♪. stuart: according to candy store.com which halloween candy is the most popular? is it skittles, m&ms, snickers, reese's peanut buttercup. i know the answer. what do you have, ash? ashley: my favorite, reese's peanut buttercup, can't get enough of them. stuart: agree entirely. that is the most popular candy. we'll spend $3 billion on halloween candy this year and reese's peanut buttercups. not reese's pieces but peanut buttercups. ain't that right, neil? it is yours. neil: that would make perfect sense. i account for 90% of those

sales. i'm happy this confirms everything i thought. stuart, thank you very much. meanwhile we're looking at a sweetening to the month of october. see what i tried to do there? you might be looking at dow, neil, what are you talking about? even with the downdraft down 80 points as stuart is pointing out we're looking at one of the best octobers ever. you have to go back to the country's buy centennial in 1976. october brought us the 1987 crash and united failed airlines leveraged buyout that went klabooy. the thing we celebrated, discussed on my weekend show, the 1929 stock market crash that week when we slid about 30% on the averages and it heralded the great depression and everything else. the only reason why i mention all of this right now, there are a couple of factors could be

coming into play, including maybe the federal reserve slows down after this week's expected rate hike. a 3/4% rate hike and then they do thing in smaller chunks. little reese's pieces if you will. the next hike might only be a half percentage point. the hike after that if there is one, might be put off until the meeting after that. there is no way of knowing all of this, that is what markets are pouncing on. then this other added ted did the market cost factor in the republicans winning back congress, not just the house but the senate as well. so a lot going on here. peter doocy at the white house with the latest from that front. peter? reporter: and we just aren't seeing a lot of president biden out there trying to help his team hold the house and the senate which would make his life a lot easier for the next two years of his first term. officials say he is out there making the case every day, but that is not what we're seeing. no campaign events today. no campaign events over the

weekend? president biden: i'm feeling good. i've been i guess now 36 constituencies either campaigning for a specific candidate or going with a candidate who is doing something like out at the bridge in pittsburgh. reporter: a lot of official events. not very many political events. democrats are making the closing argument almost exclusively about republican plans instead of their own. they're consistently warning if republicans get control of congress medicare and social security benefits are in danger but republicans aren't really saying that in the closing days. they're instead emphasizing specific policies they would like to put forward. >> the very first day we'll repeal these new 87,000 irs agents. i think government should be here to help you not to go after you. it is the fundamental but the part about crime, you got to secure your border. reporter: ultimately very little of that will be possible without president biden's signature. for the next week or so we expect to see officials here dig

in, same as republicans are digging in but if they're going to get anything done in the next congress somebody on either side is going to have to reach across the aisle. neil? neil: i won't hold my breath for that, peter but keep me posted. peter doocy at the white house. meanwhile going to rich edson, in pennsylvania, mail-in voting by extension. hundreds of thousands have already done so, right? reporter: they have, neil, and you last today day to request one of the ballots if you live in pennsylvania. if not, then you have to vote on election day like you used to have to. like peter was saying it has been a quiet day on the campaign trail. i don't know if they're trick-or-treating or what. neither senate campaign. john fetterman on the weekend held a couple events in harrisburg, in pill in

philadelphia with union workers and students. the question in the next week will kick up. president biden will lean more into the race. he and vice president harris appeared with fetterman at a fund-raiser on friday. biden and former president obama will campaign for democrats in philly, pittsburgh, biden already in some ways has been campaigning for fetterman. reporter: president biden: i thought he was really good, what he was doing, he is strong. fetterman is pennsylvania. fetterman is everything that he appears to be. you know where he stands. he has great courage. he has no luck tans to say what he thinks. he is my kind of guy. he is getting better and better. he had a stroke. he is recovering. reporter: republican nominee, republican nominee mehmet oz, his campaign says they look forward to making the connection between president biden and john fetterman this is oz's campaign

spokesperson saying quote, joe biden and kamala harris refuse to fight violent crime, stop flow of deadly drugs across our border and combat skyrocketing inflation and gas prices there is no distracting from this dangerous agenda. another president plans to ralph to pennsylvania. former president trump will have a rally in latrobe, wednesday, out close to pittsburgh. the fetterman campaign plan on making this an issue between president trump, the former president and mehmet oz. they want to draw that connection over the next week. so for as much of these candidates especially here, nationwide who have been running away from more unpopular current and former presidents in their parties they will have no choice but to embrace them over the next week. neil? neil: rich, i'm curious, 750,000 ballots cast in pennsylvania, something like that, how many of them, for example, in the senate race were you know, were made before that debate?

