Thank you so much for joining us this morning, what are your observations a week after the horrible attack in paris . I think we are seeing a national conversation, maria, where and reminds me of 2006 when critics of the Bush Administration and the iraq policy started to come out of the woodwork. Over the weekend in the last few days we have seen former secretary gates and former secretary of defense all come out and say that our current strategy is not working and we have to step things up. Thats gf pressure on the administration to do more and talk less. Maria do you think the obama strategy will get sharper as it relates to isis . Well, i only think time will tell. The fact that the president said our goal is to defeat isis, he came right out and said that as oppose to degrade or any other word. I mean, you know, the American People are going to remember this. As we go into elections in 2016, they keep saying they are going to defeat isis, they put a lot of pressure on his party to defend their record. Keith thats nice of them to say to defeat isis. I just wanted to strategically do you think hes checked out so hillary can look stronger on Foreign Policy . You know, i dont know, the fact is that when you send in 50 special operators, only 50, thats just not enough. Air strikes, you know, we have a lot that are flying but a lot of those arent dropping ordinance. Its going to take more whether it requires building a coalition or empower soonie muslims. If they dont go out to isis in raqqa, theyre really not doing enough. Dagen how does this play out in the president ial race and you mentioned Hillary Clinton. We saw in the latest polls that you have ben carson falling back a little bit and certainly seems Like National security is not his strongest suit, do you think that this becomes more of an issue as evidence in that fox news poll about the number one issue for people . Well, it is right now, dagen, you are stock expertsz. Experts. I dont know whether National Security is going to be the number one thing. I suspect it would be. You see marco rubio and laying out a specific plan which has layed out before about impowering soonie muslims in the area, hitting critical infrastructure, calling backgrounds and in sharp contrast to what the administration is not doing. Maria we will see you soon, sir. By the way, you know, so far, guys the market has not reacted to this in any way, look at those numbers that ashley was showing. Down 57 restaurants. Down in double digits in terms of shopping. Thats the kind of stuff that wakes up markets. Keith has the ability to sniff out getting these terrorists, though, its almost like wow, we have the bad situation but the end of the day its going to be over. Thats a big part of last weeks rally. At the end of the day the companies have to report retail sales, holiday sales. This, i dont think the a win. Dagen its very france specific. I hope its selfcorrecting with the euro weakening its been attractive to traveling overseas. If you sea airfares come down you will see a shift in travel. Kevin we have seen that from other attacks that have happened. It only delays Consumer Spending habits. It doesnt impact them over longterm. It would be alarming if we saw the numbers a quarter from now. We havent returned. But what we see is Immediate Reaction from governments. Maria pfizer and allergan agreed to merge. Its going to be the biggest deal of the year. The stock in cash deal to create the Worlds Largest drug maker. It will also relocate pfizer headquarters to ireland cutting the tax rate for pfizer from 25 to 15 . Actually, i did read somewhere else a couple of months ago that allergan paid under 10 . Keith yeah. Look at what the u. S. Could do. Instead of arguing back and forth, down 3 , s p is up 1. If you have a good week maria thats right . I didnt check that. Keith corporates have fiduciary responsibility to find you and they will go there. I salute the irish. [laughter] dagen they specifically have cut it is a special tax on research and development of product, any product. They are more and more aggressive about lowering their Corporate Tax rates. Kevin here is the crazy part that comes out of the deal. Pfizer is looking to save 2 billion in taxes next year alone from doing this. But thats even bigger than viagra sales which are looking 1. 9 billion, that is a really staggering number. That goes back to showing that the u. S. Needs to do something about their tax policies. I mean, the fed is taking all the way to here. Even if we can export the money back here. Theres so much the congress can do. Maria twothirds of the voters want tax reform. The number one issue for congress. [laughter] dagen Hillary Clinton came out with more and more tax breaks to people, resident spending programs. Maria shes also raising, what is it, Capital Gains taxes, doubling them. Dagen making it more complicated. She is proposing to make it complicated. Hillary clinton has a tax credit for you. One of the laid lines in wall street journal. Keith keith i live in the wonderful state of connecticut. People want less government, lower taxes. Maria youre absolutely right. When we come back Vladimir Putin channeling his inner james bond. Can a business have a mind . A subconscious. A knack for predicting the future. Reflexes faster than the speed of thought. Can a business have a spirit . Can a business have a soul . Can a business be. Alive . Maria welcome back, more than a dozen people injured after a shooting in new orleans. Cheryl at least 16 people were injured after shooting at a park in new orleans. Hundreds of people gathered for a block party when two groups opened fire on each other. The victims listed in stable condition this morning. Authorities in crimea declaring a state of emergency, Russias Energy ministry that almost 2 Million People without power today. And finally, we want to show you the photos, maria. Russian ministry of defenses brand new 3tiered multibillion dollar control center revealed. Some are calling james bond. Vladimir putin arrive arriving. This is very similar to what the pentagon looks like here but, of course, in typical president putin style. He says this is three times better than what the pentagon has to offer. [laughter] keith i thought that you were going to say that was a trailer to stars wars. The russian guy. Dagen why that green screen . Do we really know it exists. Maria they look scary. [laughter] cheryl take that over the russian ministry. Keith anything autoof line with what putin says you could lose your hand. You see that, the parting of the read sea every time he gets the puck, everybody gets out of the way. Kevin a message to isis that the russians are crazy. Dagen you heard donald trump over the weekend. Maria former chess champ. Coming up two candidates, while one surges the other false.

