2:01 pm
melissa: president obama spoke at the united nations summit with a stern warning to terrorists. >> there can be no reasoning, no negotiation with this brand of evil. the only language understood by killers like this is the language of force much. melissa: shortly after the president spoke, new reports say an isis linked group killed a hostage in retaliation for france's participation in the strikes. the president says this campaign could take years. and it could ring our entire defense budget dry. we have charlie gasparino. james freeman from the "wall street journal." rob basso, founder of advantage payroll services. thanks for all of you three joining us. the show is called "money." i want to talk about that. some defense experts say this could cost 15 to $20 billion alone. what do you think, james?
2:02 pm
>> i think it will cost a lot more. the president will find over time if you want to destroy isis you have to probably put boots on the ground which i know he doesn't want to do. >> unfortunately we're in a war on terror. it is an extended war. melissa: and expensive. >> no matter how many euphemisms the president wants to use, this is war. world war ii cost a lot of money. we borrowed for that. but it was worth it. any sane person knows to get rid of global terrorism or keep it under control. there is a point you will not change the world overnight but you may never change it but we have to protect ourselves. this is money well-spent. melissa: go ahead, rob. >> we're spending $7.5 million a day. we need logistical support. we need financial sport and we don't get buy-from other nations, cameron says i will arm the kurds. he hasn't jumped in like i want him to say so. >> this is shows is about money.
2:03 pm
this is how horrible the obama economy is puts us in a bind. we should not be talking about money. this economy should be growing faster. we should have money to pay for this. president obama is attacking businesses and threatening to raids taxes like ridiculous corporate tax inversion stuff which prevents companies from overseas. you guys had a great editorial. it prevents them from repatriating money here. melissa: one of the only economies in the world that does that. >> if we had a decent economy, money would not be an issue now. melissa: the second largest ipo of the year. citizens financial shares gaining steam after debuting on new york stock exchange. it is no alibaba but still another enormous ipo. feels very much like a top to me. >> i will say this. katy roof from fox business people should go look at the story, wrote about how ridiculous it is for investors, most investors to go in to try to buy these things particularly when they start trading.
2:04 pm
melissa: they're still doing it. >> it is stupid because you either lose money or don't gain as much money as you do keeping it in a s&p 500 fund. most average investors, nearly 90% don't get the ipo price. they get it in secondary market where it starts trading. that is where you're considered dumb money. if you bottom alibaba first day at 92 or 100 you're not making money you. >> said this off the bat. it is not alibaba. they're breaking away from rbs with a $70 billion bailout. market is not overly excited. even though large ipo i'm a founder in a bank. we have 10 branches. we struggled through the recession to keep barely profitable. people are not excited. do we need another big bank? >> if you're wondering why is it not, why did it not get the price they wanted, why is it traded below value, i would say it's a judgment on the future of the u.s. economy. people are not that optimistic.
2:05 pm
melissa: back off my big gulp. pepsico and coca-cola are vowing to cut number of calories americans drink each year by promoting smaller sizes and pushing healthier options. unfortunately for their little initiative soda sales are already slumping. they say say they will help americans by selling smaller cans? they will not charge that much less for it. they're recognizing a trend going on around them. >> wasn't mike bloomberg behind some of this? melissa: i have no doubt. what do you think? >> i hope they don't destroy soda the way they devoid soup. took all salt out of it. we learned that salt wasn't really all that bad for you. if this is basically doing consumers want, then and it is pr, great. but i don't like this war on flavor. melissa: look, we don't have soda in my house. my kids do not drink soda. i never introduced it to them. they drink water. this idea of caloric beverages i think is really out of fashion. >> on the other hand when you look at people on lower socioeconomic scale, they get 30% of calories potentially from
2:06 pm
sugary foods. melissa: but soda and beverages? >> beverages. they get a huge amount of beverages. melissa: why are sales slipping so much? if people are buying them why are sales slumping. >> there are quote-unquote healthier alternatives now, right. melissa: i think that is what people are drinking and responding to that. we're owning the trend that already exists. >> when i was a kid, best thing sunday dinner was spaghetti meatballs and coca-cola, right? to me it was like it was heaven. i don't touch the stuff now. melissa: i don't think myself-year-old ever tried soda. >> these companies are not being altruistic. looking at stock prices. this is where market is going. this is the trend. we'll just follow it. they're not leading any charge. >> they're not leading any charge, that's the point. sir richard branson thinks you earned a vacation. the virgin group founder lets employees take as much vacation they want. >> we have to get the guy in here. melissa: no questions asked. of as much as vacation you want.
