some degree 403 on the two year, can we check big tech, i think that is an interesting picture emerging, nvidia up again, new hi, apple up again, that is important, alphabet, amazon and microsoft are down. it was quite a show we sold donald trump arrived in north carolina and we ran a lot of tape of him working at mcdonald's, i thought that was a priceless videotape he's quite a candidate. >> a solid weekend in pennsylvania, bucks county. >> that is it for "varney & company", we will be back tomorrow at the regular time 9:00 o'clock in the morning eastern time, time for david asman in for neil. >> yankees or dodgers or does it not mean anything at all. >> yankees for sure, i live in new york city. >> it's great to have the world series, we have the west coast, east coast into legacy teams this will be a hell of a series
12:01 pm
i hope you're looking forward to it from a guy from britain, good to see you, this hour on "coast to coast", president trump is speaking right now in north carolina surveying the devastation of hurricane helene, we will dip into that as events warrant, grady trimble joins us now with the latest on this. >> that is a former president first stop of three and north carolina today we just heard from the former president to be in brief remarks and he says he actually criticized the white house for their response to hurricane helene and if he's elected president then they will do a better job in responding to natural disasters and rebuilding communities just like that one where he is in north carolina, we should point out that north carolina is a key battleground, the fact that the former president has three stops gives you a sense of how important the trump campaign sees the battleground state, it's one that the former president one in 2016 and 2020, now in the fox
12:02 pm
news power rankings is listed as a tossup, as we said this is the first stop of the day looking at the damage, that is in the asheville area, local official said most of the polling sites in the counties affected by helene were open for early in person voting there was concern immediately after the hurricane that it would be hard to get the sites open in time for election day in early voting but it seems they've done a good job doing that. i also want to play sound of lara trump the co-chair of the rnc and she's telling trump supporters to get out there early. >> we want you to bank your vote we don't want you to worry and super long lines on election day and it allows us as a party in the campaign to apply our resources to turn out low propensity voters who may not vote every election cycle, that's how we win this and what we've seen is been massive. >> today stops follow trump's event in pennsylvania over the
12:03 pm
weekend that included a rally in the photoshop at mcdonald's which i'm sure you seen a video and the former president serving up burgers and fries at the fast food to troll vice president harris, he claims she never worked at mcdonald's like she said she does, i mentioned this is the first of three stops in north carolina, this afternoon after this event, the former president will head to the other side of the state he is a big rally in greenville north carolina before attending a faith leaders meeting just outside of the charlotte area. david: thank you very much, meanwhile, light harris is back in the campaign trail the vice president will do three events with the gop representative liz cheney in pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, fox news senior white house correspondent peter doocy has more on that. >> pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin, this is the first time this election cycle that vice president harris visited
12:04 pm
all the blue wall states in a single day, the democratic campaign is calculating that they can win undecided voters with a moderated conversation that they will have kamala harris on the stage talking to liz cheney and everything we can gather it would be the importance of good manners. >> the parable of the good samaritan that we have learned and live a life where in the face in the face of a stranger we see a neighbor but that's not what we see on the other side of this equation. it's constantly about berating people and belittling people and name-calling. >> that's becoming the harris closing argument, less about policy proposal in more comparing the way that she talks with the way that trump talks. >> the very kinds of policies that, light harris is running on, i want to commander-in-chief
12:05 pm
like kamala harris who wants to talk us up and lift us up not now because down every single time they get the microphone the way donald trump does. in pennsylvania here is an liz cheney will regain the new cycle that has been flooded with images of donald trump working a mcdonald's fryer and a drive-through window, cheney still describes herself as a conservative but elected republicans out there making sure nobody confuses vice president harris with the conservative. >> republican supporting her what the hell are you doing your supporting the most radical nominee in the history of american politics. i can't take four more years of this crap, if you support her your supporting four more years of garbage policy. >> when you look at the schedule today, the three blue wall states all back to back to back and reflected urgency by the democratic ticket to try to
12:06 pm
