1:24 pm
passed. think again. janice dean is in the weather center. i would imagine there is some snow with this. >> you got it. winter is not done yet, my friend. very cold. not as cold as always saw in early january. certainly, it dangerous wind chills in effect. the cold air will continue to sink southward and eastward. as i mentioned, not as cold as the first week or two in january, but we are still dealing with dangerous wind chills. we have these quick moving clippers systems. sometimes they strengthen as they come off the coast. that is exactly what we think will happen tomorrow. we could get three to 6 inches

1:26 pm
adam: thank you very much, janice. lori: that weather can certainly cause headaches if you are traveling by air. higher airfares, that is a nightmare. airfare up 12% last year since the recession lows of 2009. our next guest says things are looking even worse for folks in this new year. rick, thank you so much for joining us. what is driving airfare higher? what is your take? >> you mentioned several of them. a lot of them have to do with persistent higher fuel prices. you also have demand being pretty good. we are sort of sliding out of the recession. we are down 12% on the number of seats before prerecession. not any more capacity. no empty seats.
1:27 pm
all of that pressure is for higher prices. airlines try to hike fares 12 times last year with almost no success. people just do not have any money to fill up every empty seat. lori: the average domestic round-trip ticket price is $363. do you agree with that figure? >> that is pretty close. i would agree a. lori: what about those annoying fees? these were extraordinarily luggage. how about that? >> i will not see a lot of increases in those numbers, i do not think.
1:28 pm
those are the big revenue generators for airlines. i do not see prices going to $60 round-trip. what i do see happening this year is we love to hate these fees. airlines know we don't want them so they will take three of them, package them together and then did discount them and sell them to us. you will see a lot of this discounting going on. lori: sneaky. what is your best advice for finding the best, cheapest, best deal in airfare? >> it is super simple, really. shop one day earlier. our data shows the perfect time to start shopping for domestic travel is three months. for international travel, about five months. tuesday wednesday and saturday are the cheapest days to fly.
1:29 pm
almost two thirds of all sales occur on monday night. all the other airlines scramble to match in the morning. lori: that is fantastic information. buy your plane tickets. thank you so much. adam: said nfl number one defense will battle the number one offense. the championship bowl game. it will be a super one. lori: maybe the town that is even more excited than seattle and denver, omaha. why when peyton manning wins, omaha wins. how the city is giving back after patent shout out. ♪

lori: president obama clearing the air with thoughts on marijuana use. in an interview with the new yorker, president obama said quote, as well-documented i did smoke pot as a kid. i view it as bad habit and vice. not different than the cigarettes i smoked as a young person. adam: he still smokes cigarettes, doesn't he? i thought he quit? lori: on the down low. adam: michelle would knock him silly. lori: i don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. recreational marijuana use remains illegal under federal law but obama's administration has given states to experiment with pot regulation. the president supports legalization efforts by colorado and washington state to go forward is he is the president
1:34 pm
who inhailed. the other one didn't. we want to be fair. two states where marijuana is legal, colorado and washington, their teams are headed to the super bowl. marijuana has nothing to do with the super bowl but the denver broncos and seattle seahawks are headed to new jersey for super bowl xlviii. fox sports 1 nnl insider joins us from the denver broncos training facility. welcome to you. i have to believe a lot of people are very excited for peyton manning? >> i'm sure the nfl is excited anytime you get a matchup like this against a team already started yapping in the seattle seahawks and a premier quarterback in peyton manning. i think we'll do fine on fox with our ratings come super bowl sunday. lori: day after yesterday's game, everybody is talking about robert sherman and crabtree and that whole dust-up and sherman comments to a sideline reporter being a little bit, bombastic. how would you describe sherman's
1:35 pm
behavior yesterday? >> typical i know richard sherman very well. i covered him all year long. i looe the fact we got a guy doesn't say things like, they gave their best effort, they're a good team, they get paid too. i thought in the tradition what muhammad ali said years ago. i'm fine with it. pumping yourself up there. all in the name of sportsmanship all these things. he didn't cross any lines to me. that is typical richard sherman. again it is refreshing. >> richard sherman. i think i said robert. apologize for that. how do you think he will match up against demarius thomas, the broncos receiver who is also exceptional? >> interesting you say that. typically the seahawks play their cornerbacks one side to the other side. will they match up on a different receiver? not usually. from time to time he will see him. that is a great matchup.
1:36 pm
big cornerback with size and thomas a great receiver with size. interesting to see how the seahawks play. i don't want to get two xs and opts, they play zone coverage. against the peyton manning you want to try to play man coverage. it will be good matchup between a good pass defense and arguably the best quarterback in the league. adam: when this game goes on february 2nd, denver or seattle take off or will be their game for four quarters or will this be head-to-head all four quarters? >> no, i think it will be a close game. got an offense in the broncos, should seattle score will play -- excuse me denver is playing dwell defensively. early in the season was the defense good enough? they showed in last couple weeks, i don't see any reason why this would ablow out,
1:37 pm
especially an early blow out. lori: go ahead. adam: does peyton manning retire after he get as super bowl ring? lori: comparisons to elway in denver. about the same age. >> a little bit. a little bit but i don't think so. i think he still wants to play a couple more seasons. again, peyton manning lost a season to a neck injury. didn't know if he would ever play again. barring some kind of a health concern, he gets checked up every year, actually in the contract. he gets the neck checked up every year. barring a health situation i see him coming back whether he wins or loses. adam: mike, thank you very much. be sure to tune in for the broncos-seahawks super bowl xlviii on sunday, february 2nd. kickoff, 6:30 p.m. eastern on fox. lori: who are you rooting for? adam: denver. are you really going for seattle. lori: if you're going foreseen very, might as well. adam: you can go to for denver. i want peyton manning to get another super bowl ring. lori: that is kind.

