dow industrials let down 1%, that will do it for the opening bell, see you tomorrow, have a great day. time for "varney and company". stuart: crunch time. the words criminal and contempt. and that tell us what you know moment is here. a criminal investigation, and a contempt of congress charge. and those been down tech stocks not showing much but there is no free fall for the matt least not right now. landlines going, going, almost gone. all of you don't have one. look at this. what is it? what is the other when? it is one of the rest of all hybrids. one of the rarest of all hybrids. "varney & company" is about to begin.

stuart: this video from ukraine, members of parliament, look at that. after one common islamic voices support for pro-russian protesters. total chaos. we have got it. and warning of a civil war if ukraine uses force to subdue the same protesters in the eastern part of the country. any reaction on the market? maybe some flight to safety in gold. now look at stocks, the dow industrial pretty much flat. sandra, do you think the latest events in ukraine, heightening of the tension, have they got any fallout over here at all on wall street? >> yes, you're looking at it.

stocks going nowhere. this is a market we know they want to buy this market, but if you look at the price of gold above 1300, up $10 on the session. you get these geopolitical tensions. you have risk coming off the table, so they look toward gold because they see this as an insurance against something horrible happening, the stock market imploding because a civil war could break out. stuart: let's stay on the market for a second and turn to charles. the nasdaq had the worst three-day performance in three years. do you think that is the dotcom bust all over again? charles: it is digesting some

pretty heavy games and highfliers. one of the things that tells us that is not the dotcom bust, it was "candy crush" king digital. the ipo was a must. back in 99 and 2000 over 200 ipos went up 100% or more on the first day of trading. there is a huge difference. 21 was it? if we had the same sort of insatiable appetite, blonde buying, that would be a $30 stock right now. as they look up from playing "candy crush." stuart: tech stocks have taken a hit. but the old tech stocks have been relatively holding their

own. ibm, hewlett-packard, amongst those which have not seen the huge drops. for a moment i will focus in on microsoft. it is investing big time in artificial intelligence, what it calls invible user r interface technology. people in the future won't need to touch, type or speak their devices, the device will know what we want it to do before we ask it to do. making a rare appearance with us this morning. the computer is not going to read my mind to give me what my mind is telling it to do. this is reading the patent of my life, predictive, isn't it? >> exactly. it involved an awful lot of thinking and compositional power. you are kind of a creature of habit.

we get to work in the morning, turn the computer on, open e-mail program, the boss e-mails us, that is the first thing i want to read. what if your computer did it for you? it says hi, jeremy. your boss e-mailed, prepare the algorithm. stuart: that is not a breakthrough technology that allows mind ways to go to the computer. >> a different form of interface with the computer. stuart: it would be a big breakthrough because the computer knows what i want in advance of what i want and gives it to me when i want it. charles: it is already working pretty small a degree. when you go on amazon they throw things at you that you might like. it is all about algorithms trying to predict trades. still a guessing game. >> and google already does it with google now. i fall the celtics, i turned my

phone and it says they lost again. but your computer doesn't do that. stuart: it is not doing the thinking for me, it is not original. that machine is not being original. >> it is being intuitive and thinking a little bit about what you might want to do, but not doing your thinking. stuart: do you like it? >> yes. charles: i love it. >> if it works, i am all for i everybody has had the same experience with their phone. this is a small part of this, you say to it send a text message to my mom and they're going to go man boy down to the banana bench. so if we can get there, that would be great, but it is a long way down the road, i think. stuart: thank you for coming by. i wanted to check out twitters new site design. i don't know much about this, but i think it looks a lot like

facebook. is that why twitte twitter stocp today? nicole: the rollout everybody has been hearing about starts today and it will be throughout the day. it looks a lot like face. it has a timeline focus on photos, reorganize it based on your favorites and things some people are saying it looks a lot more like facebook. twitter, remember it was lifted, the prime minister once again things the court ruling was wrong. stuart: does it make twitter easier to use? nicole: i have not tried the new look, i have only been tweeting for about a month now, it seems to have been pretty easy. stuart: thank you very much,

indeed. >> we have to embrace changes, not be afraid of them. stuart: even at my age. quit smiling. a conservative columnist coming up with an interesting tax proposal writing in slate.com, people with no kids who make more than $51,000 per year have more in taxes than people with children. are you in shifting the to childless adults give kids a better start in life. what is your first comment about the idea of picking on people with no kids and making them pay more tax? >> as a single woman, ridiculous is what i have to say to this columnist.

