Good morning everybody. At morning. Maria we have so much to talk about this morning. Coming up retired fourstar general and fox news military analyst jacking us with this former House Speaker contributor Newt Gingrich and chairman in chief Strategy Officer wilbur ross stops by. Kicking off at the battle of the economic plans in the state of michigan Hillary Clinton will present their plans today. Donald trump presents his plan in detroit this week. Clinton pattern for Structure Plan on the campaign trail. Trouble a slender legislative record, take a listen. In the first 100 days of my administration we will make the biggest investment in new jobs, goodpaying jobs since world war ii. Now how are we going to do that coax . We will. She promised the world and went like this. It went down and she got virtually no legislation passed. She couldnt get anything passed. Was unbelievable. Maria i want to bring in jobs surrogate aaron and leopard we heard down this week. Had he think it differs from what we will hear from Hillary Clinton . The difference is clinton is going to do is create a humongous deficit. Donald trump is trying to help america and make changes and get away from the norm of brock about were Hillary Clinton pushes us further into debt. Maria she will be raising revenue that issues raising taxes. Yes and if you look at a host of independent groups trumps tax plan in trumps Infrastructure Spending is expected to add to enjoy in dollars to the federal deficit not too chilly in dollars. I think because he lowered it to three brackets and took the highest trade to 33 which was a nuance it does take it down from 10 trillion. If we are going to talk about the deficit, republicans slammed democrats for adding to the deficit. Why dont they care about Donald Trumps mouth . I dont think its about the mathematical regard. All Hillary Clinton wants to do is increase the minimum wage. That does nothing for country. It doesnt create jobs. Theres no possible way these numbers are adding up. We have forked from this thing for the last three months and no plan is perfect. Heres what the plan does. Number one it simplifies the tax code and number two we will reduce a moratorium on regulation which is super important to get the Small Business is growing again and last peace of this is super important for everybody. If you can get the revenue mix right you will ultimately reduce the deficit in the way you do that is exactly what though clinton did. We think about where the Democratic Party is today. They have moved so far to the left with such aggressive governmental controls they are slowing down the growth of the economy. If we get the trump plan in place and we can grow it 4. 5 , and grow as a nation we will solve a lot of problems. Its. Maria when you look at how far left the party has gone because of barack obama and Bernie Sanders. We are running a Budget Surplus at the end of this term. Hillary clintons plan is completely different from anything bill clinton did when he was in the white house through some of the things hes announcing today look a lot like Bernie Sanders plans for expanding Social Security. Childcare for instance she talked about that sketch factor costa 10 . Thats going to be a job killer. She wants to take instead of what donald trump as saying which is give taxpayers a credit on childcare for the year thats Economic Growth she is saying lets have the government take care of it and thats worse in my opinion. Trump does want to put the money in the hands of Business Owners. And the individual. Hillary doesnt seem to be catching up to that. One of the points in hillarys plan and cheryl a. Buno this issue wants to help Small Business. And understand how shes helping Small Businesses in his plan. Have you seen anything that moves smallbusiness . Not unless you are preschool and you are running a universal preschool plan. It depends on the business. Where she is talking about is more regulations and that is where donald trump has come out. His pledge to stand by and defend obama regulations. She as i mentioned changing the Corporate Tax rates. President obama has given us an infraStructure Plan that did not work. Lets talk about what exit does work. We studied this and this is a bipartisan thing. You go over 20 of the gdp of the National Budget level you have almost an octopus controlling the private sector and it constrains the growth in the private sector. We are at 24 right now for the federal government to guess whats happening . People were getting little to no grocer with the trump plan will do is get us back down to the 20 number and you will see explosive growth as a result of that and that will solve a lot of problems were talking about on this program and other programs which are particularly the global problem. If you get the United States to grow again and capacity which the trump plan puts you in the will solve a lot of the worlds problems. I was struck to the number of people is that there is not a rough aspect of the Hillary Clinton plan. He was really striking because Economic Growth is the most important thing we are talking about right now in terms of creating jobs. Maintaining the status quo something you dont see relate to growth. Maria the controversial jesse that the rallies, yesterday we talked about Hillary Clinton having the father the orlando shooting are right behind her and incredibly prominent place. Now trump apparently is one of his rallies mark foley was there disgraced congressman. Lets watch. And i know how many people, family members, loved ones and friends are still grieving and i want to i want them to know that we will be with you. We will be with you as you rebuild your lives, as you rebuild hope for the future because we cant ever let that kind of hatred and violence to break the spirit, break the sole of anyplace in america. Its terrible when the father of the animal that killed the wonderful people in orlando sitting with a big smile on his face right behind Hillary Clinton. Maria im still scratching my head over what the strategy was in terms of having mr. Mateen behind hillary and what is the response to the congressmen being behind alltime . Hillary penton, no trouble. Mr. Foley was exonerated of any crimes. Seddique mateen son murdered 49 people and said should be punished. A little difference. Im thinking of a saturday night live skit. See that this doesnt happen by accident. When you have such a prominent seat you have to get that prominent seat. Its not happenstance that you are sitting in front of the cameras so this is strategy that they said let me reach out to the Muslim Community and then they realize its a horrible strategy . I dont know if they knew who he was. I just dont believe it. If you go to a clinton event they are very staged. Theres a reason for every Single Person binder. Maybe the strategy was this is a muslim man and we want to look diverse. Theres no way she would have done that. What i dont like about the whole thing is its distracting from what the issues are. Whats happening here is because you buhman street and secretary clinton have a failed National Security policy and a failed Economic Policy we have to focus on personalities and issues like this. Maria she prides herself on her record as secretary of state and not everybody is as proud as she uses her record but it could be something there as well.

