BOLTON: Well, at the very least, I think it gives them a sincere credibility problem.
LOUDON: Absolutely.
BOLTON: And the effort where they're saying, OK, we have a news feed, and we have freedom of speech, all points of view under normal circumstances are meant to be represented. I want to bring you a quick update here on Amazon. I'm looking at the shares here. Stocks breaking out to close a new high of almost 1 percent, but third straight record high in a row for this stock. So, essentially, it is benefiting in some ways from disappointing retailers' figures at Macy's. We saw that yesterday. After the close today we had Nordstrom reporting earnings. But I want to ask you about Jeff Bezos, because he's been a Democratic Party donor. He is the owner of the Washington Post. And he has ordered a 20-person team of journalists to, essentially, dig up dirt on Donald Trump. Now, we know in the past -- I mean, listen, muckraking journalism has been around for centuries, but this is the new age. What is your take on it, Gina?
LOUDON: This is exactly the thing that has propelled Trump to exactly where he is today. And let me say this, you know, no matter how you feel about Donald Trump, there's nobody better vetted, there's nobody in politics right now that has been covered to the extent that Donald Trump has been covered. I can sincerely doubt, one, that they're going to dig up anything that we don't already know about. And, two, that the American people care because no one expects him to be that perfect, polished, packaged politician that everyone's used to. That's exactly the reason why he is so popular because he's not that.
BOLTON: Right. I think it's going to make people want to support him more, the more embattled they think he is.
(CROSSTALK)
LOUDON: Exactly.
BOLTON: OK. That's why we have to stick up for this guy, we have to fight for him and perhaps vote for him even. But it does bring up this tension between Silicon Valley and conservatives.
LOUDON: Yes.
BOLTON: I mean, there are a lot of libertarians in Silicon Valley, and some are choosing to support Donald Trump such as Peter Kiel. Some have been more vocal they plan to support Hillary Clinton. I want to ask you though about Apple, since we are in Silicon Valley. The stock we're going to show on our screen, for our viewers, but more importantly, this is essentially where workers in China are living. And these are the people who are putting together the iPhones that cost quite a lot of money, at least in North America. And there's a lot of people saying that the CEO, Tim Cook, is fairly hypocritical in the sense of he is often pushing a kind of kinder, more human agenda as when he speaks, but that's where workers are living. You and I talked about this at Foxconn (ph), which is actually where these are put together, people were committing suicide.
LOUDON: Yeah. They're living in amazingly horrible.
(CROSSTALK)
BOLTON: It looks like a jail.
LOUDON: Americans don't understand things like this. Americans don't understand why someone would say one thing on American soil and then be conducting business that way.
BOLTON: Especially not a company with $178 billion in cash on the balance sheet.
LOUDON: Precisely right. And then, you have someone like Donald Trump come along and say iPhones should be made in America, and everybody scoffs at that, but then you look at pictures like this, and you can see how the American people connect with that sentiment. Having said that, you know, we sure don't want to see these people in any more dire straits, but why not put a little money and even showcase it? What better marketing would there be, Deirdre, than showcasing the improvements you've made for these people who live there if that's what you're going to do?
BOLTON: I'm looking at this video with you. It honestly looks like a prison.
LOUDON: They're not showing the sewage system. They have like pedal push, like raw sewage.
(CROSSTALK)
BOLTON: Horrible conditions for people.
LOUDON: And health dangers for real.
BOLTON: And for a company that makes quite a lot of money. Gina, thank you so much. It's great to have you here.
LOUDON: Thank you. Great to be in studio with you.
(CROSSTALK)
BOLTON: Gina joining me there.
All right. Apple, we told you we were going to show you the chart, here it is. Down second day in a row, erasing all of its gains from the last two years, down more than 2 percent. Stock drop removing it from its perch, if you like, as the world's most valuable company, that is if you measure in market cap.
All right. Free range burger Shake Shack jumping 5 percent after hours, earnings toping expectations, raising its same-store sales, restaurant sales for the rest of the year.
Education run amok in an MIT lecture saying that global warming could be the cause of Islamophobia. We're going to connect the dots for you.
