the government reopens and the threat of default is removed and continuing harm that these two situations have caused to our economy can stop. >> the president said from the beginning he would not negotiate on this now that it looks like there's a deal, deerfield the fulfill that pledge? >> what the president made clear what his position that he would not allow a situation to develop where he paid ransom to any party in congress that was trying to extract unilateral political concessions in return for congress fulfilling fundamental responsibilities, and he believes that is the right position for him to take, and it is the right position for presidents of the future to

take. our economy is dependent on faith and credit that invested in it by investors around world. in other words there is a real even if intangible value to the save nests of investing in the united states and as we discussed many times in the past days and weeks threatening that. does real harm and obviously default would cause even more harm but there was already a price that has been paid as we saw in october of 2011 and we have seen again now in the various ways that the flirtation with crossing that line and flirting with default has brought about consequences. he felt and feels it is the right position to take and again

applaud the leaders of the senate for coming together and working out a bipartisan solution. >> is there any concern even with this deal that downgrade from the credit rating agencies? >> i would refer you to treasury for that kind of assessment. we focus on the things that we control which is calling on congress to quickly act on this compromise agreement to ensure the government reopened and the threat of default is removed. >> lastly this meeting, additional budget talks later this year, once those talks are under way will the president insists that revenue continued to be on the table? >> the president has insisted in these budget negotiations he has been calling for all year everything has to be on the table. that will be his position going

what he believes is a fair approach to resolving our budget challenges is reflected in the budget he submitted. he knows that even though that was a compromise proposition from the beginning nd reflected the offer e-mail john boehner at an end of last year that he will not get budget negotiation everything he wants and neither will democrats and neither will republicans and that is the nature of compromise but he firmly believes balance when it comes to further reducing our deficit and building on the work that has been done over the past four years in which we have reduced our deficits by half we need to continue to take a balanced approach so that no sector of society and fairly has to bear the brunt of that project. that has always been his position and it will be his position moving forward.

>> can you just give us a little color how the president was informed of the deal? what his reaction was? >> no. >> none? >> i think we are looking to capitol hill for action to be taken. the president as you know has been in contact with leaders in congress as have members of his team and we are encouraged by the progress we have seen and hope that it is fulfilled through votes in the senate and the house. >> can you give us any more about how he was involved in the process? >> as you know he has had meetings with leaders of congress, had phone calls with leaders of congress, invited all members of both houses to the white house and it is also the case that we don't inform you of every phone call that he makes. neither do members of congress or others. he has been engage in this process.

his team has been engaged in this process. ultimately our position has been consistent and clear and therefore not that complicated to communicate either to you or the public or congress. we have simply urged all sides to put aside efforts to achieve partisan advantage and leverage and move forward with an agreement that opens the government and raises the debt ceiling so the threat of default does not hang over us at this time. >> the department said yesterday with this mess was resolved once that is done the day after going to be pushing they call on immigration reform. did you think a recipe for success, immigration reform, one divisive issue is deal with it after another divvsive issue? >> the president believes one of

the consequences of these manufactured crises is time is taken away from the pursuit of other goals that we have as the nation. that includes economic goals that go to the heart of his agenda to build a better building better bargain for the middle class and it goes also to the project of bringing about legislation he can sign that comprehensively reforms our immigration system in this country. that legislation passed the senate with a significant bipartisan majority. and he absolutely believes that the house ought to take up that legislation and pass it but as we discussed in recent days that is not a partisan pursued. it is the opposite of a partisan pursued because it requires votes from both parties and all

so -- would benefit both parties. >> putting it right away increases the chances of yielding a result? >> the president was simply reflecting that unfortunately, even though we have been pushing for comprehensive immigration reform all year long and it is a major priority no question that the decision by the house to shut the government down and flirt with default has forced him and everyone in congress to pay attention to those problems and those crises rather than the many other things we could and should be working on and immigration reform is one of them. there are many proponents of comprehensive immigration reform in the republican party and within a broader republican universe so this is not -- he is not saying he is going to push some democratic agenda item. he wants to cootinue the effort

that has been under way all year, to try to pass a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform legislation that will strengthen the economy, help our middle class, reduce the deficit, and make us more competitive in the future. that is one of the many priorities that he will be pushing and he hopes members of congress will be pushing once we can move past these unfortunate and unnecessary crazies. >> does he have a better shot to do that right now? >> i don't think that i can sort of place quantttative odds on the prospects of any of this, congress is a difficult institution to make predictions about. thing to do and we are going to push for. we think there's a strong argument to be made on a whole array of areas when it comes to immigration reform.

