: interesting come back. >> steve: that will be a wild card. >> brian: congressman tim scott upand coming star . jimdemint's personal pick. >> steve: jay carny. the fiscal cliff thing. the average person really has no idea what that stands for. if you watch that. >> brian: you much the package. >> steve: no idea. something we learned about in school . i forgot about it. jay carny revealed yesterday. gretchen just said it is not a tax problem it is the way they waste our money. jay carny said deficit reduction is not the goal. are you kidding? here he is. >> deficit reduction is not the goal here. the reason to get our fiscal house in order and the reason to pass a deficit reduction package that is balanced and allows for economic growth is to put our economy on a sustainable fiscal path which again, in itself produces positive economic benefits and revenues are part of it this. the president put forth and entitlement reforms and savings gleaned from our health care entitlement programs need to be a part of it. the president has been specific about that. >> brian: he's talking

brian williams knows that. diane sawyer knows that. scott pelley knows that. they all know it. and they did -- no, no marjorie. i'm going to speak to this because i have been in this business for 35 years. all of those anchor people know you use that video. all of them did not use it. >> okay, in the same way, you have to look at how in wisconsin when they -- >> bill: no, you don't. you don't have to look at anything. it's breaking news. you use what comes into your desk when it's news worthy. am i wrong here? >> let kirsten weigh in. >> the comparable situation would be the way they covered the tea party stuff, which was they always found this little -- >> bill: they hated the tea party. when you is much more intense than the tea party. >> i'm saying is if you're going to pick out one incident at an event that you think shows what happened, if they're going to talk about boisterous and violent, that was the incident. >> bill: boys trust is a far different thing -- look, that guy could have been killed. wait, marjorie. that man could have been killed. he could have been killed.

brian has that. >> believe it or not, scott, that is rim. research in motion is up more than 7%. 7.5%.till in the 80 cents for rim. the stock is up. not a lot of news out on rim. as we approach the blackberry 10 debut, there's been some blogs that have leaked out pictures of what may or may not be the blackberry 10 with the keyboard or not. there's a lot of concern about it looking like the iphone. they like the blackberries for the physical keyboard. it's a blog on a blog on a blog reportedly leaked out of china. it's got a hard wired keyboard attached to it. that's still a draw for people. that's what i'm seeing as possibly the only reason the stock may be moving today. so this is going to be a hot traded stock, guys, until january 30th, whenever that blackberry ten is supposed to officially roll out. >> likely beyond that, sully. weiss? >> i bought a little last week when it came down. of course traded down further after that. now it's trading back up. s if going to have two versions. it is going to have keyboard and it is going to have a virtual keyboard like the iphone. that will

overnight we heard that brian chats will be the new senator replacing longtime senator daniel inouye. >>> tim scott cause picked to replace retiring senator demint. >>> and one that still needs to be decided t. massachusetts will have a special especs to replace john kerry. actor ben affleck is no longer in the mix. he took his name out of the running there. >>> a busy day, given it's a thursday as we watched the senate get back to work and hopefully cobble something together. brian schatz will be sworn in today. he tweeted just had a nice conversation brief chat with the president this morning. was schatz the best choice? >> it seems like it. he's very family to hawaiians, and most importantly he's a democrat. clearly in the context of senator unoway's passing, it seems only appropriate. he's going to support the president's 'enda, one would think as a united states senator, you would be reporting the agenda of your constituents, which may be in line with the president -- i'm not trying to say it's not, but my point is it seems appropriate. >>> all threw of us you are aware of what inouye had aske

scott, thanks so much. >>> now to 2013. here is brian shactman with his sports predictions for next year. >> let's start with sporting stocks. under-armor has a market capital of $5 billion. nike, almost 45. jpmorgan recently initiated ua as underweight, but the upside glossed over is the exact reason the watch the stocks. women, international and footwear, all huge opportunities and they'll start to get them going in 2013. one of the big stories at the winter meetings here in nashville, tennessee, alex rodriguez and his injured hip. my prediction for 2013, he will not play a single game the entire season. but don't worry too much about a-rod, that $114 million he's still owed, he will get every single penny. >>> finally, hockey. deal or no deal, the nhl is still in trouble. the major profit issue is this. 30 teams. that's four too many. pull out the ten with the lowest attendance, right? the irons are going to move to brooklyn, they're safe. dallas, colorado, they're in core markets. winnipeg, they have a small intlg so they get to stay

