9:03 am
economic reasons we want to push on -- >> go ahead. >> this is very powerful for getting bis out this is such a big issue for right wing republican it is no question to campaign on wall. wall hasn't been built they have to put up an effective barrier to keep people out illegally it is just a it shall horrifying reminder of how messed up our immigration laws are. >> well said liz pique now look at this, google blocked a campaign ad from gop senate candidate marsha blackburn here's what they blocked. roll tape. ♪ [inaudible conversations] that was blocked. he said no you can't have that on. they were blocked. censored. liz pique why? why? >> this is censorship and incredibly stupid thing for
9:04 am
google to do underfire for a report out actually last month that said indeed their search results are left wing oriented maybe that's because they're just more left wing voices out there. but that's result of an impartial assessment. looking google controls over 90 pcialght of search arranged world this is becoming extremely difficult issue for them because consumers will be okay with that unless they think that is damaging or hurtful or in some way that they abuse what power. this is google abusing that power. >> i think what's so annoying about it liz and everyone is that this actually happened it this is a candidate making of claim that could be dubious. this is actual recorded video under the stop the mob, these are just two xasms of examplinge mob why qowld you block that and why is that happening? >> why is stopped mob shocking content? marsha have been a vocal critic of socially for privacy problem
9:05 am
for bias so this is censorship. with a bias against conservative education and republicans. bottom line it is what they're doing but a job i don't see how google possibly do this job. how do you do that? >> i don't know but it is arrogant. a billion posts day instangtly how do you do that? >> you don't. except you put in charge algorithms so forth to monitor it and that's where the problem is. i think those algorithms so forth they pick up, you know, key words that basically lead to republicans talking points and they eliminate them. >> written by humans. right. we have got to move on to facebook because we've got real news there. higher profits, and that stock will open sharply high per look at that understand about $8, 15 a 4, 5% higher. jim agedder son with social flow is with us now. you say that that facebook report came out yesterday. you liked it. what was so good about it? >> i did people focus on growth rate slowing down and revenues are slowing down although up 30%

9:07 am
amazon is really compelling play for a lot of advertisers. >> so in advertising revenue terms is facebook first or google first? >> i believe google is number one facebook number two and amazon is number three and digital advertising what a difference. i mean just a few years ago weld be talking about advertising revenue to newspapers to tv stations, to cable tv programs. now, it is ad revenue facebook goggle and amazon. >> fewer years ago remember what had google did to yahoo! in a dominant position remember what netflix did to block buster to shift off of advertising. i think biggest risk for somebody line facebook is not regulation or technology but we like to think that technology innovation you know took and google in a come dominant positn but five, ten years from now -- >> monoon ilys don't last long in fast moving technology industry that's the the point. jim anderson good stuff we appreciate it. good stuff. check futures oh you're going to

liz pique still with us. what do you say? >> i think market is factored in democrats taking over the house. but i think it is by a big majorren he's correct. because -- obviously there will be much more powerful block anything that hes will to get done biggest issue about house going democrat is that you've got incredibly partisan anti-trumpers taking over key committees adam shift for example is going to be taking over intelligence maxine waters taking over financial services and promise once you're head of the a committee you subpoena res she's said she wants to subpoena trump financial records, his bank statements all of these things to further impeachment investigations. impeachment related investigations and the problem is we have two year of incredible -- i think that's what's coming. j how many laws has maxine waters -- >> three in 27 years, and one -- three bills -- one maybe wait ones was renaming post office. that's a big one.
9:10 am
>> if democrats won house then maxine waters chairs financial was ises committee gerald new yorker democrat he chairs the judicial committee -- >> the house government ethics and rsm. >> yeah. >> right. and i think it is richard neil runs the house weighs and means committee which writes tax rules he's adamantly oppose to tax cuts of president trump. >> economists is right if they win big we come down on this market. and person has the veto power so -- keep that in mind. >> up on the screen because you kind of like it up 200 points on dow industrials when that market open and nasdaq is up what over 100 points. president trump just tweeted about the markets. okay here we go. stock market up more than 400 points yesterday. today it to be another goods one companies earnings are great. he's right. what did we just say forgive me

9:15 am
there's sol feeling that the president concentrate on senate races. and a may be giving on the house what do you make that have? >> look at the schedule here 11 stops in eight states for pruch when you look at eight different states seven of them have senate races. let me sort of tick through schedule here to look at the map where president is going over next week or so florida later today. missouri tomorrow and then his schedule picks up after that. two stops on friday west virginia, indiana two stops saturday montana and florida again sunday it is off to georgia and tennessee. and then monday finale is ohio, a return trip to indiana, a return trip to missouri. just a little while ago, i asked the press secretary sarah sanders about just that stuart whether or not the president is best served at this point to focus on keeping control of the senate and not necessarily keeping control of the house. >> look we have done a lot for the house. but if you look at those states
9:16 am
there are place where is president overwhelmingly popular in those locations. and that i think the president is best messenger for the party with a credible historic first four years and doing that all over the country for last several months. >> so eight states stuart with senate race -- eight states rather that he's visiting seven with senate races you're wondering about with that one it is georgia. there's a big governor's race there that is or very, very tight. >> there is. all right blake thank you very much indeed. republican national committee ronny mcdamage same question to you. is the president going all out in the senate and about dismissing and giving up on the house? >> i don't see it that way i think president is fight for majority and both i was just with them in north last week wih three battleground depressional seats there's no race or governor race there. georgia, yes there's a
9:17 am
competitive governor race but two houses georgia and one with karen handle a lot of competitive seats in florida and he wants to make sure that he keeps majority it is in the senate and house, and he's making the case to voters. hey if you don't give me majorities in both the democrats are going to come to raise taxes abolish i.c.e. and have opens so i need your help to keep majorities. >> president is coming up with sol ideas policy initiatives at the very last minute. and we would have the birthright are citizenship issue that came occupy yesterday. tax cuts, the week before, the the caravan always on the front burner with new ideas troops to the border. some people think it is kind of a scatter shot approach right before the election. what's your response to that? >> well they were talking about a second tax cut way back in the summer so that's not new. the president is forecasting what will happen in his second two years, i think it is good for people to see the vision
9:18 am
down the road. obviously we have immigration policy crisis in this country, that caravan has brought that to the forefront. we have not seen democrats offering ideas. we haven't even seen what they think about this caravan. but we have a border problem. we cannot have 7,000 people flood our borders we don't have the courts to do that. we don't have border patrol to do that. this is something that we have to tackle and president is the only one leading on this issue. >> you see the internal polls, we've got 6 days togs to the elections. so baring in mind what you've seen tell us how you think things are going to turn out. question one will republicans keep control of the house? >> i think that the republican ares can keep control of the house listen, it is neck and neck in about 21 races across the country. neck an neck so depend on turnout what i'm seeing in early voting right now and early absentee return that we're seeing across country is that we're hitting 2016 levels
9:19 am
enthusiasm is high with dhts but republicans are matching it. and -- i feel good about a lot of these battleground states that we are -- turn ling out our vote so sustain that through election day with the best closer in the businesses and president trump -- making his case in all of these battleground states in the final waning days of this election. so we can keep the house and i think we will keep the senate perhaps expand and gain seats which is unprecedented in first midterm of a midterm president. >> it would be. runner that would be quite a result and see you soon. thanks very much. yes, programming note real fast next tuesday, special election coverage begins at 7 p.m. eastern time on fox business network that is tuesday november the 6th election day on the air at night 7:00. futures -- are still looking good. got to be up about 200 poingts for the dow over 100 for nasdaq weeks ago he sat in oval office with the president now kanye says he's getting away from

