his bid for the nomination. oregon has 74 delegates, can turkey has 60. joining us now, tony sacco on with "washtington examiner" reporter, sarah west with good thank you for joining us. tony, let's navigate through these primaries today but should be a takeaways. >> kentucky is where hillary clinton has invested tremendous resources after the end a loss which was more narrow than they expect it. there was an idea that could have one had hillary participated are heavily. kentucky is a state with blue-collar working voters that hillary clinton can win. she's gotten up on the air. radio ads, tv ads have been making love and campaign stops in the last two weeks in the state of kentucky. she's not really done that in any other state and she needs desperately to change this kind of place shifting momentum toward sanders is beside indiana and other places that seem a likely when oregon today. maria: tighter than hillary clinton wants to see, that's for sure. >> backley. even a kentucky and oregon are not an adequate income is still weak and so she loses both his today, which he likely could do. she needs to change the optics of the race and that's why you see are pouring resources into kentucky because she doesn't want this narrative that bernie sanders is the rightful heir of the people in superdelegates and the way the system is structured is protect in her. that's why she really needs to win in kentucky today. >> do you think she can come away with the wind. end quote country they can't relate to her because she's part of the movement to crush jobs especially in the mining sector. >> way. go ahead. maria: tony, go ahead yet >> i would suggest unlike west virginia, the whole economy isn't as dominant in kentucky. certainly occupies the state. it is said that were diversified in the interest you have suburban voters. you have urban centers they just didn't have diverse populations as well. hillary clinton understand she could know one person in the math is enough. she has to change the actual narrative coming out of the primary season which is bernie sanders winning the argument. even when she wants to point to bill clinton as a guy who create jobs, he deregulated wall street. he would form entitlements. all thing she is saying she won't do because he's trying to keep up with sanders says progressives on the plaque. dagen: here's one acronym. nafta. i only think about that when she is in the south talking about how great her husband was on job, kind of skipping over the last seven and a half years of barack obama going back to the 90s technology boom. i keep thinking a lot of those people lost their jobs or at least they think they lost their jobs because of the trade agreement her house and back. maria: do find it interesting that now we hear her basically top of bill clinton and jobs now at this point in the campaign. meanwhile the entire time she's been pushed all the way to the left talking a different agenda? maria: black candidate does she want to be? bernie sanders is partially to blame for this. she took the bait. she has moved left with him and now she's talking about her husband. i know people feel fondly about bill clinton in the south. i kind of get out. the more she talks about them, now people are asking what is this guy's role going to be. what are they going to be doing at 1600 pennsylvania? again, are we voting for her or are we voting for bill clinton? that's the democrats have to ask. maria: a picnic in her agenda recently. during the past two months am presumptive nominee. the front-runner going after trump's plan to create jobs and grow the economy. watch this. >> i want to grow the economy. and it's not enough in my humble opinion and i don't think voters at the end of the day are going to ask that. if we were debate, for example, let's just imagine i wanted debate stage with donald trump. personally, i am really looking forward to it. [cheers and applause] here's the question. so what is your plan to create jobs? his answer is i'm going to create them. they are going to be great. i know how to do it, but i'm not telling you what it is i'm going to do. maria: interesting. tony, what are your thoughts on that? she says she's looking forward to being up against trump if he has created jobs. this is the first time hearing specifics in terms of her own plan. she just said she'll put bill clinton in charge of it. >> careful what you ask for. donald trump shows are ready on the 16 other very capable candidates during the republican primaries which is to speak much more honestly. if donald trump has been specific about one thing, cutting the cap or tax rate, it's been wildly popular among some of the best economist. they all have good things to say. this is the wrong type for her to pick with them. maria: it got to get to this making kelley soundbite. goodnight, tonight on the fox broadcast. megyn kelly sitting down with donald trump in an exclusive one-on-one interview. here's a preview. >> most kids between the ages of six and 16 have been bullied at some point in advice. we've ever bullied? >> no, i was empty but it seemed rolling. it doesn't have to be just as a child. i know people who are wholly at 55 years old. it happens, but you've got to get over it. i'd die. do whatever you have to do. i've been saying during this whole campaign that i am the counterpuncher. i then respond times 10. i don't know. i was on pretty strongly. in just about all cases i have been wanting to what they did to me. maria: people are asking are we going to see a different side of trump? t. think we will see a different side tonight? >> it is entirely possible. he is putting hillary clinton this awkward position of running two races again and. it's in their best interest to settle things with making kelley was extremely popular figure in the conservative movement and it doesn't make any sense for them to be railing against her now that primaries are over and now pitting tours the general election and will have peace in the media. maria: looking forward to the program tonight. >> it's very easy to go after somebody when you are online, when it social media. but when you sit across from somebody, it's not soasy. maria: a little sweeter, calm her. tony, great to see you. sera commentator max that much. it airs tonight on the bright test of our preacher that's tonight at 8:00 p.m. we will see you both soon. breaking his moments ago, home depot b. expectations. the retailer cost analyst expectations are reported revenue of $22.8 billion. earnings of $1.40 for the shared in the hardware giant is in its full-year guidance.com fire in the free market. the dow component while firing up stocks on the upside. coming up, outrage in the windy city. forcing hundreds of passengers to miss their flights and why many are blaming the tsa. big changes coming to twitter. why those annoying account may be a thing of the past. stay with us. busy morning. how about the rally yesterday. back in a minute. ♪ tokyo-style ramen noodles. when you cook with incredible ingredients... you make incredible meals. fresh ingredients, step-by-step recipies, delivered to your door for less than nine dollars a meal. get your first two meals free at blueapron.com/cook . maria: welcome back. the cause of the deadly amtrak train -- last year expected to be announced today. cheryl casone with the details. >> good morning, maria. radio dispatches killed eight people and injured more than 200 when it derailed outside philadelphia in may 2015. the national transportation safety board will hold a hearing today in washington d.c. to consider his final report. the probable cause of the crash could change before the meeting ends that engineer randy bossi and told engineers he remembered hearing radio traffic that night from a commuter train operator. could things get any worse of the nation's airports?

