There were a whole series of organizations primarily focused locally. Werent focused on the homeland. Melissa president obama addressing his controversial tee time after the murder of u. S. Journalist james foley. After the statement, that i made, that, you know, i should have anticipated the optics. You know, that is part of the job. Part of this job is also the theater of it. Melissa all right, here now to discuss simon constabling of the wall street journal. Jack hough, Senior Editor of barrons and dan schaefer, schaefer asset management. I want to ask each of you what does he have to say on wednesday after you will of that, simon . American people want him to defeat isis and needs to say what is necessary to convince them whatever that may be. Melissa convince them that he can do it. To do it. They want to be behind him. Had is one of the few things no one wants to him to fail and win and win big. Melissa jack, what does he need to say . There is a view of the president that is he aloof and not paying attention and that is he on the golf course. Im not convinced of. That the president create ad narrative in the head. Im the guy who got america out of iraq and wants to stick to that narrative to the end even when facts on the ground radically changed. I want to hear something from him hey, the facts radically changed and we need to change our course and do something about it. Melissa okay, dan . He need to come out and be strong. He needs to show that the United States still has power. Not give details of the plan because we dont want to do that, but needs to come out with a definite, confident plan to take action and pull this off. Melissa wasnt it so insulting part of this job is theater. It is not theater. You simply dont go golfing right after you talked about the terrible beheading. Down come across as the most sincere apology youre apologizing for optics. Not even apologizing. Melissa i have to put on a show. No, not about the show. It was what was behind sentiment going golfing on back of this horrific event. With comments he made it is showing it is a show to him. He is out there and tv and radio all the time with these little sound bites. It is just im possible to do that and to run this office and be powerful as a leader in this country. Sometimes the less you say, the stronger you are. Melissa all right. Russia finding a new method for combating further sanctions, suggesting it could ban western airlines from flighting over russia. This is no small thing. That is a big piece of real estate theyre talking about there. Jack, would this make a big difference . Will make it difficult for smaller airplanes struggling with profitability but look melissa smaller . I think it is problem for a lot of folks. If russia wants to wage economic war. Russia has the size of economy of italy. But talk about amounn of goods theyre neckandneck with panama. Were not going to lose that war. We know this situation will hurt them more than it hurts us but continues to reinforce there is new cold war and americans are the bad guys and i feel like their leaders dont care about the economic damage. Melissa yeah. I think this is one of those situations where you have to give two parties, negotiating an someone is backed into corner, they need be to given an option to get out and save face. Melissa really . I dont know. Because otherwise people dig n i realize that is unpopular thing to say. Melissa i dont think anything will stop putin from dig in. Russia is promising to start manufacturing more airplanes and reduce dependence on boeing. I dont know if you ridden on soviet airplane, like theyre made on gilligans island. Good luck. Melissa gm recent ignition switch nightmare wont stop it from delving into driverless cars. Ceo mary barra says models will come in cadillac next two years. Are you going to look for this car. Absolutely not. Melissa only if youre drunk, right . They are worried about people making out in the back seat while the car is driving. Melissa stop it stop it i heard that. Think about it, i saw a vision, somebody reading a book while car driving itself. I do not melissa a book. That is the least of what people will be doing while the car is driving itself. I think this is Dangerous Technology and cars communicating to each other. Melissa i am surprised about this. Another executive in the car industry talk about the fact we were decade away from, develop the system where cars communicate with each other. You think 2016, are we 2016 from this. Maybe a decade. Dangerous technology. Im not for people doing whatever in the back seats of their cars while cars are moving. Dangerous technology is human beings driving cars. Million 1 2 people worldwide die in car accidents. Melissa we have to work on that. Alibaba is slated to be the biggest ipo ever but never know it by talking to investors. Client inquiries into alibaba appealing to other highprofile offerings. Just half interest generated by twitter at the same stage. Supposed to be the biggest deal of all time but people are not focused on investing it what is the problem . We dont use alibaba here . It is not used here but it is a chinese company. It is not, it is a foreign entity which a lot of people are getting concerned about. Yeah. We dont really know the details. I know several chinese stocks have not filed their reports and quarters behind. In the auditing goes on how do you really know what the company is. Melissa is that or are people afraid the tech bubble is about to burst . I was going to say that. Nobody has any money to invest. We had a story in barrons magazine about questionable melissa good plug. Get that