surprised the world. with the democrats looking desperate the stage was set for a big day and that is what we have. stocks. in a moment the cheapest gas in the country. "varney and company" is about to begin. will you look at this? that is a rally? up 167 points, record territory, triple digit gains for the dow, look at it go. 17,362. better yet, eight of the dow 30 stocks are hitting new highs today. not just of. disney, home depot, 3 m, 19 now move on, procter and gamble, united health, visa, wide range of stocks, all of them up today, those stocks at record highs but those individuals stocks every sector in the green this friday

morning. japan prints, stocks of the blues look what is happening to gold, $34 lower, gold is off 13% from its 52 week high. look at go pro, a big winner today, strong sales, good profits, stock is up 13%. let's get to a boil. earlier it broke below $80 a barrel and is there now. $79.79. the gas price declines, gas is falling one cent a day for a month. that is the huge decline. national average for regular is exactly $3 per gallon. not bad. let's bring in patrick from gasbuddy.com. he tells you where to find the cheapest gas anywhere near you. you are a big part of the store. congratulations, young man. you have got to tell the world where is the cheapest gas in the united states of america right now?

>> i will keep going with a happy guy. i am dressed the same but i am happy guy today. that is my halloween costume. $2.29 a gallon in spring, texas. stuart: that has been the lowest price destination. rite-aid trying to get on the show on a regular basis? are they advertising? >> the secret is out of the bag. they must be watching the show. stuart: that is $2.29 for cash in texas right now. we had a decline of about $0.01 a gallon today for 30 straight days, about a month. does that pace of decline, $0.01 down day does that continue in the near future? >> probably slows down a bit. the last two days we have eagerly been awaiting the national average to fall under $3. it took a tenth of a penny down whereas $3.05, a kid hitting

refresh on my browser today. that is what i will be doing the rest of the day waiting for it to happen. stuart: what about california. we have got their average in the state of california for regular, $3.33, that 10% above the national average, why california? >> california is special. the whole west coast. california has the nation's eyes gasoline taxes so it is no mystery prices are always high in california because of that. stuart: all the cheap states, cheap gas states are concentrated in the south. all grouped in the southern part of the country. why is that? >> because they want me to go on vacation down there. it is because the lowest gasoline tax is always in the south. bernard: what are you making money? does gasbuddy.com do well when prices are falling? >> i'm here, i am not on vacation. stuart: don't avoid the

question. when you started to come on the program you were wearing a shirt, no tie and cut off shore. it is a la $3,000 tie. west of the news and good. stuart: the economy is coming back. stuart: one last one. we are going to hit $2.95 as a national average. what do you think? >> you are really pushing me here. i said $3 but that was not good enough for you. closing under $80, and if it doesn't we might have to wait a little. stuart: thanks very much for joining us. to the markets because we had something to tell you is a rally, 168 points. mary kissel is here, wall street journal editorial board, i don't want it to be a technical question but a lot of viewers

want to know why is it japan prints money, and our stock market goes up. what is the connection. >> the money is going to invest to it because there's nothing to invest in. it really is that simple. stuart: they create a lot of money and it comes here. >> japan is the poster child for quantitative easing. central banks to push money into private banks and they will blend that out and hopefully stimulate consumption but it doesn't work. japan has been doing this for two decades now. ben bernanke and janet yellen did it in the united states and it doesn't work because if people don't want to borrow or spend money, don't have the confidence to go out and invest and spend or take risks in the economy, you can push all the money went in the banks and won't do any good. stuart: japan has a demographic problem. >> japan has a lot of problems,

the labor market problem, a ton of problems but in terms of quantitative easing this is desperation out of tokyo. this is saying reforms are not working so let's try the same old sales policies that didn't work in the past. bernard: network for wall street. >> work for wall street for now. stuart: when it comes our way we will take it. the dow record territory, 17,368. it is fair despite the fact that this is still october and october is supposed to be stocks generally. if you watch "varney and company" at the beginning of this month you would have heard this. >> october has the distinction because of the top ten biggest one day losses four occur in october. october has not been the worst month. the 1-2 punch has been mind-boggling, great for the stock market. stuart: he went on to say it is

gangbusters. that is house stocks go up in november and december, gangbusters. that man right there, tres knippa is in chicago. in normally wears a trader's outfit so he is dressed up as tres knippa and the tv kind of guy. market stocks have nowhere to go but up. when japan prince everybody is printing. >> it is time for stock investors to lighten the load and time to do it right now and the reason i say that is crude-oil scares me to pieces. every morning i get updates from various brokerage houses but i do business with and as i look at those reports, what do they all say? economy slowing here, there, slowing in europe, etc.. that is evidence in the crude-oil price. the other thing that scares me about crew is crude-oil companies are a very big part of the high-yield debt market. you talked on your show, there

are a lot of people talking about the bobble in high-yield, and if these oil companies and the high-yield debt market is under pressure, we better be careful. it is this slowing global economy and crude oil prices are not good for equities. stuart: we hear you. what about gold? weighed down again, $34 lower. why is gold down so much? >> there is an interesting story here. one single macro economic thing could hurt the united states and hurt investors more than anything. that is a strong dollar. the yen falling off the end of the table. your previous commentator i couldn't agree more with what she says. i manage a fund with a leveraged position in the yen and japanese government bonds of course i agree. what does a strong dollar do?

