8:00 pm
uideu thugh the whole process. it'simple.ven e cod do it. whatever, jane fol the confidence youeed. td ameritre. you goth. neil: tonight on cavuto, the chow down after six years of smacking each other down. in a minute, former republican big when i go john alan the white house could be the one eating crow. sheriff joe why he needs a bourbon submit of his own. he's on the front liness% of immigration and something the president could be planning will make things messier. unemployment down. so why are so many americans feeling down. forget everything you heard about the jobs report today. the real read is coming up tonight on the show that breaks it down now. welcome, everybody happy friday. i'm neil.
8:01 pm
certainly when i was at the anchor desk and i suggested that both @ides break bread preferably at a an italian restaurant. >> absolutely. >> grow up, guys. >> all right, noo quite italian restaurant, but the white house because apparentty -- this show moves political mountains. enough about me and my power. back to what they're doing about me and my power. what will come of this opening lunch. george allen thinks my idea was a good one because he sees a lot getting done by republicans regardless. governor, senatoo, alwayssgood to have you. i always think it's good to break bread. i always fear in the end they're just going to break each other's legs. what did you see happening. >> i think it's important to listen to the other side and understand each side.
8:02 pm
i think they do. i think the republicans now that there's a majority in the senate as well as the house, need to act. it was a great election victory, but now it's an opportunity to turbo charge this economy, and i do think there are grounds or aaeas where you can find a common idea of gettiig our country more -- neil: like where? where would that common area be? >> i think thee% leadership in the senate with orrin hatch and paul ryan ii the house, they can get a really good tax reform bill, make our tax ode more fair, simple, and competitive. neil: and one that the president would support? >> the president leads from behind even on legislative matters. if they can get that consense it will get done. trade there can be a consensus. 95 percent of our customers are outside of the united states if we can open up trade in eerope and asia, i think
8:03 pm
democrats and republicans can get together there. the republicans will pass the keystone pipeline. the president won't like it. they'll have to override his veto if he continues to stop -- neil: that's the only one, governor, and you're much mora tuned to these things than i am. but, as you know, i read a prompter for a living, i think that qualifies me. the president will move on keystone and pass it. unnortunately it may be a case of too ittle too late. would you be encouraged byythat if it's a gesture. >> the tar sands oil from alberta and also help in the back an in north dakota and montana. so if it's something finally allows it that's -@been long delayed for political reasons (?) rather than any environmental reasons, fine. everyone can agree if he somehow sees our light on that. neil: think about that. the irony, governor, the crashing with oil and gas prices ww've seen,
8:04 pm
incentive now for these guys to go ahead and drill. go ahead and do all the pricey things required to get this oil. and in a way, it makes you think that the time for keystone or at least the time to take advantage of something like a keystone might have come and gone. >> well, i don't think it's gone. it would be great for our economy if oil prices stayed at 70 or $80 a barrel. look at supply and demand and increasing markets around the world and the uptick in the economy greater demand. all prices will go back up. the area there will bb a lot of disagreement, that is these unelected and unaccountable bureaucracies in washington setting our energy policy. i think the republicans will defund any of thess overreaches by epa and other federal agencies. there's going to be areas, i think of agreement on trade. i think they can come together on a more
8:05 pm
competitive tax system. keystone pipeline whether the president likes it or not will pass and will be overridden if he vettes it. and on obamacare itself which will there will probably be a vote to repeal which he'll veto. there needs to be modifications to that so we're not harming small businesses to hire it. neil: the sprout has taken up one of its key provisions. always great to have you. >> you never digress, you always move forward for freedom. neil: i just foolow the prompter, as you know. the reality is one thing won't reverse six years of this. obama: the republicans in congress chose to shut down the government. >> senate democrats are more worried about losing their majority than the american people. >> the tea party the anarchists of the country. harry reid and the democrats have recited ovvr a do nothing
8:06 pm
senate. reckless, irresponsible, radical what the republicans are trying to do here. neil: i'm rubber you're glue. anyway, is that going to channe, really, with one lunch? communication expert rachel on how to put differences aside and make a deal. always good to have you. i want to look. but at this meeting when they first sat down all of them together at the table, they didn't ook like a warm and friendly, kind of dipllmatic and everything like that. the body language was i'm -- like what time does this end? and harry reid, like, where can i hide? so how do they make for a different resulttfrom what seems to be a cool appearance? >> well, i think the thing they need to realize is that, yes, they have to be zealous addocates for the people they're representing. at the same time in order to have a
