11:03 am
instead, it went into a fairly normal descent. thirty-two-3400 -- the speed of the dissent was about dirty 400 feet per minute. about what you normally have when you are landing at an airport. it is not an abnormal descent. you go down the whole thing from the pilots to a mechanical -- by the way airbus this should have been sending off all kinds of signals. warnings. bells should have been going off in the cockpit. it also sends the same signal to the operations center of the airline. the airline will know, hey we have a problem. stuart: president obama has been
11:04 am
briefed. homeland security says that there is so far no link to terror. if there is no distress call in the plane glides to a crash landing it puts terrorism in the picture doesn't it? >> possibly. we are back to the malaysian flight now. did somebody take over the cockpit or is this a suicide type pilot or is there something that overtook the computer system on this plane and put it into a descent that the pilots could not get out of. stuart: well express. video from helicopters which are attempt date to reach the crash site. 6000 feet up in the french alps.

11:08 am
>> ices is really, in some respects an al qaeda offshoot. what was once al qaeda in iraq. it is a very different entity. it recently proclaimed its region. we have yet to see any indication that this is something beyond a propaganda tool and it means that al qaeda will be running the operation. stuart: understood. thank you for joining us. we do appreciate it. the middle east clearly and chaos. power expanding rapidly. 220 eastern president obama and the president of afghanistan will join in a joint news conference. to the markets.

11:17 am
lot of money at stake here. it seems like the government is trying to impose and intellectual straitjacket. now, climate change is real. it is man-made. you better believe it. >> believe it or be punished. that is exactly what they are doing. that is how they want this whole thing to play out. if that governor does not believe in climate change and there is no funding to be found to help with relief efforts then people hate that governor. they want it to be well, this guy is too crazy that he does not even believe that climate change can happen. that to me, is sickening and
11:18 am
unfair. >> it will make some voters turn around and say governor, you are ignoring the money. if you just say that climate change is real, you will get the money. >> i do not believe in this. i am taking a stance and doing what is best for my state. help me or don't help me. i think that it is ridiculous that they would play politics with people's lives. it just seems petty to me. it is absolutely ridiculous. >> making the assumption that a flood is automatic if there is not climate change. >> i lived up in new hampshire for my family for 24 years. we did have major flooding.

