400 million people? that is tens of millions of watches. stuart: the watch is the big product. watch for apple top traded product, not a tv like a piece of glass. stuart: you you sticking google glass was fantastic, but you got one of your own. i don't think you are using it anymore. >> not as much. it is a frustrating products because they haven't fix the flaws in it. i can post a photo to instagram and i could keep going for an hour how many flaws this has. stuart: you are off of glass. w. mine is at home updating because they came up with another update. i am getting more skeptical if they don't fix the flaws but there is a big global conference coming in a month or two and that will be the real touch point. stuart: thank you very much indeed. let's get to nicole petallides. zynga, the phantom pigs people. >> talking about farm ville and the like. this is a volatile stock. right now it is down 3.7%. in the after hours yesterday it was lower by 4%, then higher by 4%. we are going to have a little changing of the guard here. pinkus, the founder of zynga will hold his role as chairman of the board of directors. the other gentleman who they hired from microsoft x box division came on board in july, he will be taking over the operational roles pinkus used to do. initially there was a nice pop in the stock on this one. you do see pinkus relinquishing his division and the analysts raised their target. stuart: they will always be the phantom pigs people to me. that is the way it is. check the big board's, we're 18 points, we turned positive and hour ago. a record watch for the dow, an all-time closing high. charles says the rest of the world's is on fire. look at caterpillar, a global company, they have done very well what they're doing outside the united states, the stock is up 2%, 1:05. we're looking at the nasdaq, snapped a 6 day winning streak today. look at it today up 25 points. jetblue pilots overwhelmingly agree to unionize. they were one of the last major airlines to have non-union pilots. joining us is the founder of jetblue. welcome back, good to see you. i can't believe you are happy about this unionization. >> i am down in brazil, started a great airline down there and yesterday we started -- is one of these things that the pilots, there were some issue, worried about if they merge with another airline how would their seniority be, there were other issues than pay. life goes on. stuart: you can't like it. you found it to. it is x huge success. you can't be happy about this. >> delta is a great airline. everyone else is a union. one of the facts of life. involved in management since 2007, it has been a long time. i think it is a great company still and the people are great and i talked to a lot of pilots and they had certain frustrations but life goes on. they voted one day and concluded the next. won't change a lot. stuart: sounds like you very much in the camp that says it happened, move on. >> exactly. stuart: when you want to get rid of this story. i know you started azuel brazilian airlines and you are expanding. you will be carrying a lot of people from brazil to the united states and back again. you are twisting the sunni expansion of brazil's middle-class. tell me about it. >> we started in brazil, there were 15 million domestic passengers in brazil, 200 million people, 50 million travelers. in the u.s. we have 300 million, 750 million travelers so it was really repress. because of high fares and lack of service so now there are 100 million people flying in brazil. that will go to 150 in the next five years. same thing with international traffic. fares have been high, service has not been great. we serve today 105 cities in brazil. our next closest competitor serve 51. that is one of the reasons we grew the market. now we will start -- in fort lauderdale, there is a lot of things we are doing. stuart: i am a soccer fan. 5 fly from new york to rio for example, catch a match or two and fly back and fly coach how much will you charge me for the round-trip? >> under $1,000. depends on the day. could be $600 round-trip, could be 1,000. depends on where you go. stuart: that is not bad. the best commercial offering you had in the last three minutes. thanks for joining us. we appreciate your time. >> by the end of the year you will be able to do it. stuart: i want the americans to win. forget -- after the break a real private, i mean really private texting apps. is being released. and would. we have the co-founder. we are talking real secrecy here. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month?