what he is really saying is if you choose to have kids in today's america, somebody else should pay for raising them. if you don't own property, or if you are like me and are a small business owner and single, i pay a butt load of taxes. i work hard, seven days a week a lot of times and it is not my responsibility to take care of people's kids when they choose to become parents. stuart: it is interesting he is a conservative. he says if the republicans propose this, it would be a vote-getter because you are giving something to tens of millions of people, giving them something so they will vote for you. any comment on that? >> senator mike lee has a proposal, he wants to raise the tax credit for a child from $1000 today, parents get tax

credits already, he wants to raise it to $2500 for wants to reform the tax code. what i want to say to my conservative friend is let's get on the bandwagon for reforming and say let's have a flat tax because guess what, 15% of $50,000 isn't the same as 15% of a millionaire, right? so people who earn more money will pay more money with a flat tax. stuart: we heard that log for the flat tax. a segment on that later. sandra smith is a new mom. don't you think you get enough tax breaks for your child already? >> there are already a lot of tax breaks for parents with children. $171 billion worth last year

alone, and half of american households with kids will not owe any federal income taxes at all. so there are plenty of tax brackets already. stuart: one word you never wantt to hear again, colic. you have 10 seconds to express your opinion. >> i was a colicky baby. my mom is watching right now, i love you for staying up with me. stuart: you don't get this on any other financial program on the planet. thank you for joining us. look at the big board. starting lower, down may be 30 points, now we bounce a little bit 23 points higher. everybody is saying is the selling going to continue? as of right now, the selling looks like they are excited.

president obama using his pen and his phone signing executive orders relating >> pay for women but according to an article in the "wall street journal" the so-called pay gap is not all that it is cracked up to be. sandra, give us the numbers. sandra: their party got several different reasons why it is not an apples to apples comparison. they are looking at full-time workers. men almost twice as likely as women to work 40 hours per week, women twice as likely. when you take into account hours worked, income gap starts to shrink quite substantially. by the way, they also point out other factors, dangerous occupations, iran workers, the majority were male work-related deaths in 2012 were men, these people you paid more, so that helps the income gap

shrank a little bit. don't just use apples to apples comparison and look at the white house statistic that women make $0.77 on the dollar to a male. charles: some other victim area, we know things have to change but they have changed dramatically over the years. grow the economy. please grow the economy. >> easy to say when you are a man making the full dollar. making all the money. i am in the same camp as you on this one. $0.13 on the dollar. stuart: moving swiftly along. amazon fire tv, set-top box made a take splash, one of the competitors are here. not happy with this competition from the big guys.

the ceo is here. i'm going to put it at you, i think you've got a problem here with amazon fire. the product cost the same as amazon, amazon has a whole lot more content, what are you going to do to beat the big guys coming on your turf? >> the small guys always seem to win out every once in a while. that is our strategy here. with amazon the focus is content. they are competing against apple tv and roku offerings like netflix and hulu. ouya is about gaming first. it is not about streaming mobile games into the delivery room. this about working with aaa game developers that want to take advantage of the number one screen in our lives, the television. a real controller. stuart: you think your nish, streaming video games is strong

enough to take on amazon of the world. you stand on your pride in your niche. to some degree amazon has copied your technology. but he will not sue them, are you? >> building a streaming box for gander content is really easy. the technology is easy. the price point is similar. you get a game controller with amazon fire tv have to buy an additional controller 4:30 $9.99 bid there are 250 million game consoles worldwide. probably less than 30 million set-top boxes at $99 price point. the reason to bring another device in the living room is because it offers something unique, and that is games. you can ge get video content afr the fact, you can get it from probably have a dozen devices today including a cable box, television, even your ipad pushed to the television. stuart: would you consider the sale of your company?

