2:00 pm
shoes are here, bag is there, click, click, you buy it. dierdre: i find out where you got your socks. they're pretty groovy. scott, thanks for keeping me company. >> thank you. dierdre: melissa francis is here. "money" starts now. melissa: you bet it does! trying to take a hard-line. the president talks about ganging up on isis along with his nato allies. building a mystery and some unpresented hype. drones over cupertino, as apple ushers in a new era. yelp new ruling may have have the right to manipulate your words. of course the holidays have come early for retailers. how kmart left people fuming by running christmas ads already. nearly 16 weeks in advance. because even when they say it's not, it is always about money.
2:01 pm
melissa: got some breaking news we're watching right now. norad investigating what is being called an unresponsive aircraft. it has entered now cuban airspace. f-15 fighter jets had been following this tbm 700 over the atlantic before it broke towards cuba. the utility aircraft departed from raw chesser to new york to land in naples, florida. but did not respond to attempts to communicate. the fighter jets are international airspace monitoring the flight path. our very own top sullivan will join us with his take. we're keeping close eye on the situation. we'll keep you updated on it. president obama appears to have his coalition but timetable dealing with isis is very much in doubt. the president revealing a plan for immediate response if a nato member is attacked, but also stressed the need for slow and
2:02 pm
gradual strategy against isis. listen. >> in terms of timetable, we are working deliberately. it is not going to happen overnight but we are steadily moving in the right direction, and we're going to achieve our goal. we are going to degrade and ultimately defeat isil. melissa: meanwhile reports emerging that isis is using a man raised in boston to help with a social media campaign. with me our very own tracy byrnes. ken mahoney from mahoney asset management. james freeman from the "wall street journal." james, let me start with you. what do you think of what the president had to say? >> is difficult with his rhetoric, goes back and forth. melissa: a lot of back and forth. >> saying it is a manageable problem. i'm thinking, i hope he recognizes the opportunity right now to strike while isis is kind of out in the open and -- melissa: see, feels like exact opposite. feels like he is hiding behind nato as an excuse to not act.
2:03 pm
what do you think? >> the whole op-ed with james cameron was quite laughable i have thought. cam ran says we're not taking this. neither one had a plan. and the president almost felt obligated to say, no, we're not taking this. hiding behind the big kid in the playground. melissa: right. >> that is how i feel like we're being perceived right now and it is not good. melissa: ken, for a lot of folks, they are worried because the president is not worried. >> this is good opportunity for nato to get together. there is vacuum here. why does the u.s. have to come up with policy and put our men and women in harm's way when nato should deal with it. get together, have meetings. let's go at it. melissa: at the same time it is very interesting to drill down on the social media campaign twitter is launching. this is very effective on their part. 27,000 proactive isis twitter accounts. they're tracing a lot back to a 32-year-old who graduated from northeastern university in boston. grew up in stoten, which is
2:04 pm
pretty upscale community. his father is a endocrinologist and he went to at mass general. he is supposed to behind a very effective campaign they're launching, by the way, through american companies to recruit americans. james, you're a journalist, what do you think about this. >> this is disturbing. this is not someone you would think has nothing to lose. melissa: right. >> sort of a person with no education and options. melissa: upscale suburb. dad's a doctor. catholic school. >> remind you of the some of the 9/11 hijackers who didn't have to go that way, not that anyone has to go that way. this points out danger people from the west, the united states, the united kingdom especially, who are now there with isis and you want to strike them there because eventually, they're not just going to be running social media campaigns. they're coming back here to strike. melissa: turn to the august jobs report because it revealed a slowdown in the labor market. this is pretty disturbing. just 142,000 jobs added last
2:05 pm