Kids were failing at one high school, so the school changed how the kids are graded. We're going to tell you why it should be a very big concern to that community and yours.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LISA SIMPSON, THE SIMPSON: Look at me, evaluate, and rank me. Oh, I'm good, good, good and, oh, so smart. Grade me.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BOLTON: We just brought you the news and video, you're going to see it on your screens now. From the Guardian in the U.K., this was on the subject of the Apple dorm-style rooms, and we do want to tell you, we did reach out to Apple for a comment. We did not hear back from the company, but we will keep you posted if we do.
In the meantime, cars, factories, even cows are accused of causing climate change. This week, though, professors at MIT offered a new explanation in a discussion called Is Islamophobia Accelerating Global Warming? So the topic was presented by a professor from the University of Melbourne who has a history of courting controversy, promoting far-left, and sometimes anti- Israeli ideas. With me now, National Review online reporter Fox News' contributor, Kat Timpf is with me now. So Kat, he went through this whole thing, and I should say as well the economist did a version of it as well trying to link resources dying.
KAT TIMPF, NATIONAL REVIEW: Right.
BOLTON: . with the rise of extremism in numerous forms.
TIMPF: I feel like if this were a thing -- because I tried to read this, but it didn't seem like actual words to me. I think if it was really a thing, it's probably important to this guy. Given his background, he'd be able to and want to explain it in a way that others can understand. He doesn't want to do that. He wants to sound smart.
BOLTON: I was going to say he's probably working on a book and he wants to.
TIMPF: Yeah.
(CROSSTALK)
TIMPF: It's like the guy from the University of Oregon, story of the feminist glaciers study. And then, when people said what is this garbage? He said you're just not smart enough to get it. No.
(CROSSTALK)
BOLTON: I know what you're saying. There's a language that you really had to want to focus and stay with it. And to your point, the writing in that is exactly clear. I want to ask you, speaking of clear writing, Maryland's largest school system is trying to make it easier for kids the get into college, so Montgomery County schools, very wealthy area, rounding up grades, essentially, after students basically have two quarters' worth of grades get averaged. So basically, a student gets an A in the first period, and a D in the second, old system would get a C, that's what we understand. The new system would give that same student a B. So, I mean, to me, it just feels like a lot of colleges are going to put Montgomery County on the list and say, OK, we know they are exaggerating to the upside.
TIMPF: That's what I thought. And I can't believe they're allowed to do this.
BOLTON: Yeah.
TIMPF: It wasn't something people are talking about. How unfair would that be to kids who earned actual A the normal way, it's just this trend of feelings mattering more than facts. Don't want to hurt the kids' feelings, matters more than what they actually got in a class.
BOLTON: Actually, Donald Trump has come out and said the U.S. spends quite a bit on education with lackluster results if you look at OECD, U.S. versus other countries, in the sense that something like a top 15 spending country, yet our results in math and science are something like bottom 40.
TIMPF: Right. Well, the point of grades is to see how kids are actually doing. You can't just change the letter and all of a sudden they know more things.
(CROSSTALK)
BOLTON: I feel that's the same with women's clothes, right?
(CROSSTALK)
TIMPF: Exactly. You're still is the same size, and you're still not good at math regardless of whether you have a different grade on your transcript or not.
BOLTON: All right, Kat Timpf, with me there. Thanks, Kat.
TIMPF: Thank you.
BOLTON: Well, you have heard sanctuary cities, or maybe sanctuary states, Delaware may be the first one.
Also, we're going to have a CEO who is helping U.S. celebrities all the one threatening to move to Canada if Trump wins by hooking them up with single Canadians. We're going to show you more.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BOLTON: You've heard about sanctuary cities, Delaware may become the first sanctuary state if one Democrat has his way. So Senator Bryan Townsend is proposing a bill that would limit what law enforcement could do in the state in terms of detaining illegal immigrants. Senator Brian Pettyjohn is with me now. So, Senator, would this bill give Delaware a pass to, basically, do its own thing?
BRIAN PETTYJOHN, U.S. SENATOR: You know, Deirdre, the bill actually states that no law enforcement officer of our state can stop, search, arrest, detain any person based on an immigration warrant that's entered into the FBI database. So even if we have information that somebody is here illegally and there is an administrative warrant, it would ban our local and our state law enforcement agents from taking that person into custody.
BOLTON: So the Democrats that are proposing the bill says illegals are hesitating to report crimes for fear of police detaining them. So I guess, I'm assuming that is his motivation, that is to say, in his mind it reduces crime. Is that fair?
