calling him a chicken. connell: on the top of your head. but the story everyone is talking about this morning, the business world announcing pulling all tobacco products over 7,000 pharmacies around country and they will get it done october 1st. dagen: cbs stands to lose $2 million in annual revenue with this move but that is only roughly 2% of its annual revenue overall. the retailer plans to have this move complete by later this year, operating 7600 cbs and pharmacy stores nationwide. the ceo on the move. >> tobacco products have no place in a setting where health care is delivered. when we asked ourselves where we expecttto be in the future as a health-care company it became clear that removing tobacco products from our stores is the

right thing to do. connell: for more on this, jeff flock joins us. he is on the story for us. jeff: interesting, obviously, interesting impact talking to analysts who say cvs is a health-care company taking a shot at walgreen's on this, the concept we provide your health care, they provide other things as well. another cut from larry merlo, provided by cbs care mart, thinking about what they are going to do going forward. we don't have that one. i will have that next hour. positioning the company going forward so that they positioned themselves as a health-care provider. they got one of my numbers here, 800 plus, those minute clinics

when you get health care bill is that a place you can get cigarettes as well? back in the day, the doctor used to sometimes be smoking when conducting the examination of you back in the day. i remember those days. other impacts you mentioned, the $2 billion revenue hit, $0.17 earnings per share, they estimate between $0.06, and $0.09 earnings per share. but no change in the guidance in terms of profit going forward and in 2014. some ideas how to generate profit this year and going forward. dagen: and alcohol. >> as far as we know. i assume they still sell wine as well. connell: you said it. some good pr and yoo don't cut in too much percentagewise.

>> they are making a ton of dough on that anyway and that is the others thing. connell: we will hear more from the company. let's look at the report. jim rogers. dagen: got to give you credit because i stole that fought from you. very little downside financially, lot of public relations. connell: with a great thoughts of our times. that seems to be if you are a public company like cvs, people talking about it as we have fallen into today and don't make a big hit in your bottom line that is logical. look at tobacco stocks as i said before. nicole petallides joins us from the stock exchange. nicole: gold moved by cvs to do this, $2 billion. let's look at how tobacco stocks may or may not. notice how i had, the affected move by cvs, it is a bold move indeed, one of the analysts at wells fargo saying the bottom

line, we believe manufacturers, they will not be impacted by this move by cvs. we believe the volume will be displaced to other stores. people who want cigarettes and are interested in purchasing tobacco will do so elsewhere. so overall most likely heard those crackersmakers, down arrows for those makers and the rest but the big picture here is wells fargo does not believe those tobaccomakers will be affected by this move. dagen: thank you. when i said jim rogers could talk about anything he can. he is determined, rogers holdings, also the author of many books including street smart. jim made a comment. what were you saying about cvs? >> they replaced higher margins. everyone is saying they could be. they are trying to get rich and i applaud them.

dagen: will this competitor, cvs competitors and retailers? >> more walk in for competitors and so will the competitors. dagen: let's talk about emerging markets, looking extremely weak, certainly weighing on the markets. even in china. >> this is coming from the federal reserve. guys in the federal reserve have been printing staggering amounts of artificial money so everyone is getting free money and they shouldn't have been getting free money. turkey and india and indonesia, huge trade deficits, free money finance that no interest rates. artificial lotion is drying up. it is going to end. dagen: how bad? we are not going to have equal fallout in these markets. which market will be safer and

which markets will be safer than others? >> no such thing as safe. you better invest -- dagen: the difference between a compound fracture and five stitches in your hand. >> some stocks down 80%, no question, not this week but in this end down 80% or 90% and 30%. you are going to get hurt either way. dagen: do you think that the u.s. is more stable than other nations? >> they will keep cutting back and eventually there will be a lot of pain and guys in washington are bureaucrats and -pacademics, that is why they wk for the government. they could get a real job. they start hurting and screaming everywhere and we are sorry, printing money again and markets will rally again and -- dagen: do you think the retrench the federal reserve central bank retrenches on bond buying that

is cut? >> even if they don't do that, they won't do any more. and you pick he number and when the pain gets bad they will panic and come to the rescue once again and that will lead to a big rally and probably a bubble or maybe a bobble and you should run. dagen: a couple things. commodities have not done well. >> the stock market and the bull market between 82 and 2,000, 87, stocks went down 8%, 89, 90, 94, double market is over. that is the way markets work. grafting is a miracle. two british big ones, this is not some redneck from alabama

us now. they were talking about the stock market, down again today but we had a big decline in the market. does that have an effect on the negotiations, strengthening or weakening position on either side? >> it goes far beyond that. has a devastating impact on the market when the president of the united states will be saying basically congress refuses to allow him to increase the debt ceiling which means he cannot promise that he will be repaying $17 trillion. connell: if you were in the midst of your negotiating position you could point whether it is a direct cause and effect, the market is down and we have to get this done. >> john boehner has made it abundantly clear that he is not going to have the handful of tea