month. the labor participation rate, always important. fell again. it is matching the lowest rate since march of 1978. this is the first time we broke the below 200,000. there was nothing good in this report, ken. >> no, there wasn't. let's hope it is aberration. one month doesn't send a trend. we've seen this more with the weird numbers. market is celebrating, janet yellen, rest of the fed, probably pushes rate hike down the road. goldilocks economy. melissa: backs what the fed said yesterday. came out with the report, that top 10% gotten 10% richer in the president been in office and bottom 40% falling further behind. the stock market assumes forward based on washington. income inequality gets worse, ironically under president supposed to be about the middle class. tracy, what do you think? >> everyone is taking a statistic class. i could pick a good number. melissa: you don't think the income divide is getting bigger? >> i absolutely do because these
2:06 pm
jobs number is quite interesting. when it is good and cheers, no one complains how they put the together. when they are bad, they complain how they were calculated. melissa: i i want to take a paue on the discussion. we're keeping an eye on an unresponsive plane. tom is on the phone, very experienced pilot. what we're watching going on here, i heard the range of this plane if it had full tank of gas is 1800 miles. no one is responding inside. i think they have gone about 1700. of the you're an experienced pilot. what happens from here? >> plane most likely will go into the sea very shortly. you're exactly right, this plane has a range of 18 hundred hundred. that if the tanks are full. we assume they are. this was a long flight anyway but as you said, the flight trackers showed they traveled 1700 miles. depend upon whether or not they have a tailwind. they may get a little more than 1800 out of it. at this point they're nearing that point i expect to see the
2:07 pm
plane to start losing altitude. right now they're flying 25,000 feet. melissa: what is your best guess what happened here? do you think the cabin depressurized? >> yes. they lost their oxygen, somewhere, and, you don't know whether it was catastrophic or whether it was something of a slow leak to where high pox sy yaw took over. with high pox sy yaw, you start to lose judgment, you don't make sense. you can't add up one plus one. and with that, it will truly put to you sleep. then you of course die. so, at this point it doesn't look good. it looks very ominous that this plane will start losing descent here fairly soon. melissa: tom sullivan the thank you for that. tough story. turning back to the u.s. postal service joining forces with amazon on yet another venture. this time they're delivering groceries for amazon's fresh service in san francisco. this is post office. they're having a tough time delivering junk mail. now they will make sure your fish doesn't rot before it gets to your table.
2:08 pm
>> one thing i will miss is the drones. i thought drones would send us. now we have the postal service. >> rather drone give you a loaf of bread or the post office. depends on the item if you're standing underneath. >> post office for a long time they will contract. instead of going six days a week, going five days a week. maybe they can go seven days a week and deliver every day alongside amazon. melissa: i got to correct you. they deliver on sunday. when i order amazon prime package, it is postman who walks up on sunday. they have been making some money with amazon. this partnership, i mean, maybe it brings the post office back to life. although do we have the video of that one postal employee who was caught dumping all, this is what makes me nervous about these guys delivering your groceries. this is mail carrier who was caught by someone just watching out their window. dumped your m. the check is in the mail no it is not. it is in the dumpster. grapes are on the way? no, they're not, they're in the dumpster. james, how do you feel about
2:09 pm
this. >> that is a little disturbing. amazon will demand a little better service than that. melissa: you think in. >> this is probably is something they can make money on. where they lose it is on the rural coverage, saturday delivery. want to get out of that. it raises questions when you have the government competing against private business. for one thing like unlike ups they don't pay any parking tickets. melissa: that's a great point. right. >> i think maybe you want -- melissa: that is huge efficiency. >> not such a costdy, like this one. federal appeals court handing yelp a huge win, ruling that the site can lower a company's rating if it doesn't buy advertising. this has been a huge fight within yelp. they say, competitors go on there, they write terrible things about the restaurant across the street because they want to drive them out of business. yelp comes back to them, well if you buy advertising we'll help you hide these bad reviews. and put the big ones up top. people have been complaining yelp is a fraud for so long.
