neil: well, forget the war on christmas, why is anyone talking about the war on thanksgiving? is it me or did we just completely skip that one? i'm all for ho-ho, but before we give thanksgiving any respect no, no. tonight on cavuto, even a polar vortex can't freeze and governor huckabee on a president politically snowed in and getting the asian freeze and heads are finally rolling on the va so ideas montel worry about them cleaning the wrong mess?

as we unwrap this gift of a show starting now. ♪ ♪ neil: too much though. it's a good thing there's a cold front coming in because santa is already here. doesn't it slay you? get it, slay you? more than two weeks before turkey day, it's hardly a fox news alert to any of you outside that retailers have moved to christmas. you can see it tomorrow thanks to sirius xm you'll be able to to hear it 24/7 because the satellite radio show is launching two radio channels, the earliest it's done so and a week after j.c. penney announced that it's opening it stores earlier than ever. try thanksgiving 5:00 p.m. others are

expected to follow in what's become an earlier and earlier rush to the christmas crush. but all of this at the expense of thanksgiving? nothing i'm saying is new. i hope we appreciate the sweeping nature of what's going on. each holiday has its place and time. is there no pause going on? maybe cindy was right. all of this commercialization is wrong. maybe we're all acting like a bunch of turkeys. you don't like the spending part of it. i don't like the whatever happened to thanksgiving part of it. bottom line, it's happening, what do you think? >> i don't like any part of it. you know, i put on my christmas cowboy shirt today. when i pulled it you out to put it on, i knew it was too soon. neil: larry, i love you today, but every day is a christmas

shirt day to you. but i digress, go ahead, my friend. >> somehow the last thing you hear before you hear ho-ho and merry christmas should not be trick-or-treat. i agree. we lost thanksgiving. however, the reason we've lost thanksgiving unless you're a grocery store, there's no money in thanksgiving. you don't get to dress up, buy presents, you don't get to do any of that stuff. we'll happily as a retailer skip thanksgiving and go straight to christmas. that's a bad thing. neil: i wonder whether we're soaking spending at a bad time. people clearing out their debts are now going to dig deeper? >> that's what this bringing it on so much earlier will do. it will get them excited, and it will get their kids excited, and it will start to get their kids to say, this is what i want. this is what i want. so the parents will go out and go in debt much earlier than they ever would have before. that's a problem. the spending is an

issue. i think what you brought up is a bigger issue, what's it doing to us overall as a society. when i was a few years ago i lived in a neighborhood where there was a woman in the neighborhood who kept her christmas decorations, she kept them up all year long. the lights were up. the drapes were open right there in her living room. you could say her christmas tree. at first it made us mad. then we just didn't care anymore. we stopped noticing. i think that's the problem. first right now it makes us mad, but soon we won't care. neil: does d my aunt betty give you anything? no? larry, thank you. you do make us think. you're a good guy. sometimes you have to step back. right? (?) ♪ neil: that particular song, i never really liked. but anyway, are retails about to be jingle bell rocked.

people expect a deal. retailers could be -- our fox biz all-stars. tracy byrnes. tracy, what do you think? >> i think they could put the whole store on sale. most of us will stop the day before. we're still all last minute shoppers. we're still last minute shoppers at the end of the day. the national retailer federation said people will shop less this year. neil: but they'll spend a little more? >> yes, but they're trying to get that cool factor. it's still a limited amount of funds. neil: i always wonder whether you just rob -- the early buying you do on thanksgiving or black friday. >> you can make that argument. neil: i just did. >> it's hilarious that i thought there's so interesting there's no money to be made in thanksgiving. halloween is a moneymaker for retailers.

neil: children's outfits don't happen with it. let's leave it at that. not cute. >> here's the thing, i thought christmas things out before halloween and i'm sure larry did as well. they know that is where the money making is going to happen. bring it on. i'm on the retailers side on this one. if they can make more money, pull in more revenue, and christmas is happy, it makes us all happy. neil: what do you make of this? >> yeah, the question then becomes, how d you make the sale special. i'm online a lot. i'm getting groupons, living social, deal of the day sales. how do i know the holiday sales are better than the deals i'm getting the rest of the year. are retailers going to be much better off. they have to do this gimmicky tricks all year long. how do they pull it off that it's really a good deal.