Blake the margin continues to grow. The billionaire leads the field by a wide margin. 28 among republicans. That is a 5 point drop for carson in the past month alone. He is followed by ted cruz and marco rub i. Both of them are at 14. Just four points behind. On democratic side, steady support for Hillary Clinton, she is supported by 55 of democrats and holds a 23point lead over sanders. When pitted against the Top Republicans in the field, clinton loses to six of the top seven. Here are the five. You could see the arrow, red arrow pointing down. Marco rubio has the widest margin. Even donald trump, should it end up being trump versus clinton, he shows a 5point edge. Certainly a good news for trump this morning. Maria so youre saying all those people would beat hillary in a matchup . Blake they would all beat hillary. The only one is Carly Fiorina who ties clinton. All top hillary. Keith the spread of that does imply that trump is less likely to beat hillary head to head than even rubio for that matter . Blake clinton had been top on trump. He flipped that in the last weeks or so. Had you been looking at that number in august or september it would have been clinton on top and now closer to the new year is trump on top. Maria interesting. They were saying that the democrats were most afraid of rubio. Right, that was the talk. Keith yeah, of course. You have intelligent immigrant who can communicate on Foreign Policy. Maria he has the latino vote. Kevin hes also unrelatable. You put marco rubio against her, the guy has charisma, comes across very well. Going back, the way he handle jeb bush. Keith dont forget that hillary lost to a younger man before and his name is barack obama. That generational difference is misunderstood. Dagen with National Security and terrorism front in center in the minds of voters, maybe she will actually end up paying for what happened in libya and benghazi where you remove go gedafi. I think rubios plan, look at jeb bush. Ben carson, that area of his resume needs a lot of work but certainly jeb bush and marco rubio are very strongly. Keith he came in here and i thought was the most president ial as he looked. Maria he came out obviously during that very important moment when we were all looking for leadership from the president by the way. Lets take a short break.

Back on wall street, pfizer, reportedly agreeing to merge in a deal worth better than 150 billion dollars that creates a World Largest drug maker. High or on the news i want to bring in right now jpmorgan head of equity strategy thank you for joining us. Youve liked it the whole year. Recovering somewhat. I think this deal solidifies our stance that m and l are drive evaluation higherrer. For us its really about finding Earnings Growth this year, when it is challenged and we think Health Care Still looks pretty good heading into next year. Do you think that u. S. Regulators want to stock this . They dont want to lose in merck. Would they . I think theyre going to try. Thats been reported in the media that theyre not happy about this. So we have to watch it. I think, you know, perhaps the timing of the deal getting it through so quickly might be a factor in this whole thing. I think regulatory overhangs a being part especially on m and a side a big spread in the Halliburton Hughes deal that is supposed to happen right now. I think thats a big thing. We saw alergan waiting for new tabs aversion rules those were aversion is Smaller Company is buying bigger one to get the tax treatment. American corporation will go lower tax rate and down will so they dont have to pay higher tax rates here. Back to earning story on health care, in 2016 but we wrote a note on friday that basically we want through demographics and deflation being a potential threat to what has been a fantastic Health Care Pricing story. As you know it is 50 dwhreers weve been Health Care Prices is there a regulatory or hillary overlay of this that concerns you . More volatility drug pricing debate is going to be front an center. But weve got to numbers. We have haircut drug, haircut companies that have been agrass eve in pricing and we come with the with a growth rate in 2016 thats better than overall market. This year was tough. We have 2 Earnings Growth more or less. Overall for the market looking at 5 to 6 and health care probably couple hundred bases higher than that. So our view on the market is given more evaluation diewpght to go for Earnings Growth and health care is one place where that is today. Can we see multiple expansion where that is 16 times to go to 18 too manies given that theres consolidation in the spaes that you mentioned before . Possibly you could. But our base case is not assume multiple expansion based on the fact that were trading close to historic average in materials of multiple. Much more about the Earnings Growth. We have the Earnings Growth in 5 to 10 because this strong dollar is reeking in copper crashing to new lows again. How do you deal with first half and second half of earnings with the setup are. Watching the price of oil and dollar an those two things hurt by 6 to 7 percentage points. Throughout 2016 both headwinds become benign. Second half i want to know where you stand on the s p sectors had its best week in about three years. Yeah. You had names like not just home depot, t. J. Maxx, stores they were on fire last week. One of the top picks. I have a little bit more concern into how much sectors run. If you look at what retailers are saying core parallel retail ergs it is not great. So this season is one of winners and losers. You have to be positioned in ecommerce. You have to be positioned in companies that sell to the home and you have to have a hot product. A major luxury retailer breaks its sale tomorrow. Prethanksgiving you break your major sale usually starts in december. Yo this is big. And then pile on terrorism on top of that. We saw what effect thats having on paris restaurants and stores. You have to believe if theres a freeze out there that people are afraid of terrorists theyre not going to shop. You have to be sensitive to retailers who rely on tourism and retailers with exposure in europe so something were watching for. Tough for modties. Ole and copper getting a big hit. Florida at the group right now. Phil. Reporter gorge it good morningt is about terror and rushing across the board. Yes its about dollar, demand expectation. Take a look at copper, sixyear low we have nickel hit limit down today so another market that hit the low test level that weve seen since 2003. In a combination of factors. You cant put your finger on just one thing. You can point to the dollar, you can point to the federal reserve. Talking about razeeing Interest Rates, we have the fed president jim williams this weekend saying that a december rate hike is more than likely but a strong case for that. But will that case change if we continue it see the depressure. A wild start to the day. Oil, of course, the key they think for that is to see if it can close below 40 one they think that hangt been able to do since the chinese stock market crash so well see what happens today maria. Glad you connected dots to china. Because thats a big story of cop or phil. Right now, keith you heard about this this morning copper is crash. Down 1. 