9:46 am
citizenship. there's no legitimate legal debate. >> so country, the country for 150 years has interpreted the 14th amendment to provide for birthright citizenship. anyone born here is automatically an american citizen. the arguments to the the contrary are are not serious legal arguments. >> so if he try to go the executive order rout it will quickly be rejected in the court. that's what you're saying. ivelg correct if he tries to go legislatively it will be rejected in courts because president can't change the constitution. and the congress can't change the constitution. only the states can if they ratify amendment that repeals this clause. here's what he's arguing, and here's what those who disagree with the way i've described this are arguing. you have the amendment right there. i'm going to summarize it all persons born or naturalized in the united states. and subject to the jurisdiction therefore are citizens of the united states and the state in which they were born. i think i've quoted it precisely

the phrase and subject to jurisdiction thereof applies to illegals they are subject to jurisdiction of the states they can be prosecuted for crimes they can sue if they're harmed. who in the united states is not subject to the jurisdiction? who foreign diplomats foreign heads of state that's the only exception should a foreign diplomat or foreign agent or a foreign head of state give birth while here? that person is not an american citizen. all of their births for citizenship at the moment of bit. >> just take your hat off as a constitutional scholar and talk to me as andrew napolitano would you be in favor of ending this birthright citizenship by whatever means. well only means could be a constitutional amendment. i would not be in favor it. >> no. i would not. it has worked out absolutely fine. for 150 years and there's no reason to cash it it. there are large numbers of people who come to country as a
9:48 am
pregnant woman deliberately to have a child in america and then get automatic right for citizenship for that child. >> so those people become -- those people are americans. there's american as i am. gaming the system. >> well what gain privilege look citizenship is a privilege it is a right if you were born here, and the government can't start saying you're not american enough. so we're going take your citizenship away that's the arguments that coming through the white house. >> that's not what the argument is. the argument is surely this right has been abused that it should not be abused in this way. that citizenship is a privilege which you work for and which you want. >> no it is not a -- you work for. you get it. i didn't you worked for it because you kale from another country. i didn't. emac didn't and people watch us now didn't we were born here and not something you work for and deserve it is something you get at the moment of birth the president needs to understand that.
9:49 am
>> wrong again here -- [laughter] >> for now. see you later. by the way, i spoke to group in california which you would address two years ago still in love with you. now he tells me. farmers and growers. come with regulation but they love varney take your word for it this is good news end of october good-bye october. hello november. we're up 250 points. general motors big profit in north america. up 33%, that stock up 7.5%. gary will join us on gm what are they doing is right? i am a family man.

9:53 am
not quite the high of the day but we're with holding up there 1% gain 2 06 pint hoyer on this last trading day of that rotten month of october. mcdonald's has hit an all time high, no particular news driving it. but it is at 178 as we speak. general motors, that stock is up, it is profit in north america jumped 33% why it saw a lot of expensive truck and sport utility vehicles in the united states. gary gastelo is here our guy. so what kind of trucks big expensive truck that's what given the profit? >> fact that you see a lot of
9:54 am
expensive trucks in the face of less trucks overall sales are down. market shares down but a new sierra are out hitting it big they're introducing with and making the last generation truck. to fill in bottom end of the market but new ones they have earnings on the floor for two weeks before they're sold. quick turn arpd and this is in the face of kind of mid-land reviews. they don't have all of the features and amenities they don't haul as much as top trucks in the segment but chevy and gm see owners are very -- are very, you know, very -- you know loyal, they're loyal that's the word i'm looking for, obviously, sticking with brand and going for the big cab filledded with luxury features. how much do they cost? >> they start in the 30s. they go up to the 60s and 70s if you load them all the way up. >> i pay 54 thousand for a ford f-150 truck not exactly loaded but kivel i did that one year
9:55 am
ago. 54,000 or dollars. i think i've got a pretty good deal. that's 70,000 for a silverado that's getting up there. most of the truck you're seeing more in the 40 thowrk, 50,000 range that's in the most of them right now but again just not to pick up but suv and transaction prices are up in general. and that's here in the u.s., they're also seeing better sales in china for their vehicles and you know they ripped band aid off last year with ford having a lot of problems. that's gone now that's off the table and things are looking better for gm and asia right now. >> what's that talk about gm they're top selling suv. what's the brand there what's the mark? >> so look, the most expensive ones are the chevy tahoe gm and silverado those vehicles they're again the kind to load up to high prices and still a lot of those as well. they're older, though, silverado is brand new recently drove that myself and cooling into show room so that's getting there. this quarter, is really amazing that they've been able to bring so many profits out of it so quickly.
9:56 am
>> the analysts was surprised at this report from gm. you remember not? >> no i was i didn't think they have enough of these in the pipeline and especially in the face of not just lower sales but higher -- higher fleet sales. interesting stuff. gary thank you very much for joining us as always thank you. right we've got 6 days to go until midterm now look if democrats win a majority in the house they are going to control sol really key committee i think that could make toxic politics even worse don't want to scare you but this is halloween my take on the democrats controlling the committees after this.

