america's not working. 347,000 people gave up looking for work. paul conway former labor department chief of staff in d.c. paul, 20 seconds, how did this happen? >> absolutely devastating. i think what's happening is you hit it on the head, this is the true impact and the long-term consequence of president obama's economic policy and i think that people figure it out despite recent efforts to make it about income inequality or delink from obamacare. i think it's a devastating report from all americans, especially for the white house. stuart: stay there, paul, a lot more from you coming up. thank you very much indeed. we have two obamacare stories. we're going to update you on this friday morning. number one, health insurers say they don't have any records of 13,000 people who signed up for a plan on the government exchan exchange, officials say the problem is real, but under control. insurers are worried that they'll run into more snags if they're hit with a flood of new customers signed up in december. then there are reports that staples has been cutting hours

9:30 am
everything is okay. i know the fed is not going to be able to get out of this without some bumpy ride. what do you think that janet yellen's first words are going to be at the fed meeting? what now? we don't have an answer and we've proven that government stimuli isn't doing the job. we need another way to stimulate the economy because we have a huge participation rate drop and must have a lot of 30-year-old retirees. stuart: you know, you make a lot of sense, scott. and how about this, how about that to get things going? i'm out of time and look, the market's open and we'll be follow this on a minute second by second basis. it's a dismal jobs report and there was a rally in the futures before we got the report and it's faded and we opened a bit higher, up 14, 16 points and looks like we're going to have to put sears on death watch after the company reported weakness all over the place. john layfield is here from sunny bermuda, that's why
9:31 am
you're here, by the way, john. do you agree, should we place sears on death watch? >> yes, unfortunately, like a lot of americans i grew up on the sears roebuck catalog. it takes a lot to turn the customers off. same-store sales were down 9.2%. eddie lambert has run this like a conglomerate not a retail business and it's a tough business, eddie lambert has figured that out and not running the stores, and unfortunately i think sears is going the way of the dinosaur. stuart: i have a bright spot in retail. abercrombie says it sold big on-line and up goes the stock. the price is down 30% in a year. look at it today. some 14%, what have you got to say about that, john? >> i like abercrombie, exactly what things are going on with sears, abercrombie & fitch is doing well and the on-line stuff. that's the migration of everything you're doing. it's a total retail experience.
9:32 am
stuart: it's on-line and that's where it's at. i've got new details on target from the data breach. it's 70 million customers whose names were breached. names, e-mails addresses stolen. 70 million. the company lowered the profit outlook as well. john, i say that stock is actually a buy. sooner or later, this is going to be out of the way and the banks will probably end up paying for this. what do you say? >> i think it's a buy, stewart. if it's not a buy here, very soon. once this clears out of the way. the worst security breach since 2005. it may be the worst of all time. target is a great company. they've lowered sales forecast for basically being flat in the fourth quarter to down 2.5%. when they do you'll be happy to buy the stock around these levels. stuart: john, please stay there. we're going back to sunny bermuda in a moment. this is without a doubt the horse race stock, intercept,

