charlie. a seat right here. >> i'm sorry i was on the phone. >> keystone to go through. both sides of the aisle look forge that. looking to make that happen. because they want jobs created from that. they want that policy and they want cooperation in washington. i think, with the last election showed -- melissa: shows us we want cooperation? >> we want people to get things done. we don't want unilateral decisions. melissa: i don't think that is true. i don't think american people want things to get done. >> you don't think they want lower tax taxes? melissa: i don't think they want lower taxes. they don't want to see the president's policies get done. >> they want the republican party to figure out a compromise between the two. melissa: you want to get in here, jack. >> i agree with that. i don't understand the politics of the immigration move, if i was being machiavellian advising democrats i would say, let the republicans scuttle it. go out in 2016, say to hispanics i tried and i didn't do it. >> that is what he is going to do. >> if he pushes it through looks

like he is partisan. he doesn't want to cooperate. by 2016 he won't get credit for that anymore. >> for barack obama, is very adroit politician, right? listen, that that is how he got through -- melissa: i don't believe that anymore. >> how he got through obamacare. melissa: i think he is tone deaf. >> that stupid stimulus package. melissa: is that what it is called? >> i think stupidly administered. but you know i think he is looking to basically, this is a good wedge issue for democrats, if you could pass this, push this through and republicans against it go right to the base. melissa: story that keeps on giving. by now you know the obamacare architect jonathan gruber doesn't think any of us are very smart including you voters. in case you didn't hear him before he was kind enough to point it out, for a third time. >> we just tax insurance companies. they pass on higher prices. that offsets the tax break we get. ends up being the same thing. very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the american voter.

millenials, people who can't afford insurance and unemployed can't get insurance through their employer they can't afford it. adding insult to injury. >> sound like an academic. when republicans and democrats want something done. republicans say give tax break to people, let them the money. people allocate it more efficiently. democrats say let government pay for it. economists say that is silly argument, that is same thing. he making that same -- >> think about the media. melissa: he understood what it cost we would never have agreed to it. >> think about media reaction. mitt romney say something factually accurate. 47% of the population is on the government dole in some manner so they may vote for obama just because of. that. and that was like biggest story. this guy is elitist, he is jerk. this, that and other thing it hurt mitt romney's 2012 chances. one of the architects obamacare basically says the american people are morons. melissa: literally stupid. >> and we don't see that, that is not on the front page of

melissa: top military officials on hot seat in capitol hill about the fight against isis despite the president's decision to send 1500 more troops to iraq but defense secretary chuck hagel says, this is not our fight. >> what additional u.s. or allied military support do you believe it will take? >> that's a, very important part of what we are doing to assist the iraqi security forces. it is a comprehensive strategy. it is, i believe, can be done. but this is an iraqi fight. it is their future and. we can help, we are helping. we're doing everything we can. melissa: joining me chris harmer, senior naval analyst from study of i can't remember,

stephen yates, international advisory. thanks you both for joining us. chris, let me start with you. everyone is emphasizing this is not our fight, this is iraq s that absolutely realistic. >> absolutely not. whether we want to interested or not this is our fight. the best way to defend ourselves against organization like isis destroy in place rather than wait for it to come here. it is beyond my comprehension and look at totality of the evidence say this is not our fight. they are coming after us. a matter of time before they launch a spectacular attack. i hope they're not successful but if we don't take them seriously they will be. melissa: stephen, we have 3,000 groups on the -- troops on the ground are now. >> the trajectory will go up. secretary hagel in his testimony didn't give inclination what their target is. he has nebulously defined mission. they talked about this being

iraqi fight but that's odd. isis was born and bread in syria. so this is clearly a cross-border fight. i don't think we have any handle where the troop levels are going to go. the war itself is not moving in the right direction. melissa: one that takes money on both sides. secretary hagel talking about cutting off isis's money. listen to that. >> been able to not only disrupt that but stop that oil flow out of there that gets into the borders. and they were, they were, getting a few million dollars a day from that. they also get funds, contributions from inside. we tried to stop that through our intelligence communities. >> i don't know, chris, are we doing that effect tiffly? >> not in the least. you talk about strategic incoherence. i think stephen used word nebulous which is about most charitable word you can use to describe the american approach. we've been fighting taliban for

