i had a big flag flown over the united states capital. hopefully this reaches you at your desk. stuart: yes. look at that. [applause] i do want to say thank you to all of our viewers who so generally congratulated me on becoming a citizen. neil: thank you very much, stuart. if you want to become an american citizen, you are on a hook for a lot of money. that country, whatever you want to call it, is on the verge of a complete default or at least a partial default. $350 million due today. part of a 72-$75 million debt. the technical definition of a default. looking like it will not make good on part of that.

connecticut senator says no. today, a complete default. adam schapiro on this partial default. the bad word that will stick with this for a while. >> in english and in the governor's own word. they are in default. they made today's payment. to make that payment, they defaulted on other bonds. yes, they are in default. testified before congress. "in simple terms, we have begun to default on howard dead in an effort to repay aunt issued with the commonwealth and secure sufficient resources to protect the life, health, safety or welfare of the people of puerto rico." new highways. that is what they defaulted on.

here is more of what the governor said in his own words. >> puerto rico will have revenues to certain bond issues in order to maintain public services. we have taken this difficult step in the hope that congress will act soon. let us be clear. we have no cash left. they are broke. that is what he is saying. they staff people who owe bonds. $7 billion. the governor said, we are in default. >> robbing peter to pay paul. another credit line.

eventually, your house of cards will collapse. well-known from people live in the 1970s. a similar kind of disaster. there testifying congress needs to let them, not saying bankruptcy, but a way from a u.s. taxpayer. neil: unlike this country, cannot spend more money. even will we try that, we do see our credit rating downgrade. implications of all of this. >> it is a commonwealth. >> not even like that.

remember these. it has happened. >> i think that this is a one off thing. neil: chicago, of all classes are backing up. >> it is very issue specific. if you hold new york city von's, i really do not think you have to worry. here is where it gets scary. will they be on the hook to subsidize what has been an insane amount of spending and taxing and high crime rates. creating this mess in puerto rico where businesses do not want to be there. people do not want to live there.

i think that that is the big problem. this is a problem. they are not a state. not even a city. states cannot declare bankruptcy . we would have an interest in trying to help them. more focused on the go to. that is delicious, by the way. let me ask you how this goes. robbing peter to pay paul. general obligation bonds. robbing some of the lesser class bonds. you think maybe they may default on that. investors will see this. a person that owns the debt. it is owned by hedge funds right now.

both sold out. those hedge funds are betting on one thing. there is some deal where all of these hedge funds want people that. it goes up to $0.50 on the dollar. that is exactly what is going on. neil: they will get some cough up. i think that this is what will happen. they will take some haircut. generally, they will get a lifeline. i think that that is what is going on right now. >> you'll have to help out puerto rico. they were speculators. they bought the debt at very cheap prices. he will make the spread of the difference. that is essentially what is going on here. all the major hedge funds arguing with the governor.

how much of a haircut on the full faith. they can get $0.50 on the dollar. they walk away pretty happy. neil: thank you. i do appreciate that. i mentioned chicago's commercial. rob emanuel just announced a short time ago. all of this is coming to light. some 14 months ago. it came to the public's protection. this is probably just a matter of time. focusing on other developments. mainly isis in this notion coming from the president. isis will probably be around four years. i do not think those are the words that a lot of people wanted to hear.

>> that is exactly right, neil. being pressed at home and abroad. speaking from the climate change summit in paris earlier today, the president said that he remains confident. those are the words. the terms that he has been using throughout. climate change battle saying the issue is the pace. he says we will prevent surely prevail. the fight will last quite some time. >> continuing to be a deadly organization because of its social media. the resources that it has and the network of experienced fighters that oppose ss. the secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chief of staff, they face scrutiny from

the house armed services community. they have been there testifying for about two hours now. special forces will be headed into theory up. the u.s. will be employing specialized targeting forces. both isis and iraq. here is carter. >> they will be able to conduct rage free hostages gather intelligence, and capture i isil leaders. >> we asked for details about the force as it relates to iraq. neil: thank you, buddy. we have the republican from the fine state of wyoming joining us. senator, first off on this development.

what it can do about isis, at least in the near future. what do you think? >> i just got back from afghanistan. i will tell you, isis is not contained. isis is expanding. jumping the fence. setting up franchises. i think what we saw in paris just shows how deadly these people can be. that is their business model. that is what they are doing. i think we have to do much more that what than what the president is talking about now. >> places like new jersey and texas. they want to legally fight it. they cannot interfere or whine about it. where do you stand on this and what we do? given the height and security tensions, they are very tense.

