Future for the midterm elections but here is what the Democrat Ralph Northam said early this morning about all of this. He said, we are the bellweather people are looking at us to see what direction we go in it. They want a governor who has some fire in his belly who will stand up to the detrimental policies coming out of washington and someone who can take virginia to the next level. So that was Ralph Northam, he did vote earlier this morning as did his opponent republican ed g illespie, who voted earlier this morning. Now President Trump who has tweeted on be half of ed gilles pie, you might say campaigned but he did that without coming to virginia, now robocalls to gel espy supporters to get them to the polls the president telling them if you let Ralph Northam be governor he will be a total disaster for your state. Hes weak on crime, weak on immigration and is your lt. Governor hes driven your economy right into a ditch so the bottom line charles the country is really watching this election especially political pundits, republicans, democrats, the outcome of this race crucial and the polls have tightened in the last couple of weeks. It is neck and neck. Back to you. Charles adam sha pir a thank you very much now connell mc shane in new jersey with the latest. Connell . Connell charles i know you know the state quite well and with the two term republican. Governor your Chris Christie unable to run because of term limits it doesnt mean hes not a big part of the story in this race in fact because christy is so unpopular in the polls the democratic candidate phil murphy former Goldman Sachs executive is trying to make the race the best he can and he also talked about raising taxes on upper income new jersey residents and we were with him when he voted in the Red Bank Area earlier today. On the other side lt. Governor under christy running to try to replace him. Shes trying to lower property taxes, shes gone on the attack against murphy on issues like immigration, but christy continues to hover over this race. One of the big issues as it always will be or one of the Big Questions charles is about turn out. Four years ago when mr. Christy was reelected there was a 40 turn out in the race and there have been some projections that today and tonight the turnout could be even lower than that. It will be something to watch with the polls closing at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. Back to you. Charles thank you very much connell mcshane. Now i want to bring in corey stuart the republican candidate in the Virginia Senate race. Corey thanks for joining us. My pleasure. Thanks for having me on. Charles tell us how you feel weve got an hour left before the polls close there. Your state neck and neck really all eyes are focused on virginia i think what northam said its right. It is a bell weather and a proxy not just for the nation but perhaps for 2018. Well i think it is definitely true in virginia. If we win or even come very close in virginia, it does prove that virginias enemy and that it is possible to knockout tim cane as ed gillespie went further to the right and did hard edged ads more in tune with what i was running earlier this year and the president , his poll numbers increased and that shows what virginia is looking for and thats why we may in fact win tonight. Charles corey you in fact were, you can almost argue that gillespie borrowed your template how to run and compete in this and issues like immigration for instance became a hot button issue. Why is that and explain how the democrats overreacted particularly from the latino victory fund. Corey well look all of virginia is very concerned about illegal immigration. You might not think if thats true because virginia is not a border state but weve got ms13, other illegal alien criminal gangs and theyre not just in Northern Virginia, theyre all throughout the state and all along the 81 corridor in western virginia and it is a serious issue that affects not just republicans, but even a ton of independent voters are concerned about this as well pass a lot of moderate democrats so thats why ed gillespie moved in that direction and yes he has borrow ed a page from my playbook from earlier this year and to his credit hes done it and as hes done so hes improved in the polls. Charles lets talk about the post mortem on this one all said and done no matter who wins a lot of apolitical folks maybe people in the middle will say this thing got ugly. A lot of mud sling and name calling and talk about race and things like that and if this is what it takes to win elections in this country, were for a long slog. Is there a chance postelection healing at some point in this nation . Corey look all this talk about healing and unity its a bunch of garbage. At the end of the day people a lot of traditional americans, republicans not just republicans but just people are sick and tired of the political correctness, working class americans, they want a fighter. They want someone whose going to fight for their values and want somebody whose pushing back on illegal immigration and want someone whose going to fight for the trump agenda across country including virginia. Thats what they want, thats what im going