hold the ceo's to and the short time frames make it difficult. they're there for the shareholders and sometimes it gets muddied in the water. it shouldn't make your sole decision. yes, it plays a role, but it's not a part, it's a whole. stuart: can i say that scott shellady goes for the money and profits period? >> no, but i can tell you this, stuart, we here in chicago were hoping it would get a lot colder maybe hell would freeze over and the cubs could win the world series so we're waiting for colder weather. stuart: that was a fine line, young man, and we like it. i'm sure we'll hear it again. and check the big board, where are we on the early going? tuesday morning, up ten points. 16450 and now 25 points should see a gain of 50 or 60 in the opening few minutes of trading. and all right, here is more on the money and morality debate. we've got one analyst who cut ratings on three stocks, apple, amazon, phillip morris, basically for moral and ethical

reasons according to him. apple pays too little and amazon pressures employment and philip morris with black lung on its hands and we've got shah galani. first to you, shah. does morality play any role in the companies that you invest in? >> actually it doesn't. i look at them from a financial perssective and not a social engineering, not what i'm analyzing. you always have an opportunity to look at the product the company sells or look at labor charges or costs and make determinations based on that, but when i'm analyzing the company in terms of buying or selling or short it. it's financial and there's no social engineering involved at all. >> liz, would you invest in a company you think is acting immorally? >> probably not, but this is about high morals over the returns and high morals basically don't equate to high

returns. they're normally low returns. and we know there is responsible investing and we know about the 400 index, but that's posted negative 2% over the last five years versus slightly positive returning for the worldwide index. and doesn't bring in the money. >> i would not turn down all the profit that's been made in amazon stock, because i think that it pressures its workers while jeff bezos is worth 27 billion dollars, i'm not going to do it liz: there are ways to get the companies to change behavior which is happening at the proxy statement level. stuart: jetblue, their shares, they took a big hit yesterday because of this deep freeze. that was yesterday, by the way. they're up a little bit this morning. the company canceled flights in and out of boston and new york throughout the afternoon and they will resume today. they did this because of the cold weather, the big freeze. liz, did they do the right thing? other airlines did not do-- didn't cancel across the board. they did because they said, we

don't want to leave people stranded on the tarmac liz: in terms of jetblue's history of stranding passengers on the tarmac, they ddd the right thing and basically you have to listen to management. jetblue has a history of dealing with problems of stranding passengers in the past. i'll tell you something. with flights delayed. here is the bottom line and the reason. diesel fuel ices over and turns into jelly. the ground crews, they find electrical problems on the trucks, the servicing trucks with the food and equipment baggage and baggage basically turn styles there. and they're just like cars they have to deal with. when the cars have problems and same with the flight crews as well. stuart: i agree with you, i think that jetblue did the same thing, saved people the hassle. you know, we've been talking about twitter recently and we call it the horse race stock because it's wild swings, all over the place and right now, it's up 35 cents at 66 on twitter. and shah. do you have the stomach to invest in a twitter long-term? >> no, i don't.

and maybe short-term to trade it up and down, sure, but long-term, to take a position here, and especially at the high levels, i don't think so. in terms of ad dollars, twitter has 30 million active users and facebook has has over a billion users and mobile users and the reach is better in terms of ad dollars and i think the revenue will be flowing to facebook and googles of the world and i'm not inclined to be a long-term investor. stuart: we hear you. the dow industrials opened with a solid game and we're now up 66 points. shy of 16,500 this tuesday morning. to netflix, the stock is down, i believe. and they've got a downgrade, nicole, how bad? >> it's to the down side. 4 1/4%. and this is the concern from amazon and hulu, h.b.o. go and others and that's why you have the analysts there over at morgan stanley cutting into 310 from 333 and make it an underweight. stuart: you know, we talk tech

all the time on the show and i want to talk apple this morning because we've got new reports out of asia that the iphone tablet comes out in may and iphone 6 and i see apple down today. nicole: 542.17, maybe we need more information other than the names of the the fablet and something's that's going to wow. stuart: how about google. we've got another new high there? . nicole: it's unbelievable. as i read the reports from deutche bank, a must-own for 2014. and get there overweight with a 1305 target. new high for google, 1125. stuart: i wonder what would happen to the stock if they did say a ten for one split or split right down so you could buy 100 shares and don't have to have a second mortgage. i wonder what would happen. >> ala hathaway, have