10:00 am
committees. since the chair is picked largely on basis of senority, we know who they will be. let me introduce you to the democrats who will become very powerful if the democrats win next week. maxine waters will chair the financial services committee. [screaming] known for her slogan, impeach 45 and encouraging confrontation with republicans, she would be in charge of banking regulations. new yorker, gerald nadler. he would chair the judiciary committee. he wants to reopen the kavanaugh hearings and talks of impeachment. 20 years ago he clashed with donald trump over a new york city development project. they have been enemies ever since. look what is in store. new yorker, nita lowey would take over the appropriations committee which oversee discretionary spending. she wants to spend more. the all morn ways and means
10:01 am
committee which writes tax rules. richard neil is in line to run it. he is vocal of the trump tax cuts. new jersey, frank pallone's, energy and commerce, he wants to reverse trump's roll back of environmental rules, important to add here before we do any screaming any policy changes would almost certainly fail in the republican-held senate. if they didn't stop there, a presidential veto would certainly stop them. policy stalemate is the likely outcome. if the democrats do take over those house committees, they would make a lot of noise. they would hold very contentious hearings. they would start all kinds of investigations, and they would surely go for impeachment of the president to upset his 2020 campaign. in short our uncivil, toxic politics would only get worse. scary? yes indeed. [screaming] but it is halloween. second hour of "varney & company" is about to
10:02 am
begin. ♪ stuart: 700 point gain in just a few hours, up 299. 25,174. gm as we said frequently did very well in north america. profits up 33%. the stock is up 6%. ge as in general electric, got up frayed from ubs. struggles back to $10 a share. big tech names, apple, microsoft, two of the biggest gainers, they are dow stocks. facebook after the earnings report it is up nearly 10 bucks at 156. ray wong, you like facebook, if i'm not mistaken, ray? you said it will go to what,
10:03 am
$200 in 12 months? >> i do. i love them. happy halloween. stuart: why? what is so good about facebook? >> one-fourth of the world's population as users, that is a great foundation. they bottomed out from the privacy scandals, the security breach. i think they bottomed out. revenue shows advertisers are still coming to them. that is the fundamental piece for their news feed. they're trying to move into the messaging, the stories, the private areas. that is where they're struggling along with adding a lot of headcount. stuart: i will stick with the big tech companies you like. i know you like alibaba. make your case. why do you like this particular stock? >> alibaba is doing really well. one thing coming up is singles day which is 11/11. they make 25 billion on the singles' day, one day. combination of cyber monday, black friday combined in 2016 in revenue. they are trading much lower p-e
10:04 am
ratio than amazon. here is the kicker. they're at a 50% low from their all-time high. it is time to get in. i think a lot of opportunities happening there. they have a lot of invests that go beyond just commerce, they extend down into payments, get into some of the networking pieces an investments and media. stuart: two last ones. that will be amazon and netflix. both of them have been beaten down. would you buy either of them? >> i would. i think, i think the tech rout, it is still going on a little bit, if you're on the long haul. it is a good time. you can never time the market. i think there is really good opportunity on the amazon side. we haven't seen the commerce sales. we haven't seen what is happening coming up in q4, black friday, cyber monday, especially on the cyber monday side. prime subscriptions are doing well. they're doing well on the aws side of the house. we're seeing folks jump to google and microsoft for their
10:05 am
cloud needs. on the netflix side, subscriber growth is good, right? the fundamentals. they have great subscriber growth. content is doing really well. those things are factors adding to the most important piece, which is daily active users, monthly active users. we're seeing growth in all the areas. stuart: you make people feel pretty good i have to say after the tech rout. they're coming back at least today, you think they keep on coming back. rhea, thank you for joining us as always. we'll see you soon. >> thanks. stuart: get back to my take. i was talking here at the top of the hour about the democrats who will take over leadership positions if the democrats win back control of the house. [screaming] i think we overused that. come on in charles hurt. he is laughing. he likes it. fox news contributor, "washington times" opinion editor. my conclusion that if the democrats win the house, these democrats chair those key committees, i think the toxic political atmosphere gets a lot
10:06 am
worse. do you agree with that? >> i don't think you can overuse that scream. you will have to bring that scream out an awful lot other next two years if democrats do manage to take over the house but, yeah, i think you're absolutely right. i think as bad as things are, think they get infinitely worse. we've seen just in the last week or two with horrific tragedy in pittsburgh and the events before that with the, the bomb mailer guy, you know, there is nothing that is out of the realm of politics anymore, democrats are quick to blame donald trump for absolutely anything. the press does nothing to try to sort of temper any of that stuff or shed, you know, any kind of balance about any of this stuff, and so i think, that i think you're exactly right. that is a taste what we'll see for the next two years. you will have investigations. stuart: yeah.
10:07 am
>> you will have, it is the resist movement, it is going to take over the house. stuart: i don't think we would see reversal of any of mr. trump's policies from the first two years because you got the senate which probably stays republican and president has a veto pen, but nonetheless it would halt any progress towards more tax cuts or more deregulation. it would come to a dead stop. >> absolutely. i think, actually be very little of anything legislatively gets accomplished in the next two years. the silver lining for donald trump of course is, that i think. i agree. i think senate does remain, he can turn focus to judiciary which is bright spot for conservatives. he can get a lot of judgeships filled working with just the senate. the other side after two years of listening to nancy pelosi and democrats embarass themselves in the house, that will gin up trump's supporters like nothing
10:08 am
else. there will be nothing that inspires them more. stuart: if we have another two years of investigations, probes, subpoenas, committee hearings, and yet, impeachment that could easily backfire because i'm not sure the public really wants all of that? >> no. you know, when you look back at, you know, absolutely the public has a limited amount of patience for any of this stuff, whether you're republican, or democrat, even in cases where somebody, a president has done something that is marginally wrong, take for example, the situation with bill clinton and monica lewinsky, there was a real exhaustion among the public, even though the president clearly lied about the situation, clearly did some very bad things, the public just, they just get tired of it. they don't want to hear about all the politics. they want washington to be a place where people come together to get things done, and functions in a normal fashion. stuart: by the way i don't think
10:09 am
it's a done deal that the democrats retake the house. i don't think that is done deal at all. >> i agree with you. stuart: the trend is very favorable to the republicans at this point. >> fact that the boldest projections are we're talking 30, 40 seats, that is still, so much lower than the 63 seats that barack obama lost in his first midterm. stuart: how about that? charles, thanks for joining us as always. see you again soon. thank you. the federal reserve proposing new rules to govern banks. hold on a second, ash, can you make me understand this? >> basically they want the rules, proportion to the amount and size of the banks. biggest banks, systemic banks with global footprint, all interconnected, they would have most stringent rules. the small regional banks would not have those same stringent rules. this is after the banking
10:10 am
crisis, those regional banks were handcuffed basically the same level as the huge banks. it is very unfair. everybody recognizes this, these flue rules give smaller banks with less after big foot print a better chance, less regulation. stuart: that that is a good sto. when you explain it like that i got it. liz: means loans and credit. stuart: that's a big deal. we have a big hour coming up for you. google blocking a campaign ad for republican senate candidate marsha blackburn. google says it is too shocking for you to see. social media determining what we can see? how about that? we're on it. toss-up race in new jersey, trying to unseat democrat senator bob menendez. president trump holding 11 rallies but not a one in new jersey. will mr. hugin welcome trump in new jersey? i will ask him. the news media coverage is
10:11 am
88% negative for republicans, even worse for mr. trump. we'll deal with that later this hour. because you're watching the second hour of "varney & company." ♪ fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate helps you. with drivewise. feedback that helps you drive safer. and that can lower your cost now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