>> from that area of the world. talking about 4 million refugees right now. 10,000, canada 25,000. compared to the 4 million people that have left syria. their friends and neighbors and relatives have been killed. they are just trying to stay alive. aside is still in power. we have not done a thing to set up and area, a no-fly zone where people could safely go. receive the aid. coming to the united states. we really do not have the potential right now to check their identities. neil: senator, thank you.

want to kill additional fossil fuel. even in the face of evidence. a lot more clean and friendly to the environment than they ever have been. yet, that argument will not be heard. >> i think that it is very unfortunate. it has increased by 175%. omissions have gone down by 90% over the last two decades. it is called and other fossil fuels that are bringing the world into prosperity. the exit ramp for poverty. i do not understand why people do not appreciate the fact that prosperity is good both for the environment in the standard of living for everyone around the globe. china is the perfect example.

of weeks. i know. i know. i think that this is crazy talk. i have no idea. getting a separate report coming out that united health ceo now regrets entering obamacare. the remarks that obamacare was killing it. that was that a save time. all the insurers were tanking on the believe that these exchanges were losing money hand and says. it has not formally happen. when you have the big insurers saying that these exchanges are killing us and now we are regretting joining them in the first place. obamacare would just belly up. there would be no money. there would be no backdrop. oil facilities that support about 43%.

that leaves capacity for them to get their hands on some money. 43% is the star. it should be 100%. these are the easiest error targets to hit. long, multi- long boards. they have refining centers in the isis heartland. we are trying to hit the pipeline notes. they can cut off supply. leaving the refineries along. the thought that isis collapses those refineries we will go back to the iraq keys and tribute to their welfare. trying to interdict the financial flow. sympathetic citizens of sunni states in the region. tens of billions of dollars from

. neil: all right, about that rate hike that's a gimme later this month, maybe not. the first sign that a prominent federal reserve board member is thinking otherwise, we're just getting news from our friends at market watch that chicago fed president charles evans was saying he's leaning against, i stress against, supporting an interest rate hike at policy meeting later this month. quoting here, before raising rates i would prefer to have more confidence than i do today that inflation is indeed beginning to head higher. this comes on the heels of others who expressed concern post the paris attacks, that now might not be the ideal time to raise rates, as if there is an ideal time. as carly fiorina was telling me after the fox business debate, these guys will come up with

something not to raise rates. she said it before any of this stuff in paris transpired. her view is the fed doesn't want to raise rates and will do anything to avoid it. the first hint may come from the chicago fed president. keep you posted. meanwhile, in case you think that the presidential race isn't changing fast and furious, look to the state of new hampshire and look at a certain chris christie. listen to this. >> doesn't marco and barack obama share a similar biography. >> as do ted cruz and others in this race who have no experience in governing. like i said last night, new is wonderful, great, shiny, untarnished and everybody loves new, it's exciting. . >> you great! until you need experience, until the tough moment comes. neil: i think that was the governor's way of saying too young, too inexperienced. you guys scoot down the bench. the only thing is he's trailing them substantially in the polls.

to charlie gasparino on the sudden big push from christie for christie involving all the christies. >> point out he's gone the a little surge in new hampshire. neil: absolutely. >> he got the endorsement of the "manchester union leader" which is a big thing in that state. on the heels of that, this is fascinating, as ken langone, normally big fund-raiser is receiving from the fund-raising arena, his wife is stepping into that role. now his wife has done. neil: mary pat? >> i have sources getting e-mails and telephone calls from mary pat, we're on a surge right now, we're starting to catch fire in new hampshire, it is critical that -- i'm paraphrasing. she does mention new hampshire and the fact he's getting these poll numbers and the "manchester union leader" endorsement, and saying now is the time to give because we're starting to catch fire. that's what she's telling me. neil: certainly she does not hurt him, very impressive

figure on her own right. >> langone was leading that effort. in new york, she is the one making the calls mainly. not ken langone, it's mary pat christie. neil: does that mean ken doesn't want in on this? >> he's receded, for whatever reason. neil: he must see developments like this and say hey. >> maybe tomorrow. within the last couple weeks, mary pat making the calls, not ken langone. neil: who is she making them to? >> wall street people, usual gop people. neil: the ones sitting on the fence. >> everybody is sitting on the fence you. >> chase one candidate's presumed backers to say you're backing us? >> yes, everybody is somewhat on the fence, this is a very fluid situation. mary pat christie worked at a hedge fund angelo gordon, she has connection with all the folks, she knows them. she worked at cantor fitzgerald before that.

