The one side deal to pass the 4 trillion blueprint of the budget unlocking that door to tax reform to begin and House Speaker paul ryan confirmation that there will be a fourth tax bracket dedicated solely for taxing the rich. Fair and balanced reaction is the budget now gets kicked to the house. New york republican congressman tom reid, democratic congressman of california, these are two high tax states that they come from. Theyll gaze into their crystal ball and see if the house can make this budget revenue neutral. Nothing neutral about this one single. Yes, he is. Youre made by a new york mets fan turning into a silent rally cry for the new york yankees and turning a nice profit at one Small Business in chicago. Well tell you why this Small Business is giving that thumbs down heard around the world a thumbsup. And its been nearly two months since Hurricane Harvey trash the Texas Oil Fields dragging gasoline prices up across the country. We have the ceo of Drilling ServiceCompany Canary with the latest report from the front lines. Were less than an hour. Were not allowed to leave because were about to start the countdown. Liz breaking news with halloween just 11 days away, we just got this intraday chart up, and you can see that the vix with 11 days away from volatility is starting to scare away the bears. Right now the vix volatility index sitting below ten. This is a fear index that lets you know how much concern, worry, and angst is in the market. The more it goes, the more people feel its really calm out there and the coast is clear. Sometimes this is the sign of a market top. But right now, we are keeping a eye on it. The promise of the tax reform is really sending a bull stampeding to neverbeforeseen highs. Right now, all three major embassies on track to end the day at a record. All three of them and close out the week on quite the blockbuster. You talk about dow 23,000, were at 23,295. Over just a couple of days. Both the dow and the s p are looking at six consecutive weeks of gains. Financials are leading the charge on wall street at this hour. Were looking at Goldman Sachs and jp morgan. Theyre sitting at the top of the dow while bank of america is leading the s p 500 and hitting a nineyear high. Look at this. We have goldman up nearly 2 . B of a is up 2 fully. Wells fargo up 2 . So were watching these financials help bring along the rally. They often say, in case youve never heard this. But you cant really have a full throated rally without the financials coming along with it. Investors are cleaning out shares of Procter Gamble out of their portfolios today. The maker of tide dedetergent and paper towels falling after reporting another quarter of somewhat sluggish growth. Stock is down four and a quarter percent right now or 3. 89. Traders are pushing the sell button on the Consumer Products giant, even despite the companys big victory over activist investor necessarily who was pushing very hard to get on the board to change things up. To the white house where questions continue to swirl over President Trumps election of just who will be the next fed chair, the press briefing just wraps up 20 minutes ago. Blake burman, we have some inside scoop from our own Maria Bartiromo that can clarify. And does it narrow down . Because yesterday we talked about the five candidates, so we see a bit of a narrowing down right here on fox business; right . We have. So those five being janet yellen, gary cohn, and john taylor. Weve been giving you these five names for the better portion of a week now. But Maria Bartiromo earlier this morning here at the white house sitting down with the president asked him about this, and it appeared, liz, maybe he is down at this point to two, possibly even three of the five. Here was his answer to maria this morning when maria asked him who he wants leading the Federal Reserve. Well, as you know ive been seeing a number of people. And most people are saying its down to two. Mr. Taylor, mr. Powell. I also met with janet yellen, who i like a lot. I really like her a lot, so i have three people that im looking at, and there are a couple of others. I will say i will make my decision shortly. Pretty shortly. The president there not mentioning his top economic adviser gary cohn also not mentioning kevin. However, also mentioning janet yellen. That is a remarkable 180degree turn from the campaign trail in which he claimed that yellen was at points too political. Should be ashamed of herself. Essentially, he said, that he was a political arm of president obama and there to help Hillary Clinton get elected. So at the press briefing this afternoon, i asked sarah sanders, well, whats changed . I think hes been having the opportunity to spend some time directly communicating with one another, certainly through this process. But beyond that, again, im not going to weigh any further into this process and where we are, other than the fact that the president will make an announcement on it soon. The president says well make that announcement soon. Leaves her agent november 3rd, so this is coming at some point in the next two weeks. By the way, janet yellen was at the white house today meeting with gary cohn. You can put down the sirens on that one, im told. It was just a standard meeting. Nothing to do with the fed. Kohn, by the way, has recused himself from the search process because hes a final contender. Liz were checking fed on futures, which gives us indication on the bets and the possibility of a december hike. Yesterday, blake, they were at 87 for december. And today, theyve gone up to what . 