♪ stuart: all right. what percentage of households in america own a dog? my guess, i'm going to go for it, 35%. lauren: i think it's 35 president. i'm going to meet you on that. stuart: all right. the answer is, reveal, please. it's 45%. i bet that proportion went up during the pandemic. lauren: i think you're right. stuart: everybody and his brother seems to have a dog these cays. lauren: or two. stuart: that's right. time's ooh up for me. neil, it's yours. neil: stuart, i don't know what you did, but we've got the markets racing ahead, the dow up more than 600 points, but the nasdaq comeback is remarkable

because after we got that after the bell news from, certainly, amazon and to a lesser extent apple, people were wary we were going to be to have torpedoing south. now on optimism things look bad but maybe not as bad as a lot of people were looking at yesterday. then we got encouraging news that nicely balances out a slowing economy with the idea that a inflationary trends while still very, very high and not budging much, they are coming off their highs. in orders, the pace and rate of inflation, and to go with that spending patterns and the like, are ebbing a little bit. so that's removed fears here that even though interest rates are expected to be hiked next week, they might not be hiked as much in december. we'll get into the weeds in just a bit here. suffice it to say that for technology as well, it has been a big comeback day with interest rates relatively stable. but the environment may be overplayed. also you're seeing even though verizon and, you know,, the

mobile and all those aren't tech stocks per se, they are said to be a mere are on that world, and they are up sharply. -- mirror on that world. that is kind of providing this idea that, you know, maybe we were overdoing it here. bottom line, we are looking at a good weekly gain for the major or averages when all is said and done. it might be a little dicey to pull off, certainly, on the nasdaq at this point. but in case you are looking at this month, which isn't over yet, of course, the last full trading day is on monday, the fact of the matter is we are up about 13% for the dow, the s&p about 8%, and for the nasdaq even with some of the buffetting of late, still up about 3.75%. so, again, you know, today and monday to get through it, but not bad when you consider all of that. let's get the read from mark tepper on all of this on what -- and i would count this, mark, as certainly a weird day, especially the way it was the yesterday after amazon and apple

came out. your thoughts. >> yeah. i mean, 100% a remarkable rallied today. for apple to be up 7% today given their earnings comment commentary, to me, it's like something doesn't quite pass the sniff test. i'm not sure why investors would be rushing to buy apple right now after they, essentially, had had an in-line quarter where they actually issued some growth warnings. maybest some short covering which could be muddying up the waters a little bit and making it kind of tricky for investors to see what's really happening under the surface. but, neil, whenever growth begins to decelerate, and i think that's a word you're going to be hearing more often, multiples have to come down. and i think right now the bulls are probably pointing to, you know, strong personal consumption. but the issue is when you look at the gdp report, that personal consumption happened in services, not in goods. goods have actually declined now for three straight quarters. and when you look at all of these big tech companies that are out there, it's not just the

big tech companies that have kind of swung and missed recently, but you have to think that there's a lot of delive ty the companies -- derivative companies that do business with the amazons, the microsofts, the googles of the world, and those are going to be negatively impacted as well. neil: so let's talk about this environment here and inflation, that's the bugaboo for everyone. whether you're talking the personal consumption index, the core inflation, but beginning to slow from prior months or just the teeniest of movements here. >> yeah. neil: did people overreact to that? oh, we're through the worst of it, or is that justified? >> yeah. so, look, i definitely think we've seen peak inflation. i don't think inflation's going to exceed the prior peak by any means. it is going to continue to slow. the question investors really have to kind of work through is how much of inflation is sticky, you know? wages, rents, food, things like that, and how long is that sticky inflation going to persist for.

is it going -- and where are we going to be a year from todaysome is the inflation rate, are we going to get cpi down to 5%? if so, that's, that's -- at least we're moving in the right direction. but if you think about it, you know, there's kind of this tug-of-war going on in the market right now where you have one group of investors saying the fed's going to pivot and at group concern another group saying, no way, they're going to continue to hike aggress aggressively. and the fed has never stopped hiking with the fed funds rate below the cpi rate. so trying to figure out where that cpi rate's going to be in a year should give us a signal as to how high the fed has to take the rate. neil: mark, real quickly, i can only go on sort of every six weeks what the markets are sort of betting on, and they see a three-quarter percent hike coming next week, but the same three-quarter percent hike about 70% of them saw coming in september is now down to less

