you, dow jones industrial average up 52 points, the nasdaq very strong, 32 points and the russell also higher by 7 points, retail under pressure on weaker than expected retail numbers and ec staking its guidance down. time for "varney and company". stuart: this is not your father's economy. this is not your father's gop. there is a political shift happening now in america and the shifting nature of the economy too and we are following it. today we bring you the case of car sharing apps, the likes of uber demonstrate political and economic shift. look what the republicans are doing. in an effort to get the youth vote the gop is openly and vigorously supporting uber in its battle with unions and regulators. they have seen the rise of the sharing economy and jumped on board. goodbye, it is apps and uber

now, the ridesharing companies look like a breath of fresh young air. competing aggressively stacking the enormous value, expanding constantly and have indulged in juvenile dirty tricks campaign. is a new look to the economy, republicans are embracing and "varney and company" is about to begin. let's go to rich edson who joins us from d.c.. i want you to tell me more about what the republican is doing to throw its support behind uber. >> they are staking a claim offering a petition in support of businesses like that, increasing lobbying presence in the sea, republicans champion curbing regulations and stifle innovative businesses like uber and food trucks and local governments and democrats are

beholden to big labor and expensive regulatory regimes. this is mostly a local issue for now and some democrats of a jump on the issue. those in colorado supported uber with a new law but this is gop welcome invasion. robert they have to talk about all these destructive technologies they are creating jobs. if they want to capture the youth vote what is the youth

vote's problem? nobody has jobs coming out of college so they ought to be talking not just about uber but the image, the gop will never be as cool as the democratic party. come on. that is why they call them conservatives. stuart: i disagree. rand paul can be cool. he is all for getting the government off my back, individual liberty and freedom. >> scary foreign policy. stuart: i got that but you can the gop gets behind a new technology, new sharing. >> you don't need to be cool to win the u.s. vote. you can talk to college graduate and say you want the job, we will support a lot of destructive technologies, fracking, sharing, healthcare, support all of it because we want you to work when we graduate. stuart: three minutes into this program and you discuss the central premise of the show. >> why do you have me back on? stuart: because you are popular with the audience.

great to have you. look at this. this is japan. their economy shrinking at an annual 6.8% rate. that is some shrinkage. it is the results of a tax increase. japanese consumers stopped buying when the tax increase hit. you have any economy with massive debt, printing money like crazy and raising taxes and heading again into recession territory. maybe there's a lesson there. check the big board, we are going up today, we open slightly higher, we are 66 points higher. i have a question. what are those russian trucks carrying? vladimir putin says he doesn't want the red cross to distribute and open those trucks and distribute the supplies, humanitarian supplies but lennar students as they are carrying that ukraine says you cross the border is invasion. geopolitics are factor on wall street. rockets not having much effect because the dow is up 70 points at 16631.

look at the s&p 500. that is up a bit more, 10 point gain, then we have macy's which has cut its sales forecast for stores that were open at least a year. dungee goes nearly 5% lower. we had a weak retail sales report this morning as well. gold up a bit more but still in that narrow range above $1,300 an ounce. keep a close eye on the 10 year treasury, we always do. $2.41 is the yield. i find that a shock that it is so low. you know the game candy crush? maybe you do. the company that runs it is down and down big today. adam shapiro at the new-york stock exchange. before you lunch, is this the end of those hand-held games? have they peaked? >> anyone who rides the new york city subways will tell you there will never be an end to those games. and settle avoiding people,

they're doing those games but candy crush is losing its luster and when king digital ipo selling the first 16% they are down 30% and hit a new low, $13.65. the problem is candy crush. is a one hit wonder? what they have done is a report their earnings, shifting to other games but not fast enough for investors, 40% of total revenue,

city subway and agrees with me 85, 86. you are back on the show. let's get serious. look at this. remember monday's deadline when the irs had to explain to judge what happened to los lerner's lost e-mails. the techies at the irs said they did everything possible to recover the files from a broken hard drive but the records were fruitless. some of those e-mails will never be found, as they say. the president of true the vote. that is one of the groups targeted by the irs. welcome to the program. this is the most extraordinary

cover-up i have ever seen. i am making a big time judgment with that and also going to say i don't think we will never get to the bottom of it. >> i don't disagree. i have hope that the inspector general's report will shed some new light but it is important to remember if there is more to this story and the e-mails. lois lerner was not the only one involved in this. just her e-mails alone tell only part of the story. we need to expand it and get serious about it. stuart: what we are trying to get, what you are trying to get at is was there a connection between the officials at the irs going after groups like yours and the white house and/or the reelection committee for president obama? you want to establish that relationship. so far you can't do it. i you telling me you can do it? is there any way you can do it?

