you're supposed to -- >> unplug your -- >> are you one of those crazy tweeter, texter?weet but i'm really electronically ignorant, to be honest. >> what's your ring tone? >> my ring tone. >> when i call you, what would it be? >> let's see. let me pull it up. ♪ >> what is that? who is that? >> ernest. >> ernest who? >> tub! country's come to town, y'all. yaw! ee ha! >> country's come to town. when you're away from your husband, like i don't know, you're here on the show -- is he in town or somewhere else? >> lord only knows. >> so do you keep in touch? do you guys call every now and then? >> we talk every now and then. we try to -- we talk all the time. i'm honestly not a big phone person. >> you're not. >> i'm not. i much rather talk to someone in person and make eye contact with them. >> me, too. the texting -- we're going to do a segment coming up talking about how we're a little disconnected but i think that is something like this, we're losing this part. >> we're losing communication skills. people don't know how to talk to people anymore. they're used to texting an

both cruise stocks have been rallying, which leaves me and now doubt, rick, my tweeter, is it okay tok at these companies here? a can we buy a stock like carnival cruise less than three months after the disave thor? i think we can. i think we can buy it. that's why tonight's i'm taking the cruise lines out of the cell block and telling you that carnival, the one with the accident, is the one too buy. the reason, as you are dealing with this incident. as tragic as it is for family and friends who lost their lives, the truth is that accident fade away from consumers' mind and eventually things revert to normal. remember how people were afraid to fly after 9/11? eventually consumers got over their fear and took to the skies again. when it comes to the cruise business, you know i think we have reached the point where the worst may be over. when things get back to normal, since it is a two-horse race, a slap happy, when it is dominated by carnival and royal which was nearly three quarters of the market. the buyer stand for your high because it builds ships and that allows carnival and roya

let's start with what our tweeter mentioned. taste.ently, the new burgers and fries at wendy's just taste better than what you get from the competition. something that's also cited over and over again as the reason why wendy's was able to beat out burger king, turning it into burger pawn. the food at wendy's has always been better. that's why when i was fat as a stuck pig seven years ago, i always ordered the biggie fries with my bacon cheese burger. it's the premise of wendy's. you get a higher quality burger with a slightly higher price. mcdonalds is a hundred billion dollar company. wendy's is worth a little less than two billion. there must be some other factors that are more important than how the food tastes. what's the secret sauce thing? what's allowed mcdonald's to dramatically out perform wendy's for years despite having, well, some would think, worst tasting food. i happen to love the egg ç mcmuffin so much. anyway, it's execution. mcdonald's is the best execution in the food business, by far. think of mcdonald's as a well

. >> one important issue for the election and i know you're a prolific tweeter.irst, just to show you a poll about the president's handling of gas prices. it sort of has been stunning to me how people really have an opinion on the president relling to gas prices. i know the president's point of view has been well look, there's not much a president can do about gas prices, but i wanted to play you something mitt romney said on tuesday in missouri about that. >> what could it be? what could it be? now, i have some suggestions for him. maybe it's related to the fact that you stopped drilling in the gulf. maybe it's related to the fact, mr. president, that you're not drilling in anwr. maybe it's related to the fact you said we couldn't get a pipeline in from canada known as keystone. those things affect gasoline prices long-term. >> what do you say to mitt romney? >> i would say he's got his facts wrong. we're drilling 20% more than. we're producing more oil dmesically, 20% more than when the president arrived, the most since 2005. we vastly expanded the areas in whi
