joining me now by phone is chief economic correspond ben white.eing here so early. >> good morning to you. happy mardi gras to you. >> to you, too. in the last few weeks we've seen administration make big pushes on immigration and gun control. but the economy and jobs are still really top of mind for many americans. what is the president's plan to get more americans working? >> i think you'll hear him talk about new spending initiatives. he'll talk about infrastructure, job training, that sort of thing. the big problem there is you've got house republicans not inclined to approve any more new spending plans. that's going to be tough for him to get through. i think he's going to try to raise the pressure on them to actually do something in terms of, you know, spending on infrastructure and job training and other stuff he brought up previously in his administration. it's a tough sell with house republicans. >> do we expect to hear any major policy initiatives on taxes or the budget? >> yeah. i think he'll talk about his balanced approach to deficit

this hour's guest host, we have phil orlando and ben white.t the january effect and it was the best january we've had in many, many years so far in february, though, it's been somewhat of a damp squid. where do we go from here? >> i think you've got countervailing points here. 5% up in the month of january. we looked, there were 19 instances where january was up 4% or more in every instance, the market inished a full year positive up on average of about 22%. the long-term signal is good. we've got a 1660 full year target but we don't think we're going straight there. looking out over on the horizon, state of the union next week, we've got continuing resolution on march 27th, the sequester on march 1st. there's the potential for an air pocket. we would use any weakness as an opportunity -- >> 1660, that's 15%, 20% return? >> exactly. we think you've got a 15%, 20% return. we think you hit a record high on the s&p by the end of the year. >> i got to go to ben real quick. there is a market for this, tim geithner is writing a book. you are mr. was

insight from ben white, chief economic correspondent from "politico" and author of morning money columnevery day. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> the president down in newport news talking about the devastation visited on military, ship builders, middle class from automatic spending cuts that kick in on friday. is this over done? do we need to be as worried as washington would have us be? >> it's not just washington would have us be but obama and democrats. republicans say this is a hype job. he's trying to freak people out in order to get them to agree to a tax increase as part of a deal to get away from the spending cuts, the sequester, terrible word we call it. the big question is what actually happens after march 1. i think we do get sequester cuts in effect. no indication the deal will come out of washington, both sides set. is there a big impact, do markets react, longer lines at airports, food inspectors showing up, layoff in the military. if that happens, a lot more pressure between now and the end of march to get a deal. does that end the sequester maybe i

i want to quote from a tweet by ben white of politico who gives an anonymous snalt staffer saying thisnator hagel is going to be confirmed as soon as we demonstrate what a bunch of whack doodles we are. i mean, there's plenty of evidence that they're whack doodles and in the case of ted cruz, the junior senator from texas, he's kind of ample evidence, isn't he, already? >> yeah. well senator cruz has clearly decided not to do the normal thing, which is to show some humility when you enter the body which is like entering a room. there's conversations already going on and the tradition in the senate has generally been to listen before you scream. he's not following that -- >> listen before you scream. this guy smears and slurs before he speaks. he's made allegations about chuck hagel receiving monies from enemies of this country and has produced no evidence whatsoever. >> that's correct. under the disclosure requirements which we have no reason to believe the obama administration is not following any contact with foreign government are required under those rules and that's why even senat

i saw ben white making something of that this morning in "morning money." there wasn't a lot of talk about wall street where historically he has. is that an olive branch in a backwards way? i don't know. i saw some people trying to make something of it. >> stop hitting your head against the wall. you feel like, wow, it feels good. >> right. i think it's what joe said. if there's an olive branch it probably needs to be extended the other way. wall street alienated obama in this last election cycle. they weren't as supportive of the party as you normally see. i think it's old news. i think it's done. everyone knows about the financial crisis. everyone knows about wall street's role in it. >> right. you're going to be sticking with us for the hour. stay where you are. thank you for that. we'll keep the conversation going. >>> when we come back, shares of general election and comcast trading higher this morning after the news that the cable giant is buying the rest of nbcuniversal for $16.7 billion. we'll talk to an analyst who covers the space right after this

ben white from politico is treating the blow by blow -- >> austan goolsbee misses by two-k very angry we do need to tell you about the while we were talking jobs chevron actually reported quarterly results. the energy giant came in with fourth quarter earnings of $3.70 a share. the results include a gain of 1.4 billion from an upstream asset exchange it's unclear if ets is comparable. dow futures are up by about 105 points which means that we are about 35 points away from dow 14,000. if you add in all of these things that are coming. >> what kind of world do we live in where trillion dollar deficits are called austerity. >> we've got -- >> coming up, we've got lots of companies hoping to cash in on this weekend's super bowl but one apparel maker in particular is hoping to turn a profit from jersey sales. brian shactman's going to bring us that story. ♪ [ male announcer ] every car we build must make adrenaline pump and pulses quicken. ♪ to help you not just to stay alive... but feel alive. the new c-class is no exception. it's a mercedes-benz through and through. see your authorized m

ben's point is the white house side. what is the big deal? what is the big deal? what is the big deal? from the white house percent period of time, why do they not just have one photo? why do they -- >> this is the trip to pay golf. is the security for the balls if i can't take a picture? i don't think they're -- i agree it's not a big deal, but it is a reflex to not show the public things that they're paying for. >> here's the vicious cycle that i think everyone is locked in. there's a huge collective action problem, right? >> yes. >> the more competitive everything gets, the more there's always going to be some outlet that will accept the restraints and say we'll not name you. that's a huge problem. that has to be dealt with collectively because there's always going to be some competitor who will sell you out, but let me say this. about this idea of, you know, why not the pictures, right? there is this kind of vicious cycle i think which is as access gets restricted, then when you do have access, you look for the thing that is going to maximize hits or traffic o
