will give away $45 billion. extreme generosity or tax avoid dance dressed up as a charity. let's not be cynical. try this, does president obama know the true meaning of christmas? "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ >> all right. let's start with the latest quinnipiac poll. there you see. donald trump 27 and rubio moves into second place and carson and ted cruz tied for third, jeb bush fifth, but the new york times reports the g.o.p. is becoming panicked about trump getting the nomination. why don't we bring in art laffer. he's got a smile on his face. we like that to start the show. >> i love it. stuart: is the g.o.p. rightfully scared about donald trump? >> no, they're not. donald trump would be a fine

president if he gets nominated and elected. if he gets nominated, he will be elected. i remember all of these stories, stuart, about reagan. it's the exact deja deja vu al again. donald trump knows how to run things and be a great president. so would the others, cruz, and jeb bush, they're great candidates and forget about trying to control the lead because you're an establishment republican. we have no establishment republicans supporting us in 1980 until we beat bush and then they came and join us. stuart: and you are not an establishment republican. are you? >> i hope i am, i'd like be an establishment republican, but i guess i loved reagan and i guess maybe established. but we had the california crowd back then. if you remember, darden, holmes, bill wilson, all of those guys, they ran the campaign, they got it going and we beat bush and then came and

joined us, that's fine. i love the establishment republicans, they've done a great job and are wonderful, but donald trump is not our enemy. donald trump is a wonderful candidate. stuart: there you have it. there you have it, first thing on a weapons morning, art laffer peace maker from tennessee. excellent, art, woo stay there, we've got more for you. stuart: liz. >> not so sure i'd give the same answer. the issue for establishment republicans, there are other candidates who, when facing off against hillary clinton in a pretend face-off now, do much better than donald trump. he loses quite often. marco rubio always wins. i think that's why people are looking at this as a race that they'd like to see-- >> look at this, move onto the democrat side of the same poll, the quinnipiac pole, 60% don't believe she's honest. ashley: because she dodges the questions about policy and her

parsed action and doesn't care about the vote. that's coming through as well. i'm surprising it's only 60% after the e-mails and the thousand classified e-mails apparently there was not supposed to be one. stuart: and wow, spends a couple of weeks in paris and-- . [laughter] >> i have to move on. so much to pack in the show. look at dow futures, please. i've got to tell you, one good rally, because 112 points up will put us at 18,000. by the way, janet yellen speaks about lunchtime today. and the pundits say she will stick with a rate like this month. okay. dow is going to be down a few points at the open. how about the price of oil? we could see some big movement here today. inventory numbers coming out in the next hour. depending on those numbers, you know, you could see the $40 per barrel level challenged today. not making a forecast, but

watch out. gas, $2.03 per gallon, the national average. it didn't budge overnight, we're stalled, apparently on the road to a buck 99 and i hope we'll get there. and individual companies and stocks, yahoo! crunch time for them. there are several reports that say yahoo! is considering a sale of its core internet business. all right, ashley, if they sell the core internet business, what are they? >> that's a good question, what are they? i think the fact that we're having this discussion shows that marissa mayer is not done, but huge concerns about what she's done. she's entering the fourth year. it should be pointed out that yahoo! mail and news is the most visited on the web. 210 visitors in october, but they're not just jumping on that opportunity and hasn't taken off. she hasn't made it what it

should and could be. stuart: the value on the stock is made up of other companies that yahoo! bought into. it's not the core. ashley: given the fact they wouldn't allow the spin-off of alibaba and yahoo! japan and gave any-- that's fully taxed. that final, with the final nail in the coffin, to be honest, for marissa mayer. >> it's like obama with isis, there's no clear strategy. i think that people want the direction. stuart: that was good. >> i had to get back. stuart: having been in paris for a week. how about this one, facebook's mark zuckerberg commemorating the birth of his daughter with a big pledge. an open letter he addressed to his daughter nicknamed max. he says, today your mother and i are committing to spend our lives doing our smart part to help solve these challenges. we will give 99% of our facebook shares, currently about 45 billion, during our lives to advance this mission. liz, i want to know what was

