government run people could be the big losers in all this. connell mcshane will tell you what he thinks about adults who dressed up for halloween. that is all on this hour of markets now. ♪l: they go in the same category of people who wear other people's jerseys. [laughter] dagen: and there were moments he looked a little bit fuzzy. connell: let's go to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. nicole: dow jones industrials up

about three points. we will see if we can stop a major losing streak. you do see some action hovering and hugging the unchanged line. we see names like jpmorgan leaving the names on the dow jones industrials. we are watching apple pull back. dagen: to washington with less than a week of obama's health exchanges up and running. rich: the administration likes to say the fight over the health

care law over. it is not. they are releasing a new report shows eight does slow the increase of cost. the administration claiming 95% of consumers all have a choice of two or more health insurance companies. in texas, a family of four could pay $57 after tax credits for that bronze plan. premiums are higher in states with less competition. republicans, meanwhile, have a

different point of view. >> obamacare has not been fully implemented yet, but we can see the train wreck headed our way. rich: republicans point out that because health insurance premiums are lower than projected, does not make it low weight then they are now. they are just cherry picking information is what republicans claim. a recent fox news poll says seven out of ten voters are concerned. a majority wants to take healthcare system that 22009. most americans want to see it through. they do not want to see it through. october 1. we are almost there.

dagen: what about the filibuster that went all night long? rich: it is ted cruz making good on a political promise here. the senate will pass a government funding bill that will not defined the president healthcare law. dagen: i should have used filibustering as a joke rather than a technical word. it was interesting to watch. rich: it will and around noon. dagen: thank you very much. for the first time, we know how much insurance will cost.

you have standards for what health insurance will be. >> in some ways, people are having less choices. the government is mandating what insurance you get. you have to look at the value that people are getting. he is determining the value. dagen: that "wall street journal" report laid out some of what rich did.

you are supposed to have insurance through obamacare. if young people decide i am not buying insurance, come get me. the math simply does not work if you cannot get young people to sign-up for health insurance and pay for it. >> healthy people will say i would rather pay this relatively small fine then sign-up for this health insurance that i cannot afford. it is mandated to be more than what i need it to be for me. dagen: it depends on the state laws. you can get really bare-bones policy.

to that point and to the penalty that young people would have to pay, the gunmen would have to find you and thank -- make you pay it. >> it is not even that much of an issue. even if they hunt you down, it is not that much money overall. the mandate penalty is not enough to cover the cost. dagen: they reveal that there will be less choice in many instances within these health plans in terms of the doctors you can go to and the hospitals you can go to. there has already been that out in california.

again, that will be a wake-up call for people. cmac americans have wanted choice in healthcare. a majority of americans opposed this. now, majority of americans are against. dagen: there will be government subsidies. is there anyway to know know what the ultimate tally to the taxpayer will be? >> well, it it is going to be big. they say, oh, the subsidies make the premiums affordable. the people are you and me, the taxpayers. dagen: great to see you. thank you so much.

connell: in terms of the markets, history tells us investors may not care very much. we have a chief equity strategist with us now. what about the historical perspective. we have been through things like this before. >> when you look at the history, you know, you remember that as a great time for the market. what you don't remember are the two early shutdowns that didn't do anything. i think what we have to look at is ultimately, they will not shut the government down forever.

first of all, odds on both of those and is the debt ceiling much more important market wise? >> given where we have come from, it could lead to a temporary correction. we are looking at a temporary disruption i think i am listed as the high target on the street for next year. i just traveled for two days in the midwest and traveled with a lot of clients. the unique call here is that nothing is really different.

all the taper talked it was steeped in the yield curve. connell: you are polish then. it is a pretty good run. what is the difference between things are status quo and inflation is still low? >> you have to have a positive correlation. you will probably be plus or minus over the next two or three years. commodities are in a the client.

connell: do not be so insecure. we have plenty of people to make fun of before we get to you. [laughter] >> bring it on. connell: good to see you. dagen: remotes to your smart phone. one company that thinks it may soon have an answer to keeping you powered up. connell: china's online giant ready to skip over hong kong and come straight to the united states. dagen: adults and costumes are, well, exciting. connell: what take a look at oil.

