tv   Cavuto  FOX Business  February 20, 2015 8:00pm-9:01pm EST

8:00 pm
the internet. really? really unfortunately. e-mail us at loudobbs.com go to our facebook page. thank you for being with us and have a great weekend and good night. stay on the president might not know what to call him, but now isis this might have saved him the trouble. welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto. don't look now, but the muslim extremist are extremely close to calling libya theirs. experts tell me that the issue isn't if they fall crisis but when, given their rapidfire spread throughout the middle east, i'm thinking on the scary ballgames. because they had this and don't southern europeans know it inferior. and i'm telling you just like
8:01 pm
they have been covering the thousands of syrian refugees flooding into europe. you think all of these refugees seeking asylum or might be looking to see something else? we have ilium. so what amazes me is how fast it has deteriorated. >> it is a mass. i was in north africa last weekend and in morocco at her security conference, there were several people who had been flown in from libya who described a scene that is pretty disordered. but i'm not sure that it's on the brink of total disaster. these folks seem to be able to move in and out. but it might be well to put this in context. so this country is a vast area
8:02 pm
that is a thin veneer of population, write up on the coast on the mediterranean but it is a strategic location. something else whatever it was three years ago the push to get into this country and do something lead to better judgment, what are we going to do how are we going to do it pretty logical questions that didn't seem to have good answers at the time and so now we are left with a mass. but a couple of things that might be good to recall is that this business had some antecedents precedents and that includes the long-term rain, he was a member of the western tribes and the entire time he was in power the disaffected part of the population was over in benghazi. so it should not have been a surprise that the anti-qaddafi movement had its strength and beginning over there.
8:03 pm
neil: so who do we align ourselves with? who are the guys that we can rely on? because isis seems to be the only enemy that is organized. >> i'm not sure how well organized they are in this country. there are two coalescing factions, one is the kind of governing quasi- exile in the eastern part of the country the left tripoli do that it was unstable. and then you have this other standup group that was -- i wouldn't claim to be the expert here, but i know that the parties were a key part of this. how much they are inclined to like that with the islamic state or whatever they're going to call themselves, i do not know
8:04 pm
but i would be suspicious of that. in theory and iraq you have a lot of homegrown folks that are the foundation of that organization. neil: we don't have the expertise to sort it out like you do, but we end up seeing them take advantage of this. how much more dangerous are they than just running amok throughout the middle east? >> it would be a bad day if they would have to mess with the whole country, but i'm not so sure that's going to happen. they thrive in this area of unrest and i think that there is a major push to try to get it the officially recognized government to figure out a way to cooperate with those non-islamic state characters to do something. the stakes are pretty high and not only is this a vast
8:05 pm
coastline but it's also very wealthy that the few number of people, i think that this was in the order of 40 billion better. neil: admiral, thank you very much. it's good to see you. fear not. to this point the white house is on the case with another is our in the works. they're just not calling him a terror czar rather something longer and wordier. are you ready for this? how is this for a title on a business card. u.s. counterterrorism special envoy. what happen to james bond? and another individual says this is not. okay, this is how we are dealing with us we can't even get the focus right.
8:06 pm
>> i think that you have been right on everything you have said. the president has called those that are beheading children crucifying children in the name of islam, individuals from various religions practicing a hateful ideology. since he has been in office he has perpetrated this all to the end of these relentlessly committed not to under the words global jihad and terrorism in the same sentence and the result has been countless innocent people have been torturously sacrificed en masse. >> you know, we give this title when we can't really define what they are actually going to do. >> that is the last question, this sort of digital czar from
8:07 pm
what i understand, he has a very difficult job. neil: he might be an interim guy but you are right. >> he has to articulate what the president of the united states does not have the courage to say out loud and that is an impossible job and i'm always astonished that this administration has had the coverage to call out combat veterans as a potential threat. and that includes those that are murdering people across the world, he cannot find this to even articulate who they are. >> can't we just focus on this and invent another office? >> i think it's just the president's way of trying to look busy. this entire summit is a way to somehow divert attention from
8:08 pm
this political expediency or political correctness that seems to get in the way at every turn. the real danger is if he continues to do this and he doesn't do a lot more than he's doing, that's an invitation to this evil to come to our shores. it is vital that we understand that they are considered a state in the entire model is predicated upon being able to gain and hold land and we are going to have to take that back to defeat them and they will not be defeated. right now they hold an oil-rich land mass larger than great britain. neil: congressman, thank you so much. whatever we end up to the congressman's point i he is going to have his work cut out for him.
