so far, so good for the bulls. dagen: thank you so much. dennis: to health insurance now. raising premiums more than 25%. dagen: peter barnes joins us now from washington, d.c. peter: health insurance companies are starting to submit their premiums. some customers should be prepared for sticker shock. blue cross blue shield has requested a 30% increase in premiums in tennessee for individuals, a 25% increase in maryland, as you mentioned, and 18% increase in rhode island. these are just proposals, just request.

the industry says that customers in some states -- >> it is certainly important to make sure that the premiums are sufficient. that is how we ensure that coverage is going to be there for people when they need it. smack it is only a first step in the premiums process. it started well before the affordable care act was passed.

the competition will help moderate cost. connell: thank you. peter barnes in d.c. for us. dagen: let's bring in jason riley. we have no idea what the ultimate cost of this law will be on the taxpayer and people who have to pay for their own health insurance. >> does anyone still believe that obamacare will lower the cost of healthcare? it has completely shifted here. how many times did president obama say if you like the healthcare you have, you can keep it. not even democratic members of congress believe that is true. it is going to be a train wreck. harry reid and others in the house were caught red-handed in

a news report coming up with a way to exempt themselves and their staff from these exchanges that you were just discussing. right now, federal government subsidizes a lot. they are worried when these exchanges take place in the subsidy goes away it will increase the cost of their health insurance. even members on the hill are trying to find ways to avoid the cost. connell: how big of a political problem? >> i think it is a big political problem. one thing to look at are the polls. it found that 15% of the polls said they think obama care will help them personally. 37% said it would hurt them. dagen: how will they write this

titanic? these health exchanges have to be set up by the state by october 1. there have been dozens of ms. deadlines by health and human services. they did not even covered nearly the number of people they said. >> they are out of money. they decrease what they pay providers. still, they are out of money. this foreshadows an estimated amount of people. dagen: it covered -- >> you cannot sign up anymore. connell: the one thing that i think is interesting about it, i

up .2%. personal income rose. economists were looking for more. sam stovall says if you are in the market for stocks, history tells us not to expect much out of the markets anyway. as we talk about stocks, we give you an alert on the economy. where are we, historically, at this point of the year? >> may is the middling month. it ranks only eight out of the 12 going back to world war ii. it is okay. i will take it. it is positive. it is not typically something that triggers a rally. connell: april was a little weaker than usual. is that just because we ran up so much? are we setting ourselves up for this spring swooned?

>> we have been of intent of of the last 11 months. investors in general, stocks are getting a little tired. they are feeling optimistic today. i would tend to side with the question, what is propelling stocks? i would say all of the liquidity in the marketplace is being positive. it is overriding reduced expectations. if you look underneath the surface a bit, first quarter gdp numbers were actually better than expected. if the government did nothing, there was no change in government influence, we would have seen gdp of 3.2. connell: if you are right, if that is really what is driving things now, how long can not

continue to drive the market higher? what is your outlook for the rest of the year? >> they will continue doing it as long as it is needed. if pulses doubles output of twinkies, but nobody eats them, will we still gain weight? we will not be a big increase in inflation. certainly, this economy which is still in the hostel, if you will, requires its id in order to be sustained. once that gets removed, i think we can feel better. connell: sam, good to see you. thank you for coming on.

connell: we're back with the latest out of syria which has become a point of debate in this country. also news out of there today with the state media reporting the prime minister of syria is alive after a bomb attack right near his convoy in damascus killed six people. dagen: jennifer griffin is at the pentagon with the very latest. what could the u.s. military do at this stage about the chemical weapons there and what plans are in place, jennifer? >> remember, the pentagon and central command presented plans to the white house months ago. it's in the president's hands at this point.

