down. i think it's going gangbusters, so that's why any pullback in microsoft is a great opportunity to own the stock. stuart: icy microsoft as setting the tone for the market tomorrow morning because if they disappoint i think the market will show it and if they exceed expectations i think they will do well. set the tone for the whole market, you think? >> it will, but it will be short-lived because thursday we will hear from the rest of the big tech, facebook, apple, google so it will be microsoft takes the lead for the next 24 or 48 hours, but then there are other big tech companies are coming out it big tech, any pullback has been lost and we talked about the recurring theme 70 week -- you just wonder if the growth stopping, is there anything same accompanies are no longer growing and i don't think we will hear that. stuart: big me-- give me the big picture for a second. yesterday we saw an ear

thousand point drop closing down 650. is this the action we will see through the election and may be beyond just to be completely transparent, it could be, stuart. you have to take a step back. yesterday got ugly midday. we rallied a bit towards the end but we still had a big selloff and for the last month the market is up over 3%. for the year it's having a nice gain also, so you will get low volatility around different headlines, but i think there is one side of this that would love to see a weaker market and more chaos and the truth is, we don't see that. we are getting through the pandemic the best we could. we will have the election. my biggest concern has been on election that doesn't have results where we are talking in december and january. you are hearing a lot less about that so if we get a winner tuesday it

will be positive for the market. stuart: how about this for investment advice don't buy or sell anything for at least the next week? >> well, i will say if you get a quality company like microsoft for instance that sells off because they missed by a couple of million dollars on one section of their business, i would be a buyer so try to block out the noise over the next couple of weeks and stick to the plan of buying quality. stuart: thank you. see you soon. we really like to keep everyone on top of what looks to be a booming real estate market and we have news this morning on home prices. laura, what you have? lauren: they are up. prices in 20 cities gained 5.2% in august. the biggest annual increase in two years. phoenix led the way with prices up almost 10% followed by seattle at eight and a half percent and in a measure of complete housing

and italy ordered restaurants, bars, gyms, cinemark's to close with nighttime curfews in place. some of the most violent protests were seen with a number of luxury stores including a gucci boutique ransacked by a crowd and police responding with tear gas. in milan, crowds chanting "freedom". in one northern italian town restaurant owners the pots and pans in the city center all night. in naples, a crowd gathered calling on the regional government to resign. it's a mess. the new restrictions will be enforced until november 24, and small businesses say the new restrictions will they cropped them. so, tensions rising in italy took not a full national lockdown, but

you have a million people looking at you right now, sir. >> i can't hear anything stuart: sorry about that. the good doctor cannot hear us. we will try to establish communication at some point. now, eli lilly, with the stock nearly 5%, the ending anti--- antibody therapy trial. susan: this from the federal health researchers and they say there is no benefit from this treatment for patients treated with it in the hospital that have a severe case of covid-19 so they were giving eli lilly drug along with an anti- but-- antibody drug treatment so together researchers say there's no benefit eli lilly will continue to test its drug and other studies for people with mild symptoms, but the stock is down. not only would it be the hall, but they reported bigger profits thanks to

newer drugs, but that report fell short of what wall street wanted with disappointed earnings. stuart: we now have matt mccarthy, doctor mccarthy with us. do you think we're looking at a big new lockdown in america? >> no, i don't. what we are seeing across europe are these big broad mandates for people to stay at home, and not go out and that's simply not what we will see in the us in the near term. what we are seeing is what we call many lockdowns. in newark new jersey tonight nonessential businesses will have to close after 8:00 p.m. in el paso a two-week stay at home or. a place in kansas city turning away ambulances, so we see these very sort of micro shutdowns or lockdowns and i expect to see more of that as we go into winter without a vaccine that's just the reality of where we are at.

stuart: do you think it's a legitimate strategy? >> well, it's the only strategy now. i was looking back at an op ed mike pence said back in june saying there would not be a second wave of coronavirus. i disagreed at the time, but i think he's right, we never got through the first wave and what we see is a resurgence of what's really been this first long exhausting wave. i would like to see more social distancing, more mask wearing in public. i think in some regions there is an appetite for that and another cases people are so exhausted they want to get back to normal, but the problem is going back to normal can make things worse in the nightmare scenario, the things we are really worried about our hospitals overwhelmed and the prospect of rationing medical care was raised by the governor in utah saying they just don't have the resources if trends

continue to care for all the patients. right now, we can handle many lockdowns, but we may reach a point where they expand-- extend beyond the disabilities. stuart: doctor mccarthy, thank you for joining us. we will see you again soon. check that big board. dead flat basically on the dow jones. nasdaq looks like it's going to be on the up side by about a third of 1%. big tech doing well. back after this. ♪

stuart: three minutes to go before the market opens and we will find out what kind of a doubt if any we got from yesterday's decline. come on in david barton sign. today he's getting political. you say biden's lockdown threats could cost him the election. spell it out, please. >> it's pretty simple, stuart. he has the lead in the polls. people have their own instincts as to what's going to happen or not,

but i can't think of a bigger error he could make in the final weeks than to go forward with this ridiculous idea that he wants to be branded as a lockdown candidate. of the effect of the matter is, everything he said in the prior segment is completely correct. we are dealing with a virus that is a spread in hospitalization that has stayed reasonably contain. icu and multi- day stays are way down and the mortality is way way down, about 75% from peak levels. this notion he wants to threaten the middle class and lower economic wrongs of people with further lockdowns is insane and i think that is not only a political liability for something the american people have to understand that if you care about the economic prospects of those more disadvantaged you cannot support the idea of staying shut down. we need to get back to work, open the schools,

open businesses and let this virus run its course that doesn't mean not protecting the vulnerable. we know what we need to do to do that. stuart: i'm glad you raised this because coming up at 10:00 a.m. i'm going to detail these 15000 scientists and doctors who are saying the lockdowns had the worst possible impact on poor people imaginable. i'm glad you brought this up because i would like to bring that into the argument as we think what to do about the second wave when it arrives. last 30 seconds for you, david. >> i went to point out biden said in the debate oh, the rich are getting richer, though he and heirs have added to their stock portfolio and the poor people are getting hammered. that's because of a lockdowns. that's because people that wear a tie to work can go on to zoom into this nonsense. the fact of the matter is other people that bus tables, service workers

can't and we have to get that economy open, stuart's. stuart: glad to hear it from you, david. thanks for turning away from dividend plays for a moment and go into the interesting political issue. thank you. we are about to open this market. it's a tuesday morning and here we go. 9:30 a.m. eastern. i expect to see some green, but i'd don't know. i was wrong. down 30 points on the dow industrials, a tiny fraction of 1%. i see more than half is in red that we just turned around and we are in the green. that is the dow jones. s&p 500 is up a tiny fraction .15%. nasdaq composite showing a more solid gain of about a half of a percentage point. looking at some companies which reported earlier this morning, pfizer, caterpillar, jetblue all reported before the bell and all of them are on the downside.

