Land a Government Contract

" Oh one of the foxbusiness.com. Live Chris Dodd and Tracy -- with you a little different said he -- behind us you are. This is the have a lover on and I can't have this -- as we start over Nirvana music again and start over again have that. How are you other than taller than me. I am great thank you -- look this -- David yeah. We got a decent market considering that 93 point 92 points in -- the quiet nice throughout the triple digits as little while you'll what's the word and more toward the toppled where we've been all day and that's exciting we're getting some news on retail we talk about that later on the shelves that's more health care to talk about a bill little bit different angle and interesting angle. A -- you actually need use of all that time he's been in the airport. In terms -- health -- will talk about that and now we've also got some interesting news on numb. On a jobless stuff when it's -- about as well the weekly reports coming out and actually just get right to Robert Gray and -- yet because it and that's all that retail that I am right here. Using your spare time if you have it done and expressed spy in the in the airport see them around. The other night our proposal at night and have to admit that I."

" Many petty and then. -- That -- are. -- Face of I call them more as -- Yeah they go yet and our detention Nadia and then people where there was going to say those consumer discretionary is back in the nose await. And then there you know they had in May -- they had you cut staff or something but there -- a lot of people and -- the many pennies and then we can slide by on your next trip that would -- are you finding that -- but nonetheless in that sort of goes into the next thing -- mean I was down in North Carolina over the weekend."

" Which is roughly two from the airport and lots of people the model going to the mall lot but the most Pactiv against a beautiful day. And instead of people being outside Agassi and used to it going to get more beautiful warm days you know we have here. But I know there in the mall shopping and only shopping but buying people had actual -- stuff back they were yes purchases I was I was on the hunt the whole time announced. Outside you know saying look I'm I'm checking this out actually -- Islamic self but is all we -- we're at now are you finding and the numbers that we're getting about thirty retailers announcing that it doesn't have a chain store same stores sales today what do you find it was born -- means the first time we saw. A monthly gain for same store sales these same store sales in stores open at least a year and -- rising over the year prior prior in the -- since August of 2008 to the first time you know in thirteen months we did see and other a lot of factors at play. And you know done Tracy's Bruton was played -- this because back to school was later for a lot of yeah I'm not sure was for your family but. The way Labor Day fell on the calendar sort of back to school bled and the September little bit more we talked about this. Phenomena maybe it's not so new but of the sort of back to school back to school shopping where you go back to school see what's going on what's hip what's hot you go back and -- a little bit more Charles Payne was talking about his kids today on the air. Yeah the Macy's luckily it was a school I don't have to deal that yet I got my uniforms I don't get that at all but lean and lots of schools and it started before Labor Day so I thought that August would have seen. War. After school's lunch now the death -- to help out. -- have lower gasoline prices this year versus a year ago definitely has to be a factor when you think about that. We also have pets on demand and the easy comparison because last year's September we don't know what happened after Lehman Brothers. In -- market started taking it a lot of two can be started to lay off workers that now starting to accelerate. A lot of uncertainty in September in the -- the news was was pretty dire on a daily basis of people were sort of you know battening the hatches a little bit. And we then the -- in baton all the way since then at some point this pent up demand starts to come back out. -- jobless claims out today they are better than expected it's still a big number 521000. But the trend is slowly but surely marching lower on the weekly jobless front."

" With these individual needs on the retail side. You know you have a wide spectrum you have Limited Brands announcing the same store sales increase -- percent in two years. Kohl's continues to get it done TJ max very impressive but you have. Some like Macy's target com the Abercrombie Fitch loved him but who who have less."

" Bad right -- regular sales -- so it's almost like they're still down from a year ago I was that is available to 18% of the stock is rising because it better than we are better than they've not mean any better than a complete as that person."

" just chatting before we came on. -- the odd things is that analysts however they've not been the -- either that they were at predicting. The team we let -- tell -- to do the worst I don't know if it's because last year was fantastic but to me. Back to school is all about the teen -- and these were the stores that faired the best of and you you talk about Arab most often share they're -- that nineteen offset the -- still get it done up 5%. You know headed to pop in there just to check it out the month last week because we talk about all the time there aren't any. In New York I proper I think it may be a couple of New Jersey now but."

" But you know what -- they're giving -- doors away. So okay this is still need be the problem margins -- nothing -- they have slashed prices. You walk into these especially for the kids into our star is 40% off. In until September so its Christmas since September."

" It is safe you know let you and I are people going to do on volume the right Wal-Mart way and the problem is listed -- have the margins -- but. Look at the stock market today Amy -- what is is that they're showing the American consumer is more resilient native people thought. 52 week highs from Macy's Kohl's as an -- limited target. I JC Penney and -- at the end of the department stores yet that sales are down but. The -- the seeing is that the rate of decline seems to be slowing and people are taking part you from now -- you know what it. For -- the next couple of months that they don't beat by a lot. We've got trouble because last year we know it only got worse in October November December you know is is the sales continue to fall. That this is their bread and butter as a retail price because even come the holiday season. We don't eat them -- don't -- clothes that -- gadgets these days now it's now or never for these retailers sell in September and I'll end up that last report was wholesale inventories by the way to. Inventories continue to get depleted so there -- selling things off of the 4050% mark down but they don't have as much rights in stock there. And the wholesale sales were up for four months of people are -- of -- those who -- and I should -- to GDP later on yes ought to -- is that -- that's on the people are watching pretty close -- thanks Robert. Our future and."