it is economically the ight thing to do. it is the right thing to do when it comes to deficit reduction, the right thing to do when it comes to ensuring the best and brightest from around the world come to get an education stay here and start businesses, the right thing to do when it comes to further strengthening our border security. there is something in that bill for every one. which is why it is the right thing for america. >> a phone conversation, when was the last time the president spoke to the speaker of the house? >> i have no new conversations to read out to you but as i noted many times, so don't read anything specific in to this the president had conversations with congress we did not read out in all cases. at this time i have no readouts to provide. >> the house will vote on this? >> i will refer you to the

house, actions -- >> both houses will act swiftly. and remove the threat of default and continued brinksmanship. i apologize. >> this agreement represents -- >> the red sox game wasn't even late. and what about john lackey? moving on. >> does this agreement reppesents complete win. >> looking at a press briefing, and waiting for the house, and

one key statement. and republicans will be talking about which is everything, and everything has to be on the table on upcoming budget negotiations and the affordable care act, obamacare is not negotiable. is this a change or a victory for ted cruz. and made this an issue. nicole: we did just peer from ted cruz. and the senate will undertake today. and stocks in rally mode. and the deal right ahead and did ceiling deadline, and it is short term, and it is significant, and grow confidence

in this deal. >> we have a conclusion of this today. and the stars are aligned right now. and get this bill lot of congress to the president's text for legislative languages for the u.s. senate and we're hearing from senator ted cruz that he won't slow up any voting. and get that to the house at some point today and the house could pass and go on to the president. and ted cruz won't hold up, nobody else will hold up. and days of procedure on this and won't happen but we have to wait and see. on the house side republicans have not said what has ever done. and they bring this to a vote and expected that will happen and indications that the house will bring it up and house republican congress meets at 3:00 this afternoon.

and we can expect that they will announce their next move after that. plenty moving on capitol hill. just to go over this one more time fund the government to january to increase the debt ceiling. and allow the treasury department to extend the deadline. and open up the budget conference and you are talking about it right there, everything on the table, once i get to negotiations how much is on the table. and republicans want to do entitlement reform, democrats want to raise taxes. >> how many republicans have to vote with democrats assuming they vote in favor of the deal? >> you probably need 20 or so and and you might have people mix over too. the thinking is they have enough that they have to wait until after this to be certain. >> you and i were both in washington when the t.a.r.p. was first put up for a vote and

failed and no one thought that possible. it looks like we are going to be out of the woods but we are not there yet. you never know what might happen. there could be that one senator who could mess this up for someone in the house. >> all this optimism we are hearing right now about how the house to move this up, remember the optimism that ndamukong suh is a was a done deal? this afternoon. dennis: rich edson, thank you very much. said nicole: let's bring in a university professor and former deputy assistant to president george w. bush. welcome back to the show. how much damage do you believe, regardless what happens, how the data unfolds from here how much damage has been done? >> there is enough damage to go around on all sides. the president has been weakened by his lack of lladership. the resolve of the house and senate have been weakened by this lasting as long as it has

but the bottom line is nothing is solved assuming this goes through. we are kicking the can down the road. the real winner here is the holiday season. the retail season has been saved by a self created crisis so that is the good news, we are not going to have this overburdening created crisis during the holiday season during retail sales. hopefully in the next year we will have the leverage as republicans necessary to bring the kind of compromise the president says is now on the table but time will tell. nothing has been solved. lori: your optimistic about the holidays season. i hope you are right. goldman sachs the out a survey that says consumers have pared back spending 40% of them thousand people they serve a. you also have another economic indicator home builder confidence, the lowest in several months. the confidence issue, the self-fulfilling prophecy, this could extend way beyond. you can kick the can down road

so many times, the daily beast that a brilliant headline, toxic ground hog day. >> the problem is sttll fair. at an end of the day we spend too much and take in enough but we are spending too much, way beyond our means and that is where the systemic problem of entitlements must be tackled with and we have to get our economic house in order for budgeting and debt, nothing has been solved by this crisis. the only good news is at least it is not going to be the kind of hangover that we would have if this precipitated through the holidays. lori: you were an adviser to president george w. bush. if you were advising president obama or republican in the white house how would you read -- advise? how do we break this cycle of dysfunction and stalemate? >> don't glow. there is no gloating to go on when we kick the can down a row. there's enough blame to go around. of the president is sincere he needs to engage tomorrow on work

