♪ jump up, jump up, and get down♪ ♪ jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump♪ ♪ everybody yell, jump, jump, jump♪ ♪ imus in the morning >> i am hearing this from both sides, in particular i'm hearing it from a senate democrat, says, look, we've got to just extend the open enrollment, give it a little breathing room here. that sounds to me like an idea that will be a retreat, the first. we did get it right, the enrollment deadline has been extended and it is a first retreat for obamacare. good morning, everyone. you know, it looks like there's more to come. a delay for the entire individual mandate is now being embraced by some leading

democrats. senator rubio, republican, he wants a vote on it. today, the first hearings into the rollout chaos. they've begun. headlines will be made. here is another headline, the tech stock rally resumes. watch out, here comes google, again. and "varney & company" is about to begin. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, whe experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven.

and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.

>> all right. now this, obamacare is now in retreat. the enrollment period has been extended and now from both sides calls for a delay in the whole individual mandate. and we know why. you don't like it, these are the latest poll numbers from fox news. look at this. 60% of voters call the implementation of obamacare, quote, a joke. only 6% describe the president's health care law as wonderful. i'd like to meet that 6%. and now a majority of

americans, 51%, say we should get law out of the way. and despite the president's promises you will not, millions of you, will not be able to keep your plan. listen to what john boehner had to say on this. >> part of the problem is that we've got the whole threat of obamacare continuing hang over our economy like a wet blanket. when you look at the hundreds of thousands of people, i think what you're going to see the end of october, more americans are going to lose their health insurance than are going to sign up at these exchanges. stuart: that's hundreds of thousands, maybe millions much people will be kicked off their plan and now, republican senator marco rubio will be pushing a bill forward to delay the individual mandate in time. that's a very big deal and he's getting some support from the other side of the aisle. four senator democrats, all

calling for a delay. and the president's health care plan, i think, is unravelling. and here is my question. if it's delayed, will they rescind the tax hikes that pay for it? i'm not holding my breath. time is money, back to the theme, the tech rally resumes. 30 seconds, three big headlines. google shares set to open at an all-time high. the horse race stock of the day. find out how high it goes. investor carl icahn sends a letter to tim cook. he wants cook to begin an immediate buyback of shares to spend 150 billion dollars buying at the current price of 525 a share. icahn's got 4 million shares. if the offer is for 5.25 it does not raise the stock price. and a microsoft executive slams the new ipad saying the surface from microsoft is the next best big thing in tech, more storage, more productivity.

a better product altogether says microsoft. the bell coming up next, but first i've got to show you this. halloween is a week away. one father made this costume for his 22 month old daughter, an led costume that makes her looks like a ghostly skeletal figure. sure to be on the hit list. back in a moment. it's a growing trend in business:

>> markets opening very soon. it looks like we're going to open, 30, 40 points higher. scott shellady in chicago. do you see dow 16,000 by the end of the year? bell i've been bullish, that's why we've got qe. you ask the guys around me, what's the best idea? term limits, but basically take the government brakes off of commerce and let us do what we need to do. stuart: love you, scott. love you, love you. thank you very much indeed. we're off and running and the opening bell has rung and we're trading and the dow opened with a trend towards the upside. you know, it really does look like the tech rally is back on track. let's go with google for a start. it touched a new high yesterday. come in, nicole, where did it open today? >> it did click into the green briefly. it moved now into the red and

you're seeing it around the unchanged line. yesterday, it hit 1035. right, was it 1035 yesterday or 1034. stuart: 1035, i think it hit. >> 1035.75. and we're over the $1,000 mark, but not breaking through at least now yet. we'll see. stuart: we've got it, thank you very much indeed. carl icahn, he moves the market and serious money and he wants tim cook, who runs apple, to begin an immediate buyback of shares. he wants him to spend $150 billion. he wants him to buy back the apple stock at 525 per share and the stock is right there at 525. and i'm going to bring liz macdonald in in just a second, but i want to move on to microsoft. one of their executives is blasting apple's ipad and says that the surface 2 is a much better tablet. no surprise there.

