good evening, tom. >> hi, larry.the words for the centers for disease control as many as 13,000 people across the country may have received one of these contaminated steroid injections coming from this one company up in new england. now they're trying to figure out who may have gotten one of these injections and get the word out for them to follow-up with doctors as soon as possible. 23 states in total received shipments from the new england compounding center. 105 confirmed cases as of now, 8 confirmed deaths, and most of those or at least a good number of them are in tennessee where they have four deaths. the focus, again, is on this company out of new england, the new england compounding center, which investigators now believe was producing a contaminated version of a steroid that has now gone across the country at least 17,000 different shipments, if you will, across the country. larry, back to you. >> all right. many thanks. nbc's tom costello. up next, mitt romney unveils his foreign policy strategy with strong

(laughter) larry wilmore, everybody. we'll be right >> jon: on november 6, americans will go to the polls to choose either barack obama or milton romney as our next president. (laughter) but what if-- what if-- it had been cain? (laughter) john oliver has more in this continuing series. >> in october of 2011, herman cain led the polls for the republican presidential nomination. tragically, america was denied a herman cain presidency, but recently i sat down with mr. cain for a series of conversations to explore some of the tough decisions he would have faced in office. tonight, china. >> we currently owe chi

i'm larry kudlow. this is "the kudlow report." top story tonight, for the first time, president obama admits he was a disaster at the debate. take a listen to what he told abc's diane sawyer that's airing just minutes ago. >> governor romney had a good night. i had a bad night. it's not -- >> bad? >> it's not the first time i've had a bad night. >> they chant "four more years." and today, there are 28 days before the election. i think the right chant ought to be for them "four more weeks." you've got the idea. >> there you have it. also this evening, for the first time in months, the market hit a back-to-back triple-digit decline. we warned you last night earnings might give the market a little bit of a hit. go ahead, boys. take some chips off the table. nothing wrong with that. but let me tell you, a political revolution is coming in 27 days. and for the first time here on "the kudlow report," i feel comfortable to tell you, mitt romney is going to win and he's going to win big. it's going to be a rea

i'm larry kudlow. this is "the kudlow report." we begin tonight with this. how in the world can the president and the secretary of defense leon panetta, knowing we were being attacked in benghazi, not send heavy firepower to save the lives of the men? we know tonight that the white house, the state department, and the defense department all new in real time about that attack. meetings were held. nothing was done. instead, four good men died. and still today the white house is sticking to their cover story. we are doing this because it stands to the credibility of our national security and that of the administration. and this evening a new timeline has emerged from e-mails sent from the state department to top national security officials, including the white house situation room, begging for help. nbc's mike viquera takes us through the chain of events. >> a series of e-mails sent from the state department to officials here, sent in real-time as the assault on that compound in benghazi was unfolding, sh

they announce larry page will be on the call.icipate what analysts will ask, it will be how can you not telegraph there were bigger problems than the street was expecting from motorola mobility? they acquired that company as a patent mine. they thought they would mine the patents and get hardware for a phone, is that right, adam. >> that's right. there will be a lot of questions about motorola. at the end of the day google has gotten into a huge fight with apple because of their plans regarding android operating system and their movement into mobile delivery devices. they see it as their future. there is pain right now. pcs will in the ever go away but pcs are getting behind us. pcs are the past. google has to make the move some analysts believe towards motorola. they have to take less money for a click or view on advertising page when you're on your cell phone. these are the kinds of things you're going to hear larry page saying. we have to do now as to grow the company forward. david: $527 million operating loss, motorola is al

i'm larry kudlow. this is "the kudlow report." team obama doing a victory lap, rejoicing over the 7.8% victory lap. my guest, jack welch, is questioning whether the numbers were cooked to help president obama. mr. welch will respond live and talk to me in a moment. this whole thing comes as the romney roll continues. scott rasmussen has three polls showing a dead heat in battle ground states, hai, virginia, florida. even the liberal magazine "the new yorker" sees it on their front cover, mitt romney pulling a clint eastwood, debating an empty chair. first up, it was the tweet that was heard around the world. my good friend jack welch set off a social media firestorm. take a look at his tweet. "unbelievable jobs numbers. these chicago guys will do anything. can't debate so change numbers, end quote. he's chase by accusing the white house of skewing the data to help president obama. earlier on cnbc, u.s. labor secretary fired back with this response. please take a listen. >> these are our best trained an