2:10 pm
this confirms it. you're not outraged. i'm counting on you to be outraged. >> no, i'm not. melissa: why? >> there is no proof actually happening. there are a handful -- melissa: saying okay for them to manipulate rattenings if you're all you're rhee lying on is yell be shame on you. odds goods owners parents are -- melissa: yelp is stupid. i think that is the takeaway. >> i think yelp, although they're ostensibly winning this case this is disaster for them, it means they have no credibility at all. >> year ago. melissa: allowed to rig the whole system. >> years ago, put in search item. come up alphabetical and ratings and relevance and best ads. that is sign of the types. melissa: thanks to my panel. kmart is checking it twice and make sure you don't notice santa claus is already coming to down. how is that possible? plus hype is in the air as apple counts down to the big event next week.
2:12 pm
i wish... please, please, please, please, please. [ male announcer ] the wish we wish above all...is health. so we quit selling cigarettes in our cvs pharmacies. expanded minuteclinic, for walk-in medical care. and created programs that encourage people to take their medications regularly. introducing cvs health. a new purpose. a new promise... to help all those wishes come true. cvs health. because health is everything. we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax.
2:13 pm
2:14 pm
melissa: one stock that is supercharged today is taser which just got itself a big order from the new york police department. wow, i better thing twice before i go speeding through the park tonight. let's go to nicole petallides at new york stock exchange with more on this one. nicole, i will be watching my back now. >> you are right, better be careful. always obey the law which i'm sure you do. melissa: well, more or less. >> what is interesting about taser, we think of taser as stun guns much what you're talking about and note something actually wearable cameras. that why we're seeing the stock up nearly 4% today. 16% this week alone. that is a great, great performance for a stock. this is all on the news that the new york police department will, in a pilot program will begin wearing these wearable cameras. it is to benefit both the police and also whomever they are encountering, a civilian. they can be nicer when they pull somebody over. you were speeding. may have your license and registration. some people in the police
2:15 pm
department seem mixed on it, commissioner bill bratton is hot on it. the judge moving forward on this idea. great news for the stock. we'll continue to follow it. we'll make sure you're not on camera. melissa: i will go slower on way home, nicole. thank you very much. final countdown, apple shares holding on to slight gains but still under the $100 mark. they're up doctoring up hype for the -- drumming up hype. mystery surround white structure built next to the iconic location where steve jobs first unveiled the mac. here is jonathan hoenig from capitalist pig and scott martin from united advisors. bows fox news contributors. what do you think of this mysterious white structure, jonathan? what do you think? >> this illustrates the value of apple's brand or buildings or new products its brand, that becomes the news. people are interested in what apple is preparing because in
2:16 pm
this case the hype lived up to expectation. they're used to apple creating miracles or new product and that is why the hype is well-deserved. melissa: scott, apparently tim cook has a countdown clock. i picture him wearing it around his neck like flava and a half and ticking down when they release the new product. what do you think? >> probably on his skin somewhere. jonathan is right. this speaks to the coolness of tech. google had floating barges this big mystery last summer and everybody created buzz about it. stock went up. same thing will happen to apple. shows how attractive and neat this company is. melissa: unless what they reveal is silly and bunch of a hype about nothing. that is the danger they're courting. we'll see. on the other hand they say icloud isn't broken but apple will go ahead and tinker with a few things anyway. the company will add new security updates to the storage service in light of that recent celebrity photo hack. basically it is not our fault. there is nothing wrong. we'll fiddle with it anyway.
2:17 pm
what do you think about this one, scott martin? i think it is admission of guilt. i don't know about that. i think they needed security updates certainly. funny thing about some these fixings remember sop of the way is it enough gets hacked, it gets hacked while you're sleeping. if you get notification you won't know because you're in bad. i don't blame icloud. a lot of celebrities did, kirsten dunst, one of my boyhood crushes said it stinks. melissa: jonathan hoenig, makes me wonder did you take the naked pictures from the icloud down yet. >> they're on my twitter feed for all to see. whether twitter or apple or other people have to fight for customers every single day. despite the hacking, apple from my perspective has been responsive because people are trusting brand. they're trusting -- melissa: addicted to it. >> not a hiccup. melissa: not enough to break the
2:18 pm
addiction for now at least. thanks, gentlemen. not only will fox business be live from apple's event next week, "risk & reward," the fabulous program that precedes us all tech all the time. catch dierdre bolton at 1:00 p.m. eastern, 10:00 a.m. pacific for your daily apple fix. paying the price. former virginia governor bob mcdonnell and his wife face decades for jail but it could have been voted for voting for a richer politician in the first place? very provocative question. think about it. then he would not be stealing money. financial troubles are well-documented. don't miss the debate. watch out for this. not the kind of thing you want to stumble across in the middle of the night. watch this. watch this. ah! what is that? do you ever have too much money ?!.
