Republicans claiming they found nearly 6 billion in wasted obamacare spending over the last five years. Heres our charlie gasparino. And todd. Fox news radio. Peter, how would you market that . How would you market that . 6 billion in wasted money down the drain. Happy birthday. Its almost a beneficial number in the respect people cant comprehend what 6 billion actually means. You can comprehend 5,000 bucks. 6 billion, they gloss over it. Thats your marketing advice. Its not bad. Its not bad. Todd. One heck of a website. 6 billion dollars worth. Over the weekend, there was a story about the ihop guy who has to dump his stores because he cant afford to pay for the Health Insurance for the employees. A lot of people are hurting out there. When they see these numbers and the amount of waste at the federal government level, there will be folks marching in the streets. Is that a lot of numbers . 6 billion. Youre a money guy. Thats pretty good. Yeah, you got it. Melissa we might just move on after that. In the context of federal budget. How big is the federal budget . 21 trillion or whatever it is. Or the deficit, its not that big a deal. The cbo says it will cost 142 billion, the law over the next decade. Right. Cost, but didnt the cbo say it will be a net positive for the budget at first. Then they changed it. Heres the whole thing, obamacare say mess right now. People dont understand how to implement it or the cost. It will be the gift that keeps on giving for the republicans in the next five years. Lets move on. Bipartisan group putting president obama on notice about a nuclear iran. Raising, quote, grave issues that have arisen in recent negotiations, the pressure on the hill comes amid wildly divergent methods out of iran. The president says a deal is within reach. The Supreme Leader told the crowd, quote, of course yes death to america because america is the original source of this pressure. So theyre basically chanting that we should die. Death to america. Some secret love language between the 2bffs. I love you. I heart you. Melissa yes w it was 78 when they did death to america. . the republicans are coming out on one hand well make this work. You have the people in the corner no, we dont want to make it work. We hate you. Like poison. We have to go back to the fact that iranians are Holding Americans hostage in their country. We want to negotiate in goodfaith with these people . If they send us those four folks that we shouldnt be having this conversation until they return those four hostages then critics would say weve traded four lives for some sort of a deal. Theyre damned if they do. Damned if they dont. You cant win. Its hard to negotiate with people that have an ultimate goal to that want you dead. Thats the problem it is right now. We did negotiate with kim jongun. Didnt the Bush Administration didnt the Bush Administration no, the Bush Administration i confuse bush and rocky. There was an opening up for a nuclear treaty. And, you know, it didnt work out. But the Bush Administration tried it. I know a lot of people are arguing about this idea. And i hope im saying it right. I think i am. In the muslim religion. Parts of islam. If you make a deal with infidels you dont. Have to honor. A risk of causing a socalled earning recession. Nearly one fifth of s p 500 companies have issued warning on First Quarter results. 84 of First Quarter guidance has been negative. But well above the fiveyear average of 6 . The fed will raise rates amid that. When i saw that story. Yeah. My first conclusion was yellen is really going to raise rates and make the dollar Even Stronger and squeeze corporate profits even more. Shes so worried about another recession and all that. Thats one of the biggest arguments of raising rates. This is like the fourth largest number Third Largest number of companies that warned of negative results since theyve been keeping track. So if theyre so far off where they thought they were when they issued guidance have things gotten worse . This is a where is the dollar right now . It continues to get stronger. I think one of the main problems that yellen will have is the notion that the dollar listen the dollar is getting stronger because people think the rates are going up. Its squeezing profits. When you do it, what will happen then . Will the dollar continue to get stronger. It factors out of her control. The european economy is imploding still. Theyre devaluing their currencies across europe. Money is shifting to the u. S. You cant raise rates at this point. Especially since the dollar isnt working in that regard. How important is money in the election coming up . I think it will be huge. At the end of the day, a lot of the evangelical conservatives want someone who is faithful to god. I understand that. Im an evangelical. We dont need a pastor in chief. We need someone who knows a little i wouldnt mind having a business leader. Knows what its like to take risks. I would love someone who can do math. Maybe understand the Balance Sheet a little bit. Mitt romney knew that. Won the award for math. Herbalife for the third time in the past four trading days. Creeping closer to 50 a share. Probably putting bill ackman in a bad mood. Charlie, this is your story. We should point out ackman the short seller who tried to drive this stock to zero had a pretty good year last year. Had a good opening year this year. This stock has been making a comeback lately. Its above the level he shorted it. Its at a breakeven point. Its rising on the markets. But also because bill ackman is facing some scrutiny for how he shorted this company. As you know we reported this a million times. The Company Herbalife has been progressed regulators and the fbi to open a stock manipulation case against him. I dont know if theyve opened it officially. I