Looking at live. The sarah palin moment happened just about nine minutes ago. Were going to show it to you. She had canceled an appearance earlier after finding out her husband was injured in a snow machine accident, but guess what . She decided to stay with donald trump and appear on the stage. Here is the video just in. She called the media siding with thugs, and she said that it is more important to be with donald trump before going to see her husband. We will get to more details on that. Look, none of this will matter if john kasich cannot win the Buckeye State. He told us right here on the show last month that he would quit the race if he did not win his home state. So weve got Ohio Republican partys chairman coming up to tell us where the Battle Royale in the Buckeye State stands at this very hour. On the democratic side, senator Bernie Sanders riding a wave of enthusiasm hoping for a michiganlike upset in ohio. But with strong performances expected by Hillary Clinton tomorrow in both florida, North Carolina, oh, yes, throw illinois in there too, could this race be all but poafer . Howard gulfman was a former ambassador to belgium. He says hillary will stir up sandersstyle enthusiasm if she becomes the democratic nominee. On wall street youre looking at a green screen here. The dow trading in, basically, the narrowest range of the year. Still up 38 points at this moment ahead of this weeks Federal Reserve decision. Oil sinking but not controlling the market right now. Plus, the Virtual Reality gadget thats got south by southwest all agog. Were going to show it to you live. Were less than an hour to the closing bell, lets start the countdown. Liz yes, it is the big day before major primaries in huge states, but its also the day before the Federal Reserve holds its twoday meeting in washington to mull yet another Interest Rate hike. Fed funds futures pits areing no march betting no march rate hike. The markets hate to make bets in advance of the meeting, so again a narrow trading range. At one point the dow was down as much as 52 points, and then it went up more than 55 points. Right now gains of 39. S p just straddling the flatline here, slightly negative. The nasdaq looks pretty healthy, up eight points. So what is leading at least the turn around for the dow . Boeing, mcdonalds, walt disney. These three names are what pumped the dow up, as we mentioned, to higher than 55 points. Remember, some of these names like boeing and maybe even disney are names that big hedge funds have really wanted to go short on, and that has been a losing bet. Basic materials are one of the leading sectors in the s p 500, the biggest gainers . Freeportmcmoran, mosaic, along with alcoa. And we should also look at another miner that is hitting it out of the park today, cliff Natural Resources. That stock is jumping nearly 15 . This is an Iron Ore Mining company. Theyve got iron ore operations in both minnesota and michigan. The company announced, guess what . It is going to be restarting a mine that had been idled in minnesota. That means more than 500 jobs. Later in the hour a fox business exclusive with the ceo. Hes going to discuss how the company is addressing the demand for iron ore, why are they able to restart this plant and, perhaps most importantly, theyre headquartered in cleveland, ohio, and, of course, tomorrows big primary, where does business want to see this race go . And that to the race for the white house, you can call it the buckeye bash. Ohio voters gearing up to be the center of attention tomorrow. The Republican Voters have four choices in tomorrows crucial winnertakeall president ial primary, but at this hour, folks, it figures to be a twoman battle. Are voters will voters go for john kasich, their popular twoterm governor, or flock to the outsider, billionaire Businessman Donald Trump . Governor kasich locked in an allout dog fight, virtually tied in one poll with the republican primary frontrunner. Earlier today, in fact, just about the last hour, mitt romney campaigned alongside john kasich. The very first time romney has campaigned on behalf of any republican candidate this cycle. And he really came out and said john kasich is the man that should be in washington. But is that enough to halt the trump train . Donald trump, as we mentioned just momented ago, was on stage, and he is addressing the violent protests and growing unrest surrounding his campaign rallies. Heres what he said today. The press are saying, oh, but theres such violence. You know how many people have been hurt at our rallies . I think like, basically, none other than [laughter] i guess, maybe somebody got hit once. But theres no violence. Liz both candidates prepping for their date with destiny in ohio, but the question does remain; will kasich emerge as the leading choice among more moderate republicans bent on denying trump a nomination . Fox business jeff flock on the ground in youngstown, ohio, and we cannot stress enough, jeff, ohio has named every president ial winner for the past 28 out of 30 elections. Reporter a republican has never been elected without winning ohio, liz. And, you know, john kasich, eight in ten gop voters polled think favor write about john kasich. But is that enough . Take a look. Were at the trump rally. Were three hours out, and look at the folks already lining up