DON IMUS, FBN HOST: This is the IMUS IN THE MORNING program. Time now
for a business update from the Fox Business Network. Here's Connell
McShane.CONNELL MCSHANE, FBN CORRESPONDENT: And, here's a live business alert
on the markets. Start you off here 6:00 a.m. eastern time with some big
gains for stocks over in Europe. Look at this on a Monday morning, up 2
percent in London, 2 percent in Paris, and 1-3/4 percent in Germany.
Banking stocks getting a lift after the earnings from BNP Paribas, better
than expected.
Here in the United States, up 1 percent across the board, 112 points
to the up side on Dow futures this morning, as we move on to the month of
august after the Dow gained 7 percent in the month of July. There it is
over the one month -- well, there's the Dow Jones industrial average that
we have showed you. It would have been up 7 percent over the one-month
time spent.
Anyway, BP engineers planning to start the so-called static kill
today. They'll shoot mud and may be cement into the blown out well. Now,
it will make it easier to permanently finish the job within the relief
well. Once the relief well is finished, mud then will be pumped in from
the bottom, permanently plugging the leak and that could happen in about a
week. So, we'll keep an eye on situations down there in the gulf
throughout the day today.
Now, in terms of earnings, we have breaking news in from the health
care company, Humana. It just reported its figure, looks to be
significantly better than expected, over $2 a share and earnings $2.11 per
share. The estimate was only 1.67, so that's a good way to start the week
certainly on the earnings from Humana, much better than expected. Keep an
eye on the stock today 4702 at Friday's close. Now, some other top
stories, Alan Greenspan offering his take on the economy and here's what
the former Federal Reserve Chairman said on NBC's Meet The Press
yesterday.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ALAN GREENSPAN, FORMER FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN: I think we're in a
pause in a recovery -- a modest recovery, but a pause in the modest
recovery feels like quasi-recession.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
MCSHANE: Greenspan says, he doesn't think the economy is strong
enough to create jobs yet, so he predicts that unemployment will stay
somewhere around 9.5 percent for the rest of the year. He also says a
rising stock market will do more to stimulate the economy than any other
stimulus measures that are currently being discussed.
Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner are both speaking today at separate
events. The treasury secretary will be at New York University to discuss,
The next steps for financial reform. The Fed Chairman will be at a
conference in South Carolina. His talk is scheduled to be about Wall
Street reforms included in the financial regulation law.
And, Blackberry service is banned by two middles eastern countries.
The United Arab of Emirates says that Blackberry e-mail, instant messaging,
and web services will be banned starting in October. The issue is how
Research In Motion handles the data. The UAE is worried that -- cannot
force RIM to turn over data sent on its servers even on a National Security
situation. Saudi Arabia also planning to ban Blackberry's instant
messaging service. You see the stock just down slightly the pre-market.
Now, let's take a look at commodities, the oil and the gold price.
Oil is up close to $80 a barrel this morning. At the bottom of the hour,
6:30 eastern time, the I-man's guest will be Bo Dietl. Stay tune for that
and much more as IMUS IN THE MORNING starts on the Fox Business Network.
NEIL CAVUTO, FBN YOUR WORLD HOST: You seem a little prickly this
morning.
IMUS: No, why?
CAVUTO: You're very sensitive. You're just -- everything -- you're
jumping on everyone. Some people offer advice to you and you get, you know
--
IMUS: I want -- I don't --
CAVUTO: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm an icon. I'm Marcodis and all that --
whatever.
IMUS: I don't need any advice. I know what I'm doing.
CAVUTO: Well, listen, Mr. Mt. Olympus, I would like to introduce you
to -- earth!
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: Don't scream at me. Is that the way you go here and scare me -
-
CAVUTO: You are just incorrigible. I mean just lighten up. I mean
people want to offer you advice. You know, accept it.
IMUS: I don't want your advice -- butt out! How does that sound?
(LAUGHING)
CAVUTO: Now, I'm surprised you're high as number five, by the way,
but --
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: We're talking about the all-time list of talk show hosts in
which I was number one as Rush Limbaugh, number 2 is Howard Stern. I
could make a case for either one of them, frankly.
