Even secretary of state john kerry is jumping on the Climate Change band wagon. Roll it. In a sense Climate Change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the worlds most fearsome weapon of mass destruction. Charles and called the Climate Change deny the flat earth he society. This is leading up to a big giant tax. Everything is a big giant tax with the democrats concerned. This is a slap in the face to everyone who died in 9 11, all the emergency workers that went in, anybody affected by terrorism. For him to sit there and say because the sun is a little too hot according to al gore is the same thing as a terrorist coming in and spreading fear and havoc amongst us. I think that john kerry should be ashamed of this company and i hope he gets the backlash, this is an irresponsible comment. Charles the president of the United States said in the state of the Union Address said there is no Climate Change debate. This is a man made phenomenon and we must do something about it right now, wink, wink, higher taxes, higher fuel bills and energy bills. Thats one thing we know about this president he only watches i guess one news source because every other news source is still having the debate, especially those reliable like the one were on. Charles i hear you. Stimulus working, right . Not if you look at the participation rate. It was 65. 8 back in february of 2009. It fell to 63 last month, 800 billion dollars later. Thats what weve got. At least the president thought it was funny. Roll this. Shovelready was not as shovelready as we expected. Charles and president obama got a nice chuckle out of that. And lets go to peter barnes in washington where theyre still arguing whether stimulus worked or not. Peter, whats going on . Well, charles, five years ago today president obama signed his 787 billion dollars economic stimulus bill into law and five years later the debate still rages about its effectiveness. The president and Many Democrats say it helped to bring the economy back from the brink of another great depression, helped to save or create millions of jobs that might have otherwise been lost. Republicans and critics say it spent money on the wrong things. Did little for significant job creation and unnecessarily burdened the taxpayers with more Government Debt and cost more than originally estimated. 830 billion dollars. Critics note among other things it helped invest in Companies Like solyndra which went bankrupt and cost taxpayers over 500 million. They say that the stimulus act did not bring unemployment down to 5 by the end of 2013 as promised in this famous chart we all saw. Remember that . I remember that. You got it. It was 6. 7 at the end of the year and charles, one of the architects of the plan, white house economist christina roamer said that in late 2012 her biggest regret about the stimulus bill, it wasnt big enough. Charles well, you know what . Peter, here is the thing, there was nothing newdealish about it and nothing that stands out with that respect. It wasnt eisenhower, roads, projects which we were told or hinted it would be. There was no hoover dam. There is nothing you can really pinpoint as a success and af i got to tell you the white house put out a report and put out a new metric. 6 million job years. So, thats a fulltime job that lasts for one year. So, essentially theyre saying they created a bunch of temporary jobs. We have a term in washington, its called mego. It means my eyes glaze over. Charles i hear you. A lot of things have glazed over recently. Peter, nice see you. Charles, thanks. Charles yes, the markets may be closed, but there are big headlines out there. How about this one, a possible tesla Apple Partnership . Were going to explain next. [ male announcer ] a body at rest tends to stay at rest. While a body in motion nds to stay in motion. Staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. But if you he arthritis, this can be difficult. Prescription cebrex can help relieve arthritis pain and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. Because just one 200mg cebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. And its not a narcotic. You and your doctor should balance t benefits with the risks. All prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. They all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have Heart Disease or risk factors such as high bloodreure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. Nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. Patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. Dont takeebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or inteste, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. Get help right away if you have swelling of the face or thro, or trouble breathing. Tell your doctor your medical history. And ask your doctor about celebrex. For a body in motion.

Com tech editor Jeremy Kaplan is with us, weve got a whole bunch of things to talk about and headlines first. Apples chief of mergers and acquisitions met with teslas elon musk its a secret meeting, but talk of a partnership or something more. Thats intriguing, but we want to talk about the idea of these two behemoths getting together. Theres reports that theyre actively talking instead of suggesting you guys should look at that. I think it works on both sides. I think its for apple the brain trust since steve jobs passed away and elon musk, the genius and you say the industry has been talking about it. From the laymans point of view, you dont see the connection. One Company Makes electric cars and the other theres always the idea that there would be synergy there . Not synergy, but genius, but you need with a company, a ways to think of fresh things. Charles even though its a tech company. Elon musk probably holds a lot of the cards here. What youre buying with the company is is one guy. And like with apple it was a vision with one man, the ipad and the iphone, ham pred i dont want to say theyre hampered, but theyre a big company. And he hasnt litany fires. He comes on stage and everybody yawns and theyre struggling. A lot of people think its the cheapest stock in the market because theres no charisma, no new new thing. And everybody keeps talking about an iwatch. Are they going to do an iwatch . It feels like its anticlimatic. And if its better than the iwatch that scotty tried to get me to wear. Whats the apple, kindergarteners can identify it. But tesla, not a lot of household name recognition. Is this a reverse benefit for them . Thats a great point. They could use benefits and there are reports of challenges that some of the cars might have and well, some of the cars could be catching fire and is there an issue with the company in general . Its a trust. And on friday didnt stop the stock from playing around the 200 mark. I think the fire story may have played out right now. Do you have Something Real quick . Its not just tesla, thats the meeting, but lets talk about the other brands, and the hyper loop and all of the innovative ideas. So i think this is the beginning of something much bigger and tim cook has promised new devices and new updates for apple. I doubt it would be that fast. Charles ladies and gentlemen, this is jo ling kent. Glad you weighed in. And elon musk is the big brain and innovator that apple needs. Next for you, jeremy, you were big on this Wearable Technology thing, but the fitbit bracelets tracks activity and gives you information. And i heard about the rashes. Do you have the fitbit rash . Growing pains. Charles and this is going to be the topic of dating, do you have the fitbit rash, wear it as a badge of honor. I think its a small thing, its the manufacturing issues that theyre having and chemicals in there reacting with a few people and im optimistic that the company is going to move past it. Charles okay. In the meantime, watch out for those. Youve got the band, and we havent had any issues with them yet. Charles interesting, i think Weight Watchers reported earnings and said that they blew it. The stock got crushed and they blame things like the new fit bands that are destroying their model. Rash or not, its been a success. And another one for you, jeremy, google bought slick login that makes sound based password systems. Explain this to us. Its kind of mystifying, right . There are a lot of different ways you can identify people. I read the other day that ear wax has a lot of personal information, it can detect your piet. Beyond voice recognition, besides password. Intriguin intriguing, replace your password with your voice. And the target scandal, every day feels like another massive breach of our security on the internet. So, it might be, it might be worth it, i dont know. It sounds convenient if you have an issue like do i with siri, i hope this one will like me more. My siri and i have daily debates. Charles and the rest of them will be more. And the famous marty mcfly lace up sneakers. You remember back to the future, jo ling, youre too young, you dont remember it, but oh. Charles do you remember it . Of course. Come back to me when there are hover boards. Charles the hover boards were cool. But its interesting, though, a lot of times life imitates art. In this case the movies. We almost all of these things were starting to see that are coming to reality we saw in the movie before. Like sometimes ten years ago, sometimes 20 years ago and it feels like the old axiom if we could imagine it even in a movie or a book, at some point man can make it come to fruition. Oh, yeah, remember the tom cruise minority reports, the big panels. People are working on those. Elon musk is working on those. Might be the apple version. And kick starter and the online fund raising, they say the hackers access user names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, even pass words, but didnt get your credit considered information. Jo ling kent is working on that. It was wednesday night and they announced to customers, donated to kickstarter campaigns and got an email on saturday saying dont worry everything is okay, but youve had your information hacked and Everyone Needs to go on and change passwords. The question is the larger phishing issue and last week we found out about the target thing, that phishing led to the security break. Charles explain what phishing is. Malware laced email and the credit cards were not accessed, but was there Something Else behind it that allowed people to get information that could be used to get your Payment Information later on . Its accessed from one similar pot of information at ki kickstarter, its linked to a lot of famous peoples accounts and big movies and small nonprofits causes, it could have tentacles in many places. Charles i remember when the target thing broke, initially denials, we didnt lose this, didnt lose that and eventually we found out theyd lost everything. So people should be concerned with this if youre involved with kickstarter. Be concerned and do everything that everyone tells you to do. Check your accounts and change your passwords. People see kickstarter as a safe place to raise money. Charles im getting the wrap signal. Can you tell me what are some of the things youve donated to. Some of the art projects my friends are working on and theyve a lot of companies that spun off from the idea and working on it. Charles jo ling, thanks a lot. With the snow and ice covering the country, people are thinking of ways to get away. Has it helped or hurt the travel industry. Bob lanier is joining us today from sunny miami. Okay. Bob, ive heard some people say that they put off travelling during this whole polar vortex month that weve been in, almost two months. And some say they want to get away from it all. Tell us where we are right now . Well, actually travel is fairly strong, it tons of people are travelling, especially of course people in the cold areas want to get away and visit down in miami, visit the florida keys and other warm destinations, but travel is definitely up. The demand is up. So, thats very good news to the travel industry. Charles what are the things driving this . Because it seems pretty interesting. I see where expedia, which i think is your parent company, has done extraordinarily well and priceline has done well. And orbitz, their stock had a gigantic percentage move. People are doing more travelling and looking for values. And theres getaroom focuses on flash sales and travel vendors are reaching consumers using the latest technology to get them special deals. What flash sales do, that a hotel will put on a special sale for a limited period of time. Say, you have four hours who are 12 hours or 24 hours to book it. You can usually stay whenever you want, but theyll give you a great deal to make a decision right now. Now, vendors are also using email personalization, theyll send you a specific email for places you want to go based on your travel habits, but because of all the Great Technology right now, travel vendors can really get you deals quickly, show you where the deals are and people love it take advantage of the special offers and thats whats going on. People are booking special deals, people are going, and theres not been a lot of new construction over the last several years for lodging. And so, as demand has picked up, supply is limited. That means theres compression, which means prices tend to go up. So, now, what were telling people now, book as far in advance as you can, dont wait until the last minute because its busy out there. Charles it is, bob. Listen, well let you go and i will admit im very jealous and envious that youre in miami and im in the frigid cold and i may have to go on your website before the day is over. Come visit here, lots of people travelling and great deals. Charles we know that, thanks a lot.
