[captioning made possible by fox news channel] neil: don't you hate it when it happens, you tell all americans a your massive healthcare plan will not cut benefits and the top money watch dog says, well, yes, they will kind of. that is kind of what happened this week. so, before they rush the bill through should we be wondering about other surprises that could be in there? i'm neil cavuto and we have ben stein, charles payne, adam lashinsky, lee gallagher. >> i would be surprised if there were not other surprises. it is like iran is building a nuke. ok, we know. neil: that was a fox news alert. >> here is what is really scary about this. everything from the cost, how we are going to pay for it, and then the medicare advantage thing, i think, obviously has a lot of seniors up in arms. even this thing, the one thing i'm worried about is reneging on the drug companies. they were browbeat into coming into the deal and more than likely congress will extract more money from them. neil: we s

. >> can't get enough of that huggie bear, huggie bear ♪ "cavuto on business" is up next. >> presidentbama hammering home his new $586 billion healthcare plan this weekend and the big selling point, it pays for itself with something washington has never achieved before -- savings. hello, everybody. i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. will the's get reaction. matt, the government saving money. i can't even say it with a straight face. >> it doesn't make sense to me. in an ideal world we would cut the pork and be able to pay for this bill. however, the government has never done this in the past. if you look at the plan, he talks about cutting $500 billion. that's coming from medicare which is already in deep problems. he is shifting it from one area to another n my mind, there is no way they are going to save and it is going to cause a great deficit. >> ben, you are the resident historian here. has the government ever been able to save money on a plan this ambitious? >> never, and it is a sign of an amateurish politician that is saying he is going to take it out of waste, fraud and abu

i am neil cavuto. it just keeps coming from nancy pelosi. they have gone from manufacturing to adjust them maniacs, and now the speaker is saying that the health-care protesters could be downright dangerous or inciting violence. one person has become somewhat of a rock star in this in a moment -- in this movement. what do you think about and you could be it's not intentionally but certainly unintentionally leading to violence -- if not intentionally? >> this is not about race. this is about the american people being outraged and upset about the overbearing government, the policies that are coming out of this current administration. they are radical. if people do not want government-funded health care. people do not want cap and trade or a tax on energy. that will make our energy prices go up. how is that going to help anyone? neil: the speaker, earlier on, her remarks have been dismissive of you and your organization and other town hall protesters, and i think now she is saying that the octane is ratcheted up, probably a poor analogy, but th

cavuto returning to you now.the latest headlines, log on to foxnews.com. >> so move up their tax ates and they move. lawmakers in maryland finding it out the hard way. first they were trying to pass the so-called millionaire tax to bring in more revenue. makes sense, huh? lots of folks fled the state. guess what fled with them? tax revenue. lawmakers in d.c. are talking about doing similar things, a lesson from their own. >> i hope they learn a lesson. it's not just maryland. it happened in california. a lot of people moved to nevada. it's simple. capital businesses and people are going to move to where they're treated best. you have a great example of what happens when you go too far. it's not just here. in switzerland, switzerland is made up of cantons and they get to white their own tax policy. when one raises taxes too high, they go the other way. it doesn't just hurt rich people but it hurts employers because businesses move and employees are out of jobs. neil: it is harder to do it to move from a country, b

tonight, mitt romney is going to be a special guest on the neil cavuto program. you do not want to miss it, mitt romney at 6:00 p.m. on fox business. is acorn really cut off? a taxpayer funded web site created by the white house is routing health-care advocates to the group. is the stimulus failing to stimulate? the governor of pennsylvania comes in to answer that question. tools are uncomplicated? nothing complicated about a pair of 10 inch hose clamp pliers. you know what's complicated? shipping. shipping's complicated. not really. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service shipping is easy. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that's not complicated. come on. how about...a handshake. alright. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. it can be tough living with copd... but i try not to let it slow me down. i go down to the pool for a swim... get out and dance... even play a little hide-n-seek. i'm breathing better... with spiriva. announcer: spiriva is the only once-daily inh

i am real pelosi. -- i am neil cavuto. apology accepted. but for what? it looks pretty tame compared to this. >> we have that disaster after disaster. there is a run on the banks. and now, this. going from incompetence to complacency, and there are questions about integrity. people are asking now, is this man simply not cut out for the job? >> hear, hear! neil: that is not "monty python ." that is the way it is there. we are getting equally feisty here? this is probably a big shock to you, this big reaction we are having to this dustup in congress yesterday, huh? >> there has not been a lot of attention paid to the incident last night in congress. it is really a non story in the u.k. i think he is right to apologize, and the apology was accepted by the president, but in britain, it is common for the prime minister to be accused of lying or of having no integrity whatsoever in the house of commons. this happens at least once a week during "prime minister's questions." neil: this is happening when the prime minister is in the room. for those of you who are