2:20 pm
for that moment, where right place meets right time. and when i find it- i go for it.

2:22 pm
melissa: we've got some break news that we are watching right now. norad investigating what is being called an unresponsive aircraft that has entered cuban airspace. f-15 fighter jets had been following the sokada tbm 700 before it departed. it departed from rochester, new york, with a flight plan had it enroute to naples. it did not respond to attempts to communicate. chris harmer joins me on the phone. kiss, with all your experience, what is happening here? >> overwhelming probability is that they suffered decompression accounted with reports. windows are frosted over. engine is working and south cuba in jamaican airspace.
2:23 pm
clearly the engine is still turning but most likely explanation for that is a rupture in the pressure hull and so at that altitude, pilot will lose consciousness pretty quickly. melissa: we're so close to 9/11, feels like there is heightened anxiety around anything like this, especially when it comes to airplanes, don't you think? >> there is always pre-9/11 i used to fly around the continental united states all the time, norad really had nothing to do with it. it was essentially a fully air traffic control, federal aviation administration operation except in military operating areas. after 9/11, norad has significant oversight capability, responsiblity, works closely with faa. anytime with a aircraft that does not respond to faa directions or falls off of its assigned airway, norad is getting involved pretty quickly. in this case we've got two f-15s scrambled to see what the aircraft was up to. melissa: with 9/11 next week,
2:24 pm
everyone is on edge. chris, thank you so much for your insight. we appreciate it. former virginia governor bob mcdonnell, and wife maureen, found guilty of essentially selling their office for thousands and thousands of loans and gifts. they were already in financial straits when they entered office. that doesn't excuse anything they did but some sense may explain some of the actions they took. despite politicians recent efforts to downplay wealth, we're asking a provocative question, would we be better off with wealthy politician in office? byron york, "washington examiner". mary catherine ham, hotair.com and fox news contributors. you of course recognize charlie gasparino from the fox business network. we appreciate you joining us. politicians, you think of mitt romney, think of kennedyy, a darrell issa has been beaten up. richard blumenthal, jay rockefeller, beaten up for coming to office with mountains
2:25 pm
and mountains of money. on the other hand they're not susceptible to taking money or bribes or beiig influenced because they need it and they're in dire financial straits. would we be better off with wealthy politicians? byron what do you think. >> i don't think so. i don't think this was the problem at all with bob mcdonnell. the problem with bob mcdonnell by the way, who made $175,000 a year as governor, one of the highest paid governors, in the country, he and his wife bought a bunch of beach property they could not afford. they were in credit card debt up to their eyeballs and generally lived way beyond their means and engaged in the corrupt practices to get money the whole time. just a bunch of terrible, terrible decisions. we should have public servants who make $175,000, which is more than three types the house, median household income in this country and serve the public. melissa: i mean, you look at folks who go to washington poor. then they come out and they use that access to influence. they sell it. you think of the clintons.
