2. 6 of gdp, the lowest level since 2007. That is down slightly from the fiscal 2014 deficit of 483 billion. Cbo also now projecting Economic Growth of 2. 8 for 2015. The big picture here for investors for now is that deficits are way down since the financial crisis and stable as a percentage of gdp but only for a few more years according to the cbo. Then without any big changes to taxes or spending especially in entitlements deficits start to grow again as a percentage of gdp, hitting 1. 1 trillion in 2025, a decade from now and 4 of projected gdp that year. Debt will pile on debt, creating quote, serious negative consequences for the economy and policymakers eventually heightening the risk of a fiscal crisis. Melissa. Melissa peter, all right the numbers are so big they might as well be in pesos were up to our debt in eyeballs. Isnt that what he just said . Lets bring in our very own Charlie Gasparino Dan Henninger editorial page director wall street journal. Lis wiehl is here fox news analyst. It is ridiculous. Were up to eyeballs in debt. It shows how important it is to grow the economy to implement progrowth policies. When the economy grows guess what the deficit shrinks things get better. Melissa half a trilliondollars in debt. Here is the other thing it shows that, they din point this out specifically the cost of obamacare is essentially backloaded isnt that the problem with it . Let me pick up on charlies point, the cbo does the growth projections. I think that is down what they projected last year. Melissa who cares . Theyre numbers. Exactly. They will never pay it off. Melissa they will never pay it off is bottom line. Never paying off, a power shift in greece stoking fears of instability in the eurozone. The far left syriza Party Winning a decisive victory vowing to end austerity agreements and germany says greece must honor the terms of their bailout. Dan . I have a lot of sympathy for the greeks tell you the truth. Melissa you do . The look, the plan imposed on them has been big spending cuts and higher taxes. This is what the International Monetary fund always imposes. There is no light at end of the tunnel. No ability to grow because there are no progrowth policies. They got themselves in that position. I know im just not the legal lady here not the political lady didnt they get themselves here. Melissa are we heading down the same road . This is done again and again by imf. The countries get in trouble. Turn to the imf for loans and help. Imf impose happy not just making keynes happy but karl marx. You have to raise taxes and size of Government Programs and kills any sort of entrepreneurialism in this country. When was the last entrepreneur to come out of greece italy and spain . Thinking of which that is the next one. Portugal italy and spain. Melissa all a domino effect. Okay. Hawkeye state alive with sounds of republican hopefuls laying ground for 2015 at iowa freedom summit. With frontrunners, mitt romney and jeb bush conspicuously absent. Scott walker and Carly Fiorina made the most of their opportunity. Why Hillary Clinton . I too traveled hundreds of Thousands Miles around the globe, but unlike her i actually accomplished something. We took power away from the Big Government special interests and we put it firmly in the hand of the hardworking taxpayers. Thats what we need more of in this great country. [applause] melissa i dont know, one thing i think is sad about the american political sim what counts for a lot is connecting with people. Whether or not youre smart or good at what youre doing, think about bill clinton president obama. Very charming, very personable. I thought george w. Bush recently hysterical, very charming. This is unfortunately the kind of person you need to get elected. Right. Need everybody that will love you. You you were talking earlier about the big names, romney bush they dont need to be out there right now. Melissa no. We know who they are. Romney has been repeat after repeat. So these folks, this is their time to connect with the american people. Melissa dan . Yeah. I think we have a good lineup of governors out there like scott walker and bobby jindal. They have done a great job but they need a way to connect to broader audience. I think these forums are a good thing rather than melissa does anybody Pay Attention out there. Well the republicans who will vote will Pay Attention. Grassroots are paying attention big time. I ran into eric cantor, former majority leader