2:05 pm
own worst enemy or do you be quiet and go to the sidelines for a while? >> especially on earnings and herbalife missed earnings and stock in free fall, but it is not recovering. he could have just said nothing. >> right. >> all the way around, today would be a great day for bill. >> underscores, just, the problem with bill ackman. this may not be a great company. we've all -- melissa: they have a lot of problems. >> despite lebron's decision, came out with big hullabaloo, he overpromised and underdeliverred and now with the mea culpa. >> what is says about bill, he is wait out there. >> three-hour presentation. melissa: goes all-in. that is way you play it. >> that is not how you play it with the investor. this might be a crappy company. melissa: gopro looking camera ready trading in the green ahead of its first earnings report as public company. look at that, battling back in what is a terrible market right

[laughing] >> janet yellen talking about these tech stocks being overvalued, she was right but she is the reason why. melissa: that's true. spencer what do you think. >> great product. promising company. kids love it because of extreme sports connection. melissa: right. >> trading 65 price-to-earnings ratio. you remember flip cam?
2:07 pm
melissa: i loved it. i had it. i still have one. my kids love to play with them. >> smartphones got better and disrupted it. let me finish my point. melissa: he is right. >> wearable computers coming on in different form factors and new technologies could disrupt gopro like flip cam. >> one of the good things not being tech-savvy like myself, these products come and go you don't even notice it. they're gone. melissa: on that note, tech -- bnb offering services during natural disasters. this is smart. cities everywhere trying to get rid of airbnb. what do they do? make themselves integral in emergencies. we'll find people to play. is this genius right, ceo genius. >> absolutely genius. shows power i think of combination and business and social media. what you can do with it. there are a lot of great things you can do with it. there are few companies taking

advantage of it. gopro is another one taking advantage social media. >> someone who lived in new york city, most of my life, new york city, westchester, county, you name it, there are rent regulations. i don't understand how this company survives in new york. melissa: by cozying up to the government and working out a deal where they can continue to exist. >> cozying up to the federal government. they have to cozy up to the state government. melissa: this is san francisco talking with doing it. they want to work with the government in portland, oregon genius. >> uber is challenging taxi regulations. >> a little different. >> not saying same thing. they will challenge government regulations because they will work out a way people will love this thing. >> rent control, new york city has survived decades. melissa: really entrenched. this is one of my favorite stories of the day. resorting to drastic measures to get college kid in the door, busing students in from college campuses calling it a shopping party.
2:09 pm
put all the kids on buses. they send them to the store. they're having lip sync contests on board but cleverly giving away free food. you offer college kids free food you can could probably drag them anywhere. >> free beer would work. free beer always works. free food doesn't work. melissa: worried about liability. >> forces to retweet it? >> for free food to a college student could get them to retweet anything. >> lundgren is one of the best ceos in the space. think how anachronistic a department store is with millenials. how they grow up shopping and online. i think is very smart thing. if you do it well, i've been in other industries where we bused people in events. you control the message from moment they get on the bus. control the entire brand experience. it is very sharp. melissa: is it sharp? does it show how desperate they are? as former ceo of hostess a major
2:10 pm
company, desperate or really smart. >> brick-and-mortar is desperate in some sense. they are trying to build the bridge and stay in thes space. macy's done exceptional job with department store space. not all with other players in the space. melissa: thank you very much. coming up the droid you're looking for. they might have taken over your job. plus all eyes on tesla. the automaker set to report "after the bell." will "iron man" make wall street swoon? more "money" coming up. ♪