then what about amazon web services and are they taking market shares away from cloud. as we look at gaming because they have the release of the next generation many more people are gaming work how well his xbox doing. also microsoft team which is a zoom competitor for working from home. 75 million daily active users at the end of april, behind the 300 million daily meeting participants on zoom. are they taking lunch away from zoom would be a great catalyst. stuart: we will see this afternoon. at the french word, got it. las vegas sands reportedly looking to ditch las vegas was that about, ash? ashley: iconic landmark in vegas , the las vegas sands could be dumping vegas to concentrate on china and singapore. according to reuters the

stuart: we brought you the unfortunate breaking news earlier, unrest in philadelphia after a armed black men armed with a knife was shot and killed by police. charles payne joins us now. charles, this is happening when we before the election, happening in philadelphia, pennsylvania, a swing state. dc political implications from what we saw happening in philly last night? >> there can be because we sought during the

summer when there were several cities that saw extensive writing which was distinctive from the peaceful protests, but when these things morph into looting and violence at night, i have not seen the video of last night's event so i don't want to opine on that as much as the fact that i have read 30 officers were injured. i did see a video on twitter of one police officer run over by a pickup truck. of this kind of thing scares people everyone wants to-- we talk about the massive slide of people out of these major urban cities. covid is playing a role but this plays a role in serving plays the role in the mind of the voters who hope for calm and peace. stuart: i would like to see joe biden asked about defending the police or reallocating money away from the police, i mean, i

think that is an election issue bringing it to the forefront. let's talk about the market for a second. we saw a big selloff yesterday, meyer league come back towards the end of the day. will we see more of this up-and-down volatility over the next week or two when mike i think we will see more anxiety. i don't think it would be easy to trigger them. last week was a tell when we have earnings reports that didn't move the needle for the market, so you have a whole lot of anxiety building up. one narrative that is weird is this sort of that if trump wins there will be folks who won't accept the outcome or vice versa. you know, that would be short-term because we know whatever it is at some point there has to be a transition of power if it has to be it will be peaceful and if trump remains in office he will remain in office. let's not forget five major cities are told to be prepared in dc they

are trying a board of some sort so wall street senses that, but looking beyond the election people are concerned about the stimulus think and i think most of yesterday's selloff was another message from wall street to washington to get your act together because the final narrative can be that there won't be any more fiscal stimulus. stuart: i think they will get around to it eventually, but not necessarily today or tomorrow. >> it's going to be tough. i think the idea they will get around to it, we have been saying since the end of july and it hasn't happened. who's to say it would happen even in a more bitterly divided country after the election. stuart: wall street acknowledges there will be a spending spree no matter who wins or if you could a stimulus package before or after the election ended the fed will always be printing up a storm so i think wall street is convinced after the election

there will be more spending and that will be stimulus into the economy. i think that's why we have stocks at 26600 on the dow. >> i disagree with that 1000%. we would not have a thousand point down day if wall street was 100% convinced. headline writers are convinced, but wall street ain't convinced because it has not happened yet. it does not have to happen. we were going to get infrastructure when president trump was elected and democrats didn't want it. federal reserve money is not making it to main street. federal reserve money is not making it to small businesses. they would like to, but they don't really have the mechanism. power has been screaming at the top of his lungs for congress to do it on the fiscal side. they can send checks directly to people's home tomorrow if they get their act together. stuart: charles, you are hosting a virtual town hall at 2:00 p.m. eastern today.

it comes to holiday spending jerk gallup poll shows they expect a drop of 14 and half percent. they showed a decrease of 7%, but don't forget you have retail sales that have recovered from the pandemic up five straight months. stuart: i think it will be a record year. susan: don't you think i was generous? stuart: you, generous creature i thought it was generous. stuart: president trump moving full steam ahead today with rallies in michigan, wisconsin and nebraska. kayleigh mcenany joins us from the campaign trail in the next hour. more "varney & co." after this. gives us confidence... ...so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow, do you think you overdid it maybe? overdid what? well planned, well invested, well protected.

♪. stuart: who could not know that song? isn't it theme song from some kind of show on tv? i think it is. isn't it? susan: europe. you're thinking of the euro song. stuart: that was 50 years ago. it is the final "countdown" to the presidential election as you see on your screens seven days away. and by the way, look at that, 62.6 million people have already voted. here is what is on the agenda for the candidates today. president trump not slowing down at all. he has got rallies in michigan, wisconsin, and nebraska. joe biden is out of the basement. he is holding two events in georgia. back to your money.

look where we're going here. we have a half hour's worth of business on our belts. there is not that much movement in stocks prices where big tech is doing well. nasdaq up a half a percentage point. breaking news happening right now the latest read on consumer confidence. susan. susan: we're looking at a read of 100.9. we were looking for 102. we saw in september, 101.8. it was the fastest recovery from august to september in 17 years. i would call these pretty strong numbers. stuart: no impact on the market. you're on the downside. what do we have next? down for the dow, we're off 39, 40 points. up for nasdaq, 52. now this. lockdowns are the worst assault on the working class in a half century.

whoa, now that is a flat-out denunciation of the lockdown that took over our economy. who said it? bernie sanders,a-aoc? intono, from three scientists from stanford, oxford, universities. that endorsement has been denounced by 15,000 doctors. this growing anti-lockdown opinion is very important. the researchers are saying very clearly don't lock down. it is devastating for poor people and they say the medical and psychological damage from lockdowns is worse than from the covid virus itself. they want, quote, focused protection for vulnerable people while those who face, quote minimal risk should be allowed to resume their lives. their approach is similar to president trump's. maybe that's why the media has ignored them or worse, suppressed their opinion.

they claim google shadow-banned their report. how about that? same old story. the left and media propaganda difficults, so hate the president they will suppress anything that hurts joe biden. they will suppress it. he supports lockdowns. so any anti-lockdown stories or opinions must not see the light of day. pathetic. let's be clear here. this is no tepid critique of lockdowns. it is a full bore condemnation. the lockdowns, the authors say have had a devastating effect on public health. the damage includes economic catastrophe, social harm and a lack of schooling for our children. we ought to remember that now that a second wave has arrived and we have to figure out what to do about it. we have got to figure out what to do. these guys are saying no lockdowns. the second hour of "varney & company" just getting started. ♪.

