Look it was bound to happen, I just didn't think it would happen so soon. The clown prince of the Florida Congressional team finally had a head explosion. It started back in the end of March when Neil Cavuto made mincemeat of him during an interview. That's when Grayson began his slide downhill. First it was his comment, “If you get sick, America, the Republicans’ health care plan is this: Die quickly.” Then, appearing on MSNBC, he said of former Vice President Dick Cheney: “I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes because of the blood that drips from...

Congressman Alan "you are a whore" Grayson is a nut job who's lack of class should keep him from leaving the "padded room," but unfortunately he is a member of congress. In the spring Neil Cavuto had Grayson as a guest on his Fox show and pulverized him. It was arguably the most entertaining interview of the the year. It was a classic on the level of O' Reilly/Frank. Grayson is on Barney Frank's banking committee. He sponsored the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009." It would impose government controls on the pay of all employees (not just top executives)...

Here is video of Neil Cavuto talking to the man who is supposed to be the "World's Fastest Speed Reader," who claims to have read the 1,500 page U.S. Senate Health Care Bill on Fox News! The video shows him finish up his reading of the bill, and then he talks (and laughs a lot) about it with Cavuto. Very bizarre. NOTE: Whether or not he actually read the whole bill, he has read more of it than the Democrats who are trying to push it through! . . . (VIDEO)

Here is video of an outstanding Neil Cavuto commentary from yesterday where Cavuto blasted White House Communications Director Anita Dunn who has been disparaging Fox News, saying "Let's not pretend they are a news network." Well, Cavuto takes off on her use of the word "pretend," but setting forth a series of "Let's Pretend" statements himself. Here is his closing section: "Let's pretend you work for the President of the United States and not some left-wing blog in the United States. Let's pretend you are as big as the historic place you work and not as petty as the less...

Here is video from Fox News' Neil Cavuto yesterday where he likened Obama's push to pass Government-run Health Care despite opposition from Americans to a man driving a car in the wrong direction who won't heed any of the warning signs or stop and ask for directions. Cavuto was giving his "Common Sense" commentary, and did an excellent job of describing what the Democrat-controlled Congress is trying to do in ramming Health Care "for all" through despite the fact 56% of Americans are opposed to it. Instead of listening to the people now, they hearken back to Obama's election win...

Here is video of Neil Cavuto talking with Anti-ObamaCare Protester Bill Rice, the man who had his finger bitten off at a Health Care Rally in Thousand Oaks, California last night. Rice cannot have his finger reattached because it was a human bite, and doctors said bacteria associated with a human bite would make it almost impossible for it to work. Rice said he was approached by a deranged man, who was pro-ObamaCare, who "came at him," and when he did he threw a punch at the man. After a second punch, Rice said his fist "wound up in his...

On Fox News Channel's “Your World with Neil Cavuto” today, Neil Cavuto discussed Governor Palin's statement on legal reform with the Washington Examiner's JP Friere. Here's the video:

Here is video of New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler yesterday on Neil Cavuto's show being asked if he would opt into Government ObamaCare should Government Health Care be passed. Nadler never really answered the question. He just crowed that he was in in the Congressional plan because he is on his wife's New York State policy, which he said is better than the Congressional Plan! . . . . (Watch Video)

While President Barack Obama's health care plan is garnering plenty of media attention including two prominent spots on ABC, Fox News host Glenn Beck says the plan won't even help the poor get insurance. Beck appeared on FNC's June 17 "Your World with Neil Cavuto" to promote his new book, "Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine" and called into question the claim that Obama's health care proposals will actually assist the poor. "Look, it doesn't even make sense," Beck said. "When you start to look at it, they're talking about savings, but...

Sacramento Tax Day Tea Party - April 15th Rep. McClintock will be speaking to the Sacramento Tax Day Tea Party at the State Capitol on Wednesday, April 15th. This should be one of the largest Tea Party gatherings in the nation. Fox New's Neil Cavuto will be broadcasting live from the event. Conservative talk show host Michael Reagan and Michelle Malkin will be there as well. We hope that you can join the thousands of people at the Tea Party. Where: California State Capitol, West Steps When: Wednesday, April 15th -- Tax Day Welcome at 11:00 am Rally from Noon...

