All right, lets get to the white house, President Trump speaking to members to have Border Patrol council at this very moment, but its tax cuts that have really got the white house buzzing, earlier white house economic adviser larry kudlow suggested that the president , indeed, wants to see tax cuts 2. 0 by september, if you remember he confirmed with liz claman when she was at the white house last month that, indeed, the president wants the tax cut proposal before the election, Edward Lawrence live with details, edward. Administration official that they want to put universal savings accounts in the packages, what those savings accounts would do, it would allow americans to invest tax free, over 1,000, a portion of the income outside of 401 k s, people making up to 200,000, also making tax cuts that are currently in the tax code permanent for americans as well as a possible 10 middleclass tack cut Going Forward before the election and as you heard, they want to roll out this plan in september before the election likely two months and we will get criticism, though, here is kudlow about it this morning. In the meeting in the oval i guess 2 days ago he looked at me and said lets get it out by september, ive been consulting with the house colleagues, my great friend kevin brady, i will be consulting with senate colleagues, weve got some great internal ideas and other outside advisers. They are talking about this but a plan like this is likely to get a lot of pushback, you would need the house of representatives to pass this, democrats not in the mood to really help the president or talking about tax cuts at this time, the Vice President has also talked about this today, about tax cuts 2. 0 coming through and the president , though, you know later on this afternoon ashley leaving more maralago, another interesting point, hes going fundraiser on saturday, one ticket will be 580,000, his most expensive ticket for his event but the big news at the white house tax cuts 2. 0, again, universal savings plan where he could have portion of your portion of your salary tax free invested.

First up new brands issuing 2020 sales and profit forecast below wall street expectations saying that thats because of a 1 hit they believe from supplyrelated issues from the Virus Outbreak in china, the consumer manufacturer also said that workers are returning to work after supply factories were shut down, brands up 3 as you can see in todays session.

On the heels to have worsening crisis Partner Global cio scott is calling the impact of the coronavirus as, quote, dramatic, he went onto say that the Financial Markets are showing a cognitive distance from economic reality and he says it will eventually all in very badly. So is he right or is he just fearmongering . Lets get to our traders and get their opinion, Timothy Anderson at the New York Stock Exchange, tim, is that fearmongering or are the markets blowing off the potential impact of the coronavirus . I just think hes doubling down on a very negative view hes had of the economy and the stock market for at least 3 years. So im just not im just taking his im applying to model, absolute low end, we are throwing those out and look at a few other things. A lot of positive developments on the economy. Ashley yes. At least end of this year and probably to 2021 depending on how the election goes. Ashley chris at the cme; is this a blackswan event that we are taking lightly or are markets cautious but acting reasonably . Well, i think if it impacts your Family Member its a blackswan event, right, the people that are getting sick there, its not good for them, i think we are guilty of fighting the last war, like the generals fight the last war, everybody keeps looking at what happened with sars and you dont see that happening, and this market as long as the fed and the bank of china are there to backstop it, why would you want to be short . Ashley yeah, its a good question, phil flynn, we are also winding down the corporate earnings season, pretty solid i would say, and to touch on something that tim talked about, the Economic Data pretty good, certainly Consumer Sentiment right around 15year highs, all of this despite the coronavirus points to a very positive outlook for the markets, right . Absolutely, i mean, tax cuts 2. 20 coming soon to theater near yaw, you dont want to be shorted of that kind of stuff. I absolutely do not. Look at this market, it has been incredible, thats why the guy from goodman is a little frustrated right now. Ashley yes. I have a Global Pandemic and i cant get a break in the market, give me a break, yeah, i think absolutely, you know, listen, this is showing how solid the economy is because its been able, just think of whats to overcome in the last 30 days, almost a war with iraq, we had a Global Pandemic, wild fires, i dont know what he can throw to get it to go down, now you add in the high possibility of tax cuts, you dont want to be short of this thing by the brakes.

