a hot inflationary report, the market went straight down. now we've turned around and we're up. dow is up 7, s&p 8, nasdaq up 43 points. how about big tech? if the nasdaq is up 43, can expect most big tech stocks to be up and they are. apple, meta, alphabet, microsoft on the upside but amazon is still down a bit. 10-year treasury yield. right now it's at 3.54%. that's the markets. now this, juvenile whining. that's how i would describe meghan and harry's netflix special. watching it made me angry. here is a prince of the realm and his american actress wife moaning, moaning and moaning and moaning. life is so unfair. harry says he had to quit, that's his word, his royal obligations florid to protect meghan. he wanted special treatment for

her because of her race. at one point, meghan said she does have a father. perhaps she means a father figure because she does have a real father, and his name is thomas markle, and he brought her up on his own for many years. harry compares meghan to his mother, princess diana saying both women felt constricted by royal protocol and meghan goes into elaborate description of her first courtesy to the queen and looks like she was mocking the queen. it adds up to a huge downer. this pair had everything going for them but because they didn't get that extra special treatment and consideration that they thought they were entitled to, they quit and ran off to hollywood to make money. we're told that prince william at some point will come out and refute the charges that meghan and harry are making. don't bother. juvenile whining does not need answering. third hour of varney starts

right now. ♪ stu: all right, one of the biggest stories of the day, there's lots of them, more twitter files have been released. independent journalist berry wiy wise said twitter employees were un-aware. seems that musk is blowing the lid off twitter's history of censorship, am i right? >> exactly. what it points to is this situation that we now find ourselves in confirmed, which is that the exact same people, these far left democrats who used to run twitter along with the democrats generally, the exact same people who never stop lecturing us about protecting our democracy. they've been working for years

to crush democracy by silencing and censoring anyone that contradicts their ideological group think, whether that's on politics or on the pandemic, how we handle it. whatever contradicts the group think and whatever challenges the way they think, they want to shut it down. that is the absolute opposite of democracy. it's a totalitarian mindset. that's what's been in operation and that's what's being revealed and it's a really deep threat to america. that's why we shouldn't just be angry about what happened. we should fight back and fight this totalitarianism that's really infected the democrats and parts of the media and certainly big tech. stu: how do we fight it? >> by what we're doing now. by shaming them. by shaming them and revealing that what they do is the exact opposite of what they say and

also to make sure that we don't give them any opportunity to keep doing it. that's why all those conversations around bringing competition into the big tech sector about perhaps regulating them like you 'tilties -- utilities, we're so dependent on them for our democracy and the public square. you look at platforms like not just -- i mean twitter we're learning all about. this is still going on, remember, at youtube. it's still going on. stu: yep. >> we don't know what they've done or their policies. i'll give you one specific example. the person we know that was censored by twitter came on the podcast in the early days of the vaccine mandate and we now know it was totety unjustified by the science -- totally unjustified by the virus because it doesn't doesn't stop transmission and jay came on my podcast to make that point and youtube took it

down. only when we challenged it through fox news because i was going to go on about it on sunday night on my somehow -- show, they said it was a mistake and it was an error and they didn't mean to. youtube are censoring people like twitter did. we've got to ask the platforms that are so important to our democratic conversations, do they need to be regulated like utilities so they can't carry on like this. it's a really important conversation we have to have. stu: forgive me, steve, if i break away and change the subject completely. earlier this week when you were on the show, signature next to me -- >> i know where you're going. stu: you know where i'm going, you told us you do not own a cell phone. you do not have a smart phone and you never have. i got to get back -- >> well, ten years. stu: how do you survive? do you have a phone number by any chance? i'm going to hold up my laptop that's here. there's my e-mail open from your

producers to make sure i haven't missed anything. i'm on top of it through wifi. i'm no connected. i've been very engaged in that this morning. i have to -- instead of relying on the phone to figure out where i'm going, i have to look at a map like in the old fashioned way. actually write down the directions and follow them. it gives me a better sense of where i am. i manage. stu: somehow or another having one of these, a smart phone, perverts your brain? >> definitely. you see it on the realm. i've never tried to judge; right, and say you shouldn't have a -- i have an argument and we've had this conversation about whether kids should have them. adults obviously free to make their own decisions. when you walk around cities or going on planes or wherever, everyone around staring at their screen the whole time instead of looking at what's around them. i have to say, i feel a bit sorry for them. stu: okay. well, that was very interesting, steve. i think we got more response to

your no phone steve hilton story than any other story i've done in weeks. you really set the world on fire. mr. hilton, we'll be watching you on the next revolution, sunday, 9:00 p.m. eastern only on fox. seize you later, steve. i'll call. >> thank you, stu. stu: check the markets and we're all in the green. we have a turn around. i like that. look who's with us now, cameron dawson making first appearance on this great show. >> thank you for having me. stu: producer price index at 8:30 and 7.4 inflection over the past year. that's the information the fed knows and 7.4 inflation, what do they do next week? >> i don't think this changes anything. they've so well telegraphed the 50-basis points you'd have to see something extraordinarily high to shift from that and they've talked so much from down shifting from 50 to the 75 but there's a pea point that the -- key point that the bond market isn't fully appreciating the

full entirety of the fed's message and that the bond market is pricing in cuts into the back half of next year and one of the reasons why interest rates are where they are today and it's pricing in 50-basis points of cuts but the fed is saying, absolutely not. we're not cutting because we do not want to risk restoking inflation even if we do see it come down in the short term. stu: what's that mean for the stock market then? >> likely means more pressure on the stock market from a valuation perspective because when interest rates rise, and we think there's still room for them to rise, pricing in a higher terminal rate for the fed and no cuts into the back half of next year, that means that today's valuation at around 18 times earnings is pretty rich. stu: ouch. okay. so we're not going to hit new highs any time soon. >> we don't think so because we went into this bear market trading at 22 times earnings. that's really expensive, and the only way you can justify 22 times earnings is if you see

