great to see you. dagen: happy halloween. maria: happy halloween, dagen. we have a big monday coming up, morning with marias, i'm talk with richard branson and frank lutz, over to you. stuart: thanks, maria, we'll take that show. i'm not on life support, just jeb bush, but the candidate is under pressure like never before. good friday morning, everyone. that debate had consequences. beb appeared to lose the fight with marco rubio and now, the pundits are questioning his continued candidacy. peggy noonen says, a big hitter in the punditry, all of jeb's money has gotten him nowhere. and rubio picked up $750,000 right after the debate.

what grade would you give to president obama? we learned we're down to 1% growth rate. hillary clinton gives him a "a", we're wrapping up the big stocks of the year. and watch at the tech stocks go. "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ all right where are we going at the opening bell? 28 1/2 minutes from now? we're going up a little bit. we're going to go up about 30, maybe 40 points, know the a bad way to start the day. remember, this is the last trading day of the month and october was terrific for stocks. the dow industrials have gained almost 2000 points. we saw that out of 16 k and now we're close to 18 k. what a month. higher profit at linked in and got more money coming in. they're going to open much higher, maybe a gain of what would that be?

trying to do the math. 14, 15% linkedin going up. gas, 2.18 the national average, but nine states under $2 a gallon. i'm going to jersey this afternoon to buy gas, i want 1.75. scott shellady. >> not today. >> my way the introducing scott shellady in the studio. even i know who this is cal ripken, baseball legend. stop laughing. i know who he is. he broke that record. ashley: the game-- >> what record did he break? >> lou gehrig. stuart: i interviewed him, he's on the show. a great guy, a legend. all right, where are we right now? we've got an election alert. yes, we do. the wall street journal's opinion page, an interesting

piece from peggy noonen, she questions the future of the bush campaign. here is peggy noonen. bush, jeb, he has not succeeded this year and there's no particular reason to believe he will. yes, he still has money, but what has money got him so far? joining us is the former co-chair of jeb bush for governor in florida. jeb says he's not on life support, ed, but under a great deal of pressure. here is my question, what can he do to reinvigorate his campaign and quickly. >> he has to be looser. he understands, he has to go to his heart and show his heart and passion to the american people and tell people he's passionate creating an environment like he did in florida when he created an environment that produced 1 is.3 million jobs and he cut taxes by 19 billion dollars. those are the things he needs to show he's passionate on.

maria: you've used the right word. he's got to show his passion and so far he has not. he doesn't come forward the way some of the other candidates have done. so, here is my question, did trump almost knock him out with that statement that he is a low energy candidate? >> no, i think he's anything, but low energy. it's not the ability to debate, it's the ability to govern that's key here. stuart: that's not what voters perceive. i'm sorry to keep interrupting you. you know the score here, he's perceived as a low trrg guy. he has not broken through on the debate. in fact, he was beaten by rubio. >> i would agree with you that we need to see the passion that we saw in florida. he needs to bring that. the ball is this his court to show his passion and his reason why he's running.

he has to present the american people with a rational for being. i think he can do it. stuart: politico breaking a couple minutes ago. the candidates are going to meet sundays and discuss the forth coming debates. the interesting point here is, the republican national committee is not going to be there. this is a revolt by the candidates against the bureaucracy, the republican party, if you like. what do you make of this? >> well, look, the candidates the other night were treated very poorly and if you compare what occurred a couple of weeks ago, the suspectic love fest opposed to pitting one candidate against the other. i think they're right to try to take control of the process. it is their messages and reputations on the line. if they want to be president they've got to have a clear

shot at an opportunity to speak directly at the american people and present the differences. our members are better, but look, we've got to be better in clear and concession messaging. we can't work through the filter of what we saw. >> jeb bush needs a powerful one liner and getting it out there and saying it with passi passion. stuart: thank you. fox business network and wall street journal combined to bring you real debate. we'll go at it november 10th on the fox business network, guaranteed. look at this, weak growth in the third quarter, way under 2%. the annualized growth rate. a miserable 1 #.5%. hillary clinton gives probable "a" on the economy. he's here, scott shellady. >> good morning. stuart: let's suppose that principle wins the president.

she gives him a "a" on the economy and what would you expect? >> if she gives a "a", that means we'd have more of the same. i'd give that a "f". there's an all-time low participation rate. where is the good news they're talking about and what happened to the second half of surge. that hasn't happened. we've seen the gdp revised, lower and lower and lower. how many times have we gotten together the early part of the year. things look better and everyone is oh, this is it, this is it, the takeoff point. for always, seven straight years, always disappointed. >> for now we can't use lift-off or velocity now. those words are now illegal because we just don't have them. that's the proper.

the central bank greet that we've seen is not true economic growth, we are going to continue with this all around the world. >> so, with other banks moving to ease their currencies and make themselves more competitor. it's kind of doing the fed's work for them. and that's making our dollar stronger and that's the problem. >> it's the same with you, ashley. they come up to you and say are we going to crash? that's what they say. >> i hope we don't have a crash, but we could see ten years of just languishes sort of like japanesesque. there isn't anything coming. maybe it's technology later on, but not today. stuart: scott, thank you very much. an iranian businessman who promoted improved ties between iran and america.

