virginia, state for lovers, and if the first time in a decade, where republicans could control all levers of government. we'll be speaking with lieutenant governor wynnson -- win so many sears in just a moment. first to grady rim the bl. >> reporter: neil, all 140 of virginia's sate legislative seats -- state legislative seats are up for grabs today. republicans are hoping that they can flip the state senate, keep control of the house and clear a pathway for governor glenn youngkin's legislative agenda on issues like education, the economy and crime. >> what's happening across the common wealth of virginia is just like in 2021, virginians are coming together. and it's not just republicans, it's independents, it's democrats. we've determined that we are going to finish the work we started in 2021. >> reporter: moving on to mississippi today, democrat brandon presley, a public service commissioner and a

distant cousin to the king of rock and roll himself, is hoping to unseat republican governor tate reeves. presley would be the first democrat elected governor of that state in to 20 years. another governor's race we're closely watching many kentucky. democrat governor andy bashir is trying to fend off gop attorney general daniel cameron. >> well, the biggest difference between me and my opponent is i'm running for something, and he's just running against someone. my opponent is just attack, attack and attack, and that that's not how you lead. >> reporter: and finally in ohio, we're following two ballot initiatives that would have major implications for the buck with eye state -- buck joy state, one that would legalize weed there, another that would add abortion protections to the state's constitution. a lot to follow tonight, neil. neil: yeah, that is the big one. thank you very much for that, grady trimble. there's go to lieutenant governor winsome sears of the

beautiful state of virginia. governor, very good to have you. so much at stake here, particularly if republicans can take the senate. that would be a big development. you'd control all levers of the government, and that really gets the agenda that the governor wants and, no doubt, you want through a lot more easily. how do you see it? >> well, if the polls are gonna hold, then we should take the senate, and we should keep the house, and then you're going to see common sense, common sense agendas coming through. you're going to see transparency, you're going to see accountability even more. and we've already started doing that. but, of course, you know, we've got the democrats who are bent on stopping everything that the governor's trying to push through, that we're all trying to push through. and, you know, there were democrats who voted for us in 2021 who made the decision that they're not going the way that their party is going because none of it made any sense, and they decided to vote for us. i think we're going to see that again. neil: let me can ask you a

little bit how it goes in the senate there. it's the evenly split9 in that event. you would be the tie-breaking vote. i'm sure you're hoping it won't come down you deciding that, but if it does, it's the obviously still a republican senate in that event. but does that make getting legislation, particularly9 what the governor wants to do and what you want to do, a tad more difficult? that the margins are such it does make it a climb? >> no, it doesn't, neil, and i'll tell you why. because the configuration of the three very important committees in the senate, they're wholly, totally in favor of the democrats. what do i mean. well, on the appropriations committee there are 10 democrats to 5 republicans. on the commerce committee, there are 12 democrats to 4 republicans. and then on the rules chief where if we say 5 plus 5 equals 25, well, then it's really outsized, it's 13 republicans to

4 republicans -- 13 democrats to 4 republicans. i have watched bills come to the floor seemingly escape that the democrats didn't want to come to the floor of the senate, and hay rise to one of these three, and it's dead. they did that with so many bills. with that change we're going to see more bills coming to the floor, more common sense agendas, less divisiveness, less nonsense and, you know, less deceit, frankly. that'll neil you know, you and the governor have avoided, you know, some is of the third rail issues that have hurt republicans in other states. abortion comes to mind with the a 15-week sort of standard or or that i believe virginia has. you know, not too much, not too little. it seems right now to have avoided a brush fire protest. but that does seem to be the calculation9 that the both of you took going in. that you wanted to balance the issues that matter -- hot that that did not, by any means -- but you also wanted to pursue

that in education and parents' rights. this is a big test of that. do you think it's a big test for the nation to watch? >> well, what we, as i said before, it's really common sense. you know, neil, there are some politicians when shake your hand before election and that shake your confidence the its core after wards. that's not what we're about. and enough virginia voters have seen that based on what we've done so far, we've tried to protect everyone. we're not against this and against that. we want to make sure that businesses understand that they have a friend here in virginia. so come and create the jobs that we need for the beautiful things, the quality of life that we like. parents, we're on your side. we're never not gonna be on your side. you never signed any documents saying that you want the school board in charge of everything. and, by the way, create policies that separate your family and you're wondering what's going on

