morning. >> we have the nasdaq and the s&p working 2 days of losses and about struggling to stay in the green, 16,000, retail sales pretty solid. boosting consumers' stock, discretionary beating the market higher, looking at what we saw from existing homes sales 3.2% in october and consumer prices falling since 2009. that is how the overall market is reacting. let's look at yahoo! shares of 2 present today and up 78% this year. they are aggressively into their buyback program adding $5 billion, the most recent just announced. connell: president obama meeting with state insurance commissioners pushing his fix for americans dealing with canceled plans. dagen: rich edson has a read, how many are on board with the idea. >> a handful have been down since they will do so and allow the president to go forward. the president announced his accommodation last week he would allow state insurance commissioners to carry that through. insurance companies could be issue the plan that has been canceled because of obamacare and the insurance companies would have to say a okay and the insurance commissioner would have to sign off. a handful said yes and handfuls said no, association of insurance commissioners have said what has taken a year to phase out these plans would take long to reissue those plans, not a quick fix but could lead to higher insurance rates this year. as the president has the insurance commissioners at the white house and at a time when poll numbers had a staggering drop for obamacare up this morning showing the 81% approve the president's health care law, a 12 point drop in the last month, 61% disapprove of the law and do so strongly. there is a tough optic problem for the white house and that is why insurance commissioners and every time there's a crisis or problem the president to ends to call in relevant members of communities to show they are being proactive on the problem and he needs to convince them to allow more people to go and reissued the old insurance plans especially if they lost their insurance that they wanted to keep and if they go to the marketplace they can't get on to it because there's a website problem more they find prices are too much. dagen: with more we are joined by lanny davis, counsel to president clinton joining us from washington d.c.. so good to see you. this is turning out to be a case study what not to do in a crisis. still not getting so many parts of this right. >> the crisis management if i could -- in crisis tails, get all the ducks out. and if you mess up. and, will pour hillary clinton introducer health-insurance plan. and the fairness everyone had access to health care. and if i have as a liberal democrat every other democrat in crisis management terms to hit the reset button and start to look for a bipartisan solution to fixing these problems. dagen: bipartisan solution, you pointed this out, private companies and insurance companies have been in the business of operating private exchanges and they should, the white house should have invited these changes in trying to fix this problem, that would be a concession, democrats like private business can do it that the federal government, that is something they might not want to admit. >> hard to understand why they don't want to admit it because the department of health and human services, secretary sibelius' it a tough regulation regulating these private websites such as ehealth.com which is my client, severely regulated requiring to display all the insurance plans even though they didn't have commission agreements so regulation is in place, detailed agreement in august, if president obama has and the won, ever mention the private sector solution until he talked about insurance companies which are only going to sell their own policies and these websites all like amazon.com, they display all the insurance plans, websites and the private sector, helping solve this problem, it is about a year of competition in the private sector by government bureaucrats who want to preserve their own territory rather than the goal of the legislation to sign people up. dagen: do you think the white house, the people in the administration completely understand the fear that some individuals are experiencing? policy will talk about the vast majority of americans are insured under their employers and look at this in terms of your numbers, not that many americans as a percentage but dino people who are losing their insurance at the end of the year and they are flipped out. these are people with health problems that they won't be covered come january 1st because they are not able to sign up. >> everything i say especially on this program that i support president obama, voted for the mensa for the affordable care act but there's nothing worse than a message that suggests five%, only five million people are threatened or 10 or 15. how about one that is promised something that isn't given what the promise was, you are not going to lose your policy. our democrats, this is our mess and we have to hit the reset button, find republicans to work with on the private sector solution as partner with government, not replacing government and if president obama is watching this program, i have reason to doubt that, at least hear my voice. as a liberal pro obama affordable care active democrat i am saying use private sector exchanges to directly connect to the federal government and sign people up to a direct connection the way states are allowed to and not to use insurance companies which are going to sell their own policies rather than private sector exchanges that have been successful for many years. dagen: great to see you. making a lot of sense in a situation that is hard to make sense of these days. the book is crisis tails. gave you a little taste of it. be well. connell: federal reserve chairman ben bernanke is still very insuring investors' interest rates will mean lower after the unemployment rate drops below 6.5%, the benchmark to begin sailing back on the stimulus program. dagen: the chief economist at our dq economics, shocker. >> some