first time was back in september. "strange inheritance," 9:00 p.m. eastern time on fox business with the fabulous jamie colby. with that i will send it over to the fabulous melissa francis. >> cheryl, thank you so much. fighting back. isis brutality prompting a swift response from jordan. our government deciding to redouble its vigilance. listen to the real solutions that could be implementing right here right now. meanwhile not one, not two but four defense secretaries in six years. how a lack of leadership and vision could be hurting our battle against terror. plus how walking to work for a decade just earned this man $300,000. we have got the checklist for the ultimate crowd funding campaign. and money or marriage, when it comes to raising your kids new research shows that cash is king. what questions on this one? even when they say it's not it is always about money.

melissa: two isis prisoners are dead in jordan after jordan delivers on promise to avenge the killing of its pilot with either shaking action. president obama was to meet at 3:30 p.m. for a sit down-that was already on the books. we have fox news contributor, geraldo rivera, the host of "geraldo at large." i will go to you first. what do you think of the optics of this meeting in the face of everything that happened yesterday. >> meeting in jordan or in washington? >> no, no washington. >> i like the fact that the jordanians, let me start with the jordanians, they are central it to this. they have a wonderful army. they are battle hardened. they have not really committed it. they have had the air force involved in coalition strikes. i'm heartened by what, i am heartened have sunni muslims

demonstrating in the streets against sunni muslim extremist violence this despicable act, burning this man. that is as far as i know first time we've seen sizable sunni muslim demonstrations against the isis outrage. if this means you can get a populist outrage of something like the rage they showed about the damn cartoon if they can show that kind of rain against this atrocity, maybe you will get jordan as a meaningful participant in the coalition. melissa: you look, i watched the president's remarks live on the air as they were coming out they didn't match that emotion. his response has not matched that. i think to a lot of americans that is distressful. >> i think to most americans his response matches what they want. i think most americans, you could see -- melissa: do nothing? >> you could see it in the markets. i hate to reduce it to the markets but we are an economic show. you can see it in the economy. they don't see what is going on with isis right now as something larger than sectarian brutality. melissa: i don't think that is true at all. i don't agree at all.

>> you don't have to agree wit. all over the world, americans do not want us committed over there. >> here's where they will. melissa: not doing anything about that is meaningful. >> of course, of course that is not what we're saying now. the president, right now most americans are with the president because this has not had an impact beyond that part of the country. i hate to say it. melissa: i totally disagree. scott martin. >> we had all kinds of separatist-like groups trying to say hey we're with isis we're not with isis. geraldo mentioned sunni on sunni violence. melissa: they also have an american woman. >> 9/11 was an existential threat. americans do not see this right now as an existential threat. neither does the markets. melissa: i have that on -- >> when it comes an existential threat. >> i think already is. >> may be but americans are not

saying that. melissa: president obama's pick for secretary of defense is being grilled in the senate. if confirmed ashton carter would be the fourth person to hold the person in just six years. that doesn't inspire confidence. >> he is not a gi, is my only flaw i can see. he is very skilled veteran of the pentagon. he has been around for a long time. john mccain likes him the hawk of hawks likes him. so i'm okay with him. the fact that it is fourth in six years. hagel got reamed. let's face it. melissa: tough way to run a strategy, trying to have a cohesive strategy in the battle against isis, al qaeda and terror around the world four guys in charge for six years. >> leon panetta wasn't a gi. he was pretty good. bob gates? >> bob gates was. >> might have served time in the army. i will say this about president obama's policy with the military. >> i think panetta was a veteran. >> wasn't known as -- >> combat fighter. >> right. i will say this president obama is very uncomfortable with the

military. and that's why you see this going on. he doesn't believe the military should play a central role in any part of our, of the american, of this country right now. >> what do you do, cycle through defense secretaries to find one guy that agrees with you? that's crazy. >> let's be clear he reflects not that support this i'm giving you facts, he reflects views of a lot of americans. melissa: totally disagree. >> this is most americans. melissa: i don't think most americans feel that way. >> many come on. melissa: all happening against a backdrop of oil taking investors for a wild ride, plummeting back below $49 a barrel an wiping out gains from a four-day rally. two reports of oversupply pushing oil off a cliff and reviving doubts it is too early to call a bottom. charlie's favorite eric bolling saying that, pointing out to us, oil made largest three day after vans in six years yesterday but four days ago it touched its lowest level in six years. >> what does that mean?

