9:00 am
maria: had a great day. that will do it for us. great to be with you this one, ladies. that will do it for us. stay with fox business for "varney & co." beginning right now. stuart: good morning. do you know where your stimulus packages? good luck figuring it out as the senate holds both tuesday and wednesday featuring help for paychecks, vaccines and the schools, expected to go anywhere. tomorrow, tuesday, speaker pelosi ultimatum runs out if there is a no deal she's calling a lid on stimulus action before the election and the president says he wants a big deal. no clarity whatsoever, despite that it seems
9:01 am
wall street expects some kind of stimulus. we have another monday morning rally with plenty of green and the dow jones is closing about a gain of 150, but nasdaq up over 100 points. big tech up this morning i think pretty much across the board, yes. it's all green. even though three top executives will be hauled before congress next week, both sides of the aisle angry over big tex wealth, power, influence and serious discontent about censoring conservative opinions as some senators subpoenaed jack dorsey concerning twitters suppression of conservative voice service. on the campaign trail absolutely no change. the president continues his rallies hammering his message home in the battleground states and joe biden will hunker down. he appears to have put a lid on the week staying
9:02 am
home preparing for thursday's debate. that debate is controversial with the moderator who is supposed to be neutral anything but. her family has donated tens of thousands of dollars to democratic campaigns and in the past nbc's kristen welter has been an outspoken critic of the president. the antitrust fix is in. how about this one, 1 million passengers went through tsa checkpoints sunday, the first time over a million cents march. "varney & co." is about to begin. stuart: not quite sure, we should put that on the screen so that i can know-- there it is "new attitude" i don't need a new attitude.
9:03 am
i've a good one already. president trump rallying voters in nevada sunday night. >> i was not feeling good and then they gave me this regeneron, and antibody, transfusion as they say like one hour and the next day i felt like superman work i got up and said what the hell is going on. [cheers and applause] >> i felt like superman or could tell governor to open up. normal life is all we want, we want normal life. [cheers and applause] >> we want to be where we were seven months ago. stuart: i don't know where he gets it from. it's going to be another busy week of campaigning for the president. to rallies in arizona later today. more in pennsylvania and north carolina later in the week culminating with the final presidential debate on thursday. as we said, joe biden has put a lid on the
9:04 am
week, saving his energy no doubt for that thursday debate. let's get the latest on the stimulus. maybe susan can give us clarity. susan: we are less than 48 hours to go to get a deal according to house speaker nancy pelosi if you wanted package before election day. she said she's optimistic after speaking for over an hour with steve mnuchin saturday. mark meadows this morning said he and steve mnuchin spoke twice yesterday on a stimulus plan. i think that is encouraging. amounts haggled over democrats won a chilean and president trump 1.8 trillion. lindsey graham this weekend said he could vote for something bigger than 1.8 trillion so that is good but we have until the end of tuesday to come up with on agreement otherwise talks will continue, but it's unlikely we will have a deal before the
9:05 am
election. with him in a win-win for both sides to help americans put food on the table? stuart: that's the whole point, who gets the credit i mean speaker polo z would like to take credit and so with the president and republicans, but i am frustrated in that you never get anything firm. it's always negotiating, negotiating and even if you get something now, it's not going to affect the economy for some time, i don't think, certainly not in the next couple of weeks. susan: think it's a platform point for the vote. stuart: i think you are correct. lets see if we can get clarity someone else. keith, are we up today especially nasdaq is up, are we up because there is some thought we may get stimulus? >> absolutely, stuart. traders, investors, money movers are talking about this and they can't afford not to take the bet we will get something so like it or
9:06 am
not pelosi, steve mnuchin, who cares but i think many will come onto the table and that's what wall street decided today. stuart: whether it comes from congress, you definitely will get enormous amounts of money put out by the federal reserve, i mean, they are trading like crazy and will continue to do so but all day putting a floor on the market? >> i think they are. they have never meant a printing press they didn't like my think that will be good for the market. ultimately there will be you know what to pay when the chickens come home to roost two decades from now but for now it helps people put food on the table and as soon as we can get the money out it will be good. stuart: hold on a second, keith. netflix and tesla are two of the very big names that will report their earnings this week break it down. >> we have it heavy earnings week ahead, coca-cola, american airlines, southwest some
9:07 am
of the 80, fortune 500 companies that will report with tech-- tesla a big upgrade over the weekend calling tesla a $500 stock, but there's a lot to prove especially profitability after capping off the first full year of making money. for netflix, it's all about subscribers. how many new customers signed up after a record first half of the year ended netflix pretty conservative in their guidance. they only added to and have million, expect only to have million but most analysts say that will be easy to beat. pretty good earnings season despite the high bar for some. their hands been a high bar in his early, only 10% has reported but so far most of those 10% has been by 25% and that's way above the 10 year average so companies are recovering after covid. stuart: that's another reason
9:08 am
for the market to expect strong profits because we have already seen that. i went to go back to keith for second and talk about tesla. you wrote something that i don't understand. he said tesla, it's not about the cars but about the redistribution of electricity. what is that about? >> here's what i think is going on. the game has never been about cars or batteries. it's about rewiring quite literally one of the most comes-- essential components of our life, electricity. @think the game is to distribute power making tesla compelling. it is so necessary to our lives, the fact that utility companies are whining that they now have to get involved tells me elon musk is again two steps ahead. stuart: i have really turned around on tesla and elon musk. keith, thank you. next up let's talk about
9:09 am
doctor anthony fauci. he said this about the president's covid diagnosis, roll a tape. >> were you surprised president trump got sick >> absolutely not. i was worried he was going to get sick when i saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded no separation between people and almost no one wearing a mask. that's got to be a problem and it sure enough it turned out to be a super spreader event. stuart: doctor siegel is with us, the gentleman on the right-hand side of the screen. doctor anthony fauci said he was not surprised. were you? >> i was not at that event and you know if there is no virus in the crowd you won't spread it. i had to say i spent time in the white house and i saw plenty of separation and masks. they handed out masks to us when we came in and everyone got tested. i do think that it makes total sense to have
9:10 am
distancing and even the masks, but i think we can also be overly afraid as a result as everyone points figures and i don't think that's helpful from a public health point of view. stuart: i got it. in europe they have a spike in cases, germany, france, italy with italy imposing new curfew on public gatherings. i don't think you believe that is the right tactic, re- locking down even if it is just hot spots. you don't think that's the right tactic, do you? >> i'm usually against that. i wrote a book just out and let me tell you it's using politics of fear to control the population we are talking about 11000 new cases in italy yesterday, but only 69 deaths. the death rate is not going up, hospitalization rate is not going up and they are using it based on case numbers only, mild cases and scaring everyone. it's one thing to say where he mask, but when you shut down businesses imposing curfews, that will cause not only
9:11 am
panic but tremendous economic cost and it's the politics of fear i'm huge mistake. stuart: doctor siegel, thank you. look at futures again, a monday morning rally. i have been saying this for a long time up 150 on the dow jones, 110 on the nasdaq. eu may remember this mysterious woman sitting behind the president during his townhall in miami. she got a lot of attention. how did she even get into the debate and sit in the front? she joins me next hour and she will tell us how she became a term supporter and what happened to her that night. president trump and joe biden go head-to-head on the final debate thursday with new questions about the debate moderator and her reported ties to the democrat party. we will tell you all about it. i have to tell you this, she's not neutral.