many people he painted himself in a corner talking about a red line. >> can't be a dotted line. can t can't be anything other than a red line and more than just syria, iran is paying attention to this, north korea is paying attention to this so i think the options aren't huge but some action needs to be taken. >> there are approximately 13 chemical weapons facilities with 40 other sites, many of them mobile, scattered around the country. syrians assembled about 48 chemical bombs, we're told, to be dropped from planes within the last few months. those are unaccounted for at this point. nobody at the pentagon wants to bomb the facilities from the air because of the potential they could create a chemical cloud. it's not easy to control these agents. i'm told that they could mine the areas around these facilities so no one from the regime could enter these chemical weapons facilities. i've heard estimates that even if invited in, even if the asad

regime invited the u.s. in as the u.s. did in libya, it would take about 20 years for a defense contractor to disassemble and contain all the chemical agents that he has. that is what is taking place in libya right now but it would be very difficult to do in syria. the danger right now, according to the pentagon, is inaction. many military commanders i've spoken to say a window has come and closed and now they're asked to come in at a very late stage to try to contain what has become a growing problem in syria. connell: i understood, jennifer, but at the same time there has to be a lot of debate about what we should do in syria. that has to be the case in the military as well, too, right? there's got to be skepticism in the military. what are those people saying? >> there's a great deal of skepticism and frustration that the military is asked to come in at this stage. they've been presenting these options for some time. they can always do something. the military always has a plan

for these things. one of the problems that we see is that, of course, don't forget that the russians created the anti-aircraft defense system that asad has in place. there are even, i'm told, russian soldiers manning those sites so they will be killed if we carry out air strikes from above and they're located in these anti-aircraft systems in civilian areas so there will be civilian casualties and the pentagon wants to remind the white house of that. they want to remind them that it is not an easy operation. connell: thank you. jennifer griffin at the pentagon for us. let's go to the stock exchange here as we shift to the markets and fickle, merck and fiez we are this diabetes drug, good news today. >> as we watched the nice on diabetes and obesity and all of that, this is important news. merck down slightly at 47.86. we'll take you over to pfizer as well but the two companies together, both of which are dow

components and two leaders in the pharmaceutical industry are working together to develop jointly an experimental type two diabetes drug. and with this, late stage trials will start later this year. here's a look at pfizer, though. that's good news there, up 1.25%. pfizer has received $60 million up front for the milestones and will continue to receive money as this goes along. the revenue and the costs are going to share these both good news, the revenue and the cost as well. it will be used in combination with other diabetes drugs but merck will continue to retain the rights to the products. it's interesting news and obviously great news for americans and people around the world. back to you. dagen: thank you so much, nicole. recovery, recovery everywhere. pending home sales in march hitting a three-year high just the latest data point driving home the fact that the housing market is in full blown

recovery. cofounder and c.e.o. of the agency in los angeles and just to tell you everything you would ever want to know about luxury real estate. good to see you. thanks for being back with us. >> thank you for having me back with you. it's a pleasure to be here with you. >> tell me how prices are in the luxury market, where you specifically work, compared to where they peaked in 2006. are you back above those pricess at this point? >> i think in many cases we're starting to see a comeback to those prices or even a little above, specifically on property that's really sought off due to the low inventory. for example, right now big views. you know, big views, modern, contemporary, that's one of the sectors that are tremendously -- everybody really wants or i think you're starting to see that really recover and go above the peak back in 2007-2008. >> you talk about the low

inventory. are you starting to see more building activity among the luxury builders and high end builders or even buying of properties and people doing significant renovations on them to turn them over and sell them? >> well, i would love to see even more construction start to happen. i don't think we're having enough of it and one of the problems that we're having is that a lot of the construction that's happening is poor rent property so there's really just a lack of inventory and the lack of supply and a really high demand. we're going back to economics 101 right now. it's a basic supply and demand curve that's driving the prices up and we're seeing a lot of demand coming from national people as well as a lot of international people as well. dagen: why the rental market? is rental payment that you would get as an owner on par with what a mortgage payment will cost you, including the property taxes and the like? because i'm looking at cheap stuff but everything i've ever

