tv   MONEY With Melissa Francis  FOX Business  September 9, 2013 5:00pm-6:01pm EDT

5:00 pm
sony playstation brand in san matae i don't. on thursday fox business will spend the day at jive software headquarters. full three days. cheryl: fox business exclusive. "money" with melissa francis is up with melissa francis. just to stall the attacks? the founders t knew how to turna start up into a wild success. it tells you exactly, you cannot afford to miss that. $70 million from just six months of work.
5:01 pm
even when is it is not, it is always about money. ♪ cheryl: situation in syria coming down to the wire now. syria may be backing down. reports russia is working to broker a deal to hand over all of its chemical weapons to u.n. officials. we start with reaction on the ground in the middle east. live in jerusalem. what are you hearing, do you get a sense people are skeptical of this? >> israel's long push to take a firm stance on syria as everything is unfolding the past two or three weeks israelis have waited and watched and prepared for the worst in preparation of an attack from israel, from iran, from has blood.
5:02 pm
israel took an unprecedented move moving the missile system to the outskirts of jerusalem for the first time ever the ire and dorm been moved to the city. they are smart as any city that the syrian more proposes to the region. they have already intervened in syria bombing the assad regime. when they feel their passing weapons in southern lebanon. today's announcement by the syrian government they're are wo transfer the chemical weapons they have to another country is really being viewed with skepticism here. israel do not trust anything the iranians, syrians or even the russian backers have to say on any matter in the middle east, so while there is skepticism, there's also some relief and happiness at least for the
5:03 pm
immediate situation there seems to be some siding of the immediate fear of four. but skepticism this is going to end this. most capitals around the middle east feel this is just being postponed for a short while. melissa: thank you very much. so has everything been changed in syria for what seems like a hardline face-off? russia could go shoot a deal for syria to turn over all of its chemical weapons. it could be a major moment in the midst of this crisis saving u.s. money and american lives. a syrian expert and just released a study titled airpower options in syria. our "money" expert. i want to start with you, jeff. as somebody who has studied this terrain and the weapons syria has, how physically possible to think it is for somebody to go
5:04 pm
in and gather the weapons together, know they have everything and get it in one place under u.n. control? >> in terms of chemical weapons capability, that is just not possible. the stockpiles themselves are dispersed, they are large and going after them solely with the use of air power would not be possible, requiring ground forces and even then may not be possible. what is more possible is striking the delivery mechanisms but even then they are so myriad ranging from air forces to missile forces to artillery. melissa: what we're talking about is going in and not trying to blow them up, but gather them, move them to another location. do you think that is possible? >> in terms of the latest proposal length reporter you turned to, i am deeply
5:05 pm
skeptical. public relations move in the sense the syrian regime and russia after the fact declared they tried to bend over backwards to accommodate the americans and putin. >> this is a very serious time, not a time for humor but few things funnier than the prospect of blood may put an end assad teaming up to cooperate with united nations to deliver the stockpile. this is a transparent ploy to buy time. at the end of the timeline they will not turn anything over to the u.n., just more time to disperse the chemical weapons amongst the civilian population in syria. melissa: if you look at the timeline of events and how this possibly happen, sectarian states john kerry, i guess what would make this all go away is turn over the weapons and a sod is not about to do that.
5:06 pm
maybe we will talk to them about a plan to turn over the weapons? welcome in this proposal. wait a second, there is a possibility. what do you think of that scenario, jeff? >> little opening today, that said the united states is saying that we are doing due diligence, i think we see it for what it is, a ploy. again, think this is a public relations move by the regime and by russia here. melissa: it is pretty clever because they say they are willing to do this, how does anybody proceed in the face of that? can you bomb someone who says we
5:07 pm
have offered to hand over our weapons? how do you deliver that tactically? >> strategically the iranians and russians have been way ahead all along. this is a perfect example of how the russians are thinking long long-term to protect their clients in syria and we're thinking and acting short term. i served in the military for 20 years, but it is shameful to me the american body politic can't put together a better plan for how to deal with syria. clearly speaking off-the-cuff mentioning the united nations taking custody of the chemical weapons. they issued a clarification about 90 minutes after he spoke but the russians did not wait. they are in full force to exploit it, now another lover to keep us out of this. i understand everybody's skepticism on syria after coming to the conclusion it is almost inevitable the u.s. has to intervene.
5:08 pm
it is just completely dysfunctional. melissa: that may be the case, but let's take the other side of the argument, we have already blown it. some saying in all this time as we have been posturing and talking and gesturing, they moved their chemical weapons to inside mosques, under school houses to places where they have human shields. we would have the blowup civilians to get at them anyway. we lost our chance to do anything. >> i don't think we lost our chance. by the assad regime moving their stockpiles and other weapons it gives us another opportunity to track them. i don't know if i would go quite that far, but i don't think the window has closed. the authorization is for degrading the regime chemical weapons capability but also
5:09 pm
deterring future use of chemical weapons capability and you don't necessarily have to hit a narrow target to deter future use. you can hit of the things and frankly cannot move because they are fixed like airbases. melissa: thank you to both of you. >> thank you. melissa: next on "money," one coniston still planning to vote no. here to tell us what may change his mind. plus, more big news on the timeshare front. unprecedented steps on big implications for employees everywhere. for you. they will tell you what every worker needs to know. more "money" coming up. ♪ this man is about to be the millionth customer. would you mind if i go ahead of you? instead we had someone go ahead of him and win fiy thousand dollars. congratulations you are our one millionth customer.