reports that the company is offering amounts to settle criminal and civil investigations. it is all about the mortgage-backed security activity that we reported on. judge andrew napolitano joins us right here right now. is there a danger in settling this? >> there is a danger in telegraphing this to the public. the government has really that it is looking for a number of clues to the 7 billion. this is not something that you want to do on the public stage now we know that jamie dimon is

willing to cough up a billion. if the numbers, outside of those parameters, it looks as if somebody caved. >> this was a nickname given to a traitor. the government has no interest. if the shareholders do not like the way management lost that money. they can both the board out. they lost 4 billion. what was accomplished by that?

this is an effort by the government, pure and simple. whether jamie dimon and jpmorgan are worthy of cannibalization is another story. they certainly are not the blame for the mortgage crisis and 2008. fannie mae and freddie mac are far more to blame. if the government came knocking and said, mr. mcshane, we are contemplating indicting you for at and you said, will you take a dollars? you would be indicted for bribing.

live pictures of the senate floor, senator ted cruz just ended his 20 our plus control of the senate chamber so here's what is going on. this is the new day, they have adjourned and become the new day. we will see what you are looking at. the prayer and the pledge and senator harry reid, takes the floor. he is going to vote on the continuing resolution to fund the government and will invoke cloture. that is going to be an 1:00 eastern. after the prayer and the pledge senator harry reid beginning the day and began a procedural vote at this point and this will take as into friday. the debate will go 30 hours on funding the government. this is the house resolution which the senate is expected to take on but struck out the language and this is presented ted cruz who got so emotional

and passionate about this entire thing the house wants to the fund obamacare and the senate expected to strip out that one language and that is something senator harry reid can do. we wanted to show you these live moment in the senate as we have ended at this .20 hours of senator ted cruz of texas and his many filibuster. he took a few short breaks, he did dr. seuss, talked about star wars, a marathon session in the senate and it is all coming to the end. and it has been a very exciting day. dennis: who is in washington watching this drama? neil cavuto. did ted cruz move the needle on the obamacare debate? >> i don't think it will change the outcome of the senate with edible strip out that provision on health care and dump it in the house's laps.

the reality is is altered anyway. and back when he was a filibustering, make a name for yourself and unite the party core behind you and this idea you are not going to accept something with a base event corps, very much offended by this health care law, possibly with this base, seven of ten americans details of which are coming today that there are the more for health-care coverage and even those who are paid at or below what they were if a smaller percentage of americans, and limit in their benefits, no less than the new york times. if ted cruz had done nothing but remind people what was going on think of what happens during a filibuster, not just networks like fox business the people switch around what is this guy doing? green eggs and ham? what is he doing? rally in dance the health-care law, that is the thing i'm worried about, my boss is

cutting back on or looking kind of dicey for me and the kids. nothing more than reminds people of this collective and angst about this it served its purpose standby illustrate that by showing what the beside did challenge that type of view of this, getting senator durbin to challenge comments senator ted cruz was making. it is not going to move an eagle, it will go back on the house's left, get the health care thing out of it and it will be an abandoned budget resolution. the next issue that could come up senate monday when it is in the house's lab is whether it they do piecemeal continuing resolution that fund different aspect of a little bit at a time. it is half-assed but it is history. but this is what we were all about. with you like this or not filibusters do generate attention. in the mainstream media is

interesting when a texas state senator rails against an abortion rights bill, in the texas legislature goes on 13 hours about it she is the hero. this guy in this the mainstream media railing against the health-care law is the zero. i will let you decide whether that is fair but filibusters are part of the process and they're not the end of the world. dennis: harry reid is calling what senator ted cruz did a big waste of time. give us the other side of that trade. lou: you could argue this is a big waste of time. i want to hasten to add, it has not changed the time line harry reid was working on, pushed back as late as we can in the senate, at the last possible minute, back in the house without the health care thing trying it on, put the pressure on them to put up something fast where the government shuts down, it is the republicans' fault, it will look

horrible. be careful what you wish for because you end up getting exactly that. it might not be on the republican shoulders here. nothing senator ted cruz did was going to delay the timetable and nothing did. the eleventh hour dealsmaking will carry us into sunday and monday on the eve of what could be a partial government shutdown. roll their already exploring ways to shut down the government in increments, rolling shutdown. and it has happened 19 times since jimmy carter. dennis: there will not stage at down forever. who is on your show tonight from washington? lou: everybody and his uncle, john mccain criticized this process, rand paul himself who has been a big part of this process and a host of others, a big backer of republican candidates should be

