melissa: the mac attack in second day as hundreds of protesters target mcdonald's shareholder meeting. workers and activists calling for $15 minimum wage and pay cut for ceo don thompson. let's bring in our panel. fox business's charlie gasparino of course and "wall street journal" veronica daguerre and a and g capital hilary kramer. thanks to all three of you for joining us. hillary, what do you think about this. >> mcdonald's is never going to raise the minimum wage and franchise owners, make 70, $80,000 a year. they make $100 a week. they pay the price if minimum wage went up to $15 an hour. mcdonald's need more healthy and get more people in there and maybe they would have the money. melissa: are wages set at this level or local level? aren't 0% of the restaurants owned by franchisees, veronica? >> franchisees bear the brunt of this and determine how many people get paid. this will propagate automation.

we're seeing this in a lost mcdonald's, a lot of fast-foods in general. this will encourage them to do it more. melissa: charlie, you go to mcdonald's every day? never. >> i don't go to mcdonald's in 15 years. i think the food is toxic. >> mcdonald's is good in moderation. >> and so is, you know, anyway, you know, people forget, let's break this out a little bit. a fran sighsee is a small business person. melissa: right. >> these are a bunch of small business people. they are not attacking gm or some huge conglomerate or ge screwing workers around the world. they are attacking mom-and-pop people that have tight margins. that is why this can't work. if you force them a lot of mcdonald's will go out of business. melissa: thompson is making $9.5 million a year. they're not realizing that is what this is about. anyway, moving on. twitter trying to calm investors nerves. ceo dick costello, telling investors that they believe in

themselves even though the stock plummeted 50 mers this year. you like at this time e twitter as a stock. >> i hate twitter as a stock. i like twitter as information vehicle. his best quotes or most absurd quote, i like what happened last quarter. you know this guy is not ready for prime time my belief. if you read his quotes how he quarter which was a problematic quarter, this guy should not be the public face. melissa: hillary, would you buy the stock? >> i wouldn't buy twitter even at this price. however, charlie makes the best point. twitter is a very useful tool and very important and very unique. if you have to go to somewhere, go to facebook. melissa: veronica, what sticks out to me, 40% of the users aren't real. that was the real revelation and went through and backed out who was who. 40% are fake bottombots somebody programmed somewhere else. >> a lot of fake users. a lot of people who use it but have an account not using it. they are not tweeting. they don't know what to do with it.

melissa: we have a good time. i love it. i'm on it all the time. i don't know how that is making money or -- >> have you ever bought anything from twitter? melissa: no. they have promote it, i close, whatever is promoted i close it immediately. i look to see what people are talking about. right, yeah. anyway, despite the unemployment rate ticking down, a new survey from express employment professionals finds that half of jobless americans have completely given up looking for work. this is so depressing. 47%. >> right now you have to, i think you have to parse through exactly what was said. i mean, like all these surveys, it was kind of all over the place but there was one distilling fact you hit on. people are very down and they're starting to give up. melissa: totally discouraged. >> that is how unemployment is going down by people giving up. people leaving workforce. >> that's right. that 6.3% unemployment number is really 6.3% of the population is looking for a job. all of the rest really have dropped out. and the problem most, it is also, an age-related situation

too. demographically it will get worse. we have a jobless recovery. and that is the problem and why some people gloss over it. maybe finally everyone will take a look and realize -- melissa: it is true. veronica, when you look at other financial news coverage they talk about all the baby boomers that have retired, that is what this is about. 47% given up and retired and rolling in all their money. i don't know any of those people. >> there are a lot of young men out of work. men especially have been hard-hit by this. this is especially depressing, men in prime years of earnings who can't find work. real problem. seems like a structural problem. >> this structural problem, barack obama came in as president, preaching hope and change. right, help the 1%. much help, 99%, not the 1%. there has been biggest transfer of wealth during this economy to that 1% primarily because of quantitative easing which kept interest rates low. if you have enough money to put in the stock market, it was easy money. that is the real problem.

that is why you have protests in front of mcdonald's. they should blame the person they voted for. melissa: right this is a story charlie been all over. new york stock exchange ceo, duncan duncan neiderauer. he will remain as president through august. our own charlie gasparino reported in december he would likely leave ice this year. is there anything new here that surprising wall street? >> no. we reported -- melissa: replacement, maybe? >> we reported so many times, february we said he was likely to leave when they spin out the division. neither neither is -- duncan neiderauer is good man. i know him as good executive. one of the problems at nyse is changing business model. melissa: yeah. >> the bottom line, who would ever think about this 10 years ago when dick grasso was running it. the new york stock exchange would sell to a computer. ice is like five guys in a room in atlanta. they control -- melissa: i saw at nymex. i saw same transition one of the first reporters down on the floor when they did private equity buy it i don't.

