receiving detailed information about u.s. strikes, this sort of thing. sounds to me like bluster a little bit. not exactly a reliable witness. melissa: it is his airspace. the men any of our men any i guess is our ally? david? >> you know i have a lot of problems with this whole issue, particularly given -- on one hand i want the united states to have more power. i want the united states to do more to get rid of isis. on the other hand i have a son who is in the marine corps. do i want incompetent commander-in-chief, i think it is fair to say this commander-in-chief is incompetent. he is incompetent fighting our bitterest enemies whether in russia or middle east or wherever? do i really want to give him more power? i don't know. we should play more active role. i don't want my son following orders of somebody giving bad orders. melissa: harsh words. twitter page latest vick tim of

>> some slivers of hope from greece. there was a big port privatization deal the new government spoken against saying this is giving away the company's assets when they're in power. looks like they're going through with the deal. that is grown-up move. that is good news. there has been a slight pullback on greek bond yields. not meaningful one to show there is a deal likely but raises a little bit of hope. >> if europe gives greece a pass, everybody wants a deal according to reports, if europe gives greece a pass, italy will be next portugal spain. this, they're thinking of giving -- melissa: what is the option? >> let them get out of europe. they didn't belong there in the first place. they had no intention of following the orders that you're supposed to follow if you're a member of the european community. those orders are very specific in terms of gdp debt relationship et cetera. they violated those orders from the beginning. they shouldn't have been in the european union for the past 10 years. >> absolutely right.

melissa: here's something i had to show you. i couldn't help myself. nothing to do with money. i love it none the less. these oils are conducting a mini dance-off. they love being in front of the camera. they start bopping their heads giving serious shoulder moves. i'm loving their attitude. i wish i had owls on my front lawn. okay, i'll let it go. the plot thickens. apple is working on something that will give tesla a run for its money. rumors are swirling. did you see this? it was a mysterious van registered to the company. it was strapped with cameras. it was cruising around california, just cruising around. joe is back along with

fox reporter. what was that van doing? >> creepy stuff. creepy stuff around town. >> what do you think? >> very likely, there was a lot of mapping going on there. (?) a lot of the stuff on the roof was probably cameras, things that will help out with apple map software as well as gps positioning software as well. a lot of the car companies need this. a lot of tech companies are working for it if you give it to them. apple probably doing that work. melissa: do we think it's smart cars? >> it seems according to the analysts, it's all about software, as you say, playing in that game and being able to kind of compete and be the front runner. tesla certainly has an advantage on that front. google in the self-driving car game. their software probably way ahead of apple. melissa: this is a mystery.

apple employees say the company is working on vehicle development and is going to give tesla a run for its money. (?) they said that to business insider in an email. were they toying with business insider? i've done that myself. >> i think a little bit. apple is interested in getting into car manufacturing than lincoln in laptop manufacturing. it is the system that will enable autonomous cars that will be very valuable. apple will want to be involved in that. >> if you look at the way that car software works, there is a lot of different competing interests, a lot of car companies who haven't gotten it right. the opportunity is there for the picking for a tech company. melissa: thanks, guys. that is all for now. i hope you're making money today. if you're hanging around to see adrian, we're sorry. looks like we'll have to hear from him on thursday. we don't want to blame
