9:03 am
test. stuart: aren't you giving your opponents ammunition here? i mean, the dob criticizes the democrats the competition and now the president goes up a conversation with a reporter. >> plenty of examples of aside were there giving joking with one another or giving each other a hard time. turn on the late-night shows and see what it said about president trump if you think the coverage is there about who is making fun of you. stuart: back to you in a second hold on one moment. let's turn to china big news today that reporting their weakest growth rate in nearly a decade joining us now an old friend of mine will call him a veteran market watcher, i hope he doesn't mind, james a water and back on varney and probably. >> my pleasure. stuart: it is? just wait. [laughter] china is slowing down clearly and it is falling in the month of september. what impact of their slowdown on our stock market - i don't care about becoming a stock market?
9:04 am
>> minor at this point. china is a potential black swan if it implodes and there's a lot of issues in terms of how can affect the world economy and world banking system at a bar the evidences they manage through. periods of slowdown and manage the liquidity and manage the confidence and as long as china doesn't implode our stocks will react to is going on here which unbalances unfavorable. you have to watch but not a danger. stuart: can i go as far as to say we are winning the trade fight in the sense that their economy is hurting our economy is not? >> yes, absolutely. our economy and markets are doing better and feeling the pain and this is a big gamble on transport. it's still a gamble in high risk we have to say the evidence is that he probably going to win because we are the soccer play player. stuart: you been following the market longer than i have it really is saying something, james. [laughter] give me your outlook for the next six months. our viewers want to know is the
9:05 am
time to sell the big text - they made a fortune on them or plow more in? >> it's a title war between rising profits and a growing economy and rising interest rates and market pressure and tightening liquidity. profits will power and win the game but stocks will go up but because of rising interest rates and margin pressure it will be more volatile. you buy on weakness, not a bear market, conditions for a bear market will exist and they might in a year or two as interest rates go up but right now your tolerable inflation, tolerable interest rates, growing profits and socks are cheaper than they were at the beginning of the year because profits have gone out or than stock prices. i'm a fire on balance. stuart: today is october 19. >> yes, it is. it's an anniversary. stuart: 1987. susan, you know all about it. [laughter] where are you in 1987? >> i was right there running firm called [inaudible].
9:06 am
stuart: you are with me. we were on the air live on another network, okay. [laughter] but let's not get into that. >> yes, we were together and if you get back far enough i remember when nixon was impeached in the vietnam war and we been through a lot together and you know america always comes out of it. stuart: james, you go back further than i do. [laughter] pleasure to have you back. >> thank you. stuart: let's get to the migrant caravan. there is a deal of sorts between our country and mexico to stop those migrants from arriving in america. remember, yesterday the president said he might involve the military if necessary. back to david, this looks to me like a political competition. democrats want open borders and the president says, stop them, send them back. i think he went on the. >> this is a winning issue for the president and for the public
9:07 am
and the democrat campaign for open borders and we campaign what ultimately americans want. they want the communities and they want to know who is coming in and leaving the country which is what a secure border gives you while at the same time debating from all the good things we get out of legal immigration. 40% of fortune 500 companies were started or founded or now run by an immigrant or the child of an immigrant. stuart: let's eat the video on the screens right now. americans get worried when they see this caravan and others starting. americans regard that is a real threat. >> hence why the president has that if you do he'll send the military to the border. it is why you have him putting pressure on mexico and now they are stepping up and being couple. stuart: very strong pressure on the scale. and guatemala, too. guatemala got eight and a half billion dollars in remittances from quite a model living in america down to quote mullah
9:08 am
last year but only 60 million people in the country and they got eight and half billion. stuart: >> as any parent will tell you the best way to get the actions you need is to cut off the mon money. the president has done that. if you want america support you will help us with the issues we are facing. stuart: we want to be humanitarians but david thank you so much. see you soon. california democrats, harris wants to give many people free money and tell me more that be a good vote-getter. stuart: vote buying. >> exactly right. under this plan she says those families earning 100,000 a year or less would get a tax credit of 100 month or $6,000 a year. or individuals less than 50,000 a year they would get 250 a month or $3,000 a year. chance of get this getting to congress, right around zero. to the point, it appeals to the
9:09 am
democratic base and appeals to lower income families and a way to buy votes. stuart: david, not quite leaving the set just yet. [laughter] you must relish this. you got to want the democrat to go by left. >> the best way republicans have to keep in the house is for people to see what the democrats are for. stuart: and? >> and in every policy announcement there made this year they been wrong whether it be the border or tax cuts or getting rid of relation. democrats have been wrong on every step of the way. stuart: but they use this as a tax issue against the tax cuts but place by the gop same weight inflation is being basically stagnant and families are falling behind the cost of living. the trying to turn the tax issue with stuff like this and to their advantage. stuart: i didn't find out where senator harris wants to get the money. reimpose tax increases? >> same thing with health care plan but they say medicare for
9:10 am
all and we know that as government run healthcare. not one person including chief architect bernie sanders can tell you how they will fund it. stuart: what a stark contrast between the term growth plan and kamala harris far left growth plan but give money away all right. now i can say thank you very much. [laughter] we are all done. let's see, it's a friday morning we got a pretty good gain, triple digits up for the dow about 40-point up for that nasdaq would check out the big tech names. i think we have the premarket, yes we do, they are up. they take quite a beating lately but there's a modest balance or balance as of this money. american express, gave a rosy outlook and yes, the stock is up about 1.3%. how about proctor and gamble? that are still there, boosted by all, this is what they do. beauty and hope your product but they do that, strong demand. very strong demand because they have it put up five and half% on a huge company like procter & gamble. they make all kinds of consumer items, toothpaste, crust, thai
9:11 am
detergent, you name it. up 5% and very beginning for a very big stock. tesla introduced a lower-priced model three or so elon musk suspect this will be the electric car for the masses. cannot build them? well, will they get out there on the markets? time will tell. blast from the past. paul is back with all the device. it's a mini smart phone about the size of a credit card. they are hoping people will use it in addition to the big smart phone they already have. will that work? we will show you one. we have one on the set. a little later carpet present uptick in much tougher stance with the saudi's. he says missing washington post jamal khashoggi is likely dead and if the saudi's played a role in his death, conferences will be severe. after this.

