5:00 am
. neil: all right, so scotland is staying, but also staying is this anti-establishment sentiment that did not go away. that's the only scottish thing i'll do. but it is spreading to other european countries and even in the united states, this notion, that people just want to rebel, that they've had it with the powers that be, regardless of where those powers are to be. to former ceo tom stenberg, one thing i noticed in a lot of the votes on this, even though the no vote was bigger than thought is it's close to half the scots who voted really wanted to be
5:01 am
part of the united kingdom and many were assuaged by promises that they would be given a bit more independence. i don't know if that settles everythingorieses this secessionist angst out there. what do you think? >> as much as secessionist as you want local government close to the people and does things the right way as does a big bureaucracy in a capital be it washington or london. that's why you have states in america trying to assert their rights and frankly ought to. and look at obamacare do, it on state by state basis as we did in massachusetts, it works. we tried to do it federally, it's a disaster. neil: you know what i did notice too, is that the vote swung certainly in scotland, when fear started building, what are we going to do without england back itself with the military. without england backing us up with pensions and health
5:02 am
service. a lot of it was turned on fear. might have been justifiable fear, many say it was fearmongering. when the dust kind of settles on this, and scots see what is still a country that is accountable to westminster, to the powers that be in britain, are they going to be as happy? >> well, i think they're going to get a lot more power. they may get their own parliament. they'll be close to the united states. neil: tom, i love you dearly, i don't think that will happen, ever. >> we'll see. if not, we'll have another vote. neil: right. do you think there's emotion for this in places like spain and catelonia, and others that are contemplating it, or did this put the lid on it? >> no, i think it's going to keep going, and just as czechoslovakia broke apart and yugoslavia broke apart, you are
5:03 am
going to see more independence movements. i bet you catelonia has a lot of movement. basque and france, et cetera. neil: you mentioned this idea that the tea party or the conservatives might have been onto some, but they have to channel their rage, make it washington, or make that the focus to your point at the outset, that people don't want a distant central government. they want more control ideally more local control closer to them. >> well, a good example is i work with job creators alliance, and we see the negativity for the economy that comes from trying to install a very high minimum wage. it makes absolutely no sense for washington to dictate the minimum wage. it obviously ought to be different in des moines, iowa than in manhattan new york. neil: well put, tom, very good seeing you again.
5:04 am
thank you very much. >> thanks for having me neil. neil: to our fox biz all-stars. kayleigh, what do you make of the point, tom's premise, the search for more control more autonomy or less reliance on distant central government. that's alive and well? >> definitely alive and well. look at texas for instance, twelfth largest economy in the world, exceeds the size of mexico, exceeds the size of spain. robust, growing economy, and the national scale and an administration that doesn't implement pro business policies, they are frustrated. they are not seeing anything given back to them. neil: a great democratic strategist, you are in the white house, the powers that be in the senate. do you glean anything from this or say that's just scotland. >> i don't know that the white house is looking at this and saying we fear that texas is going to vote tomorrow. neil: they did intervene, we think it's a good idea to stay in the united kingdom.
5:05 am
>> this is an amazing moment for democracy. 90% of voters turning out to participate in the process of something. here in the united states, as a democratic strategist, i can say i think that is encouraging and hope that republicans and democrats turn out in the november midterms. i think that participatinga as a citizen in making sure that the outcome whatever happens in your country is an important thing that we should be encouraging. i look at yesterday's results as something positive no matter how it turned out. neil: the bottom line, liz, is we've got something in the global will water here, that we're -- a lot of folks are saying we're not against government, but we want more of a say. and the fact of the matter is there's been a trend, globally, where centralized government has been take over more and more of our lives. conservatives seized on that and said that's because people are getting in the government. i think it's a little more fine tuned than that. i think they're just against
5:06 am
clueless centralized government. and that's where the local part comes in. what do you think? >> so looks, i think there's a big difference between talking about the tea party movement and talking about states' rights and talking about getting away from a bigger government which is something i completely agree on, and talking about scotland, because it is in the united states best interest that scotland did not successfully break away from the united kingdom, especially if you look at a threat like isis right now. scotland's independence would weaken david cameron who we need as a huge ally with the threat with isis, and it would also undermine nato. putting us in a dangerous position. neil: you don't think anything of it for practical or pragmatic came into the decision as much as scaring people into thinking that life without england would not be good. >> ultimately cooler heads prevailed in scotland, it was
5:07 am
in the economic and diplomatic best interest to stay a part of the united kingdom. david cameron, britain promised them. neil: i don't want to be jaded, i always promised to go on a diet. fox alert, promise isn't panning out. you never know, you never know. a lot more coming up including this item, rupert murdoch joined me going live beginning at 5:00 a.m. yesterday all through 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., so we were covering scotland that was during don imus' time slot. something tells me there is bad blood, not on the part of classy rupert. but don, and ashley, imagine, imagine my shock when i caught this little exchange this morning on don's otherwise very fine show. >> did you think neil was offensive in the amount of kissing up he did to
5:08 am
mr. murdoch when he interviewed him? >> i would expect nothing else from neil cavuto, and i found more offensive his pathetic attempts at a scottish accent. it sounded like an australian with a speech impediment. >> ashley webster from edinburgh. neil: oh, really? ashley! they didn't see this one they didn't see this one coming, in just a few minutes. you know what my business philosophy is, reynolds?

