. neil: a perversion with a fixation on inversions. now going after them. all you companies trying to escape the tax burden here, a perverse scheme to stop you in your tracks, courtesy of presidential runaround congress to manufacture law. welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto. and remember when the president was railing against u.s. firms using illegal corporate loophole to avoid tax code here. he's make good on his threat. treasury department is set to end it now. word is it's looking for ways to stop so-called inversions, when companies that have foreign subsidiaries to take

advantage of tax code provisions that allow them to pay the lower taxes where the subsidiaries are based. it saves jobs and actually legal. is it remotely legal for the president to make it a crime without so much as consulting congress, an executive order that's way, way out of order. just my thoughts, use hashtag cavuto to share your thoughts. i'm sensitive to criticism. i don't feel like it today. all-stars, scott martin and cheryl casone. scott, what do you think? >> scared. companies in the u.s. of a should be scared. not only is it scary notion to go unilateral on the company's bottom line but making this retroactive. that's another issue at play not only do we want to change this inversion issue but make it retroactive. companies like ingersoll-rand

have done it, you have group like the treasury department subverting congress or elected official and saying hey, we're going to make it harder for companies in the u.s. of a struggling as it is to hire people, create more production and change the game on a mid stream. not a good position, i don't think. neil: you're nodding your head, cheryl. >> i agree with scott on many of the points and surprised to see a company like walgreen did not take advantage of the inversion practice. it is legal to do this. nothing, this is what the law allows companies to do. to scott's point that's what's happening, the companies are not hiring, hiring in other countries, incorporating in ireland for good reason because the u.s. tax code is so punitive. neil: they could solve it by cutting taxes. one way to do it or rules and regulations that make companies have to go through these accounting. >> we have the discussion about meaningful tax reform and change the tax code, it never happens. that is the disappointment in all of this.

>> i call this bully capitalism. neil: i thought you were going to say something else. good for you. >> outrageous abuse of power. the president shamed these companies and bureaucrats, lawyers in the treasury department decide they're going to rattle their sabers and threaten action. they didn't take action, they threatened it and impacted the actions of a publicly traded company. neil: absolutely. selective action if you think about it. apple, no one says boo about the fact it's going to make 100 million more of the iphones in asia largely chinand ano one says boo. apple gets a pass. i think the selectivity and the double standard is a little over the top. >> especially because -- neil: go ahead. >> especially because they've called it unpatriotic. the only ones unpatriotic are harry reid and barack obama not giving positive incentive for companies to stay domicile in the united states. neil: what's patriotic is keeping your business open and the american jobs there,

regardless whether you are domiciled here or on the moon. scott? >> let's talk about patriotism. you know what the government is effectively doing here? putting pressure on the individual states. cheryl mentioned it, walgreen making the move going back to illinois. illinois, and i live here, is not a great state for business. neil: walgreens was brow beaten into that. walgreens was humiliated into that, and pushed to the brink of doing something like this. but we shouldn't be treating our companies this way, and manufacturing law out of nothing to make it happen, cheryl? >> absolutely. one of the things that is so disconcerting about all of this is walgreen did back off. and what happened to other companies feel bullied by the president and the treasury department looking for ways to skirt around. neil: you are unpatriotic and work, you are scum. >> how many times did you hear the president saying big fat cats running banks are evil

thieves and called the white house and said you need to hire people. stop talking out of both sides of your mouth. this is hurting our economy. neil: gender business or camaraderie that can lead to the companies hiring, period, right? >> walgreens is scared into submission, this is tremendous abuse of power. >> this is walgreen, you go into the store and they have whitman chocolate samplers, hello? >> there is the corner of happy and healthy. we're at the corner of politics and long arm of the law. >> and cost the stock double digits in performance. you have walgreen stock in mutual funds, 401(k)s, don't forget the employees own a lot of the stocks getting punished for this. >> 15% down. the market value has been impacted by the threat of government. >> billions! >> and also we've seen a lot of this happening in the pharmaceutical industry, but walgreen could have been the first company to set an example and go against the administration, make a stand.

