have a good memorial day weekend. right now is time for "varney and company". stuart: good morning. can you believe this? uber is worth $12 billion. it is the taxi apps. welcome to the valuable sharing the mission list's brave new world. google works on a tablet with a 3d camera. 300,000 federal workers, $3 billion in back taxes, you pay but they don't. a big night for president obama, fund-raising, $35,000 in chicago. we bring you a dramatic forecast. l athe next detroit. cheer up, memorial day weekend and "varney and company" are about to begin. ♪ stuart: here are the big names which we are watching this

morning. hewlett-packard sales down, but 16,000 jobs will go. that is on top of 34,000 announced earlier, that is cost cutting. the market likes it, up 6%. a wider loss, lower sales at aerospace show and the kiss of death, teens don't like its fashions lead down it goes, 22%. that is a drop. more money coming then at game stop. thank you x box and placed asian iv, that is a near 5% gain. watch out ipad, google getting back into the tablet business. the new one will have a 3d camera. that is not affecting the stock at all which is dead flat. this contentious statement on my part, tea party candidates knocked out of the primary contests held this week, significant retreat in my opinion. they lost a more traditional, dare i say, moderate republican candidates in kentucky, georgia,

oregon, pennsylvania and idaho. scott hughes is not taking this lying down. cheese prepared to give me a very tough fight on this one. i say voters in those primaries gravitated more to the moderates, the center of the republican party and a little bit away from the tea party. would you go with that? >> i will go with that this week but let's look at the week before. he made the establishment, that is what the primary season is. if we judge lynnes and losses in those categories we will lose when it matters in november. we have to find ways to unite. if we go based on wins and losses we are removed and. stuart: will you unite in november? will you tea party people support the moderates in november? >> we have a lot of good conservatives. this is the right to watch in

mississippi, christmas day in june, his primary, he is up in polls. if chris wins. and we get the truth out of mississippi. stuart: will you support the moderate candidates in those primaries. and will you support him? turnout in the same numbers to support them? >> anything to encourage we will, anyone on our side is much better than someone who voted for harry reid nancy pelosi and that is what the conservatives or libertarians, we have to unite behind that. irs and the va, we won't find the truth unless we get control of the senate. stuart: you are with the tea party news service, tea party news network. as long as i get that. sit there for a second and something else i know you are

going to comment on. federal employees, $3 billion in back taxes. and 318,000 federal workers they ellen average of $10,000 each. there is more. that includes 714 staffers on capitol hill, $9 million. >> that is why the tea party exists. the infuriating part is $1 million in bonuses headed out to irs employees of not pay their taxes. how can you will the private sector accountable when our own government, the only people who grew during the last economic, they are not paying their taxes. stuart: we are used to charles getting all fired up especially on friday morning. charles: we talk about this every day. the fact they live off taxpayer money makes it worse. i think it is interesting with congress saying we are looking

around world and there are some amazing elections around world where people fed up with cronyism the tea party fight against, crony capitalism, subsidies, welfare mentality, we have seen in asian countries, indonesia and the independence party, they won a gigantic swath of seats, 139 raises, don't know if it is fixable. >> vonage wages, it and -- not the government sector. stuart: there are steps which the irs can't take. charles: $3.3 billion is a mind-boggling number. and the delinquency rate is greater -- charles: can we give a shout out going to memorial day weekend, the lowest delinquency rate.