the next cheaper set. stuart: we'll see. and nicole, thank you. the dow is up 17 points. and the campaign chief is at it again. president obama pushes for the extension of unemployment benefits and on thursday roll out a plan for promise zones. that's poor communities that would get tax breaks along with extra education and housing spending. shah galani, if he gets this and a higher minimum wage, do you think it's enough for a stronger economy? >> i don't think it will help a whole lot. i think it's a function of how the programs are orchestrated. what is the end results and if there is efficacy in the programs and if there are additional handouts and expanding the welfare state they're not doing anything for the economy. the economy has structural problems and i don't think that the president and his administration are addressing them appropriately. stuart: liz? >> shah hit the point. talk of unemployment benefits

or jobs is the fallout of bad policies not creating jobs. we have a record number of long-term unemployed and the average since 1948 has been 2 million and we're now double at that. 4 million people unemployed for six months or longer. so this is the fallout of bad policy not creating jobs in this country and when you talk about papering over the problem, yes, you want to help people and of course you don't want people on low retail, fast food worker jobs or mcjoos, that's the question. how do you create better jobs in the economy? >> it's such small bore measures, too, 3 million just on education spending and promise-- >> it's not even a blip on the radar, it's not a blip on the radar, you're right the amount pushed into the program is so d din-- deminimus it doesn't register. it's a sad state of affairs liz: when you take jobless benefits away and they aren't

good jobs to give those people who are coming off of unemployment. stuart: next topic, we say that tech is king here on "varney & company" and in the financial times today, it says the global tech market will shrink this year because of a lack of new gadgets. are you buying that, liz? >> yeah, i am. this is a really eye opening kind of a statement out of the consumer electronics show, that the global tech markets will shrink this year, 2014 because there's nothing really to replace smart phones and tablets. warable technology does not have the mass market yet, the watches. so the thing is with thewarable watches andwarable tech, it doesn't have the cache yet because people don't think it's attractive as a regular watch or wearable technology. >> average price for smart phones, in the 200's rather

than 400's. stuart: the dow is back above 16-5 this tuesday morning. there you have it, 80 points up for the dow. next case, we've been warning you about the coming chaos with obamacare. so where exactly is that chaos and confusion? where is it? after the break, one of the harshest critics of the new health care law brings us an update. ♪ nowhere to run, baby, nowhere to hide♪ ♪ got nowhere to run to, baby ♪ nowhere to hide

and, please, look at netflix, down big, it got a downgrade. netflix is down 15 bucks at 343. we've been warning you about the chaos and confusion which was expected when obamacare kicked in january the 1st. all right. where is that chaos and confusion? galen institute president grace marie turner is here with the report. i'm getting scattered reports from nurses and doctors and hospitals, delayed treatments and are you covered, not covered. the big picture to me doesn't seem like we've got real chaos and confusion at this point? . what do you say? >> it's really individual. we have hospitals not treating people if they can't confirm they're covered by obamacare in virginia. it's difficult to cover confusion that's so diversified around the country, but i think what you're likely to see,

stuart, in this next wave of obamacare problems, you're going to start to see just as last fall, when so many people were losing their individual policies, tens of millions of people are facing that this coming year as small business policies have to be renewed and many small businesses are going to say, you know, i can't afford this new expensive obamacare insurance, sending people to the exchanges, causing taxpayer costs to go up even further and so, i think you're starting-- you start to see the changes in waves, stuart. >> well, the people who support obamacare, the administration people, they say, look, give it a little time, things are improving. the website is much better. we've enrolled 2.1 million people by the end of the year, things are gradually improving and we can get over these little blips coming along with the confusion. you're not buying that at all?

>> enrollment is not purchasing a product. it's like putting something in your shopping cart at amazon, until you pay, you do not own that policy. and i am worried that many of those 2.1 million people who have enrolled are not going to actually follow through, pay their premium and even more importantly, continue to pay their premiums month after month after month after year after year to comply with the obamacare mandate. i'm also worried that many of those who are signing up are actually older, sicker people, not the young healthy that we needed. and that many many of them are simply replacing the insurance that they lost when the-- when they lost their individual policies. stuart: i see where you're coming from, grace-marie, but none of this adds up to a meltdown, a spiraling down of chaos and confusion which means we just throw up our hands and somehow or other congress acts