we need companies and ceos to make a stand and say no more. get the lawyers involved. i can't wait to see what the lawyers come up with. neil: lead to this inertia in the ceiling, you got to do everything in the country, you can't expand or become a global player at a time when the last hope we had that our companies are in place. >> get ready for more layoffs in the companies. neil: exactly. >> out on a limb. neil: no, no, it's going to get chopped off. the cdc says ebola is posing very little risk to us. why are airports getting ready for disaster? after this. ñ@ç@çpçpçpç÷ñoxmh

. neil: well, officials keep saying calm down, there won't be an ebola outbreak in the united states. so every time they keep saying that, that alone gets me worried. i'm look at airports getting ready just in case something goes bad. across the country, major airports are put on high alert. a lot of them have the so-called quarantine stations ready to rip just in case the disease spreads. a task force for global health ceo former centers for disease

control official mark rosenberg. when they say little risk and prepare doing this stuff, obviously, they're doing this out of abundance of caution, but it worries me, should i be worried? >> i think there are things to worry about, neil, i think what we should worry about is not getting infected from the people that have been brought to emory university's hospital, but i think any time there's an epidemic someplace around the world that's highly fatal, and it has no way to treat it or to vaccinate against it, that is something to worry about. neil: you know, doctor, you are the expert here, having watch the movie outbreak, i qualify as an expert just like you. so in that movie, what i remember, doctor, is that the official sentiment in the beginning was don't panic, we've got everything under control and bit by bit, you found they didn't have things under control. the emphasis is keeping people calm. but at what point do you as an

expert start saying, they're saying something more than we know? >> first, you may not be an expert, neil, but you don't have to be an expert to voice your opinion. and i think doctors don't hold the monopoly on valid opinions in this area. so your opinion counts, and you're getting information out to people is important. so at what point do we have to worry? right now, there's an epidemic with cases in four countries in west africa. it is out of control there. it's not under control there. do we know what needs to be done there? yes. the best way to protect us here is to address the problem there. it's not do one or the other, but treating the people there, preventing the spread there is the best way to protect us, and we need to do more than is being done now.

neil: we know four african countries that have had cases of ebola. three of them we've stopped allowing travel into and out of. we live in a very mobile, transient world, and even allowing for that. i just wonder whether this thing just spreads of its own accord. what do you think? >> it doesn't spread by its own accord. we know how it spreads, but it is continuing to spread because the things that we know that will stop it are not being done. so first, we need to find all the people who are sick or infected and at risk for becoming sick. we haven't found them all yet. second, we need to diagnose these people we suspect and see if it actually is ebola. then if it is, we need to isolate them, and we need to trace their contacts. who else could they have

exposed? if we do those things, we can bring it under control. we also have to give those people the best treatment we can give them, but these are the things we know that will work to stop this. but we're not doing enough right now. is it worrisome? yes. and the odds are that the epidemic will get worse before it starts to get better. neil: you know, doctor, i had the good fortune of going beyond my own ignorant muse to talk to experts like yourself, including a lot of doctors, internists and the like telling me, some viruses they can mutate and there's that risk here. how real is that risk here? how real is it a disease or virus that, you know, isn't airborne or can you catch airborne that it could change into that? >> this is not airborne, neil. this is spread by bodily fluids. neil: i understand, but i raised the possibility -- i understand, sir.

things can happen, they can mutate? >> well, we're not worried so much about mutation. this doesn't have to mutate to become spreadable. it is contagious, and extreme caution does have to be used, but it spreads not by the airborne route. that doesn't mean it's not dangerous. so this virus is plenty dangerous the way it is now. it doesn't need to mute tight become more dangerous or contagious. neil: well, doctor, thank you, sir, very good seeing you. all right, adding to the dead is unpatriotic, that is not me saying that. that's a certain senator running for president saying that. >> number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, that's irresponsible. it's unpatriotic. neil: well, if 4 trillion was unpatriotic now, is 7 trillion more treasonous?

crestor lowered bad cholesterol in it's a fact. high-risk patients more than lipitor. bad cholesterol... you're going down! yeah! lowering cholesterol is a big deal, especially if you have high cholesterol plus any of these risk factors, because you could be at increased risk for plaque buildup in your arteries over time. so, when diet and exercise aren't enough to lower cholesterol, adding crestor can help. i'm down with crestor! crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of rare but serious side effects.

are you down with crestor!? ask your doctor if crestor could help you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

