extreme good. in judaism, we believe good deeds can change reality, and that's what we're trying to spread. we're trying to spread a little bit of light can take away a lot of darkness. >> the whole process of the selection of the speaker is very opaque. by and large, people don't remember these types of things. t it's not about inflation, it's it's not about the price of gas, it's not about the, you know, safety and security of america, about immigration. those are things people really care about. ♪ ♪ stuart: all right. good morning, everyone. it is 11 a.m. eastern time. it is thursday, october the 12th. israeli forces continue to launch missiles into gaza as they try to get rid of those tunnels that they use for weapons storage. the ground invasion has not started. the secretary of state anthony blinken held a joint press conference with prime minister netanyahu in this morning.

1200 israelis have been murdered, at least 25 of those are american citizens. the very latest as the news comes many for you. quick check of the markets, please. we're down for the dow, up for the nasdaq. no clear price trend this morning. here's the 10-year treasury yield. it has been moving up, it's now back up to 4.65. that really punctured the stock market rally earlier in the day. as for the 2-year, it's it's well above the 5% level. that too is a negative for stocks. and now this. it didn't take long. the public image of a hamas is being transformed. brutal terrorists have become oppressed victims. as israel retaliates for the butchly of its own citizens, the left characterizes israel as to pressed -- oppress to have. pal stint -- palestinians the the oppressed. bernie sanders, israel's blanket denial of food, water is and

other necessities to gaza is a serious violation of international law and will do nothing but harm innocent civilians. that's the theme. accuse israel of deliberately hurting the innocent. show pictures of gaza; buildings destroyed, no water, no food, no power. forget the atrocities hamas committed. focus on the suffering now being inflicted on the pal sup januaries and exaggerate -- palestinians and exaggerate your claims. zionism is genocide. i've seen that sign at demonstrations. that's deliberately inflammatory and clearly a lie. today on college campuses across the country there'll be a national day of resistance. that word, resistance, suggests that the terrorists are legitimately resisting their oppressors. another lie. in the united states at the moment, there is overwhelming sympathy and support for israel. the latest fox poll shows 68% side with israel, 18% with the palestinians. and this poll was taken from

october 7th-9th, before the worst hamas atrocities were vealed. the socialists want to -- revealed. the socialists want to portray terrorists as victims, atrocities as resistance. the -- of public opinion has only just begun. will cane joining me -- will cain joining me this thursday morning. what do you make of this this transformationsome. >> i think the world and american college campuses, stuart, are largely full of useful idiots. that doesn't mean there's some machiavellian control behind the scenes. here's what i think. i think the idea of dividing the world into oppressor and oppressed is a tool designed to to create a loser's limp in history to give power to those who lost and would rather have won a conquest. the story of human history is conquest. there's no such thing as stolen land are. none of us sprung out from the earth. we all went somewhere seeking game or land and won something

over someone else. that's not to say anihilistic world views, civilizations are not equal. some adhere to morals, some adhere to better humane values, and if you need some instruction book on what's happening in the middle east, identify who is purposefully targeting civilians and identify who is accidentally true the inevitable realities of war experiencing civilian loss. not all civilizations have the same value, and not all are equal. my point is when you see the world divided into oppressor or oppressed, most of them are useful idiots, dumb and racist for that matter. they say, you know what? jews are whiter than palestinians. they're dumb. they're useful idiots who see the world through a racist lens and divide it into oppressor and oppressed. but behind the scenes there's just another power structure that lost conquest that wants to have won, stuart, and is using those useful idiots in a way to usurp current power. this isn't some you topic -- you

taupic vision is. nobody thinks we're going to ride true equity. what they really want is the power, and and they're weaponizing the useful idiots to see the world through this stupid racist lens to transfer to them the next conquest, power. this time through victimmed hood. stuart: well said, will. nicely said. that was good stuff. now, another issue -- >> thank you. stuart: the immediate issue, immediate concern is getting american hostages out. listen to what president biden said about getting those hostages home. roll tape. >> look, the press is going to shout to me and many of you are that, you know, what are you doing to bring these, get these folks home. if i told you, i wouldn't be able to get them home. folks, there's a lot we're doing, a lot we're doing. i have not given up hope on bringing these folks home. but the idea that i'm going to stand here before you and tell you what i'm doing is bizarre.