the drug company, it has a drug for fat liver disease. nicole? >> it just hit 400, i mean, it's unbelievable. 406. this thing is going wild. it was up almost 300% yesterday and it's up about 50% right now. as i speak, it just continues to run up. it's at 419. it's breaking through and it's all about liver, treating liver disease caused by fat buildup. it turns out they had a liver disease drug which met the goals of mid stage trials. with that, yesterday the stock soared, as i noted, up almost 300% and breaking through almost every moment that passes. our producer here kaitlin keeps yelling out the numbers, 388, 398. 400, 406. she is so frantic and that's the kind of stock it is, the horse race is a great analogy. stuart: that's an extraordinary thing and this is the stock of the day for sure. all right, nicole, i'm sure you're going to stay on that
9:34 am
one, but i've got to get back to this jobs report. we have austan goolsbee former advisor to president obama, now the professor at the school of business. austan, i've got to say this is dismal and terrible, in my opinion this points to the failure of president obama's long-term economic policy. how do you explain this report? >> well, it's definitely a big miss for this month. i don't disagree with that. i just -- as i always said when i was in the government and i'll continue to say now, you never make anything of one month's report, a three-month average is a lot better measure, more accurate measure, and if you look last month we were way over expectation and now we're way under, if you average those it's kind of middling performance that we've been having for some time. so, i think the fed's got to be definitely concerned if they got out ahead of their skis on this. but overall, it's a pretty weak1 report. stuart: it's a terrible report,
9:35 am
austan. i mean, look 62.8%, the participation rate? america's just not working at this point. >> well, yes and no. i mean the one thing that would caution you on that is. stuart: to ask the question-- hold on a second, austan. >> the participation record. stuart: wait a second, you've got to answer the question here. is this dismal economic performance last month and the weak economy that we've got going, isn't that to some degree pointing at a policy failure by president obama? >> if that persisted, then, yes. stuart: five years, austan. >> as i say the last month's report was actually quite good. just taking labor force participation, remember, that includes discouraged workers and people retiring and the aging of the population means if we come back one year from now, the participation rate is going to set a new record, and
9:36 am
two years from now, it will set another record because more and more people are retiring as the baby boom comes up. stuart: will you accept any degree of failure of president obama's economic policy? >> well, look it, it's not for me to judge that. we should evaluate the facts on the ground and this was a weak report. last month was a very strong report. let's keep an eye on this. if gdp turns up in the 3% range, which it has been running for this quarter, that would be the beginnings of success. if it turns back down to 2%, then we've got major problems. stuart: okay, austan. we thank you very much for being with us again and i'm sure you'll be with us next month and see what turns up. thank you very much. back to paul conway, he's still with us. i want to ask this question, obamacare, has that made any difference to these numbers? and looking to the future, will obamacare have a negative effect on the numbers in the next few months? >> i absolutely believe that
9:37 am
obamacare is more and more employers, especially small business owners become more and more familiar with the practical impacts of it, you're going to see a further freezing of job creation. i mean, in all due respect to austan, he's a good guy, but an architect of the house is not always the best reviewer of what the house looks like when it's done. he's an architect of this economic policy. the president owns this thing. and the focus has got to be on job creation and impacts on jobs, just as much as this administration puts a focus on environmental i am tactffactact- impact, every decision they prom gait, what is the impact. stuart: we appreciate your comment. come back next month, i'm sure we'll get another dose then. thank you very much, paul. goldman sachs says buy macy's. all right, nicole, any impact on the stock? >> it would have been great if they had said that yesterday when the stock was jumping. today it's pulling back a
9:38 am
little bit. they're cutting costs and gave an upbeat outlook for 2014 is and macy's owns also bloomingdale's and they're one of the retailers doing well. so as a result, goldman sachs gets up today and you know what? we're raising. and they think there's a potential. stuart: thanks, nicole, i lost you there and you were there momentarily. i understand that labor secretary perez said that this jobs report shows we still have work to do. that's a direct quote. world wrestling entertainment making a big announcement yesterday. they'll be launching a streaming service that will allow fans to stream wrestling events and original programming for $10 a month via the internet. we're saying this could be a game changer for wrestling. it's also maybe a template for the future of ala carte tv channels. john layfield is still here and he's a former wwe superstar and knows what he's talking about.
9:39 am
i'm not going to so much concentrate on wwe. i think this is a game changer in the delivery of the tv channel to your home via the internet. go. >> yes, i agree completely and for full disclosure, i do own wwe stock. and they pioneered closed circuit television and cable television. this is a big a came changer and this does lead to ala carte programming. you look at the yes network for the new york yankees. imagine going straight over the top as they call it in industry parlance to the consumer via on-line. you control everything, you control the entire interactive experience. wwe made the cable network the number one. and i agree, this is a foreshadowing, what's going to happen in the future for direct consumer content. stuart: i was almost distracted
9:40 am
by sight of you beating the hell out of someone in the ring there. let me get this right. i can choose which channels i want to bring in via the internet and if i want wrestling plus other original programming from the wrestling people, i pay 10 bucks a month to get that. if i pay to another channel and get ala carte political channel, i can do that. you see this as a wave of the future for the distribution of tv? >> no doubt about it, if i were the cable provider i'd be worried. vince mcmahon talked about this in his press conference he was going to get 20 cents per subscriber per month. and now they're getting $10 per subscriber per month and they're getting full boat on this. you're going to see companies going directly to consumers and this is a huge paradigm shift. we knew this was coming and we didn't know when. we're now seeing the first aspect of this. stuart: john, thank you very much, back to the beach for you. thank you very much indeed. check the big board, where are