2:07 pm
right. this is insane to me. as much vacation as you want? i mean this is like the companies that give away free soda or free food. you have to put a limit like there is value. there is monetary value on vacation, can't take as much as you want. >> has to be a catch here. melissa: i don't think there is. i have a friend whose company done the same thing. they apparently experienced a marked upward spike in everything. morale, creativity, productivity have all gone through the roof. no way that is true. no way that is true. >> only 1% of the companies worldwide are actually doing this maybe if you're a big huge company like branson holdings you can afford to do this. but every middle american company -- melissa: you will have that buy who never shows up for work. we know who it is in our office. we all know who it is. you know. one guy that doesn't show up. >> no longer pretext to fire that person. melissa: right. >> if you're going to do this, what you have to have is very rigorous set of targets the person has to meet. maybe that is good for everyone. >> i've seen places, when i
2:08 pm
worked at "wall street journal" for example, none of us actually really took vacations. melissa: no, that is part of the point. people don't use their vacation time as it is. there is that. but the idea you will give it unlimited you will have the one joker you're forced to pay who never shows up for work. >> fire him. melissa: not if you have unlimited vacations. >> if he is lousy employee you can still fire him you. >> can't fire him because he is taking off. melissa: how would you know if he is lousy employee? he will never show up again. >> give him some credit. we make some better employees. if they're not, he can fire them. melissa: all right. poor california lost tesla's $5 billion gigafactory to nevada. it is not giving up without a fight. the state's congress wrote a letter to elon musk, begging him to build another factory in california. fat chance. >> california is trying to prove that they're dumber than nevada. the amount of -- melissa: what was dumb about nevada did. >> nevada gave tesla 1.3 billion in tax breaks on theory, on
2:09 pm
theory -- melissa: i will stop you right there. >> that tesla would double size of nevada's economy. melissa: i will stop you right there. they gave him tax breaks. stealing less of tesla shareholder's hard-earned money. they're not giving them anything. they're taxing them at lower rate which is what all governments should be doing anyway. >> okay. no, no, no. melissa: no. >> this is the obama program. we'll find companies who should not pay tax. melissa: all taxable all at lower rate. they're stealing less of elon's money. should be stealing less of everyone's money. charlie, you disagree with me? >> no. this targeted tax cut nonsense is ridiculous. >> terrible. melissa: give everybody a tax cut. >> that is another state. california is not listening. they're listening to president obama where they pick winners and losers. i would love to see elon musk be really pushed what his stock price might be if he didn't get any subsidies? what would his stock price be? we're fighting over --
2:10 pm
>> we're fighting over 6500 jobs. that is what they're fighting over of the fact it might be targeted benefit you know -- melissa: got to go. another round of strikes. how hitting targets in syria is driving people toward the assad regime and could be increasing the threat of lone wolf attacks. plus the costliest city in the world? how you will need money to burn and live and work in this city. can you guess who got the number one spot this year? gigantic "piles of money" coming up. ♪ patented sonic technology

tomorrow is full of promise. we can come back tomorrrow. and we promise to keep it that way. driven to preserve the environment, csx moves a ton of freight nearly 450 miles on one gallon of fuel. what a day. can't wait til tomorrow. you can't get any thbetter than that. trains. siemens trains are not your grandparent's technology. they're something that's gonna change the cities we live in today. i find it so fascinating how many people ride this and go to work every single day. i'm one of the lucky guys. i get to play with trains. people say, "wow, we still build that in the united states?" and we say, "yeah, we do!" whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts
2:13 pm
that's when expertise happens. mfs. because there is no expertise without collaboration. melissa: dangerous game of revenge playing out in the middle east today. in realtation for france's involvement in airstrikes in syria a isis-linked group killed a french hostage. the news comes as another round of airstrikes pounds areas of syria and iraq today. we move forward in our attack against terrorists. aren't we paving the way for the assad regime to regain its strong hold? retired four-star general jack keane joins us. thanks for joining us today. >> glad to be here. melissa: we mentioned a lot of
2:14 pm
questions in that introduction. let's start with the idea what do you think of the approach so far, of our strategy? >> well, i think the stated strategy is fine, which is to defeat and destroy isis and we have to do that in iraq and in syria to accomplish that. we need a very strong air campaign and in both countries to take the initiative away from isis and their freedom of movement. we haven't done that yet but we're just beginning. and then we also need a ground campaign to actually destroy isis and move them out of the territory they have taken. that is the weakness of the strategy, melissa. because the fact is we've got a weak hand in the ground campaign in syria with the free syrian army. we have to arm them, quip them, and train them and also the iraqi army was collapsed and unproven peshmerga. this is a challenge for us and that is the weakness of the strategy. melissa: you are joining a chorus of generals and military experts who are saying we
2:15 pm
absolutely must have troops on the ground. do you think that the president will get over the hump and agree to that? >> i don't know for sure but this is the reality that he is facing. the fact of the matter is, he will not be able to accomplish his stated objective without having air ground controllers with forward fighting units, advisors, without having our jsoc direct action operations forces going after isis leaders, eventually bringing in apache helicopters and a c-130 gunships and having u.s. combat brigades at least as contingency to take over in the effect the ground force in iraq gets stalled. i think he will be pushed to do that incrementally over time. melissa: there are sort of two-ways to look at the president's strategy so far. there are critics who say we're doing this save the day military attack. we're coming, we're coming, long before we show up. others say it is thoughtful, it's strategic, it's calm.
