. stuart: i'm going to call snapchat a millennial company because it is 20 somethings who created it. they run it. they use it. it's worth $10 billion. look at this. coach, ralph lauren, smuckers, best buy, garmin are too worth $10 billion but you heard of all of them. jolene kent is here to justify $10 billion on snapchat which hasn't yet i believe made a single dime. justify. >> i'm here to tell why you this may have happened, stuart. what's interesting is you have cleiner perkins investing up to $20 million back in may. there may be another investor. a lot of serious interest in the potential monetization. stuart: serious interest. potential monetization. that's what we need to remember. snapchat, i send a message to you on snapchat. you receive it and it disappears in 10 seconds. >> it's really fun. i'm not an active snapchater, there are people who are older than millennial generation who are enjoying it. a good way to share. stuart: you think i in my geriatric years are going enjoy it. >> you have the potential. stuart: you tell me you have the potential to monetize that. how do you get money out of a message that disappears in ten seconds? >> there is video chatting on snapchat. different ways to communicate. there are rumors more features are coming, more ways that news organizations can collaborate as well. evan spiegel, the 24-year-old ceo is meeting with media executives. you're talking about a potential platform with connected verticals. stuart: 24 years old, evan spiegel. >> 24. stuart: do you know how much he owns of snapchat? >> a good chunk of it. he's based in l.a. if you have the silicon beach phenomenon expanding as well, l.a. is a booming place for tech. snapchat leading the way there. stuart: it employs 35 people. >> 35 lucky people if the valuation goes up and they get acquired. stuart: if the valuation goes up, it's worth 10 billion. you want more? >> i don't want anything, stuart. stuart: you have whatsapp, 19 billion. uber 18 billion. snapchat 10 billion and rising. i could make the case that is an app bubble. very similar to the dot com bubble of the 1990s. tell me i'm wrong. >> i'm not here to talk valuation, just like jolene. it's notable this is one of two legs of the economy driving us forward giving us the 2% growth. it's silicon valley and the innovation going on there and the innovation in the energy industry. i'm thrilled to see animal spirits in silicon valley creating the new applications, that's fantastic. just get government out of the way and get somebody new in the white house and we'll create it. stuart: throw this out to both of you. you refuse to answer the question is it an app bubble. i put it to you snapchat hasn't made a single dime. doesn't it remind you of the dot comes of the 90s which relied on eyeballs for the valuation. >> i'll say this about the bubble. we are talking about the internet of things. other companies that are valued around $10 billion, uber, airbnb, these are services, right? unlike the bubble of the late 1 0, we're looking at an economy that is becoming fully integrated. this is how we communicate. just not an option but a large sector of -- >> yes, remember, when this happens too, it forces old line industries to innovate. look at our business world columnist, he wrote about a company called data miner extracting a lot of value out of twitter which we didn't know was there but may force news organizations to change, too. it's not just about the app industry, it's what the app industry is doing to other industries around it. stuart: fair point. i'm interested in trying to explain to our audience which may not have much contact with snapchat, why it's worth so much? and is it a parallel with the dot com bubble which burst dramatically? >> some of the companies survived and made a lot of money. stuart: not many of them. >> one point, they may very well be overvalued, no doubt about it. in terms of a bubble overall talking about technology, most are not watching. stuart: tell me about square, valued at 6 billion. what do they do? >> we're just throwing around billions, this is great. square is a company interesting to watch. they do mobile payments. you plug the square into the phone, you can exchange money. they are getting traction here, square is a company to watch because they've had operational cost issues in the past, in the not too distant past. this is good product. stuart: they have a good product. >> intellectual property is good too, stuart. you don't have to hold it in your hand to be valuable. >> it is there, stuart. stuart: no, no, no, we have two hours. more on this. jolene, excellent stuff, you are making me see the light. well done, kent. >> thanks, varney. stuart: tonight, 6:00 eastern, charles payne will tell you how to make money on snapchat even though it is a private money. "making money" tonight 6:00 eastern with charles. fbn. check out big board, where are we in wednesday, lunchtime in new york. 13, 14 points higher for the dow industrials, up against 17,120. look at the s&p 500 first time closed above 2,000 yesterday, right at 2,000 today. tiffany, the rich, offer 20%, they are spending money. buying stuff at tiffany. tiffany expects it to keep buying stuff. at 102, up 2%. gold, not much movement there, 1283. we keep an eye on the interest rate barometer, the yield on the ten-year treasury, near historic lows, down today by the way, inexplicable to me. 237 is the yield. smith & wesson taking a big hit, is this because people are not buying rifles? is that the story? >> yes and no, i'm going to give you the whole story. last year the stock was up 60%. gun enthusiasts were rushing tout buy pistols, rifles because they were concerned about more regulation from the government after high-profile shootings, right? we've talked about this so many times. most recently sales have been down particularly for sporting rifles, but i think some of that inventory buildup that smith & wesson saw and stern rueger is because a lot of the gun enthusiasts rushed to do purchases. stocks were up 60% each last year, pulling back this year. a seasonality issue in the summer. you don't see the sales numbers pop in the summer. that's what they say. so we'll continue to watch it going forward. but they cut the forecast, but as i noted, a lot of people ran in there and did do their purchases. today a little tough time for smith & wesson. but a great few years. two years ago it was up almost 100%. stuart: it was. down 13% today. thank you. foreign policy can still move this market. so here's the latest on isis. reportedly they are demanding 6 $1/2 million to release a 26-year-old american woman held hostage in syria. she has not been publicly identified. she is an aide worker. a chicago born american named douglas mcarthur mccain died fighting with isis militants in syria. colonel ralph peters is with us. hard for me to get a grip on. i don't remember many americans fighting with the enemy in previous wars, but now they're joining isis by the hundred. this to me, is inexplicable. do you have an explanation for this? >> actually, americans unfortunately have fought for the bad guys. in world war ii, a lot of ethnic germans did fight for the nazis. amazing to find any gap in your knowledge, stuart. you are always so on top of things. stuart: i'm trying to say look, inexplicable. they are born into american culture, into british culture and they are beheading people? what's going on? >> it's ugly, and there's no excuse for it. you got to keep it in the perspective, though. we estimate 300+, around 300 american-born jihadis active with isis in syria and iraq. that is one in a million. they're not raised muslim. beware the convert. converts are the most zealous people. i tell people we absolutely must worry about the guys coming home and making mischief on our own soil. in the meantime, worry about the weird kid with no girlfriend, living in mom's basement spending the day patrolling bomb making and jihadi sites. you are seeing a phenomenon of lost souls and the jihadis are very good at recruiting lost souls. stuart: do you think we are defending our values in a muscular enough way? i think america, europe, britain, we are the product of a judeo-christian culture for a couple of thousand years. we have freedom, we have liberty. we have a concept of who we are. we are free people. are we not defending ourselves and pushing ourselves forward fast enough and far enough and strongly enough? are we at fault here? >> yes, you are absolutely right. conservatives turned the education system over to the left, and you get what you pay for here, folks. and people self-segregate. conservatives go with the financial industries and the business and the military. the left goes into education, and so our children are raised up to believe that america's bad, our history is one of exploitation and somehow all cultures are equal except ours which is less equal than others. you know who it doesn't take for? interesting some of the most patriotic americans are immigrants, including muslim americans. don't worry about the muslim pediatrician in the clinic. worry about the converts and the disaffected youth. despite the denigration of our culture of our judeo-christian her the nadge universities and the schools. we have a much smaller problem than europe does for a couple reasons. one, we got the educated muslims, the doctors, the lawyers, the physicists. europe got the proletariate. united states is the land of dreams, muslim, jew, hindu, it doesn't happen in france or germany. it's tough to have it happen in england. we should be proud of our culture, recognize that muslim americans aren't the problem the european muslims are, but at the same time, obviously have to watch for the bad apples. stuart: real fast, colonel, i want to play you a sound bite from former 9/11 commission chair tom cane and get your reaction. >> i don't know of any active plot either. talk privately to the intelligence agencies both present and past, they're scared. they don't know who the people are. that american who blew themselves up as the suicide bomber come into the united states in between and gone back, we didn't know it. stuart: he says he's on the inside of intelligence services, he's spoken to people in the business and says they are scared. he used that word. your response? >> well, i'm also somewhat plugged in. i'll use the word concerned or alarmed because the administration has so neglected the threat, and you have a finite number of intelligence assets. and they go where the president wants them to go where, he's concerned. even though the intelligence community wanted to watch islamic state formerly isis or isil, the white house contradicted the narrative, but, yes, we should be very, very concerned. the threat today from islamic state in the protocaliphate is much graver, richer, more numerous, more