tv   MONEY With Melissa Francis  FOX Business  December 4, 2013 5:00pm-6:01pm EST

5:00 pm
number one thing to watch will be weekly jobless claims before the november numbers. economists expect number of americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits to climb to 9,000 to 325,000. liz: "money" with melissa francis is next. melissa: an unbelievable deal for insurance companies putting your money in the middle. basically the white house saying, guesstimate your costs and we will pay you in good faith. oh, and then we'll go back to review the numbers later. from your wallet to the insurance companies pockets. even when they say it's not, it is always about money. melissa: so insurance companies certainly have been put through the wringer by obamacare's failed rollout. but looks like they are finally going to get their pay day courtesy of you. since the health care website can't calculate subsidies yet, insurance companies will guess
5:01 pm
what they are owed and our government will just cut them a check with taxpayer money. what could possibly go wrong? joining us now to break it all down, buy i don't know rork of the "washington examiner." he is also a fox news contributor. byron, this is an unbelievable story. every day you peel back another layer on the onion and there is some other smelly ugliness there. >> boy, isn't it? melissa: wow! >> there are a couple things to understand here. one the nature of subsidies we're talking about for months. these are not subsidies where government sends money to each individual person they use to buy coverage. in fact the subsidy goes from the government to the insurance company on behalf of the insured person. the other thing is this website. we've heard that the, you know the obama administration basically declared victory on the website yesterday. they say it's now working. well they fixed the front end of the website where consumers go and sign in and can do a little shopping. there's a back end of the website as well in which it
5:02 pm
communicates with other federal agencies like the irs. it determines whether someone is eligible for a subsidy and if so, how big it is and then it tells the insurance company. that part isn't working. regardless of what you heard about the other parts of the website, that part isn't working. >> not working or not built? i'm reading it is not finished. >> it is not built yet. not as if it has a bunch bugs. ttey haven't finished it. we're days, a few weeks from this needing to work. what happened is, the insurance companies said wait a minute, if the website can't calculate subsidies. government can't give us money, are we supposed insure people for nothing? what happened is, the obama administration said well look, if you estimate what you will pay out in subsidies just tell us, we'll pay you and pay you when the computer works. melissa: so much that is wrong with this basically the government says we didn't finish our homework on time. we'll create a whole bunch of additional homework for
5:03 pm
ourselves down the line. they're already so bad doing what they're supposed to do. now they have created a new task where in theory they will go out to figure out what they paid, compare it to what was there and they will claw back that money. that seems like, they already can't do what they have on their plate. why would you put more on there? >> this is something you think, insurance companies will get all the money and maybe be too much. this is not something they really want. yes they want to be paid, this is lot of extra money to come up with some good faith estimate. obviously does invite fraud. probably more importantly, just invites a lot of human error. puts that into the system. who knows whether these estimates will be anywhere close to what the reality ends up being but? it really tells you how much they're flying by the seat of their pants and just not planned this out for a bill signed into law 3 1/2 years ago. melissa: you were being more generous about it than i would. i'm thinking insurance companies are sitting here. they have been the whipping boys. they have been ones who been
5:04 pm
blamed for all the people who got kicked off their health care and they're sitting there saying you know what? we were thrown under the bus. now we're stuck with all these people who are going to, we have more expenses. we have people who are sicker in the pool. we still have to charge the same lower rate to these other people. we're getting screwed all over the place. so we deserve more money, in terms of subsidy. i don't think they're going to be, you know, careful with their estimate of how much they're supposed to get from the government because the government hasn't been careful with them. >> number probably the best thing of course for the insurance company, it's check. it is money. it is in their hand. they don't have to wait for the process to work. one thing everybody found out is that the obama administration was completely unprepared, even after those 3 1/2 years, was completely unprepared for this rollout of obamacare that started october 1st. remember subsidies are supposed to start flowing on january 1st. that is less than a month away. and the system, to which they're supposed to go isn't even built
5:05 pm
yet. melissa: no. in fact i saw an ad this morning, it was playing during my kids cartoons. it was unbelievable. said, don't forget you need to sign up by december 23rd. get on the website, sign up, if you don't do it by then, you won't have health care by the fist. this is ad we paid for playing on morning children's television and still the website is not done and it is not safe. there are more and more folks out there saying it is rife with fraud. that the security isn't there. byron, would you go on and enter your information at this point? would you feel safe doing that? >> i would not. this is 19 days away that we're talking about. you have to remember there is so much politics is at play here. i think any reasonable person would say, they need to delay this. it is not ready to go. i think they would have said that anytime in the last couple months and yet because democrats are so defensive about the affordable care act, because they're so distrustful of
5:06 pm
republicans who do want to repeal it, they felt like they had to keep going no matter what. well maybe it is not a good idea if the thing is not even finished. melissa: byron york, thank you so much. >> thank you, melissa. melissa: walmart workers around the country held black friday protests over low wages. now today 600 new washington, d.c. employees are happy to have a job. is the big box retailer winning the war on walmart? plus, police departments are using new technology to deal with speeders. they are firing rockets at you. i'm not kidding. that is one way to cut down on high-speed chases, right? is it safe? more money coming up.