reporter: it was in the hundreds of thousands. i don't have the specific numbers on me. the debate, the debate was a week ago. they have gotten 700 some odd thousand back. if you look at some of that "new york times" polling that we've seen, sienna university, "new york times," sienna college, "new york times," that mostly was taken with the can exception of one day of that survey before that debate. this debate two weeks before election day, very late in the cycle. neil: thank you, my friends. rich, i tried to put you on the spot. you were ready and had your homework done and i appreciate that. in pennsylvania. go to mick mulvaney, you have the political stuff, the economic stuff, the federal reserve poised to increase rates 3/4s point, from vantage point that is the crucial development, former white house chief of staff, former omb director. he knows his numbers, he knows his stuff, whatever you middle

east think of politics. we get on left and right people shouting and screaming at each other, he is a smart man whether it comes to these type of issues. mick, thank you for taking the time. i want to focus if i can on the fed and your thinking because, right now the betting is we'll see rates go up by another 3/4 of a point. people from goldman to morgan stanley say maybe the overnight lending rate topping at or about the 5% level and when you step back and you look at that, that is five full percentage points meyer than higher than we were a year ago. what do you make of that. >> 12 points than where we were in the 1970s. it is a very different world. neil: very good point. >> i wonder how high they can raise rates. keep in mind we're borrowing money to carry the interest carry. the amount of interest each day comes out of additional debt. our debt is going up so we pay

on interest of debt we have. we're printing more money. we're starting on a vicious cycle down. if the fed raises rates much more than they already have, the thing that pays the most interest is the federal government. i think they're restricted how much they can raise the rates. i think that is a good thing. i'm not sure rates solve a problem. neil: wait a minute. that is a fascinating point. you think the fed would be kind of forced to reserve a little bit because of all that debt. you're quite right, adding 180, $200 billion a year in higher rate costs we're looking at now. even if inflation were a problem still the fed would slow down, maybe even stop? >> yeah. i think the average debt right now, our maturities, average maturities in our debt is about five years. so someplace between the two-year and the 10, and those costs are 3 1/2, 4% depending where you are in the week so forth that is a huge amount of

money. if that goes to 10%, if the government's borrowing costs goes to 10% on $30 trillion, that math is pretty easy, just $3 trillion a year just in interest payments. an obscene amount of money. i think the fed is restricted, in the back of their minds they can't do the same thing they did in the 1970s because we're too heavily in debt. neil: this is where we weigh into more the political stuff you generally try to askew these days and i understand, if you think about it there, is popular wave against governments whether liberal or conservative. liz truss turned on her own party in britain and the financial institutions turned on her as well. even in brazil right now favoring a leftist over the more moderate president for the time-being, but i see this playing out again and again. what, you think it should be a reminder to republicans that you know, waves like this aren't confined to parties, just for

the time-being, parties in power? >> yeah. waves can be strange, right? they can be a wave for you or a wave against somebody else and you always have to be real careful as to what that is because it gives you if you're on the winning side of that wave you have different political capital depending how you got into office. i do think the get into politics a little bit, one of the things we're seeing, away from economics for a second, i come back if you want to, republicans are really only candidates talking to undecided voters about things think care about. undecided voters are undecided for a reason. they don't follow a party, politics very closely. what do they care about now? inflation and maybe crime and the republicans are talking about that. the democrats are talking about abortion. it is a really tough sort of campaign strategy to go out to the voter to say i know you want to talk about x but you're wrong about that let's talk about y. that tends to turn voters off and drive them to the other party where i think the democrats are making a big

mistake right now aside from all going wrong with the economy itself. neil: you know if i go back directly what could be a potential fed pivot, not for what a lot of folks think, if you're right, they're concerned about overburdening the u.s. debt with added interest rate costs, that i might get. it might lead to some, they won't be done with the inflation fight and done with another battle. what do you think? >> i think the fed is limited. we're in a problem caused a little bit by their interest rate policies over the course of the last decades. also because of the supply restrictions that we've had. yes we have covid that has been a problem. that is problem. russia is a significant problem. but you also have the reregulatory policies of this administration. so as you sit here look at inflation too much money chasing too few goods, they're hurting

