there's a better way with creditcards.com. compare hundreds of cards from all the major banks to find the one that's right for you. it's simple. search, compare, and apply at creditcards.com. first round's on me. . neil: bear with me on a money show. tonight ask this question, why do those who seem to have it all, end it all? they say money can't buy happiness, it would put a nice down payment on it. you would be wrong, robin williams is dead. we are questioning another celebrity gone too soon. why? he was living the dream, right? or the capitalist version of that dream and it turned out to be a nightmare. maybe we're missing something on the wealth thing. maybe shocked by the latest celebrity ending it all thing. he had so many things.
11:01 pm
he climbed that mountain and robin williams was jumping off it, and didn't and doesn't make sense. tonight, we're going to try. welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto. the part that sticks with me my friends is he died alone. robin williams committed suicide in a room by himself, a man who was worshipped by millions, made millions leaving the world like so many other celebrity leave, by themselves, just themselves. just remarkable. and for me all too common. actor philip seymour hoffman, singer amy winehouse, "glee" actor cory monteith. gone at the flash at the top of the peak. i heard a minister say that's what money gets you, trouble. i don't think this is a question of money. i've known troubled rich folks, i've known troubled not so rich folks. i don't think trouble owns a
11:02 pm
particular pedigree or class. personal demons again have no pedigree, they haunt all. tonight, i think it's a timely moment for us all to step back and waive the things that matter and put perspective on acquiring things that do not. let me stress as we start here. there is nothing wrong with getting things. there is everything wrong with defining your life only by those things or attaching respect to those who have lots of things. some things come at a price, but there are other things that are priceless. the stuff you should get as you're setting your life to getting stuff and getting stuff done. excuse my departure from form as we go deeper tonight. not to mock what the network, the show is all about, pursuing the american dream but understanding there is a lot more to it. to comedian, and actor, and joe friend to robin williams. joe piscopo.
11:03 pm
joe, what happened? >> that was a beautiful open. neil: what happens? what happens? >> this puzz else all of us, the death of robin williams. he was such an idol to all of us, he was there when we were coming up, and big star, "mork & mindy," you know? and came into the comedy clubs, could not have been nicer, gentle, nice. comedians are nuts. neil: they're nuts. >> a pain in the neck. neil: an exceptionally needy. >> insecure, always looking for approval, and after you step off stage, that didn't work, why didn't i think of that? you could have introduced me better. never any of that. neil: did you see any hint of, this joe? >> so unsettling. being in makeup now and watching the press conference and they have to give you every gory detail. do we have to know this? i can't say enough and appreciate you giving me the time to say, this was a great
11:04 pm
man, a gentle soul. neil: why do you think he did it? >> i didn't see warning signs, you ask me about anybody else, i saw no warning signs. i got up and turned on the microphone and it's unsettling. i've been there inside out. neil: did you know he was manic depressed? >> no, we knew early on, in the comedy culture, we knew he was with john belushi, he was right there. and we knew what he was dabbling in. then he cleaned himself up and it was great. and comes on "snl," he could not have been nicer. we did a parody of bud light and robin williams is going to be in it with me? you got to be the offtime. not on stage where we got in the back of the limbo and went to long island, he was so warm, there was an aura around robin williams, like a calmness. neil: but you mentioned sensitive and that he was very
11:05 pm
sensitive to criticism, too. and one of the things, "patch adams" got bad reviews, it was a big box office success. that bothered him deeply. >> i didn't know that, i never saw that. if you talk to his close, close friends like billy crystal. i feel so bad for billy, so close to him and whoopi. neil: are you sensitive to that criticism? when people pan a show or an act or whatever? >> no. my friend told me don't read anything, you read the good stuff you get an inflated ego, you read the bad stuff, i read nothing, like my grandmother would say, nothing. i wish i could tell you there was one time we were at a party, i didn't see any of it. all i saw was grace and goodness and brilliance. neil: any signs of financial trouble? >> no, what was that? neil: he joked a lot about his two divorces that it was costing him. he came up with the line, they call it alimony but it's really all your money.