neil: she was the family's moneymaker. >> she knows the field. not langone leading the effort, it's mary pat christie. while she is one of the team, she is now leading the team. i think she's very good, if you ever see her on tv. neil: she's terrific. >> and by the way, he's relentless, ignores polls, he's like the energizer bunny and a lot of this stuff has clicked. it seems to all be betting on winning new hampshire outright, but others say just placing second or third will prove you're the comeback kid. >> i don't know, the race is so fluid right now. carson is not out of it yet. neil: he's contained. >> donald, everybody has predicted him to fall out sometime soon. jeb bush's poll numbers. neil: the latest he's saying he should be paid 5 million dollars for the cnn debate, trump? he'll give it to charity. >> he gave them all the ratings. is he asking us for money? neil: i don't know. >> just saying. neil: he will likely make a

statement here that goes beyond -- it's not about the money, i think, it's about what to cnn, do you know? >> who knows what's up his sleeve. there is a method to donald's madness. he is smart when it comes to branding and promotion. neil: no one negotiates better. >> no one negotiates better. i'm sure the new york times is digging into every bit of his financial background, everything he's done or said. what they're going to find is about 10, 15 years ago, maybe 20 years ago he stopped being a real estate mogul in the traditional sense, it's a messy business and became a brand manager, and no one has managed that brand and made more money off of a brand than him. and that's giving him trading to lead the pack. presidential election is about branding, you brand the other guy. neil: you're a brand. enviable brand with, a goatee. >> i heard that. neil: thank you, sir. very nice.

if the allegations are true. the two sides are not getting along. enter president obama on those terms. and, of course, u.s. is an ally of turkey, but seems like he's trying to keep the peace, he was quick to remind the two sides we're all in this together in our fight against the terrorists. here's what he said in paris earlier today. >> we all have a common enemy. that is isil. i want to make sure that we focus on that threat, and i want to make sure we remain focused on the need to bring about a political resolution in syria. >> he pointed out the turks are nato allies and the right to protect themselves and that kind of thing people have been saying since the jet was shot down. at the end of the day seems like president obama is trying to get in between and keep the peace between the two countries as things get more intense. neil. neil: thanks, connell. who do you trust more? vladimir putin, consistent about being dishonest, or turkey? pretty consistent at zinging us

when we least expect it. the latest example is the halftime of the soccer game they had the moment of silence in turkey to remember the paris victims, and everyone in the stadium was yelling and screaming. allahu akbar, god is great, that gave people pause. the country's record post-9/11 whether they were friends and whether they added insult to injury in a region of the world where we know the oil convoy trucks frequent to get the black market oil to somebody. who? you know, i don't know when we trust in this case, michael. who do you trust? >> i trust that turkey will look out for its own interests. thanks for having me on, neil. until the u.s. does more, our allies aren't going to do the difficult things we're asking them to do. we asked turkey to secure border. we asked turkey to fight isis.

turkey's priorities are assad, then the kurds and then protecting the sunni turkomen from russian airstrikes. now russia. isis was way down on the priority list, and can make the same argument about the u.s. the u.s. priority was the iran deal. the u.s. did nothing in iraq and syria for four years and now when president obama asked turkey to do the difficult things, erdogan can say mr. president where, is your skin in the game? seven sorties in the mission, that is not enough to get me to do difficult things. neil: the countries look after themselves and their own interests first. i wonder if turkey's interests ultimately not fall back on turkey but zinging us and maybe not for the reasons you state, but i go back because i'm holding a grudge here, that game, that soccer game and the halftime moment when there was so much yelling in the supposed moment of silence for paris

