other day who started a successful restaurant in philadelphia, wants to open another one, went to bank, she's had positive cash flow from day one, needed 360,000, they said we'll give you $60,000. that's why we're not getting the job creation we need. stuart: that's interesting. so all this money printing is no good if the banks are restricted in how they give it out in loans. >> that's right. stuart: that's the underlying story here? >> that's the underlying story. that's why you have deflation and negative interest rates. >> the argument that we were making on this network seven years ago when this all began, we sat and said that this was basically stimulus money wasn't going to work. it didn't work. you're both -- you're showing that point right now because again, you hand the bank the money then you say you've got to have -- stuart: you know if i lend $100 to uncle sam for ten years they pay me $2 a year in interest. if i loan $100 to the german government for ten years, they pay me 30 cents in interest. and if i put $100 into a swiss

inheritance and have grown it. so this world is yearning to grow if the politicians just would stop mucking up. stuart: 197 women billionaires versus 172 previously, so a net gape of 25 female -- gain of 25 female billionaires. >> that's right. right here in the united states. a woman named elizabeth holmes, dropout from stanford, a little over 30 years old. she had a phobia for needles, so she's invented this device to test blood a little prick in your finger and boom, it's dope. you don't have to go through the rigamarole, she's worth over $4 billion. stuart: forgive me, but i'm not heard of -- >> yes, she's been on the fox business network. institute oh, i'm sorry. she's made $4 billion? >> that's her work. and we'll see how the company because, but that kind of entrepreneurship, i think is a good sign. and now in terms of women doing things, denise coats in britain, a little less exalted than the

blood thing, she's in the gambling business online -- stuart: what's her name again? >> denise coats. stuart: and she's british? she's worth a billion? >> over a billion. stuartout and she started this from scratch? she didn't inherit it from her do you duke of a husband? >> no no. stuart: that's pretty good. >> you should look at these dating site numbers. [laughter] stuart: stop it, steve. stop it right now. [laughter] the tech boom. that's created these billionaires. >> a lot of them. stuart: what about american tech boom billionaires versus chinese tech boom billionaires? >> you get some from china, but we still have our mojo here. actually jack ma, obviously, with alibaba, but here with uber, air b&b and things like that we're still moving ahead. stuart: you still -- >> snap khat, youngest billionaire in the world, evan spiegel, 24. worth over a billion dollars. i betcha his phone calls are returned when he calls up. [laughter] stuart: t but your -- michael

jordan is on the list. >> yes, and he owes that to a racist, donald sterling. steve balmer bought his basketball team, that raised the value of all of these other nba teams. the hornets mostly owned by jordan suddenly shot up in value, and now he's a billionaire. stuart: that's fantastic. >> so he knows how to not only shoot but also shoot those dollars. stuart: bill gates still the world's richest man? >> yes, he is $79 billion. he's given away a lot of it, made another gift last year of microsoft stock -- >> i'm always curious, yeah when you do this list every year, did it change this year, the top five? is that the same five people? >> pretty much the same on that level. but in the top 20 zuckerberg is now in the top 20, another college dropout. so -- i shouldn't say that with education on the forefront

but -- stuart: but you said it. [laughter] >> entrepreneurship. that's what this list teaches me every year, entrepreneurship. stuart: i'm a missionary to this country. that's what i'm all about. steve forbes, thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. stuart: netanyahu to speak before congress tomorrow. yeah, he's going to do it. one of putin's biggest rivals murdered. the world is going -- well, it's on fire isn't it? yet the market is at an all-time high. k.t. mcfarland, charlie gasparino and all of those stories top of the next hour which is just two minutes away.

stuart: when your neighbors want to kill you and your friends give you the cold shoulder, you have reason to worry. benjamin netanyahu is worried. he knows president obama desperately wants a nuclear deal with iran, and he thinks our president will eventually let them get a bomb. the very existence of israel is clearly threatened. so is america.

