, and the big mac is going to cost $7.25, but to call mcdonald's a dirty business, it's outrageous. they serve incredibly good food. i get sick when i eat at the high-end places in manhattan. >> i get sick when i am at the table -- >> i couldn't care if you want to kill yourself, that stuff is bad for you. >> in all seriousness, the argument for this, and i have had a lot of activists coming on, and they argue we will be happy to pay, americans will be happy to pay a little more, and i am looking at what happens to mcdonald's, and walmart warned consumers were drenching a little, with wages being what they are, and minimum hourly wages being what they are, then this cannot be a good look for things to come. >> we see that every week in the jobless data, and when it comes to average wages in the country, that's true. don't for get, what we have been seeing with commodity costs, yes, a lot of us like our beef and burgers, charlie excluded. >> i like a good steak, but you don't get it at mcdonald's. >> cheryl was making a brilliant point. >> the fact

you have created that makes the mcdonald's and the wal-marts as -- >> i like mcdonald's, and julia childs loves a big a mac i do, too. what i am opposed to -- neil, keep in mind, mcdonald's made $5.5 billion in profit last year. they could raise the wages of their workers by a very -- fran fries chosenner --- -- franchise. >> you don't know how the franchise -- >> i do know. they made $240,000 last year. >> an agenda when you went after this harvey korman over the cliff thing they did. that anyone that tries to ring in the growing of go entitlement is depicted as evil or a company with the curse of making a lot of money into change everything. >> no, listen, the fast-food companies got $8 billion last year from the american taxpayers. to subsidize people they're spoke supposed be to employing. why are we as taxpayers dirks. >> line, if you care so much for those taxpayers, and those taxpayers were told to increase the minimum wage, mcdonald's will church you more for burgers or fries do you think they would go along with that? the history of value meals suggest when companies pull them back, they do not. >

mcdonald's yield like a big mac. you can see this in how the market's reacted to the quarters.tle reported results that would have sent stocks soaring if they had been reporting -- reported say any time in 2013. but this is a new environment which is why the quarter caused the stock to drop 6% in the single session. first the good. the company posted a phenomenal 13.4% increase in same-store sales. that is much better than the 9% gain we had been expecting. this has been the key metric we cared about for the slow growth period coming out of the great recession. in this market you need more than explosive sales growth. chipotle missed wall street's earnings estimates dramatically because they're investing money to grow the business and huge rise in food costs up 150 basis points to 34.5% of the company's revenue. these guys are getting killed by higher beef, cheese and especially avocado prices. something i know about because i run my own mexican restaurant in brooklyn and my food supplier, my guacamole guy are taking me to the cleaners because i'm a sole operator. even the guac

mcdonald's. he had a big mac and fries inside. we could smell it. it was that. we did ask him about the topic on everybody's mind, coca-cola. >> there was a story in today's "wall street journal" that suggested that coca-cola heard that and the management may not be doling out those shares and options as quickly as originally planned. do you know anything about that? >> i wouldn't be surprised. they're going to look at it, certainly. with us abstaining with a fair amount of no votes. what they authorized at this meeting the other day, they don't have to do. they can spread it over a longer period of time. we'll see what they do. but they've listened to shareholders before. maybe they'll listen again. >> have you talked to muhtar kent about the vote. >> no, i've talked to no one about it. >> not even the director. >> no, not even my hon, howard buffett. >> he voted in favor of the equity plan like the rest of the board did. that's the same plan warren buffett abstained from voting on. berkshire hathaway has 9.1% of the shares outstanding that no vote was champion

melissa: the mac attack in second day as hundreds of protesters target mcdonald's shareholder meeting. workers and activists calling for $15 minimum wage and pay cut for ceo don thompson. let's bring in our panel. fox business's charlie gasparino of course and "wall street journal" veronica daguerre and a and g capital hilary kramer. thanks to all three of you for joining us. hillary, what do you think about this. >> mcdonald's is never going to raise the minimum wage and franchise owners, make 70, $80,000 a year. they make $100 a week. they pay the price if minimum wage went up to $15 an hour. mcdonald's need more healthy and get more people in there and maybe they would have the money. melissa: are wages set at this level or local level? aren't 0% of the restaurants owned by franchisees, veronica? >> franchisees bear the brunt of this and determine how many people get paid. this will propagate automation. we're seeing this in a lost mcdonald's, a lot of fast-foods in general. this will encourage them to do it more. melissa: charlie, you go to mcdonald's every day? never. >> i don't

