tv MONEY With Melissa Francis FOX Business January 6, 2014 5:00pm-6:01pm EST
5:00 pm
it has been great. >> come back later in the week. david: we've got big market stories tomorrow as well. >> guess who is coming up? our own melissa francis. "money" coming up in just a moment, we'll see you back here tomorrow. melissa: the first full week of the new year and a new "money" update on the health care hell. did you know if your personal information was hacked or breached through the federal website? the government has no obligation to tell you! of we have a congressman leading the charge to change that. even when they say it's not it is always about "money." melissa: it is the start after new year. all eyes on obama care. not so much on enrollment numbers anymore but all the personal data possibly breached through the website. can you believe the government doesn't have to tell you if your information was stolen?
5:01 pm
can you believe that? some say clearly that has got to change. tennessee congresswoman diane black is one of them. the hits just keep on coming with obamacare. this i was really surprised about. what can you do to change this? >> i have a bill and, fortunately our leader has dedicated time this upcoming week to make sure this legislation does get passed or at least a form of this legislation that would require the federal government to do just what our exchanges at the state level are required to do and what the private sector is required to do. if someone's information is breached it should be the responsibility of the federal government to let the individuals know that so they can take the proper measures. melissa: you mentioned that everybody else has to report to you if your information has been hacked, whether it's a private company or it is the state websites? how did this happen, that wasn't part of the law? >> well that's a very good question. we know from testimony at various committees that the administration and in particular
5:02 pm
kathleen sebelius has said that there were experts who recommended it but they did not3 include it in the final rules. so that should been included. it was a decision that was made. it is not as though just something that was forgotten. it was intentional they would not include this. as you already said some of this is a matter of money. some of it is a matter of time. but we have a bill that is going to require that to be done. it is absolutely necessary. there have already been 33 different security instance that is have happened and there is more yet to come. the website as not built well to begin with. melissa: 33?3 >> 33 that we know of. melissa: i was going to say that number sounds incredibly low to me. very hard or me that everyone in the world knows how vulnerable this site is and up for this amount of time and only been 33. wouldn't be surprised there would be 33,000 or three
5:03 pm
million. hard to believe it is only 33? do do you think we know all the facts? >> i said that is what we know of. there may have been more. this site has not been secured as experts recommended. going back doing that now is very difficult. i had one person who is educated in this area tell me that trying to redo a website, to make it sure is like having a car where you built the shell and put all the guts into it. really i'm impossible to do. melissa: no, absolutely. we had many experts on the show, like a house without a foundation, whatever analogy you use it is almost impossible to fix it. realistically what do ou think can be done? it does seem clear, if we continue with this system, a new website needs to be built and then maybe everybody's transferred to it or something? fixing this one isn't going to do the trick from a security perspective? >> certainly that would be a recommendation from people who are more educated on how to do a website and security measures than i am but everything i'm
5:04 pm
reading is telling me that it is not possible to fix this. however in the meantime, it should be incumbent upon the federal government, to be responsible to let people know when their data has been breached so they can do what is necessary to protect themselves from identity theft and for cybersecurity. melissa: i know majority leader cantor has taken up this issue as well. what do you think are the odds that you will be able to have this on? there are a lot of problems with website right now. to get people to focus on this, it doesn't have to be reported to you when your information is hacked could be difficult? >> i can't imagine, anyone, any legislator, any congressman saying they don't feel this is necessary to protect people that they represent. i absolutely think this will pass. we'll pass it over to the senate to see what they have to say -@about it. i don't think my constituents would be very happy with me if i didn't push forward to make sure their most personal, sensitive information, their date of birth, their social security
5:05 pm
numbers, their telephone numbers, you will all these things contained in that, then we have you will at navigators out there signing people up that don't have to have security background checks? amazing to me we wouldn't be requiring the federal government to be responsible for data breaches. >> in the meantime, what would you be saying to people? i've had security experts on the show they would tell members of their family not to go on to the website and not to sign up and not to enter their information. would you make a statement that strong at this point? >> i would be very concerned about putting my information out there. that is all i will say, they will have to make that decision. they will have to weigh, whether they think their information is safe enough and that they feel this is the time that they really need to do, what they need to do for the insurance. but i just would caution them that, we can not assure them this information, number one, is not going to be hacked. and that number two, if it were they will be notified. melissa: eeen know about it, right. your information could already
5:06 pm
be stolen and you have no idea. nobody has the obligation to tell you. i can't believe that. congresswoman, thanks for coming on the show and thank you for shedding light on issue. >> thank you for having me. melissa: history in the making as senate votes to approve janet yellen in just minutes but could her rein do more harm than good? reign. find out why one senator is standing firm and voting no. america's favorite duck family is back this time. they want you shooting alongside them. see how the robertson dynasty is shrugging off the media storm by launching its own line of firearms. more "money" coming up.