to give them next year and as ed has moved in that direction people have been warming up to him. I dont know if its enough but as hes moved in that direction his polling numbers improved as well. Charles are you willing to say you are willing to take a symbolic victory of sorts because im pretty sure its a lot closer than any of the experts think. Corey well i think thats right. What do they say . Immitation is sincere form of flattery. His campaign does sound a lot like the one that iran against him, so ill take it as vindication, a victory. Charles corey stuart good luck and i really appreciate your straightforwardness every time. Thank you. Charles to our panel now fox news political contributor also member of the independent women s voice board of directors and a Washington Times columnist , amy holmes reports political analyst. Ladies, corey stuart pretty straightforward there. Forget about political correctness, forget about heal ing. People want jobs, people want to get rid of gangsters, people want to get rid of illegal immigration. Was he spot on . I think so because now look the issues of race in this country are very important but now its kind of been used as americans are not really listen ing to those arguments. What we all have in common and what makes america work for everyone is wage issues, jobs, crime, ms13, of course Latino Community all of that so the issues that are running effectively which are donald trump issues affect everyone so you can address those issues. Gillespie, this is one of his benefits and i think hes going to win tonight is even when he was running for the senate is he reached out to African Americans , he went to churches, republicans normally didnt go to. He addressed all these issues republicans had given up on certain communities so thats going to pay off for him tonight as well as the fact that Hillary Clinton is on the ballot. That all this stuff with brazile , the dynamic in washington, all i think virginia ans are really bad taste in their mouth when it comes to the democrat party. Charles northam is also in an interesting pickle amy because he actually is saying too he would be against sanctuary cities, and that turned off a lot of the National Prominent democrats, but i think hes starting to see reallot in the air that you know what . Ive got to attack as well. Maybe thats a victory no matter how the outcome is for Bannon Donald trump. Thats an interesting point it could be a victory in terms of policy and the safety of virginia citizens of even a democrat has to flip flop and now say that he is against sanctuary cities but i do want viewers to remember virginia went blue for the last three president ial elections. Hillary clinton won virginia by six points so tonight, even if mr. Gillespie doesnt win he loses by two points thats not a good night for democrats. It shouldnt be this close and even julian epstein, former hill staffer on this network this afternoon said democrats should not be happy that its this much of a nail biter. Theyre effectively tied and northam should be seen as the incumbent and the fact that hes tied and cant get out of that and cant get away from gilles pie is why he will win. One thing i would add to that too we arent going to have hugs and kisses and everybody gets a pony, but i think Virginia Voter s are also demonstrating that while they want a fighter they want somebody fighting for the future, not fighting against donald trump, that mr. Northam has been running a campaign against the president of the United States and that really hasnt given him a lot of traction. Charles the referendum on donald trump youre saying north am has already lost if thats the case. I think he has when hes tied up and trying to attack donald trump and voters say what will you do for me and do for virginia. Charles National Implications from this no matter what. I think this sends a message unlike special elections with what was going to happen next year. This one will primarily because of the makeup of pennsylvania, because of the history of it being blue, and so when you have a shift of that nature, with certainly someone like gillespie , well known it sends a message that the Republican Base will turn out even though gilles pie stayed away a little bit from the president the fact is that the enthusiasm remains with the republicans and certainly its the opposite for the democrats. Charles but to that point, virginia a blue state goes red. That would be an earthquake. Charles embracing President Trump and steve bannon to a degree, that is the template for the rest of the Republican Party across the country, no matter where youre running you understand how you must run. Absolutely. It would be an earthquake tonight if ed gillespie wins the governorship of virginia and when democrats say this is a referendum on President Trump they only like it when it works in their favor. Remember 30 million democratic dollars, 12,000 volunteers and he lost. Charles a little bit short maybe he will move into the district. Thanks a lot ladies. Well, coming up democrats are in distress as we learn more about the clintons campaigns ties to the dnc and Donna Brazile filling it like crazy thats party future in serious doubt.