Com caremanar maria allows generation of homeowners the wall street journal taking a closer look at why millions of americas a wreatg instead of owning. The chief economic correspondent , john good to see you. This mornings story homebuyer shortage threatens recovery. The market has been strong with the exception of the middleclass buying homes. This is particularly the case for millennials. The young people burdened by a student debt and getting married later and what we are seeing is the homeownership. Is we reported the story today is fallen to a 51 year low around 63 . Some saying it could fall below 60 . Lets remember homeownership 10 years ago was the american dream. Right now about 200,000 to 300,000 fewer homes are being bought every year mostly by middleclass americans. Maria the peace also said home prices rose 83 at s1 hundred and 78 Real Estate Market so prices are getting away from some folks. Traces are getting away from some folks in the reason is builders are building. We had a boom in construction of apartments and condos but not singlefamily homes and then the other part of this that we have to talk about is now its bring about the Federal Reserve interestrate or very low and that ought to be spurring a lot of homebuying but a lot of the houses are cut out of the market because banks are reluctant to lend to anyone with any kind of scuffing on their credit record. If you look like you dont have a good track record and credit its very hard to get a mortgage these days even though Interest Rates are very low. That hits the middleclass. Maria john if you look at the millennial fire because that seems to be a big problem. You need that younger buyer to basically spur sales and not the young person whos not coming into the market. They dont have a clear answer as to why. So theres this barbell effect is weighing on the market on one end you have the millennials who are coming out of college and one of the worst job market in the history of the country and burdened by a lot of student debt getting married later so they are not going out and buying a home home and then you have the Huge Population of baby boomers which is downsizing into smaller places and condos so thats weighing on the market as well. Maria anthony do think this will impact the broader economy . At the end of the day housing ties everything together. John knows this from working with the fed predicted on get the Housing Market right you dont get the Small Business 60 of Small Businesses are tied to housing. Think of our main streets, we have this sort of middleclass lowdown and housing very better Economic Growth. Maria u. As of this will hurt the recovery i would say it r d has. At typical recovery what happens is the fed lowers Interest Rates and you see a lot of interest sensitive ears moving forward so you see housing in d. C. Car sales all going forward. Whats happened is we have had a boom in car sales but we have not had a boom in housing which is a bigger peace of this economy. Not only in addition to everything that anthony mentioned a lot of people expect equity from their homes. The better tax till the neck or card so you dont have that going on. Maria thats a great point. John what are the ripple effects because as we talk about millennials so many burdens and feels like a weight on the shoulders is getting impossible to buy a home. They have student debt than they can find great jobs but homeownership is the key component of retirement saving so what does this to our economy years down the road . Well you know i think thats certainly the case. You make a really good point about retirement savings. A lot of people have paid their mortgage every month and eventually they are paying, taking out equity in their home and building up wealth so you dont have that form of Wealth Creation which again ways on Consumer Spending. The homeequity ways on Consumer Spending so this is a fundamental ingredient in American Life is being transformed and then you know i think its also affecting this election cycle. Its one of those factors, there are a lot of factors out there among the middleclass that are forming anger and resentment in the electorate and it has led to people getting behind people like don trump and Bernie Sanders you want a change. The disappointment in the Housing Market is part of that. Maria in fact one of Hillary Clintons themes to recommend the plans i understand his free tuition. You mentioned the connection to the election. Genre quickly before you go, tomorrow is going to be retail sales that will set the tone and we know the consumer has been one of the bright spots in the earnings in the sector have been been what do you expect in retail sales tomorrow . The retail Sales Numbers had better be strong for you so many other sectors as we talked about housing. Maria corporations are not spending. Is this investment has been a weak part of economy and stuff exports so when we are counting on Consumer Spending to keep this expansion going if we see it slowing down then that is a reason to worry. The fact that the stock market is making new highs and affect the employment. Has come down leads me to believe we will see growth but dont expect consumers to be going gangbusters in this environment. Maria we will see with the numbers and that will set the tone for markets more. John thank you so much. Later this morning quiet buyers looking to get into the market in terms of the Housing Market. At next a new survey shows twothirds of americans felt threatened by isis. What the Current Administration can do to keep the country safe are those of you who enjoy mmo set a weekend brunch listen up. Theres a champagne shortage brewing in france. We have the details and they are sober. Stay with us. banjo ooooh i hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow and each road leads you where you want to go and if youre faced with a choice and you have to choose i hope you choose the one that means the most to you and if one door opens to another door closed i hope you keep on walkin till you find the window if its cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile but more than anything more than anything my wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to your dreams stay big, your worries stay small you never need to carry more than you can hold and while youre out there gettin where youre gettin to i hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too yeah, this is my wish may all your dreams stay big maria welcome back, happy thursday. Im Maria Bartiromo and it is august 11th, top stories at 6 30 a. M. On the east coast. Hillary clinton has highlighted Infrastructure Spending and raising minimum wage. We will compare her plan to what we heard from donald trump this week in detroit. The nominees focusing on other key issue for voters, fighting terrorism. In many respects, you know, they honor president obama. Isis is honoring president obama. He is the founder of isis. Every single one of these incidents shows us that donald trump simply does not have the temperament to be president and commander in chief of the United States. So the stakes have never been higher. Maria all this as startling new polls show way of life is under threat. One is islamic terrorism. We are taking a look at threat today. Outrage over the price tag that the Justice Department dolled out to the country. We continue to see the market near record high as the dow, s p all looking higher today. In europe mixed earnings that drive the action. The cac quarante in paris showing gains of three quarters and one percent. In asia mix there. Champagne produceers with shortage will raise price of le. Poor guy, we will bring you that story coming up. Donald trump slamming Hillary Clinton and foreign policy. In many respects, you know, they honor president obama. Isis is honoring president obama. He is the founder of isis. He founded isis, and i would say the cofounder would be crooked Hillary Clinton. Cofounder. Crooked Hillary Clinton. Maria Donald Trumps comments coming as a University Poll show 47 of registered voters feel the american way of life is under a great deal of threat. According to that same poll 61 of voters say the threat is from the Islamic State. Joining me right now is general, retired fourstar general and fox news military analyst. General, good to see you. The idea that so many people are feeling under threat because of the Islamic State, this has truly hit home, whats your take away . Well, i can certainly appreciate that and sympathize with it. Frankly, i think what the American People see is an isis threat that is growing and a lot they get a lot of information coming out of them every day. The president of the United States and all the european president s say we are going to destroy isis, we are going to defeat them, bring them to the Justice System but what they actually see is isis has conducted this year alone in the last 12 months over 100 attacks outside of iraq and syria. Theyve expanded from Nine Countries last year, this is just isis to 24 countries this year. The American People get a sense that this is a growing threat and thfer, it may impact them. Maria general, what should be done . It has been a while now since we started to talk about that threat . Its only gotten worse, what do you think the best course of action is for the u. S. . Well, i think thats the other ping thats in the americas people scept mix, they dont see a strategy to defeat isis. We have to crush their safe haven. They have a safe haifn in syria, that should have been crushed last year. That would have taken away finance and economic sustainability, the ability to control operations, the ability to motivate and inspire others around the world to kill fellow people. Think about that. Here we are. Theyve been in the safe ha venn for four years and we have no plans to destroy it. None. Maria the plan should include the international community, but was know, general, that our middle eastern allies have told folks like john mccain, senator lindsey graham, we want to be part of the fight to take down isis but we cant do it with assad in power in syria but russia is protecting him but the u. S. Is not doing anything. Is that critical to take care to take assad out . The Arab Coalition came to the United States said, we are going to deal with this but you have to lead. They have huge issues with this administration. I dont think they would ever trust this administration, even to see through a plan to destroy isis. Its going to take a new administration to deal with the arabs but they could be dealt with effectively to destroy isis. Maria what do you make of this report, general, the u. S. Air force struggling to fill shortage of 700 Fighter Pilots by tend of the year. We have the u. S. Involved in three air wars and we are looking at shortage of Fighter Pilots. Well, this thing is eposadic in terms of shortage of pilots. Fire pilots is part of that story. We go all the way back to cosova in terms of air wars that these guys are dealing with, the other thing the nature of the war themselves, particularly war against isis, they spend more time flying circumstance unless the sky than bombing runs because of bureaucracy and nature of the fight itself. Theyre not going after facilities, they are going after fighters on the ground which is a tough tactor. We are flying more drones. Flying drone is not like strapping on an f22. Maria right. I want to switch gears and russia and the u. S. , and i know you do too a couple of years ago when the world we wanted to copy Silicon Valley, among those countries was russia, they created the kokovov and as a result of that peter is saying that the clinton camp the clinton camp and the Clinton Initiative basically created opportunities for companies to go in and and invest in this russian Silicon Valley but in doing so, they created an espionage window and basically they help moscow develop a Silicon Valley and drew American Technology Companies Due to espionage. What do you think about that . Well, the fbi listen, putin is a thug and hes created hes the richest man in the world by literally robbing russia with billions of dollars and any any activity with russia we have to be very careful about what that is and certainly bring Companies Like google and microsoft and general electric, itself to work with them would certainly expose those companies and i think the companies themselves understand that. Number two, we have the fbis warning, number three putin is going to use his offensive cyber capability which is second only to the United States to exploit espionage information and also criminal activity. Maria yeah. Half of russias offensive cyber capability is criminal. Maria its pretty extraordinary because the partnership itself stems from president obama and the reset that secretary then secretary clinton wanted to do with russia. She was calling it a reset. The fbi issues extraordinary warning back in 2014 to the companies doing business with the koskovov foundation, the Silicon Valley of russia, could deal into espionage, crucial part to modernize russias military. This fbi warning and they are calling an extraordinary warning back in 2014 is worth noting general. Yeah, absolutely. Putin takes this very seriously and the reality is he will continue to use that cyber offensive capability to exploit us. They are doing it on a daily basis and if we gave them Something Like that, i mean, it would be ridiculous because they would take so much advantage of it. Thats really incredible. Working with putin was well intention, he has seduced two president s, president bush and president obama, this guy is dead serious about expanding russias influence in the world, hes interested in eastern europe, hes dead serious about advancing russia as a global power. Maria youre absolutely right. It was misguided to be frank about it. Maria gary, he was the richest man in the world because any transaction done in russia putin takes his take first and hes built up this massive war chess of money. Good to see you, thank you so much. Good talking to you, maria. Maria coming up a man who survived dramatic plane crash wins a Million Dollars in the lottery. The cost for baseball souvenir, a plate full of nachos to your face.