>> that is why you need to pay our taxes. they're doing their job right. stuart: we reached consensus here. that is different from consensus. check the big board, ladies and gentlemen. we got a modest rally, 16589 getting close to 166. new home inventories went up, there is more new homes available for sale, inventory at a three year high, but year on year new home sales were down. we have more about this on the housing market, seems to be flat lining or declining. more on that later in the show. big deals and where, it is a big deal singular between 90 and man you. why was this not the lead headline of the show? nike has a deal with man you? nicole: nobody talking about new home sales. let's focus on manchester

united. and because the advertising at their home turf, i am sure you have been too, we will see whether stuart varney has been there and the question is whether they are going to renew but it will cost more. the current deal which is $510 million, 13 years. the new deal is hovering, $600 million. nike has the right to match any other suitors and we will see if they move forward with this but this is a prominent place in the stadium and they have all the rights -- they don't want to pay too much for this. stuart: that is a lot of money. thanks very much. let's go to california. is los angeles the next detroit? that is a statement. los angeles is the next before. james lacy says yes, l a is the next the troy. he is the author of a very successful book we feature on the show frequently, taxifornia.

hold on a second. that is one devil of the headline. >> l.a. is the next detroit. stuart: make your case. >> you're an economist, gradual the london school of economics. we have an economics school in el a at the ucla anderson school and the recently introduced a report that said in the last 24 years there has been zero job growth in the city of los angeles. that is a city of 10 million people. you figure you don't have job growth you likely don't have the healthy expansion of the tax base that you need to keep income coming in to the city. you can see we have a problem. involves connecting the dots. when you connect the dots from the anderson school study to the point that public employee pension liabilities in the city of los angeles of grown 25% in each year annually for the last

ten years. l.a. will go broke. stuart: in each of the last ten years, public liabilities in los angeles of gone up 25% in each of the last ten years. >> the city leaders don't get it. in this last year city spending is scheduled to rise 6%. if you compare that to the obama administration, and the federal budget deficit is increasing, federal spending is not increasing but in los angeles the spending is increasing. they don't get it and it is perilous because recently it was announced that toyota is -- we will lose 5,000 jobs. stuart: when you got to put a time frame on this, no net new job creation in 23, 24 years and exponential rise in pension liabilities, that looks like detroit but what is the time frame for bankruptcy in los

angeles? >> public employee pension system doesn't have more than 10 or 15 years, it is only 50% funded. stuart: when you got a decade then. >> a decade but a decade to economic ruin. some predictions say it could file for bankruptcy in two to three years. most pension plans are funded 30 years. shrinking is small and we have this terrible problem of continuing high cost of living in the city which caused in part by the high taxes in california. california passed proposition in 2012, proposition 30 which raised state sales taxes and consumption taxes in the state in general are very high. when you put that on top of los angeles is a recipe for economic disaster. stuart: another one about los angeles. the federal government announced it is going to spend $2 billion, the use that in los angeles to extend the subway from downtown

los angeles to the beach in santa monica. >> liberals have this idea that if you could conquer the problem of transportation in los angeles by creating public transportation systems like washington d.c. new york and chicago went other places that this would somehow help the economy but it is not going to help the economy. the notion of transporting yourself by car is ingrained in southern california because the distances are so far from each other. what they should do is lower the gas tax. if they lower the excise tax on gasoline -- a wonderful effect on helping poor people and people -- stuart: what is going on here? the people of kentucky or missouri or new jersey, we are giving $2 billion to you guys to build a boondoggle subway? >> billion of dollars they want to put in jerry brown's bullet

train in the central valley from fresno -- stuart: you are just a bunch of beaches. >> california provides a tremendous part of the tax base for the united states and california has terrific wealth but the reality is the state is going further and further into bankruptcy because of unfunded public employee pension liabilities. people need to wake up. stuart: you wrote the book ta f taxiforn taxifornia. it is selling well, deservedly so. thanks very much. why are you always in new york? >> i am californian trying to help the economy. stuart: time is money. in twenty-second here's what else we of got this friday. new feature on facebook's mobile apps. this new feature could allow them to listen to everything you say without you knowing, got that? your private conversations not private. we will nail this down with our

tech to rule later in the show. amazon giving a select group of customers and opportunity to try their fire tv freak, a 30 day trial you get free, you don't have to put down $100, amazon's stock is up this morning, national average gas price above the $3 mark, for 3.5 straight years. the average for regular at this moment as you set out from memorial day weekend just under $3.70 per gallon, five in california. >> $0.70 of that our taxes. that is why you are in new york. stuart: up next, major utility announcing it is the victim of a cyberattack. forget having a private information stolen from a website. this is a hacker threat we should be worried about. we got that one for you. as we head to memorial weekend look at this. this is in china, may be on a

ridge two stories out, falls out, a guy runs summer, he is waiting and here comes the baby and it is caught. the baby is safe. the mom comes running up and she is really happy. isn't that good video for memorial day weekend? we will play it again for you.

