9:00 am
[laughter] >> that is hilarious. >> great to see you today john "varney & company" begins right now, have a wonderful day, we will see you again back tomorrow same time same place, "varney & company" begins right now, stu you will have a strong open to be reporting on. stuart: see the smile, i see yours, good morning maria and good morning, everyone, let's get right at it, the rally continues and its technology leading the way, tech debt buyers rejoice, you did well, the dow is up 300 points plus on monday and it'll cross the 28000 level this tuesday morning and go up another couple of hundreds of points. the s&p was up one and a quarter% yesterday and it's going up more this morning and a big gang coming for the nasdaq, it is packed with tech stocks up again a triple digit gain, goldman sachs to have to tell you this, goldman is helping the
9:01 am
market, they see the s&p going up another 8% by year in based on vaccine optimism, apple is helping the dow and the overall market as well, david big reveal of new products including a new watch, the stock premarket is up three box, better than 2.5%, we have ray wang back on the show he sees apple going to 150, it is now 118. i'm going to show you amazon, the accounting firm deloitte expects on explosive 25 - 35% gain in online sales this holiday season, amazon is up $37. seven weeks exactly to the election, here's the campaign schedule today, joe biden gets out of his house, there's a headline, heads to florida to address the hispanic vote, top democrats are worried that he's been playing it too safe, bernie sanders wants him to harden up his message and apparently he is
9:02 am
listening, on monday called the president a climate arsonist, strong staff, who is writing his teleprompter, is he in control of his campaign? we will ask, big event at the white house. the president witnesses the signing of two mid east deals, it is a sea change in israel's relationship with two arab states and maybe more to come, the president will contrast these deals with obama biden mid east record. river great show coming for you, a warning to china, a warning to iran and everything the president said on "fox & friends" this morning, "varney & company" is about to begin ♪ ♪ >> the green new deal is a farce, it would cost $100 trillion, that is more money that we could make in 100
9:03 am
years, that is ridiculous, if you look at biden he is reading notes and teleprompters all the time and he does not read them well, then when his guy gets asked about that, he makes a fool out of himself when he cannot answer the question because he knows it's true. stuart: that was the president moments ago on "fox & friends" and he called out for the prompter problems, we will deal with that, my take given by me at the top of the 10:00 o'clock hour. the other story of the morning is money, we're starting with s&p, modest gain at the opening bell, began yesterday, goldman said the selloff is on its way out and by the end of the year that indicated the s&p will be up 8% from where it is now thanks to the vaccine makers, on and mike murphy, what do you have to say about vaccines, you think they're the catalyst for growth of the market? >> good morning, the good news is they are a catalyst, not be
9:04 am
catalyst, there's so many other things that could push the market up, the one negative icy is election risk but half of that you have vaccines, you have the ruling in pennsylvania where they say shutting down nonessential businesses is against the constitution so people are going to go back to work, there's so many positive out there and i agreed with goldman boat were not new hi. stuart: i have new doubts about the vaccine be in a new catalyst for the market to go up more. we will discuss that later, i want to talk to about jamie dimon, top banker in america says the recovery could be short-lived, the economic recovery short line because the lack of a new stimulus deal, the election and a new infection, he is talking about the wall of worry that the market has to climb to go higher but you still think is going higher from here? >> i do, i think the point that jamie is trying to make is there is risk out there, if corona
9:05 am
spikes across the country and we start chatting on businesses again, that is a negative. but i think where i will disagree with jamie dimon, we were gone down that road, if that were to happen which i don't see any statistics that tell me is going to, but if it were we know it's something that we deal with and get over, the market tanked in march and then we rallied right off those lows to new highs within a few months. even if we get a selloff based on one of the things that jamie dimon talks about, it is going to be a dip worth buying and the market will continue to move higher. stuart: hold on a second mike i want to deal with the other big story of the morning which will be apple, big september event kicks off in a couple of hours, susan, what are they going to reveal today. susan: were expecting a new apple watch, new ipad air, maybe so much more, i'm so excited, next month in october, you have to wait for the new 5g iphones,
9:06 am
it will likely get to new apple watches, one that is cheaper so this is called the watch six series, that's what's anticipated. new health features including blood oxygen meters, better sleep tracking, might be more fitness programs for out home during covid, watches her big money makers for apple, they are 140 company on its own doubling in the past year and the watch make it a path of the sales. we are also expecting a new ipad air, the last model came out in march of last year so it's time for a refresher apple, lower price, more affordable than the ipad pro and you get a new sleek edge to edge display, i like that maybe 5g capable as well and the ipad still dominates global capitalist sale and apple does making it the third which is almost second or double the closest competitor of samsung in terms of tablet sales, inc. of this is a taster before the 5g launch next month. stuart: quite a reveal, while i got it.
9:07 am
hey murph, you own apple, everybody got a piece of apple in the stock market, now priced at 118 bucks a share, where you see apple going. >> i think apple will take out the previous ties very soon, that was up on over $130 a share in the people watching at home running into the split, apple had a run from 115 to almost 140 then it sold off from 140 down to where it was yesterday 115, 118 this morning, if you're sitting at home and have not zoned apple when can i get in, you take a 20% holdback, that's the time are you getting, if your long the stock, stay long because as susan pointed out, this watch is not about a watch on your wrist, this is about health, healthcare, 100 million people in this country who are suffering from obesity and apple is looking to tackle that problem, it's not a big problem and not a big potential for apple it's a massive potential
9:08 am
for apple, although it is a watch, it's really healthcare, watch that closely. stuart: i shall remember that, see you again soon, was get the latest on the hurricane. off the gulf coast it makes landfall later tonight, we believe grady trimble is on the ground in mississippi any evacuations. >> the stronger winds and rain are picking up, you can see were in a parking lot in the water is already moving in from the gulf into the parking lot here and that's a real concern in the southern mississippi coast and the storm surge combined up to e flooding not only here on the coastline but potentially in the interior area as well and in biloxi in terms of storm prep, there are a lot of boards upon homes and a lot of businesses closed like restaurants down the street and you can see down
9:09 am
there, those buildings are the famous casinos in biloxi, one a hard rock, every casino in biloxi in the gulf coast of mississippi has been ordered to close because of the storm inches his way toward this area. stuart: grading is in the middle of it, thank you very much, ash come into this, do we have the usual and expected uptake in the price of oil because of gulf oil production shutting down? ashley: maybe a little bit but not as much as you would think, don't forget hurricane laura came through three weeks ago and already we saw a lot of the gold production shut down right now about 21% of goal oil production at 25% of natural gas production has been shut down as hurricane sally slowly bears down, that means close to 400,000 barrels of crude or off-line in about 25% of the natural gas output, that region produces 17% of the u.s. crude oil, 5% of the natural gas output but back to
9:10 am
your point, oil is up ever so slightly today, all thanks to the oil glut and the lack of demand, we have not seen prices rise despite the disruption from the storms. stuart: by the way the price of gasoline is going down, it was 223 national average a couple weeks ago now it is 2.18. i find that interesting, glut of oil. facebook, facebook is launching a climate change information center, lauren are they going to decide what is right and what is wrong and climate coverage customer. lauren: it sounds so fancy, they are going to provide information about climate change based on science and they say the reason is to combat myths and misinformation that are often spread on the platform, most recently we saw this with a wildfire in the west, this is going to be similar to the information hub that they set up about the pandemic and covid-19
9:11 am
and since then facebook has taken down 7 million post for a pandemic misinformation and they also slapped another 98 million with a label, i would say they are not deciding what is right or wrong, they are just saying will give you the information based on science, so you decide. stuart: all right lauren, i will believe you. question, are inviting and joe biden voters getting worried he's reading from a prompter, it doesn't seem accusing control of his own campaign, i will have mike take ethicon for the 10:00 o'clock hour, to the election president trump welcomes the idea, he welcomes the idea of a fourth debate moderated by superstar joe rogue, what if joe biden would expose himself to a joe rogan grilling with no prompter. how did a proposal like this get started in the first place, we've got that story for you, walmart is here, the new subscription service for the

