from "the wall street journal" we have james freeman with us as well. you know peter put the emphasis in the right spot to make some of those things sound a little more positive than the language says. when they talk about consumer spending, you know some growth in consumer spending with the pace of growth characterized as ranging from slight to moderate. that doesn't sound so good to me when you say it a little differently. what do you say, steve. >> describing like how the yankees played baseball last night, they got a couple extra runs but still lost 9-4. a batter hitting .250, when should be hitting .350. nothing that characterizes real speed. >> i think this is spin job to keep rates where they are. melissa: you think they're talking it down? >> they want their cake and eat it to. listen what she said or beige book said, peter reported, growth, with i is good for the president. not that good we have to raise interest rates. melissa: right. >> just before the 2014 midterms. melissa: none districts reported to distinct shift in the overall pace. >> l

i want to bring in james freeman. what is your reaction? >> it is good news if they say we'll start moving interest rates up but i think you would like to see this considerable time phrase eliminated. it should be now. janet yellen still doesn't seem quite ready to take away the punch bowl from wall street or washington. melissa: tom sullivan, everybody would have freaked out though. you look at market reacting to this which was relatively limited, if she had done what james said what would happen? >> i look at the dot chart and i think it is way overplayed because they have been keep pushing out the time when rates will keep going up. this is all an experiment on how they got into this. they're still in an experiment how to get out of it. melissa: yeah. >> at this point i think they're just clawing their way ad hoc until we get into the year. we'll see how it goes. i'm not so sure they need to raise interest rates right away. i don't think this economy is that healthy. melissa: charlie gasparino. >> there is no news in this. melissa: there

james freeman from the "wall street journal." james, let me start with you. what do you think of what the president had to say? >> is difficult with his rhetoric, goes back and forth. melissa: a lot of back and forth. >> saying it is a manageable problem. i'm thinking, i hope he recognizes the opportunity right now to strike while isis is kind of out in the open and -- melissa: see, feels like exact opposite. feels like he is hiding behind nato as an excuse to not act. what do you think? >> the whole op-ed with james cameron was quite laughable i have thought. cam ran says we're not taking this. neither one had a plan. and the president almost felt obligated to say, no, we're not taking this. hiding behind the big kid in the playground. melissa: right. >> that is how i feel like we're being perceived right now and it is not good. melissa: ken, for a lot of folks, they are worried because the president is not worried. >> this is good opportunity for nato to get together. there is vacuum here. why does the u.s. have to come up with policy and put our men and wo

back with us our very own charlie gasparino and "wall street journal" james freeman.er sign of the top. another $130 million condo. 60th and park. next to my church. >> i'm old enough to remember back to the '70s in new york. how disgusting this place was. i was born here. grew up in westchester county. in new york, there is almost never really a top. melissa: no? >> this is dynamic city in the sense a lot of people want to live here. melissa: a top in these assets and in the economy that the fed has fired up for the wealthy and left the middle class behind in. go ahead. >> there are no middle class here anymore. >> fed money printing manifesting itself. i asked a commercial real estate player in the city why did prices not correct after mayor bill because because got elected? the answer is william bratton. the police chief in new york city. people still feel comfortable. >> doing an amazing job. >> bratton is community activist you will see prices drop. melissa: okay. >> not a city of middle class people. melissa: no, not at all. not even close. move avoid, marriott

henninger, "wall street journal" columnist mary anastasia-o'grady and assistant editorial page editor james freeman join us. so, anastasia, stock market at record levels, but a kind of mediocre jobs report this week. where does the economy stand? >> i just want to say that i really admire the enthusiasm that president obama brought to that rally. i think that, yes, we're far better off than we were, for example, in the first quarter of this year, where there was a contraction in the economy. and in that sense, it's picking up and things are better. but the federal reserve had a report out this week that said middle-income families have not seen any wage gains, income gains from since before -- they're not caught up to where they were before the crash. >> not even close. >> so, there's stagnant income there. and i think there are a lot of other problems. for example, on unemployment. i mean, the unemployment numbers look good, but there's very low labor participation, and what qualifies for employment includes a lot of part-time jobs. so, you have a lot of the u.s. workforce working part time. that'

here to discuss it all, charlie gasparino, james freeman of "the wall street journal," james frischling, president of new oak. "60 minutes," is this the way to go? james, go ahead. charlie passes on that. >> so. >> i think, $10 million a day, that's fine. of the probably ought to be a little higher right now where out in the open. remember we're not, this is not a discussion whether we ought to try to run syria or runner rack. it is just, do we want to take out terrorists who would like to kill us? at that price, 3.6 billion a year, less than 1% of the defense budget. melissa: how about taking strategy to "60 minutes" on sunday. >> better than going on in between two firms where he took the health care debate. this probably better venue. the. melissa: what does it say to you though? steve kroft but they have been pretty soft lately. it says that you're going to a friendly crowd. >> something cheap about this though. you need money. you need to get the nation behind you to do something. you need your democratic base. so you go to "60 minutes?" >> i think nation, i think, i think the nati

i am asking "wall street journal" james freeman, why that seems to be obsession and not addressing reasonshy those companies are seeking out lower cost environments. good to have you, why james? >> thank you, neil, it is a mystery, we know we're not tracking about that much money. the implication of a report from congress' tax score keepers is we're talking about a small fraction of 1% of corporate tax revenue. but, when talk about root causes we were fortunate to break in our paper news of a international index of tax competitiveness from tax foundation, answer u.s. is throughout of 34 developed countries, we're close to last in terms of the least competitive tax system in the world for business. neil: i looked at that, a lot of people were seizingo it saying does that include real tax rate that companies pay. that is never a published top rate. you say? >> there is a miles -- miles thamyth, over 39% in united sta, when you count state taxes there is a myth that big companies pay nothing. and i think this myth is perhaps perpetrateed by a few examples of where green energy companies benef

freeman, seem wasted.... but it's the dolphins who are the real stars. it's a deans list "b" "the drop" stars "dark knight" villain, tom hardy and james gandolifin in his final film. it's a confused story about a soft-spoken bartender whose saloon is a drop-off point for the russian mafia's dirty money, dean say, the story is watered down by several unnecessary sub-plots... only one is interesting, thanks to gandolifini in his most "tony- soprano-ish" character. "skeleton twin" stars snl favorites kristen wigg and bigg hader, who play brother and sister brought together after 10 years apart. dean says, wigg and hader are great, but in a meandering story and overly artsy direction distracts from their genius, who came so close to charming several times, but could never seal the deal. it's a dean's list "c plus". >> the following program is brought to you by supple, the new, revolutionary health regeneration drink by supple, llc. >> hello, and welcome to the smart medicine show. i'm dr. monita poudyal, and we have a great show today. if you have pain or know someone that has pain - joint pain, back pain, bone pain, muscle pain, or if you suffer from arthritis,
