington Mall
. Hoor heres a clip of his speech. From the banks of the chesapeake to the cliffs of california, from the humming shores of the great lakes to the sand dunes of the carolinas, from the fields of the heartland to the everglades of florida, the spirit of americas independence will never fade, never fail, but will reign forever and ever and ever. David come in, larry oconnor,
Washington Times
associate editor. I heard the rain kept you away from the mall but i looked at those pictures, there were still it looked full to me. It was a huge turnout. David i never get tired of hearing about the spirit of america. Some people on the left said not only is that oldfashioned but its also veering to the fascists when you add in all the military hardware. I didnt see it that way at all. Did you . No. And i think most americans didnt. Its true, i didnt want to trudge down there with my kids in the rain. I did better. I watched it on fox. Listen, this is what the president often sort of traps his opponents into. They start screaming with those stupid histrionic accusations about what the president is going to do, they said youre right, it was going to be a north korea style military dictatorship show, that he was going to turn it political. Any normal american tuning in and watching that speech and the demonstration last night just saw what we all saw, the president of the
United States
presiding over a celebration of our independence. If the military is involved, thats a great thing because the military helped secure our independence and continues to keep us free and safe. Why not tip your hat to that. David absolutely. A lot of the participants seemed to be sorry there werent more tanks. They did focus on the air display which were spectacular. All of the forces which had an air contingent, i think this is the blue angels displayed at the last moment. Extraordinary. Incredible. My heart belongs to the blue angels because my daughters at the naval academy. All the branches were well represented. Youre right. Listen, anybody tuning into this, even the people who were criticizing the appearance of the tanks, they all say they loved flyovers. Can you explain that to me . Why is it okay to see military flying over your head but not on the ground . Let the army and marines have some fun, too. David joe biden slamming the president , listen to what he said. Roll this. I beat him by just pointing out who i am and who he is and what were for and what hes against. This guy is a divider in chief. This guy is acting with racist policy. This guy is moving to foment hate. Thats the only way he can sustain himself. David the racist charge, kind of a deflection, im sensing. Are you . Listen, he just endured
Kamala Harris
and other democrats at the debate calling his policies racist over the last 40 years and of course hes been talking about how well he worked with segregationists. You know whats really sad and tired about this, this is the exact same argument
Hillary Clinton
used in 2016, david. If the
American People
werent buying it then, the democrats have to come up with what theyre for and what their policies are and after todays jobs numbers, its going to get harder and harder. Whats joe biden supposed to say . Hey, come on back to the good old days of barack obama and joe biden for those eight years where we had economic stagnation and low job numbers . Thats not a winning argument. I guess hes got to come up with something. The
American People
have now lived with several years of
President Trump
and they know its not the horrible picture that
Hillary Clinton
painted and its not the picture joe biden is painting now. David they talk about this president , the democrats talk about this president focusing too much on theyre just focusing on the past. Its just constant focusing on the past, the worst of america, not the best of america. Its extraordinary. All right. Great point. David great to see you. Thank you very much. Happy july 4th day after. Heres a look at the futures. They are moving lower on that extraordinarily positive jobs report but they are tempering a little bit. It was down a little more earlier in the morning. Of course, the fact we had a great jobs number makes the prospect of a rate cut a little less likely. Later this hour, mr. Larry kudlow joining us live. We are going to get his take on the jobs report. Also, i want to know if he can give us an update on the trade talks with china. Hes been teasing us with those for the past week or so. And a new law on the books in new york state, letting
Illegal Immigrants
get a drivers license. One county clerk in upstate new york says hes going to refuse to issue those licenses to illegals. He is actually driving down here from upstate new york to be on the show. Hes going to make it 11 00 and we have more after this. Hmm. Exactly. Liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Nice. But, uh. Whats up with your. Partner . Not again. Limu thats your reflection. Only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty,
Liberty David
check the futures. We just got this spectacular jobs report for the month of june in so many ways, but stocks are down. The prospect of a rate cut now a little less likely. Come in, david dietze, point view wealth management. What do you think . Put this into context. We still have a very strong economy, very strong labor market. I mean, we were up 174 points on wednesday, the day before the holiday. Now were down less than that. Lets not jump off a cliff quite yet. This is still good news for the economy. David we still cant ignore the possibility, susan, of a rate cut. Susan fed funds futures still pricing in high probability of that happening in this month. David even after the jobs report. Susan even after the jobs report. David okay. Lets see what the market does when we reopen. We are going to come right back. We have about five minutes until the open of the markets. Going to be an exciting day. Stick around. indistinguishable muttering that was awful. Why are you so good at this . Had a coach in high school. Really helped me up my game. I had a coach. Math. Ooh. So, why dont traders have coaches . Who says they dont . Coach mcadoo you know, at td ameritrade, we offer free access to coaches and a full education curriculum just to help you improve your skills. Boom mad skills. Education to take your trading to the next level. Only with td ameritrade. Who used expedia to book the

Liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Nice. But, uh. Whats up with your. Partner . Not again. Limu thats your reflection. Only pay for what you need. Liberty, liberty, liberty,
Liberty David<\/a> check the futures. We just got this spectacular jobs report for the month of june in so many ways, but stocks are down. The prospect of a rate cut now a little less likely. Come in, david dietze, point view wealth management. What do you think . Put this into context. We still have a very strong economy, very strong labor market. I mean, we were up 174 points on wednesday, the day before the holiday. Now were down less than that. Lets not jump off a cliff quite yet. This is still good news for the economy. David we still cant ignore the possibility, susan, of a rate cut. Susan fed funds futures still pricing in high probability of that happening in this month. David even after the jobs report. Susan even after the jobs report. David okay. Lets see what the market does when we reopen. We are going to come right back. We have about five minutes until the open of the markets. Going to be an exciting day. Stick around. indistinguishable muttering that was awful. Why are you so good at this . Had a coach in high school. Really helped me up my game. I had a coach. Math. Ooh.

Vacation Rental<\/a>s. Expedia. Everything you need to go. David now this. Samsung says its profits are going to decline because of slowing chip demand in the trade war with china. Youve got more details . Susan samsung is the
Worlds Largest<\/a> smartphone seller but 75 of their operating profits actually come from selling chips, memory chips. Because of the ongoing trade war, huawei and the like cant get access to a lot of these components, theyre not buying as much. In fact, they probably stockpiled a lot of these purchases so samsung says quarterly profit is going to fall more than 50 , 50 , in the
Second Quarter<\/a> of this year. So headaches for them when it comes to chips. Also the smartphone, of course, the galaxy fold, they had to take that back, fix it. David but the interesting thing is that our chip folks, they are down a little, we just showed the chip numbers in u. S. Companies, they are down a little because everything is down a little today but they have been doing pretty well. In fact, they have been having some record highs in some cases. Susan
Philadelphia Semiconductor<\/a> index actually hit a record this year. Its just down a little bit in the last few months. Absolutely. I think the fact that theres a relaxation of the prohibitions against trading with huawei has helped our chips, of course. And certainly, the truce that was announced from last week as talks with president xi has also helped boost the semiconductor. On average, actually this is a great place to invest. I would recommend intel, full disclosure, we own because this is about everything,
Artificial Intelligence<\/a> david the granddaddy in chips. Plus you have a nice dividend. David here is the market. We have started trading and we are doing a little better than we were before. Now its down triple digits. Right around that 100 mark to the downside on the dow. We see three greens and a lot of reds, but the reds arent down too much. Again, we had this blockbuster jobs number this morning. Not only showing that we had many more jobs created than we thought we were going to create but we also had a lot of people coming into the job market that had been sitting on the sideline. 335,000 people came back into the work force. In fact, thats why the
Unemployment Rate<\/a> ticked up a little bit. Thats actually very good news. Little disappointment on the wage numbers, as david was just talking about, but david, it wasnt much, just down one tick less than expected. We still have over 3. 1 wage growth for the year. Yeah. Im actually seeing a little bit of goldilocks here because we have some strength in terms of the job creation, but were not seeing the inflation which really pushed the fed back into the recesses because it was only 3. 1 but its still reasonable. I think we might have the best of both worlds where were seeing still reasonable strength in the u. S. Economy but i dont think the feds out of play for the end of july. Susan i dont think so either. Right now fed funds futures are pointing to the lowest expectations for 50bips later this month david basis points. Susan basically 25 basis point cuts, quarter point cuts, still on the table. In fact, highly likely according to feds funds futures despite the fact this is a blowout jobs report. David the economy added 224,000 jobs in june. Come in, jonathan hoenig, capital
Pig Hedge Fund<\/a> manager. I always hesitate to say that. But thats the name of your group. Of course, david dietze, who forgive us, we didnt introduce you, nor did we introduce susan li properly. Welcome to all of you here. Jonathan, we havent heard your reports on the jobs report which i thought was spectacular. It is a spectacular report. And you know what, the market has at least in the last couple of weeks loved it. The trend is higher for stocks even friday, about 260 new 52week highs, only 60 52week lows. What worries me, i think it pays investors to be worried, especially when the
Financial News<\/a> is good, is the narrowness of this advance. The average stock that is a
Small Cap Stock<\/a> this year is actually down by about 5 . In fact, the install caps are trailing large caps by about 13 , one of the biggest margins since 1999. Look, im not a cassandra, im not saying sell everything but take a page, as i said before, from warren buffett. Be greedy when others are fearful, fearful when others are greedy. The fact the news is so good right now, at the very least should give people cause to maybe pay down some of that
Consumer Debt<\/a> they have racked up in recent years. David i think jonathan is absolutely right. I will give another twist insofar as the fact that some of the smaller stocks have lagged i think gives investors a lot more opportunities. Small stocks are populated by financials and so forth. We are seeing today strength in financial stocks because frankly, they need slightly higher rates in order to turn a buck. I think the fact we are starting to see some broadening here is actually good news for investors and for the economy. David susan, we were talking about inflation before. The fact you have 335,000 more people coming into the work force means
Inflation Expectations<\/a> are down even more. Susan thats right. David that gives less excuse to the fed to keep
Interest Rates<\/a> high. Susan well, yes. I also want to celebrate the female participation, by the way. David extraordinary. Susan decade high so far this year which is fantastic, for working women, of 25 to 50. But i would say the
Inflation Expectations<\/a> were 3. 1 wage gains, still capped. I think that still gives room for the
Federal Reserve<\/a> to cut
Interest Rates<\/a> this month and in fact, its a communications game when it comes to the central bank. They telestrated this. The markets anticipating this. They cant disappoint. David having said that, what happens to the market, i will go to you, jonathan, what happens to the market if there is no rate cut before say september . David, the long story short is i dont know. It is so david you are paid to know, jonathan, not to not know. I will say one thing. What i look at is big fundamental trends. Oftentimes those trends continue regardless of what is even happening with the
Federal Reserve<\/a>. So susan mentioned inflation. One trend i know i would take advantage of regardless of what the fed does is higher gold prices. Gold is at a sixyear high. David just came down today, by the way. Of course. But youve got to look at those longterm trends. If i was looking for one area with my own portfolio, we are doing it at capitalist pig. Com, looking at those assets that can do well if the u. S. Dollar falls. Gold is one. David the problem with gold is that it just sits there. It just sits there. I think thats right. I think the key thing of course is the fact that the gold is retreating today. Shows no inflation risk there. In terms of what it does, even if it doesnt cut the end of july, its all about the messaging. This is how
Jerome Powell<\/a> will earn the big bucks. Hes got to negotiate perhaps just delaying a rate hike or excuse me, rate cut until september or december. Susan going into this jobs report, i want to point out the fed funds futures have priced in 60 probability we will get three
