but behind the scenes teaser. melissa: i would watch that. number one thing to watch next week will be federal reserve chair janet yellen policy testimony on tuesday. we'll be watching it. david: morn any with melissa is now. melissa: a dire situation in california. an exceptional drought, worst kind of classification and first time ever been declared in california. some communities could soon run out of water entirely. what's happening on farms there could affect the price of each and everyone of us pays for food because even when they say it's not it is always about money. melissa: it is amylin ga drought that could -- megadrought that could crip fill california and governor jerry brown declaring a state of emergency in the golden

sate to have residents voluntarily reduce water use by 20%. the 45 billion-dollar agriculture industry produces half of all u.s. grown, fruits, nuts and vegetables. it is the nation's leading dairy and wine producer. this will hit you in your fridge no matter where you live in this country. here to show us first-hand how bad, the owner after farm and jason peltier from the west land water district. thanks to both of you joining us. i want to ask you because you're standing in the middle of your property there, how hard has this hit you? >> well we're still all trying to get our arms around it. we were told earlier in the season our surface water supply through the irrigation projects will be sear 0% this year. that is typically our entire supply. we do have some ability to pump groundwater to supplement that. in some cases we'll be able to grow maybe half of the acreage we typically do. but in many cases we have a lot

of land laying fallow. the unemployment rate and devastation for just the local rural communities is going to be considerable. and in some cases, growers who have permanent crops like all monday and pistachios or grapevines will see those actually die and huge investment just disappear. melissa: jason, you're from the water district. explain to me that first thing mark said. where is it the water is supposed to be coming from? i grew up in california. it's a dry, arid place. mostly a desert. the water that is there is brow in through a complicated system from somewhere else. where is that water mark is supposed to be getting? where is it coming from? why is it not coming? >> sure, about a third of california agriculture, irrigated agriculture gets from the north directly or indirectly. northern california rivers and snow pack and reservoirs traditionally is our main supply. so we have a third of the central valley, san joaquin

valley is potentially facing a zero supply this year. initially for sure. and most likely on into the future. this is, this is a, it is certainly dry conditions. on average we'll have 400 inches of snow in the high sierras. we're at a few inches now. the reservoirs are as low as they have been in decades. so we have no cushion. we may get a storm this weekend with you but it will take something biblical to really boost the supplies and get us in a better position. last point is, our condition is made much worse this year as a result of endangered species act regulations laid on us for the last 20 years. we've seen 40, 60, 90% cutbacks in our water supply over last 20 years. that leaves us very weak going into a low water year. melissa: mark, let me ask you. they're saying that it would have to, we would have to have heavy rain out there every single day or snowfall every

other day from now until may. to get you back to where you need to be. and that if that doesn't happen, which you know, it would take something biblical for that to happen, that it is going to be years of drought for you. do you have a plan if this doesn't turn around? is there anything within your power besides prayer? >> well, when the surface water supply was brought in back in the '60s, when the central valley project and state water projects were built, they were built with an idea that we do farm in a desert. it is a mediterranean climate. it is what makes it very adaptable. we grow over 350 different crops. so that water supply that comes from northern california is part of the plan. now that it has been taken away, and as jason pointed out, it is not only the climatic drought we're facing but there are a lot of regulations and governmental

problems that have exacerbated it.% and so where we are is -- melissa: no, no i'm sorry. i didn't mean to interrupt you. i was going to ask you, sort of on top of that, how much money will you lose? how much food won't make it to market so everyone can relate to what is going on there as a larger problem? give me some numbers. >> yeah, it is a very diverse farming, on my farm, we farm almonds, tomatoes, garlic, onions, can't hope, lettuce. and those crops typically will have a farm-gate value between 2,000 and $10,000 an acre, depending on the crop. and, you know, whether that's net or gross or, you know, profit or loss, those dollars at the farm-gate are what get circulated in the economy here through labor an inputs and and so that will be shut off. and in our irrigation district we're looking at 200,000 acres that are going to lay fallow at a minimum.