8:09 pm
and so adding to the growing list of transit supervisors having a devil of a time here, over two the individual that says it is time for a a terrorist registry. so senator can you explain how this would work? >> taking an idea that has been successful in tracking sex offenders and making them published on a registry. the department of criminal justice services will take that information, people who are convicted of a terrorist act or a verifiable act of terrorism in which the federal government or the state government detained you in some capacity for committing that act and then your name goes on a registry in that way we know where you are. if you do not report and if you
8:10 pm
do not register, it's a felony in the state and law enforcement has the ability to go and get to >> there are a lot of guys could be on the registry. what are you going to do about that? >> this is a battle best five on foreign battlefields and so when we come to the united states, we cannot use those tactics. do we have to do is we have to know that these are individuals who have committed offenses against security. neil: what about those that we haven't convicted, you're going to have to talk about this. >> if someone is released from guantánamo bay and they have created an act of terrorism against the u.s. government that is a verifiable act and we have the ability --
8:11 pm
neil: who do you think would be on that list in new york? >> that's the problem. the fbi has said that since 9/11 there have been a million verifiable act of terrorism. so where are those individuals? in new york state we had the lackawanna six. these are u.s. citizens who have now been tried and convicted and then released and are somewhere in western new york. josé padilla gets out in jail seven years away. what's going to happen to these individuals? because obviously we have already had some bipartisan support and new yorkers are common sense and pac manic as we know. and we were disproportionately hit on 9/11 we don't want to go through that again and we need to take whatever actions we can take at the state level to make sure that we are monitoring individuals who commit these acts against our community. >> it is not a bad idea. i hope you make congress with
8:12 pm
it. neil: in the meantime, what happened here? >> we spend more time talking about it as opposed to what we do about it. you know really. if thaksin talk about this, they would have nothing else to talk about. so nobody would be talking about this islamic extremist thing, but we caught this controversy and this is not the first time. >> i'm sure it's just a matter of time before it comes out. everything bad every time. fox news, earthquakes, tornadoes, fox news. this goes way back to the dinosaurs were fox news obama.
8:13 pm
so what is the deal? you can e-mail us or tweet us. what's your response? it could be at the end of the show and would in that make your week and month and life? meanwhile, how do we control the debt? let's just keep working. no pictures of trucks pulling boats. no photos of men working on ranches. just a ram 1500 ecodiesel that gets 156 more miles per tank than the ford f-150 ecoboost. get more facts at ramtrucks.com. i'm type e. i know what my money
8:14 pm
is doing. i rebalanced my portfolio on my phone. you know what else i can do on my phone? place trades get free real time quotes and teleport myself to aruba. i wish.