[laughter] >> and out happily smile while we did it. stuart: oh yes, they would. i think whether or not a ceo plans to sell the business is a fair business question. we asked you on facebook and twitter what you thought of the question. here's what you had to say. paul says i think it is interesting to see their reaction. kelly says it's too personal. only if he asks how much of that they get to pocket.

to be fair, don't believe asking somebody how much they pocket their product is a personal question, rather it is a gauge of how much the business model works and how much they like money. thank you for all of your comments, keep them coming. charles is looking at me. charles: you do put some of these guys in an awkward addition to they try to raise additional money from a leverage point of view. if they put a price tag on their company, it might hurt them with respect to raising more money. lot of these guys are not public yet so they're still trying to raise money. stuart: all i'm thinking of is the viewer. charles: they want to know everything. and you will ask everything. that is why they love the show. stuart: i'm going to start with yelp, bouncing back up nicely, 5%, down 30% in the past month. it has a p.r. battle on its hands about the negative anonymous review.

or not we will find out. stuart: the house will vote earlier tomorrow to hold lois lerner in contempt. all rise, judge andrew napolitano is here. what does that mean, hold lois lerner in contempt of congress, take me through it. >> it does not mean much. he has been held in contempt of congress himself. unless the attorney general prosecutes the contempt, that is charges the person with the crime of contempt and does so in a federal court and succeeds in prosecuting them, doesn't mean anything. stuart: eric holder, he is probably not going to launch a criminal investigation? is the attorney general's discretion, not john boehner's discretion. the congress can refer all the criminal referrals it wants to

the justice department and the justice department is free to reject them. unless a federal judge orders her to speak and she defies that order. if there is no crime here of what she may have done in her job, that we don't know about, but nope punishable contempt. only when a judge directly orders you to do something and you defy the order that you expose yourself for criminal contempt. john boehner's argument is because she made the two or three lines statement i didn't do anything wrong, followed the law, i followed irs regulations, did not break the law, she waves her right to remain silent. there is support the argument that was just sort of another way of saying i am going to remain silent, and she didn't wave her fifth amendment right. the judge will have to decide if she waved her rights. i don't blame john boehner, he'll it is somewhat with the tools made available to him but

i don't think this is really going to go anywhere. stuart: at 11:00 i said you have got criminal investigation, contempt of congress. crunch time for lois lerner at the irs. it is not, is it? >> no lawyer would let her speak when she is being investigated by congress and potentially investigated by the justice department because you just don't know what the investigators know about you and how your words may help them rather than protect you. stuart: we are not in the bottom of it are we t? now i am assuming that in the election campaign of 2012 the government tipped the scales with the irs and went after the president's political opponents. >> i don't think that is that much of an assumption, i think that is fairly obvious. there are e-mails the

congressman's investigators have unearthed that basically stand for the following. we hate the citizens united opinion. saying the corporations and groups have first amendment rights. the way to frustrate that is to use the irs. it is fairly obvious the government kept it below the radar screen until after president obama was reelected. one of the reasons she or whoever did this was because the law gives the irs so much leeway that whoever is the president, a republican like richard nixon at want you the irs to torment his opponents why democrat democrate barack obama who wants to you the irs to torment his opponents, the wiggle room, the space in which to use the irs for tormenting one's opponent is there in the law. the congress can remove that. stuart: the absolute end of the

day i say no but it to prison for what the irs did, and you i think would agree with me. stuart: i would add to that there will be no change in the law either. they don't want that weapon to use the irs against the opponent. it is immoral, disgraceful but not unlawful. stuart: we appreciate it. two phrack or not. that is not the question anymore. we have the man who will tell us why. and he is next. ♪

what they fail to tell you was even in the report itself, we expect 14% increase in yield, how much we get from every plot of land every decades. that was in the report. stuart: 14% increase in crop yield because of global warming every decade. >> because of global warming that might go down to 13%. what you heard was it would probably be less. it would still go up and more likely if you include the fact that farmers will adapt and co2 is a fertilizer most indicators and certainly from the food and agricultural organization expect we will get more food. stuart: do you believe net net is that if the world is indeed warming up there are positives? it is a positive development for the planet? >> in the short and medium run

