>> it sounds like a screech, doesn't it?

going to make you sweat. interesting choice of music to open our 10:00 our, it is 10:00 eastern. straight to the money. avoid the shriek. the dow is down 61 points, nasdaq is up 80, a mixed market this friday morning. the 10 year treasury yield, 3. 45%, still below 3. 5%. as for the price of oil $80 a barrel earlier, $80 right now. the real estate people, the latest read on existing home sales, what have we done? dirksen senate office building the number was stronger-than-expected, 4.2 million units on a seasonally adjusted annual rate, that is a drop, 11 month low, the lowest level, the lowest since 2010.

it is a decline of one. 5%. let me give you the price, the price is up on an annual basis but the price is 366,900, median price of an existing home, largest part of the housing market, we are seeing it come down month over month. >> the housing is not good news for the markets, "have a nice day". >> they were expecting, better than what the expectation was. it is november, december when typically it slows but mortgage rates are 6. 3% for performing loans and 7% for jumbo. i'm worried what the housing market will safer the economy going into the new year, stuart: 4 million sold on an annual basis. >> a lot of people think their house is worth what it was during covid when prices went

crazy. stuart: more for you later, kenny polcari. the supreme court leaker has not been found. last may someone leaked justice samuel alito's opinion overturning roe versus wade. after investigating for months that someone has not been identified and that is not good enough. the leaker manipulated the highest court in the land, there is no trust to the process of judging important issues is corrupted and it was corrupted, it was a deliberate attempt to undermine a supreme court ruling, the result was an assassination attempt on a supreme court justice, noisy demonstrations outside justice alito's homes, firebombings of pro-life clinics and always the fear it could happen again. given the stakes you would have thought there would be an all hands on deck investigation the doesn't stop until you find out who did it but the investigation is over. 82 people had access to the draft opinion, some employees

admitted to breaking confidentiality rules and told their spouses or partners about it. we don't know if the 9 justices were questions. if not why not? why wasn't the supreme court investigating itself? i suspect neither the administration nor the court wants to get to the bottom of it. the abortion issue playbill for democrats and the midterms, chief justice john roberts doesn't want outsiders poking around his court so here we are just waiting for the next leak to corrupt a conservative leaning supreme court and that is not good enough. tammy bruce is with me on friday morning. why isn't there an all hands on deck attempt to find out who leaked? >> this does not help americans viewing the government with suspicion, there's less legitimacy because of lack of transparency and this adds to that. it is -- everyone is expecting an answer. this is the supreme court.

it is astounding, we have methods we can use outsiders to investigate and while it is the court and i understand it is special and important they are not a separate island, they are part of the system of our government and if something goes wrong they can be investigated. we have lifetime appointments for justices and that is important, then you have employees, dozens of people, 82 employees. they noted the stories noted and the report, we don't know if justices are considered employees. i don't think they are so we don't know, that is the other problem we don't know. i suggested a solution, we know somebody leaked it, other people broke the rules, everyone who broke those rules, every one who had access to that report, until and unless someone comes forward and

confesses everyone should be fired. we know that 82 people had access to that draft which means may be the justice would come up if it is a justice, say wait, 82 people shouldn't lose their job, i did it. that is what is required of these people and the person who did this, putting people's lives at risk, disrupting the trust in this government, losing your job is the least you should be worried about. stuart: a hard-edged solution. i want to know what you think of a former ambassador to the un, nikki haley, she says she is exporting a presidential run in 2024. >> we need a young generation to come in, step up and start fixing things. can i be that leader, i think i can be that leader. >> mike pompeo and desantis floated a 2024 run. can trump beat them all?

