that he will take a big pay cut himself. you will meet him. he is on the show today. hackers take control of an airliner and crash it. relax, everybody. we will debunk it. is taxation theft? varney and company is about to begin. ♪ >> guilty of murder in the first degree. stuart: all right. that was the verdict less than an hour ago. doug burns is here. the sentence for that is

mandatory -- >> life in prison without the possibility of parole. by the way and indictments against him for two other murders. they were supposed to follow on the heels of this. stuart: will he be sentenced to any other time behind bars? >> there was a conviction for weapons possession, ammunition and those sentences will be piled on top. concurrent means they run together. the reason the judge may make a consecutive is because of the other insight that. at the same time, you have the victims families. they want justice. stuart: that young man going to

prison for the rest of his life. he is 25 years of age. >> it is a tragic case for everyone. of course, you know, a great athlete. stuart: no murder weapon was found. >> circumstantial evidence is as strong as other evidence. with no evidence, no eyewitness it is harder. there was a big dustup over the dna on chewing gum which was on the showcasing of the bullet. everyone is saying that that does not mean anything. it does say a lot. when you start piecing

everything together, you know, i do not want to be cornered, but i am a fan of jerry's that conscientiously do their work. stuart: including extreme atrocity. the sentencing momentarily will be life in prison without parole. that is it. >> mario draghi. interrupted by a protester at a news conference this morning. look at this. [inaudible] stuart: okay. take a look at the video again. she was saying and europe's tank dictatorship.

he said nothing that would move the market. yes. it is april 15. tax day. libertarians. judge andrew napolitano calls taxation theft. do you agree with the judge? we will ask everybody. look who is here. mary kissel. his taxation theft? >> no. raising our tax rates to some of the highest in the world. >> there is nothing in the constitution that says the government can come and take my money. >> i do not like our tax rates. i do not think we need tax rates

right now. is it theft? >> no. we can vote somebody into office if we want to do that. taking away the income tax. what we really need is a low flat tax. >> mary kissel says, no, it is not theft. this is a classic case today of that economic news being good for the market. a couple of other smaller scale indicators. of those that dow. we will have zero interest rates as far as the eye can see. look at loyola. $55 a barrel. this up tick in the price of crude may have something to do with tensions.

the price of oil is up today. $55 a barrel. and then we have intel. it will cut costs. investors love that. up she goes. now look at google. acting like a monopoly in europe. hold on a second. europeans are way behind in technology. they resent america's success. they go after google. >> how do we reduce the burdens on business. how do we reduce our that. think of all the good that they could do. >> i do not think that they are a monopolist. >> no.

of course not. they are serving google's competitors. they have plenty of choice. you do not use google for everything. this case is absolutely absurd. >> a our thinking into obscurities. president obama says he will sign a bill that will give congress some oversight on this deal. russia will indeed sell missiles to iran. lieutenant general has some very strong comments about iran relating to those souls on this program yesterday. >> if he releases those

missiles then i see no other option but the israelis must attack. by the way they may have to use their tax accrual nuclear weapons. should they consider nuclear weapons. when they qualified that, if israel faces a crisis down the road and iran has a nuclear weapons and an attack was imminent israel would use nuclear weapons to stop iran. we are not there yet.

he had been planning to sell before and then he froze the sale. it is a problem on two counts. it certainly makes it much more dangerous for our flyers for israel he pilots. there is another issue. if he takes the middling model that missiles deployed along the coastline. seven-12 systems. that can't command the air system of 90%. we operate in the persian gulf, carriers. they are are really key issues. i would expect that israel might do what it did in serious to prevent syria several years

back. hit them with airstrikes. the problem is iran is further away. you have to cross saudi arabia. not sure about the air defenses. there will not be a nuclear explosion in the near-term. >> okay. president obama will remove cuba from the list of state-sponsored terrorism. will he give them back wonton amo bay? >> that is some data i have been arguing for. first of all, i am not wired up. it is not going to happen. half a dozen years ago they would have been in arms about this. this administration has allowed and in that it so many crises.

cubans are just way way down on the list. it will not be smooth sailing that obama thinks. stuart: i have 10 seconds left. is taxation theft? >> no. i think that our taxes are too high. my contribution. that is my contribution to the well-being and security of the united states of america. >> not only is ralph peters one of the most historical novelist, he is also a fine american. i give you ralph peters. >> you can lower than. that is all right.

stuart: taxation. flat out theft. we will let the judge loose on this one and just a couple of seconds. is college worth it? numbers to suggest why it is not deep. we will have the numbers for you next. ♪

