it used to be called turing pharmaceutical. now it's called phoenixus ag. i guess the case that brought him the most attention is when he bought his turing pharmaceutical company bought an hiv drug and he jacked up the price by 5,000% to make higher margins on it. this is a life-saving drug that people need. he's also, by the way, known for paying just around, what, $5,000 to any stranger in 2017 to grab a strand of hillary clinton's hair to disrupt her book tour and also buying a wu tang album which he listened to day in and day out. stuart: who can forget. coming up, we will talk to a corrections officer who was shot six times after inmates used a contraband cell phone to arrange the hit on him. he's not happy about shkreli. you will hear from him in our 11:00 hour. >>> to the economy. anyone who previously had trouble getting a job is now finding it much easier in this fully employed economy. joining us, jake timmons with the national association of manufacturers. >> morning, sir. stuart: good morning, sir. i think, let me ask you this. do you need a col

a ture by lant five months it has been. he's confident he has his arms around g.e.'s problems and i sat down with him to talk about his strategy direction for the company. >> if you think about the core of g.e. it is aviation, power, and renewables. that rotating machinery core which has long been the heart of general electric. our health care business, the health care system's business, gives us a lot of optionality in terms of what we do longer term. exceptional business in own right. david: as we think about this sector generally we think about growth. global growth, economic. how sensitive is your plan, your strategy to global growth? we're well into the cycle now. we're looking for g.e. to see recovery in 2020, 2020 it 1. we'll have a recession sooner or laterer. does your strategy survive? larry: in the short-term we're making progress with respect to strengthening the balance sheet and setting the businesses up to play more offense. aviation tends to be a business, particularly given the way that we're structured with fremmed backlog, in terms of production, c

they're down to $500 million of cash, something of that knit ture. this will bring them $2 billion.e market will accept is another question. interesting companies are losing money trying to make up on volume. that doesn't make sense. eventually they turn the corner to buy time. that is what this allows them to do, give them a little more time to play this game. neil: how do you like the market right now? a lot of people are focusing on federal reserve, not interest rates this week, maybe not at all this year, things shred down enough, bond yields lowest level of the year, things look hunky-dory? >> you're the one saying it. i don't have to say a word. exactly we talked about this before. we're not raising rates. corporate profits are not great. things are smoothing out right now. we had the unwind. that looks like opportunity. every time in history so far, markets bounced back distance of the selloff, would send the dow 35,000. that is above where we are right now. big winner in the lyft situation and ipos will be banks. keep an eye on the banks. that is where we keep economy. banks

his global fans now u ture whethey've really seen the last of the man who calls himself notorious. >>s it all another publicity stunt? >> craig, how cynical. how could you suggest -- i think you're absolutely right. look, many of his fs don't believe this either and his last retirement lasted just a few days, it was a ruse to give himself a better deal. his spokeswoman is hinting heht might fgain if he's shown more respect. i don't think we've heard the last from him at all. >> i think you're probably right. chief global correondent bill neely. >>> dramatic video from florida, four cousinsnarom ind were filling up at a gas station near mi a man from another car runs over and points a gun at them. lice say he demanded money and other the cousins, they were no easy marks. they pushed back, wrapped their arms around the gunman. that's when the alleged getaway driver jumps ain. policerrested the driver a short while late >>> hoda is on assignment. this is usually when we do the boost. we'll give it a shot here. reminder this morning a little help can go a long way. jacob sanders lriving i

it is just human mate ture you look at the math how long this has gone on. you just, you just, rather take the other side because you don't want to now get in after all this time. but you know, as long as people don't like it, as long as the other fundamental factors that i hook at remain true, earnings are growing, the fed has gone on hold, valuations are reasonable, this bull market can continue. connell: the idea then of getting into a situation where federal reserve chairman like alan greenspan in the mid '90s talk about irrational exuberance something like that you say is less likely in this long term environment, people, regular people, are scared essentially? so, it is almost a good thing in some ways, right, because we won't get too crazy in. >> yes it is a good thing in some ways because you don't get, you know, the market is driven by fear and greed if you will. connell: yeah. >> this is a market that, you know, is underparticipated in and without that greed part coming back in, pushing valuations sky-high and all that, it is really hard to point t

that was a ture today force. a home run. >> thank you, stuart. we're proud of our work. think you're in agreement with me, we do have a crisis on the border, don't we? >> no one disagrees with you. even liberals were saying month aswe had a humanitarian crisis on the border. when the two children died, families being separated. they talked about the crisis on the border. you know what happened, donald trump and secretary nielsen came up with solutions to the crisis, what, what, there is nothing to see here. there is no crisis. stuart: i just can't imagine how this can play out in democrats favor in 2020. we have a full-blown crisis on our hands. it is getting worse. i have to believe politics of immigration, politics of the border wall have shifted and are shifting dramatically in the president's favor, am i going overboard? >> no, i don't think so, but i would urge the president to get out there across the country and from the white house continue to talk about the need to pass his solutions through these emergency powers. there will be a big vote in the senate. we've g

soy hope that the bipartisan ture of this, and i hope our desire to have the budget committee not be structurally designed to fail at the most important task we're tasked with will bring us together around this amendment which, i am sorry to say it is a deficit neutral reserve fund, but it provides a message that we are willing to consider getting ourselves out of the bog we're in right now. senator enzi: thank you. i'm not seeing anybody in opposition to it, i'm going to make comments in support. unless there is someone who wishes to oppose? ok. the real debate on the budget process has to occur once we finish the budget resolution. and that'll happen this spring with a series of hearings and budget process reform. we want to have the people who are key on that committee provide a panel. some of you know i strongly favor fundamental reforms, have been working on it for three years. appreciate you mentioning biennial budgeting, reforming the procedures that discourage consolidation of the budget on the floor, developing a long term path to bring the deficit to sustainable levels. i t

speaker, for the sake of the lgbtq americans, today for two ture generations, let's -- for future generation, let's pass h.r. 5, the equality act. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. under the speaker's announced the of january 3, 2019, gentleman from texas, mr. gohmert, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. mr. gohmert: most members are heading back home, i was reminded in the elevator, someone said, you know, you guys are getting off this week. told friends, some in the media, you guys take vacations all the time. and as i explained, you don't want us in session every day. every day we're in session, we pass something that could be restraining you from your freedoms. it's a good thing when members of congress go home, as most of us do. tougher for those on the west coast. but most of us go home each weekend and during recesses. maybe to speak in the district. it's a good thing for members of congress to go home and hear from people back home. that's good. any way, sometimes the rigors at home are even more

i know you have been committed to this as your ten yu as ture ceo. can you highlight for the committee the most -- and this is a question of priority. the most important changes in your view that have been made at wells under your leadership? maybe it is something you haven't been able to highlight yet, but what changes have you made and how will those changes prevent these problems from recurring? >> i think the fundamental change of centralizing our enterprise risk and control functions is probably the most important change that we've made from an enterprise standpoint. because what it does, regardless of leadership, is create an appropriate check and balance in terms of insuring that we're providing the right products and services to our customers and managing our risks in an appropriate way. check and balance between those front line team members across the company that are making those decisions each day, and then having the oversight to make sure they're following all of our policies and procedures. and then as part of that, the way that inform
