. neil: all right, tonight on "cavuto," maybe we've been focusing on the wrong border. maybe isis knows it. why what happened up there should have us watching everywhere, and why the government could be using ottawa as the latest it's used to spy you on. what it will take to stop monitoring tweets from an sec guy who says it's got to stop now. one candidate in the midterm election, the republican turned independent who could decide which party calls the u.s. senate its own? plus what is worse than the right calling this guy a hack. how about the left calling this guy a loathe. it's getting old. fat chance it's going to stop. what if i told you tonight, it

does. because the show that can single handedly change the national debate in 60 minutes starts now. welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto and maybe the bad guys don't sneak in from the south, they just walk in from the north. don't laugh, ever since yesterday's very scary shooting in canada, friends up there are tightening border everywhere. turns out canada proven very easy access point for bad guys and don't the folks in ottawa know it. now reports the canadians themselves compounded it. over the last year taking away hundreds of passports from suspicious malcontent, many self-proclaimed islamist sympathizers who essentially kept them trapped in their country. wait a minute, don't we do the same thing in this country? similar reports today, we're slow to report the most heinous of illegals, everything from

burglary and armed robbery to rape and murder. it's happening here, happening, there a reason to believe borders everywhere. let's ask some head honchos. i'm surprised at the revelations that the best of interests we try to police this sort of thing but ultimately do not, and now reports both here and in canada, the bad guys are right in our midst and we're not doing anything about it. further, we know about them? >> neil, excellent point, this shouldn't be new information to anyone. if you remember in 2006, the canadians interrupted a major jihadist threat which planned attack on the parliament complex. that was a much more serious threat. it involves plans for truck bombs and the notion that they would take the prime minister hostage and behead them. this has been a threat as long as we in this country have been aware of the islamic jihadists

right here, since 2001 in particular. we've seen the same effects on the canadian side of the border. neil: are we going to have to look at the northern border as well? >> we have been looking at the northern border, neil. it's important to note we have a great cooperation enforcement with canadians and counterintelligence agencies there. we should be concerned about the northern border, the southern borders, the maritime borders. of those on the terrorism watch list, we encounter the most of them still at airports flying into the country. people we're keeping an eye ochl the second place we encounter them the most is on the canadian border. that's a factor of many of canada's population centers which include areas from immigrants from the world that are full of people espousing that type of ideology. maybe those population centers are close to the u.s. border. neil: we know for a fact that canada took a lot of the

questionable guys' passports away including the guy allegedly behind the shooting in canada yesterday. we know as well as this side of the border, in our country of hundreds potentially thousands of risky illegals in this country who have a long criminal record, but we're not too good at deporting. both sides of the border specifically in canada and the united states, we're cooking up our next crisis. >> that is a concern, neil, this latest attack in canada points to another aspect of that. the home-grown extremist threat. this is an individual canadian citizen recent convert to islam, different than someone who immigrated there recently or took advantage of loopholes in the asylum laws, all of those should be concern as well. throughout europe and north america, any country that has a significant population of

people who immigrated from parts of the world who are going through the conflicts has within it the potential to have a small number of them radicalize, and furthermore, some of them are people that are very hard to detect. this individual from the attack yesterday in canada is a classic example of that. lone wolf type of attacker with no prior jihadist activity. though he had a long criminal activity list in his track record. those are hard threats to spot. we've got to keep in contact, much like the canadians did when they witnessed attacks in the country, the fort hood shooting or others, they were saying should we close our borders to the u.s.? are we worried about the jihadist threat coming across our border. the fact is both countries have within them some who have become radicalized, others who have left and received training. neil: and we're oblivious to it. very good points all. thank you very much. >> thank you, neil.

