Neil easier said than done, one of the loudest vocal critics in the Government Community says he is frustrated. How are you . Lou im great. How were you . People are desperate. At the Grassroots Level all the way out. Now, its starting to show up in the top 500 companies of the United States. We are in very difficult straits tonights feature when you started talking about this, you werent yet heard that that you want that you cant think that companies can ignore the fallout for the fallout is fast and furious. How god is dead . I think its getting really dangerous. Because most companies right now are in survival mode. They dont know what the futures going to be like. They cant get access to capital. Customers are scared to death. We are doing stupid thing like converting corn to fuel, w are sitting on great oil reserves, natural gas, doing nothing with it. We are building solar plants in the west. It is the stupidest thing ive ever heard in my life. Neil i am going to hold you down to a maybe on green energy. [laughter] you have been a bipartisan on capitol hill. Wasting time as we pile 4 billion of debt every day. They are waiting for november for some closure. When you think happens when . The most dangerous thing in the world is a lameduck session. They cram every bill with junk. So if you dont have the money, dont spend it. We have to retreat and backup away from this and try to get our priorities in line. If this was a business, we would fire the president can fire the ceo because he doesnt know how to generate a profit or engage people to solve problems. Neil is that the president order is keep bashing capitalism . Do they go to bar the other way . I think that is ridiculous. Nobody sys i cant wait to go into work until today. Neil what should we do to get them hiring, give them expanding . Serious leadership of the country that says that this is a Free Enterprise system, lets let the Free Enterprise work. I would take a good hard look at the whole country. My taxes went up 39 and came down 49 . How can anybody get excited about that when youre like god. So somehow we have to get strategic leadership that says that we need to get this engine and the economy pumping again. Neil do you think, and this is mentioned by mitt romney a lot. You know that you are going to do things differently . Dubai that . Everybody talks about reducing taxes because they want more capital to grow their business. But its also reulations. Businesses are confronted at the township and city level. Here in chicago, you need 161 licenses to open up the business. If you open up a job shop, you have to have a license to give them a bath. Its ridiculous. Whcant we consolidate some of these things and reduce the bureaucracy . It isnt about the people collecting anything but a paycheck. Neil they must realize that the more they push this, the more it it endangers the economy and their very jobs are online. You would think so, when you . There is a lot of evidence that says those people inside the beltway are living in a bubble. Washington dc is the only city in the United States that has had taken continuous growthh what about when gas comes down . You have a gas situation where you have 4000 and their wages have only gone up about 1 . Was coming up, where is the thing going to . It leaves cut taxes. Id like to see taxes go down and someone say america is great. Lets do everything we can to eliminate obacles to success vmax my next guest says that regulations are really killing business. We have congressman eric cantor, the House Majority leader is pushing to cut the red tape. And since he does have out there, he actually has a shot at doing it. Its just too hard right now for businesses to continue to operate, given all the onerous and burdensome regulations coming out of washington. And we want to make that stop so we can turn the country around and began to be a starter country again. We know that the Obama Administration over the course of the term has imposed 400 regulations that impose more than 100 million of costs annually on Small Businesses. The Small Business administration has said that there are so many regulatory burdens on Small Business that it cost them 10,000 per employee. Those are the kinds of things that we want to stop right now so we can see more startup and jobs created. Is one thing to hope for freezing regulations. But i guess we had hoped for ateam canaday. If you dont know these regulations, you could be in big trouble. Lets say that you stop adding to the regulations. That alone has prompted the Obama Administration say, well, republicans dont want to protect us. How are you going to answer the predictable criticism that youre not looking out for folks, you are looking out for business interests . Well, we are. We are saying in health emergey, of course. Any sensible policymaker would say you have to be able to address those. But right now, the pendulum has swung so far that its very difficult to even conceive starting up your business. And we want that to occur again. Much less allowing for those who are operating businesses to keep the lights on and grow. You know, you look at the last three years. We have seen a 23 decline in the number of business startups. In america, we are a starter country and we want to see it happen again. Neil he was Ronald Reagans top money guy. Why he says capitalism is in trouble these days and its the governments fault. By the way, republicans as well. We have David Stockman acts. And Suzanne Somers on lala land going gaga over president obama. But next, ralph nader has had enough. He says that both parties in washington are flailing. And that is why the economy is and that is why the economy is failg. [ malennouncer ] its tt time of year again. Time for citi price rewind. Because your daughter really wants that pink castle thing. And you realldont want to pay more than you have to. Only citi price rewind automatically searches for the lowest price. Anif it findone, you get refunded the difference. Just use your citi card and register your purchase online. Have a super sparkly day ok. [ male announcer ] now all youeed is a magic carage. Citi price rewind. Start saving at citi. Com pricerewind. Many hot dogs are within you. Try peptobismol togo, its the power of pepto, but it fits in your pocket. Now tell the world daniel. Of peptobismol