91 , melanie . About 91 . So were just nine Percentage Points that we will see a hike. Blake, thank you. By the way, you could argue that the gains were seeing in the stock market today really do not so much to any clarification on who will run the fed but on something that happened last night. The senate last night kick starting republicans massive tax reform effort after passing a 4 trillion budget deal 5149 with senator rand paul, the lone republican with the no vote. However, even though a fiscal year 2018 budget blueprint passed the senate, both the house and the senate still need to agree on this final budget resolution, rather, between their two different versions of the measure with the house plan calling for revenue neutral tax reform. Meaning not adding to the deficit. That is a hard trick to pull off. Here to discuss the hurdles the gop still needs to jump over, a fox business exclusive with representative tom reid of new york who serves on the house ways and means committee. Welcome, congressman. As a republican, i want to just get right off to this. You must have been happy last night that the senate is pushing it back to you all. But now youve got a big mountain to climb, and that is getting things revenue neutral on this budget. How are you going to do that . Because right now, ive seen a lot of guesstimates that say it adds to the deficit. Well, you know, obviously, last night was good news out of the senate. They moved. And now were going to take up that vehicle, and im very confident well get it to the finish line in the house. That sets up tax reform. And as you talk about revenue neutrality, obviously, that takes up a difficult task. And the time is now and upon us to get this done for the american people. Liz well, one way that you could get in more revenue to erase whatever debt is being compiled with these new plans, is this socalled salt plan the i guess in essence, its really for hightaxed states, but it would affect all states. That they would eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes that people in new york, california, and highertaxed states have depended on to even out a very hefty tax bill overall. You are from the state of new york. Are you for eliminating this deduction or against it like your fellow republican compatriots in new york peter king and a few others on the democratic side . Well, of course, when you talk about state and local Tax Deduction coming from new york, its something that ive made my thoughts known on from day one. But i do believe theres a solution to this problem. Its a 1. 3 billion worth of score space that the state and local deduction represents. And what we need to do is maybe we can find the Common Ground where we can come to a compromised solution that stands for the hard identify working taxpayers of the districts across new york as well as the city of new york. And i think theres a path there. And i will tell you, theres been very positive conversations amongst members that say weve got to get tax reform done for all americans but at the same time, we have to see how this impacts the Tax Deduction on our constituents that we represent in washington. Liz again, i think what bothers a lot of people is that corporations would still be allowed to deduct it. But individuals couldnt. And when asked about that, President Trump said, well, you have to let is corporations do it, otherwise, theyll go out of business. If you dont let individuals do it, some of them may go bankrupt. This is an issue. But lets dovetail to the fact that people are now wondering about this fourth tax bracket that President Trump talked about a couple of weeks ago. But that paul ryan, speaker of the house, kind of confirmed today this morning, in fact, on a television during a television interview. What do you consider an ahigh net worth level in a bracket that would be that fourth socalled tax on the wealthy . Well, you know, i was sitting right next to the president when he made the first public announcement that the wealthy is not the goal of getting tax cuts to the wealthy, that the wealthy may have to pay a little bit more at the end of the day. And what were talking about with this fourth bracket is to make sure we honor that mission. That were going to relieve the tax burden on hardworking americans that we represent across the nation. And when we talk about the highest bracket being put back into the mix, i think thats a legitimate recognition of where we stand, and lets face it. The other side has said repeatedly they want to make sure that the top 1 pay their fair share, and you see Warren Buffett out there. Lets honor what he wants to do and pay a little bit more and get the relief for 300 million americans. Liz let me interrupt you here for a moment, congressman. Youre looking at secretary of state defense jim mattis and john mccain, the senator from arizona. Theyre standing, folks, this is breaking news. Live pictures. Theyre standing outside senator mccains office. Brad, what are they talking about here . I cant hear. They are talking about the firefight on october 5th that killed four u. S. Soldiers i just want to listen in because, of course, senator mccain is head of the Senate Armed