>> i think this is a real, real possibility, a greater possibility than before the election that joe biden will make that decision with his family that he's going to run again. if you take joe biden out of it, who do they turn to? it's hard to see what direction

they'd turn to. >> i think that santa rally as we get closer to the end of the year. i think we're going to end between 4000-4900 -- 4100 on the s&p. >> we wail have a railroad -- we actually have a record of people working and making a record income and spending a record amount for the holidays. >> a lot of retailers had black friday sales in july, so i think we're going to be pretty disaappointed by the actual sales. it's not going to actually increase sales. ♪ ♪ it's friday, i'm in love ♪ ashley: all right.

how about a little cure for this friday morning? black friday? there you go. "friday, i'm in love." it's 11 a.m. on the east coast on this friday, november 25th. i'm ashley webster in today for stuart varney. let's take a look at the markets. it's a shorter sessioned today. the equity markets close at 1 p.m. eastern time today. the bond market an hour later. what trading we've had, we've seen the dow move higher, up 15 # points. the nasdaq down about a quarter of a percent. let's take a look at the big tech names, we always, of course, like to keep track of those. most of them are moving lower except for microsoft which is up a very modest tenth of a percent. but amazon, alphabet, meta platforms, apple all moving lower. apple's been town about 2% in today's session at $148.20. let's take a look at the treasury yield with, edging up ever so slightly. 2.6 basis points at 3.72.

and once again if you look at the inversion between the 2-year and the 10-year, the 2-year's way up there. in fact, the difference, the inverted gap, if if you like -- and i don't want to get too wonky here -- is the most it's been in 22 years which could small a recession. anyway, let's move on. take a look at this, florida added 36,000 jobs during the month of october. its private sector saw 35,000 jobs added. that, by the way, makes it the 30th consecutive month of job gains for the state. pretty darn impressive. congress byron donalds joins me now. congressman, florida is showing economic resiliency, i think that's the best way to put it, despite the effects of hurricane ian, nicole. how is your state doing it? >> well, a couple things. you know, hurricanes were devastating to some of our areas, but our economic climate continues to be the soundest in the country. if number one, we actually have

pretty good, consistent regulatory policies in our state. obviously, we're a destination sate. number three -- state, number three and most importantly, there is a consistency in how we govern. and so business owners when they move here, they know there's not going to be a shifting in governmental, economic regulatory policies that are going to create issues. we are consistent in florida, have been that way for quite some time. that's why our economy continues to grow and live even with some of the imbalances across the rest of the united states. ashley: and, you know, bottom line is it's working, and i think that's why you've seen the population grow so quickly. and those people escaping blue states where they come here and say, wait a minute, the taxes are considerably lower, and it's a very business-friendly environment. >> oh, yeah, 100%. first of all, no state income tax. i know my former colleagues in the state legislature and our current governor, we're not creating an income tax in

florida. that's just not on the table, not in the cards. nurple two, we don't have really terrible environmental policies. like, compare us to california with the environmental policies, number one, are insane and, number two, they try to change them and outdo each other every legislative session. that doesn't happen here. and also we have a port system, you can get to anywhere around the world. it's a really great environment for doing business, for raising your families and also retiring. that's why our state continues to grow like it does. ashley: it really does. let's move on, congressman. former vice president mike pence is building up his political staff. it's the latest indication that perhaps he is preparing to run in 2024. do you think pence would make a good candidate? pleasure. >> look, i think, obviously, mike pence has been in the game a long time, former vice president to the united states. i think he would make a good candidate. look, i always feel competition is healthy, so it appears that he's gearing up. we'll see what happens with the

rest of the field, in the rest of field materializes. there's going to be a lot of conversations between now and then, but let me be very clear, donald trump's till -- still the leader in the clubhouse. as it stands today and probably for quite some time, he's the number one guy seeking the nomination. pleasure. [laughter] ashley: ah, those on the other side, byron, will say, well, it just shows the republican party is split between, you know, donald trump supporters and perhaps people who are a little more moderate. what would you say? >> i would say the other side of the aisle needs to mind hair own business. let's -- their own business. let's be very clear -- [laughter] for republican voters and even independent voters, heir going to hate the republican nominee no matter who that person is. so for all the people saying there's too much baggage, get that out your mind. there was bush derangement syndrome. remember what they did to mitt romney. the democrats are not going to like our nominee, so i don't get into that kind of stuff.

