tv Cavuto FOX Business August 5, 2014 8:00pm-9:01pm EDT
8:00 pm
i thought it was something that, you know, old people got. . neil: welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. and so much anger, so little time. i want to break format to try and connect all the break developments tonight. and here's what connects them all. borders. they are all about borders. israel's furious at us for second-guessing them defending theirs. isis terrorists in iraq are laughing at us seizing two more cities convinced baghdad will be theirs. hondras lecturing not not over the honduran flooding but screwup in the immigration laws that let them come here. so little time, so much anger all the time.
8:01 pm
all because we seem to care not a lick about borders and who shows up where. is it any wonder the world dismisses our talk pretty much everywhere? is it any wonder after we draw a line in the sand, syria kicks sand back in our face? or we tell vladimir putin there will be serious consequences for actions and he laughs in our face. we barely care about our own. is it any wonder the tens of thousands of illegals show up here leading us to foot the bill? that's what happens when you stop defending borders. you board or becoming a joke in the eyes of the world. illegals who feel emboldens to do what they do. and iraqi terrorists who keep undoing everything we did, and all because we don't. no wonder benjamin netanyahu as don't second-guess him again, he means what he says when it comes to protecting his country. anything goes in this country. those are my thoughts.
8:02 pm
use hashtag cavuto to share your thoughts. honored to have retired general anthony zinni in charge of all american troops in the middle east. general, thank you for coming. i think it comes down to borders sir, our lack of respect and lack of resilience and lack of follow-up. what do you think? >> i agree, i think, you know, we live in a different world, so many things that can penetrate our borders. we have environmental issues, obviously, cyberspace, space, but we have to retain our sovereignty and have to make sure we support our allies doing the same thing. this is a very confusing world, and we can't reduce ourselves to being transactional and reactionary. i see a lack of strategic thought or vision of our role in the world and our ability to lead and to build partnerships to deal with the issues. neil: do you think, general,
8:03 pm
and i've heard this from michael bloomberg when he flew to tel aviv when we were preventing commercial flights going in and out of there during the original uprising. and he said israel is simply protecting its borders. and we should respect that. what do you think of that? >> well, obviously, israel has the right to defend itself. i think what we have here is, you know, hamas is constantly threatening israel and drawing them into these kinds of conflicts. hamas fully understands what's going to happen when israel retaliates for the attacks. in a place like gaza that is so packed and loaded with people in such a small urban area. they use the human shields, they understand israel must protect itself and willing to sacrifice their own people. i know there are bigger and broader issues, but hamas does more damage to the palestinian
8:04 pm
people than anything else, and anything that israel could do, i saw that when i was -- the peace envoy there, as we were trying to negotiate peace between the palestinian authority and israeli government. hamas continued terrorist attacks, suicide bombers to disrupt the process and they were successful. eventually with the passover bombing, sharon could no longer continue. so unfortunately, they keep calling the tempo and the beat out there. neil: in other words, they sucked israel into this so that they would be embarrassed in the world press. there's something to what you say there. want to switch to iraq, the feeling is with isis in control of two more cities, the unthinkable now is starting to look thinkable and possible that they somehow succeed in toppling iraq, take baghdad and wiping out everything we did, what do you think of that? >> yeah, i think clearly we
8:05 pm
have to become more involved. we need more assistance certainly for the kurds in the north and the peshmerga. i see where you are beginning military support, it has to be much more robust. we can't let baghdad obviously, i don't think it would fall, but they could penetrate baghdad, raise hell in the neighborhoods and disrupt it in a way that would be devastating to the region and everybody else. i think there's an emergency need for military support, advisers, maybe close air support, and there's a need for maliki to step aside before we can proceed beyond the emergency phase at containing isis, we have to have a different kind of government. especially to get the sunnis to cooperate and the sunni arabs to cooperate in the effort. maliki was not the answer. things continue to get worse. neil: it's part of a greater
8:06 pm
pattern they found disturbing at the outset, whether it's vladimir putin, laughing in our face, even with the renewed ukrainian steps of his. and certainly what's been going on throughout the world, that maybe the world doesn't seem to think that, that there's much behind our talk, and that's why you keep seeing this sort of stuff? >> well, i agree partially with that. i think we cannot look weak. and we also have to lead. but these aren't only our problems. vladimir putin is a problem in europe too, and i would like to see the europeans, nato, the european union and the individual countries stand up more and support some of the sanctions. neil: but they don't, again, general, it's remarkable. >> they don't us in the middle east and everywhere else. we don't have the ability to build the same relationships, partnerships that we did before, and then to lead those