another city that is thrilled, omaha, nebraska, every time, he does this, peyton manning shouted omaha at the line of jimmage. eight omaha-based companies donated whopping 2,407,800 to peyton manning's foundation. the ceo joins us now on the telephone to talk about. of the welcome to you, so great to have you, david. why do you think peyton manning uses the word omaha to call out audibles? >> he gave a great explanation the other day that essentially said nothing. i think it is a word that is distinctive because there is not many omahas. i think its something easy to say and rolls off the tongue. so i think he got used to doing it over the years. we've been fortunate it has taken off the way it has this year. lori: eight omaha companies decided to donate 100 bucks, grand total of 25 grand to
1:39 pm
charity. whose idea was that? talk about the evolution of this idea? >> we gain ad good bit of note right i guess from peyton, particularly in the first playoff game you could hear him use omaha 44 times very clearly. it was something that was getting more and more people talking about omaha outside of football. and so we wanted to try and continue the buzz about that and also kind of say thank you. thought maybe the best way to do that would be something to help one of peyton's charities. and the foundation is good way and companies jumped on board quickly. lori: fortune 500 companies are based there in omaha. do you think the national recognition will draw more business and more people to your fine city. >> i hope so. a challenge for us and other cities is make sure you stand out from the crowd. we're trying to attract great young professionals. and really great businesses. we have a diverse economy and all kind of jobs available.
1:40 pm
we're a great city. this is one more way to raise recognition in people's minds. omaha is one of those places people consider for a job, family or investment. we're hopeful it is one of those things that adds to the mystique a bit. lori: david, what kinds of jobs are open in omaha? there is as you know a nationwide jobs crisis going on? >> we have 3.6% unemployment in omaha. there are jobs available from welders and electricians to programmers and actuaries and engineers. and we're across across the boar employers are looking for really good, talented people. lori: tell me why you think omaha is doing so much better than the average national city with its economy and unemployment? >> we have a very diverse economy with five or six key components to it all which did relatively well during the recession. our financial institutionings never got into risky real estate transactions. we didn't have the prime market% challenges a lot of financial institutions had across the
1:41 pm
country. our real estate values are steady growth. we never saw the feast or famine that we saw in the markets where the housing markets were challenged. we have a stable economy. we have a stable, diverse economy. a very high quality of life and lo cost of living. so all those things combine make us a really good place during the recession whether the recession was on or not. lori: thanks for joining us. all the best to you. we'll listen to peyton to call omaha on audibleses. >> open you haw, omaha. lori: we'reekeeping your city and want to mention this as well in our thoughts as we follow latest news of a plant explosion, happening in south-central omaha. we do have new pictures. the omaha police department tweeting out, this is the very latest from the scene. you see emergency vehicles there. we will continue to follow the story and bring you the very latest when we get it. adam: $80,000, the smallest movie budget of all time, not maybe all time but could be all