to repeal this thing. i don't see it getting that bad from what you're saying. >> well, when you're talking about a 2.6 trillion dollar part of our economy, it takes a long time for major changes to work their way through the system. health insurance companies have been doing their best to try to comply with this law. so have employers, and frankly, so are many individuals who are now mandated to purchase this coverage. they are trying to comply with the law, even though the president keeps changing it all the time, so, we're starting to see, of course, there are major changes in our health center, but they take time to really sink in and i think we're going to start to see the impact f these higher taxes, all of the mandates, the lost coverage, are going to be roll, a cascade of news stories throughout the year and really throughout the next several years, stuart. stuart: can i just ask a technical question? if i enroll on the exchange a buy a plan and i get a big subsidy from the government so it doesn't cost me very much, but i buy into a plan with a

big deductible. even though i've got the subsidy, i still have to pay that deductible. is that correct? >> that's correct. it depends. there are actually are a second set of subsidies, stuart, for the deductibles, who people who are under 250% of poverty for the faly, they get help with the deductible. the average deductible for the policies is about 4,000 a year. a lot of people need help with that, some people are getting subsidies not only with the premiums, but subsidies for the deductibles. if you're over 250% of poverty then you have to pay that first $4,000 before your insurance triggers clicks in, as well as the premiums, as well as other out of network costs that you may incur, so, some people may wind up paying a quarter of their income for health insurance. i just think that's going to be very difficult to sustain,

stuart. stuart: i think so. grace-marie turner, you know what you're talking about and appreciate you sharing it with us today on "varney & company." thanks very much, grace-marie. up next my take on political theater obama style. that will be after the break. ♪ you know, we almost didn't notice it♪ ♪ did it all the time ♪ on 42nd street [ male announcer ] here's a question for you:

here is my take. raise the minimum wage, expand jobless benefits and vastly expand medicaid and cities with promise zones and of course, tax the rich. that's the presi headed into the mid term elections 11 months from now. economically this absolutely will not work. we've had this tax and spend policy for five years and poor people have actually lost ground. so has the middle class. you don't magically solve the income gap by taking from one group and giving to another. it's never worked out that way. but politics, uh-huh, that's a different game entirely. if you win the vote, it doesn't matter what really happens to people and their money. you will see an example of this today. the president will push for extended jobless benefits. you will see several unemployed people behind him to put a human face on the issue. that is politically theater obama style. tug at the heart strings, portray your opponents as

callus. win the vote. it doesn't matter whether your policies succeed, what matters is votes. what is striking is that this is a very small scale for the president's latest proposal. does anyone really believe that a higher minimum wage will put a dent in the income gap. will problems solved, no, it won't. the media will say he's trying and his heart is in the right place. again, it's not the success or failure of policies that counts, it's about claiming the higher moral ground. as usual, margaret thatcher got it right. the left, she said, doesn't mind if the poor get poorer, so long as the rich get poorer, too. there you have it. that's correct. 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 unds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally. but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. but with less energy, moodiness, i saw my doctor.rive, a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can store t levels to norm in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger an 18 or men with prostate or bret cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of por increased acneor in women may occur.air report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms,

stuart: does morality play any role in the companies you decide to invest? >> it does, but i wouldn't tell anyone to sell it. my problem with thhs, he should abstain from coverage. you don't downgrade a company because you don't like their politics or the way they pay their workers. you're not doing your customers any favors by saying don't buy because they're going to have extraordinary profits on the bottom line. when people start thinking, listen, it's the same argument with people who missed this rally. a lot of people think they should make money for the quote-unquote right reasons, but that universe might not exist. stuart: sandra? >> i think morality plays a role for pretty much anybody who invests in the market. i think stem cells is a good example, green energy is another good example of that. i think people who -- stuart: well, you would buy a green energy company because you believe in what that company is doing. >> sure. i think morality plays a huge part in the investment of any green energy company.

my image of the brand. >> that happens to me a lot, you know? i went to a restaurant this weekend, and i'm going to write a letter to the ceo. i didn't like the way my family was treated. i won't diss it unless the numbers are bad, and that's on a personal level. but this is a guy who owns a gigantic research firm, and he's telling people not to own these stocks. i think at the other end of the spectrum, is he doing his clients a service by telling them not to own this similarly because he doesn't like that bezos has a lot of money or apple makes these computers in a place where they're paying people $2 an hour. stuart: i saw him make this statement, and it looked like a heavily political statement. >> i've got to tell you, i get pissed off with these guys who have these epiphanies after they've reaped all the rewards of working on wall street for 40 years. now he's got a conscience? go fly a kite. [laughter] stuart: gotta move on.

