Melissa president obama finding himself awfully lonely at start of the g20 summit. Trying to get World Leaders on board but his pleas falling on a lot of deaf ears. Fox newss greg palkot here with all the details. Greg. Reporter you have that right, melissa. The region here girds for possible u. S. Military strike against syria president obama is involved in his own clashes at that g20 summit in st. Petersburg. Obama and russian president and host Vladmir Putin exchanged icy greetings today. Obama is now admitting that the u. S. Basically has hit the wall with russia regarding syria. It has responded in part by branding secretary of state john kerry a liar for his testimony before congressional committees this week. Obama is seeking support elsewhere at the gathering. He met today with japanese Prime Minister abe, and also french president hollande is expressing his support but thats about it. There have been cold shoulders all around at this summit for the United States and president obama. U. K. Prime minister david cameron, who is parliament voted down backing the United States in any military strike against syria did reveal that his Intelligence Services have identified the nerve gas agent sarin on the clothing and the bodies of some of the victims of that chemical weapon attack last month in syria but again, the u. K. Not involved. This as the fighting in syria continues. The forces of bashar assad clashing with rebels in one location, a town to the north of damascus, mainly christian and there have been some victims in that clash. And the government reportedly moving troops and assets around in advance of that intervention. Here in lebanon, melissa, the government is doing its best to remain neutral but its not succeeding too much. Weve seen a lot of violence here a lot of passions, a lot of refugees. The border with syria, just about 40 miles from where im standing. Back to you. Melissa greg, thanks so much. So with president obama trying to rally support for a strike against syria fears are growing who may come out on top after any attack. The increasing brutality of some rebel groups in the spotlight today. This is the cover of the New York Times t shows seven Syrian Government soldiers about to be executed by rebel forces. As a result against the assad regime could provide help for the syrian rebels. In some cases are these people as bad as assad . We haveside jasser. And welcome to both of you, lisa, because that picture, really getting a lot of people talking today especially in the u. S. About who is it exactly that would be in charge after the fall of assad . There have been questions about, you know, is it al qaeda . And if they are, you know, syrian rebels, of the Free Syrian Army, are they just as brutal as an assad regime . What do you say . Thats been the ongoing question for over two years now, who are the rebels . That is why president obama hesitated and still hesitating to send weapons to the rebels. That is why we question if we go in is there the possibility that the chemical weapons could be passed off and could get into the hand of these rebels . And the last question and biggest question of all, should we strike and weaken the assad regime, wouldnt these al qaeda forces then take that opportunity to swoop right in and occupy the political vacuum that would then be created . Melissa saudi, i know you disagree . It is easy to ask a lot of questions, melissa, but how about the answers . The answers so far is doing nothing is the most empowering for al qaeda and militant groups and radicals and most empowering for governments like saudi arabia and qatar to fund the wrong people. Within the Free Syrian Army is not only 50 to 100,000 that are actually fighting but around syria, remember this revolution started urban and then moved to the towns of damascus and aleppo, each of two to four Million People that include many hundreds of thousands of local Coordination Committees that are helping the rebels. To say that the rebels, 5 to 10,000 al qaeda will take over syria, certainly islamist will have a lot of influence but you cant tell me that syrias local Coordination Committees will tip towards islamist. If they do it will happen much more likely under the assad regime than. Melissa there are two other groups as well as part of the extremist. There is the free islamic front. Theres also the Syrian Liberation front that are out there as well who are groups, that you know, we may not want in charge. The Free Syrian Army, is the faction that i think, you know, people have seen as the most moderate. But we dont know that theyre the ones that would necessarily be in charge if assad wins, right . No, we dont know who will be in charge and thats, doing nothing has not been an answer. Zudi is absolutely correct in saying that. Doing something and fail something probably much worse than doing nothing n this case we dont know who these people are and, the devil that we know is often better than the devil that we dont know. But, what we do know take examples from history and look at these other political uprisings where a very wellintentioned, grassroots opposition, you know, uprising didnt result in to what the people wanted. It didnt result what the people who gave up their lives were fighting for. And in this case the one golden rule weve seen in the middle east and weve seen throughout the arab spring is that it is not going to be the group that started it but it will be the group that is the most wellorganized and wellfunded. In this case the islamist will be the group that will have that advantage. Melissa but, zudi, the other big problem we have at this point, we saw it at the g20 summit this is becoming a proxyd russia and there are questions raised that Vladmir Putin could come to the aid of