>> this hateful eight i would call them of people with personal gripes with mccarthy. effectively they handed control of house of republicantives to the democrat -- representatives to the democrats. the center of gravity moving across to the senate. >> i don't know how this helps

us beat joe biden and every republican has to wake up and say how does this help us beat the democrats in november? every day we're taking away from helping the american people and they're the ones that lost yesterday. >> what he's done here just furthers the narrative, ashley, already kind of widespread that the gop is incapable of governing. all eight of the republicans who voted out kevin mccarthy, all fans of donald trump. what is the biggest knock on donald trump is that he brings chaos. this was a really, really bad mistake. >> bugs the heck out of me when biden says he's doing this for environmental reasons. it's like he's trying to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. it's terrible policy. ashley: a bit of bumping, i get knocked down but i get up again.

we'll see. it's 11:00 a.m. on the east coast, october 24th. i'm ashley webster in for stuart varney today. let's get straight to the markets and all been very mixed and muted is the way we'll describe it. the dow off about a third of a percent and nasdaq up a third and s&p somewhere in the middle down slightly about two tenths of a percent. some of the big tech names and we like to keep an eye on those and alphabet up more than 1% and meta and microsoft and slightly lower. 10 year treasury yield as it goes higher and so do the equities go lower. down 4.8 basis points with the yield and the 10 year at 4.75%. meanwhile, take a look at this, over 75,000 workers are starting to strike today in five states across the country plus washington dc in what could be the largest healthcare worker

strike in u.s. history. kaiser per permanente workers including lab and pharmacists and therapists are expected to strike and we'll get a live report from the picket line coming up. anyway, now this. the white house was asked about congressman cuella after being carjacked at gunpoint. roll the tape. >> did president biden's policies -- if they're helping bring crime down, would he be comfortable with somebody borrowing his corvette and parking on the street overnight in southeast dc? >> i'm not going to get into hypotheticals. ashley: well, the hypothetical is it would be stolen in probably five minutes. great question from mr. doocy. clay davis joining me now. clay, who's to blame for the rise in crime in big city s? >> democrats and left wing policies. look, the cities that are falling apart the most, washington dc and san francisco, chicago, atlanta, philadelphia, new york city.

there's zero republican opposition. i think what happened here is democrats got so focused on trump in the existential threat to democracy that he represented that they don't really have any clear governing vision. what's going on is being concerned that you're too tough on crime is a luxury of a low crime environment. we don't live in a low crime environment anymore. there are stories everywhere, one happened in any home state of tennessee, chattanooga, tennessee, on the street, a father of three, 38 years old, at his 20-year high school reunion was shot and killed on the street by a guy who'd been arrested 66 times. 66 times! these are fail the policies that are allowing violent criminals to be out on the streets, and by the way, the number one person and people that they're taking advantage of are inner city

residents that are overwhelmingly black and hispanic. ashley: right. >> the irony of the blm protests in general has been that there's more black people dying than ever would have happened if the blm protests hadn't happened in the first place. ashley: but, clay, why do voters continue to put these politicians in place when they know this is the end result? >> tribal. it's unfortunate we've reached a post-fact world where once you make the decision that you're a member of the democrat tribe or the republican tribe, there are no consequences for being wrong. i think you can take it out of crime, even though i do believe de-fun the police is the single dumbest political slogan of the 21st century, and we're seeing what the result of de-funneled the police is. just look at covid. no one in the democrat party lost their job for shutting down schools, for saying what an essential and nonessential business was. not one politician actually paid the price for being 100% wrong

