stuart: good morning,

10:00 o'clock eastern to the money a lot of red on the left-hand side of the screen the dow is down 70 points, look at the nasdaq 170-point, shall be big tech, microsoft it is a big winner, up 13 bucks 4% that is a dow stock, the big game puts extra 100 points onto the dow. in other words without microsoft the dow would be negative, google having the worst day in a year, google on the list, down 8.3%, take a look at the ten year treasury yield moving up significantly, 4.89% that's where it is now, two-year well above 5% you are at 510 as we speak, the latest read on new home sales, not existing, new ones. >> so much stronger than expected they sold at the seasonally adjusted annual rate

of 759,000 in the month of september that is up from august which is revised to 676,000. as for the price, median price $418,800, that went down from the month of august. as you have rates that a 23 year high for a mortgage, is that starting to break the back of the price of homes. stuart: maybe. >> i'm being overly optimistic. stuart: that is it. now this. this is not the time to go wobbly, margaret thatcher used to say that when a colleague turn soft under pol policies preprinted abiding to wobble over the war on israel, his rejected calls for cease-fire has regulated the party. hilary clinton, she was tackled for not opposing biden. in the squad will go all out in

their support for hamas. this is a difficult thing for the president because hamas holds over 200 hostages, including some americans. biden backtracks on crushing hamas the left looks powerful, the terrorist when in israel loses, this is no time to go wobbly on terror. same with iran confront don't appease. american soldiers were injured in drone attacks orchestrated by iran's proxies, they are attacking us, watch the response, secretary of state blinken threatens iran with a decisive response, any backing away from that would be taken as another sign of biden's weakness, that is at the heart of all of this, our president as seen as weak, we cannot go back and reset that. we must advance, go forward, take the action to those who challenge us, anything less encourages or intimates. he is under great pressure from his own party to wobble, retreat on gaza and hamas, iran and the mullahs, 1230 eastern will find

out where he's headed he takes questions from the media, first time since the war on israel began. second hour of "varney" just getting started. ♪. stuart: liz peek joining us this wednesday morning. will president biden plink if iran starts to push back some more. >> i think he's already blinked, he starts out wobbly there is no prize there, what i mean by that, iran has been behind this attack from day one. it's been behind all of the attacks from hezbollah, the hoodies, et cetera and joe biden did not call them out and still hasn't he talked about in the oval office address and that we've been holding them accountable, no we hasn't he been funding iran as we all know by loosening the sanctions and allowing oil exports to increase. i think he got himself in a lose lose situation and a week ago,

the jury was out on the wisdom of going to israel, making him the face of the conflict. now it looks like joe biden is pulling the strings. if it goes badly it's good to be joe biden's head on the line not necessarily benjamin netanyahu or the other people writing the reaction israel. there was ironic thing up on twitter saying emperor asked for cease-fire after pearl harbor, that's what it looks like to israel, they had a horrific thing happen, no excuse whatsoever, terrible death and destruction and we are calling for cease-fire or people in our country are, what are they thinking, that is unconscionable also going in and having an enormous civilian deaths result from under attack in gaza also unconscionable, a terrible situation and i don't know what the outcome will be and i don't know the right path forward.

stuart: don't wobble for sure. stuart: you have an op-ed about liberals being surprised about anti-semitism and intolerance at elite institutions like col colleges. are the liberals finally waking up to this. >> i think what really happened and what is terrific, on the awful lot of people who been watching the leftward drift radicalization of our campuses because they're seen the terrible protest in favor of not just palestinians but hamas in some cases, they are saying enough and thank heavens. one study eyesight in this piece, 40 of the most prestigious schools there is not one republican teaching history or journalism, not one in 40 schools that's an astonishing statistic and it's accurate and does not surprise me at all. stuart: not one in 40 universities with not a single republican teaching history or journalism.

>> where you think this incredible journalistic vilest comes from it's a fulfilling cycle. the only language the universities understand his donations, money, we are trustees and administrations who basically kowtow to the left for 20 years, allowed students to run the asylum which i always thought was completely insane, they would not be students if they knew what they were supposed to be doing and now finally getting a little bit of a hit in the pocketbook, it's going to take a while because some of the harbor endowments, $52 billion will take a while but the prestige in the reputational impact in the money eventually will take a toll. stuart: one quick, i think it's my generation's fault and respect. i'm a baby boomer the 1960s and a lot of radicalized people stayed in the colleges to become professors they carried on the radical tradition. >> it was because of the vietnam

draft. you would not be drafted if you are teacher in a college or school so they decided to become teachers, the hired people like them, anti-war leftists, here we are, it took a while but people are waking up. stuart: let's get to the 2024 race, a new poll shows trump and biden tied it a potential rematch, tell me more. >> the usa today the rematch at a dead heat 37 - 37. of rfk junior is on the ticket as you see he gets 13% support, that takes votes from trump, how much so, trump leads without rfk by a very slim margin 41 - 39, what is the bottom line, third parties are spoilers this time around a little bit more so and i think voters want new options. a change of pace and changing direction a change of mentality and it looks like they're not getting it. stuart: i'm not sure a third party could get on the ballot in

