Even when is it is not, it is always about money. Cheryl situation in syria coming down to the wire now. Syria may be backing down. Reports russia is working to broker a deato hand over all of its chemical weapons to u. N. Officials. We start with reaction on the ground in the middle east. Live in jerusalem. What are you hearing, do you get a sense people are skeptical of this . Israels long push to take a firm stance on syria as everything is unfolding the past two or three weeks israelis have waited and watched and prepared for the worst in preparation of an attack from israel, from iran, from has blood. Israel took an unprecedented move moving the Missile System to the outskirts of jerusalem for the First Time Ever the ire and dorm been moved to the city. They are smart as any city that the syrian more proposes to the region. They have already intervened in syria bombing the assad regime. When they feel their passing weapons in southern lebanon. Todays announcement by the Syrian Government theyre are wo transfer the chemical weapons they have to another country is really being viewed with skepticism here. Israel do not trust anything the iranians, syrians or even the russian backers have to say on any matter in the middle east, so while there is skepticism, theres also some relief and happiness at least for the immediate situation there seems to be some siding of the immediate fear of four. But skepticism this is going to end this. Most capitals around the middle east feel this is just being postponed for a short while. Melissa thank you very much. So has everything been changed in syria for what seems like a hardline faceoff . Russia could go shoot a deal for syria to turn over all of its chemical weapons. It could be a major moment in the midst of this crisis saving u. S. Money and american lives. A syrian expert and just released a study titled airpower options in syria. Our money expert. I want to start with you, jeff. As somebody who has studied this terrain and the weapons syria has, how physically possible to think it is for somebody to go in and gather the weapons together, know they have everything and get it in one place under u. N. Control . In terms of chemical weapons capability, that is just not possible. The stockpiles themselves are dispersed, they are large and going after them solely with the use of air power would not be possible, requiring Ground Forces and even then may not be possible. What is more possible is striking the delivery mechanisms but even then they are so myriad ranging from air forces to Missile Forces to artillery. Melissa what were talking about is going in and not trying to blow them up, but gather them, move them to another location. Do you think that is possible . In terms of the latest proposal length reporter you turned to, i am deeply skeptical. Public relations move in the sense the Syrian Regime and russia after the fact declared they tried to bend over backwards to accommodate the americans and putin. This is a very serious time, not a time for humor but few things funnier than the prospect of blood may put an end assad teaming up to cooperate with United Nations to deliver the stockpile. This is a transparent ploy to buy time. At the end of the timeline they will not turn anything over to the u. N. , just more time to disperse the chemical weapons amongst the civilian population in syria. Melissa if you look at the timene of events and how this possibly happen, sectarian states john kerry, i guess what would make this all go away is turn over the weapons and a sod is not about to do that. Maybe we will talk to them about a plan to turn over the weapons . Welcome in this proposal. Wait a second, there is a possibility. What do you think of that scenario, jeff . Little opening today, that said the United States is saying that we are doing due diligence, i think we see it for what it is, a ploy. Again, think this is a Public Relations move by the regime and by russia here. Melissa it is pretty clever because they say they are willing to do this, how does anybody proceed in the face of that . Can you bomb someone who says we have offered to hand over our weapons . How do you deliver that tactically . Strategically the iranians and russians have been way ahead all along. This is a perfect example of how the russians are thinking long longterm to protect their clients in syria and were thinking and acting short term. I served in the military for 20 yrs, but it is shameful to me the american body politic cant put together a better plan for how to deal with syria. Clearly speakg offthecuff mentioning the United Nations taking custody of the chemical weapons. They issued a clarification about 90 minutes after he spoke but the russians did not wait. They are in full force to exploit it, now another lover to keep us out of this. I understand everybodys skepticism on syria after coming to the conclusion it is almost inevitable the u. S. Has to intervene. It is just completely dysfunctional. Melissa that may be the case, but lets take the other side of the argument, we have already blown it. Some saying in all this time as we have been posturing and talking and gesturing, they ved their chemical weapons to inside mosques, under School Houses to places where they have human shields. We would have the blowup civilians to get at them anyway. We lost our chance to do anything. I dont think we lost our chance. By the assad regime moving their stockpiles and other weapons it gives us another opportunity to track them. I dont know if i would go quite that far, but i dont think the window has closed. The authorization is for degrading the regime chemical weapons capability but also deterring future use of chemical weapons capability and you dont necessarily have to hit a narrow target to deter future use. You can hit of the things and frankly cannot move because they are fixed like airbases. Melissa thank you to both of you. Thank you. Melissa next on money, one coniston still planning to vote no. Here to tell us what may change his mind. Plus, more big news on the timeshre front. Unprecedented