11:00 pm
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. . >> tonight on "cavuto," if you think ebola fierce are overblown, wait until you hear how bad it is about to get? the global warning in just a moment. as if fliers didn't have enough to worry about. the must see video about this horrific in-flight situation. and meet the doctor taking obamacare fight to the second highest court in the country. is the supreme court his next stop? plus the latest in our fight against isis and what home grown terrorists could be planning right here. "cavuto" starts right now. welcome, everybody, i'm david asman in for neil cavuto. and our top story, it's flu season, but fears it's turning into ebola season.
11:01 pm
flyers and investors rattled over any sign of flu symptoms in the air like this scare in boston yesterday, and with warnings like this one, no wonder they're on edge. the world health organization saying in just two months we could see up to 10,000 new cases of ebola per week, per week! to former health and human services secretary mike levitt on whether investors and flyers have a right to be rattled. governor, good to see you, thanks for coming in. you know, you have two sides of this, of course, some people say that those of us in the media are exploiting people's fears, other people say the cdc has been much too calm about what they can do, where do you come down? >> at a moment like this, it's important to inform but not inflame. the people of our country and the world deserve to know that pandemics happen, and when they do happen, they can be very
11:02 pm
difficult, forceful experiences for the world. we have a pandemic every 30 or 40 years, they happen with enough distance apart in we forget how serious they are. so this is a serious situation, and when we have to act very carefully on and we -- we're doing the right thing at this moment which is try to contain it when it hits the united states. >> some epidemics we can prevent from being pandemics, we couldn't do that with aids but perhaps we can with ebola if certain steps were taken. they have to be taken by courageous leaders, there aren't a lot of them in the world right now. one of them suggests cutting off, quarantining the three western african nations most hit by ebola. what do you think of that? >> the idea of blanket travel restrictions has been studied very closely, and frankly, it has not demonstrated to be
11:03 pm
effective. however, extraordinary measures should be taken to screen anyone who guests on an airplane in liberia and some other country, and the same kind of screening ought to happen when they land inside the united states. >> let me push back if i could, governor, forgive me for interrupting. it's impossible to do the proper screening since the latency period of ebola can be 20 days. like in the case of duncan, who died last week, he had no signs of ebola, no fever, he did lie on papers. you can't prevent people from lying either, that shows how difficult. unless you have an absolute quarantine, how difficult it is to prevent ebola from crossing borders? >> here's the problem. i'm in liberia, i want out, i'd like to get to the united states or some other developed country. i fly to paris, i fly to barcelona. i wait a day and get on the airplane. i fly to mexico, i cross the
11:04 pm
border. ultimately travel bans on a blanket basis sound good, but the study put into it, and the exercising that's been done makes it clear they're not as effective as they sound. we have to do basic blocking and tackling, screening and containing whenever it occurs. >> you know who would disagree with you? a lot of people in nigeria. nigeria was about to have an outbreak, they quarantined neighbors hit hardest and essentially stopped it in its tracks. who knows what can happen? for the moment looks like nigeria's quarantine from west african neighbors prevented an outbreak there. >> they did a lot more than that. they did a good job in containing the cases. the same kind of thing we have to do. what i'm suggesting is not necessarily my opinion, it's the opinion of those who have studied this extensively over the course of time. >> governor, thank you very much for coming on. mike levitt.
11:05 pm
i call him governor, he was governor of utah as well as head of hhs. pleasure to have you on. please come back. >> thank you. >> flyers have safety issues to worry about aside from ebola. an american airlines plane make emergency landing after cabin walls started to buckle. if the airlines and the faa can't catch simple stuff like this, how are they going to do something like stop ebola in its tracks. to hadley heath manning who says we have to wonder if the faa is doing enough? hadley, what more could it do? >> the white house has announced that five international airports in the united states are going beef up screenings for people who pose a risk that is ebola related. those screenings will see 150 people per day. we have to ask is that the most effective, the most cost effective way to screen passengers flying to the united states. we have to ask whatever the government's action is
11:06 pm
responding to ebola what are the costs? not just in terms of taxpayer dollars or private dollars but in terms of the convenience to americans who rely on international travel at home or abroad. >> hadley, understanding of the expertise needed to distinguish whether somebody could have ebola, and look at what happened yesterday in this plane that was beginning to buckle. look at this! you could see the plane that you're flying in fall apart while you're still flying. i just wonder again, i'm sure they did the best and they did avoid catastrophe on that flight, thank goodness, at the same time, are these the folks that keep ebola out? i don't think so. >> well, interestingly i think statistically speaking, flying is safer than other forms of travel like driving, and it's important to know that whenever you step outside of your home, you face inherent risks in living out daily life.
