not, it is always about money. melissa: if the government was aiming for scandal it just scored a hat trick. the irs not just keeping tax cheats on the payroll but promoting them. over pentagon employees, charging gambling and escorts to their government credit cards. a va worker has the same taste for adult entertainment with hundreds of thousands of dollars of stolen money. charles payne host of making money. jack you've hough. we're waiting for charles payne. he is in so demand. >> i can't wait. melissa: he is that's right. >> which one do you want to start with. melissa: start with the irs. >> right. melissa: refusing to fire workers that they found cheatings on their taxes. >> yeah. melissa: 60% of the cases involved willful violations.

1580 deemed to intentionally cheated on their taxes. >> only thing i can think of these folks must be hard to fire because they're union workers. i never quite understood how you have a labor union supposed to help you gain leverage against person that pays your wages. but in this case the taxpayers are paying wages. we have union that fights against us to prevent these, prevent the irs from betting rid of people who are cheating on their taxes. melissa: these are the people policing us, making sure we're paying our taxes and they're not paying their taxes. gregg jarrett, let me ask you about the defense department audit that found pentagon employees using their government credit cards to gamble and pay for adult entertainment. >> it is so stupid because i always use my personal credit card for hookers -- melissa: you would think. >> and gambling and stuff. what dib tushes me is that these people who are really stupid are working at the pentagon you know. they're the ones who have the finger on the trigger. melissa: the point with the credit cards though one they have made about the pentagon thing is, they were using the

pentagon cards to hide it from their spouse. >> right. melissa: they're not afraid for the government to know that they're getting, using escort services and that. they don't want their spouse to know. >> they counted 900 visits. spending was almost $100,000. according to my math but i don't go to the places but that is a $1000 a visit. >> their solution once they got caught, the pentagon, says we will tell the people it is against policy. hello. it is against the law, converting to personal use government property. melissa: other thing that drivers me crazy about the thing always details come out through an investigation with the inspector general in their particular department. you don't hear more about it. like it comes out they have done it but then no one gets punished. it just sort of sits there. for example, in the with the va. a federal former federal employee in michigan admitted to embezzling $150,000 from the va

spending it on addiction to gambling prostitutes and strippers, including lap dancers from a stripper named ashley. >> most of the money went to ashley. $150,000. what the va didn't do is check when they hired this guy he is an ex-con, with a long criminal record. are you kidding. they hired him. >> ashley seems to have real skill for balancing the books. maybe the va should look into a hire. melissa: exactly. all right. don't count your government out yet. the obama administration is all over the real crime in this country the size of the billboards in times square. i wish i was kidding about this story. the feds telling new york to pull down many of the iconic knee i don't know-lit -- neon lit signs. a 2012 law limiting billboards applied to types square. only took the government three years to catch on. 1965 highway beautification act

which limits signs to 1200 square feet. the feds were walking around times square said, wait a second, these are bigger than that! >> the signs in times square are as iconic as underpants cowboy and dirty elmo. i don't envision without doing them anytime. >> we talked to the federal highway administration. they're backing off. saying, we really didn't intend to yank $90 million in federal fund to you guys. we'll, we have been working for a year they say on a solution. they could write it in 10 seconds, you are hereby exempt, times square. melissa: but there has to be more to it right? what it that they want? why did they come in picking on them. the signs make $23 million annually. >> they are thugs. they're the federal government composed a lot of stupid people who nothing better to do. melissa: thanks for sticking with us. the senate opening to the floor of first of two votes on the iran bill. the proposal would give congress a chance to weigh in on any

president meddling in british politics f the president was trying to give his bro david cameron a boost at the polls, it does not appear to have helped much. polls show that conservative cameron is in a dead-heat with labour party leader ed miliband, with neither party likely to win a majority of seats in the house of commons which means whoever gets the most seats today, likely will have to, form a coalition government with one of the three other smaller parties that are competing in this election. the polls close in britain at 10:00. and that means, 5:00 eastern time back here in the colonies. melissa, back to you. melissa: peter, thank you so much. stocks near session highs, powering higher after two straight sessions in the red. let's go to nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange who is watching three big movers now. nicole. >> indeed melissa. let's start off with yelp. yelp was halted and resumed trading on reports from the "wall street journal" and

on top standing for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. liberal arts and humanities bringing up the rear. my panel is back to discuss. charles made it. charles payne in the house. >> okay. melissa: i will go to you first. they compared pet troll yum engineers who earn 4.$8 million through their career, $136,000 a year. which is triple what someone made who majored in early childhood education. >> i know. it is, hey, listen, here's the thing. most of the people who take these courses know what they're getting into. it is okay. it is their calling. they are okay if they make 35 or 40 grand a year. after a few years making that, paying back student loans they get upset. those are target voters. raise taxes on petroleum engineers. something not right, not fair. pay my student loan. everybody is cool with it through the college first couple years. as the bills mount up people get angry.

melissa: okay. >> any younger viewers deciding what to study, study science. if you learn physics in school, decide later want to go to wall street, people on wall street know you're smart enough to do the job. if you study some other wishy-washy field. stay away from journalism. i don't want the competition. melissa: stay away from journalism. early childhood education we need teachers but it sadly doesn't pay anything. talk about science careers. those are the same. biology majors for example make a third less than physicists. are you physicist? >> no. that is one of the things i'm not. i'm actually a lawyer by trade. melissa: right. >> don't hold that against me. we all sin. but interestingly, if the biology major goes on and gets an advanced degree, then they do make as much as physicists, which i found really interesting. melissa: okay. >> but i want to get back and get petroleum engineering degree. work for harmed ham. >> up in north dakota.

that is only thing. >> harold down in oklahoma city. i'm available, harold. melissa: thanks, guys. he can run from the cops but no escaping the mcdonald's makeover machine because there is nothing cooler than a burger stealing bandit looks like he grills them on the weekend for his kids. wait until you see his shoes. tom brady gets sacked like never before. think about what the "deflategate" scandals teaches the next generation.

heart around seemed like it needed investigation. two groups. one on a low-carb diet. but they added 42 grams of dark chocolate daily. the third group got to eat whatever the heck they wanted. the group with the chocolate lost 10% more weight and kept it off longer than the group following the better diet with just the caches and not carbs. that is amazing to me. why did the chocolate help them lose more weight? >> i think two things are going on here. we know dark chocolate with 80% cocoa or more serves as antioxident and promotes the growth of lean muscle. however i think it is more psychological. if you get a taste of something good every day, in the midst of an exclusionary diet you're more likely to stick to that diet. i think that is probably the biggest reason they lost more weight. melissa: i think so too because you talk about building more lean muscle. that weighs, that weighs more. so if you have muscle in your body that will not help you lose more weight?

>> no the way it can help though muscle burns more calories because it metabolizes more sugars in your body and uses more nutrients. so it burns calories faster when you have muscle mass, particularly doing weight workouts and things like that. but i think it is all about giving yourself a little taste of the chocolate every day. melissa: that's what i think. >> absolutely. melissa: you're more likely not feel deprived and stick to the rest of your diet but in the meantime you have to be careful not to overdo it on the chocolate. another study report finds high blood sugar levels can trigger alzheimer's disease. researchers discovered elevated blood sugar levels can increase level of toxic proteins that damage the brain. so you weigh less but have alzheimer's. that is no good. >> that is no good. what we have found out looking at diabetes research that when you have high levels of blood sugar it promotes formation of a particular protein that is deposited in the brain. that is associated with alzheimer's.
