well said, thank you for being on the phone and joining us from boston.he debate over obamacare, what worries you the most about repeal and replace? >> well, there's a couple of things. number one, as we've gotten more and more capability to predict what kind of illnesses you will have, we have genomics and way to look at your data from living conditions and other information about your life. we're able to predict not just what conditions you have in the past, we've been talking about preexisting conditions and 27% of the country has preexisting conditions that if you're under 65 would be things that automatically excluded you from health care coverage before oba obamacare. if you didn't get it through your employer or medicare. we're in a new world where in the last few years we have data that makes it that virtually all of us have a preexisting condition waiting to happen. the power of medicine these days, when we talk about you hear people say, if obamacare is repealed, if health reform is taken away, people can still go to the emergency room and they

jill stein joins us from boston.dential candidate for the green party and an advocate, that the congressional's had to listen to. i assume you have been on medication as you are getting over the campaign. the news flow has been fast and furious. let us first talk about voter fraud. by every report, it is not out there. how did people on common ground in congress convince the administration, and convinced the president there is other things to talk about? jill: i think that applies to so many things, in addition to voter fraud. we have got a health care crisis, and undermining the little bit of health care support we have is not the way to go. on voter fraud, i think we just have to point out over and over the problem is voter suppression, not voter fraud. this is an effort of the president to distract from his, shall we say rather humiliating loss in the popular vote, and to blame it once again on immigrants, and bring more hatred and division. tom: we are counting down the days until spring training with the red sox

also joining us today from boston is asset management ceo carrie firestone. wondering what your thoughts are on the financials in light of what you just heard from messrs. blankfein and dimon. >> hi, scott. hi, guys. i would agree that the financials are a sector that should out perform over the next couple years. let me give you four very quick reasons. one, they're cyclical and the cycle seems to be improving. two, deregulation is positive for them clearly. interest rates are going up. that's good. and let's remember that for the past three years never mind the last eight years, financial stocks have underperformed. and the cycle turns every few years and this could be a good time. it's not just stocks that silicon valley bank or first republic, goldman sachs, et cetera, have gone up very quickly. they might come down some but there are stocks like aig, for example, other insurance companies, blackstone is another financial, they haven't moved very much. and i think they're attractive rate here. >> what about the overall market? would you use the word attra

jeffrey is the chief global investment strategist for charles schwab and joins us from boston.hat kind of volatility will we see in the new year? we have seen so much volatility in the currency space, so much anxiety playing out in that venue, what do you see? >> stocks quiet, the return of volatility, not at bear market bum but just but some corrections that we saw a little bit last year, in january and february of last year, a correction in the stock market which was one of the last ones, we may see something like that again, a number of factors that are causing that come anywhere to brexit, a slowdown negotiations, taking a hard turn, russia. even the european election. all those pointing to the first half of this year, the potential for another correction while the rally remains intact, it certainly faces some hurdles in the weeks and months ahead. mention theid not central banks, will they be taking a back seat in 2017 if politics will be the principal driver? policy makers and foreign policy makers will take the lead away from monetary policymakers if only because it seem

treasury secretary, larry summers, joining us from boston. global backlash to president donald trump's integration clampdown continues. leaders and key american allies distancing themselves from the u.s. president, like canadian prime minister justin trudeau, who took to twitter to reinforce his refugee stance. he tweeted "to those fleeing persecution, terror, and war, canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. diversity is our strength." germany also expressed its own concerns. chancellor angela merkel spoke, saying that the fight against terrorism "doesn't justify raising people of a particular origin or faith under general suspicion." joining us is nick burns, former undersecretary of state and former ambassador to nato and greece. ambassador, pleasure to talk to you today. over the last 48 hours, a lot has happened in the geopolitical relationship between europe and president trump. >> there's a lot of concern about what's happening here in the united states. i think a lot of foreign governments know that we have taken in a hun

from that assessment -- year with his assessment is vincent reinhart. he worked at the fed for 24 years and joins us now from brought -- boston. see you, thank you so much for joining us today. your take on looking at the fed is that you should not rely on the fed signals, the fed minute, the fed projections for any sign on what they should do next. why is that? >> if he were sitting here one year ago we would be talking about the policy tightening of 2016, but what happened is they found other things to worry about at each meeting until they about ran out of 2016 and had to slip one in in december. why do you think they will do three in 2017? events will probably improve. orther or not markets investors shouldn't, at the end of the day if you look at what has been driving the markets over the last couple of years, are we going to finally be moving past that? strategist saying that maybe it will be too, maybe it will be there's not a lot of volatility around it, it seems. the: that's a standard forecast a vincent: you've got standard forecast if you are assuming no early personnel changes induced from the white house side. if
