A congressman who had an image of a bike which was a telltale sign i was going nowhere trying to argue when it came to infrastructure accountability. Take a look. Neil youre talking about doubling the gas tax and acting like it is no big deal. What americans want to know is how can you guarantee the new money you want from this . I just finished indicating to you independent studies from business, from republicans. Neil you have no idea, do you . You purposely dont have an idea. Neil i get the same answ. Thanks for your time. Neil and we both walked off the show together. In all seriousness i am not for crumbling roads and bridges or letting them fall in the water. What i am for is making sure we dont compound this in and it never meets the bridge. 122 billion per year on various infrastructure related issues so you would think with the 85 billion we are getting, nearly 10 billion in property taxes and assessment just for this sort of thing. Additional taxes and fees, and i left out the president Stimulus Program a few years back to say nothing of the 62 billion collected from oil companies. Methinks there is something there. If they can fully account for that money and where it has gone and they exhausted all that money and now it is gone, i am open to giving them more money. Just complaining about how cold it was in this studio. All right, what do you make of what now the president is pushing this week along with joe biden . They always want more, more, more. All you have to do is look at public schools, the military to know more money does not equal a better product. Im afraid that is what we will see. Neil what i worry about is i can see as much as everyone the new mayor saved a lot of money by simply not taking out the plows in the winter. In your neighborhood, of course. What i am wondering about is i am all for addressing these concerns. I just dont want to pour good money after bad. They will not adequately account for that money spent so we are backed into a corner where nothing gets done. What has to be done . If they completely impossible occurred and the federal government managed to account for the spending, we could spend a little bit more. It is never going to happen. Neil so what happens . Frankly i would like to see at least these handed over to private companies. We have exciting developments. It sounds like an oxymoron. Exciting developments in the tall rooms. Easy task, i am sure you have one in your car. Making it possible for people to make money on roads, not inconvenience you and take the government out of the equation to a larger extent. Neil the president will be at new york, the Vice President will be in st. Louis, a host of other cities. We have to commit a lot of money to this sort of thing. They leave out how you will raise that money. The question comes back to what happens to what we have been given to this. It has been the worst for some time now, so why now do we care about it . It probably means it will collapse the next time i go over it. The problem is the government should not be involved in our roads at all. I know i jumped the gun. Neil what do you make of this . We keep on setting up this nowin scenario. I agree with you wholeheartedly. This money should be accounted for, but you cannot use it as a reason to do nothing. Private versus public, i am okay with that debate. You will find more problems with the public than you think. Lets have it for real before more people get killed. There is no discussion of any sort of privatization despite the fact it has been successfully completed even a limited scale here in the states, the chicago skyway has been successfully privatized. Neil a private company runs it or takes care of it . In chicago the former private licenses, but in the form of privatizing the roads themselves. This occurred long before the establishment of a highway system, so it can be done. It would be revenue into the government instead of more taxes and more regulation with folks trying to conduct business. We can complain until the cows come home of the potholes in this area. But you still cannot convince the American People to put more money into this neverending pot of whatever that is going nowhere fast. You want to put it toward something we have no accountability for. Neil we have these broken records. People always use the chicago situation, and it has been successful, but you cant expect private industry will come into every small town in america and take over this responsibility because it wont be profitable. Neil go ahead, finished that point. It doesnt have to going to every small town in america to be a good idea to try some places. Neil what were you going to say . Unfortunately this is not an economic discussion for the president , it is a political discussion. Hundreds of billions of dollars make work a Stimulus Program, this is the means by which to award the unions and other politically motivated donors with more jobs and more taxpayers. Neil we do know the proof is in the pudding, the collapsing thing is it is not working. It is not working the way we have been doing. Neil you probably heard republicans wants to have fewer debates in 2016. About 7000 in the last one, everyone but dora the explorer posted one. They want to change that. Now i am deciding is it me or is it dora . After this. Weekdays are for rising to the challenge. Theyre the days to take care of business. When possibilities become reality.

