put up on facebook. we're bumping up ends if the closing bell. great to see you. jeanie wyatt. south ses sass money management. [closing bell rings] liz: nasdaq, s&p are 1% away from territory. we'll see you tomorrow. now the closing bell. david: stocks starting very much in the green very much so. the dow reversing earlier losses ending day up 40 points. s&p up percentage wise more than that nasdaq closing in positive territory. i'm david asman. good to have you. melissa: i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." we have more on the very busy hour ahead. cracking down on iran. president trump keeping his promise to unravel the iran nuclear deal. set to it impose sanctions to go into effect at midnight tonight. we have details and reaction

coming up. "the wall street journal" is reporting that facebook wants your financial information and it is looking to strike a deal with big banks. we'll have the latest on the developing story. deadly wildfires raging across california including one the second largest in the state's history. the president slamming environmental regulations for making the situation much worse. california congressman tom mcclintock will tell us what needs to be done right now. david: back to the markets, the dow staging a comeback to end the day in positive territory. phil flynn watching the action in gold and oil from the cme. nicole petallides where everybody thought it would be a gloomy monday. it is hot and humid here. it managed to break out into positive territory. the s&p is much broader index and that did twice as well percentagewise as the dow. >> you're absolutely right. the dow is up .16% and s&p up

.36%. nasdaq and s&p one percent away from record territory. forget about the gloom but look at green on the screen. we have had five straight weeks of feigns for the dow and s&p 500. earnings optimism is outweighing things. earnings are shining that really brought us that. thanks to charlie brady our senior editor for some of these facts. look at the dow movers that gained 40 points after the 1200 we've gained over past five weeks. we'll look at disney earnings tomorrow. 3m and boeing came under pressure. some industrials moved to the downside. we have big news on pepsi ceo, indra nooyi would step down on october 3rd, leaving chairman role in 2019.

a 22-year-old pepsi veteran takes over. we have breaking news in the last half hour. this is the department of justice saying that judge leon, this is all about at&t, look at this drop-off that happened near the end of the day. basically on ignored economics, common sense and in allowing the at&t-time warner deal to happen. and so that was something that people thought might happen, that we would mare more from the doj and there it is. back to you. melissa: nicole, thank you. phil, oil prices closing higher ahead of the reinstatement of the iran sanctions that begins tonight. what else can you tell us? >> president trump was serious about that. oil traders are starting to realize that. there is a real concern that if iranian oil starts to come off the market it will be difficult to replace. that is going to be very bullish. it became even more difficult to replace when we heard a report about saudi arabian oil production that surprisingly

fell by 300,000 barrels. that isn't supposed to happen. saudi arabia was supposed to be raising production to offset losses of iranian crude. that drop in production raised some red flags that maybe saudi arabia can't maintain output at those levels to replace that oil, it is making the market very nervous. what is making iran nervous is the rising price of gold. they're buying gold because they are afraid they will not be able to spend their own money. melissa: phil, thank you. david: profits surging at u.s. companies despite the trade dispute between china and europe, and up 24%. liz peek, columnist for foxnews.com and kevin kelly from benchmark investments. good to see you both. liz, even companies that use a lot of steel and aluminum have been killing it and this number, 24%, greater than last year at this time in terms of profits for the u.s. that's 20% more than was expected. so we're just going gangbusters.

>> actually the estimates for the second quarter have been going up almost a percentage point a day are to the last week. and don't forget this comes on heels of equally good first quarter. so investors had a lot of to cheer about. a lot of reasons for stock prices to go higher. i think they are really encouraging thing at the end of the day, this is not just about tax cuts. tax cuts contributed maybe about half of the profit gain in this quarter. revenues were probably going to be up around 9%. that is really what was missing during all those years where financial engineering brought us pretty good profit gains. we really didn't see top line growth it is there and pretty widespread. that is encouraging obviously because of the strong economy. david: kevin, how companies are using extra cash that they have. they're not all doing stock buybacks. there some of that but most of it is being done in investment. that is why we have huge number of jobs, more jobs than we ever

have had in the country before because companies are expanding, they need more workers for expansion and that is benefiting everybody. >> that is very important that you brought up. one of the most important data points was the july pmi number, the purchasing managers index number. that came out expansionary estimate at 58. it didn't beat the estimates, but if you look at new orders index one of the best indicators for earnings growth going forward came in at 60, above 60. which is showing 4 to 5% fdp growth. they're not only hiring but shelling out those new orders this is great news, especially going forward. we're going to see an economic expansion all the way through january. melissa: stay with us, guys. facebook trading data for users. the social media giant reportedly asking large u.s. banks to share detailed financial information about their customers. this is according to

