global warming takes the lead. amazon sued. they eliminated the shipping price. is priceline a technology company? there is a reason why we are asking. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ stuart: it is a mystery. the mystery surrounding that mythical malaysian airline defense. the jet may have been flying for up to four hours after it was last heard from. malaysians denied that result. they checked a spot where chinese satellite image showed possible debris. they found nothing. so here's the bottom line, we are six days in, no wreckage, no debris, no signals and a lot of contradictory results.

monica crowley is with us. this is open season for conspiracy theorist, isn't it? monica: absolutely. a plane disappears, vanishes out of midair. planes do not do that. these are huge double-decker airplanes. the fact there is no debris field anywhere to be found. this report from the chinese about the satellite picture is three days old. there is a strong current in that area. they will have to expand beyond that. the idea this just disappeared. could it have been hijacked? by then we would have known where it had landed. stuart: i don't like them, don't deal with conspiracy theorist he had but this time around the conspiracy theories seem to be more legitimate than any idea it crashed in the jungle or under the sea. monica: that is because there is no explanation, no witnesses for a fireball in the sky or a missile launched. wouldn't we know if it had landed somewhere?

went some air traffic control report an unidentified airplane had landed with it was pakistan, india or wherever? stuart: you would think. monica: to lose this many people without any sign of life anywhere. stuart: there was concern the transponder was diverted for another purpose. there are all these reports coming in, but something is going on that we don't know about. monica: the fact they are all theories, i heard he thought the fact the transponder immediately went off that was some sort of catastrophic event. some sort of explosion or mechanical failure, that it wasn't turned off by human beings. again, we have no way of knowing until we find that black box. stuart: it is a dominating news story because we don't know and there is no rational explanation. monica: and it plays in all of

our fears. the idea this could happen to us is scary to sp had stuart: it is a mystery we have to look at. stay right there. so far for going upscale. bringing back the home goods section. affordable no-frills grants. charles payne is here. this seems to be on doing what ron johnson did back in the day trying to revolutionize jcpenney. charles: he tried to make jcpenney into apple. he just completely angered all the traditional jcpenney shoppers. he really tried to turn the industry upside down on its ear. they know what works. i admit this guy was the last few years at jcpenney at the helm, things got a little shaky but through retailer who understands what is going on. stuart: you are not buying jcpenney. you are not selling it.

charles: it is up 100% from its low. i like what they are doing. stuart: thank you. two items from amazon. they are raising the price of a prime membership to $99 from the current $79. the first increase since the service was introduced nine years ago. i say this is good for amazon stock because it brings in more revenue. you say what? charles: absolutely. we have to get from the revenue lines to the earnings line. two weeks ago from a standpoint put a strong sell on them, wall street wants to see them make a little bit of money. fantastic growth story. stuart: all the money they make the put back into the business. one more on amazon, we have to go lawsuits which accuse amazon accusing vendors to raise prices on free shipping items. so it is not really free. this is all about amazon prime

and the free shipping that comes with it. i see this as a tempest in a teacup. amazon is huge so they will be nick picked to death. charles: they will be nick picked to death. they don't have to seduce me into doing that. i'm going to take the initiative to do that on my own. we can save money on shipping. with the free shipping you still save x amount of dollars. is there a deceiving way of doing it? i don't know. way too many. stuart: now, the serious stuff. do you remember when senate majority leader harry reid called all the obamacare becomes liars? how could we forget? but yesterday in the testimony i don't think we have the sound, what she said, she was appearing before congress yesterday asked a series of questions. one of those questions was what

do you think about senator reed: victims of obamacare liars? frankly she didn't have a very good response to that. have we got that tape yet? have we got it? nope. all right, what she said was, i didn't hear what he said. she was asked directly. she responded, i didn't hear what he said. why isn't this lady fired? monica: nobody in this administration seem to know anything. the president didn't know about irs, fast and furious, the nsa spying. now the secretary saying i didn't know what the enrollment numbers were, how may people have paid premiums, and also i didn't hear the senate majority leader makes comments about the victims of obamacare. nobody in as a administration anything and there is no accountability. your talking but a program like

obamacare, they ought to have some answers. stuart:'s lady runs it, she should have answers. this cascading into chaos, constant delays in every aspect except the tax increases, but it is not going away, is it? this thing is not going away. charles: 34 changes to it, a large chunk of it. if it was a jigsaw puzzle, you would not even know what it was right now. a lot of pieces have been removed. obamacare lives on a key, but the pieces of the puzzle have been pulled away. stuart: how many people know if they have insurance in their state? if they paid, have they really paid? which doctors in a network, how many people know their precise health care situation right now? >> there is no way to know it unless somebody goes to the doctor and is told as a friend of mine recently was she thought she was covered under an obamacare policy.

