down today the dow stayed up and up 60 points as we count down to your world with neil cavuto and rand paul on the tight race in kentucky and all the updates from coast to coast from our correspondent and analyst. have a great afternoon. >>neil: two hours two guys who come to symbolize the tea party. is it their night? rand paul and mark rubio. they are here. now. welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto, t minus two hours and counting. that when the first polls closed in kentucky, a state that could determine how this night goes for democrats. or maybe doesn't go. rand paul a tea party favorite trying to defeat jack conway for

a key senate seat and in florida rubio is becoming a rock star in the race for senate with more than 100 media outlets covering and he is only talking to one ahead of the results because mark rubio is here and only here. to nevada, an explosive allegation today, the law may have been violated in getting casino workers to the poll. we are following this closely. and a live report coming up. it is also a state are worries about jobs has reid struggling to keep his and home depot founder often ways to get the jobs back and in california, two form c.e.o.'s are trying to trump washington insiders, so, we thought we would talk to the real trump because donald trump who some say is looking at

higher sights. we have called rand opponent's repeat through but we have yet to hear back. rand paul, good to have you. polls are one thing, and the actual vote that matters. but for someone would not that many months ago was considered an outside shot, if not a laughingstock, it could be a very, very different picture. if you are elected tonight, rand, what is the first thing you want to do? >>guest: i will set my sights low and have balanced budget amendment passed the first couple of months. >>neil: what about choose your leader? would it be mcconnell? >>guest: i think he will be the leader of the republican caucus but i think the republican caucus will be per unified in wanting smaller

government than they have ever been and the tea party is shaping the debate without the election over yet already we are driving the republican party and those in the republican party to be more true to their roots and true to their platform. >>neil: when you think mcconnell will be leader, are you going to vote for him to be leader? >>guest: yes, there is no opposition to accept mcconnell el and he has done a good job keeping people unified and opposing the president's agenda and i see no change in the offing and i have heard no one considering running at this point. >>neil: it is a turn from events. he supported your republican opponent in the primary battle and he has gone over to you, been very aggressive supporter, so, bygones are bygones? >>guest: primaries are about dividing people and general elections are about bringing people together and not only do we have a unified republican

party we are getting a third of the democrat vote so, in kentucky, really, to win election is about getting all the republican vote and getting the conservative democrats to come your way, too. but it is about a reform message and i am not giving up on the reform message but i am going to washington simply because i do think washington is broken, and i think we do have to have a balanced budget amendment and i think we should talk about why we should not have unelected bureaucrats making law. there are a lot of reforms that have to occur and i think they need to be structural reforms. i am not going to washington to win one vote or to overturn one vote i am going to washington to have some rules enforced that will make them balance a budget. >>neil: you are probably one of the tea party's stellar examples, they point to you, and with a victory tonight they will break about you but they are going to be looking to you to shake things up in washington. would you be on board regular

votes as some have advocates with a democratic president to repeal the health care law? >>guest: yes, i think we went the wrong direction. i will introduce and support repeal. we do need to repeal the health care bill, start over, and we went in the wrong direction, we went in the direction that government was the answer and i go in the direction of believing in capitalism and competition. >>neil: you are on board, as well, both the senate and the republican leaders in the house have talked about returning us to 2008 spending levels, but is that enough? we were busting the budget then, too. >>guest: that is not enough. we have to go beyond that and i think that would be a token change and will not do much to balance the budget. we really need to look at the whole length and breadth of the budget and i think there has to be a compromise between conservatives and liberals. there are some liberals would do

believe the deficits are wrong and they would say, well, we will cut the military budget but they don't want to cut the domestic budget. there are some good republicans who say cut the domestic budget did you but do not touch the military budget. the compromise if you believe in balancing the budget is look at the budget in totality, at every nuclear and cranny of the budget and you have to say where can we look for waste, fraud and abuse and overspending in every facet of the budget. my dad and i talk about policy in general and he has been very helpful to me in getting things off the ground and started but, really, we don't talk about the day-to-day detail of what we are doing with the campaign. but, we talk periodically about policy, things that are interesting in the news, that kind of thing. >>neil: you never say, dad, if i am a senator, you are a

