former secretary of state colin powell has passed away from complications due to covid, good morning he was 84, do you know anything more. lauren: his family posted a statement and said colin powell former u.s. secretary of state and chairman of the joint chief of staff passed away this morning due to complications due to covid-19, he was fully vaccinated we want to take the medical staff of the medical center for their caring treatment, we lost a remarkable loving husband, father, grandfather and a great american he was the first black secretary of state appointed by george w. bush at one point in his career, his popularity so high, and without he would've made a presidential run but later he was criticized for pushing faulty intelligence before the united nations about the alleged existence of weapons of mass destruction in iraq. he was fully vaccinated but he had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma that is a type of blood

cancer that hurts the body's ability to fight infection. stuart: i would ask doctor siegel later on if he died with covid or from covid, i believe there's a distinction between the two. i will ask the doctor about that one. michael waltzed from the great state of florida joins me now, your reaction to the passing of colin powell. >> any young soldier like myself that came up in the 1990s admired and revered chairman powell for his leadership in the first call for an analyst in the media thought we were going to pay tens of thousands of counsel fees in that war to liberate kuwait from saddam hussein, it was the largest most significant conflict since vietnam and his steadfast message was something to be admired. just the arc of his life, coming here as the son of jamaican immigrants, rising to the rank,

national security advisor the reagan chairman of the joint chief and then of course secretary of state amazing this is just another loss and we cannot decide where this virus came from if he didn't die directly from that. but it certainly complications of existing conditions paid we can't lead sight of the fact of where this came from, came from china and they covered it up and millions are dead we lost another great american because of it. stuart: everyone liked him, he was admired and respected on both sides of the aisle. i'm going to pick up on the china theme a new report reveals china has tested a nuclear cable hypersonic missile that travels all the way around the earth at 21000 feet, nuclear capable, you are the armed services committee, how comes we were caught by surprise? >> i cannot overstate how serious this is this is the sputnik moment the chinese communist party is an arms race

with the united states and i am beginning to think that we are losing and that is not hyperbole, let me tell you why this weapon system is so, so serious it is basically a ballistic missile that can maneuver so when these things come we can immediately tell when it launches about where is going to hit in his days on a trajectory so with the geometry or missile defense can take it out. now this thing can maneuver and also change altitude that our satellites cannot see it. it can also avoid the direction that our radars are facing so we can come in behind our systems. at the first strike weapon this is almost indefensible and here is the thing, they have stolen technology and they have stolen their way into this position. we have got to wake up to the fact between espionage, cyber

and bombing the technology with wall street and others are all too happy to sell from acquisition is a real problem. stuart: it is a problem indeed, michael waltz thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. let's get back to the financial market, take a look at futures all in the bed this morning i caught mr. saying our supply chain issues and inflation will last well into next year. that is a significant negative jason katz join us this morning, the white house's warning about the ongoing problems, do you see it as a serious problem for the market down the road? >> i don't see as a problem but if we don't get past this issue in the next three to six months it will certainly weigh on earnings. this quarter 45 companies have reported they beaten by in large and in fact 80% has beaten and we will see a 30% surgeon earnings, companies with pricing power are surging those that have not and can't will have

difficulty in the months ahead. stuart: why are you calling this the most misunderstood bill market bull market of our time, why do you say that? >> i remember with the market started really surging shortly after the depths of covid and you and i talked about the most hated bull market of all time now it is the most misunderstood. the common person is scratching their head, you talked about supply chain issues and wage inflation, housing inflation, respected debt ceiling what does that mean for inflation how are we a few percentage points away from the height, the answer the fact that you and i every week talk about it means the market which is a self tacking mechanism is keenly aware of it. this earnings season a lot of analysts have slashed estimates. i think in the next quarter or two to some extent is baked into the cake, after that all bets

are off. stuart: after that, all bets are off, i can't wait for that to arrive. thank you very much indeed. let's get to the crypt is, why not a nice search for the weekend i believe bitcoin hit 62000, 60600 now, what we have on this. lauren: $2000 of a new all-time high proshares say bitcoin features etf trades tomorrow the ito is the kicker this is only the future so not bitcoin itself but it makes exposure accessible for retail and institutional investors that have a lot of cash so the floodgates will open and then you had the story jeff dorsey the ceo of square says he wants bitcoin mining to be as easy as plugging into a power source, he wants bitcoin to be available for everybody these are the reasons why receiving the price hold about 60000 and could take on a new high in the

coming days, in fact another future and etf should get approval this week. stuart: the alternative to gold inflation but this news on etf launch tomorrow i think that's big. tell me about apple please, they have their product day-to-day, i am interested in this thing i believe and my ex process? lauren: very fast and long battery life the probe would be powered by that over the intel chip, if you look at computers the pro has not had a revamp in two years. this is a huge industry for apple but it's been slowing down now we are heading into the fourth quarter and we see a ramp-up christmas gifts, people get computers so we'll see what apple says. he gets people excited about something other than the iphone.

