>> i hear people say i'm an undecided voter. my question is what the heck are you undecided about? do you really want four more years of this? >> the regulators don't understand it took a long time to get here. this is actually very competitive market and ai is chipping everything that's happening in terms of where surge is headed. >> people think they're going to hunker down and gets too serious and they call 911. i tellurizes kepts right now, the sheriff's department will not do emergency rooming rescues if winds are over 45 miles per hour. there is still time to evacuate. >> it's the people in the middle and a lot of them, stuart, absolutely want change. they feel like the direction of the country is very much on the wrong track.

stuart: it's 11:00 on the coast and close eye on milton. it's currently a cat 4 storm and it's can wanted to hit tampa bay that area at least between 11:0n tomorrow morning. evacuation orders are in place, mass evacuations actually and governor desantis warned if you have a long distance to travel, it may be too late to get out. people are worried about the debris on the ground from helene and if it's picked up by 100 miles an hour winds, you've bot deadly project tiles. that's a major concern. we have the very latest on milton throughout the show. check the markets, please. not that much action. some green and inflation must remembers out and show me big tech. something of a mixed picture. we have apple, microsoft, amazon and nvidia up.

yield on 10 year moving above the 4% level at 404 right now. now this p you criticize the abdomen ling of the hurricane it's misinformation or disinformation. kamala said they're politicizing these and they should be quiet. wrong. there's concerns about the concerns and aired many public. mott suppressed.

you're not mis--ing the puck lick if you point it out. fema has been diverting money to non-disaster purposes like helping migrants. that is not disinformation. it's the truth. helps explain why fema is running out of money for disasters and it's a huge political issue and needs to be talked about. whether the press secretary was asked why we give $157 million to lebanon and fema is underfunded, karine gene pier said it was disinformation and stormed out. it's out of place. accocalling the trump vance team cruel and it's just plain wrong third hour of "varney & co." is about to start.

stuart: in what world is criticizing the hurricane response misinformation pray tell? >> in democrat world because they're trying to stomp out criticism of the government. stuart, this is not a one off. remember their misinformation council that biden tried to put in place a couple years ago and it was roundly panned as out of george orli or well's 1984 and there's six books and law professors about the law amendment and one defends free speech and the other five making the case and that's going to be amended and free speech is a danger to the country. jonathan turley talks about how that is the essential right of americans is free speech and we

should all support it and democrats don't because they're so afraid as hillary clinton out loud of losing control and this is because of people like you and because of social media and elon musk and all of this stream of lies. >> >> please welcome back the next president of the united states. >> do you nap at all? >> not really. i wish i could. i contested mind. ? a different life. sometimes on a sunday afternoon, yeah. >> i don't understand how my fellow americans, i contested even understand how this election is close. and yes, i'm voting for you. >> the last time i had beer was at a baseball game with coug.

>> does that appear to voters? >> incredible fill failure on te policy front and bill whitaker pointed out on 60 minutes the other night and basically lobbed into this position of being the democrat nominee, has not earned it, no one voted for her to be in the position and there's a reason for that. there's a reason she lost in the 020 pryor mays before the votes were begun she cape out for in 019 was repugnant to the majority of americans. she's an empty vessel and tell her what the polls show and she'll pull it out. i'm in favor of fracking because

i got a win after all pennsylvania, it's a key state and i'm against medicare for all because americans aren't for that it's appalling and talking about nap time. i wish she'd take a long nap between now and election day. that might when a good outcome for all of us. i can't imagine a worse media start if she has the start. heir doing everything to keep her away from the scenes and behind there. stuart: it's a wednesday morning and day before the inflation numbers and solid gain for the dow is mere 200 points and half a percentage point and nasdaq up 71. mark tepper with me this morning.

stuart: take a look at this, a tornado touched down near the florida turnpike in broward county in southern florida. that is a tornado. you can see it very clearly. southern florida, tornadoes. milton is on track to make land fall along florida's gulf coast tonight. short distance evacuations are safe but too late for residents to get on the highway and go long distance. janice dean joining us from the pox weather center. janice, tell me where is milton now and where is it going? >> it's going to make landfall somewhere along the west central coast anywhere from ft. myers up towards the tampa bay area

expecting landfall around midnight tonight and you mentioned tornadoes. that's one of the risks of the landfalling hurricanes and we have counter clock wise motion and friction with land can produce some of the tropical tornadoes and that's what's happening right now and it's a conconfirmed tornado on the wesn side and close to the eastern coast and it's getting the risk of tornadoes and that's ongoing throughout the afternoon and evening. this is the latest advisory for major hurricane making land fall between tampa and ft. myers and sarasota in the cross hairs and exact location is yet to be determined and south of the core is the storm surge what we've been talking about and devastating 12-15-foot storm surge hitting and north of that we have the heavy rainfall upwards of a foot or more on top of over 2 feet of rain they've already received in the last couple of weeks.