A couple of names on the move. We are focused on macys, we will likely see more weakness for department stores. Earnings per share expected to be down 30 at macys, the stock still right now is indicated fractionally higher. Khols reporting before july report due tomorrow morning. Taxpayer money is being given to cities and states a reward for shielding illegal immigrant. Here is which he recalls with the story. Cheryl yeah, maria, this is incredible. The justice gave more than 340 million in grant money to socalled sanctuary cities, shield illegal immigrant, even violent ones from deportation by not cooperating with federal officials. California topping the lost with 132 million in doj grants. We will continue to follow that story for you. Okay, maria, you mentioned this earlier. Champagne lovers not going to lover this.

The lowest yield since the 80s and this growing season has been the toughest in 60 years in the champagne region of france. Get out your cava or perseco.

Donald trump is in florida today campaigning for the battleground state, ouron blake berman. Blake, good morning to you. Blake a beautiful summer morning in michigan. We are habit half an hour from downtown detroit, many suburbs here in detroit. Hillary clinton will use the Manufacturing Company today as the backdrop to roll out her many economic proposals. The Clinton Campaign is telling us this morning that this will be somewhat of a rehash from what she rolled out earlier this summer in kentucky in june. However, this will be be a defacto rebuttal to donald trump. Here is what we can expect Hillary Clinton to talk about according to campaign this morning. A handful of topics among them. Need for investments in job creation. Plan for debtfree college for all. Fair share initiatives as well, notably the buffet rule. Millionaires to pay at least 30 effective tax rate. This, however, will also focus a whole lot of it this speech on donald trump. You can expect Hillary Clinton to try to portray trump in his economic speech from earlier this week as more trickled down economics that as they see it. Trump and his corporation and his friends corporations as well. You also can expect Hillary Clinton to unveil a new term, that being the trump loophole, clinton will try to make the argument today in this speech that trumps tax plan gives him and his companies a back door tax break as she sees it through passthrough entities. We also can expect Hillary Clinton to focus on the flint water crisis from just down the road here trying to use trumps tough talk against regulations against him. As for trump, we have seen him out on the campaign trail in the last couple of days since his economic rollout. He has tried to make the argument, maria, that Hillary Clinton had the very chance as the United States senator to introduce and try to get through some of the policies that shes pushing now and as he puts it, she failed to do so then and will fail now. Maria i want to welcome a fellow steve moore, steve, good to see you. Hi, maria. Maria we talked about trumps plan. I want to talk about hillarys plan. Shes talking about investing in good paying jobs and helping Small Business. Do you think thats what we are going to hear today . I think shes going to say that. I dont know if shes going to be able to accomplish it. I love it. By the way, i love Donald Trumps attacks against hillary about what he said she was going to do to new york and we looked at the evidence after she became senator, specially up state new york devastated by manufacturing jobs. Lets not make hillary make all of america like up state new york. Im going to do all the things in the first hundred days. Wait a minute, they have been in charge of the last 3,000 days, why havent they put the job programs in place. We have seen flat incomes. No pay raise for workers for ten years, job growth, if you look at the unemployment rate, 10 to 12 . I just think those have difficult hurdles for hillary to get over. She is the status quo. She was part of the Obama Administration and the results have been lousy. Maria Anthony Scaramucci we are looking at the Tax Foundation fiscal and we know that she wants to raise taxes on individuals and businesses but what shes trying to do is raise money, i guess, not to impact the deficit too significant. Shes going to raise tax revenue by almost 500 billion. Anthony steve would also tell you that on a dynamic tax analysis because of slowdown in growth, she will only takes 91 billion, is that fair, stief . You got it. Our plan when you look at the growth aspect, this is where we are going hit her. If we are growing at 1 , maria, if we get from 1 to 4 growth, that 3 additional growth because you have so many people working, so much more corporate profits and fewer people on welfare, you reduce the deficit by about 5 trillion, growth is the way to, you know, balance this budget and one other quick thing, maria. She is in her plan, her tax rate on Small Businesses, we figure is very close to 50 for a lot of Small Businesses. Maria wow. The other 50, we are going hammer and say, we are going to create more jobs with the 15 than you are with the 50 tax. Cheryl what shes going to do is that the infraStructure Plan is going to offset the particular tax rate on Small Businesses. 275billion, thats something that shes going to expect to really hammer on today. That sort of sounds like the shovelready projects that barack obama almost everything in that plan as i see it, anthony, almost everything in there is what obama promised. Tax increase for the rich. Obama did that. Minimum wage increases, we had three of those. Infrastructure programs, we spent 8 00 billion under obama and infrastructure and where are the jobs . Anthony one thing thats missing is the transaction tax that she wants to put as relation of capital in the United States. Every time a stock trade goes down, she wants that tax as well, that will further constrict the flow of capital and another negative impact on the economy. Whats your reaction to that . I agree entirely with what youre saying, we want america to be the Financial Capital of the world. We want cities like new york city to be the place where business gets done and Financial Transactions happen. If we have this financial transaction tax, those transactions will move to london or tokyo or or beijing and other places. Youre in that industry, you know the devastating that tax would have. Maria the way they are marketing this is we are going to invest in goodpaying jobs and help Small Business. It sounds great but then when you look at the details, its raising taxes significantly on individuals as well as corporations and Small Businesses not going to see a break at all. I dont understand how this plan helps Small Business. I think one big question, though, is we have seen specially through primaries, voters, particularly democratic voters want redistribution of wealth. They want an economy that works for everyone. How does trump go out and explain that the policies dont work for voters. Thats not a tough sell, actually. Whatever voters are telling u. Look at every poll, what are they concerned, their paychecks are not rising, they are worried about whats happening to their jobs and seeing jobs overseas, it doesnt matter how many times we rescued the economy, most americans dont believe it. The Labor Department did revision and found wage growth has been slower, slower than they originally thought. Maria do you cut taxes on the the you know, lower end and or do you make it an environment where business has a favorable environment where they are encouraged to create jobs . Cheryl 15 which has gotten positive reaction from the business community. So shes going polar opposite, thats the rebuttal that we are going to hear from her today. The other thing that shes proposing, i cant wait to hear this afternoon, ensuring that workers are able to participate in company profits. What does that mean, steve . Liberal Bernie Sanders voters. Cheryl i dont think shes i dont know. Thats kind of an interesting idea, actually. I would like to see a kind of worker capitalism. Lets get workers invested in the companies they work for. I would like to see the details of that. Im a big believer in this. Back 10, 15 years ago when we try today allow individual workers to put Social Security money into owning companies, you cant possibly do that, its too risky. Maria maybe shes referring to employees getting more by just raising their wages. I dont know. But im going to go back to the main point. The tax issue is so important its not just taxes, maria, its also regulations, you talk about this every week on the show. Regulatory burden is more difficult for businesses. If you maria yeah. You get businesses to be healthy and our line healthy businesses create healthy jobs and lets face it, hillary remember just about a year or two ago she said businesses dont create jobs, remember that one . Maria dont let anybody tell you business creates jobs. At a Campaign Stop monday, steve, hillary slammed the makeup of trumps Economic Advisory council. Listen to this. [laughter] he announced a few days ago that hes got a dozen economic advisers, lets see, hes got three wall street Money Managers and oil baron, a former chief economist, one to have big banks at the heart of the financial crisis, hes got six men named steves. [laughter] and, you know, they all care about the same thing he does, about, you know, how to avoid paying their fair share. Maria hey, i guess youre one of those steves. You got a shoutout. Funny, we were going on a plane putting lastminute details, hey, steve we all turned around. There were three steves on the plane. Look, i am guilty of wanting to reduce my tax liability. Im like most americans, do i whatever i can to pay as little tax as i can, so im guilty of that charge. Maria well, people want to see taxes go lower and they feel if they have more money in their pockets, they would actually spend it. Thats the argument. Do you give the power to the people or do you give the power to the governments. Thats the argument here. Good to see you. Okay, thanks, maria.

