11:03 am
a big push to expand medicare as a way of getting around the exchange snafu. connell: no way they're getting toward the 7 million this spring. >> they're going to have to do something. the way they're going to do it is medicare. those that have not signed up for expanding medicare are being inhumane by not doing it, so they will try to turn a political advantage for disaster. dagen: you mean medicaid. medicaid expansion. a lot of this is people buying insurance, steve. to what extent do you believe the irs will go out there and police people who are not buying it? if they are not going to buy it for whatever reason, screw ups in the health care site, you've got cops at the federal level who will have to hunt these people down. speak out given the pressure from insurance companies, give us subsidies now, if it is a short you have to promise to make good for it, let's go

cheryl: stocks every 15 minutes on the floor of the stock exchange, u.s. airways, cleared for takeoff. we got the doj statement. stocks performing. nicole: we will get right to those stocks looking at u.s. airways' which is to the downside after it was halted earlier right before the 11:00 a.m. hour, resumed at 11:51 and the stock actually topped and got a drop here you see it selling off now. when you put u.s. airways and american airlines together they get a largest carrier and a hair was a lot of concern about other airlines including virgin and southwest, concerns about takeoff and a landing not only at reagan national in d.c. right here at home, la guardia, the u.s. department officials plan a media briefing so we will wait on that as well. this will help the low-cost

facebook, small caps? >> in an overall sense it is possible when you look at the fund inflows there are stocks that have good valuation but if you are going into the market right now a lot valuation's whether the ten year average, the p ratio is the high side. can it go further? there is so much liquidity with the federal reserve. a tail wind for stocks, it is likely we will see a pullback but two years since a 10% correction and that will continue longer as long as we got the fed stimulus. cheryl: the fed can't print money forever. if you look it central banks around world they are pulling back. janet yellen coming in, we believe going to continue the same paula c. ben bernanke had and people like you, the contrarian with the market saying back off, time to pull stimulus away. >> there are two separate
12:06 pm
issues. we talk about the stimulus that is fair. there is the capering issue which will be discontinued at some point with some form of capering but lower interest rates will be prevalent through 2014 historically with janet yellen's record. cheryl: they got to get back in the markets and you look at cisco you can't go against the grain of technology, says the last year up 39%, you to pay a dividend, it is a stron company, they make something whereas twitter is debatable what they make. you like cisco. >> you make an excellent point. there has been talk about the momentum stock this year but i like the core holdings of cisco, reliable company, backbone of the internet pays the dividend and valuation is more reasonable than the market in general and more reasonable and many others.

