[laughter] >> every night, charlesd you hear the s&p 500. so where do you think the money's going? if you look at -- charles: what money? >> the money that's coming from the federal reserve into -- charles: can you walk us true that? >> yeah. charles: the fed buys mortgage backed securities, how does that money end up in the stock market? >> their buying through the banking system because the banks are holding a lot of debt on their books that they need to get rid of. a lot of that's nonperforming too. so the federal reserve creates these dollars, and they buy the debt off the banks' balance sheet. is the bank lending the money? i don't see it happening. the parameters of getting a loan today are horrible. so the bank has the money. what are they going to do with it? are they just going to sit on it? they offer all these tier levels in banking that we don't get to see, so what are they doing? they're farming the money out to their best clients with the top credit rating and they're buying stocks, or the bank's buying t

charles krauthammer. charles? >> to hear representative johnson you would think that these are scare tactics which generally means being afraid or pretending to be afraid of something which isn't a problem. this is a huge problem, and bringing up target makes precisely the argument she doesn't want to make. target is in deep trouble precisely because of a security breach, and according to the experts, i mean, i'm not an expert, but i go by what they have told us who look into this, this system, which is open to everyone, millions apparently, have used it, is a gateway to irs, dhs, other agencies, and if that is not working in terms of security, then it's a disaster waiting to happen. you know, she says this is an attempt by republicans, opponents, to bring down obamacare. well, if there are problems of this magnitude, perhaps it ought to be brought down. number one, it -- it's got adverse selection. it's financially unstable. second, as we heard earlier in the show, there's no connection in the back rooms still between the healthcare.gov and the insurers, and lastly we have no idea who actually sen rolled 100 days in, and add on to that lack of security, you've got problems. >> by the way, on the target situation, there will be committee hearings on that, up on capitol hill, and the "wall street journal" is reporting just now, just crossing, that some of the code, the malicious computer code used in the effort to hack into target and get the credit card numbers was apparently written in russian, just crossing right now. >> how is that reset working out, secretary clinton? >> okay. a.b., what about all this? >> charlest. the target breach is the point. if the target breach hadn't happened and the administration was trying to convince the young and healthy and internet savvy people who have yet to enroll that it was safe to come on board and sort of, you know, campaign about how well the website is working, it is in their best interest to say that security is their top concern in light of the target breach and other hackings that consumers are learning about and how vulnerable they are to them. it is the very reason that they need to be saying security is our top concern, working around the clock to ensure that anyone who comes on the site, has their information protected and their security guaranteed. it is -- it is not -- it's not -- at this point insecure is like a little bit pregnant. any time you have an expert like that saying it's a little bit insecure, it's not 100% secure. >> he's not saying a little bit. he's saying a lot. >> he's saying you won't reach the back end and pay an insurer or yo

charles krauthammer. charles? >> well, listening to that excerpt from ed henry, you would think that's the campaign speech of someone running against barack obama. obama is indicting the four years, the five years he's been president. he said the rich have done well. everybody else has stalled. inequality has increased. the four years, the five years are his years. essentially, he's saying my job now is to undo what i have done in the five years of my presidency. it's hardly sort of a ringing call to arms. i'm sure they now have tested all of these words, inequality, opportunity, all this stuff, to see which ones resonate with the focus groups, but i don't think it's going to help him in any way. as for, you know, the agenda he has, if you heard what robert gibbs says, he's given up on being the great uniter, the charismatic president who would bring america together. and now he's simply trying to hang on for quite small achievements. which i think in his own eyes means that he's a failure. >> nina, to charlest about the president's economy and the past five years, starting the sixth year now, democrats today brought up a series of folks to talk about their troubles finding jobs. long-term unemployed. the purpose of which was to talk about unemployment benefits, but it ended up being people telling a string of stories. >> i spent all day on the computer applying to jobs, and i assure you, looking for a job is a full-time job itself. >> there used to be three or four or five resumes for an open position. there's now 3,000 or 4,000. >> i lost a job, a contract job where had for five days because of a contract issue. and since those five days, i have been unemployed since then. >> so i guess the purpose of it was to talk about unemployment benefits, but after the string of people, one after another, it was kind of telling about the state of the economy. >> and none of them were talking about inequality. they're talking about themselves, their need for jobs, they need for mobility for themselve