Services committee. Regular meeting is that we can Work Together in these very difficult and challenging times. I am proud to know him. Secretary mattis, would you say its a matter of days thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Secretary mattis, would you say its a matter of hours or a matter of days or months . Liz reporters are trying to get an answer about an investigation that is now being launched into that firefight where at least one service men was left behind for 48 hours in niger after the firefight and theres no answer as to a timeline for that. Representative reid, did you hear that . I did. That is news to me, and im sure well get to the bottom of it because we talk about our men and women that are in harms way, and it unites us as a country. Gets us to the bottom of anything thats occurring to make sure that we do our best to make sure they come home safe and sound in future events. Liz absolutely. We want to thank you very much representative tom reid of new york and fair and balanced coming up. We are going to be speaking with democratic representative brad sherman of california because now that budget plan gets kicked back, of course, reverts to the house. Theyve got to fix it and then send it back to the senate. Its like a pong game. Remember. Okay. . Atari . Come on. Well see. Its one of the oldest slogans in Corporate America with the closing bell 47 minutes away, ge, we bring good things to life.

Liz whoa, breaking news. And this is stunning if youve been watching us all day long, and i hope you have. Shares of General Electric clawing their way back into the green. Just a few minutes ago after hitting a twoyear low earlier on all kinds of really bad news. You can see intraday it started off just a disaster. The company says it has a divest of 20 billion of business over the next two years. Earnings missed. Adjusted earnings forecast well below 30 of expectations. A ton of Short Interest. People betting down this stock. Just about everyone at some point, including most of you watching have held this stock in your portfolio. It has been shaping up to the one of wall streets most epic makeovers with new management. So during that earnings call, ges new ceo john flanry said quote our results are unacceptable to say the least. Things will not stay the same at ge. And as we mentioned, the shares completely plummeted. But now, they are bashing back their way through that negative ceiling, and im still looking at green right here. Ill be at almost flat. Ge is fighting back, even though its still the worst performer on the Dow Jones Industrials. Can it turn things around and still be the shining star of your portfolio . Is now actually when times are darkest, the time to buy . We bring in the floor show and our traders. I want to begin first with you, john. Are you surprised by this claw back in this final hour . Listen, when you look at a stock like ge and what theyve been through and if you look at over a long period of time, theyve become many Different Things to many different people, and their not very good at all of them; right . They have to find what their sweet spot is really and focus on that. So pairing down 20 billion in businesses is the right idea. But what investors have to understand is thats a really big cruise ship, and it takes a long time for that to turn. So, yes, this news is beneficial i think shortterm and longterm. But youre not going to really see the results for quite some time and still, until they start really, definitely exiting some of these businesses that they say theyre going to. Liz chris, the shorts. Pumped up 100 million alone today in their bets against ge. Bringing the Short Interest to more than 3 billion. This looks like a classic maybe buffett moment, although do you see it differently . And does this stock even belong in the dow anymore . Did i even say that . I mean, people are asking that question. Its the cheapest stock in the dow. Yeah. Well see. Well, theres an old theory buy the dip on a twoyear low, youre going to see people step in and theres a lot of buying interest. And what you put out, thats a huge short bet. So you have to think whats going to cause it to spike up . If we get any sort of move on 2, 4, 5, 6 , that could cause everybody who came to the party late to have to buy back. So you wouldnt think a company with a market cap like that would be a day trading stock, but you might get movement here. And lets face it. We have a whole lot of movement, you have interest in that. So youve got your chance here. If you want to step in and buy the dip, you know, have at it. But thats a longer term outlook, i think what the gentleman said before me is right. This is going to take a while to turn around. But certainly, if youre a longterm guy, step in there and buy some. And as far as whether or not it belongs in the dow, thats a whole nother we could talk about two or three hours what stocks belong in the dow. Longterm about the s p. I must demand a two or three hour show. Maybe sunday night. You and me, chris. Allen and harry, im just looking at oil right now. Its starting to show a little bit more muffle, although, its kind of flat today on the session. Due to the fact that we still have less robust demand here to balance it is outta whats going on in iraq and the kurds in a very oilrich area. But the rig count, is it balanced right now . Were going to talk a little bit more about that later. But what do you foresee here . Were at 51. 