it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. . neil: one of the most popular guests we had on the show back with us right now. i always love him. a, he's good for ratings. his point today it's not only impossible to launch an ipo, increasingly impossible to keep the company. like the guys headed for a cliff because they can't find enough skilled workers. i'm talking about john ratzenberger, in every single pixar film. you're the best. you are concerned about this. big beef is what? >> it's x amount of years going around the country like paul
5:12 am
revere. neil: you have been relentless. >> just put shop classes back in the schools. this is the first generation raised in the history of mankind that is illiterate in the use of tools. so, where is the next generation of factory workers coming from? manufacturers? someone's got to build the ships, the planes, the gasoline pumps, not only the cars, repair the roads, build the bulldozers. neil: why do we give up on that? a cost savings thing? >> by fault. i was at woodstock. neil: that explains it. >> and helped promote the nonoffensive, high self-esteem is more important than actually having a skill. neil: [ laughter ] >> saved a lot of school districts a lot of money, but the mechanics, the engineers, the plumbers, it results in a lot higher prices for those guys to get them. getting a plumber is like waiting for the pope. >> the average age is 86 years
5:13 am
old. they're not around anymore. neil: so what do we do? >> you become a third-world country, if the lights don't work, hot water is not coming out. right now what we need to do is let the kids play and climb trees and twist their ankles. it's okay, it's all right. it happens. when we were playing outside in the 1800s. neil: pre-woodstock. >> we were problem solving. we were fixing our own bicycles, climbing trees and didn't get trophies for everything. neil: you and i were chatting over the break that everyone was a winner and, of course you and i know that everyone is not a winner. >> the advantage of being told you stink is at 8 years old you had an opportunity to face an emotional crisis, and learn how you didn't have to wait until you're 30. you learn at 8 years old, my friends are playing baseball, and i'm sitting out, and find another sport, practice, work
5:14 am
harder, do something, but it made you more of a person, a better man or whatever, but now there was a thing on tv the other day of a kindergarten graduation, and you could see the faces of those kids, they didn't know what was going on. but yet they have caps and gowns and the music is playing. the parents are fluttering around. neil: that's the way it was at my college graduation. you sent an interesting tweet to the very subject. what are you saying here? a lot of reaction to this, i'm quoting, i'm afraid of a world run by adults who were never spanked as kids and got trophies, just for participating. >> right. neil: what were you saying there? >> what brought us to the dance was the high standards, western civilization. anywhere in the world, if you're the richest person in the world and have a son or daughter with a medical condition, you're not going to send the kid to cairo or manila. come into boston, minneapolis,
5:15 am
los angeles, san francisco, this is the highest standard in the world has ever been and it is the highest standard because we once said this is the standard, your job is to reach it. now we've lowered the standard. neil: are you making a reference to spanking your kids, hitting kids. a little bit of that is okay despite all the controversies with a certain football star. >> i don't know it taught me a valuable lesson when i got back handed over the kitchen table. i remember the kitchen table passing underneath me. [ laughter ] >> do they go too far? critics today say that went too far. my father had nine foot arms. he could find me with the nine foot arms. >> find you? neil: in the back seat of the car, stretch. >> the arm had a mind of its own. was it too much then or now? >> i was a punk, i deserved it. neil: really? >> yeah, my father said something and here's what i
5:16 am