ten is for sure, back to the features real fast this is how will open the market on this monday morning 20 minutes from now a lot of red the left-wing media not hiding his frustration with this president, watch this. >> president biden has to get more involved there was a news report that said the white house was getting frustrated with congress and i'm sitting there saying you guys can do something about it. stuart: has the president lost the media? all ask jim jordan and we will talk to him about that. a top treasury official says the only way out of the inflation crisis is everyone rolling up their sleeves. roll tape. >> the only way we will get to a place where we were to this transition is everyone an american everyone around the world gets vaccinated. >> that is our weight out of inflation, i can't imagine stephen moore agreeing with that but i will ask him anyway. he is on the show next. ♪

white house how does inflation hurt the president's agenda? >> is pretty much canceled out by rising wages which is one of the reasons the white house had major supply chain problems people are making more money and buying more things and that's why one of the ports are clogged with an excess amount of goods but there is a solution for trying to clear up the congestion in the bipartisan infantry bill president biden set aside $17 billion that would be a welcome injection of cash to fix some of the supply issues and get ports going in the goods moving into the u.s., there is not a push for congress to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill separately, still they are on board with holding onto that until the social spending side of the president's agenda is past as well, the white house press secretary jen psaki was asked about a controversial

retweet from ron klain where they tweak described inflation as a high-class problem and she made the case when you look at an employment going down, wages going up that means more people are going back to work and more people are getting a paycheck and they are buying more things and that's adding to the supply chain issues because people are spending money and buying goods at an unprecedented level but when you look at inflation in the way that inflation is sitting over 5% wages are up over 4% that's pretty much canceled out people are paying more for everyday items by transportation secretary pete buttigieg who has been trying to figure out how to clear up the congestion in the ports to get

goods on the move said the private sector is the one that is not keeping up, he said businesses are not really good enough job of leading the new demand of people buying more things. stuart: it's our fault, secretary buttigieg is back let me jump right into tout the success of president biden's economic recovery. his economic recovery. >> if you think about the images of ships waiting on anger on the west coast every one of those is full of record amount of goods that americans are buying because demand is that because income is up and the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrified recession. stuart: inflation is a result of strong demand, and stephen martin take that to pieces. what do you say about that. >> first of all i work for to president ronald reagan and donald trump both of them create a great economic boom where you had a big increase in demand for goods and services in both of those cases inflation went down it did not go well. this idea that were facing the

supply chain disruption in the higher prices because people want more goods and services it's an idea that so discredited there always trying to find an excuse the idea is that of divided them into the administration fessing up to their mistakes they always blame someone else for the problems. we have a problem because we pay too much people to stay unemployed. is not that we don't have enough dockworkers we don't have enough people once we get the stuff off and the ships onto the tracks and we don't have enough truck drivers to get the merchandise to the warehouses and we don't have enough people to warehouses to stock the staff, exhibit problems at the academy and i believe the energy crisis that has been manufactured by biden because were not producing enough oil and gas in this country are also contributing to the inflation problem. by the way, who takes a job and

six months after they take a very important high level ceo job in charge of intrigue and other industry and goes on a two month leave, that's ridiculous in the middle of a crisis. stuart: quickly, how do we get rid of inflation? >> we need to have the fed stop the 0 interest rate policies, we need to make sure were producing more oil and gas because energy is a primary input of everything that we produce, so when the energy price goes up, as is going up right now, that crisis is everything to go up on the camera that you're looking into from the breakfast that you have this morning to the bed you slept on, everything is driven on energy, i don't understand the logic on energy policy, that america will produce less energy and that will go to the saudis and russians and asked them to produce more. stuart: we have inflation it's

here to stay until the end of the year at the 5% level, thank you for joining us we will see you later. update everybody on china's economy, they just reported the third quarter gdp numbers and it was disappointing. lauren: 4.9% the third quarter and had to go back from 7.9 in denver 18% in the first quarter this is why it's so important their power outages led to the factory slowing down. our factories here are slowing down we got the latest industrial production numbers. what happened to the supply chain in china and the u.s. aren't producing as much as they need to. stuart: we got the numbers on factory output. the factories are just not busy there is always strong demand but the factories are not busy is that accurate? lauren: the number we were

expecting to rise and actually fell and then there's the rate that is formally called capacity utilization and not surprisingly fell as well that says labor shortage all over it, power shortage in china, labor shortage here that the disaster going into 2022. stuart: it's a disaster for inflation factories are not producing what people are demanding more from the price goes up. stuart: let's check the market a lot of red down 150 on the dow, 60 off on the nasdaq. ♪ retirement income is complicated. as your broker, i've solved it. that's great, carl. but we need something better. that's easily adjustable

stuart: netflix has been doing very well recently and premarket of $4 today as $632 a share, they report tomorrow afternoon. jeff sica is a net under netflix analyst of the day is tomorrow's earnings report going to be about the squid game? >> it is going to keep in mind for the first two quarters netflix did not participate in this rally in the last quarter covid-19% gain that we see now is what led to the squid games

release, the squid games release will determine tomorrow how much this show added to the subscriber base. stuart: do you think added a lot to the subscriber base, is worldwide popular. >> it is, for the record i have to say this show is a gruesome show and i had such a hard time getting through it. one thing i will say netflix their model with this algorithm in targeting international markets is really showing itself and squid games because this is a south korean made show that they made for $22 million for seven episodes that is most likely going to bring in more subscribers that they've ever seen this is a proxy on netflix

algorithm and how well it works if i was in charge of netflix i would never in a million years thought the show would be potentially the biggest show that they have ever had, they are predicting is going to make them over $1 billion which is shocking but it shows that the algorithm works and it will open up international territory for them. stuart: will the controversy around dave chapelle and his special on netflix, does that hurt netflix subscriber growth at all or is it completely outside the things affecting the stock? >> i don't think it hurts netflix, the way netflix handled it in the letting dave chapelle say when he needs to say, he is a comic genius, he brings a lot of people to the table at least