yes, indicators showing the 2 degrees fahrenheit you will probably get net benefits because more people die in heat that fewer people die in coal. you'll get more problems with weak but you also get more places you can grow and more for instance rice and corn. fundamentally there's probably a small net benefit in the short run. it will be a problem in the long run but if you make panic scare tactics don't be surprised if people have bad responses. stuart: your point of view for years and years has been the measures we propose to take care of global warming won't work and of wildly expensive so you disagree with the ideas for reforming or fixing global warming even though you believe in it yourself. >> global warming is really is going to be a problem in the long run the we are spending $60 billion a year on solar and wind providing 1-third of 1% of the world's energy and even with

a wildly optimistic scenario in 200035 it will just provide 3.5% of the world's energy. this is not going to be the solution now or in the near future which is why it is problematic. we are spending so much money -- stuart: they are screwing money out of the wealthy countries, they wanted transferred to the other countries. >> a lot of people making money but a lot of people are just buying feel good measures. makes you feel -- stuart: do something to make me feel good. >> this is an underreported fact, the u.s. has cut more co2 with fracking, switching from coal to gassed than all the world's solar and wind panels in the world. isn't that amazing? we are paying $60 billion for the solar and wind, you guys are probably making $100 billion a year with fracking so the really issues do you want to cut less

and pay $60 billion or cut more and make $100 billion. stuart: no wonder this man is our favorite environmentalist. that is good stuff. how to make the world a better place, how to spend $70 billion, thanks very much indeed. check the big board, dow industrials turned positive, i am guessing 15 minutes ago. not much but we are up 16274. 90 is a big winner on the dow. it got an upgrade contributing half the dow's game up 2%. so-called momentum stocks bouncing up 2% to 3%, the chinese google which had been beaten down up 6% almost 6% as we speak. don't forget the price of gold. there is increasing tension in ukraine. maybe that is why gold is up another $9, $13.08 as of right now. the service that lets you rent

your home out to strangers having a tough go in san francisco. that city is cracking down on people who use the web site to rent out their homes. they say it is illegal and those who rent their homes are facing eviction. valued at $10 billion but if it is illegal that the value won't hold. >> it absolutely is. this is what is going on in san francisco. if you rent out your home or your room is a crime. you can't do so for under 30 days. so they are saying why not just put this 14% hotel tax on it, when the hotel law came into existence, our homes and rooms were not being rented out but let to the 14% tax, our hosts say they will pay it because they want to be law-abiding citizens and want this to continue and will bring in $274 million a year in revenue for san francisco. if they do that in new york

millions of dollars and so on and so on. stuart: that is a good fix. just tax and we will pay the tax. >> they're going to go public, not this year. don: i wonder how much they are worth. >> public -- public counterpart is valued less than $10 billion. don: tesla, another of those momentum stocks is bouncing back. i have news for you, starting of leasing program for small businesses. give us the full story. nicole: is up 21410 so a great move for tesla and we know it has lot is the individual and that has been the model of the company but now they are looking at trying to do fleece and businesses and you talk about leasing out to businesses that is another area and could bring a lot of money for the company,

there's another interesting story about as low from wisconsin, you have a franklin dr. suing because he says he bought a to as low which was faulty and under warranty. everything from not starving, not charging, faulty door handles, defrosting problems. a long list. considers his tesla a lemon and is moving forward. the first i have heard of this particular story on tesla. stuart: stock is up because of low leasing the story, bring the money in, up goes the stock. quickly look at the big board because we are up 35 points. not that this is an extended rally but free-fall selling in those momentum stocks has as of now come to an end. what happens this afternoon? the free fall sell-off is over, we're 34. e cigarettes getting bad press

lately, the cdc, centers for disease control says there has been a huge increase in a number of very young children poisoned by injecting the nicotine liquid contained in the cigarettes. brent willis is with us, ceo, i believe you are the second biggest piece cigarettes seller in america. >> the world's largest independent -- when i last met you six months ago we were the world's smallest that have become a world's largest. stuart: you have done well but you face up pr problem. this report last week that young children under 5, i have forgotten the exact number, have been drinking the nicotine liquid in an e. cigarette and the pressure is on you to make sure your product is absolutely safe. tamperproof in other words. you plan to do it? >> we do. all our packages are indeed

