11:00 pm
to the finest coorts above. we're not simply saluting history... we're making it. neil: forget syria, focus on s&p, you know it is a matter of time before we're at war with that country, but i want to focus on a very real war going on with a rating agency. they are working to downgrade this country, political weapons that are far, far more financially devastating. welcome i am neil cavuto, does this script sound familiar, i could be talking about texas voter i.d. law that triggered a justice deputy lawsuit or arizona crackdown on illegal that triggered a justice department lawsuit, but not a state. i am talking about an
11:01 pm
independent company, an inspect independent company that made the mistake of challenging the white house, now paying dearly, that company, standard & poor's, a rating ages not much different from other rating agents like moody's. companies that botched the financial meltdown, where is this government going after just one sinner? just s&p. neil: to hear s&p tell it here is why, because the firm had odd as --ed on atty on -- downgrade the country. a routine to which we've become accustomed but s&p pulled trigger, now faces a loaded gun. justice deputy said there is no
11:02 pm
connection it reason why it is seeking civil pen ate is because s&p are egregious. investing into securities that were too junky. step back, whatever your thoughts about s&p ask yourself why it is the one being singled out, because moody's and fitch pulled some fast ones but they done downgrade the u.s., did they? texas and arizona got served with federal lawsuits as a result of their efforts. there will be briefs, a lot
11:03 pm
of briefs. for any of all who are of a mind to challenge, the judge said none of this is surprising,. >> look, s&p standard & poor's is a rating agent. they look at assets they look at credit history, they give an opinion under score opinion. on the creditworthiness of the entity they are examine, was their opinion truly their opinion when they gave it? or did they give it for some nefarious reason? there is no such thing as a false opinion, as long as speaker of the opinion holds that opinion, under the amendment they can express it. the government did not like what the s&p said about it. set, the president said that 14 amendment might allow me to cancel the debt or pri print mo.
11:04 pm
democrats saying we have to spend more money than we can generate from tech revenue, who would not come up with the opinion that investing in federal government of united states of america in 2010 was not investing in pristine debt. neil: not worthy of a triple day rating, now administratio argues that this has nothing to do with it but with the firm's behavior right up to financial meltdown. now, i acknowledge as much they screwed up but they had company. by the way with congress, and other ratings agents, only thing i could think that would single them out is that move to downgrade our debt. >> if freeh rating agents say -- three rating agents they is a credit of the swaps might work out, it might be a worthy investment people put their money in credit default swaps,
11:05 pm
they all lose money, they were all bad, why did just one get sued by the fed? that credit rating company, standard & poor's, as you pointed out, said look twice befo you buy federal bonds, if the government is not going to pay those bonds back you will be stuck. neil: they were the only ones that pulled trigger, fitch and moody's, they were threatening to do, that say said we might have to put them on a credit watch. they never pull the trigger though, s&p did, it shocked world. and defense we heard tetz was at the time was that u.s. always makes good on its debt because we can just print money, s&p saw the lun as we that -- lunacey with that.
11:06 pm
>> look, if s&p decided that cav oucavuto enterprises inc. was unrlded and could suffer, they could sue s&p but when s&p says that about the government, government is restrained by the first amendment, that basically has been interpreted by court as means there is no such thing as a false opinion, if you give an opinion, and everyone opinions it is an opinion, you can say whatever you want. so in s&p's opinion, the government was not worthy. neil: they keep that out of this. >> only for why government went after s&p, not after fitch and moody's who essentially made the same generallation about credit default waps before 2008.
11:07 pm
>> thank you. neil: connection other big brother dots here, you have nsa, irs all watching, too much for the next guest. with me now is mark. you have seen all this, latest sort of -- you know retribution against a tomorrow that dared to lower u.s. credit rating. when president obama said it was unnecessary, what is going on? >> it is tried ending frightenis is an attempt to shut down whoever would question the federal government. you have a pat everyone here you speak out, you say the emperor has no clothes, you get abuse for it, but if you coop quiet, and go along with the game no one comes to harass you. neil: i would extent it to big
11:08 pm
firm, remember jamie dimon practically had a disney fastpass to the white house then he started speaking nast to the white house then there were big finds, and paying on a trade, and a fine for it, i wonder why it happened? >> this is one of the real problem in my opinion with this crony-type capitalism we have, if you are willing to play along and presend it is fine, you will -- pretend it is fine, you will be taken care of, but if you are willing to point out the fraud in the second somebody will come after you. it shuts down debate, it shuts down transparency. it shuts down accountability. we have seen this where can you are willing to speak out gain the government they will come
11:09 pm
after you, if you ar threat, this makes nixon looks like he was shy. it is frightening, one of the incredible things to me that is the same department of justice suing lenders telling them they are not making enough lone and risks but somehow s&p is it blame for not pointing out you on risky the loans were? >> there is a -- mark great thank you. >> my pleasure. neil: struggle over syria goes odo we stay out or do we go in? up next ronald reagan national security advisor on why he actually agree with that president, bud mcfarland said that hitting syria now will be worth it in the end.