victims, me thinks they're not quite on the same page. >> every time erdogan takes a defiant stance against the u.s. he gets increase in popular support. >> is that right? >> not only in turkey but the region. he's the one guy that can stand up to the u.s. there was a photo used when obama visited istanbul, a manipulated photo. where erdogan's arm crossed over obama's shoulder. turkish press paused and showed erdogan cradling president obama's face, they used that to press erdogan's power in subjugating obama. and showed how much erdogan disrespected obama. that was circulated widely in turkish press and praised by supporters of erdogan and showed erdogan as a strong force in the face of u.s. interference, so to speak other in area, in the region. neil: images count for a great

deal. to your point. >> thanks for having me. neil: now to retired colonel and congressman allen west. congressman, always good to have you. that we've got more problems here that the refugees ironically we don't want in the united states, and few countries are leery to take the treatment is radicalizing the elements and making it worse. we are through our policies making future isis recruits. what do you make of that? >> pleasure to be with you. hopefully you had a great thanksgiving. look to minnesota and minneapolis and st. paul area to see what can happen when you allow somali refugees to come here and they were radicalized. have you between 20-25 somali military age males missing from the area and not on the -- faces are not on milk cartons. i think we know exactly where they are. what you see happening in europe is they are enacting policies which will bring about

a devastating effect on domestic security. from the beginning we should have made this simple. military age males from 16-40 and also single females from 21-35, should not have been allowed entry, because you have to put your security first and foremost. when you have the radical elements like we saw in the neighborhood in brussels in belgium, they're doing exactly what they say they're going to do. they're going to turn people and going to enact terrorist attacks. neil: all right, so, i guess what some people are saying like angela merkel if i heard her correctly, she was saying be careful, paraphrasing here, be careful how we handle the refugees, we might be emboldening the bad guys's behavior, bitter and angry. and to your point about young males, they're going to turn against us. i think a lot of them are already of that mind-set, so what would change? >> they are already of that

mind-set, and we continue to have this policy of we have to appease and acquiesce and compromise with the enemy so they are not offended and don't hate us. well, they hate us because of our ideology, go back to the late 1790s when thomas jefferson and john adams sat in paris with the day of algiers and were asked why was our ship being attacked and our people sold into slavery? and the day of algiers said because we're commanded to do so. leon klinghoffer when he was pushed off the akili lara had nothing to do more with gitmo or any of the excuses people are coming up with. there is an ideological program we have and we're allowing it to festner western civilization. neil: congressman, thank you very much, scary stuff. >> my pleasure. neil: it is weird. thank you very much. >> yes. neil: we told you about how significant it was that chicago fed president charles evans now say he is leaning against a

hike in interest rates at the big federal reserve powwow later this month when it seems to be a given that the fed is going to hike interest rates for the first time in almost a decade. he's a pretty influential figure, he is a voting member of the fomc, the federalome market committee. if he is having doubts about the need to raise rates at this time, i want you to take a leap here to think of how many others are having the same doubts. i'm telling you, that rate hike, i don't know about you. it's not a gimme. it's not close to a gimme. stick around, you are watching fox business. sure, tv has evolved over the years.

it's gotten squarer. brighter. bigger. it's gotten thinner. even curvier.

but what's next? for all binge watchers. movie geeks. sports freaks. x1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. . neil: all right, we told you about release of the clinton e-mails, the latest batch, we're two thirds through or half through, the 56,000 or 52,000 e-mails she had on the

private server, gave to the state department, the state department handed out now 99, call it a thousand, might be top secret, they were not supposed to be shared. hillary clinton's argument is well, they were not categorized as such when we first had them to. judge andrew napolitano, what all of this means and whether she's in trouble with the latest release. good to see you, my friend. >> nice to see you. i think she's in a lot of trouble. neil: you do? >> the obligation imposed upon everybody that works for the government, especially the secretary of state, obligation she accepted in writing to preserve and keep secure national security secrets she has blatantly violated. neil: what if they weren't secrets at the time? >> here's what she says. quote, i neither sent nor received anything marked classified. closed quote. that's a play on words, nothing is marked classified. classified is the lay

terminology, the legal markings are confidential, secret and top secret and the essence of the information determines level of secrecy, not whether it is stamped confidential, secret or top secret. couple of examples. ambassador stevens eventually murdered in benghazi, highs travel plans she put out there. satellite images of north korean installations. neil: travel plans? >> in the two weeks leading up to benghazi. satellite images of north korean installations, u.s. satellite images of activities on the ground in yemen. she sent this to blumenthal who didn't have a secured server and doesn't have a national security clearing. neil: disproportion at amount of e-mailing. >> sid's dirty tricks when they ran against each other in 2008 said there is no way i will hire this guy.