whoever's running for the white house, obviously, donald trump is running, just demonstrate what your agenda is. we already know what it is from if donald trump, what he's going to do. just demonstrate what your agenda is and see if republican voters support it. that's it. ashley: all right. now on the other side of the coin, president biden apparently is planning to use the holiday break to decide if he wants to run for president in 2024. what's your reaction to that? >> first of all, i would say that if he's going to run for president again, as a republican, oh, please. bring it on. like, i'm excited about that one. [laughter] because he's been by far the worst president the country has seen in a hundred years, and if i sit down and audiocassette to real historians -- talk to real historians, he's probably the worst president we've ever had. number two, i think that in terms of the democrat party, and i'm going to give the democrats some free advice. this is what happens when you don't embrace term limits, when you don't have changeovers in

leadership. you get steal. they have -- stale. they have a very thin bench. who else are they going to run, gavin newsom, kamala harris, pete buttigieg? come on. he's going to make that decision with his family, we see where he goes from there. i actually do hope that his health is okay, because nobody wants anybody to be ill or sickly, have their health fail hem. it's something that's a tragedy for everybody. i hope his health is well, but when it comes to politics, the man must be defeated. he's a herbal president. ash -- terrible president. ashley: well, we'll leave it right there. fired up today, congressman byron donalds. we really do appreciate your time. thank you so much, congressman, appreciate it. all right, let's get back to the markets, whey -- why don't we? trading is very light, as you'd expect on a shortened session. let's bring in jonathanen hoenig. great to see you, jonathan. pleasure let me ask you the same question i asked peter morici

earlier, do you think inflation has peaked? >> i don't think prices have peaked, ashley, not at all. prices for almost everything are up this holiday season. we're feeling it as consumers. they're not up for gold and silver. in fact, gold and silver, ashley, have to rise either. 75% for gold or 500% the for silver to get back to their all-time highs. i'm always looking off the radar screen, and i'm looking at gold and silver for my clients at a capitalist pig this week because those are places, i think, to make money to beat the inflation that hasn't ebbed yet. ashley: you bring up a good point, because gold is always seen as the hedge against inflation, but it doesn't seem to be as strong a case as it used to be, why is that? >> you have to look over the longer term, and over the longer term there really has been no better bet than inflation. one of the reasons gold has been so sub subdued is that the dollar has been so strong.

that trend is changing. gold index, hui, is up about 18% in in the last month. you never want to be investing in all or none. people tend to kind of get all or noun like that, but as one part of a portfolio, i think gold or silver make great sense right now especially since people, in my opinion, need to diversify away from apple, netflix, facebook, those are the last bull market stocks. i'm i think gold and silver are the place to be. ashley: we've talked today quite a bit about big tech names. the job layoffs, stuff going on at amazon. do you still like big tech and, you know, obviously, they get down to certain levels, they must be attractive to buy some. >> do i still like -- ashley, i was on this show a year ago talking about the shorting apple at 155 and $160 a share. i've been against big tech for quite some time, and i think

they're great companies, but i think they are terrible stocks. no offense, but think of the history. the big tech peaked in 2000, ashley, they only started laying people off in 2001, and then most of those stocks -- oracle, cisco -- they were dead money for 10 years. ashley: very good. we'll is have to leave it there. jonathan hoenig says take a look at gold and silver. thank you, jonathan, really appreciate it. >> be well, ashley. ashley: thank you. we've got some market movers. we'll begin with home depot and 3m. home depot up 2%, up 1% for 3m. now let's take a look at lucid motors. they just opened their first retail studio location in texas. it marks the company's 29th location in north america. it's their 32nd worldwide with. up slightly today. let's take a look at manchester united. i never thought i'd say that, show me man-u. shares in the club are surging -- no, they're not, that's home depot -- take that

my work for it, man-u shares are surging after reports that the glaeser family, much-hated by man-u fans, looking to sell the premier soccer league, and all sorts of people lining up maybe in a bid to buy it. bed bath & beyond struggling to keep its stores stocked ahead of the holiday season. more than 40% of the retailer's products were out of stock in october. that is not good. a spokeswoman said that the company is working with suppliers to insure that customers have access to an assortment of brands. that's from bed bath and beyond. all right, now this: ford is recalling hundreds of thousands of suv. it comes after nearly two dozen vehicles caught on fire. that's not good news. we're on that story. remember the climate activist, meantime, who threw soup at precious works of art, those idiots. members of that that same group just glued themselves to an airport runway.

