Stuart youre going to come with us, because youre going to cover the real half time report at 12 45 eastern when the market is half over and youll join us on monday with that.

And thanks, nicole. Groupon a proposed loss, spending more in the online marketplace. If i remember, charles, you picked this one, is it one victory lap youre not going to take . Not yet. It was an interesting thing, because when they reported the stock went up 15 in the after market and people took a look at it and went down 10 . Theyve got a serious problem, a credibility problem from the beginning when they had their own Accounting System and also an execution problem. They made a big time acquisition in china, theyve folded it and made a lot of question marks. I have it on my monthly newsletter and usually we ask people to hold for a year and we looked at it hard last night and this morning well hold it and i wouldnt buy if. It i didnt have it i wouldnt buy it. Stuart youre not selling, not taking your profits. Charles or a loss. Stuart hewlettpackard raising a profit outlook, guess what, its pc business has grown. Clayton morris is here. I thought pcs were disappearing . People have to replace current pcs with new pcs, this is an area of h ps growth. Pcs are declining year over year. Dont get your hopes up. stuart youre running microsoft windows. Theyve expanded, cut costs and this is the First Quarter that hp has seen Revenue Growth in that area in a while. Seven quarters under meg whitman. Its a big move for them, but hp failing big time to get into mobile. While were seeing growth in the pe personal computer market. Mobile, dont worry about it. Stuart the principle, if you cant beat them, join them. Almost a dozen big name retailers are putting their products on amazon with links to their website. I could shop for j. Crew products going online to amazon. Yes. Stuart to me thats a big extension of amazons reach. Well, the main place that people do shopping online is amazon, so, if you are a if you have products to sell youre going to amazon, big retailers have been holding out hopping people are going to gap. Com or old navy. Com on a large scale. Turns out the smaller retailers were seeing Enormous Growth on amazon. Put your clothes up on amazon and 79 for that prime membership gets you free shipping. Now, that thats the deal. Thats the deal. And that falls to the retailers. So thats going to fall now to gap, these other companies to, j. Crew, to pay for shipping im not sure i understand it, but we hear it can build a virtual 3d model of your surroundings, mapping your indoor and your outdoor locations, wherever you are. Yeah. Stuart all right, clayton, come on. Sounds cool. Its exciting . Wait a second. You think i need to look at this to find out whats around me here . Perhaps youre lost in a building somewhere, so. Stuart happens. Happens a lot for me and my wife makes fun of me, no, weve got to go left, this way, this way. Indoor navigation is a huge market, its kind of janky. If you can build 3d modeling where you are thats huge. Think of the Practical Applications for this. You want to remodel your home, charles, standing in your room, you scan your room, now exactly the distance from in one point of a doorway to this one point after doorway, go across town to the architect and map of the living room. Think of realtors who can map interior of a house. Somebody in anchorage alaska, thinking of moving to massachusetts, you can scan your house with the phone. Charles its kind of cool. Exactly. Stuart now ive got it. And imagine being in your living room, scanning your living room picking up virtual objects for kids and games will be a big thing for this, too. Stuart wait a minute, im in my living room and kids are playing around and stuff all over the place. Its think stuff. Inside the game internally picking up fake virtual boxes and competing, and used to play capture the flag back in the day. Stuart yes, i do. Imagine doing a virtual version of that competinggfor territory. And google is putting it out there that this is practical. Lets be honor, Game Developers will have at it first. Stuart its not here yet. Its only for developers right now, theres no one you cant go out and buy it yet. Stuart why is charles laughing . Come on, im just saying, when you saw capture of the flag, the old british empire, that was a version of the game he was thinking about, i remember when we snatched internecia and remember when we had the 13 colony. And now its rock of gibralter. Stuart the british never colonized indonesia, it was the dutch. [laughter] lets move on, clayton, i want your of take on the facebook acquiring for 19 billion whats app. This is incredibly important for the future of messaging. The number one thing that people do on their phones is messaging. The only messaging service in the United States was facebook was popular in the United States was facebook messenger. Outside the United States facebook didnt have a hold in messaging at all. China has we chat. Other areas of the world whats app. The Fastest Growing mobile application in history. 