tamper proof but one of the issues that has recently risen. stuart: have you had a case where a toddler has gotten into one of your e cigarettes? >> we have not. this is specifically referencing these liquids which is one of the new trends but it is not how it is intended to be used. when i was a kid i drank half a bottle of pine sol. wasn't particularly good for me and i am still here with a few issues. that is not how the product is intended to use. these are adult products that have to be kept safe. out of the hands of anybody under 18. stuart: obviously not but you have a pr problem that you can't make sure your product is not available and able to be used and swallowed by a 5-year-old. >> i agree and it has to be kept where any medicine is kept, any kind of alcohol is kept, got to keep all those things out of the hands of minors just to keep the

product that is an adult product, replacing tobacco, safe. i would ask you, who's interest is it in to change the dialogue? this is a change of dialogue away from combustibles cigarettes and tobacco. in truth, that is killing 6 million people year. the electronic cigarette industry is a fact and so if i am a tobacco company i am not arguing they are propagating this news or supporting the news but it changed the dialogue from the real issue but i am happy my company just my company alone, we replaced over 100 million cigarettes since inception. that to me is the real news. stuart: another pr problem if i may say so. you have to deal with this one. your opponents are bringing it up a lot. if i use the word peddling that is pejorative. you are selling a drug.

you are selling nicotine which has a specific effect on the human brain and the human brain more than anything else. you are selling -- is addictive and it is. you are selling an addictive drug. i believe there are some people who have given up smoking, traditional cigarettes, they have given them a long time ago but they like the nicotine so they are coming back to your product because they want the nicotine. >> it is a good challenge at a fair challenge. if you look at the science and the facts, you see that in truth, 57% of the people that are smokers that switch from tobacco to electronic cigarettes significantly reduce their tobacco intake. that is something we really like and over 20% quit altogether and that is double the efficacy of any other kind of catches or anything else out there like that so in truth they are working for people but we don't see evidence of people coming back so they can get addicted to

nicotine again. stuart: you got some product with you, the pack of victory cigarettes. if i bought that in a store, i pay sales tax? but i don't pay tobacco taxes. i think if you were to pay tobacco taxes the politicians would flock to your side. >> the politicians would like it because as the tobacco industry goes down they are probably looking at a way to replace that income. we don't think it is fair at all because there is no tobacco in this product whatsoever. why would a regulator acting in the public's best interest do anything to abate the growth of this category and away from the tobacco and tobacco related diseases for health care costs? adam: when you studied the question closely as you must. it is a great pleasure to have you with us, congratulations on the success of your company. i am with you. thanks so much. last hour we told you about the new service, bike careers.

we got one here with us and no, i am not going to ride the bike but we have the executive with us. my dad hacommon kind...llation, ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day.

but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medicacal or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may inease your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing

the risk of stroke with pradaxa. why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york? i tell people it's for the climate. the conditions in new york state are great for business. new york is ranked #2 in the nation for new private sector job creation. and now it's even better because they've introduced startup new york - dozens of tax-free zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years. you'll get a warm welcome in the new new york. see if your business qualifies at startupny.com

judge napolitano: a federal judge orders her to speak and she defies that order there is no crime. i am not talking about the crime she may have done in her job but there is no crime and no punishable contempt. stuart: that was the judge on the low was lerner -- in the last hour. i will say congressman darrell issa says irs agents testified they said liberal and left-leaning groups were not targeted by the irs. elizabeth macdonald is here. this goes to the point the irs is in fact politicized and was during the last presidential election. liz: a goes exactly to that point. the analysis coming out in advance of the hearing on thursday that could hold lois

lerner in contempt, what they're talking about is targeting. the words used to scream, and and bear the word progressive was not used as much as the words like tea party or patriot -- stuart: did the irs say these guys on the left were not targeted, these guys on the right, the tea party were targeted. if that is the case, if the irs itself said that, that means the government was using the machinery of government to intimidate -- liz: according to reports appears irs called agents time hearing executives are telling the house oversight committees that the progressive groups were not targeted as much as conservative groups were. that is the bottom line. that is what they are saying.

