flow, they can't deal with the people that they already have here. the biden administration is reading the polls and looking at 2024 and for him to put up an embarrassment says they're reading that they're in trouble. >> i look at matt gaetz and it was all tactics, and he really brought down the house. we are shut down. we a aren't doing anything becae matt gaetz is do ago victory lap and monetizing this. >> we think it's all of a sudden the ninth inning with this 2024 presidential election, and the reality is many voters think we're just getting warmed up. >> reason why we are seeing chaos in the markets right now is because of the chaos in washington. there's no leadership in the white house and sadly now there's chaos in congress. that's a problem. stuart: the producers are being very generous in their

allocation of tom petty music, i real limb like it, don't back down. this is after a big tussle with the recording contract and wouldn't back down and he won. >> my alma mater, gainesville, florida. played every game before the fourth quarter.er. stuart: know the name of his first band? mud crutch. he ditch that had name. >> he did. system of articulation stuart: we've got a big so she felt let's go with us. it's 11:00 eastern time. thursday, october 5. let's not get bogged down with tom petty. the market shows a selloff on the dow and the nasdaq. down another 136 right there. show me big tech, probably lower across the board, yep, that's what we've got. apple, alphabet, microsoft, meta, amazon. they're all down. a look at 10-year treasury. earlier that yield is coming down and it's still coming down, and that's not helped the nasdaq. 472 on the 10 year as we speak.

now this, a typo or misinformation and border czar swith acute and unlawful entries into the united states. really? 20 miles of border wall will be built in stark county, texas. that's a complete reversal of what joe biden said in august of 2020. watch this. >> trump campaigned on build that wall. are you willing to tear that wall down? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. number one. number two, what i'll focus on and the fact is that somebody in this group written a lot about the border, i'm going to make sure that we have border protection but it's going to be based on making sure that we use high-tech capacity to deal with it. and at the ports of entry.

that's where all the bad stuff is happening. stuart: okay, okay. that's a complete reversal. what's going on sneer well, it's called seizing the political moment. matt gaetz f fiasco and they'll build a border wall and democrats look bad so why don't we republicans look good? solving nothing in the migrant crisis and that's irrelevant. this is the democrats making the best out of republicans republican's matt gaetz problem. there's no polls on voter opinion in the drama in congress but right before it happened, polls showed biden in deep, deep trouble. q poll in pennsylvania, voters just released voters trump leading biden by two points, 47-45. before that, it was the abc washington post poll which showed trump up by ten points. building 20 miles of border wall is designed and timed to reverse biden's polling decline.

so is the just announced $9 billion student loan give away. who knows what's next. the democrat wills never allow the republican crisis to go to waste. third hour of varney starts now. stuart: steve hilton joins us now. steve, you heard my take. i say the democrats are seizing the moment. do you think this hurts republicans in 2024? >> the chaos in congress, it definitely does and they need to get on with it and clean things up and you're completely right. one of the oldest rules i remember for my time working on political campaigns is the best you can do is control the agenda, make sure that what everybody is talking about is an issue that is good for you and bad for the other side. all the time talking about chaos at border or what's going on with inflation and gas prices

and that's bad for biden is good for republicans. if the news agenda is dominated by republican in fighting in congress, that is taking all that stuff off the agenda. it's bad for republicans and one more point i don't agree about the border wall announcement and i was in the same position and my wife showed me the news last night. they're building the wall. can you believe? i said that's fake news. that can't be real. they wouldn't just announce that. especially on the day that they're trying to get student loans on the news and do you know what was interesting? they didn't actually announce it. they're actually embarrassed and ashamed about it. they slip it had out in this small announcement in the federal register or whatever it was. they didn't make a big press conference at white house. they know how humiliating it is because exactly because of the clip that you just played and the real point here is that walls end up not being racist when the consequences of their disastrous border policies start to affect democrats in the city's that they run where you

are in new york, stuart. stuart: that's very true. jim jordan, steve scalise, they've both announced bids to be the next speaker. biden was asked if he had any advice for the next speaker. steve, watch this. roll it. >> what's your advice for the next house speaker? stuart: it's come to this, steve: the president is laughing at republicans and he's so vulnerable himself and he seizes that moment. what do you say. exactly. exactly right and we're talking about earlier. this is an on goal and completely self-inflicted wound and republicans have to get take act together and everything there to be said about this has already been said and anything to add and the country needs a