representative. >>guest: no, the only thing we have said in passing would be that if i should win tonight, that i would like to have a joint party when they do the swearing in, in january, that's still yet to be determined but i think that would be a lot fun to have a egypt swearing if party. >>neil: i think they could swing that. we will want you closely. >>guest: thank you. >>neil: 37 governor seats are in play and 11 are considered toss up. how many could go red? the chairman of the republican governor's associations will be joining me live on special election coverage. what do you expect? >>guest: we will pick up governorships and it is likely republicans will win a majority in the house and i think there will be a big gain in the

senate. it is harder to get to a majority this but i think they will be way up in the 40's and the upper 40's, and when you see people like rand paul who you just interviewed, just total common sense, the left wants to demonize that kind of plain talk. we will win because the public knows better. >>neil: if you have the success many expect you will with republican governors getting elected particularly in states like ohio and michigan and wisconsin people will look at you and say, maybe that guy should run for president. >>guest: well, right now, let's let them look between now and when the polls close. let's be sure we elect republican governors in pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, illinois, iowa, florida, california. massachusetts, even. >>neil: you think

massachusetts could be in play? >>guest: i sure do. >>neil: i mentioned the president am thing, governor, because there are rumors, and i want you do address them, the part powers that be, i don't know who they are, have been urging you, maybe, to take over the renl -- republican national committee and not run for president; that true? >>guest: no, it is not. there was a story yesterday that was going around that there was some sort of senior republican leaders that were work against michael steele and i have not her that. and they were working against sarah palin running for president. i don't believe that, either. i don't know what sarah palin will do but they will decide about running for president. not somebody else. and i think the vast majority of

republicans will wait-and-see what she decides to do. >>neil: i am not asking about her but about you and the story they would rather have you run the republican national committee and not michael steele? >>guest: in order to be chainl of the rnc i would have to step down as governor under mississippi law which i am not going to do. there is in question about that. as to what coulds next if my -- in my rear? i promised i would have my focus on this, and we cannot wait until 2012 to take our country back. we have to start today. now that this is about to be over, my family and others will it is down and see if there is anything to think about for something else, but not the rnc chairmanship i would not give up the governorship of mississippi to go back to do that. >>neil: should michael steele keep that job? does he deserve that job? >>guest: that is up to the committee.

i will say this time, the rnc was not able to do what they have often done in the past, and the governor's association, the senate, and the house campaign committee and others had to scramble around and increase their gathering of resources beyond what normally would be the case because the rnc was not able to do what it had done in the past. >>neil: interesting. that seems to be your way of saying maybe not michael steele. >>guest: well, you know, you could infer and i am not trying to imply. >>neil: i understand. i understand. good luck tonight thank you very much. ahead of the democratic governor's association well be joining my special coverage on the fox business network as will sarah palin.

>>neil: the scene in florida at rubio's election spot, and a double digit lead and rubio is coming up, but, first, c.e.o.'s trying to trump politicians and why donald trump is watching one imposely. trump. here. next.

story. what can you tell us? >>reporter: the story stated there has been internal effort by executives at the casino to pressure middle management to encourage and pressure employees to get out to the polls during early voting last week and one e-mail in particular was forwarded from on high showed correspondence with the reid campaign directly and talked about the crucial effort to strike to -- try to get the employees out for reid. >> what was the tone of it? >>reporter: the tone as it was handed down the line appeared to be more encouraging employees to vote opposed to pressuring them. however, it was telling in one e-mail trail there was a list distributed of employees in each department and the supervisors were asked to individually speak with their employees about

whether or not they had voted, find out why they had not voted and to report that information back on up the chain. >>neil: how high up did this go? >>reporter: the top level executives were on the e-mail and the las vegas president and the president regional for the corporate ahead, and executives if las vegas. >>neil: we have not heard back from them but we heard back from reid's office and i quote, "this report by a white wing blogger embedded when the sharron angle campaign with no credibility on its pace and i am not sure what e-mail this blogger references." but the casino employees support his re-election from the communications director for reid. your reaction? >>reporter: if that is a reid spokesman to spin this for the

campaign he works for and i am a conservative blogger but i run a news bureau in nevada and work for the abc affiliate and i am a political reporter and i think the mails speak for themselves and nearly every executive in las vegas at the top levels were involved in the situation and they were clearly coordinating internally to push their managers to get their employees out to the polls and i don't think anything illegal or unethical was done here it is very interesting the length to which they were going to turn out the vote in combination with the fact in was direct communication going on with the reid campaign. >>neil: maybe we can get the e-mails on our website, but they are legitimate, that part is legitimate? >>reporter: they were the, it was forwarded to me by an employee who asked to remain unnamed because of fear of