plane crash in france. ashley: the white house has been in touch with french, german and spanish officials to offer help and the u.n. security council spokeswoman says there's no indication this crash was the
11:33 am
result of terrorism. as to tom sullivan's fought earlier. we can say the french police say they will take days to recover the bodies due to the difficult terrain. one french official says the largest piece of debris spotted so far is the size of a car. the plane disintegrated as it smashed into the side of the mountain. adding to the mystery you have been talking about this is the plane descended from 30,000 feet when it disappeared off the radar and 6000 feet did that in two minutes pretty steep decline or decent but never veered off course. was in a completely straight line which leads you to be the pilot had the opportunity to turn to the east or the west marseille airport was literally 30 miles away so there were places you could land 16 school reported to be on this plane with two teachers, they were part of a foreign-exchange trip no distress call, none at all so very interesting.
11:34 am
the key to this is to find the black box, and use of a plane fly overhead very low altitude. no obvious signs the plane was in distress other than it was flying too low and would never make it over the mountains. stuart: no distress call from the plane or the pilot. >> i am not saying this is terrorism. the plane seemed to be fine. you can move into the cockpit what went wrong in the cockpit. stuart: we will have a lot more on this. hearings in congress on operation joke point. if the white house didn't like you, banks and financial institutions were pressured to close at your account. gun stores, casinos, payday lenders, and the guys smoking paraphernalia, found himself
11:35 am
unable to do his banking. roll that tape. >> i don't think it is part of the american way. i don't understand why this is happening. if you want to target the legal company target illegal companies and stop those companies. don't go and talk gets specific industry. stuart: my comments -- judge napolitano: why did you have to spell that word? stuart: yes you do. is this legit constitutionally for the government to pressure companies to put those guys out of business? judge napolitano: the government has been doing this for years. look what they have done to the tobacco industry with respect to requiring the tobacco industry to advertise to its customers that the product will harm them. stuart: i can make the case. judge napolitano: tobacco is caught up in this but this is purely political. this is purely the government
11:36 am
making a moral judgment. the executive branch of the government called not the legislative. the difference is profound. that because we morally object to what you do, guns, ammunition hookup, bars and certain tobacco processors we are going to pressure your banks which we regulate to make your ability to borrow money so expensive you go out of business. if the government wants to do that it would be necessary for the congress to rewrite the laws and most of those laws would be unconstitutional because these businesses in and of themselves are perfectly lawful consistent with the constitution they run against the political strain of this administration. the same things they did with the irs where they used lawful authority to twist and push and try to get people of business. stuart: you are the constitutional expert. i am the guy who looks at the money the economy and the legitimacy of government power.
11:37 am
in this instance i think it is bullion from the government to achieve aims which it cannot achieve through the legislative process. judge napolitano: para two constitutional issues. the executive branch making its own rules that only congress can make. the other is a violation of equal protection. it doesn't treat all businesses equally. it takes those it morally dislikes forces the law with such rigor and vigor and pressure and put them out of business. who is the government to do that. stuart: has there been a time in america's history where there was constitutionally strict good government? judge napolitano: in the administration of president thomas jefferson. stuart: that is it? that doesn't say much for your argument. judge napolitano: my argument goes along with an english meant by the name of lord acton that power corrupts and absolute
11:38 am
power corrupts absolutely. the more power you give the government the more it will grass and the more it will exercise. stuart: my problem is that if this kind of unconstitutional act has been going on for so long and it is very prevalent today but nothing is done about it, the point always becomes irrelevant. and jeannette good argument. is known as amending the constitution by consent. when one branch of government, you're the executive branch get away with all kinds of lawless action and the congress lincoln does nothing or courts wink and do nothing is basically a -- amending the power of the presidency by the consent of the of the two branches. who suffers? we suffer by our loss of liberty. stuart: the answer is politics not the courts for the law. judge napolitano: the answer is to repose the constitution into the hands of people who believe that it means what it says. an argument -- that senator ted cruz made yesterday.
11:39 am
he really believes along with senator rand paul that the constitution means what it says and he will make that case whether he wins the republican nomination or not he will make that case. stuart: that voice is being heard. it may not win may not be nominated but the voice is heard. judge napolitano: is third with a texas accent. occasionally even with a london school of economics accent. how do you spell hooker? "imus in the morning" when you announced your presence early. judge napolitano: you love when i do that. pretends to hate it. stuart: appreciate it. actress angelina jolie undergoing another preventive surgery to cut her risk of cancer. is something everyone should consider. we will discuss it. after the break hillary clinton joking about the e-mail scandal with reporters. has the clinton machine succeeded again and made it all move on everybody? >> i believe in transparency. i believe in taking