that's the tricky part. i like amazon going into the holidays, and i guess the more time they have that they're shoving sells at halloween, maybe that gives them time. >> i think this is brilliant on the retailers part because we need something, we're all about to die from ebola. the elections. there's a lot of -- isis. well, maybe it's us once in a while. come on. neil: you're sold. >> christmas creep thing is going to backfire. any time you put things on sale, it comes back and spits you on the face. neil: you won't buy it unless it is? a lot of people are predisposed to whatever the sale is. >> the government can tell you what happened with cash for clurchgz. don't put things on sale unless you really really want to. neil: i avoid sales. not to be snob. when i see a lot of people hovering, i value my life more than i do saving a little bit more for a product.

having said that, i think online is the way to go. that is a timeless feature that you can do at any hour of any day. i'm okay with that. this is kind of another step that worries me. >> i'll never forget this, last thanksgiving i was with my my grandparents and they wanted to get a kindle at the walmart around them. when i tell you that literally my 88-year-old grandfather was getting pummeled. it was scary. i was fearing for his life. they had total disregard. shop online. be safe. i think people will do that after what i experienced last year. it was scary. >> or, you know what, serve more liquor on thanksgiving then you'll enjoy it more and you won't leave and go shopping. neil: did you really say that? all right, guys eat, drink, pass out, warm and fuzzy holiday sale. thanks guys.

♪ ♪ neil: and now we have a problem with the weather. that's an awful thing. anyway frightful weather leaving snow sweeping in hitting most of the nation. money manager jim says the brutal winter will freeze over an economy that's heating up. whether you're shopping early or not. spell it all out, jim. >> all you have to do is look at the last weather, we had a negative gdp print in the fourth quarter of last year, they blamed it on the weather. i think this year you will see that again. consumers, as you mentioned are doing better. they're making more money. more of them have jobs. energy prices have come down. consumers have a little bit money in their pockets and it's showing up in retail sales which have increased, but this winter can slam the breaks on it. consumers are buying more online and it's probably not going to impact online shopping that much.

but for brick and mortar retailers, it could have a negative impact and for restaurants as well. neil: if we could take a look at the snow again. right outside tracy' tracy's house. it's affecting her shopping mood here. jim, we always here the weather is a big factor and they post bad earnings. really bad. they never credit the sun. if it's a good quarter, they never say wow, it's a sunny day. don't we rob peter to pay paul. it's just briefly they make up for it later on if sales are impacted. >> i think that is the case. that was the case this year. the economy now is in better shape heading into the winter than it was a year ago. it's still not great, but it's better than it was. so, yes, i think you will see retailers make that up to a degree, and the other interesting aspect of this, neil, i think will be how it's

politicized. you wouldn't think the weather could be politicized, but it will be. those on the left will say look at this claimant change and those on the right will say, look, the economy is slowing down, this is time for tax reform. it absolutely will be politicized in this weather season as well. neil: we know that washington moves glacially. okay. guys, thank you very much. always good to see. in the meantime, are voters cooling it in the white house. the president keeps passing the bucket. and it turns out a picture does say 1,000 words. why this photo could be proof that our president proof that our president is no longer the it guy.

