11:01 am
let's go to nicole petallides before we talk about anything else. check on the markets. good morning nicole. >> we pared the losses. we're down 41 points on the dow jones industrials. 15,059. just below the 15,600 mark. we had a nice run though, haven't we? s&p 500 down 1:00 quarter of 1%. it shows you we had momentum remains to the upside. traders continue to believe with the easy fed policy the path of least resistance is to the upside. of 3-d systems, largest printer company, looking good. new all-time high. potential takeover rumors maybe by ibm according to our own charles payne. spending on research and expanding retail presence. up over 100% and what a great performer and a new high today. back to you. connell: thank you, nicole. more on obamacare.
11:02 am
new developments in moment. we'll focus on gubernatorial races one in new jersey and one i said a moment ago, in virginia, where the civil war in the republican party is playing out for all to see. joining us from washington, d.c., ron christie, former special assistant to former president george w. bush. always good to have ron on. chris christie, no relation, new jersey or is it ken cuccinelli in the state of virginia? those are two different republicans, both in the news today. cuccinelli, close race with terry mcauliffe. christie is expected to run away with it in new jersey. who is the future of the party? >> i think future of the party is more like ken cuccinelli. connell: really? >> even though i was born in new jersey there is no relation. connell: exactly. >> what you have here, ken cuccinelli current attorney general in virginia, someone who is very conservative. someone demonized a lot by those in the press who don't obviously like his candidacy and those on
11:03 am
democratic side of the aisle. when you look at chris christie however, he is a very popular governor in a deep blue state. i don't think his views on social issues are in line with where a lot of the republican party is right now. connell: your namesake would disagree with that. i'm sure he would point out chris christie, his way of winning in that blue state, i think registration advantage for democrats in new jersey, want to say about 400,000. it is a big advantage for democrats. >> that's right. connell: he will win today if the polls are right, i don't know, up 20 points in some polls, depending which poll you look at. if he wins easily, say someone like him, suzanna martinez from new mexico campaigning with him yesterday, that is type of ticket you want as republican to win nationally. why would a tea party guy like cuccinelli have a better chance to win in 2016, not just the primary, the general? >> ken cuccinelli within hours after obamacare had been held constitutional bit supreme court, ken cuccinelli was first attorney general in the united
11:04 am
states who came forth said we need to challenge this. this is monstrosity. this will be a big tax-and-spend boondoggle for the american people. sure enough, connell, we found out it was much worse than we ever anticipated. i think governoo christie, don't take away anything he has done in new jersey. he is a remarkable governor in a blue state. leadership during superstorm sandy is something to be commended but i think when you look at a national ticket and look at primary process, look at conservative party right now i don't think governor christie, he might prove us all wrong i don't think he is necessarily going to be the guy that will make it through a primary process. connell: look at electoral college math, people say i can't believe you're talking about, this governor's race and fast forwarding to 2016, what is your argument for somebody like a cuccinelli if he wins the primary? it will not be him necessarily running for president but somebody from that background wins the primary, how does he win? have you seen the math that shows you he can win nationally.