10:15 am
citizenship. our next guest did you not agree with the president. look at this a tweet from new jersey gop senate candidate bob hugin. listen to this the president is wrong to end birthright citizenship. i took an oath to defend the constitution, including the 14th amendment. we're a nation of immigrants, made better by the diversity of its people especially in new jersey. we need compassionate comprehensive immigration reform now. that was written by bob hugin, joins us now in new york city. senatorial candidate for great state of new jersey. >> great to be with you, stuart. stuart: why are you rejecting the president? >> i really criticized president obama for the executive over reach. he tried to change the economy and restrict business opportunity, doing thing presidents shouldn't do. we should bring together, if we want to change the 14th amendment, change the birthright issue, make sure it is right process. stuart: you don't want to change it? you want to keep it? >> listen, i think we need to fix the comprehensive immigration. we should have secure borders. the fact people are here
10:16 am
illegally is our fault. get the border secured. get things done. get people, building, productive, constructive lives in america a pathway to citizenship. when we have secure borders we can start enforcing the law right. it is our problem. we can do better than we're doing. stuart: now the president is going on, he is going to 11 different rallies, all around the country but he is not going to new jersey. >> yeah. stuart: would you want him to come to new jersey to back you up as a senate candidate? no stuart, we have a senator here in new jersey has been in washington 25 years, 16 of years with democratic president and new jersey who is dead last. we have a senator indicted by the obama administration, bipartisan ethics committee said he violated federal law. abused power of his office, disgraced the senate, corrupt, ineffective, hypocritical. this race is about the people of new jersey. i have to keep it there. the people of new jersey deserve better. we'll give them better. focus on bob menendez versus bob
10:17 am
hugin. listen the president is doing great things for the economy and people of new jersey need to know i will stand up for them as independent voice. new jersey is so you know served for so long, it is time for change. stuart: the official polls made public, show it's a very, very tight race between you and senator menendez. what are your internal polls telling you? >> stuart, the momentum is palpable. our internal polls have us up winning. so. stuart: how many points? this is internal stuff. >> absolutely. stuart: favorable to you, but you're -- >> we don't want favorable internal polls. we want polls who will vote make right judgments. so we plan our ads, strategy, grassroots get vote out a right way. we're up just a little bit. remember new jersey is 900,000 plus more registered democrats than republicans. we don't take things for granted. we will give new jersey the full facts about me and bob menendez.
10:18 am
i'm not product of a party. i want to be independent. i want to put people ahead of partisan politics. stuart: i live in new jersey. when i turn on my tv set, it is just plastered, wall-to-wall with political ads. you're right up there. there is loads of ads for bob hugin. >> absolutely. stuart: did the gop pump a lot of money outside into your campaign? >> no. to be honest with you, stuart, they haven't. i'm okay. my wife and i funded this campaign. schumer has put 7 million. washington about 12 million in ads against me. but, no outside sources other than people who are my friends and my supporters are financing this campaign. we really had virtually nothing from any national republicans. listen, we'll win the race. we'll be an independent voice to serve the people of new jersey. stuart: forgive me for asking, not a personal question, you self-funded, at least part of your campaign. >> most of it. >> you're a business guy. >> i've been blessed. first in my family to go to college. i started home plate like

happens. i don't think america likes it. >> no. if they win they lose, because at the end of the day in two years the american people will be so fed up, i think it will totally backfire on the democrats. stuart: they would stymie any further regulation and dax cuts? they could stop that. >> not deregulation, the president has power of bureaucracy, the second i have is branch. the problem is legislation. the a lot of key legislative items the president had great success on will be stymied by a do-nothing house. stuart: yes, but the house would not be able to reverse the legislation of the first two years because the senate wouldn't go along with it. the president could always veto it, wouldn't he? >> absolutely. they would not have the votes to override. stuart: the worst part is the toxicity of the public disoccur. liz: people are tire of it. as charlie hurt said, in the monica lewinsky scandal. this will backfire on them in
10:34 am
2020 presidential election. stuart: as brad said they will lose by winning if they go to toxicity. >> right. stuart: you have to leave us real fast. thanks for being with us. a pressure. thank you. stuart: check the markets again. i think this is the high of the day, look at that, up 364 points for the dow, that is better than 1%. would you look at nasdaq, it is up 187 points. that is over 2 1/2%. that is big rally in technology. greg valliere, with us, horizon investments chief global strategist. greg, president trump says the market goes down if the democrats take back the house. what do you say? >> i don't think so. i'm not sure i agree with that for one simple reason you just touched on with your previous guest, that is, trump has a veto. trump would veto anything that emerged from congress that kills his economic agenda, raises taxes. so, no, i think markets may worry more if this president continues to be belittle the

