now that we're getting blindsided. in the aggregate, what do we do? >> well the bottom line is when we make those burgers, neil, what you want to do is take half mushrooms and half burgers and put them together you're right, the price of beef is up 14%, but if you're one of those folks who want organic beef. forget about it! there's no way you're going to be able to afford it. up 30, 40 50% a lot of it has to do with the california drought and a lot of the ranchers have thrown up their hands and walking away from the business. neil: all right i hear bacon is doing a little better. you could fry bacon on the grill and leave it at that, right? >> here's what i'm going do. bacon is down, it's down 25%. neil: why is that? >> combination of vegetables and beef put together. or pork and beef put together and sprinkle bacon on top of it it's going to be flavorful and you're going to save money. neil: when people normally in the past you reminded me in the past when beef prices go up, folks were into chicken. when chicken prices go up they find an alternative turkey. they sit at the barbecues and find a way around the price increase. is it such now it's going to be hard to do? >> yes it's going to be hard to do but you've got to be smart. you've got to go to the dollar store which sells ground beef. you've got to go to costco buy in bulk. plan out what the barbecue is and shop around. don't go to the normal supermarket, look in the circulars look for online sales. do everything you can. bottom line is the prices are going to continue to go up. it's not going to go down. if you can find a great sale, put some in the freezer. neil: good points all. hope you have a good barbecue this weekend. appreciate it. >> thank you, neil. neil: before you do fire up that grill, you might have to rub off the frost. in parts of the northeast this weekend, my buddy joe is telling me it's going to be the cold reality. joe is on the phone with us now. for how long, joe? >> well this coming night neil, very cold across the interior northeast. if you had a record-breaking cold february, the areas the interior of new england new york state into pennsylvania, eastern ohio, chances are tomorrow morning in the low areas there's going to be a frost. the u.s. generating computer model has been forecasting a record-breaking late season freeze. i think its numbers are out of touch with reality. they look five to eight degrees too low. where i am in central pennsylvania, the record low for tonight's 34 is predicting 26. neil: really? >> if 26 happened around here in north jersey into new york state, this would be a disaster for farms and gardens. neil: what's going on? sounds like climate change to me. >> you're going to get flagged for instigation. memorial day weekend you're getting me going on climate change. interesting neil, in 1934 was the benchmark cold month in the northeast part of the united states. eclipsed in many cases this month but you look at may of 1934 was very warm across the entire nation, and so far we've been very warm in may. this san island of cool and a sea of warm weather pattern, it's going to hit 90 next week in new york city. neil: that would be the climate changing, i guess. joseph, always good thank you very much. >> have a great memorial day weekend. neil: to you as well. gas prices an issue ahead of holiday weekend. with gas futures at six month highs, phil flynn says you might want to step back and look at the bright side prices are down about a buck a gallon from last year. perspective is everything right, phil? >> they are exactly. a year ago talking about $5 a gallon. this year down almost 95 cents than a year ago. what's great about that neil over the last year, guess what americans did when gas prices went down? they bought bigger cars. suvs like crazy. and now we're hearing from aaa that over 35 million americans are going to travel this weekend. we're going to see the biggest demand for gasoline in ten years. and most of the drivers are stuck ahead of me in traffic i would assume. neil: i always think, and you remind me of this that price swings are so severe, it's like a geiger chart. bii wonder where longer term it's telling us we're going here. if you look at the last few weeks a couple of months up up up and before that down, down, down, what is the equilibrium, where do you see gas prices settling? >> well, it's good news and bad news. i think gasoline prices are probably going to settle down after the memorial day holiday but i think crude prices could continue to go up. and i think you're going to see a disconnect between the price of crude oil and the price of gasoline. the one bright spot with the gasoline market in this country is u.s. refiners are able to produce more gasoline than they ever have before because we're producing more oil we're producing higher quality oil so even as crude prices go up gasoline prices stay moderate. and the other thing is even though we're driving more driving bigger cars those cars are more fuel-efficient. we're not seeing the type of demand spike that you would see per gallont way that we would. we can drive bigger cars use less gas and pay a bigger price. the best of both worlds. neil: for now for now, mr. flynn, thank you, sir? >> see you later, have a good holiday. neil: word is getting out about my move to daytime. it's got people doing the weirdest things. take a look at this guy. randomly stripped down at an airport. not because he couldn't make his flight. two hours of cavuto is enough to go admit it you were doing the same thing. june 1st is the big day, that's when we move to noon to 2:00 p.m. eastern time. a lot of you asking are you doing your fox news show at 4:00 p.m. eastern. yes, i am. people said neil have you orchestrated a better deal at fox as a result. unfortunately i found out the other anchors are paid it is annoying, i'm here to serve you. two hours in the middle of the day when everything is breaking is our way of helping you make sense of it. we're going to be doing it every single day, lunch is on us. all right. meanwhile did joe biden offer hillary clinton campaign advice for himself?