stuart: then there is the car service finding apps getting into a new line of business launching a courier service in new york city, here is josh morrow, general manager of new york city. welcome to the program. you got the car service up and running, now you have guys on bikes running around a city. you can help them with, smart phone, take this for me from here to there. >> exactly right. using the same apps you already have on your phone you can request courier by bike or by foot to come, you track progress in your car. ò(beady have on your phone you can reque

district upper west side there omega and the is there an office in 5 or 10 minutes. >> he can carry on his back or his hands directly to where it is going and you follow the progress on the apps and share it with a person expecting it and you will go directly there and to move anything. stuart: let's go to the car sharing service. you had a few problems. is it true that you guys called up to get 100 cars from your

competitor, the get car sharing service and you canceled them all of a sudden? you really screwed up the competition. >> we partner -- stuart: did you do it? >> tell them how good -- i am not confident about our partners to make a living and how freedom in our service and i'm convinced i will make more money and have a better life, and get that message. "imus in the morning" when you went too far. are there on occasion some gouging where on a special light, new year's eve for example i call up to get a car and is a god to me. is that supply and demand? >> absolutely not. surge pricing is a dynamic pricing algorithms the goal of which is to have cars available and when you need them.

a plane ticket right now for an hour from now will be more of that if i booked a month ago. our pricing algorithms adjust pricing every few minutes to make sure there are cars available. our top goal is a reliable ride in the absence of surge pricing there will be no cause available. stuart: your top goal is to go public. >> i am here to talk about the experiment and how excited we are. stuart: when you went to the public. >> new york gm would be wrong of me to come. stuart: you want a piece of the acting? >> every employee is a shareholder. stuart: when you have a vested interest in going public and cashing out. >> we want to make best business we can. lifestyle logistics'. stuart: when might you go public? any plans? >> there are no plans to go public. it is ultimately his decision and he has no plans. stuart: i am just giving you a hard time. >> i know what i am here for. stuart: when you can come back any time you like. great new service, thank you.

government all about restricting you, controlling you. nowadays there are so many regulations that you can't make a false move without lawyers coming after you. even john stossel agrees with me. my take on all of that is next. >> drowning in thousands of regulations, many of these are old outdated, nobody even knows what is in these rules but if i did one i'm in trouble. when folks in the lower 48 think about what they get from alaska,

they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country,

people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

[ male announcer ] troubleshoot, manage appointments, and bill pay from your phone. introducing the xfinity my account app. stuart: is lunch time. one of bring a couple lunch time winners? we talk about renting some space in your home or -- home away, one of their competitors at 4%. here's another momentum play bouncing back that will be facebook, 58. coming up, dr. manny alvarez was fox, obamacare is destroying practice, he makes his case five minutes from now. when rules and regulations hit you directly, in and around your own home you start to understand

the real impact of government. bureaucrats who want to run your everyday life are the real enemies of freedom. here it is my take. a new book from philip howard goes righ to the heart of the regulation problem. considers the situation in franklin township new jersey, a nasty storm, a tree falls into a stream, the authorities want to take it out of the stream is they can't just fire up the chain saw and haul it out. there are rules governing what you can do when water is involved and rules about trees too. who cares if you need to act fast? rules are rules. if you break from the lawyers will sue for their 30%. franklin township had to spend $12,000 for permits and studies about the impact of removing one 3. it took 12 days to get the work done. is that nuts or what?

the point is government and the government mind set is all about restricting you, handing you win, controlling you and the lawyers are always there to take their peace. when regulation hits you directly you soon start losing your enthusiasm for government. i remember the three forms and doctor's visit that were required for a 15-year-old 2 take a part-time job at a bakery or the town near me that had to spend $3,000 to replace the curbstone because that required moving soil. it gets to you and puts you off doing things. jumping through all these hopes really worth it? no. the dead hand of government puts a big barrier right in front of you. of course you have to have some form of regulation. anarchy is not attractive to me at least but i get the impression this administration is gung-ho for any and all rules. this government doesn't trust the people.

it doesn't trust us to make the right decisions for ourselves and our families of demand the certain kind of health insurance and it demands the we buy it. you must make your house energy-efficient and send someone to check up on you, same with your car, your toaster, your toilet and the entire financial system. the list goes on and on. had enough yet? ready to take back a little control of your own life? personally i am tired of $12,000 payment and 12 days of waiting to remove a tree after a storm. aren't you?

