on private sector jobs growth from the adb, treasury stumbling, the ten year yield hitting 75% earlier, waiting with the fed minutes at 2:00 eastern. a lot of expectations, this is sending stocks lower today. what is your take on this? >> if you look at the big picture it reminds me of america's funniest videos, wobbling on a high school the fed took the training wheels off of. bond market reacted accordingly with strength of the u.s. economic conditions, the stock market, we have fear in the market is indicated by the vix, trading up today, but those numbers are positive and for the long-term investor you should be buying when stocks go on sale like they did today. lori: thank you so much. dennis: oil is also selling off after the weekly inventory report hit its lowest level in five weeks. what is up?

>> the bottom line is despite the drawdown in crude oil supplies we got hit with a massive increase in gasoline supplies, refiners are running like crazy, taking the advantage of cheap crude, turning it into products, and gasoline, well above the five year average. those are absolutely incredible, talking over 6.2 million barrels of gasoline and 5.8 of distillate. we have more on a daily basis than we consume leading up to the buildup in inventories. we see the price of crude in the united states has hit a one month low and shows you the brent crude, that spread has gone to $14. in europe there are more concerns what is going on in libya. the rebels say they have taken over the oil export terminals creating more tension that spread out again. we have plenty here but europe

another story. lori: a little more on the ndp report that set the tone for the trading session. private employers adding 238,000 jobs last month well above expectations, economists raising their estimates for friday's important government report. among the highlights citigroup listing its forecast to 165,000 from 125,000. goldman sees 200,000 jobs added and deutsche bank even more bullish seeing a gain of 250,000 carroll added. the consensus estimate stands at 2,000 jobs with the unemployment rate at 7%. adam: alan mulally is taking himself out of the running for the top job at microsoft. the ends months of speculation for the two companies and their stock when steve ballmer said he would retire in august, immediately was one of the front

runners for the job since then, stocks moved in opposite directions. microsoft shares are up 4%, shares of tumbled 6% on the news that alan malawi possibly could leave but with the larger off the table this year ford shares are rising and renewed uncertainty weighing on microsoft shares so who's left to lead ford? one of the top contenders on the list to lead microsoft, former nokia ceo, and reporting microsoft will not make a decision next month at the earliest. lori: more trouble for big banks as another probe comes knocking, the sec and special investigator general for t.a.r.p. probing whether several banks miss christ mortgage bonds in the year after the 2008 financial crisis. this is under pressure, and elizabeth macdonald as the bottom line. liz: barkley's, citigroup, jpmorgan chase, royal bank of scotland all under the gun here

for possible new probe brought by the sec, what we are seeing here is these are alleged problems with bond mortgage pricing, and it looks like it is coming after the investigation and prosecution of jefferies, the guy who -- being accused of miss pricing securities fraud, also being charged with one t.a.r.p. fraud, and mortgage-backed securities under t.a.r.p.. what is interesting here about this, talking to bank executives who talked of fox business, for the 2009-2011 period we are talking at a time when the mortgage bond market was largely ice conover and remember this, we are going to suspend the mark to mike accounting rules, allow banks to use, quote, significant

judgment in pricing these security so it is difficult to see whether or not regulators can actually bring any actions against these banks over alleged miss pricing of mortgage bonds. lori: what do they export? liz: remember when we were reporting during that time, regulators going back and forth, this is i stover, then relax the standard and say you can use your own judgments. will be dicey to see if they can, dicey for the regulators to bring action against the big banks but banks and fox business, this was going on during the time period the probe is going on, jefferies is not under investigation and didn't commit any fraud. adam: chamber of commerce delivering an aggressive strategy on its plan for

