cheryl: the dow up 103 points. happy day. thank you, charles. i am cheryl casone. adam: i am adam shapiro. banks hitting back at the the federal reserve stress tests. why some are now questioning the transparency of the process. cheryl: president obama in saudi arabia with the ukraine situation, should the president convince the biggest oil producer to join the u.s. and put pressure on russia's vladimir putin? and if the saudis will help. adam: the king of advertising, rare and exclusive interview with the man who is credited with creating the media agency the ceo of wpp's group and on what is next. cheryl: he never does jimmy. adam: how the world is changing. first shares of city have been hit hard after the proposed capital plan failed the fed stress test.
1:01 pm
you would think other banks would be piling on the negative statements but do they feel sorry for city and their ceo? charlie gasparino is here with the details. call the bankers bonus and how is this not keeping in that thing? >> when you talk to rival bankers they have no reason to stick out for citigroup and not on the record because they are afraid. what they say is look at the arbitrary nature of what goes on with stress tests. last year jpmorgan didn't fail to address tests but they got some sort of delay and asked for more stuff to do more stuff in terms of capital and all that so they delayed and forced them to do more. why did they do that? the people at jpmorgan did that not because they have a capital fund but believe it was payback for the london whale. whenever these raiders miss something they use the stress test as a way of smacking back at the banks and putting them on
1:02 pm
notice. that is what dick bove said. adam: a lot of taxpayers would say good. >> we could wait in and go back and forth but citigroup people believe this is clearly payback for that scandal they had in the mexican subsidiary, a huge scandal brewing, foreign bribery making loans to bad players in mexico, they are getting hit pretty hard in mexico. y investigation, an fbi investigation. they believe the stress test which is arbitrary is holding them accountable for that. this is how they get back at banks, use the stress test. adam: what about holding city accountable for the fact that you and i and 310 million americans shaved the proverbial but of those people billions of dollars? >> that is a different issue.
1:03 pm
all these banks too big blue station breaks,. very hard to manage. michael corbett, ceo of citigroup needs to be taken to task for the fact that he didn't see this coming. that is why he was brought in. adam: the scale. >> if there is an arbitrary nature to the stress tests. does anybody think citigroup will go out of business? adam: we saved them the last time. >> this is a company that the shareholders are saying right now it is not a company that is going out of business. shareholders i think no more than regulators. if the regulators throw red flags up there. talk about an ugly charge but if you look at these sort of pattern of the players that have failed, will get dinged on the stress tests is usually around a scandal that often regulators in this. no offense to the fed go and the
1:04 pm
sec, but jpmorgan is a highly regulated bank, a bank that undergoes examination, has the fed living in their offices. jpmorgan feels sorry for city. if you think about it, they are dealing with the same issue, too much federal oversight. this is a barrier to business for all of them and lending, you have regulators on one side and federal reserve saying we need liquidity. >> a lot of checks and balances, which stress tests collect the banks during the financial crisis? who knows. a lot of that was off-balance sheet that regulators, we should point out the london whale was uncovered by reporters and the bank fessed up to it. was not uncovered by fed officials that were sitting
1:05 pm
inside jpmorgan's office. the subsidiary of citigroup that was not uncovered because a bunch of regulators found it out there. it is almost an aftereffect. these stress tests almost come after if you look at it and aftereffect when they fail. >> they are always behind the curve. >> a was not a failure of the stress test. the decline city's request to buy back shares. that is why we are talking about. this is a bank that had $600 billion off balance five years ago and they still haven't cleaned it up. >> they passed last year. >> wears a allowed to give as much back? the shareholders get hurt here. were they allowed to give as much that? >> theoretically i don't have the stress test in front of me and i am not a back -- a bank regulator but banks are getting stronger. i don't know -- how much weaker
1:06 pm
is they could get. for citigroup to fail this thing, listen, i think they should break up the bank's theoretically, but it sounds fishy when every time these guys get dinged on the stress tests it is after a scandal that regulators' action will in this. and that is the inside story. look at the coincidence on the failure of these. cheryl: thank you so much. good stuff today. a stock alert for you. major averages in the green at the dow turns positive for the week. let's head to the floor of the stock exchange, nicole petallides. nicole: looking pretty good. dow jones industrials off 101 points of the earlier highs. in the green for the week so that is green news for the bulls out there. there was shortcoming as well. a lot of focus seems to be on some new money coming in to wall street.

1:08 pm
netflix and judy shaping it? jo lin king as the details. >> netflix taking a little bit because amazon got something up its sleeve but first amazon denying reports that it may seem like free advertising supported the is streaming service that look-alike who but with the original content from amazon. the new service would offer free music videos with ads for people practicing music on amazon. company is experimenting with new products but they denied any free media. amazon announcing changes to their video service in new york next wednesday morning. we are anticipating a debut of new video screening device, a stick that will be similar to the google crown cap. they said it will be an update on video business from peter larsen. he is the vice president of kindle. we will bring you those updates next week. checking amazon stock, up 1.4%.

