Buckeye state, his home state. Kasichs national spokesman, trent duffy, with us live on what he says is the exact path for governor kasich to take from michigan all the way to the white house. The republican frontrunner nowhere to be found in michigan, donald trump campaigning in North Carolina ahead of next tuesdays primaries. Moments ago the billionaire businessman launched new attacks on senators marco rubio and ted cruz, calling the florida senator a, quote, scoundrel, and claiming that cruz is a liar who comes in, quote, bible high. Our Political Panel tells us how the strategy will play out in michigan, mississippi, florida, ohio and, of course, the rest of the upcoming primary states. Wall street watching the race very patiently here. The Dow Jones Industrial average just slightly above the flatline here, up nine measly points. Dow 17,014 right now. Plus, Holding Apple and maybe your apple products ransom. Charlie gasparino on the major ceo on wall street whos under fire and under big heat right now. And Peyton Mannings goodbye tears. Were less than an hour to the closing bell, lets start the countdown. Liz breaking news as the markets try to extend the fourday rally, asian stocks at two month highs paired with a 6 gain in beatendown commodities in the last six trading days have the markets still unable to figure out what it thinks of that. I use measly, its a teeny point, but that would clock five days in a row of gains making it the longest winning streak since last october. Weve got the s p, nasdaq and dow transports lower with the russell barely high her, the Dow Jones Industrials up two. Energy is leading the gains. Dont leave coal for dead. The big jumper is coal giant consol energy, one of the biggest movers on the index. Wheres the weakness . We are seeing some Consumer Staples that are lagging today, specifically household products. Some of the biggest losers are rubbermaid and kimberlyclark although last i checked we all still need, at least i hope, to brush our teeth every morning. Overrated. Liz austin says brushing teeth is overrated. Great. To the battle for the next big juicy delegate prize in the president ial race, michigan voters head to the polls tomorrow. How rich a state is it . Well, 147 delegates are at stake for the democrats and 59 are up for grabs for the gop side of the race. Governor john kasich live right now in grosse point woods. Will his strategy work . It might. At least according to a new arg poll. What does it show . American Research Group shows that kasich is leading trump 33 to 31 in the state of michigan. But theres some confusing and conflicting numbers here pause a monomoth university because a monmouth poll shows trump is in the lead, governor kasich in third place. We bring in blake burman on the ground, weve got dueling polls here. Either way, whats kasichs plan . Reporter well, theres the political x theres the message, liz. John case cantic earlier today was talking about how he wants to gain some momentum here out of michigan, what momentum exactly is, well see tomorrow whether thats a win as one poll might suggest though it might be an outlier or if its a strong second or third. From here he wants to go on and win ohio. Many people view that as a must. But hes also been talking up illinois and pennsylvania, though i would add those are winnertakeall states, so finishing second or third does nothing. Youve got to win those states. As far as the message goes, we are here in grosse point woods at a private high school. Kasich, as weve with heard for weeks now, is basically trying to argue that he is the adult in the room standing of the last four president ial candidates on the republican side. At this high school, he began probably the first 10, 12 minutes of his speech speaking to those who cannot vote, many of the high school students, kind of giving them a part counselor part president ial candidate pep talk, and he brought that around as to why he will not go negative in this race. The key to life, to success in life is finding your purpose and doing it. And sometimes it doesnt even have to be a big purpose. Sometimes its standing in between the person thats being bullied and saying, stop it. That changes the world, do you know that . And for all the adults that are here, you notice that im not engaging in the negative or the personal attacks, and i dont intend to. [applause] reporter so thats the plan there for kasich, liz; or stay basically out of the mud, try to get through michigan and then its on to ohio. Back to you. Liz oh, yeah. You know, interestingly, that has been his way the whole way. No mud slinging, not getting down and dirty, simply being the grownup in this race. Blake, thank you very much. That is the view from the gop side at this hour. When it comes to the democrats, the candidates are Holding Nothing back in their fight for michigan. Last night, did you see this . Vermont senator Bernie Sanders let loose on Hillary Clinton while debating jobs and the economy. If you are talking about the wall street bailout where some of your friends destroyed this economy you know excuse me, im talking. [cheers and applause] if youre going to talk, tell the whole story, senator sanders. Let me tell my story, you tell yours. I will. Liz let us bring in democratic strategist Richard Goodstein along with brad blakeman. Things are getting testy, richard, and im wondering as we look toward what happens next, the flint question also came up, and you know its going to come up tonight during the town hall that fox news is going to have with both of those candidates. Look, anybody who watches a democratic debate and who watched this last Republican Debate has to kind of cringe at the exchanges among republicans. And