aggressive and brutal than al qaeda was. stuart: we hear you and thank you as usual for coming on the show again today. >> always a pleasure, stuart. stuart: yes, sir. up next, the makers of the v-view cop camera. if the police officer who shot michael brown had been wearing one of these, we could have seen a different outcome in ferguson. cent right at 37. big number on the budget, increase more than 85% in the next ten years. that would include medicare, medicaid and obamacare. up 85%. next from the cbo, income tax receipts up 97 billion dollars. corporate tax receipts up 14%. the tax money rolling in but we're still keep that deficit at historically high levels. numbers just out at 10:00 eastern. here's the question, going back to the initial confrontation between michael brown and officer darren wilson. if the officer had been wearing a body camera, would things have developed differently? with us on the set today, steve lovell, the president of vievu which makes the cameras suitable for wearing by police officers. you are wearing one right now. >> yes. stuart: what you are putting out from the camera appears right here on a smartphone sitting right next to me. you point that thing at me and i see this? >> that's correct. stuart: so you market the cameras to police officers around the country, police forces? >> vievu we manufacture and design wearable cameras and primary market is the law enforcement. stuart: what you want them to do is wear those things while they're on duty, everything is recorded, audio as well? >> accurately and efficiently documents their day. stuart: digital quality? >> hd as well. resolution is selectable. stuart: where is the video storeed? >> localized at the industry or we have a cloud based storage model that agencies can utilize. stuart: so police officers, people in the law enforcement business can access that record of a confrontation from anywhere at any time if they can get into your storage system? >> that is correct. we track all activity. at the end of the day, this evidence is they're recording. we have to have the chain of custody. stuart: are you selling to any police forces yet? >> vievu is a market leader. we have 80% market share in the public safety market. 20% of police officers deployed. stuart: more police officers wear your cameras than tasers? >> that's correct. stuart: really? that stock went straight up, you know. >> they reacted well to the incident two weeks ago. vievu we're made by cops for cops company. this law enforcement camera, everything we design is from our experience. i served 20 years at oakland, california, and i understand what the guys in the crown vic go through. stuart: you're a former police officer? >> yes, oakland, california. stuart: how much for the camera? >> only 349. stuart: how much for the storage, that's expensive? >> storage costs can rise, based on how long the agency wants to hold the records, that would be dependent. and obviously the number of cameras they have deployed. stuart: let's suppose i wanted to -- trying to put a dollar number on the cost of storage, that can be prohibitive. you can give me an average cost of storage for the police officers who have the cameras now? >> if we store locally, the cost to store is relatively cheap. $15,000, we can build out the infrastructure. stuart: what do you get for $15,000? >> a client station, server, storage array, that will host data and be able to upload the cameras and manage the system. if you want to move to the cloud model, we have an average cost of 40 cents a gig that you store on the cloud. that can be totally managed by the agency which can control the costs which are the big things for the agencies. stuart: vievu, the name of it. >> privately held. stuart: when are you going public? >> we like to hold our cards close. get back to you on that one. stuart: look, thank you for joining us. we find this a very poignant product at this moment in time. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. stuart: good luck. i got my start in real television. 34 years ago when cnn first went on the air. fast-forward to today. things have changed. cnn telling staff to prepare for layoffs. even offering to pay some employees to quit. what went wrong?

the story is uber has their people go out and book rides on a main competitor and then cancel them to mess up lyft. we are kind of saying it is dirty tricks. we are saying maybe it is because your mom and dad never taught you right from wrong. >> number one, if that is what they are doing is booking rides and canceling them, it is obviously like guerrilla warfare. number one, that is what i think. it would be that. i think it crosses a line. i do not know if it is being brought up without moral guidance or whether the fact that this is a technology based company. these rides are booked through technology and you are not interacting with a driver, you are interacting with a bit of an avatar. stuart: you do not like technology. >> i think technology can humanize and i think technology can be human ties. not respect thing the boundaries. also, just the high road. kick the high road. i think one of the reasons is because when you play with technology you have to watch out for your soul. >> okay. i should remember that. >> great companies, by the way. stuart: middle school and high school students that tried and a cigarette. way more than three years ago. should we just let kids fade away?