>> the point is, it is incredibly volatile. every time we watch it go up it goes right down. >> when you look at macro situation with oil, it should go down a little bit and stablize at some point. here is thing when you have massive supply, you have great technology and not only that, there will be alternatives. >> you're not getting keystone pipeline. >> no. which potentially put as floor under things especially weakness overseas and economist. demand is way down. >> but do you need it? >> do you need it? i would argue you never needed it but a lot of pressure from the right. >> for jobs. >> jobs. 35 jobs? melissa: when oil goes back to the roof everybody will be talking about the fact we didn't build a pipeline. >> we'll get to it. >> then we'll build it. melissa: new york city mayor de blasio, one upping governor cuomo on minimum wage. the governor wants to raise the city's rate to 11.50 an hour, already a big jump from the current8.75.

de blasio says that is not good enough. he wants to raise 13 bucks. none is enough. it will never be enough to live on. >>.25 dollars last time raised in 2009. peg it to $2009 and index it. whatever $7.25 was in 2009, that is the same kind of -- >> other way. you vane had too much inflation depending -- >> $10.90 from 7.25. should be $10.90 right now. and go up 2%. melissa: logical. why don't we do that? >> why don't we do that? peg it to an index. >> why doesn't comrade de blasio do something logical. >> this is slave wage. melissa: wage at any level. >> small business owner, try starting a business in this city. by the way if you took off some of the other regulations these guys face then might talk about doing some sort of a raising minimum wage. >> living wage you don't

have -- >> geraldo. talk to them. they can't make their margins. >> had cot on fields with slavery. they went out of business. >> you telling me all the restaurants are slaves? >> many of them are. undocumented immigrants get more money in new jersey and $10 an hour plus lunch than legal people here. >> geraldo small businesses are not slave owners. they barely make their margins. >> they should not be in business. >> not going to have any business. >> they pay taxes. >> you have to pay a dollar more? melissa: hang on. hang on. government must have finally run out of ways to create more red tape in the u.s. because they're regulating the moon. such a great idea. letter to one that makes inflatable spacehab tats yes. >> i don't think i understand. melissa: faa says it should be able to claim territory without anyone else interfering. i'm not sure we understood that. the basically the idea they're claiming right to develop in a specific spot on the moon.

you're able to stake your claim to that through the government. >> if you lan on the moon you stake your claim. melissa: you don't have to land. >> out of the sky? telescope? >> i name ad star after my older sister once. [laughter]. 25 cents. melissa: all right, perfect. we'll find our space on the moon and finish the argument there. >> i think private enterprise will be successful exploring space. >> it ain't going to be free. melissa: stay with fox business. liz claman sits down with one-on-one with the "oracle of omaha" warren buffett for a whole hour today starting right after this show at 3:00 p.m. don't go anywhere. she will have that coming up. just because you're here illegally doesn't mean the irs doesn't have your back. president obama's immigration plan providing tax refunds to illegal immigrants. a fender-bender begs the question do steroid affect your driving? oh, my goodness. lance arm strong's yellow streak continues. sheryl crow has got to be loving

melissa: at least 26 people are dead as a trans-asia airways a plane crashes in a river shortly after takeoff. you can see the video. the plane narrowly misses buildings and clip as highway on its way down. that is incredible. there are around 15 survivors. they are searching for 17 missing passengers. the plane crashed minutes after takeoff. wow, really horrific. tax refund for illegal immigrants. irs offers reimbursement for people granted amnesty we president obama. money earned real legally while they filed tax returns that year. tony sayegh is here from jamestown associates. he i contributor. geraldo is back as well.

tony, you're knew to the panel. i will let you go first. this has to do with people here illegally paying taxes under taxpayer identification number. already the government has paid back for additional tax credit for children, additional child tax credit, $4.2 billion according to the irs. >> the problem isn't in the eyes of most people now you will have this classification of people under president's executive order which is different matter all together but now that he did it, you will get the people receiving tax benefit refunds earned income tax credit. this is retroactive back to times they were here in illegal fashion. that is where you see majority of the reluctance of american people to accept these type of things. it seems patently unfair to pay reparations for people that are in the country illegally. >> this is money paid into the system. >> they were here illegally. >> they paid their taxes. >> first of all let's be serious. illegal i will immigrants will get much more out of benefits

