5:00 pm
melissa: andy mccarthy, ball of collusion, congratulations on the new book thanks for coming on. connell: we thank you for joining us today. melissa: bulls & bears starts right now. >> [chanting] david: major protests and contract talks resuming for a second day today as united auto workers continue their strike against general motors. nearly 50,000 workers demanding higher wages, better health care benefits and more job security, and now new concerns over how long the strike could last as gm , the uaw, and the white house all denying a report that the trump adminitration intervened in any way to help end it. we've got a live report coming up. welcome everybody. thanks for joining us this is bulls & bears i'm david asman. joining me on the panel today jonathan hoenig, carol ross, steve moore an let's get
5:01 pm
straight to the gm plant in detroit. where do negotiations stand now? reporter: david they're happening behind closed doors a few miles away from here in downtown detroit and we're not hearing much from them. perhaps that bodes well for gm stock it was down about 4% at the closing bell yesterday today back up about 3%. the strike now, seven hours from entering day three, picketers are right now making a strike salary of just $250 a week, they admit they can't keep this up forever, but they are trusting union leaders to negotiate a deal in their best interest. i don't know about everybody else, but i rely on my healthcare, and i need it. for people to think that we're overpaid, it only takes one person whose actually worked on the assembly line to understand where we're coming from, so i am very passionate about what we're fighting for and i believe in my union and i believe in our
5:02 pm
leaders they will do the right things. reporter: so how long can general motors keep this up that's another important question. some analysts say they stand to lose $100 million every single day that this strike goes on, but analysts also say they have about 77 days of inventory, so in a way, it's a game of chicken to see who can outlast who, but it's looking increasingly likely , david, that this strike is going to last at least until day three, maybe until later in the week. david: all right, grady thank you very much. we will continue to monitor for any new developments in the negotiations. meanwhile, auto workers are paying a very high price for the strike with many having to wait almost two weeks before receiving any assistance, the $250 a week, and now that only comes to $6.25 an hour. it's below the federal minimum wage. it leaves many unable to cover necessities like rent in detroit for example,, so is the strike really worth it? steve what do you think?
5:03 pm
>> on the one hand there's such a surplus of jobs and a shortage of workers so from the workers standpoint this might not be a bad time to strike, because gm doesn't have a lot of alternatives, so in that sense, they probably have a little bit of bargaining power and by the way that's one of the things we wanted. we want workers to get higher wages. on the other hand, this is a tough time for a lot of the auto industry. they're looking at downsizing as the auto industry changes, there's a big article in the wall street journal about how the driverless cars and where they're assembled and made is going to change that industry a lot so it's a high risk strategy by the workers. my hope is this gets resolved as quickly as possible, so that gm can remain in business and the workers get a little pay raise. >> yeah, i think there are times when the unions really help the workers and it sounds
5:04 pm
like gm has put a good option on the table, and so perhaps this isn't the best time for them to be pushing the envelope. it's also a little bit hard to be as empathetic given the fact that the uaw did get a huge bail out during the auto bailout. it wasn't a bailout of gm but to the uaw to the tune of about $23 billion so that's another factor that comes into play here >> there is, this is part of the 10-year history of this back and forth between gm, the workers and the marketplace for that matter. it used to b bailout in 2009 that gm was a massive hmo that also made cars. its paired back its workers massively. its paired back its expenses so this core of workers is incredibly well paid relationship relative to the average nationally but aren't having the benefits they did pre -2008 and there is this is probably on the left just like on the right, for a time when they had massive health care,
5:05 pm
guaranteed lifetime employment and even higher wages. i don't think either the company or its workers if you look at the past 10 years, have done an overly good job adjusting to the world that is rather than pining for a world that was. this goes far back before the bailout, this goes back decades of the boss not serving the rank-and-file they supposedly reported to serving and these workers union dues have gone up 25%. the president's salary that is the union boss' president salary has gone up 30% meanwhile they have what 10 people who have been arrested for corruption and this happens over and over again the unions force higher than market wages which of course leads to layautographs and people want picket lines and they are not training for that new generation of jobs building the new skills being told by the unions, just market round in the picket line and some other government force will come in and see you. david: just a small correction for jonathan. they've been charged, ten officials charged but it is the
5:06 pm