>> no question there's an app bubble. more importantly the problem is how they value the companies. they're valuing per member at $30 per member. and this is what investment bankers are doing, they're doing to get more and more business. it is not sustainable, reminds me of the late 1990s. my daughter loves snapchat, kids love snapchat. if it doesn't make money, stay away from it. stuart: there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, two sides with the different opinions. apple stocks, record territory hit $102 a share this week. presplit -- michael, you say this is going to 1,000 bucks per share. >> we're talking 24 months out. i don't think it's a question if it's going hit a thousand, a question of when. these guys are doing everything right under the new ceo tim cook, owning the enterprise market for tablets. huge margins with the iphone, coming out with a product called continuity with unified computing where all of the devices will form their own ecosystem and communicate seamlessly. working on emerging markets, working on education markets, working with ibm for the enterprise class market and business applications. these guys throw off a lot of cash, huge margins, big dividend play, big stock buyback, bullish on apple. stuart: hold obefore we go to ed on apple. i want to ask you michael about ipad. they're working on a bigger ipad. 13" screen. what do you make of that?

you don't like retail stocks, do you? >> not at all. all the news is a daily thing, walmart misses numbers, target misses numbers, sears misses numbers, best buy is a tough secttor make money in. when you have all the choices, what you should put last on the buying list is retail stocks. stuart: i want to move to the drug sector because gerri willis is here with us. something that hits very close to home, that would be the expiration dates on drugs. gerri, welcome to the program. >> good to be here, i have been doing something else clearly. stuart: you've been avoiding us. >> not at all. i brought drugs. stuart: allev? that's a drug? >> these are my allergy meds. stuart: an expiration date on them? >> absolutely. you know what? it means nothing you. >> could take your allergy medicine way after the expiration date and it's fine, nothing happens to you? >> no science behind the idea that the drugs should be thrown out after 12 months or sometimes as much as four years. if you see -- the only study i've been able to find shows that these drugs are good a year to 5 1/2 years after the expiration date. 88% of drugs good 5 1/2 years after the expiration date. it's a dirty little secret of the pharmaceutical industry. it's required by the fda, the federal government to put an expiration date. they are superconservative. stuart: they like to do that. >> yes! >> you see the expiration date and say i can't take this stuff. better get new stuff, pay all over again. >> and pay out of pocket for everything from aspirin to very expensive pharmaceuticals that you get right at the drugstore. stuart: okay, that's drugs. want to go off base for a second. you buy a can of food and see the expiration is two months ago, you still eat it?

[ laughter ] >> stuart, it's a penicillin experiment for you. stuart: i was born in the late 1940s in england when we had rationing of food. we don't waste food. >> there's no fear. stuart: i don't live in fear of expiration dates. and if i see a little mold, it's penicillin, it's only penicillin, a little piece of bread, you toast it, eat it, you are fine. >> or cut it off. >> voice of reason right here. stuart: what time is your show? >> 5:00. stuart: what's it called? it's "the willis report." stuart: hope i'm still alive to watch it. [ laughter ] >> back to michael, he's still in san francisco. before you go, you say apple hits a thousand dollars, that would be a presplit price. where is it going from the 102? sort us out? >> $142.85 would get you to $1,000 a share on a split adjusted basis. thank you for letting me clear that up. >> i want to hear a time frame. $142.85 by when? >> 24 months from today. call it labor day two years from now. stuart: you say no? >> it could, i wouldn't be buying the stock. >> put money on that. michael, i'll put money on it. >> steak dinner. >> two years from now? like stuart if he has survived his bacteria on his bread. >> that will be the best filet mignon i had. stuart: bacteria stu will be back. thank you, everybody. isis raking in 2 million dollars a day from oil. this is all the more reason why we need to frack at home, isn't it? why is the administration dragging its feet? we'll ask. in our next hour, deirdre bolton why snapchat is not overvalued at $10 billion? even though it hasn't made a dime. "risk & reward" coming up at 1:00 p.m. eastern. >> i'm nicole petallides with your fox business brief. the dow jones industrial average up about 10 points at 17,117. the s&p 500 sitting right at that 2,000 mark. and the nasdaq composite setting a new 14 1/2-year high with utilities, telecom and health care leading the way on wall street. take a look at radioshack, up about 40% this week. 40%! that's because they may be getting rescue financing. stock is up 16 points, 2%, it would help them to avoid chapter 11. under armour, the analysts have been checking and noting that under armour gaining in footwear and gaining on the number two footwear maker adidas, number one is nike. in the midst of a deal with kevin durant. keep an eye on williams-sonoma and guess reporting after the bell. williams-sonoma near a high on the day. when your favorite food starts a fight fight back fast with tums. relief that neutralizes acid on contact... ...and goes to work in seconds. ♪ tum, tum tum tum tums! try great tasting tums chewy delights. yummy. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about?