"the wall street journal." fox business's deirdre bolton is live in the newsroom with the latest on this story. deirdre. >> melissa, "the wall street journal" reporting that facebook asked jpmorgan chase, wells fargo, citigroup, and for detailed information about their checking account balance and credit cards. this is part of new effort to offer new services to users. facebook released a statement. it disagreed with the reporting. this is longer estimate. a recent "wall street journal" story implies incorrectly that we're actively asking financial services companies for financial transaction data. this is not true. there is a little bit after longer statement. here is another phrase i thought was important. the idea is that messaging with a bank can be better than waiting on hold over the phone. it is completely opt-in. we are not using this information beyond enabling these types of experiences, not for advertising or anything else. analysts speculate that the long

game for facebook to allow users to buy and sell goods and services over messenger. if facebook went in that direction it would be competing with ebay or amazon. facebook does already have partnerships with amex and it is allowed, for example if you have an amex customer you can use facebook to get to the company's representatives, if you need customer service. facebook also has an agreement with paypal that allows facebook users to send money through messenger. but the problem for facebook the company had two huge data privacy pr problems in the past two years. as we know it is facing several investigations into its ties over cambridge analytica, which accessed data on as many as 87 million facebook users without consent. prior to that of course, 125 million americans, so half of our voting population, saw an ad either created or manipulated by russian bots prior to our

presidential election in 2016. "the wall street journal" has reported that these high-profile pr problems made at least one large bank which the journal did not name pull away from talks with facebook because they just do not want to be part of this pr problem. now worth noting other analysts point out that alphabet google, amazon, they have also asked banks to share data in order to provide basic banking services on applications, google es alexa or google's assistant rather or amazon's alexa. my takeaway is tech changed pretty much every single industry we talked about and banking may be next. facebook will tie up with these banks, it obviously will have to address its trust issues, melissa. a little shaky at the moment. melissa: i'm not, a little bit different. >> a lot of people feel that way. melissa: liz peek and can he kevin kelly are back with us.

i log on all the time. i log in with facebook. for get it, why would i allow you to be part of transaction and the place i'm buying something from? it is none of your business. you will use and store my data. you abused it before. liz peek am i only consumer that is my mom opinion as a consumer opinion. do other consumers feel that way? >> i think a lot of people feel that way. the response is, what could possibly go wrong? let me give facebook all my financial information. this is kind of what's happening. they're not alone in this. as deirdre mentioned other services are doing same thing this is revenue opportunity. people want to dial it back, i'm willing to take this risk and put my stuff out there and hope it is secure but you know what, melissa, nothing is secure on the internet. melissa: is it is really true. i have already have the

relationship with paypal and amazon. why do i need this with facebook too? >> facebook is trying another leg of growth to solidify your business. melissa: that stock chart next to you right there. >> exactly. here is why. they know your election habits, but don't know your purchases. who does? amazon does, your likes an purchases. all advertising revenues will go over there. this defensive move will not take hold. as you mentioned you have already have paypal. people have venmo people can send cash through apple pay. this is defensive move won't work. guess what, if people wanted to do it they would have done it through other programs already. melissa: good point. david. david: i'm with you. imagine putting it on facebook. how many other people have -- jaidee heated my facebook account. david: wells fargo is in trouble again. the company blaming a computer glitch for accidentally foreclosing on homes of 625

customers. susan li is live in the newsroom with very latest. 400 homes but that involves 625 folks. that's bad business. >> 625 homeowners, 400 eventually forecoasted. they're calling this a miscalculation because the 225 homeowners they were actually owed some eligibility for some relief in some of these loans but because of a computer glitch according to wells fargo, 400 of them eventually had to foreclose. they are setting aside $8 million in order to compensate for these homeowners. if you do the calculations, divide by 625, that is $12,800. that is not enough to buy a new home for those that lost their houses. again another example for wells fargo in 18-month pr debacle. this started in 2016 with the two million fake accounts so brokers could up cell with higher commissions. that followed on stepping down by chairman and ceo john stumpf. we had a billion dollar fine as well from the consumer

protection bureau against some auto loans that were basically selling them, up selling them extra insurance policies. on top of that, we also had mortgage fees as well that were charged without the homeowner's knowledge. this adds to again, a lot of, you would call it pr stain. on friday also we had a 2 billion-dollar fine was bade. 10-year investigation going back to the global financial crisis. this keeps coming. unprecedented move by the federal reserve this year, tell wells fargo stop growing the balance sheet until you take care of problems inside of the company. that is what they're trying to do right now. back to you. david: take care of the home business. thank you, susan. this is why bankers are pretty high the list on folks people hate out there. media is one. another one is congress but this doesn't help the reputation of bankers, does it? >> no, this certainly doesn't and especially you think about where was the board on this?