corruption is a huge story. they may eventually be arrested, indicted. >> charged. david: the detried news by the way had a very interesting piece saying blame the strike on uaw corruption. now the detroit news knows the uaw better than any newspaper in america, and what they're saying is that all those workers who are giving up $1,000 a week not to mention gm paying $100 million a day for this strike, really are at the mercy of these corrupt union leaders who were using the strike as a means to cover up for their own in discretions. what do you think of that? >> i think there's a lot to that and by the way the other thing going on in the auto industry we've talked about so many times on fox business is we're not losing auto jobs, michigan is losing auto jobs because a lot of are no going to the right to work states as you know david where the employers and the auto companies don't have to deal with these corrupt unions. >> we really have no idea what
5:07 pm
the right market price is for these workers because of the fact that we've had these middle men in the middle of this the entire time, the fact that there is a union, the fact that we did a bail out with the union first, the fact that they are charging these crazy union dues that potentially if you didn't have them in the middle of this would go directly to the workers we don't really have a good sense of what these workers should be paid. >> but the point that gm has offered they are going to invest what billions of dollars, they are going to create 5,000 new jobs, they are going to keep the health benefits the same and offering signing bonuses and an increase to base wages so what other type of industry has the type of assurances and guarantee s these union workers think they are entitled to because they happen to make cars >> union bashing is simple and easy but a lot of the contemporary political workers in america where they had more security was also where unions had more power and maybe they
5:08 pm
were often corrupt nobody could hold a candle, that kind of corruption but they did have a baseline ability to guarantee a certain minimum standard of both wages and benefits for workers that a lot of people on both the left and the right feel was a better time for our economic system than a purely, you know, free market one. david: we haven't had a time like this where we have as many jobs as we have. that's part of the evolution that this economy has taken. steve you've written about this. the fact is that right now, we have many more jobs than we have job seekers and part of that is because of the evolution of the economy. maybe there was a time where we needed unions but i'm wondering particularly corrupt union leaders you don't need them, right? >> look i do believe in the right to unionize and i do believe that the union should have the right to collectively bargain. what i strongly disagree with is states like well you know a lot of these midwestern states that have forced union rules that force people to join those unions and pay dues, that's just not fair and i think again it's
5:09 pm
one of the reason a lot of those auto jobs have moved to states that are right to work. david: all right that's got to be the last word. new details we're getting about involvement in the attacks on saudi oil facilities, we are now hearing that iranian cruise missiles were actually involved. how should the president respond we'll ask republican congressman jim banks with us next. >> if i ran conducted this latest attack to pressure president trump to back off, they will fail. at fidelity, we believe your money should always be working harder. that's why your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. just another reminder of the value you'll find at fidelity. open an account today.

5:13 pm
diligently to review the evidence, the secretary of state is traveling to saudi arabia today. david: vice president mike pence doubling down on the president's statement that the u.s. is "locked and loaded" after the drone attack on oil fields in saudi arabia. now the good news is that oil prices dropped today amid a report that saudi arabia production has returned already to pre-attack levels. the bad news? u.s. officials are now telling fox news that iranian cruise missiles in addition to the drones were used in the attack and that the weapons were fired from inside iran. here now is house arm services committee member jim banks. congressman president trump says he'd like to avoid war with iran nobody wants a war but how should these attacks be handled if indeed iran was behind them? >> david, we need to keep doing what we're doing. the retaliation of the iranians against saudi arabia is a testament that the maximum pressure campaign by the tough sanctions that this president has placed on iran are working
5:14 pm
and we can ratchet up those sanctions, but at the end of the day, we need to keep doing what we're doing t domain tape that pressure campaign. i have no doubt that's what this president will do. the facts speak for themselves the iranian economy is literally caving in and feeling the effect s of those sanctions, the iranians have at this point acting out because that's all they can do and if we keep doing what we're doing ultimately we're going to succeed. >> congressman, thank you for being with us and what we're not doing is use of force of course that's what the phrase locked and loaded kind of suggests. look both iran and saudi arabia are bureaucratic, islamic, third world countries. why not in effect let them fight it out, not unlike iran and iraq did for the better part of 10 years as against getting american troops or lives involved in most likely another blood it conflict in the middle east? >> i appreciate that that's been this president's approach.
