And Elizabeth Warren, vp rumors are swirling. Can she satisfy the bernie supporters . We shall find out. Donald trump, hell take center stage, meeting with evangelicals today and giving an antihillary speech on monday. And then we have this, bill oreilly says that trump will win the election if it comes down to the economy. Where have we heard that before . A big day for politics and your money, well get to the money stuff, of course, Varney Company about to begin. And we will get to the politics. You can be sure of that. But lets begin with your money. It looks like lower open for stocks in the european markets and down across the board and, wow, a triple digit loss at the open. Part of the oil that was below 50 a barrel, down 1 1 2 , a strong dollar hurting oil. Now, lets take a look at tesla, possible suspension problems with the model s we hear. The feds are looking into it. There are reports that tesla is maybe being sneaky with customers, well have more of that coming up. First, look who just wandered into our studio, mark cuban, owner of the dallas mavericks. Mark, thanks for stopping by. Thanks for having me. Ashley owner of mavericks and so much more. Weve got to start with politics. Would you be Donald Trumps vp, ill jump in. Sure, id be vp for either candidate. Ashley are you a republican or democrat . Im an independent, straight down the middle, think for myself. Ashley so would your ego and Donald Trumps ego be too much in one room . Thats a possibility. Im so different from both of them. Thats why i think, washington has become so partisan and gridlock is so bad that you need somebody that doesnt have a legacy baggage of one party or the other. And i think both candidates are severely deficient in technology and when you look at the economy and you look at the future and by that hillary has obviously challenges with email, donald doesnt use email. Ashley hes on twitter all day. If you look at his office, having been in the office, theres no pc. When he sends an email, he has an assistant do it for him. If you dont have that strong a grasp of technology and thats whats going to drive our economy, and you have to have that. And i think i could bring that value to both. Ashley i was reading back in august of last year, you said donald trump probably the best thing to happen to politics in a long, long time, you said. Do you still believe that . You know, when i said it, i firmly believed it and i was hoping it would stay true. I think if donald was able to use his personality, his charisma to stick to the issues, i think that would still be the case. Unfortunately, he shoots himself in the foot with the comments and detracts from the issues. Right now the jury is still out, but we have five months ago, a lot can happen in five months. Ashley what is he tapping into . Theres a lot of anger, you mentioned dysfunction in washington. A lot of people are fed up with politician, hes the antiestablishment candidate. Do you understand that anger . Absolutely. Look, every single american citizen is angry at some level things arent getting done. There hasnt been a promise from a politician in years that hasnt been unkept. I think were all disappointed in that. There was a point in time in the past, i would have said a lack of action on washington was a good thing, now, i think were past that point and we are going to need somebody who can go across the aisle. Can donald do that . Its too early to tell. All right, so, the economy is critical to this discussion. Who is the bet candidate, hillary or donald . We dont know enough from donald yet. Donald has taken the republican position you cut taxes. I dont know that just cutting taxes from the top. Id benefit as much as anybody, but i dont know that thats the best solution. When i look at hillarys website and platform. Theres a couple of things that arent bad. She talks about 15 rebate for Profit Sharing and small businesses, this isnt a bad idea, but we havent seen the details. To say the taxes wont turn it around. The ipo market, theres been almost as much raised by Foreign Countries and american nonbiotech, using ipos. Thats crazy when you think about it. The number of Public Companies has declined from 8,000 20 years ago to less than 4,000. If were not taking companies public, the americans citizens cant participate. And were not creating capital for startups. Those are problems and no one has begun to address the issues. Ashley you used the word growth there. During president Obamas Administration weve seen anemic growth, weve seen this company sputter along. The number of people on food stamps is up. Number of people dropping out of the work force completely, levels not seen since the late 70s. Right. If Hillary Clinton is elected, are we going to get more of the same . Look at that from two perspectives. On one hand, typically when you have that expansion, you typically have that there. Weve added a lot of jobs and then the second question is, is that because of whats happening in washington or because of the Federal Reserve . And right now, the Federal Reserve is in New Territory and theyre trying new things without having a road map of where its going to take them of the the point being, its not easy, right . So is hillary going to bring us more of that . Its not necessarily a horrible thing, but what we need to know is from donald, right . What are you going to do other than saying youre going to cut taxes, i dont think thats going to get passed. Improving Corporate Tax structure is huge. We dont want to see corporate inversions anymore. Ashley and the Corporate Tax having one of the if not the highest Corporate Tax rate in the world. No question, no question, that has to change. Ashley thats a tax that could come that would have a benefit . That has to change, we havent seen anything that suggests that from hillary. And, you know, but we have to see specifics from donald and maybe theyre out