they oversaw this company for many years. they let management run wild. talking about clawbacks they were paying out incentives especially in stock. this is not good for the overall market. i think regulators were asleep at the wheel. they argued, elizabeth warren argues why we need the cfpb. the cfpb didn't find out all the problems. it was "l.a. times" reporter. david: liz peek that is a great point he brings up. liz warren created institution, untouchable bureaucracy that is supposed to forestall problems like this. it is not doing any good. >> i can't think of a single banking problem that the consumer financial protection bureau had anything to do with or prevented yet. there is always hoping i suppose. this is collective eye roll. this goes back a long time, 600 homeowners hurt. it is a terrible thing for those people. small number when i assume they had hundreds of thousands of

mortgages. this is at a time when everyone lost control of their mortgage management, if you will. really, poor, i almost feel sorry for wells fargo. they can not get out of their own way and they're launching a huge public relations blitz that they are trustworthy, they want to be your pal, et cetera. they have to figure out a way to have these things stop. david: remember the banking bailouts. i don't want to ever forget that happened. we were bailing out these institutions that treat us so badly. >> they can not blame computer glitches. that is not a good excuse. >> it is badly-run bank. that is reality of it. >> blame management. david: gang, appreciate it. good to see you both. melissa: good stuff. we're learning more about the fbi's involvement pushing infamous trump dossier. the fbi releasing more than 70 new documents on interaction between the man behind the dossier, british spy, christopher steele. "judicial watch" is crediting to

bring the new documents to light. guess what, "judicial watch" president tom fitton will join us with more on what we need to know now. david: he is keeping an eye on unaccountable bureaucracies. democrats are expecting a blue wave in the november midterm elections. president trump says not so fast. he see as potential red wave that is a possibility. charlie hurt is here with his take as we gear up for big contests tomorrow. melissa: his promise to unravel the obama-era iran nuclear deal. getting ready to slap sanctions on iran tonight. the latest details on this and how iran is responding. that's next. >> we want to put unprecedented pressure on the government of iran to change its behavior. and so far they have shown no indication they're prepared to do that. ♪ liberty mutual accident forgiveness means they won't hike your rates over one mistake. see, liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges.

melissa: president trump is about to slap economic sanctions back into place that were undone by the obama administration's iran deal. blake burman has the latest details on this. blake. reporter: hi, there, melissa and you will remember president trump actually pulled the united states out of the iran nuclear deal earlier this year back in may. sanctions didn't go into place at that moment. instead a clock was set forth at that moment. the clock essentially runs out at midnight tonight. that is it when the first batch of sanctions will hit iran. they target to give you a handful of examples, buying and selling iranian currency, along with buying iranian sovereign debt. buying or supplying industrial metals like steel, aluminum and coal and iran's automotive sector is a focus as well. the trump administration says this is all about keeping pressure on iran. >> our policy is not regime change but we want to put unprecedented pressure on the

government of iran to change its behavior. so far they have shown no indication they're prepared to do that. reporter: president trump saying in a statement today, quote, as we continue applying maximum economic pressure on the iranian regime i remain open to reaching a more comprehensive deal that addresses the full range of the regime's maligned activities, including the ballistic missile program and its support for terrorism. but iran's leader, hassan rouhani, continues to downplay that possibility. he says iran always believed in diplomacy but the u.s. in his view can not be trusted. he also contends that the president's insistence on sitting down and meeting is meant to create division inside of iran. melissa, tonight the first batch of sanctions go into place, i guess you can say the halfway point, 90 days from now, november 4th, a second batch goes into place as well and that will target iran's energy sector

melissa: and their swift banking central bank. it would be amazing they're on the side of diplomacy when they fund terror. that is just amazing. blake. great report. david: even gold trading will be affected by this. we have james carafano, heritage foundation, vice chairman of foreign and defense policy studies this is classic trump. you heard the phrase maximum pressure, rethink north korea. the way you deal with our enemies, you squeeze them until they hurt and they are hurting bad now in iran right now. they have violent protests all over the country but just when they're squealing with pain you throw them an olive branch and say, okay, let's talk? >> right. we should remember how we got here. this is not just trump full filling a campaign promise. he was willing to work with the other european partners to make the iran deal work. they failed to come to the table to do that this administration

