get to the markets please. the dow was up 400 points a half hour ago, now it's up 150. there's speculation that the fed might pivot on interest rates. we'll talk about that a little later, but right now the dow's up 145. but we've got the nasdaq down. i'm pretty sure that the big tech stocks are also kind of a mixed picture. i do have apple and amazon slightly higher. microsoft, alphabet, meta all to to the could be side. the yield -- downside. the yield on the 10-year treasury all the way up to 4.24 president -- 4.24%. that's a problem for the nasdaq stock market. now this. in the space of seven week, britain lost its longest reigning monoing ark and shortest serving prime minister. but those brief seven weeks have plunged the brits in extraordinary turmoil. as things stand now, britain is out of europe, largely s trained

from america. its currency, the pound, has crashed. it just reported an inflation rate of 10.1%, and it's politically leaderless. and i say, long live the king. first, he was to select a new prime minister, and that's not going to be easy. there is talk about a comeback for boris johnson. how about that for turmoil in then the government has to come up with a few economic policy. you may not realize it over here, but for the last decade british conservatives have been fooling around like american democrats. her tax and pend guys with a heavy dose of green energy. absolutely has not worked when liz truss went for growth with tax cuts, the markets panicked. chaos. let's go straight to steve hilton who has long experienced working with prime minister david cameron. steve, first deal with this: the media says that we could get into serious trouble if we in america cut taxes. what say you to that?

>> well, i think the lesson from what we've seen in the u.k. for the last few weeks is that it's not enough to have the right ideas or policies, you have to have proper preparation, professional implementation and persuasive communication. you doesn't have any of that -- you didn't have any of that, and that's why the right policies in this case which i firmly believe the only real option for long-term success with the british economy outside the e.u. is to be a low-tax, low-regulation beacon of freedom that has this pro-growth agenda. that is the right idea. it's the right idea for the u.k., it's the right idea for us here in america. but you have to lay the groundwork. you cannot just pluck it out of a hat one friday morning as they did and hope that everything will be fine. we're in a new era now because the hangover from the debt that's accumlated over the years of low interest rates and especially during the pandemic. we mustn't forget that.

hose pandemic shutdowns that were so unjustified because of the science and all the things that we mow about the virus, we're going to be living with the consequences of that for years now. but low taxes, pro-growth, that is the only way in the long term to get out of that mess. stuart: what about boris johnson? there's the all this talk that he could come back. what do you make of that? what do you think would happen if boris johnson really did come back? >> well, look, he definitely wants to. that's clear from all the briefings in the newspapers. he's been on vacation in the caribbean, he's flying back into this chaotic political environment. i think right now you would make him the very slight favorite. the reason for that is that if he gets, if he clears the threshold of nominations from the members of parliament, which is 100, and if other people don't run, if it's just two or three candidates, he's likely to get that, he's the favorite of the grassroots. it goes to a vote of the membership. you've got to make him the favorite to win that vote. and so looking at it right now,

i would say he's just slightly the favorite to be the next prime minister. it's unbelievable, but there you are. stuart: isn't he a green energy guy? isn't he big on -- didn't he want to tax the oil companies or something? if i mean, what kind of conservative is that? in -- >> well, exactly. that's been one of the main reasons the problems the u.k.'s been in, and there's going to be more of it this winter when there's the energy crisis that means people won't be able to afford their homes because they're so dependent on imported russian energy because they failed to exploit the opportunities in the u.k. belatedly, they've embraced more nuclear power as i've been arguing we should do here in america. but they've got this crazy net zero energy target which is really having a negative impact right across the economy. he's saying, boris johnson is saying true his briefings he's going to listen and learn and correct some of the mistakes of the past in relation to his behavior. let's hope that if he does get

back in, he'll correct some of the policy mistakes as well. stuart: it hooks such a grim picture emerging from britain at moment. out of europe, dismissed by america, pound crashing, politically leaderless, and what else? we're facing an awful winter of discontent. i mean, it couldn't get much worse than this, could it? or could it? >> well, that's right. [laughter] you could see it getting a little bit worse if they do go through with what some members of parliament are threatening to do if boris johnson becomes the new leader, leave the party, set up a different faction. the conservative party splits, it could get more chaotic. i don't think it will, but i wouldn't put it past them based on the behavior of the last few weeks. stuart: what a situation. all right, steve, thanks for joining into this because we need the voice of reason from california. we need it. steve, we'll be watching your show, "the next revolution," sunday night, 9 p.m. only on fox. back to the markets. i sill see some green, but not

