Transcripts For CNBC Power Lunch 20131001

Rejected the houses effort to appoint what they call a conferries to go to a house nate negotiation. The house sent their con ferries to that negotiation anyway and pointed out that there were no Senate Negotiators in the room with them. The house members said theyre extremely upset about that, very frustrated. Now at this hour, weve got House Republicans meeting in a room in the basement of this building in the house of representatives trying to figure out what the strategy is for the rest of the day. Heres the president. Good morning, everybody. At midnight last night can everybody hear me . Mike working . Good morning. At midnight last night, for first time in 17 years, the republicans in congress chose to shut down the federal government. Let me be more specific. One faction of one partyin one house of congress in one branch of government, shut down major parts of the government. All because they didnt like one law. This republican shutdown did not have to happen, but i want every american to understand why it did happen. Republicans in the house of representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care act. Theyve shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny Affordable Health insurance to millions of americans. In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job. And many representatives, including an increasing number of republicans have made it clear that had they been allowed by speaker ba er baer bane boeh an up or down vote with keeping the government open with no partisan Strings Attached enough votes from both parties would have kept the americas peoples government open and operating. We may not know the full impact of this shutdown for some time. It will depend on how long it lasts. We do know a couple things. We know that the last time republicans shut down the government in 1996, it hurt our economy. And up like 1996, our economy is still recovering from the worst recession in generations. We know that Certain Services and benefits that americas seniors and veterans and Business Owners depend on, must be put on hold. Certain offices along with every National Park and monument must be closed. And while last night i signed legislation to make sure our 1. 4 million active duty military are paid through the shutdown, hundreds of thousands of civilian workers, many still on the job, many forced to stay home, arent being paid, even if they have families to support and local businesses that rely on them. And we know that the longer this shutdown continues, the worse the effects will be. More families will be hurt, more businesses will be harmed. So once again, i urge House Republicans to reopen the government, restart the Services Americans depend on, and allow the Public Servants who have been sent home, to return to work. This is only going to happen when republicans realize they dont get to hold the entire economy hostage over ideological demands. As ive said repeatedly i am prepared to work with democrats and republicans to do the things we need to do to grow the economy and create jobs and get our fiscal house in order over the long run. Although i should add, this shutdown isnt about deficits or spending or budgets. After all, our deficits are falling at the fastest pace in 50 years. Weve cut them in half since i took office. In fact, many of the demands the republicans are now making, would actually raise our deficits. This shutdown is not about d deficits its not about budgets its about rolling back our efforts to provide Health Insurance to folks who dont have it. Its all about rolling back the Affordable Care act. This, more than anything else, seems to be what the Republican Party stands for these days. I know its strange that one party would make keeping people uninsured the centerpiece of their agenda. But that apparently what is it is. And, of course, whats stranger still, is that shutting down our government doesnt accomplish their stated goal. The Affordable Care act is a law that passed the house, it passed the senate, the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional, it was a central issue in last years election, it is settled and it is here to stay. And because of its funding sources, its not impacted by a Government Shutdown. And these americans are here with me today because even though the government is closed a big part of the Affordable Care act is now open for business. And for them, and millions like them, this is a historic day for a good reason. Its been a long time coming. But today americans who have been forced to go without insurance, can now visit health care. Gov and enroll in affordable plans that offer quality coverage. That starts today. People will have six months to sign up. So over the next six months people will have the opportunity in many cases for the first time in their lives, to get affordable coverage that they desperately need. Now, of course, if youre one of the 85 of americans who already have Health Insurance, you dont need to do a thing. Youre benefiting from new benefits and protections that have been in place for some time under this law. But for the 15 of americans who dont have Health Insurance, this opportunity is life changing. Let me just tell folks a few stories that are represented here today. Few years ago Amanda Barrett left her job in new york to take care of her parents and for a while she had temporary insurance that covered her multiple sclerosis. When it expired many insurers