members stand and go, tough free way to shop store, you can use the walmart app and scan your items as you shop and pay using the walmart pay app, it also gives discounts at the gas pumps by the way up to 5 cents a gallon at certain stations, walmart and murphy stations, all of this offers amazon prime which is launched amazingly 15 years ago and now has 150 million members who pay mo more, they pay 119 a year or 1299 a month, to faster shipping a discount and amazon holds the supermarket, a question is, does this, how big is it and can walmart make into the space against that we know is amazon, probably can make its way but the question is it is cheaper and with 15 day free trial, it's interesting to see how many people will be enticed.
9:19 am
stuart: at least they are trying, at least walmart is making trying to go up to amazon, the amazon of delivery and online shopping, at least they're trying in the back to 138 i see, thank you. by the way susan, is walmart still in the running to get tiktok. lauren: they say they are, the reason is advertising to a young growing demographic, that's a lucrative prospect, e-commerce selling is good online to 100 million users in the u.s. and growing, walmart said it would talk further with bytedance and other interested parties, this is after microsoft announced they did not win the bidding for tiktok, it's not clear the oracle is opening the door to walmart that is still question because it's outright sale in the recommendation to a white house. stuart: i don't know whether oracle is going to get it, i don't know whether microsoft will get a piece of the action, i don't know whether walmart will get a piece of action, and
9:20 am
i don't know how much the treasury will get out of this deal, it's up in the air. susan: the talk is a treasury will get the 25000 jobs that tiktok has promised if the oracle deal does go through and headquarters will be based here in the u.s., we don't have anywhere detailing in terms of pricing or what other cut the u.s. government will get in the oracle deal. stuart: one more, tell me about china's version of tiktok, inside china. >> is started in china before elsewhere in the world, they have 600 million daily active users, 600 million daily active users, that is 12 times the number of daily active users in the u.s., there's only 50 million daily active in the u.s., 100 million monthly and tiktok is known to help its creators, they make money, they help the creators make money by connecting them with sponsors which is the reason why tiktok is so popular and in china 22 million creators making over
9:21 am
$6 billion on the social media apps, think of it as a growing moneymaker which is enticing for a lot of the influencers to move to tiktok instead. stuart: none of that china tiktok is coming here. 0 absolutely 0. susan: that's a growth potential that tiktok can offer. stuart: by the way everyone google, youtube is a part of google, they are offering and launching their own version of the tiktok app is called shorts, testing begins in india where tiktok is banned in his experience just countries after that. premarket alphabet, that is the google stock up 15 bucks, that is up 1%. let's get up to sports betting, ashley is going to tell us why draft kings and caesars are teaming up with espn and why that's important. ashley: i think it is a sign that the industry is going, marriage between sports brokers, steamed casinos and online
9:22 am
gambling sites. espn says it will use caesar sports which is provided by william hill, it's a sponsor for fantasy products and draft king will act as the daily fantasy sports games and a sports book provider. espn also launched a recent sports gambling studio at the late hotel in las vegas and draft kings announced michael jordan will be advising his board, big names, big cities, this is where it's going to spite the fact that sports itself is been so severely hampered by the pin to make that so many more states have legalized sports gambling and as a result we are seeing the partnerships come together unless we get sports back online if and when this will be a huge business. stuart: sit in the bar with your ipad or your tablet, watch the game on tv and gamble as you drink. what could go wrong.

9:29 am
phone call and try to stock at the same time, it's allowing you to create more services plus augmented reality and virtual reality built into the devices. stuart: is that such a big thing really?

9:32 am
september goldman knows that deliveries are usually higher in the final month of the quarter and that's where we are in the turn of success is why tesla stock has been so explosive this year, is up nearly 400% and coming back from the single worst state in the stock history last week, it still done roughly 20% from a high from the $500 share pricing and tesla delivering 11000 electric cars in china in july and just to put that into perspective that is more than the next three largest competitors combined so they dominate the chinese market and we have battery day and just a weeks time were elon musk has some exciting things to come and that should be a great catalyst for tesla stock. stuart: i'm sorry i was just checking my iphone.

9:36 am
the belief that the colder weather could result in more cases, but reservations could get a boost from last minute bookings, the august reservations to be made a week before checking in airlines reporting the same pattern with passengers booking within a days of flying, these numbers may not be as bad as they look now but again certainly not a normal year, let's put it that way. stuart: that is an understatement of the century. do you know that.

9:51 am
here, the founder of spin, the electric scooter and bike sharing operation which is owned by ford, you sold it to them for $100 million didn't you, i think you did well, i think you did very well. you are welcome, we have general motors and nikola teaming up in the electric vehicle market, do you think they will be able to go up against tesla. >> i think it's a exciting time in the electric vehicle space and it's accounted for 6.6% of all global vehicle sales and there's room to grow to sedans and pickups and every segment and is a great area to pay attention to right now driven on three factors that i can think of right off the back. in the body technology reaching practical and affordable and
9:52 am
certainly on it segment of tesla battery day on the 22nd period we will all be paying attention to that, second as you pointed out all the financing that's available in the markets coming from funding companies like nikola and third unprecedented times, were all forced to re-examine our everyday habits including the vehicles that we drive and also situations like the wildfires in california making us re-examine things like sustainability and pain were a attention to that. stuart: you make a good point, the electric vehicle market is 2.6% of the overall vehicle market globally, i've heard predictions that it goes to 10% of the world market by 2030, that seems to be not a terribly fast growth rate in ten years to justify all the money that is
9:53 am
pouring into electric vehicles. stuart: i think we will see growth on all fronts and in the segment that i'm familiar with, these are also vehicles, they're just micro vehicles in the form of electric bikes and scooters, we might just have more growth coming from that segment, we have rise up 60% from last seen longer trips towards the bikes to get around instead of cars, let's pick up in different ways and how people move around and change the habits. stuart: do you have your electric scooters, how many markets are they not? >> were in a few dozen markets around the u.s. and we launched in europe as well. stuart: can you significantly grow it? >> i think so were on the cusp in early-stage and not in cities like new york city yet, the big metro which a benefit greatly
9:54 am
and really dense crowded areas. stuart: can you get into new york city? >> we are working on it, providing a safe affordable and easy motor transportation around downtown especially during this time and especially our street are closing to pedestrian traffic, i think we will see significant private in that realm and the next few months. stuart: you are sold on electric vehicles, i don't blame you you sold for 100 million and that's not a bad deal. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. come back soon. stuart: check amazon, why not, they announced a big-name partnership for their luxury stores. ashley.susan: think of high end, they're releasing their pre-fall and fall launch of 2020 this year directly on amazon, people think of amazon for the everyday person and probably for the everyday household items but now
9:55 am
they're going high-end with luxury brands and luxury stores for designer fashion brands, the reason we've seen a lot of the high-end department stores like macy's and lord and taylor in neiman marcus and instead of brick-and-mortar what else can you do, you go online especially with amazon a king of 150 million prime members, this is the new retail that we live in. stuart: is there a day that goes by the amazon does not make an announcement that they're getting into that or this, thomas a daily basis. susan: and walmart+ launches today. 3162 amazon stock is up. next joe biden did not waste any time calling out president trump hammering of the wildfires burning out west. listen to this. >> if you give a climate arsonist four more years in the white house, why would anyone be surprised that we have more america blaze. stuart: climate arsonist, strong words, it sounds like it's in

