Focus on companies that do good. It will have the cability regardless of how much is in the bank. The first dollar i earned was below minimum wage. Apple seems to be listening more than they have in the past. And Companies Like thattart on it was innovation over time. Companies like microsoft, apple, a number you want to see go down. Money with Melissa Francis is next. Melissa im Melissa Francis and heres whats money tonight. The president says hiking the minimum wage will do wonders for workers but a multifranchise owner testifying in front of Congress Today says it is going to do just the opposite. He joins us exclude exclusively to explainhy. Plus pass Climate Change legislation or else. President obama threatens executive orders t cut pollution but would cutting out Congress Cross the line . Lou blue dog democrat kurt slader is here to respond. Cafornia is running out of doctors. The golden state prepares for obamacare only to find out it has got a physician shortage. How a wave of newly insured patients could overwell wem the state. Even when they say it is not, it is always about money. Melissa so on to our top story tonight. One of president obamas boldest calls in last nights state of the union speech was to raise the National Minimum wage from 7. 25 to nine bucks an hour. Thats a 24 increase. And it brings us back to the conversation weve been having here on money on whether or not this will lift the economy or just lift the unemployment rate. Today on capitol hill Business Owners in the trenches, testifying in front of the House Committee on Small Business. Joining us in a fox business exclusive straight from testifying is sean fogg. Seans a multiunit franchise owner. He owns and operates businesses across four states. Thanks so much for coming on and tell us a little bit what you, what message you went to carry today. Thanks for having me on, melissa. I came to capitol hill today to talk to them about Small Business and basically how government is getting in our way of growth. Melissa do you think they believed you . How did you make your case . What are they specifically doing thats slowing you down . Well the big thing is access to capital and the regulations and the policies that theyre putting in place but more importantly its more about the indecisiveness of what the policies will be. They continue to kick the can down the road fo six months to a year and i have no idea what my taxation rate will be next year and i just found out about what it will be this year. And when you talk about the Affordable Care act, there continues to be waivers, exemptions, changes and differences in the policies that were originally very difficult and cumbersome to understand and now it continues to get more difficult. Melissa one thing that sound certain you will have to pay your workers more. You own and operate 12 franchise units. You have 4 fran chiees. You have mrs. Fields famous brand, pretzel maker franchises all kinds of things americans are very familiar with across the country but these are places where you employ people at minimum wage. How is at going to impact your business if youre forced to pay people 9 an hour . As you mentioned in the beginning it is a 24 increase at a minimum because those people that i currently pay, maybe 9 an hour, when the minimum wage goes up they will want more because they have been there longer or theyre a fulltime employee. In my business i employ a lot of High Schoolers people just getting their first job and they are not fulltime employees. President obama last night was very specific when he talked about the minimum wage and the federal porty level and someone who works full time at minimum wage. None of my fulltime employees make the minimum wage. Melissa that is a great point. That is how some people get started. If there wasnt a minimum wage that was low they wouldnt get a job other people would take the opportunity at a higher wage. It is sort of the openly way to get started. In your case, how would you respond . If you have to pay 24 or 30 more. You make a great point. You have to lift wages of everyone else in order to stay in line that money will not grow on trees. What are you growing to do . Will you cut back on their hours . Will you cut back on other workers . Will you raise the price of your products . What would you do . That same question was asked in the small buness committee today. I cant lay i dont have anybody or reduce hours. Were at minimum staffing levels. Part of what weve done with the downturn over the last several years. We watch our labor costs very closely. What it means though i wont continue to grow. I wont open aymore locations because when i look at the ability for a return on investment, if i have 24 more or 30 more in payroll costs, that is going right to my bottom line and take away any profit that i might be able to expect or realize. And so im going to make a decision not to open more locations. Every lation that i open, employ anywhere between eight and 15 people. Melissa wow so those 23 millioneople unemployed or arent working enough