" Tom -- let's head of the government house CEO blt capital he's out in Rio. Joins us right now Tom welcome to show yeah. Thank you. On what do you make of of what Doug Roberts is said about the inventories in this sort of some what we've seen today in retail -- you find that. That's sort of a leading indicator positive sign that moving forward even though maybe the top line won't be there in the holiday season at least for getting some of the supplement Bakken light. Though the depleted inventories are going to see more of these companies buying from the wholesalers and now adding to GDP."

" I think you've got a number of factors having a few teenagers in our home as well. -- we definitely saw them go out and shop they were much more budget conscious but that you know they laid back over the summer and so there is pent up demand. And I also think you made a great comment that the American consumer Americans in general are pretty resilient so. I think that we're going to see still are holding period through the holidays sales aren't going to be great it is nice to see the inventories dropping. Because that means that manufacturing will be picking up again starting to fill up. And we're going to see you know some continued signs of recovery is going to be slow it's not going to be a big big push. But I think that the retailers are figuring out how to cut their costs. How to make money at smaller margins. And how to get to the consumers back into the stores."

" Could come look at all at the consumer at the end Tuesday wouldn't talk more about retail numbers with replica gear and a few minutes but let's talk about big picture now. -- starting to see some signs of growth in many different areas this economy were still weighed in on the consumer without really to -- get his ball rolling again. We received for the next six months as far as the market and the economy go."

" You know that probably a little bearish on the consumer and general consumers aren't going to free up their wallets until they feel comfortable on the job market. And the job market's not going to feel comfortable until there's a flow of capital and right now there continues to be a pullback on flow of capital were actually you know reversible Los that he. As the banks pull back from landing it in almost all sectors. And if the banks don't lend to the businesses the -- businesses cannot continue to grow in if they can't grow they can't hire. So I think you're going to see a a in elongated. Recovery. Probably even called stagnation with some some pressure from the markets because the capital."

" So what has happened to sort of break this cycle that we're in right now with the banks on not lending money because they really don't have to lend as much money. To be able to make money and -- did they're all profitable we saw last quarter and you'll see it this quarter what has to happen to sort of break them out that it. And get them pumping that that capital as he sit right back into the consumer's hand."

" At the great question and the banks are so risk adverse today. That they can borrow from the Fed at a very low cost and turn around by fed treasuries. And have a nice spread why would they go out -- So and the big guys get to play that. The small community banks have so many negative assets on their books and have did have the FDAC rightfully. You know hammering on them to get those off their books. That they have to be leveraged so my my solution is that that's private capital plot plus private enterprise equals our recovery. So -- I think you're going to see a big move in investments towards the private capital private equity side and look for dividends businesses that are that are profitable. CIT closing you know being being in a very negative position. Continues to hurt. The business markets and so we have to have a flow of capital back to business -- For any type of growth."

" But you're talking basically about allowing capitalism to rain free and allowing. Business did just happen on its own and that's not what's happening we seem to have our hands -- thanks to. Our regulators down in Washington DC -- who. I I agree completely what you're saying at the same time we're getting very mixed signals and their -- they're not lending money they're not doing what there's."

" Us to be doing. We are we are so far from capitalism and much more towards the controlled economy and and the government literally is picking which ones survive and which ones fail. And CIT again as a perfect example. You know it's the last failure that was and they're very close to that scenario. It was Lehman and what happened after -- so you know why are they not too big to fail when they've got a million customers business customers. And not having that flow of capital FDIC is not allowing them to take deposits at this point. That you also and that's a really -- peace after more you know micro level the small independent banks. There have there in the exact same position they cannot get the capital flowing -- were using. Them the money multiplier of where depositor puts in a hundred into the bank in the bank gets sick multiply that ten times to get out. Through the communities through lending unit and the circular velocity of money. It's actually the opposite right now."

" Tom this all comes back to Lehman is that what you're you. Know I'm."

" I'm not saying it's like that I -- and I don't think that CIT should be should be necessarily say I'm saying that why are we saving certain banks that then are allowed to. Go out and invest in treasuries but not get the capital back out in the marketplace we do need a stable. Economic financial system and I think that they're working at the government's working out that but at the same time we're picking which companies survive. At the expense of other companies and were spending. Incredible amounts of money at the -- at the treasury and and government side without it being. Actually -- into the marketplace as quick example of that is if the consumer borrow some consumer borrowing is is weighed down if consumer borrowed they've borrowed generally to consume if businesses borrow. They generally borrow to make products and services which gets the flow of capital back in the marketplace because they have to hire employees. That is the sector that is getting no lending -- and so consumers are pulling back and the businesses have no money to expand."

" unfortunately it's getting our small businesses the hardest are -- Norris Tom -- Chief Executive Officer at ELP capital thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us today."

" Thank you I tell -- appreciate it coming up an expert flicking your going to join its talk about retail clothing. Welcome back and I know you do you like even more than hawking."

" Like acting and doing my my economic good deeds even with the U. Welcome back at the end lag it is 1215 an east coast 9:15 analysts this morning to all of you out there tuning in we're going to talk retail now and I -- check -- I don't let me tell all they want. And thankfully people are out there shopping I'm not the only one Chris Cotter. Brent Clinton Years here to talk about the number of birds. And they wear a little bit better than we thought they would be."