CAVUTO: Yes.
IMUS: Then there's Larry King, I cannot make a case for him and Sean
Hannity. He's a friend of mine, I love Sean -- even Sean would agree that
he doesn't -- that I'm a genius. There is no way that I should be below
Larry King and Sean Hannity. That's insane.
BERNARD MCGUIRK, IMUS SHOW: Now, we just heard from Sean, he is
surprised you are number five.
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: And then Neil I get e-mails from him all day. Why are you
trashing me -- shut up! You were an intern in the Carter White House?
(LAUGHING)
CAVUTO: Yes. I was.
IMUS: And then you worked for PBS?
CAVUTO: Yes. I did.
IMUS: When did you have this epiphany?
CAVUTO: Well, by the way, I was -- I'm flattered though I am. I'm
surprised you are looking at my bio. I looked at yours. The only thing I
like to double check when I look at yours is 1940 dash, and I then I don't
see another year, and so I move on.
(LAUGHING)
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, IMUS IN THE MORNING.
IMUS: I'm still trying to wake up, which probably you're trying to do
too. Man, this is not good. Bo Dietl, Jeff Greenfield, Congressman
Anthony Wiener is coming up this morning. Wiener's guy screaming at Peter
King, right?
MCGUIRK: That's exactly right.
IMUS: I like Anthony Wiener, frankly. So that Wyatt here, but pretty
much a bleeding heart, anyway --
MCGUIRK: But, he's a good guy.
CHARLES MCCORD, IMUS SHOW: A good guy, yes.
IMUS: Yes, he's a good guy.
MCGUIRK: Good personality.
IMUS: Yes. He has all this going for him, so --
MCGUIRK: But he's wrong on this.
IMUS: Huh?
MCGUIRK: But, he's clearly wrong on this issue. He's trying to make
our guy, Pete the king, look bad.
IMUS: Yes. Charles Rangel will be here this morning and so we'll
like the situation.
MCCORD: All right.
IMUS: And, I called Bernie, I was late this morning, but I just said.
I didn't get up, so -- and, I'm on the horses all day yesterday, which is
I'm trying to wear the kids out just for the hell, you know, just take them
on these impossibly long rides up the mountains and stuff and --
(LAUGHING)
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: -- thinking, you know, that -- but, it winds up wearing me out.
They are fine, so the nurse is sick here at the ranch.
MCCORD: The nurse is sick? That's not good.
IMUS: Well, you know what the problem is?
MCCORD: What:
IMUS: Some of them -- Dr. Katz is in good shape. He runs and all
that, so -- but some of them come out there in such horrible shape. They
cannot function. You know, it is between 6 and 7,000 feet altitude.
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: And you know, you -- it's not easy. And they all get sick and
they are detoxifying because they can't have diet coke and all that junk,
so their bodies go into toxic shock, and it is horrible. Anyway, but they
are fine. The doctor is taking care of the nurse. Kids are fine. Let's
go on. I called Bernie.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: And, what's going on he says. Here's the leading news of the
day.
IMUS: OK.
IMUS: Lindsay Lohan is out of prison.
(LAUGHING)
MCGUIRK: Hold the presses.
IMUS: Yes. So, what's going on? The oil is still not leaking,
right, Charles or what?
MCCORD: The oil is still not leaking, and there is some positive
developments, I-man. Quickly, the first step in the eventual permanent
sealing of the well may get underway today according to Thad Allen --
according to Bob Saddles (ph) though of BP it may not get underway until
tomorrow, the so-called static kill, the top kill where they're going to
introduce that drilling mud and cements into the blowout preventer itself
and that will allow them 5-6 days later to complete the well casing in the
relief well, and actually start sealing the thing at the bottom.
And the other good news, the coast guard in New Orleans says crews
were able to finish repairs and stop the flow of natural gas and oil early
last evening from the well head that was damaged when it got struck by the
tow vessel last Tuesday morning --
IMUS: And the boat ran into it, right?
MCCORD: Exactly. So, that is good. That has been sealed up. And,
there is a problem, though, with the dispersants. BP in trouble over the
gulf spill, and a congressional panel taking a close look at how much
dispersant was used.
