from a business perspective, how do we target those folks and let them know that they are the community we are focusing on? and also, how do you turn that into a profitable business model, not because we want to be rich, but because we have to pay the bills and make sure we can go to work the next day? that is the question we deal with on a regular basis. we are doing that partially through partnerships with some of the people on the panel, but also through social media training, through diversity training, through actual media and informal conversation. we do a lot of meat ups. we have opened offices pretty much 24/7. we really need to lower the barriers of entry between community media, between media professional, and media in disease, and media consumer. by doing that over the last year-and-a-half, we have started to see a lot more community by and, in the community coming to us from south -- for stories, but you have to recognize that they are a diverse community, that they are someone who might have been left out of the usual media stream, and let them know that you understand that

from a small business owner's perspective he addressed the issues we have not seen addressed offer the laugh four years. most notably, how are we going to get this economy growing again because from a small business owner's perspective, that is what is going to get them hiring and make them more successful. if the economy grows, more people are buying from them. there's more confidence, and it is just a self fulfilling prophecy. >> what we are dealing with here, four years -- apart from what president obama is saying on there, what we have seen is that small business is struggling and we are way, way at the end of the food chain. we have banks that can't fail. $700 billion going into who knows what. snail gardens in san francisco. it is harder today because of rules like dodd-frank to get money from a bank. small banks are failing. we lost 2,000 of them in the last two or three years. that's where businesses go to get the personal loan based on my personal credibility. those are gone, and that's why we need a change. >> when you listen to them debate and you hear, this is going to affe

that will help us decide from a business perspective 20 megawatts, 30 megawatts. that will be one of the data points to help inform that decision. so, some of the outreach will need to occur before we answer that question thoughtfully for you, i think. and make a recommendation to you, i should say. >> well, no, thank you. and i guess i had jumped the gun a little bit in assuming you would want to

that will help us decide from a business perspective 20 megawatts, 30 megawatts. that will be one of the data points to help inform that decision. so, some of the outreach will need to occur before we answer that question thoughtfully for you, i think. and make a recommendation to you, i should say. >> well, no, thank you. and i guess i had jumped the gun a little bit in assuming you would want to know ahead of time. in party assume some of the pricing influence, construct you would be serving people with. >> yes. >> but it does get into somewhat circular. >> yes. >> the other thing that does occur to me on that, if we went out with a smaller program and if it turned out that the response was just fabulous, and we had an opportunity to do more than we originally thought, the potential problem we have there is that if we have to go back to shelf for a second increment of power, there is no guarantee the second increment will be at the same price as the first increment. >> it does not promise the price will be more or less. correct. >> one thing that occurred to me

experts say all the spending makes perfect sense from a business perspective. >> if you project say five, 10 years down the road, you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars in cass in revenue that could either be directed towards -- casino revenue that could either be directed towards the washington d.c. casino or the one up in charlestown, west virginia. >> the casino companies are likely to keep spending right up until election day. there's a race for president on for senate, for congress, in maryland. there's same sex marriage. s there the dream act. there's -- there's the dream act. there's congressional redistricting, but activists fear all of that is getting drowned out by the constant drone of these commercials for these colossal gaming companies. >> surely it is, right, because this is all we're talking about? are you getting a sense where people land at this point? do the polls tell you anything? >> the polls suggest people are skeptical. in the past voters have approved gaming, but right now it's looking like an uphill climb. >> we'll see what happens november 6th. th

what i find interesting about what blankfein is saying, think about it from a business perspective. think about what goldman has done successfully which is take the advantage you have and press them. we have a series of advantages. they're demographic. we are an incredibly wealthy country which is something that says, these allusions they make to zimbabwe about the united states, they're just off base because the wealth factors are so much greater. don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. and i think that's what blankfein is saying. a lot of of the problems we have are problems that we can solve. they're not intractable. they're not structural. why should we be experiencing these problems when they're problems that we can fix? >> kate kelly, will you agree with what steve's saying here or were there other particular takeaways that struck you from blankfein? >> sure, steve makes a good point. blankfe blankfein, if anything, was ot mystic and had some interesting words of support for the fed. he basically called them very aggressive with the tool book they have, whether we're now

what has made new hampshire exceptional from a business perspective is low government regulation.axation that's kept in check and spending that's kept in check. as a governor of the state of new hampshire, i'll lead a renewal of our new hampshire advantage beginning with zero-based budgeting for our state budget, looking at a statewide economic development plan, appointing a business advocate to the governor's office to be a champion for business and then enacting business tax reform in new hampshire that will declare a tax holiday for job creators so we can jump-start our economy right here in new hampshire, kevin. >> ms. hassan? hassan: thank you very much to bin, aarp and our other sponsors. um, we are at a crossroads in new hampshire. we are either going to be able to continue on the path that we started and built with governor lynch, or we're going to choose a governor who would side with this extreme legislature and drive us backwards. i have an innovation plan that provides for targeted tax credits, technical assistance to our businesses and a strong and skilled work force