stuart: all right. you heard what i had to say in "my take" there, scott shellady joins us. scott, you've been saying for a long time that lockdowns are not the way to go. i take it, scott, you saw what just happened in italy overnight. they have riots from people who don't want to be locked down any longer. this is a big deal right now, scott. >> well if you ask me it has taken too long for people to get angry like that. we're starting to see more in illinois. i wrote an editorial in the northwest indian times, lockdowns are lazy. that is what leaders do. they can't put brain power to figure something out. keep those at risk okay and let everybody else still healthy continue on. the reason i wrote at it, i stared at the television, hear joe biden how he loves first-responders. i love our police, i love our firemen. i love our paramedics. i love our first-responders. we should make sure we look after them, but at the same time he said he would lock the

country down three times. so guess what, joe biden and lori lightfoot and cuomo and de blasio, when you shut your economies down you have no tax revenue to spend on those you claim to hold so dearly to your hearts. that is why i wrote the editorial because lockdowns are what idiots do that can't think of anything else better to keep people safe. it is absolutely insane. it really does hurt the economy. stuart: but having said that, having written that, scott, i will bet you were called, you're just playing with people's lives? you're killing people, i bet you that is what they said to you? >> oh, i got death threats back in march when i said it. stuart, what you just cited there has been a lot written past 40 years. first those white papers said lockdowns don't work. i tell you this, people say to me i choose commerce over bodies, right, i will tell you right now, the government does it every day and you don't care because if they didn't do that every day, do you think the

government could sell another cigarette ever again? they're choosing commerce over what they know cigarettes can do to you. that happens every day all day long. so we can't just single out this one. yes, it is part of life. part of what governments do. we have to get on with our lives. that is what we'll do, live with this going forward. stuart: scott, thank you very much for being with us. we welcome your opinion. thanks for joining us, sir. see you soon. i want to bring in rachel campos duffy, fox news contributor. rachel, you just heard me talk about lockdowns. i know you have a very large family. >> yeah. stuart: i don't think you like lockdowns. you want your children to be in school, am i right? >> absolutely and mine are in school because they're in a private school, in a catholic school. what i find interesting about this you're right on. these people that wrote this great barrington paper, they are 100% right this hurts the working class and the poor more. you know the biggest proponents of these lockdowns and shutdowns of schools, the biggest

supporters are white liberal women. why? because they have the resources to mitigate this. it is poor women, who can't do this. the rich women are hiring tutors. they're getting together and forming pods and hiring people to come to help their learning pods. that doesn't happen to working class women. and i think that joe biden during the debate didn't just lose voters over his fracking comments. i think a lot of moms across the country heard something else. they heard donald trump say open schools, and they heard joe biden say, pessimistic message about lockdowns and basically telling them that their kids will be on zoom calls for the rest of the year. we all know, if you're a parent, you know your kids are not learning on zoom calls. stuart: okay. i'm going to bring up the subject, rachel. i believe you are of hispanic heritage yourself. we have a "new york times" poll shows president trump has four point lead over biden in texas. but the main part of the story

deals with biden's weakness among hispanic voters that was a surprise to me. how about you? >> not a surprise to me at all. democrat party has become the party of corporate, liberals who are looking for cheaper labor, of the elite environmentalists. donald trump has turned, his party, the republican party into the party of the american worker. and that message resonates especially with hispanic men. you see the numbers are up higher with hispanic men, just as they were with black men who also respond to this america first worker, party of the working man message that donald trump has. they also like his very strong ceo approach to government. so they're attracted to that. in texas, varney, many people don't remember that when nafta passed many factories that were in texas actually moved just a few miles south down to mexico and american hispanic workers

who were working in those manufacturing jobs lost their jobs. people in texas who had those jobs don't forget that. they know that donald trump renegotiated nafta to make those terms more favorable for american workers. so what people need to remember, hispanic-americans are americans and they care about our economy and they care about their own jobs and so trump's message resonates. stuart: rachel, give our very bests i think it is your nine children? is that correct? >> that is correct. stuart: best wishes to you as well. thanks, rachel. >> thanks, varney. stuart: i have to get back to money. why not. susan watching shopify and amazon. susan: look at a rally we're seeing in shopify. amazon such after hiring 100,000. shopify is teaming up with tiktok in order to allow users on the social media app to shop on video ads it provides. that make sense? this is very interesting because don't forget walmart was part of this bid to buy up tiktok.

now shopify which allows merchants to have the storefronts online is now helping those merchants advertise on tiktok and so you can just click on the video ads and it takes you to the merchant. does that make sense? i'm trying to explain social media. stuart: did a good job. susan: also, by the way lockdown winners here, square, paypal. the transition is to online banking. that is happening, if we have another round of lockdowns with rising cases. nvidia, benefiting from xilinx tieup. a lot of winners like tdoc are gaining. stuart: that's good. we have earnings reports from companies that came out early this morning before the bell. i will run through them for you. we got the report cards from caterpillar. we got a report card from merck, pfizer, jetblue. put them up on the screen, maybe. let's see how they're doing after their earnings reports came out.

let's move on to caterpillar. their sales fell by half the last three months. merck faring better. there you go. seas down by a half last three months. down 2 1/2%. it goes from there. merck, they strong demand for their cancer therapy drug, keytruda. merck is up today just over 1%. pfizer, they have recruited 42,000 participants for their virus vaccine trials. that is not easy but they did it. stock's down 1 1/2% though. jetblue, they're still under huge pressure obviously. their third quarter passenger capacity just 42%. it was 85% a year ago. jetblue down just a fraction. big hour coming up, cale h kayleigh mcenany, brian kilmeade and trump 2020 advisor mercedes schlapp. the mainstream media wasting no time criticizing amy coney barrett after her historic

>> oh. he hit a cop. oh, my god, he hit a cop. he hit a cop. stuart: we're showing that video again. the moment an officer was run over by a pickup truck that happened in philadelphia. the female sergeant who was run over in the hospital with a broken leg and other injuries. it happened as rioters took to the streets after an black man armed with a knife was shot and killed by police. 30 other officers were injured. what happened in philadelphia all started when police responded to a domestic call. he approached the victim, i guess you call him a victim here, the black man. approached the officers with a weapon. they told him drop it. he didn't. that is when the officers fired several shots. they have been taken off-duty. an investigation is underway. there are political implications from this. it is philadelphia, pennsylvania.

it's a swing state. we're a week away from the election. what does joe biden say about taking money away from the police. what does joe biden say about violent urban unrest. it's a political issue, like it or not. 64 points down for the dow industrials as we speak. not rebound at all after yesterday's decline. a couple of stocks in the news. 3m, sales surging thanks to demand for health care products like face masks but the stock is down one 1/4%. we do have some good manufacturing news from texas. what do we have, ashley? ashley: we do. we're talking about data from the federal reserve bank of dallas. basically as we know, these are a snapshot of economic activity but the numbers are encouraging. factory activity in october expanded for the fifth straight month, hitting a two-year high. the report relies on feedback from executives, overall, new

orders were up over september. shipments increasing. expectations for future business conditions they say remain positive. the only metric moving slightly lower from september was employment, which signals that the, a less strong rate of hiring if you want to put it like that. but texas has been booming. as we know some businesses have been moving there, stu, because of business-friendly environment, lower taxes and so on. tax credits, just that part of the country in october, showing some strong resistance. let's put it that way as we face potential second wave of the virus. stuart: i think they're going for trump. that would be my off-the-cuff idea for the election in texas one week from today. all right. staying in texas, he will pass imposing a curfew, 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., can't go outside. if you violate the curfew, there is a 500-dollar fine.