9:15 am
how much lower-priced? >> originally, mass-market $35,000 vehicle and well, tesla has not been able to produce those lower-priced vehicles in model three so they been rolling out the excess premium performance model 3,464,0004 options so elon musk taking to twitter yesterday saying finally is here and the mass-market $35,000 model three that's $35,000 after tax incentives, of course, but they do expire in january and only start delivering them in four. stuart: i hear a lot of caveats. serious subject. a navy helicopter crashed on an aircraft carrier in the philippine sea. >> right off the philippine coast. the regular operations and made the seahawk, to pilot the two crewmembers so they have to take off crash landed back on the flight deck. the navy is nothing on the
9:16 am
people were injured some report say about a dozen but they believe that these injuries are lifeguarding and some say sailors have been admitted to hospital in the pokey buildings but no fatalities in this crash but under a bus station. stuart: present from commenting on missing saudi communist, jamal khashoggi, role take. president trump: it certainly looks that way to me. it's very sad. >> what are you considering for possible consequences for the saudi's . president trump: it'll have to be very severe. it is bad bad stuff. but we will see what happens. stuart: joining us now former commander of the uss cole. kirk, what happens if we sever our relationship with the saudi's? i know you don't let that happen but if we did, how bad would that be? >> i think it would be a tragic decision on behalf of the united
9:17 am
states. we have strategic interest there that while this is in and of itself clearly a very damaging human rights issue the issue of reporters being attacked like this but nonetheless when you take a step back saudi arabia is our only true counterbalance to the expansion of iran through the middle east and to not have them as a working partner or an ally in the region would be incredibly shortsighted and ill-informed, if we were to separate the relations. stuart: arguably, saudi arabia has already taken a very slippery and hit with this desert conference. people are withdrawing left, right and center in that conference was supposed to be the showcase of the new saudi arabia and the new saudi economy going forward. i think the taking a major hit with that conference already. what say you? >> i thank you are right. when you look at it the new conference, what he has done in his decisions and how he has waged war in yemen and how we
9:18 am
continue to do operations and some of the thoughts he has ma made. on one hand always try to modernize and open up the liberalized society in saudi arabia he's doing it at a cost. if, in fact, this issue with jamal khashoggi comes to be true then i think we have to take a step back. right now the bottom line interest of the united states has to look at is what is our strategic interest. we have vested interest throughout the middle east that we are part and partner with saudi arabia and doing that as well as . stuart: is it our best interest to keep doing business with the conference? even if it's discovered that he may have an handedness? >> if he had a direct hand the sanction him just like we have sanctions vladimir putin in a separate reality is we must not tolerate this type of behavior and that said, let's also be a realist as well, if you have a human rights policy that will affect our strategic interest in what are we doing when the same thing happens in china and when
9:19 am
it happens in russia? up until this point we've done virtually nothing in those cases. so to sit can single out saudi arabia with this high and mighty attitude that we need to go after them and we need to possibly sever ties or cut off arms deals worth $100 billion of american jobs we best take a step back and say, is that in our strategic interest or do we specifically target and fix them for those individuals involved with a longer view toward what we are doing in the middle east. stuart: commander, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: turned to money. friday morning, the job market yesterday, modest rebound today. a solid rebound or the nasdaq composite. now this. lotto fever. we're talking it's alive and well today. mega millions jackpot stands at $970 million heavily heading for 1 billion. they are all laughing at me but my personal opinion member, if
9:20 am
you when the government takes half in texas. i think if they brought a deal and an efficient way to tech support and i'll have no part of it. >> well . stuart: will argue it out after this. oh, and there's the closing bell. (sighs) i hate missing out missing out after hours. not anymore, td ameritrade lets you trade select securities 24 hours a day, five days a week. that's amazing. it's a pretty big deal. so i can trade all night long? ♪ ♪ all night long... is that lionel richie? let's reopen the market. mr. richie, would you ring the 24/5 bell? sure can, jim. ♪ trade 24/5, with td ameritrade. ♪

9:32 am
but the matter of the fact is, it affects all of us even with guys with no china exposure like me but it increases volatility and risk premium in the market. fundamentally, depending on the trade workplace out this is a great opportunity for us investors that are seen a downtick in stocks that don't have direct china exposure just because the caught up in the whole dropping tides so to speak. i was a china's story will get worse before it gets better. stuart: china flew down, effect on our stocks? >> of course. first off, china is in ali baba is down 30, 40% for starters. china slowing down potentially that means other places are slowing down and other places are slowing down, with little, if we slow down, you may see this in the market right now. you're getting a little bit. stuart: do you think the ali baba's of this world, chinese tech stops are biting opportunity now? >> no, all i see is heavy volume

other caravans for me and that is very threatening to americans when they see this coming towards him. jim, it reminds me of 2,015 in europe where the migrant crisis erupted there and let them all in. >> in that fight the president is talking about stopping ornate countries and putting troops on the border and national guard on the border. that the appropriate thing to be talking about trying to deal with every sovereign country has right to control their borders. americans have common sense and understand and they also understand this, stuart. women and children who are in the migrant caravans and the harm that can happen to them that is so wrong, as well. they are a danger to the individuals. this needs to stop. president understand that and the american people get it. this is why they elected him in 2016. the response for congress as we need to make sure we get the board to about bill as soon as possible but that will happen if democrats to control and that is for doctor. stuart: jim, i see shifting in the polls for november shifting
9:47 am
