families and children, the come back trail. lurching from crisis to crisis the democrats see massive spending as their way out of the political doldrums. the second most costly item in the infrastructure plan, the build back better, is a giveaway to the rich. $285 billion given to will be democrat donors by raising the deduction for state and local taxes. more costly than roads and bridges or in-home medical services for the elderly and it all goes to the rich. i wonder how ordinary folks will feel about that. plenty of political action, fairly flat financial markets. the dow after a 50 point gain yesterday pretty flat, down 50 this morning, s&p closed yesterday at 4700 dead flat this morning. nasdaq, big game tuesday, closed around the 16,000 level, up 8 points, stock prices are flat this morning.

>> killed the parade, the nice buzz will built in florida. stuart: why is it important? >> reporter: set up the fight we will have ten days before christmas. the new date is december 15th, two weeks later than yellen's additional forecast. it gives congress more time to strike a deal on how to lift or suspend the debt ceiling and whose responsibility it is, will they got on board to do this together? what are the consequences? push the government to default on the debt for the first time ever, likely push the economy into a recession and the almost guaranteed partisan fight just before christmas could cancel the santa claus rally we are used to seeing. stuart: that is the timetable is laid out. white house officials say the cbo isn't qualified the cost to big spending bill.

the cbo is not qualified. >> they position themselves for bad cbo score. they are attacking the credibility of the agency. >> there was wide agreement, moderates, liberals, etc. cbo does not have experience, who are taking advantage of any honest taxpayer. >> the cbo director said the plan to beef up the irs to go after those tax cheats would yield a quarter of what the administration was hoping for and he defended the agency. >> something we are very familiar with.

a well-established methodology. >> reporter: it is a nonpartisan agency of the scores expected friday. >> the number, the dollar number is far too high it is not going to get through the senate. it is an important point, very important. >> they don't know what they are doing. let's get back to the market. futures suggest there's not much happening. nasdaq up two. not much going on. here is shah gilani. people see something and buy it. the stock market. >> it is great for corporate profits. the month over month retail sales increase is one.7%.

year over year, it is 3% higher than it was a year ago even if you get out inflation at the highest level, 10.one% increase in retail sales, record on every level. it speaks to the fact that consumers are doing well and it speaks to future earnings being better than expected. stuart: they are at one.6%. if it is 2%, what is on the market? >> there is the rub. a front burner issue as far as the rally is concerned. if you see rapidly rising rates, handling it fairly easily. the benchmark i'm looking at,

if we pop above that, it is a bit of indigestion to deal with and if we get to 2% by the end of this year which would be a staggering move higher. they take a pause and look where we might go in the first quarter, a damper on the rally. stuart: it sounds to me that you are more cautious than you had been. >> you are 100% swans or an event that we understand is going to happen like the taper happening such as rates rising and how the markets digest that. we are going to see more

volatility. and interest rates where they end up. stuart: now this. how democrats plan to hold 1000 events to celebrate the recent legislative wins. this sounds like an attempt to recoup their election loss but i wouldn't dismiss it. build help, families, children and the elderly have a lot of appeal. >> people will be talking about the cost of thanksgiving, the issues like education, parents with school board meetings and voice their concerns. they are talking about the border, the price of commodities, bread and butter, eggs, those are the issues american people will be talking about. spending money we don't have on things we don't need it. when it comes to parenting, when it comes to household

budgets, that means the most to americans. democrats can do 10,000 events between now and the end of the year but anything will remind them of why there was a rebuff of democrats in tuesday's elections in november. this is not what we are bargaining for. hurting at home, with midterm, first term elections. stuart: politics has been banned on the thanksgiving dinner table. do you think there will be a comeback this year? >> it is a political thanksgiving because of the sheer cost and anger of americans. that will transcend into the holiday season as well. one of the biggest hammers over the american people's heads will be raising the debt ceiling. what does that mean for next year and the years coming forward. will america pay its own bills?

delivery truck. we are driving to our next drop off location. a lot of people use heating oil but not just heating oil going up but pretty much any fuel heating source in the us is seeing higher prices and that means as call the month role in, they keep going up. everyone look at a higher price tag. let's look at heating oil. 5 million americans in the us use heating oil. depends how much more there paying this year, it is estimated they will pay 39% more compared to last year, is it cold or? 50% more than last year. and that is something we are seeing across the board when it comes to heating oil, it is $3.41. this time last year $2.17 and