" A little bit better tracing Chris at Wal-Mart in the last quarter. Reported was negative both nationally and internationally for the first time in the company's 47 year history. Still seeing double digit declines with a lot of the department stores. Lot of specialty stores Abercrombie & Fitch you're seeing a little less disappointing. With Macy's you're saying. The people that are really doing well tracing Chris are the off -- players TJX Carol Meyer which is ruled marshall's size. TJ max it's Eric Ross Stores storm well and then on the other side of Abercrombie & Fitch down deep double digits. It is Aeropostale. Which is up as much. Yeah economy is what are they doing that at a -- is not doing because they seem to me be very similar in terms of their markets in today's segment to what is -- now doing so great that out of Cummings who support. Aeropostale is much closer to students and young adults with affordable basic fashion price points and innovation. Wear Abercrombie site saturated the US similar what capped it with -- gap's stores and then two with. Profit pressure from institutional investors to pump up the stock price. Raise prices and now Hollister and Abercrombie are beyond the reach of most American consumers especially students were there were third 30% teenage unemployment it was."

" I'm sorry but it was a bad move I mean it's very -- spend forty dollars on -- for your kid -- you can do it yet even good times -- want to do -- are some of these are having success now in terms of the same store sales are -- to -- point earlier."

" I think cutting their margins so much right now they're at at the absolute limit into the the most in grocery store weapons and are there really get."

" Chris what you and tracer reference thing is that. Triple Crown for the retailers is they're putting a lot of pressure on the suppliers. To provide more I'm markdown money and deeper discounts fully funded by the suppliers they've gone back to all the shopping center real estate investment trust. The next ticking time bomb that'll blow up so they've had a rents reduced in at the same time. Retailers have cut over half a million employees in the last six months so they've they've cut costs so they're making more money but they're not driving top line demand. You've said that this is this is an. And retail recession where are we in the retail accession states -- stage alien Trace their strategic resource group fox forecasts within nineteen months ago was a thousand day retail recession. We've got another year ago now it's really retail regression it's. A number of retailers in shopping centers to go bankrupt in the next year. The well capitalized highly capable competitors will do well we'll have more procurement power lower pump prices to shoppers -- shoppers standard of living. While the weaker ones won't be able to recapitalize this is -- reference and in the prior segment. The government should not be writing of the rescue the real estate investment trust. And if everybody wants to get a great Christmas present the administration and consumers for the Christmas Chanukah holidays he. Is to put an investigation. On oil and energy prices because based on consumer and commercial demand oil should be trading at. 25 to thirty dollars a barrel less than where it is now -- relation an 821 ratio the natural gas which is about five. Should be trading about forty that would save consumers about. Forty billion dollars putting purchasing power in their pockets for the holidays it was savory -- would save the -- they spend it though that's the questions do it the more money at consumers have it was a savings rates are still -- They're not nearly size they were even a couple months ago very little -- just been very -- point you raise raising Chris. They'll save half to two thirds of it. But on an annualized basis that consumers could save about a quarter of a trillion. The administration to its creditors already announced are going to have the investigation but they haven't had the investigation. So as you have more oil in storage and diesel and heating fuel at 27 year highs interns and inventory Nat gas I can be -- could really save the world and save the consumer. Just by getting the manipulators out in the market and so I was gone down he said some help close what. What companies will close over the next couple months. Tracing -- the ones were worried about is the Sears Kmart combination has a lot of debt due next summer Rite Aid postpone it's that put in our view. I have Walgreens has ten pharmacist per store for H1N1 flu shots doctor Tom Ryan and his team at CBS has the same. Rite Aid in our view doesn't have a sufficient number pharmacists flu season could save the company. But if this point it doesn't seem like there's well prepared as is their competitors. And then we said I've -- companies have been great growers on a regional basis -- food and drug -- the largest chains in the southwest. File for bankruptcy -- a little bit earlier. And were very worried about all the department stores with the exception Nordstrom's. May Macy's. -- and panic."

" Now. Back to -- nobody's ever in the."

" And you're you're right Tracy. Nobody's in a Macy's but it's the competitors go bankrupt the suppliers have to keep subsidizing Macy's. So Macy's will live to fight further into the future. What about this holiday season mean in his overall how do you see a plane itself out with a date is the big winners in the big losers in what they gonna have to do to survive. Chris its strategic resource group on fox -- on the economy class every year but we've been right for four years in a row so. We're calling the holiday down minus two point 9%. National retail federation International Council of Shopping Centers assaying between plus wandered down minus one thing you're. Bearish yeah we -- we think the consumer to the segment you and Tracy just did which was so good consumers more cash and credit constrained than ever before and you. US history you'll look at the -- six. How we think unemployed or underemployed is going to be 26 million people by the beginning of the year. And -- and the average work week down to 33 hours. People spend on food fuel and pharmacy. But in terms of apparel and and other discretionary items. They're going to postpone purchases and wait for more retailers are going to be more desperation discount."

" Every at a -- in two seconds you know we always think retail we -- a lot of stuff into retail -- to viewers wrote in saying he got electronic she got closure got jewelry. Any particular sector within retail you think is going to do well."

" Apple retail is going to be the best premium product rates great service I TT -- the world Ross CBS. Walgreens with a new CEO leading green electronics not so much that just Apple. Just just Apple -- in this segment we did last month or special situation by I was was AMP for fox. That's up almost 40%. For your viewers since we recommended probably topped out but there are some very good place within retail you own any of got out of 5 AMP. Just have about ten shares of TJX laughed and out of the opposite effect -- yeah Wal-Mart to Cornell stuff."

" Yeah good for you the Dallas beat us. I really appreciate thank you -- certainly figures -- us the lowdown on you know all things streak down my doctors here bring in its second with a -- in a little bit you know. Icicles -- not -- ideas. What do they look so healthy and fit."

