This is a big week for the economy. We are also talking about mideast which is a huge topic in d. C. Today. We have Nicole Petallides on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to start us oof. Nicole we are seeing a market that is under a little bit of pressure. We have had five straight weeks of gains on the dow. You did mention some of the names that are weighing on the dow. Two huge groups that really weigh on the market today. Financials and energy. Also, chevron and exxon are weighing on the dow. You are seeing energy as a laborer as well. Johnson johnson actually hitting a new high today. A new 52 week high. Wells fargo said you should buy the shares at the current level. With this, the stock is up about one third of 1 . Back to you. Connell more to come from new coal. President obama said his treasury secretary onto a sunday talk show. Clearly trying to shift the focus. He had a little trouble in doing that. Watch this. This is supposedly behind us. It has been more than two months since he directed you to lead the investigation. First of all, chris, what we found out is we went through to find the cracks. Equal numbers . There are an equal number of groups. The bad judgment was equal opportunity. It was over 100 compared to one dozen. Who was responsible for it . There was a number of supervisors who exercise bad judgment who were relieved of their responsibilities. I think what happened there is unjustifiable. It is not acceptable to have the kind of screening for left or right where you are too targeted for your views. Connell too much for moving on. A good chance to kind of put this together both politically and economically. I said at the top, it is a huge week for the economy. First the politics and the Obama Administrations strategy. [ laughter ] after that exchange with chris wallace, wallace try to press him on whether the political appointees at the irs is even a question in this investigation. He could not even get a straight answer. Jack lew was there not there yesterday to talk about jobs being created, everything going fine. All of these scandals are phony. If they are phony, so is the economic recovery. Connell in what way . In the fourth year of an economic recovery. 7. 6 unemployment. Labor participate is at a 30 year low. What is the president doing . He is out traveling across the country. Talking to adoring audiences about raising the minimum wage. I do not think he gets it. I do not think that the public thinks he gets it. His Approval Rating is 30 . I do not think he has much credibility on this issue. Connell lets go to anthony on this. The argument is a political one. This is a big week for the economy. Who is right here . Are things Getting Better . Is jason wright or are the polls right that people just do not feel like we are in the place where we should. There is a lot of truth to go around. The economy is in fact Getting Better. The economic recovery is to week still. We have created jobs. We have created 6. 6 million jobs. We have lowered the on employment rate. Is it still too high . Absolutely. Well the economy grow rapidly this year . Absolutely not. We are still looking at a neighborhood of less than 2 . Are we making progress . Absolutely. Is the progress something we should tap ourselves on the back . Absolutely not. One of the reasons that the Unemployment Rate is as low as it is is because fewer people are looking for jobs. Just to give you an idea on where this president is in terms of jobs, he was asked over the weekend about the keystone pipeline. He said that will only be about 2000 jobs and we can do better than that. Who is this president to sneer at this amount of jobs . Connell is there more in your opinion that the government could do to create jobs . I think that the government should do everything that they can to stand out of the way of businesses to create jobs. One of the things that was not mentioned was the Labor Force Participation rate has gone up for two consecutive months. Another thing is that the 6. 6 million that were created are real jobs. Second and final is that as confidence picks up, both in the labor market in the overall economy, we should see the Labor Force Participation rate picking up. At that point, we may not see it coming down as quickly. At least that will Show Confidence on the part of workers. Connell a very big number on friday. Thank you to both of you. One other note on the economy, as anthony went to a bond of these, some signs that we are headed in the right direction. Here is an interesting stat that is out as well. Four out of five u. S. Adults will struggle with joblessness, near poverty or relied on government aid at some point in their lives. Four out of five. The reason for this is the gap between the rich and the poor. Okay. A huge day in the media world. It may be a huge day for you personally. If you like to watch shows on cbs, in a matter of hours, Time Warner Cable customers could lose cbs because of its dispute they are having over fees. We bring in dennis kneale. Dennis it is down to the wire. 5 00 oclock eastern today is when cbs will go dark. The three biggest markets, new york, l. A. And dallas, it could also include showtime. This is basically a battle for power and money, as always, i guess. I tried and got into this indecipherable voicemail hell. I think that was part of the problem. The thing is both sides lose here. Viewers ultimately may think forget about it. Cbs may have more to lose. Time warner cable will still have hundreds of other channels. Time warner will start telling its subscribers, pay, you have this Aerial Surveys that will send it to your cell phone for 10 a month. You can always apply for that. At this point, we have calls out to both sides. I cannot figure out who will win. I cannot figure out whether cbs will really go dark. They have done it before. Cbs just wants a little respect. We will have to watch this. Connell all day long. This is a story that he says could develop throughout the day. Thank