Interest Rate<\/a> cuts this year. David thats bold. Susan thats going to be pared back. We should point out the revisions were lower in the previous months job numbers. If the trend holds true,
Interest Rates<\/a> in this country will be going much, much lower. You look throughout europe, certainly asia, its hard to find positive yield anywhere you go. I think as the panel has pointed out, its likely to continue. David lets take a quick look at the big board. Down 123 right now. 126. The trend is not your friend in terms of where the dow is going now. Lets take a look at bitcoin. Gold is way down. I suspect bitcoin is going to be down as well, as indeed it is, down about 512. Its extraordinary, just a typical day for bitcoin. Its down 512. 500 now. 11,171 for bitcoin. A check on oil. We heard somebody in the last hour, i guess it was was it andrew . At any rate, he was saying that oil would be down to 40 a barrel if it wasnt for the venezuelan and iranian embargoes on oil. Even though its basically flat now at 57 a barrel, if those embargoes ever come off of venezuela and iran oil, you can expect a further drop. That might not be for some time. The
National Average<\/a> for a gallon of regular gas is now 2. 75. Now this. Soybean farmers are very worried about the u. S. china trade war after american soybean exports to china plunged 74 . David, i want to go to you first. Soybean farmers are taking it on the chin here. They have 21 billion in exports, most of that is china. When china began to industrialize and have more money to buy things like pigs and chicken, they really expanded the soybean market. Our farmers focused on china and now they are
Stuck Holding<\/a> an empty bag. Its a real tragedy for the farm belt because over the last 20 years, as you pointed out, theres been a huge migration of acreage from wheat into soybeans and the key customs word china. And now of course the rug has been pulled right out from them. The
Trump Administration<\/a> is trying to help in terms of subsidies and so forth, i think 12 billion last year, 16 billion this year but it doesnt really stop the problem. I think the
Silver Lining<\/a> of course is it underscores the pressure thats on the administration to cut a deal quickly with china. David jonathan, you know its not just about the farmers. There are all these ancillary industries and so forth that have helped our farmers to grow their market share with china. For example, railroads have spent 6 billion in this country increasing and modernizing lines that lead from the farmers to the exporters, and its really hurting not just the farmers that have 21 billion in export sales but also a whole lot of other industries that depend on this. I would love to hear you bring some of this up with mr. Kudlow. David i will. About how the tariffs are working. But they have really tremendously destroyed these farmers trade relationships that david i wouldnt say destroyed. I dont think they are irreperable. 90 down in terms of soybeans exports is pretty big. David no doubt. The president can come up with tariffs but the point that should be made is trade is always a winwin relationship. The president has said time and time again we are being taken advantage of by china, these soybean farmers certainly wouldnt say that. They have built profitable careers by selling to china and tariffs have disrupted that tremendously. Susan biggest cultural export to china, that has tripled in the last two decades and because of these trade tariffs, you know, the u. S. Has now ceded their market share, its down to 31 of global soybean david we have switched with brazil in terms of who has more dominance in china. Stay right there. Well be right back. Quick check of the big board. The dow is now down 124 points. We have been showing this video all week. A conservative journalist brutally attacked by antifa thugs in portland, oregon. Coming up, we talk to a former antifa member who says his former
Organization Must<\/a> be stopped. You will definitely want to hear from him next hour. First, we are going to hear from larry kudlow. Any moment, we will get his reaction to the jobs report and i want to know what he thinks about the president s new fed nominee, judy shelton. Shes a gold bug. Is the president . Peter navarro, white house director of trade and manufacturing policy, joins me live on bulls bears at 5 00 p. M. Eastern. Dont miss it. More after thchlt this. With tough food, your dentures may slip and fall. Fixodent ultramax hold gives you the strongest hold ever to lock your dentures. So now you can eat tough food without worry. Fixodent and forget it. All right brad, once again i have revolutionized the songwriting process. Oh, here we go. I know i cant play an instrument, but this. This is my forte. Obviously, for
Auto Insurance<\/a>, weve got the wheel route. Obviously. Retirement, were going with a longterm play. Makes sense. Pet insurance, wait, let me guess. Flea flicker. Yes howd you know . Studying my playbook . Yeah, actually. David lets check the big board. Its down 138. Check the
Big Tech Companies<\/a> that we follow every day. We have alphabet actually trading positive a little bit and they are all down less than a percentage point. Its not a big hit for big tech. Now this mad magazine will stop publishing new content after 67 years on the newsstands. Susan so sad. Saying goodbye. Thats right. Starting with issue number 10 which goes on sale in october, the magazine will be available only in comic book stores from now on or it will be mailed directly to subscribers like you, for instance. David im not a subscriber but i do pick it up at the newsstand when i see it. I love mad magazine. Susan there is alfred e. Neuman, who the president tweeted after mayor pete buttigieg, doesnt he look like him. I didnt know who he was. David he doesnt want to admit he looks like him. Its that simple. We will be very sad to see mad magazine go. Amazon talking about anniversaries and such, turns 25 years old today. Back to our market team. Jonathan, david, susan, i cant remember a time without amazon now. Im so accustomed to it. Arent you . Absolutely. Jeff bezos, of course, rock star ceo, has expanded from just selling books, now they sell everything. Theres almost nothing you cant buy on amazon. Its all delivered to your door. Hats off for them on their 25th. Susan the company was started in 1994 with just 10,000 in seattle and its grown, yes, it controls over half of the ecommerce market but dont forget, cloud is their largest growing component as well. Thats where all the growth is coming from, advertising, they are getting into everything. You know, if jeff bezos had to take 50 initial meetings to raise the money from those
High Net Worth<\/a> investors just to start amazon because people said oh, youre going to take on borders, barnes noble. David i did a show called americas nightly scoreboard many years ago and he was one of my first guests. Kind of a
Small Company<\/a> at that time. Susan is being nasty here, i wont respond to that. At that time, you could already see that he had this vision of the future that far extended where he was. He is one of the most visionary entrepreneurs in america, is he not . Thats it. He has a vision and he made it happen. Thats why jeff bezos has become a multi, multi billionaire, richest man in the world. Hes changed the world, changed it for the better. All of us have amazon boxes stacked up in our homes. The whole world is available to us. Thats thanks to the true visionaries, capitalist visionaries, only in america can these types of stories susan the question is always what happens if amazon gets into this industry. What happens to the players like groceries and pharmaceuticals. David my prediction, some day hes going to shake and make up with
President Trump<\/a>. Thats my prediction. Check the dow 30 stocks. Before we go to break, lets look at whats happening here. The big board is down 135 points. We now have lets see, two, four, five susan nike is up. David nike is up. We will talk about nike. Next, we are going to see what the white house is now saying about todays spectacular jobs report. My description of it. The one and only larry kudlow on the show after this. Wanna take your xfi to the next level . Now you can with xfi advantage. Giving you enhanced performance and protection. When devices are connected to your homes wifi, theyre protected. Helping keep outsiders from getting inside. And if someone tries, well let you know. So you can stream, surf and game all you want, with confidence you can get coverage where you need it most. Thats xfi advantage. Make your xfi even better. Upgrade today. Call, click or visit a store. David this is a reason to go hip, hip, hooray. Today is a reason to do it. The economy adding 224,000 jobs in june. Much more than expected. All these people came back into the labor force, 335,000 of them. Come in, larry kudlow,
National Economic<\/a>
Council Director<\/a>. Larry, its a big fat softball. What do you think of the jobs number . Thats a great number. I mean, we are in a strong prosperity cycle, point number one. Point number two, we have registered stronger
Economic Growth<\/a> with frankly less inequality. Thats something ive heard on campaign trail. Growth is faster, prosperity is stronger, inequality is less. The bottom parts of the work force, the nonsupervisory people are doing better than their supervisors. David point is its easier to hire a white
Collar Worker<\/a> than it is a blue collar. You try to get a blue
Collar Worker<\/a> and its much more difficult to hire him because theres such a full labor market there. Well, thats a good point, although there are a lot of people out there. Youre getting people coming out of the woodwork. I do want to say to my colleague ivanka
Trumps Campaign<\/a> to help reskill and retrain workers, i think july is some kind of worker employment month, but everythings a worker employment month around here, and look, i think that people should understand again, i dont know, for the 10,000th time in the last three or four decades, i will say and you know whats coming, more people working, more people succeeding, more people earning higher wages from their success, does not cause inflation. Let me repeat that. More people working does not cause inflation. Period. Full stop. David in other words, the fed doesnt get it. Well, look, im not im just going to say i think the fed is looking at it very carefully, and thats a good thing. I think the markets have been predicting that the fed will probably take back its december rate hike which was probably overbaked but its independent, i will act on their own time. But im just saying more fundamentally, we have to understand that with the right incentives, right, lower taxes, lower regulations, opening up energy, reforming international trade, with the right free market incentives that have been put in place by
President Trump<\/a> frankly, we are getting a tremendous economic takeoff. David but again, the fed thats a good thing, not a bad thing. And may i say on july 4th weekend, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and let me say, when the founders wrote that, david asman, they understood that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was not inflationary. David i dont think they said that in particular. But let me ask about
Jerome Powell<\/a>. He clearly does not have a history of recognizing that you can have great
Economic Growth<\/a> at low inflation. He sees them to be related in some way. Is that why he is keeping
Interest Rates<\/a> at a level that you guys think is a little too high . Well, look, im going to leave mr. Powell aside. Again, the fed is independent. They are working and puzzling through the same issues that everybody else is. So im confident or at least hopeful, but im confident the fed is going to get to the right place on this. David all right. Manufacturing numbers are up, thats great news, and again, it emphasizes or reemphasizes the point you have been making for a long time, you just made earlier, this is a blue collar recovery. Yeah. Thats whats so important. You know, we have done some work, nec, cea and others, we have looked at the distributions here and i know this is surfaced in some campaign debates and i appreciate and respect that discretion, but, but, but, but what were really seeing is the low end of the scale for education and skills is outperforming the high end. In terms not only of low unemployment, record low unemployment, you got to go back 50 or 60 years for some of these series, but also, in terms of the rate of increase of their wages which is so important. Im not saying their wages are higher than the supervissupervi im saying the increase is faster. Thats huge. We have not seen this, david, since really the mid to late 1980s during the reagan boom. This is a very important development. David all right. Lets talk china trade, if we can. You were talking earlier about facetoface meetings. What do you thinks going to come of that and specifically what about the chinese demand that before anything is signed, we have to remove all the tariffs . Well, couple things here. I dont want to get ahead of the curve. Telephone, telecommunications between the top people which began preosaka will continue, and i know they are working on coming up with a date for socalled facetoface meetings that will happen. I dont know if thats this coming week. I think the phone calls are this week. The facetoface may not be for another week but i dont want to get ahead of that curve. Its under negotiation which is a good thing. With respect to your second point on the tariffs, i think
President Trump<\/a> made it very clear in osaka to president xi that we would suspend any tariff increases on perhaps the last 300 billion, 325 billion worth of trade, but the current tariff structure will remain in place. There were no conditions for those talks and no conditionality for a deal. But, but the two sides just need to talk about a lot of details and i dont want to get ahead of that curve. David all right. Let me talk about the fed. We talked about the fed before, but about a nominee for the fed. Judy shelton, an old friend of yours and mine, we have known her for decades now, shes a gold bug. Im just wondering if the president is also a gold bug. Would he like to move to a
Gold Standard<\/a> . Well, i think you do judy a disservice by calling her a gold bug. David why . I dont think i dont think that look, judy has argued all these years for a steady, reliable dollar and i think thats exactly the right approach. Whether that is a link to gold or some kind of