The party was broke and she gave the party a life line of resources in order for us to compete and thats what she did for the general election. Charles former Democratic National committee intern chair woman Donna Brazile is speaking out about why she revealed Hillary Clintons campaign deal struck with the dnc, the democratic establishment now seeming to be unraveling right in front of our eyes in todays Election Results may be another sign of things to come for the party. Joining me now to discuss tera westwood, and the daily caller editorial director. Let me start with you. A cancer i could not destroy, Donna Brazile also saying i do not report to the democratic establishment. This is serious Serious Party implosion. Well clearly, yeah the democrats have never really undergone collectively an attempt to really take a look at what went wrong in 2016, why the Party Infrastructure was allowed to be so neglected over the past eight now nine years, why they failed to reach out to Blue Collar Workers so that has left a lot of these major questions to just fester over the past few months and theyre not getting any easier to answer as democrat s lost a series of special elections they thought they would be able to contest up in the northand race is closer than they had hoped it would be so theyre obviously a lot of un addressed problems and what youre seeing is this really painful process of the party reckoning with questions about whether they want Hillary Clinton to continue speaking for the party or if theres this acknowledgment she is deeply unpopular and maybe the party does need to move on from allowing her to be a standard. Charles i think it would be amazing they do want her to speak. Donna brazile also ripped Debbie Wasserman schultz over the perks she had and listen it was the height of aerogance, the campaign was the height of aerogance, the way the dnc ran itself was the height of aerogance and they thought they would whistle their way on to the throne if you will and everything has been derailed since. Yes it was and anyone who thinks Donna Brazile or pretend ing Donna Brazile is explaining thats not real is spreading a fiction why was Debbie Wasserman schultz fired just before the Democratic National convention . Because of that very corruption they were tilting the scale in favor of Hillary Clinton and the delegate it supported Bernie Sanders were furious about that and she couldnt get in a convention where it was divided against itself already and now we find out from Donna Brazile that the cancer ran deep and i think that its very intentional on her part. Not just to sell books. Donna brazile wants to continue to be apart of the Democratic Party. Charles but she is signaling that the new Democratic Party will be the bernie party right . Isnt that the signal that were getting from this . Yes, this is a rejection to the Clinton Obama establishment. Shes looking to the future and now what you have is democrats going through conjunctions over the past few days who are upset that we are relitigating the election when thats the very thing we spent a lot of time doing since election day last year. Charles sarah its interesting 365 days ago the big topic was what will the republicans do after this major defeat, [laughter] how will they pick themselves up the party will have to dismantle and put itself back together again and it turns out that was the script for the democrats. Sarah exactly and its not clear theyve found a path forward. I mean beyond even just the Broad Strokes of the fact that the party doesnt know whether it wants to be economically populous or progressive, i mean a great example is just look at how the Northam Campaign has been run. A few weeks ago he listed a contribution and a political ad that showed a truck with a gillespie sticker trying to run over minority children and Flash Forward a couple weeks and hes suggesting he might be open to changing his position on sanctuary cities given the strength of opposition to those kinds of policies and the problems virginia had with ms13 so even in this one campaign you can see the kind of cognitive things democrats still have over these kinds of issues. Charles cognitive distance is the right phrase. Thank you both very very much appreciate it. Thank you.