than 40 percent. so what do you make of that? >> yeah. so it seem like the fed's definitely going to begin the scale back the level of the hikes at each meeting. so 75 basis points the next meeting, 50 basis points in december. we'll kind of see where it goes from there. the most important thing though, neil, is where is that terminal fed funds rate. and we saw the expected terminal fed funds rate last week, really it clipped about 5%. as of this morning it had backed down to about 4.88%. but i think at the end of the day in order for the fed to really deal with inflation and hit it head on, i think they're going to have to go above 5%. and as you see that stuff kind of happen, as you see, you know, the mess matches that you were seeing in the treasury market with an inverted yield concern, you know, we just kind of have to watch that deity by day and -- day by day and play the game that's in front of us. and i think right now the market is not pricing in enough fed rate hikes. neil: got it, my friend if.

thank you, mark. always good catching up with you on this stuff. >> have a great weekend, neilful neil you too, my friend. susan li is in san francisco, she's had an opportunity to talk to the big guns over at apple with those numbers that, you know, i guess they are now sort of digesting them and saying you know, those are pretty damn good numbers, aren't they? what did you come away with? susan: yeah. and most of these technology earnings have been impacted by the strong dollar which is because of higher interest rates. but if you strip that out, we're still looking at $100 billion in the holiday shopping period, and that's what apple, that's what amazon is still guiding on. and, by the way, apple is saying we're not going to grow maybe 8%, but still 5% up from a record holiday period last year when you sold more than $100 billion worth of services and devices, that's pretty strong. i got a chance to catch up with tim cook, and, look, there is a new reality in the global economy. he says it's a challenging

environment. there's no doubt about that, he says, and that's the macroeconomic effect obviously what is driving right now the strong dollar and this corresponding weakness in currencies in most spots around the world. and if so that's big. and then you've got in the services area things happening, digital siding that's clearly macroeconomic. digital advertising. he understands there's a slowdown taking place in digital advertising which has been reported by google, meta and other social media companies, pinterest. gaming slowing down as well. and in terms of inflation, you know, he he's told me inflation impacts everybody and, yes, that a does include ap. and that's why, in some ways, they had to raise their apple services. apping tv+are are going up to 6.99. apple music, apple bundle, and he says it's really different reasons. if you remember when we priced apple tv+ , we priced it when we had very few shows, and now

we're just pricing, he says, to the value of the service now. on music, the cost of licensing has gone up, so you can i call that somewhat inflationary. but in terms of other bigger ticket items that are inflationary, wages, logistics are still inflationary, certain silicone inputs. they've had access to silicone components, their factories are still up and running, so really all in you strip out the strong dollar which will have a 10 percentage point impact on their holiday shopping period, they're still guiding for a strong the, strong holiday period, neil. there are some constraints for the new iphone 14 pro maxes, the high end, but if you think about it, i mean, if that's where the constraints are, that means demand is pretty high as well. so i think they're selling more of those high-end devices which, of course, increases the amount that they make on each device that they sell. neil: i'm glad you mentioned

that. there was disquality on -- disappointment on wall street that iphone sales disappointed, but they disappointed for, if you're apple, all the right reasons. the demand is such that they can't get them in everyone's hot hands fast enough, right? susan: yeah. and look at the max sales, they were huge in the september quarter. they did say that mac sales will decelerate because it's a tough compare to last year. but if you look at mac sales, they're actually lifting a lot of those chipmakers like the nvidias and the amds and the like -- neil: sure. susan: and possibly micron. if you get them into the apple ecosystem, it's hard to switch out, that's also what i've heard from wall street analysts. neil: great job, as always, susan li in san francisco, california. anytime we can get to kelly o'grady, the big story is elon musk closing that $44 billion

twitter deal, and already he fired some top workers,al bewith it -- albeit with generous parachutes on the way out. >> reporter: yeah, he tweeted out the bird is free. i felt like that was a nice idea of what's to come. he wasted no time getting started. he fired the ceo as well as the cfo and the head of policy. remember, she was responsible for kicking trump off. so the most imminent question becomes whether musk is going to allow former president trump back on the platform. he has reportedly reinstated kanye west's account, and he doesn't support permanent bans. so that could be ebbs treatmently impactful with the -- extremely impactful. trump sharing, quote, i am very happy that twitter is insane hands, but he did follow up that he loves truth social. some advertisers have made it clear they will pause ads if hing were to be allowed, so if

