the senate is expected to start debating the u.s. a freedom act in the next hour or so in washington d.c.. this is a process that will play out over the next couple days. that rare sunday evening session yesterday the senate advanced the freedom act which the house overwhelmingly passed in weeks before. as all of that was happening key provisions of the patriot act were expiring most notably the bulk data collection program of american phone records. rand paul continues to have his way with all of this, the stall tactic the vote on the u.s. a freedom act in the senate may not happen until wednesday. you mentioned the former nsa director-general michael hayden. over the weekend he said this time lapse makes america a more vulnerable to attacks. on fox earlier today if he was

that would be fair but it is not me condemning him. he represents a strong tradition in the republican party and he is a man of earnest conviction. neil: thank you very much, good having you. appreciate that. in the meantime we are talking with general david petraeus about this same issue this growing concern that whatever is they call altogether will be or could be deemed too little too late. keep that in mind as we look at the political fallout from now presidential candidate of democratic side once again blasting banks, the fallout for these markets above and beyond and what it means for the politics as we know it.

12:22 pm
neil: welcome back to "cavuto coast to coast". remember the ignition switch fiasco at general motors? 13 deaths throughout this, it has gone up and up the number of deaths and injuries associated with this faulty ignition switch. the company is saying more like 129 deaths, the death toll is significantly above what was originally forwarded, the country is acknowledging 129 the net is our reporting be that as
12:23 pm
it may this is significantly above can feinberg and was going to orchestrate the deal rumored to be in the vicinity of 1 million to $2 million of each victim's family, his work apparently is not done and the headache for gm are not then either. we need an eye on that. after the rise of what we have been seen in baltimore, the record numbers that very few predicted, connell mcshane on that. >> as we start the month of june, at the end of april, it is historically did day. it is not by any means take all look at this. the final day of the month, worst month for murders in baltimore in 40 years, 43
12:24 pm
homicides, all the way back to the early 70s to find a dead deer month. that was a dreary time for the city of baltimore, american cities in general, 40 plus years ago. in terms of perspective we took a quota of the baltimore sun which gives us some perspective on that. baltimore police officer named peter moskowitz writes a blog that is pretty popular, topping the hood. the points out baltimore's homicide rate at the lower levels but this is the quote from his blog. even if no other people have been murdered in baltimore before may, even if no more people were killed from today until 2016 baltimore still would have an above-average homicide rate, just based on may on the killings in may. in terms of turning things around it is tough to be optimistic because if you look at local officials they have been asked about this and it does not seem like they have an idea what is leading to the spike in the first place
12:25 pm
unidentified in the problem is a problem. neil: thank you very much. this is the one issue that has been dogging governor martin o'malley, the former governor who is now in the race for hillary clinton for the democratic presidential nomination but he has other issues as well. dagen mcdowell on a tax plan that rivals a tax path taken. dagen: can you tax mother nature governor martin o'malley came close to doing that. maryland was hit with 40 tax hikes during a rally at eight years, $8 billion in revenue but real cost to the state and the people there. these are not tax hikes on wealthy folks. there were those two, millionaires' tax which set to expire the corporate income-tax rate was height but almost all of martin o'malley's other tax increases hit higher and lower income people. she raised sales taxes raise cigarette taxes that got people
12:26 pm
with lower income on a percentage of their income much harder. here are more hikes handgun licenses a fishing licenses vehicle title alcoholic beverage sales tax birth and death certificates, and rain tax and flush tax for storm water management just repealed by the new republican governor by the way and o'malley doubled the tax on what was essentially fleshing your toilet to help clean up the chesapeake bay. what happened? people and left, 31,000 residents left maryland between 2007-2010 and from 2011 to 2013 maryland has the third slowest economic growth among states in this country. neil: thank you get reaction to this from ohio governor john kasich on these developments. very good to have you. this issue with taxing and the results you get when you do.
12:27 pm
you are big proponent of walking that sort of stuff. what do you think? >> the numbers speak for themselves. lot of people are leaving maryland you start to see significant number of people leaving california for places like nevada and texas. people can vote with their feet and you have to be very careful that when you are raising taxes you are growing government and then you got to keep feeding the beast. is a cycle the repeat itself over and over again. that is why you have to be so careful. here in ohio we announced last friday a significant investment by and as on. quicker cloud computing in ohio and a fulfillment center in ohio with a thousand jobs. part of the reason is in a strong position targeted tax relief, but we have also cut all
12:28 pm
the taxes in ohio by $3 billion and we went from ohio being dead to ohio being hopeful again and becoming more successful so i think taxes do matter, controlling the level of government matters and that is always tough because when times are bad it seems it is easier. when times are good everybody wants to party. you can't go that way. that is boom and bust. neil: you have been widely touted as you have a record and gravitas to make a run for it. you have 850 republicans right now running for the white house. would you want to be the 851st? i am kind of joking. >> the bottom line is a record and the resume also. we have a case where pardon me. excuse me. we have a situation where i was chairman of the budget committee in washington. they were able to balance the budget and have significant economic growth when we cut
12:29 pm
capital gains taxes. i was also on the armed services committee for 18 years so i have significant foreign policy. neil: you are telling me you are going to run for the presidency. >> i feel compelled to look at it. i am optimistic that we will meet our internal metrics. i you going to have the resources and the organization king to i don't want to waste my time or my family's time or my friends's time. we are with to some looking and making an assessment of what we should do. at the end of the day we will make a decision as to whether we can win. if you can't win don't do it. you wouldn't be starting the show if you didn't sink it would be a success. neil: what about rand paul and all that he has gone? could you support him as your nominee? >> we have a long way. i might support you if you throw your hat in a ring. neil: that is not an answer.
12:30 pm
>> enter a question like that, i will support whoever the republican nominee is. neil: very good. always good having you. thank you very much. we were just letting you know about the deaths to that gm faulty switch kenneth feinberg is doling out the money to see whose claim was legitimate, whose was not. what he makes of that. we want to get his reaction right away and we did. he is next after this. you are looking at two airplane fuel gauges. can you spot the difference?