there and i havent seen that, but they have to come. Ashley the big mantra from Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, its about the top 1 . Proudly, happily. Ashley are you paying enough in taxes . Im okay with paying more, believe it or not, my problem isnt how much more . Thats the question, how much is enough. The my problem, i say this all the time. After military service, the most patriotic thing you can do is pay taxes because theres nothing here i havent benefitted from, right . Im proud to be an american, im blessed to be in this country. Ashley what do you think is fair, mark . Its more about marginal costs. I dont have a problem, if im making 100 million a year and next 10 million, 50 . I can live with that, its not going to impact my life style. More important to me is how we spend it. I think were collecting enough in taxes the problem is we waste so much of it. Ashley collecting more is not going to help. Its not going to help a lot. Ashley its going to the great abyss. Thats right, we have to be more for efficient how to spend it. Technology is going to replace more and more and more jobs. We can talk all we want about, you know, which jobs are going away, youre not replacing jobs, those typewriter, manufacturing jobs, making l ps in tara haute, indiana, and its going to replace more job. Software is going to be in the world. Thats true. When you have two candidates who dont understand technology, that creates problems. Ashley youre an independent, but a true believer, i think, in smaller government, right . Absolutely, absolutely. Ashley government intrusion is like a wet blanket over growth . It depends how. Theres things we have to do. Commitments weve made to our citizens. Were going to have to pay one way or the other, right . We talk about health care, we might not like obamacare, but were still going to pay health care for those people one way or the other. The goal is whats the most efficient way to do it and that are you a single pair kind of guy like the British Health service. I think we can do a better job. Prior to obamacare, it wasnt like obamacare wasnt in the cards and it wasnt being discussed. The entire health care industry, the entire Insurance Industry had the opportunity to come up with a solution and offer a solution and they didnt. They stood back and did nothing and got what they got. Now as a country would you like to throw obamacare out and start again . It would cost too much to restructure and reinitiate than to try to evolve it. So we have to come up with better solutions. The thing to remember, the risk does not leave the system. Right . Just because we dont like the way were paying for it now, doesnt mean those costs are going away. They wont. The people who dont have insurance will need health care and we have to figure out a way to pay for it. Ashley ive got to ask you about foreign policy. Donald trump is stronger and picked up support because of that. During the Obama Administration weve had a hands off, wait and see approach which hasnt been effective. Im a believer that you lead by strengths. Im not an isolationist and i think that donald is trying to lead in that direction when it comes to trade. He wants a stronger military, in my perspective ill take bites over bullets. The battles of the future are going to be before the bombs are dropped and bullets fired. Ashley and speaking of donald trump, he throws outrageous things out there. Youre a businessman and youve he doesnt mean what he says. Sometimes donald trump is too good at media for his own good. Seriously, he throws out trial balloons to see what the response is and in his mind, he doesnt have a lot of selfawareness, doesnt understand a lot of context, once you get outside of social media or traditional media so it back fires on him and he doesnt quite know how to deal with the blow back. Ashley do you know donald well . I wouldnt say well, but we got along. Ashley when was the last time you spoke to him. A month ago. I wont tell how i responded, but he sent me an email asking what happened. And i was 100 against ted cruz and told him so and told donald, i disagree with a lot, if not all of his policies, but i thought, and i told this directly to donald, not trying to hide it, but i thought ted cruz wases worst thing that could happen to this country and i would help him in any way i could. And once he was past cruz i told him now its specifically about the issues. When you start defining your issues, ill be happy to come back on board. Ashley did he agree with you, take that on board . I never heard back. Ashley if Hillary Clinton decides that Elizabeth Warren would be vp. Then better chance id vote for donald trump. We need to be more center. You know, this country needs solutions, right . We dont need headlines, we dont need to talk about people playing to progressives, playing to conservatives. The more we label, if you keep giving what you always got you keep giving what youve also got. This partisan tribalism, were into the able to do anything and thats got to change. Elizabeth warren has accomplished a lot, but taking it that far left it would be a huge mistake. And any more than if donald trump went the other way. We need to be in the center. Ashley its been a fascinating process, but who do you think . Right now the way i think so things are, i think its a landslide for hillary. Ashley really . No question about it because i think the bernie supporters will come along, as much as they might not go for hillary, theyre not going to vote for donald trump. Ashley hes been able to get people out to vote and yes, and he deserves a done of credit for that. The primary vote e, 6 of 765 to 70 getting media, we discussed it, theres teleprompter trump is not going to get media. If you know hes reading from a teleprompter. If hes teleprompter trump, hell raise main and not get the media. If hes media trump, hes not going to raise enough