he calls the company's apps struggling and light weight. let's get back to apple. we're getting details of this letter that icahn sent to tim cook. he says spend your cash hoard, 150 billion dollar. buy back your own stock, pay 525 per share for it. that's the guts of what he told tim cook, is that right? >> we don't know the dollar amount yet. if it's 150 billion, wow, that would chew up apple's entire cash hoard which it needs to expand in china with the cheaper phones. it needs the cash pile. the issue for apple investors and viewing is this, will icahn's move actually move apple stock higher? tim cook so far has not responded, this comes in advance of their october 28th earnings call. icahn is it still a minority shareholder in apple so we'll probably see, stuart, more letters like this from carl icahn and apple has a record buyback underway.

stuart: apple owns 4.7 million-- 4.7% of the company. stuart: if apple did a whooping buyback, wouldn't that raise the value of icahn's stake? obviously he's being self-serving here, but working on behalf of shareholders? >> yes because when you take more stock out of the market, it raises the earnings per share and that tends to pop it higher. the problem is eating up apple's cash hoard that it needs to expand, right, because it's being dinged for basically upgrading, it can't upgrade the existing products into infinity. people are disappointed by that. the idea is for apple to expand into china and it needs the cash pile to do that. stuart: i find it fascinating that a guy, an individual guy, even though he moves billions of dollars should be going at apple of all people, the world's most valuable company, at least a year ago. liz, stay right there. i've got a lot more stuff for us, seems there's no stopping

this tech rally, what about other sectors, is that a decent place to put your money? industrial america? chambers is here and he's joining us now. we're saying that technology is the only game in town and maybe we're going extreme there. do you see any other areas? we're not going to make some serious money? >> well, i mean, the trouble in trying to make serious money, you can get poor quick. as anybody from tesla can find out. it's trading and not investing. the market is going up, across the board, if you had a good portfolio or solid shares you'd be doing well indeed. you no need to get greedy in the dot-com crash. >> tech stocks are for traders, get in, get out. buy and hold more, that's more for industrial stocks, isn't it? that's what you're saying here? >> well, long-term stocks, if you look at apple which you were talking about know you, fantastic stack right now, but

so was blackberry five or six years ago, nokia. up like a rocket and down like a stick. so you don't know what's going to happen with a company like this in five year's time. ge is probably up-- >> it's not like up like a rocket and down like a stick, it's down like a stone. how long have you been here. [laughter] ford's chief alan mulally says the u.s. fiscal policy will be a risk to the economy in 2014. fiscal policy a risk to the economy in 2014. alan mulally, go liz:n ben bernanke said the same. and gridlock, is that a good thing for the u.s. economy? the u.s. economy has not been creating the jobs it needs for the last couple of years. that's the central issue. and the argument has been undermined and undercut by the

jobs pictures that's been very poor the last couple of years and economy has been very poor. stuart: the ford motor company hit a high of just over $18 a share moments ago and now we've got the chief, alan mulally saying that america's fiscal policy will be a drag on the economy. got any comment on that? >> is it really a policy or lack of policy? is it government or lack of government? if this is what they call a policy i want to know who is coming up with it. it's madness at the moment. and the alleged policy is pretty crazy, but when they can't get to an agreement whether they should pay their bills or not, i think that policy is probably the wrong word. stuart: well, speaking of policy, whichever way you take it, the rollout of obamacare is just clear chaos. house speaker john boehner calling it a wet blanket for the economy. back in, liz. is this -- i think that obamacare the rollout hits small businesses in particular liz: yeah, all net new job creation comes from startups, from small businesses.

since the beginning of the year we've actually lost full-time jobs by creating since january 1 through june 30th, we've created more part-time jobs, so we're net losing full-time jobs in this u.s. economy, stuart. stuart: clem, does the economy take a hit because of this obamacare rollout chaos? >> well, of course it does. but the health care issue i think is misunderstood. you look at california they're already spending 50 billion a year on health care before this happened. so, there's already massive spending. and people are treating it as if it's something new, this spending idea. it's massive, it's just more money on more money. it's vast, vast money spent here. stuart: let's get back to the market. bank of america found liable for having sold defective mortgages. how much are they going to have to pay, clem? last week was j.p. morgan forking over an estimated $14 billion. and then bank of america paying for country-wide's sins, 16

billion i'm calling this a war on bank, how about you? >> it's a tax on banks. the fines are passed onto the consumer, aren't they? these are big chunks of money and for sometimes banks were doing what the government was telling them to do. please rescue this bank and now we're going to fine you 10 billion for doing it. it's political football and more political madness. the banks, american banks are one of the worldclass actors that drive the economy of america and the world and they're rescuing the country, well, maybe from their own things in the first place. >> these two banks, j.p. morgan chase and bank of america have buyers remorse, they wanted that bigger footprint to be big banks by buying washington mutual, countrywide and the like. and you know, they made those decisions back in 2008. stuart: who is going to bail out a small bank in the future? you get loaded with their sins, you're not going to do it

