another try. unemployment a hiding a lot though, like how many johnson are part time. here is what the ceo of gallup told me yesterday. >> we're a country of small and medium-sized businesses more than large. but the small and medium-sized stopped growing because they have wind in their face and lost their optimism. melissa: i'm joined by charlie gasparino, fox business senior correspondent. jack hough from "barron's," steve forbes chairman of forbes media. steve forbes let you go first. get the jobs report out today. they never want to separate how many jobs added were full-time and part time. yesterday we shed light on it. but that is the problem right? so many of the new jobs are part time. >> it is. one of the things that happened when they reduced unemployment benefits people decided we better go get work. so what do you do? take a lower paying job than you intended to. i think that is part of the reason for that. we still have a very weak labor market. it is improving. the key thing in the report that

gets no publicity at all household surveys, jobs there are volatile, month to month, are showing real strength. we'll see if it endures, finally there may be a glimmer of hope for small and new businesses. melissa: it is. according to the government, a job's a job. look at jobs created under the president, 60% are health care food service or temporary jobs. >> let's be careful not to blame the data reporting here. we have the best data reporting agency on the planet when it comes to our jobs number. it is not their fault -- melissa: that is not saying much though. >> we focus on certain numbers rather than others. melissa: how many are full-time, how many are part time. i think that is valid. one person lost a full-time job, replaceed with two part time jobs. looks like two new jobs created but the person isn't better off. i don't think it shows enough. >> i think latest numbers are best in long time. more people entering the workforce to look for work. that hasn't happened in a long

time. we seen creep up wage. >> any type of news is good news and you want american people to work. we should point out the job market in the this economy, obama economy. plenty of head fakes. >> the obama economy. jobs are weak because -- >> not pause of the economy? >> we lost jobs to outsourcing and lost them to -- >> not the president at all? not his fault that we have high taxes on small businesses? that we overregulate banks that prevent lending that is not his fault. >> share the blame between him and congress. >> democratic congress. melissa: final word. >> the real story amazing how well the economy is doing in the face of all the junk washington puts on it. this economy is ready to move if we do a few substantial reforms. >> but he won't. melissa: isis claims a female american hostage was killed by a jordanian airstrike. authorities are working to confirm the 26-year-old's death

after the statement circulated on twitter. white house is revealing a plan, calling quote, for more strategic patience fighting isis and defending its approach so far. the document comes nearly 150 days after the president stressed the nation about his strategy to -- addressed the nation. less than hour ago national security advisor susan rice down playing terror compared to others in the past. >> while the dangers we face may be more numerous and varied they are not of the existential nature we confronted during world war ii or during the cold war. melissa: steve, what do you think? >> this is real garbage. i mean we're not comparing it to world war ii yet because the world hasn't gone down the tubes that much yet but this president's absence on the world stage, having an effective strategy instead of say patience or something went wrong 1,000 years ago during the crusades the world is yearning for u.s.

leadership. not just providing occasional arms but doing real strategy. they haven't come up with a real strategy. when john mccain asked the defense secretary yesterday, do you have a strategy the answer was embarrassing. clearly they do not. they don't have one today. melissa: they call it, jack, strategic patience. >> i hate the sound of that. i'm eager for us to do more to beat isis, leaves me wondering what more should we do? we have airstrikes. do we want american soldiers on ground. melissa: we are not talking about soldiers on the ground. we're backing up with more airplanes and supplies. technical people. >> there are things american people don't want, boots on the ground and doing nothing. there is middle ground. i will say this whole comment comparing what happened going on today with isis burning people, cutting their head off with the crusade an spanish inquisition 700 years ago shows appalling lack of context what is going on here.