neil: is that it right there? >> yes, it is. she failed to keep national secure secrets. the question is not only the evidence to prosecute her, is there the will to prosecute her in this justice department. neil: you remind me, the fbi can recommend action, he alone can't prove it. he goes to the justice department says i think there's enough here. what do you do? >> we want you to take this to a grand jury, the justice department could say no, for policy reasons we're not going to do that. in my opinion if that happens, you'll see copy of proposed indictment leaked, evidence leaked and resignations on the part of certain fbi agents. she is in the hands of a very, very sophisticated team of fbi agents who are not interested in politics. this is the same team that took down general david petraeus for far less than the evidence they have here. neil: he had something at home, right?

>> he had a loose leaf with classified documents in it. i slipped and said classified. he had them in an unlocked drawer in his house that was guarded 24-7. because it was in an unlocked desk drawer and friend was in the house who did not share the high level of security clearance he had, he was prosecuted and pleaded guilty. neil: that could be a double standard. >> one issue. not 999 different e-mails. neil, when the data is from an american satellite, it is automatically top secret, even if it were a data of you brushing your hair, because it's taken from an american satellite it's top secret because it can tell that the satellite was there and where it was. she was instructed of that on the second day she was in office as secretary of state, and she acknowledged them writing her understanding of that instruction, and that acknowledgment was signed by two fbi agents. neil: wow.

that would be a secret about my brushing my hair. there is a certain thing i do. i don't want that to get into msnbc hands. [ laughter ] >> judge, thank you very much, scary stuff. all right, other scary stuff depending on your point of view are the leaks or indications we're getting from a guy who seemed to be predisposed to raising interest rates. the cleveland fed president charles evans says you know, the way things are going, i'm not sure i'd raise rates. that is a seminole moment, he sits on the fomc and as a voting member of the federal open market committee could move others to think the same. what does this all mean for you? this gimme that interest rates are automatically going to go up in a few weeks. maybe not, maybe not at all. we're seeing the first signs now. we told you this a couple of weeks ago on fox business, and you were probably watching something else. i hope you're proud of yourself. [ laughter ]

>> stick around. ♪ i built my business with passion. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy for my studio. ♪ and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... that's huge for my bottom line. what's in your wallet?

cycle? the business roundtable puts out quarterly survey of expectations and just released today, ceos expect capital expenditures down 16.7%. sales to be off 3.2% and u.s. employment to be unchanged. so what will break the trend according to the ceo's in the survey? looking to washington. they feel they're on hold ahead

of the presidential election, renewed fears of terrorism. a lot of the usual suspects if you will. neil: weird to think what the cleveland fed president is saying. just to update you on that and whether what lori reported could have entered into the equation for chicago fed head charles evans is not keen for it. if he is not, would he influence other members who might be feeling similarly anxious about raising rates at this time. we go to jared levy in chicago whether a voting member of the federal open market committee could be signaling change in what was expected to be given sentiment. what do you think, jared? >> tough to call on the decision of interest rates this month. my models are sort of all over the place. you have the capex stuff that you talked about. that's a big problem, i looked over the past couple of years, to see how companies were

spending, and the profit generating activity was through restructuring. they weren't opening new stores and expanding, they were cutting costs, laying off workers, adjusting prices. when the fed looks at that and evans makes a good point. here we are six years into the recovery, do we want to sort of make the business environment tougher when the companies haven't been growing horizontally? haven't been expanding? they've been hoarding and being safe, and by the way, share buybacks up 80% in the last quarter compared to 10 years ago. 80%. that's how companies are making money. almost like a facade. neil, i'm baffled about this one. i'm a 50-50 shot whether interest rates will rise this december meeting. it's a tough call. we'll talk. neil: i harken back when i talk about carly fiorina after the fbn presidential debates and

