11:00 am
he is the former coach stuart: lois lerner went after charles grassley. we are reeling from a lousy gdp report. president obama is talking climate change so let's talk go pro. you can buy it, buy into it. as of now, a camera that gives you a selfy on steroids were $3 billion. the stock opened his way up. the fighter band for 9 games four months, we have world cup favorites, i certainly did because one hour from now teen usa takes on germany. tens of millions will be glued
11:01 am
to tv. it will stop across the country and we get this from ann coulter. profit, she says, represents the moral decay of society. i am became fast. "varney and company" is about to begin. ♪ stuart: the top corporate story, top stock story today is go pro. it has started trading. we're showing you videos for months, that is how they get a lot of free advertising, they have their own youtube channel, $30 per share, way up from the offering price of 24. i believe that is a 20% gain. jo lin kent joins us from the nasdaq. this is a single product company. all they do is the camera. how much is the single product company worth at $30 a share.
11:02 am
>> when pricing was $3 billion so north of that, what is really interesting is this is a rowdy, ambitious company, we interviewed nick earlier, he still has 20% growth, very aggressive no. and when you think of it, they are single kind of company right now in terms of their products but they do have partnerships with microsoft, they have a youtube channel so they are converging to become more of a media company, it is very much about the camera itself. they had 45% of all video camera spending in the u.s. right now. revenue is up, is an interesting play. stuart: give me that again. they have 40% of the video camera market in america? did you say that? >> according to go pro say say they dominate 45% of the camcorder sector, all the money
11:03 am
that is spent, 45% of that is spent on go pro. stuart: when it is up 31. all right, charles, you always say by the stock of companies which products you know and like. and like. your son. does he have a go pro? charles: he does not have a go pro. the stock that i bid on was annabella. it has already made a big move into this ipo. they do not have to worry who has the most market share. stuart: wait a second -- that is your play. charles: yes. stuart: thank you. you have been recommending this for a long time.
11:04 am
joining us now, the ceo of contour. that is one of the pros top competitors. if they win, you win, don't you? >> that is right, stuart. stuart: is your camera better than eight go pro? >> i believe that it is. people are starting to like to see what they like on videos. they want something sleek and more attractive. stuart: that is the nature of the product. you can see your self doing things. it selfie. you can see yourself doing all kinds of escapades and what have
11:05 am
you. >> that is exactly right. we are seeing our customers like to buy more than one camera. we are seeing people like to brag and like to share all of the activities that they are doing. stuart: i am holding a go pro right now. this is a $300 go pro camera. tell me, how much is the equivalent contour camera? >> it is also $300. stuart: thank you very much for joining us. i want to show you, amberella.
11:06 am
okay. please exceed it has been as low as 13. i still like it a lot. stuart: we will not get 17,000 today. some of this is a holdover from yesterday's lousy gdp report. the nasdaq, well, that has been at a 14 year high. go pro, not the only ipo today. servicemaster. 1756 is the quote now. we have a disappointing, and i've been disappointing forecast. a 9% drop there. strong demand.
11:07 am
a winnebago. the price of gold, where is it? down $5. a bombshell. and e-mail invitation to an event meant for charles grassley mistakingly ended up in lois lerner's inbox at the irs. it suggested that the organizer would pay for charles grassley's wife to attend. learner forwarded that to a colleague and said -- let's make this clear. grassley never accepted the
11:08 am
offer for his wife to attend the event. lois lerner just suggested. do you think that this will make congress get up and move because one of their own has been targeted? >> not just because one of their own has been targeted. this is something that the american people understand. when all of these e-mails, you know, disappeared from lois lerner's computer, just magically, and nobody seems to care much, this is a little bit different. this one accidentally slipped through. can you imagine?
11:09 am
stuart: this one just popped up. i believe that further into that e-mail, lois lerner is quoted in the e-mail as saying i would not want to stand next to charles grassley. >> it was not just in a private e-mail. if that shows her personal animosity, it shows that this is politically motivated. i have worked in congress. we see these things as part of our oversight function of congress. the thing that struck me was how bold she was. she did not tiptoe around it. she was very straightforward that she wanted to go after senator grassley on this. that kind of boldness tells me that there is probably a lot more there, if we can find it.
11:10 am
stuart: the supreme court unanimously voted that president obama -- it was illegal. >> it would not be the first time. stuart: is it a slap down? is it just one narrow instance where he tried to add the disappointment to the labor relations board? >> i imagine we will get a lot of political backlash saying this is somehow politically motivated. they will be accused of being political. i do think that this president,
11:11 am
obviously, because of all of these types of things is inviting these types of scrutiny. stuart: he lost this one and i think you think the unions lost this one, too. 800,000 fewer people working now than in 2007. that is the obama economy. we will deal with it. the arab way biter suspended. he will probably miss liverpool. that is the premier team he plays for in new england. we have about 50 odd minutes. team usa plays germany. advancing into the second round. crowds gathering. excitement from coast to coast.
11:12 am
you are looking at these three. she has gone off on and out rages rant about soccer. "any growing interest in soccer can only be a sign of moral decay. athletic talent find so little expression that girls can play with boys". she knows how to get a headline. this is what it is all about today. [cheering]
11:13 am
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.