in your child's life. you know, we're talking about the making sure you're safe. and we need commonwealth attorneys, for example, who will enforce the law. i mean, neil, what is the good of the law if the democrats who are commonwealth's attorneys just pooh-pooh it, and they let victims go? unsafe. and the person rate theres have more -- perpetrators have more rights. that's not going to continue when we have the majority. when the democrats did, they had absolute power, and they controlled our lives absolutely. they cannot be rust thed with that. neil: -- trusted with that. that'll neil part of making this all work today to your point, governor, is winning over traditional democratic vote earth in some of these constituencies that have been safely voting blue for a while thousand. and is you and the governor share a trait that intrigues me where you're not nut jobs. and i mean that with all due respect. you can work with the other side. you draw your limitations where you think they've gone too far

in education, but you can still work with them. and i think of what's going on in washington right now, the battles on both sides, the pitchforks, democrats, republicans, possibly another government shutdown. how do you avoid that this these pretty strained, extreme timeds? -- times in. >> listen, i was just with at the polls this morning, and we're going to be going back out again, and i was talking to one of the democrats who's a poll watcher and she's handing out information. and shed asked me -- he asked me a question, and she said, she didn't really want to hard my answer. i said, look, i am your lieutenant governor. if you these help from me, you call me because this is how we are in america. we don't represent one side or another, we represent everyone. and that's what we're trying to do. you know, you live your life and you let others live their lives. but you don't dictate, you know, who we're going to really like and love and all this other

stuff. just you, as the kids say, do you. when it comes the policy, we're not going to try to destroy your business by -- which is what happened with me, government policy, not covid, shut down my business. and the people understand these things. hi they want us all to -- they want us all to to just get a along. neil: yeah, you're right about that. you have got this that can where you can make a very -- a knack where you can make a strong point without ever raising your voice. it is possible. governor, good seeing you -- >> we've got that too. neil: there we go. winsome sears, or maybe history in the making in virginia tonight, we will see. adam johnson, bull's eye ingenuity fund, mark tepper, strategic wealth partners' ceo. what's going on today, it's largely more the war in israel. do you look at that and say, well, it's following its own

path here, and it likes what it seesesome. >> obviously, i think the number one thing that's moving the markets right now is expectations as to whether or not the fed is going to the cut rates next year. as it currently stands, i think the fed funds futures are pricing in about three and a half cuts. neil: no way, right? >> three and a half cuts -- neil: do you buy that? >> no, i don't buy that. here's the issue. i mean, on one hand we're expecting three and a half rate cuts which, in my opinion, would imply you're in a reneges session their -- recessionary scenario. neil: and that would be half a point, giving up half what a you raised. >> correct. but corporate earnings in 2024 and 2025 are expected to grow by 12% each year. so somebody's wrong. neil: who is it? [laughter] >> well, i think the two es of earnings and employment are the greatest story never told. and maybe it should be told and celebrated a little bit more. we just finished the third the quarter with earnings reporting season. stocks, in general on average,

beat the estimates by 7.5%, and the growth was 2.5, you know in so finally for the first time in four quarters, we actually have a pivot, and earnings are back to growth mode. number one, as mark just pointed out, the ped is off our backs, inflation is coming down, and so rate hikes have stopped going up. and number two and, again, that gets to the two es of earnings and employment, we have the most number of people ever making the most amount of money ever, spending the most amount of money ever. i know it doesn't always feel good, but they are doing that. he'll that'll what's the disconnect here, guys? i mean, joe biden would love you to repeat that -- [laughter] but, you know, it's funny because the data that does support everything you just said. but americans, when you poll them on the subject, oh, you know, get the bum out. what's going on? >> but there's also two sets of data, i can make that argument. because since april of '23, bidenomics wants everyone to believe that we've added 1.234 million jobs when in actuality