your first reaction, very first raesh raeshgs-- reaction when you heard what he was doing. >> surprised at this age someone would take this step. usually it's an older person for their legacy. clearly, postpartum joy, they're parents for the first time and thinking, wow, this is an amazing change in our life and the world and we all had that, remember? . many times over. >> exactly. stuart: where is art laffer, by the way. >> it's clear he wants to have some influence over that money and how it's spent for rest of his life. by setting it up in this way, he'll be able to do that. it's an interesting idea. stuart: art laffer is with us. do you think i'm just a sin nick if i were to say that zuckerberg's gift is essentially tax avoidance dressed up as a humanitarian measure. >> you're completely right. he's giving away $20 billion

worth of tax revenues given that he's a california resident and that just isn't what people should force the government to do. i think he should-- i don't think they should allow to have anyone have these deductions on the tax code. if that's your right to do, don't give away your tax money. that belongs to the federal government and you shouldn't be able to give that away without any-- >> whoa, whoa, are you art laffer? what happened to you? it's not your money? it's the government's money? it should rightfully go to the government? what are you saying? >> well, you know, i'm saying that i think the income tax exists, i think it's legal, i think it's correct. i think that, taxes are owed the government by the citizenry. that's what you need, the price you pay for a civilized society. i agree with that. i think the rates should be lower and i don't think there should be deductions like this. it's not a good deduction when

warren buffett gives away $2 billion to the bill and melinda gates foundation. he's using that action taxes. and he explicitly said you've got to return my money if the tax law changes. that's what they're doing and exact the way they're doing it and we're losing revenues on the money they made. this guy has done a great job, a great company. made a lot of money and god bless him for doing that, but let him give away his own money. >> that was a laffer curve ball. stuart: that's a laffer curve ball. >> we should have a flat tax, one rate across the board. no exemptions, you pay a percentage of your income and that's it. stuart: and around the table, if you've touched a nerve, we've got you on videotape. >> i'm 75 years old, so don't hold your breath. stuart: art laffer, thank you very much indeed. all good. and try this one, the richest contract for a major league

pitcher, ever. jo ling kent has the number. jo: stuart, how would you like make 217 million for throwing a baseball. stuart: how do you know i don't? >> that's how much the pitcher the red sox, david price is getting in his deal with the red sox. the left-hander is getting the most ever for a major league pitcher and the biggest contract in red sox history. and e. coli has spread from chipotle to costco potentially affecting starbucks, wal-mart, safeway and 7-eleven. it's from taylor farms specific and recalled, as you know. the e. coli in this celery is more dangerous because it can lead to kidney failure. 19 people have contracted e. coli in seven states so far. rambo may be coming to a tv near you soon. accordi

according, fox is developing it with sylvester stallone and explore the relationship between rambo and his son, jr, who is a navy seal. stuart: an armed or dangerous person spotted on or near the university campus at chapel hill. have you got more. ashley: the siren sounded and a report, an armed or dangerous person on or near the campus. students are told to go inside and close doors, stay there. that's all we have at this hour. stuart: thank you very much. now to the fight against isis, president obama says that isis is contained, but his top military advisor disagrees with him. we'll deal with that next.

>> from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them.

they have not gained ground in iraq. stuart: that was november 13th. we have contained isis. that was the president speaking right before the paris attacks. now the joint chief's chair says isis is not contained. roll that tape. >> we are technically not at war. >> if we're not effectively at war, we said we currently contained isil? >> we have not contained isil. >> have they been contained at anytime since 2010? >> technically they have abouten strategicically they've spread since 2010. stuart: joining us is a republican from alabama. who is running the show? that's a district contradiction between the president, commander-in-chief, and the top military guy. >> before we get started, who is that guy masquerading as art laffer.

stuart: i was shocked when he said. who is in charge? >> technically the commander-in-chief is in charge. whether he listens to the secretary of defense or the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that's for the president to decide. ultimately the buck stops at his desk and he makes those types of decision. stuart: we're reporting now 250 special ops forces, troops are on their way over there. that's boots on the ground. those are guys who are going to be there on the ground. what is going on here? >> well, apparently, the president of the united states is starting to recognize the threat that the islamic state has, not only for the middle east or with boca haram, one of its subdivisions if you want to call it in africa, and we've seen out reach to paris and islamic state's abilities to recrete -- recruit here in the united

