♪. stuart: good morning, everybody, yes it is coming up on 10:00 eastern time. we'll go straight to the money. here is what is happening to your cash, hard-earned savings in the first day of trading of the new week, election week by the way. dow up 31. nasdaq up a mere 32. 10-year treasury yield, going up 4.19%. earlier we found the two-year was above 4.70, how about that? price of oil down a little bit, 32 cents lower at 92 bucks. bitcoin holding on to the 20,000-dollar level. that is the markets. now this. in the days right before the election the democrats resorted to fear-mongering, they have lost and inflation, crime, the border and energy. they suggested we're all in

danger. from what? the wicked republicans don't forget about donald trump. former president obama said if the gop wins the true democracy will go away. he doesn't talk about how this will happen. talks about censoring books you read, reporters being locked up. where did that come up? the man who opened the door for joe biden's presidency, james clyburn. democracy will end if republicans win. hillary clinton said real threats to our country. the president says future of your democracy is at stake. that is desperation. that is a form of extremism in and of itself. the bottom line here the democrats know they are losing on issues that affect our everyday lives. the polls suggest scare tactics at the last minute will not work. the second hour of "varney" just getting started ♪.

stuart: a long time since we've been seen byron york, too long in my opinion. here is he is, byron. do you think the fear mongering will help them tomorrow? >> no, i don't. we are in the hysterical stage of the campaign. sometimes that happens in the final few days of the campaign. the party behind in the polls see defeat coming on and they try to avert it. certainly with the president trying to the frame the election not as a referendum on his own performance in office. but a choice. the choice being electing democrats or ending american democracy. the president biden set the stage for i imtemper ant things,

including congressman clyburn. stuart: the white house is forced to walk back there biden's comments after he said this about coal plants. reporter: it is now cheaper to generate electricity from wind and solar than it is from coal and oil. literally cheaper. we'll be shutting the plants down across america and having wind and solar. stuart: senator manchin called the comments outrageous and divorced from reality. the white house claims biden's words were twisted. what is reaction to all of this, byron? >> as brit hume said biden's words were not twisted they were quoted. that is what he said. this is democrat policy for quite a long time. president biden's former boss president obama said the same thing. it has been democratic policy quite a while. senator manchin really, ripped into the president, in a statement he released. you know it has only been three months since senator manchin came to the rescue of president

biden in a big climate bill, giving democrat as lot of what they wanted, holding out against what was called the "build back better" act. when they changed the name to the inflation reduction act still huge subsidies for renewable energy, he went for it. so i'm not sure how much senator manchin can complain after having cast his lot with the president biden and the environmental lobby. stuart: byron, you follow the polls as closely as anyone does. you're right in the middle of the political world. would you care to give us your forecast? you may refuse but if you would like to give us your forecast for the house and the senate in tomorrow's elections we would love to hear it. >> you know washington is this odd place where in the last few days if you run into anybody the first thing they say, what is your number? your number being, how many republicans do you think they're going to be in the house and, i have written i think it is true that a republican victory in the

house is all but guaranteed. i would be absolutely stunned to see them lose. it appears they will get 235 seats, so a significant majority. now in the senate republicans have become much, much more confident but you still can't be totally confident because these statewide races can go back and forth. there can be last minute shifts but a lot of republicans think they will have 52. failing that, 51 would still work for them. stuart: you would be happy with a republican, republican would surely be happy with 235 seats in the house, or 51 or 42 seats in the senate that would be good news all around, wasn't isn't. >> for the party? absolutely f they win only the house the biden legislative agenda is over, not going to happen. if they win the senate, the senate confirms president's nominees for judgeships.

what if there is supreme court vacancy. if they win the seat that will be in a strong -- stuart: good to see you byron. come back soon. >> good to see you stuart. stuart: a new survey how the president wants to change the country. lauren: 467% want a change. the according to nbc. stuart: quite a bit of change. lauren: you're not confident where the direction is going. let me compare this for previous presidents. under president's trump, 44% wanted change, obama 41%. much lower for bill clinton, just 36% want a change. they all lost a lot of seats in the midterms. stuart: 47% want president biden to change course. lauren: good deal of change. stuart: 47%. a little bit, 19%. i got it. look who is here now, jeff sica on your screens shortly. they will switch the cameras.

there you go. i want to talk to you about a windfall profits tax on oil companies. you have something to say about this, don't you? >> i really do and this shows the desperate position the biden administration is when they dig up this failed policy from 1980 from jimmy carter brought to you by the one and only jimmy carter, the second worst president we've ever had next to biden. here you have this win fall profits tax. bp comes out with earnings. they double their earnings. it was predictable as morning coming every day, that joe biden would come out and i would say the profits in the energy sector, in the big oil companies is a windfall of are war. so the last time jimmy carter did it in 1980, he reduced supply by 8% and he disincentivized people. so now what you have with

joe biden is, and this policy, if it god forbid gets enacted you will see oil prices increase. you will see investors will be disincentivized to investing in oil and it is going to create a bigger problem. so again using, going back to the hair of the dog that bit you as the solution is the wrong solution. stuart: you've become our basher in chief. you bashed president biden, president carter, before that. it was twitter and meta i think you had a go at. i understand you think a good trade on wall street would be sell meta, put the money into disney. why? >> well as you know, stuart, i really hate and despise meta. stuart: you do. >> and all they stand for the stupid idea of the metaverse which i don't care about, you guys don't care about, and the fact they're annihilating