"new york times" on front page has story about brian williams. say what you want about him. what he said is right or wrong. that is nothing compared to the president of the united states comparing what is going on in the middle east with the crusades and spanish inquisition. >> didn't know the history of the crusade. >> that is another one. melissa: exactly. twitter shares surging today after the ceo blamed lower user growth on apple and trolls. charlie, you must have a lot to say about this. people leaving twitter because twitter can't control the trillions. you control your patrols on twitter. trolls. >> i tell them i scrape them off the shoe. if they see me at dell 'frisco's i head butt them out the door. a lot of wall street guys isn't it? nice after financial crisis a lowly journalist like me makes three times as much money as you do. melissa: very gracious. >> sometimes at the stop and sometimes they don't. i just mute them. >> am i too old to become a

maybe ken langone a lot of big republican donors are worried about skeletons on the closet. melissa: escaping the 9:00 to 5:00 slog rest of us go into is not enough for two lawmakers. steve pearce and eric we know who they are of california and new mexico they can't spend enough time with their constituents. they are proposing a bill to let them attend congress virtually. on face of this -- >> this is insane. melissa: saying these guys don't want to travel. wait, national security threat like anyone cares if a congressman is flying back and forth. i have to say i like the idea. if they stay home won't inevitably do less? isn't that what we all want? >> too soon after weiner gate to push for more congressional use of things like videoconferencing. i'm wondering what will be going on outside of the frame. melissa: jack jack. >> keep your clothes on. melissa: take this in a serious direction or take the jokes in a different direction? these guys don't want to commute all the way to washington.

what's next? >> steve pearce i happy to know is good guy. he likes the flat tax. i think he is genius. i want him in washington fighting for that thing. you have to interact with colleagues to get something done. melissa: we don't want them to get something done. i don't want them to do anything. >> i like flat tax. reform of federal reserve. get rid of obamacare. those are positive things. >> is jeb going to do tax reform you think? >> i think he will. >> he hasn't said a word about it yet. >> he knows they will all be after him. walker, they will be after him. they will have to put substantive things on the table. i think they're working on it. melissa: nbc not quite as proud as a peacock over this one. brian williams fallout continues, leading to questions about his future. plus, spacex reaching for the stars with an historic rocket launch. we hope this mission doesn't go down in flames. smart money coming up. ♪

saying a female american hostage being held by isis is now dead. but the terrorists are claiming that she died during an airstrike by the jordanian army. we're live in jordan with more details. connor. >> melissa, there is a great deal of skepticism here in jordan about these claims by isis. they said this american hostage known to be held by isis for more than two years now was killed essentially in a jordanian strike in raqaa. it's believed to blunt the jordanian unity and effort to attack isis after the pilot was killed by isis just a few days ago in that horrific video where he was burned to death. now, here it's being called criminal propaganda by isis. they dismiss these claims saying they're

highly skeptical. the cia are looking into this. they don't have any verification that this is true. they don't know if she's alive one way or another. jordanian people said how could they know it's jordanian. all the planes fly high. they're american. they dismiss it's a jordanian plane right off the top. they're also saying essentially what would this american hostage being done in a warehouse full of ammunition. that's what jordan and jordanian officials say they were targeting there. it sort of seems unbelievable that they were putting a hostage in a room full of ammunition knowing that's an easy place to strike. there's a lot of skepticism. jordan will continue to launch airstrikes against isis in coordination with the overall coalition plan to defeat and degrade isis in both iraq and syria, melissa. melissa: all right, thank you so

not some of the people who were hired back, melissa, are the people who targeted these conservative groups and the big scandal last year. what's really odd about this story if you've bean following it as you have what's been happening at the irs for the last three or four months. the irs commissioner said we don't have enough money. we have to put people into hold for 30 to 60 minutes. we'll have people delayed for their refunds. this is the most incredibly incompetent agency in government. that's saying a lot. melissa: absolutely. jonathan hoenig, one of the files were explicitly marked do not hire because this person was absent for so many hours. these are the people that are auditing our files with our tax money. this comes from the treasury inspector general. this is the -- >> only -- only in government. i mean, this would never fly in the private sector. these people aren't

being hired back by the government to be park rangers. they're hired to be irs officials. they're essentially government thugs. they can shakedown anyone. they can find anyone. and there's no accountability just in the irs itself. but even how these tax rules employed if you want to fix it, you would have to get a flat tax. you wouldn't need these expensive officials and bureaucrats. >> is there a way to fix this? >> yes, and as jonathan said, go with the flat tax. and the irs has become a completely rogue agency. they now seize business' money even if the business isn't involved in a crime. they have to sue to get money back. they targeted conservative groups. the head of the irs is contell muous of congress. they rehired people that shouldn't have been hired in the first place. >> what's happened has