conservative and will give them the cash. rick santorum was one of the beneficiaries but lot more coming. dennis: we will be watching. it is top of the our stocks every 15 minutes, nicole petallides on the floor of the stock exchange jamming out there. nicole: a lot of that has to do with washington. we heard a government shutdown moving and weigh in on wall street because they want to know what is going to happen in that uncertainty and you see the markets are hovering around the unchanged line. it was about 20 points off of its earlier highs of the day, the dow is gaining 13 points, 0.1%. the tech heavy nasdaq is up 1/3% and in the meantime keeping a close eye on facebook whether it gets a $50 mark and watching apple which is still a winner after their new phone launch and we continue to watch other news

as well. plenty of names on the dow doing very well. jpmorgan up, disney, there are plenty of winners. market taking it easy. cheryl: we will see when a few moments. the s&p, and the longest losing streak of the year. and one of the pressure of the market has been facing, other things at play, and why and joins us now. you say the slide in stocks over the past few sessions is no surprise and a piece of this certainly is what we are seeing in washington, correct? >> that is right. we certainly expect there will be some market weakness as we enter the last quarter of the year. we are seeing fewer new highs in the market, in the broader

indexes, particularly weakness in the financial sector, even jpmorgan and goldman sachs, big-name in that sector even though they are up today. we have been reducing our financial exposure but there should be some technical weakness in the market because of the budget talks. watching to see that action, certainly in the fundamental bull market. cheryl: basically looking at a sector rotation, you have your eye on financials from a technical perspective of but what about other things we might be missing at this point if we are so focused as investors on what is happening in washington and distracted by the fed what about what is happening overseas? emerging markets, where the money could be made if we take our eye off the ball right now? >> we think the emerging markets should be something to keep an eye on. number one it has been a

terrible performing area of the global markets this year. in fact a lot of investors are selling very emerging-market exposure and moving that money into u.s. stocks which have been performing much better. so there could be some great opportunities that will be created in emerging-market and we want to keep an eye on that area. cheryl: you have interesting domestic plays and one of them is that texas play where you are, where you are coming from and not southwest airlines and you say this is a value play so you certainly say this one and the other picked that you have, 30% to 40% upside on both of these stocks but talk about southwest. why do you believe in this? it has not been in favor with many investors. >> southwest airlines is out 13% this year. it is called all little bit we think because of the justice

department challenge an american airline merger. it is a well-run airline and the airline business is fundamental. cheryl: stock is up 43% since the beginning of the year. and the stock is up 21%. >> they are both value stocks and growth stocks and we are very excited about celestial group, even though carl icahn recently sold the 15% stake which we think management of pain encouraged him to do, it is an accelerating growth stock on the revenue side and the earnings side. they are a global leader in organic food. that is an area of the food market that has been growing

faster than the standard. cheryl: playing on that momentum as well. we love to have you back on the show. cheryl: congressman versus the ceo. top ranking democrat demanded aig ceo robert benmosche resign over controversial comments he made and liz macdonald has all the details in the bottom line. what is going on? liz: robert benmosche giving interviews to the wall street journal talking about the public outrage over the $415 million in bonuses paid at aig after it got the $1 billion bailout. and the outrage is about public interest to stir public anger and get everybody out there with pitchforks and hangman nooses compared it to what we did in the deep south.

i think it was just as wrong that robert benmosche has apologized saying he didn't mean to offend anybody, poor choice of words, but rep elijah cummings, the ranking democrat of the house committee on oversight got him very upset comparing what is going on at aig to lynching, stabbing, burning where people were shocked in the deep south, here is what he is saying. if it is true he has demonstrated, quote, fundamental inability to lead the modern global company in a responsible manner and resigned immediately. dennis: he said something that upsets cummings doesn't mean he is incapable of running a big company. they did a pretty good job and aig paid back a surprising amount of the $180 million and what i want to do, upset about the racial angle or just upset that here's a guy criticizing

washington which played a big role in causing a meltdown. >> the fact that robert benmosche is comparing the outrage basically to the deep south lynchings and the fact they got a big bailout and this was not the first time, in 2009 it would be better compared to outrage over overpaid underperforming yankee players than what is going on in the deep south where people were brutalized. robert benmosche said also too big to fail is working. the system has been fixed and is saying i got my $39 million compensation job with the bailout so bailout did save the system. dennis: i can tell but wonder if this was manufactured outrage aimed at beating up on the bankers again. jamie dimon was the one guy that criticized washington and facing seven probes offering $3 billion to cover settlement and the government says not enough.