in your customized view of the market. it's smarter trading technology for smarter trading decisions. fidelity. stuart: in two seconds it will be 10:00 eastern time. now it is 10:00 eastern time. here is what is happening to your money. you will like this. the nasdaq in terms of points is up more than the dow. nasdaq is up 176. that tells you that big tech is doing well. the dow is up 132, above 28,000. the s&p, nice gain up nearly 32 points. happening today, a big event at the white house. the president will witness the signing of two mid-east peace deals. a sea change in israel's relationship with two arab states. maybe more arab states to come with the relationship with israel. the president will make, compare these deals with the obama-biden mid-east record. that should be interesting.
10:01 am
now, who writes joe biden's scripts? he is almost always reading from a teleprompter. so who writes what he reads? this is important because we want a president who is in control of his own campaign and his own policies. nobody puts words in president trump's mouth, certainly not. but joe, he seems like a figurehead, controlled from behind the scenes. case in point. biden's weekend silence as the president barnstormed through the west, joe stayed home, saying very little. democrats got worried. bernie sanders urged him to get out to make a left turn. on monday he did. he called the president a climate arsonist. strong stuff and right in line with bernie's green new deal extremism. the suspicion is that bernie and aoc fed the climate arsonist line into his teleprompter and joe dutifully came out of his
10:02 am
house and read the script this is something biden voters should worry about. democrats put forward a smiling moderate face of the party, but behind the scenes lurks bernie, aoc and kamala harris. this is woke crowd. there is a fascinating op-ed in "the washington post." i never considered voting foretrump in 2016. i may be forced to vote for him this year. danielle pleker. she makes the point. joe biden would be a figurehead president incapable of focus or leadership, who would run a teleprompter presidency with words drafted by the party's hard left idealogues. exactly. i'm surprised trump hating "washington post" printed it. somebody's head may roll. no wonder biden's campaign keeps
10:03 am
him on prompter. it is not just to protect him from gaffs or keep him focused but to control the script. smiling joe stays out front and far left writes what he will say. what the president said about this. president trump: you look at biden reading notes and teleprompters all the time. he doesn't read him well. when his guy gets asked about that, he makes a feel out of himself and he can't answer the question because knows it is true. stuart: liz peak is with us, the fact that joe biden need as prompter for everything, it should be a major concern for democrats, isn't it? seems like he has got to have the prompter that is his security, but at the same time it is his vulnerability as well? >> i think there is no question about that stuart. look, democrats willingly put forward a candidate they know, they have known for months is he is not capable, capable of
10:04 am
mixing it it up with reporters. how will be capable of mixing it up with vladmir putin and xi xinping? this is is an incredible scam perpetrated on the voters. the reason he needs a teleprompter, he doesn't have serious grounding. who is behind all this, democrats saying we know joe, hoping that voters after 47 years think they know joe biden but they don't. he has flipped flop on so many issues, stuart, we don't really know who he is or who is running his campaign. i think this is appalling. by the way it is not working. more democrats are coming out saying look, he has to get out of this basement, rumors or accusations relying on a teleprompter, by the way make the media complicit in this scam, i think it is beginning to alarm voters and the polling is going towards donald trump as a result. this can't happen.
10:05 am
we cannot elect a man who cannot be interviewed, for example, by "the new york times" who has been asking to interview joe biden since april. i mean who would do that? stuart: really? i didn't know that liz. "the new york times" wants to interview him but he is not doing it. >> imagine. stuart: chris wallace wants to bring him on to fox and he is not appeared so far. i didn't realize that he was avoiding everything to quite that extreme. i believe if you tell me. i will believe that. liz, warren buffett's railroad named katherine farmer named first ceo of a major railroad. that follows citi, jane cramer as first ceo of a major bank. all this is just been announced. liz, you were a trail blazer, weren't you? i have to get this right, were
10:06 am
you the first female partner at schroeder a big investment firm? >> yes, i was. i was one of the first females to be a managing director or general partner in a wall street firm. a long time ago, stuart. progress is being made for sure. look i think every major company in america would like to promote women. there are a lot of reasons why there are so few women who attain ceo status. a lot of it has to do with lifestyle. the fact that women have other things in their lives including families to take care of. a great many people, including myself, get to a very high position, they realize their kids are more important to them then their career. i know that is unfashionable but that is the truth. if you're lucky enough to have a partner as i did who can sustain your life-style, support your family, while you take a break, that is a wonderful outcome. i'm lucky i had second or third career after parenting.
10:07 am
not everybody has that opportunity. but look, i think it is great to see women in important positions. we'll see more of them i'm quite sure. but there is a reason why it has been such a tortured journey as it has been. stuart: well, thank you for enduring the torture. thank you very much indeed for being a trailblazer on "varney & company." don't you ever leave please. >> thank you. stuart: see you soon, liz. thanks a lot. >> thanks so much. stuart: we're showing you the markets because we like to and because it is a nice rally. the dow is up 150. nasdaq is up 160. scott shell lady is with us. let me talk to you about goldman sachs, the s&p 500 rallies another 8% from here by the end of the year because of positives on the vaccine. what do you say to that? >> well i think we'll rally because of the vaccine but i don't think the vaccine will be panacea. stuart: i agree.
10:08 am
>> a lot of people won't take it. it won't be effective as anything else. they're not 100% effective. i think right now we benefit from the fact a lot of people take comfort from the fact they see you wearing your immune system on your face. once we have vaccine, people take off the immune systems from the face i think we slow down a bit. folks will be worry, does he have the shot, is he taking a vaccine? is healthy or not healthy? imagine getting in an elevator with that? we'll slow down before we pick up again. as we see with the moves i do agree with them, as we said on the television every single thing i see is depressing makes me sick to my stomach. i wonder where the good news is this world? the good news with ray wang, the guy you had on before me a little while ago. the good news is the greatness and goodness of the american economy of the capitalism. they're voting with their capital. that is what we're seeing transpire in front of our faces. on the other hand we have a
10:09 am
economy with draconian governors with their thumb on everything, keeping people down and dire. we have a mayor in chicago tried to cancel halloween. you know what? we're starting to feel this uprising, stuart. i tell you right now, wait until they try to limit the number of people that get to sit around your thanksgiving table and then the groves are off. stuart: do you think there is a revolt? a big demonstration by restaurant owners and workers tired of restrictions. talk of people in restaurants abandoning the rules, opening up, taking the consequences. do you think there is a strong revolt froing growing here. >> slowly but surely. it's a little bit too late. i know this, every friday and saturday night have a beer and a cigar i have the same conversation with different people. i know that conversation is taking place in every other garage around america. they're sick and tired of it.
10:10 am
faced with the fact i continue to stay closed, who will build in six months being closed on your balance sheet? stay closed loot everything, go out of business, or i fight and goo down trying? that is the america i know. stuart: i leave it right there, scott. you're getting all, you know, chesty, and i don't blame you [laughter] i'm actually with you 100%. i really am. >> well, good. stuart: this is america. come on. stay locked down forever? when are you ever going to be totally safe anywhere for heavens sake? i said my peace. you, do you want a last word there, scott? >> yeah. i will have a last word there, thank you. yeah i believe in the basic decency of the american people just like i did when the brits when they threw out jeremy corbin. they're going to reject this idea of no law and order, anybody can do what they want, they can take it if they don't have it. it is up to them.
10:11 am
i have to believe, come election day the basic decency of the american people will shine through in a massive way. stuart: you're a politician, and i love it. thanks very much, scott. get to jamie dimon. he says work from home has hit worker productivity. that is interesting. what else is he saying, lauren? lauren: he says it is like workers are taking a long weekend every single weekend because they're less productive on mondays and fridays in the beginning, stuart, we thought the pandemic proved to our bosses we can be trusted to work from home. but jpmorgan is saying not so fast. in fact, ceo dimon is urging the senior staff back to the office september 21st. he wants others to follow suit. his argument is this. the office is the best place for interaction organically, creativity. that is how you teach the younger workers. you might think you performed
10:12 am
just as well as the kitchen table but your boss is starting to question that. so you know, i want to keep my eye, i have watched work from home stuff today, zoom, slack, they're under a little bit of pressure. they will certainly be if we start going back to the office fast. stuart: that is very interesting. thanks, lauren. let's get up to speed from apple a few hours away from the big event. what will we see? susan: the stock is up 2%. there is high anticipation for the lawn of event today. no no iphone but you will get a new apple watch and ipad air. maybe a service bundle. people expect that next month for the iphone display. new apple watches, one cheaper. watch six series we'll call it. that might come with health meters, blood oxygen, fitness tracking. work out at home which i'm sure stu is, leaking forward to. watches are a big money make.
10:13 am
apple, 140 company doubling in two year's time. making 24 approximately dollars $24 billion in sales each year this is important for apple. we're expecting a new ipad air. last model came out in march of last year. maybe time for a refresh. more affordable. sleek edge to edge display. maybe 5g capable. of course we'll get the iphones next month instead. stuart: that is fascinating about wearables. bringing all the money in from wearables. susan: ekgs. stuart: i had one last week. 49 days to the election and president trump wants joe rogan to moderate a four-hour presidential debate. you just heard my take on biden and his scripts. do you think he would be able to handle a four-hour live event? good question. biden also taking a page out of
10:14 am
the president's playbook. going to florida to woo hispanics. first president trump taking a hard-line against china, moving to block products produced using forced labor. is this bringing manufacturing back to america? good question. we'll ask him. he is also sending a warning to iran after reports of a plan to assassinate a u.s. ambassador just before this historic middle east peace deal signing at the white house. kt mcfarland next as the second hour of "varney" rolls on. ♪. hi, this is margaret your dell technologies advisor to listen, is to hear more than what's being said...

