in anticipation in wait and see mode. after four days of gains. ashley, what do you think about all this? ashley: it is interesting. off the board a little bit but not a correction according to our analysts. sounds like a great show, melissa. take it away. melissa: absolutely. thank you so much. all right let's go right to peter barnes on the breaking news. peteer? >> hey, melissa, a break-even month in january for the federal government, about break even. the treasury department just report ad small deficit for january of 10 bill dollars. that compares to a small $3 billion surplus last year when higher income and payroll taxes kicked in as you recall but the bigger picture is fiscal year-to-date, the first four months started october 1st. the deficit continuing to shrink to 114 billion, compared to 290 billion in the same period a year ago. that is a reduction of more than $100 billion year-over-year, helped by higher tax revenues from both individuals and

corporations, from the higher rates and the improving economy with more jobs. more people paying into the treasury. and the government's expenses were down 3% for the period as it continues, among other things, to operate under the sequester spending cuts. melissa, back to you. melissa: peter, thanks so much. let's take a look how the markets are reacting to all this news as we said. we're having a pretty mellow day in the markets versus what we've seen past four days. the big surge. the dow is read down by proctor & gamble. down 20 points. s&p 500, basically break even, a little bit in positive territory. nasdaq up 1/3 of 1%. go to jo ling kent who is standing by with some of the biggest movers. what are you watching? >> we're watching tech stocks, three of them actually. fireeye, feye. look at that, cloud computing security vendor. they're down 11.3%.

essentially they beat in the quarter for expectations but pout put out a poor quarter for quarter one. shutterfly, the photo sharing service around helps you print mugs and calendars. they are up 3.5%. they announced a increase of share buyback program up to $100 million. good news for shareholders. look at nokia. they're down allost 3% right now. they're having a major setback in india in a tax battle. essentially they're being held up on a decision that has not been made in their favor. 30,000 employees and factory, manufacturing center there is in question. it may be in jeopardy of closing. they're appealing that to a higher court. but nokia shares dropping on the news out of india. melissa? melissa: jo, thanks so much. >> thanks. melissa: the smart card revolution is finally coming to the u.s., buu will it be enough to stop rampant hacking that plagued consumers for the past several months? mastercard is one of the

companies leading charge toward chip panned pin technology. their smart card expert joins me now. a lot of criticism on this out of the gate, that it protects people in person but not online. how do you respond to that? what do you think? >> sure. so first thanks for having me. chip and pin has been proven to dramatically reduce counterfeit fraud around the world and ai said significantly reduce it. it does primarily protect the consumer face-to-face but there are other processes that can be employed to present fraud as well. the card companies and companies and banks and merchants are working together to make that reality screw talk about how it is proven around the world and we heard a lot about that and it has been in europe a long time and made great strides there. why are we so late to the game and is europe doing something else we should jump ahead to that technology and instead of lagging? >> there is no leapfrogging. the reason u.s. didn't my great earlier and other markets had

higher fraud rates and strategies here were under control and it is now time for chip in the u.s. and it primarily fraud rates were in other markets they went before juice is there something we should be looking at? what is the future? what is a after chip and pin? >> there is no silver bullet of fraud and there will be myriad of technologies used together. there is no silver bullet they're working on that we're not. melissa: is it hard to do without a nationwide standard? looks like credit card companies and some banks are trying to do it individually to move ahead. dodo you need a national standad to say everyone must do this? >> there is a coordination that's happening and for instance, mastercard is leading that. what woe do we introduce liability shifts. which incent the banks and the merchants to enable approximately at the same time. the way that works is, at a point in time, whomever is not enabled with chip will bear the liability of any resulting fraud that time for the u.s. is

october 2015. melissa: what about vendors that don't have it? i think about all the little convenience stores and this and that and coffee stands? if you go in and have chip and pin, they don't individual you will still have magnetic strip on back, right? >> that's right. melissa: seems like danger is still in place. you still have magnetic strip and still open to fraud? >> the magnet trick stripe will exist for a while. that is really you indicate for utility. so the consumer has the ability to use their card anywhere that they're at. there are other fraud systems running just as you see today. you probably received a call from your bank saying that they received something out of -- those fraud systems will run. at some point we see extinction of the mack nettic stripe. melissa: some say there should be confirmation every time and daily, transaction. to check in with consumers so you've been hacked. is something like that realistic. >> we don't think so. there has to be fit for purpose

solutions in the market. while we want to employ the highest type of security and we will, we also want consumers to be able to transact seamlessly. melissa: yeah. >> so use cases will vary across the market. we don't want to interrupt transactions every time to confirm security. certainly when you're buying a cup of coffee or a newspaper. melissa: yeah. caroline, thanks so much for coming on. >> sure. melissa: appreciate it. let's get reaction from self-proclaimed hacker and director of services at io active. what did you think of what you just heard? >> well, melissa, mastercard and credit card companies are on the right way. i do have to disagree a little bit with the forward-looking statement and leapfrogging. the rest of the world basically dod. c and p years ago. it shows in terms of what hackers are targeting. it is very easy to target retailers and brick-and-mortar