promoting a pro-business majority in congress, rich edson spoke to the sick jenna jenna-the ceo and has more force. rich: in his annual state of american business address ceo tom donahue says the chamber of commerce will be active in half a dozen congressional races to try to let candidates to work within the legislative process, to beat those who threaten to shut down the government or breach the debt ceiling, and work on immigration and tax reform and free trade agreements and it is an election year and congress remained divided and lawmakers will accomplish little of the chamber's agenda or anyone's agenda. we asked when the business community would invest more and whether washington is to blame for slow economic growth. >> what are we going to do about the trade agreements, what benefits does that provide to the business, what will we do on the long haul about entitlements

which we say okay, then we can look at this and say we're doing smart things, limit regulation a little bit and go start investing. >> congress would eventually approve them and find some way of doing so without adding to the deficit though he says because the economy is beginning to create jobs, congress shouldn't extend very long. >> twitter shares slumping on a downgrade. kantor fitzgerald cutting the stock to sell from a hold rating keeping the price target at $32 a share, 6050 right now. the firm says the company's valuation no surprise, not hurting other social stocks, the sector broadly higher as you can see driven by, a new high jpmorgan raised its price target on that stock. and johnny mandel will enter the nfl draft.

adam: jpmorgan ceo jamie dimon see another 50% cut to his bonus this year as the bank remains in the press for all the wrong reasons? charlie gasparino is here with some exclusive details. how much is he going to get. >> i don't know. they haven't made the decision. the decision by the jpmorgan board but we're getting this from jpmorgan insiders. i guess they're laying ground

work why jamie dimon deserves a bonus and one that is bigger than 2012 from what we understand. he should get a pay hike for 2013, at least that's what insiders are telling us. they expect this pay hike, which 90% of it is a bonus. that how wall street guys get paid, small salary, big bonus. they expect it to be bbgger than 2012. he learned 10 million in 2012. in 2012 he took a 50% pay cut from what he earned in 2011 which was $21 million. we should point out here is their case. jpmorgan execs argue that dimon inherit ad problems. took over wamu. they paid 20 billion in fines. taking over wamu and bear stearns during the financial crisis. even madoff they're saying occurred before -- adam: not going to challenge on that one. >> occurred before he became the ceo of the combined jpmorgan chase. he will also argue that the majority of the bank's regulatory problems, there was a

story in the journal today about another bond probe or whatever, but they're saying the 345 majority of their problems, regulatory is behind them. they have the china probe but they're in that with everybody else. they have libor maybe out there with everybody else. but the big tickle numbers you will not be seeing a lot of them they will say coming up at least very soon. that they have gotten, they have another year of small stuff. but nothing like they have had in the past. they're also going to argue that profits remain steady. share price is higher. we should point out next week, jpmorgan announces earnings. it will get their fourth quarter earnings and yearly profit. even with all this stuff i think they will make anywhere between 18 and $20 billion. not a record but a close record. that's their case. take it for what it's worth. i think, i think jamie, if i was a betting guy based on what they're telling me, remember it's a board decision but a lot of times these guys reflect what the board is saying or thinking, it is a good chance he is

getting more than 11 million here. adam: you make a good argument. the share price is up. he steered them through these difficulties. now i will make the argument we hear from shareholders at the annual meeting who think he is not right ceo of the not taking sides but this excuse i inherited like don corleone i inherited the problems and did nothing to fix them. >> you know, listen, you know, we don't have him here. adam: right. >> i feel uncomfortable being lackey for jpmorgan since i have never done that in my entire life. i would just say if i were him i would probably say this, listen, running a big bank is very complicated. you have some issues. we were focused upon in many ways. i believe because of, he would say, because of some of the remarks he made about president obama and regulatory policy, i think there is a good case to be made that he inherited a lot of the issues from wamu, from bear stearns. by the way, when we say inherited, the problems predated them buying it. adam: let me give you issues he didn't inherit.