11:13 pm
general jack king and others have pointed out the vulnerability of the assad regime, to take effective action, not a pin prick. go after the infrastructure, that would allow russia to resupply syria with chemical weapons perhaps. they are vulnerable. we could do it from offshore without putting boots on the ground. but make clear to asawed we will not tolerate the -- to assad we will not tolerate use of chemical weapons and let the good guys know of what we intends to do here. to eploit whenever act is taken. but both byitting air feels preventing russias from resupplying letting good guys know what we're doing, and doing it emphatically we may have accomplished something. neil: this the meantime we're awaiting that response, and president with a press conference in sweden today, said
11:14 pm
of it not about his credibility but really how credible u.s. congress. is and said my credibly is not on the line. sort of doubled down saying i that did not say a red line, echoing a point a new white house talking point echoedly likes of nancy pelosi and others that humanitarian set the red ine, but i do remember a red line comment, what do you make of this? >> you could go back to 1925, when all civilized nations set the red line. in treatsy that -- treaty that bans use of chemical weapons. the point is not to point the finger about who set that red line, the point is doing something effective about it. neil: is there a problem with the way that president has handled this in typical military
11:15 pm
argument that been he is giving assad plenty of time to move stuff, hide stuff, and that because he is given so many mixed messages he has confused world? >> are he can car that away by acting effectively now, we say going back two years we could see this coming, so act earlier, clearly would have been better, so here we are fish or cut bait and do it well. neil: i want your sense of whether there is a strategy to the white house's thinking that maybet does not want this politician passed. in its heart of hearts it is going through the motions, gestures but, its real desire is to pull out of the region, cut defense spending and be done with it? >> we cannot put all of the region.
11:16 pm
this region through oil supplies global economy. and for us to allow it to drift from conlike t to -- conflict to crisis. the squeezing of israel, and ferment brewing throughout the area to pull out of it is simply irresponsible. and cannot be done. the point is that this administration has acknowledged it must act, let's just make sure that thatby do is effective. and heavy. >> bud mcfarland thank you, my friend. >> take care. neil: to a guy named pat who disagrees with bud, pat buchanan's beef is not the mission but the person leading that mission. you think there is another agenda. >> let ple let me agree with my,
11:17 pm
colleague, he wants a robust attack that does damage and brings down the outside regime, we could do that. unquestion abily if you went in, all out, but the consequence of that would be syria, which is all broken up, where dominant forces were muslim brotherhood and al qaeda, what would follow that is the massacre of the christians. then the united states would have a hellish problem on its hand, before this occurred no one,n this country or almost no one behides mcdansain and hi- mccain and his colleagues wanted to enter us into a syria civil war we don't want al qaeda
11:18 pm
in power, what this is, behind the scenes, this syrian war is the dress rehearsal for the war on iran. it is the backdoor to the war on iran. the people you see champions robust attacks and bringing down assad, and going -- are the same ones who want to go to war with iraq, do not want to negotiate with the new regime, we're appalled when something of a moderate regime in iranian terms was elected to negotiate with the united states i understand mccain if mccain says if you do a light attack, you are not going to bring down assad, you are not going to degrade him muchly, what is going on happen is retaliation against u.s. or its allies or interests, it will look like a victory for assad.
11:19 pm
>> you are worried that either way it is a slipper slope for us? >> neil, there is no vital american interest in assad's down fall, no vital american interest in this war. >> you mean that better the devil you know than the one you don't? >> there is certainly, with assad, and his father we dealt with them for 40 years, i was with nixon he flew out to meet hafis assad, u.s. is dealith those people, the insanity would be if you read this morning what happened in libya, it is just broken all apart with militia all over, it is a hellish failed state, it is an incubate or of terrorism. >> thank you, patrick.