this is a small bit of the jury. they promise to in recent characters as previously and then retracted it. this situation is not a big thing to change or move the stock. for those users will be pleased. going from an extra 10 characters is a big deal. people are screenshot and found that text and pasting them as images because they want to post more information. maria: that's a little trick. how about apple? yesterday we reported warren buffett was taking a big stop. >> is one of his devalued traits he likes to do. maria: turns out it wasn't his decision. it was the two hedge fund managers he hired who is seen as successor is todd collins and with the other guys name? i have to look it up. weissler. maria: he is such an abysmal trade that they could probably save them on tech and that's it. when you're powerful trading eight times earnings for the fact would accept the cash come in recent dividend, will trade as a better unit than a 10 year treasury. would you rather bet on this government for apple? >> buffet of course has blown shonda technology companies. but it does have the wide economic mode that he really loves in terms of cash and business. maria: i was surprised by the ibm move. that is a slow grower. >> it's not even a grower. the revenues are down 16 quarters. dagen: it has the club business. i can pick up steam and grow faster than business is declining. this opportunity there. maria: we will watch that. hitting the area but the record of minus no-caps will tell you about it. a major headache it cost for one of our founding fathers max. at last are to the week for oil prices. what is pushing oil that can affect a month highs. that is next. back in a moment. ♪ these guys represent blood cells. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa helps stop blood cells from pooling in the heart... forming a clot... which can travel to the brain and cause a stroke. pradaxa was better than warfarin at reducing stroke risk in a study. in the rare event of an emergency, pradaxa has a specific reversal treatment to help you clot normally again. pradaxa is not for people who have had a heart valve replacement. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before any planned medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, and sometimes, fatal bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding. and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have kidney problems, stomach ulcers, a bleeding condition, or take certain medicines. side effects with pradaxa can include indigestion, stomach pain, upset or burning. ask your doctor about pradaxa. and its specific reversal treatment. when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today, we'll all be better prepared tomorrow. prudential. bring your challenges. maria: welcome back. have you checked the only reason they? crude oil topping 48 barrels lately. concerns about supply disruptions behind in the good oil a day than 80% of the multiyear low which was touched back in february. "the wall street journal" chief economic correspondent right now john hilson rap. good to see you, sir. what do you think is behind the move in oil and doesn't continue question or >> as you mentioned about supply disruptions caused in the temporary move we've had these fires in canada. which are slowing production. we also have an in nigeria. when you look at the global economy and the kind of pace we get out of growth, we've got oil in a range now getting towards the top of it. maria: maybe. kevin cundiff got to be impressed by this move. for the whole year we've been taught about the next dots. >> we are getting consumer price is today. inflation ethics acted to pick out enough that the federal reserve must move next month. >> we have to watch that did the fed will have a hard time living in june. there's a lot of speakers coming out in the next few days and the message we are hearing from them if they want to remind the market that a rate increase is still on the table this summer. if not june, still july and september. they have penciled in to this year. the markets are really pricey net. they suggest a 20% probability of a move by september. officials want to remind people that this could be trumped. don't be surprised by it. maria: cpi up two tents of a percent. if you expect they should turn the fed will raise rates. >> i don't think right now could look at the future market, nobody is pricing in a rate hike in june and i don't think the fed to become politicized about coming to inches. he seemed to have governors raising two times this year, which is keeping the market at bay. the important thing when it comes to oil is this helps companies over the next quarter because they can barrels into the future three, four months at $55 a barrel. they cut down costs. that is why they are still in $50 a barrel. we may not be it in the near future. >> that's when talking about these markets and ranges but docs as well. it is hard to seize docs taking off from especially november election was so much insurgency around it. we earn ranges for a while. they are going to move very tentatively. it still can be a bit of a surprise for investors because they are not expecting anything this summer. not just the inflation numbers today, but another round of jobs numbers before this june fed meeting. that could get them moving towards doing something in july or september. maria: we talked about retail sales last week for the number came out on friday. strong online but to move up in oil prices. does that change of the sum of the strength? we obviously didn't see the department is, but does that change the strength we've seen in by an intentional? >> and outcome of the ironic thing here is when oil prices fell, people were saying my consumer spending all this when fathers thought. maybe they are not as sensitive, but that retail sales report was good news and i think what he showed us his various consumer spending going on. it is not showing up at the traditional retail outlets. it is showing up online, restaurants. it is showing up basically not in malls. do not we obviously have economic data in the u.s. to back up another fed rate hike and what is it a different especially if their forecasts of the good one of the issues is international at. can we actually raise rates when the fed to soap over some international global market in the currency overhangs. >> that is certainly an issue giving him pause and more present in their mind than it was a year, two, three years ago. the other central banks are kind of on hold. you have to watch what is going on in china. started to weaken again, the capital outflows there is a big issue for the. we see getting towards these inflection point for a lot of movement in chinese markets and that is something i'll be watching very carefully. maria: today's story is presented guidance. john, good to see you as always. we just wanted to say it's another case where you can't order a lot of home good timeline so that's another retailer when consumers and it is taking up a little. jon hilsenrath come to see you soon. a $2 hot dog and $5 here. while concession prices are about to get cheaper at one nfl season. starbucks environmentally friendly. we will tell you by the coffee giant is issuing its first-ever sustainability bomb. back in a minute. but you don't sweat it because you and your advisor have prepared for this. and when the best offer means you're moving to the middle of nowhere, the boys say they hate the idea. but you pretend it's not so bad. and years later at thanksgiving, when one of them says what he's thankful for most, is this house, you realize you didn't plan for any of this you wouldn't have done it any other way. with the right financial partner, progress is possible. .. i don'or wonder whether i theshould seek treatment.c. i am ready. because today there's harvoni. a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. harvoni is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who've had no prior treatment. it transformed treatment as the first cure that's one pill, once a day for 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. tell your doctor if you've had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready? ask your hep c specialist if harvoni is right for you. maria: welcome back. i am maria bartiroma, it is may 17, 6:30, primaries today in kentucky and oregon, hillary clinton will snap bernie sanders, but sanders bowing to fight on. >> they are not going to stop now, i have been called nearly everything but i have never been called a quitter. >> if we don't get the excitement or injury i think we can. maria: we are weeks away from the start of summer time but some on the east coast waking up to snow. starbucks taking a push for sustainability to a whole new level. they raise money for specific projects supporting farmers. putting fans first, price gouging on food and drink. home depot reporting better-than-expected earnings and revenue, the company beat earnings, and raising guidance, started dow component that will drive it this morning but expecting a big rally on home depot shares. futures set the tone for a small market. extending a triple digit move with 15 point move on the upside on the tao. we get economic number, the cpi price index and housing starts coming up. markets mostly gain this morning in asia overnight. the hang seng up 1.4%. we are looking at gains, bank stocks leading the way, up two thirds of a%. the