Here is cheryl with the headlines. Cheryl the suit was brought by the widow who was of a man that was killed in jordan. She says that twitter knowingly let isis spread propaganda, raise money and attract recruits. Twitter cannot be held liable for isis rhetoric but he did give the florida woman to file an amended lawsuit. Theres a tinny bit of the gain for twitter. It closed 19. 04 last night. I also want to show you the stocks, shares of valient stocks plunging. Federal prosecutors are investigating where the company defraud. The drug maker is accused of hiding close relationship with maleorder pharmacy that boosted sales of the drugs. Valeant is cooperating with investigation but the stock higher but definitely a stock to watch when the markets open at 9 30 a. M. Eastern time.

Its a limited edition cookie, its the chocolate waffers, cream in the middle like the swedish fish, twitter hates this. Here a are a couple. They are definitely the worst invention food known to man. She says swedish fish favored oreos, no, thanks, you can keep them. [laughter] cheryl marketing genius. We own both of them, lets put them together. Its like the worst backlash.

Maria welcome back, an arkansas sheriffs deputy was killed, a police chief injured yesterday both responding to a disturbing call, the suspect taken to custody. July was the deadliest month for Law Enforcement in 2016. Gunfire claiming 12 of the 20 officers killed in the line of duty last month. This is according to officers down memorial page. The figure includes the officers killed in dallas, baton rouge, tragedies prompted the frisco, Texas Police Department to spend over a Million Dollars on Tactical Gear and equipment to protect officers. I want to bring john bruce of frisco department. Glad to be here. Maria why the numbers, what do you attribute downturn in terms of impact on Police Officers . Well, i think a lot of it has to do with society in itself as just are upset, their tempers are flaring and they just are taking it out on us finally. Maria so your thoughts on the latest officer being killed on theline of duty, youre saying because people are upset and things have flaired up and so they just, you know, hit back at police . Mental health is a big issue with all of this. It ties it together. I dont know the circumstances of the case in arkansas, whether or not the subject had any type of previous ptsd or other Mental Health issues. Maria what kind of gear are you buying, tell us where the investment is going to better or best protect your officers . What we are buying are external wear heavy armor as its called. Extra steel plates that go outside of the uniform in addition tactical helmets that are ballistic, hopefully stop a rifle round and both of these are design today stop rifle rounds. Additionally we are looking at upgrading our Patrol Rifle Program and where we are issuing the rifles as opposed to officers buying their own equipment. Maria where does this money come from in investing new things . Several items, fiscal year, seizure funds and the rest of it we have asked in our budget. Maria here is shelby holiday from the journal. Good morning, chief bruce. It struck me when i was covering the rnc and dnc that police didnt want to use body armor unless they had to. Sometimes it helps escalate violence. Are these things that you just outlined, will that be worn all of the time or only should be worn when necessary . No its not absolutely not going to be worn all of the time. It is strictly when officers come under fire or they know they are going into a tactical situation. Cheryl one of the things we saw really began in ferguson, particularly in baltimore took not combating to protestors, trying to calm nerves. If something were to happen in frisco, do you have that kind of plan in place where your officers know how to combat violent protests because its happening around the country . I believe we are prepared. We do a lot of deescalation training in order to talk to folks. Maria a lot of training in terms of new training for your Police Officers . We have increased that training but we have been doing training all along for years. Maria thank you. Chief john bruce there.

On the east coast, the candidates focused on issue number one, the economy. Hillary clinton and donald trump unveiling her plans to boos growth in the United States that we can, and race coming down to a few key states, the independents vote. Just the polls you over the last day or two have really tightened up a lot, we want a great victory. We may not agree on everything but this is not a normal election.

Good morning, maria. Maria youve got new information for us on the way things are looking for november, correct . We want to look at some swing states. All right. Lets do it. Maria okay, because just recently, i guess some of the swing states have changed direction solets first look at colorado, that changed from people leaning dplat to likely democrat since july 22 right. That is right the that is what changed is that the percentage of hispanics increased not just the population but at the registered voter pool, that donald trump is receiving the lowest percentage of the hispanic vote every recorded for a republican sings hispanics became important not zblust colorado but elsewhere. Maria wow, all right. Lets move over west on the map and go to pennsylvania, because there is a story there as well, that changed from likely democratic to leaning democratic, what happened there . There was a period of time, when it was possibly, possible that donald trump was going to put rust belt states like pebs in play. Because of his strong appeal to blue collar working class noncollege whites. And then believe me it is whites not minorities. Well that is over. While he still has an appeal to that group, it is being overwhelm by White College educated voters and literally every category of minority voters and they k comprise 30 American Voters this november. To virginia, also a change here, because after tim kaine was add to the democratic ticket virginia shifting from leans democratically to likely democratics what does that tell us. Good research in that field shows a strong particular advice president ial candidate tim kaine very well liked in virginia adds about 3 points to Hillary Clinton, lead had a lead now has a lead that is beyond what donald trump can overcome. Maria wow, okay. So arizona and georgia also worth looking at they moved to likely republican, to leaning republican. Another negative there. Yes, and i wouldnt bet more than 10 cents either one would end up in trumps camp in the end, right now we left them, with trump, as a jerk republican candidate but arizona in particular, because of the large hispanic population modified really to tossup status we dont use tossups on map very strict about that why we have Hillary Clinton 347 electoral votes you need 207 to win. Georgia is going to path of virginia and North Carolina fundamental georgia will vote democratic. Utah here a similar happening in utah we saw in coloradoing change as well utah from state republican to likely republican what caused that . Maria it is bizarre that is 70 republican state also mitt romneys state of greatest influence, and frankly, mormon in those utah elsewhere are very antitrump for lots of reasons, and he simply is drawing the lowest percentage for a republican since Barry Goldwater in 1964. Maria that is extraordinary larry sounds like you think certainly if the election were tomorrow Hillary Clinton wins but the swing states have really changed the game in terms of any lead that he has is that what you are saying . Yes, he had trump had an uphill climb to the presidency. In my view, from the very beginning we have always had Hillary Clinton the favorite the difference is, that the uphill climb is now on mount everest. I see does this change the electoral map long term there are some people out there say look it doesnt matter people dont admit who 240er going to vote for. You know at this stage of the game, is to does this do you think this is longlasting and change the electoral map i have been around a long time i remember the very same thing said in 1946 about Barry Goldwater there was Enormous Army of people ready to come out to Barry Goldwater continue tell poll strz he got 7 million votes, problem is Lyndon Johnson got 43 million. You think these changes are going to stick . I think most of them will stick, i am not saying in a there can be no changes we got a long way to go. Of the but for donald trump to be elected somebodying giant has to happen a major recession nobody saw coming or god forbid some amaze domestic terrorist act. Boat talking about economy, and pushing their plans this week, would that be something that would sway voters and change the makeup of this map . No. No . This is this is an election where people whether they are admitting it or not have already made the choice, believe me, you couldnt have two better defined zsdz better known in advance this is not a jimmy carter running. Right somebody in know un9 11 these two very wellknown basically made their choice. Great to see you thanks so much. Thanks.