togo. When some People Struggle with their mortgage payments, they become frozen, but the people who take action, are far more likely to get the most positive outcome. Call this Free Government Program for the option thats right for you. Neil the economy is stumbling. Nothing seems to be happening, but ralph nader has got a plan. One day he says he will get Companies Hiring and fast. Getting people spending soon. Nonfinancial companies are sitting on over a trillion dollars of shareholders cash. The investors cash. A lot of them are not giving adequate evidence. Some of them like google and emc giving no dividends. If they can be pressured by Pension Funds to unload a cup and billion dollars into the economy, people would spend it. They dont like the tax penalty for it. Would you give them a tax holiday . You have to put it to use and do something . They tried that in 2004 and they brought back hundreds of villains. They put the murders and bonuses and what we have to do is recognize the president obama is not an economic dictator. The Federal Reserve can bring interest industry rates much lower. So we have to go to these two other areas are overwhelming support of inflation adjusted minimum wage. Im not alone in an environment like this, how are you going to compel businesses, fast food joints and the rest, but its in there interest to raise the rates when they are barely getting by as it is just as henry ford did back before world war i to 5. He said he wanted people to buy the cards. Thats what you got to do. Neil so what about substance of the country where they have jobs with 10 an hour. Were people really arent jumping on these jobs. Where we have a country where help wanted advertising is at an alltime high. A lot of people, for whatever reason, it are having trouble with work. We are talking between seven and a quarter and 10. He would get a longoverdue pay raise just to in just to inflation. If you have Rick Santorum and mitt romney saying the minimum wage should be ingested, that would put pressure on them. Let me ask you this. Do you think the people are as tired of the notion of government could do something . We have seen a little bang for the buck. A lot of people are going the other way. They are careful to go that way because they remember republicans. But is there a limit to what the government can do . Would you say that cars being made safely, and they say, you know, government cant make an economy as a whole. They dont have much power. We have to demand more from big business. Neil will the government demand that . Business can hardly keep up with the corporate climb. Barclays, jpmorgan chase, now, wasko, 3 billiondollar fine. We have to save these corporations. They were built on the backs of american workers. Build buildout by american taxpayers. Recording record profits. Sitting on trillions of dollars, keeping them away from their owners and the investors and the workers. Neil are you saying that there was crime involved . There was no crime involved. Are you saying that all of these guys are typical . In other words with that there are more bad guys and good guys . The big guys have too much power and are too big to fail and all that. Leches take the fortune 500. Would you say, you mentioned three prominent companies. Would you say that is 3 . 5 . 50 . I just disagree with that. If you look at the reports, my book that youve mentioned, those are reports from the wall street journal. The ap, washington post, 60 minutes. We live in a corporate world. There are not enough on the corpate crime beat. Neil economic gloom and doom is actually helping this gentleman alive. To are you kidding me . I am not kidding you. I just need 150 and not that. [ ro ] im rosa and i quit smoking with chantix. When the doctor told me that i could smoke for the first week. Im like. Yeah, ok. Little did i know that one week later i wasnt smoking. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix is proven to help people quit smoking. It reduces the urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood a suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of depression or other Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serus allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. If you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. It helps to have people around you. They say, youre much bigger than this. And you are. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. Hi hi whistling tune dont worry be happy im not going anywhere. Go right out the front door. How about that . How about that . Listen here, listen i dont give a darn, you can have it. Here is your ball. Neil here is something that israel is the economy. Its a very bad, that business that pawnshops well, he says everyone is coming in lately and even rich folks. Thats what our next guest says. She left calmly, because she had no option. When we cant take your pond item, we can help you. It started with her in it resonated on to me. We dont want to be disrespectful. When you disrespect us, wect accordingly. Neil you act a little scare away. What is going on here . You know, we are hearing so much about wedding rings and Engagement Rings and everything. We have seen an uptick in people that make a lot of money what average folks are telling you, showing you, palming onto you, tell us about the economy. We have merchandise which is up online, with the other one is for redeeming merchandise. The economy is good. Our sales floor is busier. Our palm lines are longer and we are taking in a lot more merchandise. Right now its getting a little bit better. People are working desperately to get to wok. People just need to go out and every morning when you wake up coming have to ask yourself, how bad do you want to . Go get a job, it doesnt matter if you clean the streets are mowed a lawn, or you are a doctor, there are opportunities out there. What i advise them is dont over extend yourself. Neil so my wifes 250,000dollar ring, [talking over each other] [talking over each other] weve been doing this long enough, we understand. Dont go anywhere else. Thank you very much for coming. He is the guy. We will have the response to barack obama coming up next. The capital one cash rewards card gives you 1 cash back on all purchases, plus a 50 annual bonus. And everyone likes 50 more.