german market for the holiday. all eyes on oregon and kentucky, residents and two states cast primary ballots. in louisville, kentucky, >> 11 hours, we will see senator sanders can chip away at hillary clinton's momentum and hillary clinton can pull out a win in a state where the clintons have traditionally done very well. still hunting secretary clinton are those comments from march in which he promised to put coal miners out of work. they don't think it will have the same impact it did in west virginia. a comment only heard clinton in call country. louisville and lexington are clinton friendly, she spent the last we 4 days trying to turn attention away from bernie sanders. she mocked him yesterday. >> i know how to do it but i am not telling you what it is i am going to do. here is what i am going to do. americans take their vote for president seriously. they will look at the tv screen, still don't have anything to tell me? >> reporter: 55 pledged delegates, five superdelegates so even if sanders wins kentucky it doesn't put much of a dent in clinton's sizable lead. for secretary clinton it is all about stopping sanders's momentum, reestablishing her own momentum as present of nominee. sanders has been taking kentucky seriously, doing best among young people predictably, does well at college campuses, and promising things like free tuition. maria: donald trump may be the presumptive nominee, my next guest says the policies and platforms central to his campaign is inconsistencies, tax reform, entitlement and how does he handle the debt. someone who knows a thing or two about all of the above is the president of the committee for a responsible federal budget. thank you for joining us. let's talk about the tax plan, and 50% of people, 20%, 25%, this is individual, to the corporate taxes, taxes are coming down, how do you pay for it? >> cutting taxes doesn't work in terms of fiscal responsibility unless you increase other taxes and talk about that, we haven't heard any plans that would offset the cost down. you can actually keep taxes growing in revenue, revenue neutral if you bring rates down which can be good for the economy and draw the base, right now we lose $1 trillion a year targeting tax breaks from credits and exclusions and exemptions. if we get rid of a lot of those which will simplify the tax code, and a lot of revenue to play with could bring interest rates down. we have not heard specifically on that. and broadening the tax base in coming days, that will make a big difference, the details and filling in the harder parts of the tax plan and we will see. so far what this plan would do is add $10 trillion to the debt at a time when record debt levels, would be very ill advised. maria: steve moore came on the show yesterday and said trump is trying to expand the base so much that it moved the needle on economic growth looking at 4% economic growth or even higher as the years go out. when you expand economic growth, we are at 2% as you know, does that actually, do you connect the dots that you get more revenue? >> growing the economy is one of the best ways to generate revenue. it is ideal for many reasons but there is one problem. it is difficult to control. most of the growth, because of these demographic challenges we face where baby boomers are moving into retirement will come from increasing productivity. that is hard to control. i would say 4% growth rate while a nice goal to shoot for is highly unrealistic based on what we have seen in the past. 3% looks more realistic. we don't want to wage a magic wand and pretend that will fix everything, you want reasonable estimates that would help grow the economy, tax reform is one of those, regulatory reforms, spending reforms but let's not pretend it will fix the problem. dagen: when you talk about when people talk about broadening the base, that essentially means some people who are not paying any taxes or net income taxes have to pay something. half of american households would not pay federal income tax. broadening the base doesn't win elections. >> there are two reasons, it would affect high income earners more. one way to do that, i had a plan a number of years ago, tapping all the tax breaks for the well-off, you can't have tax breaks more than x% of your income and could make that a progressive way. the problem that you brought up, a lot of tax breaks people love. and revenue, a lot of head nodding, but you let people know that includes the mortgage interest deduction, healthcare exclusion, state and local taxes, tax reform is hard, you should do it, and just like you can't pretend we can grow our way out of problems, there are winners and losers, and agree our tax code needs to be reformed. dagen: let's turn to the other side. hillary clinton is taking aim at donald trump x economic agenda, listen to this to get your reaction. >> there economic approach still is totally aimed at the top. if you get a hold of donald trump's plan for the taxes of this country, it is trickle-down economics on steroids. cut taxes on the wealthy. it is a billionaire's plan for other billionaires. my husband, who i will put in charge of revitalizing the economy because he knows how to do it. >> what do you think of that? bill clinton's economic record is far from perfect but of course in the 90s, we did expand growth as well as lead the deficit reduction and got is not only to a balanced budget but a budget surplus. >> no question the economy performs under president clinton and he took an impressive lead on responsibility. once he got into office he looked at the situation, it looks worse than he realized and changed his policies, made hard choices. that is what we have to have the next president do. but he was aided by a huge boom in the economy and a bubble. we had high revenues, capital gain areas, closed that gap faster than we thought it would but it also was a bubble that later popped and we had a lot of bubbles in the economy, moving from one bubble to the next which leaves us with a very weak fiscal and economic underpinning for overall long-term growth. it was a tech bubble. i give him credit for making policy choices of the same types we have to look to for the next president and the main thing they have to look to his entitlement reform, something president clinton didn't get. he helped reform social security, that didn't happen, that is long overdue. maria: real quick on donald trump's comments on debt. initially there was somewhere he how to approach it but he walked back those comments. >> debt markets, borrowing, one of those areas that is important for the fiscal health of the country, the underpinning of the overall markets, treasury markets, the things he said about renegotiating our debt, sovereign debt, and printing money all sent shivers through the economy, he drew too many parallels from the private sector debt market to federal debt. they are not the same thing, before you throw policy around. many of us were concerned by the off-the-cuff remarks. maria: thanks so much. strong winds blowing through boston proving too much for the famous bronze statue. we have the latest on the wild weather including record spring snow and tiger woods is terrible, horrible, no good, very bad. all that to stay on the green, stay with us. there's no one road out there. no one surface... no one speed... no one way of driving on each and every road. but there is one car that can conquer them all. the mercedes-benz c-class. five driving modes let you customize the steering, shift points, and suspension to fit the mood you're in... and the road you're on. the 2016 c-class. lease the c300 for $359 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. overwhelming and complicated. that's why at cancer treatment centers of america every patient gets their own care manager to coordinate every aspect of their care. the care manager is making sure everything is flowing well so the patient can continue to get their treatment. we are the link between the patient and the doctor. the care manager coordinates all of the patient's appointments, scans, chemotherapy... we can do paperwork or contact their employers or set them up with home health. that's what brings most people into nursing; you get to connect with people. that's what i love about being a care manager. meet the care managers at ctca. my name is collette... lindsey jodi stacy our nurse care managers are with you every step of the way so you can focus on your fight. cancer is a long journey and i want to do everything in my power to take the stress off of your shoulders so you can enjoy your life at home. learn more at cancercenter.com/caremanager appointments available now. maria: looking at a higher opening, look where we stand, dow jones industrial average fractionally better, we are seeing some pool back at this moment, a couple stocks stand out, home depot rising 3%, the dow jones industrial average, this is where the strength is in markets. it is raising for your guidance, home depot's wild weather helped drive demand in the quarter, and the company's ceo was forced to resign, facing a justice department investigation. it found material weakness in controls over financial reporting, stock, going into the open 11% selloff on top of the huge selloff, another winner is apple, extending the largest 1-day gain after warren buffett's berkshire hathaway disclosed a $1 billion investment in apple yesterday. a state of emergency, is that happening?

