9:00 am
>> thanks everybody great show. >> great to be here. >> i want to tell you your show kicks ass here and on the news channel because you all of those great guests yesterday you booked them all. i know -- i know behind the scenes you're amazing. >> thank you so much. have a great day everybody. "varney & company" begin right now. take it away. >> i thought she was talking about "varney & company" but i'm not sure about. >> i wasn't. >> good morning all maria good morning everyone. you know it has got the the feel of a presidential election. very high turnout intense debate, welcome to the midterms. we're about 24 hours from the vote. today, president trump begins the the final leg of his truly whirlwind in missouri with rush limbaugh by his side concentrating on senate races
9:01 am
the house -- not so much. he's highlighting two issues, the booming economy, and the caravans there are now four of them with about 12,000 migrants and still heading for our southern border it seems to be a wait and see stock market this morning flat at the open but, of course, we have the caveat no idea where we will close this afternoon. now look at this amazon, facebook, and google three of the big five ticks. uh-oh watch out. president trump says he's, quote, looking at antitrust proceedings against them and amazon is down about $4, 1660 facebook is down 2. thought the show today we'll ask is the question what happens on the market if a, it is a split situation, gop loses house but gains in senate what happens on the market. or b, the gop keeps both houses or c, the democrats sweep both? we'll have an answer. "varney & company" is about to
9:02 am
begin. ♪ >> out of the box let's start with the price of oil remember as of right now today new sanctions have been imposed on iranian are oil. and he got iranian oil off the market, but the price of oil is all the waits down to 63 dollars per barrel. that's because america is now the dominant energy power and he's making up for those, the lack of oil from iran. the price of gas -- there's the big story for the economy. keeps on falling today we've got a national average of $2.76 a gallon. we come down for 26 days straight. here's what energy serkt rick are perry said about iran sanctionings, quote, the new sanctionings will hit iran energy sector hard but thanks to
9:03 am
anticipatory actions to producer to make up difference there should be minimal effect on global energy markets joining us now economist brian west bury i think this is flat out good news price of oil down 63 and gas keeps falling this is because of energy independence and dominance by america isn't it? >> absolutely. stuart, good morning, fracking has been just an amazing development it has changed the world. i mean, if you look at saudi arabia you wonder why there's turmoil there. turmoil all over the middle east because the united states is now the leading producer of oil in the world. and of natural gas other countries are buying from us it is disrupting the entire energy industry. and it's supergood news for the u.s. economy. >> one particular, why is it supergood news for american economy? >> well there's a bunch of
9:04 am
reason ares. number one, we're creating great jobs in taxes and north dakota in other countries where we find shale. it is bringing down the price of gasoline and energy where no long per buying from other countries as much as we were we're now exforting which is bringing earnings to the united states. so there's a dozen half a dozen different ways i can look at this and say it is good news for not only gdp growth but wage growth and job growth in the united states. >> we'll take it right there hold on a second get become to you in a second and now pure politics president trump continues his campaign tour. right into election day he's hitting indiana, ohio, and missouri today. listen to what he said about working with democrats if they take the house. roll tape. >> will you work with -- nancy pelosi -- [inaudible conversations] >> well, joining us now is ronny
9:05 am
mcdamage republican national committee chair is it sure looks like the president's concentrating on senate and giving up on the house. what do you ?ai >> he's focusing on both a lot of senate seats have competitive house seats in them. these state city he's traveling to like missouri and king and in ohio we have competitive house districts as well so he's hitting senate states that have competitive house seats focused on keeping majority in both, obviously, it is a lot easier to go to competitive senate states than all of the competitive house seats across the country because there's over 200 so using his time effectively. >> we have 24 hours to the vote will you make a prediction? how do you think it is going to go? >> i think we keep the majority in the house and senate if our voters get out and vote, and especially on your channel as you're talking -- yeah. as your viewers are watching the good economic news wages are up. jobs are coming back to this country results after results
9:06 am
after results on the economy on so many factors in this country voters have to get out to vote, and say we do not want to halt this comeback that the united states of america is feeling so if we have a good election day turnout we win. >> i didn't mean to interrupt but why so close? there's some key race ares here which are just neck and neck razor thin even though we have a spectacular economy. prchg because in democrats are angry and been energized when they thought hillary clinton was going to walk into the white house they've been running into that had. that fuels their energy, we've seen it in special elections. it has taken us a while to get votessers to that same energy level the president being on xrain trail but a huge contrast is do you want results do you to see this continued growth for our economy and good thing that are happening or resistance and democrats right now are doubling down on reare cyst and obstruct and stop this president and not acknowledging good things that are happening for american peel so voters have to get out to
9:07 am
vote for good economy. usually people are display sang the when they feeled good. >> i remember just before the presidential election, 2016, the polls were suggesting that hillary was going to win. they got it wrong are in part, i think, because some people were not prepared to tell a pollster, yeah i'm going to vote for donald trump. do you think the same thing is happening now? do you trust polls now? >> i think that polls are much harder to gauge and ij they're all over the map in a lot of these states. what i trust is rnc data we're looking at early vote in a lot of states. we gauge enthusiasm our ground game has been in place for two years so i trust what we're seeing at the rnc and spot on on special elections. a lot of these races are within the margin of error so election day turnout will be the difference maker. as to whether we keep the house expand our majority in the senate bottom line. >> here's where i'll leave it mcdamage says that you will keep the house and expand your majority in the senate, yes? >> yes. if our voters get out and vote
9:08 am
you've got to go vote. yont anybody to feel comfortable or relaxed everyone need to feel that urgency. stuart: you can't chuck these with 24 hours to go but you did. thank you so much for being with us on a very important day. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, stuart. stuart: sure thing. we did reach out to dnc, to join us today, but we've not heard back from it at this point. i want to get become to the economy. i want to get become -- become to brian that we're looking towards a very spectacular, november and december for the economy. very strong holiday sales, and what happened -- we might, we might get a deal with china on trade. that would be really, really spectacular for the economy and the market, won wouldn't it? >> i agree stuart, already, and this is kind of flown under radar but china has already lowered tariffs on over 1500 goods and it's sounded like
9:09 am
president z. today said this were going to do it again, and so, you know, a lot of people say we have a trade war with china. and china is standing up strong and fighting back. they're not. they're actually giving ground and they're doing it without losing faith and that's a really positive development. if we look at the s&p 500 earnings reports, they were reporting sales and if you look at the consumer discretionary companies sales are up 10% from a year ago. and what that means is we're going to have the best christmas selling season retail season that we've seen in a decade just like the job market. just like the wage market, we're -- we could have three to four percent growth again in fourth quarter this have year. and it has because we've had tax cuts and deregulation. and that's why this election is so important. >> we'll take it, brian we'll definitely take it. brian thanks for joining us see you again real soon.
9:10 am
>> you're welcome, stuart amazon just raise ared stakes for holiday. with three -- free shipping for everyone not just prime members. what's this? a catch? >> well, no. but you know, here's the thing is they've launched a new shipping, shopping holiday free shipping day it looks like and really going at wal-mart and target here's what it is no more 25 dollar minimum you get free shipping on any item even if it is $10 spatula that you need in time for thanks give. >> i'm not a prime member so i get into amazon go on the website you get it and something for 20 i get it shipped free. that's -- >> no. it is -- it is prime members. sorry forgive me looks like wait, no -- no it is not forgive me i want to be accurate. >> you don't have to be a prime member so tens of millions of itemses prime free same day shipping. limited time, look at the -- they have to do of 0 cities one hour delivery. all the way through till
9:11 am
christmas? >> just in time for christmas they're talking about. for a limited time they say delivery in time for christmas and give you end date -- sorry -- [laughter] stuart: okay. the stock by the way is down. but i think that's because president trump is threatening anti-trump that sounds like a great idea. killing them. check futures, dead flat, i mean, maybe down a few points but this is a dead flat i think all wait and see market wait for the election tomorrow. we have toys"r"us making a combback for the holidays courtesy of kroger installing mini toys"r"us branded popup stores in 600 locations market kind of like it is. although kroager is up just three cents. i have another amazon story for you. it is close to announcing the location of its second headquarters. we'll tell you where it might land where it is likely to land and we'll tell you, and check this one out too. troops along with the border patrol officers working to shore