looked at in los angeles seems much more inexpensive to rent it than to own it. >> i think there's a combination of everything. i think the fact that the rental market is being fuelled by the fact that you don't have to come up with a big down payment, loans are still a little bit difficult to get. you're having to see 30%, 40% downs on the -- you know, a lot of loans so therefore, it makes it easier to have a lifestyle. you're seeing a lot of developers develop properties that are rental properties that are higher end and so therefore, giving a consumer a better lifestyle than they were used to in the rental market in the past so it's a nice fad that's happening and i think that's really what is driving the rental market right now. >> talk about the demand, where that demand is coming from. how much of that do you attribute to just the ultra low interest rates and the improving available of credit or cash buyers from overseas? are they increasingly driving

demand? >> yeah. demand pool right now is extremely diverse. it's coming from overseas, asia, russia, europe, we're starting to see tax issues going on in france, london and that's starting to bring a lot of people back over here. i think people are seeing the real estate in the u.s. market as a hedge against all other mmrkets, equities against inflation. i think they're seeing it as a safe haven. we're seeing a lot of national people buying for their kids, they're buying for themselves. again, it's just a real safe haven and one of the other sectors we're seeing, a lot of international people coming in to buy is branded real estate. it's a new fad that's going on. ritz carltons, four seasons and it just gives a sense of security to the investor and especially the investor only spending three or four weeks a year on the property so there's just a lot of demand that's very divorce. >> so condo hotels is how we would refer to them. is that what they are? like the ritz carlton properties

where you buy like a share? >> the condo hotels in downtown l.a., at l.a. live, ritz carlton in puerto rico. they've been doing a lot of that. the demand is just snapping it away. you're starting to see multiple offers. it's a fun time right now and i actually think it's still a good time to invest. i think it's still early in the game. i don't think we're late. i think we're having the conversation but it's right on time. dagen: who wouldn't want to live in los angeles? please. thank you. it was gret to see you. please come back very soon. the agency and go just look at the properties on the website because they're breath taking.

and spending at the department of transportation. $50 billion one time boost for infrastructure improvements around the country. $40 billion, that's a faif-year plan for rail transit around the country. this is a nomination that would have to make it through the u.s. senate and the commerce and transportation committee. that's something that we probably won't hear from those folks until the official announcement is made. again, 2:00 p.m. at the white house. connell: stocks are nearing new april highs. maybe a turn. let's ask mart at grey wolf on the floor today with the crystal ball outlook ahead for the summer. what do you think, mark? >> we continue to see resilience in equities. we saw one of the biggest misses on record from the dow's manufacturing activity. this on the heels of last week's g.d.p. and the durables number. prices are moving up to new highs. why is this? i think to a certain extent this

been leading this rally. what really concerned me right now is it's just a little too comfortable and hey, if you want to make money, investing in something that's comfortable is probably not going to get you there. so when you look at the valuations on staples and utilities right now trading at sustainable going forward.at's there's other sectors in the market that people have steered from with valuations right now that are just extremely cheap. areas like technology, industrial, energy and not only are they cheaper right now but they also have higher dividend yields. if you're an investor looking for income and the ability to have growth of the income the next decade or so, those are the areas you want to start moving in from, take some profits on the staples and utilities and start transporting your portfolio into those areas coming at the summer. >> you're saying technology fair enough and industrials and

energy. right now we're looking at a low environment for commodities like oil and gas. what about the big energy companies? doesn't that make you think we're not going to get a lot of movement in the energy sector? >> well, you know, i think right now in general, when you're investing in this market, you want to be company specific. i wouldn't go and buy a broad based e.t.f. on energy, per se, but there's companies out there right now like conoco phillips. it's yielding 4.5% and what excites me with conoco phillips, they're making a move into china right now helping develop shale gas. the demand for energy is insatiable. sandra: look at the stocks. we're looking at conoco phillips and you just mentioned this but you're talking about china.