and services that then they pay in the form of taxation. >> i don't agree with that. >> a fact is a fact. melissa: geraldo look at stats people in the bottom 60% get more out of the government than they pay into it. so you would think immigrants here are probably in the lower 60% of the incomes. mathematically they would -- >> 10 seconds the crime of being in this country without proper authorization is a very minor federal misdemeanor. that is nothing. not paying your taxes earn an income is a far more serious offense. undocumented immigrants figured that out. so they pay their taxes under these numbers. now if retroactive, if they're made legal by the president's amnesty why shouldn't they get the money? it is their money. melissa: because they were here illegally. >> two issues here. are they owed money? i would say yes. give them back the money? melissa: they were here illegally. >> i will say this, a grandson of an immigrant, a lot of people stood on lines to get into this

country. that is number one. number two you can't have welfare state and open borders. impossible. you won't pay for it. >> they don't qualify for federal programs. they don't qualify. >> qualify for state programs. by the way, you have -- >> if they have citizen born children. >> geraldo liberals will have to prove to me all the people in arizona who want laws barring illegal immigrants from getting state services are just hate immigrants. they don't. they see their programs, their school systems, their hospitals taxed like there is no tomorrow. >> there are 500,000 undocumented immigrants in this city, you don't even see them. except you see them delivering pizzas and doing jobs you wouldn't do and shoveling snow. melissa: hang on. >> i'm going to say. this is where you see them because my brother works in emergency room. you see them getting health care that we can't afford as taxpayers to pay for them. melissa: tony, go ahead. >> we spend billions of social

services go to illegals, that is fact geraldo. whether or not is justified to do so is separate matter. melissa, this shows why the way the president enforced this executive action this am any tess through the fiat is problem. had we gone through a legislative process where we argued these out, made them part of a bill codified through action -- >> that is so disingenuous. >> republicans are not for any legislative process. what process? these are people that -- melissa: guys, guys. hang on. if you have folks out there paying taxes we know where they are. if they're here illegally and paying taxpayer i.d. numbers i doesn't understand why doesn't the government enforce it. >> we don't enforce it. >> immigrant vigor made this country great. >> of course they did. >> like my parents. >> who do you think could make it walking across desert. >> most people in this country. >> here is the economic issue though. geraldo. would i say this.

do we really need to push down the wage rate on unskilled labor more than we have now? you do that by just, flooding the gates. >> i think anyone on the right who argues about pushing down wages without supporting a raise, a hike in the minimum wage -- >> she should be barred from even -- melissa: we'll leave it there. we have to go. >> depend on hike on middle. melissa: a few stories on our radar right now. colorado residents have extra green in their wallets. sale of the drug was designed to raise money for the state, it pulled in so much, about $50in that the law status has to give some of it back to ordinary citizens. there you go. those with craving for girl scout cook sis may steer clear of california. inflation is causing some troops to raise prices by 25% to $5 a box. i didn't think they were allowed to do that? i was a girl scout. no one surprised, lance armstrong accused of lying once again.

continues to plummet. adam shapiro is on the floor of the new york stock exchange with more on that one. adam wow, talk about that one. >> wow considering three hours ago oil was trading over $50 a barrel. now at 48.40. a lot has to do with the reading we got on inventories. double what was expected, over 6 billion-barrels. that was a larger surplus than people thought it would be. as a result you see oil trading down. energy sector on s&p 500 is the biggest loser of the sectors right now. the s&p is negative. the dow is still positive. a lot has to do with walt disney having historic, what was it, $101 per share. but oil once again below $50 a peril. melissa? melissa: adam, thank you so much. boating and marine companies are surging in popularity amid low prices. mercury marine is one of the leading producers of boat engines in the u.s. they have one of largest sound studios in the country. to tell us why they would need such a thing.

they want great performance but don't want to hear the engine. so we go to great lengths to make sure the smoothness and quietness of the engine is right where consumers want it. >> and melissa, you may know mercury marine is a division of brunswick, better known maybe for billiards and bowling but they have divested their bowling holdings. the pressure is on you now at mercury marine. you're half the company right now. >> the pressure is always on us and we have invested a lot in the company over the past five years. several hundred millions dollars in new products, new technologies. we're really excited about the future of our business. >> they make engines for all kind of different boats. melissa, i maybe leave you with the sound of a 300-horsepower mercury marine engine. jeff, go ahead and fire that up. give us a full rev on it. sound of money. melissa.