distributors are going to pass the costs on to their customers, to keep prices down but at the end of the day they have to make a profit. . >> people are scared, they remember a few years back paying $4 a gallon. we have to go up in price. >> so in the northeast this is a region that has the most heating oil, 18%, if you are one of those homes you will expect to pay more, not just heating oil. stuart: propane is the worst. let's bring in senator john barrasso, you held hearings about energy prices. who told you we get relief from high gas prices before the end of the year? >> john kerry, and president

biden, who think the united states can power ourselves on windmills and solar panels are just wrong and the american people are paying the price. that is the real problem we have. in wyoming and most of america people know we need it all, the oil, gas, coal, we need nuclear power. we need the wind, solar, modern life demands affordable energy and i tell you what democrats are doing, trying to pass this reckless tax and spending bill, that will drive energy costs even higher. stuart: wyoming is one of the leaders in energy production. are you benefiting from the high price of oil, coal, and gas? >> there is revenue coming into the state as a result of that but additionally we made a big announcement that in wyoming, the energy capital of our nation, we are going to build

the first next generation nuclear reactor at a retired coal-fired power plant in wyoming. this is important for the future of energy. we need to be energy realists and this administration aren't energy realists. 18 times as much energy as what we get from hydrocarbons that we do from wind or solar. when you think about the hearings we had yesterday, joe manchin and i, we want to make energy as fast as we can in ways that don't raise costs for consumers. costs are going up. who would have thought that in 10 months in the white house, president biden could take us to a 7-year high oil prices and a 30 year high in inflation. but it is the policies of this administration that are so bad in his solution, let's beg open and russia to produce more energy.

we will see russian oil tankers making delivery in boston harbor this winter and it is a result of the biden policies. it is going to be a jackpot for russia and what we've done is taking us from being an energy dominance nation under donald trump to an energy dependent nation under president biden. stuart: come back soon, we want to hear more about that new plant in wyoming. see you again soon. energy secretary jennifer graham's vocal about ending the use of gasoline. this is the video. >> he made a cameo in 2018. ♪♪ as when gasoline ♪♪ gasoline gasoline ♪♪ electric change the way we move around

>> they are in great position to deal with price increases, a lot of low-cost products and pricing power, a lot of foot traffic because of various vaccine related things. a lot of people went there. they struggled for quite some time, bad acquisition, hired the coo of starbucks to be their new ceo and their writing the ship. we like walgreens a lot. stuart: they yield 2.8%. that's not a high dividend yield for a guy like you. >> they have grown the yield for 26 years in a row, but they haven't grown the dividend a ton because they are investing billions of dollars into the semiconductor deal, manufacturing to compete with taiwan. it is a long-term play that will pay off, but we have to be

look at the airline stocks, they haven't done much. they have come back a little, expect the downside move for the dow ever so slight and upside move for the nasdaq. my suspicions will be confirmed when we start trading. here we go, 9:30 eastern time and we are up and running. .14%, the dow above the 36,000 level was s&p down a tiny fraction. let's move on this. the nasdaq is virtually unchanged. big tech up this morning, more gains for the major titans of technology.

big retailers reported before the bill. i to to start with target, down 4.7%. >> it was a fantastic report card, stronger than anticipated, sales, online sales jumping by a third and raising guidance to holiday sales, between high single digits to double-digit growth. inventories are healthy because they chartered their ownership to get around the supply chain problem and it has to do with inflation. you hear from brian cornell about higher prices when it comes to food, gas, and more and same with walmart, fantastic quarter but when your profit margins get squeezed with higher prices inflation that is the problem. stuart: in impressive report. >> purchases for the holiday season as well, across all retailers. stuart: how about lowe's?

sales but let's compared to other electric car, they are now worth $141 billion. they overtook volkswagen, gm, ford, boeing, and let's talk about actual real-life sales. lucid, doesn't have much either. and has 100,000 bands. how much is priced in? makes you wonder how much potential our people pricing in at these valuations? stuart: must of been enormous potential, enormous sales of revenue.

>> the second or third step. maybe 1 million cars a year, $1 trillion. with valuations, that is lucrative and attractive. stuart: you are close to apple. are they going to talk about an apple car? >> with a strategic point of view, how tim cook thinks, he is looking at this. >> $262 a share with morgan stanley having room to go up. >> not the car, it is close to the ground.

