uncle sam to bankroll a project. the idea stinks'. th............. we will see you next week. neil: so much for new year's resolutions becse you may try to stick to that diet by washington gave up trying. welcome, 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 wea. a.m. did goodies for all including to keep democrats happy in benefits to keep republicans happy but if you are among those who worry about the debt d more

spending, you are not happy. tough. the president thinks even the mice -- smallest promised even for a living adjustments wth 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 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 foldin one after another. this is completely wil not work in eir favor they are afraid to be called structionists 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. but they cower because they don't want to bealled names. but they will and i will be sure because this kind of behavior is what is wrong. tech on another $56 billion for grand kids? neil: an issue from the debt commission share sd yesterday he is listed. >> it is alice in wonderland and it gets worse eve day because this president will

fail as e president his legacy is impiled if he does not do something. neil: but with the doing it wth 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 ging 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 responsible budget a a hand it to my children. but they get away with this because the republicans don't say anything.

they just keep raising via debt ceiling that i prefer to call the ted they say it is n o 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, d 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 wisconsin governor in former hhs secretary is years you have to wonder about the

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

stake in the ground but who is fiscally responsible? neil: you hit the nail on th 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 are taking up and now the health care law is stabilizing. not that it is great or he is a great president but americans -- republicans have given up with the hope that they will get their w 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't like obamacare. is a faire. they want to make sure they don't pay gb to this country to put off on our sons and daughters and grandchiren. people are thirsty for leadership they want republicans to be accountable with washington. neil: but they sy they get mixed messag 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 of line, we cannot afford them or continue to

raise the debt over $17 trillion. we will bankrupt this country it is time somody 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 youngeople are knuckleheads.

requires. neil: is it a felony? is it a felony? no, that is felony. gigive me your phone. >> right. she told him she was recordiig hill. she did what florida law requires. requires both parties are informed. they're informed being recorded. she is fully aowed to record him. >> no one informsme when i'm pulled over, you know, that the dashboard cam on the cop's car is on. he doesn't tell me, by the way you're being recorded right now. it is just done. no one checked with me. >> right. well that is the police. they're allow to do a lot more things than normal citizens are. the fact she was complying with the law in this situation. the cop clearly lost his temper. neil: what do you think? >> neil, i actually agree with you guys. the cop did go wayoo far. but really have to question what was the woman's motivation. traffic law.he vie rate ad the cop had every right to pull her over, ask her questions, give her a cation.

instead of letting him do that, letting it be she preemptively records the officer even before he gets to her car. neil: she told him, she was. so it is not as if she pull ad fast one. >> why was she doing it? why was she doing it, neil? neil: maybe his demeanor or language or said something. >> it was before, it was before even came up to the car. e already started recording. neil: what is wrong with her recording? let's say nothing precipitated. what is wrong wither recording? what did she do wrong? >> there is nothing wrong. there is nothing wrong i agree she had every legal right to record this officer but you listen to the tape, you know when an officer give you a reasonable command, when he is pullg you over, neil you follow that command. neil: no. a lot o them are bullies. they love power. come over. and all of sudden. >> right. neil: no. >> pulled he out of the car. neil: one at a time.

one at a time. ashley, on that poi alone i think officer overstepped it but, not only abusive tone and demeanor but making a big stinkk over something i think was genuinely harmless. >> and i think that people should record their interactions with police more often because we're ending up wh he said/she saids a lot of times after the fact. the police are better off regarding -- recording all their interactions. can put a camera on lapel. you mentioned earlier, neil, recording on their cars. th're smart to do that i would like to see all the police departnts use that. if a citizen was to record them, i don't see any problem with it. i think that is their right. we're playing for police officers to patrol our areas and keep us safe. we want to keep our cell phones on to record them, i don't have any problem with that. neil: nadia? >> i don't have a problem with it either. excuse me, i think when a police officer pulls you ove and he is requesting put the phone down, give me your phonelet me see your hands, police officers need

a certain level of authority over people. that is what they do. neil: what if shead, okay. like you want to see the hands if she had a weapon. what ifhe had the phone lying on the dashboard? he would still want it. none of his business. >> good question. i'm not defending what this police officer did but at end of the day i think he fell into her trap. she was being very combative. arguing. like looking for a fight. guess what, neil? she is running to the court house steps and trying to sue for millions and millions of dollars. seems she is not being mother teresa here. if she had a reasonable belief he was pulling her over illegally. neil: can you imagine if mother teresa were ave and y pull her over and record every word. >> she was trying to record. neil: ladies thank you very much. meantime jpmorgan pace up millions of fines to the government and still gives the executive big pay raises. i you to meet the guy who says, that is not a settlement. that's a sham.

neil: 13 billion bucks in fines not enough? to hear better markets ceo dennis keller tell it when it comes topmorgan not nearly enough. keller is so ticked off about the settlement he is suing jpmorgan over that settlemen he says the financial firm got off way too easy. the proof is rarding 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. wee suing the department of juste tually because it exercised unilateral power by cutting a deal with jpmorgan chase behind csed doors where jpmorgan chase paid the executive branch $13 billion, and the executive branch acting through the dertment of justice gave

jpmorgan chase comete, blanket, civil immunity for massive, pervasive illgal 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 worst economy sips the great depression. neil: who caused that? are you saying jpmorgan did 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 crimal conduct by the too big to fail banks on wall street. neil: on that point, i don't mean to jump on you because that is crucial point. the banks say,nd 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 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 thereas 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'see if it withstands the scrutiny of t light of day for the american people. neil: you know, i would soor think get government upon us to findut this money earmarked to shareholder relief and those who re 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. bu 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 even be a slap on the wrist. neil: what would be? what would be? >> well we don't know any of the facts. we do not know how much money

jpmorgan chase madem its illegal conduct. we don't know how much investors lost. we don't know how much liabilities at stake. the department of justiceidn't not even disclose which laws they alleged jpmorgan violate who violated them or how. neil: all right. >> they constructed this deal to conceal, not reveal to the american pple. so what they'rerying to do is sell this as being tough on wall street when providing no one, including the amecan public, any information that they can judge for themselves. better markets we believe in transparency and accountability to themerican people. until the american people have enough information toudge for themselves, there is no reason we should be trusting them. neil: deis keller, thank y very, veryuc >> thanks, neil. neil: switching gears ever so slightly. see this kate upton video. some viewers think we're way overdoing it. guess wha apparently nine out of 10 of you think we are not overdoing it enough. tit-fotat on the story we continue to shamelessly milk.