musk were to create more engagement, they might be forced to change their tune there. and the left is melting down on social media, one writing that the gates of hell are open. but that sentiment, i think, underscores what musk wrote to advertisers yesterday. i want to share this quote with you. he said there is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right-wing with and far left-wing echo chambers. that's why i bought twitter, i did it to try to help humanity, which i love. what content is off limits, what are we allowed to say and whatting role is musk's twitter going to play in those decisions which are, certainly, going to come quickly? and let's remember, neil, he said he may fail, but i'm also hearing from some bankers health care try to take this public in 3-5 years. i think the focus will be on free speech and also profitability. neil: all right. thank you very much for that, kelly o'grady. in the meantime, all politics all the time here. we are a little bit more than a

week and a half away from the election. both parties are prepared to bring out to -- big guns to help close the deal. the big controversy is in pennsylvania where the president is going to be campaigning on behalf of john fetterman. he might have had a very controversial, actually, a a horrid debate, but the president and prominent democrats feel that will not affect his still winning this seat. we shall see. ♪ and we can build this dream together, stand this storm forever -- ♪ nothing's gonna stop us now. ♪ and if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other. ♪ nothing's gone that stop us ♪

neil: all right, sometimes it hits you when request who you least expect it to hit. we are talking right now about paul pelosi, the wife of the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, who was attacked inside his home. authorities wanted to make it a point to say he was violently assaulted. other report saying he was attacked with a hammer. don't know all the details here. we do know local police are going to update us on where this stands and who might have been behind this and why. jonathanen hunt in los angeles with more. jonathan. >> reporter: neil, we are getting some disyou are thing --

disturbing details about this attack on the 82-year-old husband of speaker nancy pelosi, paul pelosi. he was, apparently, beaten with a hammer. he sufferedded blunt force trauma to his head and body, and sources telling the associated press that the pelosi house was specifically targeted. that may well be why the fbi and the u.s. capitol police are now assisting the san francisco police department in an attack that a we with first heard about from crew hamill, who is the spokesman for speaker nancy pelosi. he issued a statement saying, quote, early this morning an assailant broke into the pelosi residence in san francisco and violently assaulted mr. pelosi. the assail lance is in custody, and the motivation for the attack is under investigation. mr. pelosi was taken to the hospital where he's receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery. now, speaker pelosi was not at

the home at the time. she was, in fact, in washington d.c. motivation, big question here. we will hear more about that, we expect, with the us from police department when they hold this press conference many just over ten minutes' time. neil, the big question, of course, is was it politically motivated. of we have seen previous political protests outside the pelosi house which is well known in san francisco. back in july 020 there was -- 2020 there was a protest. also on new year's day 2021, some offensive graffiti was dobbed on that home. but this attack against paul pelosi is being condemned across the political divide. republican john dennis, who is running against nancy pelosi in this year's midterm elections, said it was, quote, an appalling act that deserves condemnation and contempt. no one has the right to violent another's property, nor to initiate force on anyone else. pelosis are neighbors.

my family and i wish a speedy recovery for paul and swift justice for the assailant. the white house also released a statement saying that the president is, quote, praying for paul pelosi and for speaker pelosi's whole family. president biden apparently called peeker pelosi -- speaker pelosi to express his support after what the white house termed a horrible attack. and again, neil, just about ten minutes we'll hear from the san francisco police department, and motive the big question here. the most disturbing potential motive, of course, was that this was politically motivated and was designed to do harm to speaker pelosi herself. orr, as it turns out in actual fact, harm to paul pelosi who, again, is 82 years old and is recovering right now in the hospital, neil. neil: just incredible. jonathan, thank you very much for that. it is a reminder that crime is everywhere and hits everyone, and it's a big issue in the

pennsylvania race as well. we're seeing some of the party's top guns for republicans and democrats gather in that keystone state over the next few days, actually, right through the end, right up until the midterms themselves with some of the big guns including barack obama, the president, and a host of others who are going to be campaigning on behalf of, among others, john fetterman, in that senate race. let's go to brian yen maas in philadelphia with more. -- bryan llenas. >> reporter: yesterday senate majority leader chuck schumer said he didn't believe the debate hurt democrats too much in pennsylvania. well, tonight president biden and vice president kamala harris will both with sharing the stage with democrat lieutenant governor john fetterman who will be speaking tonight, he's expected to, at the state democratic party dinner here at the philadelphia convention center. fetterman's campaign has distanced itself from biden, but they've made two joint public appearances together since september. tonight's visit comes as fetterman tries to reare assure

