in chris called managing partner of artemis capital management fund to help us discern that so chris now i know that you're not a credit in currency x. very not expecting you to be but my question is for the average investor that with this increase correlation if they weren't sophisticated and they didn't want to get into complex derivatives or something could they just buy the u.s. dollar index if they wanted to hedge against volatility you know that's a really excellent point i mean you can get really creative in the way that you're looking at hedging your portfolio nowadays so in some ways if you're looking to get exposure to volatility just by increasing your exposure to the dollar index that might be one way to actually. create a synthetic hedge for an equity portfolio absolutely how do you know there we go and our viewers can see that chart again because it was an interesting one and now you're saying also that the role that the japanese yen used to play in this regard so now that the dollar is more in this role what does that mean for the japanese yen is it is it losing its luster a

i wish he were able to see what i'm up to right now. chris: and the first time an african-american president loses that will carry weight historically. the congressional black caucus. >> each night when we tuck in our girls at the white house i think about keeping that dream alive for them and for all of our children. and that's now up to us. and that's hard. i understand that. and nobody feels that burden more than i do. chris: you can imagine him with sasha suspect malia at bedtime thinking about -- and malia at bedtime thinking about that but you don't hear him talk about that. >> he doesn't talk about the ethnic piece and historic nature of his election. it's a stratjirk thing and part of the way that you have to run as an african-american trying to be president of the whole united states. and i think that african-americans are so personally deeply invested in this man that he doesn't really have to say it. it goes without saying. chris: so the personal hurt here will be profound. >> i think the personal hurt will be profound with either.

but now i have a second-favorite republican. chris christie. all know that i'm a die-hard democrat, but i also like getting stuff done, and when chris christie keynote speaker at the rnc, when he puts the people of his state above the politics of his party, that makes me . . . proud. that's the way it should be. when chris christie praises the president for working with him in crisis it gives me hope that republicans might work with president obama in all of the crises of his second term. if chris christie can work with the president, maybe all hope is not lost for dc. crisis might even bring the stanchest republicans together. democrats and republicans work side by side with common purpose. no one asks about trivial stuff like party affiliation. they have a much more important job to do, and their only label is american. just makes me proud to say it. so can we get some more chris christies up in here? can the dc republicans look to the bombastic yet utterly human governor of new jersey and say, hey, maybe that will work for us too. there are s

this is very, very hard and i think he did the right thing. >> chris: now, you... >> yes. s. >> chris:... accept this. >> realize additional complications, which i did not at the time i spoke to him. i did he did the right thing and i think the president really had no choice but to accept the resignation. >> chris: let me ask you about those additional complications, because it turns out the way the fbi found out about this is because paula broadwell, the mistress, was sending threatening e-mails to another woman, whom she regarded as a threat to her relationship with petraeus. what do you know about that relationship, between the other woman and petraeus? >> well, it is and fbi investigation, that is continuing. i read both the "post" and the times this morning and it is pretty well laid out, i think. i hate to discuss it, except to say there are a number of things that one has to consider, the first of which was there any kind of national security breach. to date, there was not. and, the fbi has briefed me, now, i actually wish we had been briefed a little bit earlier. so

black friday is significant because it's part of a larger strike wave that's going to continue now chris i know that you played a role in organizing some of these protests and even participated in four of them you said yourself on black friday can you talk about your observations and whether you will whether or not you think the protests were affected i mean i don't think they're affected just because it's really changing the dialogue around workers france and how wal-mart impacts not just their bottom line and those workers but the entire industry of these with just six companies like wal-mart such trends that everyone follows whether it be a grocery store or target so when workers are speaking up it's being heard across the country which is why there are over a thousand auctions on black friday and one wal-mart downplaying the importance of this i think everything just josh said completely right we're actually seeing a new america coming awake in this time period where it's coming off the heels of occupy wall street the heels of what happened in madison so workers are really willing to s

