President was ixated on fox. Turns out he wasnt fixated on tv at all. He doesnt watch cable news. Ive spent countless hours with him, and it was never in any of the trips ever took with him tuned into news. Some of the things that would cross his ipad would include news from cbs hes aware of whats out there. Neil for a guy who do not watch us, he sure does like to tall a lot about us. Uncle jim who is a little stubborned and has been watching fox news. Youre a republican youre watching fox news. One television station thats entirely devoted to attacking my administration. Some people are saying that the irs was used at a local level in cincinnati to go after these kinds of things keep on servicing because you and your tv station will promote them. So im not really watching fox news. Along with our fox biz allstars. Tracy. Ashley, what do you make of this. I think im just as fascinated as you are by this comment. I would be hesitant to think he doesnt watch cnn. But he does he goes after fox news quite a bit. You hear it whenever polls are low for him. He says people have fox news. If they didnt keep spreading lies. If they kept saying all this, maybe my poll numbers wwuldnt be low. This is a president who is very, very weak. I would hope he knows some of the daily content of these news stations regardless of whatever affiliation they have. I would think its important for him to know as a leader of the free world what is going on on a daily basis. He did mention in one press conference, hes just as shocked as we are the American People every time he hears something because hes getting the news from watching the news. It seems like a flipflop in this administration. Neil all i know you can go back to lind injohnson watching about the what the media was saying about him. Any president worth his salt will be well attuned to what the media says. I think jay carney made him look worse neil so were onair force one. It made him look worse if you ask me. He should have said, he watches everything. He knows everything everyone is saying at all time. It made him sound that hes flippant and he doesnt care. He also, the administration went to the point of grabbing soaps phone records or push foght scc to have hallway monitors, on to the fact that jay carney, he has made aware that the president is being briefed on exactly what the tv shows are talking about. Neil they knew everything we were saying. Even people in this administration, she comessafter fox news all the time. Theyre clearly watching and in tune. Neil bottom line is though thaa there is a pattern of diss missing the agitators. Theyre all agitating now in the media. Right . I agree neil. I think all of us we can benefit from listening to a variety of news sources even when they disagree with us. I think the president should be aware of what his critics are saying. Why theyre saying it. What are the motivations with whom he disagrees soak look for potential paths forward. Thats the only way we will understand each other better by listening what the other has to say. Maybe thats part of the problem. Even the people hat used to say nice things. Theyre not saying nice things anymore. Youre just saying, i cant listen. I cant listen. Neil it always sounds intellecttal when someone says i just read everything. I dont watch tv. Im a reader. Which is fine, but we live in that type of world where we get data number of mediums and i think its a little disingenuous to assume otherwise. It makes him appear more detached than if anything, he should be monitoring what is being talked about. There are serious scandals affecting the lives of the American People so you would think he would want to say, im all over these issues that are really hurting people. Neil im reminded of john kennedy, no friend of his, what are they saying about me now . Used to love reading all of them and following everybody. In keeping with president s through Ronald Reagan and george bush, both bushes, they keep up with their supposed friends are saying. That is to be expected. Especially today on the 50th day he was a very selfaware president. This president seems to be very much selfimportant. He believes that hes right in everything he does. He believes hes with the American People on everything. Weve seen the president become more detached. When he steps out to respond to a controversy, he gets immediately angry about it, but then, oh, hope and change the subject. Lets change the subject and theres not a smidgen of corruption at the irs. Neil theres nothing wrong with looking like a human being. I dont know its like many of you watch dancing with the stars. Not that i do because they turn me down. I think theres nothing wrong with being real and dont act like youre on the limits of you know that he and michelle went home after that bill oreilly interview and analyzed it. Neil i thought only oreilly did that. Let me play it backwards and see if you notice what i notice. How do you know so much about fox if you never watch fox . Its ridiculous. Ladies, thank you all very much. Do you think president obama is watching us right now . Hello, mr. President. I know youre watching. You can cavuto. Let us know. The nurses quarantined in the meantime. The story of christie doing a 180 in about 180 seconds. The momentum for this forthcoming election is with the republicans. They are gaining ground. Watch that market. Will we see an election day rally . Varney and company. Eleven eastern. Are the largest targets in the world, for every hacker, crook and nuisance in the world. But systems policed by hps Cyber Security team are constantly monitored for threats. Outside and in. Thats why hp reports and helps neutralize more intrusions than anyone. In the world. If Hp Security Solutions can help keep the Worlds Largest organizations safe, they can keep yours safe, too. Make it matter. receptionist Gunderman Group is growing. Getting in a groove. Growth is gratifying. Goal is to grow. Gotta get greater growth. I just talked to ups. They got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. Like smart pick ups. Theyll only show up when you print a label and its automatic. We save time and money. Time . Money . Time and money. Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome awesome all awesome i love logistics. I didnt reverse any decision. Why are you saying that . She always if she was if she was continuing to be ill, shed have to neil wait a minute you might want to stuff the nurse is out. Now, its the new jersey governors folks that are hunkering down and not just the governor and himself. Andrew como also dialing things back especially when it comes to doing unilateral Christine Todd whitman president immediate pouncing today governor was that both of these governors acted on their own to do something that the cdc and the white house was advising against and said you would regret. Now, this woman who was be is out of quarantine. And it looks like that tte feds at least in this case were right. I mean, as weve learned that when youre youre asymptomatic youre not capable of transmitting the disease. You want to be careful. We want to stop the disease over there. You want to be careful not to discourage people from volunteering. Theres a magnitude of a problem in africa. If youre symptomatic you dont have a choice. This is sun who just came back. Were worried were not getting direction from washington. Neil they did it on the heels of this doctor that came back. They would to be really, really the problem is where they might have acted too fast was not ensuring that the hospitals were prepared to take them in conditions that are acceptable. Neil thats right. Heres my theory. Youre very diplomatic. Youre a decent person. I think they were both caught looking like they were going to be,you know, in charge, take charge guys. Now, they look foolish. Most people will say you learn as you go along. Neil thats the same thing they criticize the president for. Who says everybody but in this case theyll get criticized. Of course. Neil illinois was part f this as well. Fortyseven other governors will say, well, maybe i shouldnt jump the gun. I dont think they will. I did a blog about two weeks ago saying what we should do is every Major Hospital particularly in areas where you have International Airports should have a wing for isolating people. If theyre symptomatic, get them to the centers. What we need to do is oncentrate on the fda because i know they have at least two protocols moving through. That would give you a read almost instantaneously that tells you whether these whether theyve been exposed to ebola. Whether they have it at all. Neil do you think the governor is being truthful here . I dont believe youve dealt with this when you were down at ground zero. Talking about the air is safe. All the data at the time. That waa the view. It could change. It wasnt as if youre deliberately deceiving people. What is the deal . Are they being honest . Theyre being honest to the extent they have the information they need. Weve seen look at what happened in nigeria. They were able to contain it. It is containable. Neil they shut their border down. What they did was quarantine people immediately when they found a little girl neil do we do that. When they found a little girl who died from it. Her family was quarantined. Yes, you have to do that. Thats where you may have neil you trust the authorities. This is not a left right issue. Marginally. I remember when we had the anthrax here and we went to the cdc, we being the Environmental Agency had been responsible for cleaning a building. Whats the acceptable level of anthrax. They said, we dont know. We said its not nothing. We had to clean until there wasnt one single spore of a anthraa. Neil because the stories change on the nature of this disease, is that the authorities arent up to speed or can you understand americans saying we wont trust you guys. Unfortunately i understand why the American People dont trust them. There have been too many instances where weve been proven wrong when we trust them. The big thing, we shouldnt panic. We need to take it seriously. We need to put in place the proper protocols. We need to do it in a comprehensive thought out way. Otherwise well make political hay out of this. Neil do you think governor christie or como were doing that. I heard a lot of others that were doing that. In the meantime i want you do meet a libertarian who is delighted a nurse was out. But wasnt happy that she was cooped out. The government took stuck a syringe in our privacy rights. So youre saying, what, i mean, you could argue3 on the governors point, that you have to show, you know, some caution here and she had just returned from a dangerous area of the world. Where ebola was rampant. What do you do . I think theres a big distinction between doing what you need to do and doing what you want to do to make people feel like youre doing something to keep them safe. Thats the thing that politicians often have trouble distinguishing between. Neil would you have quarantined her at all, katherine . I wouldnt have knowing what i know as an outsiders. As far as i understand it, ebola isnt transmissible neil i dont think they would have done it at all if we didnt have that guy held up in a manhattan hospital because he had not originally exhibited symptoms, and now, were dealing with a doctor in one of the most crowded cities in the planet with ebola. Its actually kind of similar what weve seen with the tsa. So there was there was really a shoe bomber. Some guy tried to get a bomb on an airplane in his shoes. It doesnt mean the right thing do is make everyone take off their shoes. Just because one person slipped through the net, it doesnt follow that the correct thing to do is fight the ast war. Neil youre saying that, whee they do this and lock us up for fear that we might be exhibiting what could otherwise be flu symptoms or have a cold, that theyre going too far. That the kneejerk push to the red button, is a dangerous step. Is that right . You know, i just think, as a libertarian, i often think the right approach is to assume government wont be very good to do what its trying to do even if intentions are good. Weve seen that in this case. There was a sort of classic overreaction to what was probably a pretty rare instance, and that what we will see in the future, i fear, is sort of the never waste a crisis mentality. There will be justification for the no fly list. There will be further restrictions on travel that will be lifted only very slowly. And im nervous about that. Even though i think it is within the proper role of government to contain a real Infectious Public Health threat, you know, quarantining this nurse was not part of that. Neil good point, katherine. Thank you. A va whistleblower receiving threats after his chat with me. Youre saying that these were deliberately destroyed . Im saying from whaa ive been told from others who have worked there who have been fellow whistleblowers that there have been thousands of possible applications that were destroyed. Neil well, i know the president says he doesnt watch e, but someone at the white house was because as soon as he said that, then the hounds started barking at him, after him, all over him. At him, after him, all over him. Were going to talk to they challenge us. They take us to worlds full of heroes and titans. At him, after him, all over him. Were going to talk to for respawn, building the best teractive entertainment begins with the cloud. This is titanfall, the first multiplayer game built and run on microsoft azure. Empowering gamers around the world to interact in ways they never thought possible. This cloud turns data into excitement. This is the microsoft cloud.