12:31 pm
no? you can't see that? alright, let's take a look. the one on the right just used 1% less fuel than the one on the left. now, to an airline a 1% difference could save enough fuel to power hundreds of flights around the world. hey, look at that. pyramids. so you see, two things that are exactly the same have never been more different. ge software. get connected. get insights. get optimized. the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... using wellness to keep away illness... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care... by connecting every single part of it. for as the world keeps on searching for healthier... we're here to make healthier happen. optum. healthier is here.
12:32 pm
12:33 pm
12:34 pm
neil: all right. welcome back, everybody. nor developments at gm. those defective gm ignition switches now responsible for 109 deaths. that substantiallily from the beginning. we'll going to reach out to ken feinberg thefy in charge of that compensation fund what he makes of latest figures and developments. ken, what do you now? >> we continue between now and most likely end of next month to finish through the task of going through all the claims that have been filed over 4,000 of them and we'll reach final determinations on deaths and injuries. neil: can you give a rough figure? is every case a million dollar range, more? this could, as we discussed when you first began this job, end up costing gm quite a bit of money. they told you ken, you have free rein and open checkbook, something to that effect. do you still? >> you have to check with gm on
12:35 pm
the money but i can rest assured they have the money to pay for these claims. the deaths and injury claims i believe are within the range that gm projected and, zoo far at least everybody who has been declared eligible and met the requirements have been paid. neil: how do these numbers keep going high every and higher, ken? when we all started a dozen, couple dozen, no more and got bigger and bigger? some either didn't appreciate the gravity of this not you but someone might have in extreme case lied, what happened? >> no, i don't think that is the case. gm found through direct evidence found by engineers that the switch was the cause of the, of the death in the accident, direct evidence. our standard in this program, as you know, neil i've been on a couple of times, is much more legal & general russ.
12:36 pm
does the evidence show proximate cause that it was the switch without regard to contributory negligence speeding or drunk driving or anything like that? so the standard that i've used in evaluating individual claims is much more generous than the standard that gm applied when it was trying to definitely demonstrate a link between the switch and the death. two different standards. i don't think you can, i don't think you can criticize gm. neil: all right. but are either or both of those standards potentially going to bankrupt this company? because what was thought to be maybe a multi-hundred million dollar obligation could easily go into the billions? >> no, it couldn't, not under this program. neil: really? >> clearly we're near the end of the program. the program will processed almost all 4500 claims by the end of july. clearly although there have been substantial number of deaths and
12:37 pm
physical injuries, the vast number of claims that have been submitted to this program are ineligible wrong automobiles. no proof. neil: could you see more than this 109? >> oh, i think we'll see a few more. neil: just a few more? you don't see it significantly? >> no. not between now and end of next month. i don't. i think we'll have gone through the entire inventory. i think gm is fully capable of compensating all eligible claimants. i think they set aside reserves to do so. you have to ask them how much. i think overall this program will efficiently and effect at thisly bring an end to those able to submit claims. neil: ken feinberg, thank you very, very much. for those just tuning in, this is part and parcel what this show will be about. it is about breaking news and about topics that transcend business and general news. in this case a major automaker is saying that 109 people directly died or whose deaths were directly attributable to a
12:38 pm
faulty switch. part of this show's motif, if you will to respond to news. will be on any news. we do not have script or prearranged segments that are sort of a gimmick. we follow the news of the moment, the news of the day, but when the markets are big we're on them. they are right now so we're not. we're looking at some of the crosscurrents like we had in gm and we have with politics with the railing against big money and big corporations. now in the case of martin o'malley campaigning for the presidency of the united states, on fat cats. which i think includes this very thin fat cat, paul mitchell. cofounder of john paul today juror yo. always good to have you? >> a pleasure. neil: with o'malley camp, or bernie sanders with the hope of driving hillary clinton further left, brokerage houses, banks successful guys like yourself are gunning the system and you have to be reined in. what do you think?
12:39 pm
>> i think nothing could be further from the truth. there may be some people like that but very, very few that give the rest of us a bad name. what helps the system to works take everybody from orphans to being middle class again. take rok mobile, lawn muching eight months ago we signed a deal with the national basketball association to work together to raise money together to open up orphanages throughout the united states. a lot of people are not aware there are not enough orphanages to give kids an education to get better job. we're building houses to have a middle class for new orleans. we're starting classes of education at paul mitchell to give people's books. here is what people forget, in the '50s '60s, and 7's we had a big middle class e it went down. one of the changes i had in high school we had auto shop, wood shop, electric shop. all these shops we had. if you walked out of the house
12:40 pm
school you didn't go to college, we had a great middle class. they started pulling trades out of high school. neil: we don't make things anymore. >> we don't make things anymore. there are lots of jobs like auto mechanics. no one can fill the jobs. neil: president or surrogates or new democratic candidates bemoaning the fat cats wall streeters the bankers, the billionaires like yourself somehow the system is rigged? does that bother you at a core? >> it really bothers me a lot. not on the other hand, most wealthiest billionaires members of giving pledge. gave half their wealth to rebuild our nation and world into better place to live. they don't talk about that. that. >>s me. neil: talk about the narrowing the gap between rich and poor during the obama years, gotten wider through every president republican or democrat, what is the best way to correct it? they say slap higher taxes on you to narrow that rate or gap? >> i think that is ridiculous because what we do as a whole we
12:41 pm
give back. we have centers going on, mobile loaves and fishes. we take 250 families out of work that are homeless. give them a place to live around teach them how to have a job. in other words when you start putting one against the other -- why do politicians do this? they feel that those get out and vote i guess they did for the obama administration was on government subsidies one form or another. they don't want that to change. but american is the land of belief and dreams. why say you don't want to be one of the 1% or 5%s you want to be middle or below it takes away american dream. neil: who has that case better, john paul? among the candidates who do you like? >> right now, nobody. i have four friends running for president. i'm sitting back right now and watching. i haven't picked one -- neil: you have four friends? you know four people who are your friends running for the highest office in the land. >> all nice people. but i want to wait until after the primary. neil: who do you want to hate
12:42 pm
the most? >> i can't quite say that. i don't know yet. important thing wait until the primaries. not on what they say what they will do. i will make announcement at republican and democratic convention. i go to both. neil: you're a good man and patriot. john paul dejoria walks that talk. biggest breaking news today olive garden, bread sticks sandwiches. hello. coincidence this happens the same day of my show debuts lauren simonetti at an olive garden. i think not, lauren. >> oh, neil from one italian to another, first of all, you're making me wait here in the rain holding these wonderful bread stick sandwiches, now, today, for the first time at olive garden. what we have here weighing in at 510-calories is the chicken par ma shaun sandwich.