>> she realizes he is popular and she isn't but she is not popular. he has this warm, charming, wonderful way and he is a pragmatist when it comes to governing. that is how he governed. as a governor and a president he was a pragmatist, he was ideological until it wouldn't help him, intel it wouldn't go anywhere and he said let's deal with what we have, she is an ideologue. a big difference in how they approach things. maria: what do you think of these meetings trump has set up, some big meetings set up this week, meeting with foreign policy guru henry kissinger, senior political advisor gary bennett meeting with mark zuckerberg, that is happening at company headquarters wednesday, talk about facebook's bias allegations. >> it is an important way for donald trump to show that bravado version of donald trump is not the only thing there is. there is a very serious candidate, a very serious business person and a person who does surround himself with good advice. this is the take on donald trump people miss. he is not a guy who sits there and takes only his own counsel. you don't build the empire he has built doing at. there was a simplicity about his primary message that resonated with voters. i am sitting here talking to you on the campaign trail because i one of 16 people he wiped out but the fact is he did it by keeping the message simple and think the people let's get america put back first and not be globalists, let's be nationalists. frankly i think there are a lot of americans who want to put america back on the upward track. >> you are one of the 16 people he took out. is there a different side of donald we are not seeing behind the scenes? the debates you went to, his rally for veterans, can you talk about the different donald? some established members are starting to come around to members of donald. >> this is a thoughtful serious guy. i will tell you the best way to know donald trump is to watch them interact with his family. i have never seen a person with a deeper, more genuine bond with his wife, his children, adult children and by the way not just children but extraordinarily talented, gifted, hard-working, these are not kids who lived with a silver spoon and had things handed to them. he made them work. they are incredibly responsible. dagen: i said being critical of the language he is using about certain groups, i said those kids are his greatest asset. dagen: this is his sweet spot where hillary clinton is trying to worry about appearing likable, getting bernie sanders out of the way. what can trump do to burnish his own image in these months between now and the convention where there are not a lot of polls out, it is out there for the taking? >> i think he continues to do what he is doing, having thoughtful serious meetings with people but also being donald trump. i hope he does not get sucked into the vortex of political consultants that have goofed up this country as clearly as anybody and i want to make sure he doesn't allow himself to be suckered by these guys who frankly helped put us where we are. he needs to continue to listen to the people that have brought him to this nomination and i think if he does that, he is going to win. he will beat hillary clinton. you know why? hillary clinton is like the british army and the revolutionary war. she will march in an open field, bright red coats shoulder to shoulder with the drum beating, we know exactly what she is going to do. it will be very predictable. donald trump will run a campaign like he did in the primary like the swamp fox, hiding in the trees, you will never see where he is coming from and he will take her out. >> certain national polls are showing that. >> she doesn't handle the unexpected well. it is easy to push her buttons. maria: for a while it was just the quinnipiac poll but there are others. like the quinnipiac state poll, we have to get a lot more polls in the next few months to get a good sense of how they are running against each other. i bet we will see that. a big night coming up on the fox broadcast network, fox news's megyn kelly, and watch this. >> you said you didn't feel the moderators had been nice. do you think it is the journalist's role to be nice to presidential candidates at a debate? >> fair. i don't care if they are nice. >> you used the word nice. >> i might have said they are nice but that doesn't mean they have to be nice. >> it is not a cocktail party. >> in a certain way it might have been a favor because i felt so good about having gotten through, getting through this debate with those questions you can get through anything. >> you participated in the presidential debates yourself obviously. what do you think is the role of a journalist? when i join the debate with neil cavuto and gerri baker we felt strongly we needed to be straight, stick to the issues, no personality? >> i would say this, i am not just groveling, be aware, i thought foxbusiness did the best job in the entire debate process of anybody in the reason why is the questions were all straight up, none were gotcha questions, they were legitimate thoughtful follow-ups but none of them were out to say let's go after this guy and see if we can engage these guys in a food fight. what you want is ask me what i would do as president, ask me the depths of policy, push my buttons, that is fine, but make it about the issues and policy, what did i say 26 years ago in some speech, that is ridiculous. maria: but that was a viable question megan asked in that first debate and trump just got angry. >> i would have said that is a legitimate question but ask it later in the debate because it was the first thing out-of-the-box. i think it probably set a tone that was very difficult. they make it wasn't his response at the debate but his treatment of her on twitter for months. this is water under the bridge and this is evidence of that and i am stoked to watch this tonight but i think maybe you are seeing a different donald trump. he is running, he has got the nomination now. >> two professional sit down to address issues and it will make for a great interview. >> the ratings are going to be absolutely off the charts. maria: on the fox broadcast network, great to see you, thanks for joining us. straightahead thousands of workers forced to evacuate the canadian oil sands as the alberta wildfire moves north. is the worst yet to come?

the start of the year. our next guest was bullish on stocks but is disappointing earnings season with sluggish economic growth, way down markets, the raging bull market has turned into a sitting bull market. the president of wells fargo investment institute, nice to get you on the program. first on oil, $47 a barrel, reversed course this morning and that is leading stocks, oil still a major barometer of the stock market. >> it is a major barometer and we think in the near-term oil goes above 50. there is a confluence of eventss giving a strong bid. you have a weaker dollar and strength out of emerging markets, overall just people still covering short positions in the market so i wouldn't be surprised to see 50. you could even see it if it breaks levels up to 60. maria: looking at oil prices, you don't necessarily see inflation at 8:30 a.m.. we are talking about that for 0.2%. >> gets cover for the fed not to raise rates especially june and preceding months so that is where the fed will get covered to keep rates really low, givet dollar. maria: you don't expect those rates. >> no. i would say 0.2 on the core, but it may be 0.4 on the headline, the second headline positive print on cpi we have seen since september of last year. energy has come up. when you x out energy and food you are seeing deflation in certain parts of the economy. >> it still looks like it is over 2%, headline, food prices up a little bit, wages are up a little bit. certainly energy is up, so that leads to a stronger inflation number in the second half of the year. >> the sitting blue you are talking about, it is negative and you are seeing that it flows whether it is etf getting negative into negative products and everything, but the election will happen and we are seeing that tends to be a great year for the market. what are we seeing in the bull market? >> to put a point on that, from 2009-2014 the s&p annualized 21%, markets don't usually go up 6 years in a row, annualized that 2.5% which is the dividend on the s&p 500. in the second half of the year you get that tailwind from currency, crude prices and consumer still has a lot of ammunition, savings rates printed the highest we have seen in multiple years. >> wages are going up too. >> that leads to more strength in the second half, profits getting better. the markets price off of the outlook in 2017. dagen: you get past the election because there is increasing research being done on wells fargo did research going back to 1933 when the stock market tends to underperform and you have two candidates who are both shape shifting if you will on some policy issues. we talked about when donald trump was talking about the national treasury market. again there is a little bit of that and you are getting it on both sides when you talk on trade, taxes, they are all over the place, hard to invest in that environment. >> the sentiment is so bad right now, flows have been bad and if you look at the options market and what is pricing in going forward. the sentiment is so bad that you can literally by 3 calls with the money just to give you an idea on that. that is incredibly cheap. the cheapest forward-looking curve we have seen in a long time tells you the market is expecting this flat market into the election but when sentiment gets that bad for an indicator you back that up with improving data, improving profit data, leads to better numbers. the risk reward is to your favor. maria: sound like you have put money to work in stocks. still to come up the polls are open in the bluegrass battleground, hillary