did, i went -- >> ooh! >> ooh! i've never done that to a living human being since. neil: you are a good man, john, he means what he says and walks the walk. coming up, you got me, you got don imus, you got something very, very ugly. >> i gotta go. gotta go. >> good, get out! >> a new tray of doughnuts in the green room. oh! oh! >> there are whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts that's when expertise happens. mfs. because there is no expertise without collaboration. with up to 27% more brush movements patented sonic technology get healthier gums in two weeks guaranteed. philips sonicare

5:20 am
antibodies that can help fight off this deadly disease. to infectious disease specialist anthony fauci why this cure could be worse than the disease. doctor, i can understand the desperation here, but it worries guys like you, why? >> well, because you can get into a lot of trouble in an uncontrolled way, transfused blood from someone who's been infected. you can transmit a lot of bad diseases with blood, hiv, hepatitis, et cetera, there could be transfusion reactions. although can you understand why people would want to get plasma or blood from someone who has recovered from ebola, it has to be done in a controlled, regulated way. the idea of having this done on the black market is disturbing, a lot of bad things can happen when you do that. neil: is there medical discipline to it, doctor, if you do get blood from someone
5:21 am
who is successful, maybe thanks to the vaccine to ward off the disease, that there is a benefit in that. and what is the shelf life on that? >> well, this is something that has been practiced in medicine for a long period of time, it's called passive transfer of antibodies or passive immunization, it has to be which you know the level of antibodies. if i get infected with ebola and recover, my body makes proteins called antibodies that are protective against ebola. so theoretically and practically, if you drew my blood, purified that plasma, that antibody and infused it into someone else, you could theoretically and sometimes practically protect them or help them to recover from ebola. that's what people are talking about when they say passive transfer of these antibodies. it's done in a proper way. neil: obviously, when you just
5:22 am
started to lift blood anywhere and however can you get, it it's a sign of desperation, which tells me, that we got a crazy element setting in here, justifiably for the victims understood. there is a black market that could develop and a dangerous one at that? >> indeed it is. when you have pain and suffering and fear with an outbreak such as ebola which is quite frightening, even for those of us on the other side of the ocean who just witness it, can you imagine the people there who are going through this terrible experience, you can understand why they would be desperate to do things. neil: doctor, thank you very much. a perspective we needed to hear. coming up, facebook throwing the book at users? i don't know if joe piscopo is on facebook. he is going want to to hear this one. if the economy is so bad, why do all these people want an iphone so bad? the millennial who says these lines proof that our generation
5:23 am
is out of line.. >> nothing better to do today. >> exactly. it's here or staying in the apartment, so rather be here. >> is this a good use of my time and money? >> yes. >> if you work hard for it, why not buy it. sfx: opening chimes sfx: ambient park noise, crane engine, music begins. we asked people a question, how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $53, $21, do you think the money in your pocket could make an impact on something as big as your retirement? not a chance. i don't think so. it's hard to imagine how something so small can help with something so big. but if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge
5:24 am
sfx: crowd cheering might not seem so big after all. ♪ you know, if you play football foryou're gonna learn toid, deal with alot of pain. but it is nothing like the pain that shingles causes. man when i got shingles it was something awful. it was like being blindsided by some linebacker. you don't see it coming. boom! it was this painful rash of little blisters. red, ugly stuff. lots of 'em. not a good deal. if you've had chicken pox, uh-huh, we all remember chicken pox. well that shingles virus is already inside of you. it ain't pretty when it comes out. now i'm not telling you this so that you'll feel sorry for me.