13 years. the afghan poppy farmers set a record for most opium produced if we can't stop opium being produced in afghanistan we'll not stop oil from being smuggled out of syria. they're not moving it around in supertankers that the u.s. can go and get. moving it around in small trucks. we can't stop. that we can't stop that type of finance. only way to stop a group like isis is go kill them where they are. melissa: meanwhile secretary hagel says isis changed its tactics. in what way? >> i'm not sure he knows what way they changed their tactics. they have taken territory. they have controlled it. they have taken some hits from us from the air. but basically they have moved and adapted to the battle space that we presented and they haven't diminished their capabilities. so there is questions about whether cities on the iraq-syria border will fall or not. all of it is basically a jump ball. i think they are in a fairly strong position. i wish our coalition was pushing them back. melissa: chris, do you agree with that. >> yeah, absolutely. jump ball is again the most

charitable analysis i could make of this. isis has the strategic initiative. we have reacting to them. that ultimately wind up with them winning their strategic objectives. if we say that isis is an iraqi problem, what we're essentially saying that the entire syrian homeland of isis is off limits for consequential u.s. strikes. if that is the case, then isis will melt back into the civilian population, there is some indication they have already done. that then they become a terrorist organization we can't separate out from civilians. melissa: gentlemen, thanks to both of you. >> thank you. melissa: turning toes markets, a great day for stocks. all three major averages hitting new all-time highs. let's go to nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange. what is driving the trade? >> i was chatting with mark newton over at greywolf execution partners. he said look what oil is going off. it is selling off. it is down $2.50 basically right now. that pulled major averages off their highs earlier in the day. right now 74, 75 averages for oil. that pulled averages up.

i mean is we want to see movies about faith and about hope and sacrifice and redem shun and love. we love these things. in fact that is what most good hollywood stories are all about. and i think that, at the end of the day, this is getting a little deep, but i think god is wired us in such a way that we respond to stories like that. because that is the ultimate story. and that is the story of christmas. there was someone who came, he was born ultimately to die. and he sacrificed himself to rescue you and me. and that is what the story of christmas is all about and i think that's why we feel this sense of, of magic and hope and wonder at christmastime. melissa: you had success in this arena before. in 2008, you did "fireproof." made half a million dollars. grossed 33 million. is there a formula that works? you will see more people jumping on this bandwagon. there are probably pitfalls to it. what do you think works? >> well, you know, i, there's a

conflict with movies like this. you know, you could have a movie like "noah" may work on visual level, may work on level of thrilling you but if it doesn't work in terms of being faithful to the actual text of the scripture from which it came, the bible, then you've got a group of the audience who will be very unhappy with that because to them the message is much more important than the images. and so, what i try to do is make movies that are, that are true to the faith, that are true to what it is really all about, and present it in a fresh way. and i think that's, that's what will always work. i, i hope that i have done that with "saving christmas." the response so far is that people come out of the theaters, in our test screenings, laughing. they say i loved that. it was sop fun. i learned things that i never really knew, especially about santa claus, christmas trees and

the nativity. melissa: your movie only comes two weeks. two-weaken gangment. what is the business strategy behind that? >> wealth business strategy is i don't have a $100 million to keep it in theaters for six weeks. so -- melissa: that is pretty straightforward. >> theaters across the country. if we fill up the theaters opening weaken, what happens other theaters say wait a minute. what is going on? we're missing out. so they will pull the movie across the country in more theaters. more of america can see how we saved christmas from all of the scrooges and all of the, the up tight religious folks who don't want to have time for all of the traditions that can actually enhance our celebration. melissa: kirk -- >> we can do that with joy. melissa: good luck to you. i will bring my family out to support you. we appreciate what you're doing. good luck to you, kirk. >> all right, thank you. take care. >> it's decision time. the house and senate finally want an answer from the