Some groups on the left may have it out for anti-tax tea party movement, but according to one of the movement's biggest proponents - it is because they don't understand it from a hierarchical perspective. Although there are reports that ACORN, The Huffington Post and the Daily Kos wanting to infiltrate the rallies, or crying foul for other reason - Beck, who appeared on Fox News Channel's April 9 "Your World with Neil Cavuto," explained that the left has difficulty understanding it's not a top-down movement, but a bottom-up one. "It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the left," Beck said....

Man "this is entertainment." Congressman Alan Grayson D-Fla Appeared on Cavuto's Show on FBN yesterday. Grayson is on Barney Frank's banking committee and he has sponsored the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009." It would impose government controls on the pay of all employees (not just top executives) of companies that have received funds from the U.S. government. It would changing the terms of compensation agreements already in place. The Congressman couldn't answer simple questions about his bill, and Neil let him have it. This is a classic on the level of O'Reilly/Frank:

It is one thing - as Rush Limbaugh has been vilified for - to say you have a desire for the president to fail, but what about accusing the president of wanting his own policies to fail? That's what Fox News Channel's Dick Morris said on the March 25 broadcast of "Your World with Neil Cavuto." According to Morris, those who are criticizing Obama for his spending, including Daniel Hannan, who represents South East England for the Conservative Party, made famous by a YouTube video eviscerating Keynesian politics, are missing the point. Obama wants to worsen the economic conditions to...

Has the federal government exceeded, or is it on the verge of exceeding its constitutional authority with the recent series of events connected to rescuing an ailing banking system? Although Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., was ridiculed for raising that question in a congressional hearing on March 24, conservative talk show host, constitutional lawyer and legal commentator Mark Levin, told Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on March 24 that government was indeed exceeding the constitution. According to Levin, there is nothing in the Constitution that would allow the Obama administration to expand the government’s ability to seize non-banking...

I think Freepers have been wondering about this for some time. What the hell happened with Ben Stein? Has he always been a closet socialist and is now coming out of the closet? On Cavuto's program Saturday morning, he states that the government should continually shovel taxpayer money to these business in order to keep people employed. I thought that was bad enough. However, I was truly dismayed when not one dissenter of his statement make the arguement that if government got out of the way, more and more people could get employed.

Excerpt: CAVUTO: She is a conservative dream thus far -- and, boy, doesn't Rush Limbaugh know it. Now he has been talking up the Alaskan governor for some time now. In Rush's words, and I quote, "Babies. Guns. Jesus. Hot damn!" I spoke to radio talk show host just moments ago. RUSH: She has turned the election upside-down, Neil. She has united a convention. She has united the Republican base. The Republican base, conservative base is more excited and happier than it has been in 14 years, since the Republican victory taking back the House of Representatives in 1993 and...

So this topic of a Transgendered 8 year old has been posted several times on FR, but Neil Cavuto interviewed some wacky child psycholgist... While he is interviewing this dude, He shows my FR post in the background!!! I believe Caputo is a FReeper...

I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I do read a lot of it. It saves hundreds of hours to read the transcripts of what interests me, after the broadcast. I get what I want, and skip all the commercials. Thus it was that today I read Neil Cavuto’s editorial, “Personal Responsibility is Being Banned in America.” I like Neil. He comes across as a nice guy with a large amount of common sense. In the heart of that editorial, he wrote, “We're stupid. We're fat. We're lazy. We're clueless. And the government is coming in to make things...

Ann Coulter discusses Huckabee on Neil Cavuto's program. Note the Freudian slip by Cavuto, "Hick." Coulter: Huckabee NOT a Strong Conservative Ann: "He's not very good on taxes and he's not good on illegal immigration." Ann: "He's the new John McCain." Huckabee: "Illegal Immigration is God give America a chance to make up for slavery." Huckabee opposed a bill in Arkansas requiring proof of citizenship in order to vote and receive social services

Just saw Bill Hemmer with Neil show a preview. Thompson said he was diagnosed with the "good" type of lymphoma a few years ago and wanted to get the info out sooner rather than later. Neil surmised that Thompson also wanted to gauge the response of the people.

