Dow jones industrial average is down, varney and company is about to begin. Stuart check the big board the dow was off 52 points, nasdaq is higher, remember the stock market has gone more than a month without hitting a new high and that makes a lot of investors nervous. A lot of investors are very spoiled too, got to look at oil. Not a lot of reaction to middle east tensions. Where is the geopolitical risk we talk about . Up a lot from last months lows, speaking of being that gas prices keep climbing up overnight, 2. 46 the price of regular up 7 days in a row but remember we are still 1. 20 before we were a year ago. You have to count your blessings. Now to the middle east, the u. S. Navy sending warships into the persian gulf. Navy officials confirm the uss Theodore Roosevelt along with a guided missile cruiser the u. S. S. Normandy left the persian gulf and are on route for the arabian sea. This is a major step to stop the iranians from delivering weapons to rebels in yemen. Joining us to weigh in is Lieutenant General mcinearnedy, the United Nations voted to have the best of weapons from getting to the yemen rebels if you well the houthi. Your and knew this but they are sending a big convoy out. How big could escalate . It certainly means their objectives are to seize the territory in yemen that the houthis are starting to occupy and have a huge part of it. It shows another effort towards expanding radical islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula and that is portia radical islam. It is very dangerous what is going on right now. Charles what i dont get with this convoy the United Nations got together and said we are going to have an embargo and not allow these on to get there. There in the arabian sea, obviously we are going to skip what can happen . Will they try to force this issue or are they trying to make a statement . How ironic in the middle of Nuclear Negotiations that they would do this. Is very ironic because the United States has been trying to compromise at every turn on the Nuclear Talks so they can get a successful conclusion to those talks yet they have an expanding iran through the Arabian Peninsula and is building up to be forced on force naval ships against naval ships. Here is what i think will happen, charles. I believe as a result of that u. N. Resolution last week that said there was an embargo on any arms going into yemen that the egyptian or saudi ships because they are authorized under the un charter will stop those iranian ships. I dont believe u. S. Ships u. S. Ships will be in the background and in a support position but you will have the egyptian or saudi ships go up to inspect those ships going into the harbor. I think that i would not put u. S. Forces against the iranians even those they could be authorized. Lets let the arabs do that. Charles to your point we have this ten Nation Coalition sunni versus shia we have stayed in the background but strikes by Saudia Arabia softening the houthi but not stopping them. We have seen isis shifting from one place to another but we cant seem to destroy them. How long before additional action has to be taken militarily and what role would america play in that . A very good question. The reason they are doing this in the frontal assaults way of sending in convoys is that the houthis are running low on ammunition, running low on supplies and probably running low on troops. I would suspect there will be iranian troops in there that would reinforce the houthis. How long is a good question. It depends when you have the confrontation between the sunni alliance, ten Nation Coalition and the iranian ships. Will laidback down in the cuban missile crisis or will they continue on . That is the dangerous situation. Will they in fact strike those iranian ships . I think they will not. I think what they will do is let them offload them and they will immediately attacked them. The saudi air strikes have been effective, yesterday they destroyed some scud missile sites near the capital and that was very effective. It is more effective than people realize what the saudis are doing. Charles i for one am glad to see they stuck their stuffing up in their own backyard and taken the fight to the enemy. Thank you very much that was fantastic. You fill us in on a lot of angles. Back to the markets. A real big deal. In the works generic drugmaker offering to buy its rival for 82 there will be a mix of stock and cash and reestablish the biggest player in generic industry. Last week we dont want to be taken over but they will take this deal to the shareholders and the applause is going to thicken. Maybe it gets done or maybe it doesnt but right now both stocks are higher, stocks leaning toward needy. Hillary clinton dominating in the polls. With these numbers. Marco rubio holding his best against clinton and trailing 5541 . Jeb bush is the height hillary by 17 points, 5639. Chris christie and rand