past, look at netflix and hulu paying major licensing fees to get this content on to their flat form, they are not charging much either so it will be interesting to see how the companies react and what do they change. maria: there are implications beyond this. that will do with force, time for "varney and company," have a great show. stuart: thank you. good morning, everyone. america's economy is shrinking fast and you can't blame it all on the weather. the word recession is making a come back. $100 million gets you a meeting with treasury secretary. $50,000 is what the irs will pay for giving conservative donors lists to liberals. that is all, 50 grand. the setback for the tea party in mississippi and oklahoma. and monitoring robots inside your body, all from google, it

is everywhere. get this, 167,000 people placed a bet that they would be -- there would be a fighting incident. they won. "varney and company" is about to begin. the big story of the morning was the shock of the morning. the economy contracting at a 2.9% annual pace in the first week and month of the year. the fastest decline in five years, fastest pace in a non recession period, in 58 years. however, the stock market is up. dow jones industrial average 61 points higher. charles is here. he's back, the white house is blaming the weather and less spending on health care. i you buying that excuse? >> health care spending impacted

personal consumption which was down dramatically, one of the biggest areas where there was an adjustment. if you -- obamacare heard this number and the darker cloud over what happens in the future. rich: the success of obamacare hurt the economy. charles: all the enrollee's us seriously ill. this is expensive. stuart: if you have a contraction like that in the economy, you have a doubt that is up 61 points. charles: rear view mirror stuff hints for the future that didn't get a lot of press this morning on the durable-goods side. businesses spending more money on big time items like factories, also purchasing services, managers. the market is up 63. the highest in four years. if businesses spending big time money, they see something government data hasn't seen except remember yesterday we had

better than expected confidence and housing number we down 100 points. stuart: we're $16.78. look at the s&p, record highs recently. as of right now we are up six points at $19.56, that is not a record high beware of 6 points. gold staying above $1,300 an ounce barely budging today, $13.19 is your price. this is the yield on a ten year treasury, all the way down to 2.54%. when you get a lousy gdp numbers a hint is that the economy slows down, down go interest rates. i have a big name, you know it, general mills is down 3%, a big drop. disappointing sales. struggling with serial and yogurt sales down 3%. watch out apple and amazon, google is expected to unveil box

that its developers conference that starts in the next hour. google and another 6 points at $5.78. mcdonald's testing and ordering apps. some see this as an antidote to the $15 minimum wage. we will see. mcdonald's at $101.48. now really big winner, binds and noble, that is a surprise to me. tell me how much it is up and why. nicole: a new high is what we should start off with, it is of 7.5% and $22.13. this is on the news that by the end of the first quarter, as they will in fact be shredding their retail business and of course the ceo saying this would bring the best shareholder value, stock jumped on the news of this split which is why you are seeing this today. you know the nook has had trouble, revenue dropping for the nook and everything digital the goes with it. those have been dwindling so the separation ultimately should

bring more shareholder value. stuart: thanks, billionaire environmentalist tom spier's pledging $100 million to democrats who support climate change legislation. than the one hundred million dollars bottom access with none other than the treasury secretary, jack lew will meet with him to talk about the economic impact of climate change today. robert bryce is in manhattan and joins us now. am i being a little crass and crude? $100 million buys you a seat at the table with the treasury secretary? i am being acidic. how do you see it? >> i would be the last to call you a cynic. what is remarkable about this new reports that hank paulson and michael bloomberg have released, just yesterday called risky business and how the white house is framing this is it is more a message from the climate catastrophe but there are no policy answers or solutions, no

hints as to what exactly they want to do with regard to climate. the journal quoted the ceo or the chairman, gregory page who said he signed on to be part of the project, specifically because they didn't offer any solutions. is a remarkable turn of the events. stuart: this is not an exchange of views. is not a comfortable little sit-down, this is the environmentalist saying are you in line with us. we have $100 million here. we are only going to spend it if you are in line. this is these guys laying down policy to the treasury secretary of the united states of america. that is the way i see it. >> what is clear, when you look at it and you read what the white house calculus is, they clearly see climate change as a wedge issue in the midterm elections possibly to appeal to young democratic voters but what is remarkable to think about what has happened here, just