11:06 pm
>> right. here's a guy i admire particularly, he ran off with the baby-sitter. something i admired about him immensely. neil: that's fine. >> schwarzenegger did. neil: stop. >> anyway, i'm kidding, of course, i think robin was just like, if i may, keep it happy, keep it positive, keep it up, remember this man in a positive light. neil: you saw the names i was mentioning and the stars and celebrities, i'm going to lump you in there with this elite crowd, you live in a different world and universe, right? >> i guess you do, i never felt that, i never did the meteoric rise like robin. neil: you weren't too shabby. >> no, but i've always been the utility guy, i appreciate that. my ego is not that great, i can take the bumps and the bruises, i'm on stage nickel and diming my way across north america. neil: a lot of your fans think
11:07 pm
guys like you are a different breed. >> they do. neil: they admire. >> you that's not the case. robin williams is the most sensitive of all, from what i saw. did he get bothered by this? maybe. did he get bothered the cbs show was canceled? maybe. he had "mrs. doubtfire" coming up. "night at the museum," so funny as teddy roosevelt. brilliant guy, three children, it is unsettling today. i wish i had answers, i didn't see red flags from robin williams. as i go on the air tomorrow morning on the radio is take the high road, remember the greatness of this man. neil: do you think we're getting the sordid details out now, how he ended it all. something snapped? you know him fairly well, was there any hint over the years that something was not going right? you watch him and perform and i found him to be brilliant but manic, and i mean that in a very good way, that's what made him so brilliant. he was a little brilliant, but
11:08 pm
that maybe those extremes, this was the downer, this was the permanent solution to a short-term bump. >> to be that brilliant? something had to be a little askew? yeah, probably. to be that brilliant. i was close with him. i watched him working with him on live television, millions of people watch him. and you go yourself, why am i even bothering? look at this guy. neil: wind him up and let him go. >> he was brilliant, and we put him in the sketch in "snl," you take him from outside his element and put him in a sketch. some of them weren't greatly brilliant, but he ran with it and made it work. neil: off the cuff. >> he made it work, to be that brilliant, something has to be short circuited but saw no sign of it. i can't emphasize enough because i've been with everybody because i'm old. so i've been around, and i've been with everybody. i've never seen the genuineness, the heart felt
11:09 pm
goodness of anyone greater than robin williams. neil: don't you think, i'm going to sound very crass and rude here, people are going to look at this in light of celebrity that died much younger than robin williams, they don't deserve the adulation, they don't deserve the outpouring because they always do this to us, they always bum us out in the end? >> i guess so, maybe with other folks, maybe, when you have somebody as brilliant and cutting edge as robin, there's a handful. i could name three or four as we sit here like robin williams, so if there was a fault, if he disappointed by doing this, and it does hurt, deeply it hurts, you got to forgive this man and remember the laughs. neil: are you angry? . >> between us, and i could talk to you, frankly, i'm unsettled. i never get like this. god forbid politicians, people, there is something that happens
11:10 pm
to somebody and you go, what did you expect? not with robin. never expected this from robin williams. so it's unsettling it. nice that you're bringing it forth. like i say on the radio, take the high road, remember the greatness of this man. the demons, i would like to know what demons there were. what happened? neil: we all have them, right? >> why do they have to be so graphic in the press conference? neil: i know. >> let's remember the good of robin williams. unlimited cash back. let that phrase sit with you for a second. unlimited. as in, no limits on your hard-earned cash back. as in no more dealing with those rotating categories. the quicksilver card from capital one.
11:11 pm
unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase, every day. don't settle for anything less. i'll keep asking. what's in your wallet? i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'll keep asking. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems.
11:12 pm
tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking breo. ask your doctor about b-r-e-o for copd. first prescription free at mybreo.com 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
11:13 pm
. neil: you know, sad lie the world does move on, and the situation in iraq proves it, president obama focusing on a regime change there. our next guest is hoping we're not losing focus in iraq. our main mission should be taking out isis and now is the time to do it. i thought that is what we're trying to do, are we not doing it or not doing it the right way? >> i think both. i don't think we're trying to do it. at the point we're talking about military experts are saying that they're not really going to accomplish much with these pinpoint air strikes. we have some people over, there we have a lot of capability, but apparently, mr. obama is
11:14 pm
more content with doing the pin print air strikes than taking on isis. isis is operating uncharacteristically for a terrorist network. they are out in theo. they have assets and people there. if we're serious, which obviously we're not, we ought to be hitting them very, very hard and taking out all of them that we can find. neil: how do you know we're not doing that, jeb, this is going to go on for a while, we're told weeks and months, i don't know who's right, that is eventually the strategy. >> it may be, right now we don't have a strategy, it's none apparent. we're relying on military experts in the field and the military in the pentagon to tell us what's going on and i don't think we're crippling isis, we don't really know what the objective is. i don't think president obama knows at this point. neil: so where do we go here?