Neil has George Soros on for an interview. Should be replayed later today.

News program host chides retirement group for opposing Social Security reform while establishing mutual funds. Fox News host Neil Cavuto slammed AARP for entering the mutual fund marketplace after opposing President George W. Bush's proposal to invest Social Security funds in the stock market, calling the organization "hypocritical." AARP Vice President of Investment Services Nancy Smith defended the 36 million-member elder American advocacy group. "I'm not saying that all of the Social Security dough, just part of the dough [should be] invested in the market," said Cavuto, the host of Fox News's "Your World." Cavuto called the current Social Security...

<p>Legal, good. Illegal, bad. That's the whole immigration mess summed up.</p> <p>I know I'm vastly over-simplifying things here, but I think it's time we see this issue for what it is: more heat than substance. The heat is that somehow a nation concerned with its borders has forgotten its past. It hasn't.</p>

December 23, 2005 Coulter Discusses College Liberals, Politics (VIDEO) Ann Coulter appeared on Your World With Neil Cavuto to discuss her recent appearance on a college campus — where she got booed off — and liberals in general. Coulter says that college liberals yearn to get on the microphone but don’t know what to say once they get it, meaning that they can not formulate an opinion since the system has been nurturing them for years.DOWNLOAD - (windows media player)

... He's (Cavuto's father) long gone now, but can you imagine what he'd think of all these politicians railing against the war? I don't think he'd mind their anti-war position. I do think he'd mind others' lack of any position. Senator Kerry comes to mind. We should be there. We shouldn't be there. Get the troops out, but not all the troops out. Talk to our allies, but don't rely on our allies. Or John Edwards: His vote was a mistake, but we're there now, so stick it out now, but not forever now. Or Hillary Clinton: She's still with...

Did anyone else see Cavuto interview Farrakhan 10/13/2005?

...Clearly, the DOI doesn't buy the liberal hogwash circulating around the Internet by Air America supporters and Bill Press on FOXNews, that Air America's newer owner has no connection to the old one, Progress Media, that it's all about Evan Cohen, the invisible bad man. Then why does the DOI believe Air America's current owners owe the money? Why is Air America repaying it? Is it because, other than Cohen, it's primarily the same people who continued on with the company after the sale?

Last week, Fox anchor Neil Cavuto secured a White House interview with President Bush, and liberals were upset. It wasn’t tough enough. Washington Post correspondent Daniel Froomkin reported that Cavuto asked about Mrs. Bush, John Kerry’s grades, and media overcoverage of Michael Jackson, but sneered: "Who wants to talk about that messy war in Iraq, or the Downing Street Memo? Not Neil Cavuto, Fox News executive, anchor, commentator and Bush campaign contributor." Fox-defending blogger "Johnny Dollar" noted two problems with Froomkin. First, Bush was asked about Iraq and that memo at a press conference the day before, so would that...

In George Orwell’s classic book entitled 1984, one of the brainwashing pillars used by Big Brother was “ignorance is strength.” All citizens were constantly reminded of this principle to diminish their desire to know the truth. Adherence to this principle kept the government strong and the citizens weak. The Democratic leadership in Congress has apparently adopted this philosophy as a strategy to defeat the idea of optional personal retirement accounts to restructure our dysfunctional Social Security system. Week after week their rhetoric attempts to deny, distort, distract, and deceive the public on the facts about President Bush’s optional accounts proposal....

Ever since he was a young man, he and his wife have taken in foster kids. Not just little kids — older kids — sometimes what others call "dangerous kids." He gives them a good home and good opportunities and, for many, they go on to form a good life. He did the same for harassed Jewish families during the height of the Soviet Union (search). Some he helped secret out. He forced a Republican president to talk about them, save them and ultimately free them. At one point, this born-again Christian even helped arrange a Passover Seder for a...