if, you know, between con man and unhinged and all the things being said there and hand size versus, you know, this is my story, this is yours, its pretty tepid stuff going on between hillary and bernie. And, frankly, its on substance. I mean, i think democrats actually look at that debate and say, honestly, thank you, Bernie Sanders, this is something we probably should have. Its going to make hillary a better candidate. The fact of the matter is if the polls are true in michigan, she stands the chance for a goodsized win. Every single primary is proportional, the republicans go winnertakeall starting march 14th. So with this huge delegate lead hillary has, bernie has to win states like california and new york by 6040. Nobody thinks that is possible. Liz i think youre right. Certainly the substance is something that voters who are really focusing on what matters to them do crave. Brad, i doubt you would disagree with that. To the republican side, though, it continues to be down and dirty. In fact, in just the last couple of minutes and we just have the sound bite now donald trump lashed out against ted cruz and marco rubio. Lets listen to this, and once again you can comment on that side of it. Heres donald trump. Cruz, he comes in, bible high, puts the bible down, then lies to you. He told you i mean, its unbelievable. I never met you know, i thought real estate people were tough and real estate people in manhattan were tough. And in many ways they are tough, theyre tougher. But ive never seen lying like goes on in politics. Liz again, brad, with the lying and throwing all kinds of criticisms here. But lets talk about whats going on as it pertains to florida now. Theres a new monmouth poll, everybodys talking about can marco rubio even win his own state. Heres where we stand. You have an eightpoint lead, donald trump there, with senator marco rubio at 30 . Can rubio catch up here . Its going to be awful tough in the next week for marco to catch donald trump. And lets remember, donald trump is not seen as a carpetbagger in florida as all. Hes seen as an honest to goodness, resonant, participantpartner in not only his personal life, but his Business Life in florida. So you have a u. S. Senator, and you have somebody who has established roots in florida thats besting in all the polls a sitting senator. Thats a lot of trouble. And let me say that the Republican Party has been able to attract so many new people compared to the democrats. The democrats are not having the turnout in their primary process as republicans are having in ours, and thats the good news. Now, the bad news for marco and for john kasich is youre pretty much planting your flag in your home state. And if youre not able to win your home state, then the games over next tuesday. Liz yeah, yeah. Its going to be awful hard to continue. Liz for us news and political junkies, this weekend one thing was going viral, and that was the comic, louis c. K. , getting very serious actually. He put out, i guess you could call his own personal oped imploring people not to vote for trump. One of the comments trump is a messedup guy with a hole in his heart that he tries to fill with money and attention. He can never, ever have enough of it either. Hell never stop trying. Hes sick. Which would make him really, really interesting, but hes not a monster. Hes a sad man. This makes him horribly dangerous if he becomes president. If you are a true conservative, dont vote for trump, he is not one of you, he is one of him. Richard goodstein, is any of this starting to take hold, or he continues to lead in states like florida. Let me just say louis c. K. , its not just comedians saying that, meg whitman and Christine Todd whitman, i mean, prominent republicans are saying almost the exact same words. Look, the evidence is it is taking a toll. Because unlike hillary whos overperforming how shes been doing in the polls, trump is underperforming. Remember, hillarys gotten 60 of the democratic vote, trumps total about 34 . So you saw that cnn poll that had him at 49 nationally, but if you look at how voters are actually voting, hes doing great among early voters, really not well at all among liz okay. Well, for those, brad, who dont like him and are waiting for some type of manna from heaven, we do have billionaire Michael Bloomberg reportedly deciding in the next week or so whether he would jump in. Whats your best guess . I dont think he will. Hes a smart guy. Hes not going to throw good money after bad, and its very hard to win as a third party candidate. You have to spend an awful lot of money to be a spoiler. I dont think thats strategically wise. But let me say on republicans, my good friend, mr. Goodstein, is that we have an actual race. You have a bogus, what i consider a bogus, actual fraud on the democrats because hillarys just plowing over Bernie Sanders. And guess what . If you didnt like the outcome, you have the superdelegates to overturn the people. So this is just a charade republicans pray for superdelegates right now, brad. We play by the rules of letting our grassroots determine who our candidate is, not the party elite. Great, congratulations. Good job. Liz well see, because you do have the less than grassroots establishment trying to finagle things from behind the scenes. Precisely. Liz thank you for both being with us. Thank you, liz. Liz Richard Goodstein and brad blakeman. Much more on the 2016 race later when trent duffy joins me live. Hes going to lay out the candidates exact path to the gop nomination considering he is lagging in many polls. Closing bell, we are 47 minutes away. Which way after dow 17,000 . Up or down . Our traders have the clues. They will reveal them next in the floor show.