all 50 states. >> what about a bipartisan ticket, 26% say they would favor one republican one democrat on the ticket. it doesn't always work like t that. stuart: let's get back to safe ground, the stock market, dow industrial down 130, look at the nasdaq, down nearly 200 points, david zuzu ski with me this morning. tomorrow morning 8 830 eastern time the new figures on the economy. it looks like it's expanding at a 4.2% rate that is a fast rate of expansion. if that is the number tomorrow do you think interest rates are going up? >> great to be with you this morning. if we get a higher gdp number there is no question that the resiliency of the united states of america has surprised many including myself as far as where we are right now. there is some resilience and

great strength going on but i want to go back to the congressional budget office and some of the things that they said that will give us an idea of where interest rates might go we know about the 33 training dollars of debt. if we look at what's coming in versus our debt we have 26 trillion of net present debt. if we look at social security and medicare, your baby boomer 10000 today retiring that is $120 trillion according to the congressional budget office this is not a loosey-goosey organization that's $146 trillion of debt that we have to service. i consider that a significant issue especially when we understand we have a deficit of 2 trillion right now trying to service the debt. will interest rates go higher, i think the u.s. dollar is getting weaker and we see that now specifically in the fact that we have to sell $22 billion a day

worth of new treasury issues at a time when our budget is not looking as good, potential default in november 15 if we don't get this thing passed and ultimately we lost reliable buyers like china and japan and a lot of the institutions out here that even buying the long dated debt. if the sellers want to sell more and the buyers want to buy, the price goes up, i think the treasuries will see much higher rates in the future if that continues. stuart: higher rates of that continues, bad for stocks, case closed, i'm out of time i would like to discuss this more, that was good stuff. we will see you again soon. lauren is looking at the movers, $28 a share. >> goldman sachs credit from 28 - 42 a haircut $5 coming of california suspending the cruise, robo taxi service, risk to public safety or so they say. stuart: that was in san

francisco. >> and then you have the cost of the uaw strike at one of the biggest plans in texas, my question is let's say gm caves and they agree to the 30% price hike, the uaw workers get that for 40 years, what happened after the contract is there any likelihood that general motors or ford or stellantis can continue to pay wages like that. they might get what they want for one deal. i would be scared after four years. stuart: i think the looking at 25% of a wage increase over a four-year period that is a substantial increase and it looks like they're probably going to get it to, then what happens after that, huge question, what happens to profitability in the next four years. good stuff, gap. >> i felt like we needed the winner in addition to microsoft, uc shares at an eight-month high wells fargo upgraded to overweight, they see the price going up 32% they love the

turnaround story and they say their inventory is normalizing which means unfortunately fewer sales. gap is great for sales. stuart: i just bought some genes from gap. block, the name of the company. >> former square, paypal down almost 5%, there is a french payment company called world line in paris that shares tanked almost 60% because they/the full year guidance because this economic slowdown, less spending by customers in key markets like germany. so they coughed in these guys are catching a cold. stuart: a french payment company lowers the outlook and a blast american payment companies in the united states. >> a worldwide economy. stuart: now this trump's former chief of staff mark meadows is reversing cost after being granted immunity in the 2020 election case. details on that. senate minority leader whip john

stuart: interest rates are rising in the market doesn't like it, nasdaq on 190, dow down 124 points, red ink across-the-board, the leader of hezbollah met with top officials of heads moss and islamic jihad today, the first meeting since the war in israel started. mike tobin is on the ground in

israel, come on in, give us the latest. >> the latest that hamas rockets have found a new target that is the town of a lot, that is significant on the other side on the border with egypt, the red sea and aqaba jordan, this is a place where israelis were going to get away from the rocket fire now that it is, fire, there is no place you hamas out of the gaza strip and hezbollah in the north, there is no place in israel that is outside of the range, israeli defense forces released video of the hamas divers who attempted to filtrate israel last night they picked them up with the radar whatever electronic detection that they have, found the divers in the water, they killed them they killed two of the divers in the water and found the tunnel from which they entered the sea, they blew that up in a weapons storage facility that israel says was used by that particular

hamas cell. the situation in the gaza strip is getting more desperate as airstrikes go when, the un relief agency macy's operations and because they running out of fuel, israel has allowed aid into the gaza strip but it's been restricted to food, food, water and medicine, food is not being allowed because israel believes that hamas will be able to use it for their own war fighting purposes, meantime a strike in aleppo at syria it is said to be out of business, israel will never confirm when they make strikes of the nature but reporting says it was an israeli airstrike that put the airport out of business, israel says iran uses the particular airports, the one in aleppo and damascus to resupply hamas. stuart: thank you very much, senator tom soon joins me now. you just met with americans