retribution but they were forwarded and i verified the source at length and i am confident they are verifiable. shell -- >>neil: the question is? they are legal, or just, you know, kind of weird, but we will put them up there on our website. in california the senate race there is so tight the decision on the race may not be known for days. all mail in ballots must be counted and boxer is facing carly fiorino. and donald trump has been considering maybe going higher, the organization's c.e.o. is joining me. can you hear me donald? well, we might have lost him. but, you are good, can you hear

me? >>guest: i can hear you. >>neil: this could be a rough night, and it could change, why do you think that is? >>guest: i think that we will have a tremendous night, an amazing night for watching television, first of all. this is probably going to be unprecedented what is going to happen. some of the crow's -- c.e.o.'s could have a hard time, whitman and fiorino could be in trouble both. >>neil: are you concerned, in whit map's case, she spent so much money on the case, it could be close to $180 million and she is a billionaire, it is her money, and when the business person is unknown to the public, you have to spend for name recognition, and bloomburg tried it but he was elected and is well regarded and whitman may not get the chance.

what works? >>guest: you never know. someone spends money like bloomberg who people like and he is elects and someone else spends a tremendous amount of money and is not elected because maybe they have the money but not the right kremlin -- the right chemistry. i have heard in the whitman case and i have a lot of property in california but i hear the ads were really, really over and over and over and over again. sometimes you can have too much advertising. maybe that is what has happened. >>neil: we just don't know, but the moment you will has been in her favor. and the question that has been raised about you and we have chatted about it, you poll in some surveys very well if you were to run for president

yourself. is that something you dabbed with a few years ago. are you serious? would you look at the business types and how they do? they do not do well you will pull back? >>guest: i poll well as you know because i am such a nice person. >>neil: the chinese and opec might differ. >>guest: the chinese, i don't really care what they think, that is the difference. our politicians are more concerned about china than the americans so that is a problem we have. and they are more concerned with how they are viewed by opec with how they are viewed by people in iowa and that is possibly the problem this country has because someone asked me, what is the biggest problem? jobs. well, how do you get jobs pack? i said take them away from china because china is taking our jobs and reare -- we are rebuilding china. with all of the races i watch i don't hear people talking about

this. you cannot create jobs. if china and other countries are creating all of our product, and making all of our product, we do not make things anymore. >>neil: that is a good platform? >>guest: that is not the question, i wish someone would take that. they talk about jobs. jobs are in china. losed the whole mexico. town in iowa, they moved to mexico. they moved the jobs. it was on "60 minutes," most of the jobs moved to mexico. and now iowa is in big, big trouble. no one says it is incredible. but maytag moved most of the jobs to mexico. by the way, they got incentive from our country to do it. you figure that one out. >>neil: donald trump, we will watch closely. thank you. meanwhile a look at senator

reid's headquarters in las vegas sharron angle is trying to put the majority leader out of his job. nevada has the highest jobless rate in america, five months running, and my next guest knows a thing or two about creating jobs and he wonders whether he could have start his own, the guy who found home depot. good to see you. >>guest: nice to see you. >>neil: what do you think of the environment? starting what you did would that be difficult? >>guest: it would be impossible. because of the regulations. the issue of angel money where unless you have a certain net worth you cannot invest in a start-up. each regional investor in home depot would not qualify today because of the regulation. >>neil: and the regulation, a certain net worth going in. >>guest: we didn't raise lots of money, we raised, the biggest amount from one person was $100

,000 and including some $25,000 and $50,000 but it added up and it worked out. but there are so many things that have changed and we want to stimulate growth and make sure we encourage, i tell young people all the time, at the end of the day the opportunities in america have infer been -- never been better but the challenge is to do it in a way that makes sense and you can have a serious business and i am worried the attitude toward government, my government toward business is not healthy. >>neil: maybe that changes after tonight. if you are president obama and you are advising him, and he is humbled whether the republicans make significant gains or take over one or both houses of congress, what would you tell him as a business. >>guest: i would not trillion him anything, i think he is a true believer in what he is