wouldnt cover her because of her ms. She ended up paying 1200 a month. Thats nowhere near affordable. Starting today she can get covered for much less because todays new plan cant use your medical history to charge you more than anybody else. Sky high premiums forced nancy beagle to choose between paying her rent or paying for her Health Insurance. Shes been uninsured ever since. She pays all her medical bills out of pocket puts some on her credit card making them harder to pay. Nancy says, they talk about those who fall through the cracks. I fell through the cracks ten years ago, and ive been stuck there ever since. Well, starting today, nancy can get covered just like everybody else. Edwards was laid off from her job. Six months diagnosed with a tumor. She couldnt afford insurance on the individual market. She hasnt received treatment yet. Her daughter lenase a student at the university of maryland is considering dropping out of school to help pay her moms bills. Starting today, thanks to the Affordable Care act, treynase can get covered without forcing her daughter to give up on her dreams. These stories of hardworking americans sound familiar to you, well, starting today, you and your friends and your family and coworkers, can get covered too. Just visit healthcare. Gov compare insurance plans side by side the way you shop for a plane ticket on kayak or tv on amazon. You enter some basic information, youll be presented with a list of quality affordable plans that are available in your area with clear descriptions of what each plan covers and what it will cost. Youll find more choices, more competition, and in many cases, lower prices. Most uninsured americans will find that they can get covered for 100 or less. You dont have to take my word for it. Go on the website, healthcare. Gov check it out for yourself and show it to your family and friends. And help them get covered just like mayors and churches and Community Groups and companies are already fanning out to do across the country. And theres a hotline where you can apply over the phone. And get help with the application. We we or just get questions answered. The number is 18003182596. 18003182596. Check out healthcare. Gov, call that number, show your family and friends how to use it, and we can get America Covered once and for all so that the struggles that these folks have gone through and millions around the country have gone through for years, finally get addressed. Let me just remind people why i think this is so important. I heard a striking statistic yesterday. If you get cancer, you are 70 more likely to live another five years if you have insurance than if you dont. Think about that. That is what it means to have Health Insurance. Set aside the issues of security and finances and how youre impacted by that. The stress involved in not knowing whether or not youre going to have health care. This is life or death stuff. Tens of thousands of americans die each years just because they dont have Health Insurance. Millions more live with the fear that theyll go broke if they get sick. And today, we begin to free millions of our fellow americans from that fear. Already, millions of young adults have been able to stay on their parents plans until they turn 26, millions of seniors have already gotten a discount on their prescription medicines, already millions of families have actually received rebates from Insurance Companies that didnt spend enough on their health care, so this law means more choice, more competition, lower costs, for millions of americans. This law doesnt just mean Economic Security for our families, it means were finally addressing the biggest drivers of our longterm deficits. It means a stronger economy. Remember, most republicans have made a whole bunch of predictions about this law that havent come true. There are no death panels. Costs havent sky rocketed. Theyre growing at the slowest race in 50 years. The last three years since i signed the Affordable Care act into law are the three slowest rates of Health Spending growth on record. Contrary to republican claims this law hasnt destroyed our economy, our businesses have created 7. 5 million new jobs. Just today we learned that our manufacturers are growing at the fastest rate in 2. 5 years. They have factored in Affordable Care act. They dont think its a problem. Whats weighing on the economy is not the Affordable Care act but the constant series of crises and unwillingness to pass a reasonable budget by a faction of the Republican Party. Like every new law, every new product rollout, there are going to be glitches in the signup process along the way that we will fix. For example, we found out that there have been times this morning where the site has been running more slowly than it normally will. The reason is because more than 1 Million People visited healthcare. Gov before 7 00 in the morning. Put that in context, there were five times more users in the marketplace this morning than have ever been on medicare. Gov at one time. That gives you a sense of how important this is to millions of americans around the country. Thats a good thing. And were going to be speeding this up in the next few hours to handle all this demand that exceeds anything that we had expected. Consider that just a couple weeks ago, apple rolled out a new mobile operating system and within days, they found a glitch. So they fixed it. I dont remember anybody suggesting apple should stop selling iphones or ipads or threatening to