strong opposition party in that chamber that's controlled by the republicans with that very small margin because we've got to have someone standing up against the disaster of policies on every single issue. this administration and the democrats in congress with the senate where they have control are destroying the foundations of prosperity and security in our country. you look what's going on in our cities, on the streets, with our economy. everywhere you look, it's a disaster. we've got to have a strong united republican opposition. stuart: democrats are good at politics, republicans are not. steve hilton, see you again soon. back to the markets, down another 150 on the dow and 138 on the nasdaq. that's a selloff, put it like that. lou basenese joining us for market coverage this morning. think the chaos, matt gaetz fee

fiasco having any impact on the markets? is that why it's done? >> no, it's focused on the fed and interest rates and the fiasco is continuing and no clarity between too many candidates running and lack of leadership. that's not going to resolve any time soon. stuart: got it. lou, i want to talk about sam bankman-fried and his trial. why do you think so many relatively sophisticated investors, i thought they were sophisticated and gave him tons of money? >> this is what sill von valley keeps doing. look at elizabeth holmes and theranos and look at how they do the deal and no due diligence is done. the marquee investor is in the deal and put your money too . everyone falsely assumes someone else did the diligence and saw it in theranos and with sam bankman-fried who everyone thought could be the next jamie dimon and he was the next bernie madoff. we do the diligence first and share with investors and say here's all the work and why you should think about investing, but s silicon valley doesn't

operate that way. i look at pitch decks every day of the week and every slide is the key investors and all star investors in the deal already and that convinces people i'm going to miss out. they must have done the work, why shouldn't i be involved in this. stuart: you're not buying it, are you? >> big tech doesn't look like it got the memo either. goldman sacks is saying we're normally coming into earning season. tech was in a momentum rally and this time they're down about big seven stocks down about 7% and there's a positive potential for surprise on the earnings. look, big tech has run up too far, too fast and nvidia up 200% and meta up 150% and all these stocks that have come up so far. why are you going to chase after more of the rally and look for bargains in areas of the market beaten up and sold off. that's small c caps and bio-tech

and trading at 22 year historic discount to large caps and that's buy low and sell high. not buy high and hope to sell higher. stuart: you're killing my retirement. >> you're not retiring any time soon. you've got plenty of time? stuart: you think? lauren is looking at chlororocks. this is a fascinating situation. chlclorox is way down, 8% loss. lauren: a hack attack disclosed in august and clorox will see a first quarter loss because of that. and a sales drop as bad as 28%. so scattered spider is the name of the hack group reportedly also got into clorox and they were the ones that hacked cesars and mgm. they were able to do this at clorox and take them offline and disrupt operations and supply chains. stuart: some clorox products are not getting to the shelves? lauren: that's what we're hearing. a nationwide shortage of some lori harmon ox products --

clorox products. stuart: floor and decor. lauren: it's a retail store with any flooring and they're down almost 4% and this is the consequence corona and moten dell low and raising profit target and stocks down 2% and the reason is the wine business is softening. stuart: tell me about it. we happen to be in the wine business and we're not doing that well. thanks very much indeed. lauren, where are we now? attendance at disney's theme parks are lagging and cutting ticket prices and trying to boost foot traffic. tell you about that . donald trump 2024 campaign brought in more than $45 million in the fourth quarter, outpacing governor desantis that brought in nearly $30 million. we'll take you through the latest fundraising numbers. remember when president biden said this about building the wall along the southern border,

play it again, sam. roll it. >> are you willing to tear that wall down? >> there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. stuart: all right, now the administration is reversing course and say there's an immediate need to build the wall. jeff paul in eagle pass, texas, with the latest coming up. ♪ this is spring semester at over 13,000 us school districts, which have become top targets for ransomware attacks. but there's never been a reported ransomware attack on a chromebook. which is why thousands of schools like the fairfield-suisun unified school district switched to google tools for education. so they can focus on teaching and 22,000 students can focus on learning,

