the strength of their lives, the kind of strength we've seen in all these held hostages, including kayla mueller. kayla devoted her life to serving those in need around the world, to refugees in syria who had lost everything, she was a source of comfort and hope before her tragic death she was held by isil in syria for a year and a half and during her captivity kayla managed to smuggle a letter to her family. she said none of us could have known it would be this long, but i know i'm also fight fwrg my side in the ways that i am able and i have a lot of fight left in me. i'm not breaking down and i will not give in no matter how long it takes. today my message to anyone who harms americans is that we do not forget. our reach is long, justice will be done. my message to every american being held unjustly around the world who is fighting from the inside to survive another day, my message to their families who long to hold them once more that the united states of america will never stop working to reunite you with your family. we will not give up no matter how long it takes thank you very mu

kayla with what you need to know. >>> the fed's decision on interest rates, just two hours away now, but it's janet yellen's news conference at 2:30, where the real fireworks could happen. that's where we kick things off today. steve liesman will likely be asking the fed chair a question today. but first he joins us from washington with what investors should really expect to happen. and steve, the fed chair's communications skills are going to be put to the test today, i think. >> i think that's right, scott. what we're going to see is the fed will almost certainly upgrade the economic outlook today. the question ask whether or not it's going to be strong enough to definitively signal a rate hike in the months ahead. the cnbc rapid update says gdp is running about 3% rate in the second quarter. job growth averages 250,000 the past two months. wage growth, 2.3% year over year. up p brn 3% compared to the last payroll report. so clues about whether the hike is coming, we'll be watching the dot plot. watching it closely. are the fed members' own forecast for rate hikes in the years ahea

the kind of strength we have seen in all of these held hostages including kayla mueller, you know. kayla devoted her life to serving those in need around the world, to refugees in syria who lost everything. she was a source of comfort and hope before her tragic death she was held by isil in syria for a year and a half and during her captivity she managed to smuggle a letter to her family. she said none of us could have known it would be this long but i know i'm also fighting for my side? the ways i am able and i have a lot of fight left in me i am not breaking down and i will not give in no matter how long it takes. today my message to anyone that harms mefrns is we do not forget. our reach is long. just diswill be done. my message to every american being held unjustly around the world who is fighting from the inside to survive another day, my message to their families who long to hold them once more is that the united states of america will never stop working to reunite you with your family. we will not give up no matter how long it takes. thank you very much, everybody. >> that w

but thank you, kayla. here is a look at some of the other companies that went public with really only one product. a little bit like fitbit, right? so zinga had its farmville game. that stock is down 70% from its ipo price. then we got king digital with its hit game at the time candy crush. and that stock is down 36%. next, gopro. fortunately a much different story, at least so far. the stock is up about 144% from its ipo price. when it went public with its hero camera. so what do you think fitbit's fate will be, guys, here? what do you think? >> a couple different things. one, fitbit valued at $4 billion is a bite size acquisition for anybody in this space. and and we know the space continues to grow even with apple watch. that's one thing. number two, if we look at those other names, it's difficult to say. most ipos are one-trick ponies. when amazon came public it was an online bookstore, that's it. when you're looking at ipos, you have to say there's going to be more to this company. in this year ipos h

>> well kayla, i'm here in the lobby of the historic fairmont hotel in san francisco. where a room can cost you nearly $500 a night. that might seem pricey. but even basic hotel rooms in silicon valley have become some of the most expensive in the world. a hotel room is now going to run you an average of about $300 a night. that's $100 more expensive than it was a year ago. and that means silicon valley is more expensive than new york and london. so what is driving up prices? well if you talk to people in the industry, they'll say there's a relatively limited supply of hotel rooms here, and strong demand, thanks to the booming tech economy. another reason they'll say is that as the tech companies get bigger and bigger, it means they're attracting more and more potential partners, flying in every day here to silicon valley. for those meetings and deals. >> there's nothing that can replace a face-to-face meeting. nothing that can replace a meeting at the google plex or facebook or twitter headquarters. that's why people are coming to silicon valley, coming to san francis