on supply of money and making it hard about getting stuff to market. the biden admin strange makes it tough to get stuff to markets. if you look at inflation i don't think it is going away anytime. neil: do you apply the same standards to tax cuts the same we do with spending, if you don't pay for them we're in trouble? liz truss found that out. will republicans will have to pay for them. >> we look at them differently, best deficits let you keep your money, that is more allocation of efficient capital. the worst deficits are welfare, income redistribution, because that is the least type of efficient debt you can probably have. i don't know if people care yet about debt. keep in mind, half of the people in this country seem to think inflation is caused by corporate greed and ollie goll until we change people's mind what is

causes inflation, it will be hard to fix. i think it will be here for a while. you talk about how slow the government spends money. they allocated appropriated all that money over the course of the last year. nowhere near all of that money left the government covers. it is not out in the economy. when i took over omb, we still had money we hadn't spent from hurricane superstorm sandy or katrina. neil: i always learn a lot, mick mulvaney, thank you very much. former white house chief of staff, former management and budget director. he knows his numbers, man, does he know his numbers. these numbers are interesting, the dow down 71 points. unless there is a big kablooy, we're looking at the best october since 1976. what is going on, what is the market saying, what does that portend for november? we'll see after this.

♪. neil: all right, there is that new boss over at twitter. apparently not everyone he is a fan. he is scaring some workers. he is scaring some potential advertisers like general motors. i'm not quite sure what that is about. but i know kelly o'grady is. she is in san francisco with more. kelly? reporter: hey, good to see you, neil. he hasn't made any major changes yet but elon musk is being faced with striking this delicate balance to retain the support of key stakeholders. one of them as you said is advertisers. a number of brands plan to walk if president trump is let back on the platform but general motors has become the first major brand to hit pause on their advertising. they confirmed to fox business, quote, we're engaging with twitter to understand the direction of the platform under the new ownership. on a new cores of business with a new platform we temporarily paused our paid advertising. pro-musk users are calling gm woke and anti-free speech.

critics are highlighting because that is interesting because general motors has a heavy presence with its chevy brand with tiktok. that platform is under investigation with its ties to china, how it is sharing data. musk says no content changes are being made yet. we see him walk the thin line with government stakeholders as well. he reportedly reached out to the european commission that twitter will abide by their online content policies but stateside he is facing pushback from democratic lawmakers. senator chris murphy tweeted this out, we should be concerned, the saudis who have a clear interest in repressing political speech and u.s. politics are second largest owner after major social media platform there is a clear issue at stake and cfius should do a review. there is tough balance heavy expectations on the right to have little to no content moderation but you have governments who want to moderate big tech this is where it becomes interesting. you buy something, you face the

challenges of executing your vision. neil: all right. thank you very much for that, kelly o'grady in san francisco on that. want to go to jonathan hoenig first on this. i love talking to jonathan, well, he is hip and he is cool with technology. he knows what this whole internet thing is. but, jonathan, the one thing that is wild about the rage and the controversy since elon musk has taken over, he will destroy this thing. it will collapse of its own weight. a lot of it has to go do with offering other points of view. i'm saying what's the harm, what's the harm offering other points of view but what do you make of all this? >> a lot of outrage, neil a lot of investment in twitter a lot of investment in social media, emphasizes the fact this is a new industry and it is changing and should be changing that is the positive thing here. elon musk is here, no matter what you think of elon musk this guy could be sitting on a beach collecting dividends never

lifting a finger in his life he is taking on a charge. this is what wealth creation is. we could see a new model at twitter. we could see some type of new verification. we could see a business all together. think of the difference amazon now when it first started. think of the mcdonald's when it first started versus when ray kroc got into the middle of it. management is what counts especially in technology companies, it is up to elon given competition he faces from others it is up to elon to execute what kelly said, what really counts, keeping and getting users to the sites. neil: an argument has been made that musk is spread too thin and whatever time and attention he wants to devote to twitter he is going to need a full-time ceo from twitter that is not him. i don't know who that would be. i don't know who he relies on. no one wants to disrupt what he is doing with tesla, spacex, or other ventures he has. i was looking at the list of companies. it runs more than a dozen

