former national intelligence director john negroponte and milwaukee sheriff david clark among our guests. thanks for being with us thank you for joining us, and good night from new york. . neil: if you're a dinosaur how do you prevent going extinct? hook up with another dinosaur and trying to buy time. if anything explains why charter communications would pay north of 55 million dollars for time warner cable it is the word survival. good evening i'm neil cavuto. just as americans are cutting the cable cord and changing the way they watch television. many are streaming the programming they want and only the programming they want. not through cable, through the internet. so what does a combined charter-time warner cable do to address that? so gargantune and so influential that the companies

can somewhat control their destinies as they're desperately trying to control the content of what folks watch. it is a pricey order but as my next guests see it it is more pricey sitting back and watching this entertainment parade go back. charlie gasparino and the "wall street journal"'s james freeman. charlie, what is going on here? they're back to revisiting a big combo. not as big as comcast and time warner cable still big. >> that is one of the best descriptions why two companies merge i've heard in a while. one of the graphs inside a "wall street journal" article. why do companies merge? to cut costs and be competitive. when you have people cutting the cord going straight to the content providers through the internet where you don't have to pay a fee to the cable companies. these cable companies are coming under tremendous price pressure. we should point out this this will get regulatory approval as

the comcast, time warner one. this the journal did a really good job showing the size of the companies. smaller than comcast right now. i think what the justice department antitrust division will say is hey, look i'm not saying i agree in turning the deals down. there's a reason why i don't. what they're saying is look, comcast is the big guy, now they have a major competitor. let this one go through. neil: we'll get into it in more detail. james why as so many particularly young people are cutting that cord? where is the economy, the scale as the guys exert influence? >> it's funny you're talking about whether the dinosaurs can survive the government treats them as monopolies and treats them that way. cable companies have got to consolidate into basically national players, national competition in verizon and at&t

and wireless and wireline. national satellite competitors who have done better on the tv part of the package. you've got netflix which has more subscribers than any cable company delivering video. so he's saying we've got to have scale. got to do national contracts for content that we want from hollywood and this is part of that. >> and the one aspect this intermediation of cable. i don't understand all of this. i'm not a cable my wife is. this poses a huge, huge competitive risk on your side. comcast time warner, it will create the huj company should be allowed to merge? and i agreed with it. the forces they're trying to fight against are overwhelming and impossible to stop. people are going to be able to go without cable and get stuff and you don't need cable to get all the packages and get all the stuff. you will pick and choose. neil: where is the benefit of these guys merging?

they can extract a better deal or leverage to get better deals to prevent the content from wandering? >> what charter is saying, this is going to please regulators i think, we have among the fastest speeds in the cable industry. we are going to bring the technology throughout the time warner systems as well. neil: will they do that with customer service as well? like answer your phone and act like they care? >> that's a question i think you look at malone is behind this deal. there's a history of controversy on that end, but given the -- neil: certainly a history on time warner's end. >> given the speed i think both as a competitive argument and consumer argument and the fact they're not going to be as big as comcast, it will be hard to knock it down. but the fcc put out a statement of tom wheeler saying absence of harm is not sufficient which is amazing, if you think a business can't combine. neil: ten years from now, will we care as much about what

cable companies are doing? >> i don't think we will. cutting the cord aspect business model is not going to come soon enough. i think this is what they're going to do. we have to grow, we have to be cost conscience. we're going to play to what regulators fear the most. they fear monopolies like comcast. the only way to deal with the monopoly like comcast is to have an alternative that is almost as big, that's what they're going to make the case. neil: still have fewer players. >> that's the thing. ten years from now the question is and i don't think this becomes an issue. ten years from now, it's going to be a revolution with the way people get basic content. neil: do you agree with that? >> could be all wireless. this is the edge cable still has and maybe you see it as a longtime cable player having confidence in the industry, that this is still the fastest platform right now and maybe that continues to be the edge.