11:07 pm
but it's important not to overly alarm the public whether it's ebola or mechanical issues on planes. know that the private industry, the airlines themselves have an interest in protecting their flight crews, protecting passengers, protecting the traveling public. so know that many people are working as hard as they possibly can to contain the risks but we cannot eliminate risk from our lives. >> you can't eliminate risk but can do more to prevent people you are not sure about having ebola from coming here. hadly, thank you very much, pleasure to have you here. >> thank you. >> not just politicians, 75% of doctors support banning travel from west africa to the united states. to jonas max ferris, noelle and tracy byrnes. >> three out of four nurses say
11:08 pm
hospital don't have a policy. 76% of nurses say hospitals haven't told them what to do. and 85% of nurses say there is no interactive dial on, they don't feel prepared. doctors don't feel prepared. why not? it buys us time if you put a travel ban. >> and the nurses and the doctors are on the front lines, and the nurse in texas was caught up in this and has ebola, despite the fact she did precisely, apparently, what she thought needed to be done. >> i think this brings us to another question is, did you notice that obama was one of the first people in the united states jumped out and pledged 500 million to contain ebola in west africa. now that we're seeing some of the people try to creep into the united states, maybe we might want to rethink coming into the area and go into precautionary measure into the united states. >> jonas, what do you think of
11:09 pm
the travel ban? >> a lot of doctors are plastic surgeons, they don't have economics backgrounds, when you have something that makes them illegal, which sounds great to becoming a doctor out there. you are going to create a black market in travel. if you think the current screen is bad, what do you think the guy smuggling people out of country is going to do with screening. you mentioned how long it takes the disease to incubate. have a 21 day holding period, you have to register, you can't leave that facility until you get on the plane. >> that sounds more complicated than the quarantine. >> making it legal so people can get out of the country. >> you're saying you have a big hotel. >> hotel ebola there. >> come on! >> i don't know. >> we're not talking, with all due respect people with west africa, people with a load of money. they don't have the financial means to make it more complicated than it is.
11:10 pm
they can either go on the airport and get on the plane or not. we're not saying don't let the experts help these people. >> we have quarantine here in the united states, there are people who have been exposed. the camera crew from nbc are in forced quarantine. if we can force our own people to do it, why can't we force people to stay there until we get rid of this. >> people from sierra leone is going to go paris and start from paris to here. when you see someone's passport going from pair to its united states, you're going to see where they live, where the passport is from. and you're going to see the point of entry and the days. not like they're going to get one over on us. go to paris and appear at jfk where it originated. >> i suggest it would have to be highly coordinated with other governments directly involved and unfortunately we don't have a good track record of having done that in the past couple of years, despite the difficulty, shouldn't we try?
11:11 pm
>> people come across the border of this country. imagine the borders of africa, they're never going to be controlled. >> people on the front line who take care of us. if they're nervous, we have to do something to protect them. >> last word from tracey. democrats saying spending cuts are causing ebola outbreak. governor bobby jindel blasting back. first, are we doing enough first, are we doing enough to stop home grown (receptionist) gunderman group. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label

11:14 pm
11:15 pm
the village throwing a smoke bomb at new york city restaurant, and disappearing back underground. no injuries but how does something like this happen? do we have to worry about security holes like this one? to heritage foundation senior research fellow for programs dakota wood. great to see you. what was this about, by the way. this wasn't terrorism involving jihadists at all, was it? >> no, no, appears to be a prankster, somebody to see what they could do and cause problems. i haven't heard linkages to a terror plot, per se. >> it did tell us a lot what a terrorist could do? >> in a free and open society there are always opportunities. there are always risks that a free society takes and allowing free transport, movement, we don't have checkpoints in place, those kinds of things. there is a level of risk we have to accept in america in the society we have. david: there was at a small