5:25 am
i'm just here to tell you that one out of three people are gonna end up getting shingles. i was one of 'em. take it from a guy who's had his fair share of pain. you don't want to be tackled by shingles. so please go talk to your doctor or pharmacist. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk. suddenly you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone. so you can breathe and sleep. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right
5:26 am
. neil: you know, it was like christmas all over again, for millions, this was the day, this was the moment, these were the lines worldwide lines for a phone. for two phones, if the economy is so bad, why are all these people lining up for what is at a minimum a $200 iphone 6 and a lot more when you throw in the plan and everything else and move up to the bigger 6 plus. ashley pratt says it's her generation spending on all the wrong things. what's going on? >> neil, there's one thing i'd
5:27 am
like to point out here. maybe my generation should be standing in line to purchase the new iphone 6's and the iphone 6 plus, because we'll be paying off the debt from your generation. neil: here we go. blame it on me! always blame it on me! >> in all seriousness, i can't understand how many young people are affording it, because there was a recent study done that showed that more than 50% of young people, so over half are making less than $35,000 a year. so that's really showing, again, the bad economy, the lack of jobs, especially for young people coming out of college, maybe we're purchasing an iphone 6 and foregoing a student loan payment or standing in line for pumpkin spice latte every day. i don't know. close to 50 million people on food stamps or government assistance, shoe it that our culture or society is able to afford this latest technology?
5:28 am
are we foregoing necessity out of luxury. neil: you are trashing your generation a bit too much, young lady. >> please! you always trash my generation. neil: that's true. you are assuming all of the folks waiting on the lines are jobless, certainly all the guys waiting in lines would never get a date. i think you're half right. the guys on the line will never, ever, ever get a date, but they're not all jobless. what say you? >> are you saying they're nerds? neil: yes, i am, yes, i am. i could see waiting in a long line for prime rib, but i don't know, really, really. >> my gosh. neil: the phone itself could be strategic investment to make you more productive, that this new phone offers all the bells and whistles to help the kids do just that, what do you think? >> i was hoping we would get to this. it's important, for me and my job to have e-mail access all the time. i can respond at 3:00 a.m. if i wanted. you have music on your phone
5:29 am
too, which isn't a necessity but you have the accessibility of it. you have phone, messaging options, skype, facetime, all of the things available at your fingertips in a generation living in a digital age. and my generation especially, we have grown up in the digital age and it's important to have technology when. technology shifts we want the newer products. what is wrong with the iphone 5? that's what i have. the new download, the upgrade. if you can't afford the $200+ plans you are affording after, it doesn't make sense as to why so many young people are buying it other than the fact we want it now. we're a generation, if we want it, we get it. neil: not just your generation, sometimes old fuddy-duddies like me who already have this phone. take a look at this. >> you have an iphone 6.
5:30 am
neil: no. >> bring it over here or i'll beat your fat ass! >> no! bring it on! >> it gets worse. 3rd and 3. 58 seconds on the clock, what am i thinking about? foreign markets. asian debt that recognizes the shift in the global economy. you know, the kind that capitalizes on diversity across the credit spectrum and gets exposure to frontier and emerging markets. if you convert 4-quarter p/e of the s&p 500, its yield is doing a lot better... if you've had to become your own investment expert, maybe it's time for bny mellon, a different kind of wealth manager ...and black swans are unpredictable. hard it can be...how ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier.
5:31 am
spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,... you can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. sfx: blowing sound. does breathing with copd... ...weigh you down? don't wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler. does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene. available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel, biotene can provide soothing relief, and it helps keep your mouth healthy, too.
5:32 am
5:33 am
. >> did you think neil was offensive in the amount kissingup he did to mr. murdoch when he interviewed him? >> i would expect nothing else from neil cavuto, what i found more offensive his pathetic attempts at a scottish accent. sounded like an australian with a speech impediment. >> ashley webster from edinburgh. neil: so you think i didn't see that this morning? well, i paid a visit to my good buddy, i thought good buddy, don imus, seconds later. >> mr. cavuto is here in the studio with us but refusing to appear on the program, and standing over there in front of the camera. what's the matter? >> i'm going to be on next
5:34 am
week, i don't want to spoil a good thing. >> i heard what i said about my chat with rupert murdoch and it offended me. >> you were licking him like a puppy. >> wait a second, yeah, rupert? he's not normally like that. no, no, no, no, no. i'm on with him right now. i'll call you. >> been a new tray of doughnuts in the green room. >> oh! >> there are vials of blood outside. >> oh! >> cavuto showing fox news channel number one for how long? >> 12 years. >> unbelievable. it's a pretty good show. >> why is it unbelievable. >> that's a long time to be number one. >> you give and then you take. >> i want to hear neil cavuto on yesterday's imus and morning program doing his scottish accent. roll that for me, big foot. >> scotland becomes an independent country, that's it. yes, i know!
