get ready or get sued. the insurance company says it is citi's fault for not being prepared for climate change. even when they say it's not it is always about money. before we get to those stories we have to show you what is happening with apple today in anticipation of new iphone 6. this could be a clue from the multibillion-dollar deal for beats electronics is going to be become official. here to talk about all this, our own charlie gasparino. operationsy byrnes and nyu associate professor, mark brennan. surprised apple is back above $600 a share. >> i would not. i wouldn't call 1 1/2% soaring. $8 move. no big deal. adam: iphone 6.

consolidation. because if they did the deal. brian roberts is giving lot of money to the obama administration. most people think that is one thing, bait. maybe you guys no better than me, seems to a lot of overlap, comcast and twc, from what i understand, not a lot of overlap in terms of customers they serve. there is a degree of overlap between directv and at&t which could pose a legitimate antitrust concern. adam: tracy? >> do you worry about the nfl sunday ticket thing falling through? that could be a big deal and out for at&t and using it as their out for walking away from the deal? right now it says in the contract, if directv doesn't get approval for the sunday ticket at&t will walk. adam: do you think it is good for consumers. >> i don't think this is good for consumers. let me continue negative vain. h.l. menken says when he smells flowers he looks for a funeral

lot of things on deal. printing press. polio vaccine and man and moon and i don't know what youtube is trying to deal with this unthis is like "saturday night live" where captain kirk tells a fan go find a girl. have we jumped the shark on youtube. >> when i was in "newsweek" magazine, 2005, 2006, couple months we were disintermediated. guess why? barely because of the internet. i think there's a good chance all of us here get disintermediated by you yoush. this is the future. >> this is good. the kids are there. adam: this isn't about gaming. this is having a visual interface and face time. >> they're putting together a tv network. adam: we'll work for youtube? they all came from nbc by the way. >> people will laugh at this. that is chance that ends broadcasting. the way they deliver news and deliver content i should point out could end broadcasting. >> there is xbox one channels,

playstation channels all in the twitch they're looking to purchase. >> on negative side, wwe is trying a youtube channel flopping. just remember, not done yet. adam: so wage wars may have reach ad global tipping point with swiss voters overwhelmingly rejecting a proposal for the world's highest minimum wage. we talked about this doing the world proud. i'm not so sure i would have said that mark, is the right thing? it was 25 bucks when you adjust it for what it would have been -- 17 bucks. seems really high. >> remember, adam, minimum wage laws do not create a single job. they only outlaw jobs. hurray for switzerland for doing this. adam: don't they move wages up? >> for the middle class but put a lot of people out of the market so under a certain wage you can't be hired, people entering wage force, teenagers, lower level of skill they're out of a job. >> that is different demographic in the united states. we have plenty of people come from other countries. switzerland is not destination for unwashed masses.

adam: pretty unwashed money. >> that's right. boosting minimum wage there i don't think has big impact as it has here, let's face it, small businesses flourish here. they hire, they hire people on low end to do mean y'all labor. when you start raising that low end wage, small businesses hire? >> this is democratic vote. this is democratic vote. >> the largest union party in switzerland back, all they were doing backing about 300,000 people who don't make as much as the rest of the rich country. so we were just trying to bump some people up? not enough to push companies out. adam: what's the message though for the united states? can anyone here draw a conclusion from that? >> no. adam: because we're so different. >> no. >> we never had, 75% of the public in switzerland voted against this we never had 75% of the people vote for anything in country. >> listen, my grand parents were part of unwashed masses. >> mine too. >> probably yours and yours as well. adam: yes they were. >> they like higher minimum

wages. economics are particularly bad. in this country a country that subsists on small businesses making money and employing, boosing their cost of capital and labor -- >> our grandparents wouldn't want a handout. adam: talking about grandparents, have you had your grandmother, why haven't you got a girlfriend, why haven't you got somebody? face book is getting a little nosey in your relationships, adding a friend ask why you're a lonely, i won't say the word, single, not spins sister. danger to ask anyone why they're single. >> i'm last american who is not on facebook. >> nor me. >> that makes two of us. the reason why they have to add the button if you're on facebook all day you're probably single. >> probably true. >> or you're getting divorced. >> i'm neither single or getting divorced i get a ton of dating ads on facebook. >> look at you. come on!

