[laughter] >> one industry is making too much money. this is a very popular belief right now. people on wall street make too much money. i am not saying that they do not come but this is just the governments way of seizing control of pay. and initiating these socialist type controls to maintain more

control. my thought is that if you do not like how much a ceo with making, then do not buy the stock or do not be a customer of that company. do not leave it up to the government to regulate how much. the government could very easily go into any industry. entertainers, that would scare the daylights out of them if all of a sudden they came in and said, brad pitt is getting paid too much for a movie. stuart: or if the movie bombs, we want your money back. you kind of build yourself foul. thank you very much, indeed. i have to move on to politics. donald trump says he will be more presidential now. so presidential, he says, that we will get a word with him. he said it. he may be right.

if he called down and is more presidential, a.b. we will be bored with him. maybe he will lose some support. what say you? >> i think that trump is heading into the home stretch here. he needs to act presidential and be taken seriously. at the same time, you will still see the donald trump that we have grown accustomed to on the campaign trail. it is what has got him here. it is what has gotten this far. i do not hang that you will stop hearing him say crooked hillary anytime soon. if it is trump versus hillary in november, who wins? >> well, i t be a lot looser than a lot of people are saying.

really, when you look at the polls now, asking voters about november, it is purely hypothetical. i think that it would be pretty close. i think that trump would have a shot and i think a lot of people are writing him off right now. stuart: suggesting to the prince that they stay in the european union. >> it is funny. he is happy to go over to the uk and tell them what is best for them and say that they should stay in the eu. the mayor of london is upset about it and i think rightfully so. obama would never suggest something for the u.s. in that way. he is only doing it because it

fits his globalist idea of world order. it is hypocritical of him to go over and do that. stuart: i have for liberal lunacy on campus for you. the university of wisconsin lacrosse. micro- aggression. >> nothing better to do them this. there is freedom of speech. they are getting so much attention for doing this. eventually, it will become the relevant. we have free speech at this university. live with it. >> exactly. you either have free speech or

stuart: a very interesting political development moments ago.

i'm going to bring you more on it. here's the story. the governor of virginia is going to give convicted felons the right to vote. maybe more than 200,000 of them the right to vote, and that would be in november of this year. there are political implications for this. joining us now is the leader of the nonpartisan organization, all in together. >> thanks for having me. stuart: off the top of my held, i would say that's a democrat governor roping in more democrat voters for p and you say? >> well, look, the issue around the life that convicted felons face after they get out of prison has become, actually, a very important bipartisan issue. the conversations around criminal justice reform have had support on both sides of the aisle. i think for sure for the democrats it's a benefit when largely minority convicted felons have the right to vote. stuart: sure. but are you lumping this in with criminal justice reform? >> you know -- stuart: because that's about

sentencing policy. >> well, it is. but the banning the box, for instance, is about enabling convicted felons to go to work without being asked about their history once they've served their time. many foams feel your full -- folks feel your full rights should be restored, and i think this is something the democrats feel very strongly about. stuart: your organization is nonpartisan. >> right. stuart: you approve of this? >> i mean, look, in general i do think it's important that we maximize the opportunities for all americans to participate in our democracy. that is the essence of our nation. stuart: could it be that terry mcauliffe -- a very good friend of the clintons, i believe he gave them their first mortgage. >> he ran their campaign in 2008. stuart: yes, he did. help the clintons and do it before november so we can get maybe -- >> i don't know, i think it also helps him in the state of

virginia because, obviously, you know, he's -- it's an important voting bloc for, you know, minorities are an important voting bloc for democrats. i'd like to see republicans embrace this thing a little bit more. republicans need more support in the united stateses from minorities, and if they're going to win back the presidency, they need more minority votes, so i'd love to see in this become more of a bipartisan push. unfortunately, it is partisan today, but that's a choice. stuart: why would a republican governor give voting power to convicted felons if that republican governor knows that the voting power he or she is giving away would go against him in the election? >> well, if you believe in the principles of freedom and equality and the basics of our democracy, then you believe in -- stuart: that's why i say terry mcauliffe's moves have nothing to do with principle. it's political advantage. >> i mean, it doesn't hurt. look, i think this should be a nonpartisan issue.