i don't snow if you understand. you're going away. >> neared near, he really did an -- duncan neiderauer did an excellent job helping shareholders of new york stock exchange. >> as best as he could, as best as he could. look at stock price, it is stock price. a lot of people that owned the stock at highs would not say that. this is market moved away from electronic trading, you know, lack of, and then lack of equity order flow going to the floor of the stock exchange has really crushed the shares. he had to sell to the ice. melissa: this one was incredible to me too. more problems at general motors. the automaker recalled more vehicles than it has sold since its bankruptcy in june 2009. so it sold 12.1 million vehicles in the u.s. it has recalled 13.8. >> buy tesla. buy tesla. short gm. i think that is answer here. >> average folks can't buy tesla. i think issue is, what is really interesting, gm new car sales haven't reflected that.

so you would think that the public relations damage would be huge. yet people are still buying gm cars. i find that amazing. >> this is going to be a litigators bonanza. here is what i know. i know the board is considering lawyering up or has lawyered up. when the board starts to lawyer up not a pro-forma thing. if this thing goes beyond, you could trace it back before the bailout, you got some real litigation problems. i mean, that bailout, i mean when they bailed them out, did the federal government know about this? what was known? >> all of that is going to come out but the key is management distraction. when you have management distraction that will undermine the shares eventually. >> i say more than a management distraction. if you can say this thing will be litigated the next 10 years in major way because they knew about it before the bailout or knew about it before they issued shares this thing -- they could kill the company. just, shareholders should know that. melissa: agreed. guys, thanks so much. google hitting you right in the kisser. the tech giant's plan to cash in by using your face as a

credit and to be so easy, it is too tight. totally to the other direction. melissa: you have to put 25% down, you are saying you have to get a loan. you can't get a loan if you do that? >> to come up with, as far as that, credit scores are much tighter if you have your own business, it is almost impossible to get a loan. it has gone the direction. melissa: shouldn't that make affordability better? prices should come down? people must allow underwater. the whole inventory issue, there's not a lot of quality. they are not selling it. if you are looking to spend $1 million on an apartment in won't look for something that is less than 500 square feet but look at this mini manhattan

governing body requires that each stadium is tested out full capacity for three games before the world cup begins, but they are not going to even require the standard because the stadiums are ready. so, yet 12 stadiums either new or where there has been a lot of renovation and you don't even know how prepared those stadiums are. melissa: i have to wonder, spencer, you are a huge soccer fan does this just make it more exciting to plane stadium that's falling down around him? >> it seems like every time we have an olympics are world cup there is always like this that the host company will not be ready. in greece it was like nothing was going to be finish it went off pretty well and no one got hurt, but maybe this is the time it actually does blow up in the country's face. melissa: i guess, mike what do you think? >> i don't think there will be a cross topic event, but what does happen when you're behind is that the costs go up because you're not monetary payments and so forth and to the point about greece and greece lost a town of money and is still

paying off debt , so that's one of the problems. they are paying over twice as much, brazil is, to put on these world cup they in south africa did four years ago. melissa: it seems like it's the booby prize to win of these events. like you sign up for it and it's going to be this big moneymaking thing and unit spending a fortune, it's a disaster and it ends up being a huge cost to read they have spent $7 billion already of the 11 billion plant. >> you heard this about sports stadiums in the us. there's this whole countermovement because it's like economically not a wise thing to do because you waste these resources and they don't provide a great return. the same thing as being said here, the bigger issue for brazil is that they have a reputation challenge because it was one of the high growing fast growing countries and now they are encountering turbulence insane this could actually scare her away foreign if they screw this up and the

crime issue in protest issue grows it could scare away foreign investment. that would be horrible for brazil. melissa: definitely. thank you to both of you. that's all we have for now great i hope you are making today. liz claman starts right now with countdown to the closing bell. liz: trying for their fourth game in five sessions, but will that housing news spoil the party. steers, once the pinnacle of the world now sears is closing stores and losing more money as it struggles to keep up with my walmart and target three we will look at whether sears is a dead retailer walking or was there any effort to keep it alive? looking for a sprinkling? flirting with the idea of a new home? redfin lets you comparison shop from the comfort of your living room to read it's a broker's arm you with every thing you need to know before you run to your bank. ceo glenn kelman joining us to talk extension plans and how