maybe we'll leave them there. we've got the story. plus, solar-powered electric cars coming to the u.s., a company will start production in california next year. the founder and ceo joins me next. ♪ i'm gonna soak up the sun, i'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up ♪

sun may break through later this afternoon in new york city. right now it's 50 years -- degrees and a little drizzly, rainy, but it could and should improve. now this. aptera motors, a california-based car company that's showing off their new two-setter electric vehicles with built-in solar panels. he can harness the sun's energy and add more than 15 miles to a car's range on a clear day. the cofounder and ceo of aptera motors joins me now. steve, great to see you. i guess my question to begin with, are solar evs the next generation of eco-friendly cars? >> i absolutely think so, and the reason why is because we're looking at some of the problems of scaling regular ev distribution with charging americas and things like that -- networks and things like that. our technology, our ip, our vehicle allows people to charge up to 40 miles a day without even having to plug the vehicle in, so we really don't need the

grid, and we won't be a burden to it. ashley: first question that everyone asks, how much do they cost? >> we have a range from about $26,000 up to $49,000, and that takes you from 250 miles, two-wheel drive, all the way up to all-wheel drive, 1,000-mile range. ashley: very cool. so that's, i would imagine, you know, on a single charge the average vehicle, because they look very cool, how far can i go on a single charge? >> well, our most popular one is a 400-mile range. we've received about 38,000 preorders, and most of them are for the 400-mile range vehicle. arc arkansas -- ashley: okay. very quickly, you are using tesla charging connections. is that right? >> that's true. we, you may have seen a very public campaign that we launched a few months ago to get them to open up their connector, and we chose that connector because it's very small and very efficient. it's kind of the aptera ethos.

and it packages in really micely behind our license plate -- nicely behind our license plate. so we're very pleased that access la did that. ashley: what if i live many seattle and i see the sun very rarely? that's going to be the question, is it not, if you have a solar-powered car. >> most people are going to get between, let's say, 20 and 40 miles a day depending upon where you live in the u.s. you can go to our web site, ap terrabonn.us -- aptera.us, and i'll show you the range that you get. if you think about for the whole year, you're going to be looking at massive net savings, maybe 5,000, 10,000 or even 13,000 miles a year that a you don't have to pay for. ashley: it'sst interesting. you know, this idea of solar-powered cars, it seems a natural one to me, but is it because it's difficult to achieve that we haven't seen more solar-powered vehicles being introduced? >> i think the reason why you're not seeing it from the

mainstream companies yet is because there's a lot of inertia when you're building an existing product, you know? you think in terms of steel, in terms of composites, we think in terms of rectangles, air to prodynamic shapes, and those kinds of first principle assumptions and changes are really hard to institute in an existing organization. if so smaller companies like aptera are able to bring this kind of thing to market and i think a larger company, it would take a concern there's a lot of internal resistance to this kind of change. ashley: how solid are they on the road? i'll leave it there, but they look very cool. do they handle the road well? >> well, the one behind me will do 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, so it's very quick, it's very fast, it'll handle on the track just like a typical small car. so i think people are going to be really impressed when they see them. we've gotten over 38,000 preorders, $1.4 billion of book revenue, so people really like it. ashley: that's incredible.

wow, they do look very cool. i look forward to seeing them. steve, thanks for joining us today, and best of luck with the car. it looks a lot of fun, and i expect to see hem on the road soon. thank you so much. >> thank you, my pleasure. ashley: yeah. they look very cool, don't they? all right. let's take a look at ford, if we can, the automaker just announcing a recall of more than 500,000 suvs. they say cracked fuel injectors could cause the vehicles to catch fire. ford already has been informed of at least 20 such cases. the recall affects all bronco and ford escape suv models years 2020-2023. repairs not available yet. ford says they are work on a software update that would alert drivers if there's a problem with the fuel injector. all right, that's ford recall. and hen there's this: elon musk just announcing that tesla's full self-driving beta are now available in the u.s.

some customers were previously blocked from accessing the feature because they didn't score high enough on the metrics that tesla uses to set insurance rates. remember that? access to the self-driving feature now costs $15,000. okay. and here we go again. climate activists in germany broke into an airport in berlin and grewed -- glued themselves to the tarmac. they closed takeoff and landing runways causing many flights to be delayed. members of the last generation climate group were protesting greenhouse emissions caused, they say, by air travel as well as the government's inaction to climate change. this is the same group, by the way, that has been targeting famous artwork many museums. just leave them there for the winter. all right, let's get back to the markets, why don't we. we've got another hour and a half or so of trading on the markets. the dow up 180 points, nasdaq down a third, s&p 500 a bit height higher right now.