that needs to be done in january and february, have meaningful talks with all the leadership and nobody leaves the room until there is consensus. the president has to be engaged. he is not and at his peril because this crisis would not have entered where it is today but for the lack of leadership on his part. lori: he got what he wanted as far as obamacare. do you think he could parlay the political capital? sounds like you agree with me to give all little. to sit down with this supercommittee, this conference committee to really catch out. a big budget deal and revenue reform. >> obamacare has to be tweaked and i am very kind by using the word tweet. but for this crisis the story would have been on the failure of the obama rollout and this is just the beginning, not only that people have trouble and rolling. the system that is been brought upon them, in january of nexx

year. so i think problems for the president are just beginning and obamacare is starting to hear the american people's frustration. lori: is the problem with republican strategy, we heard senator veteran on the floor standing by, his idea, his demand to repeal the no exemption language in the latest proposal. why not just give up on obamacare and let it imposed on its own and republicans use it to their advantage in the next election cycle to say we did everything we could to save you from this yet democrats demanded be rammed down your throat? >> after the first of the year the president will be the one who understands tweaks have to be made to obamacare and can't be made unilaterally like the exemption of businesses. has to be done pursuant to the way you change was in thhs country through congress. the democrats understand obamacare cannot work as intended in its present state. it must >> to. how aggressive is that change

and how willing is the president and democratic congress to make that change the effective on the american people? lori: fitch put us on credit watch negative. do you think a downgrade would serve as even serious more serious warning, saw the message in the short-term bond market interest rates spiking up, stock market's rallying today so don't know how you interpret that but does the u.s. have full faith and credit deserve a downgrade because of this debacle? >> i don't think it does. the cavalry will come in at the right time, a cooler heads will prevail but the markets will be looking for the next battle and you don't have to look further than january or february of next year. one mack always a pleasure, ttank you. dennis: stocks are in rally mode and the dealing congress looks more likely. jason was there is on the floor of the stock exchange, phil flynn in the pits of the cme. we just heard our last guest say it looking toward the next battle. on december 13th they have this

spending and budget plan in place. are markets looking that far ahead or looking at today and popping the champagne? >> don't know if they're popping the champagne but the people who have been waiting on the sidelines that are underperforming in the market year to date, short window to catch up to everyone else and dec. third is the deadline for these assets managers and that is what you are seeing right now. the immediacy of the debt crisis is off the table at least it would appear and what you are seeing now is chasing of yields, it will reflect that we through the rest of the year and when they approach kicking the can at least a portfolio managers will start at ground zero but for now the sky is the limit. dennis: we did not get a 10% potential lot of people thought we would get on the seventeenth october. thank you very much. i want to turn to commodities. oil prices jumped above $102 a barrel. tell me about this.

>> what it is is an assumption if the government doesn't go under we will see some economic growth and that is good for oil demand but we came up to see the resistance area. we haven't really followed through that much. we are pushing for the $103 a barrel, taking it as a positive for the demand side. what is the interesting is the run up in the gold market, good pop on the gold market. a gold traders are rejoicing because they won't sell the gold from fort knox at least for a while, at leasttq e or more inflation, road. >> nice pop on gold as well. thank you very much. webmac other news today in the battle between the largest exchanges, score one for the nyse,,twitter heading to the big board. dennis: charlie gasparino actually told you this would happen and he is here next to tell us the latest.

cheryl: breaking news, nancy pelosi confident democrats can deliver the votes, telling fox, quote, i think we're in good shape. we know the gop will meet at 3:00 p.m. eastern. it is all happening fast and furious, keep on top of all. >> there's breaking news which

you know about three weeks ago, the stock exchange winning the coveted tweet listing that social media powerhouse broke with tradition bucking the trend of high-profile tech companies choosing nasdaq but how is twitter doing when it comes to revenue and losses. >> we learned a few important details on that but sources telling the wall street journal, october 28th, pricing mario draghi and listing on the fifteenth. and the loss of $54.5 million. and good news revenue is up 16 the points. and the same growth rate of the previous quarter. end user growth by 6%, and down 7% and 10% from the first quarter. and accounted for total ad revenue. and down 75%.

