stuart: 10:00 eastern, better get straight to the money because we got a selloff in progress, two fed governors, esther george and fred bullet, their comments are being interpreted that there will be no pivot by the fed. the market doesn't like it, dow jones down 280, nasdaq down 180. the yield is below the yield on the 2 year, that's called an inversion. that means a recession is coming. it predicts a recession. price of oil $83 a barrel. bitcoin again not doing much. has been at this level the best part of the week through the crisis. now this.

sam bankman-fried and his family were a powerful force in leftist politics, they bought influence on a grand scale. when your crypto wealth is counted in billions you can use it to make a big splash as sam's brother gabe said this year. the bankman-fried brother started a political action committee, protect our future which gave $27 million entirely to democrats. that included the maximum allowable contribution to hakeem jeffries who wants to lead democrat in the house if nancy pelosi retires and gave money to the every town gun safety victory fund. doesn't sound like a big second amendment outfit. brother gabe founded governing against pandemics which endorse democrat candidates who got money from protect our future. i call it a tangled web. mom and dad barbara and joseph bankman-fried are big donors and

organizers of leftist causes. barbara lead to secret group called mind the gap which brings money from big-name donors, then finals it out to democrat candidates and causes. we are talking millions of dollars here. joseph bankman-fried drafted tax legislation for senator elizabeth warren then promoted the legislation to his fellow professors, the influence runs deep. the democrats were only too willing to take the gobs of money sam bankman-fried was throwing at them. he seemed so pure, one of the affective all truism crowd where the goal is to make a lot of money to give it away to worthy causes. virtue signaling on steroids. when you are bought by a charlatan you only have yourself to blame. second hour of varney just getting started. stuart: i have to make a

correction. it is jim bullet at the fed. got your name wrong, sorry. been ben domenech is with me on the screen. should the democrats return the money from the bankman-fried family. >> thank you for saying that. sam bankman-fried has been a very obvious charlatan for quite some time. i think if you paid any attention to the kind of messaging he was sending and the whole effect of altruism line of argument that has been advanced by a number of people in the media many of whom as it turns out were either adjacent to or part of funding that came from these sources the question is whether we will demand any accountability from the politicians in question and certainly you can't trust politicians or the regulators involved who seem to be out of

touch when it comes to this stuff if they have the kind of compromise nature of taking this money at the same time they are expected to have the oversight we need of these new advanced approaches and i think unfortunately in this case there's going to be a lot of people who end up tangled in lawsuits and back-and-forth. stuart: it goes on for years, lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. that's the way it is. senator mitch mcconnell reelected as house minority leader, defendant senator rick scott, senator josh halley doesn't seem happy about it. >> if you like the status quo, keep doing what we have been doing but if you want to do something different, if you want to win we better do something different. i hope this is the beginning of a conversation, not the end of it. we haven't resolved anything. stuart: is this a generational dispute or policy dispute what

senate republicans are going to do? >> it is both. on the policy front there are a lot of younger senators who want to be more aggressive in advancing an agenda. regardless what you think of rick scott's agenda, it got a lot of flak from democrats, it was standing for something as opposed to just expecting voters to go out and pulled the lever for republicans just because they are republicans. we've seen time and again under mitch mcconnell's leadership that approach has not turned out well. it is the same approach they had in the georgia runoffs that are the reason they lost the senate last time. what halley's point wasn't rick scott's point is, essentially a dozen or so members of this conference, that things need to change not just in the generational leadership but the approach to leadership. this generation of leadership has been around for a long time, not just mitch mcconnell. we are hearing that nancy pelosi

is not going to stick around as speaker, is going to stick around in washington. she is 82 years old, 84 presumably by the time she leaves office. this is a generation of leadership that's clinging to power, white knuckling it to the end and it is unfortunate for a country that deserves to have leadership that matches with the concerns of most americans today. stuart: thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. i want our producers to check this report that nancy pelosi is staying around, no longer speaker but sticking around in congress. that's being announced right now. i will confirm it a little later. no fox confirmation yet but we are waiting on that. that will be a big deal if she's sticking around as a geriatric leadership of democrat in the house that sticks around. lauren: the majority leader, steny hoyer is 83, a trio democratic leadership, does that

mean they stick around when as we were discussing, there's a feeling among both parties that there is a need for new leadership and there's generational divides. blue one two republican senators called for an audit of senator rick scott. lauren: the blame game for the underperformance, senator scott is chair of the national republican senatorial committee, they raised $235 million this midterm cycle to help the party but there is an internal war might be too strong of wording but republicans are in this postmortem, what went wrong, two senators, blackburn and telus supporting an audit of the and rsc. how did you spend the money, why did you make the decisions you made, was it worth it? does it get paid? a little bit because senator scott says my predecessor messed up, he doled out too many bonuses after the last election so i was in a mess to begin with.