towards the republicans certainly in the senate could do think it's a big enough shift in the house for the republicans to keep? >> i do. stuart: you do? >> when it using the left take the radical positions? they applaud colin kaepernick when he disrespected the flag and they embrace maxine waters when she says go out and harass anyone who supports the president. contrast that crazy vision for where they want to take the country versus the record under president trump? in the last 21 months taxes reduce, economy growing, loss on appointment in 40 years, kavanaugh on the court, out of the iran deal, embassy in jerusalem, those are the two competing visions. americans will say wait, do you want this crazy world of cabinet, cuomo and waters or the world where a the leadership of present him with the amazing things happen. when they stop that and focus

10:01 am
interest rates, inventory is getting expensive. stuart: i will read that not as very good number. you're only producing or selling i should say 5.1 million existing homes a year. come on in economist peter morici. that doesn't sounds to me like a very strong number. it is an indicator of some problem with the economy? >> generally speaking the housing sector has not led in this recovery. new home construction is way below the peak of the last decade. that is likely to continue. essentially millenials don't form households as quickly. they find other modes to live in and there really is a sense that prices are a little too high in the big metropolitan areas. so many years of zero interest rates and 3 1/2% mortgages has basically inflated that market. and that it needs to top off for a while. stuart: okay, i want to bring in brian belski, bmo chief investment strategist.
10:02 am
just look at this real estate number please, brian. 5.1 million homes sold, that is the annual selling rate for existing homes. again, that just doesn't seem to me to be a very strong number. what you bottom? >> peter is right though. you have to have some perspective. housing has been on a tear since 2012 and so this may be a bit of a slowing down process here, especially given the momentum we saw after the election. in particular we had a huge spike. what is interesting over the last few months you saw new home prices actually dip below existing home prices. we haven't seen that in several years. i think what we're seeing a normal cooling off process. the key thing housing has not led the economy and will not lead the economy and it's a structural issue with millenials and i think there is a near term
10:03 am
phenomenon. not the peak. ashley: median home price for existing home is now 258,100. that is up 4% year-over-year. prices are going up. mortgages are going up. sales are plateaued to starting to head a little lower. stuart: very interesting number. this is what the realtors really look at. ashley: 90% of the housing market. stuart: that is what it is, okay. let's get to the overall stock market. yes we do have a rally this friday morning. brian, come back in again, please, address the stock market and the obvious question do we go higher from here by the end of the year? >> yes. we do. we still stand behind our 2950 s&p 500 target which we initiated in november of 2017. we're strategists that love to really focus on our discipline and process. stuart: can i just interrupt you for a second. i'm sorry to interrupt you.
10:04 am
2950 by end of the year on s&p. it is 2794. you're looking for a very significant gain between now and december 31st? >> yep. following the script, fourth quarter, between november and december is traditionally very strong. number two, i think right now we have literally a buyers strike. we're freezing on some of the macro data. the stock market is a market of stocks. the investors are not seeing the forest through the trees. there is a lot of great earnings coming out of a lot of great companies. we're applying umbrella type analysis being negative with respect to the market right now. there is a bit of hangover and cloud with respect to the midterm elections. we've seen a lot of outflows from equities last couple weeks. we think exactly the wrong time to be selling. stuart: brian, real fast, if the democrats were to retake the house, would you stick with your
10:05 am
prediction of a strongly higher market by the end of the year? >> yes because i think at the end of the day there will be a buying exhaustion. people are sick of all the politics. u.s. equities we still believe are the strongest u.s. asset class in the world. stuart: i want to get back to peter, economy in china is slowing down. we actually saw a drop in industrial output in the month of sent. most unusual in china. back to you, peter. does that hurt our stock market, the slowdown in china? >> no, i don't think it really hurts our stock market. it might for a day. the real question can the chinese government keep the economy growing. the economic growth only tailed down a percentage point. that is not a slowdown by american terms. by our standards they are totally leveraged. the chinese government has way to put money simply the way the
10:06 am
federal reserve will not do here. we'll have a lot more liquidity in china. some of the liquidity will find its way here. that i think will be good for the markets here. stuart: it clearly indicates if this is a contest over trade america is winning. america, we are still expanding at 4%. they are beginning to, their industrials output is shrinking. looks like we're winning. can we put it in such bold terms? >> i don't think so. i don't think you will find our gdp is expanding at 4% when third quarter numbers will come out. it will be more like three. moreover we're getting significant evidence that navarro has the tariffs wrong. that lighthizer has got the tariffs wrong. sorry, guys, you're my friends, but putting tariffs on bicycle parts not on the bicycles disadvantages american manufacturers. the folks interreassuring, promoting these tariffs are critical of the structure of protection that has been offered up. in a situation where you pay for tariffs on steel tubing for bikes but you don't pay tariffs
10:07 am
on bikes encourages them to offshore production. and that repeats in a lot of sectors. stuart: okay. i'm going to have to wrap this up, but brian, i got to tell you, since you started to talk the dow has gone up quite a few points and we're now up 210 points. i'm not going to say that you did it, brian belski, but if you want to take some credit you most certainly can. gentlemen, appreciate it. good stuff. i want to break it down to all could have individual companies now. first of all proctor & gamble, and then american express. they're both dow stocks. both had very solid earnings reports. both of them are sharply higher. look at that, proctor & gamble up 7%. that is their best single day performance in 10 years. proctor & gamble is a gigantic company. american express, nice forecast there. they're up 3 1/2%. big help for the dow industrials. big tech names, they're surely helping the nasdaq. all of them sharply higher.