You are i will take girl scout cookie check markets expecting higher opening for broader averages today Dow Jones Industrial average expected to be up 50 points, take a look, nasdaq s p higher, s p, in record territory, watching swlu of corporate earnings including macys kohls nordstrom Anthony Scaramucci looking at earnings dictateing the story. How are they. About earnings were going to be down 3 1 2 year he over year will be 5th quarter earnings down year over year basically in earning recession, you think that would show up in the stock market, but it is not showing up in the stock market because of where Interest Rates are where market thinks Interest Rates are going obviously lower that is what is going on earnings recession i just want american corporations ceos returning cash, right now, at a time when the cost of capital as it is lowest it has been 55 years, so we got to think they dont think great opportunity to invest, so rt give money back to the shareholders. Maria he fundamentals not great earnings down, yet there are very fie alternatives for money because rates are so cheap. So viewers buy high district off dividend yield. What happens when rates good up you get flexibility on the stocks because as rates are going up, that means that there is more opportunity out there, for investments, so those those markets should and an but you get crushed in the bonded market. I snow earnings are going to be down alibaba is up, 5r up 5 premarket earnings better. Good report on yesterday yes. Stock did well that pockets of brightness but in general were in earnings recession. By the way, shake shack down 120 right now valiant down 9 movers we are looking at a break when we come back 200 billion dollars it wasnt enough you from a fannie and freddie could eye more taxpayer money a materialistic struggles to recover from 2100 Flights Canceled back in a minute. . C sv. E battled news for economy good for home buyers Second Quarter gdp well below expectations since that report he mortgage activity has spiked, Mortgage Applications up he more than 7 last week, as the 30 year fixed Rate Mortgage fell for the second week in a row, joining us rightly now former fannie mae executive tim serving as chairman colin wood group thanks for joining us. Rock about whom Interest Rates had so many being kwliksz housing just talking about the markets, and is where few alternatives what is the most important implication of fed policy talk with. Fed policy is a saver for housing you cant argue changes 8 or 9 years helped how big market harder more expensive to find bummedble lots costs to originate a mortgage up 3x, it takes less labor to build f150 than it does to build manufacturer a morning credit tight so, yeah, certainly a, Interest Rates have saverior driving the recovery a long time. I am not so sure about that tim if you block with a what happened after the british vote, we had Mortgage Rates fall to 3 1 2 that is incredible again. And you didnt see any boost in housing you didnt see any bees boost in applications seems fed is kind of stuck. You can only pull off a drivers on so many holes that is the only tool that they really have, the only lever to be puddle i think a bit of fatigue on side of refinances but there is it is undeniable the low Interest Rates caused the affordability in terms of owning virus renting the best it has been in history. Some states, some states. For sure, i mean yeah you can everything, housing is certainly a lot exercise but when you cant argue is rents going up for the last 8 years, and while you have seen home price appreciation going up last 3 relative base. Focuses fannie and fred to return capital to treasury do you think that is a bad policy in the event we get a calamity there will be another big political about economic crisis on capitol hill . The issue with fannie mae, and freddie mac seems government kind of like, austerity engineering a crisis, to compel congress to act, you know, the fannie mae and freddie mac were really taken to task for dual purpose served leading up to housing crisis they had a public charter serving public purpose but private sector he enterprises thor private enterprise returning benefits to taxpayers serving this public purpose now a completely different scenario only in difference that they are providing a public purpose instruments of Public Policy for the government, but now instead of the shareholders, still a shareholder owned company mind you, instead of them getting the windfall profits it is going to Treasury Department to the tune so far 70 billion dollars above what was invested in those enterprises. Maria wow what stress does that represent because youve got new stress test results showing mortgage giants could be in line to request another 126 billion in bailout funds . If there the economic crisis . I mean, the public is certainly not happy about these companies needing more bailout. Yeah, that is absolutely sure if you talk to joe luncheon bucket on street what is your position fannie mae and freddie mac he reform would say those guys are worse than wall street guys took government subsidy mis appropriated it lined pockets makes sense, sure let me take you through how when we would reform xoenz how we are going to spend your 200 dollars a a month you are going to pay extra, lets tell you how, the shared sacrifice of that 5 or 10 portrays of value your property is going down, look we are all in this together for a greater cause people get religion pick talking real numbers not just abstract z philosophies snooz the idea splitting away from government creating mortgage giants that are truly private sector i recognize very difficult given size of companies will it become reality at some point. It has to, i mean unfortunately, washington as you know maria only time you had legislation when is one of two things happened, there is a crisis, the government is certainly working hard, to engineer a crisis, so that again congress is compelled to act are going to take on pass legislation when it really is so it doesnt even matter anymore so we might find ourselves 3, 4 years from now momentum ownership rates back up you have the private sector crowding back into the Mortgage Market where less relevant, until then i dont think you are go with to see much because, this way no one is getting elected based on housing reform proposal heads are going to roll first time legislation is antacid disrupts the that market. Good point. Shelby. At this point, are there any government incentives to allow fred and fannie to operate privately very easy to controllable profitable does government want to allow them to operate independently . It doesnt appear so i mean it is a polarizing topic one of these issues that energies boat parties base like tough talking in a mirror guys love to talk harsh talk about resolution g. O. P. , freddie mac and fannie mae when it comes down to it no urgency no benefit to the federal government making as i mentioned 70 billion dollars thus far, in clipping coupons about 10 to 15 billion dollars a year, from the dividends they pay, so great up to polarizing no urgency to fix it. I what about rolling back regulations you look at donald trump for example promising to roll back regulations repeal doddfrank, what ripple effects do you expect from that, would that affect the Housing Market . Because the Regulatory Environment is one of the issues. Umhmm, well i mean we to me that hillary unapologetically is Orange County o he status us would whatever your point of view Housing Market recovered because or despite existing policies. I can tell you firsthand that as a Small Business owner somebody until the Housing Finance sector less regulation would be a welcome thing right now as i mentioned, the cost was 8,000 dollars to originate a mortgage, beyond the cost and all costs manifest in higher costs to borrowers, higher Interest Rates worse service whatnot these organizations are also under ab incredible amount of scrutiny from administration in terms of o he Enforcement Actions Civil Penalties if you had friendlier he regime administration not looking for litigation but more partnership i can assure you you would have more fushl a credit more being a access to credit. Hasnt lending vooirm gotten better last two to three years with regards to fannie and freddie mac i say that because that has been good you up until now this year we seem to be seeing cracks not a Housing Market, and that is a very new phenomena can you tell us what is going on . Well, Housing Market you know obviously we mentioned certainly a local event, anything happening is going to be local we learned our lesson, that home prices dont increase or decrease on a National Level leading up to housing crisis, so there is avariety of different sources at play what you are seeing certainly on the mortgage side, is that you are seeing that definitely seeing a little bit of on the margins credit easing when they juice government problems Fannie Mae Freddie mac, fha hard Lesson Learned was they are not selling risk to government organizations it felt more like renting them. Good to see you thank so much, yeah. Thank you.