10:19 am
white house, moments from now the president will witness, witness the signing of two mid-east peace deals. i'm calling this a sea change in israel's relationship with two arab states. kt mcfarland is with us, former deputy national security advisor under president trump and also the book "revolution." kt, the media is almost ignoring this but i think it is a huge deal. it's a sea change in the mid-east. am i going toe far? >> no. you're not even going far enough, stuart. it's a complete game-changer, not just for the middle east but for the united states. here is what happened, president trump set out at the very beginning of the administration, talking about israeli, palestinian peace. every president tried to do it. nobody managed to do it. what has trump done, called an outside in, strategy. instead of dealing with the israelis and the palestinians, he is dealing with the bankers of the middle east. the guys who are funding palestinian terrorist movements. so he is going outside to the
10:20 am
united arab emirates and now bahrain. there will be other gulf arab countries that join the abraham accords in the months ahead. by making peace with the israel and sunni gulf arab nations not only does help us as far as secure oil supplies, even though we are energy independent, but what it also does it is a vote of no confidence that the sunni-arabs have given to the palestinians. ultimately the only way to get peace in the middle east, the only way to solve the palestinian-israeli problem was never go directly to the palestinians but indirectly to the other nations this is huge. stu, think we fought two wars in the middle east over oil. we, our economies have been hostage for 50 years to the supply of middle east oil and pricing of middle east oil. we don't have to be there anymore. plus it has the added advantage of isolating iran. stuart: it stacks up as a huge
10:21 am
deal, does it not? >> huge. stuart: you're a former national security advisor. i want to talk to you about urban unrest across the country. for the moment, just listen to what the president said about this earlier this morning on fox. roll tape. president trump: we have to get much tougher. we're getting weak and soft with a lot of the democrat-run cities. they have taken respect away from police officers. they have degraded them. they have, they have fired them. you look at new york. they fired a tremendous number of police, and crime is through the roof. stuart: as a former national security person, does national security play into this? >> oh, sure it does. if we're perceived as being dysfunctional at home, either political divisions we're seeing unrest in the cities, other countries look at us, you can't even get your act together. so i think it has a huge impact on national security.
10:22 am
maybe not a direct impact but a indirect impact. america is only strong abroad if it is strong at home and it is a cardinal rule of national security and foreign policy the weaker you appear at home the less leverage you have dealing with other countries. so president trump is absolutely right. we have to stand up to this. we have to stop it. the united states has gone through periods of unrest at home. during the vietnam war, when i was coming of age and other periods but you have to get it under control. without getting things in order in your own home it is very difficult to deal with strength and position strength abroad. stuart: well-said. kt, great to see you again. >> thanks, stu. stuart: sure thing, gotcha. more on the subject of urban unrest in our next hour with heather mcdonald, manhattan institute. protesters demand cops let themselves be stabbed or shot. we'll discuss that later on the show with heather mcdonald.

10:28 am
production. china is different type model. it is good thing when 1.6 billion people start spending. stuart: rebounding is. >>ly from the virus. that is a fact. still on china, homeland security wants to block import of products produced by forced labor in china. the gentleman on the right happened side of the screen is mark morgan, border patrol guy. mark, seems to me we're really rapidly approaching a full-scale trade war with china. what do you say? >> stuart that is outside of my purview with respect to any trade war. what i can tell you cpb's purview is, really our statutory responsibility to investigate and identify products and goods being manufactured with forced labor and producing, preventing them from being introduced into our united states supply chain. what we have, stuart, the chinese government continues
10:29 am
really systemic endeavor to use forced labor, specifically targeting the uyghur community and other ethnic minority groups to produce forced labor. it is nothing more than modern day slave labor going on. stuart: senator tom cotton introduced a bill that would revoke china's most-favored nation status. watch this. >> this is year is the 20th anniversary granting china permanent most-favored nation status. something joe biden voted for and still defends to this day. there were pretty fierce debates in the 1990s, chinese backsliding after tianamen square. we need to go back to that approach, to keep pressure on china every year to stop stealing our intellectual property. stuart: mark, really looks like, feels like a full-court press on china? >> look, stuart, make no
10:30 am
mistake, china is a threat. senator cotton is absolutely right. this extends well beyond forced labor but intellectual property theft. the list goes on and on what china is doing that is negatively impacting this country. but specifically right now, i'm very proud of the men and women at cpb, specifically our office of trade who this week, we're just able to add additional five withhold release orders targeting specific entities in the shinzhen region specifically we have reasonable suspicion that the chinese government is using forced labor to produce goods coming into this country. stuart: is this part of the move to have american companies to change their supply chain away from china, go someplace else? >> well it is not necessarily away from china, stuart, but your question is spot on. we are sending a clear message to the companies, any importer of goods in the united states, they have a responsibility here to insure that the goods they're
10:31 am
bringing into this country are not made with forced labor. not that we're targeting china. we're targeting anyone who is using forced labor. right now china at the top of that list. stuart: mark morgan, thank you for being with us this morning. always appreciate it, sir. thank you. >> you bet. thank you. stuart: more on china, i want to talk about the chinese version of tiktok. susan you told us earlier, repeat it, please, they have got more than six -- chinese version. susan: chinese version which actually preceded the u.s. version. it has 600 million daily active users. compare that to the 50 million here in the u.s. that is 12 times more daily using this short video form of social media than here in the u.s. stuart: that is an enormous number of active daily users. susan: yeah. >> this is no part of ticktok in america. susan: completely separate. stuart: has nothing to do with a deal to sell ticktock to oracle. susan: nothing to do with that. this is the, this is the answer
10:32 am
i would say to the u.s. tiktok version. they gave us some revenue numbers last night. they helped 22 million creators make $6 billion. if they get up to 600 million daily active users in china, with country of 1.3 billion, extrapolate the growth rate here in the u.s. and how they help u.s. traders make money in the future. with the oracle deal, we're still waiting the treasury and recommendation whether or not they should be approved by the u.s. president and the white house. indications are if they keep the data secure, that is the whole point of banning tiktok, if they can do that, then maybe they will get the deal through. stuart: my point was that 600 million active daily users is a very successful platform. susan: it is. stuart: we always thought that americans did this particularly well. susan: right, our platforms were the best. this is a good one, isn't it? susan: first time a chinese social media company has been able to crack the u.s. market but i would say also in china
10:33 am
you have 1.3 billion. you have 300 million here. numbers are a little bit bigger in china. some would say with tiktok in the 100 million monthly active users is probably the most lucrative of any users on the planet, if you want to judge it from a dollar amount. users are not equal around the world. u.s. users are worth more because of that spending. stuart: okay. i didn't know anything about china's tiktok and 600 million daily active users. never heard of that before. susan: wow. stuart: thank you for the reveal. susan: there you go. that is my job every day. stuart: lots of green. it's a rally, the dow is up, i'm squinting, dow up 167. nasdaq up 130. big tech doing well. let me show them to you, how well they're doing. facebook is up nearly seven bucks. google is up 36. microsoft is up two dollars. just to satisfy susan facebook is up 2.5%. susan: there you go. stuart: alphabet up 2.4%. susan: that makes sense. stuart: apple .8%, amazon is up