10:08 am
facebook's 157. amazon just got back above 18. apple at 220. alphabet 1100. microsoft reaching $110 per share. big tech up today. don't forget oil, not playing. of a role this morning. it is at $69 a barrel. and now this. have i got this completely wrong? i'm watching democrat presidential hopefuls swing out there to the left and i'm thinking, surely, surely america is not going to vote for this? kamala harris just announced a free money program. you don't have to do anything, just be there to take it. $500 a month if you make less than $100,000 a year and $250 a month if you make less than 50,000. you can take it monthly or in one lump sum annually. i call that vote buying at your expense. new jersey senator cory booker last night suggested that canada
10:09 am
is more american than america. he likes their social welfare policies. he signed on for free medicare for all at a cost of trillions and free public college, at a cost of hundreds of billions. i don't think america is prepared to pay for all of this. senator elizabeth warren, she is on board with the same socialist policies. forget the dna test fiasco, look at the money. senator warren wants all large public companies to ask the federal government for permission to do business. they wouldn't get that permission they meet the senators criteria for proper business practices. that is top-down socialism. president joe biden may or may not be running. he is staking out a radical position. he just said president trump doesn't know what he is doing on the foreign policy where is he on the caravan, mr. biden? open the border, let them in like angela merkel let migrants ruin germany and ruin her political standing?

10:14 am
presidential hope if you recalls for 2020. in my opinion they go way out to the far left. in my opinion that is not what the country wants. tammy bruce with us, independent women's forum president and fox news contributor. >> good morning. stuart: i say america doesn't want this. >> you're correct. this is obviously example why people like you come to the country. only way we have people able to achieve the dreams with a economy supports them and free to make choices best suit them. for the left they rely on a bad economy. they have no new ideas. so yes, the answer is, to promise people money. to bring them in, suggest, things are not, they're never going to be really good. the only people that you can trust to make sure you can kind of barely make do is us. we will simply hand you money. stuart: this is nonsense. we have prosperity. we have extraordinary strong economy. >> we do. stuart: the most competitive economy in the world. >> that's right. stuart: only recently, unemployment extremely low.

job openings, 7 million of them. >> this is why the democrats are so unhappy. that is all you need to know about them. midterms, i wouldn't necessary say before kavanaugh i was secure, i said on your program a month ago, pre-kavanaugh we will retain the house and senate specifically because the nature of leadership of the president, his activity within the campaigning, going around the country, reminding people, i think when the democrats are offering to hand out free money, it highlights their desperation. it highlights the fact that they're not engaged. last democrat who really enjoyed governing was bill clinton. that is why you didn't see this kind of behavior. but those days are over. this is still the party of barack obama who was doing also the same thing, relying on a bad economy. i would even argue to some degree creating falsely a bad economy. stuart: rush limbaugh on "hannity" last night said -- >> yes. stuart: the republicans will keep the house. >> i was ahead of him on this program.
10:16 am
stuart: jim jordan, 20 minutes ago on this program, the republicans will keep the house. you're saying it. you said it previously. >> yeah. stuart: you're out on a limb be still. >> these are individual races. that is the key. it is about how the candidate is, how their campaigning what the dynamic support of rnc to these individual but the president's influence is terrific. but beyond that it is not just that he is a personality. it is the strength of leadership now that americans are seeing. and i think that is clinches it for the american people. they like the president, but really this is about him doing what we hired him to do. which is to bring the future back. the democrats are not even, they're not offering that. they're offering chaos, threats, violence. stuart: yes, they are. >> incivility, an end to due process. nobody wants that. they're deluded. stuart: listen to this. this is what rosie o'donnell said removing president trump by force. roll that tape.

>> when he was elected what i wrote on twitter we should impose martial law until we make sure the russians were not involved in the final tallies of. >> bob mueller indicted 13 russians for election meddling. >> martial law. you're a lunatic. >> he wants to send the military to the border. >> i want to send the military to the white house to get him. stuart: well, tammy, what do you make of that? >> that is perfect highlight of what the deem kratz devolved into. my complaint, she is a perfect example of the damage that is done to people because of democrat party leadership rhetoric. this is a person who i believe she believes what she's saying and this is what they have inculcate people with, to be so miserable, so paranoid, so upset they would suggest something like that. but this is again, what you need to know. this is a sad turn of events. the democrats are moving into a framework where they easily say on national television on radio or publicly they think the military should go to the white house and seize the president. and she is not kidding.