so i hope you understand how bizarre it would be to try to answer that question. stuart: will, i think he's right in this instance. i don't think he should be outlining his plans as to how he's going to free the hostages. you have to negotiate in secret, you can't do it in public. >> yeah, i agree with that as well. i just hope that it's true that we are doing everything possible, stuart. you know, i mean, we have got a couple now instances where community and private and veteran efforts whether or not be in afghanistan or even in hawaii have exceeded government response. and and i do know that there are, you know, private veteran-led often groups who have already made their way to israel to tie to rescue american hostages. let's hope out of pure patriotism and good hearts and intentions, not because they already see the failure of the american government. i do agree he wouldn't lay are his plans out to see how we're going to rescue americans. stuart: i would like more

clarity on what he's going to do with iran. will cain, always good stuff. thank you, sir. >> thank you. stuart: back to the markets, please. i see the dow is down 80 points. i see the the nasdaq is actually up just a fraction. not that much price change today. lou basenese is with us for the morning, for the hour, as a matter of fact. >> i am. stuart: this cpi number, up 3.7% in the last 12 months, kind of neutral, isn't it? >> i'd say neutral, mixed bag. everyone's looking for a direction strongly one way or the other. i think the fed still has its work cut out for them. i've been on the record saying we're going to get one more hike, and i predict it'll be in november. i think the rise in yields has kind of done some of the work for the feds -- for the fed, so i think it's more likely in december. and interest rate futures are betting on a probability of a 36% rate hike in december, and that's up from 26%. stuart: that would not help the stock market, would it? >> definitely not. you've been very adamant about in this and rightly pointed out as these yields go up, the

stocks are going down. stuart: that is what's happening. talk to me about birkenstock. it was a flop, budget it in. >> yeah,, ugly shoes -- [laughter] they were popular back in the early '90s when i was in high school, they've been around for 250 years. i'm sure it'll be popular once again. but the ipo was a massive flop. priced at $46 and opened at $41. it's one of the worst ipo opens in 100 years, i think in the top 15 worst performers. stuart: is it a bad omen? >> it is, because there were about a hundred companies that were waiting in the wings to go public. you and i talked about this, now this performance? shows investors are not willing to bid up valuations, so i thin- stuart: weren't you bringing some companies to the ipo? >> we are. our parent company came public. we're, you know, hanging, hovering close to our ipo price. you see arm holdings close to its, instacart is well below. but, look, there's a slowdown right now. the the big tech companies that got stuck in the private markets

at ridiculous valuations are trapped there, and i think we're going to see that linger now because we're coming up on thanksgiving, christmas holiday, end of the year holidays. that's not a usually busy time for the ipo market. stuart: lou, stay there, please, if you would for the hour. lauren's back with us. whole mill foods. every time we do this stock, we have to say the makers of spam. [laughter] which i was brought up on. lauren: -- the s&p 500 with a 9% decline on track for its lowest class in five years' time. i'm not sure what's going on. glenn weston is down about 8-9% as well. pepsico, coca-cola, there's a staples selloff, and it's pretty extreme. we also have to do to ozempic. is this the fear factor that's starting to hit some of the packaged food companies? stuart: you brought that back? lauren: i'm trying when i can. stuart: right after world war ii, the brits were starving. the americans sent spam over to feed us, and i as a young man lived on spam. >> you're welcome.

hi, i'm jason and i've lost 202 pounds on golo. so the first time i ever seen a golo advertisement, i said, "yeah, whatever. there's no way this works like this." and threw it to the side. a couple weeks later, i seen it again after getting not so pleasant news from my physician. i was 424 pounds, and my doctor was recommending weight loss surgery. to avoid the surgery, i had to make a change. so i decided to go with golo and it's changed my life. when i first started golo and taking release, my cravings, they went away. and i was so surprised. you feel that your body is working and functioning the way it should be and you feel energized. golo has improved my life in so many ways.

i'm able to stand and actually make dinner. i'm able to clean my house. i'm able to do just simple tasks that a lot of people call simple, but when you're extremely heavy they're not so simple. golo is real and when you take release and follow the plan, it works. stuart: harvard university

students and groups are trying to backtrack on their support of a letter blaming israel for the mass slaughter of its own people by hamas terrorists. at least a dozen business executives want to know the names of these students so they won't hire them. bill bennett with us this morning. bill is a harvard alum. what happened to your school, bill? >> you know, the motto of harvard, veritas. truth. [laughter] truth. the truth has been disregarded for the sake of ideology. and, by the way, those students who have changed their opinions have not changed their opinions based on seeing what the truth is, they've changed their opinions because they're worried about losing their jobs. that's a very different proposition. look, when the university faculties decided that ideology was more important than truth, this is where the corruption began. and this is nothing more powerful on a mind than an ideological conviction, an ideological commitment that keeps you from seeing the truth.