a big mac is like -- you have something, they're not trying to make it as a promotion or mcdonald's.ot on the main menu. >> is part of the reason because it crisis some people out of the market? a it is not meant to be low-cost option on their menu. it is for employees and in line with average prices for a meal. >> how to mcdonald's operations in brazil compared to other latin american companies? >> there under a franchise that controls the region. it is really focused in brazil and then they have argentina and venezuela and mass go. brazil is a massive market for them and it is huge. in general, with foreign companies in latin america, even though brazil has strong regulations that can be perceived as anti-market friendly, you cannot not be in brazil. us here you for joining at coming up, i will speak with the man credited for making the first arcade game. the next hour to talk about apple as well as what kinds of jobs you and get in your back pocket. text eels. and, and openly -- tech skills. player has to gay get past a pesky anti-gay employment law. ♪ >> an historic moment for th

i know people go to mcdonald's and say well, i'm going get a big mac and fries, but i'm getting a dietle roll their eyes and say really? to me it's a few hundred calories less. >> absolutely. that's what you have to think about. if you're somebody who drinks sugar-sweetened beverages every day, then drinking a diet soda is absolutely going to be better for you. when you look at the long-term benefits of diet soda drinking, you know, the results aren't as clear. some studies show people gained more weight over time. some studies linked diet sodas to poor health outcomes. so you have to look at the overall quality of the diet. >> does diet soda, i've also heard people say, well, it makes you hungrier. even though it's diet, you end up eating more and gaining more weight. other people saying, no because it tastes sweet, i don't want that cookie. what do you think? does it actually make you eat more to drink a diet soda? >> the results aren't clear here either. some studies do suggest when you drink something sweet, your brain expects a calorie payoff. maybe you're digging into the cookie

mcdonald's is going to weather whatever comes about. i think the stock is up 20% by year end. >> jonas, looks like he never had a big mac in his life. >> that stock is not in my happy meal. >> john, your prediction? >> go with the triple crown of the preakness, and cisco is also a runner, up 20% by the end of the year. >> i love the connection. couldn't understand it. it had a big leak. wait for a pullback. >> jonas, your prediction. >> "godzilla" back in the movies, and an oil company is the future, up 15%. >> john, bull or bear? >> how about that connection, i am a bear. >> tracy? >> you have to love the brits, they did a study that said swearing is harmless and unleashes emotional stress, and i feel bleeping better whenever i swear. >> john, join in? >> my mom watches the please, watch your mouth. >> neil is next. >>> government waste gone wild. a whistle blower blowing the leadoff obamacare contract workers getting paid to do nothing. >> now, his voice was not modulat modulated, he sounded like that. that could have been a tell tale sign. and th

like mcdonald's, for example, i've done some research myself, and if they raise the prizes of the pig macf the big mac just 20 cents, they would be able to pay all of their workers $15 an hour no problem. melissa: i mean, i don't want to argue statistics. u-mass amherst found pushing the minimum wage to $15 would raise prices by 50 president. when you go out to eat, could you afford to pay more for these items? >> well, see, the thing is that right now i wouldn't be able to afford it. right now i only make $9.25. but if my pay was increased, i would be able to afford it, you know? i would love to shop locally, but i can't. it's way too expensive, you know? melissa: by that logic, they're giving you more money, and you're giving it right back to them. isn't that frustrating? >> i mean, not really. i believe that it'll actually help the economy grow. melissa: okay. you're 24 years old. have you taken steps, i mean, this is supposed to be an entry-level job. are you taking steps in your life to do something else down the line? what do you see for your future? >> oh, yes. right now i actually