from the boss. Melissa perfect. Questions investors ought to be asking, what happens when more users shift to mobile. This companys profitability drops dramatically in mobile versus desktop. Look how theyre spending money on acquisitions. Very questionable acquisitions. Melissa simon what do you think. I think accounting issues are very important. Melissa yeah. If you have a wellaudited Financial Statement you can do comparisons in the u. S. , presuming there is no fraud. Im not sure what they mean. Have you heard this story . Another nba owner finding himself in very hot water . Bruce levenson will sell the Atlanta Hawks after admitting to series of offensive emails. He said in a statement, trivialized our fans making clicheed assumptions about interest, i. E. , hiphop versus country and white versus black cheerleaders. Stereotyping perception of one another, that white fans might be afraid of black fans. This one one of the first ones to come out and say the league will not tolerate this when it came to Donald Sterling. I probably get myself in hot water. Melissa i love that. Donald sterling came across as crazy racist. He came across, our business has not enough black customers but not enough white customers. Companies like nike look how to shift Customer Base and collect millions of dollars. Melissa maybe he saw Donald Sterling came out like robber baron and laughing all the way to the bank. Wait a second, you know what . I wrote offensive things too. Somebody come buy my team from me. This could be what happened. I dont know, what do you think . You know, i think is very sad when things like that come out. I think it is really is. Doesnt reflect well on anyone. Nobody end up looking good out of this. Melissa but he could end up rich . He could. I agree with jack. This was a demographic business conversation. It wasnt, what i would consider antiracial, racial issue. Where is freedom of speech. I dont agree what he said. Business point of view, every cop in the world looks at demographics. Networks look at dim graphics. It is part of marketing. I dont disagree with that part of it. Melissa one of the best store is of the day, everybody excited about the new royal baby many months from being born already center after geopolitical controversy. The royal family announcing that the dutch chris of cambridge is second with her child, timing of this announcement, tern days ahead of the Scottish Independence vote, it is raising some eyebrows. Worth noting that kate and williamette in scotland at university. Maybe they name the baby scotty . Is raising eyebrows, a all nonbotox eyebrows are raised everywhere you go. I know that for sure. Raising eyebrows. Give it the right scottish played blankky. Hamisk mcwindsor. Melissa i didnt think of that one. I think it is in the story. Melissa absolutely. Dan, you want to pile on there . If she is pregnant, that is great. We dont even know. Maybe theyre working on it now. We have no clue. No confirmation. A whole conspiracy theory. Melissa youre a official brit here. What do you think . Tell us the truth what is really going on . I think a lot of people really love the royal family. I dont know whether it swayed at you will but i think a lot of people love the royal family. You could think it has impact were raising our nonbotox eyebrows . It is interesting. Melissa thankings l, guys. The big convenient iphone slowdown. Apple users say devices are starting to freeze up. It comes right before the launch of the new iphone 6. Might be just a coincidence, right . Plus 100 bucks and your family, for a whole seven weeks, that is, all the ravioli you can shake a stick at in one of the most audacious promotions in restaurant history, but could you really eat all that pasta for nearly two months straight . Challenge accepted. Bowls full of money coming up. Im there. [ breathing deeply ] [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] [ inhales ] [ male announcer ] at cvs health, we took a deep breath.

It has only been on sale for six weeks. Lets go to Nicole Petallides on floor of New York Stock Exchange with the scoop on this one. It is under a buck, nicole . It seems unreal. Amazon fire phone is now available for 99 cents. What . From 199, down to 99 cents . That is for the 32 gigabyte version. You have to have a two Year Contract but you still get the amazon prime. You still get the Customer Service and also the cloud, and storage for your photos and ability to order online. They do have two versions, the bigger version, the 64 gig version will tell for 199. They say that this 99cent deal is for a limited time offer. I mean, i wonder if it expires by the closing bell or if something that will keep on going . It really has been perceived as somewhat of a flop. Meantime amazon is expanding with their fire phone over to the u. K. And germany as well. I was listening to a Radio Program over the weekend where the d. J. S is that what theyre called on radio, actually had these fire phones, melissa, they couldnt say enough bit. They loved it. The apps were available. You dont have to load the apps. They seem to be going on and on. I dont know if amazon is paying them on the side. Melissa that is exactly what i was going to say. Were those folks paid . Certainly in industry viewed as somewhat of a slow growth flop. Melissa nicole, thanks so much for that. Is your iphone running a little slow today . You might not be alone. As apple counts down to the big event tomorrow, new questions are raised whether the tech giant deliberately slows down its old models just ahead of release of the new one. How dastardly a study by Harvard University page shows