11:16 pm
point, maybe not, you can tell me whether there was or not. there was supposed to be alarm that went off when the grate was lifted. it did not go off. i'm wondering how on the guard or off the guard we are in new york? >> we're looking for perfection, right? there are system checks, perimeters are looked at. have you roving private security or local law enforcement that no system is perfect, that's why i mentioned there is always a level of risk. the important point like the ebola pandemic fears is perspective is important, and keeping a sense of proportion. what is a risk? what is a threat to the public? what liberties are you willing to give up, to give more or increased protection to the point where you have surveillance state, and you know you're completely open to any kind of surveillance or checks in law enforcement might want to impose. and we don't want to go down that road. david: no, we don't. on the other hand, we're aware
11:17 pm
what's happening overseas and the developments with isis. if isis, this is a big if, pray it doesn't happen, if isis takes over baghdad and eventually establishes a genuine caliphate, do you think it would make it easier for them to attack us here in the united states, and how do you think they'd do it? >> i don't think it would make it easier, there is plenty of space they control right now. if you want to have a planning cell or group hiding out in a building, plotting something, the groups that we've talked about before here in the media that were plotting in syria. david: as we saw -- forgive me, as we saw in before 9/11, if terrorists have control of a government, they can do a lot that they can't do without control of a government, diplomatic privileges, et cetera. if that happens, if isis is legitimate in some way, we should expect a lot more
11:18 pm
terrorism, should we not? >> i think that's a lot of speculation. we're presuming it becomes a legitimate government. this was the concern with saddam hussein where, you have a tyrant, he provides sanctuary for plotting and mayhem for terrorists. hezbollah presents the same problem, ham as you does. any tyrannical regime provides that. you are looking for sanctuary, isis has that, there was concern about the khorasan group that the administration held up as an example, they are recruiting westerners and trying to leverage the passport privileges to give people experience and put them back into the system. david: who would have thought isis could get this far and we would do so little to stop them from getting this far. dakota wood, thank you so much. >> thank you. david: appreciate it. we're gaining ground in the oil game, sink oil prices are reducing dependence on foreign
11:19 pm
markets. phil flynn on whether this will last. the slowing of demand because of the slowdown in europe and china is affecting oil price tremendously, isn't the u.s. production of oil through fracking and drilling, isn't that adding to the supply which lowers the price? >> it sure is, and creating a rift in the opec cartel. politically, economically, you name it. and what's happening right now in the opec cartel, they're actually raising production to test the mettle of the u.s. oil producer, i think they want to drive down prices to survive the lower prices, they're going to be surprised and we're going to be able to survive lower prices in the u.s. >> how low? if for example, oil goes down into the 70s, could we still produce oil domestically here in the u.s. at a profit? >> i think we can, dave. you know a lot of the shale producers are the most
11:20 pm
efficient in the world. technology is better than anything opec has in a lot of ways. and the other thing that the u.s. oil producer has going for them that some of the opec countries, they don't have to support an entire economy based on price for oil. so we have that advantage. of course, we have to remember in the 1980s. saudi arabia flooded the oil with market. they drove down oil prices, knock the texas oil producers out of business. i think they're going to try to do that again, but this time a lot more efficient, and i think that they're going to make a big mistake if they try to drive down prices too low. david: i love it. a little good news, and phil flynn, you brought sunshine into our lives when we needed it most. good to see you, from chicago. good to see you, from chicago. david: chris christie, why

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. 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.
11:22 pm
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. ghave a nice flight!r bag right here. traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company who knows that the most on-time flights are nothing if we can't get your things there too. it's no wonder more people choose delta than any other airline. my motheit's delicious. toffee in the world. so now we've turned her toffee into a business.

