And Political Correctness run amok as Public University cancels a conservative speaker after liberal activists protested. What happened to free speech . Gerri joining me now Ford Oconnell and chuck rocha. Lets start with blake burman in d. C. Blake, the debate tonight in texas, is this not a doordie state for ted cruz . Reporter well, gerry i put that very question to the Cruz Campaign earlier today. A top cruz aide would not go that far unsurprisingly. They said they hoped to do well in texas, is how they put it. Looking to endorsement of the governor of state, greg abbott who has a strong relationship with ted cruz. The can diet has not been bash if you recall talking about the significance of texas and it is 155 delegates, more than the early four states combined. Cruz said tuesday will be the most important day in the president ial cycle. The crown jewel of super tuesday is the great state of texas. [cheers and applause] 155 delegates, nearly 15 , of whats required for the nomination, will be decided, by the men and women in this room and the people all across this great state. Reporter a poll out today from Monmouth University has cruz more than holding his own in his home state. It shows him with support of 38 of Texas Republicans there. Donald trump at 23. Marco rubio at 21. But the important number here, gerri is 20. 20 is the threshold any candidate needs to clear in order to receive delegates from texas come tuesday night. Back to you. Gerri blake, thanks for the great reporting. Turning to chuck and ford. Ford, i start with you. Youre seeing numbers, right . Trump has been like a freight train. He is on a role here taking three states. Is there anything candidates can do at this point to stop him . They can start winning. That is best way to stop donald trump. Gerri beyond that my friend. Trump. Donald trump is not inevitable. For Ted Cruz Super tuesday is needs to take home the most delegates the southern strategy is so important to him. Problem for ted cruz, guess what . Donald trump is appealing to evangelical voters. Gerri chuck to you, Campaign Calling it a crown jewel, super tuesday, can either candidates really bring down trump . Do you see it happening . It will be hard. Theyre working against math. Theyre working against timing. It is running out. Sure there is a lot of delegates available on super tuesday, after that it is winner take al. They need to do something abrupt and tonight. They need to take out the king if they want to be the king. They need to focus on him and focus on taking him down. They dont have enough time yet to make this thing a long slog. The way the republicans have it with winnertakeall after super tuesday. Gerri rubio, for example, has not gone after trump at all ford. Do you see him doing it tonight . They have to. Rubio and cruz have to stop the little squabbling amongst each other. Every time they squabble trump laps them. Cruz and rubio will have to turn the collective fire on trump. They need to start with breaking up the myth that donald trump is great businessman. They have to turn around basically say will trump help the little guy or he is a con artist . Gerri i want to get to this bombshell that came from mitt romney. We talked a lot about it yesterday. Neil cavuto interviewed mitt romney. Here is what romney had to say. We have good reason to believe there is a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. What do you mean . I. I think there is something there, either he is not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is or hasnt been paying kind of taxes we would expect him to pay. The reason i think he is a bombshell in there, every time he is asked about his taxes, he dodges, delay, says, well, were working on it. Gerri were working on it. Chuck, to you, i think this is very curious romney going after trump. What do you make of it . Tabloid headline, romney and hillary team up to take down trump. Talk about what the establishment is, mitt romney is the establishment. Theyre not happy what is happening in trump world. Theyre trying to come up with something to take hum down. They want their golden boy rubio to rise to the top. It is concerted effort by the establishment wing of the party to take down donald trump. If they will not do it themselves, outside people are weighing to take down someone who scares you know what out of the establishment. I cant believe im agreeing with chuck on that. Guess what this is about . Casting doubt on Donald Trumps vision. That he will be the guy making America Great again. Is he really questioning whether he is a great businessman or some buy with a silver spoon in his mouth and whether he will protect the little guy or just a con artist. This is grenade to start the questioning process. Whether or not it is successful we wont know. Time is running out for cruz and rubio. Gerri its a grenade, for sure, but chuck, there is no evidence . Where is the evidence . You throw a big bomb out there . I think where are his taxes . We dont even have numbers. There is no hard information out there to criticize. Look, im not saying that im standing behind trump. Im saying it is very odd to see mitt romney do this because he is not usually a bomb thrower. No matter if youre a democrat or republican like my friend ford, cardinal rule, get out, identify show who your opponent is before you do. This is ugly game not based on