>> not for sure i like that movie. i'd rather heard the bells peeling in london. we haven't heard the name of the new prince. smart money is george, it's a favorite in poddy power in london. and you'll see him during the show if he appears. a minute from the opening bell, here he is in chicago, larry levin. a record close. it looks like we'll be higher opening today. what is this a series of records? >> it is a series of records, almost like a broken record i guess you'd have to say. 1700 is in play in the s&p and and it will be interesting to see if people sell at 1700 and my guess most will ride the trend and buy at 1700 and we'll see that price today. i know you're a hot shot trader there in chicago, bring it down
9:30 am
a notch or two. i don't think they're taking advantage of this, am i wrong? >> if they've got a 401(k), then it's come back a little bit since 2008. no, if they made a ton of money, most are probably looking for jobs and not worried about the stock portfolio as much and that's a big part why people aren't involved right now. >> you're right, it's an issue. thank you very much indeed. the bell has rung, the trading has begun. slightly to the upside. now we're up 24 points looking for a gain of 40 or 50 when we finally get completely going here. 15572 as of now. netflix, its disappointed its investors and i think the stock has opened sharply lower, tell me, nicole. >> it's to the down side. and you've got to take this in perspective. okay? they've got some growth. at midpoint of the range and s,
9:31 am
they've disappointed some analys analysts. and all are raising targets because their profit is on the rise and they continue to add subscribers, they're not losing is your describers. stuart: yeah, 600,000 people paying $8 a month as far as the high can see, that's a revenue scream. if i'm not mistaken. and thank you. two more big names reporting profits this morning, better than expected profits at dupont. shares are up this year and look at that, that is a huge stock that's up 5% and that's a big gain. ups reported lower profits. especially on international routes and that stock is up 19% this year and it's virtually flat this morning an at 87.88. nicole, travelers is moving, which way? >> it's down 1.3%.
9:32 am
it had been up earlier. and the numbers and the profit estimates will beat. they beat the estimates for profit so that was good news for them and they had price increases, lower catastrophe costs to deal with and a resolution of tax and legal issues and made it through that. so, it was looking higher, but it's pulling back, down 1.3% for this dow component. >> let's look at the big board for a second and we crossed 15,600, 55 points higher. 15,601 this tuesday morning. and president obama making a campaign style push to focus on the economy, starts tomorrow. he's going to call for more spending. let's bring in a former reagan economics advisor, art laffer. let's suppose he gets his way, on education, pre-school, manufacturing, will it work? >> of course it won't. a poor person can't spend
9:33 am
himself into wealth or prosperity and the government doesn't create sources it redistributes them. every dollar done, caused damage to the economy. and the reason we had the great recession is because of the stimulus spending and fra ink -- frankly, the faster and further down it goes the better off the u.s. economy it will be. i heard the reports we grew 1 in in1 .8%. >> he's raised taxes in the last year or two on productive factors, you can't tax an economy into prosperity and you've got all of this going on in the poorly constructed renovation. we have the single worst recovery you know, stuart, in the history of the united states and as far below the next worse as the next worse is
9:34 am
below the best. it's a terrible economy and also in gdp as you mentioned, it's not better and continually trying the same old mistaken policies. >> i want your thoughts on what pope francis had to say about young people and work. >> he said that personal dignity comes from working, made a big point of saying that on the trip to brazil. i said earlier, that reminds me of ronald reagan? >> no one is proud of living on handouts. you know, to get self-esteem and bride. you need a high paying job. and john f. kennedy said the best form of welfare is a high paying job. t and he's completely correct and i wish he'd come to the u.s. and tell obama that as well. stuart: there's a moral component to work, isn't there? >> a huge moral component.
9:35 am
you feel great when you've done a good job. whether it's mowing the lawn or writing a paper. very gratifying and fulfilling and you make some money and that's not bad either, but when they take away the monetary incentive from the process, you don't have the jobs for young people and you have a catastrophic situation in the u.s. which will last. the damage done will last for generations literally. these young people who have not had jobs for three or four years become unemployable. after being unemployable for three or four years, they become hostile and then you have to spend a fortune trying to protect yourself from them and that's not the way to run a country. it's just plain not. we need enterprise zones and a low rate flat tax and get the heck out of the way and let the economy cure itself. i'm tempted to give you the show, but-- >> thanks very much. stuart: hook eke eke eke ehoo kr

to target conservatives. new at 10, a democrat responds to what i'm calling this bombshell. plus the top technology guy at nasa is printing rocket parts for the 3-d printer, what? and he wants to print a whole rocket? he's here. and if you listen to our own charles payne on this program yesterday you would have made a lot of money. he takes a victory lap and more stock picks for us as well. ryan braun, baseball player, milwaukee brewers, used dope, lied about it, now admits it, disgraced, done for the season. here is my take. ryan braun is the lance arm strong of baseball. he reached the pinnacle of success while juiced up. remember the brewers playoff series with the diamondbacks, he batted .500. he was king of the hill. he got off a doping charge on a
9:54 am
technicality. and when you think about it, modern athletes are faced with a choice, honesty versus winning. honest, level playing field competition versus guys with an edge who win big money. in a variety of sports, athletes are choosing a dishonest edge. my point is the fall is worse than the win. braun has been branded a liar, lost a fortune in future endorsements, reviled by his teammates, his baseball record ruined. he has $150 million contract at least for now. really, is it worth it? there are some who say that all that money is worth anything. do what it takes to win and go for the money, i am not in that champ. at the end of the day you have to look at yourself and more importantly, look at your family and answer to this em the rest of your life. coming back from that will surely be a greater test of character and the challenge
9:55 am
will go on, it will never end, in the modern era, it's huge and the doping enablers will always be present. up and comers will always face the question, should i be honest or go for the dishonest edge? here is my answer, the rewards of honesty will always be better than the quake return on cheating. what do you think, give us your responses on twitter and we'll read your responses an hour from now. ♪