450 million users, when facebook buys this, it sort of completes zuckerbergs vision for trying to connect everyone in the world to internet. And 450 million users in facebooks back pocket makes that instagram deal a year ago look like a steal for a billion dollars. Stuart its closing in on 70 a share, facebook. If you look at the valuation of it, im not the stock by, but look at twit ter twitter 256 mi users and look at whats app, i think they got it for a steal. Charles they have a straight up you pay for it. Per year. The whats app they say took 33 billion in revenue away from the phone companies. In 2016 it will be 54 billion. A fraction of that to the bottom line for facebook justifies the price. Stuart what about this, robert scovel, the tech guy on this program, he says whats app is full of spam so he deleted it, got rid of it. A lot of junk stuff coming at him. Look, thats facebook, talk about the spam and the amount of ads and junk you get on facebook . I mean, probably 10 of the stuff you get on facebook is stuff you actually want right now. Facebook is taking a chance with the rest of the world owning the messaging service, latin america into asia. Stuart netflix is caring the big hit series house of cards its airing in china and the government sensors are letting it through, even though it has, some would say its critical of china, but theyre letting it through. My point here though is that if netflix is big in china, thats huge for netflix. Certainly, were seeing the original programs now break through into china, in other parts of the world and even things dont translate well. Doe thent understa they dont understand, a lot of the talk about filibuster, and whats a filibuster, it doesnt matter. Its the drama, the streaming online video which is what a lot of the chinese and japanese are doing anyway, they dont have paying for cable . Thats not something theyre doing. Getting stuff on the smart phone while theyre on the train and different parts of the country is huge. Also, too, its making fun of america a little bit. If you read some of the chinese forums, this is like american bullies, showing the senators and congressmen, affirming for them the opinion of american as a bully. Stuart thank you, clayton. Youve been with us as the technology. Im flattered you had me on the show, sky is the limit and youll be staying i id love to be on the new show. Stuart all right, ive got to update the violence in kiev, capital of ukraine. Ukraines president giving into pressure, the opposition leaders just signing an agreement that allows for early president ial elections to take place this year, thats a big deal. The deal promises to forge a National Unity government, ukraine will revert back to its 2004 constitution. The crisis for now, im going to say its calmed, okay . Thats the situation as we speak. Check the big board, weve got a 9, 10 point loss for the dow this friday morning, were at 161 as we speak. Next, oscar winning ben affleck has been called to congress to testify on the congo. What does he know about the congo . Well deal with it next though. Announcer where can an investor be a name and not a number . Scotade. Ron im never alone with scottrade. I can always call or stop by my local office. Theyre nearby and ready to help. So when i have questions, i can talk to someone who knows exactly how i trade. Because i dont trade li everybody. I trade like me. Thats why im with scottrade. Nouncer ranked highest in investoratisctio i trade like me. With sfdirected services by j. D. Power andssocias. Stuart ichl check the big board. We are dead flat, actually, up. 86. And how about the price of gold . I trust its above 1300 . Yes, its up 6 bucks. 1323 as of now. Suit problems . What suit problems . U. S. Speed skating and underarmor renewing their partnership for the 2022 olympics, next time around, and its up 108. Today the Obama Administration is expected to announce more cuts to the popular Medicare Advantage program, taking money away from it, away from seniors so it can pay for, what else . Obamacare. Our favorite conservative black chick is here. Crystal wright joining us again, from washington. I want you to explain it to us, im sure quite a few of our viewers enjoy Medicare Advantage and now, in what way is that being cut . Tell me. Well, apparently the president wants to rob from Medicare Advantage to pay for obamacare and we know that, remember way back when he did some funny accounting, stuart, where he actually took from medicaid, took the medicare cut and he applied them toward obamacare, that sounds like a lot of funny math to me, he cant take from one entitle program and pass it over to another. He counted it as what, savings, i think, in his budget. You know, its crazy. Stuart i cant believe that will be popular though. Because Medicare Advantage is a popular program. I mean, to allow seniors to extend coverage, i believe, they pay for a little of it and its subsidized, but its an extension of coverage for seniors. The optics on this are awful. Medicare advantage is like better coverage. Seniors pay more for Medicare Advantage because they Want Better Health insurance. So if im a senior and im sitting in, you know, my kitchen watching television, what the president is going to do, im probably going to be up in arms and not happen about it. Its just not good. This goes back to the problem with obamacare. You know what i tweeted the other day, democrats standing by obamacare reminds me of the quartet thats playing on the titanic as the ship sinks into the frozen waters and theyre still sporting it, right . With the election coming this year, theyre still supporting it. Ive got to move onto ben affleck. I believe next week hes testifying before a Senate Committee ands going to talk about the congo. Thats one Hollywood Star doing that and seth rogin, testifying on alzheimers. You know, at what point does this endless parade of hollywood people in front of the United States