stuart: we have a new seven year high for new-home sales, look at home depot and lows, what is so funny, hillary? she took time to make a few wisecracks about the e-mail scandal when delivering a keynote speech. listen to if this. >> i am all about new beginnings. a new grandchild. another new hair style. a new e-mail like hell. stuart: kind of funny. what is this about? >> you use humor to deflect and that is her way of acknowledging two things. one is the e-mail but the other
11:45 am
thing is she is not a new beginning so she's making fun of both because both of those she is really identified as the issues. i am sure she and her advisers are talking about you are not new and we have this e-mail problem so deflected with humor. stuart: laugh about it move on and pretty soon it is -- >> diminishes. luann going after her because she is hillary clinton. angelina jolie has had her colombian to send ovaries removed as a preventive measure against cancer. two years ago she had a double mastectomy. the doctor is in. dr. mark siegel joining us now. angelina jolie's mother died from cancer and i believe other relatives have also had cancer and died from it. >> she is making an intelligent police. the reason is because 10% for
11:46 am
breast cancers our genetic and large predominance of ovarian cancer as well. the gene which is the breast cancer early onset gene is actually protecting us -- women against cancer. when it mutate and changes it is no longer protecting the sell. the cell goes haywire and you get breast cancer. fiesta made a risk of breast cancer was 87% and the risk of ovarian cancer was 50% and they keep increasing over the age of 40. she is now 49. yes making an intelligent choice. it can be done in a way that is much better than it used to be through a scope inserted into her belly button. they remove the ovaries and leave in the uterus. she has to go on hormones after is that. stuart: she is advising other women to do the same thing as a preventive measure. i presume she is saying do this if you have the same risk factors and i have got. do you approve of that? >> i read that differently.
11:47 am
what she's doing and she is doing something incredible because after she has a mastectomy in britain the following year there was a study that showed you had twice as many women going to breast cancer clinics. this is what she is saying. get checked get screen, see if you have the gene. i can check it in my office to anyone who comes to me who has a family history. get check. if you have the problem then consider maybe having a mastectomy maybe having the ovaries removed. this is choice. power is knowledge is what she says. i completely agree we want to know if you have a risk of cancer and we want to make a decision with you about something should be done. stuart: just as the side or question. the elective surgery, i take it? is that covered by insurance? mess down like a strange question but is this kind of risk prevention affordable by most people? >> excellent question. it is elective surgery. it would be debatable. some insurances will cover this, some will not. you have to make sure you have
11:48 am
an insurance the does. it is not under obamacare of this would be covered, he is not 100%. stuart: if it is not covered we're talking tens of thousands of dollars. >> absolutely. you have to find a clinic or somebody who will do it for less but if you can document this risk, most insurances will cover. what about women with other risk? the other thing that is happening is cutting edge. we are getting into the part where we are using genetic to say who is at risk and what can we do? that is the future of the cutting edge of medicine regularly to the one back to the test that you can do in your office, you can find the gene. if somebody has got even find it. a simple test? >> a blood test. diane internist the two combined give you 10% of all breast cancers. that is how much it is. stuart: i hate to say that simple but it is that easy. it is done in your office.
11:49 am
a perk of blood, look for that and there we go. >> i am not telling all women tab this test. all women with the history of early onset breast cancer your relatives got breast cancer early, they shall all have this test. stuart: that is valuable information. we appreciate it. zoo lily, we call it the amazon for mothers often criticized because they take too long to deliver the product. they are doing something about it. find out what they are doing and if it will work and that will be next. ♪ at mfs, we believe in the power of active management. every day, our teams collaborate around the world to actively uncover, discuss and debate investment opportunities.

11:54 am
their problem is is it takes weeks to get your order and they try to change that. what are they doing? >> it takes weeks to get an order and at that point it will take two weeks to get something i will never order from again. for once and that is it. what they will try to do is copy amazon's models so they will go to smaller companies and say rather than be shipping this stuff when we order and shipping it to customers why don't we hold on to your inventory in our warehouses and when customers or we can send it directly to them. stuart: so they will say to the panthers guys for example come conover, give me a truckload put it in my warehouse but don't charge us for it until we send it out. free inventory cost, no cost inventory. >> that is what they're trying to do and for smaller companies it might work especially since even though their stock is down a lot, revenues were up 73% $1.2 billion in revenue last year so for a smaller company,

12:05 pm
united nations. this is the major shift of american policy in the middle east. stuart: why is he doing it? >> you have to ask him. it makes no sense. it is of great concern what this will set up for the united states of america and the middle east. saudi arabia is concerned about this and there have been talking between them and the pakistani about guess what -- stuart: buying the bomb. >> they have that capability. >> no with the race that is going on in the middle east is to is going to be the dominant hegemonic power in the muslim world. saudi arabia is the historic power because they have mecca the holy sites turkey wants to come back because they stuart: the last great caliphate. the ottoman empire but the new get on the block is the iranians. the interesting thing is they are portia not see any. egypt they don't want . egypt they don't want to see

gas down a little bit holding steady for couple weeks $2.41 is the national average and now is this. seattle restaurants are warning the city's minimum-wage hike, a to $15 an hour by 2019 could soon force them to cut back their staff and raise prices. look who's here. charles payne is back. this is near and dear to your own heart isn't it? charles: it really is because this is one of the biggest farce out there higher minimum wage thing, one of the biggest farces out there and i find it interesting places like seattle which is a boom town, they talk about this because it really has limited impact on almost everyone except a very small business owner and the people at a longest part of the economic front. already this year we have seen headline after headline from
12:08 pm
seattle restaurants are closing or they are moving. i do want to let the audience knows something historically the last three minimum-wage hikes, 2007-2008-2009 2007 130 million people were working a year later 137 million people they've raised the minimum wage again, a year later 130 million people so they raise the minimum wage again. the point is the last three times we have raised the minimum wage in this country our employment and from 130 million to 38 million to 130, 8 million people out of work over a three year period. guess who those people work not the people at the top of the economic ladder. stuart: the people who will not get a job because minimum-wage is going up they will never know why they didn't get a job. they will never know. charles: it will be someone's fault, some nefarious gop person's fault but the average person won't connect the dots. some people might. to fireworks in a restaurant and
12:09 pm
we have 51 employees or 55 employees and all of a sudden we have 45 half of them part-time we know what happened we saw what happened, we saw -- stuart: being greedy. charles: some people are smart enough not to do that but bottom line is forgetting about the blame game this has consequences. do they say it is going to help actually destroys. stuart: charles payne is back and with us for the hour. here is what we have for the rest of the hour. israel spying on talks between the u.s. iran, gave the info to lawmakers. i am saying that is a good thing. will lou dobbs agree with me? he is on the show later. fox and friends host brian kilmeade we get his take on the nfl plan to stream a game on line. time for sports fans to cut the cable court. also later the hands up don't shoot protest turns out that is not what happened michael brown ferguson shooting. now the mainstream media is finally admitting it.