the mayor of el paso joins us now. why such drastic action, mayor? >> stuart, let me clarify. the way texas works the governor is in control of emergency orders. the county judge preempts the mayor. so our county judge issued this order on sunday. by statute, the city of el paso, irrespective of the fact we're largest entity in our county must follow. stuart: do you approve of it? >> what i approve of anything that will stop our spread. we have, our hospitals are inundated. today we announced 1392 cases. we have 892 currently hospitalized. we're at capacity. we have another 206 in icu. that is up 26 from yesterday. stuart: okay. >> so it's a great concern. we don't know, we're not real sure where all this is coming from. deep dive we did --

stuart: do you maybe you have got a border problem? el paso is right on the border. >> we're the largest american city on the mexican border. stuart: is there a border problem? is some coming across the border going north of the border to you, el paso? >> yes. i think there is some of that but remember, we have, both on our side and mexican government side stopped all non-essential personnel from traveling back and forth f you're a u.s. citizen, have a green card, working in the meklias in juarez you have ability to go back and forth as essential worker. when we did our deep dive, over 50% of the positives are coming from age 40 and lower less. and that 37 we're admitting they visited stores. 22 1/2% were restaurants and 22% was visitation to mexico. we're trying to get our arms around it. the governor is most responsive. we had to bring in four surgical

tents. we've got, we're looking at an alternate care site unfortunately at our convention center which will be set up with 50 beds to begin with. it can expand to 100. we're having to air vac non-covid patients to other hospitals throughout texas. so it is not good. we want to do everything we can. i implement ad limitation on restaurants to close their kitchens at 9:00 a week ago thursday. and we were waiting for that to take but our, the county judge determined more needed to be done. stuart: okay. >> he implemented his curfew on sunday. one of my concerns is i'm not sure we can really enforce it. stuart: it's a difficult situation. we wish you the best of luck working through this difficult situation. sir, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. stuart: we appreciate it. thank you. new jersey also imposing restrictions. lauren, tell us what they're doing in newark.

lauren: a curfew. it kicks in tonight at 8:00. it will last for two weeks. all non-essential businesses in newark, new jersey, must close. food stores, pharmacies, gas stations are, concluded. restaurants can serve outdoors until 11:00 p.m. that is the outdoor curfew for restaurants. hair appointments, appointment only. gyms have to sanitize every single hour. the bosstivety rate in newark reaching 11%. the city will reassess everything in november. this is not a complete lockdown that we saw in march. if you're a gym, you have to spend the first half hour of every hour sanitizing, that is a big expense. that would make people not want to go to the gym. stuart: i think you're right about that sanitizing every hour is a big deal. thanks, lauren. to the election politics. facebook said it helped millions

to reg is it to vote. millions? how many are we talking about about, lauren? lauren: 4.4 million. if you go to the facebook or instagram app the at the top of the app, everything you need to know about voting. dead lines, mail-in instructions. facebook says 4.4 million people it helped to register since summer when it standerred the largest voting campaign in history. as for election security, because that is going to be a big issue once again for facebook i can tell you this, ceo zuckerberg donated $400 million to that end. that matches basically what congress appropriated to help fund these changes with the election that are brought on by the pandemic. so with facebook's help and because there is so much interest in general this queer, despite the pandemic, more people than ever are casting their ballots early and likely record numbers come, well, when we get the results hopefully.

stuart: all right. lauren, thanks very much indeed. bottom right-hand corner of the screen, the market took a turn to the south. now we're down 130. indoor dining to be banned in the chicago suburbs. it is already snowing there by the way. the city's making it real difficult for businesses like restaurants and bars to survive. we've got ed rensi to comment coming up shortly. next, kayleigh mcenany a lot to go at with her. a lot more "varney" after this. non-valvular afib can mean a lifetime of blood thinners.

different. most are virtual. the rare in-person events are poorly attended, frankly dull. he seems ill at ease whichever crowd or whatever crowd he can muster. he is clearly avoiding reporters. my opinion, trump embraces the crowd. biden withdraws from it. trump is all energy. biden seems like frankly, he is out of gas. president trump goes to three rallies in three different states today. first he heads to michigan. then it is on to wisconsin, he finishes it out in nebraska. kayleigh mcenany joins us serving now as advisor for the trump campaign. kayleigh welcome back. >> thank you so much. stuart: covid cases, 60,000 yesterday. 80,000 a couple days before that. some would call it a spike. some would call it a surge. at these rallies are you going to enforce mask rules.

>> we hand out masks. we encourage people to wear them. we temperature check. we provide hand sanitizer that is it what the campaign does. people have right to political speech. just like they had a right to go out and protest. like the women's march. people have the right to attend that. we have a first amendment in this country. president trump is very intent on want towing fight for the vote of the american people. joe biden is in his basement. if he won't fight for your vote he certainly won't fight for you as president. stuart: you won't enforce it. i guess you can't enforce it. you could. forced to wear a mask on a plane. you could force them to wear a mask at the rally. a lot of people would say that prevents the spread? >> we hand them out. we strongly encourage wearing the mask. ultimately it is someone's choice but we do strongly encourage it. we hand it out. then most people, i would note do wear the mask. you see people behind the president in the crowd. not every single stop with the president, travel with him, to these, all these events. most people are wearing them at the events.

stuart: nancy pelosi, speaker pelosi trashing the white house yet again over stalled virus relief talks. that is a letter to democrats. what are the chances getting any kind of stimulus package, virus aid relief before election day? >> look the chances are slim when you have someone like nancy pelosi, speaker of the house. when you look at the proposal they put forward. it still stands today, stimulus checks for illegal immigrants is in this bill. protections from deportation is in this bill today. a radical left wish-list. this is not serious. if we're providing stimulus relief for the american people it should be just that, for american people, for the united states citizens not a wish-list, excuse me wish-list from the liberal left. so it is on her. look, why doesn't joe baden stand up to say, nancy pelosi, pass airline funding? we offered that. nancy pelosi pass unemployment benefits. we offered that. clean bills. joe biden, it is shameful he won't call out his own party.