50% of the s&p earnings come from overseas. it hurts gold prices and crude-oil prices. the biggest risk we face is a strong dollar so let's flip the card back to janet yellen. the dollar is too strong. what is her next move? rates are already at zero. how do you we can win all the other currencies are weakening around us how the weaken the dollar? there are risks out there. it is time to lighten the load in stocks. stuart: what a does kill you are, tres knippa. moaning about a strong dollar, this is the united states of america, you don't like a strong dollar. get back into your halloween costume and we will see you next week. mary kissel still shaking her head. >> will want a strong and stable dollar. when guys like this argue for a weak dollar they are saying we want to artificially boost exports but that is the same argument japan has been making for quantitative easing and exports are not there.

stuart: i don't want to drag this on too long but tres knippa is still there. there is nothing wrong with a strong dollar, you hate it. you have two seconds. you didn't hear. we are going to move on. adam shapiro was at the stock exchange. still on gold but how about gold mining stocks taking a hit? >> taking a big hit when you look at how some of them have fallen down 10%. part of it has to do with the price of gold falling over the last few days. when you see commodity traders they will tell you gold trading alone $4 an ounce these-won't be making a profit and you see that reflected. stuart: enough buzz kill. you got to show me the tech names that are hitting new highs. i want new highs please. >> you bought microsoft thousand years ago. apple. do we need to say any more.

apple on a tear of 4 points today, groupon 12% and you have different banks talking about this. go perot is up over 12% and holiday sales beating expectations so they're doing very well. linkedin is up and price targets by 10 brokerages including jpmorgan. then you have groupon up 50%. you need to write this off but they have a better than expected third quarter and investors are like the nsa and expedia, time to take a vacation. hotel booking stronger than expected. they are up today almost 5%. stuart: good stuff, thanks very much. no buzz killed there. all good stuff. it is flu season. i have a bone to pick with dr. mark siegel. i personally don't get flu shots. i don't think they work reliably.

what is wrong? >> i am five feet from you and you don't get flu shots? i'm getting awfully shot right now. stuart: johns hopkins assigned us -- baxley. but as you wait for the john hopkins news watch this because you get more of it from dr. siegel. >> this is your best defense against the flu. it decreases circulating flu viruses. stuart: i haven't had a flu in 40 or 50 years. >> would you know if you had it? fatigue, fever. stuart: hi, are we still on for tomorrow?

tomorrow. quick look at the weather. nice day, beautiful tomorrow. tomorrow is full of promise.

we can come back tomorrrow. and we promise to keep it that way. driven to preserve the environment, csx moves a ton of freight nearly 450 miles on one gallon of fuel. what a day. can't wait til tomorrow. i'm sure you know what this meeting is about. yes, a raise. i'm letting you go. i knew that. you see, this is my amerivest managed... balances. no. portfolio. and if doesn't perform well for two consecutive

gold. quarters. quarters...yup. then amerivest gives me back their advisory... stocks. fees. fees. fees for those quarters. yeah. so, i'm confident i'm in good hands. for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. this, ladies and gentlemen, is a rally. the dow is up 1%, 190 points, make a 200. 28 of the dow 30 stocks are up. only ibm and mcdonald's are in the red, down. look at starbucks. disappointing sales and the stock is down 2% lead you don't see that often. sony lost more than $1 billion in the last quarter. they were not buying their smart phones. the stock stable at 19. now this. flu season is here but those who watch this show know that i don't get flu shots.

now i have at least one professional in my corner. here is what john stockton scientist peter dosche said, he may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed and the threat of influenza seems to be overstated. oh oh. dr. siegel is here. a johns hopkins scientists no less agrees with me. what he is saying is you have been counting a bogus medical products, forcing us to put a bunch of chemicals factory made into my arm and i am not buying it. make your case. >> he is the flu denier. he has been well known for this, scientist or otherwise and here is the case. flu is an enablers. the flu margin, knocks down your immune system if you are elderly or very young and other things parade in like pneumonia, bronchitis, infection, sore throat and you are hospitalized. the key thing is hospitalized.