well, he's been arrested in iran. ashley, you have more details? >> he's an executive with an oil and gas company, he's done his schooling in the u.s. and rust. arrested when it's an at that ti time-- and when it's a pattern, and stomp on people who promote vee political environment or business environment. whether that person did that, who knows? his parents live in eye rap a and-- iran and this was a global leader in 2007. "the washington post" reporter was just convicted last month on espionage charges and we don't even know did $. >> i'm going to come out and say, that young man is another hostage. are you going to take me on.

ashley: john kerry has ignored the postman. >>. stuart: that's the a no lawyer, i wonder if it will come to his health or if we'll say a word in his favor. ashley: don't hold your breath. here is a big story, especially for me. i'm going to try my hand at on-line shopping this year. >> shocking. how 21st century. stuart: i'm not just trying it out, i've done it before. target is covering free shipping on all on-line sales this highland season. yo is, come in. >> this is their fight against amazon and for the second yooer in a row, target is offering free shipping for on-line orders during the holiday shopping season. no minimum purpose. look at last year, free shipping helped their digital

sales increase by 36% in the last holiday season. target announcing it vuk a new deal with border-free. that might be helpful to ship 2 200 territories. if you step food in a target, they plan to odd more home decor and improve its clothing selection. wall is rolling out new holiday discounts starting this senz. that's november 1st, the day after halloween. stuart: i like the eyed of shipping easily outside of the united states. you and i both-- >> yeah. stuart: you do, too? we're such international people. >> we are. maria: take a look at the surveillance video, shows the deadly shootout between biker gangs.

it was in waco, texas this year. look at that, going at it. after the shoot youth. the police took 480 weapons and arusted 177 bakers. there they are. coming up, a stark morning from brip's version of the-- they're saying there is an attack planning. those stories and more .

>> two warnings for the united states. the first one from russia. members of its military responding to news that the u.s. is launching a ground operation in syria. russia says force by any country is, quote, unacceptable without prior approval from the syrian government. china telling the u.s. its a,s in the south china sea could spark war. u.s. ships have been within

miles of the man made island. it's a provocative act. and british intelligence that isis is planning mass terror attacks in the u.k. come in former cia officer mike baker. this is unusual for such a public warning of such a catastrophic event. we're not used to this. >> it's not completely unusual. it's not unheard of. mi-5, i've worked with them in the past, i started my company with a former member of mi-5, it's a very professional organization and know what they're doing. he's come out and done it for two reasons. they've had over 700, maybe 150 u.k. citizens travel to syria in the recent past to join isis, the islamic state. that means potential for 750 or so people to come back into the u.k.

they've thwarted over half a dozen plots in the recent past that were attempted by the islamic state in the u.k. so this is a growing, a seriously growing threat. the other part, they're preparing for a debate in parliament next week, i believe, for what's called the investigation powers bill. they're trying to set the table and the community in the u.k. have been trying to set a table about the u.k. authorities and so they're trying to say, look, it's fine we can have a debate about it, but they're trying to be more transparent about what they need. >> some of the measures which they prepared are draconian, closing mosques at a last resort and also revoking the passports for anybody who goes

overseas. they're discussing draconian proposals. >> if i am interrupt, i think that take the passport of someone who has been there makes common sense. stuart: you're right, i'm backing right off that draconian comment. this is a somewhat related story, that extraordinary video keeps coming from from the migrant crisis in europe shall the refugees are streaming across slovenia and it's warning europe, another million is on the way. it's a humanitarian crisis, we've got that, but that's a terror threat basically, isn't it? >> absolutely. you're absolutely right to connect these two stories. mi-5 talking about the increase and literally saying they have not seen this level of threat

in their recent past, including going back to the 9/11. yes, they have this problem and they've developed a part of the problem in the u.k. in particular and other parts of europe, over seven generations warrior they've resisted in a sense or not fought for assimilation of immigrants coming into their countries. they said celebrate your own cultures first. so because of that, you've got isolated communities that would argue in the u.k. and elsewhere, they've got also the problem that we face, which is how do you vet these individuals coming in? how do you vet a large majority of young males coming from your crisis. so they don't have this, this is not just a recipe crisis of humanity, but he poses a serious threat. stuart: that's why you need draconian investigation.

>> this bill is something that people will watch closely and there's the top line, they're making a grab for surveillance. i stay step back and realize what's happening. they're just trying to stay ahead of the technology and we're not trying to get a sweeping batch of capabilities, we're trying to stay ahead a step for our citizens and our homeland. a man spends 40 years collecting pennies in jars, almost two tons of them. you won't believe how much he saved, their value. from good warnings to crime, john is here to explain it all, more varney in a moment. ♪

>> almost exactly 9:30 eastern time. that means the stock market is open as of right now, this friday morning. we're expecting a very small gain for the dow industrials, but do remember this has been october, the best month for stocks in several years, actually and we've opened just a little bit higher. 17, 764, how about that? i want to bring to your attention, the share price of exxon. oil is cheap, but they made a healthy profit after cutting back on spending. the stock is up a fraction at 82. and however, hillary clinton endorses a federal investigation of exxon. allegations that it misled the public about the risks of human cause to climate change. we're on that story.