$12,000 operation, she was told it was all okay, she gets there for the preop and told no, it is not covered under obamacare. this is mass confusion causing people so much money. the idea they sold it as this will make health care more affordable to more people, more people are being put into the poor house by obamacare. stuart: let's go to market because we dropped below 16,300. will the dow continue the three-day losing streak right now down 43 points? would you spend $30 on his bachelor? $2$20 a package of pancake mix? a lot of people are doing just that. williams-sonoma posting new highs after the prophet. do you shop at williams-sonoma? nicole: i love williams-sonoma. if i had more of a life at home, i would shop there even more. it is not cheap, he talked about

$20 spatula, $20 gluten-free pancake mix. up 9.7% for williams-sonoma. the stock will into a new high over $65. they came up with good quarter, better-than-expected full-year numbers. raised the dividend. stuart: i think we just showed the pancake mix which is on sale for $11. nicole: flap and jack pancake mix. that is probably the cheapest thing at williams-sonoma. stuart: and new hires a new high. nicole: they beat the street and raised the dividend. charles: same-store sales, pottery barn up 14.6%. pottery barn kids up 11%. what retailer can sport those kind of numbers? the dollar stores are going down and people say the rich are not doing their fair share.

these numbers are mind-boggling. stuart: you want mind-boggling? i will give you mind-boggling. john kerry: climate change a top diplomatic priority. i am quoting directly. "protecting our environment and meeting the challenge of climate change is a critical mission for me as our country's top diplomat." his diverting attention away from the misery of obamacare did monica: this is the same sectarian state who a couple of weeks ago said with a straight face that he believes climate change is the worst weapon of mass destruction. i think the atomic bomb has something to say about that. but they honestly believe that and as we talked about on this show, climate change is a secular religion for the left and it is about the massive global wealth redistribution.

for the wealthier countries and distribute to the poor. stuart: how do anything that will go down well with american voters? monica: jobs come obamacare as d the economy at the top, climate change dead last, nobody cares about it. charles: they are desperate for a foreign policy. maybe you could win. monica: the russians invading sovereign countries, a nuclear bomb. stuart: global warming is far more important. i have another one for you.presn executive order demanding overtime for salaried workers. sidestepping congress once again. more on this after the break. >> what did the president mean by that when he looks to the supreme court to rein in executive overreach? if you don't have standing, how

could you possibly get before the supreme court? so my question, mr. speaker, is what changed? how does going from being a senator to a president rewrite the constitution?

so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings 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. iwe don't back down. we only know one direction:

stuart: we were up 50, now we are down 43 so i guess you can say we have almost 100 points swing on the day so far. down at the moment. president obama will sign an executive order later today requiring companies to pay millions of salaried workers overtime. he is going over congress head using the executive powers to dictate incomes in the private sector. republicans are not taking this one line down. the commerce and gave an impassioned speech yesterday: the president out. listen to this. >> i will read a quote and then you tell me who said it. these last few years we've seen an unacceptable abuse of power

having a president whose priorities is expanding his own power. in a guess on who said that, mr. speaker? it was sen senator barack obama. no lock and give a backbone if it refuses to stand off as a coequal branch. the constitution made it. senator barack obama. what do we do with a president who can basically change what congress pass by attaching a letter saying i don't agree with this part or that part? senator barack obama. stuart: that is pretty good stuff. we bring you the man himself, republican from south carolina. welcome to the program. >> thank you. stuart: this latest executive order to impose more salaried workers getting overtime, does the president flat-out have the power to do that?