stuart: got it. i'm looking at a list of cases which are on the supreme court's docket. they include president trump's taxes, pennsylvania ballot extensions, wisconsin ballot counting and requests. north carolina ballot counting. they're all, and michigan abortion. all are on the supreme court docket. now judge, justice amy coney barrett, she has been sworn in. does she get to sit in judgment on those cases which we just put up on the screen? >> absolutely. look, she made clear in her confirmation hearings, it is the choice of a justice in consultation, seeking the recommendations from other justices but ultimately it is the choice of the justice whether to recuse herself. i see no reason why she wouldn't rule in any of those cases. she is an extremely good jurist, one who looks at the issues and rule of law. she doesn't allow her personal opinions to infiltrate in her opinions. stuart: now, if there is a

disputed election and it goes to the supreme court, if she does not sit in judgment on that disputed election case, then you could have a 4-4 tie. so i presume that justice barrett will have to preside over any election problems that may occur? >> yeah. that again will be her choice, whether to recuse herself or not. but, stu, we're very confident we're not getting there. when i travel with the president to maine for an off the record stop and thousands of people show up with two hours notice. we're in ohio, people are lined on the street, when a "new york times" reporter yesterday tweets out that in pennsylvania joe biden is 10 points behind where hillary was. president trump is nine points ahead where he was in 2016. there will not be election day dispute. just a resounding endorsement from the american people. we are very, have he confident. why joe called a lid yesterday. opened the lid. snuck out and then ran back to the basement. stuart: you feel you have

momentum with a week to go. >> there is no doubt about it, stu. we have a tailwind behind us. lights went on. we have tailwind behind us. stuart: don't worry about the lights. we hear you. kayleigh mcenany. we hear you. actually 62.6 million ballots have already been cast. hold on a second. some voters want, may want to change their mind? intriguing story, ashley, what is it all about? ashley: yeah, it really is. according to google trends data, searches for can i change my vote is trending, largely over the last few days, linked to searches for hunter biden. interesting, is it not? so the question becomes can i change my vote? and the answer is, yes, in some cases you can. some states including new york, allow you to have a change of heart by either requesting a new ballot to override the initial one, or, you can go to a polling

site and vote in person, and absentee ballot is set aside and not counted. so yes, you can. if you already voted in person at a polling site machine, you cannot change your vote. that's it. done. it also varies by state. arizona, tennessee, virginia, you only gives residents one shot at voting. but interestingly, michigan, minnesota, washington and wisconsin all allow residents to change their minds. in fact, people in wisconsin, the badger state, actually get three chances. so if you thinking about it, contact your local election office. you might indeed be able to change your mind. stuart: if you're thinking about it. ash. check the big board. we're down 150. now we're down 110. but look at the level, 27,573. the 10-year treasury yield, an interesting indicator, being this morning back to .78%.

it is going to be a short season. but i think you know, the nba did an amazing job just this past year about the, you know, the taking care of everybody and zero to positive covid testing. but i think next year it could start and we're so excited about it. stuart: will you still be in a bubble? >> well, there is also a lot of rumors out there they're saying that there won't be a bubble. players are going to play their games in their market. but, listen, we are dying to go out there to play basketball so we'll take anything. stuart: you're dying to get back on the court, aren't you? >> right. oh, my god. you have no idea. we are so, basketball brings so much joy in our lives and also, i know it is so hard, fans are not attending games but right now this is the best we can do. stuart: all right. what about politics in sport? some of the slogans written on to the basketball courts, i

slammed by the pandemic and shutdown that ensued. social injustice protests and violence over the summer and now potentially riots following, what, a delayed, contested or even just not welcome election outcome. stuart: i find it a very sad commentary, lauren. good report. susan: lauren: i know. stuart: 10:51. you know what that means. brian kilmeade joins us. address the violence in philadelphia overnight. it was a riot essentially. i think there are political implications from this. for example, philadelphia, pennsylvania, it's a swing state, i want to know what joe biden think about the defunding the police or reallocating funds for the police. i think there are political i amcations for a swing state. what do you say? >> joe biden says i'm also for police but also open to redirecting money. he said that before. the problem with joe biden is, he is not for defunding the police but everyone around him is.

when it comes to law enforcement, when has he spoken out organically what happened last night in chicago, portland, seattle was abhorrent? what is going on in new york i can't stand. when pressed he does not answer. when not pressed he doesn't. he wants no part of it. most of his democratic base feels police is part of the problem. that said, that is not true. 30 cops hurt, a man charging at cops with a knife, he was shot, african-american, black, all of sudden a racial issue. time to loot the stores. take inventory, destroying businesses already stressed. and i'll tell you, keep in mind, who is in philadelphia last week? president obama. that is where he broke in to help out joe biden. there is concern already in pennsylvania. concern already among african-americans who stayed home instead of voting for hillary, we're out to vote for president obama and trying to get them going again. i'm not sure that this is something that would exercise

them but i would say the people of philadelphia, the people of pennsylvania, they don't want the anarchy. stuart: yeah. the suburban women around philadelphia, i don't think they want what happened last night in philadelphia. but, brian, while we got you, i want to get your take on hillary clinton. she is still claiming that the 2016 election was stolen from her. hold on a second. don't explode just yet, brian. watch this. >> i was a candidate who won, nearly 3 million more votes and people fight about it every day online because there is a deep sense of unfairness and just, dismissiveness towards his victory. he knows it. stuart: i'm not quite sure i understand that. what do you think? what do you take from that, brian? >> this is every child watching, if you're sitting there with your parent, you're forced to study on zoom and it is your lunch break, this is how not to act if things don't get your way. she blamed the james comey letter. she blamed disinformation from

right-wing republicans. wait a second opposing campaign says something you don't like about you? since when is that allowed? that is called every day in every campaign big and small. she said she was born to be president, right there, that is the problem. as if it belongs to her. she deserves it. bottom line it went from how did hillary lose, how did she become the nominee. among democrats the problem with hillary, she is totally unlikeable. not that she is not smart. not that she is not experienced. she is not likeable. when president trump came in and was the outsider, people dismissed him as a legitimate candidate, even republicans. we all know what happened. this is how not to lose. in fact, stuart, think about it, stuart, the first time we ever heard that donald trump won was only over the last six, seven months when the democratic nominee, when we knew it was joe biden was starting to strategize how to win this time. wait a second. are you admitting that donald trump won? it wasn't the russians or the ukrainians? it wasn't jill stein?

you're saying the president actually won? and now that they see the pattern coming out again, they're wondering who do i blame this time? in fact you have twitter, facebook, youtube, all other outlets conspiring to make sure he doesn't win. stuart: there is another trend coming out this time, same as 2016. the poor campaign being run by joe biden. he is just not out and about. hillary was criticized getting out and about in michigan in 2016. the same pattern being repeated now. >> can you imagine if a team told you we're better off with you on the bench? his team is saying, joe, i thought about it. the best way for us to win. we looked at the pie charts and the bar graphs for you not to talk. think about it on the debate, fracking comments, getting rid of oil and gas, the numbers he got wrong. what he said the other day getting free college and numbers are way off. when he is talking about free college people already getting financial aid, that is not even an issue.