joining us is scott shellady. ashley webster and liz macdonald. all right, i want to start with starbucks, where is that this morning? they're forecasting a not so merry christmas. it doesn't matter, there are nearly at $64 per share. i'm intrainged at that-- i'm intrigued by that forecast, not such a great christmas. that fits your theory, doesn't it, that we're winding down this economy? >> absolutely winding down the economy. out of the gdp numbers, they're a testament to that. going forward there's going to have about an innovation, but something that's going to boost our average everyday spending. >> i want to get to lee. we've got a clearly slowing economy and we've got a rising stock market. do you want to explain this for me? >> well, you know, all that's happening right now, profits are starting to go down.

we had this great correction in august and now everybody is putting money in this thing, because we've rebounded off the august lows from a technical basis, doesn't mean there's no pain going forward. earnings season has been great and iphone selling 48 million, billion phones, it doesn't matter because once we get into this christmas season and see how disappointing it's going to be, it's going to be a problem for next year. starbucks is one to watch. with that perfect company says we're concerned about people rewarding themselves with a starbucks. that is a better weather than selling me how profit's declining. >> it's like scott and i, are we going to have a crash? the other is, why is the stock market close to record highs? it's the same question. >> it's the mom and pop, they can't put it in the bank and put any money on it there.

and the behavior becomes more and more dangerous, and that's what we're seeing. >> there's a completely artificial environment. it doesn't reflect what's going on in the economy. >> the federal reserves are up and lowers interest rates so you don't get anything on a bank cd or a band so you go to the stock market. >> it's stunning the u.s. growth is less than 3% and coincides when the fed got into the market. a lot of money is going into huge technology companies, not going to capital-- >> they're not going into small caps, know the going into small caps where places where you need liquidity. when you see the dollars going into starbucks, facebook, they can expects more in market company like that, look where the small cops have not reached new highs and nothing going a

good three months. stuart: it's amazon, facebook, oracle, google. >> this is the same from 15 years ago. a little bit. stuart: we're not quite the same as a dot-com bubble period. i remember when jds uniphase was worth more than general motors in 1999. crazy days, wonderful in some respects. >> i loved it. >> what you have to realize nobody talks about, the fact that we're technically in an earnings recession. an earnings recession. wall street doesn't look at things like good or bad. wall street looks at things that are better or worse. with all the rhetoric when you're in an earnings recession, it's perverse along with stocks rallying on the back of bad news. since we had the last swoon we only had bad news. stuart: and i bring you link

linkedin, that stock is way up. >> what's going on? >> the sale grew nearly 40%, even though the profits didn't-- >> how much? >> grew nearly 40%. this company is beating twitter in its user growth. its second biggest market is india and going like gang busters in china. stuart: nicole, a couple of solar stocks there. what's the news on solar stocks? >> well, here is the stock, it's down 18 1/2%. this is an i-- atrocious. here is the thing, you have the government reducing the tax credit for the solar products. the tax credit will go to 10% from 30%. and they're rushed to do the installation. this is elon musk and wider than expected loss. stuart: cut back on the tax credits and down go the solar

stocks, that tells the story. what about first solar? nicole: same industry and why are they doing well? this is off 11%. number one they sold a stake in a project. number two, they're expanding abroad to soften the story in the u.s. and tax credits and number three, they, as well as solar city will benefit as they hone in on greenhouse gases. that's a good for companies like these. stuart: nicole, i'm going to be watching you monday morning, 5:00, bright and early, i know you anchor that very early show, we watch that show, fbn a.m., i'll be there. and other names we'll be watching for you. expedia, look at that, an 8% gain. stocks names that you know, up and down. how about baidu? the chinese version of google, the way we put it, for example. where am i going wrong, scott? stop laughing at me. [laughter] >> more ad money flowing into

the core research or search engine business and that thing is up 7%, that's baidu. how about valeant, that's a different story. liz, the rest of it? liz: well, he's on a conference call hotly defending valeant lost 60% of market capitalization since august. this comes on the heels of three pharmacy benefit managers cutting ties to that specialty pharmacy company that valeant has business with. and some are saying it's only an investor relations problem with valeant and he's out now defending them. this is a hot stock today. it's under pressure. stuart: it is. how about pfizer and the maker of botox, that would be allergan. the deal is in the works, so we hear, this would be another american company driven overseas by high u.s. taxes. have i got that right.

