tonight on cavuto hong kong protests getting much louder the worse things get over the better off we could be over here. what's happening on facebook isn't staying on facebook. wait until you hear what the social network is doing with the info it is getting from you. telling chefs their goose is cooked hear emeril's advice across the country. kneale welcome everybody. first our top story it turns out the president of the united states finally does think this country is excite exceptional. >> obama: america leads. we are the indispense i believe

nation. we have capacity nobody else has. our military is the best in the history of the world. and when trouble comes up anywhere in the world, they don't call beijing, they don't call moscow, they call us, that's the deal. kneale, oh, yeah, that is the deal. but it took vladimir putin stepping over china. possibly doing the same to crystallize things with the president. craig smith says our dollar might be benefiting from all of this mess. but this better late than never posture might not be what it's cracked up to be. craig, what did you think of the president stating for many people the obvious. >> it would have nice to have seen the same speech to the un a few days ago.

he's absolutely correct. why doesn't he act like that, neil. it's interesting to me like you said in your lead in,it took vladimir walked all over the ukraine. people being beheaded in the middle east, now, all of a sudden -- he said i'll be relentless against my pursuit against the terrorist, i'll go after bin laden. what about isis? he wants all the people that can't fight isis tolerance. he's very contradictory, the dollar is benefiting because the world is in turmoil. that won't last very long. if this president continues to blame clapper for not knowing about it, malcan i for not allowing him to stay, as one ex-intel person said, either he's not reading the reports, or he's lying kneale you can make

the argument. he's late on america's exceptionalism. he's late responding to isis now. but he's now on board. let's just follow his actions. it would be seem to be pro announced. so do we let bygones be bygones. or are we still nervous. >> i hope he's being honest. the world right now needs leadership. >> neil: they're following him right now. i wonder whether his heart is in it. so far the world against a lot of predictions -- >> but are they really following, neil? go back to the second world war. remember when fdr had his meeting with churchill. he made it clear, i'm going to lead here. churchill moved to the white house, and mr. fdr said i'm

making this crystal clear. you're not going to colonize. we are going to lead. you're going to take our directions from us. i don't see that happening with this president with the coalition. he's like, what do you guys think we should do. let's get together and have a meeting and discuss the best strategy. we know what the best strategy is. our military leaders know what the best strategy is. all we need is a leader to tell the rest of the coalition, here's the plan, here's how we're going to execute it. once you do that, then you have a leader, not anna layoff president that nobody can nail down. >> neil: we might be hearing you after all these visits. craig smith calls them like he says them. i want you to look at some other pictures. these are coming out of hong kong. from speaking out on social media. easier said than done. to our fox all stars is this more proof we should be happy to

be american. tracy, what do you think? >> i think all hodged wants is the status quo. they're fighting for something that's been promised to them years ago. i think it's unfair. they're fighting for what they deserve at this point. the notion that beijing is not pro democracy shouldn't surprise anyone. i think it's getting worse. >> neil: i'm wondering how much worse it gets. >> syringes the internet is par for the course. any time any protest bubbles up -- >> neil: they cannot block those images. >> they cannot. this is a very straddified situation. there is no place to comprise. bainldz want something very clear and hong kong residents want something inherent to their life in hong kong. if beijing is going to put stability first how do they quell this situation without getting more violent and how

does hong kong say yes to anything at this point. >> neil: it's not like hahnemann square. of course, we didn't have social media. it could argue china far more than hong kong. >> it is stunning how large these protests are. that tells a lot of media watchers that this is not going to go away. this is going to be china's problem possibly for weeks to come. what we're watching is the biggest challenge to aauthoritarian rule. so whether or not it's hastened by social media, rather, i think that's all separate. i think if we see a move to democratic rule the last several decades. >> i've always been amazed how hong kong has been able to live this separate kind of life, this separate two kind of chinese.