>> we have documents that suggest there were linkages that have not been fully explored case in point. i have a memo written by robert ballard, general counsel to president obama written in 2012, a 6 page memo that began and ended with the threat representing to the campaign, that was going on at the time we were being scrutinized. stuart: president's council. >> has been turned over to congress. i respect you have to peel back layers slowly but this is more than academic. this has deeply affected me personally, my organization, thousands of others, millions across this country. stuart: you are going to tell me how this affected you personally. >> prior to filing for non-profit status i had never been scrutinized in any way by any government agency.

after filing that application, the floodgates opened and we had a succession of fbi inquiries, irs inquiries, bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms suddenly taking a very detailed interest in my personal affairs and there is no other way to explain how for my entire adult life there was no interest and nothing change the set filing the non-profit application and it is a new ball game. stuart: is the ball now and judicial watch's court, they are a legal organization going after information, are you relying on them now to get to the bottom of this? >> we sued the irs a year ago, and a similar ruling to what judicial watch got yesterday that there was not going to be an opportunity to being an independent forensic scientists to look at what is going on with the e-mails.

i hold fast to the idea that our lawsuit will be able to get to the bottom of this expanded discovery that is crucial and must go beyond lois lerner. it is fascinating that we filed that lawsuits over a year ago, all the documents should have been frozen in time from that point forward and never once did anyone come forward and say the things that were happening during this time, they are not available. wasn't until we began to show across agency collusion between congressmen and the irs and suddenly the iron curtain slammed shut and not just lois lerner's server crashed but many. stuart: realistically if you do get -- if he gets a the bottom of it, if you get to the truce, realistically, when might that happen? not the next couple months before the election. >> we always have a prayer but i

will say is this. whatever it takes however long it takes, sometimes we have too short attention spans. this is something we have got to keep our eye on because with this administration has done in mechanizing the government against private citizens in respect of of your political preference it should send a chill across the country. stuart: you fired up our viewers, thanks very much indeed, thank you for being here. guarantee you are going to be hearing this is a result of climate change. wild weather tearing through much of the country. it is climate change. isn't it obvious? look at detours, four to six inches of rain drenched the city, roads flooded, rescue workers pulled people from stranded cars, detroit's mayor says it is the heaviest rain in 86 years. please look at this from the weekend. nebraska, wall of water, 9 feet high, rushes into a hospital cafeteria. no injuries. the water did not reach any

expense of iphone. two new ipad models coming announced in october. they will reportedly have anti reflective screens that will help you see what is going on in direct sunlight. last one, workforce diversity at apple, a 50% white, 15% asian, 70% male. the ceo tim cook says not satisfied. he will focus on, quote, advancing diversity moving ahead, mary kissel is -- >> it recalls chief justice john roberts at statement if you want to stop discriminating by race stop discriminating by race. who cares what the makeup is of that company? what should be important to apple shareholders is they're hiring the right people for the job. regardless of that, i am so sick of hearing this diversity claptrap. it is just garbage. tired of people to do the job.

stuart: investors were worried about profit margin. look at it now. that is the name of the company. the analysts say the sell-off was overdone. what a difference a day makes, back up 8%. let's get back to the uber versus lift story. a heated war of words to be kashering apps. and thousands of fake rides to mess hours up. uber responded with this statement, quote, claims against uber are baseless, simply untrue. the drivers and employees including one of its founders have canceled 12,900 troops on uber and uber took a step

further and accused lift investors' of begging uber to buy it and they said -- i could keep going on and on, one of the largest shareholders recently warned lift would go nuclear if we do not acquire them. lift denies their investment but the fact is uber is much bigger valued at $18 billion. lift is valued at $700 million. denise wrote the book what great brands do. aptly titled with this particular story. which of these brands is great? >> both of them have market opportunity but i put my money behind uber. it is bigger and more established for a longer period of time and the leaders of visionary leader and has the shops to make that brand a great one. stuart: i think this fight, falls booking and all the rest, is juvenile and it is juvenile

