8:03 pm
doing. more importantly, if you go out and you accomplish things, if we are going out there and congress is doing things, all of those things become farther and fall to the wayside. it's just that when everyone has to be so pure in everything that they are doing, they like to victimize themselves because it helps confirm their purity. i've been picked on as an example. >> 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 when there is so much technological opportunity we

8:25 pm
said do you want it. and i said yes, sir, i do. the first time i was able to actually say that. [laughter] so one of my producers filled in for mike douglas and roger was for mike douglas and roger was there. myad has atror afib.illation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietaryestrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. adaxa is not f people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your docr.
8:26 pm
stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effec include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one re. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order.

[ male aouncer ] it shouldn't be this hard. with creditcards.com, it's easy to search hundreds of cards and ply online. creditcards.com. 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 it was not well
8:29 pm
directed. and so sending money to people who are on our side versus their side, you know, that's what it was about. now it has become metric driven. can you literally save lives f 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 em tribble and population because we don'help with the issues, these are humanitarian and it really points to this, with one of the more measured parts of the entire bdget. >> you would draw a line between
8:30 pm
this and john kerry for the muslim brotherhood f egypt and criticing that, saying that we don't know if that is the case in wht 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 counr reaction that? what we are focused on what we have chosen to take and the money that i have more money that warren buffett has given, 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
8:31 pm
we will joan green in and be a partner in some unbelievable rograms 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 small 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 i was recently in haiti. unless i missed something, it is just disasters with famine and abuse as it ever was.
8:32 pm
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 poverty have been cut in half thanks to foreign aid. i see examples where that's not the se. >> 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 the same pot and it's a fairly small percentage.
8:33 pm
the money from the foundation, this evening. and it's really under the bush administration that this global health piece went from being a tiny piece of the budget to over half of aids and malaria and neglected diseases. and that is where we work and have expertise on and that is completely because we are in there looking at the numbers all the time. >> i think smart folks, i think they would right away get it to you in right away through 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 more and spending more and when he had this, though, he chose to commit the money and
8:34 pm
not to the u.s. government. whadoes that tell you? >> it tells me that we have three sectors, the private sector that is the biggest and is phenomenal. 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 complementary role and so often we are taking this expertise and were 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. sometimes we get teachers to
8:35 pm
have more feedback and raise the average quality. it's not a typical thing that a government would do. so i really love all three of 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 end more, i guess he had a choice between committing more mon and to pursue these goals for you and he chose you. >> that is true. i mean, we need to fund whatever activities we need to do. that inclus 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
8:36 pm
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. >> you are right about that. if i could go back to philanthropy itself and whethe this higher tax environment, there's a lot of worries with a few charitable foundations. one way that we have had is whether we will get an impact is where we will have lasting contributions. do you worry about tt? >> 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 geneus in this country and if
8:37 pm
you look at it state by state, you're talking about 5% of income, where it's more like 2% 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 cut both ways. but what you want 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 balance with the increases? >> i think that we are rning a higher deficit than we would like in the long-term and there's a very important argument about shaking up the economy d how do you phase in that balance and in a sense, it
8:38 pm
is a stimulus to the economy and we still need that level of stimulus. including the medical costs. 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 good that the government actually protects those increases. so are there things that could be done to get more innovatio 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 i not zero-sum between citizen versus government. >> do you ever envision us, the foundation and the responsibilities an that it's
8:39 pm
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 time on it. but my full-time commitment is to the foundation. i spend my time on polio ratification and with the partners, we hope to get that done. then we can focus on malaria and tuberculosis and eating that down from the 7 million that it is now, ev 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 with 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 foundation.
8:40 pm
all of his money is spent within 10 years and not quite in the foundations and even their it's 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 not good for the kids or for society. neil: suzanne sñ@ç@çpçpçpç÷ñ
8:44 pm
>> are you guys neil cavuto fans? >> oh, absolutely. >> he looks good. neil: no wonder. i am just waiting for suzanne somers to ask me to join er in the next fitness infomercial and she is joining me now, telling me that she has ideas too get kids healthy so they can grow up to look like me. [applause] >> you do not have to bring someone over the head. >> i think putting up fitness centers are great and having kids play, go outside and play. it's just wonderful. and i wrote a book 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
8:45 pm
process that, keeping this off and the more chemics we take income and the more fattening things are and we store it. so it's a neer ending problem. neil: how old are you now? >> next week i will be 67 years old. neil: oh,my goodness. you look great. >> i'm trying to be ageless, not younger than my age. but ageless. neil: me and you both. aughter] >> 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 aging now because of toxins. neil: do you live with a woman? >> just. neil: do know what i'm saying
8:46 pm
that there aren't days? well, some men with women that they might say -- yes, she is a little hot and she can't sleep and she ages and all of these things. it means that you are declining in hormones. so if you have a maserati come you would never put bpar 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 car 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 this? >> hormone doctors, we went to medical sools, all the best medical schools. but they realize that they d have limitations and they put
8:47 pm
this together with these kinds of doctors attrevor health.com. you go there free, the route you to the qualified doctors nearest you and they give you the requisites for a blood test and very inexpensive. neil: it's not like a frankenstein deal? >> i've been doing this for a long time. i've even had cancer is. neil: at'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 a what that means is that curvy women with big boobs and all of that. all of these fox girls.