company like alcoa and stock go down 6.8%, but it's happening right now. president obama talking to lawmakers this week about reforming the nsa. congressman jim sensenbrenner, he's one of the lawmakers who attended that meeting and also one of the architects of the original patriot act and joins us now. congressman, thank you very much indeed for being with us. >> good morning. stuart: am i right in saying that what you took away from that meeting is that the president is reluctant to make any changes to the way nsa surveils america, right? >> you're absolutely right on this. the patriot act was never intended to allow for the bulk collection of everybody's phone records and if that was the case, it never would have passed congress 12 years ago. what we need to do now is to pass a legislation to make sure that it doesn't happen, and to have more transparency of what the secret fisa court does so if there's any change in policy
9:47 am
we would know about it and we would be able to debate it and to make whatever changes in the law we felt were necessary. stuart: congressman, i don't get it, to be honest with you, i don't get it. president obama is losing young voters on this issue, young people especially do not like the government checking up on what they're doing electronically, they don't like it. so, why is the president standing so firm behind the interpretation of the patriot act and the use of the nsa as he's doing now? >> well, stuart, you get it. the president doesn't. and that's unfortunate. they seem to think that having all of this bulk collection can identify terrorist plots before they're actually executed and the submission, the justice department game to the federal judge in d.c., they said that all of these millions and trillions of phone calls, there were only three cases where this quote, metadata might have
9:48 am
stopped the terrorist attack and urgency about it. why do they need all of these phone records if there really isn't any data that could be mined to make us safer? the danger of this falling into the wrong hands and being used to go after personal identification, which has nothing to do with terrorists or law enforcement, is just staggering. stuart: congressman. >> the president is saying, trust me. stuart: i'm coming up on a hard break, but i have to ask this question, can you reform the rules for the nsa and keep me safe and make me at the same time make me feel i don't have big brother looking at me? can you do it? >> sure, we can. and senator leahy and i have introduced the freedom act. there's got to be a balance between security and privacy and civil liberties. the president has tossed any concern for privacy and civil liberties out the window and it's about time we retrieve it
9:49 am

9:54 am
two contrasting styles. the president highlighting the zones. he looked defensive, in the face of sharp attack. i know that's a value judgment. that's the way the president came across to me. and yes, i'm critical of his policies, but that's the way he came across. and governor christie faced questions about the traffic jams and he was in a deep hole. he came across as forceful, honest, contrite and tough, tough on himself. he spent nearly two hours answering each question at him. you don't see that often. i'm making a value judgment about his style. to me the governor came out of it in better shape than when he went in. and then you're talking about style, not policy, not the content of the two appearances, but the style is very important in politics. how we perceive our leaders has a big influence on how we vote.
9:55 am
so, i'll make another value judgment, i prefer the christie style. i want leadership that admits mistakes. i want direct and forthright statements. i want an executive who is tough and occasionally aggressive and most of all, most of all, i want leadership that goes after our enemies. how about you? so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savin accounts? that's right, no hidd fees. it's just that i'm worried about, you know, "hidden things." ok, why's that? well uhhh... surprise!!! um... well, it's true. at ally there are no hidden fees. not one. that's nice. no hidden fees, no worries. ally bank. your money needs an ally. you wouldn't have it she any other way.r toes. your money needs an ally. but your erectile dysfunction - it could be a question of blood flow.

