$10 billion in fines. you think the regulatory environment -- stuart: i didn't know there was a question and answer in this. maria: you are my colleagues. why not have a q&a? stuart: i am not prepared for it. "imus in the morning" maria: you are always prepared. stuart: what do i make of the $10 billion fine? what do i make of it? another rape of the banks because they are unpopular. does that work for you? maria: over to you, have a good show. stuart: good morning. a big news a endure money is moving. europeans take action and the impact washes over a year that printing money, hurting their own currency, they pagans have their uses and the white house scandal lending confidence comes with a price, the president sinks in the polls. you don't believe joe biden, the

vice president says we never promised high-paying jobs. you will hear him say it and you will see netflix publicly blamed cable carriers. is a big day. "varney and company" is about to begin. thursday morning, we are up 24 points. that means we are in record territory. diaz and the 500 coming up another record close, 1929. that was a perilous year. the level of the s&p as of now. look at gold, on the year so far, a calendar year up $40, up $10 today. in europe and new developments, big banks have to pay other big banks to keep money in accounts of big banks so you put 100

euros in you will get 99 euros back. is called a negative interest rate. it is new and happening now in europe. move on to america's benchmark interest rates, the yield on the ten year treasury, no change despite what is going on over there, 2.60%. we can expect maybe an amazon smart phone later this month, that is the speculation, some announcement coming, stock is up $10. investors like the idea. twitter in talks to buy an online music company called sound cloud. the market likes that too, 2.7% gain for twitter. gm's chief mary bara could teach our government about leadership, gm fundamentally failed to meet customers' needs, taking responsibility, fires 15 people, stock up 36. fox news polls making headlines today. the approval level down to 40%. that is the approval of president obama's job

performance. on the other side of the coin 54% disapproved. 55% say the obama administration made the country weaker and this is a financial program, 39% approve of the president's job on the economy. 50% disapprove. all of this very negative numbers for president obama. tomorrow we get the jobs number for the month of may. many jobs have been created but are low-paying jobs. listen to what joe biden said about it. >> we made sure no one got left behind. we didn't guarantee every new job would be a high-paying job. stuart: we didn't guarantee there would be new job would be a high-paying job. now he tells us. monica crowley is here, 30 seconds. >> this doesn't surprise me. a little burst of honesty from

this administration about their economic and approach to job creation which has been nil for the last six years. look at those poll numbers, president obama is in the 30s not just on job approval but the economy, job creation, anything related to the economy, obama care, he is in the 30s. americans are finally waking up to this idea if. is a administration hasn't been interested in job creation. they have been fundamentally interested in a fundamental transformation of the nation, taking the country -- stuart: you are right. fundamentally transforming america. you wrote a book about that. i say you can't reverse this even if the republicans sweep the senate this november. you can't reverse it until you get a republican in the white house, and even then it will be difficult. >> hard to run against sandra paul. stuart: i will narrow you down.

i don't think within the next couple years you can reverse the damage that has been done. >> you can't as long as this president is in office because he holds the major lever of power in a white house. you have to wait until 2016. the republicans are running against hillary clinton, they have an uphill battle too because hillary will position herself as the competent one because the narrative is obama is not competent on foreign policy or the economy. hillary clinton will be the competent one. they will have to challenge her on that because if you get 16 years of this extremist leftist socialist policies locked into america than you really can't reverse it. stuart: socialism. stuart: you have to speak about what is going on in america if you're going to counter it. stuart: check the big board, thursday morning, europeans are taking action and the dow was up 30 points, 16,767.