adam: i met miss germany. >> met miss germany. adam: spent months of about lunch miss germany. >> maybe typing on miss germany gets me in trouble. maybe i'm on it all day. adam: first rule of friendship, you never ask a friend, why are you single. you just don't. like saying what is wrong with you. >> pick up the phone and call him. make human contact. go visit him. >> if you're using facebook you've thrown all the he hadket out the window -- etiquette. >> all my friends love being single. adam: on that note, charlie gets last word. under cover chinese agents have been infiltrating our testimony companies and now the u.s. is fighting back. plus the climate change showdown. insurance companies figured out a new way to claw back all the money they have been losing through natural disasters and it is going to cost taxpayers billions. you can't make this up. more "money" coming up. ♪.

adam: the justice department is charging five chinese military officials with cyber espionage, accusing them of targeting major u.s. companies and stealing trade secrets. >> this is a case alleging economic espionage by members of the chinese military. the range of trade secrets and other sensitive business information stolen in this case is significant. and demand an aggressive response. >> this case marks the first time the united states government has publicly accused foreign state employees of hacking. let's bring on our fox panel. business's jo ling kent, new york university adjunct professor ann lee, and scott martin from united advisors. let me start with ann. is this much ado about nothing? don't we all spy on each other and i'm shocked to find gambling in this establishment, here are your winnings, sir. >> i'm not defending china. it is possible they have done these things but i would say that this raises a lot of questions because this is one

big pr smear campaign because frankly why single out china when it's common knowledge that many other countries like russia or india have been doing similar things? and, also, why, is this not being handled diplomatically behind closed doors? frankly things, country to country nature, usually have been handled this way as opposed to through the judicial system which is very unusual. adam: liz, not as if those five individuals will ever come to this country to face those charges. i have got to get to scott. scott, i'm curious, let me read awe statement from the chinese government. the u.s. accusation against chinese personnel is purely ungrounded and absurd. so there. i can't make a hand gesture i would like to but if the chinese government is telling the secretary from the justice department, you know what? >> yeah. a lot of people have been telling him that, adam. to your point, even to ann's point they're saying good luck

getting your hand on these buys because they will not be coming over into your grips, united states and i think that is the interesting point. what did it this time? this was, was there a hack a couple of months ago that crossed the line? if you guys remember, china's certainly been one of the biggest offenders here. many, many years ago was attacking google trying to find government data. they called this thing the hidden links, which is one of the biggest hacking attempts on google servers they ever had. we didn't see anything come from it. this is total pr move. we're all spying on each other anyway so good luck getting these guys to prosecution. adam: jo, you lived in main mainland china and you understand the social differences between the way we live in the united states and the chinese. how much of an insult and how dangerous is what the government has done publicly for future business relations? >> well looking at it, this is certainly unprecedented as we've talked about but this is, it is kind of exactly what the chinese should be expecting and their

response is exactly how u.s. diplomats are expecting them to respond, saying we're not going to acknowledge this, this is not true. so they're protecting a nationalist front as they wont to do in any controversial situation involving dalai lama or businesses or hacking like this. it definitely seems like the u.s. is willing to risk the relationship that president obama has with president xi, even though carney, the press secretary said look, this is priority. they already discussed this in their many discussions there. is risk there that will be a step backwards. adam: liz, i will give you last word. don't american businesses spy on american businesses and steal information from one another? i mean they could wind up in court but doesn't that happen. >> of course. there is long list of those cases. anyone going on the internet can see there are dozens and dozens of them. in this is no new news frankly. most companies dealt with industrial espionage by coming out with a better mousetrap. they devote more to the technology.