people would think a pox on the fed meets in december, lower the threshold from 6.5% to 5.5%, keeping interest rates at zero until the economy essentials we hit full employment. by reiterating 6% number, ben bernanke defused expectations and also addressed the issue of scaling back on bond purchases a couple times, december open for a decision by the fed to modestly cut back on its rate of purchases of government bond. connell: nothing new year. will there be anything new ones janet yellen take over the federal reserve and what would it look like? >> there was a hook at the end of his speech, continuity sentence in the last paragraph that he agreed with what janet yellen said in her confirmation hearings last week, looks like she is going to ease through the confirmation process going forward. there's a lot of continuity here. whether it is the right policy is debatable. the fed could afford to scale back sooner. we are 3.5 years into the economic recovery bubble. connell: are you concerned about that? more people live. >> i am concerned. that wasn't addressed directly by ben bernanke but there was a hint that the feds watching what it called the cost and advocacy of the program because they don't have experience with these tools, essentials the the size of the fed's balance sheet $800 billion before the financial crisis to $4 trillion where it is going to be fairly soon so the fed doesn't have experience. i do see the fed concerned about financial stability, wants to get out of this over the coming months but no hint that there is -- the fed is about to start raising rates and we could have a debate but the fed is pretty clear between ben bernanke and janet yellen. and the next year-and-a-half. dagen: in terms of bubble areas or troublesome areas where do you see the most trouble brewing in terms of the fed policy. >> we don't have the same systemic risk brewing because banks through the financial regulation side hold more capital going into last financial crisis, could take an awful long time for problems to emerge that the fed have interest rates of 1% in 2004 and did not enter the financial crisis, could take awhile, any place you can see the relatively elevated price of gold to fall sharply once the fed begins to normalize. in the art market with some -- dagen: $3 million. >> was set last week in new york taxi the total prices. dagen: it hurts speculators and rich folks who wanted. >> there is less systemic risk and some of the impacts. that the fed created, flowed currencies and brazil and other places. connell: it will fall. get a good guy on it when the bubble bursts. crazy. dagen: the royal family brought it. thank you so much. connell: away to what you're smart phone clean if stolen. samsung plan of what it but the carrier's do not want it. dagen: the l a auto show, this is now for detroit, this is where the clock goes to roll out the next generation of cars and you are going to see some of the coming up. connell: speaking of the next generation tomorrow's business, robots is what we are talking about, a number of ways to invest in robots. you will find out about it coming up, markets now. first look at the wheel market and we will be right back.

you hope so. but if you say one thing and do another, that happened, that is much more difficult to fix. is there something i should have happened and be more so than the news conference last week? that is much more difficult to fix that. >> i would say success is like winning does everything in pro sports. winning here would be making a success over the obamacare program. connell: the democratic side said this could be in trouble. but it could still win with it. >> for sure. we are a month or so into this thing, and long-term rollout in terms of all the consequences, repercussions of obamacare. there are things that may yet be unexploded, if you will. but if you look at the poll numbers, it is not among republicans, it is among independents and really among big surprise, democrats who see this rollout and say he screwed up, and they are down on the president at this moment, that is why you see the big declines in approval ratings and support for obamacare. connell: they're worried about the next election and whether or not they get blamed for this. maybe it is too late, but why not two or three weeks ago sometime in october even we knew this was a mess, why not just have a reset, shut it down for little while and we messed it up, terrible rollout, misinterpreted, we will stop for a while and we will restart it. do you agree with the strategy? >> if you and i had a disagreement or something, i'm sorry i said that, let's start over. but in this situation there is something the president said yesterday talking at the financial form would on by the "wall street journal." he said in this lyrical environment they're going to have to restart and rebrand obamacare. what that meant to me was you know what, he is always reacting keeping in mind uniform republican opposition both in terms of capitol hill and the republican public to this idea. they are always cautious, reluctant to admit mistakes, restart for fear the critics will simply overwhelm them and condemn them. their own actions and failures are what are condemning them at the moment. connell: from a political standpoint giving leverage to negotiate, ability to get what he wants. >> that whole process right now is somewhat stalled. it is not stalled over obamaca obamacare. lotta people say it is better these days out of it. this stalled whether or not you have added revenue and spending cuts. connell: the same old issues. you will know what is going on. good to see you as always. dagen: i love him. connell: he is great. dagen: this is now the hottest auto show. hotter than detroit, new york, this is the one where the new cars gets debuted. connell: let's talk about robots we had more and more of them all around just about every sector in the economy. it makes it more efficient and all that. we are going to about investment opportunities. dagen: is best buy a start two smart stock?