cheryl: is another sector strongly sharing. you like these. thank you very much. dennis: just over a week, a new job freshly minted, tom wheeler already raising eyebrows. and robert mcdowell quit the agency, thanks for being with us, appreciate your time. but star with the news that justices found a way to approve the american u.s. airways airline merger, originally the fed is saying we will not let too many merger. what will this mean for mergers in telecom. and putting the, by john at&t/t mobile. >> four for wireless. and four after the obama administration in town. and looking to merge, we file a
12:08 pm
lawsuit if dod gets a fair way or agencies and there is room to negotiate. and they have different circumstances. the government is looking for ways to strike a deal. looking for ways to strike deals with communication companies in a variety of contexts. dennis: previous administrations did thumbs-up or thumbs down. and 5 for 10 years. and two areas you got to go after and one is net neutrality and cable companies and to the fcc interfere with how they run their business or price it? a couple federal courts said they are overstepping and in other areas these big spectrum auctions so on the first count of neutrality, hired an adviser
12:09 pm
who is all pro net neutrality and looks like a bad sign for cable. what do you think? >> this is in and of a federal appeals court in washington d.c.. you are absolutely right the s&p had strides several maneuvers before and the appeals court shut them down. the appeals court shoots them down, then the question becomes does the fcc try to classify broadband networks like cable networks or wireless broadband networks as monopoly phone services and that would trigger legal trigger that would cause this avalanche of regulation. that would be bad for any network operator, cable, wireless or phone companies. and in months leading up to this appointment i know her very well, she softened hair stand on title ii, the monopoly phone regulation type format so we will see what that means. tom wanted to hire people who know a lot about this. it come as a surprise that
12:10 pm
obama's second term fcc is going to be more regulatory than romney would have been. dennis: the big threat to the entire communication industry is if the fcc threatened to do this, to apply century-old telephone regulations aimed at a government sanctioned monopoly applied to the internet. and let's move on to the second item in spectrum airways coming up, the other is the spectrum that our government gave to broadcasters decades ago, and buying back this free spectrum from the same broadcasters? >> the government buying it back would hold an incentive option, there was bipartisan legislation out of congress that said give tv broadcasters a financial incentive to voluntarily relinquish all or part of their spectrum in exchange for money and some goes to the treasury
12:11 pm
and some broadcasters and that is supposed to take place next year. probably won't take place until 2015. the most complicated spectrum auction in history. you have a reverse auction how cheaply will broadcasters surrender their spectrum. the 4 option will be wireless companies, where will you put the on the dial, broadband companies, broadcasters. it will be very complicated fraught with risk but needs to be done to help unclog those airways especially in manhattan where you are. dennis: you have been worried about the fcc taking a dim view of wireless and things the wireless business is not competitive enough even though there are more in every market and you worry they will stop at&t and verizon from bidding in the spectrum auctions which mean the prices don't go as high as they should. what will wheeler do on that? >> my gut is he will not have an outright ban on at&t and verizon. there's a parallel proceeding regarding how much spectrum one company can own and the concern
12:12 pm
is at&t and verizon have 80% market share and 100% free cash flow in the wireless industry. i think he will restrict what they can do. i don't think he will give an out bright man that will destroy it and make a complete failure. i think he knows that. dennis: thanks for being with us today. dagen: cheryl: a $6.2 billion industry and is growing. free foods like gluten free, food that our dairy free, expanding to meet demand. that story next. dennis: and the private sector fix obamacare? what is bugging me and we want to hear from you. tweet us. look at energy prices. my mantra? family first.

cheryl: thank you very much, appreciate it. dennis: what is bugging me is obamacare and how to fix it. two pregnant page 1 headlines this morning. and wall street journal health-care site falls far short of target. understatement of the day. in the new york times insurers seek ways to bypass healthcare.gov. we were supposed have half a million people under obamacare but fewer than 50,000 people in five weeks. we now need 50,000 people every single day to sign up by march 31st, to get this airborne. but president obama is stonewalling refusing to specify real numbers downplaying the debacle, underestimating of the problem and willfully misleading the press and public. private insurers are getting nervous, the guys who president obama spent years demonizing are so worried, the new york times
12:19 pm
reports, they are pushing the government to let the mineral people directly and skip the government website. which makes you wonder. why do the fed's not simply out for sign ups to the insurers to begin with instead of trying to reinvent the wheel? badly? tweet me at dennis kneale. can the private sector fix the obamacare mess? cheryl: thanks giving a little more than two weeks away but hasn't always been celebrated on the fourth thursday of the month. we will show you how all began, washington's first thanksgiving proclamation in our studio. we will take a look at the world's currencies and how they are sharing against the u.s. dollar. we will be right back.