10:00 am
big story of the day, first of all check the big board, down 6 points. it was a dismal jobs report. labour participation rate at a generational lowe, 36 year low and we got the white house response to that jobs report. they are flat out playing the blame game. here is congress allowed extended unemployment insurance to lapse at end of 2013 cutting off a critical lifeline to those who lost a job through no fault of their own and are still searching for work. that is their response? they also highlighted a drop in the unemployment rate, let me remind you that drop in the rate was because a lot of people, 347,000 of them, stopped looking for work. the white house also blames, what else do they blame? the weather? sandra smith, you are here, charles, you are here. what is going on? sandra: these are horrible numbers and no way to mask them and anyone who wants to look at
10:01 am
this drop in the unemployment rate, something to be proud of, this is merely a reflection of the dropping out of the work force and the very few people that are actually looking for work that are out of work. may i remind you that while we have come if our way out of the 10% high in the middle of the recession we are still above at any .15 years leading up to the recession the unemployment rate is still above that. stuart: we are still close to 1 million jobs short of where we were in 2007. what is your take? charles: the earlier this week the fed release them minutes and that we don't believe the jobless rate. we are not going to look at that number. a lot of people say why wouldn't you? they understand the reality of it. 6% unemployment rate the way we are going now, i did a calculation this morning, 6.7 million people dropped out of the job market since january of 2009.
10:02 am
because the rate was 65.5 when president obama took office. that is an amazing number. sandra: lot of part-time workers as well. stuart: i will characterize it as dismal and leave it at that. any arguments? obviously not. bring us back to the reality of individual stocks moving up and down. abercrombie is up big and that is because of online sales. nicole: they are raising forecasts to stop, when you said big beat you were not kidding, it is up 12%, raising full-year earnings forecasts, turned out sales are not great, they sought a loss of 6% decline but what that showed, that was an improvement, less worth, not as bad as people had seen, it was a loser overall, it had a stigma now with it, it has been under scrutiny, they have a lot of commentary and tried to add larger sizes and do things like
10:03 am
that to improve their image and improve what they give to the government. stuart: i do believe online you go begin to online and your stock goes up. that is my opinion. nicole: that is what we have been saying. stuart: thanks. this year won't believe. talk about greenies gone wild. a group in san francisco wants to remind drivers that killing their cars with gas is contributing to global warming. they will slap a sticker on gas pumps similar to those on cigarette packs. this according to the san francisco chronicle. it is true. sandra: the worst part is the unintended consequences of them pushing for something like this, targeting san francisco, targeting berkeley, targeting oakland, calif.. guess what? this is -- noting an image of the sticker they are proposing be put on the pumps this is the

10:08 am
>> samsung is looking for ways to compete in the high end smart phone market and as we know apple is going to be released with china mobile later this month so they are looking for ways like apple had in their iphone 5 a place to put your thumb and scan that to allow your phone, looking for ways basically to out do apple in this arena. stuart: i am not going with the fridge or the robotic vacuum cleaner but i am big on the tv and i don't mind the i scanner. am i at neanderthal? >> no. it surprises me you like the virus scanner be enough privacy guy. i think it is an exciting announcement. stuart: that would seem to enhance security. you can't duplicate my eyeball or whatever is they are looking at. that was good stuff, thanks for a great record. we appreciate it.

10:20 am
threshold moment. january 21st, 2014, was the exact time we moved from being a connected society to a streaming society. i am exaggerating but give me a little poetic license. we have been in a world where everybody has computers and phones and do all these things, we have now moved into a world where we are doing multiple things simultaneously, multiple devices with multiple people not only streaming games, streaming movies, streaming games, when was the last time you went to a lunch with four five people when at any one time there wasn't somebody with their head down texting or looking something up or whatever. we are constantly communicating multiple devices, multiple people, multiple things, we are a streaming society and we don't know what that means or how it
10:21 am

10:28 am
stock is down 1%. some people think it is a buy right now. the big 3 networks can't get enough of chris christie or the scandal, so much that they covered the traffic scandal 17 times more in 24 hours than they covered the irs scandal in six months. elizabeth macdonald is with us. you brought the story about the conflict of interest in the investigation. liz: both chris christie and the president and the irs work for the u.s. taxpayer. this isn't about what is best for the political parties but what is best for taxpayers. chris christie did go through a growing yesterday and deservedly so. what we are seeing here is media stepping down and dialing back. the coverage of a serious scandal breaking out at the irs and affect all of us. stuart: chris christie at scandal was about traffic and putting the people of new jersey
10:29 am
through hell. liz: and in harm's way. ambulances needed care and the search for missing children. stuart: the irs scandal was about an administration that may have deliberately interfered with an election by manipulating government machinery. liz: wagon circling, political vendettas and enough story needs for the media to grasp t irs. stonewalling, the fbi probe results, the tea party tax info given to the sec, whether the white house got confidential taxpayer information as well. stuart: a virginia court may game changing decision ruling that yelp, a business review website, must hand over the identities of seven reviewers who anonymously left negative reviews about a business. that will inkstands, know more anonymity when making the negative review. that changes the concept.