. neil: well, did then-senator barack obama really blast president bush for racking up the debt? it is time to rerack the tape. >> the problem is that the way bush has done it over the last eight years, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents, number 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome. that's irresponsible. it's unpatriotic. neil: well, the problem is this president added $7 trillion to that debt by his lonesome, again, more than all his

predecessors combined. and i'm not here to blast the president on this. i'm saying this is the state now when have you 17, $18 trillion is piling up, even if you didn't add a penny to present deficits, the sheer interest costs alone on the course of anyone's presidency will pick it up 1 trillion or 2 trillion. how do we reverse that? what is it in national dna that automatically means debt levels get bigger, bigger, bigger, we are all digging our own graves. but we keep digging it, larry, we keep digging it. >> you know week do. digging the hole deeper and deeper and deeper. most people, certainly all the politicians i see right now don't understand the basic commonsense laws that have to do with finances, and the number one law is you can't spend more than you make. you can't do it. government spends 175 times

more than they make. we have 40% of americans who spend more money than they make. neil: how do you reverse that? it gets so bad, you and i talked about this before, we're bragging about deficits coming in around a half trillion and saying look at that. we solved the problem because they are no longer a trillion. it's screwed up, mixed up, it's you know what up, you know? >> there's an old saying that when your outgo exceeds income, exceeds downfall. that's where we are right now. we can't keep up like this. there's only two ways in the world to have more money, and that's earn more and spend less. i think the only solution for us as a country, certainly if i was talking to a family, i'd say you got to cut your spending. of course, that makes sense. but the government has a hard time cutting spending. the only thing that makes sense is a blanket 15% across-the-board cut for everything. once you pick and choose what

you cut, it's partisan, political, and nothing gets done. we've got 15% fat in every government program that we could cut out. then you got to start being friendlier to business, especially small business so we can put more people back to work so income taxes will increase the revenue. that's how the government ought to earn more money through income taxes based on people working. we need more people going to work. neil: that's brilliant which. is why you should never run for office. the one thing i understand when people say, you said 15%, i was using on a show a few months ago a 10% rule. cut everything 10%. people say not my sacred program, and i add military types can cut defense to 10%. in anything, if you can't find 10% waste, fat, needless spending, you're not looking too hard, when you discover and find, it you're running all of those organizations and

departments like any business, much more efficiently, and you're getting a lot more bang for the buck, it's in their interest to do so, you will be surprised at the results. you would think i was talking latin. [ laughter ] . >> you know, it makes perfect sense in any business, if you went into any business guy and said i bet have you 10% fat in your company. you would run more efficiently and make more money and employees would work harder and be happier. that's right. that's how it works, you can't seem to do that with the government. the government doesn't understand those basic financial laws, like here's another one, you can't borrow your way out of debt. we borrow half, close to half of every dollar we spend. you can't do that. some of the things they have to start -- neil: you are way ahead of it. i want to give you credit. we will never go bankrupt as a country because we can just print money. imagine if you told families at

home, well, in case push comes to shove, you can never lose your home because you can increase your visa credit line or mastercard credit line. it's half ass, beyond half ass. >> we're not good at imposing consequences especially on ourselves. and the government doesn't want to impose consequences on itself and the number one consequence of doing what you and i said, i said 15%, you said 10%, is that somebody would get toes stepped on and somebody wouldn't get re-elected. that's the real reason they are there to begin with is to keep getting re-elected. and if they took a stand and did the right thing. the things that make sense for our country. they might not be there next go-around. neil: you are right about that. larry, thank you my friend. always good seeing you. later in the show, is mark about to get zucked? he's losing billions, a billion people could be after him. it started with an australian

who said just a minute. after this. in new york state, we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov

. neil: all right, i know you were following this one. a fascinating case that could have facebook getting a little nervous. it started with one user in austria and starting to cause a bit of a contagion worldwide, maybe, maybe, a big problem for facebook. nobody knows about it. we'll tell you. a new poll out today this one from the "wall street journal," also in conjunction with nbc, but i prefer not to mention nbc, it shows three out of four of us believes kids are going to be worse off. if my kids are watching, you're not getting a dime. you will be worse off. they blame a lot of this economic angst on politicians, they say their inability to act on things and inspire

confidence is why they have so little confidence in the country's future. back with scott, back with mark, back with cheryl. i'm not surprised. >> i'm not surprised at all. they blame republicans more than democrats, plenty of blame in washington to go around. to say your children don't have better existence than you will, the millennials are sitting on student loan debt. they can't get a job, their generation has a bleak outlook bleeding to the parents absorbing. neil: the less they get, probably the better. >> you are tough. >> this shows that the people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. people think we're on the wrong track because we are, and it's regular working americans who feel the consequences of it. they're underemployed, undercompensated and very underwhelmed by the economic

policies out of washington, d.c. and it's devastating. these are amazing numbers of disapproval of what's happening in washington right now, and people are concerned about the generational future. when they turn tv on at night, they want to be inspired to believe that hope is over the horizon, but instead they turn on and the commander in chief is singing another rendition of the blame game and don't feel that sense of hope. even though everybody in washington is to blame, the president of the united states is the one they identify with and want him to -- >> wonder what the midterms are going to look like because this is a big shift in attitude in this poll. neil: there is a lot of the blame game. and that's what mark touched on, scott, something i want to pick up with you, i remember we were doing live programming, after hurricane sandy, and there was a lot of blame going back and forth and the government was going to shut down. we did an experiment any time a

press conference started with one side blaming the other, we'd stop the press conference, if not the president blocking every step, stop the press conference. president comes orepublicans are stopping the -- stop the press conference. they'll take it and run with it. we chose not to that we can go to microphone when they did. but we see that behavior when we just keep going to that behavior. and i think that feeds the cynicism, people see everyone pointing at the other. >> i think it basically propagates a lot of inertia, neil. other thing, is it really the government's fault that people aren't saving? that's the end all be all question here, according to the employee benefits research institute, 46% of americans have less than 10,000 saved in retirement. so that dollar doesn't fall far from the tree in the sense to how they feel about the kids, they're not saving money

either. half of american workers don't have benefit plans like 401(k)s to save money, and it's not a great plan but it was a start. president obama came out with the my ra, a way to significantly fund our own deficit spending was a start. but at least something they were trying do to get that out to get people in the mode of saving because we aren't doing as a country. >> every time we talk about the new polls whether from nbc or whoever, interesting people say one thing when surveyed. i'll be darned if they vote in november and vote the same stupid way they have for years and years, i like her. to scott's point, maybe not saving money. we have had a rough few years, a lot of us are trying to recover from the recession, but at the same time, how you speak in a poll and what you do at the polls are so different. >> i wonder maybe depending on the period that you are,

meaning if you are products of the depression as my parents were, they probably think it couldn't get much worse, we went through, so there's hope for you. my dad used to joke, i provided a low bar for you. in a joking way, what he was saying was we've been through a lot worse, we can always climb out of this. that is what seems to be gone. >> sure, seems like the greatest generation to the wineiest generation. neil: speak for yourself. [ laughter ] >> it is sick and tired of sick and tired, taking six years, there's no sense of hope, of optimism. unfortunately they act that way in the polls. we need leadership, someone who's going to stand out to say america's days. neil: history shows that at the right moment something emerges. >> i don't know. neil: you kids watching at home, of course you are, talking to all three of you, your mother and you are spending everything!

[ laughter ]. neil: many of you remember this, social network movie poster saying mark zuckerberg is known for making a few enemies. don't look now. but how does about a billion enemies sound? i might be overstating the point to make a very big point of news out of europe that could, could be huge worldwide to this company.

my motheit's delicious. toffee in the world. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. i never really thought i would make money doing what i love. we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. . >> a million dollars isn't cool, you know what's cool? >> you. >> a billion dollars. that would shut everybody up. neil: here's what could shut facebook up. how about a billion users lawyering a billion facebook users could theoretically join a class-action lawsuit filed by an austrian user.

