more cool moments with pope francis. and as we prep for game six, fans are paying insane amounts of money for the possibility of the red sox clinching at home for the first time in 95 years. details on how much coming up on this wednesday edition of "way too early". good morning, everybody. october 30th, day before halloween. speaking of the sox, we'll have pretty cool facts about what was happening 95 years ago. and then in the cooler, we will hop or the jonas brothers as only "way too early" can. but we begin with the affordable care agent. later take, hhs secretary kathleen sebelius will testify on capitol hill. she's expected to blame contractors for the troubles with healthcare.gov saying they did did not meet expectations. however, late last night,

darrell issa released documents showing one of the primary obama care contractors warned the government agency there was not enough time to adequately test the website. yesterday marilyn tavenner testified and several republican lawmakers expressed concern for existing policyholders who are losing their health care coverage. >> i want to apologize to you that the website has not worked as well as it should. we know how desperately you need affordable coverage. i want to assure that you healthcare.gov can and will be fixed and we are working around the clock to deliver the shopping experience that you tee serve. >> based on what little information the admin station has disclosed, it ourns out that more people have received cancelation notices for their health care plans this month than have enrolled in the exchan exchanges. >> my constituents are frightened. they are being forced out of the health care plan that they like. the clock is ticking on the

website that is broken. their health care isn't a glitch. >> president obama will be in boston, massachusetts today to speak about the affordable care act. reportedly he'll use the massachusetts health care law as an example of how obama care can succeed. if recent revelations about the extent of the nsa spying abroad were meant to shame the country, it didn't work. director of national intelligence james clapper saying the u.s. had spied on foreign leaders for years. he says those countries have returned the favor drawing a cinematic comparison. >> do you believe the allies have conducted or at anytime any type of espionage activity against the united states of america our intel against services or others? >> absolutely. it reminds me of casablanca. my god, there is gambling going

on here? same kind of thing. >> on what ground? >> i'm shocked to find gambling is going on in here. >> your winnings, sir. >> thank you very much. everybody out. >> a great scene. without giving specifics, clapper suggested the overseas operations shouldn't have come as a surprise to the white house. meanwhile, nsa director keith alexander flatly denied reports that the u.s. had collected data from millions of phone calls in france and spain. he says the information was not taken from citizens but from europe's own foreign service agencies to be used in support of military operations. the "wall street journal" reports this morning that the g data was furnished by european intelligence services and not collected by the nsa. the revolution puts european leaders who have cried foul in a pretty precarious spot. meanwhile president obama reportedly ordering the nsa to stop eavesdropping at the united nations in new york.

i remember '07, we hit these new highs. doesn't seem like we're getting this sort of enthusiasm for it. so what's the feeling like and why? >> i'll tell you one reason why. because too many people haven't been invested in this rightly. we've had 24% to the up side on the s&p so far this year and they're thinking i'm worried, i better own some of it or my investors will say why did i miss out. but as you say, the enthusiasm is tempered. for instance only 52.5% of companies reporting in this earnings season are actually beating expectations on revenue. on revenue itself, sales only about half are beating expectations. so the numbers in sales are pretty average. data is not that great. but everyone is thinking no tapering and so moving to the the up side. >> what about s.a.c. settlement? >> right. this investigation has been going on pretty much the whole time you were at cnbc almost.

the best part of seven years under some form of investigation. according to reuters, the wall street journal saying we could be close to a settlement, it could be around about a billion dollars forfeiting future profits, and some admission of guilt from steven cohen's group, as well. various other reports say he's been lessening on some of his own private assets to get ready for the settlement. >> going back to the consensus here in the states was the auto bailout was a wild success, but it terms out the government losing a lot of money over the fwch gm bailout. >> they bought 61% of general motors. according to the latest quarterly report, $9.7 billion loss has been booked so far and they only have about 7.3% left which is equivalent to $101.3 million shares left. coincidently, the company is due

to report numbers. europe once again, that's where we're looking because they have had loss after loss. >> i guess they can hold on to the shares for a longer period of time, but no one seems to want it. steve, thank you very much. moving on to other news, growing claims of racial profiling at new york city retailers have prompted the state's attorney general to demand the sotores hand over shp and frisk policies. a number of african-american customers say they have been stopped and questioned at macy's and barney's. among them, actor rob brown who is suing. he told the daily news he was detained in june after he bought a watch for his mom. after investigating macy's says it determined the nypd stopped him and nypd says they were acting on information from store security. this is an awesome story. pope francis, the main

attraction at the vatican as he always is, but there was a little boy who actually stole the show. the young child basically just wandered on the stage as the pope was speaking to a group of families. watch what happened. the cardinals tried to get him off the stage, but he decided not to and he went up and gives him a hug on his leg and the pope just in a comfortable friendly way puts his happened on his head. now, you want to see another adorable moment, what does he do some it shows the boy sat in the pope's seat. taking a little breather. a lifetime memory that he will one day be embarrassed about i'm sure at a christmas dinner. but the pope handled it amazingly well. still ahead, the red sox have been riding david ortiz throughout the playoffs, but can the cards find a way to avoid the slugger and force game seven. and jonas brothers fans and anyone following pop culture are mourning the news that the jonas brothers are breaking up.