11:24 pm
quote, a typical corrupt new york politician. to rob astorino now on this last minute push by romney, whether it's an attempt to fix chris christie's mistakes, we reached out to governor cuomo's office but yet to hear back. good to see you. >> good to see you, dave. david: you are running against governor cuomo, governor cuomo has a 23-1 advantage over you financially. that's a lot more money. now governor christie from new jersey because he's head of the governor's association has a purse that he could offer you money from. he hasn't offered you that money, has he? >> he hasn't. he's driven through new york many times to go to connecticut, risen money for new yorkers. david: why not? >> you'd have to ask governor christy. he made an awful statement in the summer that we were a lost cause. how do you make that statement in the summer when you have plenty of time? governor cuomo under federal
11:25 pm
investigation by corruption charges, witness tampering, obstruction of justice, poll numbers are atrocious, only 40% approve of the job he's doing. 81% of new yorkers say life has gotten worse under cuomo and majority say we're going in the wrong direction in the state. he's hovering in the 50s or the 40s in the polls. >> why can't governor christie, who has a pot of gold, it's enough to help you along, why isn't he dipping into the purse to help you out? >> you'll have to ask him that question. i'm thankful for governor bobby jindal on thursday, governor walker has come in, governor perry, carly fiorina leading women for astorino. governor romney, governor bush have put out letters. we're getting support, maybe not from the rga and governor christie. david: the rga is the republican governor's association. jindal very much in the news, on this corruption charge by the way, you mentioned nothing
11:26 pm
proved against governor cuomo he is corrupt. >> ongoing investigation by the u.s. attorney who is admitting they are investigating the governor. only can the anti-corruption commission be corrupt in new york, that's what happened. so obstruction of justice, probably witness tampering. david: probably in chicago as well. >> the crazy part, the university of illinois ranks new york as the most corrupt state. that's saying something. david: when he was head of hud, housing under the clinton administration, and some people blame him, including certain left wing authors blame for problem with the subprime crisis. do you? have you brought it up or has he forgotten? >> we have the highest taxes in america, the most corruption, we've got the worst business climate. david: that's not what the commercials say, they say come to no, we'll give you a free

11:32 pm
blame? to our fox biz all stars on if the cdc budget is really the problem. you know how to go through numbers. what do you think? >> there's so much disgusting overspending. they spent $3.2 million to get monkeys drunk. we have stupid examples in this economy of ours of wasted money. that's not why we have a handle on ebola. the fact they have the audacity says a lot where the democrats are going. david: you've been involved in various races. if a republican came out with an ad suggesting that democrats for some reason were responsible for ebola in the united states what kind of fury would there be in the media. >> fortunately we're not that desperate right now. david: we meaning the democrats.
11:33 pm
>> yeah. there were prior ads running against tom associating him with ebola and budget cuts. so i think this is -- a lot of this is a desperate attempt to put anything you can on republicans because even nate silver is saying it looks like it's going to go to a g.o.p. senate. when you have something like that, you pick out desperate things. people are scared of ebola. okay. let's make the people scared of republicans with ebola. david: it's the same people that had push granny off the cliff. these are the same folks. >> people are going to die -- look, the bottom line is all these cuts can be handled without people dying. david: again, you're using the word cuts. there hasn't been a cut there was an increase of almost 9 percent between 2013 and 2014 for the cdc. let's keep it on the cdc. >> but you showed the guy with the jumping on the fence. they had a budget cut.
11:34 pm
but who cares? david: facts sometimes are important. >> the point let's say it was cut 5 percent then there is something in the budget that is less important than ebola than those kind of problems that could have been cut to make up the difference. if there was a cut. there wasn't the point just having more money won't solve the problems. ebola spreads because of poverty and if the government wants to say, there's nothing in it for the drug companies we need to put a billion dollar prize you'll win because you won't get any money selling this drug to africa. that would make sense. >> it's a scapegoat. no one has an answer so the democrats immediately say, well, it's -- david: even for scapegoats -- doesn't there have to be some credibility test of which there is none. >> same with the secret service. did you buy it then? do you buy it now? there weren't cuts with
11:35 pm
the cdc. david: actually there were changes in the cdc and what their priorities were. those changes were made by the obama administration they moved somewhere about $500 million away from the things that could have prevented the ebola outbreak. >> try to put the blame on the administration they're famous for slipping out and putting the blame on someone else. i'm surprised where the white house didn't blame bush somehow. david: but has the protest from folks who object to the misuse and the ads -- have they made an impact? >> no they've not made an impact. you've got distrust in government period. you have the irs. you have the va scandal. people do not trust the current administration and they don't trust government in general. so it's not working. david: next meet the y'know what my business philosophy is, reynolds? >>no. not exactly.