All stories coming up this morning on this hour and joining me to talk about it Fox Business Network Cheryl Casone wall street weak hottest Anthony Scaramucci wall street video reporter Shelby Holladay thanks for being here. Jamming we got cantmiss us host of ting and wilbur varnishy and Company Coming up, first we go book to the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton taking on donald trump Second Amendment comments, during an inventory if he had the democratic nominee warning his opponent to watch what he says. A words matter my friends. And if you are running to be president or you are president of the United States, words can have tremendous consequences. Clinton refusing criticism for comments as critics could it be out infamous instance where she told Senate Committee in benghazi hearing what was said didnt matter. The fact is we have four dead americans, was it because of a previous to or because of guys out for a walk decide they would kill some americans . What difference at this point does it make . Joining me former House Speaker fox news distributor Newt Gingrich good to see you mr. Speaker thanks for joining us. Good to be with you. So what do you think, the status of this race is right now we are looking at the polls earlier, newt, and some swing states, are showing that donald trump has lost ground after a couple tough weeks how would you characterize things. I think true probably a week ago i think in the last week uven for example, there was one point now i think in florida, four points in ohio and remember, she has spent i think 90 Million Dollars, in advertising, attacking trump he basically sent zero. So what you are seeing is a similar effort by jeed deeply on it trump and Clinton Campaign to try to drive him down far enough he cant recovery i think really going to fail, he is going to go into september as a very real contender, and i think the more that he finds his footing the more he focuses on message more likely to beat hillary i think in end you see in all different papers that are reporting on corruption of the state department, that is vivid and clear, and unequivocal you are learning that the obama Justice Department turned down fbi request to investigate corruption just compounds the parole problem hillary talks about people ought to know words matter a woman lies about lying, and then the idea that she is going to try to tell the rest of us, the words matter, which she want be honest about any aspect of what she has done in the last five or six years, i think is astonishing. Interesting that you mentioned fbi saying no, you koobt invest clinton you know investigate rather the Clinic Foundation the irs targeting conservatives youve got state department, pushing back own releasing information emails youve got the Justice Department Loretta Lynch meeting with bill clinton on plane privately yet is it resonating . You said all that money that Hillary Clinton spent, it is working for her right . I mean it would be if election were august 10 or august 15 the problem she has got election is in starts in late september minnesota earliest voting runs through october, but in the end, the question is, when we get to labor day does knee not trump out the answer i think know trump is a very viable candidate he is so much better than she is, on media so much more aggressive as a candidate, that i think he he will permanently be in the race have a very realistic chancerin through september and october. Does he need to be careful about quote casual comments what Clinton Campaign is using effectively you talk about every paper across the country this morning, they are breaking up the facts that making off the cuff comments does he seed to stop with because yu rhetoric that might be hurting him in the general . Look, he would be a better candidate if he were about 10 less spontaneous in areas that get him in trouble the truth is you know i look carefully what he said in that Second Amendment the other day such a total lie, to take that translate it as the elite media did four hours he immediately after it is plain a lie, what trump has to learn is if you are the conservative mrnl insurgent trying to change the media your mortal enemy if you give an opening they will lie but put you on defense eat up clock want to ropeadope they want to make sure that that campaign is not serious. If the campaign gets to be about serious issues hillary is going to lose very badly on the realities so bad. What about republican pleerdz abandoning him newt . This is an issue, because they are not doing anymore favors you got leaders coming out saying they are not going to superdonald trump clinic campaign lached on to it launched together for america a group that aims to embrace gop defectors, she is moving on it. U. She should be that is smoornt her party on the other hand i would describe i want to as together for the corrupt establishment, the fact is, you saw this other day with National Security people, trump is challenging the last 30 years of how we approached for example dealing byes almost a almost aic supremism a mud the point at war 15 years not winning the people ran that war for bush and people who ran that war for obama, are united in not wanting to have that debate so what they are going to say it is all trumps he he terrorismment nine killed won over 3400 dead in chicago since obama sworn in more killed in chicago than you afghanistan and iraq combined, during the obama years, the democrats do nothing about it and you look item after item like this, and then, what they want to do is yell he temperament because they cant debate any series issues. Shelby from the journal. Hey newt i got a question for you we are talking about polls one of the reasons clinton up in swing states incredibly organized, she has the ability to advertise attack donald trump when he makes a comment people misinterpret, does donald trump show any signs of want to go advertise in swing states or have a ground game come november . Sure, look first of all the Republican National committee under chairman Reince Priebus has biggest ground game in republican history huge number field people across the country i think you are seeing an effort advent Republican National committee and trump youre corrects trump i raised 82 Million Dollars last month. He is putting money in the bank, for the post labor day campaign, she is Public Sector money on television right now. The election aint right now watched friends running for election in senate as you pressed spent, for week after week, then sometime around september 15 all washed out, i think she is going to find the same thing here. You think he can come back you think he can come back then. Oh, i think he will come back i tell everybody i think that the correct analogy to this year is harry truman in 1948 people thought he was so far behind at labor day gallup quit polling thought election was over, truman understood that if he was very aggressive and very vigorous told his version of the truth that he could beat dewey he couldnt beat him doing with a new york establishment doing but could beat doing what missouri wanted trump represents a pronounced you you insurgency in this country against corrupt washington establishment you have more examples of corruption this morning, phenomenal democrats would unemployment a person this corrupt and try to get us to make her president. Mr. Speaker, given what you just said about the corruption, and what we know about the smain stream media mow would you a advise Trump Campaign to get out to average he voter. I would advise them make it bigger not smaller this isnt just about Hillary Clinton this is about entire system of corruption. We are at a point this system is so disserved the country lowest Home Ownership over 50 years the service so bad 3400 People Killed in chicago. The system is so bad you know tell levels of crony corruption, and were seeing day after day not just Hillary Clinton, it is an entire system of corruption, she is the personification of it frankly a number of the republicans who are siding with her are insiders who say life would be claengs if donald trump became president a, i happen to think it is good for america to break up the washington system, and to get back to being a a much more open country. Maria yeah something not cliektdz he had economic speech earlier this week i would think that you you know as a supporter you want him to ride that economic speech and instead you are talking about he is talking about lots of different subjects instead of riding that economic speech trying to make it resonate with somebody who is worried about Economic Growth worried about their job, how is he going to do that. What he has to learn to do take one theme for a week stay on it do it every single rally, figure out a different angle every day you guys wouldnt cover the same speech five days in a row. You can do different angle economics five straight as the reagan people lad the problem had to pull off trail in august 1980 two days in sr. , Leadership Meeting trying to get reorganized because is they had a terrible start after convention figured out one, dont give the media something that to attack you for, even if they are going to lie about it to do it, two, figure out what the key big themes are drive them into the ground say them so even our bored to death average american is starting to hear them got very good at that by mid september, reagan had a very, very powerful rhythm.