stuart: well, well, well, october 19. i bet susan doesn't remember what this is an anniversary of. susan: black monday, 1987, still the single worst today for the stock market dow jones lost nearly a quarter of its value in one single session, 508-point drop, which today trading at much higher levels and we are so used to the 1000-point swings, but back then it was a lot. panicking thinking it was 1929 all over again it took about two years
9:17 am
to recover compared to a few months this year to recover from the covid. we also have more bullish news. hedge funds have pulled back. we had a hedge bond buying and rushing to buy contracts betting big tech stocks would fall, the most in 13 years last week, but now closing out of the contracts meaning tech stocks should go up at least today. i see apple, amazon up 1% at the open. stuart: this is short covering which means stocks go up because you have to buy a them and they go out. got that. days away from the final debate. presidential debate this thursday through debate topics as laid out by the moderator: the virus, race, climate change and national security. what about the economy or hunter biden?
9:18 am
not on this list and nbc white house correspondent kristen welker is the moderator and her family has long-standing ties to the democratic party. mike huckabee is with us. governor, bearing in mind it's likely to be a hostile moderator, what advice would you get to the president for this debate? >> i think it has to ignore a lot of the stupid questions he will be asked to make-- take his message to the people. is high time we scuttled this debate over mission nonsense. it's ridiculous. here's how it ought to work and i'm speaking from some persons perspective that has been on the debate stage, get rid of the moderator. have a timekeeper took each candidate gets two minutes opening statements and then each has alternating options to speak with no clock on them other than they have a total amount of time each whether it's 43 minutes or whatever and when they use that time up they are done.
9:19 am
if they enter at the other candidate while he's speaking, their clock goes on and it's against their time. at the end of their allotted time, exactly equal to the other they have two minutes to close at and there's no moderator took a day pick the topics, not some biased so-called journalist that has no business being on the stage with two people who went through the process and became their party's nominee. you can fix it that way and you have a debate. stuart: on that note you said so-called journalist, want to show our audience some questions that kristen welker has asked this administration. bear with us, governor. rolled tape. >> giving russian president vladimir putin the upper hand? doctor if he thought she said the lag in testing was in fact a failing. do you take responsibility? in this tweet he said out he was not condoning
9:20 am
violence. >> should and the president have facts before he tweets being the president of the united states? stuart: governor, your response to that? >> i think she will walk in with a hammer in her left hand for president trump and a bottle of oil in her right hand for joe biden and she will give him a back rub the entire evening. that's what we are in for. it's ridiculous and it needs to stop. stuart: the bias is so obvious and it's all across mainstream media. it's universal. hate trump and biden can do no wrong. i've never seen anything like it in 45 years of america. last 45 seconds to use the mac it's time to get rid of the debate commission and take this with a grain of salt, but recognize donald trump has an opportunity to show the american people that he can talk about the issues that matter to them, not to a
9:21 am
moderator. stuart: well said, governor huckabee, thank you for joining us. see you soon, i hope. >> thank you. stuart: ibm will report their earnings "after the bell" this afternoon. what are we looking for? susan: spinning off its older infrastructure while keeping its cloud business intact. ibm profit sales will likely be down compared to last year so clients delayed projects and reduced business spending. another test is the red hat, how much did that boost ibm cloud footprint? they are looking at the mic it-- market value worth $100 million plus pure cloud play, i didn't test you on what hybrid cloud is did i?
9:22 am
stuart: i'm glad you didn't. i have no idea what it is. you mentioned hybrid cloud. susan: yes. i would say it's slower growth and amazon is more dominant in pure cloud play. stuart: i would be interested to see what they say on the call because i want to know what they're looking for the future if they can discern anything. susan: i think they are just trying to stay relevant at this point. i'm not saying it personally. stuart: 5% of amazon. susan: yes. stuart: going up this morning, monday morning rally especially the nasdaq, 120 points higher, 11019. that's where we are back to, that's a rally. back at a moment ♪

