♪ ♪ neil: welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto. if republicans can't kill the health care on their own, consider this their hail mary pass. arguing that there is a higher authority they must answer to. not the supreme court. because their argument isn't about the cost of the health care law or those supposedly provided in health care law. this is about the devil in the details of that law. the double himself dominating the theme of outlaw and the law of the founder called hobby lobby, saying that the bullet

points are key features. this company and many others are doing just like it. acb affordable care act affords little time and violates their religious freedom. that is their way of saying that the law itself is a sin and they cannot sign onto it and that includes coverage for birth control, contraceptive mandates and even abortions to which they are adamantly opposed. and if hobby lobby's please ardmore, this would need the ultimate slap in the face to free speech and what a slap in the face to god. i think you should watch this one carefully because this isn't about the spirit of the health care law. this is about a group arguing that there is no sphere in the health care law. invalid and immoral and impossible. with me now is daniel.

good to have your. >> thank you for having me. >> the position here is that it's a violation of the religious freedom restoration act and not so much a violation of the first amendment but something that the senate had approved an overwhelmingly endorsed as a sort of failsafe all first amendment thing. >> with the religious freedom restoration act is protect american citizens from being forced by the government to violate their religious beliefs. unless the government has a really good reason and enforces it and in a way that is like a laser like focus, not just a broad sweep with everything also we are concerned about, but something very specific area of your talking about is a law that specifically says we are going to make you a family-owned business to provide these abortion inducing drugs, we're

going to make you pay for those and provide those to your employees. and we are just saying that there is a matter of our fundamental religious believes. so what makes you think this one will stand? >> well, what the government generally argues in these situations, they figure we can make an exception for these religious evil because we do that than all of these people come you have to force those two

be a part of this. and the second part of a havarti given exemptions everyone asked in this exams tens of millions of americans and thousands of health care plans from having to comply. but the government turns around and says we would leave all those people out there and not bother them for political purposes. neil: so what is to stop the company then to pay the penalty. it's a lot cheaper than it would

be to endure this type of coverage and doing things that they are morally opposed to. >> yes, the government says that these drugs that they will provide, let's go back, the family is clear that they are willing to provide 16 of the 20 drugs that the federal government wants them to provide. just for drugs that have the potential to take innocent human life. but they said we can do this. to do so those four drugs the federal government is willing to find these and other family businesses millions of dollars area. neil: they can say to heck with her writing insurance, but it would be the ultimate irony and maybe the cheaper alternative to say as much as we would like to cover workers under this, we're just not going to be able to comply with the law and so we will suck this up and it's a lot cheaper than having to be part of this law.

>> we have this penalty and it's not just the penalty that we have to pay there. but also when they kicked the employees off the insurance, that's not good for the type of work they are trying to do and then they will try to resolve their salaries to compensate.

and the questions that we received from the court today were very indicative that the court was taking this seriously. when they came to court they were cautiously optimistic. they saw questions that said your argument here is unprecedented. you are trying to make us say that there is a fundamental incompatibility between serving god and earning a dollar and we've never seen that before. neil: kennedy said that? >> justice roberts pointed that out and justice kennedy said that's the next step.

neil: i also heard there was a freak snowstorm in washington. but thank you so much for showing up. >> thank you. the one coming up, wal-mart admits that it has lacking profits. it's not because their companies are poor but because americans entitlements are so incredibly rich. and from one to another, guess what the senate majority leader is arguing now? republicans are behind this entire ukrainian mass. plus, here is all you need to know as to why this is a textbook example of how not to handle a plane crash. texting the families who say their loved ones are

the on the malaysian the malaysian authorities said that we are to made it clear in our press conferences that there is very little help that we would find. >> i don't agree with that at all. this is about being

transactional? of course, it should've been relational. every bit of news to people that are holding on hope against hope that the families are alive, that alone is just hard to imagine. then think about the fact that with nature being a part of this. there would be no means and the whole world is watching everything they do. and let's face it, brands actually find their strength and their true value. it demonstrates that the cares and it matters and this is important. and that is if they even have the whole corporal issue but they are considered separate in malaysia. neil: they just didn't see that

there was an emotional connection to this. they resented the fact that so many governments were involved in finding this. >> it's the only presumption of arrogance and when it's possible and it's probably very likely that we will never see them again and they are is not always anything to do to demonstrate that matters.