states of america. hopefully the president is recognizing this and acting accordingly. stuart: and ted cruz, and the quinnipiac poll shows donald trump 10 points ahead of marco rubio, cruz is there and has 16%. there's some talk that establishment republicans, i don't know whether you're in this camp or not, are panicking at trump's big lead. what do you say? >> i'm not panicking, i think that donald trump is playing a significant and positive role in this process. the establishment candidates are frankly, rubio, kasich, jeb bush, they're fighting over 20 to 30% of the vote and-- ted cruz is not established guy. stuart: why? >> why? because the positions he's taken that clearly delineate that he's different than the leadership of the house, the

leadership of the senate, and the leadership of the republican national committee. ted cruz is fighting those things that are opposite of what the people of measured america want. even though he's in the united states senate he's clearly established himself as not being an establishment candidate. stuart: okay, republican from alabama. thanks so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. stuart: do you remember this guy? i'll show you his picture. he's been on this show and raised the minimum wage for $70,000 for all of his employees. the mainstream media loved it. turns out he may have done it to avoid a lawsuit. general tom mcnerney say he doesn't have the strategy. >> thises a man who lives in his own world, a fantasy world what he wishes it were, when

you point out the facts to him he gets petulant and snarky and yells a the someone like me, all i want is for the syrian refugees to be vetted. and the fbi says they can't be vetted. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet? that's a good thing, eligible for medicare? but it doesn't cover everything. only about 80% of your part b medical expenses.

virtually in panic mode. joining us mia love, congresswoman welcome to the program, where have you been? >> congratulations to you, becoming a u.s. citizen, that's exciting and i'm so proud. stuart: thank you, i appreciate that, thank you. are you in panic mode because trump is pulling ahead? >> no, i'm not in panic mode. i don't think that anybody should panic. the g.o.p. field has something for everyone. they offer something for everyone. i'm not surprised that marco is starting to move up. everyone who hears him, hears his positive agenda and knows he's strong on national defense, exactly what we need and strong on his economic policies, also. things are moving where they need to be moving. stuart: i was reading "the washington post" this morning, and dana milbank on the left, a prominent op-ed opinion writer and he says that trump is a racist. that's what he said, he said it

right like that. what's your reaction to that? >> hear is my reaction, it's time for americans to stop dividing each other. i'm so tired of this divisive language. i consider myself first and foremost a mother, a wife, a u.s. citizen, a utahan. that's how i label myself. it's time for us to come together as americans and do what we can to make sure we help every single one of us from all walks of life and races. stuart: maybe trump is pulling us apart, some of the his comments about mexicans and women. they are not inclusive. they're divisive. >> look at trustworthy polls. these are things that americans fear. they're looking at some of the divisive language and saying, i just don't trust this person. it's time for us to have a leader that's going to unite us as americans. you know, we have lived under these terrible negative policies for the past seven

years. liberals give all americans, especially the poorest among them exactly what they need to stay exactly where they are. where our policies lift people and give people the opportunity to get as much as they want. so, this is the type of language we need to start talking about. we need to have a positive agenda moving forward and that's the candidate i'm looking for, someone who wants to help all americans, all of americans from all walks of life and i, again, this is the reason why you're seeing the polls leaning where they are. you've got this untrustworthiness which i think should be a concern. stuart: you look like you're having a real good time in congress. [laughter] a smile on your face and positive. always enjoying yourself, aren't you? >> i love the policy portion of it. i hate the politics. i, again, i am here because i'm doing everything i can to make sure that i leave my children and all other american children the strongest america that i possibly can.

it's not always fun here. it's a lot of -- it's a lot of hard work. i love my home a lot better. you know, people in utah are a lot more pleasant than they are in d.c. [laughter] >> there's a slam. >> i'm sorry, it's true. i love utah and not going to shy an i way from it. people are ornery here for a good reason. stuart: you can come on this program anytime you like, mia. we love having you, that's a fact. mia love, republican utah, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: now this, the quinnipiac poll on hillary's trustworthiness, listen to this, 60% do not think of hillary as honest and/or trustworthy. i was going to ask mia that question, i think she's gone and left us, but that's quite a number there. 60%. look who is with me, steve forbes is with me and he's going to comment spur of the moment.