voters he's fit for office following his stroke. >> and so my doctors believe that i'll be able to return back to being full back on, back on 100% as long times keeps going, longer and longer. >> reporter: biden and former president obama will reportedly be in pennsylvania on november 5th. obama notably held big events here in to 2016 for hillary clinton and in 2020 for biden with mixed results. two new ads are playing throughout the commonwealth starring obama, and his closing message is not the economy, it's about threats to democracy. >> -- a blind eye to white nationalism and conspiracy theories, or we can fight for an america where truth matters. so when the fate of our democracy and a woman's right to choose are on the line are, i know john will fight for pennsylvanians. >> reporter: former president

trump is holding a rally in pennsylvania on november 5th to back dr. mehmet oz the same day biden and obama will also be in the commonwealth. in a statement the oz campaign said this: democratic efforts to help fetterman, quote, there's no distancing from this dangerous agenda as the momentum in this race continues to shift and pennsylvanians rally behind dr. oz's message of restoring balance to washington. tonight will mark, according to the white house press corps, tonight is biden's 21st visit to pennsylvania. that is huge when you compare that to orr battleground states like georgia where he's only been 3 times. neil: i didn't know it was that many times. bryan llenas, thank you. to david rucker of of the washington examine orer on what these endorsements can mean. barack obama has better luck when he is on the ticket, not so much when he is not. what do you think, david? >> well, look, i don't think

endorsements mean as much as they did in years past. clearly, donald trump's endorsement can mean a lot, but when you're looking at general elections, endorsements recede as influential moments of the captain -- campaign. hay do, however, get people excited, give people a reason to tune in and allow you to get a prominent voice to carry your message. so in that regard, particularly in a race for the senate that could determine the senate majority that's on a knife's edge at the moment, it doesn't hurt to have some big names and big guns come into the state and help you turn out your vote. so much of this, neil, can be about voter turnout. there's a slice in the middle, and they could have the final say. but with focus on turnout on both sides, that's often where a lot of the work is done. neil: normally, you don't see that type of enthusiasm in an off-year election are, a midterm election. you do, certainly, in pennsylvania. you do, certainly, in georgia and florida and a host of others, some two dozen states

with early voting or mail-in ballots. i'm just curious where that vote might be going or whether those passionate, early voters might be going. and thinking in the case of pennsylvania, david, hundreds of thousands of them had voted on the senate race in particular before that debate. what do you think? >> well, it's a really good question. and what we've seen this election cycle is that often you have a different kind of voter who votes early or votes by mail hand votes on election day. so you can count up these early votes, these mail-in votes, and it may look like the race is going to go one way, and all of a sudden you get a flood to the polls on election day with a different kind of voters. we saw this in republican primaries where the candidates endorsed by former president trump, those voters tended to vote on election day where voters that had supported other republicans this these primaries were more prone to use mail-in and early voting as their method

of participation. and we saw this, of course, in 020, right? -- 2020. there were so many republican votes for trump that came in on election day, so many votes for biden that came in before election day. so i think it's really hard to judge until we see how this thing turns out. i think the one thing different about this midterm election than past is even though republicans have an enthusiasm edge and they've got the fundamentals on their side, democrats are more energized than they really are have a right to be and more energized than i've seen from the party many power in the white house in past midterm elections that often turn because the party out of power floods to the polls and the party that's in power just kind of sits on their hands and waits for the next presidential election. neil: real quick, you mentioned early voting and the way ballots are counted in a lot of states, those are the last ballots to be counted. hence, that view of donald trump at the time in 2020 when he was

winning cay-of ballots that were coming in. but as the night ensued, you know, the counting of those mail-in and other early ballots changed the tide. is that kind of the way it's going to go this go-around? not so much how those votes go, but that the earliest votes are the last to be counted? >> well, it could be. but it also depends on how states handle things. neil: right. >> the republican legislature in pennsylvania, they've opposed changing the law so that you can count these ballots early and have a full count on election night. so it could take a few days to do this. in certain states you might see election day votes turn the tide from the initial early vote count. in other states it'll be the reverse. neil: got it. you're an encyclopedia, david. thank you very much, david drucker, washington examiner, on all of that. by the way, we weren't the only one that came out of two negative quarters and turned around a positive one. something's going around, but a we saw the exact a same thing

happen in germany and france. so those recession warnings that were building'sed a little bit -- eased a little bit in those countries. and to hear the president tell it, the same in this country. but was that just a head faking? after this. ) progress...

