stocks reacting to another negative read on the economy. >> aims are certainly better tom. the market is react into what is going on in europe. it is reacting to what i am calling the quantitative easing. unless we get some type of fiscal reform in the united states i think the market languishes here over the next several months. >> europe is firing up their quantitative easing. they have all kinds of problems. they have protesters in spain over the weekend. they want anti-austerity. >> i think that is something that is worrying our market. the strengthening dollar is also worrying our market. two and a half, two and a quarter% growth.

that is weighing on the markets. the quantitative easing was working for a very long period of time. you need political reform. you need corporate tax reform. tom: you say it was working but it was artificial. we do not have a pure market. >> we will not have one for a very long time. we are in the age of governmental intervention. the united states will be in their manipulating the market for a long time. it is harder to manipulate it now because you are up against a budget. you are up against the structural reforms that are needed in the united states and others. tom: we will take a look at that super bowl.

was that a great game or what? an amazing ending thanks to what many are calling the worst call in super bowl history. a lot of people wondering why pete carroll did not just run the ball. he had lynch bayer, the bulldozer. the nfl's all-time leading rusher chiming in. emmitt smith. that was the worst play call i have seen in the history of football. joining us now on the phone is pete schrager. >> this is one where i was in the building. up on the field. ready to go out there. the fans. the players. the officials were shocked that lynch did not get the ball.

they are supposed to be the greatest defense in nfl history. somehow, someway tom brady takes the troops and get those touchdowns. their defense stops russell wilson and the seattle offense. tom: the best super bowl ever. where do you rank it? >> i was here in phoenix with the giants. to me, it is those two games. the final two minutes, the fourth quarter i will never forget where i was for both of those games. and the feelings i had and the amount of amazing unlikely endings and both of those games. this is right up there. >> it sure is right up there. what about tom brady being the

mvp? without malcolm butler, the patriots probably it would have lost that game. >> butler is the mvp as far as your cool stories go. tom brady is magnificent. here is the best story, next year, super bowl 50 is in santa clara. that is where tom brady grew up. it was a whole team effort. they got it from the most unlikely of players, malcolm butler. >> thank you so much for being on with us. it really was an amazing game last night. thank you so much. this ad by nationwide, roll the

stuart: checking the big board we have the dow jones up we started off with a negative the first hour or so and now it's positive. oil was higher most of the morning as well united steelworkers union telling people to go on strike at major refineries barely turning -- well it is just up a fraction i now almost 1.5%. gas prices holding steady at $2.5. regular ups up since this time last week and the ten-year treasury at the lowest level since may 2013.

so check that out. president obama claiming that he's all in for the middle class. but it turns out that many of his policies are hurting the very people that he says he wants to help and that's not me saying it. that is what paul ryan has to say. >> he gave us a lot of happy talk about the economy, as if it was a mission accomplished speech. it's not, we have a long way to go, people are hurting and we have to get back to work to fix this. stuart: townhall.com editor and fox news contributor guy benson is with us. he says he wants to help the middle class. everyone is saying that. have you help the middle class by taxing the rich? >> tom, it's good to be with you. if you look at the analyses of the budget proposal, $4 trillion that he is announcing right now. if you look at the net and that with all of the numbers that are cronje the crunch numbers, they get a

very small number increase. he talks about redistribution fairness, that kind of thing. when he is coining a term like middle-class economics, his budget will actually increase the overall tax burden for the average middle-class earner. so are there any policy prescriptions that both sides could agree upon this over the next three to six months? and if so, what are they? >> here is the problem. there are a couple in there, one being corporate tax overall the lowering of the raid. but the president and his opening bid, his buddy has put out this and it a lot of strings attached, repatriation and those sorts of things. but trying to lower and make a more sensible corporate tax rate is something where there is common agreement and another one

would be to some extent in construction spending. conservatives believe that it is a proper role of government to spend money on infrastructure and the question is how do you pay for it. second of all, in this budget, the president calls for about have a chilling dollars of infrastructure spending over the next six years. $470 billion to be precise. i think what a lot of republicans on capitol hill are going to ask you is okay hang on, mr. president, we understand that this is a core function of government. why is it that you are calling for more infrastructure spending, taxpayers to pay for you are threatening to veto the keystone pipeline in which only this infrastructure requires the government to get out of the way and say yes to let the private sector do its thing. >> whether it is the corporate tax rate reduction on all and all these things, it is the same old song the we have been hearing and people by now are saying that i've heard this and i've that i've seen this movie and i know how it turns out. my income is still lower and

herding. >> there's very little that is new in the budget. one of the big things that got a lot of attention which is now gone, it has been jettisoned because it created such a stir is that raising taxes or taxing for the first time college savings accounts which was going to hammer a lot of middle-class families. in the current budget also looks like it only cuts the taxes for about 12.5 or 13% and will middle income earners. there were dueling slams on various elements of the middle class. virtually as you point out that nothing, very little new in this budget proposal. how long have they been talking about crumbling roads and bridges. tom: yes i know and they are still crumbling. last question and putting on the spot, if everyone is for the reduction of taxes, why don't the republicans are controlled house and then it passed a clean bill on reducing corporate taxes and let him veto it?