i'm here with larry ellison.ioned one deal that has yet to be proven according to the shareholders. it's sun microsystems. you've said this business, this hardware business is going to grow. what's been the problem with sun? >> well, we have two hardware businesses. we have a hardware business we care about. kind of our new generation of hardware and software engineered to work together. that's growing at more than 100%. but then we have another hardware business, kind of the old commodity x-86 business, which is taking microprocessors. that business is shrinking. so we got two things going on. we've got this old sun business of selling commodity hardware, which is disappearing, which we don't care about at all. our new business of selling engineered systems, which is more than doubling. the old business is shrinking slightly faster than the new business is growing. but those two lines will cross at end of this fiscal year, and we'll get very rapid growth because the bulk of our business will be engineered system

i'm larry kudlow. this is a special edition of "the kudlow report." you're looking at a live picture of the university of denver. 8:00 p.m. eastern, president obama and mitt romney will face off in their first of three debates. we have an all star panel tonight. former congressman rick lazio and former clinton white house aide keith boykin. and herman cain tells us what it's like to debate kevin madden. it's all about leadership and leadership means taking control of the conversation. that's just my advice. in an anemic overall economy, we've seen some positives in recent days. the ism services surprised on the up side today, 15 million car sales yesterday and of course stocks have been rising since a year ago today. the s&p is up 32%. so things can't be all that bad. how will the investor class vote in 34 days? but first up, both mitt romney and president obama are in their respective hotel rooms now. they're making final preparations for the big debate and cnbc's own john harwood joins us live with t

and i'm with you, larry. i think this is a buying opportunity here. >> well, i'm glad to hear that because you know more about it than i do. steve weiss, welcome back to the program. >> thanks, larry. >> i just want to go -- look, for the week stocks were up a wee bit. for the week. okay? i like that. not the nasdaq and the technology sector. but when you look down the list of these stocks, and here's where i'm going, because i don't think our economy is getting worse at all. in fact, with housing our economy may be getting a little better. all right. commodities are up. financials and banks are up. energy was up. consumer cyclicals are up. industrials are up. those are all pro-growth sectors that were up on the week. so i just can't see a catastrophe here. >> well, first of all, technology companies are stocks, too. you can't ignore them. and i would tell you that industrials and commodities, while they may be up, some were actually down pretty significantly off their highs and staying there. take a look at

larry? >> i think a lot of americans are very angry at these events around our consulate and benghazi. i think that's what these tweets are showing. >> it sounds like it. >> yeah, thank you very much for helping. a lot of anger out there, and my guess is it's democrats and republicans who are angry because of the loss of life and the bad way this was handled. anyway, a news alert. once again a u.s. embassy did come under attack today, this time in yemen. a security investor was shot and killed by masked men on a motorcycle. meanwhile, the benghazi gate scandal growing deeper tonight. here's what we know. the administration denied additional security to the american consulate in libya. they denied the security request, and the white house apparently lied to the american people about what really happened, and take a listen to this shocking statement from obama's wacky deputy campaign manager today. >> had we had any different information, we would have put it out. we would have told the americ

i'm larry kudlow. this i is "the kudlow report." you're looking at live pictures from lynn university in boca raton, florida, where in two hours president obama and mitt romney will square off in their third and final debate. two weeks until election day, and polls showing continued romney momentum. could this be obama's last stand? the terrorist attack on our embassy in benghazi will be one of the phonus points of the debate. joining us now from the debate site, ace reporter cnbc contributor robert costa, "national review." robert, what is team romney telling you about tonight? >> reporter: team romney is very optimistic about tonight, but they know it will be a break-even debate. this is president obama's best subject, foreign policy, romney is a governor and businessman, not his wheelhouse, but he's been well prepared for this debate and expect him to come out firing at the president's record, especially on libya. >> okay. let's pursue that. is he going to go right after benghazigate, go right after it picking up where he left of