but -- >> the exact word i would use. stuart: does it hurt the brand? i don't think it does. it stimulates conversation about what is going on between the two and what is going on with the nature of the sharing economy. >> i do think ultimately it hurts the companies in the sense that its crews, barber racially and disturbs them from doing their business it really puts a bad taste in people's now, what you would expect politicians to do to each other, not technology apps companies. they need to get away from that and go back to creating a services and opportunities for customers they will pay for that they value. stuart: mary kissel is in quite a new and she is here. >> i respectfully disagree. isn't it fantastic that we are seeing two innovative companies

duking it out creating competition, getting their names out here? is there an upside to this fight? >> competition is a great thing and the company's need each other and also need each other to work together to fight all the regulators and resistance we are getting from established taxi companies and things like that but at some point it gets to be distracting and customers want to know what is in it for me and name calling and disrupting the service are things that detract from what is good for the customer. stuart: i want your comment on the big picture. we make a lot on this program about the sharing economy. is it as big a deal as i am making because it seems to me this is a new element in our society, this very important. am i going overboard? >> i don't think so. i don't know the exact numbers but from a cultural movement you are seeing people are very

interested in not only leveraging the power of the community but taking on the big guys and established players that don't provide the value they are looking for in doing it their own way so we will see more of these sharing services in lots of areas of our lives. stuart: when a car service apps goes from zero to $18 billion in value in a matter of months you have got a story and it tells you something. thanks again, you will come again soon i hope. >> i hope so too. stuart: amazon getting into mobile payments, plug a credit card reader into a smart phone and it can pay for anything, baby sitter, landscaper, garage sale. the technology has been around a long time but amazon is getting into it. it is a big deal.

phone into a mobile cash register and jo lin kent will make me understand it. >> hopefully it is a simple concept. you have seen it before. it is a little device you plug into your smart phone or your tablet and if i were selling babysitting services to you or if i reselling my blackberry to you, you would give me your card, credit or debit, slide it and i would receive the payment directly. it is very simple, most interesting about amazon is undercutting prices in a major way, how price per swipe, percentage feet. stuart: price per swipe amazon's price paris white is lower and got a full screen how much it charges paris white. >> right now it is going to be on sale for those who sign up before october 31st. if you look it square, 2.75% and show you pay pal here 2.7% and amazon coming in at a permanent rate of 2.5%, doing what they

have done with kindle, amazon fire and the fire phone. stuart: hold on a second. i am a parent and you are the babysitter. i have my smart phone and the amazon device plugs into it. try to think how this works. it is the other way around. the other way around. okay. >> i will let you work for went to let it into my device and you pay me so you give me your card. stuart: give me my credit card and use like a new device, the money goes to your amazon account. >> through the amazon apps i would receive the money in the number of ways. stuart: it goes into an amazon account and huge dip into the amazon account. >> you are hitting on something important. amazon is essentially collecting tens of small business data on how people are spending and receiving money and very lies the wisdom of what this does.

amazon's ecosystem is massive. they rolled out amazon payments and they know how you might pay your utility bill and if you are buying on amazon and what you are watching on amazon tribes and maybe you are calling on your fire phone so there's a huge ecosystem at amazon is getting into more micro banking. you are worried about the nsa. >> amazon knows more about you than the u.s. government. stuart: i like the idea of being able to use a credit card anywhere anytime, very simply, slight and away you go. >> this is interesting because square, the company that helped found twitter are released troubling right now. this is a company that originally had this very much -- they pioneered it several years ago. i remember getting one in san francisco and no one knew what they were but now is becoming standard. paypal has one, amazon coming in saying we see this works now, now we are really going in there.

doesn't an advisor pick up a gun and shoot people? >> well, we tend to hamstring our personnel. they put on another 130. providing some humanitarian assistance. really, we are still doing that? the reality of it is different. we have done about 20 airstrikes. you cannot do those airstrikes without some support on the ground. you know, these are not combat troops. they are trying to have it both ways. we cannot win this in a political fashion.

that is the way they are approaching it. stuart: that is interesting. if you want to win, you win it militarily. the left will not let the president. it does not want to see the president when militarily. >> to be fair, it is not just the left. >> hoping it will go away. it is not handling things in a real world fashion. right now, every single day, isis, the islamic state becomes more and more of a military force.