on neil cavuto. you are watching "your world", and the president is going to make a pitch in less than four hours for healthcare reform. was some are saying is a last- ditch effort on the day, that the finance committee chief of the senate, max baucus, has said that he will likely be going along without much if any republican support. we will be getting to that story and a lot more as well as the head of u.s. health insurer, who is probably tired of being vilified in this process, but all of this happening as we have this drama unfolding in mexico right now, and all of this eight years to the week from september 11, so this fear of flying remains out there. it is particularly pronounced in this country, and in all countries, this particular week. jonathan has been following it. talk about. not incredible timing. >> really, -- talk about ieerie if not incredible timing. >> i flew out of cancun airport where this plane departed from earlier today just a couple of books ago, and the security is pretty g

i'm neil cavuto. let's get right to it with our guests. lots of folks are signing on to it. are they going to regret it? the numbers back. everyone is mad at representative wilson for shouting "lie" and they should be mad at him. he shouldn't have done, that but in fact, the speech was wildly misleading. there is nowhere near enough savings in medicare without cutting rationing costs for seniors to pay for anything much. there is going to be rationing of medical care under this plan. there is no doubt about that. there is going to be a devastating effect on insurance companies. that's obviously true. there is so much misleading stuff going on in that speech, it's kind of terrifying. i think we are moving towards socialized medicine. i think that's what president obama wants us to move to, and it scares me, frankly. neil: overnight tracking polls were similarly received for bill clinton when he gave almost the exact same speech in september of 1993, indicating more support for what the president wants to do. what do you make of that and does it improve the prospects for some

i am neil cavuto.ow, word that public option is still very much an option, when senator saying he feels comfortable the democrats have the 60 votes -- one senator's saying he feels comfortable the democrats have the 60 votes to pass it -- one senator's saying that. another says not by a long shot -- one senator. did you vote for a package -- would you vote for a package that does not have the public option? >> i hope not. we are still in favor of the public option, and, frankly, i would have a hard time explaining to my constituents, the economics of the health care would work, and this will come together if we do not have a public option. that is the way i look at it. neil: in the senate, it looks like it is not an option, but you are correct to say that in the congress, it looks differently. would you vote against it? >> right now, i would not. it would have to look pretty darn good with a lot of other things that make the economics of it work. right now, i am not planning to vote for a bill that doe

i think he loves neil cavuto, personally. >> i really want the house to be seen from space. neil: it is christmas in washington. if you want it on health care, they will give rapid for you on health care. so many ornaments. all because so little time. christmas may be months away, but that is not stopping senator is from trying to outdo each other on health care. all sorts of amendments. try 564 of them all being considered as we speak. it is now closing in on $1 trillion. i guess i cannot be too surprised the pace of this is startling. >> this gives making sausage a bad name. you have three proposals, the house bill that was jammed through the house without any republican support. then you have the max baucus bill that literally changes every day. we're making this up as we go. it is probably not a good way to do business. is he giving away the shop in the process. >> the way they get the deficit neutrality does not make sense to me. the bill will assume that the congress in the next 10 years will cut medicare by $400 billion. we have not cut 40 cents out of medicare. it go

welcome, everybody, and neil cavuto. democratic leaders in a mad dash to avoid what some are fearing could be a reform crash, and they are really putting the legislative pedal to the metal today, continuing to go after health care insurance companies for scaring seniors, even though some of them were proven right. hours ago, nancy pelosi mixing a vote -- nixing a vote, and all of this as the massachusetts governor gets set to announce a replacement for senator ted kennedy's seat to to make sure that the democrats have another yea vote in the senate. bob barr joins us. what do you make of this? >> we call this in the south being hoisted on your own petard. this is an historic opportunity that we as a nation have to reform health care, and this is why we need to seize the moment. now, they have been shown to be the emperor with no clothing. the reason for the rush to judgment on getting health care legislation through has nothing to do with an historic opportunity but has everything to do with the fact that the body blows,

spring chicken, neil cavuto. neil: the white house today. this is what started it, jimmy carter last night. >> i think an overwhelming portion of the demonstrated animosity towards president barack obama is based on the fact that he is a black man. >neil: robert gibbs trying to move on from it today. >> president obama does not believe that it is because of the color of his skin. neil: a lot of democrats going under the radar. publicly rebuking the comments by congressman joe wilson, the guy who shouted, "you lie!" to the president. today, the rnc chief michael steele is telling fox this is not consistent, and our guest is here. good to have you. >> thank you for having me, neil. neil: the race card. what do you make of it? >> first of all, i cannot tell you how angry i am about what jimmy carter did. he slammed the american people at a time when we are debating issues that are important to families and individuals and the nation, and he is going to reduce it to a matter of racism against president barack obama. it is just despicable, and he

. >> cuckoo for cavuto. >> greg: how did -- how did that ever happen? man. >> well done.he scary thing is it is not that much different. >> not much different. >> i will show you what the difference is right now, greg. see what i'm doing right here. i know where the camera is. that is the only difference. that is the only difference. >> the hair is even worse. look at that! embarrassing. that was the first day. by the way, i think i had done four that we l tequila shots tt afternoon. the best thing, andy levy's hair. >> that was unusual. >> i know we had andrew breitbart on earlier in the week. >> the first time i saw your show you had a red brick background. i came to work and i was like where is that red brick wall. where is -- it was in our studio that we were using down the hall. it was tape to the wall. >> way to ruin the illusion that they weren't real bricks. >> greg: during one show the brick wall actually fell down. >> it is now in someone's living room. >> john gibson is suing us for that. terrible injury general motors >> greg: what would governor huckabee have