congress, whats going on here . Why are they doing this . Well, for some reason celebrities have gotten things very confused in their head and they actually think because of their celebrity theyre now experts on Foreign Policy and domestic policy. You know what i say . Why do we care about what celebrities think on anything political . Or law making procedures. Stuart but we do. No, i dont, the house doesnt. The house doesnt because they told ben affleck, no thanks, ben, weve got real experts on the congo to call to testify next week and not waste taxpayer money. The reality is, im going to say this and be offensive to people, a lot of celebrities dont have a high school education, why do we carr what they think, wake up, america, please. Stuart youre right. Were putting them in front of congress for what they think, not for what they know. No. Stuart i mean, who is the lady, darryl hannah, she didnt go before congress, shes a star and protesting the pipeline. You know what they do . They use their dollars to get behind causes, but they dont like you said they have no real knowledge, theyre putting their celebrity weight and money behind a cause that they know very little about. Seth rogin may have a Family Member who suffers from alzheimers, im all about putting focus on illnesses, but not trying to profess and you know, represent yourself as an expert. I think its good to have an awareness, thats where the buck should stop with the celebrities. Stuart youre right. Because its about the money. This is a Financial Program and you hit the nail right on the head, right on the money, thank you, i hope you can join us at some time for our new time 11 to 1. I hope youll be there. I will, you have to call and ill be there. Thanks. Stuart now this, wait a second, hold on for a second. Just look at the big board. Now were up 24 points, okay, not bad. 16, 157. Its friday morning, up 25, 26 points, a Little Movement there. Now this, gun manufacturers, yeah, they produced a Record Number of firearms in 2012. Up 31 over the year before. All that talk about gun control, it helped them, didnt it . Well deal with that next. Plus, another Varney Company trivia question. In which newly Oil Rich State did Charles Payne once serve in the u. S. Air force . No, it was not puerto rico. The answer is next. All right. We asked you in which newly rich oil state did Charles Payne serve in the u. S. Air force. The answer is north dakota. Didnt you. Charles yeah. Stuart i bet you stood out . I did stand out a little bit. [laughter] which by the way has its pros and cons. Stuart ill bet it does. Charles i had a great time up there to be honest with you. Stuart its cold, isnt it . All of this polar vortex stuff is for wimps. By the end of the winter in north dakota, i was wearing a tshirt in 40 degree weather. Stuart youre a tough guy. Remember we asked the National Rifle association wane lapierre if the president would crack down on gun control. If he gets a second term, its katie bar the door. Theyre trying to get past this election and i guarantee you, what about sales . Oh, sales were way up as well. Here is what i watched the fbi data how many people register for hand gun permits. In december of 2008, 2009, 2010, 1. 5, 1. 4 million. December of 2012, after the election, to waynes point, 2. 8 Million People. Stuart it doubled . 2. 8 million, it doubled. People are afraid, theyve been afraid. Ironically, now there have been some Court Decisions that held, particularly some local areas tried to force the draconian gun laws out there and so some of the gun maker stocks are actually starting to pull back, tough comparisons, strum ruger, up annually. And and smith wesson, annually. Stuart existing home sales numbers, well break those for you in a couple of minutes. Plus, take a look at this. Babe ruths World Championship watch from 1923. Once believed to have been lost, now weve got it, its up for auction. Will it go for a Million Dollars . I dont know, but were going to show it to you. Its here on the set moments from now. Sometimes they just drop in. Always obvious. Cme group can help you navigate skand capture opportunities. Enable you to reach Global Markets and drive forward with broader possilities. Cme group how the world advances legs, for crossing. Feet. Splashing. Better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. If youre trying to ma, now may be time to ask about xeljanz. Xeljz tofacitinib is a small pl, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. Xeljanz can lower yr ability to ght infections, including tuberculosis. Seris, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. Dont start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. Tears in the stomach or intestines, low bodell counts and higher liver tes an cholesterol levels have happened. Your doctor should perform blood tts before you start and while taking xeljanz, and roinely check certain liver tests. Tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungainfections are common, and if you have had tb, hatitis b oc, or are prone to infections. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. Taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. Ask if xeljanz is right for you. Of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. We dont back down. We only know one direction up so were up early. Up late. So wethinking up. Gamechanging ideas, like this dozens of tax free zones across new yk state. Move here. Expand here. Or start a new business here. And pay no taxes for 10 years.