strong. so what do you make of that? that is one of the things that gets in his way? he is simply too knee deep in other stuff? >> it is pretty astoundings, neil, to imagine one man, one person could run so many huge high-profile companies. whether or not elon can execute on that, as a investor i simply don't want to invest in certainly some of these enterprises. tesla, for example, is a real loser, not just this year, not too far off from the fifth loaf. ironically, neil that is the beauty of free markets. there is no monopoly. everyone is worried about twitter, for example, you remember prodigy or compuserve, these were the big -- neil: overdone, that the selloff is overdone, i'm veering into technology in general. >> sure, sure. neil: there are a lot of people held all these issues, tesla included twitter included. >> facebook. neil: facebook, you're right. a lot of them are saying all right, i held on to it should i let go of it and eat my losses?

for those at that stage, forget about people who might have unwound positions earlier, what do they do? what do you tell them to do. >> it is always about your own individual situation, your own context. we have a lot of younger viewers in their 30s, their 40s, if you are in it for the long term, five or 10 years doesn't make a difference, my estimation, my suggestion is to hold on. facebook, neil, which is down 70% this year, who could ever imagined that. ironically basically what happened to microsoft 20 plus years ago. the stock came down dramatically. it took a decade to rebuild. i think some of these companies like facebook, for example, like google, they're not bad companies but the valuations simply got ahead of themselves. there are places to make money in the market, neil. we're seeing small caps take off, energy stocks, master limited partnerships. there are places to make money in this market. i think tech simply isn't what it is in the near term. neil: we're closing out a very

strong october unless something goes kablooy here. what does that tell you or is this a head fake? >> you have to look at a little bit of history, neil. in the '70s, we had two or three big bull markets and bull markets over a couple of months, even a couple years. ultimately in 1980 the stock market hadn't gone anywhere. i don't think that should dissuade investors trying to participate in this. i don't think it's a head fake. you can put money to work here. don't make it all or none. don't focus on old ideas. let elon work it out and focus what is moving the market now. neil: jonathan hoenig, my friend, on all of that. meantime this one had new york gubernatorial candidate who is running even in the bluest of blue states with governor kathy hochul, what the heck was the policeman's benevolent association writing the governor a 25,000-dollar check? we discussed it this past weekend because he didn't get the same check and he is a

children, grandchildren and i are heartbroken and traumatized by the life threatening attack on our pop. paul pelosi went to surgery to repair the head fracture he suffered from the attack. he is expected to make full recovery. this man, david depape broke into the their home and allegedly said where's nancy, where's nancy. when officers showed up they witnessed depape beat mr. pelosi with a hammer he had had a list of people he wanted to. he had disturbing posts, qanon, election conspiracyies, posts about aliens. top democrats are blaming right-wing politics for the attack. berkeley neighbors reportedly say this same guy, mr. depape lived in a hippie collective in

berkeley. he also reportedly posted some liberal anti-sentiment establishment views online. he has ties to a former nudist activist who says he has been homeless and suffers from mental illness and drug use. so far police have not determined a motive in the assault on paul pelosi and both democrats and republicans are cone demming this attack. >> well let me be perfectly clear, violence or threat of violence has no place in our society and what happened to paul pelosi is wrong. reporter: also just days after purchasing twitter elon musk jumped into the mix tweeting and deleting a link to a fringe website with an unfounded rumor about the attack. san francisco's d.a. held a press conference yesterday to clear up confusion on this case. she said arriving officers determined there were only two people at the house at the time of the attack, not three. she also says there is nothing to suggest pelosi and depape

knew each other prior to the incident. >> to be brutally attacked in your own home is one of the worst crimes that you can suffer. so i think there needs to be a respect for what that family has endured, what mr. pelosi has endured and is recovering from. reporter: the d.a.'s office is going to file charges against mr., or depape today and they're also expecting to schedule his arraignment for sometime tomorrow. neil? neil: christina, thank you for that. christina coleman in san francisco with the latest there. darren porcher back with us, the former njpd top lieutenant. i always hate to talk to you with circumstances like this, don't get me wrong, i love talking to you. maybe sense of this because in prior interviews you always talked about keeping politics out and dealing with the crime element, people behind the crime, increasing there are individuals with serious mental issues. this seems the latest example of that. what do you think? >> good afternoon, neil, and