and call it average of $4,000 an acre in revenue that will not owe cure as the land behind me here will lay fallow. >> some estimates we could see half a million acres left out of production in the central valley. so it is, everybody's strategy will be, take whatever little water you have, you can buy in the market, very expensive water. groundwater that is overdrafted. take whatever you can and put it on the permanent trees and vines and have those survive. the row crops will be cut back but, as we've seen in, in 2009 we only had a 10% supply. if we see farmers are so creative and they can substitute so much. maybe a farmer has a different water supply situation 50 miles away. he will be growing crops he never thought he would grow but market is there. the pricing is there, he works on it. melissa: gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us. our thoughts and prayers are with you.

it impacts all of us around the country. thanks for bringing us the story. good luck to you. >> thank you. >> thank you. melissa: who is arthur chu? well he's a four-time consecutive "jeopardy" champion is telling us his money secrets a little later. have you been following this story? "jeopardy" fans are outraged at his strategy, jumping all around the game board, picking different categories different dollar amounts. they're calling him a hero villain. chu, doesn't care, he is in it at end of the day,. you will hear how he cracked the secret in dominating the age-old gain. we have him on the show. independent contractors responsible for much of our job growth in the past three years. yet government interference is threatening their very existence. former senator blanch lincoln is here to tell us how she wants to give business back to the business owners. so she begins. don't miss my interview with one

melissa: fighting for the rights of all workers, job growth still weak despite unemployment falling to a five-year low but one former senator has the key to helping the economy and jobless. joining me from d.c., former democratic senator blanch lincoln, serving as chairwoman of it's my business coalition which works to protect the rights of independent contractors. thank you so much for joining us. why are you focused on independent contractors? >> hi, melissa. why what? melissa: why are you focused on independent contractors? why does that group stick out to you? >> they are the entrepreneurs growing businesses and growing jobs. major corporations are kind of flat with their employment. where jobs are created are with small businesses and independent contractors. right now they're operating in our country under a regulatory regime that is just not productive. it is, the bureaucracy is

difficult. it is conflicting, between state and federal laws and rules that come out and there are small businesses by design. independent contractors are there because they want that kind of a life-style. they want to grow their business themselves. they want to operate on their open terps. they are the ones really growing jobs. there is 10.3 million in our country. that number is really not that accurate. because the federal government stopped counting them in 1996. thought full economists realizing what an important role they play in our economy, estimate we're at about 17 million in the next five years. next five years it will be about 23 million. this is place where we focus on growing jobs. we know jobs are the key to growing our economy. melissa: this is the message gill group. these are folks that can get out there quick -- message gill groups.

franchise owners and anyone who has the courage to steak their own fortune. >> they're flexible and agile as you say. they have great ideas and they're not afraid. look at my home state of arkansas. you look where some of our big companies have come from. they have come from, you know, a man who had one chicken operation and now it is tyson foods or walmart, which started with sam walton. i mean, you know these are people who are passionate about what they do, passionate about creating the job that is help grow the economy. that serve the people. and the customers that are out there. so -- melissa: without question but how do you convince other democrats to lighten up on the regulation? sounds like it is one of your main themes. do they listen to you extra close? seems like those folks on that side of the aisle are for more regulation and bigger government? >> he will with the key here is realize the majority of people, even entrepreneurs, our independent contractors and small businesses agree, i think

