kelly o'grady is live at the course in wilmington delaware. kelly, look. lawyers say ftx has more cash than they ever imagined when they looked at the books and saw this was a disaster but clearly not enough to satisfy creditors? reporter: yeah, that's right, lauren. the numbers they quoted was 1.24 billion but that's not nearly enough when you owe your top 50 creditors a loan over 3.1 billion. not to mention the rest of the million that they also have to think about. now today's bankruptcy hearings kicked off and the way that i would characterize it is the central challenge they framed up is bringing order to disorder in the world of ftx. now one lawyer sharing "what we're dealing with is a different sort of animal. unfortunately the ftx debtors were not particularly well-run and that is an understatement" and we were there as the lawyers left the court within the last hour, responding no comment to our questions, after a number of

revelations came out of today's hearing. now first, you mentioned those stolen assets. they are saying that a substantial amount is missing, fatality ftx sharing they are continue together fight off cyberattacks since the day filed for bankruptcy and lawyers also revealing ftx is in constant communication with the justice department and the cybercrimes unit of the new york u.s. attorney' office has opened a criminal investigation. the second one i want to highlight is that ftx customer data will continue to be redacted, including that of the top 50 creditors while representatives of the u.s. trustees office argued for full transparencies, the judge did rule in favor of ftx, that it will be revisited at a december 16 court hearing and finally, as sam bankman-fried hides out in the bahamas, we're learning where some of those billions of dollars went. liquidate or s did agree to con solemn the two bankruptcy cases in delaware today but admitting they are still holding on to assets they directed the former ceo to transfer, without authorization and even more wild

, you know those mansions and those yachts in the bahamas? well ftx lawyers revealed today that 300 million in company funds were used to purchase personal real estate so no wonder there are calls for when is this guy going to be extradited back to the u.s.. there do need to be charges filed and legal experts are telling me it could take sometime because folks want to build an airtight case to make sure those aren't thrown out, lauren, if and when he is brought back to the united states. lauren: this is just in credible kelly o'grady the dram that i feel came from that courtroom in your reporting really is something else. we appreciate it, thank you, very much. we have a fox market alert for you. disney shares on watch following that sudden storybook shakeup at the entertainment giant, that dropped on sunday night. look, the stock showed some magic yesterday, it gained 6%. today is a different story. yesterday's gains on news that the former ceo bob iger is the new ceo, making a surprise return from retirement.

he even seemed surprised by it. to replace bob chapek as ceo. that was effective immediately. it was news investors, hollywood , disney fans, all cheered but today, disney shares in reverse, they are down 1.7% as further restructuring efforts begin to take effect. first, kareem daniel, the company's media and entertainment head, is the first to go. disney's hardly the only company making changes. elon musk reportedly recruiting new engineers for sales teams in the new hard core twitter 2.0, that saw mass resignations and layoffs since this deal closed. that was october 28. out with the old, in with the new. twitter is a new company and value is new, when it comes to retail. pretty strong retail earnings helping to lift the dow, the s&p , and the nasdaq today. they are all in rally mode. the dow is up 387 points right now.

then there's best buy. they maintain their holiday quarter outlook. they say they are managing inflation and the stock is up double-digits, 78.87 a share a gain of $8. dick's sporting goods handing in a better-than-expected quarterly report card when you look at profit as well as revenue. the ceo, lauren hobart says the company is taking a more surgical approach to the holiday season and they are focusing on promoting specific products with an eye towards what athletes want. dick's sporting goods up 9% and you can really see this one week chart, how much the stock has advanced, and one of the biggest movers of the day, this tuesday, of thanksgiving week, abercrombie & fitch, do you guys remember them? they are up a whopping what is that 19.5%? strong revenue and surprise. they reported a quarterly profit it was a penny but it was a profit and unexpected.

the gains today just as strong as the cologne in the stores, remember that? i used to say, can you please turn the lights on so i can see what it is you're selling? okay, that's today. tomorrow, that brings the data. the real data. the economic reports we get initial jobless claims, new home sales, manufacturing number s. the minutes from the last fed meeting, and just when you thought it was time to go into holiday mode, maybe shut off a little bit, we're telling you not yet, and we take that to the floor show we have our trader scott bauer and steven sarge guilfoyle joining us this tuesday. scott let me begin with you. it seems like it feels like this markets on cruise control. do you think investors potentially are missing a big catalyst? pick the catalyst. could it be this rail strike which could juice inflation, the opec meeting in earlier december, what do you think, scott? >> i think there are so many things out there that at any