twitter reveals how much cheryl casone. disney has 17.9%, and capital of 6.8%. and union square bank is 0.9 and global head 5%. and what you are looking for, to handle investor relations. and the newly created at twitter. adam: we will be watching that. lori: charlie gasparino the first report twitter will head to the stock exchange. welcome back and interesting tidbit you didn't realize about this. >> let's be clear about what we reported, we didn't quite say -- lori: the credit where credit is due. you saw with the tea leaves were pointing. >> and i should point out my partner in crime in this reporting was the good does a lot of stuff for fox business and foxbusiness.com and was the

first to report twitter was leaning towards the new york stock exchange as opposed to the nasdaq and the nasdaq is the traditional place that for years did all the major tech ipos, microsoft, apples on the nasdaq, this is a huge win for the stock exchange. why did this happen? pretty clear that technological issues have been hit with plus the fact that the twitter ipo, the facebook ipo in 2012 didn't go off that well. that was a problem and that is being generous and they can and said this cannot screw up. twitter is a different company than facebook. i am not tech expert. shea could give you more. lori: she is much cuter. >> what i'd do know is if you look at facebook, a much bigger company, making a lot of money. and offering -- even a big company making money, they can bounce back from us grew up

which they did. shares are up dramatically. i don't know if a company that is in the red like a twitter which has a disastrous ipo can take the chance that this ipo, this idea is not going to be as big, the company is not as big, it is losing money and this idea cannot go off without a hitch. here is the thing, nassaq molested effort to try to get the deal. katie reported over the weekend they were confident that they convince twitter if you look at the shares, how they trade on nasdaq, tec shares lately, the nasdaq has done well, provides -- it helps boost your share price, that is why they were saying facebook is benefiting from that and other shares in nasdaq 100 which they offered would get in we should get out nasdaq did not know about what went down until they were, until the mid it in the paper. this is how of the loot they

were and he reported last night, this is pretty interessing. a huge blow for the nasdaq. i think the nasdaq as an exchange is really right now. bob greifeld is a very good manager, some of this is having bad luck but i do think this is a company that will come under tremendous pressure to do something dramatic. have to do something strrcturally i think. lori: you have been on record saying twitter is a small offering, they're being very conservative, now that they of the confidence of the nyse listing, do you think the will of the offering? >> one of the things we have been reporting for two years is twitter did not want to be like facebook. they thought facebook increased the size of the offering too much. it probably heard the initial

pricing, they didn't like the way they handled it or the way the exchange handled it. they wanted to do something different than facebook so they will keep this, they filed for $1 billion and increase and the new york post has written as much as $2 billion. i would be surprised if they go that much, i don't think they will do impassive deal. this is a deal late want to establish a price, have a lot of work to do. if you look at the reason the expenses are up, throwing a lot of money to marketing, this is a company, and -- i love twitter better than facebook. and unfortunately -- here is the thing about twitter. i use as a news feed, for a reporter, a very important tool but can you monetize that? i don't know. ibm going to be ads? yes.

how they monetize that -- >> missing from this is how much co-founders still have, the actual amount, it is escaping me. big money is getting out and selling. >> jpmorgan is a big investor in this. they were baked into the ipo from the beginning because they're one of the three underwriters. >> and actually backed it. in television. backstab it is hard to believe. thanks for the jetblue stockholding and as investors await the final word on timing of those, the debt ceiling and the government. >> we will ticket down to the wire. >> the entire system is broken

right now and needs to be revamped for the american people to be heard and listened to and not be pawns in aapolitical game. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover and learn frfrom what ha so we could be when we made oua better, safer the gulf, bp haenergy companys: i can tellou - safy is at the heart of everything weo. w've added cutting-edge technology, ke a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitong center, whe experts watcover all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment h never been stronger.

adam: let's head back to the floor of the new york stock exchange and nicole petallides. stocks are sharply higher but they are off the highs of the day, right? >> look, we're in rally mode. run-up here. the dow is up 192 points. we are off the highs of the day. the highest point we were up 206 points. certainly didn't lose a lot of our gains. you're seeing gains from retailers, drugs, banks across the board. some people are trying to play catch-up. some actually bought the dips yesterday and they're the lucky ones. look quickly at the vix which had a wild run yesterday and now down, right? we saw up 20%. down 20%.