to pay their bills, those are people that would suffer as a result of this because there wouldnt be a new job that you would create because you would be paying your current employees even more. Why wouldnt you pass it along in the form of higher prices . That is the arguement i always get from people who are in favor of raising the minimum wage. Well prices will go up. You know, but wages will go up so it all answer out. People pay more but they make more, really Virtuous Cycle and all works out . You wouldnt raise your pric . No. I think youre exactly right. But, you have to remember i own Great American cookies and pretzel micker. There will not be opportunity for me to charge 4 for a cookie. I have a lot of problems increasing my prices because eventuully gets out of range for someone to purchase an impulse buy like that. What we have to do is find ways to mitigate any expenses that go to our bottom line with other methods. Ultimately like i said, not only will i not open new locations but some of my locations very low in profitability right now i will decide to close those because i will not make any money whatsoever. So not am i not employing new people but there are current employees i will no longer have in the system. Melissa sean, youre in the trenches. You are so practical. Out there fighting the fight. I really hoped they sten to you today because a lot of politicians are not practical. Theyre not looking at the math. Thanks for coming on. We appreciate your time. Sure, thanks for having me. Melissa looks like the minimum wage might have a, ma mum impact if you listen to sean. Lets attorney to todays money power panel. Jonathan hoenig Fox News Contributor and Portfolio Manager at capitalist pig. Christian dorsey Economic Policy institute and of course that is James Freeman to the wall street journal. Welcome to a of you. James, let me start with you, what do you think of what you just heard . It is a sad story especially for current employees. Sounded at beginning of interview they were safe although no new jobs. He said at end i might have to cut locations too. This is exactly what st economists would predict. Even your friends on the harvard faculty they realize this is junk eonomics. You raise the price of labor, youre going to get less of it. Melissa james, what do you think, im sorry, christian, what do you think of what you heard. Found the Small Business owner, largely sensible but i would like to bring out a key couple of points from the president s proposal. Melissa sure. One is value statement, melissa. The value statement is that people who work ought to not be earning Poverty Level wages. And certainly increasing the cost of labor will increase costs for business but, increasing, u know, providing usda inspections increases the cost of bringing food to market. It is still the right thing to do. I think Small Business owner is very, very wise in what heaid. This is not necessarily going to result in the loss of jobs, because there are other ways that businesses can go about. Melissa that is not what he said. He said he will have to close locations and he will not open new locations and hire new people. I mean, jonathan, speak to christians main point. You know it is idea that its the right thg to do, that you want people that are out there other thanning minimum wage to be able to support themselves. That is value that makes sense. Unfortunately the math and practicality of it operating in the real world is the money has to come from somewhere. Well, indeed, melissa. Wages are not artrary. In a free market theyre actually determined by supply and demand for labor. Quite sily some jobs especially extremely low skilled jobs which seans employees participate in arent worth 9 an hour. So seans point he simply cant afford to hire more people, bui that new establishment. Open that new store. That is whats so difficult for many on the left to understand. Minimum wage actually creates unemployment and hurts exactly the low skilled, low income people that ostensibly the president wants to help. Melissa james, respond to christians point, this is a moral value people in making minimum wage is moral statement Unemployed People want is show me a job. The idea of 9 a hour is great help to workers. Why not . Why not go to 10, 20, 50 . If government can conjure wealth for all of us seems like mr. Obama is limiting us to 9, right . No, his proposal, this proposal is to bring fulltime workers from 14,000 to 18,000 a year. Were by no means talking out wealth. Were talking about people deeply poor, less poor. Lets get real here. Melissa everyone get o the calculators i want to play this for you. Listen to what the president had to say. Well talk about it on the other sides. Tonight i propose we use some oil and gas revenues to fund Energy Security trust. I propose a fix it first program, to put people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs. Like the nearly 70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country [applause] no one who works fulltime should have to live in poverty and