one-time, literally, any second of the day, can derail what's going on right now. i'm not saying that's going to happen. you've got those two things you just mentioned about. you've got a diesel shortage. you've got all of these economic reports coming backup and oh, yeah we still have the fed. people still expecting a pivot from the fed, that they are going to come out and just raise 75 basis points again, but that they may say okay, that's it for the extreme hikes. we're going to start tapering those down. now, again, i'm not saying any of those will happen, but there is certainly a lot out there that at any one time can happen, and then there is still the ongoing war in ukraine and russia, which we know has impacted economies throughout the world, so i'm not trying to be gloom and doom here especially with the holidays. the rally is nice. i do think that we can go higher into the end of the year here, but i think especially with where the vix is now, lauren, it's the lowest its been in six

months here. there's no reason, absolutely no reason in my opinion, for an investor not to buy a little bit of protection if you want to stay in this market through the end of the year. lauren: that's why i brought up cruise control. i was thinking of the vix and just this complacency that seems to be forming. guys bring backup whether you want to do the nasdaq losers or the s&p 500 losers because both of those charts have the same stock this number one, and that is dollar tree. i bring it up because scott, you as well as sarge, both like it. sarge, you first. why do you like dollar tree and why is it down so much today, nearly 8%. la[lr]llus s v., tne i lo othsu aeatie g thgo bcen ni c tegonteowwe oc13 one lathf eabao efe en soleettst

consumables. and there's not a big profit margin on consumables, so dollar tree is in the right space at the right time in an economic downturn but their profit margin s get rid because they aren't making much money on the consumables that they sell. rtrtrtrtctctctgogogogogo a a a o g g gaiaiaiaiaiaiaickckckckckce reeeeeeeeeee s s s ss s s ththte thththththththakakakakakr r r r. ovovovdododododorerereres sell-off here, and sarge, i've got to ask you a question. when is the last time you were

in abercrombie & fitch and spray ed that cologne all over? >> i have not been since i had to buy presents for my wife when she could wear those clothes. lauren: [laughter] honestly i think it might have been the 90s. one quick one for you, sarge. i want to get you back in here. zoom became part of our lexicon during the pandemic and that was the last time that the stock was trading at the high levels it's down 90% since october of 2020. they reported today. sarge what's your take on zoom? ss abisnylehegepud ou iwiru a . a alett oue t ree ioomalo poitalk he d

lauren: honey a shrunk the toys, mg axe entertainment one of the large its and fastest growing privately held toy and entertainment companies is expanding its miniverse of toys launching 200 miniature versions of its full-size toys and they are expected to hit the market next month, all selling for under $10. mga brands include little tykes , lol surprise, brat s and rainbow high, you know

them all. you've bought them all and you might continue to do so. keep in mind the retail has become really a mix of which company answers inflation best for its customers. its been particularly hard for mga's publicly traded rival s so you can see here both hasbro and mattel struggling recently but look nice gains today. mattel is up 5%. hasbro at 60.80 is higher today but hovering near its 52-week low, and you can see that in that chart right there. so we ask, what is mga doing differently? izaac larian is the ceo joining us now. is this shrink-flation, or something a little bit different? >> hi, good morning. lauren: good morning. did you just say good morning? >> somewhere in the world it's good morning. lauren: good afternoon here. >> so thank you, thank you for having me.

at mga we noticed the inflation coming early on so we have developed over 200 toys below $ 10. this is one of them. this is going to be one of the hottest toys ever. lauren: is that, what is that? >> okay, so this is basically, i don't know if you know about the food craze that goes on. i don't know if you can see these in the camera, and you can make different foods, miniature foods and dry in the sun and collect them. this is a big craze, it's going to be at walmart on december 5. lauren: how much? >> under $10. we have this one here which is $ 10. lauren: yup. this one here is $7. lauren: okay. >> so it's a big deal. so yes, mini is the way to go because kids and adults are buying them. our iconic bratz, we have literally replicated the

originals to many bratz and these are $10 and we even have mini cross cosmetics. so i don't know if you can see it. they are real. i put my eye shadow on. lauren: [laughter] when did you say or you said early on you thought mini was the answer to inflation define early on? because i'm imagining the supply chain is still difficult, you got to get the items here. what's early on and did you make it? >> okay, so we noticed this trend early in january, with the inflation 23% our costs went up 23%, so we said okay, there's going to be an inflation , there's going to be a recession, because consumer s are going to be stretched but every parent and grandparent, gift-giver needs to put a toy under the christmas tree, so why don't we come up

with a whole line of toys below $10, and give them the opportunity to bring that gift home, and we have seen early success. i mean, this mini surprise, which is in collaboration with hersheys and pez, and other companies, is selling out, if you go to walmart, target, amazon, it's selling out like crazy, so we have noticed a craze and the consumer who is stretched and these toys i think is going to help them. over 200 toys under $10. lauren: you should make a crystal ball because if you predicted this , back in january , i'd buy your crystal ball. you were right on, sir, but i guess you saw it. you said your own costs were up 23%. i remember, it was a few holiday s ago, the joy or the surprise of the lol surprise doll with the