>> i am not aware of the statutory power he may be relying on, but that is the question we all should be asking him. executive orders have been around for a long time, but i don't think it is too much to ask the executive what statute are you relying on that gives you the power to do this because i cannot think of a statute that gives the him the power to tell businesses how much they have to pay their workers. stuart: the solution to the president's power grab presumably in the immediate future does not lie with the court, surely it lies with politics. it relies on a political reaction to what the president is doing. >> our framers gave us a lot of remedies, one of which is every member of the house will be up in november and a third of the senate. they've given us the power of impeachment, but two of those are punishments. i am looking for a remedy. if you want a law enforced, constitutional obligation of the

executive, how do you get a president, not just this president, but any president to enforce the law? one of the ways to do it is to go to the judicial branch and order the executive to follow the law. in some cases a law he himself has signed. stuart: are you going to do that, sir? you know how to do this, are you going to do what you just said? >> sure. i hope we do it regardless of the senate takes this bill up. i don't think we have standing simply because we passed a bill. we have standing under the constitution. stuart: how long w would take tm to adjudicate this? >> years. stuart: meanwhile the president has dictated salary levels, income levels by command, people will get extra money, and he may win politically because of that. >> there are a married of groups that would have standing with respect to this executive order and pick a group that is

impacted if they wanted to go to court and get an injunction, they could do that tomorrow afternoon. we are seeking to make him enforce the law. this would be seeking to keep him from committing an act doesn't have jurisdiction to commit. all court cases don't necessarily have the last two years, but look at fast and furious. we tried to get documents three years ago and we are still in court. stuart: your profile has gone straight up, do you know you're considered as a vice presidential candidate? >> in what country? charles: twitter twitter! stuart: good response. come and see us again soon. >> i would love that, thank you. stuart: brilliant answer. it got me. take a look at priceline stock. it is a juggernaut. we had quite a debate among the staff last night over if priceline is a tech company.

we're trying to choose 16 tech companies to compete in the tournament string next week. who will pit them against each other. the question, which stock would you rather own? we will eventually crown a champion. so charles, priceline, technology company, yes or no? charles: yes. stuart: i agree with you. charles: the 2013 letter they said like many other online businesses, they don't call themselves a travel agency, what makes them a business, kayak. if they did not have this technology, they could not stay ahead of the curve. stuart: what about tesla? charles: without a doubt. they are making batteries that will be revolutionary and have a life that goes well beyond automobiles. that was just a peer car play to

be $1.56 play. stuart: any company making real headway in this modern era is linked to technology fundamentally, it has got to be. there's no way around it. charles: an it is the difference between jcpenney and amazon. stuart: you heard my take on warren buffett. now you get your chance to chime in on what i said. your reaction from facebook and twitter is next it's a growing trend in business:

do more with less with ss energy.hp is help. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance, using forty percent less energy. multiply that across over a thousand locations, and they'll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. that's a trend we can all get behind.

obamacare has been front and center. the greatest fiasco of our lifetime. domestic fiasco. it has been front of people daily for nearly a year now. they know what the problem is. the democrats at this election in florida made clear do not have a real answer to the republicans political event offensive. don't repeal, the problem is the woman who was defeated in florida made clear they do not have any fixes to obamacare. their position is simply let the administration keep deferring it into the future. the damage is still happening and i think as long as republicans can make clear with the democrats it is fire and forget on obamacare, one of the biggest problems of our time is sitting there unaddressed, it is a liability. stuart: on obamacare, kathleen sebelius testified yesterday, listen to some of her answers.

>> how many of those that have signed up have enrolled in obamacare have paid the premium? >> i can't tell you that, sir, because i don't know that. >> how many of those were previously insured? >> i do not know that, sir. stuart: those are key questions, you've got to be able to answer that. i don't understand why the president has not fired what amounts to an incompetent member of obamacare. why is she still there? >> i think kathleen sebelius is doing precisely what president obama wants her to do. to go out there and say anything to defend this indefensible entitlement he has created. the white house own solution do things have simply been to not address the details of the problems inside the individual market place, but to simply throw it all forward. the most recently did last week

and made it clear they were doing it in reply to five democratic senators who were in political trouble because of this law. it is so brazen. why not have a brazen secretary defended? stuart: the "wall street journal" in the last two days reported to what amounts to a delay for the entire individual mandate. it hasn't been many headlines because it is exceptionally technical and buried in the regulations, but your newspaper is saying this is what is happening. the leaf the individual mandate. >> i think this creates an opportunity for republicans well repeal is just not possible, not enough votes to do that. they should start talking about taking steps to address individual market place such as giving people, the mandate has made the premiums so high. every insurance plan has to have the following 200 elements if it doesn't apply to your situation. fishes adjust the people should shop for individual policies and

private marketplace as they apply to them, carry them across state lines, trade a piece of legislation like that, force the senate to vote on it. stuart: republicans surely want this thing to collapse, what a mess. >> what i am's adjusting is not helping obamacare so much as fixing the individual market coming up with an alternative that would be individual choice rather than the forced march obamacare turned out to be. this is a huge crisis for modern liberalism. we are the government here to help you, and it doesn't work. you cannot have something fail out in front of the voters and still help to win elections. stuart: bear in mind do they take the senate? >> they have a very good chance

of taking 10 or 11 seats up for election. even vulnerable democrats in states like iowa, those races are closing. it could be historic sweep in the senate. time in politics today is very compressed, everything is tight, you just cannot get away from it. it will be a tight race now until the first tuesday in november. i can't wait. stuart: dan hettinger, everyone. thank you very much. president obama surgeon general nominee wants your doctor to ask you do you own a gun. is that justified? we will discuss it next.

