tv MONEY With Melissa Francis FOX Business April 21, 2015 2:00pm-3:01pm EDT
2:00 pm
meantime as promised, "money" starts now. melissa francis is here. melissa: all right, not backing down fighter jets flying off the deck of the uss theodore roosevelt as it steep to the coast of yemen. it is mission? to keep iran's nine-ship convoy from supplying rebels. retired four-star general jack keane is here. hillary clinton's next target, the 1%er. hillary clinton, the messenger for income inequality. oh, boy. how is this for entrepreneurial spirit? a 2 of-year-old woman who calls herself a professional bridesmaid. doctor 26. we'll talk to her. boldly going where no one has gone before, how william shatner plans to solve california's drought crisis. even when they say it's not, it is always about money.
2:01 pm
melissa: the clintons taking the term limousine liberal to whole new level. "new york times" claiming that hillary clinton spoke to economists about toppling the 1% earlier this year. hmmm. while clinton was playing the populist, she was reportedly peddling influence by millions of dollars. by millions we say hundred of millions. the coming book, clinton cache. this is what they have coming for them -- clinton cache. but the, democratic front-runner tight-lipped. we're having all kinds of distractions and attacks. i'm ready for that. i know that comes unfortunately with the care territory. i think it is other noting that the republicans seem to be tucking only about me -- talking only about me. melissa: she is ready for all kinds of distractions and attacks. that is what she says. very own charlie gasparino. rich lowery, "national review,"
2:02 pm
fox news contributor. gretchen hamel, high line strategies. thanks to all of you for joining us. rich they're distractions. they're attacks. basically made 100 to $200 million out of thin air because they're great speakers. >> this is incredible. these are people who profited out of being at the very top of our political system. never created a business. never keith created a service anyone would want. they look down with contempt and want to quote-unquote topple people who have gotten wealthy actually through doing that i think the way to look at inequality in our society, we want people from the bottom to rise. you don't want to attack and disparage and bring down people at the top. that is class warfare. that is what she is talking about. melissa: sold access, gretchen. they have never made or sold a product. it is access. >> they are the product, right? here she is, wanting to topple the 1%. runs counter to the american dream. instead of breaking glass ceiling by entering the white house, she is putting a
2:03 pm
glass ceiling on the american dream. this runs counter to everything we believe. >> about a month 1/2 ago i wrote a column in "new york post," wall street was bracing for just this. the word on the street from the fat cats, the 1%, this is a game. she is going to verbally attack them. at some point go back to as one fat cat put it, go back to normal. it is pretty cynical attempt to -- melissa: what does that have to do with her getting hammered for all of this money? >> i say her attacking 1% is rhetoric. >> it is lip service. >> it is lip service. this is the real hillary clinton. you know what is interesting, the media if you go beyond the post, it is really not getting as much traction i mean i would think -- melissa: i don't know "new york times"? it was in the "new york times." that is the first place it came out. i think it is getting there. >> seems to be a bigger story than getting played. i just wonder if we'll see the media roll over for her. >> we will have to see. we don't have details of this book yet. melissa: positive on because we
2:04 pm
have breaking news. 37-year-old futures trader arrested in the united kingdom for his role in the 2010 "flash crash." he has been charged with u.s. wire fraud and commodities fraud. u.s. requesting his extradition. what do you make of this? >> impossible to know just from the headlines and from the press release and from the indictment right now someone in my view is innocent until they're proven guilty. i don't take anything the justice department does, particularly five years later at face value. it is suggested, if you read the press release and particularly the stories coming out afterwards, it suggested that they're trying to pin the "flash crash" on this one dude. it sounds so absurd. just from my, i covered the "flash crash." i was actually here. just got to fox business at the time. there was a lot of reasons why there were misprints on proctor & gamble, on the trading that day. melissa: right. >> maybe his high speed fin
2:05 pm
nation link caused it to go down further. justice department has a high bar blaming that whole screw-up on him. melissa: speaking of markets let's talk about them a second. dollar gain looking like wall street's loss. dupont and harley-davidson both suffering today on earnings blaming the dollar for lackluster sales. dupont's losses dragging the dow into the red which is at session lows right now. gretchen, what do you make of it? >> dollar being strong, good thing, bad thing. other areas are suffering because of this. look at white of beef and rice price of wheat. in my home state of texas it makes a big deal when ag, parters are not -- farmers are not able to make as much money off these commodities. >> nelson peltz launch ad fairly aggressive play for dupont to change. that is nelson peltz. they want board members. now, it is only so much you can
2:06 pm
blame the strong dollar on some of this stuff. i think this this gives -- melissa: it is up 30% year-over-year. that's a big move, whether your products are priced in dollars or selling them in other nations that's a challenge. a 20-year-old alabama resident apparently leaving her suburban home in an attempt to join isis in syria. a spokesman for the family claims the woman was recruited via the internet after withdrawing from the muslim community. i feel like, rich, we have one of these stories every day. >> amazing got her a phone as a gift. thought she was acting strangely. all parents are worried what they are doing with the phone. almost like the "snl" skit, she gets out of car and says, dad i'm heading off to isis. unimaginable to rational western viewpoint would be attractive about a group whose main propaganda consists of beheading and burning people? that is their message.