charles krauthammer. charles? >> i don't think the president is right about that. iran and russia have demonstrated that you can sway, you can change the course of the war without an invasion of the size and scope which we had in iraq. they have decisively altered the course of the war with weaponry, financial support, and essentially by keeping out all the powers. so i think this is sort of obama's explanation for syria. he says, i couldn't have done anything. i think he's quite wrong about that. and i suspect he knows that as well. but doesn't want to admit it. >> juan, on race, the president is quoted as saying, there's no doubt that there's some folks who just really dislike me, they don't like the idea of a black president. now, the flipside of it is that there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me, who give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because i'm a black president. your thought on that. >> i think that's probably right. the question would be whether or not he's speaking specifically about the recent downturn in his numbers. and it appears at first that's what he's talking about. if he's talking about the predicament he's in now, which i think is tied to the failure of the rollout of obamacare, then he's dilutional, but if he's talking about general terms, from the very start, he did not win the majority of the white vote in 2008, in '12, but he did win a substantial number of white votes, especially back in '08, a time of great enthusiasm for president obama. but he doesn't dismiss that. he simply says, if you look at the 90% support among blacks, high level of support even among hispanics and asians, it is tied into his race, and that's fairly forthcoming. to be frank with you, that wasn't the most forthcoming thing he said about race in his interview. he goes on to talk about battles with congress about entitlements and states rights, and he believes a lot of the antagonism on the right is tied to the state rights, which goes way back to arguments about segregation and whether the government has the right to intervene on behalf of the black racial minority. >> what struck you about the piece? >> how interesting it was. it was interestingly uninteresting. it's not david's thought. he threw 17,000 words at this project. the problem is the president is an open book who has been riding himself to us relentlessly for seven years now. he said at one point, presidents are inherently overexposed, maybe, but he's gone out of his way to be overexposed. we learned the kind of tea served on air force one. he has lots of hip-hop on his ipod, he really doesn't want to be like fillmore on franklin pierce. that's not new. then he throws some bromide out. social change is not a straight line. we knew that. then the really interesting part, and this is fun, he said, you know, there's really no appetite in this country for tax and transfer strategies for command and control top-down programs like the affordable care act. >> what about this line about marijuana? he says this. as has been well documented, i smoked pot as a kid, and i view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that i smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. i don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol. he goes on to say he wishes his two kids don't do it. but he says the state should go their own way essentially. and they are. >> they are. and even though the federal government still makes possession of wemarijuana a cri under the controlled substances act. the president is quite right, that the ravages brought by alcohol are far more than marijuana. now, marijuana may play catch-up once people start using it promiscuously because it can have cognitive effects on users, but so far, he's quite right. >> yeah, on the medical side, he's obviously right. anyone who has seen a sarrattic liver or a person in delirium tremens knows how devastating it is to all systems in the body, but that doesn't mean that marijuana is benign. the worst part about it is it makes you dull, it makes you dumb, and you think you're smart. so particularly if you're a young person, you wind up in a state where you don't learn and it probably stuns your intellectual development. you get slack, and i think overall, the question isn't, is it alcohol or marijuana? alcohol is here to stay. it's been in western civilization forever. so is it alcohol alone or alcohol and marijuana? if you add a second intoxicant, and i think we're doing it probably the right way, you know, they said the states are a laboratory of democracy, let's see how it works in colorado and washington state. let's measure over some years student achievement, traffic accidents and other indusies of what might be wrong with this, and we will learn something. but i mean, i didn't see him coming out in any radical way. he said what was obvious, it's not bad, but it's not a good idea. >> the front page, pot bowl. denver broncos and seahawks, washington and colorado. >> no one will remember the outcome. >> i think my colleagues have spoken well on this marijuana issue, but i wanted to pick up on something else that came to me as a surprise. you said it wasn't a very interesting interview, but i thought this was interesting. i had a sense that i never had before from the president of being defeated. that he felt like, you know what? i can't really make a big difference in this office. he spoke about the stream and being part of a stream in history, and you can't turn things around. he does say at one point, he says to his staff, we run the biggest organization, and most powerful organization in the world, but on the other hand, he speaks as if he's a man caught in the cog of a larger machine, and he's not able to make a difference. i thought, boy, that's not the obama that i heard in 2008. >> this is the one i really wanted to hit on before we wrapped up. about al qaeda. and these different groups of al qaeda. quote, the analogy we use around here sometimes, and i think is accurate, is if a jv team puts on a lakers uniform, that doesn't make them kobe bryant. he said. using this analogy. i think there's a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian. >> yeah, and al qaeda's flag is flying over a city in iraq now. i mean, i didn't understand the analogy, which seemed strained in the first place. but it was a year ago in the state of the union address the president said al qaeda is a shell of its former self. i don't think he'll repeat himself next week. >> the pains the administration has gone to differentiate between core al qaeda and all of these splinter groups, i mean, they might as well call it core al qaeda/kobe bryant. but it seems like it. >> it's not only an excuse to explain his way out of why he has failed on all these issues. it's also a demonstration, a shocking demonstration of his strategic shallowness. an example of it's not the lakers. the whole strategy of al qaeda as explained by zawahiri and bin laden is to establish regional and local insurge aenlss to attack the eric states who they saw as acting in the interest of the infidels, starting with saudi arabia. the whole idea was local insurgent aencies with a global perspective. i think obama still to this day after half a decade doesn't understand add all who we are and who he is up against in the war. >> i disagree with this. >> if you ask these experts, they say all these groups, no matter what you call them, lakers or whatever team they're playing for, they want to establish themselves throughout the midd east. >> fine, but it's now being called core al qaeda, what obama referred to as the lakers, attacked us on 9/11 and killed our people. most of these are involved, as obama said, as sectarian violence on a local level. that's terrorism, and there's no need to differentiate terrorism from terrorists, but to suggest they're the equkwiquivalent ofi lad laden. >> i think that's a republican argument to undercut his claim that he decimated al qaeda. >> it's a reflection of the reality that non-core al qaeda is as anti-american, anti-west as al qaeda is, and it is now the new al qaeda, having metastasized all the way from west africa to kabul. >> next up, another road block for chris christie. today we're going to play a little game which 4g lte map has the most coverage? this isn't real difficult... pretty obvious to me. test test. verizon's superfast 4g lte network is over three times larger than any other 4g lteetwork. now get one, two, or even three-hundred dollars off a new smartphone depending on the smartphone you trade in on america's largest, most reliable 4g lte network. that's powerful. verizon. now get a free lg g2, with a 13-megapixel camera. >>> she came and she made a direct threat to me. she came and when the lt. governor comes, pulls you aside in a parking lot and says that these two things are connected, i know it shouldn't be, but they are. and if you tell anyone, i will deny it. >> mayor zim member's version of our conversation in may of 2013 is not only full but is illogical and does not withstand scrutiny when all of the facts are are examined. any suggestion that sandy were tied to the approval of any project in new jersey is completely false. >> hoboken, new jersey mayor accuses the lt. governor under chris christie in new jersey withhold super storm sandy relief funds to push through a development program. >> important if true. and so far we have a democratic mayor saying the lt. governor, not the governor said this and that. it's important to understand chris christie was a prosecutor. prosecutors come from a culture of and prosper in a cull culture of coercion. that's why we have so many plea bargains now and so few trials. furthermore, politics is always transactional. do this for me and i will do this for you. vote for me and i will do this and that there is a thin line, blurry line where you finally go from legitimate transactions to coercions, not legitimate. and so far we have democrats coming out of the woodwork to say he has done these x, y, and z to me there is a lot of journalism yet to be investigating here. >> juan? >> i think that's the heart of the problem. i think it's nonstop now. it's open season on chris christie. i don't think that's theater chris christie but politics. as george just said, you have transactions in politics on a regular basis. is it the case that he was being a bully and threatening people? that's when you get over the line. and in this case, if what she said is true, that hoboken, a pretty big season that in need after hurricane sandy was denied funding, then that is abuse of office by the governor. but we don't know it. we just know the allegation, and, you know, it's like an open fire hydrant at this point. everybody is coming out. >> there is 64 more mayors to go potentially. they point to a tweet august 20th where the hoboken mayor says to be clear i'm very glad governor christie has been our governor. i'm not endorsing because of who he bobleggen's non-mayoral race. why would she do that if she was so threatened? >> look, a lot of this is going to be she'd said, she said. i remember on the night that christie had the press conference, i was saying here that the problem, assuming he told the truth about the bridge, which i still assume, that every democrat in the state was going to stand up and say i got bull idea. and in some cases, they are going to say to a level of corruption, i think george and juan are exactly right. politics is about carrots. this is a normal give and take. if you held lbj to this standard when he was in the senate, he never would have been the president because he would have been in jail already for all of the carrots and sticks he was offering. i think this is going to go on there will be endless investigation and that will slow him down, hamper him and that's a deliberate strategy of the democrats here. whether it's corrupt or not, it's going to be time-consuming. effort consuming, and it will create an image of him as a bully if not corrupt. >> bottom line a problem? >> it's a problem. it's a problem that casts christie as a strong leader in some people's eyes. >> that is it for the panel. but, stay tuned to witness the calmness and concentration needed to be a golf shop employee. plus, s.r. bing pulse highlights. >>> here are tonight's pulaski heights agreed with george interestingly uninteresting: he cannot make a big difference in his office. and both men and women strongly agreed with charlessident obama does not understand who we are up against in the war on terror. total votes tonight. 152,000. finally, check out this surveillance footage of a golf shop and how sur reason the workers can be when things go wrong. listen closely to the reaction. >> yeah. that paint job is about -- >> hi rahm. >> hey billy. >> thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report." fair, balanced and unafraid. greta goes "on the record" right now. >>> richard sherman plays for the seattle seahawks, but he just created a ton of bronchos fans. >> i'm the best one in the game. that's the result you are going to get. don't you ever talk about me. >> who was talking about you?