didn't say we'll just do sanctions, they weren't and the world with briefing teams. this is how we'll do it. we'll phase it in. you have a period to adjust to this. they, policy on iran has been very deliberate, very disciplined. david: absolutely. >> boy, it already has been very, very effective. david: let's talk about that, james. already what you have are protests spreading around the country, all levels, all parts of the country, much more widespread than before. i wonder how much further this discontent will go as sanctions grow deeper? >> well, it is the right strategy, the way you deal with authoritarian regimes, pressure them within and without. they have to look both ways simultaneously. we're exploiting internal discontent and putting on external pressure. the president as he did with china, russia, north korea, everybody, look, if you guys stop impinging on my interests and stop being bad actors, you want to do something mutually

benefiting for both, great we can do that he made the offer to iran. david: talk about discontent. there is a lot of it in venezuela. socialist regime had what appeared to be an attack directly on the president. that is maduro with a sash on, his wife next to him. there was explosion thought to be from a drone or something like that. you can see the body guards going up. immediately maduro we knew he would do this, as we see his guards scatter in the street as a result of the bomb. they're blaming the united states. they're blaming the opposition, the peaceful opposition inside of venezuela. john bolton spoke to this earlier today. listen what he had to say. >> i can say unequivocally there was no u.s. government involved in this at all. it could be a lot of things from a pretext set up by the maduro regime itself to something else. david: these regimes very often do have the attacks, meant to look like the they're the opposition but gives the dictatorship a chance to hit the opposition.

>> well, look, one thing we know about this president, he is not interested in regime change and he is not interested in nation-building. he is not out to overthrow countries. he wants them to stop messing with our business and i think that is perfectly consistent here. the united states doesn't want to get bogged down in venezuela. on the other hand we're concerned about the people of venezuela and if this government doesn't start to act responsibly it will find itself in a really bad place. david: do you think he planned this attack himself or members of his administration did? >> i, you know, i'm like you, all i see is the reporting that is out there. the reporting out there is very inconclusive. i still think there is a whole range of possibilities here. the regime's response, seems typically, programmed to exploit it, for an anti-american line. just shows these guys don't get it yet. much like the iranians, they have dug themselves into a very deep hole and when you dig into

a deep hole normally the answer is stop digging. david: i will say extra prayer for opposition in venezuela. they will go through tough times next couple days. james, thanks for being here. >> thank you. melissa: very convenient they were on camera. everybody came in front of the microphone. david: it happened before where these regimes do that. melissa: interesting. a major concern for our economy. how the u.s. could end up taking a hit as one industry can't seem to fill job openings. 200 active duty soldiers being called on to battle flames in california. what president trump is making the deadly fires worse. california congressman tom mcclintock responds. that's next. ♪ with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost.

burning in the state with the mendocino fire now considered the second largest in california history. it covers 425,000 square miles. officials say it is only about 30% contained. melissa. melissa: president trump weighing in on wildfires, tweeting california wildfires are being magnified and made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren't allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized. it is being diverted into the pacific ocean. mostlous tree clear to stop fire spreading. here to respond is california congressman tom mcclintock. sir, thanks for joining us. do you agree with the statement? know what he is talking about there? >> i don't know what connection he is making between the california's terrible water policy and the fires but he is absolutely right about bad forest management. all the excess timber comes out, it will be carried out or burned out. it comes out.

we used to carry it out. we had thriving forests, thriving local economies and positive revenue stream to the federal government but about 45 years ago we began imposing laws that make active forest management. 80% of timber declined out of federally harvested lands and increase in acreage stored by fire. if i delivered five newspapers to your doorstep every day, and only through one of them away, how long would it take for your home to become a fire trap? that is the condition of federal forests. we're only taking 20% out of the annual forests. the rest is burning. melissa: that is amazing. connection to the water, it wasn't that long ago in california you were having a big brought. all the water being diverted out to the ocean. one of the creatures it was supposed to be saving was the tiny delta smelt.