paul falling behind hillary putting up 39 to her 58 . Fox news digital politics editor with us in washington we heard about i thought the numbers were coming down and there was a problem with likability or emailgate was going to hurt her, never the less she continues to steam roll these guys in the polls. This is not my favorite poll in the world, but of course Hillary Clinton is leading the republican challengers, potential republican nominees. There are more democrats than there are republicans in the United States. The democratic nominee starts with an advantage over the republicans. To win elections republicans need all of the republicans plus some of the independents to get over 51 . That is always how it is. The problem for republicans is how quickly and effectively can they choose the candidate that can get famous, get money get on the attack and get in the game . Charles it looks like a crowded field to that point. I saw rand paul with bill hemmer earlier, saying more or less if his rivals play nice he will play nice that you get a feeling that this republican race is only inches away it is a powder keg and these guys are inches away from absolutely demolishing each other to the point where whoever the ultimate candidate is will be damaged goods. Yes and no. Hillary clinton is going to be selfdamaging, she will sit on the shelf over there and will be old news and people will say all we have heard about Hillary Clinton, what on earth can Hillary Clinton do or say with a phony primary fields to make anything interesting or engaging. The republicans will talk about stuff that will be damaging but there will be interest and attention. I didnt know who barack obama was at this point in the 2008 cycle but you get famous catch fire, people like what you are saying and you get going and for the republicans it is this. The establishment has picked jeb bush. He is their guy. Sorry Chris Christie but that is to the establishment has picked. There is a Demolition Derby to see who will take him on in the final round. Stuart charles one guy that caught fire scott walker, is saying he can be hillary by a wide margin in 2016. Of scott walker is the guy you are talking about that appears to caught fire gaining National Recognition and being attacked by the president himself from time to time. They stand apart as separate from the rest of the field. Younger different, outlook, and when you think about who to go against Hillary Clinton if you are a republican theres a broad sentiment within the party that says they need a new face, a new look something that challenges assumptions about the Republican Party and having somebody who is young and hispanic would definitely be a change would so too would nominating a blue collar middleclass kind of guy, joseph a. Bank wearing guy from milwaukee. Those are different looks for the republicans and others whose a pick jeb bush he will raise the most money and he and Hillary Clinton can grind down each other like the Eastern Front of world war ii. Before before i let you go they are giving me the wraps signal. A walker rubio ticket, who will be on the top into would be on the bottom . Thanks a lot. Now this. Prosecutors have arrested the captain and crew member of the but the capsized in the mediterranean 27 people were rescued out of 900 passengers hoping to reach europe from north africa. Ashley webster is here with us. This is absolutely ashley this is going on on a daily basis this is the worst incident we have seen of this type in the mediterranean ever. Certainly more than 800 people believed dead. Hard to get accurate numbers, the United Nations calling it a humanitarian crisis. What is the e. U. Going to do . They have been criticized, scaled back on search and rescue missions though they have an emergency summit in brussels and after the bell point plan, so euros zone, we have a summit and come up with a plan. They are trying to get to the smugglers themselves to by the way charge on average between 111,600 per person to get on the boat so it is within their interests to pack as many people as they can on these boats and make as much money and what happens . Disaster. The sink and we have this horrible situation. Charles i read where last year there were two main routes from africa the dish they calculate and that gaddafi may be for ashley is a region we know is in turmoil and these people simply want to get out take their kids with them for a better life, save her life you cant blame them. Most of the launches of these rickety boats with hundreds of people hanging on our launched from libya. There are ringleaders behind it they believe and that is to they are trying to catch. You can arrest the captain and crew members but they will follow the money to clamp down on who is actually running these. Charles some of the passengers were locked away inside the boat. Ashley as many as 300 in the cargo holds. Horrible situation.

