when you're mayor of newark, he brought major investment into downtown newark. that was part of his job and it is hard to do. big companies weren't coming into newark and he helped turn that around and that involves reaching out to wall street and big corporations. so that hit on him from the activist class, i get it. but did he his job in mayor in doing that outreach. >> he's going to -- there's an interview i think he gave in 2012, might have been on meet the press, where he criticizes the approach that the obama campaign is making to mitt romney and beating up on venture capitalists and that's going to come back to him. he called it naus eighting the way that the obama allies and obama was attacking mitt romney. that's certainly going to come back and haunt him. we'll see how that plays. but all mixed up, he is somebody that's electrifying. between him and elizabeth warren, those are the folks who really send a buzz through the crowd. people want to touch them. people want to be around them. that's something that i think will serve him really well, particular

newark is one of the original 20 finalists in amazon year-long contest.te offered amazon $7 billion worth of incentives. obviously dwarfing the close to 3 billion that new york city and new york state with a quite a hubbub over. amazon is lower on the session. walmart is down as well. the uk merger is facing challenges. that is weighing on the stock. so britain's since bury was supposed to buy walmart as a chain for 9 1/2 billion dollars n a surprise move the regulators are blocking the takeover citing antitrust concerns. analysts say that dooms the deal permanently. that hurts walmart's plan for expanding in non-u.s. markets. charlotte russe, women's clothing chain looking for buyer. it declared bankruptcy a month ago f nobody shows up, makes successful bid for the brand, it will start shutting down stores in march. the store has 500 branches all over the u.s. it has 8700 workers. connell, you know this, it was mall-based. that hurts in the era of online shopping. connell: deirdre bolton at the stock exchange today. to technology with samsung, rumored to

all the time when we see two engine aircraft that can now travel in a 17 hours from singapore to newarkas we have seen, 16,000 kilometers, you know, that means that the very long haul four engine aircraft are able to do the same, obviously, but they are more expensive to run, and, you know, burn more fuel the engine is the most expensive part, single part, to look after, you know, on any aircraft that's probably one issue there. also, of course, aircraft, as i say, like the a350 coming on-line now and the 787, the 787 they all allow the same capability as the a 380, but they can do it in a more flexible manner and also be able to take, you know, passengers on short haul and medium haul trips as well. >> essentially they had just underestimated the efficiency gains when it comes to the fuel and pricing when they originally launched these aircraft. one thing that also struck me is that if you look back at the history of orders, obviously british airways air france, air emirates, air china, all those aircraft carriers had placed orders forthe a380, but nothin out of the u.s. or south ameri

what senator cory booker said, he wants amazon to bring their second headquarters to the city in newarkhough with higher income tax it may be hard to lure the workers, it goes against other progressives, cory booker older but she also being criticized for cozying up to big companies and corporations, and hollywood, so, maybe he is playing a different game, but long island city missed out, cory booker hopes newark will win out. >> we want hq 2, we sent that message out, and everyone from governor to mayor to local leaders have been reaching out. >> there you go, i don't know if amazon is taking another look at a second headquarters, they. long island city missed out on >> you know here every state and ever city is of two minds, we got to a race to bottom where we give away billions of dollars to company that have bil billions o get them to bring jobs, new york city has done well so far, i was in full disclosure, i was on panel they asked a bunch of civic leaders and professors and business people to try to seek amazon to put hq2 in chicago, i thought some place other than where they alre