on everything related to covid, and once you reach a post-fact world, it's because people want to be a fan of their tribe. it's basically sports fan dom brought short term orientation politics. there are no consequences and that's square reigns leading because ultimately we shouldn't be judging high school football coaches to higher standards of job performance than we do our politicians. ashley: going to have to leave it there but always fascinating stuff. clay travis, always putting it -- telling it as it is. that's how we like it. clay, thank you very much. let's get back to the markets for now if we can. as i mentioned -- thank you. it's been somewhat of a muted day. we had a big selloff yesterday and all the major exchanges down more than 1%. bring in mark tepper who joining us now. mark, great to see you. first question for you, september, it was a pretty rough month for stocks. can we expect any sort of october bounce? what say you? >> the market's struggling right

now and when you look at seasonality of the market, the third quarter is typically the weakest, that's why there's the old saying sell in may and go away. historically the fourth quarter is pretty strong. it's the best performing quarter of the year historically. however, ashley, i'm not convinced we'll see that normal fourth quarter rally this year. i mean, we're in just a one heck of a precarious situation where there's a country full of consumers who are addicted to cheap money and 4% mortgages, and the consumer right now is in this process of undergoing a reality check. i don't know how long that process is going to take, but it's a reality check where consumers are beginning to realize we're not going back to 4% mortgages and 0% interest rates any time soon. this is more or less a regime change. this isn't a short term problem. this is something that could last a decade or i don't think so the day of -- beyond and the day of reckoning is coming for the consumer. maybe spring of '24 and the consumer wakes up and says these

debt servicing cost aren't going down, i can't refinance my 7% mortgage to 3%, i've be then off more than i can chew and now i have to pay the piper. ashley: you know, i'm glad you use that expression because for many years during those extremely low interest rate period, i mean basically 0%, there were many people saying, yeah, baa you know what, we're go that have to pay the price at some point. people forget that and here we are. do you think we're going to get another rate hike from the fed before the end of the year? >> i do. i do. you just talked about a story where there's another strike or another wage or labor dispute. all of the wage disputes and strikes, they're not disinflationary. that shouldn't be a news flash. they are inflationary and it's infectious because once people want 40% more money, you can go into a completely different industry and all of those people want 40% more pay because

compensation is relative and normally aligned with your skill set. so i think inflation will reaccelerate as a result of all of these wage disputes that we're seeing right now. the fed's going to have to continue hiking and the higher for longer thing, it's here to stay. it's not like a hire for a year or year and a half, which is what people are used to, ashley. i mean, people for the last 15 years all they know is 0% interest rates. it's a higher for longer and longer meaning at least three years, make ten years. ashley: wow, you know what, janet yellen said she's very optimistic about the economy. is that wishful thinking? are you? >> let's qualify, i mean janet yellen, she's apart of the bidenomics grand plan. she's drinking the kool-aid, and she has to say that to get biden reelected. if you look at her track record, in october of 2007, she said that we're going to see a soft

landing, two months later we're in the middle of the great recession. in 2017, she said we'll never see a bank crisis again in our lifetimes. what, five, six years later after that we saw big bank failures happen earlier this year. then you look at what the biden administration has been doing from a data standpoint, they've got a track record of goosing the numbers, jobs, gdp, inflation. whatever the number, when everyone is paying attention, the number is pretty good. and low and behold, two, three months later they revise it lower when nobody is paying attention anymore. i don't agree with what she's saying about the economy being strong at all. ashley: great place to leave it, but terrific stuff as always, mark. thanks so much for jumping in today. we appreciate it. >> thanks, ash. ashley: thank you. "the wall street journal" says netflix is planning to raise prices again. come in, lauren, do we know when or by how much this time? lauren: we don't have specifics but it's likely when the hollywood actors strike ends.