5:15 pm
the president has shown remarkable restraint in dealing with iran, and allowing some the things to occur and meeting those with a legitimate response , without getting america into another war. that's been the president's approach all along. the maximum pressure campaign has led iran's economy to the br ink of destruction and the facts speak for themselves negative 12% economic growth in iran, 40% inflation. today, the oil revenue for iran is only 10% of what it was before. >> so you're not going to support any use of force, briefly, you won't support any use of force by the u.s.? >> at this point it doesn't appear to be necessary. that's what i appreciate about the president's approach in how he's dealt with each of iran's provocation. that doesn't mean that america isn't prepared to go to war. it's a big reason why this president has worked with myself , other members of the arm
5:16 pm
services committee to build the most powerful military that we've had in a very long time and building up the american military and showing a greater presence and force in the region , but this president is doing everything that he can to avoid going to war and that's what i appreciate. >> congressman as well as you may be reiterating the administration's talking points i'm not so sure that a region that's veering toward greater in stability with the saudis on one hand, and the civil war that displaced millions of people without any objection on the part of washington combined with an iran that is suing, that it too may resort to force in these two countries may stumble their way into war. i'm not sure how that justifies your point that the presidents approach is working spectacular ly. what if they go to war. >> well you can name a number of what ifs and we can have a hypothetical conversation but the facts speak for themselves. the iranian economy is on the br ink of a collapse and either it's an overthrow of the government by its people who
5:17 pm
have had enough by the way, 17/ 18 pension funds in iran are in the red. the rare people aren't going to allow -- >> same is true in illinois. >> i live in illinois. we might be doing that. congressman, it's carol ross. i'm not trying to overthrow illinois but i do want to get your take on what you think iran's end game here is. do you think they are trying to bait the u.s. into war to cover for a variety of potentially nefarious activities or some other reason? >> well it's pretty clear to me that the iranians while today they're not willing to come to the table and meet with president trump to negotiate a better deal to replace the failed jcpoa? i do believe that's on their horizon they don't have any other choice if we maintain the maximum pressure campaign. that is the administration's approach. that has been the approach since the very beginning, to force iran into a corner, so they come back to the table and negotiate a deal that will forever not allow them to pursue
5:18 pm
nuclear weapons, and will takeaway funding that will prevent them from funding their proxy groups that fund terrorism in that part of the world. that's the end game. that's been the presidents approach and so far i appreciate how the president has handled the situation with iran. >> this is steve moore here. watching the events over the last three or four days, it seem s to me to be a reminder of why it's so important that we're increasing american oil & gas production, and i wonder if you could maybe talk to your democratic colleagues who say that we should shut down fracking and other oil & gas developments in the united states, and remind them how important it is because of the instability of the middle east. >> steve you make a great point , energy independence is a national security asset for the united states of america. i also appreciate that this president has remodeled the reagan era peace through strength in a way building up the american military deterrent to iran doing harm on the united

5:22 pm
david: made in america, apple making a major announcement on a new investment right here in the u.s.. brett larson is in kentucky with the details, shared exclusively with fox so brett what were the highlights? reporter: hey, david thanks for having us. yes, apple today announcing they are going to invest an additional $250 million in this harrisburg, kentucky plant
5:23 pm
where gorilla glass, that is the super strong glass on our smartphones has been made for the past 13 years. they chose this place for a reason and they invested in this place as well. take a listen to what apple ceo had to say to us yes, sirrer. >> today we're announcing an additional $250 million from our advanced manufacturing fund, in corning so we're more than doubling down, quarter of a billion dollars. in fact the phones we launched just last week the 11 and the 11 pro have glass that came from here and it's the toughest glass in any smartphone in the industry. >> and actually you could see that glass rolling off the assembly line right here rolling off for at long as we've been here. a great investment in this place and they've actually apple has been working with corning in kentucky for the past 13 years
5:24 pm