8:07 pm
relationship with each other, which is essentially what congress has to do is have a relationship for the betterment of us as a country. they have to learn to communicate and have emby think even if they don't they don't agree with each other. neil: what if they hate each other. @here's enough of that out there, that it's certainly not the kind of relationship that "tip" o'neill and ronald reagan had. now, it could be different times, different strokes for different folks. i underrtand that. but how do you get passed parties who, remember, don'ttlike each other, i mean, personally donnt like each other. >> the personal part is part of the problem. we have politicians who are making personal digs at each other. we have people who are not fighting for tte issues, but they're fighting for whatever their opinion at the moment is. so really realizing that they have to move pass that and set a goal. we all have the same goal essentially at the end for a successful
8:08 pm
country and economy to work together. neil: i don't think they're all in that -- at that tabbe in for theesame type of goal there. so what i've got to quornd is, john kennedy got this. i think ronald reagan got it. each side has to look like they got something. meeting with "tip" after o'neill even though he was running the table against the guy, we have to get something so he remains his dignity, but was very big on not rubbing the guy's nose -@in the dirt. how do these guys do that. >> i'm a lawyer. he we used to mediate things. that's okay. they ended up walking away with a resolution. neil: that's lawyer. >> a lot of politicians are lawyers. they have that background. they can understand you might not get everything you want. but for the betterment of the greater good which is us as the constituents, they need to be able to give and take. neil: what i would stop, we did
8:09 pm
this for a while i think one weekend we were covering sandy and each side was blaming the other and getting nasty and saying names. as soon as as a presser @ould get personal, we would cut it off. we would not cover it. if tte media doesn't feed that, tten we're not -- they'll realizeit a waste of time. >> all they're doing is puffing themselves and up saying i'm taking care of of you. i'm making them look like the bad guy so you feel good about electing me. that's a great idea. neil: anything i can do to help. we appreciate it. investors do think that something constructive will come of this latest arrangement in d.c. but what happens if they're wrong. lizzie mick mcdonald. lizzie, the markets had run up on this, the anticipation of this. what if it doesn't pan out? i know they gridlock, but they also like progress on some of
8:10 pm
these bigger issues. >> they don't like gridlock when it ends in a government shut down. the market did go negative. every time the government shuts down. he says that won't happen. i understand that, but we don't know. we don't know what will happen so, you know, what can you bet on. the markets are the only game in town. maybe they're the room compared to other markets ii the world. i think that's the lace to be right now. neil: if you thinn about it, it was the government shut down that ccmpletely reversed the @ebacle that bill clinton took where he could switch it around you republicans are obstructionist. >> that's right. and looking at this relationship building that they want to have and the meeting that happened today, it's all about building a really solid relationship. neil: they don't have that. >> exactly. so that has t to happen off the cameras. it has to be a priority. a personal priority of these lawmakers to
8:11 pm
actually get something done. we don't see any evidence of that despite the fact the president and mitch mcconnell are all coming forward, we want to engage. it doesn't matter what they say publicly at this point if anything will progress, it has to happen. you know this. you've built a lot of relationships with people out there, t takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get do know someone. neil: i mentioned ronald reagan and "tip" o'neill how they truck that out. both of them realize, all right we'll talk about this with drinks in the private residence they come staggering out. with the understanding each would make press statements to reach to their base. never to get personal and just to realize that, you know, in politics, it's often time a little bit in love with the war. >> sure. in that scenario, you had a willing negotiating partner. you had president reagan willing to negotiate. keystone pipeline is an
8:12 pm
ininstructive example. despite 70 percent of americans approving of the keysttne pipeline. he said there's a system for that. it's not the legislativ legislative -- it's a place he intends to keep it. he's not willing to come to the center. the republicans are extenning an olive branch. neil: a lot of times they say we're extending a hand and actually it's a finger. but, i mean, let's just say a lot depends on -- they have to be sincere about how they do it. it hasn't happened. the president hasn't shown much personal interest in doing this sort of hing. maybe it's not there for hhm and maybe mitch mcconnell maybe the personal feelings and flights, maybe it's not there. >> reagan had a sign i think on his desk, there's no limit where a person can o as long as it gives the other person the credit. neil: he took the credit for th% sign and not the guy who printed that. he was big on that.t.