look at the release of the statistical data last year and compare that to the latest move by the epa who earlier this month released their nuclear power plant and their objective is to cut 700 million tons of co2 emissions from the u.s. by 2013. last year alone, global co2 emissions rose by 600 million tons in one year, global emissions rose by 90% of what the obama administration wants to cut over the next 16 years. stuart: your position has always been that the way we get around this problem, what the environmentalists are proposing will not work, is not worth it. that is your position. you are not a climate change denial. >> the u.s. is leading the world and reducing its co2 emissions. we could in the last ten years over 400 million tons, six times in absolute terms what has

happened in germany which has spent one hundred billion dollars subsidizing renewable energy. the u.s. is showing the rest of the world how to cut co2 emissions and replacing call with natural gas to the extent that it is possible but we don't have any sway over what is happening in asia and the middle east and africa. it is a global warming, not u.s. warming, not u.s. climate change but global climate change and yet we have no leverage with the rest of the world so i find this release of the latest report another example of how the climate catastrophe is trying to instill fear but they're not offering any real world solutions. stuart: we hear you, thanks for joining us. let's get to the irs story. we have the latest fox news polls on that issue. look at this. 76% say they believe irs e-mails were deliberately destroyed. this is not a split along party lines. look at that, 63% of democrats think the e-mails were destroyed

intentionally. joining us from washington is allison bobber. i am surprised that this is such a bipartisan disapproval. i am surprised this issue goes that far. >> i am not surprised. i actually really was not surprised when i looked at this information because any time you are in an investigation you have data go missing or damaged and will always look suspicious and everything about this situation and the questions surrounding the e-mail have defied logic. they said actually we lost six months of her e-mails at staffers surrounding her, that was suspicious. was suspicious the irs didn't retrieve e-mails from a six months backup server and is suspicious they delayed telling congress what happened so when you look at those and couple down those questionable things it is not surprising you see a lot of people -- this doesn't add up to me. stuart: i will tell you why i am surprised.

the issue, the loss of e-mails didn't receive that much coverage in the national media. it is a story that has been ignored yet you still got this bipartisan disapproval. you can't deny there has been no coverage. >> it is interesting because most democrats said this was a non-issue selling is interesting to see apparently their constituents are taking a different view of it so what this shows us is initially may be some people saw this as a political issue, they might be looking at it differently because there are a lot of things that like i said earlier don't seem to add up and for a lot of people they can't reconcile or justify how someone who is chief of that tax-exempt renovation, her e-mails go missing and there is no way to recovery and the irs had to wait months to tell them. anyone can say usually when you are waiting withholding information that is not a good sign so something looks fishy and i'm not surprised people recognize that. stuart: the news of the day they

agreed to pay $50,000 to the national organization for marriage, conservative groups they said the irs release their private donor list to a rival group, a bunch of liberals, they did this treaty is ago and only -- the irs only has to pay $50,000. that is a minuscule amount of money compared to what they have actually done here. >> and most people would say any amount of money is an indication of guilt and i don't think anyone would necessarily be wrong. don't think you could fault anyone for making that assumption because of what we spent the last few minutes talking about, the irs hasn't done anything of late to warned people trusting them. people hear about that settlement and even though it seems small land it is small in the broad scheme of things i can't people look at that and they think wait a minute, is this an admission of guilt? we can't blame them if they are going to take them away from this settlement. stuart: we will take an admission of guilt if we can get it like that.

in hillary saying that the irs scandal isn't the real scandal which the obama administration -- build saying the obamacare is a flawed law that needs to be faxed and hillary is the person

to fix it, we're going to see more and more of this as hillary goes into post midterm election mode and declares for the presidency which i think she will do. she will put more and more space between herself and obama. stuart: that was ed klein discussing his new book blood feud which details the growing divide between the obamas and the clintons. not all of you appreciated mr. klein's point of view. roland said, quote, where else could you find edward klein, a dried up right wing lackluster writer promoting a book with about hillary with no sources, on "varney and company". if you watch the interview we did ask about his anonymous sources and he said he has never been questioned about their validity before, never successfully challenged. listen to what former clinton adviser doug shoen said about the new book. are you buying the premise of the book that there is indeed a blood feud between the two?