syria. He could replace whatever weapons are destroyed. There is a question being raised during the hearings that we saw yesterday in washington of folks asking would it be legitimate for the russians to strike out against us in a military theater if we went in and attacked syria . Some people are saying yes, this is absolutely a possibility. Should we be concerned about the fact, we may want to help syrians we may be getting into a war with russia here or battle at least . But i hope that concern doesnt make us retract and basically make the world a postamerican world where russias and irans of the world control the future of the middle east which would tip towards the most antiamerican environment possible. And currently, yes, the Syrian Military has a deep history of being trained by the soviets. There is deep relationships there. The economy has been intertwined with the russians. Not to mention the try aping you lar relationship with triangular relationship has been bad. This is time we dont have somebody like president reagan with conviction and leadership to get American Opinion where it should be. Retraction at this time will allow the worst of the worst, hezbollah, assad has a cozy relationship with radical groups and uses the flux of al qaeda into that country to force the moderates to disappear and destroy them. If we want syria to evolve into a third pathway, towards democracy, it is not going to happen under assad. And if we want to contain iran, contain russias influence away from radicalization of the middle east, it needs to start with putting up wall now, because of chemical weapons and destroying their capabilities militarily in the air. Melissa we have to leave it there. Im sorry, lisa. Well get more next time. Thanks so much. Okay. Melissa next on money, walmart workers on strike across the u. S. Looks like tons of imply east are demanding a hike in the minimum wage but are they appear to be . Well explain that. Plus the government is taking jpmorgan to the woodshed and now may be cutting it down to size. Charlie gasparino is here with an exclusive report. More money coming up. Melissa walking off the job. Walmart workers in 15 cities across the u. S. Going on strike there. Demanding an increase in the minimum wage and better benefits. It looks like countless walmart employees took off their aprons and hit the street, right . But who are the people you see in front of these stores and on the news . Joining me now is bob cutner, american prospect and katy gauge of workforce institute. Thanks to both of you for joining us. This is really the question. We see these strikes. Saw it with mcdonalds as well. You wonder who these folks are. In fact the Tampa Tribune, you know reports came out after we saw the mcdonalds workers last week, reporters went down to the front lines and found that they werent actually workers from i restaurant. The Tampa Tribune today, they are talking about the force outside of walmart and say that theyre coming from our walmart, which came from the united food and commercial Workers International union an organized in order to target big box retailers. Not that they dont have the right to do this but it is not the story that you see everywhere in the need yaw that these are folks that walked off the job. Bob, what do you think about that . Do you agree with that . Some of them are folks who walked off the job at great risk to jobs. Some are Union Organizers. Unions believe in solidarity. Unions have been helping other workers organize unions as long as there is labor movement. We celebrated the 50th anniversary of the march on washington and people were accused back then being outside agitators and union staffers, union volunteers, marched arm in arm with dr. King. Think thats a great thing. Hardly a story that Union Organizers go in and try to help organize unorganized workers. That is not news. Melissa katy, is it not a story . I think it is absolutely a story. This is, story weve seen every year for the last several decades where the ufcw and their parent company, aflcio, or their parent union, the aflcio, basically pay people to come out and pretend to be workers for all of these companies, pretend to protest bad conditions. And at the end of the day we find out they really are just paid Union Organizers, and very infrequently people, that actually have complaints with their jobs. Oh, come on. Melissa bob, hang on. There is something really disingenuous, weve seen this with political campaigns lately. It is more than just people who sympathize coming out for support. If youre paying people to show up, and to protest, theyre actors. Wait a minute. Thousands of fastfoodworkers at peril to their jobs have taken a day off work melissa but that is not what the reporters who wouldnt on front lines actually said. When you look in papers especially here in new york and look online to reporters that went to talk to people they had person after person where they said they didnt find workers out. It kind of makes sense. If you have 1,000 people in front after mcdonalds, 1,000 people dont work at the mcdonalds. Bob knows very well these are not organic uprisings. Melissa bob, go ahead and respond to that. Point is, these people are being paid a wage they can not live on. Melissa no, no were talking about people outside. Talk knee about the folks outside. These stores could very easily. Melissa bob, you have to answer the question. A living wage f youre saying some of the people on picket lines, i walk ad picket lines, some are sympathizers, some are organizers. Melissa im talking about folks paid to be there. That is disingenuous to the public. Unions staffers, get a salary. They walk picket lines. Melissa thats not what were talking about. Were talking about people paid by the hour to be there. Youre not telling your viewers that none of the people who walked out are actually Union Workers because that would not be true. Melissa im tell them that people outside when they see them on the news are paid to be there i dont know what the difference between that and being actor is. Im not talking about salaries. Talking about people paid by the hour. You go ahead. It is your turn. There is 1. 