5:07 pm
5:08 pm
5:09 pm
melissa: the great wage debate rages on. two d.c. walmarts open following months of controversy but the fight is not over. d.c. city council just voted to boost the city's minimum wage to 11.50 an hour by 2016. it is 8.25 right now. that is a big jump. here now the man behind the plan, d.c. city councilman, vincent orange.
5:10 pm
thanks for joining us. have you heard from walmart? they opened their doors and you guys voted to raise anyone mum wage by three bucks? >> i was with walmart at preopening atth street. i joined them this morning on the store with georgia avenue. all seems to be well. opened their stores. council voted minimum wage of $11.50. melissa: did you talk about this specifically. >> no, happy feeling last night and this morning. people know they will have minimum wage. walmart knows they will sell their wears in the district of columbia. melissa: why do you think thaw need to increase the minimum wage by so much? for example, if you look at bureau labor at that schtick tis being less than three people, less than 3% of people make minimum wage. don't things in d.c. deserve more attention like crime? >> what we need in the district of columbia is better quality of life for our residents. they can have that with minimum wage of $11.50 per hour as
5:11 pm
opposed to $8.25 per hour which is $15,000 on annual basis. child care is about $13,000. what is one to do? we don't want our residents living in shelters and going to work every day and then have to go and apply for food stamps, need housing voucher. melissa: those are not people, if you look at labor statistics those are not people working for minimum wage. half of people working for minimum wage are under 25 years old. 62% are enrolled at school. these are not single moms living on their own or people trying to support a whole family. these are people who are under 25 who are students, who are living at home who are trying to get into the economy, get their experience, get that first job. by raising minimum wage there will be fewer jobs for those people trying to begin their life as productive workers? >> i would have to disagree with you. that may have been the model five or six years ago but with sequestration, we lost 8,000 jobs in the district of
5:12 pm
columbia. we have people that have been making a decent wage, that need to continue making -- melissa: is sequestration cut off jobs at mcdonald's? how do you connect sequestration with people who are making minimum wage at places like mcdonald's and burger joints? those two things don't go together? sequestration didn't cut off money for minimum wage at restaurants? >> that is not absolutely true. you will find all kinds of workers in these fast-food places because the economy has been bad. the bottom line the district of columbia provide for a minimum wage. walmart opened their doors. in fact we were surprised to learn starting wage at walmart is $9.25 per hour, even now. we had great impact. they were talking 8.25 per hour. we'll take it to $11.50 with indexing after 2016. we not heard any opposition from walmart. melissa: you were understanding that 23,000 people applied for 600 jobs at walmart that means
5:13 pm
that 2.6% of the people who applied, that is how many actually got a job there. there were plenty of people who want those jobs. they obviously don't think they're bad jobs. why do you feel like you have to so dramatically change the wage there if it looks like it is working just fine? >> it is not working fine. the bottom line is the 600 people that will be working there will be receiving minimum wage. we brought costco into the district of columbia. air average hourly wait is $21. melissa: average associate wage at walmart is 12.87. >> that is the average wage. but i've looked at their numbers. they bring people in at 8.25 per hour. but that is not going to happen in the district of columbia. we have the highest disposable income in the nation. we have residents moving into our city on a monthly basis. the growth for walmart is in the inner cities. that is the reason why they're facing opposition in new york, chicago, san francisco. melissa: if you have the highest disposable income then it seems like you don't need to raise anybody's wages. if you have the most disposable
5:14 pm
income you're already all set. >> no, we're not set because we have to pick up the safety net costs. i imagine yourself. could you live off $15,000 on annual basis? why would you want someone else to live off $15,000. melissa: i absolutely got it of college my first job was minimum wage. i worked in college to save money to have the job so i could start the industry and work my way up. >> how long ago was that? melissa: it was minimum wage at the time. it wasn't $8. it was $6.10 when i got out of school with college degree. so i could work in the industry and work my way up. that is entry level job. that is what the station could afford. i came in and did it and worked to where i am now. that is the american way. that is how people get started. it is not meant to be a job you have your whole life and support a whole family on and statistics from our government show that is not who is working for minimum wage. >> well, what we show in the district of columbia that we're standing strong for minimum wage of $11.50 per hour. what we're seeing walmart has