here is the latest tracking and the system moving inland and starts to expand. getting wider and much of the state of florida is going to feel at least tropical storm force winds with the core of hurricane-force winds along the vulnerable coastlines here where that storm surge is really going to be the headliner. all these beautiful little beaches and ft. myers and tampa and bradenton here and upwards of 15 feet and that'll completely overtop homes and destroy coastline un-fort fatly. the vulnerable beaches and that's going to be the catastrophe here and that's why so many folks have been ordered to get out because time is

really has rub out in a lot of areas. no evacuations from key west and not asked if evacuate and it's not going to be a hit like they'll experience on the west coast of florida.

stuart: afghan national arrested and charged with plotting an isis-inspired attack on election day in america and living many oklahoma city on a special immigrant visa and he was in the system. how did this happen? >> when you have over 10 million immigrants coming into the unit and impossible to vet them all and you do and allow people on the known terrorist watch list to come on in, yeah, they'll slip through and took only 19 people to perpetrate 9/11. one of the most dangerous times in america coming to terrorism and all due to the biden harris plan and enactivity at the -- inabilityivity at the border. stuart: never a suggestion or admission of a mistake.

she's been in charge for three and a half years and done a couple interviews and no suggestion she did anything wrong or would change -- what have happened over the last three and a half years and surely wonderful are wonderful r we should understand there's responsibility happening here on the biden harris terrorist front in america. >> without a doubt. they're never going to admit it and did it for three and a half years and said the border was under control and lying through their teeth. it was done on purpose. they're getting the results that they want and the fact that they're allowing terrorists in. that's just the by-product. and making america less safe, that's a by-product of their policy.

stuart: kamala harris questioned about threats to america. watch this, congressman. >> which foreign country do you consider to be our greatest adversary? >> i think there's an obvious one in mind which is iran. iran has american blood on their hands. this attack on israel and 00 ballistic missiles -- 200 ballistic missiles. what we immediate to do to ensure that iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power. that is one of my life's priorities. stuart: congressman, many your opinion, which coup triple-demic is the biggest adversary? iran, china, russia? >> let me see. china without a doubt. they're the greatest threat we face and must not have read the memo issued for the last six years by the u.s. government saying that china poses the greatest threat to the united states and china poses the greatest threat to world peace and stability. iran, yeah, they're an enemy of

ours but contested pose myrrh close to the threat that china does and they have the economy and china's military is rapidly building up to be peered to the united states. china has a nuclear arsenal already and so, yeah, this is another -- look, that's another illustration that's clueless and completely clueless and moten way kamala harris should ever be president of the united states and that's a simple layup question and she blew the layup and makes her a dangerous person to be president of the united states. stuart: thank you very much for being with us today, sir. we appreciate it and very best of luck to you in south florida and milton. all right, i want to get back to the markets now. let's look at goggle specifically down $3,000 and department of justice says it is considering a break up of this tech giant as part of an on

going antitrust battle and executives from goggle called doj's recommendation radical and warned that this scale would hurt consumers and american competitiveness and nonetheless it is on the table. google's down $3. now this, melania trump joined the five yesterday. ashley, what did she say? ashley: she was asked if she'd marry donald trump if she knew he was going to be president some day. >> going in slovenia and new york and never know what can happen in life; right. >> would you have married donald trump if you had a crystal ball saying he'd be president? >> huh, that's an interesting question.

in water and the environment. we know that as it comes to water, quality's important and water is very scarce and this is a hydro-plate and up like 50% this year. obviously with the natural disasters and the hurricanes that are going on that's going to bring a lot of that stuff front and center. should unfortunately for the humanitarian reasons but fort mattly for the companies should help them continue to grow and it's because of this stock. stuart: honmy well and going -- honeywell. >> doesn't do anything super exciting but we've been positioning ourself as bit more defensively and uncertainty that's out there and this is your more defensive stock and dividend payer and on top of that, they just made a decision that they're going to spin off a business and advanced material business and cyclical part and

they'll be spinning that off and makes them a more steady eddie and more boring company and something to withstand the possibility of a larger draw down heading into the end of this year and next year. stuart: lauren is at that warehouse in juliette, tennessee. how are they doing it? lauren: designed a robotic army to do a lot of work for the humans and robots in the back ground.

you're growing at 3% and and charles payne looking at it and that's separately and the deficit. >> everyone talking about the data and trump's plan like $3 trillion more than the deficit for harris and i didn't think the experts were getting in trouble for the whole time and let's not forget, it's theoretical and under trump we had tariffs and inflation went down and going for trump cutting corporate taxes and going revenue for the government went up. where that came from and department of defense came up and 28 billion and had something to do with the debt stuff and and the democraticked a menstruation and nutrition services went down $24 billion and paid out less and of course all this money they gave to them and and that's the democrats and

same thing over and over again. listen, this is a big difference and someone said the deficit going up and we're allowed to go with more and that means government spending money like crazy and going for them and needing to make government stock spending money at the rate they want to do that. stuart: harris not going to reduce the deficit. >> she's going to be tried to pick up more on today and going to see google and then get $8 billion to the country and if this is something that makes sense. stuart: i want to talk about your town hall tomorrow and the title is happening. stuart: animal spirits moving with america and the market and
