matt o'brien, i think he is right. bitcoin is frequently referred to as a virtual currency or digital money. right now, it could be that one day. it is true that you can exchange bitcoin for other things. you can buy things online or bitcoin. it does meet some of the characteristics of a currency. but its volatile price has meant few people have been willing to do that. i do not think currency or money is the best way to describe it now. what it does do now is serve as this new network for moving money around. you may not want to keep your money in bitcoin, but when you want to make a transaction for the four minutes you are actually making the transaction you may want to have bitcoin for that long to use the network to send money. that network is what a lot of of people have focused on recently. wall street banks got into this. goldman sachs making its investment. nasdaq, new york stock exchange, getting involved. what they are looking at is not the currency but the financial network. this goes to how many things bitc

host: matt, a republican. how are you guys? caller: the question i have, you made a comment a little while ago about how businesses will see less turnover and things like that. why haven't they instituted this on their own since there is such a benefit. why does the government need to compel them to make a good business decision? host: that's a great question. plenty of businesses have and the issue is about evening out the playing field. it's tough to offer this benefit for the employees that you care about when down the street someone isn't. guest: and so it's become a real issue. it's tough to be a business that wants to do the right thing by their employees and also sees the gains from it to then have to compete with companies that don't. host: what companies are doing this on their own? guest: most major companies are. microsoft made huge news recently when they said we guarantee it for our own in-house employees. now we need thousands of contractors to agree to it, too, which isn't for white-collar employees but anyone wh

matt is up next. the money. caller: good morning. i'm very happy to be watching this morning and learned that new hampshire is doing research on this. i am 57 years old. i was electrocuted in an industrial accident. i am a high-end woodworking restoration. i rebuilt buildings -- i rebuild old buildings. i cannot find a job. i have loads. i have been misdiagnosed most of the times -- multiple times. i have taken all kinds of medicines, i have implants in my body. no one can diagnose me because they little people have lived through what i have gone through. the one point you just brought up -- i've made a fantastic living doing what i do. once i became disabled, and you people are offering a $10 per hour. it would cost me more than that to have health care again because i would have to give up medicare and my benefits. i really truly want to work. i am only 57, i'm getting married. because of my disability, it has the late my wedding 17 years. host: andrew houtenville, i will let you start with the gentleman from your home state. guest

matt, what do you think? caller: in lieu of coming out on the specifics of policies, it would be a good thing for her to have a modern iteration of the economy is stupid, such as that it is the disparity that is stupid. host: what does that mean? do you agree with the nation that she needs to be more specific? caller: i don't think that people are interested in the nuts and bolts. in my opinion, it would help to use the past as a good megaphone. it has worked before. the economy is stupid. so catchy. he had the longest period of economic expansion in history. if she can transfer that to inequality it will resonate, and she will get a lot of voters. host: you are an independent. are you leaning towards the right now? caller: i think it is a tossup. i think immigration or inequality are going to be -- it is an issue driven presidential system. last time it was health care. it is a tossup. i think inequality will appeal to most voters. she needs to encapsulate that in a meaningful way. host: let me ask you about
