yesterday. show me big tech, please. a mixed picture and apple and alphabet up a little. microsoft and amazon and nvidia are down. the yield is moving up and now this, i want to talk about harry and meghan as in prince harry and meghan markle, the duke and duchess of sussex. i was in london last week with the tourists and stood outside of the gates of buckingham palace, the prince's former home. we haven't heard much from them. they're not happy. they need to be noticed. publicity is their end game and attention is their live blood. tuesday of this week, here in america, it was national voter registration day. the couple live in california marked the day by having all their staff write personal letters encouraging people to vote. civic engagement they write is

at the heart of the more just and equitable world. just as the looterrers were going out, oprah win friendsatfoxnews.com was interview -- the duchess will never ever live that down. the vailed endorsement of harris will move the needle and celebrity endorsements don't bring many votes, especially if the celebrity is fading from the scene. it's sad, a woke couple desperate to stay relevant and failing. california guy steve hilton with me this morning. steve, i wanted to be light hearted here, but i felt sad.

you know what i mean? jaire >> a couple of things on that, stuart. tuesday was national constitution day, and it makes us remember that there's a constitutional propriety of these people still maintaining that they want perks and privileges from the royal family and we know we don't have in england, you were just there, a written constitution, but it's a very clear rule that the royals don't get involved in parties and politics and another example of them wanting to have it both ways. the perks of being royal without any of the responsibilities or adherence to the rules. why are they popping up begun and last time we heard, she was sending out homemade jam. that was the next move i thought. she was going to be a jam maker and about cozy home making and

this? as you said, 71% support in the latest poll and hardly any money behind prop 36, hardly any advertising and we haven't seen that kind of onslaught and on the other side, you've got almost the entire democratic establishment in california against it, including gavin newsom, most of the democrats in sacramento yet the public aren't falling for it. that's a huge margin for a initiative that actually hasn't been promoted very hard. it's a race to watch in november. we're focused on the presidential election and george gascon in many ways, the symbol of the far left pro crime ex-peoplism of the democrats and district attorney of los angeles. he's facing an election and he's way behind his challenger, nathan hockman. if george gascon is kicked out in november, as i hope he is and so many in california do, that's another sign things are really changing here. stuart: you're leading the

charge for serious change in california, aren't you? >> i am. i'm up and down the state all the time speaking to different audiences, business organizations, grassroots organizations, some republican political organizations of course. and every write go, people are sick of what shall everywhere i go, people in all political spectrums are sick of what's happening. this is a community that's been crushed for no good reason and we're importing all the -- nearly 70% of the oil and gas we use in california is now being imported on giant super tankers, massively polluting the environment a instead of producg here in which we could do and create jobs and more. the one rule democrats party is too long and people are waking up and they want change. stuart: steve hilton, you're will you are the and have a great weekend. see you next week. >> thank you, stu stuart: back

on a long term basis for investors. stuart: south africa is a capitalist society and has the rule of law and fits the two criteria. it's rather -- in africa that can do that. >> yeah, and it's dirt cheap when compared to american stocks, stuart. trading about 12 times earning ands nvidia is two or three times that, but you have to look long term and we've talked about this, there's been periods of time when international investing has been the area americans wanted to be in and not been that way for quite some time and names like etf that tracks the south african stock market and it's gold and it's tough to be a contrarean and not investing in areas that everyone is and this is one area you're not buying the top and i can't know about nvidia and smci. >> ishares south africa eza. thank you, jonathan. see you again soon. >> thank you, stu.

the whole world was watching this spot 45 years ago and it was that reactor on the right and before there was chernobyl and hiroshima and the one on the right is reactor 2. that's what suffered a meltdown and we talk about having a melt down. it was a literal nuclear meltdown with a problem with the cooling system and shut in 1967 on the left is reactor one and two here. that one operated -- came back online after the accident and operated till 2019 when constellation energy determined it was not profitable and so it was shut down and ai changed everything and high appetite and

power for 800,000 homes and new power coming online and there's a question about the needs of power -- for power for ai and for folks like you and me and this would be a separate issue and just take all the power. and go for 20 years and it would start in 2028. took awhile to get this back and recommissioned and according to eia and that's going for the first time that a nuclear power reactor decommissioned and the process wasn't completed and it was started but first time that's ever come back online, there was another power plant in michigan and palisades power plant in michigan was shut down and it's now about to come back online and that was not decommissioned. you know, this was in some ways