>> that's a good question and i think the reason is that you have to talk to folks like this at the ways and means. i think that when there is a central area of agreement that both parties want to work toward, there is an incentive as they try to negotiate to keep that sort one thing on the table, finding a way to get towards it a few of them being snipped here in arizona there something that's acceptable at the end of the day. tom: guy benson, always good to get your take on it. well, carnival cruise lines debuting its first super bowl ad last night. only 4% of people in america take cruises. will this change her mind? let's take a look. >> we are tied to the ocean and when we go back to the sea whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from where we came.

>> he had a dinner with chris christie the other night. >> this is sort of like the nba free agency were you can get courted by everyone in the republican party. no reason for him to drop in endorsement yet and i don't think that he will. this is an interesting story about the governor. you have to be organized in 12 to 40 states just to get going and it is 100 million for the primary and a billion to be the president. tom: that is a lot of money. the measles continuing to spread. fourteen states, okay, judge andrew napolitano is here. some want to make vaccinations mandatory. >> before the interview, you ran a clip of somebody that looked like john stossel. but it could not have been john. the words that came out of his mouth were those of some woodrow

wilson progressive who wouldn't want their child vaccinated. [laughter] >> who owns your body? that is what i would say. tom: i said to john stossel that mandatory and government in the same paragraph -- >> let me backtrack. in my world in the libertarian world and in john's world as well, there wouldn't be government schools, they be like starbucks, on every street corner, competing with each other, they would be very efficient and inexpensive. this school gets you to princeton, this teaches you to be an aircraft engineer, school says you have to be vaccinated. you should make it so you can pick and choose where you want but the world we have today is mandatory government schools. with some exceptions if you go to a private school and if you can do home schooling. so confronting the world, the issue remains does the government have the right to

force vaccinations and in my view it is not because if you are an adult you own your own body and if you are a parent, you are the custodian of the body of your child and the government can say that we won't let you in the door if the child is not vaccinated. but the government cannot force needles and pens and your kids again without your approval. >> i get back. the public health curtain seems to be one that moves a little bit differently than so many others. >> that is the excuse the government gives when they want to intrude. remember when chris christie says this -- and it's going to spread the ebola virus over all of new jersey. and then they let her out and she didn't spread it to anyone. if there is a typhoid mary out there, a human being or a discrete group of human beings who are spreading the disease they can be confined.

but to suggest that because they are children they are susceptible and they must be vaccinated against the will of the parents is not justified on the the constitution. i don't have children but if i did, i would get them vaccinated. i was vaccinated and i survived my nieces and nephews have been vaccinated and they survived. it is a healthy thing to do but we have have the freedom to say yes or no. tom: what about the doctors are saying that i won't see you or your children are not vaccinated. >> poorly they have the right to do it, but legally they do not. you can sue your doctor. if the doctor's job to vaccinate himself. >> what about stossel? >> well, i don't know where the tables are. you know, if he wasn't pulling your leg john and i need to spend a little time together.

out there on their own and it looks like what a magnificent company there are. it's good for everyone. tom: you have a great background, thank you very much. shake shack, i mention them, big winner on friday. it was crazy. but not today. >> they're giving things back. the stock was up almost 120% on friday after pricing at a higher level than anybody anticipated. and is only giving back 3.5% as we speak. it went to $42. at the ipo price is still well below that. and certainly they are looking for the growth opportunity.