and i'm sorry to say that's what happened at harvard. stuart: and other universities, other elite universities. >> yes, sir. stuart: across the country, around the world. >> yes, university of washington. yep, yep. australia, university of washington as you had on earlier with jason and, no, universities everywhere. this is part of the culture of the -- cult of the universities. julian benda in the 1920s wrote a book called "the the treason of the intellectual," and he was prescient about what would occur, and it has occurred now. you know, when we look at these to polls, stuart, you know, 18% are not on the side of the jews. 18 of americans. -- 18% of americans. where are they? how could they possibly not be on that side? it's because they've had the, quote, benefit of a higher education. stuart: perhaps a more important subject to talk about, bill with, is a.c.t. scores have fallen to the lowest level in 32 years. >> yeah.

stuart: why is that? >> yes. stuart: maybe the pandemic played a role, but is something else going on? >> it's time we stopped blaming the pandemic on everything. these numbers were heading down before the pandemic, went down during the pandemic and have gone down since the pandemic. look, the schools stopped teaching the fundamentals. one of the reasons is back to the colleges. when the colleges stop requiring tests -- stopped requiring tests and standards and for students to know things, guess what? the schools decided not to teach them. so there's a synergy there that matters. yeah, you're right. in the long run, this may be more important. the chinese are studying calculus, our kids are struggling with algebra at the same age. we've got to fix this, we've got to fix it soon. school choice, improved content, much more accountability in the system. stuart: and, please, deunionize our public schools, if that would be possible. >> yeah, that, that would help.

but if you can't, then get out and get to a charter school and get to another kind of school is. you know, these -- there are a lot more choices for americans than there were before. and one thing that covid did was point up what the interest of the teachers' unions were, and that is the interest of teachers, pocketbook interests of teachers, vacation interests of teachers, not the learning and well-being of students. and that is a shame. that is a real shame. stuart: it is the, indeed. bill, thanks for being on the show today. come back soon, please. >> yes, sir. veritas, truth. stuart: indeed. i'd forgotten that. thanks very much, appreciate it. >> yes, sir, you bet. stuart: black smoke can be seen rising in gaza city again as israel continues its airstrike, strikes, plural. mike tobin on the ground in israel. what are you seeing there today? >> reporter: well, the sun is going down right now, and as you mentioned, the smoke is coming up as soon as the sun goes down,

rockets come out on the gaza strip. the airstrikes go back in. we've seen strikes, aftermath really of strikes in the port of gaza. some of the video's getting out. if you remember, this was a naval operation as well, you know, this terrorist attack of october 7th. they came by land, sea and air. the idf is noting some of the targets that have been hit, specifically mohamed abu shalma. commanders were able to seize armament, naval weaponry, they said underground equipment. you remember hamas has built a network of tunnels underneath the gaza strip. a number of operatives who have been killed up and down the length of the gaza strip. and one of the things that you probably notice now from the political leadership all the way down through the army is an effort by israel to link hamas to the isis. there's even a hashtag trending

right now, hashtag hamas is isis. and when they go into these places, when they go into the operatives' homes and even some of the aftermath of some of the most horrible massacres of october the 7th, they note that isis flags have been found in that area. as far as the outside of the gaza strip the, the israel side of the border, we're there right now. in fact, at the moment i'm at an israeli checkpoint. but everywhere up and down the gaza strip there is israeli armament ready to go, israeli personnel, personnel carriers. the howitzers continue to pound away throughout the night. the tanks are ready to roll as soon as they get the order. the idf has said that the next phase of the operation is ready to begin without defining the next phase. it's it's certainly a strong hint that the ground operation is ready to begin. the siege of gaza is severe. crossing into egypt is closed as well as all of the crossings into israel. they are out of fuel, out of

power, some possibles -- panels are continuing to supply power, but the energy minister for israel says the siege won't be lifted. a light switch won't be turned on, a hydrant won't be opened, a fuel truck will not enter gaza until the hostages are released. stuart? stuart: mike toe pinker thank you very much. -- mike tobin. trying to limit kids to social media sites without parental permission. ashley, what are they doing? ashley: some new legislation being promoted by new york governor kathy hochul is meant to protect kids from targeted algorithms on social media sites, sites which which try to keep users engaged for as long as possible by offering up in some cases streams of extreme and sometimes violent content. the legislation would require parental permissions for kids to access parts of apps such as tiktok, instagram and youtube that are controlled by an algorithm. it would be the responsibility of the tech companies to come up with software to make that

