find me, andrew wk.a long title, but i like it but first, excuse me, should the government tax. what's next? your income? >>> should we put a tax on lowell cats? a brooklyn city councilman says taxing them could help local economies. he suggested that money collected from your web surfing and e-mails could be used in berkeley's case to save the local post office. that is like taxing a ding dong to save a ho-ho. that was a terrible mockery of my joke. but there should be something like a bit tax. i mean a bit tax could be sent per a gigabit and they would make probably, what -- >> a gig go by the? >> it is gigabit. >> and they will make millions a year and there should be a tiny tax on e-mail. >> this nonsense is banning internet taxation, but just like my nude karate membership , how do you tame an ostrich? >> big deal. i am not impressed. what did he use it for later? all of a sudden the next day -- the oscars are in some kind of hotel scared out of his wits. >> why is there such a huge desire to share

that's just me. >> gangs weren't a problem for andrew huff.nger was. >> it's like when you're building up stress, it's like a bomb exploding. as soon as somebody gets you to a point, you explode. i fall down in tears and realize what you done was wrong. >> we don't ever want to send anybody back into the community we don't feel can be successful. that's the ultimate goal. sometimes we're successful, and other times we just fail. >> andrew, are you ready? >> yeah. >> you're nervous? >> why don't you go ahead and talk to us about why you're in prison. >> i'm here for arson, breaking and entering, theft, and resisting arrest and probation violation. >> relax, okay? >> what we're doing here today is all about you. you said that you have anger issues that boil up inside of you. and that's what happened. that's what happened in the community. that's why you set a fire. that's why you threatened those girls. you need to convince us that you have got a handle on that and you understand what it is that boils up inside of you and causes you to want to b

i hope that you provide support for jen and andrew. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. >> next speaker. >> good morning, aran poplar, revitalization seems to be the theme of the morning and i am going to speak on that as well as someone who has gone to school in the neighborhood and subsequently worked here and it is always been about doing my thing during the day and leaving and going elsewhere to meet up with colleagues or classmates and i think that the beer hall would really fill a niche that is missing at this time and as a supervisor, pointed out, you know, this model has worked to revitalize other areas and the beer hall is unique and in that it is a gathering place, and also, a place where you can get education, about what you are drinking and i think that that is why the off-sale liquor license is important so you taste something that you like and you can take it with you, also, maybe you don't have time to sit down, you can take something home, and enjoy it later. so it brings that add ad business to the neighborhood as

and andrew.at may be able to tell us where it's going to go, or where he thinks it's going to go. he's a happy guy, isn't he, andrew? >> he's a very happy guy. today he's particularly happy, joe. i am at the wharton economic summit and the happy guy i'm talking about to my left is jeremy siegel. we call you sometimes the perma bowl, also professor of finance at wharton. things have worked out your way. the past couple of days at least. >> yes. right, right. >> before we got on camera we were talking to one of our camera guys who was saying there's going to be a pullback. and tax time is going to come, open's going to come. at some point everyone's waiting for this moment when they think they can still get on the train. >> right. >> i know you're not a market timer and i want to hear what jim chanos thinks about this, too, but is there an opportunity coming that people should be waiting for, or do they get in now, and do it that way? >> i think you had it right. you said when everybody's waiting f

andrew keene, president of keeneonthemarket.com, joins us now for chart talk.good morning on this monday to you as well andrew. what do you think about u.s. airways stock? > > i have been looking at this one for a while, and it has recently had a nice little pullback. on the daily chart, it got down to $12.70, and then it had a big tail on the bottom - big tail means aggressive buying. on friday the stock surged up to $13.95. also we have seen unusual option activity. i have seen a lot of calls being bought, and a lot of traders talk about this a lot, calls being bought on the march 14 line and the april 14 line. so i am long lcc by buying the april 14 calls. i am on long those for about 61¢. > do you anticipate this volatility will continue in this stock? > > yeah. also, the airlines have looked pretty well. the market looks a little dicey here, the market kind of seems like it wants to roll over, but we also see oil heading lower, and oil heading lower is good for the airlines. i am also long calls of luv. that stock is at $13.82, that is a 52-week high. i th

that shows you volatility. >> groupon ceo andrew mason is fired. believe his severance package though. and robert is all over it. robert? >> if you think the letter is weird, look at the severance. not even enough to buy the proverbial gold watch. but we won't feel sorry for him. >> we'll have that next. >>> andrew mason, forced to resign yesterday, in a memo to employees mason said after four and half and intense wonderful years as ceo with groupon, i decided i would like to spend more time with my family. just kidding. i was fired today. what is he walking away with? >> he only gets salary for six months. $756.72, a year. so his severance, $378.36. i guess we call that a led rather than golden parachute. just over a year ago, he was a billion air. at least on paper. after the ipo november 2011 shares were worth more than $1.3 billion. he of course was celebrated as the latest tech billionaire. then came the long and painful slide. today his shares are worth around $200 million. 85% drop in wealth. he lost more than $1 billion in paper wealth. we

chris: andrew? >> i think the odds are we will not go to war with iran and the president has no intention of doing so and the hope is we can defuse and neutralize this. but this was -- this was apax weekend and the president only had so much leeway and public opinion also. i think when public opinion actually hits the ground, are we going to go to another war in iran didn't we elect barack obama to do that? they're going to say no and the bluff will be called. chris: when we come back, big question of the week, american society embraces gay marriage question of the week, american society embraces gay marriage and even catholics chris: welcome back. new poll reflects eenourmous shift in enormous support of gay marriage. 50% of american catholics back it which brings us to this week's big question. what does this say about religion in america, when americans are so willing to set their own moral courses. david? >> i think america's civic religion, pervasive thing americans believe is libertarianism. d

