microbial content and all these things. not for us to eat yet but if there's any left over we might get a little bite. >> thanks to nasa astronaut steve swanson and rick mastrac h mastracch mastracchio. stuart: good friday morning, this is not steve jobs's apple. tim clark paid $3 billion for a second-rate and the company. maybe he is buying into the screening business. president obama koch spinning the climate report. janice dean knocked it down and she was right. the irs says it will release all lois lerner's e-mails, all of them. the nfl is king. media extravaganza last night, a huge audience and a slew of instant millionaires.

3 loser in the s&p 500. stuart: that is a rotten shark. thanks, have a happy friday. the president using the results of the national climate assessment report to push his green agenda all week but if you read deep into the record you find results are not quite in line with the president's message. i will quote directly from the report. there has been no universal trend in the overall extent of drought across the continental u.s. since 1900. trends in severe storms are uncertain and being studied extensively. no clear connection between extreme weather events and global warming, the opposite of what the president said. right now from the president's the report that is where this quote cames from, seems to back up what janice dean told us earlier this week. >> people who get a 5 day forecast and say look at this flooding in florida, this is

11:06 am
do this? global climate change is low on the list of priorities for american voters. he has gotten a lot of flak for pursuing this before an election. why is he doing this? >> the president's based is anti fossil fuel so there is an effort to regulate carbon content. stuart: sorry to interrupt, but how big is that based? how much of america is reall against fossil fuels? >> a very small fraction but the folks this president often plays to, the folks he tries to keep satisfied so he can continue to have the positions that he does, the influence and power he believes he has so he is playing to a tiny fraction of the american population but they are very vocal, occupy positions in hollywood and the media and places where they can be very vocal and amplify this false message. stuart: the irs has agreed to release all e-mails from lois

good luck. check the big board. where are we on a friday morning. you have to look at apple. it is putting some of their cash forward into buying a headphone maker. there is also news on the iphone front. reports that the new iphone six is coming in august. two things to go at. >> this is the new version everyone is waiting for. 5.5 and up. usually, apple unveils new iphones in september, october.
12:08 pm
according to reuters, it will be in august. stuart: any ideal why they are moving it up to august? >> it could be because there are two different versions. 80 million units are expected to be in production by the end of the year. 80 million being produced by the end of this year. >> yes. absolutely. they may just want to have one out there for sure before worrying about the bigger version. left. stuart: yes. we have the author of inside apple. >> i do not have any information. i am sort of abuse that everyone is responding to these rumors.

if they bought beats, i think it would make sense in transitional accusations. two things that could work well with apple. i think you are right to point that out. i think dr. dre actually jumped the gun with his facebook appearance. he may have scotched the deal, so to speak, by saying that. all right. hold on a second. arista networks. that is a private company. they said the ceo would like to offer you options to pay the friends and family price for shares of the company's upcoming ipo. in other words, you offered a special deal to write favorably about this company and the ipo and you get special insider
12:10 pm
price. >> that is slightly overstating it. buying shares in ipo that the ipo that the company gives to people it feels close to for one reason or another. it would be the same price as i understand it. there was a no discussions. is that a signal of what? do you think? this was one example that we are in a technology bubble. the way we were in the late 90s. in other words, when professional companies do not have a good sense to know that it is completely unacceptable to offer her friends and family shares to a journalist. the people have taken leave of their senses.
12:11 pm
it is consistent with a bubble, stuart. >> if you offer the ipo price, you would get that ipo price. the possibility being that the stock picks off that day and you can make a lot of money very, very quickly. that is kind of the nature of the author. >> offering that sort of idea that the investment bankers priced it at a level that the institutional shareholders will be able to make money. stuart: you are right. that was a bubble. i hope you are wrong that this is not bubbly right now in some stocks. >> there are bubbles and there are bubbles.
12:12 pm
it clearly is not that way in the stock market. few technology stocks are ridiculously overvalued the way social media stocks are. it is relatively inexpensive. that was not true with big technologies companies in the late 90s, early 2000. i am not saying it will be as bad as then. there is a lot of qualitative data points that remind me of that time. stuart: well said. always a pleasure. thank you very much for being on the show today. we love to follow 3d printers on this show. nicole, what is going on? nicole: 3d printing. down six 16%. they matched the estimates.

question, hollywood turnaround, outrage on the owner of the iconic beverly hills hotel to share real omaha. steven colbert made fun of me last night. it was funny. i will respond later this hour. 32 guys got picked in the nfl draft last night and became instant millionaires. here is my kate, my advice. most of these young men are probably not used to having serious money so they are probably not prepared for what is coming. here is what i would do. at first, nothing. resist the impulse to spend. take time to figure out the new world of wealth. i say six months at least, do nothing, no flashy cars, houses, bling or anything else, until you have a better handle on the cash. i would also be tight, thrifty,
12:28 pm
why throw it around just because you have got it? surely the objective is to keep it long-term. you are in your 20s. beware of great investments operated by friends or relatives. you are in the football business, not restaurants, bars or nightclubs and absolutely no loans. one more thing, right of free check yourself. no money goes out without your signature. it is your money. you keep control of it. that is my advice but you got to remember where i am coming from. i am sheep, i am thrifty. i don't enjoy spending. i enjoy having capital because to me that is liquid freedom. to me it is more fun piling it up and shoving it out the door. i am probably in the tiny minority. most people do not share my approach to money. these youngsters are probably dead opposite from me. many of these young men will get far more out of life with a

