chad: we think that colorado is the permian of water. so if you look at how those valuations have gone from $1000 an acre to most recently in the federal sale $75,000 an acre, you can see $50,000 an acre foot being paid for significant water positioning. alix: how do you invest in it? chad: so you can buy water either -- alix: like literally buy water and store it? chad: literally on the surface -- well, storing is a different method. so buying water is the first part. you buy it because it is in an aquifer below the ground, or you buy it when it is above ground in a river. how much you can actually sell or use is the next question. there is also an opportunity to buy water storage. water storage in colorado is a very big issue, particularly with the change of seasons and climate issues. you do not know how much water you're going to have coming off a bad year of skiing or a good year of skiing because of the snow. we're working on storage, we're working on crops, we're working on solar, we're working all different utilizations on top of

chad: we always look for cash shield of 15%. broader because of the lack of availability when the opportunity presents itself as having that. ultimately, you have to have customers, oil producers who need water. when you crack a well it is 90,000 barrels to frack a well. there is a lot of unused resource colorado and drug the west of that could be utilized on revenue basis, storage, transportation. you will see infrastructure builds. you will see water treatment plants. all these things will be done in the private sector. alix: what would be your exit strategy for investment? chad: there are some public companies in the water space, but it is limited. the entire market cap is less than $10 billion. fiber or seven companies. you will look and see that over the next 10 years it is almost going to be like the tech boom and water will be a big driver of that. you saw after 2012 a lot of oil and gas companies go public. private equity dollars poured in from resources at the bottom of the forward curve. you will see private equity pla

challenges in the eight sector in chad are driving more refugee families to return to darfur many are now back in the villages they fled when the worst started but after living as refugees for more than a decade settling back into their old lives is not easy the governments of sudan and chad and the un refugee agency came to an agreement on repatriation but aid agencies say there are many issues that need to be addressed but the key the key issue is. this loss. and the lack of access to basic services and the prospects for social economic integration if these are not addressed then return names have significant obstacles to be able to have the ability to rebuild their lives in a job or way local authorities say they're working to address those obstacles and provide land for those who lost what they once had. or that they're not allowed. we have a name bush is playing to provide services to those who have returned to their villages we have located three thousand plots of land for the return of these and we'll build seem to to provide them with health services educational services econo

so we had to sneak in through neighboring chad. i was working with -- in 2004. we flew into chad and then we walked across the desert through rivers for about a mile and a half into waking up with the rebels. there was the only way to cover what was happening at the time. the government was palming its own people. at one point, the president of sudan said there was no government soldiers killed in this ambush. we heard that there were and so we went to the water at this.not, i was working with lidia. we went to the border between chad and sudan and said, did this really happened? they said, yes. government soldiers bodies everywhere. we said, can you take us? they said, it's really dangerous because there are government aircraft flying overhead. we said, it's the new york times. we have to see it to report on it. so they said, okay. we jumped the back of the pickup truck and drove for about 15 minutes. there were bodies everywhere. so this was on the front page in the new york times. president this year, couldn't deny what had happened. for me, this image is ver

back to you. >> chad, thanks. i appreciate it. chad myers. traditionally speaking, bad weather helps republicans. we spoke to robby and matt, they say it could hurt the republicans. >> also it is happening in florida. they told us to watch it closely. >>> it is election day. we are done with the polls and projections. some numbers tonight could decide whose campaign is a session -- is a success. we have john avlon with us. >> berman, it is election day in america. after you go out and vote, keep an eye on the results. always the thing we have here is the number 37. average number of house seats where the president's party loe loses if he is below 50% approval. he is way below 50%. democrats need 23 seats to gain control of the house. on the plus side for the president, unemployment at a near 50-year low. it could be a tsunami wave of an election. that is looking unlikely. next up is ten. the senate seats democrats are defending that trump won in 2016. they are trying to flip arizona, texas and tennessee. the balance of power for republicans w

chads, anti-manual vision. we have scantron's and bubbling. there is much less ability for ability formulation. i have to tell you i'm convinced that once this is done, the result we had on tuesday night will stand. >> laura: sherry, let's go to you. palm beach county -- elizabeth, let's go to you. susan bucher who is the election supervisors there said the following about the thursday 3:00 p.m. deadline. this is palm beach county. she said our equipment is not designed to meet the deadline and we been complaining to the state for almost ten years and they never extended the deadline. we will give it our best shot effort but what we need to do is machine recount all of our ballots to find the over and under votes. and then she said she didn't know whether she thought they would miss the deadline or not. again, same question we are asking about palm beach county. the money they poured into the electoral process in florida, yet we are still back with the machines are still not good enough. i find this whole thing

with the same message that is no good anonymous also say that they obtained a screenshot of the what chad very bluntly named know how to draw banners and apparently that chad coordinated in that chant coordinated all the sort of p.r. activities even if i may say so so what the spanish class this is this is the charge what they're saying is powerful people within the ruling socialist party are making pressure to stop this to stop the nomination of federal banus so effectively what the what the u.k. tried doing the tried convincing the spanish prime minister. was no good he was to progression and that public opinion was against him the very public opinion the themselves created the themselves tailored to how the wanted and so and guess what they succeeded because some fifty days into the nomination process the spanish prime minister decided to appoint a nother person to take up the job so really you have the u.k. doing a convert operation in spain to prevent the leader of the country from appointing who he wants to become the head of the department of national of homeland security so if tha