90 in the aftermarket session. What ive been seeing right now in crude oil is buy the dips. Weve been talking about this on the show for months now. When it got to 44. 44. 50 everybody said lower for longer and all of the big players said they got flat. You knew that was the bottom of the market. The reason why is if it cant go any lower and everybodys getting out, theres some real strong buying. And there was, and weve been saying it all along. However, we also said that 52 to 52. 5 was the get out point. Were here. Weve been here a couple of times. So right now, youre going to see flat. So what im doing is im buying dips, but i have to be patient. I bought a dip down to 49, but there hasnt been too many dips. Thats why patience is whats going to be important here. So thats what im looking at right now. Liz well, i hope you guys are looking at a relaxing weekend for once. John, chris, allen, thank you very much. Have a nice weekend. Liz we need to watch wall street week tonight. Maria bartiromo is talking tech with mark herd, the ceo of oracle. 8 00 p. M.

Liz has a fans reaction at a game turned into a viral sensation until last month when one silent protest from a mets fan at a yankees game no less turned into an internet sensation. Gary denier, a courthouse assistant, hes from queens. He gave the numbs down after the yankees hit a threerun homer and season push against the tampa bay raise. Tonight as the yankees make a run at the world series, the bronx have turned that worldrecognized nonverbal diss of something bad into something good. Theyre now all doing it every time they score a run or hit. One Small Business said were getting in there and reaping a profit. Brett is the founder and ceo 500 level, a unique tshirt company capitalizing on the gesture. All right. Brett, so as a mets fan, this fellow gary denier ends up at the yankees tampa bay game due to an emergencychanging venue from florida to city field, which is where the mets usually play because of hurricane irma. He hates the yankees. So when they scored instead of booing, this picture was captured by tv cameras. He stoically silently giving the thumbs down gesture. You saw that and thought what . First of all, thank you for having us on your show. This is great. We partner with todd frazier, and i cant take all the credit. Todd frazier was instrumental along with our artists in coming up with this great design and promoting it both on his website shoptoddfrazier. Com and 500 levels. So it was really a collaboration with the player, which is a dream come true. Liz my floor director is a yankees fan, so he insisted on wearing this tshirt so we can see it. So you were stoic until you just yelled that. But it has the pinstripes, the thumbs down. Tell me how you started printing it, where you got the actual artwork, and how your Business Model works so that everybody kind of seems involved. All of your customers as well. So thats a great question. We partner with, you know, over 700 different artists. So obviously, we have great diversity in our designs. Like i said before, we cant take all the credits on this design. This is todd frazierinfluenced, obviously. And he took that from the man in the stadium. But, yeah, we circulate, and we get designs from a myriad of artists across the world that are generally topical or current plays that have occurred in games either the night before or the day before. And so thats really the genesis. Liz okay. Tonight is the big game, and its the astros versus the yankees game six. So heres my question. How is this going to work . Are you printing a bunch of these in anticipation that the yankees will win . Do you call the vegas oddsmaker so that youre not left without enough inventory . Actually, thats the luxury of our business. We print on demand. So we dont carry inventory. We print as the demand comes. And so well be running ads and hopefully catching the wave as the yankees win another game tonight. Liz and mr. Hernandez, Enrique Hernandez of the dodgers, it doesnt just go for the yankees thumbs down tshirt, he made a tshirt and suggested you sell it related to the hurricane; correct . Correct. Correct. Has been an amazing partner along with other groups like select sports group and, you know, it the dream come true is being able to partner with all of these organizations and players and, obviously, were huge fans of all sports. And when you get to partner with a guy like hernandez who hit three home runs last night, i mean, how great is that . Liz well, ill tell you whats really great is you have a redhead. Dodgers Justin Turner tshirt because he has that wild red beard, which is amazing. And i want to know how that ones selling. Its selling amazingly. Obviously, the dodgers win. Its bittersweet. Im a cubs fan. But liz oh, you had your chance. I know. Im happy when all of our products sell. And that one, especially, is doing really great, and i think its a true testament to the artist. Its really creative. I love the design. Liz go indians. What . Hold on. Why arent they part of this discussion . Brian, good luck to you. Thank you. Thank you. Liz i have my shirt. Im ready to go. Even though i have to root for dodgers because im from los angeles, ill give it to my son whos a yankees fan. Closing bell in 27 minutes. We like those Small Business stories.