reach people the ballots in the early states are rather in the creek will states are actually being cast early, back to you. david: i have to ask you been following it so closely, last week we had, light harris on fox and for every time brett tried to get an answer about her own policy she went back to beating down on trump, now she says she's going to speak and not dump on trump as much as she's talking about policies, which is a every week seems to be different. >> especially because an liz cheney interval thing over the last couple of years is taking a stand against donald trump specifically because of the threat she thinks he causes because of things he did and did not do on january 6 that's what the theater behind us has country over party banner were two of them will talk later. it is not very much at all about specific policy proposals or even broad policy proposals from
12:07 pm
the democrats, it is an idea that they're trying to explain donald trump to people who might've missed him in the way that he talks in 2020 or 2016. >> he has not changed, how many more times king kamala harris change before the election, so far three or four complete spin around, thank you very much for that i appreciate it let's bring in commentator sarah bedford, now we are to believe that kamala harris is a good samaritan, she's not going to knock anybody down. that's all she spent last week doing on the campaign trail and her interview with fox. >> her campaign took a darker turn in the past week or so as she ratcheted up the neb into negative rhetoric against donald trump which is nothing new that voters have not heard for the past eight years there's probably not an american who has not heard negative rhetoric that she is leaning on that's very
12:08 pm
reminiscent of the end of the hillary clinton campaign that kamala harris is running on now, the problem for kamala harris, she's just about out of runway, there is two weeks left in the election, typically candidates should be in turnout mode not in persuasion they should try to get their existing voters to the polls, no longer trying to persuade voters that they are the candidate they should pull the lever for because they're out of time with early voting in so many states but the fact kamala harris has not pivoted to the turnout phase in trying to win over undecided voters spells trouble for her. >> the fact that there's so many dimensions, on the one hand she was doing nothing but dumping on donald trump it is well within your prerogative and trump has no problems dumping on her, it certainly happens on the outside but now she's pulling the good samaritan that she is not about dumping on anybody she's about lifting everybody up. you cannot lift everybody up if you're calling half the country
12:09 pm
nonsensical for going for a fascist which is essentially what her people have been sa saying. that strategy runs the risk of reinforcing her biggest negative with voters that she comes off as inauthentic and they don't know what she stands for because she is. in 70 issues and she's talking out of both sides of her mouth when it comes to the fundamental issue of whether a positive or negative campaign, that reinforces her negative in two weeks to go before the election it's not really a time for candidates to test out new messages, you see donald trump sticking to the same things, he's hitting his closing argument on message most of the time, kamala harris has not landed on a message and were two weeks away from the election, that's really dangerous position for presidential candidate to be in. david: as we can see on the screen we have donald trump in hard-hit north carolina he's right at the hardest hit area
12:10 pm
according to the people on site there was missteps in terms and it seemed with the florida hurricane that passed after that it seemed that fema and a one republican governor governor desantis were working well together. how effective do you think the north carolina situation will be as a part of trump's campaign. >> both sides have worked to politicize the storm to some degree in north carolina was already going to be a tight squeeze for donald trump and kamala harris but the fact that he is there and speaking to the damages of the hurricane underscores that his campaign has been making smarter decisions when it comes to optics and messaging then kamala harris his campaign he was at the al smith dinner he works the fry machine a mcdonald's, he is on the ground in north carolina speaking to the damages ends
12:11 pm
making smart decisions and acting like a winning campaign and that's trump's not harris' which appears to be somewhat flailing right now. david: what about kamala harris' relationship with joe biden, on the one hand she's the one candidate in she's different in the fact she seemed being far to the left of bernie sanders but alone joe biden when she was asked specifically what she would do differently than what biden did during the last three to half years, she could not think of a thing how did she join the two parts on the one hand saying she's different from joe biden in the other hand saying she would not do anything different from what joe biden has done. >> her campaign has not figured out how to square the circle on joe biden at this point in the campaign is pretty shocking, she cannot have it both ways she could not embrace the totality of what the biden administration has accomplished and go on to
12:12 pm