as between as it was a half hour ago. volatility today. kenny polcari with us this morning. let's see if i've got this right. the market rallied this morning. i am told on hopes that the fed would slow down its interest rate hikes. you hearing that? and what do you make of it? >> yes, i think that's exactly what we're hearing. there's cracks kind of in the foundation, right? braynard and evan suddenly becoming a little more course -- cautious, and that gave that surge to the markets. i think that it's ridiculous because they've all, all of them, have been making the argument that they need to keep going and that inflation is the, is the monster that they need to slay. and so i'm not sure that i really believe it. i think we'll know that the in the november and the december data points, right? cpi, ppi, pce. we're going to get four of those readings in between the november and december meeting, so we'll have a better idea whether or not flakes is responding.

if it is not. she may say she's getting cautious and he may say it, but i think it's full steam ahead. stuart: the 10-year treasury yielded around 4.3% earlier morning, first time we've seen that in 15 years. how much higher do you think it could go? >> listen, i think it's going to keep going higher because when they raise rates in move, it's going to push these, you know, treasury yields higher again. so i don't see it slowing down at all. i suspect that we're going to see 10-year treasury rates in the 4.75 area probably by if not the end of this year, by probably early next year, january/february, if they keep raising rates at the pace that they say they're going to. look, now even december is in question if they're going 50 or 75. they're certainly not going 25. but the question about, you know, it was 50, 50, 50, now there's even a question, well, maybe we need to ramp that up and go 75. and if they do, you're going to

see yields and rates continue to go up. stuart: there's some negatives out there this morning, isn't there? what about earnings? i've seen some commentary that earnings are losing the momentum. >> and i think they are, right? we're starting to see that. question w with -- we got off to a good week, but suddenly we're starting to see companies report or very cautious going forward into the fourth quarter and into 2023. so i think that that's going to be as the economy slows, that's going to be something that the markets are going to have to price many, right? i don't think they're fully pricing that many yet, and that's an evolving process as we move through the end of the year and see what the economy is, in fact, doing. is it responding, is it not responding. is it weakening, is unemployment starting to go up. investors are going to have to pay attention. but it's not to the point where you have to light your hair on fire and say i'm out because it's a disaster. i think you have to have a strong, defensive portfolio to weather this storm. stuart: just last one.

snap. last time i checked that, stock was down 25, 30%. does that company survive? >> you know what? i'm not a snap user. i hardly even know what snap does. i pay no attention to it. as far as i'm concerned, it should go by the wayside, so i'm not the right person to ask. [laughter] listen, i'm like you, ooh i'm 60 years old. i'm not snapping stuff and, you know, sending it all over the place. stuart: kenny, you're a mere child compared to me -- [laughter] and we've gone through this before, and you know it. always talk to you on friday and wish you the best of luck this weekend. >> bye-bye. stuart: ashley has the headlines for us, instacart. what's going on there? ashley: well, according to reports, they're going to postpone their plans to go public until 2023. the grocery delivery company originally planned an ipo for this year, but they think the market is too volatile. ya think? they're holding off. a new partnership between amazon

and hawaiian airlines. amazon is going to play hawaiian air to fly cargo planes. hawaiian will hire more pilots, dispatchers for the project. urn the new deal, amazon also issued warrants to buy up to 15% of hawaiian air. hawaiian up 13.5% on that muse. and gen z just entered the work force, but they're already planning their retirement. a new study by blackrock shows on average gen zers are saving 14% of their income for retirement. good for them hawaii's more than all the older -- that's more than all the older generations. stuart: get into that 401(k), get an ira. thanks, ash. tom brady is apologizing after he compared playing mt. nfl to going on a military deployment. next. early voting is open in georgia, and it's already breaking