75, 80% polls we want clean air, we want clean water, we want safe working conditions. we want all of those things but the fact is we're, no one is getting those things because we're stuck in this quagmire of not only too much regulation but conflicting regulation. and so what they're asking for is smarter government. government that actually wants to partner with them. reaching compliance is good thing but you know, the kind of things that we're seeing are more punitive. they're not working with small businesses an entrepreneurs and independent contractors. now we're actually seeing more punitive things coming about in terms of investigations. you know, that i think there were about $14 million in the president's budget just to investigate independent contractors. the key here is to work with them and help them grow and be what they can be in states. 26 state are now trying to pass laws. there are great ways. good people in congress that are

trying to do things. my good friend and former colleague, senator landrieu with the small business committee was a great champion along with olympia snowe and others. some people really do understand. melissa: i hope so, senator. thanks for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thank you, melissa. melissa: economist peter morici is listening in from d.c. and someone used to compile data he knows the employment report inside and out. don't miss what he has to say about america's job prospects and what he thinks about the validity of today's number. vice president biden going a step too far, this time bashing one of my favorite airports, the nerve! trust me i'm not only person around here upset bit. do you ever have too much money?

melissa: so you win some, you loose some. another disappointing jobs report today but it did have a some silver linings. unemployment did droo to 6.6%. so we have 10 million still out of work but the economy may be moving forward i guess as more people reportedly joined the labor force. that might mean they're just out there looking. hear to weigh in on it all, a man part of creating accounts, my favorite economist, peter morici. thanks so much for joining us. >> nice to be with. >> let's start with the headline number. we didn't add very many jobs. second month in row way below estimates. 113,000. month by, 74,000. not good. does that mean the economy is slowing down from already slow pace. >> section half was fairly robust. we expected it to pull back because consumers got out of ahead of their income.

we expect ad cold winter. this jobs report didn't reflect that in two pieces of evidence. the numbers collected on the 12th of the month, around the week of the 12th and that wasn't a particularly cold month in the northeast, week in the northeast. melissa: right. >> second thing construction was up and hospitality is up. that is where you expect to v. the hit from the cold weather. so you know, this does indicate that the first quarter is a slow quarter. maybe 2% growth. some people coming in with estimates one 1/2. melissa: yee. >> however i see better times coming. i see warmer weather. i see household formation is strong. i see a lot of building and construction in the spring. melissa: why? where are you seeing that? >> people are just tired of living with their parents. and so they're finding ways to buy some kind of a house. melissa: they don't have a job. they don't have a job and -- not that many people got a job this month, peter. >> i know, but we're talking about people that got jobs over last three years. people have been very hesitant to take the plunge.

even young people that are working stayed renters too long. they're ready to start to buy some houses. we're looking for housing starts to pick up. whenever housing starts pick up, so do pickup trucks. it is one of great correlations in the economy. that will be good for the automotive sector, steel sector, aluminum sector, tada. we'll expect to see stronger growth in the second half. i think overall the year beginning say march 1, better still, april 1, will abettor year than 2013 by some considerable measure. melissa: that would be nice. i have hope you're right. let me ask you about the labor force participation rate because it is still at, you know, historic lows. it is still terrible but ticked up slightly this month and some are saying that folks lost their unemployment benefits. so they have become reattached to the workforce. they're out there looking again. is that your read on it? >> well actually, it has to do with the loss of unemployment

benefits. when people lose their unemployment, they have to participate in the labor force. that is they have to actively look for a job. once they lose those benefits, they don't have to register with the unemployment office. frankly a lot of the people on long-term unemployment had other assets and have quit looking for work. that is what we saw happen in north carolina. this is a state program financed by the federal government and north carolina ended its long-term unemployment in july. melissa: we're running out of time and i don't want to run out. will these folks find jobs. that is what i'm worried about? more people than ever looking. because unemployment insurance ran out. will they find anything. >> i don't think it will change the jobs out look at all. one in six men between the ages of 25 and 54 are unemployed. many of them permanently some so permanently they don't even bother to search. melissa: peter morici we're moving to 2:00 p.m. monday eastern? can you join us? can you make room in the