truth. They need to run on stuff they stand for. Ugliness of what politics is. That is why the American Population is seen a rise of trump and bernie sanders. There is whole group of americans feel like their government dont speak for them. Where is the proof that cruz and rubio are not natural born citizens . That is the point. Gerri well have a lot of fun days coming up here. Ford, chuck, thank you for coming on. See you soon. Thank you. Thank you. Gerri there is a lot on the line on super tuesday, voters in 11 states going to the polls to award nearly 600 delegates. Donald trump has a sizable lead in every state except texas. As he lives up to his promise of winning can the billionaire be stopped . That is what everybody is asking. Fox news media biz host howard kurtz. Joins me. The media decided trump will never lose. Seems only three months ago they were saying he can never win. Where is the truth . Con from impossible to inevitable. Certainly in very strong scenario right now. New media scenario possibly could maybe lose if he got oneonone with for example, marco rubio. Wave the magic wand, shove the otherwise out of the race that rubio could consolidate antitrump sentiment, based on my reporting Trump Campaign finds that very amusing. Weve been looking at numbers and what i find so interesting when you look rat polls in other states like at polls in other states, new jersey, massachusetts, trump is rolling up numbers that beats entire field, right . I was going to cite those. Trump at 50 in massachusetts. 38 in new jersey, rubio 11, cruz 10. Doesnt matter if you combine their votes. Media at least view of people around trump trying to have it both ways. Trump may have won 46 in nevada caucuses that means half of republicans oppose him. 79 of those who doesnt vote for marco rubio in nevada oppose him. Trump is growing his share, trump has in each succeeding contest. As people drop out, soandso will get all of supporters of that candidate. Trump will get his share as well. So i dont think there is a magic bullet here other than wiping the floor with them in the debate tonight, and or racking up some important delegates wins on super tuesday. Within on one thing if it happens will not suddenly turn the race upside down. Gerri i love what you write about rubio and cruz being in a Demolition Derby and i think that is exactly what is going on. I keep asking people when is rubio growing to come out swinging against trump . When is that going to happen . What happens if we have the oneonone . You mentioned this before. This is risky strategy for rubio. He saw what happened to cruz. Cruz got into a street brawl with the guy and his numbers has gone down. I dont think rubio has a choice. He says i dont like to attack republicans this is contact sport and if he doesnt go against trump and do it very quickly and florida comes up and he may lose and at that point the whole ballgame is over. Gerri trump is not attacking rubio much. That is matter of time, right . Trump takes a few swipes. Swipes a lot in debates. Trump is classic counterpuncher, rubio is not attacking him, let the cubanamerican senators go at it and i will soar above them in this Demolition Derby. Gerri you bring up the cuban senators, why, in south carolina, rubio and cruz can not take majority of hispanic voters is shocking. What is your reed of that . That is stunning statistic. Exit polls are not perfect. Donald trump created so much controversy on day he got into the race, comments about mexican immigrants, running against two cuban lawmakers win hispanic vote. Flight cruz or rubio are taking advantage of their natural ethnic appeal. Gerri howard, you and i will watch this with great interest. It is so fascinating, well talk to you again soon. Good to see you, gerri. Gerri dont forget to watch mediabuzz on the Fox News Channel at 11 00 a. M. And 5 00 p. M. Eastern every sunday. Lets check on those markets. Take a look. The dow is up 132 points. Good news there. The s p up 12. Nasdaq is up 15. Good day. Stocks jumping after oil rebounding. They always same to travel together, dont they . Coming up apple ceo tim cook says government demand as the to create special software to ask crack the terrorist iphone, liking asking them to make the software equivalent ever cancer. Amid reports that company is creating brand new security measures to make it impossible for the government to break into a locked iphone. Thats next. In new york state, we believe tomorrow starts today. All across the state, the economy is growing, with creative new business incentives, and the lowest taxes in decades, attracting the talent and companies of tomorrow. Like in buffalo, where the largest solar gigafactory in the western hemisphere will soon energize the world. And in syracuse, where imagination is in production. Let us help grow your companys tomorrow today at business. Ny. Gov this would be bad for america. It would also set a precedent i think many people in america would be offended by. It is in our view the software equivalent of cancer. Gerri wow. So apple ceo tim cook saying it would be bad for america if his company were to comply with the fbis demand to unlock the iphone of one of the san bernanadino shooters. Cook went on to say he is ready to bring his fight to the white house and the supreme court. This as fbi director james comey says this is a tough issue and