netflix actually stands alone. they're the only streamer this year that has not raised prices. look at this, the cost of other ad-free services gone up about 25%. hulu on the left, soon you'll pay $18 a month. disney+ costing you $14 per month. you have the streamers chasing profits but it's really risky strategy. de-lloyd finds nearly a third of millennials and gen zers, the ones that cut the cord have canceled at least one paid entertainment subscription been the last six months because they need to save money. then consider this, i was shocked, average cable tv bill is $83 a month. i don't think that includes internet so $83 a month gets you traditional cable. if you take a basket of the top streaming services, it's more. $87 a month on average, that's gone up $14 in the past year. i know. it's not just entertainment,

think of ubers and ride sharing, airbnb, social media companies like x and tiktok are also floating potential paid versions. so a little here, a little there, it all ads up in the end to more than the original. ashley: more than nickel and diming you, it's definitely an impact. lauren, good stuff. crisis at the border not slowing down. we know that. thousands of migrants continue to cross every day. jeff pole having the very latest from eagle pass, texas. one sheriff in michigan is warning homeowners about gangs coming from south america and targeting luxury homes and stealing hundreds of thousands in belongings. it's scary and by the way, we have that sheriff on the show. more varney next. ♪

a daily basis with no signs of it stopping. today he's stopping in medical examiner owe and going to meet with -- mexico and meeting with government officials and talking about how his city was taken over by 120,000 migrants and hundreds arriving on a daily basis. after mexico, he's off to ecuador and traveling to columbia and from there he'll make his way to the darian gap. this is a crucial and often dangerous text of the route where mayor adams will speak directly to myogrants and wants to edge date them on how they're often misled on what awaits for them once they arrive state side. >> there's a body of people there giving them false hopes and false propses and we want to give people a true picture of what's here. we're going to tell them coming to new york doesn't mean you're going to stay in a five star hotel. it doesn't mean that the minute you come here you're automatically going to be allowed to work.

reporter: we're also learning today about a new mexican government initiative that's likely going to complicate the migrant crisis, at least here on the u.s. side of things. authorities there have begun busing migrants from the southern part to the north to the u.s.. this is an effort to free up existing transportation and being overwhelmed by the estimated 6,000 that cross into mexico each day and so far, ashley, no comment from the white house but this might be something that secretary of state antony blinken might bring up to his counter parts as he's set to visit mexico today. ashley. ashley: yes, indeed. jeff, thank you very much. appreciate it. the latest from the border in eagle pass. ken cuccinelli was the former acting deputy of homeland security. i'll spit it out in a minute. he joins us now. great to see you. i was watching that report, ken, my thoughts about new york city mayor eric adams is these people

are not going to listen to him. they're of the mindset that anything is better than where we are. we want to pursue this, you know, wonderful opportunity in the united states. it's a complete waste of time for adams to go down there and say it. do you agree? >> yeah, i do agree with that completely. you know, i settle for 4-store hotels and i don't even look them. i'm in the 2-3 star range and if i'm living in central america and talking me out of a 5-star hotel isn't a great deterrent. what's most interesting about this is the desperation that the mayor seems driven to over his democrat party piers in washington to go -- peers in washington to go and make some attempt to slow this low. here it is the mayor of new york, not the president of the united states that's attempting to slow the flow, not the secretary of homeland security

that's attempting to slow the flow. as they open the doors. honestly, the mayor is doing everything he can to avoid direct political attacks on biden's administration, but he's literally missing with every shot he takes anything that might actually the situation in his own city. only way is to close the border in texas, arizona, and california. ashley: the other thing that bugged me about what adams said is when i came to the border, it really opened my eyes. howdies ingenuous, it's been going on for years and not till republican governors started busing the migrants to the states far away, far removed from the border that the crisis actually came into focus. i think it just shows how clueless these progressive leaders are in areas away from

the border. >> you're more generous than me, ashley. the desantis and abbott efforts to transfer people really did waken people up. he's being dishonest in that respect. he's feigning former ignorance at the border comment and it's been a disaster for a long time. ashley: thank you, ken. we appreciate it and good stuff as always. >> good to see you. ashley: you too. looks like nancy pelosi will need a new office after today. come back in, lauren. exactly what happened. lauren: she was evicted by the interim house speaker, who is patrick mchenry in one of his first acts as speaker. he asked that she vacate the space immediately. this was reportedly around 6:00 p.m. last night.