morning to you, maria. open for an hour and half covered up a that puts us 10 hours away to see if hillary clinton can't be counted when it's not senator sanders laments in good weather in kentucky is miserable, but despite that a brisk turnout at one polling location. this is a closed primary. thus far in the election secretary clinton has done well in all the primaries but they ) may occur traditionally but suffice among kentucky. the comments in which secretary clinton said she would put coal miners out of work, those continue to haunt her, but they might not see his ugly as west virginia. the comment only hurt comment only her turns hold dear >> the two regions in kentucky and eastern kentucky and appalachia, those comments will resonate in those particular districts. those districts registered democrats that probably go to senator sanders. however, they are probably turning more heavily towards the republican party anyway for cultural reasons. reporter: 55 plus delegates are up for grabs or five superdelegates. they sanders full text the win, he doesn't watch much of a dent in clinton sizable delegate lead. for sanders, this is not carry momentum. for clinton and mrs. reestablishing momentum or establishing her identity as the presumptive nominee, turning attention away from senator sanders and aiming guns where she wants to name the donald are reappeared trimmed to thank you so much. joining me right now is the armor and is he a press that bob rice, also author from nbc autism. always nice to you. vanessa have you on the program. >> card maria: you and i go back and of course one of my first bosses at nbc. >> your wedding. maria: my wedding and so much together. why did you write this book? like i was going to write a short book about observations from business and i got into it after a whole bunch of us did a lot with nbc for 22 years. and then all of a sudden when it got really good it got sold. there's no history. i did one of the history disappear from 1996 through 2010. the words are people that actually work there and did things. wonderful people. it is a way for all of us to go back and look at what we did. not everything was perfect either way. a lot of disappointments but an awful lot of exciting things and we built a very solid company. maria: from my standpoint as the glory days when jack welch was running general electric are at nbc. you were so supportive. congratulations on what you did as well as jack. i want to take you back to something a couple weeks ago that you are embarrassed by the way people were treating this political moment we are in and the way you're treating donald trump. the >> for a long period of time, it was total denial. i was watching the audiences he was pulling together and he's pulling together a lot of independents, democrats and republicans. plainspoken is some and not allowed in politics. nobody thinks they can get away with it. he's doing it and it's refreshing. no political correctness and it touches but people really want to know here. he would make a very good president. maria: people are oblivious to the millions of people he's tracking. does that bother you sometimes only talk about the issues you are not being the kind of sampson and specifics when it comes to, for example, what you do in terms of the main $10 trillion to end what you do in terms of taking down isis. >> the reality is this is democracy, not a republic. the president has limited legislative ability. the president can't do a lot of things that only congress can do them. the president can lead to when you're looking for a president, you want a leader, someone who can influence congress and have a good idea where they are. everyone of the candidates had big decision papers, page after page. those things don't really make that much difference to voters and they don't make much difference when when you get in office. you're going to have to deal with congress. i think he's got a clear ability to do that. maria: which is why his tax plan was talk about. he said that, it is a proposal appeared in the negotiation. i want to read one excerpt from the book about making trump executive producer of miss universe. you had real experience dealing with donald trump. 30 years. i've had at nbc i got into business attempt within this universe pageant and i made an executive producer because he was complaining about the judges and production. you go on to say he knew how to make it work for television. i remember trump telling me you know may come in the two things i love in life for women and for you he brought order to all the shows he was part of his ratings for the apprentice rows, so they trump's face. the great negotiator made more than $213 million from 14 seasons of the apprentice and related branded projects, many of which bore his likeness. >> he turned around. we out half of it. we wanted a more active role. i said why don't you run it. he said can i really? i said you go had run it. i had complete faith he would do better within our team. we had a whole group of people. judges interviewing people, kind of like a cross between miss america and something else. the very first year that he took over the raiders were 25% or 30%. maria: wow. good performance. what is your take on the way things have changed in terms of streaming and digital? look at what you are able to build at nbc. it's a different story today because of netflix, amazon, original content. maria: my world with cable and satellite as the other alternatives and also working on the broadcast network and cable channels that we created or bought into you. this is exciting because now it's really on demand for people to get a chance to see exactly what it is they want to see when they want to see it. i think it also bodes very well for life television because live television now has a real differential. people that are going to watch -- sit down and watched six episodes of netflix are probably going to want to see some live television and make sure they are still applies. i think there is a great opportunity. that is why shows like yours and things that are in front of people and people trying to make sense out of them in a limited amount of time are so important. maria: it is interesting when i left cnbc, i was there for 20 years. people go what are you doing? we've had tremendous success at the fox business network. when you look at the ratings than the growth of where we are coming there is a moment in time in the 90s when people were looking at every take. today it's not all about the stock market and that is one of the reasons why we are beating cnbc in the morning at many hours, 8:00 a.m. our. >> you have a body of material on here. i just saw dagen mcdowell and i remember her for many years. people like that are quirky and a sense they carry a lot of material in their head and they can make a call on all kinds of different things. i think your show is doing a very good job. maria: and of course roger ailes came here come the start of fox news channel, ratings off the chart. and now doing it again with the business network. >> father left when they formed msnbc which is the channel he was developing in doubt than two and a lack and he was very upset about that. going over here to create fox was sort of a natural ending of that. maria: it really was. d.c. bigger changes for the overall industry five years now? >> i think there is a great place for life television and news, information, sport and there is going to be a tremendous amount of individual viewing by third of streaming or whether it is on demand for all kinds of other things. that's the world with a van for the next number of years. maria: i want to congratulate you on what you and your wife suzanne have been able to do with autism speaks. he moved the needle, made the awareness up and center. thank you very much. bob wright,

company's tomorrow - today - at business.ny.gov maria: welcome back. focusing on oregon and kentucky is resident casting primary ballots today. joining us from paul spring, california, trump supporter and actor sean kamen. thanks so much for joining us. >> good morning, maria. maria: when did you decide to become a trump supporter? we are all fans of yours in afternoon tv. you've been talking about trump a lot lately. >> in outcome i have to tell you i was an independent for a long time. i was moved to support mr. trump is here. i think that the liberal democrats are moving us towards having one world order where america is simply like a country among countries. i tend to agree with ronald reagan that we are the shining city on the hill. america needs to lead the way in america is utter for the world and we are exceptional. mr. trump embodies those same sentiments. maria: over the last seven years, people were desperate to hear the president say yeah, you are exceptional. but he would say it. people are fighting back right now and they want to make sure that it can't exceptional. what he think about these comments from angelina jolie? basically saying she is voicing her disapproval of trump stand on muslims to a reporter at abc. she said to me america is dealt on people from around the world coming together for redub, especially freedom of religion. it is hard to hear this coming from someone pressing to be american presidents. >> mr. trump is absolutely not a perfect candidate. a lot of people say the same thing about ronald reagan and he turned out to be one of the greatest presidents. that's definitely one of the policies are not particularly in favor of. i'm in favor of our government enforcing immigration laws and that induce people to our country rather than necessarily putting a blanket ban on all muslims in the country. dagen: are you going to raise money for donald trump? that's one way at this dresses and celebrities can help. >> now, i haven't raised any money for mr. trump yet. but i wouldn't rule that out either. >> sean, it's kevin. it's refreshing to get an intelligent and eloquent actor to talk about. >> nobody in palm springs resist suit and tie at 4:30 in the morning. >> nobody wears a suit and tie. >> my question is very particular issue that you support trump with? is there one outstanding egg that this is the defining