models. here is the concern. we have high tide in about an hour from now. you can see the water already moving up higher than it normally does. the storm is churning water in the gulf. the storm surge combined with how slowly the storm is moving, the rain coming with it, could cause flooding here not only along the coast but localized into thing as well. i want to point out in the background, this is a chevron refinery. at last check yesterday it was still operational. but several oil refineries in the gulf coast have been shut down because of this. one thing i want to leave you, stu, you come this way, you see the pier. didn't know what they were looking at, they heard a cat meowing underneath the peer. they grabbed shovels and digging, you pull ad little kitten out from under there? >> yeah. this man saw her resting on a board under there. he reached his arm in. as far as he could and grabbed her and pulled her out.
10:41 am
i washed some saltwater off her, got her in a towel. i have a feeling i will be stuck with her now. reporter: thanks for doing that. the rain and wind hasn't moved in yet. we saw first rescue of the day. happy ending to report. stuart: brilliant, grady trimble. right place, right time. well don young man, good stuff. as usual a hurricane in the gulf is shutting down oil production platforms. come on in, ashley, i don't see that big of an impact on the price of oil on this storm. ashley: no. because we have so much of the darn stuff. listen, if the storm stays further to the east it will miss of the bulk of refineries in louisiana but that said, about 21% of gulf oil production, 25% of natural gas production, already shut down. what does that mean? well it takes about 400,000 barrels of crude off the market, about 25% of the natural gas output. about 22% of the platforms in
10:42 am
the gulf have been evacuated which accounts for 17% of all crude oil production. all of those numbers aside, we talked about it, stu. there is a glut of oil. oil demand is down. it could drop even more before the end of the year. but we have plenty in reserve. if you take a look at the gas prices you've been talking about this morning the national average down to $2.18% gallon n a normal period, a normal year. gas prices go up when we get these type of storms moving in. stuart: i pay attention to the price of gasoline starting to fall. it is falling at this moment unexpectedly. 2.18 is the national average. thank you, i will switch gears, move on to holiday travel bookings. i think the bookings are taking a hit, ash. tell me more about that. ashley: yeah. it is interesting.
10:43 am
begin with the labor day travel despite concerns over the coronavirus, labor day travel was only down slightly, 5% for 2019. that could change quite a bit for upcoming holidays. according to vacation property management company, reservations for thanksgiving, christmas, new year's eve all down significantly. thanksgiving by 16%. christmas by 35%. new year's eve by 35%. all compared to numbers last year. why? we have seen resurgence of the virus in some areas. that is a big factor. the and the belief that colder weather could result in more cases but reservations can still get a boost from last minute bookings. the trend from august, seeing reservation as week before check-in. airlines reporting the same pattern, saying passengers are not actually booking until days of flying. sew we'll have to wait and see. certainly the trend is, wait
10:44 am
until the last minute before deciding. stuart: spur of the moment travel, i do it myself all the time. thanks, ash. interesting story from fedex. they're aiming to make it easier to track packages but, lauren, i thought they were pretty good attracting packages anyway? what are they doing now? lauren: they will be obsessively good. they're slapping a cheap little sensor on packages. think medical shipments like the covid-19 vaccine. so where the item is can be tracked obsessively in real time every two seconds. so these sensors, they're new. they're bluetooth enabled to connect to a smartphone. at first they will use them for biggest customers in health care, aerospace, and retail. eventually most anybody can use them. they will be used almost hike i said, every package is kind of crazy how we want to know where things are all the time. they do report after the bell, covid has been very good for
10:45 am
fedex. like cyber monday every single day for them. they raised prices, surcharges. we'll see what they have to say about how, we're ordering all the time, if they're going to be able to get us to continue items all the time. stuart: we wouldn't be able to do tracking if not for these things. everybody has a smartphone. you can always track the package wherever it is, i think we like it. certainty of knowing where it is. very attractive. all right. senators will debate whether or not to pay college athletes. details are coming your way. but first we're looking at nfl sunday football. ratings down. is that because people don't like politics in sport? we'll discuss it but the ratings really took a hit sunday. back in a moment. ♪.

the ncaa and congress may be forced into doing something because some of the states acted in this. we're hearing from the chancellor of university of wisconsin, from others, others from ohio state here. five states so far actually passed laws that would allow student athletes to be paid and have representation. the latest, 24 hours agnew jersey governor phil murphy signed into law this type of bill, allowing athletes to be paid for their image, likeness and get representation goes into effect in 2024. california, colorado, their laws go into effect in 2023. ncaa makes $823 million. more from the tv marketing rights. it makes 124 million of ticket sales. none of this goes directly to the student athlete. we might see some states get a leg up, paying athletes, others not. there may be rules that have to be set. republicans in this hearing are saying that if you pay a student athlete then it should be spread across all the athletes. you can't have a quarterback
10:51 am
making $2 million and no one else making any money. democrats say if students should get paid the health insurance should follow the student, get injured for the rest of their life. this is big debate, congress saying if they need to act and rules be set. stuart: going anywhere anytime soon would be my personal opinion on that one. good story. reporter: three years we'll see something. at least a couple of states in 2023 will start paying athletes. stuart: three years will do it. thanks very much, edward. tell on sports, listen to this, sunday night football, only one game and its ratings dropped i think think i 20 8%. the ratings crashed s that because of the nfl's woke opening weekend? -- 28%. >> it has to be. what other reasons were there.

10:53 am
brady. you have to realize i know you're a sports guy, acclimating to a new team. mr. brady had a rough go. the production value, joe buck, troy aikman, that was great. stuart: i watched liverpool beat leads 4-3. that was a much more interesting game. i willi will not bore you with . >> not my expertise. stuart: obviously, pyro. a staten island restaurant had the liquor license pulled for alleged indoor drinking violations, they pulled the license right in the middle of a 9/11 fund-raiser. ashley, take me through it. ashley: shake your head. the heavy hand of government at its very worst. that is saying something. inspector's citing joyce's tavern on staten island, last friday, which was 9/11, during a
10:54 am
fund-raiser for the fun tell to towers foundation. it honors 9/11 victims. some people at the indoor table appeared to be drinking a beverage. another woman at a different table was eating, drinking a glass of wine. oh, no. the restaurant says the woman dripping that wine was a co-owner who was on a break. the party of eight that was cited was actually sipping water. now let me ask you this, stu. is it a coincidence that joyce's tavern is one of two plaintiffs challenging the limits on indoor dining set governor cuomo and mayor bill de blasio? hmmm. i don't believe in coincidences. stuart: you don't believe in coincidences and neither do i. one of two plaintiffs against the governor and the mayor, suddenly get the liquor license yanked, it reminds me of new jersey where they just clobbered a couple of gym owners for opening early. ashley: right. connell: overkill, if you ask me

