id to talk iran and it is not just the saudis who are snub snubbing us. problems are not going away from hillary. from the emails to a family problem that has nothing to do with bill. the nanny state taking a step too far. a fast-food ban in one of america's largest cities is backfiring in a major way. one last "american idol." the competition show that started it all set to its final bow. even when she say it's not it is always about money. melissa: scheduling issues or a royal snub? the white house scrambling to put a positive spin on an arab summit after at camp david after the saudi king and other leaders decided to skip it. >> i know that there have been some speculation that this change in travel plans was an

attempt to send a message to the united states. if so that message was not received because all the feedback that we have received, from the saudis has been positive. melissa: except for this. four of the six nations who got invites saudi arabia oman bahrain u.a.e. sent a last minute rsvp saying their deputy was be attending instead. i'm joined by judy miller, manhattan institute and fox news contributor. judy she is also the author of the phenomenal book, "the story." we don't want to leave that out. judy, go to you. there is no way to spin this. this is a snub? >> it is actually not a snub. melissa: what? >> i'll tell you why, the person actually running the kingdom of saudi arabia right now is the person who is coming to this summit. what it is, it is a miscommunication. 79-year-old king salman is ill. he has been ill for a long time.

i don't know why the white house thought he was coming but, 10 days ago the gulf institute said, hey, he is not coming. it was all over the internet. and the saudis just didn't get around to confirming it until yesterday. melissa: they didn't get around. it is all over the internet but they don't bother to go out and correct it. instead they let the president look like an idiot. how about bay rain? that is one of our closest allies in the region. host the navy fifth fleet. a tiny island. still the base from which our operations launch to go out to do patrols over iran. they're sending their -- i'm sorry, they are sending the crown prince as opposed to the prime minister who is the guy there who calls the shots. dan? >> well it looks to me like a fiasco to tell you the truth melissa. this is an incredible expression of disorganization on the part of the white house over something that is presumably a very big deal for them. convincing the gulf state leaders that they should sign on

to the deal that obama is striking with iran over its nuclear weapons. you, the cows are out of the barn on this one. obama is determined to do this deal with the iranians and the saudis and iranians qataris are just beside themselves over the potential that iran could get a nuclear weapon. they have said publicly if iran gets it, they're going to seek it too. what can obama do for them? melissa: judy if it is not a snub, four of the six people we invited are not coming so we're really bad at addressing invitation. >> right. the rsvp, push this button function. dan is right it does reflect what should worry all of us, extraordinary incompetence on part of the white house staff and the state department and u.s. government but surely by now we're used to that. what is going on in the region is a generational change. the people coming to the meeting whoever they are, are

authorized to make a deal if there is one to be made. the problem is there is no there there. what are they going to do? what they want the united states is not willing to deliver. they don't trust us to deliver what we say we will deliver. that is a tough one. melissa: new allegations in the cover up of killing of usama bin laden. pulitzer prize-winning journalist seymour hirsch, got to iran with pakistan's help dedespite saying it was all u.s. affair. white house stating there are too many baseless checks to fact check each one. there are astounding allegations, pakistan, basically captured bin laden and holding him since 2006. then they sold him to us. and that is why our navy seal team went in and unopposed. walked in and killed him and took him out. they say his body wasn't buried at sea. judy, what do you think of this.

>> two words we can't say on the air. one of them is bull. everyone i know involved in the effort to track and kill bin laden says there is nothing to this story. the person who hirsch quotes is isi former director who left 13 years ago and will say anything to get himself on tv. this is vintage classic seymour hirsch. when he is good he is very good. when he is bad he is awful. this is the awful. melissa: dan, do you think he is selling a book or something? >> he is selling himself. he has been away for a long time. what is publishing this in the london books, he couldn't get "the nation" magazine to publish this? this is like solar eclipse for once i am in complete agreement with the obama white house. melissa: we'll leave it there. dow and s&p trading lower. the dow in particular near session lows following a strong rally on friday's jobs report. let's go to nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange. she is watching one major mover

concerns raised by something like this? melissa: yeah. >> lawyers in california will be all over this. the google's biggest problem is with the lawyers not technology. melissa: three involved lexus suvs that google outfitted with sensors and computing power. this was supposed to make us much safer judy. >> i know. machines beat us at chess but i'm not sure they can beat us on the road. my husband think as self-driving car for improvement. melissa: for me, definitely improvement. i'm a terrible driver. i cast no stones. >> the problem is humans. we've been over this. if we all agree to let the machine drive the cars, we're okay. but the machine can't stop human from texting and driving not paying attention. melissa: but they're supposed to have sensor to get away from the car that is careening. >> they can't bo invisible. if you're sitting at a light. melissa: we're so glad you came. that is why you're here to point that out. thank you so much. five people are dead and a dozen are missing after a slew of tornadoes roared across states in tornado alley, wow.