united did not rule it out down the road. apple stock down $0.82. a big name down, dollar general blames the cold weather, competition and the economy. nicole, did they leave anything out? nicole: i thought it was interesting, actually. cold weather, we have been hearing that one, plenty sales were weaker. what is interesting is how they were noting consumer confidence in the concerns. while we have heard from so many retailers, they talked about severe weather, dollar general saying they'r they are concernet consumer confidence. they geared toward the lower income, like walmart and target, that is the theme we have been hearing from them in the forecast does miss the estimates. stuart: charles, this is what you are saying earlier. williams-sonoma up, dollar general down going to a lower

end of the income spectrum. that is the story of our economy. charles: nicole is right and accommodation side, the dollar stores did amazing over three years. walmart ringing their prices down. but the idea the rich aren't spending money is preposterous. those numbers boggle my mind when i looked at them. the aussie store sales up 14.6%, same-store sales? these dollar stores a lot of competition, they have to figure out something else, somebody has to break out of the pack. stuart: 10%. charles: people wrote the company off. stuart: they were wrong. and now spoken advocate says guns are public health threat and wants to require all doctors to ask their patients if they own a firearm.

we are joined bases of opinion editor the wall street times and welcome to the program. i know you oppose this moved to have doctors ask patients if you have a gun in the house but let me turn this around for a second. don't doctors have responsibility to find out if there is a dangerous weapon in someone's home, especially if they know maybe somebody is mentally unstable in that house? >> three times as many people die from car crashes from drunk drivers and text messages and you don't have doctors asking if they own a car. it is not a doctor's responsibility to ask if you are exercising their constitutional right to keep arms to defend yourself. stuart: this is an enormous number of problems with guns in homes, people getting shot and killed. >> it is very rare for any kind of accidental death.

no, it is not very common and it is not a doctors place to invade the privacy of a family and ask them if they have a gun in the home. stuart: did you say 700 accidental deaths from firearms in the home? >> just in the year. stuart: that poses a danger to 700 people. >> it will not help because if somebody is irresponsible, are not locking the gun with children in the home their doctor telling them to do so is not going to change anything. people know to lock their guns if there are children in the home. it is very rare for children to get killed by parents who left their guns on loss, so would not make a difference. stuart: i will listen to the debate, i think it is a good debate, think we should have it. the other thing is the smart gun. a special locking mechanism's only u.s. the owner can fire the gun. i'm sure you know what i'm talking about, it turns out if

one s in the united states, every gun in new jersey must become a smart gun. this seems to me to be the antigun people expanding their turf with this kind of action, what do you say? >> the issue of smart guns, support entrepreneurship and i support invention in the summary comes up with a gun only the owner can shoot by the two ideas thethat have got going now and planning, fingerprint or a watch connected to it, that is great. the problem is the technology is not there, so the antigun jurisdictions particularly in new jersey are mandating something that doesn't exist. so right now these smart guns on the market are not reliable. any responsible gun owner is never going to use them. i keep a loaded gun at home. in a million years right-hand on

a fingerprint or a watch for security, depend on a lock for every gun and it is a dependable way to store your gun. stuart: why with republican governor of new jersey, why would he support this move? >> quite frankly chris christie has been back and forth with his issues on second amendment rights. after newtown he came out in favor of a lot of new gun-control laws however six months later he ended up redoing a bunch that came out at the all democratic legislature there. this year it has been a very tough issue in new jersey for chris christie because while the democratic majority is pushing for more gun-control laws and rights now they're proposing for one that would ban all of the rifles, very extremists bills are doing is deliberately to put chris christie in a position because he wants to run for president to either veto something to run nationally because the majority of