12:43 pm
weighing at 900 calories the meatball parmigana sandwich. as you see the breadstick sandwich is shorter and wider than this traditional bread stick. this is what it is all about at olive garden, the iconic bread stick. they had a lot to say about olive garden and darden restaurants, sales down for year after year after year. how do you get sales back up? give people what they want. give them enough bread sticks and do really cool things with the bread sticks like breakfast sandwiches. starting in august there will be a bread stick cristini. maybe it has your name on it. can i eat now. neil: you're thin and fit. we looked at these. provided these before the show. hello, it is very cold. what do you think? they're a little thicker than i thought. take a look at this guys. a little cold now. i don't know. i hope they go well. coincidence. you decide.
12:44 pm
meantime i told you everything is breaking news including anything edible. we have the nhl commissioner here, gary bettman. the rangers are not in this thing. i really don't care. no offense to gary. i will talk to him anyway. stanly cup playoffs are now. finals are now. rangers are not in it, why do we care? we should because we're all americans after this. ♪ 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
12:45 pm
100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.
12:46 pm
12:47 pm
neil: all right. the stanley cup finals, that's hockey will be a big deal because they kick off on wednesday without the new york rangers. i don't even know why i'm proceeding with this interview. because i like my next guest the nhl commissioner gary bettman. he said if you had any doubts about it hockey is back. the ratings for the playoffs were certainly very strong. do you root for certain team, knowing if you have a new york market team in there, l.a. team,
12:48 pm
you know the drill that is something better for the sport? >> people in the media suggest that i do but we don't. we pride ourselves having great competitive balance no matter what team you're a fan of when the season starts. you have hope that your team can make the playoffs. once the playoffs start anything can happen. if i have one rooting interest make sure the officials do a good job. neil: what you do look at these games and everyone else, seems the hockey playoffs don't last nearly as long as basketball playoffs which go on two to three years. why is that? obviously you guys must know, people do have attention span? >> well we try, it takes, it can take two months but we try to move it along. we try to play every other night. and we stick to that for the most part. but you know we play in multi-purpose facilities and as a result, sometimes they're not available. for example, garth brooks wound up canceling his concert in tampa this coming weekend. we're grateful to him for his
12:49 pm
understanding. he and his wife are class act but you know sometimes it creates difficult situations. but as, we get ready to drop the puck on wednesday night, we couldn't be more excited and we're going to move it right along. neil: your sport like football, like others, the talk about concussions brain injury, banging around like your athletes endure through a career has anything to do with the disproportionate number of, well, concussions in general experienced? you said the data isn't there to support that. do you he still believe that? >> well, actually, i know that there was a lot of response to what i said in a media scrum last week. the fact is, if you read the judge brodie's decision in the nfl case approving the settlement and it is 132-page decision, so i'm sure a lot of peoplep haven't read it but interest are three or four pages the judge basically says, namely
12:50 pm
what i said, the evidence isn't there to support the cause and effect from a medical or scientific standpoint. neil: reason why i raise it, others say it was no so black and white. an attorney for steve matador who passed away stunning response, sort about you, for the commissioner of a contact sport to make such a claim. what do you say about that? >> you know, they have threatened to bring litigation. there is litigation pending. this isn't the forum to debate that. neil: right. >> if they believe there is a cause and effect they will have to prove it in court. neil: do you think this is multisport problem though? if it is sound in football case nfl set aside funds for guys who suffered concussions as a result this grows to include most of other sports, hockey among them? >> hockey is the not same as football. neil: right. >> and i'm not going to comment on the nfl's track record or what they may have done or not done but in our case with respect to being responsible and appropriate in terms of focusing on the concussion issue i think
12:51 pm
our track record has been both strong and in leadership position. we put together a group with the players back in 1997. we were the first sports league to do that and study it. we were the first sports league to have baseline testing protocols for diagnosis and return to play decisions a whole host of things we've done to try to look at the entire issue. neil: baseline testing is to see the state of the brain and functions and whether concussions developed? >> impairment and whether or not return to play is appropriate. neil: black hawks lightning, who wins? >> i have no idea but i do think it will be an exciting series. you look at the path that both teams took. neil: i will rub that in. >> rangers had a terrific season. neil: look at the time. we have to go. seriously, thank you very much for joining us. we very much appreciate it. meanwhile, how dangerous dangerous is vladmir putin? we have gary kasparov joining
12:52 pm
us. quickly in washington right now. they're trying to cobble together something to save the patriot act, all but torpedoed at least its toughest provisions that conservatives say protect our safety. the devil is in the details, how it comes up something that still does that to satisfy libertarians. more after this.

12:55 pm
neil: all right. well this is the beauty of doing a live, unscripted two-hour show that marries main street and wall street. you never know what you folks at home are going to react to. i was pointing to washington and everyone trying to decide where we go on the nsa thing patriot act. they're trying to cobble together. separately we had the gm situation. we had ken feinberg we called up after new developments. injury death count is greater than we thought.
12:56 pm
mr. feinberg telling us live in response to the breaking news, not to worry. gm will be just fine and those victims families will be properly compensated. another development, pure coincidence maybe, olive garden debuting these new sandwiches the new bread stick sandwiches. what do you think garnered the most email around tweets? the bread stick sandwiches. nat the floor director has been sampling it. he has been updating. you gave it? it is not bad. >> cold but good. neil: they were hot two hours ago, nat. they were hot two hours ago. sometimes doing a show that doesn't rely on a script or structure can be dangerous but i would much prefer that. i think you would too than the old rope thing. we're focus on markets as all other business shows are too. we'll only go when they mean something. right now, if they get to be a big deal we'll spend a lot of time. right now rethink the olive garden sandwich as a bigger deal
12:57 pm
for now. that could change. after all, we pot got olive garden sandwich for free. not that i'm getting any of it. we have lot -- neil, we can't say we got them for free. we almost got them for free. more after this.