i realize he done the mea culpa for the "london whale" and madoff stuff. 2007 is a key year. >> think about this for a minute. they paid $2 billion, right, for not doing what the sec didn't do with more information. adam: it is a little bit deeper than that. we don't have time to go into it's now settled but picard lawsuit. there was potentially check kiting going on between mr. madoff and norman levy which the bank was aware of but bank was getting fees on loans they were giving to levy. that is the question. shareholders who are upset with this are asking. >> they don't have, i will say this, shareholders voted for jamie to be chairman and ceo. he dodged that bullet. so whether he gets it or not, i can't tell you for sure. inside the company they're saying he will get a bonus. it will be bigger than 2012 and they will say he deserves it for all the reasons i laid out and whether he does or not? adam: won't decide that. charlie, you have inside source

bezos made the slash think announcement that he would use drones to deliver packages? >> i know the complexities there are meeting that challenge, especially on the safety side of things. but after thinking bit i believe there is a way to do that and that is the next evolution in business, is looking at robotics and uavs is a natural transition. lori: you're, from what i understand, already using drones as a way to photograph farms, correct? how long have you been doing that? tell me more how it helps your business. >> well, i started using uavs in 2006 after seeing my farm from an airplane in 2004 and noticed it was a missing puzzle for precision agriculture having timely and high resolution images. right now i'm using it as general scouting. we have to go out to look at crops all the time anywayses. this gives us a bird's-eye view of it and provides us 100% of our field, where if you walk or ride a four-wheeler in a field

you only see a percentage of it. lori: we're looking at the video of the drone. looks like a model airplane. very simple technology, is it or not? >> at this point in time you can buy systems for $1500 all the way up to $100,000. you get what you pay for, but using images to make management decisions is what i'm looking at right now and, as the faa develops regulation that is would be helpful for agriculture, we will see the technology improve to do what agriculture needs it to do. lori: boy, speaking of regulations and helping the agriculture industry i have to ask you about the farm bill which as you know has been delayed. a lot of that has to do with debate over the snap program and food stamp program, which is 80% of farm bill fund, the food stamp program in this country yet leaving some farmers with this sort of uncertainty about the future, right? not sure if you heard me.

>> there is some uncertainty out there but, as we look at it, congress is moving forward. they are in conference right now in committee, hashing over some of those issues and where there are you had hurdles to overcome and meet together. but the farm bill is very important to agriculture because we need the stability, not only for our own farms and families but also for the small communities that farms are such a big part of. lori: absolutely. want to remind our viewers that robert is the president of the idaho grain producers association as well. so thank you for sharing your drone technology using on your farms there. robert blair, see you soon. adam: coming up in moments what will bernanke, yellen and other fed members thinking when they began the tapering? a look inside at the fomc minutes is next. plus what cool new electronic product would you like to see come out of ces? tweet us your dream gizmos as tracy byrnes and ashley webster

tracy: hey, good afternoon, i'm tracy byrnes. ashley: i'm ashley webster. inside the fed. coming up in moments what were bernanke, yellen and other fed members thinking when they began to taper? markets, they could be worried. markets off 68 points. we'll get inside look at fomc minutes in just seconds. >> what cool electronic product would you like to see come out of consumer electronics show? i want someone to come home and cook. dream gizmos and of course liz claman will talk to the ceo of dish network live from ces in just moments. ashley: robot for everything. in tech minute, yahoo!'s marisa mayer changing the company's focus from search to video content. the question is, will it work? tracy: estimates that the cold-snap gripping the country, costing the economy about

$5 billion. we'll have the cold hard facts ahead. all that and much more on this smokin' hot hour of "markets now." ashley: smokin' hot. that is how you say it. breaking news from the fed. coming up in literally seconds. peter barnes with the details. >> tracy, assuming job creation continue as they expect most fed members want to finish up tapering fed bond purchases by the second half of this year but members made no commitment to a specific pace of tapering this year which is what a lot of investors want to know. that's the key takeaway from the minutes of the last fomc meeting in mid-december. at that meeting as you recall, the fed decided finally to cut its $85 billion a month in quantitative easing bond purchases to $75 billion a month starting this month. the minutes say, quote, conditional on their respective economic outlooks most participants judged that it would be likely, likely be appropriate to begin to reduce3 the pace of the committee's purchases of longer term