neil: so feeling leery? time for larry on why terror has moved front and center before an election 11 days away. larry, what do you think? how big a deal you think this issue is? go ahead. >> i think it's a very important issue, it plays into one of the fundamentals of the election which is how people view the direction which the country's moving. remember, that basic polling question is the country on the wrong track or seriously off on the wrong track. that's reflected in the president's job approval ratings, 40 or below now certainly in the key states where there are senate races. it causes people to be unsettled. to be worried, to be concerned about the future for themselves and families, of course it plays into the election. neil: who do they take that out on? they are skittish, whether it's ebola, whether it's the economic prospects, less

confidence that the kids have a better life than they did. who does it hurt? >> well, it generally hurts the white house party, in this case democratic. this is a sixth year election, sixth year of eight year administration and we call it the sixth year itch, and there is a big itch to scratch, the voter scratches on election day. this election plays into turnout. the more upset you are, the more likely youtor turn out, and a low turnout electionment presidential elections get 60% of the people to vote. midterm elections, you are lucky if it hits 40%. it matters whether you're seriously concerned about the issues you see in the headlines. neil: while i've got you here, what's the latest sabato forecast on election night? >> you're trying to get me to bet again. neil: yes, i am. >> straight up rejection. neil: this could go anyway. i get the ice cream.

>> i think that the senate is clearly leaning to the republicans. this morning the crystal ball said the forecast is partly cloudy, but with a growing chance of a republican majority. neil: if you had to put the statistical odds, what are they? >> i think they're probably 65, 35, something like that. and the 35 is only for a 50-50 senate. we call it abiden majority senate. vice president biden would break the tie in favor of the democrats. that's there will be a republican majority of some undetermined size, i will not put a number on it because you'll hold me to it and i will have to send you ice cream. neil: you're going to have to send me ice cream right away. very good to see you, professor, much appreciated. >> thanks a lot, neil. neil: could the tech giants save us all? google and facebook were meeting with the likes of david cameron in britain, the prime

minister on ways to monitor extremists and deal with the intentions that larry alluded to. to our fox biz all-stars on if this could stop future attacks. be careful what you wish for, right? >> i think it's interesting that companies are cooperating with the governments, that's generally a good thing. from a company's point of view, they don't want to give too much power to the government. there's the stance because the terrorist organizations as bad as they are in some cases they're not saying anything illegal. so the tech companies are in funny position of wanting to not be associated with terror, not wanting to help the terrorists promote work and recruiting, but at the same time, there's a freedom of speech issue here too, so it's very complicated, a gray area in some respects. neil: mercedes, a lot of the tech guys fold like cheap suits when the government says we need information, and they have to go back to users and say we put up the good fight?

>> right. and the companies are resisting to proactively go forward and be checking what the users are doing, they don't want to go in that direction. google said they have what they call the users that flag down this type of content, but they don't want to be in the business of tracking down the content. twitter has taken a proactive approach where, they close down certain accounts they find the terrorists are associated to. we're not going to win the war against isis on social media. so i think the tech companies have to continue to stand strong and really say, you know, we're not going to allow for the censorship but at the same time protect the user's privacy. neil: the delicate balance goes, right, lizy, incident like this, people say i'll surrender some of my freedom. >> puts them in a tough spot of becoming police informants. they take down the content only

after other people complain. what david cameron in the u.k. is saying is something out there, and i talked to law enforcement it. lone wolves like in the fort hood shooting or the oklahoma beheading or the boston marathon explosion that killed so many people there. they're worried about lone wolves. neil: the lone wolves responding to what? >> i'll explain. lone wolves being recruited over google or youtube or facebook and insighted to do these acts. so the only way they can get at them is if they get e-mail addresses, names and internet protocol addresses. they don't get the information now unless they have a warrant or subpoena. telecoms have been working actively with u.s. government for years in the wiretapping. >> the wordings everything. if it's they, how far do you go? >> how far do you go? social is part of the strategy, i don't think that's going to stop it entirely. i think there's a larger question, though, young adults

are influential, get influenced easily, right. i think we need to ask as a country, as a world, why are young adults getting so easily roped into things like isis, getting so attracted to the organizations? not all young adults are doing that. we're hearing more and more of that men and young women. >> it will cause for concern. >> al qaeda stated deliberate strategy to have lone wolves causing mayhem and killing people in western society. they've had the strategy for more than a decade. >> it's a fear factor. neil: don't say i didn't warn you, the first terror incident hits the fan, government is back to spying on your tweets. what if i told you it already is? you just don't know. after this. hi, are we still on for tomorrow?