And Ed Markey saying for example that as far as he's concerned they
were carpet bombing the oil spill, and there's a lot of anger over that.
Anger also, gas station owners that are BP lobbying for a new name. They
want to revert to the name, Amoco, which was purchased by BP back in 1998
to try --
IMUS: Why, Charles?
MCCORD: Well, I don't know why they wouldn't want to be called BP
anymore, I-man. And, flooding in Pakistan, now said maybe to have killed
as many as 3,000 people.
IMUS: Oh God!
MCCORD: According to an independent there -- a rescue service. They
know they have over 1, 200 dead and fear that it could go as high as 3,000
in the swamped mountains in Northwest Pakistan, where of course the area
where they've been trying to fight the Taliban's growing influence in that
area.
IMUS: Maybe, they are trying to drown them.
MCCORD: And, something is going on, I-man, horrible story.
IMUS: That is horrible.
MCCORD: Yes. And, Admiral Mike Mullen Joint Chiefs Chairman saying
the wikileaks documents were already helping the Taliban. The Taliban able
to identify people who have been helping in the, you know, afghans who have
been helping the effort by the coalition. They say they're going to hunt
them down and kill them.
IMUS: Frank Rich wrote a column sort of analogizing -- sort of jury,
yesterday, Bernie and Charles?
MCCORD: Yes, I did as a matter of fact.
MCGUIRK: A little bit.
IMUS: Pentagon papers deal, but I kind of knew the impact. The
Pentagon papers didn't have all that much of an impact.
MCCORD: On policy or strategy, yes.
IMUS: So, I took an informal poll off the air of you guys.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: If anybody watched the -- any of the x-games. I'm the only one
-- I know, I know Warner didn't -- No, do you know about the X-Games,
Warner?
WARNER WOLF, FBN SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR: No.
IMUS: So, there you go. But, I mean is it a big deal? Why aren't we
watching the X-Games, not just Warner, but -- well, I didn't expect them to
watch them.
WOLF: No.
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: But, I just don't -- I don't know. And, then what does it say
about me that I'm watching them?
(LAUGHING)
MCCORD: And, you're the only one.
IMUS: Shaun White on the skateboard. I mean, what is that?
(LAUGHING)
MCCORD: I don't know.
IMUS: But, I got to find something else to do.
WOLF: Yes.
IMUS: People flipping the motorcycles and bicycles in the air.
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: It's cool to watch, though.
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: Did you ever see it?
MCCORD: Yes. I have. Yes, I have. I haven't watched it this time
around -- so far.
IMUS: Warner would watch it if Joe DiMaggio were on it -- flipping a
motorcycle --
(LAUGHING)
WOLF: That's right.
IMUS: I guess. I don't know --
WOLF: Sure!
MCCORD: Joe DiMaggio in a half -- half pipe.
IMUS: It's 11 after the hour. The Yankees just lost to the Devil
Rays. So, I guess tonight they're not going to go away.
WOLF: No. They won one game back, and they took 2 out of 3 and shut
them out. But, I wouldn't call them Devil anymore --
IMUS: Whatever they are.
WOLF: They cut out devil -- The Rays.
IMUS: What are they?
WOLF: The Rays.
IMUS: They're not the type of the Devil Rays?
WOLF: No. They cut out devil.
IMUS: Why did they do that?
WOLF: The negative tone. Get rid of it connotation like the bullets
changed to the Wiz.
IMUS: We understand that.
WOLF: Yes.
IMUS: But, they still call them the New Jersey Devils, don't they?
WOLF: New Jersey, yes.
MCCORD: Yes.
WOLF: Yes, they do.
IMUS: Do they still suck?
(LAUGHING)
WOLF: Well, they get the fans hopes up and then they die in the
playoffs.
IMUS: Sure. Well, then they still suck.
WOLF: Yes.
IMUS: Connell McShane is coming up with the business news this
morning. What's ahead, Connell?
MCSHANE: The market looks great here so far this morning. Starting
off the August trade, we're up 100 points or more than that on Dow futures
already. So, looks like we'll start off the month pretty much like we
ended the last one, which was at the 7 percent gained from the Dow, but the
Dow gained 690 points in month of July.