Then i read a book while teaching myself how to play guitar; ran ten miles while knitting myself a sweater; jumped out of a plane. Finally, i became a ping pong master while recording my debut album. How you ask . With 5hour energy. I get hours of energy now no crash later. Wait to see the next five hours. Pick your [bleep] up. Youre not [bleep] sittin here. Yes, i am. [laughter] move. Move.

Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down i would pray ill spread my wings and ill learn how to fly ill do what it takes till i touch the sky i gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change, and break away neil it has been pretty much the legacy of this presidts term and it was handed off by his predecessor if you think about it. Auto companies, you name it. A lot of us actually started a long time ago before each of these men even came in to office. Back to the carter years, to chrysler. A very big bailout. David stockman, who was then a congressman was urging against. I was running for reelection and chrysler was the biggest employer and i got the highest of election because i suck my principles. The professionals knew that if they got in trouble, they were big enough to make a stink and to go down. Neil but now things have switched. Now they have gone from o big to fail. Up the speech that i gave and i was very unpopular in the mission michigan delegation. I voted against the appropriation. [talking over each other] Ronald Reagan might get. The point was it was a mistake then. Not only for chrysler, because we had to bail them out again 25 years later, how can we have Financial Markets that have been disciplined where mistakes and errors go unpunished . U can. Capitalism doesnt work that way. Neil i agree with you. You bertie concerned me. We had no choice because there was a financial abyss waiting. But if we can stabilize, the whole world would have collapsed. Ive been spending the last 2. 5 years writing a book on this very topic that will be coming out next winter. Take aig. They had written proper rules, they wouldnt have had these problems. Therefore, we could have put aig into bankruptcy. The only difference is one woman was writing all this stuff. So we would have survived . Yes. Neil now we have an environment where this is routinely done. The European Central bank will do the same over there. Wt has become of capitalism . The capitalism has been destroyed by central banks. They are the price of death. When you have the entire Financial System trading off the last of the statements and whispered words of the central banks, it is no longer doing its job. Or allocating capital, discounting the future, making choices within the Financial System. So if you dont have Capital Markets that are robust and working, how can you have a dynamic of capitalism . I dont think you do. This is the ultimate fault of this money printing binge that were on today. Neil up that the chicken is coming to roast . Everybody is making their own choice. We have massive speculation going on. Basically we are diverting capital to a spectrum of use. What we are telling washington, you are running a deficit for the fourth year in a row and yet you can borrow money almost for nothing. So why dont you just wait another year or two years. Who wants to take the fall . Who wants to take the political heat if you can borrow money for five years, which is what they are doing now. Neil we are building another debt bubble . Yes, we are doing so. I dont know what you call it. Weve never been there before, weve never had a central bank. Weve never had anything like that. You dont think it can walk past the graveyard much longer . I dont think so. I dont think we can whistle the tune very much longer. Okay. Neil if you had a lead suit you would buy it. [laughter] neil david, thank you so much. The president isnow speaking out. That coming up next o as you cans Customer Satisfaction is at 97 . Mmmm tasty. And cut very good. Pele are always asking me how we make these geico adverts. So were taking you behind the scenes. This coffee cup, for example, is computer animated. Its not real. Geicos Customer Satisfaction is quite real though. This computeranimated coffee tastes dreadful. Geico. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on car insurance. Someone get me a latte will ya, please . Oh blue i touched the ball before it went out, coach. Come on, alex, the ref did not call that its the championship game i touched, its their ball. Dont foul them when they inbound. Team alex good call. Neil probably not a fox alert to tell you that huge celebrities like democrats, they actually help the president win if you think about it. But not every star was going gaga over the president. Suzanne somers says that that is a risk for them as well. If you are conservative, you are not welcome in hollywood. Is it really does liberal bastion . Yes, it is a liberal bastion. They dont associate with moderate to conservative . It is all about that ideology. You know, when you make that much money, you dont care. Because you have your money. Neil would they think about when jon lovitz came along. Hes not invited either hes never going to be invited. Neil but he said enough of this. I thought that was interesting. T many people speak out like that. I have a little business, so i like to not offend anybody. So i dont tell anybody my views either way. Neil i would say im a centrist that leans to the right. Neil you have to be moderate on her persona non grata. I sell my little life with my organic skincare. Neil thats a lot of money for your little skincare line. I didnt leave tv. I was escorted and booted out the door in and fired. I get tired a lot. How dare me to expect them to pay me what they pay the men. But then it was good because i thought i will never work for anybody else again. So i work for myself, and i have all these years. Ll the Beauty Products and things, everything around her age, do you feel a lot of pressure without . To feel beautiful . I just wake up like this and its so easy. Neil me too. [laughter] i saw you talk to will tell welsh. My thing is that she knows her image is everything. Everything has to be right. Her writing is very good anyway. I feel pretty confident. Neil you know, the writing at 50 pounds, did you know that . [laughter] [talking over each other] [talking over each other] neil will this be mitt romneys disadvantage to the media . It probably is, but it wont be to me. I think that he should have come out a long time ago and said this. But anyway im glad he did. Most of my friends are. Neil hes not going to pick up any additional electoral votes, maybe he did it for all the right reasons. It couldve been perfect timing. Neil what do you mean . Well, you know, neil with some liberal friends hold off on giving him more money . I think that a contingency did. This is what they really want. If they are not thinking about the ramifications on the economy and whats going to happen in this country goes socialist. Neil do you think that this country wil go socialist . I do worry. I have my little business and i do worry. At a certain point when youre a Small Business like i am neil youre not a Small Business. You are a Warren Buffett with longhaired if you reach a point where you get to 75 , which is being tossed around there, how can you eep your employees . At some point when youre not making any profit. Neil a lot of what you say, it is 35 right now, thats what youre saying, you bring in up to 39. 6 under clinton. I might be able to live without. I might not. Is their level of cunching the numbers . You are pretty good at math . I am married to a canadian and i can always run to canada. [laughter] he has dual citizenship. Neil may be billionaires are not focusing on jobs because they are focusing on their love lives or their lack of one. How the grinch are striking out these days. It could be a real beach for it could be a real beach for jobs. Male announcer ] you are a business pro. Omnipotent of opportunity. You know how to mix business. With business. And you.