60% untrustworthy, that's a big number, isn't it? >> it is and on the democratic side they had a real contest if somebody like biden stepped up, that would have been a tough fight for her, especially in the early states. bernie sanders imploded in that first debate and has been scrambling since, but that high negative shows that one, there's a if a democrat renegade wants to get in. two, for a possible third party and three, shows republicans they nominate a presentable candidate they're going to wind by a landslide. stuart: o, careful. >> and you can vote now. >> see this. >> write checks to canada. >> i don't do that. you said the time for a ren gait -- renegade candidate could step up who would that be? >> on, maybe john kerry or al

gore, they have to make up their minds. there's a vacuum there, okay. stuart: hold on for a second, i want to ask you about mark zuckerberg in a moment. let me take care of other business first. prep yourself for some, okay? check the big board, please. this is ted-- dead flat. this puts us 219 from 18k. everybody is going to read the tea leaves to see whether we'll get a rate hike or not. frankly, i don't know how the stock market would react to a rate hike. it could go up? liz: the jobs report and-- >> maybe janet yellen knows something about that. put me back with the alphabet.

it reached 791, okay? big tech is really doing well. talking of which, look at this, amazon, that has just hit an all-time high, $681 a share, it's up $2 today. i heard, who was it mike murphy. ashley: 850. stuart: talk about 850 for amazon. ashley: and then he said a thousand after that liz: that's neck and neck with apple. we don't know, it's coming at half a trillion. stuart: for amazon and for apple. how about netflix? i believe i saw that go by, new high, 129.50. up another 4 bucks today. big tech is making big gains. and that's a fact. how about the price of oil? this is important. right now it's about 41 # a barrel. in 20 minutes we'll get the news of how much oil we have in storage, in other words, how

much oil supply there? if there's a big increase in supply, you could see oil below $40 a barrel. that's not a prediction on my part, it depends on numbers at 10:30, but that is a possibility. how about the price of gas? it was plunging. it's not anymore. it's stalled on the downside. i'm very sorry to say that, 2.03 as the national average and there's no change from yesterday. how about yahoo!. the wall street journal reports the company may be selling off its core internet business liz: basically yahoo!'s stake in alibaba and yahoo! japan is equal to yahoo!'s market calm. -- market cap. it's not worth much of anything. this is a relative of the dot-com era. everybody would come to one site for everything and it's blown up by social media and that's been blown up by apps. so, marissa mayer has whether

or not she can sell it. she want today merge it with aol and verizon. the question, who would buy yahoo!'s internet business, could it be a private equity shop? we've got carl icon and an activist investor. ashley: m of the went absolutely nowhere liz: she's probably right to move now, to sell it. stuart: i'm interested that you call it a relic. since when has any internet company has been a relic liz: this is like the sewing machine of internet. ashley: rotary phone. stuart: facebook chief mark zugger berg, they celebrate the birth of his daughter by writing an open letter. today, your mother and i are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges. we will give 99% of our facebook shares, currently

about $45 billion worth, during our lives to advance this mission. the aforementioned steve forbes is now going to pass judgments on this. is it tax avoidance dressed up as a humanitarian measure. >> i think it's emotions having the first baby and looking into the future. stuart: really? fascinating, really? >> he's a young man and has a whole lifetime ahead of him. he's hit it as hard as anyone does in the world and what do you want to do next? andrew carnegie waited until he was retired to give away money. and bill gates retired fairly early and why not? he has to figure out what kind of model. one of the things that warren buffett did, pledged any money he gave away or let's say gives 10 # billion or something, has to be spent within a certain period of time. he does not want bureaucracy feeding off what he's going to give.

stuart: you approve of it? >> sure, that's what america is about. free markets are about serving needs and wants of others. philanthropy is about serving the needs and wants of others, and that's why some are entrepreneurs. stuart: we had art laffer on the show this morning and surprised everybody by saying, some of that money, some of that $45 billion, that's the government's money. it should be paid in tax to the government. that was art laffer saying that. >> christmas spirit. [laughter] >> you're friend of his. no problem whatsoever? >> why not? >> and other rich people, what's wrong with you, you've got a few hundred million, why can't you give it away. >> warren buffett and bill gates have been doing this pledge not just the united states, but a pledge to give away half of your assets during your lifetime or in your will when you leave this world.