my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...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 medical 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 increase 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. the numbers are impressive. over 400,000 new private sector jobs... making new york state number two in the nation in new private sector job creation... with 10 regional development strategies to fit your business needs.

and now it's even better because they've introduced startup new york... with the state creating dozens of tax-free zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years. become the next business to discover the new new york. [ male announcer ] see if your business qualifies. stuart: friday morning not too bad. we just hit 16,600. not a bad way to go to a long weekend. the price of oil up $104 a barrel. gas prices probably going to go up. charles says you can make money with eggs. that is not the name of a company, that is the product. charles: we had the guys from taco bell here with the egg sandwich. this breakfast war is amazing. the demand for eggs going through the roof, protein diets,

halmaine is the company, a producer. they were able to sell a dozen eggs for $1.42, there cost was $1.35 you're going to cost was high. they're making money hand over fist and this trend will continue and continue and now they beat up their exports, demand for eggs around the world huge, stocks at a high but i think it goes higher, not expensive at all and i don't think these are short-term trends. stuart: the egg market, you buy into it. interesting, charles, you bring us some good stuff. good luck with the new show. this is no laughing matter, this is serious stuff. homeland security reporting that utility power grid has been hacked. the utility company remains the name to this is the type of hack we have got to be worried about. joining us, former cyberadvisto. this gets me worried because if you can hack into the power grid

you can shut it down some obvious question is how vulnerable are we? >> we are pretty vulnerable. one of the things we recognized back in 1997, president clinton asked a bunch of people to get together and say where are we on the critical infrastructures specifically the energy sector and the bottom line with we have antiquated equipment generally connected to a phone line now being connected to administrative thing with the financing, e-mail systems up and that is connected to the internet which now gives all these guys who have been doing research on digital control devices the ability to research and find out where the vulnerabilities do things like it has been reported this week. stuart: this hack into these utility do you know anything more about it? the hacker, was that person in a position to shutdown that part of the grid? >> that is the part that is unknown. when we use the term grid we have to be specific because we

talk about the north american grid, it is not as if an on or off condition, there are many parts of it, some are small, some are large, we worry more so than the entire system shutting down its regional things particularly with what we had recently, an area, people actually die out of it. in this case it looks like there are two things that have taken place. somebody got on the net worth watching how these digital devices often times related to collecting intelligence, finding out how they work and use it for later ron. the other thing is getting into the network like the e-mail system. there is access to the control systems. by all accounts no one did anything with it but they are investigating. stuart: two more points. earlier this year there was a report of a physical attack on a utility in california, a switching station was shot up. i will show video of that.

that is separate from hacking into its computer system but it is a concern obviously. the other thing i want to raise is stucknet. that is house somebody, presumably israel or america got into iran's nuclear operation and planted a nasty old bug which slowed in down. is it possible to use stocksnet against the utility control operation in the united states? >> for the physical attack that is something we were worried about, nondescript little buildings which are server things that you take those off line and get once again to bring down local and regional power so that continues to be a threat. we need to not just focus on the cyberpeace. on the second piece, when we look at this system the way it is designed and the hackers and what is going on around world, there's a lot of activity going on gathering information on what

they could do for it and people have to do investments. stuart: can you stop it? >> you can slow down, reduce risks by doing better authentication but that is another discussion. stuart: howard schmidt, we appreciate it, thanks for joining us. then we have uber, a taxi apps valued at $12 billion. just look at how the sharing of the economy is gaining value. charles on that next.