doing, and i think don't bother him with the facts. what i would do is say to the republic leaders we have control of the house of representatives get all the newly elected people, invite all the democrats to come, get 150 or 200 of the smartest most successful businessmen in america and get them in a room and say, guys, you government guys, have the business people tell you what needs to be done. one example: a company in north carolina spins 60 percent of the cotton yarn used in america, a private company. the government passed a regulation allowing four cents a pound if you would spend that money on capital spending. that company has created more than 1,000 jobs in the last two years and we have trillions of dollars of american company money overseas, give them a

break. bring the money in at 10 percent but everything left of the 90 percent has to go to capital investment, job creation will follow capital investment. >>neil: so a carry rot -- so a carrot and stick approach. and just lower corporate taxes, period. >>guest: the problem with lowering taxes, for me or people like me, it sounds like we are self-ish. we're in it for our gain. i like the idea better of saying, you have that money. it's yours. in some cases it will be a sacrifice. one of our companies has a substantial sum of money in brazil. we are making 8 percent on that money in brazil.

so if companies are encouraged, and we are talking trillions of dollars. >>neil: an incentive for business. but would you change the rhetoric, the fat cat stuff, the greedy stuff. >>guest: no matter what i say or what i do, they will look and say though see it differently. my feeling about the white house, i think the white house is a government out-of-control. truthfully. i think what they did with health care knowing that it was not popular, knowing that there was a tremendous resistance base and they still went ahead with it. not just go ahead but at the expense and sacrifice of job creation, if i was the president, a year ago i said what is my most critical need right plow and that is creating jobs. and that's what the focus should be. >>neil: thank you very, very much, and this gentleman was nice enough to be one of the big

names starting in 90 minutes, former car czar and joe miller, and imus, and all joining us for nonstop coverage and ken promoted this for us which we love. media members from around the world are flocking to rubio headquarters in florida, a three-way race but rubio is getting the rock star treatment. he is next. hi.

>>neil: in florida a media frenzy covering mark rubio in florida, with more than 100 media outlets covering the senate candidate, three are running. but the media running to rubio. and huge pressure. first on fox, he joins us from miami. we have called the two opponents and we have not heard back. this could be a big night for you or a very bad night for you. the polls indicate the former. how are you feeling right now? >>guest: we feel good. we have run a campaign we are proud of. we started with a solid set of principles and ideas, 18 or 20 months ago. our message hasn't changed. it is what i believe in. so tonight we will have the cull

culmination and in florida the choice is clear, do you want someone to stand up for the agenda in washington and offer an alternate, i will win. and if that is what you want, we will be successful. i can't wait to see how it towns out. >>neil: you are a young guy, you are relatively new media sensation, and i was reading the list of countries and press that are at your event, the congo, and i am thinking, congo, what the heck are they doing? and around the world. that's pretty heady stuff. >>guest: it is flattering but this is an interesting race and it is geographically located in a place that has international flare and it is flattering but if i am elected the only thing i win is the privilege to serve the people of florida in the united states senate and to do so if a way that is true to the things i ran on and i don't lose myself in the city, or lose myself when i go do washington and become like everyone else,

all you win in appear election is the privilege to serve and i know that now and i will know that if god willing we win tonight. >>neil: but republicans are mentioning you as a very attractive vice presidential pick, even a presidential candidate. do you have an interest in either >>guest: that is just part of the game people have with speculation. but politics is full of one hit wonders of people that were on everyone's lips but that is not excites us, what excites us is an opportunity to serve is the such an important time and be able to be a voice on behalf of what makes america exceptional and unique and different, and god willing tonight we will get a chance to serve in the u.s. senate and it will be an extraordinary privilege. >>neil: the next republican president am nominee will knock on your day and say i would like you to be my running mate you would say no?

>>guest: that is not in our future, i don't think, and i am looking forward to serving in the senate. >>neil: what do you make of the fact that for republicans you could be a shining example of reaching out to latinos, a group that on the national level, they have lost? what does your potential election mean about getting that latino base. >>guest: let me tell you the most important issue in the hispanic community and that economic imow we arement the desire to leave their children better off than themselves. it is why people come to this country. they want their children to have the chance to have dreams they could not have. it is the issue in hispanic communities across america. there is only one economic system in the world where that dream is possible time and again and that is the american free enterprise system and we have to make that case, we have to make the case that big government,

