you. back to you. lori: thank you. we will see you in a couple of minutes. will washington get its act together in time? welcome back to the show. the center made a very interesting statement, i thought, earlier. costly steps were taken to prepare for the taper. was not tapering a waste and is that an issue that bernanke and company considered when making a decision earlier not to taper? >> over the next week they will decide whether or not the government will shut down at the end of the month.
1:03 pm
we could run into the debt ceiling issue once again. that also makes it unlikely that they will paper in october. i think that the fed probably sits back and waits to absorb some of the data that is due out over the next couple weeks. lori: to esther george's statement, the job owning that went on around may prepared the markets. everybody expected this to happen. now we are hearing this orchestrate, if you will, orchestrated release. do you think that they will be listened to and given as much credit to as we gave bernanke
1:04 pm
and company the last time around? >> they kind of take those comments with a grain of salt. the comments about the fed preparing the markets for tapering and then not tapering, that is an issue we raised. the market has trusted the fed and the fed will begin to -- we do not think that the fact that the market has lost a little bit of trust right now matters very much. when the fed begins to unwind all of this stimulus, the fed will really need the markets trust and i think it has been damaged, somewhat. here we stand. lori: let's talk about the market mechanics.
1:05 pm

structured relationship. i think it is probably good for them and good for us. my hope is we take the entire industry over time. adam: you will ever be fired for making a mistake. it tells me you are not trying anything new. >> with i heart radio, i think it has been an extraordinary success. day in and day out, we made

president's health care law and send them back to the house of representatives. in order to fund the government house and senate must pass identical bills. the house will have a choice. they can pass the bill as simply bonds the government to december 15th for any other date and does not be fun obamacare or let the government shut down. that is probably a decision that we will come to next week. we are getting ahead of ourselves. the senate still has to act. tracy: thank you. ashley: this bill seems to resonate with people's opinions. the general public, the latest fox business poll finding that 68 percent of people surveyed say that they are concerned about their health care under the new law. 43 percent of those surveyed responded that there are very concerned with their health care. 25 percent are somewhat concerned with how the new law will affect. the majority of respondents who were at least concerned by the weight fell in that under 30 age group. when you ask which would be better on obamacare, 54 percent of those surveyed say they think
2:04 pm
the country should go back to the 2009 system, pre obamacare. a 6% increase from february 2011 and only 35 percent agree that the government should leave the new law in place. all right. the latest on the house passing a spending bill that temporarily funds the government through december 15th. and permanently defense of -- present laws affordable care act known as obamacare. we're joined by republican congressman john plumbing from louisiana. congressman, thank you for being here. forty-one times. there has been some sort of effort to defund obamacare. it all but failed. do you think that this is going to be any different? >> actually, i do think so. as previous attempts were actual repeals in part or completely. none that i can recall were ever attached to must pass legislation. however, the cra is must pass legislation, and therefore i think we have a much better
2:05 pm
opportunity, especially considering the bad news of roles that

2:07 pm
believe that harry reid said in a statement after today's vote, the house bill, that -- you are being held hostage by two party and that -- anarchists who will see nothing but the extremes on any issue ended particular on obamacare if defunded are nothing else? >> actually, this morning before the vote we had a republican conference. it was a tremendous unity, at tremendous energy. right after righetti there in front of the cameras to discuss
2:08 pm
the victory of that vote. however, there is a little difference on how best to approach the defunding or delay of obamacare. ideologically whereon the same page all of us voted against obamacare. we get a chance today to vote up and down for obamacare. again, we would all be in unity the vote against obamacare. we are closer together now than probably any time in the last year so. ashley: and nothing about solutions. what do you think this country should do? should we just throw out every aspect of the new health care law and start again? >> well, a lot of people ask, well, why don't you fix obamacare? the problem is that obamacare is a giant rock receive that puts most of your decisions for health care than in the hands of secretary sibelius.
2:09 pm
cited giant skyscraper that has a very poor foundation. you have to tear it down and build it back up again. this crazy law was passed with no republican support. two-thirds of americans take this law. the republican study committee and the subcommittee and i am participating in actually launched the last couple of days and new law, at least a bill that would become law actually puts back of patients centered approach that depends upon the marketplace for efficiency and lower cost. you start with the lower cost and then you expand coverage. and then expanded coverage you do nothing to lower-cost. ashley: thank you for joining us. >> take care. tracy: good stuff. the amount of money spent passing it and now -- ashley: everyone is fighting every. tracy: we could fix our debt problem. well, stock stodges a september tapir, but could the fed still take action within weeks?