shut down the company if they didnt. Thats not how we do things in america. We dont actively root for failure. We get to work, make things happen, make them better, we keep going. In that context ill work with anybody who has a serious idea to make the Affordable Care act work better, but as long as i am president i will not give in to reckless demands by some in the Republican Party to deny Affordable Health insurance to millions of hardworking americans. I want republicans in congress to know, these are the americans youd hurt if you were allowed to dismantle this law. Americans like amanda and nancy and treynase, who now finally have the opportunity for basic security and peace of mind of Health Care Like everybody else, including members of congress, the notion that youd make a condition for reopening the government that i make sure these folks dont have health care. That doesnt make any sense. It doesnt make any sense. Now, let me make one closing point. This republican shutdown threatens our economy at a time when millions of americans are still looking for work and businesses are starting to get some traction. So the timing is not good. Of course, a lot of the republicans in the house ran for office two years ago promising to shut down the government. And so apparently theyve now gottenen their wish. But as ive said before the irony that the House Republicans have to contend with is, theyve shut down a whole bunch of parts of the government but the Affordable Care act is still open for business. And this may be why you got happen republican governors and senators and growing number of reasonable republican congressmen who are telling the extreme right of their party to knock it off. Pass a budget. Move on. I want to underscore the fact that congress doesnt have to just end this shutdown and reopen the government. Congress generally has to stop governing by crisis. They have to break this habit. It is a drag on the economy. It is not worthy of this country. For example, one of the most important Things Congress has do in the next couple weeks is to raise whats called the debt ceiling. Its important to understand what this is. This is a routine vote. Congress has taken this vote 45 times to raise the debt ceiling since Ronald Reagan took office. It does not cost taxpayers a single dime. It does not grow our deficits by a single dime. It does not authorize anybody to spend any new money whatsoever. All it does is authorize the treasury to pay the bills on what congress has already spent. Think about that. If you buy a car and youve got a car note, you do not save money but not paying your car note. Youre just a deadbeat. If you buy a house, you dont save money by not authorizing yourself to pay the mortgage. Youre just going to be foreclosed on your home. Thats what this is about. It is routine, it is what theyre supposed to do. This is not a concession to me, not some demand thats unreasonable that im making. This is what congress is supposed to do as a routine matter. And they shouldnt wait until the last minute to do it. The last time republicans even threatened this course of action, many of you remember, back in 2011, our economy staggered, our Credit Rating was downgraded for the first time, they go through with it this time and force the United States to default on its obligations for the first time in history, it will be far more dangerous than a Government Shutdown, as bad as a shutdown is. It would be an economic shutdown. So ill speak more on this in the coming days, but let me repeat, i will not negotiate over Congress Responsibility to pay bills its already racked up. Im not going to allow anybody to drag the good name of the United States of america through the mud just to refight a settled election or extract ideological demands. Nobody gets to hurt our economy and millions of hardworking families over a law you dont like. There are a whole bunch of things i would like to see passed through congress that the House Republicans havent passed yet. Im not out there saying, well, im going to let america default unless congress does something that they dont want to do. Thats not how adults operate. Certainly thats not how our government should operate. Thats true whether theres a democrat in this office or a republican in this office. Doesnt matter whether its a Democratic House of representatives or republican controlled house of representatives. Theres certain rules that everybody abides by because we dont want to hurt other people just because we have a political disagreement. So my basic message to congress is this, pass a budget, end the Government Shutdown. Pay your bills. Prevent an economic shutdown. Dont wait. Dont delay. Dont put our economy or our people through this any longer. Im more than happy to work with them on all kinds of issues. I want to get back to work on the things that the American People sent us here to work on. Creating new jobs, new growth, new security for our middle class. Were better than this. Certainly the American People are a lot better than this. I believe that what weve accomplished for amanda and nancy and treynase and tens of millions of their fellow citizens on this day proves that even when the odds are long and obstacles are many, we are and always will be a country that can do great things together. Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. Thank you, all of you, for the great work that youre doing, and thank you, kathleen sebelius, for the outstanding work shes doing making sure that millions of americans can get Health Insurance. Thank you. There is president obama in about a 20minute address concluding by saying to congress, pass a budget, end the Government Shutdown, pay your bills, avoid an economic shutdown. A reference to what he thinks would happen if the debt ceiling is not raised in about two weeks time. John harwood with us and eamon javers. John, among the many things that we could talk about here, let me talk about some of the rhetoric that was used there. The president at least a half dozen times referred to this as the republican shutdown. Republicans on the hill call it harry reids shutdown. Whos whipping that battle . Winning that battle . The president and democrats are winning that battle. You can see it in various ways. A quinnipiac poll that shows the democrats have the high side of the argument. When you ask people do is the reason we have grid lock in washington because president obama lacks personal skills or because republicans are trying to block everything that obama is doing, 55 say its because republicans are trying to block, 33 say obama. Theres no doubt that a plurality at least of the public is going to ascribe the shutdown more to republicans because it is, in fact, republicans who have brought this situation about because of the demands theyre making. That doesnt mean however, that there will be effective pressure on those republicans because of the nature of congressional districts in this country. So many republicans and so Many Democrats live in districts that are overwhelmingly tilted toward their party. That insulates them from political pressure and its going to be interesting to see the interplay between the national numbers, the national blame and the angst that republican strategists feel, the speaker feels, versus the protection that individual members of congress have from reaction of people elsewhere. You know, eamon, the president made it very clear, several times, that he is not going to negotiate on the Affordable Care act, that it is a law that has been tested by the Supreme Court, it is a law that is now put into effect, despite the shutdown, so hes not going to back down. Is anybody going to blink . Well, thats the question, sue, and that refusal to negotiate by the president and democrats is something that really wrangles republicans here on capitol hill. Earlier today they appointed conferys to go to a Conference Committee between the republican controlled house and Democrat Controlled Senate and negotiate and the senate didnt appoint anybody to go to that negotiation so the republicans ended up sitting in a room by themselves trying to negotiate with empty chairs, making the point, though, very visually that hey, were here to negotiate and its the democrats who dont want to negotiate with us. Very clearly youre seeing an effort here to place blame. You see the president referring to a republican shutdown, the republicans saying the democrats arent negotiating with us. Both sides pointing their fingers both ways but as john says, the polling shows that it seems clear at least initially where the blame is going to land from the public. The question is whether those republicans feel any political pain from that up here because again, as john says, their districts are so conservative theyre elected by such a conservative group. This will play well with the folks who sent these to washington. Thank you very much. Well leave it there. Were not by any means going to leave this topic. We will go back to capitol hill for a democrat and republican on how we can potentially break the deadlock and get the Government Back to work. Well do that when we return after this short break. [ engine revs, tires squeal ] [ male announcer ] since we began, mercedesbenz has pioneered many breakthroughs. Breakthroughs in design. Breakthroughs in safety. In engineering. And technology.

We learned a lot of us have known someone whos lived well into their 90s. And thats a great thing. But even though were living longer, one thing that hasnt changed much is the official retirement age. The question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. On the Government Shutdown and the market fallout. Joining us from capitol hill, representative renee elmers and representative bill pascal, a democrat from new jersey. Welcome to both of you. Congresswoman elmers the president referred in his remarks there to members of the House Republican conference and house and senate republicans, who he says are, quote, telling the extreme right to knock it off and move on. Who are they . Who are those people who are telling the extreme right to knock it off and move on . I havent heard them. Im not sure what he is referring to. I do believe that is just political rhetoric from our president. Actually highlighting the inefficiencies and lack of leadership he has put forward. Weve got to stay on defense and in the republican conference were united. Were fighting together and yes, there is diversity amongst our conference and thats a good thing for the American People. Were here to fight. The worse fears were realized last night. Weve now added chaos and Economic Disaster of obama care going into effect to now a shutdown which is chaos and Economic Disaster. Congressman passcal, the president said, i will not negotiate with congress over its responsibility to pay bills it has already rung up. But uncomfortably, senator obama once voted against raising the debt ceiling when george bush was