we can learn from the example of the strength we have seen in all of these held hostage, including kayla mueller. kayla devoted her life to serving those in need around the world, to refugees in syria who lost everything. she was a source of comfort and hope. before her tragic death, she was held by isil in syria for a year and a half and during her activity she managed to smuggle a letter to her family. she said "none of us could have known it would be this long, but i know i am also fighting for my side in the ways i am able and i have a lot of fight left in me. i'm not breaking in and i will give in a matter how long it takes." today, my message to anyone who harms americans is that we do not forget. our reach is long justice will , be done. my message to every american being held unjustly around the world who was fighting from the inside to survive another day, my message to their families who want to hold them once more, is that the united states of america will never stop working to reunite you with your family. we will not give up, no matter how long it takes. thank you very much,

kayla? >> to broaden the conversation back to the decision to invade iraq, kofi annan said this was an illegal war, a war of aggression. so based under the nuremberg tribunal, what about accountability for that? amy goodman mentioned accountability. would you call it an illegal war right off the bat? mr. goss: in terms of strictly american legality, i know the authorization to use force, you had the initial authorization to use force against afghanistan in the fall, winter of 2001, and you had congress go on record essentially giving bush the authority to use force if he thought that was appropriate. and again, we should point out there was decent bipartisan support for giving bush's authority. hillary clinton, joe biden harry reid, john kerry, richard gephardt, etc., etc. so from a strictly american standpoint, i have a hard time viewing iraq as an illegal war. it is certainly -- where obama it was certainly more legal than president obama's use of force in libya without going to congress a

the obama administration spent months hearing concerns from families of hostages like kayla mueller, james foley. >> improved the process of communicating with families who have loved ones who are going through this terrible situation. >> the administration is setting up an interagency fusion center at the fbi to keep families in the loop. the u.s. government will not pay ransoms directly to terrorists. some fear allowing families to pay could be dangerous. >>> right now, police are trying to determine who stuffed a body into a trash can and set it on fire in the district. this happened yesterday behind a vacant property along holbrook terrace. neighbors are calling the crime senseless. >>> and we now know more information about the suspect in the mansion murder in d.c. cnn reports the man charged in the case daron wint has a cousin who was fired from the american ironworks company. that cousin threatened to burn the place down. sources tell cnn, the company retained a restraining order against the cousin. the company is owned by one of the victims, savvas savopoulos. and sources say

can tell you very candidly that there were opportunities for james foley there are opportunities for kayla mull in, and opportunities for -- but the information that was communicated to those families, if you go ahead and try to raise money or even exchange money, the threat of prosecution hangs out there. there were offers on the table. underscore that. when you're dealing with people who are then ultimately asking for $130 million or $200 million, we know that's a non-starter. what we do to isis on the battlefield has a direct impact ongoings >> so it used to be lear clear. you are saying that previous government policies that were in place up until today may have caused the death of americas that might have been saved? >> no, i'm not saying that. i really want to be very clear on this. this is not a change in u.s. government policy. it's the president clarifying what that policy is. the fbi has always allowed for discussions by private citizens to go forward, because they're trying to learn from the discussions that are underway. we bring all kind of assets to the table. and that's what

having spoken to, having talked with families of captives, that includes two americans murdered by isis, kayla mueller who you see on the the screen and james foley as well. >> many of the families told us they felt like an after thought or distraction. that too often the law enforcement or military intelligence officials they were interacting with were begrudging in giving them information. and that ends today. i'm making it clear these families are to be treated like what they are, our trusted partners and active partners in the recovery of their loved ones. >> the white house had another stunning revelation on wednesday. an adviser says more than 30, 30 americans are currently being held hostage overseas, that includes those held by terrorist groups, drug cartels and criminal gangs. >>> now we will speak with david roed rhodes. he was held captive by the taliban. this is a big day for hostages' families. tell us what the current reality is for them. the perception is they can't speak to anyone in the government. the government provides very little information and they can, in fact, be punis