$50 according to morgan stanley with the target price hike. the same morgan stanley analyst is skeptical of lucid. lucid could call to $16. >> this could go to 16. >> as i said, $90 billion valuation on 17,000 reservations and orders. stuart: you can't dismiss that some of it is a meme stock. this is like the green climate change forward point theme right now. >> it is down 5%. amazon is breaking up with a visa. it was surprising because amazon has an amazon brand, from jpmorgan.

what they are upset about is a transaction fee, pretty high for amazon to pay. 20 pounds to switch to something else. stuart: visa's 5% loss take 70 points off so the dow would be dead flat. after the bell. >> sub 300. this stock has doubled so far this year. this is a show me report card, proved to me that self driving ai, gaming and data centers continue to boom so there's a pretty high bar set to power again. stuart: boeing got an upgrade. >> we took that off the screen. wells fargo graded, worth 272 according to them with the

nbc. i have to throw myself in front of that in any way, shape or form. what i am suggesting is we are in an inflation blowout quarter which may lasts longer. after the numbers yesterday, 60% retail sales, 11% year on year import prices, cpi in october is up 8% above the third quarter. you could be looking at an 8% growth rate, in q4. the gdp, 8% growth. we are overstimulated. overstimulated. we don't need another dime of spending. here is where i am going with this. janet yellen said on the sunday

show that she thought inflation would last longer but with peter down in the second half of next year. as you know, senator manchin has repeatedly said we should have a pause on new spending until inflation shows signs of calling down. i stupid the two together. it is an economic romance. miss yellen has laid out the marker. manchin laid out the action. no new spending. i say no new spending until the second half of next year at the least. that might be too soon but i say he should jump on yellen's point and push this through and stop this bill, save america, kill the bill. whatever comes out of the house must be killed in the senate and the point is we don't need an inflationary blowout.

we shouldn't nurture it or feed it with any more federal spending and let me say one more thing, the federal reserve should completely stop qb, stop. no more bond purchases, none. 0. because monetary inflation, milton friedman inflation is coming on like gangbusters. stuart: i hate to think what would happen on the market if the fed stopped bond buying. let me move on to something fascinating. raising the salt. it would be the second most expensive program in the build back better plan, raising the salt cost for the rebuilding roads and bridges or rebuilding the electric grid it is a total giveaway to the rich. i find this fascinating. what about you? >> a complicated question because i like rich people. always have.

i would like to make the non-rich rich throughout the country. having said that i agree it is silly to give them this kind of benefit when they are raising taxes on corporations and small businesses when they are raising taxes on blue collar middle income people who will pay on the corporate tax hikes and -- stuart: what does it tell you about the split in the democrat party? they are at each other's throat. >> in the house trying to buy the votes were 6 or 7 people. i wouldn't dignify it. all the numbers and estimates you will get from the cbo which is total phony baloney gimmicks, the way they are

scoring this thing it is not going to show up because they are letting the trump tax cuts expire in 2025. when they put this in it will be a complete wash. you won't see it. all the scoring, the whole thing is a scam, total gimmicks. $5 trillion bill and people know that but that is not the argument. the argument now is save america, kill the bill and not another dollar of spending stimulus because we are in an inflationary blowup period. stuart: watching you on kudlow every weekday at 4:00 pm eastern. thanks for being with us today and then we have meta-formerly known as facebook getting more meta-now you can buy gloves that let you feel things in virtual reality. you may not have heard of

quarterly earnings show major retailer seeing gains, target posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings just this morning and that followed walmart and home depot, both beat estimates, both crediting holiday spending and all three of them save a privately chartered container ships that help navigate around the supply-chain bottleneck but the experts say this level of spending can't be sustained when it is driven by the holidays. holiday shopping is front loaders but with inflation here to stay expected to run into next year, that is sure to chill spending. all you have to do is look at consumer sentiment index showing consumer confidence plunged into a 10 year low, a sign that spending is sure to slow. stuart: in a couple hours a lot of people will be doing good business. lydia at the mall in new jersey. second market, down 5 move for the dow and then some up 171 points. some of that loss is accounted for by visa which is way down and visa is a down stock.

second most costly item in president biden's build back better plan is a huge giveaway to rich democrat donors. raising the local deduction to 80,000 from 10,000 costs $85 billion. that is more expensive than any other item in the bill except for pre-k and child health. this costs more than rebuilding roads and bridges, more than fixing the electric grid, more than paid family leave and double the cost of the at home medical services for the elderly. whoa. the democrats make a big deal about helping families, children and the elderly but they're helping the rich to the tune of $285 billion. that money goes almost entirely to the wealthy. in particular the wealthy in high-taxed states. those are democrats states. those democrat states will get a subsidy from gop-run states like florida and texas.

good lord. if you spend so much coddling the rich and less on helping working families what does that tell but the democrat party? it tells you that the party is totally split and does not have a unifying message and it also tells you above all the people who provide the party with its money have to be protected. $285 billion to the top 10%. it is democrats who are doing it. amazing. second hour of "varney" just getting started. ♪♪ stuart: all right. have a look at this, this is in the "new york post," an op-ed, is joe biden the second coming of herbert hoover? that caught my attention. the author of that piece is michael goodwin and he joins me now. if biden is the herbert hoover of the 21st century, are you forecasting another great depression like the one that followed herbert hoover?