one attorney who says get ready for a new era of banking regulations this hour of "markets now" and it starts right now. how much banking regulation are we talking about here, dennis? that is what we will talk about. dennis: i want to see it opens the way for a ton of new investor lawsuits. that and other stuff coming up. stocks every 15 minutes, let's go to lauren simonetti at the floor of the new york stock exchange. i want to 16. lauren: up a third of a percent. the nasdaq and the s&p turning around two days of losses, so finally in the green. a lot of reports out, data retail sales very good, inflation ultimately. you could say some investors sitting on the sidelines. that index is down 1.5%. back to you. dennis: thank you very much. cheryl: president obama pushing his fix for the obamacare. fobut the public may not be on s side. the latest on probably a tense meeting for the president himself having some critics in that room. >> he's going to need some help, a staggering drop in support for obamacare over the last month. 31% of americans disapprove of a law, 12% drop in just one month while 61% disapprove. part of the reason is people cannot keep their insurance plans. they have been phased out under obamacare. the president announced a fix allowing them to reissue those plans however they have to sign off from the state insurance commissioners in their state. they lost another state, indiana saying it will not allow insurance companies in their state to do so. releasing a statement saying such action would seriously destabilize indiana insurance market and create logistical chaos fueling even more uncertainty, cindy and adjoining states like georgia, massachusetts, rhode island, rhode island. there are number of democrats on capitol hill calling for changes on the law. >> there should be a transitional year. it takes time for this. the transitional year be this year, shop, get the product right, get the market right and get the rollout right. >> the website will be working for the majority of the people by the end of this month. cheryl: rich, thank you. dennis: sticking with health care, key health care official admitting in test my to congress 30 to 40% of healthcare.gov still needs to be built. given how well they did the past three years to build the first 70%, it is going over swimmingly well. chairman and ceo of th ehealth. you wrote a letter to its go to offer to help out. tell us what you offered and what you heard. >> we have done this for years and years. the amazon.com of health insurance. we wrote a letter to the president offering to help, we will take is over while others are trying to fix the federal government exchange to get people enrolled because at the end of the day this is all about enrollment, not about building a glitzy exchange. dennis: i mention they responded pretty quickly. >> i am still waiting for a direct response. a little bit of interaction, but nothing specific. at this point it is obvious they are not going to use us to do that. fixing what they have and that is all fine and dandy. i hope it works well, in the meantime a lot of people whether you like the law or not, it is the law of the land. dennis: rb at a point this is far more dangerous than technical glitches that they are in jeopardy financially? >> i don't know that, but it is tainted. the survey results indicate that. getting to the point it is in a turnaround situation, that is how we looked at it. dennis: ehealth in 10 years or so enrolled 3 million people in insurance exchanges, they go on your to shop for this stuff and 40% were never insured before. he may have been an ideal fixer and you helped set up the healthcare.gov information site to begin with a couple of years ago. >> in the first year of 2010 became the law of the land, we put up a website called healthcare.gov which is an information website for the government. we had it up and running in 60 some days. we offered it to turn into a transaction site. they went through the government procurement process and decided to go a different way. dennis: and internal contractor they had used before. a group that got booted out of canada. >> that was then, this is now. today we have to get people enrolled. one thing i would like to hear the president talk about his use of private sector to help in all of this. he talks about the insurance companies being vilified and demonized in the past. dennis: he has been vilifying and demonizing them. is this why they cannot turn to you? >> if they would just turn to us right now and give us the capabilities to enroll people, we could help a lot. you have to get people enrolled. it is not based on government websites, it stands or fails based on enrollment. especially