it's not just covid people are dealing with now, it's also the flu and rsv as well. and because of that, some doctors, medical professionals are cautioning people that it may be time to return to the face mask. >> it is true the that covid is just smoldering along are, but now we have rsv and we have influenza surging in most of the country. and those are also very, very serious viruses. so it seems a reasonable thing another if you're going out in public. put back that mask. and do some social distancing. may be the time to rent the movie rather than going to the movie. >> reporter: the department of health and human services commissioned a report in which there is a recommendation to return to mask wearing in public, not a mask mandate, and health professional as really make that distinctionen between

voluntarily wearing masks and a mask mandate. they say there is a big gap between those two. >> the mask is a very polarizing way to go given everything that we've been through over the past couple years. but a mask mandate is a different type of thing, you know? mandate is different than voluntarily wearing a mask. >> reporter: the current covid level in the u.s. right now, about 40,000 few reported cases each day, that's up about 7% over the past two weeks. ashley, back to you. ashley: steve harrigan, thank you very much. a good time to bring in dr. march i think makary, who joins us now -- marty makary. the hhs wants to bring back maxes to protect against long covid. do you agree with that? >> long covid has been overplayed. one study that hhs commissioned suggested 1 in 5 people who develop covid, but nhs in the u.k. found that it was 1.4% of people after a covid infection and that there was a significant

amount of people with long haul symptom who did not have covid in the control group. so it's been overplayed. it's real but it's been overplayed. now, masks have been highly politicized. there is a role for masks. it needs to be a high quality mask, not a cloth mask, and mask mandates tend to create never maskers which is why, in general, i'm opposed to the mandates. ashley: well, you know, we know that -- we just heard the cases of the virus, the flu and covid, are on the rise. which one of these illnesses are you most concerned about? >> rsv right now has the highest burden particularly on infants and children in the hospital. at one point this week many maryland if a newborn baby needed to be hospitalized in an icu for rsv, they would have had to have been transported to connecticut. so the children's hospitals are really at hair break. and this is a bad flu season, at least much earlier than we normally expect. it's not too late to get your

flu shot. flu shot utilizations are way down. in my opinion, that's far more important than the bivalent covid booster which has been announced. most people have had omicron and probably don't need the bivalent vaccine. ashley: do we expect this winter more variants of covid, perhaps variants that are more resistant to the existing vaccines? >> we're going to continue to see variants, but with each subsequent variant the past population immunity should help. it won't reduce the risk of acquiring the infection or prevent transmission, but it will help because with every covid virus and variant your memory b-cells and t the-cells remember --, the -- t-cells remember and activate. we've got two new variants overseas, we're watching them

carefully. what knows what's going to come out of it, but it's something that we should see dulled down with every sub subsequent variant. ash erik well, and to that point when the pandemic first ban began, it was a a lot of talk about when do we reach herd immunity. have we reached that point? >> we reach herald impugn -- herd immunity with each variant. we reached two summers ago with the previous alpha and beta, and hen tell that evaded those antibodies. right now it's a moving target, and that's something we have to learn to live with which is another reason we can't be wearing space students and covid restrictions in perpetuity. ashley: right. we end up -- we just have to learn to live with, which i think we are. someone like me though, i had, of course, the first two shots, then i've had a booster shot, but i've not had an additional booster shot. is that something you would recommend? >> the new omicron bivalent

vaccine which the white house has been pushing hard for about two the and a half months has been taken by about 10% of americans. 90% of americans have either said i have, i had omicron already, that is, i had covid sometime this year and i have some natural immunity from omicron, therefore, i'll pass, to or they're just healthy people, they're very low risk. and there's no evidence that the bivalent vaccine is effective in young, healthy people. ashley: very good. we'll have to leave it there. lots of great information. doctor, thanks for joining us. >> thanks, ashley. ashley: thank you. now this: a court has are rejected the covid vaccine mandate in the san diego school district. the appeals court says that the district does not have the authority to uphold those rules. held is have required students 16 years and older to get the jabs in order to attend school many person and participate -- in person and participate in extracurricular activities until at least next summer, but the