1:59 pm
fingers at the boomers. tracy: hmmm. fans are pointing fingers at their favorites for super bowl champ. is it denver or seattle? we'll tell you why the bulls of wall street are pulling for the seahawks. maybe for the sake of your portfolio. ashley: how about the jettison's generation, the drrverless cars, google glass. we debate the pros and cons turning into a such a sci-fi society. tracy: too many electric cars, not enough charging spots. i knew this would happen, whatever are the people of silicon valley to do, all those people driving around in teslas? we'll fill you in on the escalating problem of charge rage. ashley: charge rage. longest extension cord wins. >> exactly. 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 years old every day for the next two decades. will the boom in retirees cause a bust in the stock market as people cash out their retimed
2:00 pm
holdings? a lot of people have been @alking about this for a while now. these guys will be broke. they haven't prepared properly and cash out and buy a trailer and go live off in the sunset. >> well, you know the eeyores of pessimism i have call them are always looking for another reason to have a market bust just around the corner but on a closer look at the 10,000 who are turning 65 every day, i think it will give us a clearer picture of exactly what we're looking at in the future. just, as you mentioned, baby boomers are 20-year generation. eeeryone born between 1946 and 1964. this is a pretty long time period. it is 20 years. and so anybody between the age of 49 today and 67 is considered a baby boomer. so any given year for the next 20 years, only about 5% of the baby boomers will be retiring.
2:01 pm
so, that isn't a giant event, one-time event that is going to cause a rapid selloff in the market. the second thing to look at when we look at the 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day is that overseas investors are becoming more and more a part of the u.s. stock market. tracy: yeah. >> so for example, in 1980, 6% of all stocks, u.s. stocks, were owned by foreign investors. by 2012, it was 21%. so this trend will continue. the growing global middle class is going to diversify their stock holdings like we do here by buying foreign stocks which for them will be american stocks. ashley: george? >> yes. ashley: i want to interrupt you to get to a point is there any relationship between percentage
2:02 pm
of population 65 and older and level of stock returns? i don't think there is, is there? >> there isn't. historically there is no relationship. demographics is such a slow-moving component of an economy that it can't possibly be related to what we often see as dramatic changes in the stock market returns from one year to the next. tracy: i think what is really interesting too, the richest 20% own 90% of the stocks out there. that seems pretty obvious. 1% owning up the stock market. why do these eeyores as you call them, come front and center and say, hey, watch out, the sky is going to fall? >> you have to answer that because i have no idea why pessimism is such a popular topic among financial journalism. 10,000 people turning 65 a day is a big number but when you look at that 10,000, they actually, when we look at them, 500 of them, the richest 500 own 77% of all the stocks owned by
2:03 pm
baby boomers. the richest 10% own 88% of all the stocks owned by baby boomers. i don't think anybody is worried about the richest 10% of baby boomers, whether or not they will be able to fund their retirement. the reality most of these people will not have to sell their stocks to fund their retirement. ashley: yeah. >> they will use them in charitable bequests or multigenerational wealth transfers. they will be able to transfer the stocks to their heirs, if they're held in non-qualified accounts, capital gains will never be taxed. this is what will most likely happen because most baby boomers who ownnstocks will keep them for the long haul. ashley: george, who says they will retire anyway? i mean, isn't there a percentage of these people that will carry on working? >> well, you know, in the studio here there is quite a few baby boomers. i told them what i was going to speak about they talked about retiring but looked at me like a dog at a new dish because that is true. 65, there is nic day when
2:04 pm
you turn 65 where you turn the switch, now you don't work anymore. this is not our parents retirement. we'll enter retirement with a completely different view what we're going to do, over next what could be a 30-year retirement. i think people will work longer. they will kind of work fewer hours. they will kind of slowly enter a time where they're not working as much. but the idea that the baby boomer generation, most whom work in the private sector and have no defined benefit pension plans, just stopping working the day they turn 65 is just an archaic idea. it will just not happen. tracy: that generation is considered the sandwich generation, smacked between kids in college, parents still really old. the good news, george, i guess we'll be okay. market will not fall when these people start retiring. george, thank you so much for being with us, sir. >> thank you. i enjoyed it. ashley: all right, supposed to be a breakout year for the economy but weak earnings forecasts from discounters to
2:05 pm
designers as well as many other retail companies have some experts worried that the consumer rebound, well, it is falling flat. peter barnes joins us now with the latest. peteer? >> hey, ashley. that's right. many economists think the economy is poised to take off this year but one analyst says, they may be wrong because of weak earnings and warnings from some retailers. two prominent consensus forecasts from blue chip economic indicators in the national association for business economics see gdp hitting 2.8% this year, up from about 2.2% last year. and some economists expect growth to top 3% this year, maybe more. but, brian sazi of bellus capital advisors says weak warnings from retailers that serve middle and lower income families like family dollar, zumiez, express, and american eagle suggest many consumers are still watching their pennies and consumer spending as you know,
2:06 pm
makes up 2/3 of the economy. >> the high-end consumer is skewing gdp data. they're skewing what is happening out there in the malls. when you cut to the heart of the retail sales data and talk to middle income consumer, say earning $100,000 a year and less in pretax income, they are struggling. they're still having to make tough decisions on what to buy. >> now the commerce department reported that retail sales excluding car sales rose to a seasonally adjusted $350 billion in december. that was an all-time high! but he also says that weak wage growth and slow growth in credit card debt suggest as less than booming economy this year. he expects walmart to warn on earnings when it reports next month. ashley. ashley: very interesting. peter barnes, thanks so much. >> you bet. ashley: well, crackdown. the department of justice collecting a record number of fines in 2013. we'll have a live report from our nation's capitol what has

