that s for sure. some people might want to like both. neil: all right well, i know ben stein was burning all his dvd s so ben, what do you do here? [laughter] neil: what do you do now? what do you do now, ben? is this a risky strategy? ben: i do actually have some eminem discs and my wife is a fan of his for some reason i don t know why i ll have to give him a blood test to see if she s still my real wife. i think eminem done outrageous idiotic things to be on television giving the president of the united states the middle finger is absolutely outrageous. it does advance a debate in any way whatsoever all it does is say lock i m eminem i m still trying to be outrageous i m an older guy but now still outrageous. i m with you ben. neil: do you agree deirdre? deirdre: i do. i think eminem is hardly a shy,
deirdre: [laughter] neil: charles payne, here is what i worry about with this is that it s open season now and that might be fine, the president might have asked for a lot of this but in the hollywood community, there doesn t seem to be much of an attempt to semi balance it out. maybe that will just never happen but it s full throttle, full attack, pretty much all the time. charles: it is but sometimes that back fires as well. neil i have no problem with an individual not liking the president or liking the president. that s a beautiful thing. neil: absolutely. charles: listen, i ve seen the tweets, man but the point is though, when they start to go after people who voted for president trump and they start to insult their fellow americans , i think that s what we have to draw the line and i think that s where they make the bring its mick takes. neil: guys thank you all very very much. we have an open invite to eminem , if you want to come on just come on. charles: neil i t
tell my kids. adam says it s good i agree it s very good for amazon but this reminds me of what apple did by giving away free computers to schools right? then your kids are used to apple computers and you have to buy apple or an example was the cigarette ads that are joe cammel cartoon character to draw in kids obviously made illegal but the point is if you begin to convert kids young, mcdonald s happy meal there s a ton of examples so on amazon s part it s extremely smart. i am not going to say one word to my children. i hope they never find out about this, because they don t seem to be they will do it anyway. deirdre: for the moment it s lockdown in my house. neil: ben stein what do you think? ben: i think that my son spends as much on amazon every month as is necessary to buy three bentlies, literally, literally. i m not making it up.
that obama added more to the deficit than all other presidents put together, but i think that it s a bill which is very complicated and hard to understand but once we understand it and once we got it straightened out in terms of our accountants, i think it s going to be a bonanza for american business. i think it s a bonanza for the economy generally but it is going to be some rough getting used to it at first. neil: all right so ben stein is probably not filling his taxes out on an index card. deirdre what do you think that this is an unexpected? i see these companies arguing as good as a pr spend just to avoid future criticism as possible. charles you talked about some of the bonuses that companies are giving out, at&t is one and cvs actually specifically said we re going to hire more workers , a lot of different companies comcast included at&t as well talked about investing billions of dollars in infrastructure so all of these companies they just want to avoid that fat cat label,
you i m neil cavuto. well, at&t, comcast, wells fargo quite a few companies already handing out bonuses making new investments because of the republican tax cut charles payne says more will likely follow their lead, also joining in is charlie gasparino, we ve got deirdre b back with us and along with ben stein. charles what do you make of this , early signs that look like we re getting more than we thought from some companies. it s alive. it s alive. neil: [laughter] that s not bad. the economy is already rock ing and rolling and we saw already there s a whole slate of names the biggest tell a lot of people miss it tuesday, fedex reported and in their report the ceo said we are going to hire people we re going to spend money on infrastructure, and we re going to fund our pensions and we are also going to do that and have a buck extra for the bottom line was the first on tuesday, so this i don t see how anyone could be against this and certainly is going to be an up
