bring you that in a couple of minutes. to the the question he of the day, have stocks peaked? simple question. do you think tres knippa come forward and give a straight forward answers? >> i don't know about the straight forward answer, but clearly the market is concerned about rates. interest rates have been ticking up. i've got an awful lot the of contacts in the real estate and mortgage world and can tell you firsthand the mortgage bankers i talked to absolutely have seen a slowing has rates have picked up, a slowing of activity. so for me and my asset allocation, i'm going to take this opportunity to reduce my exposure to real estate because maybe the market is topping out a little bit. if rates are going to pop up. what's odd about this, i'm saying that i think that rates might work higher and the exact same breath i'm going to say that the chance that ben bernanke is going to taper off fed activity in the bond market is zero. he absolutely can't afford to have rates go up, but that
9:30 am
doesn't mean rates can't go up anyway. >> you got to it in the end. if the chances of ben quitting printing are zero, then the markets and stock probably is going up. i think that answers the question. all right, tres. what did he say? i think we lost him. we lost the connection. the dow industrial average has opened higher and they're off and running. the dow is up 12 points in the early going. we're looking for a 50, 60, 70 point gain, maybe more than at that when we get firmly off and running this wednesday morning. first out of the box, i've got news from caterpillar and i'm g going to call this a big company win. hourly wages for current workers frozen for six years and they'll get a lower pay scale for new hires. one thing coming back to the workers in return and that is they're going to give each of them a $4,000 signing bonus. anyway you slice it, you add it

9:32 am
he says that he spends most of his days reviewing the products at every stage. looking at advertising, money making ideas. i mean, he's working on it and believes in the fundamentals of the company, but he see it's up nearly 1%. stuart: i would not be happy if i bought that thing at $38 on day one of the stock and now it's 20, i would not be happy. tell me, google, we talked a lot about google's image under a lot of pressure with the snooping scandals and crony capitalist eric schmidt. tell me about the stock. nicole: they were both up fractionally. here is is a look at google. needham raised their price target on google to an even thousand $1,000 is the new price target based on cash flow analysis. i have to get back to the point. when people are investing they have to know there's risk involved. stuart: are you talking facebook? >> i'm talking facebook, if you bought apple at 600 or $700 for

i respect bill gross, a great manager, in 2011 said get out of treasuries, wrong. and death of equities, wrong. said stocks will be single digits and anybody listening to this will probably go to the poor house. nicole's point, diversified program and-- >> that's a pretty thorough dismissal of bill gross and pimco. nicely done, young man. and the question of the day, have stocks peaked? 15-3 changed for the end of may, all-time high for the dow. is that the peak? >> a tough question, stuart. i don't think so and i don't think so because ben bernanke doesn't have the guts to take his foot off the gas. we've got a taste of what happened when somebody takes their foot off the gas in japan. that's what he fears in the united states. as long as he has that foot down, i say upside. stuart: the dow is 15,231. do you think that's a realization about ben and he
9:35 am
ain't going to quit printing yet? >> i think so. that's what it comes down to. people in the central bank. you can't fight the fed and there's also an emotion and people realizing the train has left the station and came off the march 2009 lows and weren't in the market and now faced with a double-jeopardy problem, they've got to catch up and trying to figure out where to put the money and that's creating a little bit of hysteria. generally, there's an upside bias. stuart: you have no impact from the chaos in washington d.c. all the scandals du jour, here it comes, no impact on the market whatsoever. do you agree with that? >> i do. the public realizes that washington, sadly is a joke and in and of itself. it's the butt of it's own joke. its testimony is the resilience of the american people that they're able to get on about their business, even though washington can't. stuart: all right, keith

fitz-gerald in a not raining portland, oregon. remember that. i've got a big tire deal to tell you about. india's apollo tyres going to buy cooper. i've got to believe that cooper stock is up on that. nicole: it is up. because the offer is a 43% premium to yesterday's close. and as a result, you're seeing the stock up nearly 43%. moments ago it was up 41%. so, you are seeing the big jump on the news of this 2 1/2 billion dollar deal of india's apollo tyres taking over cooper tire. cooper tire and rubber. it's interesting that goodyear tire is up over 3 1/2%. so a lot of action in the tire world. >> we'll take it. thank you very much indeed. have i put your company on death watch? you should be so lucky. take a look at gain stock, straight up it goes. let's bring in rush, with gaming

