issue comes in and for the democrats obviously it s trump. the democrats use that person, that issue, that president to motivate their people, so anger works a lot better than love and hope, just not between us, neil. neil: understood. generally. neil: understood. all right thank you my friend the good professor is taking a look at where we stand just a few days out and then there are all these gubernatorial battles going on that are crucial too that ll set the stage for a couple of years and how things are portioned out in various states as well. my next guest is hoping that he can flip the bluest of blue states of connecticut his way. the republican is on that after this. this is loma linda, a place with one of the highest life expectancies in the country. you see so many people walking around here in their hundreds. so how do you stay financially well for all those extra years? well, you have to start planning as early as possible. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, of ret
all the conversations i have, everybody is angry. maybe except you and me, neil, but there are lots and lots of people who are very very angry, and i really do think it s about equal. this isn t going to be decided by overall turnout. it s going to be decided by the turnouts in individual states and districts the ones that are actually competitive and once again, we re down to a relative handful. seven, eight, nine senate seats and maybe 40, 50 house districts out of 435 that s where the election will be decided. neil: how big an issue do you think the caravan will be? i think for republicans, it s the motivator. i ve been listening, i don t know whether you said this but i ve seen a lot of people say it why isn t the president talking more about the economy and at one level that makes sense. there s just one problem with that. the people are pleased but it doesn t motivate them to get out and vote in the mid-term election. you have to stir them up and get them mad that s where the c
split government i think that the fed takes their foot off the pedal on interest rates, and the market will continue. i don t see a bear market. the market usually goes up anyways a year after the mid-terms, about 12-15%. neil: you know the exception to that susan? it s interesting is if we had a wild run up prior. if we had a huge market, which we ve had over the last year. on the calendar year. right. neil: it s a little different but it is what it is. and i m wondering, the people you ve talked to, would they like that or this is largely the investment crowd is largely republican crowd. absolutely. neil: not casting political directions but if the republican s were to hang on to the house what is their sense about how the markets would react to that? well i think it would be a positive actually for the markets because maybe we wouldn t have our time taken up with unnecessary hearings, tack about implementing more regulation i think that would be market positive to get someth
democrats are running on health care, that health care is not available, that it s too expensive. my god, neil, they passed obamacare with not one single republican vote. and they just don t take any responsibility for it. they ve put the responsibility over to the republicans who for some unknown reason have accepted it. that the issue that we have today with health care and by the way, premiums are up, they re skyrocketed. it was known when obamacare passed that in the year 2018 the numbers were going to go out of sight and 2019 going to be higher. everybody knew that, but nobody on the left side takes responsibility for it. neil: you might be right on that bernie. it is what it is and it is a dominant issue in these polls, fox news poll that says it s the number one issue for a lot of folks. i m wondering should republicans
walking and moving northward. congressman henry cuellar is saying the president is using this as a cudgel and doing no one good. how are you good, how. neil: the president says it s a problem and takes exception to the notion that he s a racist or a bigot when, in fact, he can point to record numbers of legal immigrants being allowed into this country, this year likely one and a quarter million. last year 1.1 million. we can show the numbers. he s not against immigration. he s against illegal immigration. there s process, these folks are trying to avoid this, you say what? look my father was born in mexico and became a legal resident and naturalized citizen. my mom was born here so i believe in that legal process itself. but how we address the illegal immigration that we re facing out there, i don t think the