Confirmed a major change to the republican tax reform plan. A fourth tax bracket for highincome earners to ensure that the ultra rich do not see a big rate cut. Will this move be enough to get at least some democrats onboard . Were going to ask one of them. Congressman brad sherman of california standing by on capitol hill. What he says it will take to get his Party Members to cross the aisle on tax reform. Six in the morning. She thought it was a fire. It was worse. A sinkhole opened up under our museum.

You just cant look at this guy enough. The 54yearold courthouse assistant and mets fans look at him with his look thumbs down gesture after a big yankees play. So will he get to root against who . The yankees . Will it be the astros . L. A. Dodgers clinch the world series position last nature. And lets take it right now to california to talk about tax reform. The stated red line for democrats has been very clear for several months, and that is no tax cuts for the rich. For the democratic perspective, congressman brad sherman of california joins us now in a fox business exclusive. Hey, congratulations to the dodgers. Well win you back, liz. Stop rooting for the indians. Liz i like the underdogs, congressman. Speaking of underdogs, you and the Democratic Party said the underdogs are the middle and less wealthy classes. They should be the ones to get the tax cuts and that there should be no tax cuts for the rich. That was the red line. Now that you see that paul ryan is stating it today, President Trump has stated it, that there may be that fourth tax bracket of high, high rich people and if they would be subject to more taxes here, are you ready to at least consider going to the table on the tax reform plan . No. The opposition to this tax bill would be bipartisan. Whether any democrat will support it, i dont know. Because its going to cut trumps family taxes by over a billion dollars just by eliminating the state tax. And it slashes the tax rate on exxon from 35 down to 20 , almost a 50 reduction. You slash exxons taxes, you slash taxes from multibillionaire families, its hard to sell that. Liz but theyre not, it appears, to slash taxes. Except that they eliminated the estate tax which, you know, really does affect a very small percentage of families when they are hit with it. But nonetheless, there are some that would have to give up their people always use the farmer situation. But trust me, there are a lot more than farmers who get hit the with estate tax, and there are smaller businesses. But i dont understand quite clearly why the democrats once they are faced with this fourth bracket that would tax the very high rich or put them in a higher tax bracket of why you would then still say that you wont go to the table. Well go to the table. But a trillion and a half dollar increase in our budget deficit, slashing taxes for giant corporations, eliminating estate taxes for the trump family and for other families and most of that money comes in from families worth more than 100 million from one family. That thats hardly a starter for democrats. Liz well, what could they add as a sweetener to it that could change your very strong opinion here . I would like to see immediate american taxes of the money earned by american corporations abroad. If we did that consistently, then we wouldnt have all of these factories moving overseas and finally, we get the kind of labor shortage that we need in america to push up wages. Liz well, President Trump is really wanted and tried to lure Companies Back by lowering the tax rate so that they didnt flee to lowtaxed countries. Hes going to a zero tax for what they make overseas. So right now, we have a liz that could be compromised. There might be willing room there to at least make them pay something. We would like to see that and on a continuing basis. He has an immediate small tax on the profits theyve earned overseas. But then he goes to zero for whatever they do in the future. So if youre planning for the future, yes, youll pay a little bit lower tax on a factory in the united states. But youll pay zero, a massive reduction from 35 down to zero for the factory you build overseas. That is an attack on everyone who is fooled into voting for donald trump. Liz oh, boy. But, listen, we can only hope that we do see some relief for the middle class. Its good to good to be with you. Liz closing bell ringing in 16 minutes. Its been nearly two months now since Hurricane Harvey blasted through the houston area. Historic rains virtually shutting down gulf oil operations. 