5:35 am
it is clear to say, though, that her majesty's kingdom is getting smaller and smaller and smaller, and the reality for the brits after this is what do we do to keep everyone happy and together? think long and hard what you're doing. she said think long and hard about -- you know, a scot today said the queen is a human being! >> stop it! [ laughter ]. >> dead-on impression, you had the queen, the brits, the scots all on tv! it could have easily done you, but that's almost too easy. >> oh, my god! >> oh, my god. wait a minute, wait a minute, god, i got to see my shoulder specialist who's going to bump into the elbow specialist and my thigh specialist. >> as long as you don't see your ent. >> when you go back for breakfast in a couple months,
5:36 am
that's going to be it. neil: i'd like to go, you know, funeral for imus, that would be a good one. >> it's 18 after the hour. you ruined our whole program here. neil: i'm outta here, then! >> such an idiot. >> not a lot of time, warner. what are we? a democracy, you son of a bitch. i don't have my gun but i'm going to get it. >> god forbid. this is not funny. this is just not funny! >> i think it was quite funny, indeed. and so does joe piscopo, who's joining me next.
5:37 am
5:40 am
. neil: there's a new report out that's fascinating. shows that a lot of banks are denying mortgages to women on maternity leave, the idea is some of them won't return to work, so the banks figure it's risky to lend them money and might not pay it back. back with fox biz all-stars, kayleigh, what do you think of this? >> three fourths of mothers have jobs, there is the archaic notion that they're not going to return to work, that's wrong. this is a proxy for giving out bad loans, if we had another community reinvestment act coming from the left to give loans to people who can't afford them. so i don't want to see that happen. neil: how do they know they're on maternity leave? >> how would they know the women are on maternity leave. they ask them and can inquire about it according to the fair housing act, if the woman says she intends to go back to work, they have to give the loan if the people can afford it.
5:41 am
they can't deny the loan. neil: what if the father is on maternity leave. >> we need paid and unpaid maternity leave, we can no longer need one of the three countries that has unpaid leave. coming up to the word pregnant in mortgage application and denying someone a loan because of that is a violation of the fair housing act. certainly we can all come to a reasonable conclusion that if pregnant is frequently coming up. neil: like red lining without red lining. >> absolutely. it is clear discrimination and have to say it's intolerable. >> lisa, what it comes down to is, is someone making a guess what they think will happen. this happens all the time. why we headed to the point we were mentioning, banks lending to economically distressed areas that anyone there is a risk and they're going to go belly up. this is carrying it to another level.
5:42 am
if someone is out on maternity leave, the bank is beth they're going to have a child, they have to quit the workforce and if that was the sole source of income, that was dicey, and assuming if the woman is married or with someone else that that person is going to sustain the financial burden and then all of a sudden they can't meet that burden. it's a weird way to judge this, isn't it? >> it is weird, but at the end of the day a mortgage is a business transaction, what we've said is there are a lot of assumptions involved here, and i believe there's 15 ongoing investigations into this right now, and i think ultimately, the big question here is are these women being denied a mortgage simply because they are pregnant or do they also pose some sort of credit risk and then they're being viewed as a liability for that reason? i think if it's the latter, this is a free market and the lender has the right to deny
5:43 am
that mortgage. neil: are you saying, let's say a pregnant woman shows up and the lender is thinking, okay, she's going to have a baby, i don't know when, but she's going have a baby, and you're on the fence whether to grant that person, or a couple a mortgage, and in this overly cautious lending environment, it is another reason to say you know what? better part of that is not to give them a mortgage. >> i don't think a woman's pregnancy should be reason to deny a mortgage. neil: i agree with you. i could see how that could happen. >> i could see how that could happen. what i'm saying is if that woman, let's say she has bad credit, and let's say she is a risky person to lend to, that bank and lender deserves the right to turn the mortgage down. they reserve that right. it's a free market. >> lisa, you make a great point. since 2010 there have only been 173 allegations against lenders, a fairly small number.