11:19 am
from a business standpoint, it looks like more cost, more regulation. stuart: okay. you are in business. you know all about it from the business side. president obama addresses the league. he says, you have to have climate change legislation. even though it would raise the price of electricity and gasoline. it will save the next generation. if you are a business guy, what do you make of a speech like that at a time like this? >> talking about providing incremental lead and you support that. talking about more aca rules coming out. everyone of these policies sound great. every piece is wonderful from a social stand point.

12:03 pm
ouch. he never accepted the offer, but lerner assumed his guilt and targeted him for an audit. dan hennigan is here for that one. what does one say when quite obviously lois lerner went right after a republican in the middle of a presidential election? >> she wanted to go after a republican, stuart. i would say what happened was lois lerner's own team yellow carded her. said let's go after charles grassley and the professionals said you want us to audit the former ranking member of the senate finance committee? the people who oversee our budget? they went timeout, we are not going there with this one. but it shows you her state of mind, doesn't it? she was so compulsively political she thought she could sick the internal revenue service on a member of the senate finance committee.
12:04 pm
if she was willing to do that, she was certainly willing to go after private citizens in the country with those politics she disagreed. stuart: this is one of the 24,000 e-mails which they are sifting through. lois lerner and top democrats did the only way we will get at those e-mails clearly and objectively is to get a special prosecutor. and we are not likely to get a prosecutor, and if we did come it would take years before everything is swept away. in other words i don't think we're ever going to see the light of day for these e-mails. >> i think the alternative is judiciary, the courts. it hasn't been that widely noticed, but in 2010 a pro-israeli group audited filed a lawsuit, after the lawsuit was filed, the irs required to preserve and a correspondent
12:05 pm
e-mails between them under law. any sort of ongoing litigation there is a. and preserve documents. everybody knows that. that case is now going to court. so the judge will have the opportunity to ask the irs what did he do with e-mails and the 2010. stuart: so they may expose these e-mails. >> interestingly another lawyer filed a lawsuit on another gro group, on behalf of another group, in that lawsuit the irs told them they had to preserve e-mails for three years. explicitly and publicly, something the irs as itself has not been doing. violating their own procedures. the archive in the united states this week, the irs broke the law by not preserving, telling the
12:06 pm

best. the presiden president can't gee additional federal funding he wants to answer and he will not do a tax reform bill with this congress. he can have a reduction in the corporate tax rate if he wanted it but his terms are so high, he can't get it. i think we will tread water for the rest of the year. stuart: when you add up iraq, irs and gdp, that is why we are intensely watching the world cup where there is no score thus far in america and germany. >> there is always an upside. thank you very much indeed. not a good sign for the economy, 800,000 fewer americans working now than before the financial crisis hit. joining us from chicago on this one, this economy is just not doing well, and that is why the yield on the ten-yea 10-year try has dropped a couple more
12:08 pm
points. >> you know where i stand on that, it will go to 220. you are right, we don't have any jobs, quick and easy answer is there or not any jobs. we can try to blame it on the participation rate, but at the end of the day, we don't have a lot of baby boomers retiring. we have more people just getting up in the heartland of america that don't have any hope about getting a new job or any type of job that will be meaningless because we have created some jobs, some credit there, but they are not the jobs we lost. why don't we pay people more, happen to be one of those people used to working at a job like mcdonald's. why do we want to turn them to a career to support a family of four when it was not meant to be that way to begin with. the ball is this, we are not doing well enough, there are not any jobs.

quite sure what to say there. looks a couple of strips of cardboard and people are going crazy about it. is there something going on i should know about? >> one line at the end of the keynote of a piece of cardboard and everybody is buzzing about this cardboard as a virtual reality type of headset, facebook buys blood feud for $2 billion, hit a piece of cardboard, put your iphone and it is the same. lerner it doesn't have the same experience so i haven't tried it, after the keynote, i went to pick up the smart watch because i was into that. a lot of people more into the cardboard, i plan to try it out today. but it is a fun thing, they have an app, it is to get people excited about developing for android. stuart: what about this setup
12:11 pm
streaming box, what do you make of that? >> the message of the keynote yesterday, they packed in a lot of information, but the message really was google want to continue being everywhere. they want to be on your wrist, in your car, in your pocket and continue to be in the living room, trying to be in the living room. by my count six times they are trying to do a different tv platform. this is now called android tv, similar to the competing amazon box that is out there. no word on pricing but the same kind of thing, stream content to your tv. what is interesting is there still keeping around $35 cap, the little dongle you can stick on the back of the tv and stream content, so it seems like google is a little confused, what they want to do in this space but they want to be in this space.