>> yes, i'd buy it. stuart: he went on to say hillary will run for the presidency and guaranteed she would be the democrat nominee in 2016. let's go to the market, up 57 on the dow and i have a stock that is moving up, a new high you are looking at, very big names stock. they have an improved outlook that does the trick at 126. some primary results to report this morning. a win for the republican establishment in mississippi, senator corcoran defeating his tea party back challenger in a tight run off. mcdaniel not conceding. he is waiting in -- he is weighing whether to challenge the results. listen to the combative speech he gave to his supporters last night. >> they can take some consolation in the fact they did something tonight but once again compromising, once again

reaching across the aisle, once again abandoning the conservative movement. stuart: when he is referring to a lot of democrats who crossed the line and voted for corcoran in the republican primary. that is what they did. new york city what you are looking at is 22 term democrat congressman charlie rangel defeating his challenger who is refusing to concede. charlie rangel has held his seat in congress since 1971. charles is with me, he looks like he wants to say something. charles: what was interesting was charlie rangel and cochrane interjected the tea party as a nefarious organization looking to harm black people and obviously it worked in mississippi but the idea that worked in harlem where there is no tea party presence is amazing and tells you the hatchet job the media has done on the tea party. stuart: successful hatchet job. demonized them. after the break an update on obamacare. more than a quarter of the sign ofs have serious health conditions like diabetes and heart disease so who will pay

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. stuart: we are still up 55 points despite a negative gdp report but the economy shrank at a rate of 3% in the first quarter, dow is up 40. charles says he will make us some money if you by caterpillar. charles: last time they reported the news was phenomenal particularly for america. construction was up 36% in america, $2 billion, up everywhere except when america and they raised their guidance, really inexpensive stocks used in traditional evaluation metrics and people feel they are chasing it but in a market that

is starting to gyrate and you can't handle those highfliers this is one you want to sock away because i feel good about it. stuart: your downside risk if you buy at $108 where it is now it is limited. charles: worst-case scenario would be a little over a hundred but the upside is this goes along and you put it in a 401(k). stuart: yes you do. i have a number for you. 27% of new obamacare enrollees have a significant health problem like diabetes, heart disease, maybe cancer. joining me is veronica with the wall street journal. 27% have serious illnesses. >> the series illnesses like diabetes, depression, things that need a lot of medication and conceivably a lot of doctor visits. this is a problem because we have this bifurcation in the health-care market, the individual consumer market and

the sick, older people signing up for these health care plans. the younger healthier people are not signing up, sticking with individual plans that have been grandfathered in by obama or they are not going for insurance at all. stuart: does it mean all these people who are really genuine, serious illnesses is going to cost more money to treat them so premiums have to go up within those plans. >> there is no other way unless we have a lot more insurers in the market to spread that cost and increase competition but i don't know how likely is that is so prices have developed but the catch is some of these people are so sick we won't be able to tolerate a 15% increase of 30% to their insurance rates which we are hearing from these insurance companies. >> we increase the subsidies? >> i don't know what the fix is but we needed some call if this is going to continue how do you encourage younger people to sign

up for that? that is the issue. i don't know how you do that especially if you are going to raise prices. charles: another moral argument. people don't want to talk about a lot of these ailments are self-made. people bring it on themselves. people have eaten themselves or lane on the sofa so long it is honestly if we are honest about this, someone with diabetes and other things, people have done this to themselves and their neighbors foot the bill. there is a problem with that at some point. stuart: you will be demagogue, blaming the victim. you are harsh. that is what they will say to you. stuart: like if someone pulled the trigger on a gun and shot themselves i blame the victim and the shooter because in this particular case the person cleaning up is the one who tried to live a better life. if we are not honest about that the whole thing gets out of control. stuart: that is the problem with collectivism. it is a different story, interesting too. a chinese billionaire is feeding

them to 50 homeless people in new york city. the change, he's trying to change the image of rich chinese people, the image being they spend money mostly on luxuries, trying to change that image. he is a recycling magnets and he is giving them to 50 people fancy lunch and promised to give 300 bucks each. he announced the lunch with ads in the wall street journal and the new york times. i know you are trying to say something. charles: remember the late-night tv commercials, sally struthers crying we got to help the chinese, they are so for and hungry and malnutrition. stuart: that goes back a long way. charles: it was in my lifetime and they will all of the debt. what happened? is that red flag? then there never is one. >> this guy is known for his p.r. stunts, seems like an interesting pr stunt and also speaks to philanthropy in china and a lot of chinese people are

trying to figure out what that means. this is a growing market with philanthropy here and abroad and an interesting area for wealth management companies to be looking at. stuart: i want to see the videotape in new york. stuart: it is a boat house, sounds more like fringe. it is amazing. stuart: we will report on that. wait a minute, got to get to this. even if you don't like soccer, i bet you are talking about this, the first time luis juarez bit players on two occasions, he spends -- faces suspension of two games or two years. to you first on this. teeth marks! >> that seems like evidence. there is therapy for this. he is a grown man. why is he biting? this is the real issue. i don't think that is successful. stuart: cannibalism? >> it is not -- as an adult wire