president of this country. How does he square his position today, with that vote then . Well, hell have to explain that. There are two different situations. Weve tried over 18 times to have a conference in the last five months on the budget. Republicans have been complaining that the senate and Democratic Senators never passed the budget over the last three, four years. So what happens . We all pass it on time, the house passed their budget on time and then we said lets get the conferries together. We could have had four months of negotiation. This is total bull. If you look at the facts, look at the chronology it is very clear, they planned this from the very beginning and now they got whatever they can accomplish, i dont know. If you look at what mccain said and peter king said in the house of representatives, theyve had it up to their eyeballs. Its not 50 or 70 republicans renegging but its very outspoken republicans who have always had courage even when we disagree, it doesnt matter. Theyve had a lot of guts, those two guys. We have to leave it there. We lost about 23 minutes of our show to the president there. Congresswoman elmers and bill passcal, thank you for being here. My pleasure. Thank you. Were going to check in on gold prices. Ugly day in the pits for those on the wrong side of this trade. Sharon epperson, tracking the action for us at the nymex. Hi. Hi, sue. Definitely dont want to be a bull today. Gold prices down more than 40, 1285. Looks to be around the Closing Price today and were seeing the slide that started this morning, not necessarily completely related to the Government Shutdown although traders say that is an antiinflationary move for gold price. Add to that the technical momentum after one big seller sold quite a bit in the Early Morning hours, near the time of the floor opening and that has continued also fitch coming out today saying that 1200 may not be the floor for gold prices going forward. We may see prices go lower in light of the economy and debt ceiling debate. Back to you. Thank you very much, sharon. You know, one sector of the market thats been flying very high this year, pun intended up 40 , ticking higher despite the beginning of a Government Shutdown. Legendary investor bill mason was on squawk box this morning speaking about that sector. Ive heard jim cramer talk about the shutdown a negative for airlines, it is a short term. An opportunity to buy them if they go down very much. Are the airlines a good buying opportunity. Today in our trading session were up 100 points on the Dow Jones Industrial on the transports and, of course, the airlines play into that. Abigail, Technical Strategist with the Seaport Group joins us. The transports are strong. What about the airlines in general as you look at the numbers from a technical and fundamental perspective, do you like them . Sue no question the airlines are coming off a strong summer for several reasons. Positive tail winds if you will. First, capacity has been, you know, very high, planes have been full. Second the airlines have been able to charge premium pricing and third, jet fuel has been a neutral. All is priced in the stocks. Theyve had a Beautiful Run up. We have possible near term nifs. I think investors may want to consider locking in profits. One stock that stands out is delta air lines. The stock up more than 100 this year. 15 of that just over the last couple weeks after it was addeds to the s p 500. I think we see this stock consolidate down towards 19 over the next couple months even correct furtherer. Time to take profits. Taking profits on delta. Jim, with Tjm Institutional Services joins us, you happen to like southwest, why . I like a lot of the airlines. Dell its one of the ones i like too. When i trade the Airline Stocks i look at its relationship to crude oil. Crude oil has come off a lot over the last couple weeks. It has to it with theyre taking out the price premiums built in based on the middle east. Airline stocks love breaking crude oil prices provided its not because people view this as an economic slowdown. I dont think that any of the markets are considering the Government Shutdown as an enormous deal yet. I cite as evidence the fact that stock market is up 14 today in the s p. I like some of the Airline Stocks. I like southwest the best. Settles above 1476, technically it looks good and i think its worth a shot. All right. Jim and abigail, thank you very much. Really appreciate it. Lets check the Interest Rates scenario. With the stock market on edge about washington, we did see a flight into the treasury market yesterday. Right now we do see the yield on the tenyear note holding at just about 2. 652 . On the fiveyear note were actually at 1. 