5:00 pm
mccartney owens born eight pounds eight ounces. i said they should have named her -- >> stop! >> what a beautiful picture congratulations, we love you, we miss you! so happy for you. >> "bulls & bears" starts right now. >> another democrat entering the 2020 democratic field. beto o'rourke is ready making way through some of his comments today. we will play them for you. this is "bulls & bears" thank you for joining us, i am david asman. generally take christina -- liz peek, jonathan honig and -- >> and willing to serve as a next president of the united states of america. this is a defining moment of truth for the country and every single one of us. >> former texas congressman already hitting the trail today in iowa following the announcement and wasting no time during several of his democratic challengers.
5:01 pm
and throwing his support behind the green new deal. >> will criticize the green new deal for being too bold or unmanageable. i will tell you what.i have not seen anything better that addresses a singular crisis that we face. a crisis that could at its worst, lead to extinction. make sure the worlds greatest superpower, the greatest democracy, the greatest economy brings everything that we have to this unique challenge. literally. not to be melodramatic but literally the future of the world depends on us right now, here where we are. [applause] let's find a way to do this. >> the future of the world. o'rourke issuing some dire warnings about an impending environmental disaster if we don't get on board something at the green new deal. is he right? >> yes, sure. you know, little old me is just one vote. i'm just one vote but i am a jilted fiscal conservative vote and very open-minded. when i hear this guy come out i
5:02 pm
want to hear what he has to say. and what does he do? the first thing he does, he goes into fantasyland about the deal that even the proponents of it backed away from. and then he goes into the al gore dance. no al gore, who 14 years ago said we are all going to be gone in 10 years. he now changes it to 12 years. he has already lost my ear and he was already lost my vote on the first day and i don't think i am alone. i am tired of these people, they think we're a bunch of marks and they think that we are stupid and i think enough is enough at this point in time. >> my god. gary, i think you are right that this kind of alarmism -- >> of course i am right! >> ill not so with a majority of the country. i would say the freight democrat jumping into a field, a very bold progressive, he probably had to embrace the
5:03 pm
green new deal.i think it's awkward that he's trying to position himself a little as a moderate. his voting record is more moderate than a lot of people on the far left. it is more like amy klobuchar. i think he's actually got kind of a thin road to walk here. maybe he felt this was the one thing that he could kind of buy into that would give him some enthusiasm on the left. i think it is a mistake for him because i think it is foolish. >> hold on a second because we have a special guest will bring in who has a little expertise on the subject. patrick moore, cofounder of greenpeace. great to see you patrick, thank you for being here. you heard what beto o'rourke said, he said, not to be too dramatic or melodramatic. but it's going to be the end of the world in 12 years. what is your reaction? >> well, my reaction is he must be following the exact same line as aoc. i don't have these people get this idea that the world is
5:04 pm
going to come to an end, the environment has been getting cleaner for 50 years. the air is cleaner, the water is cleaner now and in our part of the world. it is true that china and india and indonesia and countries in asia and some in africa, need to do more work. but they're coming up out of poverty now as well. and they are demanding more environmental standards. i simply don't understand how anybody could think that their children won't be able to breathe the air in 10 years. what is he thinking? >> if i may just interject and say what he is thinking. if you look at the items he mentioned, environmental, healthcare, money and politics and he has talked about racial equality. those are four topics that resident really well with a younger and far left. they did research on that so i feel he is trying to cater to
5:05 pm
that group like liz said, he has been relatively moderate thus far. we've not really hurt his opinion on anything so he's playing his cards right. i think it was a little vain to come out in vanity fair and say did not mean to prepare for his speech at all. it comes out of him. he can still prove himself going forward. >> hold on one second jonathan, i want to throw something in here. we are able to catch up with alexandria ocasio-cortez, the author of the green new deal and here is what she had to say about all this. let's play the tape and jonathan, then get your reaction. go ahead. >> well i mean, it is a winning issue. we are talking about 67 percent of iowa voters in the caucus support the green new deal and now 91 percent -- [inaudible] clearly it is a jobs plan, a huge turnaround plan. we're talking about money and investments and not just throwing it away in infrastructure but getting us to cheaper energy and you know,
5:06 pm