tomorrow. quick look at the weather.

nice day, beautiful tomorrow. tomorrow is full of promise. we can come back tomorrrow. and we promise to keep it that way. driven to preserve the environment, csx moves a ton of freight nearly 450 miles on one gallon of fuel. what a day. can't wait til tomorrow. i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me... zero heartburn! prilosec otc. the number 1 doctor-recommended frequent heartburn medicine for 9 straight years. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn.

. neil: last night in live coverage following developments in canada, we told you this is likely to be the fallout. it is. the government north of us and here are getting back into the spying business, but get this, they've been there all along this week pushing for more dough to analyze tweets that might be deemed dangerous. the government says targeting political smears might be outright distortions. sec commissioner says it sounds more like a george orwell novel and doesn't like the way that goes. what is the government doing? they say collecting information, you say not? >> if you look at what the truth the researchers themselves have put on the website, they say the goal of this project is to mitigate the confusion of false and misleading ideas and detect hate speech and social propaganda. that is pointless enough, once the government is involved funding it, it becomes dangerous, it intrudes on the

core constitutional freedom, the freedom of speech. neil: one man's disinformation is another man's hard, reliable data facts supporting an argument. when or how does the government decide what's legit and what's not? >> great question. the national science foundation was the national city that decided to fund the project to the tune of $1 million. on the abstract they use to pitch the nsf, they said explicitly we plan to use truthy to detect political smears, false misleading information and social pollution, that should have sent a red flag up to somebody. neil: and indeed, i looked at that and you know this better than i do, that sounded like a high-tech trojan horse, they're in the town looking around and doesn't like a path that gets to me. >> that's especially true, just two years ago they warned ominously their was a highly

active densely interconnected right wing media using the media to express political views. that's a great thing about the internet and the mod rn age. they viewed it to monitor and potentially to control. neil: you know what i worry about, we have to acknowledge as you have, that the internet is powerful, the media sites are very, very powerful, but it's sort of like the blogs that have become news sources for people. we have to be discerning but sometimes the blogs themselves lead the media to take them at face value. so is there an obligation on anyone's part to partly police some of the nonsense? >> i certainly don't think the government has any role in doing that, especially in an era where we have democratization of political speech, i think it's a good thing even if it's speech i don't particularly like. in the modern age, more and more people entering the public arena.

previous views might have gotten exposure, that's a good thing, we should encourage the spirit of the 21st century to me. the government shouldn't have a role of policing it. neil: thank you very much. very good having. >> you thanks, great to be with you. neil: are you watching out for the government or is it kind of watching you? you can go on twitter and use hashtag cavuto, tell us what you think of all of this. seems liberals love it when i blasted republicans for calling this guy a hack. wonder what they think about the media calling this guy something even worse? tonight a fair and balanced shoutout on cheap shots. (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 and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics.

. neil: i don't know about you, lately we've been witnessing more than our fair chair of cheap shots. when none of us has the time for any of it, whether it's republicans calling the president a political czar we're no less than the "new york daily news" ripping chris christie with a healthy number of fat digs in response to this. >> tired of hearing about the minimum wage, i really am.

i don't think there's a mother or father sitting around a kitchen table in america saying you know what, honey, if our son or daughter could just make a higher minimum wage. my god, all our dreams are realized. is that what parents aspire to for their children? neil: seemed like a nanosecond, the media was all over this. hey, chris, you really think you can feed yourself on 17 grand a year or later the exact story, and i quote here, christie, who knows his way around a kitchen table vetoed a bill that would have given new jersey's workers $1.25 pay hike. that's true, he did. the stuff around the kitchen table, really silly, but increasingly common. the media doing it, politicians doing it. back with the all-stars on fair and balanced debate what you should do. mercedes, that's all i'm saying. get him on the issues, the

