think this is a kind of generational election today. >> what joe biden said the last couple days, it doesn't make any sense. it's not what people want. >> there is anti an anticipatioa red wave here in florida. all morning. if inflation is your primary concern on this election day, show me, raise your hand. >> the folks in georgia, they're not just mad as hell but they are fired up in georgia. >> oh, i think it'll be a blood bath for democrats and whether we're talking about oil, the border, or crime. all of the problems that americans feel in their daily lives can be drawn directly from the pollicis embraced by this administration and democrats. stu: it is, 11:00 eastern time

and it is tuesday, november 8, yes, it is election day. calvin harris? lauren: featuring k neyo. stu: okay i got it. first the, the market i'm calling in an election day rally. why not? i think investors are keen on the idea that the gop gets a clean sweep today and gets the house and the senate or maybe a couple of governorships and the dow is up 350 and nasdaq is up 75 points as we speak. big tech, most higher earlier except now for amazon and meta. two underperformers on the downside and microsoft is up a buck and alphabet up about a buck. treasury yield is about 414 right now. folks, now this: if this really is a red tsunami, there will be

consequences. a republican sweep would mark a turning point in american politics. in short, president biden's pivot to the left will surely come to an end. start right there. the betting marks suggest there is a 90% chance the republicans take the house. that's a near certainty. say good-bye to the president's legislative agenda. some of it may be actually rolled back. the house controls the money. on the border, expect some real action. kevin mccarthy likely the next speaker says investigating border chief alejandro mayorkas is job number one. zeldin promises to end cashless bail, give judges authority to hold dangerous criminals and fire the progressive da of new york, alvin bragg and just think what happens in congress.

democrats who chair powerful committees will lose that power. far left sharon brown no longer chairs the banking committee and my personal favorite social bernie sanders will no longer chair the budget committee. saint that great? mitch mcconnell will control the senate leader and there could be another supreme court co seat coming up in the next two years. this all depends on a republican sweep of the house, senate and key governorships. this is not a republican pipe dream, it looks increasingly likely. third hour of varney starts now. stu: the applause you hear in the background is from the studio audience, which we'll get to shortly. house majority whip james clyburn lightening the u.s. to

pre-natzi germany. listen to this. >> no, democracy will be ended. the world will continue to exist. the world was here before hitler, the world was here after hitler. that's what we're saying. no, the world will not end. the kind of world we have, the kind of country we have, you've got to decide how do you want to exist in this world. that's what we are talking about. this hyperbole is not apart of what we're saying here. we're talking about what kind of could be friendsatfoxnews.com we have and what -- country we have and what kind of world we have. stu: look who's here, shannon bream that conduct that had interview on the show this past sunday. what's been the reaction? >> well, the interesting thing is he had used the words end of the world and we played it back for him because he said, no, i didn't say that and we said, let's play it back for you and i'll read it to you and he said, oh, okay. maybe i went too far in making that comment. he said, yes, there's been hyperbole and i've gone too far

and democrats are sticking with the message if you vote for our ticket it could cost you knock seizure disorders in the countre country and he's saying it similar to the rise of hitler and the natzis. stu: that's fear mongering is not landing well with voters. >> the final speech the president gave the evening speech days ago was the ending message and the people in tune with that were voting with the democratting president. stu: battleground state saw a 500% jump in women registering to vote after roe was overturned: shannon, is abortion the number one issue driving women voters this time? >> i don't. the polling isn't showing that. over the summer it was good for the democrats and rallied their base but again and again going back to people, women included, economy and crime, they want to feel safe and put their budget together and keep their family moving and those things should override secondary issues.

stu: republicans could see a record number of women, women republicans in congress this year. >> yeah, they have run a slate of their most diverse candidates yet over their in house. they've run women, different minority groups, veterans, they've tried to broaden the base of who was seen as -- sorry, mom, i'll call you back later. that's me. mom, i'll call you back later. they've tried to make sure the candidates they're fielding is the most diverse field and they are yet. stu: might want to make that call. >> she may be out voting and calling me to ask a question about a candidate. stu: shannon, thanks for being here. >> thanks, stu. stu: back to the markets and mike murphy is with this us morning. mike, if there's a republican sweep, is that good for the markets? i have a rally on my hands right now. >> you sure do. good morning, stuart. number one, we get rid of liberal policies in place