with me in new york, andrew sullivan, the author and editor of the dish blog. i'm pleased to have each of them here as we look forward to tomorrow and wednesday. a historic couple days at the supreme court. jeffrey toobin, i begin with you. what's -- tell me about the court deciding to consider these cases now and hear them on consecutive days. >> well, that is major event in american history. i don't think i'm overhyping it to say this. you know, the supreme court has never said is s it okay -- has never answered the question is it okay to put gay people in one category and straight people in another and say we're going to give government benefits-- whether it's marriage, whether it's tax benefits, whether it's access to child custody-- we're going to give benefits to straight people and keep them away from gay people. that's the core question at the heart of both of these cases and we're going to know a lot more about the answers starting tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning. >> in the largest view, no matter what the supreme court says this term, my prediction i

>> i don't know if that was andrew or joe from where i was sitting. >> andrew. >> andrew, we would never businesses that we think trade at a discount to private market value. i do think we tend to compete with private equity firms because many of our equities have very low leverage and generous cash flow relative to enterprise value. that may happen, but that's not really what we're planning on at this point. >> does that make sense to you? >> a couple years ago, we spent a lot of time looking at staples. almost everything they sell has a staple. everything in some way tied to paper. whether it be selling notebooks or printers, sell paper, the pens and everything else. and, you know, we argued that there needs to be rationalization and see the gentleman just argued. >> that helps. >> over the near term. but what the business model looks like in five and ten years is more problematic to us. and that's why we stayed away. doesn't mean it can't get acquired. >> let me ask you, do you print more today or less than you five years ago? >> i print less. >> i print more. trees are america's rene

andrew, get to your -- anyway. out of this. >> i'm here in new orleans -- i can't get out of this one. i am in new orleans. this is probably one of the greatest barometers of market conference in the world annually. all the lawyers, bankers, comes here and talks about the dark arts, if you will, of mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance. you get a look at what's going on behind the scenes. you will hear about dell, eihorn. brunswick, pr firm, does a survey of the folks here every year before the conference. they actually have statistically been pretty accurate about where mergers and acquisitions are going the next year. 97% of the folks here said they believe there's going to be more transactions this year probably to be expected given where the markets are going. we're going to talk about cyprus and see what that means to the markets. look at this. in terms of where the deals are coming, number one consumer goods, 31% believe consumer goods will be the big targets of the year. 27% say tech and telecom. 15

hall. >> if you could ask the clerk to... >> i'm andrew hall and it is very nice to be here in front of you. and late, 2010, i like many people in the bay area and across the nation lost my job and when this happens, after you get over the initial shock, you start thinking about your life and see what your future holds. i saw this as an opportunity, i have worked in construction all of my life and i always had a passion for home brewing and craft beer and knew that i wanted this to be the focus of our family business. i understand my wife who also shares my love gave me the green light. >> i went into full discovery mode and realized that the popular craft beer had exploded in the last few year. >> we are planning to be the premier location in san francisco to taste, buy and to learn about specialty craft beers. it is a hybrid of up scale shop meets classic room. there is a strong focus on promoting beers and brewers and our selection of beer and wine will be on the tap and by the bottle and over smaller. our expected hours of operation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 1 on p.m. on the week

andrew, if i might start with you. in your column you reference criticism that michael dell has been receiving for the way he brought forth his buyout proposal. talk to me a little bit about that and whether you believe that if any outcome here with dell, michael dell will still abe part of the company or won't he? >> the second part of the company is still the question whether michael dell remains part of the company. he clearly wants to own the company. he tried to buy out the company and in the process has put it in play to the point where he may not ultimately be part of the future of this company. to your first question, there are rarj issues around management-led buyout and there are questions among shareholders who were saying to themselves why has michael dell want to buy this company? is he buying it on the cheap and if he's buying it on the cheap why should i sell it to him and leon cooperman said this is the equivalent of insider trading and he knows something that other shareholders don't and to some extent

and andrew ross, "san francisco chronicle" columnist. earlier this evening president obama signed an order triggering automatic cuts in federal spending. this is because congress and the president failed to reach a deficit reduction deal. andrew, let's begin with you. how is california affected specifically? >> of all the states, california is affected in dollar terms the most. something like $3 billion to $4 billion this year out of total, at least, of an $85 billion first-year cut. the military is taking the biggest cut. california has a major military presence. mostly in southern california, but also, of course, in northern california around sacramento, and around monterey. that's going to be hit really hard, too. $87 million worth at least of education cuts, which means secondary education, some primary education, plus head-start, plus special education, there are all sorts of cuts coming through. will it affect the overall recovery in california? i think, perhaps, not so much, but i think a lot of people are going to be hurt. how th

i think andrew is right and jonathan chad is right.h sides seem to have come to the conclusion that it's better to go through the process of pretending to have a budget than negotiate. budgets people don't understand what they really are, not actually spending bills, wish lists. the government can keep going without a budget, it has been going through the last four years without one. congress did vote a spending resolution last week that will keep the government going until september. both sides have decided they don't want to shut the government down, does terrible things to both their approval ratings. they'd rather keep the government going and argue about the big issues on the budget but not actually agree on anything. the republicans don't want to raise taxes, the democrats don't want to cut entitlement spending. without agreement on those two basic issues, i don't think there is any middle ground. >> andrew, what do you make of this? we were quoting the "washington post" earlier and i want to continue a line or two. he writes, ob
