effective government. and it hasn't had that for a long, long time. melissa: how about little tiny limited government that does the couple things you need like national security. >> the smaller it is, the more control you would exercise over it. >> transparent government is what we need. government that is accountable to its people. >> you have to ask yourself -- i'm playing the devil's advocate. melissa: obviously as usual. that's why we invite you. >> obama expanded government dramatically. rolled out obamacare, it failed kind of. it was a crappy rollout. this is the backlash against it. you have to ask yourself, can hillary clinton run on that type of agenda even if she has the left pushing her toward that agenda? i wonder if that's politically possible. melissa: meanwhile iran not willing to sing kumbaya with america yet. the president won't agree to the iranian deal unless sanctions

are lifted. our triumph the biggest power in the world the us and the country's president acknowledge the fact that the iranian nation will never yield to pressure sanctions, and bullying. it sounds like this deal is working out swimmingly. >> we don't know how it will work out. what we're seeing now is the publicity prenegotiation. in other words, this is the iranian dream. this is what they want. this agreement is signed all sanctions disappear. they know it won't happen. we know it's not going to happen. melissa: i hope. >> each side is stating its maximalist position. >> they know how invested the president is. he's wait out there on this thing. it would be an enormous embarrassment to him if it falls apart. they'll push and push and push for more concessions. >> they're talking a lot of smack. you never talk smack, charlie gasparino. charlie: my first instinct was to be opposed to this. i know a lot of smart

people in diplomatic circles that is that iran is a secular country once you get the lunatics out of control. i will say this, does this mean they want to wipe israel off the face of the earth? these guys constantly say stuff like this. how do you deal with wackos like this. as secular as many of the younger people in iran the mullahs that run the place are totally insane. melissa: all technical terms. >> but totally true. melissa: his own personal redemption time in jamaica. the bob marley museum in kingston obama has been. i'm sure no one has smoked a joint. no. >> they don't inhale. melissa: anyone have a comment on this one? >> this is the thing to do in latin america this whole trip, i'm sure.

melissa: well watch the channel. please look. >> there's a bubble. what happened? did someone make a call? did your husband yell at you? melissa: no. i do think the equities are a bubble. private equity investors. not public companies we're talking about. i think equities are in a bubble. over a long period of time, you can't sit on the sideline. you get out when it pops then you lose. if you're in it 30 years, you'll make money. >> if i break it down in a manageable way, is the fed going to raise rates in a possible slowing economy, which looks like -- melissa: dudley said more likely than not this year. second half of this year. >> that doesn't mean june. if it's later in the year, that's good. i'd buy the market based on that. >> i think it will be later this year because of that jobs report on friday which was really depressing. terrible terrible report.

>> which brings us back to the earnings report. worst earning season since the third quarter of 2009 for companies. it seems like we took a step back. that 5% pop in gdp a couple quarters ago. now it seems like we've slowed again after not getting everybody back -- >> some of it is declining price of oil. some of it is strong dollar. exporters are being hurt. we've seen disparity between the gdp numbers and the employment numbers. now they seem to be converging at a mushy middle. >> we might have a zero gdp print. melissa: no. no. >> yes. it's possible. melissa: i want to move on to the most important story of the day. nasa is predicting we will find life on other planets in the next ten to 20 years. doesn't give us much time to prepare for an overlord. we'll give it a shot. this is ellen head of nasa. >> jerry brown. melissa: so here's the caveat. we're not talking about

my lovely panel. iran raises the stakes in yemen. deploying ships off the key port city in its first overt action. taking aim at hillary clinton. why carly fiorina is using her business background to carve out her own chance at the white house. more "money" coming pick ♪