raise the federal minimum wage to 9 an hour [applause] tonight i propose working with states to make highquality, preschool available to every single child in america [applause] nothing im proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime. Melissa so that last part was the part that got me because if you added up all the things he talked about it w hard because they were not totally specific but you came up with about 16 billion in new spending. Im wondering how that doesnt add to the deficit at all . Jonathan, youre shaking your head. Go ahead to attack it first. More, smoke and mirrors from the president , unfortunately melissa. As a results as all Government Force does in the destruction of wealth. The destruction of jobs. When government gets in the business of business, no good comes of it and say lights everyones rights. The minimum wage is part of that. The presints new spending is part of that. And essentially results in the destruction of wealth. But obviously that is gameplan. To grow the economy by growing the size of government hast worked in last four years. Wont work in the next four. Melissa christian you may love a lot of things he said, ultimately they cost money. Like saying you can lose weight without diet and exercise. It just doesnt happen. How do you do it without costing money. One thing i took issue with the president said last night. This whole idea we are so hysterically focused on the deficit we dont do common sense things to grow our economy is completely ludicrous. He alluded to that fact. Now there are all kinds of ways that you can offset the spending with increased revenues or reductions in other places. That doesnt exactly move the ball forward. I think the president should have been real talking about what needs to be done. Melissa hang on. Let james respond. Investment, what christian said. They like to put that wo. It is question of last night was hows the government going to pay for all this . I think jack lew largely answered it in his nomination hearing today to be secretary of the treasury in the senate. More revenue, more revenue, more revenue. That was the answer on viually, every time tax reform came up, that was his answer. So. Melissa jonathan real quick, st word. Revenue, revenue is taxes. Just like investments, investment means government spending. Revenue means more government taxes. So seans cookie might not cost 4 now. Maybe cost five or six because the more you tax people the higher prices have to go. Melissa that better be a big damn cookie thats all i have to say, guys. Thanks for coming on. We appreciate it. Thank you. Melissa so heres our money question of the day, what do you think is the best state of the union moment . A lot of you said when it ended. A lot of you. Im not sure that counts. We know who our viewers are. The biggest response when the president said none of his big new incentives would cost a single dime thats what were talking about. Like us on facebook. Co facebook. Com melissafrancisfox or follow me on twitter melissaafrancis. That is what im doing during the commercial. Toos market moment, will it or wont it. The dow came within striking distance of alltime high but declinesby mcdonalds and boeing helped pull the dow below the 14,000 mark once again. Meanwhile the nasdaq and s p 500 managed to squeeze out slight gains. Next on money, president obama threatens congress with executive orders to combat environmental change. Bun blue dog democrat says the president has gone too far. He joins us to explain why. More money coming up. This is america. We dont let frequent heartburn come between us and what we love. So if youre one of them people who gets heartburn and then treats day afr day. Block the acid with prilosec otc and dont get heartburn in the first place [ male announcer ] e pill eachmorning. 24 hours. Zero heartbur if Congress Wont ask soon to protect future generations i will. I will direct [applause] i will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the nsequences of Climate Change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy. Melissa wow, president obama there, really throwing down the gauntlet on Climate Change last night. With so much on his plate, clean energy and the environment be so high on the list . Is the president overstepping hi bounds on this issue . Here with more on this, blue dog democrat congressman kurt schrader. Welcome back to the show. What do you think about that idea . We have so many problems right now . You know we have this unemployment, so many people out of work. House being market, problems with Small Business. Yep. Melissa theres a lot of things to work on. How did you feel about this being so high on the list . Well, im glad it was further down in the speech and he led off with jobs and the economy and dealing with our fiscal deficit picture. But, i really bristle at the idea he will unilaterally as one member, one branch of government dictate to the other two branches more importantly dictate to the house and senate, that constitutionally youre supposed to make laws, new