>> more polluting to transport oil by train or tanker or truck. the other thing not being discussed in this debate are the fatalities, train accidents and oil explodes that happen in north dakota or quebec. oil delivered by u.s. trains is what turkey consumed last year. that amount they are delivering is up 40 times what was in 2008. we're talking victims' families that were basically hurt by oil accidents and to evacuate their towns in north dakota when a fireball emitted off of it. stuart: karl rove says delaying the pipeline until after the election is a dumb political move, a stupid move politically. that is what he said. you are saying moving that oil by rail car or truck is actually more dangerous than putting down a pipeline. and that has not been factored into the political equation laid out by the president. liz: thank you for capturing that and making clear that i said it. that is what i am saying. you already said if you get rid of the pipeline the oil will come to market anyway, refineries on the southern coast of the united states anyway. stuart: if it doesn't come here it will go to china. they will use that oil would you like it or not. it is called the snap chat for businesses by allowing users to send messages that can only be read when the words are tapped on the screen. the apps is called confide. joining us is john blood. describe for our viewers what it is. someone sends me a text message. i have got your apps. up pops the text message on the screen. i can only see it and read it, part of the message anyone time. someone leaning over my shoulder can't read the whole message. how do you deal with the screen grab. >> did a great job explaining. one more take at it. an important point is end an end encrypted. it goes across servers encrypted, couldn't read it if we wanted to which we don't. and a key on the recipient's phone. once that he is identified the one that takes place you get the message, and it is 20 to 25 characters at a time and what that does in addition to preventing someone from over the shoulder prevents screen shots and screen shot the problem with screen shots, makes an impermanent message permanent. stuart: so i won over it 20 characters and got press return, and -- >> once you close or reply it is gone, deleted from servers and wiped clean from the phone, no forwarding, no nothing. stuart: so if i inadvertently leave my little phone some place in public, the text message which i receive from somebody, very personal intimate message cannot be read by anybody else because i wanted and got rid of it. >> it is gone. stuart: when is it free? >> absolutely free. stuart: the sender and the recipient have to attack about the apps? >> if the recipient does not have the apps what happens is it sends an e-mail or text messages that says stuart varney sent you a confidential message, click here to read it which leads to download where you can read the message. from a business perspective it has an incredible what we call fire wall coefficient, one person who gets the apps leads to several people down the road getting the apps without us having to pay for marketing. stuart: when it is a free apps. i could make you money. got to have somewhere. >> raise 2 million the capital 20 days after relaunched, gives you a sense of excitement. stuart: using this. >> next couple years we are not focused on modernization but we think premium service is the best way to monetize. we have additional features and functionality for a fee. stuart: you are establishing yourself, getting a reputation through programs like this. wonderful. >> we are launching android so we lunch 100 days ago and started the company on apple, launching android today which we are incredibly excited about, 50% market share, 80% globally. despite the fact we didn't have android we are used in 110 countries. liz: can they still read those e-mails and texts? they are not doing that. >> it is encrypted with nothing to do with google and we had to code four android to ensure the encryption was the same level. stuart: not even the nsa can look at the message as it goes from there to here. they can't get in the middle and read it. it is totally incorrect and gone. you have competitors. both end encryption, other people could do that. >> overtime it will become more -- stuart: a few of you in the marketplace. >> what stands out is we are targeting business people and professionals. it is text based rather than photo based. we have encryption in the privacy and screen shot protection. that is important. stuart: i have a reputation for asking tricky questions. >> i am ready. stuart: would you sell your stake in this company whatever the state is? would you sell right now to me for $100 million? >> no chance. this is going to be a massive massive business. stuart: would you sell today for $1 billion? >> we can talk about it later. everybody has of rice. 2 billion users doing social mobile messaging sending 75 trillion messages, what's app sold for $19 billion. this is a huge market. stuart: when you got your eye on the prize, looking at $10 billion, i know you are. >> will focus that want to light our consumers a long way. stuart: i just give you a fantastic commercial. a piece of the action here. >> we will talk about after the show. stuart: the name again is confide, a free, totally secret texting apps. thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. up next the woman attacked by a pet duck. sous for $275,000. my take on that after this. ♪ can you start tomorrow?

that is where loser pays'. most of the world has the english rule precisely to avoid this kind of lawyering. if the english rule were in effect here suits like this would never be filed. the court system which we have to pay for would not be so clogged. the law would get a little more respect. do not hold your breath. there will be no loser pays rule while the left is in power in america. why? because lawyers are one of the largest contributors to democrats and especially president obama. why do you think there's no tort reform in obamacare? they bought him off. the duck is dead. it's a owner has to defend herself with a lawyer years after the so-called attack and respect for the rule of law goes down the drain. that is my take. i've always had to keep my eye on her... but i didn't always watch out for myself. with so much noise about health care, i tuned it all out. with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile, not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still gonna give me a heart attack. innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. why relocating manufacturingpany to upstate new york?

>> millions of dollars for graffiti artists. this week in london, seven pieces, expected to fetch $250,000 each to $1.7 million each. buyer beware when this option does start because they haven't acknowledge any of the pieces. stuart: some of the stuff i am looking at in the picture doesn't look like graffiti. it looks like -- >> he does a lot of stenciling of sorts. i was walking home one day. there's a group of people around a fire hydrant and there was a piece of art, that is how i learned he is in huge demand, popular, all sorts of different types of art, but he is not recognizing, saying it is his so why are you paying all that money for something you don't know is legitimate? he paints on buildings, on walls and oftentimes the building owner gets mad and paint over it or people come in and rip out that part of the wall and it raises a lot of concerns and that makes it more desirable to have this art because it is so controversial. stuart: whatever you say. makes it more desirable because it is so controversial. that looks like a skull picture, the one with the guys around what looks like a telephone box or something. stuart: >> you are not into it. stuart: absolutely not. next case, the dow is up 18 points. are we sharing too much information?

knowing this of and selling it? >> people have been stocked on facebook. if you have a face book page and don't track it someone could pose an embarrassing vote you from your high school days they don't want up there. you have to stay on top of that. john: i still say big deal. all they can do is say things. government can put you in jail or take your money. government gets these forces. stuart: it always comes back to that. you hate government but don't mind -- john: is the truth. there is a couple and some poor young woman it is inferred by facebook the couple is going to break up. she goes to the guy and says what is this? you are going to break up with me? this is outrageous. what are you up to? you are ok with this? >> it creates a dialogue. the main point is i am told facebook has this information. they are not giving it out. it might leak at some point but they are getting more info all the time. stuart: in the case of a pregnant young lady of leaked to her father for 7's sake. >> sent coupons to her house. and coupons for aspirin to the father. stuart: what is the point of your show tonight?