neil: all right, was it just a blip or improving trend? of course, i'm talking about the latestest quarterly vdp reading which was positive after two consecutive quarters of contraction, the classic definition of a recession. and apparently, it wasn't only going on here. germany reporting that it, too, turned around a positive quarter as did france. other countries expected to echo the same. we don't know about the european union itself, but we do know there was some bounceback in the last three months. whether that applies to the quarter we're in and quarter9 to come is anyone if's guess. jacqui heinrich at the white house, i have a feeling how they're playing this, but help

me. >> reporter: well, neil, not just yesterday's gdp report, also today's consumer spending report that showed people are still shopping more than expected while inflation continues to bubble up underneath that, meaning that the fed is likely to keep on this track where it's expected to do another 75 basis point rate hike next week. but on top of that, it is worrisome following the gdp report which suggested at first glance the u.s. economy might be turning around after two consecutive quarters of negative growth, but a closer look, as you mentioned, showed the 2.6% growth was driven largely by good luck chases in international trade and also increased government spending. and economists think both of those will drop off in quarter four. moreover, consumer spending is slowing overall. moody's chief economist has a much less rosy take than the

president. >> take a step back and look at gdp. it's gone, effectively, nowhere over the past year. is so one quarter or two it's down a bit, this quarter it's the up a little bit. but net-net we're kind of treading water. >> reporter: another red flag, mortgage rates passed the 7% mark on the freddie mac survey for the first time in 20 years prompting senate democrat john hickenlooper to warn jerome powell against any more rate hikes saying mortgage rates have skyrocketed, borrowing costs for main street businesses have risen. the risk is higher rates will lead us into a potential recession. less than two weeks out from the midterms, president biden is touting progress under his leadership albeit with some wrong numbers. >> gas prices are declining. we're down $1.25 since the peak, and they've been falling for the last r tree weeks as well. -- three weeks as well. today the most common price of gas in america is $3.39.

town from over $5 when i took office. >> reporter: biden took office a gallon of regular was about $2.39 on average. the president says that things would be worse if republicans are back in charge, and that's being echoed by members of his staff and treasury secretary janet yellen said in an interview that she does not see any signs of a recession in the economy right now, neil. neil: great reporting, thank you, jacqui heinrich at the white house. taking a look at the corner of wall and broad, we are at session highs so maybe they're hoping, praying or buying on the notion that maybe the worst is behind us. if we skirt a recession and we only have to worry about limited hikes in rates after the three-quarter percent hike expected next week, maybe we're off to the races and some of these company earnings even disappointing in the tech world is are a sign of things turning around. to steve moore on what he makes of this, former senior adviser

to president trump. very smart man. you know, steve, perception becomes reality, and you're a great student of history. i'm reminded of george bush sr. in 1992 saying we're through the worst of it. ironically, he was proven right after the fact, but most americans didn't share that view and kicked his hinemy out -- hiney out of to value office. it's a different type of situation now, but could the administration be right to say we're getting through this? if it's falling on deaf ear9 nou make of it? >> well, neil, it's so interesting you would bring up that 1992 presidential election between clinton and george 46789w. bush because, remember, it was 30 years ago -- do you remember this, neilsome. neil: i do. >> it's the economy, stupid. and so, look, i think we are getting some good news. i love looking at your screen and seeing all that green. it's very good news for investors.

the gdp report was a nice reprieve over the last, you know, prior six months. incidentally, if you look at the whole nine-month period from january 1st to where we are today, do you know how much the gdp is up? neil: flat. >> 0.1. [laughter] so we've, essentially, had no growth in the economy over the last nine months although the direction is positive. i'll say one thing that's positive about the economy and then something that worries me. so what's positive about the economy is that if you look at -- i kind of look at the political economic cycles. and when you have midterm elections, they're kind of correction elections. and especially when you have one party in power, you get a kind of correction. i think that correction is coming from voters. and then, you know, the next year tends to be very positive for the stock market. so we'll see if that holds up. what worries me is that when i look at that gdp report, what i