8 alone. So we have oil down 30 but copper down 30 for the year today. If you ga back to july when storkt it was levitating commodities started to dislocate from that. Big length that weve been looking at is deflation to earnings so earnings deflation these things are uniquely and intimately linked at this stage of cycle again i would be surprised if people remain complacent at this pervasiveness in the destates for me. You look at copper breaking your two is a big single especially on Global Growth so thats indicating numbers out of china in the emerging markets that theyre slowing down and pretty significantly right. So in showing that u. S. Is coupled from Global Growth. Right were growing over here. But 40 dollar a barrel oil puts the most efficient operators in a bind. Can you imagine all of the nonefficient operators . Thats a big deal. If you look at last week and the dow you would say stocks are up. But mlp that is a lever space to what yowx, they were down over 1. 55 last week theyre down 30 for the year to date and a lot of people in high net earth earn for yield. Weve been selective in energy space and underway to material space so were not concerned with whats happening to copper. I think it goes back to transsession in china away from manufacturing and industrial led my to consumption it is not bringing demand back. Your position that way. A lot of guys mess this up. They were long value and cyclical space and didnt get that side right. Thats a good position to be in. Copper is an industrial metal to used in what homes . Building houses, producing cars. I mean, its a real industrial metal which is very indicative of the global economy. It wasnt just that maria. Last week we have nickel another one down 5 of the week. It is down 40 for the year to dat. Thats even worse. Also industrial. I scoff at gold it doesnt tell you anything but what people are buying and selling. Gold is not. Is money. Gold is, you know, ahead. Uncertain times were starting to get into the tax here. But does that gold is falling, though. Copper price help Home Builders because we vnt seen them gain eat over the last quarter but copper so low, the cost for their buildings is really ening for builders thats a demand story in the u. S. And demand for housing that is strong. So ting theres some opportunity there. Were not stepping in and buying material stock and select eve in energy right now. Because i think the price could go lower because theres a lot of people that cant make money at current levels but take time to come out of the market. So probably another three to six months ahead it have choppy waters. Thank you so much for joining us. Global head of equity here in our studio walmart meanwhile steps up plan for monday.

I think its no surprise that terrorism is up and the economy are the biggest concerns among voters. I think it clearly goes when you were looking at president obamas polls, they go hand in hand. Not convinced that he is doing the job that they need. Keith if you look at what trump said over the weekend, its almost like he wanted his daddy to treat him fairly. Is it game time or are we going to have a real debate and people are going to attack him on tangible issues like the economy . Morgan what he did is what everyone does whenever theyre not in the lead, they attack the biggest enemy. What he is saying now, what i said earlier, its called politics. This is what happened. You get hit. This is how every president ial race is one and fought and lost. As i said on your program many times, what im more concerned about in the year, somebody, hillary, jeb, whoever, russia, iran, its time to have a very serious conversation about who has the temperament and not who is going to run for a third party. This whole stuff is ridiculous. Dagen this plays into trumps style because the American People, which you see in these fox news polls, are tired of a president and Democratic Leaders that will not refer to radical islamic terrorism. So trump is a natural kind of opposite or just positioned to the lack of language that youre getting or the lack of what people want to hear getting from the administration. You get you might be getting tougher tone from donald trump. Morgan i totally agree, dagen. Theyre afraid of terrorism. Theyre afraid of whats happening globally and they want someone who is going to stand up and win and somebody who is going to defeat. Keith bomb the hell out of it its po polarizing as obama take the weekend off. Morgan he had 27 different flag officers that came out and supported him. Excuse me flag offers. I think the people that have come out with clear plans, jeb bush, even chris christie. The rest has been politics. Maria can they beat hillary . Morgan i think she has whats interesting to me in the past two weeks, specially since last debate, she consolidated her base. An early states, excuse me, shes pretty much locked up in terms of infrastructure and having people on the ground. The concerns of terrorism and the Democratic Party have just totally knocked Bernie Sanders off of his beat. 92 tax rate. [laughter] kevin we are seeing whatever donald trump is doing continues to work. He doesnt need to change the course. They expect this from dt. They expect him to be say crazy absurd things. Morgan interesting hes talking about as an independent. Maria we keep hearing stories that the republicans want to get him out of the lead and that theyre going to launch this attack. I think thats what hes reacting. Morgan the people launching the attacks, governor kasich are competitors. Maria you dont think traditional rnc wanting him out . Morgan i havent seen any signs of that. Considering the poll numbers are so high, rnc should want to back whomever. Maria you would think so. Morgan iowa and New Hampshire and i think that its iowans are still deciding. Keith trump has never really tested. I want to be treated fairly. He was born on third base and tells the whole world that he earned it. Rubio is going to take him to task. The treat me fairly. Youre mr. Big time why do you need to be treated so fairly . Morgan what you face in the primary and Political Campaign is far less serious than what you face as president. The challenge is the next president is going to face pails in comparison. So the point of me saying that, you have to be able to handle this stuff because its going to get a lot worse. Maria what did you think object obama and secretary clinton in the face of those paris attacks . Morgan i saw the secretary gave a pretty weak response. I think that she has to say why shes still in president. She cant run against him. Anyone who has known hillary or her people its not really in her heart to give response to terrorism. I think, i kind of have no words for the president s response. Nothing that i would say on television. [laughter] maria thank you. Breaking news. Pfizer and allergan making it official.

