conference. we'll bring it to you as soon as it happens. meantime i want to bring in today's panel, fox business's own dave asman. "barron's" editor jack otter and spencer ante. what is your favorite memory or role? >> wow, i think "awakenings." where he played the psychiatrist. how ironic he played characters he was on either side of in real life. but that's when you could see him as a real actor. melissa: yeah. >> he actually, the, for me the judge of a good actor if he can make plea genuinely laugh and cry and he did both. melissa: "goodwill hunting" too. >> absolutely. melissa: jack? >> i was a cub reporter in east hampton covering steven spielberg's wedding to kate capshaw. williams was one of the guests. the at rehearsal dinner he ran up the stairs of nick and tony's restaurant singing, singing in the rain. he seemed so gleeful. the guy was as you on.

he was never not performing. melissa: yeah, spencer. >> "goodwill hunting" for me. we all knew his craziness, his antics, the speed, his mind works so fast. always on like you said. when with "goodwill hunting" he sort of quieted down showed you whole another side of his humanity. he always had this deep humanity to him which endeared him to a lost peel. he was crazy. showed the real side of humanity. that is what stays with me. melissa: yeah. >> to that point he was always on, guy who knew him pretty well, jamie masada founder of laugh factory where he performed quite frequently, here is the quote after he heard he died, jamie said he was always in character. i knew him 35 years and never heard him. >> carville was on with bill o'reilly, sat in the green room, 25 minutes of straight comedy. never let down. impromptu. melissa: i tweeted this morning, we mentioned "mork & mindy," i played mindy in flash back

his way to help peep. just, it is just, god, suicide is just an awful thing. the problem is you leave a legacy of bad legacy behind as well. it is a tragedy. melissa: fox news's william la jeunesse went down to the hollywood walk of fame in los angeles as fans mourned robin williams. here's that. >> well, this is where robin williams got his start, the comedy club circuit in hollywood. the improve, the comedy store, here at the laugh factory on sunset boulevard. take a look at the mark key. it challenges robin williams rest if peace to take his comedy talent to the next level, to make god laugh. outpouring of appreciation for lifetime of entertaining. this is picture from his star on the hollywood walk of fame. instead of a moment of silence last night, his fellow comedians celebrated his career in movies, tv, stage. >> anyone look working today look to robin williams and pull

unconscience and not breathing inside his residence at 59 st. thomas in unincorporated tiburon, california. the caller was distraught, indicated at that time apparent suicide due to hanging was taken place and rigor mortis set in. the sheriff's office as well as representatives of the tiburon fire department and southern marin fire protection district were dispatched to the incident with emergency personnel arriving on scene at 12:00 p.m. the male subject, who was pronounced deceased by firefighters from the tiburon fire department at 12:02 p.m. has been identified as robin mclauren williams, 63-year-old resident of unincorporated tiburon, california. preliminary information developed during the investigation by coroner division personnel revealed mr. williams had been seeking treatment for depression. mr. williams was last seen alive by his wife at approximately

10:30 p.m., on august 10th, 2014, when she retired for the evening in a room in the home. it is unknown at this time when mr. williams retired for the evening in a bedroom in his home at approximately 10:30 a.m., on august 11th, 2014, mr. williams's wife left the home, believing mr. williams to still be asleep. mr. williams's personal assistant became concerned at approximately 11:45 a.m., when he failed to respond to knocks on his bedroom door. at that time the personal assistant was able to gain access to mr. williams's bedroom and entered the bedroom to find mr. williams clothed in seated position, unresponsive with a belt secured around his neck with the other end of the belt wedged between the closed closet door and the door frame. his right shoulder area was touching the door with his body perpendicular to the door and slightly suspendedded.