that is what some republicans are doing. stuart: let's get more on trump and his standing, what does bill bennett who has been on the show frequently think of trump's 2,020 one ounce and? lauren: he says trump should step aside, the country was in a great place when the former president was president but there are too many people who will not vote for donald trump and he continues, i don't want to see trump running be defeated which i think would happen. he ran a great country, he's got a great legacy in that, embrace that, step aside. he is joining the chorus saying trump cost republicans, georgia last year, bill bennett was talking about that, the runoff is in december. stuart: split decision on donald trump. back to the markets, down 250 on the dow industrials, down one hundred 35 on the nasdaq what the market coming back a little. it was worse before this. sarah, should we trust the

recent rally. it's not rallying today, should we trust it? >> reporter: spare today and yesterday, the rally we've seen the past month has been really impressive to say the least and when you think about why we've seen such a turn to the upside it really has been because of this inflation data, the ppi and ppi as well as more dovish from the federal reserve and as you mentioned earlier in the program we are seeing a change in tone, we still believe investors need to be vigilant because of you think the impetus the reason we've seen such a forceful rally is it is possible it could be simply due to fear of missing out on the part of fast-moving institutional investors, they have been stepping away for a large part of this year and are

judged by the euro numbers so they can be scared that if there is a year end rally if they don't step into this market their numbers won't look so great but at the end of the day when you consider the fact recession risk is still high, inflation may be the last couple data points cooler than expected, inflation is still very high and the federal reserve is raising interest rates, just a reason for investors to remain on their toes and expect more volatility. stuart: remain on your toes and expect volatility ahead. so no big time santa claus rally? >> not to say there might not be a santa claus rally. the end of the year especially after a midterm is typically seasonally a good time for markets but that's not to say that if we do see a santa claus rally everyone wants to be happy during the holidays but that's not to say that means we have a green light and have seen the all clear because it is very possible if you look at the

trend we've seen in the fourth quarter, the average gain on updates for the s&p, on average we've seen again of more than 2% on days in which the market is green but if you look at days the market is down we've seen on average a decline of one% or so, so more than double to the upside so right now seems investors do want to be optimistic, we might see the market rally more so on good news than we see it fall on bad news but there's still a good amount to be concerned about. stuart: let's see some good news, let's see what happens, thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. the movers, this is what we do every day, check those that are really moving, look at macy's up 12%. lauren: these are outsize gains. they raised their annual profit outlook, find, but what are we seeing and what are they saying? we are seeing a bifurcation of retail, macy's customer is typically wealthier, so they feel inflation less or trade

down to walmart, not trading down to coals, that's not what companies are telling us but they do feel inflation, macy's has cut card use is up and management also say that spec shoppers to be tapped out by the first quarter of the new year because they have depleted their savings and their ability to keep it. stuart: never quite certain about the ranking of department stores, macy's is above calls? lauren: and also bloomingdale's. stuart: and nordstrom on top of everybody? lauren: i would say newman marcus his on top of everybody. we were needless markup? lauren: sax perhaps. they are right down there on fifth avenue. stuart: check out roku moving down 3%. lauren: they have a plan to cut 200 jobs in the us. cost cutting -cutting usually helps the stock but not today. stuart: the cruise lines. norwegian cruise lines. cruising or not? we are not cruising. lauren: credits we says we

prefer royal caribbean, norwegian costs are not going down in a meaningful way so they doubled downgraded them, slap them with a $14 price target down from 20. stuart: thank goodness you and i are not running a cruise line. i would not do very well. speaker pelosi getting ready to announce her future plans after democrats lost their majority in the house. realty step aside and let a new generation takeover? democrats push people to start voting a month before election day. deroy murdoch says early voting violates the constitution 80 wants to get rid of it entirely. donald trump is an ardent critic of the governor of georgia brian kemp. now the two are throwing their support behind herschel walker as he heads towards runoff against incumbent rafael warnock. the latest on that from atlanta next. ♪

he's yet to announce any plans to campaign here in georgia but he has reinjected himself into the senate campaign just minutes after announcing a second bid for the white house, he urged his georgia supporters to vote for football legend herschel walker who faces a december 6th runoff against rafael warnock. hours before the announcement warnock had this to say about the former president. >> we know that he's well practiced in the politics of division and my opponent is his acolyte. >> reporter: after losing georgia in the general election donald trump campaigned for republican senators david perdue and kelly leffler who went on to lose their runoff elections to democrats the following january, trump recruited perdue turn against brian kemp after he blocked the former president's efforts to overturn the election results in georgia.