neil: time for tonight's cavuto clash, issue one, a $4 trillion hole with your name on it and yourual tote pay for it total --
11:24 pm
wallet to pay for it that is total shortfall. get ready for more detroit but make sure none of them get one of your dollar. >> scotty, said you are thinking of the big picture it is scarey. >> very scary, you look at these unions, what they have done they bankrupteed off community. neil: all right now, when you look at this christian, a good point they sort of pile up. what is your view? >> well, first of all, neil and scotty, you look at under funding of pensions not just in states with rates of unioning a, but among all states, unions have nothing to do with it and $4 trillion is really, a ridiculous number. not anywhere close to what the
11:25 pm
real pension shortfalls are, and third,. neil: looks at unfunded liabilities it could bring in other factors that could narrow that but it is a big number. >> sure it is a number. but, you know why do we have that number? it comes not just from the benefits that are afforded people it comes from that could that states is in type good andd underfunded their pension obligations it has to do with how states have gone about funding their obligation. neil: scotty, if that is the case, onus will fall back on the municipalities and the states they all share the blame. everyone should have to do something, union cult more and leaders have to not keep blaming the union? >> listen, i will give unions the benefit of the doubt, when
11:26 pm
they first started they were good, out for the american worker. and made sure we had a healthy workplace, this is 2013, we don't live in st. claire a 's jungle any more, all union has done is serve as a front for democratic party, and put in policies that bankrupt large municipalities and idea of having a peptio a tension in --n in 2013 does not exist unless you are a government employee. neil: ravens, is not different from katy perry and bill clinton. to sell this, is law already royally plucked. >> scotty, you say this thing is for the birds, let these ravens play ball. >> listen good news in this, i

11:28 pm
are not reached by government bureaucracy. the fact that the ravens can reach out to people, let them know about what the law mht mean for them is a huge win for taxpayers. neil: you are a smart guy. you are influenced by what a big name says? either about a movie or a politician or about a law? i find it interesting but i don't care. >> i'm not, there are a lot of impressionable people who are, if that is what it takes to reach them. neil: that is not the people that watch this show, we're discussing the wrong issue, will that make a difference to christian's point it the get more buzz from cool regarded people, talking up something that otherwise gets talk downed? >> i think that biggest question are they getting in anyway paid or added benefits that has to do

11:34 pm
sequestration cut, had we not had those it would be terrific. >> but counter point so obvious who went for and proposed that sequestration, it was barack obama and the white house, who gutted military by a trillion dollars his own last secretary of i defense panetta said, we wl not have the a bu ability to ded ourselves or our allies, this is his doing. >> people like you -- but, during the break, being of italian dissent, i never forget a slight. if i am any of these congressmen and women, and i hear you just ripped me a new one for every failure we've had or you had, now you come crawling back to support you on a resolution that you might or might not follow through on?
11:35 pm
i don't think so. >> politicians also have long memories, most presidents find it in their interest to bash congress. >> they don't do it 24/7. i remember ronald reagan would say i want act on the tax cuts butly and tip o'neill would have a drink in the private room, and come out with a resolution. this president has done none of that. so now he comes hat in hand, wants a congressional authorization, a lot of these folks, republicans and democrats, democrats for years said he does not show up on the hill, he does not talk to us, he just does his own thing, he does not even consider us a coequal branch of government, now he is
11:36 pm
coming to them, expecting them to do his bidding, that is why he is meeting a lot of resistance. neil: a couple -- wt amazes me how john kennedy worked with republicans to get that opposition of democrats. but because he had a reviewer of reservoir of goodwill, he was the able to get more done. >> this is what leadership is, you have three warn branches of government, this president has gone around congress, around constitution, cun less times, he -- countless time, he has always done whatever he wanted now all of a sudden he decides he nds political coverage, these folks have long memories they are saying, what have you didn't for us lately? >> you have to butter their bread. >> politics, leadership, he has
11:37 pm
done none. neil: monica crowley thank you. >> do you think hackers are gaining steam? now they are cutting power.

11:40 pm
next cyber ramp up could turn the power grids off, to retired air force colonial cedric said they have every right to be nervous, we still don't' what happened in venezuela but it looks look a hacking pattern. >> it could be like, other part they have a decrepit infrastructure. neil: it would be all the more vulnerable. >> the older the system is the more vulnerable it is easy to attack through cyber means or conventional sabotage means. neil: if the venezuelan president is trying to capitalize on politics from this, if we have seen power grids compromised we know that utility have been hacked defense
11:41 pm
establishment have been hacked. it is not a great leap to think that hackers could do veriable damage to country's whole infrastructure. >> in 2007,es estonia, one of te move wired countries in the worm world was attacked bed it was te things we've seen banking infrastructure in estonia laid to waste because of that, and same in georgia burying the invasion -- during the russianic vagurussiainvasion of georgia, a lot of different things going on in cybere realm. >> do you think there is something here? i think, i don't have your
11:42 pm
techno starts or military smarts, but there is a series of practice events. >> yes. absolutely, the way a lot of these people do their hacking attacks is they go on a reconnaissance mission, they find vulnerable points, the chinese for example are well-known as doing this, they hacked a whole company, brought it to its knees that were nortel corporation, that was in a 10 year period, there is no more nortel in the form that we knew, that is part of what they do. i can see the same thing happening with syria. neil: okay, let's hope on this case, you are wrong. really never are, so thank you very much. >> great seeing you, nile, thank you. neil: all right, i always knew that abercrombie & fitch hated fat people, now i am really beginning to hate their people,