wont call it an official case yet. But theyre snooping around. Talking to people. If you look, the stock is moving as thats going on. Plus a couple of lawsuits i will say this, just for a retail investor, only roll the dice with this if you want to. The New York Times poking another hole in Hillary Clintons purporting the clinton aides used private accounts to communicate with her on matters of state. That information at odds with the clintons claim that her messages through other peoples government accounts. Maria not disputing this in the New York Times. You remember her defense was, i always knew they would be safe. I wasnt trying to hide anything. From her personal account, she was emailing to people on her staff to their personal accounts. Does this stick, todd . This wont matter a hill of beans come election day to be perfectly honest with you. One of the things that got he many was one email exchange where the secretary of state said did we survive today . Survive, yes. . there were people that didnt survive that benghazi. We cant forget about those folks, at the end of the day. Ive said, at the end of the day twice havent i . When we talk about this i sort of snickered did we survive, we have to remember people did not. Were talking about these emails. The clintons need to come clean. When you have multiple emails. My wife has her corporate, her personal email, her old one i met her online. Exactly that i dont know about. The other one. When i type in kyra four different emails come up. Its not the easiest thing in the world to pick the right one. Im not saying thats her argument. Im saying, you have two email addresses at least. You have two. You have two. Sweet cheeks. Im sweet cheeks 42. Aol. I dont know if anyone has my personal email at work. I can find it. You better make sure they are laying off the juice boxes. The Us Department of agriculture now weighing children as part of Michelle Obamas push for healthier school lunches. This is both public and private day care centers. Theyre coming. Take their height and weight. Then what . They sent notices to the parents last year that the kids were overweight. The kid got home and opened the mail and it destroyed them. It was terrible. These are kids who cant even read yet. This is terrible. I have a 22 month old its terrible. They say its about controlling the food and the amount of exercise inin the day care. Theres better ways to do that to weigh and measure the kid. Just over the weekend i was in mississippi giving speeches. Folks there are fired up last week, Michelle Obama was going after sweet tee. You dont mess with the house wine of the south. This is why conservatives are angry that jeb bush, for supporting National Standards like common core. You get the impression that the government is controlling every single point of our lives. Particularly the schools. . we should be teaching the kids how to add subtract, read. You know. Take them out to exercise if youre concerned. Dont you have gym . This is day care. These are little dont they run around a little bit . Theyre pulling them. Pull them across and see how that works out. Russias new threat. Putin is back in action. And the kremlin is wasting no time delivering a nuclear warning. Plus reality bytes power hungry politicians are outranking the actual president. Amazing. It is not a great day when Frank Underwood is beating you in a popularity contest. Remember he killed people on the show. More money coming up. Melissa and theyre off. The 2016 race kicking off as senator ted cruz becomes the First Official contender for the white house. [applauding] i believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of america. And that is why today i am announcing that im running for president of the United States. [applauding] melissa here now is byron. Todd is back as well. Byron, i want to start with you. There are things that everybody thinks they know about ted cruz. A lot of facts they dont. I was interested in where he stands on the money issues since thats the name of the show. Hes very much for getting out of the way of small business. Theres too much regulation. Too much cost of obamacare. Is that a message that he can sell . What do you think . Well certainly hes been running as far as repealing obamacare is concerned hes been prominent as any republican in the effort to repeal obamacare. Remember, his work led to the Government Shutdown in late 2013 on that. So so Economic Freedom issues have been very very strong with him. And, by the way he actually stuck to his guns when he went to iowa not too long ago, and some other candidates were saying they supported ethanol and renewallable fuels. And he said no, i dont. They should be eliminated. Kind of gutsy for a candidate to say that. Very consistent on that front. The export import bank. Your tax dollars, picking winners and losers in terms of giving them loans in order to export products to other countries. Thats been something on his plate that hes very much against. What do you think todd . I think ted cruz was brilliant in picking the location for announcing his run. Liberty university, the largest christian university, the kingmaker in the community. That will be important going by into the primary. You have cruz go against mike huckabee, Rick Santorum and to a extent, scott walker. It will be important who comes out on top. Ted cruz he struck first. He got a very very reception there at liberty. His wife heidi, the managing director of goldman sachs, people in our audience know what that means. Shes a real power broker. Hes viewed as soicially conservative. He is a powerful wife. Television trumps reality. Fictional tv president now more popular than president obama. This is according to a rioters poll. He is a 46 Approval Rating compared to an 89 Approval