Up isnt easy, and we ought to know. Were in the business of up. Everyday delta flies a quarter of Million People while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. Were raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again. Neil i want you to think, how many debates to the republicans have in the last president ial go around . How about 20. And thats a conservative figure because they are leaving out the 4h club and boy scouts of america. I joked to make the kind point thats lifetime to beat up with the frontrunning candidate is. But the argument is it make that candidate a much better candidate when all is said and done. I want to pick patrick sprain joining us. What do you make of public is wanted to scale back down a little bit from 20 to lets say, i dont know, 19. What do you say . I think thats a good idea to scale it back. People got awfully bored with them. I watched almost all of them, i thought mitt romney, the eventual nominee, he either win or placed second in each of those. I dont think he was badly hurt. It shows he can handle himself, so i think he benefited from it. Neil i agree with that. Jonathan hoenig, my concern with this is that we tend to think of exchanges as bad for the nominee emma the eventual nominee but i always argue in the general election they will be reps a new one anyway. Where is the fear they start going back, grab a bite or a comment somebody said and it doesnt go away . Lets hope it doesnt go away. It is an opportunity for the candidate to not only define him or herself, but also what the party is about. The g. O. P. Is somewhat of a transition. Going a more traditional counter out or more of the Tea Party Libertarian road. I think for the parties themselves to define what are the essentials, what are the fundamentals they will present to the American Public on. Neil it is unusual to have 20 and even more of these type of exchanges ierybody wants a shot. Between me and dora the explorer, you dont have to wait too long to have a chance at doing this and i wonder again waters down. You dont mean that about me. There should be one debate. You should have 20 of nothing in your life. Nothing except maybe going to my mothers house for christmas dinner. You lose people, you lose viewership and everybody loses credibility. Neil here is the danger, we are money network. Every other month it seemed we had a new frontrunner. They all took turns being the leader things to these because it was always getting the attention, but couldnt get the attention of the money raisers . They look at michele bachmann, that is where the money should go. That happened. You would see fundraising boost after each one of them. Now i will utter words i never thought i would say in my entire life until the day i die. Neil barack obama should go to jail . No, i agree with pat buchanan. Neil you can do better than that. Romney came out of that well. We would all miss the clown show if it stops. Neil are we overdoing it . The party has to be aware of the fact it may be perceived as pushing a long and the establishment candidate, the main man. Coming up in this race you will have rand paul and ted cruz and maybe ben carson a sort of the outlier candidates, and these are the ones who really benefit dramatically from the debate. Remember herman cain 999 . The party has got to watch that it is not trying to stifle these folks. Neil itl it would be like geoe bush senior trying to avoid any encounter with you or any establishment. Any notoriety given to the candidate robs the leader of the limelight. Look what George Hw Bush did after he won iowa in 1980, the e goes to New Hampshire and says in ttis debate it is governor reagan and me and bob dole and howard baker and John Anderson and phil crane, you are off the stage. You cant cut these guys out, i paid for this microphone, that finished off George Hw Bush in 1980. Neil you are so modest. You didnt mention your own example. Didnt get a chance. Final thoughts . Even in the last election cycle you were one of the few talking pundits who actually covered Gary Johnsons election hope that he wasnt included in the debate. I think the entire debate would have benefited from his participation. Neil by the way, they had 58 candidates. What was the harm in inviting a 59th . I digress. Guys, thank you all very much. We have a problem now with government workers, a lot of people have been very suspicious, but now the various computers they are using sometimes to spy on you or get things on you or legibly to help you, they are so riddled with porn, they are actually hurting you. Go figure. Is all ready the brand ofstate the year. D Berkshire Hathaway home services. Good to know. When folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. I got lots of advice, but i needed information i could trust. Unitedhealthcares innovative, Simple Program helps moms stay on track with their doctors to get the right care and guidance. anncr vo thats health in numbers. Unitedhealthcare. No matter what kind of business you own, at t Business Experts can help keep it running. Seamlessly. So you can get back to what you love. When everyone and everything works together, business just sings. Neil ever since the revelations that the securities and Exchange Commission was found to have more than a few agents who are predisposed to watching porn then chasing bad guys, lot has been made of what government workers are doing on their time. A lot of their computers are vulnerable not only to hackers, but a lot of other stuff thanks to their obsession with porn. You were saying during the break nobody was punished for this. Nobody has been fired for any instance involving porn at the federal offices. Its wrong, but its a holdover. People forget why we got this way. Virtually all were political appointees. They created the Silver Service to and that problem and as we usually do, we went too far the other direction. One thing i will make a little pitch here though. If you want to start somewhere, increasingly to fire federal employees who do a happy job, take on the bill to take a people in the federateds and administration who do a crabby job to fix those. Very important. The it people should be fired. All you have to do is block it. Go to any bank in this town, they cant watch it. They cannot watch it on company computers. That is the biggest problem here. Neil this is fairly widespread. So, block it neil i understand, calm down. They had the most abuses per capita ace on the staff. Governmental Protection Agency has three more than Just National geographic. So what do we do in response . Neil, it is really hard to get fired from the federal government. The federal government players less than half of 1 of its employees for poor performance per year. The private sector fires about 3 . Neil on just this issue . It is very hard to get fired from the federal government. I dont have the answer answer t to block porn. Reduce the size and scope of government completely. Bring down the number. A lot of senior executives. It is not like lowering people. A federal judge got busted for doing it. Neil you need to be a judge to find out what is porn. For tat on that one. I dont know how we got on this. When we come back, senator harry reid is attacking the Koch Brothers. That is nothing new. The sound of