2:16 pm
that we are, we're being thoughtful about it. which of those two do you think is more accurate? >> well, this is what i do know. i mean to win a war, you have to have certainty about accomplishing your mission. you have to be resolute about it. you have to have a sense of urgency bit. and everybody needs to know that you have the conviction to see it through. the problem we have, because the president in the past, while making decisions has held back resources from being able to accomplish those decisions that he has made. and there is a pattern of behavior here from 2009 to the present. the fact is that our allies in the region have doubts and reservations about the president's sticktoitiveness to see the mission through to completion and that in fact holds back some of their participation i believe. and it also creates skepticism among those who are participating. melissa: at the same time, as we mentioned when we came to you, we're now seeing more retaliation. this time against a french
2:17 pm
citizen. americans are worried about what this could mean at home in terms of, inspiring a lone wolf attack here at home. yesterday neil cavallerid-- neil cavuto asked rudy giuliani about this. listen to what he had to say and i will ask your reaction on the other side. >> this is very difficult to attain or success. this self-jihadist attacks they are very hard to track because they don't follow a pattern. this is the worst kind of nightmare for the police department, for the fbi, for homeland security people. this is something we have to take very, very seriously. melissa: what does that mean, general? how do we take that very seriously at home? what do we do to protect ourself? >> first of all, i agree with that. they do motivate people inside of the united states who are citizens here to take action against the american people. and they also clearly have people who are returning here from the region that could do
2:18 pm
the very same thing. so that, that, there is intent there and there is means there. the fact of the matter is our intelligence services to include local police departments like one in new york city's and the one here in washington, d.c., are extraordinary working together to pick up any signs of that taking place. we need to have intelligence in also some of our communities where muslims reside. we do get cooperation from people in these communities who recognize that people may be moving in the direction of radicals. that is very important. melissa: before we run out of time i want to ask you about this video that has gone viral on the internet today and it is about the president coming off marine one here and coming out, i think we have the video. he salutes the marines at the bottom, with his coffee cup in his hand. and, a lot has been made how disrespectful this is. as someone who made a career of laying your life on the line for
2:19 pm
all of our freedom, do you find this disrespectful. is it not that big of a deal? >> well look it, i don't for a minute think this is intentional. it was a lapse his mind is on something else. he is president of the united states. he gets saluted all the time. clearly what we do in circumstance like that if something in our right hand, we natural switch it to our left hand. that is what he should have done. he didn't do it. and it was a mistake on his part. i think we should get over it. melissa: general, thank you for joining us. we always appreciate it. thank you. >> good talking to you, melissa. melissa: come for the low prices, leave for, leave with a check account. it is walmart versus wall street as the retailer delves into banking. plus, seven feet of pure heaven. we're sending charlie gasparino to this relaxation pod? look at that! where the haters on twitter can't even find him. a run for your money coming

2:36 pm
which is what walmart, reason why they're doing it. >> melissa, i'll bet you, all these liberal groups, hate walmart they will come out against this even though charles is right, it helps poor and minorities and everything they stand for. melissa: that is great point. stinging new numbers on the state state of the job market. more than 25% of u.s. jobs are considered low paying. that is more than any other developed nation. on average, 16% of jobs in oec countries are considering low paying. 25% of jobs here in the u.s. are defined as earning less than 2/3 of the country's median income. charles, how depressing is that. >> it is depressing. it reflects a couple things. bifurcated nation, income inequality thing. what we need to focus on this sort of information that steve will definitely echo this, be manipulated into the notion, hey we can solve this, clinton alluded to this yesterday. here is how you solve it. higher minimum wage. fix the job mix.

take money from corporate balance sheets. melissa: still low-paying. >> minimum wage is still minimum wage. we also have education crisis here. if you think this number is bad now, 10, 20 years ago, will be knowledge-based economy, global economist. this is wake-up call, clarion call. get our act together. melissa: steve, doesn't it say all the middle jobs have gone away. that's what this stat tells you. the good jobs in the mid did i, those have disappeared no? >> m entirely different. this is most ridiculous study i ever seen. we have a lot of low pay jobs in this country. it is true, europe doesn't have them. because they don't allow low-paying jobs. they have people unemployed. we have low paying jobs, starter jobs. retail jobs, burger flipper jobs. they raised minimum wage in those countries so high they don't have the jobs. liberals would rather have no job at all than low paying jobs. one thing we know low paying jobs, people are competent and go to work on time, you know what?