businesses and what they have to fear. tracy: spot this. the new strategy spotify is implementing to compete with beats music. will it be enough? ashley: of course today we remember the work of civil rights leader martin luther king. he would have turned 85 this month. dr. king received the nobel peace prize in 1964. he was then assassinated four years later. one of king's daughters, bernice king, putting out a call to make today no shots fired today, to support king's enduring fest at thatment and of non-violence. the president and his daughter sasha visited a d.c. kitchen for their day of service project. we'll be right back. ♪ [ tires screech ]

2:11 pm
the $13 billion hit jpmorgan agreed to. the government is collecting record fines from businesses especially banks. and greater focus in larger crimes mean businesses can expect to continue to face these billion dollar fines. >> the cases are getting bigger. so when you focus on financial services company and talk about conduct that affected millions upon billions of transactions by the financial services company, when you talk about the fine and levying the fine, the volume of commerce with the department is looking to sanction them for is huge. that is why you get a huge fine at the end of it. >> the justice department's antitrust division collected more than a billion dollars in fines last year for the second straight year and third time in five years. and antitrust penalties are increasing worldwide. the european union collected more than double the u.s. in antitrust fines. china, brazil, taiwan, and japan fined businesses nearly a quarter of a billion dollars each. meanwhile companies are facing more in fines from multiple

with all the scandals, who can hack and where is the information going. we have to be concerned about that. you may have enp and we lose access to the different sensors how do we live our lives. ashley: that is good point. we talk about jobs all the time. are these machines ultimately going to cost us a lot of jobs? >> it depends what sector you're in. if you're in the tech space you will be getting a lot more jobs, especially i.t. security. a lot of people will be investing or companies investing money to try to protect these different devices. you have you have automotive or autonomous cars that will drive themselves. you might see people lose jobs such as valets. and you try to car and someone parks itself automatically might eliminate the job. ashley: eliminate the tip. >> absolutely. tracy: to many people are worried that we'll become brain-dead but this stuff actually helps us. i see it at home. my kid has a question about, you know, asteroids in space and