our nation's youth as we gear up for the jobs report tomorrow, teenage unemployment levels, to make employment levels near record low. at the malibu oil is there bar in vero beach, what is going on? >> they're monitoring, in the pools having fun and nothing more but i got to tell you hiring fifteens, 16 to 19-year-old is down, and a couple things like health care, and cutting back servers hours in a 20 year old side, that means a lot of teams getting work but you are a teenager you could be a lifeguard, and -- then you can beat something like. o'malley, he has been on your
2:30 pm
show a few times, you have thousands of applications -- >> there was not that many jobs, struggling to get work and reapply and call, and get as many jobs as we could. >> would you have melissa frances apply for job? >> deegan that what we have to pay. >> i am great, thank you so much, is it the same for everyone, have you found yourself as an employer is good for you. >> is great for us but the problem is you feel bad for the kids. once always the kid job, a lifeguard or busboy in a restaurant or bartender or whatever, now a bunch of older people have to remain in the work force. it is said for the kids, they try to make money for school.
2:31 pm
melissa: you hear about the wage debate all across the country, if you want to pay more, would you raise prices or higher people were taken out of your pocket? >> we do a little bit of each. you wouldn't have any customers, and if you take it out of your profits you would not be in business. i hope it doesn't go up too much. >> the actually has an cellphone policy for all the teenagers at work here and if you see them on their phone no more jobs for them. >> attention for the customers. melissa: record lows, stops and workers continuing to fight for a minimum wage. let's bring in jamie richardson, a genie raborn back with us as well. is an isolated with some uneasiness trying to find jobs without a lot of jobs or is that what you see your business? >> not isolated at all.
2:32 pm
we see across the country in our neighborhood these teens are unemployed and we will have a lost generation of kids that never get a chance to have the first shot at learn skills to take with the arrest of their life. it is real and happening and raising the minimum wage will exacerbate that dramatically. >>. hit an important point which is something we have talked about on this show before and i will be surprised if you don't see it, the age level of people working in jobs that were two with three decades ago, teenager jobs, not intend to the careers and the pressure i think on the minimum wage comes from the fact you have people working in fast-food that are trying to support a family. melissa: when you look at a 62% of the people who are earning minimum wage us students. they are enrolled somewhere else and we are seeing in real-life examples going on here is older people crowding in on the job force trying to support a family so the answer isn't necessarily to raise the wage because obviously when you are making
2:33 pm
$7.25, you are not supporting -- is not a job, you have to retrain people for other jobs. how do you do that? >> the focus is on providing more employment for more people an average workers making 35% above minimum wage the difficulty is with every policy you are trying to understand as implemented from inside the beltway and raises your costs. it is difficult to keep the employment levels. melissa: you are white castle guy. heavy seen it change in the age profile of people who work for you? >> more people i seeking a second job so there's more competition for the part-time because of the health-care law which mandates full time as 30 hours, not 40 hours as it has always been. melissa: is that what we're seeing in the broader economy? >> you hear it consistently, i talk to five or six small-business owners and founders and ceos over the past week to week and without fail they tell me obamacare costs are strangling my ability to grow. i am trying to work through that
2:34 pm
but they also say if minimum wage its mandated up federally, i will let people go. i won't have a choice but to let some people go. melissa: thanks to both of you guys. it was only a matter of time before machines to cover. according to a new survey by career builder, one in 5 companies replaced employes with technology, was supposed to excuse you. this is for you guys. this is the flip side of it. you see automation coming in, and $15 an hour, you are likely to replace someone with automation? are you looking into that? >> always. earnings of -- $150 in profit compared to an average of $10,000, always looking at ways of managing costs and provide hospitality and service the there has to be a bland. melissa: and make the argument that while they are eliminating jobs on 60% of them say the new technology resulted in new positions down the line. do you believe that? is it the same number? when you put a robot on the
2:35 pm
line, and to fix the robot? >> i don't buy that. you hit the nail on the head because it is creating different types of jobs, it highlights the education gap and training that we face. because most of the productivity gains over the last decade are technology based productivity gains so when people say we are on shoring, that doesn't lead to jobs. we manage that kind of business, and it is a different training. dierdre: the person you fired was up front and replaced by the robot doesn't have the skills to fix the robot on the other end, a totally different person so those people are out of luck at the front. that is what the problem is with the economy. every parent's dream after all the blood, sweat and tears that going to raising a kid when the child can finally pay you back,
