7:01 pm
we will take off with what everyone is talking about. >> tonight, this chamber space with one voice to the people we represent. it is you, our citizens, who make the state of our union strong. >> that is pretty much the standard opening line. the president spoke for 55 minutes. mostly on the economy, immigration, raising the min wage, tax reform, natural gas, you get the picture. if you missed it, here is the state of the union in two minutes. [music plays] >> we need to work together on bipartisan trade promotion authority to protect our workers, environment, and open new markets to goods stamped made in the usa. if we are serious about economic growth, time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders,
7:02 pm
faith leaders, law enforcement, and fix our broken immigration system. america is closer to energy independence than we have been in decades. businesses plan to invest 100 billion dollars in new factories that use natural gas. help states get those factories built, and congress can help by putting people to work building fueling stations that showed cars and trucks to american natural gas. i will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour. you should not have to live in poverty. to reach millions more, congress needs to get on board. say yes, give america a raise. [applause] we have a chance right now to be other countries and the race for the next wave of high-tech manufacturing jobs.
7:03 pm
my administration has launched two hubs for high-tech manufacturing, in north carolina and ohio, we have connected businesses to universities that can help america lead the world in advanced technologies. tonight, we will launch six more this year. this can be a breakthrough year for america. after five years of grit and determined effort, the u.s. is better positioned for the 21st century than any other nation on earth. a question for everyone in this chamber, running through every decision we make this year, is whether we are going to help or hinder this progress. >> ok, there it is. big issues for the 2014 agenda. except one thing. >> america does not stand still and neither will i. wherever and whenever i can take steps without legislation to
7:04 pm
expand opportunity for more american families, that is what i will do. >> we have talked a lot about this on "lunch money." the president highlighting 12 executive orders intended to advance his agenda without requiring congressional approval. going at it alone in washington. >> i think the ideas get smaller. whatever he does alone, it is a small idea. if it were big, it would go through congress. ideas and initiatives are getting smaller. >> ok, that is what republicans like former commerce secretary carlos gutierrez have been calling small issues. still painting a strong picture of the union. he had to walk a fine line. >> things are good that we need to make changes. we need to take a different direction. on one hand this, on the second hand, this. in the end, today and tomorrow, this speech is not going to matter as much as what he does in the next six months.
7:05 pm
i think the american public is tired of the oratory and the words. they say what are you going to do? it is all about action. >> amen, that is what republicans want. like cathy mcmorris rodgers of washington who delivered the gop response. >> the president made more promises that sound good but will not solve problems facing americans. we want you to have a better life. the president wants that, too. but we part ways on how to make that happen. republicans have plans to close the gap. plans that will focus on jobs first, without more spending, government bailouts, and red tape. every day, we are working to expand our economy. one manufacturing job, nursing degree, and small business at a time. yes, it is time to honor our history of legal immigration. we are working on a step-by-step
7:06 pm
solution to immigration reform. first, securing our borders and making sure america will always attract the best, brightest, and hardest working from around the world. we hope the president will join us in a year of real action. by empowering people, not by making their lives harder with unprecedented spending, higher taxes, and fewer jobs. as republicans, we advanced these plans every day. we believe in a government that trusts people and does not limit where you finish because of where you start. >> big issues but few details was the republican response. >> to be fair, president obama did not create all of these problems. the republican establishment in washington can be just as out of touch as the democratic establishment. where does this new inequality come from? from government, obamacare.
7:07 pm
it is an inequality godzilla that has robbed working families of their insurance, their doctors, their wages and their jobs. >> an inequality godzilla? sounds big. ted cruz's lieutenant in the recent government shutdown. we might actually have one more republican response. >> president reagan said government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem. the housing bubble and crash were caused by the federal reserve, keeping interest rates too low for too long. as we entered into the great recession, republicans and democrats misdiagnosed the problem as too little government, they gave us more government. in the form of bank bailouts and government stimulus. nearly $1 trillion later, we find that government does not create jobs very well. it turned out that a cost nearly $400,000 per job for you.
7:08 pm
why? government is inherently bad at picking winners and losers. i have an idea to empower americans. my plan is to create economic freedom zones in distressed areas all over the country. including my own state of kentucky. leaving more money in the hands of the people who earn it. in freedom zones, they will cut income and business taxes to a rate of 5%. we will cut payroll taxes so folks will have more money in their paychecks. burdensome regulations will be removed. business will expand. >> a lot of criticism. at least a concrete proposal from rand paul. bottom line, the president has an approval rating of less than 50%. congress is even lower. action is needed from everyone. deutsche bank is taking its own action.

7:13 pm
>> yahoo! fell short of estimates as well. marissa mayer struggling to turn user growth into ad dollars. >> it is a revenue growth story -- >> except there is no revenue growth. >> investors have been waiting for yahoo! to figure out how to monetize its users. we know digital advertising is growing 15% a year. yahoo! and aol are unable to take advantage of that. marissa mayer is starting to feel some pressure now that she is a year-and-a-half into her leadership of the company. >> we saw alibaba results, they are trailing. 51% growth, i will take 51% year over year. slower than it has been. showing some signs of -- of what that business is showing.
7:14 pm
>> it did slow in terms of revenue growth in the third quarter, they report one quarter in arrears. people feel very bullish about alibaba and e-commerce overall in china. alibaba is the place. the valuation associated with the ipo, whenever it may come in 2014 continues to be the driver. >> people say marissa mayer has turned around this company when they look at the stock price, not the results. you really see financial engineering of dan loeb. >> they are to monetize part of their investment in alibaba last year. they did a good job of returning proceeds to shareholders, they have done a good job from that perspective. if you look at the stock, it is a complete bet on the value of the ali baba ipo. no real improvement on fundamentals, marissa mayer
7:15 pm
suggests it is a "multiple your turnaround." >> now, an un-super mario. nintendo's third-quarter profit down 77%. christmas shoppers shunned the wii u. >> the wii u is not in good shape. you are not having developers who want to make games for it. the wii u is struggling because you have hard-core gamers going to the xbox one and ps4. then you have players who play on the ipod. a five dollar game. nintendo has an ecosystem similar to apple, they make everything. it is also the hard part about their company in the short-term. >> a challenge for super mario.