david: more legal troubles for obamacare. dr. lare is taking his health care fight all the way to the nation's second highest court. he's arguing that it doesn't matter how bad the law is. the administration can't change it without congress' input. those hearings begin today. along with dr. lare joining me exclusively. so dr. lare, i would think since you don't like obamacare you would be for delaying it as long as possible. >> i want to uphold the rule of law. our gripe is that the employer mandate was supposed to go into effect january 1st 1st, 2014. the president decided last july that he was a one-man congress and auto was going to wave the law. i shouldn't say delay, but cancel the law and in conjunction with
11:40 pm
judicial watch we don't think that's okay. david: if you win your lawsuit, we would have a quirk actualization. you would to have deal with obamacare more quickly than if it was delayed. isn't that going to cost you more money? >> it's not so much a matter of just that. it's a matter, are we going to obey the rule of law or not. speaking as an employer it matters how it hurts me as an employer and how it hurts other employers to run a business without being able to understand what laws affect us how we're supposed to be governed. how we're supposed to respond and reply. i believe we should be a nation of laws. the most expensive thing we could relinquish is our constitution. david: the doctor brings up a great point about business. you have to plan. if you can't plan because people are changing the rules all the time, that could end up costing you more money is that your point? >> absolutely. our point here is that
11:41 pm
dr. larry spent time and money to comply with the law because he thought the law was going to take effect. the government then decided not to enforce the law and since dr. larry had to comply with the law, all we're asking is for the administration to comply with the laws as written. david: but michael didn't a lower court -- a lower court decided that the doctor wasn't actually hurt by the delay of the law and therefore dismissed the case, isn't that correct? >> that is correct. and the government continues to argue that dr. larry was not injured and that's not understanding what it's like to run a business in this country. you don't spend money earlier than you need to. and so we're asking the court today to let us go forward. to let us order to the lower court that the delay of the mandate was unconstitutional. david: doctor, what is your goal here? and, by the way, are you
11:42 pm
ready to take up to the supreme court do you think you can actually change the president's decision to delay the implementation of the law? >> i do think that we can change it. not necessarily by virtue of his decision, but by virtue of a judicial decision to simply make sure that the law goes into effect as planned and as and end a message to the president you're not a king. we respect the rule of law. you're not a one man congress and i would argue to you that he has no more right than you and i it change a law apart from the will of congress and we'll see to it that the law stands as being the law of the land. david: everybody whether he's a president or somebody like us has the same rights that should be the way it works in the united states. let's hope you show that's the way it still works. thank you please come back and let us know what happens. appreciate it.

david: so is hollywood out of touch with reality? i know that sounds like a silly question to ask. celebrities are still starstruck over president obama just last week gwyneth paltrow telling obama she's still one of his biggest fans, but at the same time the democrats running for office are avoiding the president. suzanne somers the author of a new book i'm too young for this the natural hormone solution
11:47 pm
to enjoy menopause. we'll talk about that, but, first of all, why is hollywood so in love with this guy, with president obama? >> you know, whenever i've been in washington, d.c., washington, d.c. is just has crashes on all the celebrities. and the celebrities have a crush on the politicians. i haven't ever been in either one of those. david: but i didn't notice that crush for richard nixon, for example. that certainly didn't happen or george bush. >> you know, who i actually have a crush on. george bush, sr. i'm in email contact with him. i have an active crush with him. i was rehearsals one day and i wanted to use a clip. one night i woke and up i turned on c-span and there's bush senior and he said the reason marlin isn't here tonight because he busted his thigh master. and i said, oh, my god i
11:48 pm
have the president of the united states selling products for me. david: there is a fascination with power. and the facts that most folks in hollywood do tend to be liberal. and they've got a liberal in the white house. that's kind of an exciting feeling for them to have a friend who has power in the white house. >> yes, i think that would be it and also a lot of hollywood actors are broken birds as children, and they want to do good and they want to align themselves. it's been -- you know, for me i'm a capitalist so it's been a little awkward for me because i enjoy -- i like doing well while doing good. david: did you always tend to be conservative or was there something that happened in your career that turned you that way. >> no, i was an avon lady and i sold christmas cards door-to-door and i got the thrill of wow, i
11:49 pm
have a product and i sell it and i take a profit and take a little bit in my business and grow it. i know what you want. david: let me tell you what i'm interested in primarily. there used to be a time when politics tended matter as much as as today. when people on the left and right could be best friends. what happened to those days. >> it's the last six years. i've never been political. the country did well and there's some presidents that you like more than others this has been the most divisive than all the others. and it's become divisive if you're not part of the group, you should probably keep your thoughts to yourself. david: is it this president or is it the times that made us more political. >> you're going to get me in trouble, aren't you? i think it's this administration, yeah.