revolutionary. neil: i slapped him yesterday. but i'm telling him, i'm not doing a music video. you can send us a tweet. if you are on facebook, i'm going to read your comments at the end of the show. and not as many components as i would like by the way. so go on, telling me how much you love me and so on. well, it didn't surprise me that wal-mart admitted to get a lot of customers that buy with food stamps. that's what kind of turned my head and a lot of others have as well.

it was a surprise. one in five americans do get food stamps. they get some type of food assistance. but it got a lot of wal-mart critics thinking what is so different about wal-mart line on government and the big banks on all of that free federal money. food for thought. is it enough? we have more on whether this is proof. at wal-mart stating the obvious. but isn't that a kick in the teeth. >> that's one of the things they buy the ways than $7 million a year in which almost 80% are participating in the budgetary and appropriations portion of

things and it kind of makes you wonder. neil: people can use food stamps anywhere. but they do have the cheapest food stamps. is that surprising? >> it does not. out of shock i am agreeing with you the guess that this is an implication and vulture capitalism added most. >> my local grocer mom-and-pop shop are all for that. here we have something where wal-mart moves into the community expecting corporate handouts expecting tax incentives and all sorts of tax breaks which it gets through lobbying and then turns around

and gets taxpayer money to make a profit. it's like agreeing the this is part of it and i just think that this is really glaring and it may be a sign of the times that even those companies that are very lost a fair and i would include dates all the way to wal-mart, they are big beneficiaries of this. >> this is another portion and we look at fast food chains also accepting this and this is supposed to be food and nutrition and not kfc or taco bell. that series of forms as i mentioned this lobbyist ever. we are supposed to have elected officials and that is why so many people are now opening their eyes to this type of capital at chisholm and

corporatism. >> they still run roughshod over the little guys. it's human nature for them to benefit whether their food stamps are up. >> yes, but it's the corporate environment and the difference is my local butcher doesn't have lobbyists. and they have tax abatement and that is the difference. if it is a community based thing. >> i'm not for them at that level. neil: that would be that we are

part of this. >> more importantly look at some of the solutions raising the minimum wage am a which is not the answer and that's all we need to have a national the raid on. what happened in the economic policy. >> you should raise the minimum wage. >> i am one minute longer. in the senate majority leader makes me think that harry reid is worried he won't be the is worried he won't be the majority leader much longer.

jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

>> francis was blocked by some republicans, these important sanctions have not taken place. the russian lawmakers don't always know whether events would have unfolded differently if the united states responded in this way. >> if it's impossible to know, why did you say that it is impossible to know? you're putting this crimea thing on republicans. leaving aside that vladimir putin would have grabbed this whether ukrainian egg was approved in the senate or not. what is wrong and wanted to make sure that whatever aid has been promised those who the right folks. let's just say that the track record on our aid doesn't give much hope the money gets to whoever it is intended. and don't even get me started on

that. to michael meehan who says there is nothing wrong with demanding accountability and here is what i part with the leader. to blame republicans and crimea falling because of it. >> it is lunacy. one is this not a relief ill when it contains $60 billion to guyana or if this is what is wrong with washington. everything has to be passed without reading it, absorbing it, debating it and making it accountable and harry reid is now blaming the republicans for the invasion. last time i looked at the constitution our president was in charge. it is the weakness of obama's foreign policy. he is a hyper polar majority

leader but can you imagine if a conservative republican said something that was this absurd and i'm glad you're doing this segment and that harry reid is in called out. he just made a keep her. this is a bill that not only does what we need to do to put the russians on defense, but it expands the russian influence in the imf. at the same time you're trying to send a signal that this is not acceptable behavior. you are sending another signal in the exact opposite we are going to expand the influence throughout this but is being attached. neil: ted cruz was saying i am all for helping of ukrainians, but i'm not for doing it through the imap or it so there are reasons why republicans and others give posture just writing a blank check and i'm wondering what the strategy could be here. it's already a big embarrassment on the president. i don't think entirely deserved.