chatting about the whole thing. one of her arguments about the federal reserve is looking at their history, neil. they'll find almost any reason not to raise rates, that they don't want to raise rates, not predisposed to raise rates. she hinted it was political because janet yellen didn't want to hurt the democrats. be that as it may, didn't think it would happen. we have a chicago fed president saying no, i'm not inclined. do you know or think that the paris attacks, the imploring we're getting from many in europe saying now is not the time is weighing on the fed and pushing back this move? >> it has to, to an extent. we're not a country in a bubble. we have trade partners around the world, and i talked about this two weeks ago with you. the currency war bit of it, and i'll call it a war because it is, with china, with europe. just the ebbs and flows of

currency alone can affect profitability. yeah. of course, they're considering the attacks and considering the fact that jurisprudence stimulating their economy, and it is driving their currency down and same thing with china. so that makes our stuff more expensive. a big cycle of problems. again, neil -- >> let's say jared, they don't do that, then what? what happens to the markets after that meeting? >> if they raise rates? >> if they don't. >> if they don't do it, there's another rally, and believe it or not you're watching over the past week as economic data has been crappy, pardon my french, but it's true, you've watched the market drift higher. the bets on the fed not raising rates are going higher. more people are believing. that i think we see a rally, even though the business circle doesn't look good, it's about stimulus like the magical hand that's going to fix things. and by the way, they really haven't. we're going to reap these

problems or these seeds way, way farther in time. i don't know how they're going to manifest themselves. talking about easy money. something we'll address years down the road. now it's all about stimulus. neil: i hear you, jared, thank you very much. could be pouncing onto something more significant than it deserves. i find it interesting you have a prominent fed member saying go slow, don't do it right away. i find these things are choreographed and part of a pattern of announcements that i bet you are going to come out in the next couple of weeks, where fed members just pause, hold off and don't do anything right now. again, could be way too early to tell, but might have seen the first signs today. the federal reserve setting the stage for doing squat, nothing, nada, zilch, zippo. after this. this week's btv spotlight features pure energy minerals

symbol hmglf. there's a revolution happening in energy, and it's not in oil and gas, it's in energy storage. pure energy is based in nevada which is home to the only producing lithium mine in north america. pure energy has signed a cornerstone supply agreement for the supply of lithium hydroxide to a nevada battery factory, which is making news around the world. we are focused on using disruptive technologies to mine lithium. to increase efficiencies, to decrease cap-ex costs and decrease op-ex costs while also reducing the environmental footprint. in the last 12 months, pure energy has gone from a green field project to producing the only 43-101 inferred resource on a lithium brine project in north america of 816,00 tonnes and pure energy is focused on being the lowest cost producer of high quality battery materials. pure energy

to make your appointment call at&t and switch the easy way. neil: all right. now defense secretary ash carter is saying that turkey needs to do a little bit more here with regard to isis, to operate both in the air and on the ground against the is lamic state. effectively saying that is not doing enough against isis. that's his opinion of course but others have echoed that. that the turks are not maybe the friends we think. we'll see. all right. we hear about this climate change push and all the countries sort of pitching in or told to address it.

the matter of fact some are getting a pass indeed don't need to address it so soon, like china is now out of control. beijing hazard does air pollution at record levels this is typical scene in bejing. this isn't fog this is smog. this hazardous air condition, whether china is doing anything about it. gordon chang on that. gordon what do you think and whether the chinese are only hurting themselves by not working more to work on their own environment? forget about climate change, just deal with pollution there? >> the communist party will have to do something because the chinese people are starting to get really upset. in beijing they're calling it air megaddon or the air apocalypse. the levels of pollution right now are 40 times higher than that recommended by the world health organization. people are starting to look at this to say the communist party needs to do something.

i think essentially beijing is going to have to do something whether we give them incentives or not. neil: gordan, whether or not you believe climate change, these are bunch of factories that come from a country industrialized even better. i'm told the levels improved from what they were but awfully bad now. what does china do? >> i think china to a certain extent will have to change its political system. it will have to open it up a little bit to allow people and ngos to really act on climate but the other thing -- neil: what are ngos. >> non-governmental organizations, activists groups. right now china has been shutting them down on climate as well as other things and think they will have to open it up a little bit because the biggest protest in china over last three or four years have been about the environment and that's certainly going to continue. neil: thank you very much. gordon chang. part of this issue they're addressing in paris is to try to put a lid how much the earth