frankly u.s. military received billions of dollar every year to invest in better toys, better guns and everything. so why not just invest more in cyber technology and security to counteract this problem rather than just using the legal system which we know goes nowhere because there is log list of cases. adam: we have 12 carriers groups and they have got one and they had to buy a used carrier from ukraine. i will leave it there. shares of identity theft company lifelock is not looking so secure. that stock is plummeting. nicole petallides on floor of the new york stock exchange. >> that's right. we have to be careful how we present it. not that they have a security problem. however they are trying to be in compliance with the payment card industry. so, this particular area, wallet app, that is used on various different apps such as amazon apps, google play, the app store, this is lifelock wallet. what they are doing is basically

upgrading it. if you're a lifelock wallet user and you go there you may find all your personal pass codes may be deleted or personal data may be deleted. only because they're upgrading this to meet compliance. something obviously problematic. the stock is to the downside. nobody wants anything with personal data having a problem. back to you. adam: eyes on the floor of nyse, thank you very much, nicole petallides. sleeping in your ride got a whole lot fancier. adults can snooze in car-shaped beds that look like your local garage. folks paying 200 bucks for the privilege. it is not even leather. plus jill abramson making her first comments since her high-profile dismissal from "the new york times." none other than than melissa francis was there herself as it all went down. don't miss what miss francis has to tell us. ever have too much money? ♪.

was there to take it all n she joins us now on the telephone. and did she bring up anything to do with the accusations of pay inequity or something else in play? did she say? >> she didn't talk about pay inequity at all. she very much, though she drew on the theme of resilience through the whole thing, talking about everything that she had been through, i think the line you guys played without question was the funniest and got the biggest roar from the crowd because there are some kids out there graduating this year, something like 80% who don't have a job so far. when she said that it was very funny. it really struck home with the kids. you know, i'm with a bunch of grads now. when i talk to them afterwards, these junk ladies and gentlemen, they seem likes kid to me. of course they're not. they said they loved she was very down-to-earth. she seemed to have jeans on under her gown. this is not confirmed. but she looked very casual. she stayed and shook hands of all the grads.

better with building codes and preparedness. it isn't good enough. >> these communities didn't prepare for climate change. i should point out farmers insurance, we did the research, donated over $3 million to political candidates and ballot measures which oppose climate change legislation. something's wrong there, don't you think? >> they may be want the $3 million back, adam. this whole climate change context of conversation has been going on for a long time. a lot of these issues arise out of the disaster that was hurricane katrina that ultimately got dismissed with regard to climate change maneuvers. if you look at the payments of flood insurance, nationwide to have doubled so i got the

>> i feel like i'm in the zone a lot, so i think that's cool. adam, so your little an ec dolt, it's all -- anecdote, it's all about convenience. this has something too -- to it, but their business model is built around this parking convenience. in some of the big cities in this country, it's tough to have, yes, it's tough to find spots, by the way. they're getting some exposure with regards to parking spots, but they're not having that watershed success with regards to all these spots suddenly opening up and being able to drop the car wherever you want. adam: is this a viable business, say, in a place like manhattan? they're going to expand in the united states. people love bmw, but would it work here since it is so hard? >> sure. i pay $550 a month to park my car, and i think it's also about the fact there are people out there who would rather drive a bmw than your typical zip car. the ones i see are not so cool.

i don't care about that, there are people who do. if you drive a bmw, park it wherever you want, it's a great deal. adam: but let me go back, this is the electric car, so it's not quite as the 5 series, or is it? >> no, it's not. and it's decked out with all these advertisements, so it's not like you're driving around in a sweet, kicky drive series. that's all i'm saying. >> okay, i take back everything i said. i had not seen that. adam: you know, this car-sharing is catching on nationwide, but eventually are cities like new york going to say nada because the streets are so congested? >> it's still hard to do here, but it's plausible. i mean, it happens now, and it's working now, so i don't think this just goes away. adam: scott, i'm giving you the last word. will we see other luxury makers do the same thing? mercedes, perhaps, or jaguar? >> i'm not so sure. i like the idea, heck, i might even try it, but i think there's

still a lot of work that needs to be done especially as it relates to parking. adam: got it. all right, thank you both. thank you for joining us, i hope you're making some money today.