stuart: oh, that's another taylor swift song from her new album, with "mid might." by the way -- midnight. it was released at the stroke of midnight eastern time. it caused temporary outages on spotify, the music app. everything, we are sure, is now back to normal. and now this: actor john schneider out with a new patriotic movie called "to die for." watch that clip, roll it. >> we want you to take it down. >> from where? >> your truck. >> my truck, my flag. >> we find offensive. >> seems to me some things are worth losing your job over. >> take your flag down, old man. >> it's always fourth of july at my house. stuart: john schneider or is with me now. john, welcome to the program. very good to see you with. why would hollywood not support your movie who? well -- [laughter] because they don't believe in the content. i mean, i need to clarify something. it appears as if someone said

that i approached hollywood to get them to support this. i'm not that naive. i know that hollywood would not support this. hollywood does not really support anything independent. because, like it or not, what hollywood i think in private understands but their public persona is no narcissistic that they, they don't want anyone to know that really all they are is a line item in some group of billionaires' investment portfolio. you know, they really have no global importance. but they propossess to. stuart: yeah, yeah -- profess. >> so i'm sorry, virginia, there is no santa claus. [laughter] stuart: and what do you think is hollywood's idea of patriotism? i know what yours is. i mean, it's the flag, it's america, it's values, it's the constitution. what's hollywood's idea of patriotism? >> well, hollywood's idea of patriotism is being able to identify and to sell to a very persuadable and active and

wealthy or having a lot of disposable income group of people. and that's -- hollywood is about sales. you can't blame them for that, but they're about, they're about the bottom line because they answer to another group, okay? it's really just basically business. as soon as you start to hit hollywood in the pocketbook, they don't really care about these issues they profess to care about. and all the, you know, celebrities, god bless their cute little souls, they owe their soul to the company store. stuart: got it, okay. >> so they're afraid to have independent thought. they're afraid to say something that's outside of the consumer. it really is the consumer, outside of the consumer norm. these little fringe groups are very easy to sell t-shirts to. that's the bottom line. stuart: okay. how can i watch this? >> in my opinion, of course. my opinion. stuart: fair must have. how can i watch it?

>> well, it's very simple. folks, go to to die for movie.com if you'd like to stream it right away, or go to to die for dvd.com, and you can preorder the dvd. the dvd does not come out until orange pretty, which in honor of the general lee from the dukes of hazard, we call the friday after thanksgiving orange friday. so, you know, autonomy is the key. stuart: exactly. >> and you must be willing to risk everything to have it. stuart: what i'm looking at here is a means of distribution which means you cannot be canceled. you can't be canceled. you're autonomous. >> nope. we have our own distribution platform because i don't enjoy the hypocrisy of talking the against the machine publicly and then secretly trying to make a side deal with netflix. i don't believe that. i believe that netflix is a

if on occasion. they don't look at what they put out will. they only look at the bottom line. and, again, you know, this is a business show -- stuart: got it. >> i understand looking at the bottom line, but you've got to draw a line somewhere. i draw it at disrespecting our flag and all of those who have been willing to and have given their lives to provide us with freedoms that i know i certainly haven't paid a dime for. i am forever in their debt. stuart: and which i deliberately signed up for, and i'm happy i did. john schneider -- >> and i'm glad -- thank you for your -- stuart: thanks for being on the program, john. good luck with "to die for." see you soon. >> thank you. is have a great day. stuart: there is a new netflix series out. it's about jeffrey dammer. it is -- jeff my dahmer. ashley, straighten me out, dahmer's real-life father, is he considering suing netflix? over what?

ashley: he is. he is reportedly seeking legal advice on whether to sue netflix. 86-year-old dye knell dahmer claims he was never contacted by the series, and netflix did not seek permission to use tapes made by dahmer's legal team. but since the release of the show and the are renewed interest in his son, lionel dahmer has refused to speak and is said to be left a nest wreck. but -- nervous wreck. by the way, as you mentioned monster, that's the netflix story starring evan peters, debuted on nielsen's streaming rankings right at number one. it's the tenth most downloaded ever recorded by nielsen. i guess that is a classic example of morbid fascination, but there you go. it's popular on netflix. stuart: bring me up to speed on tom brady. i believe he earlier compared playing football with military deployment. just watch this again, ash. roll that tape.