good subject though. dish network thinks it knows how to beat the so-called cord cutters, you know, the death of traditional tv. they've got a solution maybe? offer a free ipad with a subscription. all right, nicole, the stock leads. >> reporter: with a subscription, right? that's the key point, because there's always some sort of caveat. up a quarter of a percent, dish network, so they're extending this free ipad offer that they have with the promotion for a hopper. this is one of their services, 24 month agreement, and their whole idea is you're going to be on the go, and you're going to want to be watching programs and the like, so they're putting the ipad in there. stuart: would you sign up for this? >> why not? i don't know. you know, i don't like to be roped into anything, so i probably wouldn't. stuart: okay, got it, nicolement the dow is now up 114. the consumer electronics show, that is underway. we've talked a lot about the connected car. today we have someone from ford's lincoln division to give us a preview of the next generation of cars.

lincoln's executive vice president and evp of ford's global marketing and sales. all right, jim, i've got a new car, and on my new car i've got a dvd, i've got blue tooth so i can use the phone, i've got the gps. what are you going to put on a new ford car that moves me forward technically? >> well, great question. there are we launched sync back in 2007, and we have about eight million vehicles with sync. sync allows you to run your mobile apps on your phone and connect to your car, and you can use up to 10,000 words to control the vehicle as well as those apps. so it's a lot safer way to drive. and we have some great apps. we're launching here an adt app that allows you to arm your house or turn on the lights remotely from your car as well as park mobile. it allows you to find parking spaces and pay for them inside

your car without looking for that loose change. stuart: so you're putting a lot of apps on the dashboard, so to speak, and you're trying to transform a new ford car into a guy gabtic smartphone. i mean, have i got that roughly right? >> that's right. you know, most people have their smartphones and have their apps that they love. what we're trying to do at ford is allow those to run really easily in the car and just use your voice to control the apps. so it's a lot safer. and those apps are pandora, adt, the ones i mentioned. we have about 60 apps now. and it's great for customers. they love it. stuart: are you going to run into the problem of distracted driving? i mean, there's a big push to no texting whilst you drive. it occurs to me that you might run right up against that problem of distracted drivers. >> well, that's a great point. the whole, the well idea behind

sync is to put your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel so that you can interact using your voice and the controls in the car and not have to look down at your smartphone running that app. so sync is a great solution to, so that you can keep driving a lot safer. stuart: i take it the ford has a car that drives itself. the only thing stopping you putting it on the road is you need a whole bunch of new rules and regulations to get it out there. is that accurate? >> well, we do have a prototype, and the autonomous vehicle is certainly a hot topic in our industry. we already have a lot of features that help customers with a little automation now like adaptive cruise control. it's a spectrum. you know, really the challenges for fully-autonomous vehicles are not the regulations necessarily, it's really the technology. the cost as well as the

reliability. a system has to be 100% reliable if you're driving down the highway at 60 miles an hour. and be really that's the big challenge for a fully autonomous car right now. stuart: okay. we look forward to seeing it in reality. thankthanks so much, jim farleye appreciate you being here. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: new this hour, it's one of the largest social security disabilitt fraud busts in history. the feds arresting more than former new york city police officers, firefighters and other city workers alleging they built the government out of $24 million -- bilked the government in fraudulent disability claims. all right, charles. any government program's going to be rife with this kind of thing. >> absolutely. and it's so rife that people, everyone knows. it's like as soon as you start working there, you start going, oh, by the way, bob's got three weeks left on the job, and he's doing this or this person's got that. we know about it. i'm kind of glad they're cracking down on this, but it's so known, it's nowhere even near

like shocking to me anymore. >> part of the story that i thought was shocking was that there were four people that were arrested who were responsible for actually helping them navigate the system through the application process, they were coaching them on how to do this, and this was carried out in about ten states. so this is a vast problem, a vast fraud, and they weren't doing it alone. >> usually they also have a couple of doctors who get involved too. they had the whole network set up, and, you know, when you go in there, people kind of let you know who's the person to go to for this kind of stuff. stu stuart look at the dow, 118 points, 16, 543. controversy over the nsa's spying scandal continues. this time the agency is refusing to answer a sitting senator who's asking questions about you sighing on congress? next, the judge. watch out. ♪ ♪ welcome back. how is everything?