you biting people? stuart: good question. charles: you could have bet on this in norway, 175-1. stuart: 167 people placed a bet that there would be a biting incident and the world cup and they are going to pay him off. stuart: they called on countries. anyone who places a gamble, having a flutter, that is -- i don't know where that comes from. charles: they knew this guy pretty well. charles: it sounds too hot. this is the third time. mike tyson got in the ring i would make a 2-1 he would bite someone. stuart: that is a bet i would take. thank you very much. up next another gee whiz story and this is a real good one. a computer chip implanted in a quadriplegic's brain that allows

if you have an apps that streamlines this process, and to pay more money too. the customers might be more happy and mcdonald's could be saving money. stuart: what was happening is what was predicted. that is if you raise the minimum wage or threaten to technology will step in and eliminate higher labor costs and that is what is happening. >> we have other fast-food giants, panera, t hn. technogy ing in.ell. an enight be ng i uarnkand mu. ndrones ye >> the federal aviation industries in.

furniture so they're trying to be a little more like qvc, so the stock is up 10% and it pulled back a little bit. nice move. stuart: thanks very much. check this out. a computer chip implanted in the quadriplegic's brain that allows him to control his paralyzed hand. joining us is a doctor who was involved in the procedure. we are fascinated by this kind of thing. i want to make sure i have got it right. a computer chip in the brain transfers impulses from the brain to this gentleman's farm so he can actually function and move the arm. have i got it right? >> exactly right. stuart: where else will you go with this? how well does it work? take us through it. >> this is the first time we have done this in a cumin. previously sees chips were used to power robotic devices but this is the first time we have

shown that this is more than an application of technology and as we potentially continue to develop this technology, miniature rise it, refine the motions of his more functional, we have to put in a feedback system so that the individual has information about where that link is going. it feels to him like when your arm is asleep and you try to move it and don't have much control. not much can be done but the implications for people with spinal cord injury, strokes is enormous. stuart: how do you connect the chip which is a physical thing? how do you connect the chip to the right part of the brain so the signal goes to the right place? >> that is worrisome because the brain is very dynamic and changes its response to what you ask it to do so we were worried the part of the brain that previously controlled that hand was repurchased. therefore we had to put in a special type of them are i stand before the surgery.

we show the different motions we wanted him to produce and heard him think about producing the same motions and the part of the brain that let up during that segments of the m r i scan is where we place the ship and we also stimulated the part of the brain to see if we were in the general correct location. stuart: this is fascinating. what everybody is asking is how far away are we from a genuine cure for paralysis? can -- ten years, 20 years? >> we are bypassing damaged cord where nothing is getting through. years. i am reluctant to say ten years because i am astonished how quickly this technology is evolving. stuart: we are fascinated to hear it. congratulations, it is a wonderful thing you have done, thanks for sharing it with us. president obama continues to use his executive power to sidestep congress, pushing through his

stuart: john boehner is considering filing a lawsuit against president obama for his use of executive power. joining me now is an attorney, i want to know on what grounds john boehner would suit? >> john boehner and many members of the house feel the president has crossed the constitutional line and their position is simply that it violates the constitutional framework of the federal government. the executive department is opposed execute the laws, not organically change them. the federal statutes are not treated as a menu of options but the law of the land so the argument goes the president is not following the constitutional mandate, unchanging or organically changing the laws. stuart: that seems pretty clean cut. obviously that is kind of clean cut. it will take years.

new file the lawsuit and it is appealed to, and you are talking a decade, aren't you? >> not necessarily. you are right the federal litigation process certainly does take some time but this kind of lawsuit focuses on of a type of relief called an injunction and courts to rule on requests for injunction in a relatively quick manner. it will take some time, it wouldn't take that much time but there would probably be a motion to dismiss followed by the government. on mainers gun substance that has a little bit of a roadblock on the procedure. substantively i think the examples i there in terms of employment, delays and exceptions under the affordable care act. is there a law that says individual members of congress cannot sue the president would have to be a larger institutional action or something filed by a company called standing. stuart: is that likely to happen? >> depending upon what john boehner is looking at it is a distinct possibility. we are really looking at a very
