2:09 pm
year? it is also green. when you have a green liquid, isn't that synonymous with toxic waste? why don't understand why you make it green. >> isn't there a movie, solvent green? >> they both leak the same. they use the same sweetener product. and it will tate different than a pepsi or coke. >> this is like some sort of throwaway to the environmental movement. we'll put green on our -- melissa: trying to say, in the same way everything green is healthy and trying to say -- >> that is what i'm saying. melissa: i don't think they're trying to say it is environmentally friendly and healthy and good and non-toxic. >> they will sell a lot of these in berkeley, california. >> coke has had a lot of problems remaking their image. remember new coke? it was a disaster. this looks like another one. melissa: very enlightening. thank you. exposure to the first american ebola case now at 100 people and counting. we have the latest on that and details about the next major health threat in the u.s.

when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

melissa: that is a live look at northwestern university in illinois where president obama is speaking on u.s. economy right now. he is expected to talk all about the progress economy is making and insure americans out there you're all better off than six years ago. fox business is going to stream this speech live online. we're also monitoring it. if he says anything new, if there is any breaking news we'll bring it to you. if you want to watch it live, might be the same ol' thing it is online. turning to the markets, gopro shares getting hit hard today. let's go to nicole petroleum on floor of new york stock exchange. with more on that story. nicole? >> that is one story we're definitely following. gopro has six mill shares, five million shares that the cofounder and wife donated to charity and that charity got the okay from jpmorgan for lockup expiration, basically says those shares can become available. not clear whether they're selling the shares.
2:14 pm
this is big selloff after gopro hit new highs. here is the post. stock is up 26%. certainly a big day here on wall street. we had the ceo on earlier today. look, they even brought some stuff, this is online retailer, doing incredibly well. but this is some of the things that they have put on display for everybody to see. we decided to show it to you. melissa: nicole, thank you very much. new fear about ebola spreading. health officials confirming the first patient exposed up to 100 people with the deadly virus. that is a very far cry from the 20 or so that were originally thought. after reports that the patient flew into the u.s. on a united airlines flight, some are now concerned. the number may be much higher than tha. jorge rodriguez is internal medicine physician. he joins us now. 100 people, even that is sounding like it may not be the right number. the people that they're
2:15 pm
monitoring, i mean they're sort of going about their daily business and what are they doing? taking their temperature? what does that mean, we're monitoring these hundred or so people he may have been in contact with? >> i don't know what that means. i don't know what ma means. i'm glad to hear the number because that is very realistic number. maybe another hundred is more realistic but something that was said, i find it really interesting a little disturbing, head of an airline company says there is zero president anything can get infected. >> you don't buy that? >> nothing in science is zero percent. when somebody says that may meep they're not considering any possibility. maybe prudent thing to monitor them. flight attendants are at higher risk. melissa: talk to me about the risk, when they said something, you have to exchange bodily
2:16 pm
fluids and sitting in the seat that doesn't expose anyone so if you're on the plane and it is not airborne what is the prick? >> let me give you scenario. melissa: good. >> what we don't know, 100%, everybody says very low, say this gentleman was starting to have the infection. drank a soft drink and sputum is on the cup. the flight attendant came and picked up as sometimes do with their fingers, that person may have been exposed. of course to say zero, didn't vomit on the person next door, you know that in the seat, there is always some risk. they know who should be on the flights. they should be vigilant. melissa: vigilant. we know what you mean. there is a lot of other health risks people are focused on. we're looking at ebola, we may face a bigger threat. children in two states coming down with unexplained symptoms of paralysis. some think they may be linked to the deadly enterovirus sickening
2:17 pm
children across the country. this is another huge story if we weren't talking about ebola would be number one on the list. tell me about this one? >> first of all, any virus in the anytime of the year can give you certain knew religion call symptoms. like guillain-barre syndrome. like flu. enter row virus, d-68 don't know if this is anymore pathological and causing this but we need to be aware. my take home message, if your kid has asthma or respiratory thing, make sure that is taken care of. if any symptoms, go see the physician. this is very, very dangerous virus. melissa: there is no vaccine or no treatment for evd-68, right? >> not at this time. a lot of flu vaccines contain different genome types for viruses. like most viruses something takes care of itself. you need supportive care early enough.
2:18 pm
that is take-home message, as far as i'm concerned. melissa: dr. rodriguez, thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. melissa: more to come on ebola. david asman is back with me now. what do you have on 4:00 p.m. on "after the bell"? >> william fisher, in north carolina and sitting comfortably in university setting he decided seeing what is going on in africa and decided to go there to work in ebola clinics western africa. he was in sierra leone and guinea. one email relates to what dr. rodriguez is saying, sometimes people who don't have very obvious symptoms of the disease could still pass it on. that he saw, he saw that happen in his clinic. melissa: that's terrifying. that is the thing they're saying is not happening. >> exactly. well, we're going to be asking about that, whether or not that could happen here. he, wants to dispel all of the hype and all of the panic that is going on about this. he thinks it is very important to do that. but he has very interesting
2:19 pm