in europe, take a look at the euro, it is up a little bit, 136 is the quote. in europe you have to pay european banks to take your money. that is the big picture, negative interest rate. trying to explain this. i give $100 on deposit in the bank, they don't pay any interest, they pay $99. charles: they won't pay interest. all these banks, where do they keep their money? central bank, the central bank is saying to these banks we will give you less of your money than you give to us but if you don't hold of what you do? you have to give up. what bothers me with central bank policies is everything goes through the large banks. that is why the notion of too big to fail will always be with us because we bailed out, past, and begged them to use the money that was printed up and when a disaster hits, $4 trillion

becomes a disaster we all feel the pain. is ludicrous it has come to this. they may go down the q e path. mario draghi promised -- you still might -- seduced me a little bit more. you are going to buy all my terrible assets and overpay for the maybe i will lend money. stuart: we are getting some benefits and not much, 30 points up on the dow industrials got to deal with general motors, chief mary bara owner of to the company's mistakes, fired 15 people for misconduct, incompetence or failure to act. she also said we can expect more recalls. i don't know but i think the stock is up. nicole: you were right with that, traded today as high as 3704 but hovering around the lows of the day, she spoke, took

ownership of all the missteps of general motors c, the families who lost their lives because of this and you see the stock down 0.6% but really going forward looking and more recalls, years of litigation and as you noted 15 people fired and at least half of those, more than half were senior executives. more to come from gm but today a little back-and-forth action. stuart: we have some fresh obamacare outrage this thursday morning. the new documents show more than 2 million obamacare applications with data discrepancies. 1.2 million related to income, 500,000 have issues with immigration status, 461,000 have conflicts related to citizenship status. the suspicion is the people falsely reported income or immigration or citizenship status to get a subsidy. >> this is socialized medicine, this is what you get when the

government takes over 1/6 of the economy and this is the tip of the iceberg, this is on the heels of the announcement we got from the congressional budget office, the cbo saying they can no longer accurately assess the fiscal impact of obamacare. this is just the beginning, talk about reversing of the first thing you have to start with is socialized medicine. got to repeals that. stuart: encouraging people to cheat, we'll give you the subsidy. >> waste, fraud and abuse, here it is in spades. stuart: i'm getting all bent out of shape. the price of amazon please review of it you will like this, it is up 9 bucks. they released this video announcing a big event later this month. they are trying to hint that it will be a smart phone. the smart phone announcement we have all been waiting for, at least the analysts have. digital trends editor in chief jeremy kaplan is here. on the video all you could see was people squinting at

something they were holding like this, the implication was it was the smart phone. >> what is this thing i am holding onto? stuart: is it a smart phone? >> we have seen pictures of what is purportedly this device, crazy weird new 3d interface. stuart: 3d interface? what is that? >> it means the stuff you are looking at appeared to be realistic and also means you can interact with the phone in weird ways by tilting it or gesturing at this. follows your eyes and does strange things. that is the rumor we are hearing. either no legal credence to it. stuart: some other device, another piece of hardware like the kindle where the fire. they are expanding everywhere. everywhere. >> the kindle is a good point. this is exactly like the kindle. another way for amazon to sell stuff. that is all they want to do in

the kindle the great job. it helps them to sell things. in theory if they do the same with a smart phone there on all cylinders. stuart: they are called amazon which is the biggest river of the world. one more for you. netflix calling out publicly cable providers by name if they are giving slow internet connections with at&t and verizon customers with a slow connection to netflix, the following screen popped up when they try to stream a movie. you can see it. the verizon or at&t network is crowded, adjusting video for smoother play back. verizon firing back, it is a netflix pr stunt blaming netflix for the slow connection. what is going on? >> so much more complicated than that one screen lead you to believe. netflix is blaming the carrier. the carriers are blaming

netflix. it is a thorny issue. stuart: there's a flight to plays faster speed. >> if you are driving yourself from here to tennessee, they are on your driveway, city own streets, state owned streets, they have their own private streets, lots of streets that is all rubber and asphalt. same with day. data traveling over the internet, lots of people own those. when your netflix dream to get to you because of verizon or all the other carriers involved in that. there are a lot of deals. stuart: netflix is getting out front and saying it is not us, it is them. >> verizon is greedy, netflix is greedy. charles: if you pay extra do you want more access. >> greg point. the thorniest part is for rising gets paid twice when you watch a video on netflix. you, the customer pay for it.