>> everybody ran against trump in 16 and underestimated him, we are not a stranger situation now but a woman like that must be aggressive, clear, distinctive, because we've not seen hillary clinton, the most horrible candidate in the world, nikki haley has an opportunity to be clear, to be that front runner, to not be vague, so she has a special kind of responsibility and i think she can do it. i think she would be a fascinating photo and has already proven she's a good leader so i am excited. stuart: a strong candidate. >> makes all the other candidates stronger. stuart: thanks very much. a source close to governor ron desantis warning supporters against donating to the ready for ron super pac. lauren: he is not affiliated

with that pack. they say the funds could cannibalize support he could get if he got those funds directly. they intend to send $3 million in the next 6 months to boost his national profile. i don't think he needs any boosting, he's doing it himself, next month his memoir comes out, the courage to be for a, florida's blueprint for america's revival, the rite of passage for residential candidate and he's a sitting governor mitch means he's not just talking and this is not a critique of nikki haley. stuart: i want to get back to the markets but before we do that, nikki haley, ron desantis, pompeo, all probably in this race. can trump beat them all? >> i don't think so. the trump days are over. we stop focusing on him, it would die on its own. we should be focusing on the next generation, nikki haley is right, that generation, should

be that generation. trump is out. stuart: oldsters like myself should get out? i want to get to the markets. the market is convinced that the fed will keep raising rates. >> it is becoming convinced. they want to say the fed doesn't have the guts to do it, everybody, came out yesterday saying rates have to go better than 5% and we have to hold them there and they are right, the market has to stop whining and stamping its feet and take what comes because 12 or 13 years they had it all, 0 rates, stimulus, it's got to stop. stuart: you are not buying at this point? >> i am, there's plenty of opportunity. just because the market probably -- there are sectors of the economy that do very well. energy is up 60%, the market was down 20%.

metals and mining were up. there are pockets of opportunity and has an investor you have to be specifically you can't just pass priorities. you have the more active and specific and there are opportunities. stuart: businesses are taking drastic action to fight shoplifting. lauren: they are doing a lot of things. this is how we organize things. 80% of retailers have seen an increase in violence associated with theft and that is 56% small businesses. half of them to raise their prices. that's bad for customers. high end small stores, some are going appointments early, you walking when you want to walk in and others put the razors hind lock and key. big businesses with bigger pockets, you might have noticed this.

and the cashier has to take the ship and if you by the power tool, that is an investment. they have the money to do that. neil: stuart: you get it home and it wouldn't work. back to the market, looking at movers of the day, tesla up again. lauren: price cuts are working. dan ives, 3 quarters of chinese customers are considering buying a tesla this year, they are the number one brand in china. and in germany, 17% was the biggest one, pushing back the delivery times, big demand. cheaper prices push demand up. >> some of these names have gotten beaten up in 2,022 and a recovering environment money goes to sectors that got

clobbered. tesla trading at one hundred dollars, two weeks ago. stuart: where do you get your energy from? decaf. let me have a look. china's new year starts tomorrow. lauren: what a people doing? they google things when they are away from work for the holiday. stuart: state street. lauren: net interest, income boosted by higher interest rates and they will purchase stock this year. state street up 3. 3%. stuart: coming up on the show today, thanks, alec baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, on the rest movie set shooting. we will tell you how much time the actor could face behind bars if convicted. congressman eric swallwell is blaming speaker mccarthy, we

>> reporter: president biden is blaming the dust up over documents on vice president biden's aids. >> president biden: we found a handful of documents filed in the wrong place. we immediately turned them over to the archives, the justice department. >> reporter: when he did the justice department investigated for weeks before this was public, they turned their findings over to attorney general merrick garland who decided a special counsel was still required for some reason even after the special counsel came on board, biden lawyers were still searching. that's a major point of contention for biden critics. >> the idea of the justice department would allow lawyers without clearances to search for the documents, that means handle the documents, i don't understand how they allow this to happen. the search, it should have been

handled by people in the law enforcement agencies. >> if a review is underway to determine possible spillage of national security secrets, special counsel isn't saying. consistent with department practice, we will declined to comment on the ongoing investigation, but there are top democrats saying they would like to see a national security assessment. >> is there any risk they were exposed to people who shouldn't have had access? the intelligence community because those damage assessments, they should do so here. >> reporter: we will hear from the press secretary in 21/2 hours, we expect questions about this topic to be kicked over to lawyers who aren't saying much of anything. stuart: it will be another contentious press briefing guaranteed. thank you for joining us. always appreciate it.