ashley: pfizer one of the big est companies around for 156 years. allergan is based in dublin where it's domiciled for the tax. last year pfizer paid 26 1/2% and allergan an effective tax rate of 4.8%, it's not hard to see where the benefits are. stuart: they now say we're an irish company, based in dublin. they pay that tax rate and not this one liz: this is where you'll see allergan start to pop. we don't know what the value of the deal is. ford nor allergan to be happy, watch this, shareholders have to own more than 24% of the combined company. that means that pfizer may have to pony up way more to comport with u.s. rules going down. carl icahn announced he's kicking in 150 million to fight carpet tax inversions just like this. stuart: they're never going to--

the administration is never going to lower the tax rate. >> they keep treating the symptom and not the problem. the problem is that taxes are just too high here liz: the rule says the foreign company, foreign investors have to own a fifth of the stock and could raise it to 40. and pfizer may have to pony up way more than expected to buy this company overseas to comply with the rules. stuart: if they get a huge tax break forever and ever and ever liz: watch that deal get sweetened. stuart: moving swiftly along. general mills is trying to adapt the way we're moving away from processed food. i'm not sure that general mills puts out much processed food. they're cereal people. >> how processed is the cereal? shouldn't be that processed, no. stuart: everything they make is processed, i'm told. >> everything. >> well, the problem-- the double negative here is that with the commodity prices

going down, they should be doing better if they're not doing better in a better environment for commodity prices for them. that's bad. stuart: not much of a hit. 58 on general mills. we're almost ten minutes into the trading session, we're up ten points, 17, 776 i should say. ashley: very patriotic. that's an important number. the end of the month, it's been the best month of stocks in four years, lee munson, come on, explain it to me again. we were close to 16,000 the beginning of the month and now closing in on 18,00030-- 18,000 30 days later. >> put it into context, money is flowing in like you said,

stuart. names people know, things people are familiar with and that's what we're looking at. if you go off and look at anything that's smaller, that needs more, what's called liquidity. remember, liquidity in the stock market is like energy. i we need it. so, we're seeing significant cracks in those mid to smaller names that don't have liquidity and we're seeing all the money rush up. remember, the dollar's not doing too shabby. you've got money from overseas going into the biggest names. this is a fake movement. i know the market looks great, but right now, if you need to rebalance, i would be taking back large cap exposure and i know the fed is going to keep pumping-- >> there are two stocks that pumped up the market and more new highs. look, first of all it's starbucks as we told you earlier, it had almost a 64 earlier, that's a new high. amazon is up 626. it happened a little higher than that this morning. those are the kind of stocks where all the money is flowing

in, especially the technology guys. how do you, how do you capital traders feel about the money flowing in amazon and stuff? >> we've seen money flow out of the commodity sectors for three and four years now. if you look at them trade at five year cycle lows. and also i cold you before a harbinger of things to come. these indexes tell us where we're going and when we're at five-year cycle lows this economy is not getting better anytime soon and that makes. stuart: see what you did? the dow was up 30, 40 points fly to new york and liz: flattened it. >> just because it's going up doesn't mean shouldn't take profits. i've been doing it all week. i'm happy the market is where it's at. i thought we'd go down. clients need money, my clients are retired, live off the stuff. instead of selling it--

>> i've been thinking of selling some microsoft for 15 years. >> it's called hope and change. stuart: i live in hope, yeah, that's right. scott shellady and lee munson, appreciate you being here. a revolt in the g.o.p., the republican party. the candidates are said to be plotting against the bureaucracy of the republican party because of that embarrassi embarrassing cnbc debate. how about that. and space junk coming to the united states and now, listen to john lennon has we go to break. ♪

hey, how's the college visit? you remembered. it's good. does it make the short list? you remembered that too. yea, i'm afraid so. knowing our clients personally is what we do. it's okay. this is what we've been planning for. thanks, bye. and with over 13,000 financial advisors, we do it a lot. it's why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way.

>> it's the day before halloween shall that's why we're showing you this video of a large pumpkin. another real one, obviously, rolling down the street in arizona, broke free and crossed multiple lanes of traffic and got stuck underneath a traffic light. move along people. how about this a louisiana guy cashed in more than half million pennies saved them for 40 years and filled five 15-gallon water bottles and weighed nearly a ton and a half, that's $5,000, close to it. and a gain of five points, ab inb inbev, the parent company of budweiser.

boston beer maker sam adams, cut the stock because the outlook was not great, 12%. some stocks move. we're hearing advisors to several presidential campaigns are planning a private meeting straegize the rnc and television stations to address their debate concerns. this seems to me to be a revolt on the part of the republican candidates against the rnc, the bureaucracy of their own party. >> it looks that way. stuart: that's what's going on? >> i don't know if it's such a bad thing. i don't think that anyone he enjoyed the debate no matter which side of the aisle. stuart: you watched it. >> yes. stuart: i'm a conservative kind of guy. >> i've heard that about you. stuart: and i was appalled the way that debate was handled and the snarky questioning and the

p pompocity of john harwood. >> on the rubio point. stuart: lots of items there. how did you look at it. surely, did you have a negative response? >> probably not as negative, but i definitely, i'm looking for substance from the republican candidates so i know how to criticize them better and you didn't get a ton of that out of this debate. it was supposed to be straight up on the economy and we saw issues. >> moderators who are democrats provoked that nonsense that kind of questioning. they didn't want substance, they wanted a fight. >> and donald trump said or portrayed that they called donald trump a clown, but they said he was running a cartoon campaign, but talking a specific policy, build a wall with a door in the middle. some things taken out of context. i do not think it was good job. stuart: i have no reason at all to complain about any debate among the democrats, have you? >> i have seen to complain we

are not going to have enough. >> i don't think that all of them were patsy questions, either. anderson cooper led by saying, hillary you're a big flip-flopper, what's up with that? that doesn't seem like a patsy question. stuart: where is the next one? >> who knows? if in a few weeks. we've only got six, that's problematic, a pushback on debby wasserman schultz. stuart: no point, you have one candidate. >> we don't have one candidate, bern ji sanders-- >> pick her as his vp. that would be the pick. stuart: and no question, hillary is the nominee. >> that's what the polls say. stuart: are you happy about this? >> i am happy. stuart: she gave president obama a "a" on the economy.