neil: yeah, yeah charlie and i are concerned with making sure we're the content in any of these devices. we're ubiquitous about it. >> you know i agree. here's what i think is going to happen, people want to watch fox news. people have to watch msnbc. that's the difference. neil: very well put. and only you could get a sly dig in there. totally out of nowhere. >> who wants to watch msnbc. they don't have to watch fox business, they have to watch msnbc. neil: government scrutiny killed the last deal time warner had with comcast. what could make it different? forbes executive editor says the government could be playing favorites here. explain what you mean by that? >> before the time warner merger was under review by the fcc, the definition of high-speed was changed. the requirement increased by

five fold for what they defined as high-speed internet access. so you have the government here playing with definitions what's high-speed internet then deciding well not only does no harm have to be shown but shown some good will become of it. this industry is changing so fast, so rapidly that for the fcc to rule this stuff like it's a monopoly will do the consumer more harm than good. neil: i always thought the case of comcast, that surprised me virtually the entire corporate suite was very close confidants of the obama administration. that was the impression very few anticipated problems here. what happened there versus what you don't think will happen here? >> i think it's almost an arbitrary market share number to certain extent. why is 57% share of broadband considered something that would hurt consumers not 49. that's part of it.

also comcast, for some reason or another neil has a terrible long-term track record when it comes to getting approval. three of the largest 20 mergers that did not go through over the last 20 years were comcast proposed mergers. i'm not sure what problem the robert family has specifically. john malone is an expert of this. look at irony. he started tci one of the first cable companies, built it up in the late 90s. sold it to at&t and at&t sold to comcast. so you know, it shows how fast this industry changes. >> you're right about that. i am wondering if everyone is making a bigga do about dinosaurs, whether this matters. this will be smaller than comcast is today but won't be a lot, lot smaller. have you fewer players in this field and generally the government doesn't like that. >> you are absolutely right. i think the politics of it at

the core in my opinion comes through the obama administration's influence on the fcc about the notion of net neutrality. you shouldn't have to pay more if you take up more of the internet essentially. and i think that to a certain extent is at the heart of this decision and the fear that capitalism should not have the final say in this, that it should be regulated, and that's my concern overregulation scares away investment. nobody is going to put money in if they feel that the government's going to decide the price, but the money for investment has to come from somewhere, and nobody's figured out yet how much is going to come over the top. in other words forgetting about cable. just going to stream. how much is going to come from cable and maybe you have companies like charter merge with content providers. who's to say netflix won't merge with charter five years from now. neil: very good point. you make a lot of them. michael always good seeing you. big banks are sued for not

sounding the alarm before the last meltdown. are they trying to cover hineies now warning about the next potential meltdown? because goldman sachs bank of america and hsbc warning of dire market consequences ahead. dave says big bank fines left them potentially trying to cover their behinds. is there something more going on? you can always be protected if you mention the good argument and the bad argument. simple as that. what do you think? >> i think there's meat to, it neil. looks like we were in this very different economy that we don't know how it works. we all talk about the dow jones industrial average in a post-industrial economy, and to me, we've used this analogy before, you and i talking about this. it is like driving a car in the dark in an ice storm and you've

never driven the car before. if this market starts to skid the economy has changed so fundamentally i don't think anybody knows how that car is going to steer when we hit the icy patch. a goldman economist wrote about the fed being concerned about mismeasurement of the economy. that this information driven economy isn't measured the same way before which i've been writing about in my forbes column for two or three years talking about how the scoreboard is broken. in an environment of that much uncertainty i don't think anyone that says gee, i don't think this is persistent i don't think they have fears of being deadly wrong or accused of being different. neil: uncovering both possibilities. what i find out the hsbc guy was whining about armageddon or close to, it his name is stephen king. is that coincidence? i think not. what do you think of the scary scenario the market had a great run but it's run long in the tooth here, and i think

they point out it need not be a cataclysmic event, it could be a fizzle and get anemic returns that are closer to 2% and hope for 5%. what do you think? >> entirely right. and the point i was bhak not knowing how this market will react to that one thing i don't think anyone can look at this and say there's not a great deal of uncertainty and news risk and geopolitical risk. we have got just in our country taking the rest of the world out of it we have a horrible disagreement about what kind of role the federal government should play in regulating business. we were talking about the cable transaction. we have a giant piece of political risks in 2016 where can you imagine the nation veering this way or that way, and we have the record level stock pricing as if everything is fine. i don't think that's accurate. neil: and you have been warning

us. dave, always a pleasure friend, thank you. >> thanks. >> the nsa is winding down as isis is gearing up. i want you to meet a privacy advocate who couldn't be more delighted and a terrorist watcher who couldn't be more concerned. 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 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer,

that's what i'd like to do.