issue that trump has over hillary? >> there's actually quite a few issues. the whole duplicity about the e-mails really rubs me the wrong way. tran maria: you just don't trust her. >> i don't. absolutely not. i know a lot of stuff has come up with mr. trump. people have to remember for decades he was living his life as a private citizen and a businessman and i think there's a different set of criteria that applies to somebody in the public eye than someone in the private business sector. if i had to pick a few things that resonate with me, the first is the way that our veterans are treated. the men and women that defend us, defend our very liberty are being treated in many cases like garbage. mr. trump wants to rebuild the military which i'm a huge proponent of and wants to treat our veterans ray. another issue is a revamping of the tax code. it is so convoluted that the majority of tax-preparation experts don't understand all about it. how can the average joe know what to do? get we've got an irs by scandals with lois lerner and when it comes to us having to pay, and they are on the spot. >> it's interesting hillary clinton has been doubling down. we want to build up on obamacare, not repeal it. we want to raise more taxes than we know in the last seven years that hasn't worked. >> it hasn't worked at all. we are facing in $19 trillion deficit. i have a theory. it's not mine but i subscribe to it that the expansion of government really causes a contraction of our own personal liberty. again, we are mortgaging a bill for our kids and grandkids that may very well be something that can eventually collapse our economic system. maria: great analysis. we appreciate you joining us this morning. sean tran 11 joining us. karen shawn tonkin others talk, i feel like this could be a crushing in november. i don't know how you feel, but i know this is a very solid never trump campaign up there. more and more people say we don't trust hillary clinton. >> day by day i hear people who have reservations about donald trump. those are not there anymore. >> donald trump is running for the best interest of the country. hillary clinton can't say the same thing. she will run in the best interest of herself. maria: former mississippi governor haley barbour and toss. his thoughts coming out. also, stuart varney joining us coming up with rick grant hill. coming up in a moment. . . . . fish. maria: good morning, everybody. happy tuesday, i'm maria bartiromo. it is tuesday may 17th, top stories on 8:00 a.m. on the east coast. primary day for kentucky and oregon. front-runner hillary clinton looking to snap ben bernanke's winning streak and looking to. take on donald trump -- bernie sanders. >> here is the question? what is your plan to create jobs? his answer is i'm going to create them.e great. [laughter] i know how do it but i'm not telling you what it is i'm going to do. i think we know a little bit about how to create jobs. i think my husband did a heck of a job creating job. maria: we'll take you to the campaign trail. we're weeks away from official start of summer. some on the east coast this morning are waking up to snow, yes, snow. we have details. what twitter is doing to make the 140 characters. oil back up a quarter of a percent. oil breaking $48 a barrel overnight. we're looking at oil at 47.82 last trade. that has been one issue for broader markets. futures in the u.s. are mixed. we got a big move in home depot. that stock going to be a broad winner. broader averages looking at fractional move at lower open for trading. look at home depot. the stock jumping ahead at the open as first-quarter earnings and revenue beat expectations. they took guidance up or the rest of the-year higher. we have dagen mcdowell, kevin kelly and town hall, fox news contributor guy benson with us this morning. great to see you. thanks for joining us with the conversation. >> great to be in new york. maria: still more to come. we have former rnc chairman, haley barbour and host of "varney & company," stuart varney. former assistant to ambassador of the united nations ric grenell. don't want to miss a moment of it. voting is underway in kentucky where hillary clinton is campaigning hoping to stop rival bernie sanders string of victories as the primary season gets into the final stages. jeff flock in prospect, kentucky with the very latest. jeff, good morning. reporter: food morning to you, maria. bernie sanders says if turnout is high we win. it is pouring rain here in kentucky. actually three precincts in this church outside of louisville. not exactly throngs out there. of course this is a closed primary. all of the advantages point to hillary clinton. she spent yesterday barnstorming this state, four different stops. that as bernie sanders already moved on to puerto rico. so as we said, it is all in her favor and already yesterday, it seemed like she was more campaigning not against bernie sanders but against donald trump. listen. >> i actually think it matters what you say you're going to do if you're running for president. so you know, maybe he will get around to it, maybe he won't but i'm voting for placing my trust in the american people who are going to be able to figure out who actually has your back when it comes to the economy! reporter: as we said bernie sanders moving on to puerto rico, sort of tamping down expectations realizing this is closed primary. he doesn't get the independents crossing over to help him out. i don't know there is much chance that bernie sanders winds up hillary clinton's vp. we now know marco rubio will not be donald trump's. look at tweets from marco rubio this morning. he said in response to reports he is on the short list. i only said 10,000 times i will be a private citizen in january. people close to me claiming to know my thoughts, they just make it up he says. never heard of that. maybe it happens. maria? maria: he is responding to all the speculation out there, jeff, that's for sure. thank you, jeff flock, live this morning. joining me former rnc chairman and former mississippi governor haley barbour. governor, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, maria, for having me. maria: what are your thoughts going into kentucky and oregon this morning? >> with a closed primary in kentucky that would favor clinton but with the war on coal waged by obama administration and the way mrs. clinton is running advocating she will be a third term for barack obama's presidency, there are a lot of people who lost their jobs in kentucky because of the administration's war on coal. the problem for bernie sanders, he's in the same boat with hillary clinton. so he doesn't get the benefit of that. so probably clinton probably does win in kentucky. maria: it is really extraordinary what is going on the democratic side, but governor, i want to get your take on the state of the gop. are they really united enough to take on hillary? we're still talking this morning about the possibility of this conversation around a third party? >> well, a third party is just a vote for hillary clinton. all of us remember ross perot. ross perot got 19% of the vote in 1992. it elected bill clinton. in fact in 1996, ross perot's 9% of the vote was the difference between clinton and dole. maria: right. >> and don't think that that isn't accurate because in 1996 the vast majority of, overwhelming of perot voters for president voted house and senate. these people normally would be with us. a third party, every liberal democrat i know is worn out two sets of knee pads down on their knees praying for third party candidate. that will insure hillary clinton's victory. maria: you would think so. guy benson is here. ii want to get your take. john kasich said if you do a they are party it won't be me. watch this. >> i had a phone call someone wanted me to consider running a 30 party candidate. >> are you considering running? >> no, i'm not going to do that. >> why? >> well i think i gave it my best where i am. i just think running third party doesn't feel right. i think it's not constructive. maria: fascinating. so you don't think we'll see a third party candidate then, or do you, even though it's a vote for hillary clinton, governor? >> certainly hope we're not. glad to hear what marco rubio and john kasich said. obviously they understand the effect after third party candidacy. you might as well vote for hillary clinton if you're voting for third party candidate. maria: guy benson on set, you agree with that? >> based on some of the reports we're seeing there are a number of people in the party and conservative movement who are trying to recruit someone to run as third party or independent candidate. they're struggling to find someone in any name recognition or juice willing to do so. governor, the last republican standard-bearer is mitt romney who is reportedly at the forefront of this effort, making some of these phone calls, courting people. what do you make of governor romney? i know you have great respect for him. what would you say to him? what is your message to governor romney? >> i think he is doing the wrong thing. i like mitt. mitt and i served together as governors. he is a good person. a really, really high type of person but i think this is wrong for our country. we don't need a third term for obama and that is exactly what hillary clinton will be, a third term for obama on steroids. the country assistant stand that. we've gone from just over $10 trillion in national debt, to over $19 trillion in less than seven 1/2 years. now, just that in and of itself should be enough for right-thinking americans to say we can't stand more of this. guy, it is is not a coincidence, 2/3 of americans think our country is going to the wrong direction. 