money for the ground game, youve got to get out there to tell people to vote. Ashley mark cuban, wish youd signed steph curry . Just throwing that out there. [laughter] thank you so much for being here, appreciate it. Well be right back after this. My name is fred and i carve heads out of cheese. Its not easy. I was once working on a bust of Shaquille Oneill in swiss. I havent worked in swiss since. Everyone called me crazy. Things really took off when i got my domain name headsofcheese. Com from godaddy and now theyre selling like hot cakes. Made of cheese. Got a crazy idea you think you can turn into a success . We know you can and weve got a domain for you. Go you. Godaddy. And it looks like a lower open for stocks and thats putting it lightly. Down 122 points is what the futures are telling us. Weve got a number of things and the fomc meeting next week and the u. K. Referendum vote. Weve got a strong dollar pushing oil down, you name it. Lets look at twitter, passwords have been leaked for millions. That is closing at 1460, down to 1435, well keep an eye on twitter for you. The latest fox news polls have Hillary Clinton in a statistical dead heat with donald trump, 4239. The breakdown among women. Hillary in the lead, but 50dn theres a chance to get it closer together. Thats her fire wall. She hasnt captured women of the the interesting dynamic. The story is that donald trump is getting three out of the ten. With everything thats been said about him, everything he has said, that the appeal in fact is no matter whether youre a man or a woman, the jobs, the economy, future, danger, war, violence, terrorism, matters to women. Those are womens issues. Hillary is not seen as one who is going to deliver on those things in the last eight years, let me give you another that would worry here. She received 1. 5 fewer votes in 2008. The democratic primary system lost 7 million votes. Shes looking at the numbers. At the same time, for donald trump, the most votes in republican history. Now, this is through the primaries. If youve got 7 million fewer voters voting, it takes about enthusiasm. Its about the problem with im going to have to disagree with mr. Cuban, theres no landslide for hellry here. Ashley president obama met with Loretta Lynch on the same day that he endorsed hillary. And james rosen asking about a possible conflict of interest with the email probe . You dont think that that career prosecutor or that fbi agent takes that as some indication of how the president wants to see this case resolved . No, i think that those career prosecutors understand that they have a job to do. Ashley its an interesting points. The optics are not very good. Is it a conflict of interest . And even the optics, hes signaling, directly signaling by meeting with lynch, meeting with sanders, and endorsing hillary, he did this all on the same day, within a couple of hours. Weve seen his desire and intent to influence legal decisions. The harvard case about the Police Acting stupidly. Trayvon martin, george zimmerman, when theres a political advantage he will interfere and this is clearly the case here and tells you the hubris thats infected this administration and for hillary, this will be my column on monday in the washington times, the betrayal of women by the fact shes still running, history was made, first time an american president endorsed someone for president who is under investigation, so, this is going to make a big difference. Ashley tammy state here. And California Law restricting who can carry a concealed gun in public. An interesting case this one. And joining us pete, author of in the arena, thank you for being here. Essentially, what this court said yesterday was that forget the Second Amendment, theres no right for you to be able to carry a gun in public. Is that right . Oh, thats right. This court basically said, the right of the people to keep and bear arms can be infringed. They went directly against what our constitution and the Second Amendment says by saying that a citizen needs a good cause, a good reason. Apparently the constitution, the Second Amendment isnt good enough. You need to show youre under threat, which of course, theres a dichotomy, celebrities can get a permit because theyre under public scrutiny, but the average citizen who mi a firearm concealed or otherwise, their right is infringed because he wants to create a higher threshold. This liberal court backed it up. It should wake us up, what is at stake in the election cycle. If a few votes go a different way, heller and other decisions that upheld the Second Amendment are very much in play. I want to read what one of the judges said, we hold that the Second Amendment does not preserve or protect the right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public. I find that remarkable. That should its called folks to see the constitution as a living, breeding document that they can interpret based on whatever progressive world view they have. Its very clear, and the right of the people, not some people, not the right of the people to keep and bear arms liz pete, you know, and whats interesting here, under California Law, in other words, under a state law, personal safety alone doesnt qualify as good cause and the local sheriff gets with good cause . I dont get it. Apparently you have to submit documents, restraining orders to prove youre under threat and even then the sheriff can decline you, so people who may need personal protection are not affording it and this court is saying, hey, thats just the way it is in california and this could reverberate, the challenge to the Supreme Court and elsewhere, a case like this one or others, who overturn many aspects of the Second Amendment, which is zosonyzone Sonya Sotamayor and its not difficult to the u. S. 9th Circuit Court of appeals, no surprise there. Pete, thank you for joining you gos us, we appreciate it. More on that story, im su