. >> both companies say they are mean #merely laying out their case, that from their business perspectivem will mean higher taxes and more regulation. in response to these stories, koch industries released a statement that said "we make it clear about any decision to support belongs solely to our employees based on the factors most important to them and this is in no way an attempt to intimidate employees." the statement also said many companies as well as labor unions provide similar information to their employees and their members. but you know, wolf, this discussion is going to continue on. some people saying it's not quite the same thing because in this case it's your boss saying, hey, look this is how you should vote and maybe your job is on the line based on the outcome. it's going to be an interesting discussion. i'm sure it will continue to, wolf, as we get closer to the election. >> lisa, thanks very much for that report. lisa sylvester working the story. >>> other stories, it's part of the election that might be debatable after all. jack cafferty is following that in the caffert

how is the distance traveled and the size of the airplane make it a different business in your perspective >> they're all flying airplanes, but they're not flying the kind of airplanes you are with the same kind of standards that you're flying. and so you let that operate as it's an independent business because other people are in that business. but you can't afford to have a lot of excess cost and still win a contract. so it makes the management be cost effective. >> the major airlines created the regional industry as a way of lowering costs. they don't wt to pay employees, and i don't care whether it's pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, ground help. they wanted to find a way of getting rid of experience. they wanted to find a way of getting rid of that expensive employee, and let's start this new industry and call it the regional industry. >> o'brien: today, more than half of the commercial flights in the united states are flown by regional airlines. >> the industry really restructured itself fundamentally. and there was decisions that were made about what services should be inurced t

business. from my perspective, i think if amazon was so confident in its ability to help its small merchants growey'd be able to offer a lower interest rate on those loans than other options. not only just offer that loan faster, but a lower rate of return. >> herman, what do you think? >> i think this is a smart move for amazon. i think it's enabling bigger ecosystem -- it's building out their ecosystem. the third party business for amazon is about 40% of their units. it's one of the fastest growing areas. i think it's a good driver. it's not for every seller. not every seller is qualified to get this. amazon has the color to basically figure out whether you are going to give lending to that customer or not. so it's not for all sellers. >> fair enough, but -- >> what about the idea that amazon might be spreading itself too thin? should shareholders be concerned? >> i think it's a growth trajectory and a growth avenue for amazon. like i said earlier, it's 40% of units today. that's third-party sellers selling on amazon. that's growing 60% year over year. that's part of what the company's investin

perspective from somebody who has been on the inside joining us from washington d.c. in a fox business exclusive, wayne angell, former federal reserve board governor. nothing is surprising here. i don't like to speak for my guests. >> nothing is surprising. it is what we would have anticipated. there are a lot of reasons for that, but i want to look a little farther ahead and suggest that the fed should emphasize price stability more strongly because if they had of price stability commodity prices declining, would kept policy where it has been any way and make for a better transition to a growing economy as we will see occur in 2013. liz: explain to our viewers what you mean by price stability. >> what i mean by price stability is the risk of prices rising is exactly the same as the risk of prices falling. that is what the fed should do. if it does that, then the fed will be leaning against a market where the market slows down and commodity prices fall. the rate of change in commodity prices, year over year, very important, and right now, it is about the same. commodity prices about th

business network. to put what she said in perspective, they try to talk about getting behind the market and mba soothsayers and the harvard educated and wharton, you know, endowed brainiacs and what makes them tick. fear and greed makes them tick. they are afraid right now. they are afraid. they are going to take the money off the table because they're afraid and certainly not committed because they're afraid. the essence of the market is just that. i wish i could tell you what i do is some sinister supersecret. it is not. they are run by emotion and they're afraid. that's why they the best they do with the money is buy dividend and stock. they are afraid. the folks who invest in the company are greedy enough to think no deal is made in washington. sayonara. but we're not saying sayonara. that's what they are saying to the economy if it happens. we're going to stay here in washington. outside the white house. probably pop over for latte or coziness. more from washington. after this. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about that 401(k) you picked up back in the '80s. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 like a lot of things,

vice president elsbernd: if i could comment on that i have a slightly different perspective on the office of small business in that they're underfunded and i agree we wouldn't want to disfract from the focus but i think that office should not be underfunded and needs to have more resources because it is very difficult for a lot of businesses to access all the different bureaucracies that we have. so i want to say i definitely appreciate i guess what was written to us from the office of small business and in the future i think it's appropriate for that office to expand to actually remove redundant bureaucracies in other departments but i do think it's probably a longer conversation just given how many departments there are that impact different aspects of our small business community. >> president farrell: okay. >> can i clarify, this will not be implemented or it requires further analysis? >> president farrell: further analysis. >> then you want them to come back in six months. >> president farrell: that would be great. we are mandated to have them come back in a certain time timeframe. let's do that. reco