we'll have more with larry in a moment, but at the top of the hour the other larry, larry fink from blackrock, he'll talk about the chances of a first quarter recession and the looming fiscal cliff. from 17 billion chips worldwide to a world of super-connected intelligence. the potential of freescale unlocked. nyse euronext. unlocking the world's potential. to investing with knowledge. the potential of td ameritrade unlocked. nyse euronext. unlocking the world's potential. >>> let's look at the futures right now which are not -- it's a little better than it was there, down over 80 before, down about 75 points. that's less than a percentage point, about 0.6% that we see if it opened up there. we funlely had a positive session, but we're at 135, 131 and headed lower today. comcast is out with quarterly results. the company earned 46 cents a share excludeing certain items, and the company added 294,000 new voice, video, and high speed internet customers up 28.1% a year ago. were you one of those? >> yes, she added. >> no? >> she's going to help us next quarter. >>> we're back with our guest host

let's bring in larry, he's a shareholder in google. larry, welcome to the show. it's good to have you here. >> hi, scott. give us the shareholder's perspective? >> i think the key thing here that you miss in the dialogue is how google eats. google eats by collecting ad dollars. you take on income reported a couple weeks ago, they're unit growth was 4%. here's a company that eats by collecting ad dollars and was growing 23%. and roughly five times the growth of the market. if you look at what the ad market's going to grow over the next five years and you take the projections of google and facebook, they take all of the growth. you take that growth 37% even margin, and i can buy it at a 10% multiple premium to disney. maybe a 15% multiple premium to time warner. i think it's a no-brainer. you have all this tech discussion. and the tech discussion is missing the way the company eats. and if that's not good enough, you have an 80% conversion of ebitda to cashflow. >> i'm glad you went there. yes, that's the way the company eats, but they've taken it on themselves to

evening. >> good evening, larry. the fbi and federal prosecutors have launched a investigation of jesse jackson, jr., this time for possible misuse of funds monitored by congress, that according to nbc news. jackson has been on medical leave since june. >>> and it's official again. the treasury today became the latest to confirm the government deficit topped $1 trillion once again. the treasury says the deficit was roughly 7% of gdp and, larry, the nobel peace prize goes to the eu. the nobel committee gave the prize to the european union acknowledging the 27 blocks advancement and a peace and reconciliation and i know a lot of people think this is ridiculous, but when you think about the history there and the fact that these countries 100 years ago and what they're doing is hard, maybe it's a reminder. >> they should have given them to them 70 years ago and this is the wrong time and i'll talk about that with my pal jimmy pathkuke as. >> my only personal view is it's a ridiculous thing so i've asked cnbc contributor

here's larry page right now. let's listen to what he's saying. >> here you go, larry. >> thank you. hello, everyone. thanks for joining us. it's great to be on the call today and to share our progress since we last spoke six months ago. as you can hear, my voice is still hoarse. i'll keep my remarks reasonably short. i'm sorry for the scramble earlier today. as our printers have said, they had sent the release just a bit early. we had a strong quarter. i'm really happy with our business. revenue was up 45% year on year and at just 14 years old, we cleared our first $14 billion revenue quarter. not bad for a teenager. today we live in the world of abundance. abundant information and abundant computing. most of us carry at least one device all the time every day. in fact, many of us feel naked without our smart phone. mobile commerce and mobile search queries are growing dramatically across the world. when we use these devices interchangeably, depending on our situation. i switch between my nexus phone, my nexus 7 tablet and my new chrome book we just announced today many times every

i'm larry kudlow. this is the kudlow report. a killer storm takes aim on the eastern seaboard. weather channel bryan norcross has more. >> i'm hurricane specialist bryan norcross from the weather channel. hurricane sandy is still expected to move north and form into a combination hurricane nor'easter and be a massive storm with massive impacts across the northeastern and mid-atlantic parts of the u.s. i'll have the story from the weather channel in just a few minutes. >> all right thanks very much. but first up, the cia is denying a report that it refused to help its operatives on the ground the night of the benghazi attack. cnbc eamon javers has more on this one. good evening. >> reporter: good evening. the cia is pushing back aggressively against these media reports. let me bring you what the cia is saying this evening. they say we can say with confident that the agency reacted quickly to aide our colleagues during that terrible evening in benghazi. moreover no one at any level in the cia told anybod