Ashley democrat president ial candidate Bernie Sanders campaigning in crucial state of North Carolina today getting a jumpstart on super tuesday as its one of the 14 states set to vote but democrat primary remains in confusing state at the moment, one forecast model predicting that the vermont senator is the most likely person to win the democratic nomination while the other model says, theres a chance of there being no pledged delegate majority and we know that could lead to a contested convention. Wouldnt that be interesting . Our next guest is a democratic insider who says its clear the moderates are the silent majority in this race, the former chairman and ceo of ubs americas robert wolf in here live in the studio, robert, we talked about the brokered convention the last time we talked together, this is a real split in the Democrat Party and how is this going to play out, do you think . How its going to play out is one thing we just dont know. The 40 to 45 in the populist left lane and 55 to 60 in the moderate lane, everyone is a progressive in the party, everyone is for gun reform and Climate Change and Immigration Reform and health care as a right but the question is how do you coalesce around one person, we are not finding that, we were speaking about iowa and new hampshire, the one thing that they normally do they did not win other field n2008 it was between hillary, obama and edwards and 2016 between bernie and hillary, today we may have 6 or 7 candidates going to super tuesday. Theres a belief that as bernie certainly getting a lot of headlines right now that he will get torpedoed much like he did by Hillary Clinton in 20166 because the 2016 because the belief that bernie cant beat trump. The Conspiracy Theory that hillarys people torpedoed bernie isnt it true. Ashley Podesta Emails showed they were not happy with bernie. Not surprising its a competition. Thats for another topic. Ashley indeed. Away from that, theres a nervousnesses with someone like bernie being the nominee. Ashley too far left . The country is not raising their hand for medicare for all. The Democrat Party this time around will absolutely unify whoever the candidate is, i would say they like bernie more than trump. I would say that differently more than President Trump. Ashley fair enough. Can they coalesce and get behind a billionaire Mike Bloomberg, you know, he could end up being the nominee . He could be the nominee, theres no question that, you know, his money is making a difference right now, hes in 15 in the national polls. Ashley how does that sit with sanders and warren who take every opportunity to bash the very rich . Right now, its a competition, primary competition and people should compete and they should vet bloomberg, he has not been on debate stage yet, you know, they are hitting him on some of the past things, that being said, we have a whole primary season to go through, then we have the convention, if Mike Bloomberg is the nominee, my view is people coalesce around that, if its bernie the nominee, they will coalesce around him. No one can get the 1900 delegates. Ashley we have not mentioned up to now which leads me to believe hes done joe biden. I totally disagree that hes done. I think he will win in south carolina, texas has him number 2 and thats a good sign for joe and hes raised a decent amount of money. Ashley is he up for the rigors of the campaign, i mean, look, im not going to harp on his age, hes had a lot of gaffes and hes gaffe prone and he struggled out there. I think when youre on the debate stage you wish you had ashley sure. I ran a big bank, we call them wolfyisms, two words together and i say, oh, my god, what a gaffe that is, weve all made gaffes, listen, theres nobody who has been on the debate stage that i think can actually unify the country more today than someone like joe biden. Ashley i need a lot of [laughter] Ashley Robert wolf, i wish we had more time. Thanks for having me on.

Retailers, Commerce Department showing retail sales climbed well, modestly, we will call it that in january with sales at Clothing Stores falling a steep 3. 1 , thats the biggest decline by the way since 2009 but with this years valentines day spending on pace we are told for a record, retailers finally feel the love on valentines day, joining to discuss this and more retail analyst. Thanks for having me. Ashley i thought it was a after holiday period, right . It is. When youre seeing big headlines about coronavirus, retailers exposure to china, given the coronavirus, i think when you see a slow do you know with retail sales especially in january people tend to panic, youre absolutely right, things start to slow down and retailers, i think, also the spending shifted a little, its not necessarily people buying apparel like they are used to. People are spending more money in restaurants and going out. Ashley experiencing as they say. Experiences. Ashley someone said to me, make sure you ask about gallentine, a group of women bashing men . No, came up for parks and recreation episode, its called gallentines day, so you see me with my gals here. Ashley look at you. Very cool. Imaginesociety okay and we get to gala for the mission, we were all together hanging out. According to Retail Federation this impacts valentines spending, people are spending 30 more on friend and family versus significant other. Ashley interesting it. Quite significant, is it not . It is. Ashley whenever we talk about retail, retail ice age, so, my gosh, so many Stores Coming and going, classic names along with it, how do you see this new year playing out, are we going to see more Traditional Stores going away to ecommerce . So what is happening right now with the