the white house is refusing to say if they will cooperate with inquiries from the house oversight committee over handling of those documents. congressman mike waltis the joins us. have they got something to hide? >> they created quite the convenient situation for themselves. we are seeing karine jean-pierre constantly refer of the press to the justice department cover they go to the justice department and they refer it to white house counsel who isn't doing any briefings, the justice department says we never put a gag order on this white house. they are going to keep sending these reporters chasing their tails. this is why congress has to get involved and will get involved in getting to the bottom of this. the main thing, why were the lawyers, after 5 or 6 years, looking in the first place? by the way, when it comes to

congressional subpoenas, the democrats set a dangerous precedent from the january 6th committee when they said if you decline to show up for a subpoena, which historically has been, when it comes to congress, a negotiation, but now they set the precedent that you will get prosecuted criminally if you don't show up when congress demands you do. we are going to have an interesting couple months ahead of us. stuart: got to watch that one. the supreme court investigated, failed to identify the person who leaked the draft of the decision overturning roe versus wade. can congress do anything about that? >> that is pretty amazing. i share your suspicion. a lot didn't want to find the leak, frankly. they -- the supreme court and justice roberts could have called in amazing capabilities, technical capabilities from the

fbi, all types of surveillance and tracking capabilities but declined to do so. you wants to get back to the kind of cooperative spirit we need that was violated but we also need accountability. biden's justice department was happy to take a hands-off approach. imagine if the leak had been on the other side? and we had a liberal justice's life threatened by some amaga hat wearing potential assassin? they would have the entire federal government turn out to find this individual. it is not 80-90, it is probably 30-40. we know which side this leak came from and it astounds me that we can't find it, and the damage is everlasting to the credibility of the supreme court. stuart: the deliberative process has been corrupted and could be corrupted again. thanks for joining us.

suspected chinese spy. swallwell says he cooperated with the fbi but mccarthy says he believes -- mccarthy is dead set on political vengeance. as for mccarthy he claims swallwell can't get a security clearance and the private sector and shouldn't have government security clearance either. >> reporter: cofounder of home depot, bernie marcus, was on this program yesterday. he said millennials are lazy, roll tape. >> nobody wants to work anymore, especially in office, they are entitled, they give everything. if you don't work, you get as much money as when you did stuart: i wonder what tomi lahren thinks of his comments, she is a millennial and joins me in the next hour. mike pompeo claims nikki haley

>> reporter: haley, pompeo, and pence are considering joining donald trump in running for the 2,024 republican nomination for president. haley had previously said of trump ran she would pass, that's no longer the case. >> do i think i could beat that? we are still working through things and we will figure it out. i have never lost a race. i said that than and i say it now. i'm not going to lose now, but stay tuned. >> former trump spokesperson called haley and other career politicians whose ambitions matter more than her words. trump will travel, limited campaign appearances since announcing his run in november. stuart: we hear you, thanks very much. switching gears. in may 2020, janice dean starting fighting back against governome policies that led to the death of her in-laws and thousands of new yorkers.

the assisted living, tell her her husband of close to 60 years had died. it was the worst day of his life until she got sick and went to the hospital and was diagnosed with covid and died. while this was happening, we were helpless. we were all in lockdown. i was starting to see reports that are governor at the time, cuomo, was admitting sick patients into nursing homes. one thing we do about covid was the elderly were the most susceptible. while we are told to stay away from covid, they are flooding nursing homes with the disease by the thousands. i thought it was important to talk about because nobody was talking about it. he was being hailed as a president one day. he was on cnn every night with his brother, joking around, and i had it, i was furious. i decided to write something about this and did my first interview with tucker carlson. stuart: it must be very tough going up against very powerful

people in a highly contentious situation. >> you don't think about it at the time. are you are thinking about is you just last two family members in a span of two weeks and could that have been prevented? why aren't people asking questions of the governor when he is on doing his fireside chats? no one was asking those questions. if it wasn't me, who was going to do that? stuart: the book is called i am low storm, janice dean wrote it. i urge you to look at it, it is a good book. >> that was the springboard to the book, the rest of it is it at least a dozen stories about other people who go up against incredible challenges and come out on the underside wanting to do better. stuart: you are our inspiration, not an exaggeration. i'm not flattering you, it is true. >> i know flattery doesn't come easy here. stuart: it doesn't. >> i love you, thank you. stuart: thanks a lot. how about this when?

stuart: look at the nasdaq doing quite well this morning. a tough week for stocks. on friday morning the nasdaq is doing okay. ftx may be restarting operations. could they make a comeback?