conoco phillips a good play but also what about caterpillar? that's a stock that's had some rough times becae the overseas story, because of the china story. it's been very volatile because of it. what do you say about these guys? >> i think caterpillar is a great way to play china. china underperformed the u.s. market but i think that's going to start turning around. we're seeing early signs of that. er pi-- caterpillar, every time you get an opportunity to see it 25, 30% off the highs, the chance to buy a best in breed name like caterpillar, yielding over 2 1/2%, this is an opportunity to step up and buy stuff like that. cheryl: you also like cisco. >> i had no idea that john chambers is coming up. we started purchasing these about a month ago and point being technology is a cheap

sector right now. john chambers has committed to the dividend. what i really like about cisco is they're going the i.b.m. model right now. they're increasing services business, software business so i think the opportunity to increase the dividend that's important for us will continue to play out. cheryl: the big reason the dow is rallying today and the cisco stock up 17% year to date. we have joe chambers coming up. john chambers is going to be joining me later on from the white house where private city is teaming up to offer computer and i.t. training for military personnel that could easily transition into the corporate work force. that's coming up later on. dennis: congress is working for on line retailers to collect sales taxes.

joining us now, we have former special assistant to president george w. bush and current managing director. thanks for being with us, dillon. do you think that this internet sales tax is going to pass? >> well, i certainly think that it's got momentum. you know, there's been a couple of votes last week in the senate that suggest it may enjoy a bipartisan support on that body, legislative body. i think that house is a different animal altogether. you already alluded to in your opening that there are certainly disspirited voices in the house on the republican side as well as democratic side. you know, i remind your viewing audience that it was the supreme court that spoke to this issue in 1992 which has brought us to this point where they did notal will you for the states to tax.

this bill would give authority to the states to have the ability to tax and so, you know, it's been an open question. we'll see. dennis: it's being positioned now as an issue of trying to make the level playing field between the on liners and the poor little retailers. i pay a shipping cost for on line. since when should we use tax policy to help the local mom and pops? why don't we just pass a special tax on wal-mart so the local mom and pops don't go out of business? >> i tend to agree with that sentiment and i think that this is a tad bit of the wolf getting his nose underneath the tent here and for those of us who feel like, you know, perhaps the tax regimes are difficult in and of themselves but also the onerous measures of compliance

with this bears deep consideration. so i think we're going to have a robust day. my sense is that this will be a close call and so -- and i'm hesitant to wager which side wins, carries the day. dennis: it will be a mess for on line retailers. they would have to collect taxes on 9,000 different taxing entities they would have to worry about and it could certainly hurt sales from taking over. >> in addition to sort of the built-in discrepancy and i would say just unfairness for states that don't have sales tax and small states as well so i think this is a -- it's a measure that's come up time and time again. cooler heads prevailed in the past and we've managed to escape a onerous tax that has potential to hurt small businesses but it seems to have momentum this time. we'll have to see.

dennis: is this a trojan horse or value added tax? >> that's been concern. certainly bears reason f concern. you know, i think this is more driven by the fact that states are cash strapped and looking for resources however they can find them. my sense is that that's more of what's driving this argument today. dennis: perish the thought they should cutback a little bit. thank you for being with us today. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: for more reaction on a possible sales tax going national, retailer in wisconsin tells us what that means mean to him. >> this is the company called p.c. name tag. nick has founded this company, loves this company, doesn't even mind paying taxes but 9,000 entities? how are you going to pull that

off? >> it will be like giving birth to an elephant. now we're talking about -- i think this acts as all 50 states must provide software. i don't need 50 more software >> talk about your business here. this is not a huge business. it's ant -- not a mom and pod business but now it's a medium sized business that you don't have staff to do this. >> we'll have to hire another person book keeping just to be a sales tax person because what we're talking about is we're talking about 9,000 different entities that are going to be charging sales tax. >> tell me what you think is behind this. we put up our friends at ebay and amazon. there are two sides of the issue on this. and both companies are doing well but what do you think this is all about? >> i think that ebay is trying

to protect our -- the smaller businesses and they have an exclusion there for businesses under a million dollars. well, a million dollars isn't a lot. >> how much is that a day? >> about $2700 a day for a business. >> what do you think amazon has in mind on this? >> amazon, if main street retailers thought that wal-mart was a threat, they haven't seen anything yet. amazon is moving into states promising, we'll collect sales tax. give us some land and give us some exemptions and amazon is going to come in there and they're going to deliver and going to hurt the me day retailer. >> i leave you guys with the top on line retailers. you obviously know all about