since the 2007 launch of the iphone and corning is one of more than 30 manufactures in the united states that apple is working with, and one of the few recipients of money from their advanced manufacturing fund, which is focused on domestic manufacturing here in the united states. david: well that is a key theme brett stay with us so gang, was this reveal a little more a show about developing business in america than it was about apple glass? >> yeah, it doesn't necessarily seem like the most innovative use of capital, david. i don't know if it's america, if it's a way to sure up the supply chain and make us less dependent on some of these foreign suppliers given the fact that we're having these trade discussions or maybe there is some kind of amazing glass innovation that we're all missing and we're just going to be blown away by the fact that they made this investment. >> david i love this story when companies invest and create jobs
5:25 pm
in america, and look i think apple is obviously under the gun just this past weekend the anti-trust, you know the trust busters are going after apple and google and this is good corporate citizenship. i love it. >> of course what the administration doesn't realize and what people support the tariffs don't realize is that that glass made in the united states is then shipped across the pacific ocean to a factory, in coastal china where it meets a whole bunch of other products that go into the iphone that it's assembled from components sourced around the world most of which have nothing to do with being sourced in china. they are assembled there as are hundreds of other products and the idea that china is making all these things selling them to us is completely inaccurate. all you need to do is look at how the iphone is put together from the products made in united states. >> good point. >> but there is something that i'll ask our reporter. there's something about corning in particular. apple sources product talked about all over the world but
5:26 pm
corning has a unique expertise and this is one area where an american manufacturer in fact does have an advantage over foreign competitors because of that technology. correct? >> you absolutely make a terrific point. when we were talking to jeff, he came and said we absolutely have to have a glass face on the iphone. they said that it would be about two to three years before they would be ready to do that. corning had it ready in three to six months. >> the big question here that every iphone user wants to know is it shatter proof or do i have to take my iphone in? no seriously. how can they not make a glass cover on the iphone that doesn't shatter? >> david totally shatter proof if you don't drop it. >> [laughter] >> i wondered, brett do you have any insight into the structure of this deal, what
5:27 pm
does it really look like from a nuts and bolts and glass perspective so to speak? >> the grains of sand that go into the making of the glass. we know they have had this partnership with corning since back in 2007 and we know corning is a very important part of this common the and the factory has been around since 1957 they started making eye glasses and then lcd panels for computer displays in the early 2,000s and now they are cranking out this gorilla glass and it's on over 6 billion smart devices around the world, and certainly we all have the story of dropping it and hitting the corner and the thing looks like a spider web had its way with our smartphone but they are making it stronger and stronger and certainly an investment like this will help further that. david: great reporting today, brett we really appreciate you being here. brett larson thanks very much. new york city is letting kids skip school this friday, but there is a catch. how the city could be letting

5:31 pm
david: new york city's 1.1 million public school students have been given a pass essentially to skip school on friday if they want to attend u.n. inspired climate protests. the cities department of education calling day off " principal truancy" and official s did say that students must have parental consent to
5:32 pm
miss class, to avoid getting in trouble but is this an example of government overstepping its boundaries from education into politics? >> principal truancy this is just like the innates are literally running it, david. are there no rules or just no order in school? i mean, i feel sorry for these kids. they have been indoctrinated into this climate for years now for decades but at least, the protesters back in the 70s the vietnam protesters those kids at least had a point. this is just an excuse to miss school and i think it's terrible that the school, in fact, is in a sense setting the examples that it's okay to skip school where they should be learning, to march around with signs against global warming. >> first off i do agree with jonathan that the word principal truancy has to enter the annals of absurd phrases but look climate change is real. there is a human element in it at the very least and a major human element which is what most
5:33 pm
people tend to believe except many americans, and the idea that students can learn something -- david: americans are smarter. well we know that. shouldn't they learn something about sitting in school? they actually have to learn something. >> as a child of the 80s did you not go on the just say no to drugs walk? that was a big thing that came out of the reagan administration , we all had the green and white t-shirts and all got out of school. i'm here for anything that'll get you out of school. david: okay. >> my mom used to call me out like at least once a week, she called out my friends if it's a good reason to skip school, i'm behind you, kids. >> i think the problem here is that the teachers unions are doing here and the school administration are using kids as kind of political pawns, and i wonder how you would feel about this if they had the kids go out to a pro-life rally. would that be legitimate? david: that's a very interesting question. >> but it happened in the 80s.