and he said in the e-mail that the office will be rekeyed today. here's the problem. nancy pelosi is in california for the funeral services for her good friend diane feinstein. ashley: very good. nancy doesn't like it. lauren, thank you very much. democrats are getting ripped on social media after they use the movie classic mean girls to try and make president biden look cool. there it is. i don't think it worked. we're going to tell you exactly what happened. also, new york jets quarterback aaron rodgers taking a jab at travis kelce. watch this. >> didn't have a crazy game and mr. pfizer, we shut him down a little bit. ashley: did you catch that? this comes after kelce teamed up with pfizer to promote covid booster. we're going to break it all down for you next. ♪

slightly higher on the dow and three quarters as the nose dak and s&p and all this after yesterday's selloff of 1% or more. lauren, looking at movers today, go to zoom video and causing it during the pandemic. lauren: yeah, down 3.5% today alone and stifel cut price targets by $5 to $70. it's above where it is now. here's the deal. their artificial intelligence plan hasn't shown sustainable growth yet and what happened? zoom announced zoomtopia write the new ai-focused products they have for the hybrid work environment but unless you can show you can monetize that, you're out of luck. the stock is down. speaking of ai, google shares is higher and google is teaming up, ready, ashley, it's personal digital assistance with its barred chat bot. so you can get generative and reasoning all in one. i was trying to figure out what that would mean so let's say you

take a -- ashley: more than from me. lauren: take a picture of your dog and bar the generative instagram post for you. google has the new pixel phone and reorder right now. it has ai in the camera and it can edit your pictures. say you take a lot of pictures and hardly every get everybody smiling in the group photos. combine the best of ports of entry toes into one so everyone is smiling. that's a positive. lastly, tesla, no. 1 on s&p 500 today and up almost 4%. it's an early winner from uaw strikes that general motors said cost them $200 million. ashley: yennis, that makes sense. all right, lauren, good stuff. thank you. we've been showing you throughout the show today of 75,000 healthcare workers are going on strike across the country. we've seen pictures out of los angeles and denver. mark meredith is live from springfield, virginia, this

morning. mark, what do the workers want? reporter: ashley, good morning to you. the workers say the demands are quite simply over my shoulder on the picket line and they want more pay, they also want more help doing their jobs, but the strike that's happening today in virginia and mentioned in other states, it's only temporary and lasting a few days. either way it's generating a conversation about the condition of the healthcare industry. where we are here in virginia, those on strike today include pharmacists, optometrists and i mentioned this strike is much larger. kaiser permanente of course well known for providing healthcare coverage and facilities for 13 million americans and 39 hospitals throughout the country and workers on strike since the pandemic has gone on past three years and they've been forced to work longer hour withs no better benefits and their workload is simply unsustainable. >> i've worked through covid until today and things haven't gotten any better. thinner and thinner the staffing

model is very tight impacting the staff and the work condition and patients at the same time. reporter: the strike extends well beyond virginia impacting states like california, virginia, oregon, washington state and doctors are not on the picket lines includes nurses, home health aids and those that take x-rays. what does kaiser say about this? our goal is to reach a fair and equitable agreement that strengthens our position as a best place to work and insures that high quality care our members expect remains atoedable and easy to access. ashley, the company says they've been trying to hire workers for several months and it is a tough labor market and dealing with inflation not only for labor costs but materials and either way these workers that are out on the picket lines will stay out here all day and they're fed up and want something to change quickly. ashley. ashley: we hear you, mark, thank you very much for that. appreciate it. dr. marty makary joining me now.