12:58 pm
right now, the unthinkable is happening. faithful christians are being kidnapped, tourtured, beheaded and crucified simply because they are christians. this is genocide and it won't stop unless we do something about it. at the aclj, we are the frontlines in washington at the un, and in the region advocating for those who cannot defend themselves. but we cannot do it alone, we need your support and we need it now. go to aclj.org right now and help us fight to restore christians to their homes and families. the aclj has the global resources to engage the decision makers fight against persecution, and protect the faithful christians in these regions. with every passing minute the threat against christians grows and intensifies. we need your help to get our leaders to understand
12:59 pm
that christians overseas are under attack and need our help. you can help the aclj stop the senseless and evil persecution. call the number on your screen or go to aclj.org
1:00 pm
neil: all right, i want to pass along two very quick developments on takata the airbag maker. they had to recall millions of airbags that affect virtually automaker. they will no longer use a volatile chemical that might or might not have something to do with these things exploding or not. not doing what they're supposed to do. we'll keep an eye on that. u.s. house speaker dennis hastert will be officially arraigned in federal court in chicago on thursday. that is on thursday. all the developments coming as the charges that the former house speaker was paying off someone. it got the fed's attention when it got into the millions of
1:01 pm
dollars and withdrawals piqued their interest. a lot of free marketeers have been saying that was unfair to finger him on that. the formal arraignment and particulars slated for thursday. meanwhile developments half across the globe and one vladmir putin. fears right now that, well he could exert his control over the baltic states and the baltic states would have nothing to say about it. in fact that they would fall within a couple of days if he wanted to just run them over. gary kasparov not at all surprised. he joins us right now. what do you make of that? >> i think the most troubling thing we're discussing this now openly and the warning came from the czech general. the czechs had putin's nasty history of seeing russian tanks run all over their country. taking over the baltic states, latvia, estonia would be big military problem. that they are a meager defenses. the problem it is equal the
1:02 pm
declaration of war, nato all three companies are members of the nato. neil: is this assuming none of these countries that the nato countries would respond and fall that quickly? >> that is the most interesting thing. we're moving from military issues to political issues. the fact that eastern europeans are so so much concerned about this threat, is not because they suddenly discovered that putin is there. of course crimea, annexation of crimea, putin's annexation of ukraine but -- neil: you say only a matter of time? >> no, ukraine is not baltics. they have people but the eastern europeans are worried by the lack of response from major nato members especially the united states. so, putin made enough statements. he did a lot of bad things. the response from the united states? that's too mild, if we want to be diplomatic but eastern
1:03 pm
europeans are really scared. >> what is reading into the reaction to all these developments? that we're not serious about it? >> obama was in estonia about a year-and-a-half ago and he made a pretty strong statement actually, yes, last september. made pretty strong statement about america's commitment. but, putin doesn't care what obama says. putin looks what obama does and doesn't do. a big statement in syria infamous red line. what happened then? nothing. so in putin's eyes obama demonstrated time and again american weakness or lack of political will, which in putin's ice is eyes is the same. europe doesn't care very much. neil: do any of the republican candidates worry him make him pause? >> not just democrats and republicans. it is specifically about obama. he knows as long as obama is in office he has time left to accomplish what he wants to
1:04 pm
accomplish. neil: if you're right, he will -- >> 598 days. not only -- neil: not that you're counting. >> i'm counting. neil: do you think he is a lot more aggressive in these days? >> absolutely. not only him. you have the iranians and isis all sections of the world. you understand that the present debates on both sides of the aisle, political aisle, will be hawkish on foreign politics. i can't imagine democrats win the nomination will not run with obama -- neil: you think rand paul wants to protect privacy rights in the face of this. >> okay. you know, i think rand paul's statements, might be controversial, he talks about isolation but at the same time he wants to have free trade, open markets. it is globalized world. you can't protect your interests if you are retreating from every hot spot on the map. neil: you think he would challenge putin? >> look, i don't think he will be elected.
1:05 pm
i believe that gop voters will recognize that this kind of policy in the 209th century it is ridiculous. neil: gary kasparov, thank you very, very much and for your patience. we had a lot of breaking news. he stuck around. mine while lindsey graham is in a very crowded field, nine right now if you include the former irs commissioner. we have florida governor rick scott who will host a good many of these guys. only governor scott, fine state of florida could bet who's who of republican presidential wannabes to gather in orlando tomorrow. we'll be there with the governor and with all of these guys as they descend to talk economic issues and only economic issues in the sunshine state. governor, good to have you. how did you first of all governor, get them all to come or at least the big guys? >> well i have built relationships with them. a lot of them campaigned for me for my re-election last year. i told them that i would like i asked them if they would come to talk about the economy.
1:06 pm
they have watched what we've done in florida cut taxes reduced regulation and added 865,000 jobs. so it is going to be, it is going to be a lot of fun. we'll probably hear from the next president tomorrow. they will talk about what they will do to turn the economy around. i look forward to seeing you tomorrow. it will be fun. neil: i don't believe chris christie is coming or is he? >> he is. neil: okay. >> governor perry, governor jindal, governor walker governor walker, governor bush -- neil: rand paul is not coming? >> rand paul is not coming. neil: why? >> why he is not coming? what he when i talked to him, what he told me there was something he had to do tomorrow in the senate and he couldn't get out of it. neil: understood. but no, he is not coming and ted cruz is not coming. but we have great individuals coming. they will talk about what they're going to do to turn the economy around. i'm going to brag about florida the whole time. how we've done a great job here and they but we need somebody in d.c. to do the same thing.