Peyton manning will retire with the highest career earnings in nfl history. Over the course of his football years, split between, of course, the Indianapolis Colts and the denver broncos, manning earned more than 248 million. This makes him the sixth highest grossing player of all time among pro athletes in the big four sports. That 248 million doesnt even include his endorsement deals with Companies Like nike, nationwide insurance and papa johns pizza. Last season alone he made 12 million in endorsements, 12 million. And during his retirement announcement from denver earlier this afternoon, heres how peyton looked back on his career. Every moment, every drop of sweat, every blearyeyed night of preparation, every note i took and every frame of film i watched was about one thing, reverence for this game. When i look back on my nfl career, ill know without a doubt that i gave everything i had to help my teams walk away with the win. There were other players who are more talented, but there was no one who could outprepare me. And because of that, i have no regrets. Liz good luck to him. Congratulations. What a great career. Was manning the best quarterback ever . I want to hear from you. Tweet me lizclaman. Leave a post on our facebook page. All the links and exclusive videos are at lizclaman. Com. What . Weve got breaking news now out of sports world as wellful former world number one tennis player maria with sharapova has announced and revealed she failed drug tests at the australian open. Now, folks, just to give you a little bit of a back story here, earlier today there was word she, too, would be retiring. And everyone said, oh, okay. Mannings not the only sports star thats going to announce his retirement. Well, heres the major announcement she has failed a drug test before the australian open. Apparently, she will retire. By the way, she at 28 years old was the highest paid female athlete in the world for 11 years in a row. She had all kinds of sponsors like nike, evian, avon, head tennis racquets. We shall see if they stick with her if this news is true. Beware the eyes ides of march, the fed will weigh whether to make a second rate hike in the cycle that began in december. How are the experts setting up for the trade . How should you . Lets get right to the floor show, traders at the new york stock exchange, cme group and the nymex. Scott redler, this time around do you see a rate hike or not quite yet . No, i dont think we see a rate hike in march, but its back on the table because of the big market rally that we just had, right . We just went up 200 handles, no ones talking about recession right now, everyone feels a little bit better, so now the rate hike talk happens. I think theyre looking at maybe june, but well have to see where the market is then. If we start to fail here at 2000 and head back to retest some of those lower areas, i bet that gets taken off the table. If we happen to be push up another 4060 handles which we might because of the pain trade, june actually could become a reality. Liz well, gary, to that point, how do you prepare for Something Like that . Today the markets are flat to slightly lower, so you get a sense that nobody is flipping out of their minds. But the fed funds future show, well see 100 of a rate hike within this coming year. Where do you pile in . One of the things that im focusing on, and a lot of people here at the cme are focusing on, is whats going to happen thursday morning at 8 30 eastern time when mr. Graggy comes out and decides what he wants to do with the euro central bank. The last time he did it, everybody was anticipating 25 basis points, he went with 10. Look at the chaos he caused. And then the following week we have ms. Yellen. Weve got a lot to digest, take a hook at, but i do see no rate hike this time around. Liz if you want to continue to buy that, and is oil just now cheap enough and going to start getting more expensive . To luke, looking at what were seeing both with light sweet crude and brent which started to move higher brents above 40 per barrel at this point, its so cheap. And weve had, what, a sixsessionlong move to the upside in most of the commodities, right . Yeah, we have. And oil is still fairly cheap relative to other asset classes. Ill just follow along with some of the previous comments. If youre going to have these really low rates, and some of them might even go negative, you might start thinking ive got to put my money somewhere, and that might be commodities. Oil still has a good correlation to the stock market, but youve seen the gain strength. I think from here its going to stick around, maybe go a little bit higher. Lets see what the summer driving season brings, but right now its looking pretty good. Liz right now as we look at the markets, the dow is up 31 points, so we could see that fiveday move in a row, five days of a rally. Can we extend it . Stay with fox business just like our traders have. 38 minutes before the closing bell rings. Thanks to our guys. By the way, netflix among the names that are dragging on the s p.