with kind of a non-answer. here's the answer. members of congress have the same privacy protections as all u.s. persons. is anyone, even our elected officials, safe from this kind of prying and recordkeeping? we've already introduced the man, pontificating on socialism, so here he is again, judge andrew napolitano. is it possible that the administration is spying on republicans? >> i think it's probable that it's spying on all members of congress. the back story is senator sanders' letter to general alexander followed an interesting back and % between senator rand paul and a republican from long island, congressman peter king. senator paul said, general clapper, general alexander's boss -- the one who rubbed his forehead and said, no, when he was asked by senator wyden if the nsa is gathering massive amounts of data about tens or hundreds of millions of americans -- senator paul said

general clapper perjured himself and should go to jail for i. -- for it. congressman king says you're wrong, i don't care if they sigh on me. he doesn't care if it's perjury, because it's keeping america safe. put aside the absurdity and clownishness of that argument, it reminded the nsa that they could be prosecuted for perjury. so rather than saying, no, and lying to senator sanders, rather that be saying, yes, and telling the truth, they gave that absurd, middle of the road, meaningless answer. members of congress have the same privacy protection as all u.s. persons which is to say from the nsa, none. stuart: now, we've used the expression spying. is the nsa spying on members of congress? >> well -- stuart: that's a pejorative word. and be it dose beyond tracking -- it goes beyond tracking. if the nsa is tracking phone calls, not recording the calls themselves, but looking at who

called who and when -- >> "the guardian" magazine -- stuart: is that spying? >> okay, good question. "the guardian" magazine, which i know you read all the time at the london school of economics, "the guardian" magazine which is one of the designated recipients from edward snowden reported this september that raw data -- now, that's not metadata, that's text of e-mails and digital recordings of phone conversations -- is given by the nsa to our allies among whom are israel and great britain. it also reported that raw data is given to the nsa's boss. the president of the united states. stuart stuart so you're -- >> so could you imagine, could you imagine general alexander going into the oval office saying, mr. president, guess what rand paul and ted cruz are cooking up now? here's a tape of them talking to each other yesterday. this is not fanciful. it's criminal, but it's probable. stuart: you say probable. >> well, yes, because they

won't, today won't deny it. listen, the nsa works for the president. the president of the congress under our constitutional scheme are equals. the president can no more spy on the congress lawfully than the congress can tell the president how to maneuver troops in wartime. it is a serious constitutional violation, and they refuse to deny it. stuart: you have an issue, do you not? >> yes, i do. stuart: judge, thanks very much, indeed. >>/. stuart: gotta move. up next, a new ad for old spice going viral. some people say it's a little creepy. i don't think so. i think i like it. more on this next. look at this. ♪ ♪ old spice, now he's becausing all the women, and his chores aren't done. ♪ he was -- tiny fingers, hands and feet, now he's touching and feeling all the women -- ♪ old spice [ male announcer ] this is the story of the little room

maybe decades before it is nationally legalized. what say you? >> what i find interesting is what is happening so far. this has been a tax bonanza for colorado when you look at the fact that these shops made over $1 million in one day and that 25% of all the money that goes to marijuana in colorado goes towards taxes to help the school system i think we are on to something. stuart: i take your point. i am just wondering at the national level do you think it will be a republican or a democrat president and administration which pushes for full national legalization? >> one thing i strongly believe is governor cuomo in new york his signing executive action to bring legalized cannabis to new york. president obama has the same

ability to sign an executive order, executive action to legalize across the country. when you look at the fact that our approval ratings are soaring as more state every day are coming on board, the ohio rights group in ohio could be an important swing vote in the 2004 election, as those of ohio so goes the nation. stuart: in new york state governor cuomo is only prepared to legalize it in a very narrow way. you have to have cancer or some equivalent level of illness before you can have legal medicinal marijuana. heavily restricted in new york state. >> you are absolutely correct. governor cuomo is enacting legislation that was passed in 1980. he started the first initials stand. it is my belief and understanding from the activists i have been working with that most likely in they will sit down, this will take a full year to enact.

what will happen is he will sit down with some people who are experts, doctors or scientists and those qualifying conditions will be enlarged and also with the success of the recreational campaigns in colorado and washington i think once these dates and even the federal government see the revenue between generated by this will be a game change your and a democrat or republican, i fink my gut instinct says obama may find an executive action to go out and leave a legacy behind and if not it could be a republican. stuart: it is a financial issue and that is a fact. we appreciate you being with us. my dream--a healthful product, physical keyboard i can attached to my iphone. the company that makes it after this. ♪