9:16 am
have been working to secure sections of the texas, mexico border laying down barbed wire fencing john is with us. he's a former acting i.c.e. director. john, welcome to the show. tell me what happens when these caravans hit our border. >> well what we've been seeing ynl is that caravans thelses have been actually walking up to our ports of entry, to rather than sneaking across border the caravans walk up to the ports of entry, get there and say i want asylum in united states. >> what do we do? >> well the good news is this, they're all screen they go through biographic background checks to pieptiond out whether there's any bad information about them historically including information we get from central america. once there, this is where problems come in. they go through courts system where they get to present claims asigh so process takes to long in some cases three to five years those with family members as a result of court rulings, generally going to be released penning court hearings now ultimately only about 10% of the
9:17 am
people are going to get asylum in united states and most will be deported problem is it takes so long for us to get there. so -- >> we're looking at the prospect of housing tens of thousands of people on the border maybe in tengt cities for very long period of time. is that what we're looking at? >> well right now generally these people are released could be given ankle bracelet and president says no. we're not going to catch and release we're not going to do that. >> well right now, i know president is saying that but reality is this. when you have 12,000 and last month we have 16,000 central americans family members. isis capacity to detain families is limbed to 3,000 beds nationwide so just dot math we know that large numbers are being released. >> then good news is that -- i have to say that sound to me like an invasion. no, i know you don't like the use of the word i understood that. but what else do we describe it as you have tens of thousands of people they walk in and stay for a long time and we put them up
9:18 am
that's an invasion. inch understand frustration people have. look this is a humanitarian crisis the majority of the people they pose no threat and overwhelming majority no threat. >> it is a border crisis. come on you can't laugh like that. so what that is deliberate -- >> i'm double security crisis and there's bad people crossing that border. generally this population are families fleeing poverty and violent they're not entitled to asylum overwhelming majority and good news is they won't get it. real problem is how slow we are in handling these cases and frrs is real. i understand people frustration they say, there's a back door to the united states these people are cheating. i get it. but drive me nuts too. look, the good news is the legal framework is solid and handles case as well and never dedicated to resources to move cases along quickly and remove people quickly. >> all right john we appreciate you being with us. thanks very much indeed good stuff. >> thank you. where do we open market this is a day before the big election, obviously, kind of wait and see for the election results.