So, there was data out of China that didn't look very encouraging. It
was kind of weak but so far investors are shrugging that off. I guess
they're thinking that it could have been worse. And, the bank earnings
from Europe have been pretty strong driving the market gains. So, it looks
like we'll open higher this morning.
IMUS: Dagen McDowell coming up with business news as well as Connell.
She was in the infield, she told us at Pocono yesterday. Did you watch
that race, Warner?
WOLF: Oh, man! I was glued to that, the whole time! Come on. I saw
the two crashes -- that was it. Greg Biffle wins.
IMUS: Somebody's engine came out, didn't it?
MCCORD: Yes.
WOLF: Yes. That was sad. Yes.
IMUS: I saw that as well, so -- I don't know how I saw it, but maybe
I saw a replay. It was probably -- it was probably all the stuff - because
I'm on a horse all day, so I don't know. It must have been sports center
that I saw it.
WOLF: Good chance.
IMUS: Ugly situation, though.
WOLF: Yes, and then --
IMUS: You know, there are hundreds of people not there, Warner. Did
you see all empty seats?
WOLF: Yes! Attendance has gone down. TV has gone down. Sure!
IMUS: Did you see -- did you watch it, Charles?
MCCORD: A little bit of it. Yes, I-man. I saw --
IMUS: You did?
MKCCORD: Yes. I saw the crash where the engine came out, in fact.
IMUS: Where are all these people?
MCCORD: I don't know.
WOLF: They're watching the X-Games.
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: I don't know. Well, even you guys are all out of it or I am.
I suspect it's me. It's 14 after the hour. We got a briefing coming up
from Bernard McGuirk, sponsored by PC Richard and Son, 100 years. Here for
you always, got it going on. Honesty, integrity, family. What's going on,
Bernie?
MCGUIRK: Lindsay Lohan is out of jail. She went straight to rehab,
unfortunately for her no 24 hours with the family. They get liquored up
and recharged with the -- she's on -- she supposedly --
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: Why is that phrase funny -- liquored up? Huh?
MCGUIRK: She probably had enough of that in prison. You know, she's
on -- she's addicted to Adderall, which is --
IMUS: What is that?
MCGUIRK: It treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
IMUS: That's what I need, Charles. Isn't it?
MCGUIRK: Yes. I wonder if that's any good.
MCCORD: Can you get on that, I-man?
IMUS: That's absolutely what I need.
(LAUGHING)
MCGUIRK: That and Dilaudid for dental pain. She used to take that
too.
IMUS: Dilaudid?
MCGUIRK: Right.
IMUS: Oh, man! You know, one time when I got bucked off the horse --
well, I nearly died.
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: And -- I guess it's all right to say this. So, I was in the
hospital for almost two weeks.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: So, they let me out to come back to the ranch, you know. And,
I just -- I was really in a mess, I mean my lung collapse and all my ribs
broken, shoulder, collar bone, everything, horrible. So, they gave me --
before, I was in a lot of pain, so Dilaudid is really strong. It may be
the strongest, stronger than OxyContin, I think. So, I said, well you know
we're in Ribera, New Mexico, 120 miles from Albuquerque, 50 miles from
Santa Fe, 25 miles from Las Vegas, Mexico.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: I said, that's going to be difficult for me to get to the drug
store. So, they gave me a prescription for 600 Dilaudid.
(LAUGHING)¼
MCGUIRK: Yes!
IMUS: I took them all, you know -- but not one day, but over the
course of whatever, and when I was pretty much out of them, so I just
stopped taking them.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: Well, about 8 hours later --
MCCORD: Not a good idea?
IMUS: -- I had to get Vicodin to get off of the Dilaudid.
(LAUGHING)
MCCORD: Jesus! Oh, my God!
IMUS: And then finally to get off of the -- I was on Vicodin for a
long time --
(LAUGHING)
LOU RUFINO, IMUS SHOW PROGRAM ENGINEER: Round and round we go.
IMUS: Then I had to taper off the Vicodin.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: And I -- the guys at fan used to bum Vicodin off of me, you
know, various -- I'm sure remain nameless, but --
MCCORD: Not, that's for pain.