netflix is paying verizon for it. is that right? may be it is. it is hard to serve up that little bit -- stuart: the age of the lane of netflix. stuart: you stream netflix? everyone does. but what am i missing? thank you very much, thank you. it is some harsh stuff for you. amateur hour at the white house, the latest example comes from the state department's mary hart, taken to task by a reporter of bergdahl's release. to nancy pelosi confronted by a

i wanted -- ms. hart does not inspire confidence that she is the person the president chose to represent the state department. ambassador john bolton is with us. it is tough to stand up there and defend the doubletalk. is how we appear to the rest of the world. >> children are wonderful. and that is strong stuff. stuart: that is strong stuff. >> the state department spokespeople under john kerry have been more partisan than any in my experience since my first involvement in government in the reagan administration and the clip that has gone around on

youtube is soldiers who fought with bergdahl in afghanistan don't know what they are talking about when they say he left his post and deserted and said bergdahl knows best what happened that night. it is humorous in a sense because it is so inane but it will be increasingly serious because it is part of what seems to be and obama white house campaign to indians as soldiers who are trying to explain what happened when bergdahl walked off the base. stuart: what is vladimir putin going to say? what does the leader of china think whhn he sees america represented in this way and getting into this kind of mess? what do the terrorists think about that performance? surely, will they be laughing at us? >> that would be the best we can expect from the president through all the top advisers, weakness, lack of experience in the world, lack of seriousness is the only way to describe it.

from the perspective of our adversaries they can use the next 2-1/2 years to take advantage, that is what is going on. if you look at the playing out of ukraine crisis for example vladimir putin was in a deep hole when the government was overthrown in ukraine, he is basically back to where he was before because of the leadership on the western lines. the release of five prisoners from guantanamo bay if the prison guards at guantanamo let these guys walked out they would be court-martialed for incompetence but that is what the president did, he gave away five killers and essentially got bergdahl back in return. is not a good trade. stuart: we are a financial program. we follow people's money. don't know what will happen to people's money. down the road do you think our foreign policy are we going to be pushed in foreign policy to the point where our finances, our money is affected?

>> absolutely. stability in the world is minimal but what stability there is allows international trade, travel communication, since world war ii, has depended on the strength of the united states and its system alliances, obama in five years has gone for the unraveling that, when you reduce stability in the world you reduce economic transactions and economic growth. the risks are very high. stuart: there's a risk the president will turn around and dare i say it? do something rash because he is under such pressure, that too is a danger. >> i don't think the president appreciates the depth of feeling generated by this bergdahl scandal. he is in europe and remove from it. i see in every way the pressure on him growing, his allies in congress, the media are deserting him, press conference

a few moments ago in brussels show he is doubling down, when he realizes how bad this is for him politically and that is what his calculus is always about the risk of him doing something to recoup his political losses is grave indeed. stuart: thanks as always for joining us. i want to show you the big board because we are getting close to 16,800, 16792, that is a new intra-day high as we say. and no point ever has the dow been at that level before. and double marijuana should be regulated, turns out you vote your disagree with me. your take on edible marijuana and regulation coming up next. we are taking your views from facebook. ♪

from president obama. only 40% approve of his job performance. the obamacare administration has made the company weaker. we are a financial program. 58% is approved. tomorrow, we get the jobs number for the month of may. just listen to what joe biden had to say. >> no one got left behind. he did not guarantee that every new job would be a high-paying job. >> we never guaranteed that the new paying jobs would be high-paying jobs. >> i will shock you right now. to some of your watchers, this will borderline on offensive.

why is this not translating to the polls? why is this not translating to my victories? as long as the republicans have this voice that is so far wrong on social issues, issues like gay marriage, things like that, the idea is that you have a small government. if the republicans continue down this track, even though the economy does not look that great, even though these jobs are low-paying jobs, etc., etc. among they will lose. no one will take them seriously as long as they appear to be on the verge of social issues. stuart: that is fascinating. i am shocked. i was not expecting that answer. we will get you to new york and he will sit on the set with me. we may get in amazon smart phone

later this month or a hand to that effect. i think the stock is up, the call. nicole: the launch event in seattle from amazon. rumor has it, there has been youtube, twitter, they aren't leaking out something that everyone is waiting for. it could be a 3d display on some sort of march phone device. we will see. we know that amazon has gotten into hardware. we asked around here. never leaving apple. another said you would have to be crazy big to convince me to come over to amazon. we will see.

