we are going to talk to howard schultz this hour about that and a number of other issues. raising their guidance. wouldn't comment on soda, although i'm sure we'll try to give that another go. >> yeah. i do think it was great to not hear the weather disrupted the quarter even though they had many stores that closed. as a matter of fact, as the quarter went on, it got stronger. i think that that's terrific. this is now they've said listen, we're done testing. beer and wine. >> it's going to happen. >> they said we'll go there at night now. >> europe the strongest it's been in 14 quarter, 16% growth. promised it on the show. howard's moved into social mobile. they're talking about this being monetized and sounds like monetized this year. >> this was the best call last night. >> yeah. potentially licensing their mobile payment platform would be a huge new play. >> as starbucks sending visa desce descends. >> what's up with that. >> 100 million kalgs in russia. this conference call was amazing. guided down on every level. they did say don't worry about it. this was the first c

i think that was part of the key message from debbie wasserman schultz today on "meet the press."ou're starting to see this in some of the tough races. where democrats aren't completely running away from obama care. but they're not completely embracing it either. david gregory made the point that gene jaheen in new hampshire in a radio interview said this, quote, i think there are important things about the affordable care act that are working and working very well. i think we need to fix the things that are not working. walking that very fine line, alex. you're seeing other democrats in tough races sort of walking that similar fine line. but republicans are not going to stop their all-out assault of the president's health care law. i think what will change, though, is p ares not calling for repeal in the same way. i think you'll hear them talk more about the ways in which they want to fix the law, because polls show appealing the law is not popular. >> kristen, another key issue i want to talk about is the obama administration's delay decision on the keystone xl pipeline. twitter

joining me now, florida democratic congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. good morning to you. >> good morning, chuck. >> no disputing that on a simply pure headline day, best 24 hours of the health care law as far as health care support is concerned, new national poll. like i said, hasn't been matched yet. might be an outlyer. good headline for you. and 7 million enrollees. do you feel like this is a success today? >> absolutely. more than 6 million people have signed up for health care coverage, 9.5 million people who did not previously have coverage who now have it. you have the ability of people like me, who have a pre-existing condition. i'm a breast cancer survivor, who don't have to fear being dropped or denied coverage for their pre-existing condition. you have no more worry about medical bankruptcy because gone are the days of lifetime and annual caps. seniors have -- the average senior in my district, chuck, saves $940 a year on their prescription drugs because obamacare closes -- >> the hole. >> that donut hole. the list goes on. it's only going

wasserman schultz of florida. ms. wasserman schultz: thank you very much. thank you, mr. speaker. appreciate the time from the gentleman. first, let me commend and pile on to the commendations that are so deserving by our colleagues and my good friends, chairman culberson and ranking member bishop on crafting a strong and bipartisan bill. see, congress can really work together when we put our heads and our hearts together. let me especially recognize their leadership in including language in the bill which will help many of our nation's veterans transition into careers in civilian health care. the united states military has the best trained medics and corpsmen in the world. in fact, the data substantiates that special forces medics greatly increases the chance of survival for those that suffer injuries on the battlefield. despite this, they have one of the highest unemployment rates because their expensive medical training in the military doesn't perfectly match qualifications in the civilian world. for example, army specialist nick kolgan, who president obama applauded an america

to discuss the challenges, i'm joined by florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz.hair of the democratic national committee. good to have you. >> thank you. >> here is the challenge. the president is out there making the case that, run on this, make the arguments, accuse the republicans of trying to take this away, but you have vulnerable democrats who are saying something else. they're basically saying the law is flawed, and we should fix it. this is jeanne shaheen in a radio news interview. she said, i think there are important things about the affordable care act that are working and working very well. i think we need to fix the things that are not working and that's what i'm committed to. i would have designed it differently if i had been designing it. unfortunately, i wasn't the person who was writing the law. i think hindsight is always 20/20. you always know you could have done better. to me that's not a ringing endorsement to get people out there to vote. >> that's legislation 101. that's how we have handled laws and their evolution throughout american histo