5:34 pm
it happened just say no to drugs we all got out of school and we did it. david: but i think steve makes a great point which is it has to be the politically correct view in order to be accepted. if anybody has a view that's not politically correct forget about it. >> the idea that human beings are not part of climate change and there are things that we could do. >> wait hold on we have a robust debate going on in this country about that and the idea the left says we're just going to shutdown debate and everybody has to be involved in group think, that's the whole problem with the schools right now in my opinion. >> well you could certainly have a debate about what the role of human beings are. >> but you can't have the debate if you're not in class. that's the whole point. >> [laughter] >> you can't debate anything. this is a reason for kids and their teachers to skip off, have an easy day, oh, yeah, science and if it's that important to learn they should be learning in schools not standing on the streets holding signs. >> now it's young kids yelling
5:35 pm
at clouds. david: the other thing that bothers me is in the old days back when we were protesting vietnam war and things like that , it was a rebel stance. now it's almost like i think carol alluded to this it's almost like they are being encouraged to go out and protest protest should be kind of a rebelious thing not something that you do in order to fall in lockstep right? >> which means the kids will hate it later on. everything that you too it to do you try to push a kid into is going to back fire later in their life. so just so we know how this all goes. >> i'm waiting for the group of kids who show up next week to having not been there and when asked where they were they will say they were engage in an act of principal truancy. >> [laughter] david: we'll leave it at that from new york to california, governor gavin newsom and some big city officials are calling for president trump's help in fighting a growing crisis in that state, but could more money actually make a bad situation worse? that's next. >> it didn't start two years ago when he became president.
5:36 pm
it didn't start six years ago when i became mayor but it is our collective watch and collective responsibility to solve this. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from anyone else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist. nothing stronger. nothing gentler. nothing lasts longer. flonase sensimist. 24 hour non-drowsy allergy relief the riskiest job. the consequences underwater can escalate quickly. the next thing i know, she swam off with the camera. it's like, hey, thats mine! i want to keep doing what i love. that's the retirement plan. with my annuity i know there's a guarantee. annuities can provide protected income for life. learn more at retireyourrisk.org

annuities can provide protected income for life. to call yourself an explorer? traveling to the darkest depths of the ocean. pushing beyond the known horizon. passing through... "hey mom," "can we get fro-yo?", >>"yeah, fro-yo." "yes." the all-new 2020 ford explorer st. with intelligent 4wd and terrain management system. it's the greatest exploration vehicle of all time. but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening...
5:38 pm
so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid. should always be working harder.