reasons. we have declining revenue growth. one of the interesting things is decline in oil prices which is something a lost consumers benefited from with prices at dank but negatively impacted state budgets. melissa: so that hurt a lot of states. dan what do they do? they are not like the feds where they spend unlimited credit card and get away with it? a lot of states are required to have balanced budgets. >> they're required by law to balance budgets. they could cut their spending. melissa: that is terrible idea. no one ever does that. >> they have a dilemma. if you raise taxes you need a strong economy. we have a weak economy right now. i think one of the most interesting aspects of this report, very interesting report, is that people pay taxes. and they're having revenue shortfalls. that suggests that the labor participation rate we have talked about for so long which is so low now means fewer people in these states are actually working. what those states need is stronger economic growth and

than the united states is producing right now. melissa: some of the states have magic rain any day funds like california to borrow from but a lot of those have run dry. louisiana thinking about increasing cigarette tax, incredibly regressive. kansas might roll back a tax reduction they had in place. what do you think we end up seeing? >> at the end of the day the states will have to figure out a way to balance this. consumer has to realize this economy is still weak. they need to do what they can to make their own personal finances, as protected as possible. melissa: because the taxman cometh. don't you think that will happen because they have to raise revenue? >> politically they have to be careful. in maryland the guy, martin o'malley, the guy who thinks that he will run for president. he raised up to 50 taxes. in last election it was run by a republican against o'malley's tax increases. so they have to be careful about raising taxes. melissa: so you think they cut

melissa: breaking news right now. george zimmerman apparently shot as he sat in his car in florida. his attorney says another driver pulled up alongside zimmerman, and shot at him through the window. he says the bullet narrowly missed zimmerman and lodged in the car roof. responders rushed him to the

hospital. police say they have the suspect in custody. apparently the man has been involved in other incidents with zimmerman in the past. you will remember of course that sim every man fatally shot a black teenager, trayvon martin back in february of 2012. it is a case of government overreach gone bad. a fast-food ban in south l.a. was meant to improve the lives of resident by forcing them to eat healthier meals. go government. instead obesity rates have gone up. more health-conscious chains like chipolte are being pushed out. bruce terkel from terkel brands. lauren and brian are back as well. i love this, bruce, when they first put this into effect, seemed like perfect genius. get rid of anything with limited menu, with items prepared quickly, that served things in containers where there is not sit-down service. get rid of all that is affordable. probably fattening too. they go back over time and obesity rates have risen faster

in the area where they took this action than before. what do you think of that, bruce? >> i think it is simple. the problem is low wages, bad jobs and no opportunity. since we can't do anything about that we'll tell people they can't eat hamburgers. people want fast and cheap. they don't want slow and expensive. a shame we can't handle problems the way they need to be handled. melissa: brian, i kind of disagree with bruce. it is not higher wage. it is not government's problem to solve. it is people's problem to solve if they are going to be obese and overweight or not. what do you think, brian. >> unless they change proportions of containers, once we go out on the street we're on our own. melissa: we're on our own. >> we're able to tell where our home address is is and memorize our phone number. i think for the most part this whole operation was laughable. you want to go into schools, you have the thing called health class. explain not to have fried. have vegetables. have fruit. ultimately you're on your own.

you want the pizza once frozen or two or three times frozen and have it on the fourth day. that is truly an option. give people the option to eat healthy. you can't make them eat healthy. that is true for your children, melissa you can eat less. this boggle as my mind. this is not the government's problem to solve. they obviously are proving they are terrible at it. >> this is interesting from the budgeting perspective. in the '60s, we spent 11% of our take-home pay on food and 5% on health care. today we're buying less on food 10% of our budget but spending 16% on health care. clearly these things are related. melissa: if you thought olive garden bread sticks could not get better, i know i'm one of those people, you may be surprised, olive garden rolling out bread stick sandwiches. that is amazing. you can get a chicken parm or meatball sandwich. come with side of unlimit breadsticks. this sounds very, very wealthy

it is for starbucks. they will see higher profitable for this. for most people, two ounces less. u burr only saving 20 cents. for my money, go for the size small. >> right. melissa: bruce, what do you think real quick? >> i don't think it has to do with saving money. it has to do get being people to >@try it who wouldn't have ordinarily. you don't say no thanks. you overcome the guilt and suck it down. >> no financial planner lauren, can recommend you go to starbucks to think that is good investment no matter how big. melissa: anything at starbucks is a good investment. thank you very much. pulling ranks. one gop candidate climbing into new territory. dimming the lights on "american idol.." reality tv heavyweight signs off but somewhere brian is feeling vindicated.