Rating of david palmer. Even the power hungry Frank Underwood 57 approval. Byron, . underwood is a murderer. Hes killed two people while hes been in office before he was president. But hes a murderer and hes more likable right now. I mean, this is so understandable in the case of 24, the president is saving the United States all the time. And on if youre a democrat on the west wing where the president was a good and principled man but Frank Underwood is one of the worst human beings on the planet. He really is. Here people say they prefer him to barack obama. Thats not good. But he does like barbecue. He does. Youre right. Our caffeinated nightmare finally comes to an end. After huge backlash, starbucks decides you can have your coffee without a steaming cup of discord. The teams that wouldnt cooperate with your precious bracket. The wichita shocker. Trades their high tops as for cinderella slippers. Theyre not the only ones. Smart money coming pick coming up. Just because im away from my desk doesnt mean im not working. Comcast business understands that. Their wifi isnt just fast near the router. Its fast in the break room. Fast in the conference room. Fast in toms office. Fast in other toms office. Fast in the foyer [pronounced foyyer] or is it foyer [pronounced foyyay] . Fast in the hallway. I feel like ive been here before. Switch now and get the fastest wifi everywhere. Comcast business. Built for business. From the us, every corner of the globe money is flying around the world today starting in greece. Which could run out of cash in two weeks. That is according to reports the european newspaper greek leader are meeting with Germanys Angela Merkel to meet its next debt payment on april 9th. Greek wants to move the deadline. I bet they do. It may have to agree to budget cuts and tax cuts. Denmark is being threatened by russia for joining natos defense field. Its designed to protect whole countries from missiles. Denmark is invited to be part of it. Russia told denmark, it would make them a legitimate target for nuclear attacks. Denmarks finance and National Security will suffer. I want to be denmark today. Landing in france a super tide has surround a medieval town turning into an island. Its usually accessible but a Solar Eclipse cut it off by sending a wall of water four stories high. Look at all the people who showed up to see this. Look, a little wakeboarding. Paddle boarding. News that is shocking no one. Starbucks has not solved racism in america. I was sure they would do it. They had baristas write race together on coffee cups. Peter shankman is back. Bruce, remind me, how many starbucks are in inner City Projects . You know cynicism is a great way to look at this melissa. But there is another way. Howard schultz has not been wrong that that often. Ii wouldnt be so quick to bet against him. I thought he was saying this was only supposed to last a week anyway. We didnt give up on it, it ran its course. Starbucks is the number one employer of minorities on the country. Why arent we talking about race . Because youre supposed to sell coffee. You do it look, when i go to starbucks next to my apartment the only thing is, give me my coffee before i cut you. I dont want a conversation about race before i have my he is espresso. Its really dangerous. Very dangerous. Ask people hot button questions as youre holding their coffee off. Really hot beverage. So much physical danger involved in this, bruce. First of all i order my coffee black. Im bringing race into it anyway. Gosh. Sometimes black coffee is just black. This is why we cant have nice thing. And the salons in paris have been the hotbeds of thought. It makes sense for schultz to upgrade the quality of his image of his thought leadership with this. Lets point out since you say lets follow the money, their stock went up 3 since the campaign started. So i would drink a cup of coffee to that. You never hung out in a starbucks . Id like to see their sales the past week. While theyve been threatening to start conversations with people who wandered in looking for caffeine or a rice crispy treat which is also my favorite. I wonder who chose to skip it and go somewhere else. What are other Companies Going to do to match this . Oh, no. Other issues in america. Theyll talk about things happening in the south versus the north. At the end of the day, it was a smart idea on paper. Very illconceived in the real world. Why . Its a way to publicize. Were getting involved. We employ thousands upon thousands of minorities. We want to help people talk about race. When you dont think wont things through. Its 7 30 in the morning. Im already late. Do i want to discuss this . Wasnt thought out well. The other point, mcdonalds did almost the same thing. Call your mother. Or drop your pants. Thats not talking about race. It was some way to get interaction with customers. And starbucks is doing it in a way that maybe doesnt seem quite so gratuitous. I think theyre on to something here. I want the food or beverage i paid for. A serious case of hillary fatigue. Why some democrats are demanding that Elizabeth Warren run for president. And isis terrorizing our soldiers at home. Worrying hit list appearing online. Targeting our men and women. More money coming up. Melissa the us military urging personnel to be vigilant as isis publishes a socalled kill list of 100 Service Members complete with their photos and addresses. Meanwhile the us is pulling the last of its troops out of yemen as the country just spirals into chaos. The move comes six months after president obama hailed yemen as a victory for us policy. President obama the strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us while supporting partners on the front lines is one that we have successfully pursued in yemen and somalia for years.