2:26 pm
didn't have a lot of money. sold a lot of access. rally open yourself up to all kind of things that -- go ahead, charlie. >> i don't think that is the problem. i think the problem, we. a, have career -- this actually happened to dozens of people i covered as a reporter over the years from the former connecticut governor to joe bruno, who was i guess since been exonerated but he had issues. this happens all the time. why do we have this? career politicians that want to live like they're contributors or some of people on wall street or k street. melissa: right. >> we also have the fact that there are politicians who create the template that it works. i remember rudy giuliani, was in the right sector. he was a u.s. attorney. went into the private sector. made some money. then became new york city mayor. then he left. he made some money. then he ran for congress. there is a way, one thing to be talking about the eliot spitzer of the world who were given money by their fathers. another thing to have entrepreneurs and people who make money go into private
2:27 pm
practice. go into public office. meliss >> i'm not sure that buy being rich already makes you less susceptible. i think if you have a problem, a moral problem going into office you may just keep it even if you're rich and you may be likely to be, to be corrupted in these ways. and the makeover mcdonnell es, both sad and seed city to watch their marriage fall apart, watch this fall apart. if they had listened to dave ramsey, taken $157,000 a year and free room and board and put money on debts kept moving, he had largely successful governorship. had plenty of opportunities coming out of office. i think that was a personal failing. melissa: go ahead, charlie. >> we do have career politicians and media that attacks people's success. carly fee, successful business person, attacked. meg whitman, successful business person attacked. melissa: right. >> these are not people born on
2:28 pm
third base thought they hit a triple. they were successful business people. they make good politicians. i want a politician knows how to run a business. mike bloomberg did a pretty good job. melissa: byron, gives us your thoughts. >> there is nothing wrong with politicians cashing in after years and years of public service. if bob mcdonnell waited four years he could have done that himself. >> that's true. melissa: nothing wrong with that? when they come back out and sell the access? i can go back and lobby my buddies, put me on the board of company? there is nothing wrong with that? i think there is a lot wrong with that! >> there is deeper problem when the government becomes so powerful and you sell the access to cash in. >> remember who bob mcdonnell rubbed shoulders with. rich crib contributors. melissa: starting with his wife needing oscar de la renta address. -- dress. great discussion. the jobs report tell us the unemployment rate going down but are we feeling recovery on main
2:29 pm
street? we've got your thoughts on the job market coming up. plus, she was just another 22-year-old living at home. we all know them. now she is an elected official. boomerang kids take heart. this story is for you. "piles of money" coming up. we've never sold a house before. (agent) i'll walk you gu through every step. there are a lot of buyers for a house like yours. (husband) that's good to know.
2:31 pm
crestor lod bad cholesterol in it's a fact. high-risk patients more than lipitor. bad cholesterol... you're going down! yeah! lowering cholesterol is a big deal, especially if you have high cholesterol plus any of these risk factors, because you could be at increased risk for plaque buildup in your arteries over time. so, when diet and exercise aren't enoh to lower cholesterol, adding crestor can help. i'm down with crestor! crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pgnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain
2:32 pm
or weakness, feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signsf rare but serious side effects. are you down with crestor!? ask your doctor if crestor could help you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. >> a quick check on the market. relatively large miss with the jobs number. about 86,000. this is not entirely dead. again, you see the same story you have seen all year long. just as they have the geopolitical turmoil.
2:33 pm
a lot of the traders i speak with team to leave. a further sign that it is further up. not quite good enough. >> you are absolutely right. our main street americans are really feeling it. >> i do not think that anything is better in this country. >> we are doing better than we have been doing. >> things are doing better in the corporate world, i think you could say. if anything, these things are harder. >> it is far better than 2008. the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
2:34 pm
they said corporations are doing well. the rich are getting richer. everyone else is just kind of floating around. >> the water level is not very high. for those of us with jobs, things are pretty good. for most americans, they are stuck with and stagnant wages and dead and jobs. >> i think that peter has it exactly right. poor wage and income growth. it was the fact that we saw average returning. that basically means that we are continuing. it is not a lot of relief for the average person. >> it is not a lot of relief here i do not want to depress
2:35 pm
anyone. i do not see anythhng on the horizon that will spark the economy again. it feels like we are stuck in the mud. hear me out. >> until this morning's employment report, i think you could start to get optimistic. our big trading partner, that report was terrible. leaving the labor market. we were back to 1970 levels. >> the irony is the policies out of washington have only made the income gap worse. it has not fueled the economy. the wealthy folks that have that money, though 1% are doing even better. >> the president wanted to change america and change it
2:36 pm
components. we have a strong safety net and a risk-free economy. american companies are investing, but they are not investing in america. they are investing in asia. america wanted that europe's stock. dave .it. europe has had an economy like this for 40 years. >> doug, do you agree with that characterization? the wealth they had was destroyed when the housing bubble burst.