11:05 am
>> politics is always about addition rather than subtract shun. what governor christie has done reached out to traditional independents and democrats and communities of color. you look folks like a jeb bush, like a marco rubio, like some others, my former boss of governor john kasich, governor of ohio. there are republicans who have bonafide conservative credentials and galvanize the vote in communities of color and non-traditional republicans. connell: interesting especially in virginia, we talk about health care on down will be at issue there. ron christie, not exactly an endorsement of chris christie. we appreciate seeing you. >> always a pleasure, sir. dagen: president obama playing defense yet again trying to fend off criticism of the botched rollout of his signature health care law but with top health officials now pushing people to fill out insurance applications on paper, what is the administration's next move. connell: what comes next? peter barnes at the white house
11:06 am
to tell us that. peter? >> well, guys the administration it is still continuing to try to fix all of this, to fix the health care.gov website and the application process but the president was out last night trying to fix his image on all of this he spoke to a group that helps him, the organization for action, and he is now seems to be changing some of the story here. he said, quote, if you have or have had one of these plans before the affordable care act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you could keep it if it wasn't changed since the law's passing. that is different from what the president said. he said you could keep it, period. take a listen. >> we road l rode wrote into the affordable care act you're grandfathered in on that plan but if the insurance company changes it what we're saying they have to change it to a higher standard. >> only if the white house likes your plan can you keep it. if you like your plan in all
11:07 am
likelihood you could very well lose it which is what is happening to millions of americans. >> senator thune saying this morning on fox news that he would just like straightforward, honest answers from the administration about all of this. and the administration will get more questions today. we have more notes from private meetings of contractors, and administration officials about the rollout of all of this, these coming once again from the house oversight committee. released last night. they say, according to one note taker, quote, the media attention will follow individuals to plan selection and their ultimate choices and in some cases there will be fewer options than would be desired to promote consumer choice in an ideal shopping against. additionally, in some cases there will be relatively high-cost plans. so what they were saying in private is now coming, is what we're hearing publicly as they try to move forward with this rollout.
11:08 am
dagen and connell. connell: peter barnes at the white house. more to come even throughout the day on this story. peter, thanks. here is car sale story for you. ron burgundy does it again. san diego's classiest anchorman helped sales of dodge durango. up 59% for october. these are ad age numbers. 70 ads were cut. there he is anchorman, will ferrell. they launched a month ago. dagen: the new movie is out in december, the sequel to "anchorman." there you go. better be funny. 1995 was last time all 10 s&p 500 sectors end the year with double-digit gains. it is about to happen again. more what it means for the market, let's bring in wells fargo chief portfolio strategist brian jacobsen. long-term interest rates going up we got a taste in may. this can't continue, can it? >> well you know it can actually
11:09 am
at least for the next year. eventually all good things must come to an end. we'll probably see a downturn in the market but i don't think we'll see quite yet. look at years which we've had double-digit gains on the s&p 500 the subsequent year is also pretty good. you give a momentum and carry-through on some of these runs. dagen: brian, if you look at the 10 sectors though, some have to be overpriced compared to some at least reasonably valued. what do you like and dislike? >> well that is a very good observation, that all stocks are not the same. when it comes to specific sectors. i'm a big fan of energy, industrials and information technology. those are my three favorite basically on valuation basis. the other sectors i think might be geting a little pricey but they're not outside of the realm what is reasonable. tough remember that the market very rarely trades at what we could consider fair value. it can go to the extremes and stay at the extremes for extended periods of time. dagen: i told people that. people will come up say, hey, i short the market.
11:10 am
i'm like, you know what? it sounds trite but if you're fighting the federal reserve if you're betting against what the federal reserve is doing, historically that has not been a winning battle. one more thing though in terms of the overall stock market how high, how high do interest rates go that the market can't handle that? like, how high is too high in terms of long-term rates? >> sure. in terms of long-term rates i think it is why are the rates going higher? because we're having a lost inflation? but basically they're sort of neutral level for interest rates. i pegged that at around 4 to 5% on the 10-year treasury. so when rates are below that, rising rates can actually be good although when you're above 4 to 5%, then falling rates can be good. so in this type of environment, rising rates could be a positive thing provided we don't see inflation getting out of check. with inflation running 1 1/2% per annum it is really not all that bad. dagen: brian, great to see you. thank you for the insight.