Take a look at the markets, complete turnaround in the last 15 minutes. Keith mccullough knows why. Keith if they are ready to cooperate. What that says to me, maria, that the saudi does not want to see oil look like copper. They do not want to see it blow to 35. They dont want to see it in lower lows. Oil was down 3 full percent now barely down on the day. Maria saudi arabia says it will cooperate with opec and nonopec countries. Kevin this is huge. We are going to shake out the shell producers in the u. S. We are going to take the pain and let them shake out and it hasnt happened. Dagen they kept pumping oil trying to stay in business. They kept pumping and kept pumping and completely misjudged. Keith this is coming from other producers in opec that pushed them to do this. Now that we know that theyve did a reversal and listening to counterparts, thats a huge, huge maria i love breaking news. This is happening right now as we are talking. Pfizer announcing deal of 160 billion, not only creating the Worlds Largest drug maker, but the largest deal of the year. Joiningous steven joining us is steven. Yeah, because there isnt a cash component. This is coming in underneath the deal value. This is coming at 363 and no cash. Thats pretty significant. Maria whats more important, steven, the drop in commodities or the huge deal in the pharmaceutical sector . It is a central bankers world. The European Bank is a central and the United States. So the commodity situation reduces inflation pressures which means the fed is going to go up next month, they feel like they can but in the future very slow and europe is going to do another round. Its positive for risk asset. Keith isnt that the cat lis. The saudis are the central catalyst for the markets. Are you remiss not to call what it is . You were just describing. This is the world in which we live. [laughter] keith at least youre being honest. They misplanned in my opinion. 100 bucks a barrel and now 40ish of price range but central planning, you have the u. S. Who came out last year, probably going to be less aggressive. [laughter] the europeans are going to be printing more euros, chinese on the cusp of liquidity measures. We need to figure out how to deliver that. Maria you want to buy europe right now. Exactly. And that is the case. If youre looking at europe, Interest Rate differential and the problems in europe that led to positive environment. The economy a year and a half ago was not doing well, earnings were not doing well, which said to us that European Central bank was pretty much inavoidable. Keith they still provide deep value to counterparts but performing just as well. Its almost like gravity. Over time, you know, valuations are very important. Relative to the u. S. , you have an opportunity, negative yield space and the competition rate you have to hit, one, two, three, 5 in institution. Thats the game Central Europe is playing. They saw the success that we saw in the United States and want to reproduce that. Maria you want to buy u. S. Stocks or not in. Globally diversified. Global equity. Japan, second, u. S. Will be a third. But then needs to be fixed income. Dagen who doesnt find it distressed that pfizer is leaving the United States . You look at me mad about that. Maria im not mad because i blame the regulators and the people who have the highest Corporate Tax rate in the world. Im not mad at exactly is going to continue to happen. Dagen im mad at what you just said that this is the environment we created. Kevin thats the bottom line in the pfizer deal. Maria health care . Regardless of politics that seems to be stable earnings in the environment. [laughter] maria politically correct this morning. Good to see you.