RUFINO: Go to the I-man, I got nothing, go to him.
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: And then I -- then I had 500 Vicodin --
MCCORD: I remembered that.
IMUS: -- and they expired, you know. So, I threw them away. A
couple people wanted to kill me.
(LAUGHING)
RUFINO: They'll give you a good deal, man! Back off!
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: Sixteen after the hour. What else is going on, Bernie?
MCGUIRK: Well, Chelsea got married over the weekend, and everybody is
sick of hearing about the wedding. But, just one last time, no big
celebrities showed up. No Oprah. No Obama, but apparently, Madeleine
Albright was the last one on the dance floor until about 3:30 in the
morning.
MCCORD: That's right.
MCGUIRK: But, Ted Danson was the biggest celebrity to show up. You
could see him doing the electric slide and Mary Steenburgen, and Roger
actually showed up. Roger and his son unaccompanied by any females, and
you know you could have bought a couple of 8 balls of blow from that guy.
So, anyway the bridesmaids, they were provided with mace and good time was
had by all. She did not -- Chelsea did not convert, by the way. She --
IMUS: Well, good for her.
MCGUIRK: Right.
IMUS: And, let's just move on.
MCGUIRK: Sure.
IMUS: It's 17 after the hour -- before you get yourself in trouble.
MCGUIRK: Who, me?
IMUS: Seventeen after the here hour here on the IMUS IN THE MORNING
program. Our old friend, Mojo Nixon --
MCCORD: Oh, my God!
IMUS: -- is 53 today, Chuck.
MCCORD: God bless him.
IMUS: I think Mojo was on outlaw country with Fred Imus --
MCCORD: Oh, no!
(LAUGHING)
IMUS: I'm serious. The last time I heard him, he was. Here's one of
his big hits.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
ANNOUNCER: IMUS IN THE MORNING.
IMUS: Are you looking for an investment opportunity, but you're not
sure where to start? Why not get involve in what Ink Magazine has named
one of the fastest growing companies in America?
Planet Fitness is a gym that attracts the average Joe. You don't
need to be a muscle head to work out on one. You don't need to be a muscle
head to buy into one, either. All you need is a desire to turn a quick
profit with a company that knows a secret.
Planet Fitness will set up your gym for you. Develop a marketing
strategy and has a track record of putting up those big numbers. How does
an average of $1.7 million a year in sales sound, huh? How does an average
of $573,000 in profit? Well, loan the extra money that you can make. Sell
a human growth hormones and steroids to your customers, right?
MCCORD: No. No. No. There's none of that.
IMUS: The economy is still shaky, but this company does not. Charles
is going to ruin everything for you. Go to planetfitness.com and find out
what's going on with these people. This is not an offer to sell. Offering
is made by prospectus only, planetfitness.com.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
IMUS: This is the IMUS IN THE MORNING program. Time now for a
business update from the Fox Business Network, here's Connell McShane.
MCSHANE: Here's your latest fox business minute. The shares of HSBC
moving higher in pre-market trading reporting better than expected profit
for the first half of the year. Profit in fact more than doubled, $6.76
billion. Biggest bank in Europe, benefiting from fewer bad loans and other
risky credit.
Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke both speaking today. They'll be
speaking at separate events, the treasury secretary will be at New York
University discussing quote The Next Steps For Financial Reform. The
Fed Chairman will be at a conference in South Carolina. His talk is
scheduled to be about the Wall Street reforms that are included in the new
financial regulation law.
And, two key economic reports that we're watching out for today. One
gauges the health of the manufacturing sector for July. That's the ISM
report, expected to slip to 55. Readings above 50, do indicate an
expanding factory sector. And the second report comes out on construction
spending and may decline a half a percent in June from the previous month.
Both of those reports by the way are out at 10:00 a.m. eastern time this
morning.
Let's take a quick look at these futures. Yet again, strong European
bank earnings, one of the reasons the Dow futures are up 102 points this
morning as IMUS IN THE MORNING continues now on Fox Business.
IMUS: It is 24 after the hour here on the IMUS IN THE MORNING
program. Bo Dietl, Jeff Greenfield, Congressman Anthony Wiener, all coming
up this morning. Congressman Charles Rangel is with us and Mike The
Situation as well.