now, it's been called into question. i don't think the chinese were to allow them to select their own electors, that's going to cut it. now, it's gotten way beyond th that. >> 1997 they were told, you can govern yourself. they've been doing a good job. it's the place to be. they're running an economy better than most. now, you have beijing coming in right now. they have the right to be angry. the more and more we see this, i think the more we will see this. ireland, you name it, we're going to hear this more and more because social media is putting it out there and it's empowering people. >> neil: i want to know how china handles this. they've always balanced being a communist state and a capitalist. >> it's weird timing it's also been bubbling under the surface.

some academics believe it should have happened sooner. >> neil: what is the catalyst here? >> what happened it officially became the decision from beijing the next slate for candidates that were going to run for office would have to be preapproved by the party. >> neil: here are our candidates. >> the real catalyst here is the current head of hong kong supports that. he's in alignment with beijing then of you a bunch of students whorm care deeply. >> neil: is that all young people? >> it started with students, but now it's become a much larger more diverse group. >> it's middle kingdom capitalism verse -- in hodged was adopting certain forms of a flat tax. so and they were basically an incubator of how you do capitalism coming away from aauthoritarian rule. >> neil: how you marry the two. >> we had 69 democracies in 99

we have more than double that. so hong kong is going to be a really good litmus steps of whether or not true democracy forces being succeed. >> neil: what if they don't? it would hurt everything. right? >> they have one of the biggest capital markets in the world. so much business and and so much banking. that would be so unstable. >> neil: it was those two most hit. >> this is called occupy central and central is a district is a district where all the banking is. if this does not work out well it will send a very weak signal. then you will look at what happened to hong kong you will have potential -- their very strong economy. so hong kong, what's so ironic mainly chinese go to make purchases, tons of money flowing

into hong kong. >> neil: many go from hong kong to mainland china? >> a lot of people do business in mainland china. >> neil: let's say china succeeds to hong kong to calm them down, if you're in mainland china wouldn't they say you did for them do for us. >> if you look at sort of of the short history, there's a long understanding that they're two separate systems. it sounds like they really want to preserve what's there because of the increased communication. >> unfortunately it would ruin the hong kong economy which they built so -- so much up, and it's everything. it's succeeding and we should be emulating it. they're going to crush it. >> neil: we hope not. no, that's great. meanwhile, is the tea party

over? four years after taxing up already, are republicans saying enough with the tea party already?

>> neil: we're at five weeks to the election. static control coming down to five races. on those races and what could shape them. how do you see it now, lare? >> neil, i've not changed my forecast. i've said the probability is that republicans will gain a majority in the house. either 59, this last month or so of the campaign is trending republican. it could easily go to 53/47.

if somehow the democrats are able to head off the republican candidates in several of these close states they might be able to pull out a 50/50 tie with joe biden casting the tie breaking vote. but as i say, i've seen the senate as i've had for many months trending republican. >> neil: then the very close states we have an outside candidate that could tip it. that's what democrats are hoping to focus in on. where do we have to most watch that? >> well, it would certainly be kansas. that's a fly in the ointment for republicans. who would imagine that republicans would have a problem with kansas. that's as republican as you get. in that state, you have an ongoing war between the tea party and the establishment republicans. they've kind of split down the middle. it's causing governor great

difficult. he's behind his democratic opponent and senator pat roberts who won an unimpressive victory in the primary is no better than tied with an independent greg orman who won't tell us which party he'll caucus with if he's elected. >> neil: in other words, keep them guessing in these states too close to call. give you that 50/50 kind of break down, then the democrats would still benefit, which i think the president was getting at in his president this weekend. >> yeah. i think the worse the republicans could do though would be to gain five senate seats. that would produce 50/50. i think it's lining to 53/47. they need those extra seats because 2016 is a presidential year with larger turnout and

republicans elected in 2010 in blue states are coming up for reelection in wisconsin, illinois, and those are going to be tough states. >> neil: there are going to be more of them than democrats. very good point. thank you, good to see you. well, meanwhile, at least as election issues for republicans even though that is what got the tea party fueling to that house majority and helping republicans with better than 80 seats. that was then. tracy byrnes, what's happening now? >> it's political suicide to talk about anything important. everyone is backing down. i think we need term limits. that way they can fix the problem, live, without spending the majority of their time recampaigning for their next vote. you show joni earnest she said young people maybe we should segue off the social doll. maybe they should be privetizing