stuart: quickly checking the markets as we go up with opening bell in about three and half minutes and here is ed chrystal. ed, i know what you are saying. you are saying this bull market continues into 2021. what is that based on? >> it's based on a mosaic of information, but what's changed in
9:27 am
the last couple weeks gets down to the technical indicators, the price action of the market and there are two things in particular. one, over the last few weeks you have gotten a short-term what we call a thrust indicator kind of a funny term and that means a lot of stocks moved up together. we had that coming up march lows in another signal in the last couple of weeks secondly, our longer-term technical indicators for example stocks above their 200 day average. is now close to 75% so in the confirmation more and more stocks are long-term uptrends at the same time we have that a lot of stocks are moving up short-term so that's a powerful combination. stuart: you are one of those guys that studies the charts, that's what you do. you are a technical analyst looking you say the market is telling you from the charts, so i guess you don't care if joe biden wins and the democrats retake the
9:28 am
senate. you don't care about that? >> we do look at all of it, but if you want to take a whole store: how political analysis, usually it's more of a sentiment gauge than a long-term trend, so if for example after the republican party-- has lost the white house, the year-end rally tends to be weaker than say if a republican were to retain the white house, but a lot of that is reversed in the next year. what it really means is that maybe if there are fears over one party winning and doing something that may not work the checks and balances usually work out and do so even if republicans are in the minority in the senate, they could potentially block more progressive policies that a biden administration may try to push through. stuart: are your charge as your technical analysis is it telling you in the next two months november and december will hit new highs on the major indicators?
9:29 am
>> yes, using the historical data and analysis its adjust the snp should have a new high by year end. stuart: fascinating. ed, thank you for joining us. we don't have many chart guys on the show, but you may be the first in several years, but you made a lot about cents. you made me understand it. well done, young man. code to see you again soon. if you're charts don't work you will really be back again to answer for yourself. susan: he didn't ask about the head and shoulder formation on these charts. i was listening in and i think there is room for disappointment. it's rallying the stock market after a dismal september and people are putting vaccine hopes front and center as opposed to say that election. we were probably down the worst september in over a decade because people were concerned about a contested election, but if we have a vaccine approved by
9:30 am
the end of the year i think it will help rally. stuart: what worries me is how many people will take the vaccine once it's approved. what portion of the population will take it voluntarily? susan: there is room for disappointment for sure. stuart: the bell is ringing and in three, two, one it will be 9:30 a.m. and we will get the market opened for trading. right from the start we are in the green. and a lot of stocks are not yet open your cure they go. up 80 points) the start. 28686 is where you are, fractional gain of about a quarter of a percent. s&p 500 given the percentage gain of about a third so that's a bit better. nasdaq guaranteed a strong game. here you go, up one half of 1%. solid gain their. big tech is doing well in the dow jones up
9:31 am
exactly 100 points. show me the vaccine makers, please. there is optimism about the vaccine and approval of it. wait a minute, you have news on center jean. susan: they make a rapid tests based on a molecular test and the fda has signed off on emergency use of the new rapid test for asymptomatic individuals so those that are not coughing or sneezing, you take the rapid test of you get rapid results wishes him for it and we have the stock up 10% in premarket. stuart: the wire service says real-time. that means you take the test and you get the results right now. susan: rapid test meaning you get the results right away which is important widespread testing to improve the containment of the covid. stuart: that really opens the door. susan: for asymptomatic i think
9:32 am
is the important part. stuart: stock is up 8%. another 3% as we were talking. big tech ceo is being called in front of the senate again i think next week. susan: no, that's the house hearing next week. of the senate meantime is looking for their hour hearing to call up jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg after the new york post article on hunter biden. twitter, facebook limited the viewing and sharing the article saying it was subject to fact checking and broke platform renewals and that's why they weren't allowing it on the platform. i should note google allowed it to be searched and if you typed in hunter biden new york post you had some of the popular search auto fills complete it for, but still the republican-controlled senate and commerce committee are trying to get in jack dorsey, mark zuckerberg and the hearing they say that
9:33 am
big tech should be afforded the shield and protections under section 230 from 1996 and whether the federal shield has outlived its usefulness in today's digital age. stuart: facebook is down 2 cents susan: for now. stuart: pretty high levels. i agree for now because it's a long-running story. will they lay a glove on them? susan: it seems like the answer is no right now after the antitrust report as well. stuart: cvs announcing big big hiring plans. they are preparing for more covid-19 cases. how many people are they hiring, lauren? lauren: 15000, stuart to deal with the mix of seasonal flu and covid-19 so the bulk of the hires pharmacy technicians to dispense medications, give tests and eventually they can give the covid vaccine if federal officials allow it to be
9:34 am
administered at a pharmacy. as for the regular flu shot, cvs is expecting a jump this year and expect to administer 18 million, up from 11 million last year because more people looking to protect themselves this winter and symptoms are similar between the flu and regular covid. i had taken my kids already to the doctor to get-- well eventually a covid test because symptoms are similar and everyone wants to be safe and all of that, so we expect more flu shots and a lot more worries this year in general. stuart: for sure. i don't think you can get this up for me quickly, the stock prices of zoom. i'm pretty sure they are up again today moving beyond $500 a share. xoom is up this morning -- zoom. dow up 170, nasdaq 118. this is a monday morning rally. discrepancy between what i see in the dow jones

left side of the screen, bottom right, let's go with top left white only nice again. barclays has given an upgrade. i think it's probably another one. c2 it is worth the $10.75 and over get last week it was worth $1500 a credit so berkeley 1075. earnings are coming wednesday with chipotle doing well regardless of who wins the election because people still want to eat and chipotle is doing well on mobile ordering. the company benefiting from commodity deflation beef prices are also coming down after second-quarter spike. stuart: is a barclays that think they are going to 1500? susan: barclays is 1075.
9:36 am
stuart: why do you say 1075? >> an upgrade of what they said before over 900. i think it's a bullish sentiment. stuart: 1347 now and they upgraded to 1075 or whatever. susan: means they changed their view. that's a positive. stuart: starbucks today got an upgrade. tell me starbucks, $89 at share. susan: ninety force-- $94 according to barclays. wells fargo upgrading to make a high of $98 because mobile ordering and restaurants reopening after covid. that should be positive for starbucks and coffee drinkers around the world. stuart: including me. check the price of oil. i think it's around 40 bucks a barrel, 40.94. word of another high-profile buyout in the industry? >> another deal
9:37 am
significantly consolidation, fully underway, tops talk by chevron noble energy deal. it's an all stock transaction valued at $9.7 billion working out to a 15% premium for shareholders. it holds one of the largest footprints in the permian delaware basin, in other words valuable but comes at a time when the american industry as we know is trying to survive with these low oil prices come a week demanding in the middle of a pandemic shell operators have posted big losses and have struggled to raise new capital to restructure their debt. on kos .-ellipsis the transaction will improve its competitive position , but i think we can expect more consolidation moving forward. stuart: absolutely. consolidate. check zoom. it's up nicely, 3%
9:38 am
higher, $18 hider, 577 is the price. i believe that means zoom is up 700% this year, phenomenal xoom is now the company which has given its name to a verb. couple weeks away from the election. 15 days. some of hollywood's biggest names are forgetting out in hopes to push joe biden past the finish line. they want him to win. we will tell you about the star-studded pro biden lineup and despite many negative headline swirling around the biden family, a reporter decided to ask of this hard-hitting question. watch this. >> one vanilla and one chocolate, but i wanted to get a black and white stuart: the media finally gets a chance to ask joe biden questions and what do they ask, what flavor, mr. vice president. i have never seen such

