8:01 pm
i don't think anyone fully identifies either party. they are taking the position that they have to be pure. neil: and ideological type of thing. >> exactly. i would loveto see a third-party form. the parties don't haveto be perfect. up up up up up up up up. neil: are you setting up a group? why not? >> well, it'sot even so much mo. it has to be something that you think about. >> i have 10,000 things goin on.
8:02 pm
there was unity 2008, other folks have approached me. i am more than willingo listen. what you think of those who who have initiated and been targeted by the erez? >> i don't look at these things. i'm not paranoid to say that what is happening on the republican side, i'm not buying it. honestly, i'm more on the side that it's not a scandal. because i think that goes to the purity whenever you take something and you take on 100 actions, you can anecdotal lives eyesnd create any kind of story that you want. >> there was a pattern that. >> yes, there are multiple patterns. when you have 10,000 instances, it's the signal and the noise. you can find 100 and call it a pattrn that it's not really one. but more importantly, i'm not trying to dismiss what anyone's
8:03 pm
doing. more importantly, if you go out and you accomplish things, if we argoing out there and congress is doing things, all of those things become rther and fall to the wayside. it's just that whenveryone has to be so pure in everythinthat they are doing, they like to victimize themselves because it helps confirm their purity. i've been picked on as an ample. >> you are a big supporter of the president? >> yes. i think that he is a very smart guy. >> he is smart enough to understand and i've had a problem with him, but i generally support what he has done in a big way. but i think transparency is important. and i think we live in a time en there is so much technological opportunity we
8:04 pm
really need transparency all these people can do smart things neil: you are mr. internet star, you have your frtune and now there are signs of abuses. okay, so how do you see this? >> i don't see it as a big deal. i get audited almost every day. all of my foundations get audited pretty much everyday. most of my businesses get audited. >> will he have democratic and republican administrations alike? >> the business still has to compete. i start to do things. with the nsa, it's disappointing that we had to find out about it in the way in which weid. but in reality, if you think that your mailbox was protected
8:05 pm
and they couldn't find out what theyanted to and it was not nearly as muchprivacy is what people would like to expct, particularly in a time where i would rather be protected. neil: so it is that ba? >> oh, yeah, it is that bad. neil: either hacking or websites shutting down, the latest with stagram, so many others, "the washington post" and "the new york times." again and again. do you see a pattern? >> you better believe it. every single digital asset that we have is under attack. >> do you think we are really under attack. >> snack of course. >> so there are technical algorithms? >> it may well be. it's still under attack. and you have to keep your defenses up. so in talkg about the defense budget. if i had my choice between
8:06 pm
spending money on metal or digital protection, i will go withigital protection every single day of the week. if you look at russia. and there are conversations, witha warship, it is a situation where it takes a number o years to build. all of the technology in the warship is already obsolete. and it's not going to serve the purpose then. on top of that, if i want to destabilize the united states, do you think i will attack a port or an ally? or should i attack the nasdaq, the new york stock exchange? neil: so you think this is part of folks that have these intentions. >> oh, definitely. are you kidding? that is why i am such an opponent of high frequency trading. i've talked to people in the administration were they say what they think the biggest threat is.
8:07 pm
if i ant to destabilize the economy of the united states, i set up a fund of trading this and then all of a sudden, i have a fat finger and make a i make a mistake knowing that it's going to trigger downstream 20 that event. neil: coming up, don't tell mike tyson this because he might punch yo out. the former heyweight boxing champion is here and he is angry. and regis philbin hasn't gotten his cell. it that is here to tell you why he isn't close to being done with tv. and bill gates is putting some money where his mouth is. money where his mouth is. what shold give republicans
8:10 pm
8:11 pm
>> you only say that, and then you end up punching people. [laughter] >> it's like watching a train wreck, but people like watching it. so do you think that's true? >> yes, that is what this country breathes. they breed hate and violence. >> but you said that beast. >> i look at myself and say, what was going on? i was really insure about who i was in really insecure to be doing what i was doing and i was just angry and i was very angry. i had no and that was really proud of my accomplishments. no one that truly uderstood. and it's day by day.