there's only 191 more people in the work force today the than there were april of this year. neil: and a lo of those jobs that were lost with covid and everything shutting down and you come back, so that's why? they're just, well, these aren't real job gains? >> i mean, you've got the establishment survey, the household survey. so to your point, you're looking at more household information. but even if you look at the headline data, you look at the composition of the most recent jobs report, over one-third were government jobs. we all though that government employees do not produce anything economically. that's a tax on taxpayers. and the other two-thirds, 90 percent were low paying health care jobs. neil: would you rather have a plus sign in front of those jobs? >> without a doubt. neil: i i know back to this election before the big. alexis: next year, if republicans fail at winning the senate many virginia and controlling all levers of government there, if republicans

fail to the take control in new jersey where there's actually hope that they would take over the statehouse, good luck is that -- >> yeah, dwhrook. -- good luck. neil: and let's say that kentucky's democratic governor doesn't tail at re-election. i only mention those case, would wall street be disappointed, say, uh-oh, a largely republican crowd not across the board and there's trouble atootsome. >> here's the thing, we can all have political views, my job is to make money for my clients. i run the american -- neil: you're not red or blue, you're green. >> i'm green. thank you very much is. neil: we have a line for that. >> but it's important. you have to divorce your own political views and what you want as a political outcome from what you're trying to accomplish as an investor. again, my job. and i could actually make the argument you can do this with data going back to world war ii that, arguably, markets do best when there are democrats,

actually, at the pursestrings because they throw money into the economy. i don't like that as a republican. i don't like that -- neil: the knee-jerk reaction of your colleagues though tends to be that it's better with republicans around. history can confound if people on that. >> that's probably because most money managers are republicans. i get it. neil: do you think if it's like, let's say, a blue wave today. we're looking at these key states. then what? >> i mean, i think there's also the whole fiscal accept spending side of the equation which we have not run a budget surplus since i think it was 2001, that was the last time. so republican or democrat in charge -- neil: that was blink. >> yeah. >> yeah, you're right. >> and you hate to give him credit, but, right. that was the last surplus. >> so we've been running this deficit year after year after year, and i think a lot of republicans want to believe that with republican leadership some of that reckless fiscal spending will abate.

i don't know that that's the case. i mean, that's a lot of the narrative out there right now. that actually would hurt the market in the short run. neil: you're right both to say something obvious in talking about the red or blue thing, but wall street loved the days of bill clinton. >> yeah. neil: they were all making money hand over fist, and that's what it comes down. is so so who will they most enjoy working with, someone who's going to help that process, not someone who's going to hurt it, right in. >> the reasons the freedom caucus actually has gained traction because those are the defines who said we can't keep spending. decan't keep having these omnibuses and continuing resolutions. need to hold the line. i agree with that. in fact, we even need to push the line back and deal with entitlements. guess what? the problem 1st, that's -- the problem is that's not a popular thing to say because you're going to take money away from people to do that. neil: talk about the third rail. in the mean time, we aring looking at other developments, how this israeli-hamas war is

factoring out, some very tough positions that benjamin netanyahu has taken. but a very different market reaction to this particular war in the middle east versus last one 50 years ago. we go back and compare and that take a look where this could be going after this.

♪ neil: not a ceasefire, but a tactical pause. so what is the difference? well, that is prime minister of israel ben men netanyahu's way of saying i'm open the something that would have limited opportunities to get people out of gaza yet aid in and then get back to the fighting. or something like that. mike tobin in southern israel with more on how all that's sort of panning out right now. mike. >> reporter: gaza city is surrounded, the gaza strip is cut into two. most of what we're seeing behind me and deeper into the gaza strip is that israeli or forces are taking out structures that are a threat. sometimes they blow them up, sometimes they've got the heavy equipment like the hydraulic shovelses and big d9 bulldozers to the take them out. the kind of weapons they're finding, rockets, guns.

