tv   Varney Company  FOX Business  August 19, 2014 11:00am-1:01pm EDT

11:00 am
20% and volume picking up, the company posting the biggest ever quarterly loss and that stock down $5. "the opening bell" tomorrow, same time and same place, dick parsons will be my special guest. time for "varney and company". stuart: who would have thought? it has an oddball name, a pair of founders who roller skated down the corridors, the evil mission statement. happy birthday google, 10 years old today. what the decade it has been. want to talk about growth? august 19th, 2004, it goes public. gee mail, google maps, chrome, android, music, self driving cars, google glass, they have the mall. real growth, the stock is up 1,300%. want to see cash? they have $61 billion. larry page, the founders of worth, $31 billion each. we but let's go on
11:01 am
from here. looking for the next google, that is why we are doing, celebrating success and looking for more. "varney and company" is about to begin. ♪ stuart: we always want more so let's get started. we have chosen three tech companies which could be primed to be the next google. as far as stock performance is concerned. facebook, tesla, amazon. charles payne is here. let me have my say. facebook, we put it on the list because it is in a whole new area and the stock only doubled so far. tesla, you are a big fan of elon musk, a whole new industry, whole new technology. amazon already growing by massive acquisition. the stock has done well but not that well. which of the three will you
11:02 am
agree could be the next google. charles: i have subscribers in facebook can tesla. amazon might have hit the arc. we are in an awkward position where i am more worried about them being up 1,000 points but facebook and has lost both unique and facebook obviously as -- mirrors people in many ways, information it gathers and controls and knows about and how it can market and monetize that. stuart: it has 1.2 million users. charles: the second-largest country in the world after china but we are independent country. stuart: you are not -- you would discount amazon. charles: for right now as far as 1,000%. stuart: facebook and has won 80. it is a stretch to suggest they will go up 1,300%. tell me about twitter. charles: twitters wild card, in
11:03 am
a similar position with respect to the information it gathers. what it knows about, what we voluntarily tell it. that is what google strip is, the ultimate -- companies from the beginning of time wanted to do one thing, google's respect, they continue to figure out ways to monetize. in some ways it is scary. stuart: dagen mining and understanding your customer so that you can direct that customer and check stuff at that customer. stuart: voluntarily telling them what we want, putting space ships and satellites over our houses and vans in front of our doors, they are a bit intrusive now. stuart: i've picked facebook, tesla and amazon. what you are really saying and i think i am reading between the lines, you think google could do it all over again. stuart: absolutely. there are so many places and ways they could grow. i will tell you this right now.
11:04 am
in the next ten years i think google will be more powerful than every government agency there is right now. more powerful than every single government agency there is. stuart: their model is due no evil. charles: i hope so. we can hold them to that. stuart: let's get back to reality. we are just conjecturing. a look at the stock market, up again. look at this. dow industrials up another -- 16,900. not too far short of an all-time record high, a couple hundred points the way. are you doing a lot of home repair? remodeling? if the answer is yes looking at the performance of home depot look at it go today. this is a very big company, big stock and it is data new high, $87.78, that is a 5% gain. good sales, excellent forecasts, up she goes. don't look now, the s&p 500 is up 7% this calendar year, that
11:05 am
is a better performance than the dow jones industrials. to the price of gold, it broke below $49 yesterday and still there today. look at the interest rate barometer which is a 10 year treasury yield, no change today, still at historically fairly low levels. big-name you know at jeff: ashley webster back in the new york stock exchange for another dose of trouble down there. that is a winner obviously. you will tell me why but i got to ask you this. how can a sporting goods company doing so well, with all the kids i know have their faces buried in tablets and smart phones and playing video games? ashley: they get out early and played games early saturday morning. as any parent, they get back and get back in front of their smart phones. dick's orting goods, sales up 10% from last year, same-store
11:06 am
sales of 3.2%, especially strength in women's and youth athletic apparel but there has been one fly in the ointment, golf period is struggling around the country whether it is the demise of tiger woods or whatever you want to say but it hit vix -- dick's sporting goods, they cut hundreds of jobs related to that division and the pga of america says and have 400 hired by dick's to serve as golf instructors. they were told they are going to be laid off. some good overall numbers but golf in particular has been a real area of struggle. stuart: later in the show we got interviews with rory mcilroy, tiger woods and some nike and the editor of golf digest about the problems with golf but before you go i am going to reveal something to our audience, you i believe are of former professional soccer