obama: the head of the party, it doesn't do, well, i have to take responsibility for it. i think there are times there's no doubt about it where i think we have not been successful in going out there and letting people know what it is that we're trying to do and why this is the right direction. so there is the failure of politics there that we have to improve on. neil: it's my fault kind of. president obama saying this reaction was more a failure of politics than a failure of any of the policies, but mike huckabee said the message wasn't the problem. voters got that loud and clear. he kind of came around to saying, i guess i bear some responsibility of this, but not entirely. what did you make of that? >> i think for christmas, neil, he gets a lump of coal. keeping up with your christmas theme, what you should do is have a song that barack obama got run over by a

reindeer and the reindeer were the voters that were tired of his policies. this nonsense, well, it was just politics. of course, it's just politics. they just didn't vote for him or his policies this time. neil: touche for marrying the theme of this show to this. that's added value. i appreciate that. but, you know what, in all seriousness, the one thing tha that hit me. you're six years into this. if you don't have that part down, hopefully he can learn some stuff on the fly, but generally it's tough to do that at this stage. >> it is. after six years of let's say, medical school, if you still can't hold a skap he will chances are nobody will let you do brain surgery. i'm sorry. but you have to get good at this somewhere before

the sixth year. for a person coming in saying eight years george bush couldn't get it right, you would think this guy would be amazing from the first day in office. but he's been tone deaf, not just to republicans and the public at large, he's been tone deaf to the people in his own party and that's why so many of them are running from him instead of with him during this election year. neil: in that exchange, the one thing i caught that we couldn't include here is this notion that he really doesn't feel the underlying policies are a problem. it's the delivery. if i'm a republican and i'm hearing about this in negotiations and talks of cooperation, it's very clear from this that he doesn't feel that he has to negotiate much because the problem wasn't in the underlying programs, it was in maybe the way he sold them. >> well, if you remember

the movie monty python and the holy grail and when king arthur goes and cuts off a leg -- and the whole time the knight without a leg or arm says you didn't get me. you barely touched me. it was just a flesh wound. that's what we're watching here. this is the man who had both arms and his leg cut off, and he said, oh, it's just a flesh wound. didn't even touch me. neil: you've got it all covered. governor, always good seeing you. thank you very much. cavuto tell me what you think about what you think about who is responsible for what. in the meantime, bob mcdonnell was hired to clean the va. montel on how the montel on how the government is stopping

anything like a private sector. the likes of which we've seen at the va, things would be flying. but for the government, things do not move that quickly, but retired navy, best-selling author montel williams says the government needs to be held accountable and so far, he kind of likes what he's been seeing out of the new va head. good to see you. >> got to tell you i'm that guy that had the big mouth that was screaming and screaming. i said i'll give them 90 days, if they don't do something, i'm coming. i think as much as can be done is being done. everyone can complain about the guy in the job. well, montel i don't deserve a phone call. neil: that is weird. you have a pretty big profile. he didn't call you back. >> it's okay. i think there are some other people out

there -- some people think i'm the guy that's not stable, big mouth, loose target. so, you know, from their perspective, maybe i'm not the guy that needs to be called. there are some people that he thinks he can reach out to that can help him do the job. neil: he's trying to get rid of the deadweight and borderline criminal weight. >> you nailed it when you said borderline criminal. i said not only should these people be fired, but some of them should go to jail. anyone who wrote a memo that allowed people to lie and cheat to the american taxpayer should go to jail. if there's a paper trail -- you know, you can lie about your bonus and i'll give it to you anyway, anyone in that category should go to jail. all the rest should be fired. the secretary is trying to work in the framework that our government allows him to work in to get the job done.

this is pointing out some real serious issues not just with the va, but government employees. we have people who have been there for 40 years. can't get rid of them either. even when half the country said all of them should go, they all got voted in. we have a system that doesn't allow you to fire people. neil: we are overly kind as a people. >> we're kind of strange that way. neil: what do you think happens now. when you talk about the framework maybe it's the whole way the va establishment is set up that's the problem, that no guy can fix that. >> i may be wrong. if he's ready to chop -- i gave the chicken analogy. we got rid of the head and he will chop off all those people that were part of that administration of deseat of lies, of lack of accountability. if he gets rid of 1400