fed, says the federal reserve has gone crazy. that is unnerving for the markets. stuart: okay. we're coming to the end of what we'll call red october. i have great hopes for november. because the fundamentals, as we said the underpinnings of the market, profitability, economic growth seem to me to be adjuster risk? >> i think the last few days are really significant to see the market move up by this much. had that not happened, i think there would be up easiness it might have hurt republicans. this rally is a big plus heading into the election. stuart: do you think it will hold? we don't like to predict how the market will close a few hours from now, let alone tomorrow or the next day? >> there is focus, justifiable, how good fundamentals are. we have oil prices dropping. inflation fear is greatly overdone. i think the fed may have to slow its tightening pace in 2019. so the fundamentals still look very good, even though from a policy standpoint i got to be honest, with you, stuart.
10:36 am
the china trade fight. the fed bashing are not constructive. stuart: do you think the china trade fight is the biggest worry on wall street? >> yeah i would argue. china has done a lot of thing to warrant retaliation from the u.s. however, a lot of companies, he specially in in te midwest, rely on supplies in the supply chain are having to slow their plans. i think that uncertainty is not a plus. stuart: but there is a possibility of a last, not a last-minute deal before the election but after the election, there is a good shot at a sudden, quick, deal, no? >> well, who knows. the chinese, some chinese say, we'll try to wait out trump, see if he doesn't get reelected. i don't think that is a smart strategy. i think all of us are hopeful in buenos aires on november 30th we resurrect a personal relationship between xi and trump. i think between now and then the china trade outlook stays quite

your stock goes down, kellogg is down 8%. the migrant caravan, about 5000 active duty troops being deployed to the border. president trump wants to stop that migrant caravan. don't come into this country he says. general jack keane is with us. fox news senior strategic analyst. welcome back to the show. >> always good to be here, stuart. stuart: i believe you were briefed by the commander in charge of all the forces at the border. what did he tell you? >> this is general o'shaughnessy, commander of northern command. they're responsible defending america. what he told me is that despite low morale of people in the first carry van, numbers are going down, the first caravan and second one out of honduras, they seemed to be better organized than anything they have seen before and the second thing he said which certainly is newsworthy, is that they're more
10:45 am
to violence, particularly the second caravan. so they have some concern about all of that as they begin to approach the border. stuart: if our guys, our troops are at the border, regardless of who they are, whether they're engineers, doctors, lawyers, or guys carrying guns, that second caravan, if it's a violent group, they could provoke an incident very easily with our troops. it could end in tragedy, couldn't it? >> it could. here is what they're doing. they're trying to prevent something like that from happening. so the first task they have is to reinforce the port of entries. and, because there are more cars come through there than people obviously. we're putting constantine wire and barriers in the port of entry and gaps around that. the second thing they're doing, they're tracking the caravans. they're tracking them right now with satellite. as they get closer they will track them with helicopters 24/7, also with drones.
10:46 am
the purpose of that, to be able to anticipate where the caravan is going to go. and then, the general indicated he has air force cargo airplanes on stand by, three c-130s, and one c 17, to pick up the custom and border patrol by the numbers, take them to the anticipated spots wherever they are. if they're in remote areas, they will put them on helicopters and take them there. that is basically the plan. then he has got other troops to provide mellow gist tick support for the troops -- medical, logistic support for the troops there and migrants if necessary. stuart: that is respond in the right place quickly and accurately. there is also, we, we have the border patrol warning texas landowners of armed civilians patrolling the border. i guess you could call these vigilantes, our guys, americans, vigilantes. that is the last thing you want. >> well they have always done that but, they are probably more
10:47 am
focused now because of all the publicity surrounding that. we really don't need it. we need to leave it up to the law enforcement officials and customs and border patrol. they know how to deal with this. they know how to deal with the threat level when it goes up. what -- stuart: what you're telling me our troops, our guys will be moved around very quickly to the right place to back up the border patrol people? that is what military assets are being used for? >> military assets move the customs and border patrol around. people in contact are customs and border patrol. it will not be the u.s. military. stuart: under any circumstances? >> let's just say -- stuart: i understand. >> there is always possibilities, unforeseen possibilities. stuart: isn't that the nature of conflict? >> you got that right. stuart: general keen, always a pleasure talking to you. >> yes, sir. stuart: we have a bombshell report from the media research

10:53 am
nephewsed to listen but i can't get enough of it. i used to listen to music on radio when i drove my car. i realize i never do anymore. i think people are so engaged. but i think the negative news coverage of the president which to some extent is, some of it is fair and some of it is unfair. the problem it is all grouped together all the time. so it makes it indiscernible. stuart: mrc, media research center, 88% of coverage of republicans is negative. it is even worse than that when you look at president trump, you know? >> no. i think that's why, that you see such a deep division in the way people are watching and way people are taking in information, because they feel like, that it can't possibly be all bad, right? their gut tells them it can't possibly be all bad. it will be so interesting, watching midterm election, you do see the question about the suburbs.
10:54 am
that is where the interesting election will take place. i talk to a lot of women, in my daily life, a lot of moms, people live in the suburbs of that country, when they walk in, it will be interesting, they will ask how much does horseface really bother me, or care about the economy, small about, how things are going now. in the silence and privacy of those election booths they will make that decision. i think it will be really fascinating to see what is more important to them. stuart: one thing i would love to see is the report i saw yesterday that more people are watching the fox news channel and you, than msnbc and cnn combined. want to take a victory lap? >> when you watch the other channels, they're basically saying exactly -- they're portraying news a way that is so unbelievable and so obvious they're not watching what we're doing. because we are giving a fair
10:55 am
shake, and i think people are, people are drawn to that. stuart: do you think in the era of president trump, that can possibly change? i tend to feel that the media is so dislikes him, is so contemptuous of him, they can turn it around. >> the late great, charles krauthamer, coined the phrase, bush derangement syndrome. everything was blamed on president bush. acts of natural disaster, no matter what it was. people forget that. this is such a unique circumstance. because of the personality of president trump, because he is willing to push back so hard against the people who, you know, just cannot see anything positive or negative, they can't see both shade of what's going on, he lashes out, so he is the different factor, right? there is always been president that hated the press and press hard on the president. clintons constantly said the press was so unfair to them day
10:56 am
in, day out, right? it is uniqueness of this personality that exacerbates both sides. so happy halloween.