every time joe biden talks they have to walk something back. you saw when he came out and called those trump supporters chumps the other day. is that the wisest thing? now they say i won. he thinks he won. i'm going to hold the ball and stay home. he got so embarrassed he quickly put together a press conference. went to pennsylvania yesterday. you have another guy doing the exact opposite. americans respect work. stuart: right up against a hard break, brian. you know about how that works. mr. kilmeade, see you next week. big show coming up. mercedes schlapp, cassie smedile, ed currency, all on the their hour of "varney & company." ♪

joining us. we wish you the best of luck out on the campaign trail this weekend with. see you later. thank you very much, indeed. staying on the election and actually trying to link it to the stock market, i notice that jpmorgan strategists say a trump win is the best case scenario for the stock market. okay, that's one scenario. they think it's the best one. david left witch is with us. he comes to us from ubs. i want to see how you think the market stacks up. first off a, a trump win. you agree with jpmorgan that that would be very good for stocks? >> yeah. in our view, it's going to be sort of a neutral event for stocks. i think the biggest driver, stuart, of the market over the next probably 12-24 months is just going to be the recovery from the pandemic. and i think whoever's in office is going to be focused on defeating the pandemic and then getting this economy back on its feet. so in our view, whether it's a trump victory or a biden victory with a unified congress, you

know, we think both of those are sort of neutral that they keep us on the path of recovery from the pandemic. stuart: david, really? you think that if biden wins the white house, the democrats take the senate and hold the house, unified democrat control of the executive branch, the legislative branch, that's neutral for stocks? really, david? >> yeah. so our -- we run the numbers here. so even if you look at the spending plans that biden has put forward and you also combine them with the tax plans that he has, we think you're looking at a net stimulus to the economy. and as a result, therefore, we should see a boost to economic growth coming from those plans and, therefore, corporate profits, sort of the outlook for corporate profits really doesn't change. it's a different set of mix under a trump victory. you know, probably less stimulus but also no tax increases. net-net you get to a similar place, and i would say still the

overarching, i think the overarching driver here is just the recovery from the pandemic. stuart: do you think the market will be a little worried by an elizabeth warren at the treasury or a bernie sanders in the labor department? i mean, wouldn't you say that the market would be a little upset with that kind of thing? >> yeah. i mean, look, i think we talked about this a couple weeks ago. i think in terms of the financial sector, i mean, it's not clear that there's a need for any type of regulatory change. i mean, the banks have kind of come through this crisis with, in pretty good shape. so i think the incentives to see any type of, you know, big change on the regulatory side for financials is just not there. and plus you've got, you know, the fed which is a big actor in terms of regulation, they're, you know, jay powell's in office until the beginning of '22. so, you know, or we just don't think there's going to be a huge change in terms of financials. and then, yeah, in terms of the

labor market, i mean, a lot of this would have to go through congress and, you know, that's, you know, we've got some, you've got moderate democrats in the senate that are going to have a lot of sway in a senate that's very closely divided. so we think a lot of the more radical proposals are probably going to have a tough go in the senate. stuart: all right, david. i hope you're right but i think you're wrong. willing to disagree here. i'm sorry about that. i just don't see a unified democrat government, legislature and executive branch. that would send chills down my spine. david, it doesn't send chills down your spine apparently, but there you go. we'll see you soon. i'm going to change the subject and talk about pfizer. there's news there on the virus vaccine. >> some good and bad. delays expected, they just said the crucial vaccine data expected from pfizer this week now appears unlikely to come before the u.s. election. we have to wait a little bit longer, but the ceo says he is

we know that the president is winning in terms of early in-person voting in these battleground states. and remember for the democrats, while there could be a lot of absentee ballot requests, that doesn't necessarily translate to a vote being cast. and one advantage that the trump team has is a strong ground game. we chase down those absentee ballots, that's why we're destroying the democrats' lead here in florida where i'm at today, and we're also seeing in other states like, for example, nevada where you have inactive republican voters that are outperforming democrat inactive voters. so this is a phenomenon that we're seeing. we're also seeing in these rallies that about 30% of those people awe tending the rallies, they're -- attending the rallies, they're not even republicans. you've got between 10 and 20% of those rally-goers who didn't

even vote in 2016. we're making significant inroads, and we've to got the strongest ground game right now. and that's something joe biden simply does not have. stuart: i'm told that democrats dominated the early mail-in balloting. republicans tended to dominate the in-person early voting, and you think that republicans will dominate election day voting. >> oh, absolutely. stuart: is that right? >> absolutely. i think that you'll see the democrats will underperform. they're going to run out of voters on election day. what we have seen time and time again in these battleground states is that republicans want to vote in person, and they want to vote on election day. we're out there saying just don't wait until election day, get out early to vote. we've got several days before election day, it'll be long lines, we want to make sure that they get to the polling station, vote for the president early. i'll tell you something, stuart, the enthusiasm for this president is liking something i've never seen in republican

politics. where you have even organic events, the campaign doesn't even organize, whether it be a caravan, here in miami they had a humongous caravan just last week. people who weren't involved in politics that are now saying, wait a second, because of president trump and because he's the one that's going to keep our economy growing, keep our country safe, we need to get him back in office. we know joe biden is weak, we know joe biden is corrupt, and he's married off to the socialist branch of his party which is incredibly dangerous and troubling for many americans out there. stuart: mercedes, a couple of days ago president obama if visited philadelphia, rousing up the troops. last night there was a riot in philadelphia. what are the imply cautions for the state of pennsylvania -- implications for the state of pennsylvania from last night's violence? >> i think one of the things that the president has talked about for quite some time is how

he's going to be the president of law and order. he will not tolerate the ray chaos on the streets that many of these democrat-run cities have allowed. we've seen cities like in milwaukee, in portland where there has been this chaos where you've seen this rioting, and that's simply unacceptable. and when the president has stepped in and offered to deploy national guard is when you've seen the riots stop. it's when you see control in these cities. remember, they are rioting, looting these small businesses, many minority-owned businesses, and we're not going to allow for that. and so for us, we're going to -- for the president, he's made it very clear that once he's offered federal assistance of the national guard, they've restored peace in the cities like they did in kenosha and in other places as well. so for the president, that's a key priority. that's why he's received the endorsement of so many of law enforcement associations. sadly, joe biden can't even mention one name of a law enforcement association that's supporting him. stuart: i want to bring this to

your attention, we've just got a brand new photo, and it shows supreme court justice barrett now being sworn in by chief justice john roberts. that happened this morning. but look at these numbers from last night, the evening newscasts. nbc spent 50 seconds on the swearing into the supreme court but justice thomas. cbs spent 50 seconds. abc didn't cover it at all. it was a historic moment, but viewers didn't see it. many viewers just did not see it. what do you make of that? >> well, there's nothing more than a noise the liberal media than basically supporting a conservative woman like amy coney barrett, someone who is an inspiration, someone who is brilliant, highly qualified for serving on the supreme court. so i always say what a double standard from the media outlets that are not covering this historic confirmation of the fifth woman on the supreme court. if it would have been a liberal type of justice, someone who