♪ >> iran making -- yemen devolves into chaos. sending two warships into the gulf of eden. secretary of state john kerry says the us won't stand by as iran steps up their involvement in yemen. here's what he told pbs. >> iran needs to recognize that the united states (?) is not going to stand by while the region is

destabilized or while people engage you know, in overt warfare across lines, international boundaries in other countries. here melissa: here to discuss that by byron and judy miller. she's back with us as well. they're both fox news contributor. byron, let me start with you. secretary kerry says that on one hand, on the other hand, we're making a nuclear deal with iran. isn't that a mixed message? >> it is kind of weird. you know, we heard today from the top leaders of iran that this deal would have to be accompanied by a complete lifting of the sanctions on day one. obviously they're positioning themselves, but it's not a great sign for the continuing negotiations. on the other hand, it's very concerning these two iranian ships that have gone into the gulf of eden. it's very concerning.

we've done aerial refueling of this coalition that's fighting in yemen. and it seems hard to imagine that we won't have to do still more if we want to stop this insurgency. >> it's so incredibly dicey for us right now. it's clearly a proxy war that is going on between iran and saudi arabia. and saudi arabia is used to being our ally. here we are trying to make a deal with iran on nukes. and just a little ways away on yemen we're ostensibly on the other side. can anyone tell what we're doing? >> i think the iranians know what we're doing. that is, we're trying to make a nuclear deal with them. the war knows we're trying to make a deal that will delay them and their program on the nuclear side. dealing with their region ambitions is much harder as we're seeing because iran continues to have great ambition in the region. when the saudis went into yemen the iranians offelt they had to respond.

even though they were backing the houthi rebels that had taken control of most of the country saudis will not let the iranians exercise the influence they seek and want in yemen. >> this is a significant battle. right on saudis border. at the base of the red sea. so much commerce that goes through there. 10% of the world's commerce travels through this waterway. this can really blow up. >> that's the message of sending the two iranian warships in the area. the message being if we iran control yemen and the waters around it, we would be in a position to seriously disrupt international, commercial navigation. so there's no doubt that sending this just kicked this whole thing up a notch. >> yeah. byron thank you so much. we appreciate your time. jude hey, you have a new book out. it is called the story, a report's journey.

focuses on your reporting around the iraq war. getting a lot of buzz and attention. what in here would surprise people? >> i think what will surprise some people is the extent to which a lot of what we think of as kind of established narratives of how we went to war and why we went to war turn out not to be true. they require reexamination. i try to look in this book at what we did and why we did it. what we reported and why i reported it, and whether or not we were wrong and right and what difference it makes today. look, we have just been talking about iran. we depend on intelligence. what iran is doing, is that right? are we getting it right? do we have the reporting that we need about those motives? i don't know. >> it's a fascinating book. i can't wait to finish it. you need to talk about your 85 days in jail which is the thing i knew you for. i can't wait to finish it. i hope everyone gets it. thank you for coming on. a few stories on our radar right now, day two

spring, which we've had for the most part, it tends to make the pollen worse. also changes the way the trees bloom so we have a longer period of time where we have lots of pollen in the air. melissa: wow. so we really set ourselves up for this. after being punished all winter our reward is that we will itch for all of spring. some of the facts i was surprised about. 25% of the population suffers from some sort of allergy. pollen is the highest between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. that's when you get hit the hardest. i also thought that was my imagination. i'm like wow, this is really bad on the way to work. that's the worst time of day? >> it really is. if you're an allergy sufferer, you have to be careful if you're out and about on a spring day, bring that into the house, it will stay in your bed sheets and all that sort of thing and stay longer. >> should you change when you get inside? what do you do to avoid that?

>> i think you have to change very quickly and launder your bed sheets more frequently than you normally would. >> you can strip on your front porch and liven things up in the neighborhood in addition to keeping yourself safe from pollen. that could help as well. that was his idea, not mine. the money behind 2016 the battle is on for the hearts and minds for the american people. one of these guys just pulled in $31 million in a single week. this could change everything. the reviews are in, apple sending its watch to bloggers and editors across the country. but not me somehow. the feedback hasn't been that kind. we'll test that next though. piles of money coming back. ♪