we need a maximum of participation in our democracy k and anything that eliminates, you know, huge numbers of our citizens from participating, to me, is a disservice. stuart: terry mcauliffe was the co-chair of bill clinton's 1996 re-election campaign. >> he has very deep relationships with the clintons, no question about it. stuart: and something to do with hillary's 2008 presidential -- he was the chairman of her campaign, i believe. >> yes, he was. >> mere coincidence. >> i'm not saying it's not political undertones to a choice like this. you would have to be sort of deaf, dumb and blind not to see that. [laughter] i am saying, however, regardless of the political optics, i happen to think that it is important that we find ways to get more people involved in our political process. and i do believe and, frankly, this is a libertarian point of view, when people fill their debt to society, their rights as citizens should be fully restored. stuart: okay. we understand that.

second, university of wisconsin lacrosse, more pro-trump chalk called hostile, okay? they don't like that. third, an exception -- this is what we're waiting for here. florida atlantic university wants to make the entire campus a free speech zone. how about that? joining me now, steve haywood, professor at pepperdine, a man we like, a tenured professor, for heavens sake. look, i fully support what that university in florida is doing. it's basically telling its students, grow up. i love it, don't you? >> well, yes. but isn't it amazing, stuart, that it has come to this? i mean, if you go back two or three years here in california, there was an episode at a community college where a student was stopped from passing out pocket copies of the constitution because he wasn't doing it in a free speech zone. i mean, the idea that you would restrict speech on campus to little zones somewhere is repugnant to the idea of a university which is supposed to

stand for open inquiry and pretty much anything goes. and, i mean, this is completely preposterous but very much good news for florida atlantic for saying let's make the whole university a free speech zone. that's the way it should be. stuart: outside that florida situation, this nonsense continues all over the country whether it's chalk and trump or safety zones or sensitivity and all that kind of thing. i mean, i'm just flabbergasted, quite frankly, professor. i cannot imagine a university encouraging or even entertaining that kind of nonsense. and it's happening. >> yeah. well, here's what you need to understand about this. this isn't just timid administrators, this is deep ideological doctrine of the radical left that is so powerful on college campuses. look, the idea that's at the center of leftist ideology on campus is that it's all about power, and therefore, any ideas that get in the way of their drive for power such as, say,

republicans, should be suppressed. they actually don't believe in free speech anymore. they don't believe in open inquiry, and that's a real threat to the very idea of a university. that does need to be stopped or the university is finished. stuart: what are we doing about this? other than what's happening in florida, what about the rest of the country? >> well -- [laughter] you know, even some liberals on college campuses i know, because i've talked to them, say they think this is going too far. but look, i mean, i think that some people should fight back. for example, on these campuses where people object to chalkings about trump, i think college republicans should file formal complaints against every bernie sanders event on the straightforward theory that bernie sanders is a socialist, and his socialism creates misery, hate, persecution and guy -- gulags, right? maybe some of this nonsense will stop. stuart: do you think we can expect some college administrators to have a backbone and say this is a university, we encourage the free exchange of ideas and

opinion? will we ever see that on a grand with scale? >> well, you know, i think most -- the job description for most college administrators these days has a line that specifies you must be a p spineless invertebrate. [laughter] however, one thing that's happened recently is that the university of missouri, you remember that fuss at the university of missouri where you had the professor who was, i think rightly fired for calling for muscle to intimidate a journalist? well, their new student enrollments are down sharply. applications are down sharply. and they've had to close four dormitories, and they're going to be way in the red this year. that's the marketplace speaking. and i think if the marketplace continues to speak out hike this, even spineless college administrators are going to change their tune. stuart: yes, i like it. what was that expression? spineless invertebrate? what'd he saysome. >> spineless invertebrates, yeah. stuart: you're famous. steve hayward, everybody, a professor. we like you. thanks very much, we appreciate it.