ashley: it is not a joke. the new chief executive, john ray, is looking at the possibility of reviving the bankrupt crypto exchange as he works to return money to customers and creditors. he set up a task force to explore restarting ftx.com, the main international exchange. he says everything is on the table. we will not only explore it but do it. we know ftx executives have been accused of criminal misconduct. some customers praising the technology. there is value in rebooting the platform. the issue is whether reviving the exchange would recover more value for customers that could be generated by liquidating assets or selling the platform. more options are on the table. stuart: i hear you. thanks very much. kenny polcari is still with me. would you trust ftx? >> they would have to change

the name. the whole bitcoin and crypto currency is alive and well. ftx, not so sure. this guy has an opportunity to re-create it and retell the story and flush out the old, so let's see what happens. if he did it with regulation it would make sense but i would change the name. stuart: that name is going to die. capital one and we work, are the latest companies to announce a big job layoffss. madison -- madison alworth joins us. >> reporter: that graphic is concerning. the latest tech companies alphabet, they cut 12,000 jobs announcing the today, the ceo told employees in an e-mail that the layoffs are global and impact us staff immediately, number, 12,000 laid off, the list of layoffs grows at the same time, so do fears of recession.

tech giants are pulling back after years of hiring, among the companies to lay off people, microsoft announced they are hiring 10,000 employs, amazon cutting 18,000 jobs. earlier this month salesforce announced they are cutting 8000 jobs as business slows for the tech companies, the ceo saying they hire too many people, leading to this economic downturn. more layoffs will come after copies ramps up spending and even if they don't cut jobs we are seeing a slowing of hiring. >> it got too high and i told the team to slow it down. we keep critical staffing, the people we need, and watch it. >> reporter: a big concern is whether or not people will find new jobs. when you have a combo of cutting job and slowing of hiring, hopes are not high.

that is why the new york fed president john williams expect an employment to rise 4. 5% this year. stuart: thank you very much. a chilling story. it fits your narrative. they binged on staff in the pandemic and are shedding them. >> they are using the narrative of the recession as cover. every morning everyone is announcing more layoffs but they are hiding under the cover of recession is coming, we have to be more manageable so that is what they are doing and getting a pass on what is happening. google is up today on the back of that news. >> employees are hesitant to come on, i hate that, you see 12,000 people, what they say is these people are getting a pass. the leaders are able to do that. stuart: real people. thanks, everyone. the number of union workers in america hit a record low last

year. ashley, so many companies voted to unionize. how is it possible you have a new loan number for union membership? ashley: unions added more members than at any year since 2,008, following union elections, workplaces like starbucks, amazon, and apple. 14.3 million workers belong to unions last year. that is up 1.9% from the year before but data from the labor department shows actual union membership has been falling for decades. 10. one% of wage and salary workers, down from 10. 3% in 2,020 one. at its peak, union membership stood between 35 to 40%. analysts say today's tight labor market has given more leverage over their employers and that has led to renewed interest in labor unions. it is a tight labor market,

more unions being formed or at least going to elections. stuart: take a look at this. nearly 23% of us say we expect to be working remotely by the year 2025. 23%, that is a big number. the ceo of red balloon knows about this stuff. i can see how workers want to be home working remote but i can't see many employers who are going for it. how does it look to you? >> we've got an interesting tug-of-war happening between workers and employers. employers want people in the office, workers, we learned through the pandemic, you can be productive for little bit when you work at home. you don't have a water cooler at all the distractions, all of a sudden you find out you are not doing the same collaboration and innovation as in the office environment. because we still have a tight labor market, jobseekers are in

the drivers seat on this. a lot of them rediscovered their families, rediscovered the work/life balance through covid and don't want to go back. stuart: if you do have a high proportion of people working remotely, that is bad news for office buildings. they are not going to be full and rents will go down and bad news for the cities because most people who work remote outside the cities, don't want the commute, bad news all around for some sectors. >> it really is. places like tulsa, oklahoma, paid people to come to the city and move out of the bay area in new york, and now they are happy and the trend is going to be where employers realize we are in this tug-of-war and we have to compromise at some level. we are already seeing a lot of micro-offices. employers are saying i have

