6:01 am
spending, you are not happy. tough. the president thinks even the mice -- smalst promised even for a living adjustments with some benefit programs that are not happening in republicans are not arguing. spding money like we have it and a farm bill that has little to do with arms it infrastructure spending when we have ltle to sow 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 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
6:02 am
their folding 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 obstructionist label and wear it for all it is worth. t they cower becau they don't want to be called names. but they will and i will be sure because this kind of behaor is what is wrong. tech on another $56 billion for grand kids? neil: an issue from the debt commission share said yesterday he is listed. >> it is alice in wonderland and it gets worse every day because this president will
6:03 am
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 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 anyof responsible budget a and hand it to my children. but they get away with this because the republicans dot say anything.
6:04 am
they just keepaising via debt ceiling that i prefer to call the ted they say it is not our fault but obamacare s effectively to points the finger at the repuicans and they tower they have a job to do. say no to ridiculo spending. neil: spending mey 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 for the dollar? my next guest is wondering of former republican and wisconsigovernor in former hhs secretary is years you have to wonder about the logic that they are using
6:05 am
now to avoid rocking the boat even as they sign on to mo 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 budget. it goes no place ahead, nowhere, the dead on arrival, the spokesperson for the white hous said it a political document but the republicans have to show leadership. but li the person befo has idicated that people out here are wondering what will take place. they understand working between eight and 10 hours a day they cannot spend money they don't have. republicans need to put a
6:06 am
stake in the ground but who is fiscally responsible? neil: you hit the nil on the head. ryan cousins of logic of e leaders to say we don't want another government st 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 are taking up and now the health care law i stabilizing. not that i it is great or he 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 nobodwill.
6:07 am
it is their dna. that is what the republican 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 e 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 they are in electrocuted. what is your advice? >> be straight with the american people. the entitlement programs are out ofine, we cannot afford them or continue to raise the debt over
6:08 am

6:14 am
trying to say that they think they are indestructible but this is the bullet proof stage but it was a clumsy way to frame at but y may not see q need health insurance but sign up now. did she impressed you? >> not really. she called it a knucklehead but i would say young people are reasoning with the health care law making a sound economic decision of a sudden the minimum policy has tripled? if you cannot afford it i will pay the small fine. thatis is a good consumers are live would disagree fundamentally. i think she meant what she said but i don't think she meant to say it provides think previously they will ge our generation as knuckleheads that they can
6:15 am
trick to vote for those policies. neil: that is interesting. we were showing the youth vote the last couple of ections overwhelmingly for the president and democrats as tends to be t case. maybe she just takes it for granted that people understand? >> i think they tried to playff of millenials card wa t long but they are disenchanted with the obama administration and policies. young america foundation nationwide pulling it is 40 percent think the government is too big and too intrusive as opposed 4% think it is too small. what's is resonatings the conservative values of limited government and free market policies. that is not obamacare and
6:16 am
when they see sticker shock premiums are going up because tey have the subsidized health care. neil: you should get on the stake and take care of me but you are not. but is there a potential even with all the problems the young peeple have second thoughts on government? to be very altruistic and generous? >> absolutely. altruism is easy when you spd other people's money. but actually the eggs under people's money doesn't need to be spent we pay the price. it is forced by coercion. young people as ashley just stated eloquently we are forced to pay for policies we will not benefit from as the big kraft our future and we cannot afford it.

blanket, civil immunity for massive, pervasive illegal conduct relating to inflating the subprime mortgage bble that caused the crash in 2008, which was the large crash since 1929 and it caused the worst economy sips the great depression. neil: who caused that? are you saying jpmorgan did or the govement 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 fai ban on wall street. neil: onhat point, i don't mean to jump onou because that is crucial point. the banks say, and jpmorgan says, punishment mete the out, 13 billion more than enough, ave 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 betwn the executive branch and the biggest, most politically-connected powerful bank in the united states, jpmorgan chase, with no accountability or oversight is
6:40 am
not permissible under our form of government. better markets is often cled the wall street watchdog bt we're also a government watchdog. we believe there has to be acaccountability 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 amerin 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. >> wel it is actlly 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 jpmorgan chase had 300 or $400 billion in liabilities do you think a $13 billion settlement would be very much? it wouldn't en be a slap on the wrist. neil: what would be? whatat would be? >> well we don't kw any of the facts. we do not know how muc money

morgan chase made from its illegal conduct. we don't know howuch investors lost. we don't know how much liabilities at stake. the department of justice didn't not even disclose which laws theylleged jpmorgan violated, who violated them or how. neil: all right. >> they constructed this deal to conceal, not reveato the americ people. so what they're tryg to do is sell this as being tough on wall street when providing no on including the american public, any informatioion that they can judge fr themselves. better markets we believe in transparency and accountability to the american people. until the american people have enoughnformation to judgeor themselves, there is no reason we should be trusting them. neil: dennis keller, thank you very, very much. >> thanks, neil. neil: switching gears ever so slightly. see this kate upton video. some viewe 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.