charles payne, looking get gambling games. connell: a lot of people talking about gambling, resort and casino industry. charles: looking at las vegas, a lot of these macau related companies and come down with the chinese stock market pulled back and this is the one i like. they are neck and neck. i like them a lot. there is a pullback, an opportunity. they report tomorrow so obviously there's kind anxiety but also i got to tell you estimates are moving hire very rapidly. everything looks like they should be, then a gap opens and you chase it but you also have this migration thing going with the lunar new year so over a one week period the population probably will sell 300%, they were talking about holding people back from coming in cell i think this is an amazing story with a lot of legs. dagen: what about the business outlook and las vegas? charlesit is a little bit better. some of the data in november and december were not bad for vegas so that could be a wild card if you will, sort of a cherry on top if all goes well. connell: if reports about floyd may weather are right he is personally boosting. charles: he always tweets his winnings, 60 grand and win but we don't hear from him. you didn't make any bets. connell: that is exactly right. a lot of people like that. connell: when i watch jeopardy. connell: i try to post the answers on twitter. i challenge bill hemmer because he told me a year ago he was better than me but i have not heard from him. dagen: why are you not on celebrity jeopardy? connell: look it up. charles: i really rock. i am pretty good. dagen: i am going to check you out. charles: say good bye. connell: from that to the new wristband that uses your heart beat, smart phones and all things in your life, chief executive officer behind that technology is standing by. dagen: some college athletes are taking steps t