really reinvigorating our economy. [laughter] >> you know, it all sounds pretty promising. was not mentioned david however, is the cost. and this is the irony. you know, liberals love the environment. but they hate people. people who actually live in the environment. so things like adeno, air travel and fossil fuels, they actually benefit my and kind. and as our guest talked about the more fossil fuels we burn them better mankind is not pure my question is, have any of these dire warnings from the environmental warnings ever played out? this is i mean we've been talking about the world, global warming and the oceans overflowing for years now. has any of this ever played out? >> patrick? >> no, none of it has ever played out. the real irony is he's a beto
5:07 pm
on one hand is saying there will be these refuges of the border but he's talking about the wall being taken down. what kind of a position is that?and more portly, the real climate refugees of the people from canada were going down south in the winter to get away from the cold.not the other way around. >> patrick, let's talk specifically about the green new deal.there are a couple of things mentioned. one, we want to be off all carbon energy in the course of about a dozen years. i am wondering what that would do to the economy. not to mention the fact that they want to retrofit every single structure, building in the united states. to be completely green, completely carbon free. what would happen to our economy if we were to do this? >> well i guess they're not going to be able to use machines like bulldozers and cranes that use fossil flows to retrofit all of the high-rises in the united states. it's completely and utterly
5:08 pm
ridiculous peer that is 85 percent of the energy. if you cut 85 percent of the energy you completely destroy and collapse the entire economy. including the growing of food. and this generally leads to starvation. so i would think that people better look at this closely. because it took one week and for them to put this green new deal together. these people are basically fronts for this justice democracy and the sunrise movement. this is an extremely radical movement that basically thinks that venezuela is a model. >> patrick, you're very educated, in your judgment, if the climate on the global continue to warm, i guess it is warming as it isnow, what is the impact ? >> the fact is, in 300 years, the global climate has only warmed about one to 1.5 degrees celsius. is nothing compared to what is
5:09 pm
gone through in past ages when life flourished in a much warmer world than it is today. these people cannot see back more than hundred and 50 years. and it's only halfway from the little ice age started to end. people starved during the little ice age around 1700. before that in the middle of a warm., the vikings colonized greenland and were able to grow food there. they had to evacuate as the little ice age came in. and this is just the most recent small swing in global temperature.going back to the ice ages and the glaciation that has occurred all through the centuries, they know nothing. what they're doing is proposing a catastrophe out of nothing. >> robert -- thank you very much for the explanation there. i think jonathan is actually spot on when he made the comparison. if immigration to republican climate to the democrats, what is the commonality? fear. i want to get your take on the fact that there are several
5:10 pm
house republicans, leaders suggesting maybe we should go ahead. patrick i'm sorry. that we should go ahead and vote on the green new deal. what do you think about having that vote here? do you think will change anything? >> i think there should be a vote on it so we can count heads as to how many people are crazy enough to go along with this thing. it is so stupid and ridiculous to suggest the 85 percent of all energy should be eliminated in 10 years. how are they going to -- as i said in the beginning, the real key is how are they going to grow food. for all the people in the country. they must think that food comes from the supermarket. no, there are millions of farmers and truck drivers that bring in. you will not be running in with an electric car. it's just not going to happen. and even so, batteries in electric cars have to be charged with electricity. and most of the electricity
5:11 pm
today's made with fossil fuels. >> is all about getting control, getting government control, aoc will he tell you where to drive. if you can drive, what kind of fuel to use. it seems to me if the gop wanted to take an approach, it should be one of property rights. no one has the right to pollute. no one has the right to influence your air but you just want to ban fossil fuels outright, ignores the tremendous value that they provide every human on this earth. >> jonathan, i think the other point is that someone needs to be aware , it is not just a vested interest of the fossil fuel industries that are fighting some of these measures, there is enormous vested interest, and money behind the green movement. this kind of alarmism brings
5:12 pm
and grants and all kinds of things that this effort lives on. >> patrick can speak to that. you probably saw some of that at greenpeace. did you, patrick? >> yes they see organizations like greenpeace start with noble intentions. then they turned into a business fundraising and making money. and then they turn into a racket. that's what's happening here. this is a racket. they are scaring people. recruiting people, classrooms and schools of children. it is child abuse to use children in this way. that's why we don't let them vote and we don't let them drink and don't let them drive cars. because they are not old enough to appear there also not old enough to know how to run the whole country. >> patrick moore, we thank you very much for coming in. we really appreciate it. please come back again. >> any time. thank you for having me on. >> thank you so much. he thought the largest ever admissions scandal for college could get bigger but now it is pouring in. the financial fallout next. >> think about the hundreds of thousands of kids out there tonight who are studying hard, mom and dad don't have a lot of money, don't have a lot, they're working their rear ends