there's a lot of factors at play in your dealing with an opportunistic night and a guy who is reading the past 70 of the western world, but then to turn it around and say it's all because this is at best a stretch. don't you think? >> absolutely. >> that showed what happened. it shows what happens when america pulls back and doesn't provide the leadership that the world needs from america. if the president hadn't been caught down in syria, what he needed was a letter couldn't come in and play the role to get him out of the situation when he is drawn a red line that he wasn't willing to enforce. neil: a real leader is not going to do that. what do you think? be much of anything, the pointing of fingers sends a message about how dysfunctional the democratic government is and they control the white house and they control the senate. and the senate with this aid

package has made a farce of foreign policy. neil: we just showed a graphic. it's not a full screen. but it's like inside screen. anyway, it was something that said this. but they are the russians $1.5 billion in gas and energy payments and whatever money that we give them doesn't go right to the russians, which is probably not our intention. >> absolutely. not only the billion dollars in aid, but don't you think that vladimir putin will starve them out reed if he controls a lot of the cards that we have no influence on in that part of the world. everyone is looking to america were again weing money to the imf in this case and with the internet's running into the u.n. in that case. so the united states is surrendering and bolstering the

power. >> you do make people think. that is the goal here and that's why we bring up this sidebar. meanwhile, if you lie to customers, is it a stretch to say that you can also lie to investors. a lawsuit served at gm's front a lawsuit served at gm's front door that gunderman group. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow.

(all) awesome! i love logistics.

neil: how many times have you heard that it's not a crime but the cover-up? a hiding to cover-up the line and it just could be gm's watergate. but the officials didn't appreciate the gravity of these increasing reports of problems. once they did, that is when they start allegedly dragging their feet and hiding from potentially bad press. one guy is filing a lawsuit against gm, arguing that the

company did in fact know that it had the safety issues and can only keep them from customers but from shareholders as well. thereby falsely propping up the stock. jim insistently said that it has yet to take personal responsibility and that is very different, i am told. my next guest says it's not all that different. with me now is robert wolf. is this lawyer had a chance? >> i think they have a very good chance. this has spanned a decade. 2001 is the first year. you have lawsuits and engineering companies and reports to the safety transportation authority and all over the place. they made a conscious decision along the way and this is from the company that it was cost-effective. it's one of the reasons not to have the recall.

neil: the company has argued that they did nothing wrong. but the gist of their argument is that we didn't deliberately deceive anyone, we had a few cases where suits were involved but that always happens and we didn't connect the possibility to better than which would later prove to be the case. by the way, what do you make of that. that they didn't connect those dots until they saw no reason to. >> i think the experts disagree. but in 2007 it should've been a recall. and we're talking about what is public. >> that's interesting. by 2007 and 2008 we have a bail out and about sign for this to go public. you can understand the reasoning. >> he gets worse. in 2009 they were in a bankruptcy situation and very important to them to maintain

their financial life successfully get out of the bankruptcy and one thing that is very important as their limited liability disclosure and exposing this cobalt issue and jeopardizing their financial situation. neil: when you go into bankruptcy, sometimes it's not the responsibility of the new company and they were very insistent upon that. >> this is what is aggravating. the nonpublic information and security fraud and vote civil and criminal. seating of the sec investigation, the criminal investigation. but you have this concealment that is just shocking and extraordinary. and they said that we didn't do what we should have done. that's what the company has said and we have financial reasons going through the bankruptcy not to have this come out in full bloom and jeopardize their

financial life. instead you have people that work for the company and retirees that invest. it's not all the eggs in the basket but a lot of the eggs. they put these people at tremendous risk. neil: robert wolf, thank you so much. all about how we are blowing it on this pipeline thing a day after ceo behind that pipeline exclusively told me this. >> looking at all of the delays and the administrative hassles we've had to encounter, you regret getting involved in this? >> obviously five and a half years of the process here has gone ♪ [ cellphones beeping ] ♪ [ cellphone rings ] hello?

that this administration and this procedure would be a royal getaway, this and that. that sounded very good. >> i'm a strong believer in development of resources. but the question is would he want to get it from. it has nothing to do with alternative energy. it's just how we want to get it, where you want to get it from end we think a pipeline from canada makes the most logical sends. neil: relying on guys like vladimir putin has us in a big pickle. and tonight business lits. we need and all of the above strategy to stop relying on

countries like russia and the administration says the same thing. so why are they not practicing it? should we be looking at all energy options even the greener ones? >> i listened to your interview yesterday. so we need oil from all sources. wouldn't you rather get it from canada? natural gas, given to different parts of the world. neil: you hit on an important point. we could then tell the europeans because all of these contracts to you, we have it here. but because we can't do that and won't do that because we don't have enough to do that presently, vladimir putin has the advantage. doesn't he? >> yes, he does. i think the bottom line is the more options that people aren't forced into common more that we