you, dennis. We have the mideast peace talks that are happening in d. C. Egypt flaring up again. Supporters of the now ex president have been shot and killed. The cost of your favorite fast food meal is really skyrocketing. You can blame ethanol for that. That story is straight ahead. We talk about this pain in the work ways. Some of us work through it and others dont show up. Hundreds of billions of dollars potentially lost and productivity is a pain in the workplace. Some of the fixes coming up. Before we get to that, more numbers. Oil is up. A quarter million tweeters musicare tweeting. Eamed. And 90Million Dollars are changing hds online. Thats why the internet needs a new kind of server. One thats 80 smaller. Uses 89 less energy. And costs 77 less. Its called hp moonshot. And its giving the internet the room it needs to grow. This. Is going to be big. Its time to build a better enterprise. Gether. [ indistinct shouting ] [ male announcer ] time and sales data. Splitsecondtats. [ indistinct shouting ] its so close to the options floor. [ indistinct shouting, bell dinging ]. Youll bust your brain box. All onhinkorswim from td ameritrade. Connell we come back here with a story thanks to charles pain you will not see many other places. Here is another one you may not think of. Charles is here, as always, to make you a little bit of money. Charles cabela. The maker of guns and rifles and a whole lot of other things. Apparently, when you get receipts at certain stores, it will say a certain portion of your purchase when to medical excise tax. You say to yourself why would that be . I love that one of the links and they do talk about these taxes. There is a receipt right there that someone sent me over the weekend. Here is the thing, i have done some research on it. Of course, there are places saying that it is absolutely true. I think we have to find a way to bring someone on. If this is true, it is worrisome. Without a doubt, it is complicated. When the president took the oath of office, it was a five dollar stock. It is up 1000 since then. Connell as always, charles, thank you. Charles i want to follow up on this connell it is gigantic. Charles it is gigantic. Connell charles payne, thank you. A speech that will take place tomorrow. Promising 7000 more jobs. Take a look at that. Nicole we are looking at it. We are seeing a pulling back a little bit today. Down 1 at the moment. 5000 in the fulfillment centers. This is in 13 states, as you mentioned. President obama will be heading over to chattanooga, tennessee. He will be talking about new job policies. Amazon is now talking about 30 more. Dont they sound wonderful. They have had increased customer demand. Back to you. Connell the cost of your fast food favorites really on the rise. We are talking about the reason for that coming up. Do talk sport middle east peace in d. C. We will get into that. We will talk about whether anything significant can really be accomplished. We will stay on top of the numbers. More market now in just a moment. 23 minutes past the hour. In spain, the driver of that derailed train has been charged with negligent homicide. He admitted to a judge that he acted recklessly. Both francis says gays should not be judged or marginalized and should be integrated inno society. He did we affirm that homosexual acts are a sin. In france, more than 136 million in diamonds and other tools were stolen from a hotel. Police say a masked gunman demanded the jewels and got away without firing a shot. Those are your headlines. I am lauren green. Back to connell. Connell thank you. Anyone who is a fast food junkie may be noticing higher prices. Believe it or not, or based ethanol is to blame for this. What is the dispute all about, william . It is not just fast food, connell. Around 2005 will we started using corn, not for food, but for fuel, that changed. Federal mandates are dramatically increasing food prices. That is squeezing the fast food industry. It wants lawmakers to eliminate the policy that mandates more ethanol you blended into our gasoline each year. It is supposed to make us more energy dependent. They say it is hurting our pocketbooks. The prices are up across the board. Corn is in everything. Corn feeds cattle, chickens, pigs. Everyone gets that price passed on. Other studies say that for a family of four that this policy adds about two grand to your food budget. Connell kind of interesting in a number of different ways. When we look at the core production numbers and the industry. What does the ethanol industry have to say for itself in hearing about this . It is falsely accused. They blame oil. Look at the statistics. Over the last decade, seven times more corn, 40 of what we grow goes into your gas tank. The ethanol industry says they dispute this. They say that ethanol holds down the price of gasoline. We absolutely believe that the chain restaurants are trying to pull a supersized whopper here. There is no way that ethanol is driving food prices. Other studies Say Something else. In all likelihood, the ethanol mandate will not disappear. The corn lobby will not let that happen. Connell good reporting. Two major stories today on the foreignpolicy front that we will be talking about. Important to the security of the United States and the global economy. Israelis and palestinians meeting in washington today. For egypt, we have the protest growing more violent over there. We will get into egypt. Then, pain in the workplace. Hundreds of billions of dollars lost each year. There is Something Back can be done about it. I will tell you what that something is as we continue on market now. [ male announcer ] the mercedesbenz summer event is here. Now get the mercedesbenz youve always dreamed of. But hurry. Because a good thing like this wont last forever. Here you go, honey. Thank you. [ male announcer ] see your authorized dealer for an incredible offer on the exhilarating c250 sport sedan. [ villain ] well mr. Baldwin. It appears our journey has come to a delightful end.