newton fears we are letting our guard downsa isis is revving up. not so says katherine mangu-ward she says calm down she's not worried he is. general, worried, why? . >> neil we've talked about this before. my 34 years on active duty, never seen more of a challenging international security environment, and if you look at the last month, it's increased in terms of the challenges that we face with isis with the recently with palmyra and syria and ramadi now here closer to home, there's concern both among the fbi the national counterterrorism center and the intelligence community thinking there could be increased threats out there again, this is not to put the american people on eggshells but need to be more vigilant. neil: you don't think the rules in effect prepatriot act, are they? >> we have to keep the existing rules on the table right now.

neil: katherine, what do you say? >> the severity of the threat and the appropriateness of the patriot act, in particular the controversial provisions about the nsa spying are two separate questions. to they isis is scary absolutely true, to say that these solutions to that problem are constitutional or effective is much more controversial i'm skeptical about both. neil: when they said these have at least brought to light or led to incidents in the past not recent incidents where we have caught bad guys. you are not buying it? it's not worth it? >> there's a huge amount of government officials saying just trust us on this. have you chris christie saying no when i was u.s. attorney, that was useful i can't tell you how. there's a lot of that. i'm skeptical. peter bergens report from last year where we found 225 al

qaeda affiliated terrorists virtually none of whom were captured by the metadata collection. neil: general for all the fuss, it's really not helped grab the bad guys? >> i think counter to, that i think it has. i think we've again, since 9/11, the commissioner came out and said we need to be more effective in synchronizing and integrating the national intelligence center and committee the more effective we are in shoring up the details will thwart potential terrorists. neil: where is it beneficial? how is it beneficial to take 120 million verizon customers' phone records and stack them in a database just in case we need it? >> my experience tells me this

data can lend itself towards lending the authorities with -- neil: it didn't lead to tsarnaev? >> not only in the domestic range but the foreign range as well. neil: katherine? >> i don't have personal experience on this, i think there are those on the hill who have a certain amount of confidential information. there's a lot of people who want this program to go forward, give us something put something out there. it can be old. it doesn't have to be fresh. right now i'm not seeing concrete evidence that's enough to convince skeptics that this is working and even if it is working on the very, very limited scale in a couple of cases there's the question of it's fundamental constitutionality which hasn't been bridged. neil: your point is we are sending a signal to isis at a time you fear it gives the impression we're letting our guard down. >> this is the last point in time we need to start letting our guard down. neil: thank you very much you thought gay marriage was the

most anticipated supreme court decision. there is a bigger one coming, after this. >> i'm proud to be an american because we still have the best constitution in the world that can protect our personal freedoms and liberties from the constant encroachment of big government. excellent

looking below the surface, researching a hunch... and making a decision you are type e*. time for a change of menu. research and invest from any website. with e*trade's browser trading. e*trade. opportunity is everywhere.

. neil: all right well ireland may have just approved gay marriage, and for all we know our supreme court could follow suit later this summer. but for most folks's money, the supreme issue that matters is how the highest court rules on those health care subsidies because gay or straight this one stands to very much affect us all and doesn't former presidential candidate massachusetts governor michael dukakis know it. the subsidies are ruled unconstitutional.

all of a sudden we're back, you know to the starting board here, and that could be problematic explain. >> neil, it's even worse we have millions of americans who are finally getting decent affordable health care and presumably will lose it. this is not going back to where we were, and i certainly hope the court makes the right decision. i mean you cannot look at legislative history of this law and come to the conclusion that it should not be effective. neil: all right, obviously the justices are taking up this issue there's enough sentiment that it is not legal. i'm not a lawyer myself, i've watched enough law shows, governor, to qualify. having said that what is the fallout and what you think republicans have to do? the argument i'm getting from a lot of democrats is the onus will be on them to help out the seven or eight million americans who benefit from the subsidies. one idea broached is maybe keep them in effect through 2017. what do you make of that? >> well look the onus is on

all of us. you know, it's about time working americans and families had decent affordable health care and the vast majority are members of working families. i don't care whether you are republican or democrat it seemed to me that making sure that these folks have affordable health care makes sense and frankly while i'm very troubled by this court. the decision of the affordable care in the original case, that it was unconstitutional coercive to require the states as a condition if you are continuing to receive medicaid is preposterous but we got to have that decision. neil: they got to do something for the seven to eight million. you also hear from millions of others who have seen premiums rocket because of the requirements under the health care law right now that everybody be covered for pretty much everything. all well and good, but the

