2:00 pm
we get the best look yet at the new iphone 6. wait until you hear the one thing fans want bench they upgrade. all obama alumni ditching washington for silicon valley. one top advisor heading to uber. we'll tell you who the next domino is to fall. first let's get the minutes and peters barnes. >> hey, melissa, minutes from the july fed meeting show some fed members seeing enough progress in the economy to start raising interest rates perhaps sooner than expected. quote from the minutes, some participants viewed actual and expected progress toward the committee's goals as sufficient to call for a relatively prompt move toward reducing policy accommodation to avoid overshooting the committee's unemployment and inflation objectives over the medium term. the minutes also said that many participants noted if employment and inflation moved closer to the fed's objectives, it might be appropriate to raise interest
2:01 pm
rates sooner, but the minutes say, most participants, and this is important, indicated that raising rates would depend on further information on the economy. so, once again, show me the data for most fed members. the expectation is the fed will start to raise short-term interest rates sometime the middle of next year. finally the minutes said, that the fed expects continued, a continued moderate economic expansion with stronger growth in the second half, but they're watching some things out there. quote, some pointed to possible sources of downside risk including persistent weakness in the housing sector, continued slow rise in household income, or spillovers from developments in the middle east and ukraine. melissa? dierdre: peter barnes, a lot of news in there. let's get right to it. we have the all-star panel with us. james freeman from the "wall street journal." veronica daguerre, charlie gasparino, our
2:02 pm
own fox business correspondent. what do you think? >> we see encouraging things in terms of more bank lending to businesses, commercial loans are up. we talked about how there is a lot of money in the system. that money is being lent out to business. we'd like to see more to small business, but no reason years and years after the crisis they shouldn't start to raise now. melissa: what is the reaction if you say the fed will raise rates sooner than expected? what do you think will happen? >> i think we see pressure on the market for sure. there is still a big question surrounding jobs. melissa: right. >> yellen will address that on friday at jackson hole. speaking to that and people will want answers. are we seeing job growth we want to see? if so, what will be the future. melissa: she definitely wanted to jobs. >> for good reason. melissa: go ahead, charlie. >> i will say this. you can see it right in the market. stock traders smell this stuff out. this is status quo. nothing major is happening here. they will not raise rates
2:03 pm
anytime soon. here is what i worry about, open warfare on the federal reserve board. i could see the doves versus more conservative members going at it. the conservative members are sitting there we need to raise rates sooner rather than later. doves like yellen are setting up not to. we're entering two election years, 2014 and 2016. every seven years you get a economic downturn. melissa: have we had a upturn? doesn't feel like we had a upturn. >> that is the crummy, almost said something else, growth. melissa: cable. >> i'm trying to be good you know. melissa: okay. >> but usually these upturns, modest and lousy as it is last seven years. almost over. melissa: look at that chart. the dow is losing steam. one of the things peter barnes was highlighting they will raise sooner rather than later. maybe the market is digesting that as we watch the chart. >> maybe. melissa: hertz hitting more than a speed bump. shares plunging after the rental
2:04 pm
car company pulled its full-year forecast. this is really interesting. talking about a record level of recalls. cars pulled out of fleet because of recalls and impact it had because they don't have the ability to send them out and rent them. do they have recourse? could they sue gm because earnings are being hurt because they don't have cars out there? >> good luck with that. if you're not seeing similar issue at all the other companies in the market -- melissa: maybe we haven't heard about it yet. >> that is the other part. they're saying we're still auditing. we can't release results yet so makes somewhat difficult to evaluate. melissa: charlie, what do you think? >> i don't know why they can't sue them. class action lawsuits happen all the time. now that i know mel weiss all the game, great litigator put all those transactions and put in jail out of the game. a lot of people are taking his place. i don't understand why this doesn't set stage for even bigger class action. melissa: veronica? >> they have a lot of problems to deal with. accounting and finance issues. they have to add staff which i
2:05 pm
think they are going to do. of pressures from recall and lack of equipment sales, equipment rentals when it comes to -- >> why can't hertz be, why can't helps be part of a class action? i mean sound like that is the stage. melissa: a lot of is question of math. also a question of math the billion dollar projection error at walgreen's. costing jobs of two top executives and alarming big investors according to "the wall street journal" they were off by $1.1 billion. the cfo is oops, our forecast was wrong. they're blaming, kind of blaming medicare part-d plans and reimbursements coming in where they thought. what do you think about this? you don't buy it? >> it is hard to buy it because we're talking about hertz comparing to others in the industry. we're talking about walgreens, cvs said no problem. we knew generic prices coming out. melissa: yeah. you think they failed ap math at walgreen's and need to work at on accounting?
2:06 pm
>> a lot of questions at that company when you consider, at the same time we're not doing the inversion, which made obvious economic sense. >> real thing is this, is this a worldcom situation where guys made up the books for a number of quarters? remember worldcom in 2002 or 2003 or is this legitimate mistake? by the way companies make legitimate mistakes all the time. bank of america -- melissa: they were off by 1.1 billion. >> how much was bank of america off on capital projections? remember the recent controversy because they failed the stress test and didn't give right numbers to the fed? this happens when you have massive government regulations, people screw up. i'm not saying the guy shouldn't be fired, but -- melissa: big mess. >> big mess and i think medicare is probably difficult to projection he especially costs of drugs keep changing. this is hard for these guys to projects costs, i can't imagine how difficult for small

