most of you have never heard of. where did that number come from? charles: somebody has heard of them. secondly, let's talk about the more important banks. we have two buddies that moved from san francisco october 2007. they cannot afford their rent. it was going pretty good. they came up with a special cereal box. they sold $30,000 worth. this is what i love about these stories. it is about the american dream living. they have a new income stream.

stuart: to me it is a very, very good idea. very well executed. again, it concentrates wealth. charles: maybe we can rent out the house on the weekends. i can stay with my brother. maybe we keep the house and pay the mortgage. stuart: i think that it is a great story. any solution to fix this will be painful to all of us. listen to this. >> security and the major healthcare plans will be more

expensive than on average in the past. we have a choice as a society to scale back those programs relative to what is promised under current law or to raise tax revenue to above its historical average. stuart: we hear you. monica crowley is with us. monica, i will guarantee that is what happens. >> that certainly will be the move. what he is now talking about is you have to start dealing with social security now. stuart: the moment you use the word cut, you cannot win an

election. stuart: both sides. >> it does need reform. stuart: which politician will not print a ton of money to fund it in the future? both sides will cave. both sides ultimately will agree to a tax increase. charles: i do not disagree with you guys. you have to start making these payments at 70. stuart: not all classes and groups of people live longer. charles: we do not have to pay those people social security.

people say all the time, i put money into this. it is not a gimme. stuart: can't we just hold on for a second. we are about to take a statement from president obama. >> i want to provide an update on the situation in ukraine and the steps that the united states are taking in response. we have continued to be deeply concerned by the events in ukraine. we have seen an illegal referendum in crimea. there have been threats to ukrainian personnel. these are all choices that the russian government has made. because of these choices, the

united states is today moving, as we said we would to impose additional costs on russia. based on that executive order that i signed in response to russia's intervention, we are imposing sanctions on more officials of the russian government. in addition, we are today sanctioning a number of other individuals with substantial resources and influence. a bank provides material support to these individuals. we are taking these steps as part of our response to what russia has already done in crimea. at the same time, the world is watching with great concern as russia has positioned its military in a way that could lead to further. four this reason, we have been working closely with our european partners.

as part of the process, i signed a new executive order today that gives us the authority to impose sanctions not just on individuals, but key sectors of the russian economy. this is not our preferred outcome. these sanctions would not only have a significant impact on the economy, but could also have a disruption to the global economy. russia must know that further escalation will only isolate it further from the international community. the basic principle that relations between nations must be upheld within the 21st century. that includes respect for sovereignty. notion the nations do not simply redraw borders. one of our other top priorities

is providing assistance to ukraine. as i travel to europe next week to meet with the g7 and other european nation allies, i once again urge them to pass legislation that is necessary to provide this assistance and do it right away. i also hope that it moves swiftly to provide a significant package. in europe, i will also be reinforcing a message to the vice president biden. america's support for our nato allies isnwavering. we have already increased our support.

we will step up our cooperation with europe on economic and energy issues as well. one that the escalates and one that involves russia pursuing a diplomatic solution. the ukrainians should not have to choose between the west and russia. that can only happen if russia also recognized the rights of

all the ukrainian people to determine their future. people and nations around the world undersnd and support. thank you very much, everybody. stuart: okay. that was the president making a very brief statement on the issues in ukraine. more sanctions on russian officials. he may impose even more severe sanctions if the russians continue to escalate. they need to recognize the rights of all ukrainians.

>> i did not vote for you and i am pretty skeptical about obamacare. when i actually signed up, it turns out that i am saving $100, $200 or i am getting health insurance for the first time. >> i do not think building cares much if he goes on ellen degeneres in the final weeks of the obamacare sign up. stuart: oh, i think that he does >> president president obama is so distracted that he does not, is not paying close enough attention or is not willing to confront vladimir putin.

what he told me is, state one media in russia is openly mocking the president of the united states. putting him on the air. there is absolute contempt in russia for this guy. he is out there dancing with ellen degeneres. stuart: plug-ins popularity rating has gone up. charles. charles: monica covered it all. very nicely, as usual. stuart: zero impact on the market. right where we were when the president stopped his speech. the strongest earthquake in 20 years at los angeles and monday. about three city council members are asking whether fracking is to blame. that comes up next. ♪ (announcer) scottrade knows our clients trade