10:18 am
that that is something that they're so concerned about, and i think we should also -- you get to a point of not just pity to be concerned that certain people in the public eye have been actually inculcated into believing this. stuart: thanks for being with us on a friday morning. speak your mind. >> i do. i try. stuart: much more coming your way. president trump says it certainly looks like the missing saudi columnist is dead. he started to take a stronger stance with the saudis. question, if they unequivocally, no question about it, if they did it, what is a realistic punishment? i will ask a presidential foreign policy advisor. the migrant caravan heading closer to the border, secretary of state pompeo is here with a message, stop them before they reach america. we're on it. a former heavyweight champ will join me on the set, vladimir klitschko. you have to admit we cover it all on "varney" and we'll be

10:23 am
punishment is the president considering? >> there are couple things being thrown on, including capitol hill, and person seems to be, being considered for that position is the head of saudi intelligence. on capitol hill they're talking about perhaps ending the u.s. refueling mission, that is a mission where we refuel saudi jets that are operating in the war zone of yemen. other possibilities include trying to push the saudis to release dissidents, journalists they have in prison in saudi arabia. some act of contrition that gets us through the crisis. stuart: it can't be too severe. you can't say the crown prince has to go, or we won't do business with the crown prince at all. if you say that, you really do break up the america, israel, saudi arabia alliance to contain iran. sew you can't do too much. >> that's right. i think there is concern in the white house and elsewhere this may be getting out of hand. saudi arabia was already under
10:24 am
some pressure, some skepticism for their conduct of the war in yemen which involved a lot of collateral damage and death of civilians but it is a very important alliance. saudi arabia spends $70 billion a year on defense. that is more than four times what israel spends, most of that is defending against iran. this is an important alliance not to disrupt. stuart: i think saudis have taken an economic hit with that davos in the desert. just about anybody who is anybody has pulled out and that event was supposed to be the showcase on the new saudi arabia, on all new industries they wanted to bring to the country. that conference is pretty much a failure a week before it even starts. i think that is a hit to saudi arabia anyway. >> they ought to postpone that conference at this point, treasury secretary steve mnuchin, fox business, others announcing they would pull out of the conference this was a key part of saudi arabia's sort reinvention.
10:25 am
all these gulf states are focused on what economy they will have when oil is no longer and lucrative as important it is now. saudi is the laggard. it has largest proportion of number of people who are not gainfully employed and on the government dole. this delays that sort of reemerge of mohammed bin salman engages in form of liberalization even as he engages in a crackdown on the other side of the coin. there is progress out there but it has been delayed by this. stuart: we'll spit it out i guess. christian whiton, thanks for joining us. see you soon. recreational pot, as in recreational marijuana, legal in canada, only the second country to make it legal like that. i want to know what it was like to be in canada this week? we'll find out for you. jon taffer, "bar rescue" guy, he says pot, cannabis could be a big plus for the liquor industry. he will be here. he is on the set with me to make his case. we'll be back.

we're much scratching the surface. this will be a massive industry that will involve next couple years. stuart: you have a fund, you invest the money into the fund into various cannabis related industries. you spread it across the board, suppliers, growers, retailers. i guess paraphernalia people, you spread your invests across the board? >> well, few years ago, when the industry really launched, we had companies go ipo'd it started more of the growers. so a lot of companies like the canopies, aurora, they ipo'd in canada came out production side, growing capacity, how much greenhouses they were going to grow. now it evolved into last few years to get more into the medical side, dispensary side. what i'm trying to do in the fund, get away from growers, value added chain into the branding side. canadian investors is the industry really moved from canadian focused companies more towards u.s. companies. there is a lot of companies up
10:33 am
here, but what we're starting to see really raise money in the last few weeks, last few months is more american companies, coming up, doing rto or ipo on the canadian exchanges but they are 100% focused on u.s. companies. i'm starting to do work on those. we all know the u.s. market is way bigger than the canadian market and has much better potential to create brands. stuart: at this point is canada the leading cannabis industry leading country, area? >> canada is the place everyone comes to raise capital. the capital markets are open in canada for cannabis companies to raise funds. i think that is the biggest differentiator. stuart: not in america, right? the capital markets are not available and open in america because at the federal level in america cannabis is a class a drug. that is not a good deal. >> absolutely. so canada has been able to get around that. companies come up here, list on exchanges, to raise fund to come back into the u.s. sounds like things are changing in the u.s.