stuff. she got beat up on that. you can't win if you talk about entitlements and death. and unfortunately that's where we are and are backing out and the tea party is not going to win and they're going to back up too. >> neil: that means sitting on the ball and hoping to win and addressing the issues after the fact. >> after the fact when this come down all the way. >> neil: as long as i'm okay. >> the thing is we keep talking about what is the g.o.p.'s compelling vision? >> neil: not being democrat. >> very gradual change you can't believe in. nothing is really grabbing the heart and soul of the american people when it comes to the g.o.p. so what we need right now is the swing vote. it's going to be women in the swing vote. you're going to see these small board issues that the democrat is going to swing at the voter. it's really kitchen issues,

pocketbook issues that women should be caring about as well. >> neil: we should remember what happened in 2010. it all evaporated years later in the presidential election. >> i think what's so interesting it seems like neither side has a message whatsoever. watching the interview last night with the president, if you had asked him, what is the message from the democrats or for the republicans? i don't think the president himself could have even answered that question it's so incoherent from both parties. >> it feels so impro vibrational. we're in a balance sheet recession. it's not like he's the only president that inherited one. he's wrong. three of the last six presidents had aa recession. ronald reagan had a worst recession. >> neil: don't get me going. >> we have a funding bill that

comes up -- we have a government funding bill that's coming up december 11th. we're on bothered money to begin with. she's going to have to fit the bill. >> neil: all right. well, if we're not sending troops to isis, why did a top general say we could send troops to fight isis. wait a minute. and later, it's not just facebook that's getting in your face. how companies are watching your every click.

>> all right. no boots on the ground. americans aren't buying that no matter how often the president says it. a report says three out of four believe us troops will be sent to fight isis. are troops needed? the argument is that some boots to quote speaker boner, not necessarily american, but some boots have to be there. we have 1600 plus that we're told aren't boots on the ground. do you ever envision them being used to deal with this directly?

>> i think they will have to. you know, there's a limit to what you can do with the air attacks. i credit the president for the decision to reengage in war in iraq. but in the end you're going to have to find a way to recapture the urban areas. mosul and so forth. that has to be done by ground troops. i think at a minimum we'll have to have american special operators, intelligence assets and forward air controllers to be sure that when the iraqi army and the kurdish force something g into these cities they go in ways that they can succeed. >> do you think that will ever happen especially when there are polls of military personnel, they envision troops being used, but are not keen on doing so? >> well, look, we have an all volunteer military and they are at least in my experience

extraordinarily disciplined they work your honor the command of the president. if and when the president decides and he is advised by his advisor like the chamber of the joint chief that they're needed, they'll go. >> i know that and i know they've indicated as much, but some of them express refertionz about the commitment on this part of this president. they have reason to worry don't they? >> it's a fair point to question how deeply committed the president is given his ambivalence to put it lightly in iraq and syria over the last three years. but he will have to show them and the american people that he's truly committed to succeeding like he said in his radio address. if he's committed to defeat isil, we'll succeed. >> let's say they're not our

boots on the ground, can you picture any of the arab partners going beyond that? i cannot imagine it, but then, again, i didn't think the president would succeed in building the coalition he has. >> i can see us succeeding without ground forces in iraq by a combination of more armament to the kurds. >> do you have any say -- this whole getting the iraqi army up to speed, that's been a tough one right there. >> yes, but this is an army that defeated iraq at the end of the 2009. the president admitted the problem came when the former prime minister purged this army. we need to get those officers back and the new government is starting to do that now. i think once it's reconstituted

it will be an effective force. >> the bottom line to be clear, you're saying the air campaign as we know it, will not be enough to close this deal. >> that's right. it can punish them. it can get them back out of iraq at least by attacking their lines of communication and supply centers in syria, but in the end they're going to have to be expelled from the iraqi cities they now control. >> all right. thank you very much. in the meantime actress has a it all started voting for the first time is like having sex for the first time. >> your first time shouldn't be with anyone. you want to do it with a great guy. turned be a guy with beautiful -- someone who cares about and understands women. and those finances inside and out. >> anyway the add ticked out a lot of people.