when folks 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. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. 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. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five 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 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close. introducing at&t mobile share value plans... ...with our best-ever pricing for business. that, my friends, is everything. and with the quicksilver card from capital one, you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase.

stuart: uber may be worth $12 billion. it is a taxi apps, only has 550 and police, $12 billion, here's what john stossel said about uber yesterday. >> companies like air b&b that are just probably breaking the law, getting so many customers that by the time sleepy regulators pick on them they have enough to say you probably

don't want to do this. the permission list economy that happened with the government. stuart: i got to tell you the london offices of van uber rival have been vandalized by establishment cabdriver's because they're breaking into the established businesses. you heard john stossel. this is nothing new. this is the sharing, the permission list society, the permissionless economy. looks every market. charles: does look like a free market. i have seen a lot of industries that have come a band regulators jump on it. what all of this destructive stuff is, regulators blocking for established industries. air b&b blocking for the hotel industry. uber you can understand taxi drivers paying money for these medallions that you drive in new york you see buses, we will make sure your first month you get 5 grand if you are a cabdriver. it goes on and on and on.

you can't stop it. you can slow it down. stuart: i have a friday story charles brought to our attention a moment ago. italy will now factor in drugs and prostitution into the calculation of its gdp. you have 15 seconds to explain that. charles: a lot of countries have done things like this including us. we have added in tangibles to our gdp that gave us an extra $500 billion, brought down the debt to gdp level. this will take it much farther. some people estimate the mafia is the biggest business in italy, the one hundred billion dollars a year in revenue, $60 billion in cash, 15% of their economy. imagine if your gdp could top 15% overnight. that would be the equivalent of america $2.4 trillion. lenore bond rating goes straight up. stuart: here we go. charles: all the problems are solved. if you can get the money. stuart: political turmoil in the middle east, russia, thailand,

terror attacks in china, trouble over is there and scandal, lots of it over here. president obama is attending fund-raisers, touring the baseball hall of fame. what is going on? good question, we answer it next. ♪

stuart: the latest from iran. banning instagram. we told you about the happy viral video. they were eventually released. other social networks are banned to the general public they are. high-ranking officials still do have access. that is the update of the day. the irs and va scandals alone, the irs have a lot to do to make it right. two fundraisers and chicago last night. i will express the opinnon that that is bad pr for the president. first of all, bill, would you agree with me that that is bad optics? raising money at a time of intense scandal.

>> it is understandable that presidents will want to do fundraisers from time to time. at a time where there are lots of crises going on, you need to be seen as taking action. stuart: the president needs to raise a lot of money so he can defend his administration, the fed is history, if you like, come the november elections. getting involved in the day-to-day scandals which would make you look bad anyway. how about that from a pr standpoint? >> the best way to defend his presidency is to do stuff now. do things that you could use to show that you are leaving. stuart: can he do that bill? government bureaucracy does not do well when it is running a

healthcare system. if he gets involved in that, he is almost negating the privacy of his policy. >> it is a perfect example. both political parties agree that there is a problem there. he has been too loyal to the leadership. understanding that the general is an american war hero. he is not the right guy this time to turn the situation around. he can make a move, but putting someone much more aggressive in that job. maybe general petraeus is looking for some redemption. we show that he is engaging. he could show up that va hospitals. take some action showing that he really does care. demonstrate that he cares. stuart: that is good stuff.

very important points here. the president fundraising and promoting tourism. thank you for joining us, sir. appreciate it. guess who just walked onto the set. he has a story for us about some blog. let's see if i have this right. america's fda. >> food and drug administration. stuart: i know that. [laughter] stuart: they are blocking the importation of very good, high-quality cellblock from europe. why? >> there are ingredients that protect against all kinds of ultraviolet light, better than what we have here, last longer. they have had these in front of them since 1999. they have not allowed them to get through. first i followed your line of

thinking. i thought maybe there was a conspiracy here. it is not. i am confident it is jusual bac. not enough attention to this. "the fda recognizes that public health importance of sunblock used and has prioritized with viewing the safety and effectiveness of sunscreen ingredients as quickly as possible and everything." stuart: you make the judgment. their sunblock is better than ours. >> in many ways, yes. i would say yes. speed. stuart: you think their sunblock produces risk? >> no.