12:14 pm
extraordinary amount of heat from the mainstream media and within the black community. i would like to know when is al sharpton going to stand up, when is president obama going to say something about this? this is a narrative that becomes folklore within a community. if only one or two journalists at the washington post or somewhere else if i were in ferguson and don't know about the washington post and never hear about this. for me if i lived in most black communities in america don't know about these one or two or three journalists who say i got to be honest about this, i never hear about this, all i know is the folklore i am being victimized and hunted down by the police, hands of don't shoot is the narrative of the day. stuart: it is false. a movement to build on a lie essentially. whipped up by -- of i use the word agitators' that is totally wrong. charles: they were agitators'. we have seen the reports same reports paint a bad picture as a place for black people with
12:15 pm
respect to the police. was a powder keg. what sent it off once misinterpreted but misinterpreted deliberately by the powers that be. there were agitator's. we cannot give the rev. al sharpton a free ride on this. we can't give president obama if we ride. they have a certain amount of time particularly the president of the united states to say be on the department of justice report that exonerated everyone i want to say once again this particular part of the story was wrong. he should say it. stuart: thank you. i want to get back to seattle's much higher minimum wage, the big increase because this is having all kinds of fallout. restaurants now saying some are likely to cut staff and to raise prices and it could mean really big problems for wait staff who make their money off of tips. consider this. is a restaurant is paying the wait staff $15 an hour what is to stop the management from taking their tips to cover the
12:16 pm
increase in wages? could happen. come on in john casper host of the hit show bar rescue. i was in the restaurant business when i came to america and i have worked in restaurants where you didn't get the tips. they went to management for all kinds of reasons. that is what happened and i didn't like it but i can see this happening in a place like seattle if you get paid $15 an hour. what say you? >> i had a similar business. kranick negative 4% labor costs because i charge 18% service fee and paid by employees $9 an hour. i profited on their actual labor. so yes. there are models restaurants are going to look at the do things like that. the sad thing is many tipped employees in better restaurants will run 16, 18 $20 an hour. this new situation will cause them to learn in some cases less but more importantly restaurants run about a 30% food costs 30%
12:17 pm
administrative and other costs and the 36% labor costs now, that only leaves us 4% margin. where do these dollars come from? they will be passed to the customer and employee. those are the two that will pay for it. stuart: is that accurate? in all the bars and restaurants you have been inside of the financial workings is the 4% net profit margin. that is it because that is extremely slim. >> it is tight. a great restaurant can get up to 8% 12%, never more than that. you get the food costs lower smaller stakes, smaller portions, higher prices, lower quality specification of product. this will impact the guest experience hugely but in the end the employee is going to pay as much as the customer. stuart: what about the idea of automated ordering. i have seen this in some restaurants already. represented with the tablets and ipad tablet essentially and you order off of the tablets and go
12:18 pm
to the kitchen and some much more lower paid worker brings the food to your table not a way around all, an errant person from the kitchen to you. i could see this happening. >> it is starting to happen already invested restaurants, burgers will be cooked by robots as well. we are going to see a massive shift of human labor trying to save labor in dollar increments. every hour i save protect my profitability. i have to attack those hours now. stuart: you want to see your weight staff and everyone else in the restaurant earned good money. that is what you want, but do you believe the best way to get there is legislation from the local city council? is that the way to go? >> that is not the way to go. free market is the way to go. abraham lincoln said you want to take care of the employees, protect the employer. where did that philosophy go. stuart: where is your next show? got to tell us.