yo as a platform where you can get yos from anything, not just your friends. for example resaw something where developers in israel connect the yo apps and people in israel getting yo, yo is a platform with an open a pee ay and anyone can connect and create a service that sends yo to people. and your communication protocol, and not just the apps itself. stuart: that is a good explanation. i am beginning to understand. you coming out with a new version, and upgrade so to speak. explain the upgrade. >> a list of things we call the yo index, things you can get yos

from, whether from fedex when your package arrives or instagram when your girlfriend posts a photo, whether from news websites that send you yo when there's a breaking story. that is one of the new things in the apps itself. stuart: one last question because i am almost out of time. if i gave you $100 million, you personally, $100 million, would you sell me the right to the apps? $100 million? >> i can answer the question if you show me the money. stuart: that is the best response we had to that question. that is good. thank you, good luck with yo. thank you very much. up next, mike huckabee. i will put it right at him, the gop needs to change if it wants to win. i will challenge him on that and he is with me a moment from now.

later on neil cavuto, congressman michael grim, and first nationally televised interview since his indictment. that is tonight on fox business at 8:00 p.m. eastern.

stuart: if republicans want to take the senate and eventually the white house is a need to change so we are told. we have a story of the republican party throwing its support behind uber, the car service apps, they want the millennial young vote. governor mike huckabee joins us now. is this the kind of change you have in mind for the republican party? >> yo, steward. if yo is worth $100 million been supporting uber must be worth 1 million votes. i don't think this is a big platform, but it is symptomatic of something the party needs to embrace which is free market capitalism, the idea that government doesn't need to regulate people out of business before they even have a chance to be a business. i think about the wright

brothers. if they tried to build an airplane today there is no way in the world they would ever get the thing off the ground and would have nothing to do with physics. it would have to do with uncle sam and all the regulatory agencies making it impossible for them to try. stuart: are you confident the republican party is making that kind of policy move towards free-market capitalism, less government? are you confident that is what the republicans are doing? are they gung-ho for this? >> they have not embraced the fact that they have a broader spectrum of issues, they speak well to what the republican leaders say and job creators. republicans have to stop speaking to jobholders, people who are sweating through their clothes every day, people the come home bone tired, i am not sure republicans understood that. whoever can capture the working class, the people who have been

most hurt by the direction, and absurd economic policies, and bring hope to them and give jobs back to them, that is not only who will win but who deserves to win. stuart: i you allowed to say whether you are eyeing a run for the presidency? you have a nice -- i am asking the question. >> the honest answer is i haven't ruled it out but i am not a candidate, i am not making any intentions of even becoming a candidate or making that decision until after the 2014 elections and some time into next year. plenty of time to make that fought so lot of people thing to make it today, i don't happen to believe that and sort of an insight a lot of people don't. i have run before. of all the people who know how to do it, most of never run for office. stuart: i want to ask a personal

question. you have been through the presidency. >> thanks for reminding me how that turned out. stuart: this is all going wrong. i can't imagine putting myself through that kind of experience. it must be grueling in the extreme. would you really voluntarily go into at all over again? >> when you put it that way, maybe i should make the decision and say no but i will tell you why people run for office, when you feel deep down that your country is going in the wrong direction and deep down believe you could do something to turn it around. frankly once you started jumping into the water and swimming there comes a point at which it is easier just to keep swimming to the other side than to turn back and most people when they get into the first political campaign they realize it is like

sticking your face into the blades of a fast-moving fan. it is brutal, it is tough but on the other hand we have to ask ourselves is our country with and i will be honest, when people say it is tough running for office, it is not nearly as tough as the people who get in uniform and go get shot at so when people talk about how tough it is i'm thinking about all those veterans who go over and really make us free and to go run for office, that is chump change compared to what those guys go through on our behalf. stuart: we will see you at 8:00 eastern on saturday and sunday. >> i hope that is what you are doing this weekend. you can find other things and nothing would be better for you. stuart: well said. you will come and see as again soon, governor mike huckabee. trouble at sea world today. stocks down and i mean big the. we have the latest from the person who broke the story on

i use surprised at this candy crush stuff? >> not surprised. the king was profitable before candy crush. not like zynga. it is not a one trick pony like zynga but we need to see a strong sequel backing of candy crush. farm heroes, sounds good at king digital but that is the word on the street about king and a market cap is pretty high. stuart: those hand held games have peaked. that is it for the real halftime report. we appreciate it. the nearest threat to low-wage fast-food workers, robots. making hamburgers. full story after this.