5:39 pm
that's why your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. just another reminder of the value you'll find at fidelity. open an account today. david: president trump in california today and governor newsom giving him a wish list asking president trump to step in and help the state with its growing homelessness crisis and newsom calling on the administration issue $50,000 housing vouchers which help low income families subsidize the cost of their rent while increasing the value of those vouchers so is this really the answer to getting people off the streets what do you think, steve >> it's kind of rich for this mayor to basically say we have a homeless crisis when san francisco is inviting people from all over the country to come in. i was just in san francisco three weeks ago and they do have a massive homeless problem and nobody in the city is doing anything about it and it's disgusting people are deficating
5:40 pm
on the street corners and so on. i'm very much in favor of putting up shelters for people so they have a place to stay and a warm place to stay at night and a meal but the idea they can just in vade the street corners and make san francisco an unlive able city the people are responsible for that are the political leaders in california and the residents who vote for them. >> apparently they don't understand basic economics of supply and demand so you'll give more vouchers with a supply of housing that's going to help the homeless situation exactly how? i'm not really sure. this comes down to regulation. things like rent control which restricts the supply of available housing, not having incentives, build more affordable housing having people complain about having certain kind of housing in their neighborhood, i mean this comes back to what is california doing at the state level and frankly the homelessness problem has a lot to do with drugs and mental health. >> this is one of these issues that are best suited to be solved or not in this case, by
5:41 pm
the local government. this is a local government problem, in many ways in san francisco it's a local government, it's not as if there are every city in the united states is having a homelessness problem the way every city in the united states in the 1970s did in fact have a crime problem this is not entirely specific to san francisco, portland and seattle, it's a west coast city issue and -- david: it's growing here in new york. >> it is but it is highly sensitive to local government policies, and this is a local government thing and i don't understand how san francisco on on the one hand to say we don't want to deal with immigration enforcement and we don't want to deal with other federal things which i think it has every right to do and then say oh, -- >> zach you make a great point. homelessness is actually down by about 12% over the last decade nationwide, but it's up as you pointed out, in areas where government is getting involved in micro managing the economy in ways they shouldn't one of which is carol alluded to policies
5:42 pm
that attract homeless people, freebies or what not and the other are these not in my backyard building regulations, in places like san francisco and seattle, but essentially restrict this so you can only build two stories high or the environmental it'ses who say you can't move that lake or you can't move that, that restricts supply and now in fact they have rent control in california, which is going to restrict supply even more, forcing prices to go higher. david: this is one area where you have to go even beyond economics. i think it's basic morality. you don't indulge people's sicknesses and frankly a lot of these people on the street are sick. they either have a drug problem, a mental health problem. to indulge their dilutions or their addictions does not help them at all. it doesn't help people to let them sleep and defecate on the sidewalk. in fact it's a public health issue as well but it goes, it does go beyond economics. doesn't it? >> well it goes beyond economic s but it is a local issue to deal with the problems
5:43 pm
in the community and there are some people who are much more about it and some are much more humanitarian but at the end of the day it is for that community to solve that. >> let's say that they have plenty of dollars available to solve this problem. they just aren't using them in an effective manner and they are focusing on doing other stupid things. >> the reason is because there's a crisis of will. it wouldn't really be that hard to get the homeless off of the street corners and get them into shelters and every time they build these encampments take them down and all you have to do is a few times but people, i talk to people in san francisco and they are like there's nothing we can do. david: well guess what its been done before. mayor guiliani in new york in the 1990s he intervened and he said it's not right to lt. somebody indulge their sickness es you have to intervene if you care about somebody and that's what he did. he didn't allow people to sleep on the streets. he put them into shelters or get them out but bottom line is you

have to intervene. and he did it by the way with spending less money. he cut $1 billion. >> jonathan's point seriously, i'm not making this up, banana mix is an acronym for build absolutely nothing anywhere near anyone. >> [laughter] >> good work, zach. we are awaiting the results for an unprecedented repeat election in israel, fox news national security and foreign policy expert joining us next on why this tight race could effect our interest in the middle east.