say she would roll completely differently from joe biden. it's kind of surprising she did not distance herself more forcefully from joe biden when doing so might've had the chance of making an impact in the race. i think it's too late for her to do anything but continue down the path of aligning herself with biden that's probably not the smartest political choice but it's one that she made before we got to the point that were two weeks before the election and there is not time for a different message to catch on. >> sarah bedford political commentator, extraordinaire, great to see you thank you for being here, we appreciate it, let's get to the markets they are not doing too well, we begin the trading week we have four weeks in a row and they have been zooming along quite nicely, all three embassies today taken a step down to kick off the new trading week, with the dow and s&p 500 pulling back with erin gibbs who joins us in studio
12:13 pm
mitch roschelle, wonderful to see you both, let's talk about the election weather has an effect on the markets. as trump has pulled ahead or at least come up from behind to get even with kamala harris, the markets have gone up or are the markets reflecting trump's gains. >> and think the market is reflecting the polls that we've been seeing, even in september get a few the industries being a little more trampolining and i was reversed in october, never coming back again late october, is not as a forcing the markets putting massive amount of money and much what receipt of the polls it's pretty slight were
12:14 pm
not seen anybody that's really getting ahead there's always good to be people taking risks and about on the opportunity and i think we see a reflection of that. david: do you see any connection between the market rise and harris decline. >> i tend to agree with aaron, what is interesting if we go back to 2016 on election day the market did not know how to digest a trump when and use all the markets do incredibly well with the four years of his presidency. i think there is probably a little bit of déjà vu in the markets expecting a trump administration would be better for business and as a result better for the stock market especially in the areas of tax reform and deregulation. david: let me stick with you for a second, what worries you the most about donald trump's economic policy from what you've heard he's going hard-core on using tariffs as both an
12:15 pm
economic and political tool. >> i don't see tariffs, i am not a fan of tariffs as a long-term means of leveling the playing field but donald trump has proven he uses as a negotiating tool so i do not buy into the inflationary long-term effect of tariffs. think about it donald trump used tariffs to deal with immigration issue with mexico to get them to the table and it had nothing to do with trade. i'm not too worried about how he will use tariffs and the impact on the economy. david: biden inherited a 1.4% inflation rate, did not show up in the overall inflation, let's talk about harris policies, what concerns you most about economic policies and how might that bleed over into the markets. >> i think because representative from what we've seen what biden has done and we continue to see a greater
12:16 pm
deficit as well as greater inflationary pressures, this idea if we keep spending like this ultimately taxes are going to have to be raised causing contraction and economic growth, i agree with mitch when you take economist and you look at what each candidate has proposed in their negative with economic growth, trump is willing to use tariffs more as a negotiating tactic and real those back whereas harris cannot go back to spending policy so quickly, not something that is easily reversed it will lead to continue inflation. david: the idea of the wealth tax with unrealized gains and for example you have a democrat senate and house which is unlikely but if you do, if she becomes president and that passes, how would that affect the market.
12:17 pm
>> it would destroy in a enormous amount of wealth within the markets, not only slowing down the investing of the stock market will slowing the overall economic growth. it would be extraordinarily detrimental. david: we had breaking news, kind of threw off our timing on this but i do owe you one on the debt issue, i wanted to focus on that with you, please come back. >> i'll take you up on it. thank you to both of you. we're going to begin former world bank president david malpass and a moment and get his thoughts on not only the world debit the manufacturing crises in the soaring deficit that we have at home. stay with us for that. ♪

12:23 pm
are asking the court to stop perplexity from using the news articles to provide answers to questions, it was launched two years ago and backed by jeff bezos rupert murdaugh owns the dow jones and the new york post as well as fox news media, stay tuned for that, but wayne is relying on news machinist they will vote wednesday on a new proposal to end the five -week-old strike fox business max gorden has the latest on this. >> could the strike at boeing be coming to an end, machinist will be voting on wednesday on a new contract proposal with acting u.s. secretary of labor julie su with the machinists and aerospace workers local 751 the new proposal includes a 35% wage increase over four years one-time signing bonus of $7000 and increase 401k contribution
12:24 pm
this as a missed machinist drag on the five weeks of 33000 the west coast unionized workers going on strike since 13th, the main issue is pay on september 95% of the workers rejected the tentative agreement operated 25% pay raise over four years it is been halted production of boeing jets including the 737 max, 767 and triple seven according to figures released by anderson economic group at cost but when within $7.6 billion and this is problems that plagued the airplane manufacturer including door plug 737 passenger jet back in january whistleblowers coming forward about shoddy manufacturing process in the boeing ceo undue probe by the faa and safety practices was initiated on friday the latest negotiated proposal, an opportunity for boeing to move