out here. The question, is there going to be violence . Well, i dont know. Its going to be very hard to get into this unless youre wearing a trump shirt and youre pretending youre a trump guy to sneak your way in, its going to be tough. I dont think were going to face the same sort of thing we faced in chicago. Talk about endorsements. It wasnt quite an endorsement from mitt romney, but maybe the next best thing. But did already donald trump top him . Take a look at this. A baseball signed by pete rose saying he wants donald trump to make America Great again. I dont know if its an endorsement battle in ohio, im guessing rose trumps romney. But we should listen to what mitt romney said so you can judge for yourself. Heres what he said not long ago as he sort of said im in john kasichs corner. You are looking for someone to come to this state, and you did some interviews, and you concluded this was the man you wanted as governor. And the reason was not just did he say the right things, but he had a record. You could look at his resume, so to speak. You could see what hed done. Hed been in washington where he had helped balance the budget and economy began to come back and create jobs for people across the country. And so you said, you know, this guys kind of been there. Liz heres the reporter in a normal liz jeff, weve got the ball. [laughter] reporter oh, you got the ball now . Liz yeah. Signed by disgraced Major League Ball team player and, of course, coach, pete rose. Says, mr. Trump, please make reporter well, kasich does have urban meyer, so were liz yeah. Ohio state. Keep an eye on those lines, definitely. Reporter its quite a night. Liz thank you, jeff flock. Tomorrows other winnertakeall primary is florida. But the latest polls show senator marco rubio trailing donald trump badly in his own state. So as we look at all of this, the significance of who wins florida but more so ohio really cannot be overstated. The last candidate to win the white house without the Buckeye State was john f. Kennedy. That was back in 1960. Leapt us bring in let us bring in the chairman of the Ohio Republican party. Jeff flock said no republican has ever won the white house without ohio. Ohio is that key battleground. Neck and neck, weve showed two polls. Really looks tough to call. Can you, being on the ground there, matt, call it right now . Yeah. Hi, liz, thanks for having me. Yes, i did hear. Thats something we know very well, that no republicans ever gone to the white house without winning ohio, so we better pick a republican who can win ohio, and theres no more popular republican in the state than john kasich. Yes. Hes going to win tomorrow, hell win tuesday, and itll set this election in a much different direction, set it on a new course. Liz how can you be so sure . Again, i dont put a lot of weight in some of these polls. They have been known to be wrong on both sides, more so on the democratic side for some of these where Bernie Sanders has pulled out surprise wins. How are you so sure that its john kasich . I know he is very popular in the state of ohio, and yet donald trump has surprised to the upside many times here. Weve been voting for 28 days here in ohio, thanks to Republican Leadership. We have early voting here in ohio, and weve been chasing absentee ballots, weve been working hard across the state getting the message out, having our surrogates out there and then, of course, our governor has such a terrific record with bringing 415,000 private sector jobs back to the state, inheriting a disaster from Ted Strickland who wants to come back. We need to make sure that doesnt happen. When republicans took over in 2011 and john kasich became governor, he had an 8 billion budget shortfall that he had to fix, now its a 2 billion budget surplus. Liz i agree all these great englishments. Liz we have followed this day by day, year over year because fox business launched in 2010 as the financial crisis happened, so weve watched all of these states. Why doesnt he have a bigger lead in these polls then . Well, obviously, this isnt a race for governor, this is a race for president. And john kasich is winning here. I mean, there have been really no polls recently that have showed him behind. All the most recent polls have showed him either tied or in the lead, and theres two more out today, arg and one from monmouth that show him with pretty goodsized leads. Going into tomorrow we feel pretty confident, about a third of the vote gets disaster before gets cast before election day, i think well have an advantage, and john kasich will end up victorious. He surged at the end in New Hampshire and michigan, and hes doing that here. Liz yes, he did. You end up being pretty confident, and im actually very confident john kasichs going to win tomorrow. Liz what if he does eat away at Donald Trumps delegate count . Then you go to the convention in july which is in cleveland, and it could very well be a brokered convention. We have seen moments of violence throughout the weekend, certainly on friday night when that one event in chicago for donald trump had to be canceled. If that is the case and you do force a brokered convention, are you concerned about these scenes that weve seen of people jumping on stage, weve seen scenes of violence at events like we saw in chicago. How will you as the held