stuart: thank you. look at the big word please. this is a broad-based rally. we are up 102. all right. let's listen to what vladimir putin said to a reporter that asked about a possibility of a hillary clinton presidency. i am quoting directly. it is better not to argue with women. crystal wright joins us now. i have to ask you, what do you think? a conservative black chick. what do you think about that statement? >> that is something my father knows never to do with my mother. people have tried to argue with me. it does not always go over too well. women are great mental minds. we have strong documents. not good to argue with us. i think hooton has taken it a

step further. stuart: i am changing subjects. >> putin was saying that she is weak because she has accomplished nothing in respect to foreign policy. she will launch what is probably a presidential campaign in 2016. stuart: you have turned a sexist statement by putin into what you think is an objective statement about hillary clinton being the president of the united states of america. very clever. i will never argue with you. obamacare. about 2 million obamacare enrollees. there were discrepancies in what they said in their application for subsidies. a half-million had discrepancies on -- what do you make of this? >> the whole lot is a mess.

look, what is really troubling is a lot of these people that may be getting subsidies may not qualify for them.rs really goino verify the individual mandates that people are actually caring insurance as mandated by the law? will they target conservatives on that one, too, stuart? this thing, obviously, needs to be repealed. i do not know that it even needs to be replaced. just repealed first. stuart: let's say you get a republican sweep this november. even if that happens and you pass a full repeal bill, it will not work. it is not going to happen. >> right. we still need to keep focus on it.

we need to look for 2016 and putting up a candidate to your point that can win the white house. i am not so sure we have done that. stuart: who is your candidate? >> i think it is still yet to be revealed. senator brand paul offers some great new vision for the party. i think right now he is the candidate that is bringing together the different coalitions. i am not saying he is the one, he is changing the game, though. stuart: i will not argue with you. >> be careful. [laughter] stuart: oh, i always am. as if cable companies do not have enough headaches. netflix tells a customer that the rise in network is crowded right now. netflix is blaming the carriers. that is exactly what they are doing. they are publicly laming the

carriers. here is steve back. all right, steve, welcome back to the program. >> night to see you, stuart. the at&t's and verizon's of this world, they have a real problem here. you have a problem. we will make it worse. >> let's give them credit where credit is due. today, on your program, we are releasing a study. that study surveys around 3000 real customers of the cable companies. the findings are troubling. you and i have talked about this. the findings in the cable space, that we are launching today, are the highest levels of customer frustration we have ever seen. stuart: dissatisfaction.

>> dissatisfaction. stuart: editorial. they take advantage of you. >> 72%. they are getting too big. limiting choices is not that for me as a consumer. stuart: 72% say cable companies become worse off. >> 69% think there is too little competition and that lack of competition is hitting them in the pocketbook. 63% saying if i could leave today, if i could switch, i would. stuart: there is nothing you can do about it here and. >> that is why they have been getting away with the bad levels of service. the high prices. stuart: i would question that. >> comparatively. the customer saying at the end of the day, you know, take the

pricing side and put it out as a normal frustration. comcast. how they deal with you as a customer. in their ability to get those problems resolved. spike. my problems do not get resolved. stuart: you hate the cable guy. >> well, you know, at the end of the day, these frustrations are real. at some point, you have to take care of your customer. at some point. [laughter] >> but, you know, one of the unique inns about the study is you can put a financial value on the risk. people saying that is it. i am done. i will only get internet access from you or whoever the best provider is. the other 5 million is to switching. movement between carriers,

obviously. that is not easy, no. we saw rates more than double in that category back then. stuart: interesting. thank you very much for joining us. we appreciate it. john stossel. he is next. he is taking an issue with hollywood. >> man is destroying the earth. apparently, i exploited this one who works at fox. apparently, video games cause murders. >> i think the deal games is a bigger problem than guns. ♪ stick with innovation.