Commodity Index<\/a> or whatever remains to be seen. Now, in our conversations with judy shelton, who is a brilliant woman and highly qualified, and has already been confirmed by the senate, as you know, shes our executive director for the
European Reconstruction Bank<\/a> and so forth, her biggest beef and i think youll see it in her writings and her interviews, wall street journal most recently, she wants to make the point that more people working and
Economic Growth<\/a> and should not be the feds focal point. That is her point. Our other nominee, by the ways none of the nominations are official until they go through the vetting process. I reckon you know that, but, mr. Chris waller from the st. Louis fed has similar point of view, as does president jim bullard, who dissented in the last fomc meeting. Lower unemployment, more people working is a good thing, not a bad thing. It does not cause inflation. That is where judy shelton stands. David have you ever heard the president talk postively about going to a
Gold Standard<\/a> . Well, look, in the last 20 years i interviewed him many times on tv and radio. I had a lot of conversations with him. I think he himself showed some interest in gold. That is not the main mission right now. David i get it. The main mission, let me, remove obstacles to growth. To remove obstacles to growth. Some of those obstacles may be garbage in, garbage out economic models. Other obstacles are excessively high taxes and regulations for example. That is where the president s head and actions are going to remain. Again todays jobs numbers which beat all expectations show you, that those kinds of free market incentive policies work and we are in a prosperity cycle which is going to continue. David larry you can get rid of all the economic jargon. It is so simple, it is economic bumper sticker, remove obstacles growth. You just said it, if you remove obstacles to growth it will grow. There is no. 250 years ago the founders talked about this, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness remove obstacles to growth. Thats those guys were very smart. We should celebrate them on daily basis. David i have to tell you about another person i know, art laffer, who knew everything you were talking about long ago, talked about it back in the 1970s. Art was given the medal of freedom and we were very happy to be down there to join him in celebrating that but he came under all this criticism afterwards. Steve rattner, all these other socalled economists have been speaking against him saying he is one of the worst economists of all time. What do you make of that . I dont make anything of it. I dont even any bit. Arthur laffer is a great man. Arthur laffer revolutioned economics in last 50 years. Reduced the whole incentive model. If it pays more to work, save, invest and take risk, people will do more all of the above. He has opponents. Live goes on. It is toxic atmosphere. He is a great man, deserving of this phenomenal award. Revolutionized the economics profession. You have a few outlyers, ankle biters, who will never come around. That is their problem, not arts problem. President trump never once hesitated in our discussions about giving the president ial medal of freedom to art laffer. Never did the president hesitate. The president himself. At the ceremony, you have a lovely picture there. With potus putting the medal around arts neck. He said he studied supplyside econmics when he was a student at the university of pennsylvania. He never flinched. That is to his great credit. Art laffer has never flinched. I never flinched, you david asman a whole bunch of ours never flinched. When you make a revolution, whether intellectual revolution, whatever, it may not be easy, everybody may not come on board. I will tell you this, because of laffers work the economics profession changed in very significant ways. The notion of incentives is now here to stay. That is a wonderful thing. And that is why art is so deserving that award. David incentives matter. So do you as well. Larry kudlow, great to see you my friend. Thanks, david. Appreciate it. David lets check the big board. Concerns whether the fed will be lowering rates at all because of the spectacular jobs number. Good news is bad news to the market today. That may change. This is kind of a kneejerk reaction. Sometimes take as weekend to think over, to digest, you may come out roaring on monday. Come in john allison, chief investment officer. John you heard my interview with larry kudlow. What do you think . Well i think the first part of your interview, david, had to do with china and i think larry was talking around the issue of tariffs and what the deal might be but in the middle of all this i think is something very, very important. I think trump made an important concession on huawei. It looks like a throwaway. We think that is actually much more important than people realize. It is the thing that will restart the negotiations. From our point of view, i think actually contrary to what i even thought a few weeks ago i think these negotiations can proceed at a much faster pace now that this huawei thing has been taken off the table as an obstacle. I think in the middle of what larry kudlow was saying on china, i think that is sort of the gem in the middle of the whole thing. David i think youre right. Yeah. Then as far as some of the other things, the steady dollar and so on, so forth, i am much more skeptical about trying to steady currencies. I think we learned over 50 years it is much better to let the markets determine where currencies are and if i had to make a bet i would say well continue to do that. Finally on art laffer, i know him personally as welshes the key point he made is correct, that laffer pointed out the importance of incentives, supply side of the equation, not just the demand side. The only thing i would disagree with larry or anybody who says the only thing you need to do is have growth, the only thing you need to do is have healthy growth. Unhealthy growth can lead to financial crises. It is important for us to keep our eye on the ball, we dont for example, get growths put on piles of debt based on poor companies that is my basic take. David or poor economic policies theyre looking at negative
Interest Rates<\/a>. Christine lagarde head of european monetary union. That is a problem where you think the central bank will not rescue the economy, without doing things like lowering taxes, cost of regulations, lowering productions. Negative
Interest Rates<\/a> may lower it for the wrong reasons, right . Theyre in a dilemma and that is why you have the negative
Interest Rates<\/a> as you point out, a lot of other things you talk about incentives, less regulation, so on, so forth is not being addressed as much interest and as much energy as we have over here. I think if europe did that there is a huge amount of talent to be released in europe. Were bullish on europe if it can get out of its own way which has been the problem. David john allison, thank you very much, my friend. Thanks for being here. Appreciate it, thank you. David yesterday the president gave a speech encouraging unity and patriotism in his 4th of july salute to america. The media kind of twisted it into something very different. Listen to this. I heard nothing in the speech where this country should be going, what we should working on, some of the problems we need to fix. That is what we lean on a commanderinchief president for. His speechwriters are not the best in the business. Other president ial speech writing teams have been a whole lot better. Let me see, be subtle, professional level of
National Security<\/a> i hated it. On personal level i hated hit even more. Stupid dispute politics whether nike put as flag on a shoe. Can we actually have a day with hamburgers, hot dogs, a few beers without a politician . David come in
Fox News Contributor<\/a> tammy bruce. Reaction to cnns individual rei dont believe . Nothing but pure vitriol coming out of them . Theyre poisoned by hate. There is no normal explanation for this behavior. Nature what they think about. In fact yesterdays speech was one of his best. We know the normandy speech was extraordinary. The state of the
Union Speeches<\/a> have received bipartisan praise as well. Yet they continue to want to paint a man that doesnt exist and it is not as though were only reliant on what they describe. I think a lot of the news media is used to us relying on them for the reality of things. Now we have different media. People are watching the speech. If they dont air a speech which the
Major Networks<\/a> did not do, were still able to see it online, whether social media platform or from the white house itself. So i think it was not only an extraordinary speech but it really did have a reflection about president is supposed to tell us where were headed. Clearly this president has reformed this nation already. It is moving, it was optimistic speech. Unifying, remarkably unifying speech. I think at this point legacy media is speaking to an empty room. They were talking about the tone of the speech, suggesting that it was sophomore i can. There is something corny about being patriotic. I would suggest, there is book im reading, new
David Mccullough<\/a> book. Sure. David the pioneers, postrevolutionary pioneers those who went west into ohio, to explore areas completely unknown. There is nothing corny about
David Mccullough<\/a>. He gets into the nittygritty, historical details. These were extraordinary individuals but cnn would say it is sophomoric and corny. Those people didnt go to harvard. This is point of view of contempt on the nation itself. We cant deny they dont like us. It seemed to be apparent in the 2016 election. They swung the curtain where they dont like the president because he is representation of us. David thats right. I think that is the core of this problem. At same time the
American People<\/a> know what is needed. We saw with the job numbers today, with wage growth. Optimism, that consumes us at foreign policy, that is managing tyrant around the world. I think the
American People<\/a> see what the truth of the matter is. David i wonder if these people who are so smart they can criticize american patriotism as something corny and sophomoric really know the history . I think theyre ignorant exactly what these people have done. That is why each one of them, i would pay out of my own pocket to buy each one of those critics a copy of
David Mccullough<\/a>s book. Theyre not interested that is passe. The problem they dont realize they have been left behind. Theyre scrambling at this point. It is unfortunate. I dont like the fact, it is sad as an american so many people are consumed with this poison. It will be up to them to get out of it. David that is the word, it is poison. The census issue, had a back and forth where that is going. What do you think what the president is saying about that . There is already one report of a former federal judge saying look with article 2, the president would likely be upheld very strongly by the
Supreme Court<\/a> of his right to do this. And, this is clearly a question. Also that has not been not on the census. This is something that was also included during
Barack Obamas<\/a> terms within that larger census, the american survey, about if you were a citizen. It has been on recently. So, we need to be able to do this. It is clearly a question that is relevant to the economy and to safety and to just the nature of who is in the country. This is something of interest, not to the executive branch but to the people as a whole. I think he is going to act. That is his nature. It will be i think a good action to take. David have good july fourth. It was fabulous. Im grateful, every time i wake up in the nation. Most people are. It is exciting time to be an american. David thank you, tammy, very much. President trump and chinas xi xinping agree to a new trade truce but new figures showing 50 of the chinese consumers are avoiding buying
American Goods<\/a> to show support for china. We have details. We brought you a poll last week, extreme pride in america at 18year low. How bad is it on
College Campuses<\/a> . We have campus retomorrows
Cabot Phillips<\/a> with that. The ai i want . Well, insurance its all about trust and speed. I need it to guide this analyst to customize
Flood Coverage<\/a> for this house. So that this team, can inform this couple, that their payment will arrive faster than this guy. Hey. So whether im processing claims due to this fine gentleman. car engine starting or suggesting premiums for this young lady. Ai can help change everything at this company. Expect more from ai. Ibm watson. David checking the big board, the market down 140 points. The market is worried there may be a push against the rate cut at the meeting this month. Well see what happens. Meanwhile the s p 500 is down as well, by a little more percentagewise. The biggest downer is the nasdaq, although that actually improved percentage wise a little bit right now. It is down about 54 point to 8115. Yesterday the president talked about how americans gained their independence at his salute to america event. Listen to what the president had to say about king george yesterday. Days later general washington ordered the declaration read aloud to the troops, assembled soldiers just joined. An excited crowd running down broadway. They toppled the statute of king george, melted it into bullet for battle. The far away king, would soon learn a timeless es lesson about the people of this majestic land. Americans love our freedom and no one will ever take it away from us. [cheers and applause] david our next guest wrote a book about the takedown of king george. Joining me, utah senator mike lee. Your book is called, our lost declaration. How so . How do you think it is lost . It is lost in the sense we neglected our principles, the principles
Frederick Douglass<\/a> said was saving. That we americans are great not who we are, but because what we do. We choose to recognize every human soul has worth. That those are the principles emembodied in the declaration of independence. We have forgotten over time. This is not about the government. It is about the people. David you suggest that the our fight against tyranny didnt end against king george, what were discovering about the deep state, an ongoing continuing fight against tyranny. Thats right. I wrote our lost declaration. I want to reunite the
American People<\/a> with the principles that helped found our country. One of the things i point out in at our lost declaration, over time we found even when tyranny doesnt wear a crown or sit on a throne it can still exist. It can take hold in