12:25 pm
past another hurdle in a simple majority will determine the outcome of the strike and a message to members a union negotiation committee wrote the future of the contractor junior hands. david: they had a lot of trouble world bank president david malpass, i want you to react to a wall street journal article from this morning writing in the journal the crisis at boeing and intel are a national emergency and the two companies the one set the standard for the world-class manufacturing from the troubles we can america. , what says david malpass, kalama harris is parading her running mate parading manufacturing is a great success story from the biden harris years, is it or is it the other way around? >> has not been a success and were falling further behind these are important problems of intel and boeing called out in the article one thing i observed there is accountability in your
12:26 pm
story was the accountability at boeing the market punishes them in the ceo leaves that does not happen government we have a giant problem in washington spending $7 trillion with no accountability no one's blamed for the leaks of the iran document or the huge budget leakage and failures. and that's a manufacturing problem and many others in terms of education and skills, one of the problems government is huge and it is a huge chunk of spending through contract that don't work. david: i want to talk about the debt and a second but these two companies are very worried they show with regard to one of them a failure in policy, intel more
12:27 pm
than any other company benefited from the chips act they got $8.5 billion in direct funding through the chips act and $11 billion in sweetheart loans from the government and yet they are going down. i feel like churchill when will the lesson be learned government directed industrial policy does not work, isn't this a classic example of that. >> i hope they aren't going down. the government answers to throw money at things and not think through the core problem how do we not get enough engineers that stay in the u.s. and don't go back to china or india. we really have to look at the individual parts of the problem and begin fixing them and what they did instead was hundreds of billions of dollars drawn from
12:28 pm
government and it's not working. you are right on the and it's a big problem. david: meanwhile the worker suffered more than the people at the top of the golden parachutes there's been a loss over the past four months of 37000 manufacturing jobs when you look at the big guys at intel and boeing and the workers on manufacturing companies, how can harris biden possibly make the case that their policies are helping manufacturing. >> they cannot run away from the policy is odd she didn't use the opportunity to say i would do something different they had the inflation so i'm sympathetic with the workers they deserve higher wages because of all of the inflation. we have a circular problem of government spends and spends and that causes inflation and the workers get left behind, to
12:29 pm
rebuild manufacturing in the industrial capacity i think we have to start from the bottom up and have the skills needed in the restraint on government so it's not out of control and it lets business to it. we have all the financial system problems that have been named were medium-sized banks cannot merge and they're not making loans to the small companies, then you get a bigger bigger in both the government in the corporate sector that simply doesn't work. david: we just got the new fiscal 2024 figures of total government revenue in the amount of money were spending servicing the debt $4.918 trillion came into government revenue for fiscal year 2024 but were spending 1.1323 trillion% of all government revenue went to the t that's unsustainable.
12:30 pm
>> it is educated go higher and out of the consequences have fed through. in the meantime the government is getting record revenue and on the international side they're proposing a global tax that's coming out today and all week and people hyping the problem of the fiscal deficit insane the answer is more and more tax we need a sweeping up people of the systems in d.c. for the u.s. national interest. david: of trumpets elected that will be elon musk's job or one of the people tackling the issue. >> and i say on that trump knows the manufacturing area he built things, how many candidates have actually built anything he built the whole west side of new york and the famous ice-skating rink where my kids skated and he did it in record time. if we could only have on
12:31 pm
submarines in the missile-defense system brother trying to build all of these are behind schedule and over budget. >> private sector does it better than the government sector. just the way it is, thank you very much. we appreciate it, the u.s. is investigating an intelligence leak may have revealed israeli plans to strike back on iran, we will have more on this after the break but when it comes to caring for his teeth he's let his own maintenance take a back seat. well maybe it's time to shift gears on that. aspen dental has complete, affordable care all under one roof. plus $29 exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance and 20% off treatment plans for everyone. making it easier to get started with quality care. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner.