getting young people enrolled. based in the early things we have seen, that is not happening very effectively. dennis: the sign-ups were pen and paper. >> look, my kids are in their 20s and they will not use paper. they want to do this at 2:00 in the morning. that is how young people transact and that is how to do it in our business. for the president to really get this to work i have got to find a way to bring the private sector together to deliver on this so they can get people enrolled otherwise we will have different conversations about obamacare. dennis: if they do the sort of committee meeting seven different private exchange offers, it will be even more, located, isn't it? >> i only know one. we have been at this for a long time, let us help, mr. president. we bear all the cost to make money doing this, a us-based company, born and bred, we hire people, we can get a lot of people enrolled right now. we are paid a by the insurance companies. it cost the consumer nothing. dennis: thank you. cheryl: retail to restaurants to text, someone's manaus companies find themselves and make it or break it mode fighting for survival. today we're going to one of retail's biggest names, that is best buy. rebounding a bit after tanking on the company morning that dress to be reduced holiday prices could hurt the margins. adding to weakness seen in the past month after an impressive year-to-date run-up where the stock literally quadrupled in price. here to make it or break it today, gentlemen, welcome to both of you. you saved best buy is not an investors best bets, this is a breaking moment for the company. why? >> you are seeing operating margins will continue to deteriorate even after the hit the cost. this is a really good management team making the best of a really bad situation. they are doing everything right to keep the customers who come to their stores. i don't think there's anything they can do to attract customers to their stores who do not shop there now. i think you're going to see continued deteriorating costs, continued margin of declines competing and the cost cuts are going to run out in a year or so. my valuation is just. cheryl: you are saying the price matching isn't going to work. do you agree with that? >> i don't agree with that whatsoever. up 1.7% in the u.s. in the third quarter, the best performance since 2010. talking with operating margins up year-over-year for the last two quarters so i am not sure what he is doing. may want to press f9 and recalculate. cheryl: respond to that. >> anthony's gross margins are down 11 quarters in a row. operating margin up, that is fine. did a lot of really smart things. our margins are up on cost cuts. that makes sense. if gross margins continue to decline. the comp being up, best performance since 2010, down nine of the last 11 quarters. up twice, down nine, down more than up and it will continue that way. cheryl: you disagree with the price margins. but this is why you say the company is going to make it. you say there is better execution, so you like what they're doing in stores. >> absolutely. it does invent devices, distance and devices. pull out the smart phone, see amazon has it for $100 less and buy it from amazon. the other thing is shop in shop. samsung and windows, a much better assortment, much better customer service, a much better experience for the consumer. cheryl: you have the sustainability of the turnaround plan. from the hotel industry actually said flat out, look, i don't care if i have to cut prices, i am in it to win it. >> anthony is right, people who come into the store i think best buy is executing flawlessly. we will keep those customers, they will keep the guy from coming in and buying it online. they're going to stem the bleeding. they cannot win a new customer. if you are an amazon customer are not going to quit going to amazon because best buy will match prices. i bought a multi-juice pack on amazon. i could have printed out and gone into best buy and got a price match, but why would i bother? i am done, i am happy. cheryl: respond to that question. >> it is not clearly only place you can buy consumer electronics is amazon or best buy. they are very strong competitor but a lot of other places trying to take market share. whether it is from mom and pop. there is a lot to go around. cheryl: gentlemen, thank you to both of you, appreciate it. >> thank you. dennis: key on plymouth numbers skewed to help the president. liz macdonald is doing some digging for us. cheryl: we will be live the l.a. auto show. talking to the genius some say behind these commercials. >> on my right is the new dodge durango. on my left is one horse. with 1 horsepower. it makes you feel pretty dumb, doesn't it?