Constitutional Republic<\/a> like ours. Where people neglect the constitutional protections that are there in order to protect their freedom. We picture frame the declaration is sort of the picture itself. That is with were trying to protect. David you dead get a democrat. You went across aisles to write a blurb, he is a moderate democrat, joe manchin. It can work on both sides of the aisle, that concern, right . Oh, it certainly can. Look freedom is neither republican nor democratic, neither liberal nor conservative. It is simply an american ideal. An american ideal says were going to restrain power. Well recognize power belongs to the people. It cant be exercised against them without their consent. David in a perfect, i think what is happening at the border where you have the
American People<\/a> very concerned, it is number one issue of concern for voters right now is immigration yet democrats spent a full year denying it even existed. Now the department of homeland security, there is a new story, it is investigating a secret
Facebook Group<\/a> that some
Border Patrol<\/a> agents may have been a part of. So there is concern on both sides of the aisle whats happening in our attempts to get some kind of order at the border. What is your thoughts on the latest on all this . Well look, governments are run by human beings. Human beings while redeemable are flawed, theyre fallible, they make mistakes. This is why we need to keep our government manageable by the people. We need to make sure that the government always serves the people and not the other way around. And that is yet another one of the point i make in our lost declaration. The minute people relanguish control over the government bad things start to happen. We need to recognize the signs and symptoms of an overly active government, figure out how to rein it in. Our loss declaration helps us identifies. David the president recreated some of the scenes that happened right after the declaration of independence happened. Colonel john nixon, most people dont know that name, he was one of the town criers actually read out to the people what the declaration was. Describe, we got to go, quickly describe that scene. When the people realized, when they were informed of what had happened, they realized we no longer had a king. They didnt have the internet, television, fox news, fox business, but people came out and read aloud these words. Those words are timely today. That is why we remember them in this book. David amazing to think back about how that actually played out. Senator mike lee, great to see you, congratulations on the book. Thank you for coming here. Thank you. David cashless trend is growing around the world. Some countries are even expecting to be completely cashless by 2023. Can you imagine america without cash . You could be surprised by just how many of us think well be ditching cash in the near term. And earlier this week i spoke to conservative writer andy gno after he was an tacked by antifa rally in portland. Later this hour we have a former member of antifa. I will ask him why he left. We call it the mother standard of care. Its something we take personally, and believe in passionately. Its the idea that if our mothers were diagnosed with cancer, how would we want them to be treated . Thats exactly how we care for you. With answers and actions. To hear your concerns, quiet your fears, lift your spirits. With teams of cancer experts and specialists, delivering advanced
Treatment Options<\/a> and compassionate support every step of the way. All here in one place, with one purpose. To fight your cancer, together. Thats the mother standard of care. This is how we inspire hope. This is how we heal. Cancer
Treatment Centers<\/a> of america. Appointments available now. David not much of a change on the big board. It is down 160 points. Still not enough to completely eliminate the gains we had on wednesday when we reached those record highs. It is all reaction to the jobs numbers which was very good by the way. Revenue continuing to grow topping 39 billion in the first half of 2019 for apple, susan. They are a money machine. Susan they are indeed. This is up 15 from last year. Apples app store dominates google. Made 86 more in cash. Talking about 25 billion for apples app store. Guess what the number one app is . David i cant even begin. Susan might surprise you. Might not last. It is called tinder. It is a dating app. They made half a billion dollars so far in app subscriptions. Number two david aging hormones of millenials spending its money on. Susan this was number one last year. This changed their apps, meaning you cant buy inapp subscriptions so their dollar amount went down, but in downloads, three apps still most downloaded, whatsapp, facebook, from what i see, and instant messenger. Instagram was beat out by a new app called tick cob. David virtually nobody in the globe, from africa, china, doesnt know whats app. Susan china they dont use. Susan china uses we chat. David suggest like chip demand and china trade war. Susan what does this mean . Susan samsung is warning quarterly profits will be down 50 . Samsung is the
Worlds Largest<\/a> smartphone shipper because their smartphones cost less than say apple but theyre one of the
Worlds Largest<\/a> chipmakers. Chips make up 75 of their offering profit. Because of that ongoing trade war, names like huawei is not buying as many components as they used to. So that is hurting a same like samsung. They havent diversified into faster ram, dram, gaming chips. They will shift away from the memory space, betting more of david meanwhile our concession or viewed as concession to china on way hua mei be a huge bonus for our chipmakers. Our chipmakers may be able to sell to huawei. Susan each year. David susan, thank you very much. President trump and chinas xi xinping may have agreed to a trade truce at the summit last week but new data showing support for
American Companies<\/a> in china is lagging and many chinese consumers are avoiding buying
American Goods<\/a> whatsoever. What is up with that . We have numbers for you. California giving waymo the green light to transport passengers in selfdriving cars. Would you take a ride in one of these . Well have more after this. My experience with usaa has been excellent. They really appreciate the military family and it really shows. With all that usaa offers why go with anybody else . We know their rates are good, we know that theyre always going to take care of us. It was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. It was funny because when we would call another
Insurance Company<\/a>, hey would say oh we cant beat usaa were the webber family. Were the tenneys were the hayles, and were usaa members for life. Get your usaa
Auto Insurance<\/a> quote today. Susan my request twist and shout. David that is old one. One of the original ones. That was on meet the beatles, that album. Susan yeah. David this is revolution. This is the slow version. They have several versions. Susan my goodness, theyre playing, revolution. Ashley has been calling this every day. David he got sick during his moment in the sun. That was not in the beatles. That wah wah was to something we threw in there. The dow is down 176 points. We had big moves on a holiday week. We usually dont have big moves. But we had a big up move on wednesday, and a big down move today because of the jobs numbers came out t was so good, it is making people in the marketplace a little nervous. A new survey showing that 56 of chinese consumers say they avoided buying
American Products<\/a> to show their support for china. Joining me now is
Brunswick Group<\/a> partner robert moran. Now, robert, im not sure you can trust polling in a police state. I mean you ask a chinese person on the street, you know, if they think
American Goods<\/a> are bad, they are worried about who they are reporting to, right . Well, we have conducted research in both the u. S. And china on the eve of the g20 and our research has been heavily covered in the media and it does check out. It is good data. David how can you be sure theyre not going to be nervous this information will be passed on to the secret police, and that they will get a knock on the door in the middle of the night . Well i think the audience should know that the fact is very large amount of
Opinion Research<\/a> is conducted in china currently. Heavily in the
Market Research<\/a> space of course. So
Opinion Research<\/a> is conducted routinely in china among chinese consumers. David how does it check out with the actual consumption when it takes place . Do you get, do you get trends even before they begin to show up in the marketplace . Well i dont think we have data on purchase trends in china right now as they have occurred over the last couple weeks but we should start to get data here sometime this summer from retailers responding how chinese consumers have or have not made purchases. You know our data suggests there is some level of potential boycotting on both sides of the pacific, with 56 of chinese consumers say they pulled back on chinese goods. 17 of americans say they pulled back from chinese goods. In america the numbers are tough for china. It is sort of, you see it on both sides. Only 44 of
American Consumers<\/a> say they trust
Chinese Companies<\/a> now. Thats down 12 just in the last eight months. So you can see the president s rhett rec having an impact on the perception of
Chinese Companies<\/a> as well. David of course all that could change if there is a chinese trade deal that is signed. Meanwhile cashless transactions, like apple pay and android pay, growing rapidly. Robert, is it possible we will become a completely
Cashless Society<\/a> . We heard about this for years . Yes. I think it is possible but i, i think its a long way off. What i think you will see is. You will see a significant drop in use of cash over time but it wont necessarily go away. When we invent new technologies, the
Old Technology<\/a> doesnt exactly evaporate. We use it for some things. We file technologies on top. There are things to think about. In 2011, 36 of americans said that they were cash dominant. They used cash all or most of the time. Today that is 24 according to gallup research. The country most advanced in this is sweden where only 13 of swedish consumers can actually recall the last time they used cash. David wow. A decade ago in sweden, 40 could. You see this all over the world, especially emerging markets, especially asia where people are replacing cash transactions with qr code transactions and similar. Because the technology is new, emerging markets can almost leapfrog in a sense using some of these newer technologies. David you know the thing that bothers me about cashless societies . Americans love anonymity of cash. There is always a paper trail using
Something Else<\/a>. There is no paper trail cash to cash. That anonymity can be very helpful. Bad people can use it to launder money. That is not a good thing. Very often in a restaurant situation, it is easier for both sides if you use cash, et cetera. It will take a while for that to completely wash out in our system. I think youre right you will see a rapid deterioration of use of cash. I dont think it will go away. You could almost say its a
Cashless Society<\/a> at some point, maybe five or 10 can even remember the last time they used cash but it can be used almost a fall back measure. I like cash. Robert moran, good to see you. Robert, thank you very much. Lets get an update on the magnitude 6. 4 earthquake that struck
Southern California<\/a>. The epicenter northeast of los angeles about 150 miles. Our own jeff paul on the ground in ridgecrest, california. What does it look like now . Reporter many of the people who live here in ridgecrest are still rattled. But theyre thankful that the damage from the powerful quake was not more widespread. We know one home further down the street hit pretty hard, a few minutes after that 6. 4magnitude earthquake hit. The homeowner says his house caught on fire. If you look at the video, you can see the moment the home out of control. This man, homeowner was out getting tea with his friends. He went home to see if his house was damaged. He saw broken windows. He went in his garage to check on classic cars, when he opened up the door he saw a wall of flames. What a 4th of july. I quickly forgot what the hell it was all together. It will be a bad day both an earthquake and a house fire that destroyed the house. Reporter fire
Officials Say<\/a> there were some other fires, ruptured gas lines, reports of mobile homes damaged or knocked off their foundations. So far the all reports are minor injuries. People were evacuated after the structures showed some possible signs of damages. They are checking that out right now. The concern now moving forward, what could happen next. There are reports of close to 200 aftershocks since the first earthquake hit yesterday around 10 30 a. M. Local time. I can tell you we felt several throughout the morning. As we were setting up for the first hit of the day, we felt the most powerful aftershock, magnitude 5. 4. David that is a big one. Jeff paul, thank you very much. Google scoring a big win for the selfdriving cars in california. Im still not sure i want to get in one of these. Susan it will be fun in the future. Google has gotten permission to transport passengers in the robotaxis. The
California Public<\/a>
Utilities Commission<\/a> i should stress is difficult from other
Government Department<\/a> basically given out shall we say licenses to test ride hailing in california. 60 companies have been given this. Waymo itself can in the south bay area in san francisco, of course can use their chrysler minivans in the future. They hope the jaguar electric cars to transport, starting with own employees to the waymo campus. Theyre doing this in arizona. They already have the
Robotaxi Service<\/a> up and running this is for corporate. Walmart is part of this as well, to shift their employees back and forth from the transit locations but waymo of course wants to expand that in the future, maybe across the country. David can you man these cars in the streets of new york with all of the stop and go and lane shifting or l. A. , for that matter . Forget about it. Susan uber has a selfdriving program as well. They say that will not be available in the next 20 years or so. Depends on the traffic situation. David maybe in a quiet, not as city suburban in location but not new york city. Quickly. Susan one point there is a still a safety driver behind the wheel. David coming up next, i talk to campus retomorrows
Cabot Phillips<\/a> the lack of patriotism among college students. He has a brand new video that is shocking. There is no word for it. That is coming up. New york state passing a law allowing
Illegal Immigrants<\/a> access to drivers license. A handful of county clerks upstate new york will not issue licenses. One of them is rensselear lear county clerk and he is on the show next hour.