it is. It is not often i agree with what the Koch Brothers say or do. Koch brothers. Koch brothers. Multizillionaire of the Koch Brothers. Were moving our company to new york state. The numbers are impressive. Over 400,000 new private sector jobs. Making new york state number two in the nation in new private sector job creation. With 10 Regional Development strategies to fit your business needs. And now its even better because theyve introduced startup new york. With the state creating dozens of taxfree zones where businesses pay no taxes for ten years. Become the next business to discover the new new york. [ male announcer ] see if your business qualifies. Neil it is so familiar to us. Lot of folks dont know who the Koch Brothers are. Take a look. Do you know who the Koch Brothers are . I dont know who the Koch Brothers are. May be the drink . The Koch Brothers, do you know who they are . The Koch Brothers . I do not know who they are. No. I think of mcdonalds . No. Neil all those interviews were held outside of cnbc offices. I dont know. If you were to watch another channel, they are target. Why . It is easy to demonize them as being the billion or donors who have selfserving political interest, but with the left for forgets his they have their own billionaires they dont demonize doing the same thing in a mirror image. I am sure you heard of them, agree to 100 million. Neil big on financing those. I have no issue with money in politics. I think the American People are pretty smart, some wellfinanced candidates no matter the money spent. Some people can make their own decisions. I say dont blast either. They are wasting their time. People still think the Koch Brothers pour soda. George soros, may be dubbed a new word, maybe that is how we will all get to know this people. They are trying to make ends meet before the next paycheck comes. Neil is it good or bad to have these bigmoney types sort of pick and chosen by the media type. They are now deemed a threat, not so much the michael bloombergs. It is the picking and choosing part comedy harry reid, that seems not so fair and balanced. It is not the media targeting the Koch Brothers. Atlanta media, but the American People. U can advocate for those positions and it is not the governments role to target and demonize you for having those opinions. The matter whether youre worth a dollar or 2 million, this notion harry reid calling out and targeting innocent americans for voicing their political beliefs should be chilling to all of us. I disagree with senator reid when he says the Koch Brothers are doing this to make themselves richer. Theyre doing it because they have a political point of view i profoundly disagree with. I think there is some mistake there. But keep one thing in mind, they have been incredibly intercepted on the federal level. Neil they can do whatever they want. They have been on the state level, having an impact. Not so much yet. Neil what does it influence . That kind of money. The other problem i have. I think they really perverted the tea party movement. That should be a problem for a great number of people who go in that direction. At the end of the day nobody cares. Let them fight it out, let harry reid call names on whoever he wants, it wont make a difference on how people vote at the end of the day. Neil does it hurt that they are involved in . Not that they need any help, but does it hurt their association because the public p. R. , even though we just showed that, most people dont seem to know who they are. Look, money is a scalpel that scales political message without money is like trying to trim your lawn with a pair of scissors. In answer to your question, forget the Koch Brothers donated 100 million to new york presbyterian. The new york city opera. When they donated 100 million, they actually had activist protests from the nca naacp andm the local unit 1199. Because they are the Koch Brothers. It hurts just because they have associated their message with that of demonization. It hurts speech itself. Having to be fearful number of commerce will call you out simply for expressing her own political beliefs. That only chills the Koch Brothers message but all political discourse and that is a major negative. He wrote a letter to the journal. Neil i wish we had more time. What say you have a very nice apartment, you will be away for a while and you want to rent it out. The company set out to do just that call. Airbnb thought they were onto that until everybody force them out of business or tried to. Out of business or tried to. Is that right, predicting the future is a pretty difficult thing to do. But, manufacturing in the United States means advanced technology. We learned that Technology Allows us to be craft oriented. No ones losing their job. Theres no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out. The technology is actually creating new jobs. Siemens designed and built the right tools and resources to get the job done. Carstheyre why we innovate. Theyre who we protect. Theyre why we make life less complicated. Its about people. We are volvo of sweden. Neil this one was confusing me for a while. Say you rent an apartment and want to lease it out, there are laws for that sort of thing. But lets say you own that apartment, say you own your home and you want to temporarily lease it out or lend it out to someone, as a company that lets you do that but all the sudden the City Ordinance guys got annoyed and San Francisco so annoyed this set up incentives to spy on you if people in your apartment or the people they thought should be in your apartment. She says the government needs to get off the back of companies that do this sort of thing. Play this out, what are the risks of this . The risks or for the individuals who own the property and rented out, they could have damage their own. If they go through a company like airbnb, airbnb does a background check, they ensure damages. A much safer way than posting an ad on craigslist letting someone rent directly from you. Neil theyre not as sleazy as a realtor. That that your word. Neil i know. Is a company like airbnb overstepping the line or what . I think so. Normally i am in favor of Less Government regulations, but here they are operating essentially with no regulations, and what is happening is that is creating a whole host of problems. Problems for the city unable