Dagen McDowell will be doing sports, I mean -- of course, well, she might.
That girl might do anything.
(LAUGHING)
MCCORD: Well, yes. He was at Pocono.
IMUS: Remember those big pots we bought, Charles?
MCCORD: Yes, those huge things.
IMUS: Yes. They weighed 2,500 pounds, and I ran into -- went and saw
Betty Durand down in the Desert Blooms in Albuquerque.
MCCORD: Yes?
IMUS: And, they bought -- I bought a 3,000 pound -- I don't buy this
with ranch money, by the way. In other words, when you contributed money
to the ranch, I'm not spending it on giant pots. I paid for that myself.
MCCORD: Yes.
IMUS: Like you don't pay for the jet, either. You don't pay for any
of that stuff. Anyway -- well, I was thinking, if a couple hundred years
from now -- I don't have a picture of the pot now, but I'll get one
tomorrow for you -- a couple hundred years now people out here digging
around.
MCCORD: Right.
IMUS: And, say all they find is one of these pots.
MCCORD: Right.
IMUS: Man, that's a big --
MCCORD: There's a big people out there.
IMUS: huge people lived out there! Anyway, time for sports. Sports
sponsored by Peerless Boilers, they make American -- what kind of boiler
would those people need? Anyway, 96 percent efficient Peerless PureFire
Series. Here's Warner Wolf. Good morning, Warner.
WOLF: Good morning, I-man. Baseball, the Rays 8 out of 9, shut out
the yanks, 3-0. James Shield, 7 and a third. The Rays take 2 out of 3,
cut at the one. A-Rod, pinch hit and struck out. White Sox and twins win.
The Red Sox, John Papelbon blew a 3-0 lead blown in the top of 9th.
While the Red Sox beat the Tigers 4-3 on the bottom of the night on a
throwing error. Here was Tiger's Manager, Jim Leyland.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JIM LEYLAND, TIGER'S MANAGER: We're just playing good enough to get
beat and that's not good.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WOLF: The D-Backs beat the Mets, 14-1. Adam Laroche, 2 three-run
homers. The Braves lost. The Phillies won. But, Ryan Howard twisted an
ankle, left the game on crutches, and the Phillies used the $16 million man
Roy Oswalt as a pinch hitter to sacrifice. In the late game, Giants Matt
Cain --
IMUS: How did he do?
WOLF: He sacrificed. He did.
IMUS: He did?
WOLF: Yes. Well, using pitchers are pretty good bunters. Yes -- in
the national league. Of course in American League they don't have to.
IMUS: Remember Phil Rizzuto, he was -- Remember that, Warner?
WOLF: He was a great bunter.
IMUS: I know that.
WOLF: How do you know that?
IMUS: Well, because you know he's one of the original investors here
at the Imus Ranch.
WOLF: No.
IMUS: Yes. Bought one of the first 5,000 acres -- I mean he paid
$5,000 for a commemorative acre, so.
RUFINO: Holy cow.
WOLF: Wow!
IMUS: And, I got to know him -- I got to know him through the
meatloaf record.
(LAUGHING)
MCCORD: Yes. Yes. Yes.
IMUS: And then he used to go out to spring training and stuff.
WOLF: Right.
IMUS: Try and teach morons how to bike --
WOLF: That's right. You're absolutely right. Yes. The lost art,
you're right.
IMUS: Apparently, it's not lost now the -- Roy Oswalt. He apparently
figured it out.
WOLF: Yes.
IMUS: You just said he did.
WOLF: Yes, he did. Laid it down, moved the runners up and then they
won the game.
IMUS: That's why you were trying to bad mouth him --
WOLF: No. No. No.
IMUS: It sounded like that to me.
MCCORD: No, it didn't sound like that at all. Come on. It sounds
like you're trying to make difficulty again.
IMUS: It does.
MCCORD: Yes, it does. Twenty-eight minutes after 6:00 eastern time.
IMUS: Warner has no results of the X-Games.
WOLF: No. No. Nor will I ever. NASCAR, Craig Biffle in the Ford,