the spike in google searches for quote, iphones slow around the new iphone launch dates. Here is mashable senior tech analyst christina warren. Jack an dan are back with us as well. I dont know. I mean i wouldnt put it past them. Seems like they say, somebody in the New York Times raised question, even though it is new york rhymes, they could be consciencely the operating system only works properly with the current model. I think it is possible. What do you think, christina . No, no. Melissa come on they definitely add versions in the os that make newest phones run better and faster but cant necessarily work on the old versions. Melissa thats it. They consciously engineer it the old phones dont work as well as soon as new operating system comes up. What they say the new features are not available on old phones. What they intend to do, new iphone released every september, right . Somebody had their phone, a year, two years, three years, searching my iphone is slow, two years after they get a phone. Melissa everyone from the launch, all of sudden, rebooting. Youre rebooting. This didnt happen a short time ago. What do you think . No more closely watched piece of technology on planet earth. Every time a new phone comes out you have the whole pocket protector set taking it apart and posting pictures on the internet like theyre showing pornography or Something Like that. Its a pornography. Wow. What you come out with the desktop computers, with windows and new intel chip to run the new windows. Melissa liked planned obsolescence, designed to fall apart, when the warranty goes away. What the lease comes up your car false apart, not coincidence. I had a phone with carrier, wont mention the name, it was unlimit thed. When they decided to get rid of unlimited contacts it slowed down and seeing this study, this statistically looks very accurate. Melissa speaking of porn, im not really sure this is it, less than a day before the big event a new video is showing off alleged iphone 6. Only time will tell if this phone is the real deal but meantime, techcrunch is reporting that apple is already flexing its supply chain muscle by shipping so many units, that it is causing delays for other manufacturers. Hmmm. First of all what did you think of the picture of the new fon, porn or not porn. Im surprised you didnt have to pixel late it. Melissa it looks pretty fabulous. It is bigger. Size is everything. Size matters especially in porn. Melissa moving on stop this. Move on to other line of questioning. The supply chain are they intentionally slowing down shipments of other models shipping so many of these theyre screwing with fedex and ups . I dont know if, i would say intentionally, certainly not doing anything to stop it. Theyre thehundred pound gorilla. When they have a new phone coming out everyone else has move aside and make way. Melissa it is the time for the final county down. Jo liig kent is at big event, 1 00 p. M. Eastern. Risk reward, the Phenomenal Program that precedes this one, catch Dierdre Bolton and wireless worth every day this week. In case you werent grumpy enough in the morning, a new app lets complete strangers call you for morning wakeup call. Im not kidding about that. If it doesnt sound creepy enough, the app tries to pair you with someone your age of the opposite gender because that is the way you want it find true love, right . Wait, theres more. While youre sleeping if no one available to wake you up, the app reverts to your normal alarm clock, sad trombone. Wa, wa, either some sort of bizarre dating game in Early Morning hours or nobody picked you and wanted to call you. You just get your phone. That is tough way to start the game. You see video image. Melissa the video image first in the morning would not be great. Some like nudity, pervert. Melissa hopefully. May be a voice, maybe they anticipated that problem. I want to say, doing in lying, that do nothing like that, i want to give you a pleasant hello. Melissa there are a lot of problems. Are you trying this early on . No, maybe . Youre considering it, which i find shocking. Are you considering it . Try it only for also. To see how weird this thing is. I think this will be like chat rule let sort of thing. Melissa chat rule let. Become a caller, not receiver. Melissa im neither friendly nor rational in the morning. I dont think it will be great. It wont be great. What . Thanks, guys.

The Baltimore Ravens have cut ray rice, in a beat moments ago. The nfl say they have terminated the run backs contract this afternoon. What youre looking at right here. Is this really disturbing video to say the least. That surfaced from inside of the elevator. We had known about this incident, but there had been angle from the outside where you see him dragging his then fiance, now wife out of the elevator. After hitting her. What has surfaced now, courtesy of tmz was video inside of the elevator. That is, almost impossible to watch. But as it has circulated out there, the cries have come for the nfl to do something about this. Now we are hearing, that the ravens have released him. I want to bring in bruce terkel, who was on here for another segment. This is really the forte here, i want to ask you, did they have a choice . And is he out of business or does he somehow make a come back from this horrific video . Bruce . The ravens had no choice. Once you have the video and, lets face it, video confirmation, whatever happened in the legal system almost becomes irrelevant because he has been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. And this video now adays, based on technology will travel and follow him everywhere he goes