mr. williams, at that time was cool to the touch with rigor mortis present in his body and positioned appropriately for the position he was located in. the inside of mr. william's left wrist had several acute, superficial transfer cuts. a pocketknife with a closed blade was located in close proximity to mr. williams. the pocketknife, was examined and a dry, red material was located on the, excuse me, blade of the knife which appeared consistent to dried blood. it is unknown at this time if the dried red material is in fact blood, or if it is mr. williams's blood but scientific testing will be conducted to evaluate its investigative value. mr. williams was transported from the scene to the napa county sheriff's office morgue by the coroner division pending a forensic examination which was conducted this morning prior to this press conference. the forensic examination

conducted by dr. joseph cohen, who is the sheriff's office for marin county chief forensic pathologist did not reveal any injuries indicating mr. williams had been in a struggle for physical altercation prior to him being located deceased. preliminary, and again i say preliminary results of the forensic examination revealed supporting physical signs that mr. williams's life ended from a a fix yaw due to hanging. -- a fix yaw. 69 toxicology testing will be conducted to determine if mr. williams had any chemical substances within his system at the time of his death. toxicology results will be available, excuse me, will not be available for approximately two to 60 weeks while the test something being performed. please note that this is an active investigation into the cause, manner and circumstances of mr. williams's death. the work of the coroner's office is not complete at this time. the final cause and manner of death will not be certified

until the conclusion of the investigation which is several weeks away. when the investigation is concluded, and our final results are ready for dissemination, a press conference will be scheduled at that time. additionally i have received numerous requests for copies of 911 and dispatch recordings as well as investigative reports. please note each request will be handled in accordance with public record guidelines with responses provided to those who have submitted them within 10 days. media inchoirries should be continued to directed to me, lieutenant keith boyd, via my email at kboyd@marin sheriff.org. marin, sheriff, dot, o, r, g. i will respond to these inquiries, time permitting as i receive them. keep in mind at this time the coroner's division is

investigating active cases from other residents in this community. i will respond to your inquiries time permitting. that conclude the written statement at this time. i will open up to take a few questions, understanding this is an active investigation and there is some information that will be withheld until the final press conference in several weeks. >> the fact there was rigor mortis set in, does that give you more of an idea a timeline of when this incident may have taken place? >> rigor mortis is a sign that will be evaluated in conjunction with the liver mortis la individuality, to try to correlate time period that the death may have occurred. lividity. there is no perfect environment when you're talking about scientific studies and lividity -- melissa: that is the marin sheriff's office talking about the death of robin williams. adding tragic detail. he died with a belt around his neck. his assistant found him.

they found a knife at the scene. it appeared to he tried to slash his wrists as well. really gruesome details. so tragic, one of the tweets i saw really caught my attention, he brought so much joy to everyone else. he like he din save anymore himself. >> there were times he did have joy but he, really struggled so hard with these demons. appears he had a tortured ending which is awfully awful. any suicide is tortuous but this one particularly. i know the name of the show is "money." shows money and fame does not solve your problems. in fact sometimes, it intensifies them. melissa: yeah. >> it is not, anytime someone commits suicide it is a surprise but he was very open about his demons and actually made it part of his comedy routine. melissa: yeah. >> and made fun of it. and i think that helped him maybe sort of come to terms or, you know, ease the pain a little bit. melissa: yeah. >> sadly it didn't do enough. melissa: so often with great genius comes great anguish as

well. we saw him certainly suffer with that. >> his comedy, approach to everything he did and acting was so smart, particularly painful to think that he couldn't overcome that somehow with his intellectual power. melissa: oscar-winning actor and comedian, robin williams dead at the age of 63.

melissa: welcome back to "money." we may be working more but we're not earning anymore. now study that new jobs added since the recession pay an average of 23% than those lost in the downturn. david, jack and spencer are back with me. you could feel this. this is interesting to see it in print. david. >> this is why the economy, even though it does continue to recover, americans still feel that we're in a slump. all those polls say, you know the majority of americans think that we're still in a recession. melissa: right. >> to them, they can't buy what they want and need. melissa: if you lost your job and got one again, you're making maybe $50,000 before. now you're making less than 40. what impact does that have on everything else? >> i mean obvious thing is,

you're spending less. melissa: right. >> he have one else spending our income collectively. when people spend less, we make less. i worked at a magazine that shut down at the bottom of the recession and it took me a long time to get back to that salary. >> which one? i know it well. >> i lived this and i know everyone else has too. melissa: spencer? >> to that point, one of the interesting things about this recession is the high-wage jobs and middle class jobs have been hit the hardest. during recovery it is lower paying jobs have seen the biggest growth. melissa: right. >> that depressed sort of the recovery and you know there has been some exceptions, you know, in technical services and software and computers. melissa: speaking of that, that is great transition. the bots are back in new company filing. twitter admits, 23 million of its active users are actually, are not actually people. 8.5% of the total monthly active users are bots. so the jobs may not be back but