another question. $30 billion settlement $4 billion for consumer really standing up to $1.7 billion reducing principal on my home under water so how did that bad stuff jpmorgan did in that settlement caused my home to be under water? why do they have to pay that? >> it was predatory lending practices during that period so people who should not have spent in the lowe's bid if they did not bring that up they've misrepresented the quality of bonds. and he did not force $1 million of somebody and they took it? brickbat goes back to overstated in combat false appraisals. dennis: and what about the person seeking fair income? it was not the bank. >> it was a two-way street they reusing extensively mortgage brokers and i think some of those practices are under investigation as well. dennis: predatory lending -- lending, a pate to million-dollar is, how is my home underwater j.p. morgan's paul? was a that my fault? >> it was inflated because of the practices of jpmorgan and other banks. dennis: to be those that were inflated by the government policies that said we want everybody in the world to buy a home if they can afford it or not? those practices? >> i don't think that is what the government said in those time periods but that other banks are creating these mortgage based securities that were ill investments. dennis: but the government guarantees everything out there. >> a blood pumps the loans into the vehicles knowing that they would not have to worry about collecting. dennis: when we heard a great worry about moral hazard to bail out the financial risk taker they take more risk. doesn't create moral hazard for homeowners with the bail them out for those that are under water even though we did not do anything wrong? garett we need the gatekeepers to be true gatekeeper. us so we have to make sure it is income verification that the appraisals are accurate and the loan to value is adequate. dennis: thank you for telling the banks how to do their job bridal think to answer the question but thank you for being here. cheryl: time for your "the west coast minute" apple got the go-ahead for the new campus but they have to pay higher taxes. they see a reduction of sales tax rebates the write-off will go from 50 percent down at 35%. we'll get shares it will not hurt earnings but that was the last trade. department of interior said it paid the state of alaska's $19 million more of royalties for gas development on federal land a gives them a slice of royalties killed the energy companies is also getting more from its own control land. just out of hawaii, as state lawmakers said he was so disgusted by the increased amount of homelessness in the state he took matters into his own hands. tom brown refused a sledgehammer to smash at least 30 shopping carts dashing and the front wheels critics say he is victimizing when he should be helping. that is your "the west coast minute". dennis: back to back with a cable maker overturning the fashion channel in to a men's network to a month ago the style to know was scrapped made into "esquire" it has gone from 20 percent down to 6% and then it under age 50 have doubled. last night was a new high point of to workweeks -- workmates to be to others' brains out in the up boxing ring. >> adjusted deal with pbs other dramas starring on terror irish alumni jerry and the dividend also is a rights to all past and future episodes of the series downton abbey. i don't get it. and now a new tv show canceled after just one episode. a huge audience but sun canada said it was too costly to produce record is very expensive to uncover the life and unfolding train wreck. the international space station and properly funded could be the answer. cheryl: take a look at the winners on the nasdaq. you know and love them. maybe not but there you go. ♪ ♪ sometimes they just drop in. always obvious. cme group can help you navigate risks and capture opportunities. we enable you to reach global markets and drive forward with broader possibilities. cme group: how the world advances. cheryl: asset trying to hail a cab to the international space station to end 2017 to fly four crewmembers every six months then to catch a ride with russia with each trip costing $60 million per person they will award the contract next summer. dennis: pushing the boundaries to create machines that learn and reason and interact the one on jeopardy was just the beginning next creating the next big thing after the internet. cheryl: higher mortgage rates taking its toll on wholesales but try telling that. owners share, just as some send, coming up in the next hour. ya know, with new fedex one rate you can fill that box and pay one flat rate. i didn't know the coal thing was real. it's very real... david rivera. rivera, david.