is anyone comfortable with mullahs marching unstopped to get a nuke? anybody? this is why israel's leader will address america's congress tomorrow. he's going to call out president obama's tilt to the muslim world. he's going to spell out the danger we're all in. he will speak the truth. and he's right to do this. simply because the issue is so important. it cannot be swept under the diplomatic rug. the iranians just played war games where they destroyed a mock-up of an american aircraft carrier. documents from osama bin laden show al-qaeda working hand in glove with iran for years, and we're going to let them get a nuke? i don't think it is too harsh to say that this is a failed presidency. it cannot be allowed the ultimate failure which is a nuclear weapon in the hands of a terror-addicted islamic regime. welcome, mr. netanyahu. tell us how you see it, because we want to hear. ♪ ♪

stuart: well you just heard what i had to say about mr. netanyahu's visit. fox news national security analyst k.t. mcfarland is here to weigh in as well. do you think i was being a little restrained? >> yeah. because there are two issues here. one is iran potentially getting nuclear weapons, threatening israel. and this is his hail mary pass. he knows obama's about to sell israel down the river in exchange for a deal with iran, so he's trying to talk to the american people and the american congress saying please, don't let this happen. but there's a second thing which is it's not what president obama thinks that iran's intentions are or what iran promises it's going to do. i mean, i think -- i look at them as iran pretends they're not going to build nuclear weapons we pretend to believe them but the reality is what do the other countries in the region think? if the saudis, if the egyptians, if the turks, if others in the region look at iran and say i think iran is on the cusp of getting nuclear weapons, it is a

threshold nuclear state, they will say -- this is being done now with america's blessing, therefore, we've got to figure out our own security therefore, we want nuclear weapons too. so you could see a nuclear arms race in the middle east in the next five or six years which we have seen in this last several years. there are unstable governments, there are shifting alliances, and if you throw nukes into that equation, pretty dangerous world. stuart: congress at some point has to pass judgment either on the sanctions against iran or the deal which the president wants to work out. >> correct. stuart: congress has to pass judgment. now, they will pass that judgment, and the president will probably veto what congress wants to do. i suspect that mr. netanyahu wants to address congress so that they might be in a position to override the president's veto. is that possible? >> well, sure override the president's veto or at least slow the process down. congress was in on the beginning of this it needs to be in on the end of it. it imposed those sanctions to

lift those sanctions on iran's economy congress has to agree to it. stuart: he's the one guy that can upset the plans. he's the one guy. the whole thing falls on this address. >> yeah. and the administration's saying, well, he wasn't invited, it breaches protocol concern are you kidding? this is a country that is looking at survival. they don't care about the niceties of protocol. >> tens of thousands of people marched through moscow to commemorate the life of boris memsov. russia seems to have gone beyond that river. there's no turning back. they are a brutal, criminal dictatorship, and i think we should be very worried. >> yeah. i think they've progressively gotten to this point but i think now vladimir putin is showing how reckless he is. ukraine, what he's doing in eastern ukraine where he's saying oh, it's not my guys but yet there are pro-russian forces fighting with russian equipment in eastern ukraine

he's now basically assassinated his rival right in front of the kremlin it's like right in front of the white house equivalent, and he's saying well, it wasn't really me. nobody believes it. stuart: this kind of thing didn't happen even in soviet days. >> no. and that's why this is so reckless. stuart: the opposition. >> well, not right in front of your hometown. he's becoming increasingly reckless, and i don't know where this goes. this is why i think that putin has made some calculations. he got away with crimea. he's getting away with ukraine. what's next? he looks at america, which is his only country that could stand up and say enough and he's seep an american president who's so desperate with a deal from iran and an american president who wants out of foreign policy and a distracted american president. so there's no consequence for doing what he's doing so go for it. stiewfer stuart that's what atlantic this all so worrying. i look at what's going on around the world, disastrous situation, negotiations with iran.

putin getting very aggressive very blatant -- >> yeah. stuart: and the wall street goes to a record high. i'm asked about this constantly. the world go goes to hell in a handbasket over there and we have a record high for stock prices. i know you're not a financial analyst -- >> hey, come on. it sure does except for the fact that where else are you going to put your money? you're not about to invest in russia, you know? you're not about to invest in maybe iraq, so what looks really good in american companies. we're the only safe haven, and as bad as -- stuart: and the oil. >> sorry liz here. the oil price plunge has led to a lot of saber rattling in russia too, rights? >> well it threatens to bankrupt russia and bankrupt iran. >> right. >> a lot of moving parts in this. stuart: so why doesn't our president understand that if we produce more oil here, we'll bankrupt the bad guys? >> not part of the plan. stuart: thank you very much, k.t., look at the price of, first of all, stock prices. the dow jones industrial average hit a new high earlier, 18,250.

