2:15 pm
the campaigners have no choice but to step up the protest movement because they can not exist on their current wages. listen here. >> if you're a low-wage worker, power that you have is standing together with other low wage workers even if you have to contribute money for them to have a fight because ultimately that is the way that working-class people in country will bring this country back and get back on track. >> now there have been other protests right across the country. up to 100 according to the protest organizers. the restaurants meantime say they simply wan can not consider $15 minimum wage would eat too much into the profits. mcdonald's said in a statement, quote, any minimum wage increase should be implemented over time so impact on owners of small and medium-sized businesses like ones who own and operate majority of our restaurants is manageable. additionally we believe any increase needs to be considered in a broad context, one that
2:16 pm
considers for example, the impact of the affordable care act. so well-worn arguments we're hering from both sides, melissa but the protesters believe they have momentum on their side. back to you. melissa: wow, jonathan, thank you so much. let's turn to our panel for reaction. charlie gasparino and tom sullivan are back with us along with gary kaltbaum, president of kaltbaum capital management. gary, i will start with you. i feel sorry for these people the president fires them up and never mentions his own economists within the government have told him by raising minimum wage it could cost as many as a million jobs right out of the gate. what do you think? >> well we already have that evidence. in 2009, the minimum wage was raised 11% and 600,000 teen jobs were lost over the next year. look, i think the biggest problem here is a lot of these people think this money comes out of thin air. it doesn't, it comes out of business owners and comes out of risk-takers. i have news, when you take money
2:17 pm
away from people running these business and tell them what to do with it. they will react. lees jobs all the way around. >> think about it this was just ge we were talking about, megacompanies. it wouldn't be so bad. ge can afford to pay their workers a little more. what we're talking about mainly small business. what these folks should realize, for all the regulations that president obama and all taxes heaped on u.s. companies here, guess what they do? they take those low skilled jobs, they move them overseas where they don't worry about the minimum wage. melissa: mcdonald 85% are franchise owners who can't afford to raise the minimum wage. i don't think these people have seen hamburger making robot. do we have the hamburger making robot. that where we're headed if you get to point where costs are too much. what do you think? >> two things. one is -- melissa: there it is. >> you feel sorry for them. you are not alone. polls show majority of people give an increase in minimum wage. we're talking about a small fraction of, small, tiny fraction of the workforce.
2:18 pm
it won't make an economic blip. but, to your point, they are going to price themselves out of the market. i know of a restaurant out of jfk airport that is all robots except, key of courses exempt for one person there to kind of manage the thing. one. that is all it takes. melissa: only one person. i know what place you're talking about. more and more. order on independednt pad at counter and food is premade. one person there kind of directing it. >> yep. melissa: we've got to go. >> don't forget -- melissa: thanks, gathergary. secret to eternal truth is far, far away from your office chair. ex-pers are saying standing up ail day will keep you looking younger for longer. hmmm. i might listen to that one. plus all dried up with nothing to grow. we're heading back to california where farmers are spending millions to keep their businesses alive. more money coming up. ♪ you're driving along,

2:25 pm
dna under microscope. scientists define aging in different ways. we think aging as cell, basically duplicating dna and splitting its dn and forming two sells. more that happens, faster you're aging. people standing longer that process was slowed down. they are looking at every time the that the cell splits a little bit of dna, a little bit of code at very end, they're lost. so you keep that process slowed down and hold hold on to it, its down aging process. melissa: if i stand at my desk can quit exercising? that is what i want to know. >> i wouldn't necessaaily say say that and go that far. melissa: for get. dr. devi, thank you very much. >> nice to see you. melissa: apple has not formally announced iphone 6. that doesn't stop people from lining up to wait for shineey new apple product. just what your grandma wants a tablet catering to the gold

melissa: we want to check los angeles. fast-food workers striking in the streets, similar protests across the country from new york to kansas city. one of the biggest fast-food protests events ever. this one obviously big ears and the other ones we have seen around the country. no one told these folks about robots that make hamburgers or about the president's and economists who say somewhere between 1 and 1 million people will lose their jobs if the minimum wage goes up. all right. whether it is on wall street or mainstream here is who is making money today. anyone with the name leonardo dicaprio or robert deniro, $13 million for two days work. that was for a new mega casino called studio city. the gambling exact behind it, martin scorsese to direct the ad which apparently is a short film. brad pitt took a break from his mediterranean honeymoon with angelina jolie to film the part.

2:54 pm