wait until you hear how she's picking republicans off big time now

>> well, done happen is at it again. the creator of girls said republicans are out to get women. it urges democrats, i vote because the numbers backgrounds out of touch, freaking unbelievable politicians out there right now makes my blood boil. she continues the crazy and depressing truth is that there are people running for office that could actually affect your life. particularly your sex life. particularly if you're a woman. so the fox stars william all.

what do you think. >> i think if women sat down and see what republicans are said. it would be quite separate from the reality lena dunham is trying to paint. we would not have to pay attention to lena dunham if contraception, if -- listen contraceptives they make them over-the-counter. who cares? this really is having your boss involved in your sex life. that's the issue. and to think that is on the table, i mean, it's striking to me that that's where we're at. >> you can't blame republicans. you have to blame obamacare. that's where this whole thing started with. she's so misdirected. first of all, you can get contra ceptives. there's one or two organizations saying that they won't cover it. >> a lot of employers say they

will provide it. >> i want to know, does that demean women to think that that's your only issue? >> on the topic of lena dunham in general you have to remember when we air clips like this, she's not just doing this for the democratic party, she's trying to make a statement for herself. her show. she's trying to be a topic. she's using the platform. >> i think most celebrities do that. >> i agree. but it's clear. >> it's demeaning to women. i'm going to go dot polls and worry about birth control only. there are bigger things that affect working women. >> could you be offended if the republicans aren't to your liking on that issue, but all the other issues. freedom of economic choice, et

cetera. >> no. i could figure it out. >> honestly, i've heard some g.o.p. politicians say some really innain things about women's health. they have really said some idiotic things about women's health. >> that makes you angry about them? >> yeah, but i look at the broad-based issues and what's going on in the marketplace where you being get con-- if then could get pregnant there would be be chocolate covered advil. >> there's very little you could add to that. because republicans despite all their gains with almost every demographic with the exception of women they're not really making big inroads. why is that? >> i don't actuallyn the answer to that. it's been a message problem as we were discussing earlier in this show.

it's misconstrued or maybe it's overrepresented in others. there is no good message right now in either political party that really speaks to freedom for women. >> how did ronald reagan win the majority of young women voters. >> you felt like he got it. you felt like if he sat down, he'd get it. >> it was a kitchen table situation. we were coming out of a hideous recession that's why and women saw what was going on to their families. >> understood. understood. >> i would argue that women can also see what's happening right now to their families right now. it's just a much more complicated landscape. perhaps. perhaps not. >> did i step on your reagan imitation. >> i'm glad you did. it was pathetic. lizzie will be leaving now.

when we come back, emeril has a problem with the white house. why is the celebrity chef bringing the heat outside the kitchen?

>> all right. a quick note for you. before we start the next segment. last week i told iphone six owners to get bent. a lot of you wanted me to apologize. i'll give you a little teaser. i'm not going to apologize. but first, emeril is boiling mad. emeril lagasse is saying even a celebrity chef like him is having trouble with this administration. emeril saying, i have nowhere to go really other than broke. the governor should stay out of things. pretty soon they're going to wipe a lot of the middle restaurants and restauranteurs like a if then watch, you're going to have high end and you're going to have fast food and you're going to have chain restaurants to which

i say, is not a problem. anyway, restauranteur agrees with emeril on this. what he's saying is, it's going to be really just a bifer indicated market. >> that's it. i'm happy to see someone like him say that. i agree with him 100 percent. there's no more room for people like us. the average restauranteur. we're working on this marginal profit. >> why is he saying only the high end and low end people are going to make it. >> the high end people don't care. you know, the fast people are going to get it just out of convenience. it's people like us that go a couple of times to a restaurant that's where the dispoaivel income is important.