5:17 pm
if parent has filed a $500 million civil suit accusing 45 of defrauding and causing emotional stress. the parents is her son was not admitted to some colleges because of wealthy parents that lied, cheated and bribed to get their children in instead. actress, felicity huffman and lori loughlin are among the defendants named in the lawsuit. as is william singer, the accused mastermind of this scheme. apparently working with
5:18 pm
prosecutors. let's bring a criminal defense attorney, andrew -- does parent have a case at all here?it's a lot of money? >> i think that we have got a story that everyone in the country agrees on. but as this law suits go it's ridiculous. there is no reasonable possibility that the lawsuits are going to be successful. the idea that someone has to prove both that their son or daughter would otherwise have gone in and that they were damaged as a result of this, it's not going to happen. >> have actually been reporting on the story for quite some time. i fly there is justice eco-causing where the wealthy live and they're not even doing as a steppingstone. you have families that see it as a path to middle-class. whereas the rich are seeing this as a status symbol. getting rid of uncertainty. if you look at some schools involved is not just ivy league economy of university of texas and wake forest as well. i almost see that his parents never leave them believing in
5:19 pm
the capability of the children. because they had to cheat to get them in. but do think that this shows college is not the great equalizer anymore and that the system is just completely broken? >> i think everybody would agree that throughout history, there is unfairness at some point in colleges. where there is a donation of a building or some sort of legacy program. those are the legal ways to do it. now we have this illegal program that seems to be getting kids into schools that do not deserve to get into the schools. and we are seeing articles coming out of hollywood where people are supporting these actresses and the actors who are involved in this. and somehow supporting or understanding that it was happening. it is just mind-boggling. >> i cannot imagine. i mean i have to say, i have heard a lot of people talk about college admissions. watched a lot of films go through the process and it is a pretty horrible process. for sure, most parents want to do everything they can to improve their kids odds.
5:20 pm
i've never heard of something like this. i have to assume this is an incredibly narrow thing that has happened. -- the systems across the country, because of whatever it was. 50, 60 even 75 people doing this. i have never heard of something like this. what do you think? >> i cannot find a chance particularly similar in terms of a college cheating scandal making its way through the criminal prosecution process. this is a valid law that they brought against the parents and the people cheating and receiving the money on the other side. the u.s. attorney was very specific when he was talking about the charges the other day at the press conference. he says there's no evidence that the colleges themselves were complicit in what was going on. i don't think it is something that reaches to the tops of the colleges but it's something that needs to be looked at the way the test scores are assessed as well as the
5:21 pm
athletic programs. >> the entity is that it comes at a time when more and more companies are saying that it is not important to have a college education. apple, ibm, among them. how much of this is really about status and were you surprised as i was, at the dollar figures involved here? hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars to get your kids i mean is this all about the status for the uber wealthy? because employers are not looking for this by and large frequency of lori loughlin 's daughter who branded this idea that she's a student. that's what these people are doing. living a life of the appearance of what they want in their life. whether it is going to usc are going to university of san diego. it does not matter. it is just that they're trying to make something happen to look like something. >> a tremendous disservice to
5:22 pm
their kids. >> to that point, there was another lawsuit. two students went up to eight universities involved. if this becomes a class action lawsuit, is there a case? i know i should not asked two classes but could the students lose their degree if there midway through their education process? >> so, the first question about the lawsuits. i don't think there is a reasonable lawsuit that will be successful because the idea is that you have to show because of this, somebody did not get in. there was some sort of cause and effect. it has to be something relatively direct in that connection.as well as a loss. that even if they would've gone income of this with the damage would have been. to the second question, and i'm sorry i forgot the second question. >> it was regarding whether the kids can lose their degree or be kicked out of school legally. >> yes, absolutely. i do think that they are facing issues with regard to expulsion. usc has come out so that they will look at each case case by case. i don't know that, i think