chris christie. (laughter) now, as i said earlier -- as i said earlier, he has done a great job, but he's so interested in addressing the needs of his constituents that i think he's lost sight of what's really important! >> if you think right now i give a damn about presidential politics than you don't know me. i spoke to the president three times yesterday. he called me for the last time at midnight asking what he can do. he's been incredibly supportive and helpful to our state and not once did he bring up the election. i said if you could expedite the major disaster declaration without the normal fema mum bow judge boy, he got right on it and this morning i understand he he signed a disaster declaration for new jersey. the president has been all over this and he deserves great credit. >> stephen: oh, come on! you're praising obama just because he declared new jersey a disaster area? johnny carson did that for 30 years! (laughter and applause) hay-oh! thank you, michael. stay dry up there. folks, it's one week before the election and christie is praising a democrat. what's next? a democrat praising ch

them are suffering today in the aftermath, and i want to go to one person who has had to endure just a terrible night. his name is chris, and he joins me nowris, i want to ask you about your night. you evacuated your wife and children, but you stayed with your home, and you watched as your home flooded to the first floor. can you tell me what you saw out your window, what was happening with your neighbors? >> yeah. basically i -- i did evacuate to my sister's house. she refused to leave, so i stayed with her, and my brother was there also, and the water just rose so quick. it was unbelievable. we ran to the first floor. i thought let's just get out of here. i made a run for my truck, but i already noticed the water was up to my truck, the hood. by the time i turned around and looked back again, it was two feet higher. the water rose basically like ten feet in about it seemed like about 20, 30 seconds, and it was approaching the next level so, we ran up to the next level and watched from the windows there, and the back of the house we watched looking towards the ocean and basically there was about 13 feet of water on the ground, but that wa

>> i don't know. >> chris: what do you mean. >> i don't know, i live in a log cabin and i love it. >> chris: do you think you are a bit eccentric. >> nowt be weird. >> chris: days before thanksgiving, she and i dance with the turkeys! she grew up on a family farm. and, she want to see those values live on. >> i'm a could yw girl and i cal what cows are thinking and very much my success as a farmer, which george washington was, he want to be a really good farmer and i think i have been -- i have become a good farmer. >> chris: sandy sold about a thousand turkeys this thanksgiving but also gave 600 to d.c. central kitchen for use at shelters, food lines, and schools. and that's it for today, have a great week. and we'll see you next fox news great week. and we'll see you next fox news sunday. captioning by, closed captioning services, inc.

here is msnbc's chris hayes, host of up, for a segment we call up now. chris, ito keep that romney rnc speech on loop. >> yeah. >> the roars of laughter when he suggests that maybe we should tackle rising sea levels especially -- i actually think that's more of a damming piece of sound than the fee had ma comments. >> can you imagine a democratic president making a joke about like my republican opponent says he's going to destroy al qaeda. i'm going to look out for you and your family and then -- and then an al qaeda attack happened a few weeks after that. think about what the electoral fortunes of that hypothetical democrat would be. >> but it speaks to an incredibly craft attitude towards climate science and climate change. at one point there were photos of newt gingrich and nancy pelosi on a couch talking about this. it has become -- it has become worse than political kryptonite, it's [ inaudible ] to the republican party to talk about this in any way. >> they've folded both because there are trillions of dollars at stake from the fossil fuel industry and beca

time we see each other, chris, i guarantee you that mustache will be right where it's today and where it's been 40 years, so you know how serious that bet was. >> chris: the key now is turnout and the obama campaign has talked for years about how strong your ground game is. i want to look at ohio and what the romney camp says is happening in early voting and absentee ballots. let's putting the numbers up on the screen. it's a little complicated. they say, this is the romney camp, says that 557,000 ohio democrats that voted or or gotten an absentee ballot, down 155,000 from four years ago. republicans are up 108,000 from 4 years ago. a swing of 263,000 votes in early balloting, which wipes out obam's final victory margin of 262,000 in ohio 4 years ago. what they are saying is if substantially more republicans turn out to vote in ohio on election day, which is what they traditionally do, they are going to win ohio and you are going to lose. >> we will 99 two days who is bluffing and who is not bluffing. the fact is, if you look at every poll in ohio, we have been ahead even or ahead in virtually every one, the latest came out this morning in the columbus dispatch.