>> equal pay day and not obamacare day, the affordable care act guarantees free preventive care like mammograms and contraceptive cares for tens of millions of women. an end the days when you are charged more just for being a woman. stuart: obamacare is destroying his focus. dr. manny alvarez centers into a busy schedule and we appreciate this. destroying your practice. >> every doctor in america, and

working for the hospital and va system, and man or woman in private practice, and going down the toilet. doctor is going to this business because they love the science and their patients, but when you have a system that punishes you for being a doctor, that is what happened. and reimbursing -- stuart: how much you want to -- >> s all ultrasound, $60. you cannot survive economically. a lot of criticism for the peace in regards to doesn't matter if you have insurance, and doctors the taking insurance because they cannot afford to do it, now i find myself trying to refer

patients to an ophthalmologist, dermatologist, cardiologists because you have to end none of those individuals take obamacare in most marketplaces. you have to reinvent the wheel. stuart: when you have patients, you know what they need but you can't find a doctor who specializes in that treatment that will take them. >> if you do find one it is of hundred miles away and as they belong to another medical center or health system so you are disconnected from your own system. obamacare talk about quality. quality means i have a group of men and when, health care i can communicate with them effectively, the patient has a seamless approach to her problem but that is not exactly what obamacare does. it fragments that so you have a doctor here the takes obamacare but the dermatologist, nobody around in the first hundred miles so you have to go the next 200 miles so that takes the individual out of the market

place. appointments are difficult to come by because if you have some specialty service that is only 200 miles away and they are the only ones taking the obamacare they will be busy so you won't see them the next day. how could you effectively run a system of health care this way? that is why people are leaving private practice and say i have had it, no more. stuart: i you going to say that? >> i am thinking carefully about it. i provide a service that is kind of unique because of my specialty but it is getting harder and harder to stay afloat. malpractice, $100,000, no tort reform, reimbursements going down and a comment from a viewer who read my article said in sweden doctors make $35,000 and are very happy. they also get free medical education, free college trying to go through, a new graduate today, those kids have 150, sometimes $200,000 in debt just

to learn how to practice medicine. it is very hard to say live on $75,000. stuart: no malpractice insurance required in a place like sweden. >> they have national reform, protection for patients but -- stuart: what does the general practitioner pay in medical malpractice insurance a year roughly? >> depending on the marketplace it is 20,000 at least for $25,000. for obstetricians it could be anywhere between 80 or a hundred in new york city. stuart: you won't survived at $75,000. stuart: when you are busy guy the thank you very much. do appreciate it. we say it every day tech is king and amazon surpasses hulu and apple in streaming video usage. they have a long way to go to

catch up to netflix. liz: that is right. amazon put out this press release, really exciting press release that it ranks right behind netflix and youtube in streaming but the amount of video content amazon streams is a fraction of what netflix does. netflix streams ten times what amazon and hulu stream into households combined. liz: google making a push to bring its glass head set into the corporate world. tell me all about this one. >> we have been talking about google glass and how it is weird for regular people on main street to wear because what if you use it not as a regular person but as a professional in the working world? would doctors the using it to give many doctors are using it, construction workers can't carry the laptop up the ladder. police departments, everyone is not only using it but experimenting with ways to use it so now we are seeing google glass become more ubiquitous at

this point and there are companies popping up that are figuring out how to make software available to taylor google blast wall these different industries. stuart: you can see behind you. it is up 3%. that is a big gain for stocks like google. thanks. we keep saying it and maybe like a broken record but take is king. however, new tax stocks have taken quite a hit recently. is old take the place to be? the real halftime report covers that story next.

