we will see you next week. neil: so mch for new year's resoluons because you may try to stick tohat diet by washington gave up trying. welcome, everybody. i am nl cavuto. get ready to get back to continue more spending because it never stopped. ending the week withhe budg that is weak. a.m. did goodies for all inuding to keep democrats happy in benefits to keep reblican happy but if you are amon those who worry about the debt and more spending, you are not happy.

tough. the presidt thinks even the mice -- smalst promised even for a living adjustments with some benefit programs that are not happening in republicans are not arguing. spending money like we have it and a farm bill that has little to do with arms it infrastructure spending when we have little to show for those we have already spent with infrastructure. forget republicans crying foul they are not saying boo no wonder the tea party is boiling. now meee 80partier who does not take this lying down. the big rush to give up the fight and will likely keep losing elections as a result

their folding one after another. this is completely will not work itheir favor they ar afraid to be called obructnists that is almost laughable if i were a republican right now with the leadership position in that buildin iith rocks that obstructionist label and wear it for all it is worth. but they cower because they don't want to be called names. but they will and i will be sure because this kind of behavior ishat is wrong. tech on another $56 billion for grand kids? neil: an issue from t debt commission shareaid yesterday he is listed. >> it is alice in wonderland and it gets worse every day prel

fail as the president his legacy is imperiled if h does not do something. neil: but with the doing it withthos who are hangg their hats on hlth care exploding but have you noticed his poll numbers? they are beginning to move up some babies casting fortunes and then giving up spending resolve >> for republicans to say i am disappointed does not sell any more. so that the digest statement as when i will spend as much as 5.back up whenever debt and don't worry about any of responsibl budget a and hand it to my children. but th get away with this because the rublicans don't say anything.

they just keep raising via debt ceiling that i prefer to call the ted they say it is not our fault but obamacare has effectively to points the finger at the republicans and they tower in the of corner. they have a job to do. say no to ridiculous spending. neil: spending money that you don't have is wrong. always a pleasure. did republicans asked for this spending? the farm bill, and on and without a single attachment is it any wonder they keep going f the dollar? my next guest is wonderg of former republican and wisconsin governor in former hhs secretary is years yo have to wonder about the logic that they are using

now to avoid rocking the boat even as they sign on to more spending? >> absolutely. the truth is that the only good thing about the $56 billion tax increase budget battle, puts forth his $22 billion less than the last failed dget. it goes no place ahead, nowhere, the dead on arrival, t spokesperson for the white house said it is a political document but the republicans have to show adership. but like the person before has i indicated that people out here are wondering what will take place. they unrsta working between eight and 10 hours a day they cannot spend money they don't hav. republicans need to put a stake in the ground but who

is fiscally responsible? neil: you hit the nail on the head. ryan cousins of logic of the leaders to y we don't want another government shut down to be the obstructionist but the danger thinking health care wille germane in november you have to hope that continues to be the case the president's numbers are taking up and now the health care law is stabilizing. nothat it is great or he is a great psident but americans -- republicans have given up with the hope that they will get their way in november. i think they are eating their cake and a little too early to. >> if they don'stand up than nobody will.

it is their dna. that is what the replican party stands for fiscal responsibility that is what we're asking for. they don't like obamacare. is a failure. they want to make sure they don't pay grab to this country to put off on our sons and daughters and grandchildren. people are thirsty for a leadership they want republicans to be accountable with washington. neil: but theyay they get mixed messages below and behold when they have the cost of living increase then no, no, no. some rublicans fr they arin electrocuted. what is your advice? >> be straight with the american people. the entitlement programs are out of line, we cannot afford them or continue to raise the debt over

$17 trillion. we will bankpt this country it is time somebody says so to get the people behind us. they have to do it day in and day out and not wait for somebody else. they have to do it. ne: tommy thompson. former governor thank you. one way to not get young people on your side. >> the truth is young people are knuckleheads.

♪ neil: 13 billion bucks in fines not enough? to hear better markets ceo dennis keller tell it when it comes to jpmorgan n nearly enough. keller is so ticked off aut the settlemenhe is suing jpmorgan over tt settlement. he says the financial frm got off way too easy. the proof is rewarding its ceo jamie dimon with a $20 million pay package that made i look way too easy. so, dennis, you're suing on what ground and for how much? >> hi, neil. nice to see you. thanks foraving me. we're suing the department of justice actually because it exercised unilateral power by cutting a deal with jpmorgan chase behind closed doors where jpmorgan chase paid the executive branch $13 billion, and the executive branch acting through the department of justice gave jpmorgan chase complete,

blanket, civil immunity for massive, pervasive illegal conduct relating to inflating thsubprime mortgage bubble that caused the crash in 2008, which was the largest crash since 1929 and it caused the worst economy sips the great depression. neil: who caused that? are you saying jpmorgan did or the government looking the other way? plenty of blame to go around but certainly the crisis was caused by pervasive, fraudulent illegal, and sometimes criminal conduct by the too big to fail banks on ll street. neil: on that point, i don't mean to jump on you because that is crucial point. the banks say, and jpmorgan says, punishment mete the out, 13 billion more than enough, leave us alone and you're right. that's what they do say and what we're saying is, cutting a back-room deal that is secret between the executive branch and the biggest, most politically-connected powerful bank in the united states, jpmorgan chase, with no accounbility or oversight is not permissible under our form