shareholders by propelling this worthless technology, and what i see disney as, disney has made a ton of mistakes. it's been, i have owned disfor almost 30 years. it was one of the first stocks i ever bought. i always loved disney and sewed in marvel comics in my sport coat. how much i love disney. lauren: show it. >> and it's been, an obsession of mine. they have gone off the rails and i questioned bob chapek's ability to lead but they have an iconic brand. i think they will turn the tables when you have meta, around 90, disney a little higher. i would get out of that dog of a -- i don't even want to call meta a dog, because that is insulting to dogs. stuart: whoa. >> i would get out of that stock and go into disney. disney may come through tomorrow

on earnings. i think we're going to see theme parks have done better, people were dying to get out, spend $20 for "dumbo" ride and buy overpriced turkey drumstick but people are doing it. i think we're going to see, we're going to see a turnaround. lauren: turkey drumstick. stuart: one of these days you will tell us how you feel. i don't like it when you hold back. you know what i mean? >> keep it real, stuart. lauren: how do i follow that? i think i'm next. stuart: here is the setup for you, lauren is looking for movers including airbnb, go. lauren: they're making changes in price transparency up front. customers are complaining what is the cleaning fee, host strips all the bed when i'm paying a cleaning fee? stock is down because of europe proposing regulations for home rental companies including airbnb. stuart: i see walgreens boots

affordable rental housing. number two, create new tax incentive to build in disadvantages areas. give home sellers bigger break on capital-gains taxes. they are saying, the fed crushed us. the fed ruins this booming market when you have a 7% mortgage rate. they safe you have to act now because if we have potential divide in congress nothing will get done. stuart: they could do changing of regulations and permitting process. that would really help i suspect. thank you, lauren. laundrie. lauren: changing regulations that is state and local, that is federal. stuart: that is true. the balance of power in the senate could come down to a couple of counties in the keystone state. jeff flock talking to voters in pennsylvania to see if the gop leaning trend could put dr. oz over the top. karol markowicz says the democrats let randy wine garthent of the teachers union treat schools like her personal fiefdom.

taught that doctors guess the baby's gender at birth, guess, and that gender is a spectrum, it has nothing to do with biological sex. so no wonder those test scores are going down and down. ridiculous. stuart: it really is, isn't it? thanks, ash. back to you later. who will replays speaker pelosi. the democrats are looking to a new york liberal. we have that story coming up for you. doctors may be a able to diagnose diseases like cancer and parkinson's with just the sound of your voice. we'll speak with one of the doctors who created this app next. ♪

paying for blue check mark means you can impersonate anybody you want to pay eight bucks a month. that is when musk stepped in with content moderation rules. elon musk tweeting going forward any twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying parity will be permanently suspended. come on, this affects comedians like kathy griffin, her account, those. people are up in arms about the elon musk ownership and they're facing a small advertiser revolts. less at that competitors i want to note, general motors, et cetera, you do have activists group are being very activists penning an open letter to big companies like coca-cola, p&g to stop advertising under twitter under musk's ownership. musk and twitter depends for 90% of sales coming from advertising. also cutting jobs. they're trying to find cash somewhere, laying off 50% of the

workforce last friday, but then hiring back dozens of the 3,000 plus that were let go because they need to implement the new verification programs and other initiatives that musk wants to push through. musk doesn't have a lot of time to turn the company around. he tweeted laying off workers, get three months of severence, also noting, this was very telling twitter is losing $4 million a day. that is $300 million a quarter. he also has to pay back about $500 million in interest on that 13 billion-dollar loan to even acquire twitter. stuart: i think tweet from musk just appeared on our screens, is that right? >> that is when he sent out the letter that laid off 3,000 workers. stuart: okay. sounds like a hurricane just arrived. then there is this, musk just made the pitch to independent voters. this is the one i'm trying to talk about here. here is the tweet. independent-minded voters shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties. i recommend vote for republican

partisan. so i think the tide ask definitely moving out on tiktok at this point. stuart: can you actually ban isn't i mean can you stop anybody in america from using it? can you actually do that? >> i can't do it but the way this review is taking place right now within the treasury department of the biden administration there is a review called cfius that is actively looking at this issue. the commerce department is also looking at it and the federal trade commission has been asked to look at it. my view, given nefarious data flows we're seeing right now i think cfius should step in. "new york times" a few weeks ago said cfius and treasury had a tentative deal with ticktock. there were concerns from the top of the doj that the deal was not going to be tough enough on china. the point is to look to the cfius action and look for a result there. stuart: suppose a total bandied go through, i think that is probably what you're aiming for, would that mean that nobody can look at those tiktok reels, all

that stuff? it is not available in america, is that what would happen? >> yeah. i think what we need to do is ultimately break the corporate chain back into communist china and i think one practical way that may end up happening yes, to ban the application outright. look i don't see a path forward at this point for putting a solution in place that allows it to continue to operate and the reason for that is really tiktok itself. there was leaked material from a tiktok official not long ago, at the end of the day even if treasury put new protections in place that are rumored, called project texas, depends using oracle servers, the tiktok official said if product and engineering i read as beijing can still get access to it. if tiktok officials are not sure new protection can safeguard user data i think we should take them at their word. stuart: fcc commissioner brendan carr, thanks for joining us this morning. appreciate it. on a related note, tiktok hired a former campaign spokesperson

for president biden. ashley who did they hire? ashley: jamal brown is his name. appointed by the chinese owned social media app to manage policy communications for the americas, primarily focusing on the united states. brown previously worked as national press secretary for joe biden 2020 campaign. most recently pent gone press secretary at the defense department. tiktok appeared not to put out any official statement but brown's twitter bio has been updated to show his tiktok employment. republican senator josh hawley of missouri condemning brown's hiring at tiktok. he calls it alarming sighing that tiktok and its chinese parent company present a serious national security threat and accuses joe biden dithering while china is following up americans personal information. stuart: thank you, ashley. florida senator rick scott, mike rowe will join us and so too