5:44 am
my fear is democrats seize on the issue and we need new legislation to give out loans to people who can't afford them. sound familiar? let to the loan foreclosure crisis. neil: remember a few months back where lenders were looking at facebook and social site pages and see you partying or living a grand lifestyle, that that came into play, whether you deserved a mortgage because apparently you were a flagrant spender. you know what i mean? it gets to be a slippery slope. >> there has to be a gray line, if somebody is pregnant and expecting to go back to work, the loan companies cannot then predict out and say, oh, some women don't go back to work, this woman is not going to go back to work. we need to make the assumption they are going to go back to work. neil: i've seen women come for a job interview and not get hired because they're pregnant. >> there is the traditional
5:45 am
notion that women have been in the home is certainly upper class, middle class labeled. not women of color historically. >> the last thing we want -- neil: i think you are trying to give yourself a pass. >> no, no. neil: i'm kidding. >> the last thing we want is banks forcing lenders to make bad practices and make risky loans. >> enough to protect people from this discrimination, so we should have that notion very clear that we are not discriminating against women because they are pregnant and the government is the entity. >> but is it discrimination if they are risky, if they're a risky person to lend to? i think that, by the way, that's where hud comes in, the question is, is there room for legislation? we have hud, we don't need legislation when we have that. neil: you can construct an argument if you are the one turned down. you could say i was turned down because -- >> you're pregnant.
5:46 am
neil: it might have been a credit score that was bad. you could sort of go back and say just like age-related suits, bias suits, i was fired because of -- no, you are fired because you are incompetent boob. i'm wondering if a little of that is going on. >> they can determine if that's a viable or unviable claim. if we have broad scale legislation, is this a viable claim or someone reconstructing the argument as you mentioned, exactly. neil: you heard cases of guys, if you're a stay-at-home dad, for example, and what? >> paid maternity and paternity leave. neil: for how long? >> certainly at least three weeks. in the united states week have unpaid leave? who can afford to take three weeks off unpaid. that puts a lot of families in dire straits. we should move forward and be progressive like 182 countries on the world. we should not be on the same
5:47 am
list as new guinea. neil: do we have the money to do that? >> i think so. neil: really? >> certainly, certainly, i'm in a place where we talk about the deficit frequently, if we readjusted priorities and shifted money towards making families a little more stable, we would see the economy improve as well. neil: taxing the rich more or what? >> that's one suggestion. neil: ladies, i wish you have more time, but we don't. marriage rates, get this, are at a 93-year low. forget this pregnant debate, it might be a moot point. what are people saying about the state of marriage, and why do so many young people say it's not worth it for me? what has happened in your lives, people, that you're so jaded, so negative, so confused. you've got to stop watching cnn. joe piscopo, next. check out all these airline seats.

. neil: all right, this is quickly becoming a hit segment here, say it ain't so, joe, as in comedian, actor and the answer radio show host extraordinaire, joe piscopo. he is a smart guy and a great sense of humor and can put together a lot of developments and feed them. i think just a human perspective. first up, hold the wedding bells, a new census that says that marriage is at a 93-year low. so what's happening is a lot of young people are saying it's not for us. i don't know what happened, joe, in their lives, what they're seeing, what they don't want to do, whether it's financial. it's been almost a century. >> you talking to me? are you talking to me.
5:52 am
neil: i am indeed. >> i'm only one here. >> you talking to me about marriage, why people aren't getting married! alimony! lady, alimony! [ laughter ]. neil: that did it. >> look, there's no mercy! and the family court system. neil: why would women who are by and large the beneficiaries react the same way. >> i talk to a lot of professional women now. this is not a father's issue. neil: it's a stigma. >> no, it's the money earner, you go before a judge and go in there and the family court system of america are ruining the institution of marriage, it's just like that. the judges can't figure out the numbers, you know? you sit there for hours. at this point, neil, personally me, when i die, my funeral i'm going to be face down in the coffin with my butt sticking up and wallet sticking out. neil: the robin williams line, they were originally going to take all my money but settled
5:53 am
on alimony. do they look at these eye-popping cases and examples you mentioned, or is it they don't trust the institution. is it parents? society, they don't make commitments? >> obviously guys like me, i've soured my son on marriage for the rest of his life. neil: really? >> yeah, it could be that. as we speak, mr. cavuto, they talk about gay marriage, i am against marriage, period! [ laughter ]. neil: why am i going to give you the same shot. >> why are you going to do that? stay tuned, it's good to be on the radio every morning, i'll be able to talk about it. neil: what do you tell your son? >> you know what? i say i honestly say she's got to be right. prenup. neil: do you say live together? >> no, and i don't know about that.