big government doesn't hurt the people would made it it hurts the people who are trying to make it, the worker who is trying to become the owner, it hurts the employee who is trying to become the employer, and we need to make a case that the american free enterprise system is the best economic system in the world for people who are trying to provide a better future for their children and their families. >>neil: i think of you and rand paul and sharron angle and should you guys be successful tonight and that cover of time magazine you are sort of like the tea party renegades and you do not strike me at "process" folks but you come to washington it is about "process." i wonder whether you could get into process and accept, you know, senator rubio, this is how we do thingss here. how do you handle that? >>guest: well the truth the campaign began early on by

taking on all of the established conventional wisdom of what politics is. i got in the race and i was doled you do not have the polling numbers and you cannot race the money to win but we live in a republic where people decide who the representatives are, not pollsters or fundraisers or party bosses. i am proud to be a republican, the home of conservatives but there are big gapes and republicans should not think this is an embrace of the republican party but a second chance for the republican party to do what it claims to be, home of the limited government conservative movement in america, the center right coalition that believes in free enterprise and freedom and liberty and what made america great and i low pressure i can be part -- i hope i can be part of that. >>neil: if they do not take up your challenge, then what? >>guest: if the republican party is not about ideas and principles that speak to people

in the real world and real life we will be on the other end of the pendulum because neither party figures it out. >>neil: we will watch closely. i have were joined the interviews. mark rubio, in florida. thank you. inside and on the hunt for voters, live at the white house, president obama is tweeting and telephoni to get out the youth vote and the radio interview airing this morning across key election markets and my next guest is not convinced this will work. and he is a democrat. former virginia governor wilder. what is happening? >>guest: good to inwith you. as we have discussed it, i have discussed it with others, as well, a question of what has happened in terms of the policies and the message.

and when the president says to people, we have done more than you know, then the question becomes, then, what is it that we don't know? and why is it that we don't know it if you have done it. it is a big question as to who is advising the president. who is handling the messaging. or who is in a position of putting out the propaganda associated with the message. you have heard me say on a number of occasions, i think that the president needs a better group of advisers around him because a lot of people are still thinking and waiting to see that hope and that exchange of hope and promise comes to fruition as was made in 2008 election. >>neil: but it is the youth that perhaps is the strong of the base in the last election and they are the most

frustrated. that's a core constituency that he needs again. can he get it back? >>guest: i don't disagree with you on that. i teach a course here at the university and a subject is public policy challenges. we use as one of our books, the game change and i pointed out to them the criticism that was leveled at the white house by one of the authors of the book and you would be surprised at the answers that were given by my students who for the most part were democrats, for the most part of young, they are very young, and, yet, they don't see this transformation of intou have people carrying on the message that the heavy lifting is over, stop whining, and people are still without jobs, i have heard people say on your show today, and done trump was

correct in terms of jobs, jobs, jobs, the number one priority, the number two priority, and the number three priority. >>neil: you thing the administration was distracted and did this other stuff that would have been important but was not vital at the time? >>guest: too much was on the plate and getting back to turning out the youth vote if he thought it was important, why didn't you do something about it as the polls were telling you way ahead of election day? i come from the old school which tells me on election day the election is over. the people have made up their mine. >>neil: that is a have found point and brings up the other point, if all the polls and all the senate and the rallies and the surprising elections with scott brown in massachusetts and new jersey governor republican, and virginia going republican, it leads me to believe that maybe president obama won't change tomorrow.

>>guest: well, tomorrow he has to containing. and -- he has to change and admit that maybe he promised too much. i pledge, however, to spend the rest of my time working for americans, uniting, to bring forth republicans, independents and woman ever i -- and whoever i can come into contact with. republicans were shocked when i said i want you to ten me because we have a 2.3 to --. >>neil: and they thought you were nuts and you were negotiable nut. >>guest: i had to fight my own party. i had to fight my own party. >>neil: i remember well. >>guest: and on our ballot the question as to whether they should allow more money to be put in the reserve fund i put in virginia. so, president has to understand that the young people did not just start being disenchanted they needed to have been spoken

to and reached out for, some time earlier than the campaign. >>neil: governor, love having you on and love you will be on fox business network tonight. i said it before guys, if not for that gentleman we would not have president obama in the white house, so you can love him, or you can strongly dislike him. >>guest: you have said that many times.7sñmhñpv?ñw=@ñpyñ; ♪ i love my grandma.