>> stuart, no, i'm not forecasting a great depression but i am searching for a model that explains joe biden and particularly on the question of inflation, his inaction in almost kind of a shrug of the shoulders, let them eat cake attitude. jen psaki actually said that the rising price of gasoline was really a benefit because it would hurry up the conversion to electric vehicles. now by that measurement we should all celebrate when gas hits $10 a gallon. this is insanity and there is a coldness attached to it because they don't want to fight inflation because it goes to the heart of their send spending plans. stuart: if you follow up on that, if you follow up on that, you do keep spending, you get a real spike in inflation you are going to have a very nasty recession because as at some

point the federal reserve says we'll not print money, we'll raise rates and that sends economy on a tailspin. you are forecasting a recession at the very least? >> i think a recession is almost inevitable with this inflation rate. whether it become as depression, we hope not but i think there are a number of failed presidents that joe biden could look to for motivation how to get out of this. jimmy cart letters, you know kind of a malaise, his attack on the american people similar to what some on the left are doing now. they're not grateful for joe biden, things like that. you had gerald ford of course with his whip inflation now, very ineffective approach. you had jimmy carter, obviously a lot of people looking at jimmy carter and saying what about him? george h.w. bush also stood, you know, stood kind of sullen in

the face of a recession. now later it turned out the statistics were behind but nonetheless i think people, when there is a economic crisis such as we're beginning to face now people look to the president, not only for the right policies but they look for a sensitive president who understands this and joe biden is not doing either. stuart: all right. michael goodwin, an interesting column, thanks for bringing it to our attention. we'll see you again real soon. thanks, michael. >> thank you. stuart: a city in northern california, repeat, california, declaring itself a sanctuary city from government overreach. standing up to mandates, vaccine mandates. lauren: orville, population, 19,000. this is not a democrat city, about split between democrat republican. they're sanctuary city of freedom, passing a resolution promising not to enforce any vaccine or mask mandate even if

holiday-related infection rates to rise across the country, across the globe, i think that so long as the fed stays in the economy's corner, so long as the jobs picture remains merry and bright, the u.s. consumer, i think will be able to muddle through. stuart: i believe treasury secretary janet yellen says we beat inflation when we beat covid. if thanksgiving and the holidays are a superspreader we ain't going to beat inflation fast, are we? >> no. we don't think we'll suddenly wake up inside of the next quarter or two or three and consider the inflationary pulse but it proofs to be difficult for many, many people in this country to suddenly see it evaporate. we -- stuart: jim, wait a minute, jim. we're in an inflationary spiral. it is here now. the fed must act at some point. they can't delay for much

longer. they're going to have to act. and when they act odds the market reacts with a drop. isn't that in your forecast? >> it is certainly one of the possibilities. increasingly inching its way towards a probability, but your premise the fed has to act while absolutely right comes down to a question of when and i don't think this is a fed that is going to try to do anything dramatic in terms of getting ahead of the near term inflationary moment because they still view it as transitory and manageable. we view it a little more episodic but still manageable. stuart: okay. we're not supposed to say this but only time will tell. i think you're wrong about thanksgiving and i think you're wrong about the fed, i'm prepared to accept you know more about it than i do. we'll have you back next week. see how we go then. >> look forward to it. stuart: jim lowell. thank you. lauren, come in here. movers, something called on

different than previous treatments for covivid. it does not require an iv or an injection. it comes with a series of pills taken at home. intended for high-risk patients in the early stages of covid infection. the company reported in clinical trials it cut hospitalizations and deaths in unvaccinated high-risk adults by 89%. pfizer has signed a voluntary licensing agreement will allah generic manufacturers to produce their own version of the drug in 95 countries. those countries accounting more than half of the world's population. the food and drug administration is evaluating a competing pill from merck. thighs at-home treatments are expected to be less expensive and easier to obtain, therefore increasing the ability of more high-risk patients to survive covid-19. meanwhile the fda says it will review pfizer's request to authorize covid vaccine boosters for adults of all ages as expeditiously as possible.