if a pregnant woman takes a flu shot it decreases the risk of hospitalization of their infant after birth by 92%. did you know a diabetic's risk of hospitalization from flu after a flu shot or 2 related illness is down by 79%. stuart: did you know flu shot is only 60% effective? terrible odds. >> what do you mean? >> let's talk about what that 60% is. it is huge but 60% effective at decreasing stuart varney's need if he gets the flu of going to see dr. siegel to an urgent care center or being hospitalized. you get a mild case if you get the flu. stuart: why can't i make my own decision on these things? >> you are. stuart: he is on my back saying i'm anti-social. >> influenza steward. >> i will bring a flu shot to this show to give it to you on the air. offered to do that every year. stuart: no no no.

the good doctor said from johns hopkins is not necessarily safe, some people have a nasty reaction to these flu shots and you know it. >> not nasty. 24 hours. stuart: 24 hours? >> flu like symptoms for 24 hours. you can't get the flu. stuart: why is it? >> my best argument. stuart: no you can't. i am elderly and everybody knows it. i am elderly. >> you full. >> i am elderly, if it as a fiddle. nothing wrong with the at all to my knowledge. why should i get a flu shot? i never had a flu in 50 years. >> my number one argument is because of herd immunity. walking past you will be a pregnant woman, walking past you will be a little kid with asthma. by getting the flu shoot you decrease your risk of spreading flew to people i am more worried about by 50%.

munity. stuart: you know i never get close to people, you know that. >> i don't know that. you won't protect yourself and want to protect others around you. is not a great shot. i will tell you it is not a great shot but it is much better than nothing. stuart: how much does it cost? >> $15, $20. we need researchers to come up with better flu shots. i am granting that. stuart: every year you said that. last year it was going to be pandemic or was that the year before? >> no pandemic but we had serious flu this year, influenza a, same strains as last year and a flu shot covers it. get your flu shot. stuart: i have pressing news. price of oil has gone about $80 a barrel so there you have it. $80.06. not bad, thanks very much indeed. unconvincing i thought. >> i will keep trying. stuart: other stories we have for you today. liberal tv hosts racial matt out took me on.

stuart: it is holding up 188 points at 17,383. the price of oil almost exactly $80 per barrel. it dropped to 79 earlier. the price of gasoline will stay at $3 or below when you have an

don't care where it goes, they won't look after your taxpayer money because they don't care. and eternal rest about government. bling give them less money and they will borrow some to make up the shortfall. fox news contributor colonel ralph peters not afraid to speak his mind and this time he gives his take on oil prices and wide that is bad for countries like russia, iran and venezuela. colonel peters is next. there are two reasons why i need to keep an eye on my health. that's why i take metabiotic, a daily probiotic. new multihealth metabiotic with bio-active 12 is proven to help support a healthy immune system.

i think that there are a few areas. maybe republicans should be doing better now than they are. there are places like alaska that are so close. stuart: thank you very much. appreciate you being with us. to the markets. do not forget the markets on a day like this. dave, i want to ask this. when do we hit 18,000? >> we are not that far away.

>> it is a massive gamble. >> all of these guys are inexperienced. they are not the best team just yet. >> tickets are going for $800 a piece. they are both nearly 40 years old. arguably, the best in the field. is it brady or is it manly? the patriots. >> i would not try to pronounce that correctly.

i will let you do what you've got to do. both of these guys are so accomplished. peyton manning has more records. they are both playing as well as they ever have before. they both went for and i'll end up over. >> i followed the under over. that is 54. fifty-four and a half actually. let's play the under over. you have these two great quarters. i would go for the over. >> denver, surprisingly has one of the best defenses. i am not into gambling, but i think you are wrong. stuart: you are just like an economist. you think i am wrong. i bet the over.

stuart: rachel met all took me on and got it wrong. use the face of nbc news and she turned to the classic style of the left, degas and doggery without facts. this time i was the target and as always they/she twisted the truth to fit her agenda. here is what she did. it is an old trick. he took what we call a screen grab of this program and showed it on her ears. that is me on camera and you see the traffic banner at the bottom which asks the question cheap gas hurts the economy? we posed the question to debunk it. she didn't care to take time to notice that very important detail. her factless rent. >> the business version of fox news look at their headline on

this story about the unusually low gas prices. look at this. cheap gas hurts the economy? this is a genius. fox has decided louganis prices are a threat to america. is president obama purposefully tanking the economy with these unconscionably low gas prices? we report, you decide. stuart: if she watched just 15 seconds of the segment she showed so briefly on her program she would have known we were reciting a wall street journal articles that raise the promise of low gas prices hurting the economy but we quickly dismissed that premise. we are trumpeting the virtues of low gas, low oil prices. wall street journal this morning says gas at $3 carries rewards and risk. it says you get too low and american producers stops producing and that is bad for the economy. >> there is an efficient