5:15 pm
acquiesced. we're all moving forward. when you have a ceo that makes $11,000 an hour or $200 a minute and drives these great cars how can you say you want to pay somebody -- melissa: you know how you say that city councilman. because he started making minimum wage loading boxes. that is how he got that job, ceo. that very guy you're talking about. he started as an hourly worker as well. city councilman, thank you to so much for coming on. i hope you will come back to the show. >> absolutely. melissa: thank thank you. that is one side of the story. here with reaction, sara schaeffer and capitalist pig jonathan hoenig. fox news contributor. what do you think of that? >> i think councilman we have a serious problem of poverty in the district of columbia. i drove bit shelter on way to the studio. where he is wrong and misguided unfortunately that boosting the minimum wage doesn't make those low-skilled workers anymore valuable to the labor market.
5:16 pm
it mines places like walmart as you suggested are going to hire fewer people. it especially bad for young, unskilled workers. they're not simply looking for compensation. they're look for skills so they can then get the next job. i think that's a gross oversight. melissa: see, jonathan, i totally, when he says, you couldn't live on this wage, you couldn't support your family on this wage, that is abs absolutely true. i don't think anyone argues that. the problem this is a wage you earn to get started in the system working and then over time you're supposed to gain the skills and education to move out and do something else. the problem is, the very few people who get stuck as a career in minimum wage job, that is the problem we should be addressing how to train those people and get them skills and get them @oving somewhere else, not forcing walmart to have a hire minimum wage so it helps fewer people get starred on their careers. where did i go wrong with that, jonathan? >> i think you're right on the money, melissa. minimum wage causes unemployment. that is not my judgement.
5:17 pm
that is the judgement of the labor department in 1938. when first minimum wage was first enacted. many prominent economist. the minimum wage is discrimination. it is discrimination exactly what sabrina and you pointed out, low-skilled workers who need the first job. only 4% of the people making minimum wage are supporting a family full time and most of those individuals are able. whether it is at walmart or mcdonald's or anywhere else, move up the ladder. you have 40% of the mcdonald's ceos started making minimum wage. i believe something like 75% of store managers at mcdonald's started making minimum wage. started at bottom. what you do by enacting it, simply discriminating herring people exactly they are supposed to help. melissa: sabrina it is interesting walmart came in. they fought this battle. was going to keep them out of the district of columbia. they came. and then as soon as they opened their doors the city council passes this. did they see it coming do you
5:18 pm
think? what has, what do you -- >> yeah. melissa: you did? >> this is very contentious debate. now the councilman and democrats in d.c. embracing walmart as great savior but for months and months people of washington could have been benefiting from lower prices and more affordable healthy food options in area that doesn't have it. if the d.c. council really stood in the way of all this the minimum wage conversation now is really distraction from real regulatory reforms could boost business in the city. real reforms like expanding the d.c. opportunity scholarship program so people have more educational choices. this is a mask of a much deeper problem. melissa: jonathan -- >> all walmart can do, all walmart can do is trade. they trade with their customers. they trade with their employees. it is all voluntary. everyone is satisfied. unfortunately the councilman has the ability to use force. that is exactly what this is. the minimum wage is force against employers and employees. does neither of them any
5:19 pm
benefit. the one it does help are the unions who really behind this movement. not because they make minimum wage but their wages are indexed to minimum wage. we're trusting same institution that bankrupted autos, the education industry, the airline industry. we're putting economic policy in their hand and d.c. is ground zero right now. melissa: we'll leave it there. thanks, guys. >> thanks. melissa: cops around the country have high-priced alternative to high-speed chases. are have you heard about car chase cannons? car chase cannons. wait until you see this. half of young americans say they hate almost everything the president has done since he was reelected and would like to yank him out of office. where did the love go? this is today's monty talker. do you ever have too much money? as a business owner, i'm constantly putting out fires.