it is more than just technology but of course as a tech ceo i always like to think technology is the cure for everything. cheryl: here is the issue, i was looking at the initiative. here are some things it wants to solve. this will be 10 teams, 10 companies, if you will, basically that will come in and compete and give their ideas how to fix philadelphia, which, sounds good. vacant land. that is supposedly a problem. 22 million-dollar program, problem, excuse me in philadelphia. you mentioned repeat criminals, that's an issue and mental health. what do you think these guys are going to come from? what do you think they can produce for the mayor that can fix these issues? >> i think they will come from literally all over the world. i think doors are open right now to entrepreneurs and that the thing that was very smart that mayor nutter did by teaming up with academia and private sector resources, with the wharton social impact initiative and good company groups, what he's done he allowed these three groups, here's the high level
12:34 pm
problems we have but they're not dictating solutions but leaving those solutions to the private sector but where most of these kind of innovative solutions will come from. cheryl: okay. >> ultimately the 10 companies will come down to philadelphia, be accelerated, the best of them, pilot their programs in the city of philadelphia. a tremendous opportunity. cheryl: not to jump ahead of the program, but i'm curious what type of fixes they will come up with. that is my question. we've seen it happen in san francisco. oakland has a very high crime rate as well. new york city, louisville, kentucky, these are cities that have done the pilot program and tried to kind of bring private, public sector partnership into play. what have we learned from those cities then that philadelphia may actually advance as well? >> actually what we learned by opening up the data, by working with public and private organizations together we can reduce costs, we can make government much more effective. what that ends up doing in public safety which is the wharton social impact initiative
12:35 pm
has discovered has the greatest single opportunity to move the needle in any program when you're working between public and private sector, what we've seen across the country is better visibility into processes like jail overcrowding, prison overcrowding. better outcomes for people not just in the community by increasing safety but also people inside the public safety and criminal justice systems, getting better treatment and having better outcomes themselves. cheryl: okay. obviously you're advising on the program. each company gets 10,000 dollars to work with. that is the initial grant. then the winner gets what? >> well the best, the best programs will be selected to actually pilot in philly. i would actually say that working with these three organizations, probably the money is the least important thing they will get out of this. of the money is always great especially an early stage startup what they're seeking right now. but i actually think that the rooms they will be in, the conversations they're going to be in and the problems the

original proclamation and honoring god and prayer and bible, things like that, that has changed. >> excellent point. it has a re religious tone and also has a very patriotic tone. that aspect of thanksgiving has diminished sadly over the years. what washington is asking americans to do is to ask for god's thanks for the creation of our country, for the creation of "the new republic", under the constitution. he is specifically mentions that. dennis: did washington go ahead and issue an annual thanksgiving proclamation thereafter and does it make this one less valuable when you put it up for auction? >> he did not issue a proclamation each year. this is the only one he issued, the second proclamation in 1157 but it was not an annual event. not until lincoln that the holiday became fixed as the fourth thursday in november. interesting what happened. after washington's proclamation the holiday took off among americans t was very popular very quickly. the problem was, different states celebrated it on different days.