12:35 pm
turn a little? our expert on all things hollywood is here. do you think this does mark anything of a turning point? that finally some people in hollywood are objecting to something like sharia? >> any decent person should object to the imposition of sharia law so -- hollywood on the back. for taking this position. it is interesting that they are making this big story of the small islamic country that most people never heard of but yes they won't take similar protests and senses on other countries in the middle east that have similar statutes of sure real law. like united arab emirates. dubai has there an international film festival that is a hot spot for celebrities and yet their police force is entrapping gays using online dating services and jailing them, these are places
12:36 pm
that stone for adultery or throw you in prison for adultery and hollywood is fine filming their movies in the united arab emirates. it is a small step to protest small islamic country, for all the good it would do and they are spending money in dubai and abu dhabi and other places where you have that share reimposition and they don't do anything about it. stuart: it is a boycott of the beverly hills hotel. i understand quite a few events have been canceled because of this boycott. is having some effect on that hotel. and it has generated a lot of publicity. you got to say that. >> why not boycott dubai? one not boycott their international film festival? why are george clooney and others, j. low debt accounted a few months ago in dubai? the same place that is arresting as for being in homosexual relationships. if they are going to boycott
12:37 pm
this small islamic country i say they should take it not just a little step further but bring huge international exposure to other human rights in justices that are happening. if anything this boycott of beverly hills hotel is hurting the employees of the beverly hills hotel. doesn't look like a sultan is going to say this hotel, that bennett stuart: that was the of this side of the coin. uconn boycott the hotel, the owner, the sultan. they will suffer from that. i am surprised to see the strength of this develop. i am not used to hollywood celebrities going against anything. last word to you. >> all of these supposed sharia law. if they use their megaton to

kennedy, nicole at the stock exchange, ed butowksi from dallas lauren simonetti in new york. steve jobs, would he have bought a headset company like beets? >> not a change in the world. he built a great company and did it organically, had no interest in going outside and buying companies. the beat purchase probably had to happen and other purchases will happen because they have so much cash in shareholders' want growth and they can't innovate, except apple tv. steve jobs would not approve of this purchase. stuart: is this the company that apple, steve jobs bill? st. louis steve jobs company when they make a purchase like this? >> the accompany but not after a purchase like this. my daughter and a pair of those head phone that i have used them and they roquet. they are technologically cool. but they are not iconic. this is not an apple product. if you look at the product as a whole, it is the few really want
12:44 pm
streaming what they're going after go for 4 billion, pie spotify. stuart: the market is reacting badly. apple stock is down 1% after an acquisition like that. the market is passing judgment on this if it is not a steve jobs move. let's move on. other stuff we are covering for you. beats, still with that story, has a brand new streaming service, its rival, pandora, which is in the streaming business in a mature sense that stock is up. could this be because people think apple will buy pandora? what do you say to that? and nicole? go-ahead. >> when you saw pandora this morning on the downside obviously talked about the idea of jitters and competition. you have beats and apple kind of band that would obviously bring on competition to pandora and spotify. however, it is interesting.
12:45 pm
people looking into this, they don't see this as an accomplishment as they delve into it. you can see pandora moving to the upside, up 2-1/4%. for the near-term, it goes through. right now there seems to be a lack of it. stuart: i am surprised. apple has $170 billion cash, something like that. they could have bought pandora for $10 billion? as scott pointed out you could buy spotify for 4. >> one company in a category purchase or an offer made for it, other companies are going to start rising because they think they are in play. the other theoretically on the market. you will see rises in a lot of companies very similar to any streaming company. stuart: let me move on to a different subject, mcdonald's testing season fries. why are they doing this? >> northern california and st.
12:46 pm
louis. they need new products. the menu is getting more confusing. they are not missing with the original size above. we are always talking about millennials eating food with one hand, you got to make these yourself, you by the fries and one of three seasonings like garlic, promise and and shake it up in a bag yourself. 2 is going to want to do that? stuart: we didn't know that. that is interesting. i don't want to leave you out of the discussion. go. >> i tell you what. i am all for the change in tastes but not the extra work involved. we don't need any more work, we need easy over the counter. i understand why they are making the change. this could be a disastrous new drive. >> not sure this is good competition for the satisfied from burger king so that is more low-calorie french fries and not sure this is the answer. stuart: ed butowksi has the last word on the fraud.
12:47 pm
>> in this body about 15,000 are directly from the original french fry and i absolutely there was one food i am addicted to, mcdonald's french fries. i love them. stuart: hard work. the nfl draft, back to you. what advice, you are a money manager. what advice do you have for young instant millionaires? >> your advice was perfect. today and tomorrow, 90% of these people statistics show will be in financial distress five years after they finish playing so it is something i worked closely with. it is a tragedy. if you said to them if you do these you will double your money every few years, rolling in at 10%. do exactly what you see, take big risks, challenges, send a lot of money, you are spot on, take a deep breath and go learn and learn and slowed down so you have that money the rest of your life. stuart: what would you tell them
12:48 pm
to do? >> 30 years ago i was a bench warmer for the university of colorado and a lot of friends that were drafted they deserve a lot of the money they get paid because the average age for an offensive linemen in the nfl today is 54 years old so i say they put their lives on the line they deserve the money that have to make sure the money sticks around. they need to be as careful as they can and take good advice from quality representatives. stuart: ed butowksi or utility stocks are beating the s&p 500. to you think it is time to sell? >> no. they are annihilating them. utilities are absolutely on a roll. i expect that to continue throughout the summer. don't overdo it and if you have done really well maybe bounce a little bit because you get in trouble you are overweight too much of the wrong thing that utilities will continue to drive the market, they will continue to do very well and stick with utilities. stuart: that was quite a charge.