securities in the first quarter of 2014 and to conclude purchases in the second half of the year. but, a number of participants thought it would be appropriate to end the asset purchase program earlier. in fact, a majority of participants judged that the marginal efficacy of purchases is likely declining as purchases continued, continue the minutes say. but the minutes also say, quote, many members judged that the committee should proceed cautiously in taking the first action to reduce the pace of asset purchases and should indicate that further reductions would be undertaken in measured steps. ashley and tracy. tracy: peter, stay with us because you're right, there is no commitment to the pace. we'll talk about that. we'll bring in the our panel, charles payne, sandra smith and chris rukke chief economist at bank of tokyo mitsubishi. chris, what jumped out at you? >> well, it sounds like some of the members are the abouting a little cold feet about the fact

that they continue to do this 85 billion. yes we're ride together rescue we're going to guy 85 billion. that's a signal. that is good. stock market goes up on it, anticipates it but this month after month, i mean what is the purchases doing now? don't forget when they did this, government purchases back in december of 2012, 10-year treasury yields were 1.7. they bought almost a trillion dollars. where is it now? ashley: close to 3%. >> how can we say p it is really working if the yield is drifting up. the whole thing smacks of, somebody said it once before, that the fed fought inflation for too long. now they will fight unemployment for too long. and i think --

ashley: interesting. >> they're going on for too long doing this. ashley: as we talk, stocks starting to turn lower, down 84 points. sandra, what about the timing? people believe the fed is on automatic pilot, scaling back 10 billion at a time wrapping up nicely by end. year but maybe sooner? >> in the minutes they said, quote, they're not on a preset course. so while we say that, then you see what the actual fed members were saying and some of them want to be done with this bond purchasing program by the end of the year. in fact most of them do so how would the markets not interpret that as a preset course? that we'll get there by fourth quarter of 2014. perhaps we're seeing why the markets are selling off on that news. tracy: because that's quick. >> in a way it is quick and in a way it is not. i want to piggyback what chris said i thought was interesting. when we get a new drug approved is the three phrases. efficacy.

you can argue was this whole thing, forget about even now but the whole adventure, magical tool box that ben bernanke went into and created did it really do anything for main street? i happen to think they're looking at their dual mandate but i think housing with the bernanke fed has played a real critical role and i think that has been a source of frustration for them and one of the reasons they pushed this very dangerous $4 trillion balance sheet ahead. >> we continue to talk about how interest rates continue to march higher despite what the fed has been doing. you mentioned the housing market. as i read through the minutes, they said in the pace of activity of housing sector, quote appeared to continue to slow. the one area of concern, while they were jolly about the employment market, while they were jolly about consumer sentiment and investors they are still concerned about the housing market. tracy: let's get peter back into this. how does janet yellen play in all of this? will she come out at the next meeting and give us a schedule because that is what i think

everyone is looking for? >> they talked about guidance how they would finish up quantitative easing and decrease the pace of purchases going forward in the year and there are plenty of analysts out there who think that we might see that come out in the january meeting. but the one thing they don't want to do is box themselves into a corner. they do want to make sure they have flexibility in case, you know, we have another spring swoon, right? we've seen that in years past. the fed has, had to go back and provide more stimulus for the economy. ashley: chris, let me mention, you mentioned the 10-year yield above 3%, the dollar rising against the yen, the euro and the pound avenues of, what we got in niece minutes. obviously the fact they will start cutting back but what pace? what about inflation, chris? for first time we heard fed members talk about inflation. some talked about it for years. it hasn't been an issue up to now. if anything deflation? >> i thought they trotted out