stuart: nows of migrants

continue to cross into the unit illegal lie and dhs secretary mayorkas said there's an acute and immediate need to build barriers at the boarder and comes right out and says it all of a sudden. jeff paul is live with us from eagle pass, texas. how soon could we see construction of this border wall? reporter: that part, stuart, is unclear and out here on the boarder and see one of the big groups cross into the u.s. like we did yesterday of about 300 people, it's pretty overwhelming but then you realize that this is just a small snapshot of thousands that do that on a daily basis, and that's in part the reason why the biden administration is now going to waive 26 federal laws in order to restart border wall construction it had previously stopped and that was back in january of 2021, the biden administration at the time called the massive border wall "not a serious policy solution". but now 20 miles will be

constructed along the rio grand valley in south texas. the trump administration built around 450 miles of barriers along the southern border between 2017 and 2021. environmental groups are opposed to the new construction saying it'll impact ecosystems and wildlife in that very area and when you talk with folks that call the rio grandholm and dealing with the flow of the migrants for years, they have long been frustrated that politicians on both sides haven't done more. >> that's keeping our country safe first and foremost and fixing thens with the crisis at the southern border. plain and simple. >> this is new video emerging this morning from the mexican side of the border just across from el paso, texas. it appears this is a crowd of migrants and their reaction to just arriving on that side of

the u.s. mexico border and we've reached out to cvp and surrounding the legalities, stuarts of the river buoys you might remember and greg abbott installed here in eagle pass, texas. stuart. stuart: the legality of them fascinating, isn't it? see you again soon. former border patrol chief rodney scott joining us now. rodney, why do you think the administration suddenly finds a need to build a border wall now? why do you think that is? >> well, first and foremost, i honestly hope they build border wall but i don't think it'll happen. the reason that they're taking this action is something as simple as calling the impoundment control act and that act requires the executive branch to spend money appropriated by congress consist

with that appropriations and 2019 to build bolderrer wall system and the barrier and rose wall above and this administration came in and i was in this administration for seven months and in the room having conversations and they wanted, they stopped all border wall construction and they acknowledged back then that they didn't have the legal authority to do that because of the impoundment act and they've had a strategy all along to do very small steps, absolute least they could and then literally try to let the money drain away because there's a lot of contracting behind the scenes and things money was being spent on. that money was going to lapse on september 30th of this last year. nay were hoping congress would rescind that money, congress did not. this really in my opinion and many of my sources inside cvp say it's a step to avoid a slylation of the impoundment act and i'll be surprised if any construction takes place. stuart: that's fascinating,

rodney. an inside look at what on earth is going on. the answer is not much. secretary of state, antony blinken, alejandro mayorkas are all in mexico. are they telling the mexican government they're going to build a wall? >> no, i don't. i honestly doubt they're telling them if you don't help us with border security and enforce your own laws, we're going to hold you accountable. that's what the last administration did and mexico stepped up. the minute this administration came in they told mexico we're a great partner and we'll be friends and they really stopped holding mexico accountable using some of the leverage that we had. i doubt we'll see anything new out of this. this last week, mexican government started contracted buses to ship illegal aliens entering mexico through mexico and getting them to the southwest border quicker and no

outrage from this administration. i'm not real hopeful anything comes out of this. stuart: come back and give us interesting information. one more for you, 50,000 migrants from venezuela crossed the border in september alone. that's a record high. is this a direct result of the administration giving venezuelans work permits? >> it really is. so we talk about push and pull factors but any time we send signals that you'll be allowed into the united states and released, it increases the flow. i'm really glad you brought this up and talking to somebody in cvp that was really frustrated and that agent told me that one specific station they were encountering hundreds of adult male venezuelans each day, young adults. they had tattoos, they had the appearance and the language how they interact with law enforcement as gang members but since we don't have access to criminal data bases in venezuela, and they did not admit to being gang members, they were processed as normal