My next guest says that is bad, but this could be worse. Millionaires and billionaires are having a taxing good time finding love. But 1800flowers, jim mccann says that he has the fix for that. I am finding that the peak is in. They are all telling me about what things are all about, the number one or number two show in the country is the big bang theory, so we arall celebrating the geek. Neil this idea that ifyou have this business, very good common sense, i think they are looking for answers in all the wrong places. How do you invite them . I will tell you as a florist, it is Good Business being in an ability to help people and relationships. I have been a social worker, i have been a florist, and both have a common theme. I wrote a book about my discoveries about the thing that makes us unique on this planet which is a core of the story. The matter what, everything we do, whether its the places we work with a Service Organizations that we might want to come in the sporting activities, we are all seeking out social intimacy. And if you are a hardworking and hardcharging geek of some success or not, you may not have the opportunity to meet someone, yet we are searching for that every day. Neil you have a lot of guys that send flowers from secret admirers and all that. We are very happy to hear that. Neil you were telling me during the break that the number of guys who send flowers out is not a reflection of a date or anniversary is because the they are sorry or they did something stupid. Theres not a days that goes by that i dont have a young guy come up to me and say you saved my butt so many times because ive always screwed up. Either we make less mistakes, but its a High Percentage for young men. Not so much for the older guys. They be we have smartened up. Neil you should have an apology bouquet. We have a dog house uk. Do people use flers to make a statement . During the last few years, the top recessionary times, we saw a number of transactions with the average ticket was down. And our food businesses held up even better. A box of chocolates might be a little bit less ephemeral than a bouquet of flowers. Birthdays are still going to come around. All of those celebratory occasions are going to come around they need to participate in. We had a nice Little Service that will help others. Neil who better than the guy who plays cliff on how jobs are falling off a cliff. John mica murder on layouts that are way out of the norm. And while he says his fix is better than washingtons. Better than washingtons. Bar none. [ woman ] ring. Ring. Progresso. I just served my motherinlaw your chicken noodle soup but she loved it so much. I told her it was homemade. Everyone tells a little white lie now and then. But now she wants my recipe [ clears his throat ] [ softly ] shes right behind me isnt she . [ male announcer ] progresso. You gotta taste this soup. [ clears his throat ] [ softly ] shes right behind me isnt she . Why they have a raise your rate cd. Tonight our guest, thomas sargent. Nobel laureate in economics, and one of the most cited economists in the world. Professor sargent, can you tell me what cd rates will be in two years . No. If he cant, no one can. Thats why ally has a raise your rate cd. Ally bank. Your money needs an ally. I played a round of golf. Id in the last five hours . Then i read a book while teaching myself how to play guitar; ran ten miles while knitting myself a sweater; jumped out of a plane. Finally, i became a ping pong master while recording my debut album. How you ask . With 5hour energy. I get hours of energy now no crash later. Wait to see the next five hours. We went to a park and we handed people 10 and 20pound sandbags. Heres what happened. I just truly feel winded. I can feel it in my back. I didnt realize what extra weight on the body feels like. Oh, i definitely felt it in my knees. You can easily put 2, 3, 4, or 5 pounds on in a year. Woman 10 pounds makes a big difference. No one liked carrying the extra weight, but people do it all the time. Wouldnt you like to drop that weight and stop picking up more . Man i think this is a lifechanger for me. Neil clip is going postal. A famous actor who played clip on the hit tv show cheers, with millions of workers struggling to find work, he is working to get actors back to work. Neil it was almost ingrained in us to move away from that. It really killed us, do not. Yes, it did. I started talking about the subject about 10 years ago when the water was at her ankles and now its up to her chin. Because the average age of someone who is skilled and can make things, whether its in a fax factory or a plumber or welder is about 57 years old. Very soon, they will all be retired and we have no one coming up after them. Everyone is talking about what kind of capricorn where. But we are heading for a crisis. While business, whatever the businesses, stems from two things. Mining, manufacturing and farming. Everything springs from now. You have to have people showing up to have the skills. And we have never taught her kids the skills the last 30 years. They would sooner turn those guys away and search for cheaper labor. The reality is decades. You are not going to call a plumber from china to unclog your toilet or a welder. Neil so now you are saying that we have to encourage this. So we put almost a Scarlet Letter to a . It is hollywoods fixation they came out of the Charlie Chaplin view of factory workers. Its not like that anymore. You have to have computer skills. People who give advice to High School Kids should say, start educating kids like we used to. Neil even if they found their jobs that dont pay what they used to, in this environment, it will pay you anything you are going to get and you will be grateful for it. The government has to understand. [talking over each other] [talking over each other] neil what about barack obama . The government needs to get out of the way. Manufacturing is to america what spinach is to popeye. The strength of america is manufactured. Neil yodont think we can have a great country based on service . Again, you go back to our terminals and electricity has to come through there. Where you get do you get that from . A hydroelectric dam words power that is coalfired. And now now they have all of these restrictions on coal mining and also the hydroelectric and i have talked to the people and they said that they cant find workers that work on the turbines to repair the turbines. So the day to come. It could come when no one is around to manufacture it. Every little part has to be shaped. Someone has to take a chunk of metal and put it intothe machine and all that down to 120 southend 120,000th of an inch. Neil you been in every pixar movie. True, but in the long haul, actors, sports, celebrities, the rest of us, we arent. Neil how did you do it . How did you succeed and do the things you do . How do you you still be a big succesin hollywood . The left loves you. The right loves you. And its pretty much from as far as i as i can tell from a u. N. Plan is for it. I dont get