hi, my name is sam davis and i'm going to tell you about exciting plans available to anyone with medicare. many plans provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. with original medicare you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each and then, you're still responsible for 20 percent of the cost. next, let's look at a medicare supplement plan. as you can see they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and co-insurance, but they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. now, let's take a look a humana's medicare advantage plans. with a humana medicare plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits, and medicare deductibles are covered. and, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. in fact, in 2019, humana medicare advantage
9:42 am
prescription drug plan members saved and estimated 7,800 dollars on average on their prescription costs. most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. dental and vision coverage is now included with most humana medicare advantage plans, and you get telehealth coverage with a zero dollar co-pay. you get all this for as low as a zero dollar monthly plan premium in many areas, and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana's large network. if you want the facts, call right now for the free decision guide from humana. there is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network, to find out if you can save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. humana - a more human way to healthcare.
9:43 am
stuart: how to characterize the rally? i would call it solid with the nasdaq up 92. i like this one, more people shopping online for the holidays means more packages to be delivered, obviously. obvious question, ashley, are the big shippers able to handle it all? ashley: yes, but it may take a few more days than you would like, a sign of the time with so many packages and so many deliverers. fedex and ups says most of the capacity as a spoken for and many smaller carriers aren't taking new customers and help next year, so as for the u.s. postal
9:44 am
service, if you want to go that route its network as we know is already stretched. delivery service across the board has been operating near maximum capacity for months and we know why because consumers are staying home avoiding stores and shopping online but according to one software provider, the capacity shortfall could average as much as 7 million packages a day between thanksgiving and christmas. estimates are for 79.1 million parcels of a during that period. 86.3 million packages looking for delivery, so 7 million is no delivery retailers are encouraging consumers to shop early for the holidays and when possible order online and pick up in the store , if not your parcels could take longer to arrive. stuart: that is why amazon did their prime at days as early as they did, last week to get in
9:45 am
their early to avoid the delivery crush. amazon dropped again thank you. let's look at the markets. up across the board, so again. market watcher dennis is back with us this monday morning. in my opinion and i think you share this, dennis, this rally is all about a central bank in the federal reserve in particular just printing and printing and printing. that's behind the whole ball of wax is? >> i don't think there's any question about that. every central bank of consequence continues to be expansionary, not just the fed. look at the bank of canada in the past several months, far more expansionary than the federal reserve bank. acb has been expansionary, bank of china expansionary, reserve bank of russia expansionary, australia's reserve bank, consistent over the course of the past several years and shall continue to be. i see no reason to think
9:46 am
that will change anytime soon and as long as it continues, i'm more impressed by who the president of the central banks are rather than the residents of the white house in the national capital. that's far more important and has been constant and is constant and out and shall be constant in the future. stock markets want to go higher in that environment and on september 29, is a you a note saying i turned bullish and since then i have remained consistent and see no reason to change. stuart: does that mean the federal reserve is putting a four on the wall street stock prices? >> so far that's what you can say. on measure they will tell you that's what they've done i'm a but that's what's happened and as long as they continue to expand their supply reserves and that adjusted monetary base moves from the lower left to the upper right making new highs and again, it's not just the fed, it's the bank of canada, across the world as long as that consistent and i see no reason to think it will
9:47 am
change, yes there is a floor on the stock prices. hard to believe. again, the monetary authorities of the world have been expansionary and continue to remain so and there's no reason for them to change. stuart: one quick one, dennis. central bank that keeps printing, federal bank prints by the chilean, i got it. supposed joe biden went the white house and democrats when the senate, would the federal reserve to be able to still put a floor under the market in those political circumstances? >> it's open to debate, but as long as the monetary authority remains as they have been and there's no changes in the population, no changes in the regional federal reserve bank, no change at the head of the fed which i don't think there will be because i think mr. biden with supportive of mr. powell and see no reason to think that will change although lyle borate or may be a likely successor if there were
9:48 am
a change and she would even be more expansive so i see no reason to see that it will change. hard to believe. if you had asked me a year ago fsoc prices would be as high as they are i would say no, but given the fiscal authorities that are expansionary yet to think stock prices have to-- want to go higher steel and that's what you get when you throw trillions around. >> a trillion here, he chilean their and sometime you have real money. stuart: someone said that about billions in the 70s. >> actually it was about millions. said a million here and a millionaire and pretty soon you're talking about real money and now, we are talking about millions of millions. stuart: and after trillions we go to quadrille yens. all good stuff. we will see later. average credit scores, i like this. they have gone up. susan: the average credit score stood at 711 and july, up from 708 and 706 a year earlier.
9:49 am
that is the highest score, average score since they began tracking and 2005 so average a score held the study through mid-october so far and it continues at those levels 30 that's encouraging and this increase largely thanks to the big stimulus from the government extending unemployment benefits helping borrowers keep track of their payments. stuart: from 2010 average was about 685 and now it's a 711. susan: that's a good rounded number. stuart: joe biden has finally asked about-- he was asked about reports of his sons overseas business dealings and here's how he coped with that. roll tape. >> i know you would ask. i have no response. another smear campaign. right up your alley.

stuart: got a little testy with that cbs reporter. meanwhile, president trump is making campaign stops in two states today. so far, joe biden has nothing planned for this day and we are 15 days before the election. we will be back. tums versus mozzarella stick (bell rings) when heartburn hits fight back fast... ...with tums chewy bites... beat heartburn fast tums chewy bites

9:55 am
you get an airline recovery. they are shelving their bigger planes they are changing routes, replanning routes. i think the whole travel industry is bracing for a longer come back then people expected, so i agree with you. stuart: in which case the whole industry has to shrink. there's no way around it; right? >> no, and it's shrinking anyway, i mean, tens thousands of layoffs in the airline and hotel industry since the stimulus package ended october 1, and they were allowed to lay off. we don't have another bailout package on the table so they will continue to lay people off. there's a good side to that, we are improving efficiency. airlines in the travel industry figured out how to do more with less, so airline ticket prices are down 25% this last month, which isn't great for them, but good for