the robots are back. they're filling in for them on twitter. what does this tell but new economy and whole twitter sphere? >> twitter better redo the ad count, 8.5% of the people telling advertisers are respond are robots. robots don't respond to ads. melissa: they don't buy anything either. >> they don't buy anything. twitter has to account for that somewhere in its ad count. melissa: yeah. >> this is why this is really serious issue. good example i think facebook when it ipod. the value was $100 billion. it went down and back up. 2,000 employees for 100 billion-dollar company. 20 years ago, a 100 billion-dollar company had 200,000 employees. in new company you need fewer people. melissa: you need fewer people but actually people if you pitch to them. >> plus bots. >> software is eating the world as marc andreessen once said. what is interesting about twitter, this is not just a twitter problem. this is problem for entire

online advertising industry. some studies estimate 1/3 of web traffic is fake. melissa: a third? that is a lot. >> twitter stock is up. maybe one of the reasons it is up because twitter's bot perrage is below 10%, much lower than industry afterring. melissa: that is interesting point. hitter hitting below the belt. rival ride sharing company, lyft, people ordered and canceled more than 5,000 lyft requests since october this is accusation. shows you how cutthroat the industry has become. what do you think, jack. >> if it is true frankly is really stupid. uber ishundred pound gorilla. it is more vulnerable to anyone in this game. not saying i believe it. if so it is not a smart tactic. melissa: it may show how determined they are to win and to be that gorilla they are using guerrilla tactics.

>> forget apple and uber and lyft. uber has huge advantage. twice as big as lyft they could buy them and get rid of them quickly. melissa: i don't know anyone that used lyft. >> there is very simple solution. have a cancellation fee. that would stop these things from happening. if granted that might pull back some of -- >> consumers wouldn't like it. >> cancellation fee. he see it coming because, it will come and go these things. have it on both side. melissa: i don't think you can do it. wouldn't get any new users who haven't tried it. if you charge them cancel the first time you will not get anyone new. >> how else will they stop it? melissa: i don't know. thanks, guys. humanitarian aid never looked so suspicious. fear is growing of a russian invasion as trucks head to the ukrainian border. plus the curse of atlantic city. this hotel is closing its door after only two years. do you ever have too much money?

melissa: power struggle in iraq has nouri al-maliki refuses to step down from his position as prime minister. meanwhile the u.s. continues airstrikes on isis territories. secretary of state john kerry repeating there will be no u.s. combat troops on the ground. joining me former deputy assistant secretary of defense peter brookes and "washington times" monica crowley, also a fox news contributor. peter brookes, let me start with you. do you believe that, that there will be no combat troops on the ground? is that realistic? >> well, large numbers. i think that is what the obama administrations want. if there are airstrikes going on there are probably u.s. troops on the ground, special

operations forces because, melissa, these precision bombs require laser guidance and so there is probably somebody on the ground, special forces types, actually targeting those isis forces, that the bops are hitting. in large numbers i think that is what the obama administration wants but there are probably people on the ground already in the combat zone. >> that is what they want. monica, what do you think? will it require more manpower than that? >> depend how grave the situation continues to develop here and how resilient isis forces are. i agree with peter there are probably special-ops forces on the ground but politically president obama will never be in the position of introducing regular ground troops in this situation. not only are they trying to beat back the jihadi threat of this terrorist army of isis but they're also in the position because the president has couched it largely in humanitarian terps that this is now a humanitarian operation to try to save some of these religious minorities that are also threatened. and i don't think you can completely do that from the air.

melissa: meantime, you know the president is offering the new regime aid in return for creating a government that is more inclusive. do you think that is an effort that will be successful, peteer? >> well, it is hard to say. maliki could, the other day he was sending iraqi forces throughout baghdad, especially the green zone. i'm not sure he would go silently. politically it is tougher for the u.s. to provide aid. malaki undertake as military coup it would push into force u.s. law that would prevent us from providing assistance to them. it complicates things even more. the problem, how long is it going going to take for the government in baghdad to get their act together? the house is on fire. that is my real concern. melissa: meantime a russian humanitarian convoy has been dispatched to eastern ukraine. russia says the convoy is carrying food and water and other aid.