11:15 pm
john mccain was saying we need ground support, not exactly troops on the ground. i think he was saying something against technological advisers that would steer that command to the exact position. i don't know how that would work out. but air strikes alone wouldn't do, it and otherwise, this is a costly waste of time, do you agree with that? >> not entirely. mr. mccain has not been right on anything in foreign policy for 20, 30 years. we have to have an established mission. if the mission is to retard the advance of isis, we can do that with the pinpoint air strikes. if we want to really do the job and take on a threat which may affect us in the homeland, we have to park a satellite over there which we can do, get a j-star aircraft above them and organize a very thorough air campaign. neil: do you think there is any appetite for that, jed, i don't see the appetite of that. so that being said, i'm wondering where this goes,
11:16 pm
outside of showing support for the new prime minister if he's allowed in there, maliki won't go away from the throne. what then? is that enough? >> i don't think there is anything that's going to be enough. you're not going to see iraq united under anybody. there are three separate nations, you got the kurds in the north, you have isis, the sunni force in the middle, and you have the shia in the south. theirs nothing that's going to unite them, and one unified country, so whatever is going to go on and may go on for a very long time. we're going to see a holding action, probably, that's the best we're going to see from president obama, and again, there's no military objective here, so i'm wondering do we really even want to stay in baghdad? i'm not sure we do. i don't know that we really want to stay in irbil. there is better reason, there the kurds are very good allies for us in 1990 and 2003. if the mission is to protect
11:17 pm
the kurds, we're going to be there pretty much forever. neil: former secretary of defense under bush 41. thank you, sir. great american education and you don't need to be american to get it. why the department of education says illegals have a legal right. they're entitled to be registered in our schools. really? ñ@ç@çpçpçpç÷ñoxmhmhyh
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
and secondary education. regardless of their or their parents' actual or perceived national origin citizenship or immigration status. goes on to say this includes recently arrived unaccompanied children. what they're saying is illegals have a legal right to this stuff do. they? to our fox biz all-stars. veronica, what do you think? >> i think something needs to be done, yet who's going to pay for it. that's the big question and probably going to fall in the middle class with taxpayers, they're already really stretched, really strained and this is going to add to that burden. these students aren't cheap students to have. they need esl, social and psychological counseling, all the services are going to add up, that's going to put more strain on the school districts. neil: the school districts, a lot can't afford it. i'm going to go knee deep and sound like a callous s.o.b., ashley, why are we doing it?
11:22 pm
>> a lot of school districts are broken and failing and failing our children at home. why is it we're going to open the doors to schools to illegal immigrants here in this country who are going to take opportunities away from our students that are here in these already failing school systems. i can't understand why we think that this is a good idea rather than addressing the problem. and to say that they're entitled to an education, i'm sorry, but our own students here shouldn't be entitled to it it. should be an opportunity that's given to them, and we're not addressing that, and some cities for instance, the opportunities aren't available for our own kids. why is it we're opening the doors are in? >> i think the timing from this is sort of like a tony soprano show, just in case you guys think that this isn't the law of the land, it's going to be the law of the land and not think about not enrolling these kids. what do you think of that?
11:23 pm
>> this issue, like so many other issues, surrounds the immigration issue illustrates how badly we need a long-term, consistent and clear immigration policy. reason we require schooling and offer public schooling options is because we believe our society is better off when other people can read, write and do basic. neil: i know that, when did this extend to people who are here illegally. once a grain in the system it's hard to extract them from the system or the country for that matter? >> the question is what is a long-term plan for the children and have a path to stship or returned to home countries. we stand keep bumping from crisis to crisis on immigration, we need a long-term certain plan so not just american businesses but american society know what to expect. neil: where is this going? the bill is going to be hefty and increasing by the moment because there are a lot of issues with a lot of the illegal kids who are here, but we are obligated to take care
11:24 pm
of them, so a lot of communities affected not getting help from the federal government say what gives? >> we're going to hear anger, some of the superintendents are saying with what money? how are we going to do this? no idea what the bill is going to be. our own kids are behind in math and science. these are issues we need to deal with. i don't know how it ends up, though. neil: ashley, obviously, the education department is putting out a reminder to all if you ended up through any other means illegal or otherwise in this country, especially if you're a kid, you have to be enrolled in a school. the argument could be that enrolled in schools there are less of a danger and less of a threat, i don't know, but that is part of the argument here that it will be more cost productive longer term to get them educated and up to speed even if it means we tell them where to go.