calendar? do you have classes then. >> i have room your bookers made appointment for friday. melissa: i wanted to be sure you knew and coming with us at 2:00. >> i wouldn't miss it for the world. have. >> have a good weekend. not so good news in today's jobs number? is it really progress? here is tom sullivan with his take. >> every year the geeks at the bureau of labor statistics revise data regarding population and jobs in our country. they do this in january. today's revision basically hiked the number of jobs people are doing by half ain. i won't argue with their statistical reasoning but what this does mean, you can not compare historical numbers. the participation rate went up a small fraction last month. wall street is cheering because it finally went up but not down. are more people participating in the workforce? or was it a statistical quirk due tt annual revision by of which boosted the number of jobs and made the economy look rosier? furthermore the geeks get their

data from the census bureau which does a lost guessing about population changes in between the official surveys. and remember, the census bureau was moved into the white house at the beginning of the obama administration. just saying. but officially employment it is growing. it just doesn't feel like it because sadly the majority of of the jobs created over last few years are part time or low-wage jobs. melissa: thanks, tom. boy, i hope somebody told tom we're moving to 2:00 p.m. next week. i will send him an email. catch the tom sullivan on fox news talk, siriusxm and many local radio stations every weekday at 3:00 p.m. up next the harsh winter across the country may get even bleaker. someplaces are getting dangerously low on the rock salt needed to melt ice on the roads. how did something so essential become so scarce? we need to get to the bottom of this one. ahoy there, maties.

i'm going tell you i'm bugged about this. this is my favorite airport. i apparently he hasn't been to the delta terminal. it had had a $50 plus facelift. they have 2,000 ipad. it's like the airport of the future. you order food from an ipad. they bring you a glass of wine. it's lovely. what did you think about this? >> unfortunately i happen to agree with him. >> have you been to the delta terminal? >> i have. i think it's the other terminals he's focusing on. the fact that airport was built in the '30s you have 20 million people going through there a year. it's built for about 8 million. the trek to la guardia is unless they make even more investment. it's scary. melissa: the governor -- port authority issued a statement that basically said feel free to give us money. governor cuomo said he has a $3.6 billion renovation ready and underway. to me, had he made the statement he was trying to get a lot of

media attention when which he's succeeding in. doesn't every airport need some spending at this point? why pick on la guardia? >> well, la guardia rank at the bottom of the list. it has for the past five to ten years. so i think that's why people focus on la guardia. the top 30 airports in the country are in abysmal shape. particularly when you compare them to the rest of the world. we have economies that are lot smaller than new york city like sweeden. like indonesia, switzerland, netherlands, they have better airports than we do in this country. that's a sad state for travelers and businesses that rely on the airports to bring customers. melissa: why the airlines are charging so much money for ticket but none is going too@ refurbish the airport? >> some is in la guardia's case. they have to pay the private sector investors back to the rate and charge they pay to the airport. one of the problem congress capped what travelers have to pay. user fees can go to. that's a huge problem when

they're not letting local airports operate in a market oriented fashion. and a lot of those taxes they do collect from travelers they're taking them away from the airport that need them the most like la guardia and sending them to smaller airports. melissa: wait, hang on. before we run out of time. let break it down. one of the problems is basically travelers aren't being taxed enough in order to pay for the airports to get upgraded. as a traveler, i think i'm paying any. i'm not sure it was a problem. the money than is being paid is not going to the airport where you're flying out of. it's going other airports grandpa is that? >> that's right. because the federal system for funding our airport doesn't necessarily look at economic impact. a lot of times take away money from the airport that have the most passengers. so that is part of the political problem. but then for user fees, people who use the airport, when cost for construction go up, the user fees don't necessarily match. and if you actually have a

system where they matched. melissa: maybe because people would travelless and you have less traffic and wouldn't get the revenue you think if ticket prices went any higher. i'm not sure people would be traveling. >> it would be a small investment and reduce things like delays and cancellation. our research shows is driving more people to stay at home. the system is unreliable in the end. the experience is bad. we have to choose what we're going invest in. >> thank you for coming on. i still love la guardia. it's 10 minutes from my house. thank you. have a good weekend. trouble for the snow patrol more than a dozen states are running low on rock salt for icy roadway it is could pave the way for problems as big storms are expected this weekend. alease ya acuna is covering the story. >> reporter: we're at minerals which has a salt line here that has -- where i'm standing is 200,000 ton inventory right here in the