dan schaeffer says the economy isn't doing well richard says joe biden has it right and should run with it. richard, you're saying embrace what you got, numbers are a heck of a lot better than they were when democrats took over the white house, even if americans don't quite feel all of that? explain. >> i'm saying that if in october of 2008 neil somebody said to you i've got a candidate who will triple the stock market who will get the auto industry above 21 million cars a year, who will get health care costs down for five straight years historically low and radical slashing of the uninsured, and if you go sector by sector, the wall street people would actually be doing quite well at a time when main street would be secure against another crash. if you went through the list you would say where do i sign up? neil: fair enoughing are fair enough. >> one other thing, compare against europe, going all in on austerity and the u.s. went in for stimulus. which would you rather be in the u.s. or europe? you don't have a controlled experiment very often and we've got one. neil: if you look at numbers then and now, impressive. >> i would change nye passports of what he just said. this is not good. look at the velocity of money which is crap. 30% off its peek. the u.s. debt is 18 trillion dollars much attributed to the current administration. we have unfunded liabilities as 96 trillion dollars, and the labor force participation rate is at the lowest since march of 1978. >> would you argue that -- lot of americans certainly not esoteric stuff. do you think that americans are sensing things are better because we have seen a pop in real estate and retail sales, we've seen indication americans are traveling this memorial weekend. spending money to hold tight. what do you think? >> hold off, the retail sales are not busting out the door. neil: they're off the map. >> the average hourly worker say steady the last four years, people are working more hours. neil: fair enough. >> and a big sign of a low level rumbling in the economy is more crime. neil: all right, all right, we're richer, then it comes back to this. is there a risk bragging with a recovery where we were but is not quite a recovery by typical standards so that you look like or democrats risk looking like their clueless? >> right. look, obviously every one of us can kind of have measure what we've experienced against some fictional universe, but the fact is again, we don't have a controlled permit -- neil: i don't think it's a fictional universe. >> no no no a fiction in this regard. none of the countries in the industrialized world, put china aside we admit it's a little different. but the countries that in the industrialized world, the u.s. economy is a beacon right now. and the fact of the matter is 62 straight months of private sector job growth, sure. >> richard, hold on a second, hold on a second. please. early stages of what japan has gone through. the debt the people not spending, putting money in cash. interest rates at zero and can't get the gdp going. tell me this is great. the policies that have been running that you were just explaining the health care the auto industry. those things, the auto industry basically put a lot of people bankrupt because they lost money on the gm bonds. health care is a major tax on corporate america. what is corporate america doing? they're not taking money and spending it. look at the last reports. they're taking money and buying back their own stock. they're not building an infrastructure, they're not building nonresidential buildings, they're not putting out capital expenditures that's where the velocity is and we have a big problem. neil: a republican president having this type of change, would you say the same thing? >> i don't think a republican would do this kind of a change. neil: fair enough flip it around. do you think the vice president embraced what you got, you go with the one you got to the dance right? that that risks looking like everything is fine and democrats end up looking like what's your problem, and that is a problem. >> it's not going to -- look just like when george h.w. bush succeeded ronald reagan and said we have to do things kinder and gentler. hillary clinton is going to have her version of kinder and gentler, she spoke about ways to assist small business. talked about immigration reform. neil: toppling the 1%. >> no no no listen neil, what she would say is she would concede she's in it and her buds are in it. neil: she's going to topple herself. >> she's not talking about toppling anything. >> no no you heard the exact predictions from people like dan when bill clinton had his economic policy in '93. neil: you guys would say ronald reagan would be financial armageddon both parties play that. >> we have history it. rolled into japan rolled into europe, and it's going to roll into here and bite us in the end. neil: and roll out this segment with the clock ticking away. have a safe and enjoyable weekend. it is called memorial day for a reason. automotive innovation starts... right here. with a control pad that can read your handwriting, a wide-screen multimedia center, and a head-up display for enhanced driver focus. all inside a redesigned cabin of unrivaled style and comfort. the 2015 c-class. at the very touchpoint of performance and innovation. ♪ when we were young we wanted to change the world. so we did. we took a generation that was built on hope... and turned it into a generation that changed lives. and this life that we've built?