11:25 pm
>> you have the nsf calling for robots to created that will speak english as a second language and teach our kids to do that. maybe we can stick robots on the problem and spend more government money, right? this is completely unfair for those coming here illegally, and i have talked with many people who have come here illegally and struggled for 10-15 years paying thousands of their own dollars to try to become a legal citizen of this great country, this is a travesty to see what's happening across the border. to allow students to come here is taking opportunities away from kids who have come here illegally one, and two kid whos are already here. neil: dor any of you remember these warnings? if they haven't paid a premium, are they enrollees? how many of them wouldn't pay? wouldn't it be disingenuous to
11:26 pm
11:29 pm
. neil: you don't pay, you don't play, you don't count. signing up for obamacare is very different than paying up for obamacare. and aetna is saying of the people that signed up, 600,000 paid. 120,000 can't be counted as enrollees. this is something we have been following for quite some time. if you don't have a paid ticket, you don't have a shirt. and we as taxpayers are losing our shirts.
11:30 pm
applying the rule that some of the insurance companies, in this case, that maybe 30% are not paying, take the administration's 8 million enrolly number and knock 30% off that, right? to the "wall street journal"'s james freemen how this is adding up or not adding up. fox biz all-stars with us as well. what are we looking at here? >> we're realizing that the triumph that the president proclaimed in the spring, 8 million people signed up, look it's a success, never going away, is not what it appears, aetna saying the numbers go down further. neil: the numbers of paid customers. >> the number of paid enrolled customers. >> why? because of the subsidies? >> looking at premiums going up. that's going dissuade more customers. and among the people who don't get government subsidies, this is not a very appealing deal. add the fact there are a lot ofd
11:31 pm
and you have a big part of that uninsured population that does not want obamacare. neil: if you're right, and i have no reason to doubt you, we have to rethink everything we've been told. we have subsidies called into legal question, a lot of people who enrolled who didn't enroll honestly, we've got a big mess on our hands. >> you mentioned the legal challenge. if they knock the federal subsidies out of exchanges in 36 state, again, most people who don't get subsidies are not interested in obamacare. you're talking about 7 million more people probably dropping out of the system. as we go forward, the mandates get tougher, the costs go up, as we go forward, insurance companies don't get the same bailouts. these are called risk quarters, if they get more expensive patients than they thought. all of the things drive costs up and patience out of system. neil: we already know that a lot of the folks enrolling are
11:32 pm
not the young healthy folks who want the guys like old farts like me who are an expensive drain on the system and my own kids hate me. [ laughter ] >> that is not a good mathematical formula going forward, right? >> right. part of the rules of obamacare were designed to take some of the risk element out of insurance pricing. and, of course, for young people who are healthy, the risk for that type of health care customer is very low, they're pricing in a free market health care system would be low. you take the rules in obamacare, the one to three ratio that requires my premium to be as high as one third of the given pool as a young customer i have to pay, one-third of the highest price is not reflective of the risk that so many young people pose to the system which is very low. we're not seeing the right shape of pools and still debating the size of the pools,
11:33 pm
debating the size of the enrollment. i caution pundits on the right and the left not to depend so strongly on the enrollment figures of the bar of success or the bar of failure when the law calls so much into question. we have to be evaluating not how many enrollees but are they satisfied? are the networks broad enough to provide for the patients in the network? there's a lot of questions that are still out there that will continue to monitor it as the law continues to be implemented. >> i didn't understand what you said, but i'm outraged now. i'm kidding, i'm kidding. where does it go? it can't financially support itself, obviously to james' point, we can keep pushing this forward and delay costs, penalties, subsidies, et cetera, but it is not, you know, a map that supports itself. >> no, and i think this is
11:34 pm
petalled in a way, free health care, "new york times" came out and said obamacare coverage, those that have enrolled, they don't know how to navigate through it. and the costs are much higher than they thought. these are people who enrolled and bought into the system, and are realizing i don't know what i signed up and i can't afford it. as subsidies are taken into legal question as we mentioned previously and as hadley said, this is a bad deal for millennials, not as many signed up. >> that was the central premise. a bad deal for folks here, they're rejecting it. that's clear. >> they can't afford it. this is not a plan for the cheap. you also got to wonder, the millennials aren't signing up. aetna and cigna, what's the incentive for them to keep being a part of this? neil: only this could take you creepily side with the insurance companies.
11:35 pm
>> you bet. neil: he who creeps you out less. >> they're part of the reason we got this law. neil: and they got a lot of people. >> shrinking the potential political coalition for it, and shrinking the pain if you repeal it. there's a reason people focus on the numbers. this didn't solve the uninsured problem. 30 million uninsured is a small fraction. neil: in the end, we're still going to have it. >> and are consumers going to pay? neil: corporate karma is worse, that is what happens when the president keeps bashing the companies. carly fiorina on the sudden 180 on corporate america. (trader vo) i search.