11:07 am
player. ashley: i wanted to be. got signed, cleaning the booth at the first team, lasted about a year, never made it. posing for free tickets. stuart: glad you are over here to talk about soccer. look at this. a new report from the agriculture department. the costs of raising one child from birth to age 18, $245,000 and up. that does not include the cost of college. let's bring in cayley mcentee any -- mcenneary. is it really 200,000? i don't believe it. >> it seems like a high number but it is spread out over two decades. a lot of these online calculators reach the same
11:08 am
conclusion, but it accounts for a bigger home, bigger car, account for recreational activities. if you really are at savvy parent you confine the recreational activities, there are plenty of things out there, it can't be lower than 240,000. stuart: 30% of the 430,000 is for housing. since when do you have to have a third bigger house when you have a child? 18% for education, 60% for food, it seems to me that this number, we take it at face value and we incorporate that into our personal lives, and the result is we have the lowest birthrate in the united states ever. i think these numbers are misleading. >> one thing i do want to point out that is interesting about this, health care spending since 1960 as a percentage of what it costs to raise a child doubled.
11:09 am
that will get worse as you look at obamacare and premiums, that is an interesting point i wanted to bring up. this does have a bearing on deciding -- they look at this number and finances and particular the young people. stuart: i believe it is a fact is that women, certainly parents with education or college degrees that are delaying and delaying, parenting, until well into their mid 30s which actually reduces the birthrate because if you starting your mid 30s you don't have as many children as if you started in a teenager or your early 20s. is that how millennials see it? you are looking at these costs? >> exactly. gallup poll this and found the vast majority of millennials are choosing not have a child because of the economy. the most startling number is for young senior millennial households, income, net worth of
11:10 am
the house hold at $6,000 today. back to 1991, $27,000, that is a 75% decline in net worth for a single millennial household. couple that with lack of jobs out there and student loan is the troubling picture and people ledges and not to have kids. good friend of mine was mary three years, because of finances, something millennials of looking and saying we can't do right now. stuart: charles payne is here. children, $240,000, zero to 18. charles: they say for an upper-income family was 450,000. but there is something odd about the conversation in the sense that from a darwin point of view the poor you are the more kids you have because the idea that a couple of them will break through. in this country going back to 2010 people who made incomes
11:11 am
under 10,000 had the biggest birthrates and it makes sense because that is how it happens. someone breaks through and they become the doctor and bring the rest of the family of 4 become this and bring the rest of the family of you got a better shot at changing the dynamics for the trajectory of the family. stuart: children in poor families are an asset which may have a rate of return. children in a relatively wealthy family, a liability. they cost money. last word to you. >> very interesting and there's a lot of truth to that and i know something charles talked about, young people, a cultural shift, not wanting to have children and i do see that with young women who are very career oriented. they have opportunities women in previous generations did not have previously. a focus on their careers and are having children later in life so that is an interesting cultural component. charles has spoken about it before. stuart: when are you going to
11:12 am
harvard law? >> i will head to new york for two week so i can come in studio with you next week and coming to harvard there after. stuart: we will book you. charles: she just booked her self. stuart: i tell you what. we will see you next week. >> thanks. stuart: to golf. number of people playing, number of people watching all down but nike is trying to reverse that trend, one of the only gulf brands to be growing its business, the rest are cutting jobs and tiger woods and rory mcilroy to do this. last night we caught up to rory mcilroy as nike launched its new vapor clubs line at new jersey's liberty natural golf course. >> it definitely needs a few guys that are competing in majors' all-time, dominant in
11:13 am
some way. i would love to see that guy, that kind of player right now. there is only going to be one tiger woods. stuart: much more from rory mcilroy, tiger and golf digest in our next hour. our lead story at the start of the week, those lapel cameras for police officers, one california town reduced the use of force to reduce the number of complaints against the cops because they're police officers wore those little cameras.