of the house in davos he thinks there will be ncaa bracket sort of contest where midwestern governors who will be the midwestern governor come out. Who will be rockefeller establishment republican between christie, jeb and mitt romney. Who will be conservative candidate. This is how it is going to emerge and it is not too early because this field is crowded and i hate to say it, i dont hate to say it, it is really good. We could have a march madness bet going on here . Absolutely. Ups countering financial hardships by implementing surge pricing for peak shipping times. The move comes after ups hired 95,000 extra workers to handle seasonal demand only to find they werent necessary this year. They spent a fortune not to have same problem last christmas. How do you love the story . This is weird story. Melissa i jump online all the time. Shop online. How do you obtain clothing and socks and underwear . Look at him. Hasnt changed underwear in three weeks. Come on. Melissa come on that was a cheap shot at my charlie im not going to let that happen. What do you know about charlies underwear, right . Shopping for rocks on your hands. Melissa oh, my goodness. This has gotten way out of hand. Where did we go. Melissa dan, you havent spoken a few minutes in midst of all this. I like surge pricing. Kind of tutorial on economics 101. Absolutely. Supply and demand. When supply goes down, prices go up. Melissa i dont know what youre you always say youre a trained economist. I read that somewhere. Melissa charlie, may be back from davos but fallout from the other networks swiss miss is still developing. Cnbc personality heckled bank of america Ceo Brian Moynihan on way to interview with fbn. Prompting this response from our own maria bartiromo. Really embarrassing. Melissa saw it online. What is she talking about. What is the incident . Charlie has exclusive details. She was going to interview Brian Moynihan ceo of a major bank. Melissa big guy. Im not for kissing their rear end for meetings. Even before they go on you dont heckle them. Not apparently, he was heckled by someone at cnbc. Oh, youre embarrassing yourself and other comments. There has been some press on this. I always wanted to know who it was. I assumed usual thugs that they bring out there, nick dunne who is the pr guy. Brian steele who is their, man secretary to mark hoffman the ceo, president of cnbc. But it turned out to be andrew ross sorkin. Melissa really. Who knows andrew ross sorkin, this is bank of america pr guy told me point bank he is a standing there. Andrew ross sorkin columnist for new york city times. Melissa he is classy guy. Im surprised i think he is a good kid. Ive known him for years. I call everybody kid. That is a lot of people. Melissa he is young. He has written good books but i think melissa here comes the but from charlie. Kneejerk is infectious. That is a place where being a jerk is prided. They pried themselves. I will say this. People talk about the back and forth with us booking wars. Thats not it. Cnbc went out threatened our guests. They heckled our guests. They threw the first punch. Shows what paper gangsters are, when we fought back, they got mad. They started bullying us and we fought back. I tell you, i dont know why andrew is doing this. You know ive been told melissa to be clear that bank of america told you. You said who was it. They said it was andrew ross sorkin. I thought it was nick dunn because he is usual guy goes out and apparently certainty threatening emails. I approached him. He didnt deny it. He approached nick on it. Andrew is usually decent guy. Sort of being a jerk is what is in the dna over there. And i think, i think they i told nick told nick dunn right to his face. You know what youre doing is so stupid, i cant believe youre doing it. And it didnt end there. What is his name brian steele the man secretary for mark hoffman, bragging that they had a private dinner with jamie dimon of jpmorgan, Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs and mark hoffman, who runs both editorial and advertising with talent. Now guess what that means . That means that mark hoffman is basically relaying if youre in these dinners you know theyre lovefests to his talent, his reporters, be nice to these two guys because guess what . We rely on them for advertising and rely on them to watch us were not longer on nielsen ratings. Selling our advertising how many wall street boxes watch us. They stepped way over the line.