5:54 am
i think just a prenup. and i'm telling you women feel the same way. there's professional women they know that got slammed. neil: male or female, why are they jaded too? >> you get stung and you get nothing. the courts take everything away. neil: i can get the same. >> what do you have to offer a young people? two people have to work, it can't be i'll work and i'll be home. no. you work, i work, one person works for the family. the other person works for the united states government, for the taxes. neil: someone was hurt, someone was crushed, someone was a little too close to this fire. [ laughter ] >> i'm just saying. neil: topic two, i know. your next facebook message may be from a disgruntled ex. i don't know why i'm throwing this at my friend, you can now serve court papers via facebook. there is nowhere to hide. >> no, and that's ridiculous.
5:55 am
i mean -- >> how do you serve papers? are they an attachment? >> and you have to put it into a facebook message. neil: you better hope that doesn't get out. >> it does give you the chance to poke a judge or friend the judge. what do you do "like" the judge? this is ridiculous! and a complete invasion of privacy. judge napolitano will be able to answer this far greater than i. a complete invasion of privacy. the fact that judge allowed that guy to go ahead and serve the papers to his wife online, online? it's ridiculous. neil: you can now -- attach it to what we were talking about. the impersonal nature, the distant view we have now, an attachment, marriage, relationship, everything. >> why neil? because the courts get involved. the judge has got to stay away. should be the lawyers should stay away. look. neil: how would you settle these days? >> get a mediator. >> and you know what? you get a mediator of your
5:56 am
peers and not a jury, you get a balanced mediation board and they can decide. leave the judges out. you know i speak from experience. neil: i'm not going to get into personal issues. >> and facebook too. and let's talk about social media. i see you team cavuto tweets out everything, you have to do it on the radio and everything. what's happening now, my debit card got hacked from home depot, that went in there. neil: wow. >> all the social media stuff is tied in together. neil: i'm surprised you go to home depot. i thought you had a group of people handling all that. >> no! i'm just a regular guy that goes to home depot and go down the aisle. neil: don't play this one with me. >> i go walmart! i go to walmart. i don't like the social media thing. the fact you can serve papers on facebook, it ties in there, i don't know how you can get in there, like isis for example. help me out here, why can't we blast all that communication
5:57 am
that's coming out. all the social media coming out. cut it out from the source. get flight there. neil: you know what i don't understand, youtube does take down the execution videos, how do they get up there in the first place? >> exactly. we lead in technology. neil: very good point. third point. in case you haven't seen this. check this out, rick perry chatting with maria bartiromo on presidential runs. listen to this. >> sir, are you going to make another run for president 2016? >> i'll make this decision probably next year sometime. i know to be prepared this time, that preparation is a great deal of what this is all about. neil: what he was saying is he wasn't prepared last time. so he's now, i guess prepared. >> he is the only republican making any sense. you know what it is? the glasses. it's the glasses. [ laughter ] >> made him look better. >> the reverse clark kent
5:58 am
syndrome. he went through it, commerce, i cut out commerce. neil: we all have the moments. >> all he had to do was go like this, uh, energy, energy, it's the glasses! >> he's got, that doing the troops at the border thing. >> he's the only guy. neil: you could make a convincing argument, he'd be a much more attractive candidate. >> thanks for being on the show. neil: absolutely loved it. you ask great questions. >> you were great with imus. don imus is the key. neil: he is not. >> you no, but he is the king, and your scottish accent and english accent. neil: but i'm italian trying to do it. what do i know? rick perry, border patrols was great. i'm so sick of the republicans bashing president obama, obamacare, and it's with merit, benghazi, the criticism of benghazi certainly with merit. neil: a lot of people are
5:59 am
surprised with, this whether you like him or not, he's doing the things that are getting people's attention, and people never -- he is instantly professorial. remember when bill clinton was doing the speech with michael dukakis? you could run, glasses back opresident piscopo. >> don't discount it. neil: boy, if you're personal life came to light in the white house, man, oh, man, that is a movie. >> it is a good movie. for somebody like arnold schwarzenegger going in, it's all out there already. neil: lay the groundwork. fought the battles for you. >> i've been a puppet, a pauper, a pawn and a king ♪ i've been up and down >> very good. no one did sinatra better. >> and no one does a better scottish accent than you. neil: i can try, i try.