liz: we've seen this the last several decades. when banks fail, i go abouter banks do that, and what do you do if you're getting criticized. stuart: a lighter subject. prices at the mcdonald's dollar menu are going up. they're changing the menu to dollar menu and more and offering items as much as $5. clem, analyze this from a financial perspective, please, not from your menu choices, but is this a hit to mcdonald's or a plus for them? >> well, i mean, there's inflation going on, inthough it's not in the official figures, but it's not just the price going up, but portions going down. and things that you would buy a big packet of for one price, it's not only prices going up, but portions going down and that's inflation that's hidden of course. >> but cheap is chic. and a third of the mcdonald's are buying off the dollar menu

and now the dollar is now $5. they want cheap food on the fly and maybe that move will put a smile back on ronald mcdonald's face because the same-store restaurant sales have been there. >> and thank you, liz. >> sure. stuart: checking the big board we're up 48, we were up 60, but now it's a 49 point gain. and the obamacare train wreck happening now on capitol hill. will we finally start getting answers on this disaster? we'll deal with it after this. ♪

hearing on the obamacare website disaster is underway on capitol hill. congressman griffith stepped out of the hearing, he's part of it and joins us now. congressman, i know the hearings have only just started. are you hearing anything like an mea culpa from the people on the stand putting together the obamacare exchange? >> based on the written testimony it's pretty clear they're saying we're doing our job and we were part of the testing team, qssi and we told the administration what we ought to fix and the vendors what they ought to fix that didn't work in the test and i can't wait to hear what they said they told the administration was actually wrong with the website. and that had to have happened before october 1, but we didn't hear a word about it until a week or so ago. stuart: you're going to get an answer to the question, if you tested it and it failed before the launch, why on earth did you launch on october 1. i'm sure you're going to ask

the question. do you have any idea what the answer might be? >> i know what the answer might be, that the administration had so much political capital based on going forward on october 1, they were willing to throw the dice for the american people or those who need insurance or see what's available. stuart: and what's going on in the hearing, is it contentious? >> it's contentious with the members of the other party they want to talk about things that happened during the bush administration. we obviously want to focus on what's happening now and if it can can't be mixed what we can do to save the american people from the debacle obamacare. stuart: you're a republican from virginia. >> yes, sir. stuart: do you believe that government is capable of doing this kind of thing, managing the health care of an enormous number of americans, a big chunk of america's economy? look, i'll tell you straight, sir, i don't think that government can do it. it's just the wrong vehicle to be doing this kind of thing, but i want to know where you're

coming from? >> well, being a proud virginiaion. my family goes back to the colony days. we all agree with thomas jefferson, the government that governs best governs least. stuart: will you be on the committee when it reviews kathleen sebelius next week? >> yes, we'll follow up. if we don't get answers today, we're sure the secretary will have the questions. what did they know, how much did they know, why didn't they slow it down despite the republican's offer to delay. stuart: you expect a series of hearings today and next week and you're not going to let up and we're going to hear a lot as it rolls out? >> we'll continue to work on this and continue to find out what went wrong, not only with obamacare, but when we anticipate what's going wrong with other parts of obamacare. we were criticized by the democrats because as late as 11 days before the hearing, they were coming in and saying everything is fine and why are you asking questions? everything is fine. we didn't think everything was

fine and we don't think it's fine with obamacare, the total plan, either. >> congressman morgan griffith, a republican of virginia, you've got to get back to the hearing room and we appreciate your time this morning, sir. >> thank you. >> yes, sir. big government, i'm going to say it's crashing and president obama's policies are the reason why. that's an opinion of mine and it's my take next. ♪ don't you come back no more, no more, no more♪ ♪ hit the road jack, don't you come back no more♪ [woman]ask me...