people we're on the verge of setting up a system of not only how to treat our military, but how to treat us all. one of the things he pointed out that is really important that the american people has to listen to, we're complaining all the time about obamacare and va, he said, he had to search around the country looking for doctors and nurses, neil, i think we talked about this once, coming in 2020, you can look at 400 websites that will give you the numbers. we'll be in the united states of america anywhere from 160 to three 150,000 doctors short, and we could be up to 600,000 nurses short. neil: what's cause that go? >> we have had a couple of generations of no education. people thinking they can be a kardashian and everything else, not get a education. we're aging out. we have doctors getting ready to retire -- neil: do you think obamacare has

contributed to it. doctors say, when a neurologist said he wouldn't recommend it for his son because all the sweat and equity you put into it, you won't get that much bang for the buck. >> you can go back ten, 15 years, we started cutting subacid ease to nursing programs in this country. there's no money out there. i have a daughter who just survived cancer, and she wants to get back into nursing school. you ask her peers, they're like no. neil: the apple doesn't fall far from that tree. what do you think of the midterms? >> i find it really kind of crazy that we get to the midterms and we go back to bickering across the line. what we don't remember, look at every poll. i don't care if you were a republican and did a poll for yourself. we all put them back in office. the one point that i think everyone in america can stop for a

second and think about, i brought this once on your show, i'll bring it up every time, 25 percent of our congress were millionaires 25 years ago. right now 80 percent of them are. and when you look at that and you wonder, where is there a the plight of the middle class? why is there a plight for the poor when you have no one representing your demographic how do you get representation? neil: are you optimistic they can get anything done. >> next two years, waste of time. it's unfortunate. neil: we have these big seismic changes, more often than not these days and they don't hold. >> they don't hold. for the first time, we're seeing a seismic change, even the seismic change under bill clinton, there was an effort to get something done. neil: who was your favorite president, recent president? >> wow. i had a problem with all them in some way, but i

guess if i had to really lock it in, i would have to say that between the end of the reagan term and the first part of the clinton term, i think you have to pick those as two of the best in the last years. neil: how do you think this president will go down? >> if we continue down this path of stalemate and nothing gets done, we'll die before we see history writes any value to this presidency. neil: let me ask you, as an african-american, not to be patronizing, but 95 percent of them voted for democrats. again, are you surprised by that? or is that just a lockstep group? >> i am. i am. you know this of me. as a child i was a democrat. in the military, i was a republican. now, i'm an independent. neil, i pick the issue. i study the issue. i come up and join my

opinion and that's what i will vote on. unfortunately we live in a society right now of people who -- you know, everybody wants the quickest easiest fix for everything and don't want to think at all or so on you go with what's bad. it's time for us to remember. the constitution starts with we, the people. we forgot that completely. now it's about we the career politician and, you know, you look at the argument right now even on isis. it's really funny. we're fighting a war every day that if you look at the price tag of this, those 500-pound bombs cost money. we're shooting crews missiles against guys on camels, guys in trucks. really? neil: some of them aren't bad stuff. >> a crews missile for a truck, really? neil: any republicans you like? >> i'm really, really interested in seeing what jeb has to say. neil: what about chris christie. >> i'm interested in what bush. neil: would you tell people to shut up? >> i don't think his

style of politics is necessary in america today. (?) i could care less. i don't believe we need more divisiveness from the top. that tells me you're afraid of what they have tto say. if you're afraid, i'm afraid of you. neil: i thought it was an antifat male whieferlg. >> no. i don't tell people to shut up. let's sit and talk about it. neil: i will kick your hiney young man. >> i want to go back, i've watched even the coverage on this station, nobody said thank you to you for what you've done for tahmooressi. neil: that was you. >> and you i were screaming, and greta -- neil: you're a guy like in my corner and he fights a good fight and everything else. i don't know how do it. >> working on it. neil: you have to come out of your shell, you know what i

your shell, you know what i mean? we'll have more so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. an unprecedented program arting busithat 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

so ally bank really has no hidden fethat's right. accounts? it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