party people restrict the government and cause a fiscal disaster. what is going to happen is we are going to have a clean debt ceiling bill and if we don't have it, that is the end of the republican party as a national party as we know it and john boehner says it is not going to happen and it is not going to happen because they came to washington last time and knocking on doors and there were not moderate republicans or democratic, they knocked on tea party boards. connell: one of the problems is we get into these conversations and when you are having them, didn't i just speak about this? like groundhog day affect where the public gets bored, they will figure it out. they will come up with the deal in washington, they do every time. does that dynamic have an effect on how you negotiate? >> you bet your life it does. even though the deal is cut it doesn't mean we will lose hundreds of millions of dollars just even talking about not

doing it so treasury says we have until the end of february, half of that month we are going to be off on retreats and other things. it is not just -- it is the threat of not allowing him to do it. we have to before this week is out that the politics out of this. we have enough things to be political about but not the debt ceiling. connell: one more thing on the economy. people on the other side of the aisle, you know what they say, worried about the economy or health care issues, the cbo report. what is your review, your point of view on the economic recoveries? i you optimistic? >> the president made it abundantly clear that the deficit has dramatically been reduced. the second thing is even though it has improved the republican majority in the house has not allowed the federal government to join the private sector to

create the jobs that would come with the infrastructure. i am very optimistic that we will have a different republican party in congress if they have a different republican party relating to the presidency. connell: hope all the plowing went right with the district. could be better off down there. eyes, makes,ess. >> i was in korea in 1950. i got out of that. i will never complain about the weather. it was 20 below 0 in north korea. connell: stop winding, new york. good to see you, congressman charlie rangel. there is your prospective about lining about the ice and sleet. dagen: exactly. tomorrow's business today, a new development that could save lives on the battlefield. connell: how about college for

dagen: ralph lauren's revenue dropping 10% in its most recent quarter shares are hitting a new annual low. nicole: pretty amazing considering they did have a strong holiday quarter. brian has been on the air many times saying the most recent performance is surprising for the retailer, strong growth, considering apparel margins have not been great overall. flooded is going down 2-3/4 of 1%. they expect full-year 2014 revenue to rise 7% so it started off looking a little better earlier on but you can see it is getting hit to the tune of $4. they did well with wholesale

revenue, and throw it in. and stocks to the downside. dagen: in tomorrow's business today tiny sponges could save soldiers' lives. as syringe filled with rapidly expanding sponges, the product creates a barrier to blood flow and will provide gentle pressure potentially preventing a hemorrhage which is a leading cause of death on the battlefield. this includes x shaped markers to make them visible on an x-ray image later. the army has provided $5 million to fund the prototype to final development and the devices are awaiting fda approval.

the company says it got the idea from a flat foam tire repair which you know exactly what i am talking about. connell: college free two year tuition, any community college or technical school that is the plan late out by tennessee governor bill isaac and. tennessee would be the only state in the country to charge no tuition fees for high school graduates who have a plan to go to college. the way it would work is the proposal would set aside $300 million to an endowment from the state lottery fund to pay for the expansion. also part of the mission to make sure 55% of tennessee presidents have advanced degrees, free college, two years. the debate over obamacare heating up again, the program could cost half million jobs over ten years. dagen: from one program to another, the sochi olympics almost here but they are not ready in russia. even drinking the water, even

fox business network. back to dagen mcdowell and connell mcshane. dagen: breaking news, house republicans stock on how to proceed on the debt ceiling. connell: rich edson has the latest. rich: republican leadership had been shopping the pill that would have repealed the obamacare record low, a provision republicans call the obamacare bailout couple with an increase in the debt ceiling and republican leadership says the tally came back, they do not have enough republican votes to raise the debt ceiling and real that obamacare provision. they are stuck on this, trying to figure this out but another leadership aide says passed forward with the senate passing a clean-ceiling increase nothing attached, they send it to the house and put that on the house floor, this is working its way out. there are other issues issues going on a hearing focused on the congressional budget office's latest forecast, trillions of dollars of increased deficit and all that back and forth between democrats and republicans and obamacare.