11:11 am
brian jacobsen. take care, from wells fargo. connell: budweiser spending big bucks on the next super bowl. we'll tell you about the party boat that they're working for. dagen: ship boat? connell: you will see. >> it one more that colin and i won't be traveling on. connell: yeah. dagen: immigration reform on tap at the white house this hour. the president meeting with some of the biggest names in corporate america. the administration says $1.4 trillion can be won for the economy if these talks go somewhere. connell: talk about anything but health care. we'll talk about immigration coming up. if lockheed gets its way these planes could be in the past when it comes to america's military might in the skies. new planes to definitely be looking at. all coming up on "markets now." ♪

11:45 am
over the weekend, controversial program, two sides to this. many people say it needs to end now. the vice president of research at singularity university known as academic research entrepreneur, good to see you once again. this gets to the point is this diversity lottery about who we allowed in when we are debating immigration reform. how important is diversity versus do we want to pick and choose high skilled immigrants? take it from there. >> having the diversity it broadens a number of people, when the economy is bad and been high school graduates with no specific skills coming into almost certain unemployment. we have not qualified them based on the needs of the country or their qualifications, just bringing random people in from countries in africa, some in the middle east, other small
11:46 am
countries just because we don't have immigrants, there has been -- between democrats and republicans the republicans say you can have more high skilled readers if you sacrifice the diversity, democrats have gone -- i don't agree with them. we need to create more jobs. tens of thousands of new product over a generating hundreds of thousands of jobs, five years from now we can discuss diversity and we can afford to bring people to look after them. not a matter of just bringing people in but the employment with the benefits, all the basics of living a good life over here. we don't want to pick on one poor country and another country. connell: the key economic data in this the taking place now, the other side, you are siding with the republican argument, the other side is going to say
11:47 am

12:05 pm
while this hasn't happened since right before the last crash, the human, the human psychology, the human instinct is to assume that's going to happen next. the reality is it has absolutely zero correlation. you would need to have 64 inferences of that to draw anything meaningful. that's not happened 64 times, and the reality is all the noble and predictable information is already factored into the price today. so the goal here is to say long term in equities and not try to forecast -- cheryl: but not everybody has a long term -- they don't have that. we have viewers that are in their 50s, their 60s, they're running out of time. and when they hear long-term investment, they get frustrated with that. they say, no, i've got to save something now. >> that's the problem, people live longer than they ever have, so you could be looking at 20 or 30 more years of needing your money in retirement. cheryl: that makes it worse. >> the alternative, if you throw your money in fixed income right now, you get zero interest rate,
12:06 pm
so you're looking at 20 or 30 years of basically making no money. the goal is when the market crashed the last time, investors -- cheryl: are you talking about the bubble? >> i'm talking about the 2008 and 2009. cheryl: okay. >> the s&p's up over 200% since then, small value stocks up 240% since then. to the extent they can't take the short-term volatility, they have to offset that with short-term fixed income. but almost everyone's going to need some equities in their portfolio to offset the inflation. cheryl: what we've seen is a lot of people aren't buying bonds right now. that's the contrarians coming out and saying, wait a minute, this market is overheated. what do you say to that? >> well, they are buying bonds, and long-term bonds have a high correlation with stocks. you can see them both crash at the same time. the only way to offset that is with short-term fixed income. don't try to offset with gold. gold's down 30% while equities
12:07 pm
are up over 50%. cheryl: gold play is over. you also say where the country is right now is ip adequate. part of this, the blame certainly, is on the fed. but you also say you've got no real gdp, you've got food stamp programs participants going through the roof, 48 million americans or something like that, and at the same time you've got, i forget how many people out of the labor force -- >> yeah, over 90 million have exited the labor force. cheryl: right. so you're saying -- the stock market is going to be, you know, divergent with reality. >> well, here's the reality, you can't predict economic forecasts and then predict the market. for example, if you had perfect clarity over the last 90 years of when you had recessions and when you had a recession in gdp, equities are 11% versus the market in general at 8%, so it's actually better to be in the markets statistically when you have low growth or no growth. it's very counterintuitive, and that's why most people hurt