so, why not? >> i want to ask you, steve forbes, did they come to you and say give. >> i said i'd love to, but look at the forbes 400. i still haven't made it yet. stuart: steve forbes, good man.

the dow and however, there are big gains to some of the biggest technology companies, look at that. google, amazon, netflix, all of them at all-time record highs. amazon at 682 and that's been on a tear and it has been. there's lower profits and lower sales for restaurant chain bob evans farm. and there's a drug developer that says a secretary patient died in a late stage trial of its experimental obesity drug. the to being is it down 60% and that's a new low there. there's a great holiday weekend for gun sellers. jo ling kent has the numbers in case you missed it. jo: it's a big black friday. more americans had background checks for gun owners this black friday than any other day on record according to the fbi. the national system processed more than 185,000 requests on friday. meanwhile, we're taking a look at some of the gun stocks,

smith & wesson is up 95% this year in mostly a flat market. and there might be a christmas tree shortage this year as well. reports say because demand is reportedly lagged over the past couple of years, christmas tree growers produced fewer trees. the number of farms growing christmas trees dropped according to the usda. it's too late to do anything about the current supplies because it takes time to grow trees. 'tis the season to give. i love this story. a minnesota couple who use today rely on discarded food outside of grocery stores, dropped a $500,000 check in a red salvation army kettle in rosemont, minnesota. they're stunned by the generous donation which was their biggest ever. you can see the check there. the couple asked to remain anonymous and say they did it in honor of one of their fathers and gave with hopes of encouraging others to give as generously as they can as well. stuart: that's a wonderful thing. jo: incredible, right? love that story. stuart: yes, it is.

i'm going back to facebook chief mark zuckerberg because he and his wife welcomed their daughter by giving 65 billion in an open letter to his daughter. look at this. matthew 66-- 6:2. >> and truly tell you, they have received their reward in full. who better to follow mark-- i'm sorry, matthew 6:2 than father jonathan morris. what do you make of that? zuckerberg announced it to the world and made a show of the big gift and matthew suggests you shouldn't be doing that. >> there's a contrast between the two stories, the anonymous $500,000 into the salvation army and then this.

but what he has done zuckerberg has done and his wife is extremely acceptable and laudable as long as it's used for purpose. what jesus was warning against, what is your intention, why are you doing it? if you're doing it in order to be lauded, you're losing some of your merit. and zuckerberg and his wife, they're going to find out anyway, get it out there not for the sake of our reputation, but to encourage others to do the same. stuart: so it's laudable. >> i'm more concerned what he's going to use it for than the fact he's making it public that he's actually going to do it. stuart: should he not have paid taxes on it? by giving it to charity there's no tax on that shift. >> absolutely not. stuart: paid no tax when he cashes in the shares. did jesus not take the coin out of the fish's mouth and say

render unto caesar as in pay your taxes? >> yes, but our society decided it's a good thing to have charitable organizations to receive donations and to have a tax deduction from it. i think that's a very good thing because it encourages people to use their money for the sake of things that are going to benefit society. i have no problem, first of all, i'm happy to take any of your money, stuart, anonymously or publicly, to my nonprofit church in the inner city. so, no problems at all. i'm not going to give mark zuckerberg a hard time for it. stuart: if i go donate to charity, and i do, should i get a tax deduction for it? >> yes, i think so. i think it -- i think it's proved to be very beneficial for our country, for the united states of america. i think it encourages people to do what, yes, we should already do, but it also gives the power to the people to, instead of making all of the charitable

work done by government. i think it encourages private organizations to exist and to do the work better, more efficiently than government. stuart: now you're talking. private does it better than the government. >> absolutely. stuart: that should have been the first thing out of your mouth. >> i like to get you mad first and settle you down by throwing you a bone that we both agree on. stuart: father jonathan morris, good stuff and thanks for joining us. here is -- this is my opinion. president obama leaves the paris climate summit empty-handed, his legacy, i think is on the rocks. he's headed back to the white house, he's there. no wonder chris stirewalt said after the press conference the president looked sad and tired. >> the president is sad. that's the ongoing headline for this chapter of the obama presidency, he's very sad. he's very disappointed with his countrymen. he thinks america is not doing a good job of appreciating his leadership. sure, tv has evolved over the years.