and once again they are finding the explosive belts. we haven't seen the suicide bombers in white concern quite some time, but they've found over 400 explosive belts according to the idf. also they're finding the entrances to tunnels, and they'll take away the structure that was protecting the tunnel and blow up the tunnel itself. meantime, you have so many palestinians who are trying to get out of the fighting in the north and head south of the evacuation line. they merged today waving white flags, 2,000 yesterday, 5,000 today. the corridor remained open most of the day with a pause at about 11:00 because there was some shooting, but they're making their way south. tales of people going through live fire, passing bodies on the road, but they are making their way south. and when they get to places about halfway down the gaza strip, we understand that the u.n. agencies that handle the palestinians or help them out are overwhelmed with more than a half million people in the shelters.

to refugees who are making their way south are forced to sleep wherever they can. neilsome. neil: all right or, mike, thank you. be safe is, my friend, as always. mike tobin. dan hoffman now, former cia station chief, fox the news contributor. obviously, benjamin netanyahu doesn't want the give on this issue of a ceasefire no matter how long you're ceasing the fire, so these tactical pauses, what do you make of them if they ever come to fruitionsome. >> yeah, he's, he definitely is trying the draw a distinction there between a ceasefire, and there's been a lot of, a lot of those in the united states on our college campuses among other places clamoring for one of those, but that's just giving hamas an opportunity to rearmplan their next barbaric attack against israel. but netanyahu is facing some pressure if from the biden administration to the deal9 with the hostage crisis and the idea that you might be able to pause for some period of time to the get some of those hostages out and then at the same time to

recalibrate israel's targeting of those hamas strongholds, so many of which are in civilian areas. and the united states would like the israeli defense forces to distinguish a little bit better between the civilians and the masses fighters. -- hamas fighters. very difficult to do because hamas deliberately comingles with civilians. they launch military attacks and missiles from hospitals and residential neighborhoods while themselves hiding below ground in those tunnels. neil: you mentioned the pressure coming from the administration. the pressure, of course, is coming from his own base, many of whom are sharply delighted over how far to go in helping israel k if there's this huge pro-palestinian portion that is not a fan of that. and israel is kind of stuck in the middle. i'm wondering, the pr aspect of this. it shouldn't matter, but the pr is something that hamas,ed oddly enough, is winning in that war,

that part of it, it's winning. what do you make of that? >> they are. look, there's a kinetic war going on right now, and there are a lot of innocent palestinians caught in the crosspyre because a hamas if is putting hem there -- crossfire. and there's an information war which hamas, iran a and the terrorists are winning. and it's over to the biden administration to use the bully pulpit to emphasize that this war is hamas' causing. hamas launched that barbaric, murderous attack on innocent civilians in israel on october 7th, and israel is defending themselves from that by launching this attack. i think sadly in our own country, too many are conflating hamas with the palestinian, the innocent palestinian civilians. that's why it's important if there's one thing we learned from our own war in iraq, to have a postconflict reconstruction plan. the idea that the israel would assume control to occupy gaza, i think, the last thing the pal stint -- palestinians would like to the hear.

they want economic opportunity and good governance. that's how how you drive a wedge between them9 and the terrorists. neil: dan, i always learn a lot. thank you very much. in the meantime, a lot of people are surprised china isn't doing anything to intervene in the middle east. it's got to some battleships close to the neighborhood, but is it really about taiwan? why montana's governor who was just there says it's something we should be looking at.

making some think for china it's the time to move, to stir up trouble in taiwan? >> i don't know what they're thinking. i do mow they spent spy balloons to observe our military facilities, tiktok is being used to spy on individual americans, and they've been buying up land around our military bases. that's why here in montana we've banned tiktok, we've made it illegal for foreign adversaries to buy property here. and it's why i was in taiwan last week with a contingent of almost 40 business owners advancing economic ties to strengthen our economy and theirs. i had a chance to meet with president si, she was very concerned about food security. 70% of taiwan's food is inported. they have an -- imported. he was an increasing ap a tighten for if american wheat and beef k and we want to be that supplier. we also are, our bioscience industry is looking to secure supply chains.