Bracing for the worst a massive blizzard is set to cripple the northeast. Officials are not taking any chances. Fox newss Rick Leventhal is bravely facing a storm out in new york. Rick, how is it looking where you are . The conditions deteriorating rapidly, melissa. When we got here 7 30 in the morning, it was snowing, not this house. The road was clear. It was clear until an hour ago. Look at long island expressway between exits 51, 52, covered in snow getting worse. Traffic moving but slowly. There is a blizzard warning not just here but up and down the coast, some 250 miles of the northeast now under a warning because of this heavy stuff expected to head this way. State of emergency has been declared in new york and new jersey. The National Guard has been activisted. Travel restrictions are in place including a ban on trucks on major highways in new york after 4 00 this afternoon. Of course in new york city they have hundreds of salt trucks and thousands of plows will be running around the clock. Theyre out there trying to keep 6,000 miles of city streets clear but it will be a tough job because it is coming down so hard. Here is more from the mayor a short time ago. And this will most likely be one of the largest blizzards in the history of new york city. Im asking everyone to understand that and to prepare accordingly. This is not going to be like other snowstorms. It will be by all indications worse and people have to be ready. One of the reasons, melissa it may be worse because of the high wind expected, 40 to 60 mileanhour gusts t could bring down trees and power lines and cause major problems. The wind hasnt picked up yet. Were expecting it will later tonight. Melissa were talking about this not just because it is happening in our area but it is affecting states chaos the country. What other states are doing to prepare. State of emergency in new jersey. Connecticut has travel ban after 9 00 tonight. Snowplows are up and down the eastern seaboard hundreds in every state. They cant keep up with the snow coming down at two to four inches an hour. Theyre encouraging everyone to stay off the roads only travel and essential merge vehicles. Theyre talking about blizzard conditions throughout the day tomorrow. Thousands of flights have also been canceled. It will be a nightmare for people trying to get anywhere. Melissa thanks for warning everybody what is going on. Get back in the truck. Thank you. Mayor de blasio back in the usual suit and tie today, but a sure sign you see a major weather event, local politician donning a jacket with his name and title. Have you noticed this .

Bruce terkel is with us with terkel brands. Is this theyre buried in snow and dig them out, thank god, we know who it is he is labeled. When i was a kid my mother put my name on back of my shirt when i went to camp. Melissa there you go. There is whole another part of it. People walk around with names like ralph lauren or armani or tom ford on their clothes. Melissa right. If you brand something, why not brand yourself . Why not walk around with your own name . Melissa you made it a branding message. I love it bruce terkel, so smart. I figured i didnt know it was serious when i heard de blasio saying it was end of the world of the im not sure i have to get to a tv to see what he is wearing. Bruce, thank you so much.

Melissa the release of a former al qaeda operative raising serious concerns about our nations stance against prisoner swaps. New reports say a convicted al qaeda terrorist may have been released from a federal Supermax Prison in exchange for the release of two americans. The administration meanwhile vehemently denying the reports. But after bottom bergdahl swap can we trust them on this . Mike baker president of Security Firm diligence and former cia operations officer. Chris is from the institute for study of war. Of the mike, let me start with you, because youre from the cia. What do you think happened here . I will take the administration at their word at this point the fact there wasnt connection. Qataris floated idea in the past about a swap for almarri but you know, it is not as if, you raised this in the opening. The problem that weve got with this Current Administration sort of this lack of transparency and lack of consistency in their messages. They say that, you know, there are no such things as prisoner swaps. Well not negotiate with terrorists whether over ran some or exchanging prisoners. But, after bergdahl, and after that mess, then you really cant take them at their word. Melissa yeah. Chris, you know what is the real harm of doing Something Like this . You know there are people who say, if it was my Family Member that was being held and this was a way to get them back i would want to get them back. What is the harm . The real harm is for every person we get back by negotiating with terrorists you endanger 100 more. You cant negotiate in good faith with al qaeda or. They will not walk back promises not to hurt the west. They influence trying our policy by getting us to release some of their other fighters and sympathizers. So it is in their best interest to kidnap americans. It is their best interest to kidnap other westerners. It is in their best interest to force discuss to negotiate with them. The u. S. Government has a stated policy we will not negotiate with terrorists but there seems a transactional policy were negotiating. I think it leads to further trouble down the road. Melissa it does. Mike, i will ask you. Speaking with someone former cia operative, high ranking in the middle east, counterterrorism he said nothing is as blindly frustrating spending years, hundreding down one of the top guys, bringing them back. Getting information. Finding out down the road they have been released, either traded or said Good Behavior and he said, you just think about all of the manhours and efforts and in many cases lives that went into capturing very valuable person. He somehow is sent back out on to the battlefield. I mean do you agree with that sentiment . Well i do agree with it. The fact it is enormously frustrating. It is enormously frustrating in part because the rules, certainly over the past recent years have been changing. Youre never really sure. Because its a shifting Playing Field from the administrations point of view. But, in reality also despite how frustrating that may be reality is, we never really come to grips with a consistent means of saying okay we pick somebody up off the battlefield. We do everything possible. We hold them as long as we possibly can. Put them through the process. This is end result. Part of frustration with the Intel Community and the public is lack of clarity in how we do deal with these high value detainees. Gitmo is not a problem. Gitmo is not the problem of the problem is we didnt have protocols in place and never been sticking to them. Melissa chris what is the answer to that . What do we do in that situation . The answer is in previous wars. We didnt let prisoners of war go until they no longer present ad threat. In world war ii we captured hundreds of thousands of germans. Prior to that we imprisoned top nazi leadership. We didnt let the people go until we were sure their organization didnt have a threat to the United States of america. German army was destroyed. Fascism as a political construct was not a threat. Once we let them go and senior nazi leadership didnt present a threat to the United States. These al qaeda operatives have not given up the fight. Melissa theyre growing in fact. Releasing them doesnt make any sense based on what youre saying. Chris and mike, thanks for joining us. Thank you. Melissa bracing for a Close Encounter .