warms up, right? they have got this two degrees celsius model. that would be 3.6 fahrenheit and that might do the trick that might, prevent calamity. anything over that would be calamity. keep it to that or under you're well on the way to making the earth a betterplace. university of california san diego professor david victor on that and this two degree thing. first, professor, the two degree issue, how did they arrive at that? how big of a deal is that? >> well, this was a political target set in the 1990s. that is a long time ago. basically it was set two is bigger than one and smaller than three. back in the 1990ss a number of countries especially europe thought it was possible to cut emissions to stop warming at two degrees. because we haven't done very much controlling emissions, not just the chinese you talked with gordon about in the last segment and all other countries we're on track to a lot more warming than

two degrees. neil: so what happens if they can't contain this whether you accept two degrees as a level or not? i mean, they're saying over two degrees katy-bar-the-door, it get awful. does it? >> i have to say i'm a little worried about the rhetoric on this because there is no evidence there is a threshold of after two degrees we fall off a cliff. what will happen the odds of bad things happening are going to go up. so we'll need to deal with more warming and deal with higher sea levels, deal with a variety of other things to greater degree we might otherwise right now we don't know about any actual threshold. neil: by controlling the warming or doing something about it, would be reining in any human-related activity, right? >> yeah. the evidence that humans are affecting the climate already is extremely robust. it gets stronger every time the scientific community gets together to reassesses the science.

that part of the climate science actually very strong. there are much greater uncertainties what the actual impacts will be, impacts on rainfall and crops and refugees, variety of other things. neil: some of meteorologist, professor, other day, saying weather and weather patterns move in 19 year cycles. i don't even know he is right. lost me through half the answer. brilliant guy, much like you. we could be chasing the wrong beast here and spending committing trillions of dollars to do something not only isn't going to move the temperature dime but doesn't make any difference period. what do you think of that? >> yeah, i don't think that argument's right. i think basic physics of how humans build up gases in the atmosphere is affecting climate, not just gases. but also soot particles and variety of other pollutants you can see in the air over china. there is a huge amount of evidence as you build those up in the atmosphere they stress

and torque the climate system. i think the argument we're spending, potentially spending a ton of money to have no impact on money, that argument doesn't have much basis at all. interesting. neil: professor, thank you for taking the time. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. neil: meantime, the one thing that is getting in the way of making any sort of environmental accord stick, low gas prices. yeah, low gas prices. you might enjoy it at pump but it is not doing much to pump up enthusiasm for cleaning up the earth. ain't that a pip.

>> it is time now for your fox business brief and we have a problem in manufacturing with that portion of the economy contracting the first time in three years last month. you look at the ism number. their index below 50 in the month of november which is the magic number. 50 is the line between expanding and contracting. a lot of people want to know what this means for the federal reserve which is not clear yet although neil did mention earlier this hour, at least one fed official, charles evans is talking about possibility of rates not going up. market is going up today. not much of this manufacturing report is positive. looking to pick out something like that, even new orders component, which gauges new production, flipped last month. if dollar stays strong, people think this trend will not be reversing anytime soon. it's a trend by the way.

five months in a row we've seen decline in manufacturing. with that said, stocks are up. neil is back. more "coast to coast" in a moment. the pursuit of healthier.

it begins from the second we're born. because, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned every day. using wellness to keep away illness. and believing a single life can be made better by millions of others. as a health services and innovation company optum powers modern healthcare by connecting every part of it. so while the world keeps searching for healthier we're here to make healthier happen. neil: we started in chicago, jeff flock was talking about those big gas-guzzlers, i gas-guzzlers is not apropos. they're much better on gas. not as friendly as some smaller vehicles. they're all the rage.

lizzie macdonald says they're all the rage. >> electric vehicles are down from 100,000 last year, there abouts according to some estimates to 92,000. nissan leaf, those sales are down and under pressure. toyota prius is down. what is interesting happened in the state of georgia, you do you know about this? they yanked state tracks credits to buy hybrid and electric vehicles. boy those sales plunged for months and months. they went down to a 10th from the month prior. it is astonishing. interesting the vehicle sales really live and survive off of tax subsidies. neil: you know what is weird though? one thing to provide them for a leaf, but when tesla buyers who are well-healedded are getting $7500 tax credits to buy, come on. >> that is exactly right. i've checking reports in places like california and connecticut, they're complaining about green