of the gop party in ohio handle the security concerns that may prop up in cleveland in july . Well, were so excited about the convention coming to cleveland, and theres been a terrific plan in place already to handle the kinds of crowds and protests and other things that always happen at a convention. So we could have a piece of political history if we have a convention thats contested, and nobodys going to be threatened by the fact that liz i dont want to see anything like that either. But when you have people who call themselves conservative and i stress that, they call themselves conservative. For example, ann coulter who tweeted that shed like to see, quote, a little more violence from trump supporters, i mean, thats got to be frustrating for people who support other candidates who are doing this, you know, by the book. Some would argue its not trumps fault that theres violence. Yeah. The bullying left is really the folks who we dont want to emulate. We never want to be like they are where youre not allowed to have a differing opinion. Try to do that on a College Campus today or anywhere elsewhere the left really tries to bully and yell you down. Thats not the republican way. Thats not what made us republicans and want to, you know, pursue the cause of liberty and the types of things that we do on the republican side of the aisle. So if we get to that point in cleveland, and im hopeful that we dont but if we do and were at the point where we have to settle this at the convention itself, well do it in an orderly way, and our leadership at the rnc prepared to handle this properly, and well do everything we can to help them with john kasichs 66 delegates thatll be there because hell win ohio tomorrow. Liz we shall see. Matt, thanks so much. Thanks so much, liz. Liz matt borges. Were going to discuss the democratic side of this with former ambassador to belgium howard gu,tman in a fox business exclusive. He is going to tell us if Hillary Clinton can overcome the socalled Enthusiasm Gap. Weve got the closing bell ringing in 46 minutes. The dow is now gaining about 46 points. As we mentioned, ohio, key battleground. Its also home to 23 fortune 500 companies. Cliffs Natural Resources is one of them. Theyve been supplying the u. S. Steel industry with iron ore for more than 160 years and, boy, do they have an opinion on whether free trade is something that should be clipped, as donald trump has suggested. Coming up, a fox business exclusive with the chairman and ceo on what he needs to see out of the next president to expand his made in america brand.

Liz 42, call it 42 minutes before the closing bell rings. Its still a mixed picture here, im going to chalk this up to the fact that we have a Federal Reserve meeting that starts tomorrow, ends on wednesday. Well know wednesday that they wont, probably, tighten Interest Rates. But again, market doesnt like to go in long before know what the fed will say about anything. Its the Energy Sector thats the worst performing sector of the s p 500 right now. Specifically, oil and gas companies, theyre getting hit the hardest. Some of the worst performing names, we have marathon, valero, chesapeake, so they are reverting to the mean which is down, down and down. Oil is also lower today. Dont mess with ohio. Were talking about ohio for the next 48 hours because that state has successfully picked the president ial winner 28 out of the last 30 elections. And dont mess with the 23 fortune 500 companies that call ohio home, particularly cliffs Natural Resources which was founded in 1847. The iron ore giant whose product is made in the usa does huge business overseas as well. But breaking news, cliffs Just Announced it will be restarting production at its north shore minnesota iron ore mine in may which had been idled in december due cothe chi due to the china slowdown. Who does ohio business want taking over the Massive Corporation known as the u. S. Of a . Lourenco goncalves joining us, ceo, great to have you here, and congratulations on the news about restarting that plant. How many jobs will that bring back . We are going to bring back 540 jobs in minnesota. Were very pleased with that. Liz i would say, thats excellent. But we need to put this in perspective. 12,000 Steel Workers and mining workers have lost their jobs in america. So as you try and restart that, to what do you attribute this . Is china starting to look better . Well, we are starting to have the reverse of the bad situation that china put us in here in the United States. We need a level playing field. We are finally starting to see some Movement Toward the level playing field. The imports are, steel imports are starting to unside, and we are subside, and we are able to bring back to supply the American Steel mills. Liz donald trump has called for tariffs. He says that we have free trade, but we dont have fair trade. You mostly have your australian mine sending iron ore to china, but what would that do if he clipped on major tariffs for imports from china . How would that affect your business . Well, we need to understand that these tariffs, at the end of the day, will not be a penalty on anyone, especially on the chinese. Keep in mind, china doesnt spend a penny in things that we have to spend money here. I will give an example thats easy to understand. Environmental compli
