margie, what's your version of how you think the fed will start to rein it in? there's a belief that maybe they'll just hang on to those bonds and let them mature. is that how it should go, or what do you think they should do? >> i think market forces will determine where interest rates will go. i don't think the fed will be able to steer the boat and steer through to the kind of rate level they want. but i think the dollar is so attractive, fundamentally, our banking system, the wealth in this country, that i think that will help to keep rates low naturally, because it won't be able to undo, unless they cause market disruption. and that's what rick's always talking about. the market disruption when you exit from this fed strategy, we really don't know what to expect. that's why you have to be very, very careful and watch what's happening. >> a couple seconds left. let's make this meeting full to investors. michael, i know you're buying dividend payers. tim leach, what are you buying right now? >> we've shifted, bill, from long only to a mix of long managers and

margie and al are back with us. liz?makes you think state officials are thinking what can we tax next? it's like the train of thought there is making all local stops. let's see what else we can tax. by the way, you're probably going to need more wiewr accurates to -- bureaucrats to collect that e-mail tax. so this is sneaky, and the real danger for taxpayers when they enact these taxes is that they say, listen, we're going to replace the income tax, lower the income tax, the sneaky danger is those taxes stay in place, and income tax either goes up or goes back. if they try to abolish it. charles: and we've seen this kind of stuff before. you know, margie, this sort of hints at this entitlement cull chair that we must have a post office, x amount of branches, and it must lose $5 billion a year and someone's got to pay for it. this is absolutely nuts. >> well, it's just one city council per's plan. i mean, look, i don't think you're going to see a groundswell of support for an e-mail tax. i would have to sell some of my sh

joining me now are mia malika-henderson and margie omar ra.nk you for your time. >> malika, what's behind this on assault weapons? why did it happen? i'm not sure i agree with this. >> yeah. i think you heard senator reid say it when he said he wants something to succeed. the assault weapons ban in some ways was a poison pill. if that was added to this bill, it's likely that it would go down to defeat. it's likely that many democrats, especially democrats in red states, would not support this bill. remember, the president in his state of the union address, over and over again, he said that what he wanted for those kids slain in newtown and pendleton, all those other people killed by gun violence, to at least get a vote. bring a bill o tto the floor an get a vote. that looks like what will happen. there's still some disagreement about what will be the main focus of the bill. will it be gun trafficking or will it be background checks. but the white house is certainly pleased that there is movement on this. and i don't think the white house is su

yes, it's happened, but it hasn't happened much. >> margie, are they both right?jeb bush normally is a thought leader among republicans. i'm not sure this comment was really smart because it allows us to relitigate which candidate ran a divisive campaign and which one ran a unified campa n campaign. voters have made their decision and you could see that in jeb bush's own comments. when pressed further he said, well, he has this us versus them and, you know, it's the wealthy versus everyone else. so he's criticizing obama for being, in jeb bush's words, of the 98% when you had by comparison mitt romney who was discounting about half of the electorate, both in private comments and his comments after the election. even a week or so ago when he did his fox news interview. and i think the other thing that i think is important to note is where the american people say -- what they say right now. right now according to the last nbc poll, half of americans say that obama is unifying the country. two-thirds of americans say that republicans are much more divisive and have a

margie o'mara is democratic pollster for purple strategies. margie, what's the challenge here for people who believe in choice, abortion rights? what is up when a state goes for something like six weeks as opposed to 22 weeks. they're not testing the margins here. this isn't looking for a close decision. they are radically trying to outlaw abortion through other means. >> this is politics. a political power grab. there are two words missing. women and families. this is not about understanding women or reaching out to women. this is about a political statement only. six weeks is so -- >> aren't there any women in these legislatures that raise their hand and say this isn't right? >> there must be. but, you know, here's what's so extreme about six weeks. you could be trying to get pregnant and still not know at six weeks. that's how early it is. it is deliberately early. and the rest of the bill is also designed to shut down the one service provider. so what it does -- >> in north dakota. >> in north dakota. what it does, it puts those bills -- 1