stores, and ive said this a lot, when after the recession i think retailers assume that people were going to go back to spending spending tht they were, as weve been covering for a long time together, as we saw, people didnt, they were scared, the economy came back but people the mind of the consumer was very different. So what we are seeing now is stores are consolidating, macys getting rid of anchor stores for smaller footprint. Retailers like nordstrom joining forces with resailers, you are able to get resold clothes in nordstrom, the whole model is changing with retailers, we are seeing that, really impact the bottom line, big big footprints doing make stores money. Ashley sorry to cut it short, we have the president speaking to Border Patrol council, we are listening in. Live right now. Him and the little group, i hope that guy runs and that was before i met the decision to run actually, you were there before the beginning, right . I want to thank you all and he loves our country, your whole group loves our country and so i heard about you being here and i said if you want me brandon, im yours, if you dont, thats okay too, i can save a little time. [laughter] lets have the president walk over, i just numbers just came out, 90 of americans are satisfied with their personal life, i dont i dont know how u define personal life because that could be a very big definition, but it just came out of gallu and 90 of americans satisfied. 63 of americans are satisfied with President Trumps handling to have economy, thats a very high number, highest in over 2 yards, 6 in 10 are better off financially, tremendous optimism which is a big thing and 61 of the voters approve of trumps handling of the coronavirus and, you know, we did a very early move on that, we did i was criticized by a lot of people at the beginning because we were the first we had never done it before, we closed our borders to certain areas, its never happened before where we did that, we never closed our borders but we did it and actually did it early and we took criticism, now everyone is saying we did a good job and chad, youve done a fantastic job and i appreciate it, you and your whole crew. 72 republicans say that and we are what do you have of first small number of people in the country right now with it, its like around 12, many of them are getting better, some are fully recovered already. So we are in very good shape. Ashley we have been listening to President Trump, going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Limu emu doug and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu doug with this key to the city. [ applause ] its an honor to tell you that Liberty Mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. And now we need to get back to work. [ applause and band playing ] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Ashley all right, can we turn things around, s p an nasdaq back in the green and of course, final minutes of the trade, the dow also coming back off 63 points, the nasdaq up 5 points, if we can get a gain of 13. 99 on the nasdaq, that would be another record close, thank you Senior EditorCharlie Brady for that little factoid, again, s p you can see just barely in the positive and the dow, down well over 100 points is now down just 65, maybe investors are not taking all of their money as they head into this long holiday weekend, lets take a quick look at the transports if we can, thats always seen as forecast for the economy, the dow transports down 130 points, so anyway, maybe not read too much into that, a market thats been weighing pretty positive Economic News against, of course, the fears of the coronavirus and that will do. The trade averages, though, you look at the averages they are up for the week, so that is certainly a positive and thats 2 weeks in a row by the way, so not bad, all right, lets change subjects here, lets get to tesla, certainly being the talk of the markets in 2020 and, of course, all the stock action that we have seen on this company and now the sec is taking aim once again, what guess who is going to break it charlie gasparino. What is going on . Musk got in trouble for saying funding secured at what number 420. Ashley now here we are. You would think that the sey would go away since stock is at and investors didnt lose any money even though they initially did and we know and understand based on sec filings, this has gone from teslas own sec filing that they still face what appears to be a serious sec and maybe even potential doj investigation. Ashley related to what . Two things, sec sent him another subpoena on financials and financial condition, so i guess they are look if they properly disclose that financial that stuff. Doj has sent a letter, i dont know if it matters if its voluntary or not, companies try to down play these things by saying voluntary, if the doj if you dont voluntary pretty amazing. If you dont give them the information voluntary then you you have to give it. Ashley first polite request. The second, doj is still looking at it. According to tesla themselves musk 420 statement, they are investigating whether that was manipulative of the market. Ashley i thought that had gone away. Via the sec, he settled something with sec but the doj and this is coming out of San Francisco office from what i understand is separate and if you look at this, they are still looking at it, now, a couple of points to investors if youre looking to if youre worried about this as existential threat to the stock, the trump doj has been pretty reticent in terms of cracking down on whitecollar crime. The Justice Department and the sec, you know, theyve taken a much more friendlier to corporate america, all you