8:07 pm
partnerships. >> is it just that we can't? we won't? they won't endure the pain? because they don't want sanctions boomeranged on them, no sanction will be effective if there's no serious pain brought. so, maybe putin is calling our bluff, and maybe the same with assad and syria, they just don't think we back up what we say or do. whether it's us as a country alone or the west in general? >> well, i think it's not only our potential adversaries, i'm hearing this from our allies also, that they question our ability to manage to run things and to effectively lead in these areas. i think since the end of the cold war, we haven't really thought through what kind of world we live in, and how vested we preserve our own well-being, our security in that kind of world, and how we build a new partnerships. i think we've been absent in a strategic way, ever since the
8:08 pm
wall came down. neil: yeah, handsoff policy since. general, very good seeing you. >> thank you, neil. neil: general anthony zinni. eric cantor says he is activist attorney general and proud of it. the judge has never been more ashamed and ready to let the a.g. have it. first, steve ballmer may be dancing up a storm now that he's cleared by the l.a. clippers, donald sterling is not giving up. his attorney on why. only here. at legalzoom you can take care of virtually all your important legal matters in just minutes. now it's quicker and easier for you to start your business, protect your family,
8:11 pm
. neil: the verdict is in and sterling is out. the former microsoft ceo steve ballmer on his way to being the owner of the los angeles clippers. he may be celebrating. this is dated footage having to do nothing with that. but nevertheless, sterling is not waving the white flag just yet. his attorney is joining me to explain. why not? it looks like an uphill battle to hang onto this team. what chance does he have when the court has ruled that he doesn't? >> well, there's no question that there's a battle in store
8:12 pm
here, and i don't think donald is somebody to run away from the battle. the real issue here is what's going to happen next, and there are things that are in the works now, including a writ on a portion of the judge's decision which i think is going to be the part everyone's going to be looking at. and that's the writ that we'll file with the appellate court, essentially attacking the portion of the judge's decision, that allows the order to be effective pending our appeal. that's where the focus will be on the legal side of things. neil: bobby, without getting caught in the legal weeds which you are infinitely familiar, why would mr. sterling turn his nose up at a $2 billion deal? >> well, i think that's a very good question, and i explained it a little bit differently. what we've learned from the outcome of this case is that
8:13 pm
the price tag on privacy is $2 billion. that's what we've determined resulting from this case. essentially what happens here is that all of my client's privacy rights were trampled. not just the use of the video, not just the use of the tape. not just the medical reports. all of those things were essentially disregarded. we know now, our privacy for sale. it's $2 billion. maybe the price comes down for ordinary folks but for my client it was $2 billion. that's not enough to sell your right to privacy. it's such a basic american core concept, and i have to say i'm surprised that people aren't more upset about that. we had a judge that ruled his medical records could come in even though there are very strict federal and state protections that do not allow those things to happen. and the judge's rationale is it's all over the internet, what's the harm? this is pretty dangerous stuff,
8:14 pm
and i think there are people looking at this and they see the greater concern and the bigger issue. my client's not doing this because of a money motive. if his motivation was money, he would sell the team for the 2 billion. the money motive is from the nba. this is the best thing that's happened to the nba. this case is about two things, privacy and money, and the money comes down to the $2 billion price tag. what that does for the nba is increases the value of every single team out there. neil: it is a hell of a consolation prize, you are right to say privacy and private comments caught on tape can lead to the end of someone's career. you are quite right about that. bothers a lot of people. having said all that, $2 billion is a nice parting gift. >> look, i don't disagree that the number is a big number. neil: did he expect the number would be that big? >> i think his expectation that
8:15 pm
it would be that big. i don't think that was a surprise to him. he's got something that's a very, very rare item. there are only 30 in existence and there are only two in the los angeles market. so it's a pretty rare item. >> what did he make of his wife who struck this deal on her own? rochelle sterling and this talk it is all out of spite. this is about going after her, after she forced him out, and that money isn't the issue, it's just all a big vendetta? >> well, you know, i don't want to speak to that issue, per se. there are a lot of personal issues that exist here. a lot of very strong feelings. it's very unfortunate. i think that's the very tough part of this fight is that the nba has positioned things and really pitted them against each other and that's sad to see folks that are married nearly 60 years in that position.