11:19 am
breaking news they decided to use the equipment they had for the concerts' and get in the street to report. they use the i phone apps and it was only a few people but reach 80,000 and because it was extremely compelling content -- stuart: when you created and presented a live string of an actual event used by anybody picking up that feet and it is easy to pick up, not that difficult. >> just a link on twitter and media outlets can embed it on the home page and captor and rebroadcast on television. what happened is the police were stuffing everybody with a big camera going through different check points and getting really -- stuart: the frogs could not take away the video because it has already been streams live. they couldn't take it away.
11:20 am
>> what is unique because it is so compelling is it went crazy on twitter and tens of thousands of people, a million over a few hours watched this content and typically in the world before only big media outlets like fox and others could do this. now anyone can do it if they are in a situation -- stuart: why stream unique? anyone else, any other function? >> some tried to do it, and better in terms of quality, fluctuating these events. stuart: when is the apps free? >> the platform is for the. we have a model that if you want to embed it on your web site the broadcast plan which starts at $49 a month. so this radio station started with a $49 a month and upgraded from the phone to this device we provide that you can attach to a camera and they become like a mini tv station with a tiny

the cops are not the problem in this neighborhood. the law abiding residents. they are calling the cops into these neighborhoods. it is another false narrative that is being put out there. >> why is chicago not in the headlines. >> in the same weekend that the shooting happened and ferguson, there were shootings in chicago. he does not want to talk about personal responsibility. i think that is what is at the heart of this. these cultural attitudes towards marriage, towards the rule of law, the breakdown of the family, that is not what the black leadership wants to
12:04 pm
discuss. i do not know how we will change these outcomes going forward. stuart: workbook is called, please stop helping us. what would you do with a black condition in america today? >> if you are worried about black unemployment, stop oppressing blacks out of the labor force. again, if you go back to the 20s and thursdays -- in some years, these black labor participants actually exceeded. since then, we have had this steady increase. we see that reflected in black unemployment. that is who is disproportionately harmed. i stopped keeping kids trapped

it just keeps on going up. a record high today. 8872 touched briefly just a short time ago. the world's largest home improvement train. home depot beating estimates. same-store sales also up nearly six and a half percent. full-year guidance very encouraging, indeed. the only caveat to all of this, there are concerns for home depot about the availability of mortgage financing. especially among the younger population. stuart: a big game for a very big company. i will stay on the housing market and go right to scott in chicago. the housing construction surged last month. a big gain.
12:08 pm
are you buying the idea that housing is now on a more firm footing of recovery? >> i suppose it is on a little better recovery and it was a month earlier. we are looking at it from the bottom. we need to see a lot of that stock, off the market. until then, i do not think that the guy on the street will feel any better. that was where we kind of got started. with the fed pushing, i think that you will benefit from the upper 1%. they are going like hot cakes.
12:09 pm
stuart: you are right again, scott. one of the greenies favorite arguments. the cattle industry, in particular. contributing to global warming. not everyone is buying that. the average cheeseburger is melting the polar ice cap. grass fed local or organic beef. these result in lower productivity. greater water and land use and higher carbon footprints. a professor of agricultural economics. he joins us right now. you wrote that article. make your case.

12:12 pm
sophisticated. >> if you agree, if you disagree with my particular policies that somehow you are not very smart, i think the reality is the world is actually quite complex. it is ignoring a host of complex issues. for example, in lots a lot of arguments that people are making is meat is too cheap. it is 15% more expensive than last year. stuart: okay. you just coined a great expression. professor, thank you very much for joining us. appreciate it.

12:20 pm
let's adopt one. you are not paying your fair share. that plays well politically. you are getting accused of taking money that they should pay in taxes. if they are not pay more than they are required to, they should not criticize companies. if you want to change that, it
12:21 pm
should change the tax code. keep american companies competitive. if we are not competitive, we will go down the same road. conventional farming, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, are ruining the climate. you sell a lot of burgers. are you killing the planet? >> no. that is ridiculous. one thing that we could change would be if we got rid of the renewable fuel standards. everybody from al gore to the ipp c. the renewable fuel standards is actually more damaging to the environment than if you just choose regular petroleum products. get rid of the renewable fuel
12:22 pm
standard. they have offered a bill that would eliminate the renewable fuel standard. that is something that would help everybody. let's not starve people by reducing the amount of available people. again, we are dealing with a global economy that has very strong demand overseas. we need it because of the shortage of beef. >> we may be selling out stock. you are just not sophisticated enough. >> always a pleasure. see you soon. payments for motorized wheelchairs. after the break, the man who