8:15 pm
8:16 pm
neil: here is a great way to address entitlement spending. keep folks working, delaying and delaying but the white house wants older workers to keep
8:17 pm
going so as not to push the deficit to the brain. that is actually their strategy. keep them until we can keep the spending going. it's obvious what is going on here. you don't have to be warner von braun to see what they are engineering here. and so after all they say they keep paying taxes longer and it's a win-win. is it just me, or is the administration clever with coming up at me ways to get money, not nearly as imaginative when it comes to saving money. the issue isn't the money that we are taking an but it's always, always the spending we are racking up. and the money coming in keeping hiking taxes on the rich but if folks don't realize that you have these higher investment taxes, higher gas taxes to keep
8:18 pm
the funds were going. keep the focus on the money coming in and how many times have i said that's? it is amazing to me that the closest we can get is to conclude that maybe if we keep users going on the job, maybe it will put off the financial armageddon for everyone out. not so, not happening. there's only so much you can put off before investors are wondering what the heck is going on and what now. and that is what will get very scary. only the president doesn't realize it. he's out of money and out of time and doesn't grover norquist know why. so when i saw this and i said surely this is like an early april fools joke it's not. >> it's not a joke and stop calling me shirley. [laughter]
8:19 pm
>> is administration has done nothing to deal with the entitlement challenge and we've known for dozens of years that as we hit medicare social security and fewer young people were entering the workforce, we are going to have a real challenge and that spending of a percentage of the economy is going to jump from 20% to 40% if we don't do anything. so they keep saying that. but they haven't offered any solution. neil: many are working longer so it's a win-win. >> you know, in terms of making the economy work we really need to fix two kinds of entitlement. the means tested entitlement, and we know how to do that we did that with republicans three times, the third time went and
8:20 pm
signed it, we drop the cost by about a nerd. the same thing could happen if we block granted medicated we could save a trillion dollars over a decade by giving states more leeway on how to administer those programs. >> the bottom line is that it would have to be more draconian. and paul ryan is in trouble for just wanting to curtail the growth, to just slow it down yet he was pushing us down and you know the story. so where is the will to address this on the part of anyone? >> the republicans in the house is to paul ryan four times they have passed this which does deal with entitlement, it goes from 20 to 20 again and it solves the runaway growth of
8:21 pm
government. >> a very slight adjustment. the longer that we wait on adjusting that, they are not going to be so slight. >> that's right, we need a president that will sign this budget plan, we have the president and 51 senators, do you want bravery? you have a republican house four times has voted which can always be mischaracterized, we don't have as anything other than what let's raise taxes on the democrat size. >> all of these guys have to be willing to risk losing their jobs knowing that they're doing the right thing and it might not set well with a lot of folks but it's the right thing to do. but i don't see that kind of thing. >> house republicans who voted for times and have been elected twice, this is not the third rail of american politics if you articulated to the american
8:22 pm
people. we are stronger than what you might think. neil: this cannot continue. but we shall see. thank you very much. and so this keeps up. i'm telling you that we are looking at a fiscal ice age.
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
8:25 pm
neil: it is a bit nibley in niagara falls. frozen solid. and so this video taken by one of our producers. it may be brutally cold where you are but guess what is helping you heat up? answers coming up in our business blitz. and the measles.
8:26 pm
are they fighting the superbug? what is to make of this epidemic and such situations? our nurse practitioner is here. what do you think and what is going on? >> what happens is that contaminated medical time it was used to perform procedures on patients at a hospital and ucla until we see seven people infected, and three people have actually died. this is resistant to antibiotics that we typically use it's not effective towards this kind of infection. 50% of people die and this is a really big problem, we have seen outbreaks of this before and it's a dangerous kind of bacteria once on these endoscopes. >> we really don't see this
8:27 pm
spread among the homes and schools. it's really a hospital acquired infection as we see it in people with long-term care facilities and hospitals among what happened is that these devices are intricate, they have small cameras and equipment at the end, they are difficult to clean. bacteria gets in the nooks and crannies and you can't hit them out very easily. so must the manufacturer protocols are followed, they can potentially be used on one patient, kit infected, then transmit that down the line as they are increasingly used on more and more patients. >> people watching are going to say that i'm afraid to go to the hospital as that is where people get sick and they die. you do hear this a lot. how do you disavow them that the hospital is a bad place to end up because you might not get out remark. >> that's the first part of the problem. we saw a similar outbreak were
8:28 pm
the same reason in seattle in 2012 once they are in this special area they undergo more testing and they're not seeing any incidents. so that is what is hospital and ucla needs to do and ideally we need to increase these protocols when it comes to using these medical devices that are very difficult to clean. overall there are about 500,000 of these procedures done every year in the united states about 100 cases of this bacteria as a result. we do need to step up these protocols when it comes to these equipments. neil: i always worry about the doctor doing it as well. [laughter] thank you very much. meanwhile, did any of you see this story on chris christie? it essentially says stick a fork
8:29 pm
in it. more than a year ahead all of this money has gone elsewhere. are you kidding me the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze
8:30 pm
100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.