>> no pumpkin in the psl, the pumpkin spice latte. who cares! it's a flavor. people get upset about this stuff, they are upset about something in the pumpkin spice latte, that's the caramel coloring. a very small amount. but if there is a lot of caramel coloring that could potentially be linked to cancer. so that is something that we're watching. also the internet is abuzz about another ingredient, the high fructose corn syrup. if you buy the syrup at home, there is the high fructose corn syrup in that. stuart: bad? >> apparently. stuart: in what way, do we know? >> i don't know. >> too much of it. if you're a latte addict, it could have cancer or sugar. stuart: this sounds like an internet buzz scare. >> yeah, i agree. well, the caramel coloring, some people are against that, but the no pumpkin, no pumpkin in pumpkin spice. it's the flavor. stuart: if i see the stock, i'll worry. back to isis and oil, the terror group makes we are told $2 million a day by selling oil that it drills within its own territory. so why doesn't president obama let us get out and frack for natural gas and for oil here in america? why doesn't he go gung ho for this. bring in russell gold, the author of the boom, which is all about fracking. russell, welcome back to the program. good to see you again. you've got to explain to me, you know about fracking, you know what's going on here, you've got to explain to me why does this administration not go gung ho to frack for more oil and gas which is ours? why not? >> what we see right now is that the administration isn't really putting its way behind it, but they're not getting in the way either. they're letting so much of this development and fracking going on in private lands in north dakota and texas, there's not that much in public land. you know, the administration is in a tough spot. stuart: so is america, for heaven's sake, isis making $2 million a day from oil? and that goes right into coffers to produce more terror? what does it take to get america to see that we should get our own? what is it going to take? >> let's keep this in perspective. during the time that president obama has been in office. the amount of oil we're producing in the united states is increased astronomically. texas up to 3 million barrels a day from one million barrels a day in 2008. just enormous increases, so it's very difficult for me to understand the argument that president obama is getting in the way of this. he might not be a cheerleader. stuart: he should be a cheerleader. that's my point. he should be. they're not fracking in new york state. not fracking in california. two of the biggest states with two under the ground reserves. they're not going after the gas and the oil. i want to see the administration get behind it. come on! what's wrong with them? >> well, you know, they're just a phone call away for you, stuart. stuart: i'm not blaming you. i know you're the messenger of this and i'm not blaming you, i'm trying to get my head in a place where i understand why? this administration, this country isn't going to get what is ours when we need it. >> well, remember that president obama actually got in favor of increasing amount of offshore drilling, wanted to lease on the east coast. this is a week before the deep water horizon explosion. maybe he feels when he promotes oil and gas development he's hands off, when he's hands off, good things happen. stuart: you got to get to your contacts russell. >> i'll work the phones. stuart: i'm not joking here. this is serious stuff. it's a great book and thank you very much for being on the show. liz, you wanted to say something? >> still a u.s. ban of exports and gas. if republicans get control of the senate, will the ban be lifted. stuart: production and export. production first. wind and solar farms get a get out of jail free card for killing birds. the traditional energy companies get fined for the same offense. what's going on?