. >> put it in perspective, the value of the business they sold to morgan stanely was 13.5 billion. vikram told the board it was worth 18.2 billion. that alone, the fact that it's underperformed, all the other big stocks, big bank stocks and still below where it was in '09, he should have gone a long time ago. probably a nice guy. i don't know but i'm glad he's out. >> anybody else want to pile on. >> i will. news came out five minutes ago that the board made this decision after the regular meeting yesterday. i think that was the key question investors had this morning, so no one can argue with the performance or lack thereof of performance from pandit over the course of the last five years, citi stock down 89%. >> hold on. we got to go to john who has more on the apple event. john? >> hey, michelle, a little more detail on this invitation i just got moments ago to this apple event. it says on october 23rd which is the date we were expecting. location, though, we weren't exactly expecting in san jose at the california theater. apple has had an event there before. it was a music even

local oyster farmers in great bay, worked on cleaning up the pollution from a pro-business and pro-environment perspective. these are the kinds of things that i do not when you're pro small business and pro economy, these are the things that can happen. please do come out and vote, look for adam schrader in new market, look for bob goodman in new market on that side of the ticket as well, he's connected with paul campaigns tissue paul ryan campaigns here in the past. the alternative is another obama administration, more taxing, more squeezing, the kind of thing that's closing down businesses like mine here in new market. i snow senator paul -- i know senator rand paul will do better, we need him back in office. coming up next, adam sanborn. >> how are you this afternoon? fantastic. let me ask you a question. in the next four years, how many of you will be looking for a job? in the next four years how many of you want a job? in the next four to six years how many of you might want to buy a house, maybe a new car? it's an amazing thing because not that long ago, i was in the exact same position you are in.

i come from a business perspective and i am a concord outsider, unlike my opponent.hat she was the majority leader of the senate. the facts did not side with her on balancing the budget. the last budget they had was out of balance to the point where the governor had to call a special session. every paper in the state called it either a phony budget or a budget that we should not be proud of. i would bring real world experience at a time when jobs is at the center of this campaign. i think my approach, putting my faith in the people and businesses of the state and working with them, not willing them, not trying to control their prices in their environment. that is the approach we will take. >> this is to be addressed to ovide lamontagne. >> the house passed a bill to allow virtually any person in new hampshire to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. those that could not get a permit included the mentally unstable, victims of domestic abuse, and convicted felons. will you sign the bill or veto it? >> the bill you describe is called constitutional carry. vermont h

business-minded guy. we're running government, from my perspective, the chair that i sit in, as a business.nd it surely has that strong touch to the people and understand what they want. but we run it as a business. you can't spend more money than what you bring in. it's plain and simple. >> what's the biggest issue? you've got this thing, it's a toss-up. you've got two weeks to go. i appreciate that you want mr. obama to win, but what do you think? is it the economy or some other issue in ohio? >> i think the number one issue, the bottom-line issue in the state of ohio is the economy. jobs. and i am confident that the president will win on that issue because of what he's done to turn the state around in our state with the auto-industry, with manufacturing. the work that he's done in our state has made a difference. the think about ohioans, is that we're a loyal frgroup of people. when we see a high unemployment rate when the president took office and it even got a little worse as a result of the resegsz, the worst recession since the depression. and through the president's policies, howeve

they've taken it on themselves to branch out in other areas that are clouding the overall perspective of the business. the motorola side of it, which you just mentioned, that remains a problem, and they can't figure it out, right? >> well, you know, i think -- and i don't know, i'm not really at my circle of competence. i think the motorola thing is defensive to protect the patents. you saw how apple won the patent thing against samsung. it's insurance and if you look at google, it's $40 billion of cash. they're earning nothing on the cash. if they paid $5 billion for motorola, it's essentially free money. i described it as a science project. i right now, if i were the science teacher's grade, i would give them a c or c minus, the basic business is so good, and it's taking so much market share, and the margins are so good, and it's generating so much profit, you really shouldn't be bothered by it. >> you have as much confidence in google as you did at 7:00 -- >> yes, but i have much better price. >> i'm an fx guy. explain to me. >> where do they lose this money? what did they do, where were they hedg