it felt so ridiculous from afar this, was water needed by farmers and all -- and people. it was just, became a policy so outdated. go ahead. >> well, again that is decimated california agriculture. it is now putting war rationing into effect in one of the most water-rich regions of the country. those are terrible policies. but the direct problem that we have with our fires right now is bad forest management. now, if you have a pine tree with a five inch diameter trunk, that uses about 50 gallons of water every day. you have morbidly overbroken forests. we have four times the timber density than the sierra can support. when you have that kind of dense overcrowding, and then put a drought on top of that, you end up with dead forests. that is what happened to sierra nevada. melissa: isn't there a way to present to the public the idea you stalk about, quantify it,

how much is spent on fires, lives lost, damage don, overgrowth, what could have been done, what that would have cost and how many trees left in the forest in each scenario? in isn't the case made to people and you know a thoughtful solution come upon? >> i think experience is starting to make that case for us. all those laws i talked about were imposed with the 1970s with the promise they would improve the forest environment. fair enough after 45 years of experience with these laws i think we're entitled to ask how is the forest environment doing? the answer is absolutely damning. these policies not only not protected forests have done irreparable harm for forests we need to relook at those policies. congress is looking at that. melissa: i know people personally that lost their home. it is devastating. an important issue. >> thanks for having me. david: 98 people are dead, more than 200 seriously injured and thousands more people are homeless after a powerful

it show definitely that the fbi was actually paying one of the authors of the trump dossier? >> christopher steele, who was fired by fusion gps, who was hired by the clinton campaign and the dnc met with the fbi at least 13 times in 2016. 11 of those times resulted in payments to mr. steele. so in the middle of the clinton-trump campaign the clinton agent for fusion gps, christopher steele, who was talking to russia intelligence about trump supposedly was meeting repeatedly with the fbi. we don't know the details about those meetings though but -- david: this is what, this is what bob mueller was set up to do, was to investigate real russian collusion. this seems to be far more credible as evidence of russian collusion than anything that the trump campaign did? >> well, you know, as disturbingly in november they deemed him not useful as a confidential human source

anymore. yet they continued to tell the court his information was reliable in terms of getting those fisa is warrants, spy warrants on carter page and the trump team. real abuse and, i think the fbi -- who at the fbi was meeting with him? we don't know. was it peter strzok? did james comey know the clinton campaign agent was in the fbi at least a dozen times in 2016? that doesn't count the times he was meeting, he and his people were meeting with his wife nelly o-rh, wife the bruce ohr. david: this meeting between donald trump, jr., with the russian agent, that agent met before and after the trump, jr. meeting with members of fusion gps. what was that all about? if there was collusion between her and the trump campaign, there was also collusion between her and the hillary campaign

between fusion? >> fusion gps was working through russian fronts to discredit putin and the lawyer behind that effort was behind the meeting at trump tower. it is mind-boggling what went on. david: it is. >> for the mueller investigation focusing on trump collusion, show there is politicization of the special counsel operation. david: tom, i have to jump to the final point. we heard adam schiff suggest that russians are interfering with the on the trump side with the 2008 elections. exactly on the opposite side. facebook story took down apparently russian influence with them. they were anti-trump. one showing donald trump screaming in front of a nazi flag that is one of the ones that was taken down. there are others that send protesters to anti-i.c.e. rallies. if, again, if there was russian collusion with anybody in the united states it was against

trump, not in favor of him. >> he there is this idea that they want to divide america. no, they want to attack our government. they're attacking the trump administration during the campaign. they thought hillary clinton was doing to win. they attacked hillary clinton campaign knowing or thinking like everyone else in america or many people in america that she was going to become president. the russians are interested in undermining our government and they were doing it in 2016. they're doing it again. david: that is the bottom line. no matter who they have to go after, they're trying to undermined our government and our way of life. tom fitton, thanks for uncovering this. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome, david. melissa: a major industry sounding the alarm. we'll tell you the job that pays 70 grand a year with 100,000 positions available across the country. david: not bad. ♪

plus benefits and a $4,000 signing bonus. get this, there are one hundred thousand of those job openings across the country but not enough applicants to fill them. the trucking industry sounding the alarm about a growing shortage of truckers. fox news's kevin cork in the d.c. bureau. a couple years ago, there would be lines around the block for these. reporter: i'm glad you mentioned this i'm thrilled to do the story. face it, david this, is considered high-paying but face it, demanding job. truck something in need of fresh bodies to get the job done, i mean a lot of fresh bodies. the main reason you see is retirement. the average age of the american trucker is 49. as those guys continue to retire in fairly large numbers, obviously there is this massive need to fill their ranks. if you want a job to pay you between 50,000, to 7 a thousand