Medicare Supplement<\/a> plan options and rates to fit your needs. Oh, and happy birthday. Or retirement. In advance. David check the markets. Were down over 200 points on the dow. Percentagewise, a little more on both the s p and the nasdaq. The good news in the economy, bad news in the markets, because of
Interest Rates<\/a> right now. And if you look at oil, that is about the only thing that is doing well. Partly because of the fact it, was doing well. It was, it is now down about 17 cents. It was due to go down a little more. Some people say it should be down to 40, when you take out iran and
Venezuela Oil<\/a> embargoes, that the price is too high. It is stablizing a bit the fact that the economy is doing well and
Economic Growth<\/a> in this country. Growth is taking it down on the chin. Biggest day down in a while. 28 to the downside. Gold is trading at 1392. 70 an ounce. We showed you this gallup poll on wednesday. Only 45 of adults say they are extremely proud to be an american. That is 18year low. I want to know what college kids are thinking about this country. The guys at campus reform found out. Watch this. There are some issues, i cant say yes im proud to be an american. That is not to say im not fortunate. I think we do as a country have a lot to be proud of but at the moment there are a lot more things we have to be ashamedded of. I think it is awful if someone says they arent proud to be american regardless who is in office. So im more proud honestly than ever. One of the most patriotic things a person can do, realize a lot of problems, help the problems and still love their country at the end of the day. David bring in the man himself,
Cabot Phillips<\/a>. Media director from campus reform. Did you see any glimmers of hope . I saw a glimmer of hope, what did you think. A few people stepped up, put their foot down, said despite that im proud. How we gotten to this point, young people are not proud to be an american. That is what in education. When you remove american exceptionalism from our courses the way it going on for year, people are less likely to think we have something worth defending if they dont know what it is ignorance breeds a lack of pride. It is also important to point out when you dont have the pride, youre more likely say fundamentally changed country. When you have the rise of socialism, rise of all these policies people say, that is not what america is about, if you dont know how good america is, you are more likely to support those policies. That is why we need this under control. It is considered antiintellectual, highbrow come out against america and cant be intellectual and patriotic. What is antiintellectual about having a firm grasp what happened in the world . There is nothing antiintellectual. I ask the students for specifics, many brought up the border crisis. When i look what is happening at the border, i cant be proud of our country. That is sign how
Great America<\/a> is, that so many people are trying to come here. You dont have hundreds of thousands of people risking their lives to headache it to sweden, norway, canada. They come to america. They know were a beacon of opportunity and freedom in this world. We need to keep it that way. Ironically enough people saying that is something to be ashamedded off, shows how good we have it. There are always problems in our country, but patriotic to
Work Together<\/a> to fix those. Not saying i cant be patriotic. David cabot, youre a good reporter, you like to focus what they think, without injecting yourself into the story, however, do you have after the cameras are off, push back say some of the things you told me, why you should be proud particularly what the rest of the world is like . Yeah. I try to get them thinking. Instead of me telling them to think. Try to get people to realize on their own, get the thought provoking questions going. Its interesting to point out, some people look at this, say a lot of young people are liberal, probably democrat it makes sense theyre not proud of country because there is not republican in office. Look at data, eight years of president obama, republicans no dip at all in patriotism. This past year of
President Trump<\/a>, democrats are largest segment of the society having a dip at level of patriotism. There is nothing patriotic not being proud of your country because after certain lead you are you dont like. The most patriotic thing to do as the guy in the video said
Work Together<\/a> to address problems, not lose pride, not lose what makes our country great. David bottom line, theyre not getting it on campus. Theyre not proud of what weve done, they dont know what weve done. Theyre not being told what weve done. And theyre not being told what happened with countries that have gone the wrong way, the way that we didnt go, namely those that are socialist. You know george orwell, wrote a book called, 1984. He said who he controls the past controls the future. Professors in
College Campus<\/a> realize that. They control the past, theyre not being open what that past has really done. I think it shows how important accountability is too. When it comes to this revisionist history being taught in class and schools, not only is history not being taught, the form of history being taught is the revisionist form, almost neomarxism, leninest point of view of the world. It is leading people to think america is force for evil throughout history. That is so important to keep our universities accountable, hold what is going on in classrooms accountable. David i happen to know several colleges where you will not get a job in
Political Science<\/a> department unless youre a marxist. It is that simple. That is the way things are in some american colleges. Not all of them but some of them. Cabot, thanks for the work you do. Thanks. David big board, looked like we were slipping pretip precipitously in negative fairer to. Negative 200. I talked the market down. Thats awful. Because of good
Economic News<\/a> on the jobs front. The market is giving a big hiccup to that. Well see what happens over the weekend as it has a chance to digest this news. Coming up next conservative writer andy ngo who was brutally attacked by thugs at a rally, youve seen video. Well talk with a former member of antifa. He says it is time for violence to stop. More varney after this. Fact is, every
Insurance Company<\/a> hopes you drive safely. But allstate actually helps you drive safely. With drivewise. It lets you know when you go too fast. And brake too hard. With feedback to help you drive safer. Giving you the power to actually lower your cost. Unfortunately, it cant do anything about that. Now that you know the truth. Are you in good hands . Theres also a lot to know. Part a thats your hospital coverage, part b is all the doctor stuff. The most important thing to know . Medicare doesnt pay for everything. And guess what that means. Yep. Youre on the hook for the rest. Thats why its important to consider an aarp
Medicare Supplement<\/a> insurance plan, insured by
Unitedhealthcare Insurance Company<\/a>. A plan like this helps pay for some of what medicare doesnt. So you could end up paying less out of your own pocket. Thats nice. And these are the only

Definitely a down day, no two ways about it. President trump is speaking to reporters before getting on to marine one. He is going to new jersey for weekend. We have advance. What did he say . Susan i get the tape playback very soon. Looking at executive order on synotus, whether or not to include the
Citizenship Question<\/a>. When he says, jobs, really unexpectedly good. Country continues to do well. If we had the fed lower
Interest Rates<\/a> we would take off like a rocket ship as he said. David there you go. Susan he says obama had close to zero
Interest Rates<\/a>, whereas for him, 50 basis points increases since election day. David thank you for spelling that out. Thanks a lot. We had andy ngo earlier on the program earlier this week. Im sure you know him. He was conservative journalist violently beaten at portland, oregon rally, by members of the leftwing group, antifa. They are just a bunch thugs. We have a former antifa member said enough is enough. He is coordinator tore
Leadership Institute<\/a>. Gabriel, you were a in antifa. How did you go in. I was at protest, ended upbeating them and started doing a lot of protests. Someone from the
Leadership Institute<\/a>, actually, i had a lot of questions with antifa. And every time that i would raise some objections things were doing, they would tell me to shut up, stop saying that. They called what i was saying propaganda. David wow. Ultimately somebody from the
Leadership Institute<\/a> reached out to me, they took me under their wing. They showed me what conservative values truly are. David what concerned me most about what happened to mr. Gno, the police, not only did not stop antifa from beating him up, they encouraged him to go back through the gauntlet to get beat up more. How did they get the police on their side or at least some of them . This is in portland, oregon . Problem we have a bunch of spineless politicians refuse to hold antifa accountable because it benefits their political side. That is with were seeing in the multiple areas, including the mayor of portland. David good for you, coming to admit, first of all to admit youre wrong, but hard to get out, isnt it . It is like mafia, they dont want to let you out . Well, definitely it was a little difficult to talk to people once i started questioning them but luckily a lot of that has been left in my past. David were going to continue to follow you, gabriel. Come back to talk to us again about this, i appreciate it. Thank you, appreciate it. David the big hour is coming up. Well have more on the california earthquake. The biggest one in 20 years. Quite a bit of damage. There is good news. No fatalities. Well get the latest from
San Bernardino<\/a> countys
Fire Department<\/a> come up. Lyft, the ride share people, making news that theyre giving big to migrant aid groups. Is that a
Smart Business<\/a> decision considering the environment . New feature coming to the uber eats app, called dine in. You place order on the app. Go to the restaurant. Sit down, they bring you the food right away, no waiting, no hassle. Celebrity chef rocco desperrid toe coming up. More varney coming up after this. David good morning, everybody. Im david asman in for stu. Stu will be back on monday. Its 11 00 a. M. On the east coast, 8 00 a. M. Out west. Let us start with your money. Checking the big board, it was down moments ago, below 200. Stocks moving lower after that blowout jobs report but it is recovering a tiny bit now. Its now less likely that the markets will get that rate cut from the fed that they were hoping for. Its still a little bit, i think a little on the plus side that there will be at least a 25 basis point cut this month, but check the s p 500. Thats down a little more percentagewise, as is the nasdaq. We are watching the tenyear treasury yield as well. Remember, it was well below 2 . It has gone in the opposite direction, up 2. 05 this morning. The story of the day thats affecting all of these issues are that is that 224,000 jobs figure. Thats a number of jobs added last month. Larry kudlow, the economic adviser to the president , was on the program earlier. Here is his reaction to that spectacular jobs number. Watch. We are in a strong prosperity cycle, point number one. Point number two, we have registered stronger
Economic Growth<\/a> with frankly less inequality, more people working, more people succeeding, more people earning higher wages from their success does not cause inflation. David thats the message the white house really wants to push on the
Federal Reserve<\/a> board. Jeffrey cleveland is with us now, chief economist at payton and regal. Your reaction . I agree with larry, we are in a prosperity cycle. Countless times now we have heard the cycle is about to end and recession is imminent, and with 224,000 jobs added, 171,000 on the threemonth average, that is just not the case. Good job growth will lead to good
Consumer Spending<\/a> which will keep this economy going. The fed can stand pat, they can sit on their hands, they can take a summer vacation, if you will. They dont need to do anything. We dont see a lot of inflation pressure. But i dont see a great need for an insurance rate cut either. What are we insuring against . The economy is in good shape. David you heard what larry is saying. Its nothing new. Hes been saying it for a long time. The fed is too stuck on this notion that if you have strong
Economic Growth<\/a> like we do, youre going to have inflation. Thats why you have to keep rates steady. Kudlow and the others are saying no, no, no, you can have very strong growth, as we did in the 80s, and have lower inflation as we did in the 80s. Of course, it was a different time, et cetera. But thats why the rates are a little high now, because they are stuck on this phillips curve notion. Yeah, you know i agree. You can have strong growth, you can can have low inflation. We have had inflation right around 2 , maybe a little under 2 for 20 years. Thats fine. I like stable prices. What i dont like is accelerating prices. Thats where i would get more concerned. But right now, with the inflation pressure, i dont see that theres a lot for the fed to do and i think they are coming around to that view. There is no intention on hiking rates in the near future. I would say, though, wages, now, wages arent inflation. Wages can tick up without causing inflation. I expect higher wage growth over the next six to eight months. David however, let me just push back a little on that because you had 335,000 new entries into the jobs market this month. Thats the month of june. That means the more people you have coming in looking for jobs, the less pressure there is for hikes in wages, even though theres a steady growth in wages, it doesnt look inflationary when you have 335,000 more people coming in. We also see in the report a rising share of people leaving jobs. So people that are confident enough in the