" He's right isn't -- fox doctors doctor anyway I got some of the -- effort to do know how well the markets and today I think I'm not ended in the right direction I have to of course the locate them that they are hiding place right now Wall Street's OK I don't discuss the Dow Jones Industrial Average Atlantic and one of our viewers actually pointed out."

" But Barnes & Noble the books aren't moving off the shelf no there's not much like Macy's nobody in the store. The stock is down over 7% today with interesting with Barnes & Noble those same store sales down four point 3% for August and September. Online south on -- 8% you just want to say wants to send them to announce of -- yeah. It's fair trade Amazon long borders saying -- out. And then she got married at international today -- may actually be even though they swung to a fiscal third quarter loss. But they're revenue per room. Down. Down almost 24% they were expecting it began about 16% this is what's killing us back and that's their bread and butter the money they make -- room. So apparently they're not charging enough for so and extra pillows and things like baton. -- pizza kitchen with upgraded today apparently. Analysts act he banks seem to think that this company the company's ads bottom people are going to start coming back they have a new wine is casual dining at the hardest thing to figure out right now summit doing well some are not doing -- violent armed. And I don't -- and Leon and things like that up almost 10% even though it seems -- still they're down 8% but they have a new one that's all that he she wanted to date ongoing. It -- that -- Florida also is moving today in Cleveland with a lot acts in the stock goes up and down a lot but JC Penney's is going to be the exclusive department store outlet. To carry that -- namesake brand and of course then they'll do. QVC. Handling their distribution but it's it's a big liver and your big -- today if eBay. He depicted two week my if you can believe this it was recently buy from --"

" I believe that they'll again with -- channels -- tell people that might one use stuff so that's a little less expensive good even throwing it into the south I'm glad I'm an outside that's going to happen for us for the segment it's -- my doctors here much he would challenge him. We've got to also coming up we're going to talk to. The rose Mattel is very interesting story coming entrepreneurship -- in airports you're going to want to statesman he spent a lot of time. Sinner I believe that the leaflet asked that about this it would -- back."

" Welcome back FEM live I have to tell you that you can get tied to this just about any way you want these days.

" I know he is going to talk with him in just a little -- first -- talk to Rosemary Kelly an as an irishman I certainly appreciate chatting with Rosemary Kelly -- anytime I -- Rosemary. The chief marketing officer for the -- clinic and we appreciate you joining us right now and but my question about this is well first of all once explained to people what this clinic it."

" At the end -- the Wagner as a tired men myself I'd -- today -- I'm aero -- is. Dedicated is the -- environments and have. -- Like immediately and a your boy and another in Philadelphia. Where about -- at -- eat in Charlotte ear like. And we are focused on directing -- the traveler community. As well as C. I employee unity that work this year like.

" This year so Rosemary anyone can show up you don't need insurance. To show up and one of these."

" You doubt I'll take -- actually -- that we also are on all of this -- Eric insurance plan. Don't eat meat is about and if somebody does it hack it I'm -- we provide them with paperwork they need that they and pilot apparently -- company -- eight."

" now I imagine with the flu -- being what it is right now especially people non they've got to be cooped up in a plane for the next six hours in his mettle to move. Plan across the country and everybody else is sick. Your demand for flu shots has been skyrocketing."

" Yet there's a lot like in the year line. On -- get in general. Vote isn't -- as well as they -- and mine. Area though. Leave that up about two and a half ago in our three air 408. At an act like Alex Kelly. We have yacht that are out on the on what is it like it -- it is possible. People that get at the back yeah. Though it gate and he went after he died about 9000. The back seat -- all 38. And you can hear that the last year we it eight bout in the entire. Pack here so."

" Let me -- this flu shot 35 does I could just show up and get it. I don't know maybe because I'm just this constant skeptic these days but it just kind of makes me nervous feminist show but an airport some going to shoot some in my arm now. Why she can't because -- declined to think it goes a clinic on you know seventh avenue union are the same thing. But yeah thank you -- he's my fears god."

" Well -- are trained medical perspective now who are. Were administering the -- mean. And there's the -- prospect that we go through it every I think people are. We actually. It is third act they make sure our. He had this theory that I eat out. -- that. You know like the -- elected -- they actually absolutely acting is the act though. There -- a very let. At eight that your appropriate -- date is yet to act. At and we asked people that they at he got bored -- Eckert is apt it would. Because that you're gonna have very act it will happen immediately by. He that that we've been even -- the last three years and he's he's not without anybody that it and well."

" Programmed -- going to have a pretty solid season that's Chris noted everyone the flu is eleven police swine flu everyone's worried about it. So I'm sure your little kiosks will be busy."

" The outcome around Yucca Mountain in Atlanta and Charlotte Dallas and Philadelphia right now goes really appreciate you stopped by the sale analysts at the light at length thank you very I'd --"

" I think Kelly the -- companies the aero clinics and you'll I think is so great about this I'd love to go get a flu shot just don't have time. Because as we all know fox business and -- about 1417. Hours a day. You're generally right -- they had us on trying to go to open a -- as late on a flight and the Clinton camp would be perfectly -- use my time. And you just want -- and she doesn't well we've got the doctor here doctor seal Mark Siegel is here with -- medical contributor. Don't you think it's safe to go to a clinic that's an accredited clinic the clinic whether it's in the airport or not what would you feel safe getting shot in this Clinton."

