rick steves europe show. the euro is very favorable fur an american. what's the best way to maximize your budget if you are planning a trip to europe? >> regardless of how strong the dollar is or how weak the euro is, it's important to travel smart. enjoy the planning part of your trip. people often underestimate the importance of their time. we americans have the shortest vacations in the rich world and we wait in lines needlessly. you can find alternatives to expensive hotels if you have good information where you can travel quite economically. this year the dollar is 20% stronger than last year so that's good news for everybody. but way not go to a place just because their currency is lower than our currency. i think you should follow your travel dreams. if your dreams are to go to norway, and somebody said portugal is a good deal this year, you should go to norway. >> a lot of americans when they think of a trip to europe, they think of rome, london, paris. what are some of the other cities that are less

tv personality rick steves agrees.ngton that legalized marijuana in that state. >> it's just a huge black market industry with billions of dollars that's enriching and empowering organized crime that should be turned into a legitimate industry. >> reporter: colorado began selling marijuana in january 2014. during the first eight months, that state collected $45 million in taxes from the sale of medical and recreational marijuana. nerd wallet, a personal finance website pro jebs california would generate $519 million in tax revenue. california is expected to have an initiative on the november 2016 ballot. companies like this one are hoping it passes not just for the money, but the type of safety regulations that would come with it. >> we test cannabis for potency and contam nats, to keep the cannabis safe for consumers. >> reporter: citizens against legalizing marijuana side with the federal government in that marijuana is a drug with high potential for abuse and should not be legalized. >> people need to recognize how

>> yeah, it is a good down payment as steve said and as rick endorsed. $400 marshawn lynch is less than 1 ssh 10 of 1% of last year's military. it is small. what we really need is for the president to channel his inner winston churchill but, oh, wait barack obama took down churchill's portrait almost immediately upon taking the white house in 2009. >> i forgot about that. >> i guess it isn't there. but it sure needs to be there. >> ondamnjohn, we saved the best for last i know you are a die hard libertarian, i suspect you have problems with some of what you've heard. >> i think i'm going to be rick for this segment.

we've steve liesman and rick santelli in chicago. steve liesman, 257,000 jobs created. the unemployment rate dipped -- goes up to 5.7%. regale us here. >> there's a lot to regale you with, bill, because i think the big story is not so much the 257,000, it's the prior revisions adding 147,000 jobs to december and november which were all part of a broader annual benchmark revision that really upped the trajectory of job growth to now an additional 15,000 per month. i don't have a chart but it looks like job trajectory is going straight up in terms of monthly growth and so what has happened, bill is that our sense of the underlying strength of the job market took a major step forward, and there's another detail in there which is that the household survey showed 700,000 people coming back into the workforce which is why the unemployment rate rose. if there's a good reason for the unemployment rate to rise it's that. it's that a strong job market is attracting people from the sidelines to raise their hand and say, you know i'm back available for work, count me as part of the

[laughter] you know, i had more fun doing this with steve and rick and with travis brown, but it's really fun to -- let me just go through a couple, and then i'm going to go through california with you because i really still have a thing on for california seeing i lived there most of my life, and finally i was on governor's council. and when he turned to the darked side schwarzenegger, i decided i'd get out of dodge. i still miss him. he was very entertaining. in fact, i remember the first time i met with him. i was having breakfast with him up at his house in l.a. and i'd met him a couple of times, but i didn't know him well at all. went up there to have breakfast with him, and i'd heard that his sharp wit was really amazing, so i decided the best defense would be an aggressive offense. so i went up there and i said, governor, i just want to tell you very clearly how pleased i am to be with you today. and it's just a real honor to be with you. but the truth of the matter is i hope you're a good governor and do really well. and with that he responded to me, he said arthur, why are you cle

let's go in focus with steve forbes rich mike, saab if a, john and rick younger. rich, 73% of americans say they do not think the president has a strategy for defeating isis. should we just declare war on the guys? >> number one the american people are right and number two, yeah, we should declare war because there has never been a better time. the burning of this jordanian pilot has galvanized the world including many people in the middle east. we've never had more economic bench to work behind the scenes to pressure saudi arabia and qatar to stop funding groups like this we now have the upper hand on oil and gas. if we don't do it and god forbid these guys get their hand on a weapon of mass destruction we'll reget if. >> john even some lib tear yans are saying a clear declaration of war would cut through all of the uncertaintiy. >> i guess i've got rick's slot for a second straight week. i'm going to give a rick kind of answer. i think this is a really bad idea once again. we to some degree have isis because we saw fit together rid of sad dam hue sign why do we

steve is right. what on earth was broken about this? to rick's criticism, what evidence is there this is in any way hurting entrepreneurship in america. we're fixing something that didn't need to be fixed. >> i completely agree. it's not his proposal. this is blatant political grab. it's from obama. he's sore about november's loss. >> is this just pay back? >> the president wants to turn the internet into one of those all you can eat buffets. the big carriers like at&t will be fine. the small ones like centurylink will get squashed. >> coming up a new survey finding 72% of americans are stressed out about their finances. no need to sweat. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. 3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about? f

steve leisman is here. you've been looking through those numbers as well. i heard you agrees with rick it's a big number. important number. not only did economists think it was going to come in under 40 but the government had assumed a $40 billion trade deficit. look. the important story right here is how jack welsh was yesterday. let's review where he sid the fed would be insane to raise rates because of the dollar. what we see this morning in the trade numbers is exactly the channel by which the stronger dollar affects the u.s. economy. lower exports, higher imports. now, the higher imports is potentially a good thing in we have consumers with more money in their pockets for gasoline more money because of more jobs that are out there. so you have this increase in imports. and because there's more to spend. >> we thought we were going to get a big break on this because of the lower oil prices. that being a huge part of what we import too. >> exactly. but what's happening is we had other imports that took the place of others. we'll have to go back and do some of -- they'll have to mess

rick santelli always joining us. mike, let me start with you. we will have stanley fischer with us in a few minutes. but we already know steve has told us that mr. fisher feels there's going to be a rate hike this year. should the stock market worry about the fed tightening this year? >> no, it's not. unlike all the other times they've done this they're not fighting an imminent threat. the market is absorb this. >> beth ann, respond to that but also this performance we've seen in the markets this month. quietly it's been a pretty historical one. >> talk about what the nasdaq is doing, wow, yeah. it did take them 15 years, i believe, to reach this level. >> i don't just mean the nasdaq though. in point terms we're talking about the dow, maybe even the s&p having one of their best months in all time. one of the best februarys ever as well. >> i would say particularly looking at the growth stocks in the indices, they're doing rather well. if you take into account growth stocks are forward looking, they're kind of betting on a strong economy which we and the fed seem to agree on. >> the important thing is we've seen some weaknes

rick thank you. have a wonderful weekend and i'll see you again on monday. >> you as well. >> thank you. >>> right now let's get reaction to the data from our panel of guests. steveard you talking through the numbers. >> there's a lot of commentary it could come out under 2%. i like the internals of this growth number. the spending number at 4.2% final sales of domestic buyers revised up to 3.2% from 2.8%. the business investment number not as strong as it should be but stronger than the initial print. it was originally 1.9%. plus one of the big reasons for the decline or the restatement is that they revised down inventory. now they're 88 billion. that sets us up a little better. they were initially reported very strong. so a little less inventory to work off. you still have federal government spending following 7. 7.5% rate. and the other thing that's out there is this strange thing that happens. there's a dissidents and on the way here so you don't get the benefit of the import price change until this quarter or the next quarter. >> it takes that long? >> it takes six weeks and there's hedging and forward and people buy forwards. so you don't get the impact of