Economic Outlook<\/a> to say hey, im giving up this job i have and going to a new one, and the reason they usually do that, david, better wages. So that is a good leading indicator that wages will continue to creep higher. I think we will get to 3. 5, maybe a little higher year over year on wage growth over the next six to nine months. David wow. All right. But again, that doesnt mean inflation, david. That means a great environment for u. S. Consumers. David and for u. S. Workers. Theres nothing wrong with good wage growth and with all the productivity increases we have been having, thats why inflations been kept so low, no . Yes. So your productivity keeps your inflation in check. Inflation isnt an issue right now. If we get that tick up in wages that im expecting, i wouldnt tie that to an inflation outlook. You can have a good consumer, you can have a solid economic backdrop, better growth, and low inflation. That is what is happening. I expect that to continue over the balance of the year. David jeffrey, lets dig into the markets a little more. We hit alltime highs on wednesday. That was a spectacular day. Pulling back today. Where do we go from here . Well, you have a shortterm problem where the market is throwing a tantrum. The expectation was that the fed would cut, provide an insurance boost, a little stimulus to the market, but again, if you are adding 224,000 jobs per month, the argument for that insurance cut wanes a little bit. I think you are seeing a shortterm phenomenon. The key thing is if we dont have a recession, then i think stocks can continue to march higher. So investors should view stocks in the short term through that lens. A pullback i think should be viewed as a buying opportunity. The cycle will march on, the economy will continue to expand and ultimately, stocks will make new highs. David one thing that could practically guarantee that is a china deal, right . Well, i think anything, anything that reduces uncertainty on the global trade front will be helpful for the market in the near term. That is actually the thing that the fed is pointing to as the key crosscurrent quote unquote, try to say that five times fast, that was weighing on growth, that wasnt so much a domestic situation, wasnt the u. S. Labor market that was weak, it was that there is some uncertainty from global trade. If we push that off, that is a good sign, thats a lifting up uncertainty for the economy and the market. David katie, bar the door if that happens. Great to see you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. And we are waiting for
President Trump<\/a>s comments. He just spoke to reporters before leaving the white house for the weekend, going to new jersey for the weekend. We are going to get the video back, its called tape playback when we turn it around. We will turn it around as soon as everybody else does so you can keep it right here and see it right here. Lyft donating big bucks and free rides to some immigration groups across the u. S. Deirdre bolton is with us for this hour. Good to see you. How much money and what are they doing . Deirdre it is 150,000 in rides to immigration groups, specifically groups that are not for profit but that offer legal advice to
Illegal Immigrants<\/a> and lyft is doing this over the next six months. They have this campaign and the tagline is america is an idea, not a geography and they are sharing stories of their drivers, many of whom obviously work for the company but who have come from other places and they are encouraging them on social media to tell their stories. So that is what lyft is doing. No effect that i can notice on the stock. David their drivers came here legally. Otherwise they wouldnt have the jobs that they have even though they are sending some of this money to support
Illegal Immigrants<\/a>. Next one, big bet from walmart. Doesnt seem to be paying off to the tune of around 1 billion in losses. This is about their jet. Com. Deirdre it is about jet. Com and a few others. Jet. Com was the most money that walmart ever spent in an acquisition of an ecommerce company, i think it was about 3 billion but they also in the past bought others, and they are really suffering, in other words, none of the particular parts have actually turned a profit so they are pressuring, to your point about jet. Com, that founder who is still in place there at walmart to try to cut costs and make the business a little bit more profitable. But this is really about how walmart is trying to compete with amazon. I think for any
Retail Company<\/a> at this point, its all about how do we compete with amazon. Amazon has about 38 of the u. S. Ecommerce market. By comparison point, walmart has 4. 7 . They have been buying all these different pieces to try to get at amazons market share but unfortunately, walmart is losing about 1 billion actually on its
Ecommerce Properties<\/a> this year. One thing to note, though, if you look at walmart stock over the past 52 weeks, it is actually outperforming amazons and of course, the
Broader Market<\/a> so from a 52week standpoint, walmart is up around 32 , amazon up 14 , the s p 500 up around 8. 5 . But the headline or subheadline is that walmart may continue selli consider selling modcloth later this year. Theyre trying but its not working. David it is almost impossible to compete with amazon. Deirdre, thank you. Lets get a check on the price of gold. Taking a big hit today. Of course, the economy is stronger, lot of things happening that are leading it down, 24. 40 right now. Its selling for an ounce, 1,396. 20. Bitcoin, well, its above 11,000 once again but it is down for the day, down about 300. Its selling just at about 11,352 today. Check the price of oil. Probably if we didnt have that great
Economic News<\/a>, it would be trading down even further. Its about flat, down about 24 cents, selling at 57. 09 a barrel. Check gas prices. They are up again slightly, rising about a cent from the 4th, now 2. 75 a gallon, the
National Average<\/a>. A veteranowned
Clothing Company<\/a> is wading into the nike
Colin Kaepernick<\/a> controversy, calling on people to boycott nike while also showing its support for the betsy ross flag. We will show you how the ceo joining us later this hour. Hong kong cracking down on protesters, arresting about a dozen people. Looks like we are going to see how china uses its technology for policing techniques. We will see that in action. We will talk about the repercussions from all that coming next. David we are still waiting for
President Trump<\/a>. He just spoke to reporters before leaving the white house for the weekend. Hes going to new jersey. When that video comes in, we will turn it around and show it to you. Meanwhile, to hong kong. Police there have made their first round of arrests from those protests, around 12 protesters in total broke into the governments legislative building earlier this week. Max baucus is with us, former ambassador to china. Im wondering if this is just the beginning of a wider crackdown. Mr. Ambassador, can you hear us . All right. No, i dont think he can. All right. We will try to fix the ambassadors earpiece to see whether or not he can continue with us. Meanwhile, any second now, we are expecting the tape playback from the president who was just speaking to reporters. Hes on his way to new jersey from the white house. He spoke to reporters while he was on the white house ground on marine one. Hes already arrived at
Andrews Air Force<\/a> base or is just about to. Okay. I believe you have a story now . Deirdre sure. If you have 1. 2 million to spend on a race car, do i have a deal for you. Ford is going to be selling this new, there it is, this super car. They are only going to be making 45, lets just call it david this is a car thats fit for the streets . Deirdre no. Its illegal. You cant drive it in the street. Its 1. 2 million and you cannot drive it in the streets. You better have your own racetrack. Im sure you can figure that out. What i think is funny, the passenger seat is also optional and no airbags, i have to say. This is basically a racing car. So ford is building 45 and it is actually literally for track use only. However, for true car aficionados, this is as close as gt owners can get to le mans or any of the big racetracks. David it is, but for poor folks like us, you can still get a ford mustang. Deirdre you certainly can. No ones going to cry for you. David we should remember the origin of the ford mustang was the late great lee iacocca who had that idea to give the average american a chance to feel like they could be in a car like this if they wanted to. Ford mustang comes about as close to that revving sound deirdre this we are looking at is truly a concept car. Its for true collectors. But the mustang is great. What a great reminder and legacy for lee iacocca this week. David as we told you, the president , who just left the white house lawn for joint base andrews, that is marine one. By the way, if you watched the president yesterday, those flyovers included a flyover of the new marine one. Im not sure whether producers, is this the new marine one we saw fly over the mall . I believe it is. Has all sorts of bells and whistles the old model didnt have. Of course, we also saw a flyover of the new air force one which was spectacular. Thats what led the group of flyovers yesterday. We had every one of our armed forces that has a contingent in the air from the marines to the navy and of course, the air force and the army, they had these spectacular flyovers. The ultimate of the whole evening i think was when the blue angels flew over. I dont know if you saw that, but that extraordinary flyover, the blue angels, and they flew over once, then came back over the mall, flew over and had this extraordinary splay effect. Deirdre its for the kids, its for the kids, but every single adult has their neck craned. David again, all those naysayers saying there will be too much military hardware, what we saw, not so. It was just a spectacular event in terms of showcasing the most modern machinery that we have, just to keep make sure the bad guys in the world dont try to take us on. Deirdre yeah, it was beautiful and the fireworks as well. David we are just i believe about ten seconds away from the president. Here he is, just moments ago speaking on the white house lawn. Lets listen in. We had a phenomenal [ inaudible ]. Were going to have a lot of people being recruited based on that. Were going to have a lot of people joining our military and we really needed that. Our job numbers are so good that the military has a hard time getting people and i think really that youre going to have youre going to see a big spike. Ive already heard it. Lot of people calling in. No place like our military. I think we showed that last night. We had great numbers this morning, i think it was 224,000 jobs. Those were really unexpectedly good. And our country continues to do really well, really, really well. So were very happy about it. I think were going to were going to be breaking records. If we had a fed that would lower
Interest Rates<\/a> we would be like a rocket ship, but were paying a lot of interest and its unnecessary but we dont have a fed that knows what theyre doing so its one of those little things. But if we had a fed that would lower rates, you would have a rocket ship. When obama, president obama was here, he paid close to zero
Interest Rates<\/a>. Im paying real interest. Yet our economy is much better than its ever been. From election day were over 50 increased and weve made trillions and trillions of dollars, with a t trillions. Were doing very well. But last night was spectacular. Yes. Reporter [ inaudible ] are you going to bring democrats back to the table [ inaudible ] . I would love rural broadband. Were working on it and i would love to have the democrats come back and talk about infrastructure, talk about drug pricing. Were going to be announcing something very shortly, a favored nations clause. As you know, for years and years, other nations paid less for drugs than we do. Sometimes by 60 , 70 . Were going to be and were working on it right now, were working on a favored nation clause where we pay whatever the lowest nations price is. Why should other nations like canada, but why should other nations pay much less than us . They have taken advantage of the system for a long time, forphar. Were working on right nuow a favored nations clause so wherever the lowest price is anywhere in the world or company, but the lowest nation or company, then what happens is we will pay that amount and thats being worked on right now. We are going to do it in the form of an executive order. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Were thinking about doing that. Its one of the ways. There are four or five ways we can do it. Its one of the ways we are thinking about doing it very seriously. Were doing well on the census. Reporter [ inaudible ]. He made a statement. He wrote something out. The judge didnt like it. I have a lot of respect for