10:02 am
homebuilders. the sentiment index is at and all time high. this seems like really good times for you guys? >> it is absolutely tremendous, stuart. we couldn't be more excited. seems with everything that is going on in the world, pandemics, civil unrest, higher taxes in urban areas, that the concept of home, i don't want to say it is taking on a new meaning. i want to say it is reverting to what the past tradition has been in america. people are buying homes. stuart: but you can't build them fast enough, can you? >> no, we really can't. we're having a hard time. we're still having labor shortages. we're still having high material costs although lumber prices have come down some. i want to thank our friends in the timber industry for that. we still need to get them down. in some markets it is almost impossible to build. i was talking to builders in wisconsin, building a home under

still a nice gain for the nasdaq. up 37. now this. i have covered every presidential election since 1976 when jimmy carter beat gerald ford. in every race media outlets took sides but i have never seen such one-sided coverage as we're seeing now. in today's media world, joe biden can do no wrong. doesn't matter what he does or doesn't do. he gets favorable coverage. it is almost universable. virtually the entire press corporation wants joe biden to win. read the newspapers. watch evening news on tv. same story. biden good, trump bad. now it is clear social media has joined on the antitrump bandwagon. they are actively suppressing the news. if you tried to share the revelations about hunter biden's money making activities you were blocked. top executives at facebook and twitter joined the biden
10:05 am
transition team. six out of 10 get their news out of social media, that deck is stacked. there was a telling incident on saturday which shows you where the media is coming from. the bidens ventured out of their house to get ice cream. it was an opportunity for the media to ask questions, serious questions, but no, instead, there was this, roll tape. >> got one vanilla, one chocolate. what we call black and white. we'll move it around with it. stuart: that's it. that's it. which flavor, mr. vice president. that's it. can you believe it? next, the debate on thursday. deal with that, moderated by nbcc's kristen welker. she is a democrat. her father gave $20,000 to obama's campaign. she chosen debate subjects that pander entirely to biden n all the presidential elections i have covered, there has been
10:06 am
some divergence of opinion in the media. today is different. the american people are being saturated with anti-trump bias. social media sensors trump supporters, print and broadcast news riddled with pro-biden bias. the debates are fixed fights. this is what happens when the elites showed their hatred of president trump, a monopoly of bias. just not right. >> it is adam schiff, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, who as you pointed out on friday said that the intelligence community believes that hunter biden's laptop and the emails on it are part of some russian disinformation campaign. let me be clear, the intelligence community doesn't believe that, that there is no intelligence that supports that. stuart: that was the director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe talking to maria earlier saying the release of hunter biden's emails and information on his laptop are not, repeat, are not russian
10:07 am
disinformation efforts. brad blakeman is with us. brad, i'm interpreting that statement as meaning, it wasn't the russians doing it. those emails are real and they are valid. it's not the concoction of moscow secret service or anything else. they're real. what is the implications of that, brad? >> well it depends. it depends whether or not the president is able to break through and his campaign with the facts and evidence that are clear and convincing there is probable cause to believe that hunter biden had a pay-to-play scheme complicit with his father in order to enrich themselves. he is a prodigal son. joe biden just sloughs it off, my son has had problems, he is back on his feet. we should feel sorry for him. no, we should not. when you get more power you use it in ways that are inclined not on the up and up. biden spent 47 years in government.
10:08 am
all of sudden he is a wealthy man. he has capitalized on his government service. his son apparently has too. this is real. of course democrats want us to believe it's a russian hoax. we've been down that road before. we found that dog don't hunt. democrats who created the russian hoax. really up to the campaign to keep pounding away because we know that the media will slough it off. stuart: it will be difficult to get that word out there because as you say the media is sloughing it off. i believe free speech is being suppressed in this country. there is no real debate. the media is so one sided with the trump hatred, the truth, it is the truth. it doesn't get a look-in. i don't know what you can do about this with two weeks to go to the election? >> my faith is in the american people. they tried this in 2016. they were convinced the media and the clinton campaign she would be coronated. that donald trump didn't have a
10:09 am
chance. it didn't work that time. i don't think it will work this time. you can fool some of the people some time but not enough of people this time. stuart: i see the polls, if they're tightening at all, it is not very much. what are the internal polls telling you in the battleground states? >> in the conference calls i've been a party too, they are showing this is tightening race. just like 2016 this election will turn on where they need to get the votes. it is about getting out the vote. motivating people to vote in person. if you haven't requested an absentee ballot yourselves, get the vote in person. voting by mail is unreliable and it invites fraud. i will tell you there is no excitement for joe biden. there is none. you can hide in the basement. i don't believe a lot of these polls. i believe just as we've seen in 2016, the silent majority will come out and they will vote for donald trump in the areas he
10:10 am
needs the vote. if it was up to the elites they hate the electoral college because they can't run the country from new york, illinois and california. stuart: 15 days to the election. we'll find out then. brad, thank you very much indeed. you're a busy man. thank you for taking time to be with us. >> pleasure. stuart: if you notice, right-hand corner of your screen, we're turning south, down 45 points. s&p is coming down too. a shift in the open h market in the opening bell. susan? susan: i'm trying to figure out why. a record high for homebuilder sentiment so the economy continues to recover. we started off this morning after the end of that three-day losing streak on friday. there are positives to take away as we started off on monday. for instance, stimulus hopes, speaker pelosi giving a 48 hour deadline to the end of tuesday to get some deal. some of the rhetoric and voicing says they're optimistic a deal might go through.