china? that alone? >> i believe, i believe we have a commitment to the taiwanese people, and that spans economic as well as national security issues. neil: and a military response, in that event. >> you know, that would be a decision for the federal government. we're doing everything we can here in montana to stand with the taiwanese people. neil: got it. governor, thank you for taking the time. in the meantime, joe biden's poll numbers are slip, slipping away, and thousand we're getting signs that so is the money from donors getting very nervous that he's a loser. after this. ♪ ♪ i'm so glad we did this.

hispanics. you know, we're continuing to see that voters are not feeling any positive chick metrics that are happening -- economic metrics that are happening. but that being said, these polls are a year away. biden's always been underestimated. it helps democrats. it helps bide when he performs strong in some of these situations. and i do believe that next year, if trump is convicted in january 6th-related trials, we know that swing voters are going to swing to some extent to biden. and that is something that's not been calculate yet in the polls. neil: can you see that happening? >> do you think biden is going to be more mentally capable a year from now than he is right now in he does have a rob, there is no doubt. >> look, biden's age, his fitness is something that people are concerned about and complaining about. but at the end of the day, the choice is between biden and trump who ends up being

convicted, i think that we're going to see voters who are on the fence about -- >> so you're saying weekend at bernie's beats crazy donald. i don't know about that. neil: no, the weekend at a bernie's thing is a little extreme. >> it's not that extreme. neil: lee, let me ask you this, i mean, you know, i've heard this from a lot of people who say a conviction changes everything because in some conviction with cases you have to go the jail immediately, even as your appealing -- you're appealing. i don't know how that will sort out for a former president because it's not exactly a potential innate there. but would a conviction on any one of these, not so much the civil cases, but what do you make of that? and that is what a lot of democrats are pinning their hopes on. >> i think it is what a lot of democrats are pinning their hopes on, and i think that they are not, i think, foolish to do so because it's really hard to predict what happens. but donald trump in many ways, the polls behave like opposite

day. whatever you think is going to happen, the opposite happens. when you look at how people view what's happening to donald trump, about 75% of americans right now say that there is a two-tiered system of justice, that there seems to be an unfair system that's rigged against certain people. they want a president, more than 60, that's going to the fight back -- 60%. the only one who fits that bill is donald trump. so i think it's a valid question what's going to the happen. when you look at swing voters, in particular at women, are they going to be able to do it? i don't know. i mean, the bottom line is what these polls point to is a real weakness in joe biden's candidacy. not necessarily strength in the republican -- neil: yeah. if you're losing in the polls to that guy in this environment, you raise a good point there. carly, some key demographic groups are leaving the president; young people, hispanics, african-americans. that's not a good confluence of events. i know a year out, but that has got to worry you. >> it does worry me, absolutely.

these are groups that biden's going to these to get back if he is going to be successful in the election. at the end of the day though, i still think we're a year out, and i think when push comes to shove and we hit election day and they look at the alter that it choice -- alternate if choice, i think a lot of these voters will come back to to biden. and i know that the administration is focused on dedicating out-- >> you know, here's the two problems biden has going forward, inflation isn't coming down fast enough. the rate is concern. neil: right, the rate of increase. >> so he's got a huge problem with that. that affects working class people, and that's probably why you see a lot of working class african-americans and hispanics moving away from him right now. and i just don't see it getting that much better going forward. i could be wrong. but, you know, because of his economic policies in order for prices to come down, you literally need a recession. so that's not good. the other hinge is he's not going to be the more mentally --

i'm trying to think of a nice way of saying -- neil: sharp. >> -- sharp in a year from now. he's going to be worse. neil: you know, we're getting up there ourselves, charlie. >> i know. and put me out of my misery when it's time -- neil: yes, yes. happily so. >> when you tart hitting, if you know the aging process, when you hit that sort of wall and slope -- neil: news young ladies would know nothing about that. lee and carly, thank you very much. i did want to get a sense of seeing where this is going. you're all right, it's a year out. anything can happen. you know, charlie and i could be vegetables, you just don't know. right, lee in. >> no. >> what is the -- carrots, is that brain food? >> that's a start. iewn that -- i want thank you all for that. even you, charlie. jackie deangelis with what's coming up on "the big money show" minutes there now. jackie: good afternoon to you, neil. many are saying forget the poll, the only polls that matter are the outcomes of the ones today. americans will speak at the