we're still up 100 points. the nasdaq that's the big story today, it hit the 5,000 level earlier, holding very, very close to that level right now. 4997. liz, you jumped into the discussion -- >> i apologize. stuart: you don't need to -- >> it was such a great discussion, i apologize. forgive me. stuart: nasdaq 5,000. is it a bubble? >> no, here's why. i've covered the corporate accounting scandals for the dot.com era for "the wall street journal", these companies have real earnings. back then with pets.com and it was eyeballs per clicks or clicks per revenue. the nasdaq back then was trading at a hundred times earn,ings right now it's about 22 times earnings. yeah, we have individual bubble activity like uber -- stuart: that's not a stock. >> but the valuation is coming in higher an a kraft or delta, or air b&b is higher than tesla, so individually it looks like a

bubble, but -- and by the way, the cash piles are big. apple's cash pile is bigger than the gdp of entire countries. doesn't feel like it's going to end in tears. stuart: but i think there is a bubble in those companies like uber snapchat, what's app, air b&b. that's where the bubble is. they're not publicly-traded companies. they're being boosted, their total value, but people trying to put money on a future big winner. >> yeah, that's right. and when you see an air b&b valued at more than a starwoods hotel which has an infrastructure buildout and it's valued around tesla's value are, by the way stuart, here's the bottom line, you're right, it's about the balance sheets of these guys and whether they're spending too much money or going through cash burn. that's the name of the game for these individually highly valued stocks. stuart: what's the word there, k.t. mcfarland security analyst, bubble or not? [laughter] >> all i can tell you is nobody ever went broke investing in america. stuart: that was very good.

and i wrapped it up very nicely. well done. look at lumber liquidators, please. it was halted all morning, it's now saying that the $60 minutes" -- "60 minutes" used improper testing methods in its report used last night which said there were very high levels of formaldehyde in their flooring products that come in from china. they say this is all fueled by short sellers betting against the stock. >> yeah. and the question is if you get many now, is the value trap -- when is the bottom going to be hit? lumber liquidators does have a good balance sheet, not a lot of department. stuart: we always give tom sullivan a hard time simply because he held a fundraiser in his own home with president obama present. so we believe them a -- we give him a hard time. here's lauren simonetti. >> president obama tries to ban bullets for the popular ar-15

rifle, and lawmakers fight back. more than 100 members of congress signing a letter opposing the bullet ban, they say it intir fears -- interferes with second amendment rights and there is no evidence the ammo poses a danger to police officers. well, some colleges are giving financial aid to illegal immigrants from the same coffers that are supposed to help american students in need. new york university is one of those schools that's been doling out the funds since the president's 2012 executive action deferring deportation to kids brought here illegally by their parents. that college and others say illegals help bring diversity to campus. and the texas nurse made famous after contracting ebola now set to sue. nina pham says she will be the voice for other nurses when she files suit against the owner of the dallas hospital where she became ill. and those are your headlines in cause you missed it today, stuart. stuart: lauren, thank you very much, indeed. here is what we have for you for the rest of this hour. we get boxer crystal jeers' take

stuart: look at oil, still hovering around $50 a barrel but look at gas. keeps on going up i'm sorry to say. national average for regular is now $2.42. it was up five cents just over the weekend. it's gone up, straight up for 34 straight days. but look at this, the california spike that was successfully forecast, it happened last week up 43 cents a gallon in california just in one week. the average in the golden state -- the formerly golden state -- $3.38. this is the bit that we always bring you, cheapest gas in the land. jasper, texas. $1.27 at shell, $1.29 at exxon. forget that for a second, liz macdonald. >> yeah. stuart: this rebound in gas prices -- >> not good, especially with fourth quarter gdp coming in at just 2.4%.

and remember consumer spending was what drove that. so when gas prices go up, people feel psychologically ah this doesn't feel so great and they're not going to spend. stuart: it went down so fast, this is great -- >> yeah. stuart now 34 straight days straight back up again. just bad news. >> ouch. and we're coming into that spring season too. stuart: that's right. >> refineries rebooting up. stuart: believe me, i'm waiting for this winter to end so i can drive again. because i haven't been behind the wheel for a while. now this, boxing. cementing its comeback with this upcoming fight two of the biggest names in the sport they're going to face off, manny pacquiao versus floyd mayweather. look at that, that is the purse by the way, $200 million. $80 million goes to the loser. let's bring in wbo light welterweight champion and a man who's fought manny pacquiao, chris algieri. >> thanks for having me. stuart: you lost. >> i did, unfortunately.