the guy is arguing that facebook infringed on his privacy. he's already gotten 600+ users to sign up with him. so it could go viral. to attorney ashley burchette who says facebook has nothing to worry about. heather hansen says it could have something to worry about, why? >> it's gotten up to 25,000 users at this point, neil. and a case that could expound exponentially, in europe, in austria, all across the world, other than america and canada, anyone who used facebook who feels privacy rights are violated can join this class. they could really cause major financial issues for facebook. neil: if you're facebook, what do you do? >> facebook needs to move for this to be dismissed. they already had other things, other reduce done that said that they weren't violating european union policy and european union law, so they

need to have the case dismissed. it could grow into the millions and billions of people. neil: how did they say they didn't know about it? we learned since that they acquiesced to this request for information, so they didn't know about it, right? >> facebook definitely knows about it, they know about the issues. this gentleman has been pursuing this for many years, he seems like he has a vendetta against facebook and whole motivation is to get them to change policy. but the real issue is that the users are agreeing to facebook's privacy policy. they're actually agrees when they accept that privacy policy, when they enter the data. neil: like two point type and goes on for pages. if you click accept, you accepted all that. >> you do. neil: you signed onto this. >> neil, a lot of that is not included in that fine print. so the reality is, for example, this same gentleman was able to get facebook to stop using photo identification in europe because it's not included in

the fine print. what he's trying to do here is stop them from using when you like something, selling that information to other companies. that's not in the fine print. what's happened in europe is they have stricter laws than we do and able to pursue these types of cases, could this be a problem for facebook, they're going to be waufing this very, very chose toly. neil: you have 25,000+ people signing onto this, they figure they have nothing to lose, there might be appearance of smoke but no fire, ashley, could that be the case? >> i think there will be a lot of people signing onto. this there is no punishment to them. facebook could kick them off and not allow them to use the service. there is legal financier paying the cost and footing the bill. all these people have to do is sign on and agree to be a part of it. i think there could be power and numbers. so facebook may decide to change policies based on the numbers they get and actually forego litigation further.

>> i agree with ashley's point 100% as far as the numbers are concerned. the more people signed up, the more facebook has to listen. they want injunctions, they want them to stop doing certain things. that is something facebook needs to look closely at. we in america have to catch up to europe in protecting these rights. neil: the irony is a company, great turnaround stock that prides itself on the billion+ users could have a problem because it was a billion plus users, you know? >> huge irony. that's the risk here. there's a huge financial risk here. neil: all right, ladies, thank you, both. go ahead. finish that thought. >> another irony, if facebook decides to kick the users off in retaliation for the lawsuit, that would be ironic. they wouldn't be subject to the privacy rule ands wouldn't be part of facebook anymore. neil: guys, thank you, both, very much. >> thank you. neil: and while we're on the subject of high-tech nightmares, did you hear about this russian crime ring that

somehow got better than 1.6 billion passwords, it's a russian gang. when folks think about what they get from alaska, 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.

. neil: all right, do you ever get requests or urgent reminders from your computer at very sites, change your password, change your password. now we're hearing why that stuff happens. word of that a lot of passwords are getting seized, stolen, and in the largest hack attack ever, a russian crime ring nabbing better than 1.2, some say upwards of 2 billion user name and password combos. are one of them yours?

to the fox biz all-stars on yet another reminder how fragile and lethal the internet is. mark, what do you make of this? >> we look like dumb americans. this is kind of like -- neil: were we the only ones targeted in. >> no. neil: so it's a dumb world. >> right. neil: i like to think we're not the only dumb people. >> right, based on the target security breach last year, our companies should know better that the point. >> i would think after going after our defense contractors. >> you would think. look russia doesn't need a stockpile of uranium and missile sieles to get us, they need a laptop and internet. we look like farmer joe, farmer joe forgot to lock the chicken coop. he needs a better lock or better coop, all right? >> i largely disagree with you that these russian hackers are

working for the russian president. no. these are 18, 20-year-old russian kids. neil: how do you know? >> i've done a story, done the research. we have found them. neil: how do you know? >> putin has enough problems, this is about money, this is all about money and not about politics. these kids are getting millions of dollars from a lot of times in fact it's the chinese buying up the user names and passwords or the information. the credit card data. this is business, this is black market business, particularly happening in russia, but these are young kids but they're darn smart. neil: i don't care where it comes from or who's the reason behind it. i'm worried, scott, it is apparently easy do? >> it's very easy to do and very easy to hide too if you're one of these hackers. this has been leaned on russia. problems with china hacking us. they jump all over the globe like movie lawnmower man, where