of government. better markets is often called the wall street watchdog but we're also a government watchdog. we believe the has to be accountability on wall street and washington, d.c. and the way to get that is require the department of justice to submit this settlement to a federal court and let's see if it withstands the scrutiny of the light of day for the american people. neil: you know, i would sooner think get government upon us to find out this money earmarked to shareholder relief and those who were burned and relief for them, that actually goes to that intended purpose. i doubt that very much. >> well, it is actually not even all for that. $2 billion was a penalty -- neil: that's right. >> paid to the u.s. treasury. but, neil, askourself, i jpmorgan chase had 300 or $400 billion in liabilities do you think a $13 billion settlement would be very much? it wouldn't even be a slap on the wrist. neil: what would be? what would be? >> well weon't know any of the facts. we do not know w much money

jpmorgan chase made from its illegal conduct. we don't know how much investors lost. we don't know how much liabilities at stake. the department of justice didn't not even disclose which laws they alleged jpmorgan violated, who violated them or how. neil: all right. >> they constructed this deal to conceal, not reveal to the american people. so what they're trying to do is sell this as being tough on wall street when proving no one, including the american public, any informatn that they can judge for themselves. bett markets we believe in transparency and accountability to the american people. until the american people have enough infmation toudge for themselves, there is no reason we should be trusting them. il: dennis keller, tnk you ve, very much. >> thanks, neil. neil: switching gears ever so slightly. see this kate upton video. some viewers think we're way overdoing it guess what, apparently nine out of 10 of you think we are not overdoing it enough. tit-for-tat on the story we continue to shamelessly milk. we're on top of it.

take this sitting down anymore. they he lots of lawyers fighting back. they're no longer easy target -- neil: but they always le, on this kd of stuff they will only lose. >> wt will they lose for? you can't legislate morality, i have a lips today. no matte how hard they try. neil: kate upton video night is. neil: housing hitting 18-month low, on same day more people are opting to rent instead of buy. gary b., that normally, normally ominous sign for housing. what say you? >> i think it is ominous sign for housing. i think housing is on the decline no matter what you look at, new home sales, media prices since the start of 2013. there is plenty of people that have gone through, my gosh, last, 10, 15 years not seen the value of their house budge upwards. most people have seen decline. i think that the trend, at least for the next generation is to be more toward renting than buying. neil: yeah, but you know, the flip side is, they're prompted to rent, keith, because home

prices have gone up which inhe macro sense would assume be good, wouldn't it or no? >> i don't think so. i think it's a sign of the times. i'm with gary. wee seen a long thing coming this is lots of external supply, long-term supply. i've lived in asia where i see the opposite. i don't see that here. i wouldn'touch homeowner stocks anywhere in h between a twoy-four. neil: time for the night cap, gentlemen. point in the show, stuff you think abt tonight bright and early monday morning. gary b.? >> other than the jobs report, neil it is gdp look out. that comes out next friday. that is the best ok at how the economy at lea has been most recently. i think you' going to start to see signs where it is kind of fllt. neil: what if the gdp report covers, what period? last qrter? >> yes. last quarter. and -- neil: so before a lot of nasty ather hit? >> exactly. neil: this quarter looks like a

disaster. >> this quart will be horrible but even last quarter i think, with all the adjustments, everything, will still be flattish which honestly i think is indictment of this current administration. neil: ith what about you? >> well, said, gary, indtment of this administration, gary, absolutely. i'm struggling with a sense of y have view -- deja vu dot bomb be here. i don't like it. i think it is something wrong. makes the cove of "newsweek", boy here we go again. neil: i was thinking same thing which should concern you and run other way, when i see these type of valuations awarded to companies, i'm thinking that kid, snapchat or turned down $3 billion offer from facebk last fall? well, he is looking brilliant now. i don't know if that is a sign of his prescience or the market's craziness. >> makes you wonder. szukster is got money to spend.

this guy turning down three billion. where is reality in this? ybe they see something i don't. neil: called new paradigm. gary b., we talked about other paradigms went bust. i always think you got to invest, promises is one thing but profits invariably are the bottomine thing. we're going back to investing on that worries me. >> yeah. exactly. and i think you know, these new companies, and i still throw maybe it is not new anymore, but newish, even like google. certainly facebook is relativel ne they are so desperate for that next ee. it is like they have got to com up with the next great tng i think they're a gamble.

neil: keith, go ahe. >> we're using words and similarities between the.bomb be crisis. eyeballs. clicfactors. we're seeing all terms come back that is worrisome. neil: we've done kennedy: what did you do when you woke up this morning? maybe a blueberry muffin? will you have a glass of wine? don't look now. you are on drugs. and baseball fabian's with alex rodriguez has it ever occurred caffeine and sugar is your personal performance in hansard? without which it is another day at the office. you are human and you aren't on drugs. this is "the independents."