laws. That is not right and that is just not going to happen. Melissa do you think that will fly . This isnt the first time he talks about the executive order. This seems like a new tool he whipped out of hi bag anfeels like, he is really going to use here in the second term . Well, talk is one thing. Action is another. I was just as upset when george w. Bush went the executive orders all over the place and i remember a lot of my democratic colleagues being very, very upt wanting to impeach george w. Bush. I didnt like it when he did it. Hey, i dont like it if this president goes down that road. Melissa how do you battle back against Something Like that . What you can do, ask congress. He pros pod a proposed a bill to promulgate Greenhouse Gas standards without Congress Stepping in. We stepped up to the plate. Said no that will not happen. Passed legislation on the house side to reign that in. There is point i happen to believe Climate Change is here and very, very real. See that in my home state of oregon. But it is not, the president s jurisdiction in a constitutional democracy a republican like we have, to unilaterally make tse decisions without direction from the american people. We represent the ameran people as congress. Melissa you have to wonder about implications of some of the other ideas he put on the table with respect to energy one is which the Energy Security trust. Use revenue from oil and Gas Production on public lands to fund new energyesearch. To me that sounds like new taxes or new costs that would go into production. Anytime you increase the cost of energy it shows up at the pump. And you know today were having another day where prices at the pump are highest they have ever been on this calendar day ever. I dont know that the American Public can handle did higher prices. Hopefully that is not the case. What he is talking about is existing royalties and revenues. Already have a Land Conservation trust that oil and gas revenues support ecological priorities this country has. Makes more sense to me. More sense than if the money goes into energy trust. One of the things we seem to have bipartisan agreement on is doing conservation measures here. Window makers, door makers back to work. Melissa where is the money going now . If it is royalties the government is already receiving and money coming in, wouldnt be additional, is it funding Something Else that wouldnt get funded . My assumption were drilling now more than ever. Natural gas seems to come on bigtime. The president seems to be supportive of that as long as it is done well. That increases revenue. Maybe you divert percentages going heretofore in other areas and go to the energy trust. That will be our job hopefully at the end of the day. Melissa congressman, i asked tongue and cheek. President chu might have been president st night, we saw announcement saying tonight was from the White House Energy secretary ephen chu has been designated not to attend the state of the Union Address at the capital this evening. I assume he was in a bunker somewhere else . Do you think he could have led us well had it come to that . I dot know about that. I think dr. Chu is a respected scientist. He is glad to get out of the washington, d. C. Dodge city is not his stock and trade, ill say that. Melissa youre a od sport. Congressman, thanks so much. Thank you. Melissa time now for todays fuel gauge report. Iea lowered Global Demand outlook for oil for 2013. A tepid Global Economic recovery is primarily attributed for that cut. That reeort flies in the face of the outlook from opec and the u. S. Energy information administration. Both raised their forecasts for oil demand yesterday. So who knows who is right there. That helped take a bite out of oil futures. They ttled down 50 cents at 97. 01 a barrel. Natural gas futures llied off a twoweek low. Forecasts say colder than expected weather is ahead for the next two weeks as we apparently take a break from Global Warming here. Analysts expect a drawdown in u. S. Stockpiles of u. S. Natural gas. Coming up on money, the dont wont see you now. California scrambles for obamacare. There is one problem. It has run out of doctors for all those new patients of. Were going to explain it. Plus it is like something out of a spy novel. An elaborate oil trading lot by iran and syria is discovered and it spans the globe. Are u. S. Led sanctions missing the mark . Details coming up. Do you ever have too much money or too much of secretary chu . Melissa so the Affordable Care act kicks in next year and california is already bracing for impact. Yes more people will get access to Health Insurance but turns out only 16 of californias 58 counties have required number of primary care physicians that are needed. Some state legislators want to redefine who can treat patients, possibly having nurses and pharmacists pick up slack. Is this fure of health care . Joining me California Assembly man, Roger Dickinson and foxs own charles payne. Thanks to you both for joining us. Assemblyman, let me start with you. Do you think is a solution . This will fill provider gap what we know will be extrordinarily number of physicians as we cover people under the afca. So this is part of the answer. Melissa charles, what drives me crazy about this, maybe you have the best intentions i feel like i say this every day. If the best intentions but you dont do the math ahead of time of what the implication is. So lo and behold were adding all these peoe to the system and then you realize we dont have nearly enough doctorsnd you cant invent doctors overnigh by the way theyre not making that much money anymore, their insurance is so high, people i know dont want to become a doctor. Th is big problem. Anecdotally when i was kid driving on highway with a car with a doctors license plate it was always the best car on the road. They have toyota corollas, but to get back to the same point im not sure you can argue this unintended consequences. A million articles were written this common sense well add 30 Million People and same amount of doctors. There wont be change in quality of care. I wonder lawmakers who think this is good idea, okay, you know what, you take my doctors, mr. Soandso i will let the nurse provide me with my primary care. Melissa assemblyman, are you getting push back on this . Does it make people nervous . Do they realize it is inevitable. I dont know what other solution would possibly be because there are not enough primary care physicians to go around . You know, i dont really think this is a question of compromising the quality of care. In fact we have Many Health Care professionals such as nurse practitioners, optometrists, pharmacists, physicians assistants, who are very, very competent and capable. What we have done historically is actually limit them legislatively in terms of the services they can provide. So im not concerned in fact about competent care being provided by expanding the scope of practice for some of these professions. The reality is, we do face a shortage of physicians, at least in the short and intermediate term. But we have a way of meeting the need of making sure that those people are. Melissa if there were limits in place and laws in the first place were they not there for a reason . Were they laws that didnt make sense . In some cases yes. I think thats true. I think we have narrowed the scope of practice in some instancess without a real medical justification for doing that. And what the implementation of the aca requires us to do is reexamine whether theres some areas in which these other Health Care Professionals can competently provide quality medical care. Listen, with all due respect to the gentleman from california, is he going to give up his doctor and let his pharmacist provide his care for him . So easy to say thi listen, and im not trying to diss all of them. There are great nurses out there and may be some great pharmacists out there and other people. The bottom line though people want doctors. Wasnt this all about the best medical care . Wasnt that the argument for obamacare in the first place . Wasnt that what it was all about . Now the bottom line is, even before this we were going to have a shortage because of all the older people who are putting a drag on the system. Next 20 years it was already going to be tough. This is making unmitigated nightmare. Makes you wonder what other worst Case Scenarios cod happen from obamacare were not talking about right now. Melissa assemblyman, doesnt it take us down the road to a twotier system . Because if you hear people feel the way charles is speaking if they have money they will go to topnotch doctor, and people who cant afford that, seeing whoever is available . No, i think this concern is completely misplaced. The fact is, if you want to personalize it. I have great confidence in those who assist my doctor. I have great confidence my talking about them being your primary doctor. So the point here is, to make sure, that we concentrate the medical resources where theyre best applied and most needed. Not everythg needs to be done by a doctor. Not every person needs to be seen by a doctor. Melissa okay. Just as people have made adjustments to managed care and other changes in the health care environment, this is something as long as were providing quality care, people will be fine. The point here is. Melissa that wll be the test. We cant cover people and not give them access to care. Melissa absolutely. Assemblyman, charles payne, thanks so much. Thanks f coming on. Coming up on money. Analyst it oil trading scheme by iran and how theyre pulling it off under the u. S. s nose. Piles of money coming up. Melissa so in a Stunning Development in the middle east, for the first time there may actually be proof that iran and syria are working together to avoid sanctions. A reportedly works like this. Iran sells weapons and ammunition to syria. Since syria doesnt have any money to pay it, it gives its oil to iran as partial payment. And then iran turns around and secretly ships that oil from syria through the suez canal and the red sea, finally to the buyers of this now iranian