good afternoon to the viewers. i am diametrically opposed to attack on paul pelosi. i am a conservative republican but at the same token feel for us to afford protections of the social contract to all citizens whether at the top or the bottom of the spectrum and, neil, i think you feel the same way. this is something that we should not experience as common citizens. when we go back to the purview of policing in the city of san francisco we had a district attorney that has since an recalled and we have a new district attorney. therefore we need to uphold the rule of law and not just nancy pelosi's husband but we want all of the citizens in a city of san francisco be safe and it is apparent that has not been happening. neil: you know one thing that i noticed too, darren, and you know the city very well, having worked in it in new york and elsewhere, i get in very, very early.

i see elements i used to never see who are out on the streets. some look clearly disturbed and some act on that. now that has increased. i don't know all the details of this guy in san francisco, i know a little bit about the background but he had issues. there are a lot of people with issues just walking the streets but seems like record numbers. i'm wondering how we get a handle on that? >> we want to take a page out of former giuliani's playbook in connection with quality of life. the quality of life agenda that was driven forth in the city of new york back in the 1990s was very successful. we had, with he folk can we focd on low level of panhandling or people in a situation that didn't work for us in society. i'm not saying we lock up everyone who is mentally ill but

doing nothing, it exacerbates the problem. we have to do something. we have police officers that are skilled in dealing with people that are experiencing mental illness conditions, therefore, we need to get those individuals treatment. it is not happening in places like new york as well as what we see in san francisco. neil: while i have you here i didn't want to veer into politics and did, only do now, because the governor of new york has disputed as exaggerations that we show when we show these crime incidents but we were as you were speaking showing the crime, double-digit spikes pretty much across the city year-to-date, by the way happening in so many cities in the country. a lot of people were very surprised when the policeman's benevolent association wrote a 25,000-dollar check to governor hochul as was the guy who is challenging her, lee zeldin with whom i spoke on this very issue this past weekend. i want you to react to this.

two years after endorsing donald trump the new york city police benevolent association has given $25,000 to your opponent, governor hochul. they haven't given you any money. how do you feel about that? >> we heard from a lot of nypd officers who are pissed off learning that their money went to kathy hochul pandering to the pro-criminal allies in the state legislature. neil: what did you think of that? >> neil, this was the million dollar question because it clearly blew my mind because when we speak to the testament of public safety as it relates to governor hochul, she clearly has not upheld the social contract. i think lee zeldin is the plausible person that can come into office and change the trajectory of the crime that is reaching a meteoric rise in the state of new york. i'm hopeful that the other police unions will join and provide lee zeldin with the necessary campaign finance to

insure that he becomes the person that is elected as the next governor of the state of new york because kathy hochul's failures have been catastrophic for all of the citizens within the state of new york. neil: darren, thank you very much. darren porcher. by the way we have, continued to reach out to governor hokier brown to come on as somewhat of a numbers nerd here on fox i rely on the numbers and data. we don't make this stuff up. this is not a fox figures ages. it is not fbn fixation. i look at numbers. data is what i am. it makes me a nerd and the nerd, the data, supports what we're saying, crime is out of control. now what we do about that is up to future leaders or present ones or anyone. more after this.

into. reporter: that's a level 4 out of level, up to 5. so that gives you a sense where they kind of stand. mansfield is also moving the southeast to code red. that is the area being hit the hardest with these shortages that means they are requiring a 72-hour notice for delivery compared to their typical day of request, because they can't guarranty fuel to customers in that region. current inventory levels for diesel at a 26-day supply. that is compared to the normal 35 to 40-day supply. you know, part of the problem is that there is just not enough production. you're taking a look at all the refineries that closed in 2020 and 2021. you know, diesel, doesn't just impact cars and trucks that fill up at gas stations like the one behind me. mansfield does a lot of delivery to major businesses for functioning. if they can't get the diesel, have to shop around, have to pay more, ultimately means for the customer you're paying higher