area. and this really is the good stuff here. you see that pink ting it has. these are the minerals that make it possible for it to be effective at zero degrees fahrenheit when it is on the road. redman supplies rock salt to 28 different states west of the mississippi. but with the bad weather, it's the states that are in the east that are really eating up all the supply. and redman is having a hard time getting is its salt to where it is needed fast enough. >> right now there's a shortage of real colors and the infrastructure we need to get that kind of volume back there. these customers are looking for tens of thousands of tons of product and obviously that becomes a bit of a challenge if you're shipping it a little bit at the time. a truckload at the time. >> reporter: wisconsin just received a new replenishment in the rock supply. but the states aren't getting things quick enough, as you just heard. and part of the problem is that,

you know, every time it snows, think about, that salt needs to hit the road otherwise it gets slick and dangerous. but it's not only effects people in that way but also effects the economy. because when you think about these large accidents that hit the highways that we've seen, it slows things down dramatically. it affects the commerce locally, statewide, nationwide. that's where folks are desperate to get it out there. the salt institute said there isn't a actual shortage map is happening is the supply getting depleted in places where it is so difficult to refill. so they're having to try to hit the roads with salt. they're trying to use backup stuff like things based with sugar even beet juice. but nothing really works as well as a deicer as a salt. melissa: wow. thank you. up next from brown tap water to cameras in the shower. could the story out of sochi be any weirder? we are talking to our own

every corner of the glen money has been flying around the world today. starting in rio riots have broken out over a 10 cent increase in bus fare. train and bus stations have been taken over by demonstrations. thousands of commuters are stranded. some locals are angry. they say the money is going to go toward the upcoming world cup instead of being spent on more important things like education. several nations are pledging

brown water? coming out of the hotel facet to unfinished structures and now accusations of hidden cameras in the shower. millions of dollars go in to sending athletes to the games and we want to hear firsthand what are u.s. 0 olympians are experiencing. i had a chance to talk to jordan malone. he's going for the gold at his second olympics. >> we have heard so much about the conditions there. from the brown water, i mean, you heard it. what is it like? >> caller: yeah, i mean, i guess things did tend to get hyped up in the media. i can assure you're seeing nub of that -- none of that. most is coming from media. i guess it's somewhat from people -- but inside where the athletes are doing everything and staying, you know, it's great. they have made it hospitable and we're loving being here. melissa: you're not seeing any

of the things you're hearing from brown water to the bizarre, you know, stories of two toilets in one bathroom and sharing bathrooms and people going upstairs that are locked to get to the hotel room. you're not seeing any of these things? >> nope i i can assure you i have seen none of them. it's on facebook and through media sources. i haven't seen any brown water. we had a clogged drain issue in the beginning it was fixed extremely quickly. but no, i mean, we haven't seen anything but hospitable conditions and we're excited to be here, that's for sure. melissa: what about the conditions for your actual competition? you were in vancouver, obviously, we've heard about snowboarder shaun white dropping out because he felt the course was too dangerous. how are the conditions for the actual competition? >> yeah, i mean, things tend to be pretty cookie cutter when it comes to our sport. the ice conditions can change

pretty frequently depending where you go. one thing you have to deal with in the olympics we share a venue with figure skating. so figure they like the ice a little bit differently. it's a little thicker. it's a little softer. but that's something that all skaters have to deal with. passenger's side the fact that nobody is benefiting it from more than the other. so we do our best and try to bring home medal. >> how does it compare to vancouver so far? >> caller: excuse me? melissa: how does it compare to vonn cover so far? >> it's so great. the conditions as far as climate are pretty similar. we're by a large body in water. in vancouver was the same. vancouver was very urban. this venue they built everything sort in one area. we are able to ride bikes or walk to all the venues. which is something we couldn't do in vancouver. that's a nice change for us as opposed to four years ago.