and we really cater to the affluent customer. this is something that the other teams cannot compete with. so that is what people are betting on. they have 63 restaurants in the plant open 10 of them each year until they can get close to 500. but the shake shack certainly has wowed wall street and they are giving a little bit back today. >> this is why all these people are looking for these big growth that you are talking about. >> yes, there are plenty of people that think that this is insane for this company. tom: nicole petallides, thank you so much. last week we told you about apple's plans to seal $5 billion in bonds. to borrow the money and then bring back all that they have parked overseas. well the president wants to tax it and that's part of -- talk about the 4 billion budget plan

that he has. a lot of this taxing a lot of these monies overseas, steve moore joins us. this announcement could not be more of a slap in the face than what the president is proposing. >> yes, they had to borrow money because they can't bring the money that they store overseas back to the united states. and what sense does that make? why would we have a federal policy that discourages american company from bringing money back here to the united states so they can build jobs and factories in the united states that is because they have to pay the high corporate tax. what a lot of members of congress including rand paul have proposed with barbara boxer who is a liberal democrat is why not make these companies pay may be a little bit more of a tax five or 6% bring in money to the treasury. it creates jobs here. it's good for shareholders. and then these companies don't have to borrow.

>> steve, you might as well get the republicans to be better successful at teaching to borrow other than raising taxes right now. here's the other thing that the president will lay that the last time that we did a tax holiday, the companies laid off workers and they basically -- 60 the 90% dividends. what i want to say is so what? so what do they return capital to investment dividends. and so what do you say to that? >> first of all, i agree with you. that analysis, that they use the money to help workers is crazy. if you look at the evidence, it raised money for the treasury according to every analysis including the governments own money. something like 20 or $30 billion in the federal treasury and inseparable these companies did expand their operations and use a lot of money for things like stock buyback and you guys know

this is an investment show. when these companies by that the stocks, what happens to the values of the shares? it's good for everyone and workers it's good for everyone. can you explain to me the downside? >> the only thing i did not like about it that drives me crazy about tax policy out of washington is these temporary tax holidays. just change the policy, change the rate because if i'm running in some company i need to do -- at least my five-year budgeting. >> you're exactly right, if we could cut out the corporate tax rates to someone somewhere in the neighborhood of this i would like to just happened to the shareholders, if we do that then the companies wouldn't pay this for bringing the money back and that's what we want them to do. i want america to have a fair advantage in money that is stored abroad to come to the united states. that helps american workers.

>> we have been out this for six years, that these policies, the labor force is 140 million, less than 2% by 2008. a 14% tax hike is never temporary. why not cut out the government waste first? >> populist messages get votes. but i think the voters -- i think they're going to be smarter. >> you know, if you look at the obama budget that came out this morning, it is all basically tax increases in the top one or 2% the president revealed as in the state of the union address. if you take a look at who gets hurt by these investment taxes and the capital gains tax when president obama and it is a 50%, he now wants to take up to 20% and that would be almost doubling of the tax on investment. the company is -- this is a simple economics lesson. but it's sobering. companies invest less in

factories and things like that, there are fewer jobs. if american workers are not as productive because they don't have technology, they cannot get paid as much. wire wages stagnant? because companies are not investing. [inaudible] we want one you are using common sense. that is your problem. you need to give the answer that obama gave when he was running for president in 2008. saying that it's fairer. >> that's right, i would be in favor of raising the capital gains tax is added it didn't raise revenue and that's where we are today. >> steve, thank you for the economics and we appreciate it. let's talk about the president. the president did sit down for an interview with nbc and savanna guthrie and all that is going on in the world. so what is this? what is this that they chose to talk about, take a listen.

[inaudible] >> we could have a game of either or. football or basketball? >> i'm still a best ball guy loki but i love football. always offense. [inaudible] >> now that is tough. i'm going to go with chips. >> riveting. i just have to say. i'm kidding. the other thing the president said in his -- you know, that he was the first president since george w. bush excuse me george washington to make moves in the white house the internet is going crazy because george washington never lived in the white house and also hail to the chief with that kerfuffle over that one. but it will make you laugh. >> the pew research study to the survey. they said he's a nice guy, that he doesn't know what he's doing. so, i mean you go have a beer

with the guy he's nice but he doesn't know what doing. that is pew research area and coming up too shocking ads sparking internet outrage. go daddy lost puppy and the nationwide dead kid ad. which one did you find more outrageous? and the measles outbreak of sparking a nationwide debate on mandatory vaccines. doctor marc siegel weighing in on that after the break. >> the government can say that we won't let you in the door if the child is not vaccinated. that the government cannot force needles and pins into your kids skin without your approval

the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

tom: gas is on the rise and refinery workers on strike across the u.s., the biggest in 35 years. liz macdonald, a lot of refineries. >> yes, apparently 10% of the refining capacity, the question is will gas prices go up.

last time there was an oil refinery strike like this that lasted three months. this was settled earlier that is what we heard from wall street, no confirmation yet. what we need to realize is that oil stocks that used to make gas are at levels unheard of since 1982 when the government started tracking it. even though oil is popping up gas and oil could trend downward because we have a lot of inventory. tom: that is where everyone is waiting for if there's a bottom coming up soon. switching subjects. tom friedman warning that the united states could see a large outbreak of the measles. there are least 102 reported cases in 14 states and fox news medical team, doctor mark stevens is with us. are you worried about this? >> yes, i am. we need an attitude shift, we have 92% vaccination rate in the country, it's not enough, measles is the most contagious virus known to man or woman.