amazon. take a look at other ones. staples, wal-mart, dell, office depot. a lot of business done on line. big ones don't seem to mind collecting the sales tax but medium sized businesses, it's going to be a mess. >> stakes are high for a lot of businesses. thank you very much. dennis: health insurance is blaming obama care for the push for a 25 cents increase in the cost of premiums in unone state. we'll tell you what it means for the health insurance cost and the health stocks. cheryl: and netflix shares. look at the one month. but we have an analyst ahead who says be careful. what goes up almost has to come down. we want to take a look at oil. we do it every day at this time and crude is actually higher. 93.91. we'll be right back.

cheryl: dow sitting near session highs. up 9 on points. 14,80 14,809. good news out of italy, on the economy, housing, consumer income coming in pretty strong. we'll take t. leading the way, microsoft, i.b.m. and alcoa. stocks every 15 minutes. nicole is standing by on the floor of the new york stock exchange with what she's watching. >> that's right. important to take a look at some health services, hospital services to be more specific. you can see hanna health care is up 7%. throw h.d.a. in there. that's an $18 billion company and the same realm of hospitals and the like. there's a proposal for the government.

oil and gas industry. absolutely tremendous. to tell you how interesting in it, jack gerard who is critical of a lot of things, particularly solar, thinks this is a god idea. it takes government taxpayer money out of it and put more real investment dollars into it. this particular company, i think, really looks like they're coming on strong. earnings for fiscal 14 have been ratcheting higher. what i like is in the insider buys, 3 -- 4.3 million shares. de.re's a lot of room to the si i think this clde a $10 stock sometime this year. dennis: 88 cent stock five years ago. if you paid that, you would never do this again. wow. thanks very much. >> thanks, charles. cheryl: cisco c.e.o. live from the white house on a public

species are being installed atop one world trade center. it will provide a broadcast transmission antenna to restore the one that was destroyed september 11, 2001. the completed building are reach 1776 feet. now back to dennis. dennis: thanks very much, lauren. obama care was supposed to bend the cost of care downward so why are some insurers seeking 25% increases as they gear up for the changes in the health care law? >> that's right. some customers should be prepared for sticker shock here. individuals will be able to start buying policies through the health insurance exchanges under obama care starting next year. the nation's biggest health insurer is predicting a 30% increase in premiums in tennessee for individuals, a 25% increase in maryland and 18%

increase in premiums in rhode island. regular lat -- regulators are expecting this high but blue cross needs to cover higher health care costs in general and mandates to provide access to uninsured people. >> also policies will have to meet a minimum set of benefits that's far broader than what many people are choosing to purchase today. as a result, the cost of that coverage is going to increase the costs of those receiving. >> rate increases will hit people differently in different states. vermont is smaller because vermont already had tougher health care mandates and increases will generally be smaller for businesses that provide coverage for their employees. a pro reform group, families u.s.a., said the rate proposal in maryland is only the first step in the premium process and

at the end of the process, the premiums will be considerably lowers. blue cross has a history that started well before the care act was intact. families u.s.a. says the competition should help control costs and that some customers will get government subsidies to help pay their premiums. back to you. dennis: government subsidies. thank you very much, peter barnes. >> keep it here on fox business. in the next hour, blackberry c.e.o. joins melissa and lori to talk about the company's turnaround plan and what is really going on with sales of the z 10. that will be a great interview. dennis: and netflix stock a house of cards? analyst next worries that may be so. cheryl: and cisco on a terror lately. the stocks up big time. up 17% year to late.