9:23 am
president trump taking aim at big tech, three of them in particular he says his administration is, quote, looking at antitrust proceedings against amazonning with google, and facebook now it is a short soundbite, but it tells the story. roll tape. >> we are certainly looking at -- antitrust -- >> antitrust, yes. >> for amazon. >> for all three. >> okay. look -- that doesn't mean we're doing it. but we're certainly looking i think most people -- sum mise that. >> looking at it okay that's had the -- straightforward judge napolitano is here. >> another part that have clip he says look the e. u took 5 billion for goggle did they do it because it is american company and that's still trump? why do they get the 5 billion instead of us? supposed to hide this is there a real antitrust violation if it is why did they see it and we
9:24 am
didn't? >> on what grounds could our president and justice department go after three companies? >> we talked about this during the break if they make the allegation of monopoly that will cost a fortune to resist it but it is difficult to find and monopoly in american history that was not caused or protected by the government. and we don't have that here. >> let me jump in judge and sorry to curtail the argument. it doesn't matter whether the government can prove that google has a monopoly in terms of the -- lay the tie him up forever the stock come way down you don't have to win. >> google has more money than the government. google is in the black. but i was giving an example of amazon this is called prince discrimination so amazon is has had a lot of partners let's say i'm a mom and pop book dealer an i have some academic books that people want sell it through amazon. i get 35% of the sale price. sell it through amazon only, i get 50% of the sale price.
9:25 am
so they are charging different amounts of money in order to induce people to stop competing with amazon. >> that's a minor league -- >> it is, it is, it is offense but it is so small that the economic effect of it is minuscule there must be a measurable economic effect. but they have the fact there. the monopoly it is a political taint. you're a monopolist and no one does as carr do is a says but of facebook and google reigned in. >> start a competitor. >> but that's the point you can't. >> again they've reached such a monopoly position impossible to compete against them. how can you -- >> could amass the wealth necessary to take them -- >> a serious argument you're avoiding. there are barriers -- barriers to entry are
9:26 am
extraordinary. i agree with you. time sup it's a good argument. >> we can fish finish it later. good to have that power in private hands but couple of people. that's terrible. i have ten seconds i have to get it out. >> google -- pledgets the dow industrial average will be just at the opening bell maybe five but nasdaq will be down along with tech. we'll be back, promise. every investor should ask questions. is our money in the right place? what am i really being charged? and is it eating into my returns? is my advisor a fiduciary? is he always a fiduciary? a good place to start is with an independent registered investment advisor. as fiduciaries, they live by a simple rule: always act in the best interests of their clients. that's why charles schwab is proud to support more independent financial advisors and their clients than anyone else. visit findyourindependentadvisor.com