5:20 pm
so i deserve a small business credit card with amazing rewards. with the spark cascard from capital one, i get 2% cash back on ery purchase, every day.

5:22 pm
5:23 pm
melissa: high speed car chases may be part of just about every awesome action movie you have ever seen but in reality they could soon be a thing of the past. cops in several states are launching gps rockets at moving vehicles, in order to better track them while they're in hot pursuit. sound so dangerous. still sound like something from a movie to me as well. fox news's dan springer is live in seattle with the details. dan, tell me exactly how this works. >> it is so ominous, doesn't it, like cannons out there shooting rockets. actually cost is a concern for departments as it should be. they're looking into this technology. but i have to tell you, melissa, that the departments are also very ntrigued at possibility of being able to catch these bad guys who are fleeing a lot more safely. it is an air cannon, a gps unit and some really super sticky glue. we got a demonstration in iowa where the state patrol just started using one of these
5:24 pm
things. the air cannon is mounted to the front of the patrol car. it can hold two round. when the officer gets within 50 feet he fires and the heated glue ball cause that is unit to stick. the cop can call off the high-speed chase and track the suspect from a safe distance and speed. this is pretty cool, if he out on patrol, when the criminal takes off, if he is out of the car, he can fire the gps using remote keypad. >> the suspect will usually slow down to the posted speed limits. they will try to blend in with other cars. they don't want to be noticed anymore. they're thinking they got away from us. >> ah, but they really only delayed their arrest. so far police in iowa are two for two. it also has been used 11 times successfully to make arrests this way in texas, austin, texas. although an officer there tells me there are limitations. like their officers will not fire in the rain or car that is swerving or turning but they're
5:25 pm
all in favor of lowering the number of high speed pursuits which kill a person a day in the u.s. and 42% of time, the victim is an innocent motorist or bystander. the product and the company that makes the system are called starchase. >> it allows the officers to really use different tactics on, on what would be a traditional pursuit but just run it, run it differently. and lower the adrenaline. lower the risk, and it allows everybody to make better criminal. >> now but your show is about money. we'll talk about the what the downside is. they are not cheap. the cannon costs 5,000-dollars. every time they fire one of those sticky gps units, that is another $250. but i'll tell you, there are people from seattle down to looking at possibility on a short term test basis to see if it can work. we know the chases are very, very dangerous.
5:26 pm
melissa: so many questions. what if the thing hits back window of the car, does it break it? cars come in so many shapes and sizes and weather conditions. >> yeah. melissa: could it hit a prius in the snow? >> if you're driving a prius in the snow and trying to evade cops you have more problems than this thing. but seriously that is the big concern for folks here in washington state. it rains out here. they're not jumping all in with this thing. our cars are wet and muddy. but apparently the glue in the gps cannon is heated up just before that thing is shot. and so, it is hot. and it is sticky and apparently it does stick most of the time. but as i said. the folks in austin will not shoot it because it is not cheap. 250 bucks every time you shoot it. you will not fire it if it doesn't stick. melissa: hit as person, back window. there are a lot of questions. very interesting to sigh the least. thank you very much. >> sure. melissa: up next, 52% of young
5:27 pm
americans would vote to recall the president right now if they could, of youngsters. i can't believe this. would you? tweet me and tell me what you think. this is today's "money talker." our panel is raring to go.