steps on big implications for employees everywhere. For you. They will tell you what every worker needs to know. More money coming up. This man is about to be the millionth customer. Would you mind if i go ahead of you . Instead we had someone go ahead of him and win fiy thousand dollars. Congratulations you are our one millionth customer. Nobody likes to miss out. Thats why ally treats all their customers the same. Whether youre the first or the millionth. If your bank doesnt think youre special anymore, you need an ally. Ally bank. Your money needs an ally. Melissa it is a very costly argument whether or not syria would cooperate to turn over its chemical weapons or to launch an attack. The congressman is not convinced a strike is the right move. Congressman, do you believe syria would turn over the chemical weapons . What do you think of this proposal . It is a fascinating thing to discuss, but it may be president obama has found an o out and it will look like a political and diplomatic disaster for him so maybe this is their way out. Melissa we heard the chain of events and how it happened, it seemed like more of an accident than anything else. Sometimes when you are lucky accidents happen and you grab and run with it. This white house was in real trouble here. Their own Political Base is outraged as the holder of a Nobel Peace Prize is basically wanting to go to war. We were lied to in benghazi. How this sort of comes together. See ift actually moves forward. Will there be an airstrike . You should expect everything. Not necessarily for the government, but not only the player, you have other parties, other identity, you have to expect that. Tommy by what you mean by expect everything. Expect every action. Including Chemical Warfare . That depends. If the terrorist indecision or any other group have it, it could happen, i dont know. Melissa nordland has been made. Backeback down from a bully yout more and more out of control. There have been people who have made the comparisons to hitler. It is extreme but when they say some of the comes out and so forceful about i will keep doing what im doing. There are a lot of moving parts. There has never been a military conflict like this ever where you and i write now can go on the internet and see videos of the fighting. We can actually read blogs analyzing the weapons and the photos. Both sides are literally on twitter, so what happens when you have a military battle of a civil war being conducted on social media or the world. What happens is my constituents start my office and say i spent two hours reading about what is really going on, i dont trust the rebels as much as i dont trust the regime. Now we have a very informed public for those who want to be informed. Melissa is there anything the president can come out and do . He is lobbying to go ahead with this action. Is anything that would change your mind . First off if he could lay out what the future is, what is the endgame, what is the american interest. I can understand pride and wanting to beat up the bully. But what do we get out oit . On the seventh day or the eighth d, do they make fun of us . What do we get out of this . Melissa is there something he could say . It sounds like, is there an interest that would mean something to you . For many of us is the unintended consequences that are the great worry. What happens to lebanon, what happens to jordan, we are very concerned. If the president will say we need more monitoring aid to help refugees in jordan and lebanon, he absolutely has my vote. If he wants poetry action, he has to come close to convincingly. Melissa we appreciate your time. Coming up, first ibm, now time warner pushing retirees out of his Health Care Plan to save cost. An easy out for big as is, but how soon will it be before you are out of luck . Plus, it is like christmas eve. Apple is set to unveil a couple new iphones tomorrow. We have one of apples foremost experts to handicap the big event. Can you ever have too much apple . Melissa another week, another Company Example of what were all quite be facing with health care costs. Time warner latest Company Moving retirees off the health plan onto private exchanges. Is the writin the wall . And what does it all really mean . Welcome back to the show, lets get to it. If i am one of these people because there will be more and more of them, i find out i am being moved to a private exchange, what does that mean . Before you would be on Employers Health plan. Youre going to have to shop. Youre going to have to pick from a menu of plans. Youre going to get to find contributions, find the deductible youre willing to take, the network you want and pick. Melissa if i want the same coverage as i had before, i will be playing for it. We will make the same conditions weve always made. Coverage will be comparable to what you had before, but a way for everybody to see what their cost will be going forward. Employees will get more choice. Melissa i have a hard time believing that. They will save money. We applaud them for controlling costs, not a bad thing on this show, but it is hard for me to believe i will have the same health care. Ibm told employees that company to face the situation if they have runaway health care cost. Melissa costs are going to triple. Is the voucher going to triple . Have not filled out the details. In this environment where cost keep on going up and up and up, you want some predictability. Most of us are in 401 k instead of where we get a fixed amount of money. Melissa if you asked organized labor, they dont want to get off because you knew i was going to work for 20 years and retire for 40 years and always going to get the same amountof money and knew what i was getting. With a 401 k we all contribute but if the stock market goes down, you are in trouble. It seems the individual person this may be more costeffective with a person consuming the product closerrto what the real price is, but it will cost me more. The big three automakers had goldplated pensionenefits and now they cannot compete. We need a position to accept more