according to "the new york times," this could happen as early as thursday. also has to be signed off by the cdc. that agency's vaccine advisors are meetings on friday. so, stuart, it is entirely possible you could see the pool of eligible people for these vaccine boosters to be expanded as early as this weekend. stu, back to you. stuart: jonathan, my next question is, will we get a booster mandate. that is another story for another time. reporter: that is another story for another time. stuart: here it comes too. thanks, jonathan. i have got some headlines for you. look at these, eight dead, dozens infected with covid-19 due to outbreak at connecticut nursing home. no matter how old you are, two shots of pfizer vaccine don't last. that is according to this study. biden administration plans imminent booster expansion to all adults. you get headlines like this all the time. dr. marty makary is with me now. i see this all the time. i am in the news business so i

see these kind of headlines. looks like it is never going away. my question, doctor, do we have to learn to live with this thing? >> we do. i think what we're not hearing the risk of covid is not equally distributed in the population. it is a message that we missed early and a message we're missing late in the pandemic. let me give you some numbers, stu. if you have a full portfolio of vaccine, vaccination, that is you're fully vaccinated your risk of getting covid is one in 2,000 per week. the risk of -- is one in 20,000 per week. now that risk is heavily clustered towards older people. the average age of a breakthrough infect being hospitalized is 3. the average age of someone dying is age 80. what you will see as these boosters get pushed out around advisories recommending them, college students are going to be required to get boosters. it is going to ignore the fact that the risk is not equally distributed in the population.

it is always been hard for this virus to hurt someone young and healthy. that is still the case. stuart: what about a booster mandate? i can see it coming. i think the administration is considering it. you don't favor it? >> no. because, remember, kids who are unvaccinated have a lower risk than adults who are vaccinated. if a young healthy person has two natural doses of the vaccine in their system designed by god. so remember it may be a different tailored strategy by age and risk. when the government says mandate a booster, by the way colleges and boosters are already drafting up plans to mandate boosters right now. what you are going to see, subject young people to the risk of myocarditis and other complications when they may not benefit from the booster. why the fda advisory committee -- voted down boosters for all. now the fda will ream it through by not convening experts for the

next round of valuation. stuart: what is going on with europe? have they go a fourth or fifth with wave going through? i see austrian cases hit a record high. they're taking actions against christmas markets in germany and elsewhere? another wave hitting there, is another wave going to come here? >> i think the delta wave is the final wave in the united states. we'll have to see what the data shows on the durability of the vaccine in older people but if you look at what's happening right now we have extremely low levels, maybe the lowest levels of the entire pandemic in the southeast united states. the great lakes region is struggling right now. they have vaccination rates in the 60, 70% range. look at some of these firewalls if you will, some of these backstops of pennsylvania, connecticut, massachusetts, vermont, they have 92, 93% of population over 12 vaccinated. so i think this is the final wave.

we're seeing viral season with cold weather. stuart: we love to hear that. dr. marty makary, thanks for joining us doctor, always appreciate it. >> thanks, stu. stuart: next the mayor of d.c. muriel bowser updated the city's covid guidelines. lauren, i believe she is lifting the mask mandate. lauren: starting on monday, those in nation's capital will no longer need to wear masks indoors, private businesses for the first time since july of 2020 will decide for themselves if you're coming into my store we want you to wear a mask. it is their choice. masks still required in school and on public transportation. what is the catalyst? nothing changed significantly in terms of infections or the science but muriel bowser is running for a third term as mayor and mandates aren't popular. people are inclined to put a mask on. they don't want to be told to put a mask on. stuart: so true, exactly right. good lord. should be our choice. democrats scrambling to get biden's massive social spending bill to a vote this week. budget experts are sounding the

vietnam in particular, of course southeast asia in general you have a very, very large e-commerce market. there are 750 million people living in southeast asia and vietnam we have 100 million people. we have 120 million people and in indonesia we have 275 million people. of which 60 to 70 are online at all times. so there is a captured market there for yearning to by and access high branded, high-end international brands that we are selling. stuart: okay. you're doing well. congratulations sir. we appreciate you being on the show today. hope you can keep up that growth rate. that is spectacular. den minutes nguyen. good to see you. you get it. let's have a look at trade, the port of los angeles long beach will delay charging hefty fees to ocean carriers that leave

cargo at the terminals for too long. lauren, why are they doing that? lauren: because the fee was never meant to be punitive t was meant to be an incentive, essentially look, if the item is meant to go on a truck or on a rail we'll charge awe different price but there will be a daily fee if you don't unload these cargo containers fast enough. we'll keep increasing the price. everybody listened and they're doing it. they're getting it done. so the situation is not as bad. so they postponed this fee for the second time. they will probably do it indefinitelies because they're starting to unclog the ports. stuart: threat works. lauren: like the mandate, in some cases it works. stuart: yes it did, united airlines got 99% of their employees vaxed because they insisted on it. thanks. brazen criminals have been wreaking havoc on the streets of new york. we'll show you this one again. it is just awful. many critics blame the city's cash bail reform. anything being done to stop this rising crime?