neil: and what is the deal with my urging republicans not to get ahead of themselves and worse get cocky on my fox news shows and particularly these columns i've been writing, my message has been the same, things change. just ask republicans who thought they were dead when the media wrote them off only two years ago or bill clinton who everyone seemed to be writing off stormed into town 20 years ago. all i was saying was, look at history before you start getting hysterical. you're a wet blanket. a big, fat blanket with fake hair. baxter, i think you're a good writer, in these latest columns clueless. i'm chalking it up to your being tired and

maybe sugar deprived. what makes you think history repeats itself in this case? because it always does in almost every case. then gh, i cannot give credence to your entire idea albeit i can say i will rating nonetheless. in actualualty, you're generally yourself not certain of your assertion. in any case, i appreciated looking at it. (?) what? anyway, babylon writes: only you among all your otherwise rational fox colleagues would choose to jump on republicans in their finest hour. have you no shame. babylon, with a name like that, have you especially no sense of history? i've always said on this show and written on this website, not to mention two best-selling books that life is fleeting. things over which we

obsess change very quickly. sure things become not so sure. stuff like that. capeesh? which reminds sarah in new york city, italian numb nuts what makes you think republicans will fall out of favor? because this is the fourth time in ten years a major party has in congress or the white house, there's kind of a pattern to it. kip: what do republicans do? ditch the cheap shots. man too old for a name like kip. tommy, vacationing here, heard you prattle on what happened in states. you're an imbecile. bob, i actually think you made a great point, pointless as it was. what? doug in seattle has another issue with me: neil, what is it with your victoria's secret obsession have you sought counseling.

with yourself. there's a name for that narcissist. i'll look it up for myself to find out if i am or not. love you, neil, usual so funny. i'm on teen fox business. thanks for always being there. finally, anthony, neil, get a new hire style. seriously, you're embarrassing yourself. anthony, this is not the hairstyle i had in the 1980s. this is. got you, didn't i. anyway, next, why so anyway, next, why so sullen

when diet and exercise aren't enough, anyway, next, why so sullen adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. yeah! crestor is not for people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of serious side effects.

are you down with crestor? ask your doctor about crestor. >> regulating the internet, consolidation in the media sector. lots to talk about. he's the ceo of discovery communications tomorrow opening bell 9:00 a.m. eastern. neil: all right. thank you maria. many of them are confident in 2016 they'll win it all back?

you think it can't happen. it's already happened in applicant and in business. think about it. take apple, for example. a year ago it looked like android phones would be eating its lunch. then along came the iphone six. netflix only three years of given up for dead, the online service has redefining entertainment as we know it. my point is: things change fast. just ask bill clinton who was given up for politically dead 20 years ago. this month. the new york jets who could be launching their drive this weekend for the super bowl. okay. that's not happening. that's not. [laughter] the other stuff, the other stuff -- >> you made it funny, neil. neil: that's how i roll. >> i think this is the republicans to lose. if they do nothing over the next two years,

voters will vote them out. we'll keep flip-flopping until we find someone to do something. neil: what if if they send a lot of bills this way without harry reid stopping it in the senate, but it's the president stopping it? >> that might be the bad news part of it for the democrats. if there are bills that have american support, he looks like the bad guy. if i was a democratic leader especially with two years to go in until to the presidential election, they will be saying you need to play ball with the republicans. we may get positive things done in the next couple of years. neil: i'm looking now at some new -- very, you know, alarming news on the health care enrollment numbers. they're very bleak. i'm sure if i'm a democrat and i was not up this year, i'm looking at how that law hurt this year and i'm backing as far away from it as i can. >> you know, the health

care law is obviously a major issue, but i think -- in some way you need to look at that and repealing the whole thing and tearing it down would cost a lot of money. the key for the g.o.p. here moving forward for conservatives is to make the american people understand what they're trying to do and the fact that they're willing to work with both sides. you know, democrats have a really good way of sort of convincing in everyone america or a lot of people in america, mainly minority voters that they're really for the people. there's this elitist thing with the g.o.p. we need to get rid of. touch the average american. make them understand we're working for the good, not to make the rich richer. >> i think we don't like them. simple things we can do. keystone pipeline, get it done. get rid of the medical device tax. keep the list short and simple. neil: in doable chunks. again, i remind all of you whatever we assume