up. by using targets on server, own computer system. tracy: it took so long to figure this out. liz: four weeks. they upload that information from the server to a website, and now according to what we are hearing from law enforcement, watch what happens next. cyber thieves in russia download the data from the website. they are in russia during this period this is how this could have unfolded. this is a theory gaining a lot of credibility in security circles and this is possibly ow it happened at target and also the other thing-- ashley: so there is a russian connection. liz: we reported that a month ago that russia was a center of concern. the neiman marcus hack appears
2:46 pm
to be separate from the target hack. this could be happening as we speak. liz: the firewall was easily breached at target, and that is not a good thing. tracy: elizabeth macdonald all over this stuff. ashley: there is evidence high octane excesses of use and partying displayed in the movie "the wolf of wall street" is coming back. we're joined by the ceo of new point academy who says his drug addiction treatment centers have had waiting lists for the past year. thank you for being here. we made the correlation between what we saw in "the wolf of wall street" and what was going on and that kind of culture. is that a very real culture coming back as some say, or did it ever really go away?
2:47 pm
>> it probably didn't go away completely but as you see the market doing really, really well and a lot more disposable income in wall street and finance, the ability to access instructions if you would, alcohol, whatever you want, it becomes a lot easier to do. at the touch of a button, pretty much. ashley: you say one of the victims of this that nobody really thinks about are the children of the people who are doing this. how do they become victims? >> i am a product of a banker who work 80 hours per week and was showing love through material objects. substance abuse. not in my family. i myself did turn to substance abuse and i am in long-term recovery now, so what we see our parents indulge in themselves and ignoring their kids, parenting through buying material objects as opposed to companionship and other types of
2:48 pm
real unconditional love, they're showing love through buying the objects. kids feel that, they reach out themselves. at newport academy we have existed for over five years any given time 25% of the competition was from the new england area. we came out here in western connecticut, we do see so many kids from executives. ashley: these are the kids of wealthy parents who have succumbed to the scenario you just put out. you say there are waiting lists. >> we have had a waiting list for over a year. it doesn't discriminate based on demographics, but wil would be l have more disposable income, or access to drugs, on "the wolf of wall street" one thing i particularly liked was the little honesty about the prescription pill. the largest increase the kind
2:49 pm
any drug sector. cocaine is to use a lot, but more and in the film it was lude. i have a lot of friends that 30s and 40s who work on wall street and if they don't use adderall, they cannot keep up. i see guys and girls who have never use adderall until they got to wall street and started working and all of their peers are taking it. that is what we see typically the first drug of choice among teenagers is adderall. a prescription painkiller or antidepression. ashley: hopefully the message is getting out there. >> thank you so much. tracy: the clutter filling up your inbox. google force-feed user adds they don't even ask for. damage control ahead. ashley: one of america's
2:50 pm
favorite products on the hot seat. a velveeta recall. we have the cheesy story.

ashley: damage control, google trying to quell user outcry from the chrom chrome browser. >> in the good old days google was a search ompany selling ads, then google got too big for his britches. it became a video company with youtube and software company with android, smartphone company by buying motorola and a retailer with google's web store. and the weekend backlash, google posted a couple of add-on extensions for the chrome web browser.
2:54 pm
software interacts with the main browser to add extra bells and whistles. extensions are made by outside software developers must follow policies. these add-ons, may violate google's own rules by serving up all kinds of clutter on web streams on the business instead of sticking to the agreed-upon spaces on the right-hand side of the webpage, they started showing up almost anywhere they wanted on screen. yet google posted these two items without checking them at all. the hazard of the business. now with hundreds of thousands of software products made by outsiders. you have to fix it when somebody grapes. 100,000 people downloaded the extensions. there outcry was fierce and in this era of online outrage and social media a few thousand angry customers took to twitter can hurt you. but watch for this ad on ad to
2:55 pm
increase. more firms are offering payments for the secret ad code in the product so it isn't going away although the two extensions taken down by google, guys. ashley: they are the lifeblood. tracy: how about that. say that at home all the time. now to the cheesy story we told you. nearly 2 million pounds of velveeta cheesy skillet dinners are being recalled over packaging mishap. the latest on the 9-ounce ultimate cheeseburger meals don't list soy which is a known allergen. producers caught the mistake and reported it the department of of agricultural food, safety inspection service, but don't worry if you need your liquid
2:56 pm
gold fix, no other velveeta products were impacted which is good news for nachos everywhere. two weeks from yesterday. tracy: jeff flock said there was no shortage. i think cbs carries velveeta. coming up on "markets now." sandra smith will have all the ways you can play retail stocks to get the most bang for your buck. coming up, don't go anywhere.