the low inflation story, first off i think it is overblown. there issno, i'm at a japanese bank. there is no deflation coming that will drag down the u.s. economy. the output gap in the u.s. isn't something that is going to lead to prices to fall year after year after year like it did in japan. so, yeah, i was interested that they were saying they might have to defend the inflation target from below but, you know, the credibility here really is interesting because core pce inflation is 1.1% now. back in 2005, when they were pushing rates to 5.25%, it was 2.2 core inflation. so 2.2 inflation. that is too hot. 1.1 is something they need to defend? i mean, come on! credibility in their arguments i find strained. tracy: charles, pick up on what chris was saying how now they will have to defend the labor numbers right? really that is what they will focus on, getting labor numbers

up. >> right. tracy: maybe this will finally trickle down to main street? maybe we'll finally start to see job creation. or do you think something will happen internally and has nothing to do with all the money flow? >> i think the u.s. as economy, quote, unquote, built to last for a long time, the coast is sort of clear now. we are getting a natural progress back. adp, 238,000. a huge number of construction. pretty good number of p manufacturing. that is on friday. not necessarily great news. we need to see wages where i differ a little bit with chris. forget about adjusting, if real wages continue to drift lower, seems like deflationary argument stays out there. it may not be front and center but lingers a little bit. tracy: peter, maybe you could comment as well i was seeing a few fed members wanted to lower the unemployment rate threshold they have been using to 6%. >> you know why? because a few of them know it's a game.

if 8 million people leave the job market it is not real unemployment number. tracy: if it is only a few we've got a problem. >> good point. >> the reason they wanted to do that, they know, right, peter, they will keep the fed fund target rate low for an extended period of time but yet they are not going to move it. >> that's right. they invest ad lot of time to try to bifurcate and differentiate the different tools. one the quantitative easing tool, bond purchases, and the other keeping short-term interest rates, the fed funds rate near zero for an extended period and absolutely there are some there right now that they said, we are going to keep the fed fund rate low, even well after the unemployment rate hits 6.5%. there is some, some of the doves though do want to maybe lower that threshold to 6% as you said. ashley: that is interestink abo, chris? >> well, for me i'm not sure the urn employment rate at 7%

represents true economic distress in the country. i hate to go the other way here but i mean, don't forget, 7% unemployment, there is like 10.9 million people out of work right now. 1.3 million of that 10.9, they are people been out of work for two years. ashley: yep. >> survey people call you and each month you go, i've been out of work for two years, that is a new category of people. ashley: yeah. >> something else needs to be done. that is nothing to do with a weak economy. so they shouldn't be pointing to that, the fed and saying the sky is falling. so, kick those people out, not literally but 1.3 million. it comes down, the unemployment rate would really be 6.2 today. and maybe those people should drop out of the labor force? maybe they eventually will but it is not a sign of economic distress. we're creating too many payroll jobs every year. i can't believe the economy is that weak. tracy: but if you have, even with all of this, ashley and i talk about this all the time,

there is a lack of confidence in the economy still what goes on in washington. sandra, how does the economy keep going even though everything is in place to do so? >> to tie in one other number to describe business spending, they called it subdued. so there were some areas of concerns that they pointed out there that they weren't pointing such a rosy picture all around. hey, at the end of the day, their biggest job right now as far as managing financial markets, so they don't tighten up as we're seeing markets sell off on this is going to give markets some sort of a timeline. we are uncertain, we're way back into the ball game on good news, bad news, et cetera, et cetera. tracy: you guys are awesome. charles, sandra, chris, thanks for coming in. peter barnes, thanks for hanging out in d.c. >> you bet. ashley: thank you, guys. how about this? a free ipad to every new subscriber. you will take that? liz claman next in ces las vegas with dish ceo joe clayton whether the promotion is actually a money-maker.

tracy: we're live at ces. what cool new electronics products would you like to see come out of this big ol' consumer electronics show? tweet us. maybe he can come home and cook for me. liz claman is coming up. ashley: love the suit. >> we'll talk to the ceo of a company designing three-wheel cars and building them in detroit. look at this thing go. tracy: as we do every day this time of day. we will look at oil. apparently that doesn't use too much of it. earlier today it hit a five-week low. at $92.51 a barrel. the dow is down 85 points. don't go anywhere.