Then we have a lucia lady. Would you do that . She meddled in sochi. Would you do that . Trying to put me out of business. Babe ruths 1923 world series watch. They did not get rings back then. It is up for auction. We have it here. A Camera Company with crazy video like this. They are going public. Charles payne calls it a Great American success story. Monica crowley is here. Wait untillyou hear what the irs is up to now. Okay. Okay. I am what i am doing here is i am giving you the existing home sales numbers. They are not good. 4. 62 million homes being sold on an annualized basis. That is the annualized selling rate for existing homes. Jason, 4. 62 million. I ssy that is a bad week number and you say . I agree, stuart. We saw a 12 increase year over year. That is not healthy, organic growth. We had artificial growth. I think that a lot of ordinary people cannot get a loan. They cannot get these very attractive mortgages. The banks will not lend to them. They cannot get the loans, so they cannot buy. Interest rates have risen up above four and a half percent. Stuart could this be explained away by the weather . You and i were freezing our butts off. California, michigan, california saw a 15degree increase on average. Stuart it does not explain the whole problem with housing. You had a prolonged recovery. We are still not out of the woods. As the plug gets pulled and the fed tapers, Interest Rates will rise even higher. Stuart that is interesting. When this report was announced that 4. 62 million homes being sold on an annualized basis. The dow was up about 30 odd points. Now it is up 55. We have a case of bad news on the Housing Market. Do you make anything of that . I think the good news is that we have a lot of international and foreign money. Look at the commercial real estate market. It recovered in 2010. There was no government intervention. In the Housing Market, we had all of these programs. With the intervention, investors did not see a bottom to the marketplace. Stuart fascinating. You can come back if you would like. Thank you. Checked the big board. Look at this. We are up 55 points now. Talking about markets. Next week every day i will bring you the real halftime report. That will be 12 45 p. M. Eastern. The actual midpoint of the trading day. The real halftime report. Tac is king. I have several examples of that today. Google is working on a new Smart Phone Technology that could build a 3d model for your surroundings. Google is at 1206 right now. Take a look at facebook. The day after the big whats app. It is huge in spain, india, brazil, hong kong. Facebook approached 70 a share earlier. Backing up a bit now. 68. 99. Please. Look at priceline. You have a new high. Look at that. 1317. Up 34. Almost one dozen bigname retailers, including j. Crew, ralph lauren, neiman marcus, they are putting their products on amazon with links to their own website. That is a huge extension. The stock has gone up. 352. Speaking of retailers, charles has one he thinks we should buy. It is restoration hardware. Charles these guys make the big furniture. Here is a company, they were public. They did not operate well. They came back public again. They have been a victim of their own success. Samestore sales were up 29 . That was not enough for wall street. Earnings per share were up 57 . They have given this guidance. Nothing in the way of getting to 68. I am looking at it going to 80 plus. They will continue to do extraordinarily well. All right, charles. Lets move on. We have more trouble for the irs. The inspector generals audit finds 39 of irs employees are not reporting their taxable income on longterm trips. They are supposed to make sure that you are doing that. Monica crowley is eager to go at this. This comes on the heels of a report we got about a year or so ago. So many employees not paying their federal and state income taxes. Now we are getting this story that they are not reporting taxable income trips and things that they are supposed to be. If you tried that, stuart, they would be on your tail so fast. Stuart here is the big picture for a second. It has been in the headlines for quite some time. It has dropped off the radar screen. I say the democrats, the president , they have gotten away with this. Drop this under the table and forget about it. We have a corrupt media that refuses to investigate. Stuart there is no smoking gun. To my knowledge you need an investigation to determine whether or not there actually is one. Lois lerner took a number of other top officials. Stuart we will see. To nicole. Under armour. The u. S. Skating team. Nicole what a story for this speedskating and under armour. Under armour is up 3. 7 . Hitting a new record high of 111. 