8:13 pm
>> the thing that's striking is the republicans want do wave election -- we have the democrats talking about the minimum wage underscoring how this eeonomy is. if you're fighting over poverty wages, that should be a gut check reality wake-up call. from day one, you have been saying this, neil, incidence since the financial collapse. we're in a historic break down. it has to be economic growth. it has to be job growth. >> the proposals that mitch mcconnell have put forward are moderate proposals. they're not crazy. fact that there's a two-thirds of congress that could overrule the president's veto. neil: and moderate enough that a @ot of democrats, who might be among those who would be join a coalition, you know. >> we have to remember what kind of president and republican party we're dealing with. it's easy to have a short-term memory. the republicans wanted obama to be a one ttem
8:14 pm
president. that was their mission. they got voted in not because of their pro in fact, it was very difficult. we talked about it on the show, having a message. neil: voters hated the democrats more. >> it's more who was the lesser of two negatives so it's a very complicated situation. >> quickly, the reality check has bounced. let's be real. the keystone pipeline woold create manufacturing jobs. 159,000 oil and gas jobs are created in the united states from that sector. half the jobs were lowering paying, service related restaurant jobs. we have to think that way. >> o wage growth. neil: this is the fourth time we've had a shift in congress under the white house, complete polar -- that tells you something, whatever victory you realize today tends to be short-lived. all right, forget about messing with republicans, if he dare tries an executive order
8:15 pm
to freeze deportation, if the president pulls that stunt, he's messing with someone worse. sheriff joe.
8:16 pm
8:17 pm
8:18 pm
neil: well, they ordered does that mean sheriff joe with it. maricopa sheriff tell it. the president goes ahead with his executive order freezing deportation for upward of a million illegals. he has a biggest mess on his hanns. sheriff is the front lines. sheriff, it looks like he will do it though and go ahead and tempt wrath with republicans and a pain in the butt for you. >> he's been doing ii des moines, iowa, doing
8:19 pm
it secretly. turn them over to the government and -@36 percent keep coming back. so -- neil: explain how the process works. i know a lot of people hearing this -- you and i have talked a lot on this subject, but, in other words, you'll give them to whomever and they won't do anything. >> they keep coming back. last month, two of them came back. seventeen times. so what does that mean? are they let out the back door, which i believe they are. by the way, i met with matt salmon arizona congressman and i want an investigation over all this, and i think we'll get get it. let the truth come out. neil: investigation into the -@rerelease of those you take in and throw them back in your jail? >> yeah, i want to know what's happening to them. are they being deported door.t out the back how is the president going to keep track of
8:20 pm
paperwork or all his policies. they can't even keep track of the criminals that are in jail and get out. so how do you expect green cards, if he's going to issue green cards, i'm sure we'll have some counterfeit. we've gone into 70 businesses, neil, and arrested over 600 people working there with fake id. so this is goinggto be another big thing how to conform and comply if we try to do it with his executive orders. neil: you know, i was trying to understand the wisdom of forcing the issue on the president's part, and the negotiator in me said, well, maybe he will offer a carrot with that stick to republicans and that carrot might be, you go along with me on these deportions or freezing them. i'll call rick perry and get a lot more troops at the border. so you get your enforcement, and i get a way to move this process
8:21 pm
forward with the millions who are here. what do you think about that? >> probably need the troops at the border to come into the interior to rectify any of his policies on deportations and try to keep track of it. as i said he can't keep track of people in jail. neil: if he were to do that with the promise i'll beef up enforcement, x-number of troops at the border, you would have to see it first before signing onto it. right? >> of course. drugs are coming over by the tons across that border. he never talks about the drug trafficking. very interesting. come on. it's a farce, and we'll see what happens the next two years. you're seeing, ttat illegals who cross our border, you pick up, put them in your jail. hand them over to ice. days, months, weeks llter theyyre back in your jail. repeatedly. so that process has not changed.