until now they handled it the way that they did. let's face it, controversy is good for viewers because more people tune into the special to see what the big commotion is about and that will grow the subscriber base even more. >> we will be watching dialogue with the rest of the world, jeff sica, we have started trading, right from the start we have a loss, a triple digit loss for the dow industrial and most of the dow 30 are opening up in the bread, the s&p 500 also in the bed this morning, not a huge loss, one third of 1%, how about the nasdaq that is down one third of 1% as well, let me have a look at big tech i presume there on the downside except for facebook which is up there but the rest of them on the downside again, let's have a look at facebook they are up $4, $3.328

is the price now apparently in america. >> in europe their hiring 10000 europeans over the next five years including specialized engineers, they're going to build out the meta- verse the 3d digital world being held. the next phase of the internet comes with privacy concerns, i think this is a pr move in europe, let me remind you, we are hiring these workers because you have to facebook whistleblowers testifying this week and next in europe. stuart: you are thinking that a sane look what were doing for europeans, we will pay a lot of money, is that what he is saying? tell me about virgin galactic, we are watching that on friday it really tanked after they delayed their spaceflight, their data get this morning, is ubs

saying something. lauren: following the delay is a year delay of the next space launch it was supposed to happen this fall now this is the end of next year with this decline there also/ slashing the price target from 15 - 26. stuart: they think it it will go down more? lauren: ticket sales will be the focus but they will provide a catalyst, it's so far away. stuart: he is losing to musk and bezos, that's basically what is happening, my opinion, disney is down this morning i know they were done recently what is this about, down 2%, subscriber growth. it has slowed despite all the good stuff they have new franchise, new movies like black widow and jungle cruise but barclays cuts them to equal weight this is well below average growth required to get

to the subscriber goals and they say china is a headwind because they have to plant out on everything and they're starting to do that on content they do it more and disney will hurt because china is a big part of their business. stuart: it wasn't that long ago when disney was over $200 a share i find this story very interesting and called zillow they will hit the pause on purchasing homes let me see if i got this right zillow made a lot of money buying homes ventilating them and then reselling them and flipping basically that's what they did as a real estate platform now they're putting the flipping business on hold, why are they doing that. lauren: they cannot do because the system is clogged when they look at how long it takes to renovate a home i will give you the quote from the coo, we are operating with the labor and supply constrained economy inside a competitive real estate

market the stock is down 8% as a result they will continue to do this for contracts that ever even signed but they cannot sign new contracts because they don't have the labor and the materials that they need to renovate quickly and put back on the market. >> another supply chain victim dow is down to a point, attention we found a winner the grocery store chain albertson's has slipped to the negative i thought they had good earnings. lauren: a surprise rise in same-store sales, pharmacy sidwell administering the covid shot, they raise the full-year guidance and increasing dividends but the market is down so albertson's is down. stuart: down another 1% in the dow is down 200 i don't know how you pronounce this is it revamps there. they are way down they have a new botox i made a go with three vans. down 39%, biotech company they have about text like treatment

secondary causes of what covid does to the body. he was at risk unfortunately, he was 84 years old which puts them at high risk, overweight higher risk and he had parkinson's disease, we don't know what else that put them at a high risk group and you said before we came on he is fully vaccinated which is true, a couple points we don't know which vaccine, we don't know whether he had the booster were not because from the israel data received a big decrease in the hospitalizations after the booster and this is not a message that the vaccine does not work because your chances if you had the vaccine, even if you didn't have the booster of getting sick and getting hospitalized or dying remains quite low but this is an idea of why we need the booster for higher risk groups. stuart: i wish you could sort something out for us, if you take a covid test and you test positive, does that mean you're considered one more new case? >> that is true and that's a

really good point because you don't know that positive is real or not can be a false positive in as soon as you test positive you're on the list and you go through all of that, but also on the other hand at the risk of inflating these numbers, i don't think were doing enough test you just showed a picture of anthony fauci and is talking about the unvaccinated a prettiness at risk, i don't like that kind of shaming and calling people leopards, it's more important that we test more or less know who has this because were talking about a breakthrough case today was somebody passed away unfortunately and we wish his family the best he's a great american hero. the vaccine isn't everything is it, it's months past where everybody should be ashamed it's not what you get more people to take the vaccine going that way. stuart: are we seeing a rise in covid anxiety amongst youngsters and what exactly is that, how is

that manifested? >> that is huge and i call that the second pandemic, the study that i featured in my wall street journal op-ed showed 135 million people around the world with disorders, huge anxiety depressive disorders, that is the tip of the iceberg you meant to children, they have been so disrupted it's hard to find one that is not anxious or depressed this is billions and billions of people around the world whether they've had covid or not and whether they knew someone with covid were not, the study points out is because of decreased mobility people shattered in place not going out and not meeting new people not interacting, closing schools which turned out to be in the enormous mistake and you and i said so, although that cause the second pandemic of depression and anxiety. stuart: i'm out of time but great information, we will see you again soon, jodi ernst representing, kayleigh mcenany, jim jordan just ahead.

there, right? if he had been there would it have been different, who knows? what we know this administration every single policy area is worse than it was under president trump. we had things moving in the right direction in a big way under president trump. these guys have messed up everything. it is driven by their crazy policies. the president of the united states begging opec to increase oil production particularly when just a few months ago we were energy independent, that tells you how serious, how bad the situation is. stuart: congressman, former secretary of state colin powell has passed, passed of covid complications. he was liked by both sides of the aisle. that is something of a rarity in politics today. what say you? >> he appreciate mr. powell's service, general powell's service to our country. secretary of state, joint chiefs of staff. long service to our country. we're thinking about his family today obviously.