all right we've got 15 secs that's all we got to bell stops ringing an they start trading. this is going to be a very interesting today because tomorrow is the elections. so we're going to -- very political today. posing the question, what happens had if these are the result ares? here we go 9:30 eastern monday morning off and running but not going far in a very early going, we are up 15 points. 25 points -- 22 points, i'll call that dead flat to ever so slightly higher. all right how about the s&p, i think we've got same story there. s&p 500 is up 4 points that's .16 from the and slightly higher and nasdaq i suspect that is going to be down not much but down because some of the big tech and we're going to show them to you now big tech on downside yet again look at that facebook 150. amazon is 13 bucks a is down 3
9:31 am
almost 4 lower for a alphabet unchanged microsoft same story. virtually unchanged. joining us now shah gilani jeff and ashley webster. all right let's get political. i'm going to start with with you shah what happens on the market wednesday morning, if tomorrow is a split decision? that is that democrats win house but republicans keep the senate your prediction for the market wednesday morning. >> i think if it is a split decision market goes down and goes through adjustment period and overwhelming victory market could go down quite a bit if by some strange circumstance, the democrats win both the house and a parking senate i think we're g at 2,000 plus drop in the dow. >> glad we got that in. jeff what happens if it is a split decision dems take the house republicans keep the senate? >> i think market is going to be down on split decision and create a stalemate we'll get no more probusiness legislation out
9:32 am
of the stalemate. i think if the democrats take majority we're going to see i agree with shah a major, major dlp in marmingts and if republicans hold majority we will see a -- short-term improvement. >> i think these marketses believe it is going to be split with a democrats taking house and markets are indeed forward looking they would have already moved much lower because they believe that democrats are going to win i believe it is bullish because gridlock is okay for the market. >> markets usually go up on average the middle of the last century and here's what the democrats would do, though, they would get rid of the corporate tax cuts to pay for infrastructure so that would be bad for the markets. >> okay here's where i'm from if we get a split decision market tends to like gridlock i don't think we'll see a decline i think might see bullish. flat to slightly higher it is a split decision if republicans increase majority in the senate and keep control of the house, i
9:33 am
think we're off to races. a significant move up -- but shah everybody is saying you get a democrat win in the senate and the house and i think you have a very significant pullback that's where i'm coming from. i think we settled that. [laughter] check the price of oil -- do remember please we've got new sanctions placed on iran today which prohibit the export of a lot of iranian oil. and we've got oil at 63 dollars a barrel that's interesting. price of gasoline, though, even more interesting and even more positive news for the economy. we're at the 276 now, we've gone down for 26 straight days. jeff seeger i call that news on gas and oil very good for the economy. >> i think it is incredible news it shows that we don't need iran. we don't need their oil. that the market had six months to adjust to this. the market filled the gap of iranian oil. this is tremendous are news that allows us to be more independent i think we'll continue to see prices decline.
9:34 am
>> do you agree on this? >> i'm confused as to who gets exception to iranian oil sanctions to south korea and indy who relied a lot on iranian oil do they get a exception and that is murky but with u.s. pumping as much oil as it is you can see not a huge impact. >> we are the energy and in the world and it shows and it is a very good thing. yep. amazon offering this is interesting -- free shipping to all customers now through christmas. no minimum purchase don't have to be a prime member well okay stock is down 25 dollars. i think that's because the president is talking about antitrust so shah, i think that had news on free shipping is good for amazon, isn't it? have i made a mistake here? >> here's the pressure that shipping costs have risen to double its operateing profit last quarter so that's an issue with weighs on stock. >> if they're offering free shipping that easing shipping cost back for amazon okay go ahead -- shah. >> this is certainly about
9:35 am
combating the likes of wal-mart and target doing what they're trying to do to increase sales on their side. so this is a brilliant move and lost leader in a sense that it is going to cost them and yes, but amazon has been had willing to go out to do that and they increase market share so a brilliant move. >> lost leader that's a long time since i've heard that. you lead with it even though you make a lot on it. wal-mart and target have 2% of the market amazon has about 38% of the market. and what wal-mart is trying to do is convince people they don't immediate to pay for prime this is a brilliant move by amazon. >> very smart move. >> groceries as well. apple had a rough week last week. it is opened up this monday morning not great -- down 456 now you're back to 202 per share on apple. jeff, i'm inclined to say, i buy apple at 202. >> well then you probably eventually lose money but -- [laughter] here's what i think.
9:36 am
this is very deceptive of what's happened with apple they have what i consider terrible, terrible news on their one and only product which is 60% of their revenue but what i've been saying all along is they have a massive war chest of money to buy back shares they are holding up their shares with buybacks when they're buybacks stop you're going to see this stock fall because they can't continue to rely on rolling out new versions of old products and thinking people are going to pay more money with tariffs and everything coming around it shall around the corner you're going see iphone prices go up people are not willing to accept higher price. >> what do you say shah i lose my money eventually if i backed apple at 202. [laughter] >> still in the family account but new trading account not much. i have a buyer at 190 if it goes lower than there i accumulate better position this is let's not forget a it will this company is not going anywhere.
9:37 am
still the leader in the business and increasing its ecosystem and ting they're going to turn to services to generate more money out of services and i think this has what the message was in the last earnings report is we're not going to -- give you unit sales because that's not as important as it used to be. of course it still is but not about the whole ecosystem and services. this company is sitting on cash generating more cash going right back up in a matter of when this period in the market calms down and tech stocks get their footing again apple is going right back up. >> so as a long-term investor that's what i am assuming i live long enough buy at 202 that's okay right shah i can buy it at 202 for the long-term? >> if you don't own it you buy it here you're happy. just ready to buy some more if it goats low because it could. long-term you're going to make money. [laughter] >> long-term for me next month -- okay, check the big board wow -- look what happened look at this. all of a sudden we're up 113 points. we opened fractionally higher, and last five minutes we've gone
9:38 am
up 100 points i have to figure out reason for that one not sure what it is. home improvement retail lows with is going to close 20 underperforming stores in america and 31 in canada stock down just 50 cents. brook shier hathaway had its own stock in third quarter to go from buffett suggest he doesn't see appealing investment opportunities for his company it is big cash pile. which is about 100 billion dollars at last count. the big change coming at verizon, spinning off its big wildest business, that's part of the big restructuring plan, that change goes into effect in january. no impact on the stock. kroger positioning itself as much more than a grocery store toys"r"us going to open up holiday popup shops in 600 kroger stores. kroger's innovative company yeah, shah. >> very innovative i think this is a really smart move.
9:39 am
because they're try aring to draw people into the store this is -- that's space, the wholesale and retail food space is getting increasingly more competitive for them to try to do this whether a temporary basis over holiday season to get shoppers in there to look at toys it is a brilliant idea you're right they are innovative company with management has done a tremendous job over last three year. >> okay. let's deal with the present statement about going amazon facebook and google on antitrust grounds he said his administration is looking at proceedings against these three companies. all of them are down significantly this morning. is that because of the antitrust threat? art -- >> i think so. but that combined with tariffs and antitrust conversations in the fact that a lot of these companies will be restricted from growth is a major issue right now. >> amazon is down 33 dollars -- >> when you have president says we should be looking at this he said with the eu find google by
9:40 am