Reporter hi maria tops republican field but donald trump, is not ruling out the possibility of running as an independent should that change. Now this comes as the the wall street journal reported that gop operatives are planning to launch what they describe a Guerrilla Campaign against trump Top Republican donors beginning to line the pockets of groups, targeting trump, for example, the super pac supporting kasich launching 2 1 2milliondollar ad buy np New Hampshire, focused on taking down the republican frontrunner billionaire businessman has did is aswoud super pac was asked about the potential third party run yesterday. I am going to have to see what happens i will see what happens, i have to be treated fairly, you know when i did this i said i have to be treated fairly, if i am treated fairly i am fine. All i want to do is a levelplaying field. For the moment that is all speculation, because the latest fox news poll shows trump lead is widening, he now holds 10 point edge over dr. Ben carson support from 28 of republican voters. Maria. Maria blake, Garry Kasparov on set with us he reminds everybody didnt trump sign a contract a pledge would not run independently. He signed that pledge, a couple months ago, after the fox news debate but first debate he raised his hand, and then he signed the pledge but did say at that time, he wanted to be treated fairly. And in this interview yesterday he said he wanted to be treated fairly whether he views super pac money as treekt him fairly that i guess is a question. Wait is he not being treated fairly . I mean. It that you have have to ask trump i guess he used this super pac money as unfair he says he is not going to have a super pac disavowed that kind of what he is pointing to here. Blake burman. Crimea in dark this hour, nearly two million residents of the area look at pictures, taken by russia in spring of 2014, without any power, this after unnamed activities blew up four main lines kaerpg electricity from ukraine into the krim mean peninsula want to bring know former world chess champion authorize political activist Garry Kasparov thanks for joining us putin to meet with Francois Hollande on thursday first your thoughts on that meeting, as well as what is happening in crimea. The big question is hollande, obama obama the leaders are they willing to fight or want to win, because if they want to win need a strategy that does not include putin iran, other he focuses in the regional behind the progress, because so long as putin is calling the shots so long as iran has been gaining power, by the way, iran one of main supporters hamas hezbollah terrorism around the world as well, there will be no peace in the region, isis, isis, has full support of the sunni tribes in the iraq and syria they could see, shia government in baghdad, in in syria as main threat as long as this situation remains, we dont expect piece in the region. Maria if you were obama you were playing to win what would you do . I too late for obama, because because. Maria question. Because you have to make credible threat, the problem is nobody will believe obama. Maria are no more credibility. That is a problem, you find end up a big war imposing nofly zone means that it is if russia violates it you have to shoot russian planes, obama loss all credible, natural putin will foragitest you complicated but still worse than recalling u. S. Strategy, 2008, went in peace was made, sunni tribes offered protection you quote win hearts and souls from 30,000 feet bombing this region is not going to would improve situation it will push sunnis, to are you disagree with tumbles lets bomb have hell out of them . , no you can bomb you can bomb the hell of that, hell on ground because mill yopz of sunnis fighting with assad iran you guaranteed millions from region will support isis. Is there a reason u. N. Security council can actually do something. Security council. Yeah china saying russia in mix one time they could do something. My reaction, too, though, security council, what are you going to do. Bombing not going to work you need a worldwide cooperation to get something done, right. Cooperation, cooperation means, that you have at one point Common Ground you looked a world war ii with at least stall ip had same goal destroying nazis. Est port advantage not against isis, against american backed rebels putin needs conflict as long as in regional uranians align with him do everything to make sure situation is complicated, lets not forget, just next door. You are saying, putin needs conflict because his economy is is plummeting oil prices have plummeted, he needs to look like big tough guy saving the country. In in last year putin gained reputation of a tough guy who cab change things, and he has more power now diplomatically than United States everybody will take nobody taking seriously anymore. How could u. S. Have used the bombings the terror attacks in paris to forge a better relationship because this is a question, could we have moved in and been the best ally of france, along with u. K. , because, it is putin, and france, and then we are a marginal player. America marginal player. But we are. Do you disagree with that. No but a result of the seven years of retreat, the Obama Administration has created vacuum there putin filled vacuum the only way recovery by bringing nato together, and coming up with a plan, i dont know i am not advocating for boots on the grounds eventual you have to create a force cable of taking isis as long as stays in damascus nothing will change. Any candidate you think has right plan when it comes to Foreign Policy anything you heard you are impressed with . Look. It is i understand all very cautious, advocating boots on the ground that is not particular, but definitely now want to hear from about bombing, and waterboarding, he can play nice, with voters, but not longterm solution i could hear doesnt have plan i think again, probably too reserved because you know he cant the longterm solution because it might it might damage your campaign. One thing before you mentioned is israel is right there if trump says let let russia you know, kill isis let them do it. Isis israel the sport of israel. Absolutely by the away russia supporters hamas hezbollah, one did he mandz russian delegation at negotiations in vienna with americans, and other, was to remove hamas hezbollah from terrorist and you know iran declared many times that nonnegotiable.