is the case is like a snapshot. one snap, it's shot and it's gone. very, very quickly on the right and left. meanwhile, back to this obama thing, do you think it's impossible to repeal obamacare? with not all that (trader vo) i search. i research. i dig. and dig some more. because, for me, the challenge of the search... is almost as exciting as the thrill of the find. (announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. that's why we rebuilt scottrade elite from the ground up - including a proprietary momentum indicator that makes researching sectors and industries even easier. because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. you can't breathe through your nose, suddenly, you're a mouth breather. a mouth breather! well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. cold medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe

right strip and pow, it opens your nose up to 38% more. so you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do, sleep. add breathe right to your cold medicine shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. and look for the calming scent of new breathe right lavender, in the sleep aisle.

neil: all right. forget about -- how about repeal the health care law? think it's impossible, 28 senators who voted for obamacare are now out of the senate. think about that. north carolina's thom tillis, remember everyone said he had no chance. he's replacing one of them and said the new blood in the senate can repeal it. i was thinking, if you're a democrat who

survived because you weren't up this year and you're looking what happened to your colleagues who ran as far away from this as they could, you're considering junking this altogether. you could build the coalition for repeal, but how likely is that? >> well, it's an uphill climb. the way we have to look at it is how obamacare is going to affect certain states. in north carolina, for example, there will be 470,000 policyholders that will give cancellation notices next we're year. if you look at the jobs being lost that needs to be interpreted into the states that are affected by it. that's how you can point to the problems with obamacare. it's not affordable. it's not fiscally sustainable. and i have to believe that members, whether they're democrat or house members, that they take he'd and repeal if they understand the

affects. neil: they understand what happened to the people who supported this. now we get news that enrollments are way, way off, even the most optimistic estimates on top of the supreme court looking at this tax credit provision that could torpedo this entirely. are republicans just playing this by decision at a time or trying -- will you arrive in washington recruit some of those moderate democrats who might be open to not just tinkering things like the medical device tax, but maybe outright repealing it. >> well, we have to look at that. we have to keep in my mind there were a number of people like me who told their constituents and aye their voters that we would repeal. we have to move to the other options that we can use to eliminate or repeal some of the worst parts of the bill.

neil: i'm wondering with the architect of obamacare and that he kind of knew they were pushing a bill of goods and there were arguments, but that it was for the greater good. do you think that this is, like, shrove explosive and ticks off the people who voted for it. >> they sold the affordable care act on false promises. when you take a look on the ones who enrolled, my guess it will be among the most expensive. they're probably talking about a population that won't be well-served unless we do something to change it. if we go back and look at solutions for the 30 million americans that needed help and get the duo hundred 50 americans who are suffering and will suffer under. they'll pay more and get less. then i think you can win votes. neil: congratulations to your win. best of luck.

least -- >> it's like where's waldo in the picture. >> wear red, so you just pop. >> i don't know, i wouldn't do it. you defer to whatever the culture is, but i would say no.

relatively inexpensive. i like what elon is doing. we as americans get through tragedy and make ourselves stronger. i think this is viable. i think we're going to see a lot of that, and the globalization of the internet and doing it up in space is the way to go. the question is how much and how realistic? i would keep an eye on elon and interested in seeing how it develops. >> just to be clear, this has not been confirmed by musk's potential partner and the regulatory issues of the bill. if they do it, they'll build it in the united states, which is nice. think of the chinese, what are they going to do. >> does iridium ring a bell. they were going to do that. the big call in the 1990s that we would have the satellites circle the earth. >> we're going, vacationing on mars, you watch. not costa rica. mars. >> the wright brothers sold planes to the army and people were killed, but we still fly today. we move forward.