president obama ended his news conference from the paris climate summit. our commentators said he was tired and no wonder, he was leaving empty handed. the carbon policy has no teeth. each country sets its own goal on its measurements, if it doesn't meet the goals, they're just trying to look good to green voters. how many times have we heard the words, save the planet? the arrogance of politicians who think they can dictate the temperature of the earth 100 years from now? president obama was very much a part of it all. he knew he couldn't go for binding treaty, that would require congressional approval and he knows he wouldn't get it. the big goals for america for

carbon reduction would fall far short of the promises the president made. it was an idea in symbolism. he returns as obamacare begins its inevitable unravelling. as his mideast policy becomes totally unraveled, and returns after his economic recovery, again, disappoints. no wonder he looks tired and sad. his legacy is on the rocks. ♪ the way i see it, you have two choices; the easy way or the hard way. you could choose a card that limits where you earn bonus cash back. or, you could make things easier on yourself. that's right, the quicksilver card from capital one. with quicksilver you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. so, let's try this again. what's in your wallet?

strategically spread since 2010. stuart: joining us now is general, mac and near knee. the are contained. the top says no, they are not. they are on their way. boots on the ground. can you explain what is going on and to is in charge? >> i think what is going on is the president has been conduct doing a air contained for the last few months. the general said yesterday in his sworn testimony, he told us what the real facts are. the facts are that they may have geographically been contained. the real facts are, they took down a russian airliner in egypt. they attacked in beirut. they attacked in paris. it is spreading to libya.

5000 isis members there as well in others. literally 10 days later, or radically contradicted by his top general. have you ever seen this before? >> i cannot remember it. it is about time. the military active duty and clearly the red tide ranks are furious with the president not telling the american people who the thread is. the violent extremism. radical islam. jihad islam. not telling them what the situation is. unilaterally disarmed. a great deal of concern going on with what the status of the american defense forces are with russia and china. a very encompassing position. now we see a new chairman and a joint chief of staff who is

telling the truth. stuart: fascinating. the russian plane attack. you believe that the shootdown was preplanned i turkey. our viewers are watching it on the screen right now. why would they do that? >> they want to have a competition going and a conflict between nato and russia. as you pointed out, turkey is a stronger supporter of isis. the leading exporter of their own loyal, as well as others allowing the foreign people to come in and to support isis. it is a major problem. we need to call them out on it. the washington times today, a contrived shootdown. he was only in turkish airspace

for 17 seconds. seventeen seconds. stuart: what does this mean? turkey is the leading importer and fundraiser using isis oil. what does that mean? aren't they a member of nato? what is going on? >> a major problem. he is and islam is. i is a said go down every three or four months. the constitution they had in those days, did not permit islam to spread. particularly radical islam. a very strong supporter of the muslim brotherhood. this is where our problem is. nato must get turkey back in line. they ought to get a constitution back in line. they condemned radical islam.

the moderate islam is. we have a problem in turkey today. stuart: thank you very much for joining us. , back again soon. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: senator chuck grassley wants to stop what he is calling taxpayer abuse. thousands of workers being paid billions of dollars to sit at home. do not work. they are on administrative leave for misconduct. we are paying them. liz: only if you are a threat to yourself, others are federal property. people are being put on administrative leave for, we don't know why. no detailed reason why. putting out administrative lead.

so is market watcher karen cavanagh. janet yellen says pretty strongly, yes, you know, risks will go up. does the stock market go up or down? >> i think that the stock market goes up. we have been waiting for this for so long. it should have happened in september. employment. check that off. inflation moving towards its target. i think the stock market will breathe a huge sigh of relief. stuart: this is not the time to raise rates. what does the stock market do then. >> i think the stock market will go down. is there something really wrong with the economy? we will be on a zero interest policy for this long. i think it will go down. stuart: a lot of analysts like you saying rates up, stock market up.