It works, last week i sat down with north America President Jennifer Morgan, growth forum in palm springs we talked about how sap is keeping up with demand Companies Large and small grow dependent on technology. We have tremendous momentum coming of them q3 Earnings Growth shows momentum 116 , operating profit 19 , stock price 20 higher than back this time of year ago the momentum is really strong you just look at things are changing so fast in this industry, and never move this slowly again that gives a lot of great opportunity playing this Digital Economy. Where does momentum come from Going Forward in terms of specifically the cloud business. Yeah, so i think the cloud gave companies an ability to be more agile move faster invait the pace of adoption innovation faster and faster they need to continue to pivot when you look at a business, right, all that change is going on in Digital Economy, there is a few things that have not changed, most businesses have customers, they have a workforce, they have suppliers, and they have assets a lot connected the key is really how do you with respect a digital threat across all that business so you can run a realtime business that is the differentiator. What is ahead i guess some analysts talking about a great quarter we didnt necessarily get upside guidance we wanted. Is there not a lot of visibility when you look out six months. No i dont think it is that, look we have great memorand momentum focused on closing q4 feel very kwst on that job at hand right now when we look into next year, you know, we continue to see that momentum growing, i mean, our business is growing, we are hiring people innovation continues, so, very positive. Is it health care i feel like a revolution going on in health care probably a big opportunity for sap. We have a lot of passion, you know, in that space quite a bit passion for experiences he had, and that is definitely an area when you look at information sharing patients you look at doctors, typically patient might see three or four doctors for specific condition, that they have, or maybe a surgery they had, the key is that information is not being shared, so, how can we use the concept of the Business Network in health care, so that patients can share information doctors can share patients have better outcome i think so much innovation that is to happen in health care, on behalf of patients. Maria any time you talk abo digital revelation you have to talk about security how data is protecting what are you doing to make the case you want to partner with us, because withdraw yaur date is safe. Absolutely, so when you look at your constantly innovateing look another security layered approach intelligent rocksolid make sure youve got right people managing that, you have to make sure, that you have right processes in place the right governance compliance, so it is very layered process when you are constantly innovating that means patriupdating softwa at top of agenda with every ceo cio that i meet top of our agenda, so, were very, very focused on it we have to be, commerce k depended rely on us. I feel like the the funny, i feel like the you know, attempts at hacking are increasing by the day, i mean from china, russia, do you get a sense of where the attempts are coming from . I think it is something that everybody iss there is a paranoia out there people are watching people just want to understand you what are we doing, and making sure that there is the a transparency, and the money we are investing in that we spend about 2. 3 billion in r and d across a product a big area focus has to be has to be. Maria what is your business clients look like, in terms of you know where theyre coming from it is a Small Business largerly or are you talking largely you know, larger business i know it is all the above, but where does growth come from small midcap large. It is actually, coming from all three. Now when you look at some of the big changes we service big xerz weve had sometime those customers are looking at how they position themselves for the next wave of growth, Digital Economy quite a bit on Large Enterprises we probably add 1,000 neither new logos in Small Business space every quarter seeing growth there, too the number of customers probably have lows to 80 customers in smart and medium stooized businesses. Maria great numbers in most preeminent quarter where does growth come from call it the next three years. The growth is o going to come from the cloud, the growth for customers, standardizing our digit core going to allow business to compete in digital lets be honest nobody is immune from the Digital Economy change happening the curators of birth that we see. Businesses are looking at 016 putting budgets together what does 16 look like. I think momentum continues i am bullish on a great 2016, after a fantastic year.

Maria sure does, thanks very much, live on the ground in paris this morning latest fnc poll highlights americans concern over terrorism the issue higher than economy and immigration, joining us rights now former Homeland Security counterterrorism advisory under president george w. Bush good to see you thanks for joining us, no sfroif terrorism is up moneying most important you look at candidates, who do you think is best to address that issue . Well you know, look, American People want is to be reassured, we have looked at polls americans are not reassured by president obamas approach to sir to unifies, and that is what they are going to look for going to look for somebody can give them a plan they have confidence in will protect them at home, part of that is, we have to admit this iraq first strategy against isis has not worked frankly failed. Given what we have seen in paris attacks the president United States, and our allies are going to have to switch to syria first policy the threat the terrorism threat for us at home western europe is emanating out of syria now. Do you think that somebody needs to be as polarizing as trump has been on saying look bomb the hell out of them or somebody needs to come in give specificity. I specific what are you going to do sire first what you want to do is specifically, look at that borderer between iraq syria defy advises so you isolate them you need increase air strikes, to loosen rule of engagement more than 50 submerse operators you need arab troops a safe zone so you stem the flow, of refugees here to United States western europe, number of things, a candidate needs to be specific about what steps he is going to take. Why yvnt we gone into syria why iraq first situation doesnt make sense that we know where caliphate is we know raqqa headquarters within their supposed why havent we gone there what is reluctance. Exactly the question a mystery. Hard for me to defend this right i would say to you i think what administration would say is we had an air campaign, i would say air campaign alone is not enough you need air controlers americans can spot calling bombing strikes. Missing targets with these air campaigns . You know it is interesting, because i was in the region not two weeks ago you hear from arab allies a good deal of frustration, about their bombing runs and american pilots come back with majority of thelack intelligence to hit targets u. S. Allies hit 283 Islamic State vehicles in oil facility but we miss misjudged revenue from oil striking at heart of isis economy it is now a selfcontaining economy we thought that we underestimated by four hundred million dollars, a year, in just oil revenue we were hitting refineries, when isis moved away from refining oil, was just selling the raw crude. That is right, one of the when i say we need to loosen rules of engagement what you hear from military they werent aloud earlier to hit convoys of oil, because it was concern about collaterally dangle we need to make judgments about what is important priorities are you see along rules of engagement saudis say we dont want oil prices down further to dagen that is probably good headlined for isis how do we step up say let oil go down to 3025, why dont we strengthen the dollar deflate in my experience, during my time at the white house, this saudis are not exactly real open to us suggesting what theyout to do with prices of oil, there is the a lot of times in our economy we would like to have some there they are not exactly you know. In times of war if we declare war should be on the stable should it not. Absolutely. There was a headlined earlier that said saudi arabia now is open to cooperation with opec, so this is the first time were hearing this for a longtime, of course, they were unwilling to stop production, lift prices earlier in the year. Where are arab allies in the region why around the they helping attack give intelligence 2010 us go into syria, i mean, where have they been . So in fairness, in terms of counterterrorism, isis alqaida youve got some best allies, the intelligence stopped bombs in stockton suicide at aqap, we need you are right we need their help on intelligence i think they were frustrated wanted assad to go a key part of the policy, and because it wasnt they pulled they are not doing air strikes emirates and saudis any more in syria they pulled out to focus on yemen. They wanted to focus on yemen when iranians on their southern boarder. I think that is right our friends in middle east do not trust strategy do not feel u. S. Has a strategy, running they also feel, as though they were they have not they will never forgive us over abandoning mu barack the first, second the red line the iranian deal our sunniarab partners feel very much abandoned by u.