a house of cards. michael from web security is up next. security networking company cisco on a terror lately. cisco c.e.o. is coming up on whether his side can continue that rise. details on a public private partnership to help train military personnel for the transition into corporate life and don't count out j.c. penney just yet. we'll tell you who is jumping on their bandwagon. nicole is on the floor of the new york stock exchange looking at big movers. >> i certainly am. bringing it over here. love the challenge, all right? delta up 1%. this is one of those kind of day where is you're seeing up arrows across the board. how about e.v.s.? it's up a half a percent and then my piece of resistance. that's disney, up 2%. disney is one to watch. they had the iron man 3. that came out over the weekend. it was up by u.b.s. to a buy and

also updated it to $72, up from $55. disney is a momentum player, constantly hitting all-time highs 22 times this year. now, i shouldn't leave out on a day where the dow is up nearly 100 points that we're also watching the nasdaq. techs are doing well. apple has been gaining. we watched blackberry. we have news on that in the 1:00. it's doing very well. face bobbing up arrows, google, microsoft is the top performer as well so you certainly have a lot of win he weners today. look at this one. all gren. okay? that tells you what kind of day we're having. back to you. dennis: when netflix announced subscriber growth over the past quarter, many cheered but michael doesn't think this house of cards is the saving grace for

netflix that many others believe to be so. house of cards came along and they had one or two ne why are you unimpressed? >> you know, i think that netflix is gret great at spinning metrics. the 80,000 was the number of people who signed up for a trial and then spun out before their two-week trial was up. that's kind of an insignificant number and kind of a meaningful number. i actually think the people who joined for house of cards probably numbered about 500,000 and they didn't all join on february 1. so people joined in march when they heard the buzz. they probably stayed. they may be staying around for the rest of development. i think those people were pulled toward. i think they borrowed subscribers who found a couple of shows they want to see in the first part of the year. i can confidently tell you that

no one is going to rent it three years from now. anybody who care $ going to know about the show. it will get more buzz a year from now. you might get a little boost in time but after that, they only signed up for two seasons. no one is coming back to hear from house of cards for the first time three years from now. yet they're advertising the cost of the show over three years. net income goes down when they have to take a charge for the show three years out and revenues aren't going to go up. it's not illegal. they're doing gap accounting, spreading their costs over the length of the deal. remember, they don't own this show. they only have leased the rights to show it in the streaming window for three years. dennis: that was the thing that shocked me. i thought they were putting up more than $50 million for 14 episodes of that show. then you see it on d.v.d. in only a few months and it's coming out from sony. they don't even have the dvd rights. i was surprised by that.

>> you've probably gotten some bad numbers. i believe thespent $2 million per episode. they committed to 26 episodes. they'll spend $52 million total. total production cost of the show was over $100 million, probably $125 million so they helped to fund a part of the cost in exchange for the first tv window. meteor rights capital garnered the rest. that's completely different from the way hbo does it. hbo pays for anything, they own energy, they manage all windows to make sure they maximize the cost. it's made for commercial tv. it's going to be on broadcast tv sunday. i would bet right at the end of the three-year window, another reason never to join netflix again. so it's a god thing now. it's not a long term thing. dennis: awfully painful when you have a $55 price target on the

stock and it's up there at 200 and change now. good luck with that. thank you for being with us today. >> pleasure. cheryl: watching shares of j.c. penney today as they announce goldman sachs will provide the company with five-year loan t. may be used to fund working capital requirements. take a lock at the one-year chart. here is what's happened to the stock. it is well above, decently above the 15 -- 52-week high. last weekend as you'll remember, george bought big shares of the company. he's making the bet. today investors are making the bet. today j.c. penney is getting the loan from sold man sacks. i want to show you the retail sector to give you a sense how the group is performing. a lot of these names are big rget's, macy ort least .

makes oil more attractive. what's very interesting, if you look at the oil and look at the spread, it was never supposed to come in again but right now it's under $10, the different above wti. wti could regain its momentum as the global benchmark because the united states is going to be the world's biggest consumer as well as the biggest producer. so that's really a big thing in play today. but if you look at the spread, what it's also telling you is that there's more confidence in the u.s. economy than the european economy so right now, a lot of nervousness but right now, you have to go with the flow. oil up big today, cheryl. cheryl: and we'll continue to watch it. thanks. >> thank you. dennis: and it's almost a quarter till, time for stocks now. markets just hit a session high for the day. >> we're closing in on april

highs, actually. nasdaq 100 is set to make the highest closing level since the fall of last year. so equities are certainly resilient and part of that stems from the dollar hitting new lows. multi-day lows that's actually driving a lot of the euvo versus the dollar today and that's been helpful to a lot of commodities. crude oil moving up and also a big gain in precious metals. grains are seeing the highest levels in almost six months. april could be the wettest on record for illinois, indiana and iowa so that's interesting when you're seeing the grains, commodity obviously strength today and a lot of the top line has been missing with regards to earnings is only of that was attributed to the fact that commodities have been weak the last couple of months. now neutral signs of commodities bottoming out. cheryl: getting soon to be returning veterans a job.