" We're sure you can examine the mile -- these these vials are made up a certain way you can check them for authenticity. And you're pretty healthy guy but they don't think that was a Jericho five cents may have had an Odyssey that vial pulled -- and it goes -- and they're gonna let me know you know look who's given a gunman I I would agree with your -- point Chris I think it's pretty safe to do this yeah. -- it's a pretty safe there -- you -- anyone who you wanted to -- you feel better if you know who's doing."

" I hear I still hear swine flu swine flu H1N1 all across the board. They're getting better is getting worse. The strange becoming more resilient to vaccines where we stand with this whole thing."

" Well it came out of Southern Hemisphere. Which -- their winter yet given you historical background right here it is it resurfaced back here in the United States it is not changed a lot. Which is good news these type of -- viruses each one and ones they tend to stay pretty stable and hasn't mutated a lot. It seems to be the same it looks like. It's made its way around the country it's been in at least 26 states have had very big outbreaks of of -- what's really -- was actually in the New York Times today. And we've cut -- in advance. The places that had big outbreaks in the spring like here in new York and we're not seeing a lot of yet. That's because we may have some immunity bill that's very good news in other words where went in the spring. You're not getting -- so fast coming back and a lot of people. Actually we're immune they're people that were exposed to within never got that people had a cold the -- which -- the cold it was really a mild version of this. But here's the bottom line. It's a flu. It's a mild flu in the sense cause it's not killing a lot of people. But it flows -- so if you have a chronic illness if you have asthma if you're pregnant woman here at more risk so I what I'm worried about it unconcerned about it enough. To want to see everybody vaccinated. Because if I vaccinated everybody I can protect people most at -- people don't know this but the way to protect. You know my four year old is for everybody in the family to be vaccinated not just tenth."

" No one brings it home which is and I just took my kids for flu shots my son is slightly asthmatic. So you're saying he should get a swine flu shot as well so completely. He should -- and then therefore you're saying my entire family she gets one."

" Because he has asthma because as we -- is less resistance to this and because this particular flu and most flows effect belongs. And they can bring in secondary infections like bronchitis like pneumonia when the -- is nothing to fool around with it's a mile float in the real problem is its move and another. And another problem with -- it is that it affects young more than old right now that's typical of a pandemic. Typical of a new virus that it that it tends to affect what young people more -- they haven't had a chance to build up immunity to it the way older people are."

" What difference would that would be differs with the swine flu regular flu I would some people say I think I have this one flew I was sick I thought -- might ahead of the mean. When do you know all the studies swine flu because I heard doctor -- talking about this on Afghan livelihood."

" Well right now it's easy because we're not influences. So it's beginning of October you're getting flu like symptoms it's probably the swine flu the pandemic donor base seasons."

" Then yeah I applied that's why not and yeah."

" Secure the Ruth it's -- something else if I had anything going on right now and by the bill what is this season when it's flu season well actual."

" Flu season -- until December or January but it but the pandemic. Come they don't Obey the fear is that quest so it was here in the summer was and all the summer camps now it's coming back that's a lot of the schools it's not quite as bad as we were expecting when it is good news."

" I tell you what it's scary little because my son came home from summer camp and that so and so have the swine flu really didn't need to -- three times but all of a sudden these kids are these kids are even nervous about -- that's actually you bring to move a."

" my other point which is fear we've got to learn how to respond to public health issues without fear but fear of the flow through a vaccine against the -- and we load up with all these irrational thoughts you know this vaccines and so we -- the fear mongers on the vaccine you know. That are going around saying all of this vaccines rushed it's got all these candidates just what it's the same as the yearly flu vaccine but because it's an unknown virus they're ready to say it's an unknown --"

" All right having filed just real quick comment here from Tom in North Carolina you know -- swine flu because you crave pork she's at -- Swanson since I was -- results on. What a pregnant women that's the one thing -- could prove to let up -- no armed and what about pregnant women in terms of the swine flu because I've heard a lot of that the percentages. Of those who. Either have very serious complications and even passed away. Much higher if you're pregnant is that the case."

" At least when you're pregnant women have died since the beginning -- seems ridiculous that a very small number 28 in the whole country. But it it's probably more than that. But it just brings to mind why I'm saying we have to take it seriously for some of the groups that are most at risk are the ones that you really really want to protect."

" Then can you talk to the vitamin. Ratings on vitamin."

" There's no medical evidence on that whatsoever but vitamin. It's good for -- your immune system it's good for your heart thought doing is helping you will fight it better well it's helping you beer healthier state. But you know somebody ought to -- a scientific study before they tumbled this stuff out there there's been no study that has looked at. -- vitamin. But not been shown -- photo -- but not enough fifth except company down the -- threats to ward off the flow now they should be taking for different reasons they don't get enough sun. And because we we we use a lot more sun screen now because they're not getting enough vitamins it."

" Got to someone to stop when sunscreen on and -- completely fried the next coming my Irish skin -- would you like you know lobster about fifteen minutes. -- February lit up by the way you know that adds to it made -- all right thanks for the info on that makes me on the gonna you gonna get him fired up. CBO coming out today saying that 94% of Americans will be insured under this plan that it's going to cost is 829 billion dollars to believe all that let me -- if you expect it to stop at. Now is about the ago facing -- I don't know like twenty minutes and we're going to let doctors see you go off. What do you wish I knows exactly."

