about this idea of changing the way we got delayed gdp and adding in all kinds of goodies? how many ties do you download rihanna? that is that going into gdp. >> you know, part of me is excited because it gives me a lot of the day to the crunch and analyzed. that is alys a good thing. but the larger part of me is more skepticalhat we can accurately capture what is that truly productive part of the spending on entertainment and other things and what is simply spending that does not have any sort of productive capacity. so i have to really wait and see what this looks like, numbers perspective, but the thing that we should not worry about is h there going to go ahead and go all the way back to 1929 with this revision. it is not like it is going to change economic history. they will be consistent throughout. melissssa: i think that they are going to choose the number and make it look a lot better, and that is fine with me because it would use the number. who will all feel better.

you got there and spend more. happy days again. >> yes. this kind of like three sterds, melissa. that is what you do when you have a numberike gdp. they will probably change the jobs numbers eventually anyway. a good deal of the year every year, and that is what you do when numbers are so scrutinized and bad. you change the input so that the variable changes in the number looks better. i think you're totally right. listen. today's number was pretty disappointing. all other factors and the like inventories, government spending , contributing to the balance the really am not going to be sustainable. in fact, they will go down considerably over the years. there are a lot of things to worry about, to change the input math or not. melissa: a nice try like that. i want to go back to this idea that they will adjust the number and we will all be happy yet, yet been bernanke will of the truth. he will keep turning up the money. it on the bandwagon. this is fantastic. >> i don't think just changing the number is going to be the

impact here. we have to look beyond the broad number. i mean, pulling the pieces apart, this number will be revised. everyone believes it will. but when we look at the economic activity across the sectors of the focus on, we are seeing a loof growt we are seeing a lot of innovation taking place that will lead to future growth. i do believe digital media and the components of digital media somehow have to be bled into this gdp number, but it is not the only story, and we really ha to start recognizing. we get fixated on a particular number we're going to lose sight of some of the more important components that are comprised with and that number. melissa: and i did notice of a footnote in here which might not work out well. it says that they are also going to show a liability for unfunded plans. i mean -- >> absolutely. melissa: that could be a derailment. >> it is a disaster, and that is why i think it is going to be important to keep in mind the overall trend with gdp,

regardless of the input. the trend should roughly remain the same, and they're going ten hand out the fundamental problem. we do not have enough growth in order check lead to an increase in jobs and an increase in wages which will lead to an increase in personal consumption spending, which, you know, regardless of what inputs you use, that is still going to be the lion's share of the unit is its economy. melissa: steve sees signs of growth in the economy. green shoots and all kinds of good stuff. >> i guess i want some of what he is smoking. like his, but the sectors. you can pick up some good sectors and make money. utilities and stipples alone this year. he invested those, but if you look at a share of profits, corporate profits share of gdp, 2-year lows. kristin mentioned it, nonexistent. in fact a negative when adjted for inflation. so no one has the discretionary money to spend, let alone to

download songs which is really was going on. the growth to why don't see i. melissa: stock wld like some of what you are smoking. >> as long as it is legal. >> i don't disagree. we have to think about the boy brought and future of what we are trying to achieve here. i agree that growth has been anemic across a broad spectrum of industries, but i also believe that if we focus on innovation and trying t spur some of that innovation, that we are going to see a lot of good things. i think there are headlines around that, that innovation in particular command a lot of what is coming out of washington is slowing the ability for renovation to take effect in a major-league wait. let's not lose sight of the fact that there are still pockets of real growth that are happening. they get new across the board will be talk about this one particular number. melissa: but steve said it. washington is slowing innovation are broke the we are seeing. >> amelie is washington slowing

memo on what fought the red line was written in and out ticket was because as you and i spoke with the syrian support group broke the news about the chemical weapon used on march 19th it was confirmed by a patient's symptoms and hhs been confirmed again on april april 205th. i mean, how much more do we need? now is about the scale of chemical weapons. as we spoke about a month ago i think there were just testing. they're going to continue to use a larger and larger amount of genocide in order to finally shut up the syrian people and destroy them, and we are just sitting back and allowing this to happen. israel, our ally in the region is asking us to help because they see this only radicalizing the syrian people and not helping them evolve into freedom melissa: you have family. how bad is the situation? >> i just cannot express to you. we try to call them every day to find out how they are. 3 million people are displaced.