possible. also a second proposed bill would stop online sites from collecting and sharing personal data on minors millions they ged consent, and for kids under the age of 13, that must come from a parent. stu. stuart: thanks very much, ashley. what do you think about this, lousome. >> i'm the father of two teenagers, i've seen the coma scroll that goes on. i think more needs to be done. legislation to prevent parental consent, it's my parental responsibility to be involved in their lives and know what's going on, but i think we need to have sarbanes-oxley for social media companies. stuart explain that. >> sarbanes-oxley made executives of financial companies personally liable for their results, right? to prevent accounting fraud. section 230 of the communications act absolves any social media company from responsibility on their platform. we need to change that. make facebook, twitter, tiktok

responsible for the content and watch how quickly it gets cleaned up. stuart: but you know what would happen, you just bring in the lawyers. an avalanche of -- >> sometimes, there's lawyers watching out us. sometimes lawyers are good. in this case we know the debilitate thingfects of social media on teenagers, particular particularly teenage girls. it's not just legislation that solves it, we need parental responsibility, but legislation that a backs it up. stuart: you make a good case. not wad at all. defense secretary lloyd austin expressed concerns that the u.s. cannot support -- claims we can help both israel and the ukraine at the same time. jennifer griffin break withs it down from the pentagon next. ♪ ♪

getting ready to fly again. the stock has maybe another 50-60 upside to get back to pre-pandemic levels. it was on the move in a positive move, now it turned a little bit negative. they're showing robust demand which they expect to continue, they had a record quarter of revenue. if anyone's known recently, you know the airports are absolutely swamp. i fly on a weekly basis, and i can tell you that the only thing that could cut and put a demand in profits for delta, which were up 35% this quarter, is rising oil prices. so i think, you know, that's the counterbalance. but the valuation, where the stock's trading on the chart, it looks compelling. i'm considering it. that's not a recommendation to buy yet, but it is something i'm looking at. stuart: one very famous investor said how do you make a million dollars? well, you put a billion dollars into an airline, and you end up with a million. i'm just prejudiced against airlines, that's what it is. >> that's fair. stuart: domino's pizza, you like 'em? >> i don't like the pizza, and i don't like the stock either. if you're a true italian, i

don't know how you can say you like the pizza. [laughter] but the -- if you look at the fundamentals, the the company had boon times during the pandemic. they're phasing -- facing rising labor costs, i just think -- they've reported weaker are result, and i think it's a stock that's going to struggle to get out of its own way. stuart: you like novo nordisk and eli lilly -- >> the weight loss drugs. the trend is your friend, right? these are two stocks that are up 48% is and 66% year to date respectively. only 1% of americans are currently prescribed one of these weight loss drug, that's going to go up to 7-10% in the next decade, that's a compelling momentum trade to take a look at. this is, obviously, the tailwind is there for these stocks whereas you're seeing a headwind in food stocks because of these ozempic weight loss drugs which i think is totally overblown. stuart: i agree. >> there's 1% of the population on that, do you know how many

people are now smoking marijuana and getting the munchies? [laughter] we get a counterbalance of the weight loss and marijuana. stuart: got it. thanks, lou. defense secretary addressedded concerns on whether or not the u.s. can support both israel and the ukraine. jennifer griffin with us. can we support both at the same time, jennifer? >> reporter: well, defense secretary lloyd austin spoke the morning from nato headquarters after two days of meetings with defense, nato defense ministers to talk just about that, about ukraine and israel. >> make no mistake, we can and will stand by israel even as we stand by ukraine. the united states can walk and chew gum at the same time. >> reporter: israel's defense minister gave opening remarks to nato's defense leaders today at nato headquarters in brus wells. he briefed, quote, i briefed the nato meeting of defense ministers in brussels on developments in the war against

it wasn't the only one, member family of mine. that got the call to join in. pretty much everybody of that age in my family did, and everybody went. you have to understand how resilient and how united the israeli people are. 150% of the people that were called to reserve to get drafted joined it. so everybody is united against this common enemy that is an enemy of israel and of the united states. stuart: i get the impression from talking to people like you in israel who have gone through this experience that your country is united and enraged at what's happened to you. is that an accurate description? >> it really is. enraged because this particular massacre needs to be looked at through the prism of 300, 500 years -- 3500 years of jewish persecution. this is just another one of these pogroms, holocausts, mass murder that we've been going through in the past millennias.