This is about rationalization, maria not any longer about growth at least on bricksandmortar companies macys cutting 100 stores getting a stock up 10 , and doing a very, very good job of going away delivering what people want in their stores, versus going to bring on amazon, so there apparel going up still struggling in general retail is going to struggling dramatically relative to amazons of the world. Margins have come down. Macys can be done k consumer to expect a deal discount one day sale at macys was every day sale at macys you wonder if consumer is coming back willing to pay for anything, that is probably why margins are companies positions themselves for that are just Consumers Want deals from here on out. They want deals i think. I think it is a constant deal cycle have to deal with rising cost of labor particularly 15 dollars minimum wage, shake shack not doing well the cost of profits delivering food is going up, and time you can go to Grocery Store you can buy a food there, cheaper price that is putting pressure on fast food outlets.

A short break tale of two plans coming up from free college to Mortgage Rates how each candidate plans to impact your money is it time how Major League Clubs respond to requests. Back in a moment. Welcome back. Happy thursday, im Maria Bartiromo. Its thursday, august 11th. 8 30 a. M. On the east coast. The candidates are focusing on issue number one, the economy. Hillary clinton and donald trump wasted no time attacking one anothers records. I am someone who believes that if we do infrastructure and we do clean we Newable Energy jobs we are going to be on the way to a 21st century economy. We can be the Clean Energy Super Power of the 21st century. Hillary clinton will be worse than obama. You know it. Shell be worse. Dont forget when she made the statement shes going to essentially put the mines and miners out of business, going to put them out of business and i guess she forgot about west virginia. Maria were looking at that and fund raising efforts. New trouble for valeant, making a criminal investigation. The stock is down 10 already in the premarket. Stock has gotten crushed of the checking the broader markets, meanwhile, expecting a higher average, dow expected to open up 30 points and this morning, its more about the Retail Sector than others and its better than expected news, largely. In news, strength in france, cac quarante up, and dax in germany off of the highs, but none of the less higher by a third of a percent. And in asia, not major moves by any means. Unone market under pressure. The International Energy agency loge the demand for Oil Last Year as Saudi Oil Production hits a new record. Tim tebow looking to maybe the jump from the gridiron to the diamond. Do Major League Teams want to put him on the roster . Turning back for the race to the white house. Donald trump on the attack and slamming Hillary Clintons economic record. As shes set to unveil his tax plan in warren, michigan today. Thats why i rolled out specific plans about how to create more jobs, to get incomes rising, in the first 100 days of my administration, we will make the biggest investment in new jobs, good paying jobs since world war ii. Shes going to make a jobs speech or something tomorrow, a speech on the economy. Look at what she did during her term as senator. She promised the world and it went like this. It went down. And she got virtually no legislation passed. Maria lets get to business now. Wl roth and Company Chairman and strategy, wilbur roth. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Maria from a business standpoint, youve got to, obviously, create jobs and do a balance sheet. What plan do you think is better . Well, i think hillarys plan, according to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, would shrink the economy and cost 311,000 jobs. Thats not from the Trump Campaign, thats from the Tax Foundation. Second, she isnt dealing at all with the problem of bad imports that directly take jobs from america. Shes not dealing with that. She hasnt met a trade deal that she didnt like and theyve all been job destructive. So, what shes really trying to do is invent the fiction of infrastructure to patch up this broken system. The problem with infrastructure is, number one, there are no shovelready jobs. Remember, obama giant infraStructure Plan, shovelready jobs. Did you ever see one of those shovelready jobs materialize. Maria no. I didnt. What will happen, the money will get sucked up into other things. As to becoming a Clean Energy Super Power, thats an objection more oxymoronic term. It will maze the cost of energy and will cost the average American Family 5,000 a year. What does she think thats going to do to Consumer Spending. Maria and the other thing is taxes. So shes raising taxes. Im trying to figure out, anthony, scaramucci, where it is that the clinton plans helps Small Business. She wants to help Small Business and at the same time raising taxes on individual and business income. How does that help Small Business . It will make big businesses smaller, thats how shell help Small Businesses. [laughter] and to wilburs point, the smaller businesses are going to be taxed at around 50 because at the end of the day, it flows through the individual, maria and those taxes are just going up ridiculously. My question of wilbur, you and i have studied these plans and youve been in business half a century. What are we missing communication as fellow republicans we should be winning this race 6040 in my mind. What is it that were missing . One of the things that were missing is the fact is theres only one segment that will really pay more tax under the trump plan and thats people like me, who have carried interest because were going to be taxed at the 33 . Then, thats higher than the tax rate we have now. So, its an interesting contrast that here you have the republican, whos going to effectively raise taxes to people like me, which is fine because i think that donald will spend the money wisely, i dont mind paying a little more in tax. Whereas hillary is not dealing with that issue at all, except by raising everybodys taxes. Maria right. Shelby, what about that . I have a question about trade. Trade is a flash point. We saw people with tpp signs at rn krchc and dnc, but trump sca fiscal republicans when he talks about taxes china, and tariffs. Does he specifically know what he wants to renegotiate when it comes to nafta, does he have a backup plan for tpp . First of all, lets talk about the tpp and lets talk about the fact that theres already 2 trillion trade deficit with those countries that are in tpp without them getting the new tax advantage. Third, there are plenty of loopholes in the tpp. For example, in automotive, the majority of the content of the car could come from outside the tpp countries, notably china, which is not the signatory, and yet, be imported into mexico, assembled there, come into the u. S. Free of mexican tax, free of u. S. Tax. Thats a weird idea of building a trade block when you have it so pourous you can let third parties benefit from it. Look, i think that redoing trade deals is fine if america can get a better situation, but i think people are nervous about doing everything over from scratch all at once. Whether that be a Disruptive Force in the economy if you redo nafta, if you redo china, redo the deal with mexico all at ounce or is he not proposing to do all of this. Lets see what he says. The quote reports 40 tariff on china. Maria and he wont back from that, he never said that here is what he said in the trade speech, if it turns out that the chinese are found to have been manipulating their currency by at much as 45 and arent willing to negotiate, we may have to go as far as to impose a 45 tariff as a negotiating measure. Maria yeah. Now is that a wild thing . No. Its simply explaining the kind of negotiating posture hed begin to take. Maria i think thats smart, a smart idea. Lets talk about infrastructure for a second. You said there are no shovelready jobs and you mentioned this is going to be the crux of the plan. I think well hear im going to stimulate the economy and shovelready projects. And weve heard this before and heard it from president obama and seems like more of the same. And taxes like the buffett rule, anyone with more than 5 million in income. A couple of things, there are no shovelready projects, never have been and never will be. With the new rules and regulations that obama has included in hundreds of executive orders and such, it will take years before any shovel gets into the ground anyway. So, thats the number one problem. The number two problem, if you build a bridge to nowhere, you get the onetime shot of the jobs and then you get stuck with the cost of maintaining it for the rest of its life. So, again, its an illusion. Whats wrong with america is that the only thing that shes really been effectively importing is favors to foreigners in return for contributions to the clinton foundation. Maria do you think thats going to resonate with voters . Because we talk about this a lot. Im not i dont know if its actually having an impact. It was having an impact. Well, i think especially with these new revelations about emails and late night phone calls to people in the state department, how do you explain that . Do normal citizens get to make a late night call to a high official in the state department . No. Or possibly the president of the United States . If she wins this election . I mean, its an ongoing issue. Its know the something thats going away. Maria and there is an investigation underway, but you have to wonder when you get the results of it, a fbi investigation. How many investigations does it take before people conclude where theres smoke theres fire . Is it 10, 20, 100 investigations . How many does it take before people catch onto the joke that theres something wrong going on there . Shes the most investigated public official in the history of the United States. Maria its quite extraordinary, actually. Its a wonder that she has the strength to do anything else. Maria well, its good to see you. Thanks for weighing in, important points you brought up. Wilbur ross joining us. And is u. S. Headed the way of europe . Stuart varney on what voters need to know before they head to the polls.