the drop of today is the biggest drop we've seen in 2013 and the vix is trading below the levels before the government shutdown. so it certainly shows you the volatility we have seen. back to you. adam: thank you, nicole. lori: so markets clearly optimistic we will get some kind of resolution to the gridlock going on for weeks since the government shut down, really weeks before that. as you know the deadline for debt default inches ever so close. there has been progress. the senate reach ad bipartisan deal. the white house is calling on both houses of congress to act quickky. peter barnes ahead of the house gop meeting which will be 3:00 p.m. eastern. >> that's right, lori. jay carney, press secretary, briefing reporters. i stepped out of the briefing to chat with you. he is praising this effort by harry leed and mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate to broker a compromise, however, no vote has yet been scheduled in the senate

for that. one aide saying it may be later today, maybe around the dinner hour over in the senate. house republicans meeting at 3:00 to talk about this after their plan went down in flames yesterday. and the white house is asking congress to pass this as soon as possible. take a listen. >> the president applauds leader reid and minority leader mcconnell for working together to forge this compromise and encourages the congress to act swiftly to end this shutdown and protect the full faith and credit of the united states of america. >> now the bill would reopen and fund the government through january 15th. it would extend the debt ceiling through february 7th. it would require income verification for people who get subsidies for their health care under obamacare. this is an antifraud provision. and it would require the house and senate to have a budget conference committee to try to

work out a compromise on the 2014 budget and possibly compromise on tax and entitlement reforms by mid-december. for now, the mitch mcconnell says, the republican leader, they're putting aside the fight on obamacare. take a listenn >> the relief we hoped for is to reopen the government, avoid default, and protect the historic cuts we achieved under the budget control act. this is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly. p buu it is far better than what some had sought. >> so at this hour the expectation is the senate will likely take the first votes on this. when it goes over to the house speaker boehner will bring it to the floor where he will need we expect a lot of democratic votes to get it across the finish line.

>> so it ain't over yet. thank you, peter barnes. >> no. thank you. adam: stocks in the green on optimism about a debt extension deal. with all of this being pushed go immediately to scott wren. he is from wells fargo advisors. scott, i want to get into ire lawsuitest noted. the bond market not falling apart over fears investors will be not paid. you say i have a void tte hype. buy on the dips. >> i would have loved to seen a 10% correction because i think it would be a opportuniiy. shockingly here we'll take this thing down to the last minute. wouldn't surprise me if the final house vote, the final votes on this continuing resolution came at 11 at night, something like that. it will be down to the wire but looks like something will o through. in my mind, i thought there is no way they would not raise the

debt ceiling. no way the u.s. would default. i was confident of that. of course the probability was not zero but it was awfully close to zero. adam: we're not quite there. let's jump ahead to deccmber 13th for budget negotiations and january 15th for the continuing resolution and that runs out and debt ceiling february 7th. i think you're optimistic if we go through these shenanigans again stay in the market, stay in equities? >> we'll go through these shenanigans again with continuing resolutions. we could do this next year's elections. a lot of politicians would like to see the tough decisions rolled out past that by end of the 2014 the s&p 500 will be around 1850, 1900. that is our target. i think the gains are in for this year and i don't expect really much follow-through to tte upside here. it wouldn't surprise me at all if the market came back. this is a touch above our

year-end 2013 target. i think the market is pretty fair valued right now. that is one reason i wanted to see that pullback but needless, whatever the cases, i think this modest growth, modest inflation environment we're in is going to continue and we want our clients to stay invested. if we get some pullbacks here which our work says we'll see some more volatility they need to take advantage of that most retail clients, ours included, have way too much cash on the sideline. they're way underinvested in the stock market. adam: scott, let me challenge you. this is not me that will challenge you. it's a nobel prize winner. dr. schiller says the market is overbought. not time to stay in. time to take profits. why is he wrong? >> i think type of environment we'll see, we'll see a little better economic growth not only here in the states but around the world. in my valuation, in my valuation models, valuations are not stretched. robert schiller looks at pes differently than what i do and based on his method i mean,

let's face it, robert schiller's method of looking price to earnings ratios has shown the market overvalued for a long time and so, you know obviously we have a nobel prize winner there. the guy knows what he is talking about. but based on our work here the market is fairly valued for the end of this year. if you're a trader it's a good idea to take some money off the table but our clients are not traders, they are trying to build wealth over time. adam: scott and i would point out there a lot of nobel prize winners who got it wrong after they got the prize. thanks for joining us. >> take care, guys. lori: that is a great answer. that is putting someone on the spot to ask them to challenge a nobel prize winner. adam: especially when it is schiller. lori: no kidding. that is a great point. the market has been overvalued for a long time many would say. soda drinker ditch diet coke. what is beverage maker is doing about it now. adam: it is not just washington. we have latest out of dallas.

