range. i don't like it. the feds are clearing a hurdle to allow you to use your cellphone on planes. i have a rant about that at the end of the hour. stay tuned. let's go to chicago and bring in their 11 -- larrylevin. you cannot mention the fed. scott kennedy tried this, failed miserably. you try it. >> free easy. no problem at all. down three days in a row, very rare to be done four days in a

row. stuart: is this modest correction we saw this week over? >> for short-lived is over but there will be lower prices if not next week then certainly january we will test lower than we are now. stuart: still looking at 17,000 next year? >> absolutely. i know i am not allowed to say it but someone will do something about it. those people will face quite a bit if they have to. stuart: you won unchallenged. that was very good, larry. we are up and running and we are ever so slightly higher. we are a a points but look at that level, 57. watch out sam's club, costco, amazon, launching a new business that will sell things like cleaning supplies, for pet food amazon prime members selling in bulk. mike robinson joined us from san francisco. the stock is up again today,

385. i am saying amazon is the most interesting company in the world, the most innovative. what say you? >> i have to say jeff besos is one of the best innovators of all time, constantly looking to a cell, crossland brilliant at logistics' and this shows how good they are at top-selling and logistics involved in making money and the ecommerce business. stuart: you said apple would go to $1,000 a share. >> i knew this would come up. stuart: when you are a big hit with shareholders. how about amazon? it had a fantastic run. 8 run $5 billion in operating

cash flow so eventually when the bill out ends it falls to the bottom line and i think for the long term i would be bullish on amazon. stuart: stay right there and i will get back to you on another subject. adobe, good numbers for the clout business. a lot of people signing a. what is the cloud business? the clock is where you can store photos, digital documents. for adobe you can download the company's software like photoshop. taken up on your personal computer. the stock is up 10%. that is a rally and a half and we will talk to the top financial guy in the next hour. big-name you know, ford, 11,000 jobs next year, rolling out 23 new vehicles. why is the stock only at $0.13? nicole: do people not understand this could be great for ford? they want to see what the vehicles are about?

it seems like a wild card a little bit. how much lacoste? alan mulally, he wants to leave with the major legacy. this is the biggest rollout in the 110 year history of ford so talk about 23 new models, 11,000 workers to be hired, 5,000 in new york, 6,000 in asia. stuart: ford stock only at $0.13 on that. back to you shortly. bring back mike robinson. looks like a modest bounce today up 21 points as we speak. i want to know when we will go back to those winning ways. tell me. when will we hit 17,000 on the dow? >> next year for sure. looking for a big year. the economy underlying has a lot of strength. look at the real economy, lumber sales up, prices up in lumber, cars selling like crazy, looking

at 16.5 million run rate in automobiles, the underlying economy wants to get healthy. the average car is 11 years old, people got to buy new cars and that will help the tech ecosystem and the market. stuart: you save the economy is strong enough to withstand less money printing by janet yellen and the market will go on as a reflection of the economy, not printing money? >> absolutely. there could be short-term a slight correction, modest decline. we are caught in the excess reserves trap. they are putting money in the banks but it is not getting into the economy. the velocity of money has slowed down. one of the problems the fed has, can't do much about it. the underlying economy is helping itself. america's economy if left alone is the best, most healthy, self correcting economy ever in the history of the world. stuart: it is not being left to

itself, is it? >> it is not. politicians love to tinker with things. stuart: it is the major theme on this program. thank you for joining us yet again. we will revisit the prediction on apple stock. back to amazon. it is an innovator, the most innovative company in the world, clear leader in online retailing and the lot else. the ceo of apple metro is with us. you own and run 40 applebys, the except my principle that amazon is the most interesting company in the world and the most innovative? >> i do and i don't. they're certainly interesting. the flip side of the coin is they are the most he are sensitive, most pr pieces, i don't know how jeff bezos does that. stuart: he goes on 60 minutes,

this claim that he will deliver stuff. >> reality has to set in because do we see drones flying all over? ups wants them and i want to deliver hamburgers by drone. stuart: what financial reality do you see hitting amazon? >> at some point investors will want to see there are 0 of i.t.. the tech bubble when everybody was just buying and no relationship between the r o i return on investment and the investment. amazon is not having the big returns at this point so i might take a contrarian view to what you say. innovative without a doubt but at some point the cows have to come home. stuart: the return on the investment, you are right, they don't have returned because they keep reinvesting every dime they make goes right back into what they are doing. the market like that.