Fox news meteorologist janice dean is in the Weather Center with the latest. How is it looking right now . Melissa, a lot of people are going to be experienceing blizzard conditions into tomorrow so people need to be wrapping up preparations. We already have snow flying in philadelphia d. C. , new york, up to boston and the main event really hasnt even gotten started yet. Thats going to happen overnight tonight, into tomorrow, but again, yes seeing heavier bands in new york city and long island with wind gusts in excess of 25 Miles Per Hour. Well show you that snow continuing up towards new jersey, long island, connecticut, rhode island massachusetts, well into tuesday and then were still going to see those wind gusts in excess of 30, 40 Miles Per Hour even when the storm exits towards the north. So blizzard warnings in effect this is the real important part of the storm, the takeaway is that we are going to have conditions going downhill tonight, the wind gusts in excess of 40, 50, even up to Hurricane Force winds along cape cod and the islands. So thats where we have our blizzard warnings in effect. If you have a foot or two feet on the ground, blizzard conditions for a period of time means that were going to have some really big problems on the roadways and in the air. Theres your definition, it has to meet a certain criteria to be called a blizzard. Doesnt happen very often visibility reduced to a quarter of a mile or less and sustained winds or frequent gusts to 35 miles or greater. So millions of people within this blizzard warning and thats the real concern because as you can see, these are the wind gusts for a period of time, 610 hours wind gusts in excess of 35 Miles Per Hour. Thats going to cause major problems. Melissa janice i read this morning 50 Million People in the path of the storm. A lot of people impacted. Thank you so much. Of course. Melissa thousands of flights have already been canceled due to the storm, but if you find yourself stranded at the airport, all hope is not lost even though i know it feels like it. Here now is gary left from view from the wing. Com with some great ideas about what to do if you get stranded at the airport. Your number one idea, i lo this one, you can buy a day pass to the lounge. So even if youre not a frequent traveler, you can go in and buy a pass and they will help you get rebooked . Is that right gary . A lot of people may have access to the lounges their Premium Credit carding whether American Express platinum or their our line card, but if you dont have access to the lounge, usually itll cost you about 50, but it can be worth paying the price. And the agents in the lounge are generally going to be more helpful. They can find you in the lounge, the lines are shorter, and theyre set up to be helpful in getting those rebookings done. Melissa yeah, and the seats are more comfortable and the bathrooms clean. I dont want to get personal but im just saying. People say instead of standing in line, it is often faster to call. If you cant get through on the phone, you suggest gethuman. Com or using skype. Why and how do i do that . Two suggestions. Gethuman. Com will be able to set up to have the airline call you back. Sometimes the telephone lines can be so long in terms of the holds, hour, two hours, even fourhourlong hold times. If you dont want to sit on hold or your phone doesnt have enough battery just have them dial you when its your turn. The other thing is often Airline International call centers wont be busy so there may not be a storm in hong kong or singapore. They may not keep 24hour call centers in their 12hour time distance but you can get through right away, and oftentimeses the english is pretty good. Melissa you say dont argue be nice. Im always amazed when i see people yelling because im like they have all the power right now. Why are you being mean to the person who has all the power to help you . Be nice to them. That makes all kinds of sense. Number four, you say this is the best one, in my opinion flight aware. Com you can see the plane thats coming to you. So even if youre in an area where there isnt bad weather, the plane thats supposed to be coming to you may be coming from an area where theres terrible weather. What do you look for at flight aware . You want to know where the plane is coming from, because you can predict delays earlier than your airline may post it and youll be able to proactively figure out what your Flight Options are going to be. And then you can get on the phone earlier get in line earlier to get rebooked before everyone else on your flight whos all of a sudden going to be trying to get an alternative, to get a jump on everyone with information. Melissa that is great information because unfortunately, i mean, its a competitive thing. You fighting against youre fighting against all the other people. I want to get in front of you, god bless them. Gary, really appreciate it. Very helpful. Three pennies thats how close we are to 2 a gallon across the nation but the Expiration Date on these low prices could be right around the corner.