personal attacks, stop it. >> the personal attack on his weight. they do that on republicans all the time and the media continues to get away with it. i think it's very unfortunate, i agree we got to stick to the facts here in terms of where his -- christie's positions are on a variety of issues. neil: absolutely. veronica, you want to debate the minimum wage whether it's good or bad, all that, but to do the fat jokes, or to start calling ebola czar, a hack or whatever, you can question the medical ways, there are ways to do it. to demean it and get into names, i don't know. >> stick to the issues, people making jokes about overweight people too get just taken out of control. i think this is not something that people need to be doing. neil: by the way isicalorcally challenged. >> they shouldn't be doing it, shouldn't be socially acceptable to begin with, it's mean, and people in the public

eye for some reason people tend to lose sight of the fact they have feelings. whether it's governor christie or celebrities, because they're a celebrity doesn't mean you can say mean things about them. neil: i'm not trying to be prudish about it, lizzie, can we stick to the big issues that matter. have a heated debate with that? >> this elevates the debate. somebody's personal appearance. i think it demeans themselves to engage in the juvenile behavior. breath taking adolescent. [ laughter ] >> and impenetrably stupid. but the president would agree with what chris christie is saying, you cannot raise families on minimum wage. we have millions of parents raising children on minimum wage which is supposed to be entry level jobs. i was paid $2.16 to stack shelves in the library. i was 16 years old. it warps the debate and the

distortion of the debate. and we need economic growth to get families to support their children, that's what chris christie and the president was talking about. neil: we're going to get a lot of nasty e-mails on this. proof of that later on. but all i'm going to say, i'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say, bounces off me and sticks to you. science shocker, what a leading meteorologist just said that is giving al gore, well, a lot of heat. artup-ny. an unprecedented program that partners businesses with universities across the state. for better access to talent, cutting edge research, and state of the art facilities. and you pay no taxes for ten years. from biotech in brooklyn, to next gen energy in binghamton, to manufacturing in buffalo... startup-ny has new businesses popping up across the state. see how startup-ny can help your business grow at startup.ny.gov

. neil: global warming is not real! that's not me saying that. weather channel co-founder john coleman saying it. i have studied this topic

seriously for years, it has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid. meteorologist joe bastardi agrees, he's been saying this for years. he's predicting a brutal winter that says climate change might be the farce that founder said. what do you make of his remarks? >> complete agreement with john coleman have, been for years, a lot of us in the industry for quite awhile realize you have to looked at past and study the past to have a foundation for the future, and so that's why we get the way we get and get no benefit out of this, except when someone says something and it takes me five seconds to refute it, i can go to a map and say that storm was worse or this period was worse, you tend to look at things a little differently. neil: you know what's interesting about this? we're following up about this, a couple of publications but

generally buried. this guy was a big deal in the climate change movement. they used to call it global warming, then they sort of attached a new marketing it campaign to it calling it climate change, that can cover a lot of things because the climate is changing a lot. what do you make of the movement as it now stands, joe? >> if you put your whole life, neil, into one thing, in everything that you've dreamed of is based on one thing and that is being taken away from you, i think it can be very, very tough for an individual to face that. what i do for a living, i use climate and climatology as a foundation to look at future. every day i'm in a fight with the weather. i'm used to getting beat and having to get back up again, what happens if the only thing in your whole life is saving the planet and having the environment turn out the way you want it, it's very, very -- it would be very tough to face the fact that you're wrong.

neil: also very tough to defy history. i can remember as a kid in college and seeing the cover stories in the major magazines and newspapers about the great freeze to come, going through a series of blizzards and the whole earth would be covered in ice and snow, huddling around fires, that was the consensus, and get ready for it, that was the view of the scientific community, if you defied or dismissed it you're a moron, now we've gone 180 degrees. i don't know who to believe? >> i think you believe ecclesiastes 1:9. you can go through the geological time record and can't see a record between co2 and the global test. neil: exactly. you can't see a linkage between co2. what the hell are you talking about? >> neil, let me ask you this question. why would you want to diminish the extremes of the weather. i'd say my goodness! the weather is getting so bad. come to me, i'll give you the

forecast. why would i want to play down what i do unless i'm sitting here saying hey, it's just not true. neil: you know that's a very good point. i have no idea what it was, but it's a very, very good point. seriously. >> what do i have to gain by diminishing the extremes of the weather? nothing. i love wild weather. neil: sure, who doesn't. joe, thank you very much, my friend. you're the best. meanwhile 11 days out, republicans better look out, democrats aren't only problem. next, the other party that could crash the grand ol' party.