Justice Roberts<\/a> but he didnt like it, but he did say come back, essentially he said come back. Thats what he was saying. So well see what happens. We could also add an addition on so we can start now and maybe do an addendum after we get a positive decision. So were working on a lot of things including an executive order. Reporter [ inaudible ]. I dont think im a bully at all. I just dont like being taken advantage of by other countries, by pharmaceutical companies, by all of the people that have taken advantage of this country. You look at what joe biden has done with china. Weve lost our shirts with china and now chinas dying to make a deal. And were taking, by the way, billions and billions of dollars in tariffs are coming in, and chinas paying for it, not or people. So if you look at what weve done and if you look at what weve straightened out, i call it the obamabiden mess, were straightening it out, whether its north korea, you could end up in a war with north korea as sure as youre standing there and now the relationship is a good relationship. Well see what happens. But as sure as youre there, you were going to end up in a war with north korea. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Well, i dont call them raids. I say they came in illegally and were bringing them out legally. These are people where we have the papers, we have gone through the court system, they will be starting fairly soon but i dont call them raids. Were removing people that have come in, all of these people over the years that have come in illegally, we are removing them and bringing them back to their countries. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Well, i dont think of it in terms of that. Were just celebrating our country but theres nobody stronger, theres nobody that has the military anywhere close to ours. As you know, we spent 700 billion, when i took over the military, it was absolutely depleted. We had old planes, we had old jets, we had bad i mean, just stuff that was tired. Now we have the finest jets in the world, the f35, the f18s, the new ones. We have military equipment the likes of which we have never had, building submarines, building aircraft carriers, all made in the usa so its a double. Its all made now, im all about jobs. We had great jobs numbers today but when it comes to the military, its not about jobs. We have to have the greatest in the world. Theres nobody that comes close and our military now is just about the top, just about the best its ever been. Theres nobody that comes close to the power we have in our military. What we have, and in fact, if you look, our nuclear now is in great shape. We have renovated, we have fixed, were buying some new. Never want to use it. We never want to use it. But we have to be in a position that we have to be in a position. But our nuclear is in great shape. Our military now is in great shape. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Well, i can just tell you those people that you see, lot of people in front of the white house, every one of them loved it. I would actually say, and i want to give a little appreciation, the media generally speaking loved it. They loved the evening. We had a lot of rain. I stood in the rain, the teleprompter went out so reporter [ inaudible ]. The teleprompter went out. It kept going on then at the end it just went out, it went kaput so i could have said and actually right in the middle of that sentence, it went out, and thats not a good feeling. When youre standing in front of millions and millions of people on television and i dont know what the final count was but that went all the way back to the
Washington Monument<\/a> and i guess the rain knocked out the teleprompter, so but no, its not that. I knew the speech very well so i was able to do it without a teleprompter but the teleprompter did go out. It was actually hard to look at anyway because there was rain all over it but despite the rain, that was just a fantastic evening. I think people really had it and i think a lot of people, you know, it was really a recruitment situation. A lot of people are going to be joining our army, navy, air force, marines reporter [ inaudible ]. She campaigned on im going to get trump, im going to get trump. She never knew me, i never met her, i dont know who she is, but her whole campaign and thats illegal, youre not allowed to do that. She knew nothing about me. She campaigned oh, im going to get trump. We have 100 clips and so do you, and you cant do that. Our system isnt about that. Our system isnt about lets see if we can find something. You cant do that. But her whole campaign was im going to get trump, im going to get him. Cant do that. Reporter [ inaudible ]. It would have to be a long time. You know what, very interesting, after 2500 subpoenas, every
Single Person<\/a> i know practically was called in one form or another, nothing. And ill tell you what, even with you people, youre honest people, none of you could have withstood that. They would have found something. If there was a comma put in the wrong place, if there was a period in the wrong location, they would have grabbed it. No collusion, no obstruction after that. Its almost its amazing. You know what it shows . It shows im a very honest guy. Reporter [ inaudible ]. China. Well see what happens. Theyre talking to us, they want to make a deal but we had a deal and they broke it. They broke the deal. They shouldnt have broken it. I think if they had it to do again, they wouldnt because right now, we put very big tariffs on. We have a lot more to put on if we want. But china broke the deal. We are talking to them. Well see what happens. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Well see what happens with iran. Iran has to be very, very careful. Say it . Reporter why did the
Vice President<\/a> cancel his trip the other day . Youll know in about two weeks. It was a very interesting problem that they had in new hampshire. Reporter what kind of problem . I cant tell you about it. Had nothing to do with white house. There was a problem up there. And i wont go into what the problem was. But youll see in about a week or two. Reporter [ inaudible ]. The southern border is being policed very well by mexico. Mexico is doing far more than the democrat, we all know it, because of tariffs, but theyve been great. They put 6,000 people, they have many of them there now on the southern border, their southern border. On our southern border, which is the main border that you think of, they are going to have anywhere between 16,000 and 21,000 troops. Its had a big effect. We have only been there for about a week where they actually had the troops but its had a tremendous effect, tremendous impact. Youll see the numbers starting to come in very well. Guatemalas going to be signing an agreement. We are talking to mexico. But mexicos really doing a good job. Very big. But heres the thing. When people come in illegally and then its crowded and ive seen some of those places and they are run beautifully. They are clean, theyre good, theyre they do a great job. Theyre crowded because the democrats will not give us any relief from these loopholes. We have loopholes that are so bad. We have asylum thats so bad. So these places are, many of them, not all of them, but many of them, theyre incredible. They are really well run. Ill tell you what. I said it yesterday. Border patrol did not train to be doctors and nurses and janitors. Thats not what they trained to be. They trained to be
Border Patrol<\/a>. Thats what theyre doing and theyre doing a phenomenal job. Because of the country, because were doing so well as a country, we never we have never done this well. Two days ago, we hit the highest stock market number weve ever had in the history of our country. Our countrys doing great. Unemployments very low. We just came out with 224,000 new jobs. The numbers are unbelievable. Thats bringing people up like theyve never come up. Border patrol and i. C. E. Have done a great job. Now, people are being removed from the country. Were removing them. Were starting with the ms13. We have taken out thousands of ms13 gangs. But we have never had an onslaught and the reason they came up and they come up, is because the countrys doing well, they want jobs. Reporter theres a report saying these facilities are overcrowded, dirty and its a widespread problem. They are doing a great job with those facilities. You know how it could be taken care of . Number one, tell them not to come because its illegal. Very unfair to people that have been waiting on line for seven or eight years and they are about to be admitted and they studied and know the country and the history and then a person comes in, walks in and all of a sudden, they become a citizen or are allowed to stay . Thousands and thousands of people were legally removed from the country and that process has started. We have been doing that for a long time. Reporter undocumented immigrants working at your
Trump Properties<\/a> that, i dont know, because i dont run it. I will say this. Probably every club in the
United States<\/a> has that because it seems to be from what i understand a way that people do business. But we have ended whatever they did, we have a very strict rule. Those rules are very strict. But it seems that every club practically in the
United States<\/a>, thats the way they did business. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Well, i havent seen it. I will say this. I think that the
Border Patrol<\/a> has been treated very very badly by certain members of congress. Very very badly. For the most part they are very respected by congress. But certain members of congress say very bad things and lie and exaggerate and
Border Patrol<\/a> people are tough people. Theyre not happy about it. Reporter [ inaudible ]. I just spoke with the attorney general. We have a number of different avenues, we could use all of them or one. We are doing very well on that issue. We are spending 15 billion to 20 billion, we are doing everything. We are finding out everything about everybody. Think of it. 15 billion to 20 billion and youre not allowed to ask them are you a citizen. By the way, if you look at the history of our country, its almost always been asked. We are fighting very hard against a system thats a very difficult system but well make a decision. The attorney general is working on that right now. Reporter for trying to get a
Citizenship Question<\/a> . Need it for many reasons. You need it for congress, for districting. You need it for appropriations. Where are the funds going. How many people are there. Are they citizens, are they not citizens. You need it for many reasons. Reporter [ inaudible ]. I thought ivanka was amazing at the g20. Ill tell you, the foreign leaders loved her. They just think shes great. Shes very smart and shes done a great job. She sacrificed a lot. Ivanka and jared work very hard and they sacrificed a lot to be doing this but they want to do it. Ivanka has worked on almost ten million jobs, training and going to companies and getting them to hire people. But the people, the foreign leaders really like her a lot. Reporter [ inaudible ]. Im not grooming her for office. Reporter as a parent [ inaudible ] . As you know, president obama had separations. President obama in 2014 built the cells you always show on television. They were built by president obama. But he had separation. The one thing he didnt have is a good economy. So he didnt have the kind of onslaught that were having. We have a tremendous onslaught of people. Who can blame him. They want to get in, they want to take advantage of the economy. But they have to come in, they have to come in legally into america. I think
Border Patrol<\/a> has done an incredible job and mexico has been doing an incredible job. Yeah. Wilburs a good man. Look, a lot of people thought his answer was fine. I didnt see the answer yet. They thought it was fine. Its going to be expanded very simply. There are many reasons but we were surprised by that decision. Citizenship has been on that thing most of the time for many many years. So its very shocking that after spending 15 billion its not on. Reporter pull out of nato . Tell biden that nato has taken total advantage of him and president obama. We were paying for almost all of nato. Were protecting countries. Those countries have to protect themselves with us. They have to make a contribution. In my first year, i raised over 100 billion from those countries. Biden didnt know what the hell he was doing and neither did president obama. Nato was taking advantage of us. Now theyre paying. They still owe us a lot of money. Biden doesnt know about that. He just thinks stupidly we do. Nato is fine. But they have to pay their way. The
United States<\/a> is not going to get killed on trade with europe. Europe kills us on trade which were changing and europe then kills us because we defend europe and we lose a tremendous amount of money but we lose on trade and the military. President obama and
Vice President<\/a> biden, they didnt have a clue. They got taken advantage of by china, by nato, by every country they did business with. Reporter are you watching the
World Cup Final<\/a> on sunday . I dont know that ill be able. Reporter do you have a message for team usa . I hope they do well. Reporter mr. President , obama never begged to meet with kim jongun. Why did you say that . Because kim jongun on numerous occasions to me, president obama wanted to meet with kim jongun and kim jongun said no. Numerous occasions, he called. Right now, we have a very nice relationship. We have done a lot and weve gotten our hostages back. We are getting the remains back. Lot of good things are happening and theres been no nuclear testing. During president obama, there were nuclear testings, they were sending missiles. Right now everythings nice and quiet. David