>> the other part of that, if we do have a dip in the economy, the affordable health care act does take a bigger chunk out of the economy, out of the cash flow of the economy and direct exclusively to health care the million-square-foot warehouses they are building all over the country it is a great story, quicker delivery, quicker response time to help the consumer but if they start having read it you got to pay the mortgage, still got to pay fixed overhead you are putting in place. one thing to be on the internet and not build a brick and mortar. innovative is both. they got to build a brick and mortar, warehouses at every conceivable light and known to mankind but they have to pay for it. stuart: all our viewers are looking for the next apple. the stock that goes to the moon to a secure retirement and your

point, cold water all over it. >> i am realistic. i just flip hamburgers. i am on some outside boards, oil-field services. what i see is the consumer on the ground. we do 300,000 meals a week. from the guy that has to buy that stuff, i feel and hurting, i hear him talking, for example the expiration of the withholding tax, and 2%. let's run that number. a guy making $35,000 a year is only 2%, but at $700 for someone making $35,000 a year, at the end of the year he doesn't feel it the first week or the second week or the first quarter. first half. what is happening is there is a softening of the economy. we saw it starting three weeks ago. we were going one direction just like this. all of a sudden it started

flattening and now it is starting to go down a little bit. the issue is all these things cumulatively add up. what happens next year with affordable health care when people have to reach into their pocket? they were going to buy something on amazon but instead they give it to the government. stuart: when you are putting cold water on just about everything. >> trying to be a realist. stuart: you are a valued guest and appreciate you being with us. back to nicole petallides. twitter, another new high. nicole: another new high for twitter, up 45% this month in december. right now it is up 2%, 56-43. i know it keeps changing. i have been standing here a few seconds. $56.69, a big crowd behind me for nimble which is a california

company. ipo today looking higher. it is a california storage company so there's a big crowd. stuart: a pretty good year for ipos generally. to the big board as we suggest, very modest bounce and that is all it is, 15-7 is your level on the dow. the obamacare train wreck rules on. kathleen sebelius forcing health insurers to allow coverage even if people haven't paid yet. some would say that is lawlessness. up next the doctor who is suing over obamacare and the administration hasn't ignored his case. he is with us.

stuart: immodest balance, 300 points on the week and we are up 9 this friday morning. the price of gold has been weighed down. now it is up $7, $12.32 this morning, restoration hardware, the cozy e o quick, joining lucky brand. investors don't like him quitting, it is down 4.5%. an update on a tour brought you last month, orthodontist sued the government claiming a 1-year delay of the employer mandate was illegal and costing him money. the government didn't taken seriously or even bothered to respond to his lawsuit. all right, doctor, judge andrew napolitano, charles kuralthammer saying this administration is lawless. you would agree with that.

i want to know if they ignore your lawsuit what are you going to do now? >> they ignored our lawsuit up until this previous monday, three days after the deadline for four defendant pled to ha responded which was december 6th, waited until december 9th to respond, more of the same, the signature of the reputation of this administration is incompetent. in the process of us examining whether or not they broke the law they disrespected the law by ignoring deadline but it is not our objective to capitalize on their default. our objective is to move forward and bring opposition to the ridiculous assertions that we lack standing to bring our case which we do. stuart: they did respond on monday of this week, they did respond. was there a response not that this issue has no standing in this court? >> the response was irrelevant to what our complaint was.