8:22 pm
>> no. i tell you, if he does this, there's going to be an invitation for everybody to come across thaa border. figuring they'll get away with it anyways. we might as well let in everyone mexico come across, which i'm opposed to. -@i'm being sar casket, sarcast. neil: tell me if you think sheriff joe is right and has a big problem on his hands. many of you have let me know that from prior to joe's appearance. now, maybe this is why the president seems a little cocky. he just revealed the ape up his sleep and it was something that came today.
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
8:25 pm
neil: all right. well, forget 5.8 percent. is the focus really on 70 percent. because president obama may feel better that the unemployment rate dropped to that level today, americans don't see it. in fact, 70 percent of voters telling fox news the economy is not good, it's actually poor.
8:26 pm
kaley, this alone says something. this is the disconnect thh published numbers. that always contributed to the democrats dropping this week. >> yeah, no, i don't think it does. you look at the statistics. 92 million americans not in the labor force. median household income has brought every single year under this presidency. the reality in many people's life, the economy is not getting better. the middle class is pinched by obamacare. and this is something that republicans don't get. they have a real opportuuity to come in and grab the middle class who are hurting most out of the obama neil: what do you think, julie. >> the wage growth was not there. i thought we would see a little uptick. the labor participation rate is still 1970s
8:27 pm
levvl. there are a lot of numbers uuderneath the surface, but it's often helpful for the markets and you do have positive jobs. today we're just about even. the markets overall in the past have responded very ols, that is there. neil: the administration will come out with numbers. the trend continues. you say what? >> no. i mean, they could say that the last five years. the trend has been flatline soggy gross. i'm looking at the numbers again and again. and, you know, the reality is: the common sense reality is 70 percent of the economy is consumer. 60 percent of the spending is by the middle class. we have to acknowledge that. you know, the danger zone the white house and the g.o.p. go in and they say, we're going to do corporate tax reform. what about the small business guy who pays at the income tax rate who is creating the net jobs in this economy? >> i couldn't agree with you more, liz. that's a real problem if -@the republicans go in and do corporate tax reform. paul ryan has put
8:28 pm
forward a plan to chess the child tax credit which would help middle class family. tax cuts for the rich, not a selling message. neil: what if he does both. >> ttat would be great. >> i was watching the election returns with everyone else and the message was: it's nnt just the economy stupid. it's the government, stupid. it takes a government village to crrate, you know, a thriving economy. that just doesn't work. neil: big government overreach. you know, people argue, what's the acceptable middle ground. there was obviously an indictment of that. when we come back, you see me anchoring here right now. you see these candidates who refuse to come on here? who is still around and who is not. the fallout from all these turn downs after this.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
8:31 pm
neil: and what is the deal with so many democrats refusiig to comeeon fox?
8:32 pm
look, i think anyone has the right to decline us, but they want to think twice about the wwsdom of always ignoring us. i want to take a moment -@to talk to all those democrrts who declined to come on fox. who called us tte f word, but maybe now is the time to pay less attention to what party operatives say and more attention to what you want to say because look around, we are still here. and, well, you're not. now, whatever i said, it sure lit a fire in the social media. thhy were all ooer this. my point was and is, maybe we at fox aren't the party. maybe candidates who ignore us are. pl writes: dead on. they're done and you're still getting it done. alex i was stunned to see all those other democrats who were on your show they're all still here and those other cats aren't. that was my only point.
