morning, everyone. it is a whole new world. uber now valued about the same as twitter. disrupting transportation. half the country is paying for stream. clearly disrupting. at&t makes three nfl games for smart phones for no extra charge. that is a whole new world. how about dow 17,000. that is new, two. some things never change. president obama will by the student vote with your money. "varney & company" about to begin. ♪

stuart: it is monday morning and you are going to like this. fifty-two points away from 17,000. we have never been there before. it has crossed. 1950. that is the s&p 500. then we have apple. as of today, the stock splits. it has moved up. nine to 62. microsoft. now priced at $400. the company announced a new game at the conference this morning. however, sony's ps2 or continues to outsell the xbox. microsoft down, sony up. a little. then we have tyson. it has one the battle for hillshire bands. look at hillshire.

eight billion-dollar takeover bid. men have almost 700,000 fewer jobs than we did in december of 2007 when the recession began. art laffer joins us now. i thought it was supposed to be a war on women. >> when you say some things never change -- [laughter] >> that is right. seven men hold 700,000 fewer jobs. why is that? what is going on. >> there is no recovery going on. the only thing that is doing that is population growth. what you have seen over a very long track of time is women's

share of the labor force has been increasing. their growth rate is a little higher than men's. i think that that is all you are really observing. >> i think we are now back in terms of overall jobs. we do not have the same high-paying jobs. >> we also have a much larger population than we did then. employment is a share of the population, stuart. it is still at that same exact level. it is just the population growth generating those new jobs. not on the level of the economy. we are in just as bad shape as we were in 2007, 2008, 2009. stuart: the dow jones industrial average is close to 17,000 this morning. new record highs all last week.

why is that happening when you have an economy that is not moving? >> stock market do not reflect what has been. they reflect what will be. the closer we get to the reality and the less they are of major disruptions of that reality, the higher that market will go. i think they are letting the republicans take over the senate this year. then you will see a lot of political pressure put on the white house. you will see a lot of good policies. we got all of those. before reagan came in and sealed the deal. i think we are in that same type of circumstance. i am very optimistic about the outlook. stuart: on that note, hold still

for a second. morgan gives. more gifts from the white house. the president will issue an executive order today that will help ease student loan debts. 5 million expected to sign up for this. i have to conclude that this will help the economy. the level of student debt hurts the economy. with that couple little bit and don't you give the economy a lift? >> no, you don't. the real problem with college student loan debt is the number of jobs these people are able to get after getting out of college. they do not have the income they need to be able to justify the loan they took out going to school. a lot of people going to college never do work.

the people who do work, that number has been dropping. the underlining ability to finance those loans has been disappearing because of president obama's policy. if you want to really help the student is have a low rate flat tax. create economic growth so that these people have the incomes to income to be able to pay off their debt. stuart: art laffer, do not hold your breath. just do not do that. >> okay. thank you very much, stuart. the car service taxi app, uber. a valuation now owns more than $18 billion. making it one of the most valuable private companies in the world. we have been debating this one. how do you define cooper as a

company? a technology company? a transportation company? what is it? >> good question. basically, it is a technology company. a way for writers to connect with drivers. you have to cut off the middleman with this technology that they developed. a lot of our viewers have not used uber. probably not even heard of it, some of them. uber is valued at 18.2 billion. almost the same as twitter. you go ahead. tell us how you use it. >> everyone has a smart phone these days. even my mom has an iphone.

she can open up the app and looked down at her phone and select what kind of taxes or black cars are within her vicinity and she could quickly type in her address. she can click request and a taxi will come right to her and pick her up. >> that is it. there is an expansion here. it is called uber x. at a lower rate than a taxi and also used the use the same app system to pick up riders. it is a lot cheaper. that is one thing that they are fighting in different cities. stuart: that is fascinating. stay with us please. a great introduction to uber. i have another obstacle. this time for lift. very similar to uber.