90%, seriously. that means if you had it and i wasn't vaccinated and i was sitting here next year 90% chance that i will get it. tom: people say you don't have to worry if your vaccinated. >> in a way they are right because of the 99% effectiveness and the great vaccine. but it's not 100%. it wears off and 10% of the cases. so you or i might not be immune. so notice that i at disneyland into that and i will have to check with the antibodies to see if you're still immune or not. tom: when i was a child, i think i got the measles area but i'm not sure. but i don't know what shots that i got smacked if you got the measles you are immune. everyone that thinks they have this as a child didn't necessarily. they might have had german measles. but the biggest problem here is

an and those of us who are adults who may have worn off it's the 13,000 parents last year who took that exemption and said that i don't believe in the mmr vaccine and i don't want my kids to having another kid can go to school because of that exemption. >> how bad you think that this outbreak all get and what happens when adults get them two isn't it a worse thing for adults to get it? >> i'm worried that this could get into the thousands. you know 145,000 kids died last year world wide of the measles. >> i did not know that. to answer this question in the u.s., with our health care system, it is not very likely that you're going to die from the measles. and 10% get pneumonia, one out of a thousand die. and so it's something to be taken quite seriously. >> speaking of children, the cdc says it's found a lot of packaged goods for toddlers that

contain high amounts of salt and sugar. are you surprised? >> i'm not happy about it. one out of nine infants and young children already have high blood pressure and the reason is because of the salt. >> babies? >> yes, babies and young children. because 80% of kids aged one to three exceed the amount of salt but they are supposed to get on a daily basis. because they eat the package hot dogs were two and cheese or even cereal bars and they are loaded with salt. your only swiss do have 1.5 grams of salt if you're a kid. most kids are getting a lot more than that and that is just a small problem with high blood pressure and it leads to heart disease later on. most kids are not having high blood pressure, but it is a problem. you be all the salt all your life and eventually you have it. smack you look at children and you think back and cheese, all little kids love machen cheese.

but how much of a product is easier to make at home than it is to buy a packaged product. >> you know i didn't know that it was interior all bars. >> added sugar added salt most of the products have at least one added sugar and i think it's something like high fructose corn syrup. kids are obese, they are taking too much sugar. tom: you are doing the education. doctor mark siegel. thank you so much. >> kids will drink what you give them. tom: i like water. water is good.

and especially because of the intense cold a few weeks ago this time it snowed the first major winter storm of the season and this is hitting new england pretty much today. i guess that we should expect this. but right now if you want to get around it might make you out of breath. >> yes, that was a youtube moment there. tom: we ask you which of the super bowl ads will be outrageous. there was nationwide insurance would child discussing his death

or the go daddy ad that was pulled friday to the super bowl over concerns. what was more outrageous? >> i did not like them, the go daddy ad i didn't like it i thought it was too edgy i'm an animal lover, trying to take a dig at the budweiser puppy ad and that did not play. people didn't realize that that's what happened. i think the nationwide at is a super bowl slot. and again, it's lit on fire over this, calling it morbid and disturbing to try to sell insurance, and even the company's reaction to the outrage over the nationwide ad is making the situation worse. tom: the nationwide ad was in very poor taste and i hope that -- i just think of all the people i feel so bad for them all the people that lost children. >> that's right, it's hurtful to

them. i'm not even sure if nationwide thought of that. what they are saying is we want to build awareness of the issue but they also said this. they said that we wanted to stage an intervention. we are serious about that and we want to see that they are going to stage an intervention into this issue of people dying from accidents. and the role that people want. is that what they are about? they are about selling insurance.

what happens when the population shrinks like that? >> japan is an example for the rest of the world. they have the worst demographics on the planet. that will be a global market not a japanese market, per se. the bailout over there will work its way back here. the exporters have the real economic strength over there. >> keith, it is liz here. the valuations, curran c problems. i think that is where the lack swans are floating. do you focus on mid- caps, small caps that operate the united states? central banks continue to devalue around the world. >> i think that this is a parallel to the 1920s. i think you do want to be u.s.