like to look at most closely is what's happening to business investment, because i think that's one of the best leading indicators. and as you know, neil, those numbers were not attractive. [laughter] you know, businesses were kind of hunkering down. and the kind of investment in the future that you want to see by business just isn't showing up. neil: you know, steve, i'm always reminded we hearken back -- we're both showing our age, my friend -- but in that '92 election. and bill clinton was a brilliant campaigner. i don't remember verbatim how he was characterizing the white house's view at the time that we were rounding the bend. and he went into a long soliloquy try telling that to the woman who can't afford the groceries which is, by the way, i think a good impression of bill clinton. but he was more or less saying you can say things are fine, people back home are looking at the price they're paying, what they're going through, the fact that if they have a job, they're lucky to hang on to that, and

the numbers might be with you, but the sentiment is not. so does this president risk doing the same thing by dismissing americans' obvious concerns by saying everything's hunky dory? >> yeah. yeah, i couldn't agree more, except if i don't like your bill clinton impression -- [laughter] neil: yeah, it is pretty bad. >> look, i agree with exactly what you're saying. when biden says, oh, gas prices are lower and, you know, inflation is coming could be and people, i forget the term he used the orr day with the ice cream cone about best economy or i forget exactly -- neil: right, right. >> but that just sounds out of touch with how americans really feel. the one thing that you can't spin, even though you can't spin this, neil, is inflation. because people feel it every single day. so that's a killer for incumbent politicians when you're going to the grocery store and you're coming home angry from the price of everything from bread to wheat to, you know, to buying, you know, an ice cream cone. or you go to the gas with

station, and you're paying $4 a gallon when it used to be $2.50. i agree with you, i think that's a hard thing to spin for anybody, even you, one of the great spinners of all time. neil: as if i would spin this, and i am hurt -- [laughter] >> i say that as a term of affection. [laughter] neil: i know. step back, look at the numbers. but as bill clinton would also say on all of this, that dog don't hunt. all right, i'm done, i'm done. >> was that, was that clinton or carville? i forget. [laughter] neil: that's fine. making his final appearance on this show, steve moore -- [laughter] always good seeing you. >> have a great weekend. neil: you too. it is official, tom brady and gisele bundchen are getting divorced. what struck me in the announcement is they've already reached a divorce settlement. so on the qt and quietly on the side, they were filing the paperwork, going through the procedures and getting it done not only intending to divorce, but reaching a settlement.

neil: all right, they're divorced he was the settlement, it's done. a lot of people were hoping that maybe tom brady and gisele bundchen could patch things up. it is over. the divorce settlement is complete. that's what made this interesting, not that they were filing for divorce, but it is a done deal. gerri willis on what happened and what, if anything, we know. >> reporter: hey, neil, that's right. i'll give you a hint here, it's one word, prenup. but i'll get to that. there's an interesting twister. -- twist. the rumors were swirling around one of the country's most payments and wealthy couples for months, now confirmed. tom and gisele are ending their 13-year marriage. brady confirming on instagram saying this: we arrived at the decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. we are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will

continue to be the center of our world in every way. now, sources say lawyers for both giselle and tom had been working with a mediator to hammer out both property settlement and custody, and we're told they're come to terms. there's a lot to split up, some $26 million in property, for example, and lots, lots more. the terms of the split will probably remain confidential, so we're not going to see lots of details. but according to experts, the pair almost certainly signed a pre-nup agreement that was probably created to protect not brady, but gisele who at the time earned more than brady at the beginning of their relationship, the highest paid model in the world between 2002-2017. according to celebrity net worth, bundchen earned $500 million in salary and endorsements between 2000-2020 while brady only earned $330 million. giselle saying tom should follow

his whisk, though that wasn't in evidence last night when his buccaneers lost to the raven, the fifth lost in six games and third in a row. it's the first time he's lost three consecutive games since 2002. neil: yeah. now you have a bettered idea, maybe that was going through his mind and settling all of this and his lousy play. it's sad regardless of how you feel about it. >> reporter: it is sad. i agree. neil, i told my husband there's only one way out, toes up. neil: whoa, there we go. i told my wife i get the bocce ball court, and that's where we finish it off. [laughter] gerri, thank you very much. in the meantime, some drama going on in england right now even though the source of it is in the united states.. i'm talking about prince harry and that book that's going to be coming out soon, " stare." we got a sneak peek at the cover. hillary ford joins us.