bling going for the wealthy to buy these vehicles. and there are things that are breaking out like plug-in fights at train station. who gets parking space first. what is real interesting, edmunds.com found that it's a now one in five people who have an electric vehicle, they go to trade it in, go get an suv instead. neil: is that right? reporter: other thing they found that was only one in 10 three years ago. so is the trend their friend? no, not right now, with low gas prices. it will not be great either. still, electric car sales will continue to go forward but, you know, we've talked about the highway trust fund. if you keep pushing the electric vehicle, the tax revenues are not coming into the highway trust fund. you have to stop with the bicycle paths as well. neil: do like a distance thing, right for the distance? reporter: tax it on the miles. neil: lizzie, thank you very, very much. lizzie macdonald. meantime, what do you make of warren buffett campaigning with

hillary clinton? obviously he is a very influential figure in the financial community. they revere him. but is it me or do you ever notice warren buffett, bill gates, all of these guys are very big talking about more government but they have all decided now that when they die, it goes to a charitable foundation that has nothing to do with government. i'm dead serious. after this. rld has gotten you f, but what if you could see more of what you wanted to know? with fidelity's new active trader pro investing platform, the information that's important to you is all in one place, so finding more insight is easier. it's your idea powered by active trader pro. another way fidelity gives you a more powerful investing experience. call our specialists today to get up and running.

marco rubio is good backup bet if you're expecting guys like donald trump will fade into the woodwork. that is the hope for these guys expect to happen but we'll keep you abreast of that. keeping you abreast of the other side, hillary clinton marshaling force of her own, warren buffett campaigning with him. that has allure. got me thinking, happens sometimes on this show, buffett says before he dies he is giving it all away, but not to the government. all that billions to his buddy bill gates, the bill and melinda gates foundation, he obviously thinks as much enthusiast of big government it makes more sense to give it to a charity where the money will get to where it's intended and nowhere else. todaily caller foundation editor-in-chief, chris bedford. charlie gasparino, what we are to make of that. what do you think? >> kind of plays exactly what bernie sanders thing is against her, she is kind after

quid pro quo candidate. she is sporting him and he is giving money to bill and linda gates foundation. they're partners with the clinton foundation. at the same time he will try to pay less taxes. she will support green tax handouts to his companies. so it es kind of pay to play. one thing that really does show she is less worried now than she does about bernie sanders who will hit her like ted cruz for working this cooperation between big ngos, big government and big business. yeah, it is hypocrisy but not anything different from what we've seen before. neil: you're very jaded young man. all right, gaspo. >> warren buffett as we all know is a great investor but if you look at him politically he is pretty much, you know, he has done some very hypocritical things. he doesn't pay highest tax rate. takes most of his income in capital-gains taxes. we should point out i believe he was big investor in burger king, right? who did corporate inversion.

didn't hear a peep out of him. i just wonder when finally the bloom will be off the rose with warren buffett with the mainstream media. when at some point his embrace of all these sort of things that -- neil: never, never. >> maybe never, but will he be a campaign issue going forward any think he is right for ted cruz or somebody to put together a logical, you're for all this class warfare. look who is part of it, warren buffett. neil: chris, the other point is, these guys when push come to shove, bill gates and all that, they are obviously very good with money. they prefer before they leave this earth, not leaving penny to the government, if they can leave to it a charitable foundation that will be better spent. >> he is businessman, he will put money where it will dot most good. he knows private charity will be more responsive than federal government. even with windmills he is little doubter on global warming alarmism. put billions of dollars in wind farms. he said met hillary in omaha, i

would be insane to put this money into wind arms. neil: who is saying that? >> he would be insane putting money into wind farms if not for the tax credits. >> at some republican would put together coherent argument on warren buffett, complete capitalist. neil: you would put it out there, no one would cover it. >> john kasich worked on wall street, worked for lehman. jeb worked and lehman and barclays. cruz's wife worked at goldman. you would think put together something that calls this guy out. neil: but it is not happening. guys, want to thank you with all the breaking news and all. we'll have follow-ups on some fed members getting cold feet on interest rate hike. don't say we didn't warn you but we warned you. you were watching something else, weren't you? that is your problem. it's not ours. more after this. can a business have a mind?

neil: okay. trish regan.