would legislate from the bench, they would have done extensive coverage. it just shows the media bias that exists against conservatives, against someone like amy coney barrett, and she deserves better than that. but let me tell you, i apple so proud of this president -- i am so proud of this president because of the fact he stood strong, we were able to get through this confirmation process pretty good. i can remember the kavanaugh days -- [laughter] and one thing is, is because she herself as a. nominee proved to those senators and to america that not only is she highly qualified, but that she will be a strict constitutionalist, someone who respects the constitution on the supreme court -- stuart: okay. >> -- and really is a remarkable inspiration to all women out there. stuart: we're in the final sprint, you're very busy. thanks for taking time out to be with us today. >> thank you so much. stuart: mercedes schlapp. i'm going to show you big tech, put it up on the screen, please. there's a lot of talk about the big tech bubble, that it might

the trenches. what's it like at that early voting center? >> well, i think it's a civic duty to participate in this great election we're facing. three things struck me, stuart, that was kind of interesting. one, just the sheer number of people, i think mr. turner, the supervisor of elections in sarasota county, has done a fabulous job on security, making it easy, and it's almost festive-like. the other thing that surprised me was the number of brand new citizens who have just gotten their citizenship coming in to vote and celebrating and taking a photograph in front of the voting site. it was wonderful to see that joy and happiness. one young man has his citizenship and his wife doesn't, she'll get it next year, and she was just singing his praises for having voted. and the last thing was the young families coming in with children, walking in so their kids could see the process. i think our hands, the future of the united states are going to be in good hands for a long time to come. stuart: which city --

>> the sheer numbers were overwhelming of the people coming in in droves -- stuart: which city? >> yeah, sarasota county. i was at the park at bee ridge. stuart: all right. >> sarasota, the city of share toe see eta. stuart: a little bit north of newspaperings. that's all i can -- >> correct. [laughter] stuart: next one, this is specifically for you. starting tomorrow, indoor dining and bar service will be banned in the chicago suburbs. and, by the way, it's snowing there. so how on earth can you survive if you can't serve food inside and nobody's going to eat it outside whilst it's snowing? we've been through this before, ed, but it seems to me that the authorities in some cities in this country are deliberately driving the restaurant business out of business. i can't believe what's going on here. >> i can't with either. in fact, governor pritzker and mayor lightfoot are really

exhibiting incredibly e bad leadership. there are solutions to these problems. tell the restaurant operators what you want, what the end result is, let them do it. i know there's an organization that's forming in the suburbs, there's 4,000 or sod members right now -- so sod members that are called stay strong, stay open. they're banding together to really take to the streets to say we're not going to comply. we're going to go bankrupt. chapter 11 is the only solution that lightfoot and pritzker's idiocy brings. you know, illinois' been run for the last 50 years or so by the democrats. they have failed in so many ways. they bought votes with extreme pension plans that they can't pay for. pelosi's holding up legislation right now to try to get them money to cover their pensions because she doesn't want to lose those votes. and the reality of it is they need the fix their own problems,

and shutting down restaurants, forcing bankruptcy, putting these small business people out of buzz is just insane, and it's not going to work. ultimately, the american people are going to rise up and say enough is enough. you know, stuart, that there are 313 people a day, over 500,000 people have moved out of illinois in the last four and a half years. it's all because of insane taxes, overregulation and incensingtivity to the guy on the street that's trying to earn a living for his family. it's critical there. stuart: by the way, ed, in italy where they've just reimposed some strict restrictions, there were street demonstrations and a near riot. i think you're talking about pretty much the is same thing. looks like it's building here in the united states. ed renzi, i'm sorry i'm out of time, but thanks so much for being with us. gotta run. you know how it is, hard breaks. >> go vote. [laughter] stuart: okay. i'm staying in chicago here. we've got a new report that says

property taxes in chicago just skyrocketing in the past two decades. but listen to this, grady trimble is there. he's going to tell us that the city could see another tax hike soon. go ahead. report, please, grady. >> reporter: yeah, stuart the, that's in the mayor's -- if the mayor's proposed budget passes. property taxes in chicago have increased by 115% over the past 20 years. compare that to the cost of living which has increased by only 36% and wages which have gone up only 57%. this is according to a new report from the cook county treasurer. she says she did the report because people are flooding her office unable to pay their taxes. and here's what she has to say about the ever increasing taxes in chicago and the surrounding areas. everyone, the taxpayers, cutting back during the pandemic, but the property tax bill is going up. it's not working. and this comes as the city council is milling over -- or

mulling over the 2021 budget. it has a $1.2 billion shortfall. one of the ways mayor lori lightfoot is proposing filling that is with a gas tax increase and raising property taxes. stuart? stuart: here it comes. [laughter] it's like a freight train coming right at you. all right, grady, thank you very much, sir. all right. now, interesting story here, bank fees. i don't pay much attention to them, but i am told that we, collectively, are now paying record banking fees. lauren, are you going to tell me why? >> well, the reason is rates are low, and the banks need to make money, and consumers are cash-strapped, so they're inswiping their credit cards less. all that is bad for the banks. so what they're doing is charging a record fee of $15.50 for interest checking accounts that don't have balances of about $7500. meanwhile, those interest accounts, the interest is about .04%.

that's tied for a record low if you look -- [laughter] i know. it doesn't even pay off in the end e. and also the fee if you overdraw, that did hit a record high as well of about $33.50. americans are hurting. the banks are getting squeezed, and they are slowly starting to squeeze you and me as well. atm fees have not gone up, by the way. i hate the atm fees. i'll drive 3 extra miles to save $3. stuart: you know how i get cash when i walk into the bank branch? write a check for cash. >> i do that sometimes too, despite my young age. [laughter] stuart: youthful inexperience, that's what it is there, lauren. susan's going to chime in any moment, but we're not going to let her. [laughter] condo sales -- mute. condo sales are surging in south florida, and people are asking for a lot more than just a fancy view of the i city. no, they want, like, on-site doctors.

♪ ♪ stuart: all right, we're still down 125 points for the dow, we're still up 72 on the nasdaq. split markets. now, we've got a report says las vegas sands could just ditch las vegas, walk away. where are they walking to? >> looking to sell off their biggest casino, $6 billion. where are they walking off too? what about asia? they have lots of outlets, and did you know that the u.s. only represents around 15% of their revenue?

that's a sign of the changing times, isn't it? we should point out that las vegas sands, largest casino company in the world, its founder, sheldon sheldon adelsof the biggest trump donors. just recently he injected $75 million into the trump reelection campaign. but i was shocked to see how small and how shrinking the u.s. business is. stuart: you've with the to macaw, right? a ma coo, what strikes you is the amount of money put on the table. >> yes. it is the largest gaming hub in the world. stuart: absolutely. >> four times the biggest strip. stuart: at least. it's been that way for some years. asia is heavy duty. >> yeah. stuart: thanks, susan. this on a related note, a new billion dollar resort opening in vegas tomorrow. derek stephens is the ceo of circa resort and casino. derek is with us now. i know there is a delay on this transmission if, so i have to ask you individual questions and

then give you time to respond. so here's the first question: i why on earth are you spending a billion dollars downtown when everybody else goes to the strip? >> well, i don't know, stuart. you know, this has been a project that's been in the works for five years. remember, downtown las vegas has an awful lot of tourism. when i bought my first casino in downtown las vegas, that was 2006, called the golden gate. bought fitzgerald's which turned into the d in 2012, and this project's been in the works here since 2015. the one great thing about downtown the las vegas and the fremont street experience is the visitation. in 2019 the fremont street experience did 24 million people in visitation. this was the second most visited tourist destination in america. so while we're pretty bullish about downtown las vegas and, well, you know, the strip and downtown, we're really not competitors.

we're complementary. it's only a couple miles away, and we all get along pretty well. stuart: i'm glad you straightened me out because i'm a frequent vegas visitorrer. don't go downtown very much, but i promise i will. your new casino, i'm told it has new safety features? because of the pandemic or something else? describe it. >> yeah. we had a couple of things. really not because of the pandemic. in 2017 we designed a couple of things that i think are pretty unique, and people like to talk about them in today's environment. first, we built an hvac system that's underground so all the heating and cooling comes up from the ground. we sit on a raised floor in both levels of our casino. number one, it's more efficient. but, number two, it also provides the air flow that goes directly up. and in an environment where smoking is allowed, we believe this provides a much cleaner air environment for both smokers and

nonsmokers. so that's the one element from an hvac system that we think is different. and then, and then with one of our major awe tractions, which is called stadium swim, this is an outdoor pool aqua theater where it's six pools, you've got the sun, the fun, the music in las vegas, and you have you have 143-foot screen where you can watch the games, and you have all the odds up there. but what with we did is back a few years ago we agreed that we really wanted to focus on having the cleanest water in any pool. so we, we'll be able to change our water over five times the rate of new other pool system. and then with quite a bit of the uv technology, we're really going to focus on selling some clean water while you're having fun in the sun. stuart: derek, that was fun. that was excellent. we found out where downtown is. susan li, my colleague here, didn't know. we're interested in that, 2 miles away from the strip, good stuff.

and we find out it's got all these millions of visitors. didn't know that either. derek, the best of luck with your own casino. wish i could be there, best of luck to you. derek stevens. now this, miami, a spike in condo sales. but, ah, ashley, you know the story here, the buyers want more than just a view, don't they? >> i think certainly do. back in april with the lockdown in place across the cup including south florida, quarantining in a condo was not popular. we saw an exodus into the residential areas outside of densely-populated areas. we certainly saw that in new york and, oh, yes, elsewhere including miami. well, now the operators of luxury condo buildings in south florida are rolling out the red carpet and a lot more to try and attract people back to the high-end high-rise on the beach. for instance, at the ritz carlton residences in sunny isles beach, buyers can expect

live entertainment, beach butler service. how about that one? [laughter] beach butler, service. and private chefs' dinners. and guess what? it appears to be working. all four penthouses in that building is have now sold. a luxury condo building in nearby surf has installed call buttons allowing residents to simply sum money one of the building's full-time butlers in an instant. also you mentioned this before the break, health services proving to be an attractive option with so many people avoiding crowded doctors' offices. condo buildings are finding memberships in a private medical practice are proving to be a big hit with buyers. and guess what? all of this is working according to caldwell banker. condo sales last month in south florida up 25% over the same period a year ago. you just want to have some of those extra perks like a beach butler.

stuart: well, look, ashley, it's very clear, isn't it? all it takes is money. it really is that simple. that's all it is. there you go. thanks, ashley. [laughter] >> you're welcome. stuart: got to show you something. the electric truckmaker went pluck this week, investors seem to like them. not today, they're down over 7%, but we're going to bring lordstown motor's ceo to you in just a moment. ♪ ♪ my name is henry. working within amazon transportation services, i really saw the challenge of climate change.

can you compete with that? >> well, we're kind of in a different lane. we're selling to workers, to fleet customers, so we have 600 horsepower which is quite a bit, but we're, we're not a luxury vehicle like that. we're priced down, we're priced the same as a regular internal combustion. is so we're about commercials. stuart: i can get a ford f-150 gasoline-powered or electric, i think, for about $50-60,000. how much is an endurance pickup? >> yeah. we're $45,000 with a tax credit. stuart: do you have those little motors on each wheel so that -- >> yes. stuart: you do? you can steer the each wheel independent lu. >> yep. so it's true four-wheel drive. we have a motor and a computer on each wheel. stuart: what else have have you got to set you apart from the competition? >> yeah, great question. well, we're -- we get 75 i mile per gone equivalent. so just imagine telling a fleet operator after 95 years all the

pickup trucks get about 15 miles per gallon and this one gets 75. we intend it to be the safest pickup truck, right? we don't have a big v8 in there, so a lot of crush zone. we handle great. we handle like a sports car. we get great traction because of the true four-wheel drive. and, of course, it's the greenest. so it's the most economical, the greenest and the safest vehicle. that's our goal. stuart: and all of it made in america. >> all made in america, correct. stuart: am i right in saying with an electric motor, it's easier to build a car because there's not so many moving parts compared to a combustion engine, is that accurate? >> yeah, the physical part is easier. software and kind of the smarts that go into it are harder, but you get to, obviously, softer is easy to multiply e once you've got it done. stuart: when can i actually buy one? >> you can buy one now, but you can take delivery e in september. stuart: of next year. >> of next year, correct.

stuart: 45-50,000 bucks out the door. >> yeah. stuart: okay. so i know you're going to hedge your bets, but who do you think will be the best candidate for ohio? because that's where you produce. trump or biden? i know you're going to hedge your bets because you don't want to say this guy's better because he might lose, right? >> well, you know, the truth is we've had great support from both sides of the aisle. you know, we were at the white house a couple weeks ago. we've had tim ryan here, our congressman, and we -- who doesn't like jobs? we're restarting a shuttered factory in the midwest. we're bringing the innovation here. so we've enjoyed great support from both sides. stuart: steve burns, you're going to be a popular guy with the endurance pickup truck. thanks for being on the show, we appreciate it. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: sure thing. check the big board real fast, we're down 92 points. 27,592. and they're going to play the beatles. we will be back.