12:08 pm
themselves, get in when it's high and panic when it's low. cheryl: and they're sitting in cash, that's all that's happening. >> and you need to be international. you can't just invest in the u.s. you have to have europe, asia and emerging markets which is up 13% a year over the last decade. cheryl: making money wherever we can. [laughter] mark, good to have you, thank you for being here. >> thank you very much. dennis: we have our own logo, something's really big, and twitter is set for that ipo on thursday. while investors are anxiously waiting, questions arise as to how effective it is as a platform for advertising. one doubter is the ceo of video-sharing sight that bought ads on twitter and found skimpy impact. ceo greg costello joins me now. you spent $40,000 on twitter ads, what resslt did you expect for that versus what actually happened. >> >> well, we had hoped to get a lot of downloads. we have an app called give it,
12:09 pm
as you said, and we tried a number of different advertising mechanisms, and we're big fans of twitter. we actually incorporated it right into our app, so we expected to get many downloads for our 40,000, at least 20 or 30,000 downloads. ten deb okay. >> what we actually got -- we actually got more like, um, 600. item deb 600? >> yeah. the re because twitter doesn't have a direct mechanism to make downloads happen. what you're paying for is, essentially, to get followers. so for spending $40,000 we got 6,000 followers. of the 6,000 followers, about 10% converted to doing downloads, that's about 600 downloads. dennis: is it better for you? >> absolutely. facebook, we tried a bunch of different ones, google and facebook, and facebook we were able to get, spend about $1.50 per download to contrast that with twitter, it ended up being
12:10 pm
about $75 per download, so there's a big gap. dennis: why was it better for facebook? did they have an instant button letting you do the download or did it also have a link and they had to convert to a download? >> there were a couple of things, and one thing i should say is twitter is rectifying this, i think, last week. but facebook allows you to display an image in your ad, and twitter did not. at least did not auto expand. so, basically, you were having to leave for just text with your ad for twitter. with facebook with you had an image as well as the kind of targeting you can do with facebook is really precise. they talk a lot about the social graph and the ability to target to people we think would be most interested in our product. so there was a direct connection between, basically, looking at the image. if it was interesting to the user, clicking one button and downloading the app. so that kind of seamlessness between the experience of facebook wasn't available on twitter. dennis: okay. do you think the actual setting
12:11 pm
and the fact that twitter is this constant blitzkrieg, this constant fire hose of bits whereas facebook you're kind of hanging out, does the environment have anything to do with it? >> i think it certainly does. i think for facebook, for example, you see images in a lot of the posts, that's a very normal thing to see. and with twitter, as you said, you have this blitz of text, and it's very hard to create a brand around text. dennis: okay. and now let's talk about the ability of a tech company like twitter to serve the ad community. you know, yahoo! had a huge 5:yens and the potential to convert that audience into great ad revenue was wonderful, but then it did a terrible job of serving the advertiser. how does twitter do at serving the advertiser versus facebook? >> facebook has an entire team dedicated to making you successful. and i think with twitter they're missing that today. this is easily rectified, but today you have the ad sales team, and you have the development team. there really needs to be a team
12:12 pm
in the middle that really focuses on making you successful. dennis: okay. >> and i think twitter as it grows will be able to, will add that to their organization. dennis: okay. thank you for being with us, greg costello. a parting shot, even despite your concerns, would you buy the stock anyway on the ipo? >> not yet, but i'm watching to see if today make these improvements. dennis: all right. thanks a lot for being with us. >> thank you. cheryl: well, it is a big night for politics that may have big ramifications for the 2016 elections and the republican party. we're going to break down all of it for you coming up later on the show. dennis: and it's what's bugging me, blackberry's plummet from grace. what or who is behind this? tweet me your thoughts. meanwhile, as we head to break, let's look at energy. ♪ ♪ ♪