and if you think you can pay someone $10.10 an hour to work at mcdonald's and will have no cost impact on your big macsor not you are living in a fantasy world. and that is what mr. mayfield says. and he says that i have to raise prices if this happens, and what makes it worse is obamacare is hanging over her head. and i heard this again from a friend of mine from san antonio. a gentleman whose family is running restaurants for many years. he said the combination of obamacare and now this proposal and wage increase -- i'll tell you exactly what he told me. and if congress lets the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour, we will have no choice but to replace that. and this includes knowledge or awareness of what the consequences might be. i'm not suggesting to any of our friends who are advocating this increase. we want but that single mom out of work. and we are counting the folks that actually do the work and this is a bad idea in terms of the economy. and we recently signed expressing their opposition to this 40% minimum wage hike. threatening this delicate balance, that is what robert mayfield says. and we

so you think you could pay somebody $10.10 an hour to work in a mcdonald's and it won't have an impact on the cost of your big mac? well, you're living in a fantasy world if you think it won't have an impact. and that's what mr. mayfield says. but he says i have to raise prices if this happens, and sometimes the market won't bear it. so in the end jobs will be lost and service will suffer. he says the people in congress wanting to pass the minimum wage bill don't know anything more about how a business works than a hog knows about sunday school. what makes it worse is obamacare is hanging over our heads. and i heard this again today from a friend of mine from san antonio, louie barrios whose family has run mexican restaurants in san antonio for many years. he says the combination of obamacare and now this proposed minimum wage increase, i'll tell you exactly what he said. right now we would like to pay a single mom who is working in our restaurants to take orders, he said if congress lifts the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, we will have no choice but to replace that server, that waitress with an ipad. that's wha

mcdonald's 'cause something close to there. and they were like - [ french accent ] ah no, no, no. and then after the fifth try someone was like -- [ french accent ] "ah, macnch accent ] eh big mac. royale with cheese. >> that's the other thing. ordering food when you're sort of in a country where they don't speak any english and you're looking and thinking what am i ordering? but it's easy. so what you do is go -- [ moo ] and they're like oh. and then you go - [ clucking ] [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, that's not right. that's not how you order food. that's not true. >> of course it's true. and this is fish. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's not fish at all. x-men movie. fantastic. "days of future past." congratulations, another great x-men movie. this one, it's killer, you guys have to see it. it's so good. this one, you play a younger version obviously of magneto and kind of team up with your older self, kind of. >> yeah, it's weird. >> jimmy: it's kind of a tricky plot to talk about. >> i didn't really, sort of, get to do a scene with ian mckellen. we flipped a coin, and james and patrick won the toss. so the two of them had a scene together. i didn't actuall

mac and simple pay more money or not? >> they had very specific demands. >> they do, $15 per hour. >> and the right to form a union? >> mcdonaldy do not have a corporate policy but 80% of the restaurants or franchisee-owned. >> the number two photo -- this is not darth vader - this is the kiev mayoral candidate for the internet artie. -- internet party. he is pledging antigravity tripods for journalists. i have no idea what that means. >> how many people were killed in the eastern ukraine overnight? >> 11. campiness and it's great except it's not campy. >> there is nothing funny about this. why would you dress up as darth vader. maybe there is a subtlety we don't understand. our number one photo of the day -- the september 11 memorial and museum opens to the public yesterday. the firemen hold the night -- national 9/11 flag before was put in the permanent collection and the flight was found buried in the wreckage of ground zero. it's quite a photo. >> that's a terrific job. i have to mention michael mckee who was directly involved with 9/11. he was at the bottom of the towers. >> he was one of many of thousands covered from he

of the smallest group of vintners, one of those being at vision cellars, owned and operated by mac mcdonald. the winery only produces about 2,000 cases of wine, mostly pinot noir, but what they lack in size, they more than make up with in personality, thanks to the man in charge. >> ha ha ha ha ha! how you doin', man? >> i'm doin' great. >> are you havin' a great time >> havin' a great time. >> in the wine business, everyone is trying to get their bottle of wine noticed, but for mac mcdonald, being noticed in a crowd has never been a problem. from his overalls to his straw hat, mac is about as an original character to the wine industry as it comes, but he's banking on exactly that fact as he tries to bridge the gap between his heritage and a new blend of wine drinkers. >> it's to promote wine to all nationalities, but with special interest on the african-american community. and i think that it's good for the wine industry. i don't say you have to drink african-american wine. i just want folks to drink wine. you may not like vision cellars phnot noir. that's ok. >> and mac couldn't have come
