made "monty python and the holy grail." there is a ringing endorsement as per their usual tone. with that in mind we turn third quarters over to melissa francis. "money" starts now. melissa. melissa: it sure does. the fight of the century. manny pacquiao and floyd mayweather. only appearance before the fight in may. fallout over hillary clinton emails. calls for a third party investigation. now the associated press is suing. "blurred lines" becoming a lot more clear as jury finds, robin thicke and pharell oh know. stopping double chins. they love it and investors love it. the stock is going crazy. even when they say it is not it is always about money.

melissa: but first, a look at markets right now. stocks back in negative territory after yesterday's bloodbath. all eyes still on the fed, which is reportedly looking to remove rd patient, from its interest rate guidance. meanwhile oil seeing a drop in the latest weekly inventory data out of eia. charlie gasparino, james freeman, "wall street journal." brian kilmeade host of "fox & friends." james freeman, give me take on fed talks since charlie is tweeting. >> i have a twitter war. >> maybe sometime soon they will start to talk about how they will eventually get normal interest rates again. this economy is growing. almost 300,000 jobs last month. some people call this full employment. i don't believe that looking at the labor force participation rate. the point is, we are a long way from the crisis. we're in a year where we're creating 200,000 jobs anymore. so it is there is plenty of liquidity in the economy. melissa: they keep revising.

>> this is janet yellen's opportunity to show this is not the bernanke fed. there will now be a turn. melissa: we all agree they do not have any excuse to keep rates lower any longer, right? can't we agree on that? >> no. melissa: keep them lower? they have an excuse for that? no, they don't. >> i don't have my mind made up on this but i have been reading liberal commentary. melissa: why? >> john cassidy from the new yorker. i read "new york times" editorial on rates the other day. our good friend, steve moore, who is not a liberal, when you talk to people like that basically saying this. there is no inflation in the economy. there is no, you have global competition on wages. we don't have this is not the 1980s or 1970s where we worry about prices going through the roof. melissa: there is equity bubble. >> we have wage, we have wage deflation in many parts of the economy. we also have fracking which is lowering cost of oil. there is no inflation here. why raise rates now in this environment without a noticeable

market bubble? melissa: there is equity bubble. >> that's what you think but -- melissa: that is what i think. >> there is a lot of people who don't think that. melissa: come on. >> oil will not come on because of monetary policy. >> why are you mad at me? melissa: i'm not mad. i'm very happy with you. no. this is my loving face. this is, i love you charlie gasparino. i'm on your side, no matter what. >> the reason, janet yellen knows, and they know is, there is a big danger waiting too long. >> you're too serious about this subject. melissa: we have to move on. they're yelling at me. setting stage money versus manny floyd mayweather, jr., and manny pacquiao hosting a news conference in ahead of their long-awaited bought. brian kilmeade. >> amazing they do not do a national tour. sports needs it. fun to see them at madison square garden at forum and texas and florida. amazed to see this is taking

place. at 38 years old these two welterweights will get it on. 100 million minimum for mayweather. 80 million for pacquiao. mayweather is well-invested. pacquiao blown $200 million in his career as we all have one point. melissa: who hasn't. >> what fighter hasn't? it is usually, the norm. it is not the norm that people like mayweather or rocky marciano who saved every penny. more norm was joe lewis getting ripped off by -- >> mike tyson. >> mike tyson spending money. you know what is interesting about this? the real fight should have occurred 10 years ago. melissa: that's what people say or five. >> payday is still huge. people still love to see the mano-a-mano confrontations. as much as media wants us to get soccer this is something the media ignores. melissa: who wants to see charlie gasparino fight anybody? >> i have seen him. he works out in tank top

challenging people in weight room at news corp. >> i don't challenge people. >> here is what i found, james. kind of interesting, like soccer boxing is using social media to sell the sport. do you know mayweather has 9.2 million facebook followers 5.6 million twitter followers. pacquiao, 6.3 on facebook, a lot less on twitter. that is how they sell this thing. that is how soccer made it in america with mls and franchises through social media. melissa: i want to move on to hillary clinton. everyone does. new revelations in the ongoing hillary clinton email saga. the inspector general finding many state department employees are not preserving emails for the record. >> what? i'm shocked. melissa: many of them aren't. >> are we shocked by that. melissa: this cops as the associated press is suing the state department trying to get access to treasure trove of clinton emails. are you shocked by this because charlie isn't? >> they can play by a different set of rules? melissa: a lot of people in the state department are not keeping their emails.