races. the irony, as impressive as barack obama campaigning it only seems to work when he is on the ballot, not so of when others are on the ballot. grady trimble in border town, wisconsin, on all of that, grady? reporter: i guess we will see, neil, what type of clout the former president still has because he was here in wisconsin this weekend as all of the candidates in the close senate and governors races are crisscrossing the stay right now to make their final pitch. in the case of democratic governor tony evers and senate candidate and current lieutenant governor mandela barnes, they're hoping former president obama's visit over the weekend can rally voters, especially young voters. obama tried to paint republican tim michaels the governor's candidate, senator ron johnson as extremists. he also implied johnson wants to do away with social security. >> hours, sore backs, bad needs

to get that social security. if ron johnson does not understand that, if he understands, giving tax breaks for private planes more than he understands making sure that seniors who have worked all their lives are able to retire with dignity and respect he is not the person who is thinking about you and knows you and sees you and he should not be your senator from wisconsin.

as my next guest will tell you based on the candidate his or herself. bill hagerty, tennessee senator sits on the foreign relations committee, much, much more. always good to have you, senator. i imagine you, not blowing smoke you would win your elections on you, your record, your positions. it might help to have a prominent republican campaign for you on your behalf but i think you close the deal or you don't. so i'm wondering all these party loom minute aries -- luminaries coming out for democratic candidates, republicans coming out for republican candidates as a good number are for lee zeldin in new york, i get that, he will have to close that deal and the candidates democrats are pushing for will have to close that deal, don't you think? >> you're exactly right, neil. i was just out campaigning with herschel walker in georgia last week. herschel is closing that deal but i think he enjoyed having a fellow colleague, someone will serve alongside him in the

senate to give him that energy, that support. being there together with your colleagues is helpful. the candidate has to make the sale. herschel is connecting. warnock is so concerned that he brought obama back n it is not obama on the ballot as you say. it is worn out obama era policies, that is what is taking the democrats down the path of destruction and that is why the republicans you see are surging right now. back in august the democrats and media tried to write the epithet of the republican party. what you're seeing a movement back in every one of these states. i will be traveling later this week to north carolina. ted budd will make the sale i will support him. the bolduc race in new hampshire. i'm up there later this week. he is moving the dial in the right direction. supporting them, next week we'll close the argument. i will be headed to nevada, headed to arizona. again the masters race and race for adam laxalt are close enough i think we'll take those states. i see momentum.

i feel it. i want to be there to help my colleagues make that sale. neil: nothing against either party doing that with big guns. you certainly qualify in that from your party sir, but give you a sense what you're safing with the senate. the house look like, i never want to take that leap, a pretty good bet for republicans. the senate a little less so. but how do you see things stacking up, whether you wait until a runoff election in george today, for example if that is what it comes to do decide its makeup, what do you think? >> neil, i feel momentum. we're pushing momentum. i've a site out, block bidden.com. if you want to block biden, turn our country back around, help us move this across the line. i feel confident if we keep leaning into this, all the way to november 98th, see a result that will turn it around. we'll stop the craziness. we'll see a republican majority in the united states house and the united states senate. neil: do you worry republicans will be under pressure if you're

party in power, congress, hours and senate, because it has been indiscriminate protest, it was against liberal or you know, conservative was revolted against by fellow conservatives in britain and progressive president or moderate president turned on by the even more progressive former liberal candidates. so that they take it out on whatever party is in power? i'm talking about brazil, the latest case? >> yes. you know, i think that's, that is wholly likely. i think it is actually appropriate in many cases. look what happened with this party in power. in just 20 months, joe biden turned our border into a national disaster. the energy policies that we have undertaken made is weaker as a nation. they society our economy into massive inflation. pouring on top of that, massive amounts of stimulus that still hasn't worked its way through the system. the inflation is still the party with both the controlled of the

house, the senate, the white house. it is right to hold them accountable. we'll have to turn this around. republicans will have to lead, give american public the reason to vote for us in 2024. neil: we'll see what happens. >> thank you, neil. great to see you. thank you. neil: meantime here the dow has just sunk to new lows so far, not most of the low. we were off 170 points. down about 140. we're on that because unless something goes kablooy, it is a super strong october. ♪. ...