♪ edward jones. this is shirley speaking. how may i help you? ♪ oh hey, neill, how are you? how was the trip? with nearly 7 million investors he's right here. hold on one sec. you'd expect us to have a highly skilled call center. kevin, neill holley's on line one. ok, great. and we do. it's how edward jones makes sense of investing.

stuart: and modest rally on some week i can now make news. look at saint of america. high profits. revenue down. the stock is dead flat.

target the nearing settlement. my how times change. elon musk. he did not land that spacex rocket like he wanted to. >> good news and that news for spacex. its latest attempt to land the south rocket, it failed. close, but no cigar. yes, the company will try again. meanwhile, southwest is taking it seats wider. economy seats get seven tenths of an inch wider.

not even a whole inch. that is actually at least half an inch wider than competitors. meet this guy. dan price. he is taking a 900 dirty thousand dollar pay cut in order to raise the minimum wage at his company to $70,000. stuart you will talk to dan. dan price. 12:15 p.m. he is coming up on the show. did you notice on that audiotape aired that almost every guy in the room had a beard. >> it is a seattle thing i guess. stuart: he is a nice guy. >> he snowboards. he is in a rock band. i am not stalking him.

stuart: the student loan problem is worse than you think. at least a month behind payments. why are one in three students with a long, why are they going to link went? >> really good question. they have a difficult time managing money. the federal government federal student loan system is to blame. it allows people to borrow more than they can repay. the official number is actually seven teen percent. at least a month late on their payments. the calculations by 231.5%. the trend has leveled off recently. not as problematic as it seems.

more loans are in group a man. essentially, it means you are people are in deferment or forbearance. stuart: smoke in the years and lies and statistics. >> that could be a campaign issue. >> she will have two run on giving you things. sure stuart. she could run as a populist. to her the country. >> it was funny. a new development in the hillary e-mail scandal.

she ate ordered a letter from congress. >> i opted for convenience. it was allowed by the state department. i thought that it would be easier to carry just one device. >> out what point does it make

new york state is reinventing how we do business by leading the way on tax cuts. we cut the rates on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. with startup-ny, qualified businesses that start, expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years. all to grow our economy and create jobs. see how new york can give your business the opportunity to grow at ny.gov/business

stuart: waiting for the sentence thing of aaron hernandez. at the moment, odin lloyd the guy that was murdered, his mother has just spoken. when the news comes down about the sentencing we will bring it to you. mandatory -- >> the judge has no discretion. that is why the sentencing is immediate. there is no death penalty. life without parole. no exceptions. stuart: there is no question about it.

we have been noting you all day long on this. we will ask you again. is taxation theft? >> the only truly moral taxation is one that is voluntary. you are at home one night. there is a guy with a gun. the guy says, give me your money. you gasp. you call the police. you find out that this guy works for the government. what is the difference? stuart: 100 years 102 years and attempts to go to the supreme

court and say that it is fast. >> it is part of the constitution. you are asked in need if it is moral. can the government take something from you against your will? that is a moral argument. stuart: i thought that it was unconstitutional. >> and income tax that was declared unconstitutional. stuart: taxation is theft on a moral basis. >> i think that you would probably agree with that.

hillary clinton ignores a letter from congress. have you got an e-mail account. she does not respond. i say that by not responding she avoided a lie. >> she knew exactly what she had. she knew how wrong it was. she knew how it would be perceived. she remains silent. that was the infamous grand jury review. she either did not answer or said she did not remember. it is her mo. >> we have clean hillary. >> oh, i forgot. she has been crowned already.

[laughter] >> unlawful in new york and new jersey. >> every day people. of course. [laughter] >> she knew exactly what she was doing. she also knew she only had a few more weeks in office the president of iran does not want congress involved in any nuclear deal. we will ask about that coming up. >> if israel faces to existential crisis years down the road where iran had nuclear-weapons and the means to deliver them and an attack was imminent israel would as a last resort use nuclear weapons to stop iran. we are not there yet.