1:10 pm
november after three cars caught fire this as tesla's ceo elon musk took to his blog this morning announcing plans to add a titanium shield to the underbody of all its vehicles to protect a battery. will that make a difference? >> i have no idea. i think it is the coolest looking car on the road. cheryl: i don't want to to catch on fire. >> we all want that in any, we are in. cheryl: the deadline is coming down on consumers to register for obamacare. the rush to boost registration and make up the 1 million consumer enrollment back facing the government. adam: the world's largest media buyer, the $96 billion man. her when gottlieb on the future of advertising. cheryl: a quarterly loss is still a win. struggling smart phonemaker blackberry surprising the street big time. i've always had to keep my eye on her...
1:11 pm

1:12 pm
my individual health profile, not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still gonna give me a heart attack. innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. when folks in the lower 48 think athey think salmon and energy.a, but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well:
1:13 pm
jobs all over america. thousands of people he jobs all over america. to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.
1:14 pm
adam: blackberry back from the dead, a much narrower than expected loss. scott martin, chief market strategist at united adviser, and fox business contributed joins us now. blackberry ceo john chen is pleased with the progress the company is making. do you agree with the perspective of the street or is this a lot of word vomit. >> i love the term word vomit. it might be a little after a hangover. and we get up from the hospital, and losing tens of millions of dollars. and the blackberry tablet. and the competitor closed in on
1:15 pm
that. and the millions of phones, blackberry selling 1 or 2 million. it is a tough spot to be in. one of those deals where the company's parts are greater than the sum, and they -- >> the ceo is saying they will have revenue growth returning fiscal 2015. >> that is a little more vonage. that is hard to deliver on. let's see if they can deliver it again. and in total itself. adam: let's go by tombstone for blackberry and move to amazon. they are certainly a serious threat of a problem and they have the big announcement next week. shares are up, jo lin king will be covering the big announcement next week. what do you expect out of that.
1:16 pm
>> she is right. this is interesting about amazon. blackberry is going down, amazon rising and they are going to point sale. you are talking about a company, website with tens of millions of people coming every month talking about this streaming video that will help people look at a video, look at a movie, watch a dvd and go to the purchase point. you don't have to click anywhere on the page, you can get it right then and there. that is what the future is. you have to make it easy for customers to buy stuff. amazon is taking advantage of that. adam: we were triple digit earlier, will this be a lost quarter when we going to earning season? some are saying it is not a good quarter. >> probably not going to be a great quarter but maybe, maybe not, this looks like consolidation more than anything, the market is expecting lousy earnings, anything above that will be very
1:17 pm

1:25 pm
saudi arabia was one of our friends when it came to oil production and obviously the concerns in recent years especially in the obama administration that now that the u.s. is becoming a big producer the saudis say you don't need us anymore backing the sun major issues whether it is iran or syria or egypt and the saudis are concerned they are being left out in the cold by this administration so there is going to be a lot of sense mending that has to be done because the saudis are very important player in the global energy sphere. cheryl: as much as we talk about energy independence and a plethora of natural gas we have in this country we still do need the saudis. they still have the upper hand on the u.s. right now. >> yes. i have to agree, he is very much write about them being a friend
1:26 pm
of the house and they will be this linchpin of the global market going forward and last year reliant on opec of 3.5 million barrels a day, the lowest level since 1996. we are weaning ourselves off of reliance on them but the reality is they have the capacity whereas no other nation in the world has that. we are going to be reliant and keep good relations -- cheryl: do you think the saudis and president obama could convince the saudis the need to come on board, they worked together to threaten vladimir putin? russia is no. 3 in the world. do you agree with that? >> there's a certain amount of bartering that needs to be going on as the market has mentioned just before that, we aggravated them in the stance relating to syria and relating to iran and the bridges need to be rebuilt and behind-the-scenes they won't
1:27 pm
be doing that. cheryl: what do you say? >> the saudis, the backstop for u.s. policy in the middle east for years. they have always raised production when we needed to whether it -- when we went into iraq or other issues like that. this is an important relationship. especially when it comes to russia because the bottom line is if we get into a conflict with russia or they move into the ukraine energy is cut off and we will be the saudis to ramp up production and obviously they will want some assurances from the obama administration they have their back when it comes to iran, egypt, jordan to name a few. cheryl: real quick, 101 and change, oil up or down? >> you can stand in front of this momentum. if it were a month later i would say down because we have so much oil but this time of year with a geopolitical risks one more pot. melissa: one more plot?
1:28 pm
>> i would like a round the $100 mark. we won't go much higher than that. around 98 but not much. cheryl: matt smith and phil flynn, i just got a new nickname, thank you very much. appreciate it. adam: madison avenue at the intersection of silicon valley and wall street. advertising is all about the numbers. cheryl: no one knows that better than our next guest, an exclusive interview with the man credited with creating the media agency, 28% of the world's mobile that expenditures. groupon ceo irwin gottlieb.