>> stock alert. new high for google. it just touched 1038, backed off a bit now, 1034. okay, where is hollywood now that obamacare is an unmitigated disaster? all of those supporters suddenly quiet. we'll talk to the author of hollywood hipocrits at the top of the hour. plus, fans making threats to pro athletes and sports teams on social media, has facebook, twitter brought an ugliness to american sport? we'll ask a pro football player on this program. and here is my take on government. i think it's crashing and it's taking this whole presidencyth let me explain. since day one, president obama has been all government all the

time, every policy has centered on government action. early on, he told students at a leading university what the individual can't do, what the corporation won't do, the government will do. immediately after that, we've got the stimulus program. nearly a trillion in extra government spending. we had a government bailout. we had intention government imposed regulation. and don't forget all of those extra taxes that the government imposed. and now, obamacare. the biggest government program of them all, and it's just not working, is it? there is a moral here. government doesn't do things well. how on earth did we ever get brow beaten into believing that government would make a good job of running our health care system? we're all going to pay the price for this, including the president. his name is on this disaster. but i am determined to look on the bright side. years from now when we look back at the obama years, the failure of government will be clear.

government did not unite us. government didn't make us prosperous. it simply can't work. at that point when we get there, maybe we'll look at our true heritage, private enterprise, individual liberty, personal responsibility, wouldn't that be great? i live in hope.

stuart: october 24th the obamacare hearings begin and the pressure to delay the whole

thing has reached boiling point. it having got it right yesterday we are on it again today. where are the hollywood celebrities who were gung-ho for obamacare before they saw the rollout disaster? jason investigates. a little like the poster child for pension debt. no big deal, they say. yes it is says the wall street journal when they are here. the federal reserve? never heard of it says the man on the street. oh yes, it is a very big deal says john stossel, too big and powerful and messing with us all. he is here. death threats to that leads by social media? maybe just part of modern life. and nfl player is here with that. this is the all new second hour of "varney and company". we are half hour into the trading session, dow jones average standout 15,468, up 54

points. let me give you three big names, google, the high yesterday was 1034. it went to a new high, there you have it, that from that, can, although late. 1040, any advance. move on to amazon, they are back a little bit. i of their high but 328. facebook stock not too far, 54 and changes the high, 5222 now and then we bring you to netflix. more subscribers than hbo? our next guest says sell this thing. oh oh oh. jeff is the founder of wealth management. you are the guy in the wall street journal when netflix was

at 60, did you go out and buy it? now 330 or whatever it is, you say sell it. charles: amazing how much the psychology changed with netflix. now betty has a fear of missing out and we have this stock is trading at 400 times earnings, hundred times earnings, ninety-five times forward earnings and around 400% in 52 weeks. when you have a stock run that much we have to listen to read hastings. this was a breath of fresh air. read hastings says my stock is up because of the momentum, we did not hear a ceo a safe and he is telling the truth. stuart: i would imagine netflix will pull back. at that point would you think maybe not a bad idea to put money in and hold it because netflix is the king of global

streaming. streaming is the form of entertainment that is going gangbusters. >> netflix is the brilliant company. in every way a brilliant company that has fallen victim to the momentum investors. they own entertainment and entertainment content is king. they own contact with house of cards, the new oranges, everything they are working on they own the entertainment industry. we are going to see more netflix in the future but when we have this momentum behind it, you can't disregard valuation, can't disregard reality. there is reality. stuart: you are pouring cold water all over the premise of this show and several shows like it, technology is leading the market higher and you say sell it. we will move on. twitter goes public nov. fifteenth. you say twitter has a real problem with what?

patent ownership? >> twitter is another company that is revolutionary in culture. the problem with patents, they have a very radical opinion. they believe they don't need them. they believe they want to have this open environment and don't need patents. as a result any employee, anybody that has any inside knowledge of what is going on with twitter could easily take technology somewhere else and compete. that will be a concern to shareholders because patents are valuable and the ones they do have their using in a defensive manner. they are not aggressively pursuing patents like apple and ibm in the past. they are very loose with it. they are inviting competition. stuart: is there any technology stock which you really like? and stop pouring cold water rollover varney? >> i happen to like amazon. i think amazon does have a

little bit of momentum. we have so many momentum players in this game. such a fear of missing out, everybody piling on to the stocks because they're afraid of not owning them when they hit the next p. google above $1,000 is a brilliant company but let's face reality. there comes a point they are too expensive. stuart: e.u. point. >> remember 1999. stuart: that is a good question. are we? >> there is have and have nots in technology. you have google, apple, netflix and everybody else and especially since there in the indexes, a tremendous run up in prices. we could see some semblance of 1999 type collapse but the difference is these are real companies. only on momentum. stuart: you are free and open.