americans do not support more gun-control laws or does he cow tail to the liberal base in his home state. stuart: what portion can support an out right ban on all handguns? seriously. >> from what i have seen in the past it is like less than 10 or 5%. unrealistic and in the constitution so it is not even on the screen. handguns i would put the minority president obama said he wants to ban handguns, probably mike bloomberg, piers morgan, those type of people if you edit them up you will get less than 10% of the population. stuart: i hope you can come back soon because this is really poignant for the moment. another example of success in private industry and american technology. elon musk new rocket able to

listen to what president obama said last night. i do not have time to waste. the clock is ticking. i want to squeeze every last little bit of work that i can't during the remainder of my term. here is your reaction to trey gaudi. i want to see this man as attorney general. when he talks, our entire household stops to listen. listen to what he said about heading to the white house. did you know that you are being considered as a vice presidential candidate? >> and what country. stuart: i thought that that was pretty good. we will have much more on the

president executive order. that will be in my take in about 20 minutes from now. we have two retailers for you today. williams-sonoma. people with money apparently have no problem spending it. nicole shops there, i believe. the shop is up 10%. a very big game for a company like that. we have dollar general. the shop is down. some describe as unhealthy food, drug stores and the food is not fast enough at mcdonald's. she wrote the book what great brands do. welcome to the program. give them some advice. >> i would say they have to

refocus. they have gotten so distracted with chasing so many customers. all of the foods are very important to the brand. stuart: when i go to the mcdonald's, the menu array is huge. it is not fast. i want fast food from a fast food joint. >> true. the customer ends up suffering. stuart: what about the nature of the food? do you think they should rebrand towards more healthy foods? >> i think they have a good mix right now. i think the fact is they need to position themselves to appeal to that family customer and not go chasing after starbucks customers or healthy customers. don: fast, direct, limited menu,

some healthy stuff out there and a nice clean friendly place for people to hang out in. >> absolutely. stuart: an emotional connection. all kids know the entire mcdonald's menu immediately. >> you and i have fond memories of going to mcdonald's when we were kids. stuart: i was in hong kong when they opened the first mcdonald's back in the 1970s. i will bring you a check on jcpenney stock please. today it is bringing back its home goods section. the home goods section was ditched. jcpenney undoing what ron johnson did. he tried to make it a bit more upscale and then walked away from it. do you approve of this? >> i do.

i think it is a very smart move. i think they are trying to compete with a target or calls. by having a home goods section, they will be bringing those customers back to them. stuart: you are very direct. you go right at it. >> i studied jcpenney quite a bit. all of the problems that they have had, they would've lost the focus on the core customer. they need to go back to that. stuart: stay right there. i have another one for you in a moment. i want to check the big board. we are down 81 at the moment. the three biggest percentage losers of the dow 30 are hewlett-packard, pfizer and america express. zynga, that is the farm bill. why is it down today?

nicole: down three and a half percent. we have been talking yesterday and today about the new ipo. it is the parent of candy crush. a similar thing; right? will it be received well. we know zynga shot up. not so great since the ipo. everyone now looking towards change for this one. >> i could never understand why people would put real money into a gain, essentially. nicole: the stock really shot up after the ipo. the pop and then the drop. stuart: when we say google is everywhere, we mean it. google has added a grand canyon

cityview on their maps. they call it riverview for obvious reasons. the google stock is down $10. below $1200 a share. what do you think about this? i always think of google ads everywhere. i think that is a pretty good friend to have. >> absolutely. i think they trust google to make their lives better. constantly expanding into brand-new areas. even in this riverview thing on google maps. that is an extension, i think. >> it is to organize information and make it useful and accessible to everyone. this is just another way that they are doing that. >> you create branding. a company comes to you and says i need a brand.

>> tell me a brand that you have polished. >> maybe i would return to oakley. it was a collaborative process. oakley has so many opportunities in front of them. they need to decide where they will innovate. the process i work with is helping them provide that focus. stuart: all right. you work for us. it was great. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: will you come again? >> absolutely. stuart: more on the story of stephen power. he was disfigured in a motorcycle accident. he received life-changing surgery to repair his face with the help of 3 d printers.

system. stuart: do you think he is pleased with his new faith? >> we think extremely pleased. stuart: it is not 3 d printed skin or flash. it is the plates that are underneath the skin and the flash which were 3 d printed. >> that is correct. yes. stuart: dominick, congratulations. we were not aware that wales was a driving center of the 3 d printing business. congratulations. fantastic work. that is really amazing stuff. thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you very much. stuart: check out the big board, please. close to 100-point down.