let me back. to bring a case in front of a federal judge you need standing or show injury. we wrote a complaint, the response had nothing to do with our complaint suggesting i was complaining as a taxpayer. that is not the nature of my injury. the nature of my injuries at law-abiding citizen i had my business vetted by attorneys to make sure we were in compliance with the law even though i didn't agree with the law and a few months later the president decided to move the goalposts and in doing so was saying any money you spend on attorneys you wasted, go ahead and spend it again and he did that not by executive order but by tweet so theoretically everytime he tweets i am supposed to jump and call my lawyers and make sure my business is in compliance with his tweets. stuart: when it occurs to me they have been you. you are going to lose a lot of money on lawyers. you can't take this thing

forward and you probably will not -- certainly won't be able to get this delay of the employer mandate rivers to. you have lost. >> i would bet the farm on that. we are doing pretty well. the response was surprisingly weak and they can expect pursue in a response from us so the judge can make a decision whether we have standing. liberty university case, west virginia state univ. cases have been dismissed. we feel our standing is and remains stronger than either of those cases. we remain confident we will have standing in front of a federal judge. stuart: who is funding this effort? where's the money coming from? >> judicial watch is representing in funding legal fees and doing a great job. we have a great team of attorneys many of whom were involved with the clinton impeachment. i couldn't ask for more. i am pleased with what they are doing. stuart: let's give us an update where the standing is. >> thank you for having me.

stuart: got to let you talk on your cellphone on a plane. they are a thinking about it. i hate that idea. don't do it please. i will tell you why in my next my take after this. so ally bank has a raise your rate cd

that wothat's correct.a rate. cause i'm really nervous about getting trapped. why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

stuart: take a look at yahoo!. the stock has hit 40, up 97% this year. not bent. adobe a disappointing forecast but good numbers with cloud business. we will talk to their chief financial guy, up 10%. what music, christmas music do you listen to in your home? in our next hour of music producer joins us to explain why the classics, sinatra, nat king cole, they are still favorites. the news museum cashing in on the in darman phenomena in.

the government is asking for public comment on phone calls on planes. i don't want this and i don't think you do either. us survey of frequent-flier found 78% against it. the problem is very simple. there is always going to be at least one idiot on every flight who thinks there call should be heard by everyone else. a loud voice issues orders. that is the caller who is trying to look like the boss. i am in charge. then there is the public gossip. he said to me and so i said to her, that is mindless chatter that goes out three rose forward and four rose back and the overworked expression i love you or love you too. save it, by all means but i don't want or need to hear it. this grant is not over. i fly lot and i like to sleep. i can't count how many times i have been woken up by someone

slamming the overhead bin are making loud comments about the movie they are watching. less than not want is to be welcomed by someone else's phone call. as you can tell diane getting a little worked up here. i am sure someone less stable than i would get into a fist fight. southwest airlines said it ok to texting on airplanes. that is fine. so is the maleing, watch a movie, fine with me. the bottom line is don't force your malaise on me. you have absolutely no right to include me in your conversation. one last point. i have personal experience with the downside of phone calls. last year right before takeoff a loud voice informed the rest of the cabin fox news is on board. that stuart varney. hostility was obvious. wouldn't you know it, a was heading for california.

an interesting flight. it's not the "limit the cash i earnvery month" card. it's not the "i only earn decent rewards at the gas station" card. it's the no-games, no-signing up, everyday-rewarding, kung-fu-fighting, silver-lightning-in-a-bottle, bringing-home-the-bacon cash back card. this is the quicksilver card from capital one. unlimited 1.5% cash back on eve purchase, everywhere, every single day. so ask yourself, what's in your wallet?

>> it is friday, and to end a bad week, stocks have now just turned a little bit lower, but obamacare continues to struggle and they're kind of making it up as they go along. jason mattera is here. how will young invincibles respond to the obamacare wrap aimed right at them. and affluenza becomes a

disgrace. the ron burgundy rolls on and he's in a museum. this is jennifer lawrence before and after photo shop from adobe. their top financial guy is here and his stock is way up today and it's got nothing to do with jennifer lawrence, believe me. we bring you christmas music the way you like it, from bing and frank. why the new tunes do not sell. ♪ this may seem like a moral and legal story, but it's not. there's an element of finance here, a new term for you, i'm sure you heard it already, affluenza, the defense a lawyer for a 16-year-old boy used in court after killing four people while driving drunk. affluenza, he didn't know better because he was rich.