[ male announcer ] and we do. it's how edward jones makes sense of investing. ashley: just coming up to quarter past the hour. time to check the markets. nicole petallides down on the floor of new york stock exchange. what is this with jcpenney, nicole. >> shopper traffic said foot traffic in the stores dropped 14% but one retailer did well. they say they were pleased and

that is jcpenney. jcpenney said their holiday sales that pleased them. they saw good numbers. they reaffirmed the forecast for the comp sales. everybody expected they would do better, they told us exactly that however analysts are saying show us the exact numbers, jcpenney. maybe they're the wildcard. as a result the stock is pulling back down 8% today which only adds to the fifth week loss of 7%. -- 35-week loss of 7%. ashley: nicole, thank you. tracy: what cool and electronic product would you like to see come out of the consumer electronics show? we have a few thoughts. tweet us answers, we'll put them at the bottom of the screen. speaking of cool devices, liz claman at ces with the ceo of the company that won last year's 2013 best of ces award. liz, how cool. >> i know. it really is. i want you to meet my friend, super joey. are you having a good show?

having a good consumer electronics show? super joey is the name of the dvr extender, that dish, satellite tv giant came out past couple years. they have three new iterations of the super joey. this enables you to binge and get fat on all your favorite shows like "breaking bad." joe clayton is the ceo of dish network and chief kangaroo for the hopper around joey which in a nutshell helps people skip over advertisements. >> if that is what they want. it is up to the consumer. liz: you can imagine it didn't go well with the broadcast networks but gone over very well with consumers. tell us about the numbers and how many people are buying this? >> i can't divulge the exact numbers, liz, but i can tell you in the court of public opinion this is a home run and even in the court of laws it seems like the judges sided with us and with the consumer and i think that's the important thing here.

it is not we're against advertising. we do a half a billion of dollars in years ourselves but we want to use technology to better focus the advertising to the appropriate audience. liz: what joe means when he says a court of law, some networks, including fox, parent of ours, didn't take too warmly to this because of course they use the advertising model. but nonetheless the courts supported you and you have taken off running. you're unveiling three new joeys, extenders of the hopper which allows, extend, takes you where? >> can take you almost any place you want to go. this is about enhancing the hopper experience. the first one here is a haywireless joey. now, i don't know about you, but you build a house and you want to put your tv of course, it has to be where the coaxial cable is. we weren't smart enough to figure that out, buy an apartment or building a home. this allows to you do it wirelessly. put the tv and haywireless joey in your, in your bathroom, in

your kitchen, on your pad yo. even in the garage. i don't know why. but this eliminates cable clutter, if you will. what we have here, and you with super joey, this allows the consumer to record up to eight programs at one time. now you say, who would want to record eight programs? if you're look me, and i got five kids, i want to watch "bones", a good fox program. shopping network. my 16-year-old daughter wants to watch a vampire movie and my son has some stupid hangover movie cued up and that doesn't count my other three daughters. everybody wants more programing capability to record. liz: tell me about your engineers. is it hard to find engineers in the u.s. these days? >> it is. this is very sophisticated electronics. as we move into nanotechnology, which is smaller, more compact, that is why you see the size of

these so much smaller than in the past, it is hard. i don't think we have enough engineers, graduates coming out of school today. liz: do you wish we had better immigration policy that allowed that if. >> as part of the consumer electronics association we're promulgating that. yes, i wish we had improved immigration policy. liz: let me get to haywireless. we talked about it last year. you guys are constantly looking for spectrum. will we see a deal with you, t-mobile, who knows? >> who knows. there are all possibilities. the key, liz, on this is to acquire spectrum. spectrum is like oil, gold and water. you can't get enough of it. and to buildout and to expand into haywireless space we will need more spectrum. that is what we're focused on today. liz: we'll look for a deal there i always have to ask him will you merge with directv at some point the other satellite giant? >> maybe. it is one of the options, liz. liz: we love that. what a great logo you have over