>> is the president doing things that's making your life tougher. >> yeah, absolutely. everything went up. you know, food products. meat, poultry, fish, everything went up. they're faced with the same thing. the trash company, they charge more. every little thing. >> but that's life. >> that makes prices go up. we become a high end restaurant. it's just not affordable anymore. >> what do you think? >> restaurants like middle america are being squeezed. insurance is higher now. they're killing these restaurants. i talked to restaurants in town. they said they're struggling with it all. there are so many ancillary charges they have to pass to the customer. >> but the bottom line is getting smaller.

>> it's way smaller. it was a whole different thing. you look to expand to get bigger and bigger. now, you're scared. everyone is holding on tight, let me just survive. forget about expanding. >> maybe that's going on with red lobster, the guys in the middle. >> i'm anxious to know what your younger people people that are up-and-coming that should spend more. we're already seeing that decrease. what's it like with the food? >> it's the same thing. people are getting married at an older age. they're more frugal. we don't see them out. we see them out for birthday parties and anniversaries. you don't see them on a regular basis. they're only going once in a while. we can't survive on that. it's very hard. >> you know, who said this was steve, las vegas steve win, he saw this coming.

we already have the cbo saying you're going to have a lot less jobs. stuck in the 99 levels, 2007 levels, still low. i find it interesting that it's emeril saying this because he's usually so optimistic and positive. and now he's saying bam, it's health reform. it's going to hurt the restaurants and the small businesses. and, you know what, neil, that small business mandate was delayed to 2016 so that hasn't even come down yet. >> that's a great point too. the health care -- we're not even talking about health care yet. >> we're just barrel hanging on. >> but you yourself said you're doing better than you're used to to. >> this year we've had a better season. >> people are depressed, they want to eat. >> we have specials, lobster tuesday, it's big thing. >> lobster tuesday?

>> new york is just as bad if not worse. new york city has rules and regulations on dop of everything else. >> the rule for everything. your doorway has to have a permit or some kind of rule. >> ignorance is no kind of excuse. >> you look at the permits on my wall. i need more room on my wall. >> it's always good to see. how advertisers are about to follow you all over the internet. you do a lot of things great.

but parallel parking isn't one of them. you're either too far from the curb. or too close to other cars... it's just a matter of time until you rip some guy's bumper off. so, here are your choices: take the bus. or get liberty mutual insurance. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. call liberty mutual insurance. >> all right. in tonight's blitz, what is happening on facebook is not staying on facebook. the company is launching a new ad platform that gives data to advertisers allowing them to

target ads on other websites to reach you. lizzie, scary or smart? >> it's scary and mart for facebook, but it's also noig. they have to watch it. they can't alienate their users. you are a commodity to them. you are a revenue to them perform so they've got to watch it. they cannot push it too far. >> they're not going to lose people. if you're on it it. you're on it. that's why i won't touch the thing. eventually people aren't going to care. >> do any of your kids find it noig? >> they're not not on it. they don't think it's cool because people like us are on it. >> now, you see more of these anonymous. there's another one called evil zero. they say they don't sell your

data. it is free. the question is though, now there's a flood of requests coming in for people to join this new site -- >> it's not the pizza? >> no. >> exactly. >> so you have this whole new crop of social media yet people still have your data. >> shouldn't we all realize this is the risk. it's like any time we do a search and whatever we search for pops up as an ad. >> it's a risk of when you get -- it's going to show up. >> this is ridiculous. where does this go? do you just accept that tracy? i know your kids are onto other things. do you just warn them that whatever you put online -- >> you don't get it until you get burned. you keep doing it. i bank online. my tax returns are online.