independent candidates, including this next fellow, larry pressler running for the senate in south dakota, former republican, served in the house and the senate, i believe he was the first vietnam war veteran to serve in congress. he joins us right now. senator, very good to have you. >> thank you. neil: i know you addressed this within your state, there are a lot of prominent independents who could tip the scales. you lef the republican party to become an independent, why? >> i run as an independent to try tend to the poisonous disputes between republicans and democrats. the senate rules provide for independence, it may very well be that we will have an independent caucus or indeed if there are four independents, we could essentially name the majority leader or make demands that we have reform in the senate so senators can get votes and up-or-down votes on their amendments. so i feel that the time has come for an independent for more independents in the united

states senate to break the poisonous deadlock we have there now. neil: you are a creature of that, many years in the house or senate, been there done that, you are a part of the problem, you say what? >> yes, i served for 22 years in congress. 18 years in the united states senate. and indeed i was on many occasions part of the problem. i spent 18 years out of senate as a professor, as a businessman and doing a lot of other things, serving on the farmer's board of directors in south dakota and lots of other activities. and during the 18 years a lot of things have changed. a supreme court decision lifting the limits on contributions. so in part -- i remain the same, moderately conservative fiscally conservative person i've always been, i consider myself a moderate and supported by the centrist group, which is

trying to get away from the far right and the far left. neil: all right, are you concerned that republicans argue you're all but handing the rights to the democrat? that you're going to divide the vote as such, if the democrat waltzes in? >> i began this race two years ago, i have an issues oriented campaign. i get up early every morning and campaign. south dakota is a politics state. we believe we can win this race on the issues for south dakota. one of those is to move more towards a balanced budget and take care of the people at home. i would like to see us close the overseas obsolete bases and spend more on education and seniors at home in the country. i do not want to see us get into any more civil wars overseas. i can speak as a combat veteran of vietnam, i was the first

vietnam veteran elected to the united states senate. neil: polls are all over the map, and you're trailing, as a third-party candidate you're not doing that badly at all. i want to ask you, if you were to win, with which side would you vote? >> well, i would caucus with the party that gave me the opportunity to offer votes. also we may have an independent caucus. neil: what does that mean? >> if there are four independents, maybe we'll elect angus king, the majority leader of the united states senate or thad cochran or senator warner of virginia or a moderate. neil: i'm sorry, sir, if it's not that and you had to caucus with the democrats or the republicans, with whom would you lean? >> i would meet with both of them and see which once would give me roll call votes on issues that are important to me, and i would negotiate a bit. if we have a closely divided senate, independents are very much in demand.

we'll have a 48-52 senate or something like that. and may be that the three or four independents there, if we have four, may well ref lugdzize the senate. neil: we will watch closely. larry pressler, thank you very much. we did reach out to the senator's opponents, we have yet to hear back. you are tweeting nonstop on issues, whether independents have a chance to gain more seats in the senate. they are influential and could tip the balance as the former senator pointed out. massive cheating scandal discovered at the university of north carolina. at issue here whether they just got a complete pass, the athletes because they were athletes, oftentimes without showing up for class. the investigator who uncovered it all is next. go ahead and put your bag right here.