and everything else, you know, i mean, the olympicses is a showcase for our country to -- [inaudible] and the stuff has to offer. i think russia is doing a great job. melissa: you said a lot is hype about the media. i have to ask about the report that is making the round. it comes from the "the wall street journal," not ones known to hype things. talking about the deputy prime minister for olympics preparations democratic national committee try saying this morning basically that there are cameras, videocameras in the bathrooms in the showers for olympics guests. he was talking about claims of sabotage that people have left the water running all day so the venue would run out of water when asked how he knew that, he said because they have cameras in the showers and they can see people turning the nozzle and turning it on and leaving it on all day. which begs the question why are there cameras in the shower? how do you feel about it? does it make you feel nervous or uncomfortable? >> i'm going laugh it off. i'm techy and geeky.

i could tell if there was -- james bond being here. but there were motion detectors in our rooms. which was kind of weird. but other other than that. people start to freak out and think there were cameras and throwing shirts over them. i have seen nothing of the sort. so i could be wrong but i'm telling you it's been a great experience and i don't see any sabotage or unfair play. melissa: you were obviously an athlete. you are focused on competition. we applaud that. good luck to you. thank you very much for coming on. >> thank you very much! so coming up the outrageous upstart that has jeffrey up in arms. the guy has made more than $100,000 but his controversial strategy and the hate tweets are rolling in. wait until you hear how this guy has turned the game on its head. he's going tell me about it next. don't move. you never have too much "money ."

backlash. there's a #team chu. it's flattering. i don't know if the fans outnumber the haters. i definitely see lot more positivivity than negativity than now. it'' overwhelming for me. melissa: how long do you think you can keep it going. you have already won $1 02,000. what do you think? >> well, you know, the games taped awhile ago. i have my fifth game coming up. it's already happened. i can't talk about what happened. but i will say every time you finish a game, the only thing to do is think about the next game. you can't think about too far in the future. you have to take it one step at the time. melissa: what you're doing is interesting game theory. i wonder has harvard business school reached out and said why don't you come in and teach a course? it's very logical. you went through and looking at the odds and the smartest way to play and it's surprising that more people before you haven't played like this. do you think other people will follow in your footsteps and change the game forever? >> i kind of hope so.

because there's been some very successful people in the past like i mentioned roger craig. the number two play of all time behind ken jennings in term of regular season winnings david madden. they get attention and drop out of the public eye. i guess the traditional way to play is simpler and easier to follow. the lesson i can say you can learn aside math. sometimes success are doing the things that are hard that other people aren't willing to do. melissa: we are on team chu and are rooting for you thank you for coming on. it's the last week before our big move to 2:00 p.m. it it was a memorable one. we have more bad medicine with obamacare. we hit our credit cards with hackers and went prison. here is a a look back. >> brand new development in both the wage war and health care hell. >> it's time for americans to have the conversation about

it's a answer. not the answer. >> melissa: federal workers suing the government over the hardship. >> these are not folks that are asking something for nothing. here it's not a think tank. it's real. >> the super bowl scored in one way. >> did you have a giant fur lady coat? >> i did. someone took it. i see broadway joe wearing my coat. >> i'm on fox business. >> yes you are, damn it. >> you don't have to be ashamed if you are doing it for the money. big news! starting on monday we are moving. you can catch us at 2:00 p.m. eastern. i packed the truck. you can get your fix of everything money earlier! >> that's right moving to 2:00 p.m. eastern on monday. we have room in the truck. if there's anything you want to bring along. meet through at 2:00 p.m. shiver my dimmers. you'll never guess who made money. the hollywood heartthrob made a