oil, like pakistan, india and china among others. We have chris from the institution of the study of war and he brought this to our attention on money. Welcome back to the show, chris. What proof out there is this is going on . A pleasure to be here with you this evening, melissa. Weve known quite some time there is a oneway trade between iran and syria. That is to say irans Defense Organization was oducing as many weapons and ammunition that the syrian army could use. The irian air force was flying weapons and ammunion to syria. In the addition the iranian navy was taking weapons and ammunition up through the suez canal and offloading at syria ports ofartu this is the first evidence weve seen the is trade going in the opposite direction, which is two tankers from the National IranianTanker Company onloading oil up in syria and taking it through the suez canal and essentially mixing it in with the rest of the iranian oil trade headed out to their remaining trade partners. Melissa why is this a big deal . It is a bill deal because it shows the syrians till have a life line economically. For the longest time, for two years, everybody is saying it is simply a matter time until assad false. He out lasted all his skeptics and all of is critis. There is no evidence he is willing to give up power. It shows so far that the american strategy of sanctions on iran failed to produce any tangible results. Weve had a distinct and negative impact on the iranian domestic economy but weve had no impact at all on the Iranian Military industrial complex. Melissa on the one hand. They say theyre making so much less money from exporting oil and, you know, and everyone in washington sort of cheers. On the other hand they talk about the massive investments theyre making in their own infrastructure and their own oil facilities. You say, wait a second where are they getting money for that. Now were getting some idea. Yeah, absolutely. The point of the matter is, iran doesnt need to generate a lot of cash to survive. They have got a subsistence economy in place. Their military can operate on a bare bones budget because they have a vertically inat that greated state owned industrial system they can withstand a lot of pressure. Im sure yur viewers appreciate the fact that Stateowned Enterprises are inherently less efficient than private enterprises but Stateowned Enterprises can function aa method or instrument of ste strategy. That is what is happening in iran right now. Melissa how do we stop this . We really dont have any many options, left, melissa. Unfortunately we got with purely economically based sanctions up until this point. Iranians with stood that. They have five remaining trading partners, South Koreans and pakistanis continue to trade with iran in terms of the oil trade. It will be difficult for us to go to the countries to convincehem to decrease Oil Purchases from iran. The only real option we have ft is maritime blockade of the iraan oil industry. That is not something we fully considered, but if were genuinely interested in stopping Iranian Nuclear program, that may be the only option we have left. Melissa if we dont they get closer to having a weapon and we look weaker and weaker around the world. That is the best point we can make here, melissa. We continue to look weak. We said it is not acceptable for iran to develop a nuclear weapon. They essentially told us we dont care what you think. Well not allow iaea inspectors in. Well upgrade the centrifuges. Well enrich uranium to get to weaponsgrade uranium. Theyre doing everything they need to do to manufacture and deploy a nuke clear weapon. Melissa thank you very much, chris. Thank you. Melissa there were so many odd moments at state of the union we barely know what to do with ourselves. We have the best in a special spare change you dont want to miss. Weve been working on it all day. You can never have too much money. Melissa so weve got breaking news on Hedge Fund Investor bill ackman and his shortinn of herbalife. Fox businesss Charlie Gasparino has been following the story. Now, charlie, you have become the story. Yeah. I mean it is kind of interesting. He was speaking at the harbor investment conference. He helps put this together at morgan. He is one of the chairman of the conference. They talked abt a number of issues. They waited for his speech at end of the day i knew he would talk about herbalife. It was the attack on herbalife you expect. He is a short seller. He says herbalife is pyramid scheme. What is interesting he used as an interview they were ducking his questions, an interview we did here on the fox business network, that i did with dez walsh and basically read the transcript of the interview where we talked about, i asked walsh, will you answer all the questions that bill ackman puts to you . We knew at the time that bill ackman was going to put questions to them, a bunch of questions about their Business Model and des walsh danced around the issue but he would basically be happy to answer any legitimate questions from ackman. What ackman said at this