8:16 pm
neil: other rumors, sorry if i'm talking out of school here, but that he had a love child with this mistress, true? >> i've heard this rumor, i think it's exactly that is it's a baseless rumor. i think that this individual is very disturbed. i hope she seeks the appropriate help that she needs. neil: by the way, have they talked, bobby, since any of this blew up? >> there is no communication between the two of them, no. neil: okay. so when she said that she regretted the whole thing, what did he think of that? what did you think of that? >> well, you know, i think he's actually a very compassionate person, and i think he felt badly for everybody who was impacted by this, and it's just a tough situation. of course, this is a -- it puts your personal life on display,
8:17 pm
and nobody wants to have that done to them. neil: other talk that he's losing his marbles. something is wrong with him mentally. is that true? >> right. that's false. and that's not coming from me. that's coming from the physicians that have seen him in the course of this process. neil: do you think he's a racist? >> i don't think he's a racist, and in fact, i've had many, many conversations with him this issue. i don't believe, that i believe he's a decent person, and that he really respects all people. he definitely is, you know, a tough person sometimes on some issue, but i haven't seen anything from him that i believe was racist and, you know, i asked him all the questions. neil: you know, it does seem a little weird when a lot of fellow nba owners are pointing the finger at him. mark cuban said it made him feel uncomfortable.
8:18 pm
do you think that the goal here on mr. sterling's part is to embarrass them to say you're a fine lot to judge? >> well, let me speak to that. he has no issue with the other owners. there's been all this speculation that he's going after the other owners. that's not true. but he does have an issue with the nba and with the nba management, and that stems from many things. one is it seems odd to me that they're the ones who are going to call the morality play here. the nba has a terrible history. they've got numerous discrimination lawsuits that are pending against them. some of which they settled over the years. the interesting thing in all of this, this all started by the nba taking a stand against discrimination. i haven't heard a single word from the nba about their own problems with discriminatory conduct. i've never heard them suggest there should be minority
8:19 pm
ownership in the -- in the new ownership of the team. i don't think they care about discrimination. i don't think they care about any of those things. i think they care about two things. one was removing donald, and the second thing was establishing a new compfor the value of nba teams. that's the issue. otherwise they'd be talking about other issues now. all i heard from the press conferences at the nba level is what a phenomenal deal this is. that really strikes me suspect. it really does. neil: very good point it. thank you very much. keep a close eye on it. >> thank you. neil: proof that the board ser still a mess. border agents are just giving up. >> how you doing? how many people on board? >> me. does it really matter? >> not anymore, unfortunately. thank you. >> you, too. when folks think about what they get from alaska,
8:20 pm
they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. 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. weit's not justt we'd be fabuilding jobs here,. it's helping our community. siemens location here has just received a major order of wind turbines. it puts a huge smile on my face. cause i'm like, 'this is what we do.' the fact that iowa is leading the way in wind energy, i'm so proud, like, it's just amazing.

see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. . neil: all right, give us your poor, you're tired, yearning to be free, and send them to hawaii. according to the latest health and human services report, unaccompanied illegal kids are transported all over the country, including hawaii. former reagan and nixon adviser pat buchanan says this is obam-nesty at its worst. i want to talk about the nixon thing, and how this is spiraling out of control. what do you think? . >> the 60,000 kids that came to the country and all this talk of chicken pox and the other diseases and moving them around the country created a
8:24 pm
tremendous firestorm, neil. and more importantly changed the issue dramatically. the, quote, reform the immigration seemed like a winning issue for the democrats and obama. it is now a losing issue dramatically, i think it's being elevated to the point where it's a presidential issue in 2016. neil: really? >> sure. you see senator cruz seizing upon it. you see rick perry seizing upon it. this is very, very big now. neil: you don't see it boomeranging on republicans alienating the voters. what do you think of it? >> i don't think so right now. there's no question about it. look, there's been talk of the president issues executive amnesty and five million illegals. and if he does that, i think the firestorm would be so great, it would take down the red state democrats. might rally the hispanics and
8:25 pm
others. what are we doing? legalizing all the illegal folks. i think the politics have changed neil. neil: you know with congresswoman lee out in california felt ashamed by the country given the treatment of the illegals. and i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. tens of thousands of kids, a great cause to towns, municipalities, cities, towns and states. she's ashamed. i think it hit a chord with more people than just me. they said wait a minute what are we doinger. >> we are the most generous country on earth for citizens and people abroad, it is easily documented, and i agree with you. you cannot as the father of a household, you cannot have tens and scores of thousands thinking they can walk into your house and sit down and remain there and be entitled to all the privileges of american
8:26 pm
citizenship. so i don't understand this, if you will, this unthinking compassion, if you will, of folks when someone shows up at border, bring them in. neil: i might be remiss, you are updates on the events we are on the 40th anniversary of richard nixon's resignation. a great book about him in the nixon comeback story. the final nixon tapes have been released, and one involved a conversation, maybe you knew, maybe you didn't know. the president recorded with you. have a listen. >> all right. >> i guess they call that -- we got to survive the damn thing, and i think we will. >> okay. yeah, i have thoughts on that. >> you put your recommendations in, then. >> yes. >> you approved of my statement on tuesday.