liz: you can't bring up jamie dimon. a lot of wall street workers could have taken the aig job. dennis: we got to go. we are in a hurry. the company that invented the office cubicle and the chair you may not be sitting in unless you are a company's chief. we are here with the ceo herman miller next. cheryl: watching gasoline prices moving lower across the country especially in california. sandra smith at the cme looks at some ways to go around gas prices.

between macy's which originally had the deal but later made another deal and this is still going on, the judge said that there will be a ruling in a short time rather than a later time pertaining to this debacle. in the meantime those shares to the downside, j.c. penney new lows and goldman sachs accommodations of weak inventory rebuilding and underperforming in the department, just hit those liquidity levels and underperformed on the company. dennis: thank you. durable goods orders this morning reported in higher in the month of august expected to decline, a positive sign for companies like herman miller, creator of the office cubicle. jeff flock is at the herman miller design yard in holland, michigan. jeff: herman miller, did you ever wonder what the offices of the company that is perhaps the premier office furnituremaker look like? you need to wonder no more. i am here with the man who runs

an all, brian walker, ceo of herman miller. since 2004. i got to ask what is going on in washington first? i know government is a big part of your business but more importantly stability in the market is a big part of your business. what about what is happening in washington? >> the general move on the budget to get the budget control cause the government by the industry is a big impact but more importantly our industry trains paula on business confidence, people are confident and have a long run they need a fair amount of time, build a new building, every time we go through one of these budget wrangling deposits business to get nervous and causes the industry to not get full growth potential. dennis: got some pictures of that but look in here first of all, the inventor of the office cubicle and i don't see any cubicles. where did they go? >> what we would all work station is alive and good. a big bank last night we were

>> 28 minutes past the hour your fox news minute. ohio used its last available dose of the execution drug this morning to execute harry mcjr. who was convicted of killing a neighbor and a police officer responding to the shooting. he was the 26 person executed this year and the third in ohio. the cost of mailing a letter could soon be going up. the postal service has proposed a rate increase for services that would include raising the cost of a first-class lltter from $0.46 to $0.49. a preapproved would go into effect in january and would

raise $2 billion in annual revenue. postal service expects to lose $6 billion this fiscal year. heading farther south, n.c. doughnut chain expanding to south america. it deals with the subsidiary to open 25 stores over the next five years. the chain has 800 stores globally and those are your news headlines on the fox business network. back to dennis. dennis: gasoline prices tumbling from 24 straight days to the lowest national average since january. the good news is more price breaks may head our way. sandra smith have played as in today's trade. sandra: economists are predicting gasoline prices at the pump are going to fall another 20 to $0.25 from where they are today. the national average $3.44.

and if you go back your ago, around $0.37 as a national average so the trend certainly lower and crude oil prices come off of those two year highs in the syrian concerns that boosted prices, hundred dollars a barrel and we're back with breaking through the $100 a barrel mark and as that happens gas prices continued to come down, the 24 straight day, lowest price since jan. 30 first earlier this year. not only do we have record refining happening but less demand, the driving season is over and also shrinking crude-oil prices, how do you play this in the stock market? look at the oil companies. what happens is if you still have crude prices above $100 a barrel and gasoline prices getting cheaper, into their margins, something you want to know if you are hanging on to

any of those big oil companies in your portfolio. this could boost them and be a negative for their earnings growth but that is the way to look at it but stock market nonetheless crude which had been higher earlier in the session now down on an inventory report we got this morning so that would be in line with the bearish sentiment as far as gas and oil prices. cheryl: fox business all-star showdown and we are days away from the beginning ofn showdown. oliver porche and robert luna will be back to go head to head with brand new stock picks and their reputation is on the line. q austin, the music, the winner. takes home this.