cheryl: the advertising industry is becoming a lot less like "mad men" and a lot more like wall street. the man at the forefront of this change, irwin gottlieb, known as the king of ads. he is credited with the creating infrastructure how advertising is bought, and sold. adam: he is leading the charge into the digital frontier and he joins us now in an exclusive interview. the 96 billion-dollar man, irwin gottlieb. welcome to fox a pleasure to have you here. >> thank you. adam: the whole idea how we advertising is changing. let me start with something. tv model dead because it gets 60 cents to the dollar and will it be replaced by digital or both? >> the tv model is certainly not
1:33 pm
dead. people have been talking about the death of television as long as any of us have been around, right? in fact it is flourishing. it will not be called television eventually. it will be video. because you will consume it on lots of devices. we're already treating it that way. there was a time when we referred to television as network broadcasts, right? then we started calling it national broadcasts because cable and syndication were part of the scene. now we just call it video. cheryl: but you know what, irwin? it doesn't seem like the money is flowing into mobile like you think it would be at this point. still if you look at spending on tv and radio, that is where the chunk of madison avenue, i say that with quotations because it is not there anymore but that is where they're putting biggest amount of spending on a doll letter per dollar basis. why is that? >> it is really simple. if you come around and look at it from a supply and demand equation standpoint, there is
1:34 pm
perversity to way supply and demand equation works, right? if you're hugely successful and your supply grows massively you can't monetize it because demand never catches up. why does demand never catches up? because your cost per unit, cost per impression continues to fall. we don't allocate dollars. we allocate the dollars needed to achieve an objective. and if the cost of achieving that objective is falling because the cost per impression is falling, then the allocation doesn't go up. we get it done with less money. adam: help us understand, there is a migration of people from wall street, people will be watching this, to ad firms or media buy firms and, for instance, the $96 billion that your firm is responsible for -- >> that is inflated by the way. if we paid rate card for everything, it might be 96 billion but somewhat less than that. adam: the digital portion of that though is growing. it is in the billions. it is not double digits yet but it is on its way. how is that going to change? and this concept of using
1:35 pm
computers to figure out how to target, fingerprints, i'm a -- for instance, i'm a specific target, chairman is a different target, delivering an ad to her mobile phone and my mobile phone? >> there are multiple questions there. let me break them up into smaller segments. number one i think stocks and bonds, equities and bonds, are a very, very poornal by for media inventory. why? media inventory expires. stocks, quick its and bond don't, okay? adam: right. >> number two, there is a known price for an equity. the price for a digital equity is a function of the data you have, juxtaposed against the media opportunity. that is highly variable, right? so, there is no analogy there. the people from wall street who are coming over to our side of the business aren't coming over as traders. they're coming over as entrepreneurs. they're not very many of them, are not building what we would consider to be sustainable
1:36 pm
businesses because they're focused on the top line, not the bottom line. they may not even have a bottom line. cheryl: right. that is criticism, well that criticism is going against those in silicon valley as well. that these young entrepreneurs are not looking for actually a true business model. just quick return, make a buck. >> it is about the exit strategy. cheryl: right. >> and quite frankly the extreme market valuation metrics are encouraging that behavior. cheryl: you have been a proponent of implantable advertising. which is a frightening -- >> no, no, no. cheryl: my google contacts will stream ads to me while i'm trying to walk doesn't street? >> so, i made a prediction about a year ago, that wearable devices are just the first stage and that in fact, those devices will one day be integrated. i specifically chose not to use the word, implantable because that scares people and perhaps
1:37 pm
integrated devices is a little more comforting. but having said that, the point of that comment was, we will be exposed to media during our entire waking period and we will be multitasking because we'll be watching one screen. we'll have, a screen that's sort of built in somewhere, sort of, if you look at google glass, that does that today, right? it is about the evolution of how we consume. 10 years ago, we had newspapers, we had books and we had television and we had computers. today we have tablet, we have mobile phones. we have wearables. that evolution is just going to accelerate. it is not going to sop. adam: each one of them a platform which advertisers can penetrate. >> we better understand them and know about them and know how to communicate through them and know how to trade. adam: irwin gottlieb, we would love to have you back. five minutes does not cover it. thanks for joining us. cheryl: fascinating.

1:50 pm
trailing benchmark barclays aggragate index by 75 basis points. the fund is underweight on u.s. investment great corporate bond and is getting the blame for that poor performance. pimco has been in the spotlight more than ever this year since ceo mohammed al airy yen announced his resignation, that is polite word for it with company's founder and cio, bill gross. cheryl: screaming on the floor at each other in front of other employees. there are three days left to sign up for obamacare and the white house is already celebrating despite being one million short of their projected enrollment. we have rich edson live from d.c. with all the details. here we go, rich. >> cheryl, the white house claims a surge in sign-ups for private insurance under obamacare. the administration says more than six million have selected right insurance plans through government exchanges, right at the revised congressional budget office projection. cbo dropped a million off its
1:51 pm