>> better off in inducing a person not to work who is on the low-income scale, not to get on the ladder of life to begin working, the dignity of work, getting more opportunities, rising their income, joining the middle class, this means fewer people will do that. >> when you boost demand for labor in this kind of economy reduce the unemployment rate because of those people who were looking for work and find more work. rich: this is on the heels of the report released yesterday that obamacare reduces demand or supply of labor around 2.3 million people over the next few years will decide it is a better option for them not to work because of obamacare and the benefits of getting health care, and don't need a job to get health care. connell: rich edson, a couple stories in washington. dagen: sometimes if you go abroad don't drink the water is

we don't have the clarity of where and when they're doing them but they will be doing exactly if that. to their defense they have noticed many companies close underperforming stores. it is not unusual when they do. but overall got to watch radio shack. the fact is the stock is to the downside, some attention during the super bowl when they have their flashback to the 80s, there retro image and alf and erica estrada in their picture but the big picture is what is going forward for the next full year of radio shack but they're closing some stores to save some money. connell: in sochi, russia ahead of the olympic games, finding hotels still under construction, and drinkable water, that is a picture of it, pellets, some have been reported not flush toilet paper which can be a problem. we are joined by fox sports

fight in weather. that also means it will be very heavy and tough to move and you won't be able to start moving it until later tonight when it tapers off but at logan airport things are nearly deserted. is quiet, people are heeding those warnings about checking on their flights and cancellations and the lates. according to flight aware that tracks this all over the nation, there have been 2500 cancellations across the country, 1700 delays. we spoke with one family that is trying to make their way to texas, their son is graduating air force and they want to be there but facing a lot of travel. smith family from cape cod. >> we came up from the cape and stayed overnight and we are catching an earlier flight but the earlier flight we tried to get on. >> they have a strategy but it

is a tough one. they expect to land at 1:00 in the morning and rent a car and start driving. a lot of folks across the country are as similar situation where flights have been delayed or canceled. a couple folks decided to leave for the day, they hope to make their flight and it wasn't happening. that is the sort of thing happening across the country. we have an opportunity to clean up later toniiht but more snow on the way so we could expect another storm coming up for the weekend so winter's far from over. dagen: thank you for that reporting. connell: more bad news coming and that is the fact that there is more snow. dagen: meteorologist maria molina has the forecast for all of us. >> hello, everyone, still tracking this storm that is producing areaa of freezing rain across the new york city area and earlier this morning reports in central park that a quarter of an inch of ice had accumulated in addition to the

snow already on the ground and as everyone knows earlier this week on monday we got hit hard across the northeast with another snowstorm so you are seeing more and more precipitation, rain snow mix across rhode island and massachusetts and the reason for that is temperatures hovering around the freezing mark along portions of the 85 core, farther north in parts of upstate new york in western massachusetts into new england's where we do have that snow continuing to come down. we have a foot of snow in sections of new york. you see by the overnight hours conditions get drier, quieter, temperatures get colder so that means some of this moisture out here across the northeast could refreeze on a roadways and as people head to work a big concern for me is black ice, 6 to 12 inches of snow in

massachusetts and new hampshire and vermont. a weekend storm, i want to show you the computer model. later computer model runs are showing they are not really expecting a weekend storm any more so light snow in the area across the northeast but initially a few days ago showing this massive storm system in the northeast 30 inches of snow, doesn't seem to be the case. we will keep you updated. dagen: that is so awesome. i am so sorry, thank you for that. the u.s. oil boom as the industry pushing for expansion calling for end to the ban on exports to overseas countries. others are worried, wringing their hands. connell: dan springer has that story. why is that a ban on exporting u.s. will? >> ever since the arab oil embargo in 1973 americans have been in the mindset of keeping

every drop of domestic oil right here at home. a long line at gas stations, rationing only being able to buy gas on certain days depending on your license plate number. it may americans feel at the mercy of foreign oil producers mainly in the middle east selling was a no-brainer at the time to ban oil exports but fast-forward in today's oil industry booming, we cut back on imports and there is a worry that domestic production will outstrip our refining capacity. >> this ban threatens record-breaking .s. oil production and american jobs by creating efficiencies and other distortions. >> that was at a recent hearing in washington d.c.. the senator from alaska asked to lift the ban on oil exports. dagen: there are plenty of people who think it is a bad idea. what do they say? >> critical point to the fact while production is way up we still import 40% of the oil that

we use so we are a long way from oil independence. they argue this is about the oil companies making more money because frankly they could get a higher price if they export. the two sides disagree over the impact on gas prices. supporters say more oil on the global market brings prices down for everyone but opponents say more imports can only mean more expensive fuel. >> crude oil sold overseas can get $10 more per barrel than it can in the united states. that will make oil companies more money but could raise the price of gasoline here, forcing us to depend more on other countries. >> reporter: the white house has not responded to the request. turn next step is to test the waters in congress. connell: thank you. dagen: we don't need another cheese crisis not from kraft announcing thousands of cases of string cheese have been