Request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing. Neil what do you make of this . Its another example of how va leadership in this administration is missing the mark. Neil well, speaking out against the va and then being threatened by the va, well, after that veteran whistleblower scott davis said the administration tried silencing him. Tell us exactly what happened. Thank you for having me, neil. As you know, neil, we were discussing the fact that 47,000 vets died while waiting for health care and 819,000 are in a pending status. Immediately after i completed my interview on your show, at 5 08 i started receiving harassing emails from a va official saying he was coming to my place of employment with a Court Reporter to take my sworn statement and to have me sign a nondisclosure agreement that would stop me from talking to you. Neil are you kidding me . I spoke to the memmer of the media and apparently thats illegal in this country. Neil didnt you hear that no one in the white house is watching us. So obviously they were watching there and then at the va they were watching when you went ahead onair, then what happened . Well, i went ahead onair and i told the guy, i said, you know, thank you for your email, but im not responding to you. Im not required by law to sign a nondisclosure disagreement because i talked to a member of the press. This clearly board him. They wanted to shut me up. As you know, fox has been reporting the fact that 47,000 vets died. Its in this report. I have it right here. They know fox has been talking about the patient backlog and the fact that the va spent tens of thousands of dollars to promote the Affordable Care act when they didnt talk to veterans about getting out of the backlog. They retaliated against hame and threatened me. It wasnt until the House Affairs committee stepped in and said back off, mr. Davis. Essay witness in a congressional investigation and you cant force him to do anything. Neil whats weird is the character assassination that soon followed. I always had to remind people. If anything, his whole financial career has been turned upside down, and hes been very dangled by all this. As whistleblowers in3 general tend to be damaged. But im wondering, when you ssw that cycle start, where they were just trying too margin lies you and say, oh, well, hes onnfox, and then they later verified and validated a lot of the stuff you were saying. Waa it too little too late for you . Think about this, neil, i have to take money out of my pocket to hire an attorney to clear my name. To take va to court to get my job back. If its available to get back. And im a commmnications professional by trade. How is it that fter you disparage your Communications Professional am i ever to go back and have a real job in communication at that agency. Neil im sorry. What are you doing now . Well, theyve taken away 90 percent of my job responsibilities. I have one project that i work on a daily basis. The Public Affairs people at va no longgr communicate with me. I no longer get the daily briefing. Ive been totally maagin liesed. The good thing is i show up to work, but i also have been getting a lot of support from veterans, and a lot from chairman miller and the veteran house committee. Im now participating in an investigation with the office of special counsel, who is actually going to take bob to task, the current va secretary and force him to answer on the record about the 47,000 vets that died. 890,000 vets that have been waiting for their processed. N to be even though theyve taken away my job, i opportunity each day to go to work and provide those documents to the committee. Provide those documents to the American Legion, to the veteran of foreign wars and to other groups who are advocating for our veterans. I want to get this point out, one of the the administrators at va lynn harv enactually stated in an email that when the American Legion came to her to help address the issue of the backlog, if they asked me this question, im going to skirt this issue. We have that email. It ran in the Atlanta Journal constitution and she still has her job. Neil it is amazing. You should take some solace from soldiers and those who served this country who said thanks to you, someone is finally paying attention to them. So there is that. I hope that is some comfort to you. Thank you, scott. Very good seeing you. Thank you. Than