to collect potential tax revenue. Neil they are already getting taxes from the owner. No, that is the problem here, that is why we need these regulations. They are essentially operating as hotels, but a lot of times they are not even claiming this as income. Neil so your problem is the city or the state isnt getting the tax from these guys. And neighbors, if you buy a home or renting an apartment, do you have an interest in the Property Value . Neil it gets to be a little bit. What do you make of that, all of a sudden your nextdoor neighbor is running a brothel . If you have a legitimate problem, great, you should reported to authorities authorities if there is illegal activity going on. Otherwise mind your own business. They support ideas like this as a way to make money, a way to have your own. Neil you think you are next door to someone, that nextdoor neighbor constantly changes and you dont know who is nextdoor. I can see that, and i understand owning a house myself, what mind your own business. You want a safe neighborhood. If there is illegal activity, reported or stay out of it. You can report it, i agree with you. You dont want drug dealers or hookers next door to you. Worry about what you are doing, they want to double dip, charge people paying property taxes more and more and more. The hotels are complaining. Maybe they will come stay with you instead. Neil it wasnt too long ago u had a few established rental cars to go through, and some upstart Companies Find it easier to leave town for the weekend and those guys are piling on those guys, so what is the difference here . I dont think thats what is going on here. It puts hotels at an unfair disadvantage. Neil they have like a 98 occupancy rate. They are not hurting. Hotels have to comply with a 14 tax in San Francisco, they have to comply with rules and regulations. These individuals renting their property, they are not assuming that responsibility, so it does put hotels at an unfair advantage. They are expecting additional liability with all of these transient coming in and out. Neil whether you agree or not, somebody comes along the way that business is conducted, hell hath no fury like a lot of those who want them dead. Great, ladies, thank you both very much. A lot of are saying we have to raise the minimum wage. What if i told you it might just become a moot point . After this. When folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. But the energy bp produces up here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence. Its one more part of our commitment to america. Neil dont spend all of your money in one place. From around 2. 2 , maybe 2. 3 may be if you are good, 3 . Get ready to rock n roll. The argument for this increase in activity, the wages are finally catching up, 3 , might be three an. 5 next year, might mitigate the whole minimum wage debate. We should not raise minimum wage whether gdp moves or not. This should be on a company by company, business by business basis. Society should rule what wage should be. They have no rights but to react. Neil they have the funds to increase what has been the numbers in the past. If you can do for everybody you can do for the lowest in the ranks, what do you say . Some probably deserve more money. I am one of the few who believe minimum wage keeps wages too l low, it anchors wages too low and give employers a good excuse not to pay people more. They pay them the federally mandated minimum wage. Wages arent arbitrary. They are not based on the bureaucrats pen, theyre based on the economic realities of a situation. It is a distortion of that situation. That is why should be abolished, let Better Qualified and better a free his people earn. The 3 projected for this year hardly will make a huge impact on people working 40 hours per week and still far below the federal poverty line. It just isnt going to do it. It really doesnt. That is the problem. That is why we had it in the first place. Even when you had years with Pretty Healthy growth, you werent seeing that in the lower wage jobs. Thats just not something we do. You are too close. It is much easier to go on the government dole, take the earned income tax credit and live off the United States of america. Thats where we are. Get people out there working. Youth Participation Rate in the economy started going down back in 2007. In 2008 once the minimum wage began to be race. Not only destroying business, but destroying peoples opportunities to get the skills to go ahead. Because to tracys point, its more expensive to hire the folks to work. They dont get the opportunities, the employers dont get the work. Neil i wish we could argue this for quite some time, but the trend right now is in higher wages. In the meantime British Petroleum or bp want to invest 1. 5 billion this year. Is it because they dont have the opportunities to do it here . Jonathan, the argument for bp and others investing abroad is it is easier to do so there than it is here. What do you make of that . Especially when it comes to energy, the Energy Policy in this country is highly controlled by government. That is a relatively recent thing. The department of energy was only cooked up in the mid mid1970s. They are looking elsewhere to develop the Energy Resources thats not only help their bottom line but help anybody able to use them including americans here at home. That is exactly right. Back to the keystone pipeline, back to your team. This is such a false narrative. They have very invested in egypt for long time. There are the largest producer of natural gas to the country of egypt. There are reasons to be there. They have a shortage of natural gas because the political unrest. Theyre just putting more money into serve that market. They wouldnt need to that that. They are leaving it there. That is not the problem. Neil if you tap it here, and there are limitations on how much you can ship abroad, wouldnt you have been more inclined to drill or find whatever means you can of these other guys . It is not the reason theyree doing it. Even the u. S. Success in exploring for natural gas has been hindered by the Environmental Movement that rules the Obama Administration with fracking technology. The more we can control energy, the more difficult it is to get out of the ground. Neil i have your back. You cannot blame the administration on fracking. Neil really.