2:07 pm
>> what they do to women. to think anyone would go online to join this. family is extremely traumatized for months. they are in contact with law enforcement. they're pleading with her to come home. you don't hear of people being allowed to leave isis. this is troubling. >> a whole another layer parent have to worry about. how are they going after finding individuals, teenagers, young adults and impressionable people and how do they appeal to them? we have to understand the psychology. we have to arm parents and other folks to prevent night how about immigration policy? maybe i'm missing something here, there has to be some linkage to an immigration policy that allows anybody with a heartbeat -- melissa: she is leave egg the country. >> her family came from somewhere. >> that is the ultimate threat. leaving is one thing. that's bad. it is coming back is scary. melissa: restaurant owners in los angeles pushing a new approach to the minimum wage business advocates now saying
2:08 pm
tips should be counted toward the amount that they are required to pay workers. this comes as los angeles attempts to push its minimum wage over $15 an hour. rich lowery, i love this, this is the response. restaurants are trying to figure out how they will deal with this they see the movement. it is in l.a. they know the business that government is against them as small business. how do we deal with this? we'll lump in the tips that will be a way to get to 15 bucks an hour. >> this is part of money these folks make. a lot of these businesses are low-profit margin businesses who are looking at the alternative either keeping everyone they have currently or letting people go or maybe ultimately shutting down. melissa: you can go out of business. raise price for your product. have the people who work there, work fewer hours or fire them. they're trying to find a way to keep their business going. >> i'm old enough to remember we used to keep the tips, not have to declare it as taxable income. melissa: i think you were cheating the government then. that was tax evasion.
2:09 pm
>> did he just say that on tv? i want to make it clear. >> teenage years at the time. in any event, my dad did it too. he was bartender. he is dead unfortunately. what they're doing is completely legal. those tips are taxable income. they can be lumped in with the wage rate with whatever it is. that is completely legal. melissa: well, i don't know. there is different minimum wage if you're a tipped employee. that is like $2. they're trying to say, you know, they're trying to skirt that rule a little bit i think. >> why can't you add it? melissa: because it's a different minimum wage rate. there is one that is lower if you're a tipped employee. i'm not sure how they will actually do this. this is interesting idea. one new york high-rise doing nothing to deter rental demand despite using different entry than luxury units. people are flocking to the lower cost option. get this, 88,000 people applied
2:10 pm
for 55 apartment units. so if you don't live here this, was a huge controversy. really nice neighborhood on the west side. it is enormous building that span as couple different blocks. on one side, water side they have very expensive apartments. on other side they did part of them as affordable housing, low-income housing to get a better tax structure for whole unit. people said that is awful. poor door on one side for people in there. nobody will want to do that lo and behold, you have these affordable units, one bedroom for 895, which you could never get anywhere in new york. people flocked there. i will use any door you want. not poor door. it is smart door. it is i have a brain door. i want that door. >> shows you how perverse liberal system in this city. my mother grew up in a tenement in little italy. this is so far from -- melissa: stunning, brand new housing. it face nominal. >> everyone in new york is desperate for affordable housing especially in nice neighborhoods. so as you say, it doesn't matter
2:11 pm
what the door is, where the door is or what the door looks like. melissa: through the basement whatever it is. that looks great. thanks guys. the white house is getting desperate for a nuclear deal. officials not ruling out a $50 billion bonus a signing bonus to iran. all they have to do is sign on the dotted line. plus too much of a good thing. why taking too many vitamins could increase your chances of getting cancer. we've got all the details on this shocking new research. more "money" and answers coming up.