and pounding impounding lift cars because the drivers are operating at a four higher surface without a for higher license. judge napolitano is here. >> what a coincidence. stuart: we just had an explanation of how they work. along come the authorities. >> there are two issues here. one is entrapment. the other is cartel. people that pay a fee to the government to the city of miami. who eventually pays the fee? the people who are paying the

car service. it is your nearly perfect supply and demand. what are the police doing? two minutes later, another cop in uniform comes by and arrest the driver. a tow truck, and seizes the car and delivers it to a pound owned by the city of miami. they have not paid anything to the city. without getting permission from the city to use its streets. stuart: that it outrageous. stuart: it is basically the government getting involved in

this competition in miami. between light and uber. i will call them xyz. they are regulated. why should the government be using force? stuart: this is a sharing economy. you want to have a haircut? you have to have a license to provide that service. >> i do not think bill bratton is narrowminded enough to send cops into this. it is an easy mark. and easy way for them to get credit for the arrest. i am sorry to tell you. technically, it is not

entrapment. when they provide everything else, it is not entrapment. stuart: the uber driver has a higher license. >> they can do it because the public has allowed government. that is wrong. that is outrageous. >> one of the things that comes along to disrupt this. cooper is literally dealing with supply and demand in a classic way. without the heavy hand of

government. everything will cost less. stuart: a nice way to start the week. >> yes. a wonderful way to start the week. >> transferring from the students dow borrowed the money. stuart: thank you very much, indeed. back to the markets. amazon moving into paypal's turf. >> they are giving out a way for the customer to pay your bills. pay your monthly phone bill. pay for additional music subscriptions. this is one more way that they will be doing this to the service they launched again today. there will be a fee on the transaction. they are trying to figure out a way that you can get in there and pay the bills.

we will be waiting to hear more. >> excellent. stuart: uber, air bmp. how much of your contact information is safe? we will discuss it in a moment. ♪

if you will be renting a house from someone for a night or two, you want to know something about each other. there is no question about that. these apps can easily be diverted by people. your information is there and very vulnerable. stuart: it is the same old story, isn't it. you plug deeper and deeper into this world where you are sharing your personal information. there is nothing really that you can do about it. if you want to be sharing like this, you pay the price. >> there are some things that you can do about it. i invested in a crowd funding. a very up and coming company. we do not have an ad that runs on smart phones. however, security is not number

one for many companies. we live in an age of no privacy. i think we are losing more and more as we switch to this new economy. >> i just do not see any way around it. google claims that they say it makes your gmail e-mail virtually unstoppable. that is quite a claim. what do you make of that claim? >> there is nothing that is unethical. however, people have hacked into this many times. it is certainly a lot better and the most secure system out there, but it is not on hackel both.

stuart: how about this move to putting ships on credit cards to raise the security level. what do you make of that? >> it has been done in europe and everyone else except for america for years. it has a chip on it. it is certainly much more secure than the bazaar tech week we use here in america. we are like 16 years behind the rest of the world. the nsa is about 15 years ahead in that they know more about american citizens. stuart: how about you? you are an internet security guy. that is what you do. do you feel that you are more private? >> i am as private as i can be.

the people that schedule it, the people at the studio, it is impossible to maintain complete privacy in this day and age. i use smart phones infrequently. i limit use of credit cards. it is difficult. the average person is monitored by hundreds of companies and they do not know it. they want this for purposes. however, if they can do it, they can do it as well. >> i am just ready for the big hit. the bad guys come on strong. >> it will be this year, i promise you. >> this year? >> they have been leading up to

it. stuart: leading up to what? >> they have been testing all of their malware. target, for example. neiman marcus. these are test runs. they run beta software. they test it. they fix it. trust me, it is coming this year. stuart: you come back soon, john. john mcafee, everyone. we have lebron james delivering a solid performance in game two. find out what power it is saying about all of this. getting a last laugh over gatorade, by the way. we will deal with that next. ♪ peace of mind is important when you're running a business.

stuart: hello, everybody.

the revolution has arrived. it is not politics. it is the sharing economy. it is what anything, anywhere, anytime on your personal screen. that is a whole new world. ♪ stuart: it is a whole new world. here are the headlines. huber. almost as valuable as twitter. half of the company pays to strain. the nfl goes almost everywhere that you do. we have pat noonan with us. they are toast. some are closing, however.

we will bring you the original frozen yogurt guy. he is expanding. the world cup starts on thursday. alright. the big board. the dow 17,000. thirty-five and change away from 17 k. could get it today. the s&p 500 coming up on another record. up again at 1954. the 10 year yield creeping up just a little bit. up to 61 as of now. karl icahn likes family dollar. up she goes. merck is buying identix. they are a huge winner today. apple's share price.