white house unveiling a new program to help military personnel train for computer jobs while still serving their country. joining me nowro the white house, cisco chairman john chambers. d to see you today as always and i'm curious if this is a signal that cisco is going to be hiring this year and if so, how many jobs will it be hiring? >> it's a pleasure to be with you today and it was a pleasure to be with the first lady where we solve one of our toughest problems. if you think about it, there's going to be a million servicemen and women coming back who protected our country and to ask them to go fight the battle for a job by themselves is just wrong. we've got to come together in public private partnership and really think about training these young people and enabling them to connect to the opportunities and get jobs and that's what we're about and that's what the announcement was today. is cisco hiring? absolutely. if you look at where we are, 10%

of our u.s. base is from -- are veterans themselves. so i apologize. we're getting wind and rain from the side here. forgive me for that part. cheryl: we can do a lot when it comes to business and you yourself have been leading the charge and one of the things we've seen in 2012 was u.s. companies. you know, about 1 1/2 trillion has been sitting over seas and technology has been the leading sector. you and microsoft and others have been putting a lot of money overseas and parking it. doourng now is the time to have a meaningful conversation about corporate tax reform to bring some money back to the united states? >> well, cheryl, i think if we don't allow the companies who have the huge accumulations of money overseas to bring it back, that money will be invested overseas and we've been working on this for four years. this is one that i think we're still apart on in terms of the party views, et cetera. what i'm excited about is the

immigration plan that you're now seeing take shape. if we can find bipartisan support for that and get a meaningful plan through, then i think you might find that the group will have the courage to find a compromise for tax policy reform. if you look at the u.s. economy, i'm an optimist on it over the next one, three, five years. part of the reason that i think i'm optimistic is the ability of this country to reinvent itself. whether it's how we handle our returning men and women in the services to give them an opportunity to do a great job when they come back for which they earned or how we think out of the box to have our job creation into the most x competitive on a global basis. cheryl: i have to ask you about the stock and we're' business network here, john. stock in 17% year to date. up about 50%. one of the things that happened in the summer of 2011 was you kind of became a value stock and

not a growth stock. and i know at the time you weren't thrilled with that but you've got to be thrilled with the performance of the company. can you become a growth company once again, john? >> well, my view is you've got to do both in this market. as many peers have found, if you just value alone and you're not netting growth, it's hard to continue the earnings. what cisco has done is we've been on record quarters both in terms of revenue and records in terms of profits with profits sharing more than revenue. so i would like to be the one company who does both. and if you watch over the last year, we gained probably more market share across our top 20 product lines than we have in any year before. it's how you execute during the tough years to determine the market growth later. i want to be a great company as well. we'll see if we can do that and anything i say today should not be interpreted about the

current quarter. cheryl: i have to ask, you've said in the past you want to double the revenues of the software side of the business. wall street would love to see you make an inization. b.m.c., are you going to make some acquisitions this year? >> if you watch what we've done the last 15 months as the market has taken off and we parallel our optimistic comments the same thing the stock marketed market reflected. we bought 15 companies. you'll see more on the acquisition market. not necessarily with the large companies but the small and medium side of the house and you'll see what we've done before. a lot of software, a lot of security, a lot of architectural plays and how these play together. we're starting to win deals now where the customers say we're buying you because you have the best software to find network strategy, the best silicon and

you're going to combine those thing. cheryl: the chairman and c.e.o. of cisco, thanks for being on fox best. good to have you. >> good to see you again. dennis: billions of dollars on the line as the trial gets underway in the michael jackson wrongful death lawsuit. note snoet ♪ ♪