that is the confusion that lincoln sorted out. cheryl: talk about money, dennis brought that up. >> yes. cheryl: this went on tour. the bid is november 14th. that's a thursday of the this is going to we believe 8 to 10 million? >> estimated eight million to $12 million. we've had interest here and in the united states surprisingly from potential bidders overseas. cheryl: i don't want to hear that. >> we're not supposed to concern who bought by i confess i hope an american purchases it. dennis: haven't many of rare items been fetching higher than expected prices? don't you auction guys tend to want to raise that bar when you say how much it could sell for? >> yeah, we sold washington's annotated copy of the constitution, last year, june 2012. sold for $9.8 million. we estimated two to three million. when that sold in auction in the mid '60s, sold for 24,000. i am not good at numbers but i think that is better than the stock market or rate of
12:45 pm
inflation. cheryl: patrick, thank you very much. thank you for bringing in the proclamation. >> my pleasure, thank you. dennis: one in 12 children in the u.s. is believed to have food allergies or other food intolerances. as a result many companies are beginning to produce what's% known as free-from food to capitalize on this growing base. jeff flock is in illinois with more on this, jeff. >> enjoy life foods is the company we're at today, dennis. i'll tell you see the packaging going on. nowhere in this facility are any of the common eight allergens. i will ask ceo, scott man dell, what are the eight allergens people are most likely to be allergic to. >> wheat, dairy, soy, peanuts, shellfish and eggs. that those are the big eight ate. >> a board member here, none of the 43 products have any allergens in them? >> that is correct. that is one of promises we do, made in dedicated nut-free,
12:46 pm
certified gluten-free facility and free of the top eight. >> big guys getting involved as well. general mills as well as kellogg's, both of them coming up with lines that they find are also free of all this stuff. because they see a great profit motive there. what am i looking right there, scott? >> right here we're packaging our cookies. the cookies are being pushed into the cartons this is special edition happy apple cookie. >> i got to ask you this. a lot of people think, if you're gluten-free, free of all this stuff, you're also free of taste. where do we stand with that? >> if it doesn't taste good the product will not sell. there is no question about that. the products do taste great. we spent a lot of time and energy over the last decade perfecting these products and they do taste great. >> proof of that is some of those grocers where the products are sold like natural grocers like, natural grocers, roundies. these guys are doing well.
12:47 pm
100% gain over the last year. >> absolutely. we're seeing great growth in both the natural market and conventional supermarket and mass market, target and walmart. >> all day today with free-from food. we'll taste it a little later, dennis. to see if in fact it is free from taste as well. some people used to describe these things tasting like cardboard with gravel in. those days are over. dennis: a little trans fat would help. i'm sorry. we're banning those too. thanks, jeff flock. >> see you, dennis. cheryl: we're following breaking news with regard to the justice department. they are confirming antitrust settlement with american airlines and us airways. a conference call getting underway any moment. we'll monitor. let's bring in jim corridor of s&p capital iq who joins us via phone. jim, the first question with all of this what changed with the doj? they got concessions with slots at airport but tone of the doj
12:48 pm
really changed with holder last week. what did they ultimately got out of this settlement with the amr and us air? >> i think doj realized the airlines had compelling case to make in court. they didn't want to go to court. they stepped up their ability to receive concession. what they're getting today is certainly significant. a little more than i think airlines would have to give up3 frankly. it certainly doesn't alter the economics of the deal and allows the doj to saves face. cheryl: what do you mean give up? smaller cities that have to be served or slot sales particularly at reagan and laguardia? >> particularly the slots that will go on at reagan and laguardia were a little more severe than we thought they would have to give up. certainly there will be many flights out of those two areas for the new american once the merger is completed. real economics is international routes of american combined with the low-cost culture and management of us air. i think that is the real true value and putting those two
12:49 pm
together should be a win for the company. cheryl: what is impact of airlines in the group? i'm talking specifically about people like jetblue and southwest airlines? they will be able to bid on some of those slots. i'm curious if that in your opinion is a positive impact. and what does it mean for united? what does it mean for delta? they have a bigger competitor now internationally when it comes to american and us air? >> certainly jetblue and southwest will be bidding on those assets and they will get some slots and they will be able to find attractive places to put those planes. definitely it is good for them. in terms of delta and united they are going to see a strong competitor but, you know, we're now well into ccnsolidation into the industry. economics of the industry are good. with an improving global economy, we've seen no reason why there shouldn't be strong profits for all three of those companies. cheryl: we're talking about 104 carrier slots. i think that is interesting in particular reagan. seems like reagan it came down to that one airport in this agreement. do you think that the companies
12:50 pm
gave up too much at reagan in particular? >> he will which think they were eager to not go to court as well, once you go to court all bets are off. anything could happen. certainly probably a little more than they initially wanted to give up or felt they should have to give up. there are plenty of slots at reagan still. there are plenty of slots at new york as well. i think it is not going to be a big issue. cheryl: jim, before i let you go, your predictions how long the merger is taking to be complete. this is not the end of the story, obviously. we don't think we'll hear from executives for a couple weeks. how long do you think the overall merger will take to complete and sign off on? >> i think they should be done by the end of the year. that is what they're saying in the press release by december. but now we start the integration process a year or two years. it will take to integrate technology, employees databases all that stuff. it will be a lengthy period before we know if this merger is successful or not. cheryl: at least, at least. jim corridore, we'll let you get on the call. thanks for joining us.