" Visit we'll look at the numbers are fake because the reality is I want to know what what their country. I mean the whole goal here is to make it look like less than it is. So that you can go towards revenue neutrality but the reality is so who's going to be cut I mean you don't have to be even a rocket scientist -- I don't know the words I'm much more concerned. About the fifty the 500 billion dollars of cuts we're going to see to Medicare and Medicaid and I baucus. The same time baucus bill wants to extend Medicaid. To another ten million people who by the way the states are going to have to administer the and by the way they're going to. They're gonna -- him. It's impossible to make those cuts. And tell yourself I'm saying that is impossible to make those cuts and -- and continue to have equality and let into this country. Good to cut the hospital to cut to the bone. If you if the feds cut the hospitals. By 500 billion Medicare Medicaid dollars and cut -- commissioners. In the states are going to come along -- because if you -- mistake you've gotta if you got a couple more. If we had more Medicaid patients to the coffers and we don't give the states more money the states are going to cut the hospitals to have already started doing that so cut cut cut. If you cut reimbursements to hospitals and doctors you're going will get less care."

" I've got more on the cost of healthcare which has been doing is here and a little bit on the showed a kind of breakdown -- that happened today. I know you're going to deal a lot more fired up later on today you and -- back for an entire hour right talking about these women oh really okay while the Florida when this special through mountain -- about vitamin C can't know. On May come up and make him a couple of conversations he's -- these things come up there I yeah master plan or. I think days apparently not we'll tell you -- thanks that I I got to see about a couple things you sharply again. This line like that. The vitamins the pusher thing it's it's relative you know this guy thinks that all right though we come back as and its advocates is going to join a Sanders Smith is going to join -- golden sure whatever it was obvious even heard it just -- Blog about going out of -- I'm -- it's not like it is. Is that."

" The soft walk off."

" Getting like three I noticed that does them getting some help as some some some need help with. Needs help believing there that this doesn't -- his or. Come back at it and -- Tyler burns says that as it was this is well thank goodness going to talk on gold to continues. -- run have you done the joint right away from president yeah well yeah. Now -- is that about is let's say it's it's a boil fully --"

" The rationale I was kidding about the -- don't -- our thoughts are out on the cover of darkness."

" And he sold all your gold. You got rid of everything he's though yeah you won't let him -- and in the defensive you you you that your diamonds and know that. --"

" Gold continues to climb NB CTV commercials we see all these people say instead mr. gold -- a -- gold what is this going to stop."

" Preternaturally third and become the big story here is all the sudden it's not just talk on the trading floors there at Fox Business what that gold is hitting records. Also ended dinner table conversation keep talking about the buyers. Chris is out last night you heard Ali yeah looks talking about it you know three got a ranch everybody all the feelings out yeah I got the -- and never mind. -- say say it's become a very mainstream conversation should I buy gold my taxi drivers ask me this question you know. What's happening is there's a flood of money now coming in from retail. Investors and that's really helping gold get -- the last leg up and it's getting while it's still climbing today to a record. And don't ever -- new record that's false. A record amount is in the united by definition right so what we're watching this flood of retail money coming into gold and that's really helping to push it higher. But you start to ask yourself in this a bubble you know in this fundamentally bases rally that we're seeing. Some out there saying no way Jose it shouldn't even be as high as it is when you look at the raw supply and demand in this market gold miners were -- way out today. -- All miners. Over the since 2001 when it -- since for the last beginning of the bowl commodities market. Gold miners and some forty billion dollars in new new mining projects. They're ready for this in their output is climbing in the first six months of this year pulled out what was up about 7%. That's -- really support the rally that we're seeing right now."

" Knowledge gold miners have really outperformed gold in general right of its essence -- go back to march. Ideally we -- looking at this big run that we badly gold miners have done much that it even gold has done."

" I NE US had Jim Rogers on yesterday didn't the talk golden loves to talk commodities in China analyst thinks and he'll always say to you why would you buy the gold. I stocks the gold miners when you have to deal with all the fundamentals of the company in the management at the company and all of variables. When you can just make if you're betting on gold that our guard had gold hill said that -- three years."

" That we had to -- right. -- Frequent back rent owns the world's largest gold mine but it. It is also the single biggest producer of cop media and the world's that you kind of can had your back a little bit kind of play with the contrary you know so silly but. You know I worry that sentence I know you do too is that when your cab driver in your mom right everybody -- and I'm gonna go by gold. They in effect right and also what's happening is they're calling their brokers their brokers are putting them -- these fund these funds that never even thought about being diversified into gold. Now they're getting into gold and what happens is. All the big hedge funds that have been piling into gold out there are so busy mom -- in the heck out. And then all of -- sudden mom and -- who -- at the top of this rally that hurts and that's apparently in an. Usually happens all the time that the average. -- and."

" Even mention the price that we're looking at that I 1060. Dollars. -- right -- that we've seen today so. If this is the fourth straight day of gains it's up about 18% so far this year and and so you know right now is when you start asking is can this really continue and -- folks up there who don't buy commodities because that's a little more difficult obviously a lot more risky. Stock wise -- seeing huge investment flowed to GL do you suppose that have just gone up now it's it's doing pretty well today -- that's the biggest exchange traded fund which is basically an instrument that tracks gold prices. Michigan I felt like -- right. And each scene twelve billion dollars and new investments flow -- to this fund. And the past is so far in 2009 in Pakistan than -- is up over 60% over the last three months and Britain. Great thing that hasn't gotten -- are questioning whether or not this this man yeah bubble about to burst that -- I think golden bubble at that."