brian, that's right. the center of the financial universe has been senator scott brown's facebook page of all things, he is the defeated massachusetts senator. he lost to elizabeth warren. he still sits in the senate until the new senate is convened in january. so he posted on his facebook page that he was heading back to d.c. take a look at what he actually said. he said, heading back to d.c. just learned that the pres reached out the gop leadership with a proposal. it is the first such proposal to be put forth eager to see what it is, how it should be serious. he said he hopes it is a serious proposal. so meanwhile the white house responding very quickly to that. they're saying over there a senior administration official there is no proposal being sent up today. scott brown is wrong. so we'd like to hear from senator brown as soon as he gets to washington about why exactly he posted that on his facebook pain and what he meant by a proposal, but the administration official eager to knock that down. a little bit of drama about whether we had a counter offer here. apparently we do not have a counter offer.

"fast money halftime report" with scott wapner and the crew begins right now. >>> all right, brian and thanks so much. welcome to "halftime." traders are mike murphy, joe terranova, josh brown and steven weiss. lots to talk about. we'll start with the fiscal cliff and stock market. stoc stoc stocks paring their gains just a bit. amid reports in washington talks on the fiscal cliff have taken a positive turn. steve weis, market seems to be anticipating a deal. >> all we've done is ratchet up the now if there is no deal or it's an ugly looking deal we've got much more risk in the market. because the market is assuming that a deal will happen. it's assuming we won't go off the cliff. if you take what boehner just said, to me it's actually good news that the market didn't really respond. because it's negotiation as usual. boehner was really only talking about the cost cuts that he's looking for from obama. obama's just trying to negotiate. so i don't even know why he spoke today. maybe to throw some cold water on the notion or maybe throw hope. we don't know. the point is ignore the headli

what scott needs is a divisive democratic primary like he got in 2009 after ted kennedy's death. >> brianhe see as a scenario that could happen, 'cause people are talk being vicky kennedy, ted kennedy's widow, maybe patrick picking himself to run. >> i don't think that duval will pick himself. he's been clear about that. people speculated that she would be the interim senator until the primary could be held to pick somebody to run against scott in may or june. but i think what scott and republicans are concerned about is duval may tell vicky kennedy that she or someone else, but probably vicky kennedy, that she could run in the primary to fill the remaining two years of kerry's term and if the democrats don't have a blood bath, it's going to be much more difficult for scott brown to win in a general election, a special election. >> brian: wow. he seems to have done such a good job. thanks so much. appreciate the inside ball on massachusetts. always go to see you. >> thank you, brian. always a pleasure. >> brian: coming up straight ahead, in the wake of the newtown shooting, we're talking

brian, thanks so much. doc, biggest gainer in the s&p, that's best buy. >> yeah, and they're betting at that 15 strike in december, scott. in other words, they're thinking over the next day or into next week, we see a pretty significant upside out of those calls. they've been bought very aggressively for right around 50 cents today. they've moved up to into the 60 cent range, only a 10 cent gain, but on a percentage basis, that's pretty good, and they've got a week to go for those calls. >> do you buy the stock in hopes that he's going to get what he wants, he's going to pay the price and he's going to take the company? >> no. that's why you buy these calls. because you've got a 50 cent risk instead of a $14 risk if you do that, if something does come out that's like that $6 billion bid, then the stock moves up into the 17 range. then these calls, you know, you've got a nice quadruple on that trade if you get that. >> yeah. that's what i was hoping to get out of you there. you know, the options strategy obviously pays off a lot better sometimes than -- certainly cuts down on the risk, right? >> cuts down on the risk, an