9:46 am
what are the odds that question get some kind of trade deal with china on or around that g20 meeting? >> well the odds are better than 50/50 i think things are improving, you can see some signs and chinese media or the chinese delegations have been saying here in washington -- that they now see the outline of a deal, they believe that the president's demand back in early may stuart was to double china's purchases of u.s. exports for the first year and then double it again for the second year. and in other words having -- having 100 billion dollars of additional purchases. that's the chinese want to focus on. and that helps with jobs. helps with our economic growth rate that's what president president trump seems to be focused on other area as you mention yourself stuart they don't want to lose face they can manage this theft and criminal violations of world trading rules. so we let them go on that, and focus more on increasing our
9:47 am
exports to china, the chances of a deal are pretty good. >> so do you think that's likely because that's a -- pretty big give isn't it if china does nothing on the theft of intellectual property, that's a big give. >> yes, it is, and there's another area that is important to keep in mind is that president keeps using the word reciprocity, and they're closing their market to our investors. has been going on 30 years now another area this thing called bilateral investment treaty under negotiations for 30 years. some additional give on that would probably be very important. they would open more sectors to u.s. companies and u.s. investors. that's a hard one for them too. >> no, no -- not as hard as admitting to the theft of intellectual property. [laughter] you know? i would like -- >> i would like to see president xi admit what's been going on for last 20 years say he didn't know it be. >> he won't.
9:48 am
you know -- you will. you know china very well -- i don't. but i do know about the concept of face. for a leader of china to turn around to say yeah we're guilty. not going to happen. [laughter] >> well as you know slaying a 25% tariff on all of their exforts to us -- that's what they're afraid of that had president is gotten their attention. they also tell me that they're watching the midterm elections tomorrow. they want to see if president trump has the power to affect these elections. if he does, their desire to deal with him at the g20 will go way up i think. >> it goes, president trump is powerful tomorrow in the elections -- like for example, the gop keeps the house. and creates a majority in the senate that's very good news for a trade deal of the end of this month? yeah. >> gives president credibility with president xi you know this phone call on thursday is very important it is in the chinese yet today just to make sure that we understand the importance of the phone call. president xi drew attention to

10:00 am
stuart: you know it really is ancient history now. 1992, the outsider, newcomer, bill clinton, he beat incumbent president bush 41 with the slogan, the economy, stupid. from that time on it was a given in politics that america votes with its wallet. is that still true? we're about to find out, going into the vote tomorrow the economy is doing very well indeed. if that slogan, the economy, stupid, holds up, president trump and the gop will win. really isn't an exaggeration to say that the economy is flat-out booming by any measure. it is booming. growth, employment, wages, salaries, manufacturing, 401(k), prosperity is in the air. we're heading into the most dynamic holiday selling season in many years. abc poll out this morning show as whopping 65% think the economy is excellent or good.
10:01 am
this is the core of the president's appeal. you are better off now than you were two years ago. the democrats for good reason don't talk much about the economy. it really isn't their issue. and they don't have a prosperity plan. they're basing their campaign on the president's style, his language and his take no prisoners campaign. they're not so much for something. they're simply against all things trump. if you believe the polls, it is close. could it be that the booming trump economy is canceled out by pure dislike of trump the man? i'm not convinced. i still believe that at the heart of elections is economic well-being. americans want to climb the prosperity ladder. that means a growing economy is job one for our political leaders. the economy, stupid, wednesday morning we'll find out if that old slogan still runs true. second hour of "varney & company" about to begin.
10:02 am
♪ stuart: all right. here we go, the latest economic indicator, news on the services sector. liz: big beat, nice beat. 60.3. this shows, anything above 50, that part of the economy which is the services sector is biggest. it is expanding nicely. the trend is up for the services sector. stuart: very positive economic indicator. ashley: it is the economy, stupid. stuart: thank you. look at chevron, that is the biggest gainer of all the dow 30. part of the reason the dow is in positive territory. chevron up nearly 3%. the price of oil holding $63 a barrel, even though today is the day when we impose sanctions on iranian oil. you still have oil at 63 bucks a barrel. that means our production in america is making up for the loss of production in iran.
10:03 am
63 bucks a barrel. gas prices keep coming down. how about apple? it is the biggest drag on the dow. it is right at $200 a share, down nearly $7. 3.3%. there are reports that the company canceled plans to boost production for one of he its iphone models. that is not going down well. apple down $3 a share. david avella is with us, go pac. how do they do that, few people have landline. i never answer the phone. how do they get an indicator? >> the better indicator is output gap. you know that with economics. the gap what we're producing and number of workers, when that
10:04 am
number is high, midterm elections don't go well for incumbent party. when it goes small. it goes well. here is what the democrats have to do, it hasn't happened since 1950. it goes to your opening statement. the americans vote on economy. every time that happens incumbent party holds majority. we haven't had a economy like this is decades. the democratic chairman said that he talked about how the economy was so much better now than it was his 10 your as secretary of labor, dnc chairman. stuart: why are the polls so close? you're absolutely right. the economy is doing extremely well. the democrats don't have a dog in that hunt. why are the polls so close? >> every poll, depend who they are polling. is the turnout model what they call in their polls what produces on election day. stuart: aren't they using turnout model from 2016. >> you have to ask every
10:05 am
pollster that. not every pollster does it their own way. they have their own predicter models what the will be. what is really fun. game day is tomorrow. count up results and get moving on wednesday. stuart: you think people asked which way you will vote i will vote for donald trump, same as "brexit." >> i don't don't know embarrassed. they could be think a pollster doesn't need to know the poll. liz: they don't tell the pollster the truth and go behind the curtains and vote for trump? >> some people in last 24 hours will rethink the vote. some people will do that. whattersage that is anyone's guess, but there is a percent that will do that. that he is why the prediction business can be tricky. so let me get into it. republicans will gain seats in the u.s. senate tomorrow and, 50/50 we keep the house. stuart: that is 50/50.
10:06 am
you won't go further than that? >> compared to where everyone else is predicting, we'll lose the house, that is a pretty bold prediction. stuart: thanks, lad. thanks for being with us. let's relate politics to the market. brian nix, nuveen investment strategist. >> thank you for having me. stuart: take you three different scenarios. you tell me what the market reaction is. number one, people think will happen, split decision, democrats retake the house, republicans keep the senate. what happens? >> that is what people think, if we're 70% scenario is out come comes to few -- fruition, markets don't move that much. 2016 election, out come was not expected, "brexit." in this scenario we had it play out with other recent other presidents, you get gridlock, not much happening
10:07 am
legislatively, no pieces of market moving legislation in the next two years. that may not be a terrible thing and markets -- stuart: no big selloff, no big rally, steady as she goes if it's a split decision. >> sure. stuart: second scenario, republicans keep the house and do increase their majority in the senate. then what? >> so you have to look what is difficult in that scenario, what is likely to pass or not pass in the other scenario. you have probability, high probability of a relatively small additional tax cut that could be pro-market. if that gets pasted in the next congress. president talking about a 10% middle class tax cut, if that gets moved through congress. 2019, 2020. where we have very pro-growth fiscal policy. federal spending and tax policy is very pro-growth, will be throughout most of 2019. it may be at the margins where we see the changes. stuart: if we do get republicans hold the house and increase their majority -- it is a
10:08 am
republican sweep, does the market go up substantially, regardless what will be passed? does it go up on wednesday morning? >> i think odds you get a bounce in that scenario. i don't know about substantially because there are some other things aside what may be a decisional slight fiscal boost that may influence markets. stuart: modest bounce up if the republicans sweep. the other scenario, last one, democrats take the house and also take the senate, democrat sweep, then what? >> from legislative standpoint, that is not much different from democrats taking one house. you see abrupt stop to major legislation that might move the economy forward, might help the markets or what have you but you do probably get heightened degree of bipartisan dysfunction in the way that we've seen in other presidents who had adversarial congress. you're talking about potential budget showdowns, brinksmanship, those tend to be disruptive for a short period of time but don't
10:09 am
hurt the economy or don't knock markets off for a few days. stuart: wednesday morning, democrat sweep, market goes down? >> if it is a huge democrat sweep, get a slight modest decline because the markets are looking forward not much happening in the next congress. stuart: i'm reading between the lines here, all three of these scenarios you don't think will be that big after change in the market come wednesday morning? >> a lot of things influence what the market is doing. wednesday you get inothernant attention to the election out come i look what the fed says this week and especially in december and 2019. stuart: we appreciate you being with us, brian. big hour ahead before the midterms. if the democrats taking the house, ma even waters will be in charge of the house financial services committee. i will talk to jeb hensarling, he is currently in charge of that committee. he is stepping down. what does he make of a potential maxine waters chair of that committee? his committee? the fight for florida.