2:37 pm
>> i am officially depressed. that is it. you guys are dismissed. the tragic news of joan rivers death. new investigations into the outpatient clinic. could saving a few bucks cost you your life. new heights over in san francisco. the latest incident trend that is driving californians crazy. at the end of the day, it is all about "money." ♪
2:39 pm
♪ >> i am melissa francis with your fox business brief. locals in the gulf of mexico say they pay as much as $18 billion. it is a heck of a lot more than the money bp has been expect bank. they say the company has acted with roast negligence. he will be the first ever state to do so. governor gerri brown says he has every intention to sign the bill into law. i bet he does. it will take effect next year. new orleans is allowing luxury
2:40 pm
2:41 pm
2:42 pm
i want to bring in now a friend of money and who is also a longtime pilot. was there any other way for this to end? >> no. it is a terrible tragedy. it happens more often than we think. the plane was quickly depressurized. all the oxygen gets sucked out of the plane quickly. at that point, it is just the autopilot flying. it really comes down to numbers. fifty not a cold miles of range. that is about how far it traveled. unfortunately, this is a sad ending to something that started off scary. >> how does something like this happen? >> there are numerous fact there is.
2:43 pm
high-quality, high-performance aircraft. you can get back to maintenance issues. you can get back to a gunshot at a plane, as crazy as that sounds. a lot of time it is maintenance or a failed part. it is typically what we see. generally, it does not sound like a initially, pilot error. again, just what it sounds like. >> 1800 miles, if it had a full tank of gas. we knew just a short time ago that it had traveled 1700 miles. they had been trying to have contact with them. it seemed inevitable that what was going to happen was the plane would eventually run out of gas. the plane has crashed on the island of jamaica.
2:44 pm
now, i guess, many have said it would happen over the sea. what direction? all right. thank you so much. we appreciate it did let's check in with liz claman. >> if we get any more on that story, we will get it to our viewers. we are looking, of course, at the markets. you are talking about five weeks of gains. not a bad move here. what does that mean when you mix them with the recipe. we have a superstar panel of people that will give you solutions and ideas on exactly what you should be doing with your money. greg mcbride has the most interesting piece of data that may make you feel a little bit better or worse. it is never too late.

2:46 pm
doctor marc siegel joins me now. i was reading earlier today, almost half of all procedures are on an outpatient basis. these things you may catch while you are there. it is dangerous. >> it is up 300%. getting back to your question. why is it actually occurring? it is a better moneymaker. when you are talking about an 81-year-old woman, i would pause before going there. what are the underlying medical conditions. what are the risk they go up. >> it seems from just reading the background, if you are under
2:47 pm
anesthesia and you happen to go under arrest, it seems like they do not have the equipment to revive you. it is terrifying. >> even if they did have the equipment. this was in the middle. most likely it is and anesthetic issue. >> this particular facility does use it. if it is done by the right hands, the right anesthesiologist the right way, the complications are extremely low. they say, it use less of it. monitory it more closely. we do not know who did it and whether it was an issue. >> oh, we will do it at an
2:48 pm
outpatient basis. what would you say? >> i would not say refuse. how old are you. what is your medical condition? what is your history. also, meet the anesthesiologist, not just the person doing the procedure. we save a lot of lives doing this. i want them to be more careful. >> student to state house member. making serious waves in florida politics. you can never have too much "money" or too many boats. ♪ [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] [ inhales ] [ male announcer ] at cvs health, we took a deep breath...