as you know poster child for nuclear hazard and now the poster child for veracious appetite for artificial intelligence. stuart: that's nuclear energy and that's what it is. big deal. jeff flock, have a great weekend. see you next week. now, my next guest says administration create ago shock wave going for john sabo joining me now. john, let's talk about fracking. i don't care what camptokamala harris says about fracking and how are so many rules and regulations impose that had would make fracking impossible. if she wins, don't have a ban fracking but propose regulations to make it irrelevant. are you with me? >> absolutely. this is something we've been

seeing for what's been an absolute shock wave for the industry and it really started and slowed down more activity and gathering for more in oil and gas and putting food on the table and going for that and going to flip-flop and none of us are buying it and paying very close attention to that. stuart: there's a great deal of gas available in the state but you can't get it out because you can't build pipelines. energy infra-truckture that won't let it be -- infrastructure that won't let it be built. >> absolutely. the permits to get this accomplished and get that infrastructure and we have choke holds throughout the country that's really holding us back. i think it's interesting you guys having the ai conversation earlier on the show because within the next six years, our compound annual growth rate from electric power demand perspective is going to trip and will that's in the next six

areas so even 2028 right now talking about nuclear reactor coming back online. that that is a long time from now and we'll see a lot more power than even before. we have clean burning natural gas right underneath us and one of the largest areas in virginia. 160 miles from the appalachia and we can get these pipelines run and we can power this with what's under our feet right now and get people to work. stuart: by the way, john, was there ever a serious effort from the administration to replace the jobs lost when the keystone pipeline was canceled? >> no, and it's really gone the other way. you know, we've seen permits and from a federal land perspective and had a choke hold there and you guys were trying to get the pipeline infrastructure in and going for them and lng exportation and that's one of the biggest issues we're facing

right now and our folks in europe they have the russian pipeline coming through ukraine. that's expiring through the end of this year. you'll have january and february of this year in europe without gas, immediately right now we should be ramping up the lng and getting folks in the hainesville and east texas back to work. stuart: you believe trump will be better for your industry? >> absolutely. i mean, immediately you'll see a better sentiment from folks in the industry and give people the opportunity to put food on their table. you know, we've got some of the hardest working people you'll ever find in this industry across the board. innovation and technology that we've been able to incorporate here over the last ten years has been astounding across all sides of the sector. the commitment to the environment has been very, very good from a mission per spect and i have reducing that substantially across the board. there's new technology that's coming out every day and increasing our efficiency going to reduce our footprint and really doing amazing things and

i think that story needs to be told more to everybody. stuart: john sabo, thank you very much for being on the show and telling us a very good story. come back soon. thank you very much. >> thank you. stuart: now this, a ten republican governors have announced a coalition to fight clean energy mandates. madison alworth with us. how are we going to do it? >> they teamed up to join a coalition and government coalition for energy choice is the name. they're tired of federal mandates decreasing choice and there's a couple goals to push in the individual states and aiming to reduce regulations around energy production and imposing energy mandates and energy structure and manage energy in the environment. now, like you said there's ten governors and see them there and going for louisiana and virginia glen youngkin and more and they're all republicans in total, 24 governors reached out to and this list could grow but it's not gone over well with

environmental activists like the virginia chapter and going to see who told the hill that energy choice is a more expensive natural gas projects. this is real incentive for governors and looking at prices and skyrocketing over the last ten years and electricity prices have gone up 33% in the u.s. and you look at heavily regulated energy states like california where they're really pushing clean energy. it's gone up 43% in ten years. stuart: that's a political issue. madison, thank you very much indeed. this just in today, the house has just passed a bill that requires major presidential candidates to say secret service protection as a sitting president. 405 and 26 members were absent for the vote and cops after of course the second assassination attempt of donald trump. going to get protection. check those markets, please. still have red ink. not a lot.

bitcoin guy. lawmakers say legislation to regulate crypto could come syrian than we they felt madison, how soon? >> before the end of the year. i think this is something the industry wants because really at this point, it comes to regulation and it's been a lack of regulatory certainty for the entire industry and sec chair gary gensler taking a regulation through enforcement approach. so essentially gensler and the sec sue crypto companies as a way to regulate rather than creating legislation, parameters for congress and could soon change. the expectation during the lame duck session after election, senators expecting multiple bills and one, eftc regulatory oversight for commodities and an agency regulated crypto. it's more likely to pass if trump wins because he's really positioned himself adds crypto candidate but not everyone likes the choice of the cftc. we're hearing from some that it's the smallest financial

regulatory agency and it's regularly underfunded and understaffed so there's concern there. at this point, it's probably better than moving through court cases. stuart: getting into it after the election. >> that's right. stuart: what happens after the election. election. madison, great stuff. thank you indeed. tens of thousands of port workers could go on strike soon. a strike of the size right before the holidays could really hurt the economy. lydia hu brings us the latest from the port of new jersey. that's next. ♪