frontier so i am not sure what the number is but the saudis want to push gas prices well below $70 a barrel. we get out of the fracking business and shrink their franchise. that is the big issue for them. stuart: in fact we have been cheerleading the drop in gas prices for weeks following day by day, a penny by penny. now look at this. >> this decrease in gas prices will be good for the course of the season, it is good for walmart, macy's, good for costco sun net net i take the position it is better for the economy because of the consumption value. if anyone thought fracking was a problem look at the dividend in the united states economy. i calculate that reduction in price you just talked about is the equivalent of 80 to $100 billion a year tax cut for the american consumer. stuart: rachel matthau resorts to cheap tricks and i was

related spray but she got it wrong and was lazy when she did. low gas prices put $700 per year back in full wallets of the average american family was two, eyes and that is a very good thing. how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. ♪

overall why will they retain control? >> i had my bets in the articles i wrote saying this is my most optimistic prediction 50/15 breaking the tie. that gives me a little bit of a hedge, probably going to be wrong to wait trend lines are working but predicted that is if i pick up seats in kansas, the best chance we have is kansas and we might actually pick up kentucky. those two pickups would be the only way we get to 50/50. stuart: you are referring to the democrats. you are a democrat. but i think you are far more to the center of the party and i would characterize president obama as to the left of the party. you are more comfortable in the middle. aren't you? >> on issues i am pretty left. i support obamacare. i am pro-choice, all the issues

you identified as liberal versus conservative. i believe in the free market and a balanced budget. i think those are liberal positions but i call myself a clintonian democratic as liberals ought to the reaching across the aisle and finding common ground with free-market conservatives and that is why some people call me centrist. is an awful word on the base of our party. terrible word. stuart: it is as bad as moderate. are you a big supporter of hillary clinton? >> to the left of the party. tell me an issue that she is not progressive but she does believe in free enterprise, she does believe in the marketplace and she does believe in balanced budgets like her husband sell on economics. leaving debt to our children is not level.

>> the need to pull the party back to where you are. the party has moved to the left for your liking, your job is to pull some back, you need to pull into the center. that is what you've got to do. >> i consider myself a liberal democrat. i use the word liberal, fdr was my hero for my dad, but the style and partisanship problems of the administration and the republican and democrat polarization in congress is where i am different. and john mccain has said to me, hillary clinton was a workhorse, not a show horse and knew how to make deals. what the country is crying for is democrats and republicans to stand on principles but look for common ground. that is where the center is and

that is where i think i am and where mrs. clinton has to take the democrats. stuart: i wonder if you and i have common ground. this is my big beef with the left. i don't like paying more than half of my income in income tax to the state and federal government. i do pretty well and pay more than half and that is flat out wrong. would you make common ground with me and say it is wrong to take more than half of any man's income regardless what he makes? would you agree with me on that? >> no. i agree with the first half of what use a. i pay more than half of every dollar and i hate it but i don't think it is wrong because our social contract since franklin roosevelt is refund programs to give people economic opportunities and that started with social security and the minimum wage and lots of other things the government needs to regulate. i do agree the federal government is not working and it is inefficient and we need marketplace forces to make it

more efficient, but i don't mind paying taxes if they're put to work efficiently to the help people with the bottom of the latter with greater economic opportunity. that is where i am. stuart: i wouldn't mind that either but i don't expect to see that gave come. if you are not counting, watch your back. the aluminum body to f 150 is a gamble by the ford motor co.. we have one right outside. ford tried to prove it can carry afton pumpkin -- >> it is the great pumpkin.

context. liz: they did not watch your segment because low gas prices are great for the economy. very good for the economy. this is what happens when you are in an ideological bubble and don't allow opposing viewpoints or even fact checks to come into your system. they could have easily caught that they watched the segment. liz: we are an easy target and she fired off at us, she got it wrong. are we agreed on this? liz: we are in agreement. stuart: the markets, the dow set to end this month up 2%, that is just in the month. we started on fears that october, pretty bad month for stocks ended usually is, we had a few days of triple digit losses in the ebola scare and after that we got record highs for the dow, eight dow stocks, eight of that new highs today. on the s&p 500, 500 stocks, 89 of them hit new highs today.

market. stuart: the market is not up on the hopes that he will bring some money. liz: because -- look at gold pro, great corporate earnings. stuart: it is the price of oil or gasoline that is so low. republicans may win control of the senate tuesday. am i so wrong with that? liz: it is about bringing back confidence and with a drop in gas prices that is a tax cut but when it drops $20 a barrel that is $320 billion in consumers''s pockets. that means a great holiday shopping season, people have more money to spend. stuart: our figures say is worth $700 in the pocket of the average american family that as two cars, $700 a year cash extra because gas prices are down to $3 a gallon. liz: sided with global for the world. wall street economists. stuart: i think we ran as we