there are no demons in the fight. Liz macdonald has been following the story. Joins me with the latest. Liz . Tim cook, saying from apples perspective, this too is Public Safety issue. Basically using fbis own language and words there, because he is essentially saying that, you know, privacy and security of iphones and apple devices is a Public Safety issue because of hackers, because health information, Financial Information is on the phone. But you know jim comey at fbi is essentially taking apples own words and is countering it and rebutting it as, basically just saying everything tim cook said in the abc interview is essentially wrong. Listen to what james comey, fbi director, just testified to this morning . This is the hardest question ive seen in government and it will require negotiation and conversation but ive been very keen to keep the bureau out of the policy making business. Reporter what he is saying here yes he, there needs to be a legislative fix, gerri. James comey says were not trying to send a broader message. Not trying to set a precedent with the san bernanadino terrorist iphone case, county Health Department owns and given apples permission to access. He is saying essentially the judge, court order from the judge directed apple to write code, software only for that one phone. And he is saying, james comey is saying that code he thinks, that idea it would get out into the wild, according to his own experts, theyre saying that is not the case. That that is wrong. That essentially apple would retain, you know, custody of the code. Gerri right. Withering comment from james comey, he said that apple has done a pretty darn good job of protecting Software Code to date. You dont see Apple Software out in public at all right now. Gerri lizzie, youve done a great job covering this story. Our viewers are fascinated, rivetted by this so i want to ask you this. Apple ceo called for commission. There is conversation about having legislation for congress. All of that could take a very long time. In interim, we could have terrorist attack based on information in the terrorist iphone. Gerri yes. And reporter yes, the fear the issue will get entombed in a Commission Study sort of like Social Security reform. No one likes to live in east german state where governments does surveillance. Nobody wants that. However we know for years the telecoms and banks have been giving information to Law Enforcement when it is National Security issues. When there is a fear, there will be another terrorist attack. These San Bernardino terrorists are hoarding pipe bombs and military equipment. The fear is there was broader plot in the works. So that is what is at issue right now. Gerri liz, great stuff. Thanks for coming on. Sure. Gerri coming up, directors of the fbi and cia on capitol hill today on rising threat of isis and the National Security implications of the governments standoff with apple over unlocking a terrorist iphone. Thats next. Choose world. Choose, choose, choose. But at bedtime. Why settle for this . Enter sleep number and the ultimate sleep number event going on now. Sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. You like the bed soft. Hes more hardcore. So your sleep goes from good to great to wow only at a sleep number store, all beds on sale right now save 50 on the ultimate limited edition bed. Know better sleep with sleep number. Gerri standoff we were talking about before between apple and fbi hitting capitol hill today. The directors of fbi and cia that is, testifying before the House Intelligence Committee on the terror threats facing our nation and front and center of hear something apples refusal to obey a court order, much to the frustration of fbi director james comey. Peter barnes in washington with the details. Peter . Reporter gerri the fbi direct said this case is no about setting a precedent and doubts the case will do that because technology is moving so quickly. So he said policymakers need to settle the issue with legislation as you and emac were talking about but finding right balance between personal privacy and encryption and Law Enforcement is the hardest question he has ever seen in government. All of us in the Intelligence Community have been talking about to sound and alarm because we see increasingly in our National Security work and bureau has significant criminal responsibilities, in our criminal investigative work, increasing situations where we can not, with lawful court orders Read Communications of terrorists, gangbangers, pedophiles, all different kinds of bad people. Reporter comey said policymakers need to understand cost of inaction and if there are other attacks at some point, quote, dont look at us five years from now and say where were you guys when this happened . But he deferred on any specific policy recommendation. Gerri . Gerri peter, thank you for that. Here with more analysis lets bring in retired Lieutenant Colonel ralph peters. Colonel, thanks for coming on the show. I think this is fascinating because youre in a situation here where we have these threats obviously, we can do something about them but now will we even have access to the information . Do you believe apple should comply with this court order . The. 100 . Like hillary clinton, apple can not be above the law. And i am revolted by tim cooks pretense at an ethical stance on all this he is protecting