there. look who is here now. deroy murdoch wants to get rid of early voting entirely. before you launch, what does that mean? get rid of mail-order ballots, absentee ballots, early voting before the actual day, get rid of it all? >> with the exception of people who are sick or infirm or absent on election day, they should apply for absentee ballots. other than that we should follow federal law. there are two us code section 3 and section one that say the election day for picking levers of congress and electors, first tuesday after the first monday in november. nothing about october or september or starting to vote right after labor day. in pennsylvania they were voting for 50 days, they were voting for senator 39 days before they had their first debate, and that that is ridiculous. stuart: but early voting came

out of the pandemic. that is what happened. i voted early. it's very easy. i can't see it going away. >> it is easy, we had a pandemic, that's largely behind us. by 2024 complete we behind us. somehow democrats are able to get people, lbj, jimmy carter, elected with the old rules, people showed up on election day and voted on election day. it's not a giant racist or public and plot. stuart: is there any political party or political leader who says get rid of early voting, get rid of mail in ballots? >> i'm saying at and more people should. it is federal law, this isn't just -- first tuesday after first monday isn't just a cool habit or interesting custom, two federal statute say this and it involves 14th amendment equal protection of ballots, people voting different times in different places, i think it's unconstitutional on the basis of fourteenth amend been in the gop out to lawyer up and go fight this in federal court. stuart: i want to talk about

this develop and in georgia. governor kemp has gone out to campaign with herschel walker. kemp was beaten up by trump, herschel walker is trump's guy. is this a getting together of the two sides and what do you think it does? >> i think uppsala people voted for kemp in georgia in huge numbers so he will take his glow and put it on herschel walker. i think mcconnell -- mitch mcconnell and blewitt by holding the leadership vote before herschel walker had a chance to vote. didn't send a signal that he's going to win, wait till he gets here, he's not going to win so let's vote early. another failure of leadership on the part of mitch mcconnell, sorry to see him return as senate gop leader. stuart: you made your point. thank you, see you again soon. speaker pelosi is going to announce her plans for the future. could this happen any moment? lauren: any moment. let me tell you what her spokesperson said, she took him 2 versions of her speech last night. she was waiting to see the outcome of the house races, if

year ago. mortgage rates rising at their fastest rate on record this year. today the number at 7. 08%, these are freddie mac numbers we will update at noon and incomes have not kept up. listen. >> income needed to buy home is well above what median income is in this country and that means you have to be part of the upper-class to afford a home now and previously homeownership was seen as a way to enter into the upper-class, now you have to already be there to afford that home. >> 45 cities have entered the hundred grand club lose the areas affected here, many metro areas in florida, leading the list, between tampa and fort myers buyers need $131 annually

to afford the typical monthly payment of $3,200, 73% spike from last year. other florida cities on most, miami, tampa, west palm beach, chicago and the bay area have the smallest upticks in income necessary to afford a home. the study is assuming you use no more than 30% of your income for your mortgage and that is typical, what lenders want you to do but that is baked in the cake. stuart: homebuilder sentiment plunged in the latest reading to its lowest point since 2012, 10 years ago. gerri howard is ceo of nahb and joins me in new york, good to see you in new york. do you see any sign of a turnaround in the housing market at all? >> none whatsoever. i can't think of a single market in the country when i'm talking to builders they are telling me they are gung ho and looking forward to the spring building season. stuart: not expecting any

turnaround with 7% plus mortgage rate. >> higher interest rates for the consumer and the builder and the supply chain, regulatory burdens are increasing. stuart: increasing? >> the administration reinstated a lot of regulatory concerns the trump administration had done away with. stuart: you are getting the blame for the failure of our society to build enough affordable housing but i don't think the blame lies with the homebuilders, in my opinion it lies with the permit people at the state and federal level. >> homebuilders will build for whatever market they can afford to build in and almost no market in this country can homebuilder build a house that is affordable for a first-time homebuyer, hence the story gerri willis just talked about. we can't do it, the costs that are on us make it impossible so rather than do that they build higher end stuff or they build multifamily because they know people aren't going to be moving

into homeownership anytime soon. stuart: you can't change the regulations. the lawyers will be all over you. every time you guys want to build something the lawyers step in and hold it up forever. i'm not on an anti-lawyer g hard but i don't think the system is working. stuart: the system is a problem and in some places over regulating the home building industry has been one of the primary strategies of the no growth movement, the environmental zealots and we go in and try to build a house and they find more than a dozen reasons why we shouldn't be able to. the worst-case scenario is in massachusetts and in hawaii where from the time you and i decide we are going to put a shovel in the ground and build a house it can take over 10 years. blue one 10 years? is that true single-family homes and multi--- >> siegal family in particular. stuart: 10 years in hawaiian massachusetts. what it like in california? >> i don't know that number but

in san diego county, 50% of the cost of building a house is in regulatory compliance. we when i've got to leave it there, wish i could talk more but that is astonishing. the housing shortage, we can't make the way clear to build more houses. shocking thing. glad you pointed out for us, we appreciate it. lahren is chiming in, shocking indeed. rent caps on affordable housing on the ballot in some states. lauren: people get so mad about the cost of rents they are taking it out at the ballot box going to -- still going up but will go up below the level of inflation in these cases, portland, maine, california which, santa monica. stuart: shaking his head because this is impossible. lauren: it will be capped at a 3% increase what is going up but not as high as inflation at 8%. >> they are losing money trying