1:07 pm
neil: are they courting your support? i know you have marco rubio and jeb bush fighting for the florida primary in the middle of march. both are contesting it right now. scott walker when i was talking to him last week walker ceding the state or campaigning the state were it could tom to the two of them but who has the edge? >> i think it is way too early. i won in 2010 having never run for office, running against sitting attorney general and sitting ceo in my primary i won because i had a jobs platform. whoever spends time to talk about how they will turn the economy around nationally, as we've done in florida they will win the florida primary. it is winner-take-all. neil: finish thought. >> winner-take-all, next march 29th. everyone knows you have to win florida to win the presidency. neil: if marco rubio were to lose or jeb bush were to lose
1:08 pm
is that losing candidate finished in your eyes? >> oh, no. you know, i think this is probably the biggest microcosm of the country. we have 250 languages spoken in our state. we're an immigration state. we have people from all over the world. i think it is a very important state to win. but i think probably who will win florida will be the nominee. neil: we'll watch very, very closely. governor look forward to see you. >> see you tomorrow. neil: right. as the governor pointed out, this big pow wow tomorrow. we will be there in orlando. this show will come live from there. as will my fox news show, "your world." rick perry, bobby jindal, all the special guests live at unusual economic summit in moist important of so-called swing states. remember it was so close between mitt romney and barack obama last go round they didn't tabulate the votes and official winner in florida until almost a week later when barack obama edged out mitt romney.
1:09 pm
that was then. what happens now? big candidates get big money. big fund-raisers like foster friess and george seay after this. they're right now. doing it right now. the dangers of live. i apologize. george, i apologize to you. foster, first, to your. >> no problem. neil: you're sticking to marco rubio. is that unequivocal. santorum, you didn't want to say too much because of fear with small donors. is that your way of hedging? >> first i want to congratulate you on your new show, neil. you're particularly well-suited. it will be a lot of fun to range over so many issues so congratulations. in terms of rick santorum, i think it is interesting he is the first one i've talked to has an economic agenda, talking about the 74% of the american
1:10 pm
people who have not graduated from college. how do they need. he chastises the republican party for very finely-tuned message to the 5% or the job creators without talking about the job holders. and he is championing for a flat tax. and i also just enjoyed listening to governor scott. he is one of my real heroes. he should be running for governor himself. quite a guy and -- neil: running for president. >> doing a great job in florida. neil: it is interesting. you notice the pivot on the part of senator santorum, he maybe agrees with you, that marco rubio is trying to balance as well two economic issues to what do you do about the minimum wage? what do you do about the middle class? democrats as you know are increasingly talking about creative ways to hike taxes on the upper income. we're bashing big business or banks. what do you think of that? why do you think marco rubio espouses those views the best? >> are you talking to george or to me? neil: to you, i apologize.
1:11 pm
go ahead. george. >> yeah, george is a marco rubio guy. neil: i know that is why i'm talking to him now. george, what do you think of that why marco rubio best espouses that view? >> well, neil i would add congratulations to you in addition to foster on your new format and your two-hour program. this will be a lot of fun for you. neil: usually i'm a lot more coherent than that. thank you, guys. i apologize for that. >> no problem. neil: go ahead. >> rubio has really set himself apart so far in terms of having a substantive response to every major policy issue whether on the economic side or the national security side. or the social conservative side. he really lays out all the issues and positions systematically substantively. so he has got a response to every question that might be posed to him on policy people might not agree with him on everything. he is very clear about what he is for. you asked earlier how emphatically foster and i are
1:12 pm
for our candidates. foster is a dear friend. i'm glad to be on the phone with him. fossor and i are both, plungers, put all your chips on the table for people. we find people we really believe in and think highly from integrity and capability standpoint. so i'm all-in for marco rubio. i'm not going to ever change my mind. putting everything i can behind hill. neil: i understand that. but george, do you think it is make or break for jeb bush and marco rubio in florida one has to beat the other there to keep going on? do you think that is the case? >> well i don't think so but i do think you're raising a valid point when you're in your home state you have to put up a good showing. i think if one of them finishes fourth or fifth in florida, they would have to really reconsider at that point but i don't think that will be the case. i think they will both run strong in florida. neil: foster, on rick santorum i have a quick question. he said not too long ago the supreme court doesn't get the final say when it comes to gay marriage. what did you make of that? what he was saying on that?
1:13 pm
>> well, i'm not much of a constitutional lawyer but i just do want to add george's enthusiasm for marco rubio. i want to compliment marco rubio what is really neat in this whole electoral process that is a sense of civility. i heard him and ted cruz debate at a koch conference with rand paul the issue of recognition of cuba. and when people left that conversation, they said, this is how the whole debate process should work. not have a circular firing squad. so i think, i have talked to eight or nine of candidates. they are all committed to be civil and lift their ideas up, rather than putting the other person down. marco has really done that well. also, carly fiorina will be the same thing. you probably heard the other day, she was, you're talking about hillary clinton had log ad million miles? so carley says that is not accomplishment. that is an activity. you and i know probably a lot of flight attendants that log ad million miles. neil: that is a good point.
1:14 pm
i don't want to -- i don't want to go how many flight attendants i might have known foster. i want to thank you you. george, i apologize for you. i apologize for my initial confusion. you are both good sports as you always are. good luck to both of you. >> glad to be with you. >> thanks, neil. neil: we're watching what is going on right now. the senate is going to try to take up again what to do about this patriot act. it is something getting closely scrutinized here and could a affect your money as well. not to sound trite, if the feeling is we've given up our security or done it in sloppy pell-mell fashion it could boomerang on us. it is too early to tell. they're desperately trying to find a way to satisfy all sides. you know how that goes. rarely can you ever do that. general petraeus on that after this.