8:31 pm
8:32 pm
neil: feeling misty for chris christie? the presidential primary stilley gear away and they are kicking the new jersey governor's to the curb. the story, if it's right, try as he might he might have already missed the big money. we are told he supports jeb bush which tells you all he needs to know. are we to my next guest and so
8:33 pm
checking of all of the right labels. is that right reign so this is a remarkable thing. >> first of all, it is great to be with you. money is a big deal and i have to tell you that it is a first indicator of success in the race. and so if the fuel runs low, the vehicle comes to a stop. so we have to look closely at the quarterly returns because it's a little bit like stock being reported at the end of the quarter. if it exceeds expectations you go up and if you fall short the market place is part of this. politics is no different. so everyone is going to look at these quarterly returns to see who exceeded expectations but right now it is the invisible primary. neil: they are betting on the
8:34 pm
smart money and we know what happened. but often times it does protect someone and i'm wondering what that says about chris christie that this train has come and gone? >> it means that he probably has work to do to put points on the board, they will have a couple of opportunities and of course you will have some troubles that will take place likely in iowa. you have the iowa caucus and new hampshire and it's old-fashioned retail politicking. we worked our hearts out took third place which wasn't quite good enough based on market expectations. but if you are down and out and if you know what you're doing and you have a compelling message you can break through without a lot of resources. >> the money that i'm told is by and large committed and that can't be true.
8:35 pm
>> listen, it's way early and there's no question about that. but to say that you put some points on the board, in this case that he doesn't do what is expected you will see some people shuffle around will probably be the go two guy in terms of where people are placing their bets. so you already see how the big givers are and now we are getting down to real performance in the marketplace not just expectations but getting people to turn out to vote and that is going to drive the money in a real way towards the candidate will build the tank or not. then you get new hampshire south carolina, florida, if you don't have a lot of fuel in the tank, there's no way you can perform this and you're out. so the months ahead, particularly the primaries will be extremely telling.
8:36 pm
neil: what you make of these who tend to gravitate to candidates who cannot reach across the aisle and they are people that do that sort of thing because it is seen as a weakness? >> i think you have a lot of the givers and republican politics who say they have lost last two election cycles and they know they have to calculate based on somebody who can get through the primary and also a viable player at the general election level. they're going to pick out certain personalities leaving some of the players behind with not a lot of funding. but all you need is one big funder to be able to do that. neil: you are big on everyone going the on the traditional labels. >> we have the no labels movement which says to republicans and democrats that don't jettison here everyone
8:37 pm
has the worldview and that's fair. but let's get the big things done for this country. we have assembled this on capitol hill and it's the third-largest on capitol hill, the republicans and democrats and now we have the problem solvers and then we have joe lieberman, my cochair and we have almost 80 members on capitol hill. and they say that we are tired of doing small ball stuck. and that includes the big stuff. it is about time and the voters deserve it. neil: no one is going to get everything they want. but we have to get something done. how is your dad? >> he's doing great, he's an optimist and fighter and entrepreneur and i love him because of that.
8:38 pm
thank you for helping to promote his book. neil: i don't know whatever happened to you. [laughter] governor, thank you so much. you know, it is not the number of students with loans that scares me. if the number of them that are saying that i am not paying any of it the road. it can bring out the worst in people. but the m-class scans for danger... ...corrects for lane drifting... ...and if necessary, it
8:39 pm
will even brake all by itself. it is a luxury suv engineered to get you there and back safely. for tomorrow is another fight. the 2015 m-class. see your authorized dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services.