10:15 am
growth, it is a very, very ugly picture. if you want to impeach the president it will be a great day. maxine waters is one of the first democrats to call for the president's impeachment. two other members of our committee, brad sherman of california, al green of texas called for it too. unfortunately the house financial services committee becomes ground zero for the impeachment movement. i think there is a 95% chance we'll keep the senate. so you would have congress divided, so no real legislation will get through, stuart. but instead i fear she will use this as a tool to harass the administration, to really grind down the deregulation, the deregulatory efforts of the administration. it is really bad for economic growth. stuart: could she, looking strictly at financial regulation, could she unwind some of the deregulation we've already seen? could she set us back in that sense? >> stuart, i don't think she can
10:16 am
really set us back but she can slow progress because what happens is, as chairman of the committee, i have the power of subpoena. something that i treat with respect. something that i use judiciously. my fear is, she will rubberstamp subpoenas to all of the appointees of the president in the financial arena and demand documents and appearances before congress. really, you know, harrassment effort. as we know, she has called for people to harass trump officials. i assume she will be leading that effort. you know, i know she is capable of legislating. she just infrequently chooses to do that. so the good news is, stuart, i don't think she can roll it back but she can certainly slow it down. >> do you think this election is between president trump's successful economy on one hand and the democrats intense dislike of the president on the
10:17 am
other? >> well i think you framed it up correctly. if people will vote their pocketbooks, we know they often do, it will be a finite for republicans. most people are experiencing the very best economy in their entire lifetimes. it is like flipping a light switch between president obama and president trump. really deregulation, free-market capitalism, entrepreneurial spirit, it all matters and so, there is no greater poverty reduction program, consumer confidence is off the charts. small business, if people will reflect that they are having a great economy they will vote republican. if they just you know, if they want to pursue their hatred and vehemence against the president it may go a different way. stuart: jeb hensarling, you're leaving congress. you're retiring. we wish you the best. we hope to come join us before you are finally out of congress early next year.

i continue to bring that. again, i don't know what the voter would want anymore than that we have an economy growing here in ohio. we have to make it keep moving forward. stuart: your opponent is senator sherrod brown, democrat. "real clear politics," average of polls show you seven 1/2 points behind sherrod brown, your opponent. what are you going to do about that? >> well, if you look at those polls you also see he can't break 50. the most recent poll has him at 46%, with 17% undecided. this is about who will show up. this is about who will go to the voting booth. i think in the end, if you noticed he, if you look at some of the polls he is moving the wrong direction. we actually got a poll given to us today, has me up 2 points. i'm hoping that i win by two points. i -- depends who shows up. who will get to the polls. who will vote. stuart: do you think this is

repeat of 2016 where pollsters got it wrong because a lot of people didn't want to admit they supported donald trump. >> i do. here is the other thing i'm seeing, stuart, we have record numbers about of early voters. we have record numbers about individuals who are pulling absentee ballots. this will be an election a lot difficult than any other election, even the 2016 election because people are energized. republicans, democrats i must admit and independents here in ohio. a lot of early voting coming out. a lot more than ever seen before in ohio. so we'll have, we'll have some mom -- numbers i'm not sure people polled properly. stuart: to repeat, you have internal poll just in to you, shows you with a two-point lead. is that accurate again. >> yeah, i just received a poll that was done by an outside entity here in ohio that they just gave it to me, this is the first poll they have shown with me leading. so i'm happy to see that.