. neil: all right, you're a big jock in college, you get a b in class for not even showing up. a massive cheating scandal uncovered in the university of north carolina showing thousands of such athletes were getting automatic a's and b's without ever, ever, ever stepping in the class. a former justice official joins us first in this national tv interview. very good to have you, sir, and appreciate not only you being here but getting to the bottom of this because it feeds a fear that a lot of people have long had that this is going on. what did you uncover? how did you uncover it? >> thanks for having me, neil, appreciate you inviting me. it's been a long saga. eight months of investigation, very intense investigation, we were asked by the chancellor of the university of chapel hill and the president of the university system to turn over ever rock, ask every question,

we did. and i think we got to the bottom of this. put out a report 131 pages that lays out exactly what happened. a scheme that went on for 19 years. office administrator and administrative department didn't have a professor involved, she was the only person involved. she graded the papers and kids got artificially high grades. it was quite a shame for the education of the students who came through unc chapel hill. neil: you would think the chancellor would be aware that would be the finding you come up with, and the investigation would bear that result. and it's a big black eye on the school, isn't it? >> it is a black eye on the school in the sense that this was something that happened here, at one of the finest universities in the country. neil: sure. >> it reflects there was an absence or lack of oversight. they just didn't see the need for strong oversight of each department to make sure this scheme wasn't happening.

neil: ken, this was going on for a long, long time, right? and seemed like others knew about it. and as the investigation unfolded, yeah, yeah, i know, and students were yeah, this guy never showed up for class, et cetera, how did it go on for so long? >> that's the point. it went on for so long because they didn't have a process in place to make sure everybody is doing the right thing. neil: what are they doing now? >> they have systems in place now that would catch this kind of problem. it was a belief that everybody is doing the right thing so we don't need the oversight mechanisms to make sure everyone is doing the right thing. as a result, one person, office administrator decided because she felt sorry for students, she would allow them to cut corners. that mushroomed into a scheme that ended up sheparding 3100 kids through classes. neil: is she still there? >> no, she left in 2009. neil: were higher-ups aware of

what she was up to. >> we looked very hard for that. up to the chancellor, did anybody know there was no faculty manager going on. and the reality is they didn't weren't complicit but by the same token, means they weren't keeping an eye on thing, now they realize they need to do that. neil: any punishments that could be facing unc as a result? >> they asked me to do this because they wanted to get to the bottom of it. my team and i spent the last eight months doing that. we laid the facts out. now up to the ncaa to decide if sanctions are appropriate. i don't know what the process is going to result in. neil: the ncaa would look remiss if it didn't do something, right? >> they're investigating it. we provided all our information to the ncaa investigators, so they have everything that we produced in our report yesterday. neil: in the meantime where, does this all go? if it happened here at this

school, there is reason to believe it's happening at other schools? >> well, over the years, there have been reports, and the ncaa punished schools for having similar kind of schemes to give student athletes easy high grades for not doing much work, and i think so, you know, it does happen elsewhere, this kind of thing happens elsewhere. i think if anything this might end up, this whole episode in the report we issued yesterday might be a warning shot across the schools to step back and make sure this isn't happening on their own campuses. neil: wow, ken, thank you very much for take the time. very much appreciate it. incredible. hidden away, the department of education is making it easier for families with poor credit to get loans. back with our alstars, veronica, you could argue it's going to make the bubble bigger. >> especially if you give it to

people who can't afford it to begin with. you're trying to make things better and easier for people. opportunity for college. i understand, that if the cost of college education is going to leave them worse in the long run, they're going to have a nice experience in college while, there but if they're going to have to pay the debt off for years and years and never get out from under, you're not doing them any favors, could be a big mistake? neil: lizzie? >> elizabeth warren and the administration, it's not government subsidies, they have to do all they can to bail out student loans or make student loans cheaper. didn't we go through a mortgage loan collapse that would deal with subsidies? neil: fannie and freddie are doing all over again, separate issues. >> doing it all over again. are they looking at it wrong? it's the tuition costs going up to cover collegebling like white l's in football stadium. neil: mercedes, where does it go, what you do for them, you