nationwide and number two more importantly, stuart, we get past the uncertainty and investors want the most level of certainty they can get. getting past the mid terms is a good point for the market and this year will be no different. stu: why in particular would big tech do well if there's a republican sweep? >> well, if the republicans do take both chambers, you're going to see interest rates not spike as much. you're not going to see the fed not having -- powell not wanting to hike rates as much hopefully and if rates are normalizing, that would be a big positive for big tech. secondarily, you also have the issues that we had with the supply chain. if those are worked out when you have more business-minded people in making decisions, that'll be also good for big tech. stu: is it a pilo pivotal elect? for policy and investors, wall street and congress? >> it is. you can argue, stuart, every election is important and the election in front of us feels as

if the country needs to see some sort of leadership. we're not getting it from the white house and we need to see someone in charge that understands all different people and not looking to divide people but really looking at the one people of the united states of america and realizing that economically we -- the stronger we are economically, the better off we are as people. stu: i've been saying all morning the rally and the rally is still in place is because investors like the idea of a red sweep of congress. you agree with that? >> i do. for certain because, you know, lock at what's been happening over the course of the last two years, it hasn't worked. there's very few voters that would look and say, four years ago, i was in a worse position than i'm in today. people don't feel safe. people's 401ks are a lot lower than where they were, we don't have -- we're not heading in the right direction. people want a change. stu: the market's performance over the past year is a negative for democrats in this election.

all the 401ks are down and that's not popular. >> there's no plan to reverse is either. stu: mike, good stuff. let's get to lauren who's watching a stock that's been mentioned frequently on this program. actually today several times. palo alto networks. lauren: dan ives a favorite, up 6.3% and cybersecurity and partnering with zoom, that everyone uses even after the pandemic and improving service on the site and also the safety of it. stu: maybe this show has clout. dan ives said that and recommended them an hour ago and it goes up 6%. lauren: then the partnership with zoom. stu: norwegian cruise lines. lauren: really good news. stocks up almost 4%. their bookings for next year are equal to the peak in 2019 and at significantly higher price. that's inflation story. management said they're starting to see moderation in hyperinflation in areas like

applicants so we haven't had that big of a problem. people really want to work with us because they do pretty well. the biggest problem we have, stuart, is crime. crime is the biggest problem. we're opening a restaurant on mcdugel street and i had a problem with the sixth precinct because drug dealers took over the whole block. i work with the sixth precinct and we're trying to make something good out of this. i voted that way today because of crime. stu: next case, talk to tim toon. is that right? >> vontoon. stu: i'll get it. welcome to the show and good to have you with us today. you're a farmer in new jersey? >> yep. stu: well, i'm a former in new york state so i know what you're talking about here. are you paying a lot more for diesel? >> yes, our diesel bill this year about double from last year. stu: double? >> yes. stu: i'm paying about $650 for diesel in up state new york. what about in jersey? >> i think last i saw was high

energy plan where they're wiping out fossil fuels. new york state we can't use fossil fuels starting in 2030. it'll be a debacle and the cost of electricity made from fossil fuels can't work. stu: can people afford to heat their homes this jeer? i realize that it's a cold winter, prices will go up. will you find people that just cannot afford it? >> stuart, we're already seeing it. stu: you're already seeing it? >> people are applying for federal government assistance. they can't afford. when heating oil is over $6 a ggallon, there's no way to heat your home. stu: shortages. we hear diesel is in shortages. what do you say? >> shortages on the hudson river and up into new england, they say inventories at 60% of five year average and northeast it's a fine line we're hoping there's not a shortage as long as production keeps going and if we make it and gets ragaini ellie cold, we're afraid new england and the whole northeast in general could have big troubles.

between walker and warnock and how that goes down, but if we were to put into motion here, stuart, kind of a what if scenario. what if this or what if that. here's where we believe based on power rankings we are today in the u.s. senate. we think republicans are solid in 49 and we think democrats are solid in 47. so what we did throughout the course of the last month in showing this a lot on the news side but this is what happens if democrats take all four of what we consider to be toss up seats. i'll go backwards for you one time, stuart. nevada, arizona, pa and georgia all in yellow, could be others that are toss ups right now based on polling and the amount of money spent, et cetera, these are the four legitimate toss up seats we think. if dems sweep them, may take control of 41. if republicans have a good night, you're here at 53 for republicans in the u.s. snout and maybe we have curve balls out here and maybe georgia goes to a runoff in the first week of