nairobi. officials receiving forensic support for the u.s. britain and canada. and the president confering security forces killed 5 suspected terrorists and apprehended 11 more. the siege has left 70 dead and scores more injured and concerns malls and other soft targets at home go to a similar attack and brian finch about that and -- of paula stewart title. >> global securities attorney. dennis: what do you say? i think it is overkill of malls in tiny towns feel like they are vulnerable to a terror attack? >> first thing you need to think about is what kind of attack was this? basically a military operation. not the kind of thing you will see in the united states. if you read the initial reports terrorists crude served machine guns getting through porous border with automatic weapons and buying automatic weapons.

and having enough explosives to implode them all when the security force came in and that is not what we will see in the united states. >> and shooting up some people. the fact that our nsa is looking at so much e-mail traffic and video chat. and whether the nsa, a big market in new york city. >> that we don't know whether they came across the or not or sharing information, and this is a larger point regarding the issue of ed snowden, nsa for years, to intervene on these on the front end. and the potential rollbacks in terms of their collection of information-have a erverse effect where if we have more privacy and decrease collection of information it could increase the likelihood of something happening not necessarily on the scale of what happened in kenya

but could be something more dangerous than we would have liked. dennis: a prominent mall like mall of america in minneapolis monitoring the situation, time warner center mall in manhattan basically very upscale. if an attack happened where do you think most of the public blame would go on law-enforcement, preventing or knowing about it or the mall owner for not being secure enough and where should the blame go? >> obviously first and foremost from public relations perspective it will go on the mall owner, didn't have the right guards or cameras, that is not true. the mall for years have been ramping up, and the center for shopping security put out training courses. and rangers international, u.s. security associates worked with the department of homeland security. and to maintain an open shopping

environment to the public. in reality if we suffer an event like this it would fall on the shoulders of the u.s. government because if you allow militants to coming, a choir at the weaponry, conduct a coordinated attack from multiple directions, that is the responsibility of law enforcement. dennis: good perspective, appreciate it. cheryl: you have probably seen him on television, maybe you have been to one of his restaurants, his town house may be. david brooks is going to be here. dennis: netflix about to face head winds. that story ahead in media minute. um... where's mrs. davis? she took an early spring break thanks to her double miles from the capital one venture card. now what was mrs. davis teaching? spelling. that's not a subject, right? i mean, spell check. that's a program. algebra. okay. persons a and b are flying to the bahamas. how fast will they get there? don't you need distance, rate and... no, all it takes is double miles.

so we are expanding in this year, two in chicago, aspin is going to open in january and on 38th street in march. and other opportunities out there so we take the good deals. cheryl: and bloomingdale's, and you are famous for town house, and he to say this. and it is that 15%. and a food cost inflation, and the new health-care law. >> i get to it in a minute but as far as food costs we are at a site where we can afford to buy navarrone trucks and go to the market and cut out the middleman. the cost has gone down a couple of backups and we built a nice infrastructure with the new president and director of apps and we are running it like a company should be run and that

takes awhile to get the shaft's mentality into the business mentality if you run it correctly. cheryl: speaking of health care one thing we're seeing are the big restaurant chains. is not the culinary expertise, the major chains are cutting back, the thing about hiring each staffing level because of the health-care issue. what are you doing? >> we have to roll with it. we have 600 employees. each employee will cost as $1,000 per employee with health care. the money has to come from support, raise prices, operate smarter and we can't avoid it. so we will see, roll with it as it goes. certain big companies try to cut hours and inject two jobs and we try to avoid that but we don't have all the answers. cheryl: one of the things entertainment weekly wrote about your gig on rob lowe, an opportunity, to miss the semi

and robert eiger on this show yesterday said netflix will have a tough time cornering the market. he said that to investors earlier in the day and disney was likely to make new of original shows for amazon and google. that means netflix can these higher costs for tv and the original shows and cable systems and amazon google fed up those prices. a new survey put cable systems on notice. 70% of the with which we could order cable, price waterhouse coopers report out today fines of 70% of us want to split up the cable, 65% would buy a ten channel for more, 69% basic cable, surprising almost 60% would buy sports and 72% said they would a $2 a month per show, 50% will pay $3 a month. channel. the overall debt that is that is a lot cheaper than the cab bill monthly really is which is why you are never going to see it happen. cheryl: so interesting, the emmys on saturday night with the