Charles all right the countdown has begun House Republicans planning to bring a tax bill to vote next week but the very influential conservative group says this bill is an example of class warfare. Club for growth president David Mackintosh stating while the Corporate Tax cut leads to increase in our nations gdp the rest of the provisions on individual taxpayers fails the pro growth test. Here to discuss now texas republican congressman brian bab bon. Thanks for joining. Thank you charles good to be with you. Charles its great to have you because this is a serious issue the clock is ticking and the barbs are coming from all directions including conservative groups saying this is class warfare being conducted by the Republican Party. Thats the kind of headline i thought id never see. That is a strange turn of events. Quite frankly, i believe that i wish that everyone would have a lowering of the brackets but were being accused of granting tax breaks to the rich and i can understand where the other side is coming from as well; however i will say this charles. With the tax breaks that we are getting with all the other facets of this tax reform package, everyone is going to wind up paying fewer taxes and were going to see i think a lot of growth come out of this with our job creators down to 20 for our corporations, 25 for our pass throughs, doubling of the deductions and the things that are going to be good to make sure that we can start this growth. Its going to take growth to get us out of a 20 trillion debt hole that were in. Charles and post 3 gdp which is something that we havent experienced in a long time. I do before i let you go sir want to ask you about mueller because i know that you have been a strong critic some of your colleagues suggested he should step aside last week but over the weekend paul ryan and others kind of circled the wagon s around mueller saying hands off. Hes off limits. Whats the message to the American Public should take from this because he seems like hes conflicted in his current role. I think so too. Im very much of that opinion, when would the revelation came forth that he was at the fbi during the 2009 investigation of the uranium one corruption that was going on of russia thats where the russian collusion was occurring, and then when sifius approved the sale of uranium one and we were told that there would be no export of uranium from the United States, because we wound up losing 20 of our Uranium Resources to russia and then come to find out they were exported anyway, even without a license. They were piggybacked on to a Trucking Firm and sent to these Uranium Resources went to canada and then to we think europe and asia. Charles and we thought about this also bill clinton speaking fees 140 million in the clinton foundation. I mean theres a lot of smoke and perhaps a lot of fire as well. Congressman babin, thank you very much really appreciate it. Youre welcome thank you charles. Charles back with us facing the gop and tax plan sarah and same it holmes. Wall street journal has been very critical saying the plan faces a tremendous amount of problems, individual deductions, child tax credit, pass through income taxes, foreign payments, debt and deficits to start the list off. I mean are they going to get this done . Theyre going to have a lot to be doing because you have to remember on the senate side charles is that like karate . Something like that [laughter] on the senate side, you have those republican moderates that are going to want to see a tax plan that leaves a little bit to the left more than so say rand paul or conservative s would like, but charles i have a real problem with the tax plan that seems to be punishing political opponents , like so for example, we dont care about all those high earners in blue states an blue cities and were going to raise, limit mortgage interest deductions to 500 grand and below, et cetera et cetera. Thats a problem to say were going to use the tax code to reward our friends and punish our enemies. Charles sarah if you have to find 1. 5 trillion you find it in these states that unfortunately, they put themselves in a pickle, new york , new jersey theyve got these high taxes, spend a lot of money with major welfare programs and you have someone in mississippi saying why am i subsidizing the mortgages . Right but there are other problems that conservatives have taken issue with a bill that could threaten to derail it. One is for example, the adoption deduction thats something that a lot of conservatives want to see preserve the tax plan does away with it and there are some conservatives who want to see that top income rate be dropped, some who want to see more access to the 25 pass through rate, and the problem with that is that when you start tinkering around the edges with this deduction, that deduction, broadening access to certain types of lower rates then you start to see the cost of the tax bill plan rise and see the deficit numbers climb higher and the problem is twofold because it could mess with republicans ability to pass this in the Senate Without any democratic votes they have to keep the revenue losses to under 1. 5 trillion but also when you start to add to the deficit, then you start to lose some conservatives who are fiscally concerned as it is about the addition to the deficit. Thats what this bill brings so when you start to mess around with favored loopholes of whatever Interest Groups when you start to run the risk of that. Charles the bottom line is that some things will have to be sacrificed. Ill put it out there i think they get adoption back and hope they do something with their 25 because it penalizes marriage, salt will go unfortunately the higher tax bracket is here to say ladies thats just my two cents thank you both very much. Thank you. Charles House Republicans working around the clock pushing this tax bill forward but several roadblocks as we discussed slowing them down. Well jump moo this even deeper because it means everything, look at the market details next. Dispatcher 911 emergency. Caller my husbandhes having trouble breathing. First responders hear it a lot. And everyone age 65 and older needs to hear it, too. The flu, and its complications, can be deadly. Especially for those with a chronic medical condition. Thats why there are higherstrength flu vaccines made for seniors. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a senior flu shot. Do it today. Before the flu. Becomes an emergency. Dispatcher 911 caller she has the flu, please hurry. Charles well the house ways and Means Committee continues its second day of tax bill mark ups, the Committee Chairman kevin brady announcing that the house will vote on the gop bill next week in order to stick to President Trumps goal of passing tax reform by years end. But the gop continues to spar over key provisions so the big question is can they stick to the timeline and bigger questions is can they get it done. Tammy bruce is back along with eric shiffer, chairman and ceo of the patriarch organization. Tammy ive got to start with you because we were talking on our break that youve got the house of course which has gone through all of this drama and its like you want the machine to come out in the last second to save them but then the senate right now seems like whatever they have is going to be doa anyway. Yeah, john mccain literally said that to our partner Charlie Charlie gasparino that in the current form its dead and then the drama is at least in the house its all these special Interest Groups now are coming into talk to us. I said this last time i was here on your show. What the house is doing is irrelevant because the senate is going to be the obstruction and gum up the works and they are going to release their version on thursday, which of course doesnt have anything, any relevance at all to do what the house is doing so were going to be looking at this kind of cluster without any kind of real intent of getting something done and ive said from the beginning i dont think this will happen by the end of the year because the senate does not intend for it to be so. Charles eric in fact Vice President pence met with the senate gop and we heard from ted cruz and ted cruz didnt sound happy about the higher tax bracket among other things, so we know that the drama is thick, we know the clock is ticking we also know that the gop cannot afford any more stumbles. It cant and you know, ted cruz also i think has issues with the whole obama mandate and putting that out there too. They have to get it right but im a believer that its sort of irrelevant on the house side that this will come down to the red zone where the senate will have a battle with mccain. I think youve got flake, you have a lot of people who are antitrump who may look at this beyond charles are you saying a lot of never trumpers are on the rep side . Absolutely. I think that theres a personal component to this as well, that im concerned about. I really am and i hope that doesnt happen because i certainly believe that this tax plan will help america. Its going to help add jobs and its going to be great for the economy. I want to see it but im concerned about the never trump. Charles well is it possible that someone would put personal animosity toward the president ahead of the well being of the American Public . Well of course. Charles an elected senator would do that. You really believe that . Yes this is how far weve gone when it comes to the nature of whose in our federal government and this is why trump is president because we have seen it, weve seen it go on, its happening now, the three who were against the house plan corker, flake, and mccain. So of course its personal. Weve seen them facilitate whatever obama wanted for eight years 20 trillion in debt and suddenly theyre worried about the debt. No theyre not. Its personal, theyre bitter and theyre leaving and right now they want to do damage i think. Charles tammy, eric thank you both very very much. I want to bring in republican congressman from texas lewis gom er. Sure always good to be with you. Charles always great to have you a lot of pressure on you guys right now. So many different special Interest Groups. How is it going . How is it looking right now . Well, i mean were doing fine here in the capitol but theres just a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of us are hearing from different individuals that are doing calculations based on what theyve seen and they think they or their clients taxes are going to be going up and so naturally, theyre very concerned, so i think its going to be important that we get the information out there on exactly how you go about figuring out the tax. Charles but the bottom line, sir with all do respect, we know that certain things all due respect. Charles we know theres certain things that are traditionally or conservative orthodox that are going to be on the chopping block and so lets get it out there. What are they going to be . Is salt out . Is the 39 rate in . I mean, are these realities we have to deal with . If so let us digest it and start telling the American Public why thats okay. Well, and our guests before talking about well you know the senate will have their bill and i know we saw with obamacare the obamacare bill did originate in the senate. They just stuck a house number on it. I think we could have successfully challenged that in court if we had gonna head and done that, had a sense of the congress that didnt originate in the house because lets face it. The constitution says bills that raise revenue will originate in the house, so this is where its supposed to start. The peoples house right here. Charles but can you tell us whats on the chopping block . What do you think will go . Well i dont know. The thing im hearing raising its head and i dont think its ugly, i think its beautiful and that is lets eliminate the mandatory requirement from obamacare and that will create hundreds of billions of dollars more that we can put into the tax cut so that we can be assured everybody is definitely going to get a tax cut for sure and just think that would be the better way to go, so im hoping were going to get there. Unfortunately theres a bunch of people making that demand in the senate as well as the house. Lets just go ahead and eliminate mandatory requirement and lets use that money to get a real tax cut and then we really will see stimulation, but charles im not hearing anything that is meritworthy to eliminate the 20 Corporate Tax and you know thats where the real jobs will be created and the 25 i wish they were the same but 25 scorp. And 20 c corp. Thats still going to create a lot of jobs. Charles no doubt about that. I think youre 100 right and i am glad weve not heard anyone talking about tinkering it except to make the pass through rate more acceptable for smaller businesses. Sir weve run out of time we always appreciate when you come on because youre a straight shooter, individual mandate we made big news probably going to be up. Im hoping well get that in the bill. That would be great. Charles thank you very much, in the meantime stocks had a mixed day again ahead of these two big elections today.