7 million. because with all of the problems, that will be down to 6 million by the end of march. cheryl: thank you so much. do you remember when nancy pelosi alluded to the idea that obamacare would be not a job killer, a job creator? >> this bill is not only about the security of him go, it is about jobs. it will create 4 million jobs. dennis: she was certainly right it is about jobs. it will cost the economy more than 2 million jobs. let's get some reaction from a republican congressman from georgia. thank you for being with us. what do you think of the production about losing 2 million jobs over the next few years because of obamacare? >> i think it is just more bad

news for this administration. when they said that the 800,000 a year ago would be lost and now all the sudden it is 2.3 million to 2.5 million jobs by 2021 a lot all of a sudden we cannot believe the cbo, the unbiased scorekeeper on capitol hill and jay carney and gene sperling and justin furman want to put different spins on this. it is nothing but more bad news for obamacare. the very fact that 1 million less people are signed up now they may predicted, how much worse can it get? dennis: why is the office coming out with these projections only now? when we knew three years ago that obamacare would apply to any company with more than 50 employees, you urge companies, incidentally you lower some people to 29 hours.

why does the cbo, with these projections. >> i do not think that they really realize. i think that they tried to do a good job. they are trying to do the right thing. it is a moving target, unfortunately. in this case, clearly, for somebody to say it is a good thing that people do not have to work because they can get the health insurance without working , they can simply stay home and spend more time with kids and get we the taxpayer to pay for 60: seventy that 80% of the health insurance premium rather than stay on the job, what will that do to the economy that the gross domestic product? i do not see how you could put a positive spin on this. it is just more of the same.

bad news for obamacare. dennis: it seems this program is moving forward unstoppably. seroquel, yes. the president has said to us repeatedly, if you have an idea, if you have a better suggestion that come to be. i will listen to you. well, mr. president, we have lots of good ideas. let's repeal this law and let's start over again. let's listen to the senate. let's listen to doctor price who is part of my house caucus. let's truly make this a market driven healthcare system. dennis: congressman, no matter

what you do, anytime you expand health coverage by 25 or 30 million new americans, it does not matter how you shape the policy. >> a lot of these people, of course, are folks who have been eligible for medicaid. they are what we are calling the woodworking numbers. they are now part of the expansion of the federal poverty level. they are people who are eligible at the 100% level. they did not know it or did not bother to apply. i am all for those people being covered under the medicaid program. i do know is expansion. we can get rid of the maintenance which is killing the economy in the state of georgia. dennis: less than a third were

not covered before. most of these are these medicaid sign-ups. thank you very much for being with us today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. cheryl: from long-term outlook to what is happening right now, payroll processor adp out with its employment numbers. 175,000 jobs last month. just shy of expectations. the big number comes out friday. tom, first i want to follow up all of this controversy we are having over obamacare. jay carney said this yesterday. this is white house press secretary. many factors affect job growth. the actual performance of businesses refute those. from your standpoint, our businesses really hiring in a meaningful way? >> businesses are hiring.

would you take away the profits, they are less inclined to spend the money on people if there is no thought or vision of business increasing as a result. i would like to see a give and a tape. these $500 trillion companies that will go over 50 employees, whatever the small boutique firms are and they have to now provide health insurance woman draws that 50 threshold, let's give them a break. how about making their expenses 100% deductible instead of 50. you need to get some of these small employers involved in the process. cheryl: that is who we have created the laws or killing them. one of the other think that is kind of happening this week on capitol hill is emergency

extension of unemployment benefits. some think we should continue to have those in place, others who say it makes those unemployed lazy. what is the perspective of the job seeker right now? >> we see a lot of job seekers that will turn down potential employment that may be lower pay than what they want because it will screw up their unemployment benefits. it gets them back in the workforce. that is what we want to do. maybe unemployment should be a. process. you still get something if you are working. cheryl: potentially have the bias of some employers. they have admitted they are the

long-term unemployed. let's look forward to friday. what is the weather going to do to the jobs report on friday? we have had a january that we have not seen in decades with the weather. what does this mean for the jobs report? talk to my investor audience. they may be a little nervous about it reaction. >> i think the market may react a little bit differently. it is an interesting thing. the weather caused people to not do their jobs. it does not stop people from going to the unemployment line. when there is something free that people line up to take it. i think the numbers -- i think they will probably be a little over 175,000. unemployment will be flat. maybe a tenth of a percent lower. the only thing that will add jobs is innovation. giving everyone health insurance

is a handout. look at innovation and see what is happening with this companies and why they want to bring people on. cheryl: i will be looking at christian jobs, manufacturing numbers tomorrow. i think the weather will be a big hit. thank you very much, tom. >> always good to be with you, cheryl. thanks. dennis: calling it quits. why cbs is willing to give up some $2 million a year in tobacco sales. cheryl: americans from texas all the way up to maine, how long will this last? we are living the weather center with the forecast coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] a body at rest tends to stay at rest...