5:12 pm
melissa: it is a very costly argument whether or not syria would cooperate to turn over its chemical weapons or to launch an attack. the congressman is not convinced a strike is the right move. congressman, do you believe
5:13 pm
syria would turn over the chemical weapons? what do you think of this proposal? >> it is a fascinating thing to discuss, but it may be president obama has found an o out% and it will look like a political and diplomatic disaster for him so maybe this is their way out. melissa: we heard the chain of events and how it happened, it seemed like more of an accident than anything else. >> sometimes when you are lucky accidents happen and you grab and run with it. this white house was in real trouble here. their own political base is outraged as the holder of a nobel peace prize is basically wanting to go to war. we were lied to in benghazi. how this sort of comes together. see if it actually moves forward.
5:14 pm
>> will there be an airstrike? >> you should expect everything. not necessarily for the government, but not only the player, you have other parties, other identity, you have to expect that. >> tommy by what you mean by expect everything. >> expect every action. >> including chemical warfare? >> that depends. if the terrorist indecision or any other group have it, it could happen, i don't know. melissa: nordland has been made.

backeback down from a bully yout more and more out of control. there have been people who have made the comparisons to hitler. it is extreme but when they say some of the comes out and so forceful about i will keep doing what i'm doing. >> there are a lot of moving parts. there has never been a military conflict like this ever where you and i write now can go on the internet and see videos of the fighting. we can actually read blogs analyzing the weapons and the photos. both sides are literally on twitter, so what happens when you have a military battle of a civil war being conducted on social media or the world. what happens is my constituents start: my office and say i spent two hours reading about what is really going on, i don't trust the rebels as much as i don't trust the regime. now we have a very informed
5:16 pm
public for those who want to be informed. melissa: is there anything the president can come out and do? he is lobbying to go ahead with this action. is anything that would change your mind? >> first off if he could lay out what the future is, what is the endgame, what is the american interest. i can understand pride and wanting to beat up the bully. but what do we get out of it? on the seventh day or the eighth day, do they make fun of us? what do we get out of this? melissa: is there something he could say? it sounds like, is there an interest that would mean something to you? >> for many of us is the unintended consequences that are
5:17 pm
the great worry. what happens to lebanon, what happens to jordan, we are very concerned. if the president will say we need more monitoring aid to help refugees in jordan and lebanon, he absolutely has my vote. if he wants poetry action, he has to come close to convincingly. melissa: we appreciate your time. coming up, first ibm, now time warner pushing retirees out of his health care plan to save cost. an easy out for big as is, but how soon will it be before you are out of luck? plus, it is like christmas eve. apple is set to unveil a couple new iphones tomorrow. we have one of apple's foremost experts to handicap the big event. can you ever have too much apple? ♪

>> ibm told employees that company to face the situation if they have runaway health care cost. melissa: costs are going to triple. is the voucher going to triple? >> have not filled out the details. in this environment where cost keep on going up and up and up, you want some predictability. most of us are in 401(k) instead of where we get a fixed amount of money. melissa: if you asked organized labor, they don't want to get off because you knew i was going to work for 20 years and retire for 40 years and always going to get the same amount of money and knew what i was getting. with a 401(k) we all contribute but if the stock market goes down, you are in trouble. it seems the individual person this may be more cost-effective

change the world. you went into government, and it is charity. i read in the beginning something that made my heart sank. you think business can be a bigger agent of change in society than government and charity. >> that's right. it is profound. look at the health in the united states. we have backed company that ranks 40th in average life expectancy, even though we of the wealthiest country in the world. the government is not going to solve that. it is what we do and how we live and what we eat. so what honest tea is about and a lot of other companies are looking at creating not just healthy products among but delicious product that can really help change diets. melissa: what is a problem that government is trying to solve that you think the business could do better? >> well, if we could have 100 million, billion people drinking honest tea, the health benefits, less sugar. changes health care. melissa: does not just a commercial for honest tea. >> there are other products. melissa: of more food companies