10:12 am

rapid test that, it is for atomtic. stuart: atomtic, you don't have the symptoms. you get the test. you get a rapid result. the stock is up 12%. let's talk youtube, because they have announced a sweeping new policy to do with conspiracy theories. tiktok also dealing with conspiracy theories. john matz back with us. ceo of parlor of a social network which does not censor anybody to the best of my knowledge. you have done some digging into this new policy from youtube. tell me what it is all apout? >> well it is interesting because youtube is normally a reactionary entity. they don't normally come out to create the new policies. they normally wait for facebook and twitter to kind of give them the nod. so this is really a fascinating new development for them. you know the way i described it, it seems youtube likes to purge free thinking this is not, this is not good in a time during an
10:20 am
election where we need people to actually have more ideas out there. i personally think that this has a lot to do with politics right now, and lead-up to the election. possibly, possibly a lot to do with mail-in ballots and questioning, like they like to say questioning the legitimacy of the election, i think of censorship from facebook or twitter as very political because it seems to me to be heavily censorship of conservative opinion or pro-trump opinion. is this political? i mean if youtube is cracking down on conspiracy theories, is that a political move? >> well conspiracy theory is just another word for things that they don't like or that they find unfavorable. in my opinion this could be considered political as well. just interesting to see them make the leap of creating a policy that facebook or youtube, or twitter hasn't yet. this is a new thing for them, right? they're normally reactionary.
10:21 am
this is fascinating. stuart: you've been on the program frequently, tell me again how does parlor deal with conspiracy theories or conservative opinion? >> well we believe need to have access to more information and that, you know you can't believe everything you read on the internet. you will not have a source of truth. we want people to have debate. they can have conversations. there is open comments sections for people to say that i think is wrong. they can fact check each other, naturally, organically, as a community, by having discussions. that is way it should happen. having a authoritative source telling you what is true, not true this, is a conspiracy theory or otherwise, that is not really kind of in the american spirit. so that's why what we do is we want people to have more conversations. we want more transparency regarding the election, not less. more information. stuart: are number of daily users on your site, is it going up dramatically? can you give as you number and a
10:22 am
trend here? >> it is going up a lot every day. i don't know what number i gave last time we spoke, but we are at the 4.3 million users, now. we keep going up. over time facebook, twitter, places like youtube, make decisions authoritative try to force people's viewpoints, people keep coming. not because they're getting banned. people want access to more information. they want to know what is really going on. they don't want to be siloed what i consider one partisan viewpoint. so having access to more information is critical. stuart: ceo john matz of parler, we wish you the bet. >> thanks, thank you, john. actress kirstie alley causing quite a stir on social media. saying she would vote for trump. tell me more, lauren. susan: lauren: you can't do that she went on the defense in social media, by saying i voted for

10:25 am
content related to covid-19 which could lead to -- twitter. apparently they are all doctors like dr. atlas. removal of atlas's tweet latest of a series of actions twitter taken to remove or flag posts by members of the trump administration, including the president himself. last week twitter and facebook took actions to halt the "new york post" article centered around hunter biden with gop lawmakers calling on both companies to explain themselves before congress. what makes them think they're a doctor as opposed to dr. atlas who is more than welcome to his opinion one would think in the marketplace of free speech. stuart: one would think, ashley, since when have we had a real marketplace of free speech at this moment because we don't. thanks, ash. check the markets again, please. major indicators are back around. all in positive territory. dow up 30. nasdaq is up 23. dozens of companies relocated to texas, tax-friendly

show me those, the fitness stocks i will call them that. i have got peloton up on the screen, lululemon, nike. i guess you call them fitness stocks. susan: i call them fitness stocks. peloton is up close to 370% this year. one of the top 25 millenial trading favorites on the robinhood trading app. peloton is a 150-dollar stock according to boa. because they're expecting a strong demand for the products and a strong season. remember the controversial ad for peloton, the husband buying the wife, a peloton bike? doesn't matter this time around. lulu lemon is another favorite. falling 12% in september. it is up over 50% this year. oppenheimer says it is worth $405. oppenheimer says nike is worth $150. piper calling it a 153-dollar stock. because 29% of teenagers identify themselves as sneaker heads.

spending 60% more on footwear than any other category. when the young are spending and buying that is a good sign for your stock is. stuart: fitness stocks are not doing well. we have the ceo of retrofitness which is a chain of gyms. andrew, i will put it to you bluntly, if i may i think the gym industry is going to shrink, no matter how much help you get from the government or authorities on reopening. i think people have changed their habits and your industry is going to shrink. i'm coming right at you with that. what do you say? >> well on the surface it sounds like a fair point. retrofitness, we have 120 health clubs open in development in 12 different states. we've been mandated closed or partially closed for the last 216 days. so as you would imagine we've all been fighting in the industry very hard for these small business owners.
10:45 am
we are a 100% franchise organization. we have to go get these small business owners, our franchisees financial relief. for the industry, exactly to your point, we had over 6,000 health clubs or gyms close over the course of the last six months, which is extremely unfortunate. but in many ways i also believe that the industry is at an inflection point. as tough as it has been i also believe it could potentially be a very exciting time. as we have in the country, 71.6% of the people in the u.s. are overweight or obese. and there is nothing like a global pandemic to encourage people to get healthier and get back to the health clubs. in many ways i see going forward the health clubs have a unique opportunity to be an extension of health care. if you look at it, 71.6% in the u.s. in italy, with all the pizza, all the bread, their obesity rate is only --
10:46 am
stuart: i got it. i got it. i understand your point. i really do sympathize with your industry but i think people have changed their habits. there is a lot more work at home, get exercise at home. peloton's success is an obviously an example of that. or echelon. outside my window where i live in new jersey, every day there are these outdoor spin classes. they have taken the business outdoors. i don't think they will go back indoors anytime soon. you do see my point? you're going to shrink. you will get government money probably but you are going to shrink. i want to know how much you think you're going to shrink, what is it 160 outlets now? do you have shrink that down? >> we have 120 open or in development t was a 30 billion-dollar industry forecasted to grow 20% over the next five years. what i would share in the clubs
10:47 am
we're currently operating our joins are up 20%. as a matter of fact, from an investor community, what i would share we had the best september since 2013 and we had the best month in franchise sales overhaul since 2017. when you think about industries that investors need to get capital working in, this is an industry that we really need to make a turning point. again 71.6% of america is overweight or obese. are we going to 80? will we go to 90? something has to give. we have to get the country healthy again. with the coronavirus preexisting conditions what clogged the hospitals. preexisting conditions directly related to obesity crippled the health care system for centuries, not centuries, for years. this is a great opportunity for the industry. stuart: let's see if you attract some capital. we appreciate you being with us, andrew. we do.