>> i might have gone a-. >> i'll give you the average, 2% growth. the worst recovery since world war ii, the worst, and hillary would give him a "a", and more of the same? >> hillary clinton is going to be leading much more in the middle than is being portrayed right now. i hear it. this friday-- >> by name and policy. stuart: you said she's going to skew back to the center after she's gone way out on the left. >> unfortunately that's the way it works and the party play into that, she needs to get out there and get the union vote. this is not who she actually is. >> yeah, we're telling them all day she has to tack left to get back to the middle.

you're going to like it. stuart: that's her vision, how to lead to this to get this vote and then bingo out to the center. >> if we had centrally financed-- >> and government tax money out of sanders and clinton. 18 trillion is what bernie sanders wants to spend and freebies from hillary clinton. this economy, the growth is built on our money. stuart: got five seconds. >> i don't consider them freebies, they're investment in our country. red light on. stuart: earned income tax credit, i want to invest in it, the way to-- >> that's unfair what you just did. >> happy halloween. stuart: and space junk headed straight for us. nobody knows whoo it is, but we do know where it's going to land and we're going to tell

it's game three of the world series, the mets down two games and cal ripkin is here. i've got a news alert for you. ♪ all right, now let's get that news alert. check this out, this is live video from slovenia and austria, the borders of those countries. thousands trying to cross the border and get into the austria. we understand it's an ugly and grim sight. earlier today, turkey announced there are another million migrants are on their way. now, this is a march from north africa, it goes through turkey, it goes into greece, into the former yugoslavia and right up there to the slovenia-austrian border. they're desperate to get inside western europe where there is apparently a waiting committee.

germany says they'll take in 800,000, there's more on their way. ashley: the u.n. estimates 700,000 made their way into europe and another million on their way. we've never seen anything like this before the second world war or maybe before that. it's a wave of humanity. and 22 people just drown in the last 24 hours trying to get across to the greek islands and and then up north all the way to europe. it's a daily occurrence, 9,000 a day landing on the greek island of lebo. and-- >> what-- the eu a swamped and their response is getting messier by the day. stuart: tammy bruce, i know you're looking at this just coming into the studio, but i don't see a solution here. i see a humanitarian crisis. you can't let people die on the street in europe or any place for that matter.

you can't do that. on the other hand, what are you going to do with maybe, one, two, maybe even three million people? >> it's a highlight of the failure of europe and the western world. it's now clearly, you see these, the video here, it's extraordinary, it's an invasion. remember, it was at first to help the syrian people and it's clearly now not a syrian issue, and they still seem to be unable to stop it, this will be ultimate arguing, this could be the breakdown of the eu itself. and that helpless, it the western world that helpless? we're going to see. it's more than a tragedy and deliberately, i think, can affect the nature of the western world. >> we're heading toward winter and it's critical for these poor people stuck out in the open. stuart: what do you do? what do you do? no solution whatsoever, i don't know, but it's a crisis and here it is. more about this. and next story, hillary clinton says she would give president

obama a "a" for his handling of the economy. tammy bruce, the aforementioned, aforeintroduced is here. what would you give hillary? >> a d for deluded and give president obama the f he deserves. and the growth lower than that, stagnant. how many summers of recovery have we had? the new record of americans who are out of the work force that speak to the horrible nature of the economy, people working two and three part-time jobs. more americans, i think, the majority of americans have less money in their accounts than they did even before the economic crash in 2008, but what we have to make sure is the left will continue to say their fantasy, and you know, business people have to make sure that-- and this network has to make sure people know the truth of what's happening. stuart: our responsibility, this network-- >> it is, they're subjective --

they're objective facts, and you've got the fox network and objective facts. ashley: whoever that candidate is against hillary clinton, they're going to have a field day with that, and say you give this economy a "a", it would a benefit from him. stuart: the line from ronald reagan, are you better off than you were four years ago, the answer is no, and he won hands down. might be a resurgence of that. another one for you, tammy, and that's hillary clinton. she says she supports and wants a probe of exxonmobil. she says that they misled the public on global warming. they've been doing it for 40 years. now, this is the government all over the oil companies using a global warming as an excuse to individual.