11:00 am
stuart: good-bye, october, and good riddance. hello, november. oh, we live in hope. maybe i should explain myself. it won't take long to dismiss october. stock market selloff, gross incivility in our politics and the month ended with the horrific shooting in pittsburgh. fortunately, the month is almost over. so let's welcome november. here's why i'm hopeful. number one, we've got a good shot at a stock market rebound. remember companies are now reporting a huge gain, 25% better profits on average. that surely is good for stocks. number two, the good news on the
11:01 am
economy will keep on coming. america is in a buying mood and the holidays are coming. more jobs, more job openings, higher wages. there's a buzz, prosperity is in the air. okay, i know that you're thinking november won't be so good if the gop loses control of the house. a democrat win would indeed be a problem for the economy and the markets. but the polls suggest it will be a very close election, not a blue tidal wave, and if you check the trend, it is towards the republicans. plus the president is about to start a whirlwind tour of battleground states. there will be 11 rallies in the next six days. now, he did exactly the same thing before the presidential election in 2016. it worked then. he could pull off a win now. just think what's in store for the economy and the markets if the gop does keep the house and maybe increases its majority in the senate. more tax cuts and infrastructure
11:02 am
program and even government spending cuts. so cheer up. there's only, what, 13 hours left in october and november could be really cool. the third hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. stuart: here's a reason to smile. the market is up very nicely, thank you very much indeed. there's a big rally where we are away from the high of the morning. we were up 380 but we're now up 311, but we will take it. come on in. ron carson with the carson group. you tell me what happens to the market if the democrats do win the house next week. >> you know, stuart, i think it's probably in the market. i know you talk about how close it is and trump's definitely going to be out there in the battleground states. i think the market right now expects and we expect that they
11:03 am
are going to hold on to the senate, the republicans are, and the democrats, it will be close, but are probably going to take over the house, and i think the market's expecting that. if you look back, the market likes gridlock. they don't really want either party to be in full control, and so you know, i think the bigger story here is, you mentioned the economy is strong. one of the issues we have, we have a real shortage of human capital. that's going to raise inflation. what's that do to the fed next year. we still think it will be probably three raises, quarter point raises and then of course -- stuart: hold on. hold on. i've got to -- no selloff on november 7th, the day after the election, if the democrats win, no serious selloff, right? >> i don't think so. stuart: okay. >> you know, forecasting a day is difficult. you know, one of the things our
11:04 am
director of research made a great point last week. everybody is talking about hey, we had a 10% correction. we have had a lot of bear markets underneath the surface. it's really been masked by a few stocks going up a lot. so it's been fairly healthy for the market. people talk about this being the longest bull market when, in fact, i think that's pretty debatable and coming to within just a whisker of hitting some of these key what is officially a correction. we think that, you know, selectively surgically picking where you want to go, there are some pretty decent plays on the market. stuart: i just want to get this in. i read your stuff and obviously, you are saying that the fundamentals, as in economic growth, jobs, wages, profits, all look real good, all real strong. why do you say that trade is such a big negative that it overweighs all those good things about the economy?
11:05 am
what's so bad about the trade thing? >> yeah. here's what it is. you read the estimates of what it's going to shave off of gdp and it's not a lot. if you just look at the number itself. but what it does is it can shift psyche. one of the things that president trump did is he gave people confidence that it was going to be -- that regulation wasn't going to continue, the business environment wasn't going to continue to get worse. so well before that happened, the market rallied because of that. i think the same thing with trade. they look at a number, you say that number's not such a big deal, but if we get in a major battle with china, i think it really does weigh on corporate psyches and they are much, much more conservative looking into the future. i think that's the bigger headwind that we end up with. stuart: okay. i got you. i'm sure you saw the results from general motors this morning, their profit in north america up 33% and the stock is up 8% as we speak.
11:06 am
i think that performance in north america suggests we've got a strong american economy. you buying that? >> i do. no, the economy is strong. now, general motors is a different story, i think. if you own general motors, i might lighten or sell my position. there's a great example of corporations are not discounting in order to increase volumes but they're holding the discipline on profitability and we're not only seeing it with general motors, we are seeing this across the board. you also have to ask yourself with autonomous cars on the horizon, with lyft, uber, ride sharing, is that positive or negative for the auto industry. i think you need to look at places that are in very long positive long-term trends, and like we think lockheed martin, great place to be, and general moto motors. stuart: do you own general
11:07 am
motors, by the way? >> we do not. no. stuart: you own lockheed martin? >> we do. stuart: okay. >> we do own lockheed martin. stuart: you have done very well with it, ron carson, if i'm not mistaken. smile, son, smile. ron carson, thanks for joining us. all good stuff. thank you very much indeed. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: now this. this to me is an astonishing number. this is all about this new video game, red dead redemption 2. they have pulled in $725 million in just the first weekend, three days. that's how much money this new game took in. $725 million. k2 interactive makes this game and they say it was the single biggest opening weekend in the history of entertainment. that's quite a statement, i'd say. that's a big number. the stock is up two bucks, about 1.5%. then there's this. the ceo of the simon property group, the largest operator in

11:13 am
tonight in ft. myers, florida. let's get the latest on the caravan. here we have it. there are now three caravans heading towards our southern border. the border patrol is warning people in texas watch out for armed civilians on our side of the border trying to keep migrants out. not exactly good news. joining us is brandon judd, active border patrol agent and president of the national border patrol council. i have to say, this is the last thing you want, armed civilians on our side of the border chasing down any migrants who get through. you don't want this, do you? >> no, it makes it a lot more difficult for us. it's not unprecedented. we saw this with the minute men and the american border patrol in the mid 2000s when we had an unprecedented number of illegal entrants in the tucson sector, but it makes our job more difficult because when citizens see them on the border, they are going to call us, forcing us to deploy our resources to that
11:14 am
area, and potentially causing gaps in our coverage. so no, it's never something we want to see. stuart: just a few moments ago, retired four-star general jack keane was on the program and told us our military is watching the caravan, the second caravan in particular because it's likely to be more violent, they are watching it with drones and satellite. they know exactly where it is. that's good news for you guys because you will know exactly at which point on the border they will arrive at. >> it's extremely good news. when you look at this, the mainstream media is saying we shouldn't have the military, but in reality, we are seeing something that we have never seen before. we have dealt with caravans but we have never dealt with multiple caravans of this size. so we have to take different action. that's what the american public expected of president trump and that's exactly what he's delivering. he is doing things differently and because he's doing things differently, the mainstream
11:15 am
media is castigating him for it. it doesn't make sense. stuart: basically our military will be a logistical force, so that when they know of caravans arriving here, they will fly you guys, border patrol people, in large numbers to that point. that's the military's role. it's not picking up guns and throwing people out of the country. it's a very different role. >> no, they're going to be our eyes and our ears. they will let us know where we need to be, when we need to be there, which will allow us to be a lot more effective. it will also allow us to cut down on the profits of these cartels that create billions of dollars of revenue every year off of these caravans and frankly, they make these people pawns for their own enterprise. stuart: are you confident that with the resources you now have, you can keep them out? >> no. there's no way to physically keep them out because we don't have the physical barriers on the border that we need. again, if you look at what president trump is calling for, these caravans specifically show
11:16 am
why we need walls in strategic locations because again, i can hold my hand out but all they have to do is run right into my arms and then i have to take them into custody. we have to have physical barriers on the border. stuart: how much of the border is covered now by a physical barrier? >> so we've got different types of barriers. you've got vehicle barriers which somebody could just crawl right over. then you have the actual walls. it's about 600 miles of both barriers but we've got a 2,000 mile border from california down to texas, so we just don't have near enough. stuart: brandon, thanks very much for coming on the show. we want you to come back frequently with updates on this because it's a major story. we like to cover it. brandon judd, thank you, sir. appreciate it. >> thank you. stuart: i'm going to move to the markets. bottom right-hand corner of the screen, the dow still up close to 300 points. as for bitcoin, no surprise, $6,200 a coin. by the way, today marks ten