2/3, a whole lot of people aren't republicans. there are democrats too. maria: yeah. dagen: governor in terms of unity, has anybody called governor romney on the phone and said cut it out? because it, even if you don't, even if you don't like donald trump, a lot of the, his most vocal, even opponents say the bush family, they have been quiet so far. it's one thing to just not campaign for him but all together different to be vocal and out there like mitt romney going on facebook last week? >> well there is certainly a lot of people in our party who are not comfortable with donald trump who i hope will get comfortable with him. life is series of choices. we're down whether it was your preference or not, we're down to the choice between hillary clinton and donald trump. one of the two of them will be president of the united states. with that choice i'm for donald trump every time. we have a lot of people in our party who were uncomfortable with trump maybe because they didn't think he could win. that is behind us. he is going to be our nominee. secondly they don't know what he stands for on issues or are uncomfortable. he has some work to do there. over 9% of the republicans -- '90s voted for mitt romney -- voted voted for john mccain. we need that percentage for donald trump. and win independents. in this election, hillary clinton has trump does, tremendous problems politically. maria: yeah. >> so donald trump can win but he can't win if our party doesn't support him, if people don't come together. i'm hoping they will. i remember 1976 very well when many republicans after the convention who had been for reagan said they weren't going to vote for ford. ford was behind 33 points. on election day 2 1/2 months later he lost by 2 points because came home, conservatives came home. i hope -- >> but he still lost, governor. that is the concern is, that ford still lost. >> well i don't think we're going to have trump down 33 points. if donald trump can make up 31 points, he will win in a landslide. maria: let me ask you this, of course we have a big night on the fox broadcast network. fox news's megyn kelly sitting down with donald trump in exclusive one-on-one interview. here is preview. want to get your reaction. >> you are so powerful, you are so powerful now. >> i don't view myself as that i view myself as a person fighting for survival. that is all i view myself. i feel myself somewhat of a messenger. this is massive thing going on. these are millions and millions of people disenfranchised from this country. >> it's true but they're listening to you and they're taking their cue from you. so that is the question, whether now, so close to the oval office whether you will take that responsibility seriously and change your tone to try to be more unifying and less divisive? maria: governor, do you think trump needs to change his tone? >> well, look, he has got his own personality, that is the way it is going to be. i do think it is helpful for him when he does like he did few days ago, couple weeks ago, he made a very serious speech on foreign policy. i think he needs to do more on that. he needs to compare what the obama record is, the obama's failed policies and bad results and what he would do differently so we have the right kind of results. i think when he does that, a lot of people feel like they get to know better what to expect and i think they will compare that to hillary clinton and say, i'm for donald trump. maria: governor, good to see you, sir. thanks so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you, maria, we'll see you soon.

the mother rejected him. >> of course they didn't understand that.ey thought the . there is something good where this came from but, you know there have been bison roaming the planet for a while. i think they have got this cold thing figured out by now. maria: why is one cold, not rest of the herd. dagen: you visit the parks they lecture you repeatedly about, literature, about not messing with the wildlife. these are animals. this is not a farm -- >> petting zoo. dagen: certain expletive. not a petting zoo. not somebody's farm. keep driving. maria: >> putting it in the back seat, what did think they they were going to do with it. dagen: don't touch wildlife. maria: iran's treatment of captured american sailors. what a story this is. one congressman says it will shock the nation. forget career websites. how about snapchatting your way up the corporate ladder. how one college student landed his perfect job interview through social media. back in a moment. maria: welcome back. new details this morning in the maritime standoff between several u.s. sailors and iranian forces earlier this year. we know that the soldiers were detained and held captive but the details of this incident remain classified. in an interview yesterday congressman randy forbes says the american people will be shocked to find out the truth what happened. i think when details come out i think most americans will be kind of taken aback by the entire incident both how iran handled it and how we handled it. joining us former navy pilot and intelligence operator lea gabrielle. nice to see you. >> thank you, maria. maria: what do we know about the incident? >> we don't know a lot, what the congressman is saying about his briefing what he has seen of the incident. it will probably take about a year before the classified report will be released. i think it will be released in some sort of redacted form. i don't think we'll see all details. according to him there were clear violations of international and maritime law. if you look at the incident itself and what happened, our sailors were clearly not treated appropriately. if you look at a picture, this isn't something i haven't heard a lot of people talking about, there is female sailor in the back. maria: there she is with her head covered. >> she had head covered, uniform item. completely inappropriate for uniform item over her head. i would be interested to see what we learned about why she was wearing that. maria: they forced her to do it, obviously? >> seems as though that would be case. we'll have to wait to see what the report says. i think there will be portions we'll never find out f there was a classified mission, so far the military, defense department, basically shied away from indicating this was some sort of a classified mission they have been on. they said that the, they lost navigation and sort of drifted into this these waters. that that may be true, may not be true. there will be tendency to protect any sort of mission they may have been on. maria: we know that the leader of the group was reprimanded. you're never supposed to leave your ship. dagen: secretary of state john kerry thanked iran after these sailors were returned he thanked them for their cooperation. can we play that again. >> let me talk about the reprimanded. xo of the unit was relieved. that typically happens in the military when something goes badly wrong they will relief people. we don't know reasons why but we're not talking about the sailors themselves. go ahead, dagen, what you're saying. maria: john kerry is thanking iran. look at way they're treating -- >> she structured that iranian nuclear deal where we give a million concessions. this is consistent with this administration's treatment of iran. they're being completely complacent. iran defies at every juncture they can. maria: john kerry's brother-in-law, son-in-law who is iranian? dagen: i don't know. maria: john kerry's son-in-law is iranian. obviously valerie jarrett in the white house is iranian. grew up there until she was five. wondering where the pressure came from to do this iran deal frankly? >> you mentioned it. the iran deal was going on. this happened all about the same time. i think it was january 16th, january 17th, the deal essentially went into effect, that sanctions would be lifted if iran complied with the deal. this incident happened, january 12, 13th, is the day they were actually released. one. real questions everyone will want to know, what, how did the iran nuclear deal and desire for this administration to keep that moving forward, how did that impact the way we handled the situation with these sailors, the way they were treated. of course secretary kerry thanking iranians for treating them so well, when clearly they were forced to -- >> this administration -- maria: why would you thank them? >> think about this. why did we give up five prisoners to guantanamo bay to send them book to qatar at the front lines of isis in order to get one of our men back? >> to present both sides of the situation here, we report you decide, the reason they would thank them there are other underlying diplomatic relations -- we don't have diplomatic relations formally with iran. when you're dealing country to country, there are ways you send messages both publicly and privately. clearly secretary kerry had some reason for wanting to send a public message to iran. we don't know why. we may never know why. >> they are begging iran -- >> they were trying to push this iran nuclear deal. >> they are begging iran to maintain the deal which is the president's foreign policy legacy. they will do anything, virtually anything. >> let me present one other side to that. the other side this administration has been trying to get international consensus. that is the way it is trying to run the foreign policy not having us be policemen of the world by getting other countries involved. there could be administration effort to sort of force the hand of other countries for them to see that iran will not support this deal and not react appropriately. that may be their strategy. dagen: international posture unfortunately is that of again you flecking. that is a problem. >> international businesses benefiting, koreanss, germans, foreign countries benefiting the deal doing business with iran. >> that's why they wanted it. >> correct but american companies are not. maria: was the thank you by secretary kerry before or after khomeni says death to america? >> he says that every friday. >> between the conservatives and hard-line iranians how they relate to the united states. maria: thank you, lea gabrielle. state of emergency in venezuela, foot shortages, blackouts, skyrocketing inflation are the new normal. what it means to the global economy. back in a moment. when a moment turns romantic why pause to take a pill?

