we will come to "forbes on fox" let's go with mr. steve forbes, saab brianna shaver and rick younger and more. >> steve let's talk about the costs now and clearly a lot of those detainees from gitmo who are redecembered go back to the battlefield, even chuck hagel has said at that, by the way, he said we know that some of the detainees that have come out of gitmo have gone back to the fight, the battlefield. that means they are costing us a lot of money when they commit terror. >> well that's right and it's not just money david it's also the fact that what price do you put on those mnt lives that these terrorists then go back and take? >> and gitmo is not a jail like it is in the united states, it's a prisoner of war camp and by the way the prisoners there are treated far better than most pow-s were in previous wars. the cost is not about cost. closing gitmo would be immensely costly they do go back to the battlefield and the idea that you can treat them like domestic prisoners is preposterous. this is a war. gitmo is a pow camp, period. >

mr. ryan. >> steve, what's the right answer?beard wasn't especially impressive. it looks like a 5:00 shadow. but it did exist and andy was correct, 2 for 2. >> i don't know, i feel like it was more of like an 8:00 shadow. all right. final question. andy, are you ready? this is the third question and this is from last night's show, and as we foreshadowed, it's actually from last night's "best new thing in the world." we watched last night a famous fashion designer and a qvc host argue heatedly about whether the moon is a planet or a star, or maybe the moment the rings are a baseball or maybe it's cheese. here's my question. who was the designer who insisted that the moon is a planet, in part, because he said, things live on it. was the designer, a, mark jacobs. b, isaac misrahi. c michael kors or d, zach posen. >> i'm going to go with b, mr. mizrahi. >> steve, do we know the answer? >> we do, but first, we need to watch the amazing video. >> go, go. >> come on, it's a planet. >> this could be real. the moon is what? the moon is a

mr. capitalism, steve froshs, richard, elizabeth mcdonald, mike, it's not looking good. >> no, david it's not. entrepreneurs are a dying breed due to too many taxes and too much regulation. normally during a recovery, particularly wheninessps and take-home pay increase at a rapid rate. they are being thwarted because the policies from washington have been focused on the redistribution of wealth not the creation of wealth. >> and that's hurting, steve, the most valuable companies it's a the small companies that have the best jobs because you grow with the job, your responsibilities and salaries grow. the report's author, the head of gallop organization said the economy is never truly coming back unless we reverse the birth and death trends of american businesses. >> david, if that trend continued we would have a european tile economy which is why their growth rates lagged those of the u.s. the thing to keep in mind is the entrepreneurial spirit is alive live. we have 30 under 30. hundreds of young people doing amazing things in numerous areas of our life. what's happening with a stifling o

mr. williams, you have three minutes of rebuttal. >> thank you. steve williams again. you know, with all due respect to mr. [inaudible] who i've known for a very long time he's just wrong about article 9. please look at the language of that statute. it says my portion, any construction, and any portion of an unaccepted street requires the consent of the abutting landowner and the reason is because they're responsible. you heard it from his lips. the matulas will be 100% responsible for this. they get to pick their poison. it's more dangerous to build a sidewalk and a lot higher level of liability for a sidewalk that's been constructed than for natural land. if someone's hiking up through these bushes as it is now they will at least have that defense, but won't have that defense on this steep slope of concrete. as you heard from the neighbors, mr. brand is bent on attacking the matulas, who knows why, and he's bent on rehashing arguments that went out with the dr. he talks about windows, and the design. the design has been set since 2006. the only thing he's been dealing

we are going to mr. steve chabot of ohio. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for convening this breakbreakages, the north korean threat. this committee has long recognized the dangers of pyongyang's growing capabilities. in fact, last year as former chairman of the asia-pacific subcommittee, i held two hearings specifically on north korea because not only is it the greatest security threat to the peace and stability of asia but it's one of the united states most vexing security challenges. and i would argue greatest policy failures in many ways. the just a couple of questions. ambassador kim in june of last year the asia-pacific subcommittee heard testimony from your predecessor, ambassador glenn davies, and in his testimony he stated that china is north korea's quote last remaining patriot, unquote. however, as chairman royce already mentioned pyongyang has a good relationship with russia and illicit networks with countries in the middle east especially iran. we know that north korea maintains a fairly robust illicit trading network with these very

mr. balmer, steve ballmer of microsoft, he just bought the clippers from $2 billion.that the new threshold for these high quality, big metropolis teams now? >> i wouldn't say that's the new threshold, but prices have gone up. i'm not going to give you a specific price because i could wind up on the buy side here, and i'm not going to be bidding against myself. [laughter] but, obviously, these are extremely valuable assets, and as you said, there are only a limited number of them. there are 30 nba teams, and when one in major market like los angeles, chicago or new york comes on the market, you're going to get immense demand not just locally or nationally, but even internationally. liz: right. and you know what? you've got a lot of twitter billionaires, facebook billionaires. they want to own something like this, that's how it goes. sal, great to talk to you, so much. >> my pleasure. >> sal galatioto, maybe on the buy side eventually, we'll see. >>> president obama trying to strike a bipartisan note today. he welcomed congressional leaders to the white house for the fi