10:34 am
at a fast pace. companies think in next year the states act could pass which could pass up capital markets for further funding and listing in the u.s. at this point to raise cash you have to list on a canadian exchange, can't list on a u.s. exchange if you're operating in the u.s. stuart: we'll be back to you, i promise. it's a big new industry. you're in it. >> thank you. stuart: i will stay on marijuana, weed, pot, call it what you like. come on in jon taffer, favorite guest on the show, he is back, "bar rescue" guy. good to have you back. >> there are private equity groups funding cannabis community, scott family from miracle-gro. makes perfect sense. stuart: it does. >> there are private fund. there are ways to capitalize but difficult to get public space. stuart: i think of you as "bar rescue" guy, bar, alcohol,
10:35 am
what will that jive with marijuana? how will that tie? >> it is impacting spirits and particularly beer sales. you stay at home, use it, sit on the couch, don't go out afterwards. people are not going to bars, not consuming products. beer sales are way down, they're in the toilet. craft beer is down, premium beer. we blame a lot of it on cannabis. companies like constellation are investing in cannabis companies, looking at cannabis infused beers, cannabis products, even weed ski. stuart: weed ski. >> somebody is distilling whiskey from cannabis. stuart, the federal government will not allow the combination of alcohol and cannabis and t-hc yet. there are a lot of rulings that have to happen. this is look forward. it will not happen tomorrow. stuart: you say beer sales are down and beer guys blame weed, because people stay at home,
10:36 am
youngsters stay at home and -- >> that is one of the blame. the entire sector is down. if you take the word craft, attach it to beer, it is 3% less positive this year than last year, but if you take the word craft and apply it to whiskey, it is 8% higher this year than last year. sew craft beer has lost its luster. these small boutique breweries lost their luster. the beer category is in big trouble. if you walk into a beer company today, their goal is to lose less market share this year than they did last year. there is not one major beer company in america right now that is projecting market share gain. stuart: but, in colorado, for example, i can't walk into a bar and smoke marijuana in that bar or ingest it in any way in that bar. i'm not allowed to do that. >> no. nevada is close to creating that rule. stuart: so you could in fact. >> yes. stuart: you could walk down the strip, go to a casino -- >> yes. stuart: you think -- >> not a casino but certain
10:37 am
liquor licenses will allow it. certain bars will allow it. that is where it will go. certain bars have later licenses, live music licenses, it would be a cannabis-licensed bar. stuart: you're a "bar rescue" guy. you turn bar businesses around. would you welcome that, to welcome a bar where you could sit and smoke and ingest marijuana and drink beer, would you accept that? >> i would. it is eroding my industry. i have to accept the erosion or. i have a choice. many say cannabis will be the fourth leg of the spirits business, beer, wine, spirits and cannabis. stuart: at the moment you say cannabis is cheaper, to get high cheaper using weed than a buzz on with alcohol, is that accurate? >> that's accurate. stuart: extraordinary. jon, font of information. interesting subject. >> always for you, stuart. stuart: if you're not careful you will be invited back.

stuart: moments ago secretary of state mike pompeo arrived in méxico city, meeting with foreign minister there. they will talk about the migrant caravan which is heading north from honduras and keeping them out of the united states. the deal that's being discussed involves sending any of them who do cross into the u.s. send them back to méxico, that by the way is new, my take on that just a little later in this hour. i want to get to the disappearance of the saudi columnist jamal khashoggi, president trump says it is likely that jamal khashoggi is dead and they'll be serious consequence ifs the saudis killed him. blake berman at the white house with more, what do you have now, blake? >> we are in the wait and see mode, stuart, as it relates on what how the white house will respond. you mentioned secretary of state mike pompeo was in saudi arabia and turkey and came over to the
11:15 am
oval office yesterday to give the president a full download of his trip there and the secretary of state said he told the president to let the saudis have a few more days to complete their investigation, that was yesterday so a few more days leads us to believe that there might be some move and potentially by the end to have weekend, the president did say yesterday when he was asked that it certainly appears as if the washington post columnist jamal khashoggi is dead when he was asked what the consequences might be he also said that there could be, quote, severe punishment but as you know, stuart, when the president spoke to you just a couple of days ago he was also keeping in mind things like 110 billion-dollar military deal and arm's deal that the u.s. has with the saudis, so for right now it appears as if we are just waiting on this report to come out potentially here over the next few days, stuart. stuart: got it, blake, thank you very much, indeed. joining us right now robert jordan, former u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia, author of the
11:16 am
book desert diplomat following 9/11. welcome to the program, may i ask you, what should america do if it is proven beyond shadow of a doubt that the saudis did, indeed, kill jamal khashoggi, what should be our response? >> follow president trump's lead and impose severe sanctions, the sanctions could range freezing saudi assets in the united states, prohibiting their public investment fund from further investments in the united states corporations. it could include a pause in our assistance in the war in yemen, stop providing ammunitions, mid-air refueling and could involve individual sanctions against those who have been proven to be guilty perhaps also including crown business mohamed bin salman.
11:17 am
stuart: you would go that far? >> i'm giving you range based on premise that's proven beyond a shadow on a doubt and i think it's likely to be proven even though what mbs's' role was. american businesses need to understand that they maybe dealing with an increasing rogue regime. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for president trump to show his leadership and to show that he really understand and is serious about what he calls severe sanctions on the saudis. he's sometimes accused of cozying dictators and this is one way to show that he will not cozy up to a saudi dictator with blood on his hands. stuart: would it be true to say, mr. ambassador, they, the saudis need us america more than we america need them? would you go that far?