bipartisan legislation was introduced earlier this year to speed up this process. this is a disgrace. stuart: i have manufacturers that put out sunblock in america of one kind. that's a manufacturer puts sunblock out in europe of a different kind and better, but they cannot bring it over here. the same manufacturer. >> yes. stuart: get a move on. >> we spoke to a manufacturer. they had these applications before the fda. trying to get them approved. this is the latest innovations in sunblock. stuart: if i load up on sunblock, highly unlikely, but if i brought it back, would that be illegal? >> not to do it that way.

stuart: if you go onto the internet with a friend store, that would not be illegal. would you use it? stuart: do you use sunblock? >> i am supposed to. i have been somewhere before. stuart: can you swim? >> i want to push this to a serious note. we should all be using sunblock every day. even in the winter. we should be using spf 30. skin cancer is the number one cancer in the united states. over 70,000 cases of melanoma every year. stuart: i am not laughing. i am not laughing. charles: but there is no conspiracy. >> 15 years. stuart: i did have skin cancer four years ago and it was

honestly, he actually said that free market capitalism is more important than democracy. he cannot go back to russia right now. if he goes back, he will not be allowed to leave again. stuart: he was speaking at the cato institute. >> yes. his words on capitalism definitely got a great response. so many great lines. a natural born chess player, also a natural born politician. he said if david cameron and barack obama would have been in

power, he would still be playing chess with the soviet union. stuart: really? very critical of barack obama. >> he gets to the point better than any republican politician working right now. stuart: what does he have to say? >> he was electrifying. i am working on a book project right now. what is funny about that? so many people talk about freedom and democracy. he says how many times was democracy mentioned? not once.

his issue of the american dream is very specific. fifty-three points higher for the dow industrials. now this. samsung. announcing it will release a virtual reality headset. clayton still here. a headset. like a helmet. you wear it. you see the stock going up. i have seen these things before, but they never solved the seasickness problem. >> are you shocked? suddenly, samsung has a watch. it is a shock. samsung loves to make a subpar version of a product so they can run out there and say first. we got there first.

for the government to snoop on your phone calls. our next guest says not so. before it passed, the bill was gutted. holly geiger is senior counsel for the center for democracy and technology. that is a strong word, gutted. there is no change for the nsa can snoop away after at will? >> even though the bill was gutted the fact is the house of representatives did overwhelmingly passed a bill that does place some limits on mass surveillance of americans and that is the first time that has happened in many decades. the bill was gutted. when it was first introduced the u.s. the freedom act did include an effective lead on mass surveillance of americans but at the last minute last stop before the bill hit the house floor for a vote a key provision in the bill was significantly weakened and caused many civil liberty groups and tech companies to pool their support of the bill and when it hit the floor finally what came out was a bill

that place a limit on nationwide surveillance of americans but still allow unacceptably broad surveillance of people with no connection to a crime or terrorism. stuart: the nsa still requires a court order to check and individual. is that correct? >> yes and no. the nsa would require a court order to check millions of people, a single court order can lead to the surveillance of millions of people. stuart: what would you say to someone like me? this is my opinion. i am worried about the future of nuclear terrorism, i think we will be threatened by in the near future. i don't mind if my government's new john merrick and their phone calls in order to stop a nuclear terror incident before it happens. in my opinion snoop away. i don't have a problem. what do you say to people like me? >> i share your concerns and i want to ensure the united states