8:27 pm
leaks and everything coming out. you really need a pr program, don't we? >> well, yes, sir. neil: or one thing i quickly noticed in that exchange, not once did he cursory say anything derogatory. maybe he cleaned up his language with you. [ laughter ] >> what were you talking about back then, this is april, 1973. >> april 20th, 1973. i'll tell you what that's bchl at easter, i went down on a secret mission to key biscayne with chapman rose, an attorney, and ron zigler and we were talking about the resignation of halderman and ehrlichman and dean, that's right around that time. i can't place it exactly. i'm not sure when easter was. this is just before the resignation of halderman and ehrlichman. neil: i remember that well. did you know he was taping you? did you know he had this elaborate taping system? >> no, as soon as i found out he had the taping system, one
8:28 pm
week later, i had a memo on his desk saying keep the dean tapes, the conversations with john dean and the brezhnev tapes and foreign policy, destroy them. they should never have been made, you have people talking to you in candor about all manner of things and you've got material on them. and they're not going to do you any good and get rid of those. if he had, i think he would have survived, neil. neil: doug brinkley, cronnolgizing the tapes, he was very, paraphrasing, screwedup guy, brilliant but a screwedup guy. what do you think? >> take a look at his first term. he won 49 states. did all these things with foreign policy, salt treaties, opening up china, saving israel. bring the troops home. bringing the p.o.w.'s home, ending the draft. all the terrific things. no doubt when he sat down in the office in idle hours with
8:29 pm
halderman and ehrlichman and often zigler, it is unedifying commentary, i would tell him, look, did he make comments derogatory about jewish folks. yeah, and foreign policy adviser was jewish and he saved israel and the yom kippur war, and golda mayer said he was the best friend israel well. if you judge him by the tapes alone, of course, it's a very, very bad commentary. judge him by -- what did john mitchell say? watch what we, do not what we say. neil: pat, i keep thinking you say that about him finding the damn cap to a pen that fell off the plane. this is the same giant who did -- you never know. >> we tore that plane apart. neil: pat buchanan, thank you, my friend. >> thank you, my friend. neil: did you hear about the
8:30 pm
texas man handing out hard earned cash to random commuters on his birthday? >> here you go. >> what's that are? >> my birthday, i'm celebrating. >> that's pretty good. neil: makes you wonder if people can be trusted with their own money, especially when they come into money. the crazy things people do, help is on the way.

[ male announcer ] with stamps.com you can print real u.s. postage for all your letters and packages. i have exactly the amount of postage i need, the instant i need it. can you print only stamps? no... first class. priority mail. certified. international. and the mail man picks it up. i don't leave the shop anymore. [ male announcer ] get a 4 week trial plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. . neil: all right, here's a way to get cash. talk about a kick to your investment portfolio. kickstart is now becoming the de facto fund-raising standard, and the source for about any stupid project, you can think of, these days. one person managed to raise $55,000 to make a potato salad.
8:34 pm
i could have done it for 45. it better have caviar. another raised almost nine grand for squirrel census. and how about $25,000 to develop the cheese-usthat puts jesus' face on grilled cheese. really? to our fox all-stars, hadley can, people be trusted with their own money doing. this we were showing a lottery winner who felt embold own his birthday, started handing cash out. that dude's going to lose all his money, all of it. >> i think people ought to be trusted with their open money, even if they do things that i think are stupid. maybe, the pleasure they get out of being part of a massive joke is worth it to them.
8:35 pm
after all, i think the average donation to this campaign was $8. >> is that right? it ad -- adds up with a $55,000 potato salad. >> you have a few thousand people giving a few bucks. support your local charities instead. >> you're jealous you didn't come up with the cheese-us on your own. neil: i am, i never would invest money to it. >> what kind of conservative are you? get out of people's business, they want to spend money on nonsense, let them. neil: you are for it? >> i'm for it. you want to do the cheese-us, the potato salad. neil: if people to do this, that's fine. i'm worried more about the people who come up with the ideas to get the money and not have an investment strategy that depends on people investing in their potato salad. >> the image is supposed to appear naturally not put there through a machine. neil: very true.