the American People. No. Apple is protecting terrorists, and drug cartels. And, murders and criminals. I would love to ask, tim cook one question, gerry. Gerri. Mr. Cook, if the people you love most in the world were murdered and one of the killers dropped a smartphone on the site of the murder, wouldnt you want the cops or the fbi to be able to read the data on that phone . I mean this idea that he is protecting the American People is nonsense. He is protecting apples brand, and apple is selling products to some very, very bad people around the world. This, i worked in intelligence for over 22 years, gerri. We dont spy on the American People. We dont do it. We just dont. We protect the American People. But this myth has been propagated that the government is always snooping on us. So that the tech giants have turned this into a nation of narcissistic exhibition its posting nude selfies on internet and worried about the government snooping on us. Gerri i hear what youre saying and im really taken by your comments and the fbi directors comments that the people really benefiting from this are pedophiles, murderers, really truly bad guys. Yes. Gerri i dont really understand why, why these companies, apple, now getting support from microsoft, are they being so defiant in the face of, this government effort to unlock one cell phone, just one cell phone . Well, because secrecy sells. For apple, this is about branding. I mean, it is selling to terrorists but also selling to every pathetic husband who doesnt want his wife to know he is trolling porn sites. We have obsession with secrecy. We lost sight of the fact bad people are exploiting secrets. I dont believe everything should be out in the open but i do think congress will eventually come to terms with this. Well need some sort of licensing form. We simply can not allow, can not allow terrorists and Drug Cartel Leaders and mafiosi to use this secrecy against it. As director comey talked about, there will be a incident and people will be crying intelligence failure. We are preventing our intelligence personnel, real professionals, patriots from protecting americans. Tim cook is not protecting americans. Tim cook is protecting apple. Gerri you make a good point but as i said all of Silicon Valley seems to be lined up against the fbi here. Yes. Gerri isis, just let me mention quickly here, and i want to hear what you have to say about it, direct threats against mark zuckerberg, jack dorsey, leaders of the tech community. Isnt it ironic those people are being threatened and yet they dont want to do what they can to help fight the fight . It is about business. Certainly ironic. And hypocrisy, thy name is Silicon Valley. While they spin this myth about the government snooping on us all, in fact, who are the great data collectors on americans . Google. Google. I served in the military for almost 22 years, in military intelligence. The government has all my military records. Google knows more about me than the federal government does. Gerri okay. Facebook. Theyre the ones are stealing our data and selling it and profiting from it and theyre blaming the government . Gerri i can just see the emails coming in now. It is nsa they have all the information. Yeah. They dont. Gerri get to one other topic before you go and this is something i found riveting. There was a riot breaking out in belgian migrant camp after migrants clashed with afghans. Why . Because a young syrian girl was not wearing a headscarf. How out of control is the situation . What is going to happen in europe now with these people, out of control as you can see from this video right now, over a girl not wearing a headscarf . What is going on . What is going on, two groups are coming to europe, legitimate refugees, who are small minority coming in and a vast sea of migrants, predominantly young males, countries where there is no threat, morocco, algeria. Now theyre coming from afghanistan and coming from iraq and just coming to profit from it. So the, legitimate refugees in that camp, syrians, who are relatively educated people, their daughter went out without a headscarf. These fundamentalist fanatics from iraq and afghanistan attacked them. There was riot. Violence, blood all over the place. The fundamental problem here, is weve abandoned the immigration model that worked throughout history where the immigrants must adapt to the values of the receiving society. Because of Political Correctness, we have a situation where these fundamentalist extremists come to europe and, to a lesser extent, the united states, and believe they have a right, not just that they can but they have a right to import their primitive, barbaric values, their treatment of women. So you get in this camp, paradox of attacking a young syrian girl for not wearing a headscarf. These are same people sexually assaulting european women. The plague is inside of the city walls. Gerri the playing is inside of the city walls. Colonel peters, thank thank your bringing your intelligent comments. I love speaking with you, gerri. Too long. Gerri there is liberal schedule law, would force businesses among other things, give employees, their schedules at least a week in advance. Latest assault on business. It ultimately will cost you, consumer big time. Thats coming up. Were the hottest Young Company around but if we want to keep the soda pop flowing we need