PETTYJOHN: Yeah, it's.
(CROSSTALK)
BOLTON: Even if wrong isn't fair?
PETTYJOHN: Yeah, well, you know, I don't think you're wrong with that. Is it fair? No, I don't. You know, if you're a victim of a crime, no matter what your immigration status is, you should be contacting law enforcement to have the perpetrator of that crime detained, arrested, and prosecuted for that crime. To be afraid just because of your immigration status, the immigration status of a victim, I think is an unfair statement.
BOLTON: So the bill seems to also push a Delaware driving privilege card which would give illegals a truck driver's license regardless of immigration status, and I assume that has to be of grave concern to law enforcement officials.
PETTYJOHN: Yeah. Actually, the issue was split into two bills. The first has to do with the trust initiative, the detaining of undocumented. The second part of the bill was actually passed, a separate bill, did give the driving privilege cards to any individual who is here illegally and is an undocumented individual. So that has passed, that's into law right now.
BOLTON: OK. Senator, I hope you come back, because I want to talk more about this especially given the track record of so-called sanctuary cities. So we'll reach out. We'll continue the conversation. State Senator Brian Pettyjohn with me there. Thank you, Sir, in the meantime.
PETTYJOHN: Thank you.
BOLTON: The list of celebrities threatening to leave the country if Donald Trump wins the presidency? Well, that list keeps growing. One CEO deciding to even start a dating site which matches single Americans with lovelorn Canadians. He's my guest next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
SCOTT BAIO, ACTOR: I will charter a plane for them and they are more than happy to leave. I don't care. My country is everything to me. But if they want to leave, go. It's OK. I can watch The View without Whoopi Goldberg.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BOLTON: A new dating app is making it easier for celebrities and other anti-Trump Americans who want to leave the U.S. if Donald Trump becomes president. One CEO creating a site that connects anti-Trump Americans with lovelorn Canadians. Maple Match founder Joe Goldman is with me now. Joe, great name, but what made you think this app? I mean, it can't just be five or six celebrities that you built an entire company to service?
JOE GOLDMAN, MAPLE MATCH FOUNDER: Great question, Deirdre. Maple Match came from a lot of things. But ultimately, it just started with an idea to connect Americans and Canadians. And given the current political climate in the United States, I thought now would be the ideal time.
BOLTON: So how many people have signed up?
GOLDMAN: Well, the very latest numbers are more than 25,000 people have signed up for Maple Match right now.
BOLTON: OK. And is that more than you expected?
GOLDMAN: That is far more than I expected. Originally, you know, since you fill a filler, you tried to use some market research and learn more, and ultimately what started out as a market research project and some understanding, and research turned out to be something way bigger than I ever expected. It's exciting.
BOLTON: So how else are you matching people? Are you asking political questions? Do people actually have to fill that out to be matched with somebody?
GOLDMAN: Great question. And right now, we are working with our user community to make sure Maple Match is the best service for them. As of right now, we are not asking political questions for users.
BOLTON: OK. Do you have a stake in the game, that is to say, are you watching who is elected in the U.S.?
GOLDMAN: Obviously, I'm a proud American and I'm watching American news to see about American politics. But ultimately, I'm a Hillary Clinton supporter. But I think whoever wins the presidency, Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders will do a great job as president.
BOLTON: And quickly, have you made any matches, I mean, 25,000? Has anybody gotten back to you?
GOLDMAN: Great question. We haven't made any matches quite yet, but we are excited to do our first one soon.
BOLTON: All right. Thank you very much, Joe Goldman with me there.
(CROSSTALK)
GOLDMAN: Thank you.
BOLTON: Founder of Maple Match. And of course, the clip you saw before that was our interview with Scott Baio. And you heard him say he really doesn't care if any celebrities or all celebrities who are anti-American, as he sees it, leave this country.
A quick check in the markets, as you know, pretty much going nowhere. The NASDAQ took it the worst. GoPro hit a new record low today, below $9 for the first time. Investors continuing to sell shares of the hi-def sports cameras after last week's dismal results. So if you look down, around 90 percent from its all-time high. Thank you very much for joining us here on Risk and Reward. Talk about Making Money, my colleague, Charles Payne, is here. And it starts now.