being held hostage by hamas do they want a cease-fire. >> they want to get their family members, they were powerful and emotional stories and they want our administration to have a clear eyed focus on getting the americans unaccounted for out of gaza. whoever they can work with and we said the same thing, we need to work with the regional partners into everything that we can to get them out. i think at this point right now, the principal concern, those people in gaza, those americans that are unaccounted for in a healthy administration will stay focused on that and do everything that they can to get them home. stuart: is a very difficult situation and hostage taking is a very effective strategy, certainly in this case, you kinda have a choice, eliminate hamas or get the hostages out, you cannot do both can you? the. >> obviously hamas does this for a reason, this is leverage, they want to use the hostages in

exchange for concession from the israelis or others. the fact of the matter is, hamas has to be eliminated in israel for obvious reasons is very focused on that, they have not only rockets coming in from hamas but the north of hezbollah in their in a perilous situation and it's an exponential threat issue for them, the country cannot exist living side-by-side with the terrorist regime on a daily basis as threatening and attacking with rockets and with a vicious brutal attack that slaughtered 1400 israeli citizens. that is got to be israel's focus at the same time there are to be efforts made. we visited with her folks in the region about our regional partners working to get the american hostages out. hamas could do that today, it is up to them and hopefully they can feel the pressure from some of the regional partners along with the united states and israel and we could see the americans get home. stuart: the united nations called for a cease-fire and president biden has rejected it

saying that would be to the benefit of hamas, are you with the president of rejecting a cease-fire. >> i am, there's no doubt about what happens in the event, the united nations will see that and say that and others in the world who observe what's going on, they need to understand the facts on the ground and what is happened. when we were in israel and use all the stories, videos and images of the horrible atrocious killings by hamas, that is got to be the international community focus and the israelis will do everything that they can to protect innocent life but you cannot avoid dealing with the threat that exists on a daily basis, that is the terror regime whose principal goal is to kill jews in a race israel from the map. stuart: do you support fully the 100 billion-dollar aid package for israel and ukraine? do you support it for both countries?

>> we want to have our input into that, that was a package that came from the white house as you know in the senate wants to make sure we have an opportunity to look at that there are things that we thought we would reprioritize in terms of funding and knockout we would have aborted package included in that that is really important from a national security standpoint and in the last year 159 people on the terrorist watch list coming into the united states across the southern border including 18 in the month of september alone, there are things in the package that the republicans want to have an opportunity to fix and we will see where it goes from there, ultimately i think it's important, we live in a dangerous world as former secretary bob gates has said the holiday from history is over, we need to be engaged and make sure that the world stage is safe for democracy increased ability and not chaos which is what the terrorist groups want. stuart: senator john thune thank you for being with us. paul whelan an american who is being held captive in russia is

when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after the polls closed, the statements are contrary to what the former chief of staff stated in his book that was published a year after he left the white house in which you claim the election indeed was stolen and rigged with the help from allies in the liberal media who ignored actual evidence of fraud, now meadows reportedly telling investigators that he has never seen any evidence of fraud that would undermine the election's outcome, talk about a flip-flop. you're looking at it. the governor of new jersey tears into a school district for canceling all halloween celebrations. wait until you hear why the district decided to pull the plug. college students across the country will stage a walkout today there demanding more from america into support of what they call israel siege of gaza.

extreme sleep deprivation which caused him to do what he did at the cockpit which resulted in his arrest but the subject of what to do about psychedelics is an interesting controversy. in the hands of a physician appropriately prescribing these medications that is not the mushrooms themselves but the other medication form called mtdna has been effective in treating treatment depression and post a mack stress disorder so we'll have to see what the research shows on this. stuart: is this what they're calling micro doses, i don't know what they look like, it's not the mushrooms themselves but is genuine medicine right? >> is ground up mushrooms and people consume them and it synthesizes the pill in dna, i would point out no drug is safe in the age of fentanyl because fentanyl laces many of these drugs. stuart: the administration was

to ban menthol cigarettes but marijuana is okay, how do you justify this, no menthol cigarettes but weed is okay. >> some people are pointing out the intrinsic hypocrisy that people should be encouraged to get free glass pipes to smoke illegal substances and yet menthol cigarettes will be banned, this is been a controversy for 12 years ever since the fda regulated tobacco, a third of all cigarettes consumed our menthol cigarettes but this is seen as a health equity issue because 85% of black american smoke menthol cigarettes that is much higher than the 30% of white people who smoke using menthol, some say this is disproportionately adversely affecting black americans and others say that's exactly who is targeted to help. stuart: is it legit to target racially like this, this is a