thereof on social media and platforms. authoritarianism doesn't mean it is not authoritarianism. he is making an important point. that authoritarianism, no matter where it is we shouldn't accept in a free democratic society. stuart: he is not saying trump derangement syndrome is nuts, he is not actually saying that he is implying it under the surface. >> if you isolate people, push them away out of society they might not react so well to being pushed out. stuart: well-said. get back to the markets. we have a great guest this morning. you know this man. it is dennis gartman. dennis gartman says the bull market has ended. and the bear market has begun and this bear market started in tech. well, dennis, them's fighting words. you want to explain yourself? >> actually, let's talk about the fact that i am somewhat bearish on stocks.

i'm not overtly therefore and what you have understand the movement from a bull market to a bear market is a process. it takes time. it doesn't usually happen overnight unlike what happened 35 or 40 years ago with october 19th, when we had the enormous crash. usually the tops are made over five, six, seven, eight months. it takes time for stocks to be distributed from strong hands into weak hands. i think that is the process that's going on. interest rates are beginning to move higher. it is long overdue to take the 10-year yield from 1.5, 1.6. it has to go to the course of 3, 4% next four years. that will be deleterious to share prices on balance. debt very mental to tech stocks. i'm my own account, marginally, this is the operative, marginally net long and getting less long as the weeks go by. eventually i will be short of stocks. i will be overly bearish of stocks.

i'm quietly getting less bullish. i think the bear market started. i think it began when the russell made the high back in the spring. we're seeing dow, s&p, nasdaq seem to have made their tops in late august, early september. we'll see how it works out. higher rates, the fact the public is overtly long on stocks, tells me that a bear market quietly, slowly laboriously, process civilly begun. you don't have to panic. you don't have to get out right away. i think it's a process. it will take months to develop. we're. stuart: we're not process. >> we're in the process. stuart: dennis thanks for being mere. good to see you. >> thank you, stuart. cheers. stuart: time to cover the crip comarket. i see bitcoin over the weekend actually hit $62,000. the first bitcoin etf is set to launch tomorrow and we're told that's one of the reasons why bitcoin is all doing so well. back on the screen. you know why we put him back on the screen? because he is a crypto guy. you will like this, an etf makes

it easier to get into the market. >> this is a futures etf. this is not a etf that owns bitcoin itself. this that is the next big step. will the sec allow a bitcoin etf. that you can go to institutional investors hold it for you. i don't know they will do that stuart, but as we see more big money, more smart money, more institutions coming into crypto i think we'll continue to see it explode. as inflation rolls, you do the inflation story every day. i don't know if it will be the perfect hedge as gold and silver was in the past. a lot of people like myself believe this will be a hedge on a devalued dollar. stuart: you stay with me the whole hour. >> whole hour. i need to match my tie with you, stuart, blue-on-blue. stuart: we do have movers. downside mover in the market moderated. what are the big movers, please? lauren: i want to start with

energy. occidental petroleum leading the mark evident. truist came in, increased stock price 50 bucks. a gain of 58% from friday. they like record cash flow for occidental. stuart: oil went to 83.50. lauren: i think it will keep going up. i heard 200-dollar calls for brent. stuart: for brent. 100-dollar calls for wti. yes, they are a winner today, 2.25% up. lauren: wedbush sees another strong quarter. full year deliveries topping 900,000 and about 1 1/2 million next year. that is how he defends his 1000-dollar price target on tesla. stuart: i like online lenders like upstart. they are down 5%. why? lauren: double downgrade by bank of america. they say the upside is already prized in. they're right. the stock is up 800%. take your 5% loss you're still a

huge winner on the year. we missed out on that one. stuart: i missed out you're certainly right, lauren. president biden has only given 10, one-on-one interviews since taking office. president trump gave 50 interviews in his first year. do saki and klain have biden under control? kayleigh mcenany takes that on. governor of texas, mexican cartels are firing at national guard officers at the border. roll tape. >> the cartels on the mexican side of the border they're beginning to open fire on the national guard that texas has down on the border to secure the border. this is escalating into a firing war. stuart: good lord. mike tobin is at the border and he will file a report for us on exactly that in just a moment. . that's why they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need.

rounds, factions of the cartels took shots at each other. the texas department of public safety, as recently as saturday night, gunmen at mexican side are taking potshots at u.s. personnel. they point to destabilization at the texas border. chad world blames the biden administration. >> violence along the border, fiving into the united states, having cartel members in the united states you have to be very direct with the government of mexico and have them do more, step up their screening and their police force along that northern border. reporter: flow of migrants and illegal border crossings professor stop. our drone screw spotted a group of six, five men and women el salvador, guatamala, honduras, and mexico. this was a group of runners. migrants hope to slip in the u.s. without being detected. they were picked up and processed. usually see immigrants cross turn themselves in the first opportunity believing they will stay in the u.s. after they were

i have to say that, that is a fact. he sold out the american people in security of this nation to become president because he needed support of progressive left. there is no other reason you would do so much damage to the southern border and our sovereignty. stuart: tom homan, thanks for being here. i'm sure we will see you real soon. i have this for you a washington state trooper has a message for governor jay inslee, after quitting his job over the vaccine mandate. watch please. >> asked to leave because i am dirty. last time you will hear me in a state patrol car. and jay inslee can kiss my [bleep] stuart: he is out because he will not take the vaccine. congress set aside $40 billion for people to pay the rent during the pandemic. landlords are not getting the money they were expecting. now they're forced to sell their properties. we have a report for you.