and, yes, everybody is enraged not -- it's impossible to not be enraged by the sights that are coming out from key withouts -- kibbutz, from the scene atta nature party. every single person in the country that israel, in israel which is a tiny, tiny country, every single person is personally affected by this tragedy. and the world should be i outraged. and of to have people that are qualifying this and saying, yeah, but, but why did it happen, there's no why it happened. why it happened is because hamas is isis and the taliban. they are the same ideology. the other thing is this: israel is committed to destroying hamas. israel's going to destroy hamas the same way the united states destroyed isis. and this is just what's going to happen. they decided to go full force out k ask they though what the repercussions are going to be. but we have to be careful about this ideology, because it's very difficult to kill an ideology, and that is what we need in the west to be extraordinarily careful about and notice when it

keeps popping up, because with it's going to keep popping up in the muslim world, this radical ideology. it's going to keep popping up. so hamas is over. but the ideology, we need to keep an eye on it. stuart: i believe you work with an organization called israel on-campus coalition. and i believe that -- >> yes. stuart: -- that operation tries to the counter the other side of the fence on our campuses. is that what you do? >> absolutely. i work with a lot of organizations. israel on-campus coalition is one of the best ones that i work with. and what it does, what we've been doing for a very long time is warning that this anti-semitism on campuses, which is manifested as anti-zionism, is going to cause a tragedy. so we have been worrying that there's been a dehumanization and vilification of israel and israelis and zionism as a movement that will allow for a massacre to occur because we knew the combination of this

grooming of the american public opinion to think that israel actually committing a genocide which is nothing but a blood libel partnered and coupled with murderous islamic doctrine that was lurking on israel's border. and we knew, me and a lot of other organizations active on campus, we see all these bds activations, we saw all these apartheid weeks, we saw these conferences at penn university that were spewing anti-zionism and anti-semitism, and we knew that these two things together are a recipe for disaster. and, sadly, this disaster is unfolding right now in israel as we speak. stuart: noa, thank you very much for presenting a true and accurate picture of what's going on in israel. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me. stuart: thank you, ma'am. >> will do, thank you. stuart: sam bankman-fried's ex-girlfriend, caroline ellison, back in court. attorneys plan to put the blame

stuart: sam bankman-fried's ex-girlfriend, caroline ellison, is back in court today. kelly o'grady live at the courthouse. all right, kelly, what do you expect to hear todaysome. >> reporter: oh, i expect the defense to rip into her, stuart. they're really trying to pin this all on her. and we're expecting this to request get really dramatic, especially after how yesterday ended. so towards the end of the day ellison actually broke down on the stand, and through tears she shared the stress of the day leading up to the collapsing. she was relieved when she finally could stop lying, and the witness box was prepared with a tissue box and a water for her. today she arrived as cool as a

cucumber, she's clearly used to the media frenzy. she is not making eye contact with sbf, and the prosecution has accused sbf of attempting to intimidate her while on the stand. the prosecution shared concerns about the defendant's reaction to her testimony. he's been shaking his head and even scoffing at one point. today thus far the defense is taking -- painting a very different picture than what we got from the prosecution. they've gotten ellison to anytime there were times early on when sbf really didn't engage with alameda research, and she was in charge of accounting directly and lobbied to be the sole see crow when her co-ceo left. that's very different from the flavor we got from the prosecution. yesterday we heard sbf ordered caroline alleged wily to doctor balance sheets. thus far the defense is focused on her tenure early on versus when sbf was heavily involved later on. now, stuart, we just learned that she actually faces the same sentence as sbf, 110 years

behind bars, and she's testifying in exchange for leniency. so really at this point it's he said/she said. who is the jury going to believe, and do you think she's saying anything in exchange for not being behind bars. back to you. stuart: it's a courtroom battle. kelly, thanks very much, indeed. florida congressman is currently in israel helping evacuate americans, congressman cory mills will join us next. ♪ ♪