government-appointed panel is now reviewing the min mumming wage -- minimum wage there and may increase it 80%. now, the back story is back in 2010 all of these retailers actually spoke to the prime minister there and recommended that the minimum wage at that time back in 2010 be raised because of worker unrest. then, and it was raised at that time. i think it was about 50% or 60%. six months later now after they doubled it, as i was right, they actually doubled the minimum monthly wage, you have retailers again, the gap and h&m, sending another letter all of this because there are worker grievances that are, to a certain extent, impacting the production for some of these companies. so it's a story, and we'll continue to follow it. back to you. cheryl: emerging markets, nicole, thank you. dennis: what's bugging me is the blackberry debacle. rarely do we see such a blatant
12:18 pm
display of screw the shareholders, crony capitalism, unmitigated mismanagement and lying about it all in one place. plenty of blame here. you've got the ceo, blackberry's stock is down 60% since he took over in early 2012. he bet the company on the z10, an iphone wannabe, that discarded blackberry's defining feature, the keyboard. and aslerly was burning, he contracted to buy a third company jet and negotiated a fatter severance package for himself in case of a takeover. now, months later blackberry got a takeover offer from fairfax financial whose ceo, prim watsa, was on the blackberry board when it approved that fatter takeover package which isn't so prim and proper at all. and then fairfax scuttles its takeover offer yesterday, sending blackberry shares tumbling down another 16%. so now the ceo is fired,
12:19 pm
belatedly, and could leave with $20 million, and prim watsa becomes lead director, gains de facto control of blackberry, puts up only $250 million as part of a billion dollar loan. the loan can be converted to a 16% stake in the company, and the rest of the blackberry shareholders, they are screwed. so tweet me @denniskneale. it's a simple question, what caused blackberry's fall? that's what's bugging me. cheryl? cheryl: i keep wondering what to do with this. all right, from washington state to cincinnati and beyond, sweeping referendums on ballots across the country today that could have major effects on you in the near future. fox news political analyst juan williams, washington examiner senior columnist tim carney are going to be here to break it down. as we go to break, take a look at the world's currencies, you've got that negative read on the european economy in this morning.

12:26 pm
hasn't come up yet. surface the dow theory's concerned, a bull market has three phases, accumulation, then what they call the big move and then excess. and i guess the argument is we've got to be somewhere between the big move and the excesses, if you will. recently, we had news that there was a big inflow of money into mutual funds, but for the most part this has been the most hated, quietest rally in the history of mankind, and the sort of euphoria that normally would accompany a crash, in my mind, still isn't there. cheryl: but, charles, i'm sorry, we were looking at the s&p 500 at the top of the show, and if you look at the s&p, all ten sectors are up double digits this year. that hasn't happened in 20 years. people get scared. >> they do, but i can tell you something, after 2001 i saw amazing earnings that were never built into the stock market. it took seven years for the dow to get back to the high, nasdaq we're still not back to the high. because something is up double digits doesn't mean it's overvalued, you know?

12:33 pm
williams and washington examiner senior political columnist tim carney. gentlemen, thank you for being here. juan, i want to start with you first. the issue in new jersey, you know, it was a democratic super pac that pushed to overturn state limits on spending from outside groups. christie's ahead by 20, by some polls 30 points. why spend that money? what's going on in new jersey? >> the state legislature, cheryl, look, the democrats and in particular here the unions are concerned that with a big victory -- and it looks like by all indications it's going to be a tidal wave for chris christie -- that they might lose power, that if he has coat tails and that, by the way, is the operative issue in virginia, if he has coat tails for republicans, it could mean victory in the legislature, drive up the republican presence, give christie more leverage as he tries to change the agenda. cheryl: tim, it's no secret he's had a lot of problems with the teachers' unions, at the same time we all know that he's got
12:34 pm
his sights on 2016. does this strategy hurt him, tim? >> no, i don't think he'll be hurt by getting attacked by teachers' unions. it certainly will help him in the republican primary gape some credibility -- gain some credibility with the conservative base, and i think even being in a general election being the enemy of public sector unions probably wouldn't hurt him either. i see him as being strengthened for the reason he can say, look, my enemies for the teachers unions, that helps him win over the conservative base. cheryl: also something else, juan, if you look on the democratic side and this is going into the issue of virginia versus new jersey, this is two different races. what we're seeing in virginia is a tea party candidate who, frankly, is in trouble. and then you've got somebody like mcauliffe who, you know, at this point, i mean, it's his to lose. having said that, juan, the democratic governors' association spent five grand in new jersey, guess how much they spent in virginia?