thousand -- $75,000 a year first year on the job this is something to consider. i want to take you inside the numbers to show you and folks at home how acute the need is. the trucking industry will need, get this, 900,000 new drivers coming over the decade according to the american trucking association. more important that trucks account for 70% of the freight tonnage for consume goods moved in the u.s. >> these are the grocery stores, the bananas, the meat, the staples all on struck. you go to the mall and you buy shoes or a suit, a tie, all came by truck. everything you can essentially touch in your personal life, your furniture, your, your dishware, everything, it came on a truck. that is why we should care because the prices of those things may start creeping up as the driver shortage gets worse. >> first-year driver can expect to average around 50,000 their first year. some earn as much as 60 to 70

the first year. there is urgency for drivers in the industry has never been greater. reporter: sense of urgency my friend. industry advocates say 90,000 job openings over the next year, talking about every year over the next decade. think about that. positions will be plentiful, david. even more importantly because there will be fierce competition, means again the raises will continue to be kicked in. that means that those wages will continue to rise again. we're talking about 50 to 70 grand the first year on the job. that my friend, is not small potatoes. david: land of opportunity. it ain't called that for nothing. kevin corke, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: stopping the blue wave. democrats hope to flip a crucial house seat held by republicans for decades but president trump isn't too worried. he has a new message for the gop. next charlie hurt from "the washington times" sounds off. ♪ the wonderful thing about polident

>> you will be very surprised. we are talking about this blue wave. [booing. i don't think so. if the democrats get in, they will raise your taxes. you will have crime all over the place. people will be pouring across the border. why would that be a blue wave? i think it could be a red wave. melissa: president trump not concerned about the gop chances come november. ahead of that, five states holding big political races tomorrow. kansas, michigan, missouri, washington, ohio, where analysts are expecting especially tight race for governor. joining me now is charlie hurt. "washington times" opinion editor and fox news contributor. what do you think about this one, charlie? >> well, you know, i think that donald trump is out there sort of cheerleading his team the best he can but to be sure, you

know, if you take a look at that race, for example in ohio, that special election in ohio, it is by, all means, it is closer than it ought to be. i know that donald trump wants to see a red wave but, i think that it is probably, it would be wise for all republicans to pay close attention. a couple of things. one is, you know, this shouldn't even be contested at this point is the first problem. melissa: why is it? >> i think you have incredible enthusiasm by democrats right now. we have seen it in a lot of previous special elections. keep in mind special elections are special for a reason. they're not necessarily reflective of a larger trend. but this being the first off-year election after president trump won, historically speaking, this is, these are always very tough times for anybody, any incumbent party that controls the white house. melissa: yeah.

>> still, you have democrats though, looking like they're trying their hardest to still lose this thing, by doing things like, campaigning on abolishing i.c.e. and impeaching the president. if that, those two issues sort of percolate to the surface, i don't know if we'll see a red wave but certainly not see a blue wave. melissa: this district, of course the republican is going against a very moderate democrat. talk about enthusiasm on the left. president was trying to gin up on enthusiasm on the right. one person who says it would work, congressman peter king. listen to what he said. >> rank-and-file people identify with president trump. he is able to connect with them. he cuts through a lot of the bs. he cuts through a lot of the washington talk. he is out there, listen people may not agree with everything he says. the fact he is able to connect. that is the unique ability to have. melissa: looking at this one in ohio, this is another one of those races where they say it is going to be decided by suburban

women who are independent and moderate and no matter how much he goes and cheer leads he will not win them over, do you believe that? >> i don't know that i believe that because donald trump did far better among women than a lot of people predicted, why that is can be sort of debated but the bottom line is this. what we have seen with the alarming trend we have seen throughout, has been people that came out and supported donald trump in 2016, they're not coming out to, they're disappearing in the midterm election. that is a real problem. it is not necessarily the people that show up at these rallies, these wonderful, entertaining rallies that donald trump hosts. it is beyond those people. donald trump has to make it very clear to these people, you can't sit back to expect a red wave to come. you have to prepare for a blue wave and go out there and vote against it, if you don't want to see the blue wave form and take

over the house. melissa: charlie, thank you, love having you. >> you bet. david: he will come out with a reagan line, are you better off now before donald trump was president. was that one line. melissa: you want your taxes to go up? david: not me. nice to work if you can get it for all the nutella fans. if you're more after barbecue fan, we have a dream job as well. ♪ ...and lower a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash,