businesses have been destroyed. i do not know my aunt, the physician, my uncle who is a pharmacist his pharmacy has been destroyed, howhey're making a living. the syrian people ardesperate, dying, and they, right now, are getting help from saudi arabia, turkey. these are not exactly people that are going to help our allies in the free syrian army. they're helping the wrong actors command this is why we need to make an investment now because you can pay now or pay later, but the price is going to be much worse in doing nothing. melissa: what would you like to see the u.s. to right now? what is the most effective thing we could do? >> the number one thing is to get effective weapons in hands of, as best as we can do, the right people. antiaircraft anti-tank. number two, began ticket needed to do a no-fly zone and provide a safe harbor in northern syria said refugees can have a place to go so that they can begin to have a place to launch the rest of those are -- revolution to do away and finalize the war against the regime of assad and

then get humanitarian aid to the region. melissa: the first thing he talked about, trying to on the right guys. that is very hard to do. and it seems like the majority of the time when we get involved and we try to provide weapons to one side of the other and vigor to the connectors are we end up, you know, doing the wrong thing or not doing enough of the right thing. is just very tricky. how can we do that? >> well, one of the problems at we have in our 8dd approach to foreign policy and regions is that we think it is always by neri. either we do really get a really bad. and there is great -- there are gray zones. we tried to provide weapons to the best options we have to move them toward a better future. right now if we don't get involved, iran and russia are arming the bad people, our enemies, and it will continue to use us as a proxy war to say that they will have this sort of wanted freedom in the region to spread their radical islamism, to spread the fascism of russia into the region and radicalized

muslim's life did chechnya and like we saw came to boston. all this will come on to roost. the cost is much more if we do nothing. yet it is going to be hard to know who we are. as got to be a way to track weapons, and has got to be a we told them accountab. at least we will know, we are going to be at least on the people that are better than the saudis would be harming. melissa: he took the words of my mouth. that is because of not getting involved. thank you for coming out tonight >> thank you, melissa. appreciated. melissa: time to check the fuel gauge report. transcanada bottom line is being hurt by the delayed approval process for the keystone pipeline. even if approved this summer, the pipeline will be completed until the second half of 2015. transcanad says that will push the pipeline's cost passed its estimated three and half billion dollars. oil exports from iran plans to their lowest level since 1986 according to the energy

the stock price in that short amnt of time fell 47%. he sort of is the poste child for why you should not get $13 million of away at the door. >> the thing we after members if you want talents, like in sports, you're going debt to pay for it. going into this you know, will turn out, and if it turns out, by golly it is a bargain, but if it does not turn out every penny looks like it is wasted, so you don't know until the guy comes to the plate and performs. when he or she performs is beautiful and when not, oh, my gosh. melissa: it looks like that last picture. let me make a case for the other side because for a lot of ourr3 audience is hard to imagine, especially when you see something like this public assembly like morris myers. very sought after, very talented, so hot in silicon valley. she is making boat loads of money. see as almost no incentive to leave except the fact is she would really like the top job. you have yah, cycling through disastrous ceos. they have a chance of this person who's going to give them

pause and pizzazz to my proven track record, but she is going to set herself, why in the world when i take this chance? i wet take this job? amelie going to do it is becoming of the back end. can you see that side of the story? >> i do. melissa, i am a pay-for-performance guide. i have no problem with paying large severance packages and large salaries to get talented people. steve forbes is right. if you want the best third baseman in the major leagues have to pay for it. what i do find a big problem with, melissa and steve, i just hatehis idea of these he severance packages and these golden parachutes ted ceos that do not perform, and i do not see how that is in the interest of the shareholders, and i think that the people who are derelict here are the board of directors who oftentimes, you know, agree to these we are deals when taxpayers -- i mean, not