Lets get back to Hillary Clinton and the talk about her new book clinton cash the new book about clinton cash not even out until next month but raising questions about hillarys chances of taking the white house. Special report host bret baier joins us from washington. What i find amazing is this is one of the things 100 million and people they did business with. Why is this particular book all of a sudden magnifying the scrutiny . Good morning. I tell you, what it does is it connects the dots puts all in one place basically goes into details does not for all the noise that was made this morning from clinton supporters including David Brock John Podesta and others that this is a partisan hit job. It really is detailed laying out the bullet that thes of the fact of each of these events and leave it to the reader to decide how you piece it together. Basically a lot of this comes down to a convergence of time lines where secretary clinton, then secretary of state is meeting with big players or adjusting policy in one way or another at the same time bill clinton is getting paid the biggest dollars for speaking in these various countries 750,000 for a speech, 5,000 at the same time within a day or two of meetings but secretary clinton has on certain topics. That is one of the aspects of this connecting the dots and that is why it is getting a lot attention. We will have a piece friday on the Fox News Channel at 10 00 p. M. Eastern. Charles people can complain about the exclusives different Media Outlets have with the author but we have to point out it is pretty interesting because the criticism has to come from the far right. The washington post, New York Times taking note that theres something about this book connecting the dots the clintons in africa, feels like they the implication is they would meet with anyone for the right amount of money. Each chapter could be its own hour. The New York Times working on one of these aspects of this funding by itself. Respective of the book and the book came in from what i understand. And fox news digging into this for a while. And haiti kazakhstan, india, every iranian enrichment involving the russians. All of the details, get into the weeds, it is interesting to see how it connects. Charles let me ask about president obama increasing pressure with Nuclear Talks with iran, to get the release of american prisoners do you think that will have an impact on how this plays out . The white house has been firms that they are not putting this prisoner release into the iran negotiation talks which they have been out of it but separating the two. They havent been put in by irans Expansion Efforts and hegemony throughout the region as part of these negotiations either. So i dont expect that to be rolled into one but i expect the pressure to increase for them to do something with iran on these prisoners. Charles i fink this is the third deadline we had. You mentioned the special this week on the clintons friday at 10 00 p. M. What is the title of the special again . Fox news reporting specialty tangled web, the clintons. It is friday at 10 00 p. M. Eastern, saturday at 5 00 p. M. Eastern and sunday at 10 00 p. M. Eastern. If you dont see it live you should set the defeat of our because it is worth watching. Charles thanks a lot appreciate it. Huge bird flu outbreak in the midwest, millions of chickens and turkeys being put down. Jeff flock has all the details next. 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. Turkeys also affected such that hormel now says their profits are going to be down because their jenny o turkeys, you know, theyve killed thousands of these turkeys. Important to note also, charles, the government reimburses you. If they come in and say youve got to kill your chickens they will reimburse you for your chickens. They dont do that for turkeys. The reason they reimburse is they want to make sure farmers have every incentive to report and comply when there is an issue. Hormels down over 2 , tyson down almost 3 . You know even though it doesnt affect people at this point, it may affect your bottom line. Charles jeff, thank you very much. People are still asking that question. So we do have dr. Siegel hes going to be coming up in the next few minutes to elaborate on that one even more. Appreciate it. Charles thanks, buddy. Ill try. Charles hillary took millions of dollars from foreign governments in exchange for favors while she was secretary of state. Theres already talk it could kill her chances of taking the white house, but heres the question, guys, could it also put her behind bars . Judge napolitano after the break. [ male announcer ] we know theyre out there. You cant always see them. But its our job to find them. The answers. The solutions. The innovations. All waiting to help us build Something Better.

Charles after weeks of weather delays, the Solar Impulse ii, the worlds first solar airplane, is landing in nanjing, china. This is the sixth stage of the planes journey around the world. It started off in b abu dhabi back on march 9th. The plane will stay in china for the next ten days, and then it sets off for hawaii. Looking pretty cool. Its not the spruce goose thats for sure. [laughter] all right guys, the dow jones still off 49 points. The nasdaq is higher and the s p relatively flat. Also flat, oil. Right now despite all of these tensions in the middle east gas though is up overnight, 2. 46 the price of regular is now up in the past seven days. Remember, however, the silver lining, its 1. 20 lower than it was a year a so that means more