december. but if walker cannot hold on. you see how this number changes. also out here in arizona, maybe blake masters has a little bit of a struggle. maybe. don't know. what about pennsylvania, maybe fetterman has what it takes to get over the top and there we'd leave you with a 50/550 split in the senate yet again right to go back to where we started and gave nevada to the republicans for the sake of this little exercise here, stuart. what you can watch at the beginning of the night, okay, when you've got your tv on and you're home and comfortable with your family, what i would sa 7:00, virginia is closing and three districts too close to call. if you get republican strength in the three districts and one of three or two of three or three of three, you're going to ask yourself how high is the wave; right. we'll see about that. also in the house, indiana's got a slight time zone. the northwest, i know you love this and you love geography, i can see it shining in your face

right now, the northwest corner is central time zone. there's a race up here that went for biden by 8 points just two years ago. but both sides think it's too close to call. so it closes at 7:00 along with virginia, we hope they count fast and if they do, watch the margins in this race depending on the outcome there and also in virginia and on top of all that, stuart, i will tell you there is so much action in florida. stu: yes. >> house, senate, governor going to tell us a lot. enjoy the night, stuart. good to be with you. stu: it's going to be a long night, lad, and i'm going to bed by 8:00 and looking forward to the next morning. all eyes on the governor's race in new york as lee zeldin and governor kathy hochul are neck and neck. alexis mccannum in new york and hochul down playing crime

concerns. >> reporter: voters feel something in the streets and not nearly as safe and it's reality. as we talked to the voters they say crime is their top priority, listen. >> i think one of the big problems is when they arrest people, they can't do anything. if you talk to cops, that's what they tell you. even if they do put cops on the subways and such things, they can't make a difference because these -- it's a revolving door. >> reporter: governor kathy hochul knows crime is a issue in this race. the subway safety initiative and her opponent is trying to scare people. >> we have safe subways and stood with major adams talking about an intelligent plan. not to scare people in the state. that's over here. you can scare people but i'm working on a solution.

>> reporter: congressman lee zeldin has been talking about this since day one and tieing hochul's policies to the rise in crime across new york and wants to get the district attorney alvin bragg out of office because he's not doing his job and vowing to work with new york city mayor eric adams. >> we need to fight rising crime. he has asks with regards to given judge's discretion to dangerousness and wants to raise the age for bail. there's a lot for us to do to make streets and subways safer. >> reporter: we've been seeing a pretty steady stream of people coming in to vote today in the city's upper east side and expecting to see more people trickle in throughout the day and polls close tonight at 9:00. stuart. stu: thanks very much indeed. moving on, education is one of the tough issues driving suburban women to the polls. next we'll hear from a mother and former teacher about the real state of our public schools. more varney after this.

(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off.

golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist is -- stu: we're back we election day voter panel. i want to talk about another election issue driving voters to the polls and that's covid.

elected officials are doing and not doing. stu: do you think they stayed shut down do long? >> absolutely. the covid policies in new york city were very restrictive and went on for far longer than needed. stu: i have a problem with the teachers union. >> i do too now. stu: you have a problem with the teacher's union? >> i do. i was not aware of the kind of influence they have over our schools and what i saw through the pandemic was the closures were dictated by them, how many teachers and how often teachers went back to school, whether they even did zoom school was a big thing. i don't recollects now e it was about the union's first and kids second. stu: it's education that's turned you towards voting republican? >> absolutely. absolutely. stu: now i want to hear from one

more. you were fired from your teaching job in new york city because you would not get the vaccine. what have you been doing since you were fired? >> yes, i did not get to work in new york city from october of last year until just this april when i ventured and started my own tutoring online because i'm not allowed to work in person with children given that i did not adhere to the mandate. stu: you were just flat out fired and said no, i'm not getting the jab, you're gone. >> they put me on leave without pay but however -- stu: without pay? how long were a teacher before that? >> i've been a teacher for 19 years. with the doe for like 11 years. stu: for 11 years you were a teacher in new york city? >> yes. stu: then you refused to get the jab and you're out. >> yes. stu: and you can't go back. >> no because they gave me an official letter that i was fired in february. then the sad thing is that even

though when you're fired you're not allowed to, you know, work in the city at all because i live in new york city and mandate was there for public and private. stu: education is the issue that turns you on as a voter; correct? >> that and also i'm trying to preserve the freedoms of americans all over. i'm southeasting for lee zeldin and i campaigned for him. stu: excellent. thank you very much indeed. i want to take a moment and thank everyone on our panel today. you really did a great job and thank you so. for spending your time with us this morning. it's very much appreciated on this election day. we'll have more varney after this. ♪ . .