stuart: did he beat you up bad? >> no, it wasn't bad. he's a great champion. stuart: you wanted this fight. you wanted to beat pacquiao -- >> i was able to sneak in and beat a guy i wasn't supposed to beat i expected to beat manny and get into this position so i'm kind of sitting on the sidelines, watching these guys -- stuart: it must hurt. >> a little bit. luckily, i'm young, and i'm looking to get right back into the mix. stuart: where does the $the 200 million come from? >> this is a huge, huge, this is the fight the fans have wanted for decades. it's going to bring a lot of attention. stuart: pay-per-view? >> pay-per-view, all the marketing leading up to the bout there's a lot of money. stuart: when i say the purse is $200million that's what the fight is worth. >> that's what the two fighters will split. stuart: will they get more from endorsements or movies or paraphernalia, whatever it is they sell? >> absolutely. at such a high level these guys

can generate a lot of revenue from other places other than just the fight. stuart: it brings boxing back doesn't it? >> it does. it's going to bring outside eyes back into the sport. stuart: at the moment it's cage fighting -- >> the ufc and ultimate fighting yep. stuart: that really kind of took over from boxing. >> for a while, but boxing's been around for a very long time and i think it's coming back now. this fight can cement it. stuart: well, you want it to come back, because you're a boxer. >> of course i do. there's money to be made. stuart: i forget her name, is it rhonda rouse city? i'm reading the prompter, she took on in a weekend match cat zingano, there you have a still shot from it. ms. rousey won in 14 seconds. that's not good for boxing. >> well, i mean it's not good for -- stuart: that's ultimate fighting. >> yeah. >> cage fighting right? stuart: there's a huge difference.

would you go to that? >> no. i'm a purist. when i was a kid, there was no mma. so i'm living my dream being able to be a boxer. i wouldn't be living my dream in a cage. stuart: what do you think of women boxers? >> um, i mean, it's growing. stuart: be honest. >> i'd rather not watch it myself personally -- stuart: why? >> i don't know. i think of women differently than as, you know fighting, you know? but there's -- it is a tremendous sport and they train very hard as well. stuart: so what are you doing now? because you lost to manny pacquiao -- >> back in the gym. stuart: you're back in the gym looking for other fights. >> we should be announcing it very soon. stuart: are you trying to work your way back up to another fight? >> the goal is always to get to that level, because that's where the highest earners are. stuart: how far away are you from that kind of money? >> one fight can change everything, so we can come back with, you know another couple fights and be right there. stuart: will you fight in america this time? >> yes. this next fight should be in

loudly and disturb the peace so that's what she's being fined for, disturbing the police. apparently literally standing in front of people's housing to pray very, very loudly and, you know, it's upsetting people there. stuart: is she targeting individuals or just out there? >> it doesn't seam like that. she's out you know, just praying loudly. people are supposed to pray quietly in church, but it's not about exhibition, it's about the prayer itself. the internet is blowing up about this and the police chief said we all need prayers, that's great but it's just the volume of her voice that's the issue. stuart: she doesn't use a bull horn though? >> no, she just prays loudly. stuart: okay. not a bad story. pope francis speaking on the economy warning of a throwaway culture, that our current system, quote seems fatally destined to suffocate hope and increases threats end quote. also a new delivery service it's called magic. you text them a request, they go out and get it for you,

they just texted that one sentence and we were able to figure out by contacting the manufacturer what they needed. imagine just been able to send that text message. stuart: you have to pay for it, of course. it is not cheap. >> that allen wrench was $20 total. that was a fairly low priced item. some things are more expensive than that. for about $75 or so total we delivered some sushi and flowers to a person on a boat. we were able to contact a restaurant and a flower place

and get that all to him for about $75. >> your piece of that has to be pretty big. what do you take? >> the first failed to deliver. we had to get a second courier. it was all within a one-hour timeframe. stuart: what is your piece of the action, how much? >> something like a 10 or $15. >> for a generic $100 delivery. what is your piece of the action? >> it completely depends on the difficulty. we may only be taking two or it read dollars. stuart: i am desperate to figure out how much you are getting out of this. on top of the fish tank one something like a 10 or $15 fee

on our side. there have been situations where we have done way more complicated things than that. somebody ordered a barbecue for 12 across state lines. three hour delivery through the snow. stuart: out of all the deals you have ever done, what is the average piece the average percentage that you take out of the delivery price? >> the average rate now is about 10%. stuart: i would have thought you would have done better than that. >> some of the things are really easy to do. some of the things are very difficult.

it really can vary depending on the request. >> you have a great organization. if i offered you $10 million for magic tomorrow morning cash, would you sell? >> at this time i definitely would not. we are getting so much interest and excitement about this. stuart: would you sell out for any price? >> is this something that i really want to exists. there certainly is a price but it is just a one-week old company so it is definitely to early to say. stuart: how many deliveries have you done in one week? >> it is in the thousands. it kind of exploded.