>> remember dominoes will be bad crust? think republicans already admitted that crust, we needed different kind of party. stuart: there was a standing ovation. the host of special reports on the fox news channel. can you welcome to the program, that looks to me like a flat out split in the republican party, libertarians versus everybody else. what do you say? >> rand paul is trying to to get that group, that young group, different demographic, he is going to speak to groups, african-american groups, hispanic groups, make the out reach case that a libertarian version of what has been the republican party is better able to go after the middle of the country, better able to go after constituencies that previously republicans haven't been able to

get. this is leading up to a 2016 run. stuart: the issues appealed very much to young people. that speech in berkeley was specifically nailing the nsa and snooping and domestic spying. unpopular with young people. he also played the marijuana card, legalize it nationally as most libertarians want. he really does appeal to young folks, a standing ovation at berkeley is astonishing for a republican. >> he is pulling a lot of things from his father, ron paul, who miraculously had this following that was almost a cult following in a lot of young groups. remember the primary leading up to the republican nomination. he is following that but on other issues he is changing and pulling a different card and being more traditional as far as republican issues. it is interesting to watch him. on the fed he is different from

his father. he still criticizes the federal reserve and thinks there should be more aggressive auditing but he is not overall on the ron paul side of things. i do think he is trying to bridge that young person's gap that republican voters have had. stuart: what about the democrats? they seem split over obamacare especially with the deadline approaching and enrollees not really there. some memory in the obamacare can't they seem to be split. >> there will be a lot more red state democrats, these vulnerable democrats up for reelection in traditionally republican states who start to pull away from the president on the issue of obamacare and try to distance themselves. mary landrieu of louisiana, mark baggage in alaska and others. there is a split here on obamacare. i also note that hillary clinton

when she goes on the stump around the country she doesn't talk about the nsa very much. that is a powerful issue for someone like rand paul to talk about because hillary clinton is caught on foreign policy and intelligence policy directly to barack obama. stuart: you read the numbers very closely. do you think the republicans will take the senate in this year's elections? >> we had a long way to go between now and then. a lot will be determined in the primaries, who the republicans choose to run in a lot of these races but most of the political analysts and all watchers in washington put it now at 60/40, the senate is going to change hands. because they look at the dynamic, all places democrats are defending and think republicans have a pretty good chance to pick up those six seats they need to take a majority. stuart: 6 months is an eternity in politics. bret baier, everyone, thank you

all teams were equal it would be about 9 quintillion to one to hit every game but they are not equal. some teams are better than others and some underdog's will win. the actual law is based on last year's odds was about 4.5 billion to one. is offering a one billion to one. it is a nice thing to hit to pick all the games. stuart: you never know. please come back again. you are a great guest and we want to keep up to speed on march madness from someone who knows. thank you very much. new late-night show host jimmy fallon taking a shot at president obama on crimea and obamacare. very funny, yes it is but maybe a hint that mainstream america is turning on the administration. hear the jokes after the break. it's a growing trend in business:

provision leaving doctors with the bill from the two months of unpaid care. the provision requires insurers to allow patients for federally subsidized health insurance plans a 90 day grace period to pay the premiums before canceling coverage. they're on their hope the first 30 days, the doctor stuck with the bill after that. it is complicated but the ama was a big supporter of obamacare. now it is saying we get stuck with the bill. joining us now, from lenox hill hospital. i am trying to explain it. we hear under obamacare doctors like yourself can sometimes get stuck with the bill over a longer holding because of obamacare, is that accurate? >> i would say at this point the

end of the private practice because-- stuart: that is a big statement. >> i hope to see mostly people in private practice today are operating on smaller and smaller margins. the reason for that is because of the new law lotta people signed up for high deductibles. especially the beginning of the year, we're talking about deductibles five, $12,000. these people are insured. but when they come to see you they cannot pay. stuart: they have a huge deductible so the beginning of the year they are working off the deductible, not really insured. they are stiffing the doctor, is that roughly how it is? >> that is exactly how it is. people come to the doctor. i am in a specialty business.

very expensive operations. almost instantly the people will meet the deductible going into my office. if we go ahead with the surgery. these people are insured for my purposes. i could be working for months. if you project that on a nationwide level, a serious hit in america. stuart: it is a complex story. i want to go back to your opening statement, this is the end of private practice. >> if they are operating on small margins they have to pay the salary to their employees. most importantly in new york it is tremendous. the average surgeons over $70,000 per year.