sticker shock is real. even outside this pool of seven or eight million people. do you think this administration, and in general the left was caught offguard by the severity of the increases? . >> what increases? what are we talking about here. neil: premiums that have gone up on average 28%. >> well, that's not true. the vast majority -- looks, health costs are relatively low under the new law. the rate of increase is way below -- neil: i'm talking simple premiums you're mentioning the rate of increase that is delayed effect of a recession right? >> well, some of that is but not all of it. there are very important provisions in the law that kept costs down, but we're not having skyrocketing premium increases in my state, i think we're having them in most states. >> looking at the "wall street journal," the "new york times" talking about those who do not qualify for the subsidies that are the source of the data of

the supreme court, they are paying more. that shouldn't be a surprise if you are going to include preexisting conditions and you are going to cover people across the board. obviously that's going to cost you. i think the reality for the left as well as those who are hoping to mitigate this is how you correct that. so is the real problem not so much what ultimately happens to the 7 or 8 million subsidized health beneficiaries but the rest who are not liking the unpleasant surprises? >> i don't know where the surprises are, neil. all i can tell you premiums are not skyrocketing in my state and i don't think they're skyrocketing in most states. i don't know what the "wall street journal" is saying. neil: i don't want toarth fact, looks like the subsidies go and we have to keep these people insured if republicans offer a scaled back plan that would not cover everything and that the reality might be that we can't cover everything and

it was unrealistic to cover everything. what would you think of that? >> there are lots of ways to cut costs that we aren't trying these days. our health insurance system is the most administratively complicated system in the world. 25 cents of every premium dollar, neil goes for administrative overhead. no other health care system in the world has the overhead costs. neil: haven't we switched overhead, governor. we've gone through a private enterprise overhead to a public government overhead, state exchanges that might be forced to merge or go to the federal exchange to address that overhead or switching overheads? >> i'm talking about the health insurance system in general. you want to save money, get that administrative overhead out of here, and i have plenty of ways to do that. simplify the system take a whole series of administrative actions that could eliminate an enormous amount of waste. 25 cents of every dollar, medicare takes 31/2 cents,

enormous room for savings there. neil: governor, quickly bernie sanders is saying hillary clinton is one of the fat cats and i'm paraphrasing we need a top rate of 90%, we need to go back there. what do you think of that? >> i don't agree with that. i think we need tax system that is fair we should be eliminating a lot of loopholes. you go back to the reagan era when congressman rostkowski and president reagan put together a tax reform package that eliminated a lot of that stuff. there's something about the world that keeps carving loopholes into tax codes. neil: what is a successful top tax rate to michael dukakis? is it 45%? >> i think where we are now is acceptable. i don't agree that there ought to be a differential rate for dividends in capital gains nor did ronald reagan by the way.

i think we're about where we should be and we ought to stick with it. i don't think we ought to be going to 90 or 80 or 70. neil: do you think he's going to push hillary clinton closer to the figure or the left will pusher closer to these? >> no, no no i don't think so. neil: try to answer my question next time. you were very clear on that. governor, a pleasure. thank you very much. >> neil a pleasure thanks for having me. neil: michael dukakis. as the june supreme court rulings roll. in monitoring it live on fox business, 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. eastern time "cavuto coast-to-coast" starting monday on fox business. developments like this that are ongoing, as news is happening, we'll cover it. how do you get the jump? apologize to anyone you might offend. the jurassic takedown of those who might get ticked off after this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

. neil: i heard of apologizing after apologizing before. "avengers" stars jeremy renner and chris stevens getting slammed for comments about scarlett johansson and chris pratt taking precautions that jurassic world star kicking off with a preapology. and i quote -- to actor and singer who says political correctness has gone the out of control and pratt has brilliantly demonstrated. good to see you. >> very great to see you.