strategies that the government can use to stem the tide. joining me peter brooks tony is back as well. we were talking about ideas, things to put money to work right now to start fighting this fight. it feels like we're not doing enough. k.t. mcfarland had this idea earlier on. why don't we have more bounties out on the heads of isis fighters? peter brooks what do you think? >> nothing wrong with it. i don't know what k.t.'s information is but i don't think it's been that effective. there was one out on osama bin laden for many many years and these individuals turn out to be quite loyal. melissa: that's a high-end. if you have low-end guys and you say bring me a middle guy, and i'm going to pay you a million dollars for it. a million dollars goes a long way in a place like syria and iraq. i mean, you could start picking off the lower-end guys. >> i understand that. i'm not sure it's going work.

i think that the people there's so much concern about the cia, will they really pay you? is this just a scam to get you to come in?t of that myth and other things out that makes it difficult. i'm not saying you shouldn't do, it i'm worried if it's effective. melissa: tony what do you think? >> if you pay off local people to use their intel, they know a lot more than we, do we lost our intelligence capability when we left when the president refused to form social stat us in iraq. what i believe seeing in the wake of the totally horrific murder of this jordanian pilot, which is the moderate sunni arab states like jordan, and saudi arabia potentially like egypt and turkey joining us being the boots on the ground in the war, having intelligence and air capability support that effort and make sure we're fighting isis continuously not just on a policy received by

the president. melissa: let's talk about how to supplement that idea. one of the ideas is hiring ground contractors. what if we put more money into having folks on the ground? we spent 26 billion dollars in iraq having mercenary folks, people for hire whether i.t. folks, gathering intelligence. all kinds of contractors that you could put out on the ground and the president could claim he doesn't have boots on the ground because they aren't official troops but instead these are people in there for profit. peter, why do you laugh that the idea? >> i'm worried about the risk. how do you control them. we use lots of contractors. i like american soldieris and know there is reluctance to put american boots on the ground. melissa: but we don't have that. isn't this better than nothing? >> to control them? are you responsible for their actions? you know, there's a lot of of risk involved in this and, of course, the lawyers are going to get involved and they're going to tell you this is probably not a good idea because you could be held

responsible for their actions. there's a lot of issues here. melissa: i don't know that anybody is held responsible for anything going on over there right now. i think that might be the least of anyone's worries. talk about local informants that's something tony brought up. what about the idea of paying nominee local informants to give us more information, really pours money into that idea? >> it's been successful in some respects. we kind of do it already, i'm not sure it's overt policy of our government. melissa: that's how we got ramzi yousef. >> correct the local intelligence is replacing what we lost when the president failed to keep our intelligence capability that we built up during the iraq war which was robust. the reality is this is such a global problem the fact the president refuses to address it as existential threat does not give confidence to the people in the battle. the moderate sunni states to take the risk in joining us

certainly not while he's the president. if you to talk about a real game-changer is with we change presidents in 2016. melissa: what do you think about the top of our show charlie gasparino was saying americans don't want to get involved? they feel the same way the president does. peter, do you agree with that? >> there is deep concern about the threats and the brutality presented to us, and i hope the american people realize that just because there's a fire down the street that the winds are blowing in our direction, and they have us in the cross hairs. i'll remind them of sydney and ottawa and new york city and paris and the pakistani school and isis flags in afghanistan and pakistan and yemen and libya and, of course what's happening in the middle east i don't think we can divorce ourselves from what's happening internationally, and you hear about fort hood. remember that? somebody recruited in place. these are dangerous times. i don't want to hiept threat but we are definitely in the

crosshairs. >> we're going to leave it there. oil pulling a 180 with biggest decline after gaining yesterday. it closed down nearly 9% at 48.45, after taking as much as $5 a barrel. we'll go to keen on the marthas.com with the trade. james, what's going on with oil? we're making this wild move. what's the truth of this trade? >> right, we saw oil bottom out and rallying starting with the bullish news about rig counts starting to come in a little bit. and today as oil was trading above 50 bucks we had a bearish piece of news as inventories came in with a much larger bill than traders were expect. a lot of the upside action is short covering and doing a lot of technical damage and taking out a lot of the gains over the last several sections. >> appreciate it. act of kindness putting a