physical unwrapping of all the parts. as a parent i thought it was the most annoying thing because i had to help and then clean-up but that's what the kids loved. what do they love about the mini toys? >> on the mini food, the beauty of it is all first of all the element of surprise is still there, but you make basically an activity toy, lets you create your own toy, when you make a pizza and i make a pizza, it looks very different, when it's done and over with, so it also takes care of fidgeting because a lot of kids are fidgeting. it's a great toy. it takes 20-25 minutes of play for a little kid to do that. believe it or not, adults are doing it. one of our buyer's mother whose 80 years old we sent her some samples and she got addicted to these and she's cooking all of these mini foods on a daily

basis. lauren: that's so cute. i don't think my kids could sit for 20 minutes though, maybe 10, maybe. >> they will try it. lauren: where are your factories >> we are in china, and we have the largest toy factory in the usa that makes l'il tykes, and we have those minis also so you open these and you decide. lauren: how is it going in china now though? they are still doing covid-zero, a fifth of the chinese economy is currently impacted by lockdown, and covid-zero policies. has that impacted your ability to get things there, to here, when you want them, for the cost that you want them? >> well two things. first of all, yes, covid, zero- covid policy in china is frankly very annoying, and because covid is coming to china after everything that they have done, but the supply chain had

gotten a lot better. last year, this time, we were paying $22,000 for containers to l.a. and it would take 60 days to get here. now we're back to the levels of $2,500 per container and it takes about 20 days to get here so things are getting better in the supply chain but definitely the recession, the inflation, is going to be here for a while. it's not transitory. it's going to be here even though the interests is going up my prediction is that the inflation is going to be with us for the next five or six years. lauren: that's your crystal ball , inflation is going to be with us for five-to-six years even though if i'm quoting you correct, the cost for you to get a container went from $20,000 last christmas to $2,500 this christmas? >> yes, that's correct. but that's only one element. the cost of labor is up.

the cost of, you see the oil prices up through the roof and we buy rezin, the cost of plastic is up, the cost of energy is up, thanks to russian war. everything else is up, so yes. it's never going to, i don't think it's going to go to 2% for the next five or six years. it'll maybe drop to six or 7%. lauren: izaac that's the music we have to go. dire forecast but we do appreciate it. we also have a national rail strike, threatening to play grinch and we'll go straight to the white house for the latest on this potential strike that could absolutely cripple the supply chain. the timing could not be worse. markets still up, dow up 388, "clayman countdown" coming right back.

have impersonators, cybersecurity anxiety, should twitter users also flee the nest like half of the engineers apparently have? we have that question to the ceo of cybersecurity company shark tank star robert hershevek. robert, thank you. fox business exclusive we should mention that. i always like talking to you. what do you make of what musk is doing? >> it's a crazy time there. the blue tick thing amazes me, because i always think it's the old saying, any club i can get into isn't that exclusive, and so the problem with the blue tick mark is anybody can pay their way there. lauren: right. >> i think he's going to struggle that. am i paying money now to be verified? i don't know who people are. lauren: but the advertisers have left. >> the advertisers have left. lauren: so he needs revenue and subscription equals revenue. >> but lauren, how many verifications you need to sell? i think elon is a really smart guy and i have a lot of faith he will figure it out and this is a

that, the boring company, spacex lauren: twitter. >> there's a lot of stuff there from a security perspective, we don't really worry about the security of twitter. i mean, i think -- lauren: so you're not worried? >> i think when your security team leaves there's definitely a big gaping hole for the security of twitter but if we look at it we don't have a lot of personal information on twitter. you don't have your credit cards you don't have your health records. twitter is more a psychological call issue than it is a security issue because the big issue with twitter is impersonation and bot s. lauren: yeah. >> that's the big issue and they are trying to do influence so for us it's more of a psychological issue. how many of those users are actually real and verified and how are they influencing you and me and politicians and everyone else. lauren: that's what he's trying to figure out and we wish him well because that's a quest i think a lot of people want to see financiers expose the algorithms and show america

what you're being fed and why. >> but i think the one thing that i have a lot of faith in is i get my news off twitter. most people today -- lauren: you're confident in saying that? >> i am confident in saying that and that's the great unlocked value of twitter and elon is a really smart guy. think about it. how many of us go to twitter to get information as opposed to a newspaper or someone else? now, a lot of it isn't real, and it's bots, but you've got to filter that. i have a lot of faith in it. lauren: the cyber risk index, from trend macro, finds that 32% of global businesses have suffered a cybersecurity breach this year. a third. i think that seems low. >> yeah, you and i were talking i do think it's low too. lauren, it's interesting. there's a law right now going through the senate that starting next year, all public companies in the united states will have to disclose a breach within four days of being breached. we worry about that at sicyderes