last hour of -- a global media empire. right here in midtown manhattan. in the next hour of risk and reward, but a few moments back to stuart varney and "varney and company". we will be back after a quick commercial break.

stuart: i never know when to

start talking. time for the real halftime report. scott kennedy, nicole of the exchange. liz macdonald here as well. is this recent sell-off in momentum all over again? >> too worthy to tell the lot of similarities to the early 2,000s. the reason i say that is it this moment people using different terminology than the 99s saying it is a new paradigm shift. it is all about eyeballs. a lot of it is nonsense, always earnings and will always be earnings and these stocks are projected to grow at a certain rate you can't justify most of these at the level they are at today, they are priced for five years in the future of good earnings. i wouldn't be buying them. stuart: dot.com revisited? what do you say? >> in a small way but not like it was in the 2000s. we had some of these firms come

and lunch -- evaluation is out of control but not like it was. there was jet fuel behind some of those stocks in the 1990s and darlene 2,000s. evaluations are absurd but we don't have as many. the sell-off will be broad and not quite as broad as it was in the dot.com era. it is small. kind of the same but not really. i am not too concerned. stuart: thanks very much. i want to know about the -- is different this time. liz: that is what they are saying. essentially to what your guest just said in 2002 was rainbows and sunshine behind the numbers coming in. evaluations veer more from reality. ali baba is priced like citigroup for bp oil co. but the fact that those evaluations, talking about slivers of the ipo market. the fed raising rates even if

these tech names slow they may not take down the whole market. stuart: i will move to the stocks we're watching closely to the. particularly old stocks, they are holding their own. looking at the mauna screen. nicole: we shouldn't call them old stocks, should call may be old reliables. we watched so many highflying momentum stocks, you do see some people have moved to the names we know. microsoft, ibm, gillick packard, microsoft, on the ipad, ibm, you do have these old school companies that have really whether all kinds of storms and recreating some cells, ibm selling of different businesses like servers below and just continuing to reinvent themselves so some people want to stick with the all-time greats. stuart: old tech stocks haven't resumed like the new guys on the block. are you buying these blue chips?

ibm common hewlett-packard, microsoft? charles: i like what nicole petallides and about reinvention. i'm not buying them but looking at them differently. that is a $20 in a few weeks. microsoft if they pull back there will be some value. stuart: i am waiting for the full throated approval of microsoft. utility stocks. i know you love them and they're on a tear this year. want to tell me why? >> they are up 10% year to date and i continually love them and the reason is they have real earnings and earnings come from business that does not require them to the outside the u.s. and one reason we're seeing earnings revisions is people are scared of world events. i would be overexposing myself in the utility sector today. if you a pure anti that is what i am doing, buy utilities in your portfolio today. stuart: you got a warning about james river, a coal company? he filed for bankruptcy. charles: this is a cautionary

about the administration and policy. effectively we can chalk this up to an obama of the complete in 2011 this was a $26 stock. today it is down $0.34 and they point to the changes in regulation. natural gas is presenting a problem but what happened in this industry is un-american. is a disaster. stuart: let's not forget gold. it is update% this year. you like gold at $1,300 an ounce? >> you can levitate with 1300-1350 but i am a selling between 1380-1400 because i believe you should buy gold for two reasons, number one and inflation hedge, we don't see inflation, proven not to be inflationary and armageddon that we don't have armageddon. let these folks by a to 1580 and i am a seller. stuart: an honest man. that is it one and all for the halftime report. charles is going to talk about amazon. thanks to everybody. all those people on screen we thank you very much.

you are going to talk about amazon because the viewers ask you about amazon. they tweeted hash tag ask pain and see what about amazon? charles: i said before these tech stock started falling the amazon would have a different criteria in terms of having to produce earnings. the stock is on the tennis court, between the base line and the volley where the stock is now. i wouldn't sell it but wouldn't be an aggressive buyer either. one of these names all somali taken back, that you are in march, month over month, one of these things where i prefer to buy one of these, and closing above 340 or let it go down to 300. stuart: if you have it, hold it. charles: even if they are early, i would not want to take a loss.