she is not alone. they're saying this is how it goes. >> the key to the defense is finding a midlevel bureaucrat somewhere who based just as badly as she did. therefore what can you argue about, right? >> right, right. >> i think point will really move this thing forward, unless charlie interrupts me which could happen. think about this for a second. i'm daring you. let's talk about this how about the remember the conversation when president obama was heard on mic didn't realize, liened over to medvedev, tell vladmir i have a lot of room to work in next couple years. that is what on email. all the side deals. you do this, i do that. they don't want that exposed. >> whoa, that is you're thinking. >> i don't want that out. even greater good. it is horse trading. you don't want that out, for the record unless you're dead. >> i will say this. chris christie had "bridgegate,"

closing the lanes on gwb, when he gave the press conference, a lot of people said he did it for too long. answered every question. that is more preferrable to what happened yesterday. incredibly controlled way she did it. looked almost robotic. she looked like a liar. i'm not saying she is. with the note. >> contrast, christie stayed and essentially answered -- >> every question. >> every question anybody wanted to ask. this was short and evasive. melissa: i said that before. she would have been better off stood there for as long as it took, been hammered by the entire process. raising your hand. so polite of you brian kilmeade. >> trying to show a contrast that "wall street journal" out of control and guy from business channel seeming to tight with you. too comfortable with you. >> you're such a mom. i want you to know that. >> here's my point. the first, foes to u.n. where it is impossible to get a press pass in one day unless you're jonathan karl and owe you a lot

of favors, and the iranian ambassador who was sick -- bahrainian. first question, turkish reporter, says i love america. i want to say. chaotic. that was controlled environment. everyone was talking at same time. no cutaway shot. what about circle head nods? what is she evading? is there a fly in the room? what are you nodding for? melissa: nocut aways. i was staring down the barrel of one shot. >> whole thing was bizarre. >> oh, my goodness. that was ready to go and sign that live. >> to your point about controlling environment and moment of dealing with the press, this goes back to the '90s where they really perfected the art of friday afternoon document dump on the long holiday weekend old news by time anyone pays attention. melissa: look at lumber liquidators, the stock skyrocketing today as more

questions emerge about the "60 minutes" report. some salve say investors not scared away. we've been all over the story. charlie has information what is driving this today. you have upset a lot of people. that is normal. >> cnbc tried to steal my story. i said an activist investor somewhat prominent guy named bop chapman, reported he is long the stock. more people going long the stock and tried to steal it today. to them. but what we how we advanced the story today and why the why the one of the reasons why stock is up hedge fund managers are going out there and they're testing the product themselves. they are calling, basically calling the lab that "60 minutes" was involved in. basically looking at the methodology that "60 minutes" used. they're finding that the methodology was faulty. they think that if you look at the way "60 minutes" tested it we have all this written up on fox business -- >> poison tile. >> what "60 minutes" did they tested every single element in the tile and, if you do it like

that, if you do it or wood lam minute nate if you do it like that, laminate. it is much more toxic than you do it way you're supposed to do it as a finished product. if you do it like that the toxins come down apparently dramatically. therefore london -- melissa: lumber liquidators. >> lumber liquidators. >> old in london. >> almost called them london lenny's a restaurant in queens. lumber liquidators basically complies with law according to hedge funds we spoke to. that is the main reason why the stock is up today. if you listened to fox business on thursday you made a lot of money. if you listened to cnbc today buy it up. >> closed caption work on your show? how do they spell out ugast. melissa: can't wait to see that. coddle ink came with the price. science is telling us exactly what it is. a new study reveals too much plays can turn kids into

narcissist. >> that happened to me. melissa: kids always told they are best, develop big egos later in life. what did your mothers and fathers tell you when you were little? we know how you turned out. what did your parents tell you. >> they weren't coddling. i was kidding. i may be a narcissist and egomaniac. >> that is your own fault. >> they smacked us. they hit us. we were disciplined. melissa: tell you were smart and wonderful and will succeed in life? >> never. my father wanted me to work at ups plant behind my house in yorktown, new york. get a teamster job. melissa: that was the dream for you. what about you? >> not a lot of coddling. melissa: a lost praise? >> some. but, it is amazing how much it has changed. i coached ymca soccer a few years ago and the, demand among parents to get medals to hand out all kids not just the kids. there is a parental expectation

everyone will -- melissa: will get a medal. do you tell your kids they're special and uniquely wonderful and, yeah? >> of course. melissa: i mean i knew that i will just own it here. >> that doesn't mean you're telling them they're great at everything. melissa: no. >> it can happen without work. >> i'm all about effort. number one, we read your book. i know exactly, we don't have enough time in the show. melissa: not enough time. >> charles payne could sleep in. let's -- i would say this. i have i had supporters didn't ask me? do you want to ask me? melissa: yeah. >> i had supporters as kid. more realistic, hey, all about effort. if i got effort i got the praise. that is what i learned early. when you coach you want to be positive. if you're not negative, the positive means nothing. you can not be too positive all the time because if you get praised when you're doing okay, or poorly it makes the thumbs up -- melissa: meaningless. >> you have special insight into this. melissa: no no.

i think -- >> you were a very driven person as a kid. melissa: i was very driven yeah. but also praised and told that you know if you get a b it is because you didn't try hard enough. because you're smart enough to get a all the time. >> you go. as i did. i will get in trouble. i say the same thing to my kids. >> you went to harvard, right? melissa: you if you get a b-plus you didn't try hard enough. you have brain power to get an "a." i expect an ea every single time. i will get so much email. it was said to me. i say it to my kids. too much that i shared. oh well. >> trained economist. melissa: that's right. >> didn't michael landon put pressure on you to get ratings? melissa: no, he was so nice. >> i used to have crush on her. melissa: very nice. talk about after the show. we burned a lot of time there. daring jewel heist carried out in france. we'll talk about the robbery straight out of ocean's 11. speaking of george clooney.