people say this is the cost of socialism. how do you see it? >> look when you have government manipulation, when you have government pressure on markets, free markets, this is what happens. eventually get to a collapse. you can not say president maduro without talking about hugo chavez. we have decades of socialism down in this part of the world, and it is not surprising to see leftist government of brazil start to have problems. now we're seeing venezuela about to collapse. seriously could collapse. this will bleed over into columbia. this is affecting markets not just in oil, but certainly coffee and flowers, bananas. there is whole bunch much market markets that will be affect bid governor manipulation of prices leads to collapse. we're printing money, inflation and skyrocketing. this is economic policies gone awry. we don't need to take hands-off approach and kind of let others fail here. because it certainly affects our markets. maria: here is guy benson. >> rick, looking at some video footage we're showing over your comments, including some b-roll, people holding up signs of protests they're heartbreaking. one person says i'm hungry. there are other signs, no hen, no chicken, no meat, no anything for tease people. rick, what strikes me a lot of the time arguments in favor of leftism are made on emotional moralistic plane and i feel like this is opportunity not to exploit people's tragedy. people who oppose socialism, not just because intellectually we're against it and we don't think it's fair and goes against our ideology, the point is leftism actively hurts people, particularly poor people and lower middle class people who absolutely slammed in place like caracas and whole country of venezuela. >> people want to help peer people but only way that works if you have a whole bunch of rich people doing well can be taxed at high levels. what you're seeing when you have 75% drop in the oil price and government simply prints money to be able to pay for some of their outrageous programs, you have unsustainable system. i think that is why when you look at leftist policies and socialist policies, even here in the united states, when you talk about free college. when you talk about a, you know, health care system one payor and everybody kind of gets free health care and somebody else pays for it, you have to look how to pay for these giveaways and these freebies. if you don't have a support system, eventually it will collapse. you run out of money. dagen: can i ask you a question, rick? you know we'll be asked to send money to venezuela. optics and photos coming out of the country. you know that is going to happen before the next president is inaugurated. >> look, there has been over the last couple months obama min strikes foreign policy, they reached out to venezuela. they tried to calm the waters after hugo chavez who clearly hated george bush and american foreign policy and economic policy. luckily for us the venezuelans rebuffed the obama administration and kept to their language. president maduro hates united states. this is usually one of the points they push down there which is, oh the americans are at it again. look, president maduro is trying to blame the entire crisis on washington. >> rick, you need to look no further than the obama administration who really stepped back from pressuring venezuela and reach the out to say how can we help but luckily rebuffed by the venezuelans. this administration is on tour trying to help cuba and help iran and help all leftist governments. >> i think american citizens will be really reticent wanting to send taxpayer funds to hand money over to the venezuela government. are there other policies we could enact to send help down there or even just food or help out in the currency markets? >> look, i think we need to be able to send experts that know the currency markets to deal with inflation. that know how to have cons it tent currency and monetary policy. so you're not just printing money to pay for these programs. venezuela is having a really hard time with their import exporting. can't get products because their money is completely worthless. we need to work through the world bank or imf or some other international organization. u.n. should step in. our ambassador, samantha power should do something at u.n. they will not receive it well. venezuelans as i said hate americans, leftist government hates all of the american government activists and expert but i think we should try because we know how to deal with inflation and they need to learn from us. i wouldn't advise doing anything in terms of hard dollars. we certainly don't need to give a bailout. they have got bad policies. any money we give without changing those bad policies will be a waste. dagen: thanks so much for insights. we -- good to speak with you. ric grenell. gold opportunity for donald trump to grab blue-collar votes in coal country. stuart varney weighs in. sending in resume' and cover letter on website is not enough to get an interview in today's age. one college students got a call back for the job of his dreams. would you attend more sporting events if food prices were lower?

>> yes, flat-out yes, no question about it. it is all across the front page of "new york times" today. here is the headline, democratic rift opens as pillars of party clash. well they're talking about is rift between the unions within the democrat party and the greenies. it all centers around this this guy, know him, tom stay year, billionaire hedge fund manager. started up this super-pac. wants $50 million to get out the vote for democrats and wants afl-cio to put in money. maria: he is the one stopping fracking, right? he has been the win saying, going all environmental and wanting this administration to invest in solar companies and all this stuff. >> he is anti-blue-collar union jobs, pipe fitters, the pipeline makers, producers all that kind of thing. he is dead set against fossil fuels. now he wants big labor's money in this get out the vote effort. and there is a couple unions, including laborers union, which said, no, you're not getting our money. you oppose our interests. listen to what the head of labor union said. we object to the political agenda of the afl-cio being sold to a job-killing hedge fund manager with a bag of cash. i think that sums it up nicely. maria: that says it all. >> another rift. not just bernie versus hillary dividing the party. it is now unions versus greenies dividing the party. as you said, maria, isn't this golden opportunity for donald trump to scoop up blue-collar union guys. he is everring jobs, good-paying jobs. make america great again. that is just what they want to hear. maria: isn't it unbelievable, you hear about koch, charles and david koch from the other side. you never hear about this guy. same kind of influence behind the dems, tom. >> stuart, glad you brought up jobs. if you look at home depot numbers this morning, they beat on the top line, they beat on bottom line and increased revenues and forecast. that goes to rising wages, people invest in hair homes, do you think the election will have to be about the economy, stupid, the old saying? or will this be about this type of issues or about foreign policy? >> by the time we vote in november, i suspect it comes down to topic one, which is the decline of the great american middle class. the buying power middle class people today is lower than it was eight years ago. that is a fact. that is what politicians come to grips with. that will be topic one in this election, come november. there will be lots of scrapping around beforehand about global warming, climate change, et cetera, et cetera. women and minorities. those are other issues which will of course get a full airing. by the time we vote, it is the economy stupid. that is job one. maria: here is guy benson. >> stuart, we saw a clip earlier in the show, hillary clinton mocking donald trump on job creation. he will promise great jobs. he won't tell us how he will do it. i'm not a great trump fan i you know that. this easiest lay-up for trump to go down the court and lay up, how many jobs have you created, hillary clinton? i create ad bunch. seems like she is playing into his hand sometimes. >> i think you're right, guy. it is set up for trump to come right back, i'm going to create jobs. i know how to do it. that is exactly what he is going to say. by the way, guy, hillary, i think i detected a different accent with that -- maria: dagen: i called that, stuart. anytime she is like south of pennsylvania she starts turning it on, badly i might add. even after all those years in arkansas still can't do a southern accent. >> so authentic. >> well-taken. i will not attempt to imitate an american accent either now or ever. got it?