This is to those congressmen still freaking out about not getting more advance warning about this errant plane over Washington on Wednesday: Shut up.While you were bitching, F-16 jets were flying over the Capitol () to protect you. Capitol Hill Police — paid a lot less than you — were busy trying to evacuate you. Ditto the White House ().You may not like what's going on, but some — and I stress some — of you didn't waste a nanosecond to trash the very folks trying to protect your sorry asses.One congressman even had the gall to say personnel were...

Hi Neil……. I am a sometime viewer who can’t see you regularly at 4:00, but do watch when able. I realized recently that you commonly do something I would love to do…….have a chat with Jack Welch.  I have spent considerable time online over the last 4 years cussing and discussing the various elements of mainstream media bias, especially in the 3 broadcast networks.  The discussions almost always end in wonderment as to why the various corporate individuals, the Chairman , the CEO’s and the board members condone the bias in the news organizations owned  by their  corporations. What motivates...

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto is showing no remorse for an on-air crack about Osama bin Laden wearing a Kerry button that infuriated John Kerry's campaign. Cavuto told viewers last week that his "thin-skinned" and "humorless critics seem to have selective memory." Recalling all the Democrats he's had on his show, Cavuto dismissed "threats from Democrats who now say they will boycott my show. I say, go ahead. Boycott me. Fair and balanced, I'll continue to invite you, and I'll let my viewers know when you decline -- each and every time you do."

Late last week Mrs. Edwards agreed to be a guest for our show Monday night. (Note: we also have an open invitation to Mrs. Cheney and she has been a guest on our show on more than one occasion.) Since Mrs. Edwards is not the candidate, the interview I intended to have with her was not one about policy, but more about the excitement of an election, what her plans are for Election Day, whether (if her husband and Senator Kerry win) she has an idea of what the job is to be married to the vice president, what are...

(CBS) Democrat John Kerry's campaign staff was steamed by an on-air wisecrack by Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto. Cavuto, who has contributed money to President Bush, suggested that Osama bin Laden was wearing a Kerry button. The Fox anchor made the crack Friday following the broadcast of the terror chief's videotaped message to the American people. When one of Cavuto's guests said that the bin Laden tape was not an endorsement of Kerry, the anchor remarked: "He's all but doing that. I thought I saw a button." The Boston Globe reported that Kerry aide John Sasso threatened to kick a...

DES MOINES -- John Sasso, a senior adviser to John F. Kerry's presidential campaign, threatened to ban Fox News staff from the candidate's plane Friday night when Fox initially refused to apologize for a talk show host's comment that a new videotape showed Osama bin Laden with a Kerry button. ADVERTISEMENT Kerry advisers quickly backtracked, however, concluding that an escalating conflict with a major cable channel just days before the election would do nothing to help the Democratic nominee. Kerry senior adviser Mike McCurry spoke to Fox executives Friday and yesterday and was told that the Fox News host, Neil...

I just want to see if I've got this straight: We're being very careful in Najaf not to damage a shrine being used by gunmen trying to kill us? Last time I checked, shrines were for praying, meditating and maybe even mulling. But not once, to my knowledge, for murdering. For months now, the revered Imam Ali Shrine has become a fortress: a Koran-bless Alamo. Only the Alamo wasn't a church. Just like this place is no longer a shrine.

It's the interview everyone will be talking about! Neil Cavuto sits down with the vice president on "Your World" Friday at 4pm and 1am ET. Plus, see more of the special interview on "Cavuto on Business" Saturday at 10:30am ET. At left, Neil gives FOX Fans the inside scoop on what he'll discuss with Cheney.

One thing I've learned about the Europeans is they always come back. Oh, sure, they bash our arrogance. They even bash our ignorance. They say we're not cultured or refined. They call our presidents who shoot from the hip empty in the head. They said the same of Ronald Reagan. They say much the same of President Bush. But in all these retrospectives on Reagan and his life this past week, one remarkable fact stands out -- even the Europeans come around. And Reagan is the perfect example. When he first came into office, the French press, in particular, called...

Three cheers for Fox News Channel's business ace Neil Cavuto. He's one of the few business journalists this year that has had the brains and backbone to expose the Democrats' hysterical distortions about the U.S. economy. If you missed Kerry's appearance on Cavuto's program this past week, the Massachusetts Democrat will no doubt be happy. Kerry tried to turn the show into one of his smug lectures, but Cavuto kept asking those pesky questions. Peskiest question of all: Why does Kerry keep attacking the 5.7 percent unemployment rate when Bill Clinton was bragging about a similar rate when he...