11:29 am
stuart: buy it as a bounceback stock. >> i think it will bounce back. all things are pointing to positive results. they have active users that have increased and earnings are up. they put 9.3 billion year-to-date in r & d. this company has been going r & d by 40% the last five years compounded. stuart: you have not changed your tune. you said this throughout the last six months you have been on the show. what are you going to say about big tech? because they have had a dreadful october. they are bouncing back right now. >> right. first of all, i do buy them. they were down about 18.2% for the month, which is horrible. some have been down 32%, 34% for facebook and netflix. we have to remember we have 499 etfs that are moving lockstep with each other. they have about $1.8 trillion in management. last year it was about $1.34 trillion. so we have about an additional half a trillion dollars that move in lockstep so when the institutional investors are
11:30 am
moving up, they are moving in sync. when they go back in, they move in sync. a lot of my response to the markets going higher is institutional investors go back in, i think things will bounce. we have to remember, third week of october, they pull out $10.5 billion in one week alone, and we saw the markets crash that one week. if they go back in, stocks go back up. stuart: so you follow the institutional investor. they have to move in lockstep because they are all in electronic fix rated firms. >> actually, they pass the basket so when they move the money in, it goes up without regard to valuation. a lot of people have to recognize things aren't the same as before. when we see stocks moving up and down after hours, then we see the next day that they go down with the basket, that's what's going on. after hours, it's primarily retail investors or high net worth, they are moving up with the market or down with the market. then the next day is when we have institutions. stuart: fascinating. you dealt with the market overall, ends the year higher than now. you have dealt with facebook, buy it.
11:31 am
you have dealt with the big techs. you love them. bounced back nicely. how about general electric? not your kind of company. >> not my kind. it's 100, 150 years old. they just moved headquarters a couple blocks from where i live in seaport, boston. this is not a company i buy. now, they are doing good things in terms of compensation so i noticed that. but it's not a company i track. maybe 120 years ago i might buy them. 110 years ago, but not now. stuart: 20 years ago you would have bought them and done very well. now, $9 a share. >> when jack welsh was running -- i did a book previously, getting bigger by growing smaller, we tracked all the fortune 500 companies. there was one company that for 20 quarters consecutively, consistently outperformed quarter after quarter. that was ge jack welsh. those days are over. stuart: how about general motors? >> i'm from detroit. stuart: look at that. >> i'm never going to speak poorly of a detroit based company but it's not an
11:32 am
entrepreneurial company. no. stuart: you are speaking poorly of the company. it's not an entrepreneurial company. >> i mean, i'm glad they're doing well. like to see detroit do well. like to see detroit auto makers do well but it's not an entrepreneurial company so it's not in my fund. good luck to general motors. stuart: you are the exact opposite of a gentleman who appears on the show frequently, dennis gartman. dennis gartman wouldn't touch a technology company with a ten-foot pole. he only buys companies which makes things you could drop on your foot and hurt yourself. >> on average we're fine. stuart: you are the other way around. completely so. >> complete opposites. stuart: you also are a professor, aren't you? my daughter went to batson. she didn't remember you. >> if she took my class, she would. stuart: you're all right. thanks for joining us. much obliged to you. >> what are you laughing at? >> i love the professor because he said i like when you're on set with me, you protect me from varney.
11:33 am
who's going to protect me from varney? stuart: nobody. here's the story we have for the judge. let me read it to you. there is a judge in new york who has ruled that these fantasy sports websites, draft kings, fan duel, are illegal gambling, that they violate the state constitution. so, judge. >> state of the new york enacted a statute that specifically said that draft kings and fan duel are not games of chance. they are games of knowledge, predicting the outcome of athletic contests and therefore, they're not gambling and therefore, they're lawful. guess what? the court decides what is a game of chance and what is not and the court says it is a game of chance, it's gambling, therefore it violates the new york state constitution. when the supreme court opinion came down about eight or nine months ago, it simply said there's nothing in the federal constitution to prevent states from permitting or banning gambling. new jersey permits, new york now
11:34 am
bans. so as of today, you cannot use these companies or their facilities in the state of new york. you've got to go to new jersey. stuart: i don't understand why new york would want to shut them down. i would have thought it was good. >> actually, i agree with you. it's an ancient provision in the constitution and the next step would be to amend it, which can be done in a year. it can't be done overnight. stuart: why do they do this? >> it was a different mindset that wrote these constitutions. new jersey once had it in new jersey's constitution and the voters voted to get rid of it. stuart: nobody is compelling new york authorities to go after fan duel and draft kings. there's no compulsion to knock them out of the box. what the devil are they doing? >> according to this judge, there is in the constitution and just like the president of the united states can't change the constitution with the stroke of a pen, hint, hint, the governor of new york cannot change the state constitution with the stroke of a pen. stuart: so you're back to that. the president cannot eradicate
11:35 am
citizenship birthright -- >> yes. stuart: -- with an executive order. >> correct. he would have to propose an amendment, two-thirds of each house, three-quarters of the state legislatures, it's not happening. this amendment has been in place for 150 years and everyone born here is an american citizen for the past 150 years. some people like you have earned american citizenship. the rest of us just got it by our birth. stuart: wait a second. >> ask rob hugin why he wants taxes to go up in new jersey. stuart: not talking about that. absent all legal and constitutional arguments, absent all of that, you want to keep the birthright citizenship in place. >> i do. i do, but remember, in my world, the social safety net is not the way it is now. stuart: what do you mean by that? >> meaning the money that the government spends on people who are here that the transfers of wealth wouldn't exist. you have to earn your own keep.
11:36 am
the government would not provide you with all this stuff that it provides you with. stuart: that's the way it should be, right? >> yes. yes. on that, the president and you and i agree. but that is not going to change overnight, because the voters want free stuff. don't they? stuart: wrong again. wrong again. oh, dear me. when are you going to jump on board with this president when he's right? don't answer that. thank you very much for joining us. >> professor, i'm happy to protect you. >> thank you. stuart: all things stock are breaking news on this program. listen to this. a new tweet from the president on health care. here we go. republicans will protect people with pre-existing conditions far better than the dems. that's quite an important statement because the democrats have brought up health care as a big campaign issue, and the president is now responding to it saying hey, we will keep those pre-existing conditions. >> my house is burning down. would you sell me homeowners
11:37 am
insurance? stuart: i understand what you're saying but this is politics. you want to win an election. >> the voters want free stuff. stuart: that's very true. you're right. >> the president is getting stuff done and it truly, it's driving democrats crazy. he's getting things done. stuart: exactly. no comment from the professor? >> outstanding markets. stuart: look at this. better sales at yum china. they run kfc and all kinds of other stores over there and are doing very well. look at that. 14% up and a rosy forecast on the health insurer, anthem. that should be good for a nice stock price boost. it is, up four bucks at $270. i think it's the same story with sprint. rosy outlook, nearly up she goes, nearly 10%. how about higher sales at the beauty company that will be estee lauder? up nearly 5% there. however, not such a rosy forecast from clorox and look what happens. down 3% for that stock.