5:35 pm
worst distribution, worse cost. you have to believe in it more than a hundred percent. yet to be willing to get jeff flock in the morning and drive to the night and do all the extra things need to do so that passion, you can't just sort of care about it. you have to really believe in it. melissa: really quick, there is one problem he has run into again and again. it's something everyone can relate to. when you come up with an idea and people say to you, no, that's not the way it's done. there's a reason we don't do it that way. it doesn't sell. you can market it. we have all face that. there's a reason why this kind of thing doesn't sell and has not been done. audi no when the majority is right and you're crazy and when your idea is genius. aviano? >> i think the challenge here is when they're is a whole is a market is an opportunity our mistake. one way of telling is is there reason for this. in our case we are seeing the way people drink, they don't put the -- 10 teaspoons of sugar in

it. we were not trying to change what they did. you're trying to give them a product they already knew and loved. melissa: they already knew they wanted, it just did not exist in the bottle. >> bottle form. melissa: the two main questions at the beginning that you said that you have to -- >> you have to create a great product because no one is going to give you a shelf space. they are not saying a, please come. once you have succeeded but the question is, what happens, will you be copied? if your copy, will you still succeed. the second problem is the greaterrchallenge. melissa: it's a great book. i don't know if we have the pictures or you can see. it's all cartoons. if you are afraid, entertain then dazzle along the way. i also love the way at the end of the bay chapters and stuff you break out what is happening. it's very easy to follow. a great how to book that i highly recommend for anyone thinking about starting a business, and i know some many of you are. check it out. turning out a apple, which is
5:37 pm
brewing up some big news of its own, lots of apple anticipation for the company's major event. trailing behind samsung and the smart phone more this year. could this announcement plant a seed for a comeback? here to break it all down, fortune magazine senior editor, fox news contributor, thank you for joining us. what do you think will be the big announcement tomorrow? >> well, we have come to know over the past two years or so that we tend to know what the big announcements will be. we expect that apple will announce another iphone, probably called the five s, and interestingly an inexpensive iphone, off on that is more accessible to developing markets especially china. i think those will be the big announcement. they already announced a mile away, they're going to update their mobile software, i.e. os seven, introduced something called itunes radio which you can think of as a pandora killer melissa: interesting. so let's talk about the phones real quick. there is the iphone 5s is
5:38 pm
one thing. the iphone 5c, which that seems to stand for cheap. this is going to be the cheaper one. >> that is probably not their intention, but as good a shorthand is any. melissa: jeep and maybe china. the idea there will try to sell this and other markets. will americans even have access? >> i don't know the answer. we are speculating on something that has not been announced. there are inexpensive phones for the u.s. market, and i do not think that the idea is for them to go low and in the u.s. the idea is to go very high volume in a place like china which obviously has very high volume to offer. melissa: so how do you feel about this as the overall strategy? it is kind of the same thing. they came out with the ipad, which i love and have been a lot of people have bought. wow, this is great. it costs less and fits in my purse better. you probably did not say that, but it is in my messenger bag. the kind of cannibalize a lot of their own market.
5:39 pm
i might have bought a regular if it was not for the miniature version. i wonder if by making cheaper phones, the cannibalizing their own business? >> two ways to look at this. apple has traditionally expensive things that they sell for a premium and make a very high margins on. they have never gone to the low end of the market. for example, computers, the mcintosh, the imax, mack books, never been cheaper. on the other hand, they went very low price on their ipod strategy early on. so they came out with the miniature and then the shuffle, which cost next to nothing. and what that did was created more users of apple products, made more people happy, got more people into itunes and drove people eventually to buy iphone some very expensive iphones. so it's not unprecedented for apple to be thinking about more people as opposed to a higher price. melissa: what do you think of the long-term outlook now? based upon this news.
5:40 pm
this is kind of a barometer that we take at the end of the apple segment. how'd you feel about the company right now? given this light of things they have put out there and what may or may not be in the pipeline. >> sure. if everyone is anticipating about tomorrow is what happens then tomorrow won't say anything about the apple long-term outlook. that will be dictated exclusively by the next amazing mind blowing products that they introduce if it fails that will also use something about the long-term outlook. simply adding new phones are going with the streaming music service is not going to be the next leg up for this company. we should not expect them to have the next leg of three or four times a year. we should expect them to the have it one or two times a decade. melissa: thank you. we appreciate the preview. you're the best. >> my pleasure. melissa: next, who is really in charge, a major university