4 million Something Like that union, im sorry, Walmart Associates across the country. And, its, its, not even a fraction, really of those that have been recruited by these union Center Organization to come out and sort of be propped up in front of crowds of paid protesters. That is what they are. These reporters are finding it out when they actually ask the question, are you a walmart associate . Are you a mcdonalds worker . For the most part these are paid protesters. That is what it is. It is actors. Bob knows it. We all know it. It is all for show for the press. And we dont all know it. And i do think it damages the credibility of their argument. Melissa bob, does it damage the credibility or are they making a point is the reason theyre out there anyways so it doesnt matter who it is protesting . Maybe there should be truth in advertising . I cant believe that katy, is trying to spin this as david and goliath where david is walmart and goliath is minimum wage workers. That is just preposterous. That is absolutely not what im trying to suggest. What im trying to suggest these union Center Organizations are not necessarily out for the best interests of the workers of, you know, whether mcdonalds employees or Walmart Associates. These are not people that are seeking out our walmart to represent them. Our walmart and other groups by similar names, for the last 20 years have been trying to come in and basically the workers have said look, were just not that into you. But they pay people to come and protest. Melissa bob, give you the last word. What about that . That is one side of the argument these unions whose ranks are dwindling and coming out to prey upon workers who frankly cant afford to Pay Union Dues on top of trying to take care of their families . Go ahead. Give laws word. Walmart workers get fired if they try to organize a union. They need all the help they can get. Unions have been about solidarity 100 years. That is absolutely false. That is what the movement is all about. Melissa thanks to both of you for spirited debate. We appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Melissa next on money, forget goldman sachs. The governments new whipping boy is jpmorgan. Now the bank may have no choice but to downside. Charlie gasparino joins with us exclusive report. It is all the word on wall street. Plus, 20 Major Companies are searching for a new ceo right at the same time. But is there enough money to get anyone to take the top job at jcpenney . We have an allstar panel to weigh in.

At od, whatever business youre in, thats the business were in with Premium Service like onef the best ontimdelivery records and a low claims rio, we do whatever it takes to make your business our business. Od. Helping the world keep promises. Melissa the whispers, rumors, hyped the scenes gossip we have it on money. The jpmorgan, Charlie Gasparino reported it first, the nations largest bank is looking to sell nonessential assets amid mounting regulatory pressure. Charlie is here and mark can lab bra, cato institute. Welcome to both of you. Charlie, what is the story . We were reaching out yesterday to people at jpmorgan and today you saw one of those nonessential assets being shuttered. Melissa the student loan business. Theyre out of the student loan business. Got out of physical warehousing of commodities. Couple weeks ago, there will be more. What is interesting about the story not that jamie dimon saying were going to break up. He isnt saying that. Were not splitting Investment Banking from commercial banking a la glasssteagall. He is not saying yet there is a radical downsizing in the works, he saying something, you know him, we both interviewed him, he never said in the past, that jpmorgan is too big, that it needs to right size and needs to get down to essential elements and grow those businesses. That so me is kind of an interesting recognition melissa a new message. That is a big shift you. Know what he said in the past. Our size is our strength. The fortress balance sheet. The fact we can be all things to all people. We can handle, you know, vodafones, theyre involvement, verizon vodafone business. We can handle all the loans. We can do the underwriting, we can be complete player in a deal and make a lot of money. Chinabebe biggest bank in the world. Or deutsche bank. Melissa mark, what do you think about it . I think is more about complexity than size. They will focus on noncore assets of the business in my opinion small part of the balance sheet. Melissa that is what theyre getting rid of. Absolutely. I think they will potentially try to gee other things such as retail side, mortgage lending. I expect those things to become larger. I see this part of lets get rid of businesses that have become headaches that are relatively small. Some of these such as commodity, i think with the direction of Interest Rates an Monetary Policy it is probably a good time to get out of commodities in general the. But they might turn around. And it may. I surely would not be one to try to pretend to pick the right part, top or bottom of any market cycle but i think for them it is good time to start to get out of this. I think this is part of the regulatory structure as well. We had inherent in doddfrank, whole concept of living wills was not trying to help a company fail but it was really attempt by regulators to force