8:40 pm
8:41 pm
neil: what it's worth for $8 billion student loan balance. delinquencies are skyrocketing as young people are getting into debt bigger and more troublesome than ever before. our financial expert says that is going to come back to haunt all of us. >> is affecting the economy. students are graduating college, they are not finding jobs and they are not able to pay their debt back. so it's truly affecting a lot of
8:42 pm
people. >> do they really think i will never be able to pay this back? what is the mindset and what is going on two. >> i cannot speak for everyone but i think that there is a little bit of an unrealistic expectation. they are graduating with massive amounts of student loan debt, expecting to make a ton of money and when they get out it's the real world. and that doesn't always happen. neil: the wrath against her fine generation is that it's all for instant gratification and they want the top job right away. so how is that affecting this hold the liquid seeping? is that part and parcel of the problem? >> i think a lot of them the will is good they graduate in want to pay the bills, but again i'm going to have to work twice as hard as i ever thought i was onto and it's just difficult.
8:43 pm
i think that the map explains it and they don't have the money to pay it. so i always encourage them to get on a plan. a lot of them are wanting to be a part of this and there's a lot that goes into this formula. so live like you're in your 20s and not like you're in your 50s and find a job. neil: what is wrong with being in your 50s? [applause] >> nothing is wrong with it. [laughter] but you're not getting paid unless you're in your 50s. neil: i hear what you are saying and it's all good advice. rachel cruz. meanwhile, a lot of you are freezing, but thank god for tracking you, my friend are a master of diversification. who would have thought three cheese lasagna would go with chocolate cake and ceviche? the same guy who thought that small caps and bond funds would go with a merging markets. it's a masterpiece. thanks. clearly you are type e. you made it phil. welcome home.
8:44 pm
now what's our strategy with the fondue? diversifying your portfolio? e*trade gives you the tools and resources to get it right. are you type e*?
8:45 pm
8:46 pm
8:47 pm
neil: in our business blitz. it is cold out, while temperatures are dropping, the cost warm us up is down. so let's talk about this. we could be a lot worse off. >> certainly there are other factors affecting why the oil prices are down we have created an economy for our country and i think that the people out there are saying oil prices are down we are going to continue to move forward with it. >> it is a testament to the success of this. this is what it created and that is the thing american consumers saving $750 a year. >> meanwhile, 800000
8:48 pm
healthcare.gov customers. many are not happy or surprised. >> many have to amend. we almost could have seen this coming. you knew that they were going to screw this up. and so you get this and you take the information from that form and put it on your tax return. and they messed that up they messed up the numbers and they got the numbers wrong. and so the original calculation is all wrong and they say that
8:49 pm
the supreme court had a bite obamacare is essentially the tax. some of us are going to get penalties. unfortunately still have health care through my parents. >> it is again helping. the lower middle class people he is screwing them yet again because he won't be able to file for the refund. neil: on issue number three. talk about this issue of american sniper. some consider this being able to be part of a blockbuster. and they don't like that because they actually skew towards which return film. >> that's exactly right, taking a look at the message. this is a patriotic southern war hero who is using guns to kill the bad guys. that's about the worst plot you
8:50 pm
can think of. >> it is the highest grossing war movie ever. it is about how gross jesus and mel gibson. neil: why is it suffering possibly for success? >> now they are picking on the poor baby. and the baby wasn't real it if they are poking holes in everything they can -- [talking over each other] >> spongebob is not on the list of. neil: he came down a little too late. but there is a method to some of the madness in a lot of films that you don't see that maybe if you did see you would think twice or now. >> i think what we saw coming out of the mouth of the seth
8:51 pm
rogan and michael moore saying that the snipers are -- what did he say? >> he called them cowards. >> but others like clint eastwood should stand with their heads held high. the conversation going on around the country that wasn't before in these types of movies often do not even get a non-, at least they got a nod. neil: everything goes back to that, it is incredible. interesting. they are looking for two high viewership. >> if we look at movies in general, movies are not grossing as much as they did. you aren't seeing a blockbuster. neil: okay maybe eric holder is
8:52 pm
right. maybe it really is just a fox thing, creating controversy and have it everywhere we go is the way that we roll. and we just need to admit that we haven't been doing this for years, but fox has been doing this since the dawn of time of so you can enjoy that second home sooner. know the right financial planning can help you save for college and retirement. know where you stand with pnc total insight. a new investing and banking experience with personalized guidance and online tools. visit a branch, call or go online today. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers.