businesses. ashley: from your perspective, what was the biggest surprise, do you think, in the survey? as been a lot of talk about the tax rate for small businesses. that was the third issue on their mind. it was not number one or number two. that is cutting government tape in making it easier for them to be successful. the second one, the healthcare option. below that, the issue of taxes. i think, you know, it does not necessarily match up against the talking points that are out there. ashley: according to the u.s. census between 2008 and 2010, 23,000 small businesses were lost. did you get a sense that we are kind of gaining back some of those small jobs? what is the environment like for starting small businesses? >> great question. earlier this summer we put out an overall small business report. a lot of small businesses are talking about adding to their payroll. i think the overall sign relates to whether or not small businesses are optimistic and whether they will add new employees. that is looking very favorably. ashley: the number one issue is regulation. cutting through red tape

it seems the small business committee is try to make drastic cuts. from our perspective, the new majority leadership is looking to make drastic cuts, many of the program will hold near and dear to our hearts. the question the leader is continually asking is, show me the jobs. she wants to see house bills come to the floor that create economic opportunity for middle- class -- all of americans. if the small business committee is looking to cut funds from the sba, we see that as a detriment. we do not believe in cutting to create more jobs. we agree with the idea of the recovery act, putting more money out there to get people employed. >> on congressional action, that is not my role. in san francisco, we have been the beneficiary. all small businesses should be aware that we have been the beneficiary of a lot of good resources for small businesses. we have more nonprofits that are funded through micro lending here in the city from sba programs. some are expected to be looked at for budget cuts. some will continue. but we have more of those programs in san francisco, really,

exploration of russia's vest reserves to replace aging and depleted fields in a wider perspective they do shows that russian business environment is then enemy was a number of serious developments taking place in different sectors such as megaphones force coming i.p.o. and suburbans ask you that international on the money r t. ok jim and i to go back to you in washington we have the fiscal cliff approaching the united states at the turn of the year we're still going to go there is there enough political will in the united states to move back from what looks like the brink here just before we go back i would go back to agriculture and there are many ways to invest in agriculture in is quoting opening but you know there are many ways to invest in agriculture and clothing opening business in the agricultural areas because if i'm right the farmers are going to have the money in the future and it's not the stockbrokers peter you should learn to drive a tractor you know you have a second job if you're right how to drive a car how to drive a tractor well i should maybe listen our advice is usually do pretty good job as you

i'm wondering from your perspective, as someone who does business all around the world and despite your protestations about not knowing much about politics, how you assess the relative chances of success for america dealing in the short term with its fiscal cliff and the longer term with its ability to get some semblance of good governance and with the chinese to be able to do the same and make changes in their economy so that the two largest economies and policies in the world will help things stay online. >> china has huge issues they have to deal with. democracy starts as white men over a certain age who own property. every society creates a middle- class and has some form of democracy over time. it's hard. losing control, social unrest, etc. think about the financial system. it's not the most important thing, but it is where investors of all types, pension funds, individuals meet to invest in projects, companies, startups, ventures, and they cannot macro- manage down the road. as the united states, we should help them do that. it is in our interest that they grow peacefully to take

mobil ad revenue, when it looks as a company perspective is about 15% of business. a huge growth.s. the 70 percent of the second mobley every day. the ad revenues that will come from that, it's going to see beneficial to facebook because the ad revenue alone that you get on mobile trade, growing at about 10% year-over-year. tracy: the rise of the tablet market is only going to help facebook. no one knows how to get to the ads on their phone, but more and more people have tablets. much easier to click in. >> absolutely. that is where i think the benefit is to advertisers. gone are the desktop type ads off to the side of the screen that people don't click on. if you want to look at ancillary effects, some of the other stocks, kinda similar to facebook. some of the other companies that are out there that our customers are partners with facebook. tracy: you brought up to grade mornings. two times coming up, a lot of insiders will be able to sell. it is expensive. so with all of that to you buy it here? >> i don't. i wait. i think facebook is growing up. no longer read teenager, but it

to have the best kind of legal system for creating businesses of all sorts john: you're going to use texas law? >> we are proposing to the perspective governor that a default texas legal system without u.s. federal law is pretty good law. most american business people respect and feel comfortable with texas commercial law. many hondurans felt comfortable. separate. the red -- they have to figure out where that is, but it's a good brand globally for business and it will help attract significant capital to the project. john: so you have this area, 150 miles from where you are now in the capitol, and some left-wing activist in honduras say you're going to steal land from a honduran tried. >> that is simply a misunderstanding. there was an earlier version of the project which was near the region where there have been problems with various people taking land from indigenous tribes. we have absolutely nothing to do with that. hundreds of kilometers away. as a matter of principle we are buying the land, options on land from private landowners to have clear titles to sell at market prices for. john: americans are going to go there and say,