5:23 pm
there are academic rules regarding that. they do indicate they can expel students as well as take away degrees. >> forgive me but i have to ask interest in breaking news that we received about connecticut supreme court decision on remington. the gun maker and remington. they have ruled that remington can be sued for making the rifle that was used in the sandy hook massacre. i'm wondering what effect do you think this will have on the gun industry? >> any mass litigation, this idea that you can go back to look at tobacco litigation. the idea that you can sue these makers of guns or any sort of dangerous type of item, is going to have a tremendous effect. it will result in not only an individual that was harmed by guns but every lawyer out there who is ready to file the lawsuits to go after it. >> andrew we have to leave it
5:24 pm
at that. thank you so much for coming in. good to see you. the top military general blowing the whistle when he says google is doing in china. when he just said that has some folks up in arms. >> frankly, it may be not a full characterization of the way it really is. it's more of a direct benefit. she can stay with you to finish her senior year. things will be tight but, we can make this work. ♪ now... grandpa, what about your dream car? this is my dream now. principal we can help you plan for that .

♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >> your tony the google an american company supposedly, is refusing to work with the department of defense that is doing work with china in china in a way that at least indirectly benefits the chinese government. is that correct? >> the work that google is doing in china is indirectly benefiting the chinese military. we watch with great concern when partners work in china knowing that there is that indirect benefit. in fact indirect may not be the full characterization of it.
5:29 pm
it's more of a direct benefit to the chinese military. >> general joe dunford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff shocking -- google announced they were withdrawing from u.s. military contract because when they reached out to get a statement we were redirected. where is the moral compass here?>> i think is quite unimaginable.i think that sergei and larry should be put in front of the joint chiefs of staff and explain themselves. without security and safety and military, we have nothing and just to think that they would do something that helps the chinese but basically tell us, not for the us, i may have to find microsoft, bing or yahoo.
5:30 pm
>> their model, don't be evil. don't aid evil. and this company whose whole business is built on trust and privacy. i just cannot imagine this isn't doing tremendous damage to their reputation. both with chinese in china and also american audience. and it comes at a time when you see facebook is positioning toward privacy. i don't think many senate committees think google by aiding the chinese military is really doing some serious damage to their reputation and their bottom line. >> and i think it also comes at a time when elizabeth warren and now several other people, money for president are talking about breaking up the companies because of the monopoly power they have. there is no company after the has a bigger monopoly than google. so i think it seems there is little vulnerable on the public relations front. let's also remember, it is not just a i where google is helping china. it is also on surveillance, all
5:31 pm
kinds of surveillance products. which by the way, aides to the incarceration and -- of muslims in china. this is pretty appalling stuff and i think google has a lot to answer for here. >> to jump this point, it is no longer, don't be evil. it is do the right thing. the model change when they became alphabet. we are talking about the connection with china. china the actual government owns $5 trillion of the chinese economy. so google will probably play the card that maybe it was an indirect benefit but they must have known given the governments influence. i think david brought a good point up in the intro that google did not want to move for with the jedi pentagon cloud computing project with $10 billion because it went against the corporate conduct. and yet, they must know that there is some type of indirect benefit in china and to the military there. given the government influence. >> there should be a lot of

5:33 pm
to assist in repression, i can understand that not want government contracts but to assist in repression, you have to wonder what the google leaders are thinking. >> by the way, is not like the united states is totally had on some of these technologies.on ai for example, china last year published over 50 percent of the important papers on ai. which were kind of viewed as a sign that they have gone ahead of us in terms of technology but maybe google should decide, you are doing this on your own. we are not going to help you if we are not going to help america. >> quite a story. we are glad we could bring it to you today. meanwhile the president gearing up for his first veto of his presidency. this after a major senate vote on the emergency declaration. we are live in capitol hill with chad for r the latest, nex. . $4.95. no matter what you trade, at fidelity it's just $4.95 per online u.s. equity trade.