tomorrow. >> so we want to bring in charles payne. markets are in rally but what kind of deal do we have here? i will use imagery we all can relate on. is this a yugo with a flat tire or a cadillac brand new out of the show room? >> i think somewhere in between but closer to the yugo. it moves. it will take us to after the holiday season of the back in january we'll have yet another cliffhanger. i was talking to stuart varney, we're becomeing a nation of cliffhangers. we can't wait for the last episode of "breaking bad." the market reflects that mentality. we're almost act discuss topped to it. just don't take us over the cliff. we can deal with all the shenanigans leading up to it. lori: dow, 183 points is getting ahead of it here? goldman sachs put out a survey, people are bringing in spending during all-important holiday season. builder confidence is lacking a little bit. they're shaving points off overall accident. d purchase as shut down

continues. >> i think shutdown will bee3 convenient excuse. i think all the things you named were already in place. sales will be compare tough comparisons year-over-year. consumer spending was already so, so. people are not using credit cards. last three months in row consumer credit, credit card debt went down three times in a row. people are not using credit cards. this is before, long before the so-called crisis began. so i don't disagree that is in the cards but i think counter argument will be, well, you know, we're still creating 150,000 jobs. the fed is still pumping and global economy looks a lot better. top 25 percentage gainers in the market, nine had the word china them. so the global economy. emerging markets maybe they're coming back to a leadership role. lori: you don't see the u.s. more vulnerable? >> i still see the u.s. still being the most worrisome part of the rally but i see other parts intact. adam: charles payne, thanks a

same as the last beige book, which was used at the last fomc meeting, and they didn't taper, looks like that this might be teeing up another no taper decision. they're looking very closely at jobs and employment and the beige book says quote, employment growth remained modest in september. several districts reported that contacts were cautious to expand payrolls surrounding uncertainty with implementation of affordable care act, obamacare and fiscal policy more generally. we saw that in the last fomc statement and in the press conference with chairman bernanke. the beige book also raises concerns about the recent backup in mortgage rates and how that may affect housing. that remains a concern over at the fomc. and on consumer spending, the beige book says that consumer spending grew modestly in most districts. quote, growth in retail sales was steady in most districts.

ashley and tracy. ashley: same as you go. steady progress but not exactly setting world on fire. we'll see what the fed makes of that. peter, where do we stand at this hour on this debt deal? >> welcoming this agreement over in the senate between the majoritt leader, harry reid and mitch mcconnell, the republican leader. and we now are being told that the, that the senate will likely vote on, will take the first vote on this, probably around 5:00 this afternoon. that is what senators have been told. there have been some speculation on whether or not the house might go first. there was some, parliamentary procedural concerns, ideas, possibilities here, that if the house did it first, it might speed passage in the senate, might limit filibuster. but now, one of the main opponents of the legislation, senator ted cruz of texas, is @elling reporters that he does not plan to delay the vote in

the senate. so it looks like no filibuster from senator cruz or any of his allies. so expect a vote later this afternoon. ashley, tracy, back to you. ashley: peter barnes, thank you so much. >> you bet. tracy: ss that brings us to our twitter question, what is your message to congress. there is either not enough hours in the day or really only comes down to two small words. tweet us and we will flash your answers during this hour. now here with their message to congress our all-star panel. nicole petallides on floor of the new york stock exchange. fox business contributor phil flynn of price futures group in the pits of the cme. "wall street journal" washington bureau chief, jerry seib in d.c. our very own gerri willis live on set. nicole, we'll start with you, markets are up, i don't know, at this point do they even care what is going on down there? >> i think they care a lot. we are digesting so much information in just a couple of

days. of course we've seen the volatility index, the vix, moving left and rrght and up and down. it has been wild. tracy: right. >> today's move pulling back has been the biggest move in 2013. less fear in the market. we just got our news from the beige book. everybody, it was tapering and that kind talk was pushed aside but here it is front and center once again, not likely to taper based on what peter barnes told us. and we saw the markets skyrocketing and jumping as we started to hear they were getting closer and closer to a deal, so much so crossed 200 point mark. we're up 206 points. financials leading the way on heels of bank of america's numbers. we're waiting more after the bell. ss where do you start with these markets? it really has been a wild, wild, couple of weeks here on wall street. ashley: that is an understatement there, nicole. let's bring in jerry seib. jerry, what are you hearing? is this deal going to fly?