10:37 am
specific new jersey law. the lawyer bringing the suit, bruce, welcome to the program. we are very hospitable to lawyers generally speaking. you said the new jersey statute says if you got a football game you must distribute 95% of the tickets to the general public. and use a the nfl is not doing that. >> completely ignoring it. stuart: doesn't that depend on a legal definition of what is the general public? >> absolutely not. the nfl has made available 1% of tickets to the general public which you get through a lottery system. stuart: the general public? >> the jell-o on the street, the average guy. statutes are read by plane meeting, general public means general public. you can hold 20% of tickets for the leak which they do, can't distribute 37% of the tickets to the teams are playing which they do, can't distribute 5% to the host team which they do.
10:38 am
the large majority of tickets are not available to the general public and the nfl knows that and go on the nfl site, they will link you to a secondary market seller. stuart: you cannot call this a special event and immune from the 95% general public will. >> new jersey has the most consumer friendly laws in the country, we are the only state with a 95% rule. when you have an event in new jersey you follow the law. stuart: you are suing, you say you wanted greater distribution of tickets? you won't get that because the super bowl is 2-1/2 weeks away. you get money? >> loads of money. this is about hundreds of millions of dollars. we are asking for the difference between the face value of tickets that should have been made available to the public and that which was paid in a
10:39 am
secondary -- stuart: we were told -- >> those who paid 3, 4, 5 times the face value of the secondary market because the law was broken times 3 under new jersey law. you are talking hundreds of millions of dollars. if you -- stuart: you would distribute your winnings to each and every person who attended game. because they paid over the odds because of the allocation system. >> exactly right. stuart: is it going to work? you think you will take hundreds of millions of dollars from the nfl? >> not even a question. the law is clear. liz: what does the court say about the general public? how did they define general public? >> hasn't been litigated. stuart: if you win hundreds of millions of dollars how much do you get? >> for the court to say.
10:40 am
stuart: contingency suit. >> the court sets the fees in class action. stuart: 30%. >> there is a wide range in federal court. stuart: what is the minimum? >> no such thing. liz: how are you doing that on contingency duty >> doesn't matter. liz: what is your contingency fee? >> i can't give it to you because your court sets it. liz: what is the minimum? >> depends on the work done. stuart: you know what i am getting at. you all the lawyer. you are home lawyer. you know if you win you walk away with millions and millions -- >> this case is not about me. it is about roger goodell and the lead restricting sales tickets and violating the law. it is about violation -- stuart: you know perfectly well you are going after the money. i don't blame you but you turned the legal system into a business. >> you haven't invited me on the show to skewer me. you invited me to hear about the legality of what the nfl is doing. liz: asking questions about what
10:41 am
you are taking and you won't answer. >> this case is about a restriction of tickets. this case is about a violation -- charles: your math through me off. i got a calculator and can't figure out how you get hundreds of millions. >> you get 78,000 tickets available. you have 95% rule in new jersey. you have 1% made available to the public. you have 90% of the tickets being sold in the secondary market. what does that work out to? charles: giving them to people? >> allocated to teams, teams make deals with secondary's dollars and profit --:an end on the lead website. stuart: when does the judge hear the case or hold a hearing? >> we are waiting for an initial conference. charles: you have to be so creative to come up with something like this. it is amazing. who would think about i am going to go out and the most joyous
10:42 am
day of the year everyone partying and watching the super bowl i am going to wreck this. stuart: he will make $100 million. >> i am there for the guy on the street. 95% of tickets have got to be made available. and is not. of the laid-back? charles: premiums made available. >> they are not available to the public which the law says. charles: when they seldom to secondary sellers there made available to the public. >> secondary sellers are not the public. the reasons the law was passed in new jersey ten years ago was to prevent this very act. keep the secondary market out of the game. stuart: why do i feel i have lost control? bruce, thanks for joining us, good stuff. disney radio station in cleveland using an educational program to promote oil and natural gas marketed to children. you can bet the greenies are not happy with that.