5:30 pm
melissa: the young and the restless, the young are turning on president obama in a big way, harvard poll shows that the youth is unhappy with president's perffrmance. today's money talker. this is the iop group at harvard, the young president. they are a left-leaning group.
5:31 pm
here the results are very anti-obama. what do you think? >> i think people -- young people especially are fed up, they don't believe anybody any more, i don't blame them. melissa: not anybody. >> they don't like obama, and returns and their parents, i don't blame them, everyone is bummed, who is happy? melissa: we dragged in our own young person here. you can represent the young people. >> i agree 100%, young people are so fed up with politics as normal, they are tired of the rhetoric, and experiencing reality of bad politicians in washington. they are experiencing the pain of their own vote. melissa: how. >> higher premiums, youth unemployment. crippling student loan debt, they are experiencing the harsh reality of fail liberal policies. >> mercedes.
5:32 pm
the problem is a lot are untractable. health care is a new one. in terms of how it is hitting them. before they were well protected but now they are getting kicked off their policies at school. there was a promise, that the president could solve the student debt, they are not problem that can be solved immediately no matter what. >> there was so much euphemism in terms of what they wanted, they were thinking this is our savior, remember a new day, we'll solve your problems, that is the platform that obama used. when you fail on these promises, the cynicism kicks in, these kids say, wait we voted you in, how come we can't get a job when we graduate, and we don't have health care, and the true edis edition is up, you failed to keep your promise.
5:33 pm
melissa: the idea of recalling president 52%, is that how kids think? >> you know, i remember, sort of, i am not a young person, charlie -- younger. when i graduated, in mid 90s,. melissa: much later. >> like last year. but, hypothetically for those of us who are 12 years old when we graduated in 90s in college, i remember i graduated in 95, and economy was not that great, i grew up in the bush years, and bill clinton was elected. it was a new change, i think a lot of young people felt the same way about obama, they bought into that remant simp row. >> he was such an "avatar" for people's hopes and dreams.
5:34 pm
>>a it almost manifested itself. he might have said something but somebody thought so much grander of, that he will solve all my problems and make my life better, he had a tough couple of months starting with nsa candle with young people, he is listening to my cell phone, and raising my premiums they don't like him. melissa: if you promise to solve everyone's problems, you know you are lying, older adults know you are lying they have fallen for this before. as a politician, how did i change that? >> it is never going to change, a formula that has been here for sensories, it is so true. they won't change, because they are going to be that underlying belief, maybe this will be the person that will solve our problems. melissa: if kids are sick of president obama do they believe in republicans, are they looking for real solutions ?
5:35 pm
>> you used word recall, unfortunately recalling a president is not as easy as recalling an xbox, we stuck for 3 more yores years, the republicans have to make the sale we'll see if they can make the sale to me voters, talk abot things that relate to them, stop talking about the national debt, and figurative terms that does not affect me every day. talk about he and the. market. >> cynicism is romance is over with media. there is so much focus on the failures of obama administration now, in the mean strategy media -- main street media. >> thank you. >> all right hail th the ron burgundy marketing machine,

5:41 pm
a character, and naming a journalism school after him for a day, it goes on and on, they are having fun with this. the studio itself did not give nim what they wanted for the budget, maybe they make it up in the merchandising and this other branding they are doing. with ron burgundy. melissa: i guess he is getting a piece of the merchandising, that is why it's world of it to him, with the dodge, he goes out and does those ads, they are not paying him, he wrote them, he did them. and it was a partnership to promote the movie, but dodge durango sales increased 59% since he has been out there, he is doing thing after thing. i wonder at what point does he feel like, i don't feel like doing this any more. i helped movie as much as i can. everything is going to see the movie anyway. >> i think he is just reveling in it i saw him in a banking and