david: exit polls are out now showing the iranian prime minister race is too close to call as voters are deciding whether benjamin netanyahu is going to have a fifth term in
5:48 pm
office or of he will be replaced by retired military chief. april's election looked like a victory but he lacked support from a few smaller parties forcing him to call new elections as we await results let's bring in fox news national security foreign policy expert f erris on what we can expect and why is this election important for americans? >> well any iranian election is important for the united states because they are our allies, but this one in particular, because the results depending on afghan or benjamin netanyahu would win will change the policies of israel at a time that is very delicate for the united states including obviously what's happening in the gulf, iran, syria, we're involved in syria, iraq, israel is also involved so for all of these national security issues it will be important depending on who the winner is going to be tomorrow. >> so who is the winner going to be tomorrow? >> [laughter] >> i remember in the late 90s we were watching an election
5:49 pm
also between benjamin netanyahu and paris and at one point the numbers were against benjamin netanyahu he said give us those, he wants every single vote and he won at the end of the day. i'm not saying he's going to win this time but who knows these small votes are important in the iranian election. >> it's jonathan hoenig. israel is like our only allie it's the shining rights respect ing technologically advanced western country, but this, with all respect, is old news. he's been around the block many many years. isn't it time for some type of new leadership in israel to take forth and continue this productive friendship with the u.s.? >> you know, israelis have to decide that, but here is what some observers in the middle east will tell you. benjamin netanyahu is at a certain juncture and formed a partnership with our president
5:50 pm
trump and many many friends in congress and there's kind of a bridge. if he can't do that bridge in terms of what we're going to do with iran, with the palestinian in question, with all of that, then the new prime minister was the chief of staff. he has a lot of knowledge but he didn't have the experience of benjamin netanyahu for what is to come back, what the difference is going to be but who knows they might say we want something new. >> it's carol ross in terms of when we get potentially a winner announced tomorrow, does it end there or do we end up in another cycle where we need to have the prime minister form a viable coalition and government? do we have a conclusion to the story or could this go on and on like the bible? >> [laughter] >> it depends on the numbers, seriously. it's a parliament system and if we have a clear, strong winner and we don't have it right now, it's very very close then that prime minister will form the government. if we have a winner, but not with a large margin, he will be
5:51 pm
nominated by the president of the state to fund government and he may not be able to form the government so it could get complicated by tomorrow. >> i know what benjamin netanyahu stands for, what would be the policy differences if he loses? >> that's the big question. actually, the differences that we're now going to see here at least most of americans is about economic financial reform, very internal matters, integration, and where we're going to feel it basically is the behavior with regard to various issues in the region where we are involved meaning what would israel do under a new leadership, which is left of center with regard to iran, engaging or not engaging, with regard to the arab coalition but this white house is very interested in the peace process, that mr. jared kushner is developing and he has been developing this with benjamin netanyahu's team so there is going to be a question to the new prime minister. we don't know.
5:52 pm
>> one thing that is interesting in light of the past 20-30 years, i agree these elections matter. they matter to americans, because of the allegiance, but how much the issues of israel and palestine are no longer the hot button issues of the middle east, the way they were for most of the 80s and into the 2000s and have been replaced now by iran, saudi arabia, issues in the gulf, and that is a genuine inflection point where the arab world in particular is something much less focused on or interested in the palestinian s in the west bank for whatever it is it's hot buttons much more of a local crisis, not an international one and i mean, i just you think i don't think this election is going to change that tragically one way or the other. >> absolutely actually, i fully concur with you, with regard to the region it's not going to change. it's really with regard certain supporters of israel here who are backing demonstration and its policies because of the special relationship with israel that could have some political
5:53 pm
ramifications here but all in all, whom whomever is going to am could is next prime minister of israel an security issues we tell continue to partner. david: it is just a matter of degrees i'd say but one degree of difference between benjamin netanyahu is again in favor of restarting negotiations with the palestinian authority, a lot not only a lot of israelis but a lot of people in the u.s. think that would be a mistake, no? >> in my view, david, the practical pragmatic view of observing this for the last quarter of a century, it's a question of experience and try to do it again. benjamin netanyahu has done it. he knows every single in-n-out and then he makes his own option he was not in the political process for that long so what we're going to expect is a longer binge than with mr. benjamin netanyahu. that's the only big difference. david: great to see you thanks so much for explaining all of this to us. appreciate it. >> thank you. david: be sure to join us tomorrow by the way. we'll be speaking with israeli