8:33 pm
pamela: what is the upside of coming on fox, cavuto i don't know pamelaa surviving. you refuse to distinguish your fine shows from moss of the fire breathers on fox. you're exceptionally decent. i was not here to judge other shows only to point out my personal experience on my show with democrats who refuse my request to come on. i wasn't saying anything about other shows only they're far from fire breathers they're a hell of a lot fair than any other anchors i see. alain: maybe all those democrats come on because they secretly know you're reallyya liberal commie. well, obviously that's it. or maybe fair and balanced. tom: any objective observer offyour shhw would have to know that you give it to both sides. assi can see it, that gives the nervous
8:34 pm
nellies in both parties an excuse to avoid you. i hope not, tom, i say if you have the courage of your convictions you are generally more than happy to state your case anywhere any time. lizzie writes, you don't fool me for a second. you riiht wing nut. you're a contemptible phony and you're fat. pal writes, cavuto, like the way you use reason to those who unreasonably avoid you. you never yell or scream, you just point it out simple examples anddfacts that were a. a pip to watch. cavuto get a clue no democrat worth his salt will talk to you. then you better talk to bill clinton and countless others who might beg to disser with you. they've all been here.
8:35 pm
hillary clinton supporters, don't get your hopes up. next, i will tell you the one thing hillary doesn't have going for her that these guys do.
8:36 pm
i.
8:37 pm
8:38 pm
kennedy: coming up to "the independents" i'll ask a simple question now what. ron paul gary johnson and others will be here. we'll see you at 9:00. neil: goodbye mr. president, hello governor. i want you to take a look at this. that's a lot of red. right. republicans ow complete control of state legislatures and governorships in 24 states compared to just seven. they overwhelmingly have all the governorships that's important to have both under your control. ashley pratt says this is proof ttat the next president may very well be a current governor
8:39 pm
and may very well call in a lot of those. all right. why is it significant? >> governors are -- you can tell they have to manage a state. it's very important, the job of a governor. and i think if you will look at what happened in the midterm with all the governors won, i worked for the governor of arkansas campaign. i did some national stuff ffr abbott that won for texas. these are quality guys. the reason it's so important, depending on who the nominee is, hopefully it will be a governor or something. they ccn help sway the state. we had someebig wins. we had governors and i think that will be a huge part for 2016 in getting someone elected. neil: good news for all the governors out there who might be considering a run, chris christie comes to mind. scott walker comes to mind. a host of othhrs.
8:40 pm
does that mean if you're a senator, rand paul, you'rr less likely to sort of galvanize or take advantage of this? >> i don't think that's true. i think we've seen rand paul take a strong stance when it comes to matters of policy perform he's popular among young people. we have to look at what these governors have and that's a true and proven record. while there's a lot of gridlock coming in washington, what we're seeing in statesswith conservative governors, ohio, texas, wisconsin, there's a bunch of @thers i could name -- neil: you didn't mention new jersey. >> well, new jersey. you would be able to point to successes. they have lower unemployment rates. they're able to work across -- not in new jersey. cdc is head of the national governor's association he delivered eight out of the nine governorships and more or less saying he was the big reason for that.
8:41 pm
does that mean those other governors many of whom might be contemplating runs of their own feel indebted. >> they can stand separately from governor christie. wisconsin is a prime example here. you have strong businesses. he brought in -- well, governor walker brought in the work t right to work legislation. top ten states for businesses in this country are run by conservative governors. and i think that's important to point out here. what washington can't do and what obama and his washington policies haven't been able to do, conservative governors have been able to transend all that and find solutions to -@problems that plague our country. clearly gridlock in washington is affecting this. but at the same time governors can have a real and proven record in working across party lines..% neil: we know some of the successful presidents in recent memory thht gubernatorial
8:42 pm
spirits didn't work. you almost to have work with the other side and do a little back and forth. is that among the other reasons that you think americans are predisposed to thinking. >> sure. and a lot of people talking about running for 2016 have either been governors or former -@governors. you've got jeb bush, bobby jindal. >> really for some reason i ddn't think he'll run. i've heard that yes and no. i don't know. i just in my gut, i feel he may not do it. and i think we'll have a lot of governors, walker is being talked about. jindal. even our own governor mike huckabee. >> and rick perry a second time is looking like is potential too. neil: well, i noticed that iowa tracking survey that rick perry and rand paul. >> i just don't really believe that poll. >> i think polling is too early now. neil: i agree with that. >> i'm from new
8:43 pm
-@to early polling.sed when you look at states like iowa and new hampshire, currently with the way polls are showing, those are completely in flux for the next ffw months. neil: i mention them anyway because they're fun. republican governors are winning elections despite unions. on why union guys like him are happy. joe.