We have watched the members of the current class grow and develop into prong Young Leaders we are all here today, to honor the apprentice graduates, to honor this man, one of the things that i absolutely love admire respect he has those memories of what it is like to live on the downside of advantage.

And be guided and mentored, when well come in this building it changes your life.

I am totally blind. And sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. This is called non24. Learn more by calling 8448242424. Or visit your24info. Com. [bassist] two late nights in blew an amp. But good nights. Sure,musics why we do this,but its still our business. We spend days booking gigs, then weve gotta put in the miles to get there. Like seeing our album sales go through the roof enough to finally start paying megs little brother i mean,our new tour managerwith real,actual money. We run on quickbooks. Thats how we own it. Welcome back, donald trump still on top. A poll showing that he is his lead is widening and ben carson slipping in the number two spot. They came out yesterday. Yes, the lead is growing for the moment for donald trump. The republican frontrunner has a wider lead according to the fox news poll and trump received support from 28 of republicans, puts in ten clear of dr. Ben carson who has seen a five point drop since the beginning of this month. Despite the large cushion, trump who signed a republican loyalty pledge opened the door yesterday to a potential third party run should the race not break his way. Im going to have to see what. I will see what happens. I have to be treated fairly. When i did this, i said i have to be treated fairly. If im treated fairly, im level playing field. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton enjoys a 23 lead from Bernie Sanders. When pitted in hypothetical general election matchups against Top Republican contenders, she falls to all of them except for one tie and the best margin there goes to marco rubio who hits 50 against her. Maria all right, im glad you showed that shot of donald trump signing the pledge, that he wouldnt run as an independent because if he were to run as an independent, people would be very upset with him, i think. He would break that pledge. Of course he raised his hand at the fox news debate and would not commit to it and then a month or two months later signed the pledge and here we arement that was early september. Were in late november. Youve got the caucus coming up, the first one in february, where does he stand. Maria the reason, if he were to go independent, he basically splits the party. Hillary wins. Maria and hill wins, he splits the party and voters and gives the election to hillary, people would be upset with him if he does that. Thats the fear. Certainly for republicans, but i would point out according to our poll, hes got a ten point lead so it might not get there, but he certainly is opening the door to this possibility. Maria blake, thanks. Its like an empty threat, really. Maria maybe it is, youre right. All right, the war on coal continues. Murray energy is calling out the Obama Administration, filing a lawsuit to halt the president s clean power initiative. A judge indicates ordering epa Administrator Gina Mccarthy to investigate the targeting of the coal industry. I want to bring in robert murray. Thank you for joining us. Your suit comes at a time when the president s ratings are at an alltime low. What do you want to happen here . Well, the president s socalled clean power plan, maria, is really a no power plan. Recent studies show that it will raise electric rates in the United States between 22 and 30. And 45 states will have doubledigit electricity rate increases. 25 states will have 15 increases. Maria, 115 million americans get Energy Assistance right now. Half of the worlds seven billion people do not have access to reliable low co cost electricity. Half the homes in india dont have a light bulb. And the president and his followers are a destroying, reliable, low cost electricity in the world in america for no environmental benefit whatsoever, maam. Maria so what do you want to do about Environmental Issues . What do you want to do about Carbon Emissions in the air . Well, first of all, we filed six lawsuits against the Obama Administration. Murray energy has been joined by 27 states now, maria. They agree with me that what he has done in bypassing the states, in bypassing the utility commissions, in bypassing the house and senate and putting the epa in charge of electricity is totally illegal. Thats what we have done and we will overturn this no power plan. Dagen bob, assuming, its just a guess, lets say a republican wins the white house in a year, doesnt that can you survive that long . Can you get through that long . Couldnt a republican president roll back these initiatives and regulations . The coal industry is bankrupt, maria. We lack 45 billion dollars in funding our liabilities right now as a whole. Its questionable whether the industry can survive and it certainly wont survive it intact the way it is now. We have to get a new president. We have to overturn this, but its more than just the coal industry, maam. Hes destroying reliable low cost electricity for people who want to manufacture a product for the global marketplace. Maria were looking at the coal Company Stock prices down since january of 2009. Let me ask you to explain to our viewers the epa regulations and why theyre so onerous. Bob . What do you think is the worst part of this epa regulation . By the way, youre not the only industry complaining about the epa rule making and the most recent rules. So tell us whats so onerous. Whats so onerous, maam, is that Obama Administration is putting the u. S. Epa in charge of our electric power grid. They have no expertise at all in regulating in the electric power grid. Hes using a section of the 1971 Clean Air Act in a totally he will legal way and we actually have six lawsuits. Well overturn the no power plan because we already won one of those six cases before the supreme court. Maria is it the cost thats so onerous, the cost or a whole new set of rules to follow . Its not just the cost, maria. The 214 billion dollar cost, thats just part of it, maam. Hes destroying the discharge of the electric power. People are going to flip their light switch and the power isnt