i'm worthless. retired colonel and former congressman alan west says none of these guys expect a thank you. given the headlines lately, i don't think anything says screw you. what do you make of this? >> you are absolutely right. it's a pleasure to be with you. as we go into the memorial day weekend,vy should not be saying happy memorial day. honor memorial day. and think about the service of sacrifice and commitment the willingness to give the last full measure of devotion to the great nation by so many men and women who are seeing their sacrifices be turned into a political sound bite and response is disconcerting. neil: what do you make colonel from bush from marco rubio tripped up on the notion whether in the end, knowing what we know now, was it worth it? and a lot of them are saying no no pretty much at that point. governor chris christie saying no now, definitely not. staying was fairly black and white about it. how do you think that makes them feel? what do you agree and disagree some who lost limbs and lives and their families how do you think that makes them feel? >> makes us feel horrible. look into the eyes of myself or anyone who lost a limb or brother or sister in operation iraqi freedom and tell them they were a mistake. tell them that you think that little of what they have done, and then try to get us to understand why you think you deserve the title of commander in chief? i think that if you had more individuals that had been on the receiving end of an ak-47, a pkm or rpg, they would make a completely different statement. we should be talking about how do we preserve that which so many sacrifice in the abilities and the incredible exertions that they did in iraq? because now we've seen a vacuum that is left. an enemy that was defeated in al qaeda and iraq that has been reconstituted. that was very it's almost disrespectful and disgusting, and i got to tell you anyone who says what we did over there in iraq, they see it now as a mistake. they're not going to get my support. neil: now looking at what's fallen out and fallen apart in the middle east and many blame the president, others blame the environment whatever these guys have got to feel doubly bum out. especially for those who fought ramadi and elsewhere, look what's happening? . >> you are absolutely right. when you are there as a young midshipmen about to become an ensign and the commander in chief tells you the greatest national security threat is climate change if you're a climate change denier you are negligent and derelict in duties. that is unconscionable, especially when there are hostages in iran and we are sitting at a table with iran. four americans who die in benghazi a narrative, a lie was put out there. that's dereliction of duty. we're growth a time we have to have men and women, not just politicians but those who know what it means to be on the 21st century battlefield and to respect the veterans. those bureaucrats in the veterans affairs administration should be fired. what they're doing is unconscionable and appalling. neil: you know what i love about you? you speak your mind. people can agree or disagree with you but you are very, very clear. i like that. i want to thank you for your service, colonel and all of those you represent. thank you very much. >> thank you, neil, a pleasure to be with you. neil: do any of you remember this little gem? >> affordable. affordable. there's a reason, affordable. affordable. affordable. affordable. the reason they changed the name of it is because they wanted to get away. opponent from the word affordable. neil: not, not, not, not, not, not not, if you suffer from a dry mouth then you'll know how uncomfortable it can be. but did you know that the lack of saliva can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath? well, there is biotene specially formulated with moisturizers and lubricants... biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. time upon a once people approached problems the way same. always start at the starting. and questions the same asking. but that only resulted in improvements small. so we've got some ideas new. garbage can create energy. light can talk. countries can run on jet engine technology. when you look at problems in ways different you new solutions find. ♪ ♪ excellent looking below the surface, researching a hunch... and making a decision you are type e*. time for a change of menu. research and invest from any website. with e*trade's browser trading. e*trade. opportunity is everywhere. . neil: and you were shocked when you found out you couldn't keep that doctor you liked. now, about that other promise about health care costs coming down. readem and weep. health insurers say 52%, others tamer at 30%. most are requesting these big hikes to compensate for affordable care act costs that are anything but. to conservative columnist crystal wright who saw all of this coming. crystal what they're discovering is that no way to account with all the new influx and patients and customers, all sorts of maladies and the government requires that they cover preexisting conditions, yada, yada, yada and costing it out and saying we can't do it unless premiums go up. justified to go 51, 52% is in the eyes of the beholder. obviously going up a lot, which is just the opposite what we were told. >> is anybody surprised? when the government mandates anything especially entitlement. efficiency goes out window costs go up. and the problem we're seeing with the unaffordable care act, neil, is when you have six people -- i'm sorry if you have sick people that have to be covered at the same rate as healthy people the healthy hard-working people have to pay for the sick people and have to pay for the free health care people are getting in the subsidized health care. neil: these numbers surprised me by the magnitude. i'm always wondering the baseball player who goes as a free agent and i demand double in pay or knowing that he or she could live with a smaller figure. and i'm wondering if it's something like that is going on here, what do you think? >> well i'm sorry, what do you mean by the -- neil: they have to get these approved by states and regulators. >> yeah, they do, exactly. neil: they put on we need 30.4% more first. >> well, sure it's like look it's like the medicare doctors like the medicaid doctors any providers are going to say if you're the federal government, let's say i'm saying we need more, we need more. if the health plans go back to the old model where they could try to spend dollars efficiently. remember under obamacare there's a cap at how much profit these health plans can make. they have to spend over 80 or almost 90% of what they take in on patient care. so the reality is i think the money they're spending might not be on really good care