>> thanks, stuart. stuart: look, general motors down about 28 credibilities, but we've -- cents, but we've got breaking news. >> gm announcing they're going to idle four plants because of supply chain issues from the recent earthquakes in japan, one in ontario, another in tennessee, ohio and kansas. they're going to be idle for a couple of weeks starting on monday, they say. it's not going to hurt finances or the production plans but, certainly, supply chain issues because of those earthquakes in southern japan. stuart: gm's 32 this morning. after the break we'll discuss the life of prince. next, someone who sang with him on stage back in the 1980s. yes. ♪ ♪ she walked in through the out door, out door. ♪ she wore a raspberry beret, the kind you find in a secondhand store ♪

and its specific reversal treatment. stuart: we're remembering pop icon prince today. joining us on the phone, one of prince's contemporaries, '80s pop star taylor dayne. it's great to have you with us. >> oh, thank you. stuart: you knew him personally, please tell us the story of when you met him in hamburg in 1988. go. >> yeah. it was pretty much the beginning of my career. i had just played monotroh, and tell it to my heart was blowing up all throughout europe. i had just done the michael jackson bad tour, and i was continuing on with my promo and breaking my first record and, you know, i was the breakout artist there. i'll never forget we went to see prince was doing his stadium

term for the love sexty tour and sheila on drums. it was pretty phenomenal, and his brother came up to us at the concert, and he said, you know, please come to an after party and a concert he's doing after the show. we went, and i was with my record rep and the i was dating and my background singer, and we went to the concert. we were heading into the loo, and we see these pants coming down, and it says love and sexy, and he's standing in front of me on the way to the bathroom. he goes, what's your name? i said, taylor. and he said, taylor what? i said taylor dayne, he says, i've been wanting to meet you for a long time. you're blowing up, you're amazing. and said, okay, and he's chewing a piece of gum, and he'sing with very provocative as only he could be, fantastic suit. and i go, what is that coming out of your mouth? he goes, what are you talking about?

i go to grab it, and he goes, girl, it's a piece of gum. it was crazy. i want you to sing with me. i go, what? he says, come on stage, you're going to sing with me right now. i'm standing there flabbergasted. i said, okay, but i will be taking this girl, can she sing with me? he says, girl, you are crazy. i go, she's got to sing with me, she goes everywhere with me. and sure enough, he called me on stage. that's how it all began. two weeks later i was in paisley park, you know, the studio, having a party. stuart: that's a great story. >> he was amazing. the beginning of it all for me, yeah. stuart: step back a little for those of us who are not as musically oriented. could you assess his impact on music? tell us. >> i have to say, you know, as the young prodigy that he obviously was and his desire, i

mean, when you watch him on stage, the consummate entertainer. his borrowing of everything that inspired him from jimi hendrix to james brown to michael jackson to his ability. i mean, he was a complete -- i've never, over all these 30 years of me being an active artist and watching him time and time again, the late night shows, going to after hours clubs and happening with musicians and the way this man was continually pushing his boundaries. i mean, he was an unexhausted musician and inspiring and, of course, the music itself and the pop to the genres he's touched, i just, it just always blew my mind. you were always around the mystique of hi in maintaining that and his fashion -- everything. everything. i mean, it is what art is truly about. i just have to say yesterday --

stuart: let me ask you, after that first meeting with him in hamburg, 1988, did you keep in touch? did you know him later in your life? >> yes, yes, yes. i went on to, you know, his video director at the time was one that i ended up working with right after. yes, i went right from europe, i went right back to the states in a couple of weeks, and he invited me down to paisley park. then i was in minneapolis there with him and the concert there and a performance at his home. yeah, he was an incredible musician's musician too. a real, you know, he just adored new artists and the sharing and the amount of generosity on stage and just musicianship was just extraordinary. and he just never stopped, you know? he was endless. and, of course, i became friendly with mayte, and it went on. stuart: such a sad loss of talent and a sad loss for music in general. >> it's kind of shocking, because he's the type of artist you expected to see at 70 years