>> get, like, a football season like you're going away on deployment with the military. >> yeah, yeah. >> and it's like, man, here i go again. stuart: now he's apologizing, ash. what did he say -- ashley: yeah. stuart: look, i saw this, but why does he need to apologize for saying that? i don't get it. >> he says -- yeah, i know he didn't want to compare it to being overseas on deployment, he's playing football. tom brady issued this apology, take a listen. >> it was a very poor choice of words. i just want to express that to any sentiments out there that people may have taken it. i apologize. ashley: well, brady, you know, did receive plenty of criticism on social media over those remarks, and it has been a pretty rough patch for the star quarterback. he and his wife, giselle bundchen, have been the summit of persistent divorce rumors and a lot of backlash against

brady's decision to attend robert kraft's wedding in new york city because, you know, he missed a bucs' walk-through before a game against pittsburgh that the bucs went on to lose even though they were double-digit favorites. can't seem to do anything right. stuart: well put. ash, back to you later. check hose markets, i see green for the dow jones industrials, up 200 points. s&p is up 17. some green but not a whole lot. now this: liz truss triggered a financial crisis during her 44 days as prime minister of britain. who can fix the mess that she left behine, and how long will it take? we'll get into that. democrats now distancing themselves from defund the police. roll tape. >> i support law enforcement and did so for 11 years. >> i've always supported our state police. stuart: really? well, just 18 days til the midterms, and strategies are shifting. kim strassel will sort it all out for us. ♪ if you want to be somebody

on the s&p 500, and oil stocks really, they've been the outperformer this year with, getting a lift today again from higher oil prices. stuart: and we've had all these folks on the show saying oil companies, oil companies, go get 'em. exxon, few high, thought that? susan: intraday. apple's head of hardware design is leaving the company, remember three years ago johnny ive left the world's biggest company, same thing with amazon, reporting next week, and amazon making news because they might buy 15% in hawaiian air. they also announced a deal with hawaiian to fly their air bus a-330 cargo jets starting next year. stuart: is snap still in business? susan: for now, because the stock is down -- well, okay, it's down more than 30% -- stuart: it's only down 29.8%. survival. [laughter] susan: you know, i think you're right. there are some questions about that. zero revenue growth this quarter

after a record slowdown and slowest sales growth in the summer. still looking at 358 million daily active users. meta reports next week, but if you bought $17 in that snap ipo in 2017, you might not be so happy. stuart: you've lost your shirt. stick around, we've got friday feedback. susan: i'm excited. stuart: 18 days til the midterms. some democrats reversing their stand on defund the police. watch this. >> i have sat with our law enforcement, i've worked arm in arm with them. and that's why the budgets that i have written have been focused on supporting. >> i support law enforcement and did so for 11 years. >> i've always supported our state police. stuart: okay. kim strassel, "wall street journal" lady, joins me now. she's smiling because you don't believe that this policy reversal at the last minute ooh's going to work, do you? [laughter] >> you know, for every one of those clips that you are putting up there, stuart, there are 15, 20 more showing them saying the exact opposite.

and, by the way, this is why it's been so effective for republican candidates out in so many races, wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia, even the l.a. mayor's race, because all they have to do is cut an ad that features their opponent saying these things. they don't have to make the case themselves. their opponents have already made it for them. stuart: yeah. it's not going to work, is it? at the last minute, you can't just reverse yourself on a policy and expect the voters to believe you. i don't think that's going to happen. >> well, no. and here's the other problem too, if you're a politician, there's a couple of issues you don't want to own. inflation is one but also crime. and it's because those things really hurt americans on an everyday basis. but also because once that genie is out of the bottle, it is very hard to put back in. and some of us warned democrats two years ago as those floyd riots were raging across the country, and they were, you know, promoting defund the police, uh, this is going to haunt you. and here we are, the haunting has begun. stuart: another point here, early voting in georgia is

already breaking records, i'm told. breaking records for turnout. what does that tell you? >> well, there's another another one where you can roll the tape. you may remember the president in atlanta in january talking about georgia's voting reform as jim crow 2.0. comparing republicans to bull connor. and here we have these astonishing turnout numbers, and what it shows you is that it was all a bunch of hype. the access to the ballot in georgia is as free as it ever was, better in many cases. people are pouring out. there's interest in the midterms. we should be excited and happy about this, but it's another example of democrats attempting to paint their opponents as extremists and the truth coming out. stuart: look at the florida race for a second, if you would. that florida race is close. how come marco rubio is only ahead of val demings by i think it's 4 or 5 points, that's all? i would are have thought he would be much further ahead than that. governor desantis is.