i don't have the exact number, but that is the ballpark. if you calculate all these expense, no money coming in,-- stuart: are you a member of "the american medical association"? originally supported obamacare very strongly, sir. are you going to withdraw that support? >> i am very agitated because i believe in the beginning especially had betrayed a lot of us. stuart: strong word, doctor, "betrayal." >> i am passionate about this. cancer care requires a lot of efforts, a lot of times each individual patient. so, for me supporting organization like ama is critical. if the law doesn't work i cannot

maintain my private practice, cannot help my patients and what is the next step? stuart: i know you came to us in very short notice, we appreciate it because we want a clean cut understanding the situation that you and other doctors are in. and you delivered. hewlett-packard getting into the 3d printing business. a juggernaut getting into a new territory. 3d. does the smaller company have much of a chance? the ceo of 3d systems is with us after the break.

so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 a month? yup. all 5 of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day.

you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line, anytime, for $15 a month. low dues, great terms. let's close! new at&t mobile share value plans our best value plans ever for business. stuart: you expect bill gates kids are going to inherit billions? think again. bill and melinda gates speak about their ideas at the conference in vancouver. reports gates says he is not going to make them all billionaires. instead they need to have a sense their own work is

meaningful and important. i think that is good advice to me, charles, but what gets me is if they'r they are so in love wh government, why don't believe it's the government through a states texans set of avoiding them? i never do. charles: the kids will not be broke. this smart, you are doing them a favor. your point is equally important, arguing for the regular businessman with a plumber with three to pay for more in taxes. stuart: if you think government spending is so wonderful a some of these billionaires do, give it to the government. what is wrong with this picture. getting all fired up. microsoft is at $40. shares of 3d printer took a loss

and disappointed with the forecast and down nearly 10%. not necessarily a household name but hewlett-packard is. ceo meg whitman says they need to get into the 3d printing market. the stock is up at 32, i think that is a high. stay with hp for the moment. we had a president ceo of 3d systems. they were very interested in the idea of 3d systems are 3d printing. welcome to the program. are you worried the big guys are coming into your turf right now? >> i think it is very validating the big guys are coming. we think it will be good for the whole state, we are not waiting for them to come. whave been announcing some products coming into the market, engineering capabilities from

xerox. built in the first high-speed printer from google. stuart: you're very, very good getting her talking points across. you have got to be considered a takeover target. you have to be seen as a buyout had it, you? >> we are interested in generating shareholders. stuart: be reasonable, wouldn't you like to cash out if somebody take you over, you walk with a alien or something like that, you don't want that? >> i think there are greater growth opportunities for us and we have worked very hard to position ourselves for growth. we expect to double our business again in the next couple of years and we think there is a better value for shareholders than a quick exit now.

stuart: he had this to say about your company, 3d printers on this program. >> that company makes machines, little figurines, jewelry, it is really a glorified play-doh factory. stuart: you heard it, a glorified play-doh factory. would you like respond to that? >> over 90% of our business making parts for airplanes and cars and specific medical devices. i find this product ironically misinformed. stuart: despite a rationalization of the whole industry? will come down for a few majors within a few years? >> i think consolidation is afoot, but equally we see some new startups. it will take some time. at the end of the day having a complete portfolio like we have with more than 100 materials

will scale to the people looking to invest in the manufacturing prodigy. this is going to be about airplanes and cars and the future of manufacturing. stuart: i understand you just helped someone to walk again, tell me what 3d printing did for this lady who now walks. i only have 30 seconds. >> she was paralyzed from the waist down in a ski accident. we helped her in a way that allowed her to restore her symmetry and allowed her to walk on an extension of her body as opposed to just a machine. that to me is priceless and it points to future directions of specific medical devices to improve the quality of life.

stuart, again soon. starbucks bringing booze to a coffee shop near you. the changing social habits up next. we asked people a question,

how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon 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 for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently,

if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪

stuart: you have to call this a bounce back rally. maybe people are reevaluating the slip of the tongue or her mumbled response of confusion. maybe she made a mistake. two stocks hitting new highs, plenty of them. to pulley above $600 per share. now look at this. microsoft hit 40 earlier, now it is at 40.23. the obamacare push reaches the ellen show today. most beat one of. is that strategy working? plus, a home rental company

online worth $10 billion which mark charles payne loves it. more on the company. i have a story for you about a shift in our culture, changing social habit, companies that lead the way. here is my take on starbucks. perhaps are expected something about amazon or google bringing new technology to our lives. this is about starbucks bringing alcohol to the coffee shop near you. they plan to serve here and wine as well as quality food in thousands of stores throughout the country. they've already started at 25 location the quitting l.a., seattle and chicago. as a big shift in the way alcohol is being presented. 13,000 starbucks in america. they are everywhere and they are inviting places, they are not dark and dingy and forbidden. they are haven for young people. it seems to me if alcohol is

introduced by the world's leading coffeehouse chain, something is shifting. as the neighborhood bar retreats, companies like starbucks jump in to fill the gap. all of those will be wildly expensive and liability insurance serving booze will cost an arm and a leg. we had a even started on a question if people want to drink in a coffee shop. our opinion this morning was it will be an utter failure. maybe. but i take this as a sign of the times. it starts to lead new trends and starbucks is all-american. america is always changing and we shouldn't be surprised when alcohol consumption changes too. good for you, starbucks, now let's see if it works. the stock has done well.