11:01 am
number two, the vaccine. now, we're going to have more on this in a moment, but as of now, we do not know when we'll get it or how effective it will be or who will take it. that spells out uncertainty, and that's not god. i'm not going to argue with that. number three, dimon suggests that the economic recovery could be derailed if there's no additional stimulus. my opinion on that, look, i share his concerns over the elections and the vaccine, but i'm not so sure the economy needs new government spending now. personally, i think we'd do better if we just opened up the economy and got back to work. what does charles payne think? let's can the man, because he's here with us right now. charles, you heard me there. look, i agree with jamie dimon on the virus and on the election, but i'm not sure we need stimulus. where are you coming from? >> you know, we still have too many people un'em i ployed, stuart. -- unemployed, stuart.
11:02 am
we've made a remarkable recovery but, golly, it's 29 million americans are receiving some form of unemployment benefits right now. 29 million. we're still getting 855,000 initial jobless claims, pre-pandemic is record was 60,000. we never thought we'd approach that number again -- 600,000. we've got certain parts of the economy like this morning, the manufacturing data from the new york fed was, again, fanta tsaic. the housing numbers, fantastic. but we've already seen so many businesses close their doors for good that if we got a vaccine tomorrow, the people that own that buzz, the people that worked there would still be unemployed. i'm of the thought that we need one more push. and i look at it this way, i look at those initial tranches as an effort to save the economy? i would think the next tranche is an effort to push it over the hump. and here's the good news, there's a lot of money saved up. consumer confidence, though, has
11:03 am
lagged. the only thing that's been an l shape has been consumer confidence. it is moving sideways. to get that up, to get people spending, one more shot in the arm, i think with the vaccine would be the ultimate one-two pun of. stuart: okay. the politics that are involved here, do you think speaker pelosi and senator schumer would be willing to give the economy one more push right before the election to get it going again? i think they've rejectedded the trillion dollar republican plan because they really don't want to see the economy improve. now, that's me being rather cynical about poll tugs. >> right. stuart: what do you say? >> i hate to saw it, but -- to say it, but -- [audio difficulty] you know, i really did. i just said there's no way politics will supersede this, and as each day goes on you say to yourself, golly, can they really put poll picks ahead of these people that they profess
11:04 am
to love? while you're eating gourmet chocolate and getting a hair blowout, to really, really, really say you love the american people when some are just not going to have the opportunity. here's the problem, they're not going to have the opportunity to get back into society. and, by the way, many don't. look at new york. the compromise for restaurants is 25%? that's still going to leave thousands of restaurants out of work, going out of business and still going to leave tens of thousands of people out of a job. it's these places and these politicians that are making it most difficult for people to earn on their own that seem to be dragging and stalling the most. stuart: look, this story is four, five days old, but i still can't believe that nancy pelosi says no to an extra $300 a week, no to $105 billion for the schools, no to more money for testing, no to liability protection, no to everything unless you push in 3 or $4 trillion. it's hard to wrap your arms around that kind of rejection of what working america needs.
11:05 am
that's where i'm coming from. last word to you, charles. >> i'm with you a thousand percent on that, stuart. it's just, listen, you had the chance to compromise. we couldn't go 3.1, you didn't want 1 trillion, how about 300 billion? we see what's really going on here, and it's not about any concern for the more than public, it's politics as usual. the focus on getting trump out of office superseding the welfare of americans. terrible. stuart: can i see you on television at 2:00 this afternoon on fox business network?

11:07 am
but i do, i appreciate style and look of u pads, so it's edge to edge -- ipads. you heard greg wong this morning, some people say maybe we'll get a bundling of the services. we're going to get that this time around, probably they're going to save that for the blowoutth in october when they launch those -- blowout when they launch those 5g phones. apple dominates the tablet space, they made up 30% of global sales, and the watches, outselling the entire swiss watch industry in the last year. stuart: you're kidding? >> i know numbers wise, yes. apple watches cost a few hundred dollars. stuart: just a shifting of the markets, a shifting toward the apple watch. >> yeah. wearables. stuart: who'd have thought? >> yes. you get the halo now from amazon which detects your emotions, as you know. stuart: hope it doesn't detect mine.

hold on, it's on your screen now. it's an opinion from the new york post, headline: protesters demand cops let themselves be stabbed or shot. heather macdonald, she's the author of that op-ed. welcome back to the program. great to see you. >> thanks for having me on, stuart. it's great to be back. stuart: you're talking about urban warfare here. that, specifically the horrific shootings in los angeles. what's the end game here? where are we going with this? >> the end game is we're going off the cliff. we're headed towards civil war, stuart. when officers are shot at, when people target officers, they're targeting civilization itself. for the entire summer, cops have been punching bags for rioters. they've been pelted with rocks, bottles for merely making lawful arrests. this weekend we is saw in lancaster, pennsylvania, a man
11:09 am
charged at a officer who had been called to a domestic violence incident with a knife. this is the same suspect who had slashed four people last year. and the officer shot him, it appears absolutely a justified shoot, because this man was using lethal sources against him. and the usual riots, the we sint house trashed, post office trashed, cop cars burned, cops pelted again with rocks and bottles. this is happening across the country on an absolutely almost daily basis, stuart. and unless our politicians above all the democratic class push back against an extraordinarily false narrative that says that police are racist, the police are necessarily and understandably going to start pulling back from proactive policing. they already are. homicides and shoots are up across the country. we are moving towards a state of anarchy if we're not already fully there.
11:10 am
stuart: do you think, real fast, heather, do you think that the democrats' position or lack of position, in my opinion, does it cost them the election? >> you know, outside of fox there's not been ad adequate coverage to these riots and the looting, so i don't know. i don't know if enough of the public are actually aware of what is going on in our nation's cities. if they're paying attention, of course they're going to lose. if they're not paying attention, it's unclear. [audio difficulty] concern about black lives matter is the police. they are saving thousands of black lives as long as they stay fully engaged on the job. stuart: heather, thank you very much for being with us this morning. we appreciate your point of view and well spelled out. >> thanks. stuart: all right. separate stuff, look at the
11:11 am
price of oil. it's up, what, 34 cents a barrel. that's your lot. that's not much of an increase for saying that the hurricane, hurricane sally, is forcing the shutdown of quite a lot of the gulf oil production, the gulf of mexico, shut it down. >> yeah. stuart: so we've not seen -- we've got a glut of oil on the world market, so we're not seeing much of a price rise this morning. but look at this, we're seeing a decline in the price of gasoline. the average price for regular across the country is now $2.18 per gallon, and that's actually down from the last couple of weeks. we have got a glut of oil, and we've got a lower price for gas. how about that? as we keep going, hurricane sally is a dangerous lu slow storm. let's go back to grady trimble in pascagoula, mississippi, with an update. it's supposed to hit close to land today, i think, grady. >> reporter: yeah. right near alabama, about 15 miles from where we are.
11:12 am
and one of the top concerns, as we keep saying, is that storm surge. you see off in the distance there, that's the gulf. hook at this road -- look at this road already flooded, and that's because we're seeing a combination of the storm churning the wart up but also -- water up and also hide tide in about 20 minutes, and this water spilling over into this area. that's going to be a concern for the people who live right along the water here, especially those mansions. they're not boarded up because, certainly, winds could be an issue, but the biggest concern is going to be flooding with this, especially here. not only from the storm surge, but also from the rain that's going to be coming down for likely several days here. it's moving so slowly, it's just going to be dumping up to 2 feet of rain in this area. and i want to leave you with this because you did mention those oil refineries. one of them that is still open is just in the distance there. you can see the towers, the cranes and other mechanisms that they have over there. that one at last check is still open, so it's not one of the
11:13 am
many that has had to be shut down because of sally. stu? stuart: got it. grady, thanks very much. we'll see you later. yes, today marks 49 days, exactly seven weeks til the election, and hundreds of lawsuits have already been filed. seems to me there's no way we get results on election night. how long could it take to clear the legal backlog with this disputed election coming up? we're going to talk about that. and podcast host joe rogan steps into the political arena. he's invited president trump to a four-hour debate. trump says yes, i don't think we've got a response from joe biden yet. we're going to talk about that, for sure. and the markets seeing positive vaccine news as a magic bull. but a vaccine is not a panacea. that's my opinion. you'll hear more on that after this. ♪ ♪