journal of social psychology and personal science going up. nobody cares if you work extra hard. with, i am not sure i find that to be a credible source. liz: it comes from the university of chicago and san diego. two guys did the study. what is the reward for doing more work? more work? if you work hard and nobody cares about what is the point of working hard? you will not get the attention. you just come off as a martyr. stuart: i do not believe this study. we had three millennial's. youngsters that work for "varney & company." here they are. we put them on the set. they work hard and they try hard.

it is a terrific generation of people. liz: i am with you on that. i think hard work is appreciated here at. stuart: thank you. another stupid study, my personal opinion. very popular nonsense. the theme that we are about to discuss. taking on hollywood liberals. people think video games cause violence. watch this the map call of duty. a terrorist. manhunt shows you how to strangle people and break their necks. the best seller grand theft auto invites you to be the bad guy. stuart: so, john, who is with us now, john stossel, it is

nonsense to sit just that that kind of violent video games creates more violence. >> it is practical and logical. you see the horrible style that they do. the army uses it to help people learn how to kill. these mass shootings. videogame sales have gone sharply up. there are no more mass shootings , they're just used to be more coverage. stuart: jolyn kent was an intern. >> internship is basically gone now. the government says, and some young people say we were

exploited. i did not know when i volunteered to work for nothing as a student that i would not be paid or that i would have to work that long. why did they not quit? it is now illegal. it has been illegal for a long time. stuart: you work for free. you get your foot in the door. >> charlie rose just paid a quarter mill to settle a lawsuit. i built my careers on internships. the kids learn. i am pay my college dirty thousand dollars -- $30,000 i learned more during the internship. stuart: i had to work for free

national security advisor susan rice says bergdahl served with honor and distinction. no he did not and she knew it. later she said he had been near-death a few hours later she said he could walk. deegan what if he was released. watching the state department's murray are trying to explain this was in the embarrassing. what do you think vladimir putin thinks of this or china's leader or the terrorists or the iranian mullahss? joe biden says we never promised high-paying jobs. what is middle america to make of that? the endless gross failures are veterans dying on note waiting line while get the terrorists get lavish health care. the scandals, the scandals, they keep on coming, the incompetence is always being revealed and our reputation went through the floor. there is no sign the president will reverse this slide.

he never cleans house. miss rice was promoted after she deceived us over benghazi. now she is the national security adviser. there is a reaction on the part of the public. voters can see what is going on in the world and they can see our weak response and voters can feel what is happening to our economy, they can feel the effects of failed policies. it is indeed amateur hour. unfortunately it will be amateur hour for another 2-1/2 years.

stuart: google glass users watch out. the new device can detect if you're head set is trying to log onto a wi-fi connection and. you off line. i simply don't understand that. >> there is privacy concerns with people wearing google lastly define around the lead have glass on how do you know i am not taking pictures of you or recording with your doing or a time in a movie theater and on not taking the movie? so many privacy concerns and finally, there is a new program they are working on, a google glass detector -- stuart: you mean to say if someone is walking down the street with google glass, i have

to have a device that disarms google glass? >> this is what happens. if they are walking into a wi-fi hot spot and you are the owner of the wi-fi hot spot, somehow you get a notification that a glass devices cooking the to your wi-fi and you can shut the mauve and booed the mouth and have your privacy. stuart: that is it, so i retain my privacy, i think i understand. i think i got this one. google stock is up 10 bucks. leave it to a teenager to ask the tough question of nancy pelosi. here is the question. >> the burden is on the department and the community for years, that they have put out there. >> you voted for a bill to continue funding for the nsa? >> of course. i don't think we should not fund the national security agency.