we heard from debbie wasserman schultz.d the decision to delay the keystone pipeline was not political. we heard from jay carney. he said it's not the president's fault. it's congress's fault. it is a big story. with all this blaming goingç on in washington, d.c., you would think the networks would do a lot on it. no. instead what they have been doing is they're covering the royal baby. in fact, on this week, martha radditz said should hillary clinton be called grandma? >> no one loves baby news more than me but there is a responsibility i believe our nation deserves. >> i remember mitt romney during the election had like a hundred grandkids. i don't remember the glowing press that the clintons are getting right now. >> 59 days without talking about obamacare, this week without george stephanopoulos didn't touch it ought all. meanwhile, let's talk ranch. >> the bundy family talking about their livelyhood. there is a new facebook page the bundyç family has to prove to the world that the feds have slaughtered their cattle.

happened under his watch, ray schultz. in that time, what happened was the use of lapel cameras became part of the reform a year and a halfing two, two years ago. and that is what happened in this james boyd case, you know, it went global. the video took it to a whole new level. the reaction from the police has been fairly muted so far but until this point today it's been a bit of a circling of the wagons. a bit 6 everything is okay here, going back a year and a half, two years ago or so. i think the police department now just basically has its hands tied. they know the community is to the going to accept the status quo any more. we've had three protest marches, one of which made the news globally. i went to the first march, the peaceful march last tuesday, an enormous march by albuquerque standards, people have pretty much had it. so for the police department it's a difficulty. they really don't have anything left to say now that the department of justice has had its say on constitutionality of these issues. >> well, when

amazon, pro-gay rights, starbuck, howard schultz has taken a stance against guns in his store.il-a, conservative. the idea of a ceo losing his job, i frankly find pretty troubling. >> for something e did several years ago. he said he'd work with the lgbt community. so many tech companies have a very inclusive tolerant brand, an image, that almost they're intolerant of intolerance. >> that's right, and it's worth remembering the position that he held on same-sex marriage was the nation barack obama held until about a year ago. >> true. a large majority of americans -- not a majority, but a -- >> a plurality. in the 40s somewhere. >> there you go. >> so the idea, it's not like he held nazi views or some sort of way out there views. these are views held by millions and millions of americans. so the idea that that could get you fired is interesting, and also i think the gay community -- this wasn't an organized campaign to get rid of him. this arose largely because, okaycupid started urging users not to use mozilla. >> to use a different browser. >> i'm sorry, use a different brows

let's talk with glenn schultz with performance trust about this. let's start off with the yield curve. seems like it's kind of down. what is this telling traders? >>it's telling traders that the risk off trade is now back on. treasury yields are beginning to rally. this is due to 2 factors. first, the federal reserve has taken a more dovish approach to tapering and the timing of interest rate increases. on top of that we have increasing hostility in the ukraine. that has fueled the flight to quality trade and that's brought treasury yields down. >>we're going to be talking later in the program about earnings reports. how is that affecting the bond markets now? >>it has been somewhat positive for the bond market. in terms of the earnings reports coming out, we have a couple of things going for us. profits are continuing to move upwards in the corporate sector, earnings continue to improve, and we are now looking at an economic expansion as anemic as it isis becoming one of the longest expansions on record in a very short period of time. what you wou

>> debbie wasserman schultz was on "meet the press" last night. this isç hat she had to say.ewer is asking her if she thinks the referendum on president obama is going to affect performance in the white house. >> you have the republican party strangled by the tea party. they are way down by republican primaries in which the tea party candidates are the likely winners. and we have countless elections now that democrats have won because the republicans have nominated extremists that their voters reject. that's the advantage we will have going into this election. >> what's interesting there is effectively she was just following the talking points memo that has been circulated, and she used the word extremists to describe republicans. because james carville and stan greenberg, a couple of top democrat pollsters, what they figured out is that if democrats want to not lose everythi', what they've got to do is they've got to remind people not that the recovery is working -- because there has been no recovery -- but what seems to work is the 1% thing, the thing that worked against mi