8:12 pm
>> we had a good sense of humor, he started laughing at yourself and i think the were very comfortable in that they don't take yourself too seriously. >> yes, i had to allow myself to be part of that. >> that you are the part of that here. you know that fight where you are standing toe to toe, you look so scary. the would scare people right here in atlanta. we were showing don king and are you angry by their? >> yes, to this day i didn't realize it, i had no idea what resentment really meant.
8:13 pm

[laughter] and they'd say, what is this about. >> i'm wondering, you joke out yourself, an 8-year-old guy,
8:20 pm
would he thnk of this? >> i think that it can be done. i hope it can be done. instead of just athletes, we need entertainers in there as well. we have a guy coming up next wednesday on the show, bill cosby. who played defensive back for temple university. theyre growing into a pretty good football machine. so all of a sudden on my notre dame schedule this year, it's the first game that they play and bill cosby do about as well. and i said, we have to get them on the show. he flew down to philadelphito give the team a pep talk. [laughter] neil: you have a pretty impressive rolodex over the years. the president, stars, all of
8:21 pm
that. neil: everyone says you get the reviews and it sounds so similar to the fox news experience. seventeen years ago. how different are they. espn ruling the roost. but does it bother you? you just move on? >> i haven' heard that yet. people are interested in seeing how we will approach it and what we will offer for support and everything else. >> you have a lot of these other issues as well. the new connections, you are a have connections as well. i noticed that it's bigger with your personality. is that by design? espn is a sports and events, is about personality? >> i didn't expect to be woking with five other people, but they
8:22 pm
ha put such interesting people in there. they have a great football player from the baltimore ravens, the nfl, two super bowls, and a rrific guy named trevor pryce. neil: anyone you hate they think will be a problem? >> no, definitely not. they flew in a gal named georgie thompson from england. >> it's interesting that this country, its it's big one our kids are young and then after that, not so much. >> you are absolutely right. they areplaying soccer and everywhere you go as you dre around new york city. and so the emphasis is definitely on soccer, and we talk about it every day.
8:23 pm
neil: it sems like you are a suivor. but you're a nice guy survivor. usually people surve an they have sort f an evil quality to them if they do survive. [laughter] neil: you're a nice gy. you seem to just love what you do. u have a great ppssion in your >> thank u very much. i do love television. the. neil: that's the guinness book of world records and tv. >> it did become that i never thought of it in all those years when i was at notre dame, nothing. but i was in the service and i would say it looks like fun, but what can i do? i don't have a broadcasting
8:24 pm
voice and i have no talent. so the day that i left, i was in the navy and i used it hang around with two older marines, two tough guys, they went in as private and they are no majors. but anyway, they said, what you want to do in your life now that u are leaving. and i said, well, you know, i would like to be on television. but i really d't have any talent at that. i look at these people on tv with great actors and actionsof voices and he got to my face and said, don't you know that you can have anything you want in this life? you only have to want it bad enough. and do you want it. and i said, well, and he said, i
8:25 pm

8:28 pm
neil: out of all my interviews with bill gates, the one that you are about to see is the most meaningful and consequential. because he is worrying about the good that we do as a country, threatened by a paralyzed washington that is doing nothing at all for our country. bill gates has a few choice words for republicans are handing out foreign aid. >> a lot of it was not well
8:29 pm
directed. and so sending money to people who are on our sid versus their side, you know, that's what it was about. now it has become metric driven. can you literally sav lives for well under 1% and by saving those lives, you avoid the kind of population growth and instability that leads to national security issues in countries like nigeria and yemen and if we let them tribble and population because we don't help with the issues, these are humanitarian and it really points to this, with one of the more measured parts of the entire budget. >> you would draw a line between
8:30 pm
this and john kerry for the muslim brotherhood of egypt and criticizing at, saying that we don't know if that is the case in what used it will go to? >> that's right, getting into countries that are a little bit better off, the complexities, how do they view their relationship with the u.s. were we so entangled that there was a counter reaction that? what we aren, aids, malaria, the science part of that and a delivery part of that. that's when we say, this is so impactful and so wonderful that we will take her own money and we will joan green in and be a partner in some unbelievable