asylum sucres and released into -- seekers and released into the united states. this is a significant threat into our country and we're being silly. we had mechanisms in place to secure the boarder and this administration tore every single one of them down and fighting texas on putting in a buoy barrier that border patrol tested and decided we were going to use. stuart: amazing. rodney, excellent information and we appreciate you being on the show. come back and see us again soon, please. >> definitely, thank you, have a great day. stuart: sure thing. many illegal migrants that cross the border get loads of free stuff from the government. ashley, do we know exactly what free stuff they get? ashley: well, they get free stuff. it is exsiccated though. the poll i -- it is complicated and they re-serious different things on federal and state levels but it's clear the taxpayers are picking up a hefty bill for people in the country illegally. some of the benefits being provided from select state and

local governments, housing, cash assistance, education, healthcare, food, foreclosure prevention and legal support. it's amazing. that list comes from just five cities: new york, city, houston, los angeles, and miami. so is there any wonder why millions of migrants are hell bent on getting here, stu? stuart: no, the reason is pretty obvious i'd say. ashley, talk to you later. starbucks closing seven more locations in san francisco. because of crime. 97% of the city's restaurants have reported graffiti or property crime in the last month. and there's this too, an open category introduced for transgender swimmers at this year's berlin world cup is now being canceled because they received no entrance. zero. nobody showed up. caitlyn wheeler is a former ncaa swimmer and she'll react to that next. ♪

there's a special category for trans-athletes, and nobody showed up. i think i've got that right. you tell me what that tells you. >> >> of course they failed to get entries for the meet. what man wouldn't want to compete against other men when they compete in the women's sports and dominate. i mean, men have larger heart muscles, higher bone density and higher te testosterone levels giving then an advantage. in maine, there was a 16-year-old male ranked 172nd in the mens and started competing in the womens and is now ranked fourth. this just shows that there's an unfair advantage here. they're not here to make it fair. they're hereby to dominate. stuart: but one of the solutions to this problem was that you have a special category where trans-athletes compete amongst themselves. that doesn't work, customer it? >> no, it doesn't. it's not going to be satisfactory and they don't want

a third category, that's not going to satisfy what they're looking for. men want to invade women's sports and they're erasing women and destroying women's sports. having a third category isn't going to solve anything at all. stuart: what is the solution? >> having a mens and womens categories and calling out fantasies in the collusions and not affirming them and we're doing the opposite if we're not standing up for truth and affirming fantasies and not standing up for what's right and we should have men and womens sports and we've always had them and always had them for a reason since title 9 was in place. stuart: no matter what you say you identify as, you're in that category and that's it. yes? >> that's it. yes. stuart: okay. let's see what happens at the olympics next year in france. caitlyn, thank you for joining us and we value your input.

world with lower numbers and travel agents say higher prices and arriving trips to europe are the biggest reasons. >> stuart: thank you, ash. >> disney might be the happiest place on earth but the dumbest place to put your money. stuart: what's wrong? >> the one bright spot was consumer spending and park attendance and now there's weakness. if you look at chart, disney now is trading below its covid lows. so you know business is bad if when we went through a shutdown of the parks and the stock is lower than that happening. it's not cheap, they're fighting a lot of competition in the streaming space, and they're picking political fights. that's not a business i want to put money behind. stuart: $79 a share. thank you. not too late to send in friday feedback. e-mail questions or whatever to varneyviewers@fox.com. election day in virginia just over a month away. governor glen youngkin raising millions for republicans.

former president, who has a wide lead in the polls and by the way, both desantis and nikki haley campaigns are set to meet with the major donor network, american opportunity alliance next week and both will be making their pitch over why donors should support them in their bid against donald trump. ashley: the former president raised more than $45.5 million in the third quarter and more than $37.5 million in cash on hand. the eye popping total exceeding the reported amount his campaign and super pack brought in during the second quarter by more than 10 million. it's also by the way nearly double the amount the primary front rouner grazing in the quarter and trump campaign mocking ron desantis saying "the de-sanctimonious campaign admits to q 5 million cash on hand for the primary election and grave indication that rones

stuart: the exit continues. starbucks will close seven locations in downtown san francisco. ashley i'm sure this is because of crime. is there any left in san francisco? ashley: actually, they do. there's a starbucks everywhere like a wall greens or what have you. there's 52 starbucks in san francisco still but to your point, the company not blaming