going to be there. Maria i see, all right. Bob, good to have you on the program, thanks for making the case, well be watching the developments. Thank you, maria. Maria bob murray there. Murray energy. Dont forget mornings with maria starts every day at 6 a. M. Eastern on the Fox Business Network, before we go to break. Here are the best moments that you may have missed this morning from the program. And do the guys in the chair actually talk . Come on, sheps news deck is cooler looking than that. The best part of that. It sends a strong message to isis that the russians are crazy. I have a bigger problem with jack dorsey leading square as well as twitter as an investor, i wouldnt touch any of those. Thats a creamy, gooey thing i would love to give you a taste of. I dont know how messy you want to get. Maria im ready to get messy. They expect this from donald trump, they expect him to say crazy absurd thing and thats what they want to sloet for, how is the establishment going to separate. Its interesting hes talking running as an independent considering hes the one leading in the public polls. And an advisors to the United States, and get a cheaper tax rate. Would you be mad about that . Theyre leaving the United States. Im not mad because i blame the regulators and people who have the highest Corporate Tax rate in the world. Welcome back, the death toll in a massive slide in myanm myanmar. Cheryl its near the jade mine and 100 are missing this morning. A rose by any other name may produce electricity. You heard me right. Researchers from sweden introducing circuitry into a roses vascular system that could result in new ways to study plants biological systems and may be an i with a to a way that a rose could be a power plant. Sorry. And end with this, a dog named daisy is running for the First Time Ever thanks to her new prosthetic legs. Maria oh. Cheryl i cant stand this. This dog was set to be euthanized and shes not new owners and the Animal Hospital helped her get amazing new legs and might be the happiest dogs ever and hope the story will inspire people to help other man ales with availabilities or at least go to a shelter and adopt. I love that story. And love that video. Its amazing. And rescue a dog and save them all. 100 . Maria Mark Zuckerberg shaking up corporate family leave. Yes, taking two months, two months. Theres a question whether or not its good, but its a personal decision for him. Hell take two months of paternity leave after his daughter is born. In a Facebook Post he said its a very personal decision and he pointed out studies that shows when workers take time to be with their newborns, its better for their families and gives employees in the u. S. As many as four months as paid maternity or paternity leave within the first year a child is born. Right now the u. S. Government does not require paying leave after a child is born for any company. So, its part of the ongoing competition, too, i would say between amazon and google and the Different Companies that they look, were going to help you out when you have a kid. Earlier in the show i was too aggressive and i think i called i am lame him lame for ceo. Since fox dominates now, im going to take two months off because of the success. Maria youre not allowed. Youre part of it. And i do put my children first. We bond instead of being here at 6 00 in the morning, well bond and have a wonderful time. So, thanks for the idea, mr. Zuckerberg. A Great Company takes care of not only the shareholders, but stake holders, including employees and its a great policy that we have and creates a great Corporate Culture and getting back to one of the reasons why the fox family is a culture. Dagen as one who chooses not to have children and works all the time and never gets a benefit. Maria and two months. Dagen i get a lot of hate when i say that. But its true, if you make the choice not to have kids. Maria thats a separate conversation. And shes just saying who specifically is for kids. Dagen or for 40 years, im the one who jokes, that you dont have to worry about your kid moving back in with you. You dont have to take it, right . [laughter] my father is still afraid im going to move back in with them to this day. Its the first child for him, a beautiful experience, let him take the time off. Hes probably going to get itchy fingers, knowing the way hes left the company hes going to want to work. Maria hes not going to sign off. An interesting point, what do you think about that . Were in the air of its different this time, super young ceos who are actually at this point in their life where they really think about it differently by virtue of their aid. Jo you can do some comparing and contrasting. Marisa mayer took a leave and she was criticized for not taking enough leave and she built a nursery next to her office. Zuckerberg is saying this is my decision. Theres no one named in the interim while im going. Dagen i think hes doing it in part for a publicity stunt. Attention and promotion. Jo i dont know if its a publicity stunt, but by sharing it. Dagen hey, im taking two months, come on. Maria the stock off 37 this year, im good with it. And as far as im concerned, hes performed for shareholders. And the other leaders in the company, cheryl sharyl samberg has done a great job. Dagen when he comes out and says im taking two months, its a way of selling their policies and perks. The ultimate arbiter of this story is the stock at this as an alltime high looking backwards . Don its on track and hitting alltime highs. They have so much growth overseas to take care of. Mobile growth. They are the social network. Dagen so you still are a buyer . Absolutely. On this news im a seller. Dagen one photograph of your kids in the Halloween Costume is enough. We dont need 50. Maria jo, good story. Thank you so much jo ling kent. And pfizer and allergan deal.

And theres cards you can flash in front of the scanner, which will get the bear to teach a young child how to brush their teeth on when its time to go to bed. How old for the child for this. From three up until 8 00. And for me. This is like my childhood in a microcosm, not the doll. And that guy does a little of everything. He actually will interact with you, hes got voice activation and voice recognition, he spins, he goes front wards, backwards, he makes the noises you hear on the movie.