>> isn't that rich, the entity that effectively moved the hoax of the global warming are now pointing the finger at a company and richer my hypocritical dynamic of hillary clinton wanting someone investigated because they misled people? i mean, you talk about projection and that should be exxonmobil's response. we're going to listen to government officials who have been misleading the american people about virtually every single issue and now we're the problem? >> are you saying-- you used the word hoax. you think this is a hoax, global warming is a hoax. >> we know that the major data center in england was caught changing their numbers and faking numbers. we have the details of the fact that the earth's temperature and that the weather temperature has not increased in almost two decades. i mean, these are also objective facts. >> it's not about feelings about if it's warm because it's summer or cold because it's winter. we have objective facts about the nature of what's occurring,

fewer hurricanes, fewer severe weather episodes. but these are conversations that the scientists who rely on government money, if you do -- if you dispute this, then your money is cut off. you want to talk about a hoax and about misleading people, this is projection at its worse. ashley: i wonder if exxon has a private e-mail server. stuart: car -- sarcasm on a friday. works for me. and charlie is here, we always think he'll be the president in 20, 25 years. did anybody fire you up at the debate? >> yeah, i was there in denver and got to see the g.o.p. versus cnbc debate. you have two candidates both age 44, if you're under 50, that's considered young in politics, steal the night away

and defend the entire field. if you look what ted cruz did, supposed to be hated by the party, stood up and defended jeb bush, john kasich, donald trump in one beautiful sentence and then marco rubio, 44 years old. took on the mainstream media with effectiveness. and 45 speaker of the house was put into power, so you have two 44 year olds who dominated debate and 45-year-old. that's youthful and both 44 year olds are latinos. stuart: we've got the breaking news that there's going to be a big meeting on sunday. the representatives of the candidates campaigns will be there. the rnc, republican national committee, will not be there. looks to me like a revolt of the candidates against their own party and they're revolting because of the conduct ever that -- of that debate the other night. >> i look at it like the

godfather meeting of the big families. takes a crisis to get everyone together. look, we were promised debate reform back in 2012 after we had, you know, essentially david axelrod allies having mitt romney such ridiculous questions, but i will say this, the 2016 candidates did something the 2012 candidates never did. they unified and said, we're not going to take it anymore, they made it about the media, the moderators. in 2012 looks like they went in the fetal position, please don't ask me these questions, i don't want to be pushed around. it wasn't, these candidates turned back on the moderators. stuart: 20 seconds only, marco rubio the millennial candidates? >> i think those are the going to be the final two, rubio and cruz.

stuart: thank you very much indeed. tammy bruce. >> i wanted to ask something about the previous conversation about exxon. keep in mind when it comes to the election, hillary and the democrats now clearly are talking about criminalizing disagreements with the issue of climate change. stuart: thank you, that's the point. >> that's the problem here, major problem. stuart: got it. put the graphic up again, please, tell everybody that we've got that debate coming up on tuesday, november 10th. that will be the fox business debate. it will be a good one, tuesday, november 10th on this network, 6:00 at night, 8:00 at night eastern time. check that big board, friday morning, a go nowhere date thus far, this is the last trading day of the month. it will be almost certainly the dow's best month in four years. got two big names, you know them and they're hitting new highs this morning. starbucks was at 64. it's now 63, but may up there. amazon at 6:28. it was close to 6:30.

pictures last for longer so they can post them to my story feed and allow their friends to see if for 24 hours. what's changed today is that the new terms and conditions and privacy policy state that snapchat can reuse and post some photos are' using on snapchat. stuart: it's not disappearing. it's not on the screen, but snapchat has them. >> as our default used fob t the-- to be the message and now we have the right to save it on the server. one clarification, they do say in the support pages, anything that's a private snap, which is what they call the pictures, sent between you and a friend. that's deleted about you not clearly stated in terms of the condition. it's confusing people out there

and scaring some users. stuart: i don't know what kind of pictures people transfer to one another, i can only guest. you use snapchat for the privacy and now they've taken it away. not why i do, but if i were a snapchat user. >> people are questioning that. in 2011, if that's a silly face to delete. whether you're on the west coast, but now it's not being deleted. stuart: you bring us trillion stuff. thank you very much indeed. i wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. >> hillary's got a headache wondering what is still up there. stuart: major league hall-of-famer, cal ripkin. we're talking about his historic career and of all things, wine, would you believe. ripkin next.

story is not pretty. in china parents want boys know the girls, it's a deeply rooted, something in the culture. so consider the dilemma that millions of couples face. before the birth of the first child, the couple discover it's a girl. the amniocentesis shows it's a girl and many abort and try for a boy. it's gender selection and happens hundreds of millions of times. there are now an estimated 30 million surplus males. estimates put that number far higher, it's a crisis. this month, uncommentator suggested that two or three men share a wife. women are in short supply. the new policy allowing is second child may bring some relief, it's after all, a second chance at a boy, so

there may be fewer female abortions. really, what kind of relief is that? the cultural preference for boys remains which means a different and lesser value is placed on the life of a girl. speaking personally, i don't think that human beings deep down of any race or culture are really like that. i think we are hard-wired to love. when you see your newborn daughter or son, that's when you understand the true money of love at first sight. you can't breathed. through your nose. suddenly, you're a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip which instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone. shut your mouth and say goodnight mouthbreathers. breathe right ♪ hi, tom. how's the college visit? does it make the short list? yeah, i'm afraid so.