shops. melissa: ian, is there something europe is working on we should be jumping ahead to? >> there are several techniques and technologies in place. you mentioned before verification. it doesn't really have to interrupt the transaction per se -- melissa: how would it work? >> for example when i swipe my card at starbucks i want to get notification that you spent $2.50. it doesn't have to actually interfere with the transaction. on the same note, if i make a purchase online and buy $500 xbox on ebay i want to have that interruption. if it is my transaction i can control it. if someone else is doing i want to stop it. melissa: seems like that would be pretty easy if you got a text or email every time your credit card was used. i'm surprised we're not doing that already? >> it should be. again, depending on acquirer, depending on bank you can get many so of those features. you can look, for example, at google wallet who has a physical credit card/debit card of their

product. you get a verification, notification every time you use it. melissa: in the meantime it does seem like we're getting chip and pin. does it slow down transactions? i mean i'm thinking about, when i get breakfast or coffee in the morning i swipe so quickly and run. i don't even have to sign any longer. everybody in front of me has to stop and punch in a pin code, will that slow me down? >> not really. not really. depends on consumer education. you will get used to punching into your pin code as the barista is making coffee. it shouldn't introduce any delays. melissa: do you think this is even worth doing? you kind of poked holes in security -- >> absolutely. melissa: it is? >> i think it is critical. but on the same note it is also critical to seize this opportunity and not just implement emv as a minimal standard. we have the opportunity to do catch-up, with what the rest of the world is doing. we need to look up to europe. there when chip and pin, emv was

implemented, fraud basically shifted instantly from card present transactions to card non-present transactions. we have to get prepared for that. we have to in my mind what security for credit card transactions should look like. melissa: i guess. if we're not getting rid of the magnetic stripe because it has to be on there for retailers with not the right technology seems like we have still big problems. >> absolutely. melissa: thanks for coming on. up next, icahn on apple. the billionaire investor thinks the stock is undervalued. he is not selling anytime soon. oh, and he thinks the market is on heroin. we'll tell you about that one as well. plus the robots are coming. google secretly working on a creepy android army. it is creepy, right? i don't like the look of that thing. it has enlisted the help of scandal-ridden fox con as well. big story. coming right up.

kyle harrington. thanks to both of you guys for joining us. you know, so apple shares fell off a cliff at end of january. carl icahn had thoughts on value get reaction on other sight. >> battle is won and you leave with a tidy profit. some are saying it will be half a billion when all sad and done? >> i'm not going anywhere. i'm not leaving. i haven't sold one share, nor do i intend to, apple is one of the cheapest stocks around and i have said that, tim cook and i agree on that, very undervalued. >> even 530 bucks it is still cheap to you? >> yeah. melissa: we have year-to-date chart. jason, do you agree with that. s apple cheap? would you get in here? >> i agree with uncle carl. i'm a big fan of his reasoning. even from an objective standpoint, hype of carl ion kahn being involved not with standing one of my favorite

ratios is the price to earning growth ratio. anything above one is typically stocks a week. apple is .64, price to earnings growth ratio. the key with apple, obviously again, it is old news but steve jobs is gone. we need to see more innovation. this is innovation and china mobile partnership, i love, china's numbers were awesome today. imports increased. exports increased. china is not over. could be beginning and that way we see apple up to new highs. melissa: kyle that is huge i have if they continue to innovate, if we see new products do you believe in that? >> everybody has their own individual risk tolerance. i'm not here to recommend in general, apple. but i can tell you this. this is a company that, i agree with jason, from a technological innovation perspective since the passing of steve jobs, you know, i think the jury is out here whether or not they can continue

along the path of the innovation that they once had. let's face it. i mean it has been, you know, miraculous what jobs has done and the products are fascinating. i, i think that that is exactly what the institutional and retail marketplace, individual investor, is looking for. melissa: yeah. okay. dow rallying almosthundred points yesterday. we had, i mean we've had a four-day rally. today we're sort of holding steady. uncle carl thinks there are drugs involved in this. let's listen. >> what you were saying about the federal reserve and stimulus variety, a lot of people said last year's heady advances were sort of built on air. do you buy that? >> yes, i do. i think that a lot of the heady advances it is like having a patient, and giving the patient a new kind of medicine and nobody, including, and i think bernanke did a great job by the way. i'm not faulting bernanke. i think he saved the country but

right now, i think this whole injection of capital is giving somebody sort of like heroin. you don't know what it will do to them. melissa: kyle, i love that. bernanke did a great job. he got us all addicted to heroin. now here we are. i think, melissa, that you know, i agree with carl on both points, actually. melissa: really? are you additioned to heroin? >> no. melissa: no? >> no. that i'm not. melissa: okay. >> but i can tell you i agree with him in the sense that last year's marketplace was a fed of had inflated marketplace. now, having said that the position that ben bernanke was in with respect to the, economy -- melissa: whatever. that is not going to help us and we have to exit. everyone says that he did such a fantastic job. we were going to hell in hand basket? who cares we're now addicted to heroin. jason, give me your last thought. >> completely disagree. i feel very adamant about this.