11:21 am
states in a week than joe biden does in a year. we know how important it is for this president to deliver husband patriotic, unifying message without the filter of the mainstream media, because it resonates, it works. joe biden won't lean in and talk about america's greatest because joe biden and the democrats don't believe america is great. stuart: but if you wanted to give -- if he wanted to give your campaign a real shock, joe biden would say, okay, i'll do it. that would be a shock to you, wouldn't it? >> it would but he won't. i mean, that's fine. the fact is this president's going to debate anytime, anywhere, any place. we wanted more debates because we felt like without campaigning in the conventional sense, it's good for the american people to see these two men on stage s and we know joe biden can't do this without a teleprompter whether on stage or in his basement. he just needs the extra help these days, and the president's going to do a really good job regardless of the venue. but i have to say the media is
11:22 am
going to give joe biden a pass. let's be honest, if he walks to the podium and says, hi, my name's joe, they're going to say you've done such a good job. he's been doing this for 50 years, so we expect him to bring it hard, but there's no way he's signing up for this joe rogan deal. stuart: sarcasm is a low form of wit, but i still laugh are. now then, we've got a new finish. >> that saws more about you, stu, than it does me if you're laughing at the low form. stuart: okay -- no -- oh! you're insulting the anchor. you ever want to come back on this show?

recognizes it, calls it out, and he will prevent it if given the opportunity by these mayors. stuart: despite your humor, you'll be back, okay? good luck. >> thanks so much. i appreciate it. stuart: on the left-hand side of your screen, the stock market. we're up 150 on the dow, we're up nearly 150 on the nasdaq. you can tell that tech's doing well. show me the airlines, please. delta's chief says the company has effectively managed its staffing and avoid most future job cuts, but they still want more government help. stock's up nearly 3%. different picture for cruise lines. carnival says in the third quarter they lost $3 billion. a huge amount of money. now, carnival says, okay, their bookings are showing a slight return to what may have been pre-pandemic levels, but they still lost $3 billion, and their stock's down 7%. now this.
11:25 am
where there's positive news on a vaccine, the stock market generally tends to go up. it's often seen as a magic bullet, something that gets us over the pandemic. caution: there is no certainty and, certainly, no guarantee that this is the answer to all our prayers. for a start, when will we get a vaccine that's fully tested and widely distributed? hopefully this year, but it may not be until 2021. now effective will it be? come on, it's got to be better than a flu shot. who will take it voluntarily? some polls suggest only 70% will sign up. that would slow down the spread, but it would not stop the spread of the virus. who will be forced to take it? but -- by that, i mean will children have to get the shot to go to school? will you be able to get on a plane or go to work if you don't take the shot? i can see the lawsuits piling up. remember, the virus is not the buy bonn you can plague.
11:26 am
it doesn't kill everyone who gets it. there are many people who will object to putting anything in their bodies either due to religious grounds or just plain skepticism. a vaccine is not a panacea, it's the start of a titanic court battle that will go on probably for years. all right. we've got 49 days til the election. joe biden just now talking hiss first trupp -- husband first trip to florida as the democratic nominee. and 25 years ago he played the role of the president's son in the movie "first kid." now the actor, brock pearce, wants to move into the white house for real. he's running for president. by the way, he can afford it. he is a billionaire. made a ton of money in bitcoin, and we're putting hum on the show after this. -- putting him on the show after this. ♪ this is decision tech.
11:27 am
11:29 am
11:30 am
11:31 am
kid -- >> unlock the door. >> -- can be the word's worst job. stuart: that was good. it was a 1996 movie, "first kid," about the life of a teenager living in the white house. the star of the move is i have, brock pierce, actually wants to live there for real, and brock pierce, an independent presidential candidate, joins us now. brock, welcome to the show. you haven't changed a bit. no, you have, you look good. look, let's get honest here. you are not going to win, are you? so what's your goal in running as a candidate? >> well, first of all, i'm deeply concerned about the state of our nation. i'm concerned about our collective future. i'm 39 years old, i turn 40 in november, so time is on my side. right now we are laying the groundwork for today and into the future for what i think this country needs most, and it needs a new major platform that
11:32 am
enables political candidates to get into office not from one of the two major parties and not from a third party. this is a platform to enable candidates to represent the people directly so that we can have a government of, for and by the people, doctors, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, around testses, farmers, teachers, a diversity in our government. and there is a possibility of being in the white house next year. i don't have to win the election to become president. if we win a single state in this election, we'll have made history. no independent candidate has ever done that. and if it's a close rouse, it could mean nobody gets the majority of the electoral college vote -- stuart: okay, hold on a second. you made a lot of money, i'm told you're a billionaire. i'm told you made that money in cryptocurrencies, but that's another story. how much of your fortune are you prepared to put into this effort?
11:33 am
>> well, i'm prepared to, essentially, give up everything for the benefit of this country. not in this election, but i'm a father, and i can't take it with me, and i ultimately want to do whatever is best as a patriot for this country. i'm concerned about our future. i believe we're doomed if we don't do something like albert einstein is credited with the statement of the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. i do not feel like we are making the changes necessary to leave behind a world for the generation to follow. stuart: okay. i'm not exactly sure i understand what we need to get it going in the right direction. can you be specific isesome. >> yeah. i think we need a real vision of where are we aiming. for one, the metric that we use to measure success in this country historically has been growth. i think we need three new metrics, life, liberty and the
11:34 am
pursuit of happiness. let's measure life expectancy and hold our government to account, and let's measure happiness like the -- [inaudible] and with those new metrics by changing the incentivization of this country, it could lead us to a brighter and better future. stuart: that's the first time a presidential candidate has ever mentioned the king of bhutan on any program on american television. i'm not joking. i just want to thank you very much for being on the show. very interesting perspective and come back and see us again. thank you, sir. >> happy to be here. stuart: what was that? >> thank you for having me. stuart: okay, i'm sorry. i thought that was a different greeting. thank you very much, brock. see you later. [laughter] okay. getting in trouble, aren't i? all right, some celebrities go to washington, others head to the dance floor. all right, lauren, what -- "dancing with the stars," the premiere, what's this all about? >> yeah. so the star of "tiger king,"

carol baskin, she debuted on "dancing with the stars" last night. are you ready to see it? you've got to see it. [laughter] ♪ ♪ >> okay. it was neither her tiger costume, nor "eye of the tiger" that stole the show. it's an doesment taken out by her missing ex-husband's family. it asked viewers for information about don lewis' 1997 disappearance. it was a pretty moving ad, more so than her dance. it began with his three daughters asking the public for help because ever since "tiger king" became a sensation, the police have gotten more clues into what happened back in the late '90s. by the way, you saw carol's performance, it was the low. ericson: of the night. she got 11 out of 30. stuart: okay. that was still quite a shock
11:36 am
when i saw that, but good story, lauren. >> that's how i felt. i asked if you were ready to see it. [laughter] stuart: yeah. i think i said yes. i might take that back. [laughter] >> isn't that how you look on the dance floor at the christmas party usually? stuart: i have -- >> oh, come on! i've seen those colors on you. don't play coy. [laughter] stuart: i'm in trouble on this show. i really am. i haven't been on the dance floor in half a century. >> 50 years? stuart: i danced with my daughter, both of them, at their weddings. that's it it. >> that's it? like that? stuart: no, not like that. different costume, i might add. i'm moving on, is that okay? >> move it on. stuart: microsoft is -- susan, you can't get it on your iphone. >> no, you can't, but you can get it on our android, it's called the x class from microsoft, the netflix of game streaming. it allows you to basically