5:09 pm
melissa: the battle is on. should college athletes be getting paid? both sides of the debate are coming up but first let's hand it over to fox news's william la jeunesse who has the scoop on latest going on with this fight. william, do you think this could turn into a pay off for play officers. >> reporter: ultimately yes, that is what people say eventually is going to happen. the question is when, not will it happen. how much will they get paid?
5:10 pm
will it include all sports or just say basketball and football? what about women and men? the question of course, the thing that is driving all this, there is a court case. there is now a college players union. and you also have the question of fairness all driving the debate. this year's bowl season payed out more than $200 million. annual tv rights for major college football, 20 million per school, per year. not to mention ticket sales, marketing and five billion in t-shirts and jerseys. >> this is run like the nfl and nba. every inch of it is sold and every inch of the athletes is sold. anyone that couldn't get to participate in the business are the athletes. >> reporter: many say it is time to end the hypocrisy. they say thh athletes should not be paid because of commercialism. >> everybody get as part of this.
5:11 pm
the coaches do. the universities do. the shoe companies do. television does. everybody who is participating in this is benefiting. everybody except for those who are on the field. @olleges pay athletes through scholarships and salaries would ruin the college brand yet the ncaa has no problem selling their success. >> the kids that come through the ncaa, the system, deserve better. >> reporter: once the face of college basketball, ed o'bannon won a championship at ucla only to learn that the ncaa sold his image to a videogame company without his permission. experts say his lawsuit will likely answer this controversial question. >> should student athletes be paid and to me that is not the right framing. the issue is, should they be restricted and why? >> reporter: coaches urge players to practice full time and avoid class that is could ollege unprepared.lity. >> most of the top division one
5:12 pm
athletes never have a pro career and regrettably, very large numbers of them, never come away with a college degree either. >> reporter: how might this work? well a university could set up non-profit that would take in revenue from tv and employ the student athlete as an employee. there would be annual salary cap by ncaa that would prevent schools like texas or ohio state from outspending everyone else. ultimately they believe the courts will impose this on colleges to play players like events we'll see tonight that generate so much money and none of it goes to the athlete. that at least is one proposal out there but there are many. back to you. melissa: william, great reporting. you can really see both sides. thank you so much. so should college athletes be paid for their performance? here to settle the score is sports aficionados steel ol' nick and mark lipsfelder. mark, what do you think?
5:13 pm
>> absolutely. melissa: why, why? >> the universities are profiting significantly. the coaching staffs are profiting significantly. every aspect, all the sponsorship dollars involved. melissa: everybody is making monny but them? >> absolutely. melissa: how does it change the game? they're kids. >> absolutely. most of this is joke. first of all you're getting free education. student debt is at all-time high for a lot of students. a lot of athletes, one, can't play professional sports. less than 1% of actual student athletes -- melissa: on the other hand aren't a lot of kids going to school for free they're on sports scholarships, they're getting paid but not accruing the debt you're talking about. >> are they getting paid to pay the sport. melissa: you're saying ostensibly they're getting paid already? >> they're getting free education. >> they should get free education and get stipend. figure it out. the ncaa which has a lot of
5:14 pm
hypocritical aspects to it, all the smart people there should figure out how to, whether it is via conferences and all kids, whether division 1-a athletes, male or female, figure out what the stipend will be. maybe boosters will not apt to take money from boosters and scandals that erupted all these years. melissa: does it turn it into professional college sports? then they're not college students anymore? they totally, william was making the point they're encouraged not to go to class and not take class that is will bring down eligibility but is that the final move? once they pay them they stop going to class and no one cares. >> sorry. that is a players association. you want to remedy the whole situation? have leagues allow them to become professional athletes out of high school. nba used to do it. now we're not there yet. statistically, because of the money, a lot of these guys are broke. >> would they stay in school? would a kid who is wonderfulling stay in school a little longer
5:15 pm
if he knew he had, whatever that number, 20,000, 25,000 coming in the stipend above free education and meal plan and room and board a scholarship athlete gets. had a few bucks to take his girl to dinner, doing this, doing that, instead of making dumb decisions they do because they're desperate. would -- of course they do. not all going to go pro he is right. if they had their few bucks in a pocket could change decision making while at school. melissa: we're talking about a few bucks. there are coaches -- >> making 5 and 7 indollars a year and skip off whenever they want -- 5 to $7 million. melissa: auburn's coaches if he wins gets $625,000. florida state, gets $325,000. for how many people watch the game and the big a boost to the school that doesn't sound like a lot of money. somebody broke it down it would be worth -- >> what is university making that wins tonight? melissa: a fortune, i'm sure.