hillary, we don't know what's in that book. we do know there had been talk that it was going to be, he was going to be givenen a $20 million payday. a lot of dirt on the royal family, in particular on his father, now-king charles. what do we know about the royal family's reaction? >> neil, pleasure to be back with you. neil: same here. >> thank you. no one is given an advance of $20 million if it's nothing but news that we already know. so, first of all, there has to be things that we don't know. penguin would never advance that sort of money for the news about the loyal -- royal family cutting rick bonnes, right? so we know that. what we do definitely know is that it's going to start out, it's already been declared it will start out with the reminiscing of him walking behind his mother's coffin. what is interesting to remember about this, neil, is that years ago he actually declared that he was fine to walk behind his

mother's coffin, but it was actually prince william who was very are reluctant, and it was prince philip, the queen's beloved husband, who said to prince william, look, if you walk, i'll go walk with you. he was the one who encouraged prince william. prince harry didn't have reservations at the time. so he's already changed his story on that. immediately upon its release there will be many who will know lots of truths hike that that were the previous truths, so it'll be the contradictions that'll make this interesting for many of us. neil: i'm just wondering now, his father is going to be coronated in the spring which is around the time, i guess, all of this hits the fan. that sounds like a premade mess. >> well, yes. and after his father's birthday but, also, it's actually going to be somewhat stealing the limelight from from now the princess of wales, former kate middleton, because her birthday is january 9th. it's almost like any day doesn't really work. but i do think a few things

here, it's not -- it's been touted as he's writing it or he wrote it. he did not. he has had -- it's really been a basically biography because the same author that wrote andre agassi's biography, j.r -- he is a former new york times reporter. he is the one that's written it. neil: wow. a lot of drama here, and like you say, you don't pay someone $20 million for just a review of some funerals you've been to. thank you very much, hillary. in the meantime, vladimir putin says what dirty bomb? there's nothing to this dirty bomb talk. but he keeps talking about dirty bombs. so i'm saying to myself, which is it? after this.

hey guys, detect this: living with hiv, i learned that i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines. that's why i switched to dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. detect this: no other complete hiv pill uses fewer medicines to help keep you undetectable than dovato. detect this: most hiv pills contain 3 or 4 medicines. dovato is as effective with just 2. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you take dofetilide. taking dovato with dofetilide can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while on dovato. don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup,

and liver problems... if you have a rash or other allergic reaction symptoms, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. detect this: i stay undetectable with fewer medicines. ask your doctor about switching to dovato.

neil: i never said anything about dirty bombs. i think that's gist of what vladimir putin is saying, that no point in detonating a city, no plans to do that, no plans to use a kimty bomb -- dirty bomb. yet he has, and people around him, have used it repeatedly. what to make of all this with kris kris christian whiton --

which is it? >> he definitely brought up the issue, and he reiterated the talking points in moscow which were ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb, they're going to use it against themselves as a false flag operation, and he told his defense minister to brief western countries. the dirty bomb issue definitely originated from putin. neil: now, i know, and smart guys like you always have to politely educate me, that such a bomb is different from, obviously, atomic weapons we've used in the past. i'm going all the way back to hiroshima and nagasaki. but it is still a precedent-making revent. it might be limited and confined to an area, but the exposure and the risks are real and deadly. so is there a lighter shade of awful here? >> it would, in fact, be a significant event because the actual pr value, if you will, for someone to use one would exceed the lethality where even,

i mean, here in new york city if someone said, well, don't worry, it was just the upper west side and just a couple of blocks that got hit, i think you would find people exiting manhattan and new york city writ large even if they were assured that it wasn't a big deal. the flip flipside, of course, putin did come out and say he wasn't going to use nuclear weapons within the context of the ukraine war. president biden, of course, retorted why do you think talking about them? neil: christian, i'm looking for some sub-level sprien intrigue where china might have told him, will you stop it with this? >> china, i think, is okay with what's going on in ukraine. it actually, prefer versely -- perversely, elevates them because it shows the limit of russia's conventional capabilities. if russia can't even knock off ukraine, what chance would it have going up against nato or poland? and that actually means within the sort of non-aligned axis

that is emerging, that china is the grand poobah of that, and then the senior partner in relationship. and china, of course, is switching to it's going to be purchasing a lot more natural gas from russia it would have otherwise gone to europe. neil: all right. thank you very much. we'll have to keep following it, but it is a little disconcerting. we have a very good mind to keep track of how you are feeling. bob doll, you remember him, of course, from his blackrock cays. of course, now, you know, taking a look at the big trends as crossmark chief as to whether we are more inclined to buy now and where our confidence is going. no one better at keeping track of it. he's next. uck. td ameritrade, this is anna. hi anna, this position is all over the place, help! hey professor, subscriptions are down but that's only