taxpayers, the shareholders are losing the money in these people running away. i don't get it. melissa: let me try that last example one more time because you look in a company like yahoo. what were the chances that she could really turn that around? why would she even tried? and to get someone like her to give it a shot is in the interest of sharelders because they were kind of left for dead everett yahoo. but if she does not turn it around, and chances are she was nogoing to come so without promise to pay her, even if she fails, there is no way she would consider doing this. i would think. me to my note. i know what their pay packets looks like. i don't know what it looks like if she fails, but you have to think that she has some sort of compensation like that on the way up the door if it does not work out. otherwise, which take that chance? >> yeah. i mean, exactly. it is as you say. and as both of the steve's alluded to, we have a fundamental is the problem. it is hard to monitor the

day-to-day activities of the ceo. they're supposed to be doing the monitori of everyone else, frankly. he monitors the monitor? you have to structure a contract about incentivizes someone appropriate to take the job but it also to take creative risks appropriate for that job. and then to somehow figure out a contract given the i known that percves, i would rather have as severance package and that huge signing bonus. >> one interesting thing is, what should be in the severance package? what i would do is put stock in the company. melissa: with their not going to go for that. use the guy who example. under what you're saying you would never get anyone good to have run yahoo. >> i think people are willing to let take the chance. >> in terms of equity funds, they pay a huge amount of money. you don't read about it because there not publicly held

companies, but the take these things over and diffuse incentives and packages to get people in need. so you go out there, these boards of directors, even though some of them make a mess, most are out there to try to do a good job because it makes them lo good and shareholders look good and everyone feels good about it. to get talent you have to pay for it yet to take a risk on it. again, if it works, it is beautiful. ha'penny ended $10 a return if the garment does it right. if it doesn't i think the case of yahoo, that is a company everyone would have stayed away from. he had to step up to the plate, and he knows how it's going to work out. look what happened at j.c. penney. ron johnson as a sensational record at apple, great job a target, comes to penneys and it does not work out. you don't know until you fight. melissa: is in that the problem? all these people, when you're hiring up to but the man they all look great. they'll look like to have talent , and you're helping -- or else you would not have pitched him. >> ight. melissa: have the time it does not work out. what do you do?

do you clawback money? would you do? >> part of the problem here is that we kind of cherry pick the evidence after the fact. we look at these sensational successes. we like it is essential that your's and say, locomotor a broken system. if elected the other 99 percent of the cases where ceos were paid dare i say appropriately. eight tose that word because it assumes that we are seeing is not appropriate. it is appropriate given that there is enormous risk involved in the uncertainty involved, given the activities that we are asking these individuals to do. when you're hiring highly entrepreneurial, highly creative business leaders, adverse outcomes are going to happen. it is unfortunate when they do, but they do happen. melissa: to leave it there. thank you. great job. time for you to weigh in. here's our "money" question of the day. should ceos get huge exit packages if they're fired for poor performance? pretty much everyone answered so far and said no. some viewers to acknowledge that

hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of people in this tree watching this, but i wonder, you know, if a draft like this bill helps teams sell tickets. if you don't have marquee players going into the draft3 that everyone is talking about, is it as exciting? is it worth as much? >> the seventh of the nfl, the popularity of the nfl will not fade. the nfl generated over nine and half billion dollars last year in revenues. the average franchise, 1 billion. and the item to know is that every year come regardless if there are marquee names going in, you will see players emerge from the draft, whetherhey are draft in the late rounds, players will emerge rom this draft and become marquee players >> i agree with that. it comes down to a sports is all about telling a story, and you have hundreds of great stories. people that nobody knew from schools and no one can pronounce who will turn out to be.