11:18 am
>> yeah, i would go that far, they are not the senior partner in the relationship, we are. we have enormous technology, enormous business opportunities, enormous capacity for foreign, direct investment in saudi arabia and enormous military power that up to this point has given free ride in terms of protection from neighbors, yes, they need to understand who has the leverage in the relationship. stuart: i've just received headline from the washington post, they are saying treasury secretary mnuchin still plans to attend the saudi antiterror finance meeting after jamal khashoggi disappearance, he's not going to go to desert but he will go to antiterror meeting, how would you read that? >> well, i think we have to recognize that we still have an alliance with the saudis that provides some value and protection to us. combating terrorist financing is an extremely important part of that relationship, so i can understand how we might continue
11:19 am

11:30 am
stuart: we are hanging onto triple-digit gain, we had been higher but we will take gain of 127, that's where we are now. next up with, big tech, certainly getting hard hit recently but our next guest saying it maybe good time to buy at least some of them. come on in ray wong, founder of research. ray, i want to go through one real fast, apple, you like it, you want to buy it, where is it going, 219 now? >> 240 by tend of the year, look at the low ratio and the other piece the services part of the business, apple care, all the other areas that are happening around the i store, tall areas, almost 9 billion-dollar business, we think they can take that up to 20, 20 billion by
11:31 am
2020. stuart: okay. amazon, right now i think it's about $1,800 a share, you like it, where is it going? >> you know, i think it's get to go 2,000, one to have big pieces we haven't hit christmas season, they've made a lock in on the workers they need to supply the christmas season, but more importantly when they announced new hq, it'll be low-tax state, they're tired of being shafted by seattle and tax implications, they will probably find low-tax state. stuart: i like the em -- emphatic language there. i won't repeat it. netflix, i'm not sure where it is now, i know you like, 349, tell me where it's going? >> we have seen netflix getting to about 40, one to have reasons it's going well, 7 million subscriber ad, a lot coming international, estimates 9.5 to 10 million more ads and that's driving growth rate and doing
11:32 am
work on content. all big tech stocks have a lot in common, lots of users on daily active basis and they are doing more than one business model. stuart: i'm looking into the future and there are companies may be going public, that would be where you and i could buy stock currently private companies, let me start with air bnb, that's a giant, i don't know when they would go public, you would want to buy into it, correct? >> you do, same dynamics, 5 million listings, 2 million every night being used and it's one of those areas that's worth 31 billion and when they go out, it's going to be more than than air bnb, anything from private jets, rides that uber is in, they have a subscriber base that's huge and a lot of listings and dominant play ne the -- player in the market.
11:33 am
stuart: another company that will probably go public next year and that you like, what do you like? >> cambridge analyticas of the world, what they have a really powerful platform that helps identify patterns that you wouldn't normally see in the marketplace. stuart: data mining. >> based in palo alto. stuart: tell me about lyft and uber? >> lyft is doing about 15 billion-dollar valuation, ride-sharing, ride-hailing service is a market that everybody wants to get into. uber and lyft are jumping with ipo's planned in 2019. they have this thing they have to get out to meet softbank requirements for 100 million-dollar valuation. it'll be interesting if they get there. uber has 75 million users, 3 million drivers, they've done
11:34 am
10 billion rides in 600 cities, that's the type of digital scale you're looking for. stuart: my problem is the initial investors, they get most of the money here as opposed to us retail investors who get in late in the game. i know there's one more, i want you to tell us about it spacex, make your case. >> well, spacex it's going to be a 28 billion-dollar valuation but i think they've publicly said they won't do anything until they take first trip into space, we have to wait a little bit for that one. you want to get in early, i think you have to go to private rounds for that. stuart: i know, probably not going to be there, ray, interesting stuff, we appreciate it. thanks for being with us, sir. >> happy friday. stuart: you're on video tape if it doesn't work out with apple, netflix, you're in trouble. next case, new numbers show china's economy is slowing, have not seen that for a while. joining us curtis ellis, former
11:35 am
trump adviser. this gives president trump a lot of leverage, doesn't it? >> certainly does, we hold the high cards in the round. growth is down, they did not meet their expectations for this quarterly growth and they -- it's actually lower than it looks because what all of the companies have been doing is pushing forward their exports, all of their christmas sales, all of their holiday sales, all of the toys and everything else, they are trying to get them out of the door now so they are borrowing off of future growth so the chinese growth is lower than it looks. stuart: just the other day i interviewed the president and he told me that chinese are not ready for talks, he doesn't want to talk at this point, what he's really doing is piling on the pressure, that's what he's doing? >> exactly. today they announced that he will meet with xi jinping at g20 summit later this month. stuart: that's not official? >> well, wall street journal is
11:36 am
reporting this, some others are reporting it. however, a big caveat unless something happens between now and then and we have seen this before, mnuchin says we will do talks and president trump says we will put tariffs before talks. stuart: this month, before the november -- >> november, the end of next month, november 28th, 27th. stuart: seems to me that china is deliberately delaying this. they don't want to talk before midterms, their desperate hopes that democrats take the house. >> well, staff elections president trump will have every incentive to want to announce to the american people that the trade war is over. president trump has no such incentive, has no such desire, it's actually very popular stance for him to be standing up to china's their repeated cheating and the american people like that, the farmers are standing with them and everybody
11:37 am
else as well. stuart: i understand the concept of face in asia, a leader of china does not want to lose positive reputation. if they would have caved in any way shape or form xi loses face and that's the last thing he would want. >> the solution is simple for china to -- china acknowledges and we acknowledge that china is strong enough now and big enough now to be treated as equal as great powers of the world as we saw postal union, we don't treat china as developing country where they get cheap postal rates, cheaper to ship package from beijing to new york than los angeles from new york, they are big boys, we don't have to treat you like sick sister. stuart: public saving of face? >> exactly. stuart: underneath we would have to get deal where they stop stealing technology
11:38 am
and transfer of technology, that would be difficult to achieve without them losing face? >> as i say, the face saving is to acknowledge that they're big now, they are big boys, on the world stage, they can be treated as equals and the reality is they are going to stop subsidizing industries or accept duties that would come with that. stuart: you don't expect any sudden deal, shining moment, we have a deal all of a sudden, you're not expecting that? >> i don't expect that, no. stuart: curtis, thanks for joining us. keep us informed. individual stocks, paypal, for example, nice gain there, signed up more customers and processed more payments, that's good news, the stock is up 8%. the investment firm wed bush starts apple outperform, start coverage and says it'll outperform. they have a target price for apple of $310 a share, that's maybe helping the stock today,
11:39 am
up 350. the migrant caravan, there's a deal, attempted deal between the u.s. and méxico to stop from coming here to america, remember, the president says he might involve the military if necessary. ly have editorial on that just a moment from now. i say president trump is the one who is taking the initiative here. you'll hear me on that in a moment. state of the art technology, makes it brilliant. the visionary lexus nx. lease the 2019 nx 300 for $339 a month for 36 months.