rampant crime for closing stores even though a recent survey found roughly 97% of san francisco's restaurants have experienced grady trimble tee tee or property -- graffiti or property crime in the past month and each year is a standard course of business and we evaluate the store portfolio to determine where to best meet the community and customer's needs. since the onset of the pandemic some 40 retail stores have ditched the once thriving union square section of downtown san francisco. that's also of course in addition to the dozens of others that have pulled up stakes from areas surrounding the city. they don't like to say it's because of crime, but all factors point to it. stu. stuart: got it. thanks, ashley. dana white, it's the mayor of the southern california city escondito and the mayor, your honor, joins me now. i want you to take us through the story real fast. you started on the streets. how did you end up as the mayor of escondito?

>> you know, that's a great question. thank you for having me onto share my story and inspire others. you know, i'm a product of the services that used to be offered throughout the county of san diego. i was in a six month outpatient rehabilitation and i had family and friends willing to help me meet my basic needs and foot, shelter clothing and things like that and 20 years ago and governor newsom of california promised to eradicate hopelessness and we're shouldering the burden of 30% of the nation's homelessness and investing in things like housing first which is a i got that.

i got to point out you had rehab for six months that's expensive and how can you pay for thousands upon thousands of homeless people going through six months of rehab and then getting back on the street where is there's no guarantee that they'll stay straight? >> yeah, i think that the government needs to get out of the business of trying to solve the root causes of homelessness. for me and for leaders of cities like mine, we have to invest in shelters to get people off the streets and my job as mayor is make sure we have clean, safe sidewalks and beyond that be relying upon the nonprofits and other service providers to do just that. i was fortunate, the rehab i was in was about $500 a month, and it was manageable for somebody where limited resources, but ultimately almost all of them have been eradicated. stuart: have you got the money for this? no, you don't.

>> the city of escondito is strapped for cash but we'll ultimately make it happen. stuart: think you can do all this? open new shelters? provide rehab? you can do that? look, i'd love to find the solution because no solution seems to work here. but i'm just wonder if there's any solution at all. >> you know, i think we have to stop relying on the government to solve those root causes of homelessness and that's what i'm here to do as a mayor. opening a shelter is easy and getting people off the streets into a shelter is ease jim jordan and beyond that we have to rely on the service providers and nonprofits and those in the business of recovery to make recovery happen and that in california is the major root cause. stuart: but build it and they will come. open the shelterses and more will come. isn't that the way it works? >> no, there's a difference. so right now the city of escondito could take grants from the state and county to open a shelter. but ultimately that makes us a county resource. we are not taking that approach.

to my knowledge, there's very few cities that are taking that approach. you self-finance a shelter, you pass an encampment ban and get people off the streets and into the shelter and that's the promise i made to the citizens of escondito was to solve homelessness, getting bodies off the sidewalks and into shelters but beyond that, the hone ous is on the individual to seek help. stuart: you're doing something. we appreciate that . thank you for being on the show. we appreciate it. hope to see you soon. >> yes, sir. stuart: thank you. it's that time, thursday trivia question, it's a good one. how many broadway theaters are currently operating in new york city? 28, 35, 41 or 49? i'd love to know the answer to this one. i wonder if it's smaller number than before the pandemic. >> i'm absolutely clueless here. stuart: don't look it up. the correct answer when we return. ♪

..

stuart: we did ask a pretty good question. how many broadway theaters are currently operating in new york city? the low numbers 28, the high numbers 39. haven't got a clue. ashley, we are coming to you. what have you got? ashley: i don't have a clue either.

i will go with 41. stuart: number 3 for ashley. >> i we use a scientific approach, 28. stuart: you got to be right. i will go with 35 on the grounds that 41 it is. look at that. i would like to know the number of theaters operated in new york city because i'm sure a few closed, they all closed down. thanks very much indeed. don't forget to send your friday feedback, we don't get much hate mail but you can do that if you like, varneyviewers@fox.com. there is some reading, the yield on the 10 year treasury going down a little bit. thanks for joining us for the hour. coast-to-coast starts now.