>> sure, it's all about the tunnels, larry. it's about getting the water pumped out of the tunnels, and it's a brackish water. there's salt water in it. we have the make sure that we get the water out. we have to make sure the systems are working. but we're pretty optoptimistic. there were people hunched over tables with pens and paper and charts trying to figure out how we can make this happen. once we have a plan for service to and from new york city from boston down and from washington up, we'll certainly announce it sometime tomorrow. >> so when you say friday, that's only partial service, it's regionals that so many take in order to get down to washington, especially because laguardia isn't available right now so you can't take the shuttle either. when you say friday, what does that mean? >> well, we're looking at different mixes of equipment. some people who might be expecting to get on a regional train will wind up on a southern train. it won't be the full range of services or northeast regionals, but we'll put as much s

larry, what are you looking at tonight? >> mitt romney floats and idea to cap keyductions across the board. we set up our own debate. those are the topics we are going to tackle. and this evening. listen to vice president joe biden on the trail. it is the gift that keeps on giving. >> how they can justify. raising taxes in the middle class. it has been buried in the last four years. how in the lord's name. >> that is nodt a froidian slip. plus three stories that happen to break before the election. a leftist new york attorneyy general looking to bash banks and that is as phony as a $3 bill. also a judge strikes down pennsylvania's voter id law and the obama administration is telling companies it is okay to disregard the law when it comes to handing out pink slips in advance to big budget cuts. all three happening before the election. mitt romney has finally put meat on the bones of his tax reform idea. he floated the idea of a $17,000 cap on tax reform reduction. >> you could say everyone is going to get up to a $17,000 ded

larry and jessica are with us once again.st one is about getting funding. >> when a business owner or venture capitalist is considering a major financial outlay, do you tend to go more with your gut or more with the data? which one do you lead off with? >> this is what you do, larry. so your gut or data? >> it start with my gut. if i'm interested in the company after a first meeting, i don't have much data to go off of. but it is something you have seen that gets you interested. but to get invested into the company, there is a lot of data. so it start with gut, ends with data. >> and also starts with relationship. you've gotten funding a lot of times. >> yes. i agree with larry. it also depends on the stage of the business. if it is new, you are backing the person. the data you have will change. you have to rely on your gut level people instincts. as the business proves out, it is about looking at the key metrics to look in the next level, put in the next round of funding, and that's very much in looking at the numbers and co

>> i don't know why larry is screaming at everybody. i mean, look, the numbers here yesterday and the job numbers are very, very good, falling to below 8%, a good sign and vindication that the economic recovery is working, secondly, i think the fact that many businesses want to hold their fire until after the election is reasonable, because what businesses say more than anything else, two things they want to see is one, the partisan infighting stop and they want to see the parties come together to see what's done for the american people and two things that people are worried about aren't taxes, it's the lack of people buying something. >> most people believe, most political experts believe obama is going to win with this and with a decisive mandate and the way the electoral college, that they have to work with obama rather than be obstructionist and on taxes, nobody wants to see anyone's taxes go up. but at the end of the day, when it comes time to cutting the debt. if you don't touch bush tax cuts for 1%, then you have the middle class

site saying that rare larry's q goes here. i looked at google's site itself which is where they normally release these results when they intend to. didn't see anything on their investor relations site, though it is possible they put something up for a moment, then pulled it down. i'm not sure but it looks like an error that happened through the s.e.c. couple things to point out here. as far as google revenues go, i am noticing comparing to a number of analysts expectations where these revenues fell short, particularly google sites -- that's google's own sites where they expect to collect advertising revenues there. google sites generated $7.73 billion. a number of analysts expected more than $8 billion. well over $8 billion of revenue there. also when it comes to motorola mobility, the consensus in the hardware revenue there was $2.9 billion. motorola did $2.58 billion in revenue. so there are also a lot of costs associated with integrating motorola's business. when i spoke to google executives just several weeks ago, they sai