Charles well the Dow Jones Industrial average like clock work went to another alltime high closing in on its 75th since election day one year ago tomorrow thats what i call a trump rally but for the most part it was a sloppy uninspiring session as a couple of earnings coupled with more anxiety over this tax bill and of course increasing risk around the world geopolitical took some of the win out of this sales but theres the crude oil rally and now much has been made of this move and oil being connected to this power that you have in saudi arabia. Although the story is filled with in treeing the most Important News come out of the middle kingdom is its commitment to cleanup the global oil glut, that by the way was triggered by saudi arabia back in 2014 their effort to derail the u. S. Fracking miracle. At the time, i thought maybe they would have a victory but the results have been much worse , when saudi arabia began flooding the world with crude oil foreign reserves were at a record 737 billion. Crude trading above 100 a barrel so today crude is now 46 from their june high and well the saudi farm reserves it down to 487 billion. The lowest since early 2011; however everyone is crying uncle now. This summer saudi arabia, opec, and russia all cried uncle and they agreed to cap production this also as u. S. Producers began to slowdown the increase in oil rigs. Meanwhile virtually every week has seen drawdowns in crude inventories which hit an alltime high 535 millionbarrels on march 24 so weve got this combination op ec caps, rig counts hitting a plateau, increasing demand, thats what you call the old 1, 2, 3 punch west texas up 36 since the june low, conventional wisdom at the time was talking about a three handle and there was experts predicting a two handle. Now this morning frac stand supplier u. S. Silica beat on revenues earnings and also offer ed upbeat guidance for the quarter and next year said 2018 will be a strong year driven by record demand, so with all of that being said, make sure you have exposure to the oil patch.

Snap just released their Earnings Results and ive got to tell you they beat the street by a penny and thats where the good news stops the internals were awful they grew less than 3 , 178 million users just isnt enough.