♪ tracy: the first major piece of president obama's energy plan. the epa and with a proposal to strictly limit carbon emissions from a new power plant. the coal industry says that these tougher rules require the use of costly and largely unproven technology. american electric power is one of the largest coal consumers in the country. ceo and president make a guess joins us now over the phone. i am sorry that we could not work it out to get to see a pretty face on camera. we still have to talk about this. it is important. last time you were on, you even said that this is done too fast, if the technology is not available which at this point it is still not, those costs are going right to the consume
2:23 pm
>> that is correct. the one thing, i mean, we are not entirely surprised by this because it is another bad message from coal coming from the epa. we are also disappointed because it does include carbon capture and storage, the technology that is neither proven at commercial scale, not cost-effective from and it is also a significant burden to the a existing utilities. about a 30% of their acidic the meeting if you put this equipment in place and even if you can do it, it is going to take away 30 percent of the outflow of the plant, and all three of those measures are measures that the epa should be using in their evaluation for these guys of rules. tracy: that is what is interesting. had they come up with the standard? the first coke plans to use this so-called new technology is not even going to open until may. it is not even available for you to do now if you wanted to. >> i think it is a real stretch because they are assuming that kind of technology will work.
2:24 pm
the specific environment. and then, secondly, the technology itself is just not proven at that commercial scale and is not readily available to everyone in the industry. we have a history of working with carbon capture and stories. we have the only integrated capture and storage project in the world, and we learn from this process that it is very, very detrimental to the operations of the unit, but also the cost is just toss a primitive and will drive up costs for customers. tracy: because you're not working out the kinks. i mean, anyone that buys a new generation carnets that something always goes wrong. it need * don't -- it needs time to work itself out. people will see their utility bills go up. >> the one thing, there is no near-term impact because this is the new unit, but also, it says that you cannot plan for the future in terms of development of these kinds of operations of coal-fire generations. it has been a big benefit to our
2:25 pm
country and the consumers in this country, and that think it is important for us to keep that as a part of our portfolio. it does come into effect don't take that away. tracy: they produce 35 percent of the electricity. we need to keep prices down at this point. >> that's right. tracy: you made a great point by pointing out that retiring older plants to sell to reduce emissions. >> absolutely. by retiring generations. by the way, lot more generations that will be retired just because of the epa mercury rules that came out previously. we will be retiring 20-25 percent of the coal freed in this century, and those emissions, by 2015, will already achieved this 17 percent reduction levels that the president must have in place by 2020, and we have already achieved the objectives. to go further is at this point going to be detrimental to the
2:26 pm
economy and detrimental to relieve the ability of our great. tracy: it just goes to show you that corporate america can do this on its own. thank you so much for taking the time to be with us. i hope that the fda rethinks everything. or is the epa. is it as the fda? and hungry. ashley: fyi. stocks are down, but still headed for a third straight winning week despite the evidence today. demint next multibillion-dollar money manager, how he is playing the fed, earnings, and so much more straight ahead. fifty-six peter barnes one-on-one with st. louis fed president coming up. first, take a look at some of today's winners and losers. the s&p 500 as we head out to break. look at netflix. everybody is watching tv in one shot on netflix. up 2%. we will be right back. ♪