>> well, stuart, it's a pleasure to be with you, and there have been a lot of really dumb things that the obama administration has done. this ranks right up there. to say that you're going to send 50 special operators into syria, a syria where you have russia that is operating with ground troops and also air cover, iranian quds forces and also hezbollah and you're just going to send 50 special operators in to fight against isis? this is insane. and if this is part of what the obama administration wants to do, this is mission creep, and guess what? we spent $45 million of american taxpayer money to train up 54 syrian rebel forces, and we were down to four or five. all the others have been killed and captured. stuart: you say mission creep. if you start with 40, 50 special ops guys, i mean, you could expand it once you've got a toe hold. it could be something bigger down the road, couldn't it? i understand that president obama's heart is probably not in it, but he could be pushed into a corner and expand that troop

presence s. that what you want, allen? >> well, what i want is to understand the battlefield calculus that you operate under in the military. you want to have 3 to 1 odds. i don't think sending 50 guys in, i think isis has more than about 15 or 20 fighters that are operating in syria. and then when you look at the position that the president has been forced into with this most recent hostage rescue operation where we had the members of the army delta force, they were engaged in combat operations. so the cat is out of the bag. and, unfortunately, master sergeant joshua wheeler lost his life. and when you have the secretary of defense say that we're going to engage in direct ground operations in iraq, now the president has been forced to do something. but what he does is put a band-aid over a sucking chest wombed. if you remember the "60 minutes" interview, he said his heart wasn't in training the syrian rebels. what if his heart's not in this.

what do you do with them? they're going to be dying in those cornfields before too long. >> stuart, this is what ends up happening. you have an economic catastrophe because how are you going to take care of all of these millions of people? how much do taxes have to be raised for the social welfare programs? you have a domestic security problem because you're not going to be able to vet and understand who these individuals are, and and without a doubt you could have some isis sympathizers that are creeping in and establish even more sanctuaries and sales within europe. and the other thing is your overall national security threat which will be increased as well. stuart: there is no easy answer to this one at all. and i think europe is threatened by this. allen west, thank you very much for your time. it's always appreciated. thank you, sir. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: i want to get back to hillary clinton who says she would give president obama an a for his handling of the economy. joining us now is a clinton fundraiser. he is -- i don't know why he's laughing.

statute. if you win, they hit for triple damages. >> yeah. the tobacco industry was hit with rico. it's suppressing research, that would be the basis for the dems trying to do this and climate change supporters to do this. i'll tell you, it's a dicey proposition because exxon is saying we did share our research with the energy department, mit and 50 peer-reviewed articles. >> this goes back to the 1970s and a study that exxon did, oh, by the way, with the help of the department of energy, plus a panel from the u.n., that came up with these results that clinton and others on the democratic side said they suppressed the results because the results showed that the burning of fossil fuels -- >> but as you said, it's criminalizing it now is an opinion. there's no consensus here. stuart: criminalization of free speech and opinion. >> right. stuart: you can't beat 'em with a debate, so you slap them with the rico statutes. where is harley right now? [laughter] why is she doing this? let's get to the california bullet p train, shall we?

it is over budge, and it will not be built on time. it's going to cost $68 billion. won't be done, i think the latest estimate is 2028. joining me now is california governor, former california governor gray davis. governor, welcome to the program. it's very good to see you with us today. >> my pleasure, stuart. stuart: now, i think you started the whole ball rolling on this train. i think you signed a bond deal back in 2002? it's not going well, is it, governor? i mean, this thing is way over budget. and it's not going to be built probably in my lifetime. >> well, hopefully it's going to be built in your lifetime, stuart. yes, full disclosure, i signed the first high-speed rail authority in this country, appointed its members, put the bond issue on the ballot, and i'm very pleased that governor brown, who's one of the most frugal people on the planet with the exception of his holiness, the pope, is in charge because he's already reduced the cost by

about a third by adjusting where the train will start and where it will end. stuart: but is it time to kill it, governor? >> absolutely not. stuart: why not? >> if you look to europe and asia, stuart, high-speed rail is a reality. if you've been in california, and i'm sure you have, anywhere between four and seven in the evening in the bay area or los angeles, you're not moving. it's gridlock. so we need another alternative to link these two areas. the gdp of the bay area and los angeles exceeds all but ten states in this country. this is an economic value to linking these two great cities -- stuart: you haven't got the money, governor. >> listen, i'm sure columbus had to deal with these arguments ver america. who knows what would have happened -- stuart: well, okay, how about this one? you're going to be digging i think it's like 26 miles of tunnels through mountains in earthquake country. >> yes. and we have experts that have

dug underneath the pyrenees and the alps, european countries -- european companies con ultimating with the -- consulting with the high-speed rail authority. there are risks, but they are manageable. my god, stuart, we put a man on the moon and brought them back. that had much bigger risks than high-speed rail is dealing with. stuart: how much will it cost when you eventually build this thing and i want to go from san francisco to los angeles, what's your estimate for the ticket price? >> well, the current estimate is $68 billion, but the first two contracts have come in under estimates, so i'm betting on jerry brown. stuart: so you're going to tell me -- i don't mean to be pejorative here. this thing is going forward? >> this thing is going forward. it's going to be a reality, and you're going to live to see it. and hopefully ride it. stuart: wait a minute, are you serious, sir? really? >> yes, i am serious. stuart: you're going to build, what is it, a thousand miles, 800, 700, whatever it is --