charles will make us something money with chart industries. never heard of it. charles: i recommended it on your show on march 4th. take profits in may and then said march. stuart: you think i got memory at my age? charleses: we took profits but it pulled back and now is a chance to get in and i think we will do okay. this company is doing well. they do all sorts of the liquid natural gas part from the liquidation distribution to fueling stations. big contracts from china, japan is opening up a huge business. i see it doing very well. last time they reported the markets were down a little bit. is a temporary flip and i think people should use this weakness under $100 to accumulate a position. stuart: you told people to buy it in march when it was down. last year in march. then it ran up to $200 a share a you say take profits and sell it and take money off the table. now is down to the $90 level and you say to buy it again. charles: pounding the table january 2nd. stuart: yesterday, january 1st, recreational use of marijuana officially illegal fully in colorado so does not legalization of pots create an investment opportunity for you and i? filleted dayton is e o of are you group, for more on this. i wan

charles: a new high. stuart: huge. charles: we compared this to mcdonald's. stuart: yes, we did. charlesthe time because it's disruptive and innovative. we have disruption and innovation in every part of our life, they have been around. and the same-store sales are up 9%, it's not cheap, but they make a product people want. stuart: not cheap. charles: again, it's phenomenal stuff and phenomenal news and what we're seeing this earnings period is not necessarily bad news, bad earnings, good earnings. companies that operate well like chipotle rewarded and the quasi parent, mcdonald's is not being rewarded. stuart: uba is facing a lawsuit after a 6-year-old girl was hit by a uba driver. the lawsuit states the u.s. of the on-line app goes against the california's distracted driver's law. and joining us, joseph. welcome to the program. how your app, how ride scout works. as i understand it it, i get your app on my smart phone here and saying i'm going from here there to and your app tells me which is the best net-based taxi service to get me from here to there. that's what you do, i think? >>

charles minister. >> thank you. charles minister, a member of the senior and disability action. i would like to second what the sister said earlier about the obvious cost and the necessity of this. i don't hear a dime being spent for new transit vehicles. i use the 38 and my wife uses the 38 everyday. the biggest problem i find on the line is that in rush hours there are not enough seats in the front to take care of the disabled people. as a senior i have to vacate the seat to move to the rear of the bus. this is for the downtown interest where they are the retail giants to get the workers downtown quicker pure and simple and get those shoppers downtown pure and simple. this is unconscionable to spend so much on this project. you have people as we've heard earlier here disabled people living on the streets. we are going to spend $240 million to make the buses go downtown faster. we need more buses on that line so people can have a seat especially the disabled people. sometimes you get two wheelchairs on a bus and a third wheelchair can't get on the bus and they eliminate a lot o

charles payne, make us some money with robotic surgery. charles: we talked about my losers and this was on the list, hang in there. this is still the $700 stock this morning. and surgical, a machine which is revolutionizing robotic surgery but mounting a campaign against these guys for two years it has hurt sales and obamacare it heard sales as well at least the implementation of it but they did do a preliminary revenue significantly higher than wall street looked at. i am glad it is about 400, longer term i think this is a $700 stock. stuart: what is long-term? peter: for more than a year. stuart:/it now, one year hence i'm looking at 700. charlesbut it will be more than a year. stuart: we here, serious stuff now, fox news reporting fbi officials have yet to find any evidence that warrants criminal charges in the irs targeting scandal and by the way and obama donor is running the internal irs investigation for the administration. let's bring in tea party news network seems to me the president, pejorative, i think he's going to get away with it. >> all you have to do is turn on fox news and fox business and you see lots of evidence where he should be guilty for targeting conservative groups, you show stories every day of it. stuart: it has never been proven it went to the oval office and the president said do this, do that. >> that is the problem. any of these scandals? always one step below are several steps below like irs targeting and the office in cincinnati but you are looking at eric holder saying fine, a banana investigation, department of justice and the one of our own trial attorneys on it but don't think you will viola