10:32 am
florida, bad quite frankly for the united states of america. stuart: i hear what you're saying, and yet andrew gillum, a little less than go points, about a two-point lead over his republican opponent. do you trust the polls? >> no, i don't. and i think we went over this before. one of the things that i believe that the polls are wrong for, they are sampling npas, independents way too high, around 23, 24, 25%. we're probably going to see npas under 20% or around 20%. that is because of the highly-partisan nature of this election. more partisans turnout, the democrats, republican, npas will be a smaller fraction of electorate. mow of these poll have independents breaking slightly towards andrew gillum's way, that is skewing those polls. stuart: seems over the weekend, maybe just the last 24 hours, the polls shifted towards rick scott in his fight with bill nelson in his fight for the senate. is that what you see?
10:33 am
i'm sure you have access to internal polling. rcp says it is moving towards rick scott. what do you see? >> yeah. towards rick scott, towards ron desantis. we've been seeing that trend over the the last, two, three weeks. they have been seeing there is no blue wave in florida. we're seeing more of a red wave. we've seen over the last couple of days in the state of florida, saturday, sunday, we've seen a tremendous amount of democrats come out but we've seen more republicans come out. we're probably going into election day parity. we'll be even democrats and republicans about the same amount of people turnout to the polls. which bodes well for republicans because we have a lot more election day voters, a lot more super voters waiting to vote on election day than the democrats. i will predict right here, we'll see ron desantis as the next governor, we're going to see rick scott as next senator because we will see a big red wave coming tomorrow.

10:37 am
similar platforms. stuart: you are completely discounting what president trump says he is going to do, go after facebook, amazon and what is the other one google? discountingdiscounting that com? >> think about it. trump has done wonders force the economy. think what this guy is saying, president trump. he is yelling at jay powell for raising rates because he is afraid higher rates will affect the stock market. do you know what would happen to the stock market if trump actually went after these big tech companies and tried to break them up? this down look would be childs play. we need to discount that 100%. it is not going to happen. stuart: we hear you, jason rotman, dramatic stuff. see you again soon, thanks. >> you're welcome. stuart: talk about tencent putting time restrictions on its videogames in china. they're going to limit the amount of time? ashley: this is huge issue in china. the chinese government says these games are violent and

one day from the midterm elections. tomorrow is the big day, if the democrats take back the house i think you can say good-bye to tax cuts 2.0. they could even raise the corporate tax rate. grover norquist with us, americans for tax reform president. grover, welcome back. where have you been? i haven't seen you for months? >> invite me. i'm always here. stuart: sorry about that. if democrats win control of the house is it possible, but problemmable you won't see tax cut 2.0 but possible that you could put corporate rates up again? >> democrats taking the house will try to push a tax increase. threaten to close the government down, not pass a budget for defense and rest of the government, unless you give us a tax hike. they will take their, they will, probably not have the senate. they would certainly won't have the president. if they get the house from there, they will try to blackmail the rest of the government into a tax increase
10:45 am
as part of some megadeal with many stupid things in it. stuart: that is real, that could be really damaging for the economy and certainly for the market. >> absolutely. the market i think expected more tax cuts year by year. the republicans have said if we have the house, president and senate there is a tax cut he have year, a tax cut every year. you start with no tax cut at all if the democrats take the house or the senate. and they will push for a tax increase. i believe the president will refuse to give it to them. the senate is very strong. most senators have signed a no-tax increase pledge and kept that pledge over the years. the ds will try to push raising the corporate income tax. they have even announced one of their top budget guys announced he wants to take it up to 27%, add 4% average state and local corporate income tax, takes you to 31%, higher than communist china. higher than france. higher than germany.
10:46 am
makes it higher than everybody else again. it would undo all the progress over the last year or so. stuart: yeah, but they would try to do that. >> yes. stuart: but they would blackmail on the budget. if we don't get a tax increase for corporations, you don't get a budget and we shut things down. that is quite a, quite a threat? >> well, it is exactly what they will do. when the republicans only had the house the president wanted to have a $1.4 trillion tax increase. he got none of it. he got none of it. the republicans said we're not raising taxes period, bring spending down. we dropped spending from 24% of gdp to 20% of gdp. there is a lot of power in one house, stopping obama's tax increases, bringing promised spending down what he wanted or try to push for a tax hike, very dangerous. stuart: what will you do are to the next two years if the
10:47 am
democrats take the house? >> well in the next several months i would like to think that the republican cost pass a budget for the next two years, a bare bones budget. if they try to close the government down, it doesn't go to zero, it goes to what we spent last year. give yourself some time, with one of those budgets that you pass on budget reconciliation, 51 senators, simple majority in the house. budget out for next two years, take closing the government down off the table so the democrats can't use it as a threat. stuart: okay. >> in terms of economics the president can, understands, said he wants to index the cost basis of capital gains by executive order, by treasury department regulation. this should have been done two months ago. i think we're looking at very different election if we had. treasury slow-walked it. we can still do it anytime that the president is there and the republicans have the treasury secretary. stuart: i want you to call it for us, the election is tomorrow obviously. there are three scenarios, a