the teen gotten years probation and time at a fancy rehab clinic in california at $450,000 for the year. we asked you what you think of affluenza. here are some of your responses. janet said, the parents as well as the 16-year-old should all spend some time in confinement. candace said this, the most ridiculous defense and the judge should be removed from the bench, four people dead due to the actions of this teenager, he needs to be in jail. from jean, money and privilege should not be a factor that allows anyone to get away with murder. charles and monica are here, this is all about the rich buying themselves what passes for justice, i guess. monica, the left is going to season this, and they are going to say, this proves the point, the rich can buy the courtroom. what do you say? >> well, there used to be a phrase to describe this kind of kid, spoiled brat. we can blame the kid, we can blame the parents, we can blame the judge, we can blame

whoever, but to your political point it's an interesting one, say well, the 1% gets away with murder and so on. that's generally always been true. we've got people with resources with greater access and so on. what's more interesting to me is a broader political point. in this country now, i don't think that the major split is between republicans and democrats and liberals. it's elite class, whether they have money and power and ordinary americans, the rest of us. anybody else probably would not have the access to get that kind of a ruling in that case. stuart: charles? >> i mean it's political and money how they merge like a super duper collider. this is an issue going on not just in america, but around the world. dove tails with the things that the pope talks about and dove tails with president obama's income equality or pitch, if you will. and these kind of stories fan the fuel-- they fuel the hatred that we

don't have a shot in this country if my kid isn't rich, we don't have a shot to get this. we're being ripped apart and these kind of rulings help the people who want to rip us apart. stuart: you're precisely-- i want to bring in mark lanier. what do you make of this affluenza defense? >> you know, it's not surprising that it went out there, but it's sickening because i look at this from a justice perspective. it's not only unjust to the families of the four pedestrians that he killed, but it's unjust to the 16-year-old boy himself. can he ever grow up? can he ever become responsible when his parents buy this off like this and then our court system played a role in it is a sad, sad day for america. stuart: that's the point, isn't it, mark? if there's one place where you can get objective justice in the united states, it's supposed to be the courtroom. >> yes, and it happens. stuart: and this is a gross travesty. this is not justice. this is where having money is

used as an excuse for outrageous behavior, mark. >> it makes me sick and the judge boyd ought to be ashamed of herself. stuart: mark lanier joining us on the phone. contentious in my opinion that judge should be off the bench. >> and in the united states justice is supposed to be blind. it's supposed to be blind to wealth, it's supposed to be blind to your race, to your gender, to everything else and you get a ruling like this and you realize how corrupt the o? em is. did you do this? yes or no? i don't care what your background is. did you do it? the answer is yes. he did it. charles: although i will tell you one thing i'm against is mandatory sentencing, there are times when a judge should use discretion, five kids can get together and rob a store and one was sort of roped into it and there was a gang, a leader, you know, i mean, i think we should give discretion, but this judge should be ashamed of himself. stuart: it's a lady, i believe, it is, yeah. thanks indeed.

get ready for outrage. a teachers union fighting to get a $10,000 severance package for a 38-year-old teacher after being fired for raping a boy. i'm not getting into the moral aspects or legal aspects of it. what is the union trying to get this kind of severance package? this is what you expect from the teachers union? >> we've seen this kind of thing before from unions, especially teachers unions when a teacher is accused of some grave crime against the children that they are charged to protect and educate. we've seen the unions before step in in similar cases and say they deserve severance pay and all kinds of protection. my view is, look, the unions are there to get you an honest wage for an honest day's work, right? if you break the law, then all bets are off. you break the law, especially dealing with children, you break the law, you deserve none of the protections. stuart: by the way, the unions, teachers unions will be out in

force on monday of next week and demonstrationses across the creation and trying to put the good stuff back in. stuart: memo to unions, if you want to gain credibility stop with protecting the pedophiles and the rubber room, stop it, stop it. stuart: and check the big board, we're open higher and we're a little higher and not much of a bounce after 300 points this week. i want you to look at amazon, it's said to be launching a new business, selling things like cleaning supplies, pet supplies, bulk consumer items, selling them to amazon prime members. and they're clearly going after costco, charles, come on, i'm saying amazon is the most innovative and certainly the most interesting company in the world. are you with me? no? >> all right. charles: well, you know, they have creative ways of getting products to us, which is good, but you know, i'm more excited