♪ finish. stuart: lawmakers are pushing to refreeze the $6 billion worth of iranian funds that were released as part of a prisoner swap. hillary vaughn on capitol hill. does this have bipartisan support? >> reporter: institute, there is. in fact -- stuart, there is. in fact, this attack on israel by hamas terrorists has really put president biden's decision to unfreeze that $6 billion in iranian cash under a microscope. bipartisan support growing in the senate to refreeze the money so iran does not have access to out. banking committee chairman senator scherr -- sherrod brown and senator bob casey from

pennsylvania, two democrats who have said it's time to tie this money back up. republicans turning up the pressure on senate majority leader chuck schumer to let senators vote on it. >> a bill should come on the senate floor to freeze the $6 billion and make the democrats object to that. i can't believe that they would do it. i would hope that we could come together, republicans and democrats, and say we do not want $6 billion going to the number one state sponsor of terrorism that backs hamas who just committed these atrocities. i hope we can do that. >> reporter: but in the house, not all democrats think freezing the funds is necessary. >> well, it is effectively frozen right now. it has not been given to iran. there would be a very detailed vetting process to insure that it goes to the people, the iranian people, not9 to the government. >> reporter: biden officials have repeatedly insisted this money can be refrozen at any

time. treasury officials reportedly telling house democrats today that that money is, quote, not going anywhere, and now cbs is reporting that there apparently is a quiet understanding that has been reached between the u.s. and qatar to not actually release that $6 billion that the u.s. transferred to them, iran's oil profits. stuart? stuart: by the way, or hillary, nice job with rashida tlaib. i'm sure you know that. >> reporter: thank you. i appreciate that. stuart: florida congressman cory mills is currently in israel trying to help evacuate americans. the congressman joins us now. i have to ask, how do you get them out, congressman? do you fly them out, or do you have to take a car to the jordanian border? >> well, to be honest, stuart, i wish it was so easy as we could fly them out. many of these individuals that we're getting out of the country has been waiting for four days, in some cases i heard from a family today they've been waiting six days to try and get

out of the country. so what we're trying to do is, and i'm going to different locations each day in israel, i went to nazareth for one day, i went to tiberius, jerusalem, we'll be looking at tel aviv and other areas closer to the impacts, and we just continue to try. i'm sitting on the border right now and very proud to announce that we with just got 45 more americans out just now, an hour and a half ago. i had 32 yesterday, 45 today. and i'll start with this, as i ended yesterday, if joe biden and the administration's unwillinged to do their jobs, members like myself and my colleagues will step up and do it for them. stuart: we're not talking about getting hostage as out now, these are people simply trapped in israel and want to come back to the united states. how many have you gotten out so far? >> so i got 32 out yesterday and i just got 45 out about an hour ago. stuart: okay. forgive me, sir, but i'm going to change the subject, going to pivot to the drama in washington. congressman steve scalise has

been nominated for house speaker, but we are told he doesn't have the 217 votes he needs to be formal ally made the speaker. -- formally made the speaker. it looks like a stalemate, congressman. not good for the republican party. >> well, again, democracy is one of those things that can be messy. i think that every single individual has the right to represent 750,000 plus constituents and what their constituents want. the whole point about being an elected member to congress is that you represent the people's voice. and if the people's voice tells you that they want congressman jim jordan or congressman steve scalise, then that's what you should be doing, carrying out the will of the people. i'm sure we can get to conference, we can have these discussions, we can lay out the salient points as to why one would be more beneficial. in my personal opinion, i think they're both great leaders. i've endorsed congressman jim jordan, but i think they're both more than equipped to be able to face some of the challenges that we're dealing with when it comes to fiscal responsibility, open

borders, helping to get an economic growth strategy plan which we're not doing yet. it's time to get a real leader who's going to lead from the front. stuart: can you vote in the speaker election whilst you're in israel? >> no, unfortunately, we -- i'm not able to vote, but i'm also very proud that we voted for the rule to stop the proxy voting that was going on. my bigger thing though, to be honest, stuart, i had a chance to sit there and listen to people bicker back and forth and and air their grievances or actually do something. when i was elected, i thought it was to help one, your top priority is the protect the safety and security of americans in the country. that's part of our sworn oath. and part of that constitution is the safety of americans. and so when i looked at my priorities, what mattered most and i had the capability to do it, how could i not come out here and is tie to help americans stranded, trapped or the 9-year-old boy that i helped yesterday or the 6-year-old little girl, evie, that i just helped? these are the things that are mattering to the american

people. we can squabble all day long about speakers, but right now we have americans that are trapped. this is the second time since 2021. stuart: cory mills, great job. thanks very much for being with us. come and see us again soon. thank you, sir. >> thank you, sir. stuart: # 1:5. okay -- 11:54. here is the thursday trivia question. it's a good one. don't look it up. which of the following is not a symbol on the periodic table of elements? tc, nb, y, r? the answer -- [laughter] well, my guess after this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ every day, businesses everywhere are asking: is it possible? with comcast business... it is. is it possible to help keep our online platform