2:14 pm
2:15 pm
thanks so much for coming on the show. what do you think is the significance of this confrontation? >> well this is pretty significant, melissa. what the iranians are up to here, using their proxies, the houthis, they want to gain political and military control of yemen. as a result they would have a port on the gulf of aden. they would establish a naval base there. they could bring in antishipping mines and antishipping missiles and gain political advantage over the straits that controls all egress and ingress for the suez canal. big deal for iranians. what happened the saudi air campaign they're leading with others shut down the airfields so that they no longer can resupply the houthis. now they're attempting to do it by sea. obviously as you point out there is potential for confrontation here. deirdre: we're seems like rolling towards inevitable confrontation.
2:16 pm
that what is concerns me. we have an aircraft carrier we have sort of shadowing the iranian fleet armada moving in the area. it seems like this ends in some sort of a conflict? >> yeah, we don't really need the aircraft carrier to, you know to block the iranians from entering yemen sea space or to bored them obviously. but what the aircraft carrier brings with it, the aircraft on it. those aircraft right now guaranty you are doing reconnaissance over the iranian flotilla as it moves out of the persian gulf and moves into the gulf of aden. so that is probably happening literally as we speak. and the aircraft carrier also is a huge deterrence. that is what we want here. melissa: general, i want to interrupt you for a second because we're getting breaking news right now. the saudi-led coalition is announcing end of military operations. i need a little more information on that because i can't imagine that we're talking about in yemen. are we talking about in the situation against isis?
2:17 pm
can you guys help me in the booth, tell me what area we're talking about? in yemen. this is according to state tv. that is amazing. jack keane, what is your reaction in that? >> i don't know what the motivation would be for them to call off the air campaign when this thing is completely unresolved. unless they're working out some political situation, you know with the houthis in coming to some kind of a consideration there. other than that it doesn't make much sense to me. melissa: they're saying they're going to focus on security, counterterrorism aid and resolution i believe was the last, here we go coming across now. i mean the timing of this is pretty shocking. general keane? >> yeah. well, listen, to be frank about it melissa the air campaign has been very limited. what the saudis and the other countries that are supporting them and flying that air
2:18 pm
campaign they only fly during the day. they don't have training skills to fly like we do. most of our train sorties are flown at night. those airstrikes are very limited in terms of their impact. the houthis have been able to move freely at night, to resupply their forces and also to conduct troop movements at night. so it begs the question here awe effective all of that has been. melissa: it also begs the question then why are we sending an aircraft courier into the -- carrier into the region or any sort of forces in the water if it's a proxy battle between saudi arabia and iran and now saudi arabia is saying they will not be invested any longer? >> this is clearly in the united states national interest. first of all iran seeking domination of the region after lebanon syria, what they're trying in iraq and yemen is pretty clear to anybody looking
2:19 pm
at it. that is certainly not in the interest of the region, stability of the region and our own interests. as we have, as you know melissa we have aqap in yemen. the reason why they exist is to conduct out of region the tax in europe and against the united states which they have done and have done successfully in europe also tried and failed to conduct attacks in the united states they are a direct threat to the american people. we lost our base there, that is critical for us. there are things we can do offshore and also from saudi arabia. in terms of the cia, covert operations and what we can do with drones, et cetera. knock like having a base to conduct operations. melissa: campaign of air vikes in yemen succeeded removing the threats to the kingdom and other regional countries there knit a lot of evidence that is the
2:20 pm
case. general jack keane. we appreciate your time. >> no evidence whatsoever. melissa: right. egyptian courts throw the book at their deposed president. put it this way, mohammed morsi shouldn't make any plans for the next couple decades. plus the solution eight-lech solution to your aches an pains. spiders could be the next solution in your medicine cabinet, coming up. ♪ when a moment spontaneously turns romantic why pause to take a pill? and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right.