they spent eight million on this election. is this strategy going to pay off for the dems? is. >> yeah, because it's a winnable race. they should win it at this point given the troubles that the incumbent republican, bob mcdonnell, has had. some of that has transferred to cucinelli. so what you see here is tremendous spending. let me tell you, cheryl, just think for a second 10 to 1 is what mcauliffe has spent on tv versus cucinelli in the last few weeks. that gives you an idea of how much money and the big bet democrats are placing on mcauliffe today. cheryl: all right. at the same time, when you look at -- and i always like to see what the advertising spending from the states -- if you look at how it's spent in virginia, it's staggering. in support of cucinelli, negative ads have been running about $10 million. that's all spending for him, but for mcauliffe, $15 million has been spent. >> right. cheryl: now, we go through and we move into next year, is this going to haunt voters in virginia?
12:36 pm
>> i don't think so. cheryl: go ahead, tim. >> i think there could be, as juan suggested earlier, real down tick implications of cucinelli being so dwarfed, of mcauliffe so successfully painting him with a wad brush. first of all, that swings the state senate over to democratic hands because the lieutenant governor breaks the tie vote, and that allows mcauliffe to help build up the democratic network for congressional, senate and presidential races in the next two election cycles. mcauliffe is really bringing in the business community in northern virginia to the democratic side while cucinelli is saying he's run against crony capitalism so much, he's turned off a lot of the contractors in northern virginia. cheryl: that is what's so interesting when you compare virginia and new jersey, juan, this is a referendum for the gop overall. this is going to show the country where the republican party goes in the next two years which the party be, frankly, has been stunted by mitt romney's loss to obama.
12:37 pm
>> yeah. well, you know, i think chris christie is a bright, shining star in the republican ranks. but remember, i think that. i don't know what tim thinks. i'd be interested to hear, cheryl. i think a lot of tea party people just don't like chris christie. he's going to be able to say, but look, i am able to win, and i'm able to, you know, build bridges to people who otherwise might not even vote republican. is that attractive to the tea party base? >> ultimately, republicans always nominate the guy who they think is most electable. all this talk about control by the tea party, that might work in senate and house races, but every single election of my life and going back to goldwater with, basically, since then every election republicans nominate the establishment guy who is deemed as the most electable. and if christie can establish himself as that, he could end up being the nominee very easily. cheryl: well, it's going to be playing out very shortly, and tonight's going to be a big night.