conference to date none of his questions have been answered. Half is a victory lap,fox businesses make as little news here. The second half theres a legitimate story here according to ackman. Melissa its a huge story. This has been a fight to the death between des walsh who heads up herbalife. He is the president. Melia he is the president of herbalife, fighting against bill ackman, a activist investor, a short seller who said came out unequivocally. Its a fraud. Melissa it is a fraud. House of cards. Investors get out. Were shorting this. He put a tremendous amount of pressure. It has become a bottle back and forth between these two entities is this a business or not. Now youre right in the middle of it with your reporting. I will say this i want people to know out there, nice that bill mtioned me. I cover this like baseball. I have no horse in this game. Melissa right. People at herbalife seem like nice enough people. I know bill ackman, december guy, smart man. Were awaiting a response from herbalife. They were supposed to have one in the can. We reported that earlier. See what they have to say. I will say this, i think des walsh if i had him here sitting in yourchair, okay you said you would answer any legitimate questions from mr. Ackman, he would say we dont believe his questions are legitimate. Melissa now the ball is ally in his court. Once again this is bill ackman, going out and standing on his platform saying where are these answers . The stock iss stuck at 30 a share. We show a crt if we can get one. Went as high as 40 went as low as 20, remember from the 40s. It went, as high as 42. It has come down a lot since then. And its in sort nowhere land, half the people are short, half people are loaning and theyre still waiting for more evidence. Did the stock move on his speech . Melissa looked like in last chart in bid and ask it was taking a hit in the afterhours. The notion that you dont answer questions is like, obviously questions, at ast thats what the market is saying. Melissa there you go. They dont like that. But, listen this, is going to play out. I tell longterm investors, you know this is not a stock you really want to be in. If you want to play around, want to trade, you know, have fun. Melissa traders looking for daily action are deep in this. Longterm investors are pretty terrified. Charlie brady our statistician here, he will tell you this is one of the most hotly traded stocks in the market. Goes up and down wildly every day. Melissa Charlie Gasparino, good for y. Thanks for coming on. Coming up on money. Almost time. The best of the best of the state of the union of the it is a special spare change. Dont go away. Do you have too mu money or too much Charlie Gasparino . No way. Melissa its that time. Spare change. Tonight we have a special state of the union spare change. Weve got some of fox newss finest contributors. Tony sayegh, and Julie Roginsky got the names right. Whoohoo. First up, the top moment, hand down. You know what im going to say. Goeso senator marco rubio. You have to feel for the guy. List he is 41. It is his time to shine. Deliver the official gop rebuttal to the president s state of the union. A huge moment and this happens. Nothing is frustrated me more than false choices like the one the president laid out tonight. The choice isnt just between Big Government or big business . Melissa oh. Poor guy. I got to tell you. I like him better today. I feel like he is a human being. He is not plastic. Like every other politician. Like the bottle. Look at you, julie. Melissa come on he is a real person now he is not some slickster. No, no. Youre right. I just watched that again, looked like a hostage video. Melissa oh. My wife by the way concurs exactly. Melissa, it made him look human. Julie you admitted to me you had a secret crush on marco rubio. Not so secret anymore, tony. Thanks for telling everyone. Media had a funny line. More than just reaching for the war. He was staring at the camera like it was going to steal his watch. That was probably a better description. Didnt reair his picture. I mean, he can really turn it around, it could be a positive for him to get out ere a just really make fun of himself. He should go on that network that i wont talk about on saturday night and he should get out in front of it and really make it hysterical. He took a step in the right direction by tweeting that. They should have had a good comeback, they missed a golden opportunity for marketing. I dont know, its turning into a big win. Look at you, melissa. Are you feeling mycrush. Melissa no, no, im not saying anything. Okay, something that you dont bank on seeing at the state of the Union Address, president obamas fistpump exploding with mark kirk on his way to the podium to deliver his address. He has swagger. He oes. Mark just came back from near collapse and paralysis. By the way, mark kir replaced a person in the senate. He is a cool as a cucumber, im your buddy, high five, he stories are like that when the cameras are on. Give a problem with them when he is gone from the camera.