old just continually reshaping and redesigning the landscape of music. stuart: sad loss. taylor dayne, thanks very much for taking time out -- >> thank you. very hard to process a loss at such an age, and it's such a, somebody that has touched so much of us. stuart: thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. stuart: thank you. now, we are waiting for president obama and prime minister cameron to emerge from that door. that is 10 downing street. that is the official residence of the prime minister of england. britain, i should say. and the two of them will be appearing, walking out of that door -- >> they will. stuart: -- shortly, we believe. >> they've had a bit of a bromance. i don't know if you remember when david cameron came to the states, and he went to a college basketball game with president obama, pictured courtside eating a hot dog, and mr. obama promising to teach him the rules of basketball if he would teach

mr. obama the rules of cricket. stuart: ah, the door is open. i see a lot of aides -- [laughter] >> it's like a clown car, they just keep coming. stuart: that's ap enormous number of people. the last ones out have to be the president and the prime minister. >> you would think. no, no. stuart: they're closing the door. the reason -- now, prime minister cameron wants britain to stay in europe. >> yes. stuart: and there's a vote on that on june the 23rd. >> yeah. stuart: he wants britain to stay in europe, so he has invited pram to come over to -- president obama to come over to england and back up -- >> lucky for him it just happens to be the queen's 90th birthday so he could look like it was a visit by the president and first lady, but no doubt he's called him in to help his cause. stuart: i wonder what president obama's going to say? how enthusiastic will he will -- >> i wonder if he's going to be asked about all the criticism he's received for hid -- his

op-ed that's ruffled some feathers, because people are saying you have no business telling us what we should and shouldn't be doing. stuart: yes. that's an important opinion piece in the telegraph which is a conservative newspaper. >> it is. a paper whose readers would probably prefer to get out of the e.u. stuart: but the president is saying, no, you really ought to stay in. specifically, he says stay in because group needs help with the migrant crisis. yes. it's one of the main reasons they don't want to be part of the e.u., so he's talking at -- stuart: he also says we need your help to stay in europe and help with climate change. >> that's not going to resonate, believe me. stuart: i think to address the issue of sovereignty would be better off. >> that's what it's all about. david cameron believes he won concessions from brussels that are good enough to enable britain to stay in, but they will have more autonomy, they

won't be put under rules and regulations dealing with law. stuart: ladies and gentlemen, you've got a couple of guys with british accents. both of us are americans, by the way -- >> yes, we are. stuart: but we're droning on about whether the brits should stay in europe or not, and we're saying this because our president, president obama, is there right now opening the door -- another posse. >> how many people are in there? [laughter] it's like the tardis in dr. who. it looks so tuneny on the outside. -- tiny on the outside. stuart: we keep droning on because our president is there trying to convince the brits to stay in europe, and you and i don't want it. >> we don't, no. younger people in the u.k. do. they believe the future is within the e.u., but those of us who experienced the european common market realize you put a lot of money in and get very little out. stuart: and there they are. now, whether they approach microphones immediately or whether they drive off, i'm not sure where they're heading at this moment. no, they're straight across the street.

>> see ya later. stuart: they may be going to a venue of some sort where they can address the media. i don't know whether -- >> oh, here we go. stuart: maybe they'll come through those doors. pretty soon we're going to hear from the president of the united states as to why he's there supporting the brits to stay in europe. no doubt we'll hear from prime minister cameron as well about why he's invited president obama. >> it's going to be a bit of a love fest, because the president is there to tout what david cameron has been telling the country. in fact, the government in the u.k. has put out a pamphlet saying why they should stay in the e.u. which has been controversial because taxpayers are paying for this, taxpayers who may not agree. stuart: again, you may ask why are we spending so much time -- >> it's important for the u.s. stuart: and for the world actually. because if the brits leave, if they walk away from europe -- and they've been in europe for 42 years -- they walk away at this moment in time, then others will walk away.