, because most companies aren't in a position to know they are breached. the average enterprise when they do have a compromise has been breached from three-to-six months and when you get really bad data and people steal a lot of stuff it's because they are getting in your system for a long time. lauren: that's astonishing. robert herjavec, thank you very much for coming on. that makes me nervous especially with all of the fraud that we see over the holidays. we're up against a hard break and we'll be back with the "clayman countdown" right after this.

will throw into streaming although, he was the guy, he was the sort of creator of the streaming strategy that chapek kind of took over. it is still not bearing any fruit. clearly he has to improve the stock price down about 60% over the past year. one way you do that is to cut costs. the other way, you can without cutting costs without firing people, cutting costs is getting rid of non-core assets. what are those non-core assets they can get rid of? espn is at the top of the list. dan loeb has been pushing for it for a while. third point activist investor fund. they initially put that on the table. dan backed off in terms of his dealings with disney. i'm sure that will be bag on the table. thatthat is a clear outlyer to r strategy. the other one is abc? do they need abc with disney? i don't know, is there synergies with the disney streaming

products? maybe, maybe not. that is all the things they will have to look at because the journal had a good summation of chapek's demise. some of it is the woke stuff. no doubt that he missed that boat and he misjudged the mood of the country, implementing same sex kissing scenes into buzz lightyear. how much it turned off people. then he misjudged the strength of sanity san won ron desantis went toe-to-toe with disney and won. they lost a huge tax break. i think eiger will roll back some of that woke stuff. >> he is better with people. better with talent. better with that personal -- >> if the numbers are not working they're not working. this is a problem. that is why people are talking about them selling stuff. there is always the overhang and you know we talked about it

yesterday, joe of the wrap put something else out today, could they be sold? who would buy it? lauren: yes. >> listen, i heard the name. he heard the name, apple. it is one company that has the money and has the size and the balance sheet. now, i don't think apple wants to run a theme park, an amusement park. i don't think they will want to run disney world. lauren: i think iger has too much pride. >> i don't think so, all these guys well sell their souls for shareholder value knowing the way i know all these guys and he will backtrack on wokeness if the stock goes up in a second. but apple, my guess is, if apple is going to buy anything they will want to buy espn and some of the -- lauren: parts of in a slimming down. >> some of the content properties that they have. i mean i think that is where it is going. bankers are talking about this but you know, he is only three days into the job.

we'll see. lauren: bankers are talking to you. eventually they will say who they think the new iger will be when his term is done. >> two years, right? lauren: are they talking about any names to eventually replace iger who replace the chapek? another bob? >> one thing i know you want to wrap me here. chapek had no suck section plan. that is one of the problems. iger will have to get a succession plan going. from a corporate standpoint, say he goes, who comes in now? you really need something going and you know, i'm not an expert at this business but i'm sure there is capable people out there you know. lauren: charlie, thank you. >> jamie dimon maybe? you think jamie would want to run a studio. lauren: jamie dimon is good at whatever he touches. three minutes before the closing bell. thanksgiving week.

the volume low. up almost 400 points. we have will rines. will, are we on cruise control or you see another shoe potentially dropping that can take us off this rally? >> i think it's a probably a little bit of thanksgiving week. lighter volumes you see outsized movements with penetrating volume. i think another shoe could drop. what is positive today, retailers, market are a bit nervous about reported good results. but when you look at companies like abercrombie, companies like best buy, is it really function of them selling more stuff, but as everybody knows prices have gone up. therefore their revenues have gone up? i think we think about continued interest rate rises into next year could well see earnings coming down. lauren: keeping more than half of money in stocks and the rest in fixed income is known as 60/40 portfolio right?

it is the gold standard of investing. according to the leuthold mix is now on track for the worst year since 1937. why do you think that is and gold is up, i think still up today, first time in four days? >> yeah. so it's really a combination of two things which, you know, just have not worked. normally the whole point in having some ballast to a equity portfolio, putting fixed income in there, that provides some ballast for returns when equities are down but that has not worked because of rising interest rates and inflation. gold has performed today certainly on a relative basis versus stocks and bonds, despite the fact we had incredibly strong dollar environment which is typically very negative for fold. gold. since of the end of october, it looks like dollar peak and it

may have rallied off that. lauren: we had the ceo of mgm entertainment, he said inflation will be a problem for five to six years. 15 seconds, what do you make of the next earnings season? do you think we'll see things get really bad in the coming, in the new earnings season? >> i think it is probably a still bit too early because a lot of this is very lagging. so far companies have muddled their way through. clearly technology companies have been hit hardest. [closing bell rings] i think a couple more quarters before we see a negative impact in the earnings numbers. lauren: thank you very much. the dow closing at the highs since august 16th. that will do it for "the claman countdown." ♪. larry: hello, folks, welcome to "kudlow," i'm larry kudlow. so i know we're coming into thanksgiving and it is truly one of my favorite holidays an