stuart: let's go to capitol hill, senator corey gardner is with us republican from colorado. you remember the senate foreign relations committee, we have been looking at so has the wall street journal this bill's that the president has gone along with giving you some oversight

over this deal with iran. but the wall street journal says president obama after 52 days can, without reference to congress, at ease and get rid of these sanctions. that sounds like a huge hole in the legislation you just passed. >> this legislation allows us to have a seat at the table where we did not for the first time there's a separate timeline a separate 60 daytime line that began some limited but this legislation assures the president can simply waive sanctions on his own. gives us the ability to weigh in. >> this assures we have a seat at the table to approve the deal. the timeline is complicated but it gives us a seat at the table we never had without the legislation. stuart: you had to go that far to get democrats on board with this bill. you had to go that far. that is a long way to go to get

a little bit of oversight. >> it took out some language i hoped would be put back into dealing with terrorist activities funding of terrorist activities against americans by the iranian government and i hope that is put into place. i voted for that in committe bu u saw years is we were able to push back and peeled back to the presidential overreach you have seen from this white house. stuart: i understand you pushed it back a little bit. but the president can still -- pecan say of hey, this is the deal and the ultimately this is the deal we are going to get. >> the president has veto power so the president can always be to legislation forcing us to have 67 votes and that has been the question all along, will we have the votes necessary to move this to the floor and get it out of the senate which would require 60 votes but also

does veto this bill and if he were to veto a resolution of disapproval that we were to put forward is a bad deal. the goal of the corporate legislation is to assure a good deal to make sure iran never secures a nuclear bomb. i think we ought to make sure we go further on other political restraints the regime is acting for crew yemen hezbollah and others but we have a ways to go now. stuart: mary kissel from the wall street journal editorial board has a question. >> this is a major nuclear treaty. it should be a treaty. the gop-controlled senate. why aren't you passing a bill saying to president obama this should be a treaty, what you're doing goes against decades of arms control agreements? why don't you put him in that corner? why water down this bill so much? >> there have been discussions whether this is a form of a tree we had discussions with senator johnson and others who brought federal codes to talk

about the merits of the treaty. that is something we have to go back and look at to make sure we understand when things become treaties or if they're just an executive agreement that requires no involvement by the u.s. congress or limited involvement but again this presents an opportunity for this body to put before the president our recommendation on a deal that is bad or good for the american people and hope it is good but it is headed in a direction many of us have problems with that we didn't have a seat at the table for. stuart: senator gardner thank you for joining us on an important issue. appreciate it. have a lot numbers for you. $181 billion. that is how much taxpayers like you spend for year to comply with irs rules and regulations. the american action forum joins us from washington. i am a little skeptical of these

big numbers that say these rules and regulations cost you 180 one billion dollars. what goes into is that $181 billion? >> a lot of these are from the irs. the irs reports from. the department of treasury estimates roughly 7.3 billion hours of paperwork to comply with the department of treasury regulations and it is a measure of how to monetize the time americans spend filling out the paperwork. stuart: it sounds, 1 new one billion dollars to comply -- i hear these numbers battered around all over the place, they're kind of meaningless. >> from some perspective the irs alone estimates individual income-tax is roughly $33 billion just to comply with that and that is from the irs -- don: what is compliance? what is this compliance business

that i have to go to a tax preparer? that cost is involved? the time it takes to prepare my return? cost involved in that? >> it is mostly the cost of tax preparation but there is also the time, the value of the component. if you put the individual income-tax in perspective 300,000 years worth of time we spend filling out the individual income tax. stuart: when you come down to the tax code is ridiculously contemplated, 70,000 pages, nobody understands that what we need is tax simplification. i think that is your position, isn't it? >> you'll get no argument from me on tax simplification. there are 200 forms alone involved in the individual income-tax and you are right. i know very few people who proclaimed to understand it. stuart: what is in now? 50%?

60% of people have to go pay for a tax preparer? is that it? >> i think those figures are good. just last night i had to pay $140 for a tax preparer to do my own taxes. stuart: thank you very much for joining us. i got to break away real fast because the air and hernandez sentences offical. we knew what it was going to be because it is mandatory and the sentence is life in prison without parole. an hour ago the jury returned its verdict, we heard the verdict read out by the jury members. the first two counts were of particular significance. gerry fernandez is guilty of first-degree murder and with extreme atrocity and the jury said guilty. that is why he has been sentenced immediately because the judge has no discretion on this. is an immediate sentence ended has been handed down life in prison without parole for that young man. much more on this throughout the program. we are back in a moment. every day, our teams collaborate around the world

"imus in the morning" when it happened moments ago. aaron hernandez, the young man you see there, sentenced to life in prison without parole that was a mandatory sentence for the first degree murder for which he was found guilty. the verdict came down an hour ago the sentencing minutes ago. a new report from the general accounting office says commercial airlines to be hacked in flight using the plane's wi-fi entertainment system. tom sullivan is with us. you are an accomplished pilot you know what you're talking about. the fear is the scare story of the day, i am flying along in the airplane somebody down there gets control of the wi-fi and crashes the plane. is that a scare story or are you going to debunk it? >> totally debunk it. i have talked to my son who is an airline pilot talk to a number of other pilots. my experience with airplanes.