charles duhigg. (cheers and applause). >> stephen: hey, charles, thanks so much for coming on. nice to meet you. you're the pulitzer prize winning author, you write for the "new york times." you're a business investigative reporter but you also got this book called "the power of habit: why we do what we do in life and in business." it's out in paper back now. 62 weeks on the best-seller list. did people still want to buy it or is it a force of habit? >> it's absolute habit. >> stephen: we don't need to talk about it. we'll just keep going. every habit has three parts, there's a cue, which is a trigger. then the behavior itself then finally a reward. >> stephen: i'll give you an example -- >> so for instance when you back your car out of the driveway you're probably to think about other things. >> stephen: i close my eyes and gun it. >> (laughs) that's because some part of your brain is anticipating the sense of relief you'll have when your car actually makes it into the streets. >> stephen: oh! >> and even if you're not aware of that, that develops a neurological habit that you can take advantage of, close your eyes or think about changing the radio station or talk to your kids. habits -- >> stephen: so i've -- i get a pleasure response when i've achieved this task? >> absolutely. and you anticipate that task. there was a study that was done that said about 40% to 45% of everything we do everyday is a habit. you might not be aware of most of them. >> stephen: those kind of habits, isn't that like an addiction? don't you need a higher and higher dose every time? >> (laughs). >> stephen: shouldn't i get a longer and longer driveway? (laughter) >> absolutely. >> stephen: or back out of my driveway on heroin? >> that might do the trick. >> stephen: so 40% to 45% of what the average person tkphuz a day is out of habit, we're not thinking about what we're doing? >> this is amazing because it lets your brain -- evolutionarily this has allowed us to succeed. our brain can take patterns and make them automatic which means we have time to invent fire or spears or video games or something like that. >> very similar to those three. >> absolutely. if you didn't form habits we would be in trouble everyday. the trouble is often times your brain is bad at choosing habits. you like to eat doughnuts or cookies habitually. >> stephen: cookies are wonderful. >> unless you're trying to lose some weight. and the problem is that when we try and structure our brain in certain ways so that we don't develop bad habits, we tend not to pay attention to these cues and these rewards. this is the real insight is that if you understand what's triggering the behavior and what reward it's delivering to you then you get this control over shaping that habit. >> stephen: what's triggering my behavior with a cookie is that cookies are fantastic. >> (laughs). >> stephen: right? they're delicious. >> i had a cookie habit myself and i'd call these fancy psychologists and at the end of the conversation i'd say "i have a friend with a bad cookie habit." and what they said is "what's the reward?" i said "a cookie." they said "no, rewards are more complicated like that. a cookie is 12 or 13 rewards in one bundle." >> stephen: oh, yeah, because oatmeal chocolate chip is warm and gooey and the milk if you keep the refrigerator really low, that spike of fresh cold around the cookie. do you want a cookie right now? >> i kind of do want a cookie right now. so are you eating the cookie because you're hungry? which case you could have an apple which would work just as well. >> stephen: shut up! >> (laughs). >> stephen: shut up! >> sorry! >> stephen: you seem like a lot of fun. "here kids, happy halloween. here's your apple!" >> (laughs) or maybe you need a burst of energy and the sugar gives you the energy, which means you could have a cup of coffee. that would do just as well and you can replace that cookie habit with a coffee habit. in my case it turned out when i was going up to the cafeteria to get a cookie that's when i saw my friends from the "new york times" and we would talk and gossip. the socialization was the reward driving the habit. >> stephen: so you didn't even know that was what was driving -- >> i had no idea. >> stephen: i don't like this theory and i'll tell you what. i'm sure it's a great book and everyone should buy it, but every moment of my life is a moment of clarity and choice. i'm not one of the mindless jellyfish being pulled along in the tide of human affairs. i wake up in the morning. i say to my heart "continue beating." (laughter) every moment of my life is a choice because god gave me free will. it sounds like anti-free will. but you know we're determinist nature to what you're saying. >> you're an exceptional human being. unfortunately, the rest of us have to live in the real world. (cheers and applause). >> stephen: okay, all right. is it -- these habits, they're good habits and bad habit, right? >> absolutely. and you decide whether they're good or bad. to your brain they seem the same. it seems like a way to save energy. i know i like the thing, i know there's the trigger for it, i'll make it an automatic pattern. >> stephen: there an evolutionary component to this? >> absolutely. >> stephen: then why do we have any patterns or habits that our -- that are bad for us? why didn't we just evolve to only like things that are good for us? >> well, it's interesting, right? because take cookies, for instance. cookies are good for us in a lot of ways, right? >> stephen: they make us happy. >> they make us happy. in a state of nature they would give us calories and energy. for me it's a tool for socializing with my friends. >> stephen: again, i don't buy that, but go ahead. >> (laughs). >> stephen: that sounds like -- that's like a really great justification to stay on your diet. "what i really want is friends. friends with chocolate chips." well, charlesthank you so much for joining me. >> thank you!