8:44 pm
8:45 pm
8:46 pm
neil: so the consensus is we'll see a lot more union crack downs. right? because republican governors with hard fought union battles are winning their seats across-the-board particularly in wisconsin where scott walker was reelected after a vicious fight with unions.
8:47 pm
union worker joe ligotti is happy with these results. joe, this could be bad forrunions. why are you happy? >> neil, today for the victory i think for america. i'm happy because, neil, i think that america, you know, the pendulum was swung so far to the left with the workkng people like myself and my wife and other families that are working 40, 50 hours a week anddour paychecks are shrinking smaller and smaller so i think we were tired of waiting for the white house and congress' democratic plans that they keep telling us, hey, we're for the working people. now democrats seem to stand up for people that don't work. i really think we'll have a little balance here and i ttink people voted with their conscience, their family. and they did it secretly so, you know, the unnons
8:48 pm
were definitely big. especially here in massachusetts. my union, this is my personally opinion not of the teamsters, but charlie pulled out in the end. neil: yeah, the democratic candddate for governor and now you have a republican governor. one of the things i notice with a lot of unions, althhugh they tend to vote democratic, there is a separation between the union members and their leaders and that there's some resentment on members and the rank-and-file on how the leaders spent their money and paid their dues. is that true? >> again, neil, i on'' always agree with the politics of my president who is a dear personal friend and i would follow him into a fire. we just happen to disagree in politics. sean o'brien i love him, but we disagree on candidates for governor. neil: what do you do when the union heads are saying any republican head is dead for us
8:49 pm
they're antiunion. how do guys like you or other union -- because it was clearly happening across the country. >> well, i think, neil, you know, this is not the 1930s anymore where people are knocking on your doors with baseball bats. when you're my size, neil, people tend to think twice. seriously, neil, the unions do have a certain influence, but i still think that people are -@independent and clear thinkers and this is still america here, neil. and obbiously, yes, in urban sections if you look town by town and city by city the democrats did have the turnout so the union machine is still working. in some cases that's cool, but i think the working families voted with their pocketbooks and their kitchen table budgets, neil, because, again, the paychecks
8:50 pm
were getting smaller and, you know, we were working more hours, and it's come down to a point where, you know, enough is enough. let's help the people who are working. you keep ccaiming that you are doing that mr. democrat, but you're really not doing that. and that's why we're fed up. neil: you're giving republicans sort of a chance to see what they can do? >> i absolutely -- neil: interesting. all right. >> i really want to see, neil, and, again, i don't agree with obama's politics. i don't. i think if we had a balance houses of congress and a democratic president. it seems -- the stock market seems to agree and what have you, but i really want to see america succeed. i have children. i want to pass along the great american shot that i had, you know, a street kid from boston, and i'm talking to neil cavuto, you know, for six years on fox business. so i want to give my kids a chance, and i think that's what people did. they voted with their conscience and theer
8:51 pm
@ountry. i want to see the republicans work withh% the president and i want to hold the president in check with the entitlements and work more for the working families, but i want to see america succeed above and beyood that. neil: you make more sense in a few minutes than the experts. >> street guy. you need how to pick them. neil: be well. joe ligotti, that sentiment becomes widespread. christopher noelans new movie might be visually stunning, but the message behind it could leave you stunned. interstellar. ge with us.