. >> advised schultz plans to keep in mind for next time. >>> temperatures around the bay area higheroday than they were yesterday and it was pretty easy to notice that. >> stepping outside it is beautiful out there with lots of sunshine. the fog cleared out and lots of 70s. a few neighborhoods around 80 degrees. taking a look at the highs for today for wednesday afternoon, you see it topped out in the lower 80s toward concorde, livermore and antioch. san jose 79, oakland 76 and san francisco the upper 60s. on the satellite you probably noticed a big batch of high clouds moving across the bay area about 3:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m. those clouds are drifting to our south and east leaving us with mostly clear skies. some of the clouds out toward the modesto area last check. current numbers updated for the 7:00 p.m. hayward 62, san francisco has cooled off to 57 degrees and san jose checking in at a very mild 70. for tonight we do have partly cloudy skies with a bit of a breeze winds around ten-20 miles an hour. this is our life camera, san francisco in the distance of the golden gate bridge.

it relates to her trip on the day santiago and tom schultz is the illustrator for this. he and alan waterston collaborated in doing the drawings that would go with her poetry. this is strictly interesting page because allie says she got the idea to do the book after hiking the trail when she saw a map of it and it reminded her of a woman stretching across northern spain on this ogre mage. and then ron drew the map and also this overlay which is a woman superimposed on this so as we close this page it shows a woman on the map and his interpretation. the artist comes in with a vision and they have their writing and then also when you are working in collaboration so ron schultz who did the illustrations had both the inspiration of what alan waterston is telling in a writing but also his inspiration that he brings to it influence by what she is describing to him so he does the drawings and she says oh yes that works and that goes together. i like that so it is collaborative. it's not the author just directing necessarily how the whole book goes so it's in that collaboration

wait until you hear what james carville and debbie wasserman-schultz have to say. one more, ethanol is worse to the environment than gasoline. the markets moving up a little. spring is here, and "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ ♪ stuart: start with gas prices. look at that, keep on climbingment national average for regular a little higher overnight, $3.66 is your current national average. but wait, look at california. highest in the nation by a long way, $4.21. underlying gas prices, the price of oil to. where's that this monday morning? $104.51 a barrel. it's up there. sandra smith is with me. gas has been up, i think, almost if not every single day for a month. >> yes. stuart: now, i've got two questions. why is that? and number two with, $4 gas on the horizon for this summer? what do you say? >> let me give you the easy answer, it's geopolitical tensions in ukraine, okay? it's the federal reserve pumping money in the system, devaluing the u.s. dollar, driving up those commodity prices. the more difficult answer as i look into this gas price rise is consum

i think this is true and for debbie wawser -- waserren man schultz who is the dnc chair woman. let's talk about when this announcement was made. it wasn't made today on monday. it was a press conference called at 2:00 p.m. on friday, not just any friday, but good friday when everybody was going to go home for the weekend. that's a tactic people have used in the past. i know a little bit about that. i don't think it works as well any more with the 24-7 news cycle because here we are on monday still talking about it. the administration owns analyst shows there would be no environmental impact and the jobs would actually increase. what you have is environmentalists versus common sense energy policy. the environmentalists won this round. one of the things that was said they want the local legal issues to play out in nebraska before they get involved. that might be persuasive, if they hadn't overstepped local legal decisions in all the other major cases such as immigration is one and gay marriage and sentencing for criminals, all of those decisions are coming from the u.s. departmen

. >> you saw there with debbie wasserman schultz says they are going to run on it.ence a couple of brand new polls. asked if obamacare is the difference between two candidates all else being equal, you will vote for: and the one who will fight against it got a '%. one who will fight for it 39%. when you look at independence, who we all agree these days seem to be the deciding factor, among independence the numbers are even more of a split. vote for the people fight against it 54%. vote for the person fight for it 2%. do you think the democrats stick to their guns when it comes to campaigning on obamacare? >> if you are in a red state you will run away from it as quickly as you possibly can. it can be the second election where obamacare hurts the democrats 2016 could be the 30 if that's the case. it's hard to see how this is durable if it's a partisan bill that hurts the democrats in three consecutive elections. i looked at one point in your numbers though because there is a flip side. for example, you are right the cbo says 31 million people uninsured still in 10 ye