>> about 400 miles. stuart: okay. >> from burbank to san jose which is the current line that's end visioned. -- envisioned. stuart: that's not quite downtown l.a. to downtown san francisco. okay, 400 miles. you're going to get this done by 2028, yeah? >> yes. and i'm going to ride on the train with you. [laughter] stuart: $68 billion, that's it. no more than that? >> that's correct. maybe less. stuart: how much of that comes from california? >> a good chunk -- i'd say about half of it comes from the federal and the state government, and the rest will come from the private sector. once they see the high-speed rail authority is actually operating in the central valley, then they'll see it's a real deal, and they'll get excited about partnering with the government. stuart: governor gray davis, you're on. >> good. stuart: when you build that thing, i'll ride it. but i expect to be dead by then. [laughter] >> no, you're going to be around, and hopefully i'll be around as well. [laughter]

stuart: let's hope for the best, governor. it's a pleasure to have you with us, thanks so much, gray davis. thank you, sir. >> my pleasure. stuart: next case. a new dating site. ah, wait a minute. you've got to meet some high standards to join. what are those standards? we'll find out in a moment. you both have a

perfect driving record. >>perfect. no tickets. no accidents...

>>that is until one of you clips a food truck, ruining your perfect record. >>yup... now, you would think your insurance company would cut you some slack, right? >>no. your insurance rates go through the roof. your perfect record doesn't get you anything. >>anything. perfect! for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. and if you do have an accident, our claim centers are available to assist you 24/7. for a free quote, call liberty mutual at switch to liberty mutual and you could save up to $509 call today at see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance.

stuart: the league, okay? that's the name. it is a new dating service -- site, i should say. the league. it's been called elitist because you got to meet high standards just to get into this thing. look who's here, the founder and ceo, amanda bradford. you've got to tell me what standard do i have to meet to get into this thing. >> hi, stuart. well, we look at a bunch of different standards. so we make everyone authenticate with facebook and linkedin so we can see everything about the users from what their social circles are, to what degree they studied in college, what institutions they've attended, what type of career they've held, so we look at a bunch of different factors. stuart: so it's got to be a professional person, they've got to have a certain amount of income, a good college pedigree, all of that, right? >> it's less about income. we call it ambition. it's about does this person look like they are trying to do something interesting in their career trajectory? so it's less about whether you

went to an ivy league school and it's more about are you an ambitious and high-achieving person in your career. stuart: now, it is an app, right, but i've got to meet those standards before you let me get the app, correct? >> it is an app. it's a mobile app on the app store, and you download your register. we put everyone onto a wait list, and every week we process people based on supply and demand, based on, you know, who may have left the service if they've met someone, so we keep the community very close knit and highly engaged. stuart: how much? >> right now it's free. we are currently piloting some different monetization techniques, but it's free once you're accepted. stuart: okay. and at some point you're going to either charge or get money out of people. at some point you have to, right? [laughter] >> if the bubble keeps the way it is. no, we do plan to charge, probably next year. we'll likely do a premium model -- stuart: so is this what sets you apart from other sites? i mean, i'm not going to say

it's elitist, but you've got your standards. that's what sets you apart, that's how you got into this business quite deliberately, setting high standards, right? >> yeah. i mean, i call it high standards. i like to think we're producing power couples. these are not traditional housewives that -- men looking for trophy wives. these women, 90% of our women have college degrees, 30% have advanced degrees, 14% are directors. so, you know, these are kind of a special set of women that are looking for men that, you know, meet their standards. stuart: you allow guys in too, obviously, right? [laughter] >> we do allow guys in. you know, again, i've written some articles about this, but, you know, this isn't an app for men that are just looking for beautiful women, this is about, you know, beauty and brains, and, you know, people who are really valuing intelligence and ambition as a trait that they want to index on in their dating life. stuart: i hope that you'll accept me. not that i'm going to apply, but i hope i would qualify.

>> you have a great career trajectory, stuart, so i think you'll get in. stuart: i'm doing all right. thanks very much, amanda. we'll see you soon. more varney in a moment. why put up with that? but the quicksilver card from capital one likes to keep it simple. real simple. i'm talking easy like-a- walk-in-the-park, nothing-to-worry-about, man-that-feels-good simple. quicksilver earns you unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. it's a simple question. what's in your wallet?

for all the confidence you need. who's tim? td ameritrade. you got this. stuart: well, look at that. my time is up. neil, it's yours. neil: thank you, my be friend. we're following a story that you were first reporting that concerns when marco rubio, early indications we're going to check in with charlie gasparino that he is at least getting a commitment from the part of big donors to sort of sniff around and say, you know, you just might look like an attractive candidate. but we're getting word that maybe this criticism that he was not in washington enough for big votes, that he skipped an iowa event that was scheduled for today to vote in washington. i would assume that was for the budget vote, it might not be. there might be other votes, but he's missed about three or four out of ten big votes and, of course, he was lambasted by harry reid and nancy pelosi, and obviously, jeb bush the other night. but the fact of the matter