419 . The biggest move in yields today has been in both the shortest end of the curve twoyear and fiveyear note in terms of percentage moves. The Dow Jones Industrial average up 64 points. Transports up an even 100 right now. More coming up on power lunch on the markets and washington. When ty and i come back. [ indistinct shouting ] [ indistinct shouting ] [ male announcer ] time and sales data. Splitsecond stats. [ indistinct shouting ] its so close to the options floor. [ indistinct shouting, bell dinging ]. Youll bust your brain box. All on thinkorswim from td ameritrade. All right. Welcome back. Were watching the markets in the midst of the government showdown. Bob pisani joins me. We should do this more often, shut the government down. Send your emails to bob, not me. A broad one, three to one. Transports are very strong. Yeah overall nice rally. Heres the important thing all the sectors everybody thought might be weak not happening. Not a lot of move when president obama was speaking. The first real government official, highlevel official to speak on the shutdown, didnt move the stock market. The sectors people were talking about might be affected. Nothing is happening. Defense stocks, moodys came out yesterday and specifically said that they are very exposed here and they specifically mentioned Lockheed Martin and Alliance Tech systems. No influence here at all. How about mortgages, fha says theyre going to continue to approve Mortgage Applications even though they will have a reduced staff. The ones exposed to firsttime home builders, no problems here. Ipos, the sec told me yesterday, we have carryover funds and theyre going to continue to process ipos. They have to approve any new ipos. Three big ones because all brand names, burlington stores, also a couple others, em prior realty, Empire State Building and remax. A lot of real estate stuff coming tonight looks fine. At least we have an orderly market in which they can price. The main idea seems to be the big hope is that somehow we can roll all these deals up, continuing resolution as well as the debate over the debt ceiling, somehow in the next week or so and make a deal. To do that you essentially have to have a continuing resolution another week or so and thats what people are looking for. I dont knee. Seems crazy optimistic to me. I think so given the language were hearing from capitol hill. Up town to the nasdaq where we have a strong gain and sheila is handicapping the movers. No shortage of optimism here at the nasdaq markets here. The nasdaq composite hitting levels we have not seen since 2000. A lot of big movers to talk about and familiar names, names we had been talking about a lot over the past couple quarters. Bioteches, celgene hitting new record highs. Yahoo that stock a boost from citigroup, under their price target on the stock. The mobile ad momentum the company is seeing. Netflix another big winner on the day up as much as 3 after a positive price target from mkm partners. Thanks very much.

Those days might be over as boomers heading into retirement apparently are carrying large mort gains. So how did boomers get into trouble . George Washington University economics professor ana Maria Lusardi studied this topic and told us, quote, people have bought larger homes, borrowed more to buy because of lower down payment requirements and we see the debt has increased. The ratio of mortgage debt to the value of their house has gone up but its not just homes. Debt all around for preretirees is growing. More than 70 of boomers are holding debt, up from 64 12 years ago. The median amount for boomers ages 56 to 61, has more than ca dropled from a little more than 6,000 to just over 28,000. This could mean possible delays in retirement and downgrading in terms of their homes. Ty, up to you. Thank you very much. The best of the best north versus south.

Well continue our look this week at extraordinary homes for sale around the country. You got to love this. Taking a little vicarious stuff. Eyepopping properties fit for a Dallas Oil Baron and to the north magnificent mile homes suitable for chicago billiona e billionair billionaires. Her robbie and jamie. All right. Folks, welcome. Good to have you with us. Lets start in chicago, jamie. No start in dallas, robbie, with a place on inwood road asking 19 million. It is a chateau. Describe it, tell me why its so special. Its very special. Its in the heart of our estate area, preston hallow, which is just north of downtown by five minutes, ten minutes max. And the house is on five acres and its not that often that you find property with that much acreage, that secluded and special and obviously if you look at the pictures of it, the house is mag negative sapts. Six bedrooms, 14,000 square feet. Its got wine cellars to video rooms to its magnificent. 14,000 square feet. Do you happen to know the taxes on it . Well, you know, our tax rate in texas is about 2. 75, so you can do the math. I can do the math on that. To the quickly but i can do it. Lets move on here and check in with you, jamie. I dont think theres a nicer in town neighborhood than the gold coast in chicago. You got one on east cedar, 5. 1 million. I do. Thats a limestone facade home originally built in 2010. 7800 square feet. We dont have quite the acreage but we have good Square Footage on that one. We have walnut flooring in that home. Mic deghoul yo designed custom kitchen. Theater room, elevator, terrace on the rooftop that has a bar with amazing skyline views and youre going to be a half a block to the lake. That is just great. Built in 2010, isnt that unusual . Those houses are mostly older than that. Its kind of its going to fit in nicely with all the homes that have been there 100 years and original kind of chicago barons. The home fits very nicely. Robbie, back to dallas, i think weve got number three is robinson ranch, about 3. 5 acres, asking 25 million. Tell me. No 3600 acres. Im sorry. Oh, i beg your pardon. I misread it. 3600 acres in the heart of the hill country which is an hour from austin and an hour a little bit more from san antonio. Blanco county.

But the company Just Announced in august its going to be laying off 4,000 people to reduce costs. Its kind of hard to take that pay raise when doing those kind of layoffs.