5:39 pm
resolution yesterday. it's about the right number. about the same number thatyou found on some of these other resolutions. some people pointed out they did not get the 60 , that is a psychological level in the senate. you need 60 votes to end a filibuster. we thought there was going to be one more, thom tillis, republican from north carolina that faces an election next in a swing state just before the vote. he went to the senate floor and said he would vote no on this. he would vote to sustain the national emergency and he'd been one of the first several weeks ago saying i do not think this is right. he broke off there. there will be the key. talk about the senate being eight votes short. what really matter is the house of representatives. there are about 40 votes short there we need about 285 , that we two thirds based on the vote a couple of weeks ago. we are expecting the president will veto this tomorrow. and we are ready hearing from democratic sources that the vote in the house to attempt the override which is likely to be unsuccessful would be on 26 march. there was some question earlier in the day because i tried to
5:40 pm
pin down the house speaker, nancy pelosi. as to whether or not they will go through the override vote. because that would be a bad vote for some freshman moderate democrats from battleground districts. that's a problem for them. the vote to override, is just not a good vote. there's a reason why democrats won the house. which she says it will in fact go forward and for the 26th of march. >> how do you assess the politics here? why did thom tillis backtrack on his support of this measure? and i mean i get susan collins and lisa murkowski. there was kind of looking for safe haven i guess. but everyone else, is a polling showing may be that voters actually want a secure border? and maybe this is kind of a stupid thing to do on the part of republicans? >> collins will have a competitive reelection again come a swing state. the politics are there. they were really working on thom tillis along with some other senators to get them to align with the president. keep in mind the republican

convention in 2020 will be in charlotte, north carolina. there is also some whispers out there that maybe there will be a primary challenge to him. certainly he had problems in the general peer we hear names like mark meadows, chair of the freedom caucus. also mark walker a republican congressman from north carolina. recently chair the republican senate committee which is a group way bigger than meadows group with the largest group of republicans in the house of representatives. it is not completely off the table any of the scenarios but you can imagine some could really have a primary challenge where problems with conservative voters if they oppose the president. even if they would have the problem on the other side in the general election. >> thank you. >> chad, you just talked about nancy pelosi and the fact that they will go ahead and possibly override this veto. but i read your note and another in u.s. history you said it's only happened 111 times. so why even risk the failure?
5:42 pm
>> sometimes you want to play out the process. i also point out that the last attempted and unsuccessful voter override, a veto override came in february 2016. that was after the house and senate voted to repeal obama care, president obama vetoed it and paul ryan then would speak of -- the speak of the house and we are going to another process. there were 50 votes short. and that is a good vote. for republicans to the campaign since 2009 saying we are against obama care. we want to repeal and replace obamacare. for those republicans to be on the record one more time saying, we did all we could to try and repeal obama care even though it was unsuccessful, that's a problem. but me -- maybe nancy pelosi figures -- it's a thoroughly vote. those opposed the national emergency would have problems and they can vote their way. and vote in their district. remember for the moderates it helps for them to have votes with the president and also to
5:43 pm
show some distance between them and the democratic leadership of nancy pelosi. >> this is gary kaltbaum. i need a politics lesson so if the question is a little nacve i apologize. yesterday, the president was able, because of safety reasons, to declare boeing to ground the jets without a vote but today, for safety reasons, the president is not able to declare an emergency and then you go -- what is the difference? >> there is no statute that directly deals with boeing or aviation. what they have done in the way that the white house crafted the use of the national emergency, was very specific here. you can have an effort to try to rebuke them on boeing if you really wanted to. i think anyone wants to do that. and there is no real political benefit. i think people are concerned
5:44 pm