the worst thing that could happen is if you get somebody on board and they use the entertainment system to somehow the worst thing they could do with change your channel. yes they could. they could change your channel. stuart: wi-fi related to the entertainment system, not the computer operations of the plane. >> computer operations of the plane are multiple computers and with triple redundancy and if somebody got hold of the entertainment system got one of the circuit breakers that there you can pull which dumps that rack and everybody would lose their television but you can still fly the plane and if somehow you were able which nobody can figure out how they would get into the flight instruments, the engines are separate from all of that anyway. i think with this is about that is the headline wi-fi they why jack an airplane. the concern is this is where

the government needs to do the work, the aircraft--air-traffic control centers, whether someone can hack into them so the controllers would not have the information about where the planes were and even with that, in the airplanes there is anti-pollution devices that says there is another airplane three miles over there, 5000 feet above the. they would avoid them, they would fly themselves around one of the problem was. the one tom sullivan says relax not going to happen. >> they might change your channel. stuart: glad to have you with us to set us straight. some news on chipotle. they are getting backlash from people who say they're calory labels are a lot. for example 400 calories gets you a breed of but that is only the 40 and beans. that is it. if you want the good ingredients is closer to 1100 calories.

the fda is going after kind bars saying they are not considered healthy because of their high levels of saturated fat. kind has responded telling us it is because of the nets which contain nutrition facts that exceed the amount allowed under the fda. you got all this? the easiest way to avoid confusion with what is healthy and what is not, eat at home says the founder of professional integrity. she joins us now. welcome back to the program. we have had one before. if you are telling people for good nutrition eat at home because you control the ingredients i understand that and it is a fair point but you are fighting an uphill battle, you are fighting against the tide. everybody and his brother is eating out these days whenever possible. >> you make a good point. in 1970, 26% of food expenditures were spent outside

the home. manufacturers for that, when includes the fact that restaurants are everywhere and so convenient. although you are right that i am fighting an uphill battle it is an important battle to fight. stuart: your point is we should be more nutritionally conscious and we should eat more fresh fruits, vegetables protein. that is your message and when you're trying to do is tell people how to do that in the easiest possible fashion. >> the easiest way is how to cook at home. last year brazil released dietary guidelines and one of the guidelines which is a new one is telling people, eat more home cooked meals because when you are eating at home you are usually eating healthier ingredients but you are not pouring so much oil on your food, won't be adding a lot of sodium. that is important for people to become more familiar in their

kitchens. stuart: is there any one restaurant chain that stands out above all the rest for cooking good food on the premises that you approve of? >> chipotle is not necessarily bad. i eat there myself but the issue is the frequency with which people are eating out. that is why i say if you are only eating out one time only quote once every 10 days it doesn't matter what you are eating as long as the bulk of your meals are healthy and home cooked. stuart: i have the restaurant association of america on my line. you are not too popular. you make an interesting point but i think u.s. winning against the tide. come and see us again appreciate you being with us. next a feel-good store, restaurant owner notices a homeless person eating out of her restaurant's trash. she put a sign in the window offering that person free meals. is a good story. the full story is next. om the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day...

stuart: aaron hernandez guilty of all charges including first-degree murder, life in prison without parole. our nfl insider joins us about this story. is this a black eye for the nfl? we will ask the question. if the president of iran doesn't want congress involved in the nuke deal it must be a good idea for congress to be involved. judy miller weighs in on that. hillary tour rolls on and off and then on media fawning. look at that. what are they all rushing for? chris christie offering a plan

reading every national newscast will be one of their star players involved with such a crime but as we learned time and again the nfl rules on. it is a profitable business the most popular sport in america. by the time the nfl draft rules around in 16 days no one will be talking about aaron hernandez they will talk about football and whether the team is set for the symbol. stuart: he was a promising player tight end for the patriots he was on the roster for the superbowl games i think he was a very promising player but now the rest of his life in prison. >> had already signed a seven year $49 million contract earlier that year and believable talent on the football field one of the most valuable players, they did play in the 2011 super bowl, lost to the new york giants and is all gone. he is in jail no sympathy for this young man. she had it all. the world was given to him had