2:32 pm
involved. there is a lot going on in this story. back to you. tracy: you have it all covered. we will see you in a little bit. peter barnes is in midtown manhattan with his interview with the fed president. peter. peter: hey, ashley, thank you. the decision, wednesday, not to taper was a close one. it was borderline. how close was it? >> i think it was a tough decision. the data that came in was more mixed than we would like to see. we had a story that said we were looking for a stronger second half of the year. the data may be was not confirming that quite as nicely as we had hoped.
2:33 pm
>> it was a 921 vote. >> we see a lot of votes for the chair. >> there is now some talk today based on your comments here in new york today that the fed may also now taper at the next meeting in october. discuss that and what would it take in terms of the data. what would it take in the data for you to support, to start tapering and not over. >> i think we would have to see some indication that the second half of the year was as strong as we were thinking it would be in june. maybe some revisions to past data. strong jobs report. some indication that gdp was coming in. things like that. i think that could cumulate to decisions to taper.
2:34 pm
the committee could make a decision. i am not saying that we are going to. you could argue that there will not be that much information coming in. the normal process for monetary policy is you have a meeting for a reason. you assess the data as it has come in. p21 you also want to make sure that the inflation market is on target as well. you may still wait on tapering. >> you could. i have been emphasizing that. i have been trying to push the committee.
2:35 pm
>> and lots of questions about the communications that we have had. is the feds credibility damaged? >> well, i do not think so. we said that this was a data depended decision. i think that there was some residual notion that there was some kind of automatic tracking down of qe that would occur over the next year-nine months. that turned out to be a false idea. we did say it does depend on the data. this was a meeting where the fomc was downgrading its outlook for 2013 and 2014. normally, you would not want to take accommodation off the table. peter: are there any improvements to the communication process that you think that the fed should adopt to help all of us get more clarity?
2:36 pm
>> i think that the fed will have to go to a situation where each meeting has a press conference by the chairman so that the chairman is in regular communication with financial markets and the financial markets can understand what he is saying and check on where he is. i think that will be important going forward. the chairman did say he can call a press conference if needed at the up over meeting. eventually, i would like to see all meetings -- we can do so. we can have the spokesperson for the committee go out and explain. peter: realistically giving the numbers, when do you think the market should, realistically start to look towards tapering. we will need a few more months of data.
2:37 pm
probably december will be the earliest. what do you say to that? >> i would not want to prejudge where the committee is going to go on all of this. this process is getting closer to what i think would be a normal monetary policy process. i would be telling you it depends on the data. that is a good process. it is small adjustments in monetary policy in response to small accumulations of data and that keeps everyone from being surprised. i think we are getting closer to a situation where we can make small adjustments. peter: thank you for joining us on fox business today. thank you for your time. ashley: peter, thank you very much, indeed. our next ghost is focusing on
2:38 pm
growth or lack there of. and a lot of dough. bob, thank you so much for joining us. he said possibly in october taper. that has gotten some play today. i would say all of this has brought uncertainty that to the markets. would you agree? >> absolutely. when asked when do you think that will be, he almost said it is data dependent. they will not tell us which month. they do not know which month. there is a little more uncertainty out there. markets do not like uncertainty. >> it is a little disconcerting
2:39 pm
that the fed continues to do this. >> you know, to some degree, i guess that is right. there are a lot of economists in the same boat. i think he also said they would like to see some revisions to activity. these lead indicators are pointing to not a great economy, but a little better. i am hopeful. ashley: let's get down to making business. >> i think the stock market is four years old and has further to go. consolidating now for a bit.
2:40 pm
my view is the rotation that began away from dependable defensive predictable stocks to things that are a little more cynical. i would be positioning in that direction slowly, but surely. ashley: the emerging markets have been out of play for some time. would you agree? >> there is no question that there is value. emerging markets have a great long-term story. if you believe that story, valuation levels like this, perhaps they argue for some nibbling away. some days it feels like catching a falling knife. in the last month or so, we have seen better action. i think we will see good action.
2:41 pm
ashley: 2013 on track to being one of the worst bond market in 40 years. is there anywhere that you would consider as an investment? >> we are obviously in a bit of a rally. i think some can withstand rising rates. there are areas where you think you can have some credit spread narrowing. ashley: do you have a target on the s&p by years end? >> marginally higher than here, at last. it will have been another fantastic year. ashley: very good. thank you so much for joining us.