No offense to the 9-11 Commission, but I'm sick of the 9-11 Commission. I know it hasn't even released its report on what led to the tragic unfolding of events that day, but I'm no longer obsessing over that day. I'm focused on "this" day, "these" days. I am focused not so much on threats, real or imagined, before Sept. 11, but on threats very real and far from imagined post-Sept. 11. I find it incredibly ironic that during a week past and present administration officials were being grilled on what they knew and when they knew it, the militant...

When I was in college, there was this one guy on my dorm floor, Steve, who was the certifiable expert on everything. Talk about the Yankees? "The win's in the bag." A Steven Spielberg movie coming out? "Money in the bank." Carter-Reagan 1980 (yes, I'm dating myself)? "Carter, without question." Needless to say, Steve didn't exactly bat a thousand, but that didn't stop him from batting around his opinions. What amazed me was how many people in my dorm at the time took Steve's word as gospel. Maybe because Steve was loud. Maybe because Steve was big. I don't know....

Commentary: Cavuto's straight talk is wooing viewers NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Ask Neil Cavuto, the managing editor of business news for the Fox News Channel, to name his dream interview and he gets right to the point. "The Pope," Cavuto said. "I'd ask, `How long are you going to stay?'" Cavuto said, tongue-in-cheek. That's the kind of feistiness that the media industry has come to expect from Fox (FOX: news, chart, profile), News Corp.'s (NWS: news, chart, profile) cable television network. While Fox is ordinarily associated with such highly opinionated talk show hosts as Bill O'Reilly, Cavuto's work is quietly...

Call him the king of cable business news. Fox financial news chief Neil Cavuto - not CNBC - now boasts the five highest rated stocks and bonds programs on the cable dial. While Fox News' tough-talking star anchor, Bill O'Reilly, generates lots of buzz for the network, Cavuto has built a formidable biz news fiefdom. Cavuto's daily show, "Your World With Neil Cavuto" led the pack in 2003 with more than a million viewers. That's five times the audience of CNBC's recently canned "Business Center," and 54% more than CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," which has morphed into a general news...

This is the time of year journalists begin comprising their list of big events. The stories that shaped our lives and the individuals who shaped those stories over the past year. I'm not really big into lists. I have a hard enough time remembering what I had for breakfast. I am big into big picture things; sometimes dopey things, but for me, meaningful things. When I look back on 2003, I will remember not just a war or a captured tyrant, I will remember a theme. For my money, in my mind, and in my heart, this was the year...

Now that we've eaten turkey, I want to talk turkey. I want to talk holiday spending. I want to talk big holiday spending. Because, mark my words and save this column, holiday sales are going to be huge. Huge. Why? Because contrary to media reports, most of us are still bummed out. I think we're ready to bust out, and we're going to be busting out in malls and stores across this country these next four weeks or so. What has me so upbeat? Little things, really. Little things like Tom. Tom's a friend of mine. He's a nice guy,...

In all this coverage of the pope's golden anniversary, one alarming little item passed my desk. Apparently he knows when he's going to die. I don't know how he knows, but suffice it to say he knows. He's told his closest confidantes this and seems largely motivated by this. Now there are a lot of people who don't flip over the Catholic Church and think even less of the pope for presiding over numerous scandals. I'm biased, of course, as I'm Catholic. I think he's done a remarkable job and, along with Ronald Reagan, probably even spearheaded the collapse of...

I think I know the real reason why Gray Davis didn't survive the recall race in California. Forget about that energy crisis, or the mounting budget deficits or all those hikes in state-college tuition. Those were big problems, but nothing compared to old Gray himself. I'm sorry to say this, and no offense to the outgoing governor, but Gray was gray. Gray was bland. Gray was dull. Gray couldn't inspire a cricket, which clearly explains why he didn't inspire a majority of California voters. I once had a friend like Gray. His name was Chip, which you'd think would imply...