have to do is look at the sec settlement with musk, he paid a few bucks, the thing went away. Ashley yeah. The doj, a criminal probe that does something to the comp just reading tealeaves doesnt seem like thats in the card, if its out there, its out there. Thats one thing. The other thing with tesla i would say i think this company is going to make it or break it on the numbers. When you have a high stock valuation as you have now, you can borrow money all day long. Ashley sure. Everybody will lend you market, you can go to the market, secondary offering, they are trying to raise 2 billion, they are pricing 750 or so. Ashley i dont think youre helping the stock right nit is. We talked about it in my tweet about this, so ashley way to go, charlie. Sorry, guys, if you own tesla. [laughter] marco owns tesla. Ashley does he really . Just the real question, you know, the financials, you know, remember, elon musk said a couple of weeks ago when they during a Conference Call when they had better than expected earnings; i think the stock hit 800 at that point. Ashley he was dancing in shanghai and the sentiment around him thats a great name for album. Dancing in shanghai, he also said we dont need to raise money and that makes me think that the company is saying, okay, we got the high valuation, we better get as much capital as we can, we have all the commitments to build cars, to build plants and we need to cash in on an 800dollar stock price because it will not last forever. It keeps going down, what the hell . Ashley way to go, charlie. For investors out there you didnt hear much about the sec and doj stuff, it was glossed over by the stock price and secondary offering which they will have plenty of takers given the sort of ashley yeah. It is out there. Investors should worry about that and worry about why they needed to raise money after elon musk said they shouldnt, so hes they are suggesting that the 800dollar stock price in my view will not last forever, they have financial commitments. Ashley how much of that is a short squeeze . I think that squeezed over already, the real question jim i dont know. Ashley who knows . Thats where you are right now. If they throw the towel, who knows, maybe 6,000 ashley some people have said that, charlie gasparino, great stuff. Lets move on the closing bell is ringing in just about ten minutes from now, coming up next today is countdown closer has no love for any sector of this e are companies that are hisay heart raise races, lets find out what they are when the claman countdown comes invested at a great rate.

President trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force Drug Companies to lower prices. But the senate wont act. Tell Senate Leaders to stop Drug Company Price Gouging and lower drug prices now. Apps except work. Rywhere. Why is that . Is it because people love filling out forms . Maybe they like checking with their supervisor to see how much Vacation Time they have.

Markets lets take a look closing bell coming up in just about 6 minutes from now, the dow desperately trying to turn things around, the nasdaq getting close to record close, we are almost there, the nasdaq is up 11 points, s p up slightly, dow up 36 points. Lets get down to susan li live on the floor with the New York Stock Exchange with some of this weeks biggest losers and winners, susan . Lets start with the dow, earnings has driven the stock movers as well, nike, one of the best performers, up 4 , we are talking about show that we showed this weekend, 400 thats all that its going to cost, visa up as well, renewing their Multiyear Partnership with barkleys and United Healthcare getting bids, Health Insurers has been the story the last few weeks because it looks like those medicare for all Bernie Sanders and even the Elizabeth Warren arent as popular as some had expected in democratic 2020 race, dow lowers, merck, verizons as for the s p, again, earnings driving the story, nvidia great earnings after the bell yesterday, tmobile and the merger with sprint finally being approved and looks like telecom there hitting record highs as well, after for the losers under armour funder performing, they will take a 50, 60 milliondollar hit from coronavirus, warren buffet invested, still not performing as well as as omaha had wished. As you see, its earnings driven story, long weekend, a lot of people dont want to hold risk into it. Ashley very good, susan li, thank you very much at New York Stock Exchange. Keeping an eye on the nasdaq, right now at the close right here up 14. 49 points that would be another record close for the nasdaq, so its touch and go, now one below it, whatever. Love should be in the air, of course, on valentines day but todays countdown closer may be breaking hearts today, we become clear bridge Investment Portfolio Management michael clifell. First time accused of being a heartbreaker. Yes. Ashley with that said, michael, why dont you like any particular segment ever . Whats going on . Come on. I think what we say is that weve had a terrific start to the year in 2020, real continuation of what we saw, theres a part that feels like momentum. The market was up 30 last year and markets up 5, that disconnect cant forever. While we continue to be positive given decent Economic Activity and decent low Interest Rates we are not finding anything or any sector in particular that takes us as being particularly attractive or relieve value. Ashley we need a sad where would i put my money . Well, tepid is a good word. A few selects, sort of individual names that we are finding, not so much a particular sector. Ashley lets look at your picks, comcast, wellknown name. Comcast is, a bunch of things we like about comcast.
