Money. Hyou can tweet me ali velshi and facebook. Com will be al ali velshi. Eric cantor goes down in history for think he is oars who think they hold bigger solutions, the rides of the tea party with its no holds barred platforms, well, that leaves very little room for compromise when it comes to political sixes political. The mad jockeying has begun. Cantor said he would step down from his leadership position next month. The frontrunner expected to replace him is Kevin Mccarthy from california. Pete sessions from texas, the current chair of the House Rules Committee is also said to want cantors position. But all of this jockeying will ensue that nothing gets done in congress for the next little while. Meanwhile in other races across the country longtime established republican figures are feeling the wrath of the tea party. Senator thad co cochrane will face a run off next month. And whats not clear is the future of the Republican Party itself and by extension of american politics. Cantors surprise defeat does not signal a full on tea party takeover. Many sailed through thinks primaries. What cantors defeat shows House Republican also have a harder go compromising with democrats on crucial legislation that is opposed by tea party diehards like highway funding, Immigration Reform, immigration is especially important to some big business donors. They want visa restrictions eased on skilled foreign workers. They support a Guest Worker Program that benefits agriculture. The Tea Party Supporters hate both ideas. Eric cantor raised lots of money from his donors, outspending his opponent by a ratio of 251 during the primary. Eric cantor is a great guy. And i feel for him. I think everybody is trying to speculate why you called it an earthquake and it was spot on. Why did this earthquake happen. There are a lot of stories. Some are really bad for republicans, some are bad for democrats. It could be what happened all the Obama Scandals have gotten so outrageous to americans that any republican that looks like hes conciliatory towards the white house becomes taboo. About 12 of the electorate showed up. 12 of the people who could have voted. The winner got 6 and the bottom line these are the folks that come in to primaries. Reporter the fact that he did that was a dark stain on his voters. If thats true, basically Immigration Reform is dead not only for this year but for a good long time i. It didnt have a lot of wind sails, but it did look like it might have worked. Theyre just going to tune in around election time and say where do republicans stand on immigration. You cant determine that right now. Reporter most people think its completely indefensible for kids who grew up in the u. S. To make them go home, evict them from the United States. Yet if were kind to those people maybe more illegals come. Its a really, really difficult problem to think about what the right thing to do. The politicians are not really during a political discourse, i dont think theyre ever going to solve that logically. Theyre just going to find some space to occupy. If i were advising republican candidate given to what happened to mr. Cantor i will say just be very tough on the borders and talk about Legal Immigration as much as you can. As you and i talked about before, as lyle immigration expands thats great for the economy. By tying illegal and legal together you basically end up in a space where mr. Cantor found himself last night. It sounds like one is talking out both sides of the mouth when they do it that way. You mentioned you dont think were going to sort out immigration any time soon. But when it tomorrows to americans right now what would you advise that the Republican Party is able to present to americans saying heres why were a better choice. On what topics do you think it matters . Reporter as you know my number one topic, which gosh it seems that president obama agrees with me is the Corporate Tax. Every state knows if there is a bmw plan deciding whether its going to locate here or there, its good for the state to get them to locate in the states. Yet the United States federal policy does not think that way. All of our multi nationals. We attack the people who create jobs. President obama has wanted war with those guys. All of these guys saw this massive tax hike in the last year, and i think if you look at Small Business in job creation data then you can see the impact of those taxes. We need to look at how to make People Better off. The man who beat eric cantor represents a group within the Republican Party that doesnt want to extend the authorization for the Expert Import Bank which allows financing of American Companies to do business around the world. Hes right about that one. The Expert Import Bank, were subsidizing our experts. Thats bad trade policy. That pretty much every economist would probably agree that the Expert Import Bank should be shut down. There are some arguments that maybe you could use for Foreign Policy purposes. If the Export Import Bank were used to build gas facilitie facilities in Eastern Europe to free them from the yoke of russia, that might be something you might be able to defend. But thats not how they work. The import export bank is not something that conservatives should be that dividedden. Are you worried . Is this an oneoff event. Its a big deal because its eric cantor a majority leader, and thats never happened before, or are yo. In terms of american politician as with American Economy the way we move towards good. To have asserts incumbent its the sign of a healthy system. The ideas that work the best to fix our country tends to be the idea that American People circle around and support and the republicans have not done a good job of appealing to the average american. So if there are a bunch of newcomers coming in, bringing in new arguments and theyre having political success, its a hopeful sign for the party. The old team was not exactly hitting the ball out of the bark. I think you put lipstick on a pig. I wasnt trying to. I appreciate the insight. You certainly have a lot of it given your experience in politics. Kevin hassett, director of economic policies at the American Enterprise institute.

Tonight were waiting for the results of a vote by subway workers in sao paulo about whether to resume a strike that could disrupt travel in the countrys largest city and the site of that first game. Thats just one sign of the discontent that is engulfed a country whose economy had been the envy of many other nations. But in the last few years growth in brazil has slowed. Inflation has kicked up. Brazilians have grown increasingly dissatisfied with their leaders. Harry snow has got that story. During the world cup behind the scenes this emerging economy, the largest in latin america face as growing list of challenges.

And People Living in extreme poverty just 1. 25 a day has fallen from 10 in 2004 to just 2. 2 in 2009.