"your world" with neil cavuto is coming up next. >> mr. chairman, i am not delaying. i am making an extremely important point. >> it is extremely important, but it is also delaying. neil: something tells me that health care reform thing is not going to well. could that mean out the big global shindig just kicking off in pittsburgh might not be going too well either? the most headaches and a lot of them. barack obama is set to tell the world's biggest vendors that they need to spend some more. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell and joins us exclusively for some reaction. it is always good having you. the timing of this where the president is going to say, we are making progress, follow our lead, you are saying that he might want to set a better example? >> you had the clip of max baucus in the finance committee basically illustrating how they are trying to jam this measure through the senate. they want to shut everybody up on top of it. they had a government agency that regulates medicare tell all the medicare providers that they could not comment about this legisl

at the top of cavuto's program, they will debate that.asa hopes will serve as a working and living space for astronauts. it is part of the space agency's plan to return to the moon. we have all of this excess money, and they want to spend it going to the moon. it is the new lunar electric rover. anita is in arizona. two astronauts live inside these things for two weeks. that must have been a joyous occasion. >> it is pretty small in here. i'm in the driver's seat right now, but i'm going to walk back. it is very tight corners, the two astronauts did live here for two weeks and they conducted all kinds of steel the experiment tests because it is a lot like the surface of the moon. joining me really quick is the mission manager. what did we get out of this mission? >> we definitely proved that two people can live in these confined quarters. we did some very interesting science observations, so it was a real lesson learned for all the groups that participated. >> that is great. it is very exciting. this is a concept vehicle, and nasa hopes o

neil cavuto is coming up.

cavuto. neil: all right, so say you are sorry, joe, or you will be sorry, joe. welcome, everybody, and you are looking live at a capitol hill. house democrats are about to condemn republican congressman joe wilson for his outburst over whether illegals will get health care coverage. on the other side, senate democrats are working on a new health care bill that will only now block illegals from buying coverage on the government's dime. texas congressman john carter says that proves wilson got it right and today's resolution is a big waste of time and money. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- neil: you are saying his colleague of yours could be censored or whatever you guys do to people who misbehaved for all the wrong reasons. >> did have it right. the protections to keep illegal aliens from being covered by the bill were not in the bill, and it is proven by what the senate is doing to make sure they have corrected that. neil: that is a bit of irony, but can i ask you this -- if you cen

you did "fox & friends," cavuto, and rush limbaugh show. that's it. you didn't do any mainstream media you hit this milestone. over 1 million books sold. why do you think that is? what happened? >> well, i think that the book does more than talk about the statist and all the problems we face. it also talks about conservatism. when i started the book a little over two years ago. people were saying conservatism was dead. we need to reject reagan, reject our principles, you know, modernize the philosophy. and i decided that's really way off. and so i delved into the subject of conservatism, liberty, tyranny, and the first few chapters of the book are conservative philosophy. and then it follows with liberalism or what i call statism and then i go through the various issues of the day. i'm very blessed that so many people have taken to the book. sean: one of the things, mark, you also go to the great philosophers that inspired our founders, that inspired our framers, and you outline that. i want to go into this issue because there are some still out there

neil cavuto is at the ground zero site with us for some thoughts on that. >> it is interesting. i raised it with mayor bloomberg and gov. corzine of new jersey that this was a hit on our financial capital as we know it. one of the things we will explore throughout the day is that they did not succeed. the united states still remains the financial engine of the world, and we are going to discuss how we hold on to that. the new york stock exchange never opened that weeks, waiting until the following monday. we took a big hit, sliding a couple of thousand points. but to show us our resilience, the firms that lost so many people here -- we have now more financial companies in lower manhattan and we had back then, even with the layoffs -- then we had back then -- anthan we had back then, even with the layoffs. it shows our resilience. jon: thank you very much for joining us. jane? jane: what are the lessons of 9/11, and how do we teach them to children too young to recall the a tax -- a tax -- attacks? a curriculum will be tested this school year at schools in seven districts, from n

neil cavuto is joining us now. thank you.ident obama is expected to repeat his claim that this plan will not increase taxes. is that possible? >> well, it will increase the fees for a lot of people. max baucus says been the ringleader in the bipartisan effort in the senate, if you can call it that. he is looking at slipping $6 billion in fees on health insurance companies. we will talk to the head of c igna health care later on tonight. he is also looking at extracting fees from the drug industry. the drug industry committed itself to a $150 million advertising campaign to support health care reform, ideally something the president wanted. it also agreed to about $10 billion to $20 billion for savings over the next decade. how they came up with that number, anyone's guess. they're not too enthused by the early indications of finding a way to pay for all of this. so far, left off the table is this surtax of the very rich. it seems to be up for grabs right now. it is not a given that it will or will not happen. they're beginnin