everything in his hands. stuart: i don't know if you know the details of his contract or contractual obligations but you are talking about a seven your contract that he signed for $49 million in total. does he get any of that money? >> he got his bonus money but once in the nfl you don't have a guaranteed contract. unlike baseball or basketball there is no guaranteed contract. once your signing bonus is given to you. he gets a little bit up front but once he was arrested, the day after is that, the new england patriots cut him from 13. without being found guilty, they work cut from the team altogether. he got a guaranteed money upfront. stuart: thanks very much for joining us. check the big board very modest rally. we were doing better than this an hour ago but still up 62 points, 18,100. bank of america higher profits

because their legal bills are down. but their revenue is down. not good so they are off $0.14. google facing an antitrust fight in europe. the europeans say you guys dominated and messed around with your monopoly position but it is only down 50% on $539 stock. not much of a pull back. lookit avon. remember then? your mom's generation. they are considering a sale of some or all of their operations. maybe that is a sign of the times. below $9 a share. the price of oil has gone straight up today, we're $2.31 at $50 a barrel, have not seen that level in a while and the price of gasoline heading back up again. there goes my prediction of a plunge. $2.39 is the national average. where is the cheapest gas in the land? $1.75 in south carolina.

let's talk hillary. every day we cover how to the media is fawning over here. today this video. reporters running, dozens of them running after the van. as it arrives in iowa. what is the rush? don't know. look at what in bc.' chk oddtweteout, so hard in this new media age to do anything that looks spontaneous in the political world. this hillary road trip by the has done just that. he was serious. kennedy is with us. you can crack a smile can't you? >> when i look at chuck todd's facial hair i just -- i have given up on men. stuart: i don't think this campaign the bus for has got not too good start. nobody recognized in jacobi. it is just an suv.

>> is recycled from her 2000 senate campaign. chuck todd did so little research. this is one of the headlines that has been percolating throh t e st few ago because she is such a real person, one of the people. stuart: that is a difficult road. she is a very wealthy woman she makes a speeches for a quarter million dollars a pop but she wants to be one of the people. that is a difficult thing to do law. >> she makes more in an hour speaking than most people make in five years and it is kind of shocking. she is so out of touch. ideas are outdated and that was one of the best lines of marco rubio's speech yesterday from yesterday yesterday's ideas with respect to yesterday and he is absolutely wright. stuart: she walked hillary clinton walked into that jacoby ordered the burrito, nobody noticed her and she left.

if bill clinton had done that he would have taken over is that shop for a couple hours. he would still be there. half the people in there he would talk to every single person, he's a brilliant politician in that way and hillary is not. >> perhaps geneticists will figure this out over the next few decades. there might be something in your dna that makes you a politician because he sparkles like a pixie wherever he goes regardless whether you despise his ideology. heat so definitely wants to be liked and to touch people. stuart: the magic touch. he has got it she doesn't. >> seeing the contras even between him and obama at the 2012 convention it was 3 stock. stuart: obama doesn't have it. >> people say he is a masterful politician. he can put a speech together on it teleprompter but he doesn't have the personal magnetism. stuart: when it is important

presidential politics. can you name republican who has the magic touch politically? >> ronald reagan. that is why everyone is trying to channel reagan. they want to get back to that visceral thing that voters connect with. it can't be taught and people are desperate for if they can find it and bottle it someone will be a trillion air. "imus in the morning" when you have the magic touch and i will watch your show at what time? >> 7:00 p.m. eastern. >> the name of the show is kennedy. you have the magic touch. all right a kennedy, see you soon, appreciate it. the president of iran does not want congress involved in the new deal. that must be a good idea for congress to get involved. judy miller is here. how strong is this deal to give congress an oversight? >> there was such a consensus about the need for oversight. the president who said he would never accept anything like this

was forced to say we got them to change the terms now it is going to be okay, i can live with this but this is not good news for the president, not good news for the deal. stuart: the wall street journal says if you look within the deal the congressional deal the president after 52 days can still say we are easing off, dropping all the sanctions. doesn't have to refer to congress. can do that under the terms of this bill that was passed. that is a mile wide hole in the sanctions deal. >> yes and let him try it with the congress against him and the democrats against him and hillary clinton wanting to be president of the united states. i think this is a really difficult position for the president and -- stuart: you have the other side of the coin to me. this is a very weak congressional oversight deal. you are saying it actually puts the president in a difficult