doctor, my question was how does this -- what does this walkout mean for patient s? i want to pick up on something that mark talked about there and what he talked about was the fact that there's a crisis of short staffing across the country in hospitals in particular and that can not be good for patients. when you don't have enough people looking after you, things go wrong. >> rights, and they were running thin before covid and covid exacerbated it and put people over the edge. one in five healthcare workers quit healthcare all together during covid. for a number of different reasons but burnout was one of them. so these are concerns that have been there for a long time and i am concerned that these hops will not be able to pro-- hospitals will not be able to provide good quality care during a strike and kaiser is both a health insurance company and hospital and workers are arguing the company was collecting premiums even when volumes were

down increasing their profit margin. they want $25 an hour. kaiser is saying, look, somewhere between $21-$23 is a starting base minimum pay. they want it based on geography and they're pointing to the fact that kaiser while they had a loss last year, operating loss of nearly $2 billion, they've had a profit this year that's on target for greater than $1 billion. kaiser said look at margins thin in the business and 2.9%. ashley: interesting. very quickly and before i go onto covid vaccines, does this mean if the workers get what they want ultimately we're all going to pay even more for healthcare. >> yes, and that's already happening but the staffing cost haves gone up and that's directly increasing health insurance premiums year-to-year. ashley: now get to this, about the new covid vaccine, why are so few americans getting it. that said i was at walgreens yesterday and the two people in front of me in line both wanted that covid booster.

but do they really need it? >> well, we don't know. we don't have a proper randomized covid trial and covid vaccine that pfizer made that was approved three weeks ago for every american 6 months of age and older was approved based on data from ten mice. many people are concerned that's insufficient data. the covid vaccine's different from the flu vaccine and has a higher complication rate and we don't want to creteuate hysteria and fear mongering, is there transit focus that's inevitable and this is not a virus to get a massive surge and it's gone. we get surges and then it's ubiquitous and it continues to be everywhere so it maybe inevitable and that's why people want to see more data. ashley: yeah, let me ask you because maybe i'm kind of the typical person and i got the first two shots and then i got a booster and i think a lot of people got three. then they said you know what, i fio that's fine. i'm not gone vinceed i need --

convinced i need more. are we covered and this thing mutates and there are new strains and generally do we have herd immunity? >> look, there is cellular immunity. if you think separately from the an body surge that -- antibody surge you get and protection from severe illness is strong and 90% have aquavitted b-cells and t-cells and that's preventing severe disease. i've talked to icu director at one of the largest hospitals in the country, and he says he hasn't seen a covid death in a few months. we see statistics that don't delineate death from covid versus incidental covid infection. the reality is rhinovirus and seasonal viruses stress the system of people elderly anyway. there's just no good solution. i would love it if this booster prevented the infection and reduced transmission. we just don't have any evidence that it does.

ashley: yeah, frustrating but great stuff as always. dr. makary, thank you for joining us this morning. thank you. now this, injured jets quarterback aaron rodgers going after travis kelce. after what, lauren? lauren: the covid shot. rodgers calls kelce mr. pfizer because of all the ads he's done for the vaccine and the flu shot. rodgers of course is unvaccinated and he's been critical of the nfl's covid policy. so watch here, ashley. >> didn't have a crazy game and, you know, mr. pfizer, we kind of shut him down a little bit and didn't have a crazy impact game and had some yards and stuff. lauren: rodgers is recovering from surgery and he was at the jets/chiefs game on sunday and he was seen on the field pregame talking with kelce and he wouldn't say what exactly they were talking about. yep, i guess he's mr. pfizer now. ashley: could have pfizer on the back of his jersey. that's cheap.