10:03 am
calculators. stuart: that stops people from getting a smart phone. we are digressing. seriously we have new developments in the irs scandal. irs chief counsel, a political appointee, william wilkins met with president obama at the white house two days before he gave the order to target conservative groups according to the daily caller. this brings the scandal from the president's doorstep to inside whitehouse. a democrat joins us for more. welcome to the program. >> thanks for having me. stuart: i am calling this the bombshell because this is straight up the food chain, jumps out of the irs and links directly to the white house. this is what a lot of people have been checking for. sure you regard this as a very serious development. >> yes and no. number one, because i am a democrat i am not a pro obama fan. it definitely makes his statement that he didn't know
10:04 am
anything a little suspect, but that being said we don't know what necessarily was discussed at the meeting. he was the top irs person. that does not mean a directly targeted or discussed targeting the irs or the tea party in that meeting. although where there's smoke there's fire. stuart: understood. the man is a lawyer and therefore i presume there is some degree of legal privilege. you don't know what he said to the president or the president said to him. that is a privileged conversation. that is the out here but it sure looks bad because there is the suspicion that the machinery of government, the most powerful institution in the land was used to assignments and shut up the president's principal opponents in the middle of a presidential election. it does look bad, doesn't it? >> well, yes. and also particular need because this is a president who was so proud to say he was going to
10:05 am
have the most transparent administration ever and we haven't seen that. scandal laughter scandal, you don't want to call it a scandal we can call it questionable behavior after questionable behavior and here is another thing where we are concerned and there is evidence of possible discussions or knowledge. i am not saying the president has done anything wrong. it is suspect like you said and the american people have a right to know. stuart: you are a democrat. you favor -- i don't want to put labels on you but you favor the left and you argue from the left can you look at issues from the left. i am picking up that you are disenchanted with what is going on with this irs issue. is it enough to make you turn away from the administration and start questioning the administration? what really are they up to? is it enough to make you turn away and back of your support? >> i am also a democrat who did
10:06 am
not vote for president obama the second time around. that is partly because of his lack of transparency or mostly because of it. the drone program, the nsa scandal, whatever you want to call it. the tea party thing. these are issues that may be under a different administration we wouldn't be so questionable but this is a president who attacked george bush's failure to be transparent and so why would you make that campaign issue when you are not going to live up to it. it is very disappointing. stuart: thus buying, the intimidation, the targeting of conservatives. did you think that was enough to make young people start to question? those are issues of great importance to young people especially the spying, enough to make young people think twice about their adherence to the left?
10:07 am
>> no. what it makes young people do is question the government in its entirety. there are hearings we should be paying attention to, we should be reading transcripts. the private court, all of these are things, public officials know about or should know about and so we are paying government officials to do a job i don't think they are doing. they are busy fighting over the issues. john boehner is equally guilty, darrell issa is equally guilty of not really understanding or talking to people about other issues. stuart: camera holder joining us from chicago, thank you for being with us. got to get to nicole petallides to do punt. the big mover of the day. >> dow component of free%, hitting a new high, strategic

10:09 am
themselves into issues when it is the best time for them and they are not necessarily out there every single day. i am not saying celebrities can't be involved in politics or can't support a celebrity, that be consistent. you can talk of a sudden inject yourself when it is the right time to sell people magazine or whatever. stuart: the support from celebrities has been a key part of the president's appeal, it worked. i am wondering if it is going to continue to work in a way that it has and your answer is maybe not. have i got that right? >> maybe not because he is not going to run again for election. he is so lame duck. here is the thing. you have people like the old man who supported mitt romney. what was his name? he is beyond my time.
10:10 am
obama, who has j z and beyonce. celebrities provide appeal to the young bass and that is whaa future presidents and politicians need to understand and expect but when you are all lame duck the support goes away. stuart: we hear you. one more time, thank you for joining us from chicago, much appreciated. >> sorry for getting. charles: you will hear from him later, don't worry about it. stuart: you will be talking to an empty chair. mcdonald's stock down again today. the obvious question, down big e yesterday, down again today, this is stock we are talking about. are people making healthier choices? is that hurting the bottom line at mcdonald's? very good question because mcdonald's is a big-name stock and we are on it after this.

and i will be there. six months later we find out if it succeeds but hold casual segment is developing very nicely. everybody in the restaurant industry high and low is looking at that. the beauty is their focus is on the food, tasty food, fresh food prepared the way i like it, high-quality food. attributes similar to the casual dining segment yet half the price of casual dining. i would say are fast casual is benefiting from the casual powered more than from the fast part. stuart: defined things. fast casual, that is to pull the, power and arab bread, average check size is $8 or something like that. casual -- you are sitting down with a tablecloth and paying $15, $20 ahead. >> exactly. the average dinner check for a person at a fast casualness of dollars and $0.50 a you're getting what you want, healthy food, tasty food prepared the way i like and casual dining restaurant which you also get
10:19 am
the food you like you are paying twice that. stuart: your point is we are collectively using restaurants wes than less than we used to t ago. it is the market share battle. who is winning today? stuart: if the economy ever comes back, 6% growth, you will see an explosion i presume in all categories of eating out. you say that? >> i would agree. this country does not want to quote. the reason you use a restaurant is i don't want to cook. doesn't change what is good times or bad times you don't want to quote more of the. we are waiting for the restaurant meal to pick up, restaurant meal costs 3 times the cost of making it inside the house. we are looking for can i feel wealthier to go out? stuart: disposable income,