stuart: a federal judge ruling that the pennsylvania governor's virus lockdown orders are unconstitutional. look who's here, the very man to address this subject, judge andrew napolitano, fox news senior judicial analyst. all right, let's not go through the legal process here, let's go through what happens now because with, if it's unconstitutional, can i just go to pennsylvania, break the rules without penalty? >> yes. yes. at the present time the governor's orders, stuart -- and good morning, it's always a pleasure to be with you -- the governor's orders have been rescinded. you don't have to wear a mask, you don't have to stay 6 feet apart, all businesses are open,
11:43 am
you can go to work whether he characterizes your work as essential or not essential. and, by the way, restaurants don't have to limit themselves to 25% of capacity. now, the governor with has said hate night he's going to appeal this to the united states court of appeals to the 3rd circuit in invest. he hasn't done so yet. he's probably going to ask for a stay of this trial judge's order. the judge is not going to stay husband own order, so it's really up to a panel of three appellate judges in philadelphia. if they don't stay the order, pennsylvania is free, free of all his regulations. stuart: that really is a sensation. i mean, it's just so out of the blue, so unexpected. isn't it great, i mean, i know whose side you're on, judge -- [laughter] isn't it great to -- absolute and upheld in america these days. i'm sure we're on the same page on that one. >> yes. this opinion actually characterized the right to earn
11:44 am
a living as a fundamental liberty. that has not been the case in the united states of america since 1934. that's not just academic, that means the government has to jump through great hoops before it can interfere with your right to earn a living. it can't say your work is essential and somebody else says it's nonessential. it isn't do that -- can't do that anymore if this case is upheld. stuart: wonderful stuff. okay, judge, 49 days to the election, already, what, 245 lawsuits by our count in the courts already. i say there's no way you get a result on election day. it's going to be delayed significantly. there's going to be enormous legal challenge. it's going to be a mess. i think you agree with that one too. >> yes, i do agree with it. stuart, as you know, both the trump camp and the biden camp have begun hiring lawyers full time. at last count the former vice president has over 250 lawyers on the campaign payroll, experts
11:45 am
in election laws in each state a because we don't know which what states the controversies will arise. they probably will arise over signatures. no more hanging or dimpledded chads, but does the signature on the envelope that contained a mail hundred ballot match the voter's suggest in the government's records. that's what this -- unless one of them wins by a landslide, that's probably what this is going to come could be to, and we'll have a month -- to come down to, and we'll have a month or two bush v. gores in a dozen states. stuart: no way around it, right, judge? no way around it. >> no, there is no way around it. the advent of voting by mail has gone from 40 million voters in 2016 to 80 million. the president is on a jihad against it. the president has demonstrated
11:46 am
problems with it in the past. the states are going forward with it anyway. it's anybody's guess how this turn thes out. i hope when we wake up on the 4th we know who the president is, but i'm with you, i don't think we will know that the day after election day. stuart: got it. judge, thanks very much. we always appreciate it, and we will see you again soon. thank you, sir. >> pleasure, stuart. stuart: stuart varney talks sports. >> okay. stuart: alex rodriguez and fiance jlo have lost their bud e to buy the new york mets. ashley, who won the bidding? >> how about billionaire steven cohen? he put down an eye-watering $2.4 billion to, indeed, own the new york mets. that, by the way, is the highest price ever paid for a north more than sports team. the agreement was finally made with the current owners, it's been a lot of back and forth. but it will now be up to the other 29 other major league
11:47 am
owners to decide whether mr. cohen will be allowed into their club. he needs 23 yes votes to succeed, and he would become the fourth owner of the mets since the start of the franchise back in 1962. according to "the new york post," multiple sources say the deal does not include the mets television network. there was speculation that cohen might try to include that in late negotiations but, apparently, that did not happen. and as you say, the consortium put together by alex rodriguez and his fiance, jlo, jennifer lopez, had been the strongest competition, but they dropped out after being refused exclusive negotiating rights. cohen's ownership vote is expected to come -- . stuart: $2.4 billion, you are
11:48 am
right, that is eye-watering, indeed. all right, let's go to caterpillar. what's this? machinery sales down, and the stock is down over 2%. what's the story, lauren? >> all right. so caterpillar is reporting their fifth straight month lu decline of at least 20% in global sales of their machines being bulldozers, excavators. the biggest hit was in the energy and the transportation sector. so the numbers down 20% in august, but look at that. in north america down 35%. cat seems to be doing a bit better in asia. china's economy is, basically, 90% reopen. but caterpillar is a taking a hit today because this is a sign of demand to build. stock down 2.5%. stuart: not good, but we'll take it. thanks very much, lauren. florida reporting just over 1700 new virus cases monday. that's the lowerrest single-day count in the state since june. that's big news, but you

others were busier than ever, and found strength they never knew they had. we sheltered with the people who matter most, sometimes finding how far apart we'd drifted. we worried over loved ones, over money, over our planet. and over take-out. and we found a voice one the noise out there had kept quiet. when the world starts spinning again, let's remember this time where none of us felt secure, and fight for a future where everyone can. because when the world seems like it's standing still... that's the perfect time for us to change it.

♪ ♪ stuart: seven weeks exactly to the election, and bind is now making his first -- and joe biden is now making his first visit to florida. he's going to appeal to husband panic voters -- hispanic voters. florida senator rick scott joining me now. i can see how president trump would do well in south florida with the hispanics who are largely cuban around miami, but i'm not so sure about oh parts of the state, like orlando, dominated by puerto ricans. new e comment? >> sure. first off, i think it's too late for biden. trump's going to win florida, and here's the reason whew: hispanics want jobs. their just like -- they're just like our families, they want jobs and they want to be safe. joe biden's been around for a lock time. what's he ever done? the democratic party is a socialist party. hispanics are anti-socialism, and joe biden was part of the obama appeasement of castro and
11:54 am
maduro, you know, did nothing to hold dictators accountable. that resonates with all the hispanics, and so it's too late. i don't care how much michael bloomberg tries to sell, it's a bad ad. what's he going to -- all he can do is lie about joe biden because he's soft on crime, doesn't care about jobs, soft on dictators. it count work in florida. stuart: we just reported that yesterday, monday, there were 1,736 new cases of the virus in florida, and that that's the lowest since june. i would have thought that more people would be talking about this, and i also would have thought that this is helpful to president trump. if you have come through the virus and are really beating it down, i would have thought that works well for president trump. >> well, first off, unit hear about that -- unit hear about that on cnn -- stuart: mr. senator, star cam is a -- sarcasm is a low form of wit, and you know it. [laughter] >> they don't like any good news
11:55 am
about what's going on. of course, look, i think the president ought to talk about what, you know, what he's doing. i think our governors, our mayors should talk about what they're doing. clearly, people in florida have listened, they're wearing their masks, they're social distancing, and our economy's getting back to work which is really good. it's another reason why the president's going to win, trump cares about the economy, joe biden cares about growing government. and by the way, he'll have the biggest tax increase in this country. how many people are going to say, oh, yeah, i want more taxes from joe biden? i don't think so. stuart: you seem very sure that the president will win. tell me though, what's the status of the polls right now, biden, trump in florida? >> well, even the public polls are saying that it's a toss-up. well, a toss-up in a public poll in florida means you're going to one by 4-7 points. in my three races, there were never any polls that said i was going to win. i told trump back in 2016 if you're within 3 points, you're
11:56 am
going to win. if any public poll saws you're within 3 points, you're going to win. stuart: many senator, as always, thank you for joining us. we always appreciate it. >> see you, stuart. stuart: more "varney" after this. arket. it's smarter trading technology for smarter trading decisions. fidelity. . .