25 of the nations Refining Capacity offline at the height of the storm. Seven weeks later, yes, the picture is looking better, but not for all. Coming up, Drilling Services canary with footprints from texas to north dakota giving us the real deal on where things do stand post harvey. It matters to how much youll pay for gasoline. Prudential asked these couples how much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Retail. Under pressure like never before. And its connected technology thats moving companies forward fast. Ecommerce. Real time inventory. Virtual changing rooms. Thats why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent Network Speed across multiple locations. Every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. Leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. Comcast business outmaneuver. Liz so now it has been nearly two months since Hurricane Harvey struck houston and shut down 25 of the nations Refining Capacity with pipelines that deliver Energy Around the u. S. And shutter the critical shipping ports of houston, corpus christi. So at the time, prices skyrocketed because refineries couldnt come back. Well, theyve worked to come back moment by moment, bit by bit after getting knocked out by these multiple hurricanes. Time to bring in a guy whos right in the thick of this business. Canary coal mine or in this case the oil field. Ceo of Drilling Services Company Canary, and were joined by dan ever heart. How does it look now, dan . Well, thank you for having me back. I think it looks a little bit better. But theres still definitely a lot of room to run to get back to where we were. So just to put it in perspective, these u. S. Government released 5. 3 Million Barrels of oil to help cover the refinery production shortage post Hurricane Harvey. The production, you know, was off about 3. 5 Million Barrels in terms of the refinery capacity post Hurricane Harvey. And today, here we are two months later only a million five of that 3. 5 million has come back so far. True. And when we look at the price of gasoline a year ago, it was more like i want to say 2. 23; right . Per gallon, and thats sort of the retail price here. Now its 2. 46. Uhhuh. Yeah. So it depends a little bit on what state youre in. But, yes. Liz so, yeah, were looking at prices that are marginally higher here. But lets talk about the socalled imbalances because we didnt have Refining Capacity for a while, so we didnt get gasoline. Then once they started up again, we had a shortage, a little bit of shortage of crude because that started to go through the refining systems; correct . So are we rebalanced yet . Yeah, i think the u. S. Market and the Global Markets are rebalancing, and i think its partially a hurricane story. But even bigger than that, its a glory supply store relating to the u. S. Shell and the oil bust that started in 2014. Ill tell you that i think that the markets have become more balanced. The u. S. Stockpiles peaked in march about 400 peaked in march, and theyre down about 15 to 456 Million Barrels from the march high. So i think the drawing down the u. S. Stockpile shows that the market is now more towards undersupply than oversupply, which is what caused oil to, you know the precipitous fall that happened in 2014 and 2015. So i think were just entering an Inflection Point and a point where the market is undersupplied with crude. Well, weve been talking about tax reform all day today because, of course, last night the door was open because Senate Republicans were able to pass a budget in some form but now has to be tweaked by the house and back to the senate. But putting that aside, what would tax reform mean for the oil and Energy Industry and Companies Like yourself . Sure. Well, i think, you know, for our industry specifically, i think the idc is the intangible drilling cost being able to deduct that is a Capital Expenditure is huge to keep the industry drilling to find new resources and production to keep gasoline prices low. I also think as part of the tax reform package, one of the things on the table is opening up, and i think that could potentially bring in up to a billion in new revenue during the first ten years, and i think that could potentially be part of the way we pay for tax reform that lowers taxes. I also think just as an average american, i think, you know, tax reform and tax simplicity could take some of the frictional cost out of the tax system and spur the economic growth. You know, we had gdp growth of almost 8 after reagan did the tax reform in 1986. So we havent seen gdp growth rates anywhere near that in the reason future. Liz and, of course, tax cuts done by president kennedy worked nicely. Well wait and see. Dan, thank you so much. Thank you. Liz the canary ceo.