fresh ideas got it. We slow, we die. What about cashing out . No im trying to build something here. How about using fedex ground for shipping . I dont need some kid telling me how to run a business ive been doing this for 4 long months. Fedex ground can help us save money and deliver fast to our customers. Not bad, kid. You remind me of a younger me. Aiden the dog is eating your retainer again. Lets take a short 5minute recess. Fedex ground is faster to more locations than ups ground. Gerri youre not going to believe this one. Hourly workers up in arms today demanding even more benefits from their employers. After winning a 15 minimum wage and mandatory paid sick leave, seattle workers are now saying they deserve what theyre calling a livable work schedule. What does that even mean . And local businesses support these concessions . Were going live to seattle where fox news correspondent dan springer joins us now. Dan, what are these workers asking for . Reporter yeah, hi, gerri. They want set schedules, they also want a guarantee of at least 11 hours between work shifts is and an indirect say when their Company Hires additional workers. Now, this ordinance is being given to us and being pushed by the same people that pushed the 15 minimum wage law here in seattle, and its aimed at the same companies; restaurants and retail. It would require workers to get their schedules at least a week in advance and extra pay if late changes are made to that schedule. It would also give them some pay if a shift is taken away, and it would force employers to offer existing employees more hours before hiring more workers. I think that there is the sense amongst some workers that they are being abused, and i think that that comes really from a sense of not being treated fairly. Reporter supporters say this would be especially good for Single Parents and those who take care of elderly people in their family out of their home. Gerri . Gerri well, dan, whats the response from local businesses . Reporter well, as you can imagine, local businesses and people who take business interests at heart hate this idea. Economists also say that it will drive up the cost of doing business in seattle, that it will also lead to higher prices here because companies will have to adjust by higher prices, and it will also drive some jobs out of the city. Now, supporters say that, you know, this is all the same stuff theyve heard over the 15 minimum wage. Starbucks, which began here in seattle, is a target of the ordinance. Workers will occasionally be asked to close down at night, then reopening the next morning. Those would be eliminated. But how do Business Owners adjust to people calling in sick . Late changes will be costly. Economists say look for more automation so companies can get by with fewer employees. But even then there will be a struggle. Its unfortunate that the city of seattle seems hell bent on these onesizefitsall, cookie cutter approaches to wage and hour issues x i think this is going to be one more straw that breaks the camels back. Reporter despite these dire warnings from some economists and others, the city council seems poised to be Going Forward with this, and many expect to have this ordinance, this livable schedule ordinance n place by the end of the year. Gerri dan, thanks for that reporting. Amazing story. So can Companies Really afford to make these concessions; that is, to lower wage workers. Joining me now, mat welch. This is just amazing to me. Not only do you have to pay 15 an hour, you cant even set your own schedule. Whats your reaction . What i like is they want to have more hours themselves before they can hire new people. Its being explicit there. I got mine, but you who dot no have do not have a job to hell with you. This is what minimum wages do. When they were first introduced a century ago by progressives as a by to keep out way to keep out undesirable labor. It was women, immigrants, black men, this was part of i eugenics a hundred years ago, but somehow this will create more jobs or somehow wont hurt jobs as it exists . Gerri so, you know, from an economic point of view, you look at this as what you say, okay, so, you know, so tightly controlling employers will result in, you know, were going to mechanize these jobs. You dont need a human being to ring up your starbucks coffee, and maybe thats what we go to, robots doing it. I mean, go the Newark Airport right now. You cant find someone to order a drink from anymore, its all these machines everywhere. [laughter] and this is part of it. If you mandate everything as 15 an hour, which Governor Cuomo is trying to do here in new york state, of course people are going to look for the robot to make it happen. And in the meantime, youre going to make governments more expensive. Bernie sanders wants to make the federal minimum wage 15. He wants columbus, ohio, which is a boomtown that has really good employment and elope prices, to have the same rate as seattle and l. A gerri well, thats dumb too. California just rejected a 15 statewide minimum wage, jerry brown did, because it would add 4 billion a year in the cost of government. So in addition to depressing actual employment which is kind of an important thing here in america where we have a low employment rate compared to the last 30 years, its going to make government more expensive. Youre going to have to jack up taxes. Gerri i like youre ive got mine, you cant have yours scenario. Good to see you. Thank you. Gerri coming up, a Public University is banning a conservative speaker who was invited by a Student Group to speak because his views on diversity have angered liberal act visitses. It is the latest on Political Correctness gone wild. Stay tuned. And a very good afternoon from the floor of the new york stock exchange, im lori rothman with your fox business brief. Stocks right now, excuse me, at session highs. The dow is up almost 140 points. Credit a turn around in oil today. Oil settled up for a second day, its highest since january 29th. Im really losing my voice, i apologize, guys. 33. 