good stuff, we thank you for joining us. let's get to the industrial side of a market. i am talking ford motor co.. the stock moved above 18 this morning and alan malawi took out a headline. >> he is staying with the company. there was talk about him leaving heading to microsoft saying he is going to stay with the company and call this one ahead. united the $18 mark, 8 dino 2 is the highest level since january of 2011 doing well with ford focus so with the f series truck doing well abroad and raising global outlook picture going forward so so far so great for ford. stuart: they tried to sell me an f 150 on 48th street, tried to sell me a couple other cars. i didn't jump at the manned by them but we give some nice pr

commercial. >> that is how major role, bring it to you and hope you buy it. no discount was offered. thank you very much. back to reality, hearings on the obamacare website disaster are under way. a company responsible for building the broken website testifying before congress. they say no amount of testing could have prevented the problems. this is strengthening the case for an extension of the open enrollment period land at the late for the entire system, certainly the individual mandate. we have four senate democrats, jean cheri team of new hampshire, marc prior arkansas, joe mansion, was redeemed, mark baggage, all alaska, joining republicans, they want a 1-year delay in the individual mandate. >> that is what the shutdown was about. we are not going to do it as soon as we saw the rollout i am beginning to think people are

going to look again at ted cruz and wonder if staking out ground against obamacare might not have been as crazy as it sounded at the time. stuart: maybe can say i told you so. hollywood obama zombies talked up the health-care law, hollywood celebrities love obamacare. lady gaga and several others apparently coming out in support of the law or at least they did. even the satire website funny or die is getting in on the action. >> i am the one with the scandal that needs to be fixed. my company's health care doesn't cover mammograms. stuart: where are the where are

her stuart: -- >> they not going anywhere. stuart: when they are still in there. stuart: they concede this disaster unfold. it is considered a disaster by everybody, it is hurting everybody and yet hollywood is still gung-ho for it? >> they are gung-ho for this

white house, remember, obamacare's financial viability rests on millions of young people who are young enough like me to be forced to sign up and therefore spread the cost to subsidize those who are older and sicker. the white house, everyone has to concede that it has been a disaster they need the pr push from their allies in hollywood. stuart: they desperately need young healthy people like yourself. you got to sign up for this and if you don't sign up for this you mess up the entire system. they need young healthy people paying in. do you think they will get it? >> there may be obama zombies to see a 404 error message to think it is part of the health care plan. it is not part of the health care plan. it is an error message. they get millions of americans -- they are not -- what young person will call an 800 number only to stay on hold 45 minutes or longer to get directed back

to a website that doesn't work? these people are communicating a of the attention span of the 140 characters or less on twitter. stuart: hold on a second. i will run an ad for obamacare that features a keg. look at this. you got a full screen? i can read it from here but they are using a keg party, don't spend your money on beer, your money on obamacare. got insurance. what do you make of that? >> it is and obama navigator in colorado who put this together to encourage young people don't worry, you can be injuring can don't have to spend your money on alcohol and beer or use your money on health care. >> that show breaking bad about the method dealer, he wasn't able -- just canceled that, he was killed law, bad.

they could have incorporated obamacare somehow, maybe he had a preexisting condition. >> if breaking that did not end walter white could have signed up. he wouldn't have been in a position of having to cook and sew and ruin his entire life. stuart: got to get back to reality and you, you are young, in your 30s. >> i just turned the big 3-0 which means i am 50 years younger than you. stuart: easy. people like you are in touch with people like you all the time. what is their opinion of obamacare? >> those who were eager to sign up at a bunch of friends who have gone and tried to navigate this program and see the sticker shock with them losing their

insurance or premiums being jack hiatt to cover these mandated benefits they wouldn't have otherwise got. it is a golden opportunity for the republican party and we discussed this many times, a clear disadvantage with young people to go ahead and talk about how distinct this functional big government is, this is a textbook example of government is incompetent compared to the private sector. stuart: this young man agrees. very good stuff. get out and spread the word. it is the reality of the obama economy, the new normal. the fed going to keep on printing trillions upon trillions and janet yellen will not stop it because john stosssl is not happy about this. here he comes. he will wheelbarrow full of money, not real, presumably, not when i am around. watch out. you don't want to show it to me. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals:

help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, whe experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.