neil: all right. well i have it is new to you sometimes it can be news to us because we thought we would pass this along on this unscripted two-hour show anything can happen. bruce jenner now kaitlin jenner. want you to check out the new "vanity fair" cover. to dagen mcdowell, on what the hell is going on, dagen! >> that is how you transition. bruce jenner. give him credit. he is only person on planet earth who knows how to one up his most famous stepdaughter kim kardashian. you know what? i could do you one better than that that is how he unveiled his new identity. kind of, leaving his male identity behind with katelyn. interesting way to spell it. c, a i t l y, n. bruce says this is the past transitioning leaving that is behind. will use female pronounce from
1:19 pm
now on. what about the outfit? it's a white satin course set. -- corset. very "playboy" bunniesque, is it not, neil. neil: i wouldn't know but thank you for that. >> annie leibowitz took the photograph. if you will unveil yourself as woman, you can't get any better than that. neil: you can't, no. certainly can't of the look at the time. >> what? what? he looks hot. or she looks hot, rather? neil: yes, okay. now on to charlene payne or charles payne. [laughter] all right. what do you make of that all that? >> the era that we're living in right? neil: rome, final days, that's fine. talk a little it about people saying this market shouldn't be doing what it is doing? running high just as economy you argue is turning tail. what is happening? >> the economy is really lackluster. we've had three contractions in this so-called recovery. since 1981 no recovery had one
1:20 pm
contraction. if anyone is feeling frustrated or major disconnect, there is a lot of evidence -- neil: you must love it. stocks are racing. >> there are a couple things that changed. you know, it is more of a global economy. today whirlpool is up three bucks. a lot of that is home building here. a lot of that is because they love whirlpool products around the world. a lot different than when the market was 100% proxy for the u.s. economy than it is right now. face it. a lot of assumptions that the second half of the year will be gangbusters. neil: you always tell people, young people in particular on your fine show don't obsess over this. i love. markets when they're news, they're news. i follow trends. i'm a big believer in history. long term the market is your friend. how do you talk to people who say, buy what you know if it is nike or apple et cetera when those stocks might have gotten pricey or knows bleedy. what do you tell them. >> if you're like me when i find
1:21 pm
out about a trend it is usually over. there are people who find out a lot sooner than i do. brand shot up most popularity amongst housewives was skechers. neil: wow. >> you know one of the hottest stocks this year? skechers. one of the hottest stocks over last year. in other words, these housewives came to love the product and buying their kids could have been buying the stock. there are a lot of people hipper and cooler than you and i believe it or not, hard to believe. >> as long as fundamentals adapt, those are names you want to be in. no doubt trying to pick the top or not getting in until we hit the top is folly. yeah, you will get some bumps along the way. neil: long term the trend is your friend. >> really is. neil: thank you, charles. it is in charles payne. like us, coast to coast, there is no liability there. if you think about it, he has to make you money and he does every
1:22 pm
single night. former governor bill richardson what he makes to pell-mell shift to the left on part of a party who doesn't seem to think hillary clinton is liberal enough. what he makes of that after this.
1:23 pm
1:24 pm
1:25 pm
>> all right. that june 30th deadline they gatter a deal are iran that one remains in effect despite john kerry breaking has leg in france over the weekend. had that looked at. but that could be a problem. that this deal all falls apart or that it will get a lot of cooler minds to sit back to say it wasn't worth it. phil richardson joins us of course to take a look at that and clinton moneys how they're handling that. good to have you. what do you think is the prospect for it at this point?
1:26 pm
>> well on iran i think it is 50/50. my hope is that we try to get more from the iranians besides nuclear agreement. the release of the marine, the release of the reporter. iran stopping some of the activity with he has stopping efforts to crush israel. there are a lot of issues involving the congress whether the congress has ultimate say. i would say it is 50/50. i think the fact that kerry who has been a very good negotiator sidelined. i would say there's a possibility of a delay beyond june 30th. and if there is -- [inaudible] >> they extend deadline. they'll cease on that governor and say with, a bad deal late is still a deal that we should junk. but what do you think happens in the end? >> well, in the end, you know a
1:27 pm
president it is very tough to beat them on an agreement like this. you know i've been through votes, and the iraq war, et cetera over the years. i think that eventually the president gets his way. but it is possible that just on the basis of the nuclear agreements when the sanctions are lifted, the inspectors, that the u.s. will say to iran look, you're not giving enough. and we walk away, and if we do then i'm not going to be materially sad. immaterial a good deal. i think that administration needs to really put the pressure on to go beyond nuclear issue. but we shall see. >> do you think if they put together a deal get a deal that critics nanls notwithstanding that that would help hillary clinton? >> yes because she's been secretary of state she's spent a lot of time in the middle east. we've made this an initiative towards cuba, towards states that are distance states, we've
1:28 pm
got bin laden, we found ways for the middle east to deal with the huge turmoil there. the whole isis effort yeah, i think it gives her foreign policy credential i think she was a good secretary of state. but again if there's no deal i don't think it will have an impact necessarily on her prospects. voters in iowa and new hampshire and the democratic primary it is beginning to be bread and butter economic issues whether they like and trust you. that is what matters in those primaries. trchght real quickly when hillary clinton talks about toppling 1% she and bill are members, and you hear from the likes of o'malley some of the other it is if much higher taxes on the 1% going after et cetera, that a smart strategy? >> well, my hope is that, you know, in the end neil, moderate candidate are elected president. my hope is that hillary and i'm not supporting anybody stays away from the class warfare
1:29 pm
stuff. the 1% stuff. i think it is important to talk about income inequality but not in the context of, you know, the rich trying to divide us as a country. i think i want jobs progressive government, i think that is where she should stay is. >> governor thank you very, very much. >> congratulations on your show that is great for a long two hours. >> what do you mean long two hours governor? [laughter] >> it is a compliment. >> that is governor making your final appearance here at fox business we do appreciate it. thank you for it. >> a compliment. >> just kidding i'm sure you were too. thanks. so when we come back we do have general -- saying stuff like that but following what is going on in washington with the general. some of these protections of data and what he did with the nsa and what you do with those who want to stoop in polls. how far do you go? they have no idea in washington.
1:30 pm
the general has some ideas. he's here exclusively, next. the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... using wellness to keep away illness... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care... by connecting every single part of it. for as the world keeps on searching for healthier... we're here to make healthier happen. optum. healthier is here.