07. Once oil turned around, we saw stocks take off. And leading the dow you have utx and nike, united technologies, honeywell confirmed the deal in talks to buy utx. Energy shares, though, as oil turns around kind of left some of the Energy Stocks behind. Exxon down three cents, chevron off 35. Well have much more fox business right after this. Gerri California State University at los angeles, a publiclyfunded university, taxpayer dollars, has banned a conservative speaker from addressing a Student Group after liberal activists on campus launched protests. But the conservative speaker, he plans to show up anyway and speak out. Adam shapiro has the details. Reporter gerri, that speaker is none other than the author ben shapiro, no relation to me, but hes well known, several books. A conservative s and he was invited by young americas foundation, and the University Student body actually approved twice. They have an organization, but approved twice Going Forward with this speech. But after liberals protested, the University President canceled it. So shapiros going to show up in roughly two hours, cameras rolling, and he intends to deliver the speech anyway. What hes going to talk about is a speech entitled when diversity becomes a problem. And he touches upon the issue of race, something that he and i discussed, and he says its kind of like the third rail of public discourse. Heres what he said. When eric holder said were a nation of cowards on race, hes exactly right. The problem is the cowardice comes from the left, and its acquiesced by the right with all of the mythmaking about how americas a deeply racist, horrible country 50 years after the end of jim crow. Ben shapiro is on a tencity speak being tour in which hes talking about a phenomenon we have all paid attention to, this antifree speech, anticapitalist movement on college and University Campuses nationwide, the microaggressions expect trigger warnings. Hes drawn a lot of attention for bringing this out and calling out the people who claim to need a, quote, safe space. Heres what ben shapiro said about that. You were born in 1984, as i was, the idea that youve been experiencing massive similarmatic race in society is hogwash. Lets hear about it, lets hear the specific name, and lets try and do something about it. But if not for that, honestly, youre just blaming all of your problems on the wind. Youre blaming it on the ether, and thats a waste of time. So ben shapiro was supposed to deliver that speech, pre arranged months ago, approved by the student body council, but it was canceled by the president who will not talk at California State Universitylos angeles. If they stop ben shapiro from speaking, hes going to be there with the yaf supporters. If they interfere in any way, shapiro is threatening to sue, and there is Previous Supreme Court rulings on this kind of thing in which mr. Shapiro looks like he might win that lawsuit. So were watching to see what happens. Gerri . Gerri adam shapiro, great reporting. Thank you so much for that. Yep. Gerri California State University at los angeles, their actions, well, its just the latest example of Political Correctness gone crazy across our Nations College campuses. Joining me right now the ceo and president of f. I. R. E. , a Nonprofit Educational Foundation that tracks incidents just like these. He joins me now. So we were talking in the break beforehand. Angela davis is going to be on this campus. Shes they dont have to put some kind of conservative against her. Shes a communist. Shes hung out with the black panthers, and its okay for her to talk, but not a conservative. How is that . The funniest thing about this is that the University President is trying to portray this as hes actually protecting free speech because hes just saying ben shapiro cant speak here until he has someone else to disagree with him on the panel. But they dont do that for anyone else. Gerri its a double standardings right . Absolutely. Were at disinvitation season. This is the time of year where University Faculty and students get together and demand you cant speak on our campus, and every year it seems to get more intense gerri give us names of people who have been banned because they didnt think the right thing. Sure. People really started to Pay Attention when it was bill maher, people trying to get him not to speak on campus, but it was also donald please saw rice at rutgers a few years back. People really noticed when it was Christine Lagarde from gerri right, imf. From the imf. And when they were protesting against her, they were like, really . Who is allowed to speak . Gerri my kneejerk reaction is this has to be unconstitutional, right . Well, yeah, at a