Lasted long because republicans with auggling to come up vote to move the debt ceiling legislation to the president posses death desk the dax dax desk.

Class there you go. Breaking news. Thank you so much. Time for the big story appeared apple is planning to introduce a new apple tv set as early as april. The company is negotiating with Time Warner Cable and other potential partners to add video content. An agreement with Time Warner Cable would mark the first such deal. What does it mean for how you consume your content . Cory johnson joins us now. Jonathan, i will start with you. What will it mean if i have been linked to time warner . What will it look like and how will it change my viewing experience . It is similar to the device they have now in terms of the box itself. If they have an agreement with the cable divider, you will look at the apple user interface. You do not have to deal with the clunky dvr. We will not have to deal with that anymore. Applel tie into the ecosystem. You will able to set your iphone program wherever you are and you can watch all your devices on all your devices. Everybody has been so focused on apple tv. Aligningthat they are with big bag Cable Companies themselves, how does it change the equation for when people might eventually cut the cord so to speak gekko it really is a game changer speak . It really is a game changer. The deals with the cable carriers have been longterm deals they have had. If apple can somehow break into that, they have been trying for some time. The Apple Software instead of the software they have been using, it is an interesting one. At this point, the box has been a way to stream other types of content. We have had one on there now. And apple tv is an interesting product. Apple thinks they have figured , to haveter way cracked the tv code. Cable providers have been very look reluctant to deal with apple because they look at what happened to the record industry and itunes and they do not want to give away their business to apple. If they do not play ball, do they not run the risk of coming effectively obsolete . It seems like you want to play the game. How much will this cost . That is the question. If they are worried about people cutting the cord, the question to you is, how much can Time Warner Cable ring out of apple in terms of content . If you look at gaming consoles and where we are today, i am of the bigef this is the last gaming console lifecycle. Xbox one and playstation for, they are big and expensive. If you look at what apple will do with the tv box, it will probably not cost more than 199 area in the lifecycle of a console, seven years, apple up selling you three or four updates. It is an interesting strategy that i think the company will probably go after. Does time warner or any cable kumble company doing business with apple become like at t and then the interface is what apple is responsible . I am equating it to the iphone. Way to is an interesting think about this. You look at the relationship with the cable provider. It is not just about watching hbo anymore or Bloomberg Television or whatever else. It is also about getting data and the device it goes to star stood be more important. The point about the games is exactly right. Xbox one has a lot of the same features where it could operate as a set top box. They do not have to do with the cable operator. Ive talked to executives on this point. We have bolted and then we would love it if Cable Operators would let people control cable assets through their xbox, but we are not waiting to release a device to get those arrangements in place. You could imagine time warner would offer the apple tv as an addon for customers waiting to pay more for this is a man time warner might become a big customer of apple. My question is if apple is going to put their time and money into the apple tv, what other products are they not going to put money into that investors were thinking about . Class i do not know if that is a great way to put it. Apple is always thinking of what new products categories they will have in the future. We have a big category coming up. I am not sure what they would be diverting money or spending into, but i would be very excited if apple did a tv an update. The moneynk about spent, 18 billion over the last four or five years, you have got to start to ask, when will that pay off . You mentioned wearables. A lot of talk about a watch. We have heard a lot of talk about apple tv. What else is on the horizon . What about for the mobile Payment System . Is that something that might come to fruition soon . With touch id, that is absolutely what will happen. The fact you have fingerprints, one of the most secure ways of identifying yourself, your signature, so to speak, that is huge for apple. Accounts wither active credit cards, the largest in the world. For them to be able to snap their fingers is pretty trivial and we will definitely see that. All the concerns with packing, given what happened to target recently, people are worried about having their information out there. Is linkedory, if it to your fingerprint, maybe more settledeel and protected . Yes. Apple is concerned about privacy and they still think of. Hemselves as software if they were to strike these relationships, this has been so difficult. One of the things not talked about when steve jobs pass was his ability to strike a deal. He was on the phone hounding Music Companies to put their music on itunes. He was personally involved. In the lobbing of the book and a street, he and the Senior Vice President of apple in charge of dealing the book industry, to put their title on the new ipad device, that is something apple has been slow with. Industry has been slow to part with partner with apple in that regard. That brings up a larger point of how much apple will have to pay for the content considering Time Warner Cable worried about losing subscribers. They want to keep their margins juicy. They have to put of original content. That is the question. How much will at the oh will apple put out . This will hurt motorola now. Apple might supplant them in the living room. I think the Cable Operators recognize a better interface might benefit them because they will have happy consumers. Revolutionary. It would mean you have got to get a better modem. My apple tv is a full different ecostand. If you could make it easier, we are there. Thank you. Can watchntioned, you street smart on apple tv. Up next, the french finance minister tells us how he plans to get Business Done with washington and in washington. Cash is only king if you could put it to work. We will get insight in action from adam johnson. More after this. Welcome back. Taking a look quickly here on the markets. We are looking at a mixed market for the day. The dow is down about 46 46 points and the nasdaq is up by five. A yellen rally. If we woulddering see continuation today. People are watching and waiting. We have breaking news out of washington d c. Enrollment numbers have just been released. Phil mattingly joins us now with the details. Thegain, we all remember troubles of the website in october and november. Recovery on the overall numbers appears to be continuing as of february 1, about 3. 3 Million People were enrolled in federal or state exchanges. A big jump up from the initial numbers we saw. A key data point the Administration Officials are pointing to right now, in january, enrollment between up 64 ,als 1834 was bringing the total of those folks up to over 800,000. You have to remember the way these exchanges work, the young and healthy and roll, they may need them. That number jumping up as you saw. Magic johnson, adam levine, all working to try to get people to jump in there. Seeing the numbers move up a little bit for that month is a big move. Aret all helps and they getting the word out. Put it in perspective. Yes, up 65 . Free. 3 Million People enrolled. But how many do they really need . There are two numbers you need to Pay Attention to. One by the end of open roman, the Congressional Budget Office says, to be functional, nobody think they will hit that mark. 3. 3 million and the initial target is 7 million. They are way off. These plants are people who have enrolled, not people who have paid. The administration does not release how many people have started on these plans. The formerng with senator this morning. He has been a key Health Advisor on this administration. Cannot quantify how bad the stuff was for the website. He would be willing to say maybe 6 million by march 31. That would be the high point they could reach. I am be what the republican spin would be on these numbers even though we have a long way to go. It is just that. We have a long way to go and they are nowhere near the 7 million number. The thing they will continually point to is that we do not know how many people have paid. The confusing thing with these numbers, as with any administration, you are putting out numbers that will make you look as good as humanly possible and that is what you see here. Republicans always find there are flaws in these numbers. They will knit pick in each and every item. The administration will stick to, the young people are starting to sign up and republicans will say, you are so far off from your initial projections right now that nothing is going to save this law. Basically, we solve nothing, but we have updated numbers. At least they are better. Thank you. Adam johnson has insight and action today. Take a look at this. Cash is king, provided you put it to work. Time for insight and action. We had a conversation with john taft. Deploy cashyou wisely, stocks are allowed to perform. If youre buying back ryan back stock with your cash, you tend to outperform. We wanted to put that to the test. We screen for all of these, paying down debt at least 10 reduction of your debt. 10 on the dividend by average. As it turned out, he was right. We found 19 companies doing exactly that. These companies are up 36. 6 , effectively double the s p 500. Cash is king if you put it to work. Here are a ton of companies we know. Dowone, a financial chemical. Tj maxx, etc. I am going through quickly. I posted all 19 on twitter. Cash is king if you put it to work. Coming up, dodging the hacker spirit our next guest wrote the book on how to protect postal information whether you are home or abroad.

Really fascinating to talk to you. We will keep in mind turkey and their censorship as well. We will be back. Isthe french president trade hisboost finance minister was a key player in that effort. Today and focused joins us now with part of his interview. The key player in all of that, he accompanied president a lot here in washington and they Business Leaders on their trip. It is the job to help the French Economy out of the debt ceiling, the sovereign debt crisis in europe. I began by asking him about the news of the day in washington. The looming deal to avoid the debt ceiling, and the impact that could have on france and the rest of the world. American politics. They discussed whatever they try to findy and a bipartisan agreement. What i can say is that it is good news for the american economy. When things are fit in washington, things are better in your economy and the american economy. This crisisimagine will be solved. When it is solved, it will be good news. Class it has an impact in the rest of the world. It didhe contrary, if not come it would have a negative impact. Let me ask you about the trip. The visit to washington and your visit as well. Yesterday, the president had enough to Silicon Valley to meet. He is trying to lure some investment designers into france. Will you leave here with is something change in mr. . In this trip . France is back on track. We are an innovative and creative country and we are opened to foreign business. I say here, welcome to american investment. Already, about he does companies in the u. S. Hiring about 500,000 people in france, we want to have more. It is the same old for French Business here in the u. S. Ismust be as good as it politically. 60 billion euros between france and the u. S. Countrysnow our leading structural reform, more open to business, having a simple administration, better regulation, that is what were doing today in france. The climate of this business is positive between the u. S. And france. About me ask you prospects for for even more trade. The prospect for a trade agreement, how optimistic or pessimistic are you there will be a deal by the end of the year, which is the target . I would stress our president. Ave a very positive position that is new. Probably one of the first times a french president was so committed to a Free Trade Agreement in europe because he believes this could accelerate as well as this side of the ocean and the other side. It is good to have exchanges together and to free those exchanges. The issues have to be resolved, agricultural, cultural, or procurements. On these points, we have to have discussions. What i will repeat here is that we want a positive conclusion and we wanted fast. Until the end of this year . You know we have got something special. The replacement of the commission. In europe, the commission negotiates in the name of the states. We have a finishing commitment and by the end of the year. Rapidly, wet said, want positive conclusion of those agreements. Again, negotiations are never easy. And the problems are not just over in europe. Problems in the u. S. , the president has a break within his own party. A lot of Top Senate Democrats oppose promotion authority. I know we have more exciting stuff coming. More of that interview with the finance minister from france right after this. I have got some breaking news on dow chemical. In midcamp january, we announced an activist investor was getting in the mix.