responsibility, more choice. Melissa it seems pretty questionable timing when the october 1 the public exchanges are supposed to be ready to go. I cannot imagine they are really ready to go. Theyve already said th saidt some glitches. And lots of suppliers and Insurance Companies playing in this market and they want to bring similar tools employers looking to control costs. Melissa always believe private does better than public. We need the public exchanges . That is a good question. The private exchanges should be better because they will not have the regulations, they can wrap other benefits like life insurance, dental insurance. Onestop shopping the way you might buy your phone and cable. Melissa anyway government will get involved in private exchanges for the people onto those instead . Why dont we just give you a voucher for that. They are regulated and have a lot more flex ability designed coverage good for their employees. Melissa i need more information on this, can you come back . Thank you so much. Next on money, they started brewing tea in their garage and they built a multimillion dollars giant. Now the founders have a new playbook on how to do it yourself and are here to tell us about their sweet secrets of success. And who made money toda stay tuned for the answer coming up. Straight ahead. Melissa no matter what time it is, money is always on the move. Shares of pep boys taking a hit after hours. Consumers are gobbling up new cars, but it may not be good news for the auto parts retailer reporting disappointing Second Quarter earnings fueled by a decline in sales. Pat boys also announced it has acquired 17 new locations in california this month, but investors are not so happy with the news. Okay. So do you want the honest truth about how to be successful . Listen up, says goldman and barry nelda your my neighbor in a realize. I just fell in buried in the elevator. Now you know. He started off brewing tea in there kitchen and turn that into a company they sold for more than 50 million. And for everyone out there like me who is dying to start their own business, these guys has written a virtual playbook on exactly how to do it. All the secrets of success and how you can follow in there footsteps, the honest tea cofounders themselves. I got the book. I love the book. What i love about it is really, we have it right there. Cartoon style, which is fantastic and makes it easy to read, but it is very much your story of exactly h you did it in by size pieces we can all read and enjoy and understand and then you break out the exact lessons. Before we get into the house of what the white. Seth, you started out wanting to change the world. You went into government, and it is charity. I read in the beginning something that made my heart sank. You think business can be a bigger agent of change in society than government and charity. Thats right. It is profound. Look at the health in the United States. We have backed company that ranks 40th in average life expectancy, even though we of the wealthiest countryn the world. The government is not going to solve that. It is what we do and how we live and what we eat. So what honest tea is about and a lot of other companies are looking at creating not just Healthy Products among but delicious product that can really help change diets. Melissa what is a problem that government is trying to solve that you think the business could do better . Well, if we could have 100 million, billion people drinking honest tea, the health benefits, less sugar. Changes health care. Melissa does not just a commercial for honest tea. There are other products. Melissa of more Food Companies went out there. If more Food Companies and an it would be a great business and also slimmed down kids. And healthy. Melissa i like that. What a lot of things in the book, a lot of times you guys got to a crossroad and its something crazy that was unexpected. A lot of different points, or you did something where other people would have given up. What was the craziest thing that happened . I would say the craziest thing we ever did was writing a book which gave away all of our secrets. You think about corporate spies, they want to get the inside scoop the my recipes, Business Plan to marketing strategy. You dont have to spy on us. Basically, we have given it all away. Melissa you have already done it and soldier company to cocacola. The company. But it is our whole approach of business that we are sharing. Not just that we want to share that. We want others to copy it, not necessarily into the organic tea category, but across the business world. Melissa is there another category that you think would fit this mold perfectly . Certainly if you look at the snack world, there are a lot of products where the help function could be better. A lot of snack foods taste great but are not necessarily helping our population than any health care. Melissa what is the biggest mistake. Monday that the and do things. You have to study this problem forever. Is somewhat paradoxical. The big mistake Many Companies make is taking on too much money. Melissa interesting. The problem is too much money can make a stupid you spend it as if its not yours. Melissa is never enough. I may have to throw you off. He may have to go. When you make mistakes they end up being bigger and more costly miskes. When you need to raise money next summer stronghold. En you start off being a little bit more conservative about what you take can be the smarter way to. And as an investor you want the entrepreneur to spend the money like their spending in out of their own wallet. Really making sure every decision can be justified. Melissa another thing that you say, a lot of people. Franchise friday where people go out and think about growing the business for themselves. The taken idea that is already working which makes a lot of sense. This applies. One of the things to say is dont go into a business that you are only 50 percent passionate about. One of the Great Stories in the book was, did you when the Business School press . Thats right. Melissa for a diaper. A urinar