her tenure at hp. i like the momentum an way she's going. republicans are giving her a hard look because they understand the electoral environment saying both parties have nominated a woman in the same cycle. >> running for vice president >> i don't think so that would be a little too on the nose. well you say you have a woman running for president we have vice president that is generally not how those things work. you say if you were voting for a woman to be president why pick the second slot so tick in reality she's going for the tom spot? >> speaking of how things don't you recallly work a lot of people thought that marco rubio would drop out when jeb bush and showed he was here to stay because they're both in florida so that divides up a very important spot. now, he's running a very strong number two and he seems to be keeping his momentum is he the biggest threat right now first of all? >> no question that marco rubio

is biggest threat to jeb bush that marco rubio is drinking out of the same cup as jeb bush he like having this long noncandidate city where he's gobbling up superpack money an getting big as a whale at least in economic officials he likes that parking lot. what he doesn't like is that people are switching to rubio establishment republicans and they think rubio would be effective running against hillary clinton. young hispanic new generation, and it has not old bush versus bush. >> thank you so much. >> standing by his side jeb bush revealing that he would done the same thing as his brother and evaded iraq in 2003. former governor speaking exclusively to fox news's megyn kelly. >> i would have so would have hillary clinton to reminding everybody and everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got. mistake?

>> retrospect not just the united states saw that it was faulty. in retro spect once he innovated, and took out saddam hussein we didn't focus on security in the secure environment. turned on the united states military because there was no security for themselves and their families. by the way, guess who think that those mistakes took place as well? george w. bush. >> airs tonight along with kerry so a big exclusive interview with megyn kelly and over liberty university gives his speech. he's been raising a lot of money on the side. but we haven't heard him really go out and talk to get to know people. how does he do on this? what kind of grade do you give him? >> high marks for how he handled it. bad he's talking about iraq

needs to put that behind him so lower marks in terms of pivoting conversation away from that. >> going to watch that tonight but megyn doesn't let you fifth anywhere. she has a question for you had you better answer it. >> maybe that is the function of megyn's strength. >> we saw marco rubio number two and jeb bush at the top these are two candidates talking about issues in substance both foreign policy and domestic policy they're two that people seem to be responding to. as for jeb bush and iraq he's a professional politician. he was down there in florida watching the brother through the entire presidency. i think that one thing where we wouldn't guess in another bush presidency is the repeat because he's seen mistakes that his brother made an he's not going to make those -- >> interrupt you for judy miller's book sir colleague friend here at fox. a book exactly all of this intel and how everyone was singing the same song here.

hillary kerry voted for the worst so hands are not clean. >> more problems, hillary clinton's brother tony rodham receiving front page treatment bit "new york times" today newspaper uncovering legal documents that rodham attempts to use the clinton foundation to make certain deals. man it feels like it never stops, same story again and again. he tried to make a 22 million dollar deal to rebuild homes in haiti. this thing with haiti keeps coming up how clinton swarmed in to rebuild the place. i don't know what it looks like right now or how much of that got done but he tried to get liz $22 million but to the greater public does it feel like more noise in the same vein? >> that is a bad thing for hillary clinton that it does feel that way. because you know last week kazakhstan and frank, and it all sounds like listen deal making and wheeling and dealing on a

large scale. you have two major figures here in new york state shelly silver and dean skelos who were both in deep trouble for fairly minor wheeling and dealing revty this not suggesting what they did was illegal. >> but the public -- very very anxious and depressed about it. >> can help them for trying to help their sibbing but this is a straw on the camel's back and put on clinton you don't want to just make a buck. that is what clintons have done exploited public service for their own good and for their own money. >> yeah what i was going to ask is if you continue this drum beat every week with another thing they did with dirty tricks money for power. do people get numb to it? or does it cement the idea that these guys are really dirty and you don't want them back in office? i'm not sure which, what do you think? >> i don't think you get numb to it anymore milk is a because social media and nature of the

media today it feeds on itself. i think democrats are going to get very, very nervous and anxious if about these continual shoes dropping around the clintons. and -- it will be something else. >> it is mother's day who are you going to call? >> hillary clinton celebrating the date by ringing five different moms. lucky winners chosen by a fund raiding contest from the clinton campaign. not to be outdone president obama surprising like the mom off. hillary clinton was on the phone and obama is like wait, wait, wait we have to call moms dot same thing what do you think? >> everything for the clinton is scripted hillary runs risk much being the romney for democrats. she's very stilted so she's trying to craft i'm a mom, grandmother but i think it is beginning to backfire you put her on a stage next to marco rubio it took her moist give a speech to ucla in the time it took marco rubio to pay 16 years

i wound for simon signed off on this, though. end of the day all about money. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

melissa: whether it's on wall street or main street here's who is making and spending money today. including anyone who wants to buy this impressive work of art. it's by pablo picasso. it could become the most expensive painting to sell at auction. bidding starts at christie's in new york. experts think it will fetch more than 140 million bucks. i actually don't love it that much. a piece by artist bacon holds the current record selling for 142 million back in 2013. that is amazing. i'm not sure we could show that on tv. but too late. the end of an era. american idol will be eliminated next year after 15 seasons on the air.