♪. stuart: the cbo is set to score the build back better plan by friday. that means they're supposed to put a price tag on it. the white house though already discrediting the cbo. hillary vaughn on capitol hill. is the white house already bracing for a bad score, a very high number? reporter: they are, stuart. that is because the cbo has been leaking out or releasing out little by little pieces of their analysis and one of the pieces that the white house had a problem with is how the cbo scored the irs enforcement pay-for. the amount of money they think they can get from catching

people who are cheating on their taxes. the white house is banking on getting 400 billion from doing that but the cbo says they will get as much as 140 billion. so there is a big gap there. so yesterday the white house really pushed back on the ability and the credibility of the cbo. >> there has been wide agreement on the part of everyone involved, moderates, liberals, et cetera, that cbo does not have experience analyzing revenue amounts gained from cracking down on wealthy tax cheats who are taking advantage of every honest taxpayer. reporter: but the cbo came out yesterday and said they actually do have a lot of experience in that area. they have a lot of former treasury officials working underneath them who have that experience as well and the former director of the cbo said this, perhaps the most important thing to know about cbo it exists somely because congress decided that it could not rely on any administration for reliable budget information.

so i caught up today with the house ways and means chairman richard neal. he is the guy that put these pay-fors in place to come up with the cash to pay for all of this and i asked him about the white house messaging on this? is it helpful for the white house to be doubting the ability and the credit ability of the cbo when the whole point of them is to provide a non-partisan -- >> it's a framework. they provide a framework. so does the joint committee on taxation i herald all of the time. so i think there are different and competing perspectives from time to time. so i don't denigrate what a professional agency like cbo suggests as much as to say it is but that, an estimate. reporter: that is the democrats messaging stuart, today. it is an estimate. really don't take the cbo too seriously. stuart: don't take them too seriously, how convenient. thank you, hillary. florida senator rick scott,

joins us now. mr. senator, if the cbo score comes in well above the $1.75 trillion number, can it get through the senate. >> i hope not. think about it, remember how joe biden oh, this is all paid for. like some magic, somebody we all don't know will pay for this or jeff bezos or elon musk who will pay for this. no. it means, first off, this is not paid for. if it passes it is going to tax all of everybody, it will tax everybody. i mean there is not enough money with the rich. it will tax, tax middle income. on top of that, think about how disingenuous. at the same time they say oh we'll tax the rich, you know, schumer, pelosi want to give tax breaks for the rich in california and new york through the s.a.l.t. deduction. stuart: you must be mad as hell about that? we did a story this morning that this s.a.l.t., raising the cap on s.a.l.t. deductions is the tech most expensive, the second most costly item in build back

better plan. that is a complete giveaway, to the democrat rich donors. you must be mad as hell about this? >> if you're a legislator in florida, if you're a congressman, man or woman in florida, you're a democrat, you vote for this, you voted to hurt your own citizens. this doesn't make any sense. i remember when i was governor, new york's budget was almost double per person what my budget was in florida, they wanted florida taxpayers to pay a portion. this only helps the rich. by the way they want to do that. they want to cut health care for the poor in states like florida and how will they pay for it? by giving tax cuts, giving tax cuts to the rich. it makes no sense. stuart: what a mess. >> it is unfair. stuart: it is, it is basically unfair. i benefit enormously if they do it because i live in new jersey. i would like to move to florida. >> you will. it's a matter of time. do it when you're young.

stuart: thank you. i like that. florida learning to live with covid-19? the caseload is very, very low. everything is open. everything is going fine. you're learning to live with it. >> absolutely. you know what we ought to do? we shouldn't be doing mandates. we should do information. give out information. and by the way, what the biden is doing with the vaccine mandates, we're always seeing massive inflation. i think every manufacturers i talked to in the last month said their costs are up over 10%. now we're going to lose more employees. biden will tell these companies you have to fire people because you won't give a vaccine. what will that do to the supply chain? what will that do to inflation? cause a bigger supply chain problem and increase inflation. it is ike he doesn't care about poor people. that is who is getting hurt most by inflation. stuart: we like to check in with you on a regular basis, mr. senator. we're glad we did today. i will be on my way soon. >> bye-bye. stuart: thank you, sir. still ahead, martha maccallum, new york

we've heard enough from the hate america brigade. i will put my $0.02 in because i chose to be an american. it was a conscious choice. i didn't turn my back on my native england, i turned my face forward to the freedom that america offers. ignore the naysayers, they are gilding america for its past sins. and it is more than money, it is a sense of alternate he, individuality returns on so many immigrants like me. in america you can make your own choices, you can run your own life, that is called liberty. i don't think of myself as part of a group, and when i pledge allegiance to this country, there were 38 nationalities, and hardly a dry eye anywhere, we are grateful to be joining a constitutional republic.