" Thanks anything can happen if any is at the date on what's going on with the precious metals. We're going on Richardson announced he ready. Well we're going Delores Lewis Martin gross is joining us right now and veterans adviser on a government contract -- is welcome to the show."

" Thank you thank you know I'd lose you for having me am very excited we have -- we don't have. And we don't have anymore the government has about 800 billion dollars. That they'd need to stand and boy they need disbanded in a hurry. How do we as private citizens small businesses get a little bit to get a piece of that yet."

" You are so right not only the 787. Billion dollars of stimulus program the a RR eight program whether recovery program it's gotten so much publicity. There's so many opportunities out there but there are many opportunities for small businesses and women owned businesses as well. American Express open and -- women impacting public policy team together to form the give me five program. And we're very fortunate very happy to be celebrating our one year anniversary. And that we were able to educate and provide government contract -- Guidance to over 20000. Women in the nation. Those women that there have been several of them that it we're able to capture opportunities. Also we. Talk. That they have V aids and eighties and cheese on government contract and it's very simple for a firm to be able to get. And become a vendor for the federal government he basically just have to do three things. And well yourself -- CCR that the central contractor registration. At CCR dot gov. And growing your company also an orca which is the online registrations. Certification administration. An all of these are all RC a dot -- they all and then dot gov. Also. Familiarize yourself with a very very good web site called fed is or FB boat -- FBI dot gov is the single point of entry where all contracts that are greater than 25000. Dollars will be posted. So as a small business you definitely have an opportunity. To go out they're researching your company's industry and what is that they're doing."

" Look at our question now -- so -- talk lately about getting in bed with the government getting involved the government I don't want -- to -- it's going to start to play with compensation for small businesses. What's the incentive for a small business even want to do this."

" We'll just says video very very good pointers. The FDA just put out this the Small Business Administration just put out their goals. And 93 point nine billion dollars was awarded to small businesses last year. And when I mean last year mean 2008. The government has beginning and you fiscal year October 1 -- their new fiscal year. And they have a -- to me. Because even though they met the 93 point nine billion dollars. Four contract with small businesses they did not meet the 23%. Contract angle that is mandated. To award opportunities to small businesses. Yeah against the mark might mean that desperate to get this money out they have to start pushing these contracts out the door. Definitely they have to start pushing these contracts out the door and they also need to award more contracts a small businesses. Women no small businesses because they did not reach the 5% people. And this is one of the very very important point that we point out that give me five dot com. Which is a website that was created by American Express and -- women impacting public policy. Give me five dot com. Offers a wealth of opportunity and information. For any women owned business. Because of that 23%. 5%. Must go to women owned businesses and contract and and we've never reached that mark again says that we've ever gotten. Again have a silly nonsense and then gotten was just last year but he incentive to work."

" With the government I guess is that these contracts can go on for multiple years so they're multiple year contracts that locked me and I get some cash flow for awhile. -- pays as the government KAME. I have we have not only nice it's Palin doing a good job."

" Well let me tell you that when you do register your business and TCI got which is the first thing that a company. Must do to do business with the federal government. You'll notice that they're going to ask you for your militant electronic funds transfer information your company banking information. Because the federal government does pay via electronic fund transfers. If you are small business if you're certified small business you may also abide by the prompt payment act. Which means that the federal government may pay you every fifteen days rather than every thirty days. Mean if that's not an incentive to do business with the federal government. Not only are they going to pay you on time. Their checks are definitely not going to balance means there's a mandate that they must do business with you. 23%. And also women have a great opportunity that 5%. Of this. 93 billion dollars should've gone. To women and we miss the mark although it's like 4% was awarded."

" We're going to lose -- satellite we appreciate you joining us thanks for all that info -- these unless you know everybody's well -- thanks voters appreciate lately has said that the very beginning -- a lot of money out there. You you even even this particular case he seemed skeptical. The government not only has suspend all this money would they have suspended in a hurry they almost can't put it out the door quick enough. But a contract that wants a piece of that why wouldn't -- want to stand in line to get."

" I'm quite yet but look at that little money down are down my throat -- on the from a small they haven't spent this stimulus money and any money they spend they spend it just. Wrong so -- I mean what what what what amazes me to me that it's wrong or right spend it on me. That's all I care about give me the money you meet later it's right or wrong promises promises."

" It's not constitute promises promises out of a Colleen knows she's going to join a -- a little -- break we'll get that small biz center at The Wall Street Journal also music efficient now. -- yeah. We'll read that. Promises."

" Your schools welcome the foxbusiness.com. Live -- burns -- that's time for me to tell you what I have my eye on today as men. The magazine they gave us their 49 most influential men of 2009. Night I hate this list. When he needed to top six the top six most influential men in the face the plan for 2009 number six Michael Jackson a gag yet at number five Simon -- very influential terms of being. Business savvy they don't tell that guy a music wise letter -- yesterday at about how about media about savvy wise Mark Zuckerberg FaceBook -- this guy knows what he's doing in terms and money on the web. Rocco bottom of -- three the president number three on the list number two. You Hussein -- so it eat it fast is more important than being the leader of the free world and number one night in a real person Don Draper. From the -- mad at night and that it."

" As a woman I would think that."

" That makes outlook that -- the real the number one guy even real guy in a real sort of fictional character what all men want to be that there is a real man out there that really personifies -- on -- 31 on this -- it. And he's sitting right next to us right now. 31."

" 31 can't go out you know -- you can don't."