it will look a little different to you this morning. why is that, nicole? >> at $100. equivalent to $700. today, you have a multi- year high occurring on this. you see it up 1%. 9309 at this moment. there are some findings that they do not necessarily mean greatness. it does make it a little bit more eligible for the dow jones industrial average. we will be waiting on things like the iphone six. more affordable for the people that want to get in there. stuart: thank you very much. men are lagging. 700,000 fewer jobs now than they did in december of 2007 when the

recession began. what is this war on women? >> it is a war on jobs. i have been talking about this all weekend. i say that we cannot go back to 2008. we have grown as an economy. the participation rate is at its lowest since 1978 which was under mister carter. we have a situation with the lowest level of people that can't work since 1978. i think that this is indicative. it is lower-level jobs. stuart: you have to give me your answer to the question that everyone asks me.

why is it such a rough economy and the dow industrial average is almost at 17,000. explain, please. i understand that that confuses a lot of people. as long as we have the central banks involved with our hands in our back pocket, that market will levitate higher. all-time highs on all-time record low volume. until they truly get their heads out of it and re- normalize again, that is the world we will be living in. stuart: we understand that one. going through congress. seeking the tax. with us now is pat boone. the spokesman for the 60 plus organization. big supporters of the bill to kill the death tax.

may i call you pat? >> my dad is not here. please call me pat. [laughter] stuart: a lot of people that watch this program, myself included, are big supporters of getting rid of state taxes. i could make the argument that you are going to make. got it. it will not happen with this administration. no. no. no. you may know my partner at 60 plus, we are a locomotive. over 7 million seniors. i came out of the closet a few years ago and admitted i am a senior. jim martin made me the spokesman for 60 plus. over 60% vote for romney 2012. they know that this policy is ruining us. now we have 218 congressmen

cosponsors of brady's bill to repeal the death tax, to kill it forever, to abolish it. that is enough. the cosponsors, it will pass in the house. and then it goes to the senate. this election year, where so many of the congressmen have not ever voted, it has been nine years since we have voted on the death tax. now this going against democrats and against liberal economic policies, this is the year where we cannot stop the death tax out. the death tax is criminal. it is corrupt. stuart: let's suppose that the death tax is gone.

they make a great deal of money trying to get people around the death tax. your lawyers will be really upset. so, too, are the life insurers. you get the benefit on your passing away. it is not part of the estate. you have powerful groups opposing to repeal the death tax. >> that is the way it always is with every tax. they put the pressure on congress. sometimes the congressmen themselves benefit. i just realized something that you and jim martin had said to me. we are the third largest country in the world. big countries like china, russia, india, mexico, sweden, they do not impose the death

tax. they are wealthy people. they do not have a middle class. it is the middle class that pays this tax. they are made with the judgment to die. stuart: just for one second, you will pass it in the house. guaranteed it will pass in the house. then it goes to the senate. i guarantee that senator reed will not even pick it up. >> even verbally he said we have to do something about this that. then he never does because they had their powerful lobbying interests. their constituents, including seniors, 70% of americans.

, are opposed to the death tax. he is representing special interests to pay for his campaign. stuart: and honor and pleasure to have you on the show. you look terrific. >> god bless you, stu. we have to have more people like you. stuart: just a poor immigrant fresh off the boat. they are in my ear. you just turned 80. is that correct. >> yes. they were very kind to me. really. we had a big blowout. what is the best part about turning 80 and i said being alive.

themselves. stuart: twitter does not get any of the money. nothing close to twitter. >> it is not flying to twitter through the hash tag. they are paying to have their hash tags trending on twitter. stuart: another story. celebrities and social media stars. they are making big money by endorsing products on twitter. again, twitter does not get that money. how does this work? >> twitter may not be getting money from those entertainers. people come to twitter because they have access to hollywood stars. two musicians that they did not have access to on a facebook

page. these celebrities are tweeting them back directly. that is good. stuart: thank you very much, indeed. last hour you explained hoover. now you have explained twitter. the value of goober is now almost the same as twitter. 18 billion for uber. who would have thought. we are almost out of time, but you are a great explainer. softserve yogurt. perhaps the business is a little over extended. the ceo of 16 handles. he will argue otherwise. he is expanding.