the police are checking on the basis, are you there, still there. that is draconian. i don't see that coming to the united states. it is a warning sign. isn't it? >> so many things i never thought i would see come to the united states. i remember initially doctor fauci said he couldn't imagine a scenario you had vaccine mandates or wearing masks. we've seen so much change and it makes me very uncomfortable when i see these things in austria of people having to show their passes. it is very reminiscent, two totally different situations. it brings that to mind, the freedom you spoke about in this segment is something we need to be careful about maintaining. people need to make choices,

vaccination has been an amazing game changer for the country. every time i go somewhere. it it i'm grateful for this vaccine and the impact it has had on our lives and freedom it has given us to go back about our lives. and whether it is related to exemption. and there has to be an alternative to wear the mask. proving and antibodies and other things, you have to give people choices. stuart: are you with me on this? vaccinate yes. get the booster yes. but no mandate to do it, no force. >> think about things we've been encouraged to do in this country that have been good for us, putting on a seatbelt. and without forcing people.

supply and demand completely disconnected from fundamentals. if you look at ribian, they are beyond meet. a big cult following went up to $50, now it is $80. when investing in stocks with cultlike followings they can be pretty dangerous. stuart: you don't think the ribian rally will last? >> i would not be buying here. when you look at ribian, the market was very patient with tesla as tesla turning quarter after quarter of losing money, the market was very patient. i don't think the market will be as patient with ribian. stuart: you have been following the fight between bernie sanders and elon musk. you've been following closely. i am very much on musk's side.

>> absolutely. i love elon musk. it is extremely entertaining to watch this play out. living i love about elon, he is willing to take one on the chin to prove a point and he loves ruffling feathers which i find fantastic. bernie is all about the wealthy must pay their fair share which tax revenues are the highest in history despite there being no increase in the tax rate. elon's firing back with i keep forgetting you're still alive but my favorite one was bernie is a taker, not a maker. that sums up socialism in one tweet. elon is doing all this just to show progressives how stupid their policies can be, and how they impact everybody. stuart: they always talk about you got to pay your fair share, but they never say what that share is. hundreds of thousands of people

pay more, and pay 50% of their income in tax. is that a fair share or do they want more than that? >> they want more than that. when did paying your fair share mean paying a higher percentage than everyone else? it doesn't make sense. i was talking with someone about our corporate tax rate and explained to them we have a corporate tax rate but you want to get the money out there is another tax you got to pay. there's multiple tax built-in and they want to focus on tiny pieces and criticizes little pieces. stuart: i am with you on this one. that is a good thing. come and see us again soon. let's look at the movers, target is still down almost 5%. >>

devastated my district. we saw so much flooding due to inadequate sewer systems which we will expand the capacity. it is a good bill that focused wrigley on infrastructure, half going to roads, bridges and highways in the rest going to project i mentioned. stuart: what about the build back better plan, the gigantic social spending plan. would you vote for that? >> this is where we differentiate. the infrastructure was good and socialism is bad and we don't want to see the social spending bill passed. we have taken the leverage from aoc and the squad. if it passes the house it will not become the bill that comes to the senate. you will see as you have seen already the price tag coming down, and how they go further down. the cbo is important that moderates wait for the score.

case of self-defense and yet you have people on the left talking about a riot, talking about this young man being a white supremacist which there is no fact, outstanding defamation lawsuit. makes no sense was this case should be judged by the facts in the courtroom and from a legal opinion of 30 years this young man is innocent. stuart: remember this. the media sneered nicholas sand is a man showing with a native american elder at an antiabortion rally in 2019. sand a man has about that and writes the corrupt liberal media came for me just like they came for kyle rittenhouse and if he decides to sue i say go for it and hold the media accountable. the media did smear rittenhouse. does he have a case? can he sue? >> yes. i don't want to see any left-wing media like cnn, msnbc and new york times, they destroy the character of that young man from covington high

school and i tell you without any facts, destroy the life of kyle rittenhouse. president biden called him a white supremacist. within 48 hours of the shooting incident in kenosha. they filed charges. he is facing the worst prosecutor ever. a man who has disregarded the truth and justice, the obligation of a prosecutor is to find the truth. basically this prosecutor wants to convict kyle rittenhouse regardless of the facts. stuart: you said a moment ago you have been involved in this kind of thing for a long time, you followed the trial. what is the jury verdict? i shouldn't ask that but give me an idea where they are coming from? >> honestly, most jurors do the right thing. they follow the law, look at the facts in the courtroom but we can't deny there is a crowd