11:36 pm
i research. i dig. and dig some more. because, for me, the challenge of the search... is almost as exciting as the thrill of the find.

11:39 pm
. neil: no wonder a lot of vulnerable democrats are staying away from president obama. they don't want him near states, districts. a new poll shows americans plan to vote republican in november because of the president's policies. former hewlett-packard ceo carly fiorina says a lot of that is because the white house isn't making decisions that aren't beneficial to them but wouldn't be beneficial to them. carly, how bad is this getting? because i do see that this old argument, ceo's, clueless, tax dodgers and the rest. people trust the government and that is the white house, a whole lot less than they do the ceo's, the white house is bashing? >> it does get old. more to the point, people understand business isn't perfect and crony capitalism
11:40 pm
exists. on the other hand, customers have choices about who may do business with, and shareholders have choices about whom they invest in, and those choices provide accountability. on the other hand, they see a white house with no accountability, they see big bloated bureaucracies that are incompetent at best, corrupt at worse. the veteran's administration, they say a business could never survive with these customers. whatever you think about the wars in iraq and afghanistan and how we got there, what people can see is that this president doesn't understand that timing matters. you know, he's bombing isis now in iraq, it's making no difference by the pentagon's own admission, had he done it four months ago, it would have made a difference. it's silly to blame president bush and nouri al-maliki, not that he's a great guy. but not bush's and maliki's fault they have a terrorist
11:41 pm
army marching across syria and iraq. neil: it is, to your point, this president's fault we have a pejorative about business, the fat cats equating all ceo's with homes in the hamptons, he's doing that by design, they're not the only ones getting sick of the caricature, the american people are sick of it? >> doubly hypocritical for obama to be making that case when. have you regulatory complexity and a complex tax code, who benefits from that? big business. in other words, it's liberal policies that make crony capitalism worse. neil: carly, this doesn't -- i'm sorry, does he get any run for the money then saying a walgreens or company trying to take advantage of a tax loophole or aversion loophole is evil. walgreen shelled that initial
11:42 pm
talk, but it is a legal option companies have, the president paints them as being unpatriotic. is he winning that pr battle or long-term losing it? >> long-term he's losing it. there is bipartisan support for reform of the tax code. the people who are being hurt most by a complex, uncompetitive tax code are small business, which is the back bone of our economy. you and i have talked about this, but i think people get fired and say president obama, you're not such an effective leader yourself, you don't make decisions in a timely way. you are not leading. the world now is ignoring us, the economy isn't getting better for main street. that's on your watch, president obama. when you're an effective leader, perhaps have you latitude to criticize others. when you're not effective and he's increasingly seen as ineffective in bureaucracies and government programs are seen for what they are, bloated
11:43 pm
bureaucracies that are incompetent and corrupt, people say clean up your own problem before you criticize others. neil: i'm noticing this pac of yours raised over a million dollars, not too shabby, and you're going to make another run for the senate, or higher, president, what are you doing? >> right now focusing on a grassroots effort in six swing states, virginia, north carolina, new hampshire, michigan, colorado and iowa, states where we can win senate seats where we need to win senate seats and where women are going to make the difference. neil: this isn't about carly fiorina setting the stage? >> no, about women talking to other women about why conservative and republican policies lift all of us up, men and women? and we know that unless we can close the gap between women who vote democratic and women who vote republicans, we're not going to win the key senate
11:44 pm
seats. neil: great point. carly fiorina. thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. neil: move over doritos loco tacos, there's a new taco that is downright loco! but here! 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
11:47 pm
. neil: you know, they're calling it taco pie. no they're not, we just came up with that. anyway, this is what a taco bell spin-off, u.s. taco company introduced a new taco called the 1 percenter with a $10 price tag. it's a taco. it's one thing to blast the rich but now making money off the rich. what do you make of this? >> that's the best part of the irony of this.
11:48 pm
they're going to turn a profit off of mocking the wealthy. let's mock the wealthy success and profit off of it. i don't understand why there seems to be a trend recently as we see with mitt romney being demonized for wealth and everything as well a couple of years ago. it's sad we demonize and make people who are wealthy and successful be icons of what we believe the mean and terrible things of capitalism to be. neil: i don't know that they're being mean. they're embracing it. >> i don't think so. i think it's mean. >> i think they're trying to funny. maybe for a teenaged boy this is very funny. the studies have shown that america isn't so much into mocking the rich these days, they're more into mocking washington. if they want to come up with something funny, tie it to a washington or are congress. neil: or taco-bama care.
11:49 pm