or is there something that could derail it? i guess anything could always be derailed but are you confident this gets done? >> never say never, never say always in washington but i think this is done, i think this is cooked. going into today i think there were two questions. one would senator ted cruz try to slow it down at least in the senate. we now know the answer to that question is no. the question is would house seeker john boehner take what the senate would pass, which seems to be fully cooked and take it to the floor of house there to let it pass is whether all republicans gree or not. the answer to that question appears to be yes. if those two things done i think it gets done and could even get done tonight. tracy: gerri, here's the thing, i asked, do markets know that there will be a deal last minute. this is deja vu all over again. i will start with both of you. i start with gerri willis. the market knows this was coming. it will come again when they meet december 13th. they keep kicking the can down the road. all that means is more tape hing.

i think ittshould be fabulous news for the traders. >> maybe it should be fabulous news for the traders but let's consider what happens on main street which really matters in my view. you've seen your 401(k) move all over the place. incredible volatility up or down. i like that. i don't like one day waking up to see 30,000 out of my 401(k), do you? people are tired of this. the bond market is roiled. we don't know what is going on. fears in money market funds. worries that something could happen there. as you know, social security payments at risk. you've got to worry about that. north carolina today saying we'll not pay welfare because we don't know if we're getting federal mon any of. so big changes for consumers. i think maybe, you know, wall street can shrug it off and say it doesn't matter and all water over the bridge but if you're on main street you're very concerned. ashley: phil flynn, let's bring you in at the cme. seems like the markets are reacting to, yeah, we're finally

geting a deal despite all the rhetoric. seems like this 11th hour deal will go throogh. what are you hearing at cme, phil? >> they're saying oh, boy, we have a deal. if you like this deal we an trade it for another deal. trade it for, here,. with traders from both sides of the aisle, no matter where you stand on it. they want our politicians to act like grownups. we don't want these manufactured crises. it is on both sides of the aisle. the markets are tired. the volume is drying up. people don't want to trade because they have this uncertainty. and it is killing business. this is just a small reflection of it. what we're seeing here in the trading pits i think is microcosm what is going on in the rest of the business world. we've seen companies say, hey, listen this, uncertainty is killing us right now. we don't know what to do. we don't know how things are going to go. washington needs to grow up. we need to see both sides, we need to see leadership in washington and go out to the

bar, sit down, hammer these things out behind closed doors and quit the name-calling. that is another thing i think that hurts these deals. tracy: amen. that i feel i have these conversations with my kids daily. jerry seib, i'm oing back to you with all this. how do we fix this? i joked it is deja vu all over again but it will be come december when they do this again. do we institute term liiits and get the guys the heck out of there eventually? how do you fix the ball? >> i don't think term limits proven to be good in states that have them. there is one hope here that this deal may produce an actual return to regular rder as it is called in washington. what will happen now is that democrats and republicans, regular members of congress are going to get together in a room and do what they need to do in the first place which is work out a budget deal. maybe they will fail. that is better than leadership do it because that failed or some special outside group put it together because that hasn't

worked either. maybe is the prelude people in washington will do the jobs which they have been assigned. that would be a good thing. second thing on the debt ceiling, the debt ceiling is extended until february but also being extended without any provisions that stop the treasury from using extraordinary measures to stretch out the ability to pay bills. that actually extends the debt ceiling into next summer, really, effectively. we put off the debt ceiling, potential for another debt ceiling crisis further than people may realize, if this deal gets through as written right now. tracy: that's a good point. ashley: gerri willis you like to talk about main street. what does it mean to the average person ut there watching all this? i know they're disgusted. they can do something about it when they go vote next time. >> that is the big question, how do people respond to republican as going through this? i think they will get the blame. i think they catch all the blame for this. what is more it is double jeopardy. they could have pointed out what is going on with obamacare.