critical mass in tulsa or spokane or smaller metros and that is where i will build a small office culture rather than this big behemoth in san francisco or new york. that is the trend we are seeing, where employers have to compromise. they are going to have to let employers have their values out loud. this is what we are seeing in the market, micro offices where employers have to compromise because they can't get everybody back to the large central office and it will affect rents. it will affect work/life balance because people don't want to go back and i don't think that trend is going to change anytime soon. blue one appreciate it, see you again soon. tiktok trying to address concerns about national security risks. coming up we will tell you what they are up to. the us is sending another 2. $5 billion of aid to ukraine. what ukraine really wants is the tanks. are they going to get them? probably not. brett velicovich is on that

next. then i got the dexcom g6. i just glance at my phone, and there's my glucose number. wow. my a1c has dropped over 2 points to 7.2. that's a huge victory. ...

stuart: the u.s. is sending another $2.5 billion worth of military aid to ukraine.

president zelenskyy wants tanks, but america is not going to supply our tanks to the ukrainians and the germans are dragging their feet on their tank deliveries too. brett velicovich joins me. all right, brett. these tanks ar to ukrainian victory. d packages, and i know they keep asking for these tanks, and eventually i think they will get them, "varney." it's the same thing with the hi mar systems and switchblade drones where no one thought those be sent over into ukraine but the ukrainians continue to ask for them and eventually it was sent over there so i think we're going to see tanks potentially go over there. i think we could even see some fighter jets eventually go over there. stuart: it just seems to me that we're reluctant to let the ukrainians have the weapons to let them win. we seem to be reluctant to allow them to win. do you sense that too? >> you're absolutely right.

we can't keep piecemealing these aid packages. i'm here right now in davos at ukraine house with the ukrainian congress committee of america. it's a special event that brings together ukrainian-american officials, businessmen, humanitarian leaders, to discuss where this war is headed and a big topic of our discussions have been this renewed aid package which is so vital, and i think it's important for the world to understand that ukraine's economic strength at the same time is also vital and there's no economy without security, so this aid package helps ensure the economic survival of ukraine which is an incredible difficult task during these times and so we've had a number of discussions on the importance of this aid and the fact that the u.s. needs to continue to give the ukrainians what they need because it's in the end, in the best interest of american securities. stuart: it is. it is. give them the tanks for heavens sake. next one for you, brett. israel just unveiled a new attack drone that can be carried in a backpack and used by a single soldier. i believe this drone can even land back in the soldier's hand and that you're our drone guy and the drone expert.

is this a significant development? >> it's a future drone warfare. i'm seeing it on the ground as you know i've spent a lot of time on the ground in ukraine and it's the super bowl of the olympics of drone technology this is the exact type of drone tech that should be operating on the front lines, and as we continue to see a lot of different businesses innovate on drones it's really incredible to see what's happened there. i've seen everything from drone swarms, you know, that is like a flock of birds essentially flying and is able to conduct strikes on a target without much human intervention. i'm seeing a number of israeli companies produce these kammie was it drones because there's a true need for it now on the battlefield. we're seeing that all across ukraine so industry is starting to step up and produce very innovative technology. stuart: good i'm glad to see it brett i'm glad to have you on the show you're the drone expert for us brett velicovich. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: now this if a post on tiktok comes from state media, tiktok will put a label on it. why are they doing this and tell me more. lauren: okay they are slapping a

warning label to more than 40 markets now on posts and it's happening now in the u.s. as well, to warn users, well, this agency is not independent when it comes to editorial independence, journalistic conduct and where they get their money from. who funds them? they started doing this after the invasion in ukraine by russia, so they labeled russia's rt and they got those warning labels because they spread disinformation. looking into the source of the post. stuart: i'm not entirely sure i do understand that story. lauren: so the more mainstream social media companies do that too. stuart: okay. lauren: when you're on facebook and youtube. stuart: tiktok needs to rid the china connection. isn't that what it's all about? lauren: so the people on tiktok don't care. the adults care. the kids don't. stuart: very true. very true. all right here is whats coming up. i should say thank you, for joining us for the hour, kenny. i don't nowhere you get your fire from but you've got a lot of it. still ahead, steve hilton, tomi lahren, kim strassel and leo
