2:02 pm
gasparino and fox contributor steve moore of heritage foundation. first of all i want to talk about the new guy a little bit, david brat. i don't know if you heard these comments out of him. one thing, very negative on wall street. very negative on the folks that might be watching this show. all investment banks in new york and d.c., those guys should have gone to jail instead of going into jail they went to eric's rolodex and sending him big checks. >> this was a primal scream by voters against washington and wall street. and, obviously, conservatives are extremely angry about what is happened in congress. but the wall street aspect of this is really interesting. people feel like these guys got away, robbed the bank and never paid for it. melissa: you believe that. >> yes. look at this way, i've been saying this all morning, the left, democrats have occupy wall street as their populace base. there is a huge populace base running the republican party and it is tea party. they are dead-set against
2:03 pm
wall street. those are some of the numbers. this is just this election cycle. look at that, $66,000, not a lot of money for blackstone. in this election cycle to one house candidate, that is huge. and you know, go down the line. lloyd blankfein is very close with air eric cantor, steve schwarzman is very close. this is anti-wall street resole going on inside of the party. >> that is great point. a lot is interpreted as anti-ii am any breaks statement by voters. i think that is wrong -- anti-immigration. 72% of the voters in cantor's district support immigration reform. there is more than anti-immigration reform. a lot is populism. the republican party has has not -- >> this is not strange. this is completely normal. if you come out of a financial crisis guys like lloyd blankfein began to cut themselves huge
2:04 pm
checks months after getting bailed out, people are just going, from common sense they will revolt against that. >> one thing about immigration -- melissa: people in virginia still focus the on this do you believe it riled them up? >> gop base snoop with all respect, immigration is really big factor in this race. it happened, i talked to eric cantor's pollster a week 1/2 ago, they had him up 15, to 20 points. he lost by 10. maybe it was bad polling. something happened in the last 10 days. i'm as pro-immigration. i want -- >> immigration in virginia, northern virginia? >> think about what happened. you reported this over and over on fox news and fox business news, people at border. it festered in this idea that -- melissa: you think those pictures coming in the last few days is what swayed people in virginia? >> it was a big shift. >> even the immigration issue is about money. brat argued if you give amnesty to these 10 of millions of illegal immigrants it will add
2:05 pm
people to the labor force and probably drive down wages. so it comes back -- >> which is wrong by the way. melissa: why is that wrong? >> immigrants don't -- melissa: why is that wrong? >> studies are pretty clear. >> that is it overall. but look what we have. we have a wage problem at the bottom of the scale. >> except, charlie that immigration bill actually tilts the system more towards high-skilled immigrants. >> i'm not saying anything is wrong. >> there is perception. >> but consistent "wall street journal" line that immigration is so positive, that you can't even argue the economics is wrong. >> i'm not say -- we agree with you at heritage. >> at the bottom, i don't care what you are, what party you're in, but for, if you increase the supply of something, they're going to devalue -- melissa: grow the economy, that that is other side of the economy. don't you grow the economy with more people in the company creating labor, stirring
2:06 pm
economy. >> we need more people working at wall part? >> number but we need more people working in hotels, restaurants. >> do we? >> yeah, we do. we can't find people to do the jobs. >> walmart is big employer. somebody has to do the job. >> i don't think we need unskilled labor in this economy right now much. >> you know you were talking about the wall street connection. eric cantor was one of the few jewish republicans and, he had a connection with a lot of bankers in new york. that will be missed by republicans. the jewish vote is important constituency, republicans tried to win back. melissa: no doubt we'll have this debate. this one just kicked off here. in the meantime i want to you check out this video. thousands of taxi drivers across europe. they're protesting today over the mobile app uber. they're calling escargot treatment. bringing everything to a snail's pace. quite a change for europe. but it is interesting because what does it make you feel
2:07 pm
about, when you see this kind of a revolt. they think uber is real disruptor. it is disrupting the way that people are doing business all across europe. is that good or bass? >> this reminds my about the horse and buggy whip drivers protesting cars a little bit. no question that regulation pose as major risk for uber and other car sharing services. if people flock to the services the industry will have to deal with it. more tell than the protest, two weeks ago one of top regulators in new york city tax commission joined uber as an employee. that is the more telling stat. melissa: looking outside of their car protesting which think to themselves, maybe i can make more money for working for them than by standing here and protesting. >> this isn't just happening in europe. i live in virginia. the department of motor vehicles in virginia is trying to shut down uber there as well. this is disruptive technology. >> taxi industry is heavily
2:08 pm
subsidized. >> of course. it is terrible. >> here is the thing about technology. it disrupts everything. >> exactly. >> disrupted journalism. >> rental cars. hotels. melissa: no turning back? the company has $18 billion valuation or roughly something like that. when you see protests everywhere, is the headwind prices into all this that is happening? >> who is protesting? cab drivers. not average people. >> people want uber. people want uber. >> there is a lot of froth in the higher end venture capital market but there is a lot of optimism built into the $18 billion valuation. this protests will maybe slow down the growth than stop it. >> i haven't spoken to a single person that hates uber. melissa: only drivers. one more thing before we go. radioshack under attack as one wall street analyst, heard about this, cuts his price target to zero. zero. this is reilly and company scott tilghman is how believe how you
2:09 pm
say his name. cuts price of radioshack to zero because odds of bankruptcy bankruptcy is bet over 50%. i don't think i have either. >> you know, here is what, this may be a zero price stock but his analysis down make any sense. if it is only 51% chance, has some value. >> there is liquidation play. melissa: possibly he was trying to make a point. >> maybe trying to get to us talk about him. melissa: maybe. >> never, who shops at radioshack anymore? >> i don't know anyone that shops there but if he is willing to sell the stock at zero i'm willing to buy it. melissa: using facial recognition and technology to find your perfect significant other based on what your ex looks like. they go in, if you like marky-mark and matt damon you like irish catholic looking boston guy and they find

2:16 pm