>> yeah. so i think there's a couple things. first of all, i'm always real careful with polls like this. florida is one of the states that the pollsters have gotten wrong in recent election are years, so we'll see how this turns out. i think, you know, marco rubio has not had the same profile, obviously, that governor desantis has had. and there's still some, i think, mixed emotions among conservatives about him. he doesn't necessarily rally the base in the same way. i think he's going to win comfortably. and this is another example where crime and, is very much featuring in their recent debate and also questions of his opponent, val demings, and just how far to the left -- she's running as a moderate, and that is also one of the reasons he may be having a little bit more trouble. she does have a little bit more than some of her colleagues in the house, more of a centrist background that -- than some of the other progressives. stuart: i've been saying that the biden campaign is actually

in chaos. his handlers are trying to enforce some kind of basement strategy. that's not working. the reporters are still getting at him. and when he gets to the reporters, he loses his temper. i think this president is trapped. i think he wants to get out there and make his claims, but when he does get out there, he screws it up. what a mess this is. >> yeah. there are persistent reports, will have been since he took office, of how his handlers are constantly trying to rein him in because every time he goes out and speaks, it is a mess and then, you know, you have to call in cleanup on i'll 8 and 6 and 2 -- on aisle 8 and 6 and 2. at the same time the, he wants to be out there and suggest that to the extent that democrats might have some victories in places that he was responsible for it. this is how all presidents operate. i agree with you, it is chaos, stuart, and it's going to be really interesting had been when this election is in. the calls are going to amp up again for biden to make a

decision about whether or not he's going to run again, and i think it's going to be hard for him to put that off much longer. stuart: guaranteed, there will be calls to not step aside, but don't run again in 2024. kim, thank you very much, indeed. good to see you again. see you again soon. >> good to be here. going to spotify now to sign up. stuart: oh, do that, please. it's free from us. kim strassel, see you again soon. thanks very much. listen to this, already rumors swirling about a boris johnson comeback just a day after liz truss resigned. does he have a fighting chance of being prime minister again? nile gardiner on that next. ♪ know what? ♪ i'm coming back for you, baby. ♪ i'm coming back for you ♪

stuart: liz truss, prime minister of britain, resigned after just 44 days on the job. britain is in extraordinary turmoil. ashley, i think most of our viewers want to know what that means for the united states. ashley: well, it's an example of how unfunded government spending can roil the financial markets and bring down a political leader. the u.s., as we know, facing the same difficult economic issues that europe is; decades-high inflation, central banks forced to raise interest rates to curb growth, businesses being forced to layoff workers and corporate earnings starting to erode. but europe is also nation an energy crisis after russia invaded ukraine, and we've already seen all the angry protests on the streets of paris, same story in italy. and in the u.k. the conservative government has been imploding as it trying to -- tries to stabilize the economy.

the same kind of upheaval has not been felt here. for one, the u.s. has the world's safe haven reserve currency, but analysts say that doesn't mean we're immune to to problems. listen to this. >> i think one of the problems is that with posh if about the the privilege comes exorbitant hubris. and so, you know, there is a point at which we won't be able to go to markets and borrow anymore, and we don't know where that point is. so i think we have to be careful as we look at a market with as deepen a financial system as the u.k. that has run into these issues. stuart: ashley: and as europe's economy teeters on the brink of recession, financial analysts say the u.s. won't be spared. it will affect the earnings of american corporations. bilateral trade and, of course, the u.s. dollar that has already surged, falling european demand combined with a strong u.s. dollar is certainly a one-two punch of to the bottom line of many u.s. firms. so there you are. we will all feel the pain to varying degrees, stu. stuart: by the way, did you say