here. as we finish up, joe clayton of dish rolling out their hoppers. look, it's a flashmob. it's a flashmob of joeys. adorable. isn't this cute, you guys? send it back to you from the consumer electronics show. 47th year. he has been to all 47 years of them. tracy: very cool. liz claman and the joeys. like a band. ashley: like a '50s act. liz claman and the joeys. coming up on "countdown to the closing bell," snap dragons, well, no, not the flowers, new computer chips. liz as first on fox business interview with intel ceo-elect. steve mollenkopf. snap dragons, all the things at the electronics show. including giant -- tracy: joeys. ashley: joey is like baby kangaroo, right? a is that what they are called. tracy: yeah. giant joey in your bathroom. microsoft in desperate need

could name it by the beginning of february, that's what we hear, beginning of february. that could change though. as the talks drag on at microsoft, indicated to us they would name a ceo by the end of last year. ashley: right. >> you know, it becomes clear about who the names still on the list are. still nokia's steven elop, who ran company as ceo. cloud computing guy at microsoft, microsoft head of business development, tony bates, and unknown character. ashley: a wildcard. >> a wildcard that may come from outside the company, guys. tracy: you're saying beginning of february we're going to know this? >> possibly. that is always a moving target with the company. they told us at end of last year they would see a new ceo at microsoft. problem behind the scenes, steve ballmer still owns a big stake of microsoft. sits on the board. bill gates heavily involved what goes on with microsoft. talking about resetting expectations with a company,

much for a 4 wheel drive, and early next year, three wheel car, the man behind the concept, he joins us but you just watched, and how it went rolling down the street and yours doesn't roll. >> and the simulation of going 50 miles an hour, incredibly stable. ashley: two wheels on the back, more stable. how does the federal government recognize these types of vehicles? does it consider anything with less than four meals a motorcycle and do the drivers have to wear helmets, does it change the landscape little bit? >> three wheels left on the

ground you are a motorcycle. and helmet laws are state by state, when we started there are a seven state, inside this vehicle, we have gotten a lot in five or six states and the 100% success rate. doesn't make sense with three airbags and complete roller cage and automotive control. tracy: the tristate area is jammed with cars. not sure, with a suburban next to me. >> it is a lot bigger than it appears virtually. it is a full length vehicle but half with and the target market, had it on the capital and a senator who sits on appropriations by one on the spot and folks who can't afford a home phone who also want to

buy one. it transcend economics. ashley: some of the stats, this weighs 100 lbs. a 3 cylinder one liter fuel injection engine, has 50 to 700 hp. hoo far can you go on a gallon of gas and how much gas does it hold? >> claim to fame is 84 miles a gallon, we anticipate a 5-star crash rating and $6,800. and go 670 miles on the highway. you can go further than your bladder will endure. ashley: wanting to clarify people get the wrong idea on -- when you showed that video, these were enormously popular in the 70s, and this was the main problem with them, they had one wheel on the front, two in the back and try to make a turn they go too properly, there you go, used to flip over all the time but they were popular because

they were cheap and appealed to a certain segment of the population in the u.k. but also voted one of the worst cars ever made in the united kingdom. this is clearly a different animal. when do you start production? i thought you were supposed to start production summertime of last year? >> it slipped in to production mainly due to funding not coming on time. always comes in late. i joke around as engineers we can hold a time line and lawyers can't seem to hold one. tracy: using general motors assembly plant assembly and stamping plant producing these cars in the united states, louisiana creating jobs. >> 90% north american content so we are proud of that, truly an american project. ashley: when could we see these available for sale on the roads? >> right now we are on track for