position. >> it is pretty much unprecedented have your own party desert you on any issue of executive prerogatives. normally when you are negotiating treaties congress has not got involved. this is an extraordinary step no matter how they try to put lipstick on a paid. stuart: i got to raise another interesting angle with you if i may. on this program yesterday lieutenant-general tom mack and one had some very strong comments on iran. roll tape for a second. >> if vladimir putin fact because he has a problem with the u.s. and nato and the ukraine and crimea if he releases those missiles then i see no other option but the israelis must attack. by the way they may have to use their tactical nuclear weapons. stuart: okay, okay, two issues there. he says may have to use tactical nuclear weapons and use a? >> i respectfully disagree. israel has said many times that it will not be the first nation

to use nuclear weapons in the middle east. stuart: how about his other statement that israel may have to attack because of the delivery of these anti-aircraft missiles from russia? >> i don't believe that is what the israelis are saying. if you look at what they have been saying to date you have benjamin netanyahu's call saying please don't do this. is not helpful. you have many warnings that they are not saying they would have to attack. stuart: but tactically. he makes a good point. these missiles are deal breaker. you can impose sanctions, you have no sanctions on iran if you can't attack them. >> it is another indication that the deal is in such trouble. if vladimir putin immediately does this it plays into the israeli argument that this is how the extra money iran gets from the sanctions has got to be spent. undermines what obama is trying to do. stuart: you think this is --

>> it is team really bad shape. i am going to wait and see what they come up with that this point is looking very bad. susan vladimir putin and the ayatollah. stuart: always a pleasure thank you very much. up next the ceo who is giving his workers a $70,000 minimum wage. is that a publicity stunt an act of kindness? he will make his own case himself next. >> effective immediately we put a policy into place to have bought minimum $70,000 wage.

be distracting from that passion that purpose for what you do so i am all about achieving the maximum amount but i want to remove those distractions and help people move forward. stuart: terrific idea. you are an extremely generous person and that is a fact you are. in make $1 million a year that you are taking a pick that down to $70,000 a year. >> correct. stuart: taking money from your profits and putting it into the big pot so everybody makes $70,000 minimum. >> i think this will be a great thing for the company. it will be agree are 0 i. people who don't think so are looking too short-term. stuart: return on investment to give something back for your generosity? >> absolutely and the way we look at it is trust and values. when you take care of people they take care of you. in the year-and-a-half ago we instituted unlimited vacation.

productivity went up. a time off didn't go. when you trust people they take care of you. stuart: you can do this without raising the price of your service. you don't think you lose any motivation because everybody is up at that level i they motivated to keep climbing the food chain? >> i thought about that. i don't want anyone stuck at my company because they can't afford to work somewhere else so that is what we have to work through. different problems and challenges, what we see is inequality is getting bigger and bigger. a lot of times people are proposing government solutions like in seattle we have a $15 an hour minimum wage and for me that is a sign of failure we didn't self regulate and self-government have we done things like this there would be no need. stuart: i don't approve of government rules saying you have got to pay this or that. i don't approve because that is government intervention the

queue in the same team as meet? >> i would like to think if we set up it won't be necessary. sometimes government has to intervene and regulate and sometimes they should. stuart: not everyone will do this. you are 30 years old. i don't know if you have responsibilities like family i don't know that but not everybody can take a pay cut from $1 million to $70,000. not everybody wants to take a big risk organizing a company work long hours and give it away. >> i should be paid market rates so i can be replaced if i can't work for some reason. i will get back up to it. that is not an issue. and loving to make that investment. this is a short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. stuart: it is your company. >> it is my decision and by appreciate your point how is nice for me to make this decision. a moral imperative of us as leaders to do the best we can

for everybody. if we take these problems seriously. less need for politics to be involved. stuart: i looked at the video tape, it is gone viral and split up the world with this thing. look at it. every one that i can see look at it. what is with that? >> we like the beards. trying to look good. it is that seattle thing brooklyn thing young people thing. i have to tell you the thing that will surprise you people are asking me with resumes i'm getting flooded from my clients and other independent businesses the purchase and because of these values. it is a little different spin. there is the competitive element to this which i think you will like.

stuart: was it a publicity stunt? >> and i thought we might get a bit of publicity. stuart: who wants to be the charge for egalitarianism. is that you? >> i'm not a leftist or a righty but what i do want to do is find a practical solution to solve the problem. if republicans or democrats or progressives or conservatives want to take credit so be it. let's fix the problem. i will be happy, don't care about the credit. stuart: i think what you have done is a terrific thing. you are very generous man. take my hat off to you. >> you will follow suit i heard. stuart: from who? name your source. stuart: some people i invite back and to the program but you are out of here. dan price everyone thanks for joining us. good for you. up next, a classic case of the government bamboozling the people.