5:16 pm
why isn't tte coach making more? >> get to go to sizzler. >> how much will you pay a gymnast? or -- >> figure it out. >> baseball player, that his scholarship is you know, divided up. >> like everything else in the world it would be proportional to revenue bringing in. >> correct. melissa: if you're a football player you're worth a lot of money. the school is making a fortune off it. it seems to me like child labor. you basically have the kids out there working for free. you're making money off that and they're not getting a piece of it. it is ugly. >> correct. >> we're missing point, thess are student athletes. >> i agree with you, but the bigger picture at all the people making money off the kids. you add in fact a kid in new jersey is buying texas a&m. is not buying that jersey because of tex salves a and m. he doesn't get a pies of that pie? >> he is going to school for free. melissa: that is one of the things? are think going to school? are they finishing?
5:17 pm
are they getting degrees -- >> there are good student athletes out there. >> no question. >> take school very seriously. that are very good college athletes. melissa: so should those students be paid? >> they go to school for free. no. what is value of degree from harvard, cornell, duke, stanford, virginia, northwestern? i went to northwestern for law school. i mean it costs a lot of money to pay that back. melissa: mark, what about that? >> you talk about kids that might not have an opportunity for education otherwise? education a lost waives is priceless. you can do something infinite with it over time when the career is over. >> yeah. melissa: you can have a job and life where if you didn't have education it would be much tougher. isn't that valuable? >> its valuable. i don't know that it is invaluable. it would also be valuable, the kid, whatever it is black, white, doesn't matter if they had 20,000 or 25,000, a stipend i know i can go put fast in the

first woman to head the federal reserve in its 100-year history. not everyone agrees she is the right choice for the job. joining me from capitol hill, republican senator john hoeven, who i understand, senator, you're leaving to go vote when you're done with us, how will you street? >> correct. i will vote no. i'm concerned about miss yellen's approach to monetary policy specifically quantity quantity. melissa: why? what is it that concerns you? i feel like with the move we saw ben bernanke do as his last move a slight tightening that signal she would come in and do more, paving the way for her, that doesn't make you more -- >> we haven't seen that same kind of commentary, out of ms. yellen, i think we need to. we don't get into a situation where we're devaluing the dollar and running risk of inflation both now and down the road. melissa: she has made comments that make you think she is
5:23 pm
pretty focused on inflation. she said the fed is determined to insure we never repeat the experience of the late '70s and '70s when the fed didn't respond forcefully enough to rising inflation. you don't think she would respond forcefully if we saw inflation finally come into play here? >> i'm concerned what we're see something a continued quantitative easing, in other words, continuing to put money in the money supply and increase the money supply. i think that is reflected what you see in the stock market. that is a leading indicator running ahead of the economy aad i vane seen the kind of, willingness to make sure that they slow down the growth in the money supply that we need. melissa: what do you think? what is the negative externality of that? what do you think is the danger in like i said we haven't seen inflation yet. do you think that is coming or we create ad stock market bubble? what is your worry? >> i think you create inflationary pressures that you devalue the dollar. you get into a situation instead
5:24 pm
of doing what you need to do for the economy, which is reduce the regulatory burden, hold the line on axes. make reductions in spending to get the deficit and debt under control, you get kind of a false pickup in the economy that is going to lead to problems down the road. melissa: a lot of things that you just discussed, about tax policy, about regulatory environment, are all sort of your job and not the fed's job. so, i mean, how do you think she is going to impact those things? i mean stopping her isn't going to help the government cut spending or stop regulation or the other things you mentioned? >> i really appreciate that question. that's the whole point. we need to reduce spending. we need to reform the tax code in a way we're not raising taxes but we're lowering and broadening the base. we need to get, reduce that regulatory burden, get the economy growing through those steps, not through artificially inflating it through
5:25 pm
quantitative easing. melissa: she focused her academic research on cost and causes of unemployment and how dangerous long-term unemployment is. does that, does that make you think that she thinks that is a problem the fed should solve? and do you think the fed can solve that problem? >> my concern she is reseparate tiff to the administration and their desire to use quantitative easing to promote the economy and get it going rather than undertaking the fundamental steps we need to take which i have just described. melissa: yeah. 55 senators are supporting her. you know word is that she has more than enough to get through. what do you hope to accomplish by voting no? >> make sure that when she talks about insuring that, in monetary policy we have the necessary fiscal discipline, that she in fact puts into practice. melissa: did you have another candidate in mind you thought would be better, somebody else you were hoping for? >> i think there are any number of candidates that would be good but primarily one in terms of