Hillary clinton in michigan where she will announce the plan to grow the economy. Will it create prosperity in the u. S. Or open the door to some socialist policies that weve seen in europe . We want to bring you the host of Varney Company right now. Stuart varney, whats your take . I think i know your take. Stuart i knew that was my introduction, i just knew it. [laughter]. Maria well look, i consider myself in a funny sort of way a refugee from european socialism. I know at that sounds strange. I wasnt exactly running for my life when i came here 40 years ago. I thought of myself running to an opportunity that a vigorous and dynamic america offered. What i ran not, not ran away from. Its disappointing for me to see a Major Political candidate, Hillary Clinton, proposing that america become much more like europe. Weve had eight years of this drift towards europe. I think Hillary Clinton will enhance that. We are going to get details today, as you said, maria, of her plan from michigan. Well hear about her plan for the economy. Shes going to tax, shes going to spend. There it is on the screen, debtfree college give a lot of stuff away. This reminds me very much of the way europe is now. I think she wants to make america much more like europe. I dont like it. I want a vigorous, dynamic, growing american economy, thats my reference. Im staying here. Maria youve seen this before though, stuart. Do you think that resonates with younger people . Weve got Shelby Holliday from the journal on the panel today. Youre a millennial. Stuart shelby. Maria does what stuart say resonate with you . Well, you know, debtfree college seems like that promise of recess all day at school when youre running for your middle school presidency. I dont see how you can do it. That said, this is the number one concern for people who are graduating from college, they enter a weak work force, they cant pay their student loans. So debtfree college is probably one of the most appealing things that come out of this. How can it work. Even though we know it cant work. Stuart its buying votes, here, ill give you this, vote for me. Right. Stuart the key constituency, millennials, ill give you this, vote for me. You can only do that so long. Europe is not a Sustainable Business model, ill give you everything, just keep voting in socialism, its not working, theyre bankrupt. Almost dead stop, an economy in the decline. I dont want to see that in america. Unfortunately, we need student loan reform. Stuart how are you going to do it. We need a plan. Stuart not by free. Giving away college is not be po. Stuart no, its not. Its not possible and the results will be, you know, really bad news for so many people. What about the person whos working their own way through college right now. Working, not taking out loans, what about them . Theyre high and dry after this. Maria stuart, great points. We know well see you in ten minutes. See you at the top of the hour. Varney Company Begins at 9 a. M. Eastern right after mornings with maria. The true cost of gold, will winners may see a tax bill rather than a ticker tape read when they get home. Hes picking up the bat, but will major league pick up tim tebow. His quest next. In. I was a smoker. Hands down, it was, thats who i was. After one week of chantix, i knew i could quit. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Most common sideaffect is nausea. Life as a nonsmoker is a whole lot of fun. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Well, lets take a live look live at the olympic park. U. S. Dominates, including a 19yearold swimmer, pulling off a comeback to remember. Jared max with more on that. What can Katie Ledecky not do . What is it about the state of maryland producing our greatest swimmers . Baltimore claims Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky. The best from the United States. She competed for her third gold of these olympic games, swimming in the womens relay. The United States was trailing behind australia until Katie Ledecky jumped into the pool and she took over in the relay and overtook the lead and got her third geld medal and fourth overall. Check out Katie Ledecky way back in the day at an autograph signing with Michael Phelps. 2006, nine years old looking to her further and want to go further back when she was two years old. Thats Michael Jordan holding Katie Ledecky as a twoyearold holding her. Her uncle used to be a minority owner as well as the washington capital. And Michael Phelps goes for his fourth gold medal. How many gold medals have they got. They say theyve won 1,000 gold medals all time and others say 977, 986. Back in the day we didnt have as comprehensive data so results will vary, and who is to say the United States didnt win a gold in barrel jumping as we see in this. Barrel jumping. Times have changed in the olympics. Barrel jumping. Still have fencing. By the way, golf competition began for the first time in 112 years. Its a new car, you were excited when you won it on the price is right. No different for gold and silver medals. Value is gold medal is 546. Silver around 305. Bronze medals have quote, little intrinsic value. Taxable. Prize money, bonuses and endorsements. For every gold medal a u. S. Olympian wins gets 25,000, 15,000 silver, 10 bronze. And tim tebow is ready to go at another pro career, major league baseball. He plans to hold a workout and all 30 baseball teams will be invited to see his skills. He was an allstate in florida,. 494 as a junior. Can he be the next two sport star. Dont ask the bucs buck showalter. And he said i bet he was a good player in high school, i was, too. Buck showalter making bigger news than when he was on seinfeld. Maria thanks. We have our allstar panel and well have that after the break. Stay with us. Welcome back, lets get the final thoughts. Cheryl casone. Delta airlines, that company is in crisis. The ceo had to come out twice and apologize and still not confirming theyre able to have operations back up and running today. This is very bad for this airline. Maria did you say we have breaking news on the climber, that they are identifying who that is . Theyre identifying him, 19yearold steven rogata from virginia and hes still in bellview this morning as far as i know. Maria Shelby Holliday, final thoughts. Dont climb any towers with suction cups, and jobs, came on, its a race to see which candidate can convince theyre the best for the economy and polls show theyre pretty even. Donald trump had a big lead, but well see if he can keep it. Maria Hillary Clinton is going to unveil her plan today in michigan. Anthony scaramucci what are you talking about . I hope that speech doesnt go too well. I want to talk about the dividend stocks in the market, the safest in the corner right now. Stocks that are large capitalized and high yielding will do well the next three to six months. Maria are they still a good value even after the market traded up . Now were talking about the market being up substantially. I believe so, because when you look where the 5 and 10year treasury is youll pick up stocks, 2 to 300 basis points over the 5 or 10year treasury. Maria anthony, ill join you on wall street week . Yes, a big guest this week, bill miller, some exciting plans well talk with him. Legendary investor. Maria bill miller announcing hes buying out the stake from legg mason that he runs. Well talk with him. And anthony, cheryl, shelby, good to see you. Same time, same place tomorrow. Well handicap it for you. Varney Company Begins right now, stuart, over to you. Stuart thank you very much indeed. So what do we really want . To be more like democratic socialist europe . Or pro growth america . Hillary clinton or donald trump . That is a fairly clear choice, good morning, everyone. A few hours from now, Hillary Clinton will reveal her plan for the economy. The broad outline is clear, taxes will go up. Spending will go up. She hopes the number of jobs will go up. Youll probably hear the words fair share. A Clinton Presidency would be a third term of redistribution, thats europe. Weve already heard from donald trump. Hes going for growth, Economic Growth, cut taxes, cut regulation, energy independence, renegotiate trade deals