" If you Ashton Kutcher. Ashton Kutcher wasn't seventeenth place yeah 31. I think what they've learned is what we've learned here is that they don't know me. It's an island in the hands of these other upper for the back I barely have influence over when I go to the John. I had the idea -- not influential and -- that -- so wrong about that first well in a ride at that they wrote in I was -- even surprised to hear this tonight you know Edward fox weird The Fox Report has ranked as Nielsen Media Research is top rated cable news show for nearly 100 consecutive months S not like 12 quarters wondered once that's why you're influential. Willow watching you and watching anybody know it's a very it's a very influential place that I mean there are a lot of people in this place -- influential to too good dreams that are I mean way higher than I am I don't want to be influential. I would say what what what happened today in the -- go figure out and I think about. There are plenty of people around here whose job it is to influence and none of them are on the list which is weird to me but don't you think it's sort of your more old school like Walter Cronkite was what people would watch that the nightly news and they would say -- trust what that -- says. Walter Cronkite says we lose you warn Vietnam all of a sudden everybody in America so bruised and I pity a nation where on the 31 most influential person."

" Right I just really isn't he top five and to Chris is at the I'm Samantha recap for -- because."

" You report the news and then when you don't yell at the viewer and you know it's now blasts -- the -- and -- got an F bomb and you really sensible places are now it's on the streamers are watching you know we don't know Larry is maybe going to drop the F bomb."

" I. And demand a recount and gets in the top five and that some --"

" Okay okay do you just finished behind Tiger Woods and listening amnesty phenomenal thing about you just behind Tiger Woods and you beat out Hugh Jackman. You would you once -- again I think we learned more about the lives than we do about it but thanks to stop my music -- they'll rebel. Always turn out -- this Saturday on CBS 3:30 eastern noon thirty pieces I've. Growth and Alabama but the good money is on the road all you what he got that one loss out of the way earlier a lot earlier than you thought he would next thing that decision hastily not."

" I'm obviously Colleen and he hungry and -- it's -- Initiative though these will go step of course you've seen at 3 o'clock and 7 o'clock on the Fox News Channel and continued talking about small business though he deserves what he -- you think probably the daisies here in small business that is The Wall Street Journal. What do you think about the 31 analysts and usage should be a lot higher than product."

" Importantly should Don Draper being number one. That's that's a fifth he'd get."

" I got incensed that and it's sort of but it's sort of like what all men. Aspire to be even though they don't it's that -- that's the point of having a number one. On the list is that they spicy and they say I wanna be on any dialing done draperies lobbies. He's been an -- you know he's just lost butler if it was an ad man. I was at the -- why we got here in the first place not to talk about champions aren't bad enough it is music -- promises promises they make it I've -- and I and it's Matsui hit wonder they had another -- think you know what it was you know -- and anomaly are going to get into though is. The small business and we were just talking about how these small businesses being a government contracts well okay that money's there right now I'm might not be the most efficient process. How to small businesses nowadays when it's much more difficult and they get corporate clients when they're really -- their."

" He had corporate America is hunkering down so it's it's tougher than ever for a small business and at a corporate client. But there -- ways to do it and some ultimately just have a government contracts it really does pay to be a woman owned or minority owned business because. Corporations fortune 500 companies -- Have what's called supplier diversity programs that they like to set aside from their contracts for. Women and minorities Tiffany because these companies want those people -- customers they want to outreach into. Women and and minority communities so. What they'd do if they set aside contracts for women owned and minority -- you think it's a good idea to go after these and other definitely should if if you if you if that fits the bill for you you should be certified -- too big certifying bodies that do this. The national of minority supplier development council and we bank which is the women business enterprise national council. So you should deafening do that and Italy were steered banished."

" Now go after corporate clients to me it would seem like kind of the -- for the small business these big Beckett undercut anybody I'm a little guy I -- probably in my living room al-Qaeda everything is getting an -- we do the job."

" yet definitely and one thing that. We've seen which I I think quite interesting as small companies that banding together. To offer services at a pretty low rate to corporations for instance there are for businesses in Chicago. That have banded together. What they do say though that retail shops for corporations. And so each business provides something different when those architectural drawings and other -- color team they come in as a -- from there a united front and they can win a contract that --"

" like a social networking site or anywhere where they can go they say look I provide this part of the service but I need. Being seated really made a complete package and interpersonal things to him that contract -- there."

" I mean Colleen on your husband or your money and we were at last week. Two weeks ago and we were talking about how you gotta use social media as a small he really explain marketing it's a wonderful time to be announced from our."

" But we've seen it come come back a little bit though because we see all these this economic data that looks a little bit more encouraging maybe that it did five or six months ago we've seen these corporations loosening -- little bit and say now it's time to start growing with the least time to go out there. In start. You know talking to people about growing our business."

" Well I think we might see that and maybe in the coming year -- right now from what we hear from business owners is that it's still pretty tough on another business -- we spoke for our story was. What he found is that he had to do the talking himself he -- on how to get the face time with the corporate client. In in previous years he was sent -- staffers subordinates to go meet with the corporate reliant. He this business sounds but the company was trying to get into the four seasons hotel try to get as. But has sold there so we had a south staff don't meet with them they went into the land the client. He waited a few months and then he himself went -- that that would show."

" His commitment and that and that's that's another thing hearing face time with now banks with your clients with your potential clients with anybody out there. But there's opportunity and a coming your wonderful. It is in any patients who. You can -- on the Afghan and hear things. Yeah whatever happened and I was meant three cannot get bacteria can contact Erica analysts couple 102 points again you have to be influential to -- the most influential list is sort of a prerequisite."

" And it's Obama."