i cannot remember that before. can you? tmac no, i cannot. we are in an unprecedented territory. our economy is not going gangbusters, but it is growing. it is not wanting a 0% interest rate policy. that is not a good thing. we need to get back to the road to normal. stuart: big-name, huge american technology companies. going up and up and up. you are confident that they continue to stay at these lofty levels? >> it depends on their individual earnings. it is not a lot of growth out there. for now, investors willing to pay a little bit more with these companies. showing what they have in terms of earnings. they are not going to continue to go up if they cannot grow their earnings. 2015, earnings were pretty flat

across the board. they can relate clawback and face the headwind of the strong dollar m move forward. they can go up. stuart: you make a lot of sense. everyone around the table understands exactly what you are saying. you will be back. >> okay. thank you. the largest police union. the nfl should let off-duty and retired cops bring guns, concealed, to the games. he joins us after this. >> looking at the isis threat seriously. it is a serious threat. this is a way for them to protect themselves against an attack. it is the struggle that will determine the fate of the free world. the united states should not delay in leading a global coalition

to take out isis with overwhelming force. their aim is our total destruction. we can't withdraw from this threat or negotiate with it. we have but one choice: to defeat it. vo: right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message.

it really, with the conditions being what they are in the country, uncontained as we just heard about on your show, the bottom line is, it is just a safety concern. you can add a force multiplier by having professional police officers at nfl stadiums. >> what concerns a lot of people is the role of for a nation of a lot of guns. the shooting at schools. now it isn't sporting stadiums because of the threat of isis. you understand the concern. a lot of guns to pack stadiums. i am sure you understand that concern. >> sure we understand it. professional police officers. we are not talking about anybody that wants to carry a firearm into one of those events. trained, certified, qualified to. that weapon. they had a deep complexion

there is another side to this. if a zuckerberg giveaway, a former tax avoidance dressed up as for land trophy, if you pass away with a $45 billion fortune, there would be a gigantic state tax bill. giving it away. there is no tax on a gift to charity. brings in mind warren buffet. he avoids tax by giving away his aliens to charity. the government is so good. why are these billionaires giving their money to private foundations. one more thing. wealthy people. now to be tilted into cutting up their money, too? paragons of virtue. if you do not follow suit, you are mean-spirited. typical catalysts. i salute mark zuckerberg generosity and his vision.

>> from my prior life. but go ahead. stuart: is this a sophisticated tax avince scheme dressed up as charity or is it genuine generosity. >> now, how can i know the answer to that? listen, justice oliver said no one should pay a dollar more in taxes than they truly owe. and we are given the means in this country by which to structure our income in order to avoid taxes. something you would profoundly agree with. so this would really depend on what he owns and how he owns it. does he owns these shares already, are they in a trust? what would then evaluated? at their value today or when he sells them? will he just give away his shares? . stuart: to a charitable foundation. >> correct. stuart: and they pay no tax when he sells out of profit. >> correct. stuart: so the government is

going to lose out of maybe $20 billion here. >> well, the government's tax laws are structured to encourage this behavior rather than keep it all in one place to be divvied up in his estat. stuart: yeah. >> so it's the government's own fault. if you want to give me this false front of being in favor of big government and high taxes, which i know you're not, but it's the government's own fault for structuring tax laws that induce this behavior. look, he can't take it with him. he has to do something with it. it would be more enjoyable for him to see the fruits of it now or while he's -- he's a young man. i don't even think he's 30 years old to see this bear fruit in the next 40 or 50 years. now, look, he has an unhappy, unpleasant example of serious charity involving now senator former mayor cory booker and chris christy.

than the new. stuart: is that your argument. generosity and tax avince. >> and it is a shrewed use of the assets convinced to his hands. stuart: do you realize we agree on this? >> yes. stuart: it's both. it's generosity and tax avoidance do you agree with me? >> i would go one step further and say all taxation is theft. ashley: you were five seconds away. stuart: all right., judge, we thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. stuart: good stuff. how about yahoo? let's talk about individual companies and stocks. there are several reports that saying several companies, yahoo, considering selling all of its core internet business. cheryl, if they do that, what's next? cheryl: a web search portal. they're considering two things. spinning off alibaba or selling the core internet businesses. if they did both of those things, which i doubt they will to be honest.

you have yahoo.com to compete with microsoft and google and you might as well close the door. it's a restructuring play. stuart: thirty-six dollars a play, the only value in yahoo is their ownership in stakes in other internet companies. cheryl: a 40% stake in alibaba. we're talking $42 billion, and they have access to the chinese market and that's what alibaba is all about. if they lose that, they're in trouble and that's the problem here. there's a lot of activist investors been vocal today to try to sway this board. ashley: that's why they've been having meetings. cheryl: yeah,. stuart: do you realize y'all alibaba was the company founded before jo ling kent was born. >> why do you always have to bring age into it? . stuart: because i'm old. >> we also have to bring out the other major stake they have in yahoo, japan, you have yahoo japan, and then you also have alibaba. and that's really what this company is relying on. ashley: that's the value.