12:36 pm
david: u.s. officials are investigating a leak of classified intel that outlines israel's preparation for an attack on iran, rich edson live at the white house with more on the very serious stuff. good afternoon white house officials are telling us there looking into how all this happened whether it was a leak or hack and how this information into depth in the public domain the white house has been anticipating an israeli attack in response to the ballistic missiles they launched israel earlier this month she's in one of the leaked documents details israeli it describes a weapon the plymouth halls to prepare iranian response the national intelligence agency prepared these documents, the agency analyzes u.s. spy satellite images the former prime minister says this leak is an issue. >> such a link of a considerable
12:37 pm
concern from our perspective when we have operational plan we don't wanted to leak cheese, we want to do it and not have it leaked to anyone and certainly not her enemies. >> president biden confirmed friday in germany that the u.s. knows when israel plans to hit iran and what target has chosen he warned israel against hitting the nuclear site safety was to prevent another excavation is unclear how the u.s. knows about israel's plans, who leaked information whether they did it to deter israel's attacks, house republicans say they're looking into it. >> there are unfortunately leaky ships, we know we had in the past robert malley chief envoy to iran lost his security clearance. >> there is no indication anywhere the documents will end up online, they said they'll be
12:38 pm
watching. david: rob nally lost his position as an iranian envoy to the biden administration because there was suspicion that he was sharing intel with the foreign enemy, if you want to use that word and a lot of suspicion whether it was iran are they putting two and two together here. >> malley if you remember republicans that's with the congressman did he had his position suspended as security clearance suspended knitted investigation according to sources from the fbi and on the hill as to whether or not he was sending sensitive information to his personal e-mail and whether a foreign actor access to the e-mail that's been ongoing for some time. rich edson thank you to that kamala harris campaign saying she will support the expansion of fossil fuel drilling in the u.s. at a time when energy independence is more crucial than ever, let's forget american petroleum institute ceo mike
12:39 pm
sommers to make sense of this first use for fracking and then in favor, see any coherent energy policy from kamala harris. >> we need to think about who's calling the shots, vice president harris supports fracking, she will not support into the future so expansion of fracking, the real question becomes, if you can produce in the united states the good produces someplace else in the world, because we know demand for oil and natural gas is only going up it is not going down i think the vice president andrew campaign have a lot to answer for. david: you deal with drillers and people in the energy business all the time, you speak to them, how can they make plans for the future it is all about the future when it comes to
12:40 pm
energy markets but when you have no coherence on the part of one of the candidates in terms of energy how can you make plans for the future. >> that's a real concern and i think vice president harris will have to answer a lot of questions there are a number of things that we have to address before people start voting, for example where is vice president harris going to come down on the epa rule that will be on the combustion engine for the american people where will she come down on increase production on federal lands in federal waters we now have a federal judge who has ruled that will have to stop production in the gulf of mexico by december if the rule is it reversed, where will she come down on the expansion of the lng pause in the gulf of mexico, we need the market to forget it continue to grow production in the united states. these three questions are very important. >> former president trump says he can cut the price of oil in half if he becomes president,
12:41 pm
can he do it. >> i think for our industries could require investment and what we need a stable policy in the stable regulatory environment so we can invest here in the united states not just on federal land and federal water but private land as well which is where most of the production is the stable regulatory environment and an administration that supports development of american oil and gas and we need an international market american drillers and american oil and gas producers are up to the challenge if we can get those things right. >> stability we have not seen a lot of recently probably because an election campaign hopefully things will sort themselves out after the election thank you very much the dow kicking off into the red it doesn't seem to be a sense of panic it's the same over 300 points on the dow

12:47 pm
another record high as concerns of the middle eastern u.s. elections way on investors, editor and chief adam company bc is here. what is going on and how much higher edge trading 2736 announce. >> it's been a crazy run, gold is up over 30% year to date silver up over 40% and it's really interesting we've been bullish for some time and we continue to call for new all-time highs and uc gold is only safe haven asset over the last month or so that is performed strongly you see the no go up 60 basis points since the fed meeting in gold hitting a new all-time high and the u.s. dollar which was in a downtrend that a lot of people said maybe people are ditching the dollar going into gold because they want more certainty and stability but the u.s. dollar is up 5% over the last couple weeks and gold continues to push
12:48 pm
higher, i think gold is a global safe haven trade and there's not really anything competing with you anymore it's pretty incredible to watch. >> is all about inflation is that our concern of inflation i know when inflation was up to 9%, everybody was going into gold but it stayed that way and so did inflation, the prices did not come down yet nor did the prices of gold. as a appear indicator of inflation? >> i think inflation has been a definite undercurrent and it started to grow more and as we see stronger labor market and hotter inflation data not everyone saying wait a minute maybe the fight isn't over and the fed declared victory prematurely and that's why back in september we were puzzled that cut by 50 basis point and i don't think we did to the 50 basis point cut at all whether
12:49 pm
september or november or december and i think gold is saying what you're saying is correct there is a risk of inflation returning in 2025 and there's a lot of uncertainty. right now the volatility index is up over 40% year to date and if you ask the average investor do we see a lot of volatility there enter would be no 45 all-time highs in the s&p but clearly markets are starting to price and volatility summit event on the horizon whether the selection, the fed or inflation is all the above in gold continues to push towards 3000. david: have a certain% only in the one digit number but a certain% of my portfolio, i think everybody should, thank you very much i appreciate it. a program to bailout businesses during covid has become a $200 billion nightmare for the irs, that is an expense that you the taxpayer are on the hook for, upper metro chairman zane tango is here to discuss this,
12:50 pm