stuart: pressing question. our next guest puts big-name politicians in a tight corner. jason, essentially that teenager put three four in the shot, asking questions about nancy pelosi to nancy pelosi about nsa and spying. they were very much youngsters not happy with spying by the nsa and i think they got nancy pelosi in a corner there. >> and she babbled on incoherently as she usually does and she even blamed president bush if you can believe that but this is the sad state of the media today, that you have kids barely over puberty asking tougher questions than the average reporter on capitol hill. it just goes to show you it is pathetic they would ask the question that is tucker. stuart: i agree 100%.

nancy pelosi doesn't usually sit down for an interview with any reporter him may be in any way, shape or form hostile. those teenagers are in the quarter as she was walking away from the event just like you did with a couple of politicians. >> they are teenagers, good for them for taking initiative. if nancy pelosi can't answer a question articulately coming from someone under the age of 18. it goes to show you not only the state of the media but a politician today and if nancy pelosi won't sit down with another reporter and the reporters afraid to ask a tough question shame on their reported because it is not always about accessibility but holding politicians accountable. that is why you came to washington d.c. in the first place. stuart: another issue. i am not baby boomer and i think you are a millennial. appears from the figures that we baby boomers are the ones who

have been taking all the new jobs created in this so-called recovery and you millennials don't have a very big piece of a pie, not many of you are getting new jobs. what do you say to that? >> we are graduating with record student debt, we don't have as much experience as the baby boomer is so millennials have a tougher time cracking in to the job market and put it another way. with all this pressure politicians are putting on business owners to raise the minimum wage if you are a business owner and you are stuck in seattle with paying $15 minimum wage for employees who are you going to choose? young person right out of college with their connell: experience or someone who has had 20 or 30 years experience and is looking to bring in some extra income? it is a no-brainer which you choose if you are a business owner. stuart: how about this one? one in three millennials lives

at home with mom and dad. what is your take? >> thinking what to say. i do not feel bad for millennials one bit when it comes to this. you get what you vote for. they voted overwhelmingly for barack obama twice and guess what, now you have to deal with consequences. those consequences are more abundant economy forcing you to live like you are a teenager even though you are an adult. you want to get out of mom and dad's house and what the better paying job and be able to find a wife or husband one day and start to raise a family in your own home, stopped supporting stated politicians who despise capitalism. it will work against your interests. stuart: we love you, baby. thanks very much. vice president joe biden says the white house left no one behind in the economy. we will discuss that in a moment.

reason? >> it is part of it but i don't think it was any surprise in the announcement but it is a historic day. five years ago would anybody at this table have fought we would have a negative positive rate? i know i didn't. liz: really bullish report raising forecasts for the s&p by next year expecting 2100 handle on the s&p which is trading at 1985. stuart: that will help. i know you from some place else. >> i am a former turtle for a lot of years. you saw me in your home town. stuart: here is what else we have got for you today. netflix points the finger at at&t and verizon and says if you guys, you cable people, you who is responsible for these slow streaming speeds. liz: netflix raising the ante in

but if you ask the average american they are pretty upset about this, we have low-paying jobs in this country and it is a particular dynamic that big muscle jobs are cheap and that is not here and for americans i am on my third career. if i didn't have a job i would be in a bus to idaho looking for a job in a more friendly environment so i am not surprised he put his foot in his mouth. he has done it before. stuart: i want to press home the accuracy. it is through to state that a large majority, more than half of all the jobs created since we went into this recovery have been low paying jobs. i think i am accurate on that one. dave: you are right. stuart: anything about that? >> and a lot of part-time jobs coming in to the u.s. economy and this has not been the immaculate recovery joe biden started touting in summer of 2010. it has not been that

i am splitting the difference right here. stuart: i have got to say 205, 225, that is not a great number. dave: you need 150 more than that. of the one you need more to the say this is a robust recovery. we got to have 350 in my opinion. >> we have been any economies like that before. stuart: i am old enough to remember one month in the early days of the reagan administration when 1 million new jobs were created in one month and that was with the work force tens of millions smaller than the one we have got now. dave: a long time before we see that. liz: guess which month a year that was. stuart: i can remember that. about 83 i think. >> pretty unbelievable. stuart: before you were born. liz: i don't know if we will never see that ever again. stuart: yes we will.