10:55 am
irresponsible we feel. stuart: would mr. steyer's initiative cut you off? you would no longer access the resources, fossil fuels on your territory? it would effectively close the four corner power plant in new mexico. would effectively close the coal mine the navaho nation does own. that would immediately result in loss of thousands of jobs we cannot afford. as i mentioned before we have 40% unemployment on the navaho nation. that is why our leadership is taking a firm position that we oppose this initiative and we support a more practical, responsible transition in the future. stuart: do you know what the polls are saying about this initiative? >> right now we're leading the polls. voters in arizona seem to reject mr. steyer's initiative. we'll know tomorrow. right now we're about 10, 11 percentage points according to the polls as of last week. stuart: generally speaking the native-american community in arizona, does it vote democrat or republican? >> well navaho nation is a

11:01 am
barrel. second, we can export oil and gas, send it to europe so they're not dependent on russia. third, gas prices are coming straight down. that is very good for your wallet. finally, energy dominant means that america does not divide oil from nations which hate us and we do not share our values. we could be even more dominant if it weren't for green activists and politicians who hold of pipelines and ban any and all drilling. despite all that, it is america which runs the world's energy market and that is another trump win. the third hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ i'm quite prepared to call this a rally rather unexpected rather because it's occurred most in the last few minutes. 25 the dow 30 and the grade and

the economy? >> i think so. it puts downward pressure on economic growth. it's an unabashedly good story. if we overproduced and it really cause prices to crash that would be a concern but i don't think where they appeared turning to another positive. i think we are looking towards a spectacular holiday selling season. you're not going to throw cold water and not one? >> i would say with a number like last friday's unemployment number, and extraordinarily good number you have disposable income because wages are going up. i would argue people may spend a little bit more the next acted during the holidays. stuart: after such a messy consensus about the vote smart it is that the democrats retake the house but republicans keep control of the senate. if that is the end result, when you think the market does on wednesday morning? >> i hate to say this and talk myself out of a job but i don't think this is a big story for

the market. this is well in the markets. the democrats will get 28, 29 seats and take the house. historically that's nothing to brag about. that's what you would expect. it's not a way of election in my opinion. the major point and i disagree with grover norquist are you just had on. translator will prevail. there will not be a big new tax hike because he would veto it. stuart: what happens if tomorrow the democrats take the house and the senate? >> i think there would be some concern of something going on that could have implications for 2020. the markets might be a little concerned about that. i don't think it's going to happen. the more likely scenario is the republicans could at least two more seats in the senate that even more conservative judges are going to get confirmed. stuart: last one real fast. if republicans keep the house in

trucks and heavy equipment serving as sort of a base camp for operations for these active duty soldiers as they work to support the customs border protection agents who are hailing illegal crossing every single day. they made 900 arrests so people are coming in the height of the caravan on a daily basis and they know thousands more could come here as part of that caravan. so what they are doing is trying to shore things up and make sure that anyone who tries to come in by four sports make across will have a much tougher time doing it because the customs and border protection agents have their hands full. now they have help from the military saying that the good thing as far as they're concerned. stuart: rick leventhal, thank you indeed. appreciate you being here. tim griffin is with us, lieutenant governor of arkansas. your concern with these caravans and all migrants actually is the illegal drugs they're bringing
11:17 am
into the country. spell it out for us. >> that's right. this is not something we have to guess about. drugs come across the border every day. for years we had the meth crisis in the u.s. we tempted down by doing some things with prescription drugs and then what happened? the mass factories on the mexican side of the border exploded and that started coming in. we are seen we are seeing now with sentinel and illicit opioids. as we start to do with the opioid crisis on the prescription drug side, and the illicit use illicit trade of opioids, many of them from china being muddled through mexico laced with sentinel are even more deadly than, for example. fentanyl is 50 times more deadly than. absolutely we ought to be more
11:18 am
concerned about this. i've been down there where rick is. stuart: if i was trying to smuggle sentinel into the united states, i wouldn't be with these caravans because the caravans are closely monitored. they are watched, organized. so it's not the caravans that are the source of these drugs. it is the independent operator so to speak who are slipping by elsewhere, right? >> well come you never know where it's going to be actually. what will happen is there will be these criminal enterprises who will be preying on the caravan, looking for people to do their bidding in exchange for passage to the u.s., in exchange for money. we've seen this before. if we can think back to a lot of the migrants overflowing and to southern europe, a lot of them were up to no good we found out

11:33 am
getting close. last year was the best we had since before the recession since 2006. we get into that 5% range we could do as well as last year or better than last year and that's really outstanding. i would be more than $750 billion in sales and one quarter and that reflects the strength of the economy from tax reform, regulatory reform, wages growing and more people getting off the sidelines back to work. more participation rate is increasing. all very positive and we are bullish on the holiday season right now. >> there's been some positive movement towards a deal with china which would take care of stuff the table. i'm sure you would love to see that it would give your real shot in the arm for retailing for the holiday season. another shot in the arm. >> for this holiday season based on what was in them the kind new experiences the retailers are