got to do for me, you know how that goes? . >> sure, when you're looking at the average college debt per borrows, $29,000. you have colleges hiking tuition, the fact that family incomes are stagnantor shrinking and the graduates are coming out and with the job market they're make little to no income, back in their parent's basement. the ones that were lobbying hard for this were the historically black colleges and universities. and only 42% of their students are graduating from there leaving with enormous amount of debt and without a bachelor's degree. >> i think the government always means well. i take no sinister motivations to what they do, but they invariably blow our money doing it, you know? >> right, if the defaults happen and a lot of the defaults, there is more defaults happening, not so much recently, but in general a lot of people defaulting on federal

loans. income based repayment plans, people signing up for that. the difference of what they don't pay, the government ends up paying, the taxpayer ends up paying. we pay more. neil: pile it onto the debt. >> you know, the default rate on loans is probably low because there's more forebearance and deferment of payment than ever before. the level of conversation in washington, d.c. is very low, it needs to be elevated to the business model, the hotel empire business model for colleges, gouging middle-class families. neil: it emboldens colleges out of this earth tuitions, it emboldens them to hike up the prices, right? >> facilities plans, the beautiful buildings and the tenured professors, they have a lot of expenses, it would be interesting if a lot of the universities could

re-engineered their business or university model to make it more affordable for students, and part of that is making sure financial aid system is one that is able to help needy students as well as increased pell grants for students. students need to make better choices, too. >> just because the money is available, doesn't mean you need to take the loan. you can't afford the school, go to a cheaper school. neil: there's the concept. disagree to be disagreeable. i suggested it. boy, did you let me have it!

can you start tomorrow? tomorrow we're booked solid. we close on the house tomorrow. tomorrow we go live... it's a day full of promise. and often, that day arrives by train. big day today? even bigger one tomorrow. csx. how tomorrow moves. my motheit's delicious. toffee in the world.

neil: and what's the deal with me telling republicans to shut up? specifically my rant against critics of the president's new ebola czar ron klain is lack of medical experience. i said that really didn't seem to bother

people -- who didn't have any medical experience. i don't recall them calling stewart simon a hack. my point is it is go after the administration on issues that matter not cheap political shots that doesn't. a report by cbs giving inconsistent ebola advice maybe even refusing to shut down all flights from west africa. calling klain a hack, who is really a hack? frankly my opinion, you are the hack. cal in boston. you're the one who should shut up in n, kneel. klain smith in arizona. he's a hack, neil. anyway buzz in texas, as to the ebola czar, i'm paying for him you dummy just like you were for president bush's bird flu czar. don in colorado, what in the hell is your qualification to lecture me or your viewers on

anything. you are a tubby little nerd whose only qualification is you sit on a fake set and read on a prompter. wait a minute. this is a fake set. i find you condescending. where do you get off telling your audience where and how you think. i don't care how you think just that we act like an adult. i love your talking points, you're absolutely right. thelma writes: well, i have my concerns about mr. klain, i agree with you that calling him a hack when he hasn't started his job was beyond the pale. good for you cavuto. now, take your meds it happen comes back to the meds which i had taken when i said this. heather said i have to disagree with you on this one. you're comparing a man who has been the

assistant secretary to health human services who has something who has nothing, but a political fixer. one has experience with the health department and the other has a spinmeister. none has experience that was my only point. both because of their government background knew how to coordinate government agencies. that was it. that was the cease that was needed. it was good then. it was good now i hope. get off your high horse. who gives a crap. if you're tired of hearing the truth. and who gives a crap if you switch the channel right now. anyway brewster writes, neil your stupidity showing again. we don't need another bureau to straighten out this crisis. well, brewster, supposedly the smartest doctors around couldn't straighten this crisis out. so even you should figure that out. those doctors sound like idiots let's see what happens if a few more cases show up in the us

then decide if these questions about this guy were warranted. now, stfu. oh, i see where you're going here. shut the -- good night. >> targeting of preliminary groups. veterans left to die while seeing a doctor. federal prosecutors knowingly withheld evidence. scandals and broken lies. >> when people come to d.c. they never leave. stossel: why don't they leave because some live really well? >> you can see the crown molding when you get to the top. stossel: and here they get to exert power over you. they have privileged parking here at the national airport. that's why i say clean house. vote the bums out. but the bums not only spend our money they rig