2:24 pm
chicking -- checking out price of oil, still very cheap. this is level we haven't seen in year-and-a-half. phillip streible down at cme. phil, traders pointing to opec price war going on right now. >> yeah, there is a real wild ride going on in crude oil. we saw it three sessions ago. high as $95. this morning we came down to 88. those lows were tested in january. there is some concern that opec, they have been boosting their production but stocks with crude oil staying below $90, we may see them curve off of some of those exports. if you look at the u.s., and you look at our production, we're producing at 28-year highs. it is about 8 million barrels a day. if you look at our exports, our exports are at 11-year lows. we're exporting about 7 million-barrels of that. so every day we're building inventory of about a million barrels. if you come into the growth situation in the u.s., it is okay.
2:25 pm
it is moderate right now, but i don't think we're consuming that excess inventory. melissa: no. >> that is why prices are continuing to sell off. melissa: it is good news for prices at pump without question. americans are hurting from an income perspective. so this is good news. thank you so much for coming on, phil, we appreciate it. >> thank you. melissa: the rebels -- revel's lucky day. the bankrupt atlantic city casino scoring a buyer. the company will pay 110 million bucks to buy the two-year-old casino that shut its doors last month. david asman and "wall street journal" simon constable. looks like a deal. they're getting $110 million. paying at cost, 2.4 billion to build this this is atlantic city and revel, no one made a go of this. what do you think, simon? >> i think capitalism is alive and well in atlantic city. maybe nothing else is alive other than some rodents. i like people going in and getting a deal and putting money
2:26 pm
on their own. it is not government's money. it is their money. >> it is a hell of the deal. 1/20 when what it cost to build the thing. melissa: 1/20 for something that may be worth nothing. nobody goes to atlantic city. >> the question, what do you fill it with. they keep it as casino. a hotel casino. they have to provide a new venue, something speck tack alreadily knew, something involving children and families. something just the opposite, singles. melissa: background on brookfield. they own the atlantis paradise island, about to go under heavy assault from this new megaresort cropping up next to the aged atlantis and will hurt them there. they're doubling down in atlantic city? i don't know about this. >> atlantis is very family-oriented. when ever they tried that in gammably places like las vegas or atlantic city hasn't worked. they treed to go family, it hasn't worked. if they try it here that could be a problem.
2:27 pm
>> for all of getting government money, there is incentive for the, new jersey state government to try and clean up the rest of atlantic city so it isn't quite as -- melissa: blow it up and move it two miles down the road and not call it atlantic city anymore? everybody halves tried. i hate to be debbie downer but everybody has tried. >> i'm a big believer going in at bottom and rebuilding. >> there is some politics involved too which is chris christie staked a lot on atlantic city succeeding. gone exactly the opposite direction. so he may try to help out somehow. melissa: thanks, guys. netflix finds a new partner in crime. the company scoring a deal with comedian adam sandler. let's hope the product is better than "grownups 2". did you see that? no one else did either. this is the top. a man spent more on an airline ticket than some spend on a brand new car.

melissa: basis is picking up steam and heading straight to baghdad. the fighting is an hour west of baghdad moments ago. the turkish parliament voting in favor of turkish military involvement in sea and iraq. that is big. it just happened to. to discuss more on this is fox news military analyst colonel david hunt. thank you for joining us.
2:41 pm
it has been difficult to get turkey involved, now the fight is coming to the doorstep and started to get involved. >> we are not sure about turkey. the vote you heard about they also had 40 of their diplomats and staff who just returned, pay a lot of money for them. many believe they made a deal with isis not to participate in iraq and syria. it is an independent country, democratic. we do need them in these kind of fight. we need them in this coalition. people actually participating with us is minimal. melissa: does it give more pressure that their fight is moving towards their doorstep? it seems inevitable for them to do something one way or the other.
2:42 pm
no? >> my bet is they will not -- isis will be seen as a syria and iraq the problem. is a pronounced border between iraq and turkey. turkey has a strong military and clear the they will defend their border. the kurds are not as big a problem as they used to be because they're getting a lot of help in kurdistan and iraq. this is a very difficult fight, particular kind of coalition and made more so with turkey being ambivalent about it. melissa: many are worried what is going on in baghdad as we move closer to baghdad, that that is blowing up into a street fight. how close are we to that in your opinion and what would that mean? >> we are in the fight now. i think isis got in the suburbs two days ago, may have been pushed out. the one forced in baghdad that is capable of fighting isis is
2:43 pm
unfortunately the shi'ite militia group. about 40,000 during the height of our involvement in iraq. they are well-financed, vicious, but the iraqi military is not capable as of today of doing anything against isis because maliki fired all the leaders and hasn't been reconstituted and city fighting built up areas, the most difficult fighting in the world. dierdre: thank you for your perspective. we appreciate it. let's get a check of the markets, the dow turning positive after being down 134 points at session lows, larry show for is that the cme. what is behind the turnaround? >> the knee-jerk reaction was to blame mario draghi thinking he came up with another acronym to save the euro zone but when people filter out and think about it, he did nothing outside consensus, he never once mentions the specifics purchase target.