usaa makes me feel like i'm a car buying expert in no time at all. there was no stress. it was in and out. if i buy a car through usaa, i know i'm getting a fair price. we realized, okay, this not only could be convenient we could save a lot of money. i was like, wow, if i could save this much, then i could actually maybe upgrade a little bit. and it was just easy. usaa, they just really make sure that you're well taken care of. usaa car buying service. powered by truecar. online and on the usaa app. i hate cleaning the gutters. have you touched the stuff? it's evil. and ladders... awwwwwww!!!!! they have all those warnings on them. might as well say, "you're going to die, jeff". you hired someone to clean the gutters?
1:33 pm
not just someone. someone from angie's list. but we're not members. we don't have to be to use their new snapfix feature. angie's list helped me find a highly rated service provider to do the work at a fair price. come see what the new angie's list can do for you. >> all right an president right now responding to what has been developing on xul without a way to extend patriot act to couple something together resembling the state america but without compromising freedoms. do we have the bytes from the president, guys? >> i think dmong strait not
1:34 pm
based on any hope but on facts and evidence and analysis that the best way to prevent iran from a nuclear weapon is a verifiable tough greemght. >> pornt to renew this it won't be renewed the way it was. but what do you think they have to ensure? >> well, i think they have to ensure a balance between the ability to collect what is needed by the intelligence community and law enforcement agencies and then also to preserve the rights of private seif american citizens. i think that what was outcome of the white house review conducted last year actually accomplished that. that would be a great basis for going forward but clearly renewed in some fashion. >> are you surprised that one
1:35 pm
senator use mr. speaker powers which is right -- could bring it to this point? >> this is a system. the system has been established served us well for centuries i have confidence that it will be outco. right one but you have to let the system work and that is exactly what is whatting. >> hours go by where we don't add something in the place, today hour that a lot of generals former president told me we're in great danger. do you agree with that? >> i do, again these are important tools very very important not only for those overseas, but for those at home for our domestic law enforcement organizations. and they do need to be renewed. >> general where do you draw the line on what is going too far. rand paul and others like him draw the line when a company gathers 120 million american phone records hands it over to
1:36 pm
the nsa. do you think that is going too far? >> well i'm not going to debate whether you should store them at the phone company if you will or the internet service providers or nsa site. that is less important than the ability with appropriate actions to have access to what indeed has been stored and then invade it be how about hop it is to go from original number. this is where again, i think that the outcome of that white house review that was conducted by a panel of individuals really came to a good outcome. >> do you think that sticks -- that collection that mega data? that is too megatoo much? >> concerning to a number of individuals, again if one understands the process through which the organizations have to go to get access to that, i think they have confidence in it. >> general, here we're going to negotiate with the government
1:37 pm
cutter and swatched for beau bergdahl the understanding is that government with a push from our government will moderate whereabouts that they won't rejoin battle in afghanistan or wherever. do you have confidence we'll do that? >> well, partnered with government of qatar headquarters of central command is located, in fact, we worked well with them. close relationships between the cia and their organization it is when i was a director. i think that this will work out. they recognize -- >> that swamp knowing what you know. >> i think it was a very, very tough and very, very close call. i think it is where i leave it. >> the argument at the time of the president -- supposed to leave you as well but we don't leave our men behind. >> we don't. that is a hugely important statement, and it is a reality. it has to be, so going to the lengths that we did in that case is at least understandable, though, as i said it was a very, very tough call.
1:38 pm
>> retrospect -- turn code. >> i think the way he fell into the enemy hand is immaterial he was a hostage and we needed to get him back. >> you have -- not permitted on some of the issues that hillary clinton said more to the point on her stewardship but krit si. has been that she was sloppy and compromised security because she was sloppy. what do you think? >> i haven't seen e-mails that indicate that certainly. there were some that were labeled sensitive but they were sensitive but one who was not in the position of government at that time. [inaudible] for years, this is how she operates opinion >> we have to see again what it is. it is certainly a nonstandard arrangement let me say this as well when command in central afghanistan and director of the cia a she was one of the most
1:39 pm
stead partners i had around the situation and turntable there in the white house. >> how do you think she would be on issues that matter toouts safety taking on terrorists? >> on the issues that matter to me when i was in uniform and at the cia i can tell you that she was again, a very, or strong steadfast supporter of the recommendations that i made in each of those positions. if all of those were accepted be policymakers which was appropriate that is okay. that is the way that the system works. but she was strongly supportive of them. >> she was stronger as far as being more aggressive in dealing with presumably with terrorists. presumably with folks who were dealing with now. is that fair to say more so? >> yeah, it is. i think that is publicly known that she was again, more forward leaning under a number of these issues. >> do you think retrospect with that approach better about that
1:40 pm
the approach ultimately taught. >> again i made recommendations because i believed in them. again, i don't recall any one of those that -- where she did not support it not saying that i always had the right answer. but my recommendations were what i firmly believed in and i was supportive in recommendations that she made i might add as well. >> how do you think general this president goes down, rap against him as far as escalating our involvement middle east not no more boots on the ground. republicans have charged him with sort of wanting to wait it out and get out and leave for someone else. is that a fair assessment. >> a bit more nuance, i do think that our policies and our country have gone through a period that is somewhat understandable in the wake of these very costly very frustrating endeavors in iraq and afghanistan some of the other tough places in the middle east that there's a desire just
1:41 pm
to leave it alone. let's just get out let's just let the region deal with these issues. but i think that is pend lum that has swung back. we're sporting the saudi led jcc coalition. >> sort of the third of the country -- i guess what i'm asking do you think it is inevitable that baghdad openly goes as well to vietnam. >> i don't think it goes in any way shape or form and we'll retake vermont in the matter of days or weeks. having said that, doesn't mean that i strongly support everything that has been done or think that it has been enough. i think clearly the fall of ram ramadi was operational setback operational because you lose the presidential headquarters indeed military headquarters at which arm bar operational command was housed. beyond that it is a strategic
1:42 pm
setback because all of a sudden the narrative and the reality of i.c.e. l losing, obviously, suffers some dense to put it mildly. and we now have to crank that up retake ground that was lost and even destroy the equipment that has been very useful for iraq security forces forces that fell into the enemy handle. i do think that will take place. having said that i think this is occasion where you sit back and look and ask are we doing enough. should we for example have advisors below the division level where there are currently two briggade level? let's work our way through this should there be joint controllers available to support iraqi forces when they get in to a tough spot with the -- >> arrested for -- [inaudible] >> i think we learned during the surge in iraq and a the years after it, neil that iraqi forces will fight and die for their country, in fact, they did just that in far greater numbers
1:43 pm
than our forces did. >> didn't do that -- couple of weeks ago in vermont. >> they did not do that. key has been good leadership. key is a sense that someone has their back. they did not have that sense when the islamic state attacked into northern iraq and moosl fell surprisingly quickly and not in ramadi they have to have that. but one step farther we need to look at where we need to augment train and speed of provision of equipment and most importantly of all we need to take a look at the center of gravity in this effort which is in baghdad. not only need to make gains on military side and regain in some cases on the military -- battles we also need to do that in baghdad and we need to ask if we have the right structure there. do we have the right military and political diplomatic structures in baghdad to enautomobile us to support those iraqi leaders who are truely inclusive who are willing to
1:44 pm
bring them back into the fabric of society. >> that brings you -- much easier said than done but if it cant be done than iraq can't be done so it has to be done and every effort to empower prime minister who has stated and wants too far this to have an interim national guard program similar to surge in iraq an so forth. >> so quickly afghanistan president demanded to qaig in, the taliban. it is not doing enough. what do you think of that? we've always been frustrated that the taliban and indeed the network al qaeda and islamic movement to name a few others achieving sanctuaries to maintain safe hairchs in pakistan a country with which we've worked hard and provided enormous assistance over years. some of this is an issue of sheer capabilities with the pakistanis can't go much farther than they have in some areas.