incredible easing from the fed. or if we're in a bubble like we were in the late 1990s but we don't see that being the condition we have for this market. that means that valuation kind of acts as a ceiling and we have to grow into the high valuations. stu: it was great having you on the show and you will come back. >> yes. stu: no matter what the message. >> of course. stu: cameron dawson, thank you very much. see you soon. movers, i understand that wal-mart is moving and moving down 1%. what's the problem? lauren: well, buy now pay later is popular and inflation is the problem so reports say that wal-mart is planning to launch a buy now pay later service next year. separately truist because their price target going from 150 to 145. stu: paramount. lauren: in the leader board 5%. launched in germany, austria, switzerland and expanding internationally. i love this story and remember the jersey shore. they're doing the germany shore and it's going to show germans

>> are you ready for flight? >> yes. >> do you know where you're heading to? >> no, not at all. >> your flight back home. >> didn't even know where she was headed, but her plane touched down at kelly field on joint base san antonio around 4:30 this morning, 5:30 eastern time one day after her release was announced. from there a senior official says she will be reunited with her wife and parents at a nearby medical facility where she'll have to undergo a series of evaluations. something like that is protocol in a situation like this. now, as for the swap itself, it happened on neutral ground over in the united arab emirates and see brittany and notorious arm's dealer bouts on the air mack

crossing each other and he was arrested in 2008 for conspiring to kill americans and now as we said, he's back home on russian soil as far as what happens to him next, that remains unclear. once brittany is medically cleared, the 32-year-old is expected to eventually return to her hometown of houston. stuart. stu: okay, interesting case. thank yous very much. bring in congressman dan crenshaw. congressman, we're all glad that brittney griner is home and home safely but she has -- she kneeled for the national anthem in the past. what do you want to hear from her now that she's returned? >> well, look, she doesn't owe us an explanation necessarily. i'm glad she's home. she's in houston, obviously we share that hometown. the question we're all asking from the policy and political level is was this the proper trade? when you're going to trade

prisoners, there has to be some substance involved and some standardization as to what you're trading for and there's a mass murder on the one hand that committed unspeakable crimes against humanity and potentially responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands in africa, of children, of conspiring to kill americans with weapons he traffics. this is a pretty big deal. at one point in time he was no. 2 only behind osama bin laden as most wanted and the question is why? there's various prisoners still in russian prisons, obviously everybody is talking about the former marine paul whelan. why wasn't he prioritized as a servant of the country. why isn't that more of an equal kind of trade; right. this is the question people are rightfully asking and what kind of thought went into this? was it an either or situation? was there a chance to choose? how do you negotiate and use leverage? be open so people aren't so

upset. stu: good idea. next case. kyrsten sinema leaving the democratic party and moving to conservative. that's a shakeup in the senate. >> i don't think there's huge implications and doesn't change the republicans ability in the senate or the committee status or numbers really. she caucuses mostly can democrats. she's an independent thinkers and that's a good affiliation for her and she's doing it to avoid a serious primary so it's smart on her part as her election comes up in 2024. i think that's all there is to it. you know, i don't know her personally. she has appeared to be an actual independent, which you can appreciate the honesty behind that, but i think it's intent for her to avoid a -- intelligent for her to avoid a primary. stu: does it make joe mansion more important or more powerful? >> i don't think so necessarily.

it's just about numbers. it's about numbers. the dynamics will be changed anyway because republicans control the house now. we don't rely on those two senators as much as we did before to stop all the craziness that the left wants to bring. stu: got it. congressman, always a pleasure and thanks for being with us this morning. much appreciated. >> yes, sir. stu: the world cup quarter final. look at the markets first. a mixed picture, not a lot of price movement this morning. dow is down 27, nasdaq is up 24. next. the world cup, quarter finals, they're underway on fox right now. croatia is playing brazil. i have it on the screen right here. no score so far after 63 minutes. got that. ashley, come on in. i want to talk about the next world cup in north america. they've announced the host cities. did new york make the cut? >> they certainly did. in fact, 16 cities in north america have been chosen for the

issues on the table, but yet we're supposed to focus on what hypothetically might happen and what americans may choose in the primaries over what that might actually do in the next two weeks when we have inflation, we have recession around the corner, we have the fed getting ready to potentially raise rates another 50-basis points. i would encourage americans, stu, to look at what's actual. these hypotheticals are great narratives for people who are interested, but i'm focused on what happens for mom and dad and the american at the kitchen table who's going to sit there this weekend and figure out their finances. stu: true. all right. any comment on another hypothetical poll, which shows biden and desantis in a dead heat. if you want to leave that alone, go ahead. what do you think? >> i'll put the same thing in there, stu, if nothing else over the years you've known me, i'm consist. these hypotheticals and the polls are interesting reading for us. we do this, but i care about the

texas for example could be 35% lower than places in california like los angeles, san francisco, but more than likely it's generally in the 20 to 25% range. reporter: so what do the losses mean? california's budget is projected to be $25 billion, a short fall next year. but the governor newsom, he says things are just fine. he's not worried. the state just passed germany and france as the fourth largest economies in the world. bottom line, stuart, you know, the top destinations for california business: texas, nevada, tennessee, florida, and arizona. the new capital projects where the investors are going, california ranks no. 16 despite being the largest land mass, largest population, and three major ports but money is going elsewhere. stu: william, thank you very much indeed.