But hurry before this opportunity. Disappears. The mercedesbenz summer event ends july 31st. Connell at the half hour, this is what we have coming up on markets now, talking about the importance of the Peace Process in the middle east to everything, the global economy, what have you, as the talks go on in washington today, then we have the new report out showing a hundred Million Dollars of natural gas is lost each month, a hundred Million Dollars, right at the source of the drilling. Well go to phil flynn on that. The price of pain in this country is just enormous. Latest figure out, over 600 billion a year lost at the workplace because people are in pain. All of that is still coming up, but, first, apple fights off fresh claims of worker abuse in the chinese fact tries like chinese workers, insufficient pay, we heard about this in the last few months or years with apple. See how the stock is doing today, nicole . The stock certainly doesnt correlate to the story that nobody wants to hear about labor laws breached in any way, shape, or form, but thats what the claims are here. The stock itself is doing well today for apple, up 1. 33 , so apple shareholders can enjoy the price of 446. 77. Theres reports there are abuses, and they shifted away from the long time supplier and moved over to taiwans company, but its about safety, environment violations. Also, not only withholding pay, but also withholding the id cards that the workers have that they use at other facilities and the like, and holding on to those. Apple says they are committed to provided safe and fair environments, done surprise checks, multiple checks over the years including the last 18 months, so they are working to control this. Back to you. Connell nicoles, thanks, at the exchange, at least 74 people meantime killed, hundreds injured in protests over the weekend in egypt. All this as israelis and palestinians resume peace talks today in washington, d. C. Theres a lot to talk about. Senior fellow, National Security affairs at heritage, twenty year veterans, also Jessi James Duff joining us today. Nice to have you. Sergeant duff, i want to start with you, talk about middle east peace and whether kerry is getting something done. First on egypt. Is there something that the u. S. Could do that its not doing in terms of whats happening in egypt right now, or is it basically a lost cause from our point of view . Well, i dont think that the u. S. Is trying to do anything right now, which is very upsetting because they essentially made the bed, and now we must sleep in it. We are silting back and watching. The general has made it clear that hes not going to tolerate the Muslim Brotherhood protesting in the streets. Over 83 of them were killed this weekend, and about a hundred burials already happened. The protests are incendiary to the region, and this is critical to the United States. Weve been great allies with their military since 1979 so for us to not be participating, we have leveraging with the army, and we must get a Prime Minister in place because this is going to blow up with alqaeda influence, with the rights in the region, and hamas influencing whats going on. Connell the reference to the 1970s, peter, is interesting because that, the peace between israel and the e gipses held up, and here we are talking about whether the israelis and palestinians can have a long lasting peace. Kerry tried. Hes been there a number of times, and whether that, you know, anything comes to fruition remains to be seen, but is it possible or are the people who scoff at this and say, no, theres never going to be peace. Are they right . Whats the peace talks in dwk . Keep expectations modest for the time being. Its a set of frame works for talk, hoping to get them done over nine months. People tried before this. Theres real challenges in this issue, you know, borders, territory, prisoners, refugees, security. Theres so many things people deal with. This is a very difficult road to hoe for both sides. Connell whats the realistic goal, then, from your point of view if expectations are so low going in. Whats a partial victory to come from the talks is realistic . Well, a frame work for additional talks. The fact they are talking is good. They have not talkedded for three years now so the fact they are coming to washington, you know, kerrys doing something, been to the region six times in six months, but, again, these are very, very difficult issues, but, yeah, i think additional talks beyond the next two days would be positive. Connell is that fair, jessi . If these talks produce more talks, you can say were on the right track, or do we, in your view, need to see more than that . Well, its difficult to predict what happens just as indicated already, but what we have to recognize is that 104 prisoners sentenced to life are released, people that blew up School Busses with children in them, dads, innocent civilians, brutal people. The israelis are not happy with this. They see them as terrorists who tried to destroy their country being released; however, the palestinians see them as Freedom Fighters looking to help the Palestinian People seek freedom. Its a very, very difficult situation; however, we have got to have stability with