literally, why texas. ed, you're saying before we get to 2021 explain what is bringing people to texas. no corporate income tax. what else has texas got going for it? >> companies are looking to eliminate risk and lower their cost of doing business. if you look at the cost of taxes obviously, you mentioned no state or corporate income taxes. you look what is happening with nasdaq and the state of new jersey, potentially imposing an additional tax on their trading volume. you look at regulations. companies like predictability. regulations that are predictable help them during times like this. supply chain. companies are looking at their supply chain. they're onshoring. they want to get their product out quickly. they need a centralized location. obviously you have that here in texas. you have to look at energy and power. you look what's happening in california with the blackouts. texas, we have our own

11:03 am
yet stocks are going up and their close to record highs. why is this, why is your 401k still looking so good. one primary reason, my opinion we are throwing money around like never before and there is nothing like a money gusher raising stock prices, trillions from the federal reserve trillions from congress and maybe another trillion or two if the stimulus talks go through. were getting close to $10 trillion, that is stimulus, that is half the value of the entire economy, we never done this before. if you throw in much better corporate profits, the rapid rebound of the economy and rapid advances of treatment and vaccine technology, you even have more reason for stocks to rally please, don't forget the success of american technology companies still leading the world in a post-virus economy.
11:04 am
of course you have to worry about a clean democrat sweep at the oval office, the senate and the house are all run by the left, watch out investors if biden wins there is a second wave and he will lock us down again, watch out investors, think of all the money, nonstop trillions, worry about the debt later, worry about war and in the treasury, worry about that later, don't worry until you have to. right now enjoy the 10 trillion-dollar ride. the third hour of "varney & company" about to begin. now this 15 days until the election, investors need to watch out, i think they really need to watch out of biden wins, market watcher ed is with me. if biden wins the white house and biden wins ascetic and transcendent back and keep the house, that to me is a major
11:05 am
concern for investors, what say you? >> as you said a trillion here, a trillion there adds up to real serious money and it's all the trillions of dollars of stimulus provided by one of us call monetary theory which is a combination of almost reckless fiscal and monetary policies just pouring money into the financial system and that's what's driving the market, i would say the chair of the federal reserve matters more than who's going to be occupying the white house, to your point it will be a challenge for a lot of companies to deal with the government that is totally run by the democrats because of regulation and tax increase but as long as that does not add up to a recession the market can go higher and i think the democrats would spend so much money if the taxes that they raise for a while the market might do all
11:06 am
right. stuart: obviously you care who wins the election and you care about a clean sweep but it's not going to stop the market going higher when all this money is sloshing around, that is your point right. >> that is my point and if things go right and we get gridlock and remain nonpolitical, i think the stock market is gridlock, remember they call it checks and balances, it's a great system to keep us from going excess, i think the market would welcome gridlock. stuart: doesn't worry that were old enough debts, will be at 30 trigon dollars for the u.s. economy, that's gigantic, we always talk about the debt going up, do you worry about that. >> over the years i learned it's very important to really start out with the data, to watch the market and then come to your
11:07 am
conclusion as a fiscal conservative i don't like what i'm seeing but as an investment strategist i have to say it's been very bullish to have all of the liquidity provided by the fed and by the treasury. >> would you expect a wave of selling november and december of this year as people sell stocks out of profit that they know they're going to pay a low capital gains tax, if they wait until next year to sell at a profit odds are the capital gains tax will be much higher, possibly a wave of selling november and december. >> it could happen and if you get a blue wave and that makes it very likely that the capital games tax would go up, you might very well see that but if gridlock wins then that's not necessarily the case, again there's so much liquidity i think would people take their profits for tax reasons, they're getting it right back into

they have been one of the booming and retail industry bright spots in the consumer stocking up on food and other household essentials during lockdown, walmart, i know people forget, walmart has only 10% of the big-box retail sector in china people forget that warmer operate in china and already has more than that by itself, one individual company with 14%, ali baba takes control of big-box retailing doesn't make sense, this is part of valley public growth strategy supermarket, grocery, resurgence in the chinese consumer but also a lighalot is going right for the committee, $310 a record high in recent days, up 44% this year for ali baba and not only groceries doing well, cloud, and needs to be profitable this year in cloud, think of valley baba as the amazon of china, not only do they sell but cloud is a major contributor to the bottom