panel, syndicated columnist george will, charles lane, opinion writed for the "washington post" and syndicated columnist charles krauthamm krauthammer, charleshink this is not rocket science. christie is now hostage to the truth. if he told the truth and he had no knowledge of this, it will hurt him. if he didn't tell the truth, and we will know it for sure one way or the other, if he did know about this thing, he's toast. it's rather simple. now, if he didn't know, if what he said was trow, there are two ways in which he's hurt. i don't think either of them is fatal, especially because we have three years to go until the presidential election. the first is the competence issue. it did happen under his watch, and, remember, whoever runs in 2016 will be running in the wake of and against the legacy of obama who showed incompetence as an executive and was the bystander president. he didn't know about the irs. he read about the a.p. scandal in the press and who knows, maybe he didn't even know there existed an obamacare website the way he talked about it, so you want to run as a competent executive hands on. this isn't going to help christie in

charles lame, and charles krauthammer. steve, what about this whole back and forth about the pen and the phone and what's going to be said and what won't be? >> we have heard it all before. remember, the president did this back in 2011 after republicans took over the house of representatives. the white house declared, we can't wait. we're going to do these things that the republicans, intransient republicans in congress won't allow us to. that's how we're going to govern. the problem for the president is he doesn't have much to point to ing terms of real accomplishments in congress. and number two, politically, it's hard to enough how this is going to help him. the republicans who ran and won in 2010 are the ones who will be up in 2014, the senate democrats we have talked about so much in red states, are the ones defending their seats. does the president of the united states think in effect, declaring congress irrelevant is going to help them help them? i don't think it's likely to have that effect. >> dan pfeiffer, senior adviser to the president appeared on fox news sunday this weekend. >> you can do a lot. i think two things from 2013 that don't get enough attention. first, the president put in place a climate action plan to reduce carbon pollution, taking historic steps without and then we also worked with the fcc so that we have a initiative in place moving forward to provide wireless access to 99% of school districts in the country. that's significant something to do without congress. >> the most common word i heard was practical about this address, realistic. it seems like it's being scaled back as to expectations. >> well, you know, the truth of the matter is i spent my whole afternoon trying to think of significant, practical steps the president can take to advance his agenda, which by the way, is a popular one. a strong theme, expanding prosperity, that doesn't involve congress. the list isn't very long. over there, freddie mac and fannie may, they could make mortgages easier to get. this is politics. it's 2014. it's about giving the democratic base something to get excited about, to steve's point. they are annoyed or a little dismayed that obama wasn't able to push through more last year, and this is kind of like a promise, okay, this year, i'm going to deliver. here's the dilemma. one of his big items is climate. regulating co2 emissions. that would be a problem for at least two democratic senators whei can think of running for re-election. ma mary landrieu and mark begich. he's going to have to be careful how he calibrates all this. >> charles this is all empty rhetoric. this is the framing of issues for election day. they know they're not going to achieve anything. surely not in congress, and the idea, as steve said, there was a speech in 2011 that was called the "we can't wait" campaign, and here's what the president said. we can't wait for congress to do its job. whether they won't act, i will. i told my administration to keep looking every single day for actions that we can take without congress. what do we achieve? nothing, the reason is that under the constitution, i know it's a summit that often gets in the way of the president, it's the congress that approperates the money. he can't do anything without appropriations. all he can do is move money around or he can stop and obstruct and regulate. and the one area where he has a lot of leeway is the epa because the courts have ruled that carbon can be called a pollutant, and once it's a pollutant, that means you can regulate any fossil fuel you don't like into oblivion

charles: and what happened in the political arena. she is a professional politician. how do you -- charles: telling her what will fly politically.nt to add this anyone's livelihood but when they say america is not the america her father and grandfather came to there's more upside potential and there are more opportunities, more avenues, promote them and, and hands them. connell: thank you very much. president obama begins his sixth year in office. the stock market near all-time highs, a growing dissatisfaction when it comes to the state of the economy. that might be the case. the u.s. sending air and naval assets to secure the winter olympic games, this after more concerns surfaced about a possible terror attack at the games in russia. more on that coming up and then a new music streaming service adds to an already competitive on demand music market. we have the latest on that. the snow coming down in the new york city area and across the northeast and causing major headaches for travelers, more than 2,000 flights canceled, expected to grow and get worse as the storm intensifies. all that and more coming up in this hour of marke

