david: i'm here with eric cantor . you are in virginia as well.e had this election yesterday and i remember people saying that was a moment when we saw virginia changing. is what we saw last night a continuation of that with a different change entirely? how do you process from a cultural perspective what's going on in virginia? eric: everybody is searching for the signals and what happened last night and virginia to try to apply them and project them out to the midterm congressional elections. before you try to do that, i think it's fair to note that there are deeper structural issues in the virginia republican a party that needs to be addressed. our party has not won statewide since 2009. that is quite a long time, eight years since we have actually won. although there is one exception in recent memory, we are countercyclical. country goes republican in the presence of, we will go democratic and vice versa. all that needs to be taken into account and the fact that donald trump did not win virginia. it was the only southern state to go for hillary

>> eric cantor is here >> you got to do it.o vote. >> absolutely. >> we're going to give eric cantor his proper introduction in just a moment >> i told i walked out, and all the workers were there, and i wave, and i said everybody vote, vote early and vote often. they all said yeah, you yeah, yeah >> i'll be back in an hour >>> some political headlines this morning, the washington post reporting that the senate could delay corporate tax cuts until not 2018, 2019 it's a full year later than the house proposed in their version of a tax reform bill the delay could reportedly save $100 billion the wash wash post is also reporting that senate republicans are planning to eliminate the state and local tax deduction entirely when they roll out their version of the says tax bill. we'll see where that lands very soon >> our guest host for the hour, let's welcome eric cantor, former house majority leader who is now vice chairman andm the g of virginia. >> absolutely. not a pretty night last night. >> and you know -- not for gillespie and

beat him in the primary so is republicans laid the groundwork for what they got. >> desjardins: eric cantorin richmond. i want to to you, norm, do democrats have an answer to donald trump? do they have a strong alternative they have presented? >> we believe and we lay out in the book a set of policy prescriptions that could cut across a lot of divides on economics and other areas that democrats, many have put forward, some of them, but there hasn't been as coherent a message and a good part of that to us is it has to be a message to, among others, the working class people of america and families. one of the things we talked about a lot as we were writing the book and e.j. pointed out the marvelous book by the african-american sociologist william julius wilson a long time ago about the decline of the black working class in cities, the problems cut across all of these lines, and if we can find common-sense policies -- and we have some of them, democrats have some of them -- focus on them, then there's a greater opportunity both to bring them together and provide a constructive alternative and

neil: eric cantor, former house majority leader. you ever miss it? >> listen, i still care greatly about our country. you know, i'm at mohler and company now. in the world of markets and private sector and it is gail on in the united states and i do a lot of travel, and very much appreciate what we have in this country. neil: eric cantor, thank you very, very much. >>> ever look what is going on in washington, try to say, where is all the money coming from? furthermore where is all the money going to? leave it to former head of microsoft to say, there is a way to track this. there is kind of like an app for that, after this. i can do more to lower my a1c. and i can do it with what's already within me. because my body can still make its own insulin. and once-weekly trulicity activates my body to release it. trulicity is not insulin. it comes in a once-weekly, truly easy-to-use pen. it works 24/7, and you don't have to see or handle a needle. trulicity is a once-weekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used

move forward is that the rejection of individuals who were seen as the establishment same as when eric cantor was effectively fired we saw that the tribe to this of a wholesale rejection and is many were running at one point we also supported did represent the standard that this was a wholesale rejection of what was seen as a failure of the standard and a message to be sent and this is where the divide is that it's less a rejection of conservatism and for a rejection of those who haven't moved it properly or who haven't say their conservative but where we have seen the next in line, and john mccain, mitt romney, we see the world unfold and the ability also to deal with the world in his new base with electronics, social media, the internet and is that part of the issue and not just media but how you interact on all formats which did very well at in talking to people directly and be able to meet with them which i don't think any of the other standing on the debate stage were able to do with the exception of perhaps carly [inaudible] who was not even able to translate it to the ground. is it abo