stuart: show me apple please pretty much it's down across-the-board, i believe apple is up 119 a share. susan: we have apple iphone 12 preorders higher in the first 24 hours in last year iphone 11 is positive in this year don't forget this is coming from one of the top apple analyst which is worth listening to, apple sold 2 million iphone 12 models from the first 24 hours from just a hundred thousand of the iphone 11 last year, i think that is positive.
11:30 am
susan: 24 hours they sold 800,000 -- 2 million think that's positive. don't forget china is the biggest market for the 5g upgrade since it's countrywide and here's more spotty and very city specific before the full week in a preorders, they say apple likely to sell 9 million iphone and the sword for the entire weekend but a lot of enthusiasm in the first 24 hou hours, i think apple is banking on a lot of sales from the iphone 12, you heard morgan stanley saying this could be a record year of iphone shipments surpassing 2015 when they shipped 231 million units. stuart: apple at 119. got that. the election 15 days away, a lot of confusion over voting rules and all places wisconsin which is a key state, hillary vaughn has a report on that from wisconsin. >> the supreme court is right
11:31 am
now looking at an appeal to try to get ballots that are turned in wisconsin that arrived six days after the election to be counted and were expecting the supreme court to make a final decision on that in the coming days and meanwhile wisconsin is bracing for a surgeon and person voting in dealing with the poll worker shortage in looking at hauling in the national guard to help me in the polls to deal with the voting, we've been on the ground in wisconsin talking to voters about the idea that ballots that arrived after election day could be counted, they are split on the issue. >> everybody knows what the rules are and all the rules are changing, there is something going on that somebody is not telling me. >> i really don't, i don't think they should expend it, i think people have had more than enough time to get out and mail in that ballot or walk it in or however,
11:32 am
and if you haven't you snooze you lose. >> this is a state trump barely one in 2016 by 20000 votes, he is campaigning three times more frequently here in the state that biden has, biden did not show to wisconsin until after the shooting of jacob blake where he visited but he has not held an official campaign rally here, that's a mistake killer clinton made in 2016 she never campaigned as the official democratic nominee and a lot of people say she lost the state in 2016, trump is trying to do a repeat and really make up for that with coming here and campaigning and person voters. stuart: déjà vu all over again, hillary vaughn and wisconsin, thank you hillary, what do you think about these schemes where the government gives you
11:33 am
guaranteed income, they're doing in compton, california, they're launching the pilot program, 800 residents of guaranteed income, i don't know what it is been two years, guaranteed by the local government kamala harris dennard is back with us, welcome back. , the compton scheme seems to be the exact opposite of the presidents plot and plan the scheme is handing out money, cash, the platinum plan is getting capital to the minority community, big difference, what side are you on. >> that's a very big difference in the compton scheme is only going to keep black americans down in compton, it will not empower them, the platinum plan which president trump is doing which is a black economic empowerment plant it is going to give access to capital, it's going to create entrepreneurs,
11:34 am
it's going to create businessmen and women to contribute to the economy and not just give money for the sake of getting money, i would rather have 800 small business owners in compton rather than 800 people receiving money from the local government, i teach a man to fish or i can actually just give them the fish, let's teach these residents on economic empowerment, let's give them the tools necessary to empower themselves and include their life in the community, that is what is most important, that's why appreciate the fact that president trump and the republican party believes in empowerment and entrepreneurship and growing people and growing communities, not just handouts and government programs that keep you down and don't reward the actual ingenuity, the creativity and the entrepreneurism that is vibrant and black communities. stuart: right, yes again paris dennard, there are 27 black gop
11:35 am
members standing for congress this year, why the sudden appearance of so many black republicans. >> this is a historic number, 27 black republicans are running for congress, 27 for the house and 26 for the house and one in michigan running for the senate, this is incredible because we know that president trump has created the environment for black entrepreneurship, black americans to say i have a place in this party, brought on mcdaniel who is our national gop chairwoman the state chairwoman when michigan made it a specific effort to engage with the black community and we sell president trump when in michigan, it is because it's an important thing that this party has done opening, widening, growing the party and more and more people are stepping up to the plate
11:36 am
saying i want to join president trump in washington, d.c. for four more years and joined senator tim scott from south carolina and help them push forward not only the justice act but president trump's platinum plan, these republicans that are running, john james and michigan for the senate environ donald in florida who is running for ngrecongress and a whole hostlee others all across the country, know tknsane aaissenaissanssan thlaeckla republican. stuart: the rapper ice cube got mesomeklme roll t tape f tapecon s period. >> i did not run to wor with anyany campan, botigh botpaigns wantacteacte me, bothpapaigns wa toed talk to me m aut a contract with bla blarica,me one ai said w we whatt you aerhe election and one onetigoy campaign smpd wd love what y , do you mindindalinking to about and that's what i did, i
11:37 am
did not run to nobody. stuart: getting a hard time for supporting the platinum plan. >> he is and it's unfortunate, liberals in america especially black liberals in the joe biden campaign are running scared because they know president trump is making a direct impact on the black community and changing hearts and minds and inspiring people to come out insane and willing to work with the trump of administration to get things done, the trump of administration in the republican party are about action and rhetoric, ice cube should be commended for finding ways to reach across the aisle to empower and improve the black americans across his country like president trump has done, when you see the backlash that he's getting it's unfortunate because we know that everyone should want to work with you administration to move the needle forward to power, uplift and encourage black americans to have the greatest time of their life making america great again and that's what this administration is about.

11:43 am
>> probably safer than you sitting in the studio, the defense department did a study, i don't know how safe you are in the studio anyway but they did a study where they put a plane full of dummy's out there, when i say dummies i don't mean people not wearing a mask, mannequins with the monitors and then released aerosol so they can measure what it would be like to have covid in the cabin, here's a surprising result, they found that the filtration on the planes took out about 15 times the amount of filtration you would have even in your own home and 5 - 6 times the amount you would have an operating room, sterile operating room, it took out 99.7% of any particular as a result of the filtering and the exchange rate, this is very rapid, only a small portion of the air that is recirculated and

let's get the latest on the stimulus, i will bring in brian morgenstern white house director, i'm asking this because i am told you are cautiously optimistic that speaker pelosi will agree to a deal before the election, tell me more. >> hope springs eternal, the president has been clear throughout this process that he's standing up for working people, he wants help in the form of stimulus checks, ppp to help employees of small businesses stay connected to their jobs, unemployment insurance, school funding so we can get schools reopen and parents can stop playing double duty, if all these things the president has stood by, anywhere from a small package of repurchasing funds up to $1.8 trillion. stuart: i'm terribly sorry to interrupt but we know all of this, i know all of that, now
11:46 am
you're saying you are cautiously optimistic that speaker pelosi will agree to a deal, she laid down an ultimatum, you get a deal by tomorrow, tuesday or she walks, yet no package before the election, why are you cautiously optimistic of what the speaker is saying that. >> she laid down artificial deadline, when i tell you the president will continue to remain interested in a deal if we can get one in the next 24 - 48 hours we will remain at the table willing to negotiate and we put forth everything from the 300 billion-dollar package up to $1.88 trillion which is more than twice the size of the stimulus that we have at the end of the obama years so we are making really good faith attempts and coming up in a number, we are hopeful that the speaker sees that and she will reciprocate by negotiating a good faith, so far she's played politics and wanting to basically make working people continue to wait and suffer while she plays politics, we are hopeful that she will move and we will see how this afternoon goes with the conversation with
11:47 am
secretary mnuchin and the speaker and will see what happens after that, we will remain interested in a deal no matter what, she can continue to set deadlines that she wants to but were here for the working families of america. stuart: we hear you, thank you very much for joining us, we do appreciate that. if you are cautiously optimistic, hopeful, maybe that's why the dow is still down because of all you got is hope, that's not going to go very far, susan is with us with breaking news from the federal reserve. susan: you still have help from the federal reserve, vice chair says the federal reserve will continue to increase the balance sheet, by treasury and continue to increase their holdings of agency mortgage-backed security at least at the current pace to sustain market functioning and part of the 4 trillion-dollar firepower that we got from the federal reserve has been the reason were looking at record levels once again for the stock market also positive third-quarter gdp we have not gotten those numbers yet he