dennis: in this one of the largest health care fraud settlements in u.s. history, j&j, johnson & johnson, and its subsidiaries will pay over $2 billion to settle claims that they promoted drugs for uses not approved by the fda as well as sending kickbacks to physicians. and joining us now is one of the lead lawyers in that case, david stone, trial manager and managing partner at stone and
12:44 pm
magnini. thanks for being with us. you know, in this whole area of off-label drug usage, there's a gap between what the fda approves and what doctors can do. they can prescribe any drug for anything. how e egregious was the behavior here regarding these drugs for schizophrenia they ended up using for elderly dementia patients? >> it's extremely egregious, and the reason for that is the fda has reasons why it's very strict about uses for a drug. and it requires trials, it requires a number of trials, in this case those trials were not held. instead, johnson went out, paid physicians, and there's, you know, substantial evidence of this, they went out and paid physicians to prescribe these drugs for off-label uses to the most vulnerable patients out there, the elderly, dementia, children. deb right. do we think the doctors were knowingly prescribing drugs they knew wouldn't work or do we think that the doctors felt
12:45 pm
like, you know what? i actually think this schizophrenia drug could help my elderly dementia patient in. >> i think some doctors honestly believed they were helping their patients, and many doctors did it because they were incentivized to do it. dennis: because of the profit motive. >> correct. dennis: this $2.2 billion comes in -- >> correct. dennis: what portion will go to the actual alleged victims of these off-label prescriptions versus what portion goes to the lawyers like you who sued j&j? >> the vast majority of it will go to the government. what the government does with it is a mystery -- dennis: wait a minute, why is it going to the government instead of the victims? >> because in this case, this is a case based on fraud on medicare and fraud on state governments which paid for this drug. dennis: wait a minute. so our entire problem the government has with this case is that were not approved, their problem is that this was a ripoff to the medicaid and medicare system, that we paid
12:46 pm
for drugs with government money that we shouldn't have paid for because they're not worried about the victims? i thought this was supposed to be this terrible thing that hurt victims. >> well, i don't think that's fair. i think the government is concerned about the victims. the government has imposed very stringent corporate integrity agreements on johnson which require them to report monthly, essentially, to the government that they've put in all kinds of compliance requirements, all kinds of transparency requirements to protect patients and to insure or that doctors are given the true state of what the research is and not some biased version of the research. dennis: right. you know, the problem here, david, is if i have a mom, let's say -- sorry about this, mom -- who has dementia, mom doesn't, and she's in such horrible shape you get so desperate. you're dying for a drug that could help her, and you know what? you don't care if this drug passed the right fda process or not, what you care is, hey, it's helping my mom.
12:47 pm
how do you do something to fix that gap between what the fda approves and what doctors end up thinking works? >> i agree with you, there's a gap, okay? the fda has a regulation which prevents the drug companies from marketing for off-label use, but it doesn't prevent the doctor from in his own, you know, in his own decision to prescribe a drug for an off-label use. and that's a big disconnect. dennis: it is. >> but i think the problem is there's such an incentive for these pharmaceutical companies to mislead doctors about research and about the uses of the drug because they expand their market shares -- dennis: right. without having to spend the money testing it and proving it. >> a huge amount of money for this, billions of dollars. so it's a huge incentive. and the problem is doctors try, they try to read all the research, they try to educate themselves about it, but when they're being bombarded by this one company that's hiring doctors to write, you know, articles about the use of the drug, it's hard. dennis: with the profit
12:48 pm
incentive to boot, yeah. okay. >> so the point is to disincentivize that disconnect and allow daughters to make informed -- doctors to make informed choices. dennis: 30%? >> typically 15%, and i would point out that in most cases the vast majority of the recoveries by the government have involved whistleblowers. dennis: yeah. >> and it's important that whistleblowers be recognized for the risks that they take. dennis: we'll bring him back on, i think whistleblowers ought to do it for the good of the country and not for millions upon millions of dollars in stool pigeon bribes. thanks for being with us, david stone. cheryl: well, oil is falling below $94 a barrel for the first time since june. to the trading pits of the cme and phil flynn. still falling, huh? >> yes. we are rocking right now. in fact, we may take out $93. we just made new lows while we were waiting here, 93.22, the new low. and a lot has to do with the incredible amount of supply that we have right now.
12:49 pm
oklahoma, add to that, of course, the nonmanufacturing data which has taken away or, you know, increasing the odds of tapering. the oil bulls don't have a lot to hang their hat on right now. maybe a few weeks from now they will. we just heard a report from transcanada, this pipeline they're building to get oil out of oklahoma down to port arthur, texas, could be completed in the next couple weeks. that could take some of the supply that's been building up in oklahoma, get it down to the refiners. but that's not going to help the market today. the other big market today is cocoa. cocoa is rocking today, absolutely exploding today. could be because we had an explosion at a chocolate factory here in chicago. they're a major, one of the biggest in north america when it comes to cocoa use and, of course, that fire gave us a boost. but we also had some strong concerns about supplies in ghana and in indonesia. big down on the supply, big up