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 bk.

communications, former communications director for president obama in the white house. if i was going to try to reach young people i believe it i would like a president, i would go on youtube and the ellen show because that is the audience i want to reach. the criticism is it is not presidential, vladimir putin is looking at what the president is doing, and it is not working, young people are not signing up. >> the reason president obama is in the oval office is he is a nonconventional communicator, somebody who on both of his campaigns understanding media at best as anyone who has ever been in the presidency, and he is encouraging his team to put him in places where the audience he needs to reach, will hear what he has to say. the affordable care act is important enough he is willing

to go anywhere. >> they were laughing at him, laughing at him. >> that is what they do on the late-night show. stuart: the first president -- >> first president to go on late night, all types of presidential candidates gone before they become president but afterwards is groundbreaking and that shows the understand the media. stuart: vladimir putin is watching. >> at the end of the day more importantly the american people are watching and that is the audience. charles: how about the mayor called the. how can you keep pushing a product that obviously has a whole lot of flaws? mothers don't have to e-mail their kids if they're living in the basement. you can't have it both ways and the president is so reluctant to say i got it wrong, in set i will communicate in unconventional ways, i will make people like it even though they don't because it doesn't work. >> we are upwards of 5 million

people -- >> the affordable care act right now and after he appeared with that, we saw 40%. charles: i got to be honest with you. when they pitch this so eloquently and had a ceiling but the guild the nation that treats our unhealthy like garbage in the streets i thought there would be a line of 30 million people signed up. i thought it was the no-brainer. what happened? >> the rollout was not what it should have been the tremendous progress since the improvements made to the fight. you have more and more people going on to sign up. the deadline is march 21st and that is what the president is making this. stuart: the president and the united states dances with ellen, is made fun of on youtube and the president of the united states becomes a joke on a late-night talk-show i think the president ever is desperate,

looks desperate, very bad to enemies. >> they're designed to go for a specific target audience. at the end of the day you might not get it but you are not the target. the people the president trying to reach the uninsured and they are everywhere. the president is willing to go anywhere and everywhere to deliver the message. stuart: the iranians are building a bomb and looking at the president peddling obamacare on late-night television. what response did they have when they look at the president do this? >> one of the best lines delivered in 2008 was we need to be in the heat of the economic meltdown, do more than one thing at once at a time. so now what he is saying is why we are dealing with syria's geopolitical issues across the globe we have to deal with business at home and right now the main business for this president is getting as many

people signed up for the affordable care act as possible and that is being done through non conventional means. the message wasn't meant for you. stuart: will the democrats say enough, we can't have this round out, it is very badly. regroup after the election, the think the others say that? >> they appreciate as well nancy pelosi and other members also agreed, they agreed that right now we need to be getting as many people sign up for the affordable care act as -- stuart: a good republican candidate, nancy pelosi, she has done more for republicans and you are laughing because you know it is true. >> we will see where we are march 31st. i guarantee the ellen degeneres show we can anticipate a president and the white house will be doing even more. charles: half of democrats running for office in the midterm election will stay away from obamacare. it will never trickle of of their lips.

>> all politics are local and they need to do what they need to do to win their races. what is important to maintain the senate and fight to take back the house. stuart: if you lose the senate obamacare has a huge problem. >> not so sure about that. we saw what happened. we are going to fight against that. at the end of the day, right now, where do you see the president saying, members of the democratic party saying, they are telling people we need to wake up. florida 13 was a wake-up call for those who are aware, we lost democrats, we are not successful in winning that race even though we spent a lot of money. stuart: it was about obamacare. >> not at all. less than 3500 votes, ten vote for a precinct. at an end of the democrats could have won that vote if we had gotten our voters out to the polls and we know -- charles: presidents--republicans after the presidential campaign.

>> in 2008-2012 that is what we did. we were successful at getting voters to the polls and we need to have the same motivation during this midterm. stuart: no doubt about that. we are out of time but it was fun. glad you made it. come and see us again. you are not careful we will invite you. thanks very much. up next the real halftime report. facebook vs twitter, apple versus fire i. we can't forget about caribbean be. can you believe it is worth $10 billion? you probably never heard of it. all that after the break.