their online presence, and i think wie got some surprises coming from walmart in the fact that they're probably going to do some things online that we're not aware of. and right now it's so cheap, under valued 30% down i think for the next four to six years it's probably a good play. and after that, who knows what's going to happen. stuart: no, that's very interesting. stock comes all the way down, invest a lot of money in online, you just they've got a good shot at a pop. now, how about apple. i know you like it. what's going on. >> well, apple's apple. apple's always been an innovation leader. the fact of the matter is that, you know, they -- they're the ones that started the smartphone industry, and there are so many invasions right now that have yet to be thought of. if we talked, you know, ten years ago about the electric car and the apple tv, you know, we would -- you would have shot me. no one ever really knew that this stuff was going to happen even a decade ago and there's so much stuff coming and they've proven they can be on the forefront of that, they'll continue to be on the forefront and was that over

the short run who knows what happens but over the next ten years i think you'll be glad you own it. stuart: real fast i'm going to put three big tech stocks on the screen, amazon, alphabet, google, and netflix. they're all hitting new highs today. would you put money into any of them? >> well, you know me from past cession that i'm not a big stock fan at this point anyway. and the reality to answer your question is "no." the key to this space is going to be the platform that they're running on. who can use their platform to really maximize growth and maximize profitability and they're all good in their space but they all have problems at this point. and when the market does have it's next correction, the fact is the tech stocks will lead it down, and i'm not in the market at this point to have a crash and recovery and make nothing. the reality is i want to make money with my money, and i'm waiting for a better time to buy, so right now i'm not putting money missiles. stuart: straight to the point.

they're saving money, they're getting a low paying job, sound familiar? and mostly i should say the majority of those that were dissatisfied were white and did not have college degrees. that was a majority of those. stuart: so it's the economic environment. it's the economic environment. cheryl: correct. stuart: worse today than it was in '86. cheryl: correct. and i want to add my own thought to this that this is the generation that watched their parents lose half of their -- lose their house, lose half their portfolio in the great recession. a lot of these kids that don't believe in the stock market. they don't believe in owning a home because they saw their parents lose a lot. stuart: do you remember this story, i'm sure you do. woodrow wilson's name removed from the school because they say he's racist. now the students fighting back, are you leading the movement? fating back to what the students are doing? >> yes. i'm part of a group

stuart: you're going to get a lot of heat for this. >> i'm sure. stuart: you're going to be called a racist, aren't you. >> that's exactly what's happening and that's why we formed the princeton open campus coalition, many students who were dissenting against the protesters were instantly labeled racist, we had many black students at princeton who were opposed to the protest and opposed to the demands of the protesters and as soon as they voiced their dissent, they were told they weren't really black, there's this idea that if you're not supporting these kinds of -- this kind of agenda that you are, you know, not black. you're not part of the community that they're try to -- stuart: you don't appear to -- i'm not going to say you don't mind the heat but you don't seem to be affected by the heat coming at you. >> no. i'm very willing to speak out, it's an issue i care very deeply about but many of my classmates aren't and that's why we form the coalition. stuart: do you have any idea how many people in your group versus the students camping

out in the office. >> well, you can compare the facebook numbers. that's one way to compare the two but we don't like to see we're taking sides per se. we want to represent the entire princeton student body as we fight for. stuart: what did she free speech. >> free academic speech also free academic speech of the protesters. so we don't like to see we're taking sides per se. we represent students across campus, black, white, hispanic, conservative liberal, male, female, et cetera, we really spanned the spectrum of the campus. we had about 66 students before. stuart: you're far too young to remember this but back in my day in the 1960s, a guy in berkeley, california started the free speech movement. it turns to me we turned completely full circle. now free speech is suppressed. >> it's amazing and that's why we go to college. we go to college to engage in free academic speech and this is exactly what's being stopped. stuart: well, i'm going to call you the mario of the century.