90. The Speedskating Team has been expanded through the 2022 olympics. Originally, they were saying they were not winning medals because of the under armor suits. They switch to other suits and may still were not winning. The last time they won medals was 1984. Stuart ouch. I want everyone to take a look at this video. Two men rescue a deer on a frozen lake in minnesota and recorded with their go pro camera. It used the video in an ad that went viral. That looks to me like a winwin, charles. The deer gets rescued, go pro get the video. Go pro is going public. You cannot beat that. Charles 2001, he was licking his wounds. He was starting a social gaming site. It did not do anything. It was dead. He said it would be nice if i had a waterproof camera. The funny thing is he gets out a regular camera. He just built it into this company. It is an amazing story of someone who had an idea of an entrepreneur that did not give up. Some of the stuff was really funny. There it is right there. Stuart snorting around the camera. That is publicity. They get all of these videos that go viral that end up promoting the product. Felix baumgartner was equipped with all of these products on him. They release that video a few weeks ago. Stuart it is just a camera. That is what it is. You become a public company. There is a play on this already. They make the chip that goes into this camera. Any of the competitors can use the chip as well. You learn a lot on this program. Stuart reporting a tax bonanza. Legal pot. Expected to add 1 million to state annually. The legal pot sales could reach a billion dollars in the next fiscal year. With recreational sales making 10 million of that. After the break, a piece of sports history. Babe ruths world series watch from the Yankees First championship in 1923 hitting the auction block. We have it live on the set. First, more trivia. On our last day before we moved to 11 00 a. M. Eastern. Which Company Member highfived Mother Teresa and graded the forbes 100 most powerful women list . Good bloody luck, stuart. He wants to get up early and watch tv anyway . See you then. Stuart that was good. Two full hours. Start monday. Our trivia answer. We asked which Company Member wants highfived Mother Teresa. If you are a regular viewer, the answer is elizabeth macdonald. She is here. If i walked by a church, i would burst into flames. I delivered her heart medicine to her in calcutta. She was trying to give me a blessing on my four head. Like an idiot, i accidentally highfived her. Iran back to my hotel room ccying into my pillow. Mother teresa, i do not think she got espn or the sports channel over there. The story gets worse. My sisters tortured me about it after that. It is a fun story. Stuart i have to move onto something much more serious. I will talk about julie blum struck. She is a mother diagnosed with cancer. Dropped from her obamacare plan. She is fighting back. She has made an antiobamacare add. Here is what she told fox news megan kelly about her ordeal last night. The 6000 is a lot of money. Money i do not have that i cannot just have a service. Have a test on. I just do not have it in the bank. Stuart okay. We have seen this story before, stuart with other cancer victims. It is almost as if they do not have insurance at all. They only have a certain time slot to get their treatment in before it turns dire. The fact that this is happening right now, we are seeing the leading edge of a potential trend taking this country. People have to pay more to get the doctors they need. This is a lifethreatening situation right now, stuart. Stuart i history for you. Four decades, it was thought to be lost. It has been found. It will be auctioned tomorrow night. Chris ivy is with us. He is with heritage auctions. I can hold this. It is a piece of history. I will not pawn it. Do not worry. Stuart i cannot there you go. Get the flash off of it. How was it found . It was never really lost. We just did not know where it was. It was a very important year for the yankees. They won their first championship that year. Stuart it was called the world series then. 1923. Stuart my head is spinning with this baseball trivia. Not too long ago, you brought us one of those hockey jerseys from the 1980 russia games. It ended up that 650,000. The whole ensemble, he got over 1. 1 million for the three items. Stuart i am telling you, that is 1 million bucks. I am doing my best to help you out here. Is the extra money you get commissionable . We appreciate it. Good luck with the auction. The fed has released documents from its meetings. They are currently up on the feds website. Our team in d. C. Pouring over them. If they find anything worth reporting, and i am sure they will, we will bring it to you. Can you imagine . We have the documents. That is interesting stuff. I have a special might take for you today. It is a thank you to our viewers for making it a success. I will tell you why you watch. First, more trivia.

[ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system, only from xfinity. Tv and internet together like never before. Stuart before the break we asked what do i hate so much that i say if one of my kids did it, they would get kicked out of the will. Here is the answer. Tattoos. I hate them. If one of my kids get them, they are out of the will. They get nothing. [laughter] stuart i mean it, sandra. You will know that we are moving. One more time. Monday we start at 11 00 p. M. Eastern. This is the finance company you have been seeing for years. This is the varney and company we hope you keep watching. You will never hear about you but tariq or qe or any of that nonsense that we hear elsewhere. We do not confuse. We clarified. When we bring you a new story, we want everyone to know exactly what we are talking about. Were keeping the the buzzer handy. Our guest will answer the questions that we ask. Have you noticed how many politicians answered the question they want you to ask that the one you actually did ask. That may be okay elsewhere. It is not okay here. If they persist with nonanswers they will never be back. I am sure you have noticed this is a very different kind of Financial Program. We do not spend much time on the Federal Reserve or trend bond yields. No. Our focus is on what is new. That is technology. Google, apple, facebook, apple, twitter, 3d printing, Everything Else that is moving our world. That is where the money is flowing. I do not care how old you are. What these youngsters are doing with technology is fascinating. You can make money on it. Yes, we spent a lot of time on politics and issues. That is because they are important to you and your money. As president obama fundamentally change america . Yes, he has. Our judgment will be a large part of it in the future. We do not always sound like america. You do not seem to care. By the way, i am working on that. Charles is my voice coach. See you monday at 11 eastern. Stuart get this, foodstamp use at an alltime high for the second straight year. 47. 6 Million People received assistance. The economy is approving says the president. If that is the case, why are so many people getting food stamps. You have an answer for that one, sandra . There is a rising amount of abuse tied to this. I just did a little test for myself. I googled food stamps. Guess what pops up on local news outlets across the country. Food stamps illegally being sold on social media. Investigations in charlotte. The abuse of these food stamps is a rising problem. We continue to see a Record Number of them handed out. Stuart i do not see why we have a Record Number of people taking this. You cannot rely on that 1 fraud late. It is based on the reporting. Stuart march madness just around the corner. Set davis is going to tell us who will win it. First, the Football Team at northwestern university. They want to unionize. I think that is a way of Getting College athletes to get paid. A roundabout the way. My question to you is, should they be paid . The correct question is should they be paid more. College athletes are very well compenssted right now. It is a major loss for a university. Stuart at the athletes are bringing in millions of dollars. Football and basketball. Dont you think they should get a little bit of it . Not in a form of a tuition free bee, but cash, money. There is something called professional sports. If they want to go play, then you are allowed to leave college and be a professional if that is what you want to do. What the northwestern Football Players are doing is very good. They are getting the short end of the stick and a bottle of things. I would not compensate them as professionals. Over 90 of colleges lose money on college athletics. The notion that they are making millions of profits is factually inaccurate. You are totally wrong on this. The big names in college basketball. They have not been doing so well recently. I am thinking of syracuse. They lost at home to boston college. Michigan state lost to nebraska. Duke lost last night to north carolina. There is actually a postseeson playoff. If you lose a bad game in the season, you are not knocked out. Stuart who will win march madness . Beats me. I always wonder how may times i can get this question robbie for people stop asking me to predict. Stuart i think that this team will win. Michigan state. You obviously like them also. Stuart you learn a lot on this program. This is my christmas tie held onto february. I am going to ask you about what i think is it is a Financial Program. I think you are making a huge contribution to the financial world. You are part of an internet delivered network of sports broadcasting, your signal does not go out over the cable.

It took you a long time to come up with the name of it . The seth davis show. You can do a great interview on television and the people do not see it when it is on the air.

Charging them with multiple counts of arson and Violent Crimes. We have used the term union folks before. It is an acronym for the helpful union guys. Here is jillian. What exactly were they doing here . They were using Violent Crime and vandalisms to completely corner they allegedly went to toys r us where they were using contractors. Beat someone with a baseball bat. Physically assaulted. Stuart this is a pr disaster for the union movement. They used the word dog. This is exactly what they were trying to get away from. It is extremely colorful. He actually wishes he has cancer so he could show up at a site. It is incredibly violent. I think that this Ironworker Union is not the exception. Stuart you have read the indictment. I have. Yes. Stuart this is what you wrote. Yes. I did an investigation. It was really interesting for me reporting on it. Contractors were so nervous and so intimidated that they were afraid to go on record. I know that some of their leadership was making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. I am not surprised. I think it is the first of many to come. And ongoing investigation. Stuart we thank you very much for joining us. Keep us up to date. After the break, olympic luger.

Olympic bronze medalist joins us now. Welcome to the program. I have a couple of questions right up front. What difference does it make going feetfirst or headfirst and why do you do it anyway . Go. Going feetfirst is a lot harder. We are usually not looking where we are going. I have not crashed. Everyone in the sport made it through the season without crashing. Stuart your colleague who is on the show just a few days ago, she does i think she goes down headfirst. She won a medal. She will make a lot of money out of kellogg. You have a bronze medal going down feetfirst. The team has great suppliers and sponsors. You know, we are not here for the paycheck. Our u. S. Olympic committee is only one not government funded in the world. We are able to have great corporate sponsors that keep us going. One of them as Devry University that helps me get an education.