kiev says it will not allow vehicles to cross into its territory many have said u.n. and elsewhere, potentially a trojan horse. we're looking at trucks. we don't know what is this there. this could be beginning ever invasion. monica, what are in the trucks do you think. >> a lot of people talking about pro-russian forces in eastern ukraine as separatists or rebels. let's be clear what they are, melissa. they are putin's proxies. putin troops and activists on the ground agitating to justify exactly what we fear might happen here, whether it is, this convoy or more orchestrated action, which is russia actually taking over first eastern ukraine and maybe trying to take over the entire country. saw from the beginning with annexation of crimea. if you're vladmir putin, and you're sitting in the kremlin and have these ambitions and look across western europe and

across the pond to the united states and there is nobody and nothing there to stop you, then why not? melissa: show us those pictures again. peter as former deputy assistant secretary of defense, what do you make of trucks going in there? what do you think is this there? what would you say? >> i understand ukrainians, are these trucks filled with tons of beans or tons of bullets? they're closing in on the pro-rebel force, or the pro-russia rebels there. that insurgency movement may fold in the coming days. so what russia has to make some bold decisions here. whether they're trying to smoke in, bullets or special operations forces or whatever, the ukrainians will not allow it. but you still have 20 to 40,000 russian troops, hardened russian troops across the border that could certainly go into eastern ukraine if that pro-russia rebel movement folds at the hands of the ukrainian armed forces. melissa: thanks to both of you. appreciate your time. >> thank you. melissa: at your service. this robotic butler invading a california hotel.

you have to see what it does and how it could soon be knocking at your door. plus polaroid goes after goh pro. once iconic camera maker brand new bid to become relevant again. "piles of money" and pictures coming right up.

deirdre: wall street's favorite camera getting a little competition from an old standby. polaroid launching the camera that could be a major threat to go pro. president of capital management, also a fox business contributor thank you for joining us. we have always said go pro is a very cool, hip product everybody loves, no barrier to entry and apparently that is true.

>> there is barrier to entry in much of the technology, polarized to the combat went from zero to a billion dollars in revenues over a short period of time, and they will attempt to do it. gopro has the coolness factor, everybody i see has it at this point in time. i think it will be a tough road but i don't think it will just be polaroid. deirdre: don't you think people were interested in doing crazy stunts with the camera on them and post it on youtube? >> it is all about marketing. if they can remain the cool thing on your surfboard or your mountain bike or whatever it will stay there. the next step. pro is to turn it itself into a media company. how can you share this, put it on your television, get it on youtube or whatever. makmaking it easy and smooth, tt will be alike up on everyone.

deirdre: will there be a backlash against selfie? i was reading about a couple in portugal who fell backward off a cliff because they were taking a selfie of themselves with their kids and they were so concerned with getting the perfect picture, they died. it is crazy. >> don't forget kim kardashian is coming out with a selfie look, that should and the craze if you ask me. i didn't even know microsoft had a phone, doesn't even register right now. apple is probably going to go before them when they hear microsoft will do that. deirdre: "wall stree "wall stre" giving them a vote of confiden confidence. they made a lot of good points. they said israelis are using it when rockets are coming.

but there were talking about applications down road you could potentially use it to unlock your computer. a lot of interesting ideas in there. do you buy the hype? >> i don't. number snap chat wood and take $4 billion for a company. this might work out that would not bet on it. smart people are coming up with cool apps all the time. very few catch fire. >> i would say i am not ready to declare yo the next big thing, but in the valley it is interesting sometimes the things people make fun of the most tend to be the most valuable. same thing with facebook, a toy for college kids, fourth $200 billion now. twitter the same thing. three years later they have evolved and the government is being overthrown by twitter.

deirdre: they said the whole idea was so stupid nobody else was doing it. we will cease was so smart in the end. steve ballmer finally gets his chance with the big boys, plu plus -- >> a mix up with a little bit of mexican, so it is really cool, i would go here. deirdre: talk about going after the cool kids by woo them. at the end of the day, it is all about tacos.