about what tesla is working on, i think some of the things that google is working on and some of the things that would truly change our lives. >> really? that's pie in the sky stuff. here is amazon, and this behemoth in the industries leading every one of them. charles: they're perfecting how to get a box of soap in 30 seconds, i appreciate that. stuart: dismissive this morning. and i'm posing the same question to you, monica. >> i love amazon, a phenomenal company, and i've used them. but if they were a company that could perfect teleporter so i don't have to get on the subway or get on an airplane, that's the company of the future. get on it, people. stuart: and mention teleporting, we've got to move on. next restoration hardware down big because one of the ceo's is leaving. how big is down, nicole? >> well, down about 4%. and no one really expected this. you have the ceos there, the

co-ceo 4.7%, and he's leaving, actually, and going over to join lucky brand, the cool jeans and the like and said it would sell to the private equity firms leonard green don't worry about that point, the point is they're leaving and they're looking for a new ceo. stuart: it's at $62 a share. charles payne, who is still here, said it would go to 100. are you sticking by that? >> absolutely, absolutely. stuart: you are? >> absolutely. in the after market, listen i understand there are some people in it for the short term, but the numbers they posted are phenomenal. stuart: the white house launched what i'm calling a desperate pr campaign to get young people to sign up for obamacare. the singer adam levine is among those used to push obamacare on social media to young people. check out the rap parody featuring an obama impersonator. >>

♪ in the presence, yes we can, i dealt with the health care and don't try to talk about my plan like the people haven't won, they win it long. and it covers all conditions that could pre-exist and you should think about it, take a second. stuart: move on, gets better. the white house tweeted out this picture yesterday. and that's president obama with a sign that reads nobody should go broke just because they get sick. critics had a field day with this on the social media. obama zombies author jason mattera is with us this morning. jason, you saw the videos, you've heard about adam levine. it is-- is this approach using these people in this way to get young people to sign up to obamacare, in your judgment, is it going to work? >> i am highly, highly skeptical, stuart, that this approach will work. i think you're right. it's a hail mary. it shows that the white house is desperate to get young people to sign up for obamacare, but it doesn't matter how many adam levines or

these stupid and embarrassing rap videos they throw up on youtube, how many they have, it's not-- it doesn't change the fact that young people asked to sign up for a program they don't want, they will not use, and that's very expensive, and they know it's a raw deal. so, i'm sorry, in fact, harvard university released a poll last week and it was pretty damning, it said that fewer than one third of young americans plan on signing up for obamacare and half of them say that they dislike the law altogether. stuart: you used the word desperate and so did i and i think we're right because if they don't get enough young people to sign up and pay money in, the finances of obamacare begin to collapse. now, i'm going to put myself in the position of a young person just for one brief shining moment. why should i sign up for insurance which i don't think i need, and i don't want it, and i don't-- i can't afford it, and i would rather pay the so-called fine than sign up. by the way, that fine is not

taken out of me directly. i only pay it, $95, if i'm getting a tax refund, in which case the $95 is taken out of the tax refund. and that's why it's desperation. i don't think it's going to work. >> no, i don't think it's going to work either. and more so, if adam levine had any type of integrity or looking out for his fans, he would discourage them from putting their personal information in a website that is is paradise for hacker, instead he's acting like a government toady and shill for a deeply flawed program. early on during the rollout of obamacare, all of these celebrities who were hyping it up and going on twitter saying get covered and they even peeled back because they saw all the problems and yet adam levine says i'm going to go for the program. the guy is a hack, and there's no need to pay for a program

that doesn't work. stuart: jason mattera you're the author of "hollywood zombie as", no, you combined those, hollywood hipocrits and obama zombies. stuart: that's a pretty good combination. jason, thank you very much indeed. i think you're right on all over again. >> thank you stuart. stuart: yes, why would a serious museum feature an exhibit on the movie anchorman? the answer after this. . >> say you have a black box and it's freaking you out, is it freaking you out? a little bit? >> to be honest. >> is it freaking you out? >> she's got a knife! i think you scared him. you can't shout at brick. >> we're not here to hold hands and sing kumbayah.

