nice office. how you doing? good. automatic discnts the ment you sign up. we will see you nextweek. neil: so mch for new year's resolutions because you may try to stick to that diet by washington gave up trying. weome, everybody. i am neil cavuto. get ready to get back to continue more spending because it never stopped. ending the week with the budget that is weak. a.m. did goodies for all including to keep democra happin benefits to keep republicans happy but if you are among those who worry abt the debt and more spending, you are not happy.

tough. the president thinks even the mice -- smallest promised even for a living adjustments with some benefit programs that are not happening in republicans are not arguing. spending money like we have itnd a farmill that has little to do with arms it infrastructu 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 i boiling. now meee 80 partier 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 lding one after another. this is completely will not work in their favor they are afraid to be called obstructionists that is almost laughable if i were a republican right now with the leadership position in that building i with rocks that obstructiist 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 becau this kindof behavior is what is wrong. tech o another $56 billion for grand kids? neil: an issuerom the debt commission share said yesterday he is listed. >> it is alice in wonderland and it gets worse every day because this president will

fail as the president his legacy is imperiled if he does not do something. neil: but with the doing it with those who are hanging their hats on health 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 disappointe does not sell any more. so that the digest statement as when i will spend as much as 5.back up whenever dt and don't worry about any of responsible budget a and hand it to my children. but they get away with this because the republicans don't say anythin

they just keep raising via debt ceiling that i prefer to call the ted they say it is not o fault bu obamacare has effectively to points the fger 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 spendg? the farm bill, and on and without a single attachment is it any wonder they keep going for the dollar? my next guest is woering of former republican and sconsin governor in former hhs secretary isears you have to wonder about the logic th they are using

now to avoid rocking th boat even as they sign on to more spending? >> absolutely. truth is that thy good thing about the $56 billion tax increase budget battle, puts forth his $22 billion less th the last failed budget. it goes no place ahead, nowhere, the dead on arrival, the spokeerson for the white house said it is a political document but the republica have to show leadership. but like the person before ha indicated that people out here are woering what will take place. they understand working between eight and 10 hours a day they cannot spend money they don't have. republicans neeto 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 say we don't want another government shut down to be the obstructionist but the danger thinking health care will be germane in november you have to hope that continues to be the case the president's numbers a taking up and now the health care law is stabilizing. nothat it is great ohe is a great president 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't stand up than nobody will.

it is their dna. that is what the republican party stands for fiscal responsibility that is what we're asking for. they don like obamacare. is a flure. 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 leadershiphey want republics to be accountable with washington. neil: but they say they get mixed messages below and behold when they have the cost of living increase then no, no, no. some republicans fear th are in electrocuted. what is your advice? >> be straight with the american people. the entitlement programs are out of line, we cnnot afford them or contie to raise the debt over

$17 trillion. we will bankrupt 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. neil: 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 billi bucks in fines not enough? to hear better markets ceo dennis keller tell it when it comes to jpmorgan not nearly enough. keller is so ticked off about the settlement he is suing jpmorgan over that settlement. he says the financial firm got off way too easy. the proof is rewarding its ceo jamie dimon with a $20 million pay package that made it look way too easy. so, dennis, you're suing on what ground and for how much? >> hi, neil. nice to see you. thanks for having 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 jpmoan chase complete,

blanket, civil immunity for massive, pervasive illegal conduct relating to inflating the subprime mortgage bubble that caused the crash in 2008, which was the largest crash since 1929 and it caused the worstconomy sips the great depression neil: who caused that? are you saying jpmorgan did or the government looking the other way? >> there is 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 wall street. neil: on that point, i don't me to jump on you because that is crucial point. the banks say, and jpmorgan says, punishment mete t 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 accountability 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 there has toe accountability on wall street and washington, d.c. and the way to get that is reqequire the department of justice to submit this settlement to a federal court and let's see if it withstands the scrutiny of the ght of day for the american people. neil: you know, i would sooner think get government upon us to find out this money earmarked to shareholr 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, ask yourself, if jprgan 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 b what would be? >> well we don't know any of the facts. we do not know how 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 whichaws they alleged jpmorgan violad, who violated them or how. neilall 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 providing no one, including the american public, any informatn that they can judge for themselves. better mkets we believe in transparency and accountability to the arican people. until the american people have enough information to judge for themselves, the ieason we should be trusting them. neil: dennis keller, thank you veryvery much. >> thanks, neil. neil: switching gears ever so slightly. see this kate upton video. some viewers tnk 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.

prices haveone up which in the 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. we've seen a long thing coming this i lots of external supply, long-term supply. i've lived in asia where i see the oppite. i don't see that here. i wouldn't touch homeowner stocks anywhere in here beten a two-by-four. neil: time for the night cap, gentlemen. point the show, stuff you think about tonight bright and early monday morning. gary b.? >> other than the jobs report, neil it is gdp number that i look out. that comes out next friday. that is the best look at how the economy at least has been most recently. i think you're going to start to see signs where it is kind of fllt. neil: what if the gdp report covers, what period? last quarter? >> yes. last quarter and -- neil: so before a lot of nasty weather h? >> exact. neil: this quarter looks like a

disaster. >> this quarter will be horrible but even last quarter i think, with a the adjustments, everything, will still be flattish which honestly i think is indictment of this current administration. neil: keith what about you? >> well, said, gary, indictment of this administration, gary, absolute. i'm struggling with a sense of day have view -- deja vu dot bomb be here. i don't like it. i think it is something wrong. makes the cover o "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 valuationswaded to companies, i'm thinking that kid, snapchat or turned down $3 billion offer from facebook last fall? well, he is looking brilliant now. i don't know if that is a sign of his pscience or the market's craziness. >> makes you wonder. szukster is got mey to spend.

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

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