economists predicting 5% inflation for the rest of this year. that is a very high level, the highest sustained rate of inflation in 30 years. the market was way down at the opening bell. it has come back just a little bit. before i go anywhere else i want to ask sean duffy about inflation. a man with nine children is presumably seeing a great, huge, enormous bill at the grocery store. >> stuart, i know it well. i buy six gallons of milk a week. milk two years ago in wisconsin was 2.50 a gallon, we're up to 4.50. eggs, meat, price at the grocery store affect my bottom line. lauren: i want to ask you how much you spend a week on groceries i really do. i know what i spend. you have double the trouble. >> i'm a walmart shopper. two carts at walmart. 4, $500 plus. stuart: really? >> it is. lauren: without a doubt. stuart: i better move on. i just digested briefly.

lauren: the kids want to order food. >> we're eating in. stuart: kids, don't let the kids do that. >> oh, no. i can't afford that, stuart. stuart: back to the market. we have some stocks that are moving including medtronic, which is way down. lauren: we'll start with the losers. they have a hypertension treatment device. they have been developing it for a decade. it is delayed again. whatever revenue they thought they would get from a positive result, pushback now. price down 5%. stuart: walgreens, i would like to check the stock price. it is down. lauren: it is a loser but the news for them is good. the flu activity is up 23% this year compared to last year. the flu shot market is a big market. you would think that would turn the stock. we got our flu shots yesterday. stuart: moderna? lauren: a winner. the news is good. the vaccine market will double not only for moderna but pfizer. total sales, $93 billion, from

health data group infinity. they predict moderna and pfizer will control 3/4 of the vaccine market. stuart: moderna and pfizer straight up. told you about landlords during the pandemic unable to evict non-paying renters. some are forced to sell their rental properties because not enough government money came through to them. jeff flock joins us from philadelphia. that is the problem, right? landlords didn't get the covid money in time, so now they have got to sell, is that the story? reporter: that is exactly the story. $46 billion, federal dollars out there. you would like to blame the federal government but in some ways it is not the feds. actually money in the hands of state and local governments which have been slow to disperse the money that has really hit the landlords because they had the eviction moratorium. they weren't getting income. paying property tax.

still paying mortgage. look at numbers in philadelphia, which has done a pretty good job of getting money in the hands of people. in 2019, 3 or 4% of the rental market was on the market. well in 2020, that jumped to 20.9% a five-fold increase. this place here, right now, this is 10 north 54th street in philadelphia. $135,000. that is a duplex there. it is fully rented but the guy is selling. we talked to a landlord in philadelphia who said he had a guy he was ready to evict before the moratorium t kicked in. he went over a year without any income. like the proper was essentially taken away from him. listen to what he told us. >> you want your property back because you're paying taxes on it. carrying the maintenance on it, you made an investment. you're being told you can't do anything. so that was pretty discouraging to me to make me consider, really selling out of the city and take my money elsewhere.

reporter: you know who that is hurting the most, stuart? because when you sell a property, and you buy a property, generally you kind of upgrade it, you crank up the rent or turn it into condos. who does that hurt? it hurts people that need -- truck goes by. that need affordable housing. the rent is going up as well. it has been kind of a lose-lose situation here with the rental help. stuart: sounds like the train came right past you there. you got out of that pretty well, jeff flock. you're all right. i will stay on the housing market to bring in jerry howard who is the ceo of the national association of homebuilders. we got the homebuilder sentiment number up four points, very strong 80. i was surprised at that. i would have thought the labor shortage, the supply chain shortages kicked in to hurt your business? >> demand is totally driving it. there is still huge consume every demand in small cities and

exurb ban areas that we're seeing a great deal of traffic a lot of people are interested. you're hitting nail on the head, stuart. i got home from the meeting of the national housing industry. builders from all over the country. the supply chain is going to be a major problem if we don't get it fixed very soon. everything from lumber to drywall, to concrete, to appliances, three, four months delays and the product all sits on the boats in ports around the country. it's a looming, looming crisis. stuart: how much does the supply chain problem add to the price of a house and the length of time it takes to you build it? >> obviously time is money. the longer it takes, the more it is going to add to the price of the house. right now we're looking at at least a few thousand dollars depending on where you are and what products you're talking about. so it is housing affordability is a problem. as you just said on the previous

report in the rental market. now it is getting to be a problem in the first-time home buyer market. that doesn't bode well for housing or the economy. stuart: did you see that from zillow? they're going to pause their home purchases and they're blaming the supply chain crisis for a backlog in renovations? that is exactly what you're seeing, isn't it. >> remodeling market, renovations, new construction, no one can get product. i waited two months for a mart for my refrigerator. two months for one small part. stuart: tell me, what else is in short supply? >> stuart. like i said, it is everything. it started out as a lumber problem. now it has gone to concrete to, drywall, to every kind of appliance. even some of our guys are report having trouble getting tools they want to buy. stuart: is this just because of a labor shortage or all backed

up on the ships in california? >> it is backed up on the ships. in the port of long beach and los angeles it is incredible how many ships are out there docked waiting to be unloaded. stuart: all right. jerry howard, always good stuff. thanks for being with us. we're pleased that your business is in great shape but we're worried about the time and the expense of this supply chain problem. thanks, jerry. see you again. >> canary in the coal mine. thank you. stuart: canary in the coal mine, good one. nurses at a hospital in illinois say they were denied religious exemptions from the vaccine mandate. they're fighting to keep their jobs. their lawyer is going to join us in the 11:00 hour. rules for me not for thee. president biden caught defying the d.c. indoor mask mandate. he was not the only democrat breaking indoor mask rules. we have the list. we'll be back.

stuart: markets are mixed this morning. nasdaq is up 12. the dow is down 73. look at disney. that stock is down. barclays warned of slowing subscriber growth. that is always a problem for disney. it is the biggest loser of all the dow 30 stocks today, down about 3%. that takes about 37 points off the dow industrials. look at this, president biden and the first lady caught violating washington, d.c.'s, indoor mask mandate. there they are. you're supposed to wear a mask. first lady and the president did not. sean duffy, look, i'm not exactly outraged about this. i mean, rules for thee, not for me, that kind of thing, president of the united states and the first lady he can't walk through a restaurant on his way to a fancy dinner without a mask

on? on con. >> here is the difference, stuart. if you watch president biden on the lawn of white house, no one is by him. wears a mask. if he walks through a fancy restaurant, he thinks the cameras are not on, he takes the mask off. if i go to the restaurant, you go to the restaurant, we have to wear a mask or the mask police are on us. the rules for thee, not for me is undermining the public messaging f masks work everybody should wear it. lori lightfoot at a baseball game, a picture without a mask on. everyone around her wears a mask. what frustrates me we're classifying covid, if you're in the servant class, if you're in the secret service class you have to wear a mask. you see behind joe biden the secret service are wearing masks. if you're one of the elites, one of the sophisticated you don't have to wear a mask. i don't know how covid determines the sophisticatessed from the servant class.

something is wrong with that. stuart: i do take your point. >> thank you. stuart: i'm not outraged. >> i am. i want to take my darn mask off like biden. i want to eat in freedom. stuart: listen to this story, melbourne, australia, i know it well, actually, they're about to lift the world's longest covid restrictions. lauren, how many days was that city under tight, under tight lockdown? lauren: it will be 262 days, or nearly nine months when the partial freedoms are reinstated on friday. that is when they hit the 70% vaccination rate. so guess what? you can have the friends and family over for dinner. no more than 10 people. they can leave whenever they want. no curfew. restaurant inside, 20 people

max. wedding, 20 people. get your hair done, five people allowed indoors. retail stores? nope. they're waiting for 80% vaccination rate. even when these lift, you have to wear your mask indoors. stuart: duffy, that ruined my son's business by the way. >> whatever happened to "crocodile dundee"? he would never comply with the mandates. he was a freedom loving, knife-wielding, aussie, right? come on. where is he. stuart: that's not a knife. this is a knife. great line. lauren: great accent. stuart: i have an australian accent that is pretty good. >> we think of australia as freedom loving people. they have complied with the mandates is outrageous. lauren: it is crazy. stuart: i have a story for you, for our viewers of course. this is about bitcoin, cryptos and churches. i know you're a church going kind of guy, a bitcoin kind of guy. listen to this. a church in mississippi is the first to allow church-goers to donate in crypto. the pastor of that church is pastor adam bennett who joins me now. let me get to grips with this. how does it work?

the church-goers give you actual crypto and they give you dollars and you turn it into crypto. >> they transfer the crypto asset from their wallet to our wallet. stuart: okay. so suppose i donate just say, sake of argument, one bitcoin and i transfer that one bitcoin today to your church. do i get a tax break for my charitable donation of $61,700, which is the price of value of that bitcoin when i gave it to you. is that what we get? >> yes it is. as soon as you transfer the asset, you get the appreciable value of that cryptocurrency, value whatever it be bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin. stuart: how many donations have you gotten? >> our church started taking it a few weeks ago.

still remains to be seen. i heard of other churches taking it. we're the first southern baptist church taking cryptocurrency. we're excited, whatever we can do to further the mission of jesus christ, son of god, trusting in him gives eternal life we'll use that technology. cryptocurrency is just part of the story. there is also a larger story of the blockchain network. the blockchain network allows us to transfer financial resources around the world very quickly for low fees. this can help in the future with disaster relief aid, missionaries around the world. so cryptocurrency is one part of it but the blockchain network is a technology that i think is going to revolutionize the way we do financial resources. stuart: my colleague sean duffy sitting next to me is nodding vigorously pastor. on the same page with this one, believe me. nod away, please. >> he is right. pastor, you have freedom loving americans who want the government to leave them alone

and if whatever it is will bring them into your church, fit is crypto, bringing them closer to god and jesus christ, good for you making that available. stuart: sean duffy is usually in which is not in mississippi. >> thank you, i'm a packers fan. >> i knew i liked you. i knew i liked you. stuart: pastor, see you soon. time for a quick program note, please. new episode of our fox business prime show, it is called "american built." it airs tonight. i have a preview what is coming up for you. roll it. for centuries astronomers studied the sky for answers to the great questions of human existence. it might reveal the secrets of the heavens. ♪. >> the greatest scientific instrument ever built. ♪. stuart: if they could just get it off the ground. >> always that chance.

stuart: check that market. still a mixed picture. down 82 for the dow, up 22 for the nasdaq. mixed picture. former president trump called on sean duffy to throw his hat in the race once again,

this time for governor of wisconsin. the former president said this, quote, working hard to get very popular and capable former congressman sean duffy of wisconsin to run for governor. he will be fantastic. a champion athlete. shaun will be good for the people of wisconsin. virtually unbeatable. run sean run. >> that was a brilliant statement. i couldn't agree with it more. he is putting a lot of pressure on me. that was the intent the statement. if you put a statement on this you might tell the person you will put a statement out on that. my saturday was consumed with donald trump's statement. i am grateful, appreciate that he believes we can run and win. by the way, stuart, the governors in america have the moist power right now to change the course of the country. more so than the senate and house. look at ron desantis, kristi

noem, real things happen with good states and governors. stuart: you are thinking about it but you will not make a commitment? you're not sure you will get back into politics anyway? >> i love politics. i got ought of politics. i told you i buy six gallons of milk a week. we were list we were supposed to talk about. i'm trying to dodge here. stuart: i will move on, sean to help you out. how about this one? dc comics dropped the american way from superman's slowing began. instead replacing it with truth, justice a better tomorrow. they made it as superman will come out as a bisexual. sean if you want to get into this subject, is this woke superman? >> truth, justice, this is good with the american way, but if the woke left thinks the american way is racist and misogynistic. we can't have superman be

participate of the positive way. by the way who buys comic stuart? young men buy comic books. a bisexual superman does not appeal to young men. mtv did this. they went with this different tact of lgbtq narrative. young men used to watch mtv. that is not in their viewing habits. they went somewhere else. ratings for mtv went down. i don't think anyone will buy into superman man as a trans sexual and not supporting the american way. stuart: do you have a book with your wife this christmas. >> i do. we have a fox news book. there is the talent of fox news, where people are sharing stories about christmas and fond memories when they have grown up, how they got married and how they melded those traditions together and kept them alive. everyone's unique stories about how they celebrate christmas. bill hemmer, dana, ainsley,

senator schumer is the leader of the united states senate he has a suggestion for dealing with impending crisis of airports. if tsa lags in jobs, bringing the dogs, he wants to organize k-9 teams to take the place of human checkers, 40% of tsa agents are currently unvaccinated there supposed to be fully vaccinated by november 223 days before thanksgiving. time is running out unless there is a last-minute vaccination surge there will be a staff shortage at the airports in the middle of the thanksgiving rash were about to find out how many people walk away from their jobs because of the vaccine mandate and what impact their absence will have healthcare providers, police forces, school systems trying to figure out how to operate with all the stuff that they need ceos and big companies have to figure out how to keep the key people in the middle of a labor shortage it is the

mandate the force, that is the problem you have to ask if it's necessary mandated vaccination takes no account of natural immunity ended all too many cases religious exemptions and even testing options are dismissed plus the caseload is falling sharply do we need the mandates now, crunch time comes when the mandates are enforced and people are fired, starting now one last point not connected to the mandate in tsa if you watch college football games recently you see thousands of youngsters mask lists, packed together singing and cheering and having a good time but the spiking infection that we were supposed to see simply did not materialize. the third hour of "varney & company" just getting started. ♪ kayleigh mcenany joins me

right now here in new york, my opinion you encourage vaccination, you do not mandated, what say you. >> that's exactly right, someone has vaccine hesitancy they will become more hesitant when the government rains down with the mandate it's counterproductive and what's really interesting sometimes we will forgo other elements of her health and safety like dogs instead of human security instead of vaccination status, police officers are henry jean and then my retirement, and then will mandate police officers which will cause more police officers to flee we have to balance in covid vaccine is important but how important against human security elements like tsa and police officers and et cetera. stuart: i cannot see the president withdrawing the mandate i cannot see him saying tsa is in real trouble we better not impose the mandate, there is no offering.

>> there is no offramp that's why it's a delicate balance president trump put in place a lockdown at a place in this was a novel coronavirus he was in the oval office weighing the effects of lockdown which are kids abuse did not been reported in schools, ms. mammograms in cancer diagnosis because people are lockdown versus the benefit of a lockdown, you have to have a delicate balance but biden seems to not understand that. stuart: according to the hill, the president biden has only given his ten one-on-one face-to-face interview since the start of his presidency, president trump gave 50 in his first year it seems like the president often turns around or walks away with any questions from reporters has jen psaki or wrong plane got them under control, they are the ones calling the shots. >> yes and no i say that for this reason biden has some moments where he stubborn and it's his way or the highway for instance afghanistan withdrawal that was biden's decision people were saying not this quick, it was his decision that being said

i think there's something to president claim that is undermining the president or making the decisions in his absent jen psaki said we encourage him not to take questions. there's more power than the chief of staff of the trump administration or the press secretary and the trump administration because one commander-in-chief and that was president trump. >> they are protecting president biden from himself and his delivery of the message. >> no doubt when they put up the rainbow bars and the president is again speaking, we had a policy you don't cut off the president until he says he's done they seem to cut them off before he says he's done. >> former secretary of state colin powell has died from complications from covid we have been announcing all morning, he was 84 years old and he was fully vaccinated. what do you think he will be remembered for. >> this is a tremendous loss for the country, when you talk about career officials from this

administration to administration, that is different than a political appointee which colin powell was to be selected in the reagan administration in the george w. bush administration three administrations that tell you a lot about this individual, someone who's in leadership and served as a public servant hell be remembered for his enduring political presence and his leadership. stuart: people like him a very likable guy. >> optimistic one of his points and optimism if you want to be a leader. stuart: we will be watching you kayleigh mcenany on outnumbered on fox news at 12 noon eastern today, thank you for being here. former defense secretary robert gates says president trump was right, president trump was right about china, roll the tape. >> he basically awakened americans and i would say especially the business community to china that the assumption of which we had gotten wrong in the assumption for 40 years was a richer china

would be a freer china and that's clearly not going to happen. stuart: interesting stuff from a man who was on the inside for many years. steve forbes joins us right now, did trump get china right in your opinion? >> i think he did and they have pointed out that china has become much more belligerent in the last few years initiation ping who is theoretically president of china and is acting like emperors where he expects the rest of the world to pay homage and kowtow and make gifts to the chinese emperor he is bullying neighbors try to take over the south china sea so donald trump got that right and for secretary gates to admit that must've been painful but is absolute truth. stuart: to get the relationship right entrée? >> on the trade front i'm not a tariff guy, but the key thing on china what you do on the defense

side of beefing up defense of this administration is not doing and thankfully they're going ahead with the deal with australia for nuclear submarines, very important but we have to do more in the administration hopefully people like former defense secretary putting the pressure on we need a real robust strategy in asia and the neighbors of china are willing to go along they have been living with china for thousands of years and they need no lessons from us and the dangers be imposed by beijing. stuart: i have a suggestion senator's manchin and sinema are pushing back against the lavish spending plans, why don't they change parties. >> very good question, i think there's a good chance, who knows i don't have inside information sinema might change parties first by going independent in the spirit of the late john

mccain in migrating to the republican party, i think if she left the democratic party today because of the reckless behavior i think that would do the nation and the norm is good because it would sink the terrible bills and save the democratic party from itself. stuart: do remember jumping jim jeffords i think he was a republican elected as a republican in any such parties in the middle of his term and that gave the democrats full control of the senate and the house at the time, jumping jim jeffords, sinema could do almost the same thing. >> she could i would not call it jumping is from a conviction of principle of the far left of the democratic party and remember phil gramm was a democrat congressman from texas in the 1980s to get to ronald reagan spending bills and tax cuts through congress because easily democrat it was discussed when

it was happening that party any switch parties, he then resigned from congress and seven way to run as a republican and he did in a special election so senator sinema when she gets attacked by the left she says okay let's have another election in all run as an independent see what happens. that would be a resounding rebuke as arizona is being hit by the border crisis not to mention inflation and a few other little things out there. stuart: we may have planted a couple of seeds, i hope we did. thank you for joining us. we are watching all kinds of stock movements i see playboy up 4% is there a good reason for this? >> they agreed to accompany called dream for $30 million the social content platform and lets the creator interact directly in the tech platform for playboy centerfold platform which will launch at the end of the year,

passing the massive social spending package that would increase government involvement in almost every sector of american lives but in some instances people think the white house is not doing enough to address major issues in the supply chain especially when there is an infrastructure package that would do exactly that $17 billion is included in the infrastructure package to help the more resilient and address bottlenecks and expedite commerce but transportation secretary pete buttigieg said yesterday he does not think that congress should pass the infrastructure bill before the social spending package, he also defended taking maternity leave even though he is in charge of transportation and is a person to handle the supply chain crisis, he says he still took calls even from the hospital but did not explain why he did not appoint an acting secretary to

fill in for him while he was out for two months instead he said his deputy was taking care of it he said the ports where goods are waiting in the vote and shipping containers off the coast is a sign of success because it represents record-breaking buying by americans and that is indicated above wages going up and people being back on the job but this problem is not going away anytime soon and new survey from the wall street journal forecasted that the supply chain issue, the bottlenecks were experiencing in the inflation that is part rising because of that crisis could last well into 2022. stuart: thank you very much, or than 50000 afghans are being housed on military bases around the country, 6000 have been resettled in local communities. joni ernst is with us republican from the state of iowa. what is the vetting process for

. .

stuart: we just asked you what is the current current world record for the long yum. 29 fight, 4 1/2 inches, an american, mike powell set that record literally over 30 years ago. 1991. it was the world championships in tokyo. it wasn't until powell's fifth jump he set the world record. i seem to remember when i was growing up, jesse owens record, the olympic record, was 26 and 3/4 inches. that was the record for about 30

years until powell broke it in 1991. i saw something arrive in the studio which i have to sample. we haven't cut the segment out. i can't pick the whole thing up. ladies and gentlemen, excuse me. this is, oh, god, can't do it. hold on. hold on. here is the story. give me a napkin or something. bar sometime guy, dave portnoy, is famous for the pizza reviews. portnoy sent me of 59 of his one-bite frozen pizzas. i will review it. i was going to review it tomorrow. i will review it now. we just got a small piece which is sufficiently unfrozen, not not entire cooked i will try it anyway. i believe it is the one bite rule. dave, one bite, makes his review. so here we go.

well, it is still cold. not fully cooked. but even so, it really is very, very good. trying to speak here with my mouthful which is something my mother told me never to do but nonetheless i think bottom line for me, this is an 8.5. i think that is very high on dave's scale but i will give it a 8.5. i bet he will come meant on it tomorrow. neil, it is yours. neil: you didn't eat it with a fork and a knife. stuart, thank you very, very much, my friend. we're a draw between buyers and sellers right now but much of the investment world, much of the general world, remembering a secretary of state in the end was his own man. you heard colin powell was dead of 84. died of covid we're told even though he was fully vaccinated. we'll get to that in a second. jennifer griffin at the impact