11:50 pm
i've never felt anything like this before. so i kind of stay to myself and keep my opinions to myself. david: and white your books? >> write my books. i'm trying to help women and men enjoy aging, which i am. david: and this is about the hormonal changes that happen when you get older. >> it starts earlier and earlier which i expanded it to pairy menopause. david: i don't hear it a lot. >> i expanded the demographics because it's stress blunts hormone production, to beingicity so younger and younger women are experiencing menopause 30, 35. more and more women are getting cancer, zero vairn and breast. when i had cancer i was something called estrogen dominant and i
11:51 pm
didn't know what that was. when i looked at pictures i was sort of getting filled up. like, i don't know i was just, like, i looked bigger and i didn't know with that meant. estrogen is carcinogenic. but the other is not. you need to get a blood test early on to see if your ratios are in the right values. if you're not making enough pro jest ron it's a stet up for cancer. all my years in my sixth decade and loving it. i sleep eight hours without drugs. i have a l labradory which is lovely. i have all my hair which is all my own. it's without drugs. i live -- i'm not anti-pharmaceutical, but i'm anti-pharmaceutical if they're unnecessary. david: my wife feels exactly the
11:52 pm
same. >> i do everything as naturally as i can. i sell it all on my website toxic free. so there are 25 million of my books in print on the globe which means women are starving for clarity as to why don't they feel well. this of all my books, is my 25th book is the most comprehensive book on hormones i've ever written. i wanted a book where a woman could say why is my legs so itchy. why do i get migraine head eight weeks. david: we could go on. you'll have to give me that book. my wife wants it. >> you're going to kiss me when you see me next because everything will be so great. david: great to see. thank you so much. while hollywood is back to the president wall street is putting its money on republicans.
11:54 pm
go ahead and put your bag right here. have a nice flight! traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company who knows that the most on-time flights are nothing if we can't get your things there too. it's no wonder more people choose delta
11:55 pm
than any other airline. when folks think about wthey 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.
11:56 pm
david: in tonight's biz blitz wall street betting on republicans. according to the finance reports of the financial sector is up against g.o.p. donations hoping to swing close midterm races back with our all stars. a lot of people in america might think wall street capitalism they've got to be all g.o.p. i know a lot of liberal democrats who work down on wall street, don't you? >> there's a lot of guilt on wall street. people make a lot of money. david: there has been a change. and i think that change has been overregulation. particularly dodd frank to really change the way they think about it. >> constant settlements going after banks billions for this. billions for that. i don't see how that was unexpected. you're paying for higher taxes. that said, i will say
11:57 pm
that i think wall street votes on who they think is going to win because -- they really do. the capital gains low rate that all the hedge funds live off -- david: but is there enough time before the election to make a difference in the election if wall street does begin to open up its bank account to the g.o.p. might that really affect the election. >> yes. but you can -- you know, wall street makes its money on hedging its bets. so they're obviously seeing the trend. tick up two. they want to be in with whoever is in power. david: suzanne somers and i were just talking about how a lot of people in hollywood used to be in favor with obama and now they see the effects of obama's administration. i think there may be some other changes. >> you still have to give them a good reason.
11:58 pm
right now the g.o.p. doesn't have a good reason. all they do is they say we hate them, but what do you got? until they come up with something, all the money in the world won'ting get people off the couch. i will tell you something the democrats are outspending the republicans, but the reason they are, they have the burden of proof. they have to defend bad policies. so everyone is all up in arms saying, well, you guys aren't raising as much as the democrats. no, we're not, but we don't to have defend some of obama's policies. mark zuckerberg and his wife pledging $25 million to the cdc to help fight ebola. you know, the bottom line is a lot of this money is not really spent that well. why wouldn't they try and set up some clinic themselves? >> you have to realize the background in this. zuckerberg's wife is in the medical field. i'm not sure if she had
11:59 pm
some influence on, you know, making a decision to give this 25 million. and i feel like they're probably doing this is because where else do they do it? david: let me give you a where else. why not start a private sector clinic you were giving us details of how the they waste money. >> we have drugs that are getting close, i highly doubt they handed over this check and said goodbye and good riddance. they probably have a seat at this table of where this money is going. david: will this be money well-spent? >> first of all, it's a nickel for facebook's -- i don't want to criticize billionaires how they spend their money. writing checks to charities is only marginally than the government doing stuff. this is facebook they know about where i go with my facebook account than the ebola people. so set up a tech
12:00 am
company. david: that's his answer. that's all the time we have. thanks for watching everybody. sorry we didn't have more time. o mat kennedy: no matter where you goa whether a airplane or a a.staurant everyone's to talk about ebola, people are up to their eyeballs in his tearia,llw who could blame them, it's almost halloween. who benefits from threaten flag, i don't' to get ebola, i don'tia want them to kill my dog, i don't even have a dog, rahmer emanuel taught us you never leto a crisis go to waste. dubt who gets a heavier piggy bank ie we keep hands out hysteria. weee