allowed people see problems wit. they fought that fight that they couldn't win. ashley: what was achieved. >> not a turn thing i should say. tracy: you wrote this great column, rand paul, chris christie, came out three big heroes in this. >> there were republicans played it smarter. those three guys stuck out to me. rand paul said i don't like obamacare anybody better than ted cruz but i recognize we don't have votes to stop right now. let's not try this and ruin our chances to get a good budget deal and do something on obamacare we can't achieve. chris christie says in new jersey, look at fools in washington. i'm an executive to know how to get things done. that is pretty good message. paul ryan stayed in the background until it turned to one area where republicans can make progress and reducing or holding down federal spending. now he moved in. there are some republicans that did well here. tracy: you guys all did well today. nicole, phil, jerry seib and gerri willis.

dow is up 175 points and it is led bit financials on the dow jones industrial average. right now jpmorgan at 53.90, that's a gain of 3%. they agreed to pay $100 million, that is obviously settling way back when with the "london whale" trading debacle. commodities futures trading commission. that now at this point, pushes it up to 1 billion because it was in addition to another nine hundred million they paid out. don't forget the loss they incurred of over $6 billion. that's what we're looking for jpmorgan chase. bank of america, former dow component came out with their numbers doing well. we'll watch american express after the bell, somewhat financially related. blackrock, for example, another big mover today, jumping after their quarterly numbers. a lot going on wwll street and jpmorgan looking great. back to you. >> certainly is. as many others today. nicole, thanks so much. tracy: gridlock in washington takeing a toll on the housing market. we have an analyst ahead whether

ashley: homebuilder confidence taking a hit in october. the latest survey from the national association of home builds said confidence fell to a four-month low. builders say the gridlock in washington certainly hasn't helped but our next guest says things for the long-term housing outlook look positive. we have the mkm partners executive director and senior home building analyst. meagan, thanks for joining us. how much of an impact is what is going on in d.c. had on the home industry as a whole? >> yeah. i mean i think where we started to see the real impact was earlier this year when mortgage rates started to spike, right? we already saw a slowdown in the housing market even before issues in washington started to surface. i suspect that especially for builders that may have a mid-atlantic focus, you saw a

further slow down in october. we can assume at leave, the dc stuff was temporary. i thhnk market is looking past that but really is worried about interest rates. where are they going to go and what does that mean for housing in 2014. ashley: they definitely had an impact. if they continue to rise, what is the the worst-case scenario? there was a theory that people were waiting until they waited too soon. they missed the bottom. so they were jumping in so, because let's face it, these rates are still very historically low but there must come a point where it is a little bit of demand destruction? >> i think it is. i think we've seen some of the low end leave the market a little bit at least to re-evaluate. what can i afford that mortgage rates are higher. what does that mean for the monthly payment comparing it to my rent? we need to see long term look at mortgage rates in context. where mortgage rates in relation to income. where are mortgage rates related to pricing. if we get a rise in mortgage rates without a rise in gross

income that is problem for the market. if we get incomes rising the market should handle high rates. ashley: we've seen demand, no doubt about it, but the inventory, amount of homes available hasn't always been there to meet demand. as a result we've seen prices go up. is that a trend you expect to continue? >> i expect prices to continue to go up but not as big as this year. you saw a surge in home prices, if you've seen the data, 10% year-over-year. 12%, year-over-year. i expect that to normalize a little bit. some is getting distressed property off the market. we do a survey. realtors started to see inventory tick up in the latest quarter. this is a good sign in terms stabilization of pricing. i would expect something more in the normal range which is three to 5% growth in prices. ashley: when we look at housing, or housing market as a whole, i've been told the higher end doesn't match up, because the high-end luxury homes, they have not, folks have not been affected by what is going on. so that market has been okay.

in the middle tier it has been particularly difficult. is that true? >> well the middle tier is what has been the bulge of the market. the first time buyer hasn't been in the market very much because it is so hard to get credit in the early stages of this recovery. ashley: has that changed? >> not a lot. we're starting to see very early signs of mortgage credit loosening in the market. that is more after theme as we go through the end of the year. i think banks started to loosen when refi volumes went down. they had to make up some volume. ashley: they let a lot of people go too. >> they did. ashley: you think they're loosening up standards a little >> yeah, i do. >> is that a good thing? we don't want to be where we were before? >> i don't think the pendulum is all the way back. i think we're still okay. we're seeing what you call the credit overlay come off on fannie and freddie loans. they're not being quite as strict over top of fannie and freddie as they were before. i think that is okay. pendulum swung too far but definitely something to watch.