website polygon. who gave a-- i've he got to admit i put that thing on the death watch. you didn't think much to it. you thought it was going away in three to five year's time. are you sticking with that call? >> absolutely. nothing has changed for this company. essentially, this is still a company that is based in selling video games and video games are going digital. that being said, it's going to be a very big year for them because it's a hardware year and the only play is to buy hardware is in a store. stuart: what do you mean it's a hardware year is? why? >> later this year in the holiday season there's going to be two major consoles one in microsoft and one from sony and the only place people are going to be able to get these is go to a store and game stop is the place to buy video games. stuart: tell me about the rivalry between the microsoft xbox 1 and the sony playstation
9:38 am
4. both want to be the hub for my living room. a big battle. who is going to win? >> it's a good question. from a gamer perspective, people that just want to play games, playstation 4 seems to have an edge, but xbox 1, people who want to watch tv and hang out in the living room and might be more your speed, stuart. >> what do you mean more my speed? >> i don't think you're a gamer. correct me if i'm wrong. stuart: no, i'm not. i guess i'm too old for that. so can they become the entertainment center for a living room as opposed to the desk top or the tv or whatever? >> i think they can. this new xbox is actually going to plug directly into your cable box. a lot of people already have this setup and they're trying to make it easier for people, oh, i have a gaming console that plays movies, plays tv and does everything i need and they're
9:39 am
definitely making it a step in the right direction. >> would you do me a favor and put microsoft on death watch. i own that and we'd love to see that go straight through the roof. are you going to do it. >> i did say three to four years and stick to it. >> that was game stop. thank you very much indeed, russ. we appreciate you you being with us. the liberal hollywood elite at it again. the latest global warming alarmist and from robert redford. >> i'm robert redford, record setting heat and drought, rising sea levels and severe weather like hurricanes, climate change is happening fast. stuart: i thought he looked a bit like mick jagger. and new at 10 we play you more at the ad and how mr. redford thinks that mr. obama can save us from climate change. that's at the top of the hour. to the big board, we were up 110 and now 91 points. a bounceback after the loss. time is money and here is else

9:46 am
stuart: you know as well as i do there are plenty of electric car companies that really are not doing well or bitten the dust. i want you to give me 30 seconds on why green automotive is going to be a winner and make profits. go. >> i think the fact we have been around for six years already indicates that we know what we're doing and doing well. there is a sector where the electric vehicles can succeed and that's a vehicle that goes back to base every night. forget the range anxiety you want to drive from new york to boston. it's about doing regular routes every day, buses, taxies, delivery vehicles and go back every night and can be rehe charged and electricity companies love that and charging when there isn't the peak demand you have in the daytime. doesn't it make so much sense to focus on the vehicles. stuart: it's not bad, not bad add all. you missed something. >> what have i missed? >> the politically correct nature of cities which buy your
9:47 am
electric buses and cities which run taxi organizations which are going to buy your electric taxies. politically correct left which wants to go electric. aren't you? >> not necessarily. stuart: are you exporting your british socialism to the united states of america? is that what you're doing? >> with a passion. we have a technology that works and that technology works, electric technology works very well in vehicles that do regular routes. stuart: what is so special about your technology??3 c1 >> we have more experience in the deployment of electric technology in large platforms than anyone else. we pioneered the use of motors driving each wheel. stuart: that's where you're doing. >> that makes us different. we build our own batteries and we used american components when we put our technology together. so, our battery is an american battery. our motor comes from america. and the traction controller
9:48 am
comes from america. so now you have an american electric vehicle. stuart: and give me a standard price for your standard electric bus. >> the electric bus is going to retail for something like 120 to $140,000 depending on specifications. stuart: how does that compare to diesel. >> 20 to 25% premium, but paying 2 1/2 cents a mile for the distance you travel if you use electricity versus 14 1/2 cents a mile using gas. stuart: how many have you sold? >> we will launch the first bus in november of this year. stuart: who did you sell it to? you haven't sold it. >> it's brand new and comes off the production line in november and launches a big bus show. you will be be able to come along and drive it. now, stop laughing, people. you can't see me driving a bus? okay, you say it's legit for a route. so it comes back to the garage every night. >> yeah. stuart: how long is that route? can you keep it going tore a hundred miles for the day or-- >> it can do more than a hundred
9:49 am
miles and every bus stops at certain points during its route. we're talking just about buses. it's going to stop for the driver to have lunch and pick up passengers, if you want more than a hundred miles on the route, 200, 300 miles you can charge on the points when it stops and you have the facilities today to do fast charging. stuart: why is a brit with an obvious british accent running an all american bus company? >> because we combine together with the opportunity in america to launch the electric bus using the technology that we developed in the u.k. and bringing those two things together works well. stuart: you should come over here and live permanently. >> is that an invitation, thank you very much. stuart: yes, it is. >> absolutely. stuart: thank you for joining us, it's the green automotive company, correct? good luck. >> thank you very much. stuart: and let's see we're at 9:49 eastern time and i'm going to give you the gold report. when stocks have the dow up 70. no change of price of gold.