8:31 pm
programs on a regular basis. neil: your money appears to be impactful and your efforts seem to be impactful as well. i'm sure in no sall measure. but the u.s. track record on this is kind of dicey and even global efforts after the disasters, calling into question whether money gets to the right recipients and the haiti earthquake is always used as an example. the 2 billion raised by governments and private enterprises and the like and was recently in haiti. unless i missed something, it is just disasters with famine and abuse as it ever was. so that is what worries me. so you wrote today that the number of children that are dying every year has gone to 8 million and those with extreme
8:32 pm
poverty have been cut in half thanks to foreign aid. i see examples where that's not the case. >> well, wait a minute. you should've gone to haiti before the earthquake. >> i did. >> it was a very tough place before the earthquake. >> a lot of the money didn't get spent, a lot of it did get spent to put things back to restoration. so there you are just making up for a huge setback and in terms of health, where you get families to be more healthy, they choose to have less children and their the numbers could not be clearer. my money is in th same pot and it a fairly small percentage. the money from the foundation, this evening. and it's really undethe bush administration that this global
8:33 pm
health piece went from being a tiny piece of the budget to over half of aids and mlaria and neglected diseases. and that is where we work and have experti on and that is completely because we are in thereooking at the numbers all the time. >> i think smart folks, i think they would right away get it to you in right away rough your foundation. because you do get a lot of bang for the buck. a fan of higher taxes on the upper income and the government doing mo and spending more and when he had this, though, he chosto commit the money and not to the u.s. government. what does that tell you? >> it tells me that we have three sectors, the private sect that is the iggest and is phenomenal.
8:34 pm
anything they can do in terms of the needs that people can pay. it's fantastic. and we have things like education or government comes in and philanthropy, it can be more innovative and willing to take far out science and new delivery programs. so there is a complemtary rol ae and so often we are taking this expertise and we talking about what we know and where we have a common view. i am a big fan of philanthropy because it's almost like the venture capitalism of societal spending. somemes we get teachers to have more feedba and rse the average quality. it's not a typical thing that a government uld do so i really love all the of
8:35 pm
the sectors and i'm trying to make sure that the money is well spent. and that is my full-time job now. neil: someone who has urged the government to do more and spend more, i guess he had a choice between committing more oney d to pursue these goals for you and he chose you. >> that is true. i mean, we need tound whatever activities we need to do. that includes the gap and how close the gap. and we would like to encourage philanthropy because in my view it has a good impact and each one of these sectors, we have to wake up and do better every day for the government. so how do you balance the budget, that is one of those big challenges and everybody has opinions about that.
8:36 pm
>> you are right about that. if i could go back to philanthropy itself and whether this higher tax environment, there's a lot of worries with a few charitablefoundations. one way that we have had is whether we will get an impact is where we will have lasting contributions. do you worry about that? >> well, politically is very important. the u.s. is very unique in not only the scale but the breadth of it and it's not just them who give philanthropy and in some ways it's even more impressive that the non-rich are so generous in ths country and if you look at it state by stae, you're talking about 5% of income, where it's more like 2%
8:37 pm
else where in that the broad movement and we have very good ngo, certainly there could be cut back their, although it could be deductible that is cu both ways. but what you nt to do is find a balance between these important programs and, okay, and you'll have to pay for them at some point. >> okay, so you think that we have that proper bance with the increases? >> i tnk that we are running a higher deficit than we would like in the long-term and there's a very important argument bout shaking up the economy and how do you phase in that balance and in a sense, it is a stimulus to the economy and we still need that level of stimulus. including the medical costs.