days secure. no one is saying surveillance should be going away entirely. the point is to change from mass surveillance to targeted surveillance and no one with any credibility says targeted surveillance should not exist. absolutely the government should be able to listen in on phone calls or czech phone metadata with due process and if they are targeting an actual threat but what we have here is the government is collecting sensitive information about the whole nation. although you may trust the government today the fact is we do not know what the government will be like in another generation or two. stuart: point taken very well indeed. 9 understand that. you say tech companies have withdrawn their support and what does that mean? does that mean they will not comply with a court order that

looks at this particular personal group. >> the tech companies and civil liberties organizations have withdrawn their support of legislation meaning we no longer think because of the last-minute change we no longer think it is an effective limit on mass surveillance of americans. the bill now heads to the senate and that is the best place, the best chance for changes, significant improvement to the bill so i urge listeners to call their senators. stuart: interesting debate. i am going to follow this through. we had a significant libertarian factor within our audience. very interested in this as are all americans but libertarians in particular. thanks very much, appreciate it. the dow is up 57 points. there is the news of the day. looks like it will stay for a while, 15-6 is where we are. the taxi service, it is an apps

coming forward by phrasings this thing for an ipo. the problem is these late round fundings are higher and higher valuations because there is so much demand for these things, we wonder if they're paying a fair price. i don't think anybody doubts consumers love this company. the question is about the are you nation. stuart: it is a disruptive, $12 billion got to raise eyebrows on that one. what else are we watching today? is hewlett-packard, the stock is up because it is covering a lot of jobs. nicole: we are already on that one. we will take a look, stocks of 7%. they started on the turnaround and going from 27,000 when they started the restructuring in 2012 to 34,000, now 50,000 so more jobs cuts are necessary to streamline the operation, we are

seeing good growth from hewlett-packard, stocks that date to the summer of 2011. stuart: new highs, back to you, we had jb.com debuting this weekend waiting for ali baba to go public, is the market making too much of these ipos from china? >> yes, 15 times oversubscribe, without outside its range on the high end. a few years ago companies in china were so opaque they had inventory that wasn't there. there was not a lot of standards in china, ali baba will come out with $250 valuation. and 15 years ago, that is almost double what amazon is. we are making a bid too much, this is an incredible co. but

all the incredible buys are what we are talking about. stuart: when you sound skeptical. clean, x box and p s 4 are helping game stop's bottom line. the gaining market had all gone to download. >> a lot of gamers said we want the physical copies of these discs because we want to play them in three days which a lot of gamers do and they hand them back out to someone else to play them and the prius and the market is enormous so game stop is not going to let this lie and a lot of gamers were excited that microsoft walked this back. it will be digital restrictions. they walked it back and deegan hardware sales doing really well and turning a nice profit for sony for the first time not taking a loss. stuart: game stop is the top performer of 500 stocks in the s&p 500. new home sales down a little

year over year, a ton of new homes available for purchase, that is the inventory level. that it all up, is that a black eye for housing? >> because of a year over year number we are talking 4% down year over year. everyone celebrated once again to they like they did yesterday, month over month, remember, the horrible weather, the fact that you have builders trying to build multifamily units, speaking of multifamily stories when it comes to housing, not single-family homes, and these are rentals people are not buying. we are seeing the same story with existing home sales and new home sales only a fraction of the market, 15%, 85% existing, at the same time it goes in line even though builders tell me they are building projects, they are very hesitant, not confidence, this does not convince me the housing recovery has picked up steam.

stuart: you heard the expression sell in may and go away, five days left to do that. do you think we should be doing that? going away and selling now? >> most people would like you to go away in a. this market has been terrible to invest in. all your momentum plays of left and there is no conviction. look at this market and there's not a direction for this market either up or down and getting a lot of indicators with housing, not really good but not really bad either. this is a wait and see and i don't see much happening over the summer. stuart: i have this question for you and everyone else will blend in. just a few moments ago this weekend, memorial day weekend, i will light a giant bonfire on my farm. are you allowed to like giant bonfires in bermuda? >> i don't think you are. there are only 20 square miles. i am not sure what you are allowed to do here.