charles krauthammer joins us. charles, what's this business about he's going to change washington and all this gridlock business. >> he says he's going to change article 1 of the constitution that says that -- this is how they do it in venezuela, cuba and other places. he shows it on twitter and he says i will rule from the pen. what makes it sort of pathetic is that it sounds like a tough threat and it is unconstitutional. it's not how you ought to beat the president of the united states. but in the end, there's very little he can do. what's interesting is he said the same thing in 2011, this was a speech he gave in nevada. it was announced by the white house as the we can't wait tour. and it was one statement after another, i'm not going to wait for congress to act, i will do x, y and z. in the end it didn't work, because in the end, the only things a president can do with a pen, executive orders, are fairly limited. with one exception, that's epa and using the epa to shut down entire industries. that power. >> the memo that's gotten out, "the washington post" reported on when he said he's not going to go to congress, but he's going to go and use his pen. that when you campaign on i'm going to change washington, that means i give up. that's not what you expect a leader to do, you expect a leader to carry out those promises. the second thing, so many democrats are making cracks at governor christie for being a bully. now the president says he's going to use his pen and by pass congress. they hate the ads that governor christie has when he says he going to do that. >> he was unable to do what he thought he could do and he couldn't even do what other presidents want to do which he thought he could trangs sent and make it a more transition harmonious, no red state, no blue states america. he can't even do what normal presidents have done, what clinton did, what reagan did which is to work with the other side. >> i think clinton actually liked members of congress, even the ones he didn't agree with. >> he liked politics. >> i don't think that president obama wants to spend any time with any politician of any party. he played golf with john boehner twice. >> you get the impression he chose the wrong field. >> or he wanted to run to the white house so he wouldn't have to be around colleagues. >> reagan and tip o'neill worked out the most important piece of economic legislation, tax reform, and they were polar opposites ide idealogically. it would take a way the loophole that the rich has. he has. touched it in five years. >> and it would be so fun to change the tax code to make it fair and get rid of the loopholes of the extra special. anyway, i'm taking the last word on that, charles. >> you got it. >>> senator ted cruz is demanding an apology and he wants from president obama. and frightening new information from americans on food stamp, yes, more people are on them, but that's not even the most scary part. on the record investigates coming up and you can do it by coming up and you can do it by hashing it out, go your eyes really are unique. in fact, they depend on a unique set of nutrients.

charles payne. charles: last week it was all about the charges. when i do my moving averages, i use exponential. for the s&p, 1750. for the dow, 15,739. for the nasdaq, 7000. what does it all mean? i do not use charts a lot on the upside. charts to play a valid role. sort of the snowball becoming a boulder. i think if those numbers do not hold, we can find ourselves in one of those scenarios. adam: are investors act being rationally? i would think you would want to be in right now. charlesi think that investors are acting rational when you put the big picture together. some of the names that we know will be fantastic. do they deserve the justification, can they justify the valuations? >> i am not afraid. i would like to see a pullback. if they do not hold, let's say apple has a bad number after the bell and we all fall apart again tomorrow. the stakes have gotten extraordinarily high in the last 24 hours. lori: i think they are waiting for key events this week to make some big decisions. adam: tech stocks are among the worst performers on wall street. nicole: so many of them are consumer type names. some of these have been pulling back. twitter down 6.5%. facebook down. linkedin and tesla also to the downside. these names are obviously movers that we we watch so closely. tesla, netflix, facebook -- you had facebook. you can see tesla 169. back to you. lori: polar vortex really taking a hit on the country. schools and trains are canceling. jeff flock is live in chicago.