President Trump<\/a> on his way to bedminster, new jersey, where he is going to spend the weekend, thinking about all thats happened over the past week or so. Crowing a little about the economy and well deserved crowing, based on the 224,000 jobs number for the last month. Much more than was expected. 335,000 people coming back into the work force, wages keep growing, maybe a tick slower than they were the previous month but basically very strong jobs report. Matter of fact, the market is digesting it more, its come down a little bit. It was down to session lows at about 230 points to the negative, now down about 127 points. Also talking of course about china, saying that china is dying to make a deal. We had a deal with them and they broke that deal. We are still talking, also talking about immigration, saying the reason so many people are coming and why our facilities are so overcrowded right now is because of the great economy. Charles payne has been talking about this great economy for a long time now. The more we get these stats in, the more you seem to be right about it. You know, its absolutely remarkable, because i think these economists have to go out and throw away everything they ever learned. At the end of the cycle, we have been hearing, how long have we been hearing its the end of the cycle. For years. Deirdre the bull market. Charles the bull market, the economic cycle, these are late stage developments. And i think a lot of it also has to do with the way the fed interacted with the great recession. A lot of things have been thrown off. But every single time we think were about to fall off the cliff, this is like the third time in the last maybe six or seven months, and we are bracing for that really ugly jobs report, we get
Something Like<\/a> this. Its been absolutely remarkable. I love the fact that 335,000 people came back to the labor force. Its terrific. David puts downward pressure on inflation as well. Everyone is worried about inflation. Thats what bothers the president about the
Federal Reserve<\/a>. He thinks they are too focused on inflation. If you have 338,000 more people in the work force, that brings down inflation. Charles if you listen to powell in the last fomc meeting, you know, after that, he said
Something Interesting<\/a> about the lack of inflation. He did argue, he did say hey, it becomes hard to arrest once it continues to drift. You know, as much as people study and talk about the great recession, you know, the great depression, rather, the fact of the matter is we are talking about deflationary death spiral. I dont think were anywhere near that. But the feds got to be wondering how do we get things, you know, for the average person when they hear
Financial Television<\/a> and inflation sounds like a fourletter word, i always tell people we feel pretty good when our paycheck in flats. We feel pretty good when the value of our home inflates. We feel pretty good when the
Baseball Card<\/a> collection inflates. There are certain inflation, certain aspects deirdre we dont get to pick and choose because when we pay more for everything charles no one ever said i dont want a bigger paycheck. David good news on the wage front, its still up. It was one tick less than expected but still up over 3 . Charles by the way, now its 9 of the last 11 months, where nonsupervisory worker wages surpassed other wages. This is what people are talking about. David blue collar jobs, manufacturing up. Stay there. We have more for you in just a minute. Stay with us. Meanwhile, new york state passing a new law allowing illegals to get drivers licenses but some county clerks are refusing to issue them. One is even threatening to sue the state about it. We will talk to that county clerk, next. Dont forget, this weekends big soccer match, team usa playing the netherlands in the final of the world cup. Thats this sunday at 11 00 a. M. Eastern time on fox. You can watch it on fox. More varney after this. With tough food, your dentures may slip and fall. Fixodent ultramax hold gives you the strongest hold ever to lock your dentures. So now you can eat tough food without worry. Fixodent and forget it. David checking the big board, little more rationality about what is happening in this economy, it seems to me. We have a little more green on the screen, although you can see most of the stocks of the dow 30 are down. The market is down 137 points, was down about 230 points so its recovered a little bit from that. Charles payne is with us. I want to focus on something that the president said that was kind of hit us out of the blue. An executive order that he may be thinking about called favored nation clause with regard to drug prices, that is no american would have to pay any more than the cheapest drug price in the world, because a lot of other countries price drugs cheaper than we do. What do you think about that . Charles some countries also buy them. They are subsidized so its hard to figure out is it the country thats buying the drugs and wants to take the hit, the government themselves and they pass that on to their citizens. I think the news is anywhere around the world if
Something Like<\/a> this were to go through, your drug prices are going up because if are you in the drug industry, last thing youre going to do is want to see this happen. I think there should be a more elegant solution to this. David this is clearly politically motivated. Deirdre it is, because as we all remember from our own proprietary research around midterms, the cost of health care is the number one voter concern. That has nothing to do with politics. Thats just the
American People<\/a> saying how come i am not getting more for my money, whether it comes to drugs or to
Actual Health<\/a> care. Thats number one front and center. David keep an ear out. You will hear a lot about favored nation clause with regard to drug pricing. Its going to be an executive order the president will try to put out. We will see what the courts do about it. Dont forget to check out
Charles Payne<\/a> on making money every weekday at 2 00 p. M. Will we have a cp effect today . Charles absolutely. David the markets improving. All right, charles. Thank you very much. Now to this. New york state recently passing a law allowing
Illegal Immigrants<\/a> access to a drivers license but one county clerk not happy about this. Come in, frank marola, rentsler county clerk. You are suing the state, right . We are. We are going to process a lawsuit. David havent done it yet . We will do it federally this time. In 2007 i happened to be there when
Eliot Spitzer<\/a> tried to do it. This time its a little different. He did executive order. This time the assembly and
Senate Passed<\/a> it, the government signed it right away so we will do it on the federal level. People ask me all the time why is it different in new york state versus other states and its a simple reason. County clerks process transactions in new york state. Versus other states where the state employees all do it. So when they do something, you got 52 county clerks all separately elected officials that do dmv business. We also support the constitution. David what is your biggest fear with regard to giving drivers licenses to illegals . Not just a fear, its the idea someone is here illegally and we are going to give them a license to drive that will look exactly like the license you hold today. David i happen to have in my hands an enhanced new york license. This is something i had to get recently. It does allow me to get on planes without using a passport or anything. It also allows me to get on military bases which is good for me. But i knew whi saw this enhanced license coming that they were going to plan
Something Like<\/a> this. Real i. D. Law was passed over ten years ago and this governor waited right to the end to sign on. We only got a little over a year left before any license that if you want to fly domestically, its either got to be a real i. D. License or enhanced. Every other license they will say not for federal purposes. If you are here illegally the license they want to give will look just like someone elses license. David are you afraid that somehow illegals will be able to use it to vote . I said in 2007, i say it again, its really not about driving. If they wanted to give them a license that looked a little different than yours or mine, they can do this. They want to give them a license identical to the license everyone holds to register to vote. David their claim is that it makes people safer because this way, illegals who are driving will actually have to prove that they can drive well in order to get a license, might improve safety on the roads. You are smiling. Thats just a big joke. Nothing about the safety part of it. Its about getting people, getting them to the polls. Thats what theyre looking to do. Has nothing to do with driving at all. David we appreciate you coming down. It took you two and a half hours to get here to make this interview. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. David keep us informed about what happens. Appreciate it. Well, uber eats wants to make your
Dining Experience<\/a> a little quicker, rolling out a new option that will let you order ahead before you actually get to the restaurant. Its not just for takeout or delivery. Celebrity chef
Rocco Dispirito<\/a> up next on that one. David uber eats is planning a new dino dinein feature. You drive to the spot, grab a chair, chow down, boom, the foods right there. Rocco dispirito is with us once again, head of standard grill here in new york city. What do you think of this . Whats going on . I wouldnt say the head. Im a chef at standard grill. The actual head of standard grill might be upset. I think its great to offer a dine in option. Uber eats has been chipping away at our inhouse sales by offering a really robust
Delivery System<\/a> using its existing tech platform. Now that theyre going to offer a preorder dine in option means we get to keep all the revenues, the tips and we keep the business inhouse. Thats really good for restaurants. David by the way, what do they get out of it . I think they get more more throughput on their app. The more people using their app, the more fees, the more advertising and ultimately, someones going to put two and two together and say hey, can you drive me to the place im going to preorder my food at. Im surprised they havent put that together themselves. I think its good for restaurants. David would standard grill play part in this . We are actually considering some delivery options and some dine in and order out options. Uber eats would be a good one. David one of the things chipping away at restaurants is higher rents in new york. I dont know if thats true everywhere in the country but i live in the upper west side, lot of places closed for high rents. Its a very difficult business. The margins are always very low. Increasingly restaurants, if you look at related companies, the big
Real Estate Company<\/a> in new york, they are building restaurants into their portfolio because it makes sense to have restaurants but it exists with low margins but it helps in the real estate deal. With the advent of the new minimum wage, we have to be even more and more careful about how we hire and train and recruit and
Employee Retention<\/a> becomes very very important because replacing employees is a very expensive matter. David you know what kills about the minimum wage stuff. I see people like ocasiocortez go out and say well, you got to have you cant survive on 2. 50 an hour. Well, you dont if you are i was a waiter all through college. You survive on the tips. Thats true. David thats what you survive on. They never tell you that. Thats where the money is. Even the minimum wage for waiters has gone up to about 11 an hour. So its going up no matter where you look in the restaurant business. David with the profit margin the profit margin is lower and lower. Some of us who make profits are in the 5 to 15 , most are below 10 . David wow. Summer eating tips. We are through the holidays. At least the one where we eat hot dogs and hamburger. Yesterday, meat was the big menu item. Today, skip meat, drink a lot of water. Good thing about summer is you have watermelon, melon, berries, strawberries, all kind of wonderful things full of water and fiber that you can use to consume more liquids. You dont have to just drink boring old water. Eat a lot of fruit and a little detox time. David real meat as opposed to fake meat . Im sure everyone ate their share of meat yesterday. Drinking water to detox is the next step. Looking at the supplements you might be leaving on your calendar for a few days this weekend, think about eating more vegetables this weekend. Sorry to bring that up. David what bothers me most about fake meat, its made with gmo. Gmo takes the taste out of it. Right now, gmo products are prevalent in the alternative meat market. That will change. We will get to organic fake meat at some point. David great to see you. Thank you for having me. David well be right back. David fox business programing alert. I will be interviewing peter that have row. He of course the white house director of trade, manufacturing policy, a lot to talk about with peter. That is today on bulls bears at 5 00 p. M. Eastern. Keep it right here. Get a final check of the markets. The markets are continuing to recover, slowly but surely, deirdre. I think investors are realizing there is good stuff, gold in them their hills if people coming back to the workforce. That is positive takeaway from this mornings figures. We had an amazing surprise to the upside. We were looking for only 160,000 jobs added to the economy. 224, well take those overall positive results. We cant forget either, we had a allstar standout day wednesday. Normal to have a pull back. David tightest labor market in decades continue. Fbn continues with my buddy neil cavuto. Neil so you were a waiter . David i was a waiter for many years. Neil i got canned for eating all the food. I loved it. David it is occupational hazard. Neil if tips were low. David fair trade i would imagine. Thank you, my friend. Neil a lot going on, no signs of a slow down. So why is the president pushing the
Federal Reserve<\/a> to lower
Interest Rates<\/a> . Chaos over the census. The white house is facing 2 00 p. M. Deadline to do something. We dont know what the design will be. Apples new iphone design has been leaked.