are a cashin in crew, wayne rogers and jonathan honig and tracy burns and margie, welcome everybody. congress can't find $85 billion in spending cuts, how about cutting this. $45 billion in unused government coffers. $68 billion beale doled out on studying fish and what they can teach us about democracy. creating videos showing grill sergeants shows off their recipes. jonathan is this what d.c. should have been targeting all along? >> the role have government is clear. it's limited and defined by the constitution. in ours it's full of waste. chock-full of worthless spending. it's exercises and videos about grilling and studies on this and that. senator coburn, would pay workers that don't even work for taxpayers. and even now neither party is serious about cutting the size and scope of government. >> eric: $156 million to not work. federal employees to stay home. >> my gosh, it's embarrassing. i got coburn's report here. you can get it. it's hundred pages -- hundred items of waste. another bridge to nowhere, 520,000 in ohio. we got fighting obesity with giant graffiti carrots. i mean

could those earnings and that healthy situation continue, margie? >> yes, i think it can.nies maintain those historically high profit margins because they change the way they operate to be much more flexible, much more global in their businesses and also the cash flow just from existing assets is so high. he have they the power to increase their dividends, very substantially from current levels. ashley: very good indeed. margie patel as always. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. >> thanks. tracy: all right. they had a very public battle over the federal budget including during the presidential campaign and now president obama and former republican vp candidate paul ryan are actually meeting face-to-face over lunch. duck. ashley: no throwing. tracy: senior washington correspondent peter barnes is live from the white house with the details. peter, ashley definitely thought there would be a food fight. >> [laughter]. well we're, i don't know if we get a readout on the lunch as they say, but, you know, yes.

ma margie potel is with us, former yankee center fielder bernie williams -- i'm just kidding, bernie. like you've never heard that before. and our own rick santelli as well. nathan backrack, for you, this market is all about cash and congress, isn't it? >> yeah, the two cs. i don't know where the cash is coming from yet, bill. and the problem is, when you look at brokerage accounts, they pretty much tap themselves out. so until we see a great rotation or as long as people keep draining their savings accounts, i don't know where the cash is coming from. and as long as congress doesn't get themselves in the headlines, they that seem to enjoy it. >> but would a budget agreement help this market? they are talking and they were talking on capitol hill today. >> oh, without question. it would be just what the world needed, along with some cash. look, we've got utilities selling more expensively than we have technology. i'm sorry, when was the last time that a tech company was not considered a growth company but utilities were? so i think the rotation era is going to be in growth stocks. the

margie omero, and nathan gonzalez.of an extraordinary week, trying to do something he hasn't done, going directly to the rank and file. legacy in mind? or is this the only way to get something done? >> legacy is probably always on his mind, but yo-yo know that it will work. he showed a willingness to not necessarily have the entire party behind him, but these are almost more photo o period of time s, and might be good for softening the president's image, but functionial and getting something doing? yo-i don't know. still ultimately, if republicans want to -- the only entity that was net negative -- that is just getting worse, it hasn't gotten better, they need to country to the table -- >> does an invitation from the president help? >> nobody's buys that, the sequester, so i think this is, hey, maybe i better look more statesman like. >>> plugs are out. >> catholic university partnership with yours truly on clemency. congratulations to all of us. >> check that out. >> a post up at-ton post on the mar and how we shouldn

. >> margie, explain the political strategy, though.e are now racing toward a potential government shutdown. there is the continuing resolution that will most likely make its way through the house to keep defense funding going. meanwhile, if republicans do want to choke off any forward motion for the president, isn't shutting down the government at the end of the month the best way to do it? >> well, it's certainly not going to help their position. remember, this is a congress that continues to have record low approval rating. voters continue to blame republicans more than the president for each new crisis that we have. and it's costing at the ballot box, it cost them at the polls and in the polls. it's not a good political strategy and it's a terrible strategy policy. if you look at what sequester cuts would do, if you look at what shotting the government would do, for almost a million women, mowers and children, we're talking about baby formula and newborns that are now going to suffer as a result of this brinksmanship in washington.
