[ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system, only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before.

stuart: i know you heard already what senator harry reid said wednesday referring to the victims of obamacare he said, quote, there are plenty of horror stories being told, all of them are untrue. it is worth repeating that the leader of the united states senate called thousands of americans liars. here is my take. that is a disgrace to the senate, harry reid jet at the very least apologize. i am sure he will not. right before the last presidential election harry reid said mitt romney hadn't paid taxes in years. that was a lot. mitt romney had paid millions.

but this fear was dropped into the election campaign and harry reid could not be held legally liable because he had said it from the protected ground of the capitol building and on wednesday he spewed his insults from the protection of the senate floor. i don't think this makes him look good. he is trying to rally the troops behind obamacare, maybe he thinks provocative language will inspire is based. i think he is wrong on both counts. democrats are running away from obamacare and if the democrats's base is women, calling them liars will not rally them to the cause. look also at what damage harry reid, debate the issues of the day. accusing cancer patients of lying goes way beyond sharp edged debate that we should have. it is a personal insult. should have no place in our politics.

a failure of the leader of the senate. on his watch america went for years without a budget and under his watch the senate passed two of the worst pieces of legislation in history, obamacare and financial reform and now he has descended to personal insults. i think it is a sign of desperation. eight months from now there is an election and democrats may lose the senate. he could lose his leadership position. when you think about it that is the only sanction that can be used against harry reid. voters depose him. he can't be held legally liable for his statements but he can be held politically accountable. that is the way things should work. he should still apologize for the gross insult he has laid on thousands of decent americans. i think the man is a disgrace. we asked people a question,

how much money do you think you'll need when u retire?

then we gave each person a ribbo to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need r a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need tapproach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ stuart: curious about a stock? yes, i know you are. we told you to tweet us. charles has a lightning round of stocks you asked about. alcatel. charles: the number one health stock in america. it had a string of missed earnings. this last quarter they doubled

what wall street that they would do. i have seen massive growth over the past five years. you can hold it for the next couple of years. it breaks out here. maybe get back to eight or nine dollars. stuart: they owned bell labs. next one, the viewers wanted to know about seed drill. charles: this is a tough one. they do drilling mostly in the ocean. they raised their dividend recently. i think they were trying to keep investors interested. $20 billion. i do not like the stock. i do not like where they are going. stuart: kite realty trust. charles: strip malls and things like that. every day we talk about rick and mortar.

i will not talk anyone out. if you are in it i would suggest using a stoploss at $5.25. the stock has been sideways. it has been sideways for years. stuart: you think it is dead money? charles: i think that it is. stuart: i have been patient with microsoft. by the way, microsoft is up today. microsoft is up 40 odd sense. thirty-eight dollars per share. why did you not recommend it? >> you will make us some money. what do they do? charles: business intelligence.

this is the third time i have mentioned this. some people on the street were not happy with it. i think that is fine. stuart: you love microsoft. charles: absolutely. i would buy that in a heartbeat. stuart: you are laughing at me. >> a recommendation. stuart: i will take it. a lot of you are really fired up about senator harry reid calling people who have come forward with obamacare horror stories, he has called them liars. >> congratulations on your new time slot. stuart: thank you. a couple extra hours in bed and i love it. you have a radio show. i know you have people with horror stories come on your show

and now they have been called liars by senator harry reid. tell us how it is. what is the horror story? >> you may have heard about julie. this lady lost her health insurance and she is on a dilemma of not knowing how she will be able to get her leukemia treated. that is one very real horror story. when she made that statement, my phone lines lit up. they called him and outrageous liar. not just a liar. and outrageous liar. we get calls all the time. they have been caught in the obamacare gap. they make too much money to get a subsidy and may make too much money to qualify for medicaid. people are desperate.

stuart: i have asked everybody this question since senator reed made that statement, why did he do it? why did he do it? intemperate language like that will not further anybody's cause or is it? >> it will not further anybody's cause. you did a great job describing that he is desperate. he knows he will not be held accountable by the media. right now, he is not being held accountable by his own democratic copy in the senate. it is your demonstration that he is calling patients liars when they know best what their situation is. stuart: another side to this coin and that is the republican side. i have not heard any republican strongly possess any of the abuse that you have, your listeners have, that i have, i have not seen a republican come forward and go after senator

reed. >> that is an excellent point. i think it is just another example that many of the republicans that are in congress today, they have no fight in them. another example is when they brought forth a proposal to reform the tax code. i want to replace it. senator mcconnell's comment was, well, it probably will not go anywhere. the american people want to see some fight in the republicans. this is another example that they are not fighting hard enough for the american people, especially the kind of language that senator reed is doing which basically insults people who have these problems. >> i was really surprised when they came out with what i think is a reaganesque tax reform proposal. lower tax rates and cut out a lot of deductions. get the money flowing.

get the growth going. that is fewer reagan. i was surprised that no one jumped on board. this is what worked. we will carry prosperity into the elections. prosperity in 2016. i did not hear that. >> stuart, i was disappointed with speaker boehner. he immediately poured cold water on it. i was disappointed with the minority leader, mitch mcconnell. he said it was not going anywhere. the calls that i got from many of my listeners, where is the fight in these people? even though they do not control the senate, they should fight to get it as far as they can take it in order to inspire the american public. right now, just as you have indicated, the american electorate is not inspired, especially not only because of the damage that is being done by the democrats that but the lies,

deception and deceit and also because of the lack of fight on the part of the republicans hat are currently in congress. stuart: you are very popular with our viewers. >> with this new time slot, stuart, i will be back. stuart: good stuff, sir. does it feel a bit like 1999 all over again? is this a tech bubble that may be about to burst? stay right there. the real halftime report is coming up. on that subject. ♪ [ indistinct shouting ] ♪