Charles President Trump playing nice in south korea saying well hes making progress in regards to north korea with me now mike baker, cofounder and former cia operative along with herb London Center for policy Research President and gentlemen thanks for joining us. Thank you. Charles big headline President Trump taking a softer tone if you will, talking more about diplomacy. Herb, were you surprised at this because the main street media seemed to be somewhat shocked that he didnt go over there and talk about the missile boy. First of all the Mainstream Media doesnt give him a break at all but whats important to note is the chinese talked about a freeze freeze proposition in the u. N. And its kind of ridiculous because creates an equivalence between the United States and north korea but whats interesting is the first time the chinese made the admission they could control north korean testing, thats the beginning of the negotiation. That strikes me as a very interesting thing. Charles they made that public. They made it public at the United Nations so again you could ignore one part of that equation but one part is quite interesting. Charles i think its sort of refreshing too. Weve been hearing from Rex Tillerson and others their backchannels have always been open and that there has been ongoing negotiations and for a while there it looked like we were going to be pushed to the b rink. Is there a chance this will end diplomatically and if so what would a deal look like . We could have to give north korea something to abandon those nuclear ambitions. Its a 30,000foot view. Herb is right. Theres been a shift in the mind set. People lose their minds over President Trumps tweets, and that becomes the story, but as you pointed out, there is still work that goes on behind the scenes and that doesnt get any attention, doesnt get credit. People if they, the resist movement or whatever they call themselves now, the never trump ers their concern is in north korea and trumps failure but if you put your partisan glasses down as a logical person , what you dont want . You dont want north korea to have Nuclear Weapons capable of hitting the mainland or our allies and at the end of the day , you dont want military conflict on the peninsula, so if you say okay, those are the things we want, how do you get there . You dont get there by the past 25 years of in effective sanctions and sort of behavior on the diplomatic side. You get there by what were doing which is very aggress every working with the chinese to the point where there has been this shift, subtle shift in mindset, and there could be a moment i guarantee you on the desk there in the chinese prime ministers desk is a file and that file is probably marked succession. If they wanted to, they could orchestrate and im sure they thought this through, the succession in north korea. One of the things that i think is important to note is the chinese provide 90 of the food and fuel in the country. Charles sure. You dont have fuel, you dont have electricity. You dont have electricity you dont have computers. You dont have computers, you cant fly to north america. So the chinese have great leverage. Charles let me just ask you as a middle eastern expert whats going on in saudi arabia. I dont understand it. I see on the surface whats happening here but you read different articles and you dont know who the good guys are and the bad guys are and we know the history of saudi arabia, the way the families have killed each other, how one side of the family gets power from another. Should we be concerned . Is this something whats the impact on the region . Well i think the impact on the region is going to be quite profound. The 32 year old crown prince is consolidating power in the country. What he is saying is there are many branches for the founder of saudi arabia but only one branch now thats mine. Charles good or bad news . Ill tell you why its good because the only way youll get modernization and liberal it station is to introduce the kind of reforms that the crown prince has been talking about. Charles hes talked to Maria Bartiromo about those things so he seems serious. Im glad you brought this up. Look this is potentially the most serious and impactful situation going on right now in the world. Yes north korea is serious, yes russia and china okay but the saudis this is critically important. The crown prince, 32 years old, what does he want . Hes looking to make social reforms and looking to diversify the economy. He cant do one without the other he has to do both. Thats a tight rope in a very difficult and dangerous dance. Charles ill tell you he started off with a bang. Thank you both very much.

The original place to invest online. Charles the goab torial races in new jersey and virginia are coming to an end. Dave, you shook up the political world with your victory over the young lion of the Republican Party at the time, eric cantor. Since then those ripples have become waves. You have taken control of it. You understand grassroots politics. And it seems democrats are on their heels . How do you feel about tonights election . It will be a tough one to call. They have a 5point advantage on the fundamentals. But we have momentum. But there is a huge turnout in the Virginia Beach area, thats the home of northam. So well see whether we can make up for that. Well have to have a huge showing across central virginia. And Northern Virginia well see what the turnout looks like as the night goes on. Charles can the Republican Party claim a certain amount of victory because this race is certainly much tighter than anyone thought. Northam suggested he would adopt certain republican things like sanctuary city opposition. It feels like this wave has spoken for itself to a certain degree. I aguy with you. I i i agree with you. I ran on some of those issues. But the left smeared gillespie. Keeping the statues up. You know what that means. Its a 70 . Jefferson is effectively shrouded at the university of virginia. Those issues are pretty powerful, and i dont buy into this total negativity thing. It used to be class warfare where at least the democrats stuck up for the working class. Now its all those identity politics. Ed did that. At the end he ran on a few issues like the statues and the left blew it up. I dont boy that narrative. I think he has momentum going on some of those issues at the end of the race. Charles there is no doubt that pickup truck ad was despicable. The house, the tax bill, how is that looking for you . We have some improvements we have to make to the s corps. We have to work out some wrinkles. We are cutting taxes. On the other side of the aisle the democrats progressive budget with a 10 trillion tax increase. Charles lou dobbs is kicking off our special coverage of the elections. Lou good evening.