ballot box, and that will give us a sense of where we're going. we've got bill hemmer helping us break down the races, we've got virginia attorney general to talk about what could happen in that statehouse. but first, more "coast to coast" after this. ♪ there's always gonna be another mountain ♪ with voya, considering all your financial choices together can help you make smarter decisions. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.

♪ ♪ neil: all right, you've heard about the pro-palestinian demonstrations, a lot of them at some of our most prestigious colleges. well, brandeis university being the the first private university to the ban a controversial group, students for justice in palestine, hanks to largely this gentleman's efforts. adamgy let, the president of accuracy in the media -- adam

gillette. very good to have you. so far i think brandeis stands out for doing this, it's the only major one that i know of, but it's a start. what do you think? >> well, i'm for free speech even when it's hateful, even when it's anti-semitic. i think one of the great benefits of free speech is it enables us to know who the hateful anti-semites are, and that's essentially what our campaign is. we are amplifying their message so people can know who the anti-semites are in their community and on their campus. neil: a lot of people feel they have a scarlet letter on them if they did protest, and thousand we're hearing there a lot of alum thigh who graduated from these -- alumni who graduated from those institutions saying we would never hire them in a blue moon, forget about it. is that pair? >> well, i think people should be held accountable for their actions. these bullies don't understand appeasement, they only understand when they're held accountable. and we're not saying don't hire these people per se, we're simply providing them with the

information. we don't go after casual leaders, we don't go after people who were at a protest. we go after people who sign hateful, anti-semitic proclamations and were the leaders of these organizations. and whenever they apologize, or we a take them off our billboards and off our web site. neil: could you explain what you have to endure just raising these issues? you eloquently laid out you're for free speech, you just have to the stand by whatever speech you're freely making. but it's boomeranged on you. >> yeah, that's right. i've had two weeks of threats. i was assaulted at harvard, and i've been swatted now four times. the first time, half a dozen armed offices came into my home. thankfully, or my wife and i were out of state. had we been there and acted the wrong way, we might have been killed. neil: could you explain what swatted means? >> they called local law enforcement in my town and said that i had a gun to my wife's head. neil: i see. >> and half a dozen heavily

armed officers go into your home with rifles. you move the wrong way, and they just might kill you. the second time they said i killed my wife and someone else in our home hawaii's the kind of people we're dealing with. neil: so when there are multiple calls like that, by the third or fourth one do they say, all right, this is not real? or do they have to come? >> they still have to come. now, they haven't asked to go inside for the third or fourth attempt, but they're still on the scene before they even call me and notify me. and i guess that's good. if i call 911, i would still want them to show up. but now they hay be hesitant to do so, so it still puts me in danger. neil: do you explain what's going on here to them, and what do they say? >> oh, that's interesting. what do you do about that, is one thing that an officer asked me recently. i was hoping they might have the answer. it's truly outrageous that we're dealing with this sort of thing in america from people who claim to be the victim. neil: all right. but that's behavior that cannot be tolerated.

that's dangerous. it could lead to a dangerous incident. do you think people who make those calls, it's one thing to have a view, a pro-palestinian view, but another to make calls like that, that's a criminal act. >> in florida they can get 20 years in jail for it. i think the fbi now has a national database that is supposedly going to help resolve this sort of thing. but you're absolutely right. obviously, for me and more anyone else who's experienced this, i would want the weight of law enforcement to trace e these people. i think some of that is happening, but also autoof my own pocket -- out of my own pocket, we're spending a ton of money on legal resources to research it on our own. neil: very scary stuff is. adam does raise a great point, you're free to speak your mind in this country, but you are also free to suffer or the fallout if some people think you've lost your mind in the process. we'll have more after this.