currently in 110 million vehicles, currently music listeners are listening to pandora oh apple, big news today procter & gamble earnings hit 5 year high for the quarter, big news sending dow higher up 7%, up 73 points right now, s&p 500 up 11. more varney coming up after
11:42 am
this.
11:43 am
stuart: president trump has put the government of méxico and central america on the spot, stop the caravan or else. the president is play august strong hand here. america control it is flow of money, the threat is clear, if you don't stop the flow of migrants, america will stop the flow of aid money and more
11:44 am
importantly remittences. tinny guatemala took 8 billion and méxico 28 billion. well, there's been a quick response to mr. trump's pressure, méxico wants un to set up shelters on its border with central america, migrants will be vetted there, hundreds of miles from america. if they get around that system and make it to our border, we send them back and méxico takes them, that's new. mike pompeo is there right now and he's laying down the law. i think that's a good thing. the democrats here are just plain wrong, nancy pelosi is encouraging the migrants, ignoring the reports of sexual assaults on young girls in the caravan, ignoring the cynical exploitation by the caravan organizers. the left think they can paint mr. trump as inhumane. has anyone asked taxpayers what they think? they have to pay, what do sanctuary california after all 1 foot in the formerly golden
11:45 am
state and they stay forever, we assume the immigration issue is a plus for democrats, might want to rethink that one. can we put that up on the screen, side by side, migrant march across europe in 2015 and the migrant caravan now heading towards america, don't they look rather similar? germany's angela merkel opened the doors back then, changed europe forever and destroyed her political career, today here the democrats would open our door, that is irresponsible and only encourages an endless stream, it is president trump who is seizing the initiative here and so he must, learn from europe, open borders are a disaster. i think we need some reaction. [laughter] stuart: who better to turn to than rnc spokesperson kayleigh mcenany. >> hi, stuart. stuart: i think you, the republicans, i think you want to make this a political issue in
11:46 am
november, am i right? >> oh, there is absolutely no doubt about that, stuart. in 2016, 79% of donald trump's voters voted because of immigration so make this a front issue, nancy pelosi talk about mowing the grass, solution to border problem, please, you are helping republicans so too is the caravan because people are realizing everything that president trump said is correct. stuart: i just feel that the issue has changed momentum. talk about this 6 months ago, especially separation of families at the border that was in favor of the democrats politically, i think that's changed completely because we face the threat of being swamped and i think it's now a republican issue, can i say that? i know you're going to agree with me because you are an rnc spokesperson but i think i'm right. >> you can say that and also what i would note immigration changed for us and became republican issue the moment
11:47 am
alexandria ocasio-cortez started talking about abolishing ice and mainstream folks like gillibrand, the moment this became our issue, the 4,000 person caravan heading toward our border solidified this as republican issue energized republican voters. stuart: i think the president will address this issue head on, he will make it big issue for him. do i want to talk about senator kamala harris, i'm sure you know she's got a proposal for free money, you get 500 bucks a month if you make less than a 100,000 bucks a year and you get 250 if you make less than 50,000, you want her, senator kamara harris, you want her to be the democrat presidential campaigner in 2020, don't you, you want to run against her? >> any of them, i will take any of them, sparticusakamala, free
11:48 am
college, never mind it's 75 billion, free health care, 3.2 trillion, that's their talking point. now free money, you know, this is a democratic platform but all pie in the sky, all will never happen, come to the republican party, we give you tax cuts, more money in paychecks, something we've already done and continue to do for republicans to keep control in congress. stuart: tell me what internal polls are showing recently? >> well, internally poll showing immigration is hot-button issue, i can tell you i talked to data department a few weeks ago, the trump rally effect is really making changes in races out of montana, they saw definitive shift after the president's rally and you talk about marsha blackburn in tennessee, down by 5 post trump rally, she's now up by 14, so this trump rally effect is real it's happening, welcome him to arizona and to texas because we are going to see effect play once more. stuart: only time will tell, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, stuart, happy

11:56 am
drinkers? >> of course, there's the discussion, in reality, how much marijuana can you really smoke and how much is it really going to cost, i mean, you know, 1 cigarette, if you will will cost $5 and you will not smoke the whole thing. you have 1 dollar worth of consumption that won't change the fact that you will drink wine. a lot of people don't drink wine or beverages to get intoxicated, it's social. that's how we socialize. people don't go to bar and pass joint to socialize, we drink wine and we beer is to socialize and refreshing. stuart: beer sales are down, are wine sales up across the board? >> as far as i know wine sales are up. mine are incredible. very fortunate that people buy my wine. stuart: commercial for you. >> that's true, i'm a thankful guy for being able to do this and thankful for being with you here today.