. >> shannon: a lot of people say, when you upended the minority leader eric cantor in the primaries,was about immigration. people wanted you to come here i do what you been trying to do. even within the g.o.p., there are disruptions and disagreements about how you get there. i was joking around with you on senator graham before you came on the show to say, hey, we've got two of you here, not exactly in the same page about immigration. how do you get here, within your own party, never last across the aisle? >> you got to listen to the american people. even the democrats -- we have an interesting horse race, ed glaspie is catching the steam at the quick and i think we'll pull out a win. some of it hinges on this issue. the democrats have been doing identity politics, it's just terrific commercials going on in virginia right now. i think there will be a reaction against that. some of it has gotten so bad, the democratic operatives are saying, we got to go more bernie, we got to go back to class warfare. they are probably right on that. if you can get back to economic issues, i will be a

that's how eric cantor got blown out as a republican leader. john banner got sent home.hat's how so many seats were won at the congressional level in the house in congress by conservatives. the conservative movement has really been at war with the republican establishment in this kind of internal civil war for many years. the democrats haven't done it and that set from day one that bernie sanders in the campaign against hillary clinton was really -- the thing was right, you could kind of tell that, but i say it was like a pillow fight. he never really went after her with all the material that was out there about uranium one, and it was in clinton cash. i think you are seeing with the donna brazile revelations, really the beginning of the civil war and the democratic party. >> sean: in the republican party aiming. >> no, in the democratic party. i think that is starting -- i think it started last night. even won election victory in a e state like virginia is not going to be able to gloss over that. i think you will see democrats and the progressive left really go after th

we saw what happened with eric cantor a couple of years ago. that set off a tidal wave. these guys should think these jobs are theirs forever, and leadership's got to produce something, no? >> oh, of course. as we're talking about the strategy of the republican party going forward, i think we've got democrats, and it's not -- [inaudible] charles: guys, thank you very much. meanwhile, facebook's first president actually sounding the alarm on dingal dangers -- digital dangers on society. social media and the internet, particularly for your children. you won't believe this. you will not believe, but you're going to hear his warning next. ♪ ♪ today we're out here to test people's knowledge about type 2 diabetes. so you have type 2 diabetes? yes i do. true or false... type 2 diabetes more than doubles your chance of dying from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or a stroke. that can't be true, can it? actually, it is true. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. in fact, cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death for adults with type 2 diabetes and hea

the political world with your victory over the young lion of the republican party at the time, eric cantorthen those ripples have become waves. you have taken control of it. you understand grassroots politics. and it seems democrats are on their heels? how do you feel about tonight's election? >> it will be a tough one to call. they have a 5-point advantage on the fundamentals. but we have momentum. but there is a huge turnout in the virginia beach area, that's the home of northam. so we'll see whether we can make up for that. we'll have to have a huge showing across central virginia. and northern virginia we'll see what the turnout looks like as the night goes on. charles: can the republican party claim a certain amount of victory because this race is certainly much tighter than anyone thought. northam suggested he would adopt certain republican things like sanctuary city opposition. it feels like this wave has spoken for itself to a certain degree. >> i aguy with you. i -- i i agree with you. i ran on some of those issues. but the left smeared gillespie. keeping the statues up. you know

o'donnell, sharon engle, the bush tax cut failure to pass the extension, the government shutdown, eric cantor'ss, which i kind of remember a little closely, john boehner's retirement. we still have more to go before we finally hit rock bottom, which is crazy when you consider that we have the house, the senate and a majority of governors. but that's the armageddon that we're potentially heading into for next november. >> so, brian fallon, the jeff sessions notion, jeff sessions maybe put him in there as a write-in candidate. the big questions there are, would he do it? could he win? would the president want him to do it? and what would be the implications of that if the attorney won? >> they won. >> donald trump, obviously, the opportunity to pick a new attorney general, one presumably that wouldn't have to be recused from the ongoing mueller investigation. so i think that that prospect is quite dangerous. but i think the idea is not even a sure thing for republicans. because as much name i.d. as jeff sessions does have, anytime you're waging a write-in campaign, running against another republi