public college. At a private college theyre not bound by the constitution, but youve got to call out the ridiculousness of the university gerri where does this come from . You say this is going all over the country and its on University Campuses. Are these kids just so scared of hearing a different point of view, so fragile that they possibly couldnt hear anything else . I honestly think its the fault of administrators. Theyve been teaching students that they have a right not just to not be offended, but now its moved to the right where you have the right to be agreed with if we like your politics. And theyre doing students the disservice of saying, by the way, you might be damaged if you hear opinions you disagree with. Gerri but campuses were always the place where you could have a free and open debate. Isnt that how you learn other points of view, how you expand your Knowledge Base . What scares me to death is it seems like weve moved from students who are demanding freedom of speech to ones who are demanding freedom from speech. Gerri thats such a great way to put it. What is going to happen, ultimately, in this case . Is this young conservative going to win out in the courtsesome. Im excited to see what happens tonight at the speech. I think the University President should back down. Gerri will he . I dont know. [laughter] thats part of the fun. Gerri well be watching it. Greg, so good to meet you, and your organization is called f. I. R. E. , right . Foundation for individual rights in education. Gerri thank you so much. Thank you.

Its interesting today, i think, pause you saw what happened in china, and yet they had trouble, but we still rallied. Whats going on here . Usually happens the op opposite way. The opposite way. Well, as oil goes, so goes the stock market. Gerri yeah. Whats really difficult for the average investor right now is to go, wait a second, the deal is if i pay more at the pump, my 401 k is going to go up in value . Why is that good for me . [laughter] i like saving money at the pump. I dont quite understand it. So this is really sometimes a big disconnect right now between wall street and main street. Wall street worries about the 500 billion thats been lent to the energy industry. I understand they should be concerned. If i was a bank and i hadnt been reserving from the losses in the energy industry, i might be concerned too. Finish on the other hand, take a look back two years roughly. Weve saved almost 2 a gallon when we go to fill up. That translates. Every penny that we save on a gallon of gas over the course of a year translate into a billion dollars in the economy. Gerri right. Let me interrupt you here, nathan, because as weve seen, americans havent generally spent that money right away. Theyre not necessarily spending. Theyve been saving instead, so theres questions about the health of the consumer. But i want to ask you, you brought up oil, and i think thats absolutely the right thing to talk about here today. Have we seen the bottom for oil . Because, let me tell you, you mentioned the banks have had trouble with loans to the industry, the oil industry. They would love to see this turn around. Well, im sure they would love to see this turn around. This is going to be sort of the push me pull me here. I dont know if weve seen the bottom. I will tell you one thing, the world can talk about how theyre going to have a meeting in a couple months and decide to freeze production. I wish them a lot of luck on that. Opec, youre dead on your feet, you just dont know it yet. Every time someone tries to raise the price of oil around the world, over in west texas you know what theyre going to say . Weve gone from 1600 wells to 413 wells. We could open up a few at any point in time gerri true. Well start pumping more. I think the issue really is not whether oil will go down substantially in price, but the fact is well be able to moderate it. So i dont think were ever going to, in the short term, were not going to see 60, 7 a barrel oil. 70 a barrel oil. It cant happen. Gerri all right. I want to talk about Interest Rates. James bullard, the Federal Reserve president in st. Louis, saying dont raise rates. Were not going to raise rates. Theres no Interest Rate raising going along here. So when you look back though and you look at what people have been told about their money, theyve been told for i dont know how long, five years, maybe, Interest Rate hikes are around the corner. It never happens. What do you see in your crystal ball . Oh, i wish i had a crystal ball. Gerri, rates arent going anywhere anytime soon, and by the way, if in december you had asked the question, well, whats going to happen to Interest Rates now that the Federal Reserve has started to raise them, nobody would have said, oh, the 10year treasurys going down to 1. 71 from 2. 25. Gerri right. From an investment standpoint, bonds are going to provide stability. Lets not look at them as a way to make money by seeing the appreciation in the bond plus whatever the bonds paying, they provide some stability. Interest rates are going to stay low, i believe, until you start to see to real wages rising which they havent risen gerri right. This is the reason why when you save money at the pump, you put it in your checking or savings account. Youre not buying a car, because you dont want additional debt. Gerri nathan, thanks for that.