1:45 pm
and some cases it is undoubtedly a case of will not just -- ability. >> i think that pakistan has at times been the stetted steadfast partner and we have questioned indeed whether they were trying to achieve same objectives that we we were. >> u how do you think president will go down in history? >> accomplishments and there will be setbacks it takes time, though, you have to let the dust settle. we've begun to re-examine what was the conventional wisdom on the previous presidents, for example. and i think overtime there will be recognition that there were accomplishments that were significant and areas indeed perhaps we might have done something different. >> so all of those republicans k078ing out and going back and saying it was a mistake knowing what we know now. what do you say? >> mistake to do what? >> to get involved in iraq with the first lace? >> that is one question that the military command or privilege so the serve there for four years to command the surge should never address.
1:46 pm
i thinkly leave that one to the others, to those in a political campaign, i might add as well -- look, i wrote more lertds condolence to american mothers and fathers and inappropriate for me to look at those decision. i would add that you don't win wars by relitigating past herself. you win wars by determining the octave conditions at the time sort out what you want to accomplish, and then going ahead and get on with it. that is what we ought to be doing instead of relit gadget the past. >> general david petraeus thank you very much. >> great to be with you congrats on the new show. >> a little bit more after that.

1:50 pm
petraeus point when is it comes to what he makes of that and the discussion we had scott basically he was saying, you know, we've got to finding a current balance but we can't dottle about what. what do you think? >> i can talk about the privacy issues and gatt ring data on setses. i think seriously our vote rs have gotten ourselves into a very tough position. we've voted for big government and voted for government to be involved beyond just presenting personal right and liberty and federals and our economic right and freedoms voted for redistribution writing checks to other people to buy votes taken from people who have earned it. gotten into health care insurance banking we've gotten into education, these are all sponsor assents an government driven afnghts so the issue of if i'm not worried if facebook or airings tngt or other people have my data because i can switch.
1:51 pm
but i get a little nervous when somebody who is providing me basic services or the ability to tax the -- life out of me or to do an audit or to harass me or no authorization for a nonprofit we have a government that is so overreaching that i would be scared if the government has that kind of data. i said a long too many ago you have no privacy get over it but that was with respect to businesses but the government who is totally overreaching redistricts tacks like crazy and reaching into whether or not we can drink a soda, in all of a sudden now privacy has to be traded off against safety. if government was just there to protect our liberties and our right and our freedoms to do law enforcement and keep us safe they be you wouldn't be nervous if they were tapping into metadata tapping into -- >> they have gone too far. >> they've gone way too far in
1:52 pm
scope creep and way too involved when i'm on the show you deserve three or four hours not just two. but every time we get -- i get on your show it seems like i get audited. [laughter] >> very sorry about that. [laughter] >> you owe me. but the problem is if we could just keep government focused on allowing the pursuit of happiness opposed to a lifestyle to buy votes then i think we all could have a much safer experience when it comes to worrying our government. everything well put scott mcneely if i thank you for your time here. we got to see the entertainment news right now. company -- that is joining him at the helm since 1998 what makes him cool, though, is he's a economist. brainiac economist who says he made good. very good to have you gary and congratulations.
1:53 pm
why now, because your success is coming in as a little ready the wrath of carl icahn rather than the rights guy for the job. do you think of that? >> i think our shareholders decided to bring in an experienced executive to take over what i indicated last fall to do something new but we're going to give himg trg to put in a position to succeed. company had the first quarter since 2007. businesses showing some vitality that it hasn't seen for some time. so i think we're at an encouraging time. >> what about the whole casino business itself and underlying economy it fell. do you think we write it ourses? >> i think economy is in better shape. casino industry is in a tremendous influx of supply that came precisely when the economy was very weak. stays decided to liberalize gaming really across the country as a source of revenue. provided too much supply and many places particularly the northeast and mid-atlantic basin. >> stabilize from then? >> well, we stabilized in
1:54 pm
certain areas but if you look at shrank city for poster child for this it is tough sledding here. ympleg? >> atlantic city, atlantic county it was a regional monopoly recalling back to days of 20-medicalmile law jam now you have gaming in connecticut, new york pennsylvania, philadelphia all of a sudden too much supply for what atlantic city was built to service. >> gary we're going to watch your progress and next move very very closely thank you for your patience, gary, meanwhile is it possible to eat a cake like this? take a look. and stay tuned for it. you don't want a tattoo suzanne summers is next.