you can't find out where they are, they cover their tracks. point was made too, we have a responsibility not to look dumb or have stupid combinations like 12345 on e-mail password. that makes it easy to get in. neil: they got on passwords that were changed repeatedly and a little more complicated than 12345 or exclamation point. >> they're going to lose the trust and confidence of online consumers. neil: what do they do to block it? >> get ahead of the technology curve. >> this data came up with hold security. companies working for the major retailers. they are not letting us know if they were retailers or websites. if this is an amazon password and user name, credit card data is at risk. we can't find that out. >> and cheryl, you know, we're

not going to get cooperation either from russia or china or other countries that are implicated in this, because they have no desire to prosecute anybody within their own country unless they're making offenses against the people in their own country. >> that's why you shouldn't doubt this is a possible conspiracy backed by vladimir putin. why not? why are we sure these are kids that have a financial incentive. neil: why can't our kids get on the stick and do this to them. >> kids are always up to no good. >> kids are rooted out by russian authorities. >> the companies are detecting it but not getting ahead of the technology. >> they're not telling us which companies are compromised. we don't know. we're so behind the curve. neil: on that happy note, i want to switch to at least they're make up when it comes to global wars, it's not the case on the american patent wars but it is a sign two wars parties can get together. it got me thinking about

disputes on capitol hill and whether this might spread around here. something tells me mark, that's not going to happen? >> interesting, because apple and samsung clearly have a financial incentive. if we take a look and apply this question, could we get congress to come to a truce like this with the white house? could we get russia to come to a truce with the united states. and here's an interesting challenge to that question, what we need is a role reversal to test that question. let's get, you know, putin to come and be the interim speaker of the house and let's get john boehner to run russia for a while. so we can have a role reversal and test this theory whether or not we had a truce. we need a truce. you asked do we need a truce? can we apply what apple and samsung --. >> i didn't want to go into crazy land. >> two power companies. neil: i understand. >> and i thought you were going to ask about congress and

whether we can get a truce with them. >> you are right, hope spring's eternal, but it is unrealistic. >> the samsung-apple story, about money and not wanting to pay the attorneys anymore. you have to give up the fight and -- neil: not entirely giving up the fight. they're kind of, you know, focusing on the lawsuits that matter and the fights that matter that could be consequential. maybe that's what congress should set its sights, they have far more common ground on issues, even immigration than we're led to believe. >> you're saying there could be bipartisanship in congress. you are helpful. neil: that's the way i am. i think they're closer than they think on a lot of the issues, because they deferred to extreme elements nothing gets done, at the end of the day, that's not good. >> i agree, the tough part in relating this to apple and

samsung is they need each other, the apple and sam sungs of the world. the lawsuits keep everybody on their toes. i'm not sure the administration and congress feel that way. they want to get as far away from each other as possible and never see each other again. neil: extremism plays into each other's political ads, right? >> when you only get a settlement of $100 million it's a concession that says it's not worth it for the shareholders. neil: very good point. >> cost way too much money and all we get is $100 million back. this is a concession the lawsuits cost too much money and have to come to a truce to stay competitive. >> when it comes to their fight, there is no one sitting around saying what's best for the country? it's best for them, and these are the politicians we elected. neil: i want to thank you all very much. we try to get the world on the same track. talk about officials and how they can get things done.

never goes to the doctor because he is the bomb. that is my points? fortunately you report the news that other broadcasters are shunning, i watch your news program, i feel i'm getting the news that fi fits the the situad the truth, that you ar rather tt and sponsors. >> you have fake hair. stay classy sam. then connecticut congresswoman, who said a sweet idea, jan in florida, tell hunger to take that -- hunger to take her hand, and both of them take a fly be leap, they are both as dumb, hunge unger gave himself by di

diabetess. and that is what i said. darlene, your guest should look at his own responsibility. for why he is a diabetic, if he feels it is because of sugar, he put it there. and registered nurse, sugar does not cause diabetes, sheehan idiot. these people are so full of crap, all of the sugar in the world wouldn't make them sweet, good line. if they want to attack sugar because of problems is causes, why not dac lies from -- tax lies from members of congress, think of the problems they cause. and they want to tax sugar, and will use money to fight diabetes, and obesity, like