11:43 am
for re-election as germany's chancellor. she's he singendi essentially b out of politics by the migrant crisis. nigel farage joins us now. do you agree that basically merkel is out because she let a million migrants in? >> i said on "varney" back in july, mrs. merkel is history. okay? it's a funny thing. however long you are in politics or business or even as a famous tv presenter, if you make one massive mistake, that's the end. she has led that party since the year 2000. she's been german chancellor for 13 years. the dominant figure in europe. she made one big mistake. based on the germans war guild, the terrible atrocities of 75 years ago, she opened the doors up unconditionally and she's toast.
11:44 am
stuart: what does that now do for europe as a unified continent? >> it's very interesting because you see, she became the top dog in europe after the financial crisis in 2008. she's been the dominant figure. we all know she's on the way out. 's the very doubtful she will stay german chancellor until 2021. and this at the same moment when the italian government are facing up to the european commission over their budget, the eu have told them their budget's too big. the italians have said go to hell. without merkel's authority there, i think what you're witnessing, stuart, you are witnessing the beginning of the end of the euro. stuart: dramatic stuff, nigel. i want to bring up this issue, which we have been talking a lot about here in america and that is the tax that the british propose to impose on american big tech companies. we now learn that the european union is going to water down
11:45 am
that tax proposal because they're scared stiff of the retaliation that might come their way from president trump. i find that very interesting, because that was going to be a big money grab for you guys in europe, and now maybe it's not. >> well, that's right. of course, the whole world is scared of president trump. this one's difficult, because if we get a clean brexit, then what the european union think won't matter. but let me put it to you like this. facebook is massive in this country. it earns huge advertising revenues and yet, the singer ed sheeran paid more tax last year than facebook did. so there is something wrong with this. i think in those terms, i think president trump would understand our point of view. stuart: no, i'm with you all the way, nigel. i said consistently yes, it's a money grab, but it is inevitable. you can't have a foreign company march into a country, make a ton of money, then march out without
11:46 am
paying something significant in taxes. a tax of some form is inevitable. i think you agree with me on this. >> no, absolutely, it is. and there is -- i mean, if you think in many ways about brexit, trump and the new italian government, the populist revolt, much of this is about ordinary decent law-abiding, tax-paying, ordinary folks saying something really wrong, something unfair has happened in society and yeah, facebook really now ought to be paying their way. stuart: i've got 30 seconds, nigel. you made an interesting comment. we are witnessing the unravelling of the euro. give me a time frame. how much longer has it got left? >> if i knew that, i would be out there trading the markets right now. but look, i think this is a head-on collision, a democratally elected government of italy have been told their budget, reasonable though it is, is unacceptable, they must
11:47 am
change. they did it to the greeks, the greeks backed down. these italians, i know these people, they won't. within the next two to three years, we are headed for a major calamity within the euro zone and quite right, too. stuart: we have been warned, nigel farage. you gave us the warning. thank you, sir. appreciate it. see you again soon. now this. i believe he's coming down the hallway as we speak. yes he is. oz pearlman. he blew us away last time he was here. wonder what he's got in store for us today. he's on the show momentarily. looked at chart patterns. i've even built my own historic trading model. and you're still not sure if you want to make the trade? exactly. sounds like a case of analysis paralysis. is there a cure? td ameritrade's trade desk. they can help gut check your strategies and answer all your toughest questions. sounds perfect. see, your stress level was here and i got you down to here, i've done my job.

hold that, hold that, please. stuart: want me to come around? >> cover my eyes. cover my eyes. mix them up, please. i will give you ten seconds. mix them back and forth. make sure they are in a straight line. tell me when you're all done. stuart: i am done. >> make sure the numbers are showing so we can see one, two, three and four. stuart: yes. >> perfect temperature, well moisturized hands, very nice. come back, come back. the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, make sure my eyes are closed. i'm going to turn here. it's very, very quietly, switch any two bags you want. make sure i can't see. ashley, switch any two bags you would like right now. stuart: his eyes are closed. he's got his back turned. he cannot see. all right. it's done. >> here's the way this works. it's me getting inside his head. planting a suggestion. what i mean is if this worked out properly, i got him to switch three and four. which means that one is safe. stuart: oh, my gosh. liz: no, get the first aid kit.