we'll talk to the radio voice of cincinnati. we're watching a dramatic shift in the image of one of the best-known companies in the world. here is my take on google. they started out with the unofficial motto, don't be evil. and their benign image helped them conquer the world. google has 425 million activity g-mail users. biggest internet company of them all, but that image has taken a few hits recently and in the world of benign, youthful high-tech exuberance, that could be bad. and they say that everyone has been snooping on everyone's e-mail, g-mail. and a privacy brent scott filed suit against google, he doesn't like them scanning his personal e-mails to target ads. and the executive chair eric schmidt was tied in the very
9:56 am
center of president obama's presidential campaign, called a crony capitalism. there you have it, three hits to google's image. they are fighting back and they want the government to admit that google was forced to submit to orders. they say they don't willingly let the government snoop. it's an uphill struggle. an image that's challenged is very hard to restore especially amongst young people who take privacy very, very seriously. i don't see google as evil. i don't see google as threatening. i think they have been caught in what i call a modern realty, which is this, there is no privacy on-line. got it? you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a gat thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age.

10:37 am
sentiment that is emerging for more tax increases? >> we had a couple of disagreements, i vetoed a couple of different bills in the recent assembly, but what i am really proud about, stuart, is in the hoosier state we passed another honestly balanced-budget that maintained our status as the fiscal and the of the country. strong reserves, pay down debt. we passed the largest state tax cut in indian history lowering income tax by 5%, and we want everybody around america to know indiana is open for business. we are cutting red tape. stuart: you have a great record, obviously, small government, low taxes, growth, you have got it. why would they want to raise taxes in that environment?
10:38 am
>> it had to do it in issue in a couple of counties about a tax that had lapsed and an intent to put it back into place and we respectfully disagreed with the way the general assembly had gone about doing that. working its way through the process. what i want you and your viewers to know is there is broad consensus in indiana able to come together around what was the largest state tax cut. where the only state in the country that lowered income tax permanently and we have business tax cuts, financial services ttx cuts into effect in combination with everything we have done in education reform, everything we had done in workforce, it is the reason indiana is receiving notoriety we are receiving. i believe we are unquestionably the best place in the midwest to do business and one of the best places in america. stuart: you are not notorious on

our show. but what is your unemployment rate, what is your growth rate and tell me, do you have a surplus in your state? >> have the largest surplus in the states history when i became governor little while ago. he points to the issue unemployment and indiana 8.5%. it is too high. a quarter million hoosiers out of work. one of the reasons i said to our legislature even though we have a strong balance sheet advancing reform in education and economic freedom for the first midwestern state to go to work, thought it was important we double down on lowering taxes and cutting red tape. less taxes, less relation means more investment and more jobs. stuart: you have got your field laid out, but have you brought in the jobs yet?
10:40 am
you cut taxes, got all of that. have the jobs flowed in? >> indiana growth rate has been stronger than the overwhelming majority of states in this country. we're encouraged by the trends we see but were absolutely determined to tell indiana story around the country and around the world when so many states are demanding what taxes to be raised and by how much we just pass th largest state tax cut in the history of our state. we lowered the income tax. i signed a moratorium on any new state regulation until we do a full scale it back to make indiana more business friendly. all this combined with education reforms and will focus on workfooce. i am determined to make career vocational a priority.