outside the courtroom. they are trying to intimidate the jury. the jury should have been sequestered. if the jury follows the law kyle rittenhouse is a 3-man. if they are impacted by the outside, all bets are off. stuart: okay. a verdict may come today or probably tomorrow. when you think it is coming? >> can i come back to your show? >> of course you can. it is on, you are on. thanks very much. we will see you again soon and that is a factor. ping-pong balls could determine the fate of president biden's vaccine mandates. we will explain that. wealthy people buying land as a hedge against inflation. we are taking you to big sky, montana where the land of the real estate market are truly booming. ♪♪ i love my country ♪♪ i love my country ♪♪ from kentucky ♪♪ we need the money

drone video that shows migrants trying to escape border patrol in the middle of the night. what is this? special night vision drones? >> that is exactly what it is, when they got out here this morning take a look at this video, as usual the second we get out here at sunrise there are migrants who cross illegally down the road and give themselves up the border patrol. these are mostly family units, teenagers, young kids who travel alone and are turning themselves in because they believe under the biden administration policies they will be released into the country and many of them are. back to what you are talking about, we met up with the woman named christie hutchinson, the founder of women fighting for america. a group that goes around different parts of the country

where the border crisis is and they help out law enforcement with this a very sophisticated drone, tens of thousands of dollars, every gadget you can think of. and local you, looking for runners. it has thermal imaging, infrared, through the brush here, into texas. what they do is look at border patrol, they relayed the gps coordinates, and agents on foot will close in and apprehend every single one of them. she told us she's a mom, has two sons and all the drugs pouring into the country she felt the need to step up to the plate and help our overwhelmed border patrol. >> drug trafficking has gone up 457%, flooding into the street as the mother of two young adult boys a that hit hard at home. this is coming to the street.

the drugs don't stay at the border. within 42 to 72 hours they are in cities across the united states. >> an accurate point, at the border policy here, a lot of people's lives will be touched by drugs and fentanyl. a lot of people know somebody who has owed the on fentanyl. cdc announced for the first time more than 100,000 americans died of drug overdoses in one single year. part of that is tied to the increase in fentanyl and fentanyl has been spilling across the southern border. stuart: see you again soon. alejandro mayorkas is asked what grade he would give himself or his handling of the border. role tape. >> how would you grade yourself?

>> senator, i'm a tough grader on myself and give myself in a for effort. in support of our workforce. stuart: a for effort. congressman andy biggs from arizona joined me now. he gives himself in a but 70,000 migrants were able to seek asylum in october, 12,000 kids, children, across the border in october. what are they doing about this? >> they are not doing anything other than encouraging this. a for effort is outrageous was this guy should be impeached. he is basically encouraging folks to come from all over central south america and 100 different countries into our country. anyplace else when you have to hundred 50 to 3000 people illegally entering your country every month you would be calling is an invasion. instead he says we've given it

good effort. this is a catastrophe. it is a disaster and he needs to own up to it but his policies have induced this disaster. stuart: what is the impact on arizona? you've got to pay for some of this. you've got to pay. what is the impact? >> we educate, incarcerate, medicate, provide all these services to these folks. we have border communities that are overrun. you a getting 850 in that small community. stuart: 850 a day? just in yuma? >> just in the year a. the tucson sector, the largest getaway factor because people don't just surrender into the

tucson sector, the drug and bad guys come in, human trafficking, assets in china. i've been down there when they got somebody from syria. they use that sector to get the bad guys in. stuart: isn't there going to be some political response to this? a democrat senator is up for reelection from arizona, up for reelection in november of this year. is this going to weigh on his campaign big time? >> it certainly should. he has been silent on this. has not done anything on the border, or anything to help but yet we are being inundated. drugs are coming across, he's not doing a darn thing about it, even speaking about it. stuart: we rant and rave about illegals coming across, we should give equal footage to

the fentanyl coming across. that is a deadly virus, deadly for americans, the death rate among young white americans in this country is astronomical. i really want to see that bumped up in terms of importance. >> we interdicted more fentanyl than ever before and still 8% to 15% so the percentage is the same but the poundage increased, which tells you how much is getting into the country. stuart: we always use you as a report from the border and appreciate it because we need more reporting from the border. input to this program, thank you very much. 11:55, wednesday trivia question. this is fascinating. what would you think about this? what is the coldest temperature ever recorded on earth? the answer in just a few moments.