it's just they're following the government guidelines. neil: and the irony in that as you astutely pointed out a long time ago the stipulation was in the law itself is what's jacking up the prices. >> yeah. it's just bad all the way around. neil: crystal great seeing you never willess, appreciate it thank you. you get by with a little help with your friends a new report from the hill saying that several have quietly considered merging hoping that together they can find a way to share the costs that are also getting out of control for them. hill's editor in chief says two wrongs don't necessarily make a merged right. what's going on here? why the rush to merge? >> i tell you very interesting story by our reporter sarah ferris. the states are getting nervous that you have the supreme court decision that would strike down the federal subsidies. the states are scrambling for some kiep of relief and you have the state run plans talking about containing costs. they didn't want to talk to us about this they're just in the preliminary stages. this is allowed under the law. there is in that massive law, it is allowed that the states can come together in any way to contain costs. so whether that's a website, whether that's merging exchanges they are definitely trying to think outside the box because the state run plans they're going to have to be self-sufficient by 2016. so therefore, they're trying to figure out how they can do this. neil: with the supreme court ruling let's go to your astute point that the supreme court the subsidies are a big no-no. going against the constitution can't have them. wouldn't it make things worse and more have to merge and we wouldn't have state mergers and other states looking to pool resources. we might get a rampant come together? >> absolutely. that's why this story came together because the states are nervous about the king v. burwell case and they're trying to think of okay, if we lose, if the obama administration loses what happens? what can we do at the state level? that's why they're touching base with the state run plans. how do you do it? maybe we could merge? how would it work? very complicated but certainly the talk are under way right now and a lot of the sources would not reveal the states, they don't want to get that out there. certainly there are a lot of behind the scenes discussions about what to do if the subsidies are struck down. neil: bob, you would know this certainly better than i. the administration says health care related costs are going down are they talking about health care increases the rate of increases are going down we've seen premiums as we discussed in the prior segment rocketing. we've seen to your point and this exclusive publication that exchanges have to merge to deal with these escalating costs. >> right. neil: which world is right here? >> well, it depends how you count the numbers neil. certainly there have been claims the president saying the families would save $2500. that has been debunked. that's not accurate. administration is saying you're saving money based on what the hour would have gone up. neil: like proving a negative. if we didn't help the banks in the meltdown we would have had dinosaurs fleeing the earth. >> both sides give in and say you were right you were right. they're going to cherry pick stats saying the premiums are going down but the asterisk about going down. neil: now it's just a pain in the asterisk. bob, always a pleasure you bring a lot to the table. appreciate that. have a safe weekend. >> you, too. >> the bitter boomers are back and they're ready to respond to gasparino getting saved. >> i was trying to insult you millennial generations. >> the third grade classrooms i can read so much better than you.

that's a big issue. >> that is something everybody is taking into account, and yes, it has to be lightweight moving you can move with it quite easily but some of the technology will allow you when taking a step forward to help you make that step forward. neil: i don't know i think i know this a little better than you but in robocop the technology went cab looy times. >> that's one of the things to making sure. these sort of things are to make, to protect military. there's lots of -- neil: not to replace them, everyone dreams of a body of soldiers that would replace soldiers so we don't have to put guys at risk. we're not quite there yet. >> right, they're considering things to putting a little robot out there. almost like a remote control where somebody could control it from behind the scenes or even we've seen robot dogs to carry different weapons. neil: i always thought that was the teaser began with a robotic dog. >> and then go from there to there. neil: a lot of wall street analysts are calling out apple for being a one trick iphone pony. a new report says get ready for another pony. 12 inch ipad. this might help the tablet sales that was one weak part of the company right? a larger tablet changing that? >> right, i think that's the main question. so again with the iphone you know, those sales are up people every few years, wear and tear, people are ready for a new iphone. with the ipad, you sit back and relax, you do need to upgo ahead to a new one. apple is faced with how can we get them to buy large ipads. >> who would use it? i read a lot, as i age, everything has to be bigger, the print and everything. who else would want something like that? >> this would be huge for the office place, basically. ipads for workers and rumblings about maybe even an ipad with a stylus steve jobs once said that whoever is making the tablet with a stylus blew it. i wonder what he would think now with the rumors bubbling up. neil: everyone loses a stylus. >> that's true. if you have a work station and this is something to in meeting rooms or something like that. apple would try to get more involved. neil: maybe the iphone itself is what has hurt the devices because a lot of folks are doing everything on that? >> right, exactly. there's also people who can't live without their tablets and different ways of using it. you're right, with a smartphone it's you on usually at all times. neil: how is the watch doing, the apple watch? >> no specifics yet. but, of course, apple says things are good and optimistic but some people haven't received shipments yet. i think this is coming into june we'll see a lot more people receiving theirs. so and then we'll see consumer adoption from there. neil: you think it's going to go well? >> i've tried it i enjoy it. i think it's a lot of fun and useful. neil: oh, really? oh! >> do you like it? what do you think? neil: it's time for me to stand. but i set it for the minimum amount. 80 calories a day and i set my goal. thank you very much samantha. in the meantime drivers can't text but pilots can?