pharmacist and small business owner to projects costs. their margins must be getting squeezed. melissa: deja vu all over again. airlines on high alert as iceland's largest volcano threatening to erupt that this may be fear of 2010 ash crisis which shut down european airspace for days and cost airlines estimated $1.7 billion. you remember that? you could see it from space. it disrupted airspace all over europe and is back again. unbelievable. >> 10 million travelers were affected. this is not what europe needs right now. their economy does not need sort of upset like this to hurt air travel. melissa: charlie, you look worried? are you worried about the volcano in iceland. >>i was actually worried about the my next story. melissa: let's move right on to that. you have very unsettling news. this is the real story of day. >> breaking news. here is what the fox business network learned based on our

contributors. we recognize charlie gasparino. we didn't let him go after the bedbug segment. >> for some reason i'm itchy. melissa: scott martin, what do you think about the estimate, 10 million iphone 6? that is pretty amazing. >> it is insane. and i think insanity, melissa is really what you're seeing in the stock price here too. i would caution you at home, this stock price, is priced for perfection as they call it. the only worry i have it falls short. remember, apple is going with still, this high-end, high-priced phone while other competitors are going for cheaper phones. the iphone 6 is going to be a bigger model. i tend to like smaller phones. i think size does matter and small is better here. i would worry the price of the stock reflects things to be absolutely perfect. we owned tech and apple. but i wouldn't buy it here. melissa: jonathan, 45% of people surveyed the scratch resistant screen is top component they want. is that most important to you as well? >> apple just doesn't create
2:16 pm
phones, melissa, they created a religion. this product has built-in market of millions and millions of people. the fact that the stock is at an all-time high i think reflects accurate estimation of the prospects for iphone 6. the secret of trading i think buy the rumor, sell the fact. once the product cops out, that is who you want to sell the stock, not before. melissa: charlie gasparino. >> i can't believe the size does matter and small is better got by you. melissa: come on, keep it clean. >> i thought, you know, listen this is big test for tim cook i think. you know, listen, jobs is hard act to follow. this is one of those tests he is going through. he is winning this one. he does have doubters on the board. this thing sells and meets expectations it will be one more sort of feather in his cap to keep him in there for a while longer because there are questions on the board. but i think this, if this hits expectations -- melissa: yeah. >> you can't argue with success. melissa: there you go.
2:17 pm
much one of my favorite stories of the day. atlantic city can't catch a break. revel casino is finding new ways to lose cash ahead of its closing next month. a armored car driver left 20,000 bucks on the roof of the truck as he drove away. shockingly, the money is now missing. so it is like, you know when you leave your coffee on top of the car drive off, leave your purse on top of the car to drive off. i personally haven't done that. i hear people do that. would you leave $20,000 on top of a car and not notice? what do you think, jonathan hoenig? >> it is less shocking to me that they lost 20,000, that the governor lost 200 million in tax incentives in all this atlantic city casino. that is real tragedy. 20,000 is nothing. melissa: i can't believe you will take a serious bent. >> by saying, one of the problems with the new jersey economy is atlantic city. atlantic city is a mess. it is poor. casinos are not well. melissa: okay. >> here's the thing, sometimes

2:19 pm
melissa: jonathan, do you think people in the midwest wonder why their grocery business is michael bloomberg's brings if. >> certainly not their grocery business, to charlie's point, marketplace of ideas. if bloomberg or anyone else as private citizen wants to make ideas they should. the difference charlie pointed out, when bloomberg is mayor, he is force, to impose his ideas because he is master in chief is inappropriate. speech is good. force is not. >> absolutely. melissa: thanks, guys. we are still keeping eyes firmly on the ebola outbreak. fears resurfaced here in the united states as it was revealed a patient is being tested for it in california. reports suggest that the patient came in close contact with a deadly virus although no other details have been released. there have now been 70 reports of suspected infections across nearly 30 states. the ebola death toll worldwide now is well over 1200. wow. one head of a state already