i think it is poor taste and bad example from a intellectual capacity. it is not a good example. heroin debilitates the user of heroin. you don't go to work. you don't hang out with your family. you don't do anything productive. you're done when on heroin. melissa: market is hanging out with its family, it's okay? >> the market had a day in the park on sunday afternoon. 80 degrees. market near all-time highs. melissa: all-time highs. no pun intended. >> exactly. melissa: exactly. thanks for coming on. we appreciate your time. >> thank you, melissa. melissa: coming up. stop the spying! millions of interusers joining forces against online snooping. reddit cofounder is here to tell us how he had enough the nsa surveillance and the president signs an order to raise minimum wage for some workers just as new study shows one in three people dipped in and out of poverty in the past few years.

cheryl: this is a live shot of the president on the screen taking things into his own hands, about to sign executive orders to increase minimum wage for government contract workers, $10.10 an hour. some shocking stats at the same time this is coming out from the census bureau reporting saying that one in three americans get into poverty at one point in between 2009-2011. one in three. a few number. fox news contributor steve more, economic policy institute kristin dorsey in the wall street journal, thanks to all three of you for joining us. steve, let me start with you. what do you think about this? he is raising the minimum wage, saying that this is a living

wage but if you at that and lucky enough to get 40 am ten we're all 52 weeks and then take a minute off, you are still learning $21,000 a year. i don't know. if you have a family that is poverty line anyway. >> very few people in the minimum-wage are heads of house will. that is a false argument elect makes. you can't raise a family on minimum-wage. not many people do. what i find exemption noble to this executive order by the president is we have a $5 billion deficit right now. all of this, who's going to pay for this? federal contracts are more expensive and when we are running massive budget deficits why would we make federal contracts more expensive? cheryl: great point. how do you respond to that? we started with a new budget that said we are spending more than we are taking in and here is a new order to spend e

more than we are taking in. >> not exactly. lots of studies have been done on municipal contract with living wage conditions put into them and we found they have not raise the cost of those contracts from any discernible level and the same will likely be true on the federal level. remember employers who are currently paying their workers above the minimum wage do not bid on federal contracts. liz: you lose the living wage freeze, at $21,000 a year is not a living wage? this doesn't get you to where you can support a family anyway. >> in minimum-wage is not a living wage. they are two concepts. it is the wage floor and the wage floor is a critically important in an economy where workers don't have equal power with employers. it is not a livable wage. that is something altogether different as many communities no. liz: how do you respond to that. >> executive order is largely symbolic because the government tends to overpay for services, they don't have a lot of people

making that wage now and so as far as taxpayers i'm not sure this is a huge hit to the extent that it does -- liz: it bombs of everybody on the wrong and everybody out there got a pay raise that works as a contract worker. >> assuming they are below 10-10 now but to the extent budgets are finite and we see this in private markets, you are denied again opportunity to some persons that wants to start at entry-level and the key point is not only are a lot of these low-wage workers in households where they are not the only breadwinner, there's a tremendous economic -- people dipping into poverty. people don't stay there but make it harder for them to move, and the price of hiring people. >> half of the families in poverty don't have anybody working. zero workers. those are people who are out of

the work force altogether. to christian's point we have stuff, we have a federal superminimum-wage, they do inflate the cost of federal contracts and make it more expensive for the federal department to do business. it affects workers to make these contracts more expensive. melissa: we have a problem, one in three between 2009-2011 dipped into poverty is the battering number. a third of the population. how do we fix that. them or raising the minimum wage is not the way, we need to grow the economy. >> the minimum wages often confided as a poverty reduction tool. it is just a component of an overall strategy to reduce poverty, not the only thing. the minimum wage is about labor standards and labor conditions but as to your point, out the fact the we have people cycling into poverty, a high rate of the population proves that the tools we are using to combat poverty are not sufficient.

economic growth is the key. >> why not a $100 minimum wage? if washington can wave a wand and make us more valuable as employees? melissa: then we would have three government employees. thanks to all thrre of view, we appreciate it. let's take a look at the markets and show you what is going on out there. you see the dow trading lower, started at the top of the hour, trading down 20 points and down 1/4%, the biggest drag procter and gamble, caterpillar and the opposite direction. you cds and the turning negative as well slightly lower. tech is trading higher. just barely. taking the bond future wages some folks out there are so sure of their earnings potential they are promising investors a piece of the pie. if the investors pay off their student debt now our next guest is that. and an interesting that at the