8:36 pm
>> there is a dark side -- the government operates a couple crazy ideas and congress approves them. there's a lot of stuff on kickstarter that isn't great. goofy ideas like roadways that are raising $2 million on top of government funding for an idea that is totally ludicrous. neil: if you can't get money any other way, it's a sign of the times whether it's kenny loggins trying to get another album going and needs to raise dough. that's one thing. people will find shortcuts to quick wealth. i think there are no shortcuts. people get lucky, by and large, you have to plan, save, that's all part of just getting serious about this. but that's me, hadley? >> i think it is a sign of the times but for different reasons, neil, people are doing silly things, it's pointless. it shows people have hopelessness about the economy in their guts, hopefully people will find more productive
8:37 pm
things. we're right to find good funding things to do on kickstarter. you can invest in things and start your own business. if you have a great idea, not all great ideas are silly, not all kickstarter campaigns are silly. some of the more silly ones, i agree with you, neil, sign of the times. neil: i'm amazed at the mike tyson story. he had a billion dollars earned in the ring collectively. lost it all. >> highway to the danger zone by kenny loggins totally merits a sequel. i will contribute to that brilliant piece of craftsmanship. mike tyson, a lot of the guys invest, you hear that about lottery winners, they come into millions and they're broke. neil: according to the lifestyle they think their money supports. >> this is a good entrepreneur thing to do. this guy came up with 55,000 bucks for potato salad. good for him. >> i like kickstarter, too. it's a hipster thing.
8:38 pm
someday -- >> what do the people who give get out of it? you're not a venture capitalist. >> you get a tote bag, the hipster brooklyn thing is taking over the world. and you will see the danger of crowdsourcing investments because the public. neil: not if barack obama has anything to do about it! no? >> yeah. yeah, sure. i will give you. that i don't know what you're talking about. neil: neither do i. with so many americans out of jobs, you would expect those with jobs to do their jobs. look, erik holder has been saying his job is activist attorney. janet napolitano will set him straight. and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance can be one of them.
8:39 pm
if you're a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. you are gonna need a wingman. and with my cash back, you are money. forget him. my airline miles will take your game worldwide. what i'm really looking for is -- i got two words for you -- re-wards. ♪
8:40 pm
8:41 pm
8:42 pm
that label. any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. the responsibility of attorney general is to change things and bring us closer to the ideals expressed in our founding documents. i'm quoting here, ahhhh! what do you think? >> look, there are many meanings to the word activist. neil: i thought you were going to say something else. >> if he means a defender of the constitution and defender of founding documents and defender of our freedom, more power to him. if he means defender of left wing ideology which when black panthers with a baseball bat are scaring away white voters in philadelphia five years ago and not going to do anything about it. that's not the type of activist we expect to have in the office. i commend juan williams on the
8:43 pm
question, and the answer is tantalizing. in fairness to him, there's a little bit of wiggle room. you could refer to justice scalia as an activist for the original interpretation of the constitution, but somehow i don't think that's what eric holder means. >> we have a white house that many people think through executive order, through fiat, even through a justice department targeting reporters, that it's almost in its dna, forget about being activists, intrusive? >> this happens to a lot of attorneys general who are good lawyers. eric holder is and was before he was the a.g., a very good lawyer. very much sought-after by -- willing to pay a lot of money clients from boston to d.c. i think he sometimes is conflicted between his obligation to do what the law commands and his obligation to serve the president.
8:44 pm
ideally, the attorney general would be an independent thinker who would do the right thing, prosecute people when there evidence to convict, whether they work for the irs, the cia, the senate intelligence committee, no matter who they were. i think he's a little too beholden to the president. so where do i think he's going to go? i think he wants to get out. he's sick and tired of this but i don't think he wants to embarrass the president. it's up to the president to decide yes can you have somebody else replace you or eric i need to you hang out, you're going to have to tighten your belt and stay with us. neil: you're giving him way too much. >> he's been held in contempt. he's been threatened with impeachment. neil: you said awful things. >> well, he's been brought to the senate. he's been brought to the house more times than any of his predecessors and they've been very, very aggressive with him and he's held his own. i don't agree with what he
8:45 pm
said, he's come off respectively and commendably. this is the headline. not eric holder faithful to the constitution or declaration which he would love, but eric holder, political activist. that's the last thing he wanted to see this morning, and that's what's all over the papers. >> he did want to see it. >> well, if he did, that's not going to serve him well. it's only going to energize their base, and they don't need that. neil: judge, thank you very much, always a pleasure. with americans giving up on congress, i can't imagine this has anything to do with it. >> not often i agree with what the koch brothers say or do. charles and dave koch, multizillionaire brothers. koch brothers, koch brothers, koch brothers and their billion dollars are coming after you. it would have been virtually impossible
8:46 pm
8:49 pm