8:38 pm
and it would be not to argue about whether the citizen pays or the government pays, beginning the increases to be more in line with the economy, which they haven't been in a goodthat the government actually protects those increases. so are there things that could be done to get more innovation on the cost reduction and they are, we haven't seen enough thinking and what i see about the medical stuff in poor countries is very suggestive that the efficiency side would be ideal because then it is not zero-sum betwe citizen versus government. >> do you ever envision us, the foundation and the responsibilities and that it's enough to keep you jazzing going for the rest of your life? >> well, i certainly miss this i get to spend about 15% of my
8:39 pm
time on it. but my full-time commitment is to the foundaon. i spend my time on polio ratification and wit the partners, we hope to get that done. then we can focus on malaria and tuberculosis and eating tht down from the 7 million that it is now, even down to 3 million over the next three years. neil: i think your friend warren buffett has said that they want to give it all away. and i'm wondering th her three children, have you told them this as well and if they are looking at a huge inheritance that it's not coming? >> well,we talk about the vast majority of the wealth going to the foundaton. all of his money is spent within 10 years and not quite in the foundations and even their it's
8:40 pm
our foundation and his children's foundation and its set up after we are gone, our foundation will spend its money within 20 years and, you know, our kids are excited about the foundation and they will get a great college education and some support as well. they are very lucky. >> i think that giving a kid hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, it's actually n good for the kids or for societ neil: suzanne sñ@ç@çpçpçpç÷ñ
8:44 pm
fans? >> oh, absolutely. >> he looks good. neil: no wonder. i am just waiting for suzanne somers to ask me to join her in the next fitness infomercial and she is joining me now, telling me that she has ideas to get kids healthy so they can grow up to look like me. [applause] >> you do not haveo bring someone over the hd. >> i think putting up fitness centers are great and having kids play, go outside and play. it's just wonderful. and i wrote a ook about why we are obese and i think i have the answer. it's not how much we are eating, it's eating chemicals and liver in particular has no way to process that, keeping this off and the more chemicals we take
8:45 pm
inco and the more fattening things are and we store it. so it's a never ending problem. neil: how old are you now? >> next wek i will be 67 years old. neil: oh, my goodness. you look great. >> i'm trying to be ageless, not younger than myage. but ageless. neil: me and you both. [laughter] >> sometimes it's not just what you eat. it could be hormones. what is the deal with that? >> well, first of all, women are accelerating and ing now because of oxins. neil: do you live with a woman? >> just. neil: do know what i'm saying that there aren't days? well, some men with women that ey might say -- yes, she is a
8:46 pm
little hot and she can't sleep and she ages and all of these things. it means that u are declining in hormones. so if youhave a maserati come you would never put subpar fuel into it. so when oil is below the normal level, you would put the oil back in because otherwise you're going to run that c into the ground and the same thing with a woman. why not put back what we are missing when we decline in hormones. neil: but doctors don't seem to do that. but how do people do his? >> hmone doctors, we went to medical schools, all the best medical schools. but they realize that they do have limitations and they put this toghewith thesese kinds of doctors at trevor health.com. you go there free, the route yo to the qalified doctors nearest
8:47 pm
you and they give you the requisites for a blood test and very inexpensive. neil: it's not like a frankenstein deal? >> i've e been doing this for a ng time. i've even had cancer is. neil: that's so true. and so i wouldn't have. [laughter] >> i don't think i would have gotten cancer if i knew then what i know now. i was estrogen dominant and what that means is that curvy women with big boobs and all that. all of these fox girls. [laughter] and what happens is it is an anti-carcinogenic component of our hormonal symphony. when you don't have the cancer protective park may part from you rest on protected and i was
8:48 pm
very low on progesterone, but i didn't know it. if women resist, it will be life-changing for them in the women that they were wet. neil: how many die masters did you sell? >> we stopped counting at 10 million. [laughter] neil: that's amazing. >> when u're an entrepreneur, you burst of cursed up at the wall and you hope something sticks. neil: you look wonderful. >> i always admire that you came and you made me love you.

8:54 pm
>> we want everything but their bank statements. credit scores, how we do it money, and then we will talk. >> it is not unreasonable. we can all decide what is most important in our life. be it looks or personality or even money. >> what is ally critically important is a credit report. >> yes, that is right. >> go ahead. >> this iabout cmpatibility. you won't be happy with someone who is a fitness person.
8:55 pm
whether it's leisure or health, we see people who are compatible. >> what you are saying is that this is part of compatibility. neil: think about what you just said. whether she has a good credit score or not, you think that says more about her than, oh, i don't know, decency?

8:56 pm
>> exactly. >> if you saw donald trump in 1991, his credit score wasnot that good. neil: exactly. you money grubbing fool. >> like i'm saying, i really don't think this is necessarily that kind of compatibility thing. the fact of the matter is that we are seeing a lot of things crop up, including before this, the sugar daddy website and the student loans. >> what about someone who has a nice smile? [laughter] >> i agree. but the fact of the matter is that people have t right to choose who they want to be with, whether it's wh money or not, and i don't know, like i sad, i think the economy has a lo to do with this. neil: the final hours, we are
