>> an oil revolution, oasis petroleum is going to bring out more oil. and up by summer. >> brenda: jonas, what do you think of that. >> a natural gas glut form, do not go there. >> oil, it says oil. >> brenda: neil next. >> from the grand old party to the grand old state. hi, everybody, i'm neil cavuto and fox on top on the over the top bait and switch from republicans, not over the bain can't capital they think, but their views on this, i don't know, capitalism thing and i'm not just talking about the guys making their pitch in south carolina, i'm talk about the lawmakers already in d.c. it's about a party that rails against big spending, but won't cut it. demands steep cuts in entitlements and won't do it, call for bold leadership and won't provide it. so fixed in the moment selling themselves and won't have

their party sold while they're at it. and charles, my issue with republicans is, you've got to get reading from the same choir book here and you're not and furthermore, you're not even bothering to sing the tune. but of course, some voices are more out of tune than others, i wouldn't even, at this point, and let's just, you know, the elephant in the room no pun intended, but newt gingrich is really a cry baby. >> come on. >> i didn't mean it that way, ben, it slipped out (laughter) . >> neil:. the reality is, the guy who says he's a capitalist, he's not only attacking mitt romney, he's attacking the pillar of the republican party. >> neil: later on they're going to be doing this on the other shows, today. and we'll touch on it ourselves. i think it comes back to a bigger issue and mr. gasperino, i'll raise it with you, that you know, there's abouten some concern that the republicans rpt consistent when it comes to the deficit talk and not following up when it comes to serious cuts, but not following up. when it comes to providing leadership on these issues, but not giving it at all and i

think that the message to the public is, who is on first? >> right, but you know, they are not in the majority. and i think you've got to cut them a little bit of a break here. >> neil: no, no, no, control the house, they control the house. >> and they will-- >> they control the house and have a chance. >> and nothing is going to happen with them controlling the house and not the senate. >> neil: even the ones in the house, even the ones representing the committee, super committee. no one did it. >> pull ryan put out a-- >> i a lone, that's what you call a mixed message, dagen. >> he put out a great plan. by the way, you've got a president who blocked them. >> neil: and no republicans backed? don't you see what i'm talking about? there's no consistent universal message on the part of republicans to say, this crap stops. >> and the message, too-- >> the only thing consistent they're not democrats and republicans, they're all politicians and worried about appeasing the people who are going to reelect them to office. >> ang do you think that-- >> and boehner as bad as harry

reid? >> we're talking put your money where your action is, and they don't it from ear marks. dagen's point, all the politicians put their finger in the air and the winds keep changing aen one week, the americans and conservatives, the next week, they're leb rals. the next week, they're confused and they can't follow, follow what they say is their own religion e ben stein? >> what? [laughter] >> good morning. >> as long as politicians can vote to spend the taxpayer's money and there by reelect themselves and get that prestigious cushy life in washington, they're going to. i think mr. payne is right. you don't need a weather man, don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, it's blowing all difference ways all different times, but the constant is money. if you can spend other guy's money to get yourself elected they'll do it, money is a cons standpoint, truth is a variable. >> neil: go ahead, adam. >> no, neil, i disagree with

everyone has said. because you put your finger on something here, neil, which is that the republican party is completely inconsistent on the subject of capitalism. by the way, the democrats are, too. what's really going on here is that the establishment e at least the democrats are-- >> i days agree. >> neil: let me in i want to be clear and maybe i wasn't. that you have a couple of the candidates saying that newt gingrich was right. i think rick perry joined him in that attack and even though unts hadman divorced himself from it and santorum said it was overkill. it's not a consistent message. i know it's an election year, but even among the candidates and beyond, there is a sense that republicans aren't on the same page. continue. >> to my point, philosophically, the establishment democrats and republicans are far closer to each other in their support of capitalism than the left, far left which hates capitalism and the fair right which heats capitalism, too, and that's what you're calling out and

the tea parties are not capitallists. >> listen. >> they're pop list. >> i don't know if i said that. i don't know how you compare like barney frank with eric cantor, the same people? they are proposing two denver visions of government. the republican-- >> no doubt i'm not getting into a debate. charlie, i'm not getting into a the division of government, i'm getting into the fact that republicans at this stage, are not giving clear code to defense of capitalism. of capitalism. >> to a certain degree, adam was right. and to a certain degree. the establishment republicans have been against the tea party candidates who came in with the mandate of the people and said, listen, let's do this the right way. >> they don't have the mandate of the people? >> the mid term election. >> the republicans did know the like the tea party and-- >> because they're really, they don't like government, they don't like overriding government-- >> they want to cut every single program.

>> neil: a news flash, the tea party elected 85 congress mane. >> a news flash, they don't control the country. the tea party does not control the country. >> neil: he's right when he says the establishment republicans did not flip over them, leak the bastard stepchildren-- >> and that group, you make it sound like the establishment republicans today are like the rockefeller republicans. they're not. >> neil: yes, they are. they most certainly are. >> hold on, charlie, please. >> the tea party was born out of one thing, and neil might have been the only person on the air at the time who was on that side and that is the government bailouts of the banks. they said that is enough. >> absolutely right. >> that's exactly what gave birth to the tea party. >> and by the way-- >> well, everybody, i don't think, i don't think. >> that was the problem. >> i don't think that's the tea party was the 0 nl one that decried that. >> and let me finish. >> go ahead. >> that was the problem is that in a capitalist society,

you fail. you do know the have the government come in and rescue you. and so, to say that the tea partiers are anti-capitalists and anti-business is horse hooey. >> neil: let me put that in a different way, please. >> they're not a majority of the republican party. >> neil: go ahead, adam. >> dagen has a good point, but i would say it differently, which is the establishment, republicans and democrats supported tarp and did not want to let the financial stem crash. >> why did the house vote it down the first time. >> and the tea party and charles payne did, that's an honest debate. >> why did the house vote it down the first time. >> and you know it. >> i covered it, establishment republicans voted it down. >> they made a terrible, terrible mistake and pulled themselves together and got it right. >> and they voted down, market went down 600 points, give me a break. >> neil: and months later we were down another 4,000. >> then went back up to

6,000,or 12,000. >> neil: the statement on paper sounded good when i came up with it. my only point, ben stein, in all seriousness, republicans risk have a vague all over the map message and their message should be, if this is true to their party dna, we embrace capitalism. we like capitalism for all its pain. we don't like a lot of the other stuff that goes on and serious when we say we're going to cut and serious when we say the cuts are going to be substantial and when we are in the majority in the house, we're going to act like it and offer substantial cuts and not the weenie cuts that they proposed and more weenie phied when it gets to the senate. >> i think there's something to it. the republican party have an awful lot of people in it for cultural reasons, pro-life, pro religion, in it because they're pro military. republicans party has a lot of reasons why people join it. >> neil: yes but would you say they're acting like weenies right now. >> they're acting up

politicians, right now. >> you look up politiciansen in the dictionary and you see weenies. >> they're synonyms. >> why they say a plan for airline americans is proving mitt romney and the free market, well, right on the money. up next from from solyndra-gate and we report and you might want to throw up or at least throw something at your tv. and make them simple, intuitive, and available to all. distill all that data. make information instinctual, visual. introducing trade architect, td ameritrade's empowering web-based trading platform. take control of your portfolio today. trade commission-free for 60 days, and we'll throw in up $600 when you open an account.