Melissa the big game is just days away, but dont expect the nfl to wrap up its investigation into deflated footballs before kickoff. Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady today saying he doesnt expect to speak with the nfl until after super bowl saying quote, i believe theyre going to do a meeting after the season so well deal with this after this game. Bruce is back along with dan kaplan of the sports business journal. Dan, i was talking to someone from espn, and they said everyone duds this and its just the fact that people hate the patriots, and thats why its come to light. The truth is, everyone does this to their footballs. Is that the truth . Well, if i knew the truth, i think id make a lot more money right now. But if that is the truth then why did Bill Belichick go on air melissa well, because hes not going to admit it. Theyre saying, look, this goes on all the time, this is what people do. Look, im not a football operational insider like that. That is what some people have been saying, that people, you know people do this. Melissa yeah. But, you know, look, we dont know. Lets wait for the nfl investigation, see if any of these atmospheric tests are conclusive. Melissa yeah, right. Bill nye the science guy debunking this. Bruce, i think this is the best marketing for the super bowl ever because normally the stories that take you in that two week stretch between the last game and the super bowl are lame. I mean, they are these boring feelgood stories about player with the biggest sob story and you hate both teams anyway because your teams not in it, and its like a nightmare. [laughter] this time we actually have something entering to talk about, tom brady talking about his balls hes on snl. This is like a dream come true no . Well, yeah, of course, the only thing he can talk about that we care about is his wife and his balls. Melissa well played, my friend. I appreciate it. A guitar player, he knows if they changed the strings. If youre a chef, you know if the knife is dull. Come oranges its the unfair advantage. Its come on, its the unfair advantage. But youre right, it set them up perfectly to get us to talk about them. Melissa dan, does anything come of this ever . Will we ever know what happened . Will they change the way they do it next year where before they measure and weigh every single football . I think they are change they may not change how they measure the balls, but they probably will take the responsibility melissa im so juvenile i laugh anyway. Go ahead. 99 of society on in this one. Except for my wife who thinks its all stupid. [laughter] it is stupid. Melissa shes a better woman than i am. Shes may more mature. Its stupid. Well, yeah. But, no, the league probably will change how the ball who has control of the balls before the game. Right now each team has 12 of their balls that they get to control. That probably will change, therell be some league official. That has to change. Melissa yes. This is the most pregame snickering ive ever done. Thanks to both of you. Super bowl 49 kicks off in less than a week. Wilson Sporting Goods has been the official game ball for every single championship. Fox News Reporter Garrett Tenney got a behind the scenes look. Reporter yeah, melissa. You mentioned all eyes are going to be on the football this sunday during the super bowl, and this is where they all begin, at horwins leather factory in chicago. Every monday these are the hides that eventually end up on the field. They are tanned, they are then pressed to give a little bit of this texture that we know and love on that football, and then they are sent to wilson Sporting Goods football factory in ada ohio, that is where every football in the championship game has been made since 1941. We wonder each and every time that ball hits the field, you know was that one that i laced, you know . Did i do that ball, you know . And we just hope that, you know that they the players and the quarterback and so forth, that they take as much pride in playing with it as we take in making it. Reporter did you see how fast her hands were going . They are just killing it over there. They are so busy a week leading up to the super bowl. They make 3000 footballs a day there by hand.