you name it, my whole life is out there. knock on glass table, i don't get burned. this is where we're going. we're all out there. they have to make money. >> a whole trade off, convenience you pay for it in your personal data. >> do you? >> i do bank only. you try to reset your privacy settings and hope for the best. >> you have to keep changing your password. every other week, time to do your password again. i just did it. next up. we know lots of people have been hacked. a report shows 75 million records have been exposed through data breaches just this year alone. >> it's very, very difficult to stop this. you have individuals who are so tech savvy so ahead of the game. if you look at the companies getting hit by these attacks, a lot of them are brick and mortar

companies. you will see in the medium term, people will shop with their pocketbooks and vote with them. they may move to online retailers who have better security. >> i'm surprised how many have been comprised. he noticed some unusual transactions on his have i seen abill. and i'm thinking, if you add the ones those -- he said tens of millions more. >> it's a lot. and they do the nickel and dime charges. so i have talked to law enforcement. i've talked to the fbi about this. and they have said time and again, it's the retailers that doesn't have the powerful firewalls they need. they're really behind the eight ball. they really need to step up their game. >> i still think people think it's someone else that has this hacking issue or cyber problem. i was just looking at my statement and noticed some odd changes. that's more pervasive than we

know. >> absolutely. i happen to go through mine like every single second of every day. but i'm an accountant. it's very easy to see these charges go through. i've had an email account get hacked. >> that's bad enough. >> so you notice the little purchases. >> i notice everything. if it's itunes, i'm calling up. yes, i'm calling up. i got three people banging my credit card. >> such is your life. i want to thank you all. even you lizzie. iphone crybabies asking for an apology simply because i told you not to sit on your phone. simply because i told you when you sit on your phone it bends. well i'm not done.

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: what is the deal with iphone 6 plus customers still out of shape, with some of their phones getting bent out of shape, now getting out of shape with me, making a big deal how stupid they were and are. i made a big deal out of it last week, i said, if you are dumb enough to sit on a very expensive and thin phone, don't be surprised if you look every bit like the ass you are to have crushed said phone, i should have added and you are a supreme idiot as well, george in ohio agrees, fat asses who put their phones in their back pockets get what they get, paul in maryland, sorry to see your team did terrible research on iphone 6 bending, companies compared 6 o -- and drop water, and wear testing, garnered 6 and 6 plus

similar rating to previous phones, don't propagate misinformation. i have no idea what you are talking about. tom, why don't you get in touch with one of the people complaining and get them on the show, show us how it happened. good luck. >> good luck, no luck, i want to talk with someone who has sat on in phone, and surprised by the outcome. dan. i phone 6 plus have passed testings this is about intentional bending by the competition, android lovers. we do know that 9 individuals reported this bend issue in immediate aftermath of phone's release. more than 10 million iphones, and iphone pluss were sold, dave. said, i should look further. brighten up, it is also the front pocket that is bending

them. for how many, dave? one of those 9, 3 or maybe all 9, do tell. >> katie. mr. cavuto, i heard your comment on how many many actually put their cell phones in their pocket, answer is most of us, my iphone4s lives in my pocket. most people i know carry their phones in their pockets, there is junk in my trunk, and still room for my phone, i am no kid, i am nearly 60 years old and proud of it then you are the exception to what happens, the iphone4s is different, it is thicker, iing is you aring sugge lucky or the tech dare devil you intend to be. thank god for capitalism, made me check if i was watching

mcircumstance nbc by mistake -- msnbc, have you forgotten you work for fox or is fox going against capitalism, the message needs to be, it is not evil to be successful. how did i state otherwise? i only pointed out that iphone 6 plus costs $10 more, to manufacture than iphone 6, i made no judgment on it a revealed both phone sales have been staggering. maybe you were watching msnbc, not me. and jay in texas, tell someone in technology department at fox business that fox business news for ipad app does not work if you upgrade to ios 80.2, it does now, i got it on it right away, i have no idea what you are talking about. bill, i am afraid i have lived too long, still enjoy simple joys of life, no cell phone for me, i still like my first phone,

the cans we work, especially if we wax the string. always that all sides covered. we appreciate it, see you tomorrow. kennedy: if you have a small child you are too familiar with the song, "the wheels on the bus". and if you are part of the dodge, you are used to getting thrown ou under the bus, and sie kathleen sebelius is out, the president laying tire tracks on clapper, perhaps clapper unwittingly paid so much attention to 99 american to -- t americans he forgot to train our second apparatus overseas, and obama claims he missed growth spurts. and the white house will lie to us a