anyway, i want to get into this one. the official x act for the democrat party being mocked about a post for president biden. explain. lauren: the post on october 3, yesterday, otherwise known as mean girls day. it was made popular by the lindsey lohan movie 2004 mean girls and invoked this line from the ultimate mean girl regina, her mother, watch. >> need anything, don't be shy, okay. there are no rules in this house. i'm not like a regular mom, i'm a cool mom. right, regina? >> please stop talking. >> okay. lauren: i'm a cool mom. i guess joe biden with his aviator sunglasses is a cool president as the post right there suggests. the media is having fun with it. a lot of people are poking fun. but president joe biden isn't a regular president, he's a cool president. #meangirlsday. i mean -- ashley: yeah, pretty sad attempt. just putting on sunglasses ain't

that there is an adult that is there if case something comes up and as a child that, you know, all kinds of needs lap during the time that they're here. they want to know that there's somebody close by that can take care of those needs and also the kids are studying here to be a friend to the child, to be -- to have them be part of your life and you be part of theirs. ashley: but, tammy, aren't these young folks, they're young adults and not children. i thought part of the reason for going to college is to stand on your own two feet and, you know, get some -- the ability to leave mom behind, fly the nest? >> and they do that very, very well. i don't stand in the way of that i actually encourage it. by the time they're done here with the four years of college, they're more independent than anybody you've seen. they're amazing.

it's not too -- it's really not a service to do that to coddle them in that sense because i don't coddle but it's a service that takes care of their -- things come up with children. you're away, your kids at home and things come up with them at home all the time whether it's medical, whether it's, you know, anything, anything. whether it is they need to have a tutor or whatever they need. things do come up. when a parent is so, so far away, they can't help that child and 90% of the time is just talking the child down and trying to make them understand that it's not as bad as they thought they got this b instead of an a or what have you. ashley: right. so, tammy, let me ask you this, how much does it cost, how much does the service cost?

>> the service costs around $10,000 a year to join. to have access to us. we're a group of five ladies that work here, and we have a lot of drivers on the outside but we're -- ashley: oh, we lost tammy. we lost her but got that in. $10,000 a jeer to help with the ironing? i have to leave it there but thank you, tammy kumin. i hope you can hear me now and joining us. fascinating story but i'm not sure i get it. one school district in california will build new housing for teachers. how does that work, lauren? lauren: such a sad story. it really is. the problem is the median home price in that part of california is $1.9 million. working class folks in mountain view and silicon valley can't afford it. the district, the school district is building a teacher's

housing complex so that teachers can work in the schools there and live affordably and also save money to put down roots and eventually buy a home because many families still wants american dream of home ownership and the average teacher salary between 75 and $134,000 a year. that doesn't match the price of a home there. this project is expected to be completely next year. look, it might be extreme in parts of california, but it's bad in other parts of the country too that we're actually building complexes so workers can afford to live where they work. ashley: teachers, yeah. it's a sad statement, is it not. lauren, thank you very much. a quick look at dow 30 stocks as we do at this time every day. just a get a sense of where we're at. just perhaps slightly more red than green. i think that's lauren coughing. i hope you got a glass of water there, lauren. microsoft, sales force, up top

not mistaken, you're in michigan, which is upper by the other border; right? >> yeah, actually we do have a northern border here on michigan so we're a long way from the southern border. ashley: yeah. >> primarily they're coming in two different ways. visa waiver program, vwp allows people to apply online without the same kind of background and intensity, and we know a number of governments haven't fully ffulfilled the promise of what that entails like a full and complete access to us by their backgrounds. chvwp and gangs from chile and venezuela and we know a number of people have been coug that are part of the gangs all over the country but there's so many of these different groups that are working and they are hammering my area in most recent months.

you? >> no. you have to have secure boarders to have homeland security. that's a basic principle. obviously we need to fix our own system so those that want to come here for a better life have a timely reasonable process with a full vetting. but if you don't secure the border, we know fentanyl deaths, 100,000 last two years running and human trafficking is through the roof. we know people on the terrorist watch list have been caught. how many haven't been caught, that's up about 600%. obviously gangs that are coming across the border or through vwp without a full vetting are hammering all across the country and they have hit my area a lot. ashley: wow. interesting story, a scary story but, sheriff, thank you for bringing it toous. sheriff bouchard, oakland county, michigan. thank you. >> thank you. ashley: thank you. time for the wednesday trivia question, what percentage of