they were rioting this many paris? how about that -- in paris? saab ash we call that every saturday. stuart: about noon, yes. thanks, ash. nile gardiner is with me, sober me up a little bit here. he's a foreman aide to margaret9 thatcher. britain is a mess. what's it going to take to bring some cree of stability -- degree of stability here? >> well, stuart, many thanks for having me on the show today. as you point out, of course, chaotic situation in the u.k. but i do think that a certain degree of stability is on the horizon. not least because it's likely we're going to have boris johnson returning as prime minister according to most polls at the minute -- stuart: really? whoa, whoa, is that what you're doing? >> yeah, absolutely. stuart: most people are saying, the pundits are saying he's the

most likely guy to come back and be the prime minister again? if he did that, wouldn't that just increase the turmoil in britain? >> i don't think so, actually, because boris really is a, you know, he's a big figure. he's also winner of the conservative party. he's very popular with the conservative party grassroots. he has the kind of stature and gravitas, i think, to lead great britain out of this i tumultuous time. and if boris actually makes it through to the final round of voting next week which is among party members, he's likely the win big against the foreman chancellor. former chancellor. and so i do think britain needs a heavyweight leader back in charge right now. boris certainly fits the bill on that front. of course, it'll be a controversial, you know, development. but i do think these are extraordinary the times, and we need to have big, bold leaders on the world stage. stuart: you were an aide to

margaret thatcher. liz truss z was very much in line with margaret thatcher's ideas on the economy, but she's out. margaret thatcher is long gone. is thatcherrism dead? >> i don't think it's dead, stuart. i think that liz truss, she had the right ideas and principles in the mini budget, but then she u-turned, of course, sacked her finance pinster -- minister. she lost her nerve. of she surrendered, of course, to the siren calls of opposition including imf, calls from the biden administration and, of course, rebellion from the torrey left. so she didn't have the kind of backbone, i think, to lead the conservative party as a thatcherite. stuart: how long before the british government and the conservatives get a new leader? >> so the next prime minister will be announced, actually, on friday. stuart: okay. >> that's when we have the

results of the leadership contest. my sense is that it's going to be between boris and ritchie sonak. stuart: my american friends are saying to me, what's king charles got to do with this? would you answer that question? [laughter] >> well, of course, he plays no political role, a neutral figure here. he will, of course, be welcoming the new prime minister. but i do hope that king charles iii keeps out of politics, because he intervened a lot when he was prince charles on environmental matters. so king charles really has to step back from politics as the monarch just as the queenty, of course, for 70 years. stuart: yeah. nile, thanks for joining us this morning. interesting time. see you again soon. >> my pleasure. thanks, stuart. stuart: all right. here's where we show you the dow 30 to give you a sense of the market. i like this. dow's up 365, 1.2%, and 28 of

cruising, is what we used to call it. i think@the jail du jour, it's a buzzword. stuart: do you see more of it, susan? susan: there's a term i think they started it in asia, lying flat. for -- there they work seven days a week for 12 hours each day. stuart: okay. they're not slacking, are they? [laughter] this is from gary. can you explain the relationship between tech stock prices and bond rates? i don't see how one should affect the other. that's yours. susan: okay. i'll explain it again, because tech stocks are growth stocks. so when interest rates go up, that growth gets discounted, and that's why tech stocks tend to fall. stuart: that was pretty good. that was about 15 seconds. erudite, i would say. thank you, susan. [laughter] this is from jean. i find it hard to believe that ken golden just walks around with memorabilia worth millions. any security measures? items deliver by armored car?

you do get to a certain age -- ashley: it is true. stuart: -- 10 seconds ago, it's all a blur now. does that happen to you, ash? ashley: it does. by the way, the best part of the whole deal was you at the beginning getting lost back stage. [laughter] it was a spinal tap moment. i loved it. it was terrific. but, yes, i walk into the kitchen and go, okay, i walk straight back out again, i can't remember what i was looking for. stuart: susan, of course, has never had a senior moment. [laughter] susan: no. but i compliment you each day. i don't know how you do this for 3 hours, 5 days a week. and, oh, by the way, when you were lost on set, you were walking through studio to studio walking through studio to studio for a ♪