museum, is for ron burgundy. sonia, it's good to have you with us, it's a serious place, it's about people like me, for heaven's sake, what are you doing putting ron burgundy in a prime position in your museum? >> well, this is an exhibit that's an entry into what was happening in the '70s in the news industry. it's a light-hearted way of introducing a very serious topic one that focused on diversity. women in the news room and a fun way to bring women into that topic. stuart: did they come to you and say we want to be in this exhibit or did you go to them? >> it was more like will ferrell came to visit us one day and said this is a great place and i enjoy the exhibits here, the serious exhibits and started a conversation about the anchorman movie. it's something that journalists all enjoy. i mean, let's be honest we've seen it and enjoy it so it's something that we can show off,

>> i learned that in an odd way. i had a buddy years ago, what are you up to next week? i'm going to look for a job. i said, okay, my benefits run out next week. i said have you been looking? he said no. what the hell, you're waiting until the last week? i never conceived it was possible, but i know people who have done it. stuart: it's buying votes. if you extend unemployment benefits and pay more money to 1.3 million people, maybe you're just going to get that percent of the votes. charles: all the things are done under the vernier of fairness. stuart: and speaking of which, the free market clearly under attack. listen to this. >> the market will take care of everything, they tell us. if we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes, but here is the problem. if doesn't work. it has never worked. stuart: interesting, it doesn't work, it's never worked. that's interesting. joining us from washington, a

>> hi, monica. >> hi, veronique. stuart: i'm just the guy in the middle here. well, we ran a brief clip from a young lady who wanted to sell mistletoe for her braces, okay, you know about this young lady. give me a brief snapshot, this is the free market. >> i do and by the president obama back in the day described a short tenure in the free market and he described it as quote, behind enemy lines. decribing the pre market. >> little madison her family is in dire straits and she needed braces and she picked mistletoe and fund it for her braces they threw her out of the public part and needed a permit and meanwhile, there were folks there begging for money who were allowed to stay in the public park, she was not. she's now parlayed this into a pretty successful business and hired 38 people, some of whom are homeless people in desperate need of a job.

she's now sold 12,000 bags of mistletoe, not only can she pay for her braces and she's helping needy kids pay for braces away and giving about one third to charities, local charities and the rest are going into her college fund. so, god bless her, that's the free market. stuart: veronique i'm sure you'll agree with that. i have to move onto another subject. >> this is why, this is because there are people like this that i'm here. stuart: yes, precisely. thank you, veronique. peugeot, raise that issue, the french car company, i say it's collapsing. general motors sold their stake in the company and it's way, way down, i say that peugeot is collapsing and i say that francois hollande in france doesn't want to see them go under. >> it's true for them for sure, the fact that they have a stake

in the viability or the success or failure of private companies is absolutely wrong. pnd in fact, i mean, the minister of finance has stated in february this year that peugeot won't fail. there's no way they will allow it because there are jobs at stake. and it's completely crazy and i will go further. actually maybe peugeot would have a higher chance of selling cars at a price that people want if the government wasn't involved and allowing them to engage in a lot of mismanagement. stuart: i've got 30 seconds, i want to ask you a personal question. if you don't mind. last time you were here, you were in new york, you had your parents with you visiting from france. did they understand why you've come to america? >> they absolutely understand. in fact, my dad works part-time outside of france for these reasons and i think right now,

it's particularly striking the difference. and as bad as it is here, it is really, really stunning how far the government is trying to go in france. so they get it. stuart: yeah, i have the same reaction from my mom and dad when they came over to visit me many years ago. they understood why i'm here. and veronique, a recovering european, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. charles. charles: you look at the public opinion polls in france and a lot of people may be getting it. this is probably the worst poll, president in the history of france right now. stuart: the largest expatriate population of french people outside of france is where? do you know where? >> montreal. stuart: london. charles: really? >> yes, huge. time to get in the spirit, the christmas spirit. one thing that's not selling this year, new christmas music. find out why you'd rather listen to songs like this. ♪ i'm dreaming of a white christmas♪

>> what i would do honestly, if there is no way to really reproduce a classic record like white christmas and sort of make it better, i probably would try to write and produce a new record just as good as white christmas and if i was producing white christmas, i probably would stick to the script and try to work on one of my favorite vocalists and try to sort of give and amazing rendition vocally more so than musically. because i think that is really what the whole thing about the whole thing about christmas music is, the emotional attachment to the feeling and the notion of christmas. stuart: what is your favorite christmas song? >> you hit the nail on the head, white christmas.