[laughter] melissa: robbie, congratulations to you. you're my idol. i love olive garden. thank you for coming on, we appreciate your time. >> yeah, thank you. melissa: spreading the wealth around, expert advice on how to tackle the tricky conversation of inheritance. plus, raiding the pyramid -- is there no security around those things? can you ever have too much "money"? ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ melissa: we've got some breaking news right now from washington. senate democrat leaders are giving warren a new role in congress and a new title. she will be known as strategic policy adviser to the democratic policy and communications

center. that is quite a mouthful. she will be a liaison, this is what they're saying, quote: to liberal groups in the base to insure that they have a voice. hmm, very interesting. all right, from the u.s. to every corner of the globe, money has been flying around the world starting in the u.k. where there's a government-run phone line for people concerned that a their pub is about to close down. pubs in the country have been shutting down at a rapid pace ever since the financial crisis. now locals can call and get funding and take over their favorite watering hole if ever they face trouble. this is important. the scheme has already helped hundreds of pubs. cheers to that. over to egypt where three germans and six egyptians have been sent to jail for raiding the pyramids. is nothing sacred? they were sentenced to five years for pretending to be researchers and stealing precious artifacts from the largest of the three landmarks. among the stolen items was an old scroll as well as ancient one of a kind rocks.

i hope they were worth it. all right, landing in india where the government has just appointed a miner is of yoga -- minister of yoga? the new official will oversee traditional exercises. the country's prime minister is said to be a huge yoga fan and says it can be used to fight climate change. fight climate change? hmm. i'm going to have to think about that. all right, the inheritance conversation, nothing could be more sensitive or stress areful for families than discussing how they're going to carve up what's being left behind. it is tricky, there's a way to do it. joining me now is diversified financial president, dominic katella. people have something to leave to their kids, nobody's working, everybody's house is worth zero. i can't believe anyone has anything to worry about leaving to their kids. >> look, in all fairness, if you look at the average family today between the value of their home, maybe a 401(k) plan, maybe some

savings, it's not unusual at all to see somebody pass on to their heirs $250, $500,000 and a million is actually common plus. melissa: really? wow. >> i think when you're talking about middle america, though, that's less common. especially as the cost of living goes up, people aren't getting raises, they're having to work longer, they're not saving enough in their 401(k)s, we know especially women aren't saving enough, and they're having to support their younger kids who might have school loans, so there's a smaller pot of resources -- melissa: it's still important to have the conversation. >> right. you should start it early. melissa: and how do you start it? >> start talking about, you know, especially if you are of some means, you don't want to deny that fact. kids might say, oh, mommy and daddy, are we rich? you don't have to say no. you want to stress what's really important to you as a family if it's not money, perhaps it's being a good person, it's giving back to society. it's hard work. melissa: go ahead. >> so our client base is

somewhere between 55-65 years old, and this is literally the core and tail end of the baby boom generation. these are people that have literally worked hard their entire lives, financially and fiscally responsible, they have their houses paid off. they really don't think of themselves as millionaires but, in fact -- melissa: if you put all your assets together, they are. >> yeah, i ask them -- i'll ask them, do you think of yourself as a millionaire? absolutely not. believe me, they have a substantial net worth. the problem is that they need to have these conversations with their children. they need to to go this is how we want to transition these assets over, and they're deathly afraid of having that conversation. they'd rather walk on hot coals than have a conversation with their own children. melissa: okay. we'll work on getting brave. thankthankthanks, you guys. here on fox business liz claman will be talking to the founder of omaze in the next hour which handles celebrity auctions and, an experience for charity.

i love that. nothing instills more confidence in our government than learning that they count on our lack of economic understanding to get their work done. the gruber fallout continues yet again. if you are as outraged as i am, tweet me. stick around. at the end of the day, it's all about "money." ♪ ♪ so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7 it's just i'm a little reluctant to try new things. what's wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles? yeah... i do... try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates.

year we spend more than we charge the people in taxes, to put it bluntly, because we can't come to agreement. people want certain things, but they're not willing to pay for it. melissa: thanks to both of you guys. thanks to you for watching. here's liz claman. liz: they really should, melissa. it is the last hour of trade. we are watching the markets very closely because the dow just turned positive a short time ago. we could see new record closes. we've also had a bunch of companies hitting record highs today, ones you might own, so stand by to hear if you're in the money. oil shocks the markets today as it oozes to a significant four-year low, crude hitting and then settling at a low of $74.07. that is putting a heavy toll on energy stocks. the s&p 500 energy sector down as crude falls 3.75%. we're even watching it in the after hours session because it is a big, big drop. and the