>> i think there's a very good chance of that. they're a key part of the e.u. even though they don't share the currency, they are a key part. and if they believe it could, as you say, lead to a domino effect. stuart: i see that door opening again. i'm always intrigued, i want to know who's coming out of it. that's not 10 downing street, it's london as you can see from the bug on the top of the screen. definitely -- >> i think it's a meeting hall across the street from 10 downing street. stuart: they walked straight across. i'm waiting just to see if our president walks out of that door. he's not coming yet. they're gesticulating, telling him where to go. >> they will always have been talking about the fight against isis, the situation in syria and, you know, the role that the u.k. and the u.s. are playing in that. stuart: now, on that note, you brought us the story earlier today of an isis guy in america who has been arrested, and he spilled the beans to authorities here saying that they had a plan to bring in more isis fighters

into america through the mexican border. >> yes. stuart: that is, seems to me, to be extremely bad news for president obama. >> something people have feared, and we're just having it basically verified that that, indeed, is part of the plans. he sent plans to -- this person was arrested in minnesota, sent the plans to isis leaders in syria and said, hey, look, here's the route you can take. just come up through mexico. get right across the border and launch attacks in the united states. stuart: there was another negative this morning for president obama, and that is we in america will spend $8 million of taxpayer money to buy 33 tons of heavy water from iran. getting rid of that heavy water which you can use to develop atomic weapons, getting rid of that water was part of the iran/america nuke deal. nobody else would buy it. >> right. stuart: so we, the taxpayers, now have to buy and spend $8 million on heavy water from iran. >> yeah. stuart: that's not a plus. >> purely on the hopes other

people will follow suit and buy that heavywater, enabling iran to bring down the supplies, if you like, of this heavywater. we're just doing it in the hopes other people will follow suit. stuart: so here you have two world leaders heavily involved in the migrant crisis and the iran nuke deal, and now they're meeting about whether britain should stay in europe. the two world leaders agree, a lot of people in britain do not agree. >> they don't. the latest poll out of the u.k. today basically split right down the middle. there's also quite a large number of undecided and, you know, it will be interesting to see who makes the best points in the coming, we've got about eight weeks before the vote. it's going to be close. stuart: yeah. i don't care what the president or prime minister cameron says when they do emerge and say something, it's not going to affect the stock market. >> not at all. stuart: period. no immediate financial impact on britain -- i'm sorry, on america or anywhere in the immediate future. what's happening on wall street at the moment is some big name technology stocks are way, way down.

that's hurting the whole market. it's hurting the dow industrials, because we've got apple as a dow stock, microsoft as a dow stock, we've got google -- >> alphabet, yep. stuart: alphabet, i should say. they are all down significantly. all right. what's next? i'm still -- okay. we've just had the two minute warning. >> they're getting realize. stuart: the two minute warning means this: the president will appear in two minutes. now, he's not always punctual and definitely on time -- >> no. stuart: d but we got the two minute warning. >> they're both very eloquent speakers, they're both very good. stuart: they are. >> for what it's worth. stuart: opening the door. somebody's going in this time. it's about time i hand it over to neil cavuto, and he can handle the opening of the doors. neil cavuto can handle what our president's going to say about the brits staying or leaving europe. are you there, neil cavuto? neil: i am. and i'm listening with great interest to you two brits -- [laughter] talking about this. because the doors kind of remind

me of the wizard of oz. [laughter] who's come to talk to the great oz. [laughter] are all your doors that tall in britain? i mean, my goodness. stuart: look, neil, it's now 12 noon almost exactly. it's your time, so get on with it. good bye. neil: all right, jeez. the attitude, all right. sorry about the war, right, stuart? [laughter] all right. here's where we stand. we are about a minute away from the president and prime minister of britain, apparently they're trying to patch over some differences, as stu and ashley pointed out, the brits are a little upset, probably very much upset that the president asserted himself in this great argument back and forth as to whether the brits should extract themselves from the european union. they think that that's not his place. never mind though that brits, of course, when they come to the united states have pontificated on internal policies that we've had. for example, raging debates on