>>. we lost the sense of humor about certain things, or the ability to criticize without being exonerated for it or punished for it. case in point there "avengers" film. neil: and they were just joking, they were joking at the time. >> there are some people, and i've been on sets like that too. neil: yeah. >> where things are distorted how you say it that is somebody holding -- when a celebrity has a certain kind of -- i don't say power but a certain stature sometime there are other people that have a resentment toward that. it could be from a kraft service person that you were rude to one day, and not on purpose. there's a certain kind of thing that can spill over. this is hysterical i think. neil: you know what makes you weird in the hollywood world i've had the pleasure of speaking to a number of hollywood celebrities you are in the upper crust.

what i wanted to talk about, robert davi said no, he had no preconditions, that makes you weird. [ laughter ] >> why do so many step into, this robert downey, jr. says don't mention my former alcoholism, he may be right saying that. interviewer brings it up he walks out on the interview. >> interesting. i don't know why, i've met him several times, he's a heck of a nice guy. neil: and handles great questions. >> very intelligent. i think something to that effect look every family has been touched. my own family touched by addiction and alcoholism have had people in the family. and if you communicate to others that you have the similar problem in a certain way that it could help, but whatever personal reason he may have -- . >> i think he takes -- you're the expert but i play one on tv. it takes it off the subject.

this is about promoting my movie. you might want to talk about that. it takes the attention off that and people say davi missed a golden opportunity, right? >> there is that, too. the preconceived notion is you can bring up like for whatever, the premiere of the club life coming out this week. we'll put it in there, you are trained as media people it will be on itunes and video on demand, you'll put your message in the ravioli. if you are having a conversation with people interested in something and not trying to be provocative or nasty. that's a different story. neil: do you get a sense that things are shifting in hollywood because there's the left and the far left and the hillary clinton crowd and those who are gravitating to the elizabeth warrens and the others, you see i'm edging into politics. it's changing this go around and putting a conundrum for

hollywood. >> you know, it's very early to tell how the chess pieces line up. that is so -- the only time i saw really the major movement was with president obama. how he was galvanized early on. neil: you don't seem to care about offending people, not that you go out of your way i get the sense from some of your cohorts that they don't want to look like they're on the wrong side. >> that could -- neil: that's human nature right? >> that's human nature. what happens is have you factions, it's tribal mentality. much like what we're having in the middle east, there is still tribal mentality. neil: have you risen above that though? >> i plow through like an ice breaker. one of these things you just live your life and try to live it as straightforward and direct as you can, and with

whatever values you are brought up with. neil: you don't act like a prima donna clearly. >> i could be -- i have my moments. neil: i find that hard to believe. >> no i have plus my kids can swear i'm in the mafia. neil: you're not? [ laughter ]. >> no. but it's very funny because of the films i've played they think dad, you're in the mafia aren't you? neil: you may it a little too convincingly on. you know what i mean? so good seeing you, one of the few from hollywood, i kid you not no preconditions on any introduce. now we just make stuff up to see what happens. >> see what happens. i want to pitch the club life based on a true story about the night life in new york city, the underworld of that jerry ferrara is in it jessica score. neil: what would you been the underworld night life? >> i tasted some of it.

affordable home ownership policies where we drove the home ownership rate above 70%. it needs to settle back? neil: to what? >> lower probably in the high 50%, 62% range. neil: if that happens, we have more to go, then what? >> if the home ownership rate falls it can't be a good thing. i can handle a point or two drop. every 1% drop in the home ownership rate is one million households that are renting and paying more on a monthly basis and not saving anymore and not building any wealth. that's a cautionary tale. this concept around the reinvestment acts and the goals driven by housing experts has this false narrative that killed the housing market. i think most people in the industry recognize it was deregulation of wall street and the banks where it's kind of like the scene from animal house when they said you messed up, you trusted us.

the government trusted these guys wouldn't do things outside their self-interest. neil: nevertheless wherever we want to look at what caused, that the fallout from that people are leery to buy. >> i don't understand tim why do we feel the need to make homes more affordable? if you can answer that question for me. i understand if the government wants to make sure if there is no asbestos hot and cold water housing is safe, you can rent and own a home, you have a roof over your head. neil: what if the rents are going out of whack? >> that is a different issue. the rents are going out of whack because the laws are to darn stupid. that's another segment for another time. >> i want to be on that segment too. this isn't about fairness, this is about macroeconomic it's situational awareness, this isn't an ideal circumstance that we find ourselves in in terms of helping or subsidizing borrowers to get i homes.