brookings institution senior research associate joins us with the answer. thank you so much for joining us. this expansion of the panama canal, when it's completed will be very impressive but there are problems. what are the major problems? >> yeah, absolutely. so there's a major $1.6 billion disagreement between a spanish-led consortium from europe that is constructing and of course the panamanian authorities. we're confident as the market is too they will sort this out. there are talks of short-term adjustments to kind of keep the construction rolling if you will but when this opens mid to possibly later 2015, the question how many more ships will go through and really what does it mean for the u.s. economy. ashley: that is my next question, how significant will this be for the u.s. economy? >> yeah, absolutely. certain markets will certainly benefit in the short term. we know that agricultural exports from the midwest, say soybeans, that can access the mississippi river will make increased usage for opportunity to get on bigger ships that can roll through the port of new orleans and growing markets in particular in asia. there is the possibility that the fracking explosion in just north of that kind of agricultural belt in the united states has the opportunity to export more natural gas. but there are major questions whether the united states will lift that export ban. there are some of the certain short-term benefits but everything else in the short-term is really cloudy about what the benefits will be. ashley: it will be a benefit i imagine to the ports around the u.s., los angeles, miami, you know, baltimore but because bigger ships are now coming in, are these ports going to have to make adjustments? >> there's major construction underway to try to make sure that the ports have capacity for the ships actually, absolutely. so both on the west coast where four major ports including los angeles like you listed already have the depth that can handle these major ships. they're kind of prime ministered to -- primed to take what is post-panama and post-suez. there is arms race on the ports if you will for. miami, norfolk, new york, pending one bridge construction and baltimore, with more construction underway in charleston and savannah and other markets. the question will there be enough business for the east coast markets to handle it? and if they do kind of bring in new business are there local regional distribution facilities fit to handle all the new traffic formally coming across from the west coast through rail and trucking what they call the land bridge? while there is major construction happening, we're not sure if some of those markets will be able to handle it. ashley: so the big question, will we get this thing finished? you mentioned there is a dispute over 1.5 billion of overrun costs. this could drag on, could it not? >> yeah. there is certainly opportunity there but this is way too big. there is way too much on the line for the panamanian government. they have one of the highest shares in the world of infrastructure and freight logistics contributing to their national output. they will figure it out and it is huge for the spanish construction firm. what we're concerned about, what does it mean for the american economy and particularly metropolitan markets across the country. what is really going to drive more panama canal traffic in the united states is bigger, fasttory-growing economy. meaning more and better jobs, more money to spend. growing manufacturing in terms of inputs and outputs. that will make sure the ships are full and we can take advantage of this new capacity. ashley: it will be very interesting to follow. thank you so much. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. lori: okay, breaking news. we've got shares of nu skin halted. for more straight to nicole petallides at the nyse. >> i'm standing here at the new york stock exchange where shares of nu skin have been halted. steak a look, this is the trading crowd waiting to open. the yellow on the board indicates the halt. at the moment china's administration was looking at local authorities with nu skin enterprises possibly distributing false information and conducting illegal businesses in china. the question is whether or not they had any false information. we saw the stock down 27 1/2% down before the halt. i can hear them trying to put out some indication. meantime nu skin came out and said they were working with chinese authorities. we remain committed to working cooperatively working with the chinese government. this is what they are saying. they are taking additional steps to reinforce our training and education efforts. these are some of their quotes. as i said, sustainable growth in this market, they're looking to insure this for the long term and working with the government there in china. now we heard much of the same story with herbalife. that is something that we watch and herbalife has been since moving to the upside. this will be one you can see still to the downside. there it is. [inaudible] that's it. 80.85 still? sometimes what they do they narrow the indication, posted up there you will hear something more specific but looking like 80 to 85 bucks for the indication which seems very wide to me. that can't be right. more like 83.50. how about more like 83.50. that changes. so, you know as i say it could be something else but that is looking around when they open. lori: still decline for nu skin and herbalife in tandem. we'll keep eye on the shares. thank you for that nicole. >>> incredible shrinking paycheck. charlie gasparino is here with details which wall street bank is slashing pay. ashley: $3 trillion in the hole. the grim outlook for the public pension crisis right here at home. don't go away. ♪ welcome bk. how is everything? there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers a are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order. good news. i got a new title. and a raise? management couldn't make that happen.

>> yeah, they both have simiiar business models. sort of distribution, direct marketing. ashley: yeah. >> bill ackman would call it a pyramid scheme where you sign up distributors who kick back money to you much here is why herbalife is going down. what people are saying part of herbalife's business model is not just expansion in u.s. is expansion in the china. if the chinese are taking a dim view of this business model, you have to take a dim view of herbalife's earnings. that you think this is a problematic company. we should point out herbalife is not involved in this investigation, it is nu skin. ashley: right. >> since they have similar business models, people are saying you collapse the whole sector and you know they could be in the cross-hairs as well. i think if china had an issue with herbalife's business model that is as damaging as the u.s. having an issue the u.s. fda is something bill ackman is calling for but it is pretty damaging. that is, when herbalife goes around to taught itself to analysts, particularly china is one of the places they tout as earnings growth. how is that? ashley: that was very good, charlie, thank you. talk about pay at goldman sachs, getting slashed. what do you know? >> if you look at it, shares of goldman sachs should be marginally off. do we have a chart of them? lori: ask and you shall see. >> they basically surpassed earnings estimates but quarter to quarter they did not have a great quarter. revenues, it is down but the market down but that is down fairly significantly with a market down only 66 bucks, 66 points, excuse me. falling even more as i'm talking unfortunately. what is the issue with goldman sachs? lloyd blankfein we know from behind the scenes, ceo of goldman sachs, he is saying this, listen we'll maintain 15% roe. 15%. that is probably highest on wall street. i think jpmorgan has second highest roe on wall street. they have 14, 15, something like that percent roe. that is their bogey. they will maintain it. they will essentially maintain it through cost cuts. limited people will be in the partnership pool. bonus numbers will come down which they have come down and what they are doing, they are praying for a change in admin vision that is makes wall street a little more, a lot more risk-friendly in terms of the interpretation of dodd-frank. who is he praying for? i can only tell you this, lloyd blankfein is long-time supporter of hillary clinton. if you're a wall street liberal or wall street democrat i should point out, or maybe liberal. lori: is there a difference? >> probably not a difference, you look as the clintons as the holy grail. during the clinton years wall street did very well. they deregulated wall street to extent, final nail on glass-steagall which separated financial bank from commercial bank was done by bill clinton. i believe this led to the financial crisis. not the whole story. wall street loves the clintons. they believe in hillary is in there, blankfein told people this, they, that -- ashley: this is interesting because you would think a democratic party leader would be more for regulation. >> i'm just telling you they think the clintons are pro-wall street. that they will allow goldman to be what it used to be the risk-taking institution. we should point out morgan stanley announces earnings tomorrow. here is the interesting thing. this is something inside morgan stanley. they call it the james